• 0:33
  Speaker 3: All right, good morning, welcome to Breaking Points back here
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: on the land of the Free.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: It's going to say Ryan is back from Cuba and
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: we have a whole block prepared. We're going to go
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: through some of the pictures and reporting that Ryan pictures truck,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: but also reporting Ryan did in an interview actually with
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: what the top the third top official in Cuba with
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: a big scoop yes and so.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: And what you guys don't know is that back before
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the Internet and Instagram, when people would come back from
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: a trips overseas, they would invite all their neighbors over
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: to literally watch, Yes, the kind of slideshould they put
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: up on the wall of their house or something.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: I still do that for my parents.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what you guys are going to have
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: to suffer through today.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: But it's actually it's not going to be suffering through.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: It's it's super interesting. And Ryan was on news Max
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: last night, got into a fun tussle with the host.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: So we're going to break that down more immediately though.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: New updates, actually recent updates from both US negotiators and
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Iranian negotiators towards a potential ceasefire piece deal over there.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: We are going to break all of that down, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: there's a lot to get to. Donald Trump was making
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: remarks in the Oval office yesterday saying, oh.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Kinds of crazy stuff. Did you watch this presser?
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: I watched a lot of it. It was Trump in
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: normal form.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: And hag seth, hag seth. Oh, my god, keeping we're
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: on the throttle and.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Trump giving him the eyebrow rays when he's talking about
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: the hard throttle. Yeah, Trump still Michael Scott, that's what
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: she said, as like his warst secretary is talking basically
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: so kind of amused and confused by hegseeth, but love
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: kind of loves him.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're right. It's a sort of I think
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: it was similar with Christy nom until it wasn't. It
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: can happen quickly.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: If Trump wasn't bringing so much death, destruction and despair
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: to the world, we could just sit back and kind
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: of laugh at his antics. And he really another thing
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I hate him for is depriving us of that joy
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: because you can't. It's with what he's doing, you can't
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: even laugh at him. And it's like that was the
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: best thing about him, is just how funny he is.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Now we're at war with wrong and just yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: And like just trying to striangle Cuba and doing it's like,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: come on, well, we also get back to the jokes.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: And not optimistic that will happen anytime soon. We also
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: have updates from Lebanon, where we're looking at some significant,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: significant incursions from Israel.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: New updates for.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: What the New York Times get hammered for calling it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: What did they say?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: New York Times said something like Israel may decide to
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: continue to control some of the territory that it has grabbed. Yes,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: evading and occupying Lebanon is the word you're looking at.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: They should have just went with Trump. I believe I'll
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: have the honor of taking it, taking.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Lebanon, which does not have a right to exist.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Yes, we should have just went with that. Apparently from
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: the New York Times. Lots lots of stuff on Cuba,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: because that's moving very quickly. Ryan, you can tell us
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: more about this.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: But this is what the.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Government calls Operation Total Extermination. That's the Pentagon title or
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Western Hemisphere.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: That's not great when you're in the Western Hemisphere and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: you find out that the operation directed it you was called.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: Say it again, total Extermination.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: That's not good.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: No, not great.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: But Ryan is going to tell us what's really happening
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: on the ground and what we could see happening very soon. Democrats,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, we have new Gavin Newsom footage here. Democrats
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: are squirming over a pack. Some are sort of that
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: we could use that as an intro for every show,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: but some are apparently leaning into saying I'm not taking
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: any money from a pack, as though it's a badge
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: of honor. But we'll see how what that actually means
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: at the end of the day. Whose money they will
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: and will not take. But there's some new clips Gavin Newsom,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Corey Booker. This is him saying, we don't have a
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: clip of this, but he said he's not taking a
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: PAC money. So lots to get to on that front.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: And Ryan's the guy for it because he's been reporting
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: on this for years.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: This Indeed, Unfortunately I didn't. It's not even the thing
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I wanted to report on. I was just reporting on
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: like progressive campaigns, and all of a sudden there's one
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: hundred million dollars from this outside group in these campaigns.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Like I thought this was about like where you are
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: on the Green New Deal.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: No, no, it never was. All right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Also, AI blackouts possibly coming in the future, not possibly
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: probably coming in the future. New reporting on college graduate
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: it's the plight of college graduates this spring. Many of
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: you are probably experiencing that right now, and I'm sure
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: you'll let us know in the comments.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: It's bad, it's bleak.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: And Jensen Waning says we've reached agi new clip of
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: him on Lex Friedman. Finally, Ryan, we have a guest
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: to go through some horrible economic updates, looking really rough.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Christopher Robb, Yes, he's a state legislator in Pennsylvania. Recently
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: after we booked him, was endorsed by Justice Democrats. Maybe
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: they knew we were booking him. Like, let's get in
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: before he's on. I guess the Breaking Points bump.
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: He's running for an open congressional seat which would represent
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: you know, most of most of Philadelphia.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: So we'll talk it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: We'll talk to him about, you know, the state of
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the national and Pennsylvania economy and how that's playing into
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: the race.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: There you go, all right, And as a reminder, Breakingpoints
• 5:48

  Speaker 4: On top of that, we should add you also support
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: our independent journalism, like sending Ryan to Cuba, helping said exactly,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: which make you like.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: On a milk carton or something.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Sponsors sponsors journalists.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: All right, let's get into the show. New updates in
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: negotiations that apparently or happening according to the.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: US go Well, let's be clear, negotiations require two parties
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: and require one party to respond to the exactly Iran,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: who this day has still not responded to the US.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot of WhatsApp being used for these communications.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: If you use WhatsApp, you know you get those two
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: little blue checks if it's been received and you're just like, okay,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: they got it, Like are they going.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: To respond here?
