Starmer Resigns, Digital ID Rises, and the Iran Pause Looks Like Failure · International Flavor: Where the Truth Tastes Better

0:01
Hello, good morning. Welcome. Happy
0:04
freaking Monday to you. It is Monday
0:07
already, right? I'm not like a day
0:09
early. I can't like go home and
0:11
climb back into bed. Why was I freezing
0:13
my rear end off last night? That is the
0:16
important question on everyone's lips.
0:19
Frozen lips this morning. Why am I
0:23
freezing my butt off in the middle of
0:26
June? I don't understand it.
0:29
It just ain't right. It ain't right.
0:31
Well, let's all cry together. How about
0:33
them apples? Let's see. Um lots of news
0:37
today. The old
0:40
The
0:41
probably the most entertainment of all
0:44
is going to come from uh
0:47
old what's-his-nuts. What's-his-nuts
0:49
over there, the guy in England, the old
0:52
Starmer.
0:54
Yeah.
0:57
Yeah. That guy is entertaining if
1:00
nothing else. And now
1:03
he's given up. He's thrown in the towel.
1:05
So, here we are live at the Lake of the
1:08
Ozarks real estate of the art studio and
1:11
people's very lives are changing
1:14
over in England. They're no longer the
1:16
prime minister. I read a report last
1:19
night said that uh Prince Andrew
1:23
So, well, there are several several
1:25
British rep- I don't know how I got on
1:27
this ridiculous British channel, but I
1:29
started reading the British news. And uh
1:33
cuz they were talking about Starmer
1:34
bailing uh finally throwing in the
1:36
towel. I give up. I
1:38
I give up. I can't do it any longer.
1:42
And um
1:44
it interested me, of course, because he
1:47
should have gone long ago and he's got
1:49
like a 10% approval rating. And then
1:52
guess who has a higher approval rating
1:54
than Starmer?
1:56
Get this. Well, maybe even lower. Like
1:58
you know what? I got that backwards. Oh,
2:00
what the hell? I I I'm all I'm all
2:02
backwards up. It's Well, they're about
2:04
even.
2:05
Well, it depends on the day, I suppose.
2:07
Today Starmer's probably
2:09
higher. He has a higher opinion cuz he
2:12
finally laughed. Uh but,
2:16
the person who has a
2:18
lower rating is Prince Andrew.
2:21
So, Prince Andrew had to He's no longer
2:24
a prince, by the way. They stole that
2:26
title from him, and I forget what they
2:27
call him these days. But, uh he's the
2:30
Duke of blah blah blah. And those guys
2:32
don't have to be pure as the driven
2:34
snow, kind of like a prince does. You
2:36
know, all princes are, of course, very
2:39
uh uh
2:42
very
2:43
pure, pristine, uh pure as the driven
2:46
snow, like many of the uh
2:49
women I have dated.
2:51
Not. At any rate, um
2:55
Well, there was one, maybe.
2:57
>> [laughter]
2:58
>> Who was pure as the driven snow? Maybe
3:00
I'm on a roll this morning, friends and
3:02
neighbors. Let's get back to where we
3:04
were going. But, uh the old Starmer, the
3:06
senior Labour Minister, he's given up
3:09
that job, too, by the way. Said he's
3:11
leaving.
3:12
And his approval rating right now is
3:15
higher than Prince Andrew's. But, they
3:16
want to get rid of the
3:19
monarchy. They're saying that uh only
3:22
55%
3:23
of the people in a GB, Great Britain,
3:27
would like to uh
3:30
keep the uh
3:32
monarchy. They're even saying that
3:34
they're losing Commonwealth
3:36
participants, like the Commonwealth,
3:40
like
3:41
Australia,
3:43
Canada. They don't want anything to do
3:45
with a king, you know? Get rid of him.
3:48
You know, we don't need a monarchy. So,
3:49
they're they're less popular from their
3:52
heyday in the '80s and '90s cuz they
3:54
showed
3:56
Prince
3:57
or what was his name?
4:00
Lancelot and which was Richard Gere and
4:05
old Sir
4:07
Sean Connery as the king way back when
4:11
with that really really attractive
4:13
actress
4:14
who was torn between the two when
4:17
Lancelot and King Arthur were uh
4:20
battling back then.
4:22
People were all for monarchy, you know,
4:25
cuz you had good movies, you had Richard
4:27
Gere, you had all these hot people
4:29
having hot movies and even the bad guy,
4:31
Sir Maleficent or whatever his name was,
4:34
he was uh
4:36
uh Sir Malignant. I forget they named
4:39
[laughter] him. They named him something
4:40
crazy to get rid of him. But the story
4:42
goes like this. The uh senior labor
4:46
ministers refused to support their party
4:49
leader who has been beset or set upon by
4:54
scandal and broken promises. Isn't that
4:57
the definition of politics?
5:00
They're they they never
5:01
answer their promises. You know, is he
5:04
is he to turn out like uh
5:08
old Bush one?
5:10
Read my lips. No
5:12
new taxes. And then a week later
5:15
>> [laughter]
5:15
>> new taxes. The hell?
5:18
That's not right. You told me no new
5:20
taxes. Well, you know, here we go. Uh
5:23
the old Trumpster told me no new war and
5:26
here we are settling a war that we
5:29
started
5:30
by capitulating. I don't get it. Let's
5:33
see. But the price of fuel has come
5:35
down. You see that? I paid $3.49.
5:39
It's already come down 50 freaking
5:41
cents. Now, how is that possible?
5:44
How is that possible? It's not like we
5:47
get any of it. We never got any of it
5:48
before.
5:49
These people are raping us and they
5:52
aren't even kissing us first. You don't
5:54
even get a reach around. Nothing.
5:56
And they just screw you repeatedly.
6:00
But British Prime Minister Keir Starmer,
6:03
I think I'm going to change my name to
6:04
Keir. Wouldn't that be great? From now
6:06
on, I want you all to call me Loretta.
6:09
Uh I would like to be Loretta. I always
6:11
thought I'd like that name. So, I was
6:13
listening to Monty Python this morning
6:15
speaking in British and before we get
6:17
there, we're going to play that for you,
6:18
at least the end of the parrot sketch
6:22
when uh do you know uh
6:24
what is his name? The the one of the
6:27
most important players in Monty Python
6:29
was a barrister, was a lawyer.
6:32
And uh uh
6:34
John Cleese.
6:35
>> [snorts]
6:35
>> And uh he was was a lawyer and that guy
6:39
is so dry and hilarious, it's not even
6:42
funny.
6:43
And he uh
6:45
uh the one about the dead parrot. I I I
6:48
I heard the dead parrot one and and just
6:50
So, these songs, I have like 19,000 of
6:53
them or something like that that wrote
6:54
through or they rotate through my uh
6:58
my my truck and and this You never know
7:01
what you're what you're going to get.
7:03
And uh
7:04
I got the parrot sketch, the live parrot
7:08
sketch at Hollywood Bowl.
7:10
And uh it uh it it uh
7:14
is actually the best version of it and
7:16
and I got that. I'd love to share that
7:18
with you. Maybe I will.
7:20
Um
7:21
it where he says, "This is an
7:24
ex-parrot."
7:26
at the end, but he does it all so much
7:28
better. Let's see. Let's see if we can
7:30
find him. But first, let's tell you
7:32
about uh Kyiv launching a drone barrage
7:35
at Moscow. Zelensky gives an ultimatum
7:38
to Belarus. He wants to attack them. He
7:41
wishes to bomb them. Uh Trump says only
7:44
he
7:45
>> [laughter]
7:45
>> only he has the wherewithal to charge
7:48
people to cross the straits of Hormuz.
7:51
Only he can do that. Iran, you guys
7:55
can't do that. Only I can. Certainly
7:58
we're not going to allow it, but we
8:00
might charge people.
8:01
>> [laughter]
8:03
>> Trump, I love it. If you don't own
8:05
property, just take it. Then you know,
8:07
then charge people. You know, you don't
8:08
own the oil in Venezuela? Oh, well, now
8:11
we do. That's how it works. British
8:13
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has
8:15
announced that he will resign from his
8:17
post. Not soon enough. Come on, get the
8:20
hell out. Resign and will step down as
8:24
the leader of the Labour Party in an
8:26
address outside 10 Downing Street on
8:29
Monday. How do you like that?
8:31
In an address. How's he in an address if
8:33
he's outside of it? He's at 10 Downing
8:36
Street. Maybe they should say at the
8:38
address
8:39
outside 10 Downing Street on Monday.
8:42
Maybe we should be grammatically correct
8:44
here. Or if he's in the address, maybe
8:47
he should go inside and not stand on the
8:49
porch. You can't have it both ways, Mr.
8:52
Starmer. I know you're trying to, but
8:54
but during the address, how about that?
8:57
During the address outside 10 Downing
9:00
Street on Monday,
9:02
old Keir said he had already informed
9:05
King Charles III
9:08
of his decision and asked the the
9:10
brother of Andrew and asked the Labour
9:12
Party, who has a 10% rating, asked the
9:15
Labour Party to lay out a timetable to
9:18
elect a new leader by September, adding
9:22
that he's going to remain in his post
9:25
>> [clears throat]
9:26
>> at his post.
9:27
>> [laughter]
9:28
>> You can't be in your post. How are you
9:30
going to climb inside a piece of wood?
9:32
Come on. Until then.
9:35
Starmer became the Prime Minister in
9:37
2024 following Labour spelled l a b o u
9:41
r correctly in Great Britain party's
9:44
victory in that year's general election.
