SHNEAKO - Inside Look at Iran： The Lone Journalist with Wi-Fi

00:00:00.000 Who's in charge of Iran right now?

00:00:02.020 As I understand it, Iran has strong institution or a system that is not dependent on one man.

00:00:09.440 So the U.S. and Israel believe that if they kill the supreme leader, the entire thing would collapse.

00:00:14.460 Well, they tested that theory. 0.68

00:00:15.960 They killed the supreme leader and many other people.

00:00:19.020 We don't know how many leaders, but supposedly the supreme leader wasn't alone.

00:00:22.500 He was with other people.

00:00:23.620 So they killed a lot of people.

00:00:24.940 It's like a major decapitation strike.

00:00:27.520 And what happened?

00:00:28.260 It's a month later, and it's as if it never happened.

00:00:31.360 One of the major differences since we last spoke is the fact that now that there's a $2 million toll to trade oil through the Strait of Hormuz,

00:00:38.880 which if people look at over the span of a year, you can make $100 billion.

00:00:42.940 Has that money been seen?

00:00:45.840 Is this something that's affecting the Iranian economy already?

00:00:48.620 I don't have any way to measure that or calculate that myself, but I can tell you that, like I said, the only inconvenience for Iranians right now is the Internet.

00:00:56.140 There's a lot of, you know, reports coming out that Saudi Arabia is urging the U.S. to destroy Iran.

00:01:01.580 How much of that is true? 0.95

00:01:03.240 I'm inclined to believe it's true just because we know that Saudi Arabia, they feel threatened by Iran and they have been threatened by them for a very long time now.

00:01:10.740 The U.S. have fighter jets flying to bomb Iran and they're getting refueled by aerial tankers over Saudi Arabian airspace.

00:01:17.400 What else can you tell us about since we last spoke?

00:01:20.540 What else is happening in Iran?

00:01:22.140 Some, you know, something you've seen that we're not aware of.

00:01:26.140 hello hello yeah so you are you're an esfahan which you know in there is prophecy saying that

00:01:37.560 in esfahan there will be 70 000 jews that come and support the jaw that's funny but i saw you're

00:01:44.500 just with the governor what's funny about that uh no i got nothing to say about that right now but

00:01:52.160 Yeah. Yeah. Keep going. Keep going. Well, let's stay up to date. I liked your coverage

00:01:56.380 of the holy sites that you're at. So you spoke with the governor and also you just heard a

00:02:04.180 bomb strike that was very nearby you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, most of Iran, there's like

00:02:13.880 nothing going on. Right. And I've tweeted about this. I posted videos about this. I'm sure you

00:02:17.720 saw the video of me in this famous square in Isfahan. It's like an ancient mosque. There's

00:02:23.020 like an old bazaar there. It's a really cool historical site. And everyone around there is

00:02:28.620 living their lives comfortably. There was an attack nearby. Nobody responded. Nobody was

00:02:32.860 afraid. I interviewed little kids and they're like cursing out Trump and they weren't phased

00:02:37.980 at all by the bombing. So for the most part, life in Iran is completely normal. But every now and

00:02:45.680 hear an explosion the explosion i heard last night which i tweeted about and this is the

00:02:49.920 explosion you're referencing that was the loudest and closest explosion to my location and i guess

00:02:56.740 it was probably a bigger bomb um because there are all kinds of bombs they can drop right 300

00:03:01.280 pounds 500 pounds 2 000 pound bombs this one was really loud like it woke us all up at two in the

00:03:09.320 morning and shook the entire building and uh yeah that that was the loudest uh most powerful

00:03:16.120 explosion i've experienced since being here but for the most part our life is completely normal

00:03:19.860 in iran right now okay so what can you tell us since we last spoke what are the

00:03:24.900 the major updates and how was that conversation with the governor

00:03:28.080 the conversation with the governor uh was good i mean he so he was giving us a tour of his

00:03:34.620 cultural sites which is really cool and he was explaining everything to us and that site that

00:03:40.120 historical site i was telling you about is amazing like they got stores selling incredible persian

00:03:47.340 carpets different fabrics i mean it's just a great place to get lost i felt like the prince of persia

00:03:53.160 or like assassin's creed just walking around there and so he was giving us a tour introducing us to

