Speaker 3: All right, good morning, welcome to Breaking Points back here

16
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 3: on the land of the Free.

17
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: It's going to say Ryan is back from Cuba and

18
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 4: we have a whole block prepared. We're going to go

19
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 4: through some of the pictures and reporting that Ryan pictures truck,

20
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 4: but also reporting Ryan did in an interview actually with

21
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 4: what the top the third top official in Cuba with

22
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 4: a big scoop yes and so.

23
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: And what you guys don't know is that back before

24
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: the Internet and Instagram, when people would come back from

25
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: a trips overseas, they would invite all their neighbors over

26
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 3: to literally watch, Yes, the kind of slideshould they put

27
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: up on the wall of their house or something.

28
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 5: I still do that for my parents.

29
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what you guys are going to have

30
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: to suffer through today.

31
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 5: There you go.

32
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: But it's actually it's not going to be suffering through.

33
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 4: It's it's super interesting. And Ryan was on news Max

34
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: last night, got into a fun tussle with the host.

35
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 4: So we're going to break that down more immediately though.

36
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 4: New updates, actually recent updates from both US negotiators and

37
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 4: Iranian negotiators towards a potential ceasefire piece deal over there.

38
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: We are going to break all of that down, and

39
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 4: there's a lot to get to. Donald Trump was making

40
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 4: remarks in the Oval office yesterday saying, oh.

41
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 5: Kinds of crazy stuff. Did you watch this presser?

42
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 6: I watched a lot of it. It was Trump in

43
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 6: normal form.

44
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 5: And hag seth, hag seth. Oh, my god, keeping we're

45
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 5: on the throttle and.

46
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: Trump giving him the eyebrow rays when he's talking about

47
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: the hard throttle. Yeah, Trump still Michael Scott, that's what

48
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: she said, as like his warst secretary is talking basically

49
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: so kind of amused and confused by hegseeth, but love

50
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: kind of loves him.

51
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're right. It's a sort of I think

52
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 4: it was similar with Christy nom until it wasn't. It

53
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 4: can happen quickly.

54
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: If Trump wasn't bringing so much death, destruction and despair

55
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 3: to the world, we could just sit back and kind

56
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: of laugh at his antics. And he really another thing

57
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: I hate him for is depriving us of that joy

58
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: because you can't. It's with what he's doing, you can't

59
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: even laugh at him. And it's like that was the

60
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: best thing about him, is just how funny he is.

61
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 5: Now we're at war with wrong and just yeah.

62
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: And like just trying to striangle Cuba and doing it's like,

63
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 3: come on, well, we also get back to the jokes.

64
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 4: And not optimistic that will happen anytime soon. We also

65
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 4: have updates from Lebanon, where we're looking at some significant,

66
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 4: significant incursions from Israel.

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 5: New updates for.

68
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 6: What the New York Times get hammered for calling it.

69
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 5: What did they say?

70
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: New York Times said something like Israel may decide to

71
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: continue to control some of the territory that it has grabbed. Yes,

72
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: evading and occupying Lebanon is the word you're looking at.

73
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 5: They should have just went with Trump. I believe I'll

74
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 5: have the honor of taking it, taking.

75
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 6: Lebanon, which does not have a right to exist.

76
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: Yes, we should have just went with that. Apparently from

77
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: the New York Times. Lots lots of stuff on Cuba,

78
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: because that's moving very quickly. Ryan, you can tell us

79
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 4: more about this.

80
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 5: But this is what the.

81
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: Government calls Operation Total Extermination. That's the Pentagon title or

82
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: Western Hemisphere.

83
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 3: That's not great when you're in the Western Hemisphere and

84
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: you find out that the operation directed it you was called.

85
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 5: Say it again, total Extermination.

86
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 6: That's not good.

87
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 5: No, not great.

88
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: But Ryan is going to tell us what's really happening

89
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 4: on the ground and what we could see happening very soon. Democrats,

90
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: I mean, we have new Gavin Newsom footage here. Democrats

91
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: are squirming over a pack. Some are sort of that

92
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: we could use that as an intro for every show,

93
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 4: but some are apparently leaning into saying I'm not taking

94
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 4: any money from a pack, as though it's a badge

95
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: of honor. But we'll see how what that actually means

96
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: at the end of the day. Whose money they will

97
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: and will not take. But there's some new clips Gavin Newsom,

98
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: Corey Booker. This is him saying, we don't have a

99
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 4: clip of this, but he said he's not taking a

100
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: PAC money. So lots to get to on that front.

101
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 4: And Ryan's the guy for it because he's been reporting

102
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: on this for years.

103
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: This Indeed, Unfortunately I didn't. It's not even the thing

104
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 3: I wanted to report on. I was just reporting on

105
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: like progressive campaigns, and all of a sudden there's one

106
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars from this outside group in these campaigns.

107
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 6: Like I thought this was about like where you are

108
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 6: on the Green New Deal.

109
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 5: No, no, it never was. All right.

110
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: Also, AI blackouts possibly coming in the future, not possibly

111
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: probably coming in the future. New reporting on college graduate

112
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: it's the plight of college graduates this spring. Many of

113
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: you are probably experiencing that right now, and I'm sure

114
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: you'll let us know in the comments.

115
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 5: It's bad, it's bleak.

116
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 4: And Jensen Waning says we've reached agi new clip of

117
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 4: him on Lex Friedman. Finally, Ryan, we have a guest

118
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 4: to go through some horrible economic updates, looking really rough.

119
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: Christopher Robb, Yes, he's a state legislator in Pennsylvania. Recently

120
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: after we booked him, was endorsed by Justice Democrats. Maybe

121
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: they knew we were booking him. Like, let's get in

122
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: before he's on. I guess the Breaking Points bump.

123
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 7: Yep.

124
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: He's running for an open congressional seat which would represent

125
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: you know, most of most of Philadelphia.

126
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 6: So we'll talk it.

127
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: We'll talk to him about, you know, the state of

128
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: the national and Pennsylvania economy and how that's playing into

129
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: the race.

130
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,839

Speaker 3: and require one party to respond to the exactly Iran,

161
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: who this day has still not responded to the US.

162
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of WhatsApp being used for these communications.

163
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: If you use WhatsApp, you know you get those two

164
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: little blue checks if it's been received and you're just like, okay,

165
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: they got it, Like are they going.

166
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 6: To respond here?

167
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 3: And so whitkob has been left on these two blue

168
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: checks for like more than a more than a week.

169
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: Now now he has just sent he's like it, and

170
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: he just sends like an entire ceasefire proposal that Iran

171
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: has not formally responded to yet.

172
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 4: Although the Wall Street Journal has a story about Iran's response.

