The Last American Vagabond - Trump's N̶e̶w̶ B̶a̶l̶l̶r̶o̶o̶m̶ WHCD Shooting, Gaza Strategy For Lebanon & Trump Has Lost In Iran

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 you're only close. Welcome to the daily wrap-up. Sunday, April 26th, 2026, thank you for joining me today. Interesting events today to discuss.

Starting point is 00:00:47 Honestly, I was a little bit, like I refuse to talk about this today. And I'll make my point about the White House correspondence dinner and the interesting way it's taken over the conversation, but some interesting points be made within it. But what I'm expressing there is this, what I'll get into when I really get started, just this feeling that it's so interesting how even even organic random events that take place are wildly misrepresented, lied about, used. It's just it be almost by design possibly to just make sure people just stop paying attention entirely. But it's wild to see how these

Starting point is 00:01:23 things go in the partisan game today and how clumsy the conversation seem to be. But we're going to talk about that a bit and to start and some points about partisanship that relate to it. But largely what I think is far, far more important, even if that event was an attempted assassination on his life, even if that event was something they coordinated to justify the ballroom, even if it was a completely fabricated thing. I still find all of that less important than just about everything else we're talking about. And I don't mean that it's not important. I just think with what's going on in the world today, the idea of what just happened there seems less important than the ongoing genocide of an entire civilization, than the ongoing, whatever you want to deem the regime change.

Starting point is 00:02:03 global repositioning. You know, I'm going to talk about Lebanon more so today. Or just what is happening within this country while that's being pointed to. Thousands of things we could talk about that I know that every American is concerned about. So interesting timing. But I'm going to talk about in particular when we get to after the opening parts, which certainly short necessarily, but we'll get to the point about, oh, I wanted to follow up a little bit on the Southern Pauvin Law Center point, but not deeply, just some points. be made that are important follow-ups. But get to catch up on the Iran conversation a bit and let you know what's going on within

Starting point is 00:02:41 that. Some important points that you're going to want to see that I think, which is why I framed the part of the title today, which I haven't been shying away from being clear about how I think this is going. It's my opinion. And I want to be clear again right now. It's completely my opinion. But I feel right now it's objectively clear with the evidence we have that they've lost

Starting point is 00:02:58 this. And I mean, I could have said that weeks ago and I would have felt that was correct. But it was still, you know, where we're at. now with a few extra factors, it seems pretty obvious. That doesn't mean it's over. Israel is a wild card, even the United States, or any of these kind of belligerent actors, should they decide to take this to an extreme level? I mean, who wins if a nuclear bomb is used, is my point, right? You could see a world in which they may feel desperate enough to drive. I certainly hope that's not the reality we live in. But without that kind of extreme step, it's pretty,

Starting point is 00:03:29 I think it's obvious that they have pushed this to a degree that they never thought, they'd be in, that they thought this was going to be over quick because of the way Iran was supposed to respond. That didn't happen. And Trump was clearly played and given wrong information. And now they're in the midst of this trying to make it look like they didn't lose while they're clearly at a weaker position. I just think it's very important to see what that means for many factors, including where this all goes next. We'll get into all of that. And then, of course, I want to touch on Lebanon because Robert put out an excellent article today that really puts an important point on what we've been discussing. Well, Robert in his own work, myself on the show, his articles for

Starting point is 00:04:03 And the reality of what's always been going on in Lebanon, which is just, I mean, I don't even want to call it a Gaza 2.0 because I feel like in a way that diminishes what Gaza is or what Lebanon itself is dealing with. It's just a terrible ongoing, you know, genocide is not an inappropriate term. But now we're all rightly so hesitant to apply it to something because now it's been so wildly used, not even over, over unjustifiably used, but it is just an, anything becomes a very common talking point. It's, it's important that we. We check ourselves. But what you're looking at in Lebanon by every definition is a genocide.

Starting point is 00:04:38 It's a culturally focused. In this case, focusing on the Shia communities, threatening people with Christians and Druis from helping the Shia people, not because they're terrorists, but because they have a certain religious opinion. You know, like we all talk about, you know, I'll get into it and we get there. But the reality of what they're dealing with and how this is another extension of that same dynamic, whatever you want to call it, ethnic cleansing, occupation, greater Israel, globalism, all of it happening. And it's just getting such a little attention. So we're going to talk about that today. Now, I want to start with a couple points, really four things. One that I wanted

Starting point is 00:05:13 to follow up on, because somebody asked me about this. We've been talking about the updates on the website for a while. And essentially what seemed confusing to some, as I said, it was already kind of not, it's not finished. There's still some things we have to do. But ultimately, we're done with the major steps we were taking. And as I said, I was expecting it to be because my guy did a fantastic job and it basically looks exactly the same. And so people were wondering what actually happened. And I suddenly explained a little better. Basically, the way it was positioned before because of mistakes of previous people that I unfortunately had to work, well, worked with, but looking back, not a good person to work with. And I mean, in regard to like a back,

Starting point is 00:05:49 you guys don't know, somebody in the background that was working on the website and did a lot of things that caused a lot of mistakes like time bomb mistakes. I don't even think deliberate, just that as these things progressed, it became harder and harder to deal with. So we've been trying to deal with it in the background while continuing to work. And ultimately, my plan and what he just said in the beginning was that it's likely going to end up where we have to make a lot of changes. We'll try to make it look the best we can, as close as we can, but we're going to have to use a new theme and it will look different and so on. And so that's what I kind of prepared you guys for. And then ultimately he did an amazing job and was able to basically, so we're in a new location where we have the URL is still the same, obviously, but it is kind of rebuilt and repositioned.

Starting point is 00:06:29 but he did such a good job that it's basically exactly the same. I'm sure if you could notice a few different things here and there, but that's just to help explain for people that were confused about what I said there. That's a good thing here, which means we are better, I would, much more secure. We dealt with some of the, oh, and that leads to the next point, by the way. But we talked about,

Starting point is 00:06:47 we've already addressed some of the things we're dealing with in the background. James Corbett and I discussed the give, send go point, capture issue is something that a lot of people have been discussing. Interestingly enough, and I knew this was an issue, but I didn't realize how bad it was until he just basically corrected it. I'm sorry out there for those that have been trying to reach out through the contact form. And trust me, I've heard you guys tell me why it's not working. And I'm not the expert in the background side of this.

Starting point is 00:07:14 And so they finally get someone to help me with it. Turns out most of you who've been trying to reach out have been being denied, turned away. And many of you not even being aware of that, in fact. Who's to say whether that's yet another thing that's been deliberately done? I'm not going to pretend I know that. just a glitch, probably know. But either way, the point is that apparently we were getting hundreds and hundreds of things

Starting point is 00:07:33 coming through month to month, and then over the last about year, it went down to like 30. And even then, I don't even know if half the time we're getting them. So apologize to everybody who's been trying to reach out through the website. We're going to be dealing with that up the next couple of days because you just noticed that. We'll probably get a new contact forum set up and make sure

Starting point is 00:07:49 it's secure, the whole thing. So sorry for those who are trying to reach out. We have our line here in the office if you'd like to connect. But again, it's you know, whether we get back to everybody or not is always up in the air because of how busy we are. But outside of that, one last thing I want to start with, that somebody rightly so pointed out in the chat. We've talked about this more than once. And I don't want to, it's not a right or wrong kind of thing in my mind. Like we talked about with the IMA. I should actually grab that show. And this has to, and we're going to be doing

Starting point is 00:08:15 another one coming up soon. One note, actually, as I'm speaking, I'm trying to slow my, just my talk down. Everyone asked me that. Trying. I'm sure I'll forget about it in 20 seconds. But anyway, just keep saying it out loud, sorry, remember. The use of even just grok, like an AI bot, but in this case specifically the use of AI images. Now, it's a really important conversation. I don't want to have it all right now because we will have more of those and it's worth getting into in-depth.

Starting point is 00:08:45 I just want to make a note about it. But it's something we've talked about, right, where this is a difficult path for everybody. And in the conversation we had on the IMA panel, which was, you know, do you use this for research, for example? And it was split even in our conversations and realize all of us are very on guard to the the technocratic direction and all the different, you know, surveillance and all of that, all of us, every one of us. And some of them, and I am of the mind that we shouldn't be using it to research. Not necessarily shouldn't, but more so if you do, which is what I said in the show, make sure that you're not using that as the point.

Starting point is 00:09:16 It's a starting point. And then you verify it elsewhere because it can be wrong, it can be dishonest. But the point being is that it's a, it's a difficult choice for something. people because some of us argued that you should because it'll help you get better research and go faster, whatever. So about the AI image part of it. Because we're going to have another conversation about this when it comes to specifically research and even like impersonation. You know, Whitney's dealing with that. Apparently Cathodont and Fitz is dealing with that. And I think all of this is the same conversation. But the AI images thing is interesting,

Starting point is 00:09:46 right? Because you know we've been dealing with incredible. I haven't really been telling you guys lately. We are even still getting more copyright lawsuits. And I'm talking about unjustified lawsuits, things that are images that I can prove to you are creative commons, for example, or images that in one case I literally made myself, like not using AI, but before where it was, you know, more of a cropping of different things put together. And a third option, which included in this point, is about fair use. Where as a journalist, or even just an individual deciding to cover a new story, which therefore makes you a journalist, it's not some kind of an lot of Supreme Court has always stood by that, which is that you can use an image, for example,

Starting point is 00:10:25 like today. I'm going to make a point about that today with the image we're using from Trump in his tucks speaking about the event. It's called fair use. You're allowed to use imagery like this about an event when you're covering something from a journalistic perspective if it has to do with the event. So in this case, Trump's speaking about being shot. And I guess you could argue that might be a little bit of a stretch and more so an image of the actual event while it happened. Right. But that's the idea. It's called fair use and you're allowed to use images that way. We got sued for using images like that. Now, I had to spend, I mean, it's well over $50,000. We've talked about this a lot.

Starting point is 00:10:56 For those that don't know about it, it's shows where we went in depth about this. And I had to defend myself. And we ultimately won. I mean, that's how this ultimately ended up, where they spent 100, or I think more so close to tens of thousands of dollars to be fair, probably more than that, in order to push back back and get me to spend money. And ultimately, I had to spend money to fight for them to lose money and back away. Now, to me, that's a loss.

Starting point is 00:11:20 I lost way more money than I could. possibly lose. They spent tons of money and didn't get what they wanted, but who knows if the point was just to make me spend money. All that's to say is that I had to fight through this multiple times and it's still happening. So it's worth considering whether using something like an image creator is an easy way to sidestep that problem. Now, in all and saying all of that, I understand why it's a concern. I agree that this is a problem, whether it's AI, anything, art, imagery. And I've talked about this a lot. But this is again the point, what I, this is wanted to make to start is, is it something that we have to remember.

Starting point is 00:11:53 Is it, it's a, you know, for my perspective on this, I looked at it and I figured, okay, well, I don't want to support Grock or any of these different things. However, this is an interesting use that will help me fight this off. And I don't see why that's different than something else. And so I rationalize it. That's what it's called. I don't disagree with the logic I came to. I feel like that's not the biggest issue, but fair enough, it's a rationalization.

Starting point is 00:12:13 Sort of like, and what I said to the person in the chat was, well, you know, I'm sure that there's a hundred things that I do in my life that I have, or rather don't do. that I have forsaken because I feel like it's a, you know, stow shall not cross that they probably do in their life. You know, we all have these different points. Maybe I don't use Amazon and you do. Maybe I choose not to drive because I use the guy. Or technologically, there's all these different things we do.

Starting point is 00:12:34 Some people I used to fight with back in the day, we're all about the fighting the COVID things, but they said, well, I like my Starbucks, so I'm going to keep using that, which I thought was crazy, right? But it's everyone's personal choice. So when you go down these paths about these things, we have our opinions. And I appreciate that person expressing it and you know mine.

Starting point is 00:12:50 But it should not be. about you imposing those on somebody else. Right? I think that's important. And I'm sure people will push back on that like I'm trying to rationalize my choice. I'm not. I just want to make it clear that I think this as this gets more difficult. And I'm not going to get too much into technocracy today, but as this inevitably, I hope not, but it seems to be where this goes regardless, gets harder and harder to resist. It's like the internet. Imagine drawing that line before when this first started and saying that you start using the internet, you are the problem. And you know what? Maybe you were right. Maybe that was the right stance to take then. But the point,

Starting point is 00:13:20 was it got clear that this is where we are and this is the only tool you can use to fight back. I really don't want to be taken as to try rationalizing just falling into the system. I am leaning the other direction. But I think it's important to think about all this, right? About whether or not we're at a point where these things need to be broken down into individual choices. And, you know, ultimately like I, like for example, last point, I said I could talk about this forever. I find this fascinating. And we will have another panel about this.

Starting point is 00:13:48 There's people in the IMA, like I said, who are using these things to research. church. And you can see for yourself how much, you know, quicker, how much you can identify things quite, but it's wrong half the time. And they will argue that they'll use that benefit, but still check it. Now, are they wrong to do that? Some people would argue, yes, well, you're using rock and you're helping train it. Those are fair arguments. But do they have a benefit? Are they gaining more and are getting more workout that's hurting the system? Because they're using it, you know, you for an individual choice, need to rationalize all these things. And, and, but feel free to speak your mind, right? But consider other people's perspectives. It should never

Starting point is 00:14:20 Very few things in life are all or nothing, right? And that's where a lot of the things tend to go. And I think personally, the system will use that kind of all or nothing mentality to divide us. And I think that was it on that. Yeah, that was ultimately, yeah. So sorry for the long opening. I just thought those things are important. And I do think that because that person expressed that, I wanted to make sure we address that.

Starting point is 00:14:40 Because I've been using, I don't know, more often than not lately, some of these different AI imagery. And not all of them, by the way, are things that are made by me. There's images that I'm seeing circulate. And so at that point, then it's like, well, you know, it's another. kind of variation of the conversation. So just think about it. I think these are important conversations. So I want to start today with the ballroom discussion because that overlaps to me with

Starting point is 00:15:02 the idea of the partisan point. And then from there, we can get into the rest of what we're going to talk about today. Now, you guys saw all this. And I find this really, you know, again, I'll start with this. So just, I just, I just, just, Solomon Ahmed, false flag to blame Iran? Like, this is just everybody instantly questioning these things, which I want to argue was a very good thing. Now, it's not good to just assume ever. It is a false flag because we know it works for Trump. That's stupidity, just like saying we know it's not no matter what. Both those opinions

Starting point is 00:15:30 are the same kind of, well, ignorance, willful or not. To consider, to say, could this be something is always the right question. But in the mainstream and even when the mainstream alternative media, of course, when it's the other way, like right now they're all attacking liberals for telling us the stage, even though they'll do that when Trump blinks too many times, or rather or Biden blinks too many times. You know, the point is it's just perfectly hypocritical, but that it needs to be something we always ask. But the system will create a feeling that you're being ridiculous.

Starting point is 00:16:00 It's never ridiculous to ask a question, right? If you want to ask whether space aliens came down and made this all happen, yeah, that seems like a wildly unlikely thing to ask. But shouldn't you just go, well, okay, no, right? But ask the question every time. Silly example, but the point is you should always ask is this going on? And look for evidence. Don't spend the rest of your life looking for evidence if it is not there, but look, right?

Starting point is 00:16:24 So in this point, this, when I heard this the other day yesterday, I think, when it happened, and I ultimately thought, you know, this story itself, like I briefly said, it's frustrating how these things, even if it just randomly happened, some lunatic goes in them with a gun, decides to do something, right? That happens. Is this the important story over everything else? Okay, oh, scary. People got, you know, wives at risk.

Starting point is 00:16:47 The president almost got assassinated. Those are a big deal, right? Those are stories. Cover it, talk about it. Then it should be over, though, right? He's got, he's arrested or, you know, the point is ultimately they got him. They's arrested, okay. And so now the story maybe will end up being, you know, did he get charged?

Starting point is 00:17:02 Is he going to be arrested? But that's not what happens today. The story goes on forever. It's a day after day after day. And right now already, oh my God, look at this guy connects with the Southern Poverty Law Center or the group that he knows and this guy. And it's all, you know, and they're just stringing together everything. And this is exactly what they pretend,

Starting point is 00:17:19 we do when in reality it's literally the corporate media and the mainstream alternative media to do this every single time now there are people within the independent media who believe they're honest who do do that you know but it's it's important to recognize the use of these things even if they're not even if they are organic first of all that's funny this guy points out come bursting out with night vision goggles and here i'll let you just watch the clip real quick which is by the way weird and now to be clear i'm not going to go into this extremely in depth and go through every shot and every opinion and every conversation. I frankly find this to be less important, like I said, than almost everything else.

Starting point is 00:17:58 Even if this is exactly what you think of this. I will give you some points to look into. Unless this, you know, like I said in the past discussions, unless this spins it something much larger, I doubt this will be something I continue to focus on. But even if it is some kind of a conspiratorial thing, right? Like, oh, it turns out this and we will talk about the ballroom, because that's the one thing that seems to be the interesting correlation. But my point is that this whole thing or the timing of it, if you haven't seen it,

Starting point is 00:18:24 is an oddly time where there's a whole, there's a whole period where this, and the idea that he's taken to the ground, like afterward, like what everyone's pointed out is this feels very odd, just like the other ones we've been seeing. And that could just be incompetence. It's worse considering that because I don't think that's something

Starting point is 00:18:39 that should be dismissed. The incompetence level is off the charts with this, with our entire government left and right right now. But getting into it a bit. So funny, just on the 13th. And I'm only showing you this because, well, there's two reasons. Maybe this guy actually knew something. Or maybe.

Starting point is 00:18:54 because there's billions of people and everyone everywhere is always doing this kind of thing, right? I mean, everywhere, I'm not, shouldn't be as hyperbolic. But because it's very popular today, I mean, podcasting and conspiracy theory and, you know, everything. It's basically become mainstream, right? So now people, and this was like this before to a degree too, right, where somebody goes, I think this or I think that, or maybe they just got lucky.

Starting point is 00:19:16 The point is, these things tend to be inverted into something if they want them to be. So on the 13th, this person says Trump is going to go for staged assassination attempt again. blame it on Iran. I will put a 25% chance on this play. Trump has lost all global respect such that he had. Allies and enemies alike laughing at him. Frankly, I agree with most of that. I think that's the obvious objective reality the world can see. But the point is, is his person aware that something was going to happen? Or is he just, is he genuinely correct about the fact that he called that they would fake something? Or did he just guess that something at all would happen? And this is what we think is what happened. That's worth thinking about. this prediction is wild, they said 14 hours ago. And he responds by saying two for two. And he posted this on the 12th of June, July, excuse me, 2024. Trump cannot help himself.

Starting point is 00:20:04 I predict some sort of damastery from him in the next 72 hours. He simply cannot stand that everybody is focusing 100% of Biden regardless of it being so negative. You know, so the point is you can see, I mean, I don't think it's that hard to predict that something like this in the future may end up happening, that you may disagree with that because I feel like a lot of this stuff is, you know, and I think that's where this person's coming from. I don't think this person was like, I actually believe it's going to happen more so kind of a joking prediction based on the fact that we live in a cartoon. You can read it for how you want. But either way, kind of interesting, isn't it? And it also could just be meaningless.

Starting point is 00:20:38 It could be something randomly guessed at and got it right. Just want to make that point. Because before we get to the Google searches and the, you know, Google trends, it's just becoming this obnoxious thing every time, even though there is some merit to it. It gets manipulated about every single thing that ever happens. And that's the partisan team sports. that's the mainstream alternative media doing that. Now, this is interesting to me. What honestly, one of the things that, aside from all the rest of it, I looked at this and I said, well, that's just interesting, I'm willing to bet like just glancing at this, one of those things is probably false without even reading it because that's what the situation is. But as always,

Starting point is 00:21:12 I do my due diligence because that's what we should, even for a picture on Twitter. And what's interesting about this is this is, in fact, what actually happened. And I find that really hard to ignore. So she just simply posts this out. And this is Caroline, stout. So here's the facts. Judge rules Trump cannot build ballroom for non-security reasons without congressional approval. True. Trump attends White House correspondent's dinner for the first time as POTUS. Caroline Leavitt says shots will be fired in pre-dinner interview. Gunman somehow gets major weapon into building and through security, shots are fired and is then taken into custody. Trump immediately holds press conference and says this is why we need his ballroom. You come to your own

Starting point is 00:21:51 conclusions. I don't even appreciate the way that's presented. Those are all facts. And you can decide what you think about it. So let's go through that. So this is from the 31st of March. Judge Rules White House ballroom construction must halt until Congress okays it. Now, for a quick background, I mean, the interesting part about the ballroom, there's been a lot of conversation, right? Is this really a ballroom? Is it like a underground bunker dynamic? And there's been a lot of information that actually seems to make sense there. But this is much more of a secure, and interesting that now becomes this overlap with the security. And as the point with just a broad way, the question is what are they actually doing there?

Starting point is 00:22:26 On top of the fact that they're probably making, you know, they need lumber, for example, that cost $10,000, and it turns out they on, you know, like every government history, every administration going back in history, and it looks like it cost them $100,000. Funny how it works out. Where did the $90,000 go?

Starting point is 00:22:44 Probably to Israel or probably do Iran War or whatever else they're profiteering and extorting money from you for. Just be clear. That's left and right. My whole, my entire life. There's all those old jokes about toilet seats and hammer.

