Hello everyone and welcome to this Signal Hour where we, I and Evie, we spend a lot of time digging through the noise to see if we can find the signal to make sense of this crazy world that we live in right now and it is crazy and getting crazier hi Evie how you feeling about things I'm feeling great good afternoon everyone thank you so much for joining

us on this hot and sultry Wednesday afternoon here wherever you're on the East Coast wherever you're dialing in from. Yeah, over here it is very warm. Very warm. Very warm. Hence the lighter attire today for me, going with that. Today we are gonna be talking about a lot of things. Obviously we gotta go through the Israel, Iran, and US bombing stuff very quickly, see where we are,

and how that all sorted out. New York City's getting Londonized, it's about to, we're gonna talk about that, and maybe, maybe we talk about Jacinda Arden's creepiness, which we were gonna talk about last time But didn't quite get to but this time we might or we might not and it might be a signal hour and a half You never know a priority. Okay. All right, so Let's start here Evie with this You know this consumed a lot of our week like it did for a lot of people trying to figure out what what the heck? Went on over there and I still don't know that I know but we're gonna go through some of the data and by the way yeah it's very hot up and

down the entire East Coast so thanks Michelle yeah it's hot there in Kentucky too. I'm sorry it's so sticky everybody it's it makes me appreciate the things that we have, like air conditioning. We have one in our bedroom, thank goodness. I envy people that have air conditioning throughout their entire houses, but that's okay. Imagine how our ancestors used to live, right? Well, exactly, exactly.

They had it rough. Exactly. Not as rough as the people up in Alaska, I guess. Listening from the Alaskan wilderness. Howdy, everybody. Blessings from... Wow, so many places. Yeah, we got the region, Prairie Region, a big old Texas. Yeah, Texas.

And, hey, it's nice in Los Angeles. That's why people live there. Yeah. That's why they live there. Anybody from outside the United States? I'm curious about that. Well, yeah, this person. Milford, Connecticut. That's like... Oh, boy. All right. So let's get back to this. Let's do this. All right. So we talked about this last time on June 12th. Isael, I still have the same spelling error in the title, Isael, attacked Iran totally without provocation. They say well you know they just like we had to for our because we had to you know exigent imminent

nuclear threat and it turned out the United States government knew nothing about it but then to know something about it and back and forth and next thing you know missiles are flying hither and yon and by the way Evie mm-hmm so here's what we learned we learned some things we've learned that Iran can build missiles that hit things from very far away But not just far away, but they hit them really fast I mean look at this so we know this is supersonic at least we don't know if it's hypersonic because See how it arrives soundlessly soundlessly you would think you would hear it like because you're used to hearing things that travel subsonic, right? So you hear like the plane coming or

something. But this is what it looks like when a 50 BMG round is inbound and headed towards it. You don't hear it. The sound comes after the fact. Yikes. Right. So that's why it's such a weird thing to see something that large traveling that covering that much distance traveling that fast with no sound until it hits, right? Right. So you're actually hearing the sound of the things that it actually destroys. Well, once it blows up, you hear that part. So anyway, that's what we learned. We learned that Israel was, its Iron Dome did not really perform as advertised.

It took out some of the slower stuff, but every one of these fast, fast ones I saw travel, they seem to make it through the defenses. And then along the way in response, the United States bombed the nuclear facilities in Iran. And so this is the only picture any of us have. There's some satellite photos, there's some holes in the ground, and everybody's sort of making claims based on all of that. Right? So what do we really know? What do we really know? Well, not a lot. Here's what we know, Evie.

We know that Donald Trump came out and declared mission accomplished. This just came out just this morning even. This is what he says. Oh, wow. Donald Trump said, Based on everything we have seen, and I've seen it all, our bombing campaign obliterated Iran's ability to create nuclear weapons. Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target and worked perfectly.

The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran. So anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the president and the successful mission. Hegseth told the outlet. Right. So, so what's happening here is there's a little bit of he said she said going on now here's the thing the United States is not nobody has offered us anything other than this satellite photo we don't have any other pictures we don't have any other reports we don't have any like they haven't even hinted

they're like well are you know we have some undercover agents there which I guess they would never say but they haven't said we have seen direct firsthand knowledge pictures of the obliterated stuff, because this is what we're looking at with these holes, this is the Forto site that is under variably 100 to 200 feet of rock, depending on who's telling us the story. And so that's a lot to go through. And maybe the Bumgur Buster bombs made it all the way down. Maybe they didn't we don't know We just don't know but so we have this story, right? Right and Then you know Trump brokered this peace deal the ceasefire not a peace deal

See peace peace deals actually have words and signatures He got a phone call and he said that they had gotten secured a ceasefire, but then this happened He said Israel do not drop those bombs. It's all caps. So, you know, he's serious you do it's a major violation Bring your pilots home now Donald J Trump president of the United States. So he's tweeting this out Yes as a message hoping it goes to the right person. So the ceasefire happened, right? He declared it it happened, but it was a weird ceasefire because they said, oh, well, you know, we have 12 hours

from this moment. So what happened was Israel was busy like dropping bombs right up to the 11th hour and 59th minute, like lots, like the biggest bombing they'd ever done. So why would you declare a ceasefire in the future? And then Israel lobbed some stuff back, but one of the missiles was just a little outside of the window, just a little tiny bit

outside of the window. So Israel said, oh we're sending some jets over, and that's when Donald J. Trump, instead of picking up the phone, tweets. This is how your president communicates to the world. He tweets, which is now statecraft involves sending out all caps, tweets. All right. This has never happened before in my lifetime. So he does that. And then and then this happens. This is what happened exactly next after that. Oh, BB, a few Trump explosions, more explosions ring out in Tehran despite Trump's order to Israel to stop strikes.

Dude, all mean tweet did not get the job done. They decided to continue bombing anyway, which was Bibi saying, oh no, we're out. Anyway, so things were getting a little dicey. Yeah, it's getting spicy here. But that's when, and I can't believe this isn't AI generated, but this is actually, this is real. This is a real clip here. And so this is Trump responding to everything we just talked about right there. Yeah, I do. They violated it, but Israel violated it, too. Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs,

the likes of which I'd never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning,

because the one rocket that didn't land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land. I'm not happy about that. You know what? We have, we basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Do you understand that? Whoa. So I'm taking it you hadn't heard that quote before. I have not. Yeah. It's like a reaction there. I saved this one for you. Thank you. Get an authentic reaction. I love when you bring things you know, we both know that. So, but that's pretty, pretty, I mean, listen, we're not used to hearing a president talk like that, but that's part of the Trump aura, right? He's very mad. He's just communicated that to Bibi Netanyahu, and he's really putting Israel on

notice here. And this is a first. I've never heard a president take Israel to task for anything, but it's now happened. So so this is all we don't know a lot about what's happened in this overall story. Right. So let me rewind. None of this would have happened. We didn't almost approach world war three. If Israel hadn't bombed Iran to begin with,

and they did it in a very targeted way. And we learned some things. One, they took out a lot of the senior leadership of the military. They took out a lot of scientists, right? It was very targeted. So obviously they penetrated Iran and Mossad and whatever the Palantir system is they use to identify who's where like that works really well. So everybody just learned that like every country that's not a moron just figured out. Right, was paying attention and went, oh. Second thing we learned, Trump was mid negotiation with Iran and one of the people that Israel

took out was the chief negotiator on the night before they were supposed to go. I heard that. To have more negotiations. So we also learned the rest of the world has learned, oh, these guys negotiate in bad faith. Like why would it, why would anybody come back to the negotiating table if it turns into a literal Game of Thrones red wedding? Exactly. Scenario.

Yeah, that's what you called it. I think that's accurate. Yeah. So, so we learned that. But then the next thing that we learned was that Iran was not nearly as toothless as maybe hoped. I think Israel finally went up against a, what we would say, a non-permissive foe, somebody who was capable of punching back. And boy, they did punch back. And I think that the direction things were going, Israel was only a number of weeks away from complete economic shutdown. A lot of damage was being done. And they were

going to lose a war of attrition because apparently- They were out of things to send over to Iran is what I had heard. Like if we hadn't stepped in in any way, they would have been all done. Well, I mean, they probably have a lot of bombs. I don't know they would run out of bombs, but they were running out of interceptors. So they had these Aero missiles and THAAD missiles that they could intercept. And so Iran of course played a very smart game of cat and mouse. They would send over all their older stuff of like regular missiles and they would shoot all their expensive stuff. And then you saw those fast ones come in on the back end of that whole thing. Now apparently,

I don't know if this is true. It's all everything's rumor in hearsay, but Iran could build 12 of those missiles a day. And if you just shot 12 a day, here's what happens. You shoot 12 a day, you pace them out. So all of Israel basically spends all day underground in air raid shelters, not doing economic things. And over time you wreck the country. You just cripple their economy. Yeah. Right. And as well, Iran never targeted, they only, 90% of Israel's water comes from four desalination plants. They didn't target those. Because that would have been a dick move. That would have been inhumane. Would have been a dick move. But so anyway, but so Israel sent over. This was the last one. This was they sent over their planes and they bombed one last thing. Turned out just they had to get the last word in fine. So I think that's the end of it. I hate those kind of people. Yeah.