173
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, let's get into the So the reporting from

174
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: It's important to understand that the reporting first emerged out

175
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: of Israel and from Israeli media. And I was talking

176
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: to my colleague Jeremy Scalhe this morning. He was saying

177
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: that we should take the specifics with a grain of salt,

178
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: according to his sources in Tehran. But it is, it

179
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: is indeed true, and actually we can just we can

180
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: put up with Jeremy Jeremy's post here. It is, it

181
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: is indeed true that the US has sent has sent

182
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: an offer sheet basically for a thirty day ceasefire. Iran

183
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: is reviewing it. Iran is extraordinarily skeptical of the seriousness

184
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: of the United States because twice they have entered into

185
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: negotiations and killed the negotiators and then launched wars with Iran.

186
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: They killed Hamas negotiators after delivering a peace deal to

187
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: Hamas like this, The Trump Peace deal.

188
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 6: They met to discuss it.

189
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're like, yeah, so until they're they're reviewing it,

190
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: and there's been no formal response yet according to Jeremy sources,

191
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: and until then, the retaliatory strikes will continue.

192
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 6: The war is on until it's off.

193
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: Like there's no there's no pausing on the assumption that

194
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 3: this is that this is serious. But it's still worth

195
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: us going through the terms, just just to understand that

196
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 3: some of the details are probably shaded a little bit

197
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: that that were released out of Israeli media.

198
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, so let's put them up on the screen. Screen.

199
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 5: This is a zero, the fifteen.

200
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: You want to go through these since you have better eyes.

201
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 4: I remember my glasses, although I don't always. This is

202
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 4: from as Ryan said, Israeli media. This is really channel

203
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: twelve being cited. One fifteen clauses here. One automatically cancel

204
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: the threat of reimposition of sanctions.

205
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: Which incredible, by the way, let's just that's opening bid

206
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 3: from the US.

207
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,119
Speaker 5: I had to think about that one twice.

208
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: Like lifting Iran gets its sanctions lifted, like incredible, Okay,

209
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: that's yeah.

210
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 4: Two dismantling Iran's existing nuclear capability.

211
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 6: They already agreed to that in February.

212
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 5: Three agreement with Iran.

213
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 4: Iran vows never seek nuclear weapons, agreed to that in February,

214
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: preventing the enrichment of any nuclear material on Iranian territory.

215
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: That is probably a miss uh, misreporting or misinformation from

216
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: from Israel. I would suspect that the details are not

217
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: that tight.

218
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, interesting sticking point.

219
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 6: There would be a total prevention.

220
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: Five delivery of enriched uranium to the IAEA.

221
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 3: Iran basically agreed to some version of that. They even

222
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: agreed to allow US companies to operate the Iranian program

223
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: in February. So just because Iran, by the way, agreed

224
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: to this in these things in February, doesn't mean they will.

225
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: Now they're in a better position than they were ironically

226
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: in February.

227
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: Anyway, go ahead delivery. Oh I just did that one.

228
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 4: Sex decommissioning and destroying the sites of Natan's Isfahan and

229
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 4: Foordah seven.

230
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 3: That's probably that's probably a little bit not exactly how

231
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: it reads.

232
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's an interesting one too, because we basically

233
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 4: have claimed to destroy tons.

234
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 5: That was midnight hammer.

235
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 6: Yeah check.

236
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,239
Speaker 4: Grant thee a full access to all information Iran abandons

237
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 4: proxies approach.

238
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 6: Well, that's interesting.

239
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: Maybe this is the kind of thing Iron agrees to

240
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: and then just doesn't live up to, which is a

241
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: very Israeli slash Middle East thing to do.

242
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: Sometimes, stopping funding and arming militias in the region so

243
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 4: similar keeping the straight of horm moves open without any closure.

244
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't. I don't think they're going to open

245
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 6: as long as you pay them.

246
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 4: I was going to say they've learned postponent of decision

247
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: on ballistic missile program.

248
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 6: You know the words cool, Yeah, get off our jock

249
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 6: about the missiles.

250
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 4: A few more here. Ballistic missiles are only used for defense.

251
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 3: Acording to them, that's all that they're used for. And

252
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: actually they have never as far as I'm aware of,

253
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 3: and correct me if I'm wrong out there in the comments.

254
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 6: Have I don't.

255
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: I'm not aware of them ever launching a ballistic missile

256
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: strike against any country that where they weren't hit first.

257
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 5: Lifting all sanctions on Iran.

258
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 6: Incredible, Yeah from the US.

259
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is again, this is the summary.

260
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 3: This is a real like blow to the like the

261
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: Trump is winning the war crowd. We're gonna lift all

262
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: sanctions in order to end this war.

263
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 6: But we're definitely winning it.

264
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 4: And we're gonna tell you to destroy the sites that

265
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 4: we said we basically destroyed, all right, last one or

266
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 4: two more support for the development of a civilian nuclear

267
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 4: program automatically canceled the threat.

268
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 6: They agreed to that basically in February, the US refused it.

269
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 4: The last one is just automatically canceled the threat of

270
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 4: reimposition of sanctions.

271
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 6: Same thing as number one.

272
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: Like, so you're promising multiple times that you won't sanction them.

273
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 5: Right in different ways.

274
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 4: Let's then Ryan talk about the story that broke overnight

275
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 4: from the Wall Street Journal, and again this is pretty new.

276
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 4: According to the Politico summary, their peace proposal demands include quote,

277
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 4: the closure of all American bases in the Gulf, the

278
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: payment of reparations for missile attacks on Iran, plus the

279
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: lifting of all existing sanctions. They want to collect fees

280
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 4: for ships transitting the Strait of Horn. Moves to the point,

281
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 4: you just made an end to Israeli attacks on has

282
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 4: Belah and permission to start its missile building program without limit. Ryan,

283
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 4: The question, though, is how legitimate is this Wall Street

284
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: Journal summary of the Iranian peace proposal?

285
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 6: According to Jeremy's sources. This is they have not formally.

286
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 4: Responded, so it got leaked to the journal, or someone

287
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 4: is manipulating the journal with a fake peaceposal.

288
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: The journals sources in general tend to be on the

289
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: American and Israeli side, and so typically throughout this conflict,

290
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: if your sources have been on the American and Israeli side,

291
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 3: you are more likely to get incorrect information. There may

292
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: be some kind of informal back and forth that's happening,

293
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: and that the US or Israel gleaned from that back

294
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: and forth that this is what they want. I can

295
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: say for sure that Iran's position is that it is

296
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: a very high priority of THEIRS that the US bases

297
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: be dismantled in the region, and they have said from

298
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: day one that they want reparations like I don't think

299
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: people and people might laugh at that. We know that

300
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 3: it is a horrific war crime that we started the

301
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: war by killing at least one hundred and sixty five

302
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: little girls. We know that intellectually, and a lot of

303
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: us kind of feel it in our bones. It happened

304
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: to Iranian girls like it is that much more real

305
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: to the Iranians. They're getting pummeled in a way that Israel,

306
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 3: the UEE, Kuwait, etc. Are not even getting pumbled. Like

307
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: they're getting hit really ruthlessly.

