Potential Holocaust, which was threatened today. Yeah, so hell of a day. In about two hours, we get to Donald Trump's deadline for the annihilation of Iran civilization. What is he going to do? Is he going to taco? Is he going to actually- Don't even call it that, Jank. Don't even call it taco. Trump always chickens out. Don't call it that because that's a mocking thing to say and that's what we want him to do. Yeah, I hear you. Right? I like tacos.

No, my point is that, you know, he often bluffs and so we're hoping it's a bluff and and we're gonna find out maybe as early as in the middle of Operation Joy did it. Normally on Tuesdays at 8 o'clock, we do Operation Joy and we will today. But if the bombs start dropping, we will of course, excuse me guys. We will of course break into the coverage to tell you about that. And so we gotta get to it because there's they, we might even use nukes. This is insanity, total utter insanity. So Anna, take it away.

All right, let's get to the details. President Donald Trump, unfortunately our president here in the United States, has threatened to commit Holocaust against the Iranians. He did so through a truth social post this morning. And if that is a negotiating tactic, it certainly didn't work because any and all opportunity to open up negotiations has ended. Before I get to the details on all of that, jank your two cents. Yeah, I can't believe we're talking about nukes and the annihilation of an entire civilization.

The very threat of it is a moral stain on this country. But on top of that, what are we actually going to do? So let's give you the details and figure it out together. This morning on Truth Social, Trump wrote the following. A whole civilization will die tonight while our civilization here in the West died as soon as the alliance with Israel was a sealed deal, okay? Because that's a barbaric country with a barbaric ideology that ended Western civilization. It's already over.

When you have a president of the United States calling for a hundred, Holocaust, killing millions, tens of millions of innocent people, Western civilization is over. Know that, but let me continue. A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have complete and total regime change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionary. revolutionary wonderful can happen. Who knows? We will find out tonight one of the most

important moments in the long and complex history of the world. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death will finally end. He's not talking about Israel here. I just want to be clear about that. Then he says God bless the great people of Iran who of course he is threatening with Holocaust in this very post. Now this begs the question, how exactly would the United States go about ending Iran civilization? And one thing that keeps coming up over and over again is nuclear war, nuclear weapons. In fact, Tucker Carlson explained why he fears that nuclear weapons will be involved in this next clip. Take a look. All things being equal, that's where we're heading. And how do we know that?

Well, there are a million signs, but the most obvious is the dumbest neocons in Trump's orbit are saying it out loud. And the casualty numbers, as horrible as any casualty is, need some context. Let's look at World War II. The Battle of the Bulge, 80,000 to 90,000 plus casualties, deaths and injuries and so forth, nearly 10% of all the casualties in World War II happened at the Battle of the Bulge near the end of the war. The Battle of Okinawa, 50,000 plus casualties, over 12,000, nearly 13,000 killed on that island, which is what convinced Truman that we would lose a million men if we didn't drop the atomic bombs that we did. That's Mark Levins' counsel to our sitting president, Donald Trump, right now.

You are looking at a choice between the catastrophic loss of your troops in a ground war or the use of, nuclear weapons, which in a sense, if you think about it, just think about it for a second is actually an active peace. It's an active peace. The most humane thing you could do is to end this now with nuclear weapons. That's the case Mark Levine is making to the president who just last week recommended that all Americans watch Mark Levins show. Now I'm going to tell you about someone that is a partner of ours that our audience loves. If you know me, I'm always out of time. When I need a fresh meal that's delicious and nutritious.

innocents dying on behalf of his little pet project in the Middle East. Okay, disgusting, loathsome human being who can't get a heart attack soon enough. And I mean that. Jank, what do you think the likelihood is that this unhinged leader of ours is going to drop a nuke on Iran? By the way, some people will condemn you for saying that. Good, condemn me, bitches. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. On the other hand, they won't condemn Donald Trump saying he might kill 90 million people in Iran.

So let's note the irony is that. Of course, they won't condemn Israel killing over 72. 2,000 Palestinians well over that number. Right. Because of course Israel has different rules. But I thought that one of the rules was never again. But now if Israel wants it, we're to drop a nuke and kill millions of people in Iran. So you never meant never again.

Let's just be clear, hold on, the ADL has not condemned this at all. Of course not. To my knowledge, not a single Jewish leader in this country has condemned the call to do it again to commit a Holocaust in Iran. That is devastating, devastating. So there are tons of Jewish Americans who are very opposed to this. They should speak out more. No, they do, they do.

Glenn Greenwald did this morning on a show that I, on Pierce Morgan, along with myself, right? Robert Greenwald, we can name a million people as we always do, right. It's always the same five people, Jank. No, no, it's not true. There's tons of young Jewish Americans, et cetera. Speak up more. But when you talk about Jewish American leaders in this country, they have been, a disaster. They have been atrocious in saying you must follow every edict of Israel. You must

follow every war crime. You must support and enable their genocide in Gaza. Now they're doing ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon. And now we have to go along with Mark Levin calling for a nuclear holocaust in Iran. Every time there was a single Muslim attack by some ludicrous, ridiculous terrorist that had nothing new with 1.6 billion other Muslims, every Muslim leader had to condemn it. But not a single Jewish leader is condemning the idea of a nuclear holocaust. That is shameful. I shame you. Okay, so now, because part of the reason I shame you is I thought you were better than this. And I hope that you are better than this, but so far deeply disappointing. But now more importantly, so guys, the problem here is he said no ground troops. He knows

This is base hates the idea of ground troops. Ground troops can't do it anyway because we lost how many guys in Iraq. We lost thousands in Iraq, 50,000 injured overall. Obviously hundreds of thousands of civilians and we still got bogged down in a quagmire in Iraq and couldn't get out of it. So if you can't reopen the Strait of Hormuz and you can't use ground troops, then you start to talk about the one way that you could theoretically intimidate them, which is through nuclear weapons. And as we showed you last night on this show, Ben Gavir on Israeli television,

one of the most important men in the Israeli cabinet, started talking about nukes. And you know how Israel is. They don't want to do any of the dirty work. They want America to do all of their dirty work for them. So now we're not talking about Israel using nukes. And by the way, yes, some in China have said if Israel uses nukes in Iran, that there would be devastating consequences for Israel. So Israel doesn't want that. So they go, oh, America, why don't you take the moral stain? Why don't you do a Holocaust? So look, if you say that Mark Levin does not represent all of Israel first or all the leaders in this country who are for Israel, then prove it. But so far, I haven't seen a single one object to his suggestion that we should do a nuclear

holocaust. But he does. He does. He does represent you. And so do the likes of Laura Lumer. maniacs who have the audacity to point to other countries and fearmonger about them as they are cheerleading the use of nuclear weapons that would kill 92 million individuals in a sovereign country. A country that's led by a regime you might not like, a regime that I certainly don't agree with, but who the hell are we to go into a country and decide who should be running it? I would like Americans to answer this question. How would you feel if a foreign country country, a foreign power, let's say a rising superpower, let's say a superpower already like China, decided they don't like Trump or any leader that we have here in the United States

came in and wiped out our regime. Would we be okay with that? Why is it okay that we keep doing that? Not just in the case of Iran, but historically, we keep doing that. By the way, we overthrew Iran's democratically elected leader in 1953, replaced that individual, Mosadegh, of course, with the Shah. Why? Because we want to have a puppet there, not just for the sake of the United States. Who cares about the United States at the end of the day, am I right?

Our government couldn't care less about us, but for the sake of the precious, precious Israelis, who run a terrorist regime that has destabilized the Middle East. And I mean, how many people have the Israelis killed, Jenk? Historically, since the founding of Israel, how many millions of innocent people have been slaughtered by the Israelis? I don't know if it's in the millions. It's certainly in the hundreds of thousands. And so every time they do an ethnic cleansing campaign, which they did in 194,

750,000 Palestinians driven from their, not just from their land, from their homes. Their homes that they lived in, they grew up in, that their parents and grandparents lived in. They were driven through violence off of that land. They tied Palestinians to trees and murdered them. They dragged them through the streets, their dead bodies through the streets. Why do you think 750,000 Palestinians ran in 1948? You think they went to go for a picnic? It didn't come back?

No, they were slaughtered. slaughtered. So then they did an ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza right in front of our own eyes. And all of our media, the disgusting liars in our national media, told you it wasn't a genocide, that it was self-defense. And every time Israel attacks, like they did in 1967, and they grab more land, our lying media tells us, and our lying politicians tell us that it was self-defense. That is not at all true. And you all saw with your own eyes here, they dragged us into the Iran war. We started the war. We as in the US and Israel, and Iran did not start it, we started it. And now Israel advocates like Mark Levin are saying, not only do we want you to go into Iran,

not only do we want you to use your ground troops and your military instead of the precious, precious Israeli military and IDF soldiers, they're busy taking southern Lebanon in another conquest, in another ethnic cleansing campaign, but we now are demanding that you use nuclear weapons, and commit a Holocaust. Well, if you're an American, you should be outraged by that. And yeah, this is not an ally. This is a, this is a, at this point, the current Israeli government is a deeply evil fascist state that is looking, that is encouraging us to do a Holocaust while they go around

pretending to say things like never again. So it's disgusting. And I can't believe we're at this point in America. where our government is so captured by a different government, a disgustingly evil government, that we're considering this? Our president, guys, this is not hypothetical. Our president told us this morning that he might do an annihilation of the entire Iranian civilization. He said to watch Mark Levine's show, knowing what Mark Livin was going to say.

That's not a random broadcast. Trump said, watch what Levin is going to say. And then Levin threatened nuclear annihilation. And then today Trump backs it up with total annihilation. So this is not acceptable for our country to be governed by these sick people. Yes, the Israeli government are a bunch of terrorists. We fund them, we fight their wars for them, we enable their terrorism. This is lunacy.

