The Last American Vagabond - Israel Calls For Direct Strikes On Iranian Civilian Infrastructure As It Targets Lebanese Civilians

Starting point is 00:00:00 It starts with a simple question and ends in objective reality. Reality. Through our journey from there to here, we find one another and ourselves. And as the next 24 hours breaks free from our last, we gaze onward in reflection of the day. Tell your own You're only Welcome to the daily wrap up. Saturday, May 9th,

Starting point is 00:00:43 2026, thank you for joining me today. Well, there's been a bunch of events over the last few days, more attacks on Ron, more responses, more skirmishes in the straight of Hormuz that we're going to cover, make sure you understand what actually happened there. Frustrantly enough, after I had a really great interview

Starting point is 00:01:01 yesterday with Hivoree Morich, really hope you will check that I'll point to it in the show in a second. I ultimately had to leave, like right afterward, had some stuff that took the rest of my day and like right as I left. Of course, we see, you know, the usual thing spin out. And it's just frustrating because what the first thought I had when I saw that was, you know, which is actually insane when you think about it.

Starting point is 00:01:23 So we're getting reports from what you would argue are usually places that, you know, we should never take a base value left, right, corporate, not. We should always question it. What sources that you can, you know, generally are ones that are tapped into something that's, you know, especially about things that are larger, right? So you get the reports that the U.S. has bombed in Iran. And my first thought is, did it even happen? I mean, which is insane to think about because usually that's something that's like, well,

Starting point is 00:01:49 you know, my point is always as well, you know, this is not Gaza, right? There are people all around. People can see these things. There's massive explosions. But nonetheless, it's weird that we're at a point where I have to go, did that even actually happened? Did it happen the way they said it did? Now, even though that's weird, it's a point.

Starting point is 00:02:05 positive thing. I mean, I've always been doing that, but I think more people than ever are at a point where they're just not in like some intensive moments. Some people are a little too much in that regard, but just generally going, you know, it did that happen the way they said it did. Notating what they said, keeping in the back of my mind, there could be something they lied about. Like, that's just like normal, commonplace engagement with especially government information. So what we're going to cover today is ultimately that point forward, what happened, the responses, the tankers that were attacked and the honestly similar situation that we've been in this entire time. And the routing, the shipping lanes from Iran and people that continue to violate those standings from Iran,

Starting point is 00:02:47 you know, whether you agree they should be there or not, it's the current standing, it's the current reality. And the rest of it seems to be U.S. maintaining a blockade that is in every functional purpose, everything about it is illegal. They don't have any legal standing from a war setting. They don't have the War Powers Act. There's no congressional authority. Nothing about this is legal.

Starting point is 00:03:05 And then on top of that, there was a ceasefire that that blockade continues to violate and they continue to act like it's maintained. So anything that's done from that is illegal. Anything that's done to Iran is illegal. Even if you think Iran is in the wrong and what they're doing, the responses are rooted in the response to an illegal action. That's not debatable. That's what's so important to understand. This is not choosing sides. It's not good guy, bad guy.

Starting point is 00:03:29 it's about understanding the legal reality of where they currently are, or the lie of the eminent threat that they have literally exposed themselves. Or more information every day, not coming out new, but reiterating what we already knew, that they were not seeking a nuclear weapon, did not seek to build one, did not even have the materials necessary to do so, especially not now with the enrichment facility destroyed. The 60% was something they legally held that was within their safeguard agreement, about 1,000 pounds.

Starting point is 00:03:53 That was well discussed, well acknowledged, and openly put forward at the meetings that Whitkoff either too stupidly, well, you know, he tried to play the idea that he was not aware or didn't understand, which he doesn't. He doesn't have the knowledge needed, but he also just lied about it. Very publicly, very easy to prove. I've gone over many times. So coming to today and what's happening, to understand all of that, it's very relevant to where we go from there, right? Because you can't, if you're starting from this point where Iran tried to break the blockade, so they're in the wrong, well, that's an illegal blockade.

Starting point is 00:04:22 And on top of that, they're only seemingly going after their adversarial elements, not people that are just trying to traverse the straight, the blockade is in fact the one stopping that. It's interesting. Now, what on top of that is important, of course, is the larger repercussions for the global energy dynamic, the transition of governance that I see taking place. There's a few points that are relevant around that as well. Of course, what we're going to end on before I even touch on what I was going to say is the Lebanon part of the larger situation.

Starting point is 00:04:52 It's all one thing that is happening there, for at least from the mind of Israel. And so Lebanon and of Iran, of course, since Lebanon is part of the alleged ceasefire that doesn't exist. And Israel has continued to bomb in Lebanon ever since. There is no, I mean, and this is what's frustrating is that Trump continues to pretend that that's still somehow maintained. It's the same situation with Israel saying they killed 700 people today, but the ceasefire shakily continues. I don't even know what that. It shows you it's a one-sided perspective that Israel could do whatever it wants. The U.S. can do whatever it wants.

Starting point is 00:05:25 is now they're adopting that mindset. But if they respond in a certain way, they do something different. If they want to, they'll call it a violation. But in regard to the larger, I guess, technocratic side of it as I would see it, but however you want to frame it, the changing of the way things operate in the world

Starting point is 00:05:41 happening all around us. There's a part I want to touch on today around that briefly, around the technocratic kind of overlap with my interview with Herborre, which I'll point on to in a second. Now, to get into this, I want to just point out quickly the article

Starting point is 00:05:54 rather the show that we did, the article we posted about it, or the post on the last American Vagabond, the last show we did, Iran destroyed over 228 U.S. military targets. Now, this is disputed, argue honestly, in the sense that there's a lot more than that. Now, of course, from the U.S. side, they've disputed this happened at all. The evidence is very, very clear at this point, from satellites, GPS. I mean, it's all very clear that you can see GPS in the sense of the ships that they have bombed or said they haven't and so on from like the larger lies of what they have and have not done. So in this case, 228 U.S. military targets, you know, right in the beginning, it was clear that these bases, many of them were destroyed.

Starting point is 00:06:31 We just didn't know how many. And yet they lied about that. And now more has come out showing you that Iran effectively, you know, let's just say was successful in their efforts. Who's to say whether they won in that exchange? I mean, that's where the evidence seems to point, but I'm not going to say I know that right now. And at the end of the day, with what we know about their interceptors from the side of the U.S. and Israel, and their response, it either seems that they expected Iran to not do that. this or they underestimated their abilities or Israel wanted the U.S. to end up in a weak position. Those are the three things that make the no sense to me. But understand that that's something they lied to you about and the people that were killed along that as well. And the many, many different things of millions of dollars that that cost American taxpayers, as well as the failed false flags, which I believe are still extending to this point. And I believe it's

Starting point is 00:07:15 pretty damn obvious. That's what this was. The UAE part of this seems to play out still. But let's not forget, at the very least, Iran denied, did they engage with the UAE at all around all of this, and you shouldn't take their claims at face value. But up until this point, it's been just a nonstop repeat of the same thing, where Trump or his team will lie about something, and whether Iran is being honest about it, you end up knowing for sure that Trump lied about it. Now, that's a really important thing to understand, guys, that's not debatable. It's been over and over and over, and that's why everyone's talking about how embarrassing it is. So in this case, the failed false flags, we know that the argument was that they attacked a tanker

Starting point is 00:07:50 that was going through. Well, that one was very clearly about the idea that they weren't following the shipping routes. They did not attack it. They simply deterred it. No one was killed. It did not sink. They turned it around. But yes, they were fired upon. Just, I mean, reality being there in a war footing. And of course, like I said, in any other waterway that is controlled, no ship would be able to fly right through without following the rules that they have applied. Okay, then you had the idea of the port. I think it was a South Korean ship that was allegedly attacked, but I don't think, I haven't seen anything beyond that. There was an explosion while it was in port. I don't know why Iran would do that in any way, shape, or form,

Starting point is 00:08:21 especially towards a South Korean ship. Third, you had the idea of the, which one was it? Oh, the location in UAE that they said was attacked. Again, that of all of them makes the most sense if it was Iran. But all of it said, Iran said they didn't do any of it. And then the evidence came out suggesting that it was actually a U.S. attack on that location, which wouldn't make sense unless you understand that they're trying to drive the impression that Iran is the one causing all the problems.

Starting point is 00:08:46 And they're willing to do anything to get you to think that, which will be more relevant as we go through this today. as well as Trump's insider information, which I touched on. And that is all the shorts and in all the different stock market manipulations around insider knowledge around Trump's actions with Iran and his statements about they're begging for a deal. A lot of people argue that whole embarrassing thing Trump keeps doing is just about trying to get the markets to move a certain way.

Starting point is 00:09:11 People make all these major bets within minutes around that, which very quick or two, I think some of them were like 60, 70 minutes after it and made lots and lots. of money. And it's very clear that there's no way they could have known this consistently about the time. Now, that leads to an interesting part we're going to get to. Glenn Greenwald comes out with this. Now I'm going to let this develop. It's important to see where this goes. But he says very, very importantly, I agree with this. When Somali Americans were accused, now, let's be clear, very clearly there were some of the Americans who were charged and found guilty and held accountable for fraud, Minnesota, most of which happened during Biden's administration. No, that's not a praise of Biden. I

Starting point is 00:09:51 think they're all criminals. The point is it did happen, and you can prove that. Now, there's been a few very recently, by the way, that ended up coming through Trump's efforts. But what's embarrassing is to look at all this and act like they're the ones calling out fraud from the other side when the other side, all part of the same government, by the way, were the ones that really did most of the work around this and put people in jail. What you got was a bunch of weird Nick Shirley in his sweatshirts walking around accusing people that did no evidence for of, let me see your children and acting like that somehow made it all make sense. I have yet to see any real outcome to what Nick did and all of that.