308
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 6: You saw the.

309
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: Images of the black smoke that could cause cancer among

310
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: the Tehran population for decades. They feel like they've been wronged,

311
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: that they did not start the war. They've been pummeled,

312
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: and they deserve reparations for this. Whether they actually get

313
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: that and what form that takes, we'll see. But I'm

314
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: just my point here, and they're serious, like they feel,

315
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: we did not do anything to you to deserve this.

316
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: You did this, You're now losing pay us.

317
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 4: Let's listen to the Commander in Chief, Donald Trump in

318
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: the Oval Office at This was the swearing in for

319
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 4: Mark Wayne Mullin at DHS yesterday.

320
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 5: Hit a couple of interesting moments.

321
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 8: A one because they're going to make a deal. They're

322
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 8: going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that

323
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 8: was amazing. Actually, they gave us a present and the

324
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 8: president arrived today. It was a very big present worth

325
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 8: a tremendous amount of money. And I'm not going to

326
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 8: tell you what that president is, but it was a

327
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 8: very significant prize and they gave it to us, and

328
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 8: they said they were going to give it, so that

329
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 8: meant one thing to me, would deal with the right people. No,

330
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 8: it wasn't nuclear. It was oil and gas related, and

331
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 8: it was a very nice thing they did. But what

332
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 8: it showed me is that we're dealing with the right people.

333
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: There's a couple more clips that we're just gonna well,

334
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: we got to speculate first about what it was. Well,

335
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: Menaker said it was a large wooden horse possible. My

336
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: sources say that Trump got an email from somebody who

337
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: said that they were the Iatola's nephew and that he

338
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: had access to trillions of dollars reserves, but he needed

339
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: just a few thousand dollars in bitcoin to unlock those reserves.

340
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 6: And they're going back and forth right now.

341
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 3: Trump accidentally is now apparently locked out of his devices.

342
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 6: I'm trying to.

343
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: Figure out because once they can get those trillion dollars

344
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: in reserves, it's going to be smooth sailing, is going

345
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: to give checks to every American.

346
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 6: It's going to be incredible.

347
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 4: Did you see the moment in Bill Clinton's Epstein deposition

348
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 4: where he was asked about sending emails?

349
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 5: Oh no, oh, I'm going to send it to you.

350
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 4: It's amazing, he boomer maxes. I think that's probably where

351
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: Trump is on emailing too. You got to text it

352
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 4: to him and probably like really big font. But he continued,

353
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 4: He continued, we learned about his plans for an electric

354
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 4: plant a too.

355
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 8: You know, if you read the papers, you think we're tied,

356
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 8: you think we're in a tough battle. We are roaming

357
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 8: free over Tehran, the city Terhen is opposed to Iran.

358
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 7: We're roaming free. We can do whatever we want.

359
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 8: And as you know today, we were going to have

360
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 8: the privilege of shooting down a very big electric generation plant,

361
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 8: one of the biggest in the world, and one shot

362
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 8: to the right location ends the plant that collapses. And

363
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 8: we held off based on the fact that we're negotiating

364
00:17:59,320 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 8: so much.

365
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: To him, pack Tehran not Iran. I like sometimes how

366
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 4: he gives insight into how his brain works. You see Tehran,

367
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 4: you think Iran, but no, it's a city.

368
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 5: Tehran love to be.

369
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 6: The first time he learned that the capital of Iran

370
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 6: was Tehran, Yes, it blew his mind.

371
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 5: It's clever now also.

372
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 6: And then there's Esfahan.

373
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 5: One of his.

374
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: Criticisms of Barack Obama and many people on the rights

375
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 4: is they were often telegraphing plans, military plans. Here Trump

376
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 4: freelancing at a DHS swearing in ceremony in the Oval Office,

377
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 4: says today we're gonna have the privilege of shooting down

378
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 4: a very big electric generation plant ostensibly before it happened Ryan, except.

379
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: He didn't end up doing that because Iran threatened to

380
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: escalate if he did that, and he backed down.

381
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 4: So is it a taco or is it him negotiating?

382
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 4: Like actual question, because I think this is one thing

383
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 4: that people get wrong about Trump is that it's sometimes

384
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 4: called a taco, and it's like, I see where you

385
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 4: think it's called a taco. And he takes a lot

386
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 4: of l's on these things, rightfully. So other times he's

387
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 4: clearly just negotiating in public and wants to set the

388
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 4: parameters in a certain direction.

389
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 3: Taco in this case implies that he was going to

390
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: do something and then he chickened out.

391
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 6: Right, I'm not convinced that's true.

392
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: I think that was market manipulation beginning to end, that

393
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 3: the front end threat was market manipulation and the back

394
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 3: end fake chickening out was more market manipulation and if

395
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: anybody's watching, By the way, there is a lot to

396
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 3: subpoena in twenty twenty seven when when Democrats are probably

397
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 3: going to take the House, they show subpoena power. So

398
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 3: we should like we need to like write down all

399
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 3: the things we want to know because we're going to

400
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: forget because there's so many things. So we need like

401
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven subpoenas dot org or something like that,

402
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: and put on the list. Who are these investors, these

403
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: these no stra damas.

404
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 6: Like ough traders. I'd love to know who went in and.

405
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 3: Bought made the perfect oil trade right before you know

406
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 3: he came out with his we're actually in fake negotiations

407
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: with Iran and who bought all of these s and

408
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: P futures like, because there's there are a couple of

409
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 3: traders that are making these massive trades that are perfectly

410
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: timed with Trump's fake moves the Monday was so we

411
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 3: need to put it on the subpoenal list for twenty.

412
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: Absolutely put it on the subpoenal list for twenty twenty seven.

413
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 4: Speaking of our negotiations, here's Secretary of War Pete Haig Seth.

414
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 9: A three the air campaign that we've conducted that Israel's

415
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 9: conducted alongside us was one for the history books, truly,

416
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 9: And it's because we have a president of the United States

417
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 9: that when he sends his war fighters out to fight,

418
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 9: he unties their hands.

419
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 5: To actually go out and close with and destroy.

420
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 9: The enemy as viciously as possible from moment one.

421
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 5: And that's why we.

422
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 9: See ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We

423
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 9: negotiate with bomb You have a choice. As we loiter

424
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 9: over the top of Tehran, as the President talked about

425
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 9: about your future, President has made it clear that you

426
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 9: will not have a nuclear weapon.

427
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 5: The War Department agrees.

