Transcript
- 0:00Hello, good evening. Welcome. I am
- 0:03Samuel Trap. This is International
- 0:06Flavor. You are listening to DAM Radio.
- 0:10Right now, it is 900 p.m.
- 0:15on the where are we? The 19th of March.
- 0:18I did a show this morning and I had to
- 0:21cut it loose. I drove all night and I
- 0:23probably shouldn't have risked it, but I
- 0:25I chose to do it. and uh I've decided
- 0:28not to upload it into the uh atmosphere.
- 0:32I think I'm going to do a I'm going to
- 0:33do a whole new show on it and I but I
- 0:36didn't want to miss it. Last show of the
- 0:37weekend. A lot of lot of big topics talk
- 0:39about and I've now had a bit of sleep.
- 0:42I'm not even going to go back and listen
- 0:43to it. Um, what I started with this
- 0:45morning uh that I'm going to repeat some
- 0:48of today and hopefully be a little more
- 0:50coherent
- 0:52for the recorded version is uh not that
- 0:56I wasn't, but uh I I think I was too
- 0:58tired and my thoughts weren't uh uh as
- 1:00uh put together as I would have liked
- 1:02them to be. Um, but I drove all night
- 1:05and I I I drove uh I was, you know,
- 1:07checking out gas prices nationwide is
- 1:10what I was doing, at least in the
- 1:11southeast. I drove from Missouri to
- 1:14Florida and then around Florida a little
- 1:16bit and drove from Miami back to uh
- 1:19Missouri. Um it's like a 23h hour uh
- 1:23route from Miami to uh Osage Beach or
- 1:26Lake Ozark. I am coming to you live from
- 1:29the Lake Ozark real estate of the art
- 1:31studio. Uh you can listen live all the
- 1:34time at damradio.comlive.
- 1:37You can phone in should you feel the
- 1:39urge. 573746820
- 1:42and I may even take a call or two should
- 1:44you feel the urge, but I'm at a
- 1:46different time slot right now trying to
- 1:48replace what I had this morning. And uh
- 1:50so tomorrow
- 1:52is the 20th uh obviously since today's
- 1:5519th and on the 20th at uh uh we're
- 1:58going to be on 7 a.m. tomorrow
- 2:02uh with Civic Outlaws. Usually we go
- 2:047:30 to 8:45, but I I want to um do a
- 2:09little bit more clean and have a a
- 2:11standard slot. We're going to move to
- 2:127:00 and go 7:00 to 8:30 for Civic
- 2:16Outlaws. And we'll change that time.
- 2:18We'll make sure that it's all done
- 2:20appropriately. I'm also going to try to
- 2:22do my uh Russian program uh Russian
- 2:25speaking tomorrow morning. If I get
- 2:27enough sleep, but uh I I may do it over
- 2:30the weekend. I I think I'd prefer to do
- 2:32that one on a weekend. I'm going to look
- 2:33for a a Sunday morning or something like
- 2:36that is what I think I'm going to do.
- 2:38Anyway, the top and so that'll uh
- 2:40probably be uh you know 9:00ish as well.
- 2:44Um
- 2:46big topic on everybody's lips. People
- 2:48are arguing about it um uh that are good
- 2:51friends arguing about what whether it
- 2:54should or should not be a war. And uh um
- 2:57we argue about it here on DAM radio. We
- 3:00have uh uh several people who think this
- 3:02is God's gift to the plan planet and
- 3:05that we should be all happy to be going
- 3:07to war with Iran. And and uh I I'm one
- 3:10of the people who believes that we
- 3:13followed
- 3:15Netanyahu and I wanted to find that
- 3:17clip. It's the only one I didn't find. I
- 3:19didn't go out looking for it. But uh uh
- 3:21the Rubio clip. You know what? I really
- 3:24think it's in the um I think I will be
- 3:27able to play that for you because the
- 3:28the big news is the the and I watched
- 3:32the whole 2hour 2hour discussion between
- 3:36Tucker Carlson and Joe Kent. I've
- 3:38watched people beat up on him most of
- 3:40the day today. Uh now there's a story
- 3:44that I was reading just recently. Where
- 3:47is this? Why is the FBI investigating
- 3:52now? This is Pardon my French,
- 3:54but this The FBI is now
- 3:57investigating the former
- 3:58counterterrorism chief who opposes the
- 4:01USIsraeli war on Iran. I oppose it, too.
- 4:04I think we followed along. We were led
- 4:06by the leash by the Netanyahu leash
- 4:09leash. And now we have Trump and
- 4:11Netanyahu saying, "Oh, gez, we don't
- 4:13have that leash." But we always follow
- 4:16these guys. I am no fan of Netanyahu. I
- 4:19think he's a brutal, brutal man. uh
- 4:22listening to Joe Kent with um
- 4:25Tucker Carlson for the two hours on the
- 4:28Wednesday night show and listening to
- 4:31him explain why was actually kind of
- 4:35enlightening and interesting because he
- 4:37feels the same way. Um that that these
- 4:40people uh Israelis
- 4:43are and have been at war and they look
- 4:46at things differently than we do. I do
- 4:50not like, absolutely do not like and am
- 4:55no fan. I think it is unAmerican for us
- 4:59to be associated with such a brutal,
- 5:03brutal man. That's a brutal man. They
- 5:06have a brutal point of view on this.
- 5:08They have no problem killing women and
- 5:10children. You know, oh, we're going to
- 5:12be fighting them later, so let's kill
- 5:13them. I I think that is wrong. I think
- 5:16that 67,000
- 5:18uh Palestinians is wrong, no matter how
- 5:21you slice it. And uh you know, dealing
- 5:25with terror in America does not mean
- 5:28going to Iran and blowing the whole
- 5:31place up. They've been around for 2500
- 5:34plus years. They're not going anywhere.
- 5:37And uh I don't think we're going to
- 5:39force them to. But now the FBI
- 5:42investigating Joe Kent. This is how it
- 5:44goes. you beat up on the the messenger
- 5:46who you don't like. It's the exact same
- 5:49whether you're Republican, Democrat,
- 5:50MAGAT, doesn't matter. If somebody says
- 5:53something suddenly you disagree with,
- 5:55you you uh crucify him. You slaughter
- 5:57him. And that's what's going on with Joe
- 6:00Kent. He wrote a letter, said why he was
- 6:02leaving. He met with the president, told
- 6:05the president why he was leaving, told
- 6:07him what he was going to do. He said it
- 6:09didn't go, you know, poorly, but it
- 6:12didn't go horrible either. And now Joe
- 6:16Kent, who claims that Israel influence
- 6:18President Trump, is being probed as a
- 6:21leak, a person who leaks, because that's
- 6:24what you do. You have to destroy him,
- 6:26not for the message. No, no, no, no, no.
- 6:30You got to destroy him for something
- 6:32completely unrelated. Good. We had to
- 6:34get rid of him anyway, says Trump. He
- 6:37needed to go anyway. He's bad. Now he's
- 6:39bad. He wasn't bad when you appointed
- 6:41him, but now he's bad. By the way, he
- 6:44said the same thing in 2024 when you
- 6:46were running for office about Iran that
- 6:49he's saying today. Maybe he is bad, but
- 6:52he's consistent and you hired him
- 6:55anyway. And so former head of the he
- 6:58resigned in protest over the USIsraeli
- 7:02war in Iran. Now he's under
- 7:04investigation. According to Semaphore, a
- 7:07probe into alleged improper sharing of
- 7:10classified information was opened before
- 7:13Kent quit his post and accuse the
- 7:16Israeli government of manipulating
- 7:17intelligence to influence Donald Trump's
- 7:20decision to launch a bombing campaign
- 7:22aimed at toppling the Iranian
- 7:24government. Now, I'm going to play the
- 7:25if I can find it, I'm going to play the
- 7:28clip of Rubio the day after saying that
- 7:32they knew that Netanyahu was going and
- 7:34they chose to go along with him. I if if
- 7:39you say you're not being led in by
- 7:40Netanyahu, you're full of crap. you
- 7:43know, we're we're exactly following
- 7:45their playbook and uh we are exactly
- 7:48following their slaughter of people.
- 7:53Whether it's Palestinians, whether it's
- 7:54Iranians, they are still people. You
- 7:57claim you're going to make some kind of
- 7:58change over there. You will not. There
- 8:00will be no change. We're not going to
- 8:02have a new different sort of government.
- 8:05Instead, now you've created another
- 8:08generation of martyrs. That's what
- 8:10you've done by killing all these people.
- 8:13You you you you are the decapitations. I
- 8:17totally disagree with and I believe it's
- 8:21unAmerican. That is not what we do. And
- 8:25now we have our own leaders. We don't do
- 8:29that. Israel does that.
- 8:33Uh Ukraine does that. They attack the
- 8:37individual. They they're killing
- 8:39individuals. Now I'm I'm I'm completely
- 8:42against that form. I believe it's form
- 8:45of terrorism. Now you probably think
- 8:47that's a bit much for me, but you know
- 8:49what are you creating? Martyrs. This is
- 8:52not a good plan. Mr. Netanyahu and this
- 8:56is what he does. And when we follow him
- 8:59and do exactly what he wants, we are
- 9:02painted with the same brush. Listen to
- 9:06this. And how this goes. This is this is
- 9:08callous callous callous callous
- 9:11discussions. Uh and these are people
- 9:13we're talking about. You disagree with
- 9:15them. They're your enemy. Whatever. You
- 9:18know, let's Okay, let's bring them in
- 9:20and fillet them. Why don't we slice off
- 9:23layers of their skin? Why don't we
- 9:24torture them? Why Why don't we go back
- 9:26to what it was in the Middle Ages and
- 9:29skin them? We'll just skin them. Why
- 9:32don't Why don't we go back to this
- 9:33torture because they are less than
- 9:35people? and and and the same thing went
- 9:37on in Ukraine when they're taking
- 9:39Russians and they were pissing on them
- 9:41and they were uh uh torturing them. They
- 9:45were shooting them in the leg
- 9:48and torturing them right there. There's
- 9:50videos of it. It's the exact same BS all
- 9:53the time. And the the more harsh you
- 9:56are, the better it is for you, I
- 9:58suppose. I disagree. And you know, that
- 10:01is why we have the Geneva Convention.
- 10:03You don't torture people. You don't you
- 10:05don't decapitate. Now, that's not in the
- 10:07Geneva Convention. This the you don't
- 10:10you can de you can't decapitate, but you
- 10:12can decap you can kill them. You can
- 10:13decapitate strike, but you don't kill uh
- 10:16the in this manner. I I think it's just
- 10:19wrong. It's inhuman.
- 10:22It has nothing to do with right, wrong,
- 10:24and whether whether Israel, who believes
- 10:26they're the chosen ones, get to
- 10:28slaughter at will, because it's another
- 10:30generation of people that are going to
- 10:32slaughter us if we don't. So hell with
- 10:34it. Let's slaughter them all. Men,
- 10:36women, children. You know, if if we've
- 10:39killed their dad 20 years from now,
- 10:41they're going to be the people that come
- 10:43after us cuz they remember that we
- 10:44killed their dad. So, we need to kill
- 10:46the children, too, right? That's how it
- 10:48goes. I mean, you bomb a school because
- 10:51you want to get the Navy. This is a
- 10:54naval uh children school for for Navy
- 10:57people. Let's bomb that. Uh nobody knows
- 11:00that that was really a mistake. Who gave
- 11:02the targeting? Was it was it uh Israel
- 11:05that gave you the targeting for that to
- 11:07create these sorts of things with a war
- 11:10you cannot get out of? If you think Iran
- 11:12is going to capitulate based on this,
- 11:14you better think again. It's incorrect.