Starting point is 00:10:22 This all felt like propaganda. That's not the same as saying that there's no fraud there. As well as now he suddenly, I was in Cuba and they tried to grab me and it's just like, okay, this is just a seems like a very obvious effort to use this kid to do what they want to do for their current agenda. He's like the living embodiment. If I support the current thing. So the point is when Somali Americans were accused of fraud in Minnesota, many of them unjustly,

Starting point is 00:10:43 there was endless disclosure or discourse, excuse me, about what is it supposedly revealed about Somali and Muslim culture. So the point right there was insulting, because if you're going to argue that this Somali community was the focal point of the fraud, as opposed to just this community got caught with fraud, like you probably find everywhere. Not every person everywhere, but every community, I guarantee there are groups of any number of different races and cultures or religions who try to screw over the government. The point, though, is that they try to make it about the culture, Somali culture, Muslim culture,

Starting point is 00:11:15 as a broad thing. Look, that's what the country's all about. Because, you know, pirates, right guys? Like how he didn't get laughed out of the room. Anyway, the point is, will those who led that discussion do the same for this massive fraud ring and the monolithic group the FBI just arrested?

Starting point is 00:11:32 Now, to be very clear, he's obviously making a point here about their names and what that might suggest. Most people making it about Jewish as opposed to, that's one of the many fair points you could make here. And I think my bigger point is about a cultural manipulation around this to do with Israel, Zionism, which overlaps the large part of the Jewish conversation.

Starting point is 00:11:53 But if you understand what I've proven about this and anybody paying attention knows, it's not just about Jewish people. In fact, most of the people that I can find tied to Zionism who claim Jewish heritage are not that. And realize it's a religion. The idea of some kind of background heritage, that is the manipulation of Zionism, not going to get into it all today. The point is just saying that so you don't fall for the trap that they might want you to jump at. Either way, even if you want to think that's what it's all about, that's your prerogative. Glenn being Jewish himself. He's pointing out that this is, and this is, this is, Brian pointing this thing. I thought this was a joke. I had to see it for myself. Here is the FBI's post.

Starting point is 00:12:27 An FBI Boston investigation has resulted in charges against 30 individuals for their roles in a global insider trading scheme that netted tens of millions of illicit profits. Now, I'm not saying this is immediately directed, connected to what we're talking about. I just find it relevant, as he's pointing out, that it's weird how this massive thing can happen. Funny how we don't get any push from all the people who act like fraud against this government is the big you get the point it all should matter guys whether somali or christian or jewish or whatever else or muslim it just only matters for certain people and half the time they lie about those things to make you think it's happening anyway very important to recognize so this is always happening

Starting point is 00:13:04 on another note i'm just dishonesty again robert barnes calling out his former supporter or supportee i guess he says trump or the disclosed tv says trump you know what's happened today Trump says gas prices are way down and the stock market's way up today. Well, what's funny is even if they were way down, let's just say they went up 1,000% and went down 100%. Well, that'd be a huge drop, but you're still up 900%. Now, those aren't real numbers. I'm just using that to make that clear. That's kind of where we are right now. It's single stock market. And even then the stock market, 401k is the Dow. Guys, I don't know. I mean, I really hope you can take the time to look into this for yourself. It's a simple search. It's insane. The amount of Americans who are invested in the stock

Starting point is 00:13:48 market. The amount of America, like as a whole, like per capita, or I guess just, would that be the right term? I guess as a nation either way. The point is the majority of Americans. How many of them have 401ks? How many are invested in the stock market? You'd be shocked to find out how small the number is, comparatively with how many people are in this country, especially when you realize where most of it slants. And it is not in the middle of class if that even exists anymore. So they use this and go, look how great we're doing. And it applies to his inner circle, the elitist oligarchs around him. That's what this country has become. And Robert Barnes also makes point. says, well, guess what? They're not down. So you're lying anyway. Trump lives in his own delusional

Starting point is 00:14:22 bubble. And then even Twitter says, well, average prices are up. So sorry about that. So what is that about, guys? Is he just, does he just lie? I mean, do you really just think he just brazenly go, I kind of do sometimes, whether because he's that desperate or because he's that desperate, I don't even know what else to say, because he seems like he needs somebody to think something good is happening. But he could be lied to. That's possible too. But I just want you to think about what that would mean. if he's willing to stand there and go, you know, the thing I know isn't true because I hope you, that means he doesn't care at all about you or your interests or what he wants.

Starting point is 00:14:56 I mean, at all. He's trying to play you into thinking you got what you wanted so he cannot lose. That's all that matters right there. And if you think that's unique to Trump, I'm sorry, you're just not paying attention. It is a government problem. Trump's just especially obvious about it. Now, on that note of, you know, whatever, distraction, whatever else they seem to try and do, I wanted to make sure we point you this out.

Starting point is 00:15:16 I'll include this. you can read through it. You know, I mean, guys, it just seems like this, even now, even with cash and Trump has just been like a whole, you know, okay, what's the whole meme thing they do, not hold my beer, what's the other thing? Like, I don't know, like, nobody seemed to care. It just got very little attention. And look, I'm not saying that this isn't something we should talk about or look at now with

Starting point is 00:15:36 what's going on. It's kind of like, well, let's put that in the back seat until we're, you know, beyond the genocidal nuclear holocaust that we're trying to avoid right now where the technocratic global change they're trying to show. down our throats. Either way, this feels like it could be a part of either of those things, whether real or not. And that's really just, that may sound crazy, but you know what, we're in crazy times. And so the title of AP here, bright lights and hot orbs, UFA, you, excuse me, UFO files shed light on sightings, but leave interpretation to the public. I mean, do you don't already

Starting point is 00:16:05 see where this goes, guys? Now, frankly, somebody's laughing about the fact that most of what they're pointing to in here are all things that they siphoned off from people out there doing this, who then hid from you for 40 years. Like somebody, I think, somebody framed funnily enough. I'd actually love to give them credit for it. I didn't think I was going to cite this. But they said something like, it's like getting old chewed up pieces of candy that were given back to you or something. It's like their work. Anyway, the point was, I doubt this goes anywhere. I think it's about just going, look over there at the things that we're never going to define that most people will dismiss, that most people will dismiss as fake,

Starting point is 00:16:36 or whether because they think we're lying or because it's nothing that's even defined. It's either way, I think it's worth considering that there's something else going on, but there's a thousand variables to all this. And I think this is just about getting you to dive down the rabbit hole. They've brought this up many times. There's been many high-level people who have made statements that if they wanted to care about, should have been discussed a long time ago. The idea of people in NASA who have made statements about the fact that there are things out there more than once, like ships and actual other beings. And I'm not making that up. People in NASA have said that more than once over the years. And it gets very little attention.

Starting point is 00:17:10 Presidents around the world have made these statements. And yet here, even, Now it's as if nothing has changed. Now, just take that for what you will. Be very skeptical. I do not think this is going to go a direction that adds to anything that's worth anything, even if it is real. Just take that for what you will. We will cover this if it continues if we get something tangible and not drawings and arguments

Starting point is 00:17:31 and things that we can't define. And just as five times August points out, and yet I argue this even if that's a true statement or even what they're putting out is actually admitting that there is something out there. Five times August says this little picture. your, this graph here, or about the video, excuse me. He simply says, the box of bananas, oh, for the podcast, it's a box of bananas and monkeys run up and just grab them super fast.

Starting point is 00:17:56 He says, the box of bananas is your Friday delivery of government distraction. The monkeys are you. Thank you for your attention on this matter. The idea is simply that, you know, just looking at it that way, right? So basically, the end of the week, come, month comes, whatever, a moment when they want you to go looking somewhere else or want the markets to go a certain way. and so they walk out with their box full of just government tailored narratives. And you get the Nick Sorders and Eric Howries and Alex Jones, Benny Johnson's, and that's them.

Starting point is 00:18:21 That's them right there. Got it. Quick, get it. Talk about it. Quick. Breaking news. Six flashing lights. Holy cow.

Starting point is 00:18:27 It's all happening. And that's what the every single time. And or they say something and that's all the people trying to emulate what they're doing. None of them are checking their facts, care about the truth. But, you know, that's why I appreciate five times August because he's one of the many out there who had hope, just like we showed. who wanted to see something good in here. And you can argue, I don't think that. I think he was pretty quick on it,

Starting point is 00:18:47 but you could argue it took him too long to see it. Either way, when he saw it, he started calling it out. And he's never convented. He's never waffled and been like, well, we've got to support Trump in the midterms, even though he's occupied, like some idiots out there. He called it out because he was felt he was double-crossed.