428
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 9: Our job is to ensure that, and so we're keeping

429
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 9: our hand on that throttle as long as hard as

430
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 9: is necessary to ensure the interest of the United States

431
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 9: of America are achieved on that battlefield.

432
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 4: We negotiate with bombs as we are also negotiating apparently

433
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 4: peace plan, point by point by point.

434
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 3: And if you have a second and you're like a

435
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: juvenile like roll back and watch Trump's eyebrow raise.

436
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 5: It's pretty good.

437
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 3: Also, if you are the guy that started the war

438
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 3: killing one hundred and sixty five plus little girls, would

439
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: you really keep celebrating how Trump untied your hands, like

440
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 3: he keeps talking about how there were all of these

441
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: stupid political rules of engagement that kept the US from

442
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 3: waging war the way that Pete Hags thinks that we

443
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: should wage war, and the first chance he gets to

444
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 3: put those rules into place, he double taps in elementary school.

445
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 4: Well, I mean he would probably say successful Venezuela operation

446
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 4: civilian harm mitigated.

447
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: All right, the first time he gets, the first time

448
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 3: he has a war against an actual.

449
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 5: War a Middle Eastern country.

450
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a raid that who knows you know

451
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 3: what what happened politically behind that?

452
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, truly we don't know.

453
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 6: Yeah. So, yes, he did not double tap an elementary

454
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 6: school in Venezuela. I will give him that there.

455
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 4: It is, yes, a very high bar for our war department.

456
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: Here's Donald Trump talking about maybe the right word for

457
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 4: this is cavalierly talking about a launch of missiles at

458
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 4: a US aircraft carrier.

459
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 7: Next up with our great Patriot missiles. Think of it.

460
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 8: They shot one hundred missiles at one of our aircraft carriers.

461
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 7: He Abraham Lincoln, one of.

462
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 8: The biggest ships in the world actually, and of one

463
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 8: hundred and one missiles shot. Every single one of them

464
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 8: was knocked down in the sea. Think of that, Think

465
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 8: of what that means. One hundred and one missiles, highly sophisticated,

466
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 8: very fast missile shot at of one.

467
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 7: Hundred and one.

468
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 8: All one hundred and one was shot down, and now

469
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 8: for the most part lie at the bottom.

470
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 7: Of the sea. Pretty amazing, right, pretty amazing. Our military

471
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 7: is amazing, Pete.

472
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 8: You know the attack I'm talking about recently, one hundred

473
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 8: and one shot. I said, wow, I saw that. You

474
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 8: can see we have sort of pretty good equipment that

475
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 8: we see. It's called the red line. Those red lines

476
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 8: were thick, right, I said, that's a lot. And then

477
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 8: we saw him, one by one just get shot.

478
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 7: And these guys that do the shooting and the coolest

479
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 7: cucumbers ever.

480
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 8: You know, most people, you don't have a lot of

481
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 8: time when a missile's going at twenty five hundred miles

482
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 8: an hour.

483
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 4: He also just did the Shane Gillis but there Ryan

484
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: where Gillis's Trump impersonation. He explains by saying, I walked

485
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 4: into a room, I said, wow, what a beautiful He

486
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 4: literally just did that in the middle of a conversation

487
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 4: about war.

488
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is the kind of information that the

489
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: Department of War keeps under a.

490
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 6: Very tight lid.

491
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 3: They do not let the public in on the amount

492
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 3: of volleys, you know, sent at the Lincoln Carrier group,

493
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 3: the fact that they had to expand their up Patriot missiles.

494
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 3: They've they have other missile defenses on ships.

495
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 6: But whatever, I.

496
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: Get details wrong too, me and Trump, it's fine, but

497
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 3: for him to reveal that is very interesting.

498
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 6: We did not know that. And now people are speculating, oh,

499
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 6: that that.

500
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 3: Might explain why we're seeing the Lincoln Carrier Group kind

501
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 3: of shading further and further away from Iran, which makes

502
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 3: it more more difficult for US to project power back.

503
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 6: And so if okay, great, good good.

504
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: I'm glad for the sailors that they shot down the

505
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 3: one hundred and one missiles, but it shows how vulnerable

506
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: the carrier.

507
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 5: Group is and how scary the situation is.

508
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, and.

509
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: In a way that the US is not used to,

510
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 3: Like the US and Israel are used to just flying

511
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: over Gaza, dropping whatever bombs they want and then just landing,

512
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: no no stress at all. Nobody's shooting back at them.

513
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 3: We're now getting We're now getting shot at and we

514
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 3: are kind of retreating in significant ways. The Ford carrier group,

515
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 3: they're like cooked, they're done it like supposed somebody didn't

516
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 3: clean the lint drawer and the and there was a

517
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: big fire in the dryer area. And now that now

518
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 3: that whole carrier group is out of commission for a

519
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 3: trillion dollars a year. We can't keep our carrier groups

520
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 3: close to Iran, even it's amazing.

521
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, let's put up the next element.

522
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 4: This is a five sentcom told Stars and Stripes yesterday

523
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 4: that a total of two hundred and ninety service members

524
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 4: have been wounded so far in Operation Epic Fury. The

525
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: majority of those two hundred and fifty five have returned

526
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 4: to duty. The number of seriously injured remains ten. We

527
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 4: also then should go to the next element from Barack Ravid,

528
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 4: who reported yesterday a senior US official tells me the

529
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 4: eighty second Airborne Division Headquarters has received an order from

530
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 4: the Pentagon to deploy to the Middle East along with

531
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 4: several infantry brigades of thousands of soldiers. Raved says, why

532
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 4: it matters, this is a significant additional reinforcement to the

533
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 4: US four structure in the region ahead of a possible

534
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 4: ground operation in Iran.

535
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 5: Ryan. When you look at the.

536
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 4: News, this is the escalation spiral in action that you

537
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 4: go back ten years from now, ten months from now

538
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 4: and do an autopsy. We'll see the military analysts go

539
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 4: back ten months around autopsy what just transpired or was

540
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 4: transpiring at the moment, and they'll say, these are the precipitating,

541
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 4: precipitating factors of escalation. We're watching it happen.

542
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I can confirm that.

543
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: We heard the same yesterday that the eighty second Airborne

544
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 3: is being dispatched from Fort Bragg. They there are I'm

545
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 3: sure all sorts of plans being drawn up for Delta

546
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: Force and these special operations types. The Carg Island, which

547
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: is this island that the Trump keeps getting pushed to seize,

548
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: and you know, as it plays a very crucial role

549
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 3: in Iran's oil production and shipping, is constantly kind of

550
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 3: on the on the target list. And there was this

551
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: incredible I think it was in the paragraph from the

552
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 3: Watching Post that said, you know, Defense Department officials are

553
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: you know, game planning out what it would take, and

554
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 3: they believe that they could seize Carg Island.