00:03:57.340 like local artists and stuff like that and then he took us to this nice cafe and when we were

00:04:01.980 sitting down there we started you know he was giving us his whole like spiel just describing

00:04:06.820 isfahan's history and its culture etc etc but then we started talking politics and

00:04:11.300 we asked him uh you know because a lot of people have been tweeting at me like hey why don't you

00:04:16.160 talk to why don't you talk to people who aren't in support of the government why do you just keep

00:04:21.240 interviewing people who who do support the government and so i i did i have spoken to

00:04:27.080 people who are not in support of the government but they're not willing to like publish an

00:04:31.500 interview and get on camera. And so that's been interesting for me. I asked them, like they all

00:04:38.480 say like they're against the war, but they are not happy with this government. And so I took

00:04:44.940 that opportunity to ask the governor about it. I said, hey, you know, I've spoken to some people

00:04:49.540 who are not supportive of the government. They have these complaints. What is your response to

00:04:53.580 that? And we recorded that. So we'll post that on X soon. But yeah, so it was just an interesting

00:04:58.700 conversation was an opportunity to kind of hear the good things about espahan from the governor

00:05:02.940 but then also pose some difficult questions for him as well and just get you know his raw feedback

00:05:07.580 so when can we expect this to come out so my colleague dimitri from reason to resist who's

00:05:15.260 also here with me he's a journalist he's a greek journalist who lives in canada he's going to be

00:05:20.220 posting that interview any second so when he does i'll tweet it out and i'll send you the link as

00:05:25.900 well and you can see that interview discussion you asked for new information so actually there

00:05:30.300 was an attack a couple of hours ago and we were gonna go see it but it's raining and it's pretty

00:05:37.820 late already we have a long day tomorrow so we're gonna go visit it tomorrow but it's like a village

00:05:42.700 or a small town about an hour away from us there was a series of explosions there so some people

00:05:50.940 took pictures and they sent it to us apparently the u.s is now dropping landmines on these iranian

00:05:57.500 towns so there's a landmine it's called the m70 and you can lay it by hand or they have something

00:06:03.660 like it's called a like a remote uh anti-armor mine system so you can drop it from an airplane

00:06:11.660 you can fire it in an artillery shell and it'll open up and scatter them all around the area

00:06:16.220 which is much more efficient than like one by one dropping it by hand right so apparently they're

00:06:20.700 dropping this over villages from fighter jets and that is interesting because either they're just

00:06:28.900 trying to terrorize the population because these are random right they just fall and they scatter

00:06:32.800 they're called dumb bombs so they're smart enough to like detonate if they detect electromagnetic

00:06:37.720 pulse or something like that if it detects like an armored vehicle nearby it'll blow up 0.98

00:06:42.080 it's smart enough to do that but it's dumb to the extent that it's not precise so they just 0.77

00:06:46.200 dropped over random people's houses so there was one woman cooking the kitchen and this 0.91

00:06:50.260 landmines entered her house like through the balcony and blew up and killed her and uh there

00:06:57.360 are other other people as well who went to go pick up a mine that did not detonate and it blew

00:07:01.660 up and killed them or you know uh cut off their limbs or whatever so we're gonna go visit that

00:07:06.400 site tomorrow and document it in greater detail but that's an interesting development because 0.92

00:07:10.400 it's like what are they dropping it just to terrorize the population uh or are they dropping

00:07:16.500 it because they're running low on some of these more precision bombs that they could be dropping

00:07:20.500 because the u.s has been claiming iran's the one running low but people have pointed out that

00:07:24.180 hey maybe the u.s and israel are actually low not just on air defense but on these specific

00:07:28.580 precision bombs so i'm wondering if they're using these mines because they're running low probably

00:07:33.340 a bit of both it's according to hex at these saying the only people in iran that should be

00:07:38.040 nervous are the ones that think they're they're still going to live and they says yesterday that

00:07:42.560 we negotiate with bombs. Trump is saying he's upset that they are now declaring victory and

00:07:49.000 that peace will happen because Hexeth wants to keep on bombing. So much of that rhetoric,

00:07:52.520 even from Lindsey Graham, is they just want to bomb and destroy Iran completely.