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: And so whitkob has been left on these two blue
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: checks for like more than a more than a week.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Now now he has just sent he's like it, and
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: he just sends like an entire ceasefire proposal that Iran
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: has not formally responded to yet.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Although the Wall Street Journal has a story about Iran's response.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, let's get into the So the reporting from
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: It's important to understand that the reporting first emerged out
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: of Israel and from Israeli media. And I was talking
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: to my colleague Jeremy Scalhe this morning. He was saying
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: that we should take the specifics with a grain of salt,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: according to his sources in Tehran. But it is, it
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: is indeed true, and actually we can just we can
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: put up with Jeremy Jeremy's post here. It is, it
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: is indeed true that the US has sent has sent
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: an offer sheet basically for a thirty day ceasefire. Iran
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: is reviewing it. Iran is extraordinarily skeptical of the seriousness
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: of the United States because twice they have entered into
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: negotiations and killed the negotiators and then launched wars with Iran.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: They killed Hamas negotiators after delivering a peace deal to
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Hamas like this, The Trump Peace deal.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: They met to discuss it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're like, yeah, so until they're they're reviewing it,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: and there's been no formal response yet according to Jeremy sources,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and until then, the retaliatory strikes will continue.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: The war is on until it's off.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Like there's no there's no pausing on the assumption that
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: this is that this is serious. But it's still worth
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: us going through the terms, just just to understand that
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: some of the details are probably shaded a little bit
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: that that were released out of Israeli media.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so let's put them up on the screen. Screen.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: This is a zero, the fifteen.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: You want to go through these since you have better eyes.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I remember my glasses, although I don't always. This is
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: from as Ryan said, Israeli media. This is really channel
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: twelve being cited. One fifteen clauses here. One automatically cancel
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: the threat of reimposition of sanctions.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Which incredible, by the way, let's just that's opening bid
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: from the US.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: I had to think about that one twice.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Like lifting Iran gets its sanctions lifted, like incredible, Okay,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: that's yeah.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Two dismantling Iran's existing nuclear capability.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: They already agreed to that in February.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: Three agreement with Iran.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Iran vows never seek nuclear weapons, agreed to that in February,
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: preventing the enrichment of any nuclear material on Iranian territory.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: That is probably a miss uh, misreporting or misinformation from
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: from Israel. I would suspect that the details are not
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: that tight.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, interesting sticking point.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: There would be a total prevention.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Five delivery of enriched uranium to the IAEA.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Iran basically agreed to some version of that. They even
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: agreed to allow US companies to operate the Iranian program
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: in February. So just because Iran, by the way, agreed
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: to this in these things in February, doesn't mean they will.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Now they're in a better position than they were ironically
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: in February.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Anyway, go ahead delivery. Oh I just did that one.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Sex decommissioning and destroying the sites of Natan's Isfahan and
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Foordah seven.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: That's probably that's probably a little bit not exactly how
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: it reads.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Well, that's that's an interesting one too, because we basically
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: have claimed to destroy tons.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: That was midnight hammer.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah check.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Grant thee a full access to all information Iran abandons
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: proxies approach.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Well, that's interesting.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe this is the kind of thing Iron agrees to
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: and then just doesn't live up to, which is a
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: very Israeli slash Middle East thing to do.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Sometimes, stopping funding and arming militias in the region so
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: similar keeping the straight of horm moves open without any closure.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't. I don't think they're going to open
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: as long as you pay them.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I was going to say they've learned postponent of decision
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: on ballistic missile program.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: You know the words cool, Yeah, get off our jock
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: about the missiles.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: A few more here. Ballistic missiles are only used for defense.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Acording to them, that's all that they're used for. And
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: actually they have never as far as I'm aware of,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: and correct me if I'm wrong out there in the comments.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: Have I don't.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I'm not aware of them ever launching a ballistic missile
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: strike against any country that where they weren't hit first.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Lifting all sanctions on Iran.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: Incredible, Yeah from the US.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is again, this is the summary.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: This is a real like blow to the like the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Trump is winning the war crowd. We're gonna lift all
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: sanctions in order to end this war.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: But we're definitely winning it.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: And we're gonna tell you to destroy the sites that
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: we said we basically destroyed, all right, last one or
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: two more support for the development of a civilian nuclear
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: program automatically canceled the threat.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: They agreed to that basically in February, the US refused it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: The last one is just automatically canceled the threat of
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: reimposition of sanctions.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Same thing as number one.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Like, so you're promising multiple times that you won't sanction them.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Right in different ways.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Let's then Ryan talk about the story that broke overnight
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: from the Wall Street Journal, and again this is pretty new.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: According to the Politico summary, their peace proposal demands include quote,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: the closure of all American bases in the Gulf, the
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: payment of reparations for missile attacks on Iran, plus the
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: lifting of all existing sanctions. They want to collect fees
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: for ships transitting the Strait of Horn. Moves to the point,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: you just made an end to Israeli attacks on has
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Belah and permission to start its missile building program without limit. Ryan,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: The question, though, is how legitimate is this Wall Street
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Journal summary of the Iranian peace proposal?
