What's going on everybody? I hope it was having a fantastic evening fantastic afternoon fantastic pre-noon
No matter where you are in the world of a Sompiker in this awesome broadcast
Coming to you live
from
Sunny California Los Angeles closer live and alive and I hope all the boys girls and Emmys are having a fantastic one
Because today's a beautiful day today's one of a day today is
That's right
It's news day Tuesday ladies and gentlemen
that was NECAP, H-W-O-D, we're live, we're live, and I am on band. That's right, a
cause for celebration. Folks, ladies and gentlemen, I'm on band. That's right, I'm
back. I'm back and less radical than ever before, of course. I'm certainly going
to be incredibly apolitical. Hold on, let me be apolitical real quick, because
I'm very political right now. Hold on. There it is. That's right. Folks, don't worry. Okay.
This is a new dawn, a new day. Okay. This is a new dawn, a new day, an apolitical day.
Ladies and gentlemen, you already know, you already know what it is. Let's go. Let's
go. Hell yeah, baby. Let me tell you, let me tell you folks.
I think the reason why the egg prices are so high is because transgenders, I don't think
it's your landlord that raised the price of rent, I think it's transgenders.
I don't think it's, I don't think the cost of living crisis had anything to do with
inflation born out of the greed of corporate consolidated autocrats that run the government.
I think it's transgenders.
I also think undocumented migrants.
That's right.
Sometimes it's undocumented migrants, other times it's transgenders.
Undocumented migrants also are responsible for the egg prices being so goddamn high though.
Let me tell you.
That's right.
All queer people, my burning hell.
Let me be a little bit more...
May or may not.
May or may not.
Okay?
Let me be as apolitical as possible.
Okay?
That's right.
me and a political baby. You already know it. And most importantly of all, let me tell
you, okay? Let me tell you, you know who's responsible for Medicare fraud, you know, people
stealing money from the federal government. That's right. Transgenders. Okay. It is
certainly not Rick Scott. Certainly certainly not people like Rick Scott who are responsible
for unimaginable amounts of fraud at the provider side of things.
It's actually, that's right, it's undocumented migrants.
They're the ones who are actually responsible for the Medicare fraud, despite the fact that
undocumented immigrants actually contribute more to the American coffers that they take
out and have no way of taking advantage of the limited amount of social safety
that we already have.
That is the reality.
course, I'm a political now, which means transgender time. Okay. That's right. It's the transgender
Guatemalans, baby. They're taking our Medicare. That's right. And we're going to stop it. We're
going to stop it. Has it stopped yet? No. Has it stopped yet? No. Have things gotten
better for you as a, as an average American? Fuck no. And, and that's only because we
just haven't been violent enough. Okay. We have not been violent enough. That's
That's the reason, as the Republican party, okay, we need to do more deportations, which
are inherently violent.
But of course, when you talk about it from the perspective of the state, it's not considered
violent.
All right.
So, ladies and gentlemen, 24 hours, 24 hours of not being on camera, 24 hours, well,
that's not even true.
I actually was on camera.
I did a YouTube video a sit down YouTube video like a standalone YouTube video and God damn you guys love that shit
Oh my god, is that like 800,000 views bro?
Is my highest it's about to be my highest performing YouTube video like why I got banned
Like I did the asment gold and said I got canceled I did the I got canceled meta
Okay, 13 hours 800,000 views
What the hell's going on? Y'all don't care about nothing. You just want drama. Y'all.
Yeah. I don't know if it's because this was like a, like a high profile case considering
that, uh, you know, I was banned and everyone was celebrating and stuff. Or if it's because
it was also partially click bait, is it because it's also a sit down video? And is
it because it came off the heels of me like playing basketball and not being live
on Sunday and then subsequently getting banned on Monday, I don't know, or maybe a combination
of all of this, but when it's not a rerun, turns out, turns out we got a lot of, we
got a lot of people invested in the no rerun videos, you know, to look to Franco talked
about it.
I didn't appreciate his coverage. Let me guess. Some were referred to the videos
an apology. She was weird. I mean, I, oh, oh, wait, hold on. Uh, let me also say this.
Let me also say this, ladies and gentlemen. Okay. Let me also say this. I didn't use the
best choice of words. I think fair is fair. I think eating that ban is valid. Would it
have happened under normal circumstances? Do people say a bunch of, uh, infinitely
more unhinged things on a regular basis in terms of like entire populations being
desecrated, destroyed, you know, neo-Nazi sentiment, things of that nature. Absolutely.
They do that all the time. Um, but come on, fair is fair. Like you can't, no, it's not
even a, I should have used the inner Minecraft defense. Like I didn't, it's very obvious.
It's very, very obvious. Uh, what I was saying, uh, which was not to do a call for
action to assassinate a sitting U.S. Senator, but instead to, you know, talk about the hypocrisy
of the matter. But using the embellished language that I use all the time, being hyperbolic,
and, you know, people, they got me. They got me. That is fair. It's fair. Game recognized game,
okay? Why is he wearing that hat? Chat, what? I mean, I've, I'm, because I'm apolitical.
Like, yeah, I'm a longtime punitive member. I didn't bat an eye when he said it because I knew it was a Hasanism typical hyperbole. You didn't mean literally killer just using as a place to look like nuke, for example. Yeah, I can see how it could be dangerous to say that. Yeah, like any any other word is that a kill in that moment as a as a substitute. And it's fine. No, no drama, nothing like that.
Like that's it everybody and virtually everyone that saw
Virtually everyone that saw the clip. I think that wasn't like instantly on the the focus on tip most likely was like
Yeah, I get what he was saying
You know
Got a dial it down. No. Yeah, but to be fair to be fair fair recognized fair game recognized game. I got got I
Got got
That's it. And if you are a, if you are a leftist content creator, especially one as prominent
as I am, especially one with a variety of different haters from all different backgrounds, all
different political ideologies, I have to be more careful. That's true. But, you know,
it is what it is. It happens. It is pretty funny. Everyone was like fantasizing about
how much, like how much I got owned or whatever. Like they were like, oh, he's so sad. I was
like, no, man, I just spent the whole day playing kingdom come. I mean, it was boring.
I shot this video. I shot the sit down video. I urge you guys to go watch it because I
once again used the drama opportunity when I was in the center of the drama this time
to make it as educational as possible. You will probably, you will probably quickly
recognize, if you watch my cancellation video, that it's not actually about my cancellation
at all.
It's actually about Rick Scott, who is, make no mistake, responsible for award winning
record breaking Medicare fraud.
This is a fact that people should not forget.
This is the major point of contention.
This was my point.
Initially, this was what I was talking about.
Hey, ultimately, Asmongold, you got me on your side, big dog. There's never really been a
moment like where I have actively advocated for Asmongold to be banned or de-platformed.
And to be fair, Asmongold didn't do that for me either, but he certainly leaned into it pretty
hard, huh? And Libs of Tiktok, Asmongold, Ethan Klein, well, Ethan Klein didn't really
play a role in this, let's be real. But all of the communities that are, that have united on,
perhaps the most significant issue of all, the most significant political issue of all,
getting this fucking piece of shit out of here, okay? You did it, you got me. But I think
I think all my losses are lessons, I've learned a very important, very, very important lesson
from all of this, which is that I will be apolitical going forward.
That's right.
Donald Trump is fixing America.
Your enemies are saying that the fraud was a long time ago, so it doesn't matter, Lamau.
That's crazy.
Speaking of award winning, more future Oscar contenders should come on the stream before
the award.
Seems like a good luck charm.
Yeah.
I'm not going to take credit for that, but the boys, they did it.
I'm so proud of them.
I'm so excited. That's, that's what I've been doing. By the way,
Sunday was supposed to be kind of my day off. Uh,
I was supposed to hoop. I got absolutely destroyed by the way.
I got absolutely destroyed while I was hooping. I was,
I was terrible. Um, bad performance. Uh,
the zoomers no longer think I'm W onk, which is sad. Um,
God damn what's happening with the freaking, I go,
I take one God dang day off. Okay.
I take one God dang day off and my cameras auto focus is busted. What is this? What happened?
Interest for Rick Scott has skyrocketed in the past seven days seemingly, but I'm sure,
I'm sure it's not that significant. Let's look at the past 12 months. Yeah. See, there's a
a 20, 24 November 10th, like it was significantly higher.
But if we look at like, uh, let's see past 90 days, let's look at the past 90 days.
Okay. Well, yeah. Okay. Oh, you guys can't see it. Sorry. I'm hiding it. Um,
here it is. Oops.
When Elon tweeted his support got the game ball from Sunday for your commentary.
else this was time stamp when you get dunked on. Yeah, I mean that that dunk doesn't count.
Um, but yeah, I got cooked. I got cooked. I got absolutely cooked on Sunday. I got absolutely
cooked. I mean, I had six points in the first game and I think like two points or zero points
in this. I mean, I got zero points in the second we got skunked. Uh, they really abused
our, they really abused our one weakness there, which was Jason who was not weakness at all,
But simply he was just simply injured, you know, it is what it is. Emma, thank you for the right.
Hope you had a good stream, brother. Um, but yeah, let's blast off. Let's get started. I mean, look,
you already know all the VODs are gone. Any idea if they'll be back? Uh, probably. I don't know.
It probably takes a while for things to like work again, you know what I mean? When you get banned.
Um, did you enjoy making edited YouTube content in this instance? No, I did not. I, I just kind
ripped it. I'll be 100% real with you guys. That was not a breakdown style video. Like that was
not scripted at all. I basically one take jaked it, uh, load week style where I just kind of talked
straight to the camera, sent a bunch of links that, uh, sent a bunch of links to Austin ox
about like different aspects that I wanted to cover. And he's just like spliced it in.
And that's it. Like it wasn't, it wasn't anything else. It wasn't anything serious. You know, but
Austin ox, yeah, made a return. Yeah, but one take jaked it. It was like a 30 minutes. It took
like 30 minutes mostly. And then, you know, the results are pretty spectacular. So I think
I'll, I think I'll try to do more of this. And by that, I mean not get banned, but instead, uh, mean
you know, uh, more straight to YouTube videos in general.
As a follower, my take is that you can't talk like a right-wing while being leftist. The
pussy-left will act as if you're too hostile. No, it's not even the left that says that. It's
that right-wingers love crying. They love crying. They love crying all the time. It's their
favorite thing to do. And they do the same exact, they do the same exact neurodivergent
ass like SJW thing that rad lives do all the time, which was like, Oh, were you saying
something that was hyperballing? I'm going to take it seriously. They hate that when the
left does it to them, but then they love using it. And it's fine. Hey, look, I'm not mad.
I understand. Like, you can't do that. You know, I can't do that. I can't, I
need to be more careful with the way I talk about this stuff. It is what it is. I have
a million haters chat. Are we being real right now? Are we being serious? I have a lot of
people who spend an insane amount of time and an insane amount of their everyday existence
basically dehumanizing themselves aggressively and actively in a way to try to explain
in a way, how devastating of a, how devastating of a person I am, how awful of a person I am.
And that's it. Was the you directed at Mike, the Republican guy, or are you the viewer?
No, of course it was directed at Mike Johnson. Why would I, it's very obvious.
Anyway, it's fine. There is no reason for the semantics. Like, there's no reason for
the back and forth. Everybody I think understands exactly what's going on. It is what it is.
I got owned. I got owned. And in the process though, I played a lot, a lot of Kingdom come
and God damn it. It's a beautiful game. Holy moly is a beautiful game. But it's also deeply
addicting, but it's also difficult. It's a difficult ass game, bro. It seriously is.
seriously is. Other than that, why'd you skip the first one? I just never played it. I never
played the first one. Tim Poole, link this skate video under retweet. These people have no shame.
Oh yeah. I mean, look, let these people have their fun. Okay. Let these people do their victory
laps. And then they're probably going to get mad again because they're going to be like,
he didn't get banned permanently. I hate it. Like, why didn't he get banned permanently?
But yeah, um, I'll say people like Tim pool, he you cry in law. Yeah, dude. I was, uh, I was
devastated. I was really sad. Tim pool. I said in the, in the, it's a suspension. They called it
ban because you'd be back out shortly. It'll be like, uh, it'll likely do it to his calling
on people to kill a us senator. He didn't even know rickshaw was the senator of the
fuck. I did. I don't know why they keep saying that. No, I didn't know what rick
Rick Scott's position was within the Republican Party, not as a senator, but as like his active
role in the Republican Party beyond being a senator.
But the, and also I didn't call on people to kill him, but it's fine.
I mean, if people think that, then they think that, that is what it is.
Did you see the searches for the Senator Skyrocket since you're banned?
I did.
Yeah, I've definitely talked about Rick Scott before. I've talked about Rick Scott quite a bit.
The entire point of this is not about Rick Scott anyway.
The point of this is more so that Republicans are hypocrites and they don't actually care about,
they don't actually care about like real Medicare fraud or anything like that.
They just simply want to melt the poor.
over. They want to actively undermine these social safety nets, which will end up harming
a lot of people when those social safety nets go away.
Well, you absolutely said someone needed to kill them. Okay. Well, if that's what you
think, then that's what you think. There's not really anything I can do about it. But
it is what it is.
Fox News wrote about you. Nice. Again. Yeah. If, if Mike Johnson listened to me, uh, make
this argument and went, wow, that's compelling. I'm going to now as the, I am now as the,
the house of, as the, uh, as the house of representatives, Speaker of the house, I am
I'm now going to Rick Scott. If he'd said that, yeah, I would, I would feel a little
weird about it. I'd be like, damn, see actual news outlets are covering it normally, which
is to a streamer, a Sampakar suspended after saying republics would kill Rick Scott if
they really cared about Medicare fraud. Rick Scott is a former governor of Florida and
current senator from the state. Like the, the people that are covering this, uh, with
with a little bit of seriousness are covering it with the full context, not that it matters
because the reality is, the reality is, I think the band was totally, totally appropriate.
Okay. I got, got baby. Left wing shimmer walks back comment about killing with Scott calling
three suspension walks back comment. Oh, this is amazing. Um, during the stream, Parker
insisted that fraud primarily comes from providers, not recipients of government programs. Well,
I like that they're putting this in the article. That's good. They're not tackling providers.
They're not actually going after false billing. They're trying to cut recipients. Fraud
is not happening at the point of the recipient. If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid
fraud. You, you would play Rick Scott. He said, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
Mr. Remember, noted that Columbia HCA was fine over $1.7 billion. When Scott was the CEO of
the healthcare company, following investigation into its Medicare billing, read the subheader
YouTube has YouTuber, son, Parker Prusa called Hamas a lesser evil than Israel and claimed
the US deserve 9 11. Okay. Why are they putting my heads back to back, dude? What
the hell is going on?
Oh, that's amazing. Anyway, anyway, anyway, we're back, baby. Let's go. Let's blast off.
Let's do it. Let's post and bring the people in and let's get it going. Let's get it twisted.
Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. But yeah, it was, it was a, it was a totally,
It was a totally reasonable suspension. Okay. I'm, I have no, like I'm not even gonna, I'm
not even going to act like it was not a totally reasonable suspension. Okay. It's just the truth.
Like my favorite part about Hassan being banned from Twitch, isn't that anyone reporting
on it has to admit that a sitting Republican Senator oversaw perhaps because Medicare fraud
in history, it's so beautiful. It's probably an inside job. Yeah. I mean, it is what
it is, you know? It's just like, it's a perfectly valid, it was a perfectly valid banning call
Lolo. He's crying. Yo, he sent me a voice note immediately and was like flexing on me,
saying, I can help you. I can help you prepare your unemployment documents. This man is my
my biggest hater. Okay. Alexander Loll overruled is my biggest hater. Do you understand? This
guy straight up straight up this dude, my insta hater. Also I'm joking. That's my friend
for those of you who don't know. But yeah, the band was also worthy because now a lot
more people know the frauds that bullfuck did. I mean, it's fine. It is what it is. All
right. It is what it is. We got a lot to talk about today, aside from my fake ban, phony
ban. I'm acquitted. We're back. Ladies and gentlemen, believe me, we're back. We are
so back. I'm apolitical now. I think Donald Trump is great. He's the best. We got
so much to talk about with respect to tariffs. We have, like, there's, there's so much that I was
going to talk about yesterday in terms of, in terms of what happened, like how excited I was about the,
how excited I was about the, the, uh, no other than winning, uh, the Oscars,
me and Noah were sitting around waiting for this, not even, even until the last moment,
I just did not think, I did not think that they would win. Like I just don't think that at all. I
just didn't have any hope that they would win. And I was so excited that they did. But yeah,
here, we'll look at this Fox news article because it's amazing. Lev Wingshtrimmer walks
back comment about killing Rick Scott following Twitch suspension. At least he's saying like
urging Republicans to kill Senator Rick Scott. Like even Fox news is like more honest than my
freaking dumbass haters on Reddit. Anyway, after getting suspended from Twitch, Bobby,
the video live from your service, Piker statement came during the stream,
which in which he reacted to the interview for House Speaker Mike Johnson, who discussed
measures to carve out ways for auto abuse within social security, Medicare and Medicaid.
I'm, I'm sorry. It was worth. It was worth. It's worth that right there. Getting Fox News
to write Piker statements came during a stream in which he reacted to an interview with
House Speaker Mike Johnson, who discussed measures to carve out waste fraud and abuse
within social security, Medicare and Medicaid. During the stream, Piker insists that fraud
primarily comes from providers, not recipients of government programs. They're not tackling
providers. They're not actually going after false billing. They are trying to cut recipients.
Fraud is not happening at the point of the recipient. If you cared about Medicare fraud
or Medicaid fraud, you would break Scott. He said that is cinema.
The streamer noted that Columbia HCA was fined over $1.7 billion when Scott was the
CEO of the healthcare company following an investigation into its Medicare billing.
This is Fox news. This is on Fox news. I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take the ban, baby. I'll eat
it on Fox news. Twitch did not provide a specific reason for the suspicion. Although the timing,
the violation and pikers ensuing expose suggests that the above comments pushed the platform to
act. This is pikers fifth twist suspension on Monday afternoon. Piker apologize for telling
you social media followers. I'm sorry. I'll choose my words carefully next time and say,
If Mike Johnson cares about Medicare fraud, since he was cut 800 million from Medicare
Medicaid, which was 800 billion by the way, he'd call for max punishment for current Florida
GOP Senator, former governor Rick Scott, who was done the most Medicare fraud in US history.
He continued five minutes later, Piker, just as critics, big shout out to the right wing
free speech lovers who took time out of their day to scream it about Dia, Dia, EI
and immigrants to cry about this. He wrote on X, a son of Twitch didn't immediately
respond to requests for comment. Senator Ed Markey, AOC and other Democrats have sat
down. Piper was praised in December by Kamala Harris, former deputy campaign manager, Rob
Flaherty. We need a whole thriving ecosystem. Flaherty told seven, four following Harris's
election loss is not just positive America. Although I think we should have more of
them. It's not just Sompiker. We should have more like, we should have more Hassan
Piker's social, the cultural creators, the folks who are one run out, who influence
non-partisan audience.
Piker was a following of Twitch over 2.8 million and previously raised more than 1 million for
balsam. And he has used platform millions of hours of downplaying justify terrorist attacks
such as October 7 and 9 11 as acts of resistance in recent years. I've never said 9 11 was an
active resistance. Okay. That inappropriate, but you know, I'll let it slide. It's Fox
News. Come on.
During a 2019 live stream, Piker praised the brave, I think soldier who won a conservative
representative, Dan Crenshaw. While he was deployed to Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL
asking, didn't he go to war and like literally loses some, I was bad for that. So we're going
to move on. He went on to say, America deserve 911. I'm saying before later, walking it back
and saying it was inappropriate.
Piker is a hundred K for charity on Saturday alongside the creators of no other land,
a film co-directed by Palosin. It is really filmmakers. The film won the Oscar for
the best documentary the following day. One note, we don't, we'd have almost
no violence if the lives would just leave.
By the way, liberals on their, I will point to this as well, liberals like Ethan Klein,
sex, Pestini and their fucking weirdo audiences and Asmongold's audience will regularly say
Rashid El Haddad is a Houthi, but even Fox news, because it's still a news outlet will
be like, it's just, they won't say he's a Houthi.
They'll say he's a Houthi sympathizer.
They won't say he's a Houthi.
I wonder why.
it's because, you know, there are still in the worst, in the absolute worst news outlet,
like Fox news, especially on their objective news reporting side, which can still be very
biased. There is still a quality assurance that they have to abide by. They still have
standards that they have to abide by versus a dumbass online content creator myself included
can say whatever the hell they want, and actively lie about things.
And then their idiotic fan base will also chirp about it over and over again.
But yeah, considering that Fox is constantly under tremendous scrutiny and targeted with
lawsuits, they obviously have to be a little bit more careful about the way that they
cover stuff. And also, they wanna maintain some kind of standards so they can look like
an objective news outlet.
There's a singular difference. Fox News wants to scandalize their audience by reminding them
of you interacting with liberals in Congress. These YouTubers wanna permanently get rid
of you and deplatform you. Yeah. Did Fox ask you for a response? No. But they might've
reached out to my management and I just didn't see it. But it's all good.
Can you make some predictions about Trump's incoming speech?
I mean, yeah, easy peasy.
I'm the greatest president of all time.
I saved America.
It's actually good that egg prices are so high because it's patriotic and measles outbreaks
seemingly just happen.
And the planes are actually falling because the planes are actually falling out of the
sky.
because the more planes fall, the less likelihood 9-11 can happen again. Think. Think. I'm making
the planes fall because if they don't fall, what if they do a 9-11? But this time they
do it on a different month. We don't want it. We don't want to do it, folks. Also, 9-11,
DEI 17 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi. None of them were white men. DEI is the reason why
9 11 happened. DEI equals die folks. Think, dude, I'm so good at being a political. It's crazy.
I'm so good at being a political is crazy. I love being a political dog. Yeah. Vaccines make you gay.
They make you gay and autistic. They make you the most autistic anyone's ever seen before
New York City so flat the only thing that can stop a plane is a tower
New York City so flat land flat land just like Ukraine only thing that can stop a bullet is a body
Is a human body new york so flat
Anyway, bro, you're trying to get banned again. I mean, I'm not, it's like very obviously
I'm joking. Okay. It's very clearly a joke. Okay. Stop. Stop worrying about me getting
banned. Okay. Please. Guys, guys, guys, guys, Elon Musk made comedy legal. Okay. Elon Musk
Make comedy legal, folks! You can say the R word again.
Oh, Dark Maga!
Dark Maga!
I gotta put the fucking Trump hat on.
Hold on, sorry.
I keep forgetting that I can't be saying these things without the MAGA hat on.
Oh, you all right!
You're feeling pretty goofy today?
I am.
Son biker banned from Twitch after threatening Rick Scott.
Come on, come on, Newsweek, that's crazy.
That's crazy.
That's crazy that Newsweek did me like this.
I thought we were cool Newsweek.
Can you wear it like Elon does?
No one can wear it like Elon does, okay?
The hat is a free pass for racism and misogyny.
No, if you put this hat on, you can literally be like, I think Russia is awesome.
You can say whatever you want, and people will be like, oh, that's a patriot.
You know how like, you know how like sometimes people will say stuff on Twitter that is like
very clearly reactionary, but they'll say it in like a woke way?
Like the, the, uh, wokely, wokely arguing against like miscegenation, for example.
You know what I mean?
I saw a tweet about this earlier actually I'm gonna point to this because it's relevant it's Oscars related. Hold on, I'll give it to you exactly what I mean here. Hold on one second, one second, one second. Yeah, this is like when people say stuff like poor things in a nor a winning or signs of conservatism and misogyny making a comeback by the way, okay?
Like, people saying like, Anora is a male gaze and misogynistic, actually.
It's like, what are you talking about?
What are you saying?
Please stop.
Okay.
This is like, vocally, vocally being like, you can't have any, you literally cannot
cover sex workers from the perspective of sex workers, right?
Like, so leftists do this as well. They do like unironically reactionary commentary, but
with like woke language. And right-wingers also do this in the opposite direction. All
the dang time. Okay. They get to say whatever they want. They can say like unironically
anti-imperialist speech and people will turn around biggest relevant dig under Inora
as the director's sub still lives at Tic-Tac. No, I don't think they sub the lives of
They follow the TikTok, but like Republicans will come out and be like, Republicans will
come out and unironically be like pro bricks and stuff. You know what I mean? Like some
of them will turn around and say stuff like they love bricks, but also simultaneously will
be like patriotic about it. And it's always so funny to me. Like, I don't understand
how they get to do that. Like, why is that allowed? Why can't I be like, hey, I think
that a ceasefire should happen in Ukraine. And people will be like, you're Adolf Putler.
I hate you. You should kill yourself. And then Tucker Carlson gets to literally be like
Stalin built incredible metro stations. And also Russia has never done anything wrong.
And then every Republican turns around and eats it up. And they're like, that's the
brave patriot right there. He's patriotically defending Russia.
pisses me off, man. I'm jealous. I'm actually jealous. Like, why can't I offer any bit of nuance
in terms of American foreign policy being, you know, kind of bad and kind of mean to people?
Okay. But they get to say whatever they want and they're still on board.
What is this? Finally changing your mind? I don't think you understand.
Anora being conservative is a golden reach. Yeah, no, I don't care that Sean Baker follows questionable Hawesbury accounts
Sean Baker also probably is like kind of into the Red Scare style dime square ship, but Anora was good
It banged. I liked it a lot. Also, Mikey Madison is
What a babe. Okay, I'm sorry
That was I mean it was good. It was some you've got to have a movie like that
You got to have some movies like that. It was a good movie. I felt like I I said this at the time when I watched it
was one of the few Oscars awards nominated movies that I actually watched, but it was
good. It was a good, I can't wear this fucking hat like Elon Musk did. It's just so embarrassing.
I don't know how he does that.
Asimov Moulding so hard right now because of your umband. Wait, I thought he was a
Mr. Pre-Speech. I don't understand. What? So, um, so banned because gay? Yeah. Yeah.
mean nothing chat. I follow a bunch of people as well. Okay. A German film critique said,
Anora is a movie. Marx would have liked a lot. Why? Cause he's, he's also a gooner. Is that
what it is? Um, okay. We're not going to talk about Sean Baker and the Anora controversy.
Okay. That's not, there's so much to cover chat. I'm sorry. There was a lot of funny
memes I saw as well. W homies from crash dummies pod. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Crash Domeys is, Crash Domeys podcast is, you know, I love them. It was amazing. I did an episode with them as well. That's supposed to come out. And the fear and episode came out with the Crash Domeys podcast. It was hilarious.
That's right, baby. Can you cover the bad empanada situation? I don't know what happened. Dune was robbed. I really liked Dune. But a lot of people whose opinion I respect, in terms of movies,
because I'm not like a big movie guy.
They didn't like doing as much.
But also simultaneously, Will and I watched it together
and we were nutting the entire time.
Like we literally, it was me, Nandre and Will
at the movie theater, just like just going crazy every time.
Every time it went, ha, we would also go,
we would be also losing our minds
and making those noises as well.
You can't know in the theater. That's what you think. Oh, also, no, Colvin and I sat together.
We sat our white asses down and we watched the order, which I thought was pretty good.
Um, I don't know who's up for any Oscars or anything like that, but, uh, I thought it
was pretty good. And also, holy moly, slime and be thank you for the one Hondo gifted.
Yeah. I lost a lot of subscribers. Holy moly. Jesus Christ. One day. I don't know
why I don't know why it works like that you just oh because it's back to back two days in a row where
I wasn't streaming when is Noah coming on the stream uh Noah is uh for the for yesterday and today
Noah's doing a um a guest lecture at UCLA and then after that he's going to be here so
he'll be here every single day after that and
And I'm very stoked
Resubs can't happen if the channel doesn't exist during a ban. Yeah, that's probably what it is, right?
I just got I got cleaned out dude
What's the story with the hat brother? Uh, it's because I'm apolitical
No, not Noah the weather agency
Have you seen this clip of the crash dummies pod? Yeah, I mean, this is an old clip from uh back when
I back when I first collabed with them and people were trying to brigade against them
But yeah, I think this is the coolest way to deal with
Losers who are like a son of a man person like fuck you. Yeah, I really did a podcast
I used to like y'all did a podcast with a sign. I was forget that he's really popless
He had a lot of like haters to whoever said that guy slow
You just a sign you diss me
Those are my goals, dude
Um, promote the fear and episode. Um, you and bad empanada duked it out on his community post a little before you went live. I don't think it was a duking it out. I think it's just a difference of agreement, uh, which is fine.
We can have a difference in opinion. Chatters. It's normal and healthy to have disagreements with people who you align with on, uh, on, on so many things.
I think it's, it's healthy. Where is it? Link me the, link me the, uh, link me the bad
empanada take. Uh, where was it? He, cause I saw it. His community post showed up. That
impanada's community post showed up on my, on my timeline and he's, he's so fucking
stupid. Look at this guy. Look, I really, I really, really respect the work he puts
in, in, uh, in for all of his videos. So I'm not going to, you know, I'm, I'm ribbing when I make fun
of them for saying stuff like this, but I will fucking puke if I see a samba. I just say, I invite
Israelis on my brackets all the time or tell us that we need to empathize with it with and humanize
Israelis who are victims of propaganda themselves again, Jewish exceptionalists and liberals,
Zionist drivel validating the idea that we need to prove from tokens among the enemy to
oppose them just because they're Jewish and paintings on as it being misled victims rather
than the reality when they're enthusiastically and willingly pursuing their own interests
for material gain at the cost of Palestinians sickening. PS, make excuses for this, permaband
onsite. To which I responded with, the struggle is multifaceted. Internal pressure plays a role.
I will not back away from contextualizing the role military resistance plays in emancipation,
but I also want to immediately discard those who have disagreements with me on that,
especially when I've relied on their investigative reporting. I've used Yvall's work
at plus 972 in the past. It's important not to take honest reporting in the bodies
that Israeli Jewish allies put forth to protect Palestinians for granted,
even if we have disagreements. He apparently replied to me. No, it's not important at all to even
mention or notice as long as he's really a Jewish in the context of Israel colonialism in the name
of Jewish ethnic supremacy. If you wouldn't do it for the Nazis, you shouldn't be doing it here.
If you're critique, no, I don't think he understands. I guess we're talking past one
another because that's not, you know, that's not the point I was making at all.
What the hell? The way I see it is like this, okay? I live in a settler colonial enterprise
that is also known as the United States of America. I'm an American citizen. I take advantage of the
bounty of this settler colonial enterprise and the untold amount of pain that it cost,
the untold amount of pain that it that it dished out upon the indigenous population here and
and even chattel slavery.
I also understand that this settler colonial enterprise,
the United States of America,
turns out a metric ton of propaganda
to make people understand,
or make people feel like that is normal,
that kind of violence is necessary, okay?
So, if I am trying to actively talk to people
in the United States of America,
then I'm obviously going to explain to them
that this is just programming, so I can engage in D programming, right? And that is the exact
same way, that is the exact same way that I approach Israel in every other country.
If you critiqued on the basis of not considering the perspective of Israelis and your responses,
but I've literally talked to Israelis on my stream and not the perspective of Israelis on an
ethno-state run, ethno-state run by and for them means nothing, then you're pleading
people to liberal Zionism. It's nauseating and brainless that Yuval is even given a
platform to spout free-to-hostage, to the travesty. He's only there because of an accident
of birth because of the token. His really stamp of approval is required on anything that Palestinians
do. If not for that, he would have never been included. Instead of challenging this by questioning
it, you reinforce his continuation by pointing to it as a, it is, uh, pointing to it as
legitimizing and special. I think that interestingly enough, we both recognize that Israel is a
supremacist state, okay? Israel is an ethno-religious supremacist state, and therefore, Israelis,
in the eyes of that ethno-supremacist Israeli state, specifically Israeli Jews, are definitely
treated by this state as a higher priority. We both recognize that, and I say it's
important that the emancipatory struggle is multi-faceted, multi-pronged, and that it's
important when Israelis put their bodies on the line as well, okay? Because ultimately,
even if someone is, look, the way I see it is this, okay? I can disagree with someone
who is constantly talking about, constantly talking about how devastating October 7 was.
Like Bernie Sanders is a great example of this. I disagree with Bernie Sanders in the way that he
is approached the issue of Israel. But he has so much more work that he has done that I think
was incredibly important, and I will always give him props for that. This argument is so silly.
Yes, if there were German civilian resistors during World War II, that would be a good thing. In Israel,
we also have a few people like Al-Farqasif, Yvill Al-Braham, Gideon Levy, who are the
resistance and is good. Exactly. Yeah. I don't think, I don't think it's appropriate.
I don't think it's appropriate to paint every Israeli with the same brush.
But also, I take it one step further. Like I've said, there are 100% plenty of Israelis
who think what's going on in the West Bank is unconscionable to a degree where they
they will literally go out to a degree where they will literally go out and stand in front
of the settlers. Okay? If you're doing that, I'm never going to shit on you. If you're
doing that, then that's good. Okay? That's a good thing. I also, I think given my Turkish
background have, and also my American background as well, have an understanding of what it's
like to, to constantly be cast aside by your own peers.
Having said that, that is nothing in terms of the violence and ritualistic humiliation
that Palestinians are subjected to by a rabid settler-colonial, genocidal, apartheid state
that is doing terror on a daily basis.
You do not need to seed ground to bad faith actors, but you can understand that there
are so many different approaches that people engage with.
And in terms of the no other land, this is actually something I was going to talk
about right now because it dovetails perfectly into the Israeli Palestinian
documentary No Other Land Wins the Oscar. So let's start there and then we'll get
to Trump's tariffs, we'll get to the American economy and we'll get to what
Donald Trump is going to be saying later. There's a lot going on in the world
and we must cover it all of course. You are covering the news from an American
progressive perspective. He's more extreme in his views because he's
covering the news from the perspective of a dude who's living in a third
country is in a transigent. Having said that, you know, it ultimately ultimately it is at the end
of the day there are multiple, multiple perspectives in any conflict in any involvement for for the MLKs
of the world. There was always the Malcolm X's of the world and the civil rights struggle would
not have been successful without both of these parties. Nonviolent political resistance is
incredibly important. When it comes to the apartheid state, it's the exact same thing.
Whether it be South Africa or whether it be Israel, you are going to have internal pressure
that plays a very significant role, okay? And those guys are not going to be like-minded,
okay? They're not going to agree on everything because there's a metric ton of social conditioning
that plays a role here
and i will continue advocating for the things that i believe in
even if
those people consider me to be a terrorist
even if those consider uh... even if those people
consider me to be lesser than them because of my background
and plenty of them do
a lot of people shut me out of this conversation so brave of you to pay
yourself as i'm okay in this comparison
what led you to believe that i was doing that
i'm not putting myself in this equation at all
I'm simply saying that as someone who is an onlooker, okay, as someone who is looking
from the outside, who is trying to actively educate people on these matters, I'm saying
that I would be someone who says, look, the Black Panther militancy is valid and plays
a formative role in the civil rights struggle, just like MLK's peaceful civil disobedience
played a very formative role in the civil rights struggle. It's not one or the other,
it's both, okay? That's how this works, at least throughout history, that is how it has always
worked. Especially when like, militancy is virtually, militancy and wars of attrition
are unimaginably taxing on the civilian population, right?
And when you don't when you are going up against an opponent
Okay
When you're going up against an opponent that is backed by the largest state on the planet the largest military on the planet
It's it it's going to take a lot more than simply
Uh, you know militant struggle militant, uh emancipatory movements. It's just not going to work that way
This is not how it goes
Sorry for spam, would you be able to log into Fossa quickly so we can get all the functionality back?
Yeah, I'll do that right now. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. All right, let me log in. Okay, we're good.
All right, there's a bunch of stuff that I get locked out of automatically.
Has there always been a clip button on Twitch's user interface? I swear I haven't
seen it before. I don't know. Please watch Shredo's response to the tariffs. Yeah, we'll get there.
All right. Your subs might have been canceled, by the way. So, resubscribe, because I was banned.
When that happens, if your resub button was supposed to come out yesterday, then you weren't able to
and it's just like auto-cancels, I think. That's how it works. We can't clip at the moment,
presumably because of the ban. No, you can't clip if you're not subscribed. Subscribers obviously
get a bunch of different things. You can clip stuff if you're a subscriber. You can send me
links if you're a subscriber, things of that nature. But let's get to, let's get to no other land,
the, the boys, okay? The boys that won an Oscar. Oscar goes to no other land. This is the first
Oscar. Okay. But people say, where's the Nelson Mandela or the peace guy for Gaza? The answer
is that he's dead or shot by Israeli missile. What to do? No, there is a, first of all, Nelson
Mandela is not the peace guy for South Africa. He was literally in jail and refused to denounce
violence as a formative part of his emancipatory struggle. And his jail sentence was extended
time and time again for that. So Nelson Mandela was on the terrorist watch list,
the American terrorist watches until 2008, okay, far after he had actually been released
from prison and became the leader of South Africa. So that's number one. And he has always stood up
and actively talked about the role, the formative role that militancy plays in resistance and defended
it and literally has stayed in prison, extended his prison stay for that reason, for his defense
of that. And the other argument is that it's Marwan Bargoudi, which Hamas, even though they
they are supposed to be at odds with Marwan Bargoudi, want Marwan Bargoudi to be released
from Israeli prison. So they're, the Palestinian emancipatory movement, the Palestinian resistance
is united on bringing about an end to this occupation for understandable reasons. That
is what their goal is. Okay?
Thank you to the Academy for the award.
Also I'm very stoked and I'm very proud of you guys.
This community raised $130,000.
This community raised $131,000 for no other land rebuilding alliance fundraiser.
We raised 100K when we had, we raised $100,000 just while these guys were on the stream,
you know?
Amazing.
Fantastic.
I love this community.
That is why at the end of the day, no matter what people say, no matter what, like, oh,
you're a terrorist, this or that, you're a bad person, this or that, none of that
matters, okay?
None of that matters.
We go band for band, all of these vice signallers out there who try to fucking smear me and smear
you as well, they got nothing, they got no motion, they have horrible, sad, pathetic lives
and all they do is try to actively take down a community that is doing good.
They hate that we do good here and that's why they just try to smear as best to the
best of their ability, okay?
Did you hear that they found this white supremacist dude?
Oh, they, they unmasked this guy. Nice.
Captive dreamer. Yeah, he used to be my biggest reply guy by my biggest Nazi reply guy.
All right. I saw some palsy on TikTok saying this speech was really bad and kind of aligning with Israel, especially the October 7th comments.
Yes, I know I'm going to get to it. Hold on. I have some controversial takes that is going to make nobody happy.
It's such a big honor for the four of us and everybody supported us for this documentary.
About two months ago I became a father and my hope to my daughter that she will not have
to live the same life I'm living now, always feeling, always feeling Sattler's violence,
home demolitions and forest build displacements that my community, Masafriata, is living and
facing every day under the Israeli occupation.
other land, reflect the harsh reality that we have been enduring for decades and still
resist as we call on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice and to stop
the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people.
So make no mistake, so this is U.L. Abraham, okay?
He was supposed to come on the broadcast as well, but he was traveling on the day
that I had at Basel and Hamdan on. So unfortunately it couldn't make it. I've asked
Noah to hit up the 972 people to get Yuval on as well. I'm working on if he's still in Los Angeles
because he's probably very busy considering he just want to fucking ask her. But I'm going to try
to see if I can get him on as well. I've relied on his work in the past. I think he's a great
investigative reporter. I don't fully agree with everything, and I don't agree with the framing
that he engages with here, but it doesn't matter, okay? Because ultimately,
ultimately, he plays a very important role in this. Now, the reason why I think he plays a very
important role in this is because I'm not so silly to think that this documentary would
would have ever been produced or ever even gotten out
and gotten this much public appraisal
or even though there are still obviously
very serious setbacks, it was the highest grossing
documentary in 2024 and yet it still has not gotten
a US distributor, which is crazy, right?
Unprecedented.
And that shows you that there are still
so many hurdles to overcome
in terms of getting the word out, right?
But this documentary in and of itself would not get to this,
would never get this level of attention
if it was not attached to an Israeli, okay?
That is the reality.
That is the sad reality, okay?
If you don't recognize that, I don't know what to tell you.
There is no way.
It's just, it just would not happen.
Because, unfortunately, the way that Palestinians are treated by the Western world is like they
are not real human beings, okay?
They are actively dehumanized by those in positions of power, okay?
But because of that reason, I think it's important that there are people within Israel
within the ethno supremacist state that do put their names out there and their bodies
out there alongside Palestinians to give to help give a voice to this struggle, okay?
I think this is ultimately a good thing.
I hate this framing that Israelis are intertwined with Palestinians.
They're settlers and they need to face this reality instead of whitewashing a position
a privilege he holds. Very narcissistic stuff. What is this? Our Twitter
council, pass my flag and I'm calling for this.
Hossbra about your cancellation. Okay. Stop chatter. Come on. We're being serious
right now. Yeah. The whole Berlin, Berlin, Al Fiasco too, but Germany is obviously
on another level. Exactly.
We made this, we made this film, Palestinians and Israelis, because together
our voices are stronger. We see each other, the atrocious destruction of Gaza and its people
which must end, the Israeli hostages brutally taken in the crime of October 7th, which must be freed.
When I look at Basel, I see my brother, but we are unequal. We live in a regime where I am free
under civilian law, and Basel is under military laws that destroy his life and he cannot control.
there is a different path, a political solution, without ethnic supremacy, with national rights
for both of our people. And I have to say, as I am here, the foreign policy in this country
is helping to block this path. And, you know, why? Can't you see that we are intertwined?
It's my people can be truly safe if Basel's people are truly free and safe.
There is another way.
So people got very upset at this.
People got very upset at this, right?
They were like, what do you mean?
My people are only safe.
Like factoring Israeli security concerns into this conversation about, you know, apartheid
and genocide is inappropriate was the initial reaction.
But I think what Yuval is saying there, okay, and I don't fully agree with him because I
know he's like said, I mean, he has set a bunch of things about October 7th in the past as
well.
But I think everybody received this in the way that they wanted to, like some people
really liked it because this gives them permission to feel good.
This gives white liberals permission to feel good, right?
But, yeah, what he's saying basically is, yeah, nobody is free until everybody is free.
Okay?
Having said that, however, having said that, this is of course not the end all be all,
okay?
He's not going to, I don't think Yuvala's ever gonna come out and be like, you know,
Hamas is bullets are guided by Allah.
They are doing a moral thing or whatever.
He's not gonna say that.
Okay?
That's ridiculous.
The expectation here is that he is not speaking to the Palestinians in general.
He's not speaking to those who understand the dynamic very well.
He's speaking to those who don't understand this dynamic at all.
That's the entire purpose of this fucking documentary.
That's it.
So when he says, like, we will never be free until Palestinians are free, you can
either interpret that as, well, Israel has security concerns and he just only cares about
the Israeli security concerns, or you can interpret it as no one is free until everyone
is free. And that, you know, I mean, I think he should have just said this, uh, there should
be an end to this occupation. Like that, that would have wrapped it up much nicer. I think,
you know, this is like what you say when trans black shadows get mad at you when talking
about them. He's not talking to you. His job is to be the bridge. The Western
Israeli audience and that's what he's doing using your privilege for good is a good thing and all the hate you've always getting is
Unworn to be mad at Palestinians need Israelis to help them tell stories don't be mad at the Israeli guys doing the job
You should be doing yeah, I don't I I don't think that I don't think that this is a I
Don't think that this is a bad thing at all. I think this is a good thing
He clearly doesn't want the occupation to end. I don't think that that's the case. I
Don't know it's not too late for life for the living
There is no other way.
Thank you.
But even his invocation of October 7, I think, can be interpreted within the context of,
within the context of, like, October 7 happened because of the occupation.
Yeah, there's a crime for undermining the crimes of October 7, classic fascist shit.
He just can't, and it's okay for now.
Like, I think that this documentary, winning an Oscar, is a good thing, okay?
I will stand by that because this documentary, winning an Oscar is like, I don't think people
understand what the issue of Palestine was like, especially in circles like fucking Hollywood.
Okay.
Like, I know that a lot of you got really woke on this post October 7 and you have
these opinions, right?