Starting point is 00:19:03 Because he was. He promised something and he got lied to. He has integrity. So he continues to call it out. I appreciate him. And I think that's important to think about. now interesting and important and very insightful interview with yvore and morrich the tip of the title was is a multipolar world order the solution or just the next trap

Starting point is 00:19:22 now this is something obviously we've talked about a lot just kind of in passing really and a lot of different conversations in my opinion it has been very clear even though it tends to get misrepresented even by people who you know who have good attentions i would argue who think that i'm a little bit more i guess amenable open it's not the truth i mean i don't know how many times I can make it clear that I think government of any flavor of all kinds are the opposite of what I want. The point is that from within a system we currently exist, I tried to broach this with him. I feel like I described it very bad, but it was kind of like, or maybe it's not even a question really, but more so just a thought, which is the idea that,

Starting point is 00:19:58 okay, if we really wanted to get away from government entirely, let's say, like down to it doesn't exist anymore. A logical step from where we are right now would be to have less centralized government, right? To go from a, let's say, unipolar thing. to a multipolar thing. That's not supporting any of the governments within that or even supporting the idea of multipolar world or bricks. It's about just acknowledging that from a basic functional step that would represent maybe a, or even if it is a trick, still is a step away from more centralized to less. So my point was like, if that's a trap, how do we see, like how do we take that step? You know, like my mind would be just snap your fingers and be no government and

Starting point is 00:20:35 move, you know, but that world would be in chaos because people don't understand. Like it has to be a gradual process away from these things, to re-educate people on how their lives can operate without government dictating everything in it. Maybe that never happens. I'd like to believe it can. But the point is, it's interesting to think about how they're trying to sort of cap off those possibles. You know, like even with, here's a, here's the CBDC thing. Like, you know, instead of actually seeing where it might go without a Fed or seeing where we might go without an IRS, they simply float that and give you the worst thing. And what I'm saying in that is that maybe if we hadn't done that, we could have followed that route and the solid of that world was like. And that, but some people may

Starting point is 00:21:09 see it as well, then ending the Fed is the trap. But is it, or is it just the trap that leads to the CBDC? Maybe, you know, it's hard to describe, but I think you get what I'm saying. And so in this case, I wanted to discuss the whole point of that. Now, my mind is, and he's well, very clearly, is that this is sort of an engineered trap. We've gone through more than ones in the past. The idea of the whole global transition, you know, the path, you know, he argued this is 3.0. And now it's a transition to a multipolar world order, global. globalist world order away from the unipolar globalist world order to make that as simple as possible. And whether they agree with each other at the end of the day, neither of them are in our interest.

Starting point is 00:21:49 Now, you could disagree. I know there are a lot of people who see that as the change we need. I, you know, I just think that's a dangerous way to look at it, even if you hope that's the case, because none of these government entities in my mind are any different than any of the rest, if given the time and the power and the ability to consolidate what they have. I'd like to believe, and I'll always hope that I'm wrong about that. And if we're in that situation, you know, leave that opening for that hope to actually flourish. But I will not blindly accept or take it face value that that is the solution ever, even if I actually think it, because we should always be holding their feet of the fire. We also get into the bigger point, right, about this kind of being an organized transition of power.

Starting point is 00:22:26 We briefly touch on the network state point because he references in an article he put out recently that he calls it a global network state that they'll transition to. And it turns out he wasn't necessarily highlighting that same agenda. but it is similar point around the idea of sort of like a multifaceted idea of like a multipolar thing, but it's really simply tapped into one global order in the same way. Sort of like a United States dynamic or a European Union, right? The idea is the same from a global idea. It makes you feel like you've got your own sovereignty, but you don't really. And that's at least the conversation.

Starting point is 00:22:58 I think you guys will get a lot out of it, especially if you disagree, because it's varied, you know, we go through it, we debate, we discuss. Now, on that point, a couple quick things before we base. basically get into the larger point today of just about Ron and what's happened within the last few days. This is Firkon Guzar. I forget to say his last name. It's Guzukara. He put out this clip.

Starting point is 00:23:20 It's really just a small clip from an Al Jazeera documentary. But I just want to play it with this thought. And then to show a couple of tweets, one from Jason Bassler, just kind of keep this in our minds, guys. Because this is not even like on pods going away. It's rapidly developing right alongside what this is. even potentially the same thing if you really want to look at where it's all going. So he writes massive corruption exposed. Now, I'm going to clear.

Starting point is 00:23:42 This is his opinion, but it is about facts that you can prove. We all know that there are technocrats all across the board left and right who dump money into Donald Trump's administration. And we know why they do that way that we want to play it, willfully ignorant about how it's not, you know, they're influencing it. They want things from it. That's politics. That's lobbying.

Starting point is 00:23:58 That's what it is. So he says massive corruption exposed. Tech billionaires funneled millions in a Donald Trump's inauguration fund to secure Pentagon contract. It's funny that people dispute that. That's literally what lobbying is. It's like APEC calling it racist that you say that they influence policy. That's what lobbying is.

Starting point is 00:24:15 These companies are taxpayer money or use taxpayer money to build weapons then extort the government. The Trump administration is entirely bought and paid for. Here's a clip. And that's not it for everyone. I think the companies are hungry for Pentagon Research money because then they don't have to take the risk themselves. For some reason, even though the taxpayers create the technology, the companies control it once it's developed. So the government's beholden to them. If there's a problem in the future,

Starting point is 00:24:38 they can charge whatever they want to fix it. And even when they're crying that there's not enough money to build the weapons we need, they've been spending billions and billions of dollars buying their own stock to bid up the prices. Once they jack up the prices, they make even more money. We're in a situation where, as a nation, we have committed ourselves to a permanent war economy.

Starting point is 00:24:56 What this does is that more and more players in the economy are going to be tempted to jump on board and try to get a piece of the war industry action. And that's what's been happening over the war. That's what's been happening over the past decade with the tech sector. They're all cashing in now, growing the military tech complex. So when you had all the tech bros donating millions of dollars to Donald Trump's presidential inauguration fund, and then you had them all lining up there in front of him, to some people

Starting point is 00:25:20 it was a revelation. But to me it was just a mask that was being ripped off. Those who knew anything at all about how these tech titans operate and how they've locked themselves into the military surveillance network weren't surprised at all. that's not it for everyone. I think the company... What does that happen now? I did not switch that back to repeat.

Starting point is 00:25:43 Like, there's a setting back here. Streamyard is all over the map lately, where it repeats it instead of just ends. Apparently, that switched on its own. I was commenting with him the other day. For some reason, when I press these things, it takes like three, four seconds for it to respond. Steve's getting the same thing.

Starting point is 00:25:56 Apparently, we're the only ones dealing with that. I doubt that. It's just frustrating. But so the clip, by the way, as I was watching that clip, I immediately felt okay. I think the... company. Like, I just want to point something out. I didn't notice this when I was about to play it. And I, and he points out good things, but I hate, I hate to see this. That he looks like he

Starting point is 00:26:13 cropped out the Al Jazeera thing and put his own thing up at the right. Just because you clip it, I, I disagree with that. I think that's a, that's not good. You shouldn't do that. If you're going to use someone's work, make sure they're credited as well as there's no need to put your own thing on somebody else's work unless you've added to it, not just clipped it. But anyway, I just wanted to point that out because I have a, I have a thing about that. But so the clip, though, and the, and the topic. Okay. this may not matter to you. You may think this, but I think, to me, it matters.

Starting point is 00:26:39 It makes all the difference. It's not about whether what you think is some kind of racial thing about Israel. You can look and see what Israel's doing. What's doing in Gaza, what it's doing in Lebanon, what it's doing in Syria, what it's doing in Iran. It's just insane that we can even take a, like anything that that government's connected to should be immediately going, okay, well, that, that's a problem for me. What are they, what are they influencing within that? So when you can see that Peter Thiel's Palantir and Alscarp, who's in the picture as well, have agreed to a strategic partnership with Israel in 2024 at the height of their genocide in Gaza,

Starting point is 00:27:13 thinking about what they're doing and what they're building and these tech contracts that are tied to Trump's administration. And as you just saw, the ability to just hold all the cards, if you think about it that way, well, it makes a difference to me that they have a partnership with Israel. On the next part, this is what Jason Bassler put out. I found this really interesting. So what's been the push the whole time, right? That we have to beat China in the AI race, which there is some level of truth to that. Some of them actually really do feel that way.

Starting point is 00:27:40 And again, there is some level of, you know, of a race, right? But as he writes, and he does the whole upper capital, lowercase kind of thing that says, we need more data centers to beat China. So this is the difference, right? AI, AI race, I do think is a thing. Who's to say who's in the lead? It's kind of abstract. But the idea that we need more data centers.

Starting point is 00:27:58 Now, actually, what's funny? Let me actually play this real quick. I forgot about this. and I was going to use it in a different show. I don't have that much time today. Let me play a quick clip that I downloaded Orwell sent me from Catherine Austin Fitz. Just the opening of it with Tucker Carlson, actually. And again, showing you this is, you know, Catherine's a founding member of the IMA,

Starting point is 00:28:14 somebody who's talked to us about this very topic many times, a long time ago. We're not Tucker Carlson. Just to recognize the value of this show and the people we bring to you that we never get recognized for because they're afraid of this kind of work getting out there. I think that's important to think about. Now, before I go to her clip, the point being, the AI data centers. Is that really what this is about? I do think it's a big part of it, like AI and that kind of race. Her argument is it's much, much more about the control grid

Starting point is 00:28:39 and basically managing the data of you and everybody else, the digital twin dynamic, all of it to control, to be able to effectively control from the control grid. Now, the point, though, is that the data centers that the U.S. is building wildly outmatched what China's doing. The U.S. has 12 times more data centers than China. Now, you could argue that China somehow withholding information, but from my brief look into this, it doesn't appear that it's pretty seems the data is pretty objective. And it says at this point, the China threat feels more like a marketing campaign for U.S. mass surveillance, especially when you consider what she's about to tell you. So just think about that. We have to do it quick, hurry,

Starting point is 00:29:20 and destroying towns and water problems and energy issues, then it turns out that that's not even 12,000? You know what I mean? Like, think about 12 times more than what China has. Maybe we should should take a beat and not destroy our country until we figure it. I don't think it's even about this. This is what I really do think it is about. I think she says this well. Go back to 9-11. And when Wesley Clark said we're going to invade seven countries in five years,

Starting point is 00:29:48 what you were talking about were the countries where those central banks were not on board to do programmable money. And their governance structures were not on board with essentially, you know, because of Epstein, I'll call it the Rockefeller Rothschild model, there was an effort to say, okay, we're going to basically assert control of the central banks in those countries. That's my interpretation. And I think one of the reasons we're seeing so much tension around Iran is because Iran right now is the big leakage in the system.