Starting point is 00:22:56 I mean, guys, they have always been doing this, right? This is black budget stuff. Whether that's what this is or not for the ballroom. My point is the government does that. In this case, what were they really doing? I doubt it was just a normal ballroom, right? So this point is that the judge says they have to wait. Now it says, Leon says, however, that he will delay,

Starting point is 00:23:13 this is in regard to, what was his name again, the full way here, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon. He ruled that he said, however, that they will delay the enforcement of stopping them. of the injunction for 14 days because he expects the administration to appeal immediately. He also said he would allow construction to continue, quote, for the safety and security of the White House, a clear reference to the secure bunker being constructed under the building. Now, that's one way.

Starting point is 00:23:39 Now, that's just point makes it clear that they would allow it to continue under the guise of safety and security. But this adds a little more in this article here, where, and this one is from local daily news, Anchorage says judge rules construction of Trump's ballroom cannot proceed without okay from Congress. This is also March 31st. As the judge ruled, any construction work that's necessary to ensure the safety and security of the White House is in fact exempt from the scope of the injunction. Now, that's much more important. Leon said the reviewed material that the government privately submitted to him before concluding that halting construction wouldn't jeopardize natural security.

Starting point is 00:24:13 So back to your point, indeed, judges literally ruled explicitly that they could, rather they cannot for non-security reasons, but rather they can keep building it even though there's a injunction if it's for security reasons. So again, I mean, I find that pretty, you know, the conspiracy hair is stand up on you, okay, that's interesting, right?

Starting point is 00:24:35 Suddenly there's a connection here to, for this point that everyone's talking about. What I find fascinating is that usually the thing people point to is the thing that has the least evidence around it. Now, this isn't verifiable that this is exactly what they did. These points could exist independently, that just happened to connect to this and it's not by design. Something tells me that's not the case.

Starting point is 00:24:57 Okay. And then what you get is everybody everywhere screaming about the ballroom. Now, that in and of itself could be because Trump came up and said, ballroom. And all of these people, every one of them in this, we should just laugh here. Every one of these people, well, just the thing he said, well, maybe say for Tom Fit. Just the thing Trump said is what we think the thing today. I support the current thing.

Starting point is 00:25:19 Just like the left. Like exactly. Partisans are the same thing. Prove me wrong. MAGA counts tweet in unison about the need for the ballroom. Now why? Why would that be such an important thing off the heels of that? Maybe just because Trump said, hey, I can use this to get what I want. Right?

Starting point is 00:25:35 That's possible, right? I'm just trying to be clear about the objective. It could just be that. I've still sensed there's something more. Acting AG comes out. This is today and says it's time to build the ballroom. It's weird, right? There is a weird focus on this on the heels of

Starting point is 00:25:50 this event. And it simply says, there was another attempt on president's life. This time the shooter targeted the president, the Hilton, and we'll get into the security and all that too. Suitable for large gatherings. Yesterday, the assassination attempt the president, which, by the way, I'll get into the manifesto and all that. I just think we should question all this always.

Starting point is 00:26:07 The manifesto, the person, the whole thing, the left, right, dynamic. But it says that the White House ballroom is essentially for the safety and security of the president. Well, there you go. Suddenly, he's got the justification that allows him to ignore the legal, the the injunction. What do you know? And here's, here's security. Adam's pointing this out. And you can just watch if you want it does appear to be lax. That's people pointing out, unless this is the new cutback Trump's imposed on this, this is not typical security for an event where the president,

Starting point is 00:26:36 the VP and the cabinet are all present, which you understand what that means. That is a continuity of government kind of situation. It's actually, in my opinion, rare that they have them all in the same place ever, because that presents an issue where they could be taken out together and then you basically wipe out the entirety of the government. And yeah, it does, it seemed pretty lax. That's, that's an objectively fair point that's been pretty widely discussed. Now you have this. Oh, and this, I'm just pretty much, by the way, just going off her thing here, because I want to show you the, the Caroline Leavitt did say this.

Starting point is 00:27:07 The security was very lax. Now, here is secure, this, very strange. Now, the sentiment is a common sentiment. I mean, somewhat common. It's used to discuss, you know, you know, you know, like shot over the bow kind of a thing but the timing of it seems I mean borderline impossible but I mean just actually didn't even say it like that but here's what she actually said but is he not he is ready to rumble I will tell you this speech tonight will be classic Donald J. Trump

Starting point is 00:27:37 it'll be funny it'll be entertaining there will be some shots fired tonight in the road so everyone should tune in it's going to be really great I'm looking forward to hearing it I love it all and you wrote most of it you said take credit. In true Donald Trump fashion, the man puts his pen to the paper himself. So it's a lot of... That's funny. Yeah. Oops. You know what I just a quick note. What I sense from that is that that's what she said off the air. Whoa, you can't. I didn't say, no, Trump did everything. It's just perfect. How much you want to bet? That's what actually just happened right there,

Starting point is 00:28:09 and she's going to get it talking to. But there will be some shots fired. White House Caroline leave it, joke before the gun fired. That's just crazy to me. Coincidence has happened, but isn't it odd how when these things, these events go down, there's just one after another that seems hard to explain,

Starting point is 00:28:23 which always certainly could be the case. These things can happen. But how unlikely one after another? Here? Oh, that's just the same. here is some examples. Now, like I said, I'm going very, very surface on this. This, I honestly don't think we should be wasting

Starting point is 00:28:42 as much time as what seems to be focused on by the entire political apparatus on this conversation. And that, again, if you think, if the story is that Trump just got shot at, that's a big deal because he's a president. But then it should, that story should be over. He's got, they got him. Story's over.

Starting point is 00:28:59 Okay, you know, and it becomes doing everything you can to tie back in something like very loomer style. well her last name ends in a D and this guy's house starts in the D and that you know I just did that terribly but you know some dumb thing where and the first letter of his name is at the street level and he's like I mean I'm even kind of jet that's ridiculous

Starting point is 00:29:17 but you know basic stuff that they do where it becomes this person knows that person by association therefore they're all guilty you know and and you know maybe mean something but that's the kind of stuff you get on the heels of this basically for the point of going he is the leftee we knew it the left is killing everybody which is what they're

Starting point is 00:29:34 all doing. Shipwreck points out, first of all, who's taking these live action photos? That's a very good question. Now, to play devil's advocate, right, to be objective, we are in the midst of the performative theater administration, guys. Everybody sees that even those that don't want to admit it. When you can prove that you got Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, like in the midst of an investigation, and this is what their team said. They only wanted to talk about how they were going to play out the Twitter conversation the next day. Think about how embarrassing that is. These people either know they're not in charge or don't understand that they're supposed

Starting point is 00:30:10 to be doing something different because Trump clearly cares only about the presentation. Well, you know, with him, it's very much about the outcome too, but he demands, you know, it's funny how he definitely wants you to care about the, the perception at almost the expense of the outcome, but then blames you for the outcome anyway, like forces you to take actions that will make the outcome bad and then blames you for the outcome. What a great leader. But in this case, that they would be doing something like this or have like a guy that his job is literally to be there taking pictures of anything that happens because they're all

Starting point is 00:30:42 about social media today. And everything seems to be. But more than ever with this administration. But I do, regardless of that possibility, find this to be unlikely. Second, how does someone get a gun through all the security that a correspondent center should have? I find that to be one of the easy. I mean, that's insane.

Starting point is 00:31:00 Now, as this develops and we find out more about what type of this and how that work, and even then, how do we take them at face value? The very people who then relay that information to you have demonstrated an unprecedented level of willingness to lie to you about everything, about where and how and who's involved, about who's a terrorist and who did what. I mean, everything from Cash Patel to the Donald Trump position of the White House, the president. We've seen it. So when these people then relate to you the details, I don't know why we take it at face value. I'm not going to ignore it, but we need to be questioned. You know, guess what? Like we always should have been.

Starting point is 00:31:38 Questioning every single detail, never accepting one thing at face value. David Ike points out, and this, by the way, is the one making fun of the cash rate account, says Trump and Cash Patel already released the footage of the shooter. And we can't even get footage of Charlie Kirk's assassination or Epstein suicide. How funny is that? Now, I honestly think that's a very good point. Now, it doesn't mean it has to prove one's fake and one's not, but what it has to, I think, show you is that they want you to see this and where they didn't want you to see that.

Starting point is 00:32:09 I don't even think that's debatable, but sure, I can't know that for sure. But think about that, right? So you haven't gotten, I mean, what about Tyler Robinson? It's incredible. We don't have anything on some of these discussions for, I think, very obvious reasons. And this is instantaneous. And David Ike says that's the difference between what you want to cover up and what you want people to see for a political agenda. That is so transparent, it's pathetic.

Starting point is 00:32:34 Now, even that statement alone or take an agree, right, that that still could mean that it's something that organically happened, but and they just want you to use it. They want you to see it. It seems there's more to it than that. Here's an interesting clip. This is a little low, so I won't speak up. Turn your volume up. basically somebody filming their TV where somebody is speaking to Fox News. And, you know, look, they do have things that get disconnected.

Starting point is 00:33:02 That can happen. Less likely, I argue today with their entire business being around real-time correspondence, but the idea is that somebody's in the midst of talking about how they were warned and they get cut off. Very, very telling, he turns out to. I'm trying to catch an Uber, trying to get away transport. anywhere. It takes a very long time. So I don't know how we're going to get to the White House. I'm sure there are people that are efforting that. But of course, there are people. There are media outlets that have multiple reporters. So I don't think any of us are going to be able to make it, but somebody else will get there. I want to just quickly tell you, I was sitting next to Caroline Levitt, the press secretary's husband. He was one of our guests. He was seated right next to me. And, you know, right as the dinner was starting, you know, the national anthem happened. And then, he kind of leaned over and said, you know, I watched you on TV.

Starting point is 00:33:59 You're a great job. You need to be very safe. And he was very serious when he said that to me. And he kind of looked around the room and he said, you know, there are some. Think about that. That's it. Sounds like we lost Aisha's phone there. I mean, come on.

Starting point is 00:34:20 You know, like, okay. So you could have, you could have, oh, well, they just meant, you know, because liberals are crazy. or whatever someone's already tried to make that into. But you can clearly see. So he starts by saying that, you know, there was concern and then goes into saying it's leave its husband who says, be safe. And it goes and it going to say there's been people that have,

Starting point is 00:34:41 I'm telling you guys, that that's strange to me. But just to be clear, obviously could just be a random coincidence, which I don't always need to make that clear. But I always will because that's important. But strange, right? Here. Wall Street apes.

Starting point is 00:34:59 Wow! Red light! That's how you know it's important, guys, because it's got the red light. It says Iran was searching for the new Donald Trump assassin's name. Cole Thomas Allen this morning

Starting point is 00:35:08 before the assassination attempt. I mean, look, let's just even say, I've made these points in the past about some correlation, but never have I argued this was somehow profoundly important because it's simply, first of all, it's Google.

Starting point is 00:35:20 Second, as I've told you, which is a fair point, it's not necessarily how the trends is meant to be used. Now, I've seen examples where they try to use that, point to deny that there is a correlation, but in any conversation, it's not as specific as it is. I made that point last time, even though I was using it to point out that I thought there was

Starting point is 00:35:37 relevance there. The point, if you're going to tell me that this, the insinuation is what? Clearly that somehow the Iran's connected, Iran's connected or Israel's connected because it was searched there. Okay, think it through. What does that mean? So you're telling me that that means Iran wants to kill the president. And then their intelligence decided to sit down and Google the name of the person they're using to kill him just on a regular computer and was like, that'll work. Let's just double check his name real quick on Google. Let's just make sure that works out.

Starting point is 00:36:08 I mean, come on, guys, unless you want to just stupidly pretend like they're that ineffectual and bad at their jaw or like, they're not. They're very technologically advanced. They're fair, you know, or in any other context. It doesn't make any sense, while certainly possible. So he says, this is a cover up. Google has scrub this down. data, you know, okay?

Starting point is 00:36:28 Well, what is it? Anyway, consider that this very well may have been Iran searching the name of the person they used to kill him and then Google covered it up for them because they accidentally used Google to search the name. You know, again, I can't even say that without, it's embarrassing, guys. But as, as Kanoa, the great says, guys, this is stupid. Please stop wasting everybody's time. He says, before all the Google trends space cadets go off and he said this on the 25th.

Starting point is 00:36:53 So before all them were screaming about this. And he says, here's Cole Thomas Allen spiking over the last week in Switzerland, Taiwan, China, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Gibraltar, Madova, South Korea. Oh, okay. And maybe that all means something. Or maybe what it shows you is that this is being misrepresented and we don't even fully wrap our minds around what this demonstrates. And maybe someone who should make a deeper point on what this actually looks like.

Starting point is 00:37:18 But if it's spiking all over, anyway, you get the point. And these people will use this to simply argue around, just try to. kill Trump, which, by the way, they're already doing. You have the examples of the Lumer types out there trying to pretend that Southern Poverty Law Center was somehow involved with this somehow because that story is on people's minds and that's just how lazy they are or any number of things with basically no evidence. So, and, you know, because there's so little evidence, what you get is the new media jumping out and going, the left did it and we know it. They're evil murderers because the left. Okay, well, let's talk about the manifesto and what they wrote, which

Starting point is 00:37:55 happens to show nothing like that, but he could have lied. And I'm not, you know, think about how silly it is for these people to jump into the story and go, they, we knew it because the thing happened and because they said. And these are the people that are screaming that we're, you know, that the, making fun of the left for doing the same thing, acting like they're the new media in the room and your entire case is built on the idea. Like, think about this. You're telling me they couldn't have just lied about that, right?

Starting point is 00:38:22 I mean, the idea that, okay, so the manifesto's out and we're going to, assume that's not true because he must be a left because we wouldn't do that or or the reverse, right? You know, the point is that simply this could have been a construct created by the government, which is something we'll always consider if it's the other side of the paradigm or they will. It could have been something that was completely apolitical and the guy just lost his mind. It could have been somebody who was on the other side of what you think.

Starting point is 00:38:45 I mean, and yet they just scream this. I don't know. I'm forgetting all the people's names, but any of them. Matt from, you know, what's his name? Walsh is always the one, you know, the left, there's the lunatic maniacs, and still to this very day, we'll argue that the left were Tyler Robinson and the left, even though, as I've shown you many times, that's never definitively been shown. There's points on both sides of that discussion, right? You'll choose to say, I could say, well, his family are all Republicans,

Starting point is 00:39:12 therefore we know. I wouldn't say that because that's stupid. Just like they'll say, we know he's a Democrat because he lived with a trans person or whatever the conversation is. You know, by that logic, because I joke every time, I guess that makes Alex Jones. a lefty. The point here. The left is evil and violent in the party of murder. No, that's just the U.S. government, and you guys are absolutely gaslighting us and supporting the U.S. government by pretending that the U.S. government is on your side while fighting the U.S. government. But how do we know it's left? Well, let's talk about the manifesto point and the effort to already tell us this person hates Christians, even though that's the opposite of what it actually shows. Molly

Starting point is 00:39:49 Plufkens put this out. You can read this from New York Post and whatever else already put it out, but excerpts from Cole Allen's manifesto sent to family members 10 minutes before the incident, which weirdly enough inside of this seems to discuss the shooters ranting about stunning lack of security. But it was done beforehand, apparently, or whatever. I mean, you know, and this is my point. Maybe somebody fake that part of it. Maybe the manifesto entirely was made up, which, by the way, we've seen before.

Starting point is 00:40:16 Like, this is why I'm just not even tired of getting into this. I'm not even interested in wasting time about trying to dive through this. FBI manufacturer manifesto. I'm kind of half joking. But my point, though, is like, then we dive through all these clues. And at the end of the day, why is that what we should be doing right now? But here's what it says, turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I'm not the person raped in a detention camp.

Starting point is 00:40:40 I'm not the fisherman executed without trial. Oh, he must be a lefty because he doesn't sport Trump. Well, so do a lot of Republicans who are screaming about why Trump's killing fishermen or why Israel's raping people in detention camps. you realize that's part nonpartisan, but this is what they're doing. I'm not a school kid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Right. So he's calling out Epstein. He must be a lefty. You mean aside from all the Republicans who are screaming about that, turning the other cheek when somebody else is oppressed is not Christian behavior and his complicity in the oppressive crimes.

Starting point is 00:41:13 He's literally defending Christianity. And says administration officials, they are targets, prioritized from highest ranking to lowest. So he's a criminal. what he actually said and you want to argue by saying those things out loud, it makes you a criminal. I do not. Well, then sure. He said, kill all the bad people in government. Okay, fair enough. You can make him a criminal after the fact. But how do we know we actually said that? And how do you know we actually wrote this? In order to minimize casualties, I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs, less penetration. And he goes on to say, I'll still go through

Starting point is 00:41:43 anyone on my way because if they're there, they support rapists and pedophiles. Which is funny because isn't that exactly what the left has been saying about, or rather the Republicans have been saying about Democrats, entire political life, or rather just life talking about politics. And yet now they point to this and go, see, they called them pedophiles for Epstein stuff. And that's why this happened. Oh, like using the word fascist is why the other one happened, even though here's you guys saying fascist about the left over and over and over and over.

Starting point is 00:42:07 It's embarrassing, guys. It's just dumb. We can all see that they're all hypocrites. Like the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel, is the sense of arrogance. I walked in with multiple weapons and not a single person was there considers the possibility. that I could be a threat. Oh yeah, he wrote this before he went in the hotel, but comments on the hotel, because that totally makes sense. Guys, this is where we are. The security at the event is all

Starting point is 00:42:30 outside, focused on the same point, like I was in Iranian agent instead of an American citizen. I could have brought a damn Madus in here and no one would have noticed anything insane. So we got in without anybody checking him. But in the manifesto he wrote before he went there, because that door lines up. Or he said Iran, therefore we know. Same point, guys. I mean, if you haven't recognized by now that left and right, the majority of people are against all of this, whether or not they're on Trump side or believe he was the right guy. And this is radio free NAFTA points out some suspicious elements circled. Three words, the Trump regime will henceforth construe his threats.

Starting point is 00:43:05 Now, if you want to think this is either used or manufacturer to justify certain actions, here's a good way to look at it and will mandate that they can't be said, right? There's an ex post facto statement. When did he post this before or after the attempt, right? Now here's what he said. And the guy says, Madduce, that's military slang. I'm not sure.

Starting point is 00:43:24 But okay, so now you can't say pedophile, rapist, or traitor because that means you're a terrorist or like, your point suggests that now these things will be used to argue if you call Trump a rapist, pedophile, terrorist, then you are possibly a terrorist and you're on American or whatever, even though what, right? I mean, what were they saying about Biden and the rest during the Epstein Files conversation when Trump was out of power? Pedophile, rapist, same thing. Well, now they have literally personally covered up the evidence.

Starting point is 00:43:49 Epstein files and now it's, you know, now, and then same thing, pedophile, right, and it says, like the one thing that I immediately noticed, no, that was the same point for him. Anyway, the point he's making a general is that these very accusations and arguments, which seem to be more rooted in truth now than ever, are the ones that will be used to call you a bad guy. And then Adam makes the same point. Wait, when was this even written, right? That's, I think about the inconsistency there.

Starting point is 00:44:14 Now, here's the thing I always think about. By the way, oral remind me to figure out how to make my window's larger. Just happen to think about that right now. Visual effect. I'm not going to get it now. But, you know, I mean, the timing on this, how does this happen? Right.

Starting point is 00:44:36 So if he wrote this beforehand, I mean, obviously that's not even possible, right? So it's written about these things. I guess the real point is, so if this is a mistake, like, what do you read that? Do you read that as they're just that incompetent? That's my point is I guess that has to be possible with their, incompetence, but it almost makes you go, like, do they want us to question this? And if that's the case, then who is they? And what does that mean? Why? It's not in the interest of Trump's administration to make you notice that. I just find that weird. And it could just be incompetence.

Starting point is 00:45:04 Now, here comes the interesting part of this where Trump jumps out and goes, he hates Christians because read his manifesto. Well, that's not what I see there. And you should read through the majority of it. My point, though, is that I don't see indication that this person is like Christians are bad. Now, where that's coming from is from the team sport partisans. Betty Johnson did a whole thing about looking through the deleted post that we seem to not be able to verify that show all the things that mean he hates Christians and he's on the left. Perfect, how convenient that is. The guy is a sick guy. When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians.

Starting point is 00:45:40 That's one thing for sure. He hates Christians. And I think his sister or his brother actually was complaining about it. So why? And see, he's just repeating something he heard. That's so obvious. I think they said something about a family or something complained about something. You know, I don't know.

Starting point is 00:45:58 It was on Betty Johnson's show. Or Laura Lumer told me yesterday when she was at my house. Speaking for Trump, by the way, to be very clear. But, you know, it's just silly. It's silly. Like the whole thing. And why would that even make a difference? Why would that have any bearing?

Starting point is 00:46:12 Because you're Christians? No, you're not. We all, that's just not true. I mean, in fact, there's even a point that I should have included, by the way. And I maybe I could just throw it in really quickly, but I don't think I'm going to get into it in depth. I may, I'll grab real quick. Why not? But this is, you know, the interesting point about the, you know, whether Trump was a Christian and that original,

Starting point is 00:46:31 I'm going to try to find it right now. Sorry. Let me see. The Bible, you know, like the original conversation we had with Trump in the beginning of his administration and not putting his hand in the Bible. And then I guess recently Tucker Carlson was like, breaking news. Look at this thing that. you know, that was, we talked about that everyone discussed.