You have these strong opinions and that's understandable because you've seen
Incredible amounts of cruelty like you've seen a direct genocide in real time take place
And that's like mind-boggling that other people don't see the reality that you see
But as someone who is 33 fucking years old
I'm telling you when I when I'm when I explain to you that as someone who has seen this
Play out in the western world for the past 10 years as someone who has been outspoken about palestinian
in liberation, I cannot comprehend how we even got to this point. Hollywood is the number
one foreign policy defenders, okay? Hollywood loves the State Department. They booed Michael
Moore. They booed him off stage famously. Michael Moore is like a social Democrat who's like,
maybe we shouldn't be so violent. Like that's all he said, and they were like, boo,
Kill yourself, you know
Yeah, five broken cameras is the last Palestinian doc that was nominated and lost in 2013 to searching for sugar man
And the director was detained on entry into the US
Like I cannot I cannot comprehend how far
how far
This movement has has gotten in terms of especially like broad public appeal, but even
Institutional recognition. Okay. I am never going to disparage that
I'm never going to despair that because everything that I do, everything that I advocate for,
I advocate while also taking a serious look at the material realities.
I also advocate, or everything that I advocate for, I obviously factor in public collective
consciousness on these issues, okay?
It's a massive, massive and very significant moment.
And yes, the sad reality of it is that this would have never happened if it was not attached
to an Israeli investigative reporter.
And even if I have my disagreements with some of the things that Yuval has said apparently
on his Twitter and whatnot, it still doesn't matter.
972 Magazine and Local Call are fantastic investigative reporters inside of Israel.
And if you are serious about covering the many different crimes that the Israeli state
engages in, okay, you need guys like him.
That's it.
You don't have to agree with everything that they say.
You don't have to agree with their entire worldview.
But they're doing an incredibly important job, okay?
In the face of untold amounts of cruelty that the Palestinians are subjected to,
They're using their position of privilege, okay?
And and and they're like you've all can go anywhere he wants he can go anywhere in the United States of America
He can go anywhere he wants in the West Bank
His freedom of travel is not restricted in the same way that that Basel and Hamdan's freedom of travel is restricted
Okay, their families are constantly under threat
You should remind Chad that Basel's village also was reported on by Sharina
Akhla, bringing attention to the plight of Palestinians is a net good. Yeah,
Shireen Abu Akhla, reporting from the village featured in Northern land. Sadly,
just as the occupation forces killed the residents of the village, they eventually killed her too.
Yeah, just as I will not stand down whenever people tell me that I am pro-terrorism,
that I'm an Islamist fundamentalist who loves Hamas or whatever, just as I will not stand down
from helping Americans, the Western audiences, understand how violent militant resistance occurs
when a population is subjected to untold amounts of cruelty and violence themselves,
and how that violence and the standard of that violence is set by the occupying entity,
the more powerful force the Israeli state in this process, and a reaction to that violence is
always going to try to match the level of violence that Israel is subjecting the Palestinians to,
just like I will not back away from that commentary, I am not going to immediately cast aside people
who might not agree with me every step of the way, okay? That's it. That's it. That's it.
That's how it goes. Let's continue. My job and the role I see myself playing in the issues
that I speak on is to actively bring more allies, is to actively convince more people
to have an empathetic approach that those who are struggling and a part of that, a big
part of that revolves around understanding that most people are victim to social conditioning.
Social conditioning plays a major role in their lives in the way that they approach the world,
and it's no different whether you live in Israel and you take for granted everything that the
Israeli state has told you, everything that Israeli education has taught you, or if you live
in the United States of America, and you learn that, you know, our founding fathers were good
guys ultimately, but, you know, maybe some of them hunt slaves, it's not a big deal, whatever,
you know? Maybe there was a little bit of genocide, or that America does a lot of violence,
but it's actually ultimately at the best of a greater good, right? I understand that if that
is so many people's starting position, that I have to work to actively deprogram these people,
And I can't do that by constantly yelling at them and saying that they're bad or problematic or evil, okay?
No one is
Evil
There is no such thing. No one is good or bad
everyone is
At the end of the day
Victim to their material circumstances
Okay victim to social conditioning and they can do evil things
things in the process or they can do good things in the process, but we are still responding
to shapes and colors, okay?
That's it.
Peter Bynard says, this is what must scare APEC and its allies.
They're winning politically but losing culturally.
Their attack ads can't stop Blue America's shift in collective consciousness on the
question of Palestinian freedom.
If politics really is downstream from culture, they're in trouble, okay?
There's completely unhinged peace on the leading Israeli side channel to Osmako claims that
you all Abraham spoke in such an offensive manner by the state of Israel without understanding
the consequence of the damage he causes, but that his body language shows he was lying.
Analysis of body language leads to the hypothesis that there are strong interests driving Abraham's
behavior.
These guys in Israel cannot even comprehend how someone can see the Israeli state as
ultimately doing a lot of evil.
Okay.
They can't even comprehend it.
they just they think like oh we must bring in a behavioral analysis analysis of body language
leads to the hypothesis that there are strong interests driving Abraham's behavior
he wanted to say terror babies but he stopped himself
yes he is being mind controlled by a puppet it seems the puppet is Hamas and Iran
He must have been given the the drug that Hamas has that makes you debt
Ultimately all I'm saying is I would be a
Unimaginable hypocrite if I were to speak out against those who are like offer a passive or towel or
Numerous other anti-zine as Israelis as someone who is an anti-imperialist American, okay
The fuck? I live in America. I like America. I want America to reach its potential. I want
America to take advantage of its bounty, its endless bounty, and actually do good for the
world. Okay, that's why I endlessly critique it. It's ridiculous. I think a lot of people get
that washed away in all of the,
what sounds has America banned all the time, nonsense.
Okay.
Ah, silly.
Yes, one might even say,
I want to make America great again.
Except I don't think that there was any moment
where America truly was living up to its standard,
its potential.
I will get to the stalker stuff
with Emeru, Valkyrie, Sina.
and Emily later, I'm not going to talk about that right now.
But the one note that I will give you on that, obviously,
I'm sure many of you saw this already, it was massive news.
Valkyrie and Sina were doing a Cicathon for the past week.
And in the process, they went to the Santa Monica Pier while they were doing an IRL stream,
and a stalker came up to them and actively threatened to kill them.
All I'm going to say for now, because I will get back to that in a little bit,
but all I will say on that note for now is that if it happens to them,
think about how much that kind of stuff happens
to just average regular women on a daily basis.
men not being able to handle rejection and instantly hitting a violent note is very common place.
Women talk about it all the time. Okay, women talk about it all the time. And regular women,
not just like content creators, not just influencers, it happens all the goddamn time.
This industry is unimaginably misogynistic. Everything is unimaginably misogynistic,
obviously. And this is a byproduct of that. And it's going to get worse, I think, because
There are people like andrutate out there the keem stars of the world all these fucking assholes who spend
Uh every waking moment talking about how women ain't shit and they're normalizing this kind of rhetoric
They're normalizing this kind of behavior. Um, it's obviously multifaceted because they're also uh content creators themselves
So there's like
Obviously a lot of content creators myself included that
you know, have always had stalkers. Like this is the untold reality of Twitch streaming in general,
okay? Every single content creator, no matter what size they're at, has a lot of people that are
just not well. And they can't get the medical help that's necessary for obvious reasons. And that
That paired up with unrestricted misogyny creates a really, really dangerous situation.
Yeah.
And if you don't believe me, if you don't want to take my word for it, if you think,
you know, I'm some douchebag, then go ask your mother, go ask your sister, go ask
any woman in your life that has ever had a similar altercation in a workplace or
a bar.
Like this is the reality that women have to live with on a daily basis
I've seen some people
Instantly try to victim blame, which is a very common
tactic also utilized by the likes of the
Andretates of the world as well and it those people are just
Psychotic I can't say what I truly think about what must be done in that process because I just got back from a band
That's all I'm saying. Okay?
But holy moly, okay? We'll get to that later, and I'll talk more about that later. Okay?
Now we're going to talk about President Trump addressing Congress as new tariffs take effect on Mexico,
Canada, and China. This, we've got two major developing stories for you today, not just one,
but two. First, the Trump administration's new tariffs on three major trading partners,
Mexico, Canada, and China went into effect at midnight last night. And some of those
countries have already retaliated. And second, the White House paused all U.S. military aid
to Ukraine after that very explosive showdown between President Trump and President Zelensky.
Now, that's the backdrop for the President's speech tonight in Congress,
and Tony is there in Washington getting ready to bring us all the latest.
Tony, good morning to you. Everybody's saying how dapper you look today. Good morning, Mr.
Copel. Well, Gail, thank you very much. You're back from the Oscars,
Hollywood's biggest nightmare. Oh, there it is. Double-circ Tony. Double-circ'd up Tony, baby.
Tony two tone. My guy, I will never stop thinking about his penis anytime he comes on screen. Okay.
Forever tarnished. I'm sorry. Will I get banned for saying that you champion terrorist militants?
No. You'll just be screaming into a void alongside a bunch of other dumbasses as well.
but keep up the good work brave soldier, you know.
It's been on a beach vacation
and here I am in Washington DC
and it's not even a state of the union.
So I'm questioning my life choices just a little bit,
but look, it is going to be a big night,
a potentially historic night
in what has already been a fast moving
and consequential presidency in less than a hundred days.
You got to keep that in mind.
We've been told by the speaker of the house
to expect fireworks tonight.
So while a typical joint address might be a
somewhat boring, somewhat somber list of goals from a new president, you can expect President
Trump to instead tout action accomplishments. And there's been a lot of that, to be honest
with you. I mean, maybe no president since FDR has attempted so much so quickly.
There is, for example, the at times chaotic effort by Elon Musk and Doge to shrink the
size of the federal government. Also on the list, working toward a ceasefire in
Ukraine by it would seem whatever means necessary. Also the hefty new tariffs on imported
goods from Canada, Mexico and China. And this morning, by the way, China has said it will
retaliate and Canada also already hitting back. And that is just one of many moves this White
House has made to expand the power of the executive branch. So much has happened really
that even folks here in Washington D.C. struggle at times to process it all. But that's
why we have Nancy Cordes, our chief White House correspondent to stay on top of everything.
Nancy, good morning.
morning, Tony, I have had my struggles, but today is a day that the president will be
front and center. And you know that this is a president who cares a lot about the stock
market. But yeah,
Yeah, no, he definitely he cares so much. That's why he's destroying it. That's my king.
That's JD pond on baby. That's my goat right there. He said the treat the rights must
suffer permanent first. He said,
Well, let me put this on.
G.D.
Pondon said, Permanent First World Genocide, the treatler rights in the suburbs will scream
bloody murder.
I will take away their treats.
Have fun.
Enjoy the treats while you can.
You will never enjoy them again.
The Chinese century of prosperity is upon us.
I will make our allies scream and in the process, I will cripple the America economy.
It's Trumponomics yesterday after he announced that there was no way last night I realized
it was a treat the right when I took out a trader Joe's lasagna and it said product
of Canada and I realized it would go up 25% time next time I buy it.
That's right.
Trader Joe is lasagna from Canada, which is a settler colonial entity in and of itself
under the banner of the Commonwealth, still holding up loyalty to the British Empire.
Canada, Canada will also suffer.
out for Canada and Mexico. The Dow fell 650 points. Still 25% tariffs on their goods went
into effect overnight with president. He said the labor aristocracy. I just I love bro.
I love. I love doing JD pondon. I'm sorry. I'm going to stop. I'm going to dial it
back a little bit. Trump calling it a punishment, though it's unclear in the case of Canada
in particular, what that punishment exactly is for.
No room left for Mexico or for Canada.
President Trump is calling today's tariffs a powerful weapon,
a weapon that will now be wielded on food,
lumber, electronics, cars, anything that comes into the US
from Canada and Mexico.
It's a very powerful weapon that politicians
haven't used because they were either dishonest,
Stupid or paid off in some other form.
And now we're using them.
The move could wound American consumers too
as producers pass along that new 25% tax,
driving up the cost of a small car.
I still genuinely do not understand
what Trump's internal purpose for this is.
Like, I don't know.
I've said this already.
I've tried to make sense of this.
I've talked about how maybe it's because he wants to bully
key sectors into submission.
But having said that, this is across the board tariffs.
So it's not even divided evenly by sector.
There is no, it just does not make sense.
it truly feels like he is trying to, it truly feels like he is just trying to break everything.
This, like USAID, I understand a little bit more, right? He's not doing it because
he's not undermining and crippling USAID because he is trying to eradicate American
soft power at the global stage. He's doing it because he personally thinks USAID is just
libtard shit, right? He thinks USAID and all the NGOs and civil society organizations that it funds
is a money sink for numerous democratic party goals and organizations.
There's some truth to that. However, it plays a broader role in doing the bidding
of American Empire at the end of the day. Trump might not have the foresight to recognize
that, right? He might not have the foresight to recognize that. He might be more interested
in changing the approach that America has had in terms of focusing on soft power initiatives
and hyper-focusing exclusively and entirely on permanent war.
Not to be a hater, but why do you think Trump unilaterally decides any of this?
I mean, I think, when I say Trump, I'm not just talking about Trump.
I'm talking about his advisors as well.
I'm not simply referencing Donald Trump.
I don't think Donald Trump operates on his own, obviously.
I guess the other point for the tariffs is that it's a regressive tax and he will use
the additional money that they get from tariffs as a way to say we filled up the government
coffers.
Now it's time to cut the only progressive tax that exists, which is income tax.
And even then there's a million different loopholes.
I mean, we've talked about all of this stuff already,
but it still does not make a whole lot of sense.
By an estimated $6,200 or an SUV by $9,000,
so many car components are built across the border.
Because of the arbitrary nature of the emergency use
of tariffs that are being done, we
don't know how long they're going to be in fact.
At the end of the day, there is little doubt
that consumers will feel the pain of this,
but it will also impact consumer demand as well.
Economic uncertainty already pushed consumer confidence
down in February.
This will help Tesla, right?
No, it won't.
No, it will help zero car manufacturers
because even the cars that are manufactured
in the United States of America,
because of previous trade agreements,
whether it be NAFTA or ironically enough,
the trade agreement that Donald Trump did, NAFTA II, right,
has created this network of back and forth
between Canada and Mexico, where they passed the border, passed the American border into
Mexico and, uh, passed the border into Canada and vice versa a million times until the car
is assembled in the United States of America.
That actually ends up, yes, US MCA is what I'm talking about. That actually ends up
greatly increasing the, the cost of the car. If they have to pay for all of the different
parts that are being manufactured in Mexico or Canada before it makes its way into the
the United States of America when every single car manufacturer is paying an entry fee, numerous
times over. Yes, United States-Mexico-Canada agreement, which was signed on July 1, 2020,
okay, drafted in the 30th of September, 2018, is an agreement that Donald Trump put forth,
Okay? Which was a substitution for NAFTA,
North American Free Trade Agreement,
which Donald Trump was very much against.
But then he basically did the exact same thing.
For the people who still don't understand
how tariffs work, it is an entry fee
that Americans pay for, okay?
American importers pay for, just so you understand.
It's not paid by the Mexican government
and it's not paid by the Canadian government.
The negative consequences for trade for the Canadian or the Mexican side will obviously be that people will look for domestic manufacturers instead, or they will go to other foreign nations that provide the same exact resources, same exact materials, or same exact parts at a cheaper price, because now they don't have an additional 25% that they have to pay.
at the point of bringing it into the United States of America.
So it will lower trade and it will restrict, I mean it has the capacity to restrict
trade. That is why it's often used. I am not anti-tariff across the board. I've said this
many times over. I'm not against trade protectionist. I'm not against trade protectionism
across the board. I do think that there needs to be obviously a competitive manufacturing industry.
And the irony here is that for many of the things that if you're doing across the board tariffs,
there is no competitive domestic manufacturing on some of the raw materials, for example,
that you need. What are you going to do if it just doesn't exist here?
You know, but let's get back.
A new CBS News poll, just 24% of Americans say the economy is getting better.
This is bad because normally it's the 30% that are like the Trump loyalists that will
always say, no, it's getting better.
It's so sick now.
I love the economy.
And even that number has like diminished.
He's sub 30 in his super base.
Okay.
That's not good.
49% said it's getting worse, but President Trump says the tariffs are needed to punish
Mexico and Canada for allowing migrants and the deadly drug fentanyl into the U.S.
Less than 1% of all fentanyl that comes into the U.S. is apprehended at the Canadian border.
So why use fentanyl as a reason?
They're only apprehending 1%.
You're right about that.
It's a little more than that, but they should be apprehending much more because a lot
comes through Canada.
Again, all the data that we have indicates that that is simply not the case.
But what does come in through Canada is about a third of the softwood lumber that this nation
uses, which has led analysts to predict that home-building prices will be going up.
President Trump says that if companies don't like these new tariffs, they can simply move
production to the United States.
But Tony, when it comes to things like-
What are you gonna do?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Like, okay.
Okay, you don't like the tariffs?
It's time to destroy our forest.
Is that what it is?
Oh, you don't like the tariffs?
Okay, well, sorry.
Time to destroy American forests.
The Canada just has a lot of trees, man.
They have a lot of allocation for this.
What are you supposed to do?
I mean, we got forests too.
Don't misunderstand me.
We got forests out here.
It's just that, like I guess he just wants to destroy the remainder of the American forests,
you know?
Lumber or fruits and vegetables from Mexico, moving it here, not that easy.
Yeah, it takes time and there are benefits that the president is touting, but there
could be sacrifices in the short term.
Sacrifice is not a word he typically would want to use with the American people.
We'll see if it comes up tonight.
More on President Trump's tariffs of what they could mean for consumers.
Elizabeth Schulzee joins us to break down the potential.
Can you announce that yesterday going to clear 280 million acres of national forestry?
Jesus Christ, dude.
I mean, I suspect that it'll be much easier to do these sorts of things when you can't
do an impact study because you fired every researcher and you think impact studies are
woke and gay.
I wonder, I wonder what the long-term consequences will look like when you're just gutting
the remainder of the American forests now. Oh, great. I love having people control the wheel
that have no interest in being even remotely reasonable. Just doing absolute death and destruction.
Great stuff. So impact at Elizabeth, what kind of products? You can't ramp up production
that quickly. There's also that side of it too, but I'm not even, I'm not even going to get into that.
Okay. I did, there's also obviously the, the fact that you can't just like materialize
out of nowhere, uh, all of these businesses that seemingly did not exist. You know, you just
can't do that. Are going to be affected by these tariffs on America's top trading partners.
Hey, good morning, Robin. Well, the short answer here is that a lot of products that we buy day to day could get more expensive groceries, gas,
shoes, clothes, electronics. Mexico, Canada, and China, they kind of for almost have all of the goods that were shipped into the U.S. last year.
And the way that these tariffs work is that American businesses that are importing goods from those countries will now have to pay the U.S. government a higher fee for their products to cross the border.
to adopt the border. A key goal there is to incentivize companies to rely on domestic
manufacturers to boost jobs here, but in the short term those American businesses will
have to decide if they absorb higher costs from the tariffs or if they pass them down
to their customers. Robin. Okay, so if companies do pass down the cost, how soon could consumers
pay higher prices? Okay, so if these tariffs stay in place, economists expect you could
start to see price hikes by Memorial Day. For groceries, it could be within weeks
or even days robin. So take fresh produce, for example, about 63% of U.S. vegetable imports
come from Mexico. I think bell peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, limes, avocados, a lot
of that fresh produce. And grocers, they can't really stockpile those foods in advance. So
if they decide to pass down the entire 25% tariff, that means your $3 avocado could
end up costing $3.75 pretty quickly. Liquor like tequila and Canadian whiskey could
also get more expensive. And then the auto sector, really another big one at risk here.
Auto makers rely on thousands of different car parts that are traded between the U.S.
Canada and Mexico. If they are paying more to get those parts, you could end up paying
$3,000 more for a new car. And some of the dealers that we've talked to say that they
might raise those prices within months. And many are wondering about gas prices,
Elizabeth. Could they go up too? They could. So about 60% of the crude oil that the
US imports comes from Canada. Our refineries are actually uniquely built to process Canadian
oil. The national average right now for a gallon of gas, about $3. Gas buddy expects that the
tariffs mean prices could pull up by 15 cents a gallon in the Midwest.
That's right. My goat, my goat, he's doing it. He's doing it. He's fixing the cost
of living crisis by making it so that by making it so expensive that you just die.
So sick. He's doing it, man. This goes back to the thing that I was talking about initially,
the resentment and the jealousy that I have, the envy that I have
for Trump, getting to do whatever he wants. And his fan base just eating it up,
like it's the most brilliant thing that's ever happened.
Like it's the most brilliant thing that's ever taken place. He's doing it again.
He could just be like, yep, that's right. You're gonna suffer, but it's okay,
because you deserve to suffer. We are going to deindustrialize the United States of America.
The labor aristocracy will suffer the largest penalties for the American
empire's cruelty, endless bounty, unequal exchanges over folks.
Okay, let's listen to Maria Bartiromo crashing out at a auto dealership guy freaking out about
these tariffs.
Christ, so Jeep Dodge Ram.
Yeah.
Impact.
I loved it for months.
I said, and many other people who understand what's going on said over and over again
that this is going to tank the American economy, that this is going to make everything
insanely expensive. Okay? We said this over and over again. And for some weird reason,
no one on the conservative side ever took this seriously. Like I don't, I don't get it.
Dramatic. Dramatic. I, I, I, I, all of this will make the EU stronger. No, it won't. It
absolutely will not. You're wrong. And so noted for a customer, $80,000 truck. It's $100,000 now.
so he's not going to buy the truck. It's going to sit on my lot and you know the higher interest
rates we're paying right now for floor plan and nobody's going to buy the truck because
it just had a $20,000 price increase. Kelly Blue Book will put the number up. They say
the average vehicle will go up by about $3,000. Does it sound right to you? No, no. We don't
have the broad stroke. We don't have the linear, the tight strokes. I just wanted to make
my camera smaller, so you can see the Dow futures on the ticker in the corner there.
Like while all of this is happening, the stock market is taking a nosedive,
which is also weird. He said he was going to do it. Why didn't he?
This is the other thing I don't understand. Why is the stock market responding to this now?
He's been saying he's going to do this for months at this point. I just do not understand.
And stocks modestly, mostly rebound, I know, but like, I don't know, I just, I don't understand
it.
I'm too stupid, I guess.
I'm too stupid to understand the high IQ games that people are playing on the stock market.
But to me, it's a 25% in, you know, tariff.
So that affects our parts that come from over these countries and a whole bunch of
our cars.
And you've been basing your business model on free trade, basically.
This is what the American Automakers Policy Council says, Maria, in response to this.
They say, are American automakers invested billions in the U.S. to meet the requirements
of the current free trade agreement?
They shouldn't have their competitiveness undermined by tariffs that will raise the
cost of building vehicles in the U.S. and stymie investment in the American workforce
while competitors from the outside of North America benefit.
The German, no tariff on the German cars coming out now, Japanese, they're going to be okay.
But think about it, we built our business around that.
The OEMs built their business around that.
And now it changes on a dime.
And we can't build a $4 billion plant overnight in the United States.
So I think building in the United States is great.
I think enhancing the participation from the other countries on the other things.
We this is pretty radical. I hear you
There you go, Maria with a rubber meets the road here. All right great. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, exactly Jeff. Thank you
Thank you so much Jeff Locke at the Dodge
Ram
plant that I mean
Not plant. It's not a plant Chris. They're selling cars. Thank you dealership. You know what? Let me let me ask you this
Okay. Yes. How many Dodd Rams do you see driving around Europe? Okay. I once again am asking a
Mara fat
morons
Why they do not make cars
that are appropriate for the European market and then sit there and demand that they drive these behemoth tanks on
roads that cannot sustain them
Make better cars.
It's so stupid.
Make smaller, fuel efficient cars with smaller engines.
That's it.
Abide by EU standards and regulations.
The Chinese car manufacturers never turned around
and were like, no, you're gonna drive our version
of these vehicles. We don't care. They looked at the market and they were like, okay, we'll
make these incredibly competitive and very cheap electric vehicles and we will flood
your market and they will be impossible to compete with on a price point because we're
heavily subsidizing it. Okay? That's it. It's not like they were sitting around
being like, no, we want to make tanks. Why won't the dumb Europeans purchase our tanks?
The cars that we make here in the United States of America are ginormous.
The F-150 until this past year was the most popular vehicle year over year, okay?
The F-150, the Ford F-150 pickup truck.
The Ford F-150 pickup truck inside of the European Union needs a commercial driver's
license to be able for a European to operate an F-150, you need a commercial driver's license.
Do you understand? You're immediately automatically shut out from half of the European streets.
You can't go into any European cities. It is ginormous. What are we doing here?
It's so frustrating where they're like, why won't they buy our tanks? Why won't they do that?
They made the calculation that the American cultural exports will eventually lead Europeans
to want street tanks. And to some extent it's working. I see way too many Ram 1500s on the
road here in Austria. Wait, really? I thought you meant Australia was about to say, well,
Well, they have a youth culture over there, but Austria?
That's crazy.
How many Dodge Rams do you see driving around India?
I mean, not many, I bet.
Why?
Because they don't buy our cars.
And that's what President Trump is trying to do.
Yeah, also, that's the other thing.
Toyota literally sells different cars in the US to match our needs and interests.
You won't find a Tundra or Tacoma in the heart of Tokyo when they can't fit in
the side roads.
Exactly.
Even the Tacoma has become ginormous and then you have the tundra, which is the American competitor
It's crazy. I
Just I hate it. I hate that like I
Hate that the one good thing about the European Union is walkable cities and and a walkable infrastructure in public transit
And that is partially because you know
they did that before the American brain rot set in. Okay? They did that. And now we're just
not going to force their hands and be like, nah, dude, you have to have these tanks. You have to
literally rebuild your cities, destroy the public transit so that you can have four to
50 pickup trucks driving around. You have to break, you have to literally destroy what remains
of like the parks and whatnot. So you can create these ginormous parking lot structures.
trying to change maybe Dodd should start building them here and selling them here
also for GM etc to do the same thing they have non-american models of the EU for
examples a common gribe with the EV community these American automakers
being cruel cool EVs everywhere but the US think shooting breaks saloons
why are cars so thick now like is it just a marverine culture nonsense no
it's partially because of cafe standards that if you make a if you make a
vehicle so large that it just like becomes a commercial vehicle basically but you can still
sell it as a as a regular vehicle all right where were we where were we where were we where were
we all right let's get back to this much as 40 cents a gallon within a week in the northeast
robin all right let's with our thanks to you we have some breaking news coming in canada and
bionics are just introduced speaking right now up to the u.s. lab canada with 25 tariffs
Let's listen SUVs get the truck of mission standards. So they get more lack more lax admission standards exactly
It's a way to it's a way to take advantage of a regulatory loophole is
That's how everything works in this goddamn country is everyone is a charlatan
So today the United States launched a trade war against Canada
their closest partner and ally
the closest friend
at the same time
They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin,
a lying, murderous dictator.
Make that make sense.
Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite.
But we will not back down from a fight.
Not when our country and the well-being of everyone in it is at stake.
At the moment, the U.S. tariffs came into effect in the early hours of this morning, and so
did the Canadian response.
Boom.
Canada will be implementing.
Yeah.
Enjoy not having maple syrup, you American dummies.
I'm kidding.
Obviously there's so much more than just maple syrup.
Let's be real.
25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods.
Starting with tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods immediately, and tariffs on the remaining
$125 billion of American products in 21 days time.
Should these tariffs not cease, we are in active and ongoing discussions with provinces
and territories to pursue several non-tariff measures.
which will demonstrate that there are no winners in a trade war.
Now, just like I did a month ago, I want to speak first directly to the American people.
We don't want this.
We want to work with you as a friend and ally.
And we don't want to see you hurt, either.
But your government has chosen to do this to you.
As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically all across your
country.
Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk at the thousands of workplaces
that succeed because of materials from Canada or because of consumers in Canada or both.
They've chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items like
groceries and gas, on major purchases like cars and homes, and everything in between.
They've chosen to harm American national security, impeding access to the abundant critical
minerals, energy, building materials, and fertilizers that we have and that the United
States needs to grow and prosper.
They've chosen to launch a trade war that will first and foremost harm American families.
They've chosen to sabotage their own agenda that was supposed to usher in a new golden
age for the United States.
And they've chosen to undermine the incredible work we've done together to tackle the
scourge that is fentanyl, a drug that must be wiped from the face of the earth.
So on that point, let me be crystal clear.
There is absolutely no justification or need whatsoever for these tariffs today.
Now the legal pretext your government is using to bring in these tariffs is that Canada
is apparently unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl. Well, that is totally
false. Let's look at the facts. Our border is already safe and secure. Far less than
1% of fentanyl flows and less than 1% of illegal crossings into the-
I think one of the funniest aspects of this is like, Trudeau is like subtly trying
to throw Mexico under the bus here, and also fact checking Trump.
But what's hilarious about it is that Claudia Scheinbaum did her version of this as well,
which is that Claudia Scheinbaum said the objective reality, which is that fentanyl
is trafficked into the United States by American nationals for the American public consumer.
Okay? That's it. It's the truth. American citizens are the ones who are trafficking the
fentanyl into the United States of America for the consumption of other American citizens.
Okay? And in the process, in the process, those American citizens also
defend the cartel's interest by giving them endless amounts of weapons.
Americans, we are a belligerent state that is ruining the lives of, actively ruining
the lives of countries that, unfortunately, are near our national boundaries.
But God forbid, we take ownership over any of that.
No, it must be the Guatemalan abuelas, you know?
United States comes from Canada.
But we act it, because we know we can always do better.
We responded to concerns including from the president by implementing an ambitious $1.3
billion border plan.
A border plan that includes generational investments in new AI and imaging tools to stop the flow
of fentanyl in its tracks, stronger coordination and information sharing with American agencies,
along with the deployment of drones, helicopters,
and additional personnel to keep our border secure.
Now, a month ago, as part of an agreement
with the United States that paused the tariffs,
we made further commitments.
We appointed Kevin Brasau as our fentanyl czar,
a man who dedicated his multi-decade career
in law enforcement to combating organized crime networks
and drug trafficking.
We designated seven drug cartels, sick, evil groups
who cynically profit off the pain and suffering of people
on both sides of the border as the terrorist organizations
that they are.
And just yesterday, we launched a new joint operations
partnership supported by a $200 million investment
between Canada's security and law enforcement agencies,
a partnership that will enhance the coordination
information and intelligence in order to thwart criminal gangs involved in the illegal fentanyl
trade. He spends too much time on this. Trump does not care even a little bit about fentanyl.
What's really interesting is he's doing the same thing that Zelensky did,
which I think might have made sense in the past, maybe, but like doesn't currently make sense
for present day America, which is respond reasonably and try to reason with the American
audience by sidestepping Trump, okay? He's not talking to Trump here. He's talking to the Americans,
okay? He's being like, oh, your president is lying to you about this stuff. Please listen
to what I have to say. Please listen to reason. And I think it's a foolhardy endeavor.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't think that a lot of these Americans will ever hear out
what Justin Trudeau is saying. Okay? They just don't care. I don't think they care at all. I
don't think they care about the truth. I don't think they care about being reasonable or looking
at the cold hard data. I just think that they are purely spite driven, very confused,
very angry all the time, and Trump keeps their attention focused on vulnerable populations
in general. It's worth a try. No, dude, it's not. I don't think it is. That's why I was,
that's why I said the exact same thing about Zelensky. When Zelensky went on Brett Bayer
and like tried to talk directly to the American population and turn around and say like,
you know, listen to my, listen to what's going on. Like my people are suffering,
okay. I'm a president, like I have to defend their interests. America, we love America,
we love Americans. You've supported us throughout this process. I'm like,
you know, we still need your help. I don't think Americans care. They just don't. I think that
Americans are insanely selfish. I don't think that you are going to be able to win over
the Americans as, especially with like reason. I don't know. Maybe I'm just so jaded
Because I tried to get Americans as an American citizen to understand
That things could be so much better if we had healthcare for example
Or if we just stopped spending so much money on war overseas and like giving unlimited billions to israel so they can continue
Their baby murder campaign or whatever and americans say i'm a terrorist for that
They say i want vuvuzela rat eating
When I say, oh, I want socialized medicine in this country, Americans, a big chunk of them turn around and say, oh, you want Venezuela style rat for dinner, rat for breakfast. That's what you want. They're brainbroken. Like I don't know.
I try reasoning with the public all the time. And let me tell you, as someone who tries to reason with them using logic, using common sense, many of them do not respond.
The only thing that they respond to is, you know, the direct impact of Trump's actions.
Once it starts hurting them, directly they'll notice it, they'll feel it, only then will
they wake up to that reality, and even then many of them will still go, oh it's because
we haven't like done enough cruelty to migrants or something.
our actions are working. As the U.S. states, as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
just to acknowledge, there was a 97% drop in fentanyl seizures from January
compared to December to a near zero low of less than half an ounce seized in
in January, even with all the further
enforcements and actions we've taken at the borders.
In sum, we stepped up. We engaged closely and constructively
with the President and his administration. We did
everything we promised. We stuck to our word.
And we did it because we believe in working
together to protect our citizens.
Now I want to speak directly to one specific American, Donald.
In the over eight years, you and I have worked together.
We've done big things.
We signed a historic deal that has created record jobs
and growth in both of our countries.
We've done big things together on the world stage as Canada and the U.S. have done together for decades, for generations.
And now we should be working together to ensure even greater prosperity for North Americans in a very uncertain and challenging world.
Now it's not in my habit to agree with the Wall Street Journal.
But Donald, because he's woke, because he's woke and he is a Fidel Castro's next of kin.
That's why, because Justin Trudeau is a, is a communist.
They point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do.
Yeah.
Look, the, the, the thing is, I will say this much, okay?
Now, the reason why I'm not anti-terror across the board is because I do think that it has
the capacity to beef up domestic manufacturing, okay, if done correctly.
If it's managed through unions like the UAW, for example, and they play a big role in how
manufacturing can be increased, for example, I just don't trust the Donald Trump administration
to actually actively give a seat at the table to the UAW, though, I think it could
it could be done
correctly issues can't be blanket tears cross the board for uh... each
individual nation
what he's doing here is basically breaking the toys
that america benefited from for years and years and years that's all he's
doing
trade negotiations that he actually renegotiated
usm c a
is
the the united states mexico canada agreement is literally nafta to donald
trump implemented that
So when he turns around, he's like, yeah, I don't want to know more.
What I fail to, what I find very strange about these decisions is that these are negotiations
and agreements that benefited America and the American consumers, often at the cost of American
manufacturing, clawing that back and reshaping American priorities and reshaping American
manufacturing in this way, is not necessarily a bad thing in the long term, if done correctly.
But of course, as is the case with Donald Trump, he's not doing it correctly. I don't
think that he's doing it for a good reason. I don't think he's doing it to improve American
manufacturing. But to be fair, I also don't know what he is trying to do anyway because
Because so much of the Trump administration is just genuine insanity.
Yeah, we'd have to do China-level central planning to actually re-industrialize, just
going to blanket, just doing blanket tears makes no sense.
I know.
We two friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see.
And now, to my fellow Canadians, I won't sugarcoat it.
This is going to be tough, even though we're all going to pull together, because that's
what we do.
We will use-
The craziest thing though, watch the left is who was on in the streets in the 90s and
early 2000s against these trade agreements.
Yeah.
How do you think he's going to get out of it?
I just, I don't even know what the hell he's doing.
I've just never seen a right-wing administration behave like this.
Like, I've never really, even liberal administrations now don't behave like this.
Like, and I don't think it's like a repolarization happening in the two American major parties.
I don't think that like, Trump is now actively trying to bring back American manufacturing
and create strong labor unions for Americans.
I just don't think that he's doing that.
Because if he was doing that, he would not be actively destroying the administrative state.
He would not be actively destroying the administrative state while simultaneously, yeah, this is
from two months ago.
Hold on, there's a newer version of this that I believe he did a couple of days ago.
I'm going to watch this instead.
He, Yanis Verifakis, former Greek finance minister, a friend of the show, one of my
My favorite bald man is on Rhino-Collex Dispatches on BT Breakthrough News, talking about what
possibly could be the reason for why Trump is doing all of the things that he's doing
in terms of tariffs.
Let's take a look.
And it is a rational plan.
It is a well-thought-out plan.
For me, it is a terrible plan in the sense that it works against the interests of the
majority of Americans and against the interests of the majority of humanity.
But we need to understand it before we fight it.
And the liberal establishment are like headless chickens running around in the hope that somehow
Trump is going to fail as a result of not having a plan.
He's not going to have to fail because he doesn't have a plan.
If he fails, he will fail because there will be people and movements that oppose him
who understand his plan.
So I just wanted to make this.
It's an important idea.
Okay. So what is the plan? To begin with, to understand his plan, we have to understand
his main gripe, his main discontent regarding the state of the United States. The vast
majority of people around the world, and that includes me, we believe that, and nothing
we're not wrong to believe that the United States has an exorbitant privilege, and that
is the US dollar, the US dollar and the US markets. Okay. America is an incredibly wealthy
nation. And that's why even the poorest Americans in comparison to like middle class people
in Europe, for example, are still, when compared on the global marketplace, have a lot more
purchasing power, right? Like, that's why, that's why sometimes people will say stuff
like, oh, well, you know, Alabama is a, Alabama's like a wealthier than England, right? And
say stuff like that all the time. Now, that's just, that's true. There's true to that. Your PC is
totally freezing up. No, everything is fine on my end. What ended up happening, I think, is a site
like a server side issue on the Twitch side. Might depend where in the EU.
Credit card debt is not purchasing power. Yes, it is. You're wrong. It quite literally is if
If you are someone who's selling goods in the American marketplace, it doesn't matter if
it's being purchased with credit card debt.
What matters is the money that you're getting.
That's it.
That's it.
That's literally like, I understand where you're coming from because it doesn't, that
is precisely the reason why if you simply look at GDP and if you simply look at
purchasing power, you kind of fail to recognize that like Americans on average have a way worse
quality of life than Europeans on average do, because European states at least like create a
comfortable barrier of security and offer some social safety nets that Americans do not have
and that they have to purchase in the private marketplace. This also then feeds back into
the GDP ironically enough. But in terms of selling goods into the American market, in terms of selling
goods to the Americans, it doesn't matter if they're buying it with credit card debt or not. If you're
a manufacturer of goods and you want to enter the American marketplace, you don't care if they're
buying it with credit card debt, you don't care if they're buying it with the predatory loans.
Okay? You just care about them buying your goods. Okay? That's it.
I'm in the world that is in demand independently of what the United States produces. So the
only reason why you want a British pound is if you want to buy something produced in
Britain or if you want to go to Britain as a visitor, as a tourist. Nobody else
once pounds, really, maybe for speculation. But you know, I'm speaking to you from Athens.
When I put gas, petrol in my motorcycle, right, even if it is a Greek company buying petrol
from a Greek or a French distilled, you know, company that has purchased crude oil from let's
Libya so there's no American corporation involved at all that act of purchasing gas for my motorcycle
increases your power point bro i think chatter i think it's a it's a you issue i think you're
gonna have to refresh it's the stream is i believe fine for everyone else the demand for dollars
because oil is denominated in dollars so that's exactly the privilege of the United States
It's what allows, as I was saying before, the Germans to keep selling their net exports to the
United States, the Chinese to do this, the Japanese to do it and how this is all recycled
through the world state and it becomes rents for their entire class in the United States.
It becomes rents for the bankers in the world, and so on and so forth.
But Trump, while understanding all this and loving it, he loves the fact that the dollar
has these exorbitant powers for the United States ruling class, and he's one of them.
Nevertheless, he sees this exorbitant privilege also, or primarily, as an exorbitant burden.
From his perspective, he's a nationalist.
He doesn't like the fact that the United States can no longer build nuclear submarines
because you don't have an engineering sector anymore.
You're not producing enough steel.
once said back in the 80s, 1982, 83, I saw a quote from him, that if you don't have steel,
you don't have a country.
America is not producing steel anymore in any substantial quantities.
It's China primarily, and also German.
So for him, this exorbitant privilege, which he adores, comes with the exorbitant burden
of effectively shrinking the United States.
But then he has also an economic theory behind it, which leads him to conclude that this exorbitant
privilege is not going to last long, that Carnage will come to the United States.
And I don't think he's wrong on this.
His argument is this.
Now why does the United States have such a large trade deficit vis-à-vis Germany,
Japan, China and so on?
Why is it that the market doesn't work?
Because if Paul Krugman and all the other liberal establishment economists were right,
that markets work to equilibrate through demand and supply prices, interest rates and exchange
rates, the dollar should have fallen because America has a trade deficit.
Every country that has a trade deficit, its currency comes down.
But why is the dollar not coming down?
Because it has this exorbitant privilege, because people want it for other reasons.
But from the perspective of Trump's team, not just Trump, but he has a team of
economists around him, who are not dodos, who are, you know, quite smart. They may be
evil, but they are smart. And what they realize is that that's their thinking, that's their
analysis, that the reason why the dollar is not coming down is because the central banks
of the foreign countries, or foreigners, foreign central banks, hoard dollars. Now,
why do they hoard dollars? Because dollar is the reserve currency. So when Germany
sells cars to the United States. You have all these dollars going back to Germany. And what happens
with these dollars? The vast majority of them, the dollars that are not returned by Mercedes Benz to
New York, they are hoarded by the Central Bank of Europe. Similarly, by the Bank of England,
by the Bank of Switzerland, by the Bank of Sweden, by the Bank of Japan, by the Bank of
China increasingly and three trillion dollars is held by the central bank of Japan three
trillion three thousand billion dollars that's not to be scoffed at and why do they hold these
dollars why don't they convert them into their own currency in order to increase economic activity
because this is how they preserve their currency at low levels if you have a conscience it's
unbearable. Here, join us. Because when you hold these dollars, right, then the value of the
dollar is of your own currency goes up and the competitiveness of your export sector is enhanced.
And therefore Trump says, you see, the foreigners are taking advantage of us. We are gifting them
them, the reserve currency, which keeps their currencies down and keeps their currencies
backstopped instead of holding gold or whatever diamonds, they're holding our dollars.
And in so doing, they are disadvantaged in our exporters, and they're advantaging their
exporters who are importing into the United States.
And this is why he's mad at Japan.
I mean, this is why America historically, uh, a tanked, this is initially why America
tank the Japanese economy as well, which is like the how in the 90s, Japan went into,
turned into a multiple decade of, of, I mean, still to this day has experienced stagnation,
because if it's super cheap to make goods in Japan and then sell it to the American marketplace,
also super cheap, then obviously that is, it's just something that America is not going to be
fond of. If the US dollar is strong, exporting goods out of USA is hard because importing country
needs to buy strong, i.e. expensive USD. Before you have the US status. So does China do this as well?
Stockpile US dollars? Of course. Every country does. And yes, China does as well.
Here comes the story about the tariffs.
Now, conventionally, liberal establishment economists
think that Trump is an idiot because he can't see
that tariffs can't work to eliminate the US trade deficit.
Their view is, and this is not wrong, where they are wrong
is they think that Trump doesn't understand it.
He doesn't understand it.
What the story is that, yes, you slap tariffs
on Chinese aluminum or Chinese plastics
or Chinese clothes, right?
But that will increase the price
that American consumers have to pay.
And that will jeopardize America's economy
because it will push inflation up.
But that at some point is not going
to eliminate the trade deficit
because as this happens, the dollar will go up.
And as the dollar goes up, in the end, American consumers will not be paying more because even
though they will have to pay the tariff, the dollar value will have gone up.
So what they pay in Walmart is not going to be greater.
Now, Trump knows that entirely, you know, I've read policy papers that are circulating
amongst his team and they know this precisely and they love it.
You know why?
Because that's how-
No way Trump understands all that.
No, it's not Trump that understands it.
It's, guys, just like Joe Biden didn't run the American government unilaterally, Donald
Trump is not running the American government unilaterally.
He has a bunch of people around him that are telling him to make these decisions because
they are setting, they are setting what they perceive is going to be the future of the
American economy.
That's it.
You think Donald Trump, you think Donald Trump makes these decisions on his own?
Of course not.
Like, that's why Project 2025, I don't know what that is when he was saying
stuff like that. It was always ridiculous. Of course, he gets all of his notes from the
Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute. Yes. And it's not just Elon Musk.