Starting point is 00:30:26 How? So. Wait, it's not about their nukes? No. So, well, you know, Iran's central bank counts. One of the reasons it counts is because their oil and energy is very important, including for China. Yeah. And that's very important in the BRIC system. What the BRIC system is trying to do is to create independent payment systems. But if you're going to come out with programmable money, with digital IDs that are interoperable globally and programmable money that controls in each jurisdiction centrally, you can't afford leakage. And so you've got way too much leakage in the system

Starting point is 00:31:04 to proceed with what they're trying to do. And Iran is, and the brick nations are a sticking point. And certainly Iran's oil, you know, feeding China, gives China greater independence. So it's a very interesting thing, right? And first, to point out as always, it's good to see that Tucker's allowing this to be discussed, right? Who knows, whether it's genuine, honest.

Starting point is 00:31:30 I've always pointed out. He's on a special path, it seems, and he's been early and calling this stuff out, but I'm still very skeptical of whether that's by design, opportunism, whatever. Question that with me too, guys, question it with everybody. That's important.

Starting point is 00:31:42 But either way, it's good to see that coming out. It also would have been good if this was coming out years ago when it was maybe we could stop it. You know, again, it's always important to point out. But with that statement, you know, the idea, what's, oops, that's interesting. You know, so what plays into a few different things, right? Like you could hear everything she just said and see it in the same lens that Hervoy is discussing it in,

Starting point is 00:32:02 that they're not necessarily, like they're adversarial, like the COVID point we make. We discussed it in the interview. During COVID, we saw that sort of lockstep agenda, but I've never been of the mind that they were necessarily, it could have been, but that they were just adhered, you know, they were on the same side. They were interested in utilizing the tools that they could, that they were utilizing to control their populations. And they were working together insofar that they gained those tools to use against their own populations, but still did not want to, you know, there's still a level of adversary illness.

Starting point is 00:32:29 They don't want to give up their sovereignty. And so today it's the same idea. You could hear what you just said and see it in the same lens that, you know, that they're just trying to maintain their ability to control it. And that's a problem for the U.S. level of control, neither of which are in your interest. But that point aside, what she said there is interesting, right? It's really about the building out these data centers to control all the information. And, you know, the whole central bank points she makes in the past, and I think in this interview too. And the idea being that Iran is, is the leak. And so you could see that as a necessary agenda for what they're trying to accomplish. Now, I think Israel has its own agendas for this. That's why there's why their needs align.

Starting point is 00:33:05 But even within that, Israel and the U.S., in their own ways, as I keep sensing, seem to be somewhat adversarial about what they will. You know, it's more of like, that's the same point. They're willing to work alongside each other as long as they can gain what they want. Now, that's not everybody. I think there are plenty of parts that at this country, this government, rather, is wildly beholden to Israel to the point to where they don't even have control. But that's not every individual. Who knows if Trump is somebody of its own accord and recognize he's being played, consider all of that.

Starting point is 00:33:30 But what she said is very interesting, both from the technocratic side of it and then maybe why this is about more than just Iran and alleged terrorism and nukes and oil and all of that. Very interesting to think about. And so lastly, just to include this point, since I saw this before we were going live, this is the whole hashtag winning kind of mindset as geopolitics and empire, Hivorhe puts out, and the era of the anonymous phone number could be ending. April 30th, yeah, buy up all those flip phone anonymous phones before you can get them before they go away. The Federal Communications Commission unanimously approved a proposal requiring telecom providers to verify customers, identities before activating service.

Starting point is 00:34:07 This is all coming through the current administration and it went in the same through Biden's. Guys, it's just where this is going. And it's not about freedom and liberty and anonymity and privacy. It's all the other, it's all the opposite of that. Different arguments, of course. So to the point of Iran and where this goes. No, trust me, I might even reach out to Catherine to have Iran about that very topic. Or maybe we can have an IMA panel about that very topic.

Starting point is 00:34:31 Because I think that's very important. Let's get into the Iran part of this. Suspected oil spill first. We'll talk about Carg Island really quickly. Suspected oil spill seen on satellite images near Iran's Karg Island export hub. Now, very quickly on this, I just, this story essentially right now is nobody knows. And people are making it into what they want, usual suspects. and what it appears to be,

Starting point is 00:34:52 could be any number of these three things that I think are, you know, one could be something that's kind of been a thing there for a long time, some under like a leakage that's been seen more than once over the years. It could be exactly what the U.S. was saying, that maybe they're having trouble capping these things off or haven't because they haven't get their oil out. And so there's a leakage that could indicate there's pressure there

Starting point is 00:35:12 from what the U.S. is doing. That's, I mean, they do have a blockade. They just have, it's been proof very clearly, you could prove for yourself, if there's been plenty of ships that have broken the blockade, either through incompetence or allowance, I don't know. And then I think the third one was, oh, what Iran is claiming is that a European ship dumped it there.

Starting point is 00:35:29 I mean, think about why that would make sense. For the U.S. to go see, they're failing and we knew it in their week or have the world turn around and say environmental. Now we have to stop Iran, get them to comply because now their environmental issue is a big deal. So think of all that as we read through this. Now, a suspected oil spill covered dozens of square miles of sea near Iran's main oil hub and Karg Island.

Starting point is 00:35:52 And the satellite imagery basically looks like this. It says the likely spill appearing on images as gray and white slick. It says, quote, the slick appears visually consistent with oil, said the researcher from conflict and environmental observatory who estimated that it was covering an area approximately 45 square miles. It says, the cause of the possible spill and the point of order are currently unknown. That was yesterday. Same thing they're saying today.

Starting point is 00:36:14 Hub for 90% of Iran's oil exports. That's Karg Island. Remember, at the beginning, Trump was top. talking about it. They were threatening it. People thought it was maybe a hype or a, you know, redirect. And they claim they did some attacks there, which were disputed. So that comes into play in a second. Now, Laura Logan comes out and says, just like Saddam Hussein when he was running out of Kuwait. Oh, so now we're just assuming that we know what's happening. That's good, good journalism. Islamic terrorist regime is dumping oil into the sea, says Martin, which is another one.

Starting point is 00:36:43 This is an account here that, let's see, founder, AI tech CEO. Yeah, part of the part of the positive change in this country, apparently. Well, the terrorist regime will clearly objective in their reporting, right? Well, let's understand this, guys. This is not something you can say right now because we don't know. That was yesterday, too. So I said, what was that again, Laura, about how stupid and naive it was to take a face value, the claims of government? Or does that only apply to Iran in your mind? And by the way, this is also false in the sense that we don't know that. What they're saying is something you can prove right now, nobody knows. Not even like people are saying things, the U.S. and their narratives.

Starting point is 00:37:18 The evidence is exactly what I just told you. Here's even Jerusalem Post. Suspected oil spill seen on the satellite images near Garg Island. This one is from yesterday. Simple point was, it was highlighted a second ago. Where was it? Iran denies. Even there, that's funny.

Starting point is 00:37:36 I'm surprised they even wrote that. Ronnie official said the claim was false and part of the enemy's psychological warfare. So that would mean they're arguing this is an agenda to create the illusion of something that they want to use to drive for psychological manipulation, like an environmental disaster or Iran is suffering or that's their lie. And it says claiming the spill scene in the area originated from an oil tanker waste that was discharged into the sea by a European tanker damaging the environment. Now that could have been just by coincidence or because they had to or got attacked, which is one of the other parts of it. There's been U.S. and Israel have bombed things around

Starting point is 00:38:10 the area that they've owned ships included that might very well be the responsible part for that. So what they're saying is that they did it by accident, by whatever. And so you could see it as an effort to do it to blame them or it could be something by a byproduct that they used anyway to you know never let a good crisis go to waste now here's new york times a large oil slick is detected off the key iranian oil depot again this is from yesterday now it says the cause of the spill was unclear and vessels and facilities have sustained damage in american and israeli attacks making them vulnerable to spills right so there's very clearly american israeli attacks have basically have caused this to happen in some places and around these areas

Starting point is 00:38:50 Now it says a rupture in an undersea pipeline connecting the hub with the oil field, a major offshore field, the absewer oil field west of Carg Island, was another possible source. The poorly maintained decades-old pipeline has suffered a number of leaks over the past several years. And that would be an issue for anybody who cares about oil leakages under the water, which is something that matters. And how much you want to bet, it suddenly matters more than ever to a Trump administration. It never cares about that anywhere else. Now, it says others speculated that oil may have been deliberately discharged into the sea, because of a lack of storage space.

Starting point is 00:39:22 That's the U.S. argument. Though there is no evidence for that, that seems to matter to me, all told, quote, the naval block aid has likely pushed Iran's oil system into a dangerous state, says the U.S. side of the argument, meaning that they're ever to block them

Starting point is 00:39:36 and not able to sell their oil has caused, which the argument goes, it's very difficult to ultimately cap these off and that that's what they argued. But they argued this for a while, saying the oil is going to start to spill and leak. And then it didn't happen when they said it did, and now this makes me sky.

