In this episode, I discuss the controversial world of public figures and global conflicts. First, I unpack Michael Knowles' apparent defense of Andrew Tate, scrutinizing whether Tate’s actions can be dismissed as he is a mere victim of his own addictions. Next, I tackle the Signal App controversy, spotlighting Pete Hegseth’s failure to take accountability for leaked information and the mysterious uninvited guest who crashed the conversation. Finally, we turn to the escalating tensions in the Middle East, where Iran’s direct threats against the U.S. collide with Trump’s bold promise to bomb Iran like never before.

00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:11.720
Beny like you just let me in my way.

2
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:17.480
Welcome back, go to Blazes listeners, and today I'm flying solo.

3
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.039
No guests today we will have guests, though we will

4
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.920
continue to have guests. I hope you're enjoying our guest episodes.

5
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:26.839
I like having subject matter experts and just talking to

6
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.600
people who go out of their way to either make

7
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.159
a difference in the world or bring light to a

8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.479
situation that well we very well may have not been

9
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.759
aware of. And I like talking to these people because

10
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:43.759
I believe that you the listener also like listening and

11
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:49.520
hearing from these people. Listening to and hearing from well,

12
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.799
sometimes I don't put all the words together, but I

13
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.920
think point made right Before I move forward, I do

14
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.960
want to remind everybody, and I think those who have

15
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.159
done so already, but you use to support the show,

16
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.960
which many of you do, which I really do appreciate.

17
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:11.560

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.920

20
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:19.799
to our guests that have been a part of the

21
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.959
show where you can view a little bit more about them.

22
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.000
There's links to their information and if you choose to,

23
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.159
and I hope you do, and I appreciate when you do.

24
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.359

26
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:41.480
a coffee from my web page, which is world Blaze

27
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.400
podcast dot com, and you could donate to help the show,

28
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.000
help us continue to do what we do. With that

29
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.560
being said, I also want to address something since we've

30
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.159
moved our hosts. We stepped away from Sprecker for various

31
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:58.079
reasons and we are now hosted on RSS, and I've

32
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:05.959
chosen to not insert the advertisements lately, just because I

33
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.360
felt it was a taken away from the show quite

34
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.680
a bit, especially with the type of content that we present.

35
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.560
And I'm not saying we will never have advertisements again.

36
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.479
Believe me, it will come at some point, but right now,

37
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.080
I just want to focus on the content and I

38
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.599
want as little interruptions as possible, which means that if

39
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.199
you do hear any advertisements in the future or sponsors,

40
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.280
what have you, it'll be worth our time, which will

41
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.400
also equal less interruptions, which means you don't have to

42
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.960
hear as many advertisements. But again, for now, I am

43
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:46.759
going down the road of for the moment, no advertisements,

44
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.759
but again they will return at some point, I'm sure.

45
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.520
I also want to thank many of our listeners. Look,

46
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.960
I want to address a few things. We've seen a

47
00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.680
crazy uptick and downloads from other nations in the world.

48
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.759
But before I move forward to recognizing those nations, I

49
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.680
want to really really make sure that Iceland knows that

50
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.000
I appreciate them. When I first started this, one of

51
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.280
the first countries, the first international countries, first countries in

52
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:20.560
the world that supported this show was Iceland. I was amazed.

53
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.280
I was like, wow, I got downloads out of Iceland,

54
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.280
of all places, and they continue to do so. In fact,

55
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.439
I've seen multiple downloads. Now I have trackers and software

56
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.599
and different things that we pay for that I could

57
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.560
literally see a map of the world. I have a

58
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.840
heat map that'll actually show me where your downloads are

59
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:36.800
coming from, so I know exactly what cities these are

60
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.520
all coming from, a general idea of the locations where

61
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.400
these things are being downloaded. Now I don't have your address,

62
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.960
and no I'm not going to stalk you, but just

63
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.080
saying I can see I can see the info. I

64
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:53.039
can see that there's activity there's activity in and around

65
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.680
certain areas. So I just want to appreciate Iceland by

66
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.599
thinking Iceland for continuing to support us and recently I

67
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:09.120
also want to absolutely think Australia and New Zealand. In fact,

68
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.960
New Zealand and Australia are now in our top ten

69
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.680
countries in which all of our downloads are coming from.

70
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.720
Number one is the United States, two is United Kingdom,

71
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.759
number three Canada, number four in our top ten Australia,

72
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.879
number five is Germany, number six is Sweden. Seven there

73
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.920
is New Zealand, number eight, Ireland, number nine Mexico, and

74
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:38.519
tenth on the top ten list is France. But making

75
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.759
one of the number one cities by downloads is Australia

76
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.160
and that is Sydney. And in the number five slot

77
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.439
of the top ten cities is Melbourne. So we got

78
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.319
two large cities out of Australia that made our top ten.

79
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.240
Thank you Australia and again special thanks to New Zealand.

80
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.399
And appreciate everything that you guys are doing out there

81
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.800
and supporting the show, spreading the word, and if you

82
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.639
haven't please share this show with others. And if you

83
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.240
haven't done this either, clicked the damn notification button. Look,

84
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.519
if you're already subscribing or following the show, you've got

85
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.920
to click the notification so you know when new episodes

86
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.959
are coming out now before you'll run out and do that.

87
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.120
And I half admit I skipped a week roughly, just

88
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:22.199
because we've been going through a few things. My other

89
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.199
businesses needed attention. One of my warehouses was recently broken

90
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.040
into and robbed to the tune of I think nearly

91
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:33.040
thirty grand. So far haven't counted out all the or

92
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:37.079
even acknowledged or found how much stuff has been missing,

93
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.240
but so far we found around thirty thousand or so.

94
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.839
I don't need your sympathy. I'm not. I'm not trying

95
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.120
to get you to feel sorry for me, just letting

96
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.399
you know, Hey, other things have been going on that

97
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:52.040
demanded my attention. But that being said, this episode's long overdue.

98
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.319
And yes, I will be addressing the signal messaging debacle

99
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:04.839
that involves Mike Waltz and Pete Hexseth, which I'll definitely

100
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.480
get to, but first I have I don't know if

101
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.439
I have a bone to pick with this person or

102
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.439
kind of disappointed, but listen, I don't usually call out

103
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:18.399
other podcasters or media personalities really often. I mean I do,

104
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.439
but at least not really often on this show. I

105
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.240
kind of save those antics and shenanigans for my other

106
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.759
show I do with my brother Random Thoughts with Manuel George,

107
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.000
and that's where we get a little bit more loose,

108
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.560
you know, kind of just talk shit, let things happen there.

109
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.720
But I was listening to Michael Knowles, and I can

110
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.279
good admit this to everybody listen. I do check in

111
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.000
with some of these guys in terms of listening see

112
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.240
see what's going on in their heads, get a little

113
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.639
little idea for the pulse of things. But I'm not

114
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.480
an avid listener. I'm not someone who goes out of

115
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.560
the way to listen to somebody like Michael Knowles or

116
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.040
Ben Shapiro or whatever flavor of the day of the

117
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.680
bastion of Conservatism is because I just honestly don't agree

118
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.560
with everything they say, and many times, or more often

119
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.560
than not, I find it to be quite mundane, monotonous,

120
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.800
and boring, to be honest, when it becomes of my Michael Knowles,

121
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.399
it's it's really he seems more like he's more of

122
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.839
a bishop of the Catholic Church than anything else lately.