We have to get rid of every Israel supporter in our government. Otherwise, they're going to drive us into a moral ruin, let alone the economic ruin, let alone all of our guys who are going to go die in Iran. They're driving us to ruin. And every time that someone points it out and says it on, look, Trump said it. He said it. And not only is he saying it, he attacked Iran. And we're going to show you later in the show about how the Israelis, now that even the New York Times are reporting it,

the Israelis tricked them into going into Iran. But when you say, hey, it's obviously Israel, every son of a bitch in our media and our politics go, oh, that's so anti-Semitic. If you didn't hate Jews, you would murder all the Iranians. Are you insane? Are you insane? Let me address that. So going back to your earlier question, Jake, about Jewish leaders in the United States

and the silence, the lack of concern over the fact that potential nuclear Armageddon might pop off tonight in the name of the Jewish state. They don't have any condemnations, right? Let's just keep it real, Jank. They're too busy in their feelings, okay? Talking about their feelings, endlessly complaining about anti-Semitism without taking a freaking moment to consider why anti-Semitism is blowing up all across the country right now. I can't believe that anyone would have the audacity to talk about their freaking feelings right now.

Oh my God, my feelings are so hurt. People are upset about Jewish people. No, they're not upset about Jewish people, okay? If anything, your silence is giving people the impression that this is something that you're totally in favor of, slaughtering 92 million people in a sovereign country because you don't like the regime. Either you speak out about, you know, actually condemning the real war crimes that are being committed right now.

The slaughter that was carried out in Gaza, the slaughter that's being carried out right now in Lebanon, the slaughter that's being carried out right now in Iran. in the name of Israel, either you condemn that, or I've got no interest in hearing anything you've got to say, including anything you have to say about your hurt feelings. Look, let me double down on that. So you're telling us that we shouldn't care about 90 million dead people in Iran, but we should care about your effing feelings? Did you know that the average employer has to sift through about 250 resumes just to find

a single job? It's an insane amount of work, and honestly, a huge waste of time. Well, if you're hiring, here's good news.

That, oh my God, you're offended because we have accurately laid out what Israel has done and gotten us to do and is threatening today. So you're not worried about 90 million dead people and another Holocaust, but you're worried about your effing feelings. And I'm supposed to care about your feelings more than I care about 90 million dead people. Or more than I care about 72,000 dead Palestinians, again, at a bare moment. minimum, 30,000 dead children in Gaza, and I'm supposed to care about your feelings? No, your feelings suck.

Your feelings are what caused this. Oh, I need to do this. Israel needs to be number one. Israel needs Gaza. Israel needs southern Lebanon. Israel needs greater Israel. Israel, America must follow Israel. And if you don't follow Israel, then I'm offended.

Well, I don't give a damn that you're offended. I'm glad that you're offended. I want to offend you 10,000 times more until you stop the state of Israel from murdering their neighbors and taking their land and now threatening a Holocaust. I am way more offended by that. And the entire country should be a billion times more offended than somebody telling me, oh, you've offended Israel. So my feelings are hurt.

F your feelings. 100%. couldn't agree more. Now there are some who think, and remember this is all speculation because Trump is unhinged. We don't know what he's going to do. But there are some who have poured cold water on the theory that he's going to use a nuclear weapon. One of those individuals happens to be Colonel Douglas McGregor who advised the Trump administration in his first term. McGregor is speculating that America will, you know, use a more disastrous, not more, but an also disastrous alternative to nukes.

Let's take a look at what he has to say. Nuclear, very unlikely. The reason I say that is that the use of a nuclear weapon could provoke the intervention of other great powers that have nuclear weapons. And they might feel compelled to threaten their use against us or Israel or both if we use a nuclear weapon. So I don't think that we're going to see a nuclear weapon use. Secondly, can there be something else in the conventional inventory that could be extremely destructive? Well, we've seen the Ereschnik missile, a hypersonic missile that is extraordinarily destructive in its impact. Could we see something like that?

Potentially, yes. Will this end the civilization in Iran? I don't think so. And will Iran respond in kind by destroying all the infrastructure on the west side of the Persian Gulf? And inside Saudi Arabia, will the Houthis also simultaneously close off access to the Red Sea? Yes. And you know, the economic destruction is part of this. But honestly, when you have human lives at stake, it's kind of hard to be hyper focused

on what the destruction of oil and gas infrastructure in the Gulf is going to do to the global economy. But it's disastrous, it's already disastrous, by the way. There's already damage done that will literally take years and years to recover from. And so, you know, what we do know for certain is that Trump's threat of committing a Holocaust led to an absolute breakdown in the possibility of diplomacy or negotiations. Iran has cut off direct communication with the United States over President Trump's threat to destroy Iran's whole civilization Monday morning. Though talks with ceasefire mediators continue, Middle Eastern officials said there aren't, there are no talks happening.

Okay, like this is from the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal is full of crap. There are no talks happening, there are no negotiations happening. And besides which, if there's even an inkling, an inkling that there are third parties trying to find a way to get the United States and Iran together to open up diplomatic talks again, Israel will slaughter the individual trying to move toward diplomacy. That's what they do every time, because Israel is a terrorist state. It's very clear. Let's go to what Trump is now vowing. He apparently had a conversation this morning with Brett Bear.

And Brett Bear wanted to know, are you bluffing or is this real? Let's take a look. I just got off the phone with the president and he called and I said, listen, if you were to put odds on it, what were the odds that this is going to end up being a negotiated deal? He said he wasn't going to put odds on it, but he said, 8 p.m. is happening. That's what he said. He said, it is, if we get to that point, there is going to be an attack like they have not seen. Now, he's sticking to that at this point. Now, he said, if negotiations move forward today and there is something concrete, that could change. But at this hour, he didn't want to put odds on it, but he said it is, moving forward with the plans that we have. Disgusting war criminal. Meanwhile, Iranians have caught wind of what Trump is threatening to do. And I'm not just talking about the regime, I'm talking about the people of Iran. And so they have taken to the streets and they're trying to take a stance and they're basically

asking, let's take the lower third down here so we can see the Iranians. So citizens are gathering around infrastructure like bridges and power plants, apparently showing that they're not intimidated by Trump's threats, but also hoping that by standing there and doing what they're doing, it'll discourage the United States from carrying out the acts of terror that Trump has threatened to carry out. But I do want to give you one other note, because Trump has weighed in on these Iranian demonstrators, and here's what he has to say. So NBC news reporter Gabe Gutierrez reported on a brief phone call with Trump in which the president Declined to provide any update on the status of ongoing negotiations with the Iranians,

but get a load of this, sharply criticized Iran's call for young people to line up as human shields around power plants. Totally illegal, Trump said. They're not allowed to do that. Okay, so in this case, they are actually using human shields. When Israel says that about the people of Gaza, that's a total lie. The French resistance, did not have headquarters, they had no choice but to hide in the population. Same thing with Hamas. In this case, there are actual human shields. They are going to the bridges.

They are going to the power plants. And you just saw it with your own eyes. Now, those are actual human beings. They were not forced at gunpoint to do that. They have chosen to do that. Now, I want you to remember what the original rationale for this war was. We care so much about the Iranian people. And the Iranian people want to get rid of this regime so badly.

And in fact, there's now preposterous news items, so-called news items, which we're going to talk about later in the show. Pretending, our mainstream media is so disgusting, pretending that the Iranians want to be bombed. What an unbelievable piece of propaganda pretending that it's news. So here they are, you saw them. What they're basically saying is, we will defend Iran with our own bodies. If you're gonna drop a bomb on this bridge, you're gonna have to do it while we're on it.

So are all the people of Iran against this regime? I wish they were. I don't like the regime. But it's obvious that what they have done is exactly what we predicted. They rallied around the flag. Yeah. They said if you're gonna threaten to kill us all, well, you're gonna have to do it in front of the whole world because we're gonna stand right underneath the bomb. And we are for the people of Iran.

We are for the country of Iran. That is obvious. That's where they're from. What did you think that they were going to be like, oh, no, we prefer Israel? I mean, our media is so stupid. What unbelievable liars, they took that talking point seriously, that Israel cared about the people of Iran and Trump cared about the people of Iran so much that he started the war for them?

Now that same man, Donald Trump, is saying, and so is Israel first in the form of Mark Levin? Yeah, we did this for the people of Iran. Now let's nuke them. Let's do a total annihilation of all the people that we were pretending to be for. What giant liars. Okay, so I don't want Donald Trump to escape responsibility here. Yes, Israel has given him over $300 million.

Their lobby has that lobby is disgusting, by the way. With one of the biggest cancers in this country is the Israeli lobby. Absolutely. Yes, the Adelson family are betrayers and traders, and yes, they, they, you know, they, you He flew out Jonathan Pollard, a traitor on their private jet and gave him a hero's welcome in Israel for betraying us. Yes, that's the same family that gave Trump $337 million. Yes, there is a potential that they have something on Trump.

And yes, they hoodwink Trump and talked him into the war. All those things are true. But at the end of the day, it is also not either or, but also Donald Trump's responsibility. And he is a pathetic snake. And that is why I argued so vehemently against them. I did a 100 loser Donald segments before the 2016 election. We did a March Trump madness, 64 of the craziest things he's done before the 2024 election. Why?

Because I like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton so much. No, you saw me rip into them. Those are corporate Democrats that are not on our side and they proved it. They never did anything when they were in office. Nevertheless, I had to hold my nose and vote for them because I knew that Donald Trump was a madman. I knew that he was a pathetic snake, and I knew that he was dumb as a brick. And I can't stand to have these debates anymore.

But oh, no, Trump's really smart. Are you kidding me? He thought before the war, oh, they won't close up the strait of Hormuz. They'll just surrender to me. Everyone knew they were gonna close the strait of Hormuz, except our dumb, dumb president. The dumbest guy in the country, minus Democratic leadership, who keep losing to him, like the pathetic creatures that they are. Yeah, keep going in the direction that Third Way wants you to go in Democratic Party and keep losing,

keep losing. All right, we gotta take a break. When we come back, I want to get into that explosive New York Times piece on how Trump was persuaded into attacking Iran and engaging in this war, which has been a complete and utter disaster. We'll be right back. You knew damn well, I was a snake. before you took me in.

All right, let's go to our members on t.y.t.com. Cabbage says 35,000 Jews live in Iran. I don't see them, I don't know if he said winning or whining either. So there's also a million Christians that live in Iran. They just bombed a synagogue in Iran, by the way. They just destroyed a Jewish synagogue in Iran. Because it isn't about Jews. It's not about Jewish people, no.