9:47
He repeatedly has vowed to stay in the
9:50
post on the post
9:52
at the post on the watch
9:55
but he faces pressure to resign amid
9:58
growing discontent
10:00
and the declining popularity of his
10:03
party and not only your party buddy boy
10:06
you you have no popularity either. His
10:10
resignation makes him the sixth UK Prime
10:14
Minister leave office in the past 10
10:16
years. You know maybe I shouldn't
10:18
analyze British grammar because these
10:20
guys they don't they don't go to sleep.
10:23
They don't take a nap. They take a
10:25
kipper.
10:26
We got a good kippon is on you know, you
10:28
got to keep a little bit. That's taking
10:30
a nap. You have a boot and that is the
10:33
trunk of your car.
10:35
What else? You there's all kinds of
10:38
weirdness going on over there.
10:41
Um
10:44
I don't know. They're British. They're
10:45
just odd. Maybe this person who wrote
10:48
it. Let's find out who it is. Maybe I
10:49
shouldn't complain.
10:52
Doesn't say.
10:53
That's nice.
10:54
Where is it?
10:56
Says I can share the story but doesn't
10:58
tell you who wrote it.
11:01
Well
11:03
how about them apples? His resignation
11:07
once more makes him the sixth UK Prime
11:11
Minister leave office in the past 10
11:12
years. How come we can't get our
11:14
[ __ ] to leave office? They never
11:15
leave. They stay there forever.
11:19
You can't pry them out with a crowbar.
11:21
Even when they're dead they'd like to
11:22
stay.
11:24
You know, that's that's uh
11:26
it's not good. It's just wrong. I don't
11:29
like it. Let's see. Where are going to
11:32
go here? You know what we're going to
11:33
look for? We're going to look for
11:36
uh Monty
11:39
Python
11:42
live
11:45
at
11:46
Hollywood
11:48
Bowl
11:49
parrot
11:51
sketch because you have to hear the
11:53
parrot sketch.
11:55
The dead parrot sketch Oh, the cheese
11:57
shop is also quite funny.
11:59
And uh the silly secret policeman's
12:02
ball.
12:03
That's pretty good, too. Here's the full
12:05
show. The dead parrot sketch live.
12:09
Here it is. But that's only a minute 42.
12:13
And uh
12:15
we're never going to get there. Monty
12:17
Python live at the Hollywood Bowl.
12:21
But they only play the full thing. I
12:22
don't want the full thing.
12:24
They have the Four Yorkshiremen, too. By
12:26
the way, I was in um
12:29
uh when I was in high school, me and a
12:31
bunch of buddies did uh the Four
12:34
Yorkshiremen
12:36
um
12:37
from Monty Python uh Hollywood Bowl when
12:40
they were And and maybe we'll play that
12:42
one. We'll have We'll call this the
12:43
Monty Python show because in honor of
12:46
Mr. Starmer
12:48
who uh is leaving and uh
12:51
uh What Who's the guy So I I watch uh uh
12:55
Alex Christoforou, and at the end of
12:57
every show he has something he calls his
13:00
uh
13:04
Darn it. It's like funny show. It's like
13:07
uh stupidity, you know, uh
13:09
things that's So your stupid pet shows.
13:11
So your your stupid pet tricks. Only
13:13
ours are stupid uh stupid adult tricks.
13:16
Stupid politician tricks. And he puts
13:19
them out there. Uh this would be a good
13:21
one. We could have Keir Starmer. Despite
13:23
entering office with a large majority
13:26
and a promise to restore competence
13:29
after years of conservative turmoil.
13:32
Yeah, we got to get rid of the
13:33
conservatives, right? Starmer's
13:35
government quickly became associated
13:38
with tax hikes, welfare cuts,
13:41
censorship, political scandal, and an
13:44
increasingly unpopular foreign agenda.
13:49
Mhm.
13:51
He has faced growing backlash over what
13:53
critics have described as two-tier
13:56
policing and radical censorship after
13:59
authorities cracked down on
14:00
anti-immigration protesters, online
14:03
speech, and pro-Palestinian activism,
14:06
but pushed broader internet control. And
14:09
then they arrest people if they're white
14:11
and male and complain about
14:14
people of color or the invasion of of
14:18
Britain by Arab and African
14:22
Muslim countries.
14:25
Starmer [clears throat]
14:26
made support for Ukraine the central
14:29
element of his premiership, joining
14:32
France and Germany, two other jokers,
14:35
with a very, very low ratings. What's
14:38
his name? Macron was at 16%
14:41
and Merz is just under 20, like 19.8.
14:46
In an increasingly militarized Ukraine
14:49
policy built around what? Weapon
14:51
deliveries, security guarantees, like
14:54
you can guarantee your own security, let
14:57
alone
14:59
Ukraine's. You can't do it. And pressure
15:02
on Russia rather than diplomacy. At
15:04
home, his stance on Ukraine clashes with
15:07
Britain's own defense problems. His
15:08
government has struggled to find money
15:10
for its own armed forces and has faced
15:13
procurement failure
15:15
and growing concern over military
15:18
readiness.
15:19
Starmer faces backlash after appointing
15:22
politically connected figures with ties
15:25
to the late financier and pedophile
15:28
Jeffrey Epstein as ambassador to the
15:30
United States. The scandal reinforced
15:33
criticism that his government serves the
15:36
insulated elite white
15:40
while failing to deliver for ordinary
15:44
voters.
15:46
How about that?
15:54
Crazy freaking sauce.
15:58
Let's see.
16:01
Russia did it.
16:02
Um
16:03
>> [laughter]
16:05
>> Keir Starmer article is all about. Here
16:07
you go. Hang on, this is fun, too. We're
16:09
going to keep on Keir Starmer.
16:12
Arson Gate's missing piece.
16:15
After a British court verdict, this came
16:18
out the 20th of June, so two whole days
16:21
ago.
16:22
Britain's media machine rushed to blamed
16:25
Moscow despite investigators admitting
16:28
they had no proof of state involvement.
16:33
A coordinated UK
16:35
UK media campaign surrounding a
16:38
Ukraine-linked
16:40
arson plot cannot hide the obvious holes
16:44
in the story Britain wants its citizens
16:47
to believe. Well, us, too. They want us
16:49
to believe that it was all Russia,
16:52
Russia, Russia. Russia, Marsha.
16:56
Marsha, Russia.
16:58
>> [clears throat]
16:58
>> After a year of mounting mystery,
17:01
fevered speculation, and strange media
17:04
silence,
17:05
a UK court has finally reached a verdict
17:08
in the bizarre case of Arson Gate.
17:12
In May 2025, a series of incendiary
17:15
attacks were carried out on a car and
17:18
two London properties linked to acting
17:21
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. See,
17:24
they're already calling him acting UK
17:26
Prime Minister. How do you like that?
17:29
On June 15th, two young Ukrainians were
17:31
convicted while another was acquitted.
17:34
The case against the guilty pair seems
17:36
open and shut, but for many it just
17:39
doesn't feel right. How are we How could
17:42
it be a Ukrainian? It has to be a
17:43
Russian.
17:45
How did prosecutors manipulate the
17:47
ArsonGate trial? The unconvinced include
17:51
a lawyer of Petro Pochynok. Pachynok.
17:57
Pachynok. Uh the 34-year-old arrested in
17:59
June 2025 on the charges of conspiring
18:03
with fellow Ukrainian nationals Roman
18:06
Lav
18:07
Lavrynenko Cheev.
18:09
Lav Lavrynenko Vich, Lavrynenko Vich,
18:12
and Stanislav Karpyuk, 21 and 26
18:16
respectively. Uh Pochynok
18:19
walked free. The other two were
18:22
convicted of damaging property by fire
18:25
and reckless endangerment of human life.
18:28
On June 16th, Pochynok's defense counsel
18:32
remarked on X,
18:36
"I still find my head pickled over what
18:39
real underlying truths were never
18:42
exposed. In fact, it was very clear what
18:46
underlying truths were not exposed
18:48
during the trial by court order. When
18:52
proceedings began in May of this year
18:54
with Lavrynenko Vich and Karpyuk having
18:56
spent close to 12 months in the UK's
18:59
high-security Belmarsh prison,
19:01
prosecution attorneys dramatically
19:03
announced the arson attacks on Starmer's
19:05
old property
19:07
had been orchestrated online
19:10
by a shady Russian-speaking Telegram
19:14
user
19:15
L Money, E L Money. However, jurors were
19:19
then told to completely disregard this
19:22
literally explosive information when
19:24
reaching a verdict on the three accused.
19:27
There are obvious echoes in the recent
19:29
trial of Palestinian action activists in
19:32
the UK, where the presiding judge, who
19:35
had previously represented MI6 in court,
19:38
ruled that jurors could not consider why
19:41
activists committed the crimes of which
19:43
they were accused. Unable to argue in
19:46
court that their actions were
19:47
proportionate to prevent slaughter in
19:49
Gaza,
19:51
the actionists were convicted for
19:53
lengthy terms as terrorists.
19:56
Why did the Arson Gate judge rule key
19:59
information as being irrelevant?
20:03
"It is not part of your consideration to
20:05
decide who L Money is and what reason he
20:09
might have had to coordinate the actions
20:12
of these defendants," said the chief
20:14
prosecutor. Defense lawyers attempted to
20:17
breach this conspiracy of silence and
20:20
demanded prosecutors hand over all
20:23
information that they held on L Money.
