Goldie Ghamari - The TRUTH About the War on Iran

00:00:00.000 Let's talk for you

00:00:30.000 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 Thank you.

00:01:30.000 Thank you.

00:02:00.000 Thank you.

00:02:30.000 Thank you.

00:03:00.000 Thank you.

00:03:30.000 Thank you.

00:04:00.000 Thank you.

00:04:30.000 Thank you.

00:05:00.000 Thank you.

00:05:30.000 Thank you.

00:06:00.000 Thank you.

00:06:30.000 Thank you.

00:07:00.000 Well, hello, everyone. Welcome to tonight's evening edition of The Goldie Show with your

00:07:16.140 host, Goldie Gamari. That's me. That's me. That's why it's called The Goldie Show.

00:07:21.380 I couldn't come up with a more, I don't know, creative name or whatever. So I just kind of

00:07:28.120 made it the Goldie Show months ago, and there you go. That's what it is. So thank you everyone for

00:07:34.800 joining. Tonight we're doing a watch party of the Senate hearing, or what is it called? The

00:07:43.500 Congressional, sorry, I say Senate, but it's the Congressional hearing with Admiral Brad Cooper.

00:07:50.580 It's a three-hour long hearing.

00:07:53.900 And, you know, for me as a former politician and, you know, political nerd,

00:07:58.760 I actually used to chair numerous committees myself when I was a politician.

00:08:03.840 So this stuff is like my bread and butter.

00:08:06.700 And I was going to watch it on my own, but I figured I might as well live stream it

00:08:12.360 and we can watch it together and I can provide my commentary

00:08:15.740 because I've seen a few clips here and there.

00:08:20.100 And this is explosive. Like the stuff that Admiral Brad Cooper says, it's pretty much the exact same thing that, you know, I have been saying for the last 144 whatever days, if not longer, about Iran and Iranians and the Iranian revolution.

00:08:42.740 Right. So, um, get settled in, grab it. Oh my gosh. Oh guys, I forgot to grab a bubbly. Oh no,

00:08:52.100 I only have a water bottle. Oh my gosh. Okay. I will be right back because I need to go grab my

00:08:59.100 bubbly because you know, bubbly is the unofficial sponsor. Cause I literally drink sparkling water

00:09:04.620 all the time. Um, so wow. Okay. I'm kind of embarrassed now because I literally forgot to

00:09:12.060 bring my bubbly I don't know oh my gosh guys you know what though I'll tell you why I forgot to

00:09:17.400 bring my bubbly um yeah so so so yeah so Craig is saying Craig is asking this hearing already took

00:09:26.500 place but Goldie's watching it for the first time exactly so this hearing took place yesterday

00:09:33.000 I have not watched it yet I've seen a few clips here and there and those clips and sound bites

00:09:40.160 are explosive. So, you know, being the political nerd that I am, like I've literally sat in

00:09:45.700 hearings for 12 hours at a time, like back to back nonstop. So, I mean, this is like,

00:09:52.640 this is the kind of stuff that I watch on my own. And I figured I might as well live stream it. And

00:09:57.900 you know, you guys can take advantage of my political knowledge, or you can laugh at me

00:10:02.880 being a political nerd. But I do want to say, one of the reasons that I forgot my bubbly is

00:10:10.720 because I'm still so livid. I'm absolutely livid about FIFA's decision to ban the lion and sun

00:10:22.180 flag. And I know I haven't been wearing my lion and sun flag in every single episode of Iran

00:10:27.140 revolution live lately but um like with what fifa has done like they have enraged not just the

00:10:36.720 iranian diaspora but iranians in occupied iran like 90 million iranians are furious right now

00:10:45.300 so um i don't know if you've actually seen the video that i posted um i think it was like about

00:10:53.080 an hour ago. Did you guys, if you want, like, you know, while I go grab my bubbly or, you know,

00:10:58.980 whatever, do you want me to play the video that I posted? Do you want to watch that? Because maybe

00:11:05.800 that'll explain why I'm just a little bit like, like, I'm just, I'm furious. I'm furious because

00:11:13.760 we Iranians, we have been fighting to overthrow the Islamic Republic for 47 years. And it

00:11:22.920 seems like every single institution is literally against us, right? Like the United Nations is

00:11:29.440 garbage. You know, and now, you know, all these other institutions and now FIFA. FIFA has now 0.99

00:11:34.860 joined the club of the anti-Iranian pro-Islamic regime propaganda. So, I mean, if you want,

00:11:43.140 I could share that with you guys. All right. Okay. All right. I'll play the video. It's,

00:11:48.720 Wait, how long is the video? Okay. The video is about 20 minutes long. So, um, sure. Okay. I'll

00:11:57.240 play the video, but this is not like my usual calm video. I do get a, it's more like a Goldie 1.00

00:12:04.540 rant. Although it's, it's like, it's like a mix. It's a mix, but, um, all right. Okay. All right.

00:12:11.060 Well, why not? Why not? I mean, I had Admiral Brad Cooper ready to go, but we will get into that right after. So, yeah. All right. Why not? So here's the video on my YouTube channel. Let me play this for you guys, and I will be right back while I get my bubbly. Here we go.

00:12:32.740 I want to talk about something that should outrage every single person who believes in freedom of

00:12:40.600 speech, cultural identity, and basic human dignity. Because according to multiple reports,

00:12:47.460 including the New York Post and coverage from Iran International, FIFA is banning the historic

00:12:54.480 lion and sun flag of Iran from stadiums during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Think about how insane

00:13:03.860 that is for a second. The lion and sun flag is not some extremist symbol. It's not a terrorist flag.

00:13:11.560 It's not a hate symbol. The lion and sun flag, the one that you see up above my head and the

00:13:19.060 one that I'm proudly wearing over my shoulders. This is the historic flag of Iran. It's a flag

00:13:27.600 that existed long before the Islamic regime invaded Iran. And it's a flag that will exist 0.95

00:13:34.460 long after the Islamic regime occupying Iran is eradicated and sent to the ash heap of history.

00:13:42.060 The Lion and Sun flag is a flag that's connected to thousands of years of Iranian civilization and identity.

00:13:50.720 And FIFA, an organization that constantly lectures the world about diversity and inclusion and representation,

00:13:58.600 well, FIFA is apparently prepared to tell millions of Iranians in the diaspora

00:14:03.460 that our identity is not welcome inside World Cup stadiums. 0.79

00:14:09.860 meanwhile the flag of the islamic regime occupying iran a regime that's responsible

00:14:15.940 for terrorism for executions for the oppression of women the suppression of minorities hostage

00:14:22.020 taking and the killing of innocent unarmed iranian protesters is apparently acceptable shame on fifa

00:14:32.100 and this is the contradiction that i want to discuss today because this is bigger than just

00:14:37.860 soccer. This is bigger than sports. This is about who gets to define the Iranian identity

00:14:45.940 on the world stage. And honestly, this decision perfectly exposes the hypocrisy 1.00

00:14:53.220 of modern international institutions i am goldie gamari and you're watching the goldie show

00:15:09.940 let's start with the basics for people who are not iranian or who are unfamiliar with iranian

00:15:16.420 history the lion and sun symbol is one of the oldest and most recognized symbols associated

00:15:23.620 with iran the lion and sun emblem has existed for centuries the lion and sun symbol has existed

00:15:32.900 long before the islamic regime occupied iran in 1979 it has existed long before the ayatollahs

00:15:42.420 long before the islamic revolutionary guard corps and in fact long before the invention of islam

00:15:50.020 for millions of iranians around the world the lion and sun flag represents iranian

00:15:55.860 civilization and identity historical continuity secular nationalism and opposition to the islamic

00:16:04.420 regime that's occupying Iran. And that matters, especially after all of the movements that we

00:16:12.920 have had over the years, and especially after the massacre of over 40,000 innocent unarmed

00:16:21.740 Iranians on January 8 and 9, when during the Lion and Son Revolution, Iranians went out into the

00:16:29.460 streets, waving this flag and chanting Javid Shah. Over the last several years, the Lion and

00:16:37.660 Sun flag has increasingly become a symbol used by anti-regime and pro-freedom Iranians around

00:16:45.600 the world, including in occupied Iran. And you've seen it in protests in Toronto, in Los Angeles,

00:16:53.740 London, Berlin, Paris, even in protests in occupied Iran. Millions of Iranians who fled

00:17:03.640 the Islamic regime carry this flag because we do not recognize the regime as representing Iran. 0.51

00:17:10.820 In fact, the Islamic regime is anti-Iranian, and that distinction is critical because the 0.65

00:17:19.940 islamic republic is not iran the regime is not the nation the government is not the civilization 0.80

00:17:29.620 but fifa seems incapable of understanding that distinction or worse maybe they understand it

00:17:36.260 perfectly and simply don't care now let's talk about what reportedly happened according to

00:17:43.780 reporting from the new york post and other outlets fifa is expected to prohibit fans from bringing

00:17:49.860 the Lion and Sun flag or related apparel into World Cup stadiums. And according

00:17:56.460 to reports from Iran International, officials connected to the Islamic

00:18:01.140 Republic of Iran's Football Federation have demanded that only the terrorist

00:18:07.440 flag of the Islamic regime be permitted at matches involving Iran. Think about

00:18:14.040 the implications of that. A regime that brutally crushed protesters in 2022. A regime that

00:18:22.700 slaughtered over 40,000 innocent unarmed Iranians in January 2026. A regime accused of executing

00:18:31.300 dissidents. A regime that has jailed journalists, tortured activists, and killed women for refusing

00:18:38.120 mandatory hijab laws. That regime, that same terrorist Islamic regime, is now apparently 0.93

00:18:47.040 influencing what Iranian fans are allowed to display at the World Cup, which, by the way, 0.94

00:18:54.600 is being held in the United States. And that should terrify everyone. Because what this means

00:19:02.960 in practice is simple the islamic regime occupying iran is attempting to erase iranian dissidents 0.85

00:19:11.920 from the global stage and fifa appears willing to help them do it this is where the hypocrisy

00:19:19.200 becomes impossible to ignore because fifa constantly claims that football is for everyone

00:19:26.560 they talk endlessly about inclusion and representation and human rights and diversity

00:19:32.960 Really? Because I remember FIFA

00:19:36.560 allowing all kinds of political symbolism in recent years.

00:19:41.360 I remember entire campaigns around social causes.

00:19:45.200 I remember symbolic gestures, arm bands, statements, kneeling, political messaging. 0.78

00:19:53.040 But suddenly, when Iranian dissidents want to wave our historic national flag,

00:19:58.760 FIFA all of a sudden discovers the importance of neutrality

00:20:02.960 are you kidding me? Give me a break. This is selective neutrality. And selective neutrality

00:20:11.280 is not neutrality at all. It is political bias disguised as policy. And let's also remember

00:20:19.160 something else. FIFA already faced massive backlash during the 2022 FIFA World Cup over

00:20:26.800 issues involving freedom of expression. We remember the controversy surrounding the

00:20:33.480 One Love armbands and FIFA threatening sanctions against players. At the time, FIFA claimed it

00:20:40.960 wanted to avoid political controversy. But now we're seeing the same pattern again. Only this

00:20:48.420 time, the victims are the Iranian people fighting for freedom and democracy against a brutal and 0.98

00:20:56.140 terrorist islamic dictatorship and here's what makes this especially outrageous the lion and

00:21:03.260 sun flag is not a fringe symbol among the iranian people it is mainstream you see it at rallies 0.54

00:21:11.980 at concerts at political events at community gatherings you see it at human rights protests

00:21:18.060 you see it at sports events you also see it inside of occupied iran the lion and sun flag

00:21:27.180 is carried by all iranians regardless of political affiliation it's carried by monarchists by

00:21:34.140 republicans by secular democrats liberals conservatives leftists centrists all kinds

00:21:40.380 of anti-regime Iranians. Why? Because for many Iranians, it represents Iran before the Islamic 0.53

00:21:49.700 regime hijacked our country in 1979. And I want people to really think about the symbolism here.

00:21:58.120 Imagine telling Cubans they cannot wave the Cuban flag used before Castro. Imagine telling

00:22:04.240 Russians opposed to Putin, they cannot display anti-Soviet Russian symbols. Imagine telling

00:22:10.820 Venezuelan dissidents they cannot display opposition imagery. That would be immediately

00:22:17.300 recognized as political suppression. So why is it acceptable when it happens to Iranians? 1.00

00:22:24.780 Why are the Iranian people always expected to silence ourselves for the comfort of authoritarian 0.98

00:22:31.140 and regimes. And let's be honest about something else. This is not really about fan safety. 1.00

00:22:37.940 It's not about avoiding conflict. And it's not about neutrality. This is about pressure,

00:22:45.220 political pressure, because the Islamic Republic understands something very important.

00:22:53.540 The Lion and Sun flag is powerful. It represents a competing vision of Iran.

00:23:01.140 a secular Iran, a historical Iran, a non-Islamist Iran, a free Iran, and that scares the Islamic

00:23:12.380 regime. Why do you think the terrorist Islamic regime occupying Iran hates the lion and sun 0.52

00:23:19.800 flag so much? It's because symbols matter, flags matter, identity matters, and the regime knows 0.84

00:23:28.280 that when millions of people around the world see Iranian fans waving the Lion and Sun flag,

00:23:35.260 it weakens the Islamic regime's monopoly over representing Iran internationally. 0.90

00:23:42.060 That is why they obsessed over it. 0.65

00:23:44.660 And by the way, this controversy is happening during an already explosive geopolitical moment.

00:23:52.880 participation in the 2026 world cup has already become controversial because of tensions involving

00:23:59.200 the united states israel and the islamic republic occupying iran there have already been protests

00:24:06.480 calling on fifa to ban the islamic regime entirely from the tournament because critics argue and i 0.52

00:24:13.280 agree with them by the way that the national soccer team of iran represents the islamic 0.74

00:24:19.760 Revolutionary Guard Corps. It does not represent the Iranian people. Islamic regime officials

00:24:26.620 reportedly demanded restrictions on opposition symbols and even pride flags during matches.

00:24:33.380 So this is not happening in isolation. This is part of a larger effort by the Islamic regime

00:24:40.780 occupying Iran to control the narrative surrounding Iran at the World Cup. Now I want to address 0.68

00:24:48.740 another important issue because some people will say well fifa bans political symbols okay

00:24:55.780 then explain this how is the lion and sun flag political but the flag of the terrorist

00:25:03.380 islamic republic occupying iran is not political seriously the islamic republic flag itself is

00:25:12.180 ideological. It literally emerged from the 1979 Islamic coup d'etat of Iran. The current emblem

00:25:20.320 on the Islamic regime garbage terrorist flag was created specifically to symbolize the Islamic 0.97

00:25:27.980 Republic. The wording and the lettering is all in Arabic. It says Allahu Akbar, which is Arabic, 0.92

00:25:35.620 and the emblem in the middle says Allah, which is again Arabic. By the way, we Iranians, we don't

00:25:42.040 speak arabic we speak persian so the islamic republic flag is not actually the flag of iran

00:25:49.400 it's the flag of the foreign occupying invaders similar to how the flag of nazi germany is not

00:25:56.840 the flag of germany the flag of nazi germany was the flag of the occupiers so fifa was truly neutral

00:26:06.120 You could argue both flags are political, but instead, FIFA is effectively choosing one side, the side of the ruling Islamic regime, the side of the totalitarian dictatorship, the side of the terrorists.

00:26:23.820 That's the side that FIFA is choosing, and that is not neutrality. 0.59

00:26:28.160 That is endorsement of a totalitarian Islamic dictatorship through selective enforcement. 0.69

00:26:35.060 And one of the things that frustrates us Iranians the most is the complete erasure of our history and the attempt by the Islamic regime occupying Iran to erase and eradicate our Iranian identity, culture, and heritage.

00:26:53.560 Because Iran did not begin in 1979.

00:26:57.880 The Iranian civilization is thousands of years old.

00:27:02.020 We existed for thousands of years before Islam was invented, and the lion and sun symbol predates the Islamic Republic occupying Iran by thousands of years.

00:27:15.440 It is tied to Iranian history, Iranian monarchy, Iranian art, Iranian culture, and most importantly, the Iranian identity.

00:27:24.920 Yet somehow, FIFA wants the world to pretend that the only legitimate symbol of occupied Iran is a symbol created by a revolutionary Islamist dictatorship less than 50 years ago.

00:27:40.200 That is historical erasure.

00:27:43.680 And there's another layer here people should pay attention to.

00:27:48.000 This World Cup is taking place in North America.

00:27:52.380 The United States and Canada both have enormous Iranian diaspora populations, especially in cities like Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Toronto.

00:28:05.220 Many of these people fled persecution.

00:28:08.740 Many of us have lost family members.

00:28:11.300 Many of us have escaped political repression.