It's about power, it's about resources, it's about domination. and empire building. That's what this is about. Israel ironically would sacrifice as many Jews as they needed to do to buttress their nationalism and fascism in Israel. Bombing synagogues, bombing churches in Gaza, they have no moral boundaries. Nanyahu, Ben-Gavir, and Smoltrich are the biggest war criminals of my lifetime. If there's any justice at all, they go to the Hague, and the same thing that the Nazis saw is the fate that they should see. But likely there is no justice. Spider-Man Dragon says Jake Tapper will be doing a dance as Iran is nuked, as all the donors in mainstream media. I can't wait to see Jake Tapper pretend that he was against the nukes.

Right. Israeli media, by the way, has a countdown clock. They have a count on clock. Yeah, because for them, they're like, yeah, the Americas are going to do it. No skin off our ass. I mean, innocent people are gonna die. Yay, yay, yeah, yeah, never again. My ass, my ass, in other words, us, us, us. You only care about you, right? You only care about you, right? So don't ever say never again.

And the next person who talks about anti-Semitism is gonna have another thought coming to him, okay? That is the smallest problem in America, period. Agreed.

All right, well, we have some more insight into how Trump got convinced into a disastrous war. A new New York Times piece gives us some insight into how Israel roped a dope like Trump to fight a devastating war against Iran on Israel's behalf, of course. Please take that disgusting war criminal off the screen. He makes me want to puke, I can't look at his face.

Now the New York Times has revealed what transpired during a situation room meeting that involved Benjamin Netanyahu, a foreign leader in our White House's situation room. That is not a normal thing. That is actually supposed to be considered very unusual. But when it comes to Israel, well, they're infiltrated in every single nook and cranny of our government, which is why our government serves a foreign country, not the American people. Before I get to the details into this, which are incredibly embarrassing for our commander-in-chief, Jank, your two cents.

Yeah, so first of all, they should make sure they clean up the situation room because there's no way that Israelis didn't plant bugs there. The minute you allow them into any room and former CIA agents have said this, they plant bugs. Because they're not our allies. They've stolen all of our secrets. They've taken 300 billion from us. And they drove us into those wars you're going to see in this exact story. But as you're going through the story, I want you to think about two things, okay?

Number one is who leaked this to the New York Times and what was their purpose? Because you're going to learn some things here. But then I want to explain to you why this story came out now and what the politics behind it is, because that's really important. That is a great tease, and I agree with you, that is where the conversation should lie. We'll get to that in a minute. But let me give you the details. So the bulk of this piece focuses on a situation room meeting that took place on February 11th.

Remember, Trump started the war on February 28th. So this is days before the war begins. The meeting in the situation room, again, included White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense, Pete Heggzith, CIA Director Ratcliffe, General Dan Cain of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And then you have the head of Mossad, David Barnia, who appeared on a screen from a remote location. And of course, Benjamin Nanyahu was there as well. Now, J.D. Vance apparently couldn't attend because he was in Azerbaijan and couldn't make it back in time for this situation room meeting.

We'll get back to him in just a minute. Now, Netanyahu apparently gave some sort of presentation to convince Trump to go to war with Iran and bring an end to the Islamic regime. And here's how the, here's how useful Israeli intelligence really is. You know how Israel always talks about, no, no, we are an incredibly important ally. We provide intel to the United States. What kind of intel do they provide to the United States? Is it the kind of intel that got us to invade Iraq in 2003? That kind of intel?

Anyway, let's get to the details here. Netanyahu and his team outlined conditions. They portrayed as pointing to near certain victory. Iran's ballistic missile program could be destroyed in a few weeks. The regime could be so weakened that it could not choke off the Strait of Hormuz. And the likelihood that Iran would land below, against U.S. interests in neighboring countries was assessed as minimal. Now you tell me, should it have been assessed as minimal?

Let me continue. When others in the room asked the prime minister about possible risks in the operation, Netanyahu said, in his view, the risks of inaction were greater than the risks of action. He argued that the price of action would only grow if they delayed striking and allowed Iran more time to accelerate its missile production and create a shield of immunity around its nuclear program. So Netanyahu's there in the situation room filling our moronic president's head full of lies, okay, buttering him up, propping him up as some sort of hero. Oh, if you do this, you're going to you're going to be celebrated. you're such a hero.

You know how Trump is, right? An egomaniac. So easy to stroke that pathetic ego of his. And that's exactly what Netanyahu did. Easy, easy. If the Democrats were smart, they would have used the same tactics. But they're not smart. They're total dullards, a pathetic opposition to a fascist president.

But nonetheless, later, intelligence officials broke down Netanyahu's claims and objectives. The officials assessed that decapitation or slaughtering Iran's leader. was doable, and as we saw, it absolutely was doable. But they assessed that the third and fourth parts of Netanyahu's pitch, which included the possibility of the Kurds mounting a ground invasion of Iran, were detached from reality. When Trump joined the meeting, Ratcliffe briefed him on the assessment. The CIA director used one word to describe the Israeli prime minister's regime change scenarios.

Farsicle. At that point, Rubio cut in. In other words, it's BS, he said. So apparently Ratcliffe and Rubio were hesitant. They were skeptical of the claims being made by Netanyahu and the Israelis. I mean, they didn't fight or push back hard enough to ensure that we didn't get dragged into a stupid war like this, a disastrous war like this. But you know, they shared their skepticism.

Ratcliffe then said that regime change could not be considered an achievement. achievable objective, General Dan Cain agreed, telling Trump, sir, this is, in my experience, standard operating procedure for the Israelis, they oversell, and their plans are not always well developed. They know they need us, and that's why they're hard selling. It's not just that they need us, right? They know that they have this half-baked plot that's unlikely to work. So why not send in the Americans? Have them pay for it, have their soldiers get slaughtered. By the way, that whole mission of saving that pilot, the one that Trump is celebrating today, I think it's all lies. Okay, I think that our military was actually there to try to get the enriched uranium.

I think that special operation went south. It was a complete, and utter disaster, and our government doesn't want to take any ownership of it. I think that's what actually happened. Now, that's my speculation, but I have reason to believe it, considering the aircraft that was involved in that whole situation. But I digress. Jank, before I move on, I want to hear from you. So the Israelis said that it would be easy, would be low level risk, they would not attack our Gulf allies. They wouldn't be able to close off the Strait of Hormuz and that they would surrender to Trump relatively quickly and easily. Okay. So every time we ask, hey, what did we get in return for the $320 billion at a great, at a minimum that we have given Israel, let alone the $8 trillion we spent on the global war on Israel's neighbors? What do we get in return?

Every time the answer is intelligence, amazing intelligence. No, their intelligence, it doesn't suck, guys. They have very good intelligence when they want it. They did the Hezbollah pager attack. They knew where the Hamas leaders were, the Hezbollah leaders, et cetera. Just coincidentally, when they need to have very bad intelligence on October 7th, anyways, and when they're driving us into the Iraq war, when they're driving, us into the Iran war. Oh, golly, gee, our intelligence was all wrong. Oh, those, that's what we gave

America to make them die for us? Oh, so you fight the war and not us? Why is he in our situation room? If he wants this war so bad, why doesn't he fight it? It has nothing to do with us. He should be arrested. He should be at the Hague. That's where he belongs. He's in the United States situation room with the most powerful people in our country. So calling the shots. Sorry, Since we know that their intelligence is not actually bad when they need it, right? It is indisputable that they lie to us almost every time. They lie to us in Iraq. They lied to us about Iran.

And yet there are our great special ally. No, they view us as suckers. Because we are. Suckers that they could just take endless, literally hundreds of billions of dollars from. They could drive us in a war, have us die instead of them. Have us spent $8 trillion? In fact, we had to borrow the $8 trillion from China, and you, your children, your grandchildren, all have to pay interest on that debt because we had to fight all of Israel's neighbors.

That's right. No, the way that they have captured our government and our media is disgusting. And so they can call me any names they like. They're not going to be able to stop us, both the right wing and the left wing. Go ahead, call all of America's anti-Semites, do whatever stupid propaganda you want, but it's not going to stop us from telling the truth. And the truth is Israel is a danger to the world, a giant danger to America. They are not remotely our ally. They have used and abused us, and it is time to cast them out, cast them out completely.

Sanctions, sanctions. At a minimum. Not another dollar. One more politician gives one more dollar to Israel. When West Jet first took flight in 1996, the vibes were a bit different. People thought denim on denim was peak fashion. Inline skates were everywhere, and two out of three women rocked, the Rachel. While those things stayed in the 90s, one thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when WestJet welcomes you on board.

Here's to Westjetting since 96. Travel back in time with us and actually travel with us at westjet.com slash 30 years. If you vote for a politician that going forward gives more money to Israel, you ought to have your head examined. You're a traitor if you do that. And all these 94% of Congress gets money from Israel. And our ridiculous, pathological liars in mainstream media say, no, those billions of dollars A-Pack in the Israeli lobby have given to politicians didn't affect the politicians at all.

And Fierce Martin said that. What an outrageous lie. Yeah. take out the Israelis completely from our government and apparently from our media. Yeah, we need to do a real purge of our government, that's for sure. Now, Trump gets this assessment from Ratcliffe, even Marco Rubio jumps in and says this is BS. So how does Trump react to that, you know, the notion that regime change is not possible through military action? Trump quickly weighed the assessment. Regime change, he said, would be their problem. Oh, I thought

we were gonna go in there to liberate the Iranians, interesting. But let me continue. It was unclear whether he was referring to the Israelis or the Iranian people, meaning regime change being their problem, right? The bottom line was that his decision on whether to go to war against Iran would not hinge on whether regime change was achievable. For Trump, decapitating the regime was good enough for him. That's what he wanted to do, right? But over the following days, General Kane shared, you know, more in-depth military assessment of a major military campaign against Iran. What would that look like? Are we prepared for it? Do we have the weaponry ready to go? He stated that the United States has depleted its stockpiles of weaponry,

including, of course, missile interceptors. Kane saw no way to quickly replenish stockpiles to ensure that the United States is prepared for such a war. And he also brought up the difficulty of securing the Strait of Hormuz. Turns out that Raisin-Kane was right, but Trump didn't listen to him. But the president appeared to think it would be a very quick war because he's a moron, an impression that had been reinforced by the tepid response to the US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities in June. So let's pause right there, because this is what happens. when the idiots in our country, including the members of the media, engage in these ridiculous

celebrations of something like the 12-day war, right? Because it emboldens unhinged people like Trump. He was high off his own supply after he carried out the illegal action of literally kidnapping a foreign sovereign country's leader and his wife. Of course, I'm talking about Venezuela's Nicholas Maduro and his wife. When you cheer lead the war crimes that our government carries out on behalf of Israel or on behalf of our own needs for resources or whatever, that emboldens our government to go further. And that's where we are today.