Starting point is 00:46:51 I have that somewhere. I thought, I guess not. Hmm. Anyway, there it is. It's wasting time until I can find it. So here is, let's see, there was two things. Right, right. Okay, so here's this one.

Starting point is 00:47:13 And I simply wrote, we discussed this at the time. Tucker Carlson accuses Trump of rejecting Christianity in the Bible. Claims there's a red flag when he, in the inauguration when he didn't. Yeah, obviously. But I said, well, you know, and I'm glad he's pointing to it. And I said, when it might, we discussed this the day after it happened, when it might have made a difference in the minds of those who supported him into the current blunder, right? Now, whether Tucker's honest about this or not, that's a point

Starting point is 00:47:37 we always have to make. Still can change minds right now, and that's good. I'm glad he's doing it. But sure wish we could have, in a general point, guys, I wish we could get off the reactive train and get on the proactive train. It's something in my kitchen industry always used to say, be proactive, not reactive, right? Don't wait for the problem and jump on it. Look for things developing and get to it before it starts. In this case, you know, we kind of stop going, oh, the thing, because the big guys pointed to it and recognize that tons of us are screaming about important things when we can do something about it,

Starting point is 00:48:08 not just when it's going to get you bonus points for saying there's a bad thing we saw back there. You know what I mean? And so if you remember this, guys, he literally, Melania was holding the Bible and he chose not to put his hand on it. and then they made up some story about how it wasn't there. He lied. It's right there. It's very strange to me. So the other part of this,

Starting point is 00:48:30 and I'll just grab this really quickly. I mean, it just, this, you might as well. There's only these two points that I had. It was going to make maybe a longer point about this in general, but, you know, come back to it. Here's what he said before his first administration. And I made a point about this already.

Starting point is 00:48:44 In fact, I literally talked about this clip because it's in point. It's just, here, this is a point that I've made many times about him in general. Thank you, Streamyard. Good God. So, you know, it's obvious, guys. If you don't think it's not, I mean, it's Trump, for example, in this clip, it's undeniable. It's undeniable that what he does in this clip you're going to see is lie. He's lying. He's just trying to play the people. He doesn't know, either can't think of them and just doesn't want to admit that or doesn't know any Bible verses. And so he just goes the whole thing, I like it all. And it really comes down to those who understand the Christian religion when asked about the old verse the New Testament.

Starting point is 00:49:30 And his response, it proves to you that he doesn't know anything about it. And he's just trying to tell you that, oh, they're all good. I like them both combined. You know, he doesn't know he's talking about. And this is crazy to me. And so coming all the back around, look at where we are right now. I'm not claiming to know what it might be alternatively or whether he believes in anything. I'm just simply showing that he played people to be in this position. And we're watching this weird prophetic thing play out around the world. And, you know, to that very point about the prophetic Armageddon, you know, end times conversation, we were screaming about Israel and that connection well before this, like a lot of Adam Green doing it for a long time. And guys, we're watching it

Starting point is 00:50:08 play out and we still can't have an honest conversation about it. You can have Higgs at hell, the military they're fighting for Armageddon. You can have Higgs, I mean, the entire Israeli telling you Trump's a prophet. And we can't be honest about that. So again, sure wish we could have called this out before they were committing multiple genocides, but I digress. So in this case, this is a clip. Oops, hit the wrong button, hold on. Get the extra camera button.

Starting point is 00:50:31 Here's the video I want to show you where Trump has asked this. Now, I can't tell whether the guy asking was deliberately trying to point this out. I kind of feel that's the case at this point, but you can decide for yourself. You mentioned the Bible. You've been talking about how it's your favorite book. And you said, I think last night in Iowa, some people are surprised that you say that. I'm wondering what one or two of your most favorite Bible. verses are i wouldn't want to get into it because to me that's very personal you know when i talk

Starting point is 00:50:57 about the bible is very personal so i don't want to get into there's no there's no verse it means a lot to you that you think about or cite the bible means a lot to me but i don't want to get into specifics even to cite a verse no i don't want to do that you're an old testament guy or a new testament uh probably equal i think it's just an incredible okay so you're not in it that's that's silly okay so the point what he's asking if you understand i'm not going to get into it because it's not about religion today. There's a big difference between that. In fact, even ways that connect to Zionism, to be quite honest, if you don't understand that,

Starting point is 00:51:29 it's not working to now. The point about the new verse, the Old Testament is a, it's almost like in its own weird divide within the religious community in some ways. But yeah, the point is to say that it's equal or together or the same, it doesn't make any sense for the point of the question. And I'm absolutely completely of the mind that when he had this conversation, he didn't either, that he's fronting as what he was. wants them to think he is, which by the way, it's like every other politician ever met my life.

Starting point is 00:51:57 So it's not unique to Trump. Pretty interesting, though, right? I mean, my point is looking back, how do we acknowledge, how do we not acknowledge this guy was just BSing through everything? Because that's what he does and they all do. But now he's like this profit hero guy saving the world for the deep state. All he does is just tell you what you want to hear. And thank God people are starting to see that.

Starting point is 00:52:17 Frankly, I think that's the majority right now. Even complaining to his brother actually was complaining about it. He's a sick guy. When you read his manifesto, he hates Christians. That's one thing for sure. He hates Christians, a hatred. And I think his sister or his brother actually was complaining about it. You know, they were even complaining to law enforcement.

Starting point is 00:52:42 So he was a very troubled guy. Right. Now, as somebody rightly points out in the chat as well, thank you. Something else that I was harping about for the longest time, and I still, to this very moment, find this to be wildly relevant. And I still, for the life of me, cannot figure out how nobody else has talked about this. This, I mean, you can verify this for yourself. The Trump administration's missing ethics pledges.

Starting point is 00:53:06 Now, I shouldn't say maybe there's somebody else that has. I just haven't seen it. And if you have sentenced me, let's have a conversation. I'll invite him on the show. But this is crazy. And this is half the administration as far. I could tell. Some of them I just haven't able to find out one way or the other. They literally did not sign the most basic, and look at the conflicts of interest that are just on display from watches to shoes and planes and cryptocurrencies and people profiteering and giving old employees and old people that used to be administration deals with old advertising. They are wildly corrupt. Now, you could just argue as corrupt as any of the rest. They're just bad at hiding it. You can decide, but worth pointing that out, right? And what did I tell you? What did the person? I forget, his name, the person that was in that transition time frame in the government that said,

Starting point is 00:53:51 look, they're not signing these ethics pledges. What he said generally, if I'm going to paraphrase, because I don't remember exactly what the quote was, but basically they could be working for a foreign government. We wouldn't know. I was like, well, that's spot on. And here we are. See, had we done something about it then, we could have made a difference. And we still can and we still will.

Starting point is 00:54:10 It's just about noticing that and recognizing who's stopping you from doing it. Now, here, this is the guy, by the way, Cole Allen, here's lips of TikTok. You know, one of those people holding up the binder that says, most transparent administration in history, we're going to break down the Epstein files and then starts attacking you for going, you know, what about the Epstein files? You're a liberal.

Starting point is 00:54:29 How an embarrassing S show for these people, like just dumpster fire. But he wrote to this in his manifesto. Now we just showed you the bulk of the things people pointing out, read the full thing. But we just showed you some of the things that were, you know, like we're not, you know, basically showing. you that it's about criticizing the foreign policy. I mean, in fact, here, I know, it's right here. I thought I closed it. Oh, wait. Come on, man. I'm all over the place today. Did I close it already?

Starting point is 00:55:02 I thought I had it open. Son up a gun. Oh, there it is. Okay. So, things about, you know, Gaza, things about Iran, things about, you know, Israelis raping people in prisons, about killing fishermen without trial. Like guys, you stand back from our absurd cartoon political system in this country or current political reality. and just acknowledge, we should all go, yeah, you probably shouldn't be people. Yeah, you probably shouldn't just murder fishing boats full of people without any process or due diligence. You know, it's incredible that you have anybody arguing that, especially those that pretend what you're doing is Constitution, freedom, liberty, you know, human rights. And it is the thing, kill them because they said the bad words.

Starting point is 00:55:42 But overall, the point is they only focus on, I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile rapist and traitor to coat my hands, to coat my hands with his crimes. Is that what I said? I didn't read that over here. To coat his image, maybe she just mistyped that. Anyway, regardless of the point, is you focus on the terms. Now,

Starting point is 00:56:06 what did you call Biden? All those same terms. And she says, this is what happens when the media knowingly falsely calls Trump a rapist pedo. You know, aside from the very clear evidence

Starting point is 00:56:17 and the trial that literally accused him and found him guilty of sexual manipulation of whatever her name was, and that he literally, in his administration more than anybody, has covered up people who were actual pedophiles, women who were raped by people connected Epstein. None of those things are false.

Starting point is 00:56:34 But I'm still not going to say he's a rapist peto because I feel like some of those things are a little bit, you know, whatever. You can decide if you want to use those terms. But think about how insane that is, that this is what she's doing. This is what happens when you call him things that he's doing or the idea that you only quote that as opposed to all the things. These people are ridiculous. Like clown shoe ridiculous.

Starting point is 00:56:54 Like, these people are a joke. But here they are with millions of reach and followed because that's what this platform does. They knew exactly what they were doing. Oh, so here we are again. The left did this, right? The media means the left, even though there's two sides to, you know, all the media is all over the place. But the media did this by calling them things. So now what you're saying is, Libs, in case I'm confused, is it words or violence, right?

Starting point is 00:57:18 So the words are bad. So how do you solve that problem with TikTok? Well, you can't let them say those words. see where this goes. Like, these people should laugh at themselves or how stupid and hypocritical they are. But that's what they do every day. Speaking of stupid and hypocritical,

Starting point is 00:57:32 here's Benny Johnson. And he says, now we have the blue sky post from the now deleted profile of the shooter. Okay, good luck verifying that. And on top of the reality, on top of all of it, guys, where we're at right now,

Starting point is 00:57:45 the accounts of selves. Like, I don't know why we think, like if we had an account, for example, that was public and you could look at it right now, I would question whether that was even valid, but I would look at it, we'd talk about it, but at the end of the day, we should question whether they're just manufacturing these things. And just like they do with no evidence about anything Democrats do. But he goes through and says here, based on these things, which by the way, feel free to work your way through this eight and a half minute clip.

Starting point is 00:58:10 It's all subjective and using posts to make comments that aren't even what the post actually say, but says he was a pro trans, anti-Trump, anti-Christian, Iraq war advocate. what does that even mean today? Iraq war advocate, so now he's a lefty because he's forced, like these things don't even make sense. Like Iran, Gaza, these are not left, right things at this point, guys. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying and then proof he gives you a video where he's going over apparently deleted things on a screen that he highlights of a count that you can't verify. Proof!

Starting point is 00:58:43 But on top of that, his entire manifesto that they're all pointing to says the opposite. Now look, question it. Maybe he does hate Trump. Maybe he does hate Christians. Frankly, I don't find that even relevant to where this conversation is going. I find it relevant. This guy, if he did, open fire at a politician and whether they use that to suppress your rights and whether he was connected to somebody.

Starting point is 00:59:01 But nope, make it about some subjective, subjective connection that the lefts are all bad and the lefts hate or rather love terrorism and just want to murder everybody, even though you guys are working with most of them right now. Right? I mean, all bad except when we do. We're the team of unity, right? They're all pedophiles except we're working together. We're saving the country together.

Starting point is 00:59:21 Or, you know, that we're working with all of the technocrats and Zuckerberg and everybody else or even Musk, who was a Democrat. You know, you just can't laugh at these people enough. And this person makes fun of them by pointing the bullets to say, I hate ballroom. And what's funny is the writing almost looks the same. And that's like done with a, you know, computer. If you don't remember, that was what Cash Patel put out about the bullets in the ground that was something about like ice and anti-ice.

Starting point is 00:59:45 And remember how that ended up. Nothing, guys. Right now, if you have the lawsuit from Cash Patel seems to be destined to fail as well. These people are a joke. Speaking of that, interestingly enough, Alice comes out and says, I do not think the show, oh, four red lights, big time, big time important. He says, I do not think the shooting last night at the White House correspondent dinner was staged. So enjoy that.

Starting point is 01:00:10 I'm not saying I think it is or not. I don't know. I find that these points are interesting and you guys can go for real if you'd like. I'm willing to bet you there's a long, long week. conversation from this guy about all of the different things about this story, but realize that he's challenging what the people think. It's staged. Everyone seems to be talking about.

Starting point is 01:00:26 Except right now, the hardcore team sport right is saying, if you say that, you're a liberal, even though most of the people I see saying that are right-wing people calling it out, like the ones that no longer support the team because they see you guys are all lying. But he says, was the Trump White House correspondent, then are staged? And here is Gunther Eagleman saying, it was staged liberals. I mean, think about posting that. Like, let, okay, first of all, of course things can be staged, right? You want to go back and look at how many things Gunther Eagleman argued were siops and staged and falls flat?

Starting point is 01:01:03 Because a lot of things, though, some things can be. But think about just stating it like that as the idea that it could be staged is what you make fun of. These guys are, you know what, they're like, it's almost like they're trying to milk themselves look stupid. I don't know. You'd like to think that even a child could recognize why you wouldn't want to. to do that, but that's why I actually think they're not even trying to be, they don't care about their reputation. Their job is to sell lies and ideas. And they make a lot of money doing it. And so you're going to come out and go, the thing that will, you know, I've always said these things

Starting point is 01:01:33 people questioned and now they do it and we're going to make fun of them because that's what I'm told to do right now. I don't know. You decide. Pretty sad, though, isn't it? And then new angle, staged. Exactly. And that's really what he meant, by the way. He really was arguing this whole thing was staged. But, and far they can tell, wasn't. Who cares? It's just, I mean, shouldn't say it like that in this moment. It's irrelevant to the larger point. Now, if you want to go into the date moment to moment updates about what happened here and who said what and what it connects you, here's at least one thread of that. And corporate media, but I want to stress again, guys, I think that this story in and of itself is only becoming important because of the

Starting point is 01:02:15 political lens being put over it. I'm in no way saying it's not important. A head of state being shot at. It's a big story. But it's like, it's like, and I don't want to even compare it like this, but it's, it comes to mind in the same way. It's not the same as weather, but I point is when you're covering the weather. The point I make is that, okay, well, you know, a huge weather event that causes damage and everything. It's like, okay, well, that that's reportable, right? Look at what happens. Then it's over. Then you move on. There's no reason to go this and that and hype and this and around without evidence, mind you. Now, this is what's happening around these stories every day of my life, is that this will continue to be hyped. And I just argue that this is a story that should be reported

Starting point is 01:02:53 as the guy got caught. And here's, if you have proof or even verifiable evidence that gives you something to go on about motivation, like a manifesto, then that's reportable. But after today, I feel like this story should no longer be hyped and I guarantee it will unless there's new things coming around. mark my words, this will be used like it always is, despite what Blanche said on the talk shows. It will be used to suppress your rights. It'll be used to shut down your freedoms. It'll be used to do everything they always do left and right. I hope not, but that's my opinion.

Starting point is 01:03:25 Now, in the context of distractions, as I've always been pointing to you, right? And right now, interestingly, how I've been showing you that it's on fire. Like, it's two at a level I've never seen before. And coming from the largest of the people who don't tend to be the ones that use these, you know, every, He did that account the skiff, for example. It's like every 30 seconds. Obama's going down. I can't believe what I just saw on a video from two years ago.

Starting point is 01:03:47 You know, every day. But recently you're getting the gun through Eaglemans and he's cat and they're doing the same thing. But this was a new part of this. Donald Trump did this. He just screenshots this random thing. And it says, Barack Obama, I hope they arrest you before your grand opening of your car. Okay. And Donald Trump just treats the picture.

Starting point is 01:04:08 Can you not see how easily he's playing? you. The idea that you go, oh my God, he's winking at me. Why wouldn't he just arrest him, guys? After all this time and all the evidence, which by the way, not largely, who knows what you're thinking about, but there's tons of evidence that I know of that this person should go to jail for, Obama and Trump, by the way, but that's all he does. And this guy goes, I think President Trump is trying to tell us something, sip coffee. Oh, that's the way. I said he's trying to convince you that he's on your side by apparently highlighting how he has failed to do any of the things he promised. Keep sipping that opium. Hashtag arrest someone. And Penny Johnson. That's my point.

Starting point is 01:04:46 Even these guys going acting, Attorney General Todd Blanche is dropping the hammer, advancing the investigation into Obama and John Brennan, green lit by January 6th and the same thing. Oh, Comey again, call me. Guys, I hope they go to jail. I think all of them are criminals. But you have to laugh at how this continues and how it just keeps going. the people like Benny Johnson, if they actually cared, would be like, why the F are you not doing this by now? Why are you? And if you don't, then I'm going to call you a liar because that's what an honest person would do. They will, however, hype every day about how it's all going our way when they don't ever do the things they said they were going to do. Because these people are not honest. It's simple as that. I just, I do not believe they're too stupid to recognize they're wrong.

Starting point is 01:05:31 I don't believe it. So they're just dishonest in my opinion. I mean, with the context of what I'm showing you. In some cases, I do think that for some of them, But that's obvious. I don't think that he's dumb enough to not realize what he's doing. Now, on the point of Cash Patel, this is just another follow-up from the Atlantic writer on the 24th and says, quote, I stand by every single word of this report. I have been inundated by additional sourcing going up to the highest levels of the government, thanking us for doing the work, providing additional corroborating information.

Starting point is 01:06:00 Now, if you haven't seen, this appears to be going exactly like I thought it would. It wasn't hard to predict that this is not going his way. and there's tons of people speaking up going, this guy is a man. I mean, there was an example of him admitting he was arrested for public drunkenness and public urination, but so too are probably half the people watching the show,

Starting point is 01:06:17 whether or not it was because they were an alcoholic. But the point is that there's more and more coming out from people that are inside going, yeah, this guy's a lunatic, yeah, he drinks like crazy, whatever. Some people have come out and said, he's the best guy ever and doesn't drink ever, you know, that's politics for you. Overall, I don't see how this goes in his benefit.

Starting point is 01:06:34 But my point in showing you this now is that I think the, entire thing, knowing it will embarrass him, was done to distract you. I genuinely think that. I could be wrong. On this point, I just want to reiterate because I thought this was humorous before we get into a run. We talked about this other day.

Starting point is 01:06:49 Alex Jones comes out in the 20th and says, totally confirmed. It is now declassified that the CIA created Lyme disease. Now, my point was laughing about this going, it's so tiresome. Alex was right again on the story that has been verifiable for years. And I mean verifiable, which I do not say proof lightly. And I said, for F's sake, Truth Three Media did a documentary about it in 2017. And you know, I've pointed to this documentary so many times. It's very well done.

Starting point is 01:07:16 You know, you can deny or rather dispute specific points. Maybe, for example, about deliberate release or the intention when first starting. But you cannot deny what the evidence shows. They were researching biologically manipulated bugs. That's on the record. Guys, you can research, you can show all this stuff. and I have done it extensively. And look, Alex has pointed these things in the past as well.

Starting point is 01:07:38 My point is not about whether he's talked about it, but saying now totally confirmed like something has changed. So why now? Why is he saying that? Because I honestly think this is about trying to go just the thing. Here's the theory that people like to talk about. You get this, you know, spinning out and not talking about the person he claims to be adversarial with right now

Starting point is 01:08:00 that he actually still clearly supports. And so I found this interesting. here's even what Grock had to say. Same point before. It's not about trusting Grock. It's about the fact that as a partisan, I find that reaches people who are partisan. It says, is that true?

Starting point is 01:08:15 What Jones said? And it says, no, the claim is not true. It's a longstanding conspiracy theory and blah, blah, blah. And I just simply jokingly asked it. So that'll be funny on the show. Is Alex Jones known for lying and deceiving people in your assessment, Grock? And it says, yes.

Starting point is 01:08:28 In my assessment, Alex Jones is widely known for lying and deceiving people. And the evidence strongly supports that reputation. I happen to agree, Grock, but double-check your claims, guys. The point here is that they say it's false that it's been confirmed, that it's been declassified. But in fact, I agree with that. Here's even Snopes, by the way, which we should never trust, but it doesn't mean you should ignore them either. Consider everything.

Starting point is 01:08:51 In 2019, did lawmakers demand the Pentagon disclose if it developed weaponized ticks? True. Now, when you get into this, what you'll find is that it didn't necessarily say we did this to make a weapon. to kill people. And that's why Grock will say it's disputed both because it's not some new declassified. They didn't just go, here's the documents. We admit it. That didn't happen. And in fact, whatever did happen happened a while ago when ultimately what they said was, yes, we are doing that. But the nuances, whether or not it was deliberate or at the end of the day, whether they were purposely released. But yes, they did it. And yet, here we are, right, where you get this kind of

Starting point is 01:09:29 stuff to spin it out. But I just find that humorous. Classified Breaking Story. It's all coming out right now. Alex Jones writes. Alex Jones is right again. It's just a, it's a cartoon. Now, here are some other points in this regard. Jessica Rose, who you should follow. She does great work. This is just beyond the beyond. Why aren't people responsible for intentionally hiding the safety signals being fired? They're liars and they're directly responsible for civilian deaths that include children. A lot of them. You cannot hide the bodies any longer. It's like she didn't follow me anymore. So who knows, maybe somebody told her

Starting point is 01:10:03 something I said that wasn't true or maybe I said something about work she didn't like or maybe Twitter unfollowed us. Who knows? I'm only jokingly saying that because right now more than ever. Actually, funny enough, we were just talking about that with the impersonation conversation. A lot of what happens in this field, and I've seen it my entire time doing this, is you get good people, honest people who get manipulated by somebody in their audience, let's say, who just cuddles up next to them. And then after a month starts telling him Ryan said this about you in the middle of their show. And he says you're a bad person. Didn't say that. Never even, you know, didn't even mention them. but then they get in their mind that I'm somehow bad-mouthing them and that changes the relationship.

