  Hassan Piker has been subpoenaed by the United States government,
• 0:03
  and he is feeling it. He is certainly feeling it.
• 0:06
  A political streamer and commentator Hassan Piker has been subpoenaed by the U.S.
• 0:10
  Treasury Department as part of a federal investigation into whether U.S.
• 0:14
  Activists violated sanctions and laws during a March 2026 trip to Cuba.
• 0:19
  The investigation and resulting subpoenas cover multiple angles.
• 0:23
  The Cuba trip federal authorities are investigating whether participants illegally
• 0:28
  coordinated logistics spent money on restricted transactions or stayed at hotels on the U.S.
• 0:35
  State Department's restricted list while providing aid to Cuba.
• 0:38
  So he's already kind of shifted it. And he said, no, Nick Shirley did the same
• 0:43
  thing that I did. I haven't.
• 0:44
  All right, we're going to get all of this. But you can see we're going to actually
• 0:47
  the clip that I've seen about Hassan.
• 0:49
  He is visibly shaken, which I mean, anybody would be Hassan.
• 0:54
  Piker acknowledges he may be in serious trouble now that the U.S.
• 0:57
  Government is investigating his ties to foreign governments.
• 0:59
  This is becoming common for a lot of political streamers and podcasters.
• 1:06
  And I'm not going to lie to you guys.
• 1:08
  It's it's not great the news is not
• 1:11
  great okay i mean it's bullshit but
• 1:15
  still not great that you know they're they're
• 1:18
  after your boy they're up my ass and i'll obviously get into it right now i'll
• 1:23
  tell you all about it but let me blast off real quick we will free you brother
• 1:27
  yeah free me free me free me i think that's how anybody would naturally feel
• 1:32
  if the u.s government if you get a call from the government,
• 1:36
  or you get a letter in the mail, you are under investigation.
• 1:39
  I don't know. Anybody is going to feel like that. And I think that it's going to it's for him.
• 1:45
  It's it's I think a long time coming that people have felt like the things that he said.
• 1:49
  But this is in regard to specific ties to a foreign adversary with Cuba.
• 1:53
  And I think a lot of political streamers, a lot of influencers out there are getting.
• 1:59
  It seems like they're getting in the mush in the in the mud with all these foreign
• 2:03
  governments that we have.
• 2:05
  You know, we're not in lockstep or line with as the U.S.
• 2:09
  Government. So this is like, you almost got to put this on. This is like next
• 2:13
  level as it's a serious situation.
• 2:15
  If you're going to be for America, you're going to speak freedom of speech.
• 2:18
  You care about American values.
• 2:20
  This is where I think almost has to be drawing the line.
• 2:24
  If we're if we're keeping everything in house and we can like,
• 2:27
  you know, throw mud at each other inside here and say all, you know.
• 2:31
  Nasty stuff, which is under, you know, under the banner of freedom of speech.
• 2:34
  It's like when you cross that line, you start wanting to help foreign adversaries
• 2:38
  subvert the U.S. government.
• 2:40
  That's where it kind of for me, it draws like it's like you're going too far.
• 2:45
  And I think that is the seriousness that a lot of people that I don't even want
• 2:48
  to really say in this same vein, but they're out there that seem like they're
• 2:52
  having ties with the Iranian government, with Middle Eastern countries, with Russia.
• 2:58
  That's why it was such a serious allegation with Russia, with Donald Trump,
• 3:02
  saying like for all those like that whole like first term that he had,
• 3:05
  he was under investigation of he was colluding with Russia.
• 3:08
  He worked with Putin to put him in office and it came to nothing.
• 3:12
  And it's like but then people don't they don't
• 3:15
  remember really they the correction of of
• 3:19
  what actually what what actually went down it's the allegation the false allegation
• 3:23
  that's going on this is there's nothing been he's not being accused of anything
• 3:28
  as far as i can tell he hasn't like so it's like this could come to nothing
• 3:31
  and i i honestly and to be honest i i don't want I don't want anyone,
• 3:37
  even if it's Hassan Piker and he says evil things at times. And I disagree like strongly.
• 3:43
  I don't like necessarily want him to go to prison.
• 3:45
  I know Nick Fuentes was calling for him. He said like, because he said that
• 3:49
  Hassan Piker set the precedent that you want like people that speak up against
• 3:53
  anti against Jewish people or that are anti-Jewish that he didn't come to their side. Yeah.
• 3:58
  I don't care. I think we need to be above that. No matter if you want eye for
• 4:04
  an eye, you want to like repay someone.