- 11:17But if you have people given this
- 11:18message like I'm given and I'm not Joe
- 11:22Kent, I'm nobody. But Joe Joe Kent gives
- 11:25this uh similar thing. He was said that
- 11:30the right people were not consulted and
- 11:32that there's kind of a cabal of people
- 11:35and then it's always a cabal. It's
- 11:37always the Lindsey Grahams going out and
- 11:39oh jeez they're going to get nuclear
- 11:40weapons. They're enriching uranium.
- 11:42Enriched uranium doesn't mean you have a
- 11:44nuclear weapon.
- 11:46Doesn't mean it. And uh and by the way
- 11:49they've had a fat on nuclear weapons for
- 11:51a long time. And and so we don't believe
- 11:54him. All right. But we believe
- 11:55Netanyahu. If he opens his mouth, we
- 11:57ought to believe him, right? Oh, geez,
- 11:59he's Israeli. He's God's chosen one. He
- 12:01can do whatever he wants. He's a brutal
- 12:03murderering guy. But geez, he's God's
- 12:06chosen one. What are we supposed to do?
- 12:08Didn't you learn that in in Sunday
- 12:10school, Sam? I sure did. But I disagree
- 12:13with it because you do not slaughter
- 12:15women and children. You don't do it.
- 12:17That it's just wrong. You do not cap
- 12:20decapitate strike and kill the leaders
- 12:23creating martyrs. This is this is your
- 12:26policy. It's a BS policy. Listen to this
- 12:29clip. Okay. This this is this is I'm
- 12:32embarrassed for Mike Huckabe. I'm
- 12:34embarrassed for Netanyahu. Of course,
- 12:36he's always an embarrassment in my view,
- 12:38but now I'm embarrassed for for for for
- 12:40Mike Huckabe. This is this is nonsense.
- 12:43I disagree with this. Now, you might
- 12:45agree with it and go, "Oh, gez." It's
- 12:46just like throwing the the playing card,
- 12:48the Saddam Hudame Hussein playing cards
- 12:50at people. Oh, what do you got? I got
- 12:52the Ace of Spades. Look, we we blew this
- 12:54guy away. That is unAmerican. Okay. I I
- 12:59never liked it then. I don't like it
- 13:01now. And you don't just kill people, you
- 13:04know? I mean, you can be at war with
- 13:06them. That is different on a battlefield
- 13:09where you go. But decapitation strikes
- 13:11and blowing up a meeting place of of
- 13:14people running a country is crap.
- 13:16Bombing into Qatar without telling Qatar
- 13:19because there are some Hezbollah leaders
- 13:21who are negotiating. They were called
- 13:23there to negotiate Israel. And so what
- 13:26do you do? You blow up the place inside
- 13:28of Qatar. That is crap. And you didn't
- 13:31even tell Qatar about it. And but of
- 13:34course Qatar can't do anything about it.
- 13:36Why? because the US won't do anything
- 13:38about it. If the US isn't ever going,
- 13:40nobody will ever limit Netanyahu. That
- 13:44is a huge beef for me. And I am one of
- 13:46the people who believes that whatever
- 13:48Israel says, we just bend over or we
- 13:51take our leash. You know, America on a
- 13:53dog leash, you ought to put some kind of
- 13:55meme about that. Maybe I'll have AI
- 13:58create one and use it for this show. But
- 14:00we're going to listen right here to uh
- 14:03um this embarrassing piece between uh
- 14:08Netanyahu and Mike Huckabe. This is this
- 14:11is embarrassing. So let let's let's
- 14:13hear. Now the backdrop for this is
- 14:16there's been some claims on social media
- 14:18the last few days that uh uh Netanyahu
- 14:21was dead. So he went to coffee shop.
- 14:23There was discussion about his fingers
- 14:25in the videos in the coffee shop. said
- 14:27it was AI generated because there he had
- 14:29six fingers at a couple of points and
- 14:31then so they did it again and he was
- 14:33somewhere else and uh uh and that one he
- 14:36didn't have a ring and he did have a
- 14:38ring and he didn't and the ring kept
- 14:40going back and forth where he would have
- 14:41a ring and he didn't have a ring. So
- 14:43everybody was all up in arms about that
- 14:45and said these are AI generated. Well,
- 14:47just because it's AI generated doesn't
- 14:49mean a person is dead.
- 14:51Those two things are not mutually
- 14:53exclusive. When you go to your logic
- 14:55class, those two things don't go
- 14:57together or don't have to go together in
- 15:00in order for both to be true. Just
- 15:02because one is true doesn't mean the
- 15:04other is true. Just because he has a
- 15:06ring and then doesn't have a ring or
- 15:07even that the video is AI generated
- 15:10doesn't mean that he's dead or alive.
- 15:11You could be creating AI videos because
- 15:14you don't want to go to a damn coffee
- 15:15shop, but he wants to appear like he
- 15:17went to a coffee shop. That doesn't mean
- 15:18he's dead. So, that's the dispute. And
- 15:22it's been quite a big quite a big deal
- 15:25that people are passing around stuff
- 15:26about that. But while that was going on,
- 15:28this backdrop says, "Geez, we want to
- 15:30make sure that you're really alive." And
- 15:32here's Huckabe talking with And it's
- 15:34only a minute 18 seconds. So, let's
- 15:37let's uh hear what these bozos have to
- 15:40say. Where is it? Hope it's not too loud
- 15:43for you. I've had a little trouble with
- 15:45the volume.
- 15:46>> Well, Mr. Prime Minister, I I wanted you
- 15:48to know the president asked me to come
- 15:49and make sure you were okay.
- 15:52Yes, Mike. Yes, I'm alive.
- 15:56>> I checked that and I'm happy to see
- 15:57that. But he wanted to make sure
- 15:59because, you know, you guys get along
- 16:01too well.
- 16:02>> I know. And we shake hands with five
- 16:04fingers in each hand.
- 16:06>> Five fingers. See him mentioning that?
- 16:08>> I I'm alive.
- 16:09>> And he pulls out a list.
- 16:11>> Oh,
- 16:12>> and Yeah. Don't read it.
- 16:14>> So, it's a punch card.
- 16:15>> Mhm. Today I erased two names on the
- 16:18punch cards and you see how many more to
- 16:21go on this batch.
- 16:23>> You know what the good news is?
- 16:25>> My name is not on the punch card.
- 16:28>> Your name is on the list of the good
- 16:31good guys.
- 16:32>> Thank you.
- 16:33>> And uh and what the president US forces
- 16:37uh are doing is incredible. We're very
- 16:39proud to stand shouldertoshoulder with
- 16:41him. He should say, "We're very glad
- 16:44that we were able to suck them in to
- 16:46come into this war." This is a killer.
- 16:49Okay, that's a killer. I got a list in
- 16:52here and we're going and killing these
- 16:53guys. There was something on last night
- 16:56that said uh without any further without
- 16:58any further discussion. None. They can
- 17:02target and kill anybody that is anywhere
- 17:06in any leadership. That that's just an
- 17:08open kill order. Like if they ever see
- 17:11any leader, let's say you go to a
- 17:12negotiation and there's a leader sitting
- 17:14in there or you happen to know that he's
- 17:16going to be there having a meeting of
- 17:18something else. You you don't have to
- 17:19question. You don't have to ask. You
- 17:21don't have to go up the chain of command
- 17:23to find out if we're killing these uh uh
- 17:26leaders. You don't have to do any of it.
- 17:27Nope. Kill them. And you can kill them
- 17:30quite a few levels down in if you're an
- 17:33Israeli murderer, you know, and I
- 17:36shouldn't call him that, an Israeli
- 17:38killer. Okay? because it's it's it's
- 17:40still war, but we we we go hunt them
- 17:43down and we kill individuals
- 17:46at every level. They want to go down so
- 17:48far that they have no no level. There's
- 17:5192 93 million people in Iran.
- 17:56Trust me, the level you'd have to go to
- 17:59is very very far down. And and I believe
- 18:03I've had this discussion three or four
- 18:05times right here on this show. the
- 18:07danger of a nuclear weapon being used,
- 18:09an escalation. Escalation will never
- 18:12die. This this is an escalation hound.
- 18:16This guy Netanyahu is Mr. Escalation.
- 18:21And if if uh Iran, you know, you bring a
- 18:24knife, I'll bring a gun. You bring a
- 18:26gun, I'll bring a machine gun. You bring
- 18:29a machine gun, I'll bring a cannon. You
- 18:31bring a cannon, I'm bringing a tank. You
- 18:34bring a tank, I'll bring a battleship.
- 18:36And that is this guy. And he will he
- 18:40will always one up. The risk of nuclear
- 18:44button being pushed is this killer right
- 18:47here. That is more likely than any other
- 18:52scenario. Nobody is close to a weapon in
- 18:55Iran. There's nothing that says that
- 18:58they are except enriched uranium. And
- 19:01enriched uranium is now the discussion.
- 19:03It doesn't have doesn't have anything to
- 19:04do. They already said so. President
- 19:06Trump says no no nuclear weapons. These
- 19:08guys say all right no nuclear weapons.
- 19:10You're negotiating. While you're
- 19:11negotiating,
- 19:13Israel blows up the place you're meeting
- 19:15in. This is it's it's nonsense. This is
- 19:19not negotiation. This is not diplomacy
- 19:23by any stretch at all. And so this joke,
- 19:26I didn't like this at all. This joking
- 19:28about about killing and murder. I am not
- 19:32a fan of that.
- 19:34So did Kent. So a report on Thursday
- 19:37coincided with efforts by Trump
- 19:39administration allies and of course
- 19:42pro-Israel commentators now get to say
- 19:46that Kent was a known leaker and they've
- 19:50already started it. He's an anti-semite.
- 19:52If you say anything like I just said
- 19:55about Netanyahu, you are anti-semitic.
- 19:58Suddenly you're an enemy of Israel
- 20:00because you are anti-semitic. You can't
- 20:03have a disagreement without being
- 20:05anti-semitic. If you're instantly again
- 20:08your equation, your logic equation where
- 20:11the two don't equal. That's okay. When
- 20:14you're talking about when you're talking
- 20:15about Israel, you know, uh I I you know
- 20:18what it's like what what what uh color
- 20:21uniform you going to wear? Well,
- 20:24doesn't matter. Well, that's not a good
- 20:27example. I was going to put an example
- 20:29of of of where to touch um this these
- 20:32logic these wacky logic change that
- 20:35these guys use to turn everybody into an
- 20:39anti-semite. If you say something
- 20:41anything remotely like it don't fall
- 20:45over immediately and start oh gez we
- 20:47love the Israel Israelis and then you're
- 20:51an anti-semite. At what level do you
- 20:53become uh you know prosemitic? I mean,
- 20:57where where does that happen? Do if
- 20:59you're not pro, then suddenly you're
- 21:01anti, right? It's a plus or a minus.
- 21:03That's it. Black or white. There's no
- 21:06levels that I like. You know, I don't
- 21:07give a crap. You want to be a people,
- 21:09you want to live over there. Long as you
- 21:11aren't dragging me into unnecessary
- 21:13wars, I give a I don't care. But
- 21:17if you're going to drag me into wars, I
- 21:20don't want anything to do with you. And
- 21:22Netanyahu is dragging us into wars. So
- 21:25Kent's resignation letter blamed the
- 21:28consequences of the new Middle East
- 21:30conflict on Israel. I happen to agree
- 21:33with him. Early in this administration,
- 21:35highranking Israeli officials and
- 21:37influential members of the American
- 21:40media deployed a misinformation campaign
- 21:44that wholly under
- 21:46undermined your America first
- 21:49platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to
- 21:53encourage a war with Iran. He wrote to
- 21:56Trump. This echo chamber is used to
- 21:59deceive you into believing that Iran
- 22:01posed an imminent threat to the United
- 22:03States and that you should strike now.