I have to have the last word. But it seems over because both countries have opened up their civilian airspace. And I haven't heard of anything going off in the last 24 hours. So hopefully this is a done deal. But we're going to see now the question is, well, what was actually accomplished? What what happened here? What happened?

Well, see in according to CNN They said early US Intel suggests American strikes did not destroy Iran's nuclear sites and Likely only set the program back by months sources say now this is interesting because now sources say, so excuse me. Um, let's look at this. New York times also reported this and classified findings. So somebody leaked out classified findings, the Trump administration, not happy about this at all. Uh, and so indicate the attack may be sealed off the entrances, but

didn't collapse the underground building. So mission not accomplished. So New York Times, CNN running hard with this. Trump administration very unhappy with that. Very unhappy. We're gonna find out who leaked this, but these were presented as classified findings, okay? And then here we have this,

which is the special envoy, Steve Witkoff says it's all this junk here. So breaking Trump special envoy, Steve Witkoff says whoever is leaking the Trump arraigned strike Intel to CNN to fuel fake news reporting is committing treason. It's treasonous. It ought to be investigated. Whoever is responsible for it should be held accountable. Find them, fire them, and prosecute. There's no doubt it was obliterated," Whitcoff said. Yeah, so he's like, totally, definitely mission accomplished, but trust me, bro.

Well, he didn't provide any more data. Like, hey, here's some new photos. Here's some more intel. Here's how we know. It's just a declarative statement that says, hey, this stuff got totally, totally destroyed. And I have no more trust in anybody in the government, Trump, otherwise it doesn't matter to me. It's like, look, I'm turned into Mr. Missouri State. Show me. Show me.

They're not showing us. So we have to take him at their word. But now it's kind of a he said, she said, for my mind, you know, you have to present real evidence that it was actually mission accomplished. Now, here's the problem. It turned out that Iran shot a bunch of missiles at US bases in Qatar at the Doha military base, but they told us they were going to. So we moved all our, took all our planes away. No after action pictures have been released. So I have no idea. Did they make a hole in a runway? Did they actually hit something? Were they allowed to strike a Jeep

Wagoneer? We don't know. But they pre-telegraphed it. Now all this news comes out that we had pre-telegraphed to Iran that we were gonna strike their facilities. And of course we they knew that. So now did they move all their stuff out beforehand? Right. So we have to ask that question. All right. So carrying on. So this is a big thing. President Trump's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities were even more damaging than first thought that a the IAEA says. So that's the International Atomic Energy Agency, right? And those the IAEA says so that's the International Atomic Energy Agency right and those the IAEA they were so the guy who was one of the head IAEA

people had released a report a special report just before Israel struck that said oh no looks like Iran might be closer than we thought and then five days later retracted it because it was completely bogus now that person is a very Zionistic The IAEA chief who was overseeing that part from lives in Argentina Okay, and is very Israeli centric. So when BB said we'd like to have a report that would justify a strike So for whatever reason Israel thought now is a good time. Let's go strike Iran. This is our moment We got to go do this

We're gonna bomb a lot of people but I think what their whole strategy was they were gonna drag the United States and have us Finish the job. Yeah now everybody they super duper accomplished. They're saying Yeah, this has this has to have been the IAEA. So Here's think that IAEA person have they been to the site? Nope, why would they have better been to the site? Nope. Why would they have better intel than anybody else? Right. Where's their intel?

Again, it's a trust me bro. This guy comes out and says, oh no, everything got destroyed and everybody ran with that story. He presented no evidence. Now, if I'm that guy also, and I had just participated in mass murder because I put out a bogus report

that led to the deaths of a lot of people. Whole rest of your life, you're looking over both shoulders. Oh, absolutely. That's just that you play big boy ball game. You got to be ready for the big boy consequences. That's right. That's right. So it continues.

Narrative crumbles in real time from CNN that the strike basically failed. Quote, at Fordow, the mountain fortress just south of Tehran, officials identified additional strikes at the road leading up to the facility as well as one of the entrances. Meanwhile, at Natanz, the IAEA identified two impact holes from the US strikes above the underground halls that have been used for enrichment as well as for storage. So there's multiple sites. Fordow is the is the ultra deep facility under the mountains and then they have this Natanz site. Now this is bombing nuclear facilities which a lot of people would say okay that didn't used to be a thing you would specifically try and

avoid those and now they said well it's because it's Iranians, we don't really care. Because we gave them 60 days, so day 61, we're just gonna blow up their nuclear facility. So can we be clear, a Rubicon has been crossed. We've just said to the whole world, that's okay. This is a legit target, just like say an undersea gas pipeline.

Fair target now because somebody's already done it. They're moving these goal posts faster and faster into what's acceptable. Right. And just so we're clear, when you say nuclear sites or whatnot, you're not, it's not necessarily saying that that's where bombs were. No, no, there's no, there's no evidence, zero evidence that any bombs have been pursued or made at this point in time. Right. These are places where they're creating power for their citizens, presumably, right?

Well, they say that that has legitimate medical and also they want to generate electricity. That's what they say. There are civilian uses, but obviously it's a fuzzy line and it crosses over into military very quickly. There could have been. I could easily make a case, Evie, for why a country would be motivated to make a nuclear bomb. Because if you're Pakistan, that place is Islamic crazy.

Do we ever say anything to, we're like, no, we treat them with deference. Why? Because they're loaded to the gills with nuclear bombs. North Korea, legit certified nuts. Do we ever do anything more than shake a stern finger at them? No, you know why? No.

Because they have a nuclear bomb, message received right you want your country to be violated and it's sovereign integrity shredded. You want to be bombed Don't have a bomb right? It's true We don't try to regime change those other places now the worst part of this is that is that? Iran to went through the front door. It was a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty. They had the JPO COA inspectors in there. They had the IAEA inspectors in there. They were filling out all the paperwork. They went through all of that and then they got totally shafted by the IAEA. Again, that guy's going to have to look over his shoulder the whole rest of his life, however long that is. And so what was the lesson? That's easy. Don't go through

the front door. Do it just like Pakistan did. Do it underground. Don't tell anybody. Yeah, we're making everybody out of your country kind of diplomacy impossible. Aren't we? Don't we ruined it? Yeah. I mean, it's almost like we said specifically, get a bomb and do it secretly. Right. Right. So, so honestly, I don't know why people can't think things through one or two steps, right? You know, we saw this devolve EV in this country where people said, well, you know, what were we going to do? We tried diplomacy. Like, no, people have been talking to Iran about their nuclear program for 30 years. Okay. You can always have more conversations. And what we're really saying is the kind of diplomacy that Trump brought, which was you have to give us everything we want right now or else.

Or else. Right. Right, that's mob style. That's not a negotiation. Right, it's not the horse trading that normally happens. Iran has needs and wants, we have needs and wants, you try and line them all up. Israel has needs and wants, you put them all on the table,

you see if you can fashion something everybody can agree to, that's negotiating. Yeah, I think you're right, we didn't really negotiate. Um, remember it was just two days into the whole thing, right? After Israel had bombed them and, and I know we had just bombed Iran too. And Trump put out a tweet that said, you know, unconditional surrender again, all caps, like unconditional surrenders, what you do after you nuke somebody like in 1945.

Unconditional surrender is you have no conditions, right? Right. That's like that. You do that at the tail end after you've totally ruined somebody and- That's kind of disrespectful. Well, it is. It's not diplomacy, though. Can we just admit that? It's really more my way or the highway kind of stuff. All right. or the highway kind of stuff. All right. But, um, hmm. Okay. So. Well, this is awkward. Carrying on. US doesn't know where Iran's uranium is. A day after Trump claimed US bunker busters wiped out Iran's nuclear program, senior officials admit that they don't know

what happened to Iran's near bomb grade uranium stockpile. Iran reportedly moved 400 kilograms of it before the strikes enough to build nine or 10 nuclear weapons. Near bomb grade. This is 60%. You need like 90 plus percent. But anyway, this is 60%. So it's not, it's not, that's why it says near bomb grade, near emphasis on near. But it's not there yet It had a lot more enrichment to go but but just to put this in context 400 kilograms is quite a lot of 60% uranium. Is that a lot if it was uranium metal? It would be a cube about this big. Oh, wow. So could they have transported that?

Could they have well if you look here see that picture probably? That's the days before the Ford out complex was was bombed. They knew it was coming They lined up all their trucks and they took everything away Oh, look at that. They took it all away and then we bombed it So we told them we were gonna mom so this all starting to feel like kabuki theater Yeah, it has been kabuki theater for a long time though. We know that I mean what actually happened here What was this actually about? I don't know in our country It's been kabuki theater for a long time. Doesn't it make sense that on the world stage it is too. I mean

Yeah, people pretend to have these alliances. They pretend to be angry at each other, you know to be enemies quote unquote But I think behind the scenes they all hang out at the same Golf club But again Iran reportedly moved we have data. Anybody who's telling you exactly what happened, this is what happened. They were destroyed. They weren't destroyed. This happened, that happened. Nobody knows. At least I scoured every corner of the internet. I've read every article and it's all hearsay and unnamed officials and reported leads and all that stuff.