555
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 6: Probably true.

556
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 3: They we have like the most like special ops and

557
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 3: don forced guys and all hopped up on as Seth

558
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 3: Harvest written the best drugs that they can ship into

559
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 3: our country.

560
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 6: So they could take it.

561
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 3: And then but then they had a line that said

562
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 3: they would for as long as they're there, they would

563
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 3: have to, you know, fend off a relentless volley of

564
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: drones and missiles.

565
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 6: It's like, yeah, yes, like in perpetuity, that's right.

566
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 3: Like guys, So you're gonna put a whole bunch of

567
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: guys on an island right next to Iran, which part

568
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 3: of Iran? And what are they going to do about

569
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,239
Speaker 3: the missiles and drones raining down on them? Like what

570
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 3: do you how are you going to fend those off?

571
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 3: You can be the baddest special operator on the planet.

572
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 3: You can't just get rained on by drones and missiles

573
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: in perpetuity.

574
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 4: You need to get resupplied constantly. Like that's again it's

575
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 4: escalation spiral.

576
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: You have to not get blown up, which is hard

577
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 3: when you're getting missiles rained on you constantly. So it's

578
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: just it's not a thing that you can do unless

579
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 3: unless you completely like just vaporize Iran. Like as long

580
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 3: as iron exists and can fire off drones. Yeah right,

581
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 3: those then those troops can't hold carg Island.

582
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple poles to get to here. This one

583
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 4: is actually people started.

584
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 5: Picking up of it.

585
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 6: I feel about this well.

586
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 4: People started picking up on this one yesterday. It was

587
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 4: actually a u gov poll that was done in mid February.

588
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 4: We can put the next element up on the screen.

589
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 4: This was just looking at a real news article pulled

590
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 4: out by Adam Johnson who said a new yu gov

591
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 4: poll shows twenty five percent of Americans falsely believe Iran

592
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: possesses nuclear weapons and forty five percent believe the also

593
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 4: false claim Iran has an active nuclear weapons program. And

594
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 4: I went back and followed the poll. It was taken

595
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 4: in mid February. I'm sure you would get very very

596
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 4: similar results if you conducted it today.

597
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, though, even with that, so just keep that in

598
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 5: your brain. Let's go to the next pole. A eight.

599
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 5: This is genuinely a new pole.

600
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 4: CBS News take in March seventeenth through twentieth, ninety two

601
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 4: percent of Americans want to end the conflict as quickly

602
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 4: as possible. Eighty percent say they want to make sure

603
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 4: Iran's people are safe and free. Seventy three percent say

604
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 4: permanently stop Aron's nuclear programs, sixty eight percent say stop

605
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 4: Iran from threatening other countries predictable results, but ninety two

606
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 4: percent saying end the conflict as quickly as possible.

607
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 5: Run.

608
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 6: Yeah.

609
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 3: I remember in our poll there were some interesting kind

610
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 3: of contradictory thoughts. You know, people desperately wanted the war

611
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 3: to end. So I find that to be a very

612
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 3: credible number people. Also in our poll we asked about

613
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: the ballistic missile program. They overwhelmingly American people do not

614
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 3: want Iran to have a ballistic missile program. I'd like

615
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: I'd like to try to square some of that that

616
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 3: for people like Okay, well, what are you willing to do,

617
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: Like how much war are you willing to engage in?

618
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 6: Do you want to engage in to.

619
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 3: Make sure or like just as a yeah, should this

620
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: country that we believe is scary have a blistic missile program?

621
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: I can imagine of course, like most Americans be like no,

622
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: why would we want a dangerous country to have dangerous weapons?

623
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: But then it's like, well, okay, the only way we're

624
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 3: gonna stop them from that is forever war.

625
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 4: So I want to stop on this point, just briefly,

626
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,719
Speaker 4: because it's been driving me insane. We remember when Diego

627
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 4: Garcia was hit or was fired. They fired at Daego

628
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 4: Garcia several days ago. There were people all over X

629
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 4: from the right taking dubs, being like, you're telling me

630
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 4: Iron doesn't pose a quote imminent threat. Look at what

631
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 4: they just did. Their missile range is double what we

632
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 4: thought it was. If you go and look at the

633
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 4: countries that have full ice we're not even talking about

634
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. If you look at just ICBMs, how many

635
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 4: countries can cover the entire globe with their missiles. Do

636
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: we think that we should be going to war with

637
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 4: North Korea? Because if you're using your justification that this

638
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 4: is an anti American death cult and it needs to

639
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: be taken care of because they have a ballistic missiles

640
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 4: program that can hit much of Europe, and it's true

641
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 4: they do. That's absolutely accurate. North Korea's is bigger. North

642
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 4: Korea's range is bigger than irons. So if that is

643
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 4: your justification, now I'm not saying it's everybody's only justification,

644
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 4: but the glibness that was being projected after the Diego

645
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 4: Garcia incident was mind boggling because it's a justification to

646
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 4: go to war with other countries, but particularly with North Korea.

647
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 4: And if you want to put that idea in Donald

648
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 4: Trump's head and have America first. Donald Trump, then after

649
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 4: he finds some type of piece, he's already said that

650
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 4: we won the war, go on and say we're gonna

651
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 4: win a warrior with North Korea.

652
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 5: Enjoy that.

653
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, now they've got nuclear tips on those ICBMs, which

654
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: also plays plays into how we're like, you know what

655
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: we're gonna pick on.

656
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 6: We're gonna go pick on Cuba. I think actually Cuba

657
00:32:58,960 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 6: is the problem.

658
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, total extermination. That's the name of the operation. We'll

659
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 4: get to that in just a moment. Ryan Pakistan getting

660
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 4: increasingly involved in this particular conflict. Go ahead, throw the

661
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 4: next element up on screen. This is Pakistan's Prime Minister

662
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 4: saying this just yesterday. Pakistan welcomes some fully supports ongoing

663
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 4: efforts to pursue dialogue to end the war in the

664
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 4: Middle East and the interest of peace and stability in

665
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 4: the region beyond subject of concurrence by the US and Iran.

666
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 4: Pakistan stands ready and honored to be the host facilitate

667
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 4: meaningful and conclusive talks for comprehensive settlement of the ongoing conflict.

668
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 4: We roughly already knew that, Ryan, but can you, maybe,

669
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 4: since you've covered Pakistan pretty closely in the last several years,

670
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 4: explain to us the significance.

671
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: According to our reporting, Wikoff has been there in Islamabad

672
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: for two days.

673
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 6: They weren't returning his text messages.

