[00:13:22] This is part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news
[00:13:24] But before I get into the personal news, let me explain to you why it's a special day
[00:13:27] you might be thinking, well, wait a minute, is it a special day? Because, you know, your favorite
[00:13:32] politician, Benjamin Netanyahu speaking at the United Nations. No, that's absolutely not the reason.
[00:13:37] You might be thinking, is it because you squatted today was like day and like days
[00:13:41] are always fun, wonderful, fantastic? No, it's not. That's part of the reason,
[00:13:45] but that's not the only reason. Ladies and gentlemen, today's a very special day,
[00:13:49] because it's always a special day every week. It's Friday.
[00:13:53] That's right.
[00:13:55] It's Friday then.
[00:13:57] Folks, boys, girls, and Bs.
[00:13:59] It is Friday.
[00:14:01] More like Friday.
[00:14:03] It's Friday.
[00:14:05] It's Friday.
[00:14:07] It's Friday.
[00:14:09] It's Friday.
[00:14:11] It's a one day of the week where
[00:14:13] you change your entire life
[00:14:15] going from a wage cut to a party
[00:14:17] with a little bit of autonomy,
[00:14:19] a little bit of humanity.
[00:14:21] celebration is necessary because
[00:14:26] we've got the weekend and we will continue celebrating that every Friday.
[00:14:31] Until there are no more Fridays, until maybe Thursday becomes a new Friday,
[00:14:36] and maybe a three-day weekend.
[00:14:39] Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, can that be a necessity?
[00:14:54] For Friday, or frayay, or fray sleigh.
[00:15:00] That's right. Okay. So let's get started before I get into the news news. This is where I do my personal news
[00:15:07] This is part of the broadcast where I tell you about what's going on in the world of wassama wassama piker in between the time
[00:15:13] Period where I pressed the stop streaming button and pressed the start streaming button
[00:15:17] wana was cooking on the
[00:15:20] On the one piece side of things wana was starting to cook pretty hard pretty goddamn hard
[00:15:25] I'll be honest with you. I'm at like 10 55 at this point
[00:15:28] It's pretty good. Are you dressing your Halloween costume? No, this is just the shit that I wear
[00:15:36] normally. I just wanted to put that shit on because it's put that shit on university
[00:15:41] out here every day. I want to, I want to celebrate every day like it's my last and
[00:15:47] it is because I, you know, I care about you guys and I want to put that shit on.
[00:15:57] That's it. Looking like a hip professor. Yeah. Anyway, last night at the broadcast after
[00:16:04] the one liberal team versus 20 Trump supporters broke my brain. After that, I had to, you know,
[00:16:08] reset the vibes by watching a shit ton of Luffy and co fight against unjustifiable hierarchies,
[00:16:16] no matter where they are, no matter how powerful they might seem. So that's what I did. We're in
[00:16:21] Wano right now, Wano territory, Wano country, Wano is only 30 episodes left. And I'm actually
[00:16:30] very uh very excited the streets called it they're calling you mr. put that shit on that's right
[00:17:03] Yeah, the AI the AI cover for this is just kind of terrible. I'm not gonna lie. But anyway folks boys girls and bees
[00:17:17] We got a lot to talk about okay. We got a lot to talk about in the news
[00:17:20] But as far as personal news goes I'm gonna blow through it real quick. I'm a pastor real quick. I'm gonna do my thing
[00:17:29] um
[00:17:30] I'm gonna do my thing. I'm gonna do my dang thing
[00:17:34] So
[00:17:36] How did it go seeing this?
[00:17:41] really good
[00:17:49] Really really good
[00:17:56] That isn't real right? No, it's not real. Thank you. Joseph 33 for the 10 to 1 give the subs
[00:18:03] God damn, what was that everyone? Oh, yeah, Wano is great. I can't wait to get the egg head
[00:18:09] Obviously things are getting a lot better
[00:18:11] Things are getting a lot better in terms of like the arc itself
[00:18:15] but went to bed last night early. Okay. Woke up early. You already know what it is. Uh,
[00:18:25] will go early went to do leg day. Now Fridays are my leg days, but the problem is yesterday
[00:18:30] I went a little nutty mode, a little crazy, right? I went a little crazy mode on the
[00:18:36] basketball courts. I was dunking and shit. Y'all saw that Robin's Tata's are out
[00:18:42] an egghead. Hurry up. Oh my God. Are you serious? We got a, we got some tatas on the,
[00:18:49] we almost got some sneak previews on the top top front in this art too. But yeah, uh, in
[00:18:56] any case, uh, one, my lawyer is slandering me. Okay. Let me just point out that my
[00:19:02] freaking lawyer, Alexander Lollover ruled is slandering me or in his nerdy ass epic
[00:19:10] reddit debate bro voice and slander is done via
[00:19:15] voice uh... libel is done written it's actually libel okay you're libeling me
[00:19:20] okay shut up lowell
[00:19:23] it's messed up
[00:19:24] my jobless lawyer is is too busy creating
[00:19:28] a job for himself which is a defamation case coming down his way
[00:19:33] anyway uh... but
[00:19:34] more importantly than that like i uh... one of the
[00:19:39] The boy did 308 per five.
[00:19:43] I almost fuckin' tripped myself by the way.
[00:19:45] Look at this.
[00:19:46] I was so invested in hitting those heels.
[00:19:49] Look.
[00:19:50] Okay, first one is never that good.
[00:19:56] Boom.
[00:20:02] Please stop using the same song.
[00:20:04] I hate it.
[00:20:05] Well, I'm not going to.
[00:20:14] But the fifth one it was it was hard it was hard
[00:20:22] Wine about a fans isn't fear and most the outside of wine about it cutie gets the yard. Yes. She's wrong. I
[00:20:30] Don't know why cutie thinks that wine about it in and the yard would have more crossover when she's literally a goddamn
[00:20:38] Host on fear and he was kind of strange watching you do squats
[00:20:41] Well, let me tell you it felt kind of strange putting all that weight up there, too
[00:20:45] but uh yeah honestly the boy is Brawlick you already know it's the Brawlick boy it's
[00:20:54] the Brawlick boy okay it's the Brawlick boy being Brawlick calm down Kaya rip pants moment
[00:21:08] coming anytime soon yeah honestly I mean my ass is so fucking fat I might as well be
[00:21:13] ripping that shit overall decent decent leg day not super excited about 308 obviously
[00:21:20] I'm seeing a lot more gains on the deadlift front and I thought that that would also translate
[00:21:24] potentially to the squat front as well. But honestly, it hasn't. But it's not bad. I'll
[00:21:34] take it. I'll take it. What's with the matrix fit? I just wanted to put that shit on, dude.
[00:21:40] I'm Mr. Put that shit on. Also another journalist, another prominent air quotes journalist
[00:21:47] from New York, slandering me again. Everyone is in New, everyone in New York is out to get
[00:21:52] me all because they were jealous of my rank in the Adams Polycule. I never had to clean
[00:21:56] the dishes due to my sensory issues. And now all of those problems are coming out to
[00:22:01] the forefront. Okay. Alex Press, Jacob in doing fake news again, Feds charge mayor with
[00:22:10] giving Turkey favors in exchange for airline flights and appearing on a Sompiker stream,
[00:22:22] hearing that there's a particularly well known Turkish influencer who might be
[00:22:25] caught up in all this. All of the Alexes are turning on me. All of the, just because I was the only one in the polycule not named Alex. And therefore I got additional amenities such as not having to do the dishes and not having to actually do shower time does not change, does not change the reality that like these things did not happen. Okay, I hate this slander. Stop it. Also, here, I'm Mr put that shit on as you already fucking know. All right. Mr put that shit on.
[00:22:58] I'm new to your stream. But what do you think of super sets? I love super sets. Yeah. To them
[00:23:12] I say, may my haters be my waiters at the table of success. Okay. That's where we're
[00:23:20] at. So chew ID. It's the Bodie Nike collab. Those are the shoes. Got the bodies on the
[00:23:48] toes. He's okay. Okay. Yeah. They are virtually good luck. They're virtually impossible
[00:23:58] the fund. Okay, good luck. If you were lucky, you could have got it. You could have gotten
[00:24:09] it for 160 retail. But not many are lucky. Okay, now they're going for like, I don't
[00:24:17] even know what they're going for, but I think they're going for like 1000 a pop or some
[00:24:20] shit. But your boys got connects. Shout out dude. I'm 30 today. Congratulations, chatter.
[00:24:33] You're an old now just like me. Um, but yeah, these are the ones. They're a little
[00:24:38] slim I'll be honest they're a little slim like I'm not I'm not gonna say that they are
[00:24:46] they're definitely a little tight on the sides get a pair of hokas instead for a price uh your
[00:24:52] feet won't hurt I just like the fucking shoes I got them for retail but like I said I don't even
[00:25:05] know how like it's not like I try super fucking hard for this shit I just get really lucky like
[00:25:12] like what the Doc Martens do,
[00:25:14] like the Doc Martens Rick Owens collab I got for retail
[00:25:17] and it's like, when you get these shoes for retail
[00:25:19] it's like a perfectly normal price
[00:25:21] but the problem is like, you can't really get this ship
[00:25:23] for, you can't really get the ship for retail.
[00:25:26] So on the resale, it's like $1,000 for the shoe
[00:25:31] which is ass, you know what I mean?
[00:25:34] It's like ridiculous.
[00:25:37] They do look like the Cortezes but I think they're,
[00:25:39] I mean, they're sleek man, they're really nice.
[00:25:41] I really like them like happy thursday bro is friday through sneaker scalpers are the worst
[00:26:07] yeah i've been trying to find those doxies you first show them around march i haven't been able
[00:26:12] to find them in retail in my size honestly the thing is if you're really into if you're really
[00:26:18] really fucking into uh clothing and you know when they're gonna launch if you're really
[00:26:25] in a clothing and you know when they're gonna launch you can probably nab them
[00:26:32] sneak your scalpers to the landlords of fashion yeah i just get lucky is there an update on your
[00:26:51] roge on motors they're clean they're they're done they they got cleaned up they did it they did it uh
[00:26:58] they did the damn thing those boots sold out in two minutes i was a spanish class but i was
[00:27:01] trying to buy it but i was too late yeah i don't know how the fuck i got a retail bro i genuinely
[00:27:06] Maybe it's because I'm a size 13
[00:27:09] That literally could be the reason and like many people don't actually buy size 13. I don't know maybe
[00:27:16] but like I always am
[00:27:20] Incredibly fucking lucky with these kinds of shoes
[00:27:23] I'm incredibly lucky with these kinds of shoes like when it comes to purchasing a retail. I
[00:27:31] don't know
[00:27:42] Yeah, see the the boots the boots are $800 now
[00:27:46] like the ones I'm was wearing which is by the way still cheaper than Rick Owen shoes
[00:27:52] even though it's literally better than Rick Owens boots you know wait what the
[00:27:59] fuck past company wrote about me crazy it's ass though like I'll be honest it
[00:28:23] is totally unacceptable and totally fucking ass for nice pair of boots like
[00:28:28] that to go up to $800 when you can buy them for fucking 270 when it first came
[00:28:33] amount. 800 for fashion boots is insane. Get some. No, no, no. Eight. Listen, guys, 800
[00:28:41] is an insane amount to pay for boots. I 100% agree with you. I'm simply stating that $800
[00:28:48] is still cheaper than Rick Owens normal shit that you can get for Rick Owens boots. But
[00:28:54] it's just like it's ridiculous. You know what I mean? I don't really like the Rick
[00:28:57] almost boots anyway. But $370 or I think I got it for like $270 or $370 whatever it was
[00:29:06] for retail like that is for Doc Martens is really good. Can you do a swear free stream?
[00:29:13] My six year old wants to watch a stream. That would be virtually impossible for me. The
[00:29:22] quality boost for $300 is normal. Yeah. A leftist in $800 boots is so goofy looking.
[00:29:28] all, I didn't buy it for $800. And secondly, I mean, yeah, I spent like 200 on a nice pair of boots
[00:29:40] and it was still shit quality. I feel like everything is worse now. Like all the clothing are all the
[00:29:45] clothing is just worse overall. How was it better than mainline rig? My friend still wears his
[00:29:53] fashion week 11 centers of boots and it wore it and wore in perfectly. I think the Doc Martens
[00:30:00] Oans collab boots look better than the regular Rick Owens boots. That's all I'm saying. Okay
[00:30:07] That's my take
[00:30:23] Fuck the fashion and all this stuff. There's a lot going on in the world. We're gonna be we're gonna be talking about that
[00:30:30] Okay, bb talks at un
[00:30:47] Because there's a lot going on Israel strikes, baby root is bb talks at un
[00:30:50] we're gonna be talking about that we don't even know what the fucking death toll is at
[00:30:56] this point you know it's it's pretty devastating overall oh a couple more a couple more personal
[00:31:05] news before I blast off hold on where is it where is it where is it here a lot of you
[00:31:12] want me to look at this before we get to the bay route stuff last off me move you
[00:31:22] on the New York Post cover. Okay, you know what? That's a pretty good one. All right. Yeah. This is
[00:31:45] what you want me to talk about. Gaming streaming star Rachel Vagrae Hofstadter launches anime focus
[00:31:51] media company high high studios. Here's the link. Here's the animation for it. Hi, hi. So excited
[00:32:00] to finally announce the launch by media company high studios. My love for animation has only
[00:32:04] grown and now excited to be able to be involved in creating entertainment across TV film and
[00:32:07] other medium stay tuned. Miss the lifting because of a call have you covered it already? I did.
[00:32:31] I did 308 for five again on my squats on my top set but it wasn't good. I wasn't very happy with it.
[00:32:40] Yeah, Slay Queening, Gaslight and Gatekeeping. She is lapping you. Yeah, of course dude.
[00:32:49] I am an incredibly, I'm an incredibly fortunate person to be surrounded by friends who are
[00:32:54] are endlessly talented and incredibly successful
[00:32:57] and much better than me in every way, shape and form.
[00:33:02] But yeah, this seems super stupid.
[00:33:05] A lot of people in my line of work,
[00:33:09] like people that have,
[00:33:12] people that have blown up in the same timeframe as I did
[00:33:18] are doing way more shit, like doing way cooler stuff.
[00:33:40] I mean, this is, I'm proud.
[00:33:41] is sick. He's not doing crime like you though. Yeah, because you fell off. It's true. That's
[00:33:57] what it is. But yeah, she could be doing graphic novels, stuff like that. Developing produced
[00:34:04] IP for graphic novels, TV and film projects with specific emphasis on anime content. Pretty
[00:34:09] fire. Sounds like guaranteed garbage. I'm gonna be very critical law. Okay, dog. Good

[00:35:03] basically and and you know put together uh new entertainment you should voice a female character

[00:35:24] spot yes so that's exciting also i wanted to show you guys this this is such a
[00:35:36] Stupid fucking video, and I thought it was really funny when I saw it
[00:35:40] I didn't even know there was a thing like this the Hassanabi AI
[00:35:43] It's a combination of words that would convey a meaning to any person. It's kind of shocking how good
[00:35:49] My my AI voice is you can read past the fifth grade level
[00:35:57] She's I can read just fine. You're just not making any sense
[00:36:00] Yeah, that just proves my point. Thank you.
[00:36:07] So, you better watch your mouth, you damn extra. I can let the floor with you in seconds.
[00:36:20] What?
[00:36:21] I don't, I don't think...
[00:36:22] You know you're talking to the great Katsuki Bakugou, right?
[00:36:28] I know I'm talking to someone trying way too hard to pretend they were cool in middle school, and it's actually kind of sad
[00:36:36] That sounds exactly like me, bro. What the hell is that where how do I get this AI apparently? I was talking to Frogan, too
[00:36:45] How the frick is this happening? Why is that so good?
[00:36:49] It's terrifying. I've spoken too much online now. They have like all of the different ways in which I speak like it's messed up

[00:37:20] I'm the furthest thing from uncool.
[00:37:23] Is she gonna hug up with...
[00:37:26] The second hand embarrassment I'm feeling for your parents after reading this is insane
[00:37:36] My parents would be proud of me I am gonna be a better hero than all might someday
[00:37:42] Better than all might sure you know people will be able to read this when you graduate and try to apply for jobs
[00:37:50] Right good luck trying to explain this to your to your future boss
[00:37:53] What kind of pro hero as a boss? All I plan to do after graduating is become the number
[00:38:01] one hero besides no future boss would deny. AI voice based on how much sample data there
[00:38:06] is and since we have 10 years of you talking in one way or another your AI voice is actually
[00:38:10] pretty good yeah. Don't worry, hotspot can't steal your job. He can never be as parasocial
[00:38:17] with chatters as you. Yeah, hotspot. Well, technically it could. Technically it could.
[00:38:22] could just like literally tie a place technically it could memorize every fucking minute detail
[00:38:29] about my chatters in a way that I do myself so play the frogan clip you are done for
[00:38:41] bro i'm in therapy yeah i know and it's clearly not working lol wait what that's that is literally

[00:39:13] be homeless, bro. No, this sucks. I got to debate the bot. I got to debate the fucking
[00:39:20] bot. I got to destroy the bot in the marketplace of ideas. We might do that later, but we
[00:39:24] have some serious news to get to. All right, we from all the fun stuff we are
[00:39:28] We're now moving into not so fun stuff, okay?
[00:39:32] Moving on quickly into Lebanon, we are going to be talking about all of the fuck shit that
[00:39:38] Israel is engaging in once again.
[00:39:42] Israel has bombed Beirut, remember Beirut is not southern Lebanon, it's not like villages
[00:39:47] and towns, it's just straight up like eight metropolitan city in the middle of a sovereign
[00:39:52] nation.
[00:39:53] And, oh yeah, I blasted off, I forgot.

[00:40:10] there are literally a shit ton. There are a shit ton of people both in this community,
[00:40:17] people that you know, people that, uh, you're familiar with, like people's parents.
[00:40:22] Like there's it is akin to bombing Istanbul. It is akin. And if you think Istanbul
[00:40:27] also out of touch and out of reach and you can't comprehend it. It's like bombing fucking New York.
[00:40:31] Okay. Literally. It is like if 9 11 was happening again. Okay. Shouldn't have terrorist shouldn't
[00:40:44] have had terrorists in it. Oh, um, I hope whatever you wish upon the third world happens to you
[00:40:51] in the exact same severity, not like 10 fold or anything like that,
[00:40:55] But just simply in the exact same severity, you know, so no, I'm not going to do his song
[00:41:10] yesterday. Okay. Everybody shut the fuck up. We're moving on. We're doing the thing. Okay.
[00:41:14] Damn. Chatter basically said, America deserve not a level shouldn't have had tears meddling
[00:41:17] in the Middle East. I mean, it's like beyond that. It's beyond that. I know that a lot
[00:41:25] of people are joking like, Oh, it's the New York of America or whatever. Like this
[00:41:28] is not a joke. Okay. Beirut literally Beirut straight up is no different than any other
[00:41:34] fucking city in Europe. Okay. Any other city anywhere else on the planet, but for people
[00:41:39] who only have the capacity to view like Westerners as a real human beings, the capital of Lebanon
[00:41:47] obviously has, I mean, it has 2.5 million people in it. It is literally fucking no different
[00:41:53] than any other goddamn Metropolitan city. It's the capital. Okay. It is ridiculous.
[00:42:00] Okay. It is no different. It is no different than bombing Paris. We were eating when we
[00:42:18] heard it 10 fucking hands. We are 15 minutes away and our building was shaking. I thought
[00:42:21] the war and Beirut has started. There was a lot of smoke and we rushed to call our loved
[00:42:24] ones as we've been doing for the last few weeks. Six buildings are on the ground
[00:42:27] now. There were kids inside, of course. It is comp. It is utterly repulsive. It
[00:42:38] is completely unacceptable, disgusting. It is an act of war once again, but Israel
[00:42:44] gets to do it. As always, Israel always gets to do it. And if you fucking say Israel doesn't
[00:42:50] get to do it, then you obviously are anti-Semitic and should be also put in prison. Great stuff.
[00:42:58] Overall, fantastic, wonderful, seems really cool. We should just not rein this shit in
[00:43:04] at all. We should just not even try to rein this shit in at all. Israel gets to do it.
[00:43:10] It's basically the fucking forthright and America is the line with it. Once again, I repeat my position
[00:43:18] And I find myself doing this quite a bit
[00:43:21] If you were ever wondering what it would look like during World War two if America actually went to war on the side of the Nazis
[00:43:32] Now, you know
[00:43:33] Okay, if you were ever wondering what it would look like you don't have to look at like
[00:43:38] like, uh, you know, fictional works of art in a parallel universe or anything like that.
[00:43:42] This is happening right in front of your fucking eyes. Okay. That tweet is a joke. Shut the
[00:43:49] fuck up. What I'm receiving reports of fierce debates within the US administration. Biden
[00:43:57] and Austin want to jointly nominate Nanny. I don't go a lot. Oh yeah. This is a joke.
[00:44:01] Yes. This is Moin Robani joking. It's not being, he's not being serious. I mean,
[00:44:12] like, yeah, I want to suggest covering the John Oliver video about disability benefits.
[00:44:29] sorry if this is annoying. I won't comment on this again. Yeah, I'm not going to do that
[00:44:32] right now. You're out of your fucking mind. If you think I'm going to do that. Okay. For
[00:44:45] all of the reporting coming from Israel that Hassan Nasrallah is dead from the likes of
[00:44:49] Osset defender, which are like hyper Zionists. If you think that that is the case, like,
[00:44:54] I don't know what to tell you, you have to wait for Hezbollah to come out with
[00:44:58] a statement. Okay. They have to justify why they're doing these like massive fucking
[00:45:04] strikes. If you, if you're just going to like literally listen to the IDF on this, I mean,
[00:45:09] it could be true, but if you immediately go along with the IDF's assessment on it, I don't
[00:45:15] know what to tell you. Okay. Yeah. It's probably not the case. Here is the bureau chief for
[00:45:25] Iraq from Reuters has the law secretary general Hasan Nasrallah is alive source
[00:45:29] close to Hezbollah. So, you know, it's, it's, they're just justifying it because they're
[00:45:42] like, oh, it's Hezbollah was there. We had to strike it. That's why we killed, you know,
[00:45:46] another hundred fucking children in the middle of again, this is Beirut. Okay. Just so you
[00:45:51] understand, like, I hate doing this because I feel like it almost leans into like this
[00:45:56] western heliocentric supremacist attitude where you have to see a fucking city resemble
[00:46:02] like what you think a good city looks like a normal city looks like you know a
[00:46:05] western city it leans into like the orientalist sentiment expressed on the
[00:46:11] other side of this but like it is literally just like any other fucking
[00:46:16] city okay this does not justify doing this kind of thing to gossip or anything
[00:46:24] like that. But like, yeah, here is Israel supposedly supposed to reasoning for doing it.
[00:46:46] The rationale behind the attack was that Russ Nasrallah refused to decouple his bullet from
[00:46:50] Hamas and stopped the guy fighting on the northern border. Therefore the decision was
[00:46:52] to take him out of the decision making picture. Yeah. Um, great stuff. It's just, this is
[00:47:00] This is literally what I said yesterday and the day before Israel could nuke Lebanon and
[00:47:05] America would be on board with it. Okay. That's it.
[00:47:13] Do a breaking news this hour that we want to talk about. We can now confirm that Israel
[00:47:19] strike on Hezbollah's headquarters and Beirut was indeed aimed at.
[00:47:24] Yeah. Here this is Lebanon was living in, in peace and tranquility in 1976 and then
[00:47:28] came Hezbollah, which is such a fucking stupid ass thing to say. Classic anti-theist attitude
[00:47:34] here.
[00:47:35] I was just at the beach in Lebanon less than two weeks ago where everyone was in bathing
[00:47:38] suits and skimpy as in Miami. You freak also who cares? Herbs are only worthy of your life.
[00:47:42] If they're women wear bikinis or the bikinis, the only way to humanize us, you pervert.
[00:47:45] You should be embarrassed. Seek help and leave us alone. This is like looking at
[00:47:50] Lebanon and trying to do that like Egypt or Iraq or Afghanistan style shit is so
[00:47:55] funny because Lebanon still is obviously an incredibly diverse multi-ethnic and also multi-religious
[00:48:01] country, maybe to a fucking fault almost. So it's like hilarious. It'd be like, oh, look,
[00:48:08] look at what has, look at what has Bola did. Look at what Lebanon used to look like. It's
[00:48:13] like, bitch, Lebanon still looks like that. The fuck are you talking about? The fuck
[00:48:17] are you talking about? Have you met a Lebanese person? They're gay as fuck. And I'm not
[00:48:31] saying that about Austin like in general dude it's so fucking annoying these people know nothing about
[00:48:38] anything so local businesses just lost their entire family in a strike in Lebanon Israel needs to stop
[00:49:09] the genocide local business yeah I mean dude dude dude dude dude there's just I'm telling you right now
[00:49:14] they just don't care they don't care you are not seen as a fucking human being yeah you do not get
[00:49:19] to do the Iran pre 1979 thing with Lebanon people wear all kinds of clothing bars line up and done
[00:49:24] on the blog and Beirut, there are gay night clubs. And it doesn't matter. I think Reina's
[00:49:29] take is even better than Sheamus's take on this one because like it shouldn't matter.
[00:49:35] Like you can't justify, you can't use this like dehumanization to be like, see, look
[00:49:40] at how barbaric and backwards they are, which is why we have to bomb them into the
[00:49:43] fucking stone age. Like what kind of argument are you making? I hate that shit. Very
[00:49:53] stupid. Let's get to, let's get to what fucking happened earlier today.
[00:50:08] out the terrorist organization's leader Hassan Nasrallah. We still don't have any confirmation
[00:50:13] though whether Nasrallah has been killed or not. Rescue workers are responding to the
[00:50:18] scene right now in southern.
[00:50:21] And by the way, in terms of like killing Hassan Nasrallah, what a lot of these people fail
[00:50:26] to fucking recognize, okay, from where they're standing is that someone else will always
[00:50:33] filled the void. Okay. It doesn't fucking matter if Yahya Sinwar is assassinated. It doesn't
[00:50:38] matter if Azana's Rala is assassinated. These are not people that are like, I mean, they're
[00:50:42] they're very smart tacticians. Okay. You might not agree with their methods. You might not
[00:50:47] agree with the worldview. I certainly don't in terms of like their own personal domestic
[00:50:52] affairs, but ultimately they're, yes, they are smart tacticians. They're very well
[00:50:58] red. Um, overall though, there's going to be another person that replaces them. You might
[00:51:04] put a stay on the resistance. You might soften the resistance for a brief moment. But ultimately,
[00:51:11] if you continue pummeling these fucking areas, there are going to be new Hasan Nasrallah's
[00:51:16] propping up. There are new Hasan Nasrallah's right now. Okay. Smart technicians. A unique
[00:51:26] way of saying coordinating terrorist attacks. Dude, dude, stop doing this. Okay. You
[00:51:31] You can't do this while we're watching the fucking smoke in the midst of Beirut, okay?
[00:51:36] Like your understanding of terrorism and my understanding of terrorism clearly is not the
[00:51:41] same.
[00:51:42] You literally simply just say, oh, they're the brown guys.
[00:51:44] They're the Muslims.
[00:51:45] They're the terrorists.
[00:51:46] They're the bad guys.
[00:51:47] Stop with this fucking idiotic black and white, incredibly fucking infantile understanding
[00:51:51] of the situation.
[00:51:53] Okay?
[00:51:56] God damn, dude.
[00:51:57] Oh, no, it's, uh, you don't understand.
[00:51:59] of the bad guys and, uh, and, and our allies are the good guys. Duh. Obviously they're
[00:52:05] the good guys, no matter what they do, even in this circumstance, they're the good guys,
[00:52:08] right? Because they're targeting the bad guys. You are a baby brand liberal dipshit. If you
[00:52:13] genuinely believe this, okay? Yeah. You can't level six apartment buildings in the middle
[00:52:30] of a fucking 2.5 million, uh, population dense metropolitan area in an entirely sovereign
[00:52:37] nation and then turn around and be like actually the guys who were in the midst like inside
[00:52:42] of those buildings they are the terrorists like you can't say that you know or you can
[00:52:47] and you can say that in American media you just can't say that here and not expect
[00:52:51] some kind of fucking retaliation okay there are human beings in those buildings they
[00:52:55] are now dead there are people in this community whose family members live in and around
[00:53:01] the vicinity there are community members in my community that live in and around
[00:53:05] vicinity. You're an fucking animal if you think that this kind of attack is justifiable, okay?
[00:53:11] And I don't care about what some other goddamn content creator said about this, okay? Don't
[00:53:22] bring this shit up unless you want simply drama. Like, I don't care what fucking loner box said,
[00:53:27] okay? Why the fuck would I ever care about that? What is wrong with you?
[00:53:32] I'm doing news coverage. You want me to fucking go yell at some random fucking YouTuber, man?
[00:53:38] What the fuck? Who looks at one of the, again, one of the worth escalations in terms of like regional conflict in this area with the death toll increasing by the hundreds overnight and goes, I wonder if I can get Hassan to respond to some random fucking dickhead on YouTube about this issue.
[00:53:58] Okay. Jesus Christ.
[00:54:01] Next, picks your fucking brains, man.
[00:54:04] They're in Beirut where they are evacuating the injured, also retrieving the bodies of
[00:54:11] those that were killed in the airstrike.
[00:54:14] You can still see the plumes of smoke from where that strike took place.
[00:54:17] Our foreign correspondent Marcus Morris in Beirut, along with our contributor and former
[00:54:22] deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East, Mick Mulroy.
[00:54:26] Marcus, let's start with you.
[00:54:27] We're just learning that Benjamin Netanyahu is actually cutting his US trip early now.
[00:54:31] made his speech this morning at the UN. So I'm assuming it's to get back with the news
[00:54:38] of what might have taken place here, still having confirmed the death of Nasrallah, but
[00:54:43] clearly if he is dead, this is going to be a huge story.
[00:54:47] Yeah, this explains why I got three different posts from people in the US military eating
[00:54:51] lobster. The US is prepared to deploy. Yes, they have already, they have already, they're
[00:54:57] already in the fucking surrounding region. They're aware of what Israel is doing and
[00:55:01] they're geared up and ready to go. Okay, to defend Israel.
[00:55:04] Right.
[00:55:06] Yeah, a huge story. No doubt here, a major development happening
[00:55:10] here in Beirut. We're also remember we're not simply we're
[00:55:15] not just giving them the bombs to do this. We are also
[00:55:19] supplying them with surveillance like the United States of
[00:55:22] America. Okay, your taxpayer dollars are literally paying
[00:55:28] American American airplanes surveillance aircraft to surround the region and offer new bombing targets to the Israeli military
[00:55:37] Which then turns around and uses our fighter jets to drop our 2000 pound munitions
[00:55:45] Okay, so when biden says oh man, this sucks. What are we doing here?
[00:55:54] Oh man, how are we going to do this? Like what's happening here? Well, we got to stop
[00:56:00] Israel. Like it's fucking bullshit. Okay. They are not only not restraining Israel, they're
[00:56:05] also supporting Israel. They're funding and facilitating Israel. They're giving Israel.
[00:56:09] They added a $9 billion additional defense package to Israel literally two days ago. Okay.
[00:56:20] Two E three B century AWACS off Lebanon with transponder switched off and the aircraft
[00:56:25] or reappear a few minutes after the bloody air strikes on Beirut. There is no coincidence.
[00:56:29] The U.S. helps Israel bombing Lebanon on a daily basis. The reason why they don't admit
[00:56:33] it is because they know Israel systematically kills civilians during their air strikes.
[00:56:38] Is this the Democratic Party? This is the Uniparty. If you think that America is going
[00:56:47] to change trajectory on its foreign policy because a Democrat is in charge or a Republican
[00:56:53] is in charge, you're out of your fucking mind. And yeah, here, add insult to injury, a photo
[00:57:00] of Netanyahu giving the order to strike Beirut tonight from New York, destroying several apartment
[00:57:05] buildings, ordering US-funded war crimes from US soil right after giving a speech to the
[00:57:10] United Nations about how Israel yearns for peace. Like, it's, it's, he is, like Benjamin
[00:57:18] Even Netanyahu is almost like an Osama Bin Laden-like figure in terms of like destroying or showing
[00:57:26] to the world like the ways in which the international rule-based order is a complete lie.
[00:57:34] There is no bigger flex, there is no bigger demonstration of this lie than that.
[00:57:41] You're on American soil, you're using American weapons, you're using American targeting
[00:57:45] systems, American surveillance to drop American munitions on a sovereign nation in the midst
[00:57:53] of the United Nations meetings happening where you deliver the speech about how you yearn
[00:57:59] for freedom. Okay. That's it. When America says, Oh my God, how are they doing this?
[00:58:07] What are we supposed to do? We're just trying to stop Israel from behaving this
[00:58:11] way it's like dude you're not you're not trying to stop Israel from behaving this way you love
[00:58:16] it you love the death and destruction you fund it you facilitate it you support it you give the
[00:58:22] fucking weapons you give the surveillance to Israel okay and you give the protected shield
[00:58:29] the protective shield of of expending your own personal capital as a global hegemonic superpower
[00:58:36] On the main stage, when you defend Israel on a regular basis at the Security Council,
[00:58:41] you defend Israel on the General Assembly, there is no clear indication that things cannot
[00:58:51] continue the way that they have, especially with America on its last leg, okay, on its last leg,
[00:58:59] funding and facilitating this obvious genocide.
[00:59:02] The word from Prime Minister Netanyahu's office in Jerusalem is that
[00:59:05] He will head back to Israel tonight as we are watching images of absolute
[00:59:14] Even America, bro. I am dude. I don't think you are though
[00:59:19] Because being pro-Israel does not mean you're a pro-america
[00:59:23] I I would say I would say
[00:59:26] That my commentary on this is more pro-america than like 99 of our politicians. Okay
[00:59:33] I don't think that we should allow a sovereign nation, right, a foreign nation to just engage
[00:59:43] in bloody hell, in death and destruction, funded by our taxpayer dollars, okay?
[00:59:49] I don't think that that is appropriate.
[00:59:51] I think that that is unimaginably un-American, okay?
[00:59:54] If there is any sort of like principle behind like being an American and wanting America
[00:59:59] to be the world police and be the good guys in every story, then this demonstrates
[01:00:03] that we are the bad guys in this fucking story. Okay. This is precisely the reason why there
[01:00:11] are people in the fucking State Department that don't even agree with the Biden camp
[01:00:16] and Anthony Blinken and the way that they are continuing on giving Israel free reign
[01:00:21] to behave in the ways that it is. Okay. Because they also recognize that obviously
[01:00:28] this is diminishing America's soft power capabilities. It's cooked. The world stage
[01:00:34] is cooked all of the organs of in the international organs of justice that you normally could use
[01:00:39] tirelessly against your foreign adversaries to get them to fucking do the right thing
[01:00:44] or whatever and apply like you know deploy sanctions packages or whatever all of that
[01:00:49] is cast aside in the circumstance because everyone goes the fuck do you mean you hate Russia
[01:00:55] the fuck do you mean what do you mean that Russia is doing wrong things here look at
[01:01:00] what you're fucking doing in Gaza. Look at what you're doing in Beirut. That's it. And
[01:01:07] for a lot of people, that's how they see it. All of a sudden, like I keep repeating over
[01:01:12] and over again, 800 military bases around the world will look like 800 military occupations
[01:01:19] around the world. If America's soft power capabilities go away, it no longer will
[01:01:24] be a military partnership and a firm commitment and an allegiance to the United States of
[01:01:28] America in terms of keeping global security, it all of a sudden becomes an active invasion.
[01:01:34] Okay. And America, no other country, as a matter of fact, and certainly not the United States
[01:01:39] of America has the power to conduct 800 different invasions in the same fucking time
[01:01:45] at the same time. Okay. This is why America's soft power capabilities actually help its
[01:01:53] military might
[01:01:54] okay
[01:01:57] you understand angry panda
[01:02:01] probably not
[01:02:09] dot park
[01:02:10] got to protect national interest you i just described to you
[01:02:13] from a pro-state department pro america position
[01:02:17] why allowing israel the rain fucking bloody terror in the region
[01:02:21] is genuinely diminishing america's national interest on the global stage
[01:02:26] so you're wrong
[01:02:27] you just said that because that's a thing you've heard
[01:02:29] you've never actually analyze what that means
[01:02:32] You never actually thought about what that means because if you had actually put some thought into it you would recognize that America's undying loyalty to the state of Israel in apartheid state that is currently actively committing genocide and has started a new front in another sovereign nation in its end seed.
[01:02:47] And the way that it's analyzed from the rest of the fucking world including our Western European allies
[01:02:53] This is even more significant than just like the global south the global south
[01:02:56] There's always had a distaste for American Empire for obvious reasons, but now
[01:03:00] Now you even have Western European allegiances on shaky ground
[01:03:06] if you don't think that this is a genuine
[01:03:12] Genuinely devastating misstep
[01:03:14] You just got to wait till Trump says it and then you'll repeat it when Trump goes around and says they ruined our partnerships
[01:03:21] They said I was bad. They said the world laughed at me, but the world laughed at them
[01:03:26] now look
[01:03:28] England is going against our wills. They're not even giving money to Israel. They're not giving weapons to Israel
[01:03:34] And then you'll repeat it and you'll be like hell. Yeah, he's right peaceful dove, baby
[01:03:38] Anyway, let's continue destruction unfold
[01:03:53] from the side of the blast that if you look at just behind me you may be able to
[01:03:57] see the haze in the distance that is the smoke still rising the smoke and dust
[01:04:02] still rising from that scene after a series of of blasts we felt and and
[01:04:08] heard one of them today Kira it was the without a doubt the largest and most
[01:04:14] powerful blasts we have felt this week and this will mark the fifth strike
[01:04:18] on Dakhia, the southern suburb of Beirut, the Hezbollah stronghold, the fifth strike
[01:04:24] just this week. And as you reported, we understand, according to the IDF, that the
[01:04:30] target was Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Hezbollah, but you
[01:04:34] look at the devastation there. And we are talking about several buildings that
[01:04:39] have been severely damaged, flattened according to reports, and so we are
[01:04:44] talking about scores of casualties. Right now we're waiting for word I've reached
[01:04:49] out to the health ministry here and we're waiting to get the initial report
[01:04:52] but I can tell you Kira in our time that we spent in Dahia it is a densely
[01:04:57] populated area not only with shops but also homes and the fact that you have
[01:05:03] several buildings that have been absolutely destroyed we can anticipate
[01:05:08] that the numbers will be quite high. Right now as you mentioned we don't
[01:05:13] know if Nasrallah is alive or dead. Israel saying that they targeted him.
[01:05:18] Every member of Hezbollah, ISIS in the Taliban deserve death. They rape, pillage, and suppress.
[01:05:22] Israel deserves protection. That's cool. It's kind of interesting that you just like mentioned
[01:05:27] Hezbollah alongside ISIS and the Taliban, right? You said that you're issuing the death penalty
[01:05:34] on all of them. And then the reasoning that you mentioned for why they are worthy of the
[01:05:39] the death penalty, okay? You did not suspiciously mention Israel, okay? But the reasons that
[01:05:47] you mentioned as to why they all deserve the death penalty are things that Israel also
[01:05:52] does, things that Israel has actually systematized, serialized, does on a regular fucking basis
[01:05:57] in broad fucking daylight with full blown American support. So that's really interesting
[01:06:02] that you have this dynamic where you're like, well, Hezbollah deserves death, they
[01:06:05] rape they pillage and suppress. When in fact, one, Hezbollah and ISIS are nowhere near as
[01:06:13] nowhere near comparable. As a matter of fact, ISIS and Israel are significantly closer in both
[01:06:19] utilizing and bastardizing religion as a way to fucking justify their actions and also destroying
[01:06:26] fucking cultural monuments, cultural world artifacts on a regular fucking basis and doing
[01:06:32] Unlimited acts of terror, okay? In terms of like in terms of this this
[01:06:42] This similarity between Hezbollah ice in the Taliban it just demonstrates that you think oh, they're Muslim
[01:06:47] So they're the same when in fact if you look at the situation
[01:06:51] Israel is infinitely closer to ISIS and has actually aligned with ISIS in Syria as a matter of fact is treated ISIS fighters
[01:06:58] giving them medical help. Israel deserves protection. No innocents deserve death and killing terrorist
[01:07:12] leadership never really does anything. They're not competent leaders. Therefore,
[01:07:15] they're always easily replaced as a tough situation. It's not a tough situation, okay?
[01:07:20] It is as close to black and white as you can get. Yes, Israel armed al-Nusra, Israel gave
[01:07:32] medical treatment to ISIS fighters. The idea that it's actually Hamas,
[01:07:39] or Hezbollah that is closest to ISIS is fucking ridiculous.
[01:07:43] You just think, oh, they're all Muslims.
[01:07:44] So they're the same.
[01:07:49] There's been no confirmation from Hezbollah
[01:07:51] that he was even in that area.
[01:07:53] And so we'll have to wait for word on that, Kara.
[01:07:56] And clearly, Mick, we're getting, you know,
[01:07:59] there's other foreign news agencies like, you know,
[01:08:02] the Saudi press is reporting that Nasrallah has not
[01:08:04] been killed, but still we don't have any confirmation.
[01:08:08] And there aren't any media outlets here in the US
[01:08:11] reporting whether he was killed or not. But if indeed he was, how could this change just
[01:08:19] the dynamic of the widening war that we've been witnessing? There's been tremendous concern
[01:08:27] that this could just keep getting worse and worse. If indeed he's been taken out, how
[01:08:31] can that impact what we're seeing now in the Middle East?
[01:08:34] So, Kara, this would be a substantial blow to Hezbollah, and Israel has been the Secretary
[01:08:41] General since 1992, and is revered by that organization.
[01:08:45] So it would mark, of course, a substantial escalation going in the opposite direction
[01:08:50] of where the U.S. had hoped to go with the 21-day ceasefire, and it really does put
[01:08:54] an emphasis to that as not where Israel intends to go with this conflict in Lebanon.
[01:09:01] I, it's important to point out that most of the facilities of Hezbollah are subterranean.
[01:09:07] So they build stuff under civilian areas, trying to essentially protect themselves that it might
[01:09:11] have been multiple from New York times, four minutes ago, Iran's supreme leader, Alatollah
[01:09:16] Ali, Ayatollah Ali Khomeini has called an emergency meeting in the Supreme national
[01:09:20] security council of this home compound, according to Iranian physical knowledge of the meeting.
[01:09:23] They said the meeting was in response to Israel strike in Beirut that targeted the
[01:09:26] leader of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah.
[01:09:28] Like, just so you understand, it would be what Israel did to the principal negotiator in the ceasefire agreement would be like if Iran was able to successfully blow up, if Iran was able to successfully explode the fucking hotel room that Benjamin Netanyahu is in, okay?
[01:09:51] In the United States of America soil.
[01:09:54] And, of course, that's like unimaginable that would never happen.
[01:09:59] And what they're doing here what they're justifying here is like if once again, like Iran blew up
[01:10:08] Israeli politicians like exploded real positive through the missile strike in the middle of fucking Tel Aviv or again in the middle of New York as a matter of fact
[01:10:19] bombs the first
[01:10:20] To clear out the buildings and then the second to actually penetrate
[01:10:24] to the sub-Duranian space and potentially take out Nusrah. I think we'll, it will have
[01:10:29] to wait a while to see if he was actually killed in this. Early reports are likely not accurate
[01:10:36] and not informed.
[01:10:37] I don't know that anybody's actually gotten down to see where the fuck is the rest of
[01:10:40] the era world, bro. They have nothing. Okay. They have nothing. One in terms of like Hezbollah
[01:10:45] in terms of, you know, Iran, a lot of the other fucking Arab countries don't like
[01:10:50] either of these parties anyway. They don't like Hezbollah. They don't like, uh, and they
[01:10:54] certainly do not like Iran regardless. We're talking about the governance structures in
[01:10:59] all of these Arab nations. Okay. So that's number one. Number two, they have fucking
[01:11:04] fat military contracts with the United States of America. Their job, especially if you're
[01:11:09] talking about like the golf regions, the golf States, their job is to basically maintain
[01:11:16] a critical posture against Israel, so that they don't get fucking assassinated by their
[01:11:21] own population.
[01:11:23] That's it.
[01:11:24] Their job simply is to sit back and be like, Israel, don't do that.
[01:11:28] That's really messed up while they get weapons contracts from the United States of America
[01:11:33] and continue dealing with Israel in the exact same fucking ways they dealt with Israel.
[01:11:38] Because the fuck are they supposed to do?
[01:11:39] They got nothing anyway.
[01:11:42] Their entire military is American deer.
[01:11:45] Okay?
[01:11:46] entire surveillance capabilities come from the United States of America. They're targeting
[01:11:49] systems come from the United States of America. They got nothing. They are all hollowed out
[01:11:56] vassal states. So obviously in terms of the governance structure in these countries, their
[01:12:01] entire purpose is to just make sure that their population does not fucking rise up
[01:12:07] against them and overthrow them in a bloody coup or something because, you know, they
[01:12:11] go, enough is enough. What you're doing is unacceptable. That's it. That's their entire
[01:12:16] job. Okay. And if you, if you look at like Lebanon or if you look at fucking Jordan,
[01:12:23] for example, these are direct like byproducts of, of, uh, Western colonialism. These are
[01:12:29] vestiges of Western colonialism. These are not like countries that were well-defined.
[01:12:34] It was literally fucking places that they carved out and specifically gave in the case
[01:12:40] of Lebanon to a very diverse, multi-ethnic and multi-religious people that were living
[01:12:47] there.
[01:12:48] Okay?
[01:12:49] In the case of Jordan, they just like handed it off to fucking, you know, the British Empire,
[01:12:55] basically.
[01:12:59] They're all, you might as well analyze Lebanon and especially, like Lebanon and also especially
[01:13:06] Jordan as simply holding grounds until Israel takes it over. Okay? That's it. Like from the
[01:13:14] eyes of Western colonialists, the way they analyze it is just like one day Israel will
[01:13:20] take it all. And then we'll have a true peace. Okay? You know, Israel is an evil piece of
[01:13:37] shit. So I won't shed any tears of these dead, but fucking hell, Israel is just doing
[01:13:40] continuous terrorist attacks and we're aiding and abetting them to the fullest extent
[01:13:42] be being Biden both belong in the Hague. Yeah, it's just like, okay, like the thing I don't
[01:13:48] understand is people say this stuff, but they don't recognize that like this right here is
[01:13:54] the justification that Israel is using. So I don't know why you're so mad at like Benjamin
[01:13:58] Ninyahu and also, uh, Joseph Robin at Brandon and say that they belong in the Hague because
[01:14:03] when you say like, yeah, Hassan Nasrallah is an evil piece of shit. I hope he's
[01:14:07] All you've done is basically give legitimacy give an air of credence to why Israel targeted this fucking crowded neighborhood in Beirut
[01:14:16] Okay
[01:14:18] That's it like you without recognizing it are basically
[01:14:22] Reasserting the Israeli position. That's all you have done
[01:14:26] Here is N12 news and 12 news is Dana Weiss
[01:14:32] Israeli official says Israel is going to war
[01:14:35] And we already covered this, but yeah, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called
[01:14:42] an emergency meeting of the Supreme National Security Council.
[01:14:45] As far as we know, as far as we know currently, we do not know if Hassan Nasrallah is dead.
[01:14:50] There is no confirmation thus far from the Hezbollah side.
[01:14:54] There's only confirmation, as a matter of fact, from the Israeli side.
[01:14:58] And I will wait, as always, to hear from the axis of resistance or any kind of like official
[01:15:07] statement from their side to get this actual confirmation on whether or not it was correct.
[01:15:14] Jeremy Scales says, there's intense focus on the fate of Mazzarala right now.
[01:15:20] These were massive American bombs, Israel dropped a density populated residential area in Beirut,
[01:15:24] and we still have no sense of how many people died.
[01:15:26] It's going to be a very large number.
[01:15:28] The US in multiple ways has enabled Israel to promote a doctrine that Israel is allowed
[01:15:31] to kill as many civilians with US weapons as it wishes with impunity in the name of self-defense
[01:15:36] in air quotes or killing the terrorists in air quotes.
[01:15:41] That's it.
[01:15:45] Axis of resistance?
[01:15:46] Yes.