Starting point is 00:39:50 That's all just, you should be skeptical. Oh, was that picture. That was weird. You know, it's a butterfly. Okay, continuing. Here is a study that goes back to 2013 that just simply points out exactly. You read more of if you want. The marine environment of the Karg Island has been exposed to oil pollution for several decades.

Starting point is 00:40:06 So this is something that happens quite frequently. And this was, oh, we read it in the other article. The point is, wait, I feel like I had one more thing in there. No, that was it right there just from the article. The poorly maintained pipeline has suffered number of leaks. over the past few several years. I feel like I didn't say that. Did I say that?

Starting point is 00:40:28 So you're right, the point was, if it's had these leaks over the years and we've seen this exact thing happened over the... It's odd that they would go, we know this is the thing. We know it shows Iran is weak. To me, it seems very clear that this is something being, most likely rather,

Starting point is 00:40:42 is something being used as opposed to it showing Iran's weakness, which that's one of the possibilities. But with all this being said, and this being something we've seen before, it seems like a... It seems like it's obviously a 50-50, a coin flip. Is it the thing they've seen before, or is an example of them being weak in dumping oil or whatever?

Starting point is 00:40:59 Or did a European ship skip by and dump it so they could make that argument? Well, with what we've seen so far from this administration, you know where I'm leaning, but you decide for yourself. Here, by the way, is Martin, the same one that Laura was sharing, saying this. Tankertrackers.com says this. This has happened multiple times over many years, but it is caused by, but it isn't caused by intentional dumping. If it was, it would be far more than the relatively few numbers of barrels it took to cause this. On average, a single barrel spreads out over 0.55 square kilometers on sea surface, depending on its viscosity.

Starting point is 00:41:34 The tankers that load at Cargile take on anywhere between 700,000, 2 million barrels at a time. There's still plenty of oil storage space available if you simply check the shadow length within each storage tank. See, those are things that most people don't even consider or know about. on the island in the satellite imagery. Finn shadow equals fairly full. Thick shadow, not as full. So basically what he's saying is that you can look for yourself if you know what you're talking about

Starting point is 00:41:59 and recognize this is not the situation they're currently in. Secondarily, this has been something that's happened before. Third, the amount that's there shows you that I'm right is what they're saying. This shows that it would have been much larger if it was what you're claiming. Then people basically dispute it. And the Andy says, you do realize that Iran also relies on those waters that they claim that they just dumped it in for other things than shipping, right? Nobody intentionally dumps large volumes of oil into the water,

Starting point is 00:42:22 especially from an oil treatment that still has plenty of storage space for oil. Now, who knows? Maybe there's something that they would justify it in their minds. But with all that being said, by the way, this account, I've seen some lately that make me now lean more towards. They're sort of on the, you know, pro-US side, I guess. But overall, I still think you should follow them. I think they do good work and they seem to be pretty objective.

Starting point is 00:42:42 But there's a few points that I stood out. But that being said, that I think speaks even more to the point. they're standing up and going, that's not true based on what I understand. So that all being said, I think it's important to realize this small segment shows you how much dishonesty we're dealing with. But still, that is a fact, by the way, whether or not this is dishonest. It's in the ultimate endpoint, them claiming they know that right now is. And I bet you it ends up being not what they claim just by where we've been going so far.

Starting point is 00:43:09 But just question this stuff, guys, because there's a lot, a lot of misinformation going around. Now, Assolrod, starting with this, this is from the, The seventh, NBC News says, just in, U.S. strikes Iran in at least two locations, a visual say, calling the attacks defensive and not a resumption of combat operations. You got to laugh at how stupid that is, right? So you're allegedly on a ceasefire and you're defensive, and it's defensive. But even if it was defensive, how would that not resume war? Why would defend, why did, defensive implies that you were attacked so that attack doesn't

Starting point is 00:43:42 begin the war? Why are you telling us that Iran attacking you wouldn't resume the war? It just doesn't, it literally makes no sense with everything they've said. But assault, Rod, makes this good point. Imagine if the Iranian military surrounded the U.S., bombed American cities in a joint attack with Russia to start a war, then imposed a blockade with a list of demands, then carried out strikes while you were discussing those demands. Would anybody call that defensive? That's literally what happened.

Starting point is 00:44:12 I mean, we'll get into the little back and forth and the tankers and whole thing pretty quickly. But, I mean, it's the same point about that meme that everyone says, look at how Iran put its country so close to these U.S. bases. You know, it's like it's so obvious that they're the ones encroaching into their sovereignty, their space, their control, everything. Imagine Iran had bases around every single space that was outside the United States. That would be obviously pointed to as a problem. So the idea is that they created an illegal war, right?

Starting point is 00:44:38 That's why I started with this. They literally have been attacking civilian cities all over the place. And on top of all that, Iran has yet to, once bomb inside the United States, thank God. What shows me, like always, that they have restraint, that they don't want to drive this to a level that will continue to escalate. Because you have to understand, guys, the U.S. and Israel can't stop telling you that Iran just wants to murder Americans and Jews and whatever else,

Starting point is 00:45:01 despite all the evidence showing you the opposite. I wanted to tell you they're just belligerent, maniac, terrorists. They just want to kill everybody. And then given the legal opening to do just that, they don't do it. You mean, realized, legally speaking, they could be bomb. directly inside the United States because the U.S. is bombing directly inside of Iran. They do not. I don't know how much more clear that can get. Now, of course, the argument is they

Starting point is 00:45:23 know they'll get killed if they do. Well, what's the difference? What's the difference of what we're seeing right now? They're literally bombing main cities. You're saying that they'll nuke them. Should they legally respond? Well, doesn't that make my argument? You mean, it's just, it's so obvious where we are. And so now the larger point is that they're just simply creating these situations, then pointing at their responses as the very thing that justifies more action. This is U.S. 101, guys, what they do. So, Sarah has this video you can watch May 7th, Trump popping bombs in Iran, striking. It was the Bandar Abbas and the Kashim Island.

Starting point is 00:45:59 There are two of the most strategic sites in the heart of the Strait of Ramos. This is now the third time the U.S. is attacked Iran in the middle of negotiations. Now, to be clear, again, like I keep telling you, and I said this is the last show, These negotiations are simply the U.S. government claiming to want to make an agreement based on Iran's 10 points and then adding their own stipulations. That's why I believe it was 14. So my point is they weren't there capitulating back and forth like Trump's keeps. This is Iran coming to the table because the Trump argues he wants to bring those points forward. And so then for the third time, they bomb them all that's happening. I don't again, don't know how much more clear this can get. So on the seventh, U.S. military strikes Kishin Port and Bandar Abbas, Fox News reporter, says. The U.S. military on Thursday carried out strikes on Iran's Kashim Port and Bandar Abbas,

Starting point is 00:46:49 citing a senior U.S. official. Again, that's why right when it happened, I'm like, well, is that what happened? The official said the strikes do not mean a restarting of the war or an end to the ceasefire. Oh, by the way, to clarify something I said earlier, so it's not confusing. I did the interview with Harvoi, the day before yesterday. I actually only got, I then ended up having to leave, like I said, that's why the timing

Starting point is 00:47:11 would not, might have make sense earlier, and I had to leave right after my interview with them, that's when this happened on the 7th, then the 8th,

Starting point is 00:47:17 I ended up playing our interview and then didn't have enough time to do a show. Just in case that was confusing earlier. So, but again, the frustration is that it's like, did this even happen?

Starting point is 00:47:25 It's crazy that we can even ask that. The U.S. official said, the strikes do not mean a restarting of the war or an end of the ceasefire. It's just the dumbest thing in the world. Like, so if, if Iran had

Starting point is 00:47:35 bombed, like genuinely taken out a military act against the United States, like genuinely bombed. You know, they would not be acting like this. The reason is because they wanted to do what they wanted to do. And they want to pretend like this is like they're at the same time getting some kind of progress towards ceasefire. Of course, because it's Friday or going towards the end of the weekend anyway. This strikes, the strikes took place on a U.S. as the U.S. awaited Iran's response to a U.S. proposal.

Starting point is 00:48:01 Think about how insane that is. And again, this is just simply them proposing their additional points. and while Iran's considering it, they get bombed. So yet again, what does that teach them? Why are we even engaging with you? And it says a proposal that would have halt fighting between the two countries, but leave the most contentious issues like the program, nuclear civilian program unresolved.

Starting point is 00:48:23 Now, this is Al Jazeera. Iran says it attacked U.S. Navy ships after they targeted Iran tanker. Now, this is also on the 7th. Now, it says the Iranian military has said it retaliated against Iranian states, excuse me, the United States Navy ships after U.S. forces targeted an oil tanker in Iran's territorial waters. Now, this is the same old story, every one of these. You're talking about a tanker that is going through an illegal blockade to go to Iranian ports. Some of them oil tankers, some of them Iranian-connected, some of them just civilian merchant, things, ships that are

Starting point is 00:48:53 just trying to conduct commerce. And because they said, we decide they can't do that because I guess the U.S. can do whatever they want. They can bomb those ships, apparently. Now, compare that to Iran showing restraint and deterrence and firing back ships, not sinking them, not attacking into turning them around. These are literal military attacks. And in many cases, they're talking about sinking these ships, guys. Like, how in the world does that make sense to anybody? And it says, Irani, they retaliated, Iranian military said it retaliated after the United States, targeted an oil tanker in their waters, a major escalation that puts further strain on the fragile truce that doesn't exist between the U.S. and Israel. Iran's central headquarters

Starting point is 00:49:36 added that Thursday that the U.S. also violated ceasefire by carrying out air strikes in civilian areas, including the ones we just told you, in cooperation with regional countries without identifying them, which means the ones they know were involved are still military targets in every legal sense. So this is all simultaneous. So the point is we still have these efforts to stop these shifts. They're doing it illegally, and they also decided to bond these locations while they were discussing new points. The American aggressor, they write, the terrorist and bandit army violated the ceasefire, targeted an Iranian oil tanker.