- 22:06There was a clear path to a swift
- 22:07victory, he added. There isn't, by the
- 22:09way, suggesting Israel played a
- 22:12significant role in previous regional
- 22:14conflicts, including Iraq and Syria. All
- 22:17true. Such accusations are uncommon in
- 22:21mainstream US political discourse where
- 22:24they can prompt allegation of
- 22:25anti-Americanism
- 22:27or more likely anti-Jewish bigotry
- 22:31unlike criticism of a country's own
- 22:34leadership. So we can criticize our own
- 22:36leadership all day long and twice on
- 22:39Sunday and but you cannot criticize
- 22:43Netanyahu without suddenly being an
- 22:46anti-semite.
- 22:48nonsense. Such accusations are uncommon,
- 22:52right? Over the years, Trump's domestic
- 22:54critics have called him a Russian public
- 22:56puppet. Remember that? An
- 22:58insurrectionist, a convicted felon who
- 23:00must be barred from serving his second
- 23:02term. Now, left-wing commentators like
- 23:05Rachel Matto claim the president
- 23:07attacking Iran after after being
- 23:09corruptly influenced by Arab Gulf
- 23:12monarchies. I don't say that. I think
- 23:14she's nuts and she's wrong. I think he's
- 23:17been influenced and followed Netanyahu.
- 23:21So, uh, what are Kent's national
- 23:23security credentials? Kent is a military
- 23:25veteran who served 11 tours in Iraq
- 23:27mostly before becoming a CIA
- 23:30paramilitary offer. His officer, his
- 23:32first wife, Shannon, served in the US
- 23:34Army's intelligence support activity
- 23:36unit was killed in a terrorist attack in
- 23:38Mbage, Syria in 2019. He's been a vocal
- 23:42supporter of Trump and the Make America
- 23:44Great Again agenda. Before his
- 23:46appointment to the second
- 23:47administration, he publicly opposed war
- 23:50with you Iran. And he really did. Let's
- 23:53listen to what uh he said told u uh
- 23:57what's his nuts? Uh Tucker Carlson.
- 23:59Ready? Here's here's the Tucker part.
- 24:03>> Who later went on to become until
- 24:04yesterday the director of the National
- 24:06Counterterrorism Center. Here it is.
- 24:08What do you think and then longer term
- 24:11effects of a war with Iran would be on
- 24:13the United States?
- 24:16>> Immediately it would be very bloody. I I
- 24:18have no doubt that we could probably
- 24:20defeat some of their air defense and go
- 24:21in there and have another shock and awe
- 24:24campaign. But again, like we saw how the
- 24:26shock and awe campaign in Iraq really
- 24:27didn't actually work in the long run. Uh
- 24:30so I have no doubt that we'd have some
- 24:31immediate results that people would
- 24:32cheer about here in the United States.
- 24:34But Iran, Persia has always been an
- 24:37empire. It's been around longer than any
- 24:39of the other players in the modern
- 24:40Middle East right now and they are not
- 24:42going anywhere. If we get deeply
- 24:44involved and deeply entangled with Iran,
- 24:47we are we are playing right into China's
- 24:49hands because China would like nothing
- 24:51more than for us to be uh committing our
- 24:54military industrial base to a war in
- 24:56Eastern Europe in Ukraine and then to be
- 24:58committing our conventional military
- 25:00power, our blood and our treasure back
- 25:02in the Middle East. that will make the
- 25:04Pacific, our actual border, extremely
- 25:07vulnerable to Chinese aggression. Or
- 25:09China will simply just watch us bleed
- 25:11out economically as we bleed out on the
- 25:14battlefield on these couple different
- 25:16theaters. It's absolute insanity. It's
- 25:18opening up Pandora's box. And again, for
- 25:21what gain to the American people?
- 25:23>> Now, that was 2024. And and and and I I
- 25:27do encourage you. Here I am looking at
- 25:28it. Last night when I watched it, there
- 25:31were like 200,000 views or something.
- 25:34Right now there's 1,728,28
- 25:39views of the video he posted yesterday.
- 25:42And uh uh you know that's a big deal.
- 25:45And and the clips of it I think people
- 25:49need to pay attention to this this echo
- 25:52chamber BS that we need to we need to
- 25:56take out Iran. We need to take it's it's
- 25:58it's nonsense. It is complete untruthful
- 26:03crap being pumped down your throat to
- 26:06join another war in another place that
- 26:10we don't belong. And somebody asked me
- 26:13to provide this today. So, I'm going to
- 26:16the uh there's some good music, too.
- 26:18We'll play that later. But uh uh I have
- 26:21another one. Where in the health is
- 26:23this?
- 26:25Uh
- 26:27here is it's called and I went and found
- 26:31it. Uh it's called uh Trump Trump. The
- 26:35old Trumpster. I got a bunch of music on
- 26:37here so I got to scroll through it. But
- 26:39here's Donald Trump for two minutes and
- 26:41people on his behalf for two minutes
- 26:43talking about
- 26:45uh you know um his views on war. Hang on
- 26:51one second. We're going to make sure it
- 26:53gets right where we need it to be so we
- 26:56get every moment of this hilarious video
- 27:00in the privacy of your own home. Ready?
- 27:03Uh here we go. Here's Donald Trump a
- 27:06bunch of times for a whole two minutes
- 27:08and other people speaking on his behalf.
- 27:11>> I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.
- 27:14People don't believe that. Thank you.
- 27:17A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for a
- 27:20man who wants to end wars, not start
- 27:23them.
- 27:23>> We do not want war with Iran. We
- 27:25actually want peace. The Iranians are
- 27:27clearly not very good at war. Perhaps
- 27:30they should follow President Trump's
- 27:31lead and give peace a chance.
- 27:32>> Kamla is campaigning with wararm mongers
- 27:35like Liz Cheney. How do you think that
- 27:36is? She picks Liz Cheney whose father
- 27:41virtually destroyed the Middle East. You
- 27:43know Liz Cheney, she talks big. Oh, I
- 27:45want war. She always wants war. Every
- 27:46time I was with her in the White House,
- 27:48we should attack this nation, that
- 27:50nation, nations that people never even
- 27:53heard of. We should attack. She's a big
- 27:55big tough guy. She sits back in
- 27:57Washington. Oh, we ought to go and
- 27:59attack Iran, Iraq. We're going to attack
- 28:03everybody. That's why I broke up with
- 28:04her. All she wanted to do is go to war
- 28:06with everybody. These war hawks, they
- 28:09want to draft your kids to die in wars
- 28:13and they will never fight themselves,
- 28:14>> you know. We'll stay around the country
- 28:16for 15 years. Just bomb the hell out of
- 28:18everybody. Make everybody miserable.
- 28:20Nobody knows why we're there. You know,
- 28:22the wars that never end. These endless
- 28:24wars that we've been in, I've gotten us
- 28:26out of so many. We don't want to get
- 28:27into wars. We're tired of fighting. I'm
- 28:30the only president in the last 84 years
- 28:33that didn't start a war. Under Trump, we
- 28:35will have no more wars. No more wars. No
- 28:38more wars. We will have prosperity and
- 28:40peace. We will have prosperity and we
- 28:43will have peace. Remember, I'm the
- 28:44president of peace.
- 28:45>> They said, "He will start a war. I'm not
- 28:47going to start a war. I'm going to stop
- 28:48wars. He's going to start a war." I
- 28:50said, "No, no, no. My rhetoric is going
- 28:53to keep us out of wars." And that's what
- 28:55happened. My proudest legacy will be
- 28:58that of a peacemaker. That's what I want
- 29:00to be, a peacemaker. We will measure our
- 29:02success not only by the battles we win,
- 29:05but also by the wars that we end. And
- 29:08perhaps most importantly, the wars we
- 29:11never get into.
- 29:14our president will start a war with Iran
- 29:17because he has absolutely no ability to
- 29:20negotiate. He's weak and he's
- 29:22ineffective. I believe that he will
- 29:25attack Iran sometime prior to the
- 29:27election because he thinks that's the
- 29:30only way he can get elected. Isn't it
- 29:33pathetic?
- 29:36>> Quite pathetic, frankly, that we have to
- 29:40go to war. Um and and I for one
- 29:44disagree.
- 29:46I am not a fan.
- 29:50International flavor does not support
- 29:53war in Iran. It's just wrong. I don't
- 29:57support war for other countries. I think
- 30:00it's wrong. I don't care about Iran. And
- 30:04if Iran are bad guys, great. Be bad guys
- 30:08in Iran. You're not going to get rid of
- 30:10Let's say you kill the top million.
- 30:12Okay, let's let's kill off the top
- 30:14million people. You still got 91 million
- 30:18below that who think the same way,
- 30:21right? This this nonsense about, oh
- 30:23geez, they just want democracy and they
- 30:25want to overthrow their government and
- 30:27it's going to be better. No, it's not.
- 30:29It's not any better in in Venezuela. You
- 30:32put you put the take out the most
- 30:34corrupt person and put in the second or
- 30:36third most corrupt person. That's it's
- 30:38not changing. And then you steal the
- 30:40oil. So that's okay. We've taken the
- 30:43oil. The right this is good stuff. We've
- 30:45taken the oil. We We have regime change.
- 30:47No. Well, we've regime changed with
- 30:49decapitation strikes in Iran and it will
- 30:53not work long term. We're writing the
- 30:56same old crap. Now, there's been some st
- 30:58some talk about uh JD Vance, and I
- 31:01haven't done enough research on it, but
- 31:03boy, now it's coming up that he hasn't
- 31:06been there beating the drum, excuse me,
- 31:09for the old uh for the old Trumpster. Um
- 31:12beating the war drums for Iran cuz
- 31:15everybody's supposed to be beating the
- 31:16war drum now. We're supposed to be very
- 31:18pro blowing up and uh uh and
- 31:21killing people and decapitation strikes
- 31:23and taking out individuals and finding
- 31:26out where they're having coffee and
- 31:28blowing up the entire coffee shop to
- 31:30kill one person. I listened to an
- 31:32Iranian show last night. Um well
- 31:34actually it wasn't but an Iranian man
- 31:36very well spoken English speakaking and
- 31:39they uh uh there was a one of them was
- 31:41in Qatar and there was I really should
- 31:44find that video. This guy was nuts.
- 31:47Well, there was a a US guy that was
- 31:49speaking an economist and he kept and
- 31:52his theory was
- 31:55now I admit I'm know my economics degree
- 31:58is University of Illinois. Okay, that's
- 32:00you know that'll tell you how mine is
- 32:02and it was it was many years ago. So
- 32:05it's uh economics Russian studies. So
- 32:09that's me. I'm I have a law degree but
- 32:12big deal. the the economics. I'm no
- 32:14economic genius, but I'm a lot smarter
- 32:16than this poor guy. He gets up there.
- 32:20Excuse me. I don't know his background.
- 32:22Um, but he, you know, he was put on as
- 32:24he was representing some com company,
- 32:26not not government company. And uh, so
- 32:30this was an Alazer um,
- 32:33Alazer English interview. three
- 32:36participants, one American, one uh um
- 32:40Iranian, and one Chinese guy. Okay?
