Speaker 2: milk protein powder infused with the Buffalo Dry Rub, which

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: also coats the rim of the glass.

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 3: I gotta say, when we stationed a reporter permanently at

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 3: Buffalo Wild Wings headquarters, a lot of people said, why

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: not somewhere in one of the many war zones in

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: the world, you know, why not in Washington, DC in

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: the press corps. And I shouted that person down until

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: they cried. And today today I've been proven right.

19
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: We will be doing a detailed report on the Espresso

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: proteiny next week. Anxiously awaiting the release of it this weekend.

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not touching that shit.

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm excited that they have finally decided to put

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: muscle milk powder in an espresso martini.

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 4: It's one of the fouls. Every word in this sentence

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 4: gets worse.

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 5: The dry rub, I think, is much more dangerous.

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: Frankly, it's the dry ram muscle milk cup bo You're

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: gonna be sneezing if you drink it.

29
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: Imagine if someone had just come out with spicy packs

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 3: of muscle milk, like pre mixed muscle milk that.

32
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 4: Was on spice. I'd be shocked with that didn't already exist.

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 4: To be honest, I mean it could. It'll kill you,

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: It'll kill your toilet.

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: What is beautiful to me though? And what I should

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: note this this goes back to our sponsor's buffalo wild

37
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: wings caring very deeply about human beings. Muscle milk is

38
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: in the bottom third of protein powders when it comes

39
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: to lead exposure, and that's still more lead than you're

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: supposed to have. The bottom third.

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 5: It's one of the better ones.

42
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: It's one of the better ones.

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: You Other small news items, Erica Kirk has been appointed

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: to the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors.

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: Obviously, Erica Air Force makes sense.

46
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk also served on this board, and Ben Shapiro's

47
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: eyebrows are not actually that big. Those videos are manipulated media.

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: I saw those and I knew they were fake and

49
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: chose not to prove to myself that they were fake

50
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: because I needed something that day. But I guess I'm

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: okay today.

52
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 4: I haven't seen these. Oh wow, now I've just seen

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: these for the first time. Wow, it's like a caterpillar

54
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 4: has crawled up there.

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: The beauty of how the meme worked is that I

56
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 3: saw it for the first time right after waking up,

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: and I was like, well, that's got to be fake.

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 3: And then I saw five more pictures of different pictures

59
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 3: with the eyebrows, and so I got this beautiful moment

60
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: and it was It wasn't more than about a minute,

61
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: but this moment of magic, like when you're a child

62
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 3: on Christmas morning, like this might be real. Maybe this

63
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: is real.

64
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 5: It's one of them.

65
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: It's one of the more useful uses for AI, AI

66
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: generated or AI altered videos.

67
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: It's turned me around.

68
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: You can apply like the you know, these these very

69
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: subtle changes to a lot of different videos fairly quickly.

70
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: So it's not just one you know, photoshopped or like,

71
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: you know, visual effects video, but there's like five, you know,

72
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: handheld cell phone videos that look pretty genuine and if

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: you just make enough of them, you're like, oh, this this,

74
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: this seems this seems real.

75
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean, Garrison, you're bringing up the part

76
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: of this that actually is evidence of a danger. But

77
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: let's all just enjoy this for just a second more. Okay,

78
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: we're done.

79
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: Hundreds of people have returned to a free after having

80
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 4: been removed nine years ago, in some cases by Turkey's

81
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: proxy forces and s and a many of them will

82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: have returned to find their orchids and their homes destroyed,

83
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: but at least now they can and begin to rebuild.

84
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: For an idea of how important Aphrene was, Like, one

85
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: of the most common nom de guerres that I came

86
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: across when talking to YPG and YPJ fighters was haval Lafreine,

87
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: Like it's a name that you pick because you're not

88
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: going to use your real name as a revolutionary fighter.

89
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: And a lot of people, some of them came from

90
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: a Frien, some of them was just a symbol of

91
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: you know what the Kurds had lost due to Turkish

92
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: military aggression. Yeah, but this is a very big deal

93
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: for them.

94
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, I know, I've been critical of STG,

95
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 4: but like I'm glad to see this happening.

96
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

97
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 4: Also in Syria, Sipan Himo has been appointed as a

98
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 4: Deputy Minister of Defense for Eastern Syria, which would be

99
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: I guess the way they're dividing up now would be

100
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: the area which include Syrian Kurdistan. And we just learned

101
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: today very sadly that Salah Muslim, who's one of the

102
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: co chairs of the PYD, the Democratic Union Party, has

103
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 4: passed away, which is yeah, pretty sad. Rest in peace.

104
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: Last week, the Department of Justice finally released some of

105
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: the missing files related to four interviews from between nineteen

106
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: with a protected source who claimed that Epstein introduced her

107
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: to Trump in the eighties when she was between the

108
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: ages of thirteen and fifteen, and that Trump's actually abused her.

109
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: The newly released documents r FBI memos summarizing three interviews

110
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: and a crisis intake form.

111
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

112
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: This victim received a financial settlement from the Epstein state

113
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one. An NPR found that there are

114
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: still thirty seven missing pages related to these interviews.

115
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also worth noting that the FBI is currently

116
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: looking into Zoro Ranch. What was lunch Zoro Ranch in

117
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: New Mexico. This was Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico property, and

118
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: it's where he talked a lot about when he would

119
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: talk about his plans to breed a bunch of children

120
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 3: and stuff with his DNA or whatever he like. Zoro

121
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 3: Ranch was the epicenter of this, and it's become clear

122
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: in the documents release that in terms of the amount

123
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: of trafficking and the amount of abuse of trafficked children

124
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: that was done there at least equal to his island. Now,

125
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: this ranch goes under a new name and it's owned

126
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 3: by a new person, and we'll talk about who exactly

127
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 3: that is in a second. But there were several attempts

128
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 3: by local law enforcement to investigate the ranch, particularly to

129
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: dig for human remains, but those were kind of stymied

130
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: by ongoing FBI investigations that seem very shady in retrospect,

131
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: given how long they waited to look for bodies on

132
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: the ranch. But they're doing that now. I don't know

133
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: if they're going to find anything. A lot of the

134
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: talk about bodies is in like individual anonymous reports that said,

135
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: I'm glad they're looking. They should be looking at this ranch.

136
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: And now I can give the promised punchline, which is

137
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: that the current guy who owns Jeffrey Epstein's ranch is

138
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: Don Haffines, who's running for state comptroller in Texas and

139
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 3: who used to run one of the big dealerships in

140
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 3: my childhood. Halfines has it In this case, Halfians might

141
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: have evidence that Jeffrey Epstein murdered people.

142
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: Great is that is bleak? Let's start with Christie Nome.

143
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 4: As we reported last week, it looks like Christie Nome's

144
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: time at the Department of Homeland Security is about to

145
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: come to an end. Did seem that at the time

146
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 4: that Trump announces via truth, Nome was unaware of her

147
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 4: removal and at this footage of her speaking at an

148
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 4: event as people become aware that she's lost her job.

149
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: But shortly after, she posted on x dot com the

150
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: Everything website, thank you at potus for appointing me as

00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate how Trump congratulated Gnome on being an

161
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: excellent Secretary of in quotation Mark's homeland. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

162
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: good stuff.

163
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was great. There has been some speculation about

164
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: Known being fired because of vehicles that she purchased for DHS.