Starting point is 00:50:07 Now, as Trump and them go, but we're still in the ceasefire, you realize Iran has said that no longer existed, like the first day this started, the moment they initiated this because of the bombing of Lebanon, the blockade they had, ceasefire is over. Ever since then, they just pretended that's the reality. The statement also claimed, even the Lebanese part of it, that they claimed wasn't part of it,

Starting point is 00:50:25 they've been bombing Lebanon every single day. The statement also claimed that the Iranian response caused significant damage to U.S. ships, which the U.S. denies. But the Central Command, of the U.S. military said it intercepted, unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes, meaning we stopped them, they didn't hit us,

Starting point is 00:50:43 and then we defended ourselves. But see, the whole point was this was stemmed from your legal actions, from the beginning of it, and also stemmed from your legal actions from this blockade forward in what you did in the area, and says no U.S. assets were struck. Well, they literally just got caught lying about the last one. The Pentagon made it clear that what happened,

Starting point is 00:51:02 happened and the U.S. government lied about it. Sentcom added that it does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces. How, okay, explain for me how an illegal blockade bombing a ship trying to go to Iranian ports is in any way protecting American forces. You're putting American forces at risk to engage in an illegal blockade. But even if you want to say it's not illegal, how is bombing that ship to Iranian ports protecting American forces?

Starting point is 00:51:29 You're not. You're the one engaging in the attack. That's not defense. So the reality here is you're just pretending, you're putting yourself forward as some kind of defender. You're obviously the one breaking the law. The clashes represent the first military Iranian response to the U.S. blockade of the country's ports. Nah, well, it's debatable, but it says over the past few weeks, the U.S. military has seized several Iranian vessels and ordered dozens to turn around. And by the way, many have gone through.

Starting point is 00:51:52 Now, yes, I guarantee this is having an effect on their finances, just like every other illegal act they're doing against Iran to collapse their finances or their economy. but the point is that some are getting through, and that does matter in case that's more relevant in the future. Iranian semi-official news agency to seem also cited a senior source as saying that three U.S. Navy destroyers came under Iranian fire and fled towards the Gulf of Oman. The skirmishes came come amid reports that Washington and Tehran are in advanced talks to end the war.

Starting point is 00:52:19 Well, I made my points on that. Earlier this week, U.S. President Trump ordered an operation to break Iran's blockade, leading to the heightened tensions. Well, we know what happened there. We already went over this. they went up and they got fire and only turned around and they made up an entire story and then went up and bombed a bunch of fishing boats

Starting point is 00:52:33 because their children apparently. That's what we're talking about, guys, as well as the fact that it says on Monday the U.S. said it shot down seven small Iranian drones and Iran renewed its drone of missile attacks against the UAE. Well, Iran seems to be denying it last time I checked. So we should be very careful about what's going on.

Starting point is 00:52:49 But let's remember, like I said, UAE, the rest of them, they're very much a part of what they're doing and they're legally considered co-belligerence. So if they were bombing them, it would make sense legally. But my point is, regardless of that, it feels like this is something like with the ship

Starting point is 00:53:02 and the rest of it that's being used. So just consider that. Of course, Jesse Waters, US just bond Iran, straight up Hermuz erupts. Iran just swamped U.S. destroyers and started shooting. This is the kind of garbage

Starting point is 00:53:17 you get from these morons. Like, that's not even, there's so much more to that story, but that's what you get because they have agendas. America fired back hard, strikes, obliterated, not a single ship hit.

Starting point is 00:53:29 I mean, even the bottom line is they're just repeating what they're told, guys, that's not journalism. The idea that you should just repeat what your side of the government says out loud as they've been caught lying repeatedly, these are cartoons from either side of the paradigm. I know people are starting to understand that. Just don't know why anybody gives them any time. May 8th, U.S. forces strike two empty Iranian oil tankers, Central Command says. U.S. military struck two empty Iranian flags oil tankers on Friday that it's

Starting point is 00:53:57 said we're seeking to violate the ongoing U.S. blockade. Okay, an illegal blockade, and these are ships going to Iranian ports. And the world in which that's somehow a crime, it just shows you where we are. So on that point, now on the May 8th, here's what the U.S. put out. It says, SentCom has released footage showing strikes on the smoke stacks of the tankers. C-Star 3 and Sibata after the vessels entered an Iranian port in violation of the blockade. I mean, they're not even trying to hide this. They just can, I mean, they're doubling down on their own position, which I know that's what they always do. But the idea being that you are just publicly pointing out that you are, and what happened to the oil issue? Aren't we all talking about how it's oil

Starting point is 00:54:34 and everything's effective? But now you're just what we told you. I mean, think about to the beginning. When they were going, Iran's bombing these oil takers. Well, we told you, that's not what was happening. The U.S. and Israel, many later actually admitted to were bombing these right in the beginning, which then people can, that doesn't make sense. They're the ones saying there's an issue with the oil and blocking the hormones. Well, as I told you, Iran was not blocking the straight. They were restricting it to the people they were fighting. Telling you guys, there's a game here to make this thing happen, whether from some global transition or because they need you to think Iran is doing it.

Starting point is 00:55:03 And here we are again where they're the ones targeting oil. Oil infrastructure in Iran and elsewhere as well as oil tankers. And then again, within a legal blockade, there's nothing about this. This is legal. Or that is legal. According to a statement from Iran, the vessels were struck near the Jask in Hormazan, how did you say that, Hermozong province off the coast of Shufjar. UAE.

Starting point is 00:55:27 So at this point, actually, we're talking about international waters, or at least off the coast of the UAE, so they had to pass through that. So pirates, to what they are. Trump even jokes about that. Now, Iran says they hit U.S. destroyers. So you could decide for yourself.

Starting point is 00:55:41 Iran's Army, public relations, has announced that this morning on Friday, May 8, the Iran's Navy attacked three U.S. destroyers, leaving the Strait of Phrmuse with eight cruise missiles and 24 one-way drones. It says, despite U.S. denying it, one cruise missile and three drones hit the destroyers, causing fires. Well, they got caught lying about this before, and apparently there were

Starting point is 00:55:58 exact, there were reports of fires. So this is from eighth as well, from democracy now. It says Trump downplays renewed U.S. strikes on Iran as just a love tap, just insulting to our intelligence, as always, and claim ceasefire is holding. That's embarrassing. President Trump has insisted the ceasefire with Iran is holding after U.S. forces exchanged drone, missile, and gunfire with Ronnie and vessels in the Persian Gulf. U.S. Central Command said it was responding to what it called unprovoked attacks. What is that? I mean, you realize that we just went through the conversation. You're talking about the idea that they tried to go through the blockade and you fired on them. Even before that, your argument of the speedboats turned out to be a bunch of civilian

Starting point is 00:56:40 vessels. So now that becomes when you speak to people in this country who I guess you've decided are too dumb to tie their own shoes to just blindly believe what you say, that somehow it was you were, it's the same thing Israel does in every possible circumstance. Their defense. that's it. We're always defending ourselves no matter what. So just fill in the blank every single time. So when Iran said it had retaliated after U.S. ships targeted oil infrastructure, which they did, or tankers in their oil or in their water, excuse me. So they attack their ships. Iran responds, and then they call it unprovoked attacks and go further and bomb the country. That's simple. That's very easy to see. Every part of this can be proven. And it says, as spokesman for Iran's armed forces said U.S. Air Force said U.S. Air Force.

Starting point is 00:57:25 strikes hit civilian areas in southern Iran. Also, easily verifiable. I don't know how they decide, how they believe they can sidestep that. Meanwhile, I mean, one more point, by the way. And I'm not pretending for a second that they're ridiculous flyers and pamphlets they drop from the air are in any way a sidestep from their disgusting human rights violations and war crimes and genocide they're committing as Israel. Half the time they drop leaflets and then bomb five minutes later, saying it was going to be done in two hours. This has been proven many times over. or bomb places they say they're not or bomb the place they tell them to go to.

Starting point is 00:57:58 All of those have happened. Or don't drop it at all. It doesn't even matter, guys, because it's all a big psychological game. My point, though, is they're not even attempting to give some kind of cover. The U.S. isn't going, well, we drop the leaf. Let's tell them to get out of the way.

Starting point is 00:58:10 They just straight up bomb civilian locations. And you can prove it, whether Beirut or Tehran or whatever we're talking about. Beirut being in Lebanon, right? Tehran in Iran. And it goes on to say, meanwhile, air defenses were activated in Tehran where multiple explosions were reported overnight.

Starting point is 00:58:24 In a call with ABC, President Trump described him as a love tap, insisting the ceasefire was still ongoing because that's what he was, apparently. It doesn't matter that it's a legitimate violation, and Iran has said it's always been not there. Condem the Arrogachi, condemned the attacks, saying what we all know, every time a diplomatic solution is on the table, the U.S. opts for a reckless military venture. Meanwhile, the UAE says it intercepted more drones, launched from Iran.