- 32:43because the the person the um
- 32:48moderator was the guy asking the
- 32:50questions. he was in Doha in Qatar and
- 32:53he uh so he starts talking about he he
- 32:57starts with the American guy whatever
- 32:59his name was and he starts with that guy
- 33:01and he says all right so the prices of
- 33:03gas and the prices of liquid natural gas
- 33:06have gone up dramatically since the
- 33:08start of the war in Iran and this guy
- 33:09says oh that's not a problem for America
- 33:12he said America it's all okay I'm
- 33:15driving at the time paying $4 a gallon
- 33:18for gas on the way back home and I was
- 33:21just pleased a month ago here in
- 33:24Missouri to say, "Geez, I just paid $249
- 33:27and they say it's going to drop to$
- 33:28239." And you know, and I and I said at
- 33:31the time, I was like, you know, I
- 33:32generally support Trump nationally. I
- 33:36don't support him. I think he's a mess
- 33:37internationally and I don't support
- 33:40hardly any of the things he's doing
- 33:41internationally. But if he keeps my gas
- 33:44prices low, I suppose I won't I won't
- 33:46too much. No, maybe I'm the one
- 33:49that caused all this because as soon as
- 33:51you mention something, it's like, well,
- 33:53it gets taken away, you know. Don't you
- 33:57Well, don't mention it. Don't mention
- 33:59that you're only paying 250 for gas. And
- 34:01this guy who they had interview and he
- 34:03said, well, for us, uh, gas and oil, the
- 34:06prices for us, they only rise in
- 34:09America. We supply all of our own gas
- 34:11now. We're self-sufficient and we're a
- 34:13net exporter, right? and he says, "So
- 34:17that being the case, our our gas prices
- 34:20are more reflective of the national
- 34:22market and not the international." And
- 34:24the only the way I took it, he said it
- 34:26wrong probably, is that the reason the
- 34:28gas prices are going up is because of
- 34:31the international issues, but that they
- 34:34don't really need to because everything
- 34:36is produced in the United States.
- 34:38Everything is is for us. We're a net
- 34:41exporter. So, and if that if that is
- 34:43truly the case, why in the world are our
- 34:46prices going up? Because they're price
- 34:48gouging me for a dollar to a$150 a
- 34:51gallon. Is that what's going on? Because
- 34:53you can, so you might as well. Not that
- 34:55you have to. You know, you've already
- 34:57got the gas. Those prices should be 3,
- 35:00four weeks behind at least, but they're
- 35:01not. They instantly go up. And uh
- 35:04diesels are like 550.
- 35:07Nonsense. I'm glad I no longer drive my
- 35:10pat. the Volkswagen. Anyway, I I've I've
- 35:13realized I'm I'm I'm I'm bitching on
- 35:15this. This morning I was too damn tired
- 35:18and now I'm on a roll.
- 35:21Still got a bit of a cough. Emphyma
- 35:23probably be dead in a week. Who knows?
- 35:25Um I don't have emphyma and I shouldn't
- 35:27make jokes about that. I'll be as bad as
- 35:29Netany and Yahoo and uh and Huckabe
- 35:32joking about the the kill list, you
- 35:34know. Let's go Jesus. Here's your deck
- 35:36of cards with Saddam Hussein on it.
- 35:38We're going to kill him. Uh, I didn't
- 35:42like it then. I don't like it now. It's
- 35:45unAmerican.
- 35:47Uh, let's see where else. The Pierce
- 35:50Morgan Show. This guy's a genius.
- 35:51Anyway, but let's let's listen to this.
- 35:53Um, we're going to listen to just the
- 35:56tiniest bit because here's Lindsey
- 35:59Graham, of course, going to town on and
- 36:02and and the lies he tells right here or
- 36:04the the stretching of the truth right
- 36:07here. Uh, let's put it that way. Uh, pay
- 36:10attention to this is this is how you get
- 36:13eternal war. You put a guy like this in
- 36:16charge of your purse.
- 36:20Oops, I've turned it down. Now I messed
- 36:22it up. Had it all lined up and put it
- 36:24on. Put push click. Now I got to go back
- 36:27a couple seconds. Make sure we get it
- 36:29all. But he had some guy bitching about
- 36:31money that was pretty damn funny. He
- 36:34said it was millions of dollars. Anyway,
- 36:37here we go. I I wanted to skip that
- 36:39part.
- 36:40>> A retired Green Beret and a veteran of
- 36:4211 combat tours 20 years service in the
- 36:45US Army. He blamed the October 7th
- 36:47terror attack on America's failure to
- 36:49curtail Iran's threat and amid a flurry
- 36:52of media criticism about reported links
- 36:54to far-right groups. He publicly
- 36:56disavowed the likes of Nick Fuentes. All
- 36:58of this earned him the endorsement of
- 37:00many conservative commentators as he
- 37:01sought political office. President Trump
- 37:03then appointed him as a top
- 37:04counterterrorism official in the US. the
- 37:07position from which he dramatically
- 37:08resigned yesterday. His statement said,
- 37:11"I cannot in good conscience support the
- 37:12ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no
- 37:15imminent threat to our nation. It's
- 37:17clear that we started this war due to
- 37:18pressure from Israel and its powerful
- 37:20American lobby." Well, Joe Kent is now
- 37:22facing the full force of the war spin
- 37:23machine spearheaded by Ben Shapiro.
- 37:26>> Spin Graham and Mark Lavine who says he
- 37:28should be investigated for espionage.
- 37:30>> Yeah, here comes Lindsey Graham. We need
- 37:32TO TAKE THAT GUY DOWN HERE. READY?
- 37:35What are you doing? You're giving aid
- 37:38and comfort to a lie.
- 37:41>> Threat. How much more evident could you
- 37:43be?
- 37:44>> Where's Where's the imminent threat?
- 37:46Well, listen to his justification for
- 37:48imminent threat. This is the guy you got
- 37:50to watch out for. This guy will stand
- 37:53there naked and say he's wearing the
- 37:55emperor's new clothes. This is the guy
- 37:59within two weeks having enough material
- 38:02to make 10 bombs. How close could you
- 38:04come? Not much.
- 38:07>> Now, and even if they have one, so what?
- 38:10>> That is conspiracy trash. It's also kind
- 38:12of strange since President Trump has
- 38:14said that it's conspiracy trash. So,
- 38:15apparently Trump is so deeply deeply
- 38:18enthralled to those strange powerful
- 38:21American lobbies. We're not going to say
- 38:23it. We're not going to say it. We're not
- 38:23going to say that he he apparently has
- 38:25been so bamboozled by them that he's
- 38:28still under the impression that he's his
- 38:29own man.
- 38:30Well, for his part, President Trump, who
- 38:32appointed Joe Kent as the director of
- 38:34the National Counterterrorism Center,
- 38:36said he's not a smart person and has
- 38:38always been weak on security. If nothing
- 38:40else, it's another lesson in how
- 38:42quickly,
- 38:42>> and this is what I hate about Trump. So,
- 38:44so Trump, if you turn on him, he does
- 38:47the exact same thing. Well, he was
- 38:49stupid anyway. Well, good. I got rid we
- 38:51should have gotten rid of him. Uh, but
- 38:53you're the one who hired him.
- 38:57You picked him. You chose not to listen
- 39:00to him. You choose to listen to people.
- 39:04Same old people. Same old crap. Same old
- 39:08same old
- 39:10what do you call it? Deep state actors.
- 39:13Lindsey Graham. Tell you what, it will
- 39:17not change. Now, now no, no. The the the
- 39:19big part is comes to uh we're going to
- 39:23So, we've heard all the videos that I'm
- 39:25going to show right now. We're not going
- 39:27to listen to that guy. Hegsth has a
- 39:29couple of things going on. He needs $200
- 39:31billion. The war has already cost 12
- 39:35billion.
- 39:36Three weeks, 12 billion. 4 billion a
- 39:39week. Now it's not going to last only
- 39:41two weeks. It's going to week work six.
- 39:44There was another person I listened to
- 39:46that uh on on another show that said,
- 39:48"Oh, no, no, no. We're about halfway
- 39:49through." She was an American
- 39:51spokesperson. She did work for the
- 39:52government. Wish I'd have kept her name,
- 39:54but we're we're we're we're halfway
- 39:55through this. We're almost done now. Now
- 39:57it's no longer a two week or a three-day
- 40:00or any sort of war like that. Now it's
- 40:02suddenly 6 weeks and at the end of 6
- 40:04weeks it'll Oh no, we're close. It'll be
- 40:0712, right? It's a uh this is this is
- 40:12nonsense. And Heg Seth is here pitching
- 40:14for more money. This guy, you know, I
- 40:16used to enjoy watching him uh sometimes
- 40:19on Fox News. I thought he was he was an
- 40:21interesting guy. Now he's angry. He's a
- 40:25he's angry all the time. Kill him. Kill
- 40:27him. Kill him. He wants to kill people.
- 40:30The Biden administration, according to
- 40:32him, depleted the US weapon stock by
- 40:34sending it to Kiev. The Pentagon chief
- 40:37says Pentagon is now prioritizing
- 40:39refilling its own weapon stock instead
- 40:42of sending weapons to Ukraine, says
- 40:45Hegsth. He blames the Biden
- 40:47administration for any challenges the US
- 40:50military has been facing in supplies and
- 40:53equipment lately. He made these remarks
- 40:55Thursday during a media briefing along
- 40:58Air Force Colonel Dan Kaine, chairman of
- 41:00the joint cheeks cheeks butt cheeks
- 41:04asked about the reported $200 billion
- 41:08more
- 41:10war chest they have been seeking from
- 41:12Congress to fund the Iran war. Hegs
- 41:15confirmed the discussions were ongoing
- 41:17and appeared to imply the requested
- 41:20supplement could grow even beyond that.
- 41:24as far as 200 billion. I think that
- 41:27number could move obviously. Listen to
- 41:29this. Here's here's another great great
- 41:32guy. It takes money to kill bad guys,
- 41:36said Hegathth.
- 41:38The additional funding is needed to
- 41:40replenish US military stocks to ensure
- 41:43that we're properly funded for what's
- 41:45been done and for what we may have to do
- 41:48in the future now that we're the war
- 41:50department
- 41:51and not the department of defense. We're
- 41:54the Department of War. Uh and and so you
- 41:57name it, you know, appropriately at
- 41:59least. And he pointed fingers, of
- 42:02course, just like all Trumpsters at
- 42:03previous administrations. They're all
- 42:05stupid. We're geniuses. and we've got it
- 42:08going on now. I I support Trumpster home
- 42:12at home. If he wanted to to pump up some
- 42:15things to combat terror here, all right,
- 42:18you you know, prior administrations have
- 42:20stolen some of our rights in that regard
- 42:22anyway. You want to uh beef up some crap
- 42:26here, fine. This getting into new wars,
- 42:29screw that. I have no interest in it.
- 42:31And and I don't want to do it. And and
- 42:33by the way, I'm not alone. It's more
- 42:36than half of America that think like me.
- 42:38And and I don't mean that means it's
- 42:40okay. I've been the lone ranger on
- 42:42several things before. It doesn't mean
- 42:44I'm not right. I am right. But it's, you
- 42:48know, it's it's when you're asking what
- 42:50the people want and who's going to send
- 42:52their kids to fight. When the hell's
- 42:54Lindsey Graham going to be out there
- 42:56with a with a with a weapon, you know,
- 42:58stand a post there, buddy. Uh we're
- 43:02Here's Hegathth. We are also still
- 43:04dealing with the environment that Joe
- 43:07Biden created. These guys are
- 43:08continually blaming others which was
- 43:11depleted those stock piles and not
- 43:13sending them to our own military but to
- 43:15Ukraine which is every time we reach
- 43:18back and look at any sort of challenge
- 43:20we have. It goes back to well send this
- 43:23to Ukraine. Ultimately we think these
- 43:26munitions are better spent in our own
- 43:28interests at this point. Tell you what,
- 43:32it'd be great if you'd have done this
- 43:34back when I said to do it when you first
- 43:37took office. All you had to do was cut
- 43:40off Ukraine. That war would be over
- 43:42right now. We have nothing to do with
- 43:43it. If you didn't cause the war in Iran,
- 43:47that sucker be over, too. Let let
- 43:50Netanyahu fight his own crap. We don't
- 43:53have anything to do with it. Nor should
- 43:56we. regardless of any justification,
- 43:59regardless of oh gee, you're an
- 44:00anti-semite if you're not willing to
- 44:02send a million troops over to invade uh
- 44:04invade um Iran. 2500 troops on their way
- 44:09from uh uh Singapore or wherever they
- 44:12were stopped. It's taken them like a
- 44:14week and a half to get their ship from
- 44:16uh wherever they were stationed.