00:28:13.940 and now FIFA has the audacity to tell us that the symbol representing the country of Iran that we

00:28:22.880 love so much is not allowed inside their stadiums? That is deeply insulting. And here's what I think

00:28:31.480 FIFA fundamentally misunderstands. The Lion and Sun flag is not merely nostalgia. For many of us,

00:28:40.740 in fact for the vast majority of us the lion and sun flag represents hope hope for a future 0.97

00:28:47.860 iran that is secular democratic and free from authoritarian islamic rule that is why younger

00:28:56.980 generations of iranians have increasingly embraced it during protests both inside and outside

00:29:03.460 of occupied iran it has become a symbol of resistance against the islamic regime

00:29:09.700 and maybe that is exactly why the regime wants it banned because authoritarian systems fear

00:29:16.420 alternative symbols of legitimacy i also think fifa is underestimating the backlash that this

00:29:23.460 decision will create because once people begin asking questions the optics become terrible

00:29:31.140 imagine the headlines historic iranian flag banned while islamic regime flag allowed

00:29:38.820 That sounds awful because it is awful, and it creates a perception, whether FIFA likes it or not, that international institutions are bending to authoritarian Islamic dictatorships.

00:29:51.700 There's also a larger issue here about the role of sports organizations in global politics. FIFA always claims it is apolitical, but FIFA is actually one of the most political organizations in the world.

00:30:07.760 every hosting decision is political every sponsorship decision is political every

00:30:14.080 enforcement decision is political and when fifa selectively bans symbols associated with dissidents

00:30:21.280 while accommodating authoritarian dictatorships we notice what's especially interesting is that

00:30:28.960 even some legal and sports commentators have questioned whether fifa even has the authority

00:30:34.320 to enforce this kind of ban on fans in the way reports suggest that debate itself tells you how

00:30:42.080 controversial this situation is because many observers recognize that the lion and sun flag

00:30:48.800 does not fall into categories typically associated with hate symbols or extremist propaganda

00:30:55.600 the lion and sun flag is a historic national symbol i think this controversial decision by fifa

00:31:02.960 will probably backfire. Because the more FIFA tries to suppress the Lion and Sun flag,

00:31:09.040 the more FIFA tries to suppress the Iranian people, the more attention we will receive.

00:31:15.680 And that's already happening online. Because people across X, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube,

00:31:22.560 and diaspora communities are talking about this non-stop. And when institutions attempt to suppress

00:31:29.760 identity symbols those symbols often become even more powerful and at the end of the day

00:31:37.200 this controversy raises one fundamental question who represents iran is iran represented exclusively

00:31:46.400 by the islamic regime that's occupying iran or do millions of iranians in occupied iran

00:31:53.840 and around the world also have a right to express our identity history and vision for our country

00:32:02.000 because if fifa says only the islamic regime symbols are acceptable then fifa is taking a

00:32:08.080 side and fifa is taking the wrong side whether they admit it or not and this is why so many of

00:32:17.280 us Iranians feel abandoned by international institutions in general. We watch the world

00:32:23.440 celebrate freedom and diversity while our own voices are silenced whenever it becomes politically

00:32:30.160 inconvenient. We're told our history is too controversial, our flag is too political,

00:32:36.960 our fight against the Islamic regime is Islamophobic, our identity is too uncomfortable. 0.93

00:32:43.360 meanwhile the terrorist islamic regime gets treated as the sole legitimate representative 0.81

00:32:49.360 of iran and that is the injustice at the center of this story i'll end with this football belongs

00:32:59.200 to the fans not governments not dictatorships and not political organizations and if the world cup

00:33:07.040 truly represents the world then iranian fans should have the right to peacefully display

00:33:13.120 our historic symbols of our nation and culture because iran is bigger than the islamic republic

00:33:22.240 iran existed for thousands of years before the ayatollahs and you know something iran

00:33:28.800 will exist long after they're gone from our sacred country and now you know

00:33:34.720 all right guys there you go so um that was my rant from earlier today where i was um

00:33:47.820 you know i was upset and that's why i forgot my bubbly but uh i hope you guys enjoyed that video

00:33:56.120 And the bubbly flavor tonight is blueberry pomegranate because pomegranate is actually one of the original fruits that comes from Iran.

00:34:10.740 So pomegranate is an Iranian fruit.

00:34:14.820 There you go.

00:34:15.900 So, yeah, I'm feeling a little bit nationalistic. 1.00

00:34:19.500 I think all Iranians are, because it's just, you know, guys, it's not enough that we have to fight a brutal totalitarian Islamic dictatorship that's literally murdering us every day. 1.00

00:34:30.680 We also have to fight international institutions that are trying to silence our voices, right, and are, you know, standing on the side of terrorism. 0.96

00:34:40.760 So anyways, having said that, um, I have my pomegranate. I think a few of you, uh, I saw a few comments in the live stream chat. Um, they were like, don't share the whole video, you know, let people go watch it individually because you make, you know, more money that way.

00:34:57.900 guys, I don't do this for the money. I mean, obviously, I'm grateful that my channel is big

00:35:08.000 enough that there's some sort of revenue that comes in, but I don't care. I don't care about

00:35:15.600 the revenue. I've shared numerous videos of myself. I'm more interested in getting the message out

00:35:24.400 there. But I mean, if you guys want to support me, of course, you know, go watch the video,

00:35:28.300 like it, share it, share it with your networks, share it with other people. Because I mean,

00:35:34.560 it is important for people to know what's going on with FIFA. But having said that, let's go to

00:35:39.840 Admiral Brad Cooper now, because I have been meaning to watch this video. And it is a three

00:35:47.720 hour long video, which means with my commentary, I don't know, it might go on, it might go on a

00:35:53.940 little bit longer who knows but uh let's get going because like this is a this is literally

00:35:59.760 the political nerd in me although um at nine o'clock we will do a quick break and go to

00:36:09.720 sean hannity and see if sean hannity has any iran updates but having said that let's go because this

00:36:17.140 is literally my bread and butter right now so guys for those who are watching um and i will update

00:36:22.920 the banner down below, but this was Admiral Brad Cooper testifying before the House Committee

00:36:30.780 on the Iran conflict yesterday, May 19th. Let me put on the closed captions as well.

00:36:40.580 I might make it easier.

00:36:41.360 Listen is clear. Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. President Trump is committed to ensuring

00:36:50.700 that that never happens. Last summer, Operation Midnight Hammer delivered a destructive blow to

00:36:56.040 Iran's nuclear program. Operation Epic Fury shattered the regime's ability to shield that 0.62

00:37:02.940 program with its conventional forces. Despite the criticism, there should be no confusion about

00:37:10.380 what this operation set out to achieve. Destroy Iran's ballistic missiles and drone capabilities, 0.93

00:37:17.780 cripple Iran's navy and third dismantle Iran's defense industrial base to prevent it from

00:37:25.700 projecting power outside its borders and the results were decisive to quote Admiral Cooper 0.80

00:37:32.100 his written statement in 38 days we rolled back 40 years of Iranian military investment close

00:37:38.840 quote more than 85 percent of Iran's ballistic missile drone and naval defense industrial base

00:37:46.740 has been damaged or destroyed. The regime's ability to stockpile ballistic missiles and

00:37:52.280 long-range drones has been set back by years. Iran's air force is no more. Over 90 percent of

00:37:59.920 Iran's traditional navy has been sunk, and Iran is now far less capable of sustaining terrorist

00:38:06.840 proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis and Hamas. This operation also demonstrated the unmatched

00:38:15.100 professionalism, lethality, and courage of the American warfighter. Every American should take

00:38:21.760 pride in what our forces accomplished under extraordinarily demanding conditions, and we

00:38:28.160 must honor the 13 brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to our country.

00:38:34.640 Operation Epic Fury also demonstrated the enduring strength of America's

00:38:39.260 allies, alliances, and partnerships. That begins with Israel, a model ally, fought alongside the

00:38:47.340 United States throughout this campaign. Our Gulf partners in Jordan provided critical access,

00:38:54.180 basing, and overflight support. So too did our NATO allies. Almost without exception,

00:39:01.480 our NATO allies opened their bases and their airspace to support this mission. That access

00:39:07.740 was critical to sustaining an operation of this scale but this conflict also reminded us who our

00:39:14.780 friends are not china and russia reportedly assisted iran during this wow okay so you know

00:39:21.300 this is really interesting because i actually did an interview today with um one american news

00:39:28.060 network i think that's going live at 10 p.m so maybe we'll maybe i'll see if we can tune into

00:39:34.000 that and watch that live but like i love chanel ryan she's my favorite um but we were talking

00:39:40.160 about china and russia and i basically said listen president trump's trip to china this was basically

00:39:47.520 trump saying to to china that you could no longer use the islamic regime as you know one of the

00:39:55.600 pawns on the game of global chess and it's really interesting that admiral brad cooper is calling

00:40:03.760 out China and Russia. And while this Congressional House Committee hearing was happening, Scott

00:40:14.880 Besant, if you recall, yesterday at the same time, the US Treasury Department, they put out a press

00:40:25.980 release where they basically said that they're sanctioning a whole bunch of companies in Hong

00:40:32.320 kong and the uae and china for um laundering money for the islamic regime right so um it's

00:40:43.760 very interesting guys like so so this is why it's so critical to look at the you know you have to

00:40:49.840 look at the holistic picture here like you can't look at individuals um in just like a narrow

00:40:56.840 narrow box. You have to look at the big picture. So the big picture here is that, you know,

00:41:03.520 on the same day that Scott Besant is sanctioning a whole bunch of UAE and Chinese companies for

00:41:13.820 helping launder money for the Islamic regime, at the same time, Admiral Brad Cooper is now

00:41:20.360 openly confirming what we've known all along, that Russia and China have been assisting the

00:41:30.000 Islamic regime against the United States, right? And it's interesting that this is coming right 0.70

00:41:38.140 after President Trump returns from Beijing, which again goes to show that President Trump's trip to

00:41:47.280 beijing it was not appeasement because a lot of people were like oh president trump is going to

00:41:52.140 kiss the ring blah blah blah absolutely not president trump went to beijing to put china

00:41:57.440 in their place right that's what it was president trump's trip to china was basically a show of

00:42:04.120 strength um and you know military power anyways let's continue it's conflict let me go back that

00:42:10.520 But this conflict also reminded us who our friends are not.

00:42:16.160 China and Russia reportedly assisted Iran during this conflict.

00:42:20.280 That should concern every American citizen.

00:42:23.500 Any effort by our adversaries to help Iran rebuild its military must carry consequences.

00:42:29.280 And while Operation Epic Fury has concluded, pressure on the Iranian regime continues.

00:42:36.000 I want to hear more from Admiral Cooper about how CENTCOM's current posture, including the blockade of the Iranian ports, is supporting diplomatic efforts by increasing pressure on what remains of the regime.

00:42:51.940 My understanding is that the damage to Iran's oil infrastructure and the loss of millions of dollars in daily revenue are imposing severe economic costs on Tehran.

00:42:59.720 that pressure matters because not only yeah it's literally like half a billion dollars a day it's

00:43:06.420 500 million dollars a day and that that means something must iran never obtain a nuclear weapon

00:43:13.000 it must also not be allowed to dominate the strait of hormuz china is watching closely to see whether

00:43:20.100 the united states will defend freedom of navigation protect global commerce and respond decisively

00:43:26.580 to aggression. We must not falter in our resolve. At the same time, we must not...

00:43:33.900 Yeah, you know, I actually 100% agree with that. China is 100% watching because they're seeing how

00:43:40.560 the United States is going to act and respond to the Islamic regime. And the way that the United

00:43:46.600 States responds will determine how China will move forward, right? Because China is pretty much 0.52

00:43:52.120 using the Islamic regime as sort of a litmus test to see whether or not the United States 1.00

00:43:59.180 is willing to, you know, fold for, you know, some garbage third world Durka Durka Islamic 0.99

00:44:06.660 dictatorship. 0.96

00:44:07.960 Because if it, guys, here's the thing, and I think President Trump and, you know, his

00:44:12.300 administration knows this very well.

00:44:14.380 If the United States folds to the Islamic regime occupying Iran, that will send a signal to Russia and China that they can pressure the United States into doing whatever they want. 0.58

00:44:32.100 And the United States will fold because of, you know, the pressure coming from anti-American institutions, you know, like the Democrats and the woke left and the jihadis and the communists and whatever. 0.64

00:44:45.640 Right. So that's really important here.

00:44:48.140 So the Islamic regime is the litmus test.

00:44:52.360 And Russia and China are definitely watching very, very closely.

00:44:58.900 The area of the Middle East and Africa remain hotbeds of terrorism. It is imperative that we continue hunting ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab, and other terrorist groups before they can threaten our homeland. I want to hear from both commanders about how they are working with regional partners to keep terrorists on the run.

00:45:19.140 the successful operation over the weekend targeting the second in command of oh wait sorry

00:45:25.520 we have a question here from someone um so eric is asking goldie where will you marry me no but

00:45:33.240 i will ban you so you're banned all right let's continue basis in nigeria demonstrated once again

00:45:42.740 that terrorists have no refuge from the United States military or our partners. General Anderson,

00:45:50.080 to sustain that pressure, I want your assessment of whether AFRICOM has the necessary resources.

00:45:56.960 I look forward to hearing from all of our witnesses today, with I yield to the ranking

00:46:00.240 member, my friend Adam Smith, for any opening statement he may have. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

00:46:04.860 Thank our witnesses for coming before us today. The CENTCOM and AFRICOM AORs are incredibly

00:46:09.720 important. And if there's one word to sum it up right now, it's instability. And that

00:46:13.860 instability is incredibly dangerous. Certainly, we will talk, I know, a great deal about

00:46:18.880 the war against Iran and the instability in the Middle East. But Africa is also a very unstable

00:46:24.780 place right now. We are engaged in bombing campaign from time to time. Yeah. The reason

00:46:31.480 And the reason that Africa is experiencing instability is because the Islamic regime is exporting its jihad around the world, right? 0.99

00:46:42.920 Like the instability you're seeing in all of these places is because the radical jihadi Muslims are expanding their revolution. 0.98

00:46:52.900 and they're the ones that are creating the instability and they're being funded by the

00:46:59.480 Islamic regime and by Qatar and by other Middle Eastern countries as well. So yeah, obviously

00:47:07.560 there's instability because everyone has tried to just ignore the Islamic regime. Meanwhile, 0.62

00:47:12.800 the Islamic regime has been quietly importing the revolution. So wow. Oh no, there's instability. 0.97

00:47:19.400 Oh, no, the Muslims are killing Christians in Nigeria. 1.00

00:47:22.780 Gee, I wonder why. 1.00

00:47:24.280 Why is the Nigerian Christian genocide happening? 0.99

00:47:27.680 It's because it's being funded by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic regime because they're importing their jihad. 0.97

00:47:34.820 And these are the same Africans that we're seeing right now in occupied Iran that are walking around and saying, you know, Allahu Akbar, Durkha, whatever. 0.97

00:47:45.480 And we've shared the videos of that.

00:47:48.260 Here, let me show you guys.

00:47:50.280 Let me show you.

00:47:53.960 I'll bring it up.

00:47:55.980 Like, we shared it earlier today, but, oh, wait, I think it was this account.

00:48:02.460 It was this account here where they shared the video of, like, the, literally, like, Muslim Africans right here.

00:48:11.720 Look at this, guys.

00:48:13.000 Yeah.

00:48:13.540 You want to know why there's instability in the Middle East?

00:48:16.840 Why there's instability in Africa? Sure, there's instability in Africa because the Islamic regime, which is a foreign occupying invader, right? They're not even Iranian. The Islamic regime, which is just all it cares about is exporting its jihad, right? They're not only invading Iran, they've invaded various African countries. 1.00

00:48:42.160 And now they've literally brought Africans, they've brought like Muslim jihadi Africans to Iran, right? So they're spending Iranian money that should go to the Iranian people. They're spending Iranian money on their Muslim jihadi prostitutes, bringing them to Iran, and they're making them like go on TV and say, oh, we support Khamenei, right? 0.95

00:49:11.980 And these are the same jihadi Islamist Durka terrorists that are also murdering Christians in Africa. 0.99

00:49:19.460 Watch this. 0.97

00:49:20.180 Watch. 0.87

00:49:20.420 It's disgusting. 1.00

00:49:21.340 I love Khamele'i. 1.00

00:49:23.040 I love Khamele'i. 0.84

00:49:25.080 I love Khamele'i. 0.84

00:49:26.720 I love Khamele'i. 0.84

00:49:29.440 I love Khamele'i. 0.84

00:49:31.840 I love Khamele'i. 0.84

00:49:34.300 I love Khamele'i. 0.84

00:49:36.340 I love Khamele'i. 0.84

00:49:38.600 I love Khamele'i.

00:49:39.600 You see that? You see that? Not a single Iranian, just a whole bunch of like random African Durka Muslim jihadis who've been indoctrinated by the Islamic regime. 0.98

00:49:51.280 So going back to this dude, going back to like this freaking genius. Yeah. The instability in Africa is caused by the existence of the Islamic regime. 0.99

00:50:02.440 So you want to get rid of instability in the Middle East and in Africa and a whole bunch of other places? 1.00

00:50:08.000 Get rid of the Islamic regime. 0.99

00:50:10.000 But this guy doesn't see it. 0.98

00:50:11.420 Or I don't know, maybe he does see it, but he's been paid off.

00:50:15.080 I don't know.

00:50:15.600 I don't know who this guy is.

