00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:10.090
 Welcome back to another world ablaze recorded this day

2
00:00:10.910 --> 00:00:12.250
 the 4th of May

3
00:00:13.590 --> 00:00:17.070
 2026 or as they say may the fourth be with you

4
00:00:18.150 --> 00:00:22.510
 Been gone a while. I apologize for that so that I know this is a bit of a late release

5
00:00:22.510 --> 00:00:28.990
 But I have actually been on a bit of a podcasting tour. I myself have been a guest on many other podcasts

6
00:00:29.930 --> 00:00:35.510
 Some are bigger than others. That doesn't really matter the fact that they're giving me an opportunity to speak on their shows

7
00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:43.570
 Is great. And honestly when those are made available, I'm going to share those with you and where I can I'll even include those

8
00:00:43.570 --> 00:00:49.090
 As a bonus episode on my own feed just so that you have access to the conversation

9
00:00:50.270 --> 00:00:51.390
 but again

10
00:00:51.970 --> 00:00:56.530
 Trying to stay on this apologize for the the bit of a break here

11
00:00:57.730 --> 00:01:01.770
 But even though I have been a guest on other shows. I

12
00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:04.110
 Am lining up great guests for you as well

13
00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:06.400
 So there's gonna be a you know still a

14
00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:12.050
 Mixture a smattering of both solo episodes with me as well as guests

15
00:01:12.050 --> 00:01:20.290
 But look for those guest episodes soon as they are released. I actually am recording with a few this week. So

16
00:01:20.290 --> 00:01:21.690
 Again, just be on the lookout

17
00:01:22.290 --> 00:01:28.890
 Some of these people are pretty much very very prominent social media figures like they have very large followings very large voices

18
00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:34.090
 I have an Intel expert another Intel expert, you know, I love my Intel experts, right?

19
00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:35.370
 I love the intelligence people

20
00:01:35.910 --> 00:01:41.210
 But another person has has agreed to come on the show. We're still working out dates right now. The man is very busy

21
00:01:41.970 --> 00:01:48.230
 Given everything he does. I'm not surprised but that person who cannot be named right now

22
00:01:48.610 --> 00:01:52.230
 I wish I could will be on the show, but I have another Intel

23
00:01:53.310 --> 00:01:58.350
 Expert coming on. So basically that's what you need to know. It's gonna be a great episode

24
00:01:59.690 --> 00:02:06.430
 That being said, let's let's also talk about let's also talk about the increase in listenership

25
00:02:06.430 --> 00:02:09.870
 Primarily what I've seen is a spike in some new areas

26
00:02:10.650 --> 00:02:16.030
 And I do want to give a shout out to Iceland again, it seems like we're growing there

27
00:02:16.030 --> 00:02:19.610
 They've shown on they're showing up on the radar again

28
00:02:19.610 --> 00:02:25.330
 As I've said a few episodes back, but it seems like it's getting more consistent and the amount of listeners

29
00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:30.370
 The amount of downloads coming from Iceland. Thank you very much everybody over there appreciate it

30
00:02:31.410 --> 00:02:37.570
 Vietnam is staying strong. They were a newcomer and they seem to be consistent as well

31
00:02:37.570 --> 00:02:39.890
 And here's a new one for me

32
00:02:40.710 --> 00:02:46.270
 This has never been consistent for me, by the way, but Japan Japan came out of nowhere

33
00:02:47.470 --> 00:02:54.410
 Very significant downloads out of Japan. Thank you so much. Not sure what sparked that but I will take your listenership

34
00:02:54.410 --> 00:03:00.650
 I will take your support and I hope that I continue to deliver on whatever it is that attracted you to the show in the

35
00:03:00.650 --> 00:03:06.310
 First place, but thank you very much. So there is a nod to Japan as well and

36
00:03:06.890 --> 00:03:11.150
 Outside of that listen everybody. Thanks for for for supporting the show. I want to remind everybody

37
00:03:11.150 --> 00:03:12.670
 I'm trying to grow my sub stack

38
00:03:12.670 --> 00:03:17.770
 So if you have a sub stack account if you're on sub stack remember to follow me

39
00:03:17.770 --> 00:03:22.310
 My handle is at Fonsa Blaze pretty much the same thing as says down here, you know on the ticker

40
00:03:22.310 --> 00:03:29.750
 Right down there pretty much everything's at Fonsa Blaze. So if you follow me on sub stack, I

41
00:03:29.750 --> 00:03:32.890
 Will appreciate it. I am

42
00:03:32.890 --> 00:03:39.810
 Contributing more articles more written articles some of them were assessments or basically like a look back on an episode

43
00:03:39.810 --> 00:03:46.090
 I recorded with a guest and it's my reflection on that particular episode. So I'm trying to do more of those

44
00:03:46.090 --> 00:03:51.790
 I've already started so be on the lookout for more articles more assessments and written form on

45
00:03:52.650 --> 00:03:58.010
 Sub stack if you're not following me on X, I don't know why it makes no sense because hey if you're into politics

46
00:03:58.010 --> 00:04:02.790
 I'm sure you're on X again handles at Fonsa Blaze. I am on Instagram and

47
00:04:03.850 --> 00:04:08.630
 A new one for me. I I'm not very not very big on this whatsoever

48
00:04:08.630 --> 00:04:12.650
 But I have been contributing shorts and whatnot to tick-tock

49
00:04:12.650 --> 00:04:16.570
 So if you're on tick-tock again same thing at Fonsa Blaze

50
00:04:16.570 --> 00:04:20.390
 so my handles pretty much the same on all the social medias at Fonsa Blaze and

51
00:04:22.430 --> 00:04:25.680
 And before before I get going I want to I want to

52
00:04:26.890 --> 00:04:32.830
 See this cup here. It's filled with something good. It's it's of course. It's coffee. That's what I drink. Come on you silly

53
00:04:33.630 --> 00:04:38.530
 This is this is Colocum craft coffee though. So the owners Bill and Dana

54
00:04:39.410 --> 00:04:41.370
 we're very kind and

55
00:04:42.570 --> 00:04:45.750
 we've been talking back and forth and

56
00:04:45.750 --> 00:04:51.850
 They wanted to send me a sample say hey, you know, let me know if you like the coffee because

57
00:04:52.630 --> 00:04:53.150
 They

58
00:04:53.750 --> 00:04:57.210
 I'll just say this they they pride themselves on

59
00:04:58.150 --> 00:04:59.730
 the quality of their coffee

60
00:05:00.530 --> 00:05:06.970
 They pride themselves on integrity and and they're not looking for a handout in terms of relationship with with anybody

61
00:05:06.970 --> 00:05:13.550
 Especially me, you know, they're like look if we're going to do anything together and by the way, it still isn't finalized

62
00:05:13.550 --> 00:05:16.250
 So I'm not saying that we're in some kind of sponsorship agreement

63
00:05:16.250 --> 00:05:21.630
 This is just me giving a big shout out and a thank you. So let's not get ahead of ourselves

64
00:05:22.290 --> 00:05:28.190
 The conversation I had was basically look before before we do anything here. I want you to taste our coffee

65
00:05:28.190 --> 00:05:30.370
 You have to actually like it before

66
00:05:30.370 --> 00:05:34.510
 We can come to any agreement because the reality is I get it

67
00:05:34.510 --> 00:05:41.710
 Like why would you want someone to endorse your product if they truly haven't used it or in this case, you know?

68
00:05:42.650 --> 00:05:45.490
 Drank it sipped it made a pot or two, right?

69
00:05:46.510 --> 00:05:51.350
 But I'm gonna tell you this Colocum craft coffee. They're out of Washington Colocum Washington

70
00:05:52.110 --> 00:05:54.410
 And I'm just gonna say this

71
00:05:54.410 --> 00:05:56.850
 It literally is some of the best coffee. I've ever had

72
00:05:56.850 --> 00:06:02.170
 This is not a lie and the package that Bill sent me Bill and Dana sent it was was ridiculous

73
00:06:02.170 --> 00:06:07.210
 I I thought it was like a sample, you know, like those sample bags. I

74
00:06:07.210 --> 00:06:13.990
 Think they sent me like a half pound or whatever of every dang blend that they make or every roast and

75
00:06:15.310 --> 00:06:20.890
 I mean damn I did not expect that but I appreciate it guys and I'm gonna tell you what I've tried every single blend

76
00:06:20.890 --> 00:06:26.330
 And so far I can say the consistency is crazy. The quality is great

77
00:06:27.230 --> 00:06:32.690
 And it's really like some of the lowest acidic coffee. I've had

78
00:06:33.070 --> 00:06:38.510
 Regardless of bean whether it's Guatemalan Peruvian Brazilian Ethiopian. It doesn't matter

79
00:06:38.510 --> 00:06:43.150
 Whatever process they're using there or wherever they get the beans whatever whatever the case is

80
00:06:43.650 --> 00:06:50.870
 The quality control that they have and what they deliver has been consistent every single roast is is

81
00:06:50.890 --> 00:06:53.330
 great in flavor profile and

82
00:06:54.430 --> 00:06:58.270
 Again, the acidity is extremely low which I was very surprised at

83
00:06:59.570 --> 00:07:04.730
 So anyway hats off to you Bill and Dana at Colocum craft coffee

84
00:07:05.250 --> 00:07:10.130
 And look, this is just me saying everybody if you like coffee, you know, I do I drink it on my show

85
00:07:10.130 --> 00:07:12.210
 Just about every time I have an episode

86
00:07:12.810 --> 00:07:18.210
 I'm gonna leave the link in the show notes if you're watching the video portion of this, you know, obviously

87
00:07:18.210 --> 00:07:20.650
 You're gonna see up on the screen

88
00:07:21.190 --> 00:07:25.650
 Their website etc, but support Colocum craft do yourself a favor

89
00:07:25.650 --> 00:07:29.770
 Buy some damn good beans. These things are small batch

90
00:07:30.510 --> 00:07:34.870
 Produced they're high quality and they do a very very good job

91
00:07:34.870 --> 00:07:40.630
 So you're not gonna be disappointed if you're a coffee lover, you're gonna love Colocum craft coffee. And again

92
00:07:40.630 --> 00:07:46.910
 This is me just saying hey, thank you Bill and Dana. Appreciate the coffee. I really am a fan the stuffs great

93
00:07:46.910 --> 00:07:51.810
 So there you go everybody so support Bill and Dana at Colocum craft coffee. All right

94
00:07:52.950 --> 00:07:55.930
 So as far as the show goes, let's go ahead and move on with the show here

95
00:07:57.270 --> 00:08:02.090
 I'm gonna do something. I'm gonna be honest. I'm tired talking about is Iran. We got to talk about Iran

96
00:08:02.090 --> 00:08:09.070
 It's not going away, right? I I have given so many assessments based on much much detail

97
00:08:09.070 --> 00:08:13.150
 lots of detail I'm doing deep dives in this thing giving you lots of facts in data and

98
00:08:13.150 --> 00:08:20.310
 You know what whether you like it or not doesn't matter I mean facts are facts right I've always said facts don't care about your feelings

99
00:08:21.170 --> 00:08:24.370
 I wish the people commenting on social media about my posts

100
00:08:24.370 --> 00:08:30.370
 Or short videos would understand that because regards of how mad you are at me for presenting the facts

101
00:08:30.370 --> 00:08:33.530
 It just doesn't change the situation. So there's that

102
00:08:35.070 --> 00:08:37.049
 But we're gonna touch on that why

103
00:08:37.049 --> 00:08:42.330
 There's a few things I need to do first. I need I need to push back a little bit on a few

104
00:08:42.330 --> 00:08:44.250
 prominent figures

105
00:08:44.250 --> 00:08:46.790
 Dave Smith and

106
00:08:46.790 --> 00:08:52.530
 Tim Dillon Tim Dillon. Yeah. Yeah, so Dave Smith is constantly wrong as assessments

107
00:08:53.230 --> 00:08:58.410
 Let's just say he's half right. He's half right and Tim Dillon is uh, you know

108
00:08:58.410 --> 00:09:02.060
 His assessments and whatnot are always based on his feelings. So

109
00:09:03.410 --> 00:09:06.580
 I'm going to address them separately and

110
00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:08.840
 My presentations

111
00:09:09.520 --> 00:09:12.500
 What's happening in Iran? So this is what we're going to discuss with the rob

112
00:09:12.500 --> 00:09:15.730
 We're gonna talk about the current state of Iran right now given the last

113
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.430
 Nearly two months of conflict or war or if you want to coin it with the US

114
00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:22.260
 and

115
00:09:22.260 --> 00:09:28.880
 Outside of the current state of Iran Rob was obviously going to talk about project freedom a little bit and

116
00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:32.720
 I'm going to touch on something else that no buddy

117
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.950
 Nobody that I know of anyway, I haven't heard

118
00:09:34.950 --> 00:09:41.930
 Has discussed when it came to the control that Iran allegedly supposedly

119
00:09:41.930 --> 00:09:47.770
 Maybe legally but not really has over controlling the straight of Hormuz

120
00:09:48.450 --> 00:09:50.630
 because truth be told

121
00:09:51.170 --> 00:09:53.310
 It's supposed to be a joint

122
00:09:53.310 --> 00:09:56.550
 Junt excuse that joint

123
00:09:57.610 --> 00:10:01.950
 Custodial relationship between Iran and Oman

124
00:10:02.690 --> 00:10:06.990
 Because a lot of people don't even realize that the major shipping lanes

125
00:10:09.190 --> 00:10:11.330
 Primarily actually travel through

126
00:10:13.290 --> 00:10:15.330
 Oman's territorial waters

127
00:10:16.690 --> 00:10:17.290
 so

128
00:10:18.230 --> 00:10:25.410
 Basically, does Iran have a right to control the straight? Hmm. Are they literally have they been all these years the

129
00:10:26.310 --> 00:10:26.910
 aggressor

130
00:10:26.910 --> 00:10:31.750
 Do they do they have any real claim or or they have any real?

131
00:10:32.670 --> 00:10:37.470
 Legal claim to the control of the straight interesting questions, right?

132
00:10:38.810 --> 00:10:41.730
 We're gonna get to that and do the best I can anyway

133
00:10:42.390 --> 00:10:47.570
 So that's something we're gonna discuss which nobody has brought up at least to my knowledge. They haven't

134
00:10:48.950 --> 00:10:54.770
 And then we're gonna get away from the Iranian war. Hey, yeah a little something different. Um, so there's been a few things

135
00:10:54.770 --> 00:10:56.770
 I haven't touched on

136
00:10:56.770 --> 00:11:03.930
 It's probably old news for you guys right but Southern Poverty Law Center, I have not discussed that haven't touched on it

137
00:11:04.470 --> 00:11:08.290
 So I'm I'm gonna discuss that for a little bit and then

138
00:11:08.290 --> 00:11:11.030
 We got two things that are interesting here

139
00:11:11.030 --> 00:11:17.670
 We're gonna talk and this has been on my desk for a while. I just haven't been able to discuss it

140
00:11:17.670 --> 00:11:18.930
 Well, that's not true

141
00:11:18.930 --> 00:11:22.710
 First off, let me just get to what it is. So it's about the

142
00:11:23.370 --> 00:11:25.960
 Vehicles that are going to be sold in the United States

143
00:11:26.370 --> 00:11:30.920
 Starting 2027 so any new model is gonna have

144
00:11:31.290 --> 00:11:32.670
 systems in place

145
00:11:32.670 --> 00:11:34.970
 which basically

146
00:11:35.990 --> 00:11:43.550
 Read your biometric data. We're talking about infrared cameras scanners voice recognition software

147
00:11:44.230 --> 00:11:46.390
 lip reading software

148
00:11:46.970 --> 00:11:48.970
 they're gonna be able to

149
00:11:48.970 --> 00:11:52.890
 Determine whether or not you're fit to drive there is the

150
00:11:53.530 --> 00:11:56.690
 controversial claim of a kill switch

151
00:11:56.690 --> 00:12:00.550
 That is basically going to be embedded into the vehicle

152
00:12:00.550 --> 00:12:05.890
 It's going to be able to tell if you have alcohol in your breath. For example

153
00:12:06.550 --> 00:12:10.390
 It will it will judge whether or not you're overly excited

154
00:12:11.110 --> 00:12:17.610
 Whether you're too emotional to drive etc. I know it's a lot of crazy things, but this is this is law now

155
00:12:17.610 --> 00:12:22.770
 It's been mandated and we didn't get the choice. We didn't vote on this. Not that I know of I

156
00:12:23.470 --> 00:12:25.270
 Never saw it never had the opportunity

157
00:12:26.170 --> 00:12:26.690
 but

158
00:12:26.690 --> 00:12:30.730
 Here you go. The government's looking out for you because they know what's best

159
00:12:31.930 --> 00:12:38.350
 So there's that kind of scary right here we are here we are in the age of governmental

160
00:12:40.310 --> 00:12:41.350
 control and

161
00:12:41.350 --> 00:12:45.670
 Here's another crazy thing. So there's patents. This is another another subject here