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: According to Jeremy's sources. This is they have not formally.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Responded, so it got leaked to the journal, or someone
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: is manipulating the journal with a fake peaceposal.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: The journals sources in general tend to be on the
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: American and Israeli side, and so typically throughout this conflict,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: if your sources have been on the American and Israeli side,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: you are more likely to get incorrect information. There may
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: be some kind of informal back and forth that's happening,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: and that the US or Israel gleaned from that back
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: and forth that this is what they want. I can
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: say for sure that Iran's position is that it is
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: a very high priority of THEIRS that the US bases
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: be dismantled in the region, and they have said from
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: day one that they want reparations like I don't think
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: people and people might laugh at that. We know that
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: it is a horrific war crime that we started the
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: war by killing at least one hundred and sixty five
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: little girls. We know that intellectually, and a lot of
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: us kind of feel it in our bones. It happened
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: to Iranian girls like it is that much more real
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: to the Iranians. They're getting pummeled in a way that Israel,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: the UEE, Kuwait, etc. Are not even getting pumbled. Like
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: they're getting hit really ruthlessly.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: You saw the.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Images of the black smoke that could cause cancer among
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: the Tehran population for decades. They feel like they've been wronged,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: that they did not start the war. They've been pummeled,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: and they deserve reparations for this. Whether they actually get
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: that and what form that takes, we'll see. But I'm
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: just my point here, and they're serious, like they feel,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: we did not do anything to you to deserve this.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: You did this, You're now losing pay us.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Let's listen to the Commander in Chief, Donald Trump in
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: the Oval Office at This was the swearing in for
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Mark Wayne Mullin at DHS yesterday.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Hit a couple of interesting moments.
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: A one because they're going to make a deal. They're
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: was amazing. Actually, they gave us a present and the
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: president arrived today. It was a very big present worth
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: a tremendous amount of money. And I'm not going to
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: tell you what that president is, but it was a
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: very significant prize and they gave it to us, and
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: they said they were going to give it, so that
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: meant one thing to me, would deal with the right people. No,
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: it wasn't nuclear. It was oil and gas related, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: it was a very nice thing they did. But what
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: it showed me is that we're dealing with the right people.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: There's a couple more clips that we're just gonna well,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: we got to speculate first about what it was. Well,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Menaker said it was a large wooden horse possible. My
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: sources say that Trump got an email from somebody who
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: said that they were the Iatola's nephew and that he
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: had access to trillions of dollars reserves, but he needed
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: just a few thousand dollars in bitcoin to unlock those reserves.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: And they're going back and forth right now.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Trump accidentally is now apparently locked out of his devices.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Figure out because once they can get those trillion dollars
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: in reserves, it's going to be smooth sailing, is going
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: to give checks to every American.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: It's going to be incredible.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Did you see the moment in Bill Clinton's Epstein deposition
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: where he was asked about sending emails?
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: Oh no, oh, I'm going to send it to you.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: It's amazing, he boomer maxes. I think that's probably where
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Trump is on emailing too. You got to text it
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: to him and probably like really big font. But he continued,
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: He continued, we learned about his plans for an electric
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: plant a too.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: You know, if you read the papers, you think we're tied,
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: you think we're in a tough battle. We are roaming
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: free over Tehran, the city Terhen is opposed to Iran.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: We're roaming free. We can do whatever we want.
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: And as you know today, we were going to have
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: the privilege of shooting down a very big electric generation plant,
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: one of the biggest in the world, and one shot
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: to the right location ends the plant that collapses. And
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: we held off based on the fact that we're negotiating
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: so much.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: To him, pack Tehran not Iran. I like sometimes how
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: he gives insight into how his brain works. You see Tehran,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: you think Iran, but no, it's a city.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Tehran love to be.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: The first time he learned that the capital of Iran
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: was Tehran, Yes, it blew his mind.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: It's clever now also.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: And then there's Esfahan.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: One of his.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Criticisms of Barack Obama and many people on the rights
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: is they were often telegraphing plans, military plans. Here Trump
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: freelancing at a DHS swearing in ceremony in the Oval Office,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: says today we're gonna have the privilege of shooting down
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: a very big electric generation plant ostensibly before it happened Ryan, except.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: He didn't end up doing that because Iran threatened to
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: escalate if he did that, and he backed down.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: So is it a taco or is it him negotiating?
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Like actual question, because I think this is one thing
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: that people get wrong about Trump is that it's sometimes
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: called a taco, and it's like, I see where you
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: think it's called a taco. And he takes a lot
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: of l's on these things, rightfully. So other times he's
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: clearly just negotiating in public and wants to set the
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: parameters in a certain direction.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Taco in this case implies that he was going to
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: do something and then he chickened out.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: Right, I'm not convinced that's true.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I think that was market manipulation beginning to end, that
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: the front end threat was market manipulation and the back
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: end fake chickening out was more market manipulation and if
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: anybody's watching, By the way, there is a lot to
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: subpoena in twenty twenty seven when when Democrats are probably
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: going to take the House, they show subpoena power. So
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: we should like we need to like write down all
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: the things we want to know because we're going to
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: forget because there's so many things. So we need like
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven subpoenas dot org or something like that,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: and put on the list. Who are these investors, these
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: these no stra damas.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: Like ough traders. I'd love to know who went in and.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Bought made the perfect oil trade right before you know
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: he came out with his we're actually in fake negotiations
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: with Iran and who bought all of these s and
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: P futures like, because there's there are a couple of
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: traders that are making these massive trades that are perfectly
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: timed with Trump's fake moves the Monday was so we
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: need to put it on the subpoenal list for twenty.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Absolutely put it on the subpoenal list for twenty twenty seven.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Speaking of our negotiations, here's Secretary of War Pete Haig Seth.
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: A three the air campaign that we've conducted that Israel's
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: conducted alongside us was one for the history books, truly,
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: And it's because we have a president of the United States
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: that when he sends his war fighters out to fight,
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: he unties their hands.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: To actually go out and close with and destroy.