[01:15:47] Axis of resistance is like Hezbollah, Ansarallah, all of the fucking regional actors, whether
[01:15:52] they are standing paramilitaries or complete fucking, you know, nation states with
[01:15:57] their own with their own actual standing militaries that are aligned against western imperialism
[01:16:04] in the region, you know, allowing the people who desire to kill terrorists to define what
[01:16:23] a terrorist means is like letting a rapist define consent. Yeah, that's actually a good
[01:16:27] take right about that. Good and evil child terminology. Yeah, it's just like it's very,
[01:17:06] very frustrating. Israel confirms he's dead. Yes, but Israel confirms fucking Yahya
[01:17:17] in war is dead every other week okay like it doesn't it's until there is like confirmation from the
[01:17:24] other side it doesn't fucking mean anything once again this is the iranian embassy uh saying once
[01:17:29] again the israeli regime is committing a bloody massacre targeting density populated residential
[01:17:33] neighborhoods issuing false justifications and attempt to cover up its brutal crime and cover
[01:17:37] the skies with domes there is no doubt that this reprehensible crime and reckless behavior
[01:17:41] represents a serious escalation that changes the rules of the game and that its perpetrator
[01:17:45] will be punished appropriately and disciplined. Iran says this shit on a daily basis, but like,
[01:17:49] let's be real, they are, uh, you know, they're incredibly restrained almost to a fucking fault
[01:17:56] at this, uh, at this point of Israel is never going to respond. Uh, Israel is never going
[01:18:00] to respond to diplomacy. They have demonstrated that time and time again. They see diplomacy
[01:18:05] as weakness. They see it as cowardice. They see it as like a go ahead to do more and more
[01:18:10] violence. So yeah, but once again, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Higari says
[01:18:24] the precise strike on a central headquarter of Hezbollah which was
[01:18:26] intentionally built under residential buildings in Beirut in order to use them
[01:18:30] as human shields. That's interesting. IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv is walking
[01:18:33] distance to a hospital, markets, theaters, etc. Okay, but you obviously don't
[01:18:41] consider that to be a fucking, uh, you know, human shield situation. That's it. That's it. That's
[01:18:47] literally it. A precise targeting of like, uh, the Israeli Knesset or the idea of headquarters
[01:18:55] would not be considered an, uh, you know, a normal justifiable, uh, self retaliation
[01:19:02] of a sovereign nation demonstrating its sovereignty. Right. No, it's actually a really good
[01:19:28] point I've talked about this many times over it doesn't even it doesn't even matter to most people
[01:19:33] that's the as the problem that's why I don't even bring it up because people don't fucking care
[01:19:38] because a lot of this a lot of this attitude revolves around might is right okay that's it
[01:19:46] that's it might is right Israel has the capabilities to do this Israel can do this no
[01:19:52] one no Israel's enemies cannot and that's it and not only does it not matter if they actually
[01:20:13] successfully assassinated Hassan Nasrallah, okay? It doesn't fucking matter. We don't know if that
[01:20:20] actually happened, but even if it did, it doesn't, it still doesn't matter. It doesn't change the
[01:20:25] dynamic, okay? It doesn't change the mindset of people that watch their fucking families rip the
[01:20:32] part that after literally seek through the rubble to see if their fucking baby in a cradle is
[01:20:37] still there, okay? But those people are still going to hate Israel. You understand?
[01:20:44] Like, assassinating or decapitating the leadership does not change the dynamic at all. Someone else
[01:20:49] will take their place because ultimately this is still a war of emancipation for many people, okay?
[01:21:02] What the devastation and the damage that has been done.
[01:21:05] All right. And, um, of course, as we try and work to confirm, uh, if indeed in Israel is
[01:21:12] dead or alive. Um, I'm assuming we could probably, uh, this is precisely the reason why I don't
[01:21:18] make the fucking argument. I mean, the dynamics a little different in like a place like Russia,
[01:21:22] right? The dynamics a little different because there's like unitary, uh, executive, uh,
[01:21:28] on principle, it's just like one singular force that has a lot of control over what's
[01:21:33] going on, right? The ambitions of one man, uh, can, can lead entire armies in the, in the
[01:21:40] case for like Russia, for example. Um, having said that, however, I don't make the same argument
[01:21:46] for fucking Benjamin Netanyahu. It's not like if Benjamin Netanyahu was assassinated
[01:21:51] that Israel would stop. That's why I make the argument that America has to use its
[01:21:55] levers of control in the circumstance to put Israel, uh, to terrain in Israel. Okay,
[01:22:02] He put Israel in its place to tell him to fucking dial it back because without that level
[01:22:08] of control without that lever of power it doesn't matter if Benjamin Nile is dead there's
[01:22:11] going to be another fucking freak that takes his place.
[01:22:15] What has to happen is the large partner in this coalition telling them to dial it the
[01:22:20] fuck back.
[01:22:23] That's it.
[01:22:24] Joseph 33, thank you for the 10 gift subs.
[01:22:27] You really think Putin's dead will just stop Russia fuck Putin?
[01:22:31] I don't, I think Putin's death would not stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
[01:22:35] It would just like destroy Russia because Russia is so single-handedly controlled by an individual.
[01:22:42] Like there's no alternative and for so long that it would collapse Russia in its entirety.
[01:22:49] It would be devastating.
[01:22:50] It would be like post-dissolution of USSR one more time.
[01:22:55] It would be, it would literally be the second, like, you know, all the child prostitution rates
[01:23:01] and stuff that people love to point to in the dissolution of the USSR and the aftermath
[01:23:05] of what happened in the Cold War, it would be like that. I don't think so, to be honest.
[01:23:12] There is no alternative mechanism in place. There's not even a fucking mechanism of like,
[01:23:18] of what happens in the aftermath of Putin's demise, whether untimely or, you know, likely
[01:23:24] demise as a consequence of old age. Anyway, I don't know why we're talking about Putin.
[01:23:29] It doesn't fucking matter, but it's just, yeah, this person says, I really need someone
[01:23:41] to explain to me how bombing six tower blocks in Beirut is different from bombing the twin
[01:23:44] towers like how new Israeli defensive visuals estimate that some 300 people were killed
[01:24:07] in the Israeli strike on Beirut, according to Haaretz.
[01:24:10] Nice.
[01:24:11] So it's probably more than that, but think about it.
[01:24:20] If they killed 300 civilians and got Hasan Nasrallah, that's a 300 to one.
[01:24:25] Is that justifiable?
[01:24:27] I don't think so. I don't think so. Of course, it's not justifiable. The ratio approved for
[01:25:17] the bin Laden rate was something like 31. Yeah.
[01:25:19] I was on one in Yahuas, like our wars with Hezbollah and other people of Lebanon, as
[01:25:30] I'm assuming you show them bombing Beirut, my dad laugh, like how people buy this propaganda
[01:25:33] is beyond me. I mean, I think it's because like a lot of people in Lebanon as well are
[01:25:38] not exactly fans of Hezbollah. Okay. Once again, I repeat the position that Lebanon
[01:25:44] is a very diverse country in terms of like ethnic background, but more importantly than
[01:25:48] ethnic background in terms of religion, okay? You got Sunni Muslims, you have Christian people
[01:25:56] in Lebanon. There are a lot of people in Lebanon that are not fond of Hezbollah, understandably so.
[01:26:03] Having said that, however, it still doesn't give righteous cause to fucking blow up
[01:26:08] six goddamn buildings in the middle of bay root it's fucking ridiculous okay it's ridiculous
[01:26:23] expect some type of of retaliation so it's a more to follow mc marcus thank you both so much
[01:26:29] update now this coming to us from the Reuters news agency that has bought a secretary general
[01:26:35] hassan asrallah is alive this is the Reuters news agency citing a source close to his
[01:26:41] that Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah is alive.
[01:26:45] Now, this is important because all we have had
[01:26:49] from the Israeli statement is that this was a precision strike.
[01:26:54] That's how they've described it,
[01:26:55] but they didn't mention specifically
[01:26:58] who was being targeted.
[01:27:00] We have had several targeted assassinations
[01:27:03] over the course of many weeks and many months.
[01:27:05] In fact, there was one just earlier this week
[01:27:08] in the same area, in Dahia, that targeted the head of Hezbollah's drone unit.
[01:27:15] And there were several missiles fired during the course of that attack.
[01:27:20] But it is very important that there is this statement now from the Reuters agency, citing
[01:27:25] a source post to Hezbollah that the Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah is alive.
[01:27:29] Oh, Israel had targeted Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a massive blast in the
[01:27:35] capital of Lebanon, in Beirut.
[01:27:38] I want to go to my colleague, Jimana Karachi, who has been following this story for us.
[01:27:42] Jimana, it was your initial reporting and your headlines internally here at CNN that
[01:27:47] caught our attention over an hour ago now when you were reporting massive blasts.
[01:27:52] Tell us now what we know.
[01:27:54] Well, I wouldn't Israel say he is dead.
[01:27:58] Imagine doing the strike and saying the target wasn't there.
[01:27:59] Oh, yeah.
[01:28:00] Oh, Bob, I did that.
[01:28:01] Yeah.
[01:28:02] That's it.
[01:28:03] That's like, um, holy fuck.
[01:28:07] It's just like I don't agree with the strike on
[01:28:19] The fundamental principle that you cannot fucking blow up entire city blocks to get the one fucking guy to begin with
[01:28:27] Okay, but even but even
[01:28:30] But there is also the alternative here the likelihood that they didn't even get him. Okay, if your
[01:28:39] analysis is like
[01:28:40] 300 to 1 if your ratio is
[01:28:43] is 300 to one, okay?
[01:28:45] Then October 7th cannot be considered an act of terror.
[01:28:49] If you consider 300 people being ruthlessly slaughtered
[01:28:56] with 5,000, 2,000 pound munitions, American weapons,
[01:29:00] and surveillance capabilities that we are using,
[01:29:02] if you consider that to be adequate
[01:29:05] for one fucking guy, that civilian
[01:29:07] to enemy combatant ratio is adequate for you.
[01:29:10] then October 7 is not cannot even be fucking declared an active terror in that regard when
[01:29:21] you look at the fucking percentage of enemy combatants that were assassinated killed on
[01:29:26] October 7 versus the civilian numbers the ratios favor Hamas and the Palestinian resistance
[01:29:33] every single time it ratios babe it ratio I mean sorry it favors the Palestinian
[01:29:39] resistance in terms of October 7 versus what Israel has done in Gaza, and it's
[01:29:44] certainly fucking favors tenfold in this circumstance. Okay? It's ridiculous. It is
[01:29:54] ridiculous. Oh, six buildings leveled. The casualty numbers are just coming in.
[01:30:00] What are you seeing and hearing? Well, as you mentioned, Biana, we've just heard
[01:30:07] from the Ministry of Health that at least two people were killed, seven to
[01:30:11] were injured in those massive blasts that targeted Beirut's southern suburbs, as we understand,
[01:30:18] of course, from the Israeli military, the target of those strikes was the leader.
[01:30:25] They say it was a command center, but what we understand from my colleague Jeremy Diamond,
[01:30:29] according to a security official, a senior Israeli official, that the target was the
[01:30:35] leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah. And that is the big question right now. What if
[01:30:41] Nasrallah was there, if Nasrallah survived? We understand from the senior Israeli official
[01:30:46] that the Israeli military is working to verify that you would have a post-strike assessment.
[01:30:57] And that is still not clear. Nothing official from Hezbollah yet, nothing from the Lebanese
[01:31:04] government, but a senior security official telling my colleague, Tamara Kiblawi, when
[01:31:11] asked about Hassan Nasrullah and his status right now, he says, we were there for the
[01:31:17] record. I told you that this was going to happen after Gaza, right? Like the moment
[01:31:24] that Israel changed its trajectory towards Hezbollah and Lebanon in general. I told
[01:31:31] you that Western media was going to start using the exact same fucking terminology like to a
[01:31:38] T the exact same terminology. It's actually human shields. They're using human shields.
[01:31:46] Lebanon is using human shields. Anyone then across there's of Israel is always using human
[01:31:50] shields. Okay. And we just have to shoot through those human shields. There's nothing else
[01:31:53] we can do. The passive voice Western media does when it comes to Israel makes me feel
[01:32:24] like I'm going to eat get an ulcer. Yeah. It also makes me forget that at the top
[01:32:28] of the hour, there was a three minute outbreak and I forgot to run it so I'm running it now,
[01:32:31] okay? In the middle of the fucking hour. And if you no longer want to see those ads, all
[01:32:38] you need to do is subscribe for $4.20 until the end of this month of September or for
[01:32:46] free with the Twitch Prime, okay? Here's the three minute outbreak now. Yeah, they're
[01:33:12] They're flattening fucking uh, Dehiya, where the Dehiya doctrine comes from by the way,
[01:33:19] once again, and they're saying that they're doing it because they want to take care of
[01:33:24] Hezbollah, uh, they want to take care of the leadership structure of Hezbollah, and
[01:33:31] obviously no amount of terrorism that they engage in as is considered to be unacceptable
[01:33:38] and america has shown that to the rest of the world and will stand idly
[01:33:43] uh... on israel's side not even idly by actually will will
[01:33:47] voluntarily assist israel in this bloody campaign
[01:33:51] wait and the whole country right now is on edge as it waits
[01:33:55] for news whether the uh... leader of his will have some of the law was indeed
[01:34:01] in that location
[01:34:03] in that's densely populated parts
[01:34:06] of Beirut in the southern suburbs, if he survived, if he was injured, all these questions right
[01:34:12] now, putting this entire country on edge, a dangerous escalation, Biana doesn't begin
[01:34:18] to describe the situation right now.
[01:34:21] Yeah, as we've been seeing things escalate quite quickly, even prior to this targeted
[01:34:26] assassination of Hassan Nasrallah by the Israelis.
[01:34:29] We've seen hundreds of those killed in Lebanon over the past week and a half.
[01:34:35] Hezbollah launching a ballistic missile that was successfully thwarted in Israel again.
[01:34:43] Everyone, really on Knife's Edge here, and as many of our guests have already said, many,
[01:34:48] many red lines have already been crossed here.
[01:34:51] Jemana Karachi, thank you so much.
[01:34:53] Keep us posted on any developments you hear.
[01:34:55] Let's go to Israel, and our Nick Robertson is in Tel Aviv, and Nick, the United States
[01:35:01] It's responding, saying that they were not involved in any way, shape, or form in this
[01:35:06] targeted assassination of Hassan Nasrallah and that they were given a heads-up or notification,
[01:35:14] the defense minister telling his counterpart here in the United States, Defense Secretary
[01:35:20] Austin, as this operation was underway.
[01:35:23] Any new information that you're hearing now from the IDF over the course of the last
[01:35:28] hour since we heard from Rear Admiral Higari?
[01:35:31] No, what we know is that the Defence Minister has been sitting in one of the command centres
[01:35:41] with other commanders around him, analysing what's happening in Beirut, analysing all
[01:35:46] the information streams that they have access to, to try to figure out precisely what has
[01:35:51] happened.
[01:35:52] And while we're talking about this, I'm reminded of a conversation I had with an official
[01:35:57] earlier this week about the possibility as all these different Hezbollah commanders were
[01:36:03] being assassinated in the suburbs of Beirut. I asked the sort of obvious question, well,
[01:36:12] would Hassan Nasrallah be on that target list? And I was sort of given the impression
[01:36:18] that that may or may not be the case. It wasn't clear. But the impression I took
[01:36:25] away from the conversation that I was having was, well, what happens if you remove Hassan
[01:36:32] Mastralla? Who do you get in his place? What, who picks up? Is it somebody more radical and
[01:36:40] remembering that Hassan Mastralla is not a military commander per se. He has all those
[01:36:45] military commanders underneath of him. He's more of a sort of a figurehead, a leader.
[01:36:51] command absolutely the top of you know the top person within Hezbollah no doubt
[01:36:57] about his authority but when he says I want this done I want this done I want
[01:37:01] this done it's the commanders the military commanders underneath of him
[01:37:05] who realize that so therefore the question becomes what happens if you
[01:37:11] remove him it's not going to stop the organization functioning although
[01:37:16] clearly the organization is absolutely on the back foot it's been decimated in many ways commander
[01:37:23] me he's right it doesn't stop it doesn't there is no there is no military solution to these
[01:37:28] to these issues okay just like there's no military solution to Hamas there's no military
[01:37:33] solution to Hezbollah either okay that's it that's it and Israel knows that they just don't
[01:37:41] don't give a shit, okay? They just use the military solution as a justification for doing
[01:37:48] death and destruction, dealing death and destruction. And it's wild that they do not even mention
[01:37:56] this as anything but a successful, targeted, precise military strike. They don't mention
[01:38:02] six buildings demolished. They don't mention the hundreds of civilians that are under
[01:38:08] the rubble right now. Nothing. It's crazy. It is a complete abdication of responsibility.
[01:38:17] It is a, it, there's, this is not journalism at all. Okay. It's ridiculous.
[01:38:28] In control, leaders remove the pager attacks them, the walkie-talkie attacks. All of that
[01:38:34] has really put Hezbollah on the back foot. And this, if it is, has, if Hassan Nasrallah
[01:38:41] is dead, it puts them even further on the back foot. But the question does become, what
[01:38:48] sort of person inherits the leadership of Hezbollah? What sort of decisions would they take? Will
[01:38:55] they become more aggressive in their position towards Israel, where Nasrallah has been
[01:39:01] cautious in the past about not escalating, about sort of keeping the movement and the
[01:39:07] organization of Hezbollah together, not allowing Israel to draw it into a greater fight, if
[01:39:16] you will, by not responding to escalations, previous escalations, with their own overwhelming
[01:39:22] escalation towards Israel staying out of that.
[01:39:24] Is that the sort of leader that you get in his place?
[01:39:27] Look, it is frankly too soon in a way to be discussing this.
[01:39:32] These will have been the discussions prior that went into whether or not to target the
[01:39:39] leader of Hezbollah, and clearly a decision was taken to target him on the belief that
[01:39:45] that was going to further Israel's efforts to move Hezbollah off the border, where they
[01:39:51] threatened the civilians in the north of Israel, and that the assessment was clearly
[01:39:56] that this is the right course of action.
[01:40:00] Israel could be proved wrong in this case. There could be a much wilder card
[01:40:06] that takes over in leading Hezbollah and that could lead to a
[01:40:12] much harder to predict type of escalation and fight. Nevertheless, that
[01:40:18] is where we are at the moment and of course if Hassan Nasrallah has survived
[01:40:23] then what decision set is he going to take now based on this? How will he respond
[01:40:31] to an attempt to take his life? Will it be personal? Will it escalate or will or
[01:40:37] will he not? Prior to this attempted assassination we had heard from the IDF
[01:40:43] Chief of Staff, Herzegh Levy, earlier this week say that they are prepared
[01:40:48] when that call is made for a potential land invasion into southern Lebanon there.
[01:40:55] And we're also hearing and reporting now that Prime Minister Netanyahu has cut short his trip to the United States
[01:41:01] and is on his way back to Israel right now upon news of this massive strike, the target being Hassan Nasrallah himself.
[01:41:09] Nick Robertson, thank you.
[01:41:11] I want to go to Naby Boulos, who is the Middle East bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times.
[01:41:15] he just visited the site of that explosion in Beirut. He joins us by phone. And Abhi,
[01:41:21] thank you so much for taking the time to call us. Tell us what you saw there.
[01:41:26] Well, I mean, it was just a huge, huge site. Just the attack site was really, I think it's not
[01:41:32] fixed building as well. Well, Nazarela taking an attempt on his life personal. No, none of these
[01:41:37] things are, there is no individualism in this circumstance. I think people need to understand
[01:41:42] that okay there are national motivations there are nationalist motivations but overall the moment
[01:41:50] that you hyper individualized people's interest in this conflict is the moment that you lose sight of
[01:41:56] what's going on okay like these are these are people who are hell bent on fighting against
[01:42:06] western imperialism in the region tooth and fucking nail okay they don't give a shit about
[01:42:11] their own personal ambitions in this circumstance. People always try to personalize it and try to make
[01:42:17] it seem as though like, oh Yahya Sinwar will escape if Israel gives him, you know, reason to leave the
[01:42:23] Gaza ship. It's like, no, he fucking won't. And I think Israelis, Israeli officials in the
[01:42:29] intelligence community understand that they won't. They're just simply saying that so that
[01:42:33] they can make a point about like the personal ambitions of these leaders. Because that
[01:42:40] is completely at odds with the other assessment that more reasonable minds within the Israeli
[01:42:45] military apparatus come to the conclusion on, which is that Hamas is not something that you
[01:42:51] can deal with militarily. Okay? For these people, for these people, it's not like, oh, they attacked
[01:43:06] me. Like, they, they already live under a permanent threat from American and Israeli
[01:43:14] military invasion, American and Israeli military action against their lives.
[01:43:20] I get it's not a thing. It's not a thing that they're like. It's not a thing that changes the
[01:43:25] calculation at all. Has Israel claimed responsibility for the pages? Yes. They, I mean, come on.
[01:43:44] Well, I've heard, but we only saw a part of it to be honest with you. And it was, I mean,
[01:43:49] it was like, it was basically just overturned. I mean, you had no sense that they were building
[01:43:54] there was mostly just dirt had sort of flipped around as the ground itself had turned over
[01:43:58] upside down.
[01:43:59] And on one side of it, you know, you could see almost like a almost like a crevice in
[01:44:04] the ground where a tree had fallen and the sort of front edge of the building had been
[01:44:11] torn off.
[01:44:12] I mean, kind of scale of destruction is just really hard to describe because it was
[01:44:15] so much.
[01:44:16] And right now, I mean, they're just thinking through we're hearing the initial reports
[01:44:20] of 76 wounded.
[01:44:21] But of course, I mean, I'm sure that's going to be much, much, much more because, you know,
[01:44:24] they're still looking for the rubble and they will almost certainly have many people.
[01:44:27] I should be clear.
[01:44:28] This is a very, very popular.
[01:44:29] Yeah.
[01:44:30] Listen to it.
[01:44:31] Listen to how shook he is.
[01:44:33] The correspondent that is like near the fucking impact zone versus like whenever you hear
[01:44:39] from a journalist in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv and the way that they are confident
[01:44:44] in their coverage and don't feel even remotely scared is right now understandably if
[01:44:50] If you live in Lebanon, if you live in Beirut, you're fucking terrified because Israel has
[01:44:55] shown time and time again that they don't give a fuck about human beings on the opposite
[01:45:01] side.
[01:45:02] They don't care.
[01:45:03] They will just fucking, they will lay down death and destruction at an unimaginable clip.
[01:45:10] Offer-related area.
[01:45:11] Yeah.
[01:45:12] In fact, right near it, there's a big refugee camp and everyone there was just leaving
[01:45:16] on months.
[01:45:17] big accidents from that refugee camp with people just escaping and digging all
[01:45:21] their stuff and finding anywhere else to go. Are there were you able to get close
[01:45:26] to the buildings themselves this targeted site as we know six buildings we've
[01:45:30] reported have been leveled by this how close to the area of destruction were
[01:45:35] you able to get? We were at the very edge of it I mean we were led you know
[01:45:41] Hizballah Khabreyskis in to see the area and we were led into the very
[01:45:44] edge of it where rescue crews were working. And you could see excavators being in the
[01:45:48] site, people going through it. Of course there was still a fire going on. But as I said,
[01:45:53] this was the edge of the site and it's quite large. So I mean it was, you know, at least
[01:45:57] the largest city block. So we didn't get a full view of the destruction as what it
[01:46:02] amounts to.
[01:46:03] Did you feel the blast yourself?
[01:46:05] No, but I heard it certainly. I mean I was home and I just heard a successive
[01:46:10] a number of successive booms, and they really shook the apartment.
[01:46:14] I went away, of course, and you could hear all the glass shaking in the house.
[01:46:18] It was quite different from other attacks that we've heard in Beirut.
[01:46:22] This one, it's been the big one.
[01:46:25] What is the Lebanese media?
[01:46:27] BBC correspondent was nearby and filmed the moment.
[01:46:30] Israeli jets just struck behind us, behind this school,
[01:46:46] It's a school that many families have fled from the bombardments in southern Lebanon.
[01:46:56] So we're just outside Dahir, which is Hezbollah's stronghold here in southern Beirut, not really
[01:47:01] far from the site of this attack.
[01:47:03] There is chaos, there is panic here, angry crowds just trying to leave Dahir.
[01:47:09] We've seen some families carrying bags, their belongings.
[01:47:13] tried to set up our position just outside the here.
[01:47:17] And then a group of men came and stopped us from filming that.
[01:47:21] So yeah, by the way, in response,
[01:47:23] at least 40 rockets reportedly have been launched from Lebanon
[01:47:25] with at least four settlements in South Ed and North Galilee.
[01:47:28] Do you think a regional war is inevitable?
[01:47:30] What's the best scenario right now?
[01:47:32] Yes, I think that regional war.
[01:47:38] I mean, Benjamin Nenyeahu has been telegraphing
[01:47:40] that this is what he wants to do for months.
[01:47:42] It's not like I'm fucking a brilliant tactician or anything that I with the gift of fucking foresight, I've been saying this for months and months and months and months that this was going to happen.
[01:47:58] It's already happening. I think there's so many fucking military movements in the region, American troops in the region.
[01:48:14] It is now a very tense situation here in southern Beirut. And again, another major escalation in this conflict.
[01:48:20] Oh, by the way, by the way, hold up, hold up.
[01:48:26] If you want to know our assessment of the situation, the U.S. Embassy is not evacuating
[01:48:30] U.S. citizens at this time.
[01:48:32] There is a commercially available flight that U.S. citizens who express interest in departing
[01:48:35] Lebanon will have to book and pay directly with the airline as of this morning from
[01:48:41] the U.S. Embassy in Beirut because it does not matter how many Americans get fucking
[01:48:46] killed by Israel.
[01:48:47] I need to reiterate this, okay?
[01:48:50] I told you this already.
[01:48:51] I fucking told you this, they do not care. Israel can fucking kill you, and we will do
[01:48:59] nothing about it, because you are now a part of the, you have now dropped down on your order
[01:49:09] of priority in the hierarchy of dual citizenship. You're down in the bottom of the ladder right
[01:49:17] next to the fucking Palestinians. You're still above them, but you're right next
[01:49:20] to them. Okay? And if you die in this situation, if you die in this situation, if Israel kills
[01:49:31] you, then you're also a part of the Hezbollah collateral damage. It is what it is. You know,
[01:49:51] American taxpayer funded bombs guided by American targeting destroyed. This is what
[01:50:38] the, sorry, you have reporting that the targeting was done by the U.S. At this point they could
[01:51:32] go kill protesters in America and the government will be like, well these things happen. No,
[01:51:35] absolutely, absolutely, when Benjamin Netanyahu comes to the United States of America and speaks to
[01:51:43] both parties in front of Congress and says, you have terrorists amongst your ranks,
[01:51:47] you have terrorists and people that are funded by terrorist regimes that are
[01:51:52] protesting on campuses against the big, beautiful nation of Israel. That is a threat.
[01:51:57] And perhaps maybe a promise of what's to come. 100%. Here is Ben Caspid.
[01:52:07] Current assessment, all the intelligence agencies are united in their opinion that he was there.
[01:52:11] All the performance research factors are united in their opinion that it is possible to get
[01:52:15] out of this place alive. As you can see the pictures on TV, what could have saved him?
[01:52:19] him. Am arranged for himself an inner bunker in his office, fortified, secured and sealed,
[01:52:23] a place that should be more immune than the bunker itself. Some leaders have arranged
[01:52:27] such places for themselves. We also have someone here who was minister of security and had
[01:52:31] such a safe in the office where you could find a safe haven. In one sentence, the
[01:52:36] assessment that Nasrallah was hurt, it will take time to get the final verification.
[01:52:40] According to foreign sources, an Iranian general, General Mahdavi's replacement, and
[01:52:44] Ali Karchi, who was rescued last time, were there with him. And what about Sanwar?
[01:52:48] This is how worldly fame passes.
[01:52:55] Oh, it's not, it's not a 100% certainty
[01:52:58] that he was assassinated in this bombing campaign.
[01:53:03] This is what the current assessment is.
[01:53:15] I will repeat this over and over again.
[01:53:17] America does not give a fuck about American citizens
[01:53:19] as long as Israel is killing them, okay?
[01:53:22] That's it.
[01:53:24] And I've, I mean,
[01:53:25] America does not give a fuck about American citizens.
[01:53:27] Even American military if Israel kills them.
[01:54:13] Families are flocking to the ERs asking about their loved ones, but the ERs are empty. There are no bodies to even bury.
[01:54:18] Because they're buried in the fucking rubble. They use bunker busters, dude.
[01:54:22] Sean called it a few weeks ago. USA will throw Americans to the wolves if it means helping Israel yet.
[01:54:53] Sean said, some people are mad at me for saying Biden would happily trade US lives for continued support for Israel's genocide.
[01:55:00] But that's not even a stretch. It's just already happening. In reality, the IDF can kill as many Americans as it likes, as far as the White House is concerned.
[01:55:08] Yeah, it's true, but like if you're more mad at him for saying this and then the and then world events prove this to be the reality, what do you do in that situation?
[01:55:22] Do you actually change your analysis or do you just lean into it further and find a different reasoning for why it was justifiable?
[01:55:30] And a lot of people do the second thing, they just dig their fucking heels in, you know?
[01:55:34] You know, do you think Israel will eventually go so far that they start to be fully isolated
[01:56:04] like apartheid South Africa?
[01:56:05] I mean, I hope.
[01:56:21] One thing people may be missing is why Lebanon, a complex nation-state, doesn't have an integrated
[01:56:24] air defense system or even smaller anti-air missile systems is because the U.S. led an
[01:56:28] effort to ban Lebanon forever having weapons like that.
[01:56:30] Yeah, they banned it because Hezbollah is there.
[01:56:32] A reminder that the awful bin Laden himself once claimed, as I watched the destroyed towers
[01:56:56] in Lebanon, it occurred to me to punish the unjust the same way and the destroyed
[01:57:01] towers in America, so it could taste some of what we are tasting and stop the killing
[01:57:04] of our children and women. Yeah. This is at the heart of blowback. This is what that principle
[01:57:10] is. Okay. Who knows who knows where this will go. It's a bold thing for Mehdi to say.
[01:57:32] I mean, it's the correct take in this circumstance. You can't keep pummeling fucking. You can't
[01:57:37] keep pummeling buildings killing civilians by the hundreds by the thousands and then
[01:57:41] expect no retaliation whatsoever. Like it's ridiculous dude. Why is it that you consider
[01:57:48] these people to be fucking servile? I'll tell you why. It's Western supremacist attitudes.
[01:57:53] That's it. That's it. That's literally all this is. The notion that these people are
[01:57:59] worthy of just death and destruction and they will never be able to, they will never
[01:58:04] be able to retaliate is a Western supremacist notion. It is white supremacy. The idea
[01:58:11] that like you can maintain chattel slavery as an institution and keep black people servile
[01:58:20] with no retaliation whatsoever is the exact same fundamental principle of the false notion
[01:58:27] that you can blow up entire city blocks in places like Lebanon, okay, with no expected
[01:58:35] retaliation whatsoever.
[01:58:37] What?
[01:58:50] The fact that the party has given no indication of Hassan Nasrallah's health a few hours
[01:58:53] after the strike is a worrying sign if he has indeed been assassinated, it would be a
[01:58:56] thunderbolt unmatched in the region in recent decades.
[01:59:05] If this is true, the likelihood of a direct Iranian attack rises far higher.
[01:59:09] If there's possibility that the commander of the Lebanon front of the IRGC's Quds
[01:59:12] Force was killed in the Israeli air raid on southern suburbs of Beirut, there is
[01:59:16] a possibility that the commander of the Lebanon front of the IRGC's Quds Force
[01:59:21] was killed in the Israeli air raid on the southern suburbs of Beirut, said
[01:59:24] the IRGC affiliated submarine news. Do you stand with going with the ongoing war in Israel?
[01:59:48] I'm just asking who he stands with. Bro, I stand with people, okay, human beings, civilians.
[01:59:54] And for that reason, I of course stand firmly against Israel. One of my one of my most firm
[02:00:05] commitments is to be anti genocide, no matter who's doing it, no matter who is being
[02:00:11] genocided, okay? I stand with humanity. And as someone who is anti-genocide, of course,
[02:00:20] I am against Israel, which is currently conducting a genocide and now has also escalated in almost
[02:00:28] identical ways. It's war into Lebanon, a completely sovereign fucking nation-state. A nation-state
[02:00:35] that happens to be bordered with Israel. So, you know, that's what's going to happen
[02:00:39] to them. You know, they had it coming. They shouldn't have been fucking standing there.
[02:00:45] Yeah, they're especially in Beirut. What are they reporting at this?
[02:00:50] So many people believe is really propaganda. This is his Bolas fault. Yes, if you speak to
[02:00:54] like depending on who you speak to, who is of Lebanese descent, you will hear very different
[02:00:59] takes about this as well. Okay, there is an air of supremacist attitude towards Shia
[02:01:04] Muslims inside of Lebanon that are especially from Lebanese people living in diaspora as well.
[02:01:11] That's why, ironically, Capri, some poppy's father had a fucking argument with him, literally
[02:01:19] on stream about how, oh, well, fuck Hezbollah, and the reason why Israel is bombing fucking
[02:01:24] south Lebanon right now is because of Hezbollah, and then hours later, his own fucking farm
[02:01:30] was bombed.
[02:01:35] I wouldn't say that, like, the Lebanese diaspora Christians are indistinguishable
[02:01:40] from ultra Zionists in the same way that like you know some Persians are they still have
[02:01:46] like anger and resentment towards Israel but they certainly have in some instances more
[02:01:53] anger and resentment towards as Bullah than anyone else like they they hate his below more
[02:01:57] than they hate Israel sometimes it's it's it's you know it is what it is point what
[02:02:04] are you hearing and seeing on their news broadcasts in the aftermath again this is
[02:02:09] this is just an hour and a half ago or so
[02:02:13] i mean right now most of what's being said this is that it
[02:02:16] is trafficking off the damage and who was killed of course that we've heard
[02:02:18] various things about uh...
[02:02:21] you know about the full of being alive we've heard various reports
[02:02:23] uh... i've actually had to see any kind of official statement from him a lot
[02:02:26] of them
[02:02:30] all right before we get to uh...
[02:02:31] benjamin in the hour giving a speech in the u n general assembly earlier
[02:02:35] today which many people walked out of by the way
[02:02:38] here it is diplomats uh exited the general assembly hall in protest when niny out at the
[02:02:42] podium the impunity biden has offered israel has been used by niny out to make his real
[02:02:46] and international rio and the conflict
[02:02:49] wait hold on i mean i think this video is talking of israel and the conflict
[02:02:54] anthony blinkin is live let's hear from the fucking animal himself i i can't wait
[02:02:59] i can't wait for him to justify all of the things that happened and to be like i'm
[02:03:03] really mad at israel maybe they should dial it back after celebrating the schedule
[02:03:06] accomplishment the overwhelming majority of countries yeah and we're also gonna

[02:03:26] the three-minute outbreak now let's hear what this animal has to say and is
[02:03:29] using to devastate Ukrainian homes who needs grids and ports as we saw this
[02:03:35] support for Ukraine is not just rhetorical, it's tangible.
[02:03:40] Okay, but Israel's doing Putin's job.
[02:03:41] Dozens of countries came together to help Ukraine rebuild the G7 and other partners,
[02:03:46] made additional commitments to strengthen its energy infrastructure in the face of Russia's ongoing assault.
[02:03:51] Do we have a...
[02:03:52] Do we have a...
[02:03:53] Sending more equipment, like a turbine for Ukraine to win this...
[02:03:55] Okay, here it is.
[02:03:56] ...discussion that they continued in Washington on Thursday yesterday.
[02:04:01] To help Ukraine's courageous defenders and citizens, we announced a surge of support,
[02:04:06] $8 billion in security assistance, including long-range munitions, an additional Patriot
[02:04:10] Air Defense System, and training for more Ukrainian F-16 pilots.
[02:04:16] Starting with the Quad Leaders Summit in Washington, Wilmington on Saturday and throughout this
[02:04:20] week, we've also advanced our vision for a free, open, secure, prosperous Indo-Pacific.
[02:04:26] Biden met with the Vietnamese General Secretary,
[02:04:28] no longer to deepen the comprehensive strategic
[02:04:31] partnership between our countries.
[02:04:34] We're enhancing cooperation on everything from creating
[02:04:36] resilient semiconductor supply chains to addressing
[02:04:39] environmental challenges along the Nekong River.
[02:04:42] We'll continue those conversations in a couple
[02:04:43] of weeks when we get together at the ASEAN Summit
[02:04:45] in Laos.
[02:04:47] Along with my counterparts from Japan and South Korea,
[02:04:49] we took measures to institutionalize our
[02:04:52] trilateral cooperation building on the historic
[02:04:54] Camp David summit, and reaffirming our shared commitment to creating a trilateral secretariat
[02:05:00] to advance this work.
[02:05:01] Just now, I concluded a candid and substantive meeting with China's farm minister, Wang Yi.
[02:05:07] We discussed steps to implement the commitments that our leaders made at Woodside last year,
[02:05:13] like working to disrupt the flow of synthetic drugs and precursor chemicals into the
[02:05:16] United States, improving communications between our militaries, discussing the risks of
[02:05:21] artificial intelligence.
[02:05:23] I emphasize the importance of maintaining peace and stability
[02:05:25] across the Taiwan Strait and raise concerns
[02:05:28] about the PRC's dangerous and destabilizing actions
[02:05:31] in the South China Sea.
[02:05:33] I also underscored our strong concern
[02:05:36] with China's support for Russia's defense industrial base,
[02:05:39] which fuels Russia's war machine
[02:05:41] and perpetuates a war that China
[02:05:44] reports to want to see ended.
[02:05:46] Over the course of the week, we also
[02:05:48] came together with our partners
[02:05:49] many other crucial challenges facing the low.
[02:05:53] We work toward a cessation of hostilities, unrestricted humanitarian access, and civilian
[02:05:57] governance in Sudan.
[02:05:59] We work to garner additional resources and support for the multinational security support
[02:06:04] mission in Haiti.
[02:06:06] We coordinated steps to increase international pressure on the Maduro regime in Venezuela
[02:06:11] to stop its widespread repression of Venezuelan people to respect their will and their
[02:06:15] votes, as expressed at the ballot box.
[02:06:19] test and so many more underscore the magnitude of the challenges facing the globe, but also
[02:06:26] the imperative of diplomacy. We don't have the luxury of pulling back.
[02:06:30] Oh, man.
[02:06:31] Coming hours and for every remaining day of this administration.
[02:06:34] So much diplomacy happening.
[02:06:35] We'll remain in touch with the focus on addressing these challenges as we work to make a better
[02:06:40] world.
[02:06:41] Let's just play this over him. This is American diplomacy, folks.
[02:06:48] Mr. Secretary, a senior Israeli official just briefed the press on today's operation and
[02:07:01] why they are still going into Lebanon.
[02:07:05] The senior official said that their intel told them that there was a plan to encircle
[02:07:11] Israel and eliminate Israel by 2040, that Sinwar on October 7th jumped the gun, that
[02:07:19] they have been defending themselves ever since, that they felt that they feel that Nasrallah
[02:07:27] was the key, the linchpin to all of this and his bala, that after a year they felt that
[02:07:33] they had to get people back in their homes, that they went after Nasrallah and in today's
[02:07:39] strike were targeting him clearly.
[02:07:44] They don't know what they've achieved.
[02:07:47] They still feel that when in the military you have momentum, that you have to keep going,
[02:07:56] that they will be a lot farther along in their operation if it turns out that this was successful
[02:08:01] in their terms today, but that they still, the official said, still have to keep going
[02:08:12] and they are not ready to pause.
[02:08:16] From your conversations, what is your perspective about whether Israel continuing with this operation
[02:08:25] and not going in on the ground, which they said is not preferable?
[02:08:30] But if doing this in what they consider a targeted way, is a legitimate response to
[02:08:36] what they see as an existential threat, or if there is another alternative, a diplomatic
[02:08:41] alternative?
[02:08:42] Andrea, I will let Israel speak to their operations and their objectives.
[02:08:50] It's not my place.
[02:08:52] What are the effects of the American objectives in the American House?
[02:08:56] We and many others have been clear about what we see to be the best path forward.
[02:09:01] And the objective that Israel has in the first instance in Lebanon is an important and legitimate one.
[02:09:08] It's creating an environment that's secure enough to enable people to return home
[02:09:12] home because remember what happened on starting October 8th, Hezbollah started
[02:09:17] lobbing rockets and missiles into Israel trying to create another front in the
[02:09:23] war and Israel of course had to respond to that and in the process tens of
[02:09:30] thousands of people had to evacuate their homes in northern Israel, villages
[02:09:33] and homes were destroyed in southern Lebanon and so we have large populations
[02:09:38] both in Israel and in Lebanon, who've been forcing their homes.
[02:09:42] And it is a legitimate and important objective for Israel to, again, create an environment
[02:09:48] in which people can get back to their homes.
[02:09:51] The question is, what's the best way to do that?
[02:09:53] What is the most effective, sustainable way to do that?
[02:09:57] We believe in many other countries who joined us in putting out a call for a ceasefire
[02:10:03] for 21 days, believe that the best way to do that is through diplomacy, through
[02:10:07] a cease-fire and then reaching an agreement that pulls back forces from the border and gives people the confidence that they can go back to their houses, that the kids can go back to school.
[02:10:18] So we believe that's the BFF word and the Israelis put out a statement earlier today sharing that they share the aims of...
[02:10:26] Yeah, that was cool when Biden...
[02:10:28] All that we put out, again, with the G7, with the EU, with key Arab partners.
[02:10:35] So, the question is not, does Israel have a right to defend itself against terrorism?
[02:10:40] Of course it does.
[02:10:41] Israel has a right to defend itself is just a fucking way to say Israel does whatever it
[02:10:46] wants, okay?
[02:10:47] There has never been territorial gain under Israeli, under the history of Israel, okay,
[02:10:53] for the past 76 years.
[02:10:55] There has never been additional territorial gain that hasn't had that security justification.
[02:11:01] This is the justification for all.
[02:11:03] how they fucking invaded the West Bank and occupied it, okay? That's why when people say
[02:11:09] Israel has a right to defend itself, they're doing this for defense, they just have to
[02:11:13] fucking fight back against Hezbollah is, oh, there it is. IDF has now officially announced
[02:11:20] evacuation orders for the southern suburbs of Beirut. You are located near Hezbollah
[02:11:28] Interest and for your safety and the safety of your loved ones, you are obliged to
[02:11:30] evacuate buildings immediately, which means if they give you an hour to evacuate,
[02:11:35] They'll do it in 15 minutes.
[02:11:40] It's coming.
[02:11:41] More bombing will occur while fucking Anthony Blinken
[02:11:43] is talking, while Benjamin Ennyahu is literally in US soil,
[02:11:47] too.
[02:11:50] We haven't even gotten to the fucking dumb ass
[02:11:52] Benjamin Ennyahu speech.
[02:12:01] Good stuff.
[02:12:02] Administration, clear position on the policy
[02:12:05] of targeted assassination.
[02:12:07] And if I may please, one second question.
[02:12:11] You've emphasized for calm along the northern borders.
[02:12:15] And you have been working towards this goal
[02:12:17] for the past 11 months.
[02:12:20] Now, as we edge closer to a broader conflict,
[02:12:24] could you specify what do you mean by Khan?
[02:12:27] Are you referring to a return to the pre-October 7
[02:12:31] status quo, implying a cessation of hostilities
[02:12:35] or the full implementation of resolution 1701,
[02:12:39] because it does matter for the Lebanese
[02:12:41] and for the Israeli to understand
[02:12:43] what are you proposing?
[02:12:45] And just one final question, we are two weeks away from October 7th, Mr. Secretary, what
[02:12:53] could you-
[02:12:54] By the way, this will put the conflict back in the fucking forefront of the American population's
[02:13:02] interests.
[02:13:03] This is what I said when I told you early on that-
[02:13:07] So first-
[02:13:08] This is what I told you when I told you early on.
[02:13:10] Foreign policy is not the major point of contention ever far from it until it becomes
[02:13:15] the only thing people care about what happened what the intent was and until
[02:13:18] we have that information I can't I can't address in detail our response to it so
[02:13:26] we'll continue to work on that in the hours ahead with regard to a broader
[02:13:32] conflict we've said very clearly you're right ever since October 7th at one
[02:13:36] of our objectives besides making sure that Israel does what it needs to do to
[02:13:42] make sure that October 7th never happens again besides doing everything we can to try to make
[02:13:46] sure that people who are caught in this horrible crossfire, horrible crossfire, people who are
[02:13:51] just caught in it, women, men, children and Gaza that they get the protection that they
[02:13:58] need and the assistance they need. Besides that our objective has been to try to prevent
[02:14:03] the war from spreading as well as escalating and on multiple occasions since October 7th
[02:14:08] We seem to be on the verge of just that happening, including in the days immediately following
[02:14:14] October 7th, and then again on several other occasions, most notably in April, and even
[02:14:20] more recently than that.
[02:14:21] And each and every time, the combination of American deterrence and American diplomacy
[02:14:27] managed to prevent a wider war.
[02:14:29] We're intensely focused on doing exactly that now, along with many other countries,
[02:14:34] in our judgment, in the judgment of so many others, it's in no one's interest to have
[02:14:39] a wider conflict. And so we're working in every possible way to prevent that from happening.
[02:14:46] Now, in terms of where we think this should go, no, going back simply to October 6th
[02:14:54] in terms of the border between Lebanon and Israel is not sufficient, because it's
[02:15:02] It's not simply a matter of having a ceasefire, that is, Hezbollah firing into Israel, Israel
[02:15:08] responding in a tit for tat.
[02:15:10] What's necessary is to create the conditions, including moving forces back, such that people
[02:15:16] in both northern Israel and southern Lebanon have the confidence to return home.
[02:15:23] It would be important, finally, to make 1701 real, not simply a piece of paper.
[02:15:31] surveillance, a senior Israeli source tells CNN that a confirmation of Hassan
[02:15:35] Israel's death could come at any moment. That's what they're saying. According to
[02:15:39] blog down from Turkey three hours three minutes ago through 1701. The
[02:15:46] understanding was that any of the armed militia would put down their weapons.
[02:15:51] The state should have a monopoly on the use of force. Has Bolan ever did
[02:15:56] that, and it's presented an ongoing threat to Israel ever since, again, with the about
[02:16:02] goal of eradicating it.
[02:16:05] So in this instance, the most important thing to do, again, if the objective is to just get
[02:16:12] people home, get kids back to school in Israel and in Lebanon, the most important thing
[02:16:16] to do through diplomacy is to try first to start a fire in both directions.
[02:16:22] And then to use the time that we would have in such a cease-fire to see if we can reach
[02:16:27] a broader diplomatic agreement on this, I think it would have to proceed in phases.
[02:16:34] But we have to have conditions on the ground such that people know with confidence that
[02:16:40] they can be safe in their own homes.
[02:16:41] One way flight prices to get back to the U.S. to get-
[02:16:43] And finally, as we come to-
[02:16:45] At this moment.
[02:16:46] October 7th and the anniversary of that horror.
[02:16:51] focus is not thinking about it. I want to point to something here. Once again, Israel
[02:16:58] always vaguely gestures towards some broad security concern when it engages in territorial
[02:17:07] acquisition in direct contradiction with international human rights law. Okay. There has never
[02:17:13] been an instance where Israel is like, nah, we're just taking this fucking territory
[02:17:17] because we want it, okay?
[02:17:19] It's always, oh, there are people here
[02:17:22] that we have to deal with militarily
[02:17:25] because of our security concerns.
[02:17:28] So we have to bomb them, then they bomb them,
[02:17:31] they kill the civilians.
[02:17:32] That creates a lot more resentment
[02:17:34] amongst the civilian population there
[02:17:36] that then understandably rise up in arms
[02:17:39] against the fucking state, right?
[02:17:42] Then once that area is evacuated,
[02:17:46] Then settlers come in. Israel either directly or indirectly allows these settlers to set up camp.
[02:17:53] Okay? Then comes the next problem. You have to protect these settlers. They're Israeli citizens. They're important.
[02:18:01] So then they go in and they bring in the military apparatus. They build encampments. They build entire city blocks.
[02:18:08] They build military, they build the military occupation and before you know it, they've
[02:18:14] overtaken the entirety of the West Bank.
[02:18:17] There is never a situation where Israel says, we want it, we are going to take it, okay?
[02:18:23] They always use the vague security justifications.
[02:18:27] We have to secure our people.
[02:18:30] We have to secure Israeli interests.
[02:18:32] We have to secure Israeli citizens.
[02:18:35] And that's why we have to behave like this.
[02:18:37] So when people say Israel has a right to defend itself, when they say we just have to simply
[02:18:42] now invade southern Lebanon and occupy southern Lebanon because northern Israelis need to
[02:18:48] go back to school, they need to go back to work, that is precisely what they are saying
[02:18:53] and doing just like they did in Gaza, just like they did in the West Bank, just like
[02:18:59] they did in Golan Heights, which is now permanently annexed internationally, not internationally
[02:19:06] recognized but recognized by the United States as a part of Israel proper okay
[02:19:13] that's it no one ever fucking calls it like living room the settlers do but the
[02:19:21] Israeli state is not going to call it living space they're not gonna say
[02:19:24] Liban's calm okay they're not they're simply going to say security concerns
[02:19:29] they're vaguely gonna gesture towards that but the ultimate goal is land
[02:19:34] land acquisition, okay?
[02:19:36] The ultimate goal always is land acquisition.
[02:19:40] That's it.
[02:19:41] It's pure.
[02:19:43] It's very simple.
[02:19:48] Those military objectives have been achieved.
[02:19:50] And so getting the hostages home,
[02:19:53] putting Gaza on a better path,
[02:19:57] I believe is in their interest.