165
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: I've linked to a bunch of those contracts. I found

166
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: the contracts that money is relatively trivial when you look

167
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: at the massive budget that they have, and I'm really

168
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: not sure that this was a reason, and I've seen

169
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 4: no evidence to suggest that it was. What I have

170
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 4: seen is that Gnome is going to be replaced by

171
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: Mark Wayne Mullen. Mullin is a bombastic MAGA supporter. He's

172
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 4: probably best known with trying to start a fight in

173
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: Congress with Sean O'Brien and generally being an extremely loyal

174
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 4: support of Trump. In all cases, apart from January sixth,

175
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: where for a while he supported prosecutions. Now he's much

176
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 4: more like equivocating on that. He also at one point

177
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 4: attempted to set up his own evacuation of US citizens

178
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 4: from Afghanistan during the Biad deministration. He is an enrolled

179
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 4: citizen the Cherokee Nation, which, as I commented before, has

180
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: been the source of far too many democratic critiques which

181
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 4: are really kind of disgusting and bigoted.

182
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. God, there are so.

183
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 4: Many things to be upset about gwayn Munnin about, and

184
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 4: being Cherokee is not one of them. And like policing

185
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: how you think indigenous people should look or suggesting that like, yeah,

186
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: he doesn't fit your trope of indigenous people is in

187
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: itself bigoted and offensive.

188
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: Yeah. As a general rule, if you're like finding reasons

189
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: or reading someone else who's finding reasons to say this

190
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: person who has lived their entire life as a member

191
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: of this tribe isn't really that Your base it on

192
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: some form of racist US government logic from one decade

193
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: or another, because it's changed over time, as opposed to

194
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: how the tribe actually considers membership, right, which, yeah, is it?

195
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: I guess what should matter most. I don't. I shouldn't

196
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: have an opinion on it either way.

197
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: But it's not what you claim, it's who claims you away.

198
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: I've had it right, right exactly. It's like the way family.

199
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. I shouldn't say anymore because it's not

200
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: my fucking place.

201
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wish other people would adopt the same stunts.

202
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

203
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 4: Mullin is a really big border hawk. He's been incredibly

204
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: combative in Congress. I don't think that this will make

205
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 4: DHS any less aggressive or violent. Clearly, Gnomes Tenure have

206
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 4: become unpopular, right in the same way that Baveno had

207
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 4: become unpopular. But I don't think this signals a dramatic

208
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 4: change in DHS leadership or you know, towards respecting people's

209
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: basic dignity and rights. Now, I want to talk a

210
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 4: little bit about the Shield of the Americas. The program

211
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 4: was last weekend at Tramp's golf resort in southern Florida.

212
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 4: It currently has a web page with it a really

213
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: incredible placeholder graphic. Maybe I should just share this if

214
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: you go to Shield of the America's dot site.

215
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: I was, yeah, I was wondering if that was a

216
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: real website. I think it is, like, do we know

217
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: that that's actually what they.

218
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: So I'm a little unsure because I couldn't find like

219
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 4: a government contract for like the website hosting right that.

220
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 4: I don't think I've ever found a government contract to

221
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: the website hosting. So it's a placeholder. And then it

222
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 4: has videos if you click access content, it appears to

223
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 4: be essentially like a drop box huh for videos of

224
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 4: the Shield of the America's event. Yeah, it seems to

225
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 4: be real.

226
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: It does seem to be based on the inclusion of

227
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: these videos. But the main page with the with the

228
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 2: little shit.

229
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: That's definitely their logo.

230
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like it's from two thousand and five

231
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 2: in the most enduring way possible.

232
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 4: You know, somewhat mooed up Microsoft paint and went to

233
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 4: town on this.

234
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: Someone had graphic design as a passion.

235
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks kind of g I Joe ask. It

236
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: looks kind of like American Ninja Warrior ass. Yeah, like

237
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: it's it's a very specific, like an era of design

238
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: choices here.

239
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: This shield graphic. It's fascinating much to discuss anyway, moving

240
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: plastic graphic currently, the agreement the Shield of America's agreement

241
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 4: was signed by representatives from Argentina, Bolivia, Costanica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana, Honduras, Panama,

242
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 4: of Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States. Evidently,

243
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 4: for those keeping track of countries in the Americas, it's

244
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: leaves Mexico, Brazil, Columbia, and Venezuela, along with other Caribbean

245
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 4: island nations. There was also a representative from Chile's president elect,

246
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 4: who obviously couldn't sign because they don't have the authority

247
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: to do so. Yet, what it seems to be is

248
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 4: an extension of what we've seen already right of the

249
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: quote unquote Donroe dot.

250
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: Can we just call it the Trump doctrine? Why do

251
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: we got to do this?

252
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: I think the don Road doction actually is the correct

253
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: way to refer to it, as.

254
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 4: I just Trump himself has used it, and it annoys me. Yeah, unfortunately,

255
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 4: so annoys me. Yeah, me both, buddy.

256
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: I know it's what he calls it, but it annoys me.

257
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 4: It's extremely unfortunate.

258
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: But it also links it to an actual lineage of

259
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: US foreign policy behavior.

260
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yeah, yeah. The Trump corollary to the Monroe

261
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 4: doctrine would perhaps have been a more conventional way.

262
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 3: That would be the dignified way to refer to it.

263
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 3: That would be the way like a historian would hope

264
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 3: to refer to it.

265
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: The Unfortunately, dignity is not a thing that's abounding at

266
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 4: this time.

267
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It's not.

268
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 5: First is tragedy, second as first.

269
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then it's really big fast. I guess the

270
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 4: best way to explain Short of America is is to

271
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 4: explain the conference it was hosted the day before at

272
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 4: Trump's golf resort, which was the Department of Defense, sometimes

273
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 4: referred to as the Department of War.

274
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: But not when they're talking about military action in Iran,

275
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,119
Speaker 2: in which it's the Department of Defense again.

276
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, because that's not a war, the

277
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 4: DD hosted the America's Countercutel Conference. The correct abbreviation and

278
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 4: according to the Secretary of Defense is AC three, just

279
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 4: so you know, And I think it's best to explain

280
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 4: this with the strikes that were carried out just a

281
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 4: few days before this, right on the third of Marty

282
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 4: the six, so much southcomb so that that would be

283
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 4: the US Regional Command which encompasses South America and Central

284
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 4: America announced that it had quote launched operations against quote designated

285
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 4: terrorist organizations in Ecuador. We saw videos of like these

286
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 4: very small, very isolated jungle outposts being struck, and then

287
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 4: we saw videos of helicopters deploying troops who did not

288
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 4: appear to be United States troops. It is uncle exactly

289
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 4: like what the munitions or what the thing doing that

290
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: the strike at the start of those videos were, But

291
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 4: it seems that the US is working at the very

292
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: least with Ecuadorian troops. Potentially the US is just there

293
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 4: to quote unquote train, advise, and assist, right, but it

294
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: signals a much more like violent approach to this anti

295
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 4: cartel mission. In this case, the two groups Los Joanneiros

296
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 4: and Los Lobos, they were both listed as foreign terrorist

297
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: organizations and specially designated Global terrorists in September of last year.

298
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 4: I haven't seen that link made anywhere else explicitly in

299
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: reference to this strike, but the fact that they used

300
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 4: they didn't use FTO in the statement, right, they used

301
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: dto designated terrorist organizations. There are a few different ways

302
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: an organization can be designated as a terrorist, but given

303
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 4: that there are two that are listed as FTOS and

304
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: that those two are the most acqui in the region.

305
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: I think we can assume that that's who it was against.