123
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.759
And again, he's an he's He's not someone that I'm

124
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:28.120
here to to down. I am. I am bringing this

125
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.759
up because I'm just slightly disappointed, slightly disappointed, And I'm

126
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.560
not attacking his belief in Catholicism either, It's just, you know,

127
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.600
just the way he comes across. He's a highly intelligent person.

128
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:42.199
You can't argue he isn't. He's he's well read. But

129
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.839
his recent one of his recent episodes, he does put

130
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.680
them out quite often, but one of his recent episodes

131
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.519
I listened to where he was addressing Andrew Tait. He's

132
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.759
brought him up before, but in this particular episode, I

133
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.519
felt I felt like or it came across as if

134
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.519
he was kind of defending him in a way for

135
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.879
being a slave to his own sin, for not being

136
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.839
able to help himself, because it's just his character and

137
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.959
who he is. And I'm sorry, but that's wrong. I

138
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.199
got to call that one out because Andrew Tat is

139
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.800
someone that I've talked about before. My brother has shooting.

140
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.600
Almost everybody I know has at some point. He's Look,

141
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.600
he's a public figure. No matter how you want to

142
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:29.519
slice this, slice this up and try to digest it

143
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.480
and take it in. He's a public figure. He says

144
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:39.240
stupid shit publicly. He's just somebody who is in the limelight,

145
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.799
as they say, and so if someone has an opinion

146
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:46.000
about what he says or does, well then that's just

147
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:49.600
what it is. Everybody has an opinion because he's not

148
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:53.200
hiding who he is. And he may try to say, well,

149
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.399
you know, it's all entertainment and fun, but is it?

150
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.240
Is it really there? Andrew? And before I dive into

151
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.440
a little bit about what Michael says, because I'm actually

152
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.919
gona play clips from that episode and you'll be the judge.

153
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.399
And if I'm wrong, if I took this wrong, then

154
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.799
correct me. And if Michael gets wind of this, good

155
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:14.519
I really don't care, because I'm sure he's an amazing

156
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.399
wordsmith with a large vocabulary and probably could debate me

157
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.960
all day until I get tired and just say, fine whatever,

158
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.840
throw my hands up. But I'm not here to talk

159
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:26.080
about Catholicism. I'm talking about the fact, at least the

160
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.840
fact as I see it, and what you said and

161
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.519
what you said about Andrew Tate. And again, Michael, if

162
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.159
I misinterpreted, fine on me. But I'm still going to

163
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.039
address it. I still am going to address it, but

164
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.840
before I do so, I want you to hear a

165
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.440
little bit about Andrew Tate, because Andrew's going out recently

166
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.759
and just slapping lawsuits on everybody on social media who

167
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.240
has an opinion or says something about him, for you know,

168
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:57.720
the defamation, but defamation based on opinions that people have

169
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.600
made or come to make based on things that he

170
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:06.200
has actually done. And the argument Andrew always has is that, well,

171
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.120
it hasn't been proven in a quarter long there's no

172
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.399
there's no evidence against me. Well, yes there is, Andrew,

173
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.000
there is evidence. It's all over the Internet. It's everywhere.

174
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.679
It's from YouTube to I mean anywhere there's a video

175
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.440
format available, it's on x it's everywhere everywhere. You haven't

176
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.080
been banned anyway, and so you do have a body

177
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.759
of evidence, a body of work which people can judge

178
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.519
you by. And but you know, nonetheless, he's he's slapping

179
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.720
a lawsuit on everybody he can to try to get

180
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.360
them to shut up because he doesn't want to hear

181
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.840
the noise basically, and he's realizing there's nowhere else for

182
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:46.200
him to run and shut people out there. Look, they're

183
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.759
over it. They're over it. But here's here's here's a clip.

184
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.200
It's a compilation. It's kind of long. I mean not

185
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:55.399
play the whole thing. I may chop it up a

186
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:56.679
bit just so you don't have to sit through four

187
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.840
or five minutes of this. But here's Andrew in his

188
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.559
own words throughout the that teaches.

189
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.720
Basically how I got girls, how I met girls, how

190
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:06.480
I got girls to like me, How I got girls

191
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.080
to fall in love with me, to work on webcam

192
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.759
for me, because that's what I did. Was my mo

193
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.679
O was fine girls, make them love me and make

194
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.799
them work for me, and that's how I got rich.

195
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.000
So that teaches everything I know from start to finish

196
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.159
about not only getting girls, not only obtaining them, but

197
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:20.960
retaining them.

198
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.360
I used sex as a tool to make women love

199
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.120
me so they'd obey me and live in my house

200
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:25.919
and make me money.

201
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.440
That's what I wanted.

202
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.000
So I was a pimp in that sense, Like I

203
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.759
was not trying to have sex with women. I was

204
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.720
trying to get women to obey me. And I realized

205
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:35.279
that's easier if they like to.

206
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.399
Have sex with me. Because they don't like having sex.

207
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:38.960
With me, it's pretty hard to make them listen to me.

208
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.879
I don't mention webcam until after I've had sex with

209
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.039
the girl. You your boughtom bitch, the new girl you

210
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.840
go out for fucking a nice dinner. Your bottom bitch

211
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:52.320
is the one who does the selling. You don't do

212
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.759
the selling. The girl has to hear from a girl,

213
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:56.639
and this is where your boughtom bitch has to be trained.

214
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.679
So I said, it's so important to have a good

215
00:11:58.919 --> 00:11:59.600
first girl.

216
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.919
Far Andrew sounds like a winner, right. He doesn't sound

217
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.159
like anybody who would ever do anything wrong. He just,

218
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.639
you know, this just is who he is. It doesn't

219
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.919
mean he's actually carrying any of these actions out or

220
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.320
his beliefs out, and he's just maybe entertaining. He's doing

221
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.919
what he has to do to retain and maintain his followers.

222
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.679
Possibly maybe, But these are things that he has said

223
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:25.720
throughout the years repeatedly and hasn't changed. Cadence hasn't really

224
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:29.600
changed his view. But here's more.

225
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.240
But he didn't teach you in self defense.

226
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.519
Here's a little move when I grab you by your

227
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.879
neck and you start annoying me, trying to resist, and

228
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.519
I just pull and then I grab you by your

229
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.000
neck again. Then what the fuck you know doing?

230
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.679
Your face has collapsed and your fucking cheap bones broken.

231
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:44.000
You're gonna do shit but cry.

232
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.879
I guarantee I changed the way you look at sex forever.

233
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.080
You're gonna be fucking crying. I won't cry.

234
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.159
I bet you cry, bitch, I bet you fucking cry.

235
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.960
You're saying I wouldn't cry. You're challenging me to a fight.

236
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.919
You're saying I can't hurt you. You're got your fucking mind.

237
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.799
I didn't even have to fuck you forgetting a sex part.

238
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.320
That's a distraction. My dack can stay on my past.

239
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:06.639
I'll just start beating the shy.