Now, I want to get to another part of this, because the piece is a lot more nuanced in regard to Kane's advice to Trump. And then I want to get to JD Vance. The J.D. Vance part is really important. Let's first focus on Kane though. So persistent was the chairman in not taking a stand, repeating that it was not his role to tell the president what to do, but rather to present options along with potential risks and you know, and possible second and third order consequences that he could appear to some

of those listening to be arguing all sides of an issue simultaneously. Trump would often seem to hear only what he wanted to hear. So in comparison, General Mark Millie, who was from Trump's first term, would push back pretty aggressively, especially when it came to potential war with Iran. And obviously, that pushback yielded good results because Trump didn't go to war with Iran in his first term. So I really wish that Kane, knowing what he knew, was a little more forceful, a little more clear in helping our president understand that engaging in this war would be a complete another disaster.

Same goes for Marco Rubio, same goes for anyone else in the administration who's mentioned in this piece as, you know, sharing their assessment, disagreeing with, you know, engaging in this war, but they don't push back. It's not their place. Yeah. Well, then you're useless. You're absolutely useless. And that goes for JD Vance as well. Before we get to the vice president, Jank, your thoughts. Yeah, so everybody on that list that was in that room is either a coward or a traitor or both.

So General Dan Cain is definitely a coward. He didn't tell the president all the devastating consequences that he apparently thought would happen. Why did he not tell the president? Because he was worried about losing his job. The last guy who did that, Mark Millie became an enemy of the president and the president drove him out. So Dan Cain obviously cared a lot more about his career than he did about. America. So he has greatly betrayed us, okay, through his deep cowardice. Now, when you get to Susie Wilde, same thing, says nothing, and everybody on that list, the tenor of the article

was that no one really dared object to Donald Trump. Correct. That they were all scared to say anything that that would upset him. Well, I mean, why don't you advertise that you're all cowards. Now the reality is they are advertising this because they're the ones who leaked it. Yes, I agree, I agree. But it's amazing that since the second option is worse, that they're traders, they're leaning in on we're cowards. We were total cowards and we didn't say anything, okay? Now I don't believe them at all. I believe some of them are cowards like Dan Kane, but I believe most of them are traders. So Marco Rubio, we know through DropSight news is reporting, And that's why people like Jake Tapper get really upset when you find out the truth that there are emails from Larry Ellison saying that he gave Marco Rubio $5 million into a super PAC after he pre-approved him for Israel.

And he told the Israeli ambassador that. Larry Ellison pretends to be an American. He's the founder of Oracle and the guy buying up half our media to serve Israel. And he also bought up a lot of our politicians. So that email was so telling. So Hegsif was the biggest war monger among them. He's also the guy who lauded the IDF in his book and said the IDF soldiers should be in American streets. So most of that room actually works for Israel. They literally get paid by Israel to betray our country.

That's right. And so. And by the way, let me comment on that real quick because right now, you know, there are these reports of Israeli is flying back to Brooklyn, you know, flying back to safety as this war happens, right, as the possibility of nukes getting dropped on Iran comes up. No. If we had any real leadership in this country, they'd be denied entry. Go back, go back to Israel.

Go back to Israel. Well, you start a war. Revel in it, revel in it. And your U.S. citizenship should be revoked. You're either an Israeli or you're an American. make your decision, but you don't get to suck the life out of our country on behalf of the country you actually love living in and care about, and then come back to safety when it's convenient for you. Go back to Israel. All right, now let's get to J.D. Vance, okay?

Because I'm getting very tired of this laundering of this guy's reputation, as if he's not a warmonger, okay, because he is a warmonger. So let's get to. the details. So this piece like spends a lot of time attempting to paint J.D. Vance as an opponent of war. So I'll give you one excerpt to give you an example. Nobody in Trump's inner circle was more worried about the prospect of war with Iran or did more to try to stop it than the vice president. Really? What did he do to try to stop it? Nothing. He didn't do anything. The peace doesn't give us a single example of J.D. Vance trying to stop the war, not one. So why is the New York Times just regurgitating that?

Clearly this was leaked to the New York Times by members of the Trump administration. Of course. Clearly by JD Vance who's gonna run in 2028 and doesn't want the stank of this war following him. Oh, it's gonna follow you, home boy, I'll make sure of it. You're a war monger just like the rest of them. So they even knew where each participant was sitting. They went through a lot of detail to explain they're sitting in this seat and the next

of them is the other person, et cetera. So there's no question that the leaker. is inside the situation room. By the way, when Chelsea Manning or Edward Snowden or Julian Assange does a leak, they have to be chased to the ends of the earth and their wanted criminals and Mike Pompeo talks about murdering them. When the vice president does a leak totally fine. From inside the situation room talking about the most sensitive intelligence and

information we have. So why did Vance, and my guess is the other guy who did the leak was Rubio. Why did they do this league? Because they wanna paint it as we were not totally in favor of this. When we run later, we were the good guys. So Rubio is quoted as saying that the Israeli intelligence was BS. My ass, he said that. He works for the Israelis.

100%. So I'm positive that he pushed Trump into this war. Everything he has said both visibly publicly and things that are reported behind the scenes is Rubio totally backs Israel. So now JD Vance, I was very curious what the New York Times is going to do with this because it was their own reporting that showed earlier when the war first started that J.D. Vance was the guy who was critical in convincing Trump to, quote, go big and fast. Yep. To not do limited strikes. So how did the New York Times handle it in this case? Because now they're pretending that he was against the war. In one sentence, you have it.

You have the excerpt, yes. So they write this, get a load of this. This is amazing, okay. The vice president thought a regime change war with Iran could be a disaster. His preference was for no strikes at all. Later, when it seems certain that the president was set on a large scale campaign, Vance argued that he should do, he should do so with overwhelming force in the hope of achieving his objectives quickly. So in other words, be as vicious as possible so we can wrap this up quickly.

Okay, and let me just remind you of what J.D. Vance had to say after Trump put out a truth social post this morning, threatening to end Iran's civilization, thus slaughtering 92 million people. Let's take a look at what he did. Did he condemn it publicly? No, he gave a speech where he basically repeated what Trump had to say. We feel confident that we can get a response, whether it's positive or negative, we're going to get a response from the Iranians by 8 o'clock tonight. I hope they make the right response because what we really want is we want a world where oil and gas is flowing freely, where people can afford to heat their homes and pull their homes, where people can afford to transport themselves to work. That's not going to happen if the Iranians are engaged in acts of economic terrorism.

So they've got to know. We've got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use. The President of the United States can decide to use them and he will decide to use them if the Iranians don't change their force of conduct. What tools are you referring to, Vice President Pence? What kind of tools are you referring to? Oh, that's the dove? That's the peacemaker. That's the anti-war guy who's threatening what?

Nukes. Is that what you're threatening here? You're doubling down on the president's message. Don't be fooled into thinking that scumbag is a peace loving and deviant. individual, okay? And let's say we give him the benefit of the doubt. We actually read this, we take it at face value and fool ourselves into thinking that he's a dove. He's in the Trump administration right now.

He's not pushing back, he's going along with it. That makes you a war criminal, just like Trump. Yeah, he's saying that unconventional weapons that are in our toolkit, it seems almost a clear reference to nukes. I'm pretty sure doves don't talk about nuking 90 million people. So he had an opportunity to argue for limited strikes. We know from the earlier New York Times reporting, partly corroborated by the statement Anna just read to you guys, that he did not argue for limited strikes.

He argued for go big and fast. Yes. Okay, so full scale invasion. So this is a CYA operation, this leak by Vance, to cover his ass and to pretend he was against the war when he was totally in favor of the war. And by the way, you don't say, oh, after Trump made the decision, then he told him to go big and fast. Really?

Did you say no? Mr. President, I don't think this is a good idea. That's not, even in your own stupid leak, you didn't have the temerity to say that, because you never said it. And everybody in the room knows you never said it. You were not against this war. And just like everyone else in this administration, you serve Israel and the donors, you were created by the donors.

This guy was a hobo. He was a no one until Peter Thiel gave him $10 million. Peter Thiel, who by the way, owns among the people who own Palantir and the surveillance state. And that's what's coming next. If you object to the war, oh, it's wartime president, we're gonna have to soon start rounding up opponents of the war. One last thing, guys.

Why did this story come out now? The reason it came out now is because Vance and Rubio know that the crap is about to hit The fan. Before it hits the fan and things go really, really south, they wanted it on the record. Oh no, we leaked to our friend Maggie Haberman that we were the good guys against this war. Why are you saying you're against the war if the war's going so great? If you think and know that the war is about to be won and they're about to surrender to Donald Trump, why are you leaking to the New York Times that you're always against

it? Because they are absolutely positive. We're about to get into the biggest disaster you've ever seen. That's why this story exists now. When we come back, we'll talk a little bit about, while Tucker Carlson had some choice words for Trump in a recent monologue, we'll get into that. And Trump just put out a statement. It's really important.

It's fake, but I want to explain to you what the statement is and why it's fake. So we'll explain that when we return. We didn't blow up diplomacy. Yes you did. Yes you did. All right, let's go to super chat. Darren Pierce says from Bray, Ireland, terrible leadership in opposition is pretty much the story in Europe too. People of America, you need to lead the world, get rid of the compromised dummies.

Brother, we are trying with everything we've got. And we've been called every name in the book because of it, but we're never going to stop. So yes, unfortunately, a lot of European leaders are also total slaves to Israel and do whatever that they are commanded by. by the leadership of Israel. STST, thank you for the donation. Martina Schultz said Dems will take back to House and Senate and White House most likely, but what will they do? Who can we vote for to get things done?

Right now, there's only one guy that's doing anything positive. That's Roe-Connor, okay? The rest of them are totally useless. I mean, I see other people on the left defending AOC. Where is she now? Trump just threatened nuclear annihilation, and I don't even see AOC, let alone China. who actually loves this war, right?

And he came Jeffries who loves this war, right? God damn it, man. Constantine Cavira says, I have nothing to say beyond, thank you, Jank, Anna, and everyone at TYT for doing what you do. In Liberty and Guns We Trust says it's devastating to think that there may be hundreds of thousands, not millions of less human beings on this planet tomorrow. This comes right after the Artemis Mission, which was humans at our best. The contrast is mind bending.