- 44:18Starting in Japan, they were in
- 44:19Singapore last I heard. And now they're
- 44:21going to be about a week and a half, 10
- 44:23days until they get to uh to the uh
- 44:26Gulf. So they can go in there and try to
- 44:29take this car island, which is nonsense,
- 44:32too, because nobody's going to let you
- 44:34have it. If you go in there and take
- 44:37that, it's it doesn't take any genius to
- 44:39know that if I can't have it, neither
- 44:41can you. Will be the game. And the
- 44:44oneupsmanship being played right now,
- 44:48will you bomb our oil fields? What does
- 44:50Iran do? They send over the leaflets and
- 44:52the flyers and they put out the radio
- 44:54thing that says, "Listen, we're coming
- 44:56to Qatar. Here's the gas. Here's the
- 44:59LNG. Here's the oil fields that we're
- 45:02going to strike. We are striking these
- 45:04facilities. Get the civilians out cuz
- 45:07we're going to blow them up." And there
- 45:10aren't any patriots left. There's no
- 45:11defense. There's nothing going on over
- 45:13there. And they can get them through
- 45:15anyway. just and they have and they've
- 45:17done and so it's back and forth and it
- 45:19will be oneupsmanship
- 45:21all the way down the line. That's what's
- 45:25going to happen. Kiev is displaying its
- 45:27ever growing appetite for more western
- 45:29funding and military deliveries uh with
- 45:32the conflict and they routinely accuse
- 45:36their backers which includes us with not
- 45:39providing enough support. Yeah, we're we
- 45:42need we need you guys to move quicker.
- 45:44we need you to give us more money. These
- 45:46guys haven't paid for anything in their
- 45:48own with their own economy cuz they
- 45:50don't have one. It's destroyed. You have
- 45:53Ukraine the beggar state right now.
- 45:56That's it. It's the beggar state. They
- 45:58don't produce anything except maybe some
- 46:01uh I heard an an article that said they
- 46:03had some uh pretty good um FPVs, a fir
- 46:07uh firstperson view drones, these these
- 46:10drones that go out because when they
- 46:12send these drones into u uh Belgra
- 46:15they're into uh Briansk regions of
- 46:18Russia and then and they send them over
- 46:20there, they send they send several so
- 46:22they'll send several attack ones and
- 46:24then a couple of video ones and so they
- 46:25can keep track of the attacks and where
- 46:27they're going and there's something
- 46:29going on with uh uh Elon Musk and the um
- 46:34Starlink stuff because Starlink doesn't
- 46:37stop at the borders but Russia can't
- 46:39have it and so Starlink um there are
- 46:43going to be problems there but what
- 46:44they've been doing and the Ukrainians
- 46:46have their Starlink and the Russian
- 46:48terminals have all been shut off which
- 46:50is creating a few problems for them and
- 46:52I talked to you about that within the
- 46:54last month or so and it is causing some
- 46:57issues. But in the reverse side, Ukraine
- 47:00can send over these attacks into the
- 47:02Russian territories and are still
- 47:04getting coverage um from Starlink inside
- 47:10of Russia.
- 47:12Interesting. And I'm not sure how that
- 47:13ends up. Now, Russia's got the Sputnik
- 47:16uh type, and I forget what the name of
- 47:18it is. It's not Sputnik, but it's the
- 47:20type of Sputnik where they're sending up
- 47:22their own uh uh satellites in
- 47:25conjunction with some of the China ones
- 47:27to uh implement their own sort of
- 47:29Starlink as well that will uh uh give it
- 47:32back to them, but they're behind in that
- 47:34respect in that regard. But Kiev
- 47:37Zalinsk's advances have been snubbed by
- 47:40uh uh oh, I missed a sentence here. He
- 47:43Zalinsky claims that Washington as well
- 47:46as the Gulf states have sought Kiev's
- 47:48help in fending off Iranian retaliatory
- 47:51strikes and floated swapping Ukrainian
- 47:54interceptor drones for US-made
- 47:57anti-aircraft Patriot missiles. Give us
- 48:00some Patriots and we'll give you the
- 48:02interceptor drones. Russia created the
- 48:04interceptor drones, by the way. And uh
- 48:06they're having dog fights with drones.
- 48:09Drones are taking out other drones.
- 48:11Russia's got a laser one. It's pretty
- 48:13damn cool. Uh Zalinsk's advances were
- 48:15snubbed by President Trump who said that
- 48:18Washington had not sought Kiev's help in
- 48:20the Iran war at all. The US president
- 48:23took personal jabs at the Ukrainian
- 48:25leader, stating that the last person we
- 48:28need help from Miss Zalinski. Well, at
- 48:31least we're in agreement on that. But
- 48:34you should have cut these bozos off a
- 48:37long time ago. The war would be over.
- 48:41But oh no, it's you you cannot it's
- 48:44really frustrating to me that he can't
- 48:45do the things he promised when he was
- 48:47running for office. And uh those are the
- 48:50things I don't like that and it's all
- 48:52international crap, you know, all of it.
- 48:55The stuff that he's been doing inside
- 48:56the country, I'm I'm not against it, you
- 48:58know. I'm not one of them. I'm not all
- 49:01necessarily for it, you know. I don't I
- 49:03don't despise people that come from
- 49:06other countries, you know. I don't care.
- 49:07It doesn't bother me, you know. Just
- 49:10come in, live like we do. I'm a happy
- 49:12clam. Come legally. I'm good with that.
- 49:15And as long as you block them, every
- 49:17other country blocks people from coming
- 49:19in without a visa, without being legal.
- 49:22I'm getting my Russian one repeated
- 49:24right now. And I also want to go to a
- 49:26couple other places, but it it's a
- 49:28process. Follow the damn process. And
- 49:32and I have no problems with you, boy.
- 49:33I've been all over the place here. But
- 49:35I've been on a roll, so I'm happy with
- 49:37that. So there have been some Ukrainians
- 49:40arrested
- 49:42in India. Freddy, Ukraine uh has the
- 49:45arrest of six Ukrainian mercenaries in
- 49:48India with subversive activities is a
- 49:51setback for K's ties with New Delhi.
- 49:55A global strategic analyst tells RT
- 49:58India on March the 13th, six Ukrainians
- 50:01and one US citizen were taken into
- 50:04custody by India's anti-terrorism agency
- 50:07for alleged links with insurgents in
- 50:09Myanmar. They've been accused of subser
- 50:13subversive activities in India's
- 50:15northeast region bordering Myanmar,
- 50:17Nepal, Bhutan, China, and Bangladesh.
- 50:20One Ukrainian national who was arrested
- 50:23uh is also linked to the notorious
- 50:24neo-Nazi community in Kiev. India has
- 50:28made the seven names all public.
- 50:30Ukraine's foreign ministry demanded that
- 50:33detainees receive unhindered consular
- 50:36access.
- 50:38asked how this would complicate
- 50:40bilateral ties.
- 50:43Uh Shashi Astana
- 50:46said he's a you Indian uh political
- 50:51person. This is somehow a setback
- 50:54in a manner that you have seen these
- 50:56mercenaries coming here and creating
- 50:58problems and India has been quite
- 51:00transparent with them. The Ukrainians
- 51:02will continue to receive unhindered
- 51:04access. That's how the judicial process
- 51:06works. doesn't mean they're not going to
- 51:08be kept in custody. Regarding the
- 51:11Ukrainian foreign ministry statement
- 51:12that its embassy in India hasn't
- 51:14received an official notice not
- 51:16notification, he said maybe this is what
- 51:19they told me at the media to justify the
- 51:21audience in Ukraine or Kev. As far as
- 51:23consular access, there is no problem
- 51:26getting it in India. Even the terrorist
- 51:28who killed people in the Taj hotel in
- 51:31Mumbai in 2008 were given consular
- 51:34access. This American Matthew Aaron van
- 51:37Djk is the kingpin in the manner that he
- 51:40calls himself a security specialist. He
- 51:43has been fighting ISIS, Libya, Ukraine
- 51:46and other places. Their credentials are
- 51:48in the media, all seven of them. The US
- 51:52citizens credentials look like he is on
- 51:55a drone selling spree.
- 51:58India's National Investigative Agency
- 52:01reportedly found evidence that multiple
- 52:04consignments of drones from Europe were
- 52:06delivered by these individuals into
- 52:09groups in Miseram. Well, that's
- 52:12mercenary stuff. Ukrainian mercenary
- 52:14activity in India is very disturbing.
- 52:17New Delhi does not agree to K's request
- 52:20to release the suspects detained by an
- 52:24anti-terrorism. recently uncovered
- 52:26Ukrainian mercenaries activity. It's
- 52:29very disturbing. The group uh the
- 52:32anti-terrorism organization national
- 52:34investigation agency last week arrested
- 52:36the seven six Ukrainians and a US men
- 52:39for for training and supplying weapons
- 52:42to insurgents in Myanmar.
- 52:45The men had crossed into India's eastern
- 52:48neighbors territory and back through the
- 52:52state of Miseram which restricts the
- 52:54entry of non-Indian citizens. The lack
- 52:57of Myanmar army personnel on the border
- 53:00say is a significant movement of the
- 53:02people uh said former director general
- 53:05of the Assam rifles. Here's the quote.
- 53:08The Ukrainian embassy has asked for
- 53:10their release but we are not going to
- 53:13give them up because it is very very
- 53:16clear that they entered this part of
- 53:19India illegally. Johan said the suspect
- 53:23will be charged for violation of Indian
- 53:26law. Uh Ivan Su Sukmanovski is
- 53:31Ukrainian. Uh
- 53:34Stefan Kiev, Mariam, that last name. So
- 53:37Mariam, Stefan Kiev, uh Han Sharukq,
- 53:41Maxim Han Sharukq, and Victor Kaminski
- 53:46are four of the of the five
- 53:49that have been arrested. He said the
- 53:51region around Myanmar is a hotbed of
- 53:53insurgent activity. Those arrests could
- 53:56have been in the region to uh uh arreste
- 53:59could have been in the region to train
- 54:01insurgents to fight Myanmar. However,
- 54:03many of these groups are also helping
- 54:05our insurgent groups that are operating
- 54:08inside of India. And so it is a
- 54:10disturbing factor. The India Myanmar
- 54:14border is 1,643
- 54:17km long and the lack of a continuous
- 54:20fence. The issue with our northeastern
- 54:23borders, a lot of people are trying to
- 54:26fish in these troubled waters. I'm not
- 54:29sure which foreign powers are involved
- 54:32in it,
- 54:34but we will come to know and we have the
- 54:37capability to deal with this very soon.
- 54:41So, who is Matthew van Djk? American
- 54:43film me maker turned mercenary at the
- 54:47center of the terror probe. He fought in
- 54:49global conflicts. He was in held as a P
- 54:52during a civil war in Libya and he fi
- 54:55fought in Syria and Ukraine and now he's
- 55:00involved in some drone plot in uh uh um
- 55:05Myanmar.
- 55:08Tell you what, it's quite a world out
- 55:10there. I suppose we should all get out
- 55:11and go sell drones. Uh be a very good
- 55:15deal.
- 55:16Uh let's see here. Ukraine is an enemy
- 55:19of Iran.