These are, there's an eclectic group of people that have similar goals and similar interests,
which is like advancing the interests of capital and undermining the administrative state.
And, and some of them might be at odds with one another in terms of like how America
should do trade in the future. And that's a pretty significant disagreement. But ultimately,
right now, as it stands, all of these guys are just holding on, okay? They recognize that America
is dying. It's a dying empire. And they want to pick apart the scraps. They're not necessarily
known for long-term thinking and stability. Capital owners don't really think in decades.
They think in quarters, they think in quarterly earnings reports, which is precisely the reason
why they're like, all right, well, if America is dying, we might as well, you know, pick the corpse
apart for scraps while that is happening. Republic is making the money. They didn't make in four
years that they weren't inside the White House through insider trading. Not necessarily that
either.
How do we get foreigners to pay for the tariffs?
Because here it is something that they state explicitly in their policy papers.
We slap tariffs on them.
Their central banks will immediately reduce their interest rates to absorb the recessionary
shock to their own economies from our tariffs.
As they reduce interest rates, their currency is going to go down, the dollar will go
up.
And the import prices, the prices that Americans pay will not have changed much, but something
will have changed.
The trade debts will not be eliminated, but one thing will have changed.
The foreigners will be paying us money, they will be paying for the tariffs.
And that for the US administration, for the Trump administration is great.
Not only will they be collecting the tariff money, but remember Congress, and particularly
the House of Reps, has the purse strings for tax receipts, but not for tariff receipts.
To increase the amount of money that the US government gets from the American taxpayer,
Trump has to convince Congress. And there he has a very thin majority, and there is just
bedlam. He really doesn't want to have to negotiate with Congress.
I thought the price was supposed to go up. Is that not true? No, I think it will.
So, I mean, that is, in the short term, I think the prices will go up.
Having said that, however, having said that, however, this is Yannis Varoufakis trying
to say that there is a reason for why Donald Trump's administration, like he's trying
to figure out what could possibly be a logical reason.
And it's one of the only explanations that I've heard thus far that at least have some
semblance of logic associated with it, that there is a reason for why he's doing this.
And that is that he considers the power that the American dollar has a great, a major
issue with American manufacturing, and there's obviously truth to that as well, right? And
that if he, by way of implementing these tariffs, he wants to force other countries to make
their goods more expensive so that the American manufacturing comes back and other countries
actually buy from the United States of America.
But in the short term, this will absolutely harm the American economy as it stands.
But the moment he slaps the tariffs, the stream of money goes to the Treasury without any negotiation
with Congress.
And indeed, he can actually even spend this money.
There are some legal impediments, but we know how much he respects those.
And that's phase one.
has been accomplished by the end of phase one to bring down the US trade
efforts. He has increased his treasury stake through the times and he's made the
foreigners suffer and pay for it. And now comes phase two, which is a grand
negotiation. Then he says to them, this is not novel really, Reagan did that to
the Japanese in 1985. Reagan gathered everybody, if you have ever heard of
the so-called Plaza Accords of 1985.
He gathered the European Central Bankers and so on,
but primarily he had the Japanese there,
and he put them under the bathroom
and said, similarly to what Trump wants to do,
you're going to revalue the yen, or else,
or I'm going to slap tariffs on you.
Now, Trump first slaps the tariffs
and then says to the Chinese, to the Germans,
to the Saudis and so on,
you are now going to revalue your currency.
But how you're going to take a chunk of the dollars that you're holding and you're going to sell them that way you are reviving selling them, you know, for your own currency that way you will revive the euro, the yen, the one and so on.
Alternatively, if you don't have that many dollars and the European Union, the US and doesn't have that many dollars, it is the Japanese that have more than a trillion and the Chinese what three trillion.
Yeah, Janice is right. When you slap tariffs on countries, countries will reduce their
interest rates to protect their industries so their currencies will go down against
the dollar, hence the tariffs costs will be absorbed by those countries instead of the
US and prices won't go up. Maybe. I do not understand is that for that to work, factors
and offices have to build first in the US for this and not only tax incentives
have to be created, but bank loan and bank advantages have to be implemented. I think
you're not fully understanding him. The price of the dollar goes up on the global
market in the end, making foreign goods cheaper in the end while still getting tariff money.
I do not foresee the price of goods immediately coming down or even staying relatively stable
while, and then maybe in the long term, creating a big boon in manufacturing, especially
because in the short term, this will literally lead, this will literally lead to layoffs
like mass layoffs in general. The chatter is wrong with the US dollar increase in value.
That means our exports are going to go up in price and the trade deficit will not close.
The US also relies on non-substitutable goods abroad. Yeah. If you have, like when it comes
to raw materials, like there is no substitute, what are you supposed to do? You know what
I mean? If you just don't have it here, what are you supposed to do? He's not
doing any carve outs whatsoever. Maybe he will down the line and I don't understand
it, or maybe he's signaling that he might do that, but he hasn't said anything about
it.
It's just like, doesn't make sense, Commerce Secretary, Lutnik, Trump may roll back Canada
and Mexico, I'm done.
That's, I mean, what are we doing here?
What are we doing here?
Why am I doing this?
Why?
Why are we doing this?
the hell is going on? What a goddamn clown show. Okay, I'm done. I'm officially placing
Trump in the unique position that I've only placed one other global leader on, the Vladimir
Putin insanity position, okay? That's it. I'm done looking for, I'm done looking for
reason behind his actions. I'm lying. I will always still try to find a logical reason
and why he's doing the things that he's doing,
even if I disagree with it, but God damn,
it's just like, it doesn't, April fools as tariffs.
The goal isn't entirely to bring manufacturing back
to America when the Canadian Looney goes down and worth
and the American dollar gains value.
America can then purchase the same Canadian products,
lumber, et cetera, at a lower price
since the American dollar is stronger.
One day, just like your suspension, yeah.
Donald Trump pulled the classic
How's it not be bait and switch?
I think in terms of what he wants, and I heard he, uh,
talked about banking again this morning, uh, in, in a tweet, uh,
which doesn't make any sense. Cause American banks has put 16 American
banks currently active in Canada,
holding about $113 billion worth of assets in this country.
So the American banks are alive and well and prospering in Canada.
Um,
It's an example of not really being able to see what it is that he wants, because even
the excuse that he's giving for these tariffs today of fentanyl is completely bogus, completely
unjustified, completely false.
So we actually have to fold back on the one thing he has said repeatedly that what he
wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it
easier to annex us. Now, first of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the
same.
That's a crazy thing to be discussing as a world leader, by the way. The fact that your
southern neighbor is led by an insane person, okay? The fact that you are a leader of
sovereign nation and your southern neighbors are led by a madman that you have to factor in,
you have to factor in that he might be simply trying to weaken the Canadian economy and then
make it easier to annex. Wild stuff, man. 51st state. But yeah, he can do damage to the
Canadian economy and he's started this morning, but he is rapidly going to find out as American
families are going to find out that that's gonna hurt people on both welcome to Eastern Europe
yeah and yeah we're probably he's doing the united socialist states of
America okay he's doing the united soviet states of america
USA. You just add one more S, dude. It's over. Canada is, it's not Balkanizing. We're, we're,
we're turning it into a USA, Yugoslavia, the glorious Yugoslavia, a vacation of North
America, the North American continent.
We're going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans we're
They're not booing similar to what similar to Ukraine worrying about Russia.
Look, I'm not making prediction.
Like I said, I've learned my lesson from the past.
Okay.
Donald Trump is a mad man.
I'm not, I'm not making predictions about Donald Trump.
Just like I don't make predictions about Vladipu, okay.
They sometimes do some insane stuff.
Okay.
engage in insanity. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what the logical through line is.
You, we're not booing your teams. We're not booing your players. We're booing a policy
that is designed to hurt us. We're insulted and we're angry, but we're Canadian,
which means we're going to stand up for each other. We're going to fight and we're going
gonna win. So, Harris, let's get to this really quick.
Trump is Governor Trudeau on notice for criticizing tariffs. Yeah, please explain it. Governor
Trudeau, Canada, governor. He calls him Governor Trudeau because he's saying like it's a part
of the American empire now that when he puts on a retiretary tariff in the US, our reciprocal
terrible immediately increase by a like amount. US Commerce Secretary says the tariffs
on Canada are just getting started. But here, here's also Howard Ludnick talking about Mexicans
and Canadians. They're, let's take a look at today. Angry that Americans are still being
killed. Now, both the Mexican, the fentanyl stuff is ridiculous. By the way, it is like
the stupidest way to package it. It is straightforwardly the dumbest way to try and package this
to be like, Oh yeah, we're doing this for, we're doing this for fentanyl.
The Canadians were on the phone with me all day today, trying to show that they'll do better,
and the President's listening because you know he's very, very fair and very reasonable,
so I think he's going to work something out with them.
It's not going to be a pause, none of that pause stuff, but I think he's going to figure
out you do more and I'll meet you in the middle some way, and we're going to probably
be announcing that tomorrow.
So somewhere in the middle will likely be the outcome, the President moving with
the Canadians and Mexicans, but not all the way.
He's going to come out today angry that Americans are still being killed.
Now both the Mexicans and the Canadians were on the phone with me all day today trying
to show that they'll do better and the president's listening because you know he's very, very
fair and very reasonable.
So I think he's going to work something out with them.
It's not going to be a pause, not that pause stuff, but I think he's going to figure
out you do more and I'll meet you in the middle some way and we're going to probably
be announcing that tomorrow.
So somewhere in the middle will likely be the outcome, the president moving with the
Canadians and Mexicans, but not all the way.
Just to clarify, he's going to come out today angry that Americans are still being killed.
Now both the Mexicans and the Canadians were on the phone with me all day today, trying
to show that they'll do better, and the president's listening, because you know he's
very, very fair and very reasonable, so I think he's going to work something
out with them.
gonna be a pause now that pause stuff me but I think he's going to figure out you do more sorry
okay this is what Hassan should be paying for okay I didn't realize it was only 30 seconds long
is there a way that we could do an anomaly this past relations I'm kind of recall nope
how would the terrace even affect the traffic and fentanyl no it's just like
Like, it is an incredibly silly legal justification for why Trump is engaging in these retaliatory
tariffs.
He can't just be like, I'm just going to tariff you because I want to cripple your economy
or I'm just going to tariff you for this or that reason.
So he has to come up with a reason for why he's doing this.
And in his mind, the best way to package this is by talking about issues that he talked
about throughout the election, which is fentanyl deaths.
Okay.
He has no legal power to do it without declaring an emergency on FENT.
Okay.
Well, let's continue with this.
But President Trump just responding to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau writing this
on true social quote, please explain to Governor Trudeau of Canada that when he
puts on a retaliatory tariff on the U.S., a reciprocal tariff, will immediately crease
by a like amount.
Harris, the fight began on your show, it's reloaded, it doesn't seem like Trump's backing
down.
Look, I mean, he's not President Trump.
He is the prime minister of a neighboring country on its way out, on his way out.
And I don't think he gamed out the things that he said and the effect that it could
potentially have on the Canadian people.
He made a selfish move today, and he called the president of the United States dumb.
So look, or his actions dumb, it effectively is the same thing the way he put it.
So look, I mean, this is not going to lift Canada's position at all, and it just makes
the art of the deal much more difficult for Trudeau on behalf of his country.
And he's running out of time.
So we're dealing with him now in 30 days, the process, or less than 30 days by
at the end of this month, begins to replace him
for his exit announcement about a month and a half ago.
So then we're gonna be dealing with somebody else.
I mean, if he really wants, he has nothing to lose.
I put this out there, but I think,
you know, he's legacy leadership in that country.
He is marring the name Trudeau for times to come.
He needs to Zelensky this, either get on your ex,
pick up the phone and say, look, here's what I meant
and clean it up on aisle seven.
We'll see if it happens.
You know, and Sandra, as we think about this, you know, I just think back to first term and
some of the headlines like, Politico, Trump drops tariff threat on Mexico after a migration
deal is reached.
And we remember the USMCA, the impetus for that was a tariff threat, and you end up
getting this trade deal.
So a lot of times with Trump, he's taking these moves, he's making these moves, and
you wonder if it's pursuant to something that comes on the horizon, but you have
to have another leader on the other side willing to concede.
And with Trudeau, he doesn't have a lot to lose on his way out the door.
Well, remember, he's ginned up a lot of support for this by saying, we're not going to be
taking advantage of it anymore.
And if he sticks to that message, he'll continue to get support for this.
This is obviously playing out in a very public way.
I was just taking a peek at the markets to see if there is a reaction to the president's
response.
And if anything, the markets have come off of their lows.
Oh, look at that.
I, I give all glory to Jusha, okay, all the time to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
So please do not misunderstand me when I say this. But this is like, this is literally the
old Korean lady on television, okay? This is crazy. I mean, someone's got to have that
Dear leader link. I mean, come on. Does the market price in radicalizing your northern neighbors to load you?
No, it does kind of feel it does kind of feel like they're doing the
Do you just send me a rush of today like that's crazy. That's crazy chatter
There's no other link that has uh has has actually
no other outlet
Talking about Claudia, Claudia's statements. Are you trying to get me clapped? Well, what the hell?
Are you trying to get me destroyed again by Libs? Libs are gonna be like, there it is.
Yeah, this is, this is Fox News.
That's my goat. I love her. Okay. I love her. She's amazing.
Right. So, um, I mean, this is fascinating to see this play out in such a public way. Um,
how does Esther see this uncertainty? You know, I don't think you can look at the market and
and just say that it's saying it doesn't like the tariffs or it loves the tariffs because
the market's up one day or down one day.
Just uncertainty investors cannot stand.
And so markets will go down if they don't know what's happening next.
And perhaps that's what we're seeing right now.
Some certainty maybe Canada will call.
Yeah, maybe.
Well, Mr. Chauvin is, no, no, I actually like her.
I don't like these people, but I like her.
She deserves the new flat that she got, that was gifted to her by Kim Jong-un, okay?
We'll all wait with faded breath to see what happens next.
This is all playing out right now.
To be fair, they granted Biden the same amount of charity?
No, that's not true.
I mean, they did on certain issues, like when they talked about how brilliant he
was and how he wasn't actually mentally decrepit.
But bro, there is no comparison here.
Fox News of Donald Trump versus CNN to Joe Biden is crazy. They actively lie to the American public
about his mental faculties. That much is true. But when Joe Biden would do stuff, they would
absolutely laser him in the off chance that he actually did anything really,
like pulling out of Afghanistan. Do you not remember? They constantly also harped on him
for not being right-wing enough. They constantly harped on him for not being right-wing enough
in terms of the migrant crisis at the border. They actively hammered him.
Rather dramatically ahead of tonight's joint address to Congress.
Yeah, that's going to be 6 p.m. Doug Ford warns Trump he will cut off energy to the U.S. with
a smile on my face if it comes to it. Okay? They're nervous because of President Trump.
We have to make sure, you have two choices here folks.
We roll over as a country and just let them run over us.
Or we fight like hell, like with number four before,
I'm taking option two. I'm fighting like hell and we're going to
protect Canada. He's underestimating the Canadian
people, the resilience of the Canadian people, and the strength of the
Canadian people. I said number one, I don't start a
terror war, but we're going to win this
right off the hook. I've directed the LCBO, we're the largest purchaser of alcohol in the world to remove every bit of U.S. alcohol off the shelves. I know my good friend, the governor of Kentucky, he's losing his mind right now. I said you better talk to your president. Mitch McConnell, senior senator from Kentucky, they're losing their mind. We purchase over a billion dollars of alcohol, 3,600 products.
it's going to hit them.
We would call them the kitchen table issues.
Then we're going to cancel starlings right away from Elon Musk.
Not that $100 million makes a difference for them, but it's principal.
I've directed the procurement of over $30 billion of goods.
Not to go to the U.S. to make sure we buy Ontario first.
And if we can't find it in Ontario and we can't build it in Ontario,
we go across the country.
in Ontario, we go across the country. All right. And our retaliation is going to be surgically
targeted to create the maximum pressure on the White House to stop what the Wall Street Journal
has described quite rightly as the dumbest. Dude, if Canada does a BDS on America,
up. It would be so awesome. I mean, look, more power to you guys. Okay. More power to you.
Okay. Developing resentment towards America KKK in this way. Perhaps it should have happened
for a million different reasons and for better ones, but I'll take it where I can get it.
Canadians, I am with you. Well, let your chat know that Doug Ford is a monster calling
in bases gross. Yeah, for sure. This is also making the worst people in Canadian politics
look good too, especially in the eyes of Canadians in general.
Trade war in history. An example of a measure that I would-
Just don't boycott me, okay? I'm a anti-imperialist, anti-American content creator. So please
don't, please keep building a carve out for your BDS Canadian Hassanabi heads and
please keep subscribing with your Canadian dollars even if it's not at the top of the hour, okay?
What you can do for I think what is like six, seven Canadian dollars
or for free with a Twitch Prime, you can still use your Twitch Prime to subscribe,
especially if you couldn't resubscribe yesterday because I got banned for those of you who don't
know. So it's eight CAD. Okay. Eight dollars CAD. Don't worry. You're an honorary member
of the Quebec Libre movement. We got you. I am. I am. This is true. Canuck books. Yeah.
Like this, this is actually correct. Here's the other thing. Where is it? Doug Ford just
won another election. I think it was a large part due to his response to the tariffs.
We will continue to, he will continue to dismantle healthcare in Ontario, exactly.
So Trump's idiotic actions against Canada has unironically made people like Doug Ford
look better.
And now, with that popularity, with that popular mandate, Doug Ford will continue to undermine
social services in Ontario.
So what is this?
Got a new contract while he was banned?
Unbelievable.
I did not get a new contract.
I am not running as I was kidding.
Subscribing.
Um, which you don't have to do it, but if you want to, you can subscribe.
You can send me links if you subscribe and clip stuff.
You get some, you get some amenities.
What squeaks at some choice words for your video.
What is this?
I've probably been banned.
He's on so cool.
He sounds like a vibrator.
I
That's crazy
She's crazy, what's up, everyone you're seeing this
That's crazy, I'll take it much better than
excuse
Snake dude
Ex you called out twitch for unbending house. I've only have one day after suspending him
just comical did the water job did he said snake excuse snake you're the snake
baby did why are you surrounded by bags that was real come on dude look at the
industry like yes twitch streaming is look there are a lot of wonderful people
that I've met in this career. Okay. And then there are a lot of people who have absolutely
abused my charitable nature over and over again. It's not surprising if you've been following
any of the ecstasy drama between me and him for the past couple of years, I think you
know where he stands on all these issues. He is actively trying to win back people
now and more power to him, but he's always going to farm me. The quicker you understand
that a lot of people have direct financial incentives and that's the only thing they
care about and nothing else, the easier you will make sense of how people operate in
this industry is just the truth. You should farm him to be honest. I don't give a shit.
already rich. What do you mean? I know he is. And in the process, he shed a lot of the, he basically
forced a lot of people, forced a lot of people's hands into, into just like shutting him out.
He'll, he'll still be able to collaborate with many other people. He is a massive audience. And
eventually if he's like even a little bit nice to them, that a lot of content creators will
return and collaborate with him and stuff like that. But, but yeah, I mean, he's talked about
how lonely he feels and how shitty this industry is without recognizing that it's because he treated
everybody like shit. There is virtually no other way to describe this, okay? That's it.
He has actively treated every single content creator in his orbit like shit.
No matter how nice people have been to him if you smell dog poop everywhere you go
You wake up and you smell shit go to the coffee shop you smell shit
Maybe
Maybe it's not everywhere else. That's most like shit. Maybe you are the one who stepped in the shit
Or maybe you are the piece of shit and it's not just a to see a lot of content creators of major egos myself included
You know you it's understandable. It is what it is. Let's get back to the
Where was it? Let's get back to the tariff 100%
Tariffs on Tesla's Canadian Prime Minister candidate reveals tariff response plans against the United States
I was considering writing a piece based on why so many people attack you over other left-wing voices online
The far right is a term for the jockeying that happens in spaces that are before politics
but which create the cultural narratives that far right use to convert people. Metapolitics.
You exist in gaming and anime spaces. The left winger and someone who completely debunks
all the stereotypes the right likes to use to discredit the left is why you get so much
heat. Yeah, it's also why I have also retained a relatively sizable audience in spite of
all of that. And I think that really pisses people off. That's what it is. That frustrates
a lot of people where they're like, why is nobody why, why do people still subscribe
to him. Why do people still support this guy? He's bad. Look at all of these, look at all
of my friends that say he's bad. Do you still think, do you think you still attract new audiences
considering the hate train you get? Yeah. I think the, the hate train is, is so overwhelming
and so consistent that I think a lot of people go, I'm going to look, I'm going to look
into this myself. There are plenty of people who come in here and they're like, okay,
maybe I was a little misguided about the way that people presented you.
And I think that funnels in new people all the time. Because like, I've seen this quite a bit,
especially with like the Ethan Klein stuff, where Ethan is not exactly a popular content creator
either. He's been around for quite a long time. And a lot of people have made up their minds on
him. And some people like him a lot and a lot of people also despise him online. Some of the
reasons why a lot of people despise him online are ridiculous reasons and bad reasons. And there's
also good reasons for why people are angry at him as well. And in that process, when he just
like engages in an extensive, extensive crash out, people go, okay, well, his insanity caused
me to go and take a look, you know, because you can't maintain a reasonable approach if
you're so, if you're actively just like going everything and anything that this person does
is wrong and I'm going to assume the exact opposite, the exact opposite position people
just gonna be like all right well you know maybe i'll make up my mind on my own
my goat claudia i wish i wish mexico and an ex
I wish Mexico and annex America so that we could be under the protectorate of Claudia Scheinbaum.
It is by no means our purpose to start an economic or trade confrontation.
I love her.
Which unfortunately and regrettably is the opposite of what we should be doing.
That is integrating our economies more to strengthen our region.
Nobody wins with this decision.
On the contrary, it affects the people we represent.
To the Mexican women and men, ooh, she's woke, she said women first.
I remind you that we have based the growth for the last six years on the strengthening
of the domestic market, the creation of jobs through public investment, and the
increase in minimum wage and welfare programs. Amazing. Also, retaliatory tariffs are coming
in from China as well. I'm an example of making up my mind on my own. I feel like the hate
of song is pretty unfair. Do I agree with everything Assange says? No, but I also don't understand
the level of hate that is directed this way. It's parasocial. That's what it is. A lot of
A lot of people have parasocial desires to do right by their favorite content creators.
And when their favorite content creators are actively making money constantly and consistently
saying I'm the worst person on the planet, on the, on the face of the planet every single
day, they start believing them.
I don't even fault those people to be honest.
I genuinely don't fault those people because most people are busy.
They got jobs.
don't have time to come in and tune in and make up their own minds about a
content creator. It just kind of like washes away and they just developed that
resentment without really considering it because the content creator that they
trust is actively poisoning the well. The people however that do actually
follow through on the brigading and you know consistently freaking out over
this kind of thing. That's a little different. Like that, that is, you know, how are you,
how are you engaging in what you consider to be a righteous battle for a random content creator?
My guy, you also say some really dumb shit sometimes. Yeah. Well, again, I'm a, I'm a
Twitch trimmer. Of course I say dumb shit from time to time, perhaps even all the time.
Like, what do you mean? Who doesn't say dumb shit? Do you not say dumb shit on a day to
day basis, the only difference is you're not standing in front of 50,000 people and you
don't have active people trying to clip that and immediately be like, see, this is bad.
And also, you know, weaponizing their misunderstanding, the dumb shit they're referring to as, alright,
as that would be a beautiful future. Let me tell you, yeah, so many people you meet
or collab IRL say that they assumed you were mean based on all the clip chimps out
of you out there. Yep. Let's continue. Let's see what the Chinese retaliatory terrorist
look like.
China, let's get to China as that country does retaliate against these tariffs. Our
Eunice Yun is in Beijing with the latest. Hi Eunice.
Hey Carl, well the Chinese government as you guys had mentioned had threatened all necessary
measures, countermeasures when it comes to their reaction. But this batch actually
was relatively limited.
Minutes after President Trump's tariffs had kicked in, China announced tariffs on the agricultural
sector for the main part.
This was 10 to 15 percent tariffs on imports of soybeans, sorghum, beef, fruits, chicken,
corn, cotton, wheat.
Some of the, in one case or in some of the cases, China is the biggest buyer of these
products, such as soybeans and cotton.
During President Trump's first trade war, China had also targeted agricultural products
and at that time it was really seen as a political calculation that China would want to target
a President Trump's political base.
Now this time the Chinese also imposed various business restrictions on more than 25 companies.
Ten of them were added to an unreliable entity list, so their blacklist did 15
added to export control list.
A lot of these firms were, for the most part, in the defense industry, don't have a whole
lot of business in China, any at all. Yeah. I mean, it's not like, it's not like America's letting
China purchase American weapons anyway, right? And had already been sanctioned by Beijing.
The one interesting company was among all of these was Illumina. This was the company that
had been blacklisted in February after President Trump's February tariffs had kicked in.
that company has now been banned from importing its gene sequencer machines. And China does
account for 7% of Illumina's sales. That was the most high-profile corporate among the group.
So it does give you a sense that we're seeing a lot of action, a lot of noise with these
measures, but no household names. Unis, our Commerce Secretary was on a few moments ago,
really emphasizing the element about fentanyl and the journal piece today
reads, Chinese officials have said in recent weeks that US tariffs make them
less likely to help solve the fentanyl problem. Is that true?
Well for President Xi Jinping he is not going to be like the Canadian or
Mexican leaders not going to be seen as somebody who would pick up the phone
and try to work something out with with President Trump and be seen as
as kind of bending the knee to President Trump
to the Chinese public.
So President Xi would probably go to Trump
to on his own terms.
And that is really important for the Chinese leadership
to make sure that their public knows that
or at least believes that President Xi is in control.
Unis, when it comes to some of these agricultural products
chicken, wheat, corn, cotton, you know, 15% tariffs.
Are there other places that Chinese
are going to be able to go
to find those kinds of agricultural products
at a lesser price, do you know?
Yeah, definitely, they've been doing this,
they've been diversifying since 2018.
So they've been moving to looking at Brazil
for the most part for, say, corn,
they've been trying to reduce a lot of their alliance
on the U.S. when it comes to these agricultural products,
and that's expected to continue,
especially in this climate.
Now, Eunice, I also remember,
I'm sure we had conversation around this at the time
when we reached, under the last Trump administration,
there was a deal reached with China in some way
that involved them buying a lot of agricultural products.
I don't remember the exact target number,
but I don't believe it was ever met.
Right, and that has been one of the sticking points
that the Trump administration,
as well as a lot of other folks in the U.S.
have said about that 2020 trade deal,
the phase one trade deal.
There's been some discussion though, ironically here,
that the Chinese will want to return
to that 2020 phase one trade deal,
that they would agree to buy a lot of U.S. products,
not only agricultural products, but from their perspective,
a lot of high tech products,
and that's something necessarily
that the U.S. would want to see.
But there is this belief that the Chinese leadership does prefer going back to that kind of grander economic deal.
Yep.
I saw you on Trash Taste, I thought you were a pretty cool guy.
I saw the Hayden decided to come check you out.
Well, make no mistake, Chatter.
This is a very scary and very dangerous community.
Very, very scary.
The things that we talk about in here. It's also weird though, because like
virtually every single person that spends an insane amount of time
Actively saying how bad I am end up making a fool of themselves in the process. I don't know why
Spooky scary
I'm a bad boy. I used to be a hate watcher now after a while of being here. I still hate watch except now
I hate watch hogs through you nice
We're going to get to the second thing that the Trump administration did in my absence,
which is, of course, cutting weapons supplies to Ukraine.
It turns out that the American government, shockingly, is capable of stopping weapons
transfers to a foreign nation.
I'm shocked to find out because I've been covering this, you know, Israel stuff for
worked quite a while and I never knew that that was a reality for the American government.
I thought that there was just nothing that could potentially stop the flow of weapons
to a foreign nation. Of course, we're doing that to a country that is, you know, defending
itself from a Russian invasion and not necessarily a country that is doing ethnic
cleansing of Palestinians. But before we get to all of that, let's watch the Trump supporters
walking away from CNN interview when pressed about Musk's actions, because I do want to
see the hogs here. This is quite literally, uh, hogs going hog wild.
You know somebody smarter than Elon Musk. You can be smart and immoral. You can be smart
and make bad decisions.
You are 100% right about that.
There's no doubt about that.
It does not get me false.
I'm 100% team Musk.
Josh Eben Kirkland is one of the people we spoke to
at a hob show in Mayhunter, Georgia.
We first came to Brantley County right before the election
because it was the most pro-Trump County
in a swing state in 2020.
People had had a strong emotional connection
to President Trump.
And they thought Trump was for them instead of the elites.
So we wanted to see what they made
of billionaire Elon Musk.
There's a lot of if-hands and buts about Musk
and he's a brilliant man himself.
I think a lot of people are scared
that the two of them have teamed up.
Last time we were here, Captain.
I loved it.
I mean, this is straight up my favorite thing.
As you guys know, people who sell Trump merch,
like their entire lives revolve around
getting products from China and drop shipping products
from China and just like selling it
to dumb American hogs.
It's awesome.
At the Hendricks sold Trump merch in a corner of her boutique.
Yeah. People who will perhaps suffer the most.
People who will perhaps suffer the most from tariffs on China.
I sold out of everything. I sold out of all my Trump stuff.
I have sold the daddy's home.
Why do people like that? Calling Trump daddy.
There is a security in daddy. Mama is the one that runs everything.
is the one that does everything, but there is a security in daddy. When daddy wraps his arms
around you, you feel like the whole world is just, you're safe. And this is pure sexual pathology.
Straight up. Amazing. Fantastic. Okay, this is, I mean, it's not interesting. This is at the
heart of a lot of the reception for Trump. That is what it is. So
much. When did hogwash become goonwash bro? Listen, he gets
the debbers and the barbers quaking. Okay, that Barbussy is
quaking. Everything is, everything's gonna be okay.
And that's the way they mean it. And that's the way they
mean it. Because you know, on the internet, at least,
Sometimes it has like a sexual meaning.
Oh, Lord.
So what do you think of the job he's done so far?
It's like Christmas morning every single day.
Ha ha ha ha!
Egg prices are $35 a carton.
Let me tell you, Christmas morning.
What has he done
that has noticeably improved your life
in a meaningful fashion in the past 30 plus days that he's been in office, almost 44,
44 days that he's been in office. What has he done? It's so great made them come. Yeah.
I guess Hendrix introduced us to Candice Taylor, who declared she's running for Congress that
very day on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast. I wanted to announce with you, you are
I mean, this is, the accent is off, but this is kingdom come ass bullshit, okay?
Our heavenly father is anointed the lordship, in the position of absolute authority, my lord,
my liege, my life for you, my liege, I do not need the bounty of your life, I do not
need the bounty of your life, I do not need the bounty of your life, I do not need
the bounties of the I do not need access to the common good nor do I need the eggs that my chickens
lay it's all for you my lordship the dollars I have this budget and my family has to tighten our
belt and not go on vacation because of it I'm down with that oh wait oh my god she literally did
That was it. I was joking Trump. So if Elon Musk wants to cut trillions of dollars out of this budget
And if my family has to tighten our belt and not go on vacation because of it. I'm down with that
Why what the hell bro? Oh my god. Oh my it's so good. It's amazing. Yeah. No, I don't I don't need goods
It's for a greater cause
So you
welcome
some personal financial hardship if you think in the long run it will help. Yeah, I've already
experienced it. Under Biden, with inflation, I mean, were you happy to pay the higher prices
or did you think that was a failing of his presidency? It was a tremendous failing.
All right, how long are you willing to wait for the economic?
I'm sorry. How do you know? What? You don't understand what's going on here?
Here, you just said the economic hardships are fine, because the God, our heavenly father
anointed Donald Trump to be president.
The economic hardships of Biden was a tremendous failure.
Like in the same, what, how?
Like, do you not have any self preservation skills?
Like I don't understand how these people don't realize that like they look like absolute
dumbasses. It's just, you look, you sound like you're in a cult. I mean, you are in a cult.
It is a cult. This is cultish thinking. Was Biden anointed by God? No. That's right. Didn't think
so. True. Fair. Facts. You're right.
Now it changes your herpency for the prices to come down.
Oh, I'm good. If President Trump wants to run in 2028.
In 2022, Taylor ran in the Republican primary for governor with a Jesus Gunn's
baby slogan and lost.
But why run for Congress if some billionaire can just undo whatever budget you pass whenever
laws are passed?
Oh, he's not undoing everything.
He's dealing with stuff that's frivolous.
Most people we spoke to were enthusiastic about Musk.
We did meet three people who had some concerns about the firing of federal workers, but
the only one who wanted to say so on camera was Corbett Wilson.
One of the rare Trump skeptics we found the last time we visited.
Prices of groceries, egg prices haven't gone down since Trump took office.
Give him a little bit of time.
When you come back in a year or two years, let's look at the halfway point because we
all know everything takes time.
Well, he promised it on the first day.
He promises to take space.
And anybody that believed that's crazy.
He also said that it would probably be a little more painful to start with, but
it would get better.
We got to get everybody's right on that.
You talking about a contractor?
I think in some respects liberals have tainted, in their own base of support, they've tainted
like populism as an effective communication tool so much.
And they just actively undermine people that could actually reach these guys so much.
like Bernie Sanders that they've made way for someone like Donald Trump to come in and basically
brainwash these people. I mean, there's a lot of internalized resentment there that plays
a role as well, like, cuz Trump is playing on a lot of the things that they care about.
A lot of things that television has told them they should be afraid of, right? I'm just,
I guess my point is I'm jealous. I'm jealous that economic hardships in the short term
are likely for anyone that changes the trajectory of American empire or changes the trajectory
of the American economy, right? Make no mistake.
I think that if there was some kind of communist Trump, for example, a laughable notion for
many different reasons, I'm not going to get into it right now, but if there was
a situation like that, like I'm sure that there would be some economic struggle in the interim
when you're, you know, breaking the system only to rebuild it. But the reality of the matter is
no one would entertain this, like no one would ever entertain this, even sidestepping away
from the way things work by a liberal administration, by like 1%, by a tiny sliver margin
and would cause people to, you know, do riots in America.
Okay, these people are the same people that lost their minds when, ironically enough, Donald
Trump was the one who told them that they can't get haircuts.
Donald Trump immediately turned around and said, okay, it's up to the states.
I mean, he buckled.
He caved.
He did not care about the the preservation of American health. I
I don't know I can't help but feel I can't help but feel jealous that Trump has
this level of of brainwashing capabilities on these kinds of Americans
who support him. Or even if he does things that Americans truly care about
which is like cost of goods.
They're still like, no, no, it's gonna be better.
It's gonna get better.
Jealous? Yes, I am.
I am jealous.
He loves a contractor too.
Who looks in the hand?
There needs to be somebody?
Nobody questions his bills.
Do you trust Elon Musk?
He's a government contractor.
He's got business interests,
whether in defense, internet, that kind of thing.
He's also admitted to drug use.
Smoked pot on the Joe Rogan show.
Do you trust him as like a stable, rational,
and reasonable person to be doing this job?
Yes.
Hey, he's a Republican.
You ain't gonna help him out with that.
There's pot heads all over this country.
Y'all sitting here trying to back down
90% of this country, Republican or Democrat,
call it this old dab gum, tell Smoked Pot.
No, that doesn't.
The conversation devolved quickly.
I mean he looks like the perfect guy to say dad gum unlike that one sitting us
represented we were talking about anticipated the emotional connection we
already felt with my
woman he said on TV and smoke pot
well I haven't I look here I'm saying it don't matter
that that makes him unqualified to do a job
I mean she's coming in here with ignorant arguments
I can prove you a Democrat by the level of rigidity that you portray, but you show it.
Donald Trump, Elon Musk, please drain the swamp while you there, get the job done.
In cult psychology, this is referred to as a thought terminating term, okay?
Get her done, get the job done, drain the swamp.
It's over.
over at that point. Okay? He just hit the line and he's moving on. He does not like
the contradictions that have been exposed. He's double-fisting the soda, which I love,
okay, respect to this big boy. Normalize not being jealous of sociopaths' law. Dude,
I don't care what the mental faculties of a person are if they're bringing healthcare,
you know, if they're bringing Medicare for all to the table. I just, I don't care.
Yeah, I'd rather have a sociopathic pro medicare for all candidate who was able to in the most
charismatic ways possible to whip up support for it.
I, I can't stress this enough.
You know what I mean?
Pretty sure one's a spit cup.
That's right.
That's right, baby, because he's brave, bold, and a God dang patriot.
All right.
Let's talk about Zelensky.
Okay.
As I said earlier, it turns out that the American government does have the capability of stopping the flow of weapons to a foreign nation.
You might have been confused by this. You might have been shocked by this if you were watching anything happening with Israel.
It seems like we have an inability to stop the flow of weapons to a country that is offensively committing a genocide.
We certainly do have the capabilities of stopping the flow of weapons to a country that is defending
itself from a foreign nation.
So let's take a look as Donald Trump has said yesterday that he is going to stop the
weapons flow into Ukraine.
Here is the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky saying what Ukraine will do next
without USAID.
Dear Ukrainians and Ukrainians, today many people have the same question.
What will happen next with US assistance?
I have instructed Ukraine's Minister of Defense, the heads of our intelligence agencies and
our diplomats to contact their counterparts in the United States.
Are you going to stay on until the State of the Union tonight?
It's at 6 p.m.
So yes, the answer is yes.
I will be live and alive during the State of the Union.
It's not an official State of the Union, by the way, to contact their counterparts
in the United States and to obtain official information, people should not have to guess.
Ukraine and America deserve a respectful dialogue and a clear position from one another,
especially when it comes to protecting lives during a full-scale war.
Of course, in Ukraine, we have been receiving various signals for weeks now, and there
has already been a precedent for aid being halted.
There was a suspension of humanitarian aid, of energy aid.
There was also a halt in military aid at the end of January.
But at that time, everything was quickly resumed.
We saw the risks.
Therefore, our agencies, both military and special services,
managed to develop action algorithms
for any developments in the situation.
This is not 2022 anymore.
Our resilience is stronger now.
We have the means to defend ourselves.
But for us maintaining normal partnership-based relations with America is essential to bringing
the war to a real end.
No one wants an endless war.
Ukraine will always be grateful to the US for all the support that has been and is
being provided, which is working to preserve the now rather fragile foundations of security
in Europe.
After all, this is not just about our country.
It is about everyone in Europe.
We seek constructive cooperation, partnership-based relations.
We can only regret what happened at the White House instead of our negotiations.
But we must find the strength to move forward, to respect one another, just as we have always
respected America, Europe, and all of our partners, and to do everything together to
bring peace closer.
And thank everyone who is supporting Ukraine in this effort.
Today I have spoken with the President of Finland, what, yeah, the Trump Party claimed
that they got the deal, I know.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Prime Minister of Greece, Prime Minister of
Croatia, and NATO Secretary General and the leader of the German CDU Party, Frederic
Mertz, the very party that won the recent Bundestag elections.
support for Ukraine. Thank you about significant funds. And then he just talks about Ukraine
deserve respect here. He says that there's consultations. Ukrainians deserve peace.
Ukrainians deserve respect. Their positions are demands regarding Ukraine. We know the
Russians have not changed their positions or demands regarding Ukraine. They will insist
on reducing our army they will seek a legal renunciation of our territory as well as a
significant political deformation of Ukraine with the weakening of the Ukrainian constitution.
Okay, I can't read the rest of that. So, is it possible to try to leave NATO? Liberals,
I know, seem to believe not. I don't think so either, but who knows, man? He is pretty spicy.
Well, why am I seeing some of my left defense talking about how the peace talks are actually
good and that everyone against them are war monitors. I mean, peace talks are actually
good. I am one of those leftists as well. I think that peace talks are good. I've been
an advocate for peace talks and an advocate to bring Vladimir Putin to the table. The
problem with Donald Trump is that he's bringing Vladimir Putin to the table in the worst
possible ways while undermining Ukraine and the Ukrainian position. Ukraine has
understandable demands in this negotiations process. Okay. What do you mean? We have used and abused
Ukrainians as we've given them our older weapons and basically told them, you know,
you're kind of on your own there. All right, go off. Defend your nation from being invaded.
Doesn't Zelensky support Israel? Yes, of course he does. He is, uh, he also has been groveling for
American support for, uh, while also still trying to maintain some semblance of dignity at the same
time. But like, obviously he's still going to do what big dog tells him to do. And you need to,
you need to understand something. You know, his support for Israel might be
because he truly loves Israel. His support for Israel might also most likely be because
because he obviously can't say anything about Israel. Israel, alongside the United States
of America and Russia, voted not to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine a couple of weeks
ago. He has no choice in this process. Zelensky has no choice in this process. Okay? He does
not. Trump's foreign policy of neo-imperialism is very dangerous, but Dems and Central Salise,
the Atlantic crowd are doing a very good job of explaining why, because they're obsessed
with the discredited narratives, Putin's puppet and NATO fetish, actually explaining
how neo-imperialism will lead to more wars would be better.
Jason Paunton, I'm really not enjoying the latest iteration of jeet here as a more literate
version of Glyn Greenwald, far more animated by opposition.
The forces of reaction wouldn't be winning if it weren't for the incompetence and intellectual
myopia of centrist elites.
We have to solve the centrist problem to have a fighting chance against fascism.
I agree.
Zelensky supporting Israel is like complaining that Gaza doesn't have gay rights law? Eh, not entirely.
Because one is a defense of an apartheid genocide, an apartheid state doing a genocide with American
weapons that unironically ends up harming the Ukrainian position. And the other is a group of
people that have been captive by a belligerent occupier being genocided. Like Ukraine is
still at the end of the day a sovereign nation, you know? No. A better comparison would be like
saying Ukrainians don't have gay rights either, so they're not woke. I don't care about that.
Do you see what I'm saying? Like, oh, Ukraine is not woke about gay and trans people either,
is an incredibly stupid argument to bring forward in terms of like defending Ukraine.
For more than 24 hours after Donald Trump abruptly paused all U.S. military aid to Ukraine,
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling his Oval Office spat with the president
regrettable.
In a new post on X, he reiterates Ukraine's commitment to peace.
Yeah, I mean, he's like, he's like slowly walking him back.
Writing quote, none of us wants an endless war.
He adds that Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table.
And although Zelensky doesn't use the post to directly apologize to Trump, as some White
House officials have argued he should do, he did express his gratitude for U.S. support,
something he has done frequently, including during an address to Congress the first time
he visited the United States as president of Ukraine after Russia invaded the country.
White House officials say the pause in aid will stand until President Trump determines
Zelensky is serious about working out a peace plan and a path to end the war
with Russia.
the United States, especially its
Patriot missile defense system
could have dire consequences for Ukraine.
The Prime Minister of Ukraine says it's the
only tool the country has to protect itself
from Russian ballistic missiles.
Joining us now to discuss is retired U.S.
Army Major Mike Lyons.
Sir, thank you so much for being with us.
Right off the bat, what is the effect of this
pause in U.S.
save to Ukraine on the battlefield?
Well, Boris, I don't see any.
I'm confused what this is going to
I'm confused. What does Zelensky have to apologize for? Okay. Let me explain this one more time
because there's a lot of new people in here. Okay. What the truth is, is on an entirely
different zip code, if not an entirely different planet, then what must happen for Trump?
Okay? Zelensky can't do anything. Donald Trump has made up his mind. He thinks Zelensky is
bad, he's a liberal, he's annoying. And because Donald Trump and the American government holds
all the cards, okay? They can basically keep humiliating him and bullying him in broad daylight
over and over and over again. There's nothing he can do in this process. If you were a
suit that wouldn't have changed the dynamic. If he said thank you more, even though he said thank
you a million times in this conversation that took place in the Oval Office, that would not have
changed the dynamic, okay? They hate him. He kissed the ring a million times over,
and they still claim he's not kissing the ring hard enough. Now there's also,
there's also the truth of the matter. If you look at the circumstances in front of Ukraine,
They're running out of manpower, and the additional weapons that are sent into Ukraine is not
necessarily going to change the dynamic of the battlefield, at least according to, seemingly,
the American State Department as well, okay?
This is precisely the reason why there needs to be a managed negotiation to end the Russian
occupation without America looking like they suffered any sort of blow.