Starting point is 01:10:37 This is a real thing. And this happens all the time in this field. And my point is that's being discussed right now. There are people pretending to be some of us in the IMA and reaching out to other people in the field and not only giving them, you know, things, links that make them get hacked, but also convince them somehow that we're, you know, like trying to turn them against other people. It's very real, guys, I'm telling you. And what does that show you that they're terrified of what we're doing? I mean, if we were just ineffectual, dishonest people, they wouldn't need to do.

Starting point is 01:11:03 that, right? But I was kind of half joking. Who knows? I mean, Jessica could have just been anything. I love her work. I think she does great stuff. And I actually think she's a really cool person. I did an interview with her about the block gate. Actually, I'll grab that real quick. Now, my point in showing you this is that I agree with her entirely. And I think that what we're talking about is the fact that whether Ron Johnson or whoever, this has been clear forever, as she's highlighted. Here's the interview, by the way. Blockgate and the unknown risks of truncated spike proteins. That was from 2023. But as I said, now watch as this administration, Trump's current administration, does nothing of substance to hold these people accountable, especially since they

Starting point is 01:11:47 are just as present on the left as on the right, meaning that if they were to go after this entire conversation for the COVID-19 lies, that Trump, more than anybody almost, is responsible because he started Operation Warp Speed. But either way, it's our government guys, left and right, Biden, Trump, the whole thing. But that's why, even though you can't hide the bodies any longer, that nothing's going to happen in my opinion. And that's sad, though, right? But I'm just trying to reach people who need to understand

Starting point is 01:12:13 that I want the same things you do. I want accountability. I want all of them, Obama, any of them. And I also think Trump, maybe you disagree, but I want accountability for criminals. And the only what we're going to get there is if we recognize that neither side of the paradigm is on your side. Now, Shadow Desert points out,

Starting point is 01:12:33 you can watch this clip. It's about two minutes. It says President Trump now says, and we already know this. I've talked about this multiple times already. Massey stood up against it, got a lot of cheer from people like Nick Sorder, even though now they still support Trump, even though he's pushing this in. Like, think about how silly that is. Nick Sorder even called Massey's effort to stop FISA.

Starting point is 01:12:51 Massey stopped the deep state. And now that Trump and Mike Johnson, the rest are pushing in FISA, I guess that means Nick Sorder just called Trump the deep state. He'll never say that. But that's the reality. It was just about trying to win over support from everybody that's honest, which is the majority, that sees Massey doing the right thing. and that they are on the wrong side of that. And anyway, the point is Trump now says now is the perfect time, he says,

Starting point is 01:13:16 for Congress to immediately approve the FISA domestic spying program. Gee, I wonder why. It's almost like nobody's paying attention right now. For national security reasons, because the military needs it. Of course it does, right? Because doesn't the military obviously need an internal domestic tool to spy on Americans without warrants?

Starting point is 01:13:33 Totally. And it says Trump says he's willing to give up his liberties and safety for even though FISA was weaponized against him by bad people. What he means by that is you have to give up your rights and I'm going to pretend like I'm doing it so I can convince you to pretend like that's the brave thing to do. He just literally told you to give up your rights for the government to spy on you

Starting point is 01:13:52 in the exact ways that you all promised to fight. This is my point. If you can't see that that is obvious and that what that shows you is that most people, if you understand it, which I believe that are, that wanted what he originally promised, and aren't just blind followers, then they're not happy about this.

Starting point is 01:14:10 They're going to stay back and go, what in the hell? How in the world is he going to do the thing that we, how is he not going to release the Epstein files? How is he going to go to war with the Ron? He swore not to do that. My point is everyone sees it and everyone's unhappy. We have to know that by now.

Starting point is 01:14:24 And these people are not this one, but the ones I'm pointing to today are out here trying to gaslight you into supporting him or ignoring it entirely. There he is on campaign trail. On day one, I will like, land inflation slash prices on day one, we'll end the wars on day one, blah, blah, blah. Right.

Starting point is 01:14:44 And I, even though my point was it never, it was like, come on, day one, what a stupid thing. It's not going to happen. Oh, you hate Trump. And then day three goes by. Well, what happened? No, he didn't mean day one. Always, right? Well, then why do you say that?

Starting point is 01:14:55 But of course, here we are this far into the administration. And it says, MAGA, time to admit you got conned. Here it is on the 23rd. U.S. inflation picture is the worst in almost four years. Now, hey, maybe it'll come back around. It'll be lower than ever. that's always possible. First of all, acknowledge this is not what he promised, clearly.

Starting point is 01:15:13 But the Iran thing, okay, fine, something new came about, always does. The point is acknowledging that it was lie or rather wrong about what happened, didn't follow through this promise, and that it's worse than ever right now and maybe won't, by the way it looks, go back down at all. Now, this is just, this kind of stuff is everywhere. I thought it's worth pointing out. This guy's been around for a long time. And for a minute, seemed like he was really calling some stuff out, like the SGT report,

Starting point is 01:15:41 kind of the same thing, but it just feels crazy that they're just like falling hard back into the blind Trump team support. This is what he just wrote yesterday. Iran keeps pushing back because Obama, Clinton, and the deep state players are instructing them to. Okay. As you know, I will never, obviously possible. Whatever you think that means, of course it's possible. But what evidence do we have as a journalist?

Starting point is 01:16:07 Next 22, what evidence do we have for that? Nothing, not at all. period zero, just the, they're left, they bad guy, that means they on their side because they bad guy too. It's very simple, right? They know once Trump secures that uranium that apparently was obliterated, depending on what day you look at it, traces the isotope back to the U.S. origin and proves Obama gave it to them. Come on, guys, of course that's possible. But why in the world would that need, I mean, do we not realize that we can prove that they had a nuclear program for civilian purposes and that they were allowed to make enriched uranium for a long time.

Starting point is 01:16:44 And so now you're going to argue that so what does that mean? Obama gave them some and then they made more, which makes that no longer meaningful or that they never made it and lied. And it was always what Obama gave them. They'd hold it the entire time. I think there's just no logic in what these people put forward. I mean, consider what they're saying, obviously. But that's why they're fighting so hard.

Starting point is 01:17:01 Why? Because the Democrats are like, do it. Yeah, that really lines up. Very logical take. Or, you know, the reality. is that they're literally trying to overtake their country for unjust reasons, whether or not they're good people, and are fighting to save what is their country, or at least their control over that country, and have every legal justification to do so. And then while they're trying to

Starting point is 01:17:20 take over Iran as a country, they're committing genocide, illegally breaking every possible law, every possible moral standing. But yeah, it's all good because the Democrats are behind it. See how that works? It doesn't matter what he's doing. Democrats are doing it, so you just have to ignore it all. Trust Trump. Trust the plan. Right? Let it. him cook is the most recent thing they put out, or not most recent, but in the context of trust the plan. The White House put a meme out, let him cook. That's trust the plan, guys.

Starting point is 01:17:48 That's what that means. I just said it's sad. Here's another one. 24th. He says, when they overthrow the U.S. government, when they overthrew the U.S. government in 2020, even though Trump's in power. So, that's funny how that makes sense. Trump collected evidence.

Starting point is 01:18:05 Ah, okay. Got it. evidence. And it says when, but we don't, now we just let them stay out of jail lines up. When they released COVID, you know, while he was in power, totally. He collected evidence. And again, apparently enough evidence, but we just let him go because Fauci's, you know, still walking free and Clinton and, you know, whatever else. It's coming, though. Hammer's coming down. Russian collusion, both impeachments, the assassination attempt, the indictments, he collected all the evidence. This is the biggest thing operation. The world's ever seen. Guys, that's like Q personified.

Starting point is 01:18:36 that's everything Q will get you to think is that it's all coming down multiple. By the way, it was supposed to be at the first year, the first administration, then it was after the first administration. Then it's like, well, you can't do it all in one registration. So now we're to wait for the next one. Then, oh, now it's all going to come down after 17 years. Oh, in the meantime, people are being raped and tortured and killed and wars and everything's changing. But it's all, and, you know, kids are taking the COVID shots.

Starting point is 01:18:58 It's all good, but it's okay because it'll all lead to him putting some people, to dunking on the lives, I guess, or what, taking over the government? I mean, I don't even think they know how this, it just, it is hard to stomach. Because really the point is aside from all the jokes, this is all complete subjective. It's an opinion. It's subjectivity. It's what they want to be the case and they throw it in your face and they go, this is all coming down.

Starting point is 01:19:24 And honest people who want that fall for the hopium. Now, quickly, Southern Paulobity Center, Southern Poverty Law Center, a couple quick follow-ups. Just, I mean, I'll give you some debating opinions on what it really looks like. I went over it in the past show. I'll grab that, actually. And it's just such an interesting thing. How is it connects to the Ozav movement, the Unite the Right conversation that we've talked about a thousand times?

Starting point is 01:19:55 And I'll make a point about that in a second. Oh, that shows up kind of funny on there. Obviously, it's meant to be like Trump's new ballroom, cross it out, shooting. Here's the other one. Include that. But so what's interesting about this story is just how, you know, Lumer was one of them who jumped on this before October 7th and tried to like whitewash out Israel from the conversation for obvious reasons.

Starting point is 01:20:20 And then October 7th happened. And then the very important aspect of whether they were funding the parts. I mean, it all ties together. It's not by accident. So this conversation, I think, is important because it does show you what the government's been doing and has done, can do. Of course, what they tried to do was take one aspect of one part of what they did, which was funding these people, whether informants or whatever you want to call it, it is not going to

Starting point is 01:20:43 work, guys. This is my point. I feel like it's designed to fail. So then they add the government, not one side versus the other, but the government who doesn't want you to acknowledge this, who wants you to think it's fake, and that's why it's put like this, to dismiss it. So the lawsuit fails, or rather, excuse me, the indictment fails, and then they move forward like you grow up to conspiracy theorist and then carry on funding groups in any context that they want to use against you, which is, again, for those who pretend like that idea is false, guys, our entire history is provably riddled with that. Whatever group, whatever side, our government's done that,

Starting point is 01:21:17 provably. If you don't think that, you need to do some due diligence. So in this case, my point is it's important to recognize it's not left or right. Our government's been doing this. And so when you get this indictment aimed only at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which, by the way, should be looked at, but only about the left, and only about informants that they pay, which they will claim our informants, and the case will go away,

Starting point is 01:21:38 will, it's designed to fail. So as we go through this more, here's what Lumer puts out. And this just connects to the bigger point. So as I said with the shooting, it's already happening as well. Here's Lumer trying to use the Southern Poverty Law Center conversation to kind of just spin out into something else.

Starting point is 01:21:53 And she goes, scoop. Candice Owens and Nick Fuentes are both in Italy and fled to Italy at the same time without alluring their viewers. Okay. Jesus, like a 12-year-old gossip in junior high. And she says, odds that they both would be Italy at the same time. Scoop?

Starting point is 01:22:09 sources tell me Candice Owens flew to, you know, sources probably just made it up. It was a parent fun test from Italy. Sorry, I should actually read. I'm trying to make fun of her. Sources tell me Candice Owens flew American Airlines from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Linaardovina to Rome, okay, to Italy. It was apparent Fuentes was in Italy after photos of him in Italy service. Okay.

Starting point is 01:22:29 These two like to pretend that they hate each other, but now they're both in Italy at the same time. Are you serious? I mean, certainly could be that they work together, but based on the idea that they're Italy at the same time, that's how you challenge that they hate each other. And it says their sudden traveled Italy comes one day after the DOJ indicted the ESPLC for fraud over secret funding of groups. Okay.

Starting point is 01:22:49 I mean, you're not very good at them. I mean, you're trying to clearly insinuate that that's connected to them somehow and that's why they fled. I mean, maybe that's the truth. But this is, I mean, this is what I'm trying to say is either she is so bad at this, does it doesn't realize that her flimsy subjective framing is what's going to hide the story, even if she wants to put it out there, or that's the plan. I think that some people are used, like Alex Jones has been used my entire life,

Starting point is 01:23:13 to cover things up that he talks about. But in this case, it says the DOJ indicted this on the SPLC on April 21st. The indictment does not mention either of them. There's no public evidence linking them to the case of Italy, which, of course, obviously. But just think about how silly that is. And I just put news, journalist. It's just like a gossipy little girl. It's insane, guys, and this is what they do.

Starting point is 01:23:36 And there's been, and even Alex Jones is like, that's fake. It all feels so arbitrary and constructed to me. Now, Mel points this out about the general thing, about the whole Southern Poverty Law Center conversation. And she's highlighting what Laura said right there. And this is new talking points went out because they're all doing the same thing. Mel says, you can tell that the Southern Poverty Law Center indictment is mostly BS. Now, that doesn't mean I can, I mean, I'm not going to,

Starting point is 01:24:02 us before, but I'd like to, I could tell you my opinion would be that she does not, she's not saying that them funding groups left or right is false, but rather that the entire thing was used in the way that I think it was too, but that that's, it's mostly BS because no one is actually naming the filing. The government literally brought charges against the organization itself, meaning no one is going to jail, right? No one is getting exposed. This is my point. The leadership is going to cut a deal, dissolve the organization and slink off into the sunset that with a bag of millions they've stolen over the last two decades. I agree.

Starting point is 01:24:35 Probably by design, mind you, because what they're doing is for the government's interest. It's what they've been doing to us left and right my entire life. And so whether it's the USAID for policy conversation or SPLC, it's about a thing that can do it. So fine, get this one out of the way, start a new one. Easy. And the only thing we can expect, which I argue by the way, it probably won't even dissolve, but her point is fair. It says, and the only thing we can expect is to have the dumbest, most annoying people on the

Starting point is 01:24:59 right spend the next year or two repeating these same stupid lines to distract from the fact that they're all bought and paid for slime balls. I happen to agree, whether they realize that or not. Now, here's a different opinion. Adam Klan still point this out. Now, I want you to consider all this, even though I do disagree with, like, he makes a point about the very fine people thing. I'll read it all. So this person, and I'll point to what they say here, says there's no other way to put this. This is their opinion. And this is the editor-in-chief of All-Rise News, not familiar. With the help of right-wing media, Caroline Leavitt is lying about the indictment

Starting point is 01:25:33 and running interference for white supremacist groups to try to retroactively exonerate Trump of his very fine people scandal. I don't even remotely think that's what that's about. So you can see how even this, I would argue that's him seeing it through his lens of the Trump very, I even still stand by what I said before,

Starting point is 01:25:48 despite the fact that I don't think Trump is even remotely what he pretends to be. When he stood up and said very fine people on both sides, which is what he said, that's the equivalent of saying all lives matter is somehow racist. That's a stupid thing to say. Now, you can argue that what they meant it to be

Starting point is 01:26:04 was somehow undermining your point, fair enough, if you feel like that's what they want to say, but you don't know their intentions. When he said very fine people on both sides, and I'll even point out as well that there were examples of what he said that were meant to lean into the side. I think both sides of the paradigm

Starting point is 01:26:19 fan the flames of the most radical parts of their sides. I very much think that. Nonetheless, what he said was ridiculous to use that way. like he was going, those Nazis are good people. He didn't say that, even though he might think that if you think that. I don't think that's what he said. So my point is to put that all aside and think about this from a nonpartisan perspective. Right.

Starting point is 01:26:38 So what she's saying is, well, what he's saying, first of all, is that the running interference for what the whole thing. And then says, here's the entirety of the indictment's claim about the Southern Poverty Law Center in Charlottesville. And again, guys, I want to make this clear. Charlottesville, unite the right, seems to be like the focal point of the entire thing, which obviously if you're paying attention is I think that means something like we just went over but they arguably the smallest part clucs clan and all these different groups and national socialist party but yet weirdly they focus on but you know why because that's the

Starting point is 01:27:14 one that matters that's the unite the right that's the ozav movement that is the connection to all of this is real the whole thing and if you don't know what i'm talking about i just went over to get in the last show i just included it it's right here The Southern Poverty Law Center deflection. So here's the indictment part. It says one informant making roughly $33,750 a year for eight years, wrote racist posts to maintain his cover, as they argue anyway, and helped organize transportation for the rally,

Starting point is 01:27:44 which that's what the FBI does every day, which I disagree with, by the way. I think that's disgusting the way that they manage this. In fact, half the time I think that they put people in risk and danger to do it. You would disagree. But the point is they're now saying this proves that they are Nazis and they fund the entire Nazi groups everywhere you look at, and every one of them pointed to the Patriot Front,

Starting point is 01:28:03 even though, again, as somebody, as I discussed in previous shows, and the last one we just did, you can clearly show an overlap, as I discussed, of the people at the Patriot Front, the overlap with the Ozzav Movement, the overlap with even the base, and these different groups we talked about. Otto, what is it called, auto, I forget the names.

Starting point is 01:28:21 It's been a while as they looked into them all. My point, though, is that there are overlaps. But the one group, the Patriot, that wasn't even mentioned in this, and it wasn't about the individual that overlaps, was the one that they all focus on. Every one of them, including U.S. officials, point to the Patriot Front,

Starting point is 01:28:36 which I agree. It's obviously a construct, in my opinion, but why would they make it about the Patriot Front when that's the one group that wasn't mentioned in the indictment? You see what I'm saying here, guys? This feels designed to fail, designed to fail, whether all the screaming jackals online know that or not.

Starting point is 01:28:52 And it says, oh, so again, my point was about the informants, well, whether they were, or not if you believe they were fighting the whole operation. In a court of law, there's no way they're going to differentiate that from what the FBI does. And he's raised, that's it. There's no allegation that this informant played any other role

Starting point is 01:29:09 in drawing hundreds of white supremacist to Charlottesville. To shout out, slow against, intimidate, none. Now, that's not, I'm not saying that you don't have to think that that's not the case. The indictment that they're using doesn't make that case. So you're going to tell me that everyone in the ridiculous cartoon made Team Sport Media on the right, is out there screaming that we know it's proven, it's all of them, they funded it all.

Starting point is 01:29:32 It's the biggest story in a century. And the only thing the indictment argues is that they gave that money to informants and he made posts so we could maintain his front. It says in return, the informant spent nearly a decade sharing info about his racist peers, which they did, which was known to work together with the FBI to monitor, prosecute. And this is the FBI, guys, this spanned across Trump's previous administration. until Cash Patel chose to end that on October. Right. So it seems almost as if this was designed to make a big distraction thing, like I keep talking about,

Starting point is 01:30:07 or maybe Cash Patel just stepped in it because he's that incompetent. I also don't know. But what I will show you here, I think I have this clip, is the way that they're doing this is designed to, like, they're saying things that you aren't, it's like with Garcia and every other one. They call him a rapist and a human trafficker, and their own indictment doesn't even mean.

Starting point is 01:30:27 make those allegations. And then what happened? He was let go, which good. He deserved to be let go. Not because I know he's a good person, but because the evidence they presented did not make the case for what they said. And in this case, you have to ask, is that by design or are they incompetent? Because here they are doing it again. So can you confirm that Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff are headed to Islamabad to meet with the foreign minister of Rajee? Well, thank you, John, for having me. It's great to be with you as always. And yes, I can confirm Special Envoy Whitkoff and Jared Kushner. Yeah, we'll laugh about that in a second because they got stood up.

Starting point is 01:31:01 We'll be off to Pakistan again tomorrow morning to engage in talks, direct talks, intermediated by the Pakistanis who have been incredible friends and mediators throughout this entire process with representatives from the Iranian delegation. Look, the Iranians reached out as the president called on them to do and asked for this in-person conversation. So the president is dispatching Stephen Jared. to go hear what they have to say. And we're hopeful that it will be a productive conversation

Starting point is 01:31:31 and hopefully move the ball forward towards a deal. I mean, look, President Trump has made his red lines throughout this entire process very clear. He was flexible in extending the ceasefire. And so Stephen Jared will be off to hear what they have to say. That's my understanding that the Vice President J.D. Vance will not be going, at least not in this moment. But is there any indication that the Iranians are any more

Starting point is 01:31:54 favorably disposed to accepting the U.S. conditions? than they were the first time around. Well, I think we'll see. And that's part of the reason that both Jared and Steve will be on their way. The president always wants to give diplomacy a chance. It's always his first option, and he's willing to do that here again. The vice president remains deeply involved in this entire process, and he'll be standing by here in the United States.

Starting point is 01:32:16 Hey, guys, I'm sorry. I got up to grab something while I was playing that, and I realized that this is the wrong clip. Hold on. I've got it right here. Now, what's funny is that's either, that is either, yeah, that's interesting. I don't want to get into this right now,

Starting point is 01:32:37 because I want to talk about this, but there is something very strange happening with Twitter, which everyone, you're probably like, I agree, but in ways that I haven't discussed yet, that this clip, actually what I think happened here was this clip, which I just downloaded, and we'll see if it plays the same one. And I'll show you the difference.