162
00:12:47.110 --> 00:12:50.770
 There's patents by Google I believe and

163
00:12:51.890 --> 00:12:57.370
 I think Wells Fargo. I'm not quite sure the tie-in but Wells Fargo has something to do with the patent portfolios

164
00:12:58.090 --> 00:13:00.490
 But there is a biometric

165
00:13:01.190 --> 00:13:01.750
 aerosol

166
00:13:01.750 --> 00:13:09.490
 Spray, that's right a spray which has like nanoparticles or nanometals that will be able to

167
00:13:09.490 --> 00:13:13.030
 penetrate your skin which will be able to

168
00:13:13.030 --> 00:13:15.650
 Read your face your heart rate

169
00:13:16.430 --> 00:13:16.950
 Etc

170
00:13:17.570 --> 00:13:20.290
 Something that Wells Fargo has thought about implementing

171
00:13:20.290 --> 00:13:27.150
 I believe it was going to be a way that they can use to identify someone for being able to use their service

172
00:13:27.150 --> 00:13:34.810
 Let's say like at an ATM or whatnot now this this is this is a little strange because

173
00:13:35.690 --> 00:13:40.630
 While the car thing right you can choose to buy a used car for as long as it can

174
00:13:41.850 --> 00:13:44.970
 But I think that one, you know, it's more like

175
00:13:46.450 --> 00:13:52.070
 It's more like you may have a bit more control as far as the Wells Fargo thing what they want to or try to do

176
00:13:52.070 --> 00:13:58.010
 And it's not just Wells Fargo. I mean, this is a technology that has been talked about being implemented by many others

177
00:13:58.590 --> 00:14:01.490
 But you don't see it. You're not really aware of it

178
00:14:01.490 --> 00:14:08.390
 You can be walking through anywhere a security gate whatever and you may not even know you're walking through this aerosol spray

179
00:14:08.390 --> 00:14:12.650
 you may not know you have nanoparticles absorbed into your body or skin and

180
00:14:13.430 --> 00:14:19.170
 There you are and now instantly whether you're in a vehicle that is reading your biometrics or not

181
00:14:19.170 --> 00:14:23.590
 No matter where you go. There's a potential for you to be constantly monitored

182
00:14:23.590 --> 00:14:28.890
 scanned your profile updated your information recorded and

183
00:14:30.530 --> 00:14:35.830
 Yeah, so that's interesting so we're gonna get into that too and

184
00:14:35.830 --> 00:14:36.310
 And

185
00:14:37.650 --> 00:14:40.470
 Yeah, so it's it's gonna be a pretty packed show

186
00:14:40.470 --> 00:14:46.370
 I hope I can get to everything the way I want to definitely go try to stay on course and talk about it all

187
00:14:47.330 --> 00:14:47.810
 but

188
00:14:48.350 --> 00:14:54.210
 Let's go ahead and start with Iran. Let's talk about the current state of Iran. But before we do that, let's play a video

189
00:14:55.590 --> 00:14:56.070
 from

190
00:14:56.690 --> 00:15:02.490
 One of my favorite political podfluencers by the way podfluencer. I'm trademarking

191
00:15:02.490 --> 00:15:07.350
 That's my thing I came up with that and I've been saying it quite a bit and I know a few people trying to

192
00:15:07.990 --> 00:15:13.530
 Claim it but sorry, buddy. That's me podfluencer. You heard it here

193
00:15:13.530 --> 00:15:16.950
 I know you heard it here first or you read it one of my posts and

194
00:15:18.330 --> 00:15:20.430
 That's mine. So

195
00:15:20.430 --> 00:15:26.250
 Anyway, so one of our favorite political commentator podfluencers. Mr. War is bad

196
00:15:26.250 --> 00:15:28.750
 And there's always a moral argument Dave Smith

197
00:15:28.750 --> 00:15:31.550
 Was recently on Piers Morgan

198
00:15:32.590 --> 00:15:34.410
 And according to Dave

199
00:15:35.570 --> 00:15:43.490
 Everything that we're doing in Iran is going to be or is the largest US failure in history

200
00:15:44.150 --> 00:15:45.350
 You know

201
00:15:45.350 --> 00:15:48.330
 So what I want to do is this I'm going to play

202
00:15:49.190 --> 00:15:51.230
 Davey Boy Smith and

203
00:15:51.970 --> 00:15:53.910
 we're gonna move on to

204
00:15:54.890 --> 00:16:01.250
 Kind of debunking them a little bit or putting things into perspective for Dave because the thing with Dave is

205
00:16:02.770 --> 00:16:09.970
 I do facts and data like research like real research and

206
00:16:09.970 --> 00:16:11.790
 Dave Smith

207
00:16:12.350 --> 00:16:20.370
 Primarily relies on like the great Scott Horton's pseudo Prager you library of cherry-picked backs and twisted information

208
00:16:22.370 --> 00:16:23.050
 and

209
00:16:23.050 --> 00:16:27.930
 So there's that and anyway, let's go ahead and get to good old Davey Boy Smith

210
00:16:28.930 --> 00:16:32.190
 All right, here you go give this a listen not good

211
00:16:32.190 --> 00:16:36.910
 And I think that we're at this point Trump Trump is in between a rock and a hard place

212
00:16:36.910 --> 00:16:38.650
 And if you remember Pierce

213
00:16:39.290 --> 00:16:44.730
 About three weeks ago when Donald Trump gave his he gave a speech after the markets had closed

214
00:16:44.730 --> 00:16:51.170
 This was shortly before some of the more unhinged tweets of in threats and he had been signaling then that

215
00:16:51.970 --> 00:16:54.770
 Well, essentially he was setting it up to say hey listen

216
00:16:54.770 --> 00:16:58.210
 We don't really need the straight other people stuff flows through the straight not ours

217
00:16:58.210 --> 00:17:00.590
 And then he said it'll just naturally open up

218
00:17:00.590 --> 00:17:06.829
 It'll be a matter of time and other people other countries can he was basically signaling that we can walk away from this

219
00:17:06.829 --> 00:17:11.569
 With Iran still having control over the straight and who passes and other people can work that out

220
00:17:11.569 --> 00:17:16.930
 I think the major problem there and this is something that Marco Rubio just said in his interview yesterday

221
00:17:16.930 --> 00:17:20.790
 Excuse me on Monday that well actually we can't we can't walk away

222
00:17:20.790 --> 00:17:26.930
 If the status quo is Iran gets to decide who comes in and who doesn't and Iran gets to decide what currency they're

223
00:17:26.930 --> 00:17:31.310
 And because Pierce if we do that the reality is then this is a loss

224
00:17:31.310 --> 00:17:37.930
 Unlike any other loss in American foreign policy history even if you count Vietnam or Afghanistan or those as losses

225
00:17:37.930 --> 00:17:44.510
 I mean we didn't transform them from a relegated sanctioned crippled country into a global power

226
00:17:44.510 --> 00:17:50.270
 And if you control 20% of the world's oil, then you are by definition a global power

227
00:17:51.530 --> 00:17:52.170
 Dave

228
00:17:52.850 --> 00:17:54.970
 Dave sounds intelligent, right on

229
00:17:54.970 --> 00:18:02.430
 The surface the guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about makes a good argument based on whatever he's trying to

230
00:18:02.430 --> 00:18:06.770
 Convey to you, but let's talk about a few things there Trump never

231
00:18:06.770 --> 00:18:13.430
 Signaled to anyone that we can just walk away and the straight will work itself out

232
00:18:13.430 --> 00:18:15.770
 the point was that

233
00:18:16.890 --> 00:18:20.230
 We're doing this and we're involved in this conflict

234
00:18:20.230 --> 00:18:22.190
 even though

235
00:18:23.470 --> 00:18:31.410
 The the oil or supplies or whatever product it is that that comes out of the straight of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf

236
00:18:32.470 --> 00:18:39.910
 Doesn't really affect the US in terms of our needs right now. We both know that

237
00:18:39.910 --> 00:18:44.890
 Yes, Dave, even you I I know I know even Dave knows we all okay. We all know

238
00:18:44.890 --> 00:18:47.430
 That if oil goes up

239
00:18:47.430 --> 00:18:52.750
 Because those who do do rely on oil and products in that region if that goes up then

240
00:18:52.750 --> 00:18:55.350
 transport of goods go up and then it just

241
00:18:56.310 --> 00:18:59.890
 Exponentially raises the cost of everything all over the world

242
00:18:59.890 --> 00:19:05.030
 So yeah, that is understood and I think Dave has made that point and he's correct in that

243
00:19:06.190 --> 00:19:12.770
 But he's wrong in the assessment that Trump was signaling that hey we can just walk away and this isn't our problem

244
00:19:12.770 --> 00:19:16.770
 There's a bigger issue with Iran and there's a reason that we're there

245
00:19:16.770 --> 00:19:22.650
 That Dave doesn't understand because for him, there's always a moral argument and it's not our problem

246
00:19:22.650 --> 00:19:30.990
 but you literally have an evil regime who's bent on taking over the world and wants to topple the United States of America and

247
00:19:31.730 --> 00:19:36.550
 they've also signaled that they want to destroy Israel and I'm not gonna get into the whole Israel thing because

248
00:19:37.650 --> 00:19:45.150
 Everybody's doing every damn podcast. I was like, oh, it's Israel's fault. Israel is real Israel, you know

249
00:19:45.150 --> 00:19:47.330
 I'm not going there

250
00:19:48.110 --> 00:19:48.610
 Because

251
00:19:49.150 --> 00:19:55.930
 Yeah, it's just not worth it. It's just not worth it. And to me, it's just a cop-out. It's a non-argument. It's not a real rebuttal

252
00:19:56.470 --> 00:20:00.100
 I think it's a talking point people use because they don't know

253
00:20:00.590 --> 00:20:03.510
 Anything about the conflict they don't have any real

254
00:20:04.250 --> 00:20:12.150
 historical data that they can pull from because they didn't bother to do any research about the area and past conflicts and what's going on or

255
00:20:12.150 --> 00:20:13.170
 they enter

256
00:20:13.170 --> 00:20:17.290
 The intricate relationships in the region, no, they don't know anything

257
00:20:17.290 --> 00:20:24.810
 So their fallback is lost Israel's fault and we're only there because of Israel and I'm I'm not even going to keep feeding this machine

258
00:20:24.810 --> 00:20:26.530
 All right. I've already said enough

259
00:20:26.530 --> 00:20:34.610
 So if I'm just gonna say if you continue to think if you yourself absolutely think that this is all Israel and Israel's fault

260
00:20:35.490 --> 00:20:41.670
 Listen to me and if you're watching like me, you're wrong. Okay, so getting on to

261
00:20:42.490 --> 00:20:44.050
 Rebutting Dave Smith

262
00:20:44.910 --> 00:20:50.410
 This is not going to be or is not a failure of the US

263
00:20:50.950 --> 00:20:56.230
 There's there's a couple of things going on here that needs to be addressed, right?

264
00:20:56.950 --> 00:20:58.450
 But let's talk about

265
00:20:58.450 --> 00:21:01.070
 the state of Iran right now

266
00:21:02.750 --> 00:21:03.470
 so

267
00:21:03.470 --> 00:21:10.250
 Dave says that this is going to be the biggest failure or military failure

268
00:21:10.890 --> 00:21:17.210
 Ever for the US we're not achieving our objectives. Okay, and

269
00:21:17.210 --> 00:21:19.950
 There's a couple of factors here one

270
00:21:19.950 --> 00:21:22.570
 Before I get into it

271
00:21:22.570 --> 00:21:30.470
 Much of what Trump wants to do I think is based on time. I think Trump's plan was to overwhelm and

272
00:21:30.470 --> 00:21:32.510
 Force Iran to come to heel

273
00:21:33.530 --> 00:21:34.090
 within

274
00:21:34.990 --> 00:21:38.710
 Within a timeline. I think you want to get out of here or out of Iran in a month

275
00:21:38.710 --> 00:21:40.410
 It wasn't because he was afraid

276
00:21:40.410 --> 00:21:43.110
 See what he fails to understand is

277
00:21:44.050 --> 00:21:46.230
 Trump has a history and he said it many times

278
00:21:47.290 --> 00:21:48.790
 He does not

279
00:21:49.630 --> 00:21:54.950
 Accept the loss of US life. He does not accept the loss of

280
00:21:54.950 --> 00:22:00.490
 US soldiers and he doesn't want to get into a major kinetic conflict

281
00:22:00.490 --> 00:22:06.850
 I think what Trump wants to do is he wants to achieve policy through

282
00:22:06.850 --> 00:22:15.050
 Strength through posturing of military strength now, we all know that the US military is extremely

283
00:22:15.050 --> 00:22:16.670
 strong and

284
00:22:16.670 --> 00:22:21.550
 Effective and we could have already wiped Iran out and even Dave Smith has said that himself

285
00:22:24.390 --> 00:22:28.010
 But the reason we're still there is because Trump is hesitant

286
00:22:29.530 --> 00:22:34.370
 Trump is afraid to take that next step because he doesn't want to get into an ugly

287
00:22:35.010 --> 00:22:37.070
 Drawn out kinetic

288
00:22:37.070 --> 00:22:38.890
 war a

289
00:22:38.890 --> 00:22:44.770
 War where you're facing soldier against soldier on the battlefield problem is we may be coming to that

290
00:22:45.690 --> 00:22:46.210
 soon

291
00:22:47.950 --> 00:22:53.830
 But before we before we dive into that in fact, I might even just save that for another episode let's talk about

292
00:22:54.710 --> 00:22:58.870
 What did happen and where the where this what's the state of Iran right now?

293
00:22:58.870 --> 00:23:02.350
 Because Dave seems to think that Iran has been untouched Iran is resilient

294
00:23:02.350 --> 00:23:08.830
 There's nothing going on and we've failed at everything we've done and honestly, I mean I got to say it Dave

295
00:23:08.830 --> 00:23:15.150
 You just sound so fucking anti-american. It's just pathetic dude. It's fucking pathetic. I'm sorry. You are pathetic

296
00:23:15.890 --> 00:23:22.330
 Your your war is bad and argument and the morality of this and that argument is just it doesn't work anymore

297
00:23:22.330 --> 00:23:26.690
 I think people see through it and if you go to Dave's comment sections on social media

298
00:23:26.690 --> 00:23:31.850
 You're starting to see more and more people call them out and push back because they're done

299
00:23:31.850 --> 00:23:39.090
 Not everything is a war bad Israel's fault slash moral argument. I I mean this is war these are conflicts

300
00:23:39.090 --> 00:23:45.310
 I mean this there's more to it than just a black and white we do or do not do this or we engage this way

301
00:23:45.310 --> 00:23:49.800
 Or we don't engage it's not not like that and Dave doesn't seem to understand that

302
00:23:50.690 --> 00:23:52.950
 So let's talk about state of Iran

303
00:23:53.950 --> 00:23:58.230
 Let's talk about where we're at right now. So

304
00:23:59.070 --> 00:24:00.850
 Let's talk about the leadership crisis

305
00:24:00.850 --> 00:24:06.370
 So one of the things that was a goal of this operation was to dismantle the leadership

306
00:24:06.370 --> 00:24:09.950
 That primarily being with the Islamic regime

307
00:24:09.950 --> 00:24:12.010
 Which has been done

308
00:24:12.010 --> 00:24:18.470
 It was an operation what that was meant epipheria was meant to dismantle the leadership

309
00:24:18.710 --> 00:24:20.870
 cause confusion and

310
00:24:20.870 --> 00:24:22.470
 basically fragment

311
00:24:22.470 --> 00:24:27.110
 Their decision-making and this has absolutely been achieved

312
00:24:27.110 --> 00:24:34.230
 So I'm going to be reading from my assessment here leadership crisis and the rise of the barracks

313
00:24:34.690 --> 00:24:38.410
 State so the internal political landscape of Iran is currently

314
00:24:38.410 --> 00:24:40.230
 defined by

315
00:24:40.230 --> 00:24:43.210
 fragmentation and the erosion of

316
00:24:43.210 --> 00:24:50.490
 traditional civilian clerical authority and that's very important because right now the decisions seem to be made from a military

317
00:24:50.810 --> 00:24:54.350
 standpoint primarily by the by the

318
00:24:54.990 --> 00:24:55.770
 IRGC

319
00:24:55.770 --> 00:24:59.170
 So the succession and fragmentation, so let's start there

320
00:24:59.170 --> 00:25:05.070
 and this is primarily to do with the Islamic regime and their sense of power or

321
00:25:05.070 --> 00:25:07.090
 The lack of power they have now

322
00:25:07.610 --> 00:25:14.510
 So here's the Hamenei vacuum. So the assassination of Ali Hamenei on February 28th

323
00:25:14.510 --> 00:25:16.630
 2026 removed the central

324
00:25:16.630 --> 00:25:19.270
 Arbiter of the Iranian state

325
00:25:19.810 --> 00:25:24.790
 His successor his son by the way most of most of our Hamenei

326
00:25:24.790 --> 00:25:28.830
 Who was elected on March 8th 2026?