• 4:06
  I'm not like that. And I think a lot of our government, which is a wonderful
• 4:10
  thing, it can kind of scare you and it keeps you in check.
• 4:14
  I think that's why they do the whole tax system like this. We were going to keep you honest.
• 4:18
  You just, what do you owe us? Pay us what you owe us.
• 4:20
  Even though we know, pay us what you owe us. We'll see if you're telling the truth.
• 4:24
  It's like our government, they do it out of fear.
• 4:29
  They want to keep in fear in check because they can bring the hammer down.
• 4:32
  But I see a lot of times they don't bring the hammer down.
• 4:35
  There's so many people that are out there. Then it's like, well,
• 4:38
  then we're just living in this injustice, government system.
• 4:42
  And I get that point as well.
• 4:45
  God has given people, humanity in general.
• 4:49
  One of the laws that he gave the people was set up government,
• 4:52
  set up forms of justice institutions that you can carry out justice to if someone murders someone,
• 4:58
  they're supposed to be put to death if someone you know that's why there's all
• 5:02
  these laws like that's like the one that is spelled out for all humanity it
• 5:06
  is someone murders if you allow a murderer to go on and continue living you
• 5:10
  know that's like letting like the that's like not,
• 5:14
  atoning for the blood that has been spilled on the land and so i i think that
• 5:18
  that's why we're to pray for our leaders and authority that they carry out justice and do what's right.
• 5:25
  So I do think the U.S. government, we have the best system.
• 5:28
  Definitely the best system on Earth. I mean, if you really want to compare to
• 5:32
  us to other countries, there is no comparison.
• 5:35
  I would much rather sit in a court of law in the U.S. than anywhere else.
• 5:39
  I feel you're going to get a much fairer shake than anywhere else.
• 5:43
  So I don't see this going anywhere with Hassan.
• 5:45
  I think it's that fear technique. They're scaring him.
• 5:49
  We have the power. But it's like, I think the lunatics on the left,
• 5:53
  if like Hassan Piker was on the other side and he could carry out justice or
• 5:57
  what he considers justice, it would not be like this.
• 6:02
  It would not be any angle of mercy or just inciting a slap on the wrist, inciting fear.
• 6:08
  It would like, he would be casting people into prison. Like, that's how I feel.
• 6:13
  So it's like, I don't know. Now, I don't know a lot of times expect that because
• 6:17
  eventually they're going to be back in power.
• 6:20
  I just think that it's the beautiful thing that our government, the way the U.S.
• 6:24
  System is set up, that it keeps checks and balances. It doesn't allow people...
• 6:31
  No matter how much somebody might want to be a dictator and be like a king and
• 6:35
  rule and just like an iron fist, it's really not going to happen in the United States.
• 6:39
  Even though I'm honestly, I, at times I'm like, Donald Trump,
• 6:42
  go man, just exert full authority. You know, that's how I feel.
• 6:46
  I know I sometimes probably have to check that because I want something to happen.
• 6:51
  It was like, but the way the beauty that our founders did in putting everything
• 6:55
  together, like it almost keeps us from destroying ourselves at times.
• 6:58
  And I, that's why it's, that's why it's so despicable when people
• 7:02
  want to help the enemy or whoever we consider
• 7:04
  an enemy at this time of the u.s government if we can
• 7:07
  keep everything in house and we're like throw whatever you know like say whatever
• 7:12
  you want about everybody but if we're on the same team imagine like imagine
• 7:15
  that americans were all on the same team so i i honestly i don't want it like
• 7:20
  i hope he just gets a slap on the wrist i hope this is just a a fear technique
• 7:23
  and he you know he learns whatever and maybe he comes to the side of,
• 7:27
  I love, you know, red, white, and blue, and he's gung-ho America.
• 7:31
  He doesn't want to help any other communist regime or dictatorships that are
• 7:37
  out there, like Cuba or whatever, you know?
• 7:40
  So I, I, I, I almost, I honestly wish, I'm not like, I'm not like the crazies.
• 7:45
  I don't necessarily want him to go to prison forever.
• 7:47
  You know, if there, if, if something that he did, if it comes out that he actually
• 7:51
  did something really just like really terrible and treasonous.
• 7:56
  Yeah. You got to bring the hammer down, but like, well, we shall see.
• 7:59
  We'll find out. I just don't see that actually happening.
• 8:02
  All right. We'll leave it at that. Let me know what you think regarding this
• 8:04
  Hassan situation and have a good Wednesday. See y'all.