It says inspectors are locked out. So we're not gonna have people going in there in any official capacity yeah give us that information yeah looks like yep well no no I totally agree so um I mean you know you got here it's theater says bro Joe's symbolic mm-hmm would explain the Kabuki theater of it all yep. Yeah, yeah 100% um so something's going something's going on here. We're in the cheap seats We don't know what it is, but there's a game being played out And so I would just like to point out to everyone that it obviously One of these countries really cannot be trusted

with nuclear weapons. Because, you know, obviously you wouldn't want a country like Iran, who has, let's see, since World War two, what's that? Oh, zero. They have attacked or attempted to overthrow zero other countries since World War two. You could say, oh, heck Chris, that's naive. They're mucking around in Syria with Hezbollah. And, you know, they they did have to fight Iraq after they were attacked by Iraq under our bidding, et cetera.

But basically, they mostly stuck to themselves. And that's what we know in terms of going cross-border and invading anybody. But the United States, we've been kind of busy. That's awful. That's so embarrassing. We've been a little busy. By the way, think of the decorum required

to really navigate the international landscape Imagine all this dust-up just happened Evie. We have Israel's all stirred up and the United States is all stirred up and Iran's all stirred up and it finally settles down So, you know what's coming next right? That is the perfect time for Donald Trump to tweet this video out Just either last night or early this I think it was last night. Okay You're gonna love this video My country's got a feeling, really, it's the ceiling by my rim. Bom-bom, bom-bom, my rim. Went to a mosque, gonna throw some rocks. Tell the ayatollah, gonna put you in a box by my rim.

Bom-bom, bom-bom, my rim. Bom-bom, bom-bom, my rim. My country's got a feeling, really, it's the ceiling by my rim. Bom-bom, bom, bomb, bomb my rim. Old Uncle Sam's getting pretty hot. Time to turn my rim. And kill the hornet's back on my wrist. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb my rim. They have the cross section of like a hummingbird or something, radar, like they're almost impossible to see. Really?

Yeah. So we just flew them straight into their country drop some bombs off but the idea that the president of the United States is tweeting out a Teasing mocking video when every when the dust is just settled. I'm like I'm no senior diplomat, but I don't know I Can't believe this is actually happening. This is the timeline you were on. Okay. Are you sure pinch me? Am I awake? This is the timeline that you are on Okay. Wow. Now guess what it turns out that Japan in South Korea Weren't happy at all with this idea that that line we talked about the line of bombing nuclear facilities

Was a good one. Obviously Japan you can understand why they might be more sensitive about that, right? So maybe there's a mocking video that mocks their, Japan's sensitivity over Hiroshima or something. I don't know, but so Prime Minister of Japan ditched the NATO leader summit, which is just happening right now, even as this is happening.

Same thing for South Korea. They both said, no, no, we're out. They ditched and off they. Yeah, they they just said no. Wow. How about that? They're like, screw your NATO. Well, so Asia. So think of all that we've sacrificed so far in this little dust up that just happened.

Right. On the plus side, we I think we found out just how deeply compromised our U.S. government is in entanglements with dual citizenship. Israeli, such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such-such Asia right this is what's called this is losing Asia right here China's not happy China was very stern about this was Russia's very stern about this and Russia actually I don't know if you know this but Russia came out recently and said you know for an ends up with nuclear weapons so be it right maybe they'll get them somehow maybe they'll give them to them we don't know right but this is not setting up like it's being presented here in the US as if this was some gigantic re bombed. We went in our military is amazing. It can't be touched. But we basically flew into a country with no air defenses and dropped

some bombs, which is not quite the dunk you think it is. Militarily speaking, as a bully, bullying behavior. I mean, and when who who had they attacked recently? What had they done? That was so terrible that it merited that I'm not aware of what what has happened before I'm sure there were little skirmishes and things like that. But like Seriously, yeah, who cares if they have nuclear weapons we do I mean Well, it's just so stupid. We have this double standard approach to everything. I know I know. I don't know I don't know how to make sense of it. Well, I I think this is this is this is correct here, which is this one here Didn't you create? Oh, yep. Oh try bombing a nuclear power plant. This is the one. Yes, but yes also Ukraine

Yes, they did actually how is this master negotiating? We just lost all credibility agreed I think so. I mean nobody's gonna trust us anymore and remember Russia already called us years ago non agreement capable Yeah, I said look we can make agreements with you, but you just tear them up Another president comes along you decide not to follow them doesn't matter so you can spend all this time negotiating stuff But you're not agreement capable and that extends now to all of Europe, right? Because of the Minsk two accords and all that, which even Angela Merkel came out later and said, Oh, those were just a way of buying time. So we could arm Ukraine. So they could really

F up Russia when the time came, right? Which was supposed to be a peace deal, but it was just giving them time to rearm. So I'm a little concerned that where we are right now in this story is that we are just, this is now this so-called ceasefire. Both sides are just rearming right now. Iran's busy building stuff. They're probably going to get on the bat phone with say Russia and order up some S 300, 400, you know, anti aircraft missile systems and et cetera. So,

I feel totally lost in all of this because I'm actually sympathetic to Iran. I don't know why I am. I know that they have Islamist crazy people there and all that, but I just feel like this narrative is getting shoved down my throat and I think that's probably what I'm really reacting to. This is like every place I've ever been, right?

Every single place, which is I like the people. reacting to but this is like every every every place I've ever been right every single place which is I like the people Iranian people are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet right versions they really are their radical Islamist government might be just complete pieces of shit jerks just like ours just like ours right yeah I think they're strong case to be made for that right but so is ours I showed you the qualitative list so is Israel's and but what I don't like is that the people of Israel often conflate it and say you no no no no you can't be against my government without being anti-semitic and I like reject that because I'm like

well then that's an impossible standard yeah because all governments are shit they are kind of innately corrupt innately corrupt it just happened so to say you have to either be a hundred% this is the whole remember I'm old enough to remember George Bush we had this whole dialectic which was you're either for us or against us. You're either you're either for Iran or you're anti-Semitic or whatever. You know, I know you're not supporting our troops and unless you support this war. We either bombed them or we didn't bomb them. And I'm here like thinking no I could think of 30 other ways that we could have tried to do things. So anyway, just.

So crazy town. Maybe it's too close for comfort because that's the Isfahan facility up there after we got done bombing it. It's a nuclear facility. That's Fukushima down below. Well they kind of look the same. Yeah they do. Right? They kind of look the same. Yeah, they do. Right? They kind of look the same. That's dangerous though. I mean, the general public, I don't know how far away this is from, you know, civilian populations, but isn't this a potential nightmare that goes on for years and years? I mean, that's not a joke bombing a nuclear facility. No, it is definitely not.

It's dangerous. All right, so when we come back from this quick break, we're gonna talk about toxic Twitter real quick because you and I have been discussing this all week.

So with that, let's turn now to what we would call toxic Twitter. Evie, you and I, I mean, we've been. Oh, I've known this forever. You're just figuring it out. I'm just figuring it out. But I want to, I think it's like this now only with automated AI bots.

I don't know if you've seen this before, Evie, if you haven't, you're in for a treat. This is the comedian you'll recognize but this this to me I think is how social media is right now that there are people like this out there one of the best ways to Drain people's energy nowadays is via the internet. This woman is a Astrophysicist actually, this is not how space works astrophysicist. Actually, this is not how space works. Read a book. Now I just wait for the comments to come in. Hey, can you mansplain any louder? Yeah, sure. These are all different accounts that I have set up. The energy you get this way isn't quite as pure but if you do enough of it it'll fill you up. Shanghai sucked.

Where is the Chinatown? Jason Mraz is just too weird for me. Jesus actually hates horses. Childhood obesity? LMFO. When they call you a dumbass, you know you've got them. They called me a dumbass. Women are getting too tall. You can drain their energy via social media without having to even be near them. That is racist. You're correct. It is. Oh yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, they hate me. It's surprisingly simple to get total strangers completely furious with you. They should get a life. So, so I raised that because it's a humorous way to deal with it. But this past week, because because it involved Israel, which is always a great time, you just get this wall of bots and also what they call the hasbara, you have that You have the faithful who come out, defend

anything Israel does no matter what it is, and they go through some contortions to try and do that. Right, right. Logic contortions. But as well, it's way beyond that now. So the military industrial complex, you will not get as attacked in America for anything except for being for peace. So we talk about that. Twitter became very talk Twitter became very X became very toxic because we're all these bots out there probably run by CIA NSA, you know, right on the military, whatever, because they just they they you will like you could say almost anything and

skate by compared to if you say, wait a minute, I don't agree with this bombing campaign. Right. Like, there's no room for questions or uncertainty or different opinions. Yep. Yeah, they jump all over you. They do. And they and they seem to manufacture, like, or be very good at presenting the next most urgent thing.