[02:20:00] It's manifesting the interests of people in Gaza
[02:20:03] who would get immediate relief from the war,
[02:20:08] immediate relief in terms of a surge
[02:20:10] of humanitarian assistance,
[02:20:11] and a commitment from the international community
[02:20:14] to help them rebuild their lives.
[02:20:16] And it should be in the interests of Hamas
[02:20:20] if, as it says, it represents the interests
[02:20:24] of those Palestinians and Gaza,
[02:20:26] because the ceasefire would advance those interests.
[02:20:28] So, irrespective of the individuals involved,
[02:20:31] the interests are clear,
[02:20:32] And whoever the individuals are, they'll
[02:20:35] have to make determinations and decide.
[02:20:36] Similarly, when it comes to Lebanon, same thing.
[02:20:41] It's clearly in the interest of the Lebanese people
[02:20:45] to have peace, to have security, to have stability,
[02:20:50] to not live under threat.
[02:20:52] And certainly in their interest to avoid a wider war,
[02:20:54] where inevitably the biggest victim of such a war,
[02:21:00] those who would suffer the most are the Lebanese people.
[02:21:02] And so those who purport to represent their interests
[02:21:07] and have their well-being at heart
[02:21:09] should find a way to act on those interests
[02:21:11] irrespective of the individuals involved.
[02:21:13] And this is what so many of us are working to put forward.
[02:21:19] We've been very clear in not just what we've said
[02:21:23] but also in what we've done,
[02:21:25] including the deployment of significant assets
[02:21:29] in the region that we will do our part to deter further conflict, to deter escalation,
[02:21:37] to deter a widening war.
[02:21:40] And there are two sides to that coin, one to avoiding that wider war.
[02:21:44] One is this deterrence, and we are committed to it.
[02:21:47] But the other is diplomacy.
[02:21:48] And as I mentioned before, on several occasions, since October 7th, we've been on what
[02:21:53] we judged to be the brink of that wider war.
[02:21:55] And through a combination of deterrence and diplomacy, we've managed to prevent
[02:21:58] that that's what we're focused on now, and all parties in the region, I think including
[02:22:05] Iran, know that and can see that.
[02:22:09] And then finally with regard to Ukraine, I wasn't there because I was here in New York
[02:22:14] representing the President and the administration.
[02:22:17] So while I got a chance to see President Zelensky with President Biden briefly when they were
[02:22:21] both in New York, the meeting that took place yesterday was one that I wasn't part of, and
[02:22:30] I can tell you, though, from the readout that I got from the meeting, that it was not only
[02:22:35] very good and very positive, but among other things that resulted in, or we announced
[02:22:39] at the same time, the provision of significantly more assistance to the Ukrainians, notably
[02:22:46] security and military assistance, more than $8 billion worth, that will carry us
[02:22:50] through the end of this administration.
[02:22:52] In the conversation between the President, President Biden and President Zelensky, the
[02:22:56] Ukrainians presented their plan for victory, and I'll let them speak to the details of
[02:23:01] that, including what's necessary in their judgment to achieve it.
[02:23:06] And we're studying it very carefully, and that includes what, if any, additional
[02:23:11] things we or other partners of Ukraine would be called on to do in order to help
[02:23:16] them achieve that success.
[02:23:18] But the President has been very clear that he's committed to Ukraine's success.
[02:23:22] He's committed to making sure that they have what they need to effectively defend themselves
[02:23:25] as well.
[02:23:26] I've said it many times and I'll say it again.
[02:23:28] Every step along the way we've adapted and adjusted to those needs and I'm convinced
[02:23:33] we'll continue to do so.
[02:23:35] And for the final question, Mark Manier with South China Morning Post.
[02:23:38] Hi, Mr. Secretary.
[02:23:42] Thank you very much.
[02:23:44] Brazil and China a couple of hours ago pushed further on this idea of pushing
[02:23:49] of sort of mediating with a peace plan.
[02:23:51] Can I get your reaction to that?
[02:23:53] Is it a distraction?
[02:23:54] Is there a useful part of that, particularly
[02:23:56] in light of President Swensky's opposition to it?
[02:24:01] Related to that, Ambassador Nick Burns yesterday,
[02:24:04] I believe, basically signaled that there could be
[02:24:07] more sanctions on China related to their dual use.
[02:24:14] All right, let's see what Shannon is doing
[02:24:17] on his live stream.
[02:24:18] Given that at this point we seem to have about 300
[02:24:21] times of violence against China,
[02:24:24] and there's not too much evidence
[02:24:26] that they have managed to change China's behavior.
[02:24:30] Let's see the fact that Mr. Beirut,
[02:24:32] this is a very dangerous and dangerous scene,
[02:24:33] listen to him carefully.
[02:24:36] He lives in the night,
[02:24:38] and he lives in the city of Namuneer.
[02:24:40] To the residents of southern suburbs of Beirut,
[02:24:42] al-Lilaki neighborhood, Minershadeen building,
[02:24:45] and neighboring buildings as shown on the map,
[02:24:46] al-Hadath neighborhood,
[02:24:48] sheet building and adjacent building shown on the map, El Haddad district, El Salam complex.
[02:24:52] You are located near Hezbollah interest and for your safety and the safety of your loved
[02:24:55] ones you are obligated, you are obliged to evacuate the buildings immediately and
[02:24:58] move away from them at a distance no less than 500 meters.
[02:25:03] Now what you need to understand here is that they're saying they are going to start
[02:25:10] blowing up buildings again.
[02:25:12] What you also need to understand is that those fucking,
[02:25:18] like this announcement is coming in midnight, okay?
[02:25:24] This announcement is coming to the Lebanese population
[02:25:26] at fucking midnight.
[02:25:43] U.S. airborne troops arrive in Israel, what?
[02:25:47] No, this is a standard SENTCOM deployment
[02:25:50] that is part of a regular rotation announced two weeks ago.
[02:25:54] I mean, for all the liberals out there,
[02:26:05] Do you think the gays in and what trains you mean trans people will be more safe as the bull has taken out?
[02:26:11] You don't think it's real will have plans to cover mom
[02:26:12] They're asked right after getting the line if you really care about those people you see the bigger picture
[02:26:16] No, it's not even that because the reality is it's not like has Bola is super fucking well
[02:26:23] They might be pro-trans, but they're not exactly pro-gay, right? They're not they're fundamentalist their operation
[02:26:30] They're like internal governance is certainly Islamist fundamentalist. That is that that is a fact
[02:26:36] okay
[02:26:38] Not to the same degree as like Saudi Arabia mind you but that doesn't really fucking matter because Saudi Arabia is our ally
[02:26:44] Anyway here. Let's see what the CNN breaking news looks like a root the blast
[02:26:49] Flatten the buildings in the Lebanese capital you had Nick Robertson described
[02:26:53] He's a war expert and knows exactly the size of the column, the length of time it took for that smoke to rise, the depth of the bunker that they were targeting.
[02:27:06] According to the IDF, the attack was a precision strike on Hezbollah's headquarters.
[02:27:11] Now the unknown, of course, is whether firstly Hassan Nasrallah was there and if he was, did he survive?
[02:27:18] officials on the US and Israel say Washington was kept in the dark until the operation was
[02:27:23] underway. The White House officials were furious that Benjamin Netanyahu had dismissed a ceasefire
[02:27:30] proposal on Thursday and then proceeded as they have. Kevin Liptak is at the White House.
[02:27:36] Netanyahu goes, he very barely gives a speech and he's back home again or at least he's on
[02:27:42] his way home. And this is rather tricky. Yeah, I think it is. And when you talk to
[02:27:48] American officials, they do say that this is obviously a precarious moment, and they're
[02:27:52] trying to emphasize two things. One is that they didn't have any involvement in the strike
[02:27:58] itself, and you heard that from President Biden a little bit earlier, saying that the
[02:28:02] U.S. was involved and had no knowledge. The other thing they're trying to emphasize
[02:28:06] is that they didn't know ahead of time that this was going to be a strike targeting
[02:28:10] Hassan Nasrallah. And what we did learn is that essentially the U.S. Defense Secretary
[02:28:15] learned about the strike as it was underway in a phone call with his israeli counterpart
[02:28:20] the planes were already in the air and so the US is trying very much to distance itself
[02:28:25] from the actual event.
[02:28:27] Come on dude.
[02:28:28] The question now for American officials is of course.
[02:28:31] He made the fucking call from US soil inside of an American hotel blocks away from the
[02:28:38] United Nations General Assembly.
[02:28:39] on Wednesday evening and that the next morning Netanyahu rejected out of hand as
[02:28:45] you mentioned American officials were furious at that there was a number of
[02:28:49] intense meetings in New York. They were so furious that they gave nine billion
[02:28:53] additional dollars of weapons to Israel two days ago. The confidant essentially
[02:28:58] what Anthony Blinken the Secretary of State told Dermer in their meeting was
[02:29:02] that Israel would need to come out with a statement saying that it was
[02:29:05] supportive of a ceasefire broadly of course that was all before this event in
[02:29:10] Beirut now the open question is what happens next and certainly American
[02:29:14] officials very urgently trying to de-escalate the situation. Right, this
[02:29:19] speed and willingness to distance themselves we knew nothing about it
[02:29:24] it's got the overtones of and we wouldn't have supported it if we'd known
[02:29:29] about it in advance is that fair? Well I think when you talk to American
[02:29:35] officials certainly no one is going to mourn the death of Hassan Nasrallah if he is in fact dead
[02:29:41] but the fact that this was happening at a moment when they were trying to ease the tensions and
[02:29:46] lower the temperature not only on the border between Israel and Lebanon but also in Gaza
[02:29:51] I think that American officials would say that the timing was just not right at a moment when
[02:29:57] this whole situation seems like it could tip over into a wider regional war very easily and very
[02:30:04] quickly. That's not to say that they don't support taking out Nasrallah broadly. They
[02:30:09] view Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and they view Nasrallah as something of a
[02:30:15] terrorist. Of course, he leads Hezbollah. So I don't think that American officials
[02:30:19] would necessarily discount the import of that, but the timing I think is what's
[02:30:23] in question.
[02:30:24] How difficult is this with such nuanced, dangerous, risky, geopolitical happenings of as neutral
[02:30:36] as I can be, Kevin, five, six weeks from the US election where neither candidate wants to
[02:30:45] be seen to go too far one way or the other because you will lose votes from the opposite
[02:30:51] side.
[02:30:52] President Biden is looking particularly, how does that say, impotent in this sense, to
[02:30:57] be able to force Israel to do anything.
[02:31:01] And you couldn't make it up.
[02:31:03] You've got Ukraine worsening, you've got Gaza, you've got now Southern Lebanon, and
[02:31:11] we're six weeks away from a U.S. election.
[02:31:14] Absolutely.
[02:31:15] And it's such a complicated dynamic, in particular for the vice president, obviously
[02:31:19] Kamala Harris, who has said nothing specific about how she would handle this situation any
[02:31:25] differently than President Biden. President Biden, of course, has tried and tried again
[02:31:30] to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza to no effect whatsoever. Harris, whenever she's asked about
[02:31:36] the conflict in the Middle East, simply says that it would be resolved if Hamas would
[02:31:41] agree to a hostage deal. But she hasn't said how she would do it, and certainly
[02:31:45] President Biden hasn't been able to do it either.
[02:31:47] When it comes to President Trump, there's no question that he is on the side of Israel
[02:31:52] that essentially he would continue the American perspective of allowing Israel the arms and
[02:31:58] weapons to carry out the strikes that it's carrying out in both Lebanon and Gaza.
[02:32:04] And so I think when you talk to voters and when you think about this from a voter
[02:32:07] perspective, they see a world that is essentially on fire.
[02:32:11] They don't necessarily see a plan to take it under control.
[02:32:15] And I think when you're both of these candidates, the struggle is to try and convince American
[02:32:20] voters that you have the capacity to do something.
[02:32:23] Harris, so far, hasn't necessarily said exactly how she would do any of that.
[02:32:27] Again, you've got a busy few hours ahead of you, so please don't go too far away.
[02:32:32] At the moment, there's more from the White House, all from Capitol Hill.
[02:32:35] You're in Washington.
[02:32:36] You're a man there.
[02:32:37] We expect you to hear from you.
[02:32:38] Thank you.
[02:32:39] I need to bring to your attention more breaking news.
[02:32:40] Hezbollah has fired a barrage of rockets at the city of Safad in northern Israel according to the forces there
[02:32:48] Around 30 rockets were fired in total some of which were intercepted
[02:32:53] officials said at least two of them hit the city we'll find out the damage and the
[02:32:58] Damage assessment in the fullness of time
[02:33:04] Great stuff, man. Thanks
[02:33:06] Um
[02:33:07] It's it's just I don't know what to say like I don't I don't know what to make of any of this beyond
[02:33:19] Yeah, I mean Noah had a good take on this
[02:33:21] Yeah, he said Kim was an anus quit Nasrallah death watch for a second to absorb the hundreds of people Israel mark for death
[02:33:26] No, okay go back to stroking yourselves off while waiting for more news
[02:33:30] like people I
[02:33:33] Don't I don't understand how people don't recognize how every time you do like a
[02:33:37] Like, you pop open the fucking champagne bottles and talk about how fucking wonderful of an act that Israel engaged in that just killed a shit ton of people.
[02:33:48] You're just, you're not, you're not calculating the human toll, you're not calculating the possible retaliation.
[02:33:57] Yes, I intend on watching Benjamin and Yahoo's UN speech. The problem is after in the immediate aftermath of his fucking UN speech, he turned around and, and, and, you know, bombed Lebanon.
[02:34:09] That is now the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu.
[02:34:22] We'll wait for this. I mean, I'm gonna, I'm brought, I'm probably going to cut away from this to the at the rear Admiral Daniel Higari speech that will be coming out in like, in a couple minutes.
[02:34:34] about to address the General Assembly. Let's listen in.
[02:34:37] Ladies and gentlemen, order.
[02:34:42] Yeah, people walked out from the General Assembly when...
[02:34:46] Order, please.
[02:34:48] What we're seeing, ladies and gentlemen,
[02:34:50] a lot of people walking out of the General Assembly
[02:34:52] and the moment in which Benjamin Netanyahu walked in
[02:34:55] to address his, to give his address,
[02:34:59] perhaps a sign, a bit of taking of the temperature
[02:35:02] as to how that session of the world body feels about his.
[02:35:06] The thing is, I'm going to explain to you again, I'm going to explain to you again, like, when
[02:35:15] you think like, oh, American soldiers returning home in fucking caskets because they went
[02:35:20] out there and deployed at the behest of Israel.
[02:35:23] If you think that that is going to stop the American government, you're wrong, okay?
[02:35:28] We went to Iraq for oil.
[02:35:31] didn't stop. We went to Afghanistan and maintained control over opium production that mysteriously
[02:35:39] only went to Europe by the way, not never to America. America's opium comes from China.
[02:35:47] And it really doesn't matter. Like no amount of human toll, even Americans dying will not change
[02:35:56] the American trajectory. That's it. That's it. Look at Vietnam. Look at America's history of
[02:36:13] bloody conquest. America obviously doesn't give a shit about its own veterans beyond like a talking
[02:36:19] point every now and then when talking about like immigration or something. This country does not
[02:36:26] give a fuck about anything including its own citizens, okay? So it might piss people off
[02:36:51] when they see their loved ones die because they wanted to get fucking free college and thought
[02:36:57] they could just like, you know, maybe get on a boat for a couple months and then come back here
[02:37:03] and get a fucking free college education is their only mechanism for upward social mobility
[02:37:07] to participate in the same shit job market that everyone else is participating in with a
[02:37:11] fucking communication degree. But it doesn't change the attitude of the State Department.
[02:37:20] It never did and it won't in this circumstance as well because what will happen?
[02:37:27] Biden and Kamala Harris are full-blown in the tank for Israel's genocide. They have telegraphed that,
[02:37:34] right? They've telegraphed that. They're like, no, we're in the tank. We love this.
[02:37:38] Double suicide pack. We're on board. M is real high. Okay?
[02:37:43] Okay. American troops get deployed into the Middle East to defend Israel. This is a very
[02:37:49] unpopular decision but sorry we just have no other alternative Israel is the
[02:37:54] most moral nation on the planet we have to defend them and by defend we mean we
[02:37:59] have to defend their interests they have to overtake with military occupation
[02:38:05] southern Lebanon and they simply can't do that on their own they can't even
[02:38:08] fucking deal with Hamas in Gaza right of course they're not going to be able
[02:38:12] to destroy Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. So what will happen? We send troops. The American
[02:38:22] public is very frustrated with this because obviously for months they're like, well, we
[02:38:26] wanted a ceasefire. I kind of forgot about it because there were brat means going on.
[02:38:31] It luckily was not, you know, Joe Biden that I hated that I thought was really old and
[02:38:36] I was embarrassed to vote for him and I want to vote against Donald Trump. But people
[02:38:40] will go, okay, you're not doing shit. I'm staying home. I'm not fucking voting for you. And
[02:38:45] more and more people will say that, okay, potentially. And then Trump will win. And
[02:38:51] then what, what does Trump do in this situation? You think Trump will go, okay, it's time
[02:38:55] to fucking have cooler minds prevail? Fuck no. That's it. That is the bipartisan nature
[02:39:05] That is the uniparty when it comes to American foreign policy.
[02:39:10] Okay.
[02:39:13] It's not like Trump is going to be like, all right, well, it's time to rain it in.
[02:39:17] Let's change trajectory.
[02:39:18] Let's reassess our, uh, of the, our allegiance to Israel.
[02:39:21] But I think he's fucking more in the tank for Israel.
[02:39:25] Trump would nuke Lebanon himself personally.
[02:39:30] Huh.
[02:39:31] Fuck.
[02:39:31] I'm in Lebanon waiting for the airstrike.
[02:39:33] Be safe.
[02:39:33] Chatters.
[02:39:35] I don't know what else to say other than that.
[02:39:37] here's the defense secretary that an all-out war should be avoided the
[02:39:45] policy continues to be the best way forward and it's the fastest way until
[02:39:52] that displaced Israeli and Lebanese citizens return to their homes on both
[02:40:00] sides of the border I'll be talking with Minister Gaunt again soon and I
[02:40:08] I'd look to get an update from him when we have that conversation.
[02:40:12] Thank you very much.
[02:40:13] It's your level of frustration.
[02:40:14] It's your level of frustration.
[02:40:15] Good job.
[02:40:16] Good job.
[02:40:17] Well, Jim Trudeau, you know, nothing revolutionary from the Defense Secretary.
[02:40:28] You said exactly what you would expect him to say.
[02:40:30] All that was should be avoided.
[02:40:32] Diplomacy is the way forward.
[02:40:34] Displaced citizens should return.
[02:40:36] It's almost mirror for mirror what Anthony Blinken said.
[02:40:40] in the last hour, but the way they are saying it, Jim,
[02:40:46] and the fact that they are seemingly powerless
[02:40:51] to put any influence or greater influence on Israel
[02:40:55] that's determined to continue, what does that tell you?
[02:41:01] Listen, it tells you at a very minimum
[02:41:04] that there is daylight between the US position
[02:41:07] on this conflict and the Israeli position
[02:41:09] the conflict and not for the first time.
[02:41:11] If you go back months into this conflict, U.S. officials have been pushing for greater
[02:41:14] attention, for instance, to civilian casualties in Gaza, not getting it to the degree that
[02:41:19] they wanted, certainly.
[02:41:21] The U.S. invested an enormous diplomatic capital to get a ceasefire in Gaza, didn't go anywhere.
[02:41:26] Of course, Hamas has a major part in that, but frustration with Israeli officials.
[02:41:31] And now, Richard, this massive strike, decapitation strike, at least attempted one against Nassau
[02:41:37] in Lebanon comes in the midst of another.
[02:41:40] Remember, the cold calculated military analyst style commentary on this issue is to manufacture
[02:41:48] consent that this is a cold calculated tactical decision and not simply just complete death
[02:41:56] and destruction for a civilian population that happens to reside in F***ing Dahia in
[02:42:01] southern Beirut.
[02:42:02] But if the US is impotent to put further pressure, at what point does the US say, I do not mean
[02:42:14] this literally, but I'm using it as a metaphor that will give the importance and significance
[02:42:20] of what I'm saying.
[02:42:22] So take that as that.
[02:42:23] At what point does the US go nuclear in a sense, politically, with Israel, to say
[02:42:29] this has got to stop and whether it's no arms coming to you we will cut money it's got to stop
[02:42:38] it's not clear ever right i mean at least with this administration because there have been a
[02:42:42] number of points where that has been dangled right and perhaps a delay or two over the course of
[02:42:49] the last year but that that breaking point hasn't happened and i think one can reasonably read
[02:42:55] that Benjamin Netanyahu has calculated that that point will not come, and
[02:42:59] particularly will not come before the US election. So listen, there's some
[02:43:06] gamesmanship going on here and the Israeli Prime Minister making decisions
[02:43:11] in his perception of his country's interests here. And oftentimes the
[02:43:17] views of those interests and US interests have been in contradiction
[02:43:21] between US and Israeli officials. I do, Richard, have some news to report
[02:43:24] regarding the strike in Lebanon, this comes from a former senior Israeli official who
[02:43:30] tells me the following, and this speaks to Israel's confidence that Hasan Nasrallah was
[02:43:36] at least there where this strike occurred.
[02:43:39] This former senior official tells me Israel would not have attacked with such scope
[02:43:43] and power if it was not sure with a very high degree of certainty that the ultra-terrorist
[02:43:49] was there, the ultra-terrorist that this former Israeli official is describing
[02:43:54] So that at least had confidence based on their intelligence that he was there
[02:43:58] They have not yet confirmed whether his injured or killed in the strike
[02:44:02] Jim you'll come back at the moment it that is late for you coming up towards me the ultra mega terrors, bro
[02:44:07] He's the Omega here. He's got long nails of duty ahead of you. I'm grateful to you, sir
[02:44:11] This is CNN. We're walking the line the tricky line of keeping you informed
[02:44:16] informed, letting you know what is happening, but obviously not transgressing into the rampant
[02:44:23] speculation that is neither helpful.
[02:44:25] Why is this man, why do they have fucking British Gilbert Gottfried doing the coverage
[02:44:31] right now?
[02:44:32] It is like the most unhinged.
[02:44:34] Reporters on all of this, and when someone like Jim Shooter is talking about what is
[02:44:37] happening and what he is hearing, the high level of confidence.
[02:44:42] say even while opium for other countries what interest do they have now?
[02:44:45] Israel's own personal interest?
[02:44:47] And then you take what Nick Robertson was saying about the extent of the rebel, the
[02:44:51] territorial ambition.
[02:44:54] If that's what you're asking, they just, they will inevitably have the fucking rabid
[02:44:58] sociopathic settlers try and settle in fucking southern Lebanon and then they'll have more
[02:45:03] security concerns just like they had in the West Bank, just like they had in Gaza,
[02:45:09] like they had in Golan Heights in Syria. It's always a security concern. The security concern
[02:45:15] is just how you package your fascist ideology and constant land acquisition to the Western
[02:45:24] world. That's it. Both internally, you yell about security concerns to your, to liberal
[02:45:33] Zionists and everyone alike. And in the Western world, you talk about your security
[02:45:37] concerns because that's just the name of the game. If you had concerns for the security,
[02:45:43] what the fuck are people doing in the West Bank? Like, why are they in the West Bank?
[02:45:48] Syrias in opposition held areas are celebrating possible news about Nasrallah, such a crazy
[02:45:52] range of reactions. I mean, it's not that crazy. Yeah, a lot of people fucking hate,
[02:45:56] uh, yeah, people hate Hasan Nasrallah, of course. Of course, Syrians that, um,
[02:46:02] Of course, Syrians that fucking hate Hasan Nasrallah are going to celebrate the potential death of Hasan Nasrallah.
[02:46:10] Hezbollah has been pretty fucking brutal in areas of Syria.
[02:46:20] Like, yeah, by the way, they talked about how definitive his death was, and they've changed the definitive nature of Hasan Nasrallah's death.
[02:46:48] who maybe he died but we still don't know they got from we killed them to we're
[02:46:53] pretty sure he was there soon to be it's just a bunch of babies and women were
[02:46:56] killed and they were just human shields and deserved it who had JDM is under
[02:47:00] their bed yeah I'm Lebanese and 70% of the Lebanese hate him too I wouldn't
[02:47:20] say 70% I mean you're talking about Hezbollah which currently as it stands
[02:47:26] I believe is the most has gotten the most votes out of any individual single
[02:47:31] party in the Lebanese parliament system. There are obviously allegiances amongst many other
[02:47:37] parties outside of the scope of Hezbollah. Why do you write your name as Hassan and spell
[02:47:46] it as Hassan? They are two different names. Wait, what? Okay, shut the fuck up, dumbass.
[02:47:52] Never mind. I take it back. Don't fuck. My name is Hassan, okay? H-A-S-A-N. And
[02:48:01] I say it as it is. The popularity of Hezbollah, the popularity of Hezbollah has gone down
[02:48:22] in the last decade or so post 2006. Okay. But his popularity, or Hasan Nasrallah's popularity
[02:48:32] does not factor into the equation of Israel bombing southern Beirut. Okay. The fuck are
[02:48:38] you talking about? If anything, it galvanized people on the ground into hating Israel
[02:48:44] more. It legitimizes, Hezbollah is at its peak popularity when Israel's invading, okay?
[02:48:55] And now there's panic in these neighborhoods as people are fleeing for their fucking lives
[02:49:01] because of the immediate evacuation orders that were given to people in Beirut. Remember,
[02:49:07] a couple days prior, a couple days prior, these people had evacuated to Beirut from
[02:49:15] other parts of southern Lebanon that were being blown up by Israeli rockets.
[02:49:20] A clearer picture could not be given to you of how similar this is to what Israel did in Gaza.
[02:49:27] Okay, they did this exactly. They did this in the exact same way. The justifications are the same.
[02:49:33] It's always the same. The carnage is the same. The targets are the fucking same.
[02:49:38] Even the sound is the same. It went from Hamas to Hasbollah. That's it.
[02:49:44] It's the exact same playbook and the media's defense of these actions are also identical
[02:49:52] I mean in terms of like the Dahiya doctrine that we have talked about
[02:50:03] This doctrine became military doctrine in Dahiya, which is where Israel is bombing now in Lebanon in southern Beirut
[02:50:12] It has been deployed in every single conflict that Israel has engaged with since then aren't these guys terrorists though
[02:50:23] I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you, man
[02:50:27] You see a bunch of fucking fleeing civilians in their cars and you go aren't these guys terrorists though
[02:50:32] I don't know I I don't want to immediately ban you because I feel as though so many Americans are just so fucking conditioned
[02:50:41] So conditioned into you know looking at this situation and going oh well they're terrorists. They deserve it
[02:50:49] Please man, please open your fucking eyes. Okay?
[02:50:52] I'm trying my very best to just look at all this insane Orientalism, Orientalism, insane Islamophobia and just like
[02:51:20] Just try to fucking change people's
[02:51:24] Understanding of this side of the world. It's its presence right now
[02:51:48] No, no, I just got here
[02:51:53] Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't intend to come here this year. My country is at war
[02:52:03] fighting for its life. But after I heard the lies and slanders leveled at my
[02:52:13] country by many of the speakers at this podium, I decided to come here and set
[02:52:22] the record straight. Here, this is the terrorist, okay, the top terrorist. I
[02:52:26] decided to come here to speak for my people, to speak for my country, to
[02:52:40] speak for the truth. And here's the truth. Israel seeks peace.
[02:52:54] Moments after this, he went back to his fucking hotel room in New
[02:52:58] York, mere blocks away from the United Nations General Assembly
[02:53:02] and called for an air strike on six buildings in the middle of
[02:53:07] fucking Beirut with a 2.5 million population, which is
[02:53:11] probably higher now because of all the fucking Lebanese
[02:53:13] people that escaped Southern Lebanon into Beirut as they evacuated away from other places that
[02:53:20] he had bombed days prior and killed hundreds of people. Not even after a song before saying
[02:53:28] that. Oh, he did it before the speech according to Ynet. Nice. By the way, I'm pretty sure
[02:53:47] Jeremy Scales said those people cheering the audience, particularly during the UNGA
[02:53:50] walkout, were people they brought in for the intention of making it look like Israel
[02:53:54] has support. They were basically actors brought in. All the cheering you're hearing is
[02:54:00] from people like Schmooley in the peanut gallery that Netanyahu invited to his address by the
[02:54:04] way. Yeah, it's stuff. Wait, what? What would stop an a greater power like a UAE from stepping
[02:54:14] in and stopping Israel UAE? UAE is doing its own Israel shit through a proxy with
[02:54:23] the RSF in Sudan right now. The fuck is the UAE going to do to stop Israel? What
[02:54:27] What are they going to do? Use American weapons against Israel?
[02:54:31] You think the UAE is going to use their American armaments against Israel?
[02:54:36] How do you think they got the armaments to begin with? How do you think they got the
[02:54:39] miniatures to begin with? They're also too busy fucking using their own again,
[02:54:45] doing their own Israel style death and destruction campaign by way of the RSF in Sudan.
[02:54:51] again. Good luck to the UAE. The UAE will never defend Palestine. Are you kidding me?
[02:55:00] Don't give a fuck about anything. And neither does Saudi Arabia, okay? The only place that
[02:55:16] isn't like firmly and completely aligned with Israel, I guess, would be considered
[02:55:22] Qatar. And that is because they're basically the Switzerland, okay? That's it. There
[02:55:31] There needs to be a place, there needs to be a Switzerland in the fucking region, and
[02:55:36] that happens to be Qatar.
[02:55:40] No, Egypt is not the Switzerland at all.
[02:55:42] Egypt is also a willing participant and is single-handedly propped up by an American
[02:55:50] puppet state and is basically reliant on every country in the region as an American
[02:56:13] puppet.
[02:56:18] are not as overtly American puppets as others. What about the great power Oman? Yes, sorry.
[02:56:32] I mean, of course, Qatar is also an American puppet state. Qatar and Turkey are also both
[02:56:39] American puppet states, but they're the ones that also sometimes will like,
[02:56:45] like they, they have a more neutral assessment of the situation. That's why you have all
[02:56:49] the fucking formerly all the Hamas civilian envoys living in fucking Doha
[02:56:56] down the street from some of the chatters in here right now as a matter of fact in the same
[02:57:00] fucking neighborhood. Why does the virus want to sanction China, Turkey, India and UAE for
[02:57:16] trading with Russia? Good luck. This is why I said earlier that the populations
[02:57:32] in these countries understandably hate Israel. Okay? But the top brass, the government officials,
[02:57:42] the monarchs, and those who have a stake in the continuation of American weapons contracts coming
[02:57:51] in, they are in a holding pattern. They basically have to be responsive to the anger and resentment
[02:57:59] of their own civilian population, while still maintaining the same order of business with
[02:58:06] the state of Israel and with the United States of America.
[02:58:09] Their job is to basically go, we hear you, we see you, fuck Israel, you're absolutely
[02:58:14] correct.
[02:58:15] I can't believe all the stuff that they're doing, while, you know, they have to say
[02:58:20] that so that there's no fucking riots that end up causing a change of governance in
[02:58:27] these countries. Are you going to talk about Lebanon and Hassan Nasrallah? What's Lebanon?
[02:58:37] All bite. Who's Hassan Nasrallah? All bite. Is that like an important person in this process?
[02:58:57] Like I don't really know. I think Lebanon or where gay women come from? Yeah, that's what it is.
[02:59:25] That's such a funny thing to say here by the way to be like are you gonna are you gonna
[02:59:30] to talk about Lebanon and Hassan Nasrallah. It seems like your silence is
[02:59:34] deafening. Your silence on Hassan Nasrallah is deafening, okay?
[02:59:46] Especially at the top of the hour. It rings hollow. When you serve a three
[02:59:51] minute ab break, it feels simply like you are passing time in order to avoid
[02:59:59] talking about Hassan Nasrallah again, okay? And that's what's going on here. I
[03:00:12] I should probably get back to talking about politics, but you can also listen to the uninterrupted

[03:00:52] Orbital Pyramid, thank you for the five gifted subs.
[03:00:55] Do you think Hezbollah will have any success if Israel goes through the ground invasion?
[03:01:04] looking at their track record so far apps the fucking Lutely unless America
[03:01:11] intervenes the entire reason as to why Israel is doing this fuck shit right now
[03:01:18] instead of like doing up boots on the ground invasion in Lebanon is because
[03:01:23] they also recognize that if they were to send the diaper brigade into southern
[03:01:28] Lebanon the same diaper brigade that is already fucking devastated by the
[03:01:35] the ongoing genocide that it, you know, is conducting in Gaza, like they can't, dude, listen,
[03:01:50] they cannot, they cannot even deal with their own occupied territory in Gaza.
[03:01:57] How the fuck do you expect them to successfully launch an attack against a much better equipped
[03:02:05] standing military with much better weapons with a track record of literally fucking beating
[03:02:14] the IDF before. We are aware of sending Iranian weapons that has Bola and neutralized them.
[03:02:24] Air Force planes are patrolling the area of Beirut airport. So far, unlike Syria, the Lebanese
[03:02:28] government has acted responsibly over the years and has not allowed the transfer of
[03:02:31] weapons from this airport. They're threatening to blow up the fucking airport.
[03:02:35] that's crazy. Are we glazing the Hezbollah's too much? Are they really that good? Look,
[03:02:44] I only can act on what has happened in the past. Okay, and Hezbollah has grown in its ranks and
[03:02:51] its military capability since 2006. That's it. Successfully thwarted an Israeli invasion
[03:03:13] already. Wait, is Israel or Hezbollah threatened to blow up the airport? Israel is, man. Why
[03:03:22] How the fuck would Hezbollah blow up their own civilian airport?
[03:03:25] What are you talking about?
[03:03:26] Is really enemy army calls on residents in southern suburbs of Beirut?
[03:03:44] Oh yeah, we covered this already.
[03:03:46] Immediately evacuate.
[03:03:47] Panic is already set in amongst the population, the civilian population of Beirut.
[03:03:53] But on that, there seems to be a warning about the airport that Israel is clearly watching
[03:03:57] developments there and what sort of planes fly in and what sort of planes fly out.
[03:04:02] And I think again we heard from him the warning there to the civilians that you
[03:04:06] who may be sleeping close to Hezbollah leaders,
[03:04:09] and that they will continue with this information.
[03:04:11] Look, part of what the IDF is trying to do, probably,
[03:04:14] at this stage, not particularly successfully,
[03:04:17] is inform the Lebanese people that Israel is not targeting them.
[03:04:22] The Lebanese people, Israel is targeting Hezbollah,
[03:04:24] trying to make that distinction.
[03:04:27] The success rate on that messaging is probably not very high,
[03:04:30] but that is part of what they're trying to do here, it seems.
[03:04:33] Next, you've got more work to do later,
[03:04:35] but stay with me for the moment.
[03:04:37] Fareed is with me.
[03:04:39] Fareed Zakaria, I have stuff.
[03:04:41] Fareed Zakaria, GPS.
[03:04:43] As you look, Fareed, what is happening tonight.
[03:04:45] In the coming hours, we're gonna
[03:04:46] touch on the details of what has been
[03:04:48] the underground infrastructure here in the heart of the heat.
[03:04:51] This is a coastal missile array built with Iran.
[03:04:53] I think what you're witnessing here
[03:04:55] is a very carefully thought through Israeli strategy.
[03:04:59] Israel was surprised on October 7th.
[03:05:02] They were not expecting the terrorist attack from Hamas.
[03:05:07] They were not expecting to be dragged into the complicated ground operation that they
[03:05:14] have in Gaza.
[03:05:16] And all of that I think has caused a lot of consternation within the Israeli establishment
[03:05:21] and military.
[03:05:23] This was one they have been planning for for a long time.
[03:05:26] Israel has been thinking to itself, how do we defang Hezbollah?
[03:05:31] And unlike Gaza, what Israel likes to do is, you know, short wars, lightning strikes, and
[03:05:38] on some...
[03:05:39] Did you listen to the daily episode while they still hold some prestige as protectors
[03:05:42] of Lebanon from Israel?
[03:05:43] It seems that the sentiment has been, why did you drag us into this war?
[03:05:46] It feels like targeting large city centers like Beirut will shift public opinion back
[03:05:49] to Hezbollah.
[03:05:50] Dog, that's the New York Times manufacturing consent.
[03:05:54] Hezbollah still very much maintains prestige as like the only successful military that
[03:06:00] that has been able to, over the course of many, many years, develop into perhaps the only
[03:06:06] standing military of Lebanon. And yes, they are seen as a defensive force. There are definitely
[03:06:14] Lebanese people that don't like Hezbollah in its domestic policies, for sure. But like
[03:06:22] when Lebanese people see this shit or know that this shit is coming, especially when
[03:06:26] they have experienced this shit not that long ago, it only galvanizes the Hezbollah
[03:06:33] opposition that they'll make this I mean looking they said tonight it's changed
[03:06:48] the rules basically whether that's all that they said they changed the rules but
[03:06:52] they said that before they said before that they will punish Israel and we've
[03:06:56] not seen if you will commensurate punishment to the losses that have
[03:07:01] been inflicted is this the one where they really go for it I don't think so
[03:07:08] I thought I talked to the president of Iran. We have the interview on my show on Sunday
[03:07:14] It's the first interview. He's given to a Western
[03:07:17] Media outlet and he sounded now this was before the attack
[03:07:21] But he sounded restrained and he made the point that look
[03:07:24] His bullet does not have the kind of weaponry to counter Israel strikes. It is a you know, Israel is much more powerful
[03:07:32] I was surprised that the president of Iran would admit that and in by implication
[03:07:36] He was even sort of saying it about Iran itself.
[03:07:40] The Iranian strategy, I think, is different.
[03:07:43] And in its own way, it's effective, which is to keep the pressure on Israel from Hamas,
[03:07:49] from Hezbollah, from the Houthis.
[03:07:51] No, they're right.
[03:07:52] They don't have any fucking anti-air capability.
[03:07:53] What are you talking about?
[03:07:56] What that does is it diverts shipping from the Persian Gulf.
[03:07:59] It makes it so that very few airlines are flying into Jerusalem anymore.
[03:08:04] You know it used to be something like 62 and I saw a report that you know that said you're down to one LL
[03:08:10] So in other words you make it difficult for Israel to have business as usual the businesses can't work that
[03:08:17] Travel and tourism industry doesn't work. This was reservists normally take a two months are now out
[03:08:24] You know for a year in the army
[03:08:26] So it's a kind of slow grinding
[03:08:29] You know keep the temperature high, but they don't have the capacity either to really
[03:08:34] back and that's why you correctly point out they've said it many times Richard
[03:08:39] but they have actually rarely delivered because they know that the Israelis
[03:08:44] would be able to punch counterpunch much harder so I think we're beyond the days
[03:08:49] we're on that we're beyond the times now for reading it would be not outside it
[03:08:56] would be not outside of the scope of expected results if they accidentally
[03:09:02] fucking fired on American flights. If they're taking this aggressive of a posture that would
[03:09:11] literally even though they are round the clock communicating with one another. Okay. It would
[03:09:20] not even it would not be beyond the scope of reason if they accidentally blew up a fucking
[03:09:26] American fighter jet idea spokesman rear Admiral Daniel Hagar even though they are communicating
[03:09:30] was one another in real time. Rear Admiral Daniel Hagar says it's really just a patrol
[03:09:41] in the airspace near Beirut International Airport. It will not allow hostile flights
[03:09:44] with weapons to land there. It is a civilian airport for civilian purposes and he needs
[03:09:47] to say that way, he said.
[03:09:56] Deal with Hezbollah. I think it has wide public support. So BB can do it with the
[03:10:01] full knowledge. He has a lot of backing for it. And the Biden people can't do much
[03:10:06] because the Israelis are going to do it no matter what. And as you say, the
[03:10:10] The only weapon they have is they could withhold military aid, which they're not going to do
[03:10:15] because Israel has strong support in the United States, particularly among Republicans.
[03:10:21] Now Trump, I think, looks at this with glee because it makes the Biden administration
[03:10:27] look impotent.
[03:10:28] It makes them squirm.
[03:10:29] It makes the Democrats are caught between two camps within their party.
[03:10:36] And as the outsider, you know, he can always criticize.
[03:10:40] So I think that this is good for Trump.
[03:10:42] Great.
[03:10:43] I need to let you go.
[03:10:44] I'm grateful for your time tonight.
[03:10:45] I will talk more about it in the days and weeks.
[03:10:47] Thank you, sir.
[03:10:48] Thank you very much.
[03:10:49] Let's take a short break while we pause, regroup, and when I come back, I'll bring
[03:10:55] you up to date with what we know.
[03:11:04] They sang an entire U.S. Navy ship in 1967.
[03:11:06] Yes.
[03:11:07] But that was 1967.
[03:11:09] It didn't happen in broad daylight in front of fucking millions of eyeballs.
[03:11:12] But it doesn't matter.
[03:11:16] America is, dude, even if they fucking, even if they blew up, even if they blew up an American
[03:11:26] fighter jet or accidentally killed, like, American military, it does not change America's
[03:11:33] calculation.
[03:11:41] Higari says military will soon strike underground Hezbollah sites in the Dahiya suburb of Beirut
[03:11:45] and therefore warn civilians in the area to evacuate immediately.
[03:11:48] This is the Daniel Higari statement translated.
[03:11:52] In the coming hours, we are going to strike strategic capability that Hezbollah placed
[03:11:56] underground under three buildings in the heart of the Dahiyyah.
[03:11:59] Over the years, Hezbollah built and developed an array of coast-to-sea missiles that originate
[03:12:02] in Iran, noting the 2006 attack on the INS Hanit, killing four sailors.
[03:12:07] Nasrallah himself threatened Israel's vital and strategic facilities at sea and near
[03:12:11] the coast.
[03:12:12] We will now reveal how Hezbollah places strategic weapons under civilian buildings
[03:12:16] in the heart of Dahiyyah.
[03:12:18] These missiles are a real threat to world shipping lanes and strategic facilities
[03:12:21] of the state of Israel. In short while, we will attack the weapons under those buildings.
[03:12:25] The intensity of the explosion of the weapons under the buildings will lead to damage the
[03:12:29] buildings and could lead to their collapse. The IDF issued evacuation warnings to three
[03:12:33] buildings and their surroundings a short while ago. Holy fuck, they are going to
[03:12:38] use insane ordinances. Higari warns that the military will not allow any weapons
[03:12:47] transfers that the Hezbollah terror group, including via Beirut's international airport,
[03:12:52] We will not allow the transfer of weapons to the Hezbollah terror group in any way.
[03:12:55] We know of Iranian weapons transfers to Hezbollah and we will foil them.
[03:12:59] Air Force planes are now patrolling the Beirut airport area.
[03:13:02] Until now Lebanon, contrary to Syria, acted over the years responsibly and did not allow
[03:13:06] the transfer of weapons through the civilian airport.
[03:13:08] We are announcing we will not allow enemy flights with weapons to land at the civilian
[03:13:12] airport in Beirut.
[03:13:13] This is a civilian airport for civilian use and it must say that way he adds.
[03:13:19] This gives just cause in the eyes of Western media and the Western governments that if they
[03:13:24] end up blowing up the Beirut airport, the civilian airport, they will be like, well,
[03:13:30] we gave four more years.
[03:13:32] The breaking news.
[03:13:33] An Israeli official now says, later of Hezbollah, was the target of a massive airstrike in
[03:13:40] Beirut.
[03:13:41] And other intelligence says that the Israelis have high confidence that Israel was in
[03:13:49] the buildings that were then destroyed by the Israeli forces attacking the Lebanese capital.
[03:13:56] According to the IDF, it was a precision strike on Osbolaz headquarters. Now, the whereabouts
[03:14:01] and what happened to Nasrallah, we simply don't know. The spokesman for Israel's IDF
[03:14:11] has said, told us a moment or two ago, that they were waiting further information and
[03:14:18] they hoped to have more precise details in a while.
[03:14:21] US and Israeli officials say Washington was largely kept in the dark until the operation
[03:14:26] was underway.
[03:14:27] The Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been speaking.
[03:14:30] He hits on familiar talking points and frankly didn't say much else.
[03:14:34] What I will say is that you've heard me say a number of times that an all-out war should
[03:14:43] be avoided.
[03:15:19] And we have no knowledge on the, what happened in Israel.
[03:15:26] Clearly some frustration, and I think you can hear it there a bit from Defense Secretary
[03:15:29] Lloyd Austin.
[03:15:30] He certainly doesn't reveal much, that's very much his nature, but again a level of frustration
[03:15:35] that the U.S. was told moments before that Israel was carrying out a strike or a major
[03:15:40] operation in Lebanon while the planes were effectively already in the air.
[03:15:45] So no real point in trying to consult there or talk through things.
[03:15:49] strike was already well underway and it's worth pointing out this is the second time
[03:15:53] in days this has happened. It was exactly 10 days ago that Austin was on the phone with
[03:15:58] his Israeli counterpart and got a heads up that an Israeli operation would take place
[03:16:02] in Lebanon. Well it's not a very useful piece of information because of the range of Israeli
[03:16:06] operations we've seen in Lebanon and then US officials only learned that it was exploding
[03:16:11] pagers when they saw those reports emerging from Lebanon. So this is now at least twice
[03:16:16] over the course of a week and a half and you can sense the frustration on the US side.
[03:16:20] On top of that, the US has been pushing for a ceasefire, thought they had the Israelis
[03:16:25] on board, and then Benjamin Netanyahu lands and makes it clear that he has no interest
[03:16:30] in a ceasefire.
[03:16:31] It's worth trying to learn more about how related are those two, Richard.
[03:16:36] Did Netanyahu find out he had a chance to go after Hassan Nasrallah and therefore
[03:16:40] decided to abandon the US plan, or was it something different there?
[03:16:44] Will U.S. pushing diplomacy when it seems so unlikely right now?
[03:16:48] All right, that depends again.
[03:16:49] It's going to be a late night for you as well.
[03:16:51] When there's more to report, come back to me please immediately.
[03:16:53] Thank you.
[03:16:54] Karagapa was the U.S. Ambassador to Oman, the former ambassadors with me now.
[03:17:01] Sir, the situation and the ability to get out of this without getting much worse
[03:17:11] is just about impossible now.
[03:17:14] Well, thank you for having me.
[03:17:17] First of all, indeed, the situation does look grim.
[03:17:21] Clearly what Israel has done today is a marked increase in the escalation of the conflict
[03:17:30] that has been going on for years, if not decades, between Hezbollah and the state
[03:17:36] of Israel.
[03:17:38] I think what is clear here is that Israel has every intention of decapitating this
[03:17:44] organization, which it views after Iran as yeah, now we hear from our fucking like former
[03:17:53] current active State Department officials members of the military industrial complex
[03:17:57] eliminate something like seven or nine top leaders within as well as so it's not unusual
[03:18:04] they would go after so Mr. Nussarroa himself. Right. But so there's an element of opportunity
[03:18:09] in a sense, that the opportunity has presented itself to decapitate the leadership of Hezbollah,
[03:18:20] but they're not going to disappear. And at the end of the day, some form of buffer, larger
[03:18:27] buffer and a reformat is going to have to take place.
[03:18:32] That's right. And I don't think the intention here is to actually eliminate Hezbollah.
[03:18:38] Asbala is a very different type of adversary than Hamas and Gaza is, and in this case, they
[03:18:45] are indeed seeking to create a real buffer between the Northern Israeli border.
[03:18:51] The bigger threat you pose to Israel's territorial ambitions, the bigger of a terrorist group
[03:18:57] you are.
[03:18:58] Okay?
[03:18:59] That's it.
[03:19:00] The standards are that and that only.
[03:19:03] If you have successfully militarily defeated the Israeli military, the Israeli Occupy Force,
[03:19:09] then you are even greater of a threat for regional stability and for, you know, it's
[03:19:17] even worse than Hamas.
[03:19:19] It's like you're big bad, so much worse.
[03:19:21] Well, there is that, but also there is an opportunity for the United States and like-minded
[03:19:29] countries to begin to work together, to begin to apply pressure on Iran to rein in Hezbollah
[03:19:36] and particularly its nonstop rocket attacks on Israel, which is ultimately what Israel
[03:19:42] wants to see in the very near term.
[03:19:44] I'd also call your attention to a very important meeting that apparently has taken place in
[03:19:51] Tehran itself, the Supreme National Security Council.
[03:19:55] And I'm fairly certain that the discussion in that meeting was, what do we Iran do now,
[03:20:03] as our most important strategic asset, is under attack.
[03:20:08] Who elsewhere is a power broker?
[03:20:12] And I'm thinking of Saudi, the UAE, Qatar, of course, has played a large role in relation
[03:20:19] to the hostages in Gaza.
[03:20:23] Who, the king of Jordan, is said to be beside himself with the depression, the way in which
[03:20:30] this is deteriorating, but who has the ability to play a role?
[03:20:36] Well, the countries that you mentioned certainly have a communication channel with the leadership
[03:20:43] of Iran and can speak to the need to try and rein in Hezbollah to the Iranians.