20:26
They were specifically interested in
20:29
whether he might be a spy and his
20:31
country of residence. However, the judge
20:34
ruled these crucial matters to be wholly
20:37
irrelevant to any issue before the jury.
20:41
In summing up, prosecution lawyers
20:43
claimed that L Money was seeking to
20:46
destabilize our society, but went on to
20:49
remind the jury it wasn't their job to
20:52
determine who L Money might be or what
20:55
motivation he or she might have had.
20:58
Lavrinovich's lawyer still tried to
21:00
place questions about L Money, the
21:02
anonymous devil who manipulated who
21:05
would manipulated, used, won.
21:08
Calling Elmoney the one winner in this
21:11
case, they suggested the anonymous
21:13
Telegram user is a Russian.
21:16
>> [laughter]
21:17
>> Russian agent.
21:19
What we do we know about him? Nothing.
21:21
There's the quote from the Lavrynovych's
21:24
lawyer. What do we know about him?
21:26
Nothing. Where's he from? Who might have
21:28
had had an interest in trying to
21:30
undermine this country, undermine this
21:33
country's support for Ukraine, who are
21:35
fighting for their liberty? Oh, yeah,
21:37
that's what they're fighting for. Who
21:39
might do that but Russia? Let's call it
21:41
out. Russia is interested in what this
21:44
country does in support of Ukraine. This
21:46
person or speaker or people spoke
21:50
excellent Russian. Lavrynovych's thunder
21:53
Lavrynovych's
21:55
lawyer thundered. Well,
21:57
yeah, but
21:59
all Ukrainians speak Russian.
22:01
>> [laughter]
22:02
>> It's the rare Ukrainian that doesn't
22:04
speak Russian. That's what they except
22:06
for the the if you're under 30, maybe,
22:09
but everybody else, absolutely. If
22:11
you're under 30, they've been trying to
22:13
outlaw Russian everywhere and you're
22:16
supposed to hate them, right? That's how
22:17
it's supposed to be.
22:20
Mhm.
22:22
However, the lawyer neglected to mention
22:24
how Elmoney conversed in perfect
22:27
Ukrainian, according to Lavrynovych, a
22:30
language very few Russians speak. Well,
22:33
that's true. While southern Russians can
22:35
more easily understand Ukrainian or even
22:39
mimic it, cases in which a Russian born
22:42
in the Russian Federation speaks
22:44
excellent Ukrainian are rare and quite
22:47
unlikely, given Kyiv's aggressive
22:49
cultural posturing and lack of need for
22:51
Russians to speak Ukrainian.
22:54
Many Ukrainians speak Russian, which is
22:57
natural, giving it is a lingua franca of
23:01
the former Soviet space. While only a
23:05
minority of Russians understand
23:07
Ukrainian, let alone speak it. This
23:10
shocking fact wasn't reported while the
23:13
trial was ongoing and has been
23:15
completely drowned out by an
23:17
extraordinary mainstream information war
23:21
that erupted only hours after the jury
23:23
verdict was announced.
23:28
Was the UK behind the campaign to blame
23:31
Russia for Arson Gate? First, BBC
23:35
released a ready-for-TV 30-minute
23:38
Panorama documentary.
23:40
The Starmer Files, The Russian Connected
23:44
Connection, accompanied by a lengthy
23:47
essay
23:48
published on the state broadcaster
23:51
website. Clearly, the BBC has been
23:54
working on the investigations while the
23:56
trial was going on and somehow acquired
23:59
evidence on the case that couldn't be
24:01
considered in court.
24:03
>> [snorts]
24:03
>> According to the BBC's suspiciously
24:06
timed release,
24:08
Elman is a young Russian diplomat
24:12
schooled in information warfare by spies
24:15
and propagandists who is close to the
24:18
highest levels of power in Moscow.
24:22
How about that? This, the El in his
24:26
pseudonym, allegedly refers to the
24:28
23-year-old's real-life initials. The
24:31
elite Russian spy, according to the
24:34
British state broadcaster, used his own
24:37
initials on a Telegram account in which
24:39
he's alleged to have ordered a grave act
24:41
of terrorism against an elected leader.
24:44
In other words, the elite spy left a
24:47
pretty convenient digital footprint for
24:49
the BBC and other mainstream digital
24:51
sleuths to trace.
24:54
Elman appears highly incompetent in
24:57
other ways, not only in tying his
24:59
account to his own name, but his
25:01
activities on Telegram supposedly link
25:04
him directly to Russian spy agencies.
25:09
Yeah, that's what they do. An enormous
25:11
amount of information was seemingly
25:13
collected on EL Money
25:16
by the BBC and others after Karpiuk and
25:19
Levrynovych were arrested, suggesting
25:22
the account wasn't deleted contrary to
25:25
basic tradecraft.
25:28
Who were the BBC's spooky conspirators
25:31
in the media campaign? After the BBC's
25:34
one-two PR punch, The Bellingcat linked
25:38
Insider
25:39
published an investigation validating
25:42
the broadcaster's identification of EL
25:45
Money, including photos and biographical
25:49
details, also apparently long in the
25:52
making. The Insider's investigation
25:55
chief is Christo Grozev, a prominent
25:59
former member of Bellingcat. He left the
26:02
organization
26:03
under strange circumstances at the end
26:06
of 2022, having spent much of that year
26:09
spreading anti-Russian disinformation
26:11
related to Ukraine's proxy war.
26:14
Allegations that Grozev, a self-styled
26:17
journalist, worked with Ukrainian
26:19
intelligence, personally participating
26:21
in shadow operations, dogged him
26:23
throughout his time at Bellingcat.
26:27
Why were Ukrainian Were Ukrainian
26:30
sources the first to blame Russia? It
26:32
may be no coincidence then that
26:34
notorious Ukraine kill list website,
26:37
Mirotvorets, subsequently published a
26:40
dedicated profile on the 23-year-old
26:42
Russian
26:43
supposedly behind the EL Money account.
26:46
Mirotvorets is confirmed to be run by
26:49
Ukrainian spies. Several of its targets
26:52
have been murdered. The young man's full
26:54
address, phone number, and passport
26:56
details are listed. They can't arrest
26:59
him though. That's That's odd. A section
27:03
titled liquidation date that
27:06
uh
27:07
that records the date the listed person
27:09
has been killed or died is for now
27:12
blank.
27:14
>> [laughter]
27:14
>> However, it is not only El Money's
27:18
digital footprint that apparently
27:20
provided vital clues as to Russia's
27:22
culpability for the arson attack on
27:24
Starmer. In June 2025, Skemu,
27:28
a Ukrainian language investigative
27:31
reporting project maintained by the CIA
27:34
CIA created Radio Liberty, published a
27:38
deep dive on how the arsonists were
27:40
likely recruited by Russia.
27:44
Evidence for this highly qualified claim
27:46
was non-existent.
27:48
Skemu's reporter
27:51
simply concluded that Lavrinovich may
27:53
have been recruited by Russian security
27:55
services via Telegram solely on the
27:58
basis that he was actively seeking
28:00
employment on the platform from 2022 to
28:03
2025. Nothing more. Most of the work he
28:07
sought was in construction or
28:09
hospitality often for cash, Skemu
28:12
reported. Weeks prior to his arrest, he
28:15
had posted looking for a job option to
28:18
any option.
28:20
There's every chance perfect Ukrainian
28:22
speaker El Money spotted Lavrinovich in
28:25
this matter.
28:27
>> [laughter]
28:28
>> This is freaking hilarious. What have
28:30
British spy agencies reportedly
28:33
concluded about Arson Gate?
28:36
Skemu's investigation was released at a
28:38
time UK officials have been probing
28:41
whether Russian actors may have
28:42
recruited Lavrinovich and Karpiuk, but
28:45
were far from sure. The Financial Times
28:48
reported how counter-terrorism police
28:50
leading the investigation are keeping an
28:53
open mind about motive.
28:57
UK officials were hedging their bets
28:59
even further, cautioning that even if
29:02
they concluded the arson attacks
29:03
originating in Russia, that would not
29:06
necessarily mean they were ordered by
29:08
the Kremlin or that the suspects were
29:11
aware of any Russian involvement.
29:13
According to the BBC, British
29:16
counter-terror police remain stumped on
29:18
this question.
29:20
The broadcaster's long read not only
29:23
revealed law enforcement had not been
29:25
able to prove the identity of Yevgeny or
29:29
who he was working for, but a senior
29:31
police chief stated plainly, "We've got
29:34
no evidence to suggest this was a
29:37
state-backed threat."
29:40
However, the BBC reassured its readers
29:43
that unspecified sources had informed
29:46
its reporters, which included veteran
29:48
Ukrainian propagandist Olga Malchevska,
29:51
authorities in the UK and in Ukraine
29:53
have privately concluded Russia was
29:56
behind the arson attacks.
30:00
The BBC didn't explain why authorities
30:03
in Ukraine have independently
30:05
investigated a high-profile case that
30:08
occurred in the UK or apparently
30:10
considered the huge vested interest Kyiv
30:12
might have in framing Russia for the
30:14
arson targeting Starmer's properties.
30:17
The mainstream mania over Moscow's
30:20
culpability for these attacks, which the
30:22
recently concluded trial failed to
30:24
consider,
30:25
>> [snorts]
30:25
>> in fact were ordered not to, and
30:27
investigating police found no evidence
30:29
for spells that out very clearly. A
30:33
common refrain from UK politicians is
30:35
that the arson proves it's essential to
30:38
defeat Putin in Ukraine.