306
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 4: They also added the Clandale Golfer right the golf cartel

307
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 4: would be how people refer to it in English in

308
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: December of twenty five, to the FTO list. I didn't

309
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 4: pick this up at the time, and again I haven't

310
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 4: seen a great deal of reporting on it. The reason

311
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: this concerns me is that it pertains to the trig

312
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 4: Bar terrorism related in admissibility guidelines. The trig bar can

313
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 4: bar people for being admissible to the United States, and

314
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: it could be a serious barrier to migrants. Organizations can

315
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 4: be considered terrorists for the purpose of the trig bar

316
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 4: if they are not FTOS. That the addition of the

317
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 4: golf Cartel to the FTO list will make it very

318
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 4: hard for people seeking asylum in the United States who

319
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: have crossed a darien, because it is not possible for

320
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 4: them to do that, at least if they are coming

321
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: from south to north, which was a direction of travel

322
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 4: until twenty twenty five, without transiting golf Cartail territory, and

323
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 4: it would not be possible for that to happen without

324
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 4: interacting with them in some way, and so this is

325
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 4: potentially very concerning. I want to do more reporting on

326
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 4: the trig bar. I am pursuing that with some like

327
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: public records request, which will just take some time. Trump

328
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 4: has very clearly made the link between this coalition and

329
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 4: the much larger international coalition against the Islamic State. I've

330
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 4: said this before, but he clearly sees Operation Inherent Resolve

331
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 4: as a very successful model for foreign policy.

332
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

333
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 4: I especially think the model of the it was called

334
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 4: talent anvil, but the strike cell that they had in

335
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 4: Syria is one that he thinks is a very successful model.

336
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: I've written about this a link to a piece I

337
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 4: wrote about this in my newsletter. But Robert, do you

338
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 4: want to go ahead there?

339
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean I should start with a little update

340
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 3: on our ongoing story, which is that America is out

341
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: of bullets or running out of bullets. Not literal bullets.

342
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 3: There's plenty of those.

343
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, also those in America, but the.

344
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: Actual munitions that we use to intercept, both drones and

345
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: ballistic missiles. Now, a couple of things have happened since

346
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 3: the start of our war with Iran. We've moved a

347
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 3: significant chunk if not the absolute majority. It's a little

348
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 3: unclear of the anti missile and anti drone weaponry, the

349
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 3: major stuff that we had protecting other parts of the

350
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 3: world that the United States has bases in, like South Korea,

351
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: over to the Middle East, and over to intercept Iranian

352
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: missiles primarily headed either towards US forces or most often

353
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 3: to Israel. But even with all of the shit that

354
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 3: we've redeployed from other areas, there's only so many of

355
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: the munitions that we use because they're very expensive, and

356
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 3: particularly the drones that are on is using, like the

357
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 3: Shahed drones, are very cheap. So starting at kind of

358
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 3: the start of hostilities, we were looking about six point

359
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 3: seven percent Iranian drones got through the intercept got through.

360
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 3: And this is just in the UAE, but you can

361
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: assume that it's fairly accurate to other theaters, right, because

362
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 3: we have a lot of missile defense and a lot

363
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: of drone events in the UAE. So at the start

364
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: of hostilities, about six point seven percent of Iranian Shaheed

365
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 3: drones we're getting through the UAE's defenses.

366
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 4: Stop it, Huh. There is a thing, rubbitt that younger

367
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 4: people do.

368
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 3: Yes, the six to seventh thing. Yes, I know it's funny.

369
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 3: Aron did that just for the Zoomers or the jinn

370
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 3: alfhas whatever. Anyway, that's February like twenty eighth. By March tenth,

371
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 3: more than twenty five percent of Iranian drones are getting

372
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: through the UAE's interception defenses. Oh wow, there hasn't been

373
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 3: a massive change in the rate of ballistic missile interceptions yet,

374
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 3: which suggests that at least we're not running on empty.

375
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: But that's not good, right, that's a massive change, Like,

376
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 3: that's a massive issue. So we'll continue. I'll be doing

377
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: a whole episode on how the US is running out

378
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: of bullets, bullets being a stand in tern for more

379
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: advanced munitions. But I've got something else to talk about

380
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: right now that's also involved in the Iranian theater. Particularly,

381
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to talk about mines in the Strait of

382
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: horn Moos. Let's do some ads for products that you

383
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: may not be able to buy if naval traffic is

384
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 3: interdicted through the Strait of Hormuz.

385
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: So buy him now, So get him now.

386
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: Books. So there's an evidence that's come out kind of

387
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: in the last couple of days. I start broken on

388
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 3: the new Republic. But I believe CBS News was the

389
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: origin point that Iran started laying mines in the Strait

390
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 3: before Donald Trump publicly declared he was going, he wanted

391
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 3: to take it over. So basically, after we killed a

392
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: huge chunk of the Iranian government, Trump started public amusing,

393
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 3: maybe we'll just take over the Strait of horm Moves,

394
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: and Iran started mining the shit out of it. Now,

395
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: this is a problem for a lot of reasons. For

396
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 3: one thing, the Strait is probably the most I mean,

397
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 3: it's arguably the most important energy transit point on planet

398
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 3: Earth right Like, it's about a fifth of all crude

399
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 3: oil shipments go through the Strait. That's not the only

400
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 3: thing that goes through there, but it is an incredible

401
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 3: amount of the world's crude oil supply travels through this strait,

402
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 3: and Tehran's always kind of had the option of closing

403
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: it by just dumping a bunch of mines in there.

404
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 3: Mines are incredibly cheap. You can drop mines from very

405
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 3: small boats. The US Navy is very good at blowing

406
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 3: up big boats, but if you have a shipload of

407
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 3: small boats that have a shitload of mines, it's basically

408
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: impossible to stop an adversary like Iran from laying a

409
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 3: fuckload of mines, and that will make it basically untenable

410
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 3: financially for anyone to run oil through the strait. If

411
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: you never know if one of your boats is going

412
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 3: to get hit by a fucking sea mine, it makes

413
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 3: it hard to get insure to run a boat through

414
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 3: the strait of horn moves. Most of these mines are

415
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 3: not capable of I mean, these minds in general, are

416
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: not capable of destroying the kind of bolt callars that

417
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: move crude through. They're not going to blow the boat

418
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 3: out of the water immediately, but they're going to damage it,

419
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: and they have a very good chance, because these boats

420
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 3: are filled with crude fucking oil, of lighting them on fire.

421
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: And that causes a serious problem for the crew of

422
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: any boat. I want you to I shouldn't have to

423
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: explain why that creates a serious problem with the crew

424
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: of any boat that's filled with crude oil. Right, It's

425
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 3: pretty obvious that once it became clear that uh Aron

426
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: started laying had started laying mines in the straight, US

427
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: forces claimed to have sunk sixteen mine layers. That was

428
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 3: from US Syncom. Although it's kind of unclear because at

429
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 3: least half of those seem to have been inactive at

430
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: the time, So these may have just been bigger mind

431
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: layers that we hit at the start of our attacks

432
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 3: on their navy. And then when we realize there's going

433
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 3: to be a news cycle about mines in the Strait,

434
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: let's claim, you know, right whatever. After it came out

435
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 3: that around had in fact been laying minds, President Trump truthed,

436
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 3: we want them removed immediately. If for any reason, minds

437
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 3: were placed, and they are not removed forthwith I've never

438
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: heard them used fourthwith before.

439
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 4: Yes, any would for him?