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: The enemy as viciously as possible from moment one.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: And that's why we.
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: See ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: negotiate with bomb You have a choice. As we loiter
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: over the top of Tehran, as the President talked about
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: about your future, President has made it clear that you
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: will not have a nuclear weapon.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: The War Department agrees.
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: Our job is to ensure that, and so we're keeping
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: our hand on that throttle as long as hard as
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: is necessary to ensure the interest of the United States
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: of America are achieved on that battlefield.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: We negotiate with bombs as we are also negotiating apparently
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: peace plan, point by point by point.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: And if you have a second and you're like a
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: juvenile like roll back and watch Trump's eyebrow raise.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: It's pretty good.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Also, if you are the guy that started the war
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: killing one hundred and sixty five plus little girls, would
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: you really keep celebrating how Trump untied your hands, like
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: he keeps talking about how there were all of these
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: stupid political rules of engagement that kept the US from
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: waging war the way that Pete Hags thinks that we
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: should wage war, and the first chance he gets to
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: put those rules into place, he double taps in elementary school.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean he would probably say successful Venezuela operation
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: civilian harm mitigated.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: All right, the first time he gets, the first time
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: he has a war against an actual.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: War a Middle Eastern country.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a raid that who knows you know
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: what what happened politically behind that?
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, truly we don't know.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah. So, yes, he did not double tap an elementary
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: school in Venezuela. I will give him that there.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: It is, yes, a very high bar for our war department.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Here's Donald Trump talking about maybe the right word for
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: this is cavalierly talking about a launch of missiles at
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: a US aircraft carrier.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: Next up with our great Patriot missiles. Think of it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: They shot one hundred missiles at one of our aircraft carriers.
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: He Abraham Lincoln, one of.
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: The biggest ships in the world actually, and of one
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: hundred and one missiles shot. Every single one of them
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: was knocked down in the sea. Think of that, Think
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: of what that means. One hundred and one missiles, highly sophisticated,
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: very fast missile shot at of one.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: Hundred and one.
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: All one hundred and one was shot down, and now
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: for the most part lie at the bottom.
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: Of the sea. Pretty amazing, right, pretty amazing. Our military
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: is amazing, Pete.
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: You know the attack I'm talking about recently, one hundred
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: and one shot. I said, wow, I saw that. You
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: can see we have sort of pretty good equipment that
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: we see. It's called the red line. Those red lines
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: were thick, right, I said, that's a lot. And then
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: we saw him, one by one just get shot.
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: And these guys that do the shooting and the coolest
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: cucumbers ever.
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: You know, most people, you don't have a lot of
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: time when a missile's going at twenty five hundred miles
• 23:52
  Speaker 8: an hour.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: He also just did the Shane Gillis but there Ryan
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: where Gillis's Trump impersonation. He explains by saying, I walked
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: into a room, I said, wow, what a beautiful He
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: literally just did that in the middle of a conversation
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: about war.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is the kind of information that the
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Department of War keeps under a.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Very tight lid.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: They do not let the public in on the amount
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: of volleys, you know, sent at the Lincoln Carrier group,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the fact that they had to expand their up Patriot missiles.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: They've they have other missile defenses on ships.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: But whatever, I.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Get details wrong too, me and Trump, it's fine, but
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: for him to reveal that is very interesting.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: We did not know that. And now people are speculating, oh,
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: that that.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Might explain why we're seeing the Lincoln Carrier Group kind
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: of shading further and further away from Iran, which makes
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: it more more difficult for US to project power back.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: And so if okay, great, good good.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: I'm glad for the sailors that they shot down the
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: one hundred and one missiles, but it shows how vulnerable
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: the carrier.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: Group is and how scary the situation is.
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: In a way that the US is not used to,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Like the US and Israel are used to just flying
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: over Gaza, dropping whatever bombs they want and then just landing,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: no no stress at all. Nobody's shooting back at them.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: We're now getting We're now getting shot at and we
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: are kind of retreating in significant ways. The Ford carrier group,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: they're like cooked, they're done it like supposed somebody didn't
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: clean the lint drawer and the and there was a
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: big fire in the dryer area. And now that now
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: that whole carrier group is out of commission for a
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: trillion dollars a year. We can't keep our carrier groups
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: close to Iran, even it's amazing.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Meanwhile, let's put up the next element.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: This is a five sentcom told Stars and Stripes yesterday
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: that a total of two hundred and ninety service members
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: have been wounded so far in Operation Epic Fury. The
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: majority of those two hundred and fifty five have returned
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: to duty. The number of seriously injured remains ten. We
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: also then should go to the next element from Barack Ravid,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: who reported yesterday a senior US official tells me the
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: eighty second Airborne Division Headquarters has received an order from
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: the Pentagon to deploy to the Middle East along with
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: several infantry brigades of thousands of soldiers. Raved says, why
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: it matters, this is a significant additional reinforcement to the
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: US four structure in the region ahead of a possible
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: ground operation in Iran.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Ryan. When you look at the.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: News, this is the escalation spiral in action that you
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: go back ten years from now, ten months from now
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: and do an autopsy. We'll see the military analysts go
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: back ten months around autopsy what just transpired or was
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: transpiring at the moment, and they'll say, these are the precipitating,
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: precipitating factors of escalation. We're watching it happen.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I can confirm that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: We heard the same yesterday that the eighty second Airborne
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: is being dispatched from Fort Bragg. They there are I'm
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: sure all sorts of plans being drawn up for Delta
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Force and these special operations types. The Carg Island, which
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: is this island that the Trump keeps getting pushed to seize,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: and you know, as it plays a very crucial role
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: in Iran's oil production and shipping, is constantly kind of
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: on the on the target list. And there was this
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: incredible I think it was in the paragraph from the
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Watching Post that said, you know, Defense Department officials are
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: you know, game planning out what it would take, and
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: they believe that they could seize Carg Island.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: Probably true.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: They we have like the most like special ops and
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: don forced guys and all hopped up on as Seth
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Harvest written the best drugs that they can ship into
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: our country.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: So they could take it.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: And then but then they had a line that said
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: they would for as long as they're there, they would
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: have to, you know, fend off a relentless volley of
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: drones and missiles.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: It's like, yeah, yes, like in perpetuity, that's right.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Like guys, So you're gonna put a whole bunch of
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: guys on an island right next to Iran, which part
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: of Iran? And what are they going to do about
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: the missiles and drones raining down on them? Like what
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: do you how are you going to fend those off?