240
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:11.759
So I mean, is it still performances? He's right here

241
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.759
again on another video that was recorded that he actually

242
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:19.440
really sends on social media platforms, where he's talking about,

243
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.320
you know, sex with doesn't matter. I'll just beat you.

244
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.840
I'll just beat a woman in submission so that well,

245
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.000
they'll do what I tell them because it's all about

246
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.879
making that money. Right. Okay, here's a little bit more.

247
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.600
If you don't believe me, here's his view on why

248
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.399
he would even pursue a woman.

249
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.519
I have tours, she obeys me.

250
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.320
I don't give a it about having some beautiful women,

251
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.360
so they listen to me so I can get what

252
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.559
I actually want, which is not them to means to

253
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:52.279
an end.

254
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.320
Every single Bond girl was exploited.

255
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.840
That's exactly what I do when I want your Bond

256
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.960
film and I see him basically pimp a bitch to me.

257
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.279
That speaks to my heart. I've been there, I've.

258
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.440
Done that, and you wone who's followed me long enough

259
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.480
knows that I first made my billion dollars through the

260
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.000
webcam business. I have met beautiful women with a good personality,

261
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:14.279
and dollshit will make me money.

262
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.360
I have to. I don't want to strive to need

263
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:17.799
the money.

264
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:21.559
Now, this clip is interesting because Andrew's always, or at

265
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:24.600
least lately, has denied how he made his money. Oh,

266
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.279
webcam business, that was just talk. I never really did

267
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.480
any of that. But in this clip he admits to

268
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.639
making his first million through a webcam business, even says

269
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.840
that if anybody has ever followed me, you would know this.

270
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.559
You know this is what I did, This is how

271
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:43.600
I made my money, this is what I do. Yet

272
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:49.720
we still have somehow conservative media personalities podcasters who defend

273
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.399
this guy who give this guy oxygen, so to speak,

274
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:58.039
in continuing to talk and host him, and they claim, well, hey,

275
00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:59.720
I have a right to talk to whoever I want,

276
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.720
just like anybody else. But none of them ever pushed

277
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.039
back on Andrew. None of them hold him to task,

278
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.279
nobody holds him accountable for anything because they're all afraid

279
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.840
of getting sued. They're afraid of Andrew just throwing a

280
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.039
lawsuit at him. But why would you have him on

281
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.519
a show if you're not going to challenge the controversy

282
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:21.679
in which he surrounds himself. Why would you not challenge

283
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.279
his statements that he's ever made instead of patting him

284
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.159
on the back and acting like he's a leader of

285
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.919
the free world, like he is somebody that that all

286
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.960
young men should look up to and aspire to be,

287
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.799
when he absolutely isn't. Hell, he even just came to

288
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.679
America finally they let him come here. I'm not sure

289
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.159
the complete details of why or how he was allowed

290
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.279
or whatever, but he left Romania, came to the United

291
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:48.080
States and immediately went on a podcast tour. He had

292
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.720
He's had his opportunity on Patrick Bett David, which I

293
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:55.600
am very surprised that he even hosted Andrew Tait and

294
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.200
during that entire episode didn't even challenge andw taint and anything.

295
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:00.600
You just kind of let them run his mouth and

296
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.960
they just all nodded their head as in agreeance, which

297
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.240
I think is horrible. You have canas Owen's who's who's

298
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.679
always supported him for whatever reason, saying, oh, he's just

299
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.559
a victim of circumstance. He didn't really do anything. They're

300
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:18.799
targeting Andrew because he's just Andrew. Well, that's bullshit, that's bullshit.

301
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.279
The evidence is out there, the evidence and how he

302
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.080
carries himself, the things he says now that may not

303
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.559
be physical evidence, but there are reports. There has been

304
00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:35.279
many people who've come forward that have spoken against Andrew.

305
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.679
And this is this is even before he is I

306
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.080
mean as famous as he is now. I mean he's

307
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.080
always been in the limelight, but he's let's just be honest,

308
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.360
he's probably more famous today than he's ever been. And

309
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.759
people have come out in fact, he couldn't even hold back.

310
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.279
Apparently one of his ex girlfriends while he was in

311
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.440
the US made a claim I'll just say alleged, but

312
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:03.080
Andrew Tate, his girlfriend Breestern is suing him for sexual assault.

313
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:10.480
According to her, he choked her during sex, he got

314
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.079
out of control, went too far, things that Tate always

315
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.920
says he doesn't do. How many people need to come

316
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:23.160
forward before we actually hold him accountable. Why do we

317
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.599
even entertain this guy? Sure, it's a free world. Sure

318
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.880
Tate has not been convicted in a court of law,

319
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.000
whether abroad or in the United States. But State of

320
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:39.039
Florida is investigating him now. The United Kingdom wants to

321
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:40.839
get their hands on him for things that he has

322
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:43.480
allegedly done in the United Kingdom and Romania where he

323
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:47.079
just went back. He went back to face the music

324
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:49.640
as he still stands firm in the fact that he

325
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.160
is somehow innocent. Maybe he is innocent, maybe he is

326
00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:57.799
is yet to be determined. And if he is innocent, great,

327
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.519
then he's innocent. But he needs needs to denounce everything

328
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.359
that he said and how he built his wealth, because

329
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:10.319
the messaging is either way not good, not good for anybody,

330
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.440
especially when you have young men who look up to him,

331
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:17.240
boys look up to him. This is not the way

332
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.200
to carry yourself, Andrew. But again, let's get back to

333
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.559
Michael Knowles. I did all that just so you get

334
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:28.960
an idea of this person. So Michael Knowles recently, I'm

335
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:33.160
not saying he's behind Andrew Tay one hundred percent, but again,

336
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.200
someone who has built their career on being a conservative

337
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:44.480
with very very stern roots in Christianity, who claims to

338
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:49.519
live their life by all principles of Catholicism, and Michael

339
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:52.759
very well may I don't know him personally. I really don't. Again,

340
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.000
I don't listen to the man every day. I check

341
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.160
in once in a while. I probably do what many

342
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.720
of you do. I bounce around and hear this person

343
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:01.720
that person here and there. But you know, I'm too

344
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:03.640
busy in my own life to give too many of

345
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.559
these guys my attention. And I have my own show

346
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:10.279
to worry about. So that being said, I'm gonna play

347
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:13.000
a little bit of what Michael Knowles says about Andrew Tate,

348
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.039
and I encourage you to listen to his entire episode

349
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:18.960
so that you can come to your own conclusion. I

350
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.960
think it was episode one thousand, seven hundred and three

351
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.000
if you want to look that up, labeled my day

352
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.039
at the White House with four Cabinet Members. And once

353
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:31.920
you get past listening to his pontification and how amazing

354
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:34.279
he is and how he is one of the many

355
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.759
few of the new media personalities to be invited the

356
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:41.799
White House. He does go on to discuss Andrew Tate

357
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.759
a bit, and I'm just going to play a little

358
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.480
bit of the clip from where he is, in my view,

359
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.519
kind of defending his actions because he's just a victim

360
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.000
of his own addiction.

361
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:58.039
This defense of that is when a video came out

362
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.039
of him hitting a woman and threatening a woman and

363
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:01.720
saying all the things that have come out in these

364
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:06.000
text messages, he says, Oh, we're just playing around. That's

365
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.160
our kink, basically, and I kind of believe him on this.