00:50:16.920 But I'm just saying, you talk about instability in Africa, everyone knows the instability in Africa is caused by jihad.

00:50:25.460 A very unstable place right now.

00:50:27.640 We are really dangerous.

00:50:28.540 Certainly, we will talk, I know, a great deal about the war against Iran and the instability in the Middle East.

00:50:34.280 But Africa is also a very unstable place right now.

00:50:37.960 We are engaged in bombing campaign from time to time in Nigeria.

00:50:41.700 ISIS and ISIS affiliates are rising, particularly in Mali, Niger, and Bacana Faso.

00:50:47.220 So that instability is definitely making us less safe.

00:50:50.800 Terrorist organizations have bases of support. 0.51

00:50:54.140 An almost caliphate-like situation is existing in Africa.

00:50:57.180 Obviously, we've seen the chaos in the Middle East, but the rise of Shia-backed militias in Iraq, the ongoing war between Israel and Lebanon, and obviously the ongoing conflict with Iran, the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz. 1.00

00:51:10.560 You idiot. The war is not between Israel and Lebanon. The war is between Hezbollah and Israel. 1.00

00:51:17.600 And by the way, it was Hezbollah. Hezbollah is created by the Islamic regime and Hezbollah is 100 percent funded by the Islamic regime. 0.75

00:51:26.860 So the war is not between Lebanon and Hezbollah because the Lebanese people have no issue with Israel.

00:51:33.900 The war is between Hezbollah, which is basically a proxy of the Islamic regime, right?

00:51:41.480 But he's saying Lebanon, right?

00:51:43.580 It's not between Lebanon and Israel.

00:51:46.420 And by the way, Israel didn't start the war.

00:51:48.640 It was Hezbollah that started the war on behalf of the Islamic regime occupying Iran.

00:51:54.740 Guys, it's all connected.

00:51:56.860 goes beyond the national security threat in terms of terrorism, the economy, the impact it's having

00:52:03.760 certainly on our economy, but the global economy as well. And then we can also have the rise of

00:52:09.120 disease. We have a strain of Ebola that apparently is stronger than usual growing up in the DRC,

00:52:15.120 where there is also instability. So the number one biggest thing is, how can we bring more

00:52:19.560 stability to the region, work with partners, allies, others in the region to get us to a

00:52:23.800 better place than we are in right now because it is as bad as it's been for a very, very long time.

00:52:29.940 On Iran, I disagree with the chairman, unsurprisingly. Yes, we have knocked back a lot

00:52:37.500 of Iran's capability. The truth of the matter is, in all the questions that I've asked, 0.99

00:52:41.480 we don't know for sure how much. We don't know exactly how many ballistic missiles they have,

00:52:45.600 what their capabilities are. We know it has been substantially weakened, but we don't have

00:52:50.320 specific answers to that we also have to worry yeah you don't have specific answers to that 0.51

00:52:55.840 because the islamic regime has underground like bunkers and also there have been no boots on the 0.97

00:53:02.100 ground so what are you being a hypocrite because on one hand you're like no boots on the ground 0.89

00:53:08.580 and then on the other hand you're like we don't have the specific answers yeah because there's 0.96

00:53:13.020 no boots on the ground so pick a side pick a side buddy and it's it's wild that he's like

00:53:22.620 portraying this as if this is like some sort of failure of CENTCOM about the fact that Russia

00:53:28.320 China and North Korea are more than willing to be helpful to Iran and oh really how have they been

00:53:33.960 helpful wow so basically what this dude is saying is that we should not we should not exterminate

00:53:41.500 um an enemy that poses an existential threat to the United States because who knows what Russia

00:53:48.620 China and North Korea would do so in other words he's basically saying that the United States

00:53:54.140 should just be beholden to Russia China and North Korea wow wow I'm not sure threats aside

00:54:02.700 we're in a position to change their mind about that so we have to be worried about that but we 0.65

00:54:07.820 do know for sure whatever capability iran has they have the capability to shut down the straight

00:54:13.340 foremost and frankly i don't care whether they've got 75 less ballistic missiles 80

00:54:18.780 less ballistic missiles they clearly the regime is in place it's not going anywhere it is more

00:54:25.100 hard line than it was when this war started and that's how how could the islamic regime be more

00:54:31.260 hard like where are you getting your facts from how could the islamic regime be more hard line

00:54:36.540 because the same people are still in charge like this is the narrative that frustrates me so

00:54:42.860 basically what he's saying is like the islamic regime is there it's not going anywhere right

00:54:48.220 so like this this dude this guy is so blinded by his trump derangement syndrome that he's literally 0.70

00:54:58.860 like saying that oh america has lost because the islamic regime didn't fall right away like 1.00

00:55:04.460 Like, the stupidity here is mind-boggling, right? 1.00

00:55:09.460 And they have done something that they had not previously done, 1.00

00:55:12.140 which is shut down the Strait of Hormuz,

00:55:13.760 which is causing massive economic disasters for us

00:55:17.240 and for the entire world.

00:55:19.040 So, you know, we can go through the body count here

00:55:21.660 and say, we destroyed this many ballistic missiles,

00:55:23.700 we destroyed this many launchers,

00:55:25.180 we set their capability back.

00:55:27.140 That's all fascinating.

00:55:29.060 Strategically, we are in a disaster right now.

00:55:31.600 And that's what needs to be fixed.

00:55:33.640 And we do not see a path out of that. Let's just focus on the nuclear weapon program because any

00:55:38.620 criticism of the war is sort of met with, well, gosh, if it wasn't for the war, Iran would have

00:55:43.720 already detonated nuclear weapons in the Middle East. That's completely ridiculous. I mean, 0.88

00:55:48.200 that's an argument. You idiot. That's exactly what the Islamic regime wants to do. The Islamic 1.00

00:55:53.580 regime has been bragging on Islamic regime state TV that they plan on building nuclear bombs and 0.96

00:56:01.180 they literally make propaganda videos showing them booming the United States and Israel 0.79

00:56:08.000 and half the world. They literally make propaganda videos bragging about how it's their Allah given

00:56:15.620 right to build a nuclear bomb and how they want to bomb the rest of the world so they can bring 0.99

00:56:21.980 the Mahdi and whatever weird pedophile Islamic cult they have, right? So I cannot believe that 0.99

00:56:30.240 this guy is like, what an idiot. Like this guy is like, he is not America first. Like this guy 1.00

00:56:37.040 is like an American traitor. He's an American traitor, right? Like this is, this is wild. This 0.99

00:56:42.900 is wild. But guys, here's the thing. The Democrats, I guarantee you, the Democrats will never, ever

00:56:51.080 admit or acknowledge that they have to get rid of the Islamic regime. Why? Because it was Jimmy 0.99

00:56:57.440 Carter and the Democrats that helped bring in the Islamic regime in the first place. So if the 0.83

00:57:05.080 Democrats today, right, if the Democrats today stand against the Islamic regime, then that means 0.99

00:57:13.140 they have to admit that, you know, Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer, the retarded peanut farmer, 0.95

00:57:19.760 was wrong in, you know, backing a brutal Islamic totalitarian dictatorship, right? So 0.99

00:57:27.120 shame on this guy,

00:57:28.800 and yeah, this is why the Democrats

00:57:33.720 refuse to acknowledge

00:57:34.980 that the Islamic regime needs to go. 0.99

00:57:38.200 Because if they acknowledge it needs to go, 1.00

00:57:41.120 then they're necessarily acknowledging

00:57:43.140 that the fact that they brought them in

00:57:45.620 in the first place was a mistake.

00:57:47.180 And of course, he's also, you know,

00:57:48.520 he's also speaking to his jihadi base, right?

00:57:51.160 So the Democrats have completely lost the plot here. 0.97

00:57:57.120 criticism shame on you shame on you you weird bald guy shame on you war is sort of met with 0.96

00:58:03.300 well gosh if it wasn't for the war iran would have already detonated nuclear weapons in the 0.99

00:58:08.000 least that's completely ridiculous that's an argument for for fox news and news max maybe

00:58:13.640 but in the real world that doesn't justify what has happened wow in the real world what what's 0.94

00:58:19.680 your real world cnn is cnn your real world cnn the the islamic regime propaganda media

00:58:27.080 outlet that goes to the islamic regime and like portrays like islamic regime propaganda 0.98

00:58:32.120 is that the real world you're talking about you psycho because the nuclear program for iran is 0.71

00:58:38.600 no weaker today than what was when this war started yes it was destroyed not what do you

00:58:43.400 mean under their nuclear material what do you mean you've just the the united states destroyed at

00:58:49.240 At least three nuclear facilities.

00:58:53.060 All the top nuclear scientists are gone. 1.00

00:58:56.080 Like, what are you talking about, you idiot? 1.00

00:58:58.400 Oh, my gosh, guys. 1.00

00:58:59.800 Okay, look at this.

00:59:01.040 Look at this.

00:59:01.660 Look at the boom, boom, bingo sheet.

00:59:04.120 Look at the boom, boom, bingo sheet.

00:59:06.580 Guys, you see this?

00:59:08.980 Do you see this?

00:59:10.380 Nuclear program.

00:59:12.160 All of their top scientists have been boom, boomed.

00:59:16.080 all of the top scientists all the top nuclear scientists have been boom boomed how is that

00:59:26.480 not weakening the nuclear program when their top nuclear scientists have been boom boomed 1.00

00:59:33.160 oh my gosh this guy is literally an idiot 0.99

00:59:37.560 and set them back not one tiny little bit the only thing that has changed on iran's nuclear 1.00

00:59:47.340 program they are now unwilling to negotiate about it they were willing no they were never 1.00

00:59:53.320 willing to negotiate about it you idiot they were never willing to negotiate about it they lied 1.00

01:00:00.200 they lied when their lips are moving they're lying they were not negotiating they were lying 1.00

01:00:06.980 They were saying that, oh, you know, yes, you know, we'll do this. We'll do that. And then they literally went and they spent billions of dollars building underground nuclear facilities in mountains. Guys, the Islamic regime was building nuclear facilities underground in mountains. What normal government does that? What normal country does that?

01:00:30.980 If you are, you know, pursuing, you know, uranium enrichment for peaceful purposes, why the heck would you build secret nuclear facilities underground in mountains? 1.00

01:00:44.060 You idiot. Wow. And the Islamic regime was never willing to negotiate on it. Never. 1.00

01:00:51.500 Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Like, this is wild.

01:00:57.400 to negotiate they were actively negotiating about it when we started this well they were

01:01:02.000 never negotiating they were lying it's called takia it's called takia oh my gosh wow like this

01:01:10.080 guy is literally willing to this guy is prepared to call out america and he is prepared to take 0.59

01:01:19.880 the side of the islamic regime which is the enemy of the united states just because he suffers from 0.62

01:01:27.180 trumped arrangement syndrome. That's literally what's happening here because nothing he's saying 0.88

01:01:31.940 makes sense. Nothing he's saying makes sense. Oh my gosh. Oh, okay. So I see a super chat. So Kuda

01:01:40.180 says, I like watching stuff like this with you and your commentary. It's like watching TV with

01:01:46.020 you, which always makes TV better. IMO. Thank you. I agree. Yeah, guys. So honestly, I appreciate

01:01:53.580 that you guys are enjoying my rants because um if I wasn't live streaming this and watching it with

01:02:00.200 you guys I would be watching this like I would just be live streaming this on my tv and I would

01:02:05.860 just be like yelling at my tv like a crazy person so at least this way um instead of yelling at my

01:02:12.340 tv all by myself I'm yelling at my computer monitor and you guys are here to hear my rants

01:02:19.580 I guess but yeah I do I do a lot of yelling especially when it comes to like politicians 0.98

01:02:25.140 because they're just so stupid but yeah thank you very much for the super chat I appreciate that yes 0.99

01:02:29.960 we're we're we're watching tv together it's a documentary not it's a congressional hearing 0.99

01:02:35.800 watch party although guys we're only oh my gosh we're literally oh oh my gosh I was so distracted

01:02:42.920 I missed Sean Hannity oh my gosh let me see if I missed what he was saying about Iran

01:02:49.020 Jeez.

01:02:50.260 See, that's how distracted I was.

01:02:52.000 Oh, my gosh.

01:02:53.100 Let me see.

01:02:53.520 Let me see if I missed it.

01:02:56.480 Let me see if I missed it.

01:02:57.900 I feel terrible now.

01:03:00.260 Oh, there we go.

01:03:01.400 I think it's a great thing to do.

01:03:03.960 Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt is here now with more.

01:03:07.380 Senator Schmidt, thank you for being here.

01:03:10.000 Tell us how the Senate is breaking down the latest developments in Iran.

01:03:13.960 Well, I think the president's been pretty clear about what the mission here is and has really

01:03:20.320 accomplished what he set out to do, which was to knock back a nuclear program in Iran and to knock 0.64

01:03:25.080 back their conventional military capability. And so I think the president has shown a great deal 0.68

01:03:28.960 of patience and prudence trying to get to a deal. You just heard in that quote, that's what he would

01:03:33.120 like to do. So if he can make further progress on that point to make sure that Iran never gets 0.99

01:03:39.900 a nuclear weapon. That's really his goal here. And I think he's engaged in serious, thoughtful

01:03:45.000 diplomacy. He had a lot of success there, which made time for the ceasefire, which has now made

01:03:50.000 time for the diplomacy. And again, I think the president, in his quote there, is seeking a deal

01:03:54.320 here to ensure that Iran doesn't get that nuclear weapon. Indeed, Senator Schmidt, the president has

01:03:59.200 been consistent from the beginning. The mission set here is to make sure they don't enrich uranium

01:04:03.580 and get their hands on a nuke. And if you look at the responsible polling questions, Senator Schmidt,

01:04:08.740 they do ask Americans, are you concerned that Iran could get nuclear weapons? And if they were to,

01:04:14.700 do you think they can harm Americans? And those numbers go way up. Why is it that politics no

01:04:21.160 longer stops at the water's edge as it did for years? Why is it that we can't get more Democrats

01:04:25.880 to really make good on the promise of so many presidents over 47 years? Where are all the

01:04:31.780 female Democratic senators saying, wow, they brutally raped their own women, they're killing 1.00

01:04:36.400 people in front of us now. Why can't we get more Democrats to be part of this? 1.00

01:04:42.680 Three words, Trump derangement syndrome, and it is metastasized in the Democrat party. It's been

01:04:48.200 completely radicalized. Their only North Star for the entire party for lack of agenda is they

01:04:54.420 simply oppose everything that President Trump supports. If President Trump wants to support

01:04:59.720 the police, they want to defund the police. If President Trump wants to move forward with

01:05:02.760 deportations with ICE. They wanted to fund ICE. They really have nothing left, Kellyanne. It's

01:05:06.980 not a good recipe electorally. Their policies are incredibly unpopular. They're intellectually

01:05:12.140 bankrupt party. All they have is this rage they have against President Trump. It didn't work out

01:05:17.140 for them before, and I don't think it'll work out again. It didn't work out for them last night,

01:05:21.360 Senator Schmidt, where President Trump ran the tables with his endorsements. Still the gold

01:05:25.740 standard, probably the most biggest chunk of political currency in American history,

01:05:30.860 is to have President Trump's endorsement.

01:05:32.960 It even worked when he was out of office.

01:05:34.500 People were begging for his endorsement.

01:05:36.360 I know it made a difference for you

01:05:37.480 in your contested primary.

01:05:39.620 How do you see the midterms shaping up now?

01:05:42.640 I think if anybody can defy political gravity

01:05:44.580 and the historical wins,

01:05:46.740 it is the president and his team.

01:05:49.740 Yeah, I think once we get to November.

01:05:52.480 Okay, so I think that's pretty much it.

01:05:55.180 Guys, Sean Hannity looks a little different tonight.

01:05:58.060 I don't know, something's off.

01:06:00.860 Sean Hannity looks a little bit different tonight.

01:06:04.080 I don't know what's going on there, but I don't know.

01:06:08.060 I don't know.

01:06:08.420 He looks a little different.

01:06:10.460 Anyways.

01:06:11.320 All right.

01:06:12.260 I'm sure they'll upload the full clip of this, but you know what?

01:06:17.080 I actually, I find it very, looks, looks the same to you.

01:06:22.340 So funny.

01:06:24.960 Jeff Lee says another average day for a Democrat.

01:06:29.460 Bless UG.

01:06:29.960 Thank you, guys.