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: You can be the baddest special operator on the planet.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: You can't just get rained on by drones and missiles
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: in perpetuity.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: You need to get resupplied constantly. Like that's again it's
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: escalation spiral.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: You have to not get blown up, which is hard
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: when you're getting missiles rained on you constantly. So it's
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: just it's not a thing that you can do unless
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: unless you completely like just vaporize Iran. Like as long
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: as iron exists and can fire off drones. Yeah right,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: those then those troops can't hold carg Island.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple poles to get to here. This one
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: is actually people started.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: Picking up of it.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: I feel about this well.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: People started picking up on this one yesterday. It was
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: actually a u gov poll that was done in mid February.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: We can put the next element up on the screen.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: This was just looking at a real news article pulled
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: out by Adam Johnson who said a new yu gov
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: poll shows twenty five percent of Americans falsely believe Iran
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: possesses nuclear weapons and forty five percent believe the also
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: false claim Iran has an active nuclear weapons program. And
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: I went back and followed the poll. It was taken
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: in mid February. I'm sure you would get very very
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: similar results if you conducted it today.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: Meanwhile, though, even with that, so just keep that in
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: your brain. Let's go to the next pole. A eight.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: This is genuinely a new pole.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: CBS News take in March seventeenth through twentieth, ninety two
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: percent of Americans want to end the conflict as quickly
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: as possible. Eighty percent say they want to make sure
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Iran's people are safe and free. Seventy three percent say
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: permanently stop Aron's nuclear programs, sixty eight percent say stop
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Iran from threatening other countries predictable results, but ninety two
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: percent saying end the conflict as quickly as possible.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: Run.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: I remember in our poll there were some interesting kind
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: of contradictory thoughts. You know, people desperately wanted the war
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: to end. So I find that to be a very
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: credible number people. Also in our poll we asked about
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: the ballistic missile program. They overwhelmingly American people do not
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: want Iran to have a ballistic missile program. I'd like
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I'd like to try to square some of that that
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: for people like Okay, well, what are you willing to do,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Like how much war are you willing to engage in?
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: Do you want to engage in to.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Make sure or like just as a yeah, should this
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: country that we believe is scary have a blistic missile program?
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: I can imagine of course, like most Americans be like no,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: why would we want a dangerous country to have dangerous weapons?
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: But then it's like, well, okay, the only way we're
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: gonna stop them from that is forever war.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: So I want to stop on this point, just briefly,
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: because it's been driving me insane. We remember when Diego
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Garcia was hit or was fired. They fired at Daego
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Garcia several days ago. There were people all over X
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: from the right taking dubs, being like, you're telling me
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Iron doesn't pose a quote imminent threat. Look at what
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: they just did. Their missile range is double what we
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: thought it was. If you go and look at the
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: countries that have full ice we're not even talking about
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. If you look at just ICBMs, how many
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: countries can cover the entire globe with their missiles. Do
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: we think that we should be going to war with
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: North Korea? Because if you're using your justification that this
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: is an anti American death cult and it needs to
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: be taken care of because they have a ballistic missiles
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: program that can hit much of Europe, and it's true
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: they do. That's absolutely accurate. North Korea's is bigger. North
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Korea's range is bigger than irons. So if that is
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: your justification, now I'm not saying it's everybody's only justification,
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: but the glibness that was being projected after the Diego
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Garcia incident was mind boggling because it's a justification to
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: go to war with other countries, but particularly with North Korea.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: And if you want to put that idea in Donald
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Trump's head and have America first. Donald Trump, then after
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: he finds some type of piece, he's already said that
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: we won the war, go on and say we're gonna
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: win a warrior with North Korea.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: Enjoy that.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now they've got nuclear tips on those ICBMs, which
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: also plays plays into how we're like, you know what
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: we're gonna pick on.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: We're gonna go pick on Cuba. I think actually Cuba
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: is the problem.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, total extermination. That's the name of the operation. We'll
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: get to that in just a moment. Ryan Pakistan getting
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: increasingly involved in this particular conflict. Go ahead, throw the
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: next element up on screen. This is Pakistan's Prime Minister
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: saying this just yesterday. Pakistan welcomes some fully supports ongoing
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: efforts to pursue dialogue to end the war in the
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Middle East and the interest of peace and stability in
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: the region beyond subject of concurrence by the US and Iran.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Pakistan stands ready and honored to be the host facilitate
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: meaningful and conclusive talks for comprehensive settlement of the ongoing conflict.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: We roughly already knew that, Ryan, but can you, maybe,
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: since you've covered Pakistan pretty closely in the last several years,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: explain to us the significance.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: According to our reporting, Wikoff has been there in Islamabad
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: for two days.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: They weren't returning his text messages.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: So he's like, maybe if I go to Islamabad, they'll
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: just meet me at the bar. They haven't yet, And
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: so Pakistan is trying to become the you know, the
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: new Oman. Here, the Iranians are quite skeptical of moving
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: the moving the brokering from Oman over to Pakistan. Pakistan,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Pakistani generals are and the Pakistani military in general are