366
00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:12.799
He clearly it's one thing for a man to hit

367
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:17.519
a woman, that's horrific enough. But for a man to

368
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:20.720
text about how excited he is to hit a woman

369
00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:22.880
and you know, wait for the response back, that's clearly

370
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.200
a deeper kind of pathology. So that's why I'm speaking

371
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.960
about it, because I don't think anyone, including Andrew Tate,

372
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.559
would dispute the basic allegations of this case, or this

373
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:38.000
allegation or this claim that's just come out recently within

374
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.880
the last couple of weeks. The question is is it

375
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:44.039
is it good or bad?

376
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.119
Hold on. So is that the question, Michael, not not

377
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.960
the action, but whether it was a good or bad

378
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:51.000
action based on whether or not it was a kink

379
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.119
of his whether he just has a sexual preference for

380
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.559
choking and beating women. All right, let's continue this.

381
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.200
All in good fun? Or was this abuse? And I

382
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.839
guess my question is what's the difference. I've made this

383
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:09.079
point before. When people are really ironic all the time,

384
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:13.200
they're really ironic. Millennials are guilty of an extreme degree

385
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:16.759
of irony, and I think, well, if you're ironic all

386
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:20.200
the time, then I think you're just kind of earnest.

387
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:29.000
Okay, So is it okay because it's ironic. I'm trying

388
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:32.200
to understand here. I'm trying to understand, Michael, what exactly

389
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:35.079
is your point? See maybe I misunderstood you, ma'am taking

390
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:38.680
this wrong, But so far, I'm not quite sure the

391
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.079
point you're trying to make. And if you don't really

392
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:47.200
have a good point to make about Andrew Tate in

393
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.039
terms of whether or not this is good or bad,

394
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:51.839
then why speak at all other than to get downloads

395
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:54.559
and clicks and whatever, because he's such a controversial character.

396
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:59.079
But let's continue. Let's continue Michael Knowles's opinion, if.

397
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.880
You do something ironically all the time, then that's just

398
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:02.799
what you're doing, and that's just who you are.

399
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.400
And the story about Tate.

400
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:10.920
It gets to a much deeper political and spiritual problem,

401
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.400
which is he appears to be a slave to his

402
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:17.599
own passions. If this stuff is true, if the things

403
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.920
he's said in public are true, that he really gets

404
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:22.920
off on hitting women and feeling that he owns them

405
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:26.559
and branding them, putting his name and tattoos on their bodies,

406
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:28.240
If all these things are true, they obviously appear to

407
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.640
be true, then he's got a problem. He's a slave

408
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.119
to his own disordered appetites and passions.

409
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:40.319
Oh I see. So, even if it's true and could

410
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:42.359
be construed as wrong, he's just a slave to his

411
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:45.680
own appetites and desires. He's just a victim of his

412
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.000
own addiction. So therefore, what we should be sympathetic, we

413
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.759
should be more understanding, Like, what's the point we're making here, Michael,

414
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.359
I'm disappointed here. I mean, listen, you can listen to

415
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.680
the whole episode. You can listen to that whole section

416
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:00.480
which starts at about thirty two minutes, and it's in

417
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:02.839
so you can come to your own conclusion, because I'm

418
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:08.759
not here to beat up Michael Knowles here on a podcast,

419
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:10.160
by the way, he's not in front of me, so

420
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:13.400
we can't debate this. I'm not on his show, he's

421
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:15.759
not on mine. We probably never will be on each

422
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.039
other shows, which doesn't hurt my feelings whatsoever. But the

423
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:25.599
reality is there is an alarming, an alarming pattern of

424
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:28.279
conservatives kind of jumping to the defensive tape, and well,

425
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:32.519
Michael's not outright saying, look, his actions are absolutely fine,

426
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.799
because they're all just allegations. No, Michael does go on

427
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:39.759
to say, look, there's been a history here, A lot

428
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.599
of it may be true. It could very well be true.

429
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:44.319
It might even seem to be true based on his

430
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:49.920
patterns and his history, based on reports and you know,

431
00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:54.079
tweets and everything else that he's done. But goes on

432
00:23:54.160 --> 00:24:00.119
to justify what he's doing because hey, guy just says

433
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:02.880
an addiction problem. It's all just a kink. He gets

434
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.319
off on beating women because it gives them sexual gratification,

435
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:09.720
because it allows him to feel like a bigger person,

436
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:13.680
because he can control another and make them bend to

437
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:15.480
his will so that he can make money off of

438
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:20.440
their sexual abuse. All right, Well, maybe I'm off, maybe

439
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.839
I'm wrong in that interpretation, but Michael, we expect better

440
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.960
of you, especially since, let's just be honest, you know,

441
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:31.599
since Dan Bongino pretty much hung it up and he's

442
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:36.440
now Deputy to Record of FBI, everybody's turning to other podcasters,

443
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:38.880
at least in the conservative side, for who's the next guy,

444
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:43.160
who's the next leader, And so far, Michael's name has

445
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.960
been coming up more and more, and Michael Knowles has

446
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.279
become even more popular than he has been just because

447
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:54.759
of the void that was left by mister Bongino. Whether

448
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:56.920
you're like Dan or not, it's not really the question here.

449
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.240
It's just a matter of fact that Michael Knowles kind

450
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.880
of stepping into that void. And if that's the position

451
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.119
that you want to be in, Michael, and you want

452
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.200
to be the bastion of truth and light and Christian

453
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:16.200
morality and lessons, and you know, that's how you want

454
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:20.079
to project yourself and claim how other should live their life.

455
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:27.519
We can't be justifying people's actions, words, even messages, whatever

456
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:32.720
it is, that are based in abuse and hatred and manipulation,

457
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:38.799
because they just can't help themselves. Now, Michael does go

458
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:43.759
on to use some biblical references and continues to say,

459
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:46.400
how you know the weight of sin is a yoke

460
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:50.119
upon you and etc. Etc. And he does say, hey,

461
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:52.559
maybe don't do that thing that Andrew Tate does. Right,

462
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:55.599
So he's not coming to his full defense, but I

463
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:58.279
do feel like there's a bit of justification, like, oh,

464
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:02.680
poor Andrew, poor guy. He can't help himself. He's just addicted,

465
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:05.880
and if he just comes to God, all will be

466
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:08.759
forgiven and all will be right. And according to the

467
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.319
Christian faith, sure, sure, just come to God, everything's good forgiven.

468
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:17.519
But will humanity forgive him? I mean, I'm not here

469
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:22.279
again to any spiritual moral arguments as far as the

470
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.480
principles of Christianity you're concerned, But the reality is actions

471
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:29.359
and deeds have been done and this guy needs to

472
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.680
be called out on it. I mean, sorry, but let's

473
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:35.359
just stop supporting Andrew Tate. Let's just stop giving him

474
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:40.640
the platform to try to win hearts and minds over.

