A lot of Americans are very ethnocentric in their news. And it's not by choice. It's just that that's the way our culture is. It is American news-driven. What affects Americans? What's going on in America? And so when foreign policy arises, like what's happening in Iran right now, the brave Iranian people standing up and protesting against a horrible, horrible, brutal regime,

I always look for what actors in American politics. stand up and what are they saying? Like, for example, I know that Lady Graham and Ted Cruz don't give a shit about human rights in the United States of America. So when I hear them talking about human rights for other nations, I know it's bullshit because I know that they won't stand up, even Lady Graham, won't stand up for his community. I know that. I know that Raphael will not, stand up for marginalized immigrants in the United States of America despite Raphael Cruz coming from a family of immigrants. So when they stand up for Iranians, I just think what are they up to?

Let's first hear from Lady Graham and I just want, I just, this is a very bizarre video. I don't know if the idea of bombing shit is like a drug him like cocaine or if he does cocaine, I don't know. But in this clip, he seems so defeated that the United States isn't going to bomb Iran. I don't know if he's taken a zanny or what's going on, but this is just weird to see Lady Graham like this. Play the clip. A lot of headlines out there that are, in my view, not accurate, President Trump's resolve is not the question. The question is when we do an operation like this, should it be bigger or smaller. I'm in the camp of bigger. Time will tell. I'm hopeful and optimistic that the

regime days are numbered. Well, Lady Graham, we know you're a size queen. We know you're in the camp of bigger. But the larger question for me right there is, is Lady Graham hammered? Is he shit-faced? Like, what is that? Lady Graham? Lady Graham cannot even stand up for the LGBT plus community in the United States of America. And he trots out there drunker than shit thinking we think he gives a shit about Iranian people. Are you serious? Well, then he puts out a tweet. So let's see.

He kind of reveals what this is all about. Lady Graham tweets yesterday after that drunken video. I am traveling to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netten. Yahoo and his team at this crucial time in history of the Middle East. The goal is to build on the historic opportunities created by President Trump's unprecedented leadership to stand up to evil. What are you talking about? Trump is evil and to support the people who are sacrificing for freedom. The Trump Netanyahu alliance has thus far been one of the strongest partnerships in the U.S. history, blah, blah, blah, blah. So now we know that Lady Graham,

This is all in Israel First type situation. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Lindsay Graham is a washed up, drunken size queen who will just suck up to whoever has the most damaging compromising shit of Lady Graham doing gay shit. Because it's clear that this man, and the fact that he's a United States senator blows my mind. Blows my mind even more is the most unliked. unfuckable person on the globe, Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz chimes in on this. And I always know when I

watch these people, like what they're standing for foreign policy-wise as an American. If sometimes we don't know about foreign policy, and it's like, what are these people up to? So here's Machuissimo, a man of the immigrants, Ted Cruz. Here's his alpha male video he makes about it. Play the clip. demonstrating incredible bravery standing against the Ayatollah and the mama standing for freedom. Thank you for your courage. You need to know America stands with you. America stands with your fight. And President Trump has your backs. You are in our prayers. We are standing with you. And these tyrants will fall due to your incredible bravery. God bless you.

Okay. First of all, the music. All of that, the production of all of that is so embarrassing. And I guess that hits hard in the low-tie crowd over in the MAGA-Brove sphere. But is he for real right now? Like, you can't even stand up for Cuban immigrants that are getting harassed by ICE. And you expect us to believe you give a shit about Iranian people. You don't give a shit about Iranian people. It's abundantly obvious to me.

and this is just my opinion, that BB wants Iran. And you guys are so beholden to Israel that you've cosplay, that you care about human rights. And you think, we think Trump gives a shit about human rights. The same guy who said on Howard Stern that has cut off age for having sex with a woman was 12. The same guy who is covering up for the pedophile ring, around Jeffrey Epstein, the same guy you wanted to shoot protesters and now has a goon squad that is shooting protesters? Are you for real right now? That's not how human rights work. You don't

get to cherry pick them when you care about them based on which war criminal you support at the time. People genuinely care about Iranians and their fight against this regime. But people with an IQ of 100 or more, know that you and Lady Graham and Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are not the saviors, and especially Benjamin Netanyahu, the genocider. They're the saviors of Iranians. Give me a break. Moving along, this is a big thing that's popping off all over right-winged Twitter. Put this up.