327
00:25:29.790 --> 00:25:31.590
 He doesn't have his father's

328
00:25:32.230 --> 00:25:33.190
 religious authority

329
00:25:34.730 --> 00:25:36.910
 He doesn't have a stature and

330
00:25:38.190 --> 00:25:40.670
 He's leading to

331
00:25:40.670 --> 00:25:45.990
 Vanished discipline among competing power centers. Okay

332
00:25:45.990 --> 00:25:47.610
 so

333
00:25:47.610 --> 00:25:52.150
 because he lacks the religious authority the stature and

334
00:25:52.290 --> 00:25:54.230
 everything that his father had

335
00:25:55.030 --> 00:25:58.750
 It seems that the Islamic regime is slowly

336
00:25:58.750 --> 00:26:01.650
 losing control of power to

337
00:26:02.930 --> 00:26:03.570
 other

338
00:26:03.570 --> 00:26:06.010
 Players right now. Okay

339
00:26:06.010 --> 00:26:08.930
 Now there's another interesting fact though

340
00:26:10.570 --> 00:26:15.410
 Mostaba Hamenei has not been seen it is rumored. He's already been killed

341
00:26:15.410 --> 00:26:22.010
 there was there was a mural that was up on one of the walls that was put and it showed the

342
00:26:22.010 --> 00:26:25.590
 The past leaders of the Islamic regime and

343
00:26:26.650 --> 00:26:30.930
 Mostaba Hamenei was actually up there. This picture was up there now

344
00:26:31.530 --> 00:26:32.890
 That could have been AI

345
00:26:33.430 --> 00:26:39.090
 Again, I've said that I did not confirm that but I'm just gonna keep bringing it up because we haven't seen him

346
00:26:39.090 --> 00:26:41.910
 There's rumors that he's been disfigured. He lost a limb

347
00:26:42.330 --> 00:26:45.990
 Whatever the case is some say he's been in a coma. We don't know

348
00:26:45.990 --> 00:26:50.830
 We do know that he was being treated in a Russian hospital for his injuries

349
00:26:50.830 --> 00:26:54.490
 But aside from that, we're not quite sure if he is dead regardless

350
00:26:54.490 --> 00:27:00.450
 He hasn't been seen a leader that is not seen that is not showing his face to his people and his followers

351
00:27:01.610 --> 00:27:06.270
 Can't lead you can't lead from a closet. You can't leave from the darkness

352
00:27:06.270 --> 00:27:13.630
 So the Islamic regime in and of itself is losing losing its credibility and losing its power now

353
00:27:14.150 --> 00:27:18.890
 Moving on to the second point here in the fragmentation succession or the succession in fragmentation

354
00:27:18.890 --> 00:27:23.510
 The decapitation attrition and yes, there is an attrition going on in leadership

355
00:27:24.450 --> 00:27:30.890
 So let's talk about this high-ranking officials including the Minister of Defense Minister of Intelligence

356
00:27:30.890 --> 00:27:38.490
 Secretary of the SNSC they've all been killed they resulting in a paralyzed leadership and

357
00:27:39.090 --> 00:27:43.850
 Disrupted decision-making which we have been seeing so from the

358
00:27:43.850 --> 00:27:51.370
 From the non clerical from the from the civilian leadership roles right from the from that sector of leadership

359
00:27:51.370 --> 00:27:55.150
 It's been very fragmented. They can't make a decision

360
00:27:55.730 --> 00:28:01.970
 but in the end everybody knows that the Islamic regime the clerics themselves are the ones who really pull the strings and

361
00:28:02.550 --> 00:28:06.970
 So between the Islamic regime and the lack of any civilian structured leadership

362
00:28:07.910 --> 00:28:09.190
 that leaves

363
00:28:11.270 --> 00:28:12.550
 the IRGC

364
00:28:12.550 --> 00:28:13.090
 So

365
00:28:14.150 --> 00:28:18.630
 With that being said there's an elite divergence. So there's an intense internal power struggle

366
00:28:19.610 --> 00:28:22.270
 It's led to a breakdown of diplomatic cohesion

367
00:28:23.330 --> 00:28:25.430
 pragmatists like President Massoud

368
00:28:26.210 --> 00:28:28.390
 has Ashken I

369
00:28:28.930 --> 00:28:36.730
 Think I mispronounced it but regardless have been sidelined by as I said the IRGC with military hardliners frequently overriding civilian

370
00:28:36.730 --> 00:28:39.730
 Diplomatic initiative. So exactly what I was just saying, right?

371
00:28:41.090 --> 00:28:41.650
 So

372
00:28:41.650 --> 00:28:43.030
 What's up with the IRGC?

373
00:28:43.110 --> 00:28:49.870
 Well, the regime has evolved into a barrack state where the IRGC exercises decisive control over governance

374
00:28:49.870 --> 00:28:57.350
 so right now it's really the IRGC making the the making the decisions are calling shots based on their military capabilities and

375
00:28:58.070 --> 00:28:59.930
 from a strategic military

376
00:29:01.190 --> 00:29:03.650
 Assessment of what's happening and how things are progressing

377
00:29:04.470 --> 00:29:09.010
 The IRGC has been the gatekeeper, right? So they're the they're the major general

378
00:29:09.010 --> 00:29:09.990
 Ahmad

379
00:29:11.350 --> 00:29:12.190
 Vahidi

380
00:29:12.190 --> 00:29:18.110
 Has emerged as the primary gatekeeper to the new supreme leader, which is interesting because

381
00:29:18.710 --> 00:29:24.690
 Most of our hominy hasn't been seen and it seems like anything that has to do with

382
00:29:25.390 --> 00:29:27.390
 hominy right now

383
00:29:27.390 --> 00:29:30.410
 Has to go through general

384
00:29:30.970 --> 00:29:33.170
 Ahmad Vahidi and

385
00:29:34.010 --> 00:29:40.370
 He's like the primary like mediator between the Islamic regime leadership primarily

386
00:29:40.930 --> 00:29:43.490
 most of Bahamani and

387
00:29:44.230 --> 00:29:44.830
 I

388
00:29:44.830 --> 00:29:46.670
 Guess anybody else, right?

389
00:29:47.570 --> 00:29:48.530
 so

390
00:29:48.530 --> 00:29:50.970
 the internal security also

391
00:29:50.970 --> 00:29:55.910
 Is facing a hyperinflation and there's a potential popular

392
00:29:56.490 --> 00:30:03.150
 Uprising the regime maintains a near total internet blackout to this day still complete internet blackout

393
00:30:04.010 --> 00:30:04.730
 and

394
00:30:04.730 --> 00:30:10.470
 relies on again the IRGC to suppress dissent through force and controlled

395
00:30:10.470 --> 00:30:18.250
 Propaganda and I've already discussed this many times. In fact, I'm just gonna put this out there. I have been talking about Iran

396
00:30:19.290 --> 00:30:22.850
 For for a long time a

397
00:30:22.850 --> 00:30:23.730
 long time

398
00:30:23.730 --> 00:30:27.910
 I've talking I talking I've talked to many people

399
00:30:28.350 --> 00:30:32.550
 From Iran whose families for from Iran journalists who were from Iran

400
00:30:33.350 --> 00:30:37.570
 Resistance leaders from Iran. I have talked to many people I've talked to intelligence

401
00:30:38.630 --> 00:30:39.290
 professionals

402
00:30:39.850 --> 00:30:45.890
 Who are still in the intelligence community that know the Middle East and

403
00:30:45.890 --> 00:30:54.070
 And I've gotten some information from them as well, and I'm gonna tell you right now. I don't think

404
00:30:54.860 --> 00:30:56.740
 Iran is gonna give in

405
00:30:57.560 --> 00:31:01.180
 now while while we have had a

406
00:31:01.180 --> 00:31:02.860
 success and

407
00:31:02.860 --> 00:31:04.180
 Dismantling their leadership

408
00:31:04.900 --> 00:31:10.580
 The IRGC is going to be a tough nut to crack because it is a militant

409
00:31:12.280 --> 00:31:16.040
 Arm the militant arm of the Islamic regime in fact

410
00:31:16.040 --> 00:31:20.840
 They're taking over and taking control of Iran at this very moment

411
00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:26.200
 as far as leadership goes they're they're very well trained they're armed and

412
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:29.020
 They're going to fight

413
00:31:29.020 --> 00:31:31.680
 fight long and fight hard I

414
00:31:32.420 --> 00:31:40.330
 Think that the Islamic regime themselves may be willing to make a deal before the IRGC gives in the problem is

415
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:45.010
 The IRGC seems to be calling the shots so this leaves

416
00:31:46.260 --> 00:31:48.780
 any negotiations any deals

417
00:31:49.520 --> 00:31:55.690
 That may be on the table. I think we're just gonna see a constant state of

418
00:31:56.410 --> 00:32:01.530
 You know show me yours, I'll show you mine, but we're not gonna come to terms

419
00:32:01.530 --> 00:32:03.590
 we're just doing this because you know

420
00:32:04.550 --> 00:32:07.090
 It puts people at ease for a week or two or whatever

421
00:32:07.090 --> 00:32:15.470
 But I don't think it's ever gonna happen now as far as the leadership Dave Smith getting back to Davey boy

422
00:32:15.470 --> 00:32:19.590
 the leadership crisis the the

423
00:32:20.130 --> 00:32:22.390
 toppling of the leadership the the

424
00:32:22.950 --> 00:32:24.010
 Dissent the

425
00:32:24.010 --> 00:32:32.510
 Disorganization the lack of control the lack of a any clear cohesive policy or decision-making on behalf of Iran

426
00:32:33.590 --> 00:32:37.870
 That has been achieved that has happened that is real so

427
00:32:38.630 --> 00:32:40.190
 Davey boy you're wrong on that one

428
00:32:40.190 --> 00:32:43.770
 the other point of this

429
00:32:43.770 --> 00:32:47.430
 the other point of this conflict Dave Smith II

430
00:32:47.970 --> 00:32:49.690
 Davey boy is that

431
00:32:50.330 --> 00:32:58.420
 We were trying to economically squeeze the Islamic regime why glad you asked Dave

432
00:32:58.730 --> 00:33:02.810
 Because if we take away their source of funding

433
00:33:03.410 --> 00:33:07.460
 We take away their ability to operate they can't

434
00:33:08.110 --> 00:33:15.470
 Manufacture weapons they can't buy weapons and more importantly they can't fund their terrorist

435
00:33:15.470 --> 00:33:22.150
 Broxies money runs the world but in the case of the Islamic regime it truly does make

436
00:33:23.070 --> 00:33:27.210
 Operations run smooth and in fact without it. There are no operations so

437
00:33:28.570 --> 00:33:30.330
 point number two Dave

438
00:33:31.210 --> 00:33:37.550
 Another achievement the neck the economic stranglehold or strangulation of

439
00:33:37.550 --> 00:33:38.350
 This is our regime

440
00:33:38.350 --> 00:33:44.790
 Let's read some of that so here's the economic implosion at the moment. They're in survival

441
00:33:44.790 --> 00:33:46.230
 life support

442
00:33:47.190 --> 00:33:52.470
 The US naval blockade and the economic fury campaign have triggered a multi-dimensional

443
00:33:52.470 --> 00:34:00.290
 Economic collapse. Oh say it ain't so Dave Smith say it ain't so so here's the metric current status as of April May

444
00:34:00.290 --> 00:34:05.670
 2026 okay, so GDP losses are at 40%

445
00:34:05.670 --> 00:34:09.610
 They're losing a hundred and forty four billion dollars in

446
00:34:10.449 --> 00:34:17.409
 Under two months and it's estimated. They're they're losing about that much nearly at a month

447
00:34:18.250 --> 00:34:21.630
 at a time, so I

448
00:34:21.630 --> 00:34:25.570
 Would say that's pretty significant Dave the inflation rate also so

449
00:34:25.969 --> 00:34:30.690
 It has forced inflation in Iran up to fifty three point seven percent

450
00:34:30.929 --> 00:34:35.770
 Which is the highest since World War two food inflation is?

451
00:34:37.250 --> 00:34:38.230
 greater than

452
00:34:38.230 --> 00:34:40.550
 115 percent

453
00:34:41.710 --> 00:34:49.670
 Currency value one point eight four million riles or reals per US dollar

454
00:34:50.730 --> 00:34:57.170
 So it takes a million of theirs to equal one of ours Dave

455
00:34:57.170 --> 00:35:01.290
 I would say that's another major major blow economically and

456
00:35:01.950 --> 00:35:07.910
 Here's the big one the daily revenue loss Davey boy the daily revenue loss

457
00:35:09.090 --> 00:35:14.810
 435 million every single day every single day the Islamic regime is losing

458
00:35:16.090 --> 00:35:21.290
 435 million dollars Dave Smith, and here's another thing Dave Smith that you never talk about

459
00:35:21.290 --> 00:35:23.910
 You know that that money

460
00:35:23.910 --> 00:35:27.440
 Like the money that they get from the oil by the way that

461
00:35:27.910 --> 00:35:35.070
 Is being controlled by blockading the Strait of Hormuz that money funds over 45% of their government

462
00:35:35.070 --> 00:35:42.150
 Which they can't access because they're not getting it there is no revenue right now and in fact

463
00:35:42.150 --> 00:35:47.650
 Their storage on Carg Island right now. It's full or very damn near

464
00:35:47.650 --> 00:35:54.810
 Which also means they're gonna be in trouble in terms of producing oil because where's that oil gonna go and be stored?

465
00:35:55.710 --> 00:35:57.250
 so Davey boy

466
00:35:57.830 --> 00:36:03.990
 Seems like we achieve two objectives so far which is the toppling of

467
00:36:03.990 --> 00:36:04.850
 Their leadership

468
00:36:05.550 --> 00:36:08.810
 the disarray in decision-making

469
00:36:09.310 --> 00:36:10.450
 and

470
00:36:10.450 --> 00:36:16.330
 We've also created a bit of an internal power struggle by

471
00:36:16.330 --> 00:36:20.570
 removing major heads of leadership in Iran

472
00:36:21.150 --> 00:36:24.830
 so objective one achieved objective to

473
00:36:25.230 --> 00:36:28.930
 the strangulation of their economics situation basically

474
00:36:29.630 --> 00:36:31.410
 strangulation of their economy

475
00:36:31.410 --> 00:36:35.530
 Objective to achieve they're losing 435 million dollars a day

476
00:36:36.090 --> 00:36:39.530
 They can't access the money they need from the oil sales which

477
00:36:39.950 --> 00:36:46.610
 Contributes to 45% of the budget they need to run their actual government without the money

478
00:36:46.610 --> 00:36:52.150
 They're also not able to fund proxies. They're also not able to buy weapons manufacturer weapons grease any palms, etc

479
00:36:52.150 --> 00:37:00.390
 So I would say objective to achieve Dave Smith. So that's my two to your zero gotcha

480
00:37:01.350 --> 00:37:06.630
 Now let's move on to the fractured alliances and external support

481
00:37:07.890 --> 00:37:13.070
 So the axis of resistance is adapting to the financial logistical suffocation of Tehran

482
00:37:13.550 --> 00:37:18.010
 There's a proxy self-sufficiency, which I kind of kind of touched this so

483
00:37:18.490 --> 00:37:26.290
 Funding strains the Iranian regime is struggling to meet basic domestic financial obligations leading to a reduction in stipends for for

484
00:37:27.330 --> 00:37:29.230
 foreign militias or

485
00:37:29.230 --> 00:37:31.910
 What is that Dave what?