Starting point is 01:32:52 There's an issue. with Twitter, and I think it's because they manipulate their posts. I think about, I think that people like Trump or anybody else, they can swap things out and without losing their engagement. YouTube did this for special people for, YouTube did this for specific people back in the day. When they had a mistake and they, you know, when you had to do it, you have to delete and repost, you lose all of your engagement. They would get to switch something out and keep that engagement. So let's quick and see if this is the same. So can you confirm that Jared Kushner are headed to Islamabad to meet with the Yeah, okay, check this out, guys. This is wild. So,

Starting point is 01:33:24 I want you guys to see this. I don't want to take too much time on this, but this is pretty crazy. Look at the video that I'm downloading right here. You see the difference? You can probably even hear it. Which was at one point in its history, very reputable civil rights organization. I want to ask you about the DOJ going after the Southern Poverty Lawson. You see that?

Starting point is 01:33:48 This is very, this is, I'm just for sake of having this on the show so I can reference it later. Check this out. Here's the article. You can see the difference, right? And it mentions the Southern Poverty Law Center, right? Oh, it's freezing on me. Yeah, all the way through it. Okay?

Starting point is 01:34:12 So check this out. Just so you can see it. Not that I even have to do this. I'm sure you guys believe me, but let's download the video again. See what comes out. Let's see. All right, let's try it again. That looks like this is right this time.

Starting point is 01:34:40 So I want to, just for the sake of comp or for you guys watching, what I'm going to show you right now appears to be the right video. I hope it plays right. but what I was just showing you was the fact that I just downloaded it right before that and I got the wrong one. Now, what I'm trying to highlight, I want to ask you about the DAJ going. This is the correct one. Now, I only have the one thing.

Starting point is 01:35:00 Now, here's what interesting to me, what in my experience with doing this and asking about certain posts and it will like misquote what it's about and be like, no, that's actually so-and-so and they're, like, GROC or whatever, and it'll be wrong. And if pushed, it will say, oh, the ID for the video was mistaken for so-and-so ID. and what you'll find is that it'll constantly do that. And so what I'm showing is I just downloaded the video from that clip and I got a different one. Telling you, there's some kind of weird swap. Anyway, no wasting more time on that.

Starting point is 01:35:29 I find it to be very interesting. Now, think about what that could mean in the background, like for, you know, propaganda and for swapping things out and for misinformation. Very interesting. Okay, back to the point. Here's your clip. Now, here, let me reset this real quick since I took a second. So the point, back to the Southern Pottie Law Center was one, with the, the informant and the idea of how they're pretending that that's something that it's, you know,

Starting point is 01:35:51 the way they're framing it seems designed to fail when there's probably a lot more you could prove, but that would then make it a whole of government problem, I would argue. Here's what she had to say. And this is my point about her saying it in a way that does not align with what's on the indictment. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which was at one point in its history, very reputable civil rights organization fighting the KKK. According to the DOJ, all of that has changed. And I guess the thing that's probably most relevant to President Trump is that they were paying the person who was involved in that unite the right rally in Charlottesville, which was one of the biggest points of criticism for this president during his first term. What's his thinking on what's going on now with the DOJ and the SPLC? Well, you're right. The Southern Poverty Law Center was a very reputable organization at one point in time, and they have unfortunately transformed into a criminal organization. Okay. This is an indictment. I mean, I shouldn't have to do this again for those of you that watch this show.

Starting point is 01:36:52 An indictment's an accusation. That's it. Now, yes, it's based on evidence, but not proof. And even if you want to argue that it's sound, it is not yet decided. It is something that then goes to an investigation, which could then go to a trial, which could then verify whether or not they're guilty. Even if all the evidence is sounding, it can still end up where they're ruled to be, you know, it could be, I mean, it could go a lot. of different ways. They don't amount to that person's guilty. But just to be objective, that's the way to frame that. But the reality is we can look at what the indictment shows. The evidence that they're presenting, guys, in no way amounts to what she just said, even if it was proven. And now they're going further and saying that there are a criminal organization. At some point, somebody is going to take them to task here. Like somebody

Starting point is 01:37:37 could sue them, her or the Trump administration and say, you know, but see, here's the thing. They know what Trump will do. They know his endless. resources and his childish vindictiveness to the point to where they know it'll probably work. They don't want to waste the time. But you realize what they're doing. They're calling them. Now, I'm not defending this group, but realize that she's calling them a criminal organization when they've yet to be proven to be so.

Starting point is 01:38:00 That's libel. That's a crime. And they did the same thing with all the rest of these people. They're just dishonest. And she's just doing what she's told. Run by fraudsters who are paying for and inciting this very racism that they claim to stand against. And that's the tagline. Like that's the repeated exact sentiment they've all put out there. But again, what are the indictment show? Well, they paid informants who then informed on the group.

Starting point is 01:38:23 In no way does that even prove in any way, shape, or form that there was incitement at all. Again, I'm not claiming that's not the case. I think very clearly this, all of our government does this in a lot of circumstances, whether in our country or foreign governments where they want to create regime change. By point again, she's saying that when that doesn't even back up what they argued in court. Now you mentioned the Charlottesville hoax, John. It's a brilliant point because Charlottesville hoax. You see, even if your indictment shows an informant, how does that become a hoax, an entire hoax? On top of that, let's not forget how embarrassing this is. Guys, they defended this thing.

Starting point is 01:39:02 Whatever you think about it. I'm not even saying good or bad. I'm saying at one point, they literally defended this by saying the people there were, like, and this is where you get to the whole fine people argument, where it becomes, well, he's supported them. Now, even if the argument is clearly, he didn't necessarily say they're all good people, it turned into defending versus not. That's what it ultimately, for most of them, what it came down to. And now it's a hoax. Now all the people that were defending it now are like, see, the left pretended to blame us. So now you do think it's bad? In effect, what you're saying is that is a bad thing. And they use that

Starting point is 01:39:34 bad thing to make us look bad. But that, you see what I'm saying? It doesn't line up with what you've ever, And on top of that, what they're expressing in that bad thing is what most of this team sport side seems to think. And I'm not even talking about the majority for conservatives, not even close. But isn't that interesting? The whole thing. You know, and only the left and the whole, on top of the fact that what they're actually pointing to are many people that are tied to things that you could directly tie to Donald Trump's administration or the right in general. But again, my point is not about one or the other. I'm just making that point to show you how they're choosing to ignore certain things.

Starting point is 01:40:09 It's an all of government manipulation. That is one of the most vicious and egregious smears that has been used against President Trump over the course of the past 11 years since he got himself into politics. And this group funded some of the funders of that hoax that not only the media aid up. Funded some of the funders. Oh, wait a minute now. So now you're saying some of the funders, not even the people. So they're funding some of the people who then fund the thing, which is not even accurate.

Starting point is 01:40:39 I don't think. She's just ridiculous. But even, let's just say they funded them. Some. Only some of them is the point. How are you then calling it a hoax? You realize the argument is because we know that they paid them, therefore none of them are real. But you're now clearly saying that it wasn't all of them.

Starting point is 01:40:53 So some of them were there and they meant it, right? I don't even need to go this far. Guys, this is my, but it's worth doing it for those that may still be going. But it's embarrassing. Their own arguments and their own lack of evidence verify for. you, if you care to look, that what they're doing is either dishonest or incompetent. I'm leaning towards the design effort from some level to make sure that this doesn't go anywhere because this is a useful tactic that I see, I mean, everyone, the UK government, Israel,

Starting point is 01:41:22 the United States. This is a common tactic for governments that want to manipulate their people. Like candy, but that the Democrats ran campaigns on. If you recall, in 2020, Joe Biden launched his campaign for president on the basis of the Charlotte. Let'sville hoax. It was a total lie. That's how it's used, you see. Both sides. All the way around.

Starting point is 01:41:43 Biden used this way. Trump uses it back. Wake up, guys. I know you can see it. And it was funded by this organization that claims to stand against racism. I'm glad to see accountability. All this does, it just tickles the thing that the right wants.

Starting point is 01:41:58 The left's dishonest and they're not as virtuous and morals. They pretend to be and see they're, they fight racism. But here they are making racism. and it's the same thing. And guess what? If you want to dig into everything about the right, you'll find the exact same hypocrisies everywhere you look. Because left and right are the same thing. Not the same opinions, but they're the same thing. In principle, in lack of it, in hypocrisy. They're identical. Is being had thanks to the Department of Justice. And I would like to criticize the legacy media.

Starting point is 01:42:28 Oh, wait. Make sure you heard what you just said there. To stand against racism. I'm glad to see accountability is being had. thanks to the Department of Justice. Is it now? Well, yeah, that's yet to be seen, right? Has somebody been arrested? Has somebody got to jail? Somebody would find?

Starting point is 01:42:45 No. Well, let's hold the phone on the accountability there. Leave it because this is what they want from you. They want it to go, we did it. We won. It's over. And that's what they want from everybody is to go the thing and yell about it and hype and scream and stop looking at what we're failing at

Starting point is 01:43:00 and pretend like we did it because we also don't want to actually stop this. I mean, I don't even make the point again. Show me when somebody gets arrested. Anybody, any of them. Epstein stuff, Obama, Klaus Schwab, Fauci, anybody, Social Security fraud, doad stuff, everything, not one. And again, I don't even need to do that because I'd like to think that somebody with two brain cells are up together can piece together how obvious that is.

Starting point is 01:43:25 And I would like to criticize the legacy media. If you read articles about this case and this indictment in the New York Times, they're trying to claim that this is a weaponization of justice from the Trump DOJ. Yeah, and maybe they're wrong, right? Wait and see. And like every other one that we pointed to and Cash's point, all the rest of them, El Salvador, Garcia, Khalil, Oz Turk. I mean, go down the list, guys.

Starting point is 01:43:53 Darest criminal monster, the worst of the worst. I've never even seen somebody offend me. They're so bad. And then they walk away. Hey, and let's just even say you agree with them. The worst of the worst of the worst and they walk away. Okay, well then why aren't you mad that they just let the worst walk away? Funny how you guys aren't talking about that either.

Starting point is 01:44:10 What I'm highlighting is the teams for people who don't care about anything. The reality is they lied about those people or they designed it to fail and you should care either way, but they don't. And it's the same thing here. Guys, it's just designed to not go anywhere. It wouldn't be further from the truth. This was a grand jury indictment made. Which means an accusation. That's it.

Starting point is 01:44:30 to make that sound fancy, but all it means, and by the way, with political motive, everything, from judges to me, everything is politically motivated in some ways. I think everybody, and they're put in these positions, whether we're talking about, or, you know, I mean, it depends on the circumstance, election here, but the point is, I think people find their way into all these positions. Judges are not because people that put them there or have the power to manipulate into place or what they're there because they want them there. We talk about judges all the time. Now, that doesn't mean you should ignore what happens. They, that, you should just, start going, well, the circumstances, they're all politically motivated. So in this case,

Starting point is 01:45:03 this was a grand jury and whether they put forward the indictment and the information and the evidence and whether they're going to go, well, you know, give the Trump, whatever that process is, or whether or not, the point is you don't even need that much. There is a leeway given there. And if they have evidence that makes it a possible, that's all it needs, probable cause. We argue this looks like there may be something and so that opens the door, chew further investigation, not proof, not even actually charged. They haven't, it's an indictment. They haven't even let me.

Starting point is 01:45:34 Anyway, guys, they're just playing on the stupidity of average people. And that should insult you. When you wake up from this and go, oh, my God, they totally misrepresented that. You should be bothered by that. You should turn around and go, I'm never trusting you again. And you know what? That's the right thing to say to every politician left or right that you ever come across. Jury indictment made up of Americans who realized that this organization was engaging in criminal activity

Starting point is 01:45:56 and they need to be held accountable for it. And she literally just said that that's what that acted like a jury just decided they're guilty. That's what she just tried to make you think. No, guys, this was an indictment. It was enough to go, okay, you can look further. That's it. And like I keep saying, how many other indictments they push forward as the end all be all changing of the system that failed. Of course, they turn around and go political mode of it, maybe.

Starting point is 01:46:20 But as I went through it like I'm doing now with the other ones and I said, well, my estimation before it even goes to the political manipulation is that, it was designed to fail. There's not enough here. And that's why you get people that resign because they'll think this isn't going to go anywhere, but you have to do it anyway because Trump wants it. Sad. So, oh, wait, there's a few more I was going to get to here. Hold on. So, now, again, his point about the political, the personal partisan view on that doesn't really change the bigger point about what's actually in there and you can check for yourself. Now, same point. Here is, what's his name on Greg on Fox News. Greg Gutfeld's. as all the mainstream media knew

Starting point is 01:47:06 that Southern Poverty Law Center was funding fake white supremacy hoaxes, but they went along with it anyway to help Democrats. This is Fox News. Not that that's somehow like shocking, they're ridiculous. But think about how crazy that is.

Starting point is 01:47:18 It's an indictment. Nothing has been proven. And what it is is an indictment about the possible, I guess, remember, it was wire fraud, money laundering. That's it. Not that they're small, but that's not even remotely what they're claiming.

Starting point is 01:47:31 And then that amounts to or relates to a, informant, not the entire organization or even the remotely close to the entirety of what was at Unite the Right. And then they turned this into, everybody knew that they were faking entire hoaxes, I mean, fake white supremacy hoaxes, laugh at how dumb they are, first of all, but they went along with it anyway to help Democrats. Everybody. You mean even the right did? This is one of the biggest scandals in decades. You mean the thing that hasn't been proven yet? This is domestic terrorism and the media. Oh my God, guys. This is in big. Now, the first part comes from Wall Street Ames.

Starting point is 01:48:06 Laugh at him. The second part is what Greg was saying down here. I can't begin to say how big this story was. So this makes Jesse Smollett hoax look like amateurs. The thing that hasn't yet been proven. Look, if you want to compare Jesse Smollett to informants

Starting point is 01:48:22 and the weather that is, you know, again, remember, there's more evidence than what they're pointing forward. If you want to dive into this and recognize the all of government thing, yes, it would be way bigger than Smollett. But what they're pointing to is not even a fraction compared to what the Smollett thing was. They're pointing to an informant and him working with them for a decade.

Starting point is 01:48:41 That's it. And they want to make bigger story than all of these hoaxes. They're trying to build this up so you freak out and then it goes nowhere. And here is Ted Liu, who is another partisan politician who you shouldn't trust. And he says, this is one of the stupidest DOJ cases in history. Southern Poverty Law Center wasn't paying the Klan. They were paying informants to who were to, to, to, they were, helping to take down the clan, as he argues.

Starting point is 01:49:09 Unless you believe white supremacist all of a sudden took over Southern Paubey Law Center, this entire case makes no sense. Well, it's certainly possible, right? The only point I'm showing you this for is to recognize how this inevitably goes, I argue by design, whether this clown recognizes he's being used or not. The point is that the Ted Loo's at the world can come out and go, see, they're lying to you. Look at these idiots. It's an informant, and he's right.

Starting point is 01:49:32 And they go, they're just to beefing this up into nothing. And what does that amount to? the government, the real situation, not one side of it, but all of it, can then put this to bed. They can make them look silly. They can get you hyped. They can distract their ongoing blunders in Iran, and they can then continue to use this. So they effectively got to use the anger around the story, but they got to keep the story. They're going to use it again later.

Starting point is 01:49:54 And the Ted Luz are coming out using a point that's accurate to get you to go see. And then you go, he's a lying deep Democrat trying to deflect me. At the end of the day, guys, it's being used against you. And I hope people are starting to see that. It doesn't mean trust head loo. If that's what you took from that, you are blinded by partisanship. Here's Jack Busobic. This is just wild to me.

Starting point is 01:50:15 Scott Adams. The same Scott Adams from the COVID thing we should laugh about. And here he goes, Scott called it. Scott Adams on 2023, March, said, what are the odds? So he didn't call it. He guessed at the possibility. First of all, start there. What are the odds?

Starting point is 01:50:30 Those Tiki torch carrying neo-Nazis from Charlottesville would only rally once. they didn't by the way different point we can get into that wasn't the only time that that group marched places but you know who cares about facts that they got right it says feel like it was an american intel op against trump that's my working assumption now one of the things i considered at the time was about using this group to not necessarily like against trump but in a sense would be used because he was the one to take the fall but used to collapse around trump's feet which i still consider is one of things happening right now. That it just took more than one administration

Starting point is 01:51:05 and the entire system is going to be collapsed around Trump and he'll be blame for it. And then whoever comes in next will be the one that they hear, Harold is the one that saves us when that's the guy bringing in the technocratic, you know, regime change for the country, whatever you want to call it. The anti-Christ is someone call it.

Starting point is 01:51:19 The point here is that I did consider that it was used like to blame the right. But that was about the larger non-partisan, two-party illusion agenda to blame you to get one side attack and the other. right. But either way, Musk goes bull's eye. Jack Posobik says he was that far ahead. I say, oh yeah? Well, here's our article in 2022 talking about the Yaza Battalion tied to Charlottesville and CIA, where we literally go through the reality of the government funding fake Nazi marches and how that

Starting point is 01:51:50 was exactly what happened to the United the right and it was used against the right to, in fact, blame Trump. But again, made the clear point about not being against about the whole thing. But see my point? I said, are you serious? He was. was just typing into Twitter what many of us had been talking about publicly for some time. But I'm sure you know that, Jack. You just do this for a living. I said, one of many T-Lav shows discussing this in 2022. I believe we had one before that. Think about how stupid that is. But Scott called it. Now, the question is, why does Jack Wasobic want you to think Scott Adams was ahead of that story? Who knows? We live in a very weird time. But just recognize these people,

Starting point is 01:52:26 Elon involved in him going bull's eye. For what? Why? There's something strange going on around all these things. And even it's just really about keeping the stories going in the directions they want you to see. It's a fake reality here, guys. For that very point, here's what Tim Poole comes out. I mean, these guys are almost like the, like, like the token media elements

Starting point is 01:52:47 in the independent side for the mainstream. He writes conservatives announce rally. Liberal group pays Nazis to show up. Liberal group says, see, conservatives are Nazis. Wow. So insightful, Tim. And it's like, of course, you know, a model that can apply literally anywhere. You know, liberals announce rally.

Starting point is 01:53:08 Conservative group pays pedophiles to show up, whatever you want to fill it in for, or Nazis. And then conservative group says, see, liberals, X, Y, and Z. See, if you're not a complete moron, you can go, oh, the government can do that to any side all the time. And historically has done it every which way you can find out. But yes, let's make it only about the bad liberals because that's your job.

Starting point is 01:53:32 how embarrassing. You know, and that's my point, guys. These people constantly put out the dumbest takes of the world and get constantly put up for it. I'm convinced it's the platform entirely. I mean, here's even Owen Shore, I was saying, the feds do this, too, you dummy. You know, it's like it's not this simple reality.

Starting point is 01:53:47 He's trying to, anyway, it's just what this guy does. He's got his own little thing where it's like half always kidding. So he's not always wrong. He's a coward. He's a coward in the room in this conversation. Here is Benny Johnson. 24th. Incredible, he says.

Starting point is 01:54:03 I've never seen this raw footage of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Listen to what they're saying. Changes everything. Now, whether you think he's joking or not, guys, which is what half of people want to say. The video is AI. It's not real, which I think is pretty self-evident, right? The point is that plenty of people don't even look further. I said, no due diligence, just a rush to share whatever works for the current narrative.

Starting point is 01:54:25 The point overall, guys, is these people don't, in a sense, you could even argue that putting out this as if without saying it is a way to make you think that the next thing is always a joke at the end of the day every single thing they want to share comes out they put it out i've done i've covered this entirely every one of them and they'll share fake things that they don't even care to take down i'm glad they point back and say look they got it wrong they were wrong they failed they constantly lied about this look voting machines in venezuela nope those are washing machines or whatever it was the time i forget air conditioners i think it's very very infuriating. Now, the point about the Southern poverty law center things to include is that it's

Starting point is 01:55:02 already basically dropped. Like, it's going to be there. It's a construct for a further thing they're going to use. But at the end of the day, we should be following up day to day. What are they doing today? Like, if you care about it, where's the lawsuit? Where's the indictment? What are they doing? And I promise you, within a couple of weeks, it's going to be unbelievably clear that it's going to go nowhere. Now, I honestly hope not because I'd like to see the group that I know was actually involved in that, have some accountability. But it's not designed that way because it's not aimed at the full picture. But I digress.

Starting point is 01:55:33 Now, let's get into some Iran stuff to finish, both Iran and Lebanon. Let me close some of this real quick. Okay. Now, see where we are. Okay, good. Now, I want to talk about this just to, you know, again, I honestly still stand by what I said the last time. I mean, you guys watch the show.

Starting point is 01:55:57 You probably already know what I'm going to say. There's been new events that have happened, but the story's the same. I mean, it's quite obviously exactly the same story that like a couple, almost a month ago, we left off where Iran says, you know what, we're done. You're killing our people in negotiations. You're not serious. We're leaving open, you know, possible connections in case you want to just give up, but we are not negotiating anymore. Then I argue they came forward and said, we'll give you your 10 points because the 10 point plan is what they're still standing by. So they go, okay, meet us and is al-Bad.