[03:20:50] I would also say that probably the Chinese do, and I would not be surprised if some attempts
[03:20:58] to reach out to the Chinese to use their offices to speak with Iranian leadership as well.
[03:21:06] And that's about the limit of it in terms of those with the most, I'd say, significant
[03:21:12] interest and role or presence in Tehran.
[03:21:18] So what about the election here in the United States?
[03:21:21] How does either candidate manage to get through the next five weeks without making a political
[03:21:31] faux pas?
[03:21:35] Well what makes that question so challenging is that we know a significant number of Americans,
[03:21:41] I would not say a majority, but a significant number.
[03:21:44] Have to save the day. No, China is just kicking back, dude
[03:21:47] They're just kicking back relaxing to the max and watching America destroy every fucking ounce of credibility
[03:21:54] It had and the global stage. That's it also
[03:21:58] They are very cold and very calculated in these matters
[03:22:01] They will not intervene or interfere until it becomes an issue for like global trade
[03:22:08] specifically oil, like they did when they put forth the Iran-Saudi Arabia peace agreement.
[03:22:16] Also a lot of pressure to stand behind our long-time ally Israel.
[03:22:22] Sir, I'm grateful to you. I wish you well. Thank you. Join us tonight.
[03:22:26] And that's our reporting. Let me tell you. So we have the – what we are waiting for now,
[03:22:33] Of course, there's some form of confirmation on whether or not Hassan Nasrallah has been
[03:22:38] killed tonight in that massive Israel attack in Beirut.
[03:22:45] And now we're hearing, of course, that other people in southern Beirut are being told
[03:22:49] to evacuate, which might suggest that there is more activity to come.
[03:22:55] Israel says it's in an attack mode, and it is ready for all aspects of that.
[03:23:02] The news continues here on CNN, the lead is next, and because the news never stops, neither
[03:23:08] do we.
[03:23:09] This is it.
[03:23:12] Anyway, I know his voice is hard to fucking pay attention to and listen to, I know Chad.
[03:23:21] New York Times turning mass carnage in Lebanon into a fun email quiz.
[03:23:25] Israel waged an intense air campaign against Hezbollah on Monday, striking more than
[03:23:29] 1,000 sites and killing more than 500 people.
[03:23:31] It was the deadliest day in Lebanon since when?
[03:23:35] Start the quiz by choosing your answer.
[03:23:39] Thank you New York Times.
[03:23:43] We are so eye worth fucking this is some Nazi shit dude.
[03:23:48] Straight up brother.
[03:23:49] Holy fuck.
[03:23:54] Israel yearns for peace.
[03:23:56] Israel has made peace and will make peace again.
[03:24:06] Yet we face savage enemies who seek our annihilation and we must defend ourselves.
[03:24:12] against these savage murderers. Our enemies seek not only to destroy us.
[03:24:20] First tenure professor of fire for pro-Palestine speech is Jewish in case
[03:24:26] anyone still thinks designism shit is about protecting Jews. Yep.
[03:24:30] Mora Finkelstein was terminated by Muhlenberg College for an Instagram post.
[03:24:34] Nice. Mora Finkelstein never hit her support for Palestinian liberation
[03:24:44] during her nine years working as a professor of anthropology at Muhlenberg
[03:24:47] College of Small Liberal Arts School in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
[03:24:50] I've always had an ethical practice in making sure that I include Palestine in my teachings,
[03:24:54] Finkelstein told me.
[03:24:56] It was never outside the bounds of what I do.
[03:24:58] For Finkelstein, who is Jewish, this was not always easy.
[03:25:01] More than 30% of Muhlenberg's 2,200 students are Jewish.
[03:25:04] Many of them vocal supporters of Israel.
[03:25:06] Neither her longtime public support of Palestinians, however, nor the courses on Palestine
[03:25:09] she taught in early years of the school prevented Finkelstein from earning tenure
[03:25:12] in 2021.
[03:25:14] the arduous tenure process, professors are supposed to enjoy lifetime job security in
[03:25:18] a robust safeguard for academic freedom. The bar for dismissal from a tenured academic
[03:25:23] position is by design meant to be extremely high, requiring justifiable causes. Precisely
[03:25:28] the reason why there is like literally a litany of like psychopathic rabid white supremacist
[03:25:36] tenured professors in institutes of higher learning because the tenure process is so
[03:25:41] fucking complicated and so rigid once tenure is given. I mean, Dersh! Think about the Dersh!
[03:25:53] Yeah, Nazi professors, Amy Wax is exactly who I was talking about. Amy Wax is a great
[03:26:00] example of this, who literally fucking petitioned to bring Jared Taylor, to speak on campus,
[03:26:09] Jared Taylor, like an open out and about American Nazi.
[03:26:16] AAUP is getting involved to defend her.
[03:26:21] The American Association of University Professors
[03:26:23] has opened a case on the dismissal
[03:26:25] of Professor Mora Finkelstein from Muhlenburg College
[03:26:27] due to a student complaint regarding her extra mural
[03:26:29] speech and conduct related to the war in Gaza.
[03:26:31] The dismissal raises serious concerns
[03:26:33] about academic freedom in Muhlenburg.
[03:26:35] It also appears that Abbott did not follow
[03:26:37] its own regulations regarding dismissal
[03:26:38] followed established guidelines on academic due process, a hearing before faculty, body before
[03:26:44] where the admin makes their case. Amy Wax recently, no, the reason why I'm talking about it is because
[03:26:59] the tenured law professor famous for controversial comments often criticizes
[03:27:02] the reason was suspended for the upcoming academic year. For years and years, the reason why I'm
[03:27:09] talking about this is because they use this, they use this suspension as a counter to be like
[03:27:15] Why are all these other people not getting suspended that are pro-Palestine?
[03:27:19] That's the reason why Amy Wax is in the news currently.
[03:27:23] Okay, she got a one-year suspension with half-pay set to begin during 2025-2026.
[03:27:29] Wax will also lose her name chair position.
[03:27:34] When Wax speaks at public events she will also be required to speak for
[03:27:36] yourself alone and not as a university or pen carry law school faculty member.
[03:27:43] opinion professors are like fucking killer cops dude but Amy wax is of course
[03:27:56] well one she was not removed from her position that's important to understand and secondly
[03:28:03] Amy wax has a incredibly long history of being an overt out and about white supremacists
[03:28:10] Okay. So, like, there is, there are very few comparisons. Like, look, in a letter obtained
[03:28:22] by a student newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvania Ruger also accused Wax of telling a black
[03:28:26] student she had only become a double IB League student due to affirmative action. Theodore
[03:28:31] Ruger, the former dean of Penn Law School, removed her from teaching any required courses
[03:28:35] in 2018 after making comments on the academic performance and grade distributions of the
[03:28:39] black students in her required first year courses. Wax's comments about race began to
[03:28:46] draw criticism after she co-authored an op-ed published in the Philadelphia Enquirer in 2017.
[03:28:51] In that, in a later interview that same year Wax said, I don't think I've ever seen a black
[03:28:55] student graduate in the top quarter of the class and rarely, rarely in the top half.
[03:29:04] She is like a straightforward out and about
[03:29:07] about Nazi, okay. This is like if you've paid close attention to like campus culture worship.
[03:29:17] You probably knew about this person already because she's always tried basically to fucking
[03:29:24] have her tenure removed. I suspect to like become a podcast or something. I don't know.
[03:29:32] Moody's downgraded Israel's credit rating again to be a one. I mean, yeah. Pop notch
[03:29:41] downgrade leaves nation three steps above junk Israel sees cost of conflicts reaching 66 billion by
[03:29:46] the end of 2025 hey guess what dude America will put the bill don't worry Moody's has been declared
[03:29:59] anti-semitic for attacking the only Jewish economy in the world okay but like honestly
[03:30:09] honestly like I can see that that's a tablet magazine headline in the making article by
[03:30:18] tablet magazine is Moody's in the pocket of Hamas. If not, why is it attacking the only
[03:30:27] Jewish economy in the world? I can totally see this be a fucking headline, dude. Like,
[03:30:34] I'm not even, this is, oh my God. Tablet magazine, who recently wrote yesterday, the editor
[03:30:41] in chief of tablet magazine wrote an article, the Jews must protect Eric Adams. The Jews
[03:30:52] must defend Eric Adams in the midst of his ongoing investigation. Check out this at 140,
[03:31:10] you're missing out on the new IDF animations. Oh God, oh, what are the, what are the new bloody
[03:31:15] animations that they have to justify blowing up entire city blocks?
[03:31:19] Above, acting as a shield. Here you can see one of the buildings in the heart of the Dakhia.
[03:31:26] When entering and descending to the parking level, there is a storage facility for strategic
[03:31:33] weapons. Hezbollah has stored these strategic weapons beneath civilian populations. The
[03:31:41] way the missile are stored in these buildings allows them to be moved and launched with
[03:31:46] outside of the buildings within minutes. This possesses a real and immediate threat.
[03:31:52] Dakhia, Hezbollah, Hamas, with an arsenal of weapons.
[03:32:06] And I am hearing, as you can see in the CGI, that the weapons are actually anti-semitic.
[03:32:15] These are not normal bombs used by Hamas and Hezbollah.
[03:32:22] These are weapons that specifically are heat-seeking weapons that target Jews, and Jews only.
[03:32:48] The goal for these weapons is to destroy Israel.
[03:32:52] Yeah, well they haven't completed or started the bombing campaign yet as of now, but it
[03:33:04] will start very soon.
[03:33:42] The proof that there is no missiles under the buildings can be launched in minutes
[03:33:44] is the Hezbollah isn't firing off all of them right now before Israel strikes the alleged
[03:33:48] stash. If the missiles are there and can be launched quickly, they would be in the air
[03:33:52] right now. Yeah. That's the thing I don't understand. Like if there are missile silos
[03:33:57] underneath these buildings, like why aren't they fucking using the anti-semitic missiles?
[03:34:01] Like immediately Israel has all but communicated that they are going to blow those missiles
[03:34:08] up so if they're fucking like why would you waste them I don't really understand it like
[03:34:23] if I have a stash of basement anti-semite missiles okay anti-semitic missiles stashed in my basement
[03:34:31] I find out that the only moral nation on the planet the Jewish nation okay is about to blow
[03:34:38] my missiles up I have an hour I'm using the anti-semitism missiles like I'm not letting
[03:34:43] them go to waste, right? Especially because obviously in this situation Khazbullah's only
[03:34:49] goal is anti-Semitism. They seek to destroy our common civilization
[03:34:55] and return all of us to a dark age of tyranny and terror.
[03:35:02] When I spoke here last year, I said we faced the same timeless choice that Moses put
[03:35:10] before the people of Israel thousands of years ago. As we were about to enter the Promised
[03:35:16] Land Moses told us that our actions bro boo boo boo I don't care oh my god bro oh my fucking
[03:35:26] god Moses in the Promised Land like get the fuck out of here. Anyway Nitya who's UNGA
[03:35:32] speech one of the lowest points of Israeli propaganda says former prime minister is
[03:35:35] The country is at war fighting for its life, but after the lies and slanders leveled at
[03:35:41] Israel I decided to come and- Bro really had the audacity to fucking fire off missiles
[03:35:48] into fucking Beirut and then go up there on that stage and be like Israel only seeks
[03:35:54] peace and by that I mean pieces of dead bodies we seek the record straight.
[03:36:03] What stood out?
[03:36:04] Did they start it?
[03:36:05] Was a pretty comprehensive speech from the Israeli Prime Minister to you?
[03:36:13] Well clearly the defiance stood out and clearly singling out Iran and painting this picture
[03:36:22] of either blessings or something far worse, a curse and holding up those maps.
[03:36:30] In many ways this was sort of vintage Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
[03:36:35] is where he actually feels comfortable, where he is speaking to an audience, where he feels
[03:36:43] that he is a master orator, and he was delivering clearly his version and his belief. But it's
[03:36:53] not the first time we've heard him single out Iran. I think any of us that were looking
[03:36:57] to try to see if there was a nuance in there about this potential ceasefire between Israel
[03:37:06] and Hezbollah on the northern border. I think his continued references to America and France
[03:37:15] about how Hezbollah and Iran as well had been responsible for killing your citizens
[03:37:21] was kind of getting specific on this was your initiative but examine this why don't you?
[03:37:29] I mean look the big takeaway here has to be this is a prime minister who's not climbing down from
[03:37:34] anything he has said who doubled down on everything that is said so far the demand for the hostages
[03:37:39] back his position his view and the takeaway has to be at the moment in this moment of
[03:37:47] of escalating tensions.
[03:37:49] They've started bombing Beirut.
[03:38:03] Dude, what the fuck is going on?
[03:38:05] Why is it 250%?
[03:38:10] Al-Dazir Arab is reporting that the bombing campaign
[03:38:13] in Beirut, the second bombing campaign today,
[03:38:16] has officially started.
[03:38:20] The Israeli air strike in Lebanon is continuing
[03:38:25] after the massive bombing campaign that happened.
[03:38:27] Hassan, quick question, doesn't Lebanon have air defense?
[03:38:29] No, it doesn't.
[03:38:31] No, it does not.
[03:38:34] And this is literally the reason why it does not
[03:38:37] for the record, so that Israel can fucking bomb it
[03:38:39] without any sort of fear.
[03:38:41] OK?
[03:38:42] The only defense Lebanon has is Hezbollah for the record.
[03:38:45] That is the only defense that they have.
[03:39:34] This is the case of the attack on one of the roads in the south of Beirut,
[03:39:40] in the natural state of the point that is standing in it,
[03:39:43] and through the lens of the camera, which is currently being connected to the point where the attack is taking place.
[03:39:48] There was a shooting, and it was a shooting that was facing a point that was specifically targeted.
[03:39:54] How does your English is covering it?
[03:39:56] Earlier today, the largest we've seen, and just in the last few minutes,
[03:39:59] There has been another strike, presumed to be an Israeli strike, on Dahye.
[03:40:04] They have been, you're still seeing the embers and the fire glowing there right at the base
[03:40:09] of that plume of smoke.
[03:40:12] So this is the scene in Dahye, southern capital of Beirut.
[03:40:19] As we speak, it is just 2139 GMT is after midnight local time in Beirut.
[03:40:26] We wanted to show you that.
[03:40:28] But keeping an eye on it, we don't yet have more information on what's happening on the
[03:40:31] ground there, but we will try and gather that information as quickly as we can and bring
[03:40:36] it to you.
[03:40:37] For now, though, we go back to that speech, the Egyptian representative at the United
[03:40:41] Nations.
[03:40:42] So that they can resist on the territory of Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem, despite
[03:40:50] all attempts to expel these people.
[03:40:53] This is a red line for us, which we will not allow to be traversed.
[03:41:00] The estimation from today's attacks so far, the death toll so far I believe is at 700.
[03:41:15] This is the second death toll from, wait what?
[03:41:19] Like the total death toll is at 700.
[03:41:22] Death toll in Israeli strikes on Beirut rises to 6.
[03:41:24] number of people killed at Israel's bombing of Southern Beirut has risen to six with 91 wounded
[03:41:30] Lebanon's health minister said the death toll is likely to rise significantly as the attack brought
[03:41:34] six residential towers in down to the ground the Israeli estimation is 300
[03:41:41] 700 is the total number the total estimate over this
[03:41:45] 700 is the, yeah here it is, more than 700 since September 23rd until today, September 27th,
[03:41:58] and that death toll is expected to skyrocket still.
[03:42:01] What do you mean?
[03:42:09] What lies?
[03:42:10] Yeah, Hezbollah is our only military, we decided we, I'm from Israel, destroy it, but
[03:42:14] it should also be believed to be fine because you don't normally have enemies leaven on,
[03:42:17] nothing unless they surrender or get destroyed.
[03:42:19] What lies?
[03:42:20] Benjamin Ninnyaho claiming that he seeks peace is how he opened up this fucking speech
[03:42:26] After he issued this speech was after he issued a fucking strike in Beirut that happened earlier today
[03:42:35] Here are some videos from the airstrikes so far. This is not the actions of a nation that seeks peace
[03:42:42] This is the actions of a nation that seeks war
[03:42:45] Hey, it's on sorry your healthcare money was just used to scare me for five minutes and make me leave my computer computer for a bit
[03:43:05] it. Yeah, these are de-escalatory first strikes, of course. Leibnz, Rome is precisely what is
[03:43:26] happening here.
[03:43:28] The attack that took place earlier on Friday saw at least six residential buildings being
[03:43:34] completely leveled. So there is a huge presence of emergency crews at that location. Now,
[03:43:41] the latest attack that we're hearing about, it's not clear where exactly in relation
[03:43:45] to the earlier attack happened, but it begs the question, were there any emergency personnel
[03:43:51] in the area? Were there any civilians still there in those buildings that the Israeli
[03:43:57] army has targeted? Now, the areas within Dahir are densely populated. The neighborhood is
[03:44:04] home to about 700,000 people. Over the past seven days, at least this is now would
[03:44:10] be the sixth airstrike that Israel has carried out in this area alone.
[03:44:15] Many people here believe that Israel is now launching a full-scale war on the Lebanese
[03:44:22] people, not just Hezbollah, because these buildings are populated by civilians.
[03:44:28] Israel's claim that they are targeting Hezbollah commanders, Hezbollah command headquarters.
[03:44:34] weapons is being disputed and disregarded because people, civilians are living in these buildings
[03:44:43] caught in between these strikes, the many residents have spoken to over the past few days in Dachy.
[03:44:49] It is clear Israel does not distinguish between a member of Hezbollah and a Lebanese civilian.
[03:44:56] They don't care who they hit is what I was told.
[03:45:00] They are just in the way and they have no regard for human life.
[03:45:06] They will attack continuously until they claim whatever kind of victory they think this is
[03:45:12] going to achieve.
[03:45:13] Now, I have to tell you, over the past hour, we've put an escalation, downtown Bay Road,
[03:45:18] on this.
[03:45:19] Wait, Nikes get, once again, our favorite 15-year-old Mormon chatter who always has
[03:45:25] the worst possible opinion on every issue, so successfully and so consistently.
[03:45:29] I don't know about the wanting land part maybe to use as a buffer zone, but even then it seems really politically rash
[03:45:36] But what is kind of clear is both sides seem to be using the masses placements from bombs as tools of political pressure
[03:45:41] These likely goals being Hezbollah for Gaza and Israel to dissuade Hezbollah
[03:45:45] Yes, they do they want it. They want the land and
[03:45:49] They will use security as a justification for it
[03:45:52] That's it. They always have. There's never been a moment where Israel's like, no, we just want this land for no reason. We just want it because we like the land. They always say, oh, we need this land for security. We need to invade it for security. We need to wipe it out for security.
[03:46:11] And then when the settlers come in, they have to fucking, you know, they have to protect the settlers. And obviously that is going to incur the wrath of the people that used to live on that land.
[03:46:20] live on that land. So then the settlers are under attack. So we need to move further into
[03:46:24] the territory. This is exactly what they did with the West bank. This is how they fucking
[03:46:29] started the process to begin with is really south Lebanon settlement plans. Yeah. I mean
[03:46:58] they, they already, yeah, they already posted it here. The south Lebanon settlement movement
[03:47:06] future is really settlements in occupied Lebanon. These French political ideas end up occupying
[03:47:10] the mainstream of government policy failing to deter this aggression with respect to
[03:47:14] occupied Palestinian territory had allowed for this. Yup. And then they're like, oops.
[03:47:19] How, how could this have happened? How could the right wingers,
[03:47:35] how did the right wing, uh,
[03:47:37] ultra national is like rabid, rabid freaks.
[03:47:42] How did they take over the Israeli government? How could this have happened?
[03:47:45] Then you'll get an assessment from the New York times. You know what I mean?
[03:47:50] You get an assessment piece being right now with the red and white head
[03:48:27] is the
[03:48:36] you know explain in 2001. Yeah.
[03:48:40] He how he uses the pretensive security go zones as a justification for the
[03:48:43] enclosures. It's kind of funny. This is not a leaked video. This is from
[03:48:47] TRT world. Okay. And not only that, but also
[03:48:53] I like that we're back to square one. Once again, these are all the things that I
[03:48:57] had to walk chatters through in the early month
[03:49:01] of October when they were like what what do you mean like Israel has a right to defend
[03:49:05] itself like what are you talking about I don't understand explaining me all this stuff across
[03:49:12] the northern border is there was nothing in there that told us those escalating tensions
[03:49:17] are going to be tamped down in any way in the short term Becky.
[03:49:24] And let me bring in Ben Weederman who is in and Tyre in Lebanon and on his baller
[03:49:30] Benjamin Netanyahu said, and I quote,
[03:49:32] enough is enough.
[03:49:33] We won't rest until our citizens can return safely
[03:49:36] to their homes, echoing what we've heard
[03:49:38] from the defense minister earlier today
[03:49:42] and a state of the Israeli government,
[03:49:47] or certainly the prime minister at this point.
[03:49:49] And what did you make of what you heard?
[03:49:54] Becky, if you take into account what you just said
[03:49:56] and the fact that I don't think I heard
[03:49:58] the word ceasefire once in that speech,
[03:50:02] that clearly Israel is set on its current air campaign
[03:50:07] and perhaps a ground incursion to try to push Hezbollah back.
[03:50:12] Now, for instance, he did say that Hezbollah has a missile
[03:50:15] in every kitchen and a rocket in every garage.
[03:50:19] That sort of sends a rather alarming message to people
[03:50:22] here because the fact of the matter is in south Lebanon,
[03:50:25] there is not a missile in every kitchen and a rocket
[03:50:28] in every garage.
[03:50:29] But this seems to indicate that Israel considers every house, every kitchen, every garage to
[03:50:35] be a legitimate target.
[03:50:38] But broadly speaking, this was classic Netanyahu in which he divides the world into black and
[03:50:44] white, good and evil.
[03:50:47] He talks about the curse.
[03:50:48] And of course, we're in Lebanon, which is part of that curse.
[03:50:51] I think people would scratch their heads a bit, because the fact of the matter
[03:50:55] is the Middle East is an area of grays.
[03:50:59] There's no black and white certainly take into consideration that Israel has occupied
[03:51:05] the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and essentially occupied Gaza, despite the
[03:51:13] fact that settlers pulled out in 2005.
[03:51:16] That is an open wound in the region that Israel has not really done much to treat.
[03:51:24] There was a peace process at one point, but that didn't go anywhere.
[03:51:28] And certainly the rhetoric that comes out of Israel from some of the extremists sends
[03:51:34] a very dark message to the region that this is not necessarily a question of good and
[03:51:39] evil.
[03:51:40] That there are extremists on both sides of the conflict.
[03:51:44] And those extremists on both sides are really the ones who are driving this conflict forward.
[03:51:51] And what we're seeing increasingly is that the United States, under the current administration
[03:51:56] in this election season in the United States has really just put the Middle East on a back
[03:52:02] burner, throwing lots of rhetoric and encouraging words about diplomacy and peace in the Middle
[03:52:08] East and whatnot.
[03:52:10] But the fact of the matter is very little is actually being done about it.
[03:52:14] The U.S. and France put forward what they called was a ceasefire proposal.
[03:52:19] But it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
[03:52:21] every day in Gaza in Lebanon more people are dying more people are being
[03:52:28] killed Becky. Gosh, let me bring you in here before I also ask for some some
[03:52:38] analysis from from Gideon and on the issue of Gaza very specifically he
[03:52:46] He said there is no substitute for total victory in Gaza.
[03:52:50] He said, we do not seek to resettle Gaza.
[03:52:54] We seek to de-radicalize it.
[03:52:56] We're focused on mapping up the remaining.
[03:52:59] That right there.
[03:53:05] I guess it's not too much of a fucking attitude shift here, but seeing my fucking goat prominently
[03:53:15] displayed in a conversation about Israel on CNN you know what they talking about you rewind
[03:53:27] like one what the fuck Hassan's channel Hassan Abbey channel globally on twitch as of august
[03:53:39] 2024 yeah it's the it's it there they're streaming it on NBC on TV I guess yeah this is the NBC
[03:53:47] broadcast that we watched already, that we reacted to?
[03:53:52] The elements of Hamas and let them go, he said of the hostages, those who are alive
[03:53:59] must be returned alive and the remains of those who are dead must be returned.
[03:54:04] There is no substitute and I repeat this for total victory in Gaza.
[03:54:09] So we're just sort of describing some of what, or reliving as it were, some of what
[03:54:15] a very defiant Benjamin Netanyahu has just said at the UN in New York.
[03:54:22] On the issue of Gaza, what do you take out of what you've just heard?
[03:54:26] Listen, Netanyahu is living in a world of delusion.
[03:54:31] There is no total victory in Gaza, and there is a deal on the table.
[03:54:35] And this is what the world needs to understand.
[03:54:37] This is what the Americans need to know.
[03:54:38] They know it.
[03:54:39] They've seen the deal.
[03:54:41] Hamas has agreed to a three-week deal during which time the war would end, Israel would
[03:54:46] evacuate Gaza, there would be an agreed upon release to Palestinian prisoners, and Hamas
[03:54:51] will return all of the hostages.
[03:54:54] This is not only a deal on the ceasefire, but Hamas has also agreed that they are supporting
[03:55:00] the establishment of a civilian, technocratic, professional government in Gaza, of which
[03:55:05] they will not have a part of.
[03:55:07] are willing for this government to be empowered because they know that if they rule Gaza there
[03:55:12] won't be a single dollar of international aid going into rebuild Gaza and Gaza is destroyed.
[03:55:17] There's nothing left in Gaza. Two million homeless people, disease, devastation, no sanitation,
[03:55:23] no freshwater, no schools, no universities, nothing. Gaza needs to be rebuilt and it needs
[03:55:29] a responsible Palestinian government. Remember this seems if this spells is like a like a tiny
[03:55:35] bit change of attitude in the right direction, understand that this is the, the basically
[03:55:41] the international correspondent, like until Jake Tapper has fucking Gideon Levy and this
[03:55:49] guy on or Wolf Blitzer has Gideon Levy and this guy on, you're not, you know, it's
[03:55:59] not, I mean, it's better.
[03:56:01] It's better than before, but once again, it's like, this is far from this, like
[03:56:06] Christian Amanpour, right? Like she always has, like the most acceptable anti-Israel
[03:56:14] position you can arrive at. It's not seen as international, but like it's the early hours
[03:56:22] of the day usually.
[03:56:23] I'm going to do it. Now, we ask to mass, if they're talking about turning over internal
[03:56:27] security and their weapons to the new civilian professional technocratic government, and
[03:56:31] they said yes. But what I say to the Americans, to the Israelis, to everyone is don't
[03:56:36] listen to me. This is on the table. I have it in writing. I have voice messages from
[03:56:41] my mom saying it. The officials need to check it. And President Biden needs to
[03:56:46] understand in his final months in office that his legacy is either going to be the
[03:56:51] war in Gaza or ending the war in Gaza. And we all know that the day that the
[03:56:56] war in Gaza ends, the war in Lebanon ends, and we need to get into the
[03:57:00] diplomatic path. There is no solution to this conflict without the freedom of
[03:57:05] Palestine, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state next to Israel, the realization
[03:57:10] of the two-state solution, this is the way forward, and this is the way to defeat extremists,
[03:57:16] not through weapons, not through wars, not through killing.
[03:57:19] Gideon, your thoughts.
[03:57:27] It was so embarrassing, Becky, embarrassing and pathetic, because Netanyahu is a good
[03:57:33] speaker, no doubt about this, a very impressive one.
[03:57:37] But today I think he reached one of the lowest point of Israeli propaganda.
[03:57:42] To speak about blessing in the Middle East, after killing over 40,000 people in Gaza and
[03:57:49] distracting Gaza, and to bring Gaza to a stage in which it's nothing but the humanitarian
[03:57:58] catastrophe and to speak about blessing, by the time that you stand on the stage
[03:58:04] on the podium of the U.A. and your army is coming.
[03:58:09] Netanyahu used the UN assembly as a tactic?
[03:58:12] Yeah, no shit.
[03:58:13] I'm seeing reports like these circulating Israeli media.
[03:58:15] It seems like Netanyahu attended the UN General Assembly was a part of the deception.
[03:58:19] Israeli source Netanyahu's speech at UN meant to broadcast business as usual, despite
[03:58:22] Beirut operation being approved to advance.
[03:58:24] Yeah, this is precisely what he did.
[03:58:27] It's like, that was the whole point, yes.
[03:58:33] That is precisely what the point was.
[03:58:35] And it's also a flex, by the way, okay?
[03:58:41] It is simply a flex that is all this is.
[03:58:44] It is to say like, I will fucking strike this unjustifiable attack on a sovereign nation's
[03:58:52] capital from the heart of American democracy at the UN General Assembly, okay?
[03:59:01] And you can't do a goddamn thing about it.
[03:59:06] They're all acting like Hamas had nothing to do with it though.
[03:59:09] dude please tell me you don't fucking you're not gonna make the argument that
[03:59:13] Hamas is in Beirut now no dude the updated talking points are it's
[03:59:20] Hezbollah not Hamas we've moved on Israel is already doing his genocide it's on
[03:59:27] autopilot in Gaza it's now Hamas unless you're trying to give me a fucking
[03:59:33] top of the hour ad break debate right now okay which double parters are banned
[03:59:38] and in the broadcast you will be getting banned if that is your attempt here okay because at
[03:59:48] the top of the hour there's a through manabra if you no longer want to see those ads all
[03:59:51] you need to do is subscribe which you can do for $4 or for fruit which prime by connecting
[03:59:56] Amazon Prime account to your Twitch account where you get one free Prime subscription
[04:00:00] a month user and a favorite broadcast there Hassan Abi okay here's the through manabra
[04:00:18] now. If there's any risk that Israel's ex escalation with Lebanon means that Gaza
[04:00:25] ceasefire won't be able to stop the conflict. It won't put with 11 people
[04:00:28] and their needs enter the conversation. There is no
[04:00:32] care or consideration for the Lebanese people. They're just in the way.
[04:00:35] They happen to be under the bombs that's in you and to kill
[04:00:39] both in Lebanon and in Gaza. And you speak about blessing.
[04:00:43] You know, he spoke about their radicalizing Gaza and the militarizing
[04:00:48] Gaza. What about the radicalization of Israel? Netanyahu is today hostage of the most radical
[04:00:57] fascist partners in his coalition. What about the radicalizing Israel?
[04:01:03] This kind of anti-Semitism being in full display at CNN of all places. Oh, I'd never see the
[04:01:11] day man how anti-Semitic of you Gideon you've done did it again as you guys know Gideon Levy
[04:01:18] famous famous name for a Christian man or worse than a Christian a Muslim man the the classic
[04:01:28] Arab Muslim Gideon Levy doing the classic Arab Muslim anti-Semitism that he's known for it seems
[04:01:36] Things like CNN headquarters are also Hamas now.
[04:01:44] In the last year speaks only in one language, the language of force, the language of brutality,
[04:01:51] many times the language of barbarism.
[04:01:54] Where is the ceasefire?
[04:01:55] You don't speak about the ceasefire at all.
[04:01:57] You don't mention it once.
[04:01:59] How are you going to finish those two very cruel wars without even mentioning their
[04:02:09] ceasefire?
[04:02:10] What one more sentence I was really interested. Yeah, go on go on get in and then the decoration of the of the hostages
[04:02:20] Really a decoration
[04:02:22] He could have released those hostages one year ago ten months ago eight months ago most of them
[04:02:28] He wasn't ready for this now to stand in the UN and to use them as
[04:02:33] as a slogan, as a decoration for his speech,
[04:02:37] ask the families what they think about him.
[04:02:40] Ask experts who know that we missed so many opportunities to release them.
[04:02:46] So really, for many months, over years, I was accused as a bibis,
[04:02:51] as a supporter of Netanyahu, which is not exactly the case,
[04:02:55] but that's not important now.
[04:02:57] But today I really felt embarrassed.
[04:03:00] This was the lowest propaganda, the cheapest propaganda, which doesn't serve Israel, I mean.
[04:03:08] To the corruption scandal surrounding New York City's Mayor Eric Adams, he's appearing
[04:03:12] court to face federal charges, and our senior investigative correspondent Eric Katertursky
[04:03:16] is at the courthouse for us.
[04:03:17] Good morning, Erin.
[04:03:18] Good morning to you, Michael.
[04:03:21] Mayor Adams is due to turn himself in here at noon after federal prosecutors accused
[04:03:25] him of engaging in a long-running conspiracy to take bribes.
[04:03:28] This morning, Eric Adams defiant after he became the first sitting mayor of New York
[04:03:36] to be charged with crimes.
[04:03:37] There's no corruption.
[04:03:38] This is not a real case.
[04:03:39] We're going to see everybody in court.
[04:03:42] The five-count indictment tells a fulsome story of alleged bribery, fraud and cover-ups.
[04:03:46] The mayor is accused of taking more than $100,000 in graft, including stays in these
[04:03:51] high-end hotel suites and business-class travel in exchange for using his influence
[04:03:56] to help Turkey.
[04:03:57] These are bright red lines, and realize that the mayor crossed them again and again for
[04:04:03] years.
[04:04:04] The indictment quotes a message from a Turkish businessman to someone working for Adams.
[04:04:07] I think I can raise money for your campaign off the record.
[04:04:11] Max 100K.
[04:04:12] The staffer responded, 100K, do you have a chance to transfer that here?
[04:04:17] We can't do it while Eric is in Turkey.
[04:04:19] And when the staffer asked Adams whether to move forward, the indictment says Adams
[04:04:23] directed the staffer to pursue the illegal scheme.
[04:04:27] Mayors defense providing other messages including this one from Adams telling a staff member we guys we are just lovers, okay
[04:04:34] stop
[04:04:36] Eric Adams is and I have no other words to explain his position in my life a sexual dynamo
[04:04:45] okay
[04:04:47] That's simply what it is
[04:04:49] And I'm sorry
[04:04:51] If you got a hot piece of ass like that, you're not going to fucking, you're going to do whatever you can to maintain it.
[04:04:58] And sometimes that means giving him bribes, okay? But these are not bribes.
[04:05:03] These are not bribes that I gave him for, you know, whatever, whatever kind of favor is the New York state or the New York mayor's office could give me back.
[04:05:16] It was so that we could keep having sex, okay?
[04:05:20] Can't take any money from people who are not U.S. citizens.
[04:05:28] Prosecutors alleged Turkish official came to Adams in 2021 telling him that it was his
[04:05:32] turn to help.
[04:05:34] Turkey was about to open a new consulate on Manhattan's east side and wanted Adams
[04:05:37] to rush the fire department's safety inspection.
[04:05:40] Despite concerns, the building was not safe to occupy.
[04:05:44] A fire chief complied, the indictment says, fearing he and others would lose their
[04:05:47] jobs if they crossed Adams.
[04:05:50] They got out of the way and let the building open.
[04:05:53] the Turkish official got what he wanted.
[04:05:55] For weeks, several members of the Adams...
[04:05:58] Okay.
[04:05:59] First of all, it takes a long time
[04:06:05] to do fire safety inspections.
[04:06:06] Who cares about fire safety inspections anyway?
[04:06:13] I'm just saying, like, it's not...
[04:06:16] Is it really all that big of a deal
[04:06:20] to do fire safety inspections?
[04:06:21] I mean, come on, what is this communist China?
[04:06:24] Who cares?
[04:06:26] I hate the nanny state.
[04:06:33] It is unacceptable what these guys were demanding, you know?
[04:06:40] This administration had been subject to federal scrutiny with some stepping down.
[04:06:44] Now Adams is facing calls from fellow Democrats to do the same.
[04:06:48] Frankly, under this constant stream of scandal, I do not know if the city will be able to even name replacements for all of these resignations and vacancies at this point.
[04:07:00] Adams insists he's staying put.
[04:07:02] When Adam surrenders here, George, he will be the first sitting mayor of New York to
[04:07:13] set foot in a courthouse as a criminal defendant.
[04:07:17] Federal prosecutors have pledged to keep digging and promised to hold more people accountable.
[04:07:21] Yeah, test-giddy says he charges.
[04:07:22] Okay, thanks very much.
[04:07:24] Breaking news now.
[04:07:25] New York City's Mayor Eric Adams is speaking now after pleading not guilty to accepting
[04:07:29] bryge and illegal campaign contributions is giving remarks outside that courthouse let's
[04:07:34] listen but the spectacle of this so exciting to them that they wanted to bring another
[04:07:38] one of these cases this case isn't even a real case i didn't realize loving turkey was
[04:07:43] illegal okay i'm sorry it seems kind of crazy that they've officially made it illegal
[04:07:58] to love Turkey the nation. Very fucked up. Sad state of affairs. This is the airline
[04:08:12] upgrade corruption case. The third thing we said is that we demand that they bring
[04:08:17] exculpatory information in the discovery to court on Wednesday. As you know from looking
[04:08:23] at the indictment and from what happened in court, there are no emails, text messages
[04:08:29] Is there any corroboration whatsoever that the mayor knew about anything having to do
[04:08:33] with these campaign donations?
[04:08:36] The entire body of evidence is one staffer.
[04:08:40] I think the funniest argument to make in this situation is that he did not have knowledge
[04:08:46] over the law because like the text messages very clearly show that he did know it was
[04:08:55] illegal and try to take like the shittiest the absolute shittiest measures against it
[04:09:05] to basically hide his fucking footsteps
[04:09:10] like barely but he still did he still tried not that it fucking matters obviously the the
[04:09:26] like just because you don't know something is illegal doesn't mean that you know you get
[04:09:30] away with it. But in this circumstance, it absolutely doesn't even matter because there's
[04:09:37] plenty of evidence to prove that he had full blown knowledge of the illegality,
[04:09:45] including but not limited to the attempts of hiding these actions.
[04:10:01] One staffer that says there was a conversation. What you have not learned is that that staffer
[04:10:09] has lied. And the government is in possession of that lie. When that staffer was first interviewed,
[04:10:16] that staffer said that Mayor Adams knew nothing about this. He was not involved in this and
[04:10:21] that he is innocent. They have that information. They have not turned that over to us. They
[04:10:26] have not turned that over to you. And so it sort of does not surprise us that they
[04:10:31] did not answer any questions at that press conference. They're a little press conference
[04:10:35] the other day. They have no answer for any of these questions. And they didn't
[04:10:41] want to stick around from questions either. Questions like, why are they doing
[04:10:45] this? Why are they targeting him? The questions you all started to ask as they
[04:10:49] were leaving. They normally answer questions. They didn't want to stay for
[04:10:52] questions in this case. And they left and they made this assertion of this.
[04:10:56] They implied that somehow he's disappointing people or that people
[04:11:00] ought to be disappointed in him. It's not him doing this. It's the
[04:11:04] the government that everybody should be disappointed in bringing this case against
[04:11:08] the sitting mayor. I don't have anything further today. Um, and thank you all.
[04:11:13] If hope to call the need to resign, will you just heard from the attorney
[04:11:22] for Eric Adams calling this not a real, his biggest crime is that he didn't
[04:11:27] do this with Israel. Honestly, if he did everything would be above board.
[04:11:33] As a matter of fact, he probably did do this with Israel, too. It's not
[04:11:36] even in the news.
[04:11:37] Okay, so referring to charges brought against a New York City mayor for alleged bribery
[04:11:59] and other related charges, his attorney is calling this the airline upgrade corruption
[04:12:04] case implying that the allegations are false and that the case is being brought for reasons
[04:12:10] unknown.
[04:12:11] I want to talk a little bit more about this case coming up.
[04:12:14] We will hear more from the mayor and those reporting on this case.
[04:12:18] We're going to turn now to the presidential race where the candidates have been
[04:12:21] attacking each other's policies on border security and Ukraine.
[04:12:24] And today, Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Arizona, where the plan is to visit
[04:12:29] the U.S.-Mexico border, something she has not done in more than three years.
[04:12:33] Ed O'Keefe is at the border himself.
[04:12:35] He's in the town of Douglas, Arizona.
[04:12:37] Ed, good morning.
[04:12:38] Tony, good to see you.
[04:12:40] Early in the Biden administration, Vice President Harris was put in charge of addressing the
[04:12:44] root causes of immigration from Central America, not dealing with border security
[04:12:49] as Republican critics claim. As you said, this is just her second visit to the border
[04:12:53] as Vice President, and the goal is to cut into former President Donald Trump's edge
[04:12:58] on border security and immigration.
[04:13:00] Great.
[04:13:01] The day before her trip, former President Donald Trump condemned Vice President Kamala Harris
[04:13:05] for her visit to the U.S.-Mexico border, and blamed her for millions of illegal
[04:13:10] border crossings.
[04:13:12] She keeps talking about how she supposedly wants to fix the border. We would merely
[04:13:18] ask why didn't she do it four years ago.
[04:13:21] But the Harris campaign is now leaning in, releasing this new ad set to air in Arizona
[04:13:26] and other battleground states.
[04:13:28] We need a leader with a real plan to fix the border.
[04:13:32] She plans to go after Trump today for his pardon blocking a bipartisan border security
[04:13:36] and immigration bill earlier this year.
[04:13:39] Donald Trump got word of the bill, realized it was going to fix the problem he wanted
[04:13:43] to run on and told him to kill the bill.
[04:13:46] While their disagreements over the border aren't new, there's fresh differences between
[04:13:50] them over the war in Ukraine.
[04:13:52] At the White House Thursday, Harris met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and
[04:13:56] vowed continued support in his fight against Russia.
[04:13:59] My support for the people of Ukraine is unwavering.
[04:14:03] Earlier in the week, Trump lashed out at Zelensky.
[04:14:06] We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to...
[04:14:11] They are not proposals for peace.
[04:14:14] Instead, they are proposals for surrender.
[04:14:18] And on Thursday, he hit back.
[04:14:21] It's not a surrender.
[04:14:23] What my strategy is to save lives.
[04:14:28] Back in New York, former President Trump is set to meet with President Zelensky at Trump
[04:14:32] Tower before heading off to a campaign event in Michigan.
[04:14:35] The vice president is set to be here this afternoon.
[04:14:37] She will meet with Customs and Border Patrol officials, get a tour, and then speak
[04:14:41] out on why it is she supports that bipartisan border bill that was scuttled earlier
[04:14:45] this year.
[04:14:46] All right, thank you very much.
[04:14:48] Well, thank you very much.
[04:14:51] It's an honor to have the president with us.
[04:14:56] Zelensky is so fucking cocked.
[04:14:58] He just has to sit there and be like, yes, Mr. President, you are right.
[04:15:04] We must do whatever you think is best.
[04:15:09] A senior Harris campaign officials gave Gutierrez and Kelly O.
[04:15:14] that Kamala Harris tonight will propose tightening asylum restrictions even further than Biden has.
[04:15:18] That is in keeping with the significant and ongoing shift by Democrats on border policy.
[04:15:23] Pog! Biden told Confidavis in New York this week that he was livid at Netanyahu and did not
[04:15:41] believe the Israeli leader wanted to reach peace. He was frustrated with how often Netanyahu had
[04:15:44] humiliated Biden, Blinken and the president himself. Okay, then fucking kill yourself
[04:15:49] because that's the only thing you can do to keep this room happening to you besides
[04:15:53] cutting off weapons and you're never doing that. Every article that is written about how fucking
[04:15:59] angry Biden is about how big of a meanie-bobini Benjamin Nenyeahu is is so funny because it's like
[04:16:05] wow I can't believe that fucking happened dude what no Biden is angry that Benjamin Nenyeahu did
[04:16:14] exactly what he's been doing since day one especially when every single time he does it
[04:16:22] you keep giving him more weapons for some weird reason?
[04:16:32] Well, I for one would like to be the first to say,
[04:16:36] I'm shocked.
[04:16:38] I'm disappointed too.
[04:16:52] Everything, you notice that everything that's happening
[04:16:59] is getting increasingly worse.
[04:17:07] Straight up, Kamala Harris signaling that she will be even more right-wing
[04:17:12] and tighten the restrictions even further on immigration
[04:17:17] to respond to calls from like the most reactionary white nativist people who are
[04:17:25] trying to do pogroms. You get to you get to watch something happen in real time,
[04:17:30] something that I talk about regularly, but it often never happens in real time.
[04:17:35] Remember when I told you like, oh, like the hypothetical scenario where Republicans say we
[04:17:40] need to kill like, you know, 70% of all migrants living on US soil and the Democrats will say,
[04:17:45] oh no let's kill 30% and then people will make the harm reduction argument. It's a really interesting
[04:17:56] situation because you're now like openly watching it happen in real time like the change of discourse
[04:18:02] and the change of attitude and it's very cool to watch all of these like liberals who are supposedly
[04:18:09] progressive who talked about like in this house we care about immigrants and black lives matter
[04:18:14] basically become Republicans of 2020. Such a doomer take. Yeah, dude, I'm such a doomer
[04:18:21] for this fucking take. You know, sorry that I'm not going to fucking sit here and tell
[04:18:27] you a lullaby. Can you tell us about that? Well, we saw at least a couple of barraids
[04:18:35] with tens of rockets being launched towards Israel. And of course, this is just in the
[04:18:42] past few hours but since then there have been no other strikes. It's understood that currently
[04:18:50] the organization or the group is in a situation where it's kind of weighing options, trying
[04:18:56] to bring together its structure. The hit was probably, regardless of what's the result
[04:19:04] of this hit, but it was massive in a way that the whole group is already concentrating,
[04:19:10] focusing on how to just get across it, to just jump over its scale, try to bring together
[04:19:19] back its own power. I mean, at the end, this is a control center. It's a command center,
[04:19:25] regardless. Now, we don't have any walls from Hezbollah in this. Hezbollah has been silent
[04:19:30] for the past hours. At least what I understood from some conversations that the head of the
[04:19:36] executive branch of the party, S. H. M. Safideen is safe. Now, with respect to S. Hassan Asrallah,
[04:19:44] there's no word because, of course, his fate is part of, it has a security situation and such a
[04:19:52] thing, whether he is alive or not, this is something that the leadership would want to
[04:19:57] announce by itself, or he himself would, I mean, if he's alive to announce it. This is
[04:20:02] something else but for now there is a gap in communication between the group and its supporters
[04:20:09] and of course the wider Lebanese this is another one also so we're just talking about series of
[04:20:16] attacks series of airstrikes that are not finishing from one moment to another just hearing
[04:20:24] from the towns and villages and even the entrance of Tyre as I've just said.
[04:20:29] Ali, can I jump in for a second, since this is happening now.
[04:20:34] Ali, just a second, since this is happening now,
[04:20:37] and you are hearing the sound,
[04:20:39] and you can tell that there are targets,
[04:20:42] places being struck in the not too far behind you.
[04:20:47] You have covered the cross-border shelling,
[04:20:51] and you have covered this part of Lebanon for almost a year.
[04:20:56] What kind of places? You have been to the immediate aftermath of these strikes multiple times.
[04:21:02] Can you describe what that's like? What kind of places Israel strikes and what you have found when you have then gone to those places?
[04:21:08] Well, at least I can give an example of the massacre that was committed in Nabatae just a few weeks ago when we went to a factory, a metal factory that was hit.
[04:21:23] that was hit, and 10 people were killed, children, women.
[04:21:27] The issue is that the Israelis are announcing certain objectives, and when we go to the ground
[04:21:32] there, and most, I can't say every time, but several occasions we see something else
[04:21:39] on the ground.
[04:21:40] This is the issue.
[04:21:41] And this is just reflecting the indiscriminate attacks and shelling on the airstrikes or,
[04:21:49] You know, the attacks that are being carried out by Israel aren't any—they say they are
[04:21:55] precise, but on many occasions they do not seem to be precise.
[04:21:59] We just saw what happened in Dahi a few days ago, when they hit a couple of buildings.
[04:22:05] And till the moment, there are even some people missing, more than 50 people killed.
[04:22:10] And today's attack in Dahi also just erased a whole block.
[04:22:15] And there's no yet final say on the number of people killed, how many civilians you can
[04:22:23] just refer to the number of people killed during the past days that was announced by the, another
[04:22:30] strike now was announced by the Ministry of Health, another one also.
[04:22:36] So the fact is that we're just witnessing a series of strikes, a series of hits.
[04:22:47] Not only in Tahrir, Tahrir is just one of these cities that is witnessing this Israeli
[04:22:53] war.
[04:22:54] It's a war.
[04:22:55] I mean, if there is any other war to describe what's happening, it's a war.
[04:23:01] in all-out war that Israel has started, not today, but a few days ago.
[04:23:07] But today is kind of the accumulation of the announcement of war.
[04:23:11] And we are seeing this, whether in Bahia, whether in Tahrir, whether in Nabataia,
[04:23:15] whether in Baal-Bakht or the Beqaq Valley.
[04:23:18] And so I'm not sure what Israel now is anticipating.
[04:23:24] Of course, everyone is waiting to see how Hezbollah is going to react to this
[04:23:28] and whether Hezbollah is going to respond to this.
[04:23:31] But I think that Hezbollah has no other option but to respond.
[04:23:35] This is at least what we understand from what they've been saying
[04:23:39] over the past days, over the past months.
[04:23:41] This was a front that was linked to the war in Gaza.
[04:23:45] And Hezbollah said this is a support front.
[04:23:47] And you remember when we started covering this war,
[04:23:50] it was kind of limited to around four or five kilometers on both sides.