486
00:37:32.370 --> 00:37:34.950
 Terrorist proxies, that's right. So

487
00:37:35.190 --> 00:37:41.790
 Looks like we're achieving objective number three or a third objective here. I

488
00:37:41.790 --> 00:37:46.870
 Mean look Dave if there's any failure the failure will be Congress

489
00:37:49.690 --> 00:37:51.250
 Handcuffing Trump

490
00:37:51.250 --> 00:37:55.770
 From being able to push further militarily

491
00:37:55.770 --> 00:38:00.730
 Once we get to that time I believe 60 90 days we're already at about the 60

492
00:38:00.730 --> 00:38:05.970
 I think it's around the 90 and I feel like an idiot because I should absolutely know the actual table things 90 days

493
00:38:07.510 --> 00:38:10.790
 There needs to be an extension approved by Congress, okay

494
00:38:10.790 --> 00:38:18.110
 Congress needs to either say this is a war or you can continue military action military operations, etc

495
00:38:18.110 --> 00:38:20.470
 whatever you want to coin it and

496
00:38:20.470 --> 00:38:23.400
 Congress is gonna be the only thing that's gonna stand between Trump and

497
00:38:24.120 --> 00:38:30.960
 The Islamic regime the only thing that's gonna save Iran's ass is

498
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.990
 US Congress if we're being honest with ourselves

499
00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:36.720
 so

500
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.200
 It seems like all

501
00:38:40.200 --> 00:38:48.100
 The objectives as of now as of now the objectives Dave Smith the biggest failure that the US has ever had

502
00:38:48.100 --> 00:38:51.340
 militarily or strategically in a conflict

503
00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:54.020
 Our ability to

504
00:38:54.940 --> 00:39:01.280
 Do what we say to actually achieve something Dave has been achieved

505
00:39:02.100 --> 00:39:04.460
 Iranian leadership topple

506
00:39:05.040 --> 00:39:10.740
 Islamic regimes economic status the money they need to operate

507
00:39:10.740 --> 00:39:12.640
 choked gone

508
00:39:12.640 --> 00:39:15.240
 the ability to fund

509
00:39:15.240 --> 00:39:19.320
 external militias military namely their their proxies

510
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:22.280
 Gone and

511
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:26.480
 Even their allies now, we know that Russia we know that Russia is helping Iran

512
00:39:27.120 --> 00:39:30.840
 With intelligence they may even be sending them some additional

513
00:39:31.900 --> 00:39:33.240
 weapons, etc

514
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:36.920
 but we also know that Iran is

515
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:46.080
 like they've lost 40% of their attack drone force like they're down 40% and

516
00:39:46.080 --> 00:39:50.010
 That's significant and they can't reproduce them because

517
00:39:51.160 --> 00:39:57.500
 Everything that they needed their major facilities to reproduce these drones these Shahed drones

518
00:39:57.500 --> 00:39:59.980
 been wiped out

519
00:39:59.980 --> 00:40:04.750
 Their air defense is almost like nothing worthless. They don't really have one

520
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:07.950
 Russia's trying to help them out with some of that but

521
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:13.720
 It's damn gone and let's talk about their Navy which a lot of people understand

522
00:40:15.420 --> 00:40:21.220
 Everyone's always online including Dave. I thought their Navy was wiped out. They said it was wiped out and they're lying to us

523
00:40:21.220 --> 00:40:23.280
 No, they're not lying Dave Smith

524
00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:29.820
 So what happened is all their major large-scale ships are at the bottom of the ocean

525
00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:33.420
 What they have left are

526
00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:40.740
 their small speedboats, which is I would say what you call like their their mosquito force, right and

527
00:40:40.740 --> 00:40:44.980
 So what they're relying on right now is being able to swarm large vessels with

528
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:48.580
 multiples of this type of you know

529
00:40:48.580 --> 00:40:54.460
 High-speed attack boats these small attack boats now is an effective strategy. Yeah, it can be I mean, can you imagine?

530
00:40:55.160 --> 00:41:00.560
 Running through a bunch of trees and hitting a beehive and then you got a thousand bees on you stinging you

531
00:41:00.560 --> 00:41:03.880
 That's a bad situation. You could die from that

532
00:41:05.020 --> 00:41:09.580
 And in turn this swarm tactic that Iran uses with these speedboats

533
00:41:09.580 --> 00:41:11.980
 Could absolutely be effective as well

534
00:41:13.240 --> 00:41:19.020
 Problem is they got to get close enough to any of our vessels to do anything and before they get there we have air

535
00:41:19.020 --> 00:41:24.000
 Superiority, don't forget. We have aircraft carriers out there. So

536
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:28.060
 you know things like I don't know f-35s

537
00:41:30.380 --> 00:41:33.600
 Helicopters, etc. We still have the a-10 warthog out there

538
00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:38.980
 It's going to be very highly unlikely that their speed boats are going to be very effective

539
00:41:38.980 --> 00:41:46.800
 Although they could be it could be so I'm not saying they won't they aren't entirely defenseless, but they do have that so so

540
00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:50.720
 Let's keep going here Dave. So what does Iran really have?

541
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:53.840
 What do they really have right now when it comes to straight-o-hormones?

542
00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:57.980
 They have sure to see

543
00:41:58.940 --> 00:42:04.000
 Missiles, so they do have that they still have a decent stockpile of those and launchers

544
00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:06.440
 but again

545
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:09.280
 Not really much that

546
00:42:10.560 --> 00:42:12.560
 The US air

547
00:42:12.560 --> 00:42:14.880
 capabilities can take care of and

548
00:42:15.580 --> 00:42:18.280
 Here's the thing. Here's the thing

549
00:42:19.260 --> 00:42:24.180
 What will really secure the straight and I hate to say it is going to be boots on the ground the one thing

550
00:42:24.180 --> 00:42:25.880
 President Trump is

551
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:27.760
 Absolutely trying to avoid

552
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:31.600
 Why because as I said earlier in the show already?

553
00:42:32.660 --> 00:42:39.960
 Trump doesn't want to see you as military personnel die. He doesn't want to see them fight face to face

554
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:41.860
 He doesn't want to see them on the battlefield

555
00:42:42.580 --> 00:42:47.160
 He would rather take care of this at a distance using superior technology

556
00:42:48.300 --> 00:42:52.760
 Superior armaments superior targeting us. That's what he's trying to do here

557
00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:55.540
 so

558
00:42:56.340 --> 00:42:56.900
 Dave

559
00:42:58.020 --> 00:42:59.660
 Do me a favor

560
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:08.670
 Do at least like a Google search or something you look good when you give your argument you do

561
00:43:09.980 --> 00:43:14.450
 Because you look confident and you talk very well and you're eloquent, but I mean

562
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:18.420
 Your assessments have been pretty off man. I

563
00:43:18.420 --> 00:43:20.060
 like your domestic takes I

564
00:43:20.680 --> 00:43:24.820
 Like when you talk about domestic politics, but the geopolitics is not your bag, baby

565
00:43:24.820 --> 00:43:29.240
 You just need to leave that alone. All right, you really just don't know what the hell you're talking about

566
00:43:30.160 --> 00:43:30.720
 And

567
00:43:30.720 --> 00:43:35.020
 Speaking of people who don't know what they're talking about. I got another one for you guys

568
00:43:35.020 --> 00:43:39.040
 I got another one for you guys the good old Tim Dillon

569
00:43:40.600 --> 00:43:41.720
 Tim Delano

570
00:43:43.460 --> 00:43:44.580
 so Timmy

571
00:43:44.580 --> 00:43:47.920
 Who I refer to as the adult version of Cartman

572
00:43:49.520 --> 00:43:52.260
 You don't believe me. All right, watch this

573
00:43:52.260 --> 00:43:54.680
 If you're watching the video here

574
00:43:55.820 --> 00:43:56.940
 Here's Cartman

575
00:43:56.940 --> 00:44:02.580
 Right there. There's Cartman. That's the real live grown-up Cartman. Even his voice sounds like Cartman, right?

576
00:44:02.720 --> 00:44:05.440
 You know, not as whiny as a little kid, but like the adult version of Cartman

577
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:10.880
 This guy what's with the fucking sunglasses Tim now a lot of people like this guy

578
00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:18.780
 I don't know why I I've tried I've tried to listen and the problem with Tim is all of his

579
00:44:18.780 --> 00:44:21.140
 Assessments all of his opinions are based on

580
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:22.840
 feelings

581
00:44:24.040 --> 00:44:25.000
 like literally

582
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:30.040
 Feelings like they are I feel this way and America feels that way and you know

583
00:44:30.040 --> 00:44:33.020
 If it wasn't for this and what oh and of course, it's Israel's fault

584
00:44:33.020 --> 00:44:36.000
 I know Israel another one of those dudes and so it's like

585
00:44:38.240 --> 00:44:38.680
 Timmy

586
00:44:38.680 --> 00:44:41.340
 Tim boy, I

587
00:44:41.340 --> 00:44:47.140
 Don't know. I don't know what it is about you comedians that think that you know, you're you're the

588
00:44:48.420 --> 00:44:51.560
 Your God's gift basically to political commentary

589
00:44:51.560 --> 00:44:57.920
 But I mean you're just not and no one's gonna tell you this no one has told you this which is why you're still

590
00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:00.280
 up there with your sunglasses and

591
00:45:01.900 --> 00:45:02.780
 your feelings

592
00:45:03.980 --> 00:45:04.860
 talking shit

593
00:45:04.860 --> 00:45:08.280
 When you clearly don't know what it is exactly you're talking about

594
00:45:09.100 --> 00:45:14.060
 But I know you got a lot of fans and I'm sure people listen to this or already hate me for talking about good

595
00:45:14.060 --> 00:45:19.300
 Old car. I mean Tim Dillon. So here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna play this

596
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:23.660
 And we're gonna listen to him talk about

597
00:45:23.660 --> 00:45:29.370
 His feelings here we go because we're not getting out of this

598
00:45:30.330 --> 00:45:34.590
 This thing's not gonna go this thing's not going our way and

599
00:45:34.590 --> 00:45:36.510
 You know that you can feel it

600
00:45:36.510 --> 00:45:39.850
 It's it's a you can feel that it's not going our way

601
00:45:39.850 --> 00:45:45.190
 You can feel that it's not working you can feel that Trump wants out of it

602
00:45:45.890 --> 00:45:47.910
 You can feel it

603
00:45:47.910 --> 00:45:57.280
 This is not this is not what he does he's not a real fighter I didn't count but I mean how many times that he mentioned

604
00:45:58.660 --> 00:46:01.640
 Everything is based on what you can feel

605
00:46:06.240 --> 00:46:07.360
 so basically

606
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.100
 Tim believes that we're not we're not getting out like this whole thing's a mess

607
00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:14.720
 Because he feels it's a mess

608
00:46:14.720 --> 00:46:17.720
 But let's keep listening to Tim's feelings

609
00:46:18.340 --> 00:46:20.560
 He's like a shit-talker

610
00:46:20.560 --> 00:46:24.760
 He's a casino kingpin. He's a reality star

611
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:29.980
 And if you like reality stars, I'm it would selling actually pretty well there at the Wiltern theater

612
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:36.020
 That's interesting. So he's criticizing Trump saying all he is is a shit-talker reality star, etc

613
00:46:36.020 --> 00:46:39.100
 Kind of rich coming from a shit-talking sunglass wearing

614
00:46:39.740 --> 00:46:41.950
 comedian whose whole schtick is

615
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:44.980
 Shit talking and stirring the pot

616
00:46:44.980 --> 00:46:46.420
 cool gotcha

617
00:46:46.420 --> 00:46:51.060
 But that's what he does. This is not patent

618
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:59.550
 He's not a general. He's a reality star. He's a shit-talker. He's very comfortable in that game

619
00:46:59.740 --> 00:47:04.390
 Late night firing off tweets at Elizabeth Warren. That's his game

620
00:47:05.540 --> 00:47:08.270
 Talking shit with Mika and Joe

621
00:47:08.420 --> 00:47:13.220
 Morning Joe, he's comfortable doing that all day long

622
00:47:13.220 --> 00:47:15.920
 No a rally forget it

623
00:47:16.420 --> 00:47:24.040
 Standing there for three hours talking extemporaneously off the cuff. He's all in and that's what he does

624
00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:32.950
 This is not where he shines and he feels uncomfortable. You can tell he's not happy about this because this is not what he does

625
00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:37.670
 Okay, so um

626
00:47:37.670 --> 00:47:42.510
 Tim's criticism is all based on his feelings and

627
00:47:42.510 --> 00:47:44.310
 Tim believes that

628
00:47:44.910 --> 00:47:49.050
 Trump is not effective because he's a shit-talking talk show host

629
00:47:50.050 --> 00:47:55.690
 Which is pot calling the kettle black here. I mean Tim's not really a talk show. Well, I guess he is right

630
00:47:55.690 --> 00:47:59.730
 He has his podcast as being a talk show host just what they are these days

631
00:48:00.150 --> 00:48:05.970
 Tim Dillon talk shit Tim Dillon doesn't understand politics Tim Dillon's assessments are based on his feelings

632
00:48:06.470 --> 00:48:11.610
 Kind of like the bowel movements he has in the morning or the texture of the jelly donut going down his throat that

633
00:48:11.610 --> 00:48:21.560
 He can feel I guess but regardless cart. I mean Tim, sorry keep I don't know why I keep want to say Cartman, but Tim Dillon is

634
00:48:21.560 --> 00:48:22.460
 a popular

635
00:48:23.080 --> 00:48:27.040
 Extremely popular. I don't know how but political commentator

636
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:30.200
 Who puts feelings before facts?

637
00:48:31.200 --> 00:48:37.060
 He thinks Trump is not gonna make it. He thinks Trump doesn't know what he's doing here

638
00:48:37.720 --> 00:48:38.360
 but

639
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:39.740
 Trump is

640
00:48:39.740 --> 00:48:42.120
 Being very effective as I just read earlier

641
00:48:42.120 --> 00:48:44.840
 He's already achieved some objectives now

642
00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:51.000
 I'm not gonna get in the argument as to whether or not we should still be there. Should we have ever been there?

643
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.380
 I have my own feelings and opinions on that

644
00:48:54.200 --> 00:49:02.820
 but Tim represents Tim Dillon represents what is often said way too often and

645
00:49:02.820 --> 00:49:06.360
 By these podfluencers and

646
00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:06.820
 these

647
00:49:06.820 --> 00:49:08.280
 online influencers

648
00:49:08.840 --> 00:49:10.560
 Whatever you want to call them

649
00:49:10.560 --> 00:49:12.960
 They have half-baked

650
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:17.360
 understandings of what is actually happening in the world and

651
00:49:18.800 --> 00:49:24.580
 I mean, it's one thing to talk about what's in your own backyard. What bar you go to what you drink smoke, etc. I mean

652
00:49:25.420 --> 00:49:28.060
 Great, you know how it felt going to work today

653
00:49:28.540 --> 00:49:31.260
 Driving your car etc. Like these are things that you have

654
00:49:32.520 --> 00:49:38.260
 Real interaction with things that you can control but I mean you get outside of that small little world

655
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:44.380
 That these guys like Tim Dillon Dave Smith live in I mean, I got to be honest

656
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:47.500
 It goes south very fast

657
00:49:47.500 --> 00:49:49.480
 So let's talk about

658
00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:51.420
 project freedom here

659
00:49:51.420 --> 00:49:57.400
 Okay, so

660
00:49:57.400 --> 00:49:59.960
 project freedom and

661
00:49:59.960 --> 00:50:02.160
 straight-o-form-oose navigation

662
00:50:02.160 --> 00:50:07.480
 Initiative so this was announced by President Trump on May 3rd, which was yesterday of this recording

663
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:16.400
 Project freedom is characterized by the administration as a humanitarian process designed to restore navigation for neutral parties

664
00:50:17.080 --> 00:50:19.140
 affected by the ongoing conflict

665
00:50:19.860 --> 00:50:24.240
 Now that being said I'm gonna interject here cuz I really know what someone like Timmy Dillon would say

666
00:50:24.240 --> 00:50:26.940
 Like well, we wouldn't have had a problem if they didn't make it a problem

667
00:50:27.720 --> 00:50:31.920
 I'm gonna get to that too. Timmy when we talk about Iran verse Oman

668
00:50:33.040 --> 00:50:36.940
 Hang in there. Mr. Dillon. Okay, so regards of a Cartman

669
00:50:36.940 --> 00:50:39.160
 I mean Tim said

670
00:50:39.700 --> 00:50:43.560
 Regardless feelings, here's the operational scope and execution

671
00:50:43.560 --> 00:50:47.380
 So the target demographics the initiative aims to rescue

672
00:50:47.380 --> 00:50:53.260
 20,000 seafarers and hundreds of commercial ships stranded in the Persian Gulf since February 28th

673
00:50:54.460 --> 00:50:55.180
 2026

674
00:50:55.180 --> 00:51:00.760
 One-way transit policy. So the navigation under this project is strictly outward

675
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:07.920
 Okay vessels escorted out of the straight-o-form-oose are prohibited from returning until the water ray is

676
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:11.820
 officially declared safe or general navigation

677
00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:17.920
 mine clearance operations, so they've already performed a few mine clearance operations, but Iran

678
00:51:18.740 --> 00:51:22.380
 Keeps going out there the IRGC keeps going out there and putting more mines out

679
00:51:23.720 --> 00:51:24.320
 so

680
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:26.160
 beginning April 11th of

681
00:51:26.160 --> 00:51:34.560
 2026 the US Central Command utilized guided missile destroyers and underwater drones to clear naval mines previously deployed by the Islamic Revolutionary

682
00:51:34.560 --> 00:51:35.040
 Guard Corps

683
00:51:35.040 --> 00:51:40.240
 They've got a lot of them, but they're going to continue to do so since April 11th

684
00:51:40.240 --> 00:51:43.020
 They've been doing this IRGC keeps putting more out

685
00:51:43.020 --> 00:51:48.020
 So this this this operation involving clearing mines is going to continue

686
00:51:49.120 --> 00:51:51.100
 So let's talk about the military assets

687
00:51:51.100 --> 00:51:56.140
 Although initially framed as a coordination framework the operation now involves the full