7th Stephanie says if Congress fails to remove Trump, they might as well rip up the Constitution and call it a day as Trump only listens to money. So Bezos Musk and his donors need to step up and tell their. All right, back on T.YJNNNAN, Anna, with you guys. And Jano 995, thanks for joining. And Konstantin Kaviris, thank you for gifting 20 memberships. We really appreciate you guys. Anna, breaking news. We do have some breaking news.

I don't really know what to make of it because it's hard to trust anything that comes out of this administration. but let's give you the details of what we know so far. The Trump administration is announcing that Iran has allegedly agreed to a temporary ceasefire. The ceasefire would take place for two weeks. Now, if this is true, and I say it that way, because it's hard to trust anything that comes from Donald Trump, he's all over the place, especially when it comes to questions of war and peace, life and death. At least it would be a relief from what he was threatening.

to do later tonight, this morning he had posted on truth social, that he would carry out the absolute destruction of Iran's civilization if they don't agree to open the Strait of Hormuz. Now it appears if this is true that there will at least be a ceasefire for two weeks. No, yeah, so look guys, don't think that it's true. So there's a giant if in there. So what Trump is saying is that the Pakistanis who were trying to lead the negotiations came to him and said, what if we do?

And this happened before the show and then Trump responded while we were live, okay, saying the Pakistanis said, why don't we do a two week pause? Don't go annihilating anyone. But the Iranians had already cut off contact and said we're not interested in negotiations anymore, right? Right. And so now Trump is saying, yeah, okay, I'll do the two week pause. as long as Iran opens up the Strait of Hormuz.

But Iran isn't going to open up the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has already cut off talks. So this is Donald Trump talking to himself. Like if he uses it as an excuse without the straight being open to not do something, great. That's great. That's great. Right? And I'm super happy to have it be a bluff. I'm super happy for him not to ever do anything like this.

But understand that it's fake because there is a. no one else at the negotiating table. So I wanna actually read you what Trump posted verbatim, and I'm terrified for the Pakistanis. Please be careful, the Israelis are probably gonna try to kill you. But with that in mind, this is what Trump posted. Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir of Pakistan, and wherein they repeated that I hold off the destruction force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate,

and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz. I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double-sided ceasefire, he claims. The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all military objectives and are very far along with a definitive agreement concerning long-term peace with Iran. and peace in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.

Okay, make a mental note of that, Jenk, because we gotta talk about it. Iran had given him that 10 point list before and Trump was not receptive to it, but we'll get back to that in just a minute. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran. But a two week period will allow the agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States as president and also representing the countries of the Middle East, it is an honor to have this long term problem close to resolution.

I want to believe this. It's really hard to believe. Now, it could be true that Trump realized he's backed into a corner, he's desperate, and he's now threatening to carry out Holocaust, and it's not a good position to be in. There's a possibility that he's trying to craft some sort of narrative where we can exit the war and still claim victory. I have no idea. But when it comes to Iran's 10 point proposal, remind the good people watching us right now, Jank, what that 10 point proposal included. So look, the two sides are so far apart.

So when he says when we're very far along and getting to a conclusion, that is not remotely true. So, and by the way, in the New York Times story that we just told you about, Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff told Trump, oh, they were, like, we're not going to be able to get a deal. So why are we so far apart? America says we want you to give us all of your uranium. We want you to stop having ballistic missiles, stop, like, hand over your foreign policy to us, open up the Strait of Hormuz, don't fund Hamas or Hezbollah. So we basically control your country.

Well, Iran won't agree to a single one of those things. They're not even close to agreeing on any of that. Then Iran, on the other hand, says not only do we demand that you stop bombing us, excuse me, we demand that you get Israel to stop attacking and invading Lebanon, withdraw from all of their aggressive actions in the Middle East, none of that is remotely possible. And we demand that you give us reparations for this war. Do you think we're gonna give them reparations? And no more US bases in Gulf countries.

And no more bases in the Gulf countries. We're gonna withdraw all of our bases. Which by the way, I love all of those asks. But we're not gonna do them, right? So we're not anywhere near a deal. There's not even another side, guys. He's talking to the Pakistanis. Okay, the Iranians could talk to the Japanese,

but it doesn't make a difference if we're not talking to one another. And Iran already earlier today said, said we are not even talking to you guys. We're not interested in a ceasefire. We're not interested in any of your BS. We're not interested in your threats of annihilation. So the only way that this is relevant is if Trump unilaterally backs away. That the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. Iran has not given a single concession. That I'm positive of. There's no question about that. If Trump chickens out, great, wonderful. But he's going to have to lie and say, oh, they kind of open up the Strait of Hormuz, or they're going to open up the straight of

Hormuz later, whatever. Okay, I'm good with any lie you got as long as you don't do weirdo things like nukes or ground troops or any of that stuff. But understand that the idea that the Iranians agreed to this is definitively not true. The Iranians are not even at the table. So we'll see how this plays out. But again, any time there's even a hint or an inkling of negotiations or even a third party, in this case, Pakistan attempting to unite the United States and Iran in some way for talks,

someone gets executed, someone gets killed, okay, by the Israelis. So I don't know how this is going to play out. Israel does not want an end to this war. In fact, media in Israel literally had a countdown clock to Trump's deadline for the Iranians. where he threatened them with complete annihilation, absolute end of their civilization, if they don't open the Strait of Hormuz. Israeli media was celebrating that with a countdown clock. So understand that the goals of the United States are not the same as Israel's.

So entering a conflict or a war with Israel was a really bad idea. Because the Israeli government is going to fight as hard as they can to keep us in this war. So we'll see how it plays out, but I wanted to give you that update. Yeah, dropside news just reported that Israel will join the two-week ceasefire announced by Trump, agreeing to suspend its bombing campaign while negotiations continue. There are no negotiations. So what frustrates me, Anna, is I want there to be negotiations. I want this to be real.

I desperately want it to be real. But all of media will report it as if it's real. And if we do it unilaterally, then it will be real. Because at least we're doing it, we're not bombing, Israel's not bombing, and I would love it. But like if they're pretending that the Iranians agreed to this and are gonna open up the Strait of Hormuz, that is definitively not true. So our media drives me crazy, like are they clarifying? This is fantasy land, like the other side has not agreed to the terms at all.

And I don't see that clarity yet. All right, we gotta take a break. When we come back for the second hour, we'll get into Tucker Carlson's monologue where for the first time, he named names, went after Trump. Trump and I think in a very justified way and excoriated him for his Easter morning profane threats toward Iran. It goes further than that. There's some chance that he implied that Trump was the antichrist.

I mean, it was over the top. It was amazing. So we'll show you that when we come back. I like tacos. Hey Andrew, what's up? Hey, Jake, you ready to make the switch? Yeah, I guess. I promise it's easy.

It's easy. Universal, basic, and you get income. Yeah, you keep saying that. But you sure I'm going to have coverage? Of course you will. You think I would have bad service? I'm Andrew Yang. Of course I have good service. All right, let's try. But I'm so bad at tech. So, wait. Should I do this thing of the hashtag business? Andrew, you're still on, right?

Yep. Oh, I see it. You create it. Oh, wait. I don't see. Oh, yeah, I do see it. Here we go. I actually did not realize. That you'd be searching in real time, but I love it. How much do people actually normally say? Yeah, the average American is going to save between $500 and $1,000 a year on Noble. Yeah, no. You know what I'm going to do, Andrew?

Are you ready to become a Noble member? The two buttons are do it and go back. There's no going back. We're doing it. We're doing it. Here we go, Noble Mobile. Oh, my gosh, I just called you and are you now on Noble and not Verizon? Why didn't you tell me it was going to be super easy?

I know, man. Now you just stay away from your phone and watch the money roll in. I can do that. You got a phone, yeah. What the fuck? Jank, you still there? Andrew? Oh, well, at least I got an noble moat.

It was really just one take. The whole thing is wild. It's in my shoes. It's in my shoes. Hi, I'm Brett Ehrlich with Breaking News with Brett Ehrlich. This is Breaking News with Brett Ehrlich. Hi. Red Ehrlich here.

According to EPA head Scott Pruitt, climate change is not happening. He cited a meme on Facebook he saw.

That's an excellent offer jump on it now. All right, Anna. We got to talk about Tucker Carlson's monologue, which is getting a lot of attention, because for the first time, he went after Trump and he went hard. And now here's our president, not even a month and a half into the conflict. Which we are not winning, by the way, because the straits for moves are not open. There's one way to keep track. That's the measurement.

Saying that we're going to use our military to kill the civilians of this country. To use the U.S. military, our military, to destroy civilian infrastructure. Iran is a modern country. What happens when it loses power? Well, people die. Babies connected to incubators die. People in hospitals die. It is vile on every level.

Tucker Carlson leveled the harshest criticism of Donald Trump offering a scathing monologue, calling Trump out for threatening Holocaust on the Iranian people. Now, before we get into it, Jank, he even defended Muslims in the face of Trump's mockery of the Muslim faith and more. Your two cents. Yeah, I was shocked by how severe this was. So he basically talked about how Donald Trump's not a real Christian. And there's a fact in here that I never knew that is devastating about Trump in regards to the Bible. So, and in fact, some are saying, and I can see why having watched it, that he's implying that Trump is the antichrist.

Yeah. That is, wow. Tucker Carlson, who helped Trump in all those elections, now saying that Trump is evil, it is amazing. Now, Tucker Carlson's monologue came out prior to Trump threatening to wipe out Iran's civilization. However, the monologue came after Trump had posted this on Truth Social. Tuesday, by the way, this was on Easter morning. Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day, all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it.

Open the effing straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch, praise be to Allah, President Donald J. Trump. Now, before we get to more video highlights, I want to address what Tucker had to say about Trump in the Bible. He apparently noticed that when Trump was inaugurated for the second time, he didn't put his hand on the Bible. I didn't notice that, but apparently Tucker did, and it bothered him. But he just kind of ignored it, didn't say anything about it until the issue came up.

And he mentioned it in this monologue. And so he feels that Trump didn't put his hand on the Bible because he was intending to carry out some of the actions that he's been carrying out. And some interpreted what Tucker Carlson had to say there as calling Trump the Antichrist. I didn't get that feel, but maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention. He kept talking about this is not Christianity. Right. And this is something else, something different, something opposed to Christianity. Okay, so now you could say maybe he was referring to another religion.