440
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, the military consequences to Iran will be

441
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: at a level never before seen. If, on the other hand,

442
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 3: they removement may have been placed, it will be a

443
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: giant step in the right direction. That sounds kind of desperate,

444
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: and it sounds kind of desperate because the United States

445
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 3: is in a uniquely dog shit position to deal with

446
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 3: c minds right specifically now, Yeah, we made a really

447
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: funny decision, and by we, I mean the Trump administration

448
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: made a really funny decision basically immediately before we declared

449
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 3: war on Iran, a country we've known has always threatened

450
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 3: to mine the strait of horror moves every time we

451
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 3: fucked with them. And that funny decision was in January,

452
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: the Navy decommissioned for Avengers class mind countermeasureships, which were

453
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: the last mind countermeasureships we had in the Persian Golf.

454
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: Now we have other boats that we're pretty sure can

455
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 3: do the job, but we've never tried. And the funny

456
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 3: thing about the boats that we're currently going to be

457
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 3: using for to take out mines is that they're pre

458
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 3: existing boats that were not built to take out mines.

459
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 3: We basically have like they're called like operations packages that

460
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 3: you add to the boat to add capability. One of

461
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 3: the capabilities they have these little like basically drone torpedo

462
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 3: things that can go out and seek out mines. They've

463
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 3: got in enhanced like radar package I guess or whatever.

464
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 3: They're better at looking for mines because the boats that

465
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 3: they added these packages to were not initially meant for

466
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 3: d mining. They're littoral combat ships lcs's widely considered to

467
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 3: be the worst boats in the entire US Navy. In fact,

468
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 3: in the Navy, the acronym LCS stands for little Crappy

469
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: ships because they're bad. They've been very bad. It Basically

470
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: every time we have like tested how will these things

471
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 3: function and like a real fight, it's the answer has

472
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 3: been like terribly. They're not good ships. They kind of

473
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 3: suck ass. Now we'll see if the mind countermeasures that

474
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: they put on these boats like make them superior to

475
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 3: the old Avenger class. However, there's a lot of issues

476
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: with the mind countermeasure packages that they've they've been making

477
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 3: for these and I want to read a quote from

478
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: an article published by famous leftist and thus untrustworthy news source,

479
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: the US Naval Institute. Quote. Initially set for an initial

480
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 3: operational capability in twenty fifteen, the mcm package went through

481
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 3: a development process punctuated by stops and program failures. For example,

482
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 3: the first craft that could tow the AQS twenty son

483
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: Are to Hunt the Bulk of Minds, suffered reliability problems

484
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: and was scrapped. The service also canceled a plan for

485
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 3: the Image sixtys to tow the AQS twenty. After years

486
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: of program changes, the packages coalesced around a few core

487
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 3: main systems. So the development of these mcmmission packages has

488
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 3: been troubled for a very long time, which is what

489
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 3: delayed the retirement of the Avenger class mine hunters previously,

490
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 3: and the Navy's now saying they totally work now and

491
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: we're all going to find out in real time if

492
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 3: they do. And the last funny thing I have to

493
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: say is the four decommissioned A venture anti mining ships.

494
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: Two of them at least have hilarious names. Two of

495
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: them makes sense. One of them was the USS Century,

496
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: perfectly reasonable name for a d mining shipkay. The other

497
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 3: was the USS Dextrous. Kind of a weird name, but whatever.

498
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 3: And then you have the USS Devastator and the USS Gladiator.

499
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: What is a mine shift devastates It's for dam It's

500
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 3: to stop things from getting devastated. Anyway, that's my report.

501
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 4: Okay, good to know, and let's pick up with I Ran.

502
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 4: I want to start by talking about the speculation regarding

503
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 4: partner forces. I think some of it has been just

504
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 4: like a little bit misinformed. Star always people have been

505
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 4: talking about the Blochistan Liberation Army. They were only added

506
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 4: to the United States FTO list last summer, which leads

507
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 4: me to believe that the Trump administration is not positively

508
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 4: disposed towards him. Right, if they've just put them on

509
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 4: the FTO list in August of last year.

510
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 3: One of the odds anyone in that administration knows where

511
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: Blakistan is.

512
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it happened shortly after they killed some some Pakistani

513
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 4: military personnel. So I'm guessing they just got asked to

514
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 4: do it, or it was part of the negotiation.

515
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

516
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

517
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 4: It also seems very unlikely that Trump is now willing

518
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 4: to back a Kurdish land incursion. Invasion wouldn't be the

519
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 4: right word. If people going into Kurdistan, it's not invasion.

520
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 4: I have a short video here.

521
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 6: We're about kind.

522
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: Of an autonomous region. If they did, it's Syriami, right.

523
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 4: We're not happy.

524
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 7: We're not looking to the courage go again. We're very

525
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 7: friendly with the courage, as you know, but we don't

526
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 7: want to make the war any more complex than it

527
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 7: already is. Number we don't want. Yeah, I have wrote

528
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 7: it down. I don't want the courage going in. I

529
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 7: don't want to see the Kurds get hurt, get killed.

530
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 7: We've had a good relationship.

531
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: They were they to go, but we.

532
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 7: Really I've told them I don't want them to go.

533
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 7: I just think it's the worst complicated enough without.

534
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: Having yeah, sure, you would want the word to get complicated.

535
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 4: Also, the audio quality on Fox News, they're absolutely atrocious.

536
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard US plains sometimes.

537
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, they're in a difficult situation.

538
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 7: Yeah.

539
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 4: So I've spoken to a couple of these Kurdish groups

540
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 4: that people have been speculating about in the last couple

541
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 4: of weeks. Here's part of a statement that I received

542
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 4: from the PAK that's a Kurdistan Freedom party that refers

543
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 4: to the US's vascillation on supporting them. Quote, the United

544
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 4: States is working in the best possible way to dismantle

545
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 4: the Iranian regime and eliminate terrorism in the region. For

546
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 4: over three decades, we have been fighting to expel the

547
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 4: IIGC from Kurdistan and liberate our land. Therefore, we cannot

548
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 4: and must not base our policies on the shifts in

549
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 4: US rhetoric. America has its own plans regarding the overthrow

550
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 4: and subsequent administration of Iran, and we have our plan

551
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 4: for the liberation administration of Roger Lad Roja Lad, referring

552
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 4: to eastern Kurdistan.

553
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 5: There.

554
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. Meanwhile, of course, for the last week, we've seen

555
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 4: consistent bombing of Iran, including the targeting of oil and

556
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 4: water infrastructure. Hengar is reporting horrible overcrowding and food shortages,

557
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 4: as well as increased militarization of the Gazol Jesar prison,

558
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 4: which holds more than sixteen thousand people. As I highlighted

559
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 4: last week, Iran was in a water crisis before this

560
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 4: new campaign began. Hitting water infrastructure will only increase the

561
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 4: odds of massive human suffering and death. This is especially

562
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: true it seems that Trump is somewhat growing tired of

563
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: the war with Iran. He said in a press conference

564
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 4: this week it would be quote inappropriate to target the

565
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 4: newly chosen Supreme Leader of Iran. In the same press conference,

566
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 4: Trump also repeated his claim that Iran was quote going

567
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 4: to take over the Middle East and would have had

568
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 4: quote a nuclear weapon within a matter of weeks if

569
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 4: it were not for last year's Operation Midnight Hammer. He

570
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 4: also talked about an Iranian nuclear site quote protected by granite.