00:07:56.400 Equally, it's also a lack of missiles because look at Hexeth, he's asking the Pentagon for

00:08:01.480 $200 billion more. They want to terrorize the people, but they don't have the same capabilities

00:08:07.960 they had in the beginning of epic fury because why would you drop these landmines now they must 0.80

00:08:13.060 be short do you think that well okay what is the perception from the Iranian people because Trump

00:08:18.200 just had this huge statement he's telling everybody that he's negotiating with the

00:08:22.840 leadership in Iran while also saying he killed them all what's going on here is Iran he also

00:08:27.520 said that the Iranian leadership gave him a prize a big prize that I'm not going to specify but

00:08:32.080 very expensive a nice prize what are the iranians saying about this 0.98

00:08:35.460 uh they don't buy any of this bullshit um the people are like every night there's a rally 0.99

00:08:42.960 in this in the cities they have multiple rallies and the people gather and they show their support 0.98

00:08:48.580 for the government and obviously they show their support for the armed forces and so

00:08:52.980 we were just driving around the city and like every few blocks there would be a rally of cars

00:08:58.420 in a rally of people like on the sidewalk waving flags they have stages they're giving out free

00:09:02.940 tea and ice cream and they play music they they do poetry they obviously chant like death to the 0.90

00:09:09.180 shah uh so their morale is very high they don't want a ceasefire they want revenge and they say 0.96

00:09:15.180 this at their their rallies they want revenge and uh their sense is that they're winning

00:09:20.180 and so morale is is high and in iran look in iran right now like i said life is mostly normal

00:09:27.680 The only inconvenience really that people are currently experiencing in Iran is that they don't have Internet.

00:09:35.320 Most people are cut off from the Internet. That is the only real inconvenience.

00:09:40.520 So. Morale is is high because they haven't really been that inconvenienced yet.

00:09:46.860 Obviously, there you know, there is a chance that you die. But Iran is a big country. 0.96

00:09:50.460 They're over 90 million people and they have all these you know, they have so many different cities or gigantic cities.

00:09:55.500 And so, yeah, there's a one in, I don't know, let's say 1000th chance that you'll die in a bombing, right? So a lot of people are being killed, they're being injured, like up to 100,000 buildings have been damaged across the country in like just a few weeks, right? So that's a lot of damage. But again, it's a massive country with 90 million plus people.

00:10:15.760 So the only real inconvenience, again, is the lack of Internet.

00:10:19.780 So they are seeking revenge.

00:10:22.380 They feel like they're winning the war, and they aren't really paying a price right now. 0.66

00:10:25.540 So as it currently stands, I feel like the people in Iran are more than happy to keep this going.

00:10:32.320 Well, what about this woman that you interviewed? 1.00

00:10:34.540 So she seemed like she's a victim of one.

00:10:38.360 I mean, obviously, the casualties that you're saying are low.

00:10:40.500 What's her story?

00:10:41.200 so i've interviewed several women are you are you talking about the clip that went viral

00:10:48.100 yeah it says uh the u.s killed her husband and two children listen to what her and her brother

00:10:54.780 yeah yeah so so she so she's in a northern city tabriz which is in the northwest of iran and

00:11:03.580 that's a city where the majority of the population are azeri or azerbaijani you could you could say

00:11:09.460 So they are Iranians by nationality and citizenship, but ethnically they're not Persian, they're Azeri.

00:11:15.840 And so most of the people there, they speak Azeri first.

00:11:18.880 They don't speak Persian in that city.

00:11:20.240 Some people don't even speak Persian at all.

00:11:22.260 It's not even a second language for them.

00:11:23.720 So that was interesting to me because Iran is a much more diverse country than we're led to believe.

00:11:34.380 There's very little understanding of what Iran is and what it even looks like.

00:11:41.260 Like most of Iran in the propaganda you see, it kind of looks like a desert. 1.00

00:11:45.540 You know, it looks like a backwards country. 1.00

00:11:49.020 But I'm here and I've been to several cities now.

00:11:51.980 And I can tell you that it is greener than you're led to believe.

00:11:56.400 You look at a map, it just looks like one big brown patch of sand.

00:11:59.240 It is greener.

00:12:00.760 It's raining a lot here.

00:12:02.420 It's beautiful.