- 55:22Okay. EU facing energy price tsunami
- 55:26says uh an envoy from Russia that the
- 55:29prices are going to go way in the hell
- 55:31up. That's a big story. Uh Lebanon is
- 55:34waiting for an issi onslaught. You know,
- 55:37they're going to go into there again.
- 55:40You know, slaughter some more people. Uh
- 55:43you know, I suppose good for them. But
- 55:45long as long as it doesn't involve us,
- 55:48I'm not gonna about it. Actually,
- 55:50I am because it always involves us.
- 55:54Let's see. Um, the US has been drawn by
- 55:59Israel into an unlawful war against Iran
- 56:04and needs help to disengage, says Omani
- 56:08foreign minister Badr al-Busidi.
- 56:12In an opinion piece published by The
- 56:14Economist on Wednesday, the Middle East
- 56:17nation's top diplomat called on US
- 56:20allies in the region to tell the truth
- 56:24about the conflict and admit that
- 56:26Washington has lost control of its own
- 56:30foreign policy. There are two parties to
- 56:33this war who have nothing to gain from
- 56:36it and that is the US and Iran. The only
- 56:40ones who have anything to gain is
- 56:42Israel. I happen to agree with this
- 56:44point of view. The U part of it. The US
- 56:47maintains close security and defense
- 56:49partnership with six Gulf states. Saudi
- 56:53Arabia,
- 56:54Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman,
- 56:59and has a significant military presence
- 57:01in the region, including bases and naval
- 57:03facilities. The escalation has had
- 57:06economic and security consequences for
- 57:08both for those states with Iran
- 57:10retaliating against targets in their own
- 57:12territory and Gulf officials have
- 57:15reportedly complained they were not
- 57:18consulted or warned before the US and
- 57:22Israel launched the campaign against
- 57:25Iran on February 28. Why? Because they
- 57:29would have said no, don't do it. That's
- 57:32why you don't consult them. Israel would
- 57:34never consult them. Israel consults no
- 57:37one. They tell the US what they're going
- 57:39to do and the US follows along. I do
- 57:42need to share that clip with you. Where
- 57:44is it? Let's see. I think it's here.
- 57:48Let's Let's follow on a little bit until
- 57:50I find him. But I'll keep looking for it
- 57:53and make sure that we have the Rubio
- 57:58uh commentary. Where is Mr. Rubio
- 58:05still looking. Hold on. But you know the
- 58:08the Gulf States um and and Oman I told
- 58:12you about the um or a little bit about
- 58:15the the article that uh or the statement
- 58:17that they made saying it was not um
- 58:22uh they were not warned, knew nothing
- 58:25about it
- 58:27before they did it. And and truthfully,
- 58:29that's a bad deal. Why wouldn't they
- 58:32tell them? I mean, why not? Seriously,
- 58:35it uh it makes no sense to not tell
- 58:38them. And the the one reason to not tell
- 58:41them is because Israel didn't want them
- 58:46to know. That's how it is.
- 58:50And if because if you'd have told them,
- 58:52they'd have done something to try to
- 58:53stop it. That's what I believe. And I
- 58:56guess I'm not going to be able to share
- 58:58the Rubio quote. I wonder if I could
- 59:01find it separately. But there you have
- 59:03it. I have I have a thing about Israeli
- 59:05settlements that are going to spend the
- 59:08spell the end for Christians that want
- 59:11to visit the Holy Land. The America
- 59:13first folks, the Christians that want to
- 59:16visit the Holy Land. This is going to
- 59:17West Jerusalem is doing nothing to
- 59:21prevent violence against Christian
- 59:24communities in the West Bank.
- 59:27unabated settler violence,
- 59:29which is everywhere, along with Israel's
- 59:32continued settlement policy, taking
- 59:35other people's property and giving it to
- 59:38Israelis,
- 59:39will spell doom for the remaining
- 59:41Christian communities still located in
- 59:44the Holy Land, says Jason Jones, founder
- 59:47of the Vulnerable People Project.
- 59:51Israel has allegedly approved the
- 59:53demolition of thousands of homes in the
- 59:56West Bank that belong to Christian
- 1:00:00communities and is encroaching on the
- 1:00:02territory of some of the oldest
- 1:00:05Christian populations in the area
- 1:00:08particularly around Bethlehem as well as
- 1:00:11villages such as Ta Tbe says Jones. The
- 1:00:16settlement ofma located on the site of
- 1:00:19the former Israel military base just
- 1:00:22east of Bethlehem
- 1:00:25will be the settlement meaning the the
- 1:00:28settlement that the of Israelis settling
- 1:00:30it. This will be the end of the
- 1:00:31Christian community in the Holy Land.
- 1:00:34He's he's raising an alarm. It will be
- 1:00:37the end of the oldest Christian
- 1:00:39community in the world because
- 1:00:42settlement was legalized by West
- 1:00:44Jerusalem last year. Settlement, all you
- 1:00:47got to do is go in, you pick a property,
- 1:00:49you go over there and it's yours, you
- 1:00:52know, it's nobody else's. It's yours
- 1:00:54now. The end, you know, and off you go.
- 1:00:57And so we're authorizing this
- 1:00:58settlement. Go over there and and we'll
- 1:01:00build some new stuff. We'll bulldoze
- 1:01:02everything down and build some new crap
- 1:01:03for you. It's like President Trump said,
- 1:01:05"Well, gee, what what if we put up a
- 1:01:07real great Trump Tower here?" You know,
- 1:01:10wouldn't that be nice? Get rid of all
- 1:01:11these stone. Why would you want to live
- 1:01:13in these old stone structures anyway? Oh
- 1:01:15my god. Let's bulldoze all this and
- 1:01:17create a create a new uh a new Trump
- 1:01:20Tower, right? Uh the NGO founder, this
- 1:01:23is an NGO whose organization operates in
- 1:01:26the West Bank and other territories,
- 1:01:28warned that local Christian communities
- 1:01:30are also being attacked by settlers.
- 1:01:33There is direct physical violence. There
- 1:01:36is separating of the communities.
- 1:01:39Neither West Jerusalem nor Washington is
- 1:01:42willing to act and the US chooses to be
- 1:01:46on the side of the oppressor. Israel
- 1:01:49says Jones. Mike Huckabe the US
- 1:01:52ambassador to Israel is just ignoring
- 1:01:54the issues. According to Jones, Hus
- 1:01:57Huckabe, who is a former Baptist
- 1:01:59minister, was not man enough to rise to
- 1:02:03the occasion and speak the truth, said
- 1:02:06Jones. He has a full interview, um,
- 1:02:09which I was going to share part of it
- 1:02:11with you, and I might just his name, um,
- 1:02:15where's his name? Hold on.
- 1:02:18See what we got here.
- 1:02:21Disturbing reports are emerging out of
- 1:02:23the historic Christian village of Taibbe
- 1:02:25in the West Bank. Now, residents say
- 1:02:28settlers attacked their community while
- 1:02:31Israeli forces were present in the area.
- 1:02:33What really happened? And why are some
- 1:02:37prominent Christian voices acknowledging
- 1:02:39it while others say the reports are
- 1:02:42exaggerated or false? I'm Scottdale
- 1:02:45Hughes and this is America First.
- 1:02:58were present in the area during about
- 1:03:01the safety of ancient Christian went too
- 1:03:04far that have lived in that region for
- 1:03:06centuries now. Taibbe is one of the last
- 1:03:10remaining majority Christian Palestinian
- 1:03:12villages in the Holy Land. Its churches
- 1:03:15and traditions trace back generations.
- 1:03:18You got to see these videos.
- 1:03:20>> When they allow settlement, they let
- 1:03:22people go in there and they just beat
- 1:03:24people. They beat them out of the place.
- 1:03:26This is nonsense.
- 1:03:27>> Some journalists with the military stand
- 1:03:29around and watch as evidence of growing
- 1:03:32dangers for Christian communities that
- 1:03:34are in the region while others have
- 1:03:36dismissed the claims as misleading or
- 1:03:39even exaggerated.
- 1:03:41So, how do we actually separate the
- 1:03:43facts from the narratives from
- 1:03:45falsehoods? And
- 1:03:46>> yeah, all we get to do is listen to what
- 1:03:48the other bits. It's an interesting
- 1:03:50interview and if if you want to watch
- 1:03:51it, I'll uh I'll share the video on my
- 1:03:54um uh YouTube page so that you have it.
- 1:03:58Um where are we? Here
- 1:04:02it is. Uh I still have time to put this
- 1:04:05in here, don't I?
- 1:04:08So, I shared part of this with you the
- 1:04:11other day and I never got to finish it.
- 1:04:14And this was the article by Farhadi
- 1:04:17Brahimov the lecture at the fac facility
- 1:04:21of economics. He's in the faculty of
- 1:04:23economics department of political
- 1:04:25science um financial university of the
- 1:04:29Russian Federation
- 1:04:31and the story talks about how Ukraine
- 1:04:36became an enemy
- 1:04:38of Iran.
- 1:04:41So, allegedly these two are also on a uh
- 1:04:46collision course, right?
- 1:04:49Oh, jeez. Now, here's here's one of the
- 1:04:51TVs up here. And now we got Bill
- 1:04:53O'Reilly interviewing Lindsey Graham.
- 1:04:57Oh, they want to support anti-terror.
- 1:05:00Yeah, this is not anti-terror measures.
- 1:05:03This is slaughter.
- 1:05:08Nuts. Thrron has effectively
- 1:05:10acknowledged Ukraine is a legitimate
- 1:05:12military target. So the head of the Isra
- 1:05:16Iranian parliament national security
- 1:05:18made this statement in a post and the
- 1:05:20next day Iranian foreign ministry
- 1:05:23accused Ukraine's Zalinski of being
- 1:05:26involved in the conflict and in
- 1:05:27diplomatic terms this indicates that
- 1:05:30Tyran Thran el aligns Kiev's action with
- 1:05:34those of uh aggressors like US and
- 1:05:37Israel. So this suggests that bilateral
- 1:05:40relations between Ukraine and Iran are
- 1:05:43going to be more hostile. So Iran stance
- 1:05:47toward Ukraine has undergone a
- 1:05:50significant transformation over the
- 1:05:52years because of you know in the last
- 1:05:55few years Tran has ceased to regard Kin
- 1:05:57as Kiev as neutral or a peripheral
- 1:06:00player and has begun to see it as part
- 1:06:02of a hostile anti-Iran coalition
- 1:06:05associated with Western military block.