688
00:51:56.160 --> 00:51:57.920
 military weight of CENTCOM

689
00:51:58.440 --> 00:51:59.320
 now

690
00:52:00.160 --> 00:52:04.840
 It was it was not the full weight of CENTCOM before

691
00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:12.420
 Right now we're looking at we're looking at the the ability for CENTCOM to tap into 15,000 service members

692
00:52:12.420 --> 00:52:15.080
 over 100 aircraft and

693
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:20.000
 multiple guided missile destroyers and

694
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:22.320
 Here's the strategic and economic objectives

695
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:30.700
 So mark a stabilization the announcement of the project led to a 2% drop in global oil prices as

696
00:52:30.700 --> 00:52:34.800
 The release of trapped crude oil signaled a partial restoration of the corridor

697
00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:42.340
 Counter-blockade the initiative seeks to undermine Iran's ability to collect tolls from

698
00:52:42.340 --> 00:52:48.940
 transitioning ships and challenges is dominance over the strategic choke point and

699
00:52:48.940 --> 00:52:50.240
 Here's a security enforcement

700
00:52:50.740 --> 00:52:57.400
 The US has issued formal warnings that any interference with project freedom will be dealt with

701
00:52:57.400 --> 00:52:57.960
 forcefully

702
00:52:57.960 --> 00:53:03.180
 So as I as I said previously that Trump is afraid of any major kinetic conflicts

703
00:53:03.180 --> 00:53:10.260
 It may seem that after not getting what he wanted by posturing by basically just a show of force

704
00:53:10.720 --> 00:53:12.660
 It sounds like he's considering

705
00:53:13.540 --> 00:53:16.100
 The inevitable which seems to be the inevitable

706
00:53:17.060 --> 00:53:18.920
 Which is a

707
00:53:18.920 --> 00:53:25.260
 kinetic conflict an all-out kinetic conflict not just strategic missiles and bombs we're talking about

708
00:53:25.780 --> 00:53:32.780
 Face-to-face troops. We're talking about an increase in the use of military assets to enforce

709
00:53:34.500 --> 00:53:41.160
 The Strait of Hormuz enforce the the operations right now by the US

710
00:53:41.540 --> 00:53:43.860
 against Iran and

711
00:53:45.060 --> 00:53:47.530
 So here's here's what's important here

712
00:53:49.160 --> 00:53:55.610
 The US and Iran are not coming to an agreement. So this is also what sparked the announcement of

713
00:53:56.820 --> 00:53:57.360
 the

714
00:53:57.360 --> 00:53:59.620
 project freedom here

715
00:53:59.620 --> 00:54:05.880
 You see the US has well, let's go. Let's start here. Let's start with the the Iranian 14-point peace framework

716
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:07.990
 Let's just do that. So they had a 14-point plan

717
00:54:09.380 --> 00:54:12.420
 It was separated in three three phases and

718
00:54:12.940 --> 00:54:17.140
 This was presented via Pakistani mediators in May 2026

719
00:54:17.140 --> 00:54:22.610
 And I'm going to read phase one. So phase one was the immediate de-escalation

720
00:54:23.220 --> 00:54:23.800
 non

721
00:54:23.800 --> 00:54:28.660
 Aggression so a formal pact between Iran the United States and Israel

722
00:54:29.180 --> 00:54:36.200
 There would be an end to the blockade. So immediate cessation of the US naval blockade and

723
00:54:36.200 --> 00:54:38.520
 economic strangulation of Iran

724
00:54:38.520 --> 00:54:45.920
 So even in this 14-point peace framework plan or this plan that Iran has presented they have

725
00:54:46.680 --> 00:54:48.500
 admitted to being

726
00:54:49.040 --> 00:54:49.600
 economically

727
00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:54.140
 strangled so

728
00:54:54.140 --> 00:55:01.340
 They're already admitting in this in this 14-point framework this 14-point plan that they they have

729
00:55:01.340 --> 00:55:06.480
 Proposed that some of the objectives that Dave Smith said we're not achieving

730
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:11.440
 Have been achieved and Iran is feeling the weight of

731
00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:12.900
 the US military

732
00:55:13.700 --> 00:55:18.520
 That being the blockade which is choking off their economic abilities

733
00:55:18.520 --> 00:55:25.890
 Okay, and they don't want any more aggression. They want to not be involved in any more aggression between Iran and

734
00:55:26.500 --> 00:55:27.120
 Israel

735
00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:28.500
 against

736
00:55:29.980 --> 00:55:32.820
 Against each other and the United States by the way

737
00:55:32.820 --> 00:55:38.060
 They don't want to be able to any more get into anything any conflict with the United States and Israel

738
00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:42.780
 Okay, so the straight-o-hormuz is all still part of phase one

739
00:55:42.780 --> 00:55:47.980
 They want to reopen the waterway to international commerce. Of course they do why they need the money

740
00:55:49.980 --> 00:55:58.300
 I feel like just keep repeating myself here, right? So phase two of Iran's proposed plan nuclear and economic settlement. So

741
00:55:58.300 --> 00:56:03.140
 Iran said they'll enter into a 15-year freeze on uranium enrichment

742
00:56:03.140 --> 00:56:11.120
 Followed by a permanent cap of three point six percent Iran explicitly rejects the dismantlement of any nuclear

743
00:56:11.120 --> 00:56:12.060
 infrastructure

744
00:56:13.820 --> 00:56:16.360
 Also part of phase two financial redress

745
00:56:17.080 --> 00:56:23.340
 So the full lifting of all sanctions the release of all frozen assets and the payment of war

746
00:56:23.340 --> 00:56:26.560
 reparations for damages caused by military and economic pressure

747
00:56:27.560 --> 00:56:29.220
 That's not gonna happen

748
00:56:29.220 --> 00:56:36.340
 But that's part of phase two and they also want to manage the stockpile so the dilution of existing enriched

749
00:56:36.340 --> 00:56:39.140
 uranium to civilian grade levels or

750
00:56:39.660 --> 00:56:40.260
 transfer

751
00:56:40.260 --> 00:56:43.260
 To other countries they want to manage

752
00:56:44.360 --> 00:56:44.960
 that

753
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:50.340
 uranium they want to be have a hand and either the dilution or

754
00:56:50.340 --> 00:56:57.120
 The transfer because what they want what they would want is they'd want to see that uranium transfer to their allies namely Russia

755
00:56:57.120 --> 00:57:04.120
 Or China for example so that they can then still have access to that said uranium

756
00:57:05.380 --> 00:57:13.820
 Phase three of Iran's proposed plan is the regional security and diplomacy. So the US withdrawal

757
00:57:14.780 --> 00:57:20.360
 That's not gonna happen either. They want the US to remove all military forces from the region

758
00:57:20.920 --> 00:57:23.300
 surrounding Iran again

759
00:57:23.300 --> 00:57:24.500
 We already know that's not gonna happen

760
00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:31.060
 They look for regional peace so at an end to the hostilities on all fronts

761
00:57:31.060 --> 00:57:38.020
 Specifically including the conflict in Lebanon, which is crazy that they would specifically want that to end why?

762
00:57:38.940 --> 00:57:46.090
 Hezbollah, that's right. One of their proxies who is now under fire and attack by Israel

763
00:57:46.810 --> 00:57:50.510
 They want to be able to ensure that their

764
00:57:51.830 --> 00:57:56.930
 Outward military partners in the area namely the terrorist proxy groups

765
00:57:57.690 --> 00:58:04.110
 They still have access to them there that they're still standing for them to be able to I mean use let's be honest

766
00:58:04.110 --> 00:58:10.390
 So that's why they're specifically saying we need to stop the conflict in Lebanon because well Hezbollah's

767
00:58:11.250 --> 00:58:12.710
 their most

768
00:58:12.710 --> 00:58:15.290
 skilled trained and armed

769
00:58:18.030 --> 00:58:19.390
 Proxy and

770
00:58:19.390 --> 00:58:25.570
 Here's the the other part of the third phase three. They want international oversight now

771
00:58:25.570 --> 00:58:28.710
 They they want it, but they want a new management mechanism

772
00:58:29.690 --> 00:58:34.710
 of the Strait of Hormuz and a strategic dialogue with Arab states with

773
00:58:35.790 --> 00:58:43.150
 Russia and China acting as enforcers of the agreement. So they want to remove the US

774
00:58:43.150 --> 00:58:44.210
 completely

775
00:58:44.750 --> 00:58:47.190
 from being an arbitrator and or

776
00:58:48.850 --> 00:58:52.090
 Having any kind of oversight in the area

777
00:58:52.090 --> 00:58:55.790
 They want that to be managed by their allies China and Russia

778
00:58:55.790 --> 00:59:00.970
 Well, why would they want that because it will all go in their favor and with the with the the strength and might of Russia

779
00:59:00.970 --> 00:59:10.330
 and China behind them they can strong arm their Arab neighbors to do exactly whatever it is that Iran wants and

780
00:59:10.330 --> 00:59:16.410
 So this whole 14-point plan that was presented was rejected by President Trump

781
00:59:17.050 --> 00:59:18.930
 Which led to

782
00:59:20.330 --> 00:59:26.630
 Announcement of project freedom now project freedom is also supposed to

783
00:59:26.630 --> 00:59:31.830
 Be there as it stated earlier to guide ships out the ones that have been trapped

784
00:59:31.830 --> 00:59:34.170
 They want to get them out of the area. They want to remove them from harm

785
00:59:34.170 --> 00:59:38.470
 Look, whatever you got you got take it home get out of here, but don't come back

786
00:59:39.890 --> 00:59:45.050
 and in doing so he's getting rid of any potential collateral damage if a major

787
00:59:45.050 --> 00:59:46.610
 Conflict does break out in the area

788
00:59:47.590 --> 00:59:50.240
 He doesn't want this he doesn't want the

789
00:59:50.970 --> 00:59:52.730
 The tankers that are sitting there

790
00:59:53.330 --> 00:59:54.570
 from other countries

791
00:59:55.390 --> 00:59:56.130
 to

792
00:59:56.130 --> 00:59:59.520
 basically be damaged or to

793
01:00:00.890 --> 01:00:02.500
 add to the

794
01:00:02.850 --> 01:00:08.280
 Situation between the US and its allies and other nation states right now

795
01:00:08.590 --> 01:00:12.660
 because if any of these tankers were destroyed if any of their

796
01:00:13.520 --> 01:00:18.380
 Personnel killed etc. It's very easy to point the finger at the US

797
01:00:18.380 --> 01:00:20.520
 this conflict and

798
01:00:20.520 --> 01:00:22.920
 basically say it was the US's fault and

799
01:00:23.480 --> 01:00:27.340
 That in and of itself could turn these other nations towards

800
01:00:28.200 --> 01:00:31.200
 China Russia and maybe even Iran

801
01:00:32.240 --> 01:00:33.040
 so

802
01:00:33.040 --> 01:00:35.540
 There's the reason that

803
01:00:35.980 --> 01:00:39.460
 Project freedom was announced and this is why

804
01:00:39.820 --> 01:00:41.040
 project freedom

805
01:00:41.860 --> 01:00:43.880
 Has been proposed

806
01:00:44.820 --> 01:00:48.320
 And and so to counter Timmy Boy

807
01:00:49.040 --> 01:00:51.440
 His feelings don't matter

808
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:58.490
 Because we got to deal with the facts and the facts for this the Strait of Hormuz

809
01:00:59.150 --> 01:01:04.450
 Technically legally is not Iran's to control by the way, okay

810
01:01:05.050 --> 01:01:11.750
 The truth of the matter the facts over feelings. I mean Tim can't keep saying Cartman Tim Dillon

811
01:01:12.290 --> 01:01:16.050
 the the facts over your feelings is

812
01:01:16.890 --> 01:01:23.950
 Iran wants to aggressively control the area by bringing in its strategic partners, namely Russia and China as

813
01:01:24.510 --> 01:01:27.130
 the two major nations who

814
01:01:27.870 --> 01:01:29.970
 Carry out the oversight of the area

815
01:01:29.970 --> 01:01:37.010
 which they can use to strong arm their Arab neighbors to bend the knee to Iran and

816
01:01:37.710 --> 01:01:42.270
 Pressure them to continue to do whatever it is that Iran wants to Iran's benefit

817
01:01:43.630 --> 01:01:44.270
 um

818
01:01:46.010 --> 01:01:46.650
 Also

819
01:01:46.650 --> 01:01:49.030
 facts over feelings Timmy is that

820
01:01:49.670 --> 01:01:56.130
 Trump knows that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon and if Iran based on their 14-point peace framework here

821
01:01:56.130 --> 01:02:00.270
 has any kind of oversight as to how the uranium is

822
01:02:02.230 --> 01:02:03.510
 Diluted or

823
01:02:04.510 --> 01:02:10.150
 Distributed Iran's absolutely going to say well we want all the uranium to go to Russia or China

824
01:02:10.150 --> 01:02:10.850
 Why?

825
01:02:12.290 --> 01:02:14.130
 So they can get it back. Let's just be honest

826
01:02:14.130 --> 01:02:20.950
 So regards of how you feel Tim the only thing I can tell you based on your feelings and as to whether or not

827
01:02:20.950 --> 01:02:22.610
 Trump has the stomach is

828
01:02:23.350 --> 01:02:29.070
 That might be the only point you have because Trump again, and I've said this already a few times

829
01:02:30.170 --> 01:02:31.870
 Doesn't want to see

830
01:02:31.870 --> 01:02:40.010
 American military personnel die. He wants to limit the casualties. He's never wanted to see

831
01:02:40.010 --> 01:02:45.370
 US military personnel die. He said it many times the one thing he's trying to avoid and again

832
01:02:45.370 --> 01:02:48.210
 He was hoping that this show of force

833
01:02:48.210 --> 01:02:52.870
 Was enough to bring Iran to heal but unfortunately

834
01:02:54.330 --> 01:02:58.990
 Unfortunately, we may have to take the next step. So Timmy boy

835
01:02:59.650 --> 01:03:01.770
 Facts don't give a fuck about your feelings

836
01:03:05.510 --> 01:03:11.150
 So continuing on the Iran train and fuck cart. I mean Tim don't whatever you like him. Good. Whatever

837
01:03:11.150 --> 01:03:14.390
 I'm just tired of hearing these blowhard motherfuckers like

838
01:03:14.930 --> 01:03:19.750
 Davey boy Smith and Tim Cartman Dillon and chunk. I mean chank

839
01:03:19.750 --> 01:03:25.610
 Chank huger like all of these guys even Owen Schreuer has been a whiny bitch these days

840
01:03:25.610 --> 01:03:31.330
 They're all saying the anti-american thing. They're all lockstep

841
01:03:31.970 --> 01:03:34.070
 Patting each other on the back

842
01:03:34.070 --> 01:03:37.290
 America bad Trump idiot, etc

843
01:03:37.290 --> 01:03:40.810
 And I don't agree with everything Trump says or does

844
01:03:41.150 --> 01:03:48.890
 But none of these fuckers none of them none chunk or I'm sorry chank cart Tim Dillon

845
01:03:49.470 --> 01:03:51.210
 Dave Smith

846
01:03:51.210 --> 01:03:56.130
 Owen Schreuer none of them know what the fuck they're talking about

847
01:03:56.790 --> 01:04:00.490
 Yes, even you Owen you guys don't know what you're talking about

848
01:04:01.050 --> 01:04:03.090
 your cherry pick and twist

849
01:04:03.490 --> 01:04:05.590
 history and

850
01:04:05.590 --> 01:04:06.630
 some facts

851
01:04:07.150 --> 01:04:12.890
 To make yourself shine and look like you know what you're talking about, but you don't understand what's happening here and

852
01:04:13.590 --> 01:04:15.350
 when push comes to shove all

853
01:04:16.110 --> 01:04:17.850
 you say is war bad and

854
01:04:18.430 --> 01:04:25.210
 It's Israel's fault and that's all you got you don't have any deep understanding of what's happening. So

855
01:04:25.210 --> 01:04:27.710
 Do yourselves a favor

856
01:04:28.670 --> 01:04:33.410
 Reach out beyond your little bubbles you've created and

857
01:04:33.410 --> 01:04:34.130
 Maybe

858
01:04:34.650 --> 01:04:36.190
 Just maybe

859
01:04:36.190 --> 01:04:43.090
 Interacting with other people maybe even people who are actually from Iran people who are from the area maybe some intelligence

860
01:04:43.090 --> 01:04:48.330
 Oh, you guys don't know any. Oh, never mind. You don't have that ability, which is crazy

861
01:04:48.330 --> 01:04:50.450
 Because you guys are all like bigger than I am

862
01:04:51.110 --> 01:04:56.570
 But yet I can do the due diligence and do the work to get the information out

863
01:04:56.570 --> 01:05:03.150
 But yet you guys are so fucking sloppy and lazy that you continue to push these talking points this