30:41
>> [laughter]
30:43
>> So, I have to beat Putin because three
30:45
idiot 21 to 26 year old kids on the
30:50
instructions of God knows who
30:53
um
30:54
decided to bomb his car and two of his
30:56
resident or maybe two cars and a
30:58
residence, I forget. But, uh what's the
31:01
bottom line?
31:03
The media campaign should be viewed as
31:06
just that, a media campaign, a concerted
31:11
state-backed information effort to frame
31:14
the narrative already inscribed in the
31:17
British public's consciousness, which
31:20
fatal
31:21
which facilitates riding roughshod over
31:24
critical holes in its own narrative.
31:27
But, don't take my word for it. Consider
31:30
how senior counter-terror police who
31:32
investigated the case thoroughly and
31:35
brought it to trial unequivocally cannot
31:38
find any
31:40
>> evidence that EL money was working for
31:43
any hostile state, let alone Russia.
31:45
They also can't confirm the connection
31:48
between them.
31:50
>> Still, the BBC's readiness to publish a
31:53
TV documentary and long-form material
31:56
immediately after a court decision full
31:59
of information that the presiding judge
32:01
and prosecutors did not want discuss and
32:04
did not emerge during the trial clearly
32:07
suggests a significant overlap between
32:11
British state media
32:13
the country's spying apparatus and its
32:17
own legal process.
32:20
How about them apples?
32:23
Isn't that freaky freaky Friday?
32:27
Uh uh maybe this is why Starmer maybe
32:30
this is why he's so popular uh and why
32:33
he is banning kids from social media.
32:36
He's protecting children, he says,
32:38
right? Uh this this article came out uh
32:41
the 16th of June, right before he left.
32:44
Mhm.
32:46
British Prime Minister Starmer has
32:48
announced that under 16s are banned from
32:52
social media and adults will have to
32:54
verify their identity to use major
32:56
platforms. Critics say it's an
32:58
opportunity for Starmer to fulfill his
33:00
long-term goal goal of introducing
33:03
digital ID by the back door. Starmer
33:07
announced a ban on Monday declaring that
33:09
he's simply not prepared to be a
33:11
bystander when the safety and happiness
33:14
of our children are at stake. According
33:17
to information released by his office,
33:19
children under 16 will be banned from
33:22
user-to-user apps like X,
33:26
Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook and will
33:29
also be forbidden from live streaming
33:32
and messaging strangers on gaming apps.
33:36
So-called romantic companion AI chatbots
33:41
will also be banned and 16- and
33:43
17-year-olds will face nightly social
33:47
media curfew.
33:49
The ban will come into force next year.
33:51
How do you feel about this?
33:55
I don't know. I I'm This is weird. On
33:57
the surface, the ban is an easy win for
34:00
Starmer. Nine out of 10 parents told The
34:02
Guardian newspaper putting this out that
34:05
they would support such a ban while 76%
34:09
of all Britons, parents or not, back the
34:12
measure. According to a YouGov poll,
34:16
with Starmer facing a leadership
34:18
challenge from within his in his own
34:20
party and with his own approval rating
34:23
languishing at a miserable 16%,
34:27
the timing of the ban was convenient for
34:30
him. Well, it it
34:32
He ended up bailing anyway.
34:35
2,102
34:37
Great Britain adults, including 350
34:42
parents with children under the age of
34:44
18.
34:45
Now, why in the world would you
34:50
have such a lopsided number? I'm not
34:53
saying you shouldn't have all Great
34:54
Britain adults, but think about this.
34:56
350 out of 2,112.
34:59
That means 1,700-ish
35:01
of these
35:03
1,750 or so
35:05
of these people interviewed don't have
35:07
any kids under the age of 18.
35:11
Why does their opinion matter? Who gives
35:12
a crap about their opinion? I mean, you
35:14
should, but when it when it comes to the
35:16
to the kids, right? The question was
35:20
"Would you support
35:23
or oppose banning children under the age
35:25
of 18
35:27
from having social media accounts
35:29
accounts age of 16. Sorry, I can't see.
35:33
Um so, all Britons 76% support that
35:38
measure. Parents with children under 18,
35:41
77. So, 1% off.
35:45
Oppose the ban, 16% of all Britons and
35:48
14% of uh
35:51
of those with I wonder if their numbers
35:53
if they just didn't describe this
35:55
properly.
35:57
If they only interviewed 300 and only
36:00
asked the question of 350 parents with
36:03
children under the age of 18 and asked
36:05
2,102 Great Britain adults without
36:08
determining whether they had children
36:10
under the age of 18.
36:12
I don't know. They're not very obvious
36:13
in how they put these numbers together
36:15
and numbers definitely might might
36:17
matter.
36:20
Question number two. How effective, if
36:22
at all, do you think a ban on children
36:24
under the age of a 16 from having social
36:27
media accounts would be at stopping
36:29
children from creating and using social
36:32
media accounts.
36:34
Uh parents say 45%
36:37
very efficient.
36:39
And uh
36:40
32% of all Britons say that. Not very
36:43
effective at all, however, 59%
36:47
They had
36:48
It's not going to It's not going to help
36:50
at all. So, things are messier when uh
36:53
it comes to the ban's enforcement.
36:56
Details of the ban's enforcement
36:58
mechanism remains vague, but over 16s
37:01
will need to prove their identity in
37:03
order to use apps restricted for
37:05
children. Now, this is the problem in my
37:08
point of view. This is crap. Starmer's
37:11
office said that the age verification
37:13
will be to use the same model
37:17
for social media ban as in Australia.
37:21
Now, Australia, they're Gestapo over
37:23
there.
37:24
Y- Y- And the PM said that it will build
37:27
on
37:28
our experience with the online safety
37:31
act.
37:32
In Australia, where a social media ban
37:35
has been in place since December, users
37:38
are required to prove they are over 16
37:42
by allowing their face to be scanned or
37:45
submitting government-issued
37:47
ID with platforms in charge of
37:50
conducting these checks.
37:53
The UK's online safety act already
37:56
requires users to prove their age in
37:59
order to access pornographic websites
38:02
with facial scanning,
38:04
open banking information,
38:07
credit card checks, photo ID, and
38:11
digital ID all considered acceptable
38:14
forms of proof by the UK's communication
38:17
regulator Ofcom.
38:20
How about that?
38:24
Is the ban an excuse to push a digital
38:27
ID? Starmer tried and failed to
38:29
introduce mandatory digital ID last
38:32
year.
38:33
Claiming that it would allow the
38:34
government to keep better track of
38:36
illegal migrants.
38:39
The plan was fiercely opposed by all
38:41
opposition parties. We can't even get
38:43
one to vote here.
38:45
>> [laughter]
38:46
>> With Reform UK leader Nigel Farage
38:49
saying it would make no difference to
38:51
illegal illegal immigration, but will be
38:54
used to control and penalize the rest of
38:56
us. Absolutely
38:58
true in America, too. Let's listen to
39:00
him just because it's fun. How long is
39:02
this?
39:04
A minute. Oh, let's see what old old
39:06
Nigel Farage is freaking hilarious, by
39:09
the way.
39:10
He's a comic.
39:11
How come I can't stop him? There we go.
39:14
Okay.
39:15
We're going to listen to him here. Hang
39:16
on.
39:17
Hopefully he's not too loud.
39:21
>> Say the Prime Minister says we must have
39:22
digital ID. That's the way we'll stop
39:25
illegal immigration. Well, think about
39:27
it. Germany has ID cards, strict ID and
39:31
checks. It's made no difference at all
39:34
in Germany, and nor will it here. All
39:36
that digital ID will be is a means of
39:39
controlling the population,
39:41
of telling us what we can and can't do,
39:43
of finding the innocent. Uh and didn't
39:45
we see it all
39:47
when we had the pandemic? When you had
39:49
to have vaccine ID to travel, to do
39:52
various things. Did that stop the COVID
39:54
pandemic spread spreading? Did it hell.
39:56
All it did was put cost and
39:58
inconvenience on everybody else. I also
40:00
worry
40:02
about massive data banks being held by
40:04
the government, being hacked by foreign
40:07
governments, by private companies, by
40:09
criminals. I do not see a single benefit
40:13
to the government having digital ID
40:16
other than them controlling what we do,
40:18
what we spend, and where we go. And we,
40:21
in Reform, are wholly opposed to it in
40:24
every single way.
40:27
>> Who do you think they want to win
40:30
>> [clears throat]
40:30
>> this newspaper?
40:31
Uh Nigel Farage. Now, he's he's good to
40:33
listen to and and he's
40:36
uh
40:37
decent
40:39
uh
40:39
uh well-spoken. He He's Reform Party,
40:42
right?
40:43
Don't don't don't punish the rest of us.
40:45
Um speaking of which, there was I got a
40:51
Let's see if I can find that real quick.
40:53
I'm pretty sure I have it here.
40:56
I
40:59
Where is this?
41:04
Lake View Loan Settlement Agreement,
41:08
apparently. So, I got a an ad in the
41:11
uh something in the mail the other day
41:13
that said
41:14
uh and I scanned it. It's a uh
41:17
a notice
41:19
that uh court-approved legal notice,
41:23
Lake View Data Breach Settlement. I'm
41:25
part of a class action.
41:29
And the class It's Kroll Settlement
41:31
Administration LLC.
41:34
Uh your information may have been
41:37
exposed to an alleged data breach.
41:39
There's a $26 million
41:42
cash settlement of a lawsuit, and you
41:44
may be entitled to money.