475
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:43.079
Or maybe we should give the platform just let him

476
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:46.799
talk and let him continue to expose himself. I don't

477
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:49.680
know either way. Michael, I expected more of you. I

478
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:53.680
expected that you would have been a little bit more

479
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.200
harsh or stern upon someone such as Anderwtaate who's in

480
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:01.799
complete contradiction contrast to what you completely believe in and

481
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:06.480
how you choose to live your life. But hey, Michael, again,

482
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:08.359
not here to beat you up. Just had to call

483
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:12.839
you out on this one, and it continued to do

484
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.920
the good work. I mean, listen, your show is doing great,

485
00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:18.640
and I'm sure you don't care what I have to say.

486
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:20.920
But I'm also not going to be one of those

487
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.400
people who just towes a line, sits down, and doesn't

488
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:27.240
call people out on their shit because well it needs

489
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:31.599
to be done anyway. Good luck to you, Michael, and

490
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:36.119
on your continued endeavors. Now let's move on to matters

491
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:42.000
of national security leaked messages, people who are included in

492
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:46.160
sensitive chats and conversations that shouldn't be included. And of

493
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:48.799
course I'm sure you figured out that I'm talking about

494
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:54.960
the Signal chat debacle that included Pete Hegseth, Mike Waltz,

495
00:27:55.799 --> 00:28:02.400
and a reporter from the Atlantic somehow. Well, so what

496
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:05.839
is signal Well, Signal is an end to end encrypted

497
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:10.440
application that has approved for communication, actually has been approved

498
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:14.200
to be used by departments in the government. It's an

499
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:17.480
application that has been used by our military. In fact,

500
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:22.480
many different organizations in militaries throughout the world from different

501
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:27.559
countries obviously territories, et cetera. And the reason that it

502
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:29.319
is used is because it's considered to be one of

503
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:33.440
the more secured apps outdoor applications. I can tell you

504
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:36.359
for a fact that, well, I have people who serve

505
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:40.319
in the military that I know personally, and the conversation

506
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:42.359
of this chat app signal has come up before.

507
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:42.599
I know.

508
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:46.799
The Marines use it. And while people question how and

509
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:50.240
why that Jeffrey Goldberg from the Atlantic was added in

510
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:57.000
this chat, it does happen. I've been told by various

511
00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.960
individuals who served in the Army and Marines and the

512
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:04.519
branches that they would somehow be included in chats in

513
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.599
signal that they don't feel they should have been included in.

514
00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:13.359
There would be newly enlisted people grouped in with officers

515
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:16.720
who are communicating and talking about various different things, and

516
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.880
now they may not all be necessarily sensitive secret information,

517
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:24.559
but definitely is an example of where not all individuals

518
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.640
should be in the conversation, but somehow have been inadvertently added.

519
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.720
So is Signal something that government officials truly do use?

520
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:35.119
Yes?

521
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:39.480
Absolutely. In fact, here is our Director of National Intelligence,

522
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:42.079
Tulsa Gabbard speaking of this herself.

523
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:46.599
The Signal message app comes pre installed on government devices.

524
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.319
In December of twenty twenty four, CISUS stated quote, we

525
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:54.000
strongly urge highly targeted individuals to immediately review and apply

526
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:58.559
best practices provided in the Guidance to Protect Mobile communications,

527
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:02.480
including consistent use end to end encryption, and they name

528
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:05.559
Signal as an app as an example of such an

529
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:10.559
end to end encrypted messaging app. Ideally, these conversations occur

530
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:14.160
in person. However, at times, fast moving coordination of an

531
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:18.839
unclassified nature is necessary where in person conversation is not

532
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:19.400
an option.

533
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:22.000
So there you have it. Tolsi goes on to say

534
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.200
that these these apps, or this app in particular, this

535
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.839
Signal messaging app is pre installed in government devices is

536
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.559
a recommended app to be used for when you can't

537
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.839
have those face to face conversations. But she does go

538
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:39.079
on to say that we need better guidance when it

539
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:44.559
comes to highly targeted sensitive individuals when it comes to messaging,

540
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:47.599
and you know when it comes to using this app

541
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:52.000
in particular, so there is kind of an admission that, yeah,

542
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:55.440
we can use this, but it's not recommended it it

543
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.599
could be a problem, and in this case, recently it

544
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:03.319
has become a problem. Pete Hegseth has gone on to

545
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.720
defend himself because why wouldn't he try to defend himself.

546
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:10.960
He feels that he himself didn't do anything wrong. So

547
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:14.880
the question has come up, you know, how did this journalist,

548
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:20.799
this editor of the Atlantic Journal or The Atlantic, how

549
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:23.680
did they get invited or how did Jeffrey Goldberg get

550
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:26.039
invited to the conversation? How is he added? So it

551
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.440
goes on to say, well, it was Mike Waltz, national

552
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.039
security advisor, Mike Wallas who did it. And then Mike

553
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:35.480
Waltz goes on to point fingers and go, it wasn't me,

554
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:39.920
it was one of my staffers. So heg Seth is

555
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:44.920
pointing at Waltz, Waltz is pointing at his staffer, and

556
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:51.640
nobody wants to take responsibility, which is ridiculous. I just

557
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:55.920
can't understand how when you're at this level that you

558
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:59.759
can come to the conclusion that you could just pass

559
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:03.039
the buck and not take responsibility, especially when it comes

560
00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:07.519
to Pete Hegseth. You are the Secretary of Defense for

561
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:12.319
the United States of America, one of the most powerful nations,

562
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.160
if not the most powerful nation in the world, with

563
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:19.640
one of the or really the most powerful military in

564
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.720
the world. You can't just pass the buck here. You're

565
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:25.640
the CEO, my friend, You're the one the buck stops

566
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:29.920
with you. You have to take responsibility. But instead he goes

567
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:33.960
on to blame the Shenanigans again, not on his staff

568
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.000
or anybody else, which he really should, and he should

569
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.720
just blame it on himself and take responsibility. He goes

570
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:44.440
on to try to discredit said editor reporter of The Atlantic,

571
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:49.279
Jeffrey Goldberg, by saying, this guy pedals in garbage. He's

572
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:53.000
nothing bored than a misinformation hack. Here's that clip.

573
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:57.200
Do share how your information about war plans against the

574
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.599
Heaths and Yemen was shared with a journalist and Atlantic

575
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:03.279
and where those details classified.

576
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:10.480
So you're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so

577
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.319
called journalists who's made a profession of pedaling hoaxes time

578
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:18.599
and time again, to include the I don't know the

579
00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:22.599
hoaxes of Russia, Russia Russia or the fine people on

580
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:26.000
both sides, hoax or suckers and losers hopes. So this

581
00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:28.480
is the guy that pedals in garbage.

582
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:35.119
Wow, Pete, not the response we expect from the Secretary

583
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:43.240
of Defense of the United States. What's the proper response here? Well, Pete,

584
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:49.720
I would say, maybe we have no words. We apologize

585
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:53.039
for this leak or alleged leak. We have no idea

586
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:54.519
how this happened. We're going to look into this and

587
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.799
make sure this never happens again. We take our national

588
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:02.240
security and security of our military that are out in

589
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:09.599
the field conducting operations seriously, and we will do everything

590
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:13.079
in our power to make sure that these secrets and

591
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:16.719
these communications never see the light of day outside of

592
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:23.239
anyone who is authorized to do so. That's it. Something

593
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.360
similar to that. I mean, I know it's not perfect,

594
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:27.400
and write it out and polishit. That was on the

595
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:28.719
fly here, just off the top of my head. And

596
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:31.800
if I can do that, I'm very sure that Pete hegsit,

597
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:34.440
is more than capable of making an even better response.