[04:23:55] You could tell what motherfucker is a Lebanese reporter on whichever side of the conflict they're on
[04:24:02] by the fact that you hear like secondary exposures this shit he's just like not even phased by it
[04:24:07] and then it's starting day after day objective started changing and Israel now is putting a main
[04:24:14] objective which is clear destroying Hezbollah. Yeah Ali look thank you very much for walking
[04:24:22] us through that. It's past 1 a.m. I believe where you are. You're in southern Lebanon
[04:24:26] entire. We heard very clearly multiple strikes, the impact and the detonation of what must
[04:24:33] be Israeli strikes behind you. Thanks. You and your team stay safe and we will continue
[04:24:40] to come to you. Now let's take a closer look at the location of Israel's latest attacks
[04:24:44] on southern Beirut. Dahye is a densely populated suburb in the south of the city
[04:24:49] home to about 700,000 people. The neighborhood was largely destroyed by the Israeli military
[04:24:55] during the 2006 war in Lebanon. The suburb of Dahye has been hit by Israeli air strikes
[04:25:00] five times just this week. The Israeli army has killed at least two Hezbollah commanders
[04:25:05] in its strikes. Dozens of civilians have also been killed in these attacks.
[04:25:09] Officer Oliver Marsden is in Beirut for us. What's the latest, Oliver?
[04:25:13] Good evening. So, there have been multiple strikes here on the Dahye, the southern
[04:25:22] suburb of Beirut in the capital of Lebanon. That started this evening around 6pm with
[04:25:28] this massive airstrike, multiple bunker-busting missiles fired at this densely populated
[04:25:34] residential area in the south of Beirut. Now the Israeli army, the Israeli military
[04:25:39] are saying that they were targeting the central command center of Hezbollah, but
[04:25:43] there has been no official word from Hezbollah and we have no way of independently verifying
[04:25:47] this and the Israeli military has provided no proof of this. But what we do know
[04:25:51] is that this is a very densely populated area.
[04:25:54] There are civilians.
[04:25:55] And I actually had one person who I spoke to on the phone
[04:25:58] after the strike who was in a complete state of panic.
[04:26:02] And he was telling me he grabbed his papers, his passports.
[04:26:05] He lived just a few buildings down from the strike site.
[04:26:07] And he ran out into the street.
[04:26:08] And he was trying to find his sister.
[04:26:10] Desperately trying to find the sister.
[04:26:11] He couldn't find her.
[04:26:13] Eventually, he did find her.
[04:26:14] But she'd been hit by some metal.
[04:26:16] And luckily, she survived.
[04:26:18] And now they are struggling.
[04:26:19] Like many residents of Dahye to find somewhere to stay outside of that neighborhood.
[04:26:24] And it's a very tense situation here in Beirut right now.
[04:26:28] So as far as you know, again, we said this is a massive suburb, 700,000 people,
[04:26:34] or many people leaving Dahye at the moment in the middle of the night.
[04:26:42] Many people are leaving. They're not just leaving Dahye,
[04:26:44] they're leaving the area of Leilaki and Haddaq, again,
[04:26:48] southern neighborhoods around the Dahye.
[04:26:51] And they're leaving, but they're coming to hotels
[04:26:54] which have already been completely filled up
[04:26:57] by at least like 90,000 displaced residents from the South.
[04:27:01] These hotels are full.
[04:27:02] I've actually witnessed people coming from the D'Ahi'i
[04:27:05] to hotels here in downtown Beirut and being turned away.
[04:27:09] I've heard reports that there are people lining up
[04:27:13] their cars along the seafront, along the Corniche,
[04:27:16] hoping to just sleep there tonight
[04:27:17] because there's nowhere to go
[04:27:19] after these wave, after wave, after wave of strikes by the Israeli military across Lebanon
[04:27:25] just over the last week.
[04:27:28] So it's a very confusing, a very tense time, and I think it goes to show that Israel has
[04:27:34] decided to very much back away from the negotiating table, and this 21-day ceasefire that many
[04:27:39] people here in Lebanon were hoping for is looking very, very unlikely.
[04:27:43] Oliver, I don't know if there's a good or adequate answer to this at this point,
[04:27:47] But what, I think for our viewers it's important to understand what would be a reasonable expectation
[04:27:53] as to how Hezbollah is going to communicate, because there's an open question on whether
[04:27:58] or not Hassan Nasrallah was directly targeted.
[04:28:01] It appears that he was the leader of Hezbollah.
[04:28:03] But the more important open question is whether or not he has been killed.
[04:28:09] What when, I know we don't have a timeframe, but what would be the typical way for Hezbollah
[04:28:13] to communicate on something as big as this.
[04:28:21] Usually when there is a strike of this magnitude and an event like this, we would often hear
[04:28:27] I would say within 24 hours from the Hezbollah media department, they often put out statements.
[04:28:33] As you say, there's really no way of knowing right now this is an unprecedented attack.
[04:28:37] Nothing has been this large in Beirut since the 2006 war, apart from the non-nuclear
[04:28:43] explosion in the port. But this is an attack on a different scale on a very
[04:28:49] densely populated civilian area in the south of Beirut multiple airstrikes
[04:28:53] tonight. So in terms of communication there's very little I can say right now
[04:28:57] there's very little we know. I'm sure we will be hearing something in the next
[04:29:01] 24 hours and many people in Lebanon will be listening very closely for that.
[04:29:05] Would you say that the mood in Beirut and beyond has changed since that
[04:29:11] strike? Of course. And as I said, I've seen people arriving here into downtown Beirut,
[04:29:22] just in the center of Beirut, looking... One thing I want to repeat to people is that all of the
[04:29:27] fucking Israel defenders on the timeline were talking about how fantastic this operation was,
[04:29:32] and how brilliant and technical it was when they were talking about the page.
[04:29:40] And they kept repeating like, uh, excuse me, what do you expect them to do? Like,
[04:29:46] Like you're calling that an act of terror, but like it was so targeted and so precise.
[04:29:52] Like what?
[04:29:53] What if they bombed it like it's so much better than carpet bombing Beirut, right?
[04:30:00] And now they have carpet bombed Beirut.
[04:30:02] So where are all those people who said, oh, well, that would be unconscionable?
[04:30:11] As expected, they're literally defending the carpet bombing of Beirut.
[04:30:15] So never have a conversation with these fucking idiots about like, what their morality is.
[04:30:22] Okay.
[04:30:23] They don't care.
[04:30:24] They don't care.
[04:30:25] They just want to defend Israel.
[04:30:26] That's all it is.
[04:30:38] Please stop.
[04:30:39] Like these fucking, shut the fuck up.
[04:30:42] God damn federal agent ass motherfuckers.
[04:30:44] Wallahi.
[04:30:45] They will send the suicide bombers of the Zionist soon.
[04:30:47] You're just writing this in the chat before you get fucking banned so you can screenshot
[04:30:52] and post about how fucking anti-semitic this community is. Like get the fuck out of here,
[04:30:57] goddamn baboon dude. Holy shit, fucking dumbass freak dude. How? Why?
[04:31:09] But at this point you should understand that like this shit's not gonna work, okay?
[04:31:13] Motherfuckers have been calling me a goddamn terrorist since day one. You think that
[04:31:17] shit matters. No, most people at least, at least in positions of power, most people are
[04:31:24] not as brainbroken as like the hyper online, the hyper online diphthins, broasted suicide
[04:31:30] problems, exactly. Like for so many, for so many of these people, they literally think,
[04:31:40] they literally think like, no, no, you don't understand, like members of the media will
[04:31:44] also be just as angry as we are that like he said cracker. Okay, because that's all you
[04:31:51] know. That's all you've seen from your hyper specific, extremely niche, hyper online group
[04:32:00] that keeps telling you like no, everyone is just as mad as you are about this. Like nobody
[04:32:05] gives a fuck dude, shut up. Unless you are a rabid ultra Zionist of some sort. Assuming
[04:32:15] that I, in any way, shape or form, allow like, anti-Semezas to continue in this fucking chat
[04:32:20] is ridiculous.
[04:32:23] It's something that I have fought against for years and years and still continue to do
[04:32:28] so, okay?
[04:32:29] Shut the fuck up, worry about your own community, where you got like actual fucking literal
[04:32:34] Nazis in there.
[04:32:35] So it was the same virtue signaling shit from right wingers, they were so annoying.
[04:32:42] I know you can't see it, but it's on the center of all our screens, and we have
[04:32:45] We've just seen a flash of light on this cityscape of Dahye, the suburb of Beirut that
[04:32:50] we've been watching live for quite a while now.
[04:32:53] So as a reminder, the last few hours has seen the following sequence of events.
[04:32:57] A massive strike on what Israel says is a Hezbollah command and control center in Dahye.
[04:33:04] Again, Dahye is not a military camp.
[04:33:06] It is considered a Hezbollah stronghold, but it's not a military camp.
[04:33:09] It's a suburb of a capital city.
[04:33:11] 700,000 people live there.
[04:33:13] Six to seven buildings.
[04:33:15] We understand from our correspondent came down as a result of that strike.
[04:33:19] There is an untold number of civilians in those buildings when they came down.
[04:33:23] We do not know yet what the real death toll from that strike was.
[04:33:26] That was a couple hours ago.
[04:33:28] Then we saw in the last 90 minutes.
[04:33:29] They needed a bid dishonestly to ignore that North Syrians and Lebanese are celebrating
[04:33:33] tonight.
[04:33:34] Everyone has designed this bid.
[04:33:35] It's too easy.
[04:33:36] Oh, I'm sorry.
[04:33:37] I'm sorry.
[04:33:38] I didn't fucking factor enough of the people that don't like Hezbollah in fucking
[04:33:44] Syria and how they factored into the equation. Instead, I'm talking about hundreds of fucking
[04:33:49] people that are currently living under rubble as Israel is currently still continuously bombing
[04:33:55] Dahia. Wow, dude, I can't believe I didn't bring that shit up. Everyone is a Zionist. No, like,
[04:34:02] shut the fuck up. How do you, bro, you have nothing. You have nothing. You have no counter.
[04:34:06] You're like, look away from the explosion that you're watching that happened in real time.
[04:34:10] And and think about this year
[04:34:13] All my life I was born and I don't do a fuck who's celebrating asshole hundreds of civilians are under fucking rubble right now
[04:34:20] My tax pay my tax dollars paid for it
[04:34:23] dumbass
[04:34:25] I think that I'm sorry. I'm gonna cover the fucking human toll
[04:34:30] not only because of the
[04:34:34] Gaza year that we've just experienced the brutality and the savagery of that
[04:34:40] Not only because of the total fracturing and threshing of international law and human rights
[04:34:47] protections and UN resolutions by Israel and completely that whole post World War two order
[04:34:55] that the winning powers in World War two Western states created to make a safe world.
[04:35:02] It's so easy.
[04:35:03] It's so easy.
[04:35:04] It's just fucking balls on a terrace and move on, brother.
[04:35:06] And everyone in their vicinity gets fucking lasered in the orbit or just collateral
[04:35:10] damage. That's it. That's it. That's what the designation of terrorism is for. Okay. That's
[04:35:15] the exclusive purpose of it. 300 plus civilians dead under the rubble. No way of fucking, you
[04:35:22] know, solving that problem. And people are just like, but think about all the people
[04:35:27] that are celebrating like, I don't give a fuck. Fuck those people. Okay. Those are
[04:35:30] going to suck my dick. All right. You only bring that up if you want to fucking
[04:35:36] make an alternative like if you want to make a counter to why it is totally
[04:35:40] justifiable that fucking they're bombing that here right now Lebanese are
[04:35:44] convinced they killed Nasrallah nothing confirmed right now they don't
[04:35:47] understand the complicated nature of the shit is so fucking annoying it's like
[04:35:50] the conversation you have with your dad dude wasn't your dad like oh well
[04:35:54] they're just bombing his bullet they're just bombing his bullet and then they
[04:35:56] fucking bombed his goddamn comp not compound but like his farm didn't they
[04:36:00] like people forget the capacity of others in engaging in like a
[04:36:10] verse array of different opinions okay it's silly to say that like everyone
[04:36:20] universally loves his Bola in Lebanon they don't okay but just like it's also
[04:36:26] fucking silly people don't understand the Lebanese Christians which I am one of
[04:36:30] them are nationalists yeah Lebanese Christians especially living in
[04:36:35] Diaspora have a very different approach where they just basically think like well let Israel deal with the fucking she has some of them
[04:36:41] Do not caprice on poppy
[04:36:43] But some of them just basically look at the situation as like well those fucking Shia barbarians are the reason why Israel was blowing us up
[04:36:49] We are actually a French nation
[04:36:51] You know some
[04:36:57] Excuse me, we're a French country. Okay
[04:37:00] Really fucked up that there is real is like being forced to fucking come and bomb our
[04:37:05] territories because you know because of those barbaric fucking shias in the
[04:37:13] southern regions. There's a conversation that needs to be had one day on stream. I
[04:37:26] have argued with you about Iran, Hezbollah, and their bullshit for
[04:37:29] literal years. Yeah, we hate them, but you will never ever find a group of
[04:37:32] Middle Easterners celebrating. Dude, no one there likes the Israeli
[04:37:36] occupation of Colonial genocide, no matter who is directed against the
[04:37:38] Middle East. Exactly. That's why it's so fucking stupid when people are
[04:37:42] like, no, you will always be able to find like a group of psychos. Okay. You will. You'll
[04:37:47] always find a group of psychos anywhere you go. But ultimately, they are always in the
[04:37:52] minority. Okay. No one in the fucking Middle East is like, Oh hell yeah, I love Israel
[04:37:57] blowing up fucking civilians, because they all know, they all know that they might
[04:38:03] be tomorrow in the crosshairs of that same fucking bombing campaign. You know, it's
[04:38:14] so stupid. Except for people in Israel. People in Israel will always celebrate bombing campaigns
[04:38:27] because they know like they have the Iron Dome in America back in their shit up.
[04:38:39] Capabilities we don't know their condition. How badly have they been hit? They've obviously taken
[04:38:46] ahead but how bad that is we don't know. Well that's if I can jump in that's exactly what I was
[04:38:50] going to say. I have no idea what I'm watching right now. Yes I understand what's on screen.
[04:38:56] We're watching Dahiyeh, we're watching the southern suburb of Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of people live.
[04:39:03] We know that Hezbollah is entrenched in that neighborhood.
[04:39:09] Yes, of course, we know all that.
[04:39:10] And we know the strikes that we have just seen in the last few minutes.
[04:39:13] And they were very significant.
[04:39:15] And there is no way of telling at this very early hour what the human cost of those strikes would be.
[04:39:23] And what the death toll will be.
[04:39:25] that's not what I mean. And the question I'm putting to you is, what's going on, you know?
[04:39:34] It's happening in the moment. We just don't know where this is taking us.
[04:39:39] Well, what I just mentioned is kind of a preface to the main point, which is that we're
[04:39:44] also, everyone will sing a different tune if Israel invades Lebanon.
[04:39:50] There might be some in Lebanon that will say oh it's Hezbollah's fault that Israel is invading Lebanon to begin with
[04:39:58] But there will be plenty of others who remember once again a time when Israel invaded Lebanon and Hezbollah was the only fucking line of defense
[04:40:06] That's why they're the big bad here, okay? Not because of what they've done in fucking Syria
[04:40:10] You think Israel gives a shit about Hezbollah's actions in Syria?
[04:40:14] like oh man the Syrian population is being slaughtered yeah that's definitely
[04:40:21] something Israel cares about bro they fucking bomb Damascus like weekly what
[04:40:25] are you talking about they don't care they don't care about anything you know
[04:40:32] at the end of the day you literally look to who the big bad is in the region
[04:40:44] if you're a Middle Eastern person and you recognize that Israel which is the
[04:40:47] weapon of the United States of America and its imperialist endeavors in the region.
[04:40:54] You know what it looks like when America comes knocking on your fucking door.
[04:40:58] You know how bad and devastating that shit is.
[04:41:01] You know when Israel does that shit too.
[04:41:03] It doesn't fucking matter.
[04:41:04] You're going to look to anyone who is going to fight back against that.
[04:41:08] It's the same principle behind like when a country is invaded by Russia like Ukraine,
[04:41:13] okay, and the very same Ukrainians that used to fight back against like I don't
[04:41:17] Nazi as a battalion fucking football hooligan paramilitary guys are now going to fucking join up the ranks alongside them
[04:41:24] To fight back against the Russian invasion
[04:41:27] Now there's a much greater enemy in that situation
[04:41:30] And every single time you're bombed you radicalize that existing population anyway
[04:41:39] What is this? This should really help explain how the Lebanese are feeling Lebanese pockets in English explaining how they will get killed
[04:41:47] Asking us to help showing us death and destruction. No one did fucking shit
[04:41:52] So have zero expectations that anybody's coming to save us, bro
[04:41:55] We're gonna fucking die alone
[04:41:57] And we're gonna live stream or do you guys gonna get another live stream another
[04:42:01] Another live stream the genocide on your phones
[04:42:04] and it's only gonna cost you a few tax dollars and
[04:42:08] Yeah, that's it
[04:42:10] so
[04:42:12] It might seem crazy, but like
[04:42:14] We might die. We might die, bro.
[04:42:17] It might. Less likely to die than people in the south. But so we might die.
[04:42:21] In this fucking conflict, just sitting here doing our thing, they might decide to blow up the fucking
[04:42:25] shit I can't get out of my way. We'll just fucking die. Driving on a bridge.
[04:42:29] Fucking blow it up. Go to the hospital. Blow it up. Then they'll say that we were Hezbollah agents and we were hiding weapons or whatever, you know, they'll come up with any excuse.
[04:42:37] The hospital had weapons. The school was on top of a weapons cache.
[04:42:41] Cash
[04:42:42] Yeah
[04:42:43] Thank you to our patrons if you want to support us. We're an independent YouTube channel
[04:42:48] Living through a war right now. So we appreciate your support
[04:42:52] Habura's a yura and Joseph a welcome to the family to everyone in the south stay safe to everyone in Lebanon
[04:43:06] That's it, bro. It don't matter where your fucking background is
[04:43:13] Like you know, there'd be a fucking card carrying
[04:43:16] She has both law supporter, dude
[04:43:23] You know, at the end of the day, the Israeli bombs, or sorry, the American bombs being deployed by Israeli fucking Air Force
[04:43:32] does not make that, uh, does not distinguish between you and Hezbollah anyway.
[04:43:38] That's why I kept repeating, this is the same shit that they did with Hamas.
[04:43:54] But it's so funny that that happened only 12 months ago at this point.
[04:43:58] And some of you dumb motherfuckers are literally coming in here and repeating it for Hezbollah!
[04:44:05] Ow!
[04:44:08] Or did y'all forget?
[04:44:10] The past 12 months?
[04:44:12] Oh, why is Hamas fighting back?
[04:44:14] Why is Hamas fighting back?
[04:44:15] If it wasn't for Hamas, Israel wouldn't be doing this.
[04:44:18] After fucking 50,000 plus executions,
[04:44:22] many of you at least had the DCC to shut the fuck up about that.
[04:44:26] But now, I feel like we hit a fucking reset!
[04:44:30] We hit a fucking reset. We flipped the switch. Now everyone's like, well, it's
[04:44:34] Hezbollah! Hezbollah! That's the reason why it's happening. If it wasn't for Hezbollah,
[04:44:41] they would just stop. Israel would just stop if it wasn't for Hezbollah.
[04:44:46] You just added a couple fucking sounds of the same ha in the beginning. That's all you've done.
[04:44:51] The arguments are the same. The counters are the same. The bombing campaigns look the same.
[04:44:57] The justifications are the same
[04:44:59] The country Israel is the same the weapons are the fucking same American weapons nothing changed
[04:45:05] But some of you forgot I don't know how I don't know how this happens
[04:45:10] What's next when they do this a fucking Jordan tomorrow you're gonna be like well
[04:45:16] There's Palestinians in Jordan bro, I'll have you know maybe they have a different group out there maybe they have a
[04:45:24] Hamdullah in fucking Jordan
[04:45:27] Okay. Sorry. That's another ha group. They have to kill them. They have the bomb Jordan now. But
[04:45:41] it's obvious. It's like, bro, is real good fucking do this to New York. And some of you dumb
[04:45:46] motherfuckers will be like, well, there's a lot of fucking propels, they in college demonstrators.
[04:45:52] Okay. Yeah, you're the who these in the MN. And yeah, you have the students at Columbia
[04:46:21] university dude you know you never know you never know dude Hassan Abi of course what
[04:46:39] the fuck is endgame ww3 bro update channel 14 Israel Biden is gearing the Pentagon into
[04:46:47] conflict in the Middle East like it's crazy to me it's like it is literally the same shit
[04:47:04] it's there is no difference brother there is no difference the only difference is like
[04:47:09] Lebanese people have more fucking contact with like Europe and America and there's more in
[04:47:15] diaspora that is not as united against Israel. That's the only difference, okay? Lebanon has
[04:47:21] obviously internal conflict as a direct consequence of having like a multi-religious, multi-ethnic
[04:47:26] society. So there's always going to be more louder naysayers just like the fucking
[04:47:31] Lebanese dipshit that was on from the Middle Eastern Institute that went on CNN the
[04:47:36] The day of the Patriot attacks, he said this is wonderful.
[04:47:43] Yeah, dude, that doesn't mean he's like,
[04:47:45] not a fucking animal.
[04:48:12] I'm assuming there are more Lebanese Americans
[04:48:14] than Palestinian Americans, right?
[04:48:15] I don't know the numbers, but probably.
[04:48:28] Please, when it comes to where this is going to lead us,
[04:48:31] Israel has said that they are not going to stop
[04:48:33] and that their window of opportunity for his Budla is now.
[04:48:37] It's coming up on 2 a.m. where you are, Hamdine,
[04:48:40] I'm on Jordan, so we thank you for your reporting.
[04:48:43] I fear that it is not over for tonight.
[04:48:46] we continue to watch these guys over Beirut
[04:48:48] with these live shots.
[04:48:50] Al Jazeera's Handa Sahut, thank you very much for that.
[04:48:52] Let's go to Ali Hashem, who's in Tyre in Southern Lebanon
[04:48:55] and Ali is now taking shelter.
[04:48:57] So he can't come to us in vision,
[04:49:00] but we are gonna be able to hear you Ali.
[04:49:02] What are you learning?
[04:49:03] What can you tell us?
[04:49:06] Well, we are certainly just like you were talking
[04:49:09] in the past hour, the General Air strikes
[04:49:13] and actually there are some extortions around
[04:49:16] And of course, it's becoming really very, very hard, and it's supposed to be, so now
[04:49:26] given the fact that the number of explosions are huge, and it is just a war.
[04:49:34] It's becoming a full-sledged war, which I feel as either extremities or they can
[04:49:41] feel it.
[04:49:42] And the package app is really welcome.
[04:49:44] It's been taking all across the city.
[04:49:48] There you are.
[04:49:49] It's been a surprise.
[04:49:51] I know they told you they were next.
[04:49:52] There have been explosions around the hotel
[04:49:54] where we are right now.
[04:49:55] Most of the generalists are.
[04:49:57] We're all safe.
[04:49:58] There's no problem.
[04:49:59] No force at all.
[04:50:01] Let's be coming in the twist here.
[04:50:04] Ali, look, and I'm going to be transparent with our viewers
[04:50:07] here.
[04:50:08] We know the audio is not great.
[04:50:09] We do know that.
[04:50:10] not for the first time in this war we have to fight through communications issues because
[04:50:14] it is not easy to be reporting from a war zone whether that's in the Gaza Strip with
[04:50:18] our correspondents there or now with Ali who's had to take shelter because there are incoming
[04:50:23] Israeli strikes everywhere he finds himself.
[04:50:27] Ali is there, is Hezbollah responding?
[04:50:30] Is Hezbollah firing back at Israel?
[04:50:32] Well, in the past hour, there was a large number of launch towards Israel, according to what we know now that a couple of minutes ago, they were several buckets long towards the stuff.
[04:50:48] I don't know. Yeah. This is the.
[04:50:51] Okay, there's no, you shouldn't be. I'm finishing bro. They won't bomb me, bro. I'm not a bro. Why are they bombing Lebanon? Aren't they finishing and not Arab? Okay, listen.
[04:51:02] listen. Okay. I know, I know
[04:51:04] you're joking. I know you're
[04:51:06] joking, but you just alerted
[04:51:10] every single I am Lebanese and
[04:51:12] I think Israel deserves the
[04:51:14] bomb. The he a chatter with
[04:51:17] that joke. You just gave them
[04:51:19] all of the anger and resentment
[04:51:21] they had in their hearts
[04:51:23] already. Okay. I've already been
[04:51:26] duking it out with motherfuckers
[04:51:27] who are like, I'm a Lebanese
[04:51:28] and you don't understand.
[04:51:29] We hate Hezbollah here.
[04:51:30] Everybody hates Hezbollah and that's why it's cool that Israel killed 300 new Lebanese people
[04:51:37] just in the past fucking couple of hours.
[04:51:40] It's usually those motherfuckers who are like,
[04:51:48] I'm Phoenician bro is different.
[04:51:50] I'm Phoenician dog is different like, you know.
[04:51:57] I know my NBC piece is live. It was live earlier too.
[04:52:02] where Israel has been striking multiple targets throughout the day, including one massive blow
[04:52:11] that was a couple hours ago, and what Israel says is a command and control center for Hezbollah.
[04:52:16] There is still speculation at this hour as to whether Hezbollah's chief Hassan Nasrallah
[04:52:21] was there when the target was hit and whether or not he survived that attack. Reuters
[04:52:26] reports that yes, he did survive. There is also speculation in the Israeli media
[04:52:32] that says otherwise we are not able to give you a confirmation one way or another at this
[04:52:37] moment and Hezbollah is staying absolutely quiet on that particular issue.
[04:52:42] You are noticing of course in the distance fire burning which is the aftermath of an
[04:52:46] Israeli strike in Dahye.
[04:52:49] Let's go to Hala Jaber, a former correspondent with The Sunday Times and author of Hezbollah
[04:52:54] born with a vengeance, joining us from Beirut.
[04:52:58] believe you told me when we last spoke that you are far from what we're watching on our screens.
[04:53:04] I don't know if you're hearing any of these strikes. I want to mention them here but like
[04:53:08] nobody likes Hezbollah in the region, okay? Like in terms of all these other places like
[04:53:14] with Al Jazeera, you will get the best kind of coverage on Hezbollah. You will get the best
[04:53:20] kind of coverage on Hezbollah from Al Jazeera, but even they are going to obviously be like,
[04:53:24] like, you know, even they are not going to give like great coverage to neither Iran nor
[04:53:31] Hezbollah in terms of their militancy in terms of what they do.
[04:53:37] Only as a mechanism of defense against Israel, will they ever get any sort of like remotely
[04:53:42] accurate coverage or positive coverage?
[04:53:44] No, I mean, let's, let's, let's, let's start with the targets, just because Israel
[04:53:52] claims that this is, for example, a weapons store or warehouse was not necessarily add
[04:53:58] or mean anything. We have seen Israel over the past year, even in Gaza, make similar claims
[04:54:05] that turned out to be false. And as you've been, as you've repeatedly mentioned on your program,
[04:54:12] The southern suburbs of Wailut and Dahi, for that matter, is a largely civilian, populated
[04:54:22] residential area.
[04:54:24] Of course, because it's a bastion of Hezbollah, of course, they have their offices there.
[04:54:27] They have the media offices there.
[04:54:30] And many of the officials live there.
[04:54:33] I mean, Hezbollah members or officials are not aliens.
[04:54:37] They're dropped from Mars.
[04:54:38] They're Lebanese.
[04:54:39] They're entitled to live there.
[04:54:41] Israeli officials live also in residential areas,
[04:54:44] as do most other officials around the world.
[04:54:48] So that is no excuse to carry out assassinations,
[04:54:52] such as what we saw tonight earlier,
[04:54:55] with bunker buster bombs,
[04:54:56] 2,000 kilos of bunker buster bombs
[04:54:59] on residential neighborhoods under the pretext
[04:55:02] or the excuse of estimating a leader
[04:55:04] when you are actually going to be killing
[04:55:06] so many scores of civilians.
[04:55:09] That's one thing.
[04:55:10] Second is, for example, the bombs used.
[04:55:14] I mean, it was very interesting to listen
[04:55:15] to Blinken earlier and to Biden when he issued a statement
[04:55:18] of some sort saying that they were not aware of this.
[04:55:22] It's one thing saying they're not aware,
[04:55:23] but it's another thing because these,
[04:55:25] they are complicit.
[04:55:26] There's no doubt about it
[04:55:27] because these weapons being used
[04:55:29] and dropped whether they in Gaza,
[04:55:31] especially the one could bust the ones
[04:55:34] and the ones that were used earlier tonight,
[04:55:36] sorry, last night are made in US
[04:55:40] and delivered to Israel by the U.S.
[04:55:43] Please don't make this a clarion issue.
[04:55:45] No, I'm not, I'm not doing that at all.
[04:55:47] I'm actually addressing people who are always like confused
[04:55:51] whenever they come in and they're like,
[04:55:53] well, you know, why do these people fucking hate,
[04:55:55] like so many people are celebrating
[04:55:58] Hassan Nasrallah's execution potentially
[04:56:00] or whatever the fuck.
[04:56:01] And I'm telling to them, I'm explaining to them
[04:56:02] that it's not sectarian.
[04:56:04] If there's only one unifying principle in the region,
[04:56:06] it is going to be that everyone understands
[04:56:09] what Israel fucking does.
[04:56:11] Regardless of like what the coverage may look like overall.
[04:56:15] Regally, basically.
[04:56:17] And even then, Hezbollah has been containing its attacks
[04:56:22] to what they call open fields.
[04:56:25] What Israelis have been describing as open fields.
[04:56:27] In other words, they have not been targeting civilians.
[04:56:30] Or be it they can do so.
[04:56:32] They have, and over the last 11 months,
[04:56:34] they have avoided any attacks directly against civilians.
[04:56:39] And when there has been a few civilians injured here, there, these were by error, not so much
[04:56:45] by intention.
[04:56:47] On the other hand, we see Israel continuously targeting areas where there are civilians,
[04:56:55] uncaring for the fact that there will be scores, dozens or hundreds of civilians killed, and
[04:57:01] they always come up with excuses.
[04:57:03] It's a warehouse.
[04:57:04] It's a military post.
[04:57:06] It's the headquarters.
[04:57:07] The headquarters reminds me of the Shippah Hospital headquarters that they did as well,
[04:57:10] which turned out to be not so much a headquarter whatsoever.
[04:57:14] So Israelis are literally in doing this, are declaring a totally open war and taking it
[04:57:21] beyond what has been happening over the last 11 months between the two sides.
[04:57:25] Hala, I don't know if it's possible to answer that question at this stage, but
[04:57:29] is Hesbola able to stay in the plane of fire that we are seeing tonight live on our screens?
[04:57:34] You mean and I can't believe I can't believe has Bola would fucking add additional
[04:57:44] would add additional deterrence to Israel which shows that it will not stand down
[04:57:50] until there's some sort of like military deterrence in place at least
[04:57:54] according to Israeli history of conquest in the region I can't believe
[04:57:58] that has Bola did that at the behest of the Palestinian population how fucked
[04:58:01] up of them. They must be bad guys in this situation. Like talking about Hezbollah's role
[04:58:07] in domestic affairs is one thing. Okay, but when talking about like, and it's the same
[04:58:11] for fucking answer a lot is the same for the Houthis. People always are like, bro,
[04:58:15] you don't get it like the Houthis like they're fucking beating gay people up or whatever
[04:58:18] the fuck. And it's like, yeah, dog, nobody said they're great. Okay. The problem
[04:58:23] is, if you don't want them have political prescience or any sort of like serious
[04:58:28] political significance, okay? Then guess what? Israel has to stop fucking shit up in the region
[04:58:34] and executing infinitely larger quantities of people with American weapons without even a
[04:58:41] fucking shred of criticism being launched in their direction. It's so fucking dumb. They'll
[04:58:50] be like, yo, what about the gay Lebanese people? It's like, bro, there are gay Lebanese people
[04:58:56] in my chat right now. If I were to ask them, who are you more afraid of Hezbollah or Israel,
[04:59:00] They're gonna say fucking Israel because guess what their grandmother might be getting killed by Israel right now as we speak
[04:59:05] That is the devastating reality. Okay, and it's the same shit for the Palestinians, brother
[04:59:12] especially so
[04:59:14] You know people are like whoa homos is like Islam is fundamental is they're like anti-gay
[04:59:20] It's like come on dog. What the fuck are you talking about?
[04:59:23] You think the the Israeli bombs are just like geared towards homophobes or some shit? No, they killed fucking gay palsies all the time
[04:59:32] They also on top of that literally blackmail gay Palestinians
[04:59:37] They'd use revenge porn on gay Palestinians the fucking use them as collaborators
[04:59:47] Go ahead. Go ahead. Okay
[04:59:51] Yeah, I was just saying back to your question. Will they sustain it? I mean listen
[04:59:55] the the the hits in the last few weeks
[04:59:58] again, there is no reason I wouldn't want to sort of diminish them or make light of them.
[05:00:06] They were serious hits.
[05:00:07] No, but you've made your point and you've put it in.
[05:00:10] We're each of them.
[05:00:11] Yeah, but they won't, but they won't crumble, but they won't crumble.
[05:00:15] I understand what you're saying.
[05:00:16] And I think, and that's actually what my question was aimed at drawing out of you,
[05:00:23] which is Dahye has sustained far, far worse
[05:00:26] for people who remember 2006.
[05:00:29] Entire parts of Dahye were leveled.
[05:00:32] And in fact, the way the Israeli military
[05:00:35] conducted itself at the time,
[05:00:36] and the way it chose to conduct that particular offensive
[05:00:40] gave its name to what's called the Dahye doctrine,
[05:00:43] which is essentially the idea that Israel
[05:00:47] is going to inflict very heavy
[05:00:50] damage on civilian targets and the idea being hit the infrastructure of Hezbollah to try
[05:00:59] and cut them from their support base. It didn't work. Clearly it didn't work, but that was
[05:01:04] the doctrine. Hala Jaber, former correspondent with the Sunday Times and author of Hezbollah,
[05:01:09] Born with a Vengeance. Thank you so much for your perspective.
[05:01:13] It is now just past 23 GMT and if you're just joining us, let's recap our breaking
[05:01:19] news story out of Beirut that's been unfolding throughout this evening with new developments
[05:01:23] over the past hour. Israel has struck the densely populated suburb of Dahi'i in the
[05:01:28] south of the city again with multiple airstrikes. Now these are the latest pictures of the area
[05:01:33] where Israel's military says it is striking sites belonging to Hezbollah. It claims
[05:01:37] the group has stored anti-ship missiles in the area. The latest strikes follow the
[05:01:42] heaviest bombardment by Israel of southern Beirut, yet airstrikes hit several residential
[05:01:47] blocks in the Dahia neighborhood. The explosion could be heard throughout the
[05:01:50] city of two and a half million people. Israel says it was attacking a Hezbollah
[05:01:55] command center as Dorset Shabari reports. As dusk fell over Beirut, and he hopes
[05:02:06] that Israel would keep pleased to stop its escalating attacks of Lebanon were
[05:02:11] shattered. Holy shit. Massive.
[05:02:14] New York Times Israel's attempt to kill Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of
[05:02:17] Hezbollah on Friday came after his government received information
[05:02:21] He had just convened a leadership meeting in an underground facility south of Beirut, the Lebanese capital
[05:02:25] Initial assessment of his early intelligence agencies is that Mr. Rana Zarala has been killed five Israeli officials said but they cautioned that assessment was preliminary and may yet change
[05:02:34] That's crazy dude. Like I can you imagine Iran fucking like nuking
[05:02:48] Tel Aviv
[05:02:50] It's like Iran nuking Tel Aviv because like Benjamin Niyahu is doing a cabinet meeting like a war cabinet meeting
[05:02:59] It's just crazy
[05:03:02] What do you think do you think he's dead? I don't know
[05:03:08] Bro, that is unfair it includes children there. Oh, damn, bro. I didn't realize Beirut was free of children
[05:03:22] The six buildings that they fucking brought down just had no children in them
[05:03:29] bruh only
[05:03:31] Only Tel Aviv has children
[05:03:34] Beirut Lebanon has
[05:03:37] has as well a lot babies everywhere, you know, famously Arab kids don't exist or the nation
[05:03:54] kids don't exist. That's not how this works. You know, this is why Netanyahu's in the USA
[05:04:08] for protection or to try and bait an attack on USA soil. No, Benjamin Netanyahu's in the
[05:04:14] United States of America because he's here for the UN General Assembly. So we can sit
[05:04:17] on top of these like supposed international institutions that are supposed to abide
[05:04:23] by like the standards that the Western world agrees upon and just put his fucking nutsack
[05:04:28] on the table, which is precisely what he did. He literally came to New York and took his
[05:04:38] dick and balls out and placed it firmly on the podium for all to see, you know, Kim
[05:05:12] Russia now just nuked the Pentagon. Dude. No, of course not. Russia is a foreign
[05:05:19] adversary. They're not allowed to do anything. Even though because they're outside of the
[05:05:25] scope of American influence, they do get to do everything with zero repercussions. Because
[05:05:33] when you put all of the repercussions that can be placed on Russia, it seemingly doesn't
[05:05:40] stop their fucking escalation. Even if he is dead, this isn't going to change anything.
[05:06:00] I know. I think Izzy isn't targeting Nasrallah at all. It was just an excuse to drop
[05:06:16] Bunker bus. There's a make public stop talking about the past week of war crimes. No, I think
[05:06:20] they were actually targeting Hassan Nasrallah for sure, but they're gross and and you know,
[05:06:28] insane and don't give a fuck. They are desperately swinging for a W chat. They are looking for
[05:06:34] a W. Any W they can get. If they decapitate the leadership of his below, that's a W. It's
[05:06:42] It's not real, it's not like real military deterrence.
[05:06:45] They don't give a fuck, okay?
[05:06:48] They're just one on the PR front looking for a W desperately to get the Israeli society
[05:06:54] back on board, okay?
[05:06:57] And beyond that, maybe even finding righteous cause for a military takeover and a permanent
[05:07:04] occupation with settlers inevitably moving into back into their homes in northern Israel
[05:07:10] and maybe even Southern Lebanon.
[05:07:23] I was pissing out the dude who beat them in 06 AW.
[05:07:26] It would be a W if they killed him.
[05:07:36] Israel is very cowardly in the way that it works.
[05:07:43] They are afraid of the diaper brigade
[05:07:45] getting their shit pushed in, so they will never actually
[05:07:47] go in and invade militarily before they actually fucking
[05:07:53] reduce the entire ground in the rubble.
[05:07:56] and that's precisely what they're doing here. They're blowing up everything in sight.
[05:08:02] They're trying to cause as much terror as possible.
[05:08:05] And only when they feel safe will they try and like move their tanks in
[05:08:09] and they won't even offer like troop coverage of their fucking tanks.
[05:08:12] And then they'll get marked again and again and again.
[05:08:15] But here it's all good because the American military will defend them.
[05:08:21] Air Force fighter just attacked in Kiliterre, Muhammad Ali Ismail,
[05:08:24] the commander of Hezbollah's missile unit in southern Lebanon and his deputy terrorist
[05:08:27] Hussain Ahmed Ismail, with them other commanders and terrorists of Hezbollah were eliminated.
[05:08:32] The terrorist Muhammad Ali Ismail's response were many acts of terrorism from a sector
[05:08:35] towards the territory of the state of Israel, including rocket, rocket launch towards the
[05:08:38] territory of the state of Israel, and surface-to-surface missiles.
[05:08:43] Their assassination joined the assassination of the head of Hezbollah's missile and
[05:08:46] rocket array, the terrorist Ibrahim Muhammad Qabisi, and the assassination of other
[05:08:49] senior's officials in Hezbollah's missile and rocket array. The idea will continue to
[05:08:54] act with strength and determination against the terrorist organization Hezbollah to harm
[05:08:59] and eliminate their senior members of the terrorist organization. What does the sound
[05:09:10] mean by diaper brigade? IDF, the Israeli Diver Force, because they wear diapers and
[05:09:18] piss and shit in them. At the mere thought of like having to aim their weapons at
[05:09:23] like an adult with another with a weapon in their hands instead of like another fucking child or a baby in a crib
[05:09:31] they're baby killers that's what they're the best at
[05:09:37] and extracting semen oh i thought you called them diaper brigades because they looks like
[05:09:59] they were diapers on their helmets i mean that too did i join the stream at a weird time yes
[05:10:10] because at the top of the hour there's a three minute outbreak and you just joined at the time as
[05:10:15] I was about to serve it but fear not chatter if you don't want to see if you don't want to see those ads
[05:10:29] and then all you need to do is
[05:10:31] Subscribe what you could do for four dollars and twenty cents or for free
[05:10:38] With a
[05:10:40] Which prime
[05:10:49] You can also get gifted a sub if you're like here's a three-minute outbreak now
[05:10:53] A lot of joke chatters this semen should exist from the suburb. Listen to me guys
[05:10:56] will never surrender the Zionist entity. And if they put us between the sword of the humiliation,
[05:11:01] we will never choose a life of humiliation. We overcame this enemy twice. We will overcome them
[05:11:05] again. Good luck, chatter. Be safe. How did Hassan Isra'la hide from Israel over 30 years,
[05:11:28] but they just randomly found him today? It doesn't make sense. I mean, I don't know. I think
[05:11:37] Israel is just simply escalating its attacks. Even if they had actionable intelligence in
[05:11:41] the past, they never acted on it. And he's been through a lot. He's been through a tremendous
[05:11:47] amount like probably nobody else almost nobody else in history if you dude this is a cucked man
[05:11:53] right here let's see what really get right down to it and we're gonna have a discussion and see
[05:11:59] what we can come up with he has the vibes of of mahmoud a boss anytime i see that motherfucker
[05:12:04] next to like an american politician they they give off the exact same energy you know what
[05:12:10] i mean it's like yeah what am i supposed to do like i got no options like what am i supposed
[05:12:16] to do. You know, it is what it is.
[05:12:20] Great honor to have you. Thank you very much.
[05:12:23] Thank you so much for this meeting. Five, five years have passed.
[05:12:29] So we had, yes, we had a meeting here in New York in September.
[05:12:35] And now there are a lot of challenges, challenges in Ukraine and the United States.
[05:12:41] And of course I want to discuss with you, I think, where we are together, I think we have common view that the war in Ukraine has to be stopped and Putin can't win, and the Ukrainians have to prevail, and I want to...
[05:12:56] He looked at him like, fuck you, me and Putin can't win bro, chill.
[05:12:59] I'll ask with you in detail tomorrow, I don't think it's going to work.
[05:13:03] Thank you very much.
[05:13:05] Thank you very much, Edgar.
[05:13:07] Thank you.
[05:13:08] Do you have a question for the president?
[05:13:12] Why did you decide to leave?
[05:13:15] I think it's me.
[05:13:18] Or to both of.
[05:13:20] OK, thanks so much.
[05:13:22] First of all, it's very important to share all that.
[05:13:26] Am I wrong or does Trump's position on Ukraine
[05:13:28] mirrors yours, no hate?
[05:13:30] Brother, if you think Trump has a decipherable position
[05:13:33] on any issue, you are out of your dang mind.
[05:13:37] This is a guy who literally will on Monday say that he doesn't think that there should be an abortion ban
[05:13:43] And then on Tuesday be like just kidding. I actually went back on that decision
[05:13:47] Yes, there are times especially recently where he's been like we need to fucking put a peace deal on the table
[05:13:53] What the fuck is going on? We got to stop the the endless bloodshed, okay?
[05:13:58] But let's be fucking real. This man does not give a shit about anything and he does not care about like
[05:14:05] senseless bloodshed, he has contributed to it as the president of the United States,
[05:14:09] and he will continue to contribute to it as the next president of the United States if he wins.
[05:14:14] So, you know, every now and then he might arrive at like a reasonable position, or at least present
[05:14:20] himself as someone with reasonable opinions on a matter, but that doesn't mean that he's
[05:14:24] ever actually reasonable. They're leveling parts of Beirut right now, many strikes, oh shit.
[05:14:32] It's a lot, but Israel has been attacking there and mainly those who are being killed
[05:14:44] are civilians.
[05:14:45] They're blowing up your country.
[05:14:46] They're blowing up your country right now.
[05:14:49] Nothing.
[05:14:50] Around 750 in just three days, and God knows how many were killed in the attack in Beirut
[05:14:58] and the attacks that are already taking place now in Beirut and in other cities.
[05:15:05] Yeah, Ali Akshah, I'm very glad that you brought up that though.
[05:15:07] He's still riding with Kamala Harris, okay?
[05:15:10] 700 people have been killed in Lebanon in the last, a little under a week, since Israel
[05:15:16] has sharply escalated its attacks.
[05:15:18] Wait, what?
[05:15:19] You've un-endorsed her?
[05:15:20] Oh, he's saying he un-endorsed her.
[05:15:24] He's no longer endorsing Kamala Harris, but...
[05:15:26] we see direct but still voting on Dahyeh and Ali who's still with us on the
[05:15:31] line is reporting that there are also hits in the southern part of Lebanon.
[05:15:35] How many people have been killed in those attacks? We don't know. Certainly
[05:15:40] in the case of Dahyeh, we continue to say it is a densely populated suburb.
[05:15:45] 700,000 people live there. Some we know from our teams on the ground
[05:15:51] have been fleeing and we are seeing massive fires burning now after
[05:15:55] multiple strikes I have counted in the last hour possibly a dozen strikes who
[05:16:02] knows what the human cost of that is Ali has in the last two hours or so since
[05:16:10] this has ramped up even further has Hezbollah said anything has there been a
[05:16:16] statement any communication from them at all well there was a statement from
[05:16:22] Hezbollah that we just saw quite 30 minutes ago, that stated clearly, let me just read
[05:16:34] from this statement that they denied the false claims made by Israel about presence of weapons
[05:16:40] hidden in the civilian building stalked by Israel and they would sob in sorrow tonight.
[05:16:46] This is the first statement in this regard by Hezbollah, aside from the statements that
[05:16:55] the Hezbollah media warfare is issuing whenever they are attacking or they're launching attacks
[05:17:04] towards, advocates towards Israel.
[05:17:07] Of course, today we know from Hezbollah that they launched eight attacks, including one
[05:17:15] on the, what they call, the settlement of Sair, on Kerma'il, on the city of Safar,
[05:17:23] and also significant on a military base on the border artillery, which was like a signal
[05:17:29] from Hezbollah that they are still present on the border.
[05:17:33] Of course, that has a lot of significance here, given the fact that this war is not just only
[05:17:40] about airstrikes.
[05:17:41] It's also about what's being anticipated of a possible Israeli ground up position that
[05:17:49] many are speculating about how is it going to be and how wide would it be?
[05:17:56] And would Israel really be able to get into the Lebanese territories and from where?
[05:18:03] Whether it's going to be from south Lebanon or it might be through the Syrian territories
[05:18:09] and then get into the Bifar and try to split or divide the map in a way just similar
[05:18:17] to what happened in Gaza when they divided the receptor?
[05:18:21] So these are big questions now.
[05:18:23] People are just waiting to see what Shenmuehla is going to say because
[05:18:28] Shenmuehla is the party right now that is fighting from Lebanon.
[05:18:33] So we are just listening, hearing from Israel.
[05:18:35] Did Israel give a evacuation notice?
[05:18:37] Yes.
[05:18:38] The big things are being said.
[05:18:41] Not that it fucking matters bro, what do you mean?
[05:18:43] Over the past years we know that the Secretary General of the Islamic State is the man who...
[05:18:50] This is what it looks like on the ground.
[05:18:52] direction or tell those people martyrs square hamra actually even the people of lebanon who are following
[05:19:00] this war like this is precisely this is the gasification of beirut this is the gasification
[05:19:05] of lebanon okay they are they are turning the entirety of this sovereign state into gaza making
[05:19:11] people move from location to location first they made people in southern lebanon is really
[05:19:16] air strikes near where you are not far from time. First they made people in southern Lebanon move
[05:19:22] to Beirut then they started bombing Beirut. David you're joining us now from Washington DC.
[05:19:32] What's your main takeaway from the last few hours and everything that we're seeing?
[05:19:38] Well it's the determination of Israel to destroy Hezbollah's ability to
[05:19:43] to conduct fires into Israel.
[05:19:47] So when, you know, we lose sight of this.
[05:19:51] Is it crazy that they're saying that because like,
[05:19:52] Hezbollah has fired counter missiles into Israel
[05:19:55] since this started?
[05:19:58] Basically said they were going to make Northern Israel
[05:20:00] uninhabitable.
[05:20:01] I don't think any Israeli leader can do that.
[05:20:04] What's really profound about this is how compromised
[05:20:08] Hezbollah's internal security was.
[05:20:10] So you saw a number of attacks
[05:20:13] which were preceded by an amazing commando raid into Syria
[05:20:17] that destroyed the Iranian Hezbollah missile fabrication
[05:20:22] and storage facility, followed up by this blow after blow
[05:20:26] after blow.