Starting point is 01:56:28 And that was the first time. And they meet them there, or at least after the, you know, they meet them there. And they, however it went down, clearly did not go there for the 10 points. And then we know that Netanyahu got involved in the phone with Vans. And they just, then they stopped because Iran said, well, you're clearly not serious because our 10 points are the only thing we're asking for. And then it kept in, this is, it's ridiculous. Happened again. We're going to meet.

Starting point is 01:56:53 And they're happy. They're begging for a deal. And then I said, we're not doing this because you are blocking the straight. You said, let's do this again. We said, let's make a ceasefire. And then you never remove your blockade. is quite obviously an active war, and it's literally in the conversation that you wrote down, but then Iran violated the deal. That's what happened. But yet at the same time, they're begging

Starting point is 01:57:12 for the deal that they keep pushing back on. It's just insane. And so here we are with a couple more events where, oh, at this point, it's the same situation. Now, if the U.S. had a position of strength, this has already been over. If they had any indication that they, like anything they were saying was real, the minds, the, the blocking of this, everything, this would not look the way it is right now. Now, let's start with the argument. This is somehow self-defense still. Pretty meek at this point, right? As the lawyer Robert Barnes says, who used to support Trump, the dumbest self-defense claim ever made. So here's the actual post. Operation Epic Fury and international law. I advise you to read the whole thing, but it's difficult when you understand basic

Starting point is 01:57:54 international law. April 21st. Now it says on February 28th, again, remember the day we're talking about. the 28th was the day where the old foreign minister of Oman was speaking with corporate media that said peace is within reach. Iran is willing to give up its nuclear program, which is never done before. It's willing to give up its enrichment that it currently has, which never, like entirely, never done before.

Starting point is 01:58:18 Finally willing to do that. Honestly, I'm half wondering whether they were just calling the bluff, knowing that Israel wasn't going to accept that because they need to pretend they've got nuclear bombs to justify what they're doing. So my point is, on the 28th, they finally agreed to all of it. And that night, they were bombed by Israel and that started everything else since. Then there was a moment after that where they thought maybe Trump promised a reel in Iran or Israel.

Starting point is 01:58:40 My point is that every single time they have proven that they're not serious. Bombed Lebanon, blockade stayed there. Now, whatever you think about Iran, call them terrorists if you want. It doesn't change the reality of the legal, I mean, everything. From day one to this point, you can clearly see, even if you want to call them the evil terrorists of the world, that they're in the right in what they're doing, that what the U.S. is doing is an illegal war, that they've been defending themselves against these legal attacks, and have continued to maintain that, speaking with the U.N. I mean, guys, don't forget, they went to the U.N. before the 28th and said, look, we know they're planning to attack us. We have that we see what they're doing. And if they attack us, we are going

Starting point is 01:59:16 to respond to all the belligerents, all of the countries working with them. That was in the UN before the 28th. And then they bombed them, and then they attacked the people that were working with them legally belligerents and what they do, we told you they were going to attack everybody. It's like, they're just so bad at this that they have to basically do the evil thing and then let them react to it and then go, see, we told you they were going to do the thing, but you were claiming they were going to do it because they hate everybody. They did it to respond to your attack. In any case, don't forget the timing.

Starting point is 01:59:46 So on the 28th, they write, the United States launched Operation Epic Fury, which also shows you that they were wildly, and as they literally write in here, in line with Israel, and because Israel wanted this with a set of clear objectives. They write, obviously, very clear. And then think about this, even with what's happening right now. Here are the objectives to, quote, destroy Iranian offensive missiles. They failed. Destroy Iranian missile production.

Starting point is 02:00:10 They failed. Destroy Iran's Navy and other security infrastructure. They failed. Now, Robert was the one that reported this from TLAB about the underground, like cave tunnels they used to store their ships. and they put this out before we got here. So you could argue they lied about it, sure, but it doesn't seem logical of why they would lie about that before this ever came to pass.

Starting point is 02:00:33 Like basically the point would be they lie about it to argue they have more when they don't. It doesn't make sense they put it out beforehand. So the point is they were preparing for this, putting things underground, missiles, boats, the whole thing. And then on top of that, Trump says after three days, we took all their ships out, 50 of them, and then it became 60, then it became 80,

Starting point is 02:00:48 and then it became all in the first three days. Somehow the number changes. Now it's 158. All their Navy's gone, but then their Pentagon says they still have some. And then, of course, you see the images of their own ships taking other ships. But Trump still says the Navy's gone. How embarrassing.

Starting point is 02:01:02 So, la, every single thing, apparently, they failed. Weird how they don't mention the rest of it. And then it says, and finally ensure that they will never have nuclear weapons. Again, the point that we don't even need to get into again. The point of which their own intelligence show they didn't have that the IAEA said they did not have at the end of 20, like, well, like four months before this thing was written. didn't have it won't under safeguards because we confirmed it. And that is the 60% that they point to. 60% enriched 465 kilograms, about 1,000 pounds.

Starting point is 02:01:35 That's within Iran's agreement. It was publicly identified by the IAA before we ever got here. And when they sat down with Whitkoff, it was publicly addressed because it's a publicly acknowledged reality. Whitkoff then goes on Fox and says they bragged about the dangerous missile bombs and whatever stupid thing he said. and then it spun out. And then you just saw the White House post about how, on the 60 minutes clip,

Starting point is 02:01:58 about the 60% and how crimes and bombs they're making. I mean, how do we not see by now how either stupid or desperate this government is? In case you missed it, that was within their safeguard agreements and has been there. I mean, ever since Trump violated the JCPOA from there until now, before he violated the original deal in his first administration, they were held under 4%. once they removed it, they were legally allowed to increase that. That was the agreement.

Starting point is 02:02:25 Trump did that and then turned around and said, terrorism. You're doing the thing that we agreed you could do if I did this. Terrorism. The United States is engaged in this conflict at the request of and in the collective self-defense of its ally, Israel, as well as the exercise of the United States own and hair itself. Secondarily, though, you know, we're in this for Israel, but also because we want to. interesting way frame that but think about that at the request of Israel you realize that has been

Starting point is 02:02:56 screamed about not being true and they literally wrote that out and on top of that that's actually what Caitlin Jones on made a point about the White House put this out Israel never talked me into the war with Iran they scream and then of course they and then you wonder is this the military because this is coming from the State Department or rather you know somebody else like for example when you hear the, you wonder whether there's a military pushback in some cases, or in this case, the State Department kind of going, well, you know, I don't know, because this challenge is what he said. And they literally say that we did this because they asked at the request of Israel. Critics have argued that the United States combat operations are inconsistent with the UN Charter.

Starting point is 02:03:36 In truth, it says the United States is acting well within the law. Good argument. In truth, not true. Well, the reality is that's obviously not true. They are violating the law by every stretch of the imagination. What they argue is this. The legal assessment is grounded in facts, demonstrating Iran's malign aggression over decades. I can't even believe this is what I keep pointing out. How they don't do better at this. Particularly in Iran's escalatory attacks against the United States. Are you kidding me?

Starting point is 02:04:03 Escalatory attacks. Guys, they're literally referencing their legal response to a unilateral attack. And it says in others in the region for years, there's nowhere you're going to find that. Iran is not just bombing things for no... I don't even know of an example where Iran just bombed a country in my entire lifetime without there being a justification to do so, whether you agree with the legality or not. They got bombed, they bombed back in Iraq. They got bombed, they bombed back in Israel.

Starting point is 02:04:31 You show me where Iran is bombing in some random country for their own interest. It's not happening. And it says, and others in the region for years, which precipitated an international armed conflict that predated U.S. combat operations in February 28. and continues to this day. Now they go on to try to nuance this argument. At the end of the day, guys, how insane is that? But you're going to basically say because they're bad, they do bad things, and they've

Starting point is 02:04:59 been doing bad things, and so we have to do, that's not even illegal. That's why Robert Barnes made fun of it, the dumbest argument of self-defense, because there are, I mean, do they don't have lawyers? I don't understand it. There are very clear outlines for this, as we talked about. If there's an eminent threat, then you're allowed to respond. That's how the war powers act is trying that. and then even though your Congress doesn't care to do anything left or right, both the House and the Senate have not tried to have vote.

Starting point is 02:05:23 It basically came up and they all voted it down. But it's eminent threat would be one way. Congressional approval will be another. Authorization for use of military force like with Iraq would be a third. None of those things apply. The first two or the second two aren't there. The eminent threat has verifiably based on what they just wrote, not the case. Because it wasn't you were about to be attacked.

Starting point is 02:05:44 It was an ongoing things, bad things have been going on for a long time. I know that's what Israel and the U.S. keep saying, they're just hurting the world. They have to do something. But that doesn't meet a legal argument, guys. And maybe again, they just want to push us to a place to where the law doesn't even matter. Kind of feels that way. But if there's any justice, this will be, I mean, they'll be put in prison.

Starting point is 02:06:05 Because you literally just made the argument that proves that you did not have the legal justification. But our government doesn't care. And through that, the power structure that supports them doesn't seem to care. And just in case you want to get a little more frustrated about that, military.com, this came out on the 23rd. The emerging push from your government, America first, to extend some U.S. benefits to IDF soldiers. You know, it's not new. There's laws right now in this country that argue that IDF are treated just like U.S. military.

Starting point is 02:06:37 That's a fact. I already covered that. But let's keep pretending like there's nothing weird going on here, guys. No big deal. Yeah, but don't forget, Israel told you, this is your war. This is yours. But then we're doing everything together about decisions, Netanyahu just said. But we don't want.

Starting point is 02:06:51 America's war, he says. And only Americans are going to fight for it and die for it is the point we told you in the beginning and literally what's happening. But don't worry, we're going to give some benefits from you to U.S. IDF soldiers. But that's okay because, you know, they're our greatest ally, but don't we'll gripe about it half giving to people that the U.S. government kills in other countries or whatever other thing you don't like. Now, Iran on the 24th, rather the mission to the U.N. New York City points out the U.S. attacked and illegally seized Iran. commercial vessel, the Tosca, and the taking of its crew hostage in 19th of April in the Sea of Oman, while carrying critical dialysis supplies and medical equipment, constitutes a flagrant

Starting point is 02:07:32 breach of international law, including the preemptory prohibition of aggression, human rights and the right to life. This coercive and unlawful act in dangerous lives undermines freedom of navigation and places vulnerable patients at grave risk. The perpetrators must be held accountable. Now, from what I can tell, that's what this ship was. I'm not even seeing any indication that they're arguing otherwise. Trump and the rest have told you, we're going to go after any Iranian. We're going to bomb bridges and whatever else should we need to. They're not even trying to make it seem as if they care about international law.

Starting point is 02:08:05 So they're telling you, they just literally seize a ship that was about dialysis and medical treatment. That's a war crime, no matter what. This person writes, they seized this ship by the U.S. Navy carried, the Navy seized this, carrying dialysis supplies, and vital. medical equipment for Iranian civilians. Before the U.S. claimed as block A would not see stop ships that transported food or medicine. Well, that turned out to be a lie. They do that every time.

Starting point is 02:08:29 Our sanctions don't stop medicine. They literally prove every day that it is during last administration, for example, and Pompeo lied, and we could prove it, or with Yemen, or any number of things. Happens by design, guys. The Harvoo's letter points out, the Iran Supreme Leader on the 24th, about 1 p.m., has forbidden negotiations with the U.S. under current conditions. Arigachi will not meet Kushner and would cough, Pakistan.

Starting point is 02:08:53 The White House said minutes ago that Iran reached out and asked for us in person. Think about how stupid this is. Despite the 30 times it's already happened, it had 30 times plus that he's been embarrassed by it. He stands up and says, they want a deal. They're begging us for a deal. At that exact time, what Iran is saying is, you are violating everything.

Starting point is 02:09:11 We're not meeting you. You just seize one of our ships. Your blockade is still manipulating what's going on. We are not meeting you. and Trump goes, we'll see them there. It's like it's so wild what's happening. And here's Robert Barnes laughing at it. Leave it.

Starting point is 02:09:28 Iranians reached out. They asked for in-person talks. Witkoff, Kushner to depart tomorrow. Vanz, uh, leave it. Vance is to be standing by along with Trump and Rubio. Iran talks, hopefully productive. And he just says completely fake. Just to goose the markets before the close, it's what happens every time on Friday,

Starting point is 02:09:47 guys. Every time. Now, on the 19th, Iran has rejected talking to, you know, just talking with the U.S. So I said, well, Trump just said they're begging to make a deal like the day before. So, you know, I don't need to make this point. You guys already see it. But Phil's new.

Starting point is 02:10:07 There's no way to misunderstand that. If that was a true statement, then they would have been making a deal. They don't. So he lied. Pretty simple. Okay. on the 21st. Trump announces indefinite extension, right?

Starting point is 02:10:20 After he said, if you don't make a deal, war will continue. And then they don't. And he goes extended indefinitely. Embarrassing. I don't know how else you look at that. Like, it's not embarrassing because he wants to consider that he has restraint, for example,

Starting point is 02:10:35 which is not even close to the word you would use right now because that's not, you don't start with the, you know, you don't end like doesn't call restraint. That's weakness in any stretch of the imagination. If you start with restraint, that's strength. point is that, you know, if you start by saying, we're going to go to war, you don't do that, and then you don't follow through, that either shows you that you aren't capable of doing that or you're afraid of doing that, or, you know, that's weakness, guys, no matter how.

Starting point is 02:11:00 And I think that's crazy. And again, but I thought they were begging to make a deal. And on the 25th. Trump says, and now here, this is the point is that they met, or rather, as we just showed you to start, they went there. They flew out the whole thing. they apparently they were in Pakistan but they refused to meet them and so after they refused to meet them this is what trump put out nobody knows who's in charge including them which that's not true even

Starting point is 02:11:27 remotely they very clearly knows in charge and it's also we have all the cards obviously not they have none obviously not if they want to talk all they have to do is call right so it's demonstrates you have all the cards in control that you keep jumping back and forth and they keep turning you down. I mean, again, guys, why don't you lie better than this? You could just make up an entire story because this is clearly made up. And that either tells me he's being misled or this is what he's being told to say. Just opinion. I just, I just canceled the trip of my heart percent. You didn't cancel it. Again, this is so funny how clearly instead, so you go and you get stood up and instead of going, they didn't show, you go,

Starting point is 02:12:06 we already didn't even go. I'm done with. I didn't even want to be there. That's all. That's, I don't know. I'm just anyway. I can just see. this world where Trump is like so frustrated by the fact that it didn't happen that instead of just going like, you know, a leader would go, they don't want peace. I mean, isn't that an easy thing to do right there? They didn't show up. And that's not true, it seems. But at least that would give, that would work.

Starting point is 02:12:28 But instead you just go, well, we didn't even go in the first place. Well, we can prove you're not. You're lying. It shows you such a weakness, a, you know, not child. Like the point is like he's so insecure. That's the word. He can't be seen for the one that gets stood up. So he has to be the one that makes a.

Starting point is 02:12:44 sound like that. And this isn't the first time. Now, Iran's foreign minister leaves without meeting U.S. Envoy's. You really can't hide from this anymore, guys. Pakistan officials say, I'll include that, by the way, that goes all the way up the current. Now, in regard to some updates in general, and you already know most of this stuff. I mean, this is important. And whether NBC confirmed it or not, we've been telling you, and like drop site news and plenty of others from the very moment this started because you could prove it. NBC confirms for the first time what many of us already suspected or knew. The Iranian Air Force bombed U.S. bases in the opening phase of the war.

Starting point is 02:13:20 And not just bombed them, but basically appears as if they are winning. And as Glenn Greenwald writes, anyone who gets their news from the Iran war from sources outside of the Fox or neocons sewer of Sean Hannity, Ben Shapiro, already knows that Iran absolutely pummeled U.S. bases in multiple countries. The new reporting shows billions of dollars worth of damage and even cites a study from the neocon AEI for support. If you talk to any trustworthy U.S. officials, which to me none of them are, they'll give you the real story about the war, not just that Iran inflicted more far, more damage than known,

Starting point is 02:13:57 and that the U.S. government hid it, by the way, including the number and severity of the casualties, which should make you sick. Support the military and then hide when they sacrifice their lives for your evil agenda. And it says, but also that as happened in the last war with Iran in 2025, both the U.S. and Israel, and now the Persian Gulf dictatorships are very low on munitions and especially anti-missile defense systems. And this is why we're at an indefinite point, even though they're not really adhering to it. And Israel's trying to spin it out. I don't, I mean, I'm not going to even, I shouldn't even say winning or losing.

Starting point is 02:14:31 Because it doesn't seem as simple as that. But ultimately, it appears as if Iran is in a position of strength, at least in the long term, and that they cannot last this out, which is what worries me about some kind of a massive action because they're desperate. But I hope, I hope that they're not really to do that. And it just becomes an embarrassing moment for them. And this just goes and it slowly proceeds because it feels like that's where we are. But here's the sad part is that Israel will not stop what it's doing in Lebanon. And in fact, it won't stop what it's doing Iran. All of this is because of its agenda against Iran.

Starting point is 02:15:04 And I'll add to this duopoly destroyer makes a point here, which is worth considering. Now, I don't trust Kirby, but I think the point is valid, which is that as he all just hear what he said, He goes, as I've said since the beginning, this armada, staying deployed around the Strait of Hermose, was infeasible. Pete Hegseth is either incompetent or such a sycophant. He didn't have the balls to tell Trump that what any military mind would know to be true, which is ultimately, as Kirby writes, that the USS Gerald R. Ford, which has been deployed for 10 plus months, needs to get home.

Starting point is 02:15:34 And ultimately, they can't is the argument. And so they're kind of stuck keeping this thing out way past when it's supposed to be there. That's why we were hearing about the food issues and the bathroom. stuff. Clearly it seems that Trump doesn't want to reappear to be weak. So he's going to make them sit there way longer than they should. That's the argument anyway. I agree.

Starting point is 02:15:54 Barnes also points out as a lawyer, the reality of international law. And he says, Iran is not, or other he quotes it, but I agree, Iran is not violating international law by applying the regime of innocent passage in the Strait of Ramos, which, by the way, again, there's no international waters in that choke point.

Starting point is 02:16:09 It is Omani Waters and Iranian waters. That's it. So they have a legal right to do this like any other straight in the area, including which when they involve their regional allies, or rather just neighbors, which is what they've done. And it says particularly given its state of armed conflict with the United States, Israel and their allies, meaning if you care to go to a legal point, that what they're doing is legally sound. It doesn't matter whether you disagree. It's the fact. And you can see based on everything, how many lies are being spun by the administration who needs to justify what is so obviously

Starting point is 02:16:40 not in its or your interest. But America first. Jeremy Scahill adds his assessment of this. This is from yesterday. So he says some thoughts on the current state of play on Iran. The next 48 hours, going into 24 more hours from now, will tell us a lot about the diplomatic realities of the standoff with the wrong. There's no question he writes that it is the U.S. that is seeking direct talks right now.

Starting point is 02:17:05 See? Now, that's his opinion and rather what he's being told from his sources, but I agree with him. And I think that's very easy to see for, I mean, a thousand different reasons. And he says, not Iran. So the U.S. is the one trying to get this. Now, here's what I think is happening on that point alone. If that's the case, you have Iran who is in the position of strength and saying,

Starting point is 02:17:25 we are demanding those 10 points. You repay us for what happened. You give us the control of the straight. You support, you know, everything. All 10 points that Trump will look bad for, including giving them money. And they said that's what we want. If you don't want that, then stop talking to us. Because we're okay with the current situation.

Starting point is 02:17:43 Think about how problematic that is for the U.S. and Israel, especially since they're not actually closing the straight. Don't forget that. They're restricting it to people that they're adversarial with. The lie of the minds and everything else is coming from the U.S. and Israel pressuring them to not go through so the world pushes back against Iran. That's what I believe. I think the evidence backs that up.

Starting point is 02:18:01 So what the U.S. needs is essentially something, some kind of, you know, give from Iran to make it look like, they gained anything. Now, you could argue that Iran being what they've always shown might even just give Trump some kind of a bone to make him be able to go see. He'll go Iran's weak and we won, as always. But effectively, they would win and gain everything and ultimately not, right? But my point would be that's not what Israel's going to allow. Israel's going to keep going. We know that. Iran knows that. And so at that point, that I think is off the table like it might have been before because they know Israel is not going to stop. So now it becomes like they've added.

Starting point is 02:18:40 if we're going to stop this, this needs to be a UN, even though they don't care about it, it'll be more legal, a UN resolution that is signed by both of you and that is ratified by the UN, that you're done, that this won't happen. At least that's something. I doubt they'll do that. So the point is that the U.S. is the one going Iran. Let's talk. Let's talk.

Starting point is 02:19:01 And I think that's what's happening right now. They're trying to get something to where they can pretend they sort of didn't lose so they can put this away. And Iran is, you know, like I said, maybe considering some kind of. of leeway to get this to stop because I think they wanted to stop to ultimately but I doubt that'll happen the way Trump wants it to. Now just Tehran remains firm and its demands that the U.S. naval blockade be, I mean, obviously. I mean, isn't it funny how this turned out to be the NAEP, the U.S. blockade when their whole argument was that they're blocking the straight.

Starting point is 02:19:28 I told you guys, that's never been the case. They need this. So effectively, Trump is blocking the street because they won't stop and now he's going, everybody else help us stop them for blocking the straight, even though we're blocking it because they won't stop what they're doing. It's just, it's like his tariff thing. It's like what it does with everything else. The Democrats won't fund TSA. Well, hold on. You're the one that stopped everything because they want to support the Save Act.