864
01:05:03.410 --> 01:05:10.170
 fucking coordinated narrative to keep yourselves relevant because all you're doing is playing on emotion and

865
01:05:10.750 --> 01:05:19.920
 You really don't care about the facts of the situation. That's it. That being said

866
01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:24.760
 I'm done with those guys. That being said, let's let's continue on to the next point

867
01:05:24.760 --> 01:05:26.960
 I was gonna make about the street of Hormuz, which again

868
01:05:28.180 --> 01:05:28.700
 addresses

869
01:05:29.820 --> 01:05:31.900
 Timmy's feelings Tim Dylan's feelings and

870
01:05:32.940 --> 01:05:34.880
 addresses Dave Smith's

871
01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:39.430
 Half-baked well, not even half-baked very wrong assessment geopolitical assessment here

872
01:05:40.860 --> 01:05:45.070
 Nobody's been talking about this by the way guys. Nobody's been talking about this. I do not know why

873
01:05:46.220 --> 01:05:48.400
 But we're talking about the street of Hormuz

874
01:05:49.600 --> 01:05:51.480
 There's a joint custody there

875
01:05:52.460 --> 01:05:55.400
 on the enforcement, okay, and

876
01:05:55.400 --> 01:05:57.640
 The reality is the street of Hormuz

877
01:05:58.960 --> 01:06:03.220
 You know what? Let me bring up a graphic here. That'll help me explain this to you

878
01:06:03.960 --> 01:06:07.540
 So the street I'm sorry for those that are listening I'll do my best to explain

879
01:06:07.540 --> 01:06:12.400
 I encourage you to watch the video version. You can go to YouTube my channel

880
01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:15.560
 I mean fonts ablaze at fonts ablaze is my handle

881
01:06:16.500 --> 01:06:21.720
 World ablaze with George font. Just look it up. You should be able to find it if you if you prefer to watch

882
01:06:23.040 --> 01:06:28.400
 Spotify, I mean I do load the videos on Spotify. But anyway, I'm I'm starting to ramble. I just want you know

883
01:06:28.940 --> 01:06:32.420
 You can find the visual version of this the video

884
01:06:32.420 --> 01:06:38.520
 So I encourage you to watch it. But anyway, here's here's a graphic. This is going to explain a few things here

885
01:06:38.520 --> 01:06:46.610
 Okay, so here here's the here's the street of Hormuz and what you see here is you see a 21 mile

886
01:06:46.610 --> 01:06:53.760
 Right here choke point right between Oman and Iran now. There's an overlapping 12 mile

887
01:06:55.350 --> 01:06:59.090
 Claims which leaves no international waters. Okay

888
01:07:00.190 --> 01:07:00.810
 and

889
01:07:00.810 --> 01:07:02.850
 it looks like

890
01:07:03.730 --> 01:07:09.750
 It looks like what what the deal is is Iran because because they have the military prowess

891
01:07:10.430 --> 01:07:12.250
 They have been

892
01:07:12.250 --> 01:07:15.210
 antagonizing everybody that goes through this straight

893
01:07:15.990 --> 01:07:22.300
 now the transit passage here the reality is

894
01:07:23.160 --> 01:07:26.360
 Most of the shipping lanes the major shipping lanes here

895
01:07:26.360 --> 01:07:31.780
 I don't know if I'm gonna air over here the major shipping lanes. They reside in the Omani territory

896
01:07:32.460 --> 01:07:36.140
 Yet Iranian forces frequently intercept vessels

897
01:07:36.160 --> 01:07:38.440
 there and

898
01:07:38.980 --> 01:07:46.180
 the issue we have is Oman is really just kind of like the Switzerland of the Middle East and

899
01:07:46.860 --> 01:07:54.040
 so because they are passive in nature and they want to have these amazing relationships with both the West and as well as

900
01:07:54.460 --> 01:07:59.960
 With Iran and everybody else they they they allow Iran to just steamroll them

901
01:07:59.960 --> 01:08:05.200
 The reality is again the major shipping lanes through the street actually go through Omani

902
01:08:05.800 --> 01:08:12.880
 Territorial waters or the territorial waters of Oman Oman does have a military but they choose to be very passive in their approach

903
01:08:14.100 --> 01:08:14.740
 Iran

904
01:08:15.740 --> 01:08:20.740
 Has a military capability through their speedboats and their missiles and launchers

905
01:08:20.740 --> 01:08:26.840
 To drive all the way into the Omani territory or the Oman territorial waters

906
01:08:26.840 --> 01:08:30.260
 And so they have been they have been bullying

907
01:08:30.939 --> 01:08:38.460
 Everybody through the street of Hormuz even though they have no claim to the territorial side of Oman even though all major shipping lanes

908
01:08:38.460 --> 01:08:40.060
 travel through

909
01:08:40.060 --> 01:08:44.060
 Territorial waters of Oman, but Oman will not push back

910
01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:48.960
 What's crazy about this is Oman also has relationships with?

911
01:08:49.340 --> 01:08:50.819
 Britain France

912
01:08:50.819 --> 01:08:59.800
 Etc who also are strategic military partners who both have done shit all or a fuck all they haven't done anything and

913
01:09:00.260 --> 01:09:07.359
 All the years that Iran has existed or at least as long as we're humans resist existed. They've done nothing

914
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:10.140
 Nothing. There's a level of complacency

915
01:09:11.359 --> 01:09:12.880
 from Europe

916
01:09:13.680 --> 01:09:15.800
 from the European

917
01:09:16.540 --> 01:09:17.920
 Allies of Oman

918
01:09:18.500 --> 01:09:27.180
 For whatever reason and it's really not clear as to why other than they're just afraid to enforce the area with Oman

919
01:09:28.359 --> 01:09:30.380
 And Oman is very passive

920
01:09:30.380 --> 01:09:37.600
 Okay. So the thing about the street is does Iran have any legal claim?

921
01:09:37.979 --> 01:09:42.040
 do they have the right to actually enforce a

922
01:09:42.899 --> 01:09:46.439
 blockade or a two million dollar toll or

923
01:09:47.660 --> 01:09:52.840
 An stop any vessels and the answer is no they don't they literally don't

924
01:09:54.040 --> 01:09:56.820
 so let me let me go ahead and open up my

925
01:09:57.300 --> 01:10:08.210
 Assessment here. We're going to read through some of this here. Okay, so here's the strategic dynamics of sovereignty challenges in the street of Hormuz. Okay, so

926
01:10:08.870 --> 01:10:11.710
 I'm just gonna read through this because it took time to put it together

927
01:10:11.710 --> 01:10:16.170
 And so I'm gonna read it for you. So here you go. Here's my executive summary on this

928
01:10:16.170 --> 01:10:23.050
 So the street of Hormuz remains one of the world's most contested maritime choke points characterized by a complex interplay between the Omani

929
01:10:23.050 --> 01:10:25.310
 territorial rights as I just said and

930
01:10:27.130 --> 01:10:28.090
 Iranian military

931
01:10:28.090 --> 01:10:37.590
 Assertiveness, so despite the primary international shipping lanes, which again go through Omani or Oman's territorial waters

932
01:10:38.210 --> 01:10:42.770
 Iran exercises significant de facto control through military leverage

933
01:10:42.770 --> 01:10:44.670
 aggressive patrolling and the

934
01:10:44.670 --> 01:10:48.630
 imposition of unilateral regulatory regimes

935
01:10:48.630 --> 01:10:54.270
 current intelligence from 2025 2026 indicates a worsening trend of Iranian

936
01:10:54.270 --> 01:10:57.510
 encroachment on Omani sovereignty

937
01:10:58.090 --> 01:10:59.930
 and again

938
01:10:59.930 --> 01:11:05.650
 Challenging Oman's territorial waters is challenging Omani sovereignty

939
01:11:06.910 --> 01:11:09.850
 But moving on this includes this seizure

940
01:11:09.850 --> 01:11:12.650
 It's actually this interesting. I forgot about this

941
01:11:12.650 --> 01:11:19.310
 This actually includes the seizure of a vessel within Omani waters the implementation of unauthorized transit tolls

942
01:11:19.310 --> 01:11:22.730
 Which you know, that's where the two million dollar toll comes from

943
01:11:23.610 --> 01:11:30.510
 Which is per vessel and the deployment of a military doctrine designed to completely surround the waterway

944
01:11:31.250 --> 01:11:36.990
 Oman maintaining a policy of active neutrality balances these pressures to a multi-faceted

945
01:11:37.370 --> 01:11:39.530
 defense architecture

946
01:11:39.530 --> 01:11:41.850
 involving long-standing

947
01:11:41.850 --> 01:11:43.030
 Western

948
01:11:43.030 --> 01:11:47.750
 alliances the UK and US and of course France as well

949
01:11:48.550 --> 01:11:54.130
 And there's also emerging Indo-pacific partners such as India and

950
01:11:54.730 --> 01:12:00.070
 There's the functional security ties with Tehran itself. So

951
01:12:00.070 --> 01:12:07.190
 The security ties with Tehran is really an appeasement to Iran to avoid any major conflict because

952
01:12:08.110 --> 01:12:10.550
 Oman doesn't want to get into any major

953
01:12:10.930 --> 01:12:17.310
 Kinetic conflict with Iran being that Iran has a much more superior a much bigger military

954
01:12:17.750 --> 01:12:24.210
 And their capabilities are much stronger. Although although Oman has strategic military relationships with the UK

955
01:12:24.210 --> 01:12:28.250
 Which is honestly their oldest Western ally, by the way

956
01:12:28.830 --> 01:12:34.010
 Yet we haven't heard a peep from the UK in any conflict any

957
01:12:34.010 --> 01:12:39.990
 Encroachment anything that Iran has done to challenge Oman sovereignty. The UK has been silent

958
01:12:39.990 --> 01:12:45.210
 And I'm not just talking about the conflict here in 2026. I'm talking about throughout history

959
01:12:45.210 --> 01:12:48.390
 They haven't really done much of shit to back Oman

960
01:12:49.150 --> 01:12:53.650
 So I'm gonna keep reading this here. And so let's keep going

961
01:12:53.650 --> 01:12:59.270
 Let's talk about the geography the geographic and territorial framework here. Okay, so this is important

962
01:12:59.270 --> 01:13:06.850
 The Strait of Hormuz is defined by extreme geographic proximity and overlapping legal claims that complicate

963
01:13:06.850 --> 01:13:13.930
 Unilateral control so there's the width in the overlap here at its narrowest point the strait is only 21 nautical miles

964
01:13:13.930 --> 01:13:14.830
 Wide

965
01:13:15.530 --> 01:13:20.590
 Iran and Oman claim 12 nautical mile territorial sea

966
01:13:20.590 --> 01:13:24.830
 Okay, resulting in a total overlap of 24 nautical miles

967
01:13:24.830 --> 01:13:31.590
 Consequently, there's no corridor or high seas or international waters in the middle of the strait

968
01:13:31.950 --> 01:13:37.810
 So there's no there's no international waters. No like non territorial waters. There's an overlap of territory, right?

969
01:13:37.890 --> 01:13:42.390
 I see this I kind of block my face, but you know, you have you have Oman

970
01:13:42.990 --> 01:13:45.150
 Okay Oman Iran

971
01:13:45.870 --> 01:13:53.210
 These are their territorial waters and you can see where they meet but there's there's a there's a part of the strait where they actually overlap

972
01:13:54.090 --> 01:13:56.990
 Which makes it complicated? Okay

973
01:13:58.370 --> 01:13:59.810
 so in

974
01:14:00.310 --> 01:14:06.850
 1974 there was a boundary agreement. The maritime board was established via 1974 agreement. It was ratified in 1975 and

975
01:14:07.530 --> 01:14:11.550
 It actually regards the continental shelf itself

976
01:14:11.550 --> 01:14:14.930
 So the boundary consists of 22 turning points extending

977
01:14:15.710 --> 01:14:21.030
 120 almost 125 nautical miles. It's a hundred and twenty four point eight five nautical miles

978
01:14:21.030 --> 01:14:24.310
 It follows a median line generally

979
01:14:25.070 --> 01:14:30.290
 Which is a specific three nautical mile overlap that exists between Iran's

980
01:14:31.230 --> 01:14:33.350
 Lorak Island and Oman's greater

981
01:14:33.930 --> 01:14:38.090
 Kwan island so the island control situation here though

982
01:14:38.090 --> 01:14:41.210
 Iran does control seven or eight major islands in the strait

983
01:14:41.550 --> 01:14:43.570
 as well as some

984
01:14:43.570 --> 01:14:45.950
 strategical vital

985
01:14:45.950 --> 01:14:51.410
 other islands that that were the positioned at so aside from like

986
01:14:52.690 --> 01:14:54.950
 Hormuz itself Kesham and Lorac

987
01:14:55.950 --> 01:15:02.750
 They also have the strategic vital toons and the Abu Musa and I'm sure I mispronounced all those but

988
01:15:02.750 --> 01:15:11.470
 They have these other islands that allow Iran to project surveillance and military force directly over the navigational of the channel

989
01:15:13.120 --> 01:15:20.040
 That's a lot, right? So so far so far what you're hearing. I hope you're hearing. I hope you're getting aside from me

990
01:15:20.040 --> 01:15:23.920
 not pronouncing half these names probably correctly is that

991
01:15:25.140 --> 01:15:27.520
 Iran has a history of encroaching on

992
01:15:28.840 --> 01:15:29.480
 Oman

993
01:15:29.480 --> 01:15:32.920
 Iran has a history of challenging Oman's sovereignty

994
01:15:32.920 --> 01:15:41.080
 So far from what I've read and what I'm telling you is Iran doesn't have a right to patrol

995
01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:44.060
 Restrict or close off the Strait of Hormuz

996
01:15:45.040 --> 01:15:48.560
 They just don't it's not theirs

997
01:15:49.720 --> 01:15:53.820
 The major shipping lanes don't even go through their territorial waters

998
01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:57.340
 But because Oman is so passive

999
01:15:58.620 --> 01:16:00.740
 They rely on their

1000
01:16:00.740 --> 01:16:05.320
 Relationships or Western allies in the relationships or oldest one being the UK themselves

1001
01:16:05.960 --> 01:16:10.120
 Yet nobody wants to challenge Iran or push back. Why?

1002
01:16:10.120 --> 01:16:12.440
 Because they're afraid of the conflict

1003
01:16:12.440 --> 01:16:20.410
 Bottom line that doesn't mean Iran has the right. All right, so let's keep going

1004
01:16:21.090 --> 01:16:25.510
 I kind of touched on a little bit. So let's let's go over the navigational control and shipping lanes

1005
01:16:26.690 --> 01:16:29.770
 So the physical the physical

1006
01:16:29.770 --> 01:16:33.550
 And if you're watching I'm highlighting right here using my cursor right here

1007
01:16:33.550 --> 01:16:40.450
 the physical location of shipping lanes is a primary point of contention as they reside almost

1008
01:16:42.050 --> 01:16:48.710
 Exclusively under Omani jurisdiction at the Straits most critical juncture

1009
01:16:49.890 --> 01:16:55.330
 The internationally recognized TSS or the traffic separation scheme

1010
01:16:55.790 --> 01:17:00.230
 adopted by the International Maritime Organization or the IMO

1011
01:17:00.870 --> 01:17:07.650
 Organizes safe passage for large tankers at the Straits narrowest point both the inbound which is the northern which is

1012
01:17:08.450 --> 01:17:13.330
 More towards Iran and the outbound southern channels which lie entirely

1013
01:17:13.330 --> 01:17:20.410
 Within Omani territorial waters or see this is due to the greater depth of the water near the Muslim Dom

1014
01:17:20.410 --> 01:17:27.250
 Peninsula so again the the major navigational channels here go through Omani territorials

1015
01:17:27.890 --> 01:17:28.710
 waters here

1016
01:17:29.210 --> 01:17:32.130
 Now there's been a shift during 2026 because of the crisis

1017
01:17:32.130 --> 01:17:36.190
 So the heightened tensions have four significant changes in maritime behavior

1018
01:17:36.190 --> 01:17:43.790
 The avoidance of Iran by mid 2025 and into 2026 the shipping patterns shifted further south

1019
01:17:43.790 --> 01:17:48.330
 So vessels began hugging the Omani coastline and moving into the Emirati

1020
01:17:48.330 --> 01:17:50.330
 territorial waters to avoid Iranian

1021
01:17:51.410 --> 01:17:52.990
 territory entirely and

1022
01:17:53.950 --> 01:17:59.070
 Then there's the competing schemes here. So Iran is attempted to challenge Omani control by unveiling its own

1023
01:17:59.070 --> 01:17:59.910
 competing

1024
01:18:00.430 --> 01:18:05.290
 There's Iran again making it up right like no no that we we don't agree with any of it

1025
01:18:05.290 --> 01:18:07.850
 So we're gonna do it this way and you're all good to just fall in line, okay

1026
01:18:07.850 --> 01:18:12.970
 But anyway, they're unveiling its own competing TSS situation in Iranian waters