41:47
To be part of the settlement, you have
41:49
to respond by June 22.
41:52
And I can visit this place, so I have to
41:55
respond by today in order to get my
41:57
cash, okay?
41:59
And basically,
42:01
um
42:02
that's what I believe. And and I'll tell
42:04
you something about that when we get
42:06
finished with it, but Nigel was saying
42:08
what bothers me about it
42:10
is data breach, government control of
42:13
your information that gets stolen by
42:16
government workers or worse, hacked by
42:18
non-government workers. But usually
42:20
it's, you know, when they get to the
42:22
bottom of it, it's some insider that's
42:24
got it all.
42:25
Anyway, dozens of Starmer's fellow
42:27
Labour Party MPs condemn the scheme. A
42:31
public petition against digital ID
42:33
gained more than 1.5 million signatures
42:36
and Starmer backed down in January. As
42:39
of now, digital ID remains optional in
42:41
the UK.
42:43
According to Ofcom, their their figures,
42:46
89% of adult internet users in the UK
42:49
use at least one social media platform.
42:53
By making these users prove their
42:55
identity before accessing social media,
42:58
Starmer's ban essentially forces a form
43:01
of digital ID onto a population that
43:03
rejected it last year. At least that's
43:06
how tech executives see the ban. X owner
43:09
Elon Elon Musk described the law as wolf
43:12
and sheep's clothing and said the real
43:14
goal is to enable the UK government to
43:17
track everyone. The verification is the
43:21
point, Shopify CEO uh Toby Lutke wrote
43:25
on X. Won't someone think of the
43:27
children is usually never about the
43:30
children.
43:32
Who could the UK social media ban
43:35
effect? The law could affect all
43:37
smartphone users, not just those who use
43:39
social media. Meta, which owns Facebook
43:41
and Instagram, has argued the
43:43
verification should be carried out by
43:45
Apple and Google when smartphone users
43:48
set up iOS or Android rather than by
43:50
individual social media platforms. While
43:52
this would allow Meta to avoid the legal
43:55
responsibility of carrying out these
43:56
checks itself, it would also tie every
43:59
iOS or Android account to a real person
44:02
and every British smartphone user to
44:05
their device. Starmer favors this
44:07
approach. Yeah, there's a surprise. One
44:10
week before announcing the ban, he
44:12
called on Apple and Google to implement
44:14
such device level checks, supposedly to
44:17
make it impossible for children to take,
44:20
share, or view nude images. Implementing
44:24
this law would require the tech
44:26
companies to scan every photo taken or
44:29
received on a device for nudity, a
44:32
measure that Apple introduced in 2021,
44:35
but scrapped two years later amid outcry
44:38
outcry from privacy activists. Signal,
44:41
an encrypted messaging app, threatened
44:44
to leave the UK if Starmer's phone
44:47
scanning plan went ahead.
44:49
Forcing all UK residents to prove their
44:52
age and/or have all their content
44:54
scanned simply to exercise their
44:56
fundamental right to communicate is a
44:58
perilous proposition, the company said.
45:00
We know that mass surveillance and
45:02
censorship capabilities will be
45:03
expanded, forming a dangerous tool that
45:06
will be wielded both in the UK and
45:08
abroad to censor and surveil whatever
45:11
they might consider a threat or harmful
45:15
content. How could Starmer's social
45:18
media ban be abused, you might ask?
45:20
Well, let me tell you. Linking every
45:22
social media account to an identifiable
45:24
person
45:26
would effectively spell the end of
45:28
online anonymity in the UK. And by the
45:32
way, I'm saying this cuz they're trying
45:34
this same here. And tying every
45:36
smartphone to a person would give the
45:39
government unprecedented power to track
45:42
the movement of criminals,
45:44
political dissidents,
45:46
and ordinary citizens.
45:49
Mhm.
45:50
Thousands in the UK are already arrested
45:53
for political posts every year, said
45:55
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov,
45:58
um who was arrested in France for the
46:00
same thing. Is this really about
46:03
protecting children or identifying more
46:06
people to arrest?
46:08
The [snorts] UK arrests around 30 people
46:11
every day
46:13
or 12,000 per year for offensive online
46:17
posts or messages according to data
46:20
obtained by The Times last April. While
46:23
this figure
46:25
already dwarfs similar counts from
46:27
China, Germany, and Russia combined not
46:30
all British police departments contacted
46:32
by the newspaper agreed to disclose
46:34
their data, meaning that the true figure
46:37
is likely significantly higher.
46:40
Meanwhile, only 11% of violent and
46:43
sexual offenses
46:46
uh cases in England and Wales end with
46:49
the suspect being caught or charged.
46:52
11%. Hundreds of people were arrested in
46:55
2024 for making social media posts in
46:58
support of anti-immigration riots. With
47:00
one man jailed for 3 years for
47:02
retweeting an anti-immigration post.
47:05
Musk, who branded Starmer two-tier Kier
47:08
after he released more than 1,000
47:10
serious criminals early to clear space
47:13
for the speech offenders, declared the
47:15
UK a police state after Starmer
47:18
announced his social media ban.
47:23
Wow. Last week, Ofcom ordered social
47:26
media companies to put a crisis protocol
47:30
in place to stop the spread of content
47:33
inciting racial or religious hatred
47:36
making threats or inciting violence
47:38
during a crisis event. The EU has
47:42
already used similar mechanism, the
47:44
so-called rapid response system, to
47:46
censor legitimate political speech
47:49
deemed misinformation during elections.
47:52
And Ofcom said that its order is a
47:54
direct response to the misinformation
47:56
that fueled the 2024 anti-immigration
48:00
riots.
48:01
With every British social media user
48:04
verified, the content would not just be
48:07
removed, its creator could easily be
48:10
identified, located, and prosecuted on a
48:13
scale beyond the 2024 crackdown.
48:17
Furthermore, inciting racial or
48:20
religious hatred
48:22
is a vague and nebulous term, and facing
48:26
the threat of prosecution and
48:28
imprisonment, many social media users
48:31
will likely choose not to share such
48:34
content in the first place. As a result,
48:37
videos of migrant crime, such as the
48:41
recent attempted beheading in Belfast,
48:44
or other incidents likely to cause
48:46
unrest, including the arrest and death
48:48
of Henry Novak over bogus racism claims
48:52
last year, may never see the light of
48:54
day. And the British government may
48:56
avoid the kind of difficult questions
48:58
that have triggered violent riots riots
49:01
and tanked Starmer's popularity.
49:04
Whether this scenario is an inevitable
49:07
consequence of the ban, or Starmer's
49:10
goal all along, the end result is the
49:13
same. We will Britain will become one of
49:17
the first democracies in the world to
49:19
require ID to access the internet. Big
49:24
Brother Watch director Silkie Carlo said
49:27
Monday, "We have seen the growth of
49:30
surveillance in this country, and are
49:33
sleepwalking toward a total surveillance
49:36
state."
49:39
Same here.
49:41
Right here in America.
49:45
Right freaking here.
49:50
Oh, well. Okay. Well, now we're going to
49:52
go back to
49:54
Keir Starmer just because we like him
49:56
and we'll talk about the old Trumpster
49:59
and his Here's what he said. So,
50:03
Trump piles misery. Here's the name of
50:05
the story.
50:07
The UK Prime Minister failed
50:10
badly, according to Trump,
50:13
on migration and energy.
50:16
This came out this morning, too, at
50:17
about uh
50:19
uh
50:20
an hour and a half ago.
50:21
President Trump has added to the
50:23
pressure on UK Prime Minister Keir
50:25
Starmer, blasting his record on
50:28
migration and energy in a social media
50:31
post before the British leader announced
50:34
his resignation.
50:36
Trump's remarks come amid soaring US-UK
50:40
uh uh um
50:41
>> [clears throat]
50:41
>> relations over the Iran war, while the
50:44
US State Department has accused the UK
50:48
of two-tier policing. And so did uh um
50:52
uh
50:53
Vance.
50:54
In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump
50:57
declared that Starmer would resign and
51:00
said the labor leaders failed badly on
51:03
two important subjects, immigration and
51:06
energy,
51:07
open North Sea oil. I wish him well.
51:11
Commenting on Trump's remarks, British
51:14
broadcaster Piers Morgan said the fact
51:17
that the US president had announced the
51:18
UK leader's resignation before Starmer
51:22
himself had done so was the final
51:25
humiliation. Starmer confirmed on Monday
51:28
that he will indeed stand down as Prime
51:31
Minister
51:32
and labor leader, but said he will
51:34
remain in the post until the party
51:37
leadership contest is complete.
51:41
Pressure on Starmer has built since
51:43
labor lost nearly 1,500 council seats in
51:48
local elections in May with 80
51:51
Labour MPs calling for him to go. The
51:55
crisis deepened after Greater Manchester
51:58
Mayor Andy Burnham, who was not yet
52:01
sworn in as a member of Parliament, won
52:03
a decisive by-election victory in
52:07
Makerfield last Thursday, taking nearly
52:10
55% of the vote and emerging as the
52:13
chief contender to replace Starmer. So,
52:17
this
52:18
Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, got to
52:21
keep our eye on him.
52:23
Uh
52:25
the Starmer government has also been
52:27
beset by numerous scandals, including
52:30
the appointment of Peter Mandelson as UK
52:33
ambassador to the US despite his ties
52:36
with convicted sex offender Jeffrey
52:39
Epstein. It was also
52:42
plagued by the re-emergence of a
52:45
grooming gang cover-up accusations.