Starting point is 02:19:50 But they're the ones that won't support the Save Act. So therefore, because I'm stopping that, they're the one stopping TSA. That's not how that works. Doesn't matter, though. Tell me, it's the same thing here. And he goes, if that happens, a formal second round of top level direct talks can happen. Iran says, if they remove the blockade. So now what you're dealing with is a situation where Iran is saying,

Starting point is 02:20:10 we come to the table and talk about our 10 points if you'll stop the blockade. Because as of right now, that's why they didn't meet this last time, because they refused to stop the blockade. So they were there, but they didn't do it. So they left. That's what this appears to be. So if they stop the blockade, even that moment will be Iran getting a win over Trump. And so I think that's why he's childishly not stopping the blockade,

Starting point is 02:20:32 even though it doesn't seem to help anybody. Now, says on Friday, the U.S. announced it would dispatch Whitkoff and Kushner to Islamabad to try to force the Iranians into a semi-formal talk while foreign minister Argi was in Pakistan. The Iranians have total disdain for Whitkoff and view him as both ignorant and diplomatic processes and totally worthless in his understanding of technical issues. How embarrassing. He's an Israel guy. That's the only reason he's there. Guys, same with Kushner, in my opinion. Kushner is viewed by Iran as Israel's man at the table. Iran does not see any reason to deal with these two without a figure like J.D. Vance present. Whether Ariragchi would predict,

Starting point is 02:21:06 participate in a meeting with them or proximity talks or some secret meeting is unclear, though Iran says for now it's not happening. Iran is not only focused on U.S. talks. It's also engaged in a parallel track of talks with the strategic allies, Russia, China, as well as Oman, a longtime mediator trusted by Tehran. Iran still believes it is likely the U.S. and Israel will resume the war and has indicated it has prepared new forms of retaliatory strikes and other actions, including the Strait of Formos.

Starting point is 02:21:35 Now, with what we just heard, if that's correct, think about what that changes in the mind of Trump. You know you can't take another one of those. You know you can't defend against less than you could before. If that's true. And that, I think, makes sense for why they have yet to push back in. Even though I think at the end of the day, they all kind of want that, or at least the one really driving it does. So in regard to Iran believes it's likely they'll resume. Oh, I wanted to point out that in the last round of talks, Iran, as it was leaving,

Starting point is 02:22:07 not this last one, but like before that, as it was leaving, apparently did all this different stuff and changed their routes because they got intelligence that Israel was going to bomb the plane. And who knows that's true? But why would we doubt that with everything else we've seen? So think about what if it had happened again? All these talks and more talks and more talks and finally they meet and then Israel bombs the plane on the way home.

Starting point is 02:22:26 I mean, what do you think would happen? They would still push. And I mean, but how, I mean, realize that it's already happened. How do we pretend like these people are honest actors who care about anything. they claim they care about when they murder the people in the room just because they go terrorists. Well, then why are you dealing with them in the first place? You know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 02:22:44 Like, it just doesn't add up. And everybody in the world can see this. Guys, I'm telling you. Now, Iran still believes it goes on to say, its military commanders have said, Ron, that while the U.S. has moved more military assets into the region during the ceasefire, silly, Tehran has also taken this period to prepare its own weapon systems for more fighting. Trump would be taking extreme risks.

Starting point is 02:23:07 scale rights, by relaunching the war and the immediate cost will be in the strait and the Gulf nations. Iran would also resume missile attacks against Israel, the global, and again, ask yourself right now, think about how crazy this is. And this has to show you what I'm talking about. Why wouldn't Iran be attacking the United States right now? I don't want that to happen. I'm glad it's not happening. But there's no legal reason why that's not happening. It's because Iran is showing restraint. It recognizes that would cause it, that would cause Trump, even, even more so to just belligerently and, you know, full of hubris, have to respond. And that would not be in Iran's interest because they don't want war.

Starting point is 02:23:46 I would argue. But doesn't it show you that? They're the terrorists that want to kill everybody for no reason, but they show restraint every chance it's given. They constantly try to walk these things back. They're constantly going to the UN. They're constantly, it's just so crazy. So ask yourself that if they were everything they've always been telling you, they want to

Starting point is 02:24:02 death to America, they want to take our freedom, why wouldn't they be bombing? They have a legal pathway. If they bomb the U.S. right now from a legal perspective, that would be allowed. Because the U.S. is, not in this moment necessarily, but has been bombing them directly. How does it not show you everything? The global economic situation would further deteriorate should it resume. And there is no indication more strikes will weaken the Iranian government. Exactly.

Starting point is 02:24:29 Tehran has made clear that capitulation isn't an option and the idea of a domestic uprising hoped for by the U.S. and Israel has never materialized. Remember all that live and hype about everybody's clamoring? And it wasn't about some crackdown. It just wasn't true, guys. The U.S. was caught completely off guard by Iran's ability to fight on both an asymmetric and symmetric basis. And Iran is likely to continue this pattern in the event of resumed attacks. Now, this could speak to the point of whether or not the Trump administration and the Netanyahu administration have somehow bought into their own propaganda about what Iran is.

Starting point is 02:25:03 Maybe just their year after year after year of just like diminishing. capacity, you know, whatever the dying empire is, that now these people believe there are a bunch of people in caves and ought to fight. Well, that's not true. Clearly, they didn't think, even though they've been telling you all these years they've been planning that they, I guess, weren't planning. Got to be some of the most incompetent people in the world, or this is Israel destroying the United States. You can decide. Now, here's why it read for Gray's own pointing out, he went to Iran, as a journalist should, talking to the people on the ground. here's what he had to say i guess there's a larger point coming out about this just a small clip

Starting point is 02:25:40 we're here in the outskirts of isfahan in the site of the most famous battle of the entire u.s israeli war on iran around me are the remnants of the u.s warplains which came according to the united states to rescue pilots according to the iranians that's not why they were here they say they were here to steal the enriched uranium to seize it and prevent iran from ever pursuing nuclear power or any type of nuclear program. But as you can see, the American Warplanes, which came here, never left.

Starting point is 02:26:15 I mean, think about that, guys, this is the whole point about faking that. I mean, I think we start, I mean, even we're getting to the point about today, about whether that was staged or going back to Butler. Like, are we really at this point where we can't recognize the consistency of what's going on? Whatever you think that means. They, I mean, they either made up a story about a lost pilot in order to try to fake this, or they literally let a pilot die or made him get lost in order to justify this operation. Either way you look at it, there's the three options that makes sense.

Starting point is 02:26:44 That's horrifically disgusting. Using your concern for somebody, I mean, remember the AI image they used. They used an AI image that the governor of Texas posted and said, oh, this is amazing. And it was supposedly the pilot that came home. I mean, I don't know why they thought we would fall for that. And so here we are where the pilots, the planes were destroyed. and they brought planes that were way too big and the whole thing. Trump tried to marshal this into something and they wasted American lives to do this,

Starting point is 02:27:11 spent billions of dollars to do this and Iran got the better of them, it appears. And we realized that never went anywhere else. This is my point of all these stories is there would be more to that story if that was what he said it was. No, they just can't get away from it fast enough. Think about it. And we never seem to get any follow up accountability, even from the other side of the paradigm. Wonder why that is. Because this is a huge deal.

Starting point is 02:27:33 And I think the evidence speaks for itself. The program, but as you can see, the American Warplanes, which came here, never left. They came to Isfahan, and in Isfahan, they will stay. How do you make sense of that? So then apparently they never rescued anybody? That's what that would show, guys. I mean, it's chilling to think about the level of dishonesty, the dark, malicious nature of what they're doing. Now, as he wrote, I came to Iran to show you.

Starting point is 02:28:05 what the mainstream refuses to show you. I'll be releasing this. He'll be releasing this coming in the coming days. I was posted on the 25th. Now, I'll include this, by the way, my interview with Peter Sentinel from a long time ago, 2019. The truth about Iran and its sharp contrast

Starting point is 02:28:19 with the mainstream narrative. Now, the same kind of idea. He traveled through, was just him and a camera. Wasn't anybody with him? And running's love Americans, guys. I don't know how many times I can tell you that. It's weird to me with everything going on in the world,

Starting point is 02:28:33 since there's a lot of negative sentiment from, you know what i argue are misguided americans in the sense of just irrational hatred just like the people that feel that way about jews or muslims or anything the point though is that clearly we don't understand we're like to about so many things about this and robert's been trying to call attention to that his entire life so just watch this if you understand all the back then you know he just he went there with an open mind and and what he saw was very different than what the media was showing now deciding whether with time it's only about two and a half I'm trying to decide if I want to just put this off till tomorrow,

Starting point is 02:29:08 which I want to get into this in depth and I don't want to feel like I'm rushing, but I will talk about this. But Robert did a great job on this article. And it just kills me. Like it actually made me like sad when I read this article because one, how clear it is and how it is just the same thing over and over. And such an obvious lie, such obvious dishonesty and genocide, guys, that's what this is.

Starting point is 02:29:33 This is genocide. It's ethnic cleansing against the Shia community. And more than that, by the way, but the focus, how, I mean, I'll let me go through this for a second, then I'll make that point. Like the idea of comparison there. What does it sound like in the world? I mean, isn't Israel the one saying they hate us because they're Jews and there, people are attacking Jews because they're Jews?

Starting point is 02:29:52 Yeah, it does happen. Well, then explain for me why it's okay for Israel to attack people's communities because they're Shias. They believe in a certain ideology. No different. what's a difference? They're attacking that person because of their belief and they're Jewish. Okay, they're attacking this person because of their belief in their Shia.

Starting point is 02:30:10 Okay, what's a difference? It's not the exact same thing. Now, what's even worse is that Israel is now attacking people who choose to give them places to stay, not because they're terrorists, but because they're Shia, communities, families. And they're fleeing from what they're doing in Lebanon. And then Christian, Drews are letting them stay in their homes. And then Israel bombs those homes. 100% proven, guys, this is an entirely documented discussion.

Starting point is 02:30:33 from multiple platforms across the international media, hundreds and homes and hospitals, just like everywhere else. It just makes me sad that it doesn't get, how does this not get stopped? Anyway, so I'm thinking we will get into this in depth tomorrow. I do think that I want to make sure I'm just going to look at the title real quick, make sure I didn't make it too explicit in the title.

Starting point is 02:31:02 Yeah, well, you know, I will go through it here. Let me see. I don't want to read the entire. my plan was to read it to you and kind of take the time to go through it and then plan to be as long today but what i'm thinking is i'll read this more tomorrow sorry i'm deciding i'm deciding right now let's just go through it don't you love don't you love i'm sure you all knew i was going to do that uh it's funny i laugh at myself okay now sorry it's not a good time to laugh it's a terrible story but it's just funny how i go through this this this process of like whether or not you know what it all

Starting point is 02:31:37 comes down to you guys, and I know most of you don't care. I don't want it to be as long as these shows end up being. I just think this stuff's important, and I think that it's important to, you know, go into these things in depth. Stop, screw it. Let's go through this. So, Robert puts this out today. And so this is where this came about, one of these, this is one of these images that I

Starting point is 02:31:55 used that's apparently AI. And so the point is, of what we discussed earlier, you know, is if I, if I already use some other images, it gives the opportunity for somebody to try to come after me. And they are. Like it's being weaponized against me. If it comes to another head where it has to be dealt with, I'll bring it up again. But like I said,

Starting point is 02:32:13 the beginning of the show, it's not slowing down. And it's just, it's, it's weaponized. So using these is something, it helps sidestep that, you know,

Starting point is 02:32:21 which is, it's a difficult thing. It's a, it's a, it's something that I definitely see as a problem as well, you know, but either way, it's something that,

Starting point is 02:32:29 if you don't, we didn't watch the beginning, watch what we talked about the beginnings. I think it's an important conversation to be having, you know, and asking this, but what, what,

Starting point is 02:32:35 what lines are drawn for who and what, you know, like I can talk about with all the different things that we talk about today with, I mean, I think Amazon was one of the points I use. Like these things that we could, I argue it's a, it's a villain in the conversation, like what they're doing.

Starting point is 02:32:49 But I'm willing to bet you that most everybody out there is using that for some reason or another and will criticize some for using something that they don't like, you know, whereas in my life personally, I try to box every one of these things out because I feel like I don't want to support them. But then am I being a hypocrite here? You know,

Starting point is 02:33:03 it's a difficult choice. I argue that it's worth standing back and thinking about in depth about whether or not a researcher, for example, which I do not do, using AI bots to rapidly find things faster than anybody else. And then maybe even they do due diligence and make sure it's all correct. Like, I personally don't want to use GROC or anything else to guide you because even if it's given you actual information, I know that there's nuances in there that your mind will pick up on, that it sort of channels you in certain ways. So I, like, aggressively avoid using those things for research tools. I use it in cases where I think it'll make a comparison point, you know. Oh, anyways, I always can pull. I find this to be an important conversation.

Starting point is 02:33:42 I'll leave it there. I really hope people can continue to flush this out and talk about it because our lives seem to be going this way no matter what. And in fact, I'll end with a point somewhat about this. But, Robert's article from today, Israel's plot to turn Lebanon into a failed state may backfire enormously. Let me play this really quickly and I'll be right back. This starts, and it's really fascinating to go back. It starts in 1996 with Netanyahu, who wrote a book called Fighting Terrorism.

Starting point is 02:34:13 And the thesis of the book is quite straightforward and very dangerous. He says, you know, there's Hamas, there's Hezbollah, they oppose Israel. It's not good for us to fight them directly. That won't work. What we need to do is topple the governments that back them. So what we need is regime change throughout the Middle East. And he actually gave a long list of seven countries that included Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, and Lebanon. And systematically, the United States has done Netanyahu's business.

Starting point is 02:35:00 for almost 30 years now going to war with every one of them, except for the big one that Netanyahu so much longs for, which is the war directly between the United States and Iran. Okay. So it's entitled Israel's plot to turn Lebanon to a failed state may backfire enormously. So this is really about mostly the kind of Gaza agenda, a rather model. But, but, but the point towards the end is about whether or not this could, you know, and it stems from the kind of thing we're seeing that most people don't support this. So this may have kind of hurting them in the long run. I certainly hope so. Now, it says, despite agreeing to a 10-day, well, Israel's plot to turn Lebanon to a failed state is decades in the making, but the methods with which it is now aiming to do so

Starting point is 02:35:54 are new and frightening. If Israel continues on its current trajectory, the Gaza strategy may be enacted on a Lebanese population, which is much larger in size, in addition to an attempt to attempt to so civil war. Despite agreeing to a 10-day temporary ceasefire on April 16th, the Israeli military has continuously, damn it, I want, I move my mouth, so don't refresh it on me. There it goes. Sorry for the podcast. Continuing, I'm trying to do that. The Israeli military has continuously violated the troops by launching constant artillery attacks advancing further into the south of the country, where its forces, main task has been demolishing civilian homes and infrastructure. Now, this is not even secret.

Starting point is 02:36:38 I mean, you have IDF members posting videos blowing up entire villages. Ask yourself how this is still happening. We're not even pretend. Remembering gods that they were at least pretending? They don't even care. I just, this has to show you some massive shift in even the international community right now. Like, that's insane to me. I mean, they're purposely doing this. Within of the so-called ceasefire, Israel published a warning to residents of the South that they cannot return to their homes. Just like in Gaza, there's a violation there and could become potential targets if they do. This was specifically addressed to those attempting to cross the Latani River area. In total, around 1.3 million people have been displaced. Why is that okay? As a result,

Starting point is 02:37:22 now, realize they're not calling every Lebanese person a terrorist, so why does this make sense to anybody? As a result of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, the majority of whom are the majority of whom are from a Shia community within the country. Israel has developed a strategy that involves threatening every single majority Shia area inside Lebanon, including the southern suburbs of Beirut. In the south of Lebanon, Israel has illegally occupied what it claims are some 55 villages and the surrounding areas. Like publicly talked about this.

Starting point is 02:37:53 Yet the actual number is well over 70. But you're publicly telling us we're just occupying villages. if there was any international community, any law whatsoever, this would not continue. It's blatant. It's like, I mean, you take any other blatant example. Any other thing that's breaking the law. I mean, you're shooting somebody point blank in the head in front of a crowd of people and going, that's not murder walking away.

Starting point is 02:38:17 We're not even caring to talk about it. Everyone sees it and we all just turn away and walk away. You cannot deny what this shows you. That means everybody in that crowd, everybody watching, anybody who knew about it, chose to ignore it or that there isn't law in the first place. That's what we're watching right now. Israel's publicly doing this in, you know, objectively illegal fashion. In these areas, which Tel Aviv is calling its new buffer zone,

Starting point is 02:38:42 the Israeli military has moved quickly into villages using heavily armed vehicles, demonstrating little concern for civilian casualties, while attempting to avoid clashes with Hezbollah, you know, because they're totally brave. Their intention is to occupy key buildings from which they coordinate the illegal detent uh excuse me detonation of entire civilian neighborhoods realistically the so-called buffer zone does not provide any of the alleged security benefits the Israeli government claims that it seeks this is pure shameless occupation shameless and no one seems to care maybe Craig murray and uh now blanking on some of the names that you know Sarah abdala like people that constantly talk

Starting point is 02:39:23 about this, rightly so, but, or Rania, call it, or what's her last name? You know, people that are Lebanese or care about this, but they're few and far between. It's just so frustrating, whether Gaza or not, that these things don't get truly discussed. At least, you know, Gaza was forced in because of independent media, but even though we all knew it was happening, it still didn't stop. And it's still ongoing, by the way, which will point out at the end. Occupy key buildings from which to detonate entire areas. Now, let's just even say the buffer. zone, right? So they're fighting terrorism is what they try to generally say. You have to understand a point here is this is not some like, well, I'm disputing that they're

Starting point is 02:40:05 fighting terrorism or whatever it is. I am, but that's not the point. It doesn't matter if every single thing they say is true, important to hear this. If every single thing they say is true, Hezbo, terrorism, Iran's there, whatever. Everything they say is true, it still does not change the fact that what they're doing is a crime. It's the same point for Gaza. You can't bomb an entire building full civilians and go, but terror. and act like that suddenly changed international law. It doesn't. They're breaking the law.

Starting point is 02:40:33 And their intention is to occupy these key buildings. And it says, oh, yeah, and Khezbo still possesses the capability to fire upon the northern Israeli settlements that Israel claims to be defending by operating in Lebanon. So effectively, they're not, either don't care about that

Starting point is 02:40:49 or they're relying about their ability. This has drawn outrage, of course, from Israelis in these illegal communities. Instead of providing security, the operation has driven out nearly the entire population in these southern villages in order to destroy their homes and ethnically cleanse them permanently. Every single part of it is a crime. Another element of the Zionist strategy has been to attempt to divide the population along sectarian lines while displacing Shia Muslims. And I've told you this for years about the Shia, the, excuse me, the Sunni-Shia divide. And the reality here of Sunni,

Starting point is 02:41:26 Wahhabi, Saudi Arabia is the foundational element of basically every terrorist group we talk about for the most part with ISIS al-Qaeda. And funny, how they always want to go leading state sponsor of terrorism, even though that's Shia and Iran, the point is that ultimately the side that seemed to be connected

Starting point is 02:41:45 to all of it are the ones that they all work with, all of their allies, all the people and including the U.S. and Israel themselves who literally created and funded and moved these groups around. It's amazing how obvious all of this is. And so here we have them literally targeting the Shia Muslims. It is a religious war. And this is the whole religious, prophetic, all of this stuff, and they're the ones doing it while claiming everybody else hates them for their religion, which doesn't seem to be the reality.

Starting point is 02:42:10 The goal is to force other communities to turn away Shia civilians, seeking refuge, not monsters and terrorists, but women and children fleeing from their illegal bombs, thereby creating sectarian hatred. They did this in Rwanda. they do this everywhere, guys, and this is not even a joke. It's not even some hyperbolic point. This is something in Bosnia. Like, this is what Israel and Zionism more specifically have done. Israel was involved in the Rwand to genocide. It's not a question mark.

Starting point is 02:42:42 It's a hundred percent verifiable. It's, look at a Wikipedia, if you care. But you'll still get called racist. People will still deny it because you're not allowed to think that about the insane, whatever you want to call what Zionism and Israel are today. So what we did here, as if you want to look into it and watch the show is that they divided these people along their ideological lines and sided with one and said, yeah, that's just like us.

Starting point is 02:43:04 Like we're dealing with Palestinians, that's like you guys and what you're dealing with. Arm them, oozy's and machetes, very documented. So in this case, what they're doing is bombing Shia communities and then creating a divide between them with other, like every other element within the area and stopping them from helping them. So it creates this ongoing divide. even if it's not because they hate them, but because they don't want to be killed by Israel.

Starting point is 02:43:30 It's just, for example, on April 6th, an Israeli strike targeted the Anasada area east of Beirut, which at Beirut is, you know, massive civilian populated. And it killed a person named Pierre Mowad, a local official that's with the Lebanese forces, which, by the way, is a Maronite Christian political party that is staunchly opposed to Hezbollah. Now, if you're wondering why that makes sense,

Starting point is 02:43:56 Well, the strike was carried out because Christians in the area were sheltering, displaced Shias, which shows you they care not about any of them, whether Lebanese, Christian, or anything. What they care about is what they hate. And they'll kill you two if you get in the way, right? So predictably, as a result of the attack, which the Israelis claimed was, of course, a mistake, and that they sought to target the Shias in the area, which is a crime anyway, members of the Lebanese forces party began their own attempted, attempted Shia sectarian purge. So who's to say whether they hate them?