598
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:39.199
That is acceptable, and he needs to apologize. He needs

599
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:40.920
to apologize. The other thing he needs to do is

600
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:43.639
just shut the fuck up. Listen, Pete, you fucked up

601
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:46.639
your department fucked up. There's no other defense other than

602
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:48.920
I'm sorry, we fucked up. We're not going to do

603
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:50.559
it again. We're going to make sure that we make

604
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:55.039
sure that this never happens again. Period. Now we can

605
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:58.559
argue whether or not this was top secret information that

606
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:02.119
is mute that point, it doesn't matter because the reality

607
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:06.559
is the messages have been leaked. There are times Pete

608
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:09.880
Hex's team update time now eleven forty four Eastern weather

609
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.519
is favorable. Just confirmed with Sentcom we are a go

610
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:16.320
for mission launch. Okay, well, look, maybe this is no

611
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:20.639
longer a secret, but maybe it is. Look, if an

612
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:24.639
unauthorized individual was invited to the party in this conversation,

613
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:28.599
could he have easily talked about this at the time

614
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:31.360
that this was happening. How fast do you think that

615
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:35.639
that message could have spread to where all of a sudden,

616
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:39.400
it's like, hey, attack is happening. Now, get ready, make

617
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:43.480
sure that everything is prepared and that nobody is there,

618
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:45.400
and that we don't take any casualties, or we can

619
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.679
come up with countermeasures right away. Now, there's there's a

620
00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:51.960
screenshot here that I have. Look, you can search social

621
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:56.599
media everywhere for this. It's been leaked. Goldberg has also

622
00:35:56.679 --> 00:36:00.000
leaked these things. I don't even know if it's actually

623
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:02.280
in the Atlantic in a release, but he's spoken about

624
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:05.480
it and he's released some of the information. And I

625
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:07.840
also got to call out Goldberg here. Look, Jeffrey Goldberger,

626
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.159
you're not clear you knew you were not supposed to

627
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:13.360
be a part of this. Wouldn't you, as an American citizen,

628
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:17.480
someone who's concerned for the safety of America, its militaries

629
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:21.760
and others. Shouldn't you have chimed in and said, wehlla,

630
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:23.280
wait a minute, guys, I don't think I should be

631
00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:25.760
a part of this conversation, so that they could have

632
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:29.679
been aware and readjusted, and maybe you could have excused yourself.

633
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:33.280
But no, you chose to stay on the chat to

634
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:36.239
view everything you could, to get all the information. Because

635
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:40.360
the slimy, little fuck toard journalist in you couldn't put

636
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:43.840
America first either. You had to put yourself first. Because

637
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:48.800
what you did after the fact was say, well, hey,

638
00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:51.400
I'm not going to spread us around. I'm just I'm

639
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:53.719
just asking questions and blowing the whistle here. Look, we

640
00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:55.599
have a breach or something going on. Then later you

641
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:59.559
leaked more information about it because by then it was

642
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:02.679
deemed to not be classified info. Look, the action has

643
00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:06.079
already happened, the operation is done. So now are like,

644
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.559
you know what, whatever, here you go, guys, Look we

645
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:10.039
have a problem here, and now you're going on a

646
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:13.039
little bit of a speaking tour and getting interviewed about it. No,

647
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:17.679
because the slimy journalist in you who wants to click

648
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:21.679
some likes couldn't help yourself either. My opinion, my opinion, Jeffrey,

649
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.280
come at me. I don't really give a fuck. But

650
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:28.800
Peter heg Seth, mister, he says Secretary of Defense Hegseeth.

651
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.199
You need to do better too. You need to take

652
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:34.079
response of fucking ability. You need to apologize to the

653
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:37.239
American people. You have to realize that this is an issue.

654
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:41.119
You can't just discredit it because of you know, some

655
00:37:41.239 --> 00:37:44.920
journalists who claim to be a misinformation propaganist who was

656
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:48.880
behind various hoaxes that they reported to not be true,

657
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:51.960
was in on this, Like, you can't. There's no level

658
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:57.239
of words or operations of discrediting an individual you could

659
00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:00.159
take at this point, because you can't deny the information

660
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:03.920
that was leaked was not true because it happened the

661
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:08.320
operation happened. There are too many people involved that know

662
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:14.880
that these things happened. And so where you at, Peter. Listen, Pete.

663
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.199
A lot of people trusted you, a lot of people

664
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:20.840
were behind you being put into this position. Don't let

665
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:24.119
America down. You got to be better. You got to

666
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:28.519
be the guy that is not afraid to take the

667
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:34.800
brunt of the blow. You need to defend yourself, but

668
00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:37.800
you also need to realize when there has been a

669
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.840
wrong and you need to assure the American people that

670
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:42.760
you're not going to stand for this and it will

671
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:45.320
never happen again. But you didn't do that. You kept

672
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:49.320
digging yourself a hole by trying to defend yourself and

673
00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:53.760
discredit others for the incident, when in reality, the buck

674
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:56.440
stops with you, my friend, you are the guy who

675
00:38:56.559 --> 00:39:01.960
needs to speak up and needs to right the ship

676
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:08.880
and correct the error. Period. Do that, Shut your fucking mouth,

677
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:15.840
move forward, and all should be well. All should be well,

678
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:20.679
but correct the mistake and don't ever make it again.

679
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:26.039
Now let's move on to other matters of concern. Tensions

680
00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:30.639
are rising globally over various conflicts between various nations, and

681
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:34.199
of course, the US is involved. In most of them,

682
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:38.440
as people expect the US to offer their support. But

683
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:44.280
let's talk about another issue that has come to light

684
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:47.440
that is escalating, and that is one between the US

685
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:54.679
and Iran. So Iran refuses to negotiate and come to

686
00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:59.159
a deal on its nuclear program. You see, there has

687
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:03.880
been a long standing deal or at least there has

688
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:08.880
been some sort of arrangement regarding Iran's nuclear program ever

689
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:12.000
since I think it was the eighties or late seventies,

690
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:17.800
somewhere in there, when the Islamic regime change happened, the

691
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:23.360
extreme Islamic regime change anyway, So here we are, and

692
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:26.480
today Iran's like, no, no, no, you know, we're not

693
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:28.920
going to comply. We're not going to do anything to

694
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:33.039
make a deal with the United States of America. And

695
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:38.719
the more recent agreement I believe was penned in twenty fifteen,

696
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:40.840
and I believe every so many years we're kind of

697
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:45.039
just check in on this agreement. But the whole premise is, look,

698
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.840
we don't want or most of the world doesn't want

699
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:56.320
Iran to develop nuclear weapons. They want to limit their

700
00:40:56.360 --> 00:41:01.960
nuclear capabilities. Why well, because most of the world believes

701
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:06.559
that Iran is crazy enough to just use them, just

702
00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:10.119
willy nilly, like, hey, we're going to use this nuclear

703
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:15.000
weapon because we can now. The original well not the original,

704
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:18.239
but the agreement back that was finally in twenty fifteen

705
00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:23.159
was you know, between five permanent members of the United Nations.