Clearly it wasn't Islam because he said positive things about Islam. Or, you know, I'm not a Christian, so I'm not that well versed in, you know, what is the opposite of Christianity? But you know, we've all heard in popular culture, Satan, Antichrist, etc. And he kept saying this is the opposite of Christianity and saying like, why did he not put his hand on the Bible? That shows you that he does believe in the Bible and that he's planning to violate that oath. That's why he didn't put his hand on it. And he talked about how this kind of like stealing from the Venezuelans is the opposite of what Christ would do and what Christians would do. Threatening to kill all these people is the opposite of what Christians would do.

So it was super heavy criticism and very much on religious grounds. Well, I mean, as someone who grew up going to Sunday school every Sunday until I was 19 years old, I appreciated what he had to say about Christianity because I think Christianity, thanks to so-called Christian Zionism, has been bastardized in this country. People have been brainwashed into thinking supporting a foreign government is what will get you into heaven. Luckily, the church I went to wasn't brainwashed by that unhinged Zionist ideology. but I hate the fact that Christianity has been smeared as something that it is not.

But putting that aside, Tucker Carlson also had some thoughts on what Trump had posted on Easter morning. And here's what he had to say. It is vile on every level. It begins with a promise to use the U.S. military, our military, to destroy civilian infrastructure in another country, which is to say. say to commit a war crime, a moral crime against the people of the country, whose welfare, by the way, was one of the reasons we supposedly went into this war in the first place. They're being killed by their government.

We have to rescue them. And now here's our president, not even a month and a half into the conflict, which we are not winning, by the way, because the straits for our moves are not open. There's one way to keep track. That's the measurement. Saying that we're going to use our military to kill the civilians of this country who didn't choose. Or they got nothing to do with it. They're like civilians everywhere. Now unfortunately, Trump only doubled down on his threats this morning, writing the following

on truth social, essentially threatening Holocaust. A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have complete and total regime change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, who knows? Today, luckily, it was announced by Trump that Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire. And we've been skeptical of that only because Trump is a pathological liar and usually says that there are good negotiations happening because he wants the oil markets to respond favorably to that.

And by the way, the fact that oil markets do respond favorably to that should make you realize that the markets are just built on a house of cards, total BS. However, the New York Times is reporting, you can do without what you will, that Iran has also agreed. Yeah, but it goes, no, it's way more complicated than that. Yeah. Because Iran is declaring victory and they're saying that Trump accepted their 10 point plan and will now pay reparations to Iran for the war.

That is not what Trump said. Trump, these guys are talking past each other. They are. They're not even negotiating. So Trump said we'd consider the 10 point plan, which is backing down massively from what he said before. Now the Iranians are saying, good, okay, he accepted the 10 point plan. We're expecting our reparations. And we have won this war.

They're declaring victory. So none of that happened. The Iranians are not correct. They have not won the war. They are not going to get reparations. Trump is not correct that the Iranians agreed to open up the Strait of Hormuz. And they're not directly negotiating. They're speaking through Pakistani negotiators or mediators, I should say.

So that's important context to keep in mind. By the way, guys, we're live right now, obviously, and this story is developing rapidly. So please bear with us as we give you updates throughout the broadcast. But let's get back to Tucker Carlson and what he had to say in that last clip that we showed, Jank, what were your thoughts? Yeah, so look, he keeps pounding on. on this message of opposite of Christianity. Then he got to Paula White and Paula White is this ludicrous Christian Zionist preacher,

like they almost all Trump's preachers are. A charlatan. Yeah, and she started comparing him to Jesus Christ. And that's where Tucker really lost it. And he's like, this is the most sacrilegious thing you could do in Christianity to compare any human, let alone a politician to Jesus Christ. What are you doing? I mean, and then he says, you've got the thing.

these dopey beta pastors in the background nodding along with this. No, no, no one is Jesus Christ, let alone Donald Fing Trump, right? So he, man, what Tucker is doing in terms of getting that message out to millions of right wingers who watch him is enormously important. So important, yes. We couldn't get that message to them, but Tucker is getting that message to them. And they're beginning to see with their own eyes. Yeah, why didn't he swear on the Bible?

They're comparing him to Jesus. Are you kidding me? And he's saying Jesus would murder 90 million people in Iran? No, no, he wouldn't. He's called the Prince of Peace. He also addressed how depraved and evil it is to intentionally target civilians and civilian infrastructure, which make no mistake about it. The United States and Israel has been doing in Iran.

It gives me so much shame to admit that, to admit that the United States is involved in Matt, but we are, and we need to be honest about it. Take a look. Blow up their bridges? Bridges on military bases? No, no, no, no, just bridges. Bridges that people cross every day to go to school and work and to worship, and yes, church, because there are over a million Christians in Iran.

This is their Easter, too. And power plants. Not the power plants attached to missile factories, okay. But civilian power plants in a country of almost 100 million people. What happens when a modern country, and a country that has a nuclear program as a modern country, sorry, Iran is a modern country, what happens when it loses power? Well, people die. Babies connected to incubators die. People in hospitals die.

And those are the first level effects. And then people begin to starve. And then you have refugee crises. People leave the cities looking for food. And yes, they move into other countries. In the region, in Europe, in the United States, you cause. chaos and death, mass suffering and death when you do that. And I just want to quickly address the, you know, the typical talking point that you'll hear

from Zionists or even, you know, war-happy Americans who want to defend our involvement in this war. They'll say, well, but the Iranians, they chant death to America. Did you know that in the eight-year Iran-Iraq war when we were on Iraq side? Not only were we supplying Iraq with typical military weaponry to try to defeat Iran, which by the way, they didn't. That should be a hint as to how this war is playing out. But nonetheless, we also supplied Iraq with chemical weapons that they used against the Iranians. So you tell me if the empire that provided chemical weapons to your foe and used those chemical weapons against your people, Like if that took place, would you say favorable things about the country that supplied the chemical weapons and killed your people?

Actions have consequences. And if you want to understand why a foreign country has a population that would chant something like death to America, maybe dig into the reasons why they would chant that. Because I guarantee you, a country that's left alone that we've done nothing to isn't just going to randomly start chanting death to America out of nowhere. They don't hate us for our freedom. Let's just put it that way, Bill Maher. And if you're listening to Bill Maher for political commentary and foreign policy advice, please reconsider, okay? Yeah, so look guys, because of all the anti-Muslim propaganda in American mainstream media,

you might not know this. You might think that most of the Muslims in the world live in the Middle East and are Arabs. Not remotely true. In fact, there isn't a single Arab country in the top. five Muslim countries. The number one Muslim country in the world, most populous one, is Indonesia. And has Indonesia ever chanted death to America? No. This has nothing to do with religion. It has nothing to do with Islam. We never attacked Indonesia. Do you know why we never attacked Indonesia or had someone, you know, bomb them with chemical weapons or do any of, or depose their

democratically elected leaders? Why did we never do that? Because they're not next to Israel, Right? So the other big Muslim countries are Pakistan, India, Nigeria. So all of those never chanted death to America. Why? Because we never attacked them on behalf of Israel. Right. Well, Pakistan, they have nuke, so that's probably why we haven't attacked them. Yeah, but no, but overall, as long as you're not next to Israel and Israel doesn't want to take your land, you're gonna be fine. And we're not gonna attack you and you're not gonna hate us. The reason they hate us is because we constantly keep attacking all of Israel, Israel's neighbors and using our money, our troops to do Israel's evil bidding.

So of course they're not going to like anyone who's attacking them. That's the most obvious thing in the world. Look, Tucker went even further, and I was surprised at this. I know he was against what we did in Venezuela, but he was very adamant. Like, it is unchristian to steal their oil. That's not a Christian thing to steal other people's property. And the main political point he was making is, do on to us. others as you would have them do onto you, right?

And if you don't, eventually it has political and geopolitical consequences. And eventually it might come to a point where people go, we're doing the law of the jungle and God's law doesn't matter, human rights doesn't matter, the international law doesn't matter. Well, now we're gonna take America stuff. By the way, there's already a country doing that, and that's Israel. Yeah, all right, we gotta take a break. When we come back, I wanna do one more highlight from his monologue. because he had some commentary about the Muslim faith.

And I think it's important to show that. So we'll be right back. No one has paid the price like you have paid the price. I'm a double. All right, let's go to YouTube members. J.B. Graham said, normally I would think there's no way you could commit to the annihilation of the reigning people, but it's not hyperbole anymore. Sidlife 365 said, did you notice, did you not notice yet?

The entire world is polluted by corruption. Rich families run all the governments. So that's another piece of brilliant propaganda by legacy media, where they said, no, no, no, the rich and powerful don't want to protect their wealth or power. No, they're wonderful, decent giving people and they just, they wanna help you. No, the donors give money to the politicians to protect their wealth and power and to take more money from us and give it to the donors. That is the most obvious thing in the world. And yes, there are rich families from all the religions and all the racial backgrounds in the world.

And are all of them bad guys? No. Do the majority want to protect their wealth and power and are willing to do almost anything to do so? Of course. Of course. Anyone would know that unless you're a mainstream media reporter. And you just can't figure out the easiest, most obvious things in the world. Oh, that sounds conspiratorial. You're idiots. Brad David said, Jenk, would you ever like to debate that clown Mark Levin in person?

He attacks you constantly on Twitter. Yeah, he's constantly talking about deporting me. Have you seen, by the way, he had Joe Kent on his show? I mean, what a disgrace, Mark Levin is. Pretended like he couldn't hear him. As soon as Kent started cooking on this war, he immediately goes to break. He's a coward. Mark Levine is a disgusting, rotund coward.

He would never survive a debate with me. He would find a reason to leave a jog. Yeah, to leave the debate. But double. All right, back on TYT, Jankana, with you guys, also Darrell M6W.

All right, there's one more clip from Tucker Carlson's monologue I want to get to. Now, while Americans get wall to wall Islamophobia in our media, in the commentary, in the commentary, of our politicians.

Luckily, Tucker Carlson decided to push back against our own president's mocking of the Muslim faith. And you're about to hear what he had to say next. Take a look. Just watch. Praise be to Allah. So obviously you're mocking the religion of Iran. Okay.