And I think Trump's attitude here is basically to say, oh, I wasn't even in favor of Ukraine
to begin with in a way to save face.
If I were to go inside of Trump's mind, okay, and try to understand how he operates, I suspect
that he looks at the situation as there's nothing more you can do.
Like, you know, they've taken 20% of your territory.
There's not really anything you can do without American support to begin with.
And this is the new battle lines that have been drawn and hardened, okay?
And that I don't even care about the minerals in general, that the minerals themselves are
not exactly a thing for us to treasure.
Because virtually everyone that looks at the situation, all the analysts say like,
the rare earth minerals are not necessarily all that bountiful, right?
And a lot of them are on the Russian annex territory anyway.
So I think he's just trying to find a managed negotiated surrender that saves face for America
and also stops Ukraine from getting pummeled.
That's what I think.
He also simultaneously likes Vladimir Putin, obviously, perhaps in a weird way.
So he's just looking at the situation and he's just going like, what are you gonna, what
are you saying?
What are you gonna do about it?
There's nothing you can do in this process with or without us.
So I think Donald Trump thinks he's giving an olive branch to Ukraine in his mind in
this like fucked up way.
Where he thinks like, I suspect he thinks that he is putting together a managed negotiation
that will save face for America by actively undermining Ukraine, I guess, in his mind.
I don't think it's correct.
And because then he's just like saying, Ukraine is the wrong, Ukraine is the party that was
in the wrong and not the wronged party.
And we didn't care about it.
It was like pure Democratic Party nonsense to begin with.
And yeah, he'll get whatever he can in the process.
That's what I think, that's what I think Trump is thinking.
And he's like, how dare you speak out against me?
He's already narcissistic.
He's already incredibly thin-skinned.
So I think he's just looking at the situation and going, like, do you see what the fuck's
going on?
Bro, have you seen the map of Ukraine's minerals?
What are you talking about?
I have.
What do you mean?
We've covered it extensively.
I think the most frustrating thing is that Trump has never really been challenged or
spoken about the underlying basis for the war.
Every single time it comes up, he'd first do his dumb ass.
It would have never happened if I was President Bolshevik, which doesn't say anything.
Yeah, that was why he was so offended when Zelensky was like, no, under your leadership,
you know, Vladimir Putin violated the ceasefire agreements, the previous ceasefire agreements
as well. That's why he like lost his mind, because it directly contradicts his narrative that
Vladimir Putin was afraid of me and he would never dare to violate this
ceasefire under my watch. I don't understand why you think Ukraine will bow down to the USA
Okay, because there is still, in all of this madness, there is still truth to what Trump
is saying in terms of the conditions on the battlefield.
There's also truth when Trump says, we hold all the cards, without us you have nothing.
It's hard to hear, and it's fucked up.
And especially when you do have all the cards, you should never say that.
Powerful people should never actually bully those who have less power than them.
But because Donald Trump is a fucking asshole, he just straight up is saying, you know, you
got nothing.
MAGA, Hasan, no, this is not, this is not MAGA at all.
It is not MAGA to recognize that Ukraine's current issue is not just weapons.
Weapons will certainly help, but it's not just weapons beyond that.
I've maintained this position already.
I've maintained his position for a couple years at this point.
But you can't look at the situation in terms of the crisis of manpower in Ukraine, when
they just don't have enough people to hold the weapons to begin with, and then see it
anything but like a stalemate at this point is possibly better overall. A stalemate and then
most likely some insurgencies that take place within the Russian boundaries, the annex territories.
Any positive outcomes from this change here? I think tactically, I would look through the
eyes of the soldier and how they view this and I think if they get this news at the front
lines, they're going to be disappointed in the United States. I think right now the front lines
are focused on drone warfare as well as artillery fire and artillery ammunition. So if you're a
canineer on the front lines, you're looking at that pallet of ammunition behind you wondering
if it's going to be replaced. So I think in some ways the tactical implications are somewhat
limited and they might not be impactful for let's say the next few weeks, but over time
as air defense platforms degrade and they shoot missiles down, they're shooting things
down that they're not being reinforced there. I think there's going to be real problems with
the Ukraine military trying to keep up to what's going on.
To your point about seeking that next palette of ammunition, how much longer do you think
Ukraine has to sustain that artillery and ballistic missile defense without U.S. help?
Well, they likely have months, not necessarily weeks.
And as again, they've built some defenses up themselves.
But what will happen is Russia will look to go on the offensive and try to break
through in certain areas and weaken Ukraine defenses and force them to play economy
of force missions and to reinforce the areas where they might not want to.
It'll clearly keep them on the defense.
We just also know specifically what this means,
the fact that we're not giving military support.
You know, you've got European soldier commands,
training soldiers, Ukrainian soldiers in Vilsack
and Grafivir in places.
Does that mean that training stops for them as well?
What about intel?
What about other things
that the United States has been providing?
So again, there's a short-term impact
what'll happen tactically on the ground.
Obviously, we know the strategic impacts
over the long run Ukraine would be able to sustain
any kind of defenses against Russia
this last very much longer.
How far do you think European backing,
the EU's backing, can go without that backstop
of the United States?
Unfortunately, the European industrial base,
it won't crank up fast enough to help Ukraine.
It's going to take a year or so in order
for some of the more advanced European defense contractors
to provide any kind of material
that will help Ukraine.
The United States has the war footing right now with the amount of artillery ammunition
that we're supplying with them.
It's increased over the past few years.
And Europe won't be able to backstop that.
So that's where there's a race against time right now.
The United States needs to continue to support Ukraine, at least right now for these negotiations.
Look, Donald Trump doesn't know whether Russia wants to stop.
He knows he wants Ukraine to stop.
He knows he wants the war to stop.
But we don't know whether he knows Russia wants to stop.
And I think this mineral deal will help put an implied security assurances for Ukraine.
But the question is going to be, what are Russian demands in order for Ukraine to stop?
They might-
I'm not kidding when I say this, but I do see one way out of this for Ukraine, and
that is using the mad dog, using the mad dog of the West, the only country that is
in NATO that is actually a directly engaged in active conflict with not one but two other
NATO nations, the country that happens to have the second largest standing military.
I'm serious when I say this.
I mean, this would make up for the manpower issue that Ukraine has.
would obviously continue the war but I'm not I'm not kidding when I say this it
would be the only country it would be the only country that like NATO article
five would not be put forth like instantly I mean this is a insane I'm
This is insane, of course, it's not going to happen, but I don't even know.
I don't even know at this point.
That'd be too much, and perhaps this will cause this administration to turn around and
send more military aid to Ukraine, as the Russians still have a voice as to whether
or not this conflict will end as well.
Historic enemies, by the way, Russia and Turkey, historic enemies, just saying.
Major Mike Lyons, appreciate your point of view.
Thanks for joining us.
back to our top story, the sound Donald Trump's suspension,
Turkey buying air defense business from Russia. I know dog. You know what else Turkey did though,
destroyed Russia's, uh, destroyed any sort of, uh, uh, Russian interference or control
it had over the Middle East. Like that literally happened in the past couple of months. Did
you guys not pay attention to that? Look at Syria. Stop trolling Turkey. Any sending
any of their own troops? Yeah. No, I don't think that that's going to happen. I
I just, I'm, I'm memeing.
Attention of all US military aid to Ukraine.
That includes critical ammunition, advanced weapons.
I mean, Turkey has been, Turkey has been backing Ukraine.
Turkey always plays both sides, dog.
But what do you mean?
Turkey has never not played both sides.
Think about, think about one of the most significant aspects of
Ukrainian defense, the Bayraktar.
That's a Turkish drone, you know, military vehicles.
Most significantly, it also includes patriot air defense missiles.
Those U.S.-provided weapons have been a game changer, really, for Ukraine, allowing it
to protect its skies from Russian attacks.
Now Kyiv is saying it could run out of them in just a matter of weeks.
Europe is scrambling to adjust to this new reality.
The EU is pledging a new $150 billion loan program to help countries in the block
boost the defense spending and increase their support for Ukraine.
And it comes as the Trump administration is trying to get keep to sign a rare minerals
deal with the U.S. and a peace deal with Russia.
Just take a listen to U.S. Vice President JD Van speaking on Fox News.
If you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir
Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans
economic upside in the future of Ukraine.
That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that
hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years.
A Collective US military support for NATO is a great development for Turkey.
It's the second largest military in NATO after the US and also has a burgeoning defense
industrial export base.
This is true.
It is precisely these people, strangers to us, who know what respect is and that
is how it should be.
And that is how it will be says Ukrainian militant.
Why does Turkey want Ukraine into NATO?
I don't think Turkey wants, I mean, I don't think Turkey wants Ukraine and NATO.
Maybe they do.
Maybe I'm completely oblivious to this, but I mean, I think Turkey wishes are inconsequential.
What matters is probably countries like France and Germany.
Well, CNN's Kles, Sebastian takes a look now at the role the US-
Or even the United States of America, like the US likes Ukraine not in NATO as well.
That way they can use Ukraine as a way to strike at Russia without ever facing repercussions
from Russia.
Please, if you're starting position on this is that NATO is a defensive pact, you're
never going to understand the motivations behind why America is doing things, the
way that they're doing them. Okay? Trump doesn't want to know. The American State Department
has never been like we are legitimately considering it. They've only dangled it
because they have codified the Ukrainian nation state. Okay? That's it.
Friends have played in Ukraine's war effort and whether Kiev and Europe
can make up the shortfall. Have a look at this.
A U.S. long-range attack on the missile in action with Ukraine, just one of the highly
sophisticated U.S. weapons, arguably keeping Ukraine in this fight, now in debt.
Well, it's clear that the U.S. has become an indispensable player in Ukraine's defense.
Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky estimated in January that the U.S. alone provides
about 40 percent, you can see it there on the red section, of Ukraine's annual weapons
requirements.
Europe takes about 30%, but Ukraine has also ramped up production, up here in Orange, ready
to supply, the President says, around a third of its own needs, well, that's compared to
10%, so that's, he says, at the start of the war, so you can see the growth there.
If you take a look at this chart, you can see Ukraine has had to grapple with unpredictable
U.S. supplies before.
This shows total donations from the U.S. versus Europe, the U.S. there in red.
It's compiled by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.
And it's clear that the U.S. started to lag significantly in the second half of 2023.
That was when military aid stalled in Congress.
It then picked up again towards the end of 2024 as the Biden administration rushed to
use up all of the congressionally approved funds.
This is not just about quantity.
It's clear that it's the high-tech U.S. weapons that have given Ukraine really
the ability to fight back from the Haimars missiles launches that started arriving
in June of 2022 allowing Ukraine to hit behind Russian lines so then the Patriot air defense
systems approved in December of that year still Ukraine says the only system that can
stop Russian ballistic missiles.
This now the biggest area of concern for Ukraine as Russia ramps up air attacks and then of
course the attacker.
Nice way of getting banned are Pibozo.
I don't know if you know this chatter but I'm live right now.
in the chat of a streamer who is currently live, which means that I'm no longer I'm not
banned anymore.
It's a longer range missiles first used in October of 2023 and last November, authorized
by the Biden administration for use on Russian soil.
Now, if we look at the frontline map, you can see where we are now shortages won't
be immediate, but without a deal to reverse this decision, this already fragile frontline
could be in serious jeopardy.
That's best in CNN, London.
Mr. Vice President, thank you for being with us.
Good to see you, Mr. Chair.
Great to be here.
Let's go back to the Oval Office Friday.
Yeah, by the way, oh, this is such a gross interview.
I watched this.
He was so proud of the way he butted in
and talked about how, you know,
you didn't say thank you.
You didn't say thank you enough.
But he's such a lame-ass coward.
Turkish mining industry is almost entirely composed of foreign mining corporations out
of the Gadielons.
Is there anything getting out of Ukraine?
Even if we had control over it, they had the conflicting support for both Russia and Ukraine.
Most of you said, I don't want to sell biotech dollars.
Why would I don't want Turkish soldiers in Ukraine?
Maybe to make you more dependent on Turkey as a security force, but that feels too far
cited for our dawn.
No, I don't think that that feels too far cited for our dawn, but that would
be the only motivation for this.
I mean, also I'm not even entertaining that.
I was just throwing that out as a joke.
Like that is, that is a very far fetched thing. Turkey in proximity to Russia is, is, uh, Turkey
is very close to Russia in proximity. Supports restoring Ukraine's pre 2014, uh, border supports
Ukraine joining NATO. I mean, this doesn't mean anything offered a post war security
guarantee to Ukraine. Yeah. Like the main point of contention here is post war security
for Ukraine. The main point of contention here is post-war security for Ukraine. America obviously
is not going to do it with American troops, okay, because if Russia kills an American
troop and then boom, all of a sudden two nuclear powers are at war with one another.
Turkey on the other hand is a wild card inside of NATO. That's why I said there
could be, this could be a way out, a win-win-win-win situation. If they throw 10 billion
euros that Erdogan he will march the army himself by the Xhalleraq you dead.
Guarantee. So in this video we take a look at how Turkey's Ukraine posture has changed
and what might have motivated this such...
Never miss an episode and always feel in the loop by subscribing and ringing the
bell. So let's start with a bit of context and explain how Turkey has positioned itself
throughout the Ukraine war. True to form, Turkish President Recep Erdogan has tried
have played both sides. And, well, he sort of succeeded.
Oh, he has succeeded.
Nizhip Tayyip Ardan always plays both sides, and as a consequence of playing both sides,
he always comes out on top. That's how it is, baby.
For starters, Turkey has enjoyed a series of diplomatic wins since the invasion. Erdogan
has pretty good relations with Putin, despite Turkey being a NATO member. And Turkey
Turkey hosted the first round of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in March 2022.
While these negotiations promptly collapsed, Erdogan then played a key role in negotiating
the Black Sea grain deal in July 2022, which allowed Ukrainian farmers to export their
grain via the Turkish Straits, with monitoring from the Turkish authorities.
As well as burnishing Turkish diplomatic credentials, Erdogan's ambivalence also
has helped the Turkish economy.
economy looked pretty vulnerable when the war began. Thanks to Erdogan's unorthodox
monetary policy, inflation was already running at about 50% year on year in January 2022.
And the sanctions-induced rise in global energy prices threatened to make everything
a whole lot worse. However, Turkey weathered the storm pretty well. Turkey refused to join
with most sanctions, which meant that they were able to both import Russian energy
and acts as a transit hub for Russian oil and gas.
Lots of Russian cash also flowed into Turkey to avoid sanctions,
which provided Turkey with a much needed source of foreign currency,
while Turkish defence companies made serious money selling drones and inventory carriers to Ukraine.
In 2023, Turkey refused to immediately let Sweden and Finland into NATO,
which both pleased the Kremlin and allowed Turkey to extract various concessions from other NATO members.
Then, just last year, Turkey again stepped in as a mediator to negotiate a prisoner swap,
which included,
We are the table, baby. We are the table!
... American journalist, Evan Gershovich.
You get the idea, then. Turkey has played both sides,
continuing to trade with both Russia and Ukraine,
while using its unique position as a relatively Russia-friendly NATO member
to position itself as a much-needed mediator.
However, in the past couple of weeks, Turkey has started sounding conspicuously pro-Ukraine.
This really began on Tuesday last week, when just a few hours after Russian and American
officials met in Saudi Arabia, Zelensky paid a surprise visit to Ankara.
At the joint press conference afterwards, Erdogan insisted that Ukraine and Europe should
be included in the negotiations, reaffirmed his support for Ukraine's territorial integrity
as quote non-negotiable, essentially implying the expected Ukraine to retake all of its
pre-2014 territory, including Crimea, and even came out in support of Ukraine's NATO membership.
This all directly contradicted the Trump administration, pursued negotiations without Ukraine or
Europe, suggested that Ukraine will have to accept some territorial losses, and dismissed
Ukraine's NATO aspirations as unrealistic.
This was followed by similar comments from the Turkish Foreign Minister, who this week
reaffirmed Turkey's support for Ukrainian NATO membership, suggested that Turkey could
act as a security guarantor in the event of a ceasefire and encourage Europe to pivot
away from the US, arguing that reducing dependency on the US will make them more resilient.
it's important not to overstate. Okay, the real reason why I said Turkey could play this role is
because America has often in the Middle East used Turkey as the middleman in many affairs that they
do not want to be seen directly involved in, whether it be Syria or even ISIS. That is Turkey's
major role. This could be yet another opportunity. This way, Turkey gets to, this way America
gets to safe face and say, oh, we're not doing this ourselves. And then use Turkey to be
the middleman, the envoy, a country that already has the precedent of violating pre-existing
NATO contracts and NATO security. I don't think Donald thinks, sees Turkey as a country
No, he does. I mean, it's not him. It's people in his corner to state all of this.
Turkey has always supported Ukraine's territorial integrity, and Erdogan has a bit of a habit of flip-flopping on foreign policy.
Nonetheless, it's at least true that Turkey sounds a lot more pro-Ukraine all of a sudden. And this is good news for Zelensky.
So what motivated this shift? Well, as we see it, there are at least four possible reasons.
Firstly, Erdogan has made it clear that he still wants to mediate and is probably trying to keep Ukraine on side.
by convincing Kiev that they won't force an unfavorable deal on them like the one that
Trump is apparently trying to negotiate with Russia.
Second, it's part of a wider turn in international opinion against Russia and the US.
This became glaringly apparent in Monday's UN General Assembly vote, where just a handful
of countries voted with the US and Russia against the European resolution, calling
for an end to the war in Ukraine.
This is essentially because, while the war looked a bit like a NATO-Russia proxy
war before, which meant the countries which weren't super keen on the west were reluctant
to throw their weight behind Ukraine. Now Trump and Russia are apparently on the same
side. It looks more like plain old neo-imperialism. The big country is bullying the small countries.
Erdogan has long advocated for a multipolar world, rather than one dominated by the
traditional superpowers. So it's not surprising that he's resisting Trump here.
Third, Turkey wants Russia out of the Black Sea, which is why Erdogan is so keen on
Ukraine recovering all of its pre-2014 territory, including Crimea.
Addoan resisting any American leadership is perhaps one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
Immediately, as a Turkish person, I laugh, okay? Like, you can't say this right after.
Addoin basically destroyed the Assad regime and undermined the pre-existing goodwill that
they had with NATO or a goodwill they had with Russia.
Come on, it's also funny to think that America's involvement with Ukraine was not neo-imperialist
until Trump.
Sure.
The fourth, Turkey wants to leverage its military power to get something out of the EU.
For context, Turkey is one of the largest armies in NATO, with more active troops than
any European army.
Erdogan has noticed that Europe needs a military power to guarantee Ukraine's security without
America's support, and he's offering to help if the EU gives him something in return,
like letting Turkey join the EU.
Erdogan actually made this explicit on Monday, when he claimed that Turkey's accession
the EU is the only way to solve the constant security and demographic crises. This isn't
the first time the Erdogan has tried to play this either. Literally hours after Trump won the US election.
Europeans are so insanely Islamophobic. There is 0%. This would collapse the EU.
Okay, this has been a meta and a meme, I would say. In my opinion,
for decades. My entire lifetime EU membership for Turkey has been floated in front of Turkey
in a way that is not dissimilar to Ukraine as a matter of fact. Except of course,
Ukraine being Christian does have a likelihood. This is just not going to happen.
In November, Erdogan told reporters at the European political community that,
Quote, Turkey's full inclusion in the European Union defence efforts is indispensable for Europe's peace and security.
Now while it's hard to imagine Turkey actually joining the EU anytime soon,
Erdogan might still be able to negotiate something like a closer economic relationship with Europe.
Or at least get the Europeans to turn a blind eye to his ongoing crackdown on opposition politicians.
This also creates a bit of a dilemma for Europe.
If Europe does actually decide to build a new security architecture outside of NATO,
And we're saying Europe, not the EU here because it will probably include the UK too.
Would this include Turkey?
On one hand, Turkey is a strong army, a thriving defence industry, and sits at a strategically valuable position
along the Black Sea and at the confluence of Europe and the Middle East.
On the other hand, Erdogan has proven a somewhat unreliable and occasionally two-faced NATO ally.
And...
Clearly, you are not European. You don't know what Turkey people want.
They have been trying to join EU for years. Islamophobia in EU doesn't mean Turkey. It means other Islam countries that don't assimilate as good as Turkey.
Do you know what I think is my American accent?
I can't believe it. He came to me and said, you are not European, you don't understand.
But I guess he doesn't know that I am Turkish.
My name is Hasan Abilal. What do you say, son? Are you crazy?
This has to be this has to be one of the dumbest Turks I've ever encountered in my chat or
Even funnier. He's some weird
Turkish exceptionalist who also is still very much Islamophobic
Yeah, dude European Europeans make distinctions between good Muslims and bad Muslims certainly
Certain European countries most know to be France and Greece could be very resistant to the idea
Now, the thing is, often in politics, we need to understand a wide variety of topics to
truly grasp what's going on.
And fortunately, asked once this week, Brilliant can help us do just that, with thousands of
lessons in math, science, programming and AI.
And not only that, their interactive lessons teach you by-
Also, um, I- I- what was I gonna say?
God damn it.
Alright, I'm forgetting.
I'm forgetting what I was gonna say.
Let's get back to JD Man.
Yeah. From your perspective. Yeah. Great TV. As the president said, yeah, well, you know, it's, it's
funny. So we have a 40, 45 minute press conference and the president normally does this and I've seen
this now three or four times with foreign leaders where he likes to bring the media in, likes to
have a conversation, but answer questions with the press. As you know, he's very open with reporters
and what I noticed is that for the first 25, 30 or so minutes, he tried to sort of bend over
backwards to be gracious and kind to Zelensky. Even when Zelensky was kind of
needling him, even when Zelensky was saying the things that I thought were
untrue, the president just tried to be diplomatic, right? I think that sets his
natural instinct in that situation. And then when it really went off the rails,
of course, is when I asked or you had a Polish journalist who asked a question,
the president answered it and then I answered it. And then something about
my answer just really sets Zelensky off so then he came at me.
It was me.
He laid him off.
Then I went back at him and what I tried to do originally was actually try to diffuse
the situation a little bit because I'm like, you know, we're having this meeting, obviously
there are a hundred television cameras here.
Let's try to have this conversation in private and then the president, as we kept on going
back and forth, I tried again to say, well, maybe we should have this conversation
private and the president was like nope actually I don't want to have it in
private anymore I want to have this actual conversation in public for the
American people to see and I do think that there was just a certain sense of
there's a lack of respect there was a certain sense of entitlement and most
importantly look we can look past all that stuff but the president has set a
very clear goal for his administration he wants the killing to
stop and I think that it's very important that president Zelensky and
And of course, President Putin too, they've both.
Why shouldn't he lie, chat?
Why shouldn't he lie?
Of course.
Who's going to check him?
Sean Hannity?
No one is even remotely interested in the truth.
Why shouldn't he lie?
He's lying his goddamn face off.
Both got to come to the negotiating table, and that's ultimately where things broke
apart.
I really don't care what President Zelensky says about me or anybody else, but he showed
the clear unwillingness to engage in the peace process that President Trump has said is the
policy of the American people and of their president.
That's the real breakdown is I think Zelensky wasn't yet there and I think frankly now
still isn't there but I think we'll get there eventually he has to.
My understanding is he tried to get back in or tried to stay a number of times and
then made numerous calls to come back.
Is that true?
I don't know about numerous calls but they certainly made at least one request
to come back and continue the conversation.
The president was like, look, first of all,
they were disrespectful.
And second of all, what are we even going to talk about?
They showed a clear unwillingness
to discuss the peaceful settlement
that President Trump is trying to bring to the situation.
I think a lot of Americans are sort of,
it's useful to step back and ask ourselves,
what is the actual plan here?
You can't just fund the war forever.
The American people won't stand for it.
And by the way, Sean, if you look
at European opinion polls,
The Europeans aren't going to stand forever for it either.
We need to bring this thing to a peaceful settlement that President was trying to do that.
He'll continue to try to do that, but you've got to have two to tango.
You've got to have a negotiating partner in the Ukrainians who recognize that, you
know, of course they have their views and of course they're not always going to agree
with us, but they've got to participate in the conversation.
They weren't willing to do that on Friday, so the President said send him home.
He said today that the war he expects will go on a very long time.
I don't know where he's gonna get the money to fund that war
I have my doubts that Europe will fund the war to the level that Biden and Harris were funding it and then the issue now
Is come up whether or not this administration will I'm fucking Polish we defend borders daily
Okay, um opinion discarded
You're talking to a Turkish man shut the fuck up. All right gotta say in total victory JD has really come into this
Come into his own both commercially and politically
You've joked him right
Are we looking at an entirely separate video?
What's happening?
I'm watching JD Vance get his dick sucked by Sean Hannity while simultaneously he has
pulled off the most impressive feet of all time, sucking Donald Trump off, even though
he's not in the room.
Okay, he is joking.
All right.
We'll continue to offer money and arms for this war to continue because without
America, I would argue the president was right in saying they have no cards.
Yeah.
I think our European friends frankly are being really, really, they're doing a disservice to the
Ukrainians because their own populations are saying, we're not going to fund this war indefinitely.
The American people are saying, we don't want to fund the war indefinitely. So the only thing that
is in the best interest of America, of Russia, of Ukraine, and of Europe is to bring this thing
to a close. What happened, Sean, is you have Zelensky. He goes to Europe and a lot of our
European friends puff him up. They say, you're a freedom fighter. You need to keep fighting
fighting forever, well fighting forever with what? With whose money, with whose ammunition
and with whose lives? The President is actually taking a much more realistic perspective and
saying this can't go on forever. We can't fund this thing forever, the Ukrainians can't
fight forever, so let's bring this thing to a peaceful settlement.
When I interviewed Zelensky he wouldn't give me direct answers. I asked him about the
mineral deal to pay the U.S. back. To me there's three phases in this and my
understanding was Friday was supposed to be relatively ceremonial.
was. And in that it was supposed to be we signed the mineral deal that's that's
part one. Part two would be a ceasefire. Part three would be the hardest part
the negotiated settlement with Putin who correctly if I'm wrong said he's
willing to talk peace with Trump. Yeah he said he's willing to talk peace and of
course we trust but verify we want to have the conversation we don't assume
that everything that anybody tells us is true that's why we want to engage
in this conversation but you're exactly right Sean when the Ukrainians came
to Washington on Friday, it was supposed to be ceremonial.
You know, there had been some public back and forth,
some disagreement, some words spoken in public.
And the president was like, let's have this moment.
We give some credit to the brave Ukrainian fighters.
And of course, it's a very brave army
that they have there in Ukraine.
Let's sign this minerals deal, which, importantly,
does two things.
It allows the American people to get some of their money
back, but it also shows the Ukrainian people
that America has a long-term investment
in their sovereignty.
You do those things, we'll sign this thing, we'll have a rah-rah moment, and then we'll get to the tough talk of negotiating peace.
We couldn't even get the Ukrainians to a point where they could talk about the peaceful settlement.
And look in some way, Sean, I get it. I get the frustration. I get the rage. It's their country, of course.
I really sometimes feel a little bit overwhelmed. Like, this is one of those moments where
virtually everything that JD Vance has said thus far,
with some exceptions about like the conditions on the battlefield and what not is incorrect like in
terms of coming to the table for a negotiated peace and a negotiated settlement like he's
not wrong about that. The problem however is that every single other thing that he says
before and after is just insane. And it's like so objectively wrong. I don't know how I'll
also describe it. Like it's things that we saw with our own two eyes over the course
of the past week. Listening to Republicans at this stage, it feels like undermining
truth itself. Once again, I repeat myself when I say, lying is OP, please nerve. And
What's weird about it is that like there is a world where Donald Trump could actually fulfill his narcissistic desires and like maybe get a fucking Nobel Peace Prize.
You know what I mean?
Like all this stuff.
If he was managing this not in the most Trumpian way possible but instead in a very in a normal way.
That is the, that's the insanity here because like the Biden administration did unironically
have many opportunities for off ramps and refused to take them, refused to come to the
table and be reasonable American leadership that would try to manage some kind of ceasefire.
So Trump does have that opportunity, but of course he's not doing that.
He's just doing this insane stuff where he's like, no, I love Russia.
Russia is the best.
And we're going to give Russia everything and you can't do anything about it.
Which is psychotic.
It's not our country, but you've got to accept cooler heads have got to prevail.
This thing cannot go on forever.
This is the important point.
I'd say this to our course.
Most importantly, the Americans who are watching, but people all over the world.
When you talk to leaders in private, whether they're Ukrainian or European, when you talk
to people in private, they will tell you this cannot go on forever.
There aren't enough Ukrainian lives, there isn't enough American money, and there isn't
enough ammunition to fund this thing indefinitely.
The only realistic pathway to bringing this thing to a settlement is President Trump's
pathway.
We encourage both President Zelensky and President Putin to follow that path.
Well, I mean, hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent, and this came up in
the discussion Friday.
by the administration called Putin every name in the book and they've been trying to get the president
and he still evaded anyway okay he still invaded anyway well remember it depends if it's a minor
incursion let's let's go back dude the thing that is like the thing that I think is is very weird
about this is how much america is is hurting its own leverage at the table like if it's a proxy
why the hell are you undermining your own proxy? Like, it makes no sense. That's the
part where I'm like, like Trump is, that's the reason why I say Trump, I think it's
just like trying to save face and basically say like, oh, Ukraine was the previous administration's
failure. Like, I don't want nothing to do with it. And it does not make sense at all.
You don't understand the art of the deal. Yeah. Teenager of the year. Hassan banned
again please. After that moment which I thought as troops were amassing on the
border. But I go back and I think about this and and Biden spent all of this
money called Putin all these names the media and the Democrats they want
Donald Trump to call him names and the president is right this thing and then
he's supposed to call him and say Vladimir are you ready to talk to a
piece now yeah that's not gonna work. No it's diplomacy one on one oh one
Right is you have to have a reasonable relationship with somebody to be able to even start the conversation
We have to remember Sean Ukraine half of the country a third of the country is totally destroyed
The economy is depressed. You've got hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians
Of course a lot of dead Russians as well the president wants to negotiate a settlement
How can you negotiate if you can't even talk to somebody and that's what he said
He's not saying like nobody's suggesting, as Secretary Rubio said,
no, the suggesting that we give the Nobel Peace Prize to Vladimir Putin.
What we're saying is it's important.
What we're saying is give it to President Trump, please.
President Trump to be able to have a conversation.
That's not well served by standing up at a press conference
and calling the guy every negative name in the book.
By the way, as you just said,
President Biden called Putin every single name in the book.
What did it lead to?
It led to war. It led to destruction. It led to conflict.
President Trump is trying to bring this thing to a close.
You got to be able to talk to somebody to do that.
Is the door open? President Trump said Friday he can come back if he wants peace.
Is that door still open today?
What President Trump has said clearly and consistently is...
Like the American government refuses to call
Putin a dictator. Fine.
You can say, oh, we don't want to call him a dictator, even though it's obvious he's the party that did a lot of wrong because we're negotiating with him. That's that's one thing.
But when you pair that up with calling Zelensky a dictator, then all of a sudden the dynamic shifts a little bit.
That's, do you see what I mean?
Do you see what I mean?
Like I get why you wouldn't want to call
the guy you're about to fucking set a deal with,
the guy that you're bringing to the table
to do a negotiated settlement with.
Like actively shitting on them is probably not going to
help your cause if you're trying to put a deal together.
But also simultaneously disrespecting your proxy
in this process is insane.
Unless you are trying to desperately save face and make it seem as though
make it seem as though Ukraine is not your thing. It was like the Biden thing.
Of course, the door is open so long as Zelensky is willing to seriously talk peace.
You can't come into the Oval Office or anywhere else and refuse to even discuss the details of a peace deal.
Look, this is not going to make anybody happy. The Russians are going to have to give up stuff.
Ukrainians are going to have to give up stuff.
You can't come to the Oval Office and say,
give us...
Are you seriously trying to rationalize this?
Are them trying to make a peace plan?
No.
I'm trying to find rational behind the fucking insanity.
And I'm not going to lie to you,
every day it becomes more and more difficult.
Like every day that has gone by,
the administration has become increasingly more insane.
where I try to make sense of what they're saying
and there is nothing there.
Like it only makes sense to you if you're just,
the stuff that they're doing makes sense to you
if you've bludgeoned your head
with a frying pan over and over again
and you just want someone to go,
yeah, no, this is cool, he's owning the lips here.
Because like, the Trump admin actively undermines its own positions from the day prior.
You know what I mean?
It's not like they have no resistance.
So they're just kind of resisting themselves because there's no resistance whatsoever.
So they just like, we'll do stuff and then those things will be bad.
So then they'll turn around and be like, all right, we're clawing some of it back.
real 5d chess I just shit and pissed all over my diapers and then I smeared it on
the walls and now we're saying I smell like shit that was my 5d chess okay now
I'm gonna clean up that poop security guarantees we won't even engage with you
about what we're willing to give up that's been the Ukrainian posture when
that posture changes as President Trump said when they're willing to talk
peace I think President Trump will be the first person to pick up the phone
well I got to imagine that they're probably rethinking it what did you
make of European leaders, quote, their voices of solidarity this weekend, because it's Lindsey
Graham who's been very supportive of Ukraine in this conflict.
I mean, he was livid.
Yes.
And he said if they want to now defend their own continent, let them go ahead and do it.
Good luck to them.
Yeah.
And my message to Ukrainians, by the way, to President Zelensky is, when you've lost
Lindsey Graham, that means you need to come to the negotiating table and recognize
Donald Trump is the only game in town.
He's the only person who I think has a meaningful plan to save that country.
But Sean, here's the problem with the Europeans.
And a lot of these guys are our friends, they're our allies.
We of course, you know, the president has a great relationship with a lot of European
heads of state.
And so do I, but they need to be realistic.
And the craziest part about this, Sean, is that sometimes you'll have European
heads of state who in public will puff up their chest and say, we're in it with
President Zelensky for the next 10 years.
And then in private, they'll pick up the phone and say,
we can't, this can't go on forever.
He has to come to the negotiating table.
So I honestly don't.
That's messy.
He's being a messy bitch.
That's Tee.
That's messy.
That's messed up.
I don't think he's lying about this for the record.
I wish he wasn't such a coward and he leaked it,
but leaked the DMs pussy.
Don't care what the Europeans say in public.
What I care is what they say in private
and what they need to be saying to President Zelensky is,
this can't go on forever.
The bloodshed, the killing, the economic devastation.
Definitely Germany, by the way.
Station, it's making everyone worse off.
The only pathway to, I think, back to peace and prosperity
is what the president's trying to accomplish.
And now we look back in time and we see Joe Biden
was beginning to understand that the patience
of the American people is running thin.
That's right.
Hundreds of billions of dollars
nation with nearly 40 trillion in debt. I mean, it's too much.
Well, so that's an important point, though, because I was a United States Senator, of course,
for the last two years of the Biden administration. I got elected.
I think you like the job better. I think I like the job a lot better. I certainly like the president
a lot better. And here's the thing, you know, when you would talk to the Biden administration
officials in private, it's another example of a terrible situation that Biden admin left the
Trump administration. When you ask them, what's the plan?
What? I just saw a clip of you laughing at a man whose son is in foster care.
What? What are you talking about?
This is why people like my stand alone YouTube VOD videos better.
Oh, oh, oh, Crash Dummies Pod.
Oh, it's a Crash Dummies Pod episode, Joe.
Yeah, we had a Crash Dummies Fira and collab again, and it was amazing.
Okay, we're going to spend tens of billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars in Ukraine.
What is your plan?
plan and they would honestly tell you well we're just going to send them weapons for as
long as we can and hope eventually they can turn the tide. Hope is not a strategy. Throwing
money and ammunition at a terrible conflict that is not a strategy. The only guy in town
with a strategy is the president of the United States and everybody needs to follow his lead.
What scares me is Zelensky when he says it's going to go on for years. How many
more lives are going to be lost? He's not going to have a country to save it
exactly right. The minerals deal would have provided the monies to rebuild their country
and a strong US presidents and maybe Europe in troops as well.
And this is, this is an important part of it. The president knows that, look, if you want
real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade
Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in
the future of Ukraine. That is a way better security.
Dude, what sucks about this, aside from all of the senseless cruelty and humiliation that
we're subjecting the Ukrainian population to, after using and abusing them as cannon fodder
and selling them false promises about security, is that this is a very revealing moment
about American ambition, a very revealing moment.
But because American actions here are so insane, I can't even sit around and gloat because
I think about all of the, all the Ukrainians that are going to suffer as a consequence of
this.
But this should be a moment of revelation, a moment where Americans recognize how we
do things.
Okay.
I doubt it though, about Putin as some kid you be shit on Trump.
Is that not extortion?
Yes.
It is.
And that's always been what we do.
I think this happening with Trump creates this unique opportunity where instead of having
these conversations behind closed doors, they're very brutally honest about it, outwardly honest
about it.
They don't care about manufacturing consent, and they certainly don't care about like
hiding the way that, what the fuck, this is a private moment for JD.
I can't believe you guys are exposing him like this.
This was a private photo, dude, that he took with his friends and family.
Asmongold was calling moderation bias.
Yeah.
It's so weird because the attitude that most streamers have often had towards Twitch moderation
is that we need less bands, not more.
But I guess all, it's ironic, especially for Asmongold, to turn around and be like,
no, we should be banning people longer.
I find it really strange that he of all people is saying that considering how many times
he gets yelled at, uh, by the internet for things that he says on his broadcast.
How does he think that is?
How does he think that that's going to work out?
He said he doesn't care.
Huh.
He fostered a community biggest.
Oh, 100%.
All right.
I promise you, if you did not have 60,000 people reacting to Donald Trump, he would
stop tomorrow. I don't know why people think that this is like completely
ridiculous or people will say, oh, what's on excuse you, Joe's like, no,
Asmongold admits this. He don't give a fuck about nothing, dude. He just cares
about the numbers. The problem is it's not even money. It's relevance. He
cares more about relevance. He cares more about relevance than he does
about money. Make no mistake. I understand Asmongold's ambitions.
I promise you, I get it.
The main difference between him and I is that I have a world view that I care about that
I want to explain to people and want to bring people onto my side.
That's it.
A couple days ago, he said that he's been reading so much that if he believes something,
he's objectively right, like supporting Hamas.
I like that you point this out when I'm talking about like an ideological position
that I have that I firmly am committed to. Like, you think that there is a broad,
popular support for Hamas or even Palestinians in general? No, obviously, when you are pro-Palestinian
emancipation, it doesn't matter. Everybody just calls you a fucking terrorist over and over again
and demand that you get deep platform. That is literally the point. Yes, I'm saying no
No matter how unpopular a certain position might seem, I am committed to advocating for
said position because I believe it is correct. Palestinians deserve a right to live free,
free of the Israeli occupation.
That's it.
Can we stop talking about as we're acknowledging existence is a problem?
I mean, if you want, glad to see your back.
What is this?
Remember my picture of my older brother went viral cause he was the guy who just wanted to update you.
He got his master's in it. Couldn't be proud of this.
He said he doesn't need to worry about moderation because he's not radical at all, unlike you.
In some ways, Azman Gold is not wrong for the new American right that is like unimaginably far right.
Technically, he is firmly championing whatever their far right champions. If tomorrow they become
out and about neo-nazis, he will most likely champion that as well. As long as it still
gives him a relatively large audience and a position of prominence. That's it. I'm telling
you, dude, I promise you, things change in American politics all the time. Let's say
Trump does something truly heinous, okay, and all of his supporters start leaving him
in droves, which is not very likely. He has a cult.
And Asmigol realizes that the tide is shifting.
That is the day that he will switch his political commentary in the opposite direction.
He does not care.
He's no different than Joe Rogan in many respects, where he will go along with the winds, except
he also, just like Joe Rogan, has like certain issues that he does care about.
For Joe Rogan, it was always weed, and then it turned into vaccines as well.
For asthma gold it's titties and video games.
Beyond titties and video games,
I don't think he has like firmly held convictions at all,
or any sort of real interest in politics.
And I get it.
American politics is a spectator sport.
That's it.
There is no material changes that are coming.
That's why so many people say nothing ever happens.
Do you understand?
And if it's just pure spectacle and a spectator sport,
then why shouldn't you take advantage of that
by simply looking at the madness
and assuming what you perceive
is the most popular position you can,
which is the position of the obvious incoming government,
incoming administration that just won the popular vote.
You understand me?
Let's see what the people are saying.
52% of America's bag Ukraine convoy with Russia.
So I think the easiest way we can kind of just ask this is do Americans like the way
that Trump's handling his job and compare it to how they felt about Joe Biden.
So this is the net approval rating.
You look at Joe Biden back in 2024, he was 22 points on the water, holy cow.
You look at Donald Trump, it's just a different planet entirely.
I mean, the gulf between these two is wider than the Gulf of America or Mexico, depending
on which side of the aisle you stand on.
He's at plus two.
So look at this particular point, Americans are giving Donald Trump the.
Dan's favorite. Yeah. That's why I've been banned more times than every single one of your favorite content creators on this platform.
That was what was always funny too. Everyone would always be like Hassan. Hassan is a PG 13 streamer. That's what trainwrecks used to say.
And it's like, motherfucker, I've been banned more times than you. What are you talking about? I've literally been banned more times than trainwrecks.
I've been banned more times than most content creators on this platform.
What are you talking about?
He's doing considerably better than Joe Biden was doing on the handling of the Russia-Ukraine
conflict.
And so on this simple question, I think Americans are saying, okay, Donald Trump's doing all
right on this.
What about specifically on how they feel about bringing the war to an end?
Yeah, okay.
So, you know, look, questions on this can be quite complicated, but I think this
kind of gets at sort of where the American trend line is.
Americans on the Russia-Ukraine war want a quicker end of the war, but Russia
bro I'm gonna say something crazy here the numbers for Israel coming to the
table for a ceasefire was like 80% when will he get permanently banned why are
you a subscriber to me for two months and asking when I'll get permanently
banned I don't know I dislike you because of the right and my brother would
say you was a terrorist but then I watched you and I was like you right
and something we don't see eye to eye on everything, but not crazy. Anyway, it is wild to me that the
American attitude towards Israel was like 80% of the American government, I mean 80% of the American
voters are like, please do a ceasefire. We need a ceasefire right now. Please stop sending me JD
Vance's. Oh my God. Oh my God, I'm losing my mind. Keeps its captured land. Look at this.
50%, 50%.
Bare majority, bare majority come in here,
support Ukraine's right to fight,
even if it means a long war.
That's a 48.
This is very, very close.
But the trend line on this question is so important,
because that one quick end of the war, look at this.
You go back to August of 2022, it was at 31%.
Now we're at 50%.
I mean, that is a rocket ship upwards
in terms of the Americans who want a quick end to the war,
even if it means Russia keeps the captured Ukraine land.
Americans are moving closer and closer to wanting a compromise, even if it means that
Ukraine doesn't really get what it set out to want, at least at the beginning of this
war.
And Americans' views on Russia are shifting as well.
Absolutely.
I mean, one of the reasons why we're seeing this is Americans who say Russia is an enemy,
you go back to 2023, it was 64%.
And that CBS News You, Gulf Poll, it was down to 34%.
Now there is a chunk that believes that Russia is an unfriendly nation, but the
Oh my God, this is incredible. How is that possible? Dude, I swear to God, Americans are
the dumbest country on the... Americans are the dumbest people on the planet, collectively.
No. No way. Like, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to think that like an entire nation
is bad, okay? Or sorry, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to think that an,
uh, that, that an entire nation of people are, are not bad, right? It's not a bad thing
at all. It's not a bad thing at all. Having said that, having said that, it is shocking
that after a century of red scare, anti-red baiting, uh, anti-Russia propaganda, USSR,
Why are you mad? This is good. No, no, no, no, no. I'm not mad. I'm not mad at all
I wish they would do this about China in every other country really
but please if you don't realize that
Americans who have been taught to literally despise Russia during the Red Scare
Could so quickly. No, it's not that they're not falling for red scare propaganda anymore. You're wrong
It's entirely telegram and Trump. I think that's what it is. I think it's straight-up telegram channels, Donald Trump,
like how malleable Americans are is wild.
We literally have developed a
audience. I mean, this gives me a little bit of confidence. This gives me a little bit of hope, honestly.
All China has to do is just like play the right propaganda notes and
then maybe it is the Chinese century of prosperity, you know?