01:06:30.660 I'm going to need all the blessings I can get right now, because, again, it's not enough that 1.00

01:06:36.280 the Islamic regime, a brutal totalitarian dictatorship, is literally murdering us every 0.99

01:06:41.760 single day. That's not enough. It's not enough that FIFA is taking the side of Islamic terrorists. 1.00

01:06:49.100 That's not enough. But on top of that, the Democrats, the Democrats are literally 0.51

01:06:53.900 being like Islamic regime apologists. And, you know, like I said, they're so blinded by their

01:07:03.440 Trump derangement syndrome that they're literally willing to carry water for the Islamic regime 0.79

01:07:09.080 if it means that they can get like some random soundbites in order to go after Trump, right? 0.97

01:07:15.520 Like these people, like the Democrats at this point, they're literally traitors. They're 0.97

01:07:19.460 traitors to America, they're all engaging in treason. Like, this is wild. Like, guys, could 0.99

01:07:25.220 you imagine like if, you know, during World War II, if, I don't know, the Democrats were attacking

01:07:31.820 President Trump because President Trump was going after Hitler, right? That's literally what's

01:07:38.140 happening right now. President Trump is going after the modern day version of Hitler and the

01:07:44.460 Democrats are defending Hitler and saying, oh, we should negotiate with Hitler. We should allow 0.95

01:07:52.080 Hitler to remain around because Hitler is not that bad and blah, blah, blah. That's literally 0.98

01:07:58.020 what's happening. That's literally what's happening, right? So when the Democrats are

01:08:02.900 saying that the Islamic regime is not a threat, literally just replace Iran and Islamic regime 0.83

01:08:08.920 with Hitler. And that's what you're seeing here. That's what you're seeing, right? 0.94

01:08:14.260 This would be like, to contextualize it, imagine if this was World War II, and instead of talking

01:08:21.960 about Iran, the Democrats were defending Nazi Germany and Hitler. That's what's happening right 0.93

01:08:28.680 now. That's what's happening. So there you go. It's disgusting. It's disgusting. All right,

01:08:35.280 let's continue. So please, let's not get over into the detail about, oh, we destroyed this

01:08:40.220 many missiles, this many launchers. What is the strategic plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz

01:08:45.840 and get us any closer to stopping Iran's nuclear program? Why would he tell you, you idiot? If he 1.00

01:08:53.180 tells you the strategic military plan, then the Islamic regime will know what the plan is. And 0.96

01:08:59.500 then the entire OPSEC is gone. Like, like, who do you think you are? What you think just because

01:09:05.560 you're a politician, that you get access to like top secret military information? Like, that's not

01:09:12.620 how this works. That's not how this works. And the military should not give away their strategy,

01:09:21.040 especially out in public. Like, what sort of idiotic question is that? Like, that's so stupid. 1.00

01:09:26.800 Yeah. Yeah. Let's let's have Admiral Brad Cooper just openly, openly give away the plans so that the Islamic regime can know what exactly the American military plans on doing. 1.00

01:09:40.260 Right. Like how stupid are these people? 1.00

01:09:43.120 For all the criticisms of the previous presidents, which, of course, the current president was one of those previous presidents. 1.00

01:09:49.060 All of those previous presidents managed to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon without.

01:09:54.640 No, they didn't. No, no one stopped the Islamic regime from getting a nuclear weapon. In fact, 0.95

01:10:01.760 the JCPOA is what enabled the Islamic regime to enrich uranium and become very, very close 0.94

01:10:10.080 to acquiring a nuclear weapon. You idiot. President Trump stopped it. President Trump 1.00

01:10:15.380 is the reason why the Islamic regime was not able to acquire a nuclear weapon because the JCPOA 0.98

01:10:22.760 is something that was promoted and proposed by the Islamic regime. And it was promoted 0.99

01:10:29.780 by their Islamic regime lobby groups in the United States. You idiots. Oh my gosh. Wow. 1.00

01:10:37.900 Like this. Okay. You know what? It's, I say this, you know, I was a politician for seven years.

01:10:44.820 It's one thing to, you know, be partisan and, you know, go on party lines and things like that.

01:10:51.880 But it's another thing entirely to engage in historical revisionism and just flat out lies in order to make the current sitting president look bad because he's not your party.

01:11:05.200 Like, that's shameful. That's shameful.

01:11:09.400 Dropping the Middle East and much of the world into chaos. 1.00

01:11:13.300 That is really the difference, right? 1.00

01:11:14.900 Shame on you.

01:11:15.860 And I know most of the uniform folks, when we ask these questions, say,

01:11:21.880 Well, we're just going to tell you what's going on.

01:11:23.920 Whoa, whoa.

01:11:25.000 Did he just disrespect the military by calling them uniform folks?

01:11:33.080 Did he just disrespect, literally, like, did he literally just disrespect people who put their lives on the line to keep America safe by calling them uniform folks?

01:11:49.180 Wow.

01:11:51.240 Wow.

01:11:51.880 wow oh my gosh like that is just that okay that is flat out disgusting oh my gosh like you know

01:12:03.060 when i think the democrats can't get to a new low they get even lower and now they're literally

01:12:11.580 disrespecting the men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line to keep america safe

01:12:20.380 and free by calling them the uniform folks. Wow. You know what? He's a disgusting person.

01:12:29.500 Like he's just, he's just disgusting. Much of the world into chaos. That is really the 1.00

01:12:34.900 difference right now. And I know most of the uniform folks, when we ask these questions say,

01:12:39.760 well, we're just going to tell you what's going on. We don't do the strategy. I find that an

01:12:44.320 incredibly unacceptable answer and not an answer that I had ever gotten before from uniform personnel

01:12:49.420 under any other president the whole we just work here thing doesn't really work you guys should

01:12:54.900 have strategic answers and you should be willing to share them with the american people and with 0.99

01:13:00.180 this committee where we're at why should they share the strategic answers you idiot if they do 0.98

01:13:06.400 that the islamic regime will know what the strategy is like who do you think you are at right now is 1.00

01:13:14.660 the president every few days threatens to kill as many iranians as humanly possible he doesn't

01:13:20.980 no he's the president trump has literally never never threatened to kill iranians he talks about

01:13:29.860 boom booming the islamic regime which by the way the vast majority of iranians 85 million iranians

01:13:37.540 support that. We want that. So you know what? Do not speak for Iranians. You do not speak for me.

01:13:45.320 You do not speak for my family. You do not speak for the Iranian people. And shame on you. Shame 1.00

01:13:52.000 on you for politicizing the plight of Iranians and pretending that you care about Iranians 1.00

01:13:57.940 just to push your own garbage Democrat propaganda. 1.00

01:14:04.500 Like, shame on you. 1.00

01:14:05.380 You do not get to politicize the blood of Iranian people for your own agenda.

01:14:13.900 You do not speak for us.

01:14:15.400 And President Trump has never, ever threatened the Iranian people.

01:14:20.120 He's only threatened the Islamic regime. 0.86

01:14:22.760 And by the way, I fully support that. 0.88

01:14:24.780 The vast majority of Iranians, we support that.

01:14:27.100 We want President Trump to boom-boom. 0.99

01:14:32.720 We want President Trump to boom-boom the Islamic regime. 1.00

01:14:37.160 Boom-boom them, eradicate them, get rid of them. 1.00

01:14:40.640 And where was this guy when the January massacre happened? 0.99

01:14:45.740 Where were you when the Islamic regime slaughtered over 40,000 innocent Iranians in two days alone?

01:14:52.260 Where were you?

01:14:53.080 Where were you, right? 0.99

01:14:54.100 Like, you do not get to politicize the blood of the Iranian people for your garbage jihadi agenda. 1.00

01:15:03.420 Shame on you. 0.99

01:15:05.520 He's never, he hasn't, President Trump has never, ever, ever threatened the Iranian people.

01:15:13.300 In fact, if you recall, right from the get-go, right from the get-go, this is President Trump's historic speech.

01:15:30.820 This is his speech.

01:15:32.400 in case anyone needs a reminder this is his speech

01:15:43.920 the united states military began major combat operations in iran our objective is to defend 0.92

01:15:56.640 the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious 0.96

01:16:04.200 group of very hard, terrible people. Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, 0.99

01:16:13.400 our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world. For 47 years, the Iranian 1.00

01:16:20.420 regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder, 0.99

01:16:28.940 targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent people in many, many countries.

01:16:35.020 Among the regime's very first acts was to back a violent takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran,

01:16:41.400 holding dozens of American hostages for 444 days.

01:16:47.520 In 1983, Iran's proxies carried out the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut

01:16:53.660 that killed 241 American military personnel.

01:16:58.320 In 2000, they knew and were probably involved with the attack on the USS Cole.

01:17:05.080 Many died.

01:17:05.860 Iranian forces killed and maimed hundreds of American service members in Iraq

01:17:11.740 The regime's proxies have continued to launch countless attacks against American forces

01:17:17.280 stationed in the Middle East in recent years

01:17:20.240 as well as U.S. naval and commercial vessels and international shipping lands 0.97

01:17:25.580 It's been mass terror

01:17:28.340 and we're not going to put up with it any longer 1.00

01:17:31.360 From Lebanon to Yemen and Syria to Iraq

01:17:35.340 The regime has armed, trained, and funded terrorist militias that have soaked the earth with blood and guts.

01:17:44.840 And it was Iran's proxy, Hamas, that launched the monstrous October 7th attacks on Israel,

01:17:53.200 slaughtering more than 1,000 innocent people, including 46 Americans, while taking 12 of our citizens hostage.

01:18:00.940 It was brutal. Something like the world has never seen before. Iran is the world's number one state

01:18:09.360 sponsor of terror and just recently killed tens of thousands of its own citizens on the street 0.88

01:18:15.940 as they protested. It has always been the policy of the United States, in particular, my administration,

01:18:23.420 that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I'll say it again. They can never

01:18:30.260 have a nuclear weapon. That is why in Operation Midnight Hammer last June—

01:18:38.200 And, you know, President Trump has been unwavering on that. Like, President Trump

01:18:43.480 has never wavered on that line. They can never have a nuclear weapon. He's never faltered.

01:18:50.940 That's always been the red line. 0.93

01:18:53.020 we obliterated the regime's nuclear program at fordo natance and isfahan after that attack we 0.90

01:19:05.580 warned them never to resume their malicious pursuit of nuclear weapons and we sought 0.90

01:19:11.740 repeatedly to make a deal we tried they wanted to do it they didn't want to do it again they

01:19:19.720 wanted to do it. They didn't want to do it. They didn't know what was happening. They just wanted

01:19:24.480 to practice evil. But Iran refused, just as it has for decades and decades. They rejected every 1.00

01:19:33.380 opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions, and we can't take it anymore. Instead, they

01:19:40.780 attempted to rebuild their nuclear program and to continue developing long-range missiles that can

01:19:48.760 now threaten our very good friends and allies in Europe, our troops stationed overseas and could

01:19:56.160 soon reach the American homeland. Just imagine how emboldened this regime would be if they ever had

01:20:04.100 and actually were armed with nuclear weapons as a means to deliver their message. For these reasons,

01:20:12.300 the United States military has undertaken a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this

01:20:18.700 very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests.

01:20:26.900 We are going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground. It will be 0.59

01:20:33.220 totally, again, obliterated. We are going to annihilate their navy. We are going to ensure 0.99

01:20:40.680 that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world

01:20:46.340 and attack our forces and no longer use their IEDs or roadside bombs, as they are sometimes

01:20:54.280 called to so gravely wound and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans. 0.79

01:21:01.940 And we will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon. It's a very simple message. 0.75

01:21:09.660 they will never have a nuclear weapon. This regime will soon learn that no one should

01:21:16.580 challenge the strength and might of the United States Armed Forces. I built and rebuilt our

01:21:23.240 military in my first administration, and there is no military on Earth even close to its power,

01:21:31.120 strength, or sophistication. My administration has taken every possible step to minimize the

01:21:37.440 risk to U.S. personnel in the region. Even so, and I do not make this statement lightly,

01:21:44.840 the Iranian regime seeks to kill. The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost,

01:21:51.640 and we may have casualties that often happens in war. But we're doing this not for now. We're

01:21:58.980 doing this for the future, and it is a noble mission. We pray for every service member as

01:22:05.740 they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans and our children will never be threatened 0.95

01:22:12.000 by a nuclear armed Iran. We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way, and we trust that 0.71

01:22:19.700 with his help, the men and women of the armed forces will prevail. We have the greatest in

01:22:26.720 the world, and they will prevail. To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed

01:22:33.160 forces and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete 0.94

01:22:40.440 immunity or, in the alternative, face certain death. So lay down your arms. You will be treated

01:22:48.860 fairly with total immunity or you will face certain death. Finally, to the great proud people

01:22:57.140 of Iran. I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Here we go. This is the part

01:23:03.640 where President Trump sends a message to the Iranian people. So shame, shame on that Democrat 0.98

01:23:10.960 for claiming or pretending like he cares about Iranian lives. He does not care about Iranian

01:23:19.580 lives because President Trump made it very clear exactly what's going to happen. And sure,

01:23:25.460 The path has not been straight because there are so many obstacles in President Trump's way and there are so many institutions and governments and groups and organizations that want to see the Islamic regime survive because they benefit from the money they get from the Islamic regime. 0.93

01:23:47.020 So they would rather see our people remain oppressed if it means that they can financially benefit from it, right? 0.92

01:23:55.860 Because they don't care. They don't care about the Iranian people. 0.97

01:23:59.080 The only people who actually care about Iranians is the Israeli government and President Trump's administration.

01:24:06.000 And this message from President Trump right here, he has never wavered from this.

01:24:12.360 And I believe that we are getting very close to this moment.

01:24:17.140 So listen to this part, because he actually has a message for the Iranian people. 0.98

01:24:22.660 Down your arms, you will be treated fairly with total immunity, or you will face certain death.

01:24:31.400 Finally, to the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand.

01:24:38.720 Stay sheltered. Don't leave your home.

01:24:40.760 It's very dangerous outside.

01:24:43.060 Bombs will be dropping everywhere.

01:24:45.020 When we are finished, take over your government.

01:24:47.800 It will be yours to take.

01:24:50.420 When we are finished, take over your government.

01:24:54.000 It will be yours to take.

01:24:55.820 I don't know how much clearer that needs to be, right?

01:24:59.000 And President Trump, a few days ago, on his trip back from China, he said, we're not done.

01:25:07.460 He said, the job is not done.

01:25:09.160 And he said, we're only about 70 to 75 percent of the way there.

01:25:14.320 OK, so even President Trump has said that it's not over.

01:25:18.940 Right. So shame, shame on that Democrat for saying, oh, all these attacks happened, but regime change didn't happen.

01:25:26.500 Yeah, because it's not the time yet. It's not time yet for regime change.

01:25:31.220 because Iranians, we have been rising up for the last 47 years, and every single time we rise up,

01:25:37.580 the Islamic regime murders us. So the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over 0.87

01:25:44.300 again and expecting a different result. So Iranians right now are waiting. They're waiting 1.00

01:25:49.860 for the right time to rise up and overthrow the Islamic regime. That's what President Trump is

01:25:56.240 saying he's saying when we're done when we're done is is america done yet i don't hear no what's

01:26:03.240 that saying like i don't hear no bell there's no bell right the united states is not done yet

01:26:09.260 we're getting to the final stages we're getting to the end game i believe but the united states

01:26:15.700 is not done so obviously the iranian people haven't risen up yet because the united states is not done

01:26:22.440 we are finished take okay freedom is at hand

01:26:28.420 you will be treated fairly with total immunity or you will face certain death finally to the

01:26:38.060 great proud people of iran i say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand

01:26:43.620 stay sheltered don't leave your home it's very dangerous outside bombs will be dropping

01:26:49.620 everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.

01:26:55.740 This will be probably your only chance for generations. For many years, you have asked

01:27:02.460 for America's help, but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing

01:27:08.440 to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want. So let's see how you

01:27:15.020 respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time

01:27:22.200 to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close

01:27:29.080 within your reach. This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass. May God bless the brave men

01:27:36.520 and women of America's armed forces. May God bless the United States of America. May God bless you

01:27:43.680 all. Thank you. A historic, historic speech from President Trump. So going, going back to this

01:27:53.840 Democrat loser, like shame, shame on this Democrat loser for claiming that, for claiming that 1.00

01:28:01.680 President Trump is, you know, saying that, oh, every few days he threatens to kill Iranians. 1.00

01:28:07.040 No, he's threatening to exterminate the Islamic regime and shame on you for not knowing the

01:28:13.200 difference between the Iranian people and the Islamic regime that's occupying people. Because 0.71

01:28:18.640 we actually support President Trump boom booming the Islamic regime. We want him to continue. 1.00

01:28:24.220 So that's how out of touch these people are. They're not even on the same planet. These people

01:28:30.960 are in a whole other different universe. And that universe is called hell. These people are in hell

01:28:37.320 and that's where they belong because they're literally soulless demons should have strategic

01:28:43.320 answers and you should be willing to share them with the american people yeah and by the way guys

01:28:47.560 we're only nine minutes into this like three hour congressional hearings so i have a feeling we

01:28:54.120 probably won't watch the entire thing tonight so i have a lot of commentary to add um but yeah

01:29:00.920 let's see how far we can get and with this committee where we're at right now is the

01:29:07.320 president every few days threatens to kill as many iranians as humanly possible no he he he 1.00

01:29:13.480 threatens to kill the islamic regime you idiot he does it in a variety of different language 1.00

01:29:17.720 um but basically no quarter you know we will erase their civilization we'll yeah we we want 1.00

01:29:24.360 we want the united states to erase the islamic regime civilization we want that we want that we 1.00

01:30:38.640 a sarcastic way like he's he's he's saying it in a sarcastic way like he's literally um just 0.81

01:30:46.400 whitewashing the horrific crimes of the islamic regime single person in iran and the chairman's 0.98

01:30:53.300 absolutely right the iranian regime is awful evil terrible they've killed tens of thousands of 1.00

01:30:57.300 iranian civilians and then terrible things throughout the region what are we in a competition 0.92

01:31:01.080 with them now to talk about how many iranian civilians we can kill what just saying that 0.97

01:31:06.480 pushes a good chunk of the world further away from us. 1.00

01:31:09.920 Billy, I don't know that we want to deal with those people.