[05:20:27] So it remains to be seen, Hezbollah has the ability
[05:20:30] to reconstitute itself if the Lebanese state,
[05:20:34] which the Lebanese army is not involved
[05:20:36] in these factions here, if it does not choose
[05:20:39] to try to reestablish sovereignty over all of Lebanon,
[05:20:42] but at least in the short term,
[05:20:45] Hezbollah has been set back many, many years
[05:20:48] in its ability to project power
[05:20:50] outside of Southern Lebanon with the Convalent.
[05:20:53] Yeah, I was gonna ask you about that,
[05:20:55] whether it is possible to assess
[05:20:57] at this very early stage still the damage
[05:21:00] that has been done to Hezbollah.
[05:21:01] There is no doubt that, yes, of course,
[05:21:04] this is damaging to them,
[05:21:05] but at the same time, they've spent two decades,
[05:21:07] according to most analysts,
[05:21:09] and I think you won't disagree with me on this,
[05:21:11] they've spent the best part of two decades arming,
[05:21:13] preparing for a moment like this.
[05:21:16] So one assumes that Hezbollah,
[05:21:20] as one of the most powerful armed groups in the world,
[05:21:24] is ready and able to sustain something like this.
[05:21:28] Well, yeah, but the level of the compromise
[05:21:32] really is breathtaking.
[05:21:34] I mean, almost all of the senior leadership
[05:21:37] has been killed.
[05:21:38] When I look at this, given Hezbollah's internal security
[05:21:42] practices, normally folks would interrogate each other,
[05:21:45] but clearly they were compromised at a level
[05:21:48] that was above interrogation by Hezbollah counter-intelligence.
[05:21:53] That would lead me to conclude
[05:21:54] it would either be somebody at the top,
[05:21:56] and I think that's extremely unlikely,
[05:21:58] or what is more likely, that perhaps Iran's
[05:22:02] Revolutionary Guard interlocked tourists
[05:22:04] within Hezbollah, with Hezbollah,
[05:22:06] that there was a compromise there.
[05:22:08] that seems to be a little bit more likely,
[05:22:09] but even so, you've got a lot of problems here.
[05:22:12] First off, much of the missile inventory
[05:22:15] and the ability to produce it has been destroyed.
[05:22:18] And I disagree with one of the earlier reports
[05:22:21] saying that Hezbollah has shown restraint
[05:22:23] in the last few days.
[05:22:24] I think you could easily draw the opposite conclusion,
[05:22:28] which is that their ballistic missile capacity
[05:22:31] has been so degraded that they're unable to launch
[05:22:33] an effective strike with salvos of missiles
[05:22:36] against Tel Aviv or the interior of Israel.
[05:22:40] And then the other problem is when they recruit,
[05:22:43] you know, they're going to see people who have a level
[05:22:45] of mistrust in their own organization.
[05:22:47] And that will have a profound morale effect
[05:22:51] upon recruits, potential recruits,
[05:22:54] and members of the organization.
[05:22:55] So even if it reconstituted itself,
[05:22:58] it will be much more poorly armed,
[05:23:00] much less coordinated,
[05:23:02] and its morale and fighting spirit
[05:23:03] will be significantly degraded,
[05:23:05] probably for a generation.
[05:23:07] So what you're telling us, you're right, by the way,
[05:23:10] that multiple guests have told me for the moment
[05:23:12] Hezbollah has not carried out the level of attacks
[05:23:17] on Israel that it could have done, right?
[05:23:19] It hasn't, except in one instance of one big missile
[05:23:23] that was aimed at Tel Aviv
[05:23:25] and that was safely destroyed by Israel.
[05:23:29] Except for that one instance a couple of days ago,
[05:23:31] Hezbollah so far has not appeared to have aimed at massive Israeli population centers,
[05:23:38] namely Tendaleev.
[05:23:39] And you're saying it's not because they don't want to, it's because they can't.
[05:23:43] Well, it's an equally valid conclusion.
[05:23:47] Given the scale of destruction, and we forget, this did not start with the pages.
[05:23:51] It started with the destruction of the missile fabrication storage facility in Syria.
[05:23:57] It's an equally valid conclusion that they no longer lack the ability to do this.
[05:24:01] If they had fired, say, 20 missiles at the same target, they probably would have overwhelmed
[05:24:05] any missile defense system.
[05:24:07] And I don't see the point when you're seeing the methodical elimination of the entire
[05:24:13] high command of this Bola, I don't see the point in just firing one missile, you know,
[05:24:19] as a statement that it seems to be closed.
[05:24:22] I don't know if I'll survive this.
[05:24:23] If God will play my life, then so be it.
[05:24:24] But we'll move further in another location.
[05:24:26] I need to shut my phone down.
[05:24:27] But all I ask you to do is keep us in your prayers.
[05:24:29] I think it was on for all your many shoes. I always like to watch.
[05:24:32] You're going to be all right. Okay. Be safe. Chatter credit.
[05:24:36] David, we're, we're seeing the largest, uh, at least from our vantage point,
[05:24:43] it's very impressive what we're seeing on our screen. Uh, it is remarkable.
[05:24:48] Um, and to be completely honest, makes me somewhat uncomfortable to be
[05:24:53] watching this live. Uh, we are seeing fire raining down on parts of, uh,
[05:24:59] Dahye, the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut.
[05:25:01] Again, we have said many times here, a bigger pardon.
[05:25:05] We have said many times since the beginning of this program
[05:25:07] that there are hundreds of thousands of people who live here.
[05:25:09] Yes, Israel says that it is aiming for missiles.
[05:25:12] It is aiming for, they said earlier,
[05:25:14] a command and control center.
[05:25:15] We don't know because we don't have the evidence.
[05:25:17] They don't tend to offer the evidence for why they say
[05:25:21] they aim for a certain place.
[05:25:24] But the reality is that there are many people,
[05:25:28] many ordinary Lebanese people who live in the suburb of the capital.
[05:25:35] You know, as I listened to you, you mentioned the provenance of Hezbollah's weapons, many
[05:25:40] of which come from Iran.
[05:25:42] On the flip side, many of Israel's weapons come from the U.S.
[05:25:45] So I'm wondering, as I see these hits on Beirut, the U.S. has come in for an enormous
[05:25:51] amount of criticism for continuing to supply Israel with weapons that have been used
[05:25:55] to kill Palestinians. As I watch these live pictures, I wonder, isn't the U.S. again going
[05:26:01] to come in for criticism if Lebanese people die under American-made bombs?
[05:26:06] Yeah, and that's-
[05:26:09] His dude has literally no clue at all about the psyche that he is.
[05:26:11] If he's saying he'd be dissuaded from joining his below in the future, yeah, no.
[05:26:14] I don't- that is kind of funny for like a D.C. strategic studies guy to say this,
[05:26:21] like a DC think tank guy to say this
[05:26:24] from the National Defense University,
[05:26:26] because the entire history
[05:26:27] of the United States military occupation
[05:26:30] has always, always resulted in more people joining the fight.
[05:26:36] I said it's the burden of being a superpower.
[05:26:39] The superpower could act in a different way, right?
[05:26:42] Because the superpower is saying they want to cease fire.
[05:26:45] It's saying they don't want a military escalation.
[05:26:47] It's saying they want to cease fire.
[05:26:48] They have presented a plan
[05:26:49] which their ally Israel has completely snubbed,
[05:26:52] apparently hasn't even bothered to answer to.
[05:26:55] The US could actually pull its weapons,
[05:26:57] but what it has done instead is in the last 24 hours,
[05:27:02] commit itself to another package of military aid
[05:27:05] worth $8.5 billion to Israel.
[05:27:09] Yeah, good question.
[05:27:10] So, and I'm glad you raised it.
[05:27:12] And again, I've been discussing this on this network
[05:27:15] over a period of years with regard to other countries,
[05:27:17] most notably the GCC states that were engaged in Yemen.
[05:27:22] So when a security partner goes against
[05:27:25] the current American policy,
[05:27:27] there is the possibility of doing that.
[05:27:29] But there seems to be a misconception.
[05:27:31] I don't think you share it.
[05:27:32] I don't think your analysts do,
[05:27:33] but there's a popular misconception
[05:27:35] that somewhere in Washington there's switch
[05:27:37] and if that switch is flicked,
[05:27:39] the airplanes fall from the sky.
[05:27:41] The fact of the matter remains,
[05:27:42] Israel has a robust domestic arms industry
[05:27:45] and their stockpiles that have been built up over the years.
[05:27:48] So if the United States adopts the ultimate
[05:27:51] in coercion just stops all things,
[05:27:52] it would take years to have an effect
[05:27:56] on Israeli operations.
[05:27:57] And what is particularly-
[05:27:58] What they said six months ago
[05:28:00] was that we're going to either stop delivering bombs
[05:28:03] and mission or at least slow it down.
[05:28:06] Don't you think by now we would have seen an effect?
[05:28:08] Are you telling, I understand what you're saying,
[05:28:11] that there's a latency between the moments
[05:28:13] the US decides to-
[05:28:15] would decide in this hypothetical scenario to send right fewer weapons and
[05:28:20] the moment Israel was shut down and collapsed in its entirety if America
[05:28:24] withdrew its support from Israel tomorrow and everyone in Israel knows this and
[05:28:28] that's precisely the reason why there's a multi-billion dollar propaganda
[05:28:31] operation forward-facing just focusing specifically on the Western world to
[05:28:35] delicately tailor every Israeli action to Western sensibilities to justify it
[05:28:40] It's fucking bullshit. Anyone who tells you that Israel would be able to operate this way without American support
[05:28:48] Is a fucking abject liar. They know the truth
[05:28:51] The Israeli society might not know the truth because some of them are fucking blood thirsty
[05:28:55] But ultimately ultimately everyone in the military industrial complex is
[05:29:01] Definitely aware of this reality. Okay
[05:29:05] If it was so negligible we would have stopped our weapons transfers already by the way but we haven't so there are
[05:29:10] some paradoxes here, but I think we are in agreement that the ability to affect something
[05:29:15] in the short order, and this campaign has lasted less than a week, is not quite, people
[05:29:22] have an exaggerated view of what the United States can do.
[05:29:25] It's also important to note that, you know, the United States is not fighting, or Israel
[05:29:29] rather, is not fighting the Lebanese army or the Lebanese forces.
[05:29:34] They are, they at least claim to be, and their intent seems to be focused on Hezbollah,
[05:29:40] which the United States has no great love and affection for.
[05:29:43] So the argument seems to be over proportionality and the conduct of Israeli operations, not
[05:29:48] the rightness or wrongness of operations.
[05:29:50] So there are a couple of issues here that complicate that situation.
[05:29:54] I think the argument is going to be going forward about who winds up dead.
[05:29:58] What we were just saying before you came on about 700,000, sorry, 700 people have
[05:30:03] been killed in the last six days or so of the Israeli strikes.
[05:30:09] And inevitably, already four days ago, we were saying 50 children have been killed.
[05:30:14] So you understand where the argument goes.
[05:30:16] No, I understand that.
[05:30:18] And there is an emotive appeal.
[05:30:20] And obviously around the world, particularly in the global south, Israel has suffered
[05:30:27] a great strategic defeat over the level of civilian casualties.
[05:30:30] But in the United States suffers as well.
[05:30:34] But the Israel's narrative, which has been constantly throughout.
[05:30:42] This is not against you, but you know what so many of our viewers are going to be thinking
[05:30:46] when they hear you say something like that.
[05:30:48] They're going to be thinking, yeah, 41,000 people were killed in the Gaza Strip.
[05:30:53] And then Israel said, what we did in Gaza, we can do in Beirut.
[05:30:56] And now it looks like that is precisely what they're doing.
[05:30:59] And after five days, we see 700 people killed.
[05:31:01] So just the number of bodies piling up is completely out of this world and is completely
[05:31:07] out of proportion with 21st century warfare, or at least what many in the international
[05:31:16] community feel that should look like.
[05:31:18] I sense you disagree with that.
[05:31:20] Well, if you look at the casualty rates inflicted in March by Lebanese, Zizfala and
[05:31:26] Syria, for example, you'll find very severe death rates.
[05:31:30] And if you look at the casualties inflicted by Daesh
[05:31:35] in operations in Iraq and Syria,
[05:31:37] again, we find casualties in the hundreds of thousands.
[05:31:40] But now you're comparing the video to Daesh.
[05:31:42] You see the problem with that.
[05:31:43] And you see the moral questions.
[05:31:47] No, no, no.
[05:31:48] That's a false equivalency.
[05:31:50] You said that it was unprecedented modern warfare.
[05:31:52] So I gave you examples in 21st century warfare.
[05:31:55] I'm sorry to argue with you, but it's
[05:31:58] a very, very specific point that I'm making.
[05:32:01] Understood.
[05:32:02] So yeah, I appreciate your courtesy on that point.
[05:32:06] All right, David, thank you very much for your time.
[05:32:09] As we continue to watch events unfold in Beirut
[05:32:12] and specifically the Israeli strikes
[05:32:14] that have been coming in with increasing frequency
[05:32:19] over Dahye, that was David Beirut,
[05:32:21] our security analyst joining us just now.
[05:32:23] Let's bring in Hamdass al-Houth,
[05:32:25] who's live for us from Amman, Jordan,
[05:32:26] because the Israeli government has banned Al Jazeera from reporting within Israel.
[05:32:30] Hamda, I know it's the middle of the night where you are, but are you hearing or learning
[05:32:35] anything more on the Israeli side about what they're doing right now, the operations that
[05:32:41] they are conducting in Lebanon?
[05:32:43] Yeah, there's actually quite a lot of Israeli military statements that are coming out
[05:32:52] within the hour.
[05:32:53] The army is first saying that they have completed their airstrikes in southern
[05:32:57] Lebanon and that there was a specific person who was a target saying that he's a commander
[05:33:02] in his butler's missile systems and that he was eliminated along with his deputy of course
[05:33:08] no confirmation from the Lebanese group on that they're also saying that they were targeting
[05:33:13] his butler weapons depots and that the strikes in the south for now are finished but when
[05:33:18] it comes to the idea the Israeli military has not talked about any sort of cessation
[05:33:24] to the military activity there.
[05:33:26] It's worth mentioning, but just a few hours ago,
[05:33:29] the Israeli Army spokesperson, Daniel Higari,
[05:33:31] had said that they were going to continue to str-
[05:33:34] Wait, you said this happened when a plane was landing?
[05:33:40] Oh, shit, is that the plane?
[05:33:47] Or is that a helicopter?
[05:34:01] This is a new
[05:34:31] That is a plane, or a helicopter?
[05:34:33] That is a helicopter.
[05:34:37] Is it a helicopter?
[05:34:39] Yes, it is a helicopter.
[05:34:41] Is it a helicopter?
[05:34:43] It is a civilian aircraft.
[05:34:45] It is a civilian aircraft.
[05:34:47] On the other hand, this point cannot be distinguished,
[05:34:50] but it is a civilian aircraft.
[05:34:53] It is a new aircraft.
[05:35:03] It is a new aircraft, but it means that this is a civilian aircraft.
[05:35:07] Commercial, that is it.
[05:35:09] Yes, yes, yes, yes.
[05:35:11] But let me point out that the storm hit the south coast of Beirut.
[05:35:22] Perhaps it is not possible to determine the name of the street now.
[05:35:27] But we are talking about the attacks against the south coast of Beirut.
[05:35:31] But let me point out that we were watching a civil plane now landing in the airport of Rafiq Al-Hareer Al-Dawli.
[05:35:37] It was passing and passing through the airfields in the south coast of Beirut.
[05:35:42] And at the time, the Israeli military fighters were firing their missiles towards the south-western side.
[05:35:51] Therefore, this issue was in addition to the warning of the Lebanese authorities, which were saying...
[05:36:12] We don't know whether what we're watching now is they prelude to a ground operation, grounding
[05:36:18] Persian into Lebanon, correct?
[05:36:24] That's right.
[05:36:25] The Israeli military has said that there is no option they will not use, that if a ground
[05:36:29] invasion into southern Lebanon is necessary, that they would do that.
[05:36:33] But they didn't really say it would be as a last resort.
[05:36:36] They just said that they would do that if necessary, and that in fact, preparations
[05:36:40] are being...
[05:36:41] I gotta explain something to you, okay?
[05:36:42] When Russia did this to Ukraine, there was a lot more eyeballs and attention on
[05:36:47] matter. When Israel does it the Lebanon, it's just another fucking Friday.
[05:36:53] Just understand that when Russia was doing this to Ukraine, all attention was on this.
[05:36:58] All Western media was talking about it. That's all people would talk about.
[05:37:05] No justifications, no holds barred, completely unacceptable atrocity, which it was
[05:37:11] for the record. It was. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was unjustifiable, brutal, bloody,
[05:37:17] completely unacceptable but I want you to understand something like these are
[05:37:24] real people just like Ukrainians are real people getting blown to fucking bits
[05:37:29] in their homes and there is no interest whatsoever from the Western world even
[05:37:38] this community like normally people will be tuning in to see what the fuck is
[05:37:42] going on but there isn't even like real attention to it in the same degree
[05:37:47] And I think part of that is because dead brown people are seen as a nuisance, whereas dead
[05:37:54] white people are very different dynamic.
[05:38:03] You know, that's it.
[05:38:07] And it's not just popular there.
[05:38:09] It's popular among Netanyahu's government.
[05:38:12] And it's also popular among some of Netanyahu's political rivals within the opposition who
[05:38:16] said that Netanyahu took the right step here in attacking more sites in Lebanon.
[05:38:23] But look, there are of course some who say that this is the wrong choice.
[05:38:26] everywhere. No, I know it's it's still making the news. I mean, CNN is talking about it
[05:38:30] as well. Instead of covering Kamala Harris is like insanely right wing fucking border
[05:38:36] wall proposals or whatever the fuck she's doing right now. Like the absolute dumb ass
[05:38:40] that she is. But there is no world like CNN is covering it. MSNBC isn't covering it.
[05:38:46] Fox isn't covering it. Like there is no world in which this would occur if like when
[05:38:51] When Russia invaded Ukraine, this is all anyone could think about, anyone could talk
[05:38:57] about.
[05:38:58] When Israel is invading and blowing up Lebanon, it's just another day.
[05:39:05] It's just another day.
[05:39:07] Think about it with October 7.
[05:39:09] October 7, front page headlines everywhere.
[05:39:14] Every outlet stopped and changed their coverage to breaking news updates from Israel.
[05:39:22] Meanwhile, it's either omission or a complete collaboration with the state of Israel.
[05:39:31] The dynamic is definitely different. See? They've already switched away to the Hurricane
[05:39:36] death toll in Georgia. Now, this is a devastating atrocity. Don't get me wrong. And this deserves
[05:39:42] coverage. But in this circumstance, I promise you, I promise you, if like, the reason why I'm
[05:39:54] I'm mentioning this is because the human toll is not calculated in the same way when it is
[05:40:01] the victims are victims of, you know, a Western imperialist endeavor. If you even for a moment
[05:40:15] think that they be talking my hair speaking at the border soon as CNN on October 7, you
[05:40:21] be wrong. It's crazy to think, but this is some of the ways in which I think Israel
[05:40:44] gets away with behaving this way. This is the fund Israel to take the diplomatic path.
[05:41:02] This is the Middle Eastern Institute guy ceasefire initiative right now. So we are barreling towards
[05:41:10] escalation towards a major war. And the big question is whether it will have regional
[05:41:15] dimensions, including Iran or not. What do you mean exactly by that? And meaning how
[05:41:21] Iran will respond to this? Yes. I mean, everybody knows that his
[05:41:27] Fala is Iran's most powerful ally beyond its borders. It's a product of some
[05:41:34] bro's yapping about American network showing American natural disaster
[05:41:37] emergency over something 5000 miles away. First of all, Israel's actions are
[05:41:43] also an American natural disaster that we are causing. Okay. In Lebanon,
[05:41:47] that's number one. The point I'm making is that the media attention to
[05:41:52] atrocities committed by our adversaries is far different than the media's attention to atrocities
[05:41:59] committed by our allies. That was simply the point. If it's that frustrating to you, I don't know,
[05:42:04] you know, maybe reconsider your stance on the matter, reconsider why you're upset about it,
[05:42:09] why you immediately choose to fucking misunderstand the point I'm making. I'm not even saying that,
[05:42:14] like, of course, these things are not important. Of course, they're important to cover.
[05:42:18] If you think, if you think personally that if like fucking Paris was being firebombed in a similar degree
[05:42:32] American media would be covering anything but that and that alone you're delusional
[05:42:38] They unfollowed you won't get a response. I know it's just like it's so it's so silly
[05:42:44] Or do you think Middle Eastern people are sitting there waiting for Western sympathy?
[05:43:12] I've been saying this in your chat
[05:43:13] But we know they don't care and don't understand even your chatters don't fucking understand long history and lived experience of that region
[05:43:18] the moment you understand that I don't care about you,
[05:43:20] you have a clear mind.
[05:43:21] I mean, I know that already,
[05:43:22] but I'm talking to Americans right now.
[05:43:24] Americans who do understand,
[05:43:26] and I'm explaining to them why the rest of society
[05:43:28] does not understand or care.
[05:43:33] Like more people in America that are paying attention
[05:43:35] to what the fuck's going on in Lebanon,
[05:43:37] give a shit about whether Hassan Nasrallah
[05:43:38] was assassinated or not,
[05:43:40] than the human toll that this has taken
[05:43:43] on, and the,
[05:43:44] and the toll that this has on Lebanese society.
[05:43:49] But even those who do care are usually just like think tank adjacent like wannabe fucking
[05:43:55] think tank Andes.
[05:43:56] First the pagers get in the walkie talkies and then essentially decimating as well as
[05:44:12] military leadership through target killing time and again.
[05:44:15] The irony of course is that the lack of hardening of our infrastructure that causes so much
[05:44:19] death and destruction here is because you know we only have money for one thing
[05:44:25] which is the offensive capabilities of Israel.
[05:44:28] it. So the irony is a lot of Americans literally don't even understand why they are bouldering
[05:44:35] towards their own domestic demise. Why the fuck do you think we don't have an adequate
[05:44:41] defense against natural disasters that keep increasingly worsening year over year? Why
[05:44:49] not? We are the wealthiest nation on earth. How the fuck are people in mainland America?
[05:44:55] Okay, we're not even talking about Puerto Rico at this point. Mainland United States
[05:44:58] it's consistently getting flooded over and over again.
[05:45:02] Obviously there are things outside of our control
[05:45:05] or at least like things that are somewhat in our control
[05:45:09] that we can mitigate that we're not doing
[05:45:11] in terms of avoiding further damage
[05:45:19] by accelerating climate change.
[05:45:21] But beyond that, we could be spending money
[05:45:25] to harden our infrastructure, right?
[05:45:29] We could be doing that.
[05:45:30] But we're not doing that because nobody wants to even admit the fucking climate change is
[05:45:34] real and it's disastrous.
[05:45:37] And there's simply not enough money to go around for hardening our infrastructure.
[05:45:40] We can't do that.
[05:45:41] We're too busy finding new ways of lasering brown children.
[05:45:47] Oh, yeah.
[05:46:06] The attitude is fuck Florida.
[05:46:08] We need to send 50 billion to Israel so their economy doesn't collapse.
[05:46:15] as Moody's downgrades them once again, unacceptable.
[05:46:20] Unacceptable act of anti-Semitism from Moody's, by the way.
[05:46:25] Someone needs to put an end to this.
[05:46:28] Crumptown Hall in Michigan is live.
[05:46:31] We'll do that again.
[05:46:33] This time he doesn't have Sarah Fuckabee.
[05:46:36] Seems like it's the same arena these days.
[05:46:38] The automotive parts of duct-a-lion
[05:46:40] for brake components, axle components.
[05:46:42] What's your answer to the automotive industry's problems?
[05:46:46] nuclear war.
[05:46:47] We're using jobs to China, India, Mexico, and it's become more difficult to compete.
[05:46:54] Manufacturers like us, we are some of the largest users of energy, and under Paris and Biden,
[05:47:02] the energy costs triple.
[05:47:04] So my question is, what would you do to get energy back down so US manufacturers can
[05:47:10] compete and bring it back to the jobs here?
[05:47:13] Yeah.
[05:47:14] So it's a great question.
[05:47:15] people have the same question because it's affecting the companies.
[05:47:18] I just left one, a man from the Netherlands.
[05:47:22] We made a speech, a wonderful guy.
[05:47:24] And he said the problem was he opened up because of me.
[05:47:27] He opened in 2017, and he had three great years.
[05:47:30] And now with them he's not doing well.
[05:47:33] What we're doing is, I said about the energy,
[05:47:36] is to what we do and how we do it.
[05:47:39] But China is coming in, and you said Mexico.
[05:47:41] Mexico is a big threat now.
[05:47:43] Mexico is taking a lot of your business.
[05:47:45] And we're not going to let that happen.
[05:47:47] We need a smart series of tariffs and taxes.
[05:47:51] We're going to bomb Mexico.
[05:47:52] Our simple business.
[05:47:53] You know, China won't take cars from outside of China.
[05:47:57] They only take them if you build in China.
[05:47:59] You have to build your factory.
[05:48:01] So if I'm making a car and I think I'm going to sell it
[05:48:03] into China, they have a massive 100 over 100.
[05:48:07] Good thing Trump didn't sign like a new version of NASA
[05:48:09] when he was president.
[05:48:10] I'm going to have to build my factory in China.
[05:48:13] And they encourage it.
[05:48:14] They help it.
[05:48:15] We're going to be doing the same thing,
[05:48:16] but we're going to do it even better.
[05:48:17] We're going to bring cars back.
[05:48:19] We're going to bring, like you say, what are you,
[05:48:21] auto parts and things like that, right?
[05:48:23] We're going to bring that all back to this country.
[05:48:25] It's all coming back.
[05:48:27] If they had to pay tariffs on what they're doing
[05:48:31] and what they're selling into our country,
[05:48:33] they wouldn't be putting your business out of business
[05:48:36] if that's where you're going.
[05:48:37] It will never happen, and we're going to do it
[05:48:39] just the opposite.
[05:48:41] Plus, we're lowering the tax rate.
[05:48:43] So I took it from 39% to 21%.
[05:48:48] These are for companies and that's why
[05:48:50] we had the great numbers for jobs.
[05:48:52] But now what I'm doing is I'm going
[05:48:54] and nobody thought that was possible.
[05:48:55] And I got it approved by Congress,
[05:48:57] believe it or not.
[05:48:58] Now we're going to 21, from 21 to 15%,
[05:49:02] but you have to make your product in the USA.
[05:49:06] So if you want to take advantage of the low tax rate,
[05:49:10] you have to make your product.
[05:49:12] So, we'll be down-
[05:49:13] Fuck it, lower to zero, bitch.
[05:49:15] Let's go.
[05:49:16] One of the lowest tax rates in the whole world,
[05:49:18] so it's more than competitive, companies will come here.
[05:49:22] But in addition to that,
[05:49:23] we're gonna keep this really terrible competition.
[05:49:27] I don't mind the word competition, but it's predatory.
[05:49:31] And we're gonna keep this competition out
[05:49:34] so that you're able to grow your business
[05:49:36] and grow it well.
[05:49:37] And you'll make the product
[05:49:38] and you'll sell it inside our country.
[05:49:40] I know
[05:49:43] Celebrating a corporate tax rate going down to 15% like it fucking impacts a single one of these people dude
[05:49:49] Like yeah, this guy the Jesus my savior guy
[05:49:52] He's like well, you know, I'm a I happen to be I happen to be a shareholder of Exxon mobile
[05:49:58] This is gonna look it's gonna pay dividends for my groggers
[05:50:02] senator my groggers and we've got
[05:50:07] Lisa McClain Congresswoman
[05:50:10] Yes
[05:50:13] Warrior yes, she is a warrior and the amazing incredible
[05:50:20] Congressman John James
[05:50:26] And they will help us
[05:50:29] Get this done. I I
[05:50:31] Appreciate that you talked about tariffs and I think it's so important that
[05:50:37] You continue to call out China and we support you on that
[05:50:41] because we don't want China building those plants in Mexico and then running
[05:50:47] those cars across the border. Without any tax whatsoever and putting everybody
[05:50:53] here in not only danger it's over. Your union head I don't know who he is
[05:51:00] Sean Fain or something. Whoever this guy is, he sold you out because he let
[05:51:07] That Biden, who doesn't know what he's doing, I mean, you probably noticed, he let this
[05:51:14] guy come up with an all-electric mandate.
[05:51:17] Those cars are all going to be built in China.
[05:51:19] We want cars built in the USA.
[05:51:22] It's very simple.
[05:51:23] And they're going to come in at levels.
[05:51:26] We'll be having auto manufacturing at levels that we haven't seen in 50 years.
[05:51:33] We're going to have a lot of companies coming in.
[05:51:35] And we're going to make it competitive so they can come in and they can thrive.
[05:51:39] Not like this gentleman where they come in and they dump product.
[05:51:41] And you know what they do.
[05:51:42] Oh, here, this is fun.
[05:51:45] Kamala Harris.
[05:51:46] And folks.
[05:51:47] Kamala Harris, 2019, President Trump's border walls are medieval vanity.
[05:51:52] And folks, on the subject of transnational gangs, let's be perfectly clear.
[05:51:58] The president's medieval vanity project is not going to stop them.
[05:52:03] you know it's crazy because she was right back then and we know the
[05:52:07] arguments right
[05:52:09] the white house and look at that comel Harris looking through the border wall
[05:52:13] there
[05:52:14] uh... down on the southern border
[05:52:17] and don't know what specific agency she's with their probably cd
[05:52:20] custom to border protection
[05:52:22] uh...
[05:52:23] the the
[05:52:25] media that is traveling we know the argument
[05:52:30] when i think president was border was a medieval vanity project twenty twenty
[05:52:32] for looks up and on that very medieval vanity project. God this country is so
[05:52:40] fucking stupid dude. We are such a dumbass country I swear to fucking God. Oh
[05:52:46] my god dude.
[05:53:00] Can you share what the agent at the last stop talks about?
[05:53:04] They need rightly support to do their job.
[05:53:11] They just aren't getting enough support dude. How is this language in any way, shape, or form
[05:53:16] different than what Republicans say about cops and border patrol. The real issues with border patrol
[05:53:22] is that they're simply not being respected enough. The real issue with the cops is that they're simply
[05:53:27] not being respected enough. They're not getting enough money, actually. And that's right, we're
[05:53:32] going to give them more money. And that's they're going to fucking show these these disgusting
[05:53:38] barbaric savage immigrants. What's what, you know, and they work hours, they're very
[05:53:43] dedicated. And so I'm here to talk with them about what we can continue to do to support them and
[05:53:50] and also thank them for the hard work they have put in. We're going to make them feel good about the
[05:53:56] hard work that they do. That's the problem. They're just not feeling good right now. They have
[05:54:01] imposter syndrome. We're going to fix the border by fixing the imposter syndrome. Good to go to
[05:54:06] war again. I think Rick Grinnell is here. Is Rick Grinnell here? I think so. Did a fantastic
[05:54:12] job yeah they're fighting I said if I you guys want to fight you want to kill
[05:54:17] people in your countries that's okay but if you do I'm gonna charge you 200%
[05:54:21] tariff to do business with the United States and that's it they call me back
[05:54:26] two days that sir we've made peace after years we've made it so you know it
[05:54:31] really does it has a great power to it there's a great power if you like
[05:54:36] what's the calculation here from them from the minds of the Democrats is
[05:54:40] the calculation that like, Americans want to do Hitler policies, but they want like
[05:54:45] a black woman to do it instead of like a white guy. Is that what it is? That was going on.
[05:54:51] You're like, you don't get it. Like Joe Biden was not the right guy with the right person.
[05:54:58] The right person to do the hit Larry and policies is actually a black woman. This
[05:55:03] way, it's a diversity W. Okay. It's sick. It looks a lot better on the optics front.
[05:55:11] Fuck it. Like, you know, abortion, who cares, right? Fuck it. Drop that one too. I mean, maybe,
[05:55:17] maybe in a couple of years. Oh my God. It's so sick. It's great.
[05:55:29] Leave it to anybody, but you had no zero estate tax. You had zero death tax, we call it.
[05:55:36] sometimes I like the word estate better than death but a lot of people use the
[05:55:39] word death and that was a big thing because you would have a farm and you'd
[05:55:45] leave it to your children and they have a big tax to pay they'd go out to the
[05:55:49] bank they'd borrow the money that ended up losing the farm and living like
[05:55:52] hell and part of our tax cuts this lady is about the fucking meet the
[05:55:57] estate tax soon it seems except just kidding of course none of these people
[05:56:03] are going to get hit with the estate tax because they don't have like $15 million dollars, okay?
[05:56:08] For those taxes, we'll have those tariffs. We're going to make those cars right here and then see
[05:56:16] them loaded on a teamster driven big rig and taken all across the country.
[05:56:24] And thank you to the teamsters. Did you know I got 60% of the vote with the teamsters?
[05:56:29] So thank you, Teamsters.
[05:56:32] That's the first time that happened in a long time.
[05:56:36] Yes, it is. Okay.
[05:56:37] Thank you, Teamsters.
[05:56:38] Our next question is from Ashley.
[05:56:41] Whoops, stepped on that water bottle.
[05:56:43] Hi, Mr. President.
[05:56:44] Hi.
[05:56:45] Thank you so much for coming to Michigan.
[05:56:47] My name is Ashley, and I work at the Chrysler plant.
[05:56:50] Like many auto workers, I am deeply concerned about the future of our industry,
[05:56:56] with many jobs being outsourced as we speak.
[05:56:59] What actions will you take to ensure
[05:57:02] that our jobs stay in America?
[05:57:04] So we can continue to build the best cars in the world here.
[05:57:07] We're gonna make sure that at the top of the hour,
[05:57:09] when there's a three minute ad break,
[05:57:11] you'll have enough disposable income
[05:57:13] to be able to avoid said ads.
[05:57:17] They say it's $6, it's gonna be free
[05:57:20] with a Twitch Prime by connecting your Amazon Prime account
[05:57:24] to your Twitch account.
[05:57:25] you get one free prime subscription a month. Use it on the Hassanabi broadcast. Hassanabi.
[05:57:34] Hassanabi. I call him. What do you have to say to your viewers that doesn't get irony?
[05:57:44] I don't know. I don't know the irony of what. Here's the three minute ad break now. Business
[05:57:52] away. And I didn't know too much about all I know is they were taking your car industry
[05:57:57] away from you. They said it never happened. And lo and behold, somebody said, I remember
[05:58:03] the event and then we found out and we had everything. We got the awards. We had everything.
[05:58:09] It did happen. But I gave a speech which at the time was pretty controversial. We can't
[05:58:14] let them take your car business away. Thank you for the 10 gifted subs allowing 10 little
[05:58:21] So communists, communist fascists, Marxists, no longer see the ads at the top of the hour.
[05:58:30] I don't know, it's like 19, 20 years ago.
[05:58:32] And I could repeat it now without changing a word.
[05:58:35] You cannot let foreign countries, and a lot of the times our worst foes are our so-called
[05:58:41] friends, okay?
[05:58:42] You know, our friends, the European Union takes tremendous advantage of us as an example.
[05:58:48] They give us cars by the millions.
[05:58:51] We don't have too many Chevrolets in the middle of European cities, okay?
[05:58:56] European Union is brutal.
[05:58:58] They don't take our farm products for the most part.
[05:59:01] They don't take a lot.
[05:59:02] But unlike Kamala, who always complains and doesn't do anything, I keep saying, why don't
[05:59:08] you do?
[05:59:09] I saw Marsha the other day.
[05:59:11] Why didn't she do it four years ago, almost?
[05:59:15] And I say that, you know, she's on the border today trying just to, what a day
[05:59:19] for the border.
[05:59:21] She goes to the border today, and they just announced just before she got up to speak that
[05:59:26] more than 13,000 murderers from jail, solitary confinement people in many cases, were released.
[05:59:36] But I just say, let's go back.
[05:59:38] So we can't let them take our businesses, we're not going to let them take our businesses,
[05:59:44] and you can control that so easily through good policy, not her kind of policy by
[05:59:50] By the way, she changed her policy 15 times.
[05:59:52] No fracking.
[05:59:53] Oh, I like fracking.
[05:59:55] Defund the police.
[05:59:56] She wants to defund the police now.
[05:59:57] Oh, I love the police all of a sudden.
[06:00:00] By the way, when anybody is into defunding the police even for a day during their career,
[06:00:06] they can no longer serve as President of the United States, I can tell you.
[06:00:14] So we're not going to let them take our businesses.
[06:00:17] And really a lot of that's determined by our taxation policy.
[06:00:21] When China has to pay all that money, the people that liked me the best were the steel companies
[06:00:26] because I saved them.
[06:00:27] They were dumping China and others, but mostly China was dumping steel in here at
[06:00:31] levels that nobody had ever seen before.
[06:00:34] And it was putting the steel companies out of business.
[06:00:37] I put a 50 and 100 percent tax on the dumping of steel and the steel companies thrived.
[06:00:44] I saved them.
[06:00:45] And you have to have the steel companies.
[06:00:47] So we'll do the same thing and you don't worry about it, here's what you have to do.
[06:00:51] I only ask you to do one thing and then you can sleep beautifully all night long, go to
[06:00:57] a job you love and get a lot of money at the end of the week.
[06:01:00] You know what the thing is?
[06:01:02] Vote for Trump.
[06:01:03] If you vote for Trump, everything's going to be taken.
[06:01:07] There you go.
[06:01:09] Everything is going to be taken.
[06:01:10] Yeah, vote for him, all the good things will happen.
[06:01:11] And vote for Tom, all the bad things will happen.
[06:01:13] We have Todd.
[06:01:14] It's that simple.
[06:01:15] We've got another question over here.
[06:01:17] is over here right there. Okay, he's got his microphone. Todd.
[06:01:21] Welcome, President Trump. First off, I want to say you and your family are in me, my wife's
[06:01:28] daily prayers. Thank you. May God continue to watch over you. Thank you, Reverend.
[06:01:35] Let's just do it. We are becoming increasingly dumber and more violent and more belligerent
[06:01:40] as time moves on. On the right hand of the spectrum, you have the Republicans that
[06:01:45] They're just basically collectively hallucinating a completely different reality than what is
[06:01:50] in front of our eyes.
[06:01:52] And on the liberal side, you have liberals bouldering towards the Republican party's positions
[06:01:56] of like only four years prior and actively yelling at anyone that even says, Hey, this
[06:02:02] seems kind of fucked up.
[06:02:04] This seems kind of weird.
[06:02:05] No.
[06:02:06] Don't you feel like things are getting worse and worse overall?
[06:02:09] And they're like, Oh, I guess you want to fucking, you want the QAnon sex offender
[06:02:13] party to fucking win.
[06:02:15] You fucking piece of shit. I bet you're queuing on to great stuff overall. Certainly, certainly,
[06:02:22] no one should take a deep breath and just like look at the situation with a, I don't know,
[06:02:26] like a, like a larger snapshot view. You got liberals chanting fucking build the wall.
[06:02:34] Okay. Kamala Harris is like, I'm going to be even more ruthless on the fucking border.
[06:02:39] Good stuff overall from every party involved. We are bouldering towards fascism straight
[06:02:44] up. Okay. Even if it's not this time, even if Kamala Harris does win, which, you know,
[06:02:50] I still maintain the position that she most likely will, uh, the next time around the
[06:02:55] next election cycle is going to be straight up, you know, not even 100% Hitler 110% Hitler
[06:03:01] versus 100% Hitler. Very cool.
[06:03:04] He liked it was Cadillac and I love I love it. I think it's a great car. I think it's
[06:03:16] right now it's really it's come a long way too because it's come through some
[06:03:20] problems but it's a very good car I buy a lot of them for different clubs and
[06:03:25] things and it's great and they're like do you want gay Hitler or do you want
[06:03:29] like crystal fascist Hitler for me does that make sense do you want prudish
[06:03:33] christian Hitler or do you want to take care of your situation you watch what
[06:03:37] happens when I do that and they're gonna be better positioned because I see
[06:03:42] what's happening with the layoffs but you're gonna be they're gonna be
[06:03:45] making, that's a good also, that's a good, I don't know what you call it, car, what would
[06:03:51] you call that, pretty much a car.
[06:03:53] He's the full package.
[06:03:54] They're going to be making more than they've ever made in a very short period of time.
[06:03:59] You have one thing to do, you have to elect a person with business talent and common sense,
[06:04:06] and this whole thing is going to turn around very quickly, very quickly.
[06:04:14] Thank you very much.
[06:04:15] Mr. President, they have loved having you here in Warren, Michigan.
[06:04:22] And I think you've got 5,000 people here and even more outside that have wanted to get
[06:04:31] in and cheer for you and be here to support you.
[06:04:34] And they do love you, absolutely.
[06:04:39] Thank you.
[06:04:42] Thank you.
[06:04:44] And everybody is going to be working hard and pulling for November 5th.
[06:04:52] And we've got great questions that have come from the audience tonight, and we're just so
[06:04:58] excited that you took your time to come here to a great, all-American city and talk with
[06:05:06] a whole bunch of auto workers and let them know you are on their side, and you're
[06:05:13] going to make manufacturing great because you believe in the oh yeah this is so funny
[06:05:20] as like it she posted this by the way while also also she's getting a lot of fucking steps
[06:05:27] in I see god damn okay that's a lot of active cardio right there that's a lot of activity
[06:05:34] honor Apple watch. This is additionally insane because this photo was posted at 11 48 a.m.
[06:05:45] Which happened to coincide with the Duhia strikes that Israel was engaging in. Here is Ambassador
[06:05:52] Linda Thomas who very famously said Palestine is not ready for statehood yet. Okay and
[06:06:00] voted against it at the behest of the United States at the UNGA.
[06:06:05] Here's her saying, Mr. President, when you came into office, you told the world that diplomacy
[06:06:10] would once again be at the center of our foreign policy, and you charged us with taking
[06:06:13] up the leadership mantle at the UN.
[06:06:15] I'm so proud that we have done just that.
[06:06:18] This is like nearing in a very, very short period of time George W. Bush levels of
[06:06:28] disastrous foreign policy for America. It is kind of crazy to think like we have gone,
[06:06:37] we have gone to levels worse than the Trump administration in terms of foreign policy.
[06:06:43] And that motherfucker assassinated an Iranian top general on Iraqi soil. Okay. If you think,
[06:06:53] And I mean this like 100% these, this last year of the Biden administration in terms
[06:06:59] of American foreign policy, unironically was more devastating than Trump's foreign policy
[06:07:06] in terms of America's soft power capabilities being diminished.
[06:07:10] Okay. It's obviously nowhere near as bad as George W. Bush, because you know, there
[06:07:18] is a layer of hell specifically designed for him and his administration, but it is
[06:07:25] crazy to me that these guys have deluded themselves. I don't know if they ever talk to like a normal
[06:07:32] human like maybe just like listen to your butler or something. I don't know. Just like talk to a
[06:07:37] single human being that is not a land-eared wearing dick skin who fucking is basically a
[06:07:45] lizard person wearing human flesh telling you that things are looking great in the Middle East.
[06:07:52] Okay, please, please, talk to a single fucking human. You are directly at odds with the overwhelming
[06:08:02] majority of the American population in terms of the ways in which the American population is viewing
[06:08:10] like America's involvement in global affairs, but you are absolutely at odds with the rest
[06:08:17] rest of the planet as well. Obviously the global South has always considered America to be a
[06:08:24] ruthless force of evil on the global stage, but now you're even losing majorities in the
[06:08:31] Western nations in the Western hemisphere. You're losing Western Europe in terms of your
[06:08:37] fucking undying loyalty to Israel. It is crazy to me that like it is crazy. They have
[06:08:44] just dropped any pretence that like America being the world police is actually like a necessary
[06:08:50] evil they're just like now we're incompetent we're ruthless and we're bad and we're getting
[06:08:54] fucking dog walked by our our attack dog we're getting fucking dog walked by our attack dog
[06:09:02] right now as it is violently lashing out at anyone that it can in its vicinity with
[06:09:10] American weapons and unlimited billions of dollars of weapons contrast going to
[06:09:14] Israel. I just want to for a moment speak about Teresa. We had some time to get it
[06:09:19] backstage and you know I think that in moments of crisis such as the fentanyl
[06:09:27] crisis there are people who through their suffering and their pain rise with
[06:09:35] with courage in such a selfless way,
[06:09:39] to be a voice for others with the anticipation
[06:09:43] and the hope and the hard work of hoping that their story
[06:09:46] will be the reason other people don't have that story.
[06:09:49] And you sharing your story about Jacob
[06:09:53] and your advocacy on why we have stopped this scourge
[06:09:58] is so incredibly important.
[06:09:59] And again, I applaud Theresa, and I know we all do.
[06:10:01] And our need to stop this issue is one of the reason that we are all here together today.
[06:10:12] I also want to thank the extraordinary elected officials who are here.
[06:10:16] Senator Mark Kelly came with me.
[06:10:22] He and his extraordinary wife, Gabby Giffords, traveled with me from Washington, D.C.,
[06:10:27] to be here.
[06:10:29] And Senator Kelly has been talking with me for quite some time about the importance
[06:10:34] of this visit.
[06:10:35] So I thank you in front of all of our friends for your work.
[06:10:37] Thank you.
[06:10:39] Thank you.
[06:10:42] Attorney General Chris Mays, who just tore up the floor.
[06:10:47] She is, you know, one of, I'm going to talk a bit about it
[06:10:51] in a minute, but some of the work that I have done
[06:10:56] in my career as Attorney General and watching her do
[06:10:59] the work that she has done as Attorney General really
[06:11:01] does emphasize the importance of having the right leader
[06:11:04] at the right time, in the right place.
[06:11:07] And that's who she is.
[06:11:09] Mayor Hewish, I thank you for the warm welcome.
[06:11:12] We've spent some time together.
[06:11:14] You've shared with me the needs of your community.
[06:11:18] And I thank you for your leadership as well.
[06:11:20] And to all the elected and community leaders here today,
[06:11:24] thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives
[06:11:26] to be here this afternoon.
[06:11:29] Before I begin, I do want to say a few words
[06:11:31] about Hurricane Helene.
[06:11:33] I spoke this morning with our FEMA Administrator, Chris Well, and President Biden and I, of
[06:11:39] course, will continue to monitor the situation closely.
[06:11:42] We have mobilized more than 1,500 federal personnel to support those communities that
[06:11:47] have been impacted.
[06:11:49] We have food, water, and generators that are ready for deployment.
[06:11:53] Why does it look like a paid sale?
[06:11:56] Am I crazy?
[06:11:58] We are working to restore power for millions of people who currently are experiencing outages.
[06:12:05] And I just want to stress and for the press that is here, to those who are watching.
[06:12:10] Sorry guys, I know we had some money allotted for recovery efforts but they must go to Israel.
[06:12:18] Sorry.
[06:12:19] Sorry.
[06:12:20] So I continue to urge everyone to please continue to follow guidance from your local
[06:12:25] officials until we get past this moment.
[06:12:29] So thank you all.
[06:12:30] And now I'll speak about, in particular, the people who
[06:12:35] are here today and why we are gathered here together today.
[06:12:39] So Arizona, I think you all know,
[06:12:42] and this is why you are here, there
[06:12:43] are consequential issues at stake in this election.
[06:12:48] And one is the security of our border.
[06:12:51] The United States is a sovereign nation.
[06:12:54] And I believe we have a duty to set rules at our border
[06:12:58] and to enforce them.
[06:13:00] And I take that responsibility very seriously.
[06:13:04] We are also a nation of immigrants.
[06:13:07] The United States has been enriched
[06:13:09] by generations of people who have come
[06:13:11] from every corner of the world to contribute to our country
[06:13:15] and to become part of the American story.
[06:13:18] And so we must reform our immigration system
[06:13:21] to ensure that it works in an orderly way, that it is humane, and that it makes our country
[06:13:29] stronger.
[06:13:30] So I've just come from visiting the border in the Port of Entry in Douglas.
[06:13:42] I spoke with dedicated agents from Border Patrol and customs officers who every day see the
[06:13:50] overflow of commercial traffic through the port.
[06:13:54] These men and women who work there and at other places along our southern border help
[06:13:59] keep our nation secure.
[06:14:02] And they need more resources to do their jobs, which is why we have and are in the process
[06:14:08] of investing half a billion dollars to modernize and expand the port of entry here in Douglas.
[06:14:20] And why last December I helped raise the rate of overtime pay for border agents and
[06:14:26] and also by a strongly supported, the Comprehensive Border Security Bill.
[06:14:34] Written last year, written last year as you know, by a bipartisan group of senators, including
[06:14:41] one of the most conservative members of the United States Congress, that bill would
[06:14:46] have hired 1,500 more border agents and officers.
[06:14:52] It would have paid for 100 inspection machines to detect fentanyl that is killing tens of
[06:14:59] thousands of Americans every year.
[06:15:02] It would have allowed us to more quickly and effectively remove those who come here illegally.
[06:15:09] And it would have increased the number of immigration judges and asylum officers.
[06:15:16] It was the strongest border security bill we have seen in decades.
[06:15:21] It was endorsed by the Border Patrol Union.