00:12:03.160 The cities have this like European feel to it.

00:12:06.580 There's a lot of history and civilization and culture.

00:12:08.780 It's more diverse than America.

00:12:11.880 Well, America is incredibly diverse.

00:12:13.900 I would say it's just as diverse, if not more.

00:12:15.680 Like Iran is essentially was in the path of the Silk Road.

00:12:19.700 Right.

00:12:20.000 So there was a lot of trade that passed through it, a lot of wealth.

00:12:23.040 And there's a lot of mixing of cultures there.

00:12:25.120 So you have people from Central Asia.

00:12:27.300 You have people from Afghanistan, from Pakistan.

00:12:30.860 you have azerbaijanis and turks and arabs and kurds and so it's a very diverse society this

00:12:37.020 woman that you're referencing she's a zary and yeah i mean she her house was bombed in the middle

00:12:43.720 of the night they were civilians uh there was no government official there it's unclear why they

00:12:50.320 were bombed but her two children were killed her husband was killed and she was the only survivor

00:12:57.800 and now she's a widow and her brother is going to be taking care of her um and yeah in that video

00:13:04.320 I interviewed her to get her response and you know I told her I was like because she was asking

00:13:09.260 where I'm from because I look like I'm from Iran but I'm not I'm Kurdish and I'm from next door

00:13:14.240 originally I'm from Iraq but I grew up in the U.S. so English is my first language and so she was

00:13:18.200 surprised like why don't you speak you know Farsi or Assyrian I was like I'm not you know from here

00:13:22.600 from america and i told she was like do a lot of people in america like are they do they support

00:13:29.240 this war against us or are they against it and i told her most people in america aren't paying

00:13:33.300 attention but for those who do those who are paying attention and partaking in the discourse

00:13:39.480 and debating this issue most of us on both the left and the right are against this and she was

00:13:44.920 surprised to hear that and i think that's why she felt like saying something good about the american

00:13:49.720 people both her and her brother she said we don't blame the american people uh even though it's the

00:13:55.840 a country that's waging war against us and that just killed my family i understand the people

00:14:02.240 themselves just like you are against it and so that that was uh powerful to witness and to

00:14:07.800 experience because i don't know how you would feel but if if my entire family was killed yeah

00:14:13.480 i'd be i'd be angry i would be wanting to avenge my father and again i'm seeing videos i saw this

00:14:19.460 Iranian boy, his father was a postman. And he's saying, I will avenge my father. And you see,

00:14:23.760 this is the type of person that when he joins a resistance group, they're going to call him a

00:14:26.660 terrorist. And it's like, anybody would want to avenge their family. And so I know so much of

00:14:32.020 the rhetoric is like, oh, they say death to America, death to America. It's like, how could

00:14:35.760 you put yourself in their shoes? You are getting bombed indiscriminately. They're putting down

00:14:40.520 mines. They're threatening to nuke your country. They killed your family members. Are you going

00:14:45.020 to be happy about it and love the american empire and the propaganda will be they hate democracy and 0.97

00:14:51.480 bikinis and hot dogs no they hate the fact that you kill them for no reason i want to ask you 0.57

00:14:56.180 because you are iraqi and recently they said that they finally withdrew the u.s troops after 23 0.79

00:15:01.520 years after the original war and invasion which was concluded in several weeks but they kept the

00:15:06.420 troops there for regime change what are people saying about this and is that true

00:15:10.500 so i'm not uh i haven't spoken to anyone uh like my family living there or friends you know to get

00:15:20.300 their thoughts on it um but look iraq like iraq is blessed with a lot of oil and gas that they

00:15:30.500 could be selling in greater numbers and making a ton of money but the u.s after destroying the

00:15:37.020 country, invading it, destroying it, occupying it, developed a system where whatever oil Iraq

00:15:44.700 sells goes through the U.S. first. So Iraq sells it. The money goes to the U.S. If Iraq behaves 0.59

00:15:53.780 in a way that the U.S. appreciates, then the U.S. will give it to them after taking probably a 0.87

00:15:59.860 significant cut. So Iraq's resources are not being used to its full potential for its people.