1027
01:18:13.490 --> 01:18:20.230
 threatening ships that do not coordinate with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or the IRGC and

1028
01:18:20.230 --> 01:18:22.310
 Then there's the encroachment in lawfare

1029
01:18:22.310 --> 01:18:28.570
 So Iran utilizes a combination of physical force and legal maneuvering to undermine Omani sovereignty and extract

1030
01:18:28.570 --> 01:18:33.850
 Economic concessions so those being the tolls the two million dollar toll fees

1031
01:18:35.290 --> 01:18:41.870
 The challenge of Omani sovereignty by encroaching on their territorial waters and trying to enforce their own

1032
01:18:42.530 --> 01:18:44.890
 policy they're policing in

1033
01:18:44.890 --> 01:18:46.690
 Omani territory and

1034
01:18:47.410 --> 01:18:49.670
 Here's the violations of the Omani just jurisdiction

1035
01:18:49.670 --> 01:18:56.830
 So there's been the vessel seizures Iranian forces have a history of intercepting foreign vessels within Omani territorial waters

1036
01:18:56.830 --> 01:19:02.210
 notable precedent from 2019 seizure of the Stena Imperial

1037
01:19:02.870 --> 01:19:05.610
 Which Iranian authorities later admitted

1038
01:19:06.570 --> 01:19:08.870
 Admitted that it occurred

1039
01:19:08.870 --> 01:19:11.650
 Outside of their waters outside of Iranian waters

1040
01:19:12.350 --> 01:19:15.700
 There's a bouncing tactic. So the IRGC Navy

1041
01:19:16.350 --> 01:19:19.330
 Vessels frequently approach merchant ships in Omani water

1042
01:19:19.330 --> 01:19:25.670
 So what they'll do is a rush out come back rush out come back in a way to threaten and intimidate these ships and

1043
01:19:25.670 --> 01:19:28.250
 Get them to accept them to board and conduct

1044
01:19:28.930 --> 01:19:31.710
 inspections which basically just in tour

1045
01:19:31.710 --> 01:19:36.890
 Ignores entirely the established maritime borders and then there's the unauthorized tolls

1046
01:19:37.290 --> 01:19:40.610
 So Iran has recently institutionalized a Tehran toll

1047
01:19:40.610 --> 01:19:46.050
 Charging up to 2 million per vessel because ships must use lanes in Omani waters to trans

1048
01:19:46.050 --> 01:19:48.090
 the choke point

1049
01:19:48.090 --> 01:19:54.300
 so the problem here in

1050
01:19:54.300 --> 01:19:59.760
 responding to again Dave Smith and Tim Cartman Dillon is that

1051
01:20:01.200 --> 01:20:05.600
 Iran doesn't even have a right to enforce anything in the street as it is anyway

1052
01:20:05.600 --> 01:20:13.660
 Iran has been acting illegally for I don't know maybe 47 years or so ever since the Islamic regime has been in place

1053
01:20:13.660 --> 01:20:20.720
 They have never had a right. Let's just say since 1974 since since the agreement of the separation of the territorial water

1054
01:20:20.720 --> 01:20:26.940
 Let's just say that let's just say since 1974 at least Iran has been challenging Omani sovereignty

1055
01:20:26.940 --> 01:20:29.180
 Iran has been militarily

1056
01:20:30.860 --> 01:20:32.060
 antagonizing and

1057
01:20:32.060 --> 01:20:34.320
 bullying Oman by

1058
01:20:34.320 --> 01:20:36.560
 antagonizing ships that

1059
01:20:36.560 --> 01:20:39.610
 Primarily travel through Omani territorial waters

1060
01:20:40.300 --> 01:20:47.610
 Iran has no right whatsoever never did so for those who are arguing that we shouldn't be there because it's Iran's

1061
01:20:48.620 --> 01:20:51.330
 Choice, it's Iran's right to control their own

1062
01:20:51.330 --> 01:20:58.190
 Straight it's not they're fucking straight. No one's talked about this. That's straight is supposed to be a joint custodial

1063
01:20:59.550 --> 01:21:03.390
 Relationship between Iran and Oman and the fact that the major

1064
01:21:03.870 --> 01:21:09.170
 Shipping lanes actually travel primarily through Omani territorial waters territorial water. Sorry

1065
01:21:09.170 --> 01:21:16.370
 Really enforces furthermore enforces the fact that Iran has been the illegal

1066
01:21:17.130 --> 01:21:20.330
 aggressor the entire time at least since

1067
01:21:20.970 --> 01:21:26.530
 1974 when the boundaries were established or ratified in 1975

1068
01:21:27.390 --> 01:21:28.110
 so

1069
01:21:29.420 --> 01:21:31.800
 You all don't have an argument here

1070
01:21:32.660 --> 01:21:39.040
 Oman's major Western allies are the UK and the US and thus far the UK has done fuck-all

1071
01:21:39.040 --> 01:21:41.300
 The US is doing something

1072
01:21:41.300 --> 01:21:42.200
 Okay

1073
01:21:42.720 --> 01:21:47.380
 The argument of whether we should be there or not doesn't hold any actual water

1074
01:21:47.380 --> 01:21:50.500
 It doesn't we should be there

1075
01:21:51.640 --> 01:21:55.600
 We should be there because the UK isn't the UK hasn't been doing anything

1076
01:21:55.600 --> 01:22:03.680
 The UK was fine to be complicit and let Oman and and their their sovereignty be challenged

1077
01:22:03.680 --> 01:22:11.220
 By Iran constantly Oman is trying to stay neutral because they don't have a large military force

1078
01:22:11.220 --> 01:22:14.600
 They cannot compete with Iran's military. They know this

1079
01:22:15.260 --> 01:22:20.300
 Okay, they're trying to be or remain to be the Switzerland of the Middle East and

1080
01:22:20.300 --> 01:22:26.800
 While that's a position that many people like Davey boy Smith advocate for the US and being

1081
01:22:26.800 --> 01:22:31.800
 Neutral take care of ourselves and let's not have engaged in any conflict

1082
01:22:31.800 --> 01:22:37.780
 the dangers in that particular policy put you in a position to be just like Oman where

1083
01:22:37.780 --> 01:22:41.400
 you have to constantly be the nice guy just so that you're not

1084
01:22:42.300 --> 01:22:46.000
 overrun attacked and dismantled and

1085
01:22:47.000 --> 01:22:50.480
 Oman's position has put them where they're at

1086
01:22:50.480 --> 01:22:59.080
 By constantly trying to appease the larger more powerful evil aggressor Iran to keep peace and

1087
01:22:59.080 --> 01:23:01.460
 That's what's happening. So

1088
01:23:01.460 --> 01:23:06.700
 Basically where I'm going with all this what I have said is Iran has been

1089
01:23:06.700 --> 01:23:07.600
 illegally

1090
01:23:07.600 --> 01:23:14.080
 illegally encroaching on Omani sovereignty and illegally antagonizing ships and

1091
01:23:14.080 --> 01:23:18.880
 Illegally boarding ships and illegally inspecting ships since at least

1092
01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:21.680
 1974 or let's say 75

1093
01:23:21.680 --> 01:23:29.850
 When it was ratified when the territories the the waterways the territorial waters were established between Oman and

1094
01:23:30.560 --> 01:23:36.540
 Iran and with that being said, I think I'm done with the wrong right now because I

1095
01:23:36.540 --> 01:23:43.420
 Feel like I'm just talking into the void no much helmet how much facts and data I present and how many times

1096
01:23:43.420 --> 01:23:49.280
 They debunk all these fucking idiots arguments. It doesn't matter because these guys have

1097
01:23:49.280 --> 01:23:53.200
 Have the audience for whatever reason because they're just appealing

1098
01:23:53.860 --> 01:23:55.080
 to feelings

1099
01:23:55.080 --> 01:24:00.500
 They don't have any real substance between the arguments it behind the arguments

1100
01:24:00.500 --> 01:24:08.240
 I mean, they don't have any any any real facts and data to back up anything outside of their feelings and

1101
01:24:08.900 --> 01:24:10.900
 It's unfortunate that people are being misled

1102
01:24:10.900 --> 01:24:17.360
 Now does does our pocketbook hurt right now fuck yeah does do I like it? No, I don't

1103
01:24:17.360 --> 01:24:25.160
 But should Iran continue to do what they do? No should the Islamic regime continue to exist? Fuck. No

1104
01:24:26.020 --> 01:24:29.600
 Something has to happen. There hasn't been peace in the Middle East

1105
01:24:31.940 --> 01:24:37.040
 At least at least since the Islamic regime came into power in 1978

1106
01:24:37.900 --> 01:24:40.080
 okay, and

1107
01:24:40.080 --> 01:24:40.580
 so

1108
01:24:41.140 --> 01:24:47.280
 The reality is that they have the last 47 years

1109
01:24:47.480 --> 01:24:50.000
 challenging Omani

1110
01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:51.400
 territorial waters

1111
01:24:52.420 --> 01:24:53.360
 Okay

1112
01:24:54.020 --> 01:24:56.360
 These these territorial waters

1113
01:24:56.360 --> 01:24:58.220
 have been

1114
01:24:58.220 --> 01:25:03.740
 ratified in 1975 before this is how regime came to power and

1115
01:25:03.740 --> 01:25:08.240
 Iran has been antagonizing and encroaching at least the Islamic regime has

1116
01:25:08.240 --> 01:25:12.220
 They have been bullying Oman and everybody who uses those waterways

1117
01:25:13.660 --> 01:25:18.680
 And Iran doesn't like that. They no longer have control. I know everybody thinks they have control

1118
01:25:18.680 --> 01:25:22.200
 They're saying Iran controls the straight-o-form was no they actually don't

1119
01:25:23.180 --> 01:25:24.480
 Because if they did

1120
01:25:24.480 --> 01:25:26.540
 They'd have money

1121
01:25:26.540 --> 01:25:31.280
 They'd be able to pay their proxies. They'd be able to buy weapons

1122
01:25:31.280 --> 01:25:37.840
 They'd be able to continue to produce their drones. They would be able to remain in power

1123
01:25:37.840 --> 01:25:43.680
 there wouldn't be a power struggle between the Islamic regime and the IR GC and so

1124
01:25:44.740 --> 01:25:50.780
 Now I'm really gonna wrap this up with all that being said Timmy Dillon and

1125
01:25:50.780 --> 01:25:51.660
 Davey Boy Smith

1126
01:25:51.660 --> 01:25:57.860
 You guys need to just stick to comedy and shut the fuck up. All right guys. We're now at the home stretch here

1127
01:25:57.860 --> 01:25:58.440
 All right

1128
01:25:58.440 --> 01:26:05.360
 So let's let's move on to some other kind of far out there things that we didn't think whatever happened what our are

1129
01:26:05.360 --> 01:26:12.100
 Happening and I'm talking about the cars the vehicles are going to be buying in 2027

1130
01:26:13.000 --> 01:26:14.040
 moving forward

1131
01:26:14.040 --> 01:26:19.100
 They're all going to be basically you're gonna be driving a vehicle that is

1132
01:26:19.100 --> 01:26:23.780
 Imposing a surveillance state on you that we're talking about vehicles. I'll be implementing

1133
01:26:23.780 --> 01:26:30.560
 Biometric systems that are gonna analyze your behavior. They're gonna they're gonna analyze your emotional state

1134
01:26:30.560 --> 01:26:34.640
 They're gonna actually test the alcohol in your breath without you even knowing they're doing it

1135
01:26:35.640 --> 01:26:39.960
 it's going to do all these things and it's going to be recording your data and

1136
01:26:40.500 --> 01:26:48.360
 So let's kind of go over that a bit. So let's start here. I'm gonna start with the biometric and behavioral monitoring systems

1137
01:26:49.960 --> 01:26:51.080
 Okay, so

1138
01:26:51.080 --> 01:26:52.760
 starting with biometrics

1139
01:26:52.760 --> 01:26:59.920
 Modern vehicles utilize a multimodal approach to monitor occupants often employing sensors that require no active participation from the driver

1140
01:26:59.920 --> 01:27:03.860
 So basically meaning like you don't even know it's happening. It's just it's happening

1141
01:27:03.860 --> 01:27:06.940
 It's how we're doing it a lot of a lot of ways they do it or this

1142
01:27:07.500 --> 01:27:15.020
 So let's talk about camera based driver monitoring, which is also called DMS. It's a standardized in vehicles with advanced automation

1143
01:27:15.020 --> 01:27:19.440
 Infrared cameras are the primary tool for assessing driver state

1144
01:27:19.440 --> 01:27:22.980
 So they do this through visual attentive

1145
01:27:23.900 --> 01:27:26.900
 Attentiveness, sorry systems track eye gaze

1146
01:27:28.380 --> 01:27:30.900
 All right, so I gaze blink rate

1147
01:27:30.900 --> 01:27:32.760
 Okay and

1148
01:27:32.760 --> 01:27:38.600
 Perk close which is percentage of eyelid closure to identify fatigue or distraction

1149
01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:43.580
 So just based on your eyes how your eyes look and what they're doing if you blink too fast, whatever

1150
01:27:44.280 --> 01:27:46.460
 They can determine that you're either

1151
01:27:47.040 --> 01:27:51.600
 Not paying attention or you're sleeping. There's also be physical indicators

1152
01:27:51.600 --> 01:27:57.660
 So cameras from manufacturers like BMW Ford and Genesis ensure the driver is focused on the roadway

1153
01:27:58.500 --> 01:28:05.860
 Facial and emotional analysis so advanced algorithms analyze facial features to detect stress

1154
01:28:05.860 --> 01:28:11.420
 sudden illness or high-level emotional states now the high-level emotional states an interesting one because

1155
01:28:12.280 --> 01:28:15.160
 That's going to lead into later

1156
01:28:15.900 --> 01:28:18.140
 Where we talk about the kill switch

1157
01:28:18.820 --> 01:28:22.300
 Because if your emotional state is too high

1158
01:28:22.300 --> 01:28:27.800
 It could be deemed that you are not fit to drive a vehicle and your vehicle won't even start

1159
01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:34.740
 Now I got a scenario for you on that one. So let's talk about the physiological in cabin clinics

1160
01:28:35.440 --> 01:28:41.400
 So there's gonna be vital sign cameras systems developed by Philips to use color changes in the skin to monitor heart

1161
01:28:42.920 --> 01:28:46.440
 respiratory heart and respiration rates without physical contact

1162
01:28:47.240 --> 01:28:51.620
 This is trippy they're gonna start using also radar-based sensing companies like

1163
01:28:52.000 --> 01:28:55.280
 Kerasis use micro radar to monitor heart rate

1164
01:28:55.600 --> 01:29:03.080
 variability and respiration for all passengers and they're gonna be integrating this into the seats steering wheels and

1165
01:29:03.780 --> 01:29:09.360
 There's also like what they call brainwaves. So experimental projects like Jaguar Land Rovers

1166
01:29:09.360 --> 01:29:15.720
 6th sense will explore using EEG sensors in the seat and wheel to monitor alertness

1167
01:29:17.660 --> 01:29:24.400
 So so far they're gonna be just using these systems to make sure that you're alert aware paying attention to the road

1168
01:29:24.400 --> 01:29:28.100
 But I already see a few flaws here if you'll blink too much

1169
01:29:28.100 --> 01:29:34.380
 If your eyes don't open all the way to a certain level that it deems that you're actually like not sleeping or paying attention

1170
01:29:35.500 --> 01:29:37.200
 There could be

1171
01:29:37.200 --> 01:29:40.120
 evasive maneuvers taken by the vehicle

1172
01:29:40.120 --> 01:29:45.880
 Basically, probably a shutdown. I don't know but let's continue to read this or I'll read it to you

1173
01:29:45.880 --> 01:29:46.520
 So

1174
01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:50.060
 Here's the passive impairment an

1175
01:29:50.740 --> 01:29:55.380
 Alcohol detection system that will be integrated and I know that this is something that they wanted to put in

1176
01:29:56.340 --> 01:30:02.960
 In 2024, but they missed the deadline. So this is absolutely mandated as something has to be in vehicles in 2027

1177
01:30:04.020 --> 01:30:04.580
 so

1178
01:30:04.580 --> 01:30:10.660
 Here's the major focus of the automotive safety is the passive detection of alcohol

1179
01:30:10.660 --> 01:30:17.900
 Moving away from active breathalyzer tests to seamlessly integrate sensors, and here's how they do it. They got infrared

1180
01:30:17.900 --> 01:30:24.260
 spectroscopy, which will measure BAC in skin capillaries or

1181
01:30:24.260 --> 01:30:30.720
 Exhaled breath you'd have breath-based sensors inside the car. They'll analyze naturally

1182
01:30:30.720 --> 01:30:33.640
 exhaled air within the cabin

1183
01:30:33.640 --> 01:30:36.090
 Sweat analysis so this will be done by

1184
01:30:36.890 --> 01:30:42.330
 Detecting levels to the skin by contact on control so like steering wheel

1185
01:30:42.330 --> 01:30:48.070
 Shifting knobs buttons like ignition all that and then there's what's called an approach gate

1186
01:30:48.070 --> 01:30:57.190
 So there's cameras that would read the exterior that would monitor you the way you're walking and determine as to whether or not

1187
01:30:57.190 --> 01:31:00.490
 You're drunk based on how you're walking or how you're handling yourself

1188
01:31:01.350 --> 01:31:05.130
 So this this one here is kind of hard to argue with right?