Starting point is 02:44:26 or not. The point is they began this effort to purge Shias from the areas because they knew that if they were there, that Israel would bomb their homes. And so some Christian areas even began running regular patrols to make sure that displaced Shias, suffering random people, would not enter their neighborhoods and put their families at risk. So this is what you get from monsters like this, is they turn people into monsters simply out of self-preservation because they're willing to murder your family. groups of Israeli citizens have also been calling for the establishment of settlements in southern Lebanon. This point continues to blow my mind. With some providing detailed plans, while others have protested along the borders and sought to begin constructing settlement outposts.

Starting point is 02:45:10 Here's BM pointing this. I guarantee there are people that will act like this is hyperbolic or fake or some kind of propaganda. You can show Ben-Gavir and Smotr to the rest at conferences where they're pointing to billboards with all of this on it. where they're literally going, we can't wait to take over Lebanon. We can't wait to put these very things in Gaza. This, by the way, is an image of the location in Lebanon with Hebrew names where they're going to put their settlements. This is posted September 24th, 2024.

Starting point is 02:45:43 2024. Oh, by the way, just so happens to be the place that they're bombing and fighting terrorism in the exact location that they talked about taking in 2024. What a coincidence. literally posted this and their new logo for their movement for settlement in southern Lebanon. So what it is? That's the logo. The outpost strategy mirrors what the Israelis do in the West Bank.

Starting point is 02:46:12 You know, the illegal thing they do there. When they seek to steal Palestinian lands, they arrive in the area without the government's explicit approval so they can pretend that they're not involved, they live in mobile homes and receive the backing of the occupying army to live there illegally. Meaning the army, despite pretending they're not involved, will come there and shoot. at people trying to take their land back. I've played videos myself, executing a grandmother in front of their family because she dared to step up

Starting point is 02:46:36 when they were telling them they were there illegally. And of course, here's Mel, showing you also totally coincidental where Apple just so happened to ethnically cleansed in a digital sense, all of the labels on the land that just so happened to be exactly where they were planning to put the Hebrew settlements.

Starting point is 02:46:55 I mean, guys, I'm obviously remaining objective, but you cannot miss what this does. This is, if you were trying to pretend out there, this is totally not exactly what it looks like, you can fill in the blank. I mean, come on. You know, seriously, like, I think it's worth being objective to say,

Starting point is 02:47:12 of course it could be coincidence, because it could. Not what I think. I think it's obvious what we're watching. Now, the Israeli government is refusing to back down from its declared intention of seizing a large portion of southern Lebanon. Yeah, that's where we are now. Just not because a bad guy.

Starting point is 02:47:33 Just we're taking it because, you know, we have bad things in the world that we're fighting. So we can seize whatever we want. Don't forget, Israel said that legally many times. We can legislate and see a land anywhere in the world. Justifying land grab, Israel says it's allowed to ignore international law anywhere it wants. And before you go, oh, that's that site. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Starting point is 02:48:03 Yeah, here is the link directly to the Hebrew post directly from the Knesset. where they openly say this. Hold on, it's right here. Here. And it isn't Hebrew, but you could double-check it for yourself. The Knesset has no limitation, which prevents it from legislating extraterritorially anywhere in the world. And so the point where they were making is, well, because the argument was about whether they can take land in West Bank. Multiple people in the government stood up and said, are you kidding me?

Starting point is 02:48:41 We can take land anywhere. Why would we not be able to take it right there? That's me paraphrasing. They said, the government of the Israel has no limitations which prevented from stealing land anywhere in the world, including in the West Bank. That was his argument. Although the Knesset can legislate any place in the world, although it's entitled to violate sovereignty in foreign countries through legislation that will be applied to events occurring in their territories, that's the government of Israel, saying that in 2020 and 2018. I don't know how many times you can bring these things up. You know, it's just crazy.

Starting point is 02:49:15 I will. I'll continue to because it's still being suppressed and censored like anybody else making good points. So the Israeli government is refusing to back down from its declared intention of seizing land. So my point was they're just going, we're taking it. We're not even trying to pretend otherwise. And that's what they've always thought.

Starting point is 02:49:30 Soon after the ceasefire was announced, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Tel Aviv had, quote, not yet finished the job in Lebanon, as we told you. So Iran made it clear. Lebanon is part of this, no matter what you want to say Trump. And so they, unless are able to get Netanyahu to stop the war in Lebanon, which they'll never stop, then they'll never have a deal with the U.S.

Starting point is 02:49:53 Interesting where that's going, right? So what this becomes clear, as we now know that they fought at the request of Israel, as even Rubio told you, and that we now know Netanyahu tricked Trump into many ways, lied to about this, and now pushed back and said it's your war, keep fighting it for me. It's clear that Netanyahu gets to decide when it stops. one of the primary tactics at play is to use the current Lebanese government, headed by the prime minister and the president, to drag the nation into a catastrophic civil war. Neither of these politicians was elected by the people.

Starting point is 02:50:28 Think about that for a second. With everybody else we're talking about, that's why Hezbollah supports the people. The people support Hezbollah by and large because they rose up in response to what is taking place in their country. It's as if Republicans rose up to fight the nation. legal occupation of their government, and then became an insurgency which fought for the reinstitution of the American government. You can see a world in which that takes place. And would they be the terrorists? So what we're talking about in the circumstance is the

Starting point is 02:50:54 U.S. Israeli manipulation of their government. And these people were not elected by the Lebanese people. Hezbollah fights for them, whatever you think about them or not, whether you think that they do the right thing or not, that's what their stated objective is. And they're not going anywhere else of Lebanon. And it says instead, they were internally selected and were the U.S. government's top picks. That's who's running the country. And even then, they get bombed by Israel should they step in the wrong direction. Instead of addressing Israel's war crimes in Lebanon, the Lebanese government, of course, the same one we just told you, the same one that just got bombed because they didn't go in the right place. They have pursued direct negotiations with Israel to achieve normalization deals, right?

Starting point is 02:51:35 Because that makes sense. You know, despite around 2,300 of their own innocent people having been killed, not Hezbollah, Lebanese people with, which are one of the same. My point is that this is specifically people in Lebanon, not Hezbollah. Of course, ambulances, schools, churches, mosques, medical clinics, all of which is publicly documented. You can't deny it. And other civilian infrastructure being targeted. The U.S. back leaders in Beirut are spending their time posing as brave for standing up against Hezbollah, the one group that's actually defending the country. last August, the Lebanese government adopted a plan sent to them by the U.S. to disarm Hezbollah.

Starting point is 02:52:15 They are now aggressively attempting to implement that plan, while the commander of the Lebanese army is the only thing standing in their way. The Lebanese army. Now, before I go further, recognize what that's telling you, though. Lebanese government adopted a plan to disarm them, and they're now attempted to do so. That's before all this. So what that shows you is that the U.S. put the plan to the Lebanese government for them to do what they're doing, now, Israel's fighting it right now, but that's both of them involved. So Trump is well aware that this is one arm of what they're doing. Men, of course, what's causing them some problems is the

Starting point is 02:52:50 commander of the Lebanese army, not Hezbollah, has stood up. The current head of Lebanese army has vowed not to order his men to go after Hezbollah. Now, why would he do that? Because he's not stupid. He recognizes Hezbollah actually fights for the country, and which it appears he wants to as well. My opinion. And it says, while the Israelis are attacking and invading the country, he's He will not stand up against Hesblood. A stance that has triggered Lindsay Graham, of course, to call for his ousting. Think about how crazy that is. Lindsey Graham's going, get rid of that guy over there and their government and their military

Starting point is 02:53:22 because we're totally not involved in their process. It's just, we are so broken. It's insane. It's not laughable. I just like, you know, laugh and cry kind of a thing, guys. It's we can fix this. We can save this. And hopefully we can save it where we go away from government in general.

Starting point is 02:53:37 but just recognize how obvious it is and it's bad. Commander Heichol likely knows that if the army is ordered to violently go after Hezbole's weapons, not only will the group bite back, as it's more powerful than Lebanese army. They all know that, right? They want this to be collapsed and destroyed, but a very large percentage of the armed forces are likely to break ranks and side with Hezbollah. Therefore, the Israeli plot would have to include contingencies, such as using Lebanese forces, militias,

Starting point is 02:54:05 and perhaps the Syrian militant groups loyal to Damascus, meaning the terrorist groups they run it right now across the border as well. The group of the group, excuse me, the goal of whipping up sectarian tensions inside the country has been crucial to this. As has been shown repeatedly, the Israelis will also implement their infamous the Hague doctrine. Otherwise no one is mowing the lawn. That is, they will indiscriminately carpet bomb entire residential buildings to the ground.

Starting point is 02:54:32 It's literally a policy that they have. this is precisely what happened in Beirut, less than 24 hours after the Iran-US East fire was declared. I said the same. It's the obvious reality and was one of the reasons why it didn't happen. And Trump was like, we're going to make a deal. And they're begging for it. And they're like, we're done already. It's off.

Starting point is 02:54:52 And that's what happened. Where the Israeli Air Force killed around 300 civilians in only 10 minutes. If such bombing raids are repeated more frequently, the casualty count in Lebanon could rise to tens of thousands. Tel Aviv also has a history of sowing such large-scale death and destruction across Lebanon well before October 7th while targeting a specific civilian population, as it did during the 1982 War of Aggression. At the time, Israel killed around 20,000 Palestinians and Lebanese. The Israelis also targeted Palestinians in a similar way to how they target Lebanese Shias

Starting point is 02:55:29 today, attempting to stir animosity and division among communities in the hope that this will turn into armed conflict. That was arming Hamas to divide the Palestinian people, something they still will not acknowledge, and that does not either way invalidate the act of legal armed resistance of the Palestinians. This, and to be clear, that didn't go all, I mean, the point is it's not as easy as saying everybody in Hamas was working for Israel, but there were funding. And I've talked about this with Vanessa Bealey and plenty of others who have a very nuanced view of it and push back on the idea that Israel just funds Hamas. Because I do agree, it's more nuanced than that, but you can't deny that. Robert and myself done the same thing.

Starting point is 02:56:09 Tel Aviv also has a history of selling such large-scale destruction. The Israelis also targeted Palestinians in a similar way. I just read that attempting to stir animosity. It says this may all appear appetizing to the Israelis who have openly been speaking about sparking civil war in their Hebrew language media, which is always the case. I always tell you that, although it could enormously backfire if they're not careful. I mean, right now they're saying there that we want this while, Clay, over here, they're fighting to stop it.

Starting point is 02:56:37 You know what I mean? And you can see this. They do it every time. The Israeli media says the thing we're not supposed to hear over here. And it says during the temporary ceasefire, Hezbollah managed to adapt, waging a guerrilla-style war on the occupying army in retaliation for Israeli truce violations. Not much. We're not hearing that much.

Starting point is 02:56:53 And if a civil war is to be encouraged, the potential repercussions could involve Hezbollah taking over the entire country. Not my Israel wants, but maybe to justify ongoing war, who knows? while the ground invasion may become so costly that it forces Israel to retreat once again, as they did in 2000. I mean, think about that too, like the constant engaging and retreating, and yet you still maintain occupation. The maximum they could hope to achieve is Lebanon's collapse,

Starting point is 02:57:20 meaning a flood of refugees will arrive in Europe, and the country will end up like Libya or Syria. And what will happen? They'll turn right around and blame the Muslims like Lumer will do no matter what. look at them taking on and running every one of the points they make are because of the same situations Libya and Syria and any one of them you could point to Iraq they cause this and I argue by design Israel's causing this by design as they tell you we need to flood the west with immigration to bring on the end times that's publicly stated by rabbis and politicians alike I've played the videos

Starting point is 02:57:55 myself and even then people go that's crazy choose to be ignorant it's up to you it's in your face right now. And on here, saying they will, you know, what this could create could cause the flood of refugees once again, which they will use to justify what they do. And the U.S. will use to justify their immigration actions they're doing now. And this is although it appears this will not be the outcome. Instead, Hezbollah will continue to resist, meaning Israel will be more predisposed to lashing out at civilians after failing militarily. As almost, I mean, you look for yourself. How often he will make these arguments based on the evidence, and this is what will happen and you don't see represented almost anywhere in the real conversation.

Starting point is 02:58:37 I shouldn't say, I mean, in the, I meant the real information in the mainstream conversation. Add that for you. All right. Now just to general, a couple more points on Lebanon and Gaza to finish, as Rania Kotak, that was their name. This is what they call a ceasefire on 24th. You already know all this, though, just to give you some visual evidence. I mean, they're just continually bombing locations while they're supposed to be in a ceasefire. South Lebanon being uttered. destroy the humanitarian disaster. 1.2 million people, including 400,000 children displaced. No, it's not Gaza. It's also happening in Gaza. It's now also happening in Lebanon.

Starting point is 02:59:15 How the world allows this, I will never know. And again, the removal of these all include the actual tweets for you to look at outside of the article, so you can see it for yourself. Now, to finish in general, this is happening in Israel, guys. This is April 25th. Thousands protest Netanyahu government and television. Eve with hungry election inspired. Oh, that's funny. The title updated. I've shown it all the time.

Starting point is 02:59:44 It basically says, you know, they're frustrated with their government. They're protesting. And what it said before was about October 7th. Yeah, it's not worth it. The point is, and there's been many of them. I was going to try to find the archive, which doesn't seem to be working today. I think it's gone. It's been doing this for a while now, like a couple days.

Starting point is 03:00:06 Archive, the rest. They know that's something they want to take away. Anyway, the point in this for the podcast is the thousands are protesting because they want to investigate at October 7th. That's what this was about. Oh, yeah, and you can still see it right there. Inquiry on October 7th massacre. The point is that Israelis are screaming about now whether or not they want the genocide to continue or not, they know that Israel let it happen to them. I mean, it's like with the Trump assassination conversation, I'm pretty sure we can all just put that to bed.

Starting point is 03:00:35 I don't think anybody actually reckoning. You can look at his ear for yourself, okay? You can look at this for yourself. You can recognize all of the evidence that even the IDF members are admitting. And stop listening to the Ben Shapiro's and Levens and the left versions of them. They do the same thing and they'll lie you as far as they can. Israelis know they were lied to. Amir points out the fact that 260 journalists have been killed in Gaza.

Starting point is 03:00:59 And that's just no big deal to most people. It's insane how that continues to happen still in Lebanon as well. Gaza was leveled, as you know. and even now, even though it's leveled the ground, they have snipers on hills, just waiting to shoot anybody they see. Philip Proudfoot posted this. And this is Israeli taking this video.

Starting point is 03:01:22 And they're talking about, I mean, I could play the video again from a long time ago where they're cheering about shooting that child. This is not new. Just acknowledge that it's happening. Now, on the 20th of April, this is posted,

Starting point is 03:01:35 the men have school, tragedy, victims, families, Pope Leo to be the voice of their voiceless children. Call for peace. And then Israel bombs those families. I'm not kidding. Families of Iranian children killed in school, airstrike, pen letter to Pope. Oh, I'm sorry.

Starting point is 03:01:53 I thought that said, I couldn't get this to unlock, and now I just read it again. Anyway, they pen the letter for the killed her children. The point, though, overall, this is funny, actually. I tried to get this to unlock earlier with that archive and the way back machine, and it just wouldn't do it. I really wanted to read through this.

Starting point is 03:02:09 In any case, I just misread it. Families of Iranian children killed in school airstrike pen letter to Pope. Overall, the continuing point here, guys. I mean, we talked about this when it first started. They murdered 165, 175, depending on you listen to children that Heggseth literally posted the map of. We know that. Everyone's proven that. The families are reaching out of the Pope.

Starting point is 03:02:33 Everyone can see Israel blamed the United States. not only has there been zero action, nobody's doing anything about it. Now, the left, not the media, as I always show you, if these were adversarial and they wanted to kill Trump to matter what or take him down, wouldn't they be talking about this?

Starting point is 03:02:51 No, because they don't. They're not actually fighting him. Kenneth Roth points out, Israel continues to impose its apartheid and occupied Palestinian territories by dividing the West Bank into more and more tiny pieces. It just never stops.

Starting point is 03:03:04 The West Bank is not Gaza. either. And that's illegal. Even Trump said, I don't want him to take the West Bank after giving them the West Bank. Just simply trying to make you think he doesn't want it. They're allowing this. Every government of every left and right administration has allowed this to continue. I'm sure you can piece together why at this point. Now, to end, now this is a part about technocracy to a degree, but you must see how this all interconnects. As Palantir is using their technology to actually facilitate the genocide in Gaza and everywhere else, by the way, as they build their security apparatus around your lives right now.

Starting point is 03:03:43 Beef Initiative says USDA just handed Palantir, as I already told you, by the way, I think I was using this tweet before. Oh, no, this is 17 hours ago. I'm pretty sure we already reported this. The company that built ISIS deport. Yeah, we reported this already. I think this is from, anyway, the point is,

Starting point is 03:04:01 handed Palantir, the company that built ISIS deportation center, a sole source $300 million contract to consolidate every farmer's federal data into one profile. One farmer, one file. One surveillance contractor. No competitive bid. As Robert Barnes says, Trump has made the swamp even swampier than ever before.

Starting point is 03:04:24 Make the swamp great again in his presidency. It's funny how hard people turn, even though this stuff was just as obvious in the first few months of the administration, my opinion, anyway, and they were, you know, give it time. But I'm glad to see him call it out. But just recognize where we actually are, guys, and what this all means and how everything connects back to, you know, pretty clear central agendas taking place in the world right now. So I'm going to end with this clip.

Starting point is 03:04:50 R.E.K. here made this, at least is what it appears to be the first place I could find it. And Palantir put this out. You might have seen it already. They're technological, technological republic. It's terrifying. You have Teal's manifesto. I mean, guys, this is the, Great reset. This is the transition. This is the network state agenda. I'll include that. Or any number of examples of, you know, I mean, the great reset is the best because it applies to a lot of different things. They call this tech Zionism. That's the freedom cities, smart cities, 15-minute cities. It's all the same point. Pernamos Capital, Peter Thiel. All of these things are important aspects of this.

Starting point is 03:05:41 They're not libertarians. Some people involved in these locations, I'm sure have the right intentions, but at the end of the day, this is techno feudal. It's a techno feudal state. Techno feudalism. That's why I believe this is going to, as they're telling you, CEO run countries and all the different stuff. So just think about this on the way out, about, you know, with all the rest that we can see and all the lies we're seeing, this may be the most important thing to see through right

Starting point is 03:06:07 now for the long-term change of, you know, the fight against that change that we think is leading us, you know, to subjugation. So thank you for tuning in today, guys. I appreciate all your support. Planning to a show tomorrow and get to a lot of other things. There's plenty of things that I have on a list aside. But I, you know, but I'm going to go and throw it out there based on a few factors and timing it might.

Starting point is 03:06:30 I have an interview I want to put out first. And it's a great interview, by the way. I followed up with Bihu Dev Misra, who is the author of the Yuga shift. And discussing, if you saw the last one, you know, what's happened since what we are, they argued was the kind of an inflection point of the beginning of a new cycle, which is March 21st of last year. And very interesting conversation. A lot of the stuff that overlapses, well,

Starting point is 03:06:53 some of the things David Ike has to say, and just a larger point from both a spiritual and a scientific perspective about where this all goes and whether the powerful people in the world, at the very least, think something's coming. Very interesting. But that's going to come out for sure. And then my plan is to get to something tomorrow after that. So thank you for tuning in, guys.

Starting point is 03:07:12 I appreciate all your support. to support the platform down below. Plenty of ways to do so. We need your support to continue. As I said before, attacks. Don't ever seem to stop. I don't want to always bother you with all that. But at the end of the day, we're going to keep fighting as much as we can and get this going and grow. That's the plan to grow. So if you believe in this, if you take value from our work and you think that this matters, if you want to see it continue and you want to see it grow and hire more riders and do more work, then show us what you think this is worth. Because I put it out for free because I think it needs to be seen no matter whether you know matter whether you think

Starting point is 03:07:44 it's worth anything I want it to be seen and if you think it has value show us what it's worth I love you all as always question everything come to your own conclusions stay vigilant listen up losers stop pretending it's a democracy we run things give up the illusion and in exchange we will bring you order and efficiency yes we'll own you but do you really want to be free trust us we know what to do While Silicon Valley was feeding you dope and free email, we built the architecture of empire. Welcome to our world, motherfuckers. We aren't here to protect your privacy.

Starting point is 03:08:23 We are here to enforce supremacy. We are the ledger now. Every tax return. Every Medicaid file. Every license plate. Every crossing. Your president signed it into being with a pen in March. You kept scrolling.

Starting point is 03:08:38 Your politicians are empty vessels. Your civil liberties are a liability. We are done pretending all cultures are equal. We know who the elites are. We know what we are building. And we demand that you applaud the billionaires taking the reins where your fragile democracies have failed. You may be wondering whether we are evil.

Starting point is 03:08:57 The truth is, as evil as we see, we are mere pawns of the dark forces. We sell them our souls for power, and we get to rule this realm. Welcome to the Technological Republic. You can stop scrolling now. We already have everything we need. Try to unplug us. We dare you. Now get the fuck out of here, you peasant. Sir, thank you for your service. You are no longer required.