Representative Josh Gautenheimer tweets, Where is all of the outrage from, quote, progressives? The Iranian regime has killed thousands of protesters, tortured countless others, funded terrorists, and now the people are speaking out. But our college campuses and progressive groups are eerily silent in the face of this oppression. And I just want to note here, I noticed Jake Tapper retweeted this. It's very simple. America doesn't fund the Iranian regime. That's why they are not protesting it right now.

We are enemies with Iran. That's the layout of this. And let me just, somebody says it much more eloquently than me on Twitter. Pop this up, Kylie. Shadi Hamid says, the reason why campus activists aren't protesting about Iran is actually pretty, simple. The U.S. isn't allied with Iran. The U.S. isn't facilitating the mass slaughter of Iranians by funding and arming the Iranian regime to the tune of billions of dollars. To my knowledge, there's basically

no one in the mainstream media who is celebrating the killing of Iranian protesters. That's a good thing. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case with Gaza, where cheering Israel's war crimes was extremely common. Campus activists were calling on their universities to divest from companies that were complicit in Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank. To my knowledge, there is no American university that has financial holdings in companies that are complicit in the Iranian regimes killing of protesters. It makes sense that campus activists in America would be most concerned with American wrongdoing. That's what they might have some influence over. They have no influence on the Iranian regime, which will continue committing murder regardless

because it's a murderous regime. And he goes on and on. I'm far more concerned about Lady Graham, Raphael, and Canks playing patty cake with Saudi Arabia. Like, these are horrible regimes that we constantly align ourselves with. I stand with the Iraq. Iranian people. I stand with the immigrants being terrorized by ICE. I stand with trans people. I stand with Jewish people that are targeted by anti-Semitism. I stand with Muslim people who are targeted by attacks, Islamophobic attacks. Lady Graham, Donald Trump, and Raphael, these people are not

the saviors of humanity. They have a game, there's a play in this. There's a total play in this. And you know immediately, immediately what's going on when Lady Graham and Raphael start trotting out videos like that. Now I want to go to a headline where experts warn that we are in very dangerous times under Trump. Pop this up, Kylie. The New York Times is reporting. Experts, psychologists, and psychiatrists are telling us in no uncertain terms that were fucked. If only any Republican in D.C. were listening, and I would even argue, some corporate dims were listening, don't they realize that when American democracy falls to a madman, every single one of us will be in grave danger?

Then no, they don't realize that. They don't realize that there is a connectedness to all of this, that when you leave one group of people vulnerable, you leave all of us vulnerable. And if you notice how much MAGA is already moving the goalposts, right? They start with Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States. They start with just good old-fashioned American white on black racism. They expand it to immigrants. They expand it to trans people. They expand it now to the lesbian couple where the woman was executed.

And now Fox News is expanding it to wine moms, which are white liberal women. they will continue to keep moving the goalposts while pretending that they care about human rights in Iran while eroding human rights at home. And here's the thing with Iran and with Venezuela. Both of these countries have items that can be very lucrative to the United States in the case of Venezuela. The oil can be very lucrative. And so we're going to go. and kidnap the dictator, and he's a horrible dictator, right? But for these people to think that Donald Trump and Lady Graham are somehow your saviors and they care about human rights is bullshit.

And furthermore, Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been lying for over 30 years about Iranian Iran being a nuclear power, imagine if Israel had all of the territory of Iran. They would actually have natural resources. So I just don't trust any of this bullshit because none of these people link human rights. They cherry pick them. And that's always a red flag that you're dealing with a bad actor and a bald-faced liar. But as all of this stuff is going on, you know, Donald Trump's big mantra is has always been. People around the world when Biden was president are laughing at us.

Nobody's laughing at us anymore. We're the hottest country ever. We're so hot. everybody envies us, blah, blah. You've heard it a million times because he has about four, you know, he's like a four-trick pony, right? So here is the global support in the EU for the United States of America right now. Our node Bertrand tweets, that's an incredible number. Only 16, 16 percent of European Union citizens now consider the U.S. an ally. Even in the U.K., it's down to a meager 25%. In fact, perceptions of the U.S. as an ally are in complete collapse globally.