674
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 3: So he's like, maybe if I go to Islamabad, they'll

675
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: just meet me at the bar. They haven't yet, And

676
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 3: so Pakistan is trying to become the you know, the

677
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 3: new Oman. Here, the Iranians are quite skeptical of moving

678
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 3: the moving the brokering from Oman over to Pakistan. Pakistan,

679
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: Pakistani generals are and the Pakistani military in general are

680
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 3: are known like internationally as in a world of untrustworthy people,

681
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 3: like the least trustworthy people. So if you were trying

682
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 3: to pick some pick a trusted intermediary to negotiate these

683
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 3: talks with, and with an adversary who is already not

684
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 3: trustworthy because they have gone to war with you twice

685
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 3: in the middle of negotiations Pakistan doesn't raise your confidence

686
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: level that this is on the up and up. So well,

687
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 3: we'll see if Iran is like whatever, fine, whit coffs

688
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 3: already there, Sombad's beautiful this time of year. Pakistan apparently

689
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 3: is almost out of lng like the this and I

690
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 3: think the Arab Spring and other pro like. There was

691
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 3: this wave of protests in the early twenty tens around

692
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: the world. A significant and misunderstood or under understood role

693
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 3: in those protests was the spiking of energy and commodity

694
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 3: costs that flew out of the Great Financial Crisis of

695
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: two thousand and seven and eight. And because it made

696
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,919
Speaker 3: bread and feel very expensive for people around the world,

697
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 3: and they went out to the streets. I think I

698
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 3: think we're going to see a lot of that in

699
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 3: the next couple of years. And Pakistan is a place

700
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 3: you could very easily see it, like this place that's

701
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 3: like always just kind of on on the brink, getting

702
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 3: pushed getting pushed over it. So anyway, yeah, so we'll

703
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 3: say if that, maybe maybe they'll allow Pakistan to be

704
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 3: the place.

705
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 4: Let's talk about a rock. This is Drop Site Reporting

706
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 4: and Bag Clears PMF. So the Popular Mobilization Forces to

707
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 4: defend themselves after a deadly strike on militia headquarters. This

708
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 4: decision you all wrote follows airstrikes on a PMF command headquarters.

709
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 3: So let's put up a fifteen for the context. Sorry

710
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 3: to jump around.

711
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 5: Yea shore rooms an on Bar province.

712
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so a fifteen. Yeah, so this was yesterday

713
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: or two day. This is Monday. Air strikes in Iraq

714
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 3: on Iran backed paramilitary alliance kill at least fifteen fighters.

715
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 3: So this is the US is basically an open war

716
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 3: with these Iranian allied Iraqi militias. But these militias are

717
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 3: not just freelance militias. They are a part of the

718
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: security service, the actual government security service. We can go

719
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: back to a tens as Emily was saying, the Iraqs

720
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: National Security councils. As Emily said, like, they're now authorizing

721
00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 3: these military these militias.

722
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 6: Like US forces.

723
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 3: So that's state sanctioning of Iraqi aggression, not aggression. They

724
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: would call it defense because they were just fifteen of

725
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 3: them were just killed. It was always disproportionate, and when

726
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 3: you look at the numbers of people killed and wounded

727
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 3: on the other side versus US. But yeah, so the

728
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 3: green zone was completely evacuated. We need Iraqi airspace. We

729
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: invaded Iraq and spent trillions of dollars to like control it.

730
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 6: I didn't even think I knew this. Moz was telling me.

731
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: All of the oil proceeds from Iraq live in the

732
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 3: New York Federal Reserve, and we just send them pallets

733
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 3: of cash basically if we approve their budget, total colonial

734
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 3: structure there. Yet, despite that, they're shooting at us.

735
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, despite all of the American troops that died over

736
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 4: the years, they're shooting at us. And now speak you

737
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: know which task and purpose. A eleven is reporting that

738
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 4: the Army's enlistment age has been raised to forty two.

739
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 4: They also eased marijuana restrictions, So that's huge.

740
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 6: How are you going to find somebody that's going to

741
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 6: pass that test? Yeah?

742
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 4: Now, I will say people are just like, does it

743
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 4: sound like Ukraine a little bit? I will say the

744
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 4: age limit for recruits being bumped from thirty five to

745
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 4: forty two in twenty twenty six, that actually might be

746
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 4: long overdue, just given how much healthier people are able

747
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 4: to stay into their forties. I don't know if it's

748
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 4: related to a recruitment crisis because of this ongoing war.

749
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 5: May well be, we'll learn more about it.

750
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 4: But it also like people are staying much more healthy

751
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 4: into their their forties.

752
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 5: Things, so all kinds of different things.

753
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 6: Manosphere, keeping people fit. That's service.

754
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 5: Yep, that's right, it's all. It's all the bros.

755
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 6: And let's do it.

756
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 3: Let's jump to eight thirteen real quick, because that relates

757
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 3: to this Iraq conflict, the raq Us conflict.

758
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 6: It's a VO, so you can just roll A thirteen.

759
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 3: This is an FPV first person you know, view drone

760
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 3: that is attacking Camp Victory, which is the US base

761
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 3: right off of the Bagdad Airport. And what's what's unique

762
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 3: about this one is that it identifies this like extremely

763
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 3: expensive radar attacks, it destroys it and then keeps going.

764
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 3: So hits that or I guess gets footage of. It's

765
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 3: like there's I guess there's two of them, and one

766
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 3: of them gets footage and then then they go They're like,

767
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: all right, what else should we blow up while we're here?

768
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 3: This is mostly evacuated base, and so there they find

769
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 3: a helicopter and boom there goes like an extremely expensive helicopter.

770
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 6: Noticed that they blurred that out.

771
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 3: Apparently what they blurred out is the they I guess

772
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: they maybe they realized in post production. They had blown

773
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 3: up a medical evac helicopter, which is less cool for them.

774
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 3: You know, they're still happy to destroy any you know,

775
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 3: military hardware that we have, but I think they would

776
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 3: prefer get to get one of those like helicopter gunships.

777
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: And then probably somebody was as they're like editing, like

778
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 3: oh shoot, I think this is an evac medical evac helicopter.

779
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 3: But either way, the point is the Iraqis are just

780
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 3: making mince meat of our hardware that we've that we've

781
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: left behind because there was a ceasefire that was agreed

782
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 3: to with the militias so that we could evacuate these

783
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: bases of personnel. And then right at right, I don't

784
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 3: even know if we announced that we were ending the ceasefire.

785
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: That's when we bombed these officials in in our province.

786
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 3: Classic US is like.

787
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 6: Oh ceasefire, did we say ceasefire?

788
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 3: We meant you cease fire at us so that we

789
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 3: can leave the base and then we kill you.

790
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 6: And so that's that.