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: are known like internationally as in a world of untrustworthy people,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: like the least trustworthy people. So if you were trying
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: to pick some pick a trusted intermediary to negotiate these
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: talks with, and with an adversary who is already not
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: trustworthy because they have gone to war with you twice
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: in the middle of negotiations Pakistan doesn't raise your confidence
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: level that this is on the up and up. So well,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: we'll see if Iran is like whatever, fine, whit coffs
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: already there, Sombad's beautiful this time of year. Pakistan apparently
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: is almost out of lng like the this and I
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: think the Arab Spring and other pro like. There was
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: this wave of protests in the early twenty tens around
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: the world. A significant and misunderstood or under understood role
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: in those protests was the spiking of energy and commodity
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: costs that flew out of the Great Financial Crisis of
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: two thousand and seven and eight. And because it made
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: bread and feel very expensive for people around the world,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: and they went out to the streets. I think I
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: think we're going to see a lot of that in
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: the next couple of years. And Pakistan is a place
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: you could very easily see it, like this place that's
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: like always just kind of on on the brink, getting
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: pushed getting pushed over it. So anyway, yeah, so we'll
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: say if that, maybe maybe they'll allow Pakistan to be
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: the place.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about a rock. This is Drop Site Reporting
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: and Bag Clears PMF. So the Popular Mobilization Forces to
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: defend themselves after a deadly strike on militia headquarters. This
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: decision you all wrote follows airstrikes on a PMF command headquarters.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: So let's put up a fifteen for the context. Sorry
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: to jump around.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: Yea shore rooms an on Bar province.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so a fifteen. Yeah, so this was yesterday
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: or two day. This is Monday. Air strikes in Iraq
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: on Iran backed paramilitary alliance kill at least fifteen fighters.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: So this is the US is basically an open war
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: with these Iranian allied Iraqi militias. But these militias are
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: not just freelance militias. They are a part of the
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: security service, the actual government security service. We can go
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: back to a tens as Emily was saying, the Iraqs
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: National Security councils. As Emily said, like, they're now authorizing
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: these military these militias.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: Like US forces.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: So that's state sanctioning of Iraqi aggression, not aggression. They
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: would call it defense because they were just fifteen of
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: them were just killed. It was always disproportionate, and when
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: you look at the numbers of people killed and wounded
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: on the other side versus US. But yeah, so the
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: green zone was completely evacuated. We need Iraqi airspace. We
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: invaded Iraq and spent trillions of dollars to like control it.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: I didn't even think I knew this. Moz was telling me.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: All of the oil proceeds from Iraq live in the
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: New York Federal Reserve, and we just send them pallets
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: of cash basically if we approve their budget, total colonial
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: structure there. Yet, despite that, they're shooting at us.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, despite all of the American troops that died over
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: the years, they're shooting at us. And now speak you
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: know which task and purpose. A eleven is reporting that
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: the Army's enlistment age has been raised to forty two.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: They also eased marijuana restrictions, So that's huge.
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: How are you going to find somebody that's going to
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: pass that test? Yeah?
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Now, I will say people are just like, does it
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: sound like Ukraine a little bit? I will say the
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: age limit for recruits being bumped from thirty five to
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: forty two in twenty twenty six, that actually might be
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: long overdue, just given how much healthier people are able
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: to stay into their forties. I don't know if it's
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: related to a recruitment crisis because of this ongoing war.
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: May well be, we'll learn more about it.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: But it also like people are staying much more healthy
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: into their their forties.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: Things, so all kinds of different things.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: Manosphere, keeping people fit. That's service.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: Yep, that's right, it's all. It's all the bros.
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: And let's do it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Let's jump to eight thirteen real quick, because that relates
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: to this Iraq conflict, the raq Us conflict.
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: It's a VO, so you can just roll A thirteen.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: This is an FPV first person you know, view drone
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: that is attacking Camp Victory, which is the US base
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: right off of the Bagdad Airport. And what's what's unique
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: about this one is that it identifies this like extremely
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: expensive radar attacks, it destroys it and then keeps going.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: So hits that or I guess gets footage of. It's
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: like there's I guess there's two of them, and one
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: of them gets footage and then then they go They're like,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: all right, what else should we blow up while we're here?
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: This is mostly evacuated base, and so there they find
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: a helicopter and boom there goes like an extremely expensive helicopter.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Noticed that they blurred that out.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Apparently what they blurred out is the they I guess
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: they maybe they realized in post production. They had blown
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: up a medical evac helicopter, which is less cool for them.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: You know, they're still happy to destroy any you know,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: military hardware that we have, but I think they would
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: prefer get to get one of those like helicopter gunships.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: And then probably somebody was as they're like editing, like
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: oh shoot, I think this is an evac medical evac helicopter.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: But either way, the point is the Iraqis are just
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: making mince meat of our hardware that we've that we've
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: left behind because there was a ceasefire that was agreed
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: to with the militias so that we could evacuate these
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: bases of personnel. And then right at right, I don't
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: even know if we announced that we were ending the ceasefire.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: That's when we bombed these officials in in our province.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Classic US is like.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: Oh ceasefire, did we say ceasefire?