706
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:26.159
So there's China, France, Russia, the UK, and the US.

707
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:28.360
I think it was US and Germany together on this,

708
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:32.800
and it also involved other members of the European Union.

709
00:41:33.079 --> 00:41:37.239
So most of the world really wants to keep Iran's

710
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:42.199
nuclear weapons capabilities under control, which at the time included

711
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.199
China and Russia. Now I don't know if China's changed

712
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:48.679
their tune lately, but while China does look to keep

713
00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:54.320
their partnership with Iran solidified and continue to make money

714
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:59.039
with Iran and improve their efforts in commerce between the

715
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.199
two countries, even China knows that it Ran may just

716
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:04.920
be crazy enough to use nuclear weapons. Now, China's a

717
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:07.840
nuclear power, so is Russian, so is the US. And

718
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:10.840
for the most part, while the US and China may

719
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:13.559
disagree and we don't like each other, and everybody thinks

720
00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:19.199
Russia is dangerous country ran by a tyrannical, murderous dictator

721
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:25.400
or authoritarian presence in Vladimir Putin. The reality is all

722
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:31.440
these countries, China, US and Russia are using nuclear warheads

723
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:34.239
and nuclear weapons as more of a deterrent to keep

724
00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:36.360
things from getting out of control, because it's like, hey,

725
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:37.920
you got a big dick. I got a big dick. Look,

726
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:39.719
we all got big dicks. We're all swinging seven to

727
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:41.679
ten entries here. What are we doing? Do we really

728
00:42:41.719 --> 00:42:43.440
want to do this? Do we really want to start

729
00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:46.800
going to war on a very nuclear level here? Do

730
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:47.480
we want to do that?

731
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:48.159
No?

732
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:52.239
No, we don't. We don't. But Iran seems to not

733
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:54.079
be able to be trusted when it comes to this.

734
00:42:54.599 --> 00:43:00.119
So fast forward and here we go. Trump is, I

735
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:01.400
had to come to the table with Iran to make

736
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:06.119
a deal, a deal that would minimize or take away

737
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:09.400
sanctions on Iran so that they're able to trade openly

738
00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:13.239
on all the markets, including that with the US. I believe.

739
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:16.599
But the problem is is Iran saying, nah, fuck that,

740
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:19.400
we're not doing that. We're not gonna do it, We're

741
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:21.039
not gonna comply, We're not gonna come to deal. We

742
00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:22.360
don't want to, we don't want to talk to you,

743
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:23.960
we don't want engage with you. We don't care. We're

744
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:27.559
gonna do our own thing. We do not comply, We

745
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:30.800
don't give a damp And Iran's a sovereign nation, they

746
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:33.599
have a right to do whatever they want, and so

747
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:38.280
Trump has threatened Iran. Reading from Reuters a report least

748
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:42.840
March thirtieth, Washington March thith, US President Donald Trump threatened

749
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:46.119
Iran on Sunday with bombing and secondary tariffs if Tehran

750
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:50.440
did not come to an agreement with Washington over snuclear program,

751
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:54.280
and Trump's first from mark since Iran rejected direct negotiations

752
00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:58.440
with Washington last week. He told NBC News that US

753
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:02.199
and Iranian officials were talking, but did not elaborate. Trump

754
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:04.840
goes on to say and is quoted saying that if

755
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.760
they don't make a deal, there will be bombing. Trump

756
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:10.920
said in a telephone interview, it will be bombing the

757
00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:16.679
likes of which they have never seen before. And so

758
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:21.800
Iran has responded this. Coming from the Telegraph, it says

759
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:25.480
that Iran has warned that it will target British forces

760
00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:28.519
in the Chagos Islands if Donald Trump attacks the Middle

761
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:32.800
Eastern nation. After mister Trump threatened military actions against the

762
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:35.079
regime if it did not make a deal with the

763
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:38.599
US over its New Year program. A senior Irenian military

764
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:42.360
official told The Telegraph that Tehran would strike the joint

765
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:47.119
US UK naval base on Diego Garcia in response to

766
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:50.480
any US attack. There will be no distinction in targeting

767
00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:54.079
British or American forces if Iran is attacked from any

768
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:57.000
base in the region or within the range of Iranian missiles.

769
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:01.079
He added, when the time comes, it won't matter whether

770
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:05.000
you're an American, British or Turkish soldier. You will be

771
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:10.920
targeted if your base is used by Americans. Iranian state

772
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:13.880
media said that Tehran would strike the Diego Garcia facility

773
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:17.719
with ballistic missiles and suicide drones and retaliation for any

774
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:21.559
US hostile action against the Iranian nation. It warned, Iran

775
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:24.800
possesses adequate weapons for such an attack from its mainland,

776
00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:29.559
such as newer versions of the Kora Mashir. I can't

777
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:32.400
even pronounce it correctly, but anyway, certain newer versions of

778
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:36.800
this missile that have in an intermediate range, and the

779
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:41.239
shah Head one thirty six B Kamakazi drone with a

780
00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:45.280
range of four thousand kilometers. So there you have it.

781
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:50.320
Iran is putting their foot down. They're threatening the US directly,

782
00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:53.519
and I get it. They don't want to be under

783
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:55.440
the US's thumb. They're a sovereign nation. They have a

784
00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:59.880
right to control themselves, their own programs, whatever. But the

785
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:03.960
US isn't the only nation concerned with Iran's capabilities if

786
00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:07.840
they develop a nuclear weapon. The world is concerned. We

787
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:10.440
know that Iran will wipe Israel off the face of

788
00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:13.639
the earth that they can, and they've already said they're

789
00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:16.079
not gonna make any distinction against any country. I mean,

790
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:18.000
they're gonna use the US as an excuse, but it

791
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:20.800
sounds like they just want to start going to war

792
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:26.599
with somebody. Now, can we afford this war? Can anybody

793
00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:30.119
afford another large scale war in the Middle East? In fact,

794
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:33.239
I have a feeling that if this happens, if this

795
00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:37.559
pops off as they say, that this will be a

796
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:41.119
very large scale war in Middle East that can drag

797
00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:45.760
in Russia and China. See, the tensions here are real

798
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:51.199
because both Russia and China are allies of Iran. And

799
00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:54.559
if that's not enough, China is an ally of Russia.

800
00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:57.880
Russia is still fighting Ukraine. We still can't come to

801
00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:05.079
a deal there and France are completely supporting Zelenski, and

802
00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:08.079
we may very well be dragged into a war there

803
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:11.239
as well, if anything to back up our allies and

804
00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:17.760
quite possibly save their ass. Maybe I'm not gonna take

805
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:21.159
anything away from the United Kingdom or from France, but

806
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:27.159
let's just be honest. Russia is a formidable force. But

807
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:29.639
if all of Europe stands together, they may have a chance.

808
00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:31.360
But in the end, we know the US is going

809
00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:34.880
to have to step in, and the US rightly should.

810
00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:37.000
We need to protect our allies. We need to jump

811
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:40.039
to their defense, especially with such a major threat. But

812
00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:42.400
if that happens, then now we got to look at

813
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:45.960
China jumping in. Iran has already sent drones and other

814
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:50.000
capabilities to Russia and support of the war on Ukraine.