So that like, oh, it's an emergency. Yeah, yesterday's news is no longer discussed you know it moves on so quickly that for somebody actually trying to emotionally process there's no space for that no space you know space so that's messed up yeah oh which makes it tricky so now we're gonna move on and this is very instructive this is a fractal instruction right here for me we're gonna talk about New York City's Democrat mayor and I got you know little quotes around there because He's not Democrat. But so Evie here's where we are

the democratic primary just came out and so Ron mum Donnie won and Cuomo concedes to mandami. He won. He deserves it. Wow. So is this still, are we still talking about Twitter? No. I moved on. You moved on? No time to process that. Oh, okay. So you found this on Twitter though.

Sure. Okay. Just checking. So independent probe finds Cuomo Covid response engendered public mistrust. Public mistrust. So can we be clear about this? By engendered public mistrust, what they're trying to delicately say is Cuomo's policies murdered tens of thousands of elderly people in old folks or long-term care homes and that tends to engender mistrust when you kill granny and grandpa it's just somehow that creates a level of mistrust so so I mean the death it's so it's really great it's really bad more than 15,000 residents in New York nursing homes died of COVID-19. Andrew Cuomo made 5.1 million off of their deaths. Some would call him a hit man. And these were grandmothers

and grandfathers that you know, probably some of you, or like your grandmothers and grandfathers that just want to be near their family that weren't allowed to say goodbye, that died alone, terrified and scared. Yep. Right? From a disease that didn't necessarily have to be fatal. Well if New York's going to be smart at all, they will get to have a Republican to be mayor again. Good time for a Republican to be mayor again in New York City.

That would be awesome. Yep. That would be great. Yeah. I mean, he was. I mean, there's no other way to put it. Grandma killer. Yeah. Cuomo was that. And the 5.1 million being referenced here is he got a book deal out of this. Okay. Okay. Which by the way, he had his staffers,

right? Not even him. It's an autobiography that other people were writing. He's probably yelling at them the whole time. Not a good guy. And so I have to ask that question. You know, really? How was it that Cuomo was the best the party democratic machinery could tap? Really? You had to go with a grandma killer? That was your best option.

Like we searched far and wide, New York City's mayor is a really big important spot. So let's use- Couldn't there be other candidates? Yeah, didn't Kamala want the job? I mean, no, it's just like the democratic Party's just imploding at this point in time. But they're also revealing themselves. I think I think this is revealing like literally.

Yes, they looked around in the Democratic Party, whatever machinery is taken, whatever soul spirit sucking thing is taken over the machinery of that organization said, you know what? We actually like Como. He's our kind of guy because he killed 15,000 elderly people. Right they probably like him because he'll carry out whatever the next operation is without any questions. You can trust this guy now when I say he did that what happened was they would take people who had COVID legit in a hospital setting and then they moved them into

old folks homes right where you have and then the moved them into old folks' homes. Right? Where you have, and then the old folks got substandard care because of course, you know, we couldn't allow anything like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine or even just something is like, why would you take people with a known respiratory pathogen and put them into an old folks' home? You'd want to do the opposite of that. But they did that, right? And how that was allowed to persist in all of that, it's crazy. But I'm going to build the case for that. But they did that. Right. And and how that was allowed to persist

in all of that. It's crazy. But I'm going to build the case for that in just a second. You're going to see it's just it's worse than advertised. Now, this is this is Momdani himself. He's actually strikes me as a fairly smart guy who's a good public speaker. Okay. But then there's the words he says, We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford. A city where they can do more than just struggle. And it's where the mayor will use their power to reject Donald Trump's fascism, to stop mass ICE agents from deporting our neighbors, and to govern our city as a model for the Democratic Party.

Okay. All right. So, Donnie, is that how you say his name? I'm Donnie. So, you heard a few things in there, right? We're gonna recreate utopia here. You know this language, right? We're just gonna tweak a few things and we're gonna have an affordable, livable city again, right? So. Now we're down to the details. That those are good words. How are you going to do that? How are they going to do that? Oh, they're going to do it like this.

Taxation isn't theft. When Como refuses to tax the rich, he's refusing to let workers enjoy the wealth they created when Donnie is saying when he low, when he says low taxes foster a business friendly environment He means an environment where it's easy for bosses to steal from workers Taxation is in theft capitalism is So I mean this is this is classic Marxist socialist

It's the two main emotions that he's gonna be channeling our resentment and envy Right and the number one thing that socialists understand, like they understand breathing, is that you have something that they need. So look what he says here. He's refusing, quote, Governor Cuomo, because this is an older tweet, but this is back when Governor Cuomo was governor, right? Now it's Kathy Holkle, who's just as bad, just demonic. But he says, when Cu Como refuses to tax the rich,

he's refusing to let the workers enjoy the wealth they created. Right? So think about that for a second. So that means, Evie, that you decide to go through all of the hoopla of jumping through all of the permits and the red tape and the inspections and everything to set up, say, a restaurant in New York City. You're going to put capital at risk. You're going to have to hire, you're going to have to go to the debt. I'm going to work like a dog. You're going to work like a dog and you're going to hire people. And he's saying you're

stealing from them because you created this restaurant that they work in. Right. Which is an asset to me and not to them basically. And that's unfair. Yeah. They created the wealth. you didn't do it, right? It's just like to a socialist, the restaurant, the chefs, the schedule, the load balancing, the ordering, the inventory, the wages, the legal fees, the business incorporation fees, the insurance, all of that just magically happens.

Yeah, they believe I should be responsible for that. It just all shows up magically. And then the workers actually create the wealth. This is, this is, nobody believes that. The expenses belong to me and the profit belongs to them. Oh well yes, because they did all the work, right? Because nobody's as stupid, right? But this is, this is the politics of resentment. You have a lot of people out there who also don't understand how it is they even have a job or what out there who also don't understand how it is. They even have a job or what's required to create a job. They would never have the fortitude or the stamina or the risk tolerance to

create jobs. Most of them. Right. So they're lucky in my world that they have a job that they can go to because somebody else is carrying all of that other stuff. Right. This would be like walking into a household and saying, well, you know, the kids are the reason this whole household exists and the parents are just evil people for doling out only $2 a week in allowance. You know, don't they realize the kids are the only reason this household on and on. It's just stupid. Yeah. It's just anyway crappy logic, but wait, it gets worse. Um, Okay, we don't need an investigation to know that the NYPD is racist, anti-queer, and a

major threat to public safety. What? He's talking about defunding the police? He's bringing that out again? Yeah. Yeah. What? Time to defund the NYPD.

This is your potential next mayor in New York City. What could go wrong? What could go wrong? And not needing an investigation is scary. That's a scary thing to go down. No, we want to defund the police, he says, in regards to or in response to Como saying when people are saying defund the police, they are saying they want to see the real fundamental change. He says the state is passing an important package of reforms and local mayors or

police departments must also hear the people And they change right? He's saying no. No, we want to defund the police. It's like no, no, that's no you had it, right? Wow, how about this then great? more taxes and masks Want to quote or hashtag tax the rich to fund a real recovery? Want to quote or hashtag tax the rich to fund a real recovery? Want to masks to support the hashtag public power and the need for democratically controlled utilities? For a limited time only you can do both.

I guess if you sign up for this thing, sign up to be a field lead and get one of these bad boys for free. So he's giving out free masks, I guess. We like masks, but listen to that want to tax the rich to fund a real recovery. So this is the, this is the concept is that the way you get a real recovery is by taxing the rich. Now New York city already has some of the highest taxes in the world. Yeah, it does. It's hugely expensive. Right? I mean, they have, you have the real estate taxes in there are extraordinary. They're awful.

They have income taxes there that are extraordinary. Are they? Oh yeah. Like, the state is already bad, but New York has a surcharge on top of that. Oh my gosh. And it's pretty strong. And the whole idea is that the way you get to recovery though, do you want a real recovery? Just tax the rich. Now, what they never do in these things is they never actually

you, Mom, Donnie would never do this to say, here's how many rich people we have. Here's how much they earn. Here's how much they're taxing. Currently, here's how much we're going to increase it by. That's a number. Now, when I take this number and I apportion it thus and so. Utopia, right, they won't actually take you through the math because it's about the emotion of saying greed and resentment right rich people this is

unfair it's unfair because that's what Marxism and socialism is so it's just astonishing that we're getting to this here in the US but yeah here he is in 21 saying some things he says walking while trans has criminalized black and brown transgender women for too long, all for the crime of existence. This is a historic win in our continual fight to dismantle the police state, legalize sex work, and create a state where everyone has the right to walk on our streets. You can read more about Candy's story in the fight for trans rights and decriminalizing sex work here. And I, is it a transgender sex worker? What's happening? I don't, I don't know. I don't understand. Walking while trans is criminalized black and brown transgender women. I don't even know what

that's referring to. Okay. So like in New York City, people walk around looking all kinds of ways and nobody says nothing about it. No, and nobody even blinks twice. Nope. Because it's that kind of a city. But good grief. So he wants to legalize sex work. Yeah, dismantle the police at the same time. Yep, dismantle the police, prostitution, somehow this is good for society. Okay, so carrying on I'll take this one. All right. Look Robbie Starbucks says says this very well as a public service announcement PSA to New Yorkers ready to flee to Florida, Texas, Tennessee now that it looks like socialist Zoran Mamdami will be in your city's next mayor People expect you to be pleasant and friendly Don't ever vote for a Democrat here assimilate to our way of life

What he's saying is the same thing I've heard from my friends in New Hampshire, where people in Massachusetts have created a literal hellhole for themselves. Tie taxes, low services, grubby, you know, conditions, unsafe streets. And then they say, wow, I don't like living here. And they leave. And they bring that same ethos to the next place they go to. This has happened in plate, like Austin, Texas. So this thing happens where the progressives, the Democrats, try and create utopia where they live by removing shoplifting limits and handing out free needles and doing all these things. And ultimately it creates a very unsafe, terrible environment.