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: We meant you cease fire at us so that we
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: can leave the base and then we kill you.
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: And so that's that.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: I think duplicity contributed to the broader Iraqi government saying
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: you know what, go ahead, you want to you want
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: to hit these these creeps, hit them.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: Let's let's wrap on this news.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: This is going to be a fourteen senior House Democrats
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: telling Axios that they are on war powers resolution is
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: set to pass. Quote most if not all, of the
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: four defectors are expected to flip and vote for the
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: measure this time because they were quote subject to intense
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: criticism from the party's grass roots.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: What do you make of that?
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: So?
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: I think that means that Breaking Points viewers have basically
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: bullied these these Democrats who are pro war into supporting
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: this war powers resolution. And the way you know that
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: it very likely has the votes to pass in the
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: House is that Jeffreys and Gregory Meeks are now saying that.
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: They want to postpone it.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: And as I've been reporting from the very beginning, Democrats
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: secretly like this war because they think it hurts Trump
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: and they think, you know, it helps their ideological project
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: of helping Israel and degrading Iran. Like a lot of
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Democrats support that ideological and imperial project, and all Democrats
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: want Trump hurt. This is obviously hurting Trump. And so
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: now that the House is on the precipice of a
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: historic war powers resolution vote that looks like it would
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: now pass on the floor and put real restrictions on Trump. Now,
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: what the Senate does and whether Trump abides by it
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: is a different question, But having the House go on
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: record against the war would be a consequential act.
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: So now that we're on the.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Cusp of that happening, Meeks and Jefferies are like, you
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: know what, maybe we'll pause this and come back in
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: like mid April and put it on the floor in
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: like three weeks because there's a recess coming up. So
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: Meeks has basically today and tomorrow to man up and
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: put this thing on the floor. Otherwise, otherwise you have
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: no choice but to believe what I've been telling you
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: that Democrats secretly want this war to continue. And what
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: does that mean. That means not only do they find
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: with the Iranian, Iraqi, Kurdish, like all Israeli, all the
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: people who are dying as a result of it, all
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: of the pain that you're suffering and will suffer economically
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: as a result of it. Now, in the weeks ahead,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: months ahead, and years ahead, Democrats.
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: Are okay with that because they might pick up an
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: extra couple seats in the midterms. What are they going
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: to do with those seats?
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: Nothing to go to war?
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they were already taking the house. Probably.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: I like the Massy idea of introducing a declaration of
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: war and seeing exactly who's going to vote for it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: I would love that to happen. That would be like kryptonite.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: That would be the worst post. Don't think that would pass. Yeah,
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: and let's move on to Lebanon, Ryan, because new developments
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: we can start rolling.
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: B one.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: This is footage from tire and Man. We're looking at
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: civilian neighborhoods here. If you're listening to this, you're just
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: seeing smoke rise from what does clearly.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: Appear to be five thousand year old city.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it does clearly appear to be a civilian neighborhood
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: right in the middle of what just looks like houses
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: and office buildings and the like.
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: Well, what we learned.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: Yesterday B two is that Israel's defense minister said the
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: military will occupy southern Lebanon up to the Tawny River,
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: marking the first clear statement of intent to seize the territory.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Reuters reported Ryan, what is that? I mean, what are
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: we looking at here? As the Iran operation continues, Lebanon
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: being in the shadow of that, I suppose Israel feels
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: as though it's the time is ripe to move in.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: Well, quote unquote, Greater Israel has always included, at a
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: bare minimum, all of this Lebanese land up to the
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Latani River, and for many, you know, much beyond that
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: as well. It is you know, it's just preposterous, Like
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: it's twenty twenty six, like the world has kind of moved.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: We thought beyond this kind of thing where you just
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: you take what you can. We are constantly told Israel
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: has a right to exist. Don't you believe Israel has
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: a right to exist? Does Lebanon have a right to exist?
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: Does it like Syria have a right to exist? Like,
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: it's not just that Israel, like every other country, has
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: a right to exist. Israel, unique among all other countries,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: has a right to exist, and the rest of your
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: existence is negotiable based on Israeli impulses. Now, the problem
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: when you put up B three here, the problem for
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Israel's is the people don't.
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: Want them there.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: It's the Lebanese are still resisting them. So there's this
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: quote that was circulating, how can we as Christians in
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: this area not be with hisbela?
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this was from the Telegraph.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: I had this Telegraph had an article that was actually
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: titled Christians and Hesbela unite against quote Epstein Empire and
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: southern Lebanon is mostly Shia territory, right, Ryan.
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: Epstein Empire. That's even better than Epstein class.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: Well, they're taking straight from Iran, the Epstein Empire, Epstein class,
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: Epstein propaganda. Although this one is sort of a gimme, yeah,
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: sort of a give me as far as propaganda goes.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: But Christians and I mean, well, actually, I'm sure it's
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: true of a lot of Muslims in Lebanon as well.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: There's previously this tension, or not previously, but kind of
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: always the simmering tension where even if you're Shia Lebanese Christian,
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: you have a little like there's friction with Hesbela among
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: a lot of Lebanese who say you're being controlled by Iran,
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: you're a puppet of Iran.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: Well, guess what happens when.
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: These attacks start ractioning up, You once again risk driving
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: people closer to Hesbolah. And I guess as an effect
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: of that, closer to Iran, to the extent that Hesbela
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: and Iran are connected.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And so far the Israelis have found Southern Israel
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: a little bit more difficult to take. So sorry, Southern Lebanon,
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Northern Israel, as they would like to see it a
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: little more difficult to take than they thought, you know,
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: they thought that they had completely annihilated Hesbelah.