Starting point is 00:58:49 Now, drop site news adds Iranian foreign minister, on Friday said that Iran's missile inventory and launcher capacity, in fact, and he could be lying, stands at 120% of pre-war levels. Now, frankly, I find that hard to believe. We should question that. But it's interesting to see how much we've been told, it turns out to just be provably not the case from this administration, exceeding the CIA's own assessment, which found Iran retained roughly 175 of its arsenal, despite weeks of U.S. Israeli bombardment. Iranians quote, never bowed a pressure in diplomacy and is always the victim. Aragochi wrote, accusing Washington of repeatedly choosing military strikes over diplomacy.

Starting point is 00:59:30 He says the disjointed delusional tweets no longer hold any sway or reality, over reality. The deeper they sink into folly, the more inventive they become in justifying it. I agree. Now, whether they have that many, I guess we'll find out, won't we? Of course, here's what Rubio had to say, this is just comical, guys. like embarrassing. Claiming to control an international waterway because if you normalize that, you set a precedent that's going to get repeated.

Starting point is 01:00:01 God, I paused that like five seconds ago. Anyway, international waterway. Important case you haven't heard this. Guys, it's verifiably not. I mean, this is how embarrassing this gets. At what point, I mean, they just keep screaming the same thing. You can prove that the straight that we're talking about. Now, you could, the point of what they've created, like what the U.S.

Starting point is 01:00:21 with illegal block aid and Iran extending that out to deal with what they're doing, you could argue that. Fair. But it's still in response to what they're doing, which is an illegal blockade. But the point is where this started, which is what the right response would be. So when they initiate, of course, this is after illegal bombings

Starting point is 01:00:35 and just everything the U.S. did sabotaging these diplomas, the talks when it was open before this. Then they decided to say, okay, fine. Now the toll's going to be. We're going to take control. We're going to own the security dynamic around the strait,

Starting point is 01:00:52 like other countries do around Suez, and Panama and everything else. The point, though, is when that started, it was very easy to understand that was Oman Waters and Iran water. That's it. You can look yet again and show the very definable meat. There is no international water

Starting point is 01:01:07 at the choke point of the strait. They control that. So he keeps claiming otherwise. Now, think about how desperate that must mean your position is. He knows better. He's not stupid. I don't think he's wildly intelligent,

Starting point is 01:01:19 but he's not stupid. So ask yourself why you would keep lying about that. because you don't know what else to do. Seems clear to me. A country claiming to control an international waterway, because if you normalize that, you've set a precedent that's going to get repeated in a dozen other places.

Starting point is 01:01:36 Yeah, good point, just like you guys have done, all over the world, right? So if you normalize illegal bombing countries based on defense, if you normalize invading countries based on some abstract idea of defending your country, if you normalize on and on and on, well, yeah, that's where you end up. If you normalize the complete destruction of our constitutional rights to justify some removal

Starting point is 01:01:56 of immigration, yeah, that becomes a normal precedent. On and on and on, on, on a bigger point. But then specifically to his idea. Okay, what about the international waterways that you manipulate around Venezuela? What about the ships that you've been bombing in the middle of the ocean? Does that not? Think about how insane it is for them to stand there with a straight face and make these arguments while they know they're doing the same thing.

Starting point is 01:02:16 Seems desperate to me. And if the answer is no, we don't want to normalize it, then you better have something more than just strongly worded statements. Well, isn't that embarrassing? Isn't that embarrassing? As Trump comes out yet again today and says, you better or we will over and over and over. To back it up. Here's a more fundamental problem. Iran now claims that they own that they have a right to control an international waterway.

Starting point is 01:02:44 Wrong again. They claim that they have a right to control it. What is the world going to do about that? Well, you started this. You created it. No one seems to have a real issue about it other than what you're creating because ultimately you'll end up being a passageway like all the rest. The only issue is that you don't control it.

Starting point is 01:03:00 And Iran has more influence than when you started, which is objectively a failure for you guys. That's all they really care about. Is the world going to accept that Iran now controls an international waterway? Because if the world is prepared to accept that, then be ready. Because there's like 10 other countries that are. So this is all it comes down to. It's very simple.

Starting point is 01:03:20 What did I tell you in the very beginning? They needed to make it look like Iran was the one doing this to the world. And that's what they, that's what they, I think, expected, or at least Trump was played in thinking Iran would do. Shut the straight down, put out mines and bomb everything. And they did none of those things, as far as I can tell. Restricted it, no mines, and basically responded after U.S. actions. So now, or the oil or the bomb, everything, everything they've done has been to try to convert,

Starting point is 01:03:45 contort this into that Iran is doing it to everybody. It's a terrorism of threat against the world. If you don't stop Hamas, it's coming to you. It's always the same thing. So they need the world to think that Iran is a threat. And if you don't help us with our agenda, even if it's just this shamelessly profiteering control agenda, well, then Iran will do the thing that we say they'll do.

Starting point is 01:04:04 Nobody buys this anymore. But what it will do is get normy people or average people or just the government narratives around the world to align itself. We have to stop Iran for controlling the international waterway. Well, that's why you see all these clowns on Fox News and CNN, all of them doing the same dance. Simple point, though, is just not working anymore, which is nice to see. But of course, you still get the clowns like Eric Daugherty that say everything he just said,

Starting point is 01:04:27 basically, wow, Justin, Red Light, Joe, Rubio said to the whole world. It's funny to make fun of him. It's really sad. At some point, I hope through the, as the fog lifts that will look back and go, wow, a special kind of embarrassing what these people were. Of course, my point. says ceasefire still in effect, but Iran better sign it fast. Trump threatened pain unless they sign the quick, okay?

Starting point is 01:04:53 Well, to be, they just bomb them again, but that's happened before. It's not some new. The point is he just, it's all, everything he's done has been a bunch of empty statements and empty threats and things that aren't followed through with, including, hopefully that's one of them, is to him. Oh, wait, that was the, no, it's right there. Well, I'll come to in a second, threatening nuclear tax on Iran. Once again, to me, simply, and this is what it is.

Starting point is 01:05:16 I mean, we'll come to it a second. To me, that's just his desperation going, well, fine, we'll take it even further. There's no way in which a nuclear attack in Iran would ever, ever, ever end up in the benefit to these countries. The whole world, it's already against them. But that will, that's the equivalent, I mean, it's much further in my mind, but the equivalent of the way Israel handed post October 7. That's what that would be. Like, the U.S. could have done this in a very crafty way, gone to the U.N., made their narratives, but they already knew the world was against them. But had they succeeded and actually got the world to think what they did in Iran was the big evil villain,

Starting point is 01:05:50 they probably would have succeeded in this agenda. Israel, had they gone to the UN? Because arguably in that beginning point, there was an attack on Israel. It's not what happened. We understand the reality. If you actually know what went down that day, the point is that they could have gone to the UN. They could have said, man, we were attacked. They tried to kill us.

Starting point is 01:06:06 The whole world would have been on their side forever. But, of course, instead they went full genocide. And they murdered everyone they could. and then turn around and said they hate us. It's like, okay, well, kind of hard to see that side of the story at this point. That's the kind of idea here. I doubt it'll go that far, but I'm worried Israel will push it that far. Same reasons.

Starting point is 01:06:25 Netanyahu says Iran nuclear deal, not enough without full disarmament or dismantlement. Well, again, for the hundred time, that is exactly what they offered on the 28 that you bomb them for. That's every time. It has to be relevant, guys. The Oman foreign minister made a foreign minister, excuse me, made it clear. they will give it all up if you make if you let this happen and they bombed him that night they need because Netanyahu knew if they did that there would be no narrative anymore so and now they're going well we'll make a deal but it's going to be on our terms and we are going to maintain our program

Starting point is 01:06:57 but you have to give us these things and so Netanyahu is going not going to happen yeah because he's in charge and that's what's dictating this include that for you generally to wrap up here Tim Anderson says severe humanitarian conditions on ships trapped in the street of Ramos. I'll just let you read this. The simple point is there's a lot of ships that are struggling out there. Ships that no one seems to care about, they're using them to say, oh, people are struggling. Fishermen are starving. No, you murdered those fishermen. What's happening is these boats that you are blocking out are struggling. And to read through it as a bunch of examples, but his point simply is that their situation is the consequence of U.S. aggression against Iran.

Starting point is 01:07:35 And these people, largely from Syria and Philippines and Indonesia, are simply caught in the crossfire as their supplies, their food dwindle. And this will be attempted to be used. Watch to justify and say, Iran has to stop. Are these people, they're the ones maintaining the blockade? That's because they failed so spectacularly in this agenda that there, it's like usual. They're the ones punching you going, stop hitting yourself. That's what that they do every time.

Starting point is 01:08:00 First block says, Israel believes a deal with Iran is unlikely and has told the U.S. that any return to the war has to include what is an objective war. war crime. Literally they said this strikes on Iran. Energy infrastructure, according to their local media. And again, let's be clear whether this was said recently or not, they publicly made this point numerous times. Trump has made this statement numerous times. The difference now is Israel's just basically saying this has to happen now. Pushing the U.S. towards a renewed war with Iran, focusing on destroying their energy and infrastructure, simply saying that once they do that, the regime does not fall. At least it will be paralyzed. This is just possible. This is just

Starting point is 01:08:38 publicly acknowledged genocide, war crimes. Everything about this is illegal. They don't seem to care. And here's Trump threatening nuclear war on top of that. After being told, that's where this is going, apparently. Is this the fire with Iran still on? Yeah, it is. It's a, they trifled with us today.

Starting point is 01:08:57 We blew them away. They trifled. I call that a trifle. At least that's what he was told by his Israel assets that pretend to be on his side. You know when there's no cease. You won't have to know. If there's no. ceasefire, you're not going to have to know. You just didn't have to look at one big glow coming out of Iran.