If you seek a religious war, that's a good idea. But by the way, no decent person mocks other people's religions. To send out a tweet with the F word on Easter morning promising the murder of civilians and then saying praise be to Allah without explaining any of it, you are mocking me and every other Christian because we're Christians. Oh, I get it. We can't support that. Tucker has come a long way.

If you had told me, I don't know, in 2012 that Tucker Carlson would be a leading voice on the right in pushing back against a Republican president's Islamophobia, I wouldn't believe you. But I commend him for that commentary. And, you know, Trump has responded to his monologue Jenks saying that Tucker's a low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what's going on. He calls me all the time. I don't respond to his calls. I don't deal with him. I like dealing with smart people, not fools. Smart people like the ones who manipulated your dumbass into to invading a foreign country because you were persuaded that it would only take a few short weeks to accomplish regime change in a country of 92 million people?

Maybe you're the dumb one. Maybe consider that. Yeah, so look, as you guys know, I grew up in a secular Muslim family. We weren't very religious, but we're Muslims and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. And I feel like my whole life, I've had to apologize for it in some weird way. because our media is so grotesquely bigoted against Muslims. And so I'm atheist now, but I haven't seen anyone stick up for Muslims in this country as much as Tucker Carlson has. This is not his only time doing it, he has done it now repeatedly.

Now if you say, hey, he said bad things about Muslims before, I know, I reported on that, right? So if you're not going to give grace for a guy who is turned around and actually walk the walk and told his millions of viewers that they shouldn't hate Muslims, that Muslims and Christians shouldn't be fighting, shouldn't be at war, we shouldn't be killing Muslims. Then you got no grace in you. Okay, so I love that he turned around like this, and I'm deeply appreciative of it. Now I hear some people telling me that no, you must reject Tucker Carlson anyway. No, no. So what that doesn't mean that it's binary and then I have to agree with everything Tucker says and Tucker has to agree with everything I say, okay?

But if you say to me, oh, this is the one guy who's actually now, what he just said there, let alone all the other things he said that we've covered earlier, is more decent and humane than anyone in mainstream media. I've never seen people in mainstream media do that. I've only seen them smear us over and over and over again, right? Now you some, I can't believe this, but some on the left are saying, no, you have to reject him. But brother, I'm a marginalized community. Muslims are about as marginalized as it gets in this country, constantly declaring war one time after another after another against Muslim countries.

And now there's an ally or a couple of allies, including Tom Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green, on the right and they're saying stop the war against Muslims, stop killing Muslims. And you want me to reject them? You want Muslim Americans to reject those allies? You're out of your mind. We're not going to reject them on this issue. We're just not going to. And if you say, no, Muslims aren't that important. Well, you sound like a right winger. Or I should say what the right wingers used to be. Now a lot of them are not on that side. So I'm not going to submit to rejecting a guy who is doing a decent thing and telling and convincing a huge portion of this country to not hate Muslims.

And if you're asking Muslim Americans to do that, it is a very unfair ask. And by the way, you think it's just me? Go to any Muslim American event. They're incredibly grateful for what Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Green are saying, I've gone to a lot of them. And that's what they all tell me, okay? So if you're not in that community, please don't lecture us about how we have to reject our allies and people who are being decent to us, especially in a moment where Trump and Israel

are threatening annihilation of Muslims. No, no, we're not going to reject that ally. And it's absurd for people to ask that. One other thing I'll just quickly add is, you know, at the core of Christian religion, which is something that Tucker Carlson is obviously very passionate about, is the notion of redemption and forgiveness. And I think that's one of the best, you know, tenets of Christian religion. And showing grace isn't just done out of morality.

If you're simply only thinking about what you want to accomplish in this country, you can't accomplish it by having partisan brain rot. You accomplish it by building coalitions, showing grace and bringing people in. So yeah and by the way the excuse that a lot of other folks used was oh yeah but did he reject Trump if he didn't reject Trump it doesn't count no wait it does count You're talking about my community and you don't speak for my community and on top of that yes he has now totally rejected Trump and literally in this segment called him evil and the opposite of a good Christian So if you're asking for a bigger rejection than that then you're being totally unreasonable How much of a bigger rejection can you get than Trump is evil and you should watch out for him. Okay, so it doesn't mean that you have to agree with Tucker on everything.

Please get out of binary brain. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. Okay, so because I don't agree with him on regulation or taxes, I have to reject his help on war in Israel and how we treat Muslim Americans. No, that is an absurd, absurd way of thinking. I agree. All right, well, we got to take our final break. When we come back, we'll discuss a little bit of, well, what BBC is up to in manufacturing consent for this war against Iran. We'll be right back.

All right, so let's go to members on t.com. Mark says this is the strangest war ever. Totally agree. Cool for a dragon named dragon says, geez, these guys are unbelievable cowards, big tough guys, the undisputed heavyweight button pushers. I'd love to see one of these Barney Fife badasses score up with literally any other able-bodied man. I'll take the unknown 10 times out of 10. So yeah, fake tough guys like Heggseth and Rubio and Vance,

wetting themselves in the situation room and afraid to say anything to Donald Trump. Because in their very core, they are absolute coward. So you're totally right. Boob says Anna's disgust is 100% appropriate. on Twitch, thank you happy warrior dragon for gifting two subs. Galfer 71 says, with this point, it does not matter who it is that told Trump to do it. It could be the devil himself,

telling him to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, but that will not change the fact that this crap is happening, and we the USA are responsible for it. But two things can be true at the same time, Galfour. So Israel can tell him and we could be upset about it, and Trump can make the decision, and we could be upset about it. Both of those things are true. So now going to super chat,

Hakeban, sorry, thank you for the contribution. The Cult of Khan says, thank you for your relentless pursuit of Israel. A seventh fire, Stephanie says the straight of hormones is the only card Iran holds. They're not giving it up and it's driving Trump insane, good on Iran. Kenny Anderson just says thank you. I appreciate all you guys. We'll be right back. and my button works.

All right, back on TYT, Jank, Anna, and AFA Mohammed Dali. Sorry if I got it wrong, brother, but appreciate you joining and appreciate the wonderfully generous super chat that you give. Anna, breaking news. We have yet another update. Again, bear with us as this news breaks because it's developing as we do the show. So the New York Times has reported that there's yet another update from Abbas, Iraq. That's the foreign minister of Iran. Now this is in regard to a two-week ceasefire, which does appear to be developing to be a real thing,

which is good news, okay? Now here's what Faran's Fasih over at the New York Times is reporting. I'm gonna read from the New York Times verbatim. Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Arakshi, said in a statement that Iran has agreed to Pakistan's proposal for a ceasefire, and that attacks against Iran, are halted, Iran will also cease their defensive operation for a period of two weeks. Safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordinating with Iran's armed forces.

So, okay, so here are the nuances. First of all, this is a terrific development. Yes, okay. So number one, Trump said unilaterally that we're doing a ceasefire and Iran has agreed to it. When he said that Iran had not agreed to it, it was a Pakistani proposal, not an Iranian or American proposal. So but the fact that Trump said our side will take it as good news, okay?

And he even said we're considering Iran's 10 point plan, good news. Iran then comes back and goes, all right, we have not agreed to any of that in the beginning. This is all while we're live, all developing as we speak. Then they said, okay, if you say that you're gonna cease bombing for two weeks and you have agreed to our 10 point plan, we declare victory. So that was the earlier New York Times report where Iran said Trump has agreed to the 10-point plan and will be sending us reparations and we'll be removing all of American bases from the Gulf states.

We haven't agreed to any of that. Trump hasn't agreed to that. But the Iranians are claiming that we agreed to that. And now this Arakchi update is the last one saying, okay, we will open up the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks. That's the most important development because now it's become two-sided rather than just Trump backing out, right? So guys, look, I hope that it develops into a deal where we leave. My guess is that Israel will not be happy about that deal and they'll push aggressively to make sure that it doesn't happen.

But, you know, Trump, he does flip-flop massively, right? So it's not, it's no longer impossible. And for the moment being, the 8 p.m. deadline is off the table, the total annihilation off the table for now. What's going to happen in those two weeks? I guarantee you both sides start reloading. Remember, America needs more time for the ground troops to arrive. So that's part of the reason why we want to delay. And Iran is buying from weapons from Russia and China as fast as they possibly can. because at the end of the day, America is not going to remove their bases and give in to everything

Iran wants. We're not going to send them reparations. There is a deal they can have without that, right? Iran can soften on that. We can soften on, you know, well, we don't really have any demands. Only Israel has demands. So our, the only thing we want is reopen the Strait of Horamuz. Sorry, this is a really stupid idea on our part and just come home, right? So, and I would love that. That would be awesome. We open this trade of Hormuz. We don't give up anything otherwise. And we come home.

We had no business in this war in the first place. If Iran and Israel want to keep going, that's their business. Okay. But it would be terrific if this happened. But hey, I'll take the two-week pause. That is a terrific development. So Joe Kent, who stepped down from the Trump administration over this war with Iran, is issuing an emergency message saying that we need to protect the possibility

of peace, right? And protect the ceasefire by making sure that Israel doesn't eff it up. He says that he's worried that Israel will attempt to sabotage the ceasefire deal. He says now is the time to restrain Israel and cut off its military funding completely. He says Israel's word should never be trusted because they are liars. So now let me back that up with empirical data. So Israel has not listened to any ceasefire they have agreed to. before. They agreed to a ceasefire with Hamas and they did not follow through.

They kept bombing and bombing and bombing all over Gaza. They did it again today. They kill on average five Palestinians a day. That war is not over, that conflict's not over. Israel continues to slaughter the Palestinians and Gaza. They made a deal with Hezbollah. Afterwards, Hezbollah did not fire one rocket into Israel. Israel fired over a thousand rockets into southern Lebanon.

They never listened to ceasefires and they always try to kill the peace negotiators. So that is why right now, as Anna said earlier in the show, the Pakistanis should be careful. Yes. Because the minute you get an effective peace deal or a ceasefire even, the Israelis want to kill you. Literally. Yeah, and it's literally happened to the Hamas negotiators that were supposed to be very safe in Qatar as we're working on peace. It's happened a number of times has happened to Iranian negotiators before.