815
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:53.840
North Korea is also backing Russia currently with troops over

816
00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:59.920
there fighting against the Ukraine. So anything right now can

817
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:05.320
trigger a world war. And now Iran is saying, look,

818
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:10.400
we're not involved in this whole Ukraine debacle, and they're

819
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:13.920
not directly saying it, but just stick with me. They're

820
00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:16.920
not really involved in that directly, but now they're saying,

821
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:19.559
you know what, fuck you us, We're not going to comply.

822
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:21.360
We're not going to talk, We're not going to negotiate. We're

823
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:26.000
just gonna bomb you if you so much as dare

824
00:48:26.119 --> 00:48:30.440
look in our direction. We're going to bomb your allies

825
00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:34.360
and anybody who has a US base that you choose

826
00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:40.679
to use in attacking Iran. Now why is this such

827
00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:45.360
a big deal. Well, Iran uses proxies to attack the

828
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:49.599
US and it's allies in the Middle East. We're talking

829
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.960
the Houthis, for example, who have attacked merchant ships in

830
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:56.480
the Red Sea, and in response, the US has well,

831
00:48:56.519 --> 00:49:01.360
they've they've bombed or missiled the Houthis, and and Iran

832
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:04.519
has been vocal and all this, and Iran is now saying,

833
00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:07.840
you know what, We're going to start being indiscriminate and

834
00:49:08.199 --> 00:49:12.360
just bombing US bases and their allies that have US

835
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:16.920
bases if the US attacks Iran. And they're using this

836
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:21.760
whole nuclear program negotiation as the excuse. But we all

837
00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:24.239
know that they've just been itching to do this anyway

838
00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:27.800
and have been indirected doing so through its many terrorist

839
00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:34.880
organizations or their proxies. So Iran is at the point

840
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:37.320
now that they're making direct threats against the US. So

841
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:41.960
will President Trump follow through his promise. Is he going

842
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.760
to start bombing Iran? Is he going to indiscriminately go

843
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:48.039
after Iran and wipe them off the face of the earth.

844
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:52.599
How many innocent people will be killed in this exchange?

845
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:57.400
And what's hard about the Middle East from my understanding

846
00:49:57.400 --> 00:49:59.920
anyway outside looking in with many of these conflicts is

847
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:05.719
the terrorist organizations and groups who carry out these attacks

848
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:11.239
integrate themselves into society. They're so intertwined. It's hard to

849
00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:17.679
target them, and it's hard to attack them directly because

850
00:50:17.719 --> 00:50:22.800
they put themselves right into the general population because in

851
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:27.320
their mind they won't get blown up or attacked because

852
00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:29.719
they know that nations like the US would prefer not

853
00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:36.840
to go after and kill innocent civilians. So how is

854
00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:39.559
Trump going to handle this? I mean, we can do

855
00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:45.039
strategic strikes. We have the technology's capabilities to carry them

856
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:49.559
out very accurately, and we can use special forces to

857
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:55.440
target high ranking individuals in Iran. I mean, we've used

858
00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:59.159
the seals to take out Osama b and Laden. I'm

859
00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:01.880
sure that if the US really really really wanted to,

860
00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:06.960
I mean really wanted to, they can take out heads

861
00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:09.960
of state of Iran. I'm not sure what the right

862
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:12.719
move here is there's a lot of back and forth,

863
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:15.320
a lot of talk, a lot of posturing, but the

864
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:18.159
world is really a powder cake. I mean, think about it.

865
00:51:18.679 --> 00:51:23.760
We've got the Ukraine Russian situation where that I mean,

866
00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:27.960
we're just we're just a hair's breadth from walking into

867
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:32.119
World War three there. And now we have Iran popping

868
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:35.519
off over here in the Middle East, not that they

869
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:39.880
have ever been silent or peaceful necessarily.

870
00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:40.320
But.

871
00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:46.400
They're directly threatening the US and its allies. And then

872
00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:49.119
we got to still think about the fact that we

873
00:51:49.199 --> 00:51:51.800
got China over here, who is an ally of Iran,

874
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:56.360
an ally of Russia, and either of these conflicts can

875
00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:59.679
draw all three of these nations together around Russia and

876
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:04.000
China to come together to fight the United States and allies.

877
00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:11.199
Crazy times, crazy times. And I'm just delivering the information here.

878
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:13.199
I don't have an answer. I'm not in that position

879
00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:15.280
to give you an answer on what's right or wrong here,

880
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:17.960
But I want to make everybody aware of what's happening,

881
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:19.280
and I want you to think on it a bit,

882
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:23.880
because there is a real threat looming here that we

883
00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:25.880
all may have to face that I don't believe it

884
00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:29.360
is going to be landlocked. It's you know, it's not

885
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:33.360
going to stay local to any nation where the war's

886
00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:36.679
being fought. This may reach over into the United States

887
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:39.480
itself on our own soil, and we have to be

888
00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:43.159
aware of that and be prepared to be ready. There

889
00:52:43.159 --> 00:52:45.800
are people that are smarter than me when it comes

890
00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:48.119
to these things and making these assessments, but I have

891
00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:50.880
to go with my gut on this, and I have

892
00:52:50.920 --> 00:52:54.760
to say be ready, be prepared, stay vigilant, keep your

893
00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:57.159
head on a swivel, and don't be afraid to call

894
00:52:57.159 --> 00:53:01.119
things out if it just doesn't look right, Because I

895
00:53:01.159 --> 00:53:06.000
think we're under a real threat to our safety and

896
00:53:06.079 --> 00:53:11.880
security on our own soil, and we are definitely under

897
00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:20.199
a constant threat and security situation abroad with our allies.

898
00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:25.840
We're getting closer and closer to a large scale confrontation

899
00:53:27.079 --> 00:53:30.119
that for years everybody has been trying to avoid. And

900
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:35.840
maybe it's unavoidable. Maybe it's unavoidable, and I'm hoping that

901
00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:37.559
a lot of this is just a bunch of hot

902
00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:40.320
air and talk and posting. But you know, when you

903
00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:43.159
look at what's happening here and getting back to China,

904
00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:47.199
by the way, which who's increased their military exercises and

905
00:53:47.239 --> 00:53:53.360
bullying out in that Asia Pacific region. Plus you know

906
00:53:53.400 --> 00:53:55.719
what's going on again, as I said, with Iran and

907
00:53:56.119 --> 00:54:00.800
what's going on with the Ukraine Russia war. I have

908
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:04.880
a feeling that, I mean, this is just such, this

909
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:08.320
whole situation is literally a hair's breath, I mean a

910
00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:11.400
hair's breath Think about that statement. A hair's breath away

911
00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:18.360
from a globally catastrophic incident that will affect all of humanity.

912
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:21.119
And I hate to end this show on such a

913
00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:24.280
downer and such a down note, but we've got to

914
00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:27.039
look at the realities. We've got to be smarter, we

915
00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:31.400
got to be prepared, we've got to be able to

916
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:35.880
recognize the signs that may lead to our own downfall

917
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:40.719
and maybe that of the entire planet. I mean this,

918
00:54:40.719 --> 00:54:45.440
this is very scary times right now. And with that

919
00:54:46.119 --> 00:54:48.800
I will leave you and hopefully not leave you with nightmares.