571
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 4: Both four Dooh and Natans were struck last year and

572
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 4: have underground elements. Four dough is about eighty meters below ground. Yeah,

573
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 4: and that was the site that required a US strike.

574
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: Israel did not have the means to knock that one out,

575
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 4: But to the best of my knowledge, FOURDA is now

576
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 4: out of commission following the strikes in Operation Midnight Hammer,

577
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 4: which happening in twenty twenty five. Perhaps he's referring to

578
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 4: another subterranean site, or perhaps he's confusing this with earlier information. Evidently,

579
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: you can't just destroy uranium, right, Like, if there is

580
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 4: in rich nuclear material, then that is still there.

581
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, we talked about this the last time, but

582
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 3: like the thing that's time consuming is enriching the uranium,

583
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 3: and there's there's no evidence that any of this has

584
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: reduced the amount that Aron has access to.

585
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, And according to Senator Chris Murphy, it doesn't

586
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 4: seem like that is particularly the target at this campaign.

587
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 4: He said, most of the targets I conventional weapons facilities

588
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 4: like drones and missile facilities, the Iranian Navy, as Robert mentioned,

589
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 4: air Force, it does not seem like they're particularly interested

590
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 4: in regime change, and as Robert mentioned, the IIGC is

591
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 4: still able to use many of its small civilian vessels,

592
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 4: fast attack vessels, and drones. Spoke to quite a few

593
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 4: people who are in this sort of shipping security world,

594
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: and one of their concerns is like when they say

595
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 4: fast attack vessels, they're talking about very small boats with

596
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 4: mounted machine guns, right, operating in large groups and swarming

597
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 4: tankers or other ships going through the straight ofform moods,

598
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 4: which would be quite challenging to defend ships from, especially

599
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 4: of their large civilian ships, right. I know some people

600
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 4: have been speculating about the CM three to zero two

601
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 4: missiles around ordered from China. Those are like, quote unquote

602
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 4: carrier killer missiles. I don't believe they have those yet,

603
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 4: though they do, we'll probably find out soon enough.

604
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, boy, that would be a big day.

605
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 4: Yeah boy, yeah, yeah, that would These things would get

606
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 4: quite bad if if that happened.

607
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, I honestly like that might be for

608
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: this administration. A tactical nuclear scenario like that, it would

609
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: it would be an unprecedented loss. They'd have to do

610
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 3: something insane the same face.

611
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I assume US carriers have means of defense, are

612
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 4: supposed to.

613
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: They're very hard to kill. Yes, yeah, that's.

614
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 4: A particular like matchup that no one has seen yet

615
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 4: because no one has been wild enough to try it.

616
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they say these are carrier killers. They're theoretically carrier Yeah.

617
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: They lot of the defensive systems on carriers as regards

618
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 3: missiles like that are theoretical too, because it hasn't happened.

619
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not. Many people have aircraft carriers, and people

620
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: who do. You don't want to piss off?

621
00:32:59,360 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

622
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 4: Finally, I guess I want to talk about the Senator

623
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 4: Bluementhal who raised the alarm in a congressional briefing this week.

624
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 4: Is a clip.

625
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 8: I emerged from this briefing as dissatisfied and angry, frankly,

626
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 8: as I have from any past briefing in my fifteen

627
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 8: years in the Senate. I am left with more questions

628
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 8: than answers, especially about the cost of the war. My

629
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 8: questions have been unanswered, and I will demand answers because

630
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 8: the American people deserve to know. And I guess I

631
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 8: am most concerned about the threat to American lives of

632
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 8: potentially deploying our sons and daughters on the ground in Iran.

633
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 8: We seem to be on a path towards deploying American

634
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 8: troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of

635
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 8: the potential objectives here and there is also, as disturbingly

636
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 8: as anything else, the specter of active Russian age to Iran,

637
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 8: putting in danger American lives.

638
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 4: The last part references reporting that came first from the

639
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 4: Washington Post. Russia is providing targeting info to Iran, chiefly

640
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 4: using its advanced satellite imaging capacity. To quote from the

641
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: Peace Quote, since the War Bigale Saturday, Russia has passed

642
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 4: around the locations of US military assets, including warships and aircraft.

643
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 4: This might explain how Iran has been able to hit

644
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,479
Speaker 4: some softer targets at the temporary structure in q Weight,

645
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 4: where at least six people were killed. We've no learned

646
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: that many more people were seriously injured, as well as

647
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 4: hitting some over their horizon radar systems that we spoke

648
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 4: about last week. Finally, the US is carrying out operations

649
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 4: against Hashtel Shabi Popular Mobilization forces in Iraq. This is

650
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 4: getting a lot less reporting, but it seems like if

651
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 4: there are boots on the ground anywhere right now, this

652
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 4: would be where they would be. Right They're using things

653
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 4: like apaches in a tens, They're not using standoff munitions

654
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 4: delivered from a great distance, and so anything that is

655
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 4: likely to result in either needing people to support targets

656
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 4: or needing people to rescue a pilot of a plane

657
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 4: or a helicopter gets shot down, would more likely at

658
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 4: this point be there in it Raq. That's about all

659
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 4: I have.

660
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: We'll go on one more ad break and return with

661
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: a special segment from Ama Wong.

662
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 4: So we need to entry the music.

663
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 5: If you want to play the music, you can't.

664
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 7: Rock jazz rocking jazz good sorry, locking.

665
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 3: Rocking jazz, rocking jazz.

666
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 6: Bo Onto the economy, we have been seeing over the

667
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 6: past week what I would effectively describe as a will

668
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 6: they won't they? With are the stock markets going to collapse?

669
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 6: Where markets have imploded and then immediately rebounded, basically in

670
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 6: line with Trump saying that the war is going to

671
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 6: be over very soon. This was the sort of state

672
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 6: of things on Monday. You know, there have been massive

673
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 6: collapses in the Asian market from rising oil prices, and

674
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 6: then Trump said that quote the war is very complete,

675
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 6: pretty much in a phone interview with the journalist from NBC,

676
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 6: and this caused the resurrection of the markets. Now, this

677
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 6: is completely disconnected from the actual reality of the war

678
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 6: and functioned entirely to again just calling these markets on Tuesday.

679
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 6: So that was Monday. On Tuesday, Trump speech quote, We've

680
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 6: already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough.

681
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 6: We go forward war determined than ever to achieve ultimate

682
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 6: victory that will end this long running danger once and

683
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 6: for all. Which, Okay, that's gibberish. Now. Trump has specifically

684
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 6: begun to address the fact that, again you can't move

685
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 6: oil tankers through the straighter from moves because Iran is

686
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 6: going to just carry out strikes on them. He said, quote,

687
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 6: We're also focused on keeping energy and oil flows to

688
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 6: the world, and I will not allow a terrorist regime

689
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 6: to hold the world hostage and attempt to stop the

690
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 6: globe's oil supply. And if Iran does anything to do that,

691
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 6: they'll get hit at a much much harder level. I

692
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 6: will take out those targets that were easy and that

693
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 6: I mentioned before, will take them out so quickly they'll

694
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 6: never be able to recover. Ever, if they want to

695
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 6: play that game, they better not play that game. In

696
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 6: the long run, oil supplies will be dramatically more secure

697
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 6: without the threat of Iranian ships, drones, missiles, nuclear menace,

698
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 6: or anything. So what he's saying here is that if

699
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 6: Iran keeps the straight closed, he's going to destroy them.

700
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 6: But a he's already in a war with them, and

701
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 6: b this just means that as long as a wrong

702
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 6: keeps it straight closed, then the war keeps going, which

703
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 6: keeps a straight closed longer, which keeps the war going.