01:31:11.800 But of course, he says it. 1.00

01:31:13.780 You are a garbage human being. 1.00

01:31:16.340 You are a garbage human being. 1.00

01:31:19.020 Shame on you for comparing the humanitarian operation 1.00

01:31:24.540 by the United States and Israel

01:31:26.960 to the brutal massacre conducted by the Islamic regime. 0.95

01:31:31.780 Shame on you. Shame on you. 1.00

01:31:33.520 this guys by the way this idiot would not last 24 hours in the islamic regime he would not last 1.00

01:31:43.460 24 hours like the same people that he's like whitewashing he would not last 24 hours in that 1.00

01:31:49.920 society and then the next day or two days later didn't do anything much less that and then claims

01:31:56.600 that iran is now willing to negotiate on all these issues in fact the absolute nadir of this

01:32:03.140 process was i think was four weeks ago when i woke up friday morning okay let me go to a few 1.00

01:32:08.500 super chats because i see a few comments here um kuda this dude's gaslighting is stupid and moronic 0.99

01:32:16.980 i agree it's it's it's ridiculous i mean unfortunately we iranians were used to being 0.99

01:32:23.140 gaslit by the islamic regime our entire lives so we can like we can spot gaslighting like 10 miles 0.64

01:32:29.940 away and this is all gaslighting like shame on him then kuda uh says they walked into the first 0.95

01:32:36.800 meeting and said we have enough to make 10 or 11 nukes and we won't give you what you can't even 0.52

01:32:42.940 take by force yeah that's exactly what happened like whitkoff uh steve whitkoff who was like

01:32:48.260 literally anti-war um and steve whitkoff was like wanted to make like some sort of diplomatic deal

01:32:56.340 Even Steve Wyckoff was like, we cannot negotiate with them because that's what they said to Steve

01:33:01.200 Wyckoff. So yeah, you're absolutely right. Like the Islamic regime even admitted that they have

01:33:05.700 enough uranium to create like 10 or 11 nuclear bombs. Kuda, Democrat. Yeah, that's the term 0.60

01:33:14.240 that President Trump has coined. Sabre, so I responded to, yeah, no, I saw that. I saw your

01:33:21.060 petition i'll take a look at it after my live stream and uh yeah happy to support and raise

01:33:27.180 awareness any way i can thank you so much and you're never spamming so thank you for the message

01:33:33.660 uh payanda iran javitsha um russ mega says he belongs in a twilight zone episode yeah i agree

01:33:42.540 i agree absolutely all right let's continue oh my gosh we're only like 10 minutes in and the

01:33:49.760 president said, Iran has completely capitulated. You remember that? The war was over. You know,

01:33:55.640 Iran had agreed to get rid of their nukes, get rid of their terrorism support, get rid of their 0.90

01:33:59.360 ballistic missiles, open up. The strait was open and there was reporting all day long like this 0.69

01:34:03.760 was real. The president literally made up. There was no progress whatsoever. No, he didn't make

01:34:10.300 it up. What happened is that the president was speaking with one faction of the Islamic regime

01:34:16.580 And then the other faction said, no, we're not going to do that, because after the extermination of Ali Khamenei, the Islamic regime fractured.

01:34:26.140 And now there's different factions competing and vying for power. 1.00

01:34:30.740 So shame on you for being such an idiot that you cannot even comprehend how authoritarian dictatorships and regimes work. 1.00

01:34:40.220 And shame on you for thinking that it's more likely that the president of the United States would lie over a brutal totalitarian Islamic dictatorship that has literally been lying and gaslighting for the last 47 years, right? 1.00

01:34:59.300 Because if I had to pick between which side is lying, I would never in a million years pick the United States president. 0.97

01:35:06.940 I would pick the Islamic regime because they're literally gaslighters and they lie if their lips 1.00

01:35:12.220 are moving if their lips are moving guys they're lying for now the credibility of our entire 1.00

01:35:20.060 country because sadly the credibility of our country hinges on the are we even guys are we 1.00

01:35:25.280 getting to a question because I feel like I've just been listening to this idiot man just ramble 1.00

01:35:32.360 and rant jihadi propaganda for like the last hour. Like, is he even getting to a question 1.00

01:35:37.800 or is he just like, you know, pontificating so he can have some sort of like soundbite or sound

01:35:44.720 clip for his like social media channels to help him get reelected, right? Like this to me,

01:35:51.100 he doesn't actually care about asking a question. He's just pontificating. He's just like spouting

01:35:55.940 political crap because I know exactly what he's going to do. He's going to take this clip, 0.99

01:36:03.760 he's going to post it on his social media, and he's going to be like, reelect Mr. Bald Democrat 1.00

01:36:09.800 idiot man who supports Islamic terrorists because I hate Trump, right? Like that's, 1.00

01:36:14.960 this is literally, he's creating this for his re-election campaign. Guys, and I say this as a

01:36:20.320 former politician. I can smell political crap when I see it. This guy, he does not actually care 0.99

01:36:26.820 about the answers. He does not actually care about learning the truth. He's literally just

01:36:32.400 pontificating and he's just spouting propaganda because he's going to take clips of it and be

01:36:39.640 like, look at me. Look how I owned Admiral Brad Cooper. Look at me. Vote for me so I can be your

01:36:46.040 voice to support the islamic regime and go after president trump vote for me this message approved 0.93

01:36:52.440 by the democrats right like that that's literally what this is this it's literally like because

01:36:57.400 that's what politicians do they they you know and i don't even know who this guy is like obviously

01:37:02.760 this guy is like literally a nobody right like this guy is literally a political nobody so this

01:37:09.080 right here guys i'm telling you let me tell you something this right here right now on my you know

01:37:15.400 tiny little live stream with only like 3,000 people watching, this is probably the most 0.97

01:37:22.160 attention he's ever going to get in his pathetic political career, right? So his entire pathetic 0.99

01:37:29.380 garbage political career right now, this moment, this is as much attention as he will ever get in 1.00

01:37:37.820 his garbage career. And it's only because I'm calling out his jihadi propaganda, right? Because 1.00

01:37:44.360 he's obviously a nobody no one cares who he is so this guy is like desperate to like oh look at me

01:37:51.440 in my suit and my little like pin and oh I'm going after President Trump right like that this is

01:37:57.740 literally his like moment in the in the spotlight and I see I see this constantly especially with

01:38:04.040 older politicians who are just you know because here's the thing if you're like an old politician

01:38:09.820 but you're still like a no name nobody that basically means you failed in your political

01:38:15.220 career so there you go that that's basically what this is so this guy's literally a failure

01:38:21.880 or he knows he knows he's a failure so he's just trying to like you know drum up some sort of like

01:38:28.180 whatever garbage propaganda so he can just like share it with his constituents and be like look

01:38:34.200 i'm useful i'm relevant i ask important questions right that that's literally what it is guys i've

01:38:41.860 dealt with i had to deal with these sorts of politicians all the time and let me tell you 1.00

01:38:47.220 these people are the worst like they're literally the biggest idiots they they walk around and they 1.00

01:38:51.980 think that they're so intelligent and they're literally the stupidest people on earth like 1.00

01:38:55.840 guys i'm telling you like 70 70 of politicians are literally idiots who fail upwards 1.00

01:39:04.420 Literally, they fail upwards. 1.00

01:39:06.280 They have no idea what's going on.

01:39:08.400 They don't care about anything.

01:39:10.020 All they care about is getting reelected.

01:39:12.580 And let me tell you something.

01:39:15.060 If I cared about getting reelected, 1.00

01:39:17.840 I would not be speaking out about Iran when I was a politician. 1.00

01:39:22.700 I not only risked my political career, I lost. 0.97

01:39:27.000 I lost my political career.

01:39:29.080 I was kicked out of my party because I was raising awareness about Iran and the Iranian

01:39:35.260 fight against the Islamic regime. But let me tell you something. If I had to do it all over again,

01:39:41.080 I would. If I had to do it all over again a thousand times, a million times, I would not

01:39:48.160 change anything because I not for a single second regret the fact that I was kicked out of my party

01:39:56.140 because I was raising awareness about Iran 0.91

01:39:58.760 because that is the right thing to do.

01:40:01.040 Because if I had instead focused on just,

01:40:05.900 oh, I'll just remain silent

01:40:08.220 and I'll just focus on getting reelected,

01:40:11.220 you know something,

01:40:12.260 I would never, ever be able to live with myself.

01:40:16.520 So yeah, maybe that's,

01:40:19.000 honestly, that's probably why the reason

01:40:21.340 that I was not a good politician anyway

01:40:24.160 because you know politicians are supposed to be vanilla and politicians are just supposed to be

01:40:29.280 like neutral and whatever so yeah i guess politics just wasn't for me because i actually i don't know

01:40:36.000 i have a conscience and i have a soul and i always cared about doing the right thing and i just could

01:40:42.720 never ever um be silent in the face of injustice you know what i mean so yeah i guess politics

01:40:50.480 wasn't for me, but that's fine. But I did learn a lot. I did learn a lot. Again, I was in politics

01:40:55.200 for 10 years. So, uh, I've become like the political whisperer. That's why I'm really good

01:41:00.440 at, uh, you know, translating what president Trump says from, you know, politics to, to English,

01:41:06.060 but all right. Um, let's go to, okay. So Tom for life, can we just skip this guy and go to someone

01:41:13.940 else? We can't because I want, I'm sorry. I really want to watch this. I know I'm ranting,

01:41:18.700 but i do want to watch this because it's just a political nerd in me but what i do is i will

01:41:24.700 promise you as soon as i'm done with the rest of the super chats we'll play the rest of this and

01:41:29.860 i will not interrupt anymore no matter how much like he says something ridiculous i just i won't

01:41:35.180 interrupt it we'll just let it go through and that way we can get over it much more quickly

01:41:40.440 Stephanie Risley sorry Stephen Risley says most politicians just use up good oxygen and do

01:41:48.380 nothing yeah I agree a hundred percent I agree I've experienced it myself Kuda you fight the

01:41:55.760 good fight a hundred percent thank you I appreciate that Rickon this loser is the other Vermont

01:42:02.120 senator with Bernie Sanders it tells you oh of course obviously so it tells you everything about

01:42:08.160 him. So there you go. So I was right. I was right. So this loser dude, because he's literally

01:42:13.900 competing against Bernie Sanders and everyone knows who Bernie Sanders is. You know, Bernie 0.97

01:42:18.180 Sanders is garbage as well. But that's why this guy is like now trying to overcompensate because 1.00

01:42:23.100 he probably feels like, oh, Bernie Sanders takes all the limelight and like no one even knows who

01:42:28.360 he is. Right. So that's that's what it is right here. Stephen Risley says, Goldie had the good

01:42:34.740 sense to get away and do this instead are our good fortune thank you i appreciate that that's

01:42:39.960 very very kind of you very thoughtful of you and melissa joy cat lady five dollar super sticker

01:42:45.600 thank you all right okay so tom for life tom for life i promise you um so i will i will play the

01:42:53.100 rest of this guy and i promise you no matter how bad it gets i will not interrupt i will not

01:43:00.520 interrupt and that's for you so that we can get through this more quickly because i i really do

01:43:04.840 want to know what he says that's just the political nerd in me i apologize the credibility of our

01:43:10.480 president is dead who's going to believe anything we say there is no evidence today that iran is

01:43:16.860 negotiating any of these things their position has not budged pay us to open up the straight

01:43:22.180 that's basically their position which is an incredibly weaker position for us so what we

01:43:27.540 need to know today is what's the strategic plan to get us out of this hole we're in and thumping

01:43:34.580 our chest about how many successful missions we ran doesn't change the fact that our economy is

01:43:40.340 in the toilet inflation is higher than it's been in three or four years gas prices are up a buck

01:43:44.580 fifty and there's no end in sight the rest of the world is more dependent upon the straight

01:43:55.700 of Hormuz being open than we are, which makes them just so grateful to us for having effectively

01:44:00.660 shut it down. So let's hear a plan that isn't the president getting up in the morning and

01:44:06.900 imagining that somehow wish fulfillment works in foreign policy, imagining that Iran has

01:44:12.340 completely capitulated to all of our demands. What is an actual plan to get us out of this

01:44:18.340 Why would he tell you? 1.00

01:44:19.640 Why would he tell you the plan, you idiot? 1.00

01:44:22.700 Why would he tell you the plan? 1.00

01:44:24.180 That's what we need to hear today.

01:44:26.020 He's not going to tell you the plan.

01:44:28.320 Thank the ranking member.

01:44:29.400 I'd now like to introduce our witnesses.

01:44:31.400 First, we have the Honorable Dan Zimmerman, Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs,

01:44:37.380 Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of CENTCOM, and General Dagvin Anderson, Commander of APRICOM.

01:44:47.160 Welcome to our witnesses.

01:44:48.620 Mr. Zimmerman, we'll start with you.

01:44:49.920 You're recognized.

01:44:51.900 Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Smith and distinguished members of this committee,

01:44:56.640 thank you for the opportunity to testify on the posture of our forces and strategic priorities

01:45:01.360 within the U.S. Central Command and U.S. Africa Command areas of responsibility.

01:45:06.560 It is my honor to appear alongside CENTCOM Commander Admiral Cooper and AFRICOM Commander

01:45:13.760 General Anderson.

01:45:15.540 My testimony today will focus on the Department's approach to posture and strategy in these two theaters

01:45:20.220 and how that is guided by our National Defense Strategy, or NDS.

01:45:26.220 The NDS is based on the principles of peace through strength and America First foreign policy,

01:45:31.980 flowing from the conviction that a government's first duty is always to its own citizens.

01:45:36.880 Our strategy has four succinct lines of effort.

01:45:40.220 First, we will defend the homeland. 0.96

01:45:42.540 second we will deter china in the indo-pacific third we will encourage and expect our allies 1.00

01:45:50.220 and partners to step up and take more respect oh deterring china guys so that fits in perfectly 0.77

01:45:58.320 with president trump's trip to china remember i made a whole video i was like president trump's

01:46:04.880 trip to china was not kissing the ring it was not appeasement if anything it was the opposite

01:46:09.980 President Trump went to China to put China in their place and say, you will not dictate what happens and you will not, you know, like try to help the Islamic regime and help them survive.

01:46:24.340 And now this guy is saying that one of the, you know, strategies or whatever goals is to make sure that that America has supremacy over China in the Indo-Pacific area.

01:46:41.100 Responsibility, especially in those areas where they have direct national security interests.

01:46:46.440 And finally, to achieve all of this, we must supercharge the U.S. defense industrial base.

01:46:52.360 Our strategy is America first. The United States will prioritize theaters and challenges

01:46:58.060 with the greatest consequence for American interests and where only American power can

01:47:03.560 play a decisive role. Our adversaries must understand without doubt that the United States

01:47:09.040 possesses both the capability and the political will to use decisive force to protect its vital

01:47:14.820 interests and to safeguard the security and prosperity of the American people.

01:47:18.800 As the NDS lays out, we aim to work with and support our allies and partners around the world to deter threats, set conditions for peace, and to pursue mutual security interests.

01:47:31.420 Regarding the Middle East, President Trump has made clear that the United States seeks a more peaceful and prosperous Middle East, one defined by commerce and not chaos.

01:47:41.440 This needs to be a Middle East where our allies and partners invest in and take the lead in responsibility for their own security.

01:47:50.080 But to be clear, the United States will always retain the ability to act decisively to defend ourselves and our allies where and when we need. 0.88

01:48:00.080 Operation Epic Fury is an example of this strategy in action. 0.52

01:48:04.080 The president initiated Operation Epic Fury in direct response to the Iranian regime that waged a one-sided war against America for 47 years that threatened allies and partners and caused thousands of American casualties. 0.78

01:48:19.140 And I would like to mention here and acknowledge the 14 fallen service members.

01:48:26.000 We honor them and their families.

01:48:28.000 Across every domain, land, sea, air, and cyber, the U.S. joint force delivered synchronized and layered effects to disrupt, degrade, and destroy Iran's ability to conduct and sustain combat operations.

01:48:42.580 The Secretary has noted that although Operation Epic Fury was historic for its complexity, lethality, and precision, it also had a laser-focused mission, scoped to our interests, and the defense of our people and our allies.

01:48:55.980 President Trump also seeks to redefine the United States relationship with Africa, transitioning from an aid-focused relationship to a trade and investment-focused relationship, favoring partnerships with capable, reliable states intent on achieving common interests.