Nobody wants to live there and then they leave and then they do it again. So they, it's like a spreading cancer is what he's saying here kind of is isn't it? Yeah, it seems like that So don't don't do that. Don't do that. Okay do that. He also wants No cost child care After rent the biggest cost for New York's working families is child care It's literally driving them out of the city New Yorkers with children under six are leaving at double the rate of all others. The burden falls heaviest on mothers who are giving up paying jobs to do unpaid child care. Zoran will implement free child care for every New Yorker aged six weeks to five

years, ensuring high quality programming for all families. And he will bring up wages for child care workers, a quarter of whom currently live in poverty to be at parity with public school teachers it will foster early childhood development save parents money and keep our families in the city they call home yeah well they forgot to answer that one question which is gonna pay for that here who is gonna pay for that right again these plans they have these plans and for that? Right, again these plans, they have these plans and they never articulate the plans. They never spell out how this plan works. Free child care! Right, it's fantasy. It really is. I'm not saying it's right that you know

child care is so expensive and all of this but the idea is that oh we'll make this free for people but somebody has to pay for that. Okay. Somebody's gotta foot the bill. Who's gonna pay for this? we can't afford to wait for the private sector to solve this crisis the housing crisis right Zoran will triple the city's production of publicly subsidized permanently affordable union-built rent stabilized home okay hold on so publicly subsidized was taxpayer funded who's gonna pay for that? Taxpayer funded. Who's gonna pay for that? Okay.

Right? So rent stabilized is a term. That's one thing, right? Rent stabilized means they try and control the price at which it goes up. Right, right. It's still not a great deal for landlords and people who have to keep up with escalating costs

of things like insurance and property taxes. But here's what he's actually talking about. So you'll love this, Evie. I know you're gonna love this because this is a glitzy campaign ad. I'm assemblyman Zahran Maldani and I'm running for mayor to freeze the rent for every rent stabilized tenant.

Wait, you're gonna freeze my rent? Yes. Did I hear rent freeze? Yes, this guy's gonna freeze the rent? Yes. Did I hear rent freeze? Yes, this guy's gonna freeze the rent. No, Pike? None. This guy's gonna freeze the rent. It's true.

As your next mayor, I will freeze your rent. Pay for by zone on for NYC. Wow. They're gonna freeze the rent. How is that gonna work for landlords? Are they going to freeze the property taxes? Yeah, because that's going to suck for people that own buildings. No, so this is such a dangerous idea right here. The idea is that I, as a public official, am going to take your private business, right?

Which if you're a landlord, it's a business, right? I'm going to take your private business and I'm gonna cap your revenues, but I'm gonna leave the expense line, that's up to you. And by the way, I'm in charge of part of your expense line and I'm gonna drive that through the roof. It's a recipe for disaster, 100%. 100%. Yeah, what could go wrong?

But can we just be totally honest about this? Here's what he's actually saying. He wants to support legislation ending cash bails. Oh, decarceral legislation. End cash bail, repeal the walking well trans ban. I don't know what that means. Decriminalize sex work, legalize marijuana, permit safe injection sites, restrict solitary confinement, enact elder parole, re-enfranchise incarcerated New Yorkers, and we will also decriminalize simple drug possession, repeal all mandatory

minimum sentences, reduce maximum sentences with retroactive effect, repeal felony bump up status, repeal sentencing and excuse me, statutes, repeal sentencing enhancements and end cooperation with ICE. Yep. Wow. Last but not least, last but that was in 2020, by the way. So this is like you can just you get the flavor with this guy, right? You can get the flavor of him. Okay.

So so so just to just to review, this is Zoram Namdani's New York City. It's going to have rent controls, including rent freezes. He's promoting also the idea of government-run stores. We didn't cover that, but he said the same thing. He thinks the government should run stores, because you know what? All these stores are like fleeing because of these disastrous progressive policies. Walgreens is leaving. You know what we'll do?

We'll have government-run stores, so then the government can deal with the shoplifting. $30 minimum wage, free child care, more prostitution. What could go wrong? Actually what could go right? Nobody knows. Okay. Nobody knows. All right, Evie. So here's what we have to do. You know what? The good news is that this has all been tried before. So we have some models we can look at. Right. And so New York City is going to if they finally elect this guy, they're going to end up looking either like London or South Africa. So oh, good luck. Or San Francisco. Or San Francisco. I could have picked a dozen things. I picked two. We're going to look at a couple comparisons

here. But look at this. In the words of Nelson Mandela, it always seems impossible until it's done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I'm honored to be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City. All right. Ten hours ago. Yeah. Yeah. This is just today. So, um, Nelson Mandela. So he's harkening a great leader, Nelson Mandela. So he's like, Oh yeah, I'm like that. At least he didn't. Well, anyway, I could make other comparisons. But so, okay. South Africa then. All right. Let's look at South Africa real quick.

Okay. It's not even keeping up with Botswana on the GDP per capita chart. I think you can see here. It's kind of dead flat to trending downwards. It's just been it's just been going nowhere. Yeah, nowhere. And by the way, inflation has been going up too. So this that's right.

A flat line on this chart is miserable. It's misery. It's misery. And by the way, South Africa is basically a crime scene right now. Right. Well, there's been so much else going on there, right? With them killing farmers and all that other stuff. South Africa has a youth unemployment rate of 58% that's close to 60% of the youth population unemployed. New York has that to look forward to. NGOs who run the country are in courts trying to enforce more immigrant rights and employment. Let's end ICE right away. Yep. And South Africans must be complacent. People then wonder why there's a crime problem in South Africa. And then shocking

first quarter crime stats were released on Friday. South Africa is more dangerous than a war zone. In just 90 days, 1,574 people were killed in the Ukraine war. In South Africa, 6,228 people were murdered just in the last 90 days. 90 days. Not a huge country either, by the way. No. All right. So it's a crime zone. So that's where we're headed. By the way, I thought this kind of brought it home. This is a very typical mugging in South Africa. over here is getting mugged. Are people just what? Yeah, just... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...... free black gentleman that's a white guy he's just been mugged and that's it

that's what it looks like when you're when you're in a basic failed state at that point you just walk around him and over him like nothing happened nothing happened Wow because it happens every day all day I mean six thousand murders in 90 days mugging and it's that resentment and envy that's driving that oh yeah he does that like that white guy exactly he deserved it he deserved it he probably could afford to lose whatever he just lost there but this is what it looks like in London just bought a 10 pound table five pound chair and just sat any corner

You guys know how long green street is it's not and it's like this pack. It's like everyone's got business Yeah, so anyway it just carries on and on. But, but is that how it used to be there? I, I, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. Whites are minorities in most UK cities now, minorities. And so this has been an active program to bring in as many as, uh, you know, immigrants as possible replacement The great replacement theory. And again, to differentiate, remember a migrant is not an immigrant. An immigrant comes in through a process through the front door, they're collected carefully,

they go through a fairly rigorous vetting process. A migrant comes over in a boat, ducks under some razor wire, gets here illegally, something like that. But they always try and confuse them. And this guy, Mamdani's no different. He's like, well, you know, we have to protect our immigrants. Like not we're not talking immigrants, dude. Okay. So that's London, right. But check this out. So this just this just happened today, last night. Okay. And you can read that up top there. This is an uprising waiting to happen. Illegal immigrants who were staying at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City are now homeless. Pray for Manhattan and count your blessings that you and your family don't live there. I'm saddened to see the city I once lived in and loved to become this.

So this is what the former mayor Eric Adams, our current soon to be former, has been saying. This is where the Democratic Party landed on him like a ton of of bricks because he's like what do we do with all these people? The Roosevelt Hotel very famously had... Yeah, it's a historical, beautiful old place. Yeah, but I was gonna say most famously now it's the place that's been completely taken over by migrants because the government's paying whatever, $10 million a day or whatever it costs to rent every room out. I don't know what it's some obscene number. They're living in luxury.