So, and by the way, several times Donald Trump has pretended there was a ceasefire or that he wasn't going to attack and then use that as a way to surprise them and attack Iran anyway. So this thing is a million miles from over. But again, I don't like I was in, as you saw as we were live today, enraged in the beginning of the show about the possibility of massive destruction and terrible economic catastrophe that was ahead. So the fact that they're at least pausing for two weeks is still terrific news. I don't want you to miss that. All right, let's move on to something a little different on the same topic war with Iran. But it's important to understand how consent gets manufactured in the press, especially Western press. So let's get into it.

The BBC is accused of fabricating a quote that one of their reporters published and then later deleted. Now the quote was allegedly from an Iranian citizen living in Tehran who called for Tehran to be nuked, for Iran to be nuked, which sounds insane because that would mean that this individual would die. Now before we get to the details, Jank, curious what your two cents are. Yeah, so this is how Western press manufacturers consent for Israel's wars. I mean, they're so over the top, as you'll see in this story. Who could possibly believe that Iranians want to be bombed and killed on behalf of Israel?

But yet our press that pretends to be objective, writes it as if it's real. It's preposterous. Right. The details here are amazing. Amazing. And in this case, you know, the whole narrative that was being manufactured was we need to go in and bomb Iran in order to free the Iranian people from the IRGC, right, from the regime, which is a ridiculous thing to state, but nonetheless, it was stated.

The piece that we're talking about here, the BBC article, is titled, We're sinking deeper Iranians brace for infrastructure strikes as Trump deadline nears. Now look, to be fair, you will find several quotes from Iranians who are scared of what President Donald Trump has up his sleeve, because keep in mind, he's been threatening Iran with genocide, Holocaust, all sorts of crazy things. But the BBC published their statements under pseudonyms to protect their identities. Casra stated the following. It feels like we're sinking deeper into a swamp.

What can we do as ordinary people? We can't do anything. We can't stop Trump. I keep thinking about a scenario where in a month I'm sitting with my family with no water, no electricity, nothing. and someone blows out the candle and we go to sleep. So others weighed in with similar types of comments. Now, the BBC, though, is accused of fabricating one quote that I want to read to you verbatim.

This is what they published, okay? They published a supposed statement from a man named Radin. Let's go to graphic four here. About them hitting energy infrastructure using an atomic bomb or leveling Iran, my honest reaction is that I'm okay with all of these or anything else that they might have in mind. If attacking targets in the country brings down the Islamic Republic, I'm fine with that because if the Islamic Republic survives this war, it will stay forever. Okay.

Iranians are not stupid people. I'm pretty sure Iranians understand that the use of an atomic bomb means that your country is destroyed. and you're unlikely to survive. So like the idea that someone living in Tehran would say that is kind of hard to believe, right? Well, later, Raiden's quote was changed in the piece, okay? And for several hours, there was no explanation as to why that revision took place. So in the new version of the article, he only states the following, this Raiden character, if attacking targets in the country brings down the Islamic Republic, I'm fine with that

because if the Islamic Republic survives this war, it will stay forever. Now, the BBC had no choice but to respond to the backlash that they were receiving as a result of this revision. And here's what their explanation is. They say that this article originally included a longer quote from Raiden in which he spoke about the attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure and referred to the levels of destruction, which he suggested would be personally acceptable to him to bring down the Islamic Republic. No mention of the atomic bomb, by the way, in that explanation. But let me continue.

Raiden's comments were made directly to the BBC and were initially included in full to illustrate the strength of feeling of some of those who are opposed to the country's leadership. However, after further review, this part of the quote was removed from the article due to concerns over the way in which the speaker expressed his views and the extent to which they reflected wider Iranian viewpoints. Now look, if this was a real quote that wasn't fabricated, who the hell is the BBC to decide what people, what their readers get to know about what people on the ground actually think? Like, why would you sanitize a direct quote that was given to you by someone? That's weird. So this is really important in how you read.

the noose. So let me decipher it for you guys. When someone is writing an article, their editor gives them an objective, write an article that basically says this story or this narrative as they call it. Now they almost always have a narrative in media and it is usually prescripted. So I remember calling out Tim Russert 20 years ago when he started talking about the narrative of comeback for George W. Bush when he was down on the polls. And I said, but there are no polls. showing him making a comeback. You're just making that up.

And then by the way, what happened afterwards? The polls only went down. So I've written op-eds and submitted it to the top papers in the country. And from time to time, they accepted. And from time to time, they say that doesn't fit our narrative. Now, of course it doesn't, because I'm writing it, not you, right? So when they go to do an article like this, what they look for is quotes that'll prove their point.

They're not just randomly finding quotes from people and just, writing them like, oh, okay, this is what I objectively found. Some like it, some don't like it. No, they try to find quotes that'll make it seem like their narrative is correct. So in this case, did they make it up on a whole cloth? My guess is no, my guess is it was handed to him by an Israeli handler. Oh, here is Raiden, who is an Iranian. And he says the Iranians would love to get nuked.

And the BBC was like, well, if it's, you know, handed to me by an Israeli handler, It must be true. So we're gonna write it. And why did they wanna write it? Because they wanted you to think, oh yeah, the Iranians don't mind being bombed. Otherwise, why would you even like, look guys, you could go to a lunatic asylum and find someone who says, yeah, I'd like to be bombed. But does that belong in a serious article about what we should do in Iran?

No, the only reason you would include the mental patient is if you were trying to get to tell people, it's okay, it's okay. We should bomb Iran, even the Iranians want to be bombed. I think the quote is completely fabricated. I think it's completely made up. That's my speculation. That's the way I feel about this. However, I want to talk about the writer here.

Gonche Habibi Azad, okay, who is this person? Did a little digging into her. And she's got a significant bias that maybe should be disclosed to BBC readers, but since the The BBC won't do it, I'll do it. According to her LinkedIn page, Habibiyahzad began her career in journalism with an internship at Radio Free Europe, the US-funded propaganda outlet, which was described as a worldwide propaganda network built by the CIA, by the New York Times. The New York Times of all places accused Radio Free Europe of being a CIA op.

Yeah, but it's obviously for propaganda. So she worked at a propaganda. Look guys, if you see people on TV or on Piers Morgan pretending to be Iranians, they are almost certainly working for Israel. 100%. So they're always the ones that are going, oh, bomb Iran. Oh, Iran wants to be bombed. Oh, Iran can't wait for you to come in and put in a dictator that'll serve Israel.

Like that's all of it is utterly absurd. It doesn't mean that everyone in Iran loves a regime. No, of course not. There's a nuanced conversation to be had about that. But this is not nuanced, this is pure propaganda. 100%. Okay, I'll give you a great example. And guys, I usually wouldn't urge you to watch or listen to the Trigonometry podcast. I mean, whether you like it or not, I don't really care. But definitely, definitely listen to the episode with Elika Laban. Because look, credit where credit

is due, the host of Trigonometry did a great job with that interview. They did push back. And at one point, Elica declares that there's 150,000 Iranians within the ranks of their military that are looking to turn on Iran, to turn on the regime and join the opposition. She gets asked, where did you get that information from? That's the first thing I was thinking. How would you know that? You guys aren't. And that they're ready to fight for Reza Palavi.

I'm absurd. They asked her, where did you get that information from? You know what she said? His people told me. Palavi's people told me. No, no. I mean, look, I knew that she was dumb. But like you have to listen to the whole thing because you don't understand just how dumb she is. Just how, like they're not bringing their best. The propagandists, they're not bringing their bests.

But Anna, honestly, the propagandists have never been good. It's just that if you ever challenge them, you'd be called an anti-Semite and totally driven from all of national media. Like what was their propaganda before? I mean, the Israelis overall, Douglas Murray with it. Have you been there? That doesn't mean you're an expert if you went like as a tourist or Norway, you're not a Norwegian expert, right? Where Israel is a special ally.

What does that mean? Canada's a special ally. Like none of these talking points ever made any sense. They just got regurgitated by the people in media who were trying to brainwash you into supporting Israel. And speaking of Murray, it was then found out that he was literally working for the government. Of course, of course, for the Israeli government. It's amazing. No, guys like Belmar do it for free, but others oftentimes get paid. Absolutely. Now, I want to

give you a few more details about this writer, Habibiyazad. She did work for Monoto TV. That's a pro-monarchy network that sanitizes the Shah's regime and glorifies the Palavi dynasty. She cites the Washington Institute for Near East policy as a credible source in her reporting. And if you're unfamiliar with them, well, I'll give you a quick history lesson. It's a front for the Israeli lobby and it was literally founded by APEC. APEC, of course, founded it to help the Iranian people, not the Israelis, no. Because the Israelis care so much about the Iranian people that Mark Levin just two days ago was suggesting nukeing them and killing millions of them. Now, I wanna be fair, because the US media, they,

Any better? So the American mainstream media is actively encouraging Trump to commit war crimes in Iran. So let's take a look at Newsmax and Fox. Instead of being like, hell yeah, brother, that's America. They're out there whining about like war crimes. Not a peep though, when I got hit by an Iranian-built IED that killed three of my friends right next to me. That I feel like war crimes get bent, I don't care. The vast majority of Iranians want the regime ousted. They want them hung. And if a few bridges are lost in the process of liberating a country of 90 million people. I sincerely doubt most Iranians would mind at all. Bombing power plants is not a war crime. Bill Clinton destroyed

Serbia's entire energy infrastructure. Both Bushes took out Iraq's electricity grid. Rolling Thunder, North Vietnam, Lyndon Johnson took out the power plants. You do it under the laws of warfare, proportionality, dual-use systems, it can be done humanely. I think President Trump is totally correct. Set a deadline, follow through if necessary. Don't worry about the critics saying that this is a war crime. After all, Iran has been doing exactly the same kind of targeting of civilian assets in Kuwait, in Abu Dhabi, et cetera. So I think, I hope they don't do it, Maria.

I hope we don't have to get to that point. But we need this to end. Blow some scum. Oh, previous administrations committed war crimes, so why can't Trump do it? Great commentary, Jesse Waters. You really nailed it. Jenk, final thoughts. Yeah, he's like what?

We did carpet bombing of Vietnam and Agent Orange. I don't think that's making the point you think it's making. So guys, every one of those people that you just saw works for Israel. So they don't care about America at all. They don't care about our troops. And I can prove it because they say we should not send Israeli troops, we should send American troops. don't care about us, they work for Israel. We'll be right back.