01:49:13.600 Our department will take a resource-sustainable approach to counterterrorism and stand ready to take direct action against Islamic terrorists in Africa who are both capable of

01:49:25.980 guys guys he said islamic terrorists in africa remember what i said earlier remember how i said 0.64

01:49:38.140 the instability in africa is being caused by the islamic regime in qatar and the muslim 0.56

01:49:44.080 brotherhood because they're expanding their jihad and now this gentleman

01:49:50.540 literally just said the same thing. He just said, Islamic terrorists in Africa. 0.97

01:50:01.900 There you go. See, guys, you stick with me. You listen to my commentary. I put you on the right 1.00

01:50:10.120 path. I will give you the DL before you even hear the DL. So there you go. Right? Like I literally

01:50:18.220 just went on a whole rant about uh islamic terrorists in africa and how they're being funded

01:50:23.900 by the islamic regime in qatar and now he just said the same thing gosh so you know what guys

01:50:30.300 sometimes sometimes i just get tired of being right all the time i just get tired i'm joking

01:50:35.260 i never get tired of being right department will take a resource sustainable approach to counter 0.65

01:50:40.780 terrorism and stand ready to take direct action against islamic terrorists africa who are both

01:50:47.420 capable of and intent on and striking the u.s homeland while empowering african and other 0.70

01:50:54.260 partners to lead efforts to degrade and destroy terrorist organizations throughout the continent

01:50:59.420 our operation with nigeria over the weekend is an example of this strategy in action

01:51:05.620 working alongside nigerian partners u.s forces executed a raid in northeast nigeria

01:51:11.160 killing the ISIS global director of operations,

01:51:15.000 Bilal al-Muniki, 0.84

01:51:16.420 and members of his inner circle. 0.91

01:51:18.680 Muniki will no longer be able to plot against America. 1.00

01:51:21.180 Ooh, so Nigerian kotlets, look at that. 1.00

01:51:24.620 The Nigerians got some kotlets too,

01:51:27.120 which is well-deserved and well-earned.

01:51:31.580 ...citizens and interests.

01:51:34.380 In conclusion, the Department of War

01:51:36.480 will continue without wavering

01:51:38.300 to defend and secure the freedom and prosperity

01:51:41.120 of the United States. Our posture in the U.S. CENTCOM and U.S. AFRICOM AORs is a coherent and

01:51:47.340 integrated execution of our national defense strategy. It is an America first policy that

01:51:53.760 advances peace through strength. Under the direction of President Trump, the department

01:51:57.840 has demonstrated our commitment and capability. So guys, actually, so I'm going to do a plug here

01:52:03.680 for one of my earlier, like, okay, so now we're going back to like when my channel was pretty

01:52:10.160 much brand new. And I didn't have a lot of followers back then. But I did actually like

01:52:18.960 where is it I did like a number of where's it? Where's the playlist here? Here we go.

01:52:29.860 I literally did a number of episodes on the Nigerian genocide and

01:52:38.420 this video. Oh, wow. Oh, okay. So it did get a lot of views. So, okay. So guys,

01:52:48.140 this video is so old. This is back when I was just starting my channel. So guys,

01:52:53.880 don't judge me. Don't judge me. Okay. Because, um, this is before, like I had like my setup,

01:53:01.060 it's before I had, you know, like my, my fancy background and like, I didn't even have a proper

01:53:07.120 webcam, like a proper camera. I was just using the, um, the camera on my laptop, but guys,

01:53:13.320 you know, everyone starts from somewhere. So this is my live stream from October 20, 2025. Okay.

01:53:21.260 This is, like, before my channel was big.

01:53:24.720 But watch this because, okay, this is, like, wait, where'd it go?

01:53:33.460 Oh, yeah, and I didn't even have, like, the proper, like, intro theme or anything.

01:53:37.220 So the live stream was called Nigerian Genocide.

01:53:41.600 Why are Muslims massacring Christians in Nigeria?

01:53:46.000 So I just want to share something because, okay, again, this is, like,

01:53:49.860 so so we're going to like old school goldie but this is important because i i even though like

01:53:57.900 you know it wasn't as fancy back then but i laid out the framework um back then on how this is

01:54:07.080 related to the islamic regime so let's just watch this for my daily live stream today we're going

01:54:13.200 to talk about a very important topic that's not getting a lot of media attention and i'm going to

01:54:19.600 um explain and guys I'm gonna take a quick health break but I'll be right back

01:54:24.220 but I this is really important because what's happening in Nigeria it's not getting a lot of

01:54:31.320 attention so this this is going back to like October literally my channel had only like I

01:54:36.980 don't know maybe 2,000 followers maybe a thousand followers and as you can see like the backdrop is

01:54:44.400 like, you know, it's not, it's not what it is today. Guys, we, you know, we started from the

01:54:51.060 bottom. Now we hear, you know, that Drake song started from the bottom. Now we hear. Yeah. I

01:54:56.560 started from pretty humble beginnings, but I think one of the reasons that my channel grew so quickly

01:55:01.560 is because I've always spoken from the heart and I've always just, you know, tried to, to, to,

01:55:08.060 to to convey the right information and you know not like clickbait garbage nonsense but let's just

01:55:15.340 watch this and i'll be right back why i've been doing a deep dive into this so that you don't

01:55:24.380 have to in fact i stayed up incredibly late last night because there is a lot of information

01:55:30.540 and i think i'm gonna have to do maybe two or or three parts here sorry i have a bit of a dry

01:55:38.520 throat as well um i think i'm coming down with something so we're going to talk about the

01:55:43.900 nigerian genocide and there are a few elements here to the nigerian genocide that really need

01:55:50.940 to be pointed out first of all um we need to talk about why this is not in the media

01:55:57.220 we also need to talk about what exactly is happening we also need to talk about why there

01:56:06.080 are certain um islamists who are pushing really hard to deny the nigerian genocide and pretend

01:56:16.120 to that i feel like the video is lagging maybe just let me just refresh it maybe that might fix

01:56:20.660 it a bit of a dry throat as well um i think i'm coming down with something so we're going to talk

01:56:26.280 about the Nigerian genocide and there are a few elements here to the Nigerian genocide that really

01:56:33.660 need to be pointed out first of all guys and yes I know I know there's a typo in the title I know

01:56:41.940 there's a typo in the title I misspelled massacring I get that I didn't realize until after so just

01:56:49.680 deal with the typo i'll be right back

01:56:54.160 well um we need to talk about why this is not in the media

01:57:00.720 we also need to talk about what exactly is happening

01:57:05.040 we also need to talk about why there are certain um islamists who are

01:57:11.920 pushing really hard to deny the nigerian genocide and pretend

01:57:18.320 that it's not happening or um they're trying to pretend that there are other reasons behind this

01:57:26.720 and finally we are going to talk about how and why the violence in nigeria specifically um islamic

01:57:38.240 uh terrorists murdering nigerian christians the link between that and the middle east because

01:57:46.480 there is a very very direct link and it's not something that most people would would automatically

01:57:55.280 think about not a link that most people would make but there is a direct connection between

01:58:05.300 the Muslim expansion in Nigeria and the Islamic Republic occupying Iran. Again,

01:58:16.380 Iran is the country where I am from. And to put, you know, I don't want to put the cart before the

01:58:23.500 horse, but also for those of you who might not believe me, those of you who might think that

01:58:29.980 Goldie has no idea what she is talking about. Here you go. Here is a photo. This was taken

01:58:38.000 a few years ago. I'm not exactly sure when. I think it was maybe early 2020s. Here's a photo

01:58:45.060 of a Nigerian child. Okay. Well, several Nigerian children, actually, waving the flag of the Islamic

01:58:54.560 republic occupying iran and of course they're stepping on israel because that's what you know 0.55

01:59:00.360 islamists and jihadis and terrorists do guys i'm so sorry the audio quality is terrible this is 0.62

01:59:06.920 back when i was on like my my no the audio is choppy for everyone it's not you guys guys this 0.95

01:59:12.860 is like og goldie this is like og goldie before i had my fancy microphone before i had my fancy

01:59:21.140 webcam like this is just me literally doing live streams from like my laptop so yeah this is like

01:59:28.900 this is like og goldie like it's just like you know for like low quality so i apologize i apologize 0.64

01:59:38.020 and then you can see behind this child i'm gonna zoom in behind this child this other nigerian

01:59:47.620 child is holding a picture of Khamenei. Khamenei, as you may or may not know, is the current

01:59:55.380 supreme dictator of the... Well, he's dead now! Khamenei is dead! So guys, this was filmed back

02:00:02.000 in October, but now I can say Ayatollah Khamenei is dead, right? So, oh my gosh, if I had known,

02:00:12.440 if only I had known back in October, that on February 28, February 28, President Trump would

02:00:20.040 exterminate Khamenei. Oh, my gosh. But like, yeah, like when he was like, it's Islamic Republic,

02:00:27.400 that's, but this is the thing, like, look at this guy. So when, when, when you're watching,

02:00:32.560 so going back here, so really quickly, going back to the congressional hearing, right, the,

02:00:39.800 the, you know, Admiral Brad Cooper and everyone else testifying before the House committee,

02:00:47.160 right? And then this gentleman is talking about how the Islamic terrorists are expanding. 0.83

02:00:54.340 They're expanding in Africa, right? Here's the link. I was speaking about this, well, for years, 0.97

02:01:03.640 But, you know, I spoke about this back in October as well. And I'm literally pointing out in this, you know, live stream back in October, like six, seven months ago, that these Nigerian children are being indoctrinated by the Islamic regime.

02:01:21.680 Because why the hell? Why the hell are Nigerian children in Nigeria holding a picture of the supreme dictator of the Islamic regime that's occupying Iran? Like, that's insane. That's insane. But unless you actually show this picture to people, no one will believe you. No one's going to think that.

02:01:47.120 So a lot of the people who are listening to this gentleman speaking about Islamic expansionism and Islamic terrorism expansionism in Africa, they're probably like, what is this guy talking about? He's crazy. He's Islamophobic, right? 0.99

02:02:07.920 So the Democrats are probably like, oh, look, he's Islamophobic. 0.78

02:02:12.100 Meanwhile, meanwhile, the reality is that, yes, the Islamic regime is expanding in Africa, 0.83

02:02:20.620 and the Islamic regime is directly responsible for the instability in Africa and in countries like Nigeria. 0.97

02:02:28.700 And the proof is right there. 0.94

02:02:30.960 Why the hell are Nigerian children holding pictures of Khamenei and the flag of the Islamic regime? 0.99

02:02:38.440 Think about it. 0.73

02:02:39.360 So, you know, Americans, for example, imagine if like, you know, there's a school in America where the little children are, you know, holding the flag of communist Russia and they're holding pictures of Putin and they're stepping on the American flag in America.

02:02:58.800 is that normal is that normal like why would american children like why would theoretically

02:03:06.380 theoretically why would american children be holding the photo of vladimir putin and waving

02:03:12.940 the russian flag in the american education system right that's weird that lets you know something

02:03:19.640 is up so same thing in africa why the heck are nigerian children waving the flag of the islamic

02:03:28.080 regime. By the way, that's the flag of my occupiers, right? Like that's the flag. That's

02:03:32.960 the flag of the Muslim Nazis that have been murdering us for the last 47 years. Why are 1.00

02:03:37.860 they waving the flag of the Islamic regime and holding pictures of Khamenei, right? And

02:03:43.280 on top of that, they're stepping on the flag of Israel. So yeah, this Islamic expansionism 1.00

02:03:49.540 in Africa, no joke. It's no joke. It's a serious thing. They have been doing this for a very 1.00

02:03:55.400 long time and the nigerian genocide the nigerian genocide is being funded by the islamic regime 0.78

02:04:02.360 and the muslim brotherhood and attar as well all right let's continue i'm sorry i apologize for the

02:04:08.900 bad audio quality you're just gonna have to deal with it because this is like this is like a og

02:04:15.840 goldie behind iran the flag you see behind me guys this is before i was like a big youtube channel

02:04:23.340 So yeah, started from the bottom. And guys, you know what, this also shows and demonstrates to everyone out there, if you want to start a YouTube channel, you don't actually need fancy equipment to get started. If you have a laptop, and you know, a, you know, webcam or whatever, just get started, because that's what I did. That's how I got started. It was literally just my laptop and a webcam.

02:04:48.900 I didn't have a fancy background. I didn't have a microphone. I didn't have like a fancy camera

02:04:55.700 or nothing like that. You know, if you're passionate and you have a message and you

02:05:01.440 want to put it out there, just do it. Just do it. And eventually you'll get to where

02:05:07.360 you want to be, but you have to start from somewhere. And if I can do it, so can you.

02:05:13.600 And the key is passion, right? Be passionate, be real, be genuine. There you go. All right. Let's

02:05:23.020 continue with this. That's the real flag of Iran, the lion and sun flag. Flag you tater of the 0.70

02:05:29.860 Islamic Republic that's occupying Iran. The flag you see behind me, that's the real flag of Iran, 0.92

02:05:36.780 the lion and sun flag the flag that this nigerian child is holding that's the flag of the terrorist 1.00

02:05:45.420 islamic republic which is occupying my country and through their terrorist proxy forces have 0.95

02:05:53.500 colonized and occupied other countries as well including yemen lebanon um they have forces in 0.63

02:06:00.780 in Iraq, they have forces in Gaza, and their proxy groups extend as far as Nigeria. Because

02:06:10.520 you guys have to remember, there is literally no reason for a child in Nigeria to be waving 0.76

02:06:18.440 the flag of the Islamic Republic. Again, the Islamic Republic is the most brutal, brutal 0.99

02:06:25.380 islamo-fascist dictatorship um well it's the most brutal dictatorship in the world i would say 0.90

02:06:31.860 and of course they have this islamo-fascist jihadi ideology so to everyone who was doubting

02:06:39.380 as to whether or not there is a link between the nigerian genocide happening right now where 0.98

02:06:45.140 nigerian muslims are murdering christians versus islamic terrorism in the middle east 0.66

02:06:50.580 there you go and i will walk you through everything starting from the beginning until we get to this 1.00

02:07:00.000 point here because again it makes absolutely no sense for nigerian children to be holding 0.89

02:07:07.600 pictures of the supreme dictator of the islamic republic by the way this guy murders iranians 0.57

02:07:13.020 right this guy has the blood of um millions of iranians on his hands right why are nigerian 0.69

02:07:19.740 children holding his picture. So there is a direct link between the Middle East and the Nigerian 0.93

02:07:28.740 genocide of Christians right now. So there you go. There's a sneak peek of where we are going

02:07:34.000 to end up. But I want to take you back to the beginning. I want to take you back. I want to

02:07:39.800 show you a few other images as well, because some of you might say, well, you know, Goldie,

02:07:45.500 what's your source for this? You know, this is something that you tweeted yourself. So

02:07:49.080 um here you go here is a media outlet a news media outlet showing nigerian muslims in occupied

02:07:58.580 iran so these are these are like muslim jihadi fanatics who were brought to um occupied iran

02:08:07.620 by the islamic republic to participate in the al-qudsday rally okay what is al-qudsday al-qudsday

02:08:15.820 is a anyways i'm gonna i'm gonna go forward a little bit but um so yeah here's like the footage

02:08:21.820 of like african jihadis uh imported to uh the islamic regime right so i know we showed footage

02:08:29.260 earlier today of like what's happening today this has been going on for a long time itself so

02:08:38.540 you know like here here they are i mean the last time i checked by the way the last time i checked

02:08:43.500 this is not like cultural dress, right? Like this is, this is anyways. Um, so there you go. So if

02:08:49.720 you guys want to learn more about the Nigerian genocide, oh, this is a good part. Okay. Let me 0.98

02:08:55.120 just share this part really quickly. This part's important. Um, for those of you who are not

02:09:00.440 necessarily familiar with, um, Nigeria and, and where it is. So here is Nigeria. Okay. Here's

02:09:09.040 Nigeria and the map of Africa. So you can see this is Nigeria over here. The Middle East is here,

02:09:15.160 okay, and occupied Iran is right there. So there's, you know, a significant, significant distance 0.94

02:09:23.040 between the Islamic Republic, which is occupying Iran, and of course, Nigeria, which is here. 0.92

02:09:30.280 Here's where things get interesting. Okay. So as you can see, this is a map of areas under Muslim 0.88

02:09:38.800 rule at one point or another in history so this is iran right now because iran is currently um

02:09:46.080 governed by the islamic republic controlled by the islamic republic under i should say

02:09:50.720 it's under occupation by the islamic republic here is nigeria the northern half of nigeria

02:09:58.640 is under islamic rule this right here right and then so you know at some point you know spain was

02:10:05.840 under islamic rule as well and then the spaniards you know fought back and they reclaimed spain but

02:10:11.040 this is showing a map of um current and and former so spain is no longer the you know it's not current

02:10:18.800 but it was at some point but this is the this is the islamic colonial expansionism right so what

02:10:26.960 i'm trying to get at is that what and keep keep this map in mind okay so what i'm trying to get

02:10:32.480 at here is this border this boundary in nigeria that is dividing um you know it's a dividing line

02:10:41.680 between islamic colonialism that relates directly to the current demographic in nigeria so again

02:10:50.880 remember that that line um islamic colonization line look at look at the divide the religious

02:11:00.320 divide in nigeria the northern part is islam majority islam the southern part is majority

02:11:08.320 christianity this aligns directly with that map okay where's that map again so so this here aligns

02:11:18.320 directly with the map of islamic colonization right so what i'm trying to get at is that what

02:11:27.600 you are currently seeing in Nigeria, okay, that is how Islam has expanded for the last 1400 years.