Because most Americans still think Russia is the Soviet Republic.
Most Americans don't think Russia is capitalist.
They think Communist Russia, fucking Maxwell Frost, the Gen Z, the Zoomer Congressperson
came out and was like, Soviet Russia.
I can't believe like Trump doesn't want to attack Kami Russia, Soviet Russia.
Like what are you saying?
weren't alive when the USSR existed. You were born after it seized to exist. What do you mean?
I think this is truly shocking. I don't think that it's bad to no longer hate any country.
Okay, Americans are, it's good that Americans don't have hate in their hearts for a country.
Okay, that makes it harder to, you know, do global domination, American imperialism,
but it's also alarming how malleable they are. It is alarming how malleable they are.
Maybe it presents some semblance of hope for doing counter propaganda, but it's wild to me.
This is wild. Why are you defending Russia? What am I watching? Oh my God,
This is also partially what I mean people do not have reading comprehension skills or critical thinking skills in general
I'm simply stating that it is shocking that so many fucking dumb boomers who literally
Two years ago would have said comey Russia ussr
Better dead than red baby have turned around and I like Russians are fine. I think I'm ambiguous towards them
that is like
50 years of propaganda broken in a matter of two years, three years. That is crazy. Do you not
understand how shocking that is? I think maybe, maybe if tomorrow every, every single news media
outlet and every single major media apparatus was overtaken by
communist or whatever, maybe Americans would also have a positive opinion about commies
overnight and communism overnight. If you can brick like almost a century of anti Russia,
anti US is our propaganda, virtually overnight with like a couple million dollars of targeted
marketing campaigns. Okay. And, and, you know, with, with the president coming out and being
like, ah, they're fine, actually. Yeah, 42% of Americans believe Russia is communist still.
That's how stupid these people are percentage who believe that they're either an ally or
friendly. That's up to 34% as well. Basically equal to the percentage who say that they're
an enemy. So views on Russia have become, let's say a little less isolated in terms
of wanting Russia to be way out there on their own, thinking that they're an enemy. At this
particular point, they're starting to see Russia a little bit more friendly. And I think that's
part of the reason why Americans want it.
Oh my God. This is also a good point. Russia is more popular than the Democratic Party
currently. Democratic Party approval rating 31%. Russian approval rating in the minds
of Americans 34%. That's crazy. That is, what the hell?
Let's see a compromise at this particular hour.
Yeah. And after, yeah, this is after invading, this is after invading another country. Damn,
dude. Damn. Americans are so wild, brother. America is a wild nation. It is shocking that
not every single country on the planet, like it is not freaking out every single day of
the week about the fact that a nation comprised entirely of belligerent mad men have nukes
and have used them before and have the appetite to use them again, okay?
It's crazy.
It actually is crazy.
All you had to do, all Vladimir Putin had to do was say Ukraine is woke and gay and
we're based and we're gonna, we're gonna break the woke transgender Ukraine's back
and make them straight again, make them white again, make them Christian again.
And literally everyone was like, that makes so much sense.
You could sell communism to the American population by saying anti-communist are woke and gay.
Communism is the future because anti-communists are woke, they're DEI and they're gay.
Security guarantee, then 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a
war.
He's on Iran. You're the fucking mega communist position. By the way, I'm obviously joking.
I don't believe that. Okay. Welcome back. Jackson Henkel and 30 or 40 years. The security
guarantee and also the economic guarantee for Ukraine is to rebuild the country and
ensure that America has a long-term interest. You're not going to do that. If you come
to the Oval Office, insult the president and refuse to follow his plan for peace.
If he called, and I hate hypothetical questions, sure. Forgive me. If he called
tomorrow and said I am ready to adopt your plan for peace. He can come back. I
think that if he called and had a serious proposal for how he was going to
engage in the process. Look there are details that really matter that we're
already working on with the Russians. We've already talked to some of our
allies. He needs to engage seriously on the details. I think once that happens
then absolutely we want to talk to you. You convinced Putin and the Russians
are willing to meet them, I don't want to say the word halfway, they're
willing to do their part to achieve a negotiated settlement. Am I
I'm not convinced, no, but do I think that there's a real pathway?
You've got to trust but verify.
You've got to engage in the negotiation.
You've got to see what steps people are willing to take.
This is another thing, Sean, obviously I'm biased because I really love the guy.
But when the media attacks President Trump as somehow on the side of Putin, two big
problems is that, first of all, the only president in 20 years where you haven't
had the Russians take a bunch of territory was under the first term of Donald J. Trump.
The second part of that is you've got to actually accept that President Trump, he's not just
assuming that everything the Russians tell him is true.
He's negotiating with them.
There's a give and take.
There's a trust but verify.
That's called...
Bro, stop.
Why does he keep saying trust but verify?
This is new meta, I think.
He just keeps saying that over and over again.
What the hell?
Plomacy, we used to have some respect for that in Washington, D.C.
Yeah, Jackson Hinkle went to Hassan Nasrallah's funeral proceedings and then came back to the United States unscathed
Meanwhile, I get fucking cavity blasted every time I walk through TSA. What the hell is going on?
Tell me that dude is not a Fed. Okay. Tell me that dude is not a federal agent. Jesus Christ
No, shit is a Russian proverb. Wait trust me verifies a Russian proverb
which rhymes in Russian the phrase became internationally known in English after Suzanne Mancy a scholar Russian history taught it to Ronald Reagan
Then President of the United States who used it on several occasions in the context of nuclear disarmament discussions in the Soviet Union
Yeah, I mean it's more so probably because Ronald Reagan said it that they're saying it as well
What do the feds benefit for having Jackson on the payroll? Um, I mean it's super simple
It's much easier to undermine any sort of anti-imperialist thought if you
You make a prominent figure of anti-imperialism in the United States, a person who is belligerent
and has no tangible world view that anyone can associate with.
And also, you basically undermine any sort of solidarity, any sort of movement building
amongst the left on anti-imperialist boundaries.
It's certainly something that the American government has done before.
Yeah.
I mean, LaRouche is a great example of this, exactly.
Did it, LaRouche also have some U.S. state and or intelligence connections?
No, you were not mistaken.
You literally split a Communist Party in two.
I don't know what this is.
I haven't been following on Jackson Henkel's adventures.
long got a new haircut oh my fuck no no this is old chatters this is old he had
this before this is not new no this is a old photo I remember this are you gonna
react to the state of the union today of course I am Kings Americans economic
upside in the future of Ukraine that is a way better security guarantee than
20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40
years. Wow. The vice president who is as dumb as he's aggressive. That takes some doing because
Mr. Vice President, that's some random country that's not fought a war. That would be the United
Kingdom who stood up. I'm not gonna lie is pretty funny. When when British people get up in their
feelings about like, Americans being like you got no smoke alongside your troops in Iraq,
not once but twice and in Afghanistan. We're also talking about things over the
cities. All our shorts man. That's it. That's all I got to say. Okay.
Boy, brothers are offended. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty funny. Yeah. The Kyrstarmer
openly said after claiming that he was going to send troops to Ukraine to
defend Ukraine that they would be nothing without US support, that his
These statements would be meaningless without US support.
Oh, I saw this.
This is really funny.
Jesus, those haters are way too happy about the Hassan ban.
Holy shit.
Finally, Hassan Piker banned on Twitch.
Let's go.
Now he'll finally have to go outside.
Um, anyways, perma-ban, perma-ban, please, please, perma-ban.
That's so funny.
She thinks she's slick.
over there. I love this video. I saw it yesterday. Do you see your Gleeshaarches?
Dog treats cheap. Where is Squirrel? I can't read this one. Pure duck?
All right, let's keep going. Ukraine is about to continue fighting.
As Trump administers, pause the military aid there.
The president has taken a dramatic step to get President Zelensky of Ukraine to begin talks
on a ceasefire with Russia. Yesterday, President Trump put all U.S. aid to Ukraine on hold. They're
calling it a pause. U.S. military aid for Ukraine is critical as they fight a war that Vladimir Putin
started three years ago now. MTS Tyab is in Ukraine's capital, Kiev, with more on all this.
MTS, I can't imagine the mood there this morning. Good morning to you.
Yeah, a lot of nerves and a lot of uncertainty. Good morning, Tony. Well, a Ukrainian official
has told CBS News the Trump administration's suspension of military aid to Ukraine gives
the country only around six months before it starts running short of vital ammunition,
as the White House continues to pile pressure on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky
to pursue peace with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Following Friday's Oval Office shouting match heard around the world,
Don't tell us what we're going to feel.
The nightmare scenario for Ukraine has been revealed.
President Trump has announced the U.S. would pause billions of dollars in military assistance
to the Zelensky government.
Well, I just think he should be more appreciative because this country has stuck with them
through thick and thin.
We've given them much more than Europe.
The revelation has sent shockwaves across the war-battered country as Ukrainian morning
shows broke the news.
Mikhail Potoliak is a top advisor to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Can Ukraine defeat Russia without the support of the U.S. and President Trump?
What I can say for sure is that Ukraine will still fight, but I will ask you a question.
Would the U.S. be okay to stay on the sidelines when we need to stop Russian aggression?
And what does Russia want to do?
He wants to destroy the world that was built by previous American administrations.
It's a world these Ukrainian soldiers say they're trying to defend.
We were at a military trauma ward in Kiev for those injured on the battlefield.
Where we met Alexei, a grandfather and volunteer soldier in his 50s who was being treated
for shrapnel wounds to his leg and hips from a Russian shelling.
Alexei also suffered a war injury to his arm a year ago and still went back to fight.
So, you're going to keep fighting no matter what?
Of course, he says, for the sake of my granddaughter.
And as Ukrainian leaders grapple with what to do next, they will no doubt increasingly
turn to European partners who already provide just over 50 percent of the military assistance
Ukraine receives as Russia's war rages on.
Overnight, the Kremlin launched major drone strikes on the cities of Sumi and Odessa.
Tony.
MTS, I have for us in a nervous Ukraine this morning.
MTS, thank you very much.
Thank you.
Good morning, everybody.
Obviously, I'm here to talk about my friend, Bridge Colby.
I think he'll make a great, great policy lead at the Department of the Census, why
the president nominated him.
And I just wanted to be here to give a word of encouragement, a word of approval and just
lend my reputation to Bridges' confirmation because I think he's a really, really important
person for us to have at the Department of Defense.
We have gone for too long letting our industrial base get degraded, allowing our troops to
not even have the munitions that they need to fight the wars of the future.
President Trump really believes in peace through strength, but a core part of peace
through strength is ensuring that our troops have the weapons that they need in
in order to fight the next war, if God forbid, it necessarily comes.
So bridge is an important part of that defense policy.
I think the Senate will confirm them, and I'm glad to be here and speak on his behalf.
I'm having to take a few questions, if you guys have any.
Just follow me, for Ukraine.
What the President has said very clearly about our Ukraine policy is that he wants
the Ukrainians to come to the Biyoshan state.
We want the Ukrainians to have a sovereign and independent country.
We think the Ukrainian troops have fought very bravely, but we're what is that noise man at a point here?
We're neither Europe nor the United States nor the Ukrainians can continue this war indefinitely
So it's important that everybody comes to the table and the president is trying to send a very explicit message
The Ukrainians have got to the come to the table and start negotiating with President Trump
Do you believe that the mineral deal can still be reached with Ukraine?
Yeah, I certainly do and I think the president is still commision mineral deal
I think we've heard some positive things, but not yet of course a signature from our friends in Ukraine
But look the mineral deal is a really important part of the president's policy number one
The American people have got to get some payback for the incredible financial investment
We've made in this country a lot of the aid that the Europeans have sent has come in the form of
Money that is getting repaid to them
Well, it's really ridiculous and frankly an insult to the American people that the Europeans are getting a better deal
in the American people the president is just trying to sure dude I I don't like
that oh god it's so it's so wild that they just like keep they keep talking
about Americans are not getting a good deal like on the one hand I should be
excited at the prospect of them basically demonstrating the only thing
that they care about okay but on the other hand this also means that
Ukrainians are getting shafted in the process, like aggressively shafted in the process.
So I can't even sit here and gloat about being like, see, they don't care about anything. They
don't care about Ukrainian emancipation. And it's not unique to the Trump administration either.
It's just that the Democrats are better at, you know, masquerading as reasonable people
and actively making it seem as though they have an emancipatory interest here.
that the American people get a fair deal while simultaneously incurring we have
access to some minerals and resources that are very important for the economy
of the future. If the landscape changes, his posture, his focus, his greatness as
you guys have talked about, would there be a consideration of bringing the aid
back on, or is that an indefinite pause, a long-term pause? Look, the president
has been very clear he wants the Ukrainians to come to the negotiating
table. I think when the Ukrainians come to the negotiating table,
everything is on the table.
What about the pressure on Russia?
Look, I think the most important thing,
a lot of people have made this about public statements.
President Zelensky needs to
say that he's committed to the peace,
or President Zelensky needs to apologize to the president.
The public stuff doesn't matter
nearly as much as what are the Ukrainians
doing to meaningfully engage
on what a peaceful settlement would look like.
We need the Ukrainians privately
to come to us and say,
this is what we need,
This is what we want. This is how we're going to participate in the process to end this conflict.
That is the most important thing and that lack of private engagement is what is most concerning to us.
His face is not edited. That's his actual face.
On Ukraine, but not much pressure on Russia. Do you expect to do maybe more sanctions on Russia or any other steps to pressure both sides if you want to have them on a negotiation?
Well, I don't think that's right, actually.
I mean, we still have a number of sanctions
that are placed on the Russians.
We do believe that the Russians economically
are struggling because of this conflict.
We do believe that it's in Russia's best interest,
but also Ukraine and the United States' best interest
to bring this conflict to a close.
So we believe in applying pressure to everybody
to stop the killing because that's
what the president's policy is, and that's
what's in the best interest of the American people.
President, how do you understand?
As a deal being a long way away,
you just said that the Europeans came privately
to the negotiating table, I think the thing's moving.
What are we talking about timeline here?
How fast can we think back on it?
President Trump said that, or President Zelensky said that?
President, I believe that President Trump
had said characterize it as being a deal-bomb long-term.
So I know that President Zelensky said that,
but what I think the president has said
is that we can make a deal.
The Russians can't continue this thing forever.
The Ukrainians can't continue forever.
Most importantly, the United States
can't continue it forever.
Look, there are a lot of details to be worked out.
a lot of questions about territory, about everything else. We want to have that conversation.
We're not saying that we're committed to one pathway or another. We're just saying you
can't even bring the peace to the four.
Bro, America, the final stage of this is America invading Ukraine alongside Russia. You
mean like, yeah, no, you want a true presence? You got true presence. Okay. That's right.
I'm joking. They don't have nearly enough oil reserves for America to do such a thing.
Okay. America's literally gonna, America's literally gonna invade Ukraine and actually
start blowing up Ukraine at this point. What the hell? What are we doing?
front if the Ukrainians aren't willing to negotiate in good faith. And right now, they
haven't been able to, haven't been willing to, hopefully that changes.
Do you think that the European peacekeepers are a non-starter for the front?
Four GOP sources, Rubio. Four GOP sources, Rubio has told people he's upset by his lack
of foreign policy influence despite being the administration's top diplomat. One said
they felt as though Rubio is often the last to know when foreign policy decisions
are made in the White House. Amazing. Oh, you deserve it. You fucking bitch. I hate him.
Oh, Jesus Christ. I think this is more so to save face, by the way. It's just, I'm sure
he has more influence than he lets on, but he also recognizes that the final say is
completely out of his hands. So when they do embarrassing stuff like this and just
sits there with this face on, uh, basically he's just leaking to the media that like,
Oh, this is not my decision. I would be making very different decisions. If it were up to
me,
I would be realistically far from the solution or no,
I, I think if on his send me the full threat of JD events that it's like maybe 45 more
times, I probably will click on it on the 46th or 47th time. Probably no matter what
you do, don't stop sending me that link. Okay.
I don't speak for the Kremlin. I don't know what is a non-starter or not for the Kremlin.
I know that obviously, and we appreciate-
Holy moly.
Haplois, thank you for the 50 bones. 50 big ones. God damn.
God damn, hype train incoming.
Why, why, why, why, why?
If this, the British and the French have offered to step up in a big way.
That's very, very important.
But fundamentally-
If you subscribe, you can send me links like megafaunix is, okay?
And I most likely will not click on them,
But maybe, maybe I will, yeah, 99% of chatters stop sending links right before I click on
them.
Don't ever give up.
The question of what's a non-starter for this is a part of a negotiated settlement we have
to come to.
We can't even really start that negotiated process in earnest until the Ukrainians
led by President Zelensky come to the table.
We need to see from Canada in terms of...
Go ahead, man. Yeah.
Mr. Colby has said in the past that the U.S. could tolerate or contain a nuclear arm.
How does that consistent with the President's max inspection?
Well, number one, the President's been very clear he doesn't want to tolerate a nuclear arm, Duran.
And I don't know what Mr. Colby has written in the past,
but I'll say that every single person that we nominate to the position
is going to have at least one thing that they disagree with the President about.
That's okay, but the President's policy is extremely clear.
We cannot tolerate nuclear-
Thank you for the 20 guesses.
Especially in Iran, that will be the policy of the administration it has been, and it was during the first Trump administration.
What do you need to say to Canada to rule back these tariffs?
Look, the president's gonna have conversations-
I'm gonna be honest with you, Jedidiah Vance is so good at eating shit.
He is the perfect VP for Trump.
He would be-
He is the perfect vice president for Trump.
He has a way to communicate the liberals using like liberal language.
And he is more important than anything else, a rapacious ass-kisser.
Why has Europe not actually proposed a deal that would be accepted by both sides?
Let's be honest here about the reality of conflict.
Europe and the Democrats understand how this will end.
I think they're just not at the table.
It's probably why.
I suspect that they just don't have really a say in the process.
So they're kind of trying to, on the one hand deal with like the tariffs.
And on the other hand, trying to deal with what the American administration's current
foreign policy attitudes are with the Canadians, we need to see real engagement on the fentanyl
issue on the drug issue.
That is fundamentally the underlying element of the United States.
You need to subscribe to the Chinese YouTuber that hit the algorithm and he's amazing.
Very wholesome content from a nice guy.
I love that.
Katan, thank you for the 25.
Get the subs.
train, level seven achieves.
How's am is we think the Canadians have not been serious about strut stopping the drug
trade. Now people will sometimes say, well, if you look at the numbers, the Mexicans send
way more fentanyl into the United States than the Canadians do. The Canadians have
allowed a lot of fentanyl to come into the country.
Wait, what is this? You're not going to believe how the hogs are defending Trump tariffs.
Oh, come on chat. Take a day off chatter. God damn it. I got so excited. It was
salivating at the prospect of a hog watch moment. The British tabloids tomorrow, less
tea forgets.
Roe is Trump holds military aid to Ukraine. US Vice President accused of insulting our
dead. Trump deputies vile slur on Brit heroes.
Vance Land? Oh my God. Oh my Lord. But 636 of our troops died in Afghanistan and
Iraq fighting alongside the U.S. Clown vences slur on 636 war heroes, blundering U.S. Vice
Presidents as Britain is not fought a war in 40 years. British media so hostile. Yeah,
get them. Let them fight. It's a real let them fight. It's a real let them fight moment
because like both parties are, uh, both parties involved in this are just demons
in their own, in their own right. Okay. Let them, let them fight each other. Let them
eat each other out. Yeah. You heard me. You heard what I said. Oh, meanwhile, um, watch
you for like a month, great content and very comforting during the political fuckers that's
been happening. Glad to see you on band and slightly convinced that the band was
for your politics and not what you actually said. No, I think the band was valid. I,
I, like it's very obvious what the argument that I was making was not a call to action in terms of assassinating a sitting American Senator and instead was to talk about the hypocrisy, but I should have used a different, I should have used a different term instead of saying kill.
I should have said like nuke.
Yeah, it's understandable that they would be strict about that 100%.
I definitely as I said in my video, I definitely take ownership over that for sure
No, not even like in a video game. I shouldn't I just shouldn't have said kill. I should have said
Punish that's it, but it's obvious that I'm not like it's obvious for anyone that's
Paying attention to what I'm saying
They everybody understands. I'm not talking about like literally
Mike Johnson going out hearing what I'm saying and then going out and executing Rick Scott.
It was valid until I saw multiple clips of other streamers saying things along the lines
of I hope you die. Yes, there are a lot of right wing content creators out there and
a lot of people that recognize that even showing a little bit of allegiance to right
wing sentiment will get you some clout. And that is precisely the reason why a lot of
people will go, yeah, this guy sucks. I hate him. Convoy of age. Yeah. Meanwhile, I mean,
it's actually been pretty good. I'll say it's worked. As many gold is yet to be banned
for saying Slicker should kill himself multiple times a few years ago. I mean, yeah, that's
not going to happen. The statute of limitation is passed. Also, it's not happening because
enough people are not going to make a big fuss about it. That's usually how it goes.
You've upset the vets. Yeah, I saw this one's really funny. I got a seven day ban for calling my
friend's girlfriend, the F slur during a stream where we raised 100k for veteran families.
Why are you doing that? Not a single person's like, why did you do that? That's a weird thing
to do by that argument. It's always political for you. What do you mean? Bro, move on. Let
people heal from their old mistakes. They've got plenty of new ones to choose from. My language
was related where a VTuber got banned for seven days for humping an MPC in Bloodborne. Yeah, but
the thing that I don't understand is if they got banned for silly things,
it's weird when they're, it's weird when people's advocacy, it's weird when people's advocacy is
like, no, like it'll be better if other people get banned for longer. Like no, you should be
advocating for your streamer to not get banned for seven days, not vice versa. You know what I mean?
Like, how was that my fault? Do people unironically think I run Twitch or something? I think some
people do. It's very strange with some very notable exceptions. I've rarely ever advocated for a
permanent ban on people at all. Like, there are, there are some people who are, you know,
Doxers and cereal swatters and whatnot. And yeah, I don't, I mean, I think those people in their communities are, are not just
Insane to unbanned, but like it's objectively harmful to the entire space of streaming
It is pretty funny though
That uh, you know asmigol says a bunch of crazy stuff
On a daily basis and is also simultaneously demanding that like a higher band hammer get
a higher band hammer be struck on someone like myself.
I've seen Baldman Gold say he'd rather have school shootings
in guns than no school shootings in no guns
and not a single clip was made.
Yeah, it's more so, it's very difficult
to parse through a lot.
Like when you're talking about eight to 10 hours every day,
it's very difficult to figure out
like what a person has said
that might be a violation of term service.
I luckily have a metric ton of haters so they can immediately clip any moment, often times
clip moments directly out of context to also demand I get banned for shit that I'm not
even advocating for.
underscore u.s. left to streamer son piker appears to appears bad from twitch after saying quote if
you cared about medicare fraud you would kill rick scott okay she's just reporting
the news how do you get banned from that i mean it's a joke it's just a joke you know first of all
it's also known it's completely nonsensical because you'd have to go back in time to prevent rick scott
from committing a Medicare fraud, right? Yeah, you can do a post talk or after the
fact, but it wouldn't stop setting. Oh, you do it as a punishment. I'm not for
capital punishment. So exactly. Neither am I to be fair. If the joke is funny, it's
not banable, just my opinion. I agree. Thank you. I thought comedy was legal
now. I go back in time and save Huey P long or it will be better just saying
What is this?
Well, that he's too Ethan Klein criticized the song for saying he's closely incarcerated firefighters in Elon Musk
Well at the same time not knowing how much they get taken advantage of a saying they shouldn't push for more pays quite disgusting behavior horrible
Why are they going through older?
Older videos of mine like there is
Ethan now anti paying incarcerated firefighters more like what the fuck's happening? Oh, no
He's going full-sex Pestini. He's just assuming whatever position I have. He's he's just gonna assume the exact opposite
Is this all they do on their broadcast like what the fuck?
What a what a strange obsession man
He's just like yeah, no, it sounds for Medicare for all fuck that. I'm against it
Yeah, I hate that aren't you afraid of legal actions taken against you for what I hope you guys understand
And yes, if I actively called for the assassination of a sitting US president or a sitting US senator, I would literally get a stern talking to by secret service.
Like it's fairly obvious what I said in that process for what you said, I know was a joke, but no, I wasn't.
Oh my God, it's fine.
They dox people on their show too, don't forget.
I know that was also crazy.
He freaked out on Dan and started saying Dan was acting like you.
Yeah, I like that I'm Trump's palestinian as a pejorative.
Ethan uses Hasan as a pejorative.
It's weird.
I don't want to watch this.
And I don't understand why anybody would, to be fair.
Slow chat, please.
Do you see XC called out Dan Clancy after he saw your tweet about him?
What did he say?
Is he crying that I called him a snake?
That's pretty funny.
After spending years and years claiming that I was fucking him over and demanding that
I get a longer ban, anyway, XC has fallen in the rookie hole.
Yeah.
Israel blocks all entry of humanitarian aid in Nagaza.
Lutherans, pro-Hamas mobs with arrest and deportation. Fantastic. Fantastic stuff in general.
And then I'll talk about the stalker incident before we get to obviously later in the day.
The Donald Trump, the Donald Trump fake state of the union that's not a state of the union.
There's also this guy, this, this Nazi who has been unmasked and lo and behold, shockingly
it seems he is a paid phone allegedly. Nathan Grayson also wrote a article on my band. Let's
see what it was about.
The Twitch streamer is not the problem. Don't take the bait by Nathan Grayson. Yesterday
a son house, I would probably get the biggest leftist political streamer and one of the
few progressive voices, the rival, the right small army of endless aggrieved attack
dogs was suspended from Twitch. The cause during a broadcast last week,
Piker suggested that if House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans were serious,
were as serious about Medicare and Medicare fraud as they claimed,
they would kill a current U S Senator former CEO who oversaw the department of justice called
the largest healthcare fraud in U S history instead of elevating him to the upper echelons
of the party. This is notable not because of Piker's suspension, but because of how people,
especially other content creators ended up framing the larger issue. Not long after
Piker made his incendiary statement last week, the outrage machine kicked in the overdrive
with the likes of actual violence encourager, Libs of TikTok, bomb threats follow Libs of
TikTok's campaign against planet fitness. And also Libs of TikTok has done bombing campaigns on
children's hospitals, which is the most insane, like children's hospitals got
bomb threats after they were, uh, they were put in the crosshairs of Libs of TikTok.
You're a bad person at that point. You know what I mean? There's no other way to put it. Anyway,
and rebranded while streamer, Azmin cold, who unsurprisingly did not turn over a new leaf
following his own suspicion for a 2024 races ran against Palestinians clutching their pearls of
what they suggested was a violent threat against Scott numerous others across Twitter and YouTube.
Some connected to the longer term effort to the platform, Piker and pro-Palestinian
streamers. Others not took up their call for suspended Piker a few days later.
After just one day, Piker's suspension has concluded. And other usual suspects like Tim
Poole are acting like Twitch is turning a blind eye to murder. Never mind that Piker
did not suggest viewers should harm Scott. He remarked that Johnson and other high ranking
Republicans would do it if they stood by their state of principles. An idea so far
outside the realm of possibility as to be on its face absurd.
My statement was hyperbolic. Piker said in a YouTube video addressing the suspension
today, but the intention of it was not a call, was not a call to violence directly
against the sitting senator. But instead it was to show the hypocrisy of the
Republican party in terms of how little they truly care about Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
Because that happens at the point of the provider and not necessarily at the point of the recipients.
They want to cut Medicare and Medicaid for the recipients to the tune of 800 billion.
And in order to justify that, they will do everything in their power to lie and claim
that it's actually your grandparents that are stealing from Medicare and not people
like Rick Scott.
Piker, who back in 2019 found himself in hawala over a similarly decontextualized
remark that a market deserve 9-11 resolved to use more deliberate, more careful language
in the future.
Probably a smart move, though, as Piker observed in his video.
going to be perfect 100% of the time when they're live, day in and day out, going back
and forth with the contentious chat, all while creators espousing right-wing viewpoints,
which often explicitly or implicitly advocate for violence against immigrants and trans
people are held to vastly different standards. What is this one? Oh, Nick has been spewing
anti-trans rudder for months, but he's only now facing consequences. That's true.
Also more importantly, the streamer drama portion of the story barely matters. The
The problem piker pointed to during the stream that got him suspended, a former CEO of a healthcare
company that copped a record 1.7 billion of fines going on to dodge material consequences,
walk away with 10 million in severance and 300 million in stock options have become
a U.S. Senator, is an issue of so much more consequences than piker's word choice
that these things are not remotely comparable.
It is the range that millions of people are getting their news from creators who
act like a damn Twitch streamer using harsh language to state documented facts
is where the story starts and ends, rather than the halls of actual power.
We're all being robbed. It's as clear as day.
There was an alleged murder about it and many people sided with the alleged
murderer. Think about why political pundits and content creators might now
be incentivized to muddy the waters, especially when healthcare is concerned.
Think about how they might stand to benefit from your distraction,
even as normal people's material circumstances degrade by the day.
Think about how platforms make themselves complicit by algorithmically
favoring outrage and drama dog piles over discussion that threatens the
status quo.
Anybody who frames his conflict in any other way, who suggests different stakes or a different
central cast of characters is either deeply unserious or outlawing to you.
Do not listen to them.
Odds are they are trying to rob you, too.
Yeah.
Bars.
Ah.
W article.
Even Klein, Asmongold, and XT have been promoting Dazbulla through an ex-account called Yeet.
I exposed their Nazi troll farm in this thread.
The group's threads violent hate speech and organizes harassment campaigns.
Yeah, I know
Not only do they call themselves the dala ban destinies
Destiny's community is segmented into both the dala ban and now I guess the does bull lover gates or whatever
and
Yes, they are a bunch of groipers and like fortune Nazis and shit, and they regularly
Yeah, this this account is like literally a stalker of mine by the way a stalker of mine and
and many other female content creators on Twitch,
kind of like that one fucking random stalker
that went up to Sina and Valkyrie and Emeru,
like that level of stalker went into the Destiny community,
got a lot of prominence in Destiny's audience
for constantly clipping shit
and now has rebranded himself as TMZ for streamers
and people don't even know that.
Yeah. It's, it's a stalker that is known in this community, by the way, a stalker who
climbed the ranks of LSF and now has an LSF Twitter. Yeah. Literally. Can you imagine this
dude? We have the Ock 2000 or 20,000. We have banned probably thousands of accounts
of his. Yeah. The Poke Hasan stalker. Yeah. And now he on ironically has become a LSF,
LSE poster. Isn't that crazy? We have banned thousands of stock accounts of his.
This is the guy that Richie Torres follows too, by the way. Yeah, video of Asman defending the
stalker threat, a threat exposing Dasvala Nazi troll farm targeting Arab and Muslim streamers.
Why y'all got to make this always about race? Like y'all always about make this
shit about race and shit. Like, what do you mean? It's N words for Palestine is what they were
posting. What do you mean? Why y'all gotta always make this about race? They made it about
race. Is Esmond Gold criticizing this account or what's he criticizing?
Exactly. No, like making this shit about me. Always making this shit about me. It's nuts.
What if Twitch is racist though? It's what they get. Major schizo energy. I think so
too. When anyone asks why people hate Hassan, this should be his reason. The people who
hate Hassan, are you okay siding with these people? Jesus. Oh my God. Oh, wow, wow.
the break and a little bit confused. Like what is this, the admin, the knots?
I don't think, I don't think as we go, I understand that when he enters the realm of politics,
like people that have been doing this to me will eventually do this to him as well.
Like right now he thinks cucumber right now, right now he thinks that like, Oh, because
you know, I'm anti Hassan, then that's fine. Right? Like they won't come after
me. They will. They came, they're after
destiny too. Half of them have literally turned around and are now ripping into destiny. These
guys are just in it for the fun. That's it. Like you will eventually also become their target.
They'll always hate me the most. Let's be, let's be real, but
this guy got a copy strike on his account from pirate software that put a mark on his account.
I suggest all content creators do the same and get his account closed for harassment.
I don't think it was pirate software that uh, copy strike them. I think it was a false copy strike
I think your you duty really affected him
Oh my god, like what what is this?
Holy fuck like every why
What are you doing? I'm not going to cry a fucking river when people who have genocide that's baked into their laws
Are getting genocided
The group marks their children speds violent hate
Yeah, they they just say like uh incredibly racist shit
Destiny and Dan Selman working with Azman Gold and XT to promote their racist troll farm after getting banned on Twitter.
It's a crime. Destiny, Dan Selman. Who else is there out there that is pushing the fuck Hassan narrative?
There has to be more of us. Is there more of us?
Well, it's happening organically.
Organically.
He relies on Hassan as a crazy person. Yeah.
He is a bad guy. I am so happy that I could be part of this movement to destroy this.
this yeah he's like he's like it's organic because it even destiny understands that dan
is giving the game away because he's a fucking dumbass he's like no no no this is organic
it's an organic movement of people who just think it's not as crazy he's a terrorist motherfucker
and i also want to say that this rise in extremism and this rise in extremist right
yeah he straight up linked the the dan salman tweet because eventually somebody will say
something will this be the time it probably won't be the time but eventually somebody will
say something and it's going to get mainstream attention to a degree that it's going to damage
twitch on a massive level I'm not going to cry a fucking river when people who anyway um
this Nazi cucumber group is the is the group's admin it's uh it's followed by day and salt
many yeet more and yeet later these cucumber spends spends its days tweeting out calls for
for violence and mass murder against Arabs slash Muslims. And then switches back to his
all to attack and words for Palestine.
That's below as most active soldiers in a count called Yeat, who pretends to be TMC
for tumors, but is actually a decibel a mod. Yeat curates misleading clips, they encourage
harassment and is promoted by asthma gold, XT, Ethan Klein and their respective communities.
Yeah. Don't be fooled by East attempt to appear innocuous. Yeat is a decibel a mod who
follows the Nazi cucumber. Their goals to harass tumors that criticize Israel, especially
Arab slash Muslims. If they don't get their way, their aim is to destroy Twitch as a platform.
Twitch is a corrupt site of lunatics running the asylum. It needs to either
implode or get completely gutted and rebuilt. While day of settlement into a lesser extent,
Ethan calling out sponsors, accelerated the timetable. The end game for Twitch was always
the apocalypse. A productive day operatives catch me later. I'll buy you a beer strike
target updates. Congratulations operatives. We are reporting positive outcomes. They like
LARP as though they're doing like a Psyop. Don't be... Oh my god. So it's a very sad
way to... Ben is shy now, but he was talking a whole lot when he threatened to destroy anyone
who criticized Desbelar worse. Anyone who dared to criticize Destiny's alleged sex crimes.
If you're some fucking one of my coworkers out there and you're making a little bit of
a strong statement about how much you condemn Destiny and everything else, you better
not fucking find you doing something else and signing some other bullshit off for
someone else all this is just virtue signaling fucking bullshit okay it's
like because it's like oh oh god sharing news okay I'm out of here immediately
right like fuck who's on right fuck everyone is using this as a as a jumping
off point to like try and make their side when you might my haters are not
unwell okay let me tell you not remotely not my haters are not doing
well they are very unwell don't capture you in 4k being a virtue
signaling time that, you know, don't capture that event for many of these people.
I will I will fucking destroy you if that's the case. But I've been thinking
about for the Twitch thing, I might actually just go find every person that
said something like, you know, Clancy is never gonna leave, nothing burger by the
way. I think I may find every single one of these people and round them up.
I just, I'm going to leave it there. My fellow, uh, orators or coworkers, if you're some fucking one of my coworkers out there, and
He was also actively trying to dox people who used to be in destiny's community who are no longer in his community
because of, um
because of the the destiny
cyber sex, uh sex past saga
You know sharing uh with other people with other people that he wants to have sex with uh videos that he took
some consensually, some unconcensually, allegedly, you know, the, the revenge porn saga that he's
going through, people that were upset at destiny, Dan has been actively trying to,
excuse me, said this, yeet guy seems unbiased by his reporting. By the way, yeah, because
excuse me, also is a destiny dick writer. What do you mean? That's it. You know, it is what it is.
Everyone, please do your part in exposing these violent races in their thinly disguised
disinfo slash harassment operation. There's many people out there who don't know the truth about
these streamers slash accounts are susceptible to the underhanded tactics after our first exposed
yeet for as a front for Desbole as Nazi troll farm. He quickly tried to cover tracks by removing
his mob position too late. The evidence has already been saved. The owner of that community
made me a mod on their own accord. You're reaching so hard law. I found out I'm not a mod from
your tweet. I'm a mod from your tweet and just remove myself again. I have no posting in
there. Nice try on the canceling though. Go back to 2015. Honor I mentioned Nicholas
the area and will you make sure yeet followers who supported this below this info and harassment
campaigns both are desi orbiters who try to distance themselves the thing is I don't think
this guy is getting paid to do any of this shit I think he does it because he's just
like a very mentally ill a deeply deeply mentally ill stalker by the way like the
amount of accounts of this guy that we have banned in this community and in many other
communities because he's just like very clearly a mentally oscar is shocking it is truly shocking
that destiny brought him into his community and made him a prominent part of his community in general
yeah he goes after all of my friends anyone who is yeah he's active in all the schizo
So discords, like this person is exactly the same.
This person is exactly the same fucking person that was stalking, uh, emerald in them.
He originally comes from Destiny's community.
That's where a stalker came from.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I thought he, I didn't know that he was, uh, initially from that community.
I thought he was just like a, like an outsider stalker that entered his community.
Same exact type of person.
the same person, but same exact type of person. Like, yeah, I'm not saying it's the same person.
It's the same type of person. Make no mistake. I'm sure they'll like try to clip that out of
context as well. But there are a lot of, there are, the reality of the matter is
is there are a lot of, there are a lot of people like this who just like actively try to stir
up drama. And that is what they, like the satisfaction they get is like when people recognize them,
recognize their existence. This is how I used to harass your tweets all the time back
in the day while trying to ship you with other streamers so we could harass them as
well. How did they switch up and become approved by so many streamers is unbelievable to
me because streamers, there are a lot of streamers who are dog shit, like straight up. That's it.
Myself included. Like I am not, I am not the best person either. You know what I mean?
I also have a lot of narcissistic tendencies. Like this is something that I voluntarily,
this is something that I recognize. It is what it is. And these people love playing
that role of just like actively obsessing over a person.
No, this was earlier clip of Bonerchelly saying he was going to pay these people, then Yeet
went on to fuel Dee's podcast, aka the fuck Hassan hour.
I don't know if he's actually getting paid, but who cares?
I mean, it is what it is.
There's not really much you can do about it.
Did you hear the latest news?
Dee hired Prince Andrews lawyer.
I don't know if you have extra cash that guy is expensive.
Wait, what?
Prince Andrews lawyer.
This is a stalker I saw who made the weird Reddit threads
about all the female streamers who appeared on your stream.
Yes, that's him.
He's the one who constantly ships me
with every female content creator
and just like over and over again, posts about it.
He was the one who would always like post my address
under all of my replies too, I think,
or that might be a different skit.
So yeah, there is definitely a group of these people
Discord that all just like to actively stock a lot of content creators, but especially female content creators
When it was lords Andrew Brettler who was a partner in the firm that defended Prince Andrew and Bill Cosby Jesus Christ
Different dude. Do you know how many fucking stars I have I have a lot of fucking stalkers
Every content creator does
Especially Twitch streamers chat. All right, let's talk about it
As I was talking about earlier today, Emeru, Valkyrie, Sina, Emily, and Rosie were at the
Santa Monica Pier. Valkyrie and Sina have been doing a Cicathon, which was supposed to go for seven
days. In the process of them doing this Cicathon, they were targeted by a stalker in person.
From what I understand, he came up to Emeru first. I believe he actually came up to them
in a positive manner initially and took photos with them and then changed his outfit
and then came back and was harassing them after they got off the Ferris wheel for a photo
or during the Ferris game. Thank you. Oh god, yes, I did see. Sing for a change.
A change for the better? Is he saying the quarter number? Oh, why did I get your number?
I don't have a phone.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Wait, so I'm just gonna, I'm gonna keep falling here.
Huh?
I got a father boy.
That's not how you really risk.
Oh, bro, what the fuck?
Get behind me.
All right.
So, I think Emily is the only one here at this stage that understands the severity of the situation.
These are my friends.
events. They get approached like this all the time. So they basically are, they think it's
like a, like a weird fan interaction. They shouldn't be familiar with this process. But
of course, I think being a woman, especially in this space, they get this a lot more than
you would think. Yeah. This is from earlier in the day when you had a different outfit
when he took a photo with them. Apparently when he initially took photos with them and
then later and and Valkyrie is trying to deescalate, keep things humorous. You know, Kendrick,
Can we all get churros?
Kendrick, add it into the list.
Thank you for coming in, ladies.
Thank you so much.
See you tomorrow and take care.
Can we get churros or no?
Yes, right here.
Oh.
Oh, I feel awesome.
I get to go from the vendors.
Ooh, it might be better with the vendors.
I didn't see any churro vendors though.
Did you?
There is one.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you want some sunglasses?
You like me?
Incognito time. Stand behind me.
I don't like... I'm gonna keep following her. Where's your little block? I'm in the lighter.
Also, yes, this is a great example of how women have to try to play down the rejection because they're fucking scared to say no because of
the potential for physical repercussions.
interactions. Also important to note there. The thing is, sometimes awkward interactions
that can turn into really weird interactions, that can even turn into dangerous interactions
can happen in the process of live streaming. Okay, as someone who does a lot of IRL streams,
I have also had my fair share of these sorts of experiences.
So what you're supposed to do in that process is basically behave a certain way,
like nothing wrong is happening.
Okay.
Because you don't want under any circumstance to think that this is like to,
to basically give in, in some ways to the para social stalkers interaction.
There are a lot of people who do this.
This is part of the reason why they swat streamers.
It's a part of the reason why they docks streamers as well,
because they want to change the dynamic of the stream.
And if you even in any way, shape, or form react to it,
then it gives them the satisfaction almost.
It's a very weird dynamic.
and basically every streamer, no matter how small,
especially female streamers, know exactly what this is like.
We don't talk about this side of the industry deliberately,
okay?
Because you don't want other people
to engage in copycat behavior,
but it is a constant.
That's why I have said time and time again that the only person, the only people that
I know they get actively cyber-stocked and harassed, maybe even more than myself actually,
are just regular female streamers.
It doesn't matter how big or small.
You can be a female streamer with 30 fucking followers and you will have a stalker.
It's insane.
This is one of the major hurdles for this industry, and this is part of the reason why
so many of you most rumors have to deal with all of these extra things that they can't even
actively and openly talk about.
Other than myself, Law, I mean, should I not?
Should I not volunteer this information?
I'm currently giving you a little bit of extra background about how this stuff works.
Do you think that I'm lying is a very big content creator on this platform, especially
one that speaks about politics eight hours a week?
Do you think I don't have fucking stalkers?
Are you insane?
I just did a, like our introduction to this conversation literally began with other
cyber stalking communities that operate within discords, that operate within telegram
channels that actively seek out streamers sometimes physically.
You would never be able to tell it's her.
I know I was excited for him to sing a song and then he pulled out a block twist.
he made eye contact like, what's he doing?
Oh, damn it, maybe you would take people to the hospital.
Your starters don't have to sexually assault you, though. I'm not going to say anything.
But all I'm going to say is there is a lot that I'm not going to speak on in terms of my
own personal experiences, okay? But all you should know about this is you don't fucking know anything.
What streamers have talked about here, what streamers have revealed about this, this,
and this was an accidental reveal, by the way, because most streamers will usually
shut the camera off. But in this situation, I think it was more so a matter of safety.
Okay, but everything that you've heard from other streamers since this happened is
Not even the tip of the fucking iceberg. Okay
This is the dark side of twitch streaming that people
Understandably don't talk about even LSF has a policy of not posting this kind of shit
it, not posting swaddings and not posting doxings, because even they know that it encourages
even, they know it encourages copycats. Also, yeah, there are people like Nick Paulman,
Wake Wilder that got literally sexually assaulted on stream at TwitchCon by a fucking stalker.
I'm a female and nothing shimmering. My husband's ex joined my community. Our fake
person has been apparently stalking us for five plus years. A bit different, but
So he's swimming now. Yeah.
Maybe we should just go.
Oh, yeah, maybe we should.