791
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 3: I think duplicity contributed to the broader Iraqi government saying

792
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 3: you know what, go ahead, you want to you want

793
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 3: to hit these these creeps, hit them.

794
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 5: Let's let's wrap on this news.

795
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 4: This is going to be a fourteen senior House Democrats

796
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 4: telling Axios that they are on war powers resolution is

797
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 4: set to pass. Quote most if not all, of the

798
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 4: four defectors are expected to flip and vote for the

799
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 4: measure this time because they were quote subject to intense

800
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 4: criticism from the party's grass roots.

801
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 5: What do you make of that?

802
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 8: So?

803
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 3: I think that means that Breaking Points viewers have basically

804
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: bullied these these Democrats who are pro war into supporting

805
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 3: this war powers resolution. And the way you know that

806
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 3: it very likely has the votes to pass in the

807
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 3: House is that Jeffreys and Gregory Meeks are now saying that.

808
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 6: They want to postpone it.

809
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: And as I've been reporting from the very beginning, Democrats

810
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: secretly like this war because they think it hurts Trump

811
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 3: and they think, you know, it helps their ideological project

812
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 3: of helping Israel and degrading Iran. Like a lot of

813
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 3: Democrats support that ideological and imperial project, and all Democrats

814
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 3: want Trump hurt. This is obviously hurting Trump. And so

815
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 3: now that the House is on the precipice of a

816
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 3: historic war powers resolution vote that looks like it would

817
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 3: now pass on the floor and put real restrictions on Trump. Now,

818
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 3: what the Senate does and whether Trump abides by it

819
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 3: is a different question, But having the House go on

820
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 3: record against the war would be a consequential act.

821
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 6: So now that we're on the.

822
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 3: Cusp of that happening, Meeks and Jefferies are like, you

823
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: know what, maybe we'll pause this and come back in

824
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 3: like mid April and put it on the floor in

825
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 3: like three weeks because there's a recess coming up. So

826
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 3: Meeks has basically today and tomorrow to man up and

827
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 3: put this thing on the floor. Otherwise, otherwise you have

828
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 3: no choice but to believe what I've been telling you

829
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 3: that Democrats secretly want this war to continue. And what

830
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 3: does that mean. That means not only do they find

831
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: with the Iranian, Iraqi, Kurdish, like all Israeli, all the

832
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 3: people who are dying as a result of it, all

833
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 3: of the pain that you're suffering and will suffer economically

834
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: as a result of it. Now, in the weeks ahead,

835
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 3: months ahead, and years ahead, Democrats.

836
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 6: Are okay with that because they might pick up an

837
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 6: extra couple seats in the midterms. What are they going

838
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 6: to do with those seats?

839
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 5: Nothing to go to war?

840
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were already taking the house. Probably.

841
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 4: I like the Massy idea of introducing a declaration of

842
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 4: war and seeing exactly who's going to vote for it.

843
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 4: I would love that to happen. That would be like kryptonite.

844
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 4: That would be the worst post. Don't think that would pass. Yeah,

845
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 4: and let's move on to Lebanon, Ryan, because new developments

846
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 4: we can start rolling.

847
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 5: B one.

848
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 4: This is footage from tire and Man. We're looking at

849
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 4: civilian neighborhoods here. If you're listening to this, you're just

850
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 4: seeing smoke rise from what does clearly.

851
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 6: Appear to be five thousand year old city.

852
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does clearly appear to be a civilian neighborhood

853
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 4: right in the middle of what just looks like houses

854
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 4: and office buildings and the like.

855
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 5: Well, what we learned.

856
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 4: Yesterday B two is that Israel's defense minister said the

857
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 4: military will occupy southern Lebanon up to the Tawny River,

858
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 4: marking the first clear statement of intent to seize the territory.

859
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 4: Reuters reported Ryan, what is that? I mean, what are

860
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 4: we looking at here? As the Iran operation continues, Lebanon

861
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 4: being in the shadow of that, I suppose Israel feels

862
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 4: as though it's the time is ripe to move in.

863
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 3: Well, quote unquote, Greater Israel has always included, at a

864
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 3: bare minimum, all of this Lebanese land up to the

865
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 3: Latani River, and for many, you know, much beyond that

866
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 3: as well. It is you know, it's just preposterous, Like

867
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 3: it's twenty twenty six, like the world has kind of moved.

868
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 3: We thought beyond this kind of thing where you just

869
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: you take what you can. We are constantly told Israel

870
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 3: has a right to exist. Don't you believe Israel has

871
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 3: a right to exist? Does Lebanon have a right to exist?

872
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 3: Does it like Syria have a right to exist? Like,

873
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 3: it's not just that Israel, like every other country, has

874
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 3: a right to exist. Israel, unique among all other countries,

875
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 3: has a right to exist, and the rest of your

876
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 3: existence is negotiable based on Israeli impulses. Now, the problem

877
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 3: when you put up B three here, the problem for

878
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 3: Israel's is the people don't.

879
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 6: Want them there.

880
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 3: It's the Lebanese are still resisting them. So there's this

881
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 3: quote that was circulating, how can we as Christians in

882
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 3: this area not be with hisbela?

883
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, this was from the Telegraph.

884
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 4: I had this Telegraph had an article that was actually

885
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 4: titled Christians and Hesbela unite against quote Epstein Empire and

886
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 4: southern Lebanon is mostly Shia territory, right, Ryan.

887
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 6: Epstein Empire. That's even better than Epstein class.

888
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 4: Well, they're taking straight from Iran, the Epstein Empire, Epstein class,

889
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 4: Epstein propaganda. Although this one is sort of a gimme, yeah,

890
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 4: sort of a give me as far as propaganda goes.

891
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 4: But Christians and I mean, well, actually, I'm sure it's

892
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 4: true of a lot of Muslims in Lebanon as well.

893
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 4: There's previously this tension, or not previously, but kind of

894
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 4: always the simmering tension where even if you're Shia Lebanese Christian,

895
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 4: you have a little like there's friction with Hesbela among

896
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 4: a lot of Lebanese who say you're being controlled by Iran,

897
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 4: you're a puppet of Iran.

898
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 5: Well, guess what happens when.

899
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 4: These attacks start ractioning up, You once again risk driving

900
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 4: people closer to Hesbolah. And I guess as an effect

901
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 4: of that, closer to Iran, to the extent that Hesbela

902
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 4: and Iran are connected.

903
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so far the Israelis have found Southern Israel

904
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 3: a little bit more difficult to take. So sorry, Southern Lebanon,

905
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 3: Northern Israel, as they would like to see it a

906
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 3: little more difficult to take than they thought, you know,

907
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 3: they thought that they had completely annihilated Hesbelah.

908
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 6: It's one more blow to their.