- 1:06:07In this context, the claim of
- 1:06:09recognizing Ukraine as legitimate
- 1:06:11military target, which they have, should
- 1:06:13be viewed not as a sudden political
- 1:06:15gesture, but as a culmination of
- 1:06:18systemic contradiction in bilateral
- 1:06:20relations. Ukraine has long been a
- 1:06:22source of irritation for Thran, and it
- 1:06:24was only a matter of time before these
- 1:06:26relations soured. Historically,
- 1:06:29relations between Iran and Ukraine have
- 1:06:32lacked depth or significance. They were
- 1:06:34limited and primarily revolved around
- 1:06:36economic interaction. But over the past
- 1:06:38decade, trade between Tehran and Kiev
- 1:06:40showed stability. However, the lack of
- 1:06:43solid mutual interest decreased
- 1:06:45political engagement. Trade volume is
- 1:06:47below 500 million a year despite growth
- 1:06:50potential. Tan showed greater interest
- 1:06:52in Ukraine in 2010 to 2014 when the
- 1:06:55country was ruled by the the proper
- 1:06:58president. It was President Victor
- 1:07:00Yanukovich. However, following the coup
- 1:07:03that western le we should do that dipl
- 1:07:06we should do that like they do uh uh
- 1:07:09Putin's war every you can't have just a
- 1:07:11war in Ukraine it's got to be Putin's
- 1:07:13unprovoked war in Ukraine that's what it
- 1:07:15is so we should call it uh you know
- 1:07:17Victor Yanukovich is gone so we should
- 1:07:20uh when we call it a coup you can't just
- 1:07:22call it a coup we should call it a US
- 1:07:24and westernbacked allies coup that
- 1:07:27removed President Victor Yanukovich you
- 1:07:29have to say the whole sentence that way
- 1:07:31when you report it every time people
- 1:07:33don't just hear the word coup which
- 1:07:34doesn't mean anything they hear who
- 1:07:37started it and why the US and uh uh US
- 1:07:40agency for international development and
- 1:07:43other underhanded people wanted to get
- 1:07:46rid of the pro-Russian Victor Yanuk not
- 1:07:50he he just wasn't anti-Russian
- 1:07:53Victor Yanukovich he was a middle-of the
- 1:07:56road guy he liked both the west and the
- 1:07:58east he didn't want to destroy
- 1:08:00everything. That's not good enough. If
- 1:08:02you're in the US, you have to go and
- 1:08:05back a coup with people like Lindsey
- 1:08:07Graham and the deep state. This is how
- 1:08:10they do it. And so they back this
- 1:08:13US-led, westernbacked and financed coup
- 1:08:16to get rid of President Yanukovic and
- 1:08:19his government. And then Ukraine, G,
- 1:08:21guess what they did? Made a sharp pivot
- 1:08:24toward the West and said, "Well, look at
- 1:08:26this. Just like just like Venezuela,
- 1:08:29when we go move their leader, the next
- 1:08:32leader is going to kiss the ass of
- 1:08:34America for a little while before the
- 1:08:37next president comes along. That's
- 1:08:38what's going to happen, right? Despite
- 1:08:41this, prior to the start of the Russian
- 1:08:42military, um, listen to this here.
- 1:08:46Here's Lindsey Graham. He's speaking
- 1:08:47right now. We will guarantee you spent
- 1:08:49fuel supply forever. He turned it all
- 1:08:51down. He He This is where he stretches
- 1:08:53this crap that just because you have
- 1:08:56enriched uranium says you got a nuclear
- 1:08:58weapon. Guy's a nut. I took the nuclear
- 1:09:01courses. I understand them probably
- 1:09:03better than he does. And you don't get a
- 1:09:05nuclear weapon just because you have
- 1:09:07enriched uranium. But that's what
- 1:09:09they're trying to sell them here.
- 1:09:11Nonsense.
- 1:09:13So it's just crap. And and and it
- 1:09:16doesn't mean they're not going to go get
- 1:09:17it. You know, it's not. And then he
- 1:09:19switches. Oh man, I could go on for that
- 1:09:21for days on that topic because it's all
- 1:09:25about same thing. More war, more war,
- 1:09:28more Israel, more let's steal the oil
- 1:09:31from whoever we got to steal it from
- 1:09:33because we're America. That's what we
- 1:09:34do. I disagree with that approach.
- 1:09:37Despite this, prior to the start of the
- 1:09:39Russian military operation in 2022,
- 1:09:41relations between Ukraine and Iran were
- 1:09:44mostly neutral. The absence of serious
- 1:09:46political contradiction allowed for
- 1:09:47minimal level of necessary diplomatic
- 1:09:50interaction. The turning point came in
- 1:09:52January 2020 when Iran shot down
- 1:09:56Ukrainian International Airlines flight
- 1:09:59752 after its departure from Iman Humeni
- 1:10:02International Airport. This tragic
- 1:10:04incident unfolded amid escalating
- 1:10:07tension between Iran and the US.
- 1:10:09Following the assassination of IRGC
- 1:10:12General Kasim Solommani
- 1:10:15and the US strike in Iraq and amid fears
- 1:10:18of a potential attack, Iranian air
- 1:10:21defense mistakenly identified the
- 1:10:23civilian aircraft as a threat which led
- 1:10:26to a catastrophic error. Despite Tran's
- 1:10:30swift acknowledgement of responsibility
- 1:10:32and subsequent apologies, the incident
- 1:10:34acted as a powerful catalyst for the
- 1:10:36deterioration of relations between Iran
- 1:10:39and Ukraine. No surprise there. K
- 1:10:42adopted a hardline stance, insisting on
- 1:10:45international investigations,
- 1:10:47compensations, legal accountability.
- 1:10:49That should be perceived anyway. This
- 1:10:51was perceived by Iran as a form of
- 1:10:53political pressure by Western nations.
- 1:10:56He wanted to have western nations come
- 1:10:58do it. Zalinski asked in such a way that
- 1:11:01left Thran little room to deal with him
- 1:11:04directly. Since 2020, the relations have
- 1:11:07steadily worsened and were exacerbated
- 1:11:10further by broader Pichia political
- 1:11:12shifts. After the the Russian uh
- 1:11:15military operation, Iran maintained a
- 1:11:18neutral position. This approach stem
- 1:11:20from Thran's desire to distance itself
- 1:11:23from a conflict in which it was not
- 1:11:25involved and to avoid escalation. In
- 1:11:28official statements, Iran emphasized the
- 1:11:30need for political and diplomatic
- 1:11:32resolution and urged both sides to
- 1:11:34engage in dialogue like many countries
- 1:11:38are that you know but they're not
- 1:11:40supplying targeting data in you know at
- 1:11:44the same time at the UN Iran voted
- 1:11:47against anti-Russian resolutions
- 1:11:49initiated by Western countries and Kiev
- 1:11:52tan refrained from making a direct
- 1:11:55anti-Russia statements and Kiev
- 1:11:57indirectly. If you don't, it's the exact
- 1:12:00same thing. If you don't condemn Russia,
- 1:12:03if you don't condemn Iran, if you just
- 1:12:06say it's not our dispute, that's not
- 1:12:08enough. If you don't, if you don't
- 1:12:11condemn them and lick the rear end of of
- 1:12:14Netanyahu and Zalinski, you are
- 1:12:18anti-Semitic and anti- Ukrainian crap.
- 1:12:22It's nonsense. That's why I'm sharing
- 1:12:24this article with you. With Iran, a
- 1:12:27significant portion of society and
- 1:12:29public opinion leaders view Russia's
- 1:12:33actions as a necessary response in the
- 1:12:36prevailing political military climate.
- 1:12:40The turning point in the summer of 2022
- 1:12:43when late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Kmeni
- 1:12:46placed the blame for escalating tensions
- 1:12:48squarely on NATO. By the way, that's
- 1:12:51where they belong. which the Iranian
- 1:12:53leadership saw as a destabilizing force
- 1:12:56in the entire region. Also true.
- 1:13:01Kmeni particularly noted that NATO's
- 1:13:04eastward expansion and increased
- 1:13:06military support for Ukraine created
- 1:13:08conditions under which Russia felt
- 1:13:10compelled to act. A what do they call
- 1:13:14it? a existential threat, which is
- 1:13:18exactly what Iran is claiming right now.
- 1:13:23It's an existential threat with Israel
- 1:13:27doing what they're continually doing.
- 1:13:30Iran's not going to capitulate, which
- 1:13:32means everybody has to escalate. Every
- 1:13:36time uh what is his name? um Netanyahu
- 1:13:40decides to bomb an oil field.
- 1:13:44That's the same thing that Iran does.
- 1:13:46They bomb another oil field. You know,
- 1:13:49you bring a gun, I you know, you bring a
- 1:13:51knife, I bring a gun, you bring gun. All
- 1:13:53that stuff we already went through,
- 1:13:54right? It's the exact same thing. Now,
- 1:13:57you blew up my largest airfield. All
- 1:13:58right. I'm going to take out two of
- 1:14:00yours.
- 1:14:02I'm going to take out all the shipping.
- 1:14:04I'm going to take the island of Cork.
- 1:14:05Well, guess what? I'm going to blow up
- 1:14:06the island of Kark because if I can't
- 1:14:08have it, neither can you. That this is
- 1:14:11where we're going. And the more most
- 1:14:13likely person and and think about this
- 1:14:16from the Iranian perspective, okay? And
- 1:14:18I'm not saying they're right. I don't
- 1:14:19care if they're right. I I don't care if
- 1:14:21Netanyahu is right. That doesn't enter
- 1:14:24into it. What enters into it is we
- 1:14:26shouldn't be there as the United States.
- 1:14:29It's BS for us to be there. Number one.
- 1:14:31And number two, the risk of a nuclear
- 1:14:35button being pushed because you keep one
- 1:14:39uping. It is far more since there are no
- 1:14:42nuclear weapons in Iran and it's an
- 1:14:45existential threat for Iran, which means
- 1:14:47they're never going to capitulate, which
- 1:14:50means that Israel will then be justified
- 1:14:53in taking whatever measures are
- 1:14:55necessary necessary. They already do
- 1:14:58that. They slaughter women and children.
- 1:15:00They don't care. They kill them because
- 1:15:03they're in the way. And you know, we've
- 1:15:05been fighting this war for 40, 50, 60,
- 1:15:08whatever years. 1948 was it? You add it
- 1:15:11up. We've been fighting this war. And if
- 1:15:13we don't kill them all,
- 1:15:16they'll just be back.
- 1:15:19There's the theory, right? And and
- 1:15:20that's okay if you're Israel because
- 1:15:23you've been fighting this war for a long
- 1:15:25time. It's not okay for the United
- 1:15:27States and we shouldn't be involved in
- 1:15:29it. Period. End of sentence, not end of
- 1:15:32show. Still got some more time to go
- 1:15:34here. Uh anyway,
- 1:15:37these statements made by Hmeni in 2022
- 1:15:42outlined Iran's position and pushed it
- 1:15:44beyond a stance of strict neutrality.
- 1:15:47That's not strict neutrality, which I'm
- 1:15:49not either. I believe that it's not a
- 1:15:52neutral thing. I believe that NATO
- 1:15:55intentionally pushed Russia, created
- 1:15:58Russia as an enemy just like they've
- 1:16:01done for uh Iran for the last 60 years,
- 1:16:06you know. So Iran Iran hates hates
- 1:16:09Americans. So if they're not coming to
- 1:16:12America, I give a crap, you know. It
- 1:16:14means I can't go to Iran. And frankly, I
- 1:16:17want to I want to see some of those
- 1:16:19Persian sites that have been around for
- 1:16:212500 3,500 years. When I went over to
- 1:16:24the Silk Road in um uh Usbekistsan in
- 1:16:28Kazakhstan and those, it was freaking
- 1:16:30amazing. They have mosques that were
- 1:16:33built, you know, 2,000 years ago. I
- 1:16:36mean, it's fantastic to go see this
- 1:16:39culture. I am anti-war.
- 1:16:43Where the hell is diplomacy? I thought
- 1:16:46Donald Trump was the negotiator and the
- 1:16:48deal guy. He's not the negotiator and
- 1:16:50the deal guy now. He's the big swinging
- 1:16:53dick and he's got uh um you know Heg
- 1:16:57Seth on the end of it.
- 1:17:00It's nonsense. Sorry that was crude. I
- 1:17:02shouldn't say stuff like that. But
- 1:17:03that's it's exactly what we have here is
- 1:17:06nonsense. We're we're fighting in a
- 1:17:08place, another place where we don't need
- 1:17:11to be. The next Iraq, the next Syria,
- 1:17:13the next Afghanistan, now Iran. The end.
- 1:17:17Now we're pissing off all the Gulf
- 1:17:19States, too. So all these uh creations
- 1:17:22of uh
- 1:17:24you know, Net and Yahoo saying, "Oh, I
- 1:17:27could like I could lead Donald Trump.
- 1:17:29Donald Trump's going to be okay, fine."