Yeah, yeah. He's, uh, he's, you know, he's getting a little closer.
That's a...
Oh.
I think we're just gonna go.
at that point he approaches them and emily you know faces the stalker and is
like actively telling him to fuck off and they try to get help from security
He starts banging on trash cans and apparently told them that he was going to kill them, okay.
And kept putting his hands in his pockets. No, not extra Emily. Emily is Ray's assistant.
Security, please, please. Yeah, right there he said, I'll kill you right now.
So then they hit the, you know, the traveling sign in order to obviously not show the rest of it.
And from what I understand, they basically, they basically waited for the cost to come.
I don't think, I mean, I don't know what this person, like, I don't know what has happened since then to this person.
But I'm sure they'll explain the rest of this in this video because after that, they were
understandably traumatized by the incident, so they didn't want to continue.
QT Cinderella, who also has her fair share of experiences with this, said, the worst
part is now you go to the police and they won't do anything about it.
You try to file a report.
They tell you to do it online.
You do it online.
They reject it.
Rinse and repeat.
There is no help.
It's terrifying.
My heart goes out to everyone involved.
The violation of numerous crimes, by the way, like what took place here, obviously, you
have stalking, you have active death threats, things of that nature, and just nothing comes
of it.
Partially because, partially nothing comes of it because cops don't understand it, they
just don't understand the process.
Like they don't understand what live streaming is, they're older, they don't understand
most normies also don't understand like the parasocial nature
of streaming. One thing that piss me off when cops are out there arresting anyone
and everyone after the luigi shit was that it shows that police can and will do
something when it comes to billionaires online harassment but heaven forbid they
do it for women or streamers who are getting stalked. Yeah
one thing i want to point to is is i promise you you do not understand
you do not know how commonplace this is that's number one
it's incredibly commonplace for virtually every twitch streamer
every live streamer in general, but it is even more so and more overwhelming for female live streamers
no matter how large or small. But the other thing that I want to expand on, on top of that, is that
this kind of attitude is egged on by a shit ton of psychopathic right-wing anti-women
content creators as well. There are the andrutates of the world and then there is like the whatever
podcast, you know what I mean? Like Keemstar and the like that actively egg on these fucking weirdos.
Okay. They don't tell them that this kind of behavior is completely inappropriate,
completely unacceptable, only until it's far too late. And the reason why I talk about
about Keemstar here is because days prior to this, a couple of days before Keemstar was
actively shitting on these girls. Okay. Talking about how like, Oh, they're getting owned.
These poke main clones or whatever the fuck they streamers get owned. Female streamers
get owned by a person who says that they're not, that they're not doing enough to make
content like Kaisen at or whatever. A couple of days prior to the stalker, not to say
that this stalker directly is, is getting their notes from the likes of fucking keemstar. There's
dude in the goons running, running that page of taking the entire past week to shit on
these female members for zero reason and foster community hates the word them that can add
the shit like this happening. Not saying this event is directly related, but the irony here
is crazy. Yeah. Not saying this is your fault, but you and other clip accounts are certainly
not innocent when it comes to inciting misogyny and harassment against these women. Yeah.
Seen a complaining about doing basic work while also trying to downplay Kaisen as
success clown. Pokemon and her clones are starting to get called out for their behavior.
I was fighting for an SJC, claims that they scripted this for threatening her life. Like
these guys are disgusting. Yeah, they do it to frogan all the fucking time too. I know
Sean the black had a really good take on this. This happening right after a campaign of
paint these shimmers as untalented and low effort creators is not a coincidence. These
These guys are fucking soulless, okay? Irredeemable monsters who simply just want to cause as much
drama and as much controversy as possible, especially against people like Sina, Pokimane,
Valkyrie, like they actively try to stay out of drama, okay? They actively stay away
from it, okay? And by virtue of just them being fucking women, people constantly whip
up the drama drums over and over again. And worst of all, until a moment like this happens,
okay, until a moment like this happens, most of the people who also play a role in this,
other content creators who also play a role in this by hyping these fucking dips like
keemstar up will then turn around and be like, Oh, how could this have happened?
It's like, bro, you played a role in this.
Like what the fuck are you talking about?
That's what's like unique about this back in the day.
This kind of stuff was just simply relegated to like weird online forums.
Nowadays it's moved beyond simply online forums and are actively are actively
hyped up by literal right-wing content critters for all the way from
Keemstar to the Andrew Tates of the fucking world, the whatever podcast, the fresh and fit podcast,
like this is how they make money. They have entire Twitter communities now, especially with the
insane way that Twitter has become this like right-wing shithole. They have entire fucking
Twitter communities that are dedicated to doing stuff like this. The four channelification
of the rest of the internet is here. So look, and there are still people in here. Look,
So one freak stream sniper equals men bad law. No, this has never been acceptable. Some of the freaks on the internet aren't even relevant to most people
Dog, why are you self-reporting? I'm a man. What the fuck are you talking about? I'm not even just talking about men in general
Okay
I female stalkers too, bitch
Shut the fuck up
But yes, if you think that women don't have it worse, you are delusional. Okay
That's number one. Number two the reason why women have it worse and the reason why
Like everyday average women that aren't content creators or aren't fucking famous are also going through this too
With very little repercussions. How do you not understand?
Go talk to a woman in your life. Go talk to your mom
Tell her to recount an experience that she's had like this. I promise you she probably has had an experience like this
okay
Where she didn't entertain the advances of some fucking loser and then that loser took it
in a very weird way and
Got incredibly aggressive
If you see someone say men are creeps and you feel offended yourself reporting exactly. I need you to understand. Okay?
This kind of shit is super commonplace
And there is virtually nothing law enforcement can do about it. Okay?
nothing this was on video and there are still people who were like is this
script dude okay so gets it I literally can find a single streamer
reacting to this whose chat wasn't saying super shit is so sad and I saw it
having live stuff like that makes you want to go to school to be a cop well
you ain't you'll be too busy stopping innocent people that just run through
stop sign just said I actually doing something about that so there's no
point. They don't care about that. They just care about the dude that ran the stop sign
or went five mile an hour over the speed limit. They don't care about that. Oh my God. What
you mean? What the f... That's an amazing take from KZO. Holy shit. Buddy, trust me.
Trust me. They do not care about that. Okay, beef squashed. Beef squashed with KZO.
He is an official big boy status again. They don't have to be streamers. Just
a female with a mic and or opinion. No, they don't even have to have a microphone. Bro,
female accountants go through this shit at their workplace or at a fucking bar. You just
have to be a woman. The reason why this is so goddamn commonplace with seemingly no fix
to it is because people just take it as the norm. Okay. There's really, really horrible
education surrounding this and it's accelerated for the worst in the past couple of years
with like a lot of right-wing content creators who actively take on this issue from the most
right-wing slant that they possibly can. Okay? People just say like, oh, all women do is lie.
All women lie. All women are bitches. All this shit. It's creating an environment where
some people inevitably take matters in their own hands.
I hate random stuff like that to people who don't deserve it.
Bro, they're walking around streaming, having fun.
And you got some straight goober, by the way.
I'm talking straight goober.
I seen that dude.
You want to talk about a goober.
Like, bro, what is wrong with you, man?
Bro, don't be weird, bro.
It ain't hard to not be bro.
You know what blows me away on top of that even more?
Bro, the easiest thing in the world is to be a normal person.
Yeah.
I don't understand.
Actually.
How you get to the mental capacity to even think to do,
not only think to do something like that,
but to actually physically do it.
You know what I think?
You can call it overkill.
I think somebody who has the capability to do something like that
should not only go to jail, but go to jail forever.
Just be gone forever.
Straight up.
Straight up. If you're a young man, okay, who simply doesn't understand how commonplace this is,
I urge you to talk to your sister, if you have one, or your mother, just any woman that you are
friends with, okay. It is incredibly commonplace. And no, women aren't fucking lying about it.
But there's obviously a gray area in interpersonal relations within men and women, between men
and women.
Okay?
There are some gray areas.
And I understand being a guy growing up in this space and not being able to figure out
exactly how to deal with this dynamic.
You find someone cute.
You find them attractive.
You want to tell them how you feel about it and you're, you're afraid of coming
across like a fucking creep, and then you just hold it in forever. Or you end up, um,
you end up revealing this information. Maybe they respond to you negatively, and then you
start developing resentment, uh, and that resentment grows, and then you seek out
like-minded individuals, and you find yourself a home in one of these fucking spaces online.
This is very dangerous. Okay? This is very dangerous for you, because you become a
dangerous person to everyone around you. This is why I always say be fucking normal. I got
understand how this kind of resentment towards women across the board fester and grow. Okay?
I was a fat dude growing up. I get it. I understand. But guess what?
You can't make other people's problems. You have to seek within yourself and work to fix
whatever fucking issues you have and I do get very upset very frustrated with
people that don't try to break this cycle so I'm very appreciative of people like
KZO who are just like not leaving any room for this kind of thing okay my mom's
a diverse attorney she had a Jehovah's Witness daughter for years this person
will call my mom's personal number telling that she was going to hell and
needed to repent for her sins of doing divorces they will call her on her
office number they would follow her on her walk to the courthouse it got
So bad at one point I remember my dad having the chaperone my mom whenever she was walking somewhere the cops never did anything when she tried to report it
So fat shame yourself. You'll be fine. Is that what I said? Why are you so fucking?
Dude, I love I love that. I'm talking about mental illness and you just came up with the most mentally ill response
To what I was saying and you're spamming it too. You thought you had a banger in the in the tank
You were like this is my banger. I he needs to see this
like shut the fuck up that's not what I'm saying okay you couldn't even respond to what I said what
was what you said if people say women won't stop lying you get offended yourself reporting is the
same argument you just made a few minutes ago but flipped around dog how do we go back to the
how do we go back to the drawing board and explain to you that mis-injury and misogyny are
not the same because misogyny is associated with systemic violence and also deeply personalized
individual violence as well in the normalization of said violence, whereas mis-injury is not.
Okay? That is the dynamic. That is the difference between someone saying,
oh, let's have a gay pride parade versus why no straight pride parade? Why are you,
why are you being a anti-het, anti-heterosexual? Why are you against heterosexual behavior?
You are aggressively coming after me for being a breeder, a heterosexual.
Things can be different.
You don't have to rob everything of its context, okay?
Why is it that everybody always hits the reverse racism shit?
Oh, this, of course, is a 2013 account, too.
And no, I didn't even, I wasn't terrified of your idiotic biologic sentiment and just
didn't see it in the sea of, in the sea of other comments.
was on what do you call sex and towards men then it's called mis-injury and it's a laughable notion.
Okay. Do you want to know why it's a laughable notion? How many, how many radfems fucking
are constantly up my ass for being pro sex work or being pro trans? Okay. Yeah. I get it. Trust
me. Okay. If it was, if it was in any case or form a real thing, I would have probably
been killed by now a million times over by a fucking radfem. It's often born out of people's uh
it's often born out of victimhood that people just have no way out of it and they feel powerless
so they basically turn around and start lashing out. This doesn't mean it's appropriate but you
don't deal with it in the same way. I can't believe that I cannot believe that you are
trying to flip this on men being the victim. Jesus Christ dude just I'm telling you right now
Kill that part of your brain. Okay. There's that little there's that little demon inside of everybody's head who goes
I'm making a fucking banger counter argument here. Okay. I'm cooking this one up
The moment that you see that thought you just end it and that thought in your brain. I promise you
Band okay using the term kill doesn't automatically mean a band chat. Jesus Christ
Calm down
Everybody's got a little reactionary dog in them. Okay, everybody has it
It's understandable.
We are a product of our material conditions.
We are not above propaganda.
We are not above social conditioning.
You feel me?
So I get it.
I understand having those thoughts creep in.
You've got to actively work against them though, because if you let those thoughts
seep in before you know it, kill that par for every argument, because it's not critical
thinking.
Okay?
thinking. That is what I'm trying to explain to you. But you think it's critical thinking,
it's not. It's reactionary thinking. There's something very comforting about entertaining
the notion that things are the way that they are because of some natural order and
that all of these people are actively trying to undermine the natural order, okay?
It's much easier to think that homeless people are homeless because of their own moral failings
and that that'll never happen to you, instead of recognizing that it happens because of
material conditions, because of a sequence of horrible things that might have happened
to this person.
It's much easier to think the former rather than the latter because when you think
the former, then it's like, oh yeah, it'll never happen to me. Remember, Law, he's right
about everything. Killed that par for every argument. Okay. The dumbasses are talking
to one of them. The dumbass are talking to each other in the chat. Wait, what a case
of dude? Nothing. He's just being awesome. Reactionary thinking is the exact opposite
of critical thinking. Reactionary thinking can be very comfortable. And a lot of people
engage with it because they get that comfort and it makes you feel like you're smart. Remember
that. That's why I say kill that part of your brain. Aren't neutralized that part of your
brain that wants you to desperately conform to reactionary ways of thought. Yeah, it he
gets that a man hates women because some women hurt him. But when a woman hates men because
she has sexually assaulted by one is much harder for them to understand the end of
then the end of capitalism. Let's watch their response. The next day, they went back live
to say that they're ending their, as Ms. New Video is just calling, is him calling Hassan
a Nazi law? That's hilarious. Okay, I'll take it seriously. It takes one to no one. You know what
I mean, I'll take that seriously. Let's continue. Um, we wanted to, uh, officially end the marathon,
have some closure, talk about the situation a bit and just end it properly because it didn't feel
right ending it the way that it ended yesterday. So, um, and we do kind of need to like
like say what happened because I think a lot of women,
a lot of times in this industry cannot talk about the
stalkers they have because it will only make them worse.
And unfortunately, this one was very, very public.
And I feel like none of us can really move on.
And we just want to get it out of the way while I am
still here and Ray is here and also Emmy is safe.
She just, you know, she needs time to process it and stuff and we are all very much still in shock
So please forgive us if we are emotional, but we are not
We are very much in shock and we need you guys to know it was like that clip does not do it justice for how scary it was
It was like it didn't show everything that happened and we just want to use it as like a learning situation
Because we see a lot of people saying like I would have done this if I was there
But you have no idea how fast it really happened
We did not know that it was even the same guy up until he made the original thread about following us
We didn't click it changed clothes
Apparently yeah, so if you guys don't know he met us earlier like 30 minutes before
And it was, you know, interest, like he was just a little cringe and like we took a photo with him
And he was very nice, and he went and changed clothes
Um and came back, which is why we didn't
Know who he was
And I also want to say before say anything like if you even
Remotely think that Rosie and Emily did anything wrong like I genuinely mean this shut the fuck up like I seriously
Because you were not there
Um, it is like fight or flight in that moment and Rosie and Emily did everything they could to protect us
so that we could like
Get away and like Rosie
Even afterwards like stood out the door and it's hard when you are like a
Camera guy and he is holding 10 like literally the equipment he has on him is so much money
He was literally holding the camera close to him, turning, and like, Rosie pushes the
guy like away from us, like they did so much to help us and they are not security, they're
not trained to do that.
Rosie and Emily are normal human beings like us, like they're not used to that.
I really was prepared to like fight him though, even though he was like pulling things
out of his pockets.
Yeah.
I just like it scares me like thinking about that any of them could have gotten hurt
Yeah, it was
Really scary
Yeah, if you don't if you haven't seen the entire interaction can be condensed in two minutes
Um, well, I wasn't shown but he like banged on this trash can in front of the security guard
like I don't know if you could hear it the way that we knew he was manic was he
kept changing like but personality like he would get really happy and be really
nice and then feel threatened and get really aggressive very quickly and was
punching stuff behind us and when he charged at Emily and stuff like that
and he charged at Emmy we just went into fight-or-flight and for those of
don't know like we know he's a stalker he pulled up where he was behind us he
pulled up and he's TikToks and was watching him TikToks and like looking up
and like and just like staring at us and and he even when like he ran at us and
he said he was gonna kill us kept running and trying to get something out
of his pocket. And like, like I said, like, you guys, when that clip cuts off, like we
had to run into a store screaming that somebody was going to kill us so that somebody would
step in and let us in the back. And we were lucky that one of I know what tiktoks, these
are those discord accounts that have all the starters together. Absolutely. Hey,
and have made TikTok accounts dedicated to sexualizing and degrading her.
Yeah, there's a network of stalkers. There is a network of stalkers that actively
engage in predatory behavior against Twitch streamers. So of course, my mods are very familiar
with all of them. We actively try to monitor to the best of our ability all of these fucking
communities. Like I said, every streamer knows this reality. Okay, every streamer knows this
reality, which is why I entertain zero seconds, which is why I entertain, not even for a moment,
this much, whenever fucking content creators actively go along with those fucking stalkers,
because they themselves are always attacked by these people. This is a big part of the reason why
Destiny's community has been so out of control because they rely on said fucking stalkers,
not just that, uh, Octo 20,000 account. Okay. Like it's one of these, it's one of these like
like nobody openly talks about it, but everybody knows what the fuck is up. The fact that, the
fact that like, as the gold and she even entertained some of these fucking accounts is insane to
me. Okay. I don't, I know that destiny has made a career out of basically behaving like
those guys, but the fact that as the golden and she see who are also actively fucking
Docs then harassed and stalked and swatted would also engage in these people
Engage with these people the people that actively
Work with these stalkers is psychotic
These are people who if you're a large content creator
These are people who you have
Genuinely been harmed by people exactly like this
the workers
Who was not like the cow maybe but as involved on the team know he's not dude
you're wrong. You're fucking wrong. I don't think you understand. No, okay? No, you're
absolutely wrong. If you think Asmongole does not get, uh, it does not get harmed by these
fucking people, you are delusional. There is not a single content creator. Destiny
himself too. There's not a single fucking content creator that does not actively, uh,
does not actively get stalked. Okay. There is not a single one. This is behind closed
doors a known reality. The worst part about it is there are some streamers who also entertain
it or engage with it. Okay. And people know who those streamers are and who those communities
are. That's why they don't talk about those communities and those streamers. Do you
think other streamers are oblivious to this fucking reality? Do you think that
other streamers are just completely oblivious. No, they know who the fuck these people are.
Yeah, they just don't talk about them for this reason. They don't want an endless sea of
of hatred and brigading and active stalking to come in their direction. Yeah. A lot of
streamers are afraid to call out the insults because of the repercussions of their free
communities. Exactly. And it doesn't matter how big you are. That's why I was so mad at
Twitch at Twitch con when they just like led in a bunch of fucking weirdos like kick streamers and shit
Okay
A lot of those guys went to kick a lot of their fan bases also went to kick and these
These communities have left unchecked have become deadly as well. I mean think about Christina Grimmie like
There have been contenders who've been killed by these fucking stalkers in the past
And in the United States of America, there's virtually no repercussions whatsoever.
Yes, Ice Beside and Style Communities, exactly.
Questioning us, actually, like, believed us, and he put us all in the back, and they're
panicked.
They didn't know what to do, so they tried to, they tried to bring us behind the buildings
to help us.
but we didn't know where he was.
They, he, he, I think when we went in the store,
he backed off because it was a lot of people.
And so we don't know where he was.
We didn't know where he went.
And we had to beg the workers to hide us
because they kept trying to tell us that we,
it's not their fault, but they kept trying to get us
to go back around where it happened
and saying that he was gone,
but we said we didn't know if he was gonna come back.
And so, we had to hide.
Hey, Son, what does entertaining this type of behavior
necessarily mean?
I'll explain it to you.
Drama slop communities and streamers
who actively engage in drama, okay?
And I'm not talking about people who like pull me
into drama by bringing up my name
for some fucking weird reason, okay?
But streamers who from the outside
actively talk about other people's drama
and choose to take sides on said drama.
people like Keemstar, these are people who thrive off of the toxicity and the negative
energy brought about to whoever they have in their crosshairs.
And that's where a lot of these fucking losers congregate.
Okay.
And the thing is most of these losers also have networks like Discord servers and Telegram
channel.
Some of a big chunk of them are in here right now, most likely.
Okay.
talking about how sick it is. Yeah, but if you think that like other streamers, exactly,
if you think that these other streamers fucking randomly find these clips and shit, you're
delusional. No, they get it directly from people who cyberstalk streamers. They go
into people's chats. They come into my chat too. They do it all the time. They make
a million different soccer counts all the fucking time. This is what they get off
on lalkowing is what it's called. So any community that hyper focuses on, you know, doing lalkow
shit will inevitably have these fucking losers all up and down their community becomes an
incredibly toxic space. Yes. That's what the concept of lalkow is, a cow that you
farm for the lulls. It was initially a, it was initially relegated to forums. There
There are prominent examples of this stuff, like Chris Chan, I think, there's what is
it?
Dark Side Fill, Boogie 1488.
Those are some of the people that have been, those are some of the people that have become
law cows.
Okay.
Some people lean into it.
And then it's reposited by Yoxics and accounts alike on Twitter and boosted by drama alert.
Exactly.
Some people decide, well, I'll make money anyway I can.
And then they lean into it.
become the law cow. Yeah. World of t-shirts is a TikTok example. I don't know who Daniel
Larson is, but yeah, world of, world of t-shirts is like the example that exists on, on a TikTok
and the people that love this shit, the people that get a tremendous amount of enjoyment
out of this stuff are some of the saddest people you've ever met in your entire lives.
You probably never met them because they rarely ever go outside, but they do have
lot of impact online because you can do a lot without leaving your house. Oh, Daniel Larson
is world of t-shirts. Okay. Sometimes people who have made, oh no, he's not. Okay. It's
a different person. All right. I don't know. I don't know. I don't fucking, I don't care
about this stuff. My point is streamers that actively egg this stuff on, do it knowingly.
Okay, even if they themselves are victim to this kind of stalking and nobody deserves it
Okay
They knowingly egg this on they knowingly normalize it and they make money off of it
Okay, it's completely unacceptable. It's total freak shit
it. In a shed for 15 minutes until the cops came. We were. Yeah, I used to lurk in those
communities and it's usually just full of hate and they always monitor online personalized
and document them in hopes of them becoming a low cow is depressing. Yeah, straight up.
And Twitter has certainly made it worse. It's people who are very sad, people who
are incredibly sad themselves, who never really go outside. So they actively try
to make other people's lives worse in order to feel like they have a sense of control over
their own. It's a failure, but I think that is the reason why people do it.
It was terrifying. We didn't know if he was still around or if he changed. We didn't
know where he was. He's still out there, but I am investing as much as I can to find
this guy. If you have any information on this man, I would like it. We're going to find him
and I'm going to do everything I can to get this guy. So we're we're trying to do everything
so we can get him. We have evidence that he knew. Yes, we have everything we just need to
to find him. So if any of you have any information and you've seen him before,
anything if you can please tell us so we will know because um it's hard sometimes
like when the cops have to go off stuff like that and I know that it's a lot but
it would help us a lot if anybody has anything. We're uh right after this we're gonna go to
the police station yeah and um we are going to file reports and uh take it from there so
And I want to say again, like, we are all in shock.
I don't saw a lot of people saying, like, well, did he actually have a weapon and did it out?
But like, when somebody is running at you or even walking toward you.
And this stranger says, he's going, I'm going to kill you.
And he's getting aggressive.
And he's banging on the trash can.
And he goes from smiling to being looking really serious.
And charging at us.
Charging.
Like, he put his stuff on the ground to fistfight Emily.
He I'm not joking when I say like it has it is
So quickly there is nothing that anybody could have done it happens so fast
And like you guys did not see all of it
It is like I am in hindsight
Very thankful that we were in the area that we were and that we were able to go into the store because I think if
We had been anywhere else on the pier it would have been a very different situation
situation because when you walk down and if we would have been going into like the parking garage or anything
We would have had nobody so at least we ran into that worker who I like dude. Look look
Look, you want to know how how freak like people are here
Like while we're talking about this shit here
While we're talking about this shit
King Rob the God, if we want Hamas Piker to disappear, we much lower him to an alley and
turn his light out forever.
Oh yeah, I'm supposed to say in Minecraft dot dot dot, right?
But you're not gonna do that man, you're not.
Also get a fucking life, you have a child, what the fuck is wrong with you dude?
Are you okay?
You have a kid in your profile picture and this is the way you're presenting yourself.
You know how many times like every streamer deals with this every fucking day. Okay. Every streamer
Why does this shit always happen right after asman puts out a new youtube videos like clockwork every fucking day, dude
Every day asmongole makes a youtube video it turns around and says like Hassan is a Nazi or Hassan is a bad guy
He's a radical the fucking rest of the day
We've been hundreds of accounts coming in and being like Hamas Parker. I'm gonna find you and kill your ass or whatever the fuck
like
Apparently the discourse are already talking about you talking about them now. I know I really
One of the biggest mistakes I've ever done in my career was
Actively reaching out to I think it's the awkward the yeet account many many years prior
Okay, a real psychopath and I try to talk to him and I was like listen man
You know what you're saying is incorrect and I just want you to get help like I want to help you get help
Okay. And you know what that did? It did the exact opposite. Okay. It made him infinitely more insane.
Infinitely more insane. Like, I try to talk him off the ledge and it turned it, it turned him into an even worse monster.
Yes, I'm going to watch the Trump address in a second.
I knew someone who became a moderator on one of those low cost harassment forums.
She was everything that could have made her a target of woman with dysphoria autistic on
SSDI furry with weird kings
There's no way anyone can convince me that these dogs aren't deeply unhappy with themselves and get into this shit thinking that if they're the
Prosecutor they will be safe from harassment and stalking. Yeah
You ever think you spawned these guys? No man. They actively watch many of them are in fucking destiny's community
They've literally actively haywatch
It's true though. Well, you're what that chatter is saying is true a lot of these people are just like
like very sad people, you know?
I'm very thankful, help us, um, and yeah, I just, um, please like take stuff like this
very seriously.
It can happen to like anybody, if you're male or female, but like, it happens to everybody,
but like it is so like if you ask any girl streamer, they all have stories and it's
It's not, it's not just Emmy, it's not just somebody like, it's every single girl streamer
has a story like this.
Yeah, big or small, doesn't matter how big.
Like, you can have 20 viewers as a female streamer, you're gonna have a fucking stalker
100%.
Also, it's not even just streamers though, just women in general have these kinds
of experiences in the real world too.
Okay, it's not always on camera.
In many circumstances, even for streamers, it's not on camera.
But we get to use this to talk about it because this one happened in public.
Because it's so public, it felt important to talk about.
So moving forward, we will be petitions, don't you think?
It's sad.
We are very much in shock still, just to clarify.
And I know-
Well, I obviously recognize this is a horrific and terrible event to go through and can
acknowledge it as scary.
suppress the reactionary part of my brain, things that, well, these two women ultimately
came out physically unscathed and while emotionally traumatic as a matter of nothing, burger
burgers, the situation did not bear fruit. Bro, because they are, they have PTSD. Like,
what do you mean? Why do you think she's rocking back and forth? They're obviously traumatized
by this.
You have to understand that it's not just about like the physical harm in the immediate.
Okay. It's not just about like being actively hit in the head. Think about it this
when you get your car broken into, right? Someone comes in and breaks the window of your car to
steal your shit. That has a financial repercussion, that has a financial impact on your life, and that's
bad. But one might assume, one might think that the actual impact is that the safety barrier
that you thought you had around your life has been penetrated in a way that actually is
emotionally traumatic. This is something that I've talked about quite a bit in terms of how people
become so right-wing and so reactionary. The invisible scars of trauma are oftentimes infinitely
more impactful than the immediate physical harm. Okay? Okay, but that's a situation you
were imagining is a scenario in which violence involved. Violence against a car? What do you
mean? Not violence against you directly. Let's say they broke into your car, didn't steal
anything. You'll go, oh, thank God they didn't steal anything, but you obviously are still
traumatized by it. No? Are you not? Maybe you live in a different planet. Yeah.
Sure, but if someone threw a brick through my window, of course I'm scared. Yes, I acknowledge
that. Okay, but this is kind of like that, don't you think? This is a person who was directly in
the physical space of these women and actively threatened to kill them. That is a violent
situation that is illegal that is illegal for a reason man threatened to end the
lives of people hello but if I found you in a dark alley I'm six to four and I
threatened to violently kill you I don't think you would come out of that
situation Rosie you know I think you would be pretty fucking traumatized in
that process think about it like that K word banned again okay guys stop come
on. People are like probably gonna see us it display a lot of emotions when we go on
next time or whatever but I think none of us really know how to process this that
was very very real. Like look this is this is coping mechanisms right here like
rocking back and forth like this okay that that right there is is trauma.
And for the people that are trying to psychoanalyze and say that it was fake, fuck you.
Also, people, when you...
Yeah, I know.
The other thing is those people are just going to do that.
But you know, sometimes people laugh when they're nervous.
Sometimes people laugh when it's awkward.
I definitely get that way, especially in an uncomfortable situation live on stream.
stream. It happens. People process things differently. And we're
gonna get through this and we will be much, much, much safe.
It's self soothing behavior. Sorry. And I said, like, you know,
this is not like just a random cringe viewer, like he eat
whether or not he walked at us, ran at us, it doesn't matter
when you have a stranger like that who is holding photos of
in their hand and doing what he did and saying like I'm gonna fucking kill you
that is like he charges at you it is to be treated seriously I mean you guys can
see it in the video he charged us it is an attempt on our life and like we are
taking it very seriously and please um you know if you are like a female
streamer a lot of my friends are like guys that go stream like I never thought
that like I knew it could happen but you you always think that you know what
you'll do in that situation and when you're in it it is very different it's
easy to say what you would have done in the situation but when you are having
your life threatened and you were in fire flight we are not gonna wait around
to see what he had in his pocket you're just gonna run because there's a
guy saying he's gonna kill you and reaching for your pocket like that's
not an unreasonable thing to think and like Rosie, Emily, me, and me and Ray did the best
that we could for the situation that we were in and that is it.
Yeah.
And I would like to be able to go live again and not have to deal with this but I know it's
going to be like a lot so thank you for everybody who is being very nice.
Yeah, thank you for all of the support this past week for it's been a crazy week.
Yeah, and it was a really good marathon.
It bonded a lot.
And it sucks that a marathon that...
Also Denim said that her and other female streamers would experience similar things
like this prior to Twitch with the parasocial dynamic of streaming turns everything up
to 11.
Yeah, absolutely.
100%.
100% was to highlight women's streamers and like us do stuff together is
unfortunately like ending off on something that is one of the worst things
that can happen to a female streamer and we were very thankful that it did not
end with one of us getting seriously hurt and thank you to both Rosie and
How expensive is personal security for streamers? Um, it depends. I mean, it is expensive, but
that's not the, that's not the problem. I think ultimately, yes, a lot of streamers should
most likely have personal security and it is very expensive. But in this situation,
like there's no reason to even bring that up because obviously the real problem here
is the fucking freak. Okay. The notion that we should just be like, well, you know, shit
happens. We just have to pay for, uh, you know, streamers should just basically pay for
security is insane. All right. Like that's crazy for all the things. Yeah. But it's also
very American to be fair. It's like saying, Oh, well, school shootings are a part of
life. That's why we need to have bulletproof backpacks. You know, it's like, well,
We can't really address the root cause of the problem.
He did during the marathon because they helped so much
and they've been non-slogistic.
Yeah, also, if it's right, even if you consider that
a solution for streamers, what are the women
who aren't streamers, they have this happen to them.
Exactly.
What are they supposed to do, you know?
Being, we've been doing so much to make it as fun
as we could, and it's unfortunate that it has
to end like this.
It is crazy though because America is a PVP
unlock server at all times.
And it's wild because like, even a place like the Santa Monica
pier where you are surrounded by other people,
where you're surrounded by security guards in general,
and it can still happen.
Even if it's on camera, it can still happen.
It's insane.
But we said that we bonded a lot.
I don't think you could not bond over trauma.
So, you know, um, we will, we will get through this.
Yeah.
I think that's enough.
I'm gonna move on to the address in a second.
All right.
There was many, many good moments this past week.
Last night was not one of them,
but I hope it was a learning experience
for other streamers, whether a male streamer,
whatever, it is very dangerous.
Okay?
Yeah.
It takes one person.
Okay?
Yeah.
So be careful, learn from this and that's it.
And we love you guys very much and thank you for everything and watching because we had a lot of fun through all the bullshit
And the scrutiny and the shitty people on Twitter. It was fucking fun
And I wish we're gonna do it again in a different world
We would be having lunch on the balcony right now
We would be having mimosas right now
Getting drunk with our friends
Ten other friends with Jason the chef making us sushi that was our plan for today
And then the first duo girl marathon. I know and the first one. I can't
I'm like, yeah, they they feed this like an end the marathon like this is the best part today was supposed to be the best
We're on day seven. Like look look the other part of this is like listen
If you know people that engage in this kind of stalking behavior
You kind of know there is like there is there's some people that maybe
Find themselves in these communities if you yourself are in these communities get out, okay?
Get your friends out get out
Don't go to these places try to cut yourself off from these places. I know that there is probably a lot of starters
Who are currently watching right now as well? Okay at any given moment. I got a shit ton of them
That's why we should have told people to also, you know actively leave these cult like echo chambers like
DDG being one of them. Okay?
Be normal
focus on hobbies
Engage in some kind of impulse control
Because they these places are these spaces are actively making you worse
Okay
They're making you a worse person overall
You can get out. It's never too late. It is never too late. All right. Where's the speech? Where's the Trump speech?
No, not did he's either rapper
I called DDG, all right, let's see.
George Republicans to get together on his budget plan, which includes extending the Donald Trump tax cuts from 2017
He's gonna talk a lot about the border and border security. He's going to tout what he is saying is massive
deportations
People in the brother went down the Asmongole pipeline course and now he thinks I'm a little bit now
He genuinely thinks I'm a terrorist for being a fan genuinely. It's like a brain disease. It was such a chill dude
Dude, bro, that's your brother. What the fuck? That's crazy. I don't know. I don't know how you deal with that save him
You don't know how American families work. I just don't think that these people genuinely think that that you're a terrorist
I don't think these people genuinely think I'm a terrorist either. Okay?
like a
Terror is a person that goes out and actively harms
innocent civilians
alright
Deliberately like you're not
That's not how you deal you don't go and fall asleep in the in the same house with the fucking terrorists
You can't be like oh you're a terrorist and then you know go to bed next to a terrorist in the same fucking house
You obviously don't believe it. They think you create terrorist bud. I know I know they think that bud. I
Know but I don't think they genuinely believe that either
with her. You're still too charitable to these freaks because I understand that there's a
shit ton of them. Okay. And there's two different methods of dealing with it. You either basically
say they're insane and shut them off completely, or you try to talk to them and pull them
off the ledge. We don't, wait, by the way, we want to watch. Okay, but it hasn't started
yet. Chatters. What the hell?
high stakes prime time address. The President's first major speech to Congress just 43 days
into his administration. Our special coverage starts right now. Tonight on Capitol Hill,
a critical moment for President Trump. The President said to lay out his priorities to
lawmakers coming at a turbulent moment at home and abroad. President Trump ramping up
efforts to reshape the federal government as he signals a shift from decades of US foreign policy.
From NBC News, President Trump's address to a joint session of Congress, live from Washington,
here are Lester Holt and Savannah Guthrie.
And hi everybody, good evening. Welcome to our special coverage of President Trump's address.
Why are you saying watch C-SPAN, please? C-SPAN is freaking boring.
since his second term began.
Here's a scene on the House floor right now
where the president is expected to speak just minutes
and now he'll lay out his priorities
both foreign and domestic.
The senior administration official
telling NBC News tonight,
his theme will be the renewal of the American dream.
Of course, the speaker of the House,
Vice President JD Vance waiting there at the dais.
It comes, of course, at a critical moment
for President Trump and for the country
as he ramps up his efforts
to fundamentally reshape the federal government
and days after the world saw a major shift in U.S. foreign policy during his Oval Office
showdown with Ukrainian President Zelensky.
Well, some two months into his administration, the president already hitting the ground running
on his agenda, including big cuts from the newly created Department of Government efficiency
along with plans for mass deportation and tariffs on our country's largest trading partners
which just went into effect today.
So tonight we expect to hear more about the president's vision for the future
when he takes the post.
How long it really creepily compliments on his wife for first 30 seconds
Immediately I was with JD Vance's wife for you shop. She's Indian, but I like her
Two minutes in I have noticed that too, that's his favorite thing to do
His favorite thing to do is constantly talk about people's lives. It's very weird
I would have chosen a white lady, but it's okay, JD got a good one.
Someone in the chat said, is this going to be tighter or is he going to ramble on?
My man, if you think he's not gonna ramble on,
you have not been paying attention.
Donald Trump has never been tight, okay?
Did you remember a Biden speech, dude?
Hassan, I have a hypocrite, ha-ha.
I love that.
Thank God we got some hogs in here.
Oh, I miss, I miss the hogs so much.
Thank you for being in here with us, chatter.
I will give you delicious libt ears
that you are looking for.
You obviously weren't in here
when I was covering Biden and shitting on him relentlessly.
But it's okay.
It makes me happy that the liberals are in here
to be like, you just hate Trump.
You love to when Biden gave Sadie the union.
Those close to the president
Steve Docow in the building, my God.
The senior administration official tells me
that's what we can expect to hear
in the first part of the president's speech tonight
and laying out his accomplishments.
I also spoke with one Democratic member
who said to me just today,
listen, Democrats have gotten off to a lackluster start
as far as responding in a cohesive way strategically
to the first six weeks of the Trump administration here.
But they do feel like there is some hope
that they are finding their footing by focusing very sharply
on issues like the economy.
Oh, don't worry, I'm gonna pull up
as we go chat to see what they're saying as well.
It's rough.
It's rough, man.
With the exception of Matt Gaetz who was briefly
made it to be the attorney general.
It's like live reacting alongside Asimov.
Often along party lines as I turned to Peter Alexander.
This is the president's choice to lead some of these changes.
We are going to also see Elon Musk not entering with the cabinet, but arguably as important,
if not more important, in terms of what he's been doing with the federal government.
Well, we wait to see where Elon Musk is going to be sitting.
Is he there side by side with the cabinet?
He appeared in the cabinet meeting a few days ago.
We saw him riding with the motorcade, dressed in a suit, this go around, joining
Donald Trump on this night.
I'm struck by a couple things.
much has changed since the last time we saw Donald Trump in this position. Five years ago,
his last state of the union, we've had COVID since then and so many other changes. Think about the
room, just the optics of this. When he first gave a joint address, there was a different vice president
over his shoulder. Then Mike Pence, this go-around JD Vance, a different speaker of the house,
Paul Ryan, this time around, of course, it's going to be Mike Johnson. What we heard from him
make a plea, he already did. He talked about putting an end to the trivial fights in
America. There is Elon Musk. We see him in the chamber right now. You talk about the trivial
fights. He said, let's put an end to them. Think about all the trivial, no longer trivial,
the media blacks.
We're dealing with right now with Canada, one of our closest allies with Ukraine until
recently one of our tightest allies as well. The president has a lot of, a lot of unique
challenges.
Oh, he hexed it. How, how drunk you all think he hexed it is right now? How many,
how many shots deep is he does an eggs a dollar 46 this go around nearly $5 for
or a dozen acts.
That's the country battles, the avian flu
and the effects of that.
We wanna go to Capitol Hill now,
our Chief Capitol Hill correspondent, Ryan Nobles,
is inside the House chamber in the room
where it will happen.
And he has a Republican Senate, a Republican House,
but these are very narrow majorities
and the political clock is ticking, Ryan,
for him to get his agenda through.
Yeah, that's exactly right, Savannah.
And it is pretty stark when you look out at the chamber
for my vantage point,
which is right behind where the president
will be speaking.
If you see like a little, if you see like a little, little carrier and P hex his hand,
you know, you know what's up, you know the game, game recognized game. He's going to
get the shakes 30 minutes in. He's going to need to take a little sippy out of a sip,
which is a representation of how the speech will likely be received here in the next
few minutes. I mean, it's important to keep in mind when Donald Trump first came
into this chamber back in 2017, it was a very different environment than what he's
going to deal with here tonight. His own party wasn't necessarily 100%
Jeffrey's want them to be submissive and readable.
Jimmy's still a House Democrat,
he expects his president to be in 10 counter.
Good job tonight, nice.
So we're hoping that he would be the deal maker in chief.
Oh, shit.
Invited by an enthusiastic GOP
that has fallen completely in line behind him.
They will shower him with applause throughout the night.
In fact, one of the things to look for tonight,
we saw Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene,
who was right up there along the aisle
and expected to greet the president as she came in.
She's been showing her fellow members
She's just bringing her signs with this printer on
That's funny
That reads, Trump was right about everything
Which is indicative of how the Republicans feel about Donald Trump right now
But these Democrats on the other side of the aisle
They have now
Oh shit, hold on, let me put the mega hat on to
Yes, chatter is right
Shatters this, hit the mega hat on to express your apolitical nature
They've alienated the Democrats
They've really given up all hope that they can
Guys, let's not, you know, I want people to remember
political, okay? And the hat, of course, helps you recognize that this is the simple populist
position, and also the centrist position. As a centrist, as a centrist, I would like to wear my
centrist shield. No politics here, obviously. Terrorist confirmed. Excuse me, chatter must be
on a delay, I'm wearing a hat that shows my loyalties to center them to the friends.
A very bright pink.
That will be something that Donald Trump will have to see as he's given this address to
this chamber here tonight.
And then we've also spotted a number of Democratic men sporting ties with yellow and blue in
support of Ukraine.
And of course, the ongoing controversy as it relates to Ukraine.
Now some of these members they've been waiting here since as early as three o'clock this afternoon
to get those spots along the aisle those coveted spots where they will get face time with the
president be able to shake his hand on national television and also have the opportunity to get
an autograph of the speech after he leaves everything along those lines you can see them
showing their phones and talking to each other already about this experience that they have
and the prime position that they've gotten here tonight.
Now, it's also interesting to point out,
as we wonder, will Democrats have any sort of vocal disapproval of this speech,
whether they hackle or catcall, will any of them walk out of the chamber tonight?
We've been told by Democratic leadership that they've asked their members not to
forcefully do any sort of demonstration like that,
but they've already been warned by members of the House Freedom Caucus
that any Democrat that attempts to disrupt the proceedings here tonight...
You're going to shut up.
I face a censure resolution now.
That's right.
We'll censure you.
There are members of the House Freedom
Caucus, both pass and pass.
Are you going to pull up as this shot as well?
I already did, but Trump hasn't started speaking it.
So it doesn't matter.
President Joe Biden during his speeches.
So those are just some of the possible.
They're saying in the chamber tonight, guys.
All right, Ryan, thanks.
As we mentioned tonight's address
comes as President Trump slapped tariffs
on some of our country's largest trading partners,
including Canada, Mexico, and China.
It's raising fears of an all-out trade war for more.
Let's bring in our senior business correspondent,
Christine Romans.
Christine.
Hi there, good evening.
And yes, you've got companies across the economy
scrambling to figure out how to absorb these higher prices,
25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, another 10% on China.
And in fact, many companies are saying
there will be higher prices ahead for American consumers,
which is interesting because President Trump has acknowledged
that in part he was elected because Americans were
tired of higher grocery prices. We heard today from the CEO of Target, the big discount retailer
that in fact fruits and vegetables from Mexico this winter and spring because of those tariffs,
they will cost more and in a matter of days consumers will start to pay higher prices. Now
we expect to hear the president talk about egg prices and blame President Biden and the prior
administration. He's going to he's going to blame his trade. Wait, don't ban everyone
This is fuck you dude. Come on. Come on mods. We got it. We got to have some fun with these losers, please
If you ban all the losers then we can't have fun late today. No hog time
Where did he go? I missed it. What was his name from the US government saying that potentially the president?
He probably has some really sick thoughts in the middle. No clarity yet, though
You're taking away my pants. I want to play with my food
You guys is sort of bracing for disruptions in the what was the name of that? What was that higher prices all along the supply chain?
What do you say?
Fuck off you should stay being called for children be killed and parading that shit on your channel
You were what's wrong with the world Paris converse any policy being murdered you are fucking skill
I'm what godless POS gets off on kids being killed when they are Jewish just fucking hallucinating dude
This guy is off the sauce. I'm unbanning him
We'll hear his speech in just a few minutes, but
Did you hear me say that or did you see a clip of someone claiming I said that?