704
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 6: So this is great. Trump was also directly asked by

705
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 6: a reporter about whether the war is going to keep going.

706
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 6: Quote thank you, thank you, mister president. You said the

707
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 6: war is quote very complete, but your defense secretary says,

708
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 6: this is just the beginning. So which is it and

709
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 6: how long should Americans be prepared for this war to

710
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 6: last for? And he immediately starts going into metaphysics. Quote well,

711
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 6: I think we could say both the beginning. It's the

712
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 6: beginning of building a new country. And then he eventually says, so,

713
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 6: you know, you could look at that statement. We could

714
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 6: call it a tremendous success right now as we leave here,

715
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 6: I could call it, or we could go further. And

716
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 6: we're going further. But the big risks on that war

717
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 6: have been over for three days. We wipe them out

718
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 6: in the first two days. So that says nothing other

719
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 6: than probably the war is going to keep going.

720
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 7: Now.

721
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 6: Trump has been claiming there would be navy escorts through

722
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 6: this trade of war moves. This is an absolute unhinged

723
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 6: lie that Trump came up with to calm oil prices.

724
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 6: And on Wednesday we had reporting from Reuters that obviously

725
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 6: know the Navy has been turning down requests for escort.

726
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 6: I'm going going to read a quote from that Raiders

727
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 6: piece quote the US Navy has refused near daily requests

728
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 6: from the shipping industry for military escorts through this trade

729
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 6: of from moves since the start of the war on Iran,

730
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 6: saying the risk of attacks is too high for now,

731
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 6: according to sources familiar with the matter, which yeah, no shit,

732
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 6: of course isn't happening. There's no way for it to happen.

733
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 6: He We've seen an oil tanker. The largest of these

734
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 6: things is two fifths of a kilometer long, right, and

735
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 6: some of them are, you know, half that size, so

736
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 6: they are like one fifth of a kilometer long. But

737
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 6: you can't escort that through a strait that is, and

738
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 6: I kind of emphasize this enough, twenty three miles wide

739
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 6: at its narrowest point. Now. Iran has also started mining

740
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 6: the straits to some extent. On Wednesday, Trump claimed the

741
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 6: Navy had destroyed Iron's mining ships and the strait was

742
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 6: safe across. Iran immediately proved this to be a lie

743
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 6: by hitting a whole bunch of oil tankers in various

744
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 6: places around the Golf. And this is, you know, one

745
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 6: of the substantive issues with trying to get one fifth

746
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 6: of the world's oil supply through this Golf on top

747
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 6: of and also and again like this is being reported

748
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 6: a little bit less, but we talked about this in

749
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 6: my episode earlier in the week. It's not just oil,

750
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 6: it's things like critical chemical components for fertilizer that comes

751
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 6: through here. It's natural gas, it's also helium, which is

752
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 6: a very very critical element for a whole bunch of

753
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 6: the industry that is actually very scarce, and a huge

754
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 6: amount of the world's helium is aply has to travel

755
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 6: through the Gulf. And there are so many kinds of

756
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 6: munitions besides mines that ironkins use to hit boats, from

757
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 6: rockets and missiles to drones, just shooting at them with

758
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 6: the guns on boats. The thing they've apparently done now now.

759
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 6: Trump also said that he was waving oil related sanctions

760
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 6: on certain countries to reduce prices. It's not clear what

761
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 6: this means. It's probably Russia. Reuters has claimed that it's

762
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 6: about the US temporary allowing India to purchase Russian oil

763
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 6: that's been like stranded at see, it's very unclear what's

764
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 6: going on there. On Thursday, we got we got a

765
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 6: bunch of claims from the administration that escorting tankers through

766
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 6: the Strait was their plan the whole time, which no,

767
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 6: it wasn't. This is just going to continue to be

768
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 6: an absolute nightmare because if Trump can't figure out a

769
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 6: way to get oil through there, he's either going to

770
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 6: have to end the war or the world economy is

771
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 6: going to just implode. Yeah, we'll be tracking that situation.

772
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 6: There's also another crisis that has begun to brew, which

773
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 6: is the crisis in the so called private credit markets,

774
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 6: which is this is stuff that used to be called

775
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 6: shadow banking. I'm going to go into more detail on

776
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 6: this later as it becomes more and more sort of relevant,

777
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 6: but private credit slash shadow banking is a series of

778
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 6: things that are like a bank, but they're not regulated,

779
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 6: so we are talking about trillions of dollars of assets.

780
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 6: There has been a huge run basically on the shadow banks,

781
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 6: to the point where several very large banks have paused

782
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 6: the ability to take money out of them. Now, it's

783
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 6: difficult to report on this because we don't actually know

784
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 6: anything about how many people are pulling their money out

785
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 6: or what the effect on this is because there are

786
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 6: no reporting requirements because these are shadow banks, and the

787
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 6: whole point about them is that they're not subject to

788
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 6: the regular regulations that regular banking will be subject to.

789
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 6: So that's another looming economic crisis that we're all sort

790
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 6: of just going to have to deal with, on top

791
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 6: of Trump attempting to just sort of destroy the economy

792
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 6: with this war in Iran. And finally, I want to

793
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 6: close by talking about a very good piece and crime

794
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 6: thing called history is Repeating itself. A Lebanese perspective on

795
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 6: the war in palenestein Lebanon and Iran. That is an

796
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 6: interview with friend of the show Iliiu, talking about a

797
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 6: part of this war that hasn't basically ignored in the media,

798
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 6: which is to quote Ilia. Israel has ordered the forced evacuation,

799
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 6: effectively the ethnic cleansing of the entirety of southern Lebanon,

800
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 6: the hey in parts of Becca. This has been a

801
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 6: horrifying campaign that has involved Israel bombing major Lebanese cities,

802
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 6: including repeated bombings of Beyrout, as well as a systematic

803
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 6: destruction of Lebanese villages by the Israeli army in the

804
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 6: areas they've occupied in the south. The Israeli invasion has

805
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 6: killed six hundred people in Lebanon so far, and that

806
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 6: number will be higher by the time we're listening to this.

807
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 6: This campaign does not seem to have an endpoint and

808
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 6: is continuing as the American and Israeli war and Ron

809
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 6: also continues to grind on. Yeah, put a trends goal

810
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 6: on your couch, Thank you, Mia.

811
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: I have a few more news stories before we close

812
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 2: out this episode. Trump has delayed his endorsement in the

813
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: Republican Texas primary to build pressure on the Senate to

814
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 2: pass the Save Act, the Voting Restriction Act. To gain

815
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 2: favor with the President. Ken Paxton has announced he'd back

816
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 2: out of the race if this Senate passes the Save Act,

817
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: which Trump later called his number one priority. Paxton knows

818
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 2: that the passing of the Act is very unlikely, but

819
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 2: by signaling support for the President's number one priority, he's

820
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 2: hoping to gain favor and maybe even steal the endorsement

821
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: away from Cornyn or convinced Trump not to give an

822
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: endorsement which would help him in the runoff election.

823
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 5: Okay.

824
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 2: Politico has reported that Trump was quote irritated when news

825
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: articles from acts Send the Atlantic published Wednesday declaring that

826
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 2: Trump was quote unquote expected to endorse Cornin. According to

827
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 2: a Republican operative, Trump and others in his orbit hate

828
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 2: when stories get out ahead of official announcements. Unquote. I

829
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: sympathize with the president here. I am also often irritated

830
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 2: by news articles from Axio Send the Atlantic.