1189
01:31:05.130 --> 01:31:07.070
 I mean the only thing I can say is

1190
01:31:07.910 --> 01:31:14.250
 there are certain products who consume that use certain alcohol sugars, for example or

1191
01:31:14.630 --> 01:31:17.530
 certain products or food to eat that would

1192
01:31:18.690 --> 01:31:20.130
 exhibit or

1193
01:31:20.130 --> 01:31:28.830
 lead to a false positive because your breath can be read as having alcohol on the breath as in you drank alcohol and

1194
01:31:28.830 --> 01:31:31.730
 Consumed it and you're drunk or impaired

1195
01:31:31.730 --> 01:31:37.670
 But we know that there are false positives out there and we also know that there are certain things you consume

1196
01:31:37.670 --> 01:31:44.870
 That can lead to a detection of alcohol in the breath when you actually haven't physically drank any alcohol

1197
01:31:44.870 --> 01:31:47.690
 So there is a little issue there, but

1198
01:31:48.390 --> 01:31:55.450
 It is hard to argue against drunk driving as in allowing drunk driving and it listen guys

1199
01:31:55.450 --> 01:32:00.830
 It's 20 fucking 26 at this point if you're still trying to drink and drive you're a loser

1200
01:32:01.730 --> 01:32:05.210
 Use an uber man get a cab stay home call a friend

1201
01:32:05.210 --> 01:32:11.590
 Whatever the fuck it is make arrangements if you're gonna go out on the town and drink there isn't really too much of an excuse

1202
01:32:12.270 --> 01:32:15.870
 And I say too much because there could be some crazy weird

1203
01:32:16.790 --> 01:32:22.650
 World ending emergency, I guess but that aside which is very rare and probably will not happen

1204
01:32:23.930 --> 01:32:27.810
 You shouldn't be getting behind a wheel if you're drinking so there's that now

1205
01:32:29.110 --> 01:32:30.810
 This leads to the kill switch

1206
01:32:30.810 --> 01:32:34.950
 The Halt Act the Halt drunk driving act

1207
01:32:35.570 --> 01:32:41.770
 It mandates that new passenger vehicles including technology to prevent or limit motor vehicle operation

1208
01:32:41.770 --> 01:32:45.270
 If impairment is detected and here's a timeline

1209
01:32:45.270 --> 01:32:51.890
 So again, the mandate was this requires passive monitoring of driver performance and BAC levels

1210
01:32:51.890 --> 01:32:54.270
 It was supposed to be

1211
01:32:54.270 --> 01:32:58.290
 Initially implemented in 2024, but they missed that deadline

1212
01:32:58.290 --> 01:33:04.230
 It's because that vehicles and whatever it just wasn't ready commercially the integration

1213
01:33:05.290 --> 01:33:12.710
 but it has been mandated is now mandatory to include this and

1214
01:33:12.710 --> 01:33:18.530
 It's currently targeted for the 2027 model year. So it's happening. And

1215
01:33:18.530 --> 01:33:24.210
 So what this is what's gonna happen? This is the interventions if if there's alcohol detected, okay

1216
01:33:25.610 --> 01:33:30.610
 There will be a no-start condition so lock in the transmission or disabling the ignition while the vehicles parked

1217
01:33:30.610 --> 01:33:32.610
 It's gonna be a limp home mode

1218
01:33:33.150 --> 01:33:38.390
 So this can restrict speed and increase following distance. So that is between you and another car

1219
01:33:39.310 --> 01:33:41.370
 And it'll do this via adaptive cruise control

1220
01:33:41.370 --> 01:33:46.430
 So the vehicle will take over via cruise control and basically kind of drive for you or will drive for you

1221
01:33:46.430 --> 01:33:48.210
 And there's also an emergency stop

1222
01:33:48.210 --> 01:33:54.190
 So the vehicle will start to steer the vehicle to the shoulder and we'll bring it to complete hold and then there's the assist

1223
01:33:54.190 --> 01:34:01.170
 Request where this is basically they call emergency services, which will lead to the police and

1224
01:34:01.170 --> 01:34:04.550
 It can unlock doors and activate flashers

1225
01:34:08.200 --> 01:34:14.980
 Crazy right and then here's here's the other part of all this technology that to me is a little more concerning

1226
01:34:16.020 --> 01:34:16.640
 so

1227
01:34:16.640 --> 01:34:18.400
 There's gonna be

1228
01:34:18.400 --> 01:34:24.260
 Surveillance technology stuff that you would only see in probably a James Bond movie like spy tech

1229
01:34:24.260 --> 01:34:26.580
 That's gonna be also used against you

1230
01:34:26.580 --> 01:34:30.700
 so there's gonna be sensors in there that are gonna be able to

1231
01:34:31.740 --> 01:34:38.980
 Determine your emotional state, okay emotional state and also read your damn lips

1232
01:34:39.780 --> 01:34:45.590
 So let's talk about the emotional state. There's going to be

1233
01:34:45.590 --> 01:34:50.650
 Excitation mapping there's patents from Denso and other explicitly

1234
01:34:50.650 --> 01:34:52.670
 explicitly categorized

1235
01:34:52.670 --> 01:35:00.630
 Excite excitation as a monitorable state so god I cannot read

1236
01:35:01.750 --> 01:35:06.430
 It's getting long in this episode guys, but anyway, there's gonna be excitation mapping

1237
01:35:06.430 --> 01:35:12.350
 There's also gonna be a motion recognition. There's gonna be disabling operation now here

1238
01:35:12.350 --> 01:35:20.230
 Here's interesting if a driver is deemed unfit due to extreme agitation the halt act framework could allow the vehicle to disable itself

1239
01:35:21.830 --> 01:35:26.830
 But the problem with that is there's a debate as to whether or not there will actually be an emergency override

1240
01:35:26.830 --> 01:35:30.330
 Because imagine you're getting chased by a fucking axe murderer

1241
01:35:30.330 --> 01:35:33.790
 Someone with a gun and your car is like right fucking there

1242
01:35:33.790 --> 01:35:38.110
 You're like, I'm gonna get in my car and get the hell out of here, but you're emotionally worked up

1243
01:35:38.110 --> 01:35:42.670
 You're too agitated and too excited. So so you get in your car. Your car is like

1244
01:35:43.410 --> 01:35:44.330
 Can't fucking drive

1245
01:35:45.210 --> 01:35:49.250
 Yeah, you're not you're not you're not in a condition to get behind this wheel and drive this car

1246
01:35:49.250 --> 01:35:52.750
 you need to calm the fuck down and

1247
01:35:52.750 --> 01:35:55.270
 While you're waiting and arguing with your damn car to start

1248
01:35:55.790 --> 01:36:01.790
 Said axe murderer or guy with gun will just unalive you so I

1249
01:36:01.790 --> 01:36:03.550
 See lawsuits coming

1250
01:36:04.570 --> 01:36:10.790
 Given that scenario that situation like you're in danger and you needed away, of course, you're gonna be emotionally excited or

1251
01:36:11.750 --> 01:36:14.310
 What not so yeah, I don't know about that one

1252
01:36:14.330 --> 01:36:21.210
 And here's the other one. Here's the here's the continuation of spy tech, right? So this emerging surveillance lip-reading technology

1253
01:36:21.210 --> 01:36:23.590
 This is this has been

1254
01:36:23.590 --> 01:36:26.370
 Developed by Ford Ford has filed a patent

1255
01:36:26.370 --> 01:36:31.030
 For in-car lip-reading technology and they're trying to say that well

1256
01:36:31.030 --> 01:36:34.150
 You know if the cabins noisy in the microphones that don't pick up then

1257
01:36:34.150 --> 01:36:39.470
 You know, we can read your lips using other technologies and I have a problem with even microphones listen to me

1258
01:36:39.470 --> 01:36:40.910
 Anyway, so that shouldn't be happening

1259
01:36:40.910 --> 01:36:46.690
 But here's the operational trigger the system activates during high ambient noise, okay

1260
01:36:47.730 --> 01:36:48.510
 and

1261
01:36:48.510 --> 01:36:55.760
 This is how the mechanism works. So the the machine will use or it will use machine learning

1262
01:36:56.250 --> 01:36:58.350
 trained on lip movements

1263
01:36:58.990 --> 01:37:03.710
 It may also emit in audible sound waves. Basically is going to use

1264
01:37:03.710 --> 01:37:06.820
 Radar is going to analyze echoes that bounce off your mouth

1265
01:37:07.410 --> 01:37:10.410
 To determine what you're fucking saying

1266
01:37:13.370 --> 01:37:15.270
 What the fuck?

1267
01:37:16.230 --> 01:37:16.490
 Hello

1268
01:37:18.090 --> 01:37:24.410
 Well, the spy tech is used again is going to be used against you in your own fucking cars and then

1269
01:37:25.990 --> 01:37:29.370
 And then there's the data and privacy concerns. You see

1270
01:37:32.440 --> 01:37:36.580
 everything about you that's being read your emotional state the

1271
01:37:37.400 --> 01:37:39.720
 Time of day you drive how fast you drive

1272
01:37:41.680 --> 01:37:49.000
 You sweat too much bling too much look away maybe whatever all of this data is going to be collected and

1273
01:37:49.000 --> 01:37:51.900
 It's and and there's been talks of

1274
01:37:51.900 --> 01:37:56.620
 This being provided to the insurance companies and even law enforcement

1275
01:37:58.410 --> 01:38:05.910
 Insurance companies will now be able to charge you a custom rate based on your driving or what it determines to be

1276
01:38:06.870 --> 01:38:14.710
 Erratic driving or if your person they determined to be in a high emotional state every time you're behind the wheel or you have more

1277
01:38:15.890 --> 01:38:22.730
 Elevated emotional states than the next person you'll get charged more or you may be deemed to be

1278
01:38:22.730 --> 01:38:25.430
 uninsurable and

1279
01:38:25.430 --> 01:38:30.170
 Then the law enforcement implications. I mean, is that part of the fucking fun? Like come on

1280
01:38:30.870 --> 01:38:31.990
 speeding really

1281
01:38:32.610 --> 01:38:37.470
 We already know that if you didn't see it it didn't have a right or just like there's nobody on the road

1282
01:38:37.470 --> 01:38:42.570
 You're driving, you know few over the speed limit. Whatever. I mean, this is America, man

1283
01:38:42.570 --> 01:38:47.810
 This is like we created the sense of freedom on the road the muscle cars, right?

1284
01:38:48.070 --> 01:38:51.450
 Home and land of the muscle car route 66 all of that shit

1285
01:38:52.510 --> 01:38:59.770
 Like at what point did it become acceptable for the government to implement a surveillance state?

1286
01:38:59.770 --> 01:39:02.270
 Within the privacy of our own fucking vehicle

1287
01:39:03.170 --> 01:39:05.190
 Like that's what this is

1288
01:39:07.030 --> 01:39:08.390
 Your vehicle

1289
01:39:08.390 --> 01:39:16.510
 The cars that America is so proud to own because it represents freedom of travel go anywhere do what we want

1290
01:39:17.130 --> 01:39:22.210
 Right. You're driving to and from the job. You're on vacation. Whatever it is. You're going to the beach

1291
01:39:22.210 --> 01:39:26.390
 You will do so under a state of surveillance

1292
01:39:26.390 --> 01:39:29.210
 implemented by a fucking state

1293
01:39:29.770 --> 01:39:36.390
 Your data will be collected and sold to insurance agencies and law enforcement and government entities. I'm sure

1294
01:39:37.330 --> 01:39:39.050
 to further assess

1295
01:39:39.050 --> 01:39:40.750
 your viability

1296
01:39:41.770 --> 01:39:47.650
 Your ability to exist probably I mean it feels like communist China

1297
01:39:48.870 --> 01:39:51.170
 Is going to start to be

1298
01:39:51.590 --> 01:39:57.710
 Like like the way they do things is gonna start to be implemented here in the US and they're gonna start with our cars

1299
01:39:57.710 --> 01:40:03.530
 You start with their cars, but that's not all because aside from that

1300
01:40:04.690 --> 01:40:10.770
 I'm gonna go too deep on this, but there's patents out there. I believe I believe Google owns the patents

1301
01:40:10.770 --> 01:40:12.250
 You can fact check me on that

1302
01:40:12.250 --> 01:40:14.830
 But anyway, Wells Fargo has in their patent

1303
01:40:14.830 --> 01:40:17.250
 their patent for portfolio

1304
01:40:17.250 --> 01:40:24.310
 What they want to do is use what has been patented and I believe developed to be a biometric dust

1305
01:40:24.310 --> 01:40:27.710
 That contains all these natal nanoparticles, right?

1306
01:40:28.230 --> 01:40:35.470
 So the what they're saying is they're going to use this to to identify you this this dust is biometric dust can identify

1307
01:40:35.470 --> 01:40:43.410
 You through your facial recognition like how it analyzes your physical appearance based on how the dust interacts with you your heart rate

1308
01:40:45.890 --> 01:40:49.330
 Everything you won't even know it's there you just walk into this

1309
01:40:50.130 --> 01:40:54.190
 This mist and you probably won't even see it. It'll absorb into your skin

1310
01:40:54.310 --> 01:41:00.470
 Wells Fargo thinks that they can use this or they want to use it to be able to identify you

1311
01:41:01.250 --> 01:41:07.250
 So that they can deem you're the person that's supposed to be using their services like an ATM for example

1312
01:41:07.250 --> 01:41:10.110
 What if you're just making a payment? I don't know

1313
01:41:10.690 --> 01:41:14.550
 anyway, I think this is this is a

1314
01:41:14.550 --> 01:41:21.130
 Bridge too far especially for a financial institution who is doing nothing but holding your own hard-earned fucking money

1315
01:41:21.130 --> 01:41:23.890
 I mean all the bank is supposed to be is a place that

1316
01:41:24.670 --> 01:41:31.250
 Safely stores your money, but the bank the bank thinks that you're just an asset and that

1317
01:41:31.250 --> 01:41:33.810
 They need all of your data

1318
01:41:33.810 --> 01:41:42.030
 Everything about you. They want to inject into you through aerosols penetrate your skin with some kind of biometric

1319
01:41:45.030 --> 01:41:51.670
 Device that that that that they're going to use on you and once it's in you does it come out or is it?

1320
01:41:51.670 --> 01:41:58.210
 Permanently, are you now being tracked? Are you being recorded every single move you make everything you do?

1321
01:41:58.550 --> 01:42:03.670
 Everything that you say where you go like your patterns

1322
01:42:04.310 --> 01:42:10.530
 think about it all through this biometric dust that's going to be implemented and

1323
01:42:10.530 --> 01:42:15.410
 Wells Fargo wants to leave the charge and doing this a fucking financial institution

1324
01:42:15.410 --> 01:42:21.370
 The surveillance state that we've all been warning about seems to be here. It is coming

1325
01:42:21.670 --> 01:42:29.150
 And it's starting with our fucking cars guys our cars our vehicles any new vehicle and look by use

1326
01:42:29.150 --> 01:42:33.550
 Do whatever you can find someone who's savvy rip that shit out if you can. I

1327
01:42:33.550 --> 01:42:36.290
 Think maybe just go back to kit cars

1328
01:42:36.290 --> 01:42:42.050
 I'm sure the government will eventually deem all these other vehicles illegal and they're gonna force us to buy new ones or implement

1329
01:42:42.050 --> 01:42:43.710
 These technologies somehow

1330
01:42:43.710 --> 01:42:46.090
 but until then

1331
01:42:46.090 --> 01:42:48.110
 Do what you can to fight the system

1332
01:42:49.050 --> 01:42:53.190
 This is the land of the free man, this is America we're not gonna stand for that bullshit

1333
01:42:54.870 --> 01:42:55.830
 so look

1334
01:42:56.650 --> 01:43:03.890
 I'm gonna end it there. I'm gonna end it there guys. This was a long episode. I know I know we talked about Iran

1335
01:43:03.890 --> 01:43:06.030
 We fact-checked

1336
01:43:06.030 --> 01:43:08.350
 Davey Boy Smith and Tim Cartman Dillon

1337
01:43:10.490 --> 01:43:14.910
 We discussed a few things all the way to the surveillance state technology

1338
01:43:14.910 --> 01:43:19.010
 That's going to be implemented and things that you do not have a choice to deny

1339
01:43:21.190 --> 01:43:24.790
 Crazy world we live in right crazy fucking world with them