Is the question
Many many economists. I'm on banning that guy. I'm bringing him back
pressure on prices and
And on the economy at large if they were to stay in effect for a sustained period
Absolutely economists of all stripes have come to that conclusion president trump himself
I don't know if you see this listen up dork
Look, I'm apolitical. Do you understand? I'm the most apolitical man that has ever existed
in this entire land. Do you understand me? Look at how apolitical I am right now. You're
over here. It's just you and me, baby. Look, look deeply into my eyes. Stare into my
gaze. Recognize the hat. This means I am a centrist. This means I am the most
political content creator that has ever actually entertained the airwaves. Do you understand?
Look at the hat. I'll let the hat do the talking.
His legislative agenda comes into play. You are going to see him make a big pitch
for Congress to pass the big bill that just passed through the house. It deals with the border
deportation. Yeah, A Political Terrorist videos.
His big argument is, let's get back down. You don't understand, baby.
And then that will handle any pain that's done.
You don't get it, but you will.
We're expecting the introduction of the president, Sergeant-in-law, to move to Maryland.
Mr. Speaker, the president of the United States!
And we should note, as you watch this, you would be forgiven if you thought you were
about to watch the State of the Union address.
Technically, this is a speech before a joint session of Congress, the difference
being, in this case, it's a new president who will be looking forward, presumably,
about his agenda versus a president who's been reviewed
as some of his accomplishments.
And now we see the long walk in.
The First Lady, of course, has several guests with her
and has become a tradition.
There will be guests who may be mentioned during the speech,
and members from both sides bring guests as well
to make political points.
But it's just remarkable to think
about this political comeback.
President Trump now, this first address to a joint session
Oh my God, Democrats man. I mean, look, look, Republicans are obviously insane and really
lame, but God damn dude. I guess like, I guess we can add that to, to the bipartisan consensus.
Okay. What do we have? We got pedophilic elite. Okay. Bipartisanship definitely is,
is right there. All right. When you, when you talk about pedophilic elite and defending
pedophilic elite, you got both sides that do a good deal of that, right?
American foreign policy, of course, is bipartisan support for Israel, which is, you know, American
foreign policy, obviously, also bipartisan. And also now I would say, aside from insider
trading, that's a really good one. Insider training is bipartisan. And last but not
least being unimaginably corny in different directions.
This week's in, because remember for some of these voters, this is still a kind of second
honeymoon period for the president. He's only been in office 43 days. I heard that again
and again. Give him a chance when it comes to prices, which matters so much to these
voters, to all voters. Give him a chance to try to bring those prices down. I will
tell you what I did here, and it was fascinating. One late 30s mom who backed President
Trump in November, she said, you know what? I don't like though. She said,
I wish we could vote Elon Musk out of office.
She was concerned about what she saw
is somebody who she viewed as out of touch,
having so much influence at the White House.
Now, again, Elon Musk was there on the campaign trail.
It is not a surprise.
There's so much sign that he has become
a political political president, Trump.
We have seen that over the course
of the last nearly a year as he is in the room now,
in this chamber, the face of those doge cuts.
Good case.
President Trump here is walking in and shaking hands,
but the optics here are different
and they are fascinating because of that
political content because the fact that remember Republicans control the House
the Senate and the White House as well and this is something that some members of
Congress have been hearing about from constituents as they went back to their
districts after this first period in Congress and they're hearing about it
Peter wait also not be like Donald Trump no I'm a centrist I need you I need you
to understand there is no better sign that someone is a centrist than wearing
this hat okay I need I will I will respond to every single chatter that
says, I'm, uh, I'm a fan of Donald Trump. I'm just simply a centrist.
You might see me agreeing with virtually all of Donald Trump's policies and say
he's based in his peer content, but I'm actually an independent centrist. Okay.
Just so you understand, I don't want you to make a mistake.
It's okay to make the mistake one time, but I will not entertain it a second
time. Okay. Just know that I am a centrist. Yeah. I'm based on a base.
military leaders he went in of course it was you're missing it you're not missing shit
he's not he's doing the round he's barely getting up stand in some of these
town halls around the country right now as the president shows up there has been
real dissatisfaction critics say these are democratic opponents but a lot of
Americans are starting to feel the impacts as it hits their own community
80% of American federal workers work outside Washington DC luncheon today so
we can't talk about the substance of the conversation we can talk about I
I think he seemed relaxed. He seemed very confident today.
Yeah, I think, um,
He wasn't having a step.
Bro, I'm gonna be honest with you.
They are glazing him at NBC News.
Holy shit, Lester.
Take it out of your mouth.
Take it out of your mouth.
He has this mandate, and is, uh,
looking forward to this speech tonight.
And wants to, as he says, tell it like it is.
Also remember, because I was banned yesterday,
if you didn't resubscribe,
your resubscription might have been canceled.
be subscribed now for six dollars or for free with a twitch prime or get
give this up thank you very much speaking Johnson vice president Vance
the first lady of the United States members of the United States Congress
Thank you very much and to my fellow citizens, America is back.
Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this capital and proclaimed the dawn of the
golden age of America.
From that moment on it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in
the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. We have accomplished
more than 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years. And we are just
getting started. I'm dropping all planes going forward. No plane shall fly. It's an affront
to God. It's disrespectful. Yeah, Trump brought big titties back in the video game. That's
that America's momentum is back, our spirit is back, our pride is back, our confidence
is back, and the American dream is surging bigger and better than ever before.
The American dream is unstoppable and our country is on the verge of a comeback, the
likes of which the world has never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again.
It's never been anything like it.
The presidential election of November 5th was a mandate like has not been seen in many
decades.
We won all seven swing states, giving us an electoral college repeat of 312.
It's a bit gross that glazed this hard.
I mean, come on.
We won the popular vote by big numbers and won counties in our country.
Whoa, what's going on?
Counties in our country, 2,700 to 525 on a map that reads almost completely red for Republican.
Now for the first time in modern history, more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction.
In fact, it's an astonishing record, 27-point swing, the most ever.
The most ever...
Okay, I like that.
I like the Democrats getting a little...
getting into their feelings a little bit.
I like it. Likewise.
Small business optimism.
So it's single largest one month gain ever recorded.
840.
Oh, do you think this is going to happen?
Yeah, my God!
Members are directed to hold and maintain the quorum in the house
in the house and to cease any further disruptions that you're warning.
Members are engaged in willful and continuing breach of the power.
And the chair is prepared to direct the serving of arms to restore order to the joint session.
Yeah, he's got a team.
Yeah, we need you from Houston.
Mr. Green, take your seat.
Take your seat, sir.
Take your seat.
Engage in willful and concerted destruction of property.
There is a venue!
Respect! Respect! Respect!
Respect! Respect! Respect!
That's what I'm talking about!
Fuck it! YOLO!
Respect!
Thought you were a centrist?
Yeah, but I like the drama.
In the house.
Mr. President, you continue.
Thank you.
Over the past six weeks,
I have signed nearly 100 executive
and taken more than 400 executive actions, a record, to restore common sense, safety,
optimism, and wealth all across our wonderful land. The people elected me to do the job and
I'm doing it. In fact, it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency,
it's our presidency, is the most successful in the history of our nation, makes it
What's even more impressive is that, do you know who number two is?
George Washington, how about that?
But we'll take it.
Within hours of taking the oath of office, I declared a national emergency on our southern
border and I deployed the U.S. military and border patrol to repel the invasion of
our country and what a job they've done.
As a result, illegal border crossings last month were, by far, the lowest ever recorded.
Ever.
The police didn't like me there.
I am there.
They have my words, and they chose not to come.
They let me in.
Much easier that way.
In comparison, under Joe Biden, the worst president in American history, they were blood
And virtually all of them, including murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and people from
mental institutions and insane asylums, were released into our country.
Who would want to do that?
This is my fifth such speech to Congress.
And once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize there is absolutely
Nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud.
Nothing I can do.
I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire
nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history or the stoppage of crime
to the lowest levels ever recorded.
And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not
cheer for these astronomical achievements.
They won't do it, no matter what.
Five times I've been up here.
It's very sad, and it just shouldn't be this way.
So Democrats sitting before me for just this one night, why not join us in celebrating
so many incredible wins for America?
For the good of our nation, let's work together and let's truly make America great again.
Classic.
This is a classic Trump moment right here.
Okay?
The whole, like, why don't we work together?
You guys just don't want to work with me in destroying the administrative apparatus.
Also, the saddest part about it is that the Democrats do want to work with him.
They always say, oh, if they came to us, we would work on a bipartisan compromise.
needs to bring a future that America deserves and we're doing it. This is a time for big
dreams and bold action. Upon taking office, I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal
hiring, a freeze on all new federal regulations, and a freeze on all foreign aid.
I want to I want to die at the construction site sir Paris climate I want to eat straight
human fecal matter from my natural water supply countries were not paying freeze off
for and in except Israel World Health Organization from the anti-American UN
Human Rights Council we ended all of Biden's environmental restrictions that
were making our country far less safe and totally unaffordable and importantly
we ended the last administration's insane electric vehicle mandate saving our
auto workers and companies from economic destruction. To unshackle our economy, I have directed
that for every one new regulation, 10 old regulations must be eliminated, just like
I did in my very successful first day. And in that first term, we set records on ending
unnecessary rules and regulations like no other president had done before. We ordered
all federal workers to return to the office, they will either show up for work in person
or be removed from their job.
They just grossed at Congress claps for this because they notoriously hate showing up for
the job.
Partially because they're all like 800 years old.
This is an example that the president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political
opponent like me.
How did that work out?
Not too good, not too good.
Government censorship and brought back free speech in America, it's bad.
Yeah, except in this speech who's going to reveal that he has a task force
specifically dedicated to hurting Israel's feelings by the way.
So no, he has not brought free speech back.
A few days ago I signed an order making English the official language
of the United States of America.
Lamau, even people in his shadow like.
renamed the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America, and likewise, I renamed for a great president,
William McKinley, Mount McKinley again. Beautiful Alaska. Love Alaska. Love Alaska.
We've entered the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion policies all across
the entire federal government and indeed the private sector and our military.
They will be woke no longer.
I guess they're planning to be done.
We believe that whether you are a doctor and a gas builder or an air traffic controller,
you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender.
Very important.
We should be hired based on merit, and the Supreme Court, in a brave and very powerful
decision, has allowed us to do so.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You have removed the poison of critical race theory from our public schools, and I signed
an order making it the official policy of the United States government that there are
only two genders, male and female.
I'm clapping IRF, meritocracy baby, common sense, just basic history.
I also signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women's sports.
Oh my God.
Here's a go, please make a name.
Those are so anti-American, they wouldn't even clap for common sense.
I'm a full-star, high school athlete, one of the best, preparing for a future in college sports.
But when her girl's volleyball match was invaded by a male, he smashed the ball so hard in
Peyton's face causing traumatic brain injury, partially paralyzing her wrist, and ending
her athletic career.
It was a shot like she's never seen before.
That's crazy.
Bro, chill.
Peyton is here tonight in the gallery, and Peyton from now on, schools will kick the
men off the girls team, or they will lose all federal funding.
Any statements, I just got on band, okay?
I'm not saying nothing.
And if you really want to see that from us, just take a look at what happened in the women's boxing,
weightlifting, track and field swimming, recycling, where a male recently finished a long distance race,
five hours and 14 minutes ahead of a woman for a new record by five hours,
by five hours. It's demeaning for women and it's very bad for our country. We're
not going to put up with it any longer. What I've just described is only a small
fraction of the common-sense revolution that is now because of us sweeping the
entire world. Common sense has become a common theme, and we will never go back, never.
I'm not going to let that happen. Among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy
and get dramatic and immediate relief to working families. As you know, we inherited from
the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare. Their policies
These drove up energy prices, pushed up grocery costs, and drove the necessities of life out
of reach for millions and millions of Americans.
It never had anything like it.
We suffered the worst inflation in 48 years, but perhaps even in the history of our country.
They're not sure.
As President, I'm fighting every day to reverse this damage and make America affordable
again.
Bro, what do you mean? When is it going to become affordable?
Especially let the price of eggs get out of control.
Oh, he's blaming money!
The egg price is out of control.
And we're working hard to get it back down.
Secretary, do a good job on that.
You inherited a total mess from the previous administration.
Do a good job.
And what?
A major focus of our Flight 2 defeat inflation
is rapidly reducing the cost of energy.
The previous administration cut the number of new oil and gas leases by 95%.
Even after it goes on, it doesn't believe it.
And closed more than 100 power plants.
We are opening up many of those power plants right now.
Frankly, we have never seen anything like it.
That's why on my first day in office, I declared a national energy emergency.
You've heard me say many times we have more liquid gold under our feet than any nation
on earth, and by far.
And now I fully authorize the most talented team ever assembled to go and get it.
It's called Drill Baby Drill.
Administration is also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the
largest in the world where Japan, South Korea, and other nations want to be our partner
with investments of trillions of dollars each.
There's never been anything like that one.
It will be truly spectacular.
It's all set to go.
The permitting has gotten.
And later this week, I will also take historic action
to dramatically expand production of critical minerals
and rare earths here in the USA.
To further combat inflation, we will not only be reducing
the cost of energy, but will be ending the flagrant waste
of taxpayer dollars. And to that end, I have created the brand new Department of Government
Efficiency. Goal! Perhaps you've heard of it.
That was so sick. Thank God. Yeah, clap for this hyena. Clap for the billionaire!
Which is headed by Elon Musk, who's in the middle of the day tonight.
I'm sorry, I'm a scientist. I love Tesla. I love Elon. He's so genius.
He's working very hard. He didn't need this. He didn't need this. Thank you very much.
Yeah, he's doing us a favor by gutting the administrative state.
He appreciates it, I believe. He just don't want to admit that. Just listen to some of
the appalling waste we have already identified. $22 billion from HHS to provide free housing
cars for illegal aliens. Forty-five million dollars for diversity, equity, and inclusion
scholarships in Burma. Forty million dollars to improve the social and economic inclusion
of sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. Eight million dollars to promote
LGBTQI plus in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of.
$60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Columbian empowerment in Central America. $60 million,
$8 million for making mice transgender. This is real. $32 million for a left-wing propaganda
operation in Moldova. $10 million for mail. Moldovan Mamalika, stand behind me. Mozambique.
$20 million for the Arab Sesame Street in the Middle East. It's a program. $20 million for a program.
$1.9 billion to recently created decarbonization of Holmes Committee.
headed up and we know she's involved just at the last moment the money was
passed over by a woman named Stacy Abrams have you ever heard a 3.5
million dollar consulting contract for lavish fish monitoring 1.5 million
dollars for voter confidence in Liberia 14 million dollars for social
cohesion in Mali. $59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York City. He's a
real estate developer. He's done very well. $250,000 to increase vegan local climate action
innovation in Zambia. $42 million for social and behavior change in Uganda. $14 million
for improving public procurement in Serbia.
$47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia.
Asia is doing very well with learning.
You know what we're doing.
We should use it ourselves.
Now, $101 million for DEI contracts
at the Department of Education, the most ever paid,
nothing even like it.
Under the Trump administration, all of these scams,
And they're far worse, but I didn't think
it was appropriate to talk about them.
They're so bad.
Many more have been found out and exposed
and swiftly terminated by a group of very intelligent,
mostly young people, headed up by Ilana.
We appreciate it.
We found hundreds of billions of dollars of gold.
Some can't read.
He's reading right now, baby.
He's reading.
He's reading the room.
We've taken back the money and reduced our debt
to fight inflation and other things.
Taking back a lot of that money, we got it just in time.
This is just the beginning.
Get him, yeah, who's yelling?
Accountability office, federal government office
has estimated annual fraud of over $500 billion
in our nation, and we are working very hard to stop it.
We're going to.
We're also identifying shocking levels
of incompetence and probable fraud
and the Social Security Program for our seniors and that our seniors and people that we love
rely on. Believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from
people aged 100 to 109 years old. It lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119.
I don't know any of them.
I know some people that are rather elderly,
but not quite that elderly.
3.47 million people from ages 120 to 129.
3.9 million people from ages 130 to 139.
3.5 million people from ages 140 to 140.
And money is being paid to many of them.
And we're searching right now.
In fact, Pam, good luck.
Good luck.
You're going to find it.
But a lot of money is paid out to people because it just keeps getting paid and paid
and nobody does.
And it really hurts social security and hurts our country.
1.3 million people from ages 150 to 159 and over 130,000 people according to the social
security databases are aged over 160 years old.
We have a healthier country than I thought, Bobby, to finish 1,039 people between the
ages of 220 and 229, one person between the age of 240 and 249, and one person is listed
at 306...
By the way, some of this stuff has been corrected, like fact-checked and stuff, and people have
described why they think that this is wrong, and that they're operating on faulty data.
But it literally doesn't matter.
It just does not matter.
I think it's just basically the goal now is basically just keep repeating it over and over
again because lying is still OP and they've realized that the dumbasses in the cult will
absolutely eat it up.
We officially do not have any interest in the truth at all.
Ain't nobody is going to recognize that these people are just straight up lying.
And it sucks because I always talk about when the Democrats lie always, but you will never I will never expect a
Single fucking Republican a commentator independent
Centrist okay to ever turn around and be like he's lying like this is just straightforwardly not true years
Balance the federal budget
I'm saying this as a sanctuary, as you can tell, I'm anti-political.
With that goal in mind, we have developed in great detail what we are calling the gold
card, which goes on sale very, very soon.
For five million dollars, we will allow the most successful job creating people from all
over the world to buy a path to U.S. citizenship.
Just like the green card, but better and more sophisticated.
And these people will have to pay tax in our country.
They won't have to pay tax from where they came.
The money that they've made, you wouldn't want to do that, but they have to pay tax,
create jobs.
They'll also be taking people out of colleges and paying for them so that we can keep
them in our country instead of having them being forced out.
Number one, at the top school as an example, being forced out and not being allowed
to stay and create tremendous numbers of jobs and great success for a company out there.
So while we take out the criminals, killers, traffickers, and child predators who are allowed
to enter our country under the open border policy of these people, the Democrats, the
Biden administration, the open border insane policies that you've allowed to destroy
or a country, we will now bring in brilliant, hardworking job creating people.
They're going to pay a lot of money, and we're going to reduce our debt with that money.
Have given us a mandate for bold and profound change.
For nearly 100 years, the federal bureaucracy has grown until it has crushed our freedoms,
ballooned our deficits, and held back America's potential in every possible way.
The nation founded by pioneers and risk-takers now drowns under millions and millions of pages
of regulations and debt, approvals that should take 10 days to get, instead, take 10 years,
15 years, and even 20 years before you're rejected.
Meanwhile, we have hundreds of thousands of federal workers who have not been showing
up to work.
My administration will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will
restore true democracy to America again.
A bureaucrat who resists this change will be removed from office immediately, because
we are draining the swamp.
It's very simple.
And the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.
The next phase of our plan to deliver the greatest economy in history is Congress.
You call them a genius, that's what you call them on their centers.
Everybody is in there, they're waiting for you to vote.
I'm a centrist by the way, you call Elon a genius, an unelectable genius.
I believe the Republican right, but my right here, I'm sure you're going to vote for those
tax cuts, because otherwise I don't believe the people will ever vote you into office,
so I'm doing a big favor by telling you that, but I know this group is going
to be voting for the tax.
We had tremendous success in our first term, we had a very big part of our plan,
seeking permanent income tax cuts all across the board.
And to get urgently needed relief to Americans, and especially hard by inflation, I'm calling
for no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on social security benefits for our
great seniors.
Also want to make interest payments on car loans tax deductible, but only if the car
is made in a manner.
Yeah, check.
Don't write any stupid in the check.
You will get banned.
You will get into the class, okay?
And by the way, we're going to have growth in the auto industry like nobody's ever seen.
Plants are opening up all over the place.
Deals are being made.
Where are these plants opening up?
That's a combination of the election win and tax.
Where are the plants opening up?
If there's any new plants that have opened up,
it's directly a consequence of the branded administration's policies.
You've only been in office for, like, what, 30 fucking days?
Get out of here.
Absolutely boom.
I spoke to the majors today, all three, the top people, and they're so excited.
In fact, already numerous car companies have announced that they will be building massive
automobile plants in America, with Honda just announcing a new plant in Indiana, one of
the largest anywhere in the world.
And this has taken place since our great victory on November 5th, a date which will hopefully
go down as one of the most important in the history of our country.
In addition, as part of our tax cuts, we want to cut taxes on domestic production and all
manufacturing.
And just as we did before, we will provide 100 percent expensing.
It will be retroactive to January 20, 2025.
And it was one of the main reasons why our tax cuts were so successful in our first
term, giving us the most successful economy in the history of our country, first term.
We had a great first term.
If you don't make your product in America, however, under the Trump administration, you
will pay a tariff, and in some cases, a rather large one.
Other countries have used tariffs against us for decades, and now it's our turn to
start using them against those other countries.
average the European Union, China, Brazil, India, Mexico and Canada, have you heard of
them? And countless other nations charges Trump.
I hate Trump, but I love when he says, have you heard of them about some of the most
like, like everyone's heard of it things. Like, yes, we've heard about China and Mexico
and Canada.
our products is twice. What we charge them and South Korea is four times higher.
I love the rhetorical question joke. I know that's the joke. I love when he makes that
joke in so many other ways to South Korea, but that's what happens. It's such a childish
thing. It's such a rampage joke to make. The system is not fair to the United States.
It never was. And so on April 2nd, I wanted to make it April 1st, but I didn't want
be accused of April Fool's Day. That's what that's not just one day was of course
there's a lot of money but we're going to do it in April. I'm a very
superstitious person. April 2nd, reciprocal tariffs kick in and whatever
they tariff us other countries we will tariff them. That's reciprocal back and
for. Whatever they tax us, we will tax them. If they do non-monetary tariffs to keep us
out of their market, then we will do non-monetary barriers to keep them out of our market. It's
a lot of that, too. They don't even allow us in their market. We will take in trillions
and trillions of dollars that create jobs like we have never seen before. I did it
with China and I did it with others and the Biden administration couldn't do anything about
it because there was so much money they couldn't do anything about it.
We have been ripped off for decades by nearly every country on earth and we will not let
that happen any longer.
There has been said over the last three months about Mexico and Canada, but we have
very large deficits with both of them, but even more importantly, they've allowed
fentanyl to come into our country at levels never seen before, killing hundreds of thousands
of our citizens and many very young, beautiful people destroying families. Nobody's ever
seen anything like it.
Well, I'm talking about, first of all, subsidies of billions of dollars. We pay subsidies
to Canada and to Mexico of hundreds of billions of dollars that the United States
will not be doing that any longer.
We're not going to do it any longer.
Thanks to our America First policies we're putting into place,
we have had $1.7 trillion of new investment in America
in just the past few weeks.
The combination of the election and our economic policies
that people of SoftBank, one of the most brilliant
anywhere in the world, announced a $200 billion
investment. Open AI and Oracle, Larry Ellison, announced $500 billion investment, which they
wouldn't have done if Kamala had won. Apple announced $500 billion investment. Tim Cook
called me. He said, I cannot spend it fast enough. It's going to be much higher than that, I believe.
They'll be building their plants here instead of in China.
And just yesterday, Taiwan, semiconductor, the biggest in the world, most powerful in
the world, has a tremendous amount, 97 percent of the market, announced a $165 billion investment
to build the most powerful chips on earth right here in the USA, giving them any money.
Your CHIPS Act is a horrible, horrible thing.
give hundreds of billions of dollars and it doesn't mean a thing. They take our
money and they don't spend it. All that meant to them were giving them no money.
All that was important to them was they didn't want to pay the tariffs so they
came and they're building and many other companies are coming. We don't have to
give them money. We just want to protect our businesses and our people
and they will come because they won't have to pay tariffs if they build in
America. So it's very amazing. You should get rid of the chip act and
And whatever is left over, Mr. Speaker, you should use it to reduce debt, or any other reason you want to.
Our new trade policy will also be great for the American farmer. I love the farmer.
And I'll be selling into our home market, the USA, because nobody is going to be able to compete with you.
Because those goods that come in from other countries and companies, they're really, really
in a bad position in so many different ways.
They're unexpected.
They may be very dirty and disgusting, and they come in and they pour in, and they
hurt our American farmers.
The tariffs will go on agricultural product coming into America, and our farmers starting
on April 2.
It may be a little bit of an adjustment period.
We had that before when I made the deal with China.
50 billion dollars of purchases,
and I said, just bear with me.
And they did.
They did.
Probably have to bear with me again.
And this will be even better.
That was great.
The problem with it was that Biden didn't enforce it.
He didn't enforce it.
50 billion dollars of purchases.
And we were doing great, but Biden did not enforce it.
And it hurt our farmers,
but our farmers are gonna have a field day right now.
So to our farmers, have a lot of fun.
I love you too.
I love you too.
We're gonna have fun.
I love you.
You're all gonna lose so much revenue, farmers.
My big, beautiful farmers.
Just a period of adjustment.
Your families are gonna starve.
As an example, steel and lots of other things.
We don't have a military and frankly won't have,
we just won't have a country very long.
Here today is a proud American steel worker,
fantastic person from Decatur, Alabama.
Jeff Denard has been working at the same steel plant
for 27 years in a job that has allowed him to serve as
the captain of his local volunteer fire department,
raised seven children with his beautiful wife, Nicole,
and over the years, provided a loving home
for more than 40 foster children.
So great, Jeff.
Good job, Clapper himself.
Stories like Jeff's remind us that tariffs
are not just about protecting American jobs.
They're about protecting the soul of our country.
Tariffs are about making America rich again
and making America great again,
And it's happening, and it will happen rather quickly.
There'll be a little disturbance, but we're OK with that.
It won't be much.
No, you're not, oh.
And look where Biden took us, very low, the lowest we've ever
been.
Jeff, I want to thank you very much.
And I also want to recognize another person who
has devoted herself to foster care community.
She worked so hard on it.
A very loving person, our magnificent first lady of the United States.
Claudia's work has yielded incredible results, helping prepare our nation's future leaders
as they enter the workforce.
Our first lady is joined by two impressive young women, very impressive.
Hailey Ferguson, who benefited from the first lady sponsoring the future initiative.
Does she get smacked in the head too, bro?
What's going on?
Her education become a teacher.
Some of these people that he brings on are so, it's just like you're dunking on them,
you know?
Look at the timing of this article, Breaking China announces 7.2% increase in defense spending,
uh oh.
And this is so important, thank you very much, John, John Thurman, thank you, stand up John.
Thank you, John.
He's so weird.
Thank you all very much.
He's so weird when he refers to people.
He's so freaking weird when he talks about stuff, but he has no capacity to talk about
people in an empathetic way.
It's odd, dude.
It's such a strange way to refer to humans, especially women.
He does this a lot.
Thank you.
And I'm going to use that bill for myself, too, if you don't mind, because nobody gets
treated worse than I do online.
Nobody.
That's great.
Thank you very much to the Senate.
Thank you.
But if we truly care about protecting Americans' children, no step is more crucial than securing
America's borders.
Over the past four years, 21 million people poured into the United States.
of them were murders, human traffickers, gang members, and other criminals from the streets
of dangerous cities all throughout the world because of Joe Biden's insane and very dangerous
open border policies. They are now strongly embedded in our country, but we are getting
them out and getting them out fast. And, Christy, I want to thank you and Paul of
Board of Patrol, I want to thank you, what a job.
They've all done everybody.
Board of Patrol, ICE, law enforcement in general is incredible.
We have to take care of our law enforcement.
Good.
We have to.
Last year, a brilliant 22-year-old nursing student named Lakin Riley, the best in her
class admired by everybody, went out for a jog on the campus of the University
of Georgia.
That morning, Lakin was viciously attacked, assaulted, beaten, brutalized, and horrifically
murdered.
Lakin was stolen from us by a savage illegal alien gang member who was arrested while trespassing
across Biden's open southern border and then set loose into the United States under the
heartless policies of that failed administration.
It was indeed a failed administration.
He had then been arrested and released in a Democrat-run sanctuary city, a disaster,
before ending the life of this beautiful young angel.
With us this evening are Lachens' beloved mother, Allison, and her sister, Lauren.
Why is the dad not there?
You know why.
Because the dad, I think it was the dad that said, please don't make my daughter's
that political and use it as a cudgel against like migrants, right?
Last year, I felt like it's worth it to say that we would ensure their daughter would
not have died in vain.
That's why the very first bill I signed into law as your 47th president mandates the detention
of all dangerous criminal aliens who threaten public safety.
It's a very strong, powerful act.
The Lakin-Reilly Act. So Allison and Lauren America will never, ever forget.
This political instrument, instrumentalization of something like this is really disgusting.
Yeah. It's fairly, it's super commonplace now. Trump definitely accelerated it. It used to happen.
Back in the day, there was like some repercussions for it. There was some backlash to it.
But I mean, one of the more famous instances is the Willie Horton incident.
They've always, Republicans have always done this, though.
They always use, like, humans as props.
My administration has launched the most sweeping border
and immigration crackdown in American history,
and we quickly achieved the lowest numbers
of illegal border crosses ever recorded.
Thank you.
And our friends in the Democrat Party
kept saying we needed new legislation.
We must have legislation to secure the border.
But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
Joe Biden didn't just open our borders.
He flew illegal aliens over them to overwhelm our schools,
hospitals, and communities throughout the country.
Entire towns like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio,
buckled under the weight of the migrant occupation
and corruption.
Like nobody's ever seen before, beautiful towns destroyed.
Now, just as I promised in my inaugural address,
we are achieving the great liberation of America.
There is still is much work to be done.
Here tonight is a woman I have gotten to know,
Alexis Nungari from Houston, wonderful woman.
Last June, Alexis's 12-year-old daughter,
her precious Jocelyn, walked to a nearby convenience store.
She was kidnapped, tied up, assaulted for two hours under a bridge, and horrifically murdered.
Arrested in charge with his heinous crime are two illegal alien monsters from Venezuela,
released into America by the last administration through their ridiculous open border.
The death of this beautiful 12-year-old girl in the agony of her mother and family
touched our entire nation greatly. Alexis, I promised that we would always remember
your daughter, your magnificent daughter, and earlier tonight I signed an order keeping
my word to you. One thing I have learned about Jocelyn is that she loved animals so
much she loved nature. By the way, Eliza Slotkin, Democrat's choice
for responding to the State of the Union here,
voted for the Lake and Raleigh Act.
Refuge.
If you want to understand where the Democrats are going
with their future vision.
Sanctuary for all of God's creatures.
On the edge of the Gulf of America,
Alexis, moments ago, I formally renamed that refuge
in loving memory of your beautiful daughter, Jocelyn.
So, Mr. Vice President, if you would, may I have the order?
Thank you very much.
All three savages charged with Jocelyn and Lakin.
Some of the judges are doing land acknowledgments
with her migrant crime victims.
They say in the world, known as...
The difference is the Democrats don't do anything
after land acknowledgments.
Republicans use that as an opportunity
to deport every undocumented migrant.
Foreign terrorist organizations.
officially in the same category as ISIS and that's not good for them. Countless
thousands of these terrorists were welcomed into the US by the Biden administration.
We're getting to how much we can get up and forcibly removed from our country or
if they're too dangerous put in jails standing trial in this country because
we don't want them to come back ever. With us this evening is a warrior on the
front lines of that battle. Border Patrol Agent Roberto Ortiz, great guy. In January,
Roberto and another agent were patrolling by the Rio Grande near an area known as Cartel
Island. Doesn't sound too nice to me. When heavily armed gunmen started shooting at
them, Roberto saw that his partner was totally exposed, great danger, and he left into
action returning fire and providing crucial seconds for his fellow agent to seek safety
just and just barely. I have some of the prints of that event and it was not good. Agent Ortiz
we salute you for your great courage and for your line of fire that you took and for the
bravery that you showed we honor you and we will always honor you. Thank you Roberto
very much. And I actually got to know him on my many calls to the border. He's a great,
great gentleman. The territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely
by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture, and exercise total control. They have total
control. Chatters 52% of Customs and Border Patrol is Hispanic, at least the like
last time I checked, which is like in 2022 or something.
and it's time for a minute to wait for the cartels,
which we like to have.
Nights ago, Mexican authorities,
because of our tariff policies being imposed on them,
think of this, handed over to us 29
of the biggest cartel leaders in their country.
That has never happened before.
They wanna make us happy, first time ever.
That's literally not true.
They always need Mexico and Canada to do much more than they've done and they have to stop.
Cartel bosses, what are these, what?
Infectionals and drugs pouring into the USA, they're going to stop it.
I have sent Congress a detailed funding request, laying out exactly how we will eliminate
these threats to protect our homeland and complete the largest deportation operation
in American history, larger even than current record holder President Dwight D. Eisen
are a moderate man but someone who believed very strongly in borders. Americans expect
Congress to send me this funding without delay.
No, they don't. Yes they do.
So I can sign it into law, sir.
I'm saying that they usually don't because of capital punishment, but there are plenty
of big cartel bosses that have been sent to America.
Good to hear that, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Mr. Leader, thank you. Thank you very much.
And let's get it to me. I'll sign it so fast. You won't even believe it.
No, they don't. What are you saying?
And as we reclaim our sovereignty, we must also bring back law and order to our cities
and towns.
In recent years, how the justice has been drained upside down by radical left lunatics.
Many jurisdictions virtually seized enforcing the law against dangerous repeat offenders
while weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents like me.
My administration has acted swiftly and decisively to restore fair, equal, and impartial justice
under the Constitutional Rule of Law, starting at the FBI and the DOJ PAM.
Good luck.
Cash, wherever you may be.
Good luck.
Good luck.
PAM bomb.
Good luck.
So important.
important. He's gonna do a great job. Cash, thank you. Thank you, Cash. Always looks like
he's doing, he's up to some cryptocurrency scheming. Like he dresses like a cryptocurrency
road puller. We're also once again giving our police officers the support, protection
and respect. They so dearly deserve, they have to get it. They have such a hard, dangerous
job but we're gonna make it less dangerous. The problem is the bad guys
don't respect the law but they're starting to respect it and they soon will
respect it. This also includes our great fire departments throughout the country.
Our firemen and women are unbelievable people and I will never forget them and
besides that they voted for me in record numbers so I have no chance. 31 year old
New York police officer Jonathan Diller, unbelievably wonderful person and a
great officer was gunned down at a traffic stop on Long Island. I went to his funeral.
The vicious criminal charged with his murder had 21 prior arrests and they were rough arrests.
He was a real bad one. The thug in the seat next to him had 14 prior arrests and went
by the name of killer. He was killer. He killed other people. They say a lot of them.
I attended Officer Diller's service and when I met his wife and one year old son, Ryan,
it was very inspirational actually.
His widow's name is Stephanie, and she is here tonight, Stephanie.
Thank you very much, Stephanie.
Thank you very much.
Stephanie, we're going to make sure that Ryan knows his dad was a true hero, New
York's finest, and we're going to get these cold-blooded killers and repeat offenders
off our streets so we're going to do it fast.
Got to stop it.
They get out with 28 arrests.
They push people into subway trains.
They hit people over their head, back of their head
with baseball bats.
We got to get them out of here.
I've already signed an executive order
requiring a mandatory death penalty
for anyone who murders a police officer.
And tonight I'm asking Congress
to pass that policy into permanent law.
We're asking for a new crime bill getting tough on repeat offenders while enhancing protections
for America's police officers so they can do their jobs without fear of their lives
being totally destroyed.
They don't want to be killed.
We're not going to let them be killed.
Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police.
His name is DJ Daniel.
He is 13 years old and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer.
Bro, give him the tick-tock, bro. Give him the tick-tock, Brody. Don't do this.
But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live.
That was more than six years ago.
I have the same shirt his dad has.
Since that time DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true and DJ
has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer.
Actually a number of times the police love him, the police departments love him.
And tonight DJ we're going to do.
crazy he's using a little kid with brain cancer as a kid who wants to be a cop. Meanwhile he cut
funding the cancer research.
Officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.
Bro, you're the last one. No one else is getting brain cancer treatment. We've cut the funding.
DJ's doctors believe his cancer likely came from a chemical he was exposed to when he was
younger. From the vaccine 1975 rates of child cancer have increased by more than 40%. Good
thing we're deregulating this trend is one of the top priorities for our new presidential
commission to make America healthy again. Bro cut bro cut cancer research and he cut the
regulatory agency budgets so that more children can get cancer and we can't find a cure
for them. He's actively pointing to him. He's like, every child is going to be like DJ.
But unlike DJ, they will not get a cure because we've got it.
With the name Kennedy, you would have thought everybody over here would have been cheering.
How quickly they forget. Our goal is to get toxins out of our environment, poisons
out of our food supply and keep our children healthy and strong.
As an example, not long ago, and you can't even believe these numbers, one in 10,000 children
had autism, one in 10,000, and now it's one in 36.
There's something wrong, one in 36, think of that.
So we're going to find out what it is, and there's nobody better than Bobby and
And all of the people that are working with you, you have the best to figure out what
is going on.
Okay, Bobby, good luck.
It's a very important job.
Thank you.
Our administration is also working to protect our children from toxic ideologies in our
schools.
A few years ago, January, little John and her husband discovered that their daughter's
school had secretly socially transitioned their 13-year-old little girl.
and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband while encouraging her daughter
to use a new name and pronouns. They, them, pronoun, actually, without telling January,
who is here tonight and is now a courageous advocate against this form of child abuse.
January, thank you.
Classy.
Stories like this are why, shortly after taking office, I signed an executive order
banning public schools from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology.
They also signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the
sexual mutilation of our youth.
I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on
children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body.
This is a big line to every child in America, is that you are perfect exactly the way God
made you.
Unless God made you friends, unless God made you friends, then bye-bye, because we're getting
wokeness out of our schools and out of our military and it's already out and it's out
of our society.
We don't want it.
Wokeness is trouble.
Wokeness is bad.
gone. It's gone. And we feel so much better for it. Don't we? Don't we feel better? Our
service members won't be activists and ideologues. They will be fighters and warriors. They will
fight for our country. And Pete, congratulations. Secretary of Defense. And he's not big into
the woke movement, I can tell you. I know him well.
I am pleased to report that in January the U.S. Army had its single best recruiting
month in 15 years, and that all armed services are having among the best recruiting results
ever in the history of our services.
What a difference.
It was just a few months ago where the results were exactly the opposite.
We couldn't recruit anywhere.
We couldn't recruit.
Now we're having the best results just about that we've ever had.
What a tremendous turnaround.
It's really a beautiful thing to see.
People love our country again.
It's very simple.
They love our country and they love being in our military again.
So it's a great thing and thank you very much.
Great job.
We're joined tonight by a young man, Jason Hartley, who knows the weight of that call
of duty.
Jason's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all wore the uniform.
Jason tragically lost his dad, who was also a Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Deputy when he was just a boy,
and now he wants to carry on the family legacy of service.
Jason is a senior in high school, a six-letter varsity athlete,
a really good athlete, they say, a brilliant student
with a 4.46, that's good, GPA.
And his greatest dream is to attend the US Military Academy
at West Point.
They're so good, bro.
The American military is so good.
They have to parade like individuals, basically,
to be like, see, we got one.
Jason, that's a very big deal.
We got a new recruit.
I want to get into, but I please do it.
Also, coppornology is real.
Coppornology is a real science.
You're accepted.
You are sent to be joining the court.
One of the chats that the only public service
celebrated is violence.
And that was a banger chatter.
Respect.
You're right.
Every other aspect of public service is gutted.
And the only thing that they stand and salute
is like military or cops.
They're like, yeah, we love the cops.
We love the military.
No other.
Every other public servant is like watching this being like,
am I going to lose my fucking job?
Yes, sir.
As commander-in-chief, my focus is
on building the most powerful military of the future.
As a first step, I'm asking Congress
to fund a state-of-the-art golden dome missile
Fedshield to protect our homeland made in the USA
Wanted to do it long ago, but the technology just wasn't there not even close, but now we have the technology
It's incredible actually and other places. They have it Israel has it other
Places have it who else and the United States should have it to right Tim, right?
They should have it. Yeah, when Canada starts launching bathtub rockets at us when the when block cuba quah
And the in the liberation movement starts starts launching baths of rockets directly at Albany
Shipbuilding industry including commercial shipbuilding and military
the White House. The Trump not, the Trump not realize that America has defense systems?
We don't do America where it belongs. We used to make so many ships. We don't make them
anymore very much, but we're going to make them very fast, very soon. It will have a
huge impact. To further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming
the Panama Canal, and we've already started doing it.
Wait, what? He's gonna be renamed the Panama Canal. Wait, what?
Yesterday a large American company announced they are buying all of what's around the Panama
Canal and lots of other things having to do with the Panama Canal and a couple of other
canals. The Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others, but others
people in Panama. But it was built at tremendous cost of American blood and
treasure. 38,000 workers died building the Panama Canal. They died of malaria, they
died of snake bites, and mosquito is not a nice place to work. They paid them very
highly to go there knowing there was a 25% chance that they would die. The
most expensive project also that was ever built in our country's history if
you're bringing up to modern-day costs. It was given away by the Carter administration
for $1, but that agreement has been violated very severely. We didn't give it to China.
We gave it to Panama, and we're taking it back. Go, Rubio in charge. Good luck, Marco.
Now, we know who to blame if anything goes wrong. Now, Marco has been amazing, and
he's going to do a great job.
Think of it, he got 100 votes.
You know, he was approved with actually 99,
but the 100th was this gentleman,
and I feel very certain.
So let's assume he got 100 votes,
and I'm either very, very happy about that,
or I'm very concerned about it.
But he's already approved, but I mean,
he's a great gentleman.
He's respected by everybody,
and we appreciate you voting for Marco.
He's going to do a fantastic job, thank you.
Thank you.
He's doing a great job, great job.
And I also have a message tonight for the incredible people
of Greenland.
We strongly support your right to determine your own future.
And if you choose, we welcome you
into the United States of America.
Oh, they're doing, are they going to do a Psyop?
National security and even international security.
Wait, maybe they are going to do a manufacturer like Gazette.
We need it really for international world security.
Talk about how like the indigenous population in Greenland actually wants decolonialization
by joining America or some shit.
We will keep you safe.
We will make you rich and together.
Color revolution in Greenland.
We have the rights like you have.
How is he going to do it though?
He cut USAID.
It's a very small population, but very, very large piece of land and very, very important
for military security.
America is once again standing strong against the forces of radical Islamic terrorism.
Three and a half years ago, ISIS terrorists killed 13 American service members and countless
others in the abigate bombing during the disastrous and incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Not that they were withdrawing.
It was the way they withdrew.
Perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
Tonight, I am pleased to announce that we have just apprehended the top terrorist responsible
for that atrocity, and he is right now on his way here to face the swift sword of American
justice.
Thank especially the government of Pakistan for helping arrest this monster.
This was a very momentous day for those 13 families, who I actually got to know very
very well, most of them, whose children were murdered and the many people that were so badly
over 42 people so badly injured on that fateful day in Afghanistan, what a horrible day.
Such incompetence was shown.
That when Putin saw what happened, I guess he said, wow, maybe this is my chance.
That's how bad it was.
Should have never happened.
Grossly incompetent people.
I spoke to many of the parents and loved ones,
and they're all in our hearts tonight.
Just spoke to them on the phone.
We had a big call.
So it was in rare Pakistan.
W and Asim and Gulchak.
Everybody was on the line.
W, Pakistan.
They did nothing but cry with happiness.
They were very happy.
As happy as you can be under those circumstances.
Their child, brother, sister, son, daughter
was killed for no reason whatsoever in the Middle East.
James are walking out of thought of a Bernie, then Van Hollen, now a lot more.
In my first term we achieved one of the most groundbreaking peace agreements in generations.
Steve Gokal.
The Abraham Accords.
Gokal.
My God.
We're going to build on that foundation to create a more peaceful and prosperous future
for the entire region.
A lot of things are happening in the Middle East.
People have been talking about that so much lately
with everything going on with Ukraine and Russia.
A lot of things are happening in the Middle East.
Rough neighborhoods.
A lot of things.
I'm also working tirelessly
to end the savage conflict in Ukraine.
Millions of Ukrainians and Russians
have been needlessly killed
or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict
with no end in sight.
The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense.
With no security, with no security.
Do you want to keep it going for another five years?
Yeah, yeah, you would say Pocahontas says yes.
What the fuck?
Two thousand people are being killed every single week.
More than that.