- 1:17:30But I believe that he's he's been
- 1:17:36I don't want to say lied to, but things
- 1:17:38have been stretched. If you have to go
- 1:17:40around and advertise by Lindsey Graham
- 1:17:43that they're just steps away from a
- 1:17:45nuclear bomb, that is crap. The IAEA was
- 1:17:49in there all of last year and said
- 1:17:51that's not the case. There are plenty of
- 1:17:55documents that say that's not the case,
- 1:17:57but we're out here lying. And what is
- 1:18:00this for regime change? Is this because
- 1:18:02they had nuclear weapons? Is this
- 1:18:04because Israel attacked and it looks
- 1:18:05like we have a good uh shot at jumping
- 1:18:08in and taking out people we've hated for
- 1:18:10years and killing all their women and
- 1:18:12children and uh uh you know that way we
- 1:18:14can get rid of several generations. All
- 1:18:1692 million. All it takes a nuclear
- 1:18:18weapon, right? All it takes is Netanyahu
- 1:18:21pushing a button. His problems are
- 1:18:23solved, right?
- 1:18:26This is nonsense. this escalation crap.
- 1:18:30Despite the Biden administration
- 1:18:32offering to revive a nuclear deal if
- 1:18:34Iran cut ties with Russia or China, Iran
- 1:18:37refused to negotiate with ultimatums,
- 1:18:41especially given the deepseated
- 1:18:44mistrust of America. And again, that's a
- 1:18:49theme that I constantly say. You can't
- 1:18:52trust them because four years later they
- 1:18:55change horses and those horses change
- 1:18:59everything. Treaties, they don't matter.
- 1:19:02UN UN charter, that doesn't matter
- 1:19:05either. Not if you're America, you don't
- 1:19:07have to follow those rules. And I'm not
- 1:19:09anti-American. I just believe in rules.
- 1:19:12And the the rules, we don't follow them.
- 1:19:15We try to force them on other people,
- 1:19:16but we don't follow them. Iran has
- 1:19:19joined both the Shanghai Cooperation
- 1:19:22Organization and BRICS. They're members.
- 1:19:24Now, those aren't defensive at all.
- 1:19:27Those are economic. And uh uh so Ukraine
- 1:19:30repeatedly resorted to diplomatic
- 1:19:33protests. They summon the Iranian
- 1:19:36ambassador into the Ministry of Foreign
- 1:19:38Affairs of their country all the time.
- 1:19:40Bilateral relations are marked by
- 1:19:43uncertainty and the nature of
- 1:19:44interaction are increasingly hostile.
- 1:19:47Essentially, Iran and Ukraine relations
- 1:19:50entered a phase of rapid decline driven
- 1:19:52by differing interpretation of the cause
- 1:19:55and nature of the very conflict.
- 1:19:58You either believe Zalinski that oh gee,
- 1:20:02there we were one day and nothing was
- 1:20:04going on and we weren't bombing anybody.
- 1:20:07There we were just simple Ukrainian
- 1:20:09farmers trying to do what we do every
- 1:20:11day and just be Ukrainian, just trying
- 1:20:14to live. And along came the big bad
- 1:20:16Russian bear and ran in and did
- 1:20:17something that there was no referendum.
- 1:20:21Nobody heard that word before. Nobody's
- 1:20:23even acknowledged that there was eight
- 1:20:26years where they were bombing the crap
- 1:20:28out of Dawnbass from Ukraine and killing
- 1:20:31ethnic Russians. Nobody paid any
- 1:20:34attention to it. None. And it was being
- 1:20:36built up as a huge problem all the way
- 1:20:38down the line. But nobody listened to
- 1:20:40it. And anybody that was around in 2022
- 1:20:44in February knows that the initial thing
- 1:20:46that we heard in America, those of us
- 1:20:49who didn't knew better obviously knew
- 1:20:51that wasn't the case. But the the only
- 1:20:53thing that Americans were being told was
- 1:20:55here comes big bad Russia ran into those
- 1:20:58poor Ukrainians. We need to send money
- 1:21:00and weapons to the Ukrainians. And
- 1:21:02that's exactly what we did. And more
- 1:21:04than half of the population had no idea
- 1:21:08where Ukraine is or how to find it on a
- 1:21:10map. They just heard Russian bad guys.
- 1:21:12They've always been the bad guys. And so
- 1:21:14therefore, let's send money and and
- 1:21:16let's let's wave a Ukrainian flag in the
- 1:21:19front yard.
- 1:21:21Same crap we're told all the time about
- 1:21:23Israel. There's not a bat. They can do
- 1:21:25no wrong. None. And therefore, Iran's an
- 1:21:30evil empire. Oh, really?
- 1:21:32How come they've been around 2500 years
- 1:21:35if they've been just nothing but evil?
- 1:21:38They have a culture and a history that
- 1:21:40is different than ours. But if you don't
- 1:21:42understand culture and history and the
- 1:21:45and and what is going on, they're
- 1:21:46extremists on both sides. An extremist
- 1:21:50from Israel is just as bad as an
- 1:21:52extremist from a uh Muslim country,
- 1:21:56including Iran.
- 1:21:58They're they're the same cloth. And
- 1:22:02Netanyahu
- 1:22:03is a killer just like Kmeni was. If you
- 1:22:08believe all the Kani things and I and I
- 1:22:11believe most of it. I believe that there
- 1:22:12were death to this, death to that,
- 1:22:14chanting this, chanting that. Well, what
- 1:22:17are they doing in Israel? Same damn
- 1:22:19thing. Kill them all. Let God sort it
- 1:22:21out. Just like American special forces.
- 1:22:26An additional factor contributing to the
- 1:22:28deterioration of relations between uh
- 1:22:32Iran and Ukraine was the claim made by
- 1:22:36the west and Ukraine that Iran is
- 1:22:39supplying Russia with Shahed drones.
- 1:22:43This was picked up by the media and was
- 1:22:45pressed everywhere to say that Iran is
- 1:22:48providing all these drones to America.
- 1:22:51We need to sanction Iran more for the
- 1:22:53drones and for all of that. Right? This
- 1:22:55was picked up by the media and is one of
- 1:22:57the key tools to pressure Thran. Iranian
- 1:23:01and Russian officials deny these things.
- 1:23:04They had the the Shahed drone. I forget
- 1:23:07what they renamed it, but Russia took
- 1:23:09they don't buy them from Iran. They
- 1:23:12create them based on the Iranian model.
- 1:23:16That's what they do. So, you say it's a
- 1:23:18Shahed drone, but it's not. The Russians
- 1:23:20call it something else and have rebuilt
- 1:23:21it. And if anything, Iran's been buying
- 1:23:24Russian drones of the reverse because
- 1:23:26Russia took them, took the model,
- 1:23:29upgraded it, rebuilt them, repurposed
- 1:23:31them, made them better, and used them in
- 1:23:34the in the war in Ukraine. And that
- 1:23:36means that Iran is now suddenly the
- 1:23:39enemy, right? And and they've been using
- 1:23:41that as well because anytime you can
- 1:23:44take a dig at Iran, you do. That's how
- 1:23:47it works. And uh these bilateral
- 1:23:50relations
- 1:23:51have been in rapid decline driven by
- 1:23:54different opinions caused by the nature
- 1:23:55of the conflict um in in these
- 1:23:58deterioration relations.
- 1:24:02Now we're talking about potential
- 1:24:04retaliation,
- 1:24:06right?
- 1:24:08the the open endorsement of US sanctions
- 1:24:11against Iran by Ukrainians saying yeah
- 1:24:15sanction Iran along with other
- 1:24:17demonstrative support for US uh
- 1:24:19President Trump's anti-Iran policies
- 1:24:22were seen as attempts to al by tan as an
- 1:24:25attempt to align a broader strategy to
- 1:24:27pressure Iran.
- 1:24:30All of this led to Iran becoming
- 1:24:33increasingly concerned that Ukraine
- 1:24:35might provide Israel not just with
- 1:24:37political but military technical
- 1:24:39support. And now Iran or uh Ukraine is
- 1:24:43offering exactly that. Iran drew
- 1:24:47particular attention to K's statement
- 1:24:49about its readiness to assist Arab
- 1:24:51nations in creating counter drone
- 1:24:54threats. Iran interprets this as
- 1:24:58anti-Iran as they should and all of
- 1:25:01these have led to the increasing
- 1:25:02perception of Ukraine as a hostile actor
- 1:25:06to Iran. Should Iran confirm Ukraine's
- 1:25:10direct involvement in actions? Ready?
- 1:25:13All these factors have led to this
- 1:25:15perception. The situation reached a
- 1:25:17climax when Iranian politicians,
- 1:25:21particularly Ibrahim Aziz, stated that
- 1:25:23to Tran no longer views Ukraine as
- 1:25:26neutral. Azizi, a former prominent
- 1:25:28military general and respected figure in
- 1:25:31the IRGC, holds a key position in the
- 1:25:34parliament and wields significant
- 1:25:35authority in the political hierarchy of
- 1:25:38Iran. His words have particular meaning
- 1:25:41is what that means. And as the head of
- 1:25:43Iran parliament's national security
- 1:25:46commission, he articulates sentiments
- 1:25:49and per parliamentary speaker Muhammad
- 1:25:52Bagger Galab or I'm sorry, Galibaf
- 1:25:55cannot openly express. Many Iranian
- 1:25:57lawmakers have advocated for severing
- 1:25:59ties with Ukraine until another
- 1:26:02administration comes to power that might
- 1:26:04be willing to normalize relations.
- 1:26:07Should Iran confirm this involvement,
- 1:26:10Thran would swiftly resort to a full
- 1:26:12range of retaliatory measures. In such a
- 1:26:16scenario, Iran would activate an
- 1:26:18extensive arsenal of strategies from
- 1:26:20military technical responses uh to
- 1:26:23others. This strategy is deeply rooted
- 1:26:25in the logic of Iranian foreign policy.
- 1:26:27Thrron's shift toward a harsher rhetoric
- 1:26:30about Ukraine specifically is a logical
- 1:26:34culmination of accumulated
- 1:26:35contradictions. Given the ongoing US
- 1:26:38aggression against Iran, it seems
- 1:26:41increasingly likely that Thrron will
- 1:26:43adopt an even tougher stance on Ukraine,
- 1:26:46particularly if Kiev maintains its
- 1:26:48current course of action means supplying
- 1:26:51anti- drones and all that other stuff.
- 1:26:53So, this is escalating. This is not
- 1:26:56going away. Friends and neighbors, I I
- 1:26:58tell you what, I I do not like this war.
- 1:27:01I um do not like that we're involved in
- 1:27:05this uh in this BS. And I really do feel
- 1:27:08I saw something on the on the TV a
- 1:27:11little while ago from Net and Yahoo uh
- 1:27:13was on Fox earlier talking about um uh
- 1:27:19you know the war in Iran of course and
- 1:27:21saying that you know we're not we're not
- 1:27:25leading the US in this garden path. No,
- 1:27:27no, no. You think Donald Trump is going
- 1:27:30to uh listen to us? Well, he is. And
- 1:27:36he's in there because of you. Because
- 1:27:38you have been pushing, you personally
- 1:27:41have been pushing war with Iran for 20
- 1:27:43freaking years, as have
- 1:27:46anybody many, many, many, many, many
- 1:27:48others, including Lindsey Graham.
- 1:27:50They're all on the talk circuits.
- 1:27:52They're all whipping stuff up to create
- 1:27:55another forever war that we have nothing
- 1:27:58to do with, nor should we. So, I'm
- 1:28:01against it. I'm very glad you stuck in
- 1:28:03today and listened to me. And I realized
- 1:28:05that uh this is not the proper time
- 1:28:07slot. Tomorrow morning
- 1:28:1020th of uh March, we'll be doing Civic
- 1:28:15Outlaws. Got a a re remake. We we've got