00:16:09.180 The money goes to America first. If they decide to do something that goes against America's

00:16:14.140 interest, they won't get it at all. And so they have no sovereignty. And it just produces a lot

00:16:19.520 of corruption. By the time the billions and billions and billions of dollars actually make

00:16:23.920 it to the Iraqi people, it's like a trickle down effect. They barely get the crumbs while cronies 0.99

00:16:29.020 in the country like there are corrupt iraqi politicians of all kinds who take a huge cut 0.87

00:16:35.420 and they steal and the u.s government does as well and as a result iraq is a is a show

00:16:40.540 like i i was there a couple months ago visiting my family it was the first time i've been there 0.64

00:16:43.900 in a long time and it's it's bad man it could be so much better and nicer and it was before the war

00:16:50.540 it was so why was saddam hussein i haven't done enough research about that why was saddam

00:16:55.340 was saying demonized so much it seemed like he was loved by the the people of iraq

00:17:01.980 well he was both feared and loved there are people uh even people who are like i'm kurdish right

00:17:07.580 saddam hussein uh is famous for committing genocide against the kurds uh despite that

00:17:13.660 there are kurds today in iraq who are arabized kurds you could say because in the northern

00:17:19.740 regions, like more of a proper Kurdish society, but many Kurds lived in Baghdad in the south

00:17:25.320 amongst Arabs. And so they're Kurdish, but they're Arabized to an extent. Even these Kurds who,

00:17:32.640 you know, understand that Saddam Hussein wasn't that great to them, even they would say they 0.99

00:17:36.220 prefer the time of Saddam just because it was so much better than all the chaos that ensued 0.98

00:17:41.440 afterwards. So it's not that Saddam was this wonderful president, a good leader or whatever. 0.93

00:17:47.420 it's just that what happened afterwards was so much worse for everybody a lot of people suffered

00:17:53.040 in the insurgency they suffered because of the American invasion and the occupation and uh you

00:17:59.660 know Saddam Hussein the most destructive war obviously is the war with Iran and like up to

00:18:08.420 a million people died on both sides of that war and for me I you know a lot of people

00:18:14.400 i guess i guess for me what i would say is uh i don't like to blame any one leader and

00:18:23.820 demonize them as if they are just an evil caricature any

00:18:28.680 any leader any leader in in the region i think the the deeper issue is not just any one leader

00:18:37.240 The issue is regional instability and insecurity because of the fact that these countries, we talked about this in our last stream, right?

00:18:47.880 These borders are all new.

00:18:49.560 These countries have not existed in their current form for very long.

00:18:54.460 It's been like 75 years maybe.

00:18:56.240 So these are made up borders and populations have just been carved up and split into different countries like the Kurds, for example. 0.82

00:19:04.040 you know a piece in turkey a piece of iran a piece of iraq deliberately you know the british

00:19:09.680 and the french carved it up that way after the collapse of the ottoman empire and so the region

00:19:15.440 exists today in such a way where it's designed to produce instability and insecurity which puts

00:19:23.480 leaders like saddam hussein in a position where he feels like to secure his national security

00:19:28.340 interest for the country of iraq he has to go to war with iran and i'm not trying to justify his

00:19:33.560 decision-making. I'm just trying to point out that on a deeper level, the issue in the region

00:19:39.220 is colonialism and American imperialism and Zionism. Those forces combined have divided

00:19:46.060 and conquered the region, and it just produces insecurity and instability. And that's what

00:19:50.840 causes these devastating wars. Right. So pinpointing and blaming on the different leaders

00:19:55.660 is looking at it through a microscope instead of seeing the grander scale.

00:20:00.100 exactly i think it's too simplistic and it's how we get trapped you know like you posted the other

00:20:07.760 day about uh shias or yeah what did you tweet exactly i said shia muslims are keeping the

00:20:16.580 alive yeah um and and there was a brother he's a streamer i forget his name i think muhammad he

00:20:23.540 does dawah he replied to you um not muhammad hijab there's another guy he's a younger guy

00:20:30.260 yeah yeah yeah the land uh yeah the second one what was his name uh muhammad ali muslim lantern

00:20:37.780 yeah yeah um that conversation was that that exchange was interesting i think a lot of people

00:20:46.240 want to make it about sunni they want to make it about shia they want to make it about iran they