831
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, an't. We'll let's see. I think it bring

832
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 4: us together as a country.

833
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 2: Right, It will be interesting to see what Trump does here.

834
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: I mean Trump is previously called cornn like a rhino,

835
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 2: and Paxton is way more popular with the megabase despite

836
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 2: having more electoral liabilities for the general election day. On

837
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 2: March fifth, seven of the biggest tech companies signed President

838
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 2: Trump's rate Payer Protection Pledge, empowering the private sector to

839
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 2: build their own power infrastructure like power plans, microgrids, and substations,

840
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 2: while also agreeing to quote bring or buy a new

841
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 2: generation resources and cover the cost of all power delivery

842
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 2: infrastructure upgrades required for their data centers, ensuring such expenses

843
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: are not passed to American households unquote, and that is

844
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 2: per the White House. So this expounds on the rate

845
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 2: player Protection pledge that Trump announced during his State of

846
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: the Unit address. We have a little bit more details now.

847
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 2: The pledge has been signed by Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft,

848
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 2: Open Ai, Oracle.

849
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 5: And Xai.

850
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 2: These companies will quote unquote voluntarily negotiate new separate rate

851
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 2: structures with utilities and state governments wherever they build new

852
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 2: data centers, and will quote commit to pay these rates

853
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 2: for the power and related infrastructure brought online to service

854
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 2: their data centers, whether they use the electricity or not

855
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: on quote, to prevent blackouts and power shortages. The pledge

856
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 2: also promises that AI companies and hyperscalers will also quote

857
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 2: coordinate with grid operators to make backup generation resources available

858
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: at times of emergency, contributing to a more reliable grid unquote.

859
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: This pledge is not legally binding, but like I said,

860
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 2: it will empower the private sector to develop power plant infrastructure.

861
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 4: Great scary.

862
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: Last Saturday, March seventh, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a

863
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 2: protest outside of the New York City Mayor's residence Gracie Manson,

864
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 2: dubbed stop the Islamic takeover of New York City. Stop

865
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 2: New York City public Muslim prayer unquote.

866
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 4: Incredibly frustrating guy. Yeah, I know that's his goal, but

867
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 4: like very frustrating.

868
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 3: Well, he's high off the fact that he was able

869
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 3: to ignite a news cycle by lying about jet Yeah.

870
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 4: After getting chased out of Minneapolis by people with water

871
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 4: pistols and rescue bacter aunts lady yeah.

872
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 7: Now.

873
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 2: During this protest on Saturday, two teenagers who traveled from Pennsylvania,

874
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 2: a Mere Blot and Ibrahim Cay allegedly attempted to detonate

875
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 2: two improvised explosive devices amongst the protesters, and after being apprehended,

876
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 2: both suspects stated allegiance with ISIS. According to US Attorney

877
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: for the Southern District of New York, J. Clayton, the

878
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: home made explosive devices were mason jar sized and packed

879
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 2: with metal shrapnel and contained the high explosive tatp oh wow.

880
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: One ied was ignited and thrown towards a group of protesters.

881
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 2: Another was dropped in front of several NYPD officers, but

882
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: neither device successfully detonated.

883
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 3: It is hard to make bombs, that is why very

884
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 3: few domestic terrorists in the US go the bomb route.

885
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

886
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 2: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche claimed that the bombers quote

887
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 2: allegedly sought to inflict mass casualties in service to ISIS

888
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 2: with the hope of exceeding the carnage of the Boston

889
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: Marathon bombing unquote. Bilot was asked if he wanted to

890
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 2: accomplish something akin to the Boston bomb during interrogation, to

891
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 2: which he allegedly replied, no, even bigger.

892
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 5: It was only three deaths quote.

893
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 2: During interrogation, Koumi stated that he had watched ISIS propaganda

894
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 2: videos on his phone. The criminal complaint says that en

895
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 2: route to the NYPD precinct, Bilot told officers quote, this

896
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 2: isn't a religion that just stands when people talk about

897
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 2: the blessed name of the prophet.

898
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 5: We take action.

899
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 2: If I didn't do it, someone else will come and

900
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 2: do it unquote, And he later pledged allegiance to the

901
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 2: Islamic state in writing along with the phrase die in

902
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 2: your rage.

903
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 3: The only thing weird about it is that there's not

904
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 3: a whole lot of that going on right now. But

905
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 3: this is very similar to the people who are caring

906
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,399
Speaker 3: about sympathetic eyes as attacks, you know, during the height

907
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,919
Speaker 3: of military action and Mosul same death.

908
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yes, the timing is odd, unusual, Yeah, given with

909
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 4: past of the territorial caliph, et cetera. They have been

910
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,959
Speaker 4: propagandizing a bit more in the last five six months.

911
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, and it makes sense that they choose this

912
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 3: as a target.

913
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

914
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 3: But thankfully again, most people who try to make bombs

915
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 3: fail and that was the case this time too.

916
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, for our last main story. Since the war on

917
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: Iran began, the Trump administration has increasingly been talking about

918
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 2: Cuba as being the next target of US intervention. In

919
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 2: the immediate aftermath of military strikes in Iran, The Atlantic

920
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: reported that Trump is eyeing Cuba as the next target,

921
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 2: with an administration official saying the President is feeling like

922
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 2: I'm on a roll, like this is working, unquote, And

923
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 2: I seen an interview about US military success in Iran

924
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 2: last Friday, Trump started talking about Cuba, saying, quote, Cuba

925
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 2: is going to fall pretty soon, by the way, unrelated,

926
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 2: but Cuba is going to fall too. They want to

927
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 2: make a deal so badly. They want to make a deal,

928
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 2: and so I'm going to put Marco over there and

929
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,959
Speaker 2: we'll see how that works out out. That same day,

930
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 2: in Florida, Trump was asked about this Cuba deal and

931
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 2: what does it mean for the US.

932
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 9: And it may be a friendly takeover, it may not

933
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 9: be a friendly taker It wouldn't matter because they're really

934
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 9: in They're down to as they say, fumes, they have

935
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 9: no energy, they have no money, They're in deep trouble

936
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 9: on a humanitarian basis, and we don't want to see.

937
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 2: That may or may not be a quote unquote friendly takeover.

938
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 4: Uh huh, Yeah, I mean I think that's really helps you.

939
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like he's threatening Batista too, basically, even

940
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 3: going back further than that.

941
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, does he consider Venezuela to have been a

942
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 4: friendly takeover? Like, because he's very friendly with Delsey now right,

943
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 4: Like you can see her tweeting all the time about

944
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 4: their great partnership. I think he.

945
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 2: Would consider that an unfriendly takeover which has now become friendly.

946
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 2: But I think he's like referring to the amount of

947
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 2: like actual like you know, kinetic force as a part

948
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 2: of it takeover versus just a diplomatic deal done by Rubio.

949
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:14,280
Speaker 2: But in his seene An interview from from Friday, Trump

950
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 2: didn't specify that the administration is quote unquote really focused

951
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 2: on Iran right now and that they have quote plenty

952
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 2: of time. But Cuba's ready after fifty years. I've been

953
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 2: watching it for fifty years, and it's fallen right into

954
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 2: my lap because of me unquote. The before this, Trump

955
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 2: mentioned how Rubio wants to finish up operations in Iran

956
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 2: before trying anything in Cuba. Quote, we could do them

957
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 2: all at the same time, but bad things happen if

958
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 2: you watch countries over the years, if you do them

959
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 2: all too fast, bad things happen unquote do them do

960
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 2: the countries?