But they just kicked them all out. So I guess they're all done with that. So I'm going to ask the question summer heat, right? Think of yourself, Evie. And like most riots happen in August because it's like people are all cranky. I get heat cranky, you get heat cranky, humans get heat cranky. It's true. So all these humans just got kicked out. Look at this. This is what it looked like last night. Oh my god. People are just laying out on the street. Like, like this is this is progressive values. Like this is

good for these people somehow. Yeah. Like somehow you have to spin this and say yeah. This makes me feel good about this. You're tired for this yearning to be but look at this. What a disaster. higher for the yearning to be, but look at this. What is that? It's just, it is exactly like San Francisco already. Yep. Strange fluids going up and down the sidewalk. Yeah, there's going to be poo.

That's the pee spot right there. Yep. I guess that's the toilet. Oh my God. Wow. Right? That's really sad. It is sad, but we had no plan for bringing these people in. They came in way too fast. We had no plan of actually assimilating them. We had no plan for what they were going to do. But the idea was the Democrats, and Mayorkas in particular, total traitor to the country,

said, we're just going to bring these people in as fast as possible. And then somehow New York in its infinite wisdom says, you know who who we like we like this mum Donnie guy yeah he's gonna be the answer to this stuff because he's going to tax the rich and make this problem go away and I'm here to say he's gonna exacerbate the problem and make it worse so so this this is what it's like now for somebody this is a young girl she'd post this I don't know maybe I'm gonna guess six months ago is when I ran across it. Oh, yeah, this is her experience trying to just get from a to b in london. Do you think this outfit is provocative? Do you think it's provocative? I'm wearing a fucking

How is this okay, right? Keep this in mind. This is what I was wearing How is this okay, right? Keep this in mind. This is what I was wearing. I Had to go one stop on the tubes One stop five minutes five minutes is the total travel time from the tube to the nails alone I had to get my nails done, right? On the two I get on right two guys sit next to me one of them goes like this Stretches his arm. I'm sitting over there One of them goes like this, stretches his arm, I'm sitting over there, stretches his arm, he touches my shoulder, and his friend's laughing, he is laughing. Five minutes, guys! What is going on? I get off the tube, some guy, he gets off the tube as well, follows me when I get out of the station. I kind of do the thing where you look back, this guy's following me He followed me all the way to the nail salon at the traffic light

Another guy came from the front He purposely walked in my way so he could bump into me and the guy following me from the behind This was five minutes Five minutes and guess what it was at 1 p.m. During the day, broad daylight, how is it possible that I was fucking shitting myself scared to go outside from the nail salon after because I was I had interactions with three people where I was scared for my safety. This is like not okay.

Middle of the day in London. Come on. Wow. This is not fair. What the fuck is going on? Figure shit out. Oh my God. So, so what would you do if do if that was your common experience?

What would I do? Yeah. I'd get out of there. I mean, my instinct would be to get away from it. If you could, if you couldn't, I know you, you would not leave the home. Probably not. If I didn't feel safe, I wouldn't. Nope.

And that's very common. And you can't carry there. No, no, you're not allowed to defend yourself. You can't have any weapon that would make you feel safer because as a woman you definitely pay attention to stuff like that And but it's terrorizing that's terror right there. That's not fair. Yep Yeah, so I Mean, yes Obviously her hair was very provocative. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was the blonde. It's just awful.

It is why women are not allowed to be alone in public in the Middle East. True. Yep. But this is on purpose, right? So on purpose, they brought all these people. And on purpose, they've made it so that if you complain about this on social media,

you will go to prison. On purpose, they've made it so that if you complain about this on social media, you will go to prison on purpose. They've made it that if you even remotely, even indicate that you are not happy with this particular program, they'll knock on your door and they will knock on your door. Right. But meanwhile, this is people's daily experience. And so, um, you know, we, unbelievable, we know people now who went to London and had to leave, like they were only there a few months and had to exfil because they said they didn't feel safe,

they didn't like it. And these were people who were working in a fairly high level government position. I mean, these are, they theoretically have access to resources you and I don't have. And even they were like, ooh, this is ugly. I mean, it's ugly now. And by the way, this is before resources

even really dial in and get tight. The UK is in deep trouble. By the way, if you live there, strongest advice I have live way out in the country and find a way to get illegal arms if you have to or some way of protecting yourself. You feel good about giant Malamutes, whatever you have to do, right? You know, lots of friends, whatever you have to do. You get some bull cows, trained kangaroos, whatever you have to do, right? Whatever you can do or get out. Yeah, leave or yeah, or get out or leave. Yeah, so let's carry on with us then so

So turns out 57% of women don't feel safe on London's streets Nearly half have been followed over a quarter physically or sexually assaulted. Okay. Hang on. All right, so so physically or sexually assaulted. Okay hang on all right so dudes in the UK if you can't protect your women you've failed you've lost it as a society you've completely failed right you're in an aquarium and they put in some male betta fish with you and you're guppies at this point when you can't protect your women you've lost it you've lost the plot line now I see that people are starting to rise up against this a little bit in places like Scotland and Ireland.

There's started to be some pushback, but it's, as Michael Yahn says, there's really no way through that, no way to the end of this except going through it. There's gonna be some, there's gonna be some fighting at some point, right? Because as a RFK, sorry, JFK, the senior said, those who would make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.

So what they've done is they've created very, very deeply unsafe situations and just let that all run. And Evie, it's not even, it's pretty bad. This is in London, this is a London park, but maybe this is what Central Park should look like or maybe this is what, you know, people who are voting for socialist Marx. This is what I think they would want Central Park to look like. Those are machetes. running after people with machetes? Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, people get hacked by machetes all the time there now.

That guy's not doing so good anymore. So anyway, it's like this all the time there. Like just just even if they didn't even have machetes that that assemblage of people of that age from all those different cultures I already feel on edge. Right. Right. Yep. Because we don't maybe share the same ethos about how they should respect you or me or anyone else. Clearly, I mean, I don't know when this is, but they have nothing to be doing during the middle of the day, except hang around in big throngs. Like that's not healthy either, you know, for a bunch of young people to be unemployed, you know,

and given a debit card, excuse me, by wherever, because I'm guessing that the UK, like in London, they give the same kind of debit card crap that we do here when people come across illegally. It's really sad. And it's true, VivB. These machete videos have been there common for years. I mean, I could have put up hundreds of them here. If you go up a little bit, Dan Edwards asked a question that I thought was interesting. Let's see. Where is it? He was saying, no, it's right there. This one. Yep. Okay. Hey, guys, has anyone gone into Springfield recently and investigated down there? Is this stuff

coming to a city near us in Massachusetts? Well, we were just did a no Kings rally. That's right. But I don't know if that was representative of we were there investigating. Yeah. So, um, just to be clear, by the way, this next lady is a dating advice professional and she lives in London. And so she said this just came back from a large birthday party full of very wealthy people. Nearly all of them are leaving the UK, all for the exact same two reasons. Too much tax and too many migrants. That's the model. Right? That's the model New York City is about to pursue. So I just want to give a little foreshadowing. Like it takes a few years for this to really fully, you know,

turn into a complete bunghole. But this is the direction it's all going. Okay. And, and so the wealthy people leave, right. And then you have poor people and then you have lower taxes. And then you find out where's all the prosperity gone. And eventually they're like, well, we have to have government run stores because nobody's here to run the stores. Like, yeah, if only, if only this could have been foreseen, this is the

mysterious part to me, Evie is that the left, the progressives don't understand that their utopian visions always fail for the same reasons. Greed and resentment do not make new things appear. They don't make prosperity. They don't. No, hard work and being organized and coming together and, you know, critical thinking and rationality, that's what makes prosperity yeah in my opinion but well so the mayor of London who was overseeing a lot of that decline Sadiq Khan you'll be unsurprised to find out that he just got

knighted on June 10th for a job well done got the hair bend the knee sword from the King Charles no way imagine being given a knighthood for turning London into a third world shithole. Yep. A London promise. If you work hard and get a helping hand you can achieve anything. Right. Immensely proud to receive a knighthood from his majesty the king growing up on a council estate in Tooting I never imagined. One day I would sell out my country and ruin it. Exactly. Wow. Yeah. No, but this is the thing. It is you get rewarded for doing what the machine wants and the machine clearly wants Western society broken. It wants us destroyed for some

reason. I don't know why but it just does. And so you watch these people get knighted and nobody gets in trouble. Right. So one of my great disappointments with the, with the Trump administration so far is that me York has, has not been arrested. Right. He needed to be, he needs to be arrested and all his underlings, everybody who was involved in that was treason.