00:20:50.240 to make it about syria i think when if when we don't when we look at these things through the

00:20:56.800 microscope like you just were describing we get trapped in the weeds and we start arguing and

00:21:01.840 debating and then it becomes sectarian and it becomes one big victim uh narrative where everyone

00:21:08.240 is talking insisting that they are the victim and the other side are you know they're they're the uh

00:21:14.080 it's playing into their hands they want us to be divided and bickering at each other

00:21:17.280 and like the perfect example that we can prove is the isis example which is clearly funded by 0.90

00:21:23.040 massad and cia they admit that now so this was meant to divide the muslim world for so long now

00:21:28.060 we realize who was behind it and really the greater intention was to get people focused on 0.82

00:21:32.560 radical muslims and muslim terrorists and getting you know these regions divided by borders to hate

00:21:37.800 each other mission was accomplished if you are feeding into that instead of seeing who's really 0.99

00:21:42.000 benefiting and who's really creating this division so my point is don't play into their hand right

00:21:46.820 now, Iran is fighting back and they're doing a terrific job. So they deserve credit. And they're

00:21:50.880 predominantly Shia Muslim. And so all this talk I hear about Shia Muslims being, they did this, 1.00

00:21:55.720 they did that. What's happening right now? And who's the one fighting back? Especially Trump

00:21:59.200 just said in a speech yesterday, he said that Saudi is working with them. So how do you think

00:22:03.440 we're supposed to do a line? Well, you know, let's look at who is really defending the Umar 0.99

00:22:09.040 right now. Who is fighting back against the people trying to genocide us? It's Iran. 0.85

00:22:12.880 Right. Yeah, exactly. You're right to say that we need to understand that we are playing into their hands. This is a trap that they've set is to divide and conquer us. 0.68

00:22:24.600 The only thing I would advise you to do, because I think we don't like when people make this sectarian in a negative way, right? But when you say Shia are carrying the Omar, representing the Omar, you're kind of being sectarian, but in a positive way, because you have a positive intention. 0.95

00:22:40.840 You're saying what the Shia in Iran are doing is right. They are actually resisting U.S. imperialism and Zionism. Right.

00:22:48.760 But then that puts these Sunnis like the Muslim lantern in a position where he replies because a lot of Sunnis feel triggered by that because it becomes like us versus them, Shia versus Sunni. 0.91

00:22:58.680 But actually, who triggered all of this? It was Hamas in Gaza. And they are Sunni. Right. 0.89

00:23:04.400 So it's not about being Sunni or Shia. It's about the entity you establish or a resistance group, whether it's a non-state like Hamas, that's a non-state entity or a state entity like Iran.

00:23:14.480 What is your ethos? Right. So whether you're Sunni or Shia, it doesn't matter.

00:23:18.800 It's about are you willing to resist? Or are you identify as the enemy?

00:23:24.620 And as he pointed out, you have nations like Saudi Arabia and others that are willing to to not just exist within the American order that, you know,

00:23:33.660 sometimes that isn't up to you, right? Like, you're not powerful enough to resist that. Like,

00:23:37.900 let's say you're if you're Qatar, like a small little Gulf country. But they go beyond that.

00:23:42.780 Unfortunately, they, like you said, Saudi Arabia, Donald Trump, you know, basically coming out and

00:23:47.360 saying Saudi Arabia wants us to do it. And now the New York Times has reported, there's a lot of,

00:23:51.320 you know, reports coming out that Saudi Arabia is urging the US to destroy Iran. Now, how much of

00:23:57.420 that is true? I'm inclined to believe it's true, just because we know that Saudi Arabia has been 0.99

00:24:02.080 they feel threatened by Iran, and they have been threatened by them for a very long time now. So

00:24:07.720 it doesn't surprise me. But, you know, perhaps it's propaganda. We don't know. We need more

00:24:11.620 information to confirm it. But you're right to point that out. I mean, it's obvious. We could

00:24:16.620 just forget the propaganda coming from the media outlets. Let's look at what's actually happening.

00:24:21.060 The U.S. have fighter jets flying to bomb Iran, and they're getting refueled by aerial tankers

00:24:26.360 over Saudi Arabian airspace. And those tankers are flying out of Saudi Arabian air bases.