961
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:47,919
Speaker 3: Do them?

962
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 5: Yeah?

963
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 4: I see. Fascinating. That's the reference to these regime change

964
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 4: decapitations doing the country. Yeah, right, got it. Good to know.

965
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 2: At a presentation for the Shield of the Americas on Saturday,

966
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 2: Trump said, quote, as we achieve a historic transformation in Venezuela,

967
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 2: we're also looking forward to the great change that will

968
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: soon be coming to Cuba. Cuba's at the end of

969
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 2: the line. They have a bad regime.

970
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 4: It is wild to see him just like I don't

971
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 4: want to be like, you know, like baby Ruth used

972
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 4: to point to where he's going to hit the baseball.

973
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 4: That's probably not the best analogy there, you know what

974
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 4: I mean, it is bonkers just to see.

975
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 5: They're very confident right now.

976
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they haven't gotten a serious pushback.

977
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 3: You know, we're starting to see gas prices rise, the

978
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 3: cost of living is going to rise. But we haven't

979
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 3: suffered any sort of major military loss.

980
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean eight Americans have died in the operations

981
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 4: against Iran.

982
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 3: Right, like, yeah, and I doubt Trump has noticed.

983
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 4: I mean, for him, that's not serious, it's not now,

984
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 4: but he seems to have literally shrugged it off, almost

985
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 4: impressed conferences. We did learn today that a great deal

986
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 4: more people suffered more serious injuries when we thought in

987
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 4: that particular dre striking Q eight. But there won't be

988
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 4: electoral consequences, right. I think that's one of the reasons

989
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 4: why they like these YEP astrike heavy, very light ground

990
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 4: footprint models. Yeah, because it's not Americans who.

991
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 3: Die, No, it's it's Iranians who are primarily dying. Yeah.

992
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

993
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 5: Shall we close with this brief discussion on proton.

994
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 4: Mail, Yeah, it's important, yeah yeah.

995
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 5: Yeah.

996
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 2: So last week four h four Media reported that the

997
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 2: end to end encrypted email service proton Mail quote helped

998
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 2: FBI unmask anonymous stop Coopcity protester unquote.

999
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 5: That is their headline.

1000
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 2: So what happened here is that in January twenty twenty four,

1001
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 2: the FBI cents authorities a mutual Legal Assistance treaty request

1002
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 2: for information tied to the defend the Atlanta Forest at

1003
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 2: ProtonMail dot com account. The FBI believe that whoever had

1004
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 2: access to this email would likely have administrative access to

1005
00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 2: the now defunct scenes from the Atlanta Forest blog, which

1006
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: posted sabotage report backs, calls to action, and some instructional

1007
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 2: information on possible criminal acts people could commit. After Swiss

1008
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 2: authorities verified the FBI's request, proton Mail was legally required

1009
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 2: to submit payment data which identified a name tied to

1010
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 2: the account.

1011
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 5: Through a credit card.

1012
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 2: Swiss authorities then forwarded that information to the FBI via

1013
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 2: the Mutual Legal Assistance treaty. This individual has not been

1014
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 2: charged with the crime, and no email contents were provided

1015
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 2: to either the Swiss authorities or the FBI. This is

1016
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 2: Edwards shown the head of communications for Proton quote. Proton

1017
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 2: only provides the limited information that we have when issued

1018
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 2: with a legally binding order from Swiss authorities. Which can

1019
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 2: only happen after all Swiss legal checks are passed. This

1020
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 2: is an important distinction because Proton operates exclusively under Swiss law.

1021
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 2: Proton accepts payments via cryptocurrency, cash and also credit card.

1022
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 2: If you use a credit card, we do have access

1023
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 2: to the payment identifier, which can be used to identify

1024
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 2: the credit card holder from the card issuer. We check

1025
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 2: all legal orders received from authorities, and we understood that

1026
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 2: a law enforcement officer was shot and explosive devices were involved,

1027
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 2: and we verified that Swiss legal requirements were met unquote.

1028
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 2: That's their main statement regarding the handover of this credit

1029
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 2: card information.

1030
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 4: This has always been my understanding of how proto mail works.

1031
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 2: They are a business, They are not an activist organization.

1032
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 2: They are a business, and Swiss privacy laws are stronger,

1033
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 2: and they would have not been able to hand over

1034
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 2: financial information identifying the person if this account paid in

1035
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 2: cash mailed to Proton or the a cryptocurrency, which would

1036
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 2: have been way more difficult to identify.

1037
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 3: Depending on the crypto.

1038
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 2: But yeah, I've operated many many proton mail accounts through

1039
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 2: the years. I've never tied any of them to financial information.

1040
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 2: You do not need to pay for most of the

1041
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 2: services that they provide, like I even have Proton VPN

1042
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 2: without paying for like the expanded VPN option.

1043
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've always been very clear that they're a Swiss

1044
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 4: based company and they comply with Swiss privacy law.

1045
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, this has happened before. They have responded to FBI

1046
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 3: requests before.

1047
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 2: I don't know how many OFFR requests they have responded to.

1048
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 2: I know they've responded to requests from other countries in.

1049
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 4: Europe, just one around twenty twenty.

1050
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 2: I know they've responded to French authorities about environmental protesters.

1051
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 2: The fact that's what authorities did send this information to

1052
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 2: FBI is newsworthy. This is notable, But this doesn't mean

1053
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 2: that Proton is getting increasingly compliant like this is from

1054
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 2: early twenty twenty four, following the standard procedure via the

1055
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 2: Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty. And importantly, the actual end to

1056
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 2: end email contents were not given because Proton themselves don't

1057
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 2: even have access to those.

1058
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and for clarity, Proton has given info to the

1059
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 3: FBI before. I found a case back in twenty twenty

1060
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 3: to where the FBI was able to get data on

1061
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 3: a US Proton mail user who was being investigated for harassment.

1062
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 3: They responded in twenty twenty one to six nine hundred

1063
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 3: and ninety five legal orders and complied with about six

1064
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 3: thousand of them, and twenty twenty one it was about

1065
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 3: five thousand, and twenty twenty about three thousand. I think

1066
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 3: this generally reflects the rate at which Proton has grown,

1067
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 3: rather than them becoming more likely to respond to these requests.

1068
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and by responding to the requests, that doesn't really

1069
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 2: give us a good insight into what they're actually responding with, right.

1070
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's the other thing, right, Like this person's

1071
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 4: email inbox was not opened to the FBI.

1072
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 3: That is a different thing, very important.

1073
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 5: There was the name linked to their credit card.

1074
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, like you said, this is reportable. But

1075
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 4: it was a little over sold in the headline. I

1076
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 4: know ify one does that these days.

1077
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's good for people to understand how Proton

1078
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 2: actually works as like a privacy email. Yes, yes, and

1079
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 2: they're not they are not an activist group, but that

1080
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 2: is an important sanction. They are a Swiss business that

1081
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: will follow the law. And if you understand how to

1082
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 2: use Proton as a service to maximize your privacy, then

1083
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 2: it can be a very useful service, but it will

1084
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 2: not protect you in every way.

1085
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 5: If you're handing them over.

1086
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 2: Payment information or information tied to your name that is

1087
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 2: not encrypted, that can open the possibility of an account

1088
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 2: being identifiable.

1089
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I know a lot of people had contacted

1090
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 4: me about a proton mail address, Like, hopefully now you

1091
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,720