[06:15:26] And it should be in effect today, producing results in real-time right now for our country.
[06:15:40] But Donald Trump tanked it.
[06:15:42] He picked up the phone and called some friends in Congress and said, stop the bill.
[06:15:48] Because you see, he prefers to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem.
[06:15:55] the American people deserve a president who cares more about border security than playing
[06:16:02] political games and their personal political future.
[06:16:13] And so even though Donald Trump tried to sabotage the border security bill, it is my pledge
[06:16:19] to you that as president of the United States, I will bring it back up and proudly sign
[06:16:24] it into law.
[06:16:34] Let me say the issue of border security is not a new issue to me.
[06:16:40] I was Attorney General of a border state for two terms.
[06:16:43] I saw the violence and chaos that transnational criminal organizations cause, and the heartbreak
[06:16:51] and loss from the spread of their illicit drugs.
[06:16:54] I walked through tunnels that traffickers used to smuggle contraband into the United
[06:17:00] States.
[06:17:01] I've seen tunnels with walls as smooth as the walls of your living room, complete
[06:17:07] with lighting and air conditioning making very clear that it is about an enterprise that
[06:17:14] is making a whole lot of money in the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings.
[06:17:23] And my knowledge on how they work comes from the fact that I have prosecuted transnational
[06:17:28] criminal organizations who traffic in guns, drugs, and human beings.
[06:17:33] My team and I broke up a heroin trafficking ring in the Bay Area with ties to Mexican
[06:17:39] cartels.
[06:17:40] We took down a gang working with the Sinaloa Cartel to traffic methamphetamine into the
[06:17:45] United States.
[06:17:47] We seized millions of dollars worth of cocaine from the Guadalajara cartel and broke up
[06:17:55] a drug trafficking operation, including pill mills and so-called recovery centers
[06:18:02] that were pushing opioids with deadly results.
[06:18:08] As Attorney General of California,
[06:18:11] it was 10 years ago that I brought a bipartisan group
[06:18:16] of American attorneys general and led that group
[06:18:21] to travel to Mexico City to meet with Mexican attorneys
[06:18:26] general to address this issue, and in particular,
[06:18:30] to increase intelligence sharing on gang activity.
[06:18:35] All of which allowed us to prosecute-
[06:18:37] Why you never show Democrat presidential candidates?
[06:18:41] Who the fuck?
[06:18:44] Is this a fucking meme?
[06:18:45] What's happening right now?
[06:18:46] State of California, analyzing transnational
[06:18:50] criminal organizations and the threats they pose
[06:18:53] to public safety and to the economy.
[06:18:56] So, stopping transnational criminal organizations and strengthening our border is not new to
[06:19:04] me and it is a long-standing priority of mine.
[06:19:07] I have done that work and I will continue to treat it as a priority when I am elected
[06:19:14] president of the United States.
[06:19:25] And it is my pledge to you, understanding how solutions get formed, that I will reach
[06:19:33] across the aisle, and I will embrace common sense approaches and new technologies to get
[06:19:41] the job done, because I know transnational gangs coming across the border, trafficking
[06:19:51] in guns, drugs and human beings could care less who somebody voted for in the last
[06:19:55] election.
[06:19:57] They could care less.
[06:19:59] They've got one goal in mind, and it is therefore critically important that anybody who calls
[06:20:05] themselves a leader would work with other leaders for commonsense solutions, understanding
[06:20:17] the pain and the suffering that Americans are experiencing if we don't work together
[06:20:24] to fix these problems.
[06:20:27] And look, transnational gangs, one of the things I know about them, they are always innovating.
[06:20:33] So to disrupt them, we must do the same.
[06:20:36] And that means, again, working together in real time, grounded on finding common sense
[06:20:44] approaches, not just about some rhetoric at a rally, but actually doing the work
[06:20:52] of fixing a problem.
[06:21:04] And as President, I won't only bring back the border security bill that Donald Trump tanked.
[06:21:10] I will do more to secure our border.
[06:21:14] To reduce illegal border crossings, I will take further action to keep the border closed between ports of entry.
[06:21:23] Those who cross our borders unlawfully will be apprehended and removed and barred from re-entering for five years.
[06:21:31] We will pursue more severe criminal charges against repeat violators.
[06:21:38] And if someone does not make an asylum request at a legal point of entry and instead crosses
[06:21:45] our border unlawfully, they will be barred from receiving asylum.
[06:21:51] This is literally 2020 Trump positions.
[06:21:54] That many people are desperate to migrate to the United States.
[06:22:00] Our system must be orderly and secure.
[06:22:05] And that is my goal, and that is my goal.
[06:22:13] Securing our border also means addressing the flow of fentanyl into our communities.
[06:22:20] Fentanyl is a scourge on our country.
[06:22:24] The nature of it as a drug is such that it is highly addictive and it is highly lethal.
[06:22:33] So much so that using it one time only can be fatal.
[06:22:39] I have met far too many families, parents, loved ones, who have lost a family member,
[06:22:47] a child, to fentanyl.
[06:22:51] And their grief is heartbreaking.
[06:22:54] And the devastation caused by fentanyl is being felt from rural communities to big cities.
[06:23:01] impacting communities across our country, regardless of where they are geographically, politically,
[06:23:07] or any other demographic you choose to talk about.
[06:23:12] It's a scourge in our country, and we have to take it seriously.
[06:23:15] And as president, I will make it a top priority to disrupt the flow of fentanyl coming into
[06:23:21] the United States.
[06:23:31] And I know everyone here understands that most of the fentanyl in America comes from
[06:23:36] two cartels based in Mexico most often they are smuggling it through vehicles
[06:23:43] at legal ports of entry like the one I visited today wait the fact is border
[06:23:49] officers don't have enough resources and our only citizenship status a fraction
[06:23:55] of the vehicles that pass through their status this is unacceptable they need the
[06:24:02] resources to do their jobs and as we could have done with that border security bill, I
[06:24:10] will surge support to law enforcement agencies on the front lines more personnel, more training
[06:24:17] and more technology including 100 new inspection systems that can detect fentanyl hidden in
[06:24:24] vehicles, and we will make sure that our ports of entry, including airports and seaports,
[06:24:33] have additional state-of-the-art technology to detect fentanyl and the chemical tools
[06:24:38] used to make it.
[06:24:39] New particle has trumped up three in Arizona.
[06:24:40] I will also double the resources for the Department of Justice to extradite and prosecute
[06:24:48] transnational criminal organizations and the cartel.
[06:24:51] Yes.
[06:24:52] Yes.
[06:24:54] Keep completing that overview.
[06:24:56] Hey, hey, say who's bringing the fucking drugs in.
[06:24:58] I'm not sure that we target the entire country.
[06:25:00] Come on, come on, come on, please.
[06:25:02] Say who's bringing the drugs in. You're so close to the fucking border.
[06:25:04] Because we must materially and sustainably
[06:25:08] disrupt the flow of illicit fentanyl coming into our country.
[06:25:13] My approach takes into account also
[06:25:17] that the precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl
[06:25:21] are by and large made in China,
[06:25:24] and then shipped to Mexican cartels
[06:25:28] and trafficked right here into the United States.
[06:25:31] Our administration demanded that China crack down
[06:25:34] on the companies that make those chemicals.
[06:25:36] What happened?
[06:25:37] And it has started to happen.
[06:25:39] But they need to do more.
[06:25:41] And as president, I will hold them to their commitment
[06:25:44] to significantly reduce the flow
[06:25:47] of precursor chemicals coming from China.
[06:25:59] And all of this to say, we must tackle this issue from every angle.
[06:26:06] Because our highest charge must be to protect the lives of our people.
[06:26:14] It must be to understand the pain and
[06:26:19] to have the courage to know that solutions are at hand
[06:26:25] If we focus on fixing a problem instead of running on a problem, and on this issue writ
[06:26:42] large, we must ensure that our country remains strong and competitive, which includes fixing
[06:26:48] our broken immigration system.
[06:26:51] And let me be clear.
[06:26:53] I reject the false choice.
[06:26:54] I reject the false choice.
[06:26:57] That suggests we must either choose between securing our border or creating a system of
[06:27:04] immigration that is safe, orderly and humane.
[06:27:08] We can and we must do both.
[06:27:10] We must do both.
[06:27:23] Clear legal pathways for people seeking to come into our country.
[06:27:29] And we must make our current system work better.
[06:27:34] For example, it can take years for asylum claims to be decided.
[06:27:40] Well, this is a problem we can solve, including by hiring more asylum officers and expanding
[06:27:48] processing centers in people's home countries.
[06:27:51] We don't want that.
[06:27:52] We want you to kill them.
[06:27:53] And as president, I will work with Congress to create at long last a pathway to citizenship.
[06:27:59] Why is that not on the bill?
[06:28:01] Why is that not on the right wing border bill that was supposed to be bipartisan?
[06:28:05] Why was that not on the right wing bill that's supposed to be bipartisan dumbass?
[06:28:09] I think previous democratic administrations would have put that in the bipartisan border
[06:28:13] bill, I think.
[06:28:14] I also have in mind our dreamers.
[06:28:16] She ain't doing none of this shit, Chad.
[06:28:18] She ain't doing none of this shit.
[06:28:20] If she was doing any of that shit, it would be the fucking bill that she's talking
[06:28:24] about.
[06:28:25] There's so many of our dreamers.
[06:28:26] And I'd be chirping significantly less.
[06:28:27] be chirping because I'm like I still be upset at the fucking right wing border
[06:28:31] bill funding mechanisms the border wall and shit but they didn't even put that
[06:28:35] in there didn't put any of this shit as she's talking about in there there is no
[06:28:39] clear bill that will ever pass Congress all things considered there's no fucking
[06:28:44] clean bill that will be giving amnesty to fucking immigrants and also
[06:28:49] protecting dreamers that will ever pass Congress the same goes for
[06:28:53] farm workers who ensure that we have food on our tables and who sustain our
[06:29:00] agricultural industry and they too have been in legal limbo for years
[06:29:07] because politicians have refused to come together to fix our broken immigration
[06:29:14] system. Well as president I will put politics aside to fix our immigration
[06:29:21] system and find solutions, solutions to problems which have persisted for far too long.
[06:29:30] For far too long we have all known this is not working as it can and as it should.
[06:29:40] And so as I said at the beginning, these issues are highly consequential for our nation.
[06:29:46] And the contrast in this election is clear.
[06:29:49] It is a choice between common sense solutions and the same old political games.
[06:29:58] In the four years that Donald Trump was president, he did nothing to fix our broken immigration
[06:30:03] system.
[06:30:05] He did not solve the shortage of immigration judges.
[06:30:09] He did not solve the shortage of border agents.
[06:30:14] He did not create lawful pathways into our nation.
[06:30:20] He did nothing to address an outdated asylum system, and did not work with other governments
[06:30:27] in our hemisphere to deal with what clearly is also a regional challenge.
[06:30:36] As overdoses went up during his presidency, he fought to slash funding for the fight
[06:30:43] against fentanyl.
[06:30:44] His party's true.
[06:30:46] And what did he do instead?
[06:30:47] Well, let's talk about that.
[06:30:50] He separated families.
[06:30:53] He ripped toddlers out of their mothers' arms, put children in cages, and tried to end protections
[06:31:01] for dreamers.
[06:31:03] He made the challenges at the border worse.
[06:31:07] And he is still, and he is still, fanning the flames of fear and division.
[06:31:17] And let me be clear, that is not the work of a leader.
[06:31:22] That is not the work of a leader.
[06:31:25] And that is, in fact, I think we all believe, an abdication of leadership.
[06:31:39] And so on behalf of all across our nation, we are going to make the transnational
[06:31:45] national migrant gangs, trans.
[06:31:48] We cannot accept.
[06:31:49] Let me be queer.
[06:31:50] And we're going to make them to lead.
[06:31:54] We should not.
[06:31:54] We're going to give them bottom surgery.
[06:31:56] Skate goading instead of solutions.
[06:32:02] And let's see what's happening.
[06:32:04] Let's not permit skate goading instead of solutions
[06:32:09] or rhetoric instead of results.
[06:32:14] As your president, I will protect our nation's sovereignty,
[06:32:19] secure our border, and work to fix our broken system
[06:32:25] of immigration.
[06:32:27] And I will partner with Democrats, Republicans,
[06:32:30] and independents to do it.
[06:32:45] Arizona, it is time for us to turn the page
[06:32:49] on the ugly battles that have characterized our politics.
[06:32:55] And it is time to move forward together,
[06:33:00] to achieve real solutions that make our country stronger.
[06:33:05] And I know we can get this done.
[06:33:08] I know we have the will.
[06:33:11] I know we have the courage.
[06:33:13] I know the solutions are at hand.
[06:33:16] And I know we are ready.
[06:33:19] And so with all of that, I say, thank you.
[06:33:22] May God bless you.
[06:33:23] and may God bless the United States of America.
[06:33:26] And I'm trying to tell you that that wasn't true.
[06:33:37] There were some noticeable changes in the fucking rhetoric
[06:33:41] in terms of like being somewhat pro-immigrant
[06:33:45] except, and even including like,
[06:33:47] oh, we're gonna do a pathway for amnesty.
[06:33:49] We're gonna create a pathway for amnesty
[06:33:50] for migrants that are living on US soil right now.
[06:33:53] Which again, is an abject lie.
[06:33:56] Why is it an abject lie?
[06:33:57] Because if that was the case,
[06:33:59] it would be in the bill that you're promoting.
[06:34:01] If that's something that you actually cared about, you would say, we're going to go back
[06:34:04] to the table and we're going to make an actual bipartisan bill. Okay. We're going to put
[06:34:09] a bipartisan bill together where we're going to beef up border security only on ports,
[06:34:14] uh, ports of entry to ensure that the American citizens that are fucking funneling drugs
[06:34:19] into this country are apprehended at higher clips. Uh, but also make no mistake. It's
[06:34:27] not the immigrants that are bringing in the drugs. It's American citizens that
[06:34:29] bringing in the drug. So we, if you want to stop the drug flow into this country like I do,
[06:34:33] then you got to fucking make sure that you are beefing up our targeting systems while simultaneously
[06:34:40] making it so that these cartels aren't making a fucking killing on the other side of the equation
[06:34:46] by trafficking fucking migrants into the border. The best possible solution to eviscerate
[06:34:54] one of the funding mechanisms of the cartel. Where you going? Okay.
[06:35:01] Alright, have fun. The best possible way, the best possible way to stop funding mechanism for the
[06:35:10] cartel, get in his tracks from the, from its black market capabilities is to ensure that we have a
[06:35:18] faster processing system so that there isn't like any sort of issues at the border. That's a thing
[06:35:24] that you could be advocating for, but she's not. I also have a head Kamala Dickrider going viral.
[06:35:42] Oh god.
[06:35:42] Hi Austin Show, please tell us your name.
[06:35:44] He just walked away.
[06:35:45] Hey, my name is Austin Show.
[06:35:47] Cool.
[06:35:47] Austin, do you have a voting plan for 2024?
[06:35:49] Yes.
[06:35:50] I'm going to fill out my mail-in ballot.
[06:35:53] He looks pretty jacked, though.
[06:35:54] Well, it's in the state of Oregon,
[06:35:55] and then I'm gonna vote for Kamala Harris.
[06:35:57] I may vote twice.
[06:35:58] Don't do that, it's illegal.
[06:35:59] Oh, shit.
[06:36:00] Okay, delete that.
[06:36:00] Do you have a plan on where to put your voting sticker?
[06:36:04] Yeah, right in the ballot box.
[06:36:05] No, the sticker's what you get for voting.
[06:36:07] Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[06:36:07] I'm gonna put it, like, on the visor of my car.
[06:36:10] I think that's a great spot for it, honestly,
[06:36:11] because you can remind yourself I did my civic duty.
[06:36:14] Yeah, I fucking voted and I'll think of it
[06:36:16] every single day until I vote again.
[06:36:17] Do you have a soundtrack in your mind for voting?
[06:36:21] Hot to go?
[06:36:22] I don't know why.
[06:36:23] I love that.
[06:36:24] H-O-T-T-O-T-O.
[06:36:25] Yeah, H-O-T-T-T-O-T-O.
[06:36:27] The polls are going to be hot.
[06:36:28] Yes, they're absolutely going to be hot.
[06:36:30] Where are you voting from?
[06:36:30] I'm voting from down the street at the school
[06:36:33] in Hollywood.
[06:36:34] Hell yeah.
[06:36:34] Well, we know our states are going blue.
[06:36:35] Let's just move to a swing state.
[06:36:37] I'm not a swinger.
[06:36:38] I don't work late and I'm not a swinger.
[06:36:40] Is there any reason that you think queer people might be apprehensive about voting?
[06:36:43] They shouldn't be. No apprehension. Get out and vote, bitch.
[06:36:46] Do it. Austin told you to.
[06:36:47] Yeah, I told you to. Get to the ballot box.
[06:36:49] Fill out your mail-in ballot, especially if you're in a swing state.
[06:36:52] Go vote for Kamala Harris.
[06:36:54] Because f*** the other guy.
[06:36:55] We're going to Steamworks.
[06:36:56] Yes.
[06:36:56] Jackpact!
[06:36:58] My name is...
[06:37:05] This is why I'm an enemy to the LGBTQ community.
[06:37:08] Okay? Let me tell you.
[06:37:11] This is why I'm a foe, dawg.
[06:37:13] This is it. This is it.
[06:37:16] Anyway, let's hear, let's hear from a communist, pro-migrant Marxist socialist, okay?
[06:37:28] Parents were ripped, their kids were ripped from their arms and separated.
[06:37:32] And now they cannot find over 500 of sets of those parents and those kids are alone.
[06:37:39] Nowhere to go, nowhere to go.
[06:37:42] It's criminal.
[06:37:43] It's criminal.
[06:37:44] I will say this they went down we've wrote reporters everything they are so
[06:37:49] well taken care of they're in facilities that were so clean these 500 plus kids
[06:37:55] came with parents they separated them at the border to make it a disincentive to
[06:38:02] come to begin with they real tough we're really strong and guess what they
[06:38:07] cannot is not coyotes didn't bring them over their parents were with them
[06:38:12] They got separated from their parents and it makes us a laughing stock and
[06:38:16] Violates every notion of who we are as a nation. I'll be president United States
[06:38:21] Not vice president United States and the fact is I've made it very clear
[06:38:25] Within a hundred days. I'm gonna send to the United States Congress a pathway to citizenship for over 11 million undocumented people
[06:38:33] And who is this guy?
[06:38:35] Who's this guy? Who's this?
[06:38:38] Yo, who is this guy, bro?
[06:38:40] Jose Bideno. Huh? Jose Roberto Bideno? Who the fuck is this guy?
[06:38:57] And all of those so-called dreamers, those docket kids, they're going to be immediately
[06:39:03] certified again to be able to- I want to vote for this guy, bro. They talk that good
[06:39:09] shit, they give you that bad shit. You're going to tell me not to fucking write in
[06:39:14] this beautiful man's name. Okay. Jose Roberto. Jose Roberto Bidane. Do you think I'm not writing
[06:39:31] him in? I'm writing with Biden bro. This country put on a path to citizenship. The idea that
[06:39:39] they are being sent home by this guy and they want to do that is they go into a country
[06:39:44] they've never seen before. I can imagine you're five years old, your parents are taking it
[06:39:48] across the Rio Grande River and it's illegal. And you say, oh no, mom, leave me here. I'm
[06:39:55] not going to go with you. They've been here. Many of our models said over 20,000 are first
[06:40:00] responders out there taking care of people during this crisis. We owe them. We owe
[06:40:06] them.
[06:40:07] Damn, bro. Where was this? Where was this? Where's this been, bro? Where's this
[06:40:13] energy where's this energy that's why when mother fuckers tell me like oh man
[06:40:20] Kamala Harris gonna do so much okay Kamala Harris is gonna do what's up I did
[06:40:29] why are you in the discord of this Austin is mad Austin is mad you guys
[06:40:40] stop yelling at him here people hold on okay go people take a video like that
[06:40:49] that was recorded in Chicago during the DNC as if it was recorded like I like they pipe me in live
[06:40:56] from the streets of Chicago with Willem Belli right like what the fuck do you expect from an
[06:41:02] interview like that a street interview with the drag queen what the fuck do you expect
[06:41:08] you know you know i'm an undecided voter uh you know like i'm not voting for a genocide
[06:41:14] I'm not one of her holocaust hair is what you should have said. Oh shit. Austin is so mad. He's breaking. I have unendorsed Kamala Harris
[06:41:22] Okay, for president the United States, although I'm voting for her. Okay. That's my stance. I'm writing. I'm like I'm riding with Biden
[06:41:29] just like
[06:41:30] just like
[06:41:32] What do you call it? Just like?
[06:41:35] Chapel Roan, I stand with chapel. Okay. Uh-huh. I have the same take. All right. That's it the same take and
[06:41:41] And
[06:41:44] Yeah, that's it
[06:41:46] Hey
[06:41:47] look
[06:41:48] That's it. That's it and and I will be taking no further questions people come at me and discord like they're the fucking associated press
[06:41:56] Like seriously, you know, I don't what do you think about this? I have a really
[06:42:02] Every time I fucking I have a really easy suggestion. It's called just not looking at this court. Okay
[06:42:08] I think about that. Yeah. Have you, have you thought about that timing was impeccable?
[06:42:13] Could you've watched that on like Sunday, fun day or something like that? I mean, they
[06:42:16] sent it to me and they were like, what was he looking at Austin and doing what we totally
[06:42:20] expected him to do always? Yeah. Oh, fuck. Austin is now unendorsed Kamala Harris.
[06:42:26] Make that official. I've unendorsed. They're going to eat your ass on Twitter. They're
[06:42:30] going to be like, Austin, is he even gay? They're going to do the chapel run thing.
[06:42:34] I've unendorsed, but I'm still voting for, but I've unendorsed her for president until
[06:42:39] she stops, uh, until the United States stops, um, funding the genocide.
[06:42:50] That's it.
[06:42:51] Okay.
[06:42:52] Wow.
[06:42:53] Brave.
[06:42:54] I stand with the people of Lebanon and Palestine, just like my grandfather did.
[06:43:00] The comments.
[06:43:01] Loved him though.
[06:43:02] Comments.
[06:43:03] You look brawlican and at least
[06:43:10] You're wearing a bros for Harris. Oh
[06:43:13] My god, okay. Oh shit my cars here. All right get out of here, dude. Okay. We'll see you guys later
[06:43:21] I got it from artist alley. I
[06:43:24] Should have stole it from somebody that I know but um, all right get out of here
[06:43:30] Austin is hot to go to the polls everybody
[06:43:32] Austin Malis arc. Yeah, no, he's not. I'm going to I'm going to call I'm going to call in the question. His Lebanese status every day, every day going forward.
[06:43:53] Austin was also in this very important voting for this election Kamala Harris.
[06:44:02] Why didn't you still like Trump?
[06:44:04] No, oh yeah, I voted for him in 2016. He was going to make him a baby gun.
[06:44:09] No, but he didn't.
[06:44:10] He didn't. I was making money back then.
[06:44:12] I'm funny. I can't vote for a candidate who doesn't have the balls to concede when he
[06:44:18] lost. I can't vote. Listen, he won. No, no, you didn't listen to me. He lost and he didn't
[06:44:25] concede. That's un-American. So take your shit and get out of here. And if you support
[06:44:31] somebody, Joe, watch about the throw hands, dude. How about he throw some money in
[06:44:38] child support instead is an election and doesn't have the decency to concede but
[06:44:46] he won he did not win he lost and he didn't have the decency to concede
[06:44:52] so if you support that it was a get-eye it was a ballot so some of the dead
[06:44:57] votes fent fentanyl ballot but how many people normally die on tours of the
[06:45:04] capital. A lot of them died and the CDC just never reports it, right? You know what I mean?
[06:45:11] Because people die during normal tours of the capital. The CDC like doesn't report it.
[06:45:16] No, I think it's incredibly underreported.
[06:45:18] If you can take a ship anywhere you want the capital.
[06:45:20] Yeah, exactly. Anywhere. It's your constitutional right.
[06:45:24] It's so funny because they're both, you know, Austin is so lived up. You just got to see
[06:45:31] the full spectrum of Austin's political opinions. You just got the experience, the full spectrum
[06:45:43] of Austin shows, he contains multitudes, okay? His politics are indecipherable, incomprehensible
[06:45:51] to the average mind. And in many respects, he's simply the median voter. He's Mr. Progenery
[06:45:59] six who also is hot to go to the polls. Okay. It's all Antifa and FBI, but the people that
[06:46:07] are in jail, those are political prisoners. Absolutely. And they need to be released. Thank
[06:46:11] you for loving America. Of course. Oh, they all know who Austin is. Damn. Washington. This
[06:46:26] is them realizing Austin shows the background. You didn't know who Walter Mastin was when
[06:46:42] this happened? Yeah. I'm pretty sure he did. He told me, but I don't remember.
[06:46:50] We have an expectation on whether or not the Hezbollah leaders actually did or not.
[06:46:53] I missed a lot of today's coverage.
[06:46:54] We don't know at this moment.
[06:46:59] Also, decapitating the leadership of Hezbollah is not going to magically make Hezbollah
[06:47:07] go, oh, oopsie.
[06:47:08] I guess we no longer hate the country bombing us.
[06:47:11] So I don't know why people do this shit.
[06:47:14] We're like, yeah, there'll be a period of chaos if that is the case.
[06:47:19] But ultimately, this is a relatively short-sighted endeavor, like, I don't know why people think
[06:47:28] that.
[06:47:33] It's just weird, like, Hezbollah has a leadership structure, they have a chain of command, obviously
[06:47:44] within that leadership structure, within that chain of command, there's going to be
[06:47:47] other people that get elevated to that status.
[06:47:50] I don't know the inner, the inner workings of Hezbollah, but Hassan Nasrallah, isn't
[06:47:57] like the one guy, you know what I mean?
[06:47:59] He wasn't like single.
[06:48:01] He didn't single handedly cast a spell on the Lebanese population that made them hate
[06:48:07] Israel.
[06:48:08] Like, so you stop going after the person that's holding your children's kids hostage.
[06:48:16] Wait, what?
[06:48:20] I don't even know what you're talking about, brother.
[06:48:23] Who the fuck?
[06:48:24] Now, Hezbollah has, Hezbollah has Israeli children hostage. Is that what's going on now?
[06:48:32] My man literally does not care. He's just like, I heard Israel's enemies and I am automatically
[06:48:39] assuming that they are the same. It's extra funny because like Israel does not give a
[06:48:48] fuck about the hostages, like not even a little bit, but I can't even fault this guy for
[06:48:57] getting things mixed up, considering the coverage is literally identical down to the motherfucking
[06:49:04] sound when mentioning whoever is an enemy of the Israeli state today. Okay. Yeah. My
[06:49:21] man invented hostages in Lebanon, dude. It's crazy. It's wild cause like America's been
[06:49:38] doing this for the past like 20 plus years. America's been doing this for the past past
[06:49:44] 20 plus years and like it has been a demonstrable abject f**k of failure and people are still
[06:49:50] like, nah, nah, you don't understand this time is different. It's good this time. Okay. Sure.
[06:49:56] Yeah. That's what happens when you, when you execute, like even if, even if Hassan
[06:50:08] Nasrallah was assassinated, right? Like that's, what do you think is going to happen?
[06:50:13] You think people are just going to be like, Hey, I know we have all these weapons
[06:50:17] and stuff, and we've like hardened our defenses against an Israeli invasion, but we should
[06:50:22] probably just not do anything about it. If Israel does or when Israel does inevitably
[06:50:27] invade because the leadership structure changed. So now my motivation is no longer there.
[06:50:36] I'm not like more angry or anything. Yeah, they killed my cousin in the Beirut bombing.
[06:50:42] killed my mother in the Beirut bombing. Well, honestly, I feel like they had a right to do
[06:50:47] that, you know, because as someone who is a Lebanese man, I've decided Israel has a right
[06:50:54] to defend itself against my mother, who was sitting apparently by their assessment on top
[06:51:00] of Hasbolah munitions. So all good. My bad. I learned my mistake. My mistake, dude.
[06:51:25] Why has the Chad are not responded?
[06:51:26] Even the crippling of Hezbollah's defense doesn't start by the CIA guy earlier was correct.
[06:51:39] If that was correct, they wouldn't be fucking still lobbing missiles into Israel, which
[06:51:46] they are.
[06:51:48] So like it will at the very most, if they are dead, if a lot of the leadership structure
[06:51:56] is like decapitated, they will recover.
[06:52:00] it'll put like, it'll give Israel more time to potentially engage in a ground invasion,
[06:52:06] but I'm sure they have contingency plans for that sort of thing regardless.
[06:52:10] But ultimately, ultimately they will rebuild.
[06:52:15] You know what I mean?
[06:52:33] A lot of these, a lot of people don't understand, but they aided Hamas.
[06:52:39] Yeah, they did.
[06:52:44] And they are still continuing to do so.
[06:52:46] The CIA guy is right about the level of response from Hezbollah, but the rest of his assessment
[06:52:59] was trash.
[06:53:00] I don't even remember what Hezbollah's response was.
[06:53:04] Anyway, let's hear what they're saying.
[06:53:19] In large death toll, that's probably going to emerge out of today's bombings, but also
[06:53:24] the displacement of tens of thousands and potentially hundreds of thousands of people
[06:53:30] over the next day or two.
[06:53:32] And these are all tactics we saw play out in Gaza over the past 11 months, and
[06:53:37] are being imported to Lebanon. Yeah, that's an interesting point you make about the tactics,
[06:53:41] Mohammed. I mean, does Israel see this perhaps as an opportune moment now to keep up the pressure
[06:53:47] on Hezbollah? Israel talks about this escalate to de-escalate, and Netanyahu says
[06:53:52] they won't stop now, but Israel is pretty much taking its moment now, isn't it?
[06:53:57] It is, and this... I don't want revenge because the cycle, the reason he was killed,
[06:54:01] was revenge. The cycle needs to end. My cousin was blown up by a Libyan when,
[06:54:05] While coming home from college for Christmas. Okay, but that's wonderful
[06:54:09] But it's not like Libyans have invaded your fucking house and have also ended up, you know destroying your school or your mosque
[06:54:18] or your church
[06:54:20] And have complete control and an appetite for even more destruction
[06:54:25] You know what I mean?
[06:54:27] Like this is why this comparison rings hollow as long as
[06:54:31] As long as Israel as long as Israel maintains
[06:54:34] it's like unlimited destruction and death in the region. Of course people are going to continuously
[06:54:42] hate that. It is the most normal position, right? I didn't mean like that. Okay. But like, that's the,
[06:54:52] that's the entire point that I'm making. I mean, we should stop killing brown people. Yeah, but
[06:54:56] Israel's not operating on the basis of revenge anyway. They're not doing this because of some
[06:55:02] fucking weird notion of like vengeance. They're doing this because they want land. So,
[06:55:12] Israel, Israel has an unlimited appetite for death and destruction in the region. They've shown
[06:55:17] that time and time again, and an unlimited appetite for continuously occupying larger and
[06:55:23] larger swaths of land in the territory under the guise of security commitments to their own
[06:55:29] population. So ultimately, they're not going to stop, but they can be made to stop. They
[06:55:37] can be made to stop by the one country that has been funding and facilitating this omega
[06:55:42] genocide that they're engaging in. So that's it. We could stop them, but we won't. We
[06:55:55] are not.
[06:56:02] spoke at the UN General Assembly. It just showed a tremendous disdain for international law in the UN.
[06:56:10] Correct me if I'm wrong, but Hezbollah did attack Israel first.
[06:56:15] You mean like post-October 7? Is that what you're talking about? Hezbollah alongside the rest of
[06:56:21] the resistance, the axis of resistance against American and Israeli aggression in the region,
[06:56:27] operating unison with one another. It's because Israel actually bombed Gaza that Hezbollah
[06:56:32] said, stop this now or we will actually make it so that your northern territories are gone.
[06:56:41] That's it. What the same exact same principle holds for Ansar Allah as well. But if you're
[06:56:49] asking like did Hezbollah attack Israel first? No, Israel attacked Lebanon first and then Hezbollah
[06:56:56] came into existence. The Lebanese invasion is what created a necessity for a resistance movement.
[06:57:08] You know, a force that would defend Lebanese territory from Israeli incursion, Israeli attacks.
[06:57:17] That is how Hezbollah came to be. Okay, what's going on? I click away from the other thing
[06:57:27] with hopes that there is more informative than everything reported by the U.S.
[06:57:34] since October 7th.
[06:57:35] Mr. Country, the hot fight is up.
[06:57:36] More than Lebanon.
[06:57:37] I mean, everything in the world did not begin on October 7th.
[06:57:39] 1978, Israel and May, southern Lebanon.
[06:57:41] 1982, Israel and May, southern Lebanon.
[06:57:43] Sabra and Shatila massacre.
[06:57:45] 2006, second Lebanon war.
[06:57:47] Murder 100 people.
[06:57:48] But you always make it sound like they're just doing this to the sake of it.
[06:57:51] They're not.
[06:57:52] What are they doing it for?
[06:57:53] Well, they've been provoked by Hezbollah.
[06:57:54] Hezbollah didn't exist in 1970, please.
[06:57:56] Okay.
[06:57:57] I'm talking about the specifics of going on now.
[06:57:59] The provocation since October the 7th has bought us first response
[06:58:04] Yeah, October the 7th. Yeah was to unleash rockets on Israel. That's not true on October the 8th
[06:58:09] It is what happened. Where did they fire the first rocket? They fired rockets on the 8th. Where?
[06:58:15] Will you tell me? No, no, you just said they fired it Israel. Where?
[06:58:19] He's gonna say they fired their first rockets on occupied territory that wasn't that isn't even Israeli territory to begin with
[06:58:26] which is correct. They fired them direction of Israel. Where did they hit? They fired them
[06:58:30] with the Sheba farms. I do. They fired up the Sheba farms, which as I said earlier is
[06:58:34] an area of Syria. Well, the Lebanese claim it's Lebanon. Syria claims it's Lebanon. Israel
[06:58:39] says no and it's occupying the Sheba farms. They fired Israeli military installations
[06:58:43] in the Sheba farms. Have they got fired in Israel? They were firing a scenario that
[06:58:48] Israel says is theirs. Oh, okay. Well, you know, now Southern Lebanon is going
[06:58:54] be an area that Israel says is theirs and then when they fire rockets in the southern Lebanon,
[06:58:59] that will give more cause to Israel to go and invade and encroach further and further into
[06:59:05] Lebanese territory. It almost feels like this is 1948 all over again. 1948 is 1967. It's the
[06:59:15] Israeli invasion of Lebanon. This is how the justification occurs. This is how there is
[06:59:20] a permission structure designed around Israel doing this over and over again. How the fuck
[06:59:25] do they do this every single time? Oh, sorry. Well, we declared this territory to be ours.
[06:59:30] You're firing rockets at it. Now we're going to fire rockets back at you. And you're going
[06:59:34] to be like, okay, fuck you. Now we're going to fire rockets in the Northern Israeli territory.
[06:59:38] All right. Hit for tap, baby. 80% of the fucking rockets, meanwhile, are actually
[06:59:42] from the Israeli side going into Lebanon. Mind you, no, Israel doesn't say that
[06:59:51] Israel says it's Syria.
[06:59:52] Because remember, P.S. Israel is occupying Syria
[06:59:54] and the West Bank and Gaza
[06:59:56] and Lebanon would argue parts of Lebanon.
[06:59:58] This is the problem, right?
[06:59:59] The core of the problem is Israel's territorial expansion.
[07:00:02] It's a mess.
[07:00:03] Attacks, what a mess.
[07:00:04] It's Israel occupying multiple Arab lands
[07:00:07] which leads to quote unquote resistance
[07:00:10] or quote unquote terrorism, whichever word.
[07:00:12] I don't care what word you wanna use right now
[07:00:14] but that is the core, right?
[07:00:15] You had John Miershamer on the show this week
[07:00:17] made the same point, deal with the occupation
[07:00:19] then you deal with the violence.
[07:00:21] And look, has Hezbollah fired into Israel at seven o'clock?
[07:00:23] Yes, I don't agree with that.
[07:00:24] But the reality is 82% of the exchange of fire
[07:00:29] between Lebanon and Israel since October the 7th
[07:00:31] has been done by Israel.
[07:00:33] Nailed it.
[07:00:34] He hit all the talking points.
[07:00:36] He hit all the fucking points.
[07:00:41] America organized an imaginative Russia attack Canada.
[07:00:43] So America fired back at Russia with Canada.
[07:00:45] That's basically the same logic they used.
[07:00:47] Yes, xenophobia, what are you responding to?
[07:00:59] 39 months of Islamophobic subscribers
[07:01:02] Tori gonna Tori well now we're just xenophobic you could have word a bit differently you big it
[07:01:09] Israel was a mistake Pierce Morgan is so stupid Tori gonna Tori fucking reactionary British fucking cuck you're mad at that
[07:01:16] Are you crazy?
[07:01:18] British chatter
[07:01:21] British people are so funny bro come on be a little bit more embarrassed. It's like the same principle behind like like I
[07:01:26] I spent every goddamn day shitting up and down everything that America does, okay?
[07:01:32] The moment that we turn the crosshairs to like America 1, America 1.0, not America 2.0,
[07:01:39] which is current America, and British people are like, oh, hi, mate, how dare you fucking
[07:01:45] hell, it's 1 AM out here, all right, and I'm watching, what's your fucking mouth,
[07:01:51] We are hot.
[07:01:52] You fucking what?
[07:01:54] Start with this fucking British racism.
[07:01:57] How dare you?
[07:01:58] It was nice when you were fucking making fun of the Americans.
[07:02:03] Well, how dare you make fun of the Brits
[07:02:05] at the top of the fucking hour nonetheless?
[07:02:09] He's at the top of the fucking hour.

[07:03:30] Or my
[07:03:31] The son never says son in the empire.
[07:03:39] I can't even tell if this is a British chatter or an Australian one.
[07:03:42] What is this?
[07:03:47] More of Matthew Cook and Pierce on the episode.
[07:03:49] Rhetoric.
[07:03:50] I wish I didn't have to compare Donald Trump to Hitler.
[07:03:53] But when he quotes the lines from Mein Kampf as a journalist.
[07:03:56] Lav Amri.
[07:03:57] As a journalist, should I not point out that?
[07:03:58] You shouldn't compare him to Hitler because he's not working with him.
[07:04:00] Okay, so what should I do?
[07:04:01] So I'm a...
[07:04:02] Yeah, no one...
[07:04:03] You can't compare...
[07:04:04] You can't compare anybody to Hitler.
[07:04:06] You shouldn't even learn about Adolf Hitler, actually.
[07:04:08] We shouldn't even be teaching Adolf Hitler, because he's a once in a lifetime guy, okay?
[07:04:13] Like, there's no reason to learn about Adolf Hitler or the Holocaust, like, no lessons
[07:04:18] to be fucking learned from any of those things, you know?
[07:04:22] Like, this is, like, the fundamental reason why we teach this shit in schools, which
[07:04:28] by the way, I don't think we teach this shit in schools well enough, seemingly.
[07:04:32] Like, what do you mean, dude?
[07:04:36] Why? But like there is no, ah, no, no one never, never again, never again means it will
[07:04:44] never happen again. Of course. He's certainly not happening now. They talk about him like
[07:04:51] he's the go.
[07:04:52] The journalist Donald Trump says immigrants are poisoning our blood. I go look in history.
[07:04:57] Who's the only person who said that Hitler? Should I not tell my viewers on Piers Morgan
[07:05:00] uncensored? Should I go? Can't tell him that. No, you can say you can say he
[07:05:04] shouldn't use language like that. Can I say he's you can't say he's the
[07:05:08] new. I mean, I don't know if he's a new Hitler. There's definitely a lot of hit Larry and politicians
[07:05:19] out there. There's a long list, dude called him the new hit. I've never called him the
[07:05:22] new except the people. But you say I'm allowed to say I'm allowed to say he's quoting him.
[07:05:26] You can if he uses a direct sentence, which you can chart back almost directly the same.
[07:05:31] Yes. Absolutely fair enough. But the idea that there was any comparison between Trump.
[07:05:35] No, of course not. Hitler is Hitler. We know that.
[07:05:37] Is appalling. Hitler is Hitler.
[07:05:39] Hitler is appalling.
[07:05:40] No, but I want to qualify what you're saying.
[07:05:42] He agrees to appalling. What is appalling?
[07:05:44] To compare him to Hitler.
[07:05:45] To compare him to what sense, though?
[07:05:47] To calling him the new Hitler.
[07:05:48] Yes, and no. Don't call him the new Hitler.
[07:05:49] Is that appalling?
[07:05:50] My God, I'm not playing the silly game right now.
[07:05:51] Give me a word.
[07:05:52] I don't want you to put your words about it.
[07:05:53] Give me a word. I can't even make a word.
[07:05:54] I think it's not accurate to say he's new, the new Hitler,
[07:05:57] because Hitler killed 12 billion people.
[07:05:59] Yes, not true. Not offensive.
[07:06:00] But can I, if you let me finish the sentence?
[07:06:02] No, it's not. It's not offensive. I think it's ridiculous to claim that like Hitler is some unique specimen of evil. Dude, what the fuck?
[07:06:11] The entire purpose of learning about Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany is so that we understand all the material conditions that primed a person to be able to do that.
[07:06:19] And also how the entire world could basically turn a fucking blind eye specifically German society could turn a blind eye.
[07:06:26] Except, if you kind of read into that a little bit too much, you start noticing the parallels
[07:06:30] between Israeli society and Nazi Germany, and then all of a sudden it's like, oh, that's
[07:06:35] a weird thing to think about.
[07:06:36] Yeah, we shouldn't do that, actually.
[07:06:38] Don't learn about Hitler.
[07:06:39] I take it back.
[07:06:41] Don't learn about any of that, okay?
[07:06:43] Don't, yeah, who cares?
[07:06:45] It just happened in the past.
[07:06:46] The past is the past.
[07:06:47] Come on.
[07:06:48] Come on!
[07:06:49] like, like, come on, dude. Oh, fuck. Like, this is kind of like a liberal version of being
[07:07:05] like, well, did he say he was a Nazi? You know what I mean? You know how like Nazis
[07:07:09] will always do engage in like, Holocaust revisionism or whatever. And then be like,
[07:07:14] well, actually, how dare you call this obvious neo Nazi a Nazi? After all, did
[07:07:21] And he say he was a Nazi and you can play that song and dance all the way to like everyone
[07:07:26] but Hitler virtually to be like, well, they didn't fucking actively petition it or whatever.
[07:07:31] Right. And it's all a lie. It's like, that's why we say if you're sitting at a table with
[07:07:37] one Nazi and there's 10 other people, then that means there's 11 fucking Nazis at the
[07:07:41] table. All right. Straight up. And that's instructive in understanding how fascism thrives
[07:07:49] and fascist actions thrive in modern society as well. And unfortunately that comparison
[07:07:55] might hurt your feelings because it's literally, virtually what is going on in identical terms
[07:08:04] in Israeli society. Israeli society is held together by a resilient and quite unfortunate
[07:08:13] bloodlust for permanent military occupation everywhere they can get it. Okay. And also
[07:08:20] supremacist attitudes, ultra nationalist supremacist attitudes for the in group,
[07:08:25] the in group being Jewish people. That's it. Like,
[07:08:33] they can masquerade around and say it's for self determination. It's for sovereignty. It's for,
[07:08:40] Or we have to create a Jewish nation state as well as a right to defend itself over and
[07:08:48] over again, where you can't keep saying that.
[07:08:51] It's not like the Germans didn't say that, you know what I mean?
[07:08:53] They said that too.
[07:08:54] They said the exact same shit, actually, identically.
[07:08:58] Just the in-group outward was different.
[07:09:13] I speak to a lot of fascism scholars, people at Ruth Bendier, Jason Stanley.
[07:09:18] A lot of people say that there is an analogy between what Trump is doing in America now
[07:09:22] and what happened in places like Germany in the 20s and 30s.
[07:09:24] No, there is.
[07:09:25] But you, I respect your opinion.
[07:09:27] I respect your opinion that you don't think it is.
[07:09:29] Give me an example.
[07:09:30] I'm not having that argument.
[07:09:31] I'm trying to make a separate point, which is if fascism scholars are saying, we look
[07:09:35] at history and we make comparisons, they are scholars of fascism and they're saying,
[07:09:39] hey, hold on, the rhetoric is very similar.
[07:09:41] The way they're operating is very similar.
[07:09:43] That is it.
[07:09:44] That first of all.
[07:09:45] By the way, he's talking about Trump here, not even Israel, which a comparison
[07:09:49] within Israel is also apt. The comparison for America is also apt as well, 100%. Our appetite
[07:09:57] for destruction is also endless, even though, unlike Nazi Germany, whereas like the Israel
[07:10:06] comparison is better for Nazi Germany because of the personalized aspect of it almost because
[07:10:10] it's like violence that it's dishing out to its own subordinates, basically its own
[07:10:16] people that it's held captive for generations. Whereas with America, we have like streamlined
[07:10:21] the process. It's a machine of death and destruction, but it's far away. So it's easier to not really
[07:10:26] think about it, which is why you always have in American society, people of two minds, people
[07:10:32] that are like, hell yeah, America being the world police is great, but also simultaneously
[07:10:36] like, I don't know if we should be spending so much money on war, right? Like that's
[07:10:41] not necessarily the same in a country that is hyper militant like Israel, especially when
[07:10:47] like the violence that they're dishing out is directly in their doorstep. You know what
[07:10:52] I mean? America got done with his ethnic cleansing campaign, a long time ago with its
[07:10:57] indigenous population, even in terms of it's like chattel slavery regime, right?
[07:11:03] So it's, it's easier for us to whitewash the wrongs of the past while still maintaining
[07:11:08] certain aspects of that, uh, certain aspects of that white supremacist attitude, whereas
[07:11:14] Israel is currently engaging in it.
[07:11:16] So that necessitates more propaganda and that creates like a deeply personal connection
[07:11:22] to dishing out that violence.
[07:11:24] So you can just like, I don't know, hold a fucking rave next to a concentration camp.
[07:11:29] You know what I mean?
[07:11:30] That's like, not a thing you can do in other circumstances.
[07:11:33] Like you can only do that if you're turning a complete blind eye to all this violence.
[07:11:37] By the way, I don't care.
[07:11:38] xenophobic bigotry Britain has done more to pull some losses from Israel than America has and I'm Australian by the way oh
[07:11:47] My god
[07:11:48] dude
[07:11:53] If you think that I'm not sufficiently shitting on America every goddamn day
[07:11:57] I don't know if you're hearing the words that are coming out of my mouth at all
[07:12:02] Okay, and England can take some of that smoke too. God damn
[07:12:06] Australian's some of you are the coolest people I've ever met in my life and some of you are such
[07:12:12] Peasant brain cooks it is mind-boggling. No wonder you are still under the Commonwealth. Holy fuck dude
[07:12:21] Have fun changing your coins or whatever the fuck's going on. Jesus Christ
[07:12:28] Is it's actually shocking
[07:12:37] You can't make fun of my country not on my watch dog. It's even worse. He's defending England as an australian
[07:12:46] Like, did you learn nothing, dude?
[07:12:49] Why did your fucking ancestors get merked to Turkish machine gun fire in fucking Gallipoli?
[07:12:56] Huh?
[07:12:57] Why?
[07:12:58] Because the penal colony was sent there.
[07:13:02] Like, what are you talking about, dude?
[07:13:05] You should have so much more smoke for England than even me.
[07:13:09] Dummy.
[07:13:12] It's so weird.
[07:13:17] Mate!
[07:13:20] it's funny to have this level of like allegiance and defending England's awful
[07:13:40] reputation as an Australian guy that's really funny or free speech they should
[07:13:45] be you can't hate on friends I'm Algerian by the way you said you used to be the
[07:13:51] free speech champion I am and then you said regulating everyone's feet I'm
[07:13:54] calling I'm not I'm asking you just told me I asked I call it appalling
[07:13:58] regulating what you're saying you're asking you can you bring it in
[07:14:01] yourself to condemn people who say he's the new Hitler. I don't know who those
[07:14:05] people are. JD Vance called him the new Hitler and he's his running mate. So take
[07:14:08] it up with JD Vance. Call him on your show. You can do any one of the lefties as
[07:14:11] it's a right. I guess what though? Who says he's the new Hitler?
[07:14:14] Specific. Those specific words. The new Hitler. Yes. Okay. Is he speaking? Oh
[07:14:18] God dude. Matthew, don't play this fucking game dude. It's so annoying.
[07:14:23] It's such an unproductive game to play with this fucking baboon in his
[07:14:29] Like Hitler? Yes, he is. I can actually be condemned. Do you condemn him speaking like Hitler?
[07:14:34] Yes. Does that not outrage? Of course. He's not your pal. Why don't you tell him to stop it? Of course.
[07:14:38] Have you ever told him to stop quoting Hitler? Yes, probably. I come over the last thing he did
[07:14:41] was before or after, but if I do again, I will. Yes, of course. Good. And hosting a holocaust
[07:14:45] tonight at Mar-a-Lago. Yes, Nick's went. It's absolutely a commender. Have you told him to
[07:14:49] stop doing that? I said it on Twitter to him. Don't let white supremacists anywhere near you.