00:24:32.080 right there what what u.s base in saudi arabia or it's a saudi arabian base that they're giving

00:24:37.320 access to the americans for so those are actions that tell you very clearly that they support the

00:24:42.320 war with iran and that's unfortunate now they happen to be sunni but those are that's a that's

00:24:49.940 a minority right for the leadership if you look at the entire i'm not even in sense about to say

00:24:53.880 that i travel to saudi arabia all the time people say like don't criticize because then it's not

00:24:58.100 even criticizing responding to what trump said but they said like you might not be able to travel

00:25:01.720 there, blah, blah, blah. I don't want to get into the details, but people understand what I'm

00:25:04.880 insinuating. So I'm saying this because I want to encourage the people to unite. And so speaking

00:25:09.660 about what's happening in Iran, because you're there, what is the overall idea about Iranian

00:25:14.440 leadership? That's something that we're very confused about in America, because they keep

00:25:17.360 bragging about regime change, saying they killed the leadership. Then they said they're negotiating

00:25:20.680 with the leaders. What do the Iranian people think? Who's in charge of Iran right now?

00:25:25.000 so as i understand it iran uh has uh iran has a strong institution or a system that is not

00:25:38.680 dependent on one man so the u.s and israel believe that if they kill the supreme leader the entire

00:25:44.140 thing would collapse that they would either produce an internal conflict where there would

00:25:48.940 be a power struggle by competing forces who want to become the supreme leader and take over the

00:25:53.100 country or that the system actually wasn't too strong and that it would just collapse like a

00:25:58.880 house of cards well they tested that theory they killed the supreme leader and many other people

00:26:04.520 we don't know how many leaders but supposedly the supreme leader wasn't alone he was with other

00:26:09.080 people so they killed a lot of people it's like a major decapitation strike and what happened

00:26:14.780 it's a month later and it's as if it never happened the iranian system the iranian economy

00:26:20.880 the government everything continues to exist and they're fighting back and they're actually doing

00:26:25.340 very well and then they killed ali larijani and he was the secretary they killed him in an

00:26:31.280 assassination strike as well and what happened it's as if it never happened you know iran's

00:26:36.340 continuing to fight back so they have a very strong resilient system i think that's been proven

00:26:41.180 that's an objective thing to say i think uh who's in charge i mean apparently the the son of the

00:26:47.860 supreme leader much about he has become the supreme leader but i think from what i've heard

00:26:53.220 from iranians and what i'm hearing trump say he was injured in the attack that killed his father

00:27:00.220 and so he's alive but he's injured and he's injured enough where he's not even coming out

00:27:05.120 on camera so so far he's only made like two or three statements and they've been written so

00:27:10.120 obviously he's not well enough to put himself on camera but apparently he's the new supreme

00:27:15.460 leader. But regardless, it doesn't matter, I think, even if he isn't alive, which could very

00:27:20.840 well be the case. Maybe he isn't alive and they just haven't shared that yet. Just like Netanyahu.

00:27:26.020 Yeah, potentially like Netanyahu. It wouldn't matter. I think, you know, it would continue.

00:27:31.800 Iran and Iran has decentralized itself, like they've made themselves coup proof. And they've 0.91

00:27:36.200 done this because they understand what U.S. and Israel are trying to do. They want to decapitate. 0.86

00:27:40.980 So how exactly are they coup proof? Because we know that they've been preparing for this for

00:27:44.600 decades, what systems are in place to prevent this regime change? So, for example, one of the

00:27:51.360 things they did after the 12-day war, last summer when Israel attacked Iran, it was almost 24 hours

00:27:58.260 before Iran could respond. And that was because of a decapitation strike that took out leadership

00:28:03.420 that would have directed the armed forces. And there was just like a bureaucratic kind of hold

00:28:09.840 up or whatever and so for that reason the orders didn't come down top down fast enough this time

00:28:15.580 what they did in preparation for that understanding that the intention was to decentralize them and

00:28:20.080 potentially produce a coup they gave their orders preemptively to units in the army in the aerospace

00:28:29.360 forces or whatever forces are responsible for firing drones and the missiles and they split

00:28:33.980 them up into units and they gave them orders and they carry out their mission regardless of whether