52:49
Last month, the US State Department
52:52
accused Britain of two-tier policing
52:54
after body cam footage showed officers
52:57
handcuffing 18-year-old Polish-British
53:00
University
53:02
student Henry Novak as he died while his
53:06
killer, a 23-year-old Sikh, claimed to
53:10
be the victim of a racist attack. Have
53:12
you guys seen that video?
53:16
It is
53:17
very troubling. Don't go thinking you're
53:20
free in England. Those days are gone.
53:25
Trump and Starmer's relationship was
53:27
also frayed over the US-Israeli strikes
53:30
on Iran
53:31
with the UK Prime Minister initially
53:34
blocking use of the Diego Garcia base on
53:38
the Chagos Islands to attack Iran.
53:42
At one point, Trump said that Starmer is
53:46
no Winston Churchill.
53:48
>> [laughter]
53:49
>> Yeah, that's everybody believes that's
53:51
the old Green Goblin. That's uh
53:54
Z-Man.
53:56
Crazy sauce.
54:02
Meanwhile,
54:03
US and Iran talks are going absolutely
54:07
nowhere. Neither side is budging on its
54:10
demands, and Israel is a structural
54:12
threat to any peace, anyway.
54:17
J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared
54:19
Kushner.
54:21
I don't understand this this team.
54:24
Um on one side,
54:27
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi
54:30
on the other, and Qatar and Pakistan in
54:32
the middle as essential intermediary. By
54:35
the way, did you hear about um
54:37
what happened in Qatar?
54:39
Blew up
54:40
Where is this?
54:44
Where where where?
54:46
Yeah, there's missing and injured, and
54:48
it's not good.
54:50
Here. Dozens injured or missing after an
54:53
explosion rocks the Qatari gas hub. So,
54:56
up north up north
54:58
of Doha, on the edges of Doha, there's a
55:02
place called Ras Laffan, and it's an
55:04
industrial city. It's freaking huge.
55:06
It's a wow.
55:07
And uh
55:09
a massive explosion and fire hit Qatar's
55:13
Ras Laffan industrial city on Sunday
55:15
evening,
55:17
and authorities attribute the incident
55:18
to a technical malfunction during
55:21
operations at a local gas facility. They
55:24
were not an attack is what they're
55:26
saying.
55:27
Qatar's Interior Ministry said the
55:30
initial explosion
55:33
occurred at a factory in Ras Laffan due
55:35
to a technical incident, adding that
55:37
civil defense teams were responding.
55:39
There was no threat to public safety.
55:42
At least 54 people were injured
55:46
in the blast and 18 are considered still
55:50
missing, the ministry said in a later
55:53
update. Added, "This was an enormous
55:55
explosion.
55:57
Uh you could see it. Somebody happened
55:58
to be filming up in their uh
56:01
place um
56:02
uh
56:03
You can find it in the alternative media
56:06
and it is quite the blaze.
56:09
Um Qatar Energy said the blast occurred
56:12
during the startup of the Barzan local
56:14
gas supply facility in the evening hours
56:17
of June 21. Emergency teams were
56:19
deployed and the resulting fire has been
56:22
brought under control.
56:25
Videos circulating online show a large
56:28
fireball lighting up the sky. It's a big
56:31
ass fireball followed by a towering
56:34
plume of the smoke from the direction of
56:36
the industrial zone. Ras Laffan is
56:38
located in north of Doha,
56:41
one of the world's most important gas
56:43
processing hubs and is central to
56:45
Qatar's liquefied natural gas industry.
56:49
Complex was among the US-linked
56:51
facilities that Iran hit earlier in the
56:54
war in retaliation for the Israeli
56:57
strike on its own South Pars gas fields.
57:01
The incident comes as US and Iranian
57:03
officials hold follow-up talks in
57:05
Switzerland
57:07
uh
57:08
on the memorandum of understanding
57:11
aimed at ending the conflict and
57:12
reopening the Strait of Hormuz with
57:15
Qatar and Pakistan acting as mediators.
57:17
The deal has been fiercely opposed by
57:19
Israel, which continues its military
57:22
operations in Lebanon despite the
57:24
agreement's call for an end to
57:26
hostilities
57:27
on all fronts.
57:31
Uh
57:32
Qatar's played a key mediation role
57:34
throughout the process uh with Pakistan
57:38
and Swiss talks are focused on
57:40
implementation of the US Iran
57:42
memorandum, including maritime security,
57:45
sanction relief, Iran's nuclear program,
57:48
and the future administration of the
57:50
Strait of Hormuz.
57:53
Uh
57:54
let's see.
57:55
>> [snorts]
57:57
>> Meanwhile, the talks are going nowhere.
58:01
Mhm.
58:04
Vance, Witkoff, Kushner
58:07
Qatar, Pakistan
58:10
Abbas Aragchi
58:12
They're all essential um
58:15
you know, to the process.
58:17
But the two sides can't hold a technical
58:21
conversation. Just that tells you
58:24
something pretty important about the
58:26
state of trust between Washington and
58:29
Tehran. They need Qatar and Pakistan to
58:32
be there.
58:33
The atmosphere has been tense from the
58:35
start. The Iranian delegation went out
58:37
of its way to avoid being seen publicly
58:40
alongside the Americans. Disputes over
58:43
protocol drag on.
58:45
Trump's characteristically combative
58:47
statements issued in parallel with the
58:50
talks did little to steady the room, and
58:53
yet the meeting held.
58:55
The process, as mediators announced
58:57
afterward, was kept alive.
59:00
But kept alive for what?
59:02
The memorandum signed on June 17th is
59:05
not a peace treaty or even a framework
59:07
agreement in any meaningful sense.
59:10
It's a temporary, non-binding statement
59:13
of intent whose primary function is not
59:16
to end the conflict, but to postpone its
59:19
next phase.
59:20
Every substantive issue, Iran's nuclear
59:23
program, sanction, freedom of navigation
59:27
through the Straits of Hormuz, the
59:28
situation in Lebanon, mechanisms to
59:31
prevent further military dick
59:33
escalation have all been pushed to a
59:35
60-day
59:37
negotiating track.
59:39
Washington has been trying to sell this
59:41
as a win, and on the surface, the
59:44
framing has some logic to it.
59:47
Now, I disagree with it. I I I frankly
59:50
happen to agree with the point of view
59:52
of you stop hostilities when you end the
59:55
war, just like Putin and company are
59:58
demanding between Russia and Ukraine.
1:00:02
We don't want a ceasefire. We want the
1:00:03
whole thing freaking over. Agree and
1:00:05
move on.
1:00:07
Figure it out.
1:00:08
Do something.
1:00:10
So, I I don't I don't agree with this.
1:00:18
All righty. Are you there, caller?
1:00:22
>> Yeah.
1:00:23
>> Okay.
1:00:23
>> Are you there?
1:00:25
Okay.
1:00:28
I want to talk about the media bias.
1:00:30
Uh
1:00:31
I I think politics are skewed. It always
1:00:33
seems to be 50/50, and uh
1:00:37
when Trump does some clown [ __ ] and uh
1:00:40
the media doesn't harp on it like like
1:00:42
they did on Biden. Now, Biden was old
1:00:45
and messed up, too.
1:00:47
And Democrats aren't much better than
1:00:49
the Republicans except they
1:00:51
they seem to throw the poor people a
1:00:52
bone every once in a while. And that's
1:00:54
that's the only difference.
1:00:55
And uh the media just glosses over
1:00:59
the babbling [ __ ] that Trump does. It's
1:01:01
insane.
1:01:03
>> Yeah, but
1:01:04
they they beat the hell out of him far
1:01:06
more than uh
1:01:08
they ever did on Democrats. Um unless
1:01:11
you're looking at at at news from I
1:01:14
don't know, Fox News or something. They
1:01:16
they beat up um and plenty of people
1:01:19
after he finally,
1:01:22
um,
1:01:24
uh, what after after the the emperor was
1:01:28
discovered to be naked during that
1:01:30
debate with Trump where he just, uh, he
1:01:32
was in a complete [ __ ] After that,
1:01:36
they went after him, but before that
1:01:37
everybody protected him. I mean, we all
1:01:39
watched it. And, uh, you know, now they
1:01:43
they do beat up a little bit on
1:01:45
>> why? The same reason they're they're
1:01:46
protecting Trump now. You You don't
1:01:48
think Trump has dementia? Do you see him
1:01:50
fall asleep?
1:01:52
Do you think that's a good look for the
1:01:53
president to close his eyes and and and
1:01:55
lay his head down while
1:01:57
uh, while he's in the middle of a press
1:01:59
conference?
1:02:00
>> [laughter]
1:02:01
>> No, I don't.
1:02:03
>> I I do not. No.
1:02:04
>> not?
1:02:05
>> Uh-uh.
1:02:06
And and I don't like it. And and, uh,
1:02:08
they they had to wake up old, uh, old,
1:02:12
uh,
1:02:12
Biden a couple times, and I understand
1:02:14
it's it's, uh, a continuing problem with
1:02:17
with the old Trumpster, too.
1:02:19
And, uh, he's but what is Is he 80 now?
1:02:22
How old is that guy?
1:02:25
Didn't he just turn 80?
1:02:26
>> the big difference between Biden and
1:02:27
Trump was uh, Biden had experts and
1:02:31
let let the military experts, uh,
1:02:33
>> Biden didn't have any more experts than
1:02:36
Trump. They're all idiots. They are not
1:02:39
experts. They are politicians.