909
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 3: Their strategic appro coach that suggests that they're they're just

910
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 3: one round of bombing and one round of assassinations away from,

911
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 3: you know, the paradise of peace in which in which

912
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 3: they are able to just seize other countries territory and

913
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 3: just keep it indefinitely. Turns out people are pretty pretty

914
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 3: attached to there, to the land that they've been living

915
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 3: on for many thousands of years, and so that that's

916
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 3: going to be a that's gonna be a problem for

917
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 3: them because they've so far not been able to dislodge as.

918
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 4: Blow and Ryan, there's this Haretz report that we want

919
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 4: to talk about as well, before the starvation case. So

920
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 4: the headline from Heratz is Palestinian minor who died in

921
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 4: Israeli prison was quote likely starved, but the case was closed.

922
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 5: This just happened.

923
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 3: Yesterday, Yeah, and I want to highlight this because Jasper

924
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 3: Nathaniel had had written about this boy who was in

925
00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 3: prison in detention, not charge arged with anything. And his

926
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 3: roommate was the American child who Jasper had been reporting

927
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 3: on relentlessly to get him, to get him and eventually

928
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 3: got him released.

929
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 6: He was accused of throwing stones.

930
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 3: If you remember that kid's case, and that kid is

931
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 3: That kid is now free. But he told Jasper the

932
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 3: story of his roommate who was in horrific condition and

933
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 3: died in prison without ever being charged or any explanation

934
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 3: of why he was even in prison. And now now

935
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 3: this judge has said that that likely is what happened.

936
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 3: And reading what reading what happened to this boy in prison,

937
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 3: I think we shouldn't let his We shouldn't let his

938
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:54,760
Speaker 3: life pass without recognition of it. So Muhammed was Muhammed

939
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 3: Imberheim was. He was the sixteen year old American that

940
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 3: was with him. We can put this next element up

941
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 3: on the screen, this seventeen year old Walid Ahmad, who

942
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 3: was his kind of cell mate. And so he writes

943
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 3: here one of his salmates, seventeen year old Walid Ahmad,

944
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 3: whom he quickly grew close to, was visibly sicker and

945
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 3: weaker than the others. When Muhammad arrived Skin and Bones.

946
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 3: Muhammad told me he had severe diarrhea, couldn't keep food down,

947
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 3: and shivered constantly. His skin was covered in scabies, which

948
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 3: was ripping through the prison, leaving all the boys infested

949
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 3: and scratching themselves raw. The boys, worried about Walid, begged

950
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,720
Speaker 3: the guards to let him see a doctor.

951
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 6: They refused.

952
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 3: On March twenty second, twelve days after Muhammad arrived at

953
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 3: the prison, Walid collapsed during their daily trip outside the cell,

954
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 3: falling face first and splitting open the bridge of his nose.

955
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 3: A pool of blood formed around him. The boys rushed

956
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 3: to help and were pepper sprayed.

957
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 6: Boys went to.

958
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 3: Help this boy who'd fallen on his face and were

959
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 3: pepper sprayed, which means Walid, with whatever consciousness he still

960
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 3: had left, was also pepper sprayed.

961
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 6: He goes on a pool of blood formed around him. Sorry,

962
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 6: Mohammed said.

963
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 3: Whalleid remained conscious for about two minutes, looking around scared,

964
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 3: before losing consciousness again. A guard then arrived and Dragulead's motionless,

965
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 3: bodily body across the floor by his hair. So this

966
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 3: is they saw a seventeen year old child smash his

967
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 3: face on the pavement due to malnutrition that they were

968
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 3: forcing on him. Pepper sprayed him and then dragged him

969
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 3: away by his hair, and then so Jasper goes on,

970
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 3: if we can put the next one up. Four days later,

971
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 3: the boys learned that w Lead, who was never charged

972
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 3: with a crime, was dead. Back home, this is in

973
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 3: the US, Mohammad's family heard that a teenage boy had

974
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 3: died in Meguido and spent an entire unbearable day trying

975
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 3: to determine whether it was him. Instead, they learned it

976
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 3: was a boy from a neighboring town. An Israeli surgeon

977
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 3: who observed while leads autopsy reported that the seventeen year

978
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 3: old showed signs of prolonged starvation, extreme weight loss, and

979
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 3: muscle wasting, along with untreated colitis and scabies. A prison

980
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 3: medical report also revealed that he had complained to the

981
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 3: prison about inadequate food. Since at least December. His body

982
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 3: has still not been returned to his family. That's from

983
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 3: Jasper Nathaniel Substack a while ago. The news now in

984
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 3: Haretz is that a judge is basically confirming all of this,

985
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 3: that this is all accurate and according to Haretz, Israel

986
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 3: is still keeping the body. Remember that Israel kept bombing

987
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 3: Gaza and had refused to move to the next phase

988
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 3: of the ceasefire because there was one remain of an

989
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 3: idea of soldier that they had not been able to find,

990
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 3: and that Hamas said they weren't looking for because Amasa

991
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 3: is like, we think he's over there, you control that area.

992
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 3: They went weeks without even looking for it because they

993
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 3: didn't want that body back, because.

994
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 6: They wanted to continue the attacks. But the point is.

995
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 3: The priority that they placed on getting those remains back,

996
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 3: setting aside all of the depravity that the reason from

997
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 3: beginning to end here they still won't even give his

998
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 3: body back.

999
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 5: And the case was closed and the judge.

1000
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 3: Says, we don't have enough evidence here. Likely looks like

1001
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 3: he was starved to death, but the autopsy is not

1002
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 3: definitive enough, so we're going to close the case.

1003
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 4: I mean, it's we covered, what was it just last week?

1004
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 4: The rape case that was there also wasn't enough evidence.

1005
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 4: There was CCTV footage that was you know, you watched that.

1006
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 4: You pretty much know what's going on there, and a

1007
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,399
Speaker 4: medical examination yea.

1008
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 3: And before we departed this segment I did want that

1009
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 3: you can put up. I did want to just pay

1010
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 3: pay our respects to Assam schabat drop site, our dropsite

1011
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 3: colleague who one year ago yesterday was assassinated by the Israelis.

1012
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 3: I remember we were actually on the show together around

1013
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 3: the time he was killed, and when I left the

1014
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 3: studio getting getting the news that he'd been he'd been killed.

1015
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 3: They targeted him, they put his put his picture up,

1016
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 3: they said they were going to kill him. They hunted him,

1017
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 3: They flew a drone over top of him, dropped a

1018
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 3: explosive device on him, split his body apart. Yeah, he

1019
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 3: had his whole life ahead of him. Extremely talented journalists.

1020
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 3: We collected his stories onto one page that you can

1021
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 3: go check over it over at drop site. So I

1022
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 3: didn't want that, didn't want his anniversary of his assassination

1023
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 3: to go without without remarking on that