Yes. And I think that destroying a city like London doesn't, shouldn't get you a knighthood, it ought to get you a one way trip to the slammer, you know London Tower for this guy that's right that's but that's me so guess what choices have consequences Evie and already people are not wasting any time saying these kinds of things to New Yorkers. Dear New York when your state completely turns to crap Don't even think about moving here to Texas. You won't be in New York in my Texas Yep, sorry, dear New York you fucked up big time. Do not start moving to Republican cities and states We do not want you On behalf of red state residents everywhere in New York City

We do not want your leftist political refugees in our state elections have consequences now you get to live with them New York City voters do not move to my state after you find out yeah yeah Fafo so but this is this is very common now people have started to figure out the pattern and the pattern is all these progressive people they like to administrate themselves they have these utopian ideals they think abstractly we have to help the people, we have to tax the rich, right? They never have a program for that. But when you strip away all the nonsense, it's you have something I want. And I'm envious of that. And I know you've worked for your stuff, but that doesn't feel fair

to me. I just want it anyway. That's right. That's right. That's what they did in out in California, right? Absolutely. I mean, ton of people have left California for the same reasons I think yeah, and and they also we've heard have gone to other states and brought their politics with them And that's I think why people are reacting that way. Yep. Well indeed indeed Okay, so very quickly a less than one minute commercial from my other favorite of sponsor. Let's hear from them right now I know what's plaguing you you feel like everybody around you has gone insane Hello, dr. Chris Martinson here. Look we've built a world on cheap oil endless growth and borrowed time

But the cracks are showing endless growth and borrowed time. But the cracks are showing. Inflation's up, resources are thinning, and the old rules don't seem to apply anymore. I've tracked this for years from the crash course to today and I'm not here to sugarcoat it. At Peak Prosperity, I'm your information scout hunting down the facts, cutting through the noise, and showing you how to adapt. This isn't just information, it's a lifeline. The game is changing fast. Are you ready? Subscribe to Peak Prosperity now and let's get ahead of the curve. All right and we are back with this. Let's talk about this now. Can we talk about the, I got, you know what?

It's not just that the blue states ruin prosperity, Evie. Yeah. It's that they actually promote death and destruction as well. And let's just, so I'm not, I have a long memory. I can't get over things. Like I can't get over what happened during COVID, right? Civil rights stripped away. They put this death jab in everybody.

They put people on ventilators and demonized ivermectin, even though that was like exactly the wrong thing to do. And if you flip a coin a hundred times and it comes up heads every time, you've got to start thinking, well, maybe it's not a fair coin. Maybe this is a program. So once we look at this, we can,

you remember we talked about how Como moved people with active respiratory infections into old folks' homes and then failed in a standard of care in those old folks' homes, and a lot of people died in the care of the old folks' homes. So that was a thing. But was that just a New York thing? Well, now we can look at all the states with long-term care deaths, and everybody who had a long-term care death of more than 50% oops I forgot to highlight Delaware

there just under that top red bar Colorado Connecticut then Delaware I should have highlighted them just an oversight but if you had more than 50% of your long-term care share of deaths that came with COVID you got a red bar so let's start adding this up. That was Colorado, Connecticut, was Delaware, was Illinois, was Indiana. Are you seeing the pattern yet? Oh. Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,

Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania. You forgot Vermont. Did I miss Vermont? Yeah. All the way at the bottom. I was reading down there. I would get there eventually. Oh sorry. Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. So when you add that up it is almost overwhelmingly blue states. Yeah. Why was it that blue states had the highest level of care deaths in long-term care homes? Well, the only answer I can come up with is they don't care about old folks and they don't

care about kids. Right. They actually don't care about people. Well, abstractly, but not concretely. Exactly. Right? Concretely, you would say, which old folks homes are losing the least? I mean, it was a staggering difference, right? Wow.

Some of these, like look at Rhode Island, 75%. 75%, you'd think, well, can I look at Wisconsin and ask what they're up to with 27% or Tennessee? How did Tennessee get by with 27%? How did it? And Tennessee is pretty, like the argument could be, some places are more metropolitan and have more cities, blah, blah, blah.

But I don't think that's the cities, blah, blah, blah. But I don't think that's the case necessarily here. Yeah, well, so I've presented this before, but this is looking at the excess deaths in the UK. So I'm arguing here that London, part of the UK, that the UK is going to be a model for what New York is voting for itself. That in fact, I would submit the same is true of Washington State, Seattle and all of that, Oregon, like whole parts of California. You know the blue the blur

of the part is the more this came true but let's this really breaks it down because the UK isn't just England it's also Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and what was interesting was this shows the amount of excess deaths above a standard deviation. Anything above this red dotted line is an emergency and you have to look at it because you're so many standard deviations away from expected normal statistical behavior. Something really bad is going on. And look, here's this first COVID wave in early 2020. Look, 22 standard deviations above normal. I mean, this is like, oh my God, worst thing ever, right? And then here's this other giant wave,

but there were these four lesser waves. Anytime you poke your head above that red dotted line, you have trouble, but would you look at this? Northern Ireland never poked its head above the dotted line. Now, how is it that England proper had statistically anomalous deaths that were literally one in a billion year, you know, if it was random chance and Northern Ireland never did. Scotland didn't. Wales didn't. So wait a minute. I thought the COVID narrative was there was this global

respiratory virus. It just went through the air. You have to stay six feet apart and you do all of that, but it somehow didn't hit Ireland, Scotland or Wales. Now what happened? What happened? Now we know because I've done the reporting on this that this was called the medasillium murders. What happened was they in England, they put forward a set of policies that said, oh, if older, older people seem to have the COVID, make them comfortable, give them overdoses of medasillam and morphine. And so they killed them. And there's the data right there.

This is about 55,000 old people in England who were killed by the system. So that system also thinks abstractly, and honestly, it was probably better for the system because they have to pay for it with the NHS and all that. And it would be cheaper if these old people died rather than you had them live out their lives in comfort and care, you know, after they've given all they can.

But they're not even necessarily old. That's 45 to 64. That's not old. Well, it's no, but not. But they got killed. No, I know. These were people who were in care homes. And for the most part, they just got they just got zipped.

Anyway, you're right. But yeah, so, but this, but this chart alone, this right here, prima facie evidence of murder right here. Has anybody gone to jail for that? No, they probably got knighted. I'm not kidding. Right. They probably did. But there it is in one chart showing the complete lie of the COVID situation. Right? And that happened in New York state. And then New York Democrats got together and said, you know, let's put Como up as the best person we can put up against this radical Marxist guy. It was these crazy ideas. I know. And then they all voted for the radical Marxist guy because I guess murder was a bridge too far. Who knows? So, but this is the world we live in. You think he's going

to get it though? I don't know. I don't know. But if he does, easy prediction. Are there enough people that would vote? New York City continues its slippery slope towards this disaster that we're looking at right here. But the point is that this, this ideology that I, the UK is kind of like an ultra blue state to me at this point. You can't have guns, totally any state. You get in trouble if you say the wrong thing, bad tweet. You're not even allowed to stand silently praying. Like they've just like, you're, they don't want you to be white. There's no freedom. And they don't want you to have any freedom or autonomy. And they don't want you to have

any self agency. You can't protect yourself when you are not allowed to protect yourself. They've stripped away the most fundamental right there is, which is the right to protect yourself from being harmed. Right. A right to decide for your own body. You have no rights in the UK, including up to the right to live. If they decide it's time is as a state sanctioned progress program to kill you. That's what this is. This is state sanctioned murder right here. Okay, fine. Wow you that's what this is this is state sanctioned murder right here okay fine that's what the blue states want to introduce at this point in time right mm-hmm overwhelmingly I'm not saying the

red states are all that in a bag of rocks maybe you know they're just perfect but but can we at least agree there's an ideology out there it's about death and destruction yeah this is who they are that's right right so carrying on is an example of this though i don't think there was anybody creepier to me than this jacinda ardin lady from the prime minister of new zealand i don't think there was anybody creepier so she was just on this show recently and we're going to listen in. This is part of her resurrection to her, which is being filmed overseas because she's really disliked in her home country in such a severe way. They don't dare show a video of her walking down the street because it would be ugly. But at any rate, listen in.

All we have the option of blaming others, of saying that the cause of the insecurity you feel or the financial insecurity you feel is this group or this group. And that is a quick and easy way to do politics. Insight fear. It's the oldest trick in the book, but it is the most harmful and the most damaging. And I talk openly about the alternative. Well she used the oldest trick in the book as a routine order of business.

Right, I'm a little confused here. I know, you're like, isn't this like being given dating tips by, you know, Harvey Weinstein? This is awkward, right? Like she's giving us a lecture in political morality and she was the most politically immoral person I know about. Right. And of course, Oprah Winfrey is like a highly questionable human being to me at this stage, given all the other stuff we know about at this stage.

But anyway, let's carry on. This is just, you're right, this is confusing. Because they exist. There are leaders who champion empathetic leadership, who actually want to solve the problems. But what we see a spotlight more often is that alternative. And I wish so much that we can turn towards those more optimistic hopeful and inclusive responses to problems

rather than the fear that we see people reach to. Rather than the fear that we see people reach to. Rather than the fear that we see people reach to. Okay, Jacinda, let's go into your history here real quick. So you basically said this is going to be like, it's almost like, you probably don't see it like this, the two different classes of people, if you're vaccinated or if you're unvaccinated, you have all these rights. If you are vaccinated. That is what it is. So yep. Yep. If you are vaccinated, that is what it is. So, yep. Yep. So you basically said you have these two classes of people vaccinated, unvaccinated, right? Yeah. She's like, yep. That is what it is. Yep. That's that is what it is. So two classes of people divided by fear. She's and she was happy about it at the time. Now she's trying her little PR recovery to her to pretend like she's some shining example of empathy

and all of that. But that's creepy. So you basically said this is gonna be like, almost like, you probably don't see it like this, the two different classes of people, if you're vaccinated or if you're unvaccinated, you have all these rights. If you are vaccinated.