1:02:41
That's it. And you appoint people that
1:02:44
will lick your ass. That's what you will
1:02:47
do. And they all do it.
1:02:49
>> The The military the
1:02:51
all those all those generals the chief
1:02:53
of
1:02:54
uh,
1:02:55
what they they they hired they fired the
1:02:58
the highest ranking officials in the
1:03:00
military.
1:03:00
>> I know.
1:03:01
>> Anything Anything to do with nuclear
1:03:03
science or or or military or any anybody
1:03:07
that that puts anybody in the opposition
1:03:09
to Trump gets fired. And, uh, the
1:03:12
He He just runs his policy by gut and
1:03:15
and he's a 80-year-old demented man and
1:03:17
the
1:03:19
he he bumbles left and right and and the
1:03:22
media just glosses it over.
1:03:25
>> Well, I think what he has done I I think
1:03:27
he has
1:03:28
>> It's going to be 50%
1:03:31
no matter what if if Trump was to do
1:03:34
something terrible they
1:03:35
they would they would just campaign on
1:03:37
on the on the blue team.
1:03:39
>> Exactly.
1:03:41
Well, we we believe we believe
1:03:43
identically on that. I believe in it's
1:03:45
one unit party.
1:03:47
It doesn't matter who's in charge which
1:03:50
party. All you've done is change the the
1:03:53
color of the gown you're wearing to the
1:03:55
wedding. That's it. It's a different
1:03:58
different uh
1:04:00
caterer. You know what I mean? It's a
1:04:02
whoever's buddies you bring in and and
1:04:05
you were talking about experts first and
1:04:08
you can buy an
1:04:09
anybody can buy an expert. If you ever
1:04:11
practice law, you can find an expert to
1:04:13
say anything you need an expert to say.
1:04:16
You just got to you know find the right
1:04:18
one. And
1:04:19
and you find him, you pay him, you
1:04:22
he's a person paid for his opinion.
1:04:24
Don't think it's any different in
1:04:26
government service. They only keep the
1:04:28
people who
1:04:29
tow the line.
1:04:31
And the line is determined not by the
1:04:33
expert, the line is determined by the
1:04:35
politician. And it's especially true in
1:04:38
nuclear weapons. When I when I served
1:04:42
myself in the nuclear weapon part
1:04:45
uh we were doing something very
1:04:47
positive, but people didn't like that.
1:04:49
Peo- people wanted certainly the
1:04:53
um
1:04:54
military industrial
1:04:57
powers didn't like it. They they they
1:04:59
make more money by rearming and that's
1:05:02
exactly what we're doing right now. And
1:05:04
everything that we did in the '90s to
1:05:06
make the world a safer place is now in
1:05:09
reverse.
1:05:10
And we're make and and worldwide we're
1:05:13
making And And the $1.5 trillion budget
1:05:17
that went up by 67%
1:05:20
at a minimum in 1 year,
1:05:23
should If that doesn't clarify that it's
1:05:25
all about the money and all about the
1:05:27
propaganda and all about the uni-party,
1:05:29
>> did what get?
1:05:31
>> How much airtime did what get?
1:05:33
The 67% increase?
1:05:37
>> Yeah.
1:05:38
>> Not enough because it happened anyway.
1:05:41
>> Yeah.
1:05:42
Well, did I don't think it's happened,
1:05:44
but uh he he wants to he he he
1:05:46
>> They're already spending it. It doesn't
1:05:49
matter. They're already spending it.
1:05:52
The The budget doesn't matter. None of
1:05:54
that stuff matters.
1:05:55
>> me to talk over you for a minute?
1:05:56
>> Well, okay, go ahead.
1:05:59
>> Uh
1:06:00
what
1:06:02
Did
1:06:05
Did you Did you hear Trump say that they
1:06:07
didn't have money for healthcare and and
1:06:09
and they didn't uh
1:06:10
uh childcare? That that That should be a
1:06:12
a state thing.
1:06:15
>> I I actually hadn't heard that.
1:06:18
>> Yeah, he he
1:06:20
yeah.
1:06:21
He He said that uh
1:06:22
uh healthcare and and childcare are are
1:06:26
too big for for federal government. The
1:06:28
The federal government needs to I'm
1:06:30
paraphrasing, but concentrate on war.
1:06:34
And uh
1:06:35
uh
1:06:36
The media just glosses all that stuff
1:06:38
over. He He He just gets a pass every He
1:06:41
He's a He's a damn fool. You can There's
1:06:44
Jeff tapes for hours on him and uh
1:06:46
>> Yeah Yeah, but they they all have them.
1:06:48
They're They're all morons. And And And
1:06:51
uh uh supporting one over the other is
1:06:54
is
1:06:55
You're taking
1:06:56
>> Trump is a special [ __ ]
1:06:58
>> Uh [laughter] well, everybody's free to
1:06:59
have their own opinion. I I think that
1:07:02
they're all of the same
1:07:05
cloth. They're They're They're clothes
1:07:07
cut out of the same cloth.
1:07:09
>> Did Did you hear him say uh Sharia from
1:07:11
Syria should
1:07:13
uh
1:07:13
fight Hezbollah?
1:07:14
>> Yeah, I heard that, too.
1:07:17
I know.
1:07:18
Yeah, I I heard that. I I disagree.
1:07:21
Uh I I don't think I've heard I have
1:07:24
have not heard his reply yet. No.
1:07:28
>> He said it ain't us. He said that's a
1:07:30
you problem.
1:07:32
>> Well, that that the the whole
1:07:34
>> know he was a leader of ISIS.
1:07:35
>> Yeah, yeah, I know. I know.
1:07:37
I know. They're the we're
1:07:38
>> And then President Trump called him
1:07:41
and said what a great man he is and
1:07:43
>> I know. I know. I heard all that.
1:07:45
And uh in in in in politics
1:07:49
Well, money money money.
1:07:51
It's all about the money. I I do not
1:07:54
agree with what's going on in these uh
1:07:57
um
1:07:59
negotiations. I don't believe this
1:08:01
60-day pause is going to change anything
1:08:04
dramatic. I don't believe Uh and I and I
1:08:07
never have. Um I don't believe the unit
1:08:09
party is gone. I don't believe it it
1:08:11
ever will be. Not in America. We we uh
1:08:15
you know, I sit here and I'm I've been
1:08:16
telling y'all about uh Keir Starmer and
1:08:19
they're the at least there they have to
1:08:21
come up with some kind of a uh
1:08:23
>> And Trump worded that [ __ ] out. He he
1:08:25
wasn't That that wasn't for everyone.
1:08:28
That wasn't for Trump to announce.
1:08:31
>> Well, that's true. And and and
1:08:33
>> He does what he wants.
1:08:35
>> Uh well, and he and he always does what
1:08:37
he wants and everybody knows that. So,
1:08:39
and this is really terrible because
1:08:42
I Well, I believe that people don't take
1:08:45
him as seriously as they ought to
1:08:47
because of stuff like that.
1:08:49
>> Posting that posting alliances is is a
1:08:51
not a good thing.
1:08:54
>> If you think Britain is our is is is
1:08:56
still remains our steadfast ally, I I'd
1:09:00
question that as well.
1:09:03
>> Well, they were supposed to be
1:09:04
>> Well, I know. They're supposed to be. So
1:09:06
is everybody else.
1:09:08
>> Hey hey
1:09:12
this is more of cultural
1:09:16
how many people do you think paid
1:09:17
attention to politics before Trump came
1:09:20
and started parading that
1:09:21
the world's broken and the world's on
1:09:23
fire and he's the only one that can fix
1:09:25
it. Most most of these dummies didn't
1:09:27
have any any
1:09:29
any idea clue what was going on in
1:09:31
politics before he come on and said he's
1:09:34
the only one that could save the world.
1:09:36
>> Yeah, I know and it's the same thing
1:09:37
going on in England right now. I played
1:09:39
that piece from Farage earlier and
1:09:42
Farage is following the same playbook
1:09:45
and and he's he's doing it quite well by
1:09:48
the way and and I believe he's
1:09:51
he's going to
1:09:54
He's a force to be reckoned with let's
1:09:56
put it that way because he uh
1:09:59
he he
1:10:00
>> catering to unintelligent people.
1:10:01
>> Well, I don't know about that. It's
1:10:04
he's telling people what they wish to
1:10:06
hear and I'm for for I'll tell you this
1:10:10
I'm not
1:10:11
anti-immigration
1:10:13
but I'm anti-
1:10:16
unchecked immigration without any sort
1:10:20
of verification you know without I mean
1:10:23
you can't just open the freaking borders
1:10:25
and allow people to wander in like
1:10:27
England's doing right now.
1:10:30
>> Is that the problem in America?
1:10:33
>> It has been since I was a kid. It has
1:10:35
been since since since back then it was
1:10:38
everybody open the borders and all the
1:10:40
it was all the Mexicans are running over
1:10:42
but you know how we fixed that? We made
1:10:44
their economy better than ours. Where
1:10:46
are all our auto plants just across the
1:10:49
border in in Mexico. Hell, they're
1:10:51
making great money. You want to make
1:10:52
good money? Go work at an auto plant in
1:10:55
uh
1:10:57
It's where they all are.
1:10:58
>> They're not going to make the money.
1:10:59
That's why they're there for cheap
1:11:00
labor.
1:11:01
>> What? You still But as a as a if if you
1:11:04
speak Spanish and you go over there and
1:11:06
you understand English and Spanish, you
1:11:09
can go over there and make just what you
1:11:11
would make here. Why do you think all
1:11:13
the managers are over there doing it?