[07:14:53] Why are you doing that? No, that's not condemnation.
[07:14:55] Don't let white supposed is anywhere near you. Why are you doing that while also simultaneously quoting it off Hitler?
[07:15:01] sir
[07:15:03] Mr. President sir, why are you doing that it quite seems like you like it?
[07:15:09] seems to me like
[07:15:11] You're giving people the wrong impression. Well, maybe the right impression. I don't know
[07:15:17] That's a question. I think it's in them. It's disgusting. It's appalling. It's a pool of good. Oh, yeah
[07:15:22] I agree with my speech. I love what we agree.
[07:15:29] Anyway, good stuff.
[07:15:31] It's unseemly, my good sir.
[07:15:35] How dare you? Unseemly, I say.
[07:15:41] Where's Paul, him?
[07:15:43] He's late. He's going to be late today.
[07:15:51] Trump versus Harris Middle Ground.
[07:15:53] Why do you all want me to fucking watch this, bro?
[07:15:55] Oh, Hassan, I've been hit in the building. OK.
[07:16:04] From third world is offensive to me, bro,
[07:16:06] because you're talking about us
[07:16:08] did kasia reach out to you about khalia williams before the execution no
[07:16:14] subhuman no it's not that it's a subhuman who are as developed as we are so they're the third world
[07:16:19] so if you're stoning women after they've been raped in the bible let me let me know no no no no no no
[07:16:26] damn dog he got it there there's a big there's a big epidemic of Haitian stoning women after
[07:16:33] after they got raped, or Venezuelans, or whatever the fuck this guy's argument is.
[07:16:39] That's cool. I did VIP Mason yet.
[07:16:41] And from Iran, and it happens now.
[07:16:43] Another day, another episode of Middle Ground.
[07:16:46] Hi, my name's John. I'm the host of Radical Empathy,
[07:16:49] and I will be moderating today's episode
[07:16:51] between Harris supporters and Trump supporters.
[07:16:54] Our first prompt is...
[07:16:55] The video is loud, I know. It's like much louder than me.
[07:16:58] No matter what my candidate does, I will still vote for them.
[07:17:03] I mean, I'd be lying if I said if Trump came out in a crowd and just started, you know,
[07:17:15] yelling at people, calling them stupid, or like, did something crazy that I wouldn't
[07:17:19] still vote for him.
[07:17:20] It would have to be like, walk out in Times Square, shoot someone in the face, kind of
[07:17:24] thing.
[07:17:25] Like, it would have to be something outrageous for me to not vote for him right now, and
[07:17:28] that is only because these are the only two choices I have, which sucks for us as
[07:17:34] American people.
[07:17:35] We should have a lot more choice in this.
[07:17:36] We should have had more debates.
[07:17:38] We should have had more people involved in the debates.
[07:17:40] It would just, it would take a lot for me
[07:17:42] not to vote for him just because I care so much
[07:17:44] about securing our country and my right to own firearms.
[07:17:49] So for me, we know Kamala's character.
[07:17:51] And so even thinking if she does the worst thing ever,
[07:17:54] would I still vote for her?
[07:17:55] Yeah, because I know the worst thing that she could do
[07:17:57] wouldn't even be the best thing that Trump does, right?
[07:17:59] Like she, the bars are very different.
[07:18:02] In addition to that, of course I'm gonna vote for her
[07:18:04] because Trump is such a terrible alternative.
[07:18:06] I'm afraid to see what our country would look like.
[07:18:08] I'm voting for a comma for pragmatic reasons.
[07:18:11] January 6th made Trump ineligible in my eyes.
[07:18:16] He's a traitor.
[07:18:17] He disrupted 200 years of peaceful transfer of power
[07:18:23] for his own selfish reasons
[07:18:25] that he'd now admit that he'd lost by a whisker,
[07:18:28] sarcastically, according to him.
[07:18:30] Let's bring in our disagreeers.
[07:18:37] People think it like really upset at Donald Trump
[07:18:40] for January, things are so funny to me. It's like our entire system is fundamentally broken,
[07:18:45] dude. Like it's like, I'm sorry, out of all the things that Donald Trump did, okay, out
[07:18:53] of all the things that Donald Trump did, awful shit, okay, senseless deregulation,
[07:18:59] so aggressive that like even fucking certain big oil, uh, participants had to be like,
[07:19:06] right dude. We're actually fucking up the bag a little too much. Um, and insane tax cuts
[07:19:12] for the mega wealthy and corporations for absolutely zero reason at a time for record
[07:19:17] high profits, like completely fucking up the pandemic response that led to the deaths
[07:19:24] of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Like there's so many things that you could point
[07:19:29] to, that like, I'm sorry, January 6 does not even reach the top five. Okay. Like the intensity
[07:19:38] in which people talk about January 6 or like Donald Trump's desperate attempts at trying
[07:19:44] to in the stupidest way possible overturn the results of an election is hilarious to
[07:19:50] me. It's like, dude, this country sucks dick. Okay. It sucks. It fucking sucks. We're not
[07:19:59] doing, we don't have healthcare. We barely have any sort of fucking financial help for
[07:20:04] people that are suffering. And, and you're over, we're giving unlimited dollars to, you
[07:20:10] know, genocide dares all across the globe. We spend way much time, way more time, effort
[07:20:15] and emphasis on like, uh, maintaining America's global posture, which is death and destruction.
[07:20:21] And you're over here at no gun control, abortion rights have been taken away, and you're over
[07:20:27] here fucking being like, man, that January 6th thing, it's like really mad, it makes
[07:20:31] me so mad.
[07:20:32] Each of you have to steal the election.
[07:20:33] It's like, bro, the system is collapsing in front of your fucking eyes, and you're
[07:20:37] most frustrated about that.
[07:20:39] Come on, dude.
[07:20:40] I'll go first again, like, one of these two people are getting in, uh, right
[07:20:44] now my choice is Kamala Harris that doesn't mean that anything that she does is going
[07:20:47] to keep that support. My biggest issue right now is the genocide going on in Gaza, propagated
[07:20:53] by both the Trump administration and the Biden administration. You could say that prior
[07:20:57] to October 7th there was peace going on between Israel and Gaza as I've heard a lot
[07:21:00] of Trump supporters say. That's just factually inaccurate, especially with the Abraham
[07:21:03] Accords, especially with moving the embassy to Jerusalem. These are things that I'm
[07:21:07] very critical of Trump on and I'm still having trouble announcing my support for
[07:21:11] Kamala Harris. It was a big moral decision to even come on the show in support of her,
[07:21:16] but that's because I don't support her again. I think that Donald Trump is going to be somebody
[07:21:20] that's far worse for the country than she will be.
[07:21:22] So did you know that this is the lowest civilian to combatant death rate of any war in recent
[07:21:31] history? Did you know that?
[07:21:33] I'm responding to that because I can't just let your word genocide go because it's
[07:21:41] It's not a genocide. If it was a genocide, it would have ended two days later and it
[07:21:44] would have been planned, everyone would be dead.
[07:21:46] So it's not a genocide.
[07:21:47] Yeah.
[07:21:48] This is not a good argument, man. When the fuck will psychopathic Israel defenders understand
[07:21:59] it, being like, if they wanted to, they could fucking kill even more people. Oh, okay.
[07:22:04] Got it. Sick. That's what we're doing. That's what we are looking at the morality
[07:22:10] of a situation over, okay? Uh, your honor, I know I killed 40 families, okay? But if
[07:22:18] I wanted to, I could have killed 100 families. Guess what? Calling me a serial killer in
[07:22:24] this situation is bad faith. Bad faith, I tell you, I could have killed a lot more
[07:22:30] and I only chose to kill 40 families. Okay. How dare you, your honor? I say bad faith.
[07:22:37] I say the fuck that's not an argument dumbass shut the fuck up
[07:22:52] It's also stupid because like okay hitler
[07:22:56] Genocideed 12 million 11 million total people. I think that's the full number six million jews
[07:23:03] There were six million other jews. So I guess that's not a fucking genocide is an insane argument
[07:23:07] If you made that argument, I'd be like you're a holocaust denier, okay
[07:23:12] The fuck do you mean and it's not like he did it in one day
[07:23:15] It's fine.
[07:23:21] But I want to hear, go back to the prompt.
[07:23:24] You came in because you disagreed.
[07:23:25] Yeah.
[07:23:26] You wouldn't vote for Trump unconditionally.
[07:23:27] No, no, of course.
[07:23:28] I mean, I think as a moral human being that comes from a place of love with strong core
[07:23:33] values, I can't just give anyone, you know, carte blanche that no matter what you do,
[07:23:37] you're going to have my love and support.
[07:23:39] But from, you know, barring anything crazy like the situation that Joe mentioned,
[07:23:46] you know, it's pretty much 100%.
[07:23:47] and actually I am part of Jewish Voices for Trump,
[07:23:50] and I really appreciate all of the things that I did.
[07:23:53] Oh, I'm a part of Jewish Voices for Trump.
[07:23:57] I was at the seminar that he gave on anti-Semitism,
[07:24:00] where he was like,
[07:24:01] what the fuck is wrong with you Jews?
[07:24:03] I gave you everything about Israel.
[07:24:05] That's all you care about.
[07:24:06] Everybody knows that Jews have like a bone in their brain
[07:24:09] that causes them only to care about Israel and nothing else.
[07:24:12] Why the fuck are only 40% of you voting for me?
[07:24:15] And I loved it.
[07:24:16] As a part of the Jewish Voices for Trump, I loved when he said that.
[07:24:21] He is so right to say that.
[07:24:23] Things that he's done for the Jewish people and for the state of Israel.
[07:24:32] What has he done?
[07:24:33] Okay, for the state of Israel, yes.
[07:24:35] What has he done for the Jewish people?
[07:24:38] A Trump supporter went into a synagogue in Pennsylvania and killed 13 Jews.
[07:24:47] Okay?
[07:24:48] He was a Trump supporter who had now decided he was out flanking Trump.
[07:24:52] He was like, still operating on Trumpian attitudes, by the way.
[07:24:55] He was like unlimited immigration, Jews are causing this.
[07:24:58] And honestly, I fucking hate it.
[07:25:00] And Donald Trump is not doing enough about it.
[07:25:02] So I'm going to take matters of our hands.
[07:25:04] That's what he said.
[07:25:05] We know that's what he said because he wrote about it on gab, which is still a website
[07:25:08] that functions.
[07:25:09] I don't know how, which is gab for those of you who don't remember is basically
[07:25:13] what Twitter is now.
[07:25:15] But it was, you know, back then Twitter was too liberal.
[07:25:18] So they were like, we need a place to put all the Nazis in one area.
[07:25:21] Okay.
[07:25:22] wrote about it he was like yeah Jews are bringing Jews are bringing unlimited
[07:25:27] amounts of immigrants into the country so I'm gonna go kill them that's what he
[07:25:30] said okay huh wonderful thing that Donald Trump did for the Jews or who could
[07:25:39] forget when Donald Trump did that other wonderful thing for the Jews when Nazis
[07:25:44] marched on the fucking streets of Charlottesville and said Jews will not
[07:25:48] replace us and said blood and soil and fucking swung their swastika flags around. And then
[07:25:54] Donald Trump turned around and said there were very fine people on the side of the Nazis too.
[07:25:58] I mean, calm down. Okay. Hold up now. Was that was that a good thing that Trump did for the Jews?
[07:26:09] Like in terms of things that Donald Trump did domestically for the Jewish demographic,
[07:26:16] like, not exactly great. Okay. Obviously if we're talking about working class Jews, same
[07:26:24] principle Donald Trump was dog shit for working class Americans across the board, including
[07:26:28] working class Jews, you know, um, if we're talking about like anti-Semitism specifically,
[07:26:34] his fan base fucking love that shit. So the idea that like the idea that Donald Trump
[07:26:39] did a lot for American Jews without talking about Israel is a really silly thing.
[07:26:45] Seems like seems to me like Americans don't really American Jews don't really give a shit about Israel all that much
[07:26:49] I mean there are definitely some who do this person included
[07:26:52] But it's far from like the number one priority for American Jews because guess what they don't live in fucking Israel
[07:26:58] They live in America shut the fuck up
[07:27:02] Okay, goddamn
[07:27:04] It's so stupid
[07:27:10] All as well so the next prompt is Harris beat Trump in the debate will be agreeers. Please step forward
[07:27:17] He can never openly support Jewish people or Israel. His supporters would crucify him.
[07:27:24] You're wrong. His most anti-Semitic supporters that aren't Nazis, that resemble the exact
[07:27:30] same opinions of Nazis also happen to be evangelical Christians. They love Israel. They don't love
[07:27:36] Jews. They hate Jews, but they love Israel. There's a theological justification for it.
[07:27:40] I'm not going to get into it right now, but make no mistake. Donald Trump loves
[07:27:44] Israel literally more popular in Israel than Benjamin Netanyahu and more popular in
[07:27:49] Israel than he is here in the United States of America. That is a fact. A fact that he even
[07:27:54] recognized at the anti-Semitism conference as a matter of fact. Let's continue.
[07:27:58] We're all looking at you. I'm happy to see you join us.
[07:28:02] I am. Unfortunately, when I watched the debate, you know, a lot of Republicans were saying
[07:28:07] that Trump was going to completely obliterate Kamala Harris. And I was one of those people,
[07:28:12] but I'm the kind of person I got to be factual and honest. I can't lie to myself.
[07:28:15] Let's get the obvios.
[07:28:16] We're always got the Trump hat on and he's somehow more rational than all the other
[07:28:20] Trump supporters.
[07:28:21] He's somehow more rational than all the other Trump supporters.
[07:28:24] How is that even possible?
[07:28:25] He is out of the way.
[07:28:26] It was a little bit bogus against Trump with one versus three.
[07:28:29] The only fact check.
[07:28:30] Trump, they didn't really fact check common as much as I think they should have.
[07:28:33] But we don't have the fact check when we're telling facts.
[07:28:37] And basically the only time that they did fact check was we don't murder babies
[07:28:43] after nine months and Haitians aren't eating dogs in Ohio.
[07:28:47] What?
[07:28:48] I don't think evangelicals hate Jews.
[07:28:50] That's just not true.
[07:28:52] Brother, brother, okay, let me tell you something, okay?
[07:29:00] If your fucking religious justifications for the maintenance of Israel being given
[07:29:07] to the chosen sons of God ends up in that story with all of the Jews burning in eternal
[07:29:14] Hellfire then I don't think you give a fuck about Jews at all.
[07:29:18] Okay?
[07:29:19] Like, what do you mean?
[07:29:23] Dude, evangelical Christians that have a religious justification for maintaining Israel as a Jews
[07:29:29] don't burn in Christianity?
[07:29:31] Yes, they do!
[07:29:33] Jews that will not convert to evangelical Christianity when the rapture comes around
[07:29:37] when Jesus Christ is fighting Megiddo, or fighting Satan's armies in Megiddo,
[07:29:42] The ones, the Jews, that don't convert to evangelical Christianity will absolutely burn
[07:29:46] in eternal damnation and hellfire, just like the rest of us non-believers, okay?
[07:29:51] Brother, evangelical Christians think Catholics are gonna burn in hell.
[07:29:55] What the fuck are you talking about?
[07:29:58] That's not specific to all Jews though, that's everyone?
[07:30:00] What are you saying?
[07:30:05] You're agreeing with me?
[07:30:13] The hate isn't for Jews, it's just ignorance.
[07:30:15] Yeah, okay.
[07:30:17] Imagine an American Christian having any meaningful level of religious literacy. No, of course not.
[07:30:31] No, dude, you don't understand. They're equal opportunity haters, not just Jews. I don't
[07:30:37] think it stems from anti-Semitism, though. Listen, anti-Semitism is pretty widely shared
[07:30:44] in general. The notion that like Jews are somehow a monolithic force, they're an outsider
[07:30:49] that they like control the media, they control powerful institutions and they all operate
[07:30:55] with the same fucking interest that interest happens to be Israel in this circumstance.
[07:31:00] But in general, like total and utter domination, a lot of Americans, not just evangelical Christians,
[07:31:05] also maintain these beliefs.
[07:31:07] The reason why I find it funny with evangelicals in particular is because they are so pro-Israel,
[07:31:13] but then at the end of that story, all the Jews die.
[07:31:17] I think that's hilarious that they're like, oh yeah, we love Israel and Israel. Hi, brother
[07:31:21] But also they're all gonna die and burn and burn and hell if they don't convert to Christianity
[07:31:26] But then beyond that
[07:31:28] I've heard I've seen like I know
[07:31:32] How evangelicals operate in general, especially in the fucking deep south where they're segregated where they're not exactly around
[07:31:38] Jewish people in general where they like will somehow
[07:31:41] simultaneously believed that like, you know, Jews are the chosen sons of God, but
[07:31:46] also they're magic money people who might have horns and tails. Like it's just
[07:31:50] being pro-Israel does not automatically make you not an anti-Semite. As a
[07:31:55] matter of fact, more anti-Semites are pro-Israel, okay? That's true, though.
[07:32:02] That's true for sure. Okay, I don't think you meant like Jews are magic
[07:32:09] money people with horns. That's not what you were saying. That's true for sure too.
[07:32:14] Okay. Anyway, like the greatest example I will always use is Pastor John Hagee, a very
[07:32:32] famous televangelist who Israel loves. Okay. He was literally at the pro-Israel rally
[07:32:37] in DC. John Hagee famously said Holocaust was good because it led to the creation
[07:32:42] of Israel. Okay. He also said Hitler was Jewish and that he, he did the Holocaust
[07:32:48] so that they could create Israel.
[07:32:50] So, you know, not exactly a guy who I think is,
[07:32:56] I don't know, even remotely considered a pro-Jewish man.
[07:32:59] Overall, he is pro-Israel, however.
[07:33:01] He's very pro-Israel, so Israel loves him.
[07:33:04] Israeli envoys love him,
[07:33:06] but not necessarily pro-Jew if you catch my drift, okay?
[07:33:12] Well, Kamala Haver's perpetuated the myth
[07:33:15] that Donald Trump said there are five people
[07:33:16] on both sides, even though Politico came out and said that this is missing a lot of context.
[07:33:21] Do you need to see the video?
[07:33:23] When Trump said they're up on people on both sides, he was talking about two kinds of people.
[07:33:26] One, were historians who wanted to keep the Robert E. Lee statue in place.
[07:33:30] Yikes, this streamer, what?
[07:33:33] So untrue, how does anyone watch this?
[07:33:35] Law, a guy who was in Step foot in Israel, spewing such things?
[07:33:38] So untrue, Hassan?
[07:33:40] Wait, imagine speaking for the majority of Jews, though.
[07:33:43] of all, I don't give a fuck about speaking for the majority of anything. I'm just speaking
[07:33:47] for humanity and what my moral position is on any issue. Okay. I'm anti genocide across
[07:33:53] the board. Sorry. If that frustrates you. But also nothing I said about pastor John Hagey
[07:34:00] was untrue. I wasn't even talking about Jews. I was talking about evangelical Christians.
[07:34:05] You said get owned. What? Okay. You might be a little stupid to understand words that
[07:34:13] coming out of my mouth. It's okay though. We'll catch up with you in a little bit when your mind reboots.
[07:34:19] And the other group were people who wanted to tear the statue down.
[07:34:21] So the Antifa, the left wing individuals, and the historians. These were the two groups of people
[07:34:27] he initially were talking about. Now the neo-Nazis and the white supremacists and the hooligans who
[07:34:31] came to interrupt. This was an outside group. To be fair using a televangelist is kind of
[07:34:37] bad faith. That's fucking crazy to say. Using a televangelist is an example of bad faith.
[07:34:41] this person commands the fucking will of thousands. Are you kidding me? He was invited to speak at the
[07:34:50] pro-Israel rally in Washington DC. That is an insane thing. He's one of the leaders. What are we talking
[07:34:59] about? What the fuck? And that's just one example I just used. There are many others.
[07:35:09] Did you just, what's the argument here? Former believers by seminary student here,
[07:35:13] that's not entirely true using a televangelist as an example is bad faith. You're right. The famously
[07:35:19] not famous televangelist. I didn't even just say like an evangelical pastor with a small congregation.
[07:35:25] I used a very specific, very famous televangelist for a very specific reason. And you're in here
[07:35:32] making the argument that televangelists are not, especially this one in particular, are not
[07:35:37] famous or influential what the fuck that's crazy who came to Charlottesville to
[07:35:49] stir up trouble so when people say that they are I just really have to stop
[07:35:53] when Donald Trump is referring to them as historians when we're talking about
[07:35:57] people who chant the Jews chatter said the founder of Christians United for
[07:36:02] Israel the founder for Christians United for Israel the largest pro-Israel
[07:36:08] group in the United States of America by donations is actually an insignificant small being in
[07:36:16] the grand scheme of things. Just a small guy, you know, just your local pastor, dude. He's
[07:36:23] just got some crazy ideas. Like what is happening, dude? Then Trump is not representative of
[07:36:28] the Republican party. He's just a small bean TV guy, you know, what the fuck? Who can
[07:36:33] Can I use as an example, if not that guy, he is literally the guy.
[07:36:40] That's crazy, man.
[07:36:41] We'll not replace us.
[07:36:46] And neo-Nazi chants that were used in World War II, in the public of Charlottesville.
[07:36:50] What it seems like is historians that were sympathetic to keeping the statues in public
[07:36:53] areas.
[07:36:54] And we're talking about a statue of Robert E. Lee, a civil war general.
[07:36:56] But even the historians that you're referencing, if they were actual historians, once you
[07:37:00] want those types of statues in something like a museum or somewhere where people can
[07:37:03] and learn the historical context, not in a public audience.
[07:37:06] Talk about what those historians did.
[07:37:08] They enslaved your people.
[07:37:10] I think we've covered just so you know,
[07:37:12] I think we've covered this part.
[07:37:13] Remember the prompt is, I think,
[07:37:15] that there is no need for you to talk about the prompt.
[07:37:18] Yes, to be honest, I want to extend a,
[07:37:20] just a mad, I have mad respect.
[07:37:22] Absolutely.
[07:37:23] For anybody here, any Trump supporter
[07:37:26] who will stand here in this room
[07:37:28] and say anything in support of the guy
[07:37:31] who gave that debate performance.
[07:37:34] Literally speaking as a Filipino person who, for years,
[07:37:39] we have a play named Dog Eaters on us.
[07:37:43] It was dog eating and othering of meats were used
[07:37:47] to other us and to make us feel like some other kind of
[07:37:51] different dehumanizing thing because we're eating
[07:37:53] people's pets and now they're putting it on Haitians
[07:37:56] and now there's bomb threats in Ohio
[07:37:59] because of this ridiculous thing that he spewed
[07:38:03] because he-
[07:38:04] W-onk though, A-one-yapper, yeah, he loves Yavin.
[07:38:07] Got triggered because Kamala talked about
[07:38:09] how people were walking out of his crowds
[07:38:11] because he's bored and tired and senile.
[07:38:14] And the main reason why I am sitting down
[07:38:16] is because Donald Trump took too much bait.
[07:38:18] I think that that kind of performance
[07:38:20] was okay against Biden.
[07:38:21] And if you guys know,
[07:38:22] that's a lot of the things he said against Kamala,
[07:38:23] he said against Biden about the abortion,
[07:38:25] the baby being killed after it's born.
[07:38:27] He never should have said that.
[07:38:28] about a lot of the points that he made,
[07:38:30] he made against Biden and he did it against Kamala too.
[07:38:33] But the thing is Biden literally just fell apart
[07:38:36] and quote unquote died on stage what we saw last time
[07:38:39] and that's why they switched them out with Kamala.
[07:38:41] So I guess Trump kind of,
[07:38:42] I was expecting him to change his playbook.
[07:38:45] If you have to go after her.
[07:38:46] Okay, this video is much better than the other format,
[07:38:48] the 20 v one format.
[07:38:50] What's hard to go after her record
[07:38:51] when she's impeccable, right?
[07:38:53] We have the, we have the prosecutor,
[07:38:55] an attorney general, a senator and a vice president.
[07:38:58] So it was for him to go after her, you know, he can't go after her policy because it's
[07:39:02] good.
[07:39:03] All he can do is make the same old, she said it herself, the same old playbook and that's
[07:39:06] what we saw.
[07:39:07] And she totally destroyed him.
[07:39:08] She came with facts.
[07:39:09] She also, you know, just pointed out how ridiculous the things were that he was saying,
[07:39:13] you know, to your point about that, you know, eating dogs and all of that stuff.
[07:39:16] I mean, none of it was factual.
[07:39:18] It had already been released that none of that stuff is true and he's still
[07:39:21] going to pull it.
[07:39:22] But I respect you for coming forward.
[07:39:24] So we're going to pause here.
[07:39:25] We're going to bring in our disagreeers.
[07:39:30] So I would say that when I judge, you know,
[07:39:33] my kids play sports.
[07:39:35] When I judge who won, who didn't won,
[07:39:38] I want it to be an even playing field.
[07:39:40] And I think it should be a fair contest.
[07:39:42] And I know you guys love Kamala Harris.
[07:39:45] And you think she has an impeccable record.
[07:39:47] Kamala.
[07:39:48] Kamala.
[07:39:48] But CNN has pronounced it 12, 20 times on record.
[07:39:52] We're dealing with that.
[07:39:53] We're dealing with that.
[07:39:54] If you're just like every other person.
[07:39:55] As semantics, you guys, let's not get stuck.
[07:39:57] Let's go to policies.
[07:39:58] Let's cheer them on.
[07:39:59] Let's cheer them on.
[07:40:00] So...
[07:40:01] Let's go past this and hear the rest of this.
[07:40:02] Yeah.
[07:40:03] So I think that there have been a lot of things that have been fact-checked by social media
[07:40:07] influencers and commentators like myself on Ms. Harris's policies and what she said
[07:40:12] as well.
[07:40:13] And there are certainly things that could have been fact-checked on that end as
[07:40:16] well.
[07:40:17] Like what?
[07:40:18] And I want to say to you, I too am an immigrant.
[07:40:19] My family escaped on the back of a pickup truck from Iran in 1985 while being shot at
[07:40:25] by border police.
[07:40:26] I spent a night in the Pakistani deserts we were caught and we had to escape and it took
[07:40:31] six months for my family to come here not speaking English.
[07:40:35] We left everything behind, started from nothing, living in a two bedroom apartment with eight
[07:40:38] people in it.
[07:40:39] The reason why I say that is, you know, America is the greatest country on earth
[07:40:43] and to erase its history instead of learning from it is what they did in China.
[07:40:48] unburdened what has been, unburdened what has been, and looking forward to what can be is
[07:40:58] literally what was used by people trying to get rid of the old and bringing in the new
[07:41:02] world like China, Communist Party.
[07:41:04] Well the people being affected by those statues are telling you what it's doing to us.
[07:41:08] Correct.
[07:41:09] Iranians are the Cubans of the Middle Region.
[07:41:10] This is a fucking Hassanabi position.
[07:41:13] I've been, I've said this, I've said this so much.
[07:41:17] not all Iranians obviously, but Iranians living in Los Angeles, okay?
[07:41:23] Prodigyans are so fucking Cuban diaspora coded, it is crazy, okay?
[07:41:32] Shawriders, especially.
[07:41:34] He's the one that's adjusted to go to the same.
[07:41:37] Just for telling you a lot about the statues, but we do want to hear about the debate.
[07:41:41] Let's just switch back to the debate.
[07:41:42] If we want to talk about the statue again later, we totally can.
[07:41:45] I don't think either one of them won the debate.
[07:41:48] Who are the Cubans of Asia?
[07:41:50] The Cubans of Asia are older Vietnamese
[07:41:53] and the Cubans of Africa, I don't know.
[07:41:56] I don't know who would be like the closest
[07:41:58] to the Cuban diaspora among Africans.
[07:42:02] But I think like, I think the older Vietnam population
[07:42:08] very, very right-wing.
[07:42:12] I wouldn't even say,
[07:42:13] I wouldn't even say like South Koreans
[07:42:15] that same degree, honestly. Why South Africans? Okay, that doesn't count, dude. Come on. Come
[07:42:24] on. Egyptians? Eh, not really. Why South Africans doesn't count? That's like, come on,
[07:42:36] that's just like British by a different name. Okay, calm down. Well, like not, no, not
[07:42:47] even Nigerians, because like Nigerians fresh off the boat, maybe, but Nigerians like
[07:42:52] two years into living in America and recognizing that like Americans make no distinction between
[07:42:58] you and other black people in the same way that you thought there was a distinction that existed.
[07:43:04] Once that, once that goes away, it's like, it's, it's over. No, and as you should have
[07:43:31] think, they're better than us other black people. No, I don't, I don't know, maybe,
[07:43:36] I don't think so. You'd be surprised the whole black American versus African discussions. No,
[07:43:40] I'm very familiar with the black American versus african discussions. I am very very familiar with it
[07:43:44] It's just that that kind of goes away after you're like first or second police stop
[07:43:49] In the United States of America because then you realize like oh shit. Okay, never mind. Anyway, let's move on from
[07:44:10] black people business I
[07:44:12] Feel like the only people that really lost were other than them was the American people just I mean
[07:44:18] I imagine we can all kind of agree on that nothing was really said nothing was really, you know
[07:44:23] We're gonna do this we're gonna do that but nothing ever actually gets done
[07:44:26] I think as far as the debate goes Trump dropped the ball on a couple things the Medicare or Medicaid
[07:44:33] Conversation or question that that he received he kind of I can't believe there are Iranians or transporters. Oh my god
[07:44:40] my friend
[07:44:42] My friend
[07:44:45] Let me tell you something
[07:44:48] You have never been to Los Angeles, my friend. Okay.
[07:44:52] Saying I can't believe there are Iranians or Trump supporters is like saying I can't believe there are Cubans who are Trump supporters.
[07:44:58] It's the opposite where you're like, I can't believe there are Iranians that are not Trump supporters.
[07:45:06] Bro, he destroyed us. What do you mean? Yeah.
[07:45:15] Yeah, because you're Iranian. I don't think they see it the same way.
[07:45:23] I dropped the ball on that one, but other than that, it was just a bunch of zingers and
[07:45:38] my faggin force and cutting your hand up to make sure that the other side knows that you're
[07:45:44] judging the, you know, I'm judging you, Trump, like it was, it was more show than anything.
[07:45:49] Kamala handles herself.
[07:45:50] I'll give you that.
[07:45:51] Like Kamala did a lot better than a lot of people thought she did.
[07:45:55] I think that's why a lot of people are saying she won because we all, you know, she
[07:46:00] did better than Biden.
[07:46:02] And anybody that did better than Biden, it's like, hell yeah, we have a winner, guys, but
[07:46:07] at the end of the day, that was a low bar.
[07:46:09] Yeah.
[07:46:10] We're going to reset.
[07:46:11] Hey, before we go any further, we want to take a moment to say thanks so much to Straight
[07:46:15] Arrow News for...
[07:46:16] They probably did it because they...
[07:46:18] They allowed people...
[07:46:20] From Trump.
[07:46:21] From the debate.
[07:46:22] They allowed criminals, many, many millions of criminals.
[07:46:26] They allowed terrorists.
[07:46:27] They allowed common street criminals.
[07:46:30] They allowed people to come in drug dealers, to come into our country, and then now in the
[07:46:34] United States.
[07:46:35] And I think they probably did it because they think they're going to get votes, but it's
[07:46:38] not worth it.
[07:46:39] If you agree.
[07:46:40] Someone is asking what the Cuban and Iranian thing is.
[07:46:42] Yes.
[07:46:43] Cubans in America, Cubans in diaspora are very reactionary, very right wing, okay?
[07:46:49] Especially older populations.
[07:46:51] So because of like the famous nature of not only amnesty, but also America's relationship
[07:46:56] with Cuba in general and the ways in which the Cuban diaspora
[07:47:03] has formed its political opinions in the United
[07:47:05] States of America, specifically Florida,
[07:47:07] has we just use it as a catch-all term for reactionary
[07:47:13] diaspora as opposed to the interests of the people
[07:47:16] back home in the host nation.
[07:47:37] This does not mean every single Cuban
[07:47:40] that is in the United States of America is like that,
[07:47:42] But most people understand like the broad majority of the Cuban diaspora living in Florida,
[07:47:47] especially older Cubans are very right-wing.
[07:47:58] With that quote, step forward.
[07:48:00] Oh, it's just us.
[07:48:04] Okay.
[07:48:05] From that quote, at least from what I got personally, was he was talking about the illegal immigrants that aren't being background checked, that are being let in.
[07:48:12] personally to me my grandparents and my mother are immigrants they're not from
[07:48:17] here and they came here and they worked very hard to get their residency in their
[07:48:21] citizenship and they went through all the bells and whistles to get through here.
[07:48:25] Which is why I think everyone else should also suffer a similar fate.
[07:48:29] And so they're letting people in I mean it's affected so many of my friends
[07:48:34] that live towards the border of San Diego, places like that.
[07:48:37] So many Republicans attitudes are basically like, I had to go through so much chemotherapy to get rid of cancer in my body. Okay.
[07:48:49] And that's why I am against cancer vaccines.
[07:48:53] Like it's just that it's the and she didn't even have to go through any of that.
[07:48:58] I'm just saying like she's carrying the resentment of the older generation with her.
[07:49:02] And it's very weird.
[07:49:05] Like, if you have overcome great odds, not her, because she's a fetus, but her parents,
[07:49:15] it makes no sense that you would want others to be subjected to the same thing.
[07:49:20] I just don't understand it.
[07:49:21] It literally does not make sense to me at all.
[07:49:24] This is one of the core principles of, like, reactionary conservatives that I just cannot
[07:49:30] even understand a little bit.
[07:49:32] I just don't get it.
[07:49:34] And it's the same principle across the board. Like it literally is, it's just such a boomer
[07:49:38] mindset where it's like, nah, I had to pick myself up on my bootstraps. So you have to
[07:49:44] too. It's like, no man, shut the fuck up. The whole port, the whole point is supposed
[07:49:48] to be, the whole point is supposed to be, we ease it for everybody else. Like, you
[07:49:54] know, what the fuck's wrong with you? It's so, it's so annoying when I hear this
[07:49:59] about fucking student loan debt. Like I not only paid my own student loans, I
[07:50:02] I paid my mother's student loans,
[07:50:03] I paid my brother's student loans,
[07:50:05] and I don't think anyone should have to pay student loans.
[07:50:08] They should get student loan debt relief, okay?
[07:50:11] I will never understand people that are like,
[07:50:13] well, I paid it, so you have to as well.
[07:50:15] It's like, fuck you, man.
[07:50:16] You're just a selfish piece of shit.
[07:50:19] It is purely a policy surrounding resentment,
[07:50:22] jealousy, entitlement, nothing else.
[07:50:27] They are letting people in that are criminals
[07:50:29] that are not being checked well,
[07:50:32] or at least not being checked at all.
[07:50:34] And I think that's what he meant.
[07:50:35] He kind of has a really sassy way of saying things
[07:50:39] or kind of just, sometimes I feel like
[07:50:41] he doesn't use, he's not very eloquent at times.
[07:50:44] And so he says things and people are like,
[07:50:46] well, what does that mean?
[07:50:47] That doesn't make any sense.
[07:50:48] That's at least the context that I'm getting it from.
[07:50:50] That's at least what I can see
[07:50:51] and that's at least what's been prevented, so.
[07:50:53] I also feel that way.
[07:50:55] I feel like a lot of the people
[07:50:57] that are just being willingly led in here
[07:51:00] They're passing multiple other countries just to get to America to claim asylum in America
[07:51:05] I don't blame anybody for coming here at all like if I was born outside of this country
[07:51:10] I would want to do the exact same thing we but that's why we have to kill the people that are coming here now I
[07:51:18] Understand why they want to get here
[07:51:20] But walk them us as Americans all of us
[07:51:26] hit the lottery when we got born here and if you've come here legally through
[07:51:31] the process. My issue is like his position is more understandable than hers
[07:51:38] because at least like she somehow understands how long and arduous and
[07:51:42] complex the process of like getting citizenship is. He does it so that's
[07:51:48] why he can so callously be like yeah come through the Lego mains bitch it's
[07:51:53] like, bro, what are you talking about? You have no idea how fucking hard this process
[07:51:58] is. Okay, shut up. It is deliberately difficult. Also, many of the people that you're talking
[07:52:03] shit about are legal asylum seekers, which means they are actually following the process.
[07:52:09] They are following the protocol. You have to step foot inside of the United States,
[07:52:13] speak asylum, shut the fuck up. But for a lot of these people, the distinction
[07:52:18] between a legal Haitian migrant and an illegal migrant is nothing. It's just, they realize
[07:52:24] that it's paperwork and they just don't want them to have the paperwork. That's it.
[07:52:30] People that are just being let in, oh they claim to sign them, here's a, you know, a
[07:52:35] bank card, here's a cell phone, and by the way show up to this court date and three
[07:52:39] years promise, right? Like pinky promise, and then they just let them go. They send
[07:52:43] them to whatever city Chicago, New York. The people that actually live there are the ones
[07:52:49] in Colorado where I'm from. We are the ones that are actually seeing this stuff and being
[07:52:55] affected by it, whether it's people driving on the road without license plates, insurance,
[07:53:01] don't know how to drive because they're coming from whatever country they're coming
[07:53:04] from. But every single person that comes in here illegally is being counted in
[07:53:10] the census when you all of the things that he brought forward was about like
[07:53:14] Haitian migrants and every single one of those Haitian migrants are like
[07:53:17] legally here they are TPS recipients some of which got the TPS from Donald
[07:53:24] Trump mind you count these people in the census that's gonna give people more
[07:53:29] house seats I'm pretty sure and I don't want to misspeak hopefully a
[07:53:33] little truth bubble pop up at the bottom but you're getting house seats
[07:53:37] they're getting electoral votes these things matter when it comes to the
[07:53:41] election that's the only thing I care about I don't care wait when the Census
[07:53:45] Bureau describes unauthorized immigrants to the residents are included with the
[07:53:47] resident population the resident population is used for wait is he mad
[07:53:51] that like people that are currently on US soil are counted in the census as
[07:53:57] people that are currently living on US soil like they can't vote dog I mean we
[07:54:03] do the same for fucking criminals too that are in prison. They can't vote. They don't
[07:54:08] have the same fucking level of, uh, they don't have the same, they don't have the same rights
[07:54:13] as you do. But of course they have to be fucking counted because obviously they're
[07:54:18] still people. And that means they're going to be driving on the roads. They're going
[07:54:23] to be taking, uh, you know, they're going to be using the public transit. You need
[07:54:29] to make budget decisions. Okay. And they're still human beings that are living on US also,
[07:54:36] of course, they're going to be counted. What the fuck? Not only that, but they also pay
[07:54:43] taxes. But that's besides the point. Like, what do you mean? You don't want them, you
[07:54:49] don't want them to be counted? Like, okay, so what the fuck then? What happens when
[07:54:53] there is need for more allocation of resources, because there's more people living there?
[07:54:59] Sorry, we don't want to do that. We can't do that. We just decided you're not a human being
[07:55:05] If people are coming here
[07:55:07] Legally and want to live a better life want to have that American dream that being said like you're taking away things
[07:55:15] Taxpayer money that all of us as taxpayers are paying that should be going to Americans should be going to veterans
[07:55:21] veterans are you know it make up I want to say less than eight percent of the
[07:55:25] American population and less than 2% of Americans join the military and volunteer to join our
[07:55:34] military forces and the fact that we have homeless vets, good, it should be even lower
[07:55:38] than that. Okay, it should be 0%. And it will if by the time I'm done with it, it
[07:55:44] will be should not be a thing. And we're just giving this money to these people that
[07:55:50] Yeah, dude. I can't believe there's homeless veterans, dude. Yeah, I know that should give you I don't know an
[07:55:58] understanding that
[07:56:02] That should that should cause you to understand that America doesn't give a fuck about veterans dog
[07:56:07] But no these guys only use veterans as a counterpoint when talking about immigrants is so fucking tired and old and shitty
[07:56:16] Come here illegally don't play by the same rules
[07:56:18] I see a lot of nods. Do you believe that this is an intentional strategy? You talked about like the sense how it affects the sense
[07:56:25] Oh, yeah, like absolutely. I mean over 60 million people have come into this country illegally during this administration and immigration
[07:56:32] Actually is the thing that catapulted me from Democrat to Republican. I'm from Chicago
[07:56:36] And as you know, we have the migrant crisis thousands upon thousands. We're talking
[07:56:42] 50,000 illegal immigrants that just hit our city and I actually did vote for Biden
[07:56:46] now whisper and say that, you know, I'm not that proud to admit it now, but I remember
[07:56:50] when they first turned a school in my area into a migrant shelter and it was the Wexner
[07:56:55] Worth Elementary School and they also turned South Shore High School into a migrant shelter
[07:56:58] as well. When they did that, I remember the protest, I remember going to these community
[07:57:02] meetings that they have about how they're going to explain to you how immigrants
[07:57:06] need help. And I remember sitting there as a person who voted for Biden. And I'm
[07:57:10] just listening to these people. They're all German, you know, city council members,
[07:57:13] immigrant groups. They come to lecture us black folk on the south side of Chicago and they talk to
[07:57:19] us like we're stupid. You know these people are from Venezuela. They speak Spanish. They live in
[07:57:25] poverty. They need help and that's why this facility in your neighborhood is being turned
[07:57:30] into a migrant shelter. So it's very frustrating that the Democrats is sort of lecturing this
[07:57:35] condescending tone that they use against you. I don't need to be lectured to about what people
[07:57:40] need black bro you need to be lectured about a lot of shit okay like i'm gonna be real you need to be
[07:57:49] you need to go back to school okay everyone does god damn people in chicago need help
[07:57:54] veterans as you were saying earlier they need help poor people need help there is no clear
[07:58:00] indication that these people don't give up talk about veterans then the fact that they only bring
[07:58:05] up veterans when talking about like immigrants dude. It's just so obvious like if you gave
[07:58:14] a fuck about veterans you'd be talking about it in other circumstances but you don't because
[07:58:19] you don't care. We have a lot of problems in our own community and I respect people
[07:58:24] and I understand the passion and ambition of behind people who come to this country
[07:58:28] but to explain and lecture to me why I have to be quiet and accept it that's
[07:58:32] never gonna happen. I know that we have more to say but I'm gonna bring in
[07:58:35] that disagree us for time.
[07:58:39] So I might let some of the people on my side
[07:58:41] even talk about buying shift to the right
[07:58:43] when it comes to immigration, more deportations
[07:58:45] in the Trump administration.
[07:58:46] That's not something that I'm particularly passionate about.
[07:58:49] I don't really believe in removing people
[07:58:51] who are fleeing political persecution
[07:58:53] or looking for a better life for their families.
[07:58:55] What I would say to the people that are worried
[07:58:56] about vetting or worried about who necessarily
[07:58:59] is in this country is increase the pathway to citizenship.
[07:59:01] Not only should we be able to vet who these people are,
[07:59:04] will be able to add them and actually fully understand what they're here for, what their
[07:59:08] motivations are, and if you want to garner those voters, you've got to capitulate to those
[07:59:12] voters.
[07:59:13] And I think Republicans can do that.
[07:59:14] A lot of Hispanics that come from there have conservative values.
[07:59:17] You shouldn't just write them off as people that can't drive or people that are not
[07:59:21] talented.
[07:59:22] No, I'm not saying they're not talented.
[07:59:23] I'm just saying.
[07:59:24] Joe, I just want to ask you a real quick, I want to ask you a real quick question.
[07:59:31] Can you please define what immigrants who are seeking asylum means?
[07:59:38] So I'm political persecution, like you were saying, or somebody's going to murder them
[07:59:42] or whatever it is.
[07:59:43] Okay.
[07:59:44] I get, like, it could be 100% true.
[07:59:46] I'm not, like, these things.
[07:59:47] So are these things, I'm just asking others.
[07:59:49] But you're assuming everyone who's coming here is, like, literally being shot at like
[07:59:54] my family was, or actually, like, we say video.
[07:59:57] Okay.
[07:59:58] Yeah.
[07:59:59] I was fleeing political persecution. No one else. Okay? Only me.
[08:00:17] Well, what about your family? Let's talk about your family.
[08:00:20] We're actually talking about the bipartisan bill that the Republicans had a chance to do.
[08:00:25] So Joe, try to answer your question. Why are you asking?
[08:00:28] I'm asking it because I have a lot of people in the Filipino-American Kingdom who seek asylum during the Marcos regime.
[08:00:35] I have a lot of different immigrant families, probably like yours in Iran, who's looked
[08:00:39] for asylum during the controversies and the tumult in Iran.
[08:00:45] And Trump, in his initial presidential election, wanted to ban Muslims from coming to America.
[08:00:51] It was not a Muslim ban.
[08:00:53] It was not a Muslim ban.
[08:00:54] It was a travel ban.
[08:00:55] It was a travel ban.
[08:00:56] You're right.
[08:00:57] It was Muslim-shithole countries, which is what he said.
[08:00:59] Just going off the point, he said, are they shithole countries?
[08:01:02] Is Haiti or Somalia?
[08:01:03] Are you really going to classify them?
[08:01:05] I'm just asking the term third world is offensive to me, bro, because you're talking up. Yes. Yes,
[08:01:11] you're talking you're talking about a subhuman who are as developed as okay. I'm gonna be honest with
[08:01:18] you. I don't think the Trump guys I'm gonna go out on a limb here and I'm gonna assume
[08:01:24] that the Trump guys don't know the origination of the term third world in terms of like its
[08:01:29] alignment or lack of alignment during the cold war. I'm going to go out on a limb and
[08:01:35] assume that they use it as a catchall term for a shithole country. Okay. Like, so he's
[08:01:43] not wrong. I mean, third world, third world or developing nations is more politically
[08:01:48] appropriate terminology for a catchall term is used by Trump supporters in a very condescending
[08:01:55] way. Um, and yeah, third world, how about you care more about the top of the hour? Okay,
[08:02:02] third world. I said third world. Well, there's a three minute outbreak coming for you right
[08:02:06] now. All right. A three minute one. Fuck you. Yeah, the third world at the top of the
[08:02:14] hour. Oh, Jesus Christ. Here's the three minute outbreak. Now, if you no longer
[08:02:26] want to see those ads, I need you to subscribe for $5. Well, $4 and 20 cents are for
[08:02:32] free with a rich bribe is a treatment abrac now
[08:02:37] as we are so they're the third country
[08:02:39] in the right some of these people have given you some of the biggest scientific
[08:02:42] innovation in the world so if you're stoning women after they've been
[08:02:47] raped in the bribe let me know
[08:02:50] what the fuck why do you go to stoning women what's going on and it
[08:02:54] happens now i want to close the loop on
[08:02:57] eric's point eric what are you saying that
[08:03:01] It's U.S.'s responsibility to take people in who are seeking asylum.
[08:03:05] I'm saying that Ronald Reagan said that the United States was a shining city on a hill,
[08:03:12] right?
[08:03:13] That's the basis of your guys' philosophy.
[08:03:15] I'm saying that this has been and has been forever a country of immigrants.
[08:03:22] Why can't they stop at the other countries they stopped at to get here?
[08:03:26] That is my only point.
[08:03:27] Why can't they just go back to where they came from?
[08:03:30] It's so funny to be like, to tell a Guatemalan, why don't you stop in Mexico?
[08:03:35] It's like, dog, there's motherfuckers in Mexico coming into America.
[08:03:40] That's why the Guatemalan is not stopping in Mexico.
[08:03:44] What the fuck do you mean?
[08:03:46] I'm like, always find it very funny when people are just like, I don't get it.
[08:03:58] The Guatemalans should just stop at Honduras and move not even an inch further, okay?
[08:04:04] What the fuck?
[08:04:05] What a stupid argument. When Trump was advancing this argument, wait, Moldova-Maliga is chirping
[08:04:22] at me, hold on, where is it? Fuck, I missed it. Where is it? Why is it not showing up?
[08:04:33] Okay, Moldova-Maliga said, so more immigrants want to come to the United States, but it's
[08:04:42] also a shithole country by your estimation at the same time. And the answer is yes.
[08:04:47] The more immigrants want to come here, but the U.S. is a failing nation at the same time.
[08:04:53] That's what Trump is saying. It's true though. The problem is Trump is the reason, or at least
[08:04:59] one of the many reasons as to why the United States is a failing nation, okay? He's an
[08:05:04] accelerant on that correct argument that he's making.
[08:05:08] Meanwhile, March is here, so that three minute outbreak that I just served you is
[08:05:13] the last one I'm going to be doing today because I have to do the podcast. We're
[08:05:17] filming the fear and podcast folks so I have to go and do that right now I
[08:05:21] apologize for everybody but I'll be back tomorrow no Nick is gonna be
[08:05:25] unfortunately too late he's late he's late and it's his fault but I will be
[08:05:31] doing Nick stream tomorrow and then I'll be doing my stream with Nick
[08:05:34] afterwards and we'll figure out some stuff it'll be fun and that's all I
[08:05:40] got for now I love you all and I'll see you tomorrow okay bye bye