02:11:40.220 Okay, so what's happening in Nigeria is nothing new. This is what happens. This is how Islam 0.94

02:11:47.920 has expanded for the last 1400 years. And unfortunately, the Nigerians are, you know, 1.00

02:11:56.400 some of the most recent victims of this. And this is why the Christians are being massacred. 0.83

02:12:05.760 And there are many, many Islamist outlets who were speaking about the fake genocide in Gaza,

02:12:17.360 but who are now denying the very real genocide in Nigeria because it doesn't fit their narrative,

02:12:25.040 right because they only want people to know about uh you know anti-west imperialism or whatever

02:12:32.640 nonsense but they never talk about islamic imperialism they never talk about islamic

02:12:38.400 colonization because what's happening in nigeria does not fit their narrative so i want to play

02:12:47.200 a video I want to share it um because okay so that's that's pretty much it I mean if you guys

02:12:55.340 want to watch the whole thing it's actually a very like you know I did a pretty good job I did

02:13:01.140 a pretty good job I do my research I know my stuff guys so you know even even back then when it was

02:13:08.020 just you know now baby Goldie with her baby channel and just like her laptop webcam I think

02:13:15.260 still did a pretty good job. So it's actually really informative. And I would recommend everyone

02:13:20.200 to go and watch this video. It's only two hours long. It's my live stream from October 20th. So

02:13:29.540 you can go and look it up. But yeah, it's really interesting. So the link, I mean, yeah, sure. I

02:13:37.700 can share the link. Sure. I'll, I'll let me put the link, um, in all my channels and, uh, you

02:13:46.000 know, you guys can go and watch it afterwards. Yeah, no problem. Happy to share the link with

02:13:51.740 you guys. Um, listen guys, I have a lot of really, really good live streams. Like you need to go

02:14:00.700 watch them. I know like they're, they're not like fancy. It's not like super fancy technological

02:14:07.320 wise but you know and you know maybe the script isn't super polished but I give pretty good info

02:14:16.140 and every everything that I say has always come to light so all that to say right so me here back

02:14:27.940 in October, I'm explaining about the instability in Africa, which is due to Islamic terrorism,

02:14:38.600 right? So now, this literally links directly back to this gentleman who's talking about

02:14:47.900 the instability in Africa due to Islamic terrorism, right? Remember? Goldie? Goldie 0.91

02:14:55.800 is always right. Boom. All right, let's continue. Oh my gosh, we're only like 16 minutes in. This

02:15:02.160 is so funny. And prosperity in the United States. Our posture in the U.S. CENTCOM and U.S. AFRICOM

02:15:07.560 AORs is a coherent and integrated execution of our national defense strategy.

02:15:18.140 What happened?

02:15:19.100 wait what happened wait let me bring up my screen sorry guys

02:15:28.020 i am not sure what happened there all right let me go back a little bit

02:15:34.700 okay the united states our posture in the u.s centcom and u.s africom

02:15:41.640 aors is a coherent and integrated execution of our national defense strategy it is an america

02:15:48.520 first policy that advances peace through strength under the direction of president trump the

02:15:53.800 department has demonstrated our commitment and capability to defend the homeland and secure

02:15:59.160 american priorities abroad while encouraging our allies and partners to increasingly shoulder

02:16:04.600 responsibility on mutual security interests the department is confident in the strategy in our

02:16:11.000 exceptional service members and in our ability to defend the united states thank you and i look

02:16:16.840 forward to your questions thank you mr zimmerman animal cooper you're recognized

02:16:22.600 well good morning chairman rogers ranking member smith members of the committee thank you for the

02:16:26.840 opportunity to testify before you today and thanks especially to the committee for your steadfast

02:16:32.280 support to the u.s military and u.s central command i'm pleased to join today with commander

02:16:36.600 of u.s africa command my good friend general dag anderson and assistant secretary dan zimmerman

02:16:42.200 I'm grateful to be accompanied by my wife Susan representing the families of the more than 50,000

02:16:48.040 service members deployed in the Middle East. I'm also pleased to be joined by Fleet Command

02:16:52.360 Master Chief Lateef Compton, the senior enlisted leader of CENTCOM. Recent events in the central

02:16:58.040 region show how quickly the course of history can change. Decades-old features of the strategic

02:17:04.120 landscape believed immutable have been upended, bringing both challenges and opportunities.

02:17:10.160 I strongly believe that every success that we have starts and ends with our people.

02:17:15.020 In just the last seven months, America's sons and daughters serving in CENTCOM

02:17:18.520 have played key roles in implementing the president's 20-point peace plan for Gaza,

02:17:23.340 degrading the ISIS threat in Syria,

02:17:25.620 preventing an ISIS crisis by conducting a historic transfer

02:17:28.620 of over 5,700 ISIS prisoners from Syria to Iraq,

02:17:33.760 creating the most integrated and effective regional air defense architecture ever seen,

02:17:38.060 which was decades in the making,

02:17:39.400 and most recently addressing the rapidly accelerating Iranian threat.

02:17:44.000 U.S. Central Command was created in direct response to the threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran,

02:17:50.200 and I'm the 16th CENTCOM commander to deal with the Iranian problem set. 0.60

02:17:54.860 For 47 years, the Iranian regime terrorized the region and made hostility to the United States a core tenet of its rule. 0.98

02:18:02.720 The regime is an even more deadly threat to its own people, 0.98

02:18:06.480 killing tens of thousands of innocent Iranians

02:18:09.000 during protests in January

02:18:10.200 with public executions ongoing.

02:18:14.700 Oh my gosh.

02:18:18.440 The fact that Admiral Brad Cooper

02:18:21.600 acknowledged this fact

02:18:25.520 in his opening statement.

02:18:29.960 Guys, this is huge.

02:18:33.760 Oh my gosh.

02:18:36.480 hostility to the united states a court like you don't you don't understand you guys you don't

02:18:42.620 understand like for 47 years we iranians like we have been fighting tooth and nail to get the world

02:18:51.800 to acknowledge that we're under occupation and that we are um under you know pressure and we're

02:19:00.580 being murdered and threatened and you know raped and tortured and you know you know what's messed up

02:19:07.540 those of us who live outside of occupied iran we're not free so so so just because we live

02:19:17.840 outside of iran and just because we don't live daily under the you know under the daily brutality

02:19:25.700 of the Islamic regime, that doesn't actually mean we're free. Because they still, they monitor us, 0.91

02:19:32.780 they watch us, they threaten our family members. Guys, don't forget, I still have a bounty on my

02:19:38.840 head. I still have a $250,000 bounty on my head, just because I speak out against the Islamic 1.00

02:19:49.740 regime. And the FBI used the threatening email that I received from the Islamic regime, the 0.99

02:19:58.180 bounty that they put on my head. The FBI actually used that email as part of their affidavit in

02:20:07.480 order to shut down for internet websites that are connected to the Islamic regime.

02:20:14.020 so you know any anyone who thinks that those of us who live outside of occupied iran are free

02:20:21.480 we're not we're not free because they monitor us they follow us they threaten us they murder us

02:20:28.860 they've murdered guys they murdered bapish man you guys all know bapish man 0.70

02:20:34.940 they murdered him they murdered him in europe he was in europe he was an artist he was a musician

02:20:42.940 He was making songs. He was singing about Iran. He was singing about how Iran should be free. And the Islamic regime, the Muslim Nazis murdered him, assassinated him, because they were threatened by his voice.

02:20:59.640 so yeah like so so guys like when when when we hear someone like admiral brad cooper just 0.92

02:21:10.180 just come out and acknowledge acknowledge the horrific reality of iranians he acknowledges 0.76

02:21:18.080 that the fact that the islamic regime is murdering us like this is huge because 1.00

02:21:22.460 we've never had this guys we've never had this whenever we try to speak out about the islamic 0.97

02:21:29.000 regime we're accused of islamophobia we're accused of you know like we're villainized we're villainized

02:21:35.260 so you know god bless admiral brad cooper thank you thank you so much for for acknowledging the 0.74

02:21:44.200 horrific reality of iranians because we don't get that guys fifa fifa garbage fifa is silencing our 0.56

02:21:51.840 voices even even fifa fifa is standing on the side of islamic terrorism right like that's how insane

02:22:00.800 it is so you guys have no idea how appreciative we iranians actually are like because just just

02:22:11.740 someone acknowledging the pain and suffering that we've gone through that's huge because

02:22:19.100 we've had to fight tooth and nail just to like convince people that we're occupied so this is

02:22:26.040 huge oh man admiral brad cooper he's a real one heart of gold heart of gold right there

02:22:34.340 tenant of its rule the regime is an even more deadly threat to its own people

02:22:39.800 killing tens of thousands of innocent iranians during protests in january with public executions

02:22:45.360 ongoing. Iran has long had three pillars of intimidation and coercion. Their nuclear program,

02:22:53.740 their ballistic missiles and drones, and their proxies, especially Hezbollah, Hamas,

02:22:58.580 and the Houthis. Let's look at each of these. First, all signs pointed to Iran's intent to

02:23:04.400 create a nuclear weapon capability. And then to protect their nuclear program, Iran built 0.90

02:23:09.180 thousands of ballistic missiles and drones, and they did it for two reasons. To create a shield, 0.84

02:23:14.540 to make their nuclear site untouchable

02:23:16.600 and to create an offensive capability so large

02:23:20.320 that regional partners couldn't possibly defend against it. 0.73

02:23:24.900 Along the way, their proxies did Iran's dirty work across the region. 0.95

02:23:28.900 Prior to the start of Epic Fury,

02:23:30.680 Iranian-supported terror groups attacked U.S. troops and diplomats

02:23:34.320 more than 350 times in the previous two and a half years,

02:23:38.880 killing four U.S. service members and wounding nearly 200 others.

02:23:42.580 That's crazy. 0.63

02:23:43.820 So, so to all those people who are like Iran, well, I mean, the Islamic regime, but they say Iran, but they're like the Islamic regime doesn't pose a threat to America.

02:23:55.080 Admiral Brad Cooper just literally confirmed. He just confirmed in the last 30 months, the Islamic regime and their proxies have been attacking Americans an average of once every three days, and they murdered four. 0.55

02:24:11.660 the islamic regime the muslim nazis murdered four americans and injured 200 others 0.92

02:24:17.560 what's going on what's going on and yet and yet the democrats are like oh the islamic regime 0.99

02:24:24.080 doesn't pose a threat to us wow traitors traitors like you guys need to like kick like i don't know 0.98

02:24:32.360 if they're citizens or not but like take their citizenship away deport them back to some like 0.99

02:24:37.680 third world garbage country right because these people are it's literally like the threat within 0.98

02:24:44.000 it's like an internal domestic terrorism threat to directly counter this accelerating iranian 0.97

02:24:51.920 strategy that we all saw the u.s military was directed by the president to execute two

02:24:57.040 significant operations and here are the results first operation midnight hammer significantly

02:25:02.880 degraded Iran's nuclear program. And second, Operation Epic Fury significantly degraded Iran's

02:25:08.540 ballistic missiles and drones while destroying 90 percent of their defense industrial base, 0.57

02:25:13.680 ensuring that Iran cannot reconstitute for years. And then finally, Iran spent decades and billions 0.85

02:25:20.120 of dollars arming proxies. Today, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis are cut off from Iran's weapons

02:25:26.900 supply and support. Said a different way, American military action derailed Iran's

02:25:33.940 strategy that was 47 years in the making. So where are we now? The ceasefire continues,

02:25:39.940 and consistent with the President's direction, we've established a highly effective maritime

02:25:43.540 blockade of Iran. To date, we've turned away 88 ships. There has been zero trade into Iranian

02:25:50.420 ports and zero trade out of Iranian ports, squeezing Iran economically and creating

02:25:55.620 powerful leverage for the ongoing negotiations. Of course, these results were not without cost.

02:26:01.280 We honor the memories of the 14 service members who made the ultimate sacrifice during Operation

02:26:06.420 Epic Fury and two soldiers and a civilian killed in Palmyra, Syria. They represent the very best

02:26:11.900 among all of us. But before I close, I want to make clear we are committed to the law of armed

02:26:17.360 conflict. The United States does not target civilians. We take all civilian casualty reports

02:26:23.340 seriously. This is now part of our culture, and I invite each and every one of you, as well as all

02:26:29.060 of your staffs, to visit Tampa and see our targeting process for yourselves. As I sit here, we're

02:26:34.920 clear-eyed. The situation in front of us is complex. High-stakes negotiations continue. Our job is to

02:26:41.700 be ready, and we are. I testify today on behalf of the brave servicemen and women deployed to the

02:26:47.620 Central Region. It's a great life honor and privilege to serve as our commander, and thank

02:26:52.180 and i look forward to your questions thank you admiral general you're recognized wow that that

02:27:00.580 was amazing oh my gosh admiral brad cooper he's an og um okay let's go to some of the super chats

02:27:07.300 and then i'll continue savor coaching your boss shot off oh thank you okay for those who don't

02:27:13.140 know bush means um honorable in persian oh thank you that's really kind of you to say

02:27:18.340 The Truth Rebellion underscore King Joshua. Goldie, you are too great for that lioness.

02:27:25.480 Aw, thank you, Joshua. Truth Rebellion is referring to the politicians and the party

02:27:31.220 that kicked me out for speaking out about Iran. Thank you. I appreciate that. Very kind of you.

02:27:38.800 And you'll be back once treason is purged from Canada. Yeah, I honestly, like, unless Canada

02:27:45.960 takes like a sharp turn, I kind of like, I'm starting to lose hope in Canada. Like Canada's

02:27:51.840 become a very scary place. I'm not going to lie. Canada is reminding me more and more of like Iran

02:27:58.820 in the 1960s, right? Iran in the 1960s. And then the 1960s weren't so bad, but it was kind of weird

02:28:07.840 and uncomfortable. And then two decades later, it became an Islamic hellhole. So I don't know, 1.00

02:28:15.220 canada's going down a very dark path and it doesn't look it doesn't look like a friendly

02:28:19.380 place anymore christian evan christiansen hi from norway you good yes i'm great thank you for asking

02:28:28.340 has exchanged the contacts of local iranian group with the national iranian group to get local

02:28:36.260 protests published in Persian newspapers in Norway, also PM down to 34% in polls. Well,

02:28:45.600 thank you for doing that. Thank you for connecting the local Iranians with the bigger group. And I

02:28:52.760 have a feeling that the support for the prime minister is down because of, you know, it could

02:29:00.820 have something to do with the recent trip of the foreign affairs minister um to you know the 0.93

02:29:07.420 islamic regime um so not good like norwegians norwegians get your act together and don't vote 0.70

02:29:38.940 by the way, Norway is a very beautiful country. I actually had the opportunity to visit Norway

02:29:46.640 with my family a couple years ago. And it was amazing. And let me tell you, Norwegian people

02:36:58.360 Where is it?

02:36:59.500 Yeah, Norway is awesome.

02:37:00.720 Guys, everyone needs to go to Norway at least once in their lifetime.

02:37:05.980 And check out the Norwegian fjords.

02:37:08.060 It's utterly breathtaking.

02:37:16.200 oh wait this is the viking village oh the viking village was fun too where we basically saw

02:37:26.680 a whole bunch of vikings it was like an old school viking village thing

02:38:12.460 Oh, wait, it's not on the screen. That's awkward. Here we go. Here we go.

02:38:20.960 Do you just see? So when I say that like everyone in Norway is tall and I'm short, I'm not exaggerating.

02:38:30.620 That's me. That's like the average size of like, that's the average height of a Norwegian.

02:38:36.980 so yeah like like literally everyone in norway like you want to see vikings just go to norway

02:38:43.900 everyone's a viking but they're super nice everyone is super nice and super friendly

02:38:48.440 so there you go here here's me trying to throw an axe at like like a norwegian village 0.51

02:38:53.720 this was like before we went on the the fjord cruise or something

02:38:57.600 and i just embarrassed myself yeah

02:39:03.780 and they're like very good i'm like oh thank you

02:39:09.520 there you go so you know what maybe maybe i do have some viking blood in me after all

02:39:24.100 Maybe I do have some Viking blood in me after all, because I was able to, you know, get the axe thing on the second time.

02:39:32.280 So there you go for Valhalla or something.

02:39:35.820 But where's the video?

02:39:37.160 I made a very cool video of like the Norwegian fjords.

02:39:42.680 And is it this one?

02:39:47.680 Wait, let me see.

02:39:49.220 That's not that one.

02:39:51.320 Let me find it because it was super cool.

02:39:53.900 And I even posted it on my Instagram, too.

02:39:57.880 Oh, and then me and my sister were like, you know, we grabbed some weapons and like we were like sword fighting at the Viking village.

02:40:06.340 We did like bow and arrow.

02:40:12.180 Anyways, where's the video?

02:40:15.240 I can't find it now.

02:40:16.080 But anyways, Norwegian fjords, you definitely, definitely want to check it out because Norway is phenomenal.

02:40:25.500 And okay, so here's, you know, here's like just the final image I want to share from Norway because like, like the beauty and the nature.