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: It's one more blow to their.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: Their strategic appro coach that suggests that they're they're just
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: one round of bombing and one round of assassinations away from,
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: you know, the paradise of peace in which in which
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: they are able to just seize other countries territory and
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: just keep it indefinitely. Turns out people are pretty pretty
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: attached to there, to the land that they've been living
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: on for many thousands of years, and so that that's
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: going to be a that's gonna be a problem for
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: them because they've so far not been able to dislodge as.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: Blow and Ryan, there's this Haretz report that we want
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: to talk about as well, before the starvation case. So
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: the headline from Heratz is Palestinian minor who died in
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: Israeli prison was quote likely starved, but the case was closed.
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: This just happened.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Yesterday, Yeah, and I want to highlight this because Jasper
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Nathaniel had had written about this boy who was in
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: prison in detention, not charge arged with anything. And his
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: roommate was the American child who Jasper had been reporting
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: on relentlessly to get him, to get him and eventually
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: got him released.
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: He was accused of throwing stones.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: If you remember that kid's case, and that kid is
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: That kid is now free. But he told Jasper the
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: story of his roommate who was in horrific condition and
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: died in prison without ever being charged or any explanation
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: of why he was even in prison. And now now
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: this judge has said that that likely is what happened.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: And reading what reading what happened to this boy in prison,
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: I think we shouldn't let his We shouldn't let his
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: life pass without recognition of it. So Muhammed was Muhammed
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: Imberheim was. He was the sixteen year old American that
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: was with him. We can put this next element up
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: on the screen, this seventeen year old Walid Ahmad, who
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: was his kind of cell mate. And so he writes
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: here one of his salmates, seventeen year old Walid Ahmad,
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: whom he quickly grew close to, was visibly sicker and
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: weaker than the others. When Muhammad arrived Skin and Bones.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: Muhammad told me he had severe diarrhea, couldn't keep food down,
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: and shivered constantly. His skin was covered in scabies, which
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: was ripping through the prison, leaving all the boys infested
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: and scratching themselves raw. The boys, worried about Walid, begged
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: the guards to let him see a doctor.
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: They refused.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: On March twenty second, twelve days after Muhammad arrived at
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: the prison, Walid collapsed during their daily trip outside the cell,
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: falling face first and splitting open the bridge of his nose.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: A pool of blood formed around him. The boys rushed
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: to help and were pepper sprayed.
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: Boys went to.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: Help this boy who'd fallen on his face and were
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: pepper sprayed, which means Walid, with whatever consciousness he still
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: had left, was also pepper sprayed.
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: He goes on a pool of blood formed around him. Sorry,
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: Mohammed said.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: Whalleid remained conscious for about two minutes, looking around scared,
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: before losing consciousness again. A guard then arrived and Dragulead's motionless,
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: bodily body across the floor by his hair. So this
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: is they saw a seventeen year old child smash his
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: face on the pavement due to malnutrition that they were
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: forcing on him. Pepper sprayed him and then dragged him
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: away by his hair, and then so Jasper goes on,
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: if we can put the next one up. Four days later,
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: the boys learned that w Lead, who was never charged
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: with a crime, was dead. Back home, this is in
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: the US, Mohammad's family heard that a teenage boy had
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: died in Meguido and spent an entire unbearable day trying
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: to determine whether it was him. Instead, they learned it
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: was a boy from a neighboring town. An Israeli surgeon
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: who observed while leads autopsy reported that the seventeen year
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: old showed signs of prolonged starvation, extreme weight loss, and
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: muscle wasting, along with untreated colitis and scabies. A prison
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: medical report also revealed that he had complained to the
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: prison about inadequate food. Since at least December. His body
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: has still not been returned to his family. That's from
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: Jasper Nathaniel Substack a while ago. The news now in
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Haretz is that a judge is basically confirming all of this,
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: that this is all accurate and according to Haretz, Israel
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: is still keeping the body. Remember that Israel kept bombing
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: Gaza and had refused to move to the next phase
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: of the ceasefire because there was one remain of an
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: idea of soldier that they had not been able to find,
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: and that Hamas said they weren't looking for because Amasa
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: is like, we think he's over there, you control that area.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: They went weeks without even looking for it because they
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: didn't want that body back, because.
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: They wanted to continue the attacks. But the point is.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: The priority that they placed on getting those remains back,
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: setting aside all of the depravity that the reason from
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: beginning to end here they still won't even give his
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: body back.
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: And the case was closed and the judge.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: Says, we don't have enough evidence here. Likely looks like
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: he was starved to death, but the autopsy is not
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: definitive enough, so we're going to close the case.
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's we covered, what was it just last week?
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: The rape case that was there also wasn't enough evidence.
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: There was CCTV footage that was you know, you watched that.
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: You pretty much know what's going on there, and a
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: medical examination yea.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: And before we departed this segment I did want that
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: you can put up. I did want to just pay
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: pay our respects to Assam schabat drop site, our dropsite
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: colleague who one year ago yesterday was assassinated by the Israelis.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: I remember we were actually on the show together around
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: the time he was killed, and when I left the
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: studio getting getting the news that he'd been he'd been killed.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: They targeted him, they put his put his picture up,
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: they said they were going to kill him. They hunted him,
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: They flew a drone over top of him, dropped a
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: explosive device on him, split his body apart. Yeah, he
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: had his whole life ahead of him. Extremely talented journalists.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: We collected his stories onto one page that you can
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: go check over it over at drop site. So I
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: didn't want that, didn't want his anniversary of his assassination
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: to go without without remarking on that