Starting point is 01:09:14 You see, that's not even subtle, guys. That's, everyone knows what that was supposed to mean. It's also very weak because no one really believes, I mean, I shouldn't say that. I would argue the people that are, my opinion is that ultimately this is not something he's going to do. He may be framed for it. I just doubt that's going to make sense from any art of the deal, whatever, but that's just belligerence. as George Galloway says, a clear threat of nuclear war. Now, of course, to finish on Lebanon, Rania Kellick points out,

Starting point is 01:09:43 there's even U.S. elements now within Congress who are openly questioning whether the U.S. has made agreement with Israel to allow targeted illegal strikes on Lebanon. If you know our coverage and what they've done, I don't even balk at that. Whether there was an agreement or not, I believe that's where we are, that Israel and the U.S. are on the same page.

Starting point is 01:10:00 Israel kills 19 people in Lebanon as the U.S. awaits reply for the deal. that's not happening. It says Iran's media said sporadic clashes between Iran and the host naval force in the street. I wasn't at the

Starting point is 01:10:12 basically attacks on Lebanon have escalated, killing 19 people. That's just as of today. Israel is now killing so many people Lebanon so regularly that the media has lost interest,

Starting point is 01:10:21 much like it did in Gaza. Here is Robert Fisk. The late great Robert Fisk dismantles the trap question of do you accept Israel's right to exist? This is a clip of him openly discussing

Starting point is 01:10:32 how he watched them bomb ambulances in Lebanon, you know, like we all paid attention and could see. He's what he has to say. We'll say, to me, sometimes in lectures I give, do accept the right of Israel to exist. Of course, it's a trap, because if you say yes, you're out of the picture, and if you say no, you're an anti-semit. My reply is quite simple. I say, show me where Israel is.

Starting point is 01:10:59 Would you draw it on a map for me? Can I see the eastern border? Is it Jerusalem? Is it Ramallah? Is it the Jordan River? We don't know where the eastern border is, and the Israelis don't know, because it's not there. And my belief, and Gideon Levy will say this, is that the right-wing Israeli governments, and even calling them right-wing now is becoming a bit modest, or under it rather, they are going to go through to the river. Now, I always say, look, I accept the right of Israel to exist in the international fronties which are accepted at the United Nations. What I do not accept is an Israel which includes Jericho or large areas of the Palestinian

Starting point is 01:11:45 West Bank. For example, if you said to me, does the United Kingdom have a right to exist, I'd say, well, you know, if you show me a map and it includes England, Scotland, Wales, we'll leave northern land out for a moment. Yes, it does have a right to exist. But if the map of the United Kingdom includes Dublin and Cork, no, it does not. Why don't we apply the same, you know, if you have a map of the United States but Texas is part of Mexico, what American would ever accept America's right to exist without Texas

Starting point is 01:12:17 or Mexico's right to exist with Texas? But only in Israel could you change the frontiers and take other people's terrorism? interesting as he put some points forward that could be, you know, Ireland, Texas, which was taken from Mexico. You know, it's like, man, it's interesting, right? But the point, though, at the end of the day is not about the disputes, it's about the larger point being made. That the idea that you can just, their right to exist, anybody has that right, really nobody, you know, however you want to look at it. But the point is that they are encroaching and taking, encroaching and taking and occupying that you, that's not the, his point was that you can simply take a certain location and say, yes, that has the,

Starting point is 01:12:57 right. But if they say, well, I'm going to take that person's tip, then they don't. And this is based on whatever view, some biblical right, it doesn't change the legal reality. And then you have to realize what that means, either for their own personal political agendas or because they're Zionist fanatics. These are people that have allowed this. And this is at the highest levels of power in the U.S. government. People like Besant and Cruz and Rubio literally sitting there telling you that these people have a God sent mission. I mean, even if you believe that, you have to understand. There are plenty of people that don't share the same religion, that don't have the same. And the idea that you couldn't say, but I said, my God said, therefore I can steal from you,

Starting point is 01:13:33 it just can't be something that we accept in this current situation. You know, and on top of that, I was just, for example, somebody playing one, yet another of a many long string of the insanity of Trump's personal spiritual leader. Now, look, I'm a Christian myself and I've gone to churches that have all kinds of, you know, tongues and whatever else. And not to dispute or rather diminish that at all. I just, I have my own personal views. not even we're getting into.

Starting point is 01:13:57 We have a right to dispute or care about or believe in whatever we want. At the end of the day, if you're going to look at them and go around, religious fanatics and then fail to look at what Israel does in Israel or look at what people like White are doing, they are in the extreme level of their own grouping. And it's just to say that they're, or look at Trump's administration and say that they're not led by religious fanatics, it just takes a special kind of willful ignorance today.

Starting point is 01:14:21 Now, speaking of willful ignorance, this is somebody who wrote, it's both scary and fascinating how propaganda works on a psychological level. I can't tell you how many people I've interacted with who swear they've seen videos of Israeli soldiers shooting children in Gaza for sport. I could literally play you a video that goes well back before Gaza, or rather October 7th where they're cheering. It was literally on the guardian as they sniped a child in the middle of the field. The point is what this argument should be applied to,

Starting point is 01:14:45 and I think that's what this is about, is the other side of the conversation. All the people can't tell you how many people have interacted with who swear they've seen, you know, know, the video, basically the claims that they're making in regard to what Hamas did or human shields or all the different things they scream about. You should question every side of every argument. The point, though, as you know is coming, this person just simply jumped in and said, I've seen at least two today. They're horrific. I will find them and post them here later. This person says 10 hours later.

Starting point is 01:15:11 Well, this person is just Charlie King or Charlie Kirk account or the name of these account anyway, says here, here's a thread and post my thread. And you've seen this thread, right? This thread goes a long time. I just pointed to it. Every one of these are doctors. most of which aren't from Palestine. They're people that are literally from everywhere in the world who went there, and every one of them,

Starting point is 01:15:29 whether breaking down, crying or whatever else, are saying, I watched them murder children. I watched them kill a doctor next to me. I watch over and over and over and over. So, of course, I commented after she didn't respond from yesterday, 19 hours later. Of course.

Starting point is 01:15:45 The point, though, is that if you haven't seen these people, I mean, in these video, on top of that, by the way, there are actual videos. I've played at least three of them where you can see what I just referenced from a long time ago, where that happened, publicly sniping a child carrying a bike or any other, I mean, these people are either dishonest

Starting point is 01:16:02 or when confronted with the reality, choose to ignore it. That's the problem where we are with where we are today. Four people killed. This is from yesterday, two of them women, eight wounded, Israel's strike on a town in Lebanon. The official toll from violence in Lebanon from Israel, as of March 2nd, has risen to at least 2,7 and 59 people, 8,500 wounded. Multiple massacres carried out across southern Lebanon so far on Friday. Never stops, it seems.

Starting point is 01:16:29 Of course, you have examples of, you know, the gods sent Israeli soldiers, defacing, busting up, religious Christian symbols, you know, a Virgin Mary, the Christ symbol, the Christ statue, you know, the actual Christ hanging from the cross, breaking its head, putting a smoking cigarette inside of the Virgin Mary. This is what they're doing, laughing about it, making fun of it, spinning. on Christians. But yeah, remind us again how much we have to care about this overlap. Israel's attacks on Christian villages. That's the side note, by the way. They're literally destroying entire Christian villages. They're literally burning down these villages, murdering people.

Starting point is 01:17:05 In fact, in many cases, telling other people in the areas they're not allowed to help these people. Over and over and over, hey, and the West Bank as well. One of the last entirely Christian villages in the West Bank is facing growing pressure is land seizures, fear of displacement. This entirely Christian village in the West Bank is facing escalation from Israel. And mark my words, if we don't do something, it'll be gone by the end of the month. And Gaza still happened. In case you didn't know, they're just literally still in there bulldozing houses that are basically bulldozed already. Not a stone upon a stone, right?

Starting point is 01:17:38 Totally not a religious fanatic country. Buildings and homes that survived previous airstrikes are now being systematically destroyed. But don't worry, they can go back to their homes beyond the yellow line as soon as we can. Yeah, how many times have been lied to about that? Christine Ammanpur, who I've criticized quite a lot in the past. I'm glad to see you're still covering this. Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi was recently released from Israeli prison, where he was held for a year without charge, without trial.

Starting point is 01:18:06 Lost around half his body weight behind bars. He said it was real hell. Oh, yeah, no accountability. Nothing will ever happen. These kind of people just get tortured, held for years. Nobody cares because, you know, they're the only democracy in the Middle East, because that all makes sense. Well, I'm leaving it there for today, guys.

Starting point is 01:18:23 I hope that was informational. I hope that informed people and that we understand the bigger picture here. I hope people can continue to break this down. Inform. Get it out there. I mean, the sad reality today is that it's just embarrassing what's happening. And the positive on it, though, is that it just don't need that much for people to see it. In my experience, it's not like it was in past manipulations.

Starting point is 01:18:44 People are really willing to look. People are open to seeing these things. It's a different time right now. Take the time. Don't put yourself in a day. different time frame and think it's all against me and no one's going to listen. And maybe, maybe the case. It's always worth trying, though.

Starting point is 01:18:56 I believe we're a different point. I think more people are willing to hear what's going on than you may realize. So get out there. Make a difference. Thank you for tuning in, guys. I love you all. As always, question everything. Come to your own conclusions.

Starting point is 01:19:09 Stay vigilant.