1:11:15
You think the managers are are are uh
1:11:18
uh native Mexicans?
1:11:21
Not so.
1:11:23
Where do you think they send all their
1:11:24
experts from? Where do you think you get
1:11:26
them?
1:11:28
Where Where do you think you hire these
1:11:30
people from? The people that have the
1:11:31
bigger jobs are not just you you know,
1:11:34
that are working the line. That might be
1:11:36
your your Mexicans. That's where the
1:11:38
money comes from, but the big money
1:11:39
still gets paid out to the management
1:11:41
staff. And And that's the same.
1:11:43
>> How big How big of a problem is
1:11:45
To me, the problem is
1:11:47
I can't afford beef, that I don't have
1:11:49
health care, and gas is too high. It I I
1:11:52
don't blame Mexicans for that.
1:11:54
>> I don't either.
1:11:56
I don't blame Mexicans for that.
1:11:58
>> not
1:12:00
>> I'm not But So you think open borders is
1:12:02
it? You think open borders is the way it
1:12:04
ought to be? Everybody ought to have an
1:12:06
open border.
1:12:07
>> Well, why does everything have to be
1:12:08
black or white with you people?
1:12:10
>> I didn't What What is you people? I'm
1:12:12
asking you a question.
1:12:15
>> The The you people is conservatives. If
1:12:17
you're a You're a conservative Trump
1:12:18
supporter, aren't you?
1:12:20
>> What I've been bashing Trump the whole
1:12:23
time we've been talking. I'm not
1:12:26
anti-Trump, but I sure as hell ain't for
1:12:28
him. I'm a middle-of-the-roader.
1:12:30
>> but I ain't for him.
1:12:32
Why take a stance?
1:12:34
>> Well, I
1:12:35
I've I've said this repeatedly to And I
1:12:38
think I've even told you. Trump in
1:12:40
general in America, I'm okay with. As
1:12:42
soon as he steps outside the border, I
1:12:44
think I I am a very negative on
1:12:47
everything that has happened so far.
1:12:51
I I don't I don't know what else to tell
1:12:53
you. Internationally, I think he's a
1:12:54
freaking mess.
1:12:56
Domestically, well, they all suck and
1:12:58
I'm willing to live with them.
1:13:01
And what what's your option? Put in put
1:13:03
in a completely complete
1:13:08
lack of intelligence like what were our
1:13:10
choices the last few times? We get these
1:13:12
two choices and they always suck.
1:13:16
>> One one choice is to not act like it's
1:13:18
okay for for Trump to
1:13:21
run over Congress and uh
1:13:24
uh tear up the White House and he said
1:13:26
>> that's all okay? I don't I don't take a
1:13:28
position on that. I don't give a crap.
1:13:30
Do whatever you want with that. I don't
1:13:33
care.
1:13:33
>> take a position on anything I'm talking
1:13:35
about seems.
1:13:36
>> What do you want me to take a position
1:13:38
on whether or not there ought to be a
1:13:39
ballroom? I don't give a [ __ ] if there's
1:13:41
a ballroom and if they want to spend
1:13:43
money and they want to fight about it,
1:13:45
you know what they're doing? They're
1:13:46
distracting people away from it. You act
1:13:49
like Congress gets to be in charge of
1:13:50
that. They're just as big a joke as he
1:13:52
is.
1:13:55
>> Well, yeah, that's a problem.
1:13:56
>> No no no doubt.
1:13:58
>> Immigration and trans women in sports is
1:14:01
not a problem.
1:14:02
>> Well, that's
1:14:03
>> Not a big enough problem to to worry
1:14:05
about.
1:14:06
We should put out the fires and and then
1:14:08
paint the place, you know what I'm
1:14:09
saying?
1:14:11
>> Well, possibly, but
1:14:13
we'll agree to disagree on that one
1:14:15
because I I am completely against
1:14:18
taking women and turning them into
1:14:21
something they're not.
1:14:24
>> What does that have to do with federal
1:14:25
government?
1:14:27
>> What does anything have to do with the
1:14:28
federal government?
1:14:31
>> That that is a conservative talking
1:14:34
point issues. You You You hire people
1:14:37
based on
1:14:39
their their take on abortion, trans
1:14:41
>> I don't I don't.
1:14:45
>> When I say you,
1:14:47
You work at that station, you're a
1:14:49
conservative Trump supporter.
1:14:52
In general, I'm not saying that
1:14:53
>> me of stuff and and you know, I I I'm
1:14:57
I'm not a conservative Trump supporter.
1:15:01
>> I I
1:15:02
What When you first said
1:15:02
>> I pick I pick the lesser of two evils.
1:15:06
That is all you can do in America is
1:15:09
pick the lesser of two evils. You think
1:15:12
I believe the crap that he spouts off or
1:15:15
that any Republican has spouted off in
1:15:17
years? Forget it. You think I believe
1:15:19
the Democrats? I don't believe them any
1:15:22
more or less. I'm far less likely to
1:15:26
believe them because conservative
1:15:29
financial principles are where I have
1:15:32
been my entire life. As far as who wants
1:15:35
to play play dress-up and be a woman, I
1:15:39
don't care. If somebody wishes to be
1:15:42
gay, I give a rip. Just don't parade it
1:15:45
in front of my 5-year-old as the
1:15:47
preferred method and teach them that
1:15:50
it's okay. Those are my basic views.
1:15:53
Abortion, not my choice, but I'm very
1:15:56
much anti. I'm not a woman. I don't get
1:15:59
to make that choice. That means I mean,
1:16:02
how do you get to pick? They've been
1:16:03
making people fight over [ __ ] our entire
1:16:06
lives. We've been had to pick. You can't
1:16:09
pick plus or minus on abortion because
1:16:11
both sides suck.
1:16:16
And depend on the circumstances in which
1:16:19
the person has to make the choice. In a
1:16:21
perfect world, if I got a girl pregnant,
1:16:24
I would hope that she would honor me
1:16:26
enough cuz I slept with her, for God's
1:16:28
sake. She had to have liked me a bit to
1:16:31
at least take my opinion into into point
1:16:34
of view. But could I dictate it to her?
1:16:36
No. And what does the law say at the
1:16:38
time? And by the way, laws change. 150
1:16:41
years ago, I just I just been doing my
1:16:43
CLE for uh uh
1:16:45
uh real estate, and I'm doing a review
1:16:48
of all the uh
1:16:49
uh Jim Crow laws, uh
1:16:52
the the the the girl in the uh Rosa
1:16:55
Parks in the bus, and all these
1:16:57
schooling things, and it takes a long
1:17:00
freaking time for change to occur. When
1:17:04
did when did the law change with regard
1:17:06
to fair housing? And then in the '60s a
1:17:10
1960s. When was um
1:17:13
slavery abolished? 100 years prior.
1:17:17
How long did it take to get any
1:17:19
meaningful change? 100 freaking years.
1:17:22
The wheels go extremely slowly, and they
1:17:25
don't go by And And And the unfortunate
1:17:28
part of all this is that every 4 years
1:17:32
we take these massive changes and change
1:17:34
the entire country's direction and go
1:17:37
180° the opposite direction of what we
1:17:40
just were with uh with idiocy
1:17:43
of executive orders. And I really
1:17:45
apologize, but I got about 2 minutes
1:17:47
left. So,
1:17:48
uh respond.
1:17:52
>> Well, thanks for taking my call.
1:17:54
Hey, call me in your off time sometime.
1:17:56
I want to ask you about drawing up a
1:17:58
lease contract.
1:17:59
>> Okay, I'd be I'd be interested in doing
1:18:02
that. You have a very nice day.
1:18:05
>> Thanks.
1:18:07
>> And there he goes. Well, I never
1:18:09
finished the uh
1:18:10
the
1:18:11
track on the Iran. The talks are not
1:18:14
going well. Memorandum of failure is
1:18:17
what it is and what it will be. On the
1:18:20
nuclear question, Iran has agreed to
1:18:23
suspend certain enrichment activities
1:18:25
during the 60-day window, but there are
1:18:27
no permanent constraints established.
1:18:30
The underlying infrastructure remains
1:18:32
intact. On sanctions, the The is also
1:18:36
very thin. The memorandum gestures
1:18:38
toward future relief, but no sanctions
1:18:41
have been lifted.
1:18:43
Frozen Iranian assets haven't been
1:18:45
returned.
1:18:47
The architecture of economic pressure
1:18:49
that Washington has gotten used to and
1:18:52
spent years putting in place means that
1:18:54
Tehran has a concrete concession without
1:18:57
receiving anything concrete in return.
1:19:00
Cuz they're getting them to take it out.
1:19:02
Strait of Hormuz provisions are probably
1:19:05
the most fragile of all. The memorandum
1:19:07
calls for safe passage, mutual
1:19:09
restraint, but there are no enforcement
1:19:12
mechanisms. There's no monitoring body,
1:19:14
no agreed response protocol, no clarity
1:19:17
on what is a violation. A single
1:19:19
incident involving tanker harassment or
1:19:22
confrontation between naval vessels will
1:19:25
render that render this section
1:19:27
meaningless before the 60 days are even
1:19:30
half over.
1:19:32
All that being said, it's not looking
1:19:34
good that the Iran war is doing anything
1:19:37
more than being put on a brief pause
1:19:40
while they started back up. And I hope
1:19:42
the Qatari thing really was an
1:19:44
industrial accident and not a bombing
1:19:47
effort.
1:19:49

1:19:51
have a very good week. Join me again