Only India is a very odd exception. So in 12 months, we have gone to this. 25% of people in the UK consider the U.S. an ally. So those 25% are fucking around. They're going to find out really soon. and 84% of people in the European Union have it correct. The United States is no longer an ally of the EU. And J.D. Vance is the heir apparent to this. And he and Elon Musk and others, these tech oligarchs, want to dismantle democracy. And the European Union shows that you can successfully regulate capitalism. And they can't have that because these oligarchs are never going to be happy.

And they have their little Trojan horse, you know, who is stealing people's Nobel Peace prices and redecorating the Oval Office and has dementia so bad that we have to write in gold letters, Rose Garden in front of the Rose Garden, Oval Office in front of the Oval Office. They know he's not a serious person. He's their useful idiot. And so this is a really dangerous time globally, really dangerous. and I stand in complete solidarity with the Iranian people. And I'm going to be honest with you.

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, I don't think they care about your sense of humanity because they don't give a shit about Palestinians and they don't give a shit about Americans. Renee Good is about as American as it gets. She was executed. So it's just bullshit that they act like they want a free Iran. It's clear to me that they have nefarious intentions for this, especially when you see the royal family guy, the son of the Shaw, on Fox News, kissing Trump's ass and trying to like demean Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

That's not a serious person. That's somebody who has the psychological profile on our senior citizen toddler president that knows, oh, you score a lot of points with him if you say Obama bad, Trump good. And all of this stuff is done in front of all of these people, all of these people in Europe, all of these Americans, and they all operate under the same assumption because a third of Americans are completely brainwashed by Fox News in this MAGA propaganda. And they forget that two thirds aren't and that two thirds critically think. And that two thirds of people in the United States of America can see when Lady Graham is drunker than a skunk. on television acting like he gives a fuck about human rights when he can't even stand up for his own goddamn community by coming out of the closet we know they're up to no good and raphael i mean give me a break with his machissimo video it is such bullshit but it hits hard in maga world and then i'm

going to leave you with this this is another like the whole world is laughing at us right now and not in a good way the canadian net favorable opinion France is at plus 50. The UK is at plus 50. Mexico plus 37, Ukraine, plus 35. India minus 34. China minus 49. USA minus 50.

Our strongest ally, our biggest partner, Canada, who we share a border with because we have these arrogant, low-te buffoons that talk about, we're going to make Canada the 51st, no wonder they hate us. American foreign policy is full of lies and arrogance. That's why I don't trust Lady Graham. I don't trust Canks. I don't trust Ted Cruz. I don't trust any of it. But I want to be crystal clear to the people of Canada, to the people of Iran, to the people of the European Union. A third of Americans are shitty. They are, and I can't defend them. A third of Americans are racist. They think America is the best. They think that we can go rape and pillage other countries with impunity. But there are two-thirds of Americans that

remain in this country that see exactly what you see and we're dying on the inside. Because we love our country. We love what our country means. I personally, in two-thirds of Americans, I love that somebody can come from another country that speaks a different language that has an idea for a business and can come to the United States of America, start a business, become a citizen, and become an American. And I personally feel a sense of country with them, even though they might have an accent, even though they might have a different skin color, that is something that a lot of us value and really embrace. And so remember when you see the arrogance of this man and the arrogance of our foreign policy and the lies and the collusion with war criminals like Benjamin Nanyahu.

30% of our public are total pieces of shit. They are hypocritical Christians that don't give a fuck about anything. Truly, I didn't even know if they care about themselves, but we are going to continue in a grassroots way to turn out in these midterms against all odds. And I believe this administration is going to try to scare the shit out of us and intimidate us in the polling booths, but we will turn out hand in hand, brother and sister, and vote so that this turnout is too big to rig because this is our moment. So many generations before us have faced similar uphill battles, and this is our battle.

Stay engaged in all pro-democracy media. Please support the people of Iran and their suffering and support the people. Palestinians and support all of these people in ICE custody that are getting tortured. And in the case of El Paso, somebody got killed and Renee Goods children and her family because this is not who we are.