Russian young people, they're Ukrainian young people, they're not Americans, but I wanted
to stop.
Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have
spent on defending Ukraine by far.
Think of that.
They've spent more buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending.
And we've spent perhaps $350 billion, like taking candy from a baby.
what happened. And they've spent a hundred billion dollars. What a difference that is.
And we have an ocean separating us, and they don't. But we're getting along very well
with them, and lots of good things are happening.
Biden has authorized more money in this fight than Europe has spent by billions and billions
of dollars. It's hard to believe that they wouldn't have stopped it and said at
At some point, come on, let's equalize.
You got to be equal to us, but that didn't happen.
Earlier today, I received an important letter
from President Zelensky of Ukraine.
The letter reads, Ukraine is ready to come
to the negotiating table as soon as possible
to bring lasting peace closer.
Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians, he said.
My team and I stand ready to work
under President Trump's strong leadership
To get a peace that lasts, we do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain
its sovereignty and independence.
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time.
That is convenient for you.
I appreciate that he sent this letter, just got it a little while ago.
Simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with Russia and have received strong signals
that they are ready for peace.
Wouldn't that be beautiful?
Wouldn't that be beautiful?
It's time to stop this madness.
It's time to halt the killing.
It's time to end the senseless war.
If you want to end wars, you have to talk to both sides.
Nearly four years ago amid rising tensions, a history teacher named Mark Fogel was
detained in Russia and sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony. Rough stuff. The previous
administration barely lifted a finger to help him. They knew he was innocent, but they had
no idea where to begin. That's crazy. But last summer I promised his 95 year old mother,
Malpheem. She looks great for 95 by the way. Gosh damn.
me back home. After 22 days in office, I did just that. And they are here tonight.
Oh, damn. Bro, get her a job in Congress. What do you mean? She looks prior than half
of Congress, dude, at 95. Game, game. Social security fraudster in five years. We're
We're gonna cut our social security so good
To mark and his great mom we are delighted to have you safe and sound and with us as
Fate would have it Mark Fogel was born in a small rural town in Butler
Pennsylvania have you heard of it where his mother has lived for the
78 years I
I just happened to go there last July 13th for a rally.
Uh-oh.
That was not pleasant.
And that is where I met his beautiful mom right before I walked on to that stage.
And I told her I would not forget what she said about her son.
And I never did, did I? Never forgot. Less than 10 minutes later at that same
rally, gunfire rang out, and a sick and deranged assassin unloaded eight bullets from his sniper's
perch into a crowd of many thousands of people. My life was saved by a fraction of an inch,
but some were not so lucky. Corey Comparator was a firefighter, a veteran, a Christian,
husband, a devoted father, and above all, a protector. When the sound of gunshots pierced
the air, it was a horrible sound. Cory knew instantly what it was and what to do. He threw
himself on top of his wife and daughters and shielded them from the bullets with his
own body. Corey was hit really hard. You know the story from there? He sacrificed his life
to save theirs. He's so weird, dude. He cannot. He cannot talk about this shit normal. Corey
was hit really hard. There's something wrong with him.
those doctors had great talent, were joined by Corey's wife, Helen, who was his high school
sweetheart and their two beloved daughters, Allison and Kaylee.
Thank you.
Butler, Pennsylvania is so flat, like Ukraine, the only thing that can stop a bullet is a
person's body.
The beautiful domes of Butler will shine again when I call for a ceasefire in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Just like Ukraine.
The weird guy.
To Helen Allison and Kaylee Corey is looking down on his three beautiful ladies right now
and he is cheering you on.
He loves you.
He is cheering you on.
Corey was taken from us much too soon, but his destiny was to leave us all with a shining
example of the selfless devotion of a true American patriot. It was love like Corey's
the girl in the middle lived up.
And it's not Corey's that is going to make our country more majestic.
I don't think so. I don't think I believe that my life, you can't tell any longer.
The only thing you can tell is when Trump supporters have a specific type of makeup to make America
great again, I believe that. Thank you very much. From the patriots of Lexington and Concord to the
heroes of Gettysburg and Normandy, from the warriors who crossed the Delaware to the trailblazers,
who climbed the Rockies, and from the legends who soared at Kitty Hawk to the astronauts who
touched the moon, Americans have always been the people who defied all arts, transcended
all dangers made the most extraordinary sacrifices and did whatever it took.
I'm a communist, I find it rude to downplay this Corgi I did. Wait, what? I didn't say,
I wasn't downplaying that. I'm making fun of Donald Trump. And the way he talks about it
he's so fucking rude and disrespectful even when he's supposed to be showing support.
to censor us, silence us, break us, destroy us.
Americans are today a proud, free, sovereign, and independent nation that will always be
free, and we will fight for it till death.
We will never let anything happen to our beloved country, because we are a country
of doers, dreamers, fighters, and survivors.
Our ancestors crossed the vast ocean.
I've never heard a comedy say it as a comedy. Yeah, that person was not a comedy, but I don't
want to give a shit. No, I know when he's rapping up, this is like rap of a portion.

Now it is our time to take up the righteous cause of American liberty, and it is our
turn to take America's destiny into our own hands and begin the most thrilling
days in the history of our country.
This will be our greatest era.
With God's help over the next four years, we are going to lead this nation even higher,

Pause he was wrapping it up. I know he I know his speech patterns
A political is obviously a good speech. He became president tonight. Well, I'll let the
I'll let Lester Holt do the talking in that regard.
So they many would agree probably weren't helpful, including those protests we saw early
by some democratic. Yeah, that's the that's the unhelpful part. The Democrats protesting
at the request of the speaker.
And the president talking about his agenda,
talks about the terrorist that of course
had just found into effect this weekend.
It's certainly doubled down on that strategy
and said that indicated there would be more to come.
It talks about foreign policy
and it appeared that he is ready to move forward with Ukraine
but talks a lot about Ukraine and Russia
and getting a peace deal,
something that is very much at the top of mind.
And then a lot of the cultural issues, a lot of time spent on some of the more controversial
federal programs that he says his Department of Government Efficiency is cutting.
So a wide-ranging and as mentioned the longest speech ever in the State of the Union or a
joint address.
So he now holds the top spot there.
Just go to Krista Walker for your thoughts.
Savannah, I was struck by the fact that after that rocky start when Congressman
Algreen was removed for jeering at him. This really became a speech about cultural issues,
a culture war speech, if you will. And he spent about 20 minutes on it. Took him 20 minutes to
talk about the top issue for voters, which is, by the way, the economy. He also talked about
immigration, the environment, government censorship, all of those things. A couple of headlines.
You talked about tariffs. That's obviously a huge issue, because there's a lot of concern
among some Republicans that the tariffs that he's imposed against Mexico and Canada and
China can drive up prices.
He acknowledged there will be a little disturbance and it will require a little adjustment.
That is significant.
That's the furthest that he's ever leaned into that.
On foreign policy, he announced that the top terrorist responsible for the advocate
bombing is being thrown to the U.S., is going to face justice.
And notably on Ukraine, I thought that was one of the biggest headlines of the
the night after that explosive Oval Office meeting, the president seeming to indicate
some progress has been made.
President Zelensky sending him a note indicating he wants to make his first move forward on
that in a little bit, to Trump's address, and saying that he's had some significant
conversations with the Russians as well, he said it would be beautiful to get a deal.
So I think those are sort of the significant headlines, but again, so notable that he
He's not alive yet.
He's really focused on those culture war issues and reminder that that's part of-
Bro, every- let me tell you something, okay?
This is- this Trump speech was basically just a rally.
And just like every other Trump rally, it was so perfectly chock full of idiotic nonsense
that doesn't actually help anybody and simply harms some of the more vulnerable populations
that exists within the boundaries of the United States of America and it played a role of
distraction.
Let's get the Bernard Sanders.
He said something that is grossly false, say it over and over again, and have right-wing
social media blasted out endless times until people actually believe it.
And then rather than address the real issues facing the American people, the struggles
that the American people are facing, we find ourselves wasting endless amounts of time
discussing Trump's absurdities.
Let me just give you a very few examples.
Trump claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from him and that he won by a landslide
remember that a lie Trump claimed that the January 6th insurrection was a
lot of love a lie Trump has claimed that millions of undocumented people is
bad bro and do vote in American elections a lie let me sleep and oh my god
I feel bad in China a lie Trump has claimed that Ukraine started the
horrific war with Russia a lie. And tonight, just tonight, Trump claimed that millions
of dead people between the ages of 100 and 360, I guess, were collecting social security
checks. And that is an outrageous lie intended to lay the groundwork, the cuts to social
security, and dismantling the most successful and popular government program in history.
So let's be clear about that.
Well, over 99% of social security checks
are going out to people who earned those checks.
70 million Americans.
Nobody, nobody who was 150 years old or 200 years old
or 300 years old is receiving social security checks.
And on and on the lies go.
Now, the purpose of all of this lying
is not just to push his hateful right-wing ideology.
It is not just to try to divide us up.
It is more than that.
It is a masterful effort.
And you saw that tonight to deflect attention away
from the most important issues facing
the people of our country, issues
Trump and his billionaire friends do not want to address because it is not in
their financial interest to do so. Trump gave his State of the Union speech
tonight, but if you listen closely, that speech had very little to say about the
state of the union about what is really going on in our country, especially for working families.
Trump spoke for over 90 minutes, I must confess it seemed a lot longer than that, and he almost
completely ignored the issues that are keeping working people up at night as they worry about
how their families are going to survive in these very tough times.
And I will tell you exactly why Trump had very little to say about the real crises facing
the working class of this country.
Think back six weeks ago, when Trump was inaugurated for his second term as president just six
weeks ago, standing right behind them were the three wealthiest men in this country,
Mr. Musk, Mr. Bezos, and Mr. Zuckerberg, and standing behind them were 13 other billionaires
who Trump had nominated to head major government agencies.
Many of the same billionaires, including Musk, were in the Capitol tonight listening to
that speech.
In other words, it is there for all to see.
The Trump administration is not hiding it.
The Trump administration is a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire
class, and for the billionaire class.
Notwithstanding some of their rhetoric, this is a government that could care less about
ordinary Americans and the working families of our country. My friends, we are no longer
moving toward oligarchy. We are living in an oligarchic society. Now let's take a moment
and try to escape from Trump's parallel universe, the universe that you heard tonight. Let's
Let's do something really, really radical.
Let's actually take a hard look at the problems that Americans are facing.
Today, 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
Unlike Trump, I grew up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck, and I know something
about that reality.
It means that every day, every day, millions of Americans worry about how they're going
to pay their rent.
for childcare. Pay for a doctor's visit when they get sick. They worry about what happens
when their car breaks down and they can't afford the thousand bucks it costs to get
it fixed. And what happens when they can't get to work because they don't have a car.
They worry about how they can afford to buy healthy food for their kids when the price
of food is off the charts. Funny. I heard Trump speaking for 90 minutes
tonight. I didn't hear one word from him about the economic reality facing 60% of our
people or the enormous stress that they are living under 90 minutes speech. Not one word
about the economic reality facing American workers. But that's not all.
And you see his live as well. Everyone knows that our health care system is broken. It
It is dysfunctional and it is outrageously expensive.
We remain the only wealthy nation on earth not to guarantee health care.
I just felt you really want to make America great again and make sure that every of us
could.
I didn't feel like I could.
That's your way.
As you have to say.
I've heard Bernie Sanders.
He's saying the same stuff he's been saying.
That being said, you know, I know different people had different takes on it.
in terms of the House of Representatives,
I'll give you an alternative perspective,
in terms of the House of Representatives,
some people feel, and it is true that
the State of the Union occurs
in the House of Representatives,
known as the People's House.
Um, and technically in terms of the proceedings of the state of the union, an interesting
thing about the house is that it is different from almost every other chamber in that only
house members are typically allowed in the house of representatives.
So I'm not going to lie, I mean, before people say, oh, AOC is weak or whatever.
House has to be invited.
Virtually everyone is just doing their best,
but not very strongly invited to the House floor
in order to be allowed into the House floor.
Same thing with all those senators and the cabinet
members, et cetera.
So I think other people had a certain logic, which
is that this is the people's house.
and Trump showing up should not kind of force the duly elected representatives of that chamber,
especially those who disagree with him, out. So, you know, that's some of the perspective there.
Anyways, I watched from home and if you did, if you didn't, honestly, and this is like,
I listen to Trump.
I do because he has won two presidential elections.
Now the first one was not by popular vote.
In the second vote, he has not won more than 50% of the U.S. electorate, but he has won these
elections nevertheless.
So I listened to him.
I listened to what he says as an observer, and I have to do it.
During his speech tonight, Trump did not have one word to say about how we are going
to address the planetary crisis of climate change.
The last 10 years, as most Americans know,
have been the warmest ever recorded.
And extreme weather disturbances and natural disasters
have been taking place all over the world,
from California to India, across Europe to North Carolina.
And yet, not surprisingly, Trump had nothing
to say about climate change, except, I guess, drill,
baby, drill.
Well, that's going to help a whole lot.
And let's be clear.
Not only did Trump fail to talk about some of the most
important issues facing the working class of America,
but the solutions, in quote, he proposed,
would only make a bad situation even worse.
Yep, I did hear Trump talk tonight
about some tax breaks for working families
in terms of not taxing tips, not taxing social security,
not taxing overtime. Fine. But that is chump change compared to the benefits he's going
to give to the 1% and it doesn't tell the whole story about his tax policies. According
to a recent study by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, if all of Trump's so-called
America-
top people that are resisting Donald Trump and the Democratic
Party. Be people like Bernie Sanders. No disrespect to Bernard
but he's he's so old. While the richest 5% in our country will
see their taxes go down way down.
Tonight, in so many words, Trump urged Congress to pass his
big beautiful budget. Do you know what's really in it? This budget would cut Medicaid by 880 billion
us. Oh, I guess Trump forgot to talk about that. 880 billion dollar cut in Medicaid. According to
one estimate, it means that up to 36 million Americans, including millions of children,
would be thrown off the health insurance they have. Hey, a 90 minute speech tonight,
not one word about throwing millions of kids off of the health insurance they have.
When you cut Medicaid drastically, it means that nursing homes that receive two-thirds of
their funding from Medicaid will either have to shut down, lay off workers, or significantly scale
back the services they provide. I do want to hear Elisa Slotkin's retort here. This is what
with the democratic responses. No oversight. No protections. Just for a brief moment. No
guardrails on what they do with your private data. We need a more efficient government.
You want to cut waste? I'll help you do it. But change doesn't need to be chaotic or make
us less safe. I'm Brian Kilmey. I'm Brian Kilmey. The mindless firing of people who
work to protect our nuclear weapons, keep our planes from crashing, and keep up the
research that finds the cure for cancer. I love cutting government away. I'm a
only to rehire them two days. I'm a Democrat and I love cutting government ways. Please. I love firing
federal. I love firing federal workers. Give me the job. I'm a Lisa Slotkin. As someone who spent
my whole career protecting our homeland, every country deserves to know who and what is coming
across its border. Period. Democrats and Republicans should all be for that. Oh my God.
Securing the border without actually fixing our broken immigration system is dealing with the symptom and not the disease
America is a nation of immigrants. We need a functional system keyed to the needs of our economy
That allows vetted people to come and work here legally
So I look forward to the president's plan on that
Because here's the thing today's world is deeply interconnected
migration cyber threats AI
environmental destruction terrorism
One nation cannot face these issues alone.
We need friends in all corners and our safety depends on it.
President Trump loves to say peace through strength.
That's actually a line he stole from Ronald Reagan.
But let me tell you, after the spectacle that just took place in the Oval Office last
week, Reagan must be rolling in his grave.
I hope, I hope he is.
He's the devil.
Why?
Why would a former CIA agent hype up Ronald Reagan?
Fuck Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan just sucked my dick.
Fuck you!
Oh no! Ronald Reagan is rolling his grave. I piss on his grave.
What the fuck's wrong with this person?
Oh, liberal probably loves these shit, dude.
us the Cold War. Donald Trump's actions suggest that in his heart, he doesn't believe we're
an exceptional nation. He clearly doesn't think we should lead the world. Look, America
is not perfect, but I stand with the majority of Americans who believe we are still exceptional,
unparalleled. And I would rather have American leadership over Chinese or Russian leadership
in the day of the week. Because for generations, America has offered something better. Our
Our security and our prosperity, yes.
But our democracy, our very system of-
If she doesn't bring up Medicaid cuts, I'm done.
I can't say what I'm thinking
because I will get banned again instantly, okay?
I don't care about American hegemonic power.
No, no, stop.
No one cares about foreign policy.
Please just talk about cost of living.
Please talk about the egg prices.
Talk about the egg prices, you fucking idiot.
Talk about the egg prices.
Talk about federal employees getting fired.
Talk about the evisceration of the last bastion
of middle-class jobs with good benefits.
Please, talk about SNAP.
Talk about Medicaid.
Anything.
Those rights and the fight for them make us fall.
She's like, we got to do a NATO!
We're a nation of strivers, risk takers, innovators,
and we are never satisfied.
That is America's superpower.
And look, I've lived and worked in many countries.
I've seen democracies flicker out.
I've seen what life is like when a government is rigged.
You can't open a business without paying off a corrupt official.
You can't criticize the guys in charge without getting a knock at the door in the middle
of the night.
So as much as we need to make our government more responsive to our lives today, don't
for one moment fool yourself that democracy isn't precious and worth saving.
But how do we actually do that?
I know a lot of you have been asking that question.
First, don't tune out.
It's easy to be exhausted, but America needs you now more than ever.
If previous generations had not fought for this democracy, where would we be today?
Second, hold your elected officials, including me, accountable.
Watch how they're voting.
Go to town halls and demand they take action.
That's as American as apple pie.
Third, organize, pick just one issue you're passionate about and engage, and doomscrolling
doesn't count.
Join a group that cares about your issue and act, and if you can't find one, start one.
Some of the most important movements in our history have come from the Bottle Up.
In closing, we all know that our country is going through something right now.
We're not sure what the next day is going to hold.
So we can fucking yell at you when you demand we do stuff the first time we've experienced
Organized like the black lives matter movement so that we can fucking
Humiliate you every step of the way and tell you you are not getting any of your demands
Ultimately, we've chosen to keep changing this country for the better
But every single time we've only gotten through those moments because of two things
Organized so I former CI agent can infiltrate your movement and
And put you in jail
Organize oops don't organize in a radical socialist kind of way
So thank you tonight for caring about your country just by watching you qualify as engaged citizens
And I promised that I organize like the student protesters in my state that went to jail
Good night everyone
Bro, okay. Here's the thing. Okay. This was a a classic
classic, well-spoken, boring ass, I want to do homework ass, democratic speech, okay?
Donald Trump is over there juggling on stage, okay? He's doing tricks. He's like pulling
up flash cards. He's got pizzazz. He's like, we're gonna kill every transgender Guatemalan
migrant, and here is a victim of transgender Guatemalan migrant crime. Okay. He's dumbing
down the rhetoric, one, because he's dumb, and two, because, I mean, he's just a, he's
a television guy, okay?
Meanwhile, Democrats are like, I want to cut government. I hate wasteful spending in
the federal government. Do not concede on your opponents framing, okay? Do not. Do not
do that. Do not do that. Do not ever do that. Why are you doing that? Why are you handing
it to the Republicans? What's wrong with you? It's like I just don't understand it.
of hiding under the covers. The stakes are just too high. Let us never forget, real change
only occurs when ordinary people stand up by the millions against oppression and injustice
and fight back.
That is the history of the founding of our nation
when brave men and women took on the mighty, invincible
British empire.
It is the history of the abolitionist movement,
the history of the labor movement,
the history of the civil rights movement,
the women's movement, the environmental movement,
and the gay rights movement.
Yes.
Bernie's woke and gay.
The oligarchs are enormously powerful.
I deal with them every day.
I know that.
Yes, they have endless amounts of money.
Yes, they control our economy, and they
own much of the media.
They have enormous influence over our political system.
but from the bottom of my heart
i am convinced bernie was there in the american revolution happened to some
respect on it
if we stand together
and not let them divide us up
by the color of our skin
or where we were born
or our religion or the language we speak
or our sexual orientation
if we bring our people together
around an agenda that works for the many
and not just a few.
There is nothing in the world that can stop us.
We can win, we will win, let us go forward together.
Thank you all very much.
How is this, like, I'm sorry, I love Bernie,
But God damn, we got like, like the only coherent responses
coming from an 800 year old man, like lost and defeated
by Donald Trump.
It's just looks to me like they're even more lost
and even more defeated than when the speech started.
Well, there was a clear juxtaposition.
So I thought I hate this asshole.
I hate that he, I hate this and it just brings him
on to just gloat about how sick the Republicans are
over and over again.
the theatrics tonight in the chamber are not being well received and as we saw
recently at the DNC candidate forum it didn't sound like that it didn't sound
like pocketbook issues it didn't sound like saying you know my neighbors might
support Trump but that doesn't mean you're a bad person they continually
elevate people who are leaning as Republicans have but into the name
calling into the demonizing and filing articles of impeachment a few
weeks in if Democrats talk like Alyssa Slotkin they're maybe that
I don't know. I just certainly people will so one just one second certainly people who don't like name calling would have gravitated to the president's speech tonight.
Yeah, I think that they're talking about the optics Donald Trump just gave a campaign speech in the joint address. It was not a unifying speech.
And I don't really think that a lot of people want that version of what Alyssa Slotkin just gave.
I think I'll pass that damn. They're ripping it. Elizabeth locking. Okay. Maybe we could she started her telling her personal story
working for a Democrat and a Republican growing up in a Democrat and a Republican
winning a district Democrat and Republican, but
That you wouldn't know that from Donald Trump speech tonight. He's not talking Democrat and Republicans
I'm not gonna say what the Democrats did with tonight was it didn't feel like a cohesive strategy walking out staying in paddles
whatever. That's not that was not how you land the plane but I do think she laid out
the issues that are important to people and she told people what to do. I don't think this
problem honestly in the Democratic Party is going to be solved in Washington D.C. It's
going to be solved in the in the middle of the country in the south where people
are going to organize together and tell the party what they want and the direction
they want to go.
That's pretty in Doug Brinkley into our conversation, presidential historian. Doug,
You know, it is unprecedented, it's not just in the length of the speech that we just watched from the president, now we of course just saw the Democratic rebuttal from Senator Slotkin, but it was also the disarray among the Democratic response and how unprecedented was this moment that we just sat through.
Anybody who sat through and watched the entire thing.
I think President Trump did what he needed to do, but as Senator Slotkin just pointed
out, the economic issues weren't really talked about.
I mean, the big concern right now is Medicaid and Medicare, Social Security, what Trump's
going to do.
The fact that Wall Street is just diving right now, if he refuses to budge on these tariffs,
the chance that the matter is we are going to start losing momentum.
Trump seemed relaxed. He had had I think a better night than the Democrats. They
were like just I guess everybody leapt to their own. I mean Senator Wyden made
right to stay in Oregon and do town halls. However, Slotkin pulled a rabbit
out of her head. I was a very brilliant relaxed response and Andy
Bashir and hers should be the voices I think coming from the heartland of
America and I think Donald Trump left farmers from the speech a little bit
out of it in a way that he
dress them as a group in
instead of saying suffer s
it'll be slow. Well, you
So anybody watching at th
was that complete sort of
and Al Green is stabbing
and then get it appears
with Medicaid and I'm will
appear every single norma
likes what Al Green did and the Democrats are going to make it seem like he was really fucked
up for doing so.
A moment like that, we talk about the U of I.
Yeah, Al Green demonstrated courage.
He makes that same point.
Yes, he waved his fucking cane around and was screaming about Medicaid.
Okay?
That's what every Democrat should be doing.
The fuck is wrong with these people?
Every Democrat should be standing up and being like, you want to come Medicaid over
my fucking dead body?
Okay?
Yeah, he was awesome.
He was dope.
That's my expectation.
Why the fuck is it an 800 year old man from Houston that is leading the charge here and
in virtually alone?
Not the I'm back and apolitical now, okay, no longer am I apolitical, okay?
Fuck civility.
What do you mean?
It's bullshit.
It's bullshit.
All right.
Well, just coming back here to the group here, David, you know, when we were discussing
you know what percent somebody can go through and parse what percent he talked
about social issues versus not there was a lot of social issues right there was a
lot of wokeness wokeness is dead wokeness is gone yeah this is a good
take here's the if you think Trump is a fascist like Hitler was then you have to
accept that this is a ridiculous thing to do in response to Hitler's policies
some members of the German left party war purple has do you see how stupid
that sounds the meanwhile we have hundreds of thousands of federal workers
who have not been showing up to work.
My administration will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy, and we will
restore true democracy to America again.
And any federal bureaucrat who resists this change will be removed from office immediately.
Because we are draining the swamp.
It's very simple.
And the days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.
Yeah, I didn't see Elon Musk standing and cheering for that.
I think that the President met his political, probably many of his political imperatives.
He touched all the hot buttons that he touched during the campaign, and particularly on...
Anybody can get a cheer by saying, I want to cut government bureaucracy. I want to cut waste fraud and abuse.
It's when you get into the details of what you're cutting that it gets stickier.
And certainly there's a strong feeling in this country about immigration and the border.
And I thought he leaned into that.
Some of the social hot buttons, I said earlier, there's no doubt that it scores an audience.
Scott calls that common sense.
And I'm sure he's scored with that.
But the biggest single issue facing people in their lives is the economy.
And what we've seen is that still 75% of people
think the economy is fair or poor.
Here's the interview Al Green gave to C-SPAN
after getting kicked out.
Okay, fuck all this noise.
Let's take a look at what he did, okay?
The president said he had a mandate.
And I was making it clear to the president
that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid.
I have people who are very fearful.
These are poor people.
and they have only Medicaid in their lives
when it comes to their healthcare.
And I want him to know that his budget calls
for deep cuts in Medicaid.
He needs to save Medicaid protected.
We need to raise the cap on social security.
There's a possibility that it's going to be hurt
and we've got to protect Medicare.
These are the safety net programs
that people in my congressional district depend on.
And this president seems to care less
I love that
I'm willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me.
I can say to anyone, don't punish me.
Dude, Democrats are so desperate.
I like to suffer punishment, but it's worth it.
Look, you see that?
Dude, dude, I'm telling you.
The Democratic voter base, liberals
are so desperate for someone who should be like,
fuck this shit.
OK, look at that.
It has 40,000 likes in two hours.
I'm telling you right now, they need elected representatives
to actually do elected representative shit, okay?
And sometimes, yes, that involves being a little disruptive.
The base is so desperate for any sort of motion
in the direction of actually resisting against Donald Trump,
actually speaking out about the cruel nature
of his policies, his administrations, idiotic actions.
What, did POP save DMU again for another analysis?
What? I don't know any where you're talking about.
To let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
What are you saying? You have no mandate. Is that what you do?
That's what I...he has no mandate to cut Medicaid. None.
Is that the only punishment that you were kicked out, sir? Is there a punishment?
I don't know. Whatever the punishment is, I'm not fighting the punishment.
This is about the people who are being punished by virtue of losing their health care.
This is the richest country in the world and we have people who don't have good health care.
We've got to do better. And now we're about to cut Medicaid, which is for poor people.
Health care has become wealth care for many people. We can't afford to let that happen.
Is that the only thing that you're protesting?
No, I have other things that I'm protesting. And I'm also working on my Articles of Impeachment.
This president is unfit. He should not hold the office.
34 felony convictions, two times impeached.
Sir, tell me one more time what you were shouting in the chamber.
That he has no mandate to prep the Medicaid.
That's what you were saying.
That's my goat. That was great. That was great.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah. I said you have no mandate to come Medicaid.
And he's right. He's absolutely right.
No mandate.
He's right.
It's a disastrous policy.
Yeah, I saw this.
Hakeem Jeffries, there's nothing we can do.
I'm going on a book tour, Serbian Parliament.
Chaos in Serbian Parliament is opposition
sets off smoke grenades and tear gas
to protest against the government.
Like, look at that.
Look at how good things could be.
Just anything, dude.
Literally anything.
Just give me anything.
Okay, maybe, maybe don't deploy smoke grenades
because I feel like America can't deal with that.
But isn't the Greenland statement the craziest takeaway?
I mean, he kind of like back down from saying
he's gonna take Greenland.
He just said, if Greenland wants to join us, they can.
Which weirdly enough is like, I guess nicer than saying,
we are going to forcibly take Greenland.
Greenland is now ours, you know?
Also, this would probably kill half of the,
like half of the, I'm not gonna say it.
I'm like legitimately worried, I'm self-censoring now.
I can't use analogies, I can't use the term KILL ever again,
because God forbid lives of TikTok in between
calling for the execution of like doctors
who administer HRT will take the time out
to fucking complain about me, you know?
And then XQC and Asmongole will make eight YouTube videos.
being like, I can't believe, I can't believe a song would use such radical language again.
So glad we legalize comedy. No, he's wrong. The president does in fact have a mandate
for the American people to govern and do what they elected him to do. He won the electoral
college and won the popular role. He literally has the mandate. No, but okay, if we're gonna
get down to the semantics of this point, he's not saying the president hasn't doesn't
have the mandate to run the country. He's saying the president doesn't have the mandate
to cut Medicaid. And as a matter of fact, he didn't run on cutting Medicaid. He ran on preserving
Medicaid and Medicare. Okay. So what are we talking about? He's doing a bunch of stuff.
He ran on, I don't know what project 2025 is. And now he's doing project 2025 to
a T. Okay. Yeah. The video almost hit one million views in, uh, in, in 24 hours in band.
My I got canceled video. I need to do more. We have, we also have three branches of government.
No, we don't. That's the other problem. Donald Trump is also eradicating all checks
and balances. You should run for office to ensure you don't get held to such high
standards. What? Dude, I'm not, I'm not good at that.
I'm not I'm not good at that. I'm good at this
And it seems like I'm also kind of good at this as well
Apparently I didn't realize I was good at this, but people really like it
So fucking stupid that twitch banes people in response to complaining
YouTube never does and no one cares you to prescribe a twitch moderation while the platform does nothing about literal criminals
Yes, I
know
That's why virtually everyone that complains about this stuff
Usually are like kick streamers, which is ironic
Kick streamers on the timeline being like oh, this guy should have been banned for a year
And it's pretty funny. It's like dude. You're you're on the pedophile platform. Like what the fuck are you talking about?
Sit your ass down. I look you want to see your face more instead of this head on the SN7B angle, but good vid
Would your editors comment under the video? Yeah, I saw also knocks
You got to do more of these types of videos load the format. Just give me more than a few hours to edit it next time
That's the problem though. I think it's valid for a twist of ban me. I'll say it. I mean, I have said it
Like I got got it's very obvious that I wasn't calling for the assassination of a elected representative
And I think that the backlash is mostly inorganic for the most part
Specifically due to the fact that everyone understood what I was saying
But you know I
I got clipped. I got clipped in a way where I think if I had used better language, if I didn't say kill, if I had like punished, you know, everyone would understand it or rather people would have a harder time massaging this narrative.
Respond to ex-UZ? Why?
The fuck would I respond to him for?
Like, on what dude? On what? What?
What are you saying?
respond to excuse me excuse you there's a lot of takes on the on the fake state of
the union on the joint congressional address that just took place can you
please respond to him excuse you there's a lot of takes on the tariffs please just
respond my torture video bullboy and everything came out oh you say this car
batter we tried CI interrogation techniques this finally came out and see
the known politics guy please respond the known politics guy I mean wait did they did they
cut my part out because it was TOS too much oh no they didn't oh they did not cut my part
out okay W torture yeah I saw the scum are juicer s takes on torque reform please respond
the real ban reason what how do you complain about democrats being spineless and not push
back on shit like your band. You can't handle the twitch for censoring speech. I mean, dude,
I get it. Okay. I have a lot of haters. I have a lot of psychotic weirdos that actively make content
around how, uh, how much bandwidth twitch gives me. Okay. They patreon baited the waterboarding.
Oh my God. They show the lead up to your part in the video on the aftermath of the one minute
of your part is not in the video. That's crazy. Porkboy called out Musk and Trumb again. Gotta
admit this one quite didn't land quite. Since Elon's isn't the co-president. I think handing
it to the tuition normalizes. Hey Raids, it depends dude. Obviously it depends. Left wing
or right wing. I'm no wings buddy. I'm a political. I'm the number one centrist,
Big dog
I'm trying not to get
Uh canceled again
The funniest thing was like some people were saying like they didn't understand that I was joking when I said I got canceled
I took it seriously. They were like, but you love cancel culture. It's like you're an idiot. Okay
Like how do you look at this?
How do you look at this intro and think that this is like me being serious?
Um, yeah, people are very stupid
Talk about your bandwidth. How's your bandwidth are gaming today dog? It's 10 hours in and I'm very tired
What is this Lamal? Oh?
This is exactly what I did by the way. No it is straight up
this was the method like
Respect it respect a asmongole for for showing me the way the meta is I got canceled and just like wine and moan about being
Cancelled because people are yelling at you on Twitter
Of course the difference is like if I did this I would do it way more than asmongole
because I've been canceled way more than as canceled way more than as mingle. Okay?
I was waiting for you to cover the drama in the video like a tic-tac reply. Did you watch the asmine Nazi video yet?
No. Asmingle calls me a Nazi. Asmingle calling me a Nazi is pretty funny. I don't know if like that was a
deliberate attempt at humor or, or what? But I do like that. I, I person Hassan or no, he
crossed the line. Asman is a Nazi. It's obvious that twitch has
I've legit never seen someone so pressed about viewership. 90% as a, as I was vitriol
on criticism, I was coming from a place of pure unfiltered jealousy. The only person
calling as we go, the number one political humor is a song because he's the only one
who cares. Dog, what are you talking about? Look at his videos. He only does, Trump announces
massive investments 28 minutes long. Zelensky is ready for Trump's mineral deal. One million
views. Okay. I'm going to do this one more time. Hopefully people will understand. If
I do this one more time, people will understand. Okay. Let's go to Ben Shapiro's channel.
Now that we looked at also only 12 K watching lame fell, felled off. Okay. Ben Shapiro, what
does Zelensky think he's doing? 32,000 views. Trump state of the union pledge, 174,000 views.
Like Asman is absolutely comp stirring and dump stirring. Ben Shapiro, Ben Shapiro used
to be the most prominent right wing broadcaster, 7.2 million subscribers. Look at his view counts
and then look at Asmogol's view counts covering the same exact shit. That's it. Asmogol is
50 times larger than Ben Shapiro as a right-wing commentator. Why do people get so mad at this?
Like what, I just, I truly don't understand how you don't recognize what I'm saying here.
That's it. Ben Shapiro has fallen off. Asmogol has eaten his audience. It's just fact.
Hassan you have to make it clear to the idiots that you're saying this is the state of the right and now he's bigger than me I
Don't I don't think they care that I don't think they want to understand what I'm talking about
I'm saying as many gold is not just the largest political content creator on Twitch. He is the he is one of the largest
Political content creators in general. He is one of the largest right wing commentators now
That is just the reality. It is the objective reality
Which is why I find it very strange when people are just like coping about a dude who spends he spent nine hours
They watching the same shit. I was watching how the fuck do we not like what does it take for someone to be like
Okay, maybe he is political like what is it truly because right wingers don't understand
That as many gold agrees with them or has right wing opinions. So they're like that's not political
It's not political. I don't understand. I don't understand. It's not political because
I agree with them. Like what? No, he's not political, dude. It's just doing common sense.
It's like, yeah, no, he is. He is doing politics, which is fine. I mean, that's what he's doing.
He's so salty. The asthma dethroned him as a top political streamer. I'm not. I think
it's a state of affairs. It shows the state of affairs or dire because unlike asthma gold,
I do care about politics, okay? And as someone who does care about politics, as someone who
has a well-defined worldview, and is not just simply leaning on right-wing shit because
it garners a lot of attention, I do care when a lot of people are like, oh, fuck yeah. Finally,
there's a right-wing content creator. I love that. Okay. Yeah. That makes me kind of salty.
It has nothing to do with the fact that Asmogol is massive. If there was another
socialist content creator who was larger than me, I would be excited at the prospect.
Okay. When I first started my career, there were plenty of left-wing contributors who are much larger than me.
All right. I don't think people understand that. I don't think people can comprehend that.
I care about a political movement. Okay. I care about people not being reactionary weirdos.
That's it. Yeah. Also, Azmingold has always been bigger than me as a content creator in general
on Twitch. This is not new. The problem now is not only is he bigger, but he's also,
you know, pumping a lot of right-wing content. Part of why they denied is because they want to
have the shield if he's not a real political commentator, but he is. And that is the reality.
You don't have to be a real political commentator to do political commentary. As a matter of fact,
the most, that's my point, especially for the right-wing, you unironically get a benefit
when you're mostly talking about video game titties, okay? Because that's also politics
for a lot of the right-wing losers. But that's it. That's it. That is the thing. You can just
kind of put out right-wing vibes and go, yeah, that's based over and over again over Donald Trump
saying he's going to kill every Guatemalan transgender or whatever the fuck, right? And
then people go, he's not a political commentator, but he's doing common sense.
If I was Ben Shapiro, oh my God, I'd be so devastated.
Okay?
I would be so devastated.
Ben Shapiro worked so long and so hard to basically get to the point that he got to.
Okay?
He worked so long and so hard to be the top right-wing content creator.
Asman just reacts to political stuff and gives his opinions on things.
Okay.
Okay. As in golden, I spent the exact same amount of hours covering the exact same issues today,
nine hours. That's it. I'm both as a man and house, I have a family watching as my politics
basically coming with an empty bowl and leaving with an empty is zero knowledge about history,
geopolitics or anything is nothing to add to the subject just as personal, I think opinions.
Yeah, but it works. That's my point. That is an infinitely more successful way of doing
political commentary than actually doing boring nerd shit. That's it. As we go fans are saying
what John Stuart fans said 20 years ago. Oh my God, using the same, uh, using John Stuart
and as an goal as many goals as the generation's John Stuart. Yeah. Also, as an old gets more
viewers doing politics than he does playing video games. So, you know, him and I are in
the same boat, but you can be doing political commentary right now versus ranting about
as a gold. Ironically enough, this is political commentary saying that, say talking
the state of affairs in terms of right-wing political commentators and who the most successful
right-wing political commentator is, is political commentary. Quite literally. It's met a commentary
about political commentary. For me, for me, I think that this is more so just the state of
the fares. In general. This is just how it is. Can you pull up some anal preferably hardcore
so I can form some viewers again? No. Also why anal and why preferably hardcore? You didn't
just want me to pull up porn. Slotkin response? Oh, Hbizzles here. Are DSA operative? Or not
DSA sorry, DNC operative. Slotkin's results were of a substantial work which of the Cuck
Government is insane. Fuckin' moderate whites will always doom us all. On the other hand,
Bernie is old and AOC is, I don't know what, is it Milton enough for the base right
now. Yes. The real, the real meta is Al Green. What Al Green did, I think, as we really hates
being labeled the right wing, as a right wing commentator, because he loves presenting his
ideas as a, the normative perspective, which is ironically a very effective political strategy.
Yes. This is not my fucking first rodeo with right wing content creators claiming
that they're fucking centrist and it's simply common sense. Oh, low and behold, that's
That's what every right-wing commentator does.
That's why I keep repeating over and over again to these fucking idiots who refuse to understand.
Who do you think, what do you think Tim Pool is?
That's how Tim Pool started.
That's how Dave Rubin started.
It is the fucking blueprint of right-wing political commentators, so Joe Rogan started.
That's how it works.
No right-wing content creator will start out by being like, I'm a, I'm a right-wing.
If they do, they're just not going to be that good.
not going to be that successful. Right wing content creators like Jordan Peterson, like
Dave Rubin are unironically more effective when they say that they're not right wing.
Okay. Look at Jordan Peterson. The moment that they dropped that and openly and actively
say that they're right wing content creators and right wing commentators, they lose it.
They lose the, the, the interest of a lot of people because lo and behold, Americans
And just many people in general are really fucking stupid. Okay. They're dumb.
They want to hear someone go, this is just common sense.
That's part of the reason why a lot of people despise me as well,
because I actively say I'm biased. Okay. I have a worldview.
I have a well established worldview.
I think it is disingenuous to lie to you about maintaining a well established
worldview and then sheltering you from that and then claiming that I'm just
simply seeking out the objective truth and also stating that,
this is just common sense over and over again. It's a very effective way to do propaganda. That's
what they do. Okay, that's what a lot of right-wing content creators do. They do it very effectively.
It is what it is. Yeah, my brother's never right-wing and he was sucked into the right-wing
pipeline by people like Jordan Peterson and Tim Poole. That's precisely what is happening.
Asimid is the top of the funnel, okay? And
The the people that he watches and I'm the top of the funnel for leftists like that is the reality and
When you're at the top of the funnel, okay?
You reach a as broad of an audience as possible and then you funnel them into
People that are more interested in reading learning about different perspectives
The problem is when you're at the top of the fucking funnel for right-wing content
You're gonna be watching a lot of right-wing content creators like that fucking lolly guy that hasn't go watch all the time or Tyler
Olivera all these things and then you're effectively taking this massive audience of of people who are like
Well, this is a centrist guy with normal opinions
He's just speaking truth about how everybody feels and then you're funneling them into more and more right-wing
Reactionary bullshit. Do you think asman is aware of this? I don't think he gives a shit. I
Don't think he gives a shit
I think he just likes the attention that he gets. That's why he's doing it
That's why I keep repeating and I promise you I promise you if tomorrow Asmongole got a hundred thousand live viewers
Saying socialism is awesome. He would do it
And it's not like he is lying about it. I mean, it's not like he's hiding it. He is very honest about it
He says it all the time
He says it all the time
You are not on the edge of a funnel. It's the rim of a toilet. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's the
Lot of people feel this way in the United States of America, that's why we will never get fucking healthcare
Okay, because it dummies like you do you understand? Oh
the toilet
You're you got toilet opinions
I was worried about the response of this moment and things like as we go doing political contenders another side of dangerous
moment we're in and while in this dangerous moment, we don't have a functional opposition
party or even opposition movement left these even in retreat right now and a lot of infrastructure
and shambles. No, I agree. We're fucked. She just fucked. We'll, we'll figure it out.
But no matter what, you know what you can't change the fact that LeBron James tonight
past the 50,000 mark might go LeBron James. So that is what matters. I'm going to bed.
i'm so tired
all right uh another half day at 10 hours love you guys uh i will see you tomorrow okay
whoa
yeah in these dark times in these trying times remember that labron james
You and your communities political views are not the majorities non-logical watching the
copium of salaries though we need commentators like you to keep pushing them over this way.
Wait what? Why did you give me money to say that? I know that my position okay to the
average American is not immediately exciting or popular. That's not going to change my
perspective on the things that I believe in. It is my job to try and advocate to get you to
understand what I'm fighting for. Because at the end of the day what I'm fighting for is you, okay?
That's it. I want you to get healthcare. That's it. I want your tax dollars not to go to the
baby murder machine and instead to go to fixing the goddamn potholes. That's it. If you have a
a disagreement with that. I don't know what to tell you. You're like, no dog unlimited
funds to Israel, please unlimited funds to Israel, please. That was good bait. Yeah. This
is why the YouTube video was better. Yeah. Look at this. Look, look, look, look, look
at that. Look at my minuscule amount of views here. Okay. It's nothing. Look at as
gold's views and that's just one account. Then he also has Asmone TV and Asmone gold clips.
Look at fucking Ben Shapiro. Look at the daily wire. Asmone gold is the largest, by and large,
the largest right wing political content creator. Perhaps maybe the largest political
content creator in general. Okay. Why is this so hard for people to comprehend? I do not know.
No. Yeah. Now he doesn't like that. He has multiple channels on this list. Many, all
of them are larger. Asman TV and as well clips are still fucking larger than David Pakman
show, Sam Cedar, Tim Kaz news, Tim Kaz are all combined. Okay. I don't think you guys
understand as we go. Number one political shimmer, living rent free in whom a savvy mind.
This is not okay. I don't know how to describe it. But your good David is on the left here.
He's massive, but I also have an encounter asthma fan in the wild. Yeah. Okay. Well,
there's a reason for that. I think they're too busy playing fucking wav classic at home.
All right. Let's finish this. Love you guys and I'll see you tomorrow from the second
largest political content creator on the platform. PEACE!