That is what it is, so, yep. Yep, you have all these rights if you are vaccinated. That is what it is. So yep. Yep. Yep. You have all these rights if you're vaccinated. And you don't have rights if you're unvaccinated. Yep. Yep. She said, yep. Oh, by the way, by the way, this lady, the most up to date information. Hold up too loud for my ear. All these, they all have different volumes on them. So just one. There we go. Let's try that again. Back it up. The most up to date information daily. You can trust us as a source of that information. You can also trust the Director General of Health and the Ministry of Health. For that

information, do feel free to visit at any time to clarify any rumor you may hear. COVID-19.govt.nz. Otherwise, dismiss anything else. We will continue to be your single source of truth. We will provide information frequently. We will continue to be your single source of truth, which of course, perversely, all turned out to be non-truthful, completely full of crap, andversely all turned out to be non truthful, completely full of crap and complete bunk and which is why she's very much persona non grata in her own country. It was all lies. Did you hear the background sound?

It sounded like people were like protesting out there. Didn't listen in the background. I could just hear this like sounded like shouting or something like that. We will be your single source of truth. Right? She says so you'll be pleased to know this though, Evie, that, um, it turned out once the dust settled that they did give out exemptions to the COVID vaccination. No, 11,000 politicians and elites, of course,

of course, of course, received an exemption for the COVID vaccination. This is shocking. All right, that makes me angry. It was an open government act. It was a FOIA request. They had to pry it out of their hands because, you know, the single source of truth, right? 11,000 politicians a member. It says Michael Ray Griffin, Gray Griffin, who I've interviewed with before, and interviewed with Dr. Paul Oosterhoof, who's a good friend, and Liz Gunn. So I've known these people. And they had to foiled out $11,000. They gave themselves vaccine exemptions, lectured us on the truth. And now she's on this tour going, oh, you know, right. We need more leaders who can do it with empathy, you know, not dividing by fear.

Right? We should divide by elite status, obviously. Obviously. If you're rich empathy, you know, not dividing by fear, right? We should divide by elite status, obviously. Obviously, if you're rich enough, you can dodge the death jab, right? You're not rich enough, you don't get to dodge it. That's fair. Right. That's literally who this person is. She's disgusting human being and for Oprah Winfrey to to platform her just tells you the kind of person you got there. Right? No, Oprah Winfrey like, mm. She was lapping it up. Yeah, not like going, whoa, whoa, whoa, Jacinda, let me gather a couple of clips

because what you just said is not who you just were. Did you do an ayahuasca experience and have a hero's dose of mushrooms? Like what changed, right? Must be something, right? Yeah. So let's listen in on Jacinda and climate change because this to me strips bare EV,

the ethos of the utopias. Theopians say everybody it's not sufficient it's not sufficient that you just sort of do what we say and you have to believe worse even more you have to like what they are doing like they insist on complete obedience you have to be in their tribe. But the only way we can get to utopia is if everybody believes the same thing. So here she goes explaining that ideology. This is in front of the UN talking about New Zealand and compliance. This week we launched an initiative alongside companies and nonprofits to help improve research and understanding of how a person's online experiences are curated by automated processes.

This will also be important in understanding more about mis- and disinformation online, a challenge that we must as leaders address. As leaders, we're rightly concerned that even the most light touch approaches to disinformation could be misinterpreted as being hostile to the values of free speech that we value so highly. But while I cannot tell you today what the answer is to this challenge, I can say with complete certainty that we cannot ignore it. To do so poses an equal threat to the norms we all value. Oh, you know, obviously free speech, very important. But on the other hand, we can't just have that. So we have to strike a balance, which I think favors us. Right?

It's just, it's so, there is no but after free speech. There's no like, you know, free speech is important, but there's no but. There's no but on it. No, there can't be. Because rights don't have conditions, right? If it's a conditional right, it's not no but. There's no but on it. Nope. Nope. There can't be. Because rights don't have conditions, right? If it's a conditional right, it's not a right.

It's a privilege. So she's here trying to weasel word her way into this idea that free speech is really a conditional provisional privilege. It's granted by the government to the peons who unfortunately had to take the death job. She's a WEF puppet person. Yeah, she's a young global leader. You say puppet person. Let's get it right. That's what I mean, though. After all, how do you successfully end a war if people are led to believe the reason for its

existence is not only legal, but noble? How do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists? How do you... There it is. How do you tackle climate change if people believe it doesn't exist? Well, I'll tell you how you do this, Jacinda. It's really not hard. What you do is you ignore the people who don't think it exists. You show us that you can build a better system, right? Using wind towers and solar panels. you just do it. And because it's obviously better and you know it works, right? You build the better system. And then people see that and they go, Oh, I'd be happy to live in a clean, tidy environment. The problem is, is that you're, it doesn't work. Alternative energy is not fit for purpose.

You can't run a complex, complicated, just-in-time global economic model with a lot of elites with 400-foot yachts using windmills and solar panels. They're nice but they're not center stage. They have good supporting lines to deliver on in the Broadway act but they're not the lead actor or actress in the story. It can't be just intermittency, whole complicated story. So she doesn't say ever here. Notice what she's, she's not saying, look, we've already proven that we can have just as good if not a better life under this new model. Nope, that's not what she said. What she said was this, back it up tiny bit.

If people are led to believe the reason for its existence is not only legal, but noble, how do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists? How do you tackle climate change if people, some people, doesn't believe it exists? So this is the utopian mindset. The utopian mindset is very simply, we can't get to utopia until everybody believes. Right.

Remember? But this was the same thing. Like, my shot doesn't work unless you've had your shot. Right. Well, But this was the same thing. Like my shot doesn't work unless you've had your shot. Right. Well, then the shots don't work. Like, wait, what? It was like the stupidest thing ever. You know, we don't get to herd immunity until everybody has the shot. You must participate. It's not how it worked just a few years ago. And for all of human history, it's but such crap. But that that is that is the the mentality of the of the utopias. It won't work unless everybody's on board, which is why they have to exterminate everybody. This is how it goes.

The utopias move in, the Marxists, the Trotskyites, they move in and they say, look, we have this better vision, but unfortunately, there's some people who don't believe in this vision. So we're going to have to get rid of them. In Cambodia, that was anybody with glasses or anybody they thought was intellectual. They, they, they like retarded their whole country by killing their most intelligent people. So they didn't breed right in the future in other countries. It was the Christians, right? Cause the Christians sit there and go, you know, no, I've got a God already. I'm good. And they're like, well, that's no good. Cause until we have everybody believing

in the state, right. It won't work. It's that whole utopius idea, until everybody agrees with me 100%, this thing I want can't come true. Right, and I think that's why the United States was such an interesting experiment, right? Because it was the idea of bringing people together from all different backgrounds and people having the right to practice whatever religion they wanted to, to believe in whatever God or gods they wanted to, to, to have that freedom. And now I think we're, we're actually on the brink of that teetering, uh, in the

other direction and going away because of the choices we're making. Well, it, and it has a flavor of this, right? Um, this is a world takeover by communists. Uh, yes. Uh, yes, itover by communists. Ah, yes. Ah, yes. It's, it's, yes. Yep. And, and there's a whole, this is who, you know, Jacinda was referring to, and she's

like, Oh, we have so many beautiful empathetic leaders now. Right. Trudeau, Macron. Von der Leyen. Von der. Von der Leyen. Von der Leyer. Von der always Leyen. All right. Vonderlier. Vonder, always lion.

All right, that is our show for today, Evie. You got something to weigh in this plane? I do, I do. Bring it home, put this thing on the ground. It's called, Try to Praise the Mutilated World. Try to praise the mutilated world. Remember June's long days and wild strawberries, drops of rosé wine, the nettles that methodically overgrow the abandoned homesteads of exiles. You must

praise the mutilated world. You watched the stylish yachts and ships. One of them had a long trip ahead of it while salty oblivion awaited others. You've seen the refugees going nowhere. You've heard the executioners sing joyfully. You should praise the mutilated world. Remember the moments when we were together in a white room and the curtain fluttered. Return in thought to the concert where music flared. You gathered acorns in the park in autumn and leaves eddied over the earth's scars praise the mutilated world and the gray feather a thrush lost and the gentle light that strays and vanishes and

returns. Beautiful. Thank you for that. And thank you everybody for being here today. That is our Signal Hour. We are completely pleased to say, well, adios amigos. Thank you so much for being here with us, everybody. It's been absolutely wonderful. Thank you. We'll be back next Wednesday.

Stay cool, take good care of yourselves and each other, and we'll look forward to seeing you next week. All right. Bye, everyone.