02:40:38.320 I don't even, oh, we were, so, so the Viking village was called Gundvangen.

02:40:44.640 Does that does that ring a bell?

02:40:46.180 Gundvangen?

02:40:47.320 We were in Gundvangen.

02:40:50.280 This is this is where we were.

02:40:52.780 We were in Gundvangen, whatever that means.

02:40:57.100 But yeah, so the Norwegian fjords, just beautiful mountains, water and everything.

02:41:03.200 So, yeah, all that to say we love Norway.

02:41:07.440 We love the Norwegian people.

02:41:09.220 you guys are amazing phenomenal vikings are the coolest but the current norwegian government not 0.99

02:41:18.360 so much get rid of them get rid of them like just reclaim your viking identity like for valhalla 0.99

02:41:23.720 right like just just go pure viking and just viking viking your country right norway should 1.00

02:41:34.060 be for Norwegians the same way that England should be for English the same way that, you know, Iran 0.58

02:41:41.740 should be for Iranians. How tall am I? I'm 5'2". You should ask how short I am, because that's 0.59

02:41:49.760 probably a more accurate description. All right, let's continue with the next opening speech. And

02:41:55.880 then after that, we're going to call it a night. And we'll have to go to part two of this, this

02:42:01.880 commentary because I do add a lot of commentary because I'm a big political nerd. All right. We

02:42:08.720 were going to go to the rest of the super chats as well. So Sharon Hatt says he was R.I. Senator

02:42:14.660 Jack Reed, West Point graduate. Oh, okay. Thank you. Adam, God has his plans. I'm glad you're

02:42:23.800 here. Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah. I mean, you know, everything happens for a reason. And

02:42:29.380 yeah, you know, when I was kicked out of my party, I was actually, I actually wasn't upset. If

02:42:35.100 anything, I was proud. I was like, Oh, wow, look, like, my advocacy and speaking out for the

02:42:41.160 oppressed Iranian people has scared the Muslim Nazis so much that they literally viewed me as

02:42:47.940 a threat. So that let me know that I was like, on the right path. And if anything, by trying to 0.96

02:42:55.380 silenced my voice they actually freed me because you know as a politician there's only so much that

02:43:02.540 I could do or say but now that I'm no longer an elected official guys like can I let me tell you

02:43:09.220 something do you understand how freeing it is to be able to just speak openly and frankly and not

02:43:19.080 have to worry about votes or the electorate or whatever. Like I can literally say whatever I

02:43:25.180 want to say in public. And I don't have to worry about what anyone thinks, right? And for literally

02:43:34.080 for 10 years of my life, for 10 years of my life, I could not say yes or no, without like, you know,

02:43:43.220 speaking to the party first and asking permission on whether or not I can say something or opine on

02:43:50.480 something, right? So it is so incredibly freeing now to just be able to speak and just speak the

02:43:58.640 truth and not have to ask permission of anyone to speak my truth. So yeah, I'm very glad I'm here as

02:44:07.820 well. Because, you know, after 10 years of being silenced, I had enough. I had enough. Yeah.

02:44:15.820 Oracle of Hecate. Oh, yeah. Hecate. That's a Greek goddess. May we all be free from the threat

02:44:28.540 of the... Greek or Roman? One of those. May we all be free from the threat of the memory of a 1.00

02:44:34.440 seventh century warlord. Islam deserves to be swept under the rug of history. I hope to see 1.00

02:44:40.600 Iran become the center of fashion once again. Thank you. I mean, my focus is on political

02:44:46.400 Islam and jihad. Like I, you know, whatever people, you know, whatever religion they want 1.00

02:44:51.720 to practice in private, like I have no issues with that. My focus is mainly on jihad and political

02:44:57.620 Islam. So yeah, like I think, I think, you know, political Islam should definitely be swept under 1.00

02:45:03.920 the rug um but you know muslims who are sort of like reform muslims um i have no issues and in 0.83

02:45:10.860 fact there are a lot of you know iranians they're not the majority but there are you know there are

02:45:17.440 still muslim iranians who are actually against the islamic regime as well because they're more

02:45:22.860 like kind of secular muslims right so but i do appreciate what you're saying and i understand

02:45:28.540 what you're saying and thank you for the support uh oracle uh pekati as a real life historian i've

02:45:36.620 always prayed that i will be able to visit iran one day the recent days have given me hope long

02:45:42.720 live the persians thank you you know um you will you will love it like every single stone and road

02:45:51.140 and bridge and house and monument in iran it's like it's it's everything is historical it's such

02:45:58.480 an ancient land and it's very very cool so as a historian you'll have a lot of fun there like you

02:46:04.680 could spend years there and you won't be able to explore the entire thing Sergio says hey Goldie 0.88

02:46:11.460 your analysis is gold what will happen to the foreign regime supporters like the Africans and 0.97

02:46:17.240 Afghans once the boom booms start hunted uh yeah I mean if if they're in the way I guess they'll be 1.00

02:46:24.700 in the way, if they're not in the way, I suppose they'll try to escape and leave the country 1.00

02:46:33.400 before the Iranians get a hold of them. And if they know what's good for them, they'll leave 1.00

02:46:39.760 before the Iranians get their hands on them. Tom for life. IRGC introduced explosively formed 1.00

02:46:47.100 penetrators, EFPs in Iraq against U.S. soldiers. In 2007 to 2010, they were nasty, 100%.

02:46:54.720 They also introduced IEDs. And that was all done by Qasem Soleimani. And by the way,

02:47:01.380 President Trump boom-boomed Qasem Soleimani back in 2006. So there you go. Thank you,

02:47:09.640 President Trump, for that. So Qasem Soleimani was not only responsible for the murder of

02:47:16.200 thousands of American personnel, but he was also responsible for the murder of tens of thousands 0.56

02:47:24.620 of innocent Iranians. And in fact, when President Trump boom-boomed Qasem Soleimani back in January 0.81

02:47:30.720 of 2020, Iranians went out into the streets and they were celebrating and they were, you know, 0.91

02:47:36.300 thanking President Trump and they were calling for the overthrow of the Islamic regime.

02:47:41.040 and you know things were getting really heated and then guess what happened the coronavirus

02:47:46.720 happened the coronavirus happened and all of a sudden the protests in 2020 died down so very

02:47:54.820 interesting timing if you ask me and the coronavirus is also known as the China virus so

02:48:01.580 I don't know I'm not a conspiracy theorist but that seems a little bit like too much of a coincidence

02:48:09.100 right? If you know what I mean. Tinley says, I think you mean the Varangians, you should look

02:48:15.640 them up with Iran. Okay. Yeah, I will look that up. But I heard about a story where like the 1.00

02:48:22.440 ancient Iranians gave like steel swords to the Vikings. And then the reason that the Vikings

02:48:29.860 had amazing steel, like swords made of steel is because they bought them from the Iranians. But 1.00

02:48:36.200 I'll definitely look into that. All right. Okay. So we're done all the super chats. Let's go back

02:48:41.140 to the live stream, like the show. And we're going to finish the opening statements. And then

02:48:50.240 we're going to call it a night. We're definitely going to have to have a part two, because I talk

02:48:55.200 way too much during these things. Because as a former politician, I just have way too much to

02:49:01.940 say and i apologize for that guys but we'll continue now chairman rogers ranking member

02:49:08.220 smith members of the committee thank you for the opportunity to provide you an update on u.s africa

02:49:12.520 command i'm joined today by command sergeant major garrick banfield africom senior enlisted leader

02:49:17.760 and it's an honor for me to be here today with my friend and colleague admiral cooper and admiral

02:49:22.720 dan zimmerman we all appreciate your unwavering support to our nation's warfighters before i

02:49:29.080 start i'd like to recognize the service of first lieutenant kendrick lamont key jr and specialist

02:49:34.040 mariah allington who lost their lives in a tragic accident during african lion i would also like to

02:49:39.320 thank our allies and partners particularly morocco who stepped forward when it mattered most

02:49:45.960 today the epicenter of global terrorism is in africa isis leadership is african al qaeda's

02:49:53.080 economic engine is in africa both groups share the will and intent to strike our homeland

02:50:00.280 as the president reported this past friday africom in close coordination with our nigerian 0.90

02:50:05.160 partners dealt a significant blow to isis global terror i don't want to interrupt but go go look at 0.64

02:50:12.200 go look at that video about nigeria and the nigerian genocide africa is controlled by the 0.55

02:50:18.920 islamic regime it's all connected all right let's continue network our successful mission 0.86

02:50:25.080 eliminated several key isis leaders to include abu bilal al-manuki the most active and impactful 0.94

02:50:31.560 terrorist in the world he was the isis financial and organizational mastermind plotting attacks

02:50:37.160 against the united states and our interests manuki's death disrupts isis operations around

02:50:42.760 the world but only sustained pressure and multi-dimensional approach with the support

02:50:47.000 of partners united by mutual security interests can address this complex problem as this recent

02:50:54.440 operation demonstrates africom is prioritizing willing and capable partners we support partners

02:50:59.960 with unique capabilities that only the u.s can provide such as isr targeting and precision strike

02:51:06.200 this approach has taken isis leaders off the battlefield in nigeria and driven their leadership

02:51:10.680 in somalia underground putting pressure on the broader isis network in west africa

02:51:17.000 Al-Qaeda affiliate Jainim has demonstrated increased capacity to control key terrain in the Sahel,

02:51:21.940 most notably by strangling fuel supplies around population centers.

02:51:25.740 The capture of a capital city would provide Al-Qaeda with all the trappings of a nation state to sponsor global terrorism.

02:51:32.740 With a 75% reduction in our regional posture over the past decade,

02:51:36.700 compounded by the drawdown of our allies, we struggle with an intelligence black hole.

02:51:41.500 Without sufficient indicators and warnings, we risk being blind to the gathering dangers and threats of the region.

02:51:47.000 AFRICOM's lack of expeditionary capabilities and diminished force posture compromises our crisis response.

02:51:53.000 In a crisis, we can surge assets, but you cannot surge trust.

02:51:57.000 Our reduced presence on the continent also allows disruptive actors to drive the agenda and undercut American interests.

02:52:05.000 China views Africa as its second continent, securing control over critical minerals and infrastructure,

02:52:10.000 potentially boxing us out of the resources that energize our industrial base.

02:52:15.000 africa also serves as putin's purse where russia exploits instability look at that so not only 0.65

02:52:22.480 are china and russia uh exploiting iran through the islamic regime that's occupying iran

02:52:30.820 but china and russia are also exploiting africa right it's all connect guys it's all connected 0.53

02:52:39.500 ability to extract resources including human lives to fuel its war machine to contend with 0.52

02:52:47.080 these threats africom must think and operate differently with less than one tenth of one 1.00

02:52:51.300 percent of the department's budget we must maximize every taxpayer dollar to deliver an

02:52:55.200 outsized return on investment africom continues to leverage low-cost high-yield activities

02:53:01.040 to amplify our impact on the continent international military education and training

02:53:05.680 and the state partnership program are reliable force multipliers,

02:53:09.740 forging partnerships with African militaries and demonstrating cost-effective burden sharing.

02:53:14.980 The AFRICOM exercise program is emerging as a battle lab to test and validate new technologies

02:53:19.700 on behalf of both the joint force and our African partners.

02:53:23.740 Finally, Africa sits at the crossroads of global commerce and security,

02:53:28.180 bridging strategic terrain between the Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific.

02:53:30.920 It is the world supplier of critical minerals for advanced defense systems

02:53:34.660 and home to 12 of the 20 fastest-growing economies.

02:53:39.040 By 2050, it will account for a third of the global working-age population.

02:53:44.520 AFRICOM is increasingly focused on this critical convergence of economy and security and stability.

02:53:49.660 Our efforts span all elements of national power,

02:53:52.160 and we coordinate closely with state, commerce, energy, and treasury.

02:53:56.720 The Department's new Economic Defense Unit has been an invaluable partner.

02:53:59.860 To defend the homeland, promote U.S. interests, and ensure effective crisis response, AFRICOM needs targeted investments in layered, non-traditional ISR, innovative force protection, programs that enable willing and capable partners, the opportunity to expand experimentation, and the ability to respond to crisis at the time and point of need.

02:54:22.520 africa is a continent of opportunities not only crises with the continued support of this committee

02:54:28.400 i can assure you that every dollar you authorize for africom will contribute directly to the

02:54:32.520 security safety and prosperity of the united states thank you i look forward to your questions

02:54:38.640 uh thank you general thank all our witnesses uh for being here in that in those testimonies

02:54:44.720 that's very helpful to us i recognize myself for questions he recognizes himself for questions

02:54:51.580 it's kind of weird but it's also kind of nice like when I was committee chair I was never allowed to

02:54:57.020 ask questions I was only able to like get others like I could only recognize others to ask questions

02:55:03.640 so that's that's a cool difference between American politics and Canadian politics because

02:55:09.660 um when I was committee chair I could never ask questions and I had so many questions I wanted to

02:55:14.880 ask. Um, all right guys, so we're going to stop there. We're literally only 27 minutes into a

02:55:22.260 three hour congressional hearing. But, uh, like I said, a lot of commentary, a lot of info,

02:55:29.360 a lot of sort of background stuff that I talk about. So we're going to continue this tomorrow

02:55:36.460 night, same time, same place. It's going to be part two of the congressional hearing. Um,

02:55:42.800 but i have a feeling it's going to be pretty good so there you go uh let me go to the final super

02:55:49.040 chat here so uh viperis um says by conventional naming procedure for viruses it should have been

02:55:58.640 called the wuhan or china flu most strains of corona viruses or influences and it was until

02:56:06.560 trump started calling it the chinese flu at which point calling it that became racist of course

02:56:14.480 because everything that president trump does you know is automatically evil and bad and everyone

02:56:20.640 has to like fight against it right but yeah didn't president trump i think there was like a video

02:56:26.000 about it, right? Like, this was like a whole thing. Like, and then, and then, like, everyone

02:56:38.000 started attacking President Trump, because he was calling it the China virus. I'm like, well,

02:56:44.020 it's from China. Like, it's literally from China. Like, I mean, I don't know. Where was it?

02:56:52.300 Here we go.

02:56:59.380 I'm a retired lieutenant colonel in the United States Marine Corps.

02:57:02.320 And now I'm at the Walt Disney Company.

02:57:05.200 Disney honors veterans in everything that we do.

02:57:08.180 They value me because of my service.

02:57:11.040 This is my pride.

02:57:12.100 This is my passion.

02:57:15.200 They were buying nothing.

02:57:16.920 They buy $50 billion worth.

02:57:18.880 they had to but i don't even talk about it because of covid i don't even mention it

02:57:23.680 frankly because of what happened with the china virus 0.99

02:57:34.560 we will not let countries come in

02:57:40.320 but i don't even talk about it because of covid i don't even mention it frankly because of what

02:57:44.640 happened with the china virus the way he says it is so cute look the way he says it's so cute he's

02:57:53.840 like he's like he's like the china virus i don't even talk about it because of covid i don't even

02:58:00.640 mention it frankly because of what happened with the china virus that is a classic and

02:58:11.280 guys, I mean, he's not wrong. He's not wrong. Um, anyways, so yeah, president Trump calling it out

02:58:18.780 for what it is. And, uh, I bet he's accused of, you know, whatever, because of Trump derangement

02:58:27.720 syndrome. So anyways, um, thank you everyone for tuning in. I hope you enjoyed this evening's

02:58:36.560 live stream. Um, we'll see you tomorrow for Iran revolution live with all of the updates,

02:58:45.800 of course, uh, with Armin and myself. And I will see you guys tomorrow night for part two

02:58:54.540 of this congressional hearing, because again, as a former politician, this is like, like guys,

02:59:02.420 I nerd out. I nerd out over this stuff. I could watch this stuff for hours. It's just, I don't

02:59:08.800 know. For me, it's fascinating. I apologize. Actually, no, I don't apologize. I don't

02:59:15.940 apologize. It is what it is. I like my political nerd stuff and you guys just have to deal with

02:59:22.640 that. And yes, I like calling out the Democrats. And it's, you know what? It's also really

02:59:29.120 interesting for me to watch like these political, you know, hearings and, you know, congressional

02:59:34.680 whatever, because having been in their shoes and having been in that situation, it's really easy

02:59:41.660 for me to decode what's going on. Like, for example, for example, this guy's face right here.

02:59:48.500 So let me just share this really quickly because this is really funny. So like this guy here right

02:59:57.740 now. Um, I like, I have been watching this guy's expression for a while. This guy, he just

03:00:07.400 literally does not care. Like, I don't know who he is. This is not, this is not like a political

03:00:12.180 party thing. I don't know which party is whatever, but I have been watching his expression for the

03:00:18.600 last, you know, the entire time. And he's just sitting there like, what life choices did I make

03:00:25.760 that brought me to this position in life where, um, this guy who's younger than me is the chair

03:00:35.280 of the committee and me as an older politician, I am not. So just wanted to add a little bit of

03:00:42.980 commentary there as well. Um, okay. Kuda says off topic, but Goldie, do you know this song

03:00:52.760 from Ehsan Jakoni, Till the Devil is Gone. I will look into that 100%. Thank you so much for