00:28:38.880 or not they receive orders telling them to do this or to do that so that way they guarantee

00:28:43.460 that even if they decapitated and they somehow got a guy that was like okay let's make peace

00:28:48.320 the entire army has their orders and they're like no we're not making peace we're fighting back

00:28:52.680 so it's not even like someone could you know like the massad could take out everyone and then they

00:28:58.740 get their guy and he becomes the new leader and he goes he says okay guys let's stop fighting i

00:29:02.620 don't even think he would have the power to do that so it's kind of like a dead hand strategy

00:29:06.280 basically and so that's just one way they've decentralized the army in such a way where

00:29:11.140 they're going to fight regardless with or without their orders um but they've also split it up like

00:29:17.200 the supreme leader understood that they would probably kill him and so he created layers

00:29:21.680 layers and layers of succession so he said if i die you know it should go to this this person

00:29:27.940 should lead that person should lead that person should lead over and over and over again and he

00:29:31.560 several layers of that. And so that was another method of having continuity. If he's killed and

00:29:38.820 the next four guys are killed, people understand where leadership is going to lie. And, you know,

00:29:45.300 another thing is, like, you look what happened in Venezuela. Somebody folded, right? Somebody

00:29:50.120 folded. Somebody gave up Maduro. Maduro, like, now he's sitting in jail. So Trump felt like,

00:29:55.720 oh, okay, it must be that easy with Iran as well. And I'm not criticizing Venezuela. I don't know,

00:30:00.520 like i'm not saying that they're not committed to the revolution they're not committed to their

00:30:04.280 government's mission i don't know we know just not on iran's level we do know the commitment is

00:30:09.600 not like it's not it's exactly it's not and there's a lot of differences in like terms of

00:30:14.040 geography and military capabilities there's a lot of differences but the point is like you said

00:30:18.620 they're not on iran's level so trump thought he was going to have somebody in iran would sell out

00:30:23.060 basically and it's not that there aren't sellouts it's just at this higher level people really i

00:30:27.960 think underestimate the islamic revolution what it meant to these people what they fought for what

00:30:33.180 they struggled for for so long i mean think about it they've been under sanctions for 45 years

00:30:39.000 plus yet they've developed this beautiful society that i've witnessed with my own two eyes

00:30:43.940 like this is a well-developed country people take the train from city to city they take the subway

00:30:51.340 within the cities they have access to health care they have access to mass mass transportation their

00:30:56.740 cities are beautiful their historical sites are preserved and they got a badass military and they

00:31:03.040 made their own social media apps they have all kinds of things they develop their own they pride

00:31:08.200 themselves on standing on their own two feet and they do that under sanctions so you have to have

00:31:11.800 some kind of ideological commitment right that uh that drives that right and so that's the difference

00:31:17.620 between iran venezuela and that's where i think trump miscalculated the main thing uh one of the

00:31:21.720 major differences since we last spoke is the fact that now that there's a two million dollar toll

00:31:26.200 to trade oil through the Strait of Hormuz,

00:31:29.400 which if people look at over the span of a year,

00:31:31.920 you can make $100 billion.

00:31:33.880 Has that money been seen?

00:31:37.500 Is this something that's affecting

00:31:38.780 the Iranian economy already?

00:31:42.720 I don't have any way to measure that

00:31:45.360 or calculate that myself,

00:31:46.700 but I can tell you that, like I said,

00:31:49.400 the only inconvenience for Iranians right now

00:31:51.120 is the internet. 1.00

00:31:52.700 Everything else they have access to.

00:31:54.540 There's no shortage of food.

00:31:55.860 how soon until they can get internet again i don't think the i don't think the government

00:32:01.620 will turn on the internet until the war is clearly over i think they really want to protect their

00:32:06.660 information space there's a chance maybe if there's a if there's a temporary ceasefire for

00:32:11.540 like two days they might turn the internet back on because a lot of people can't communicate with

00:32:15.460 their family outside of the country right and there's a lot of iran who have family outside

00:32:19.540 and so yeah the western iranian diaspora they're they're super happy that they've now been liberated

00:32:24.660 they're saying thank you bb thank you trump they can't even communicate their their celebrations

00:32:31.140 yeah unfortunately no okay they can't i want to ask you about the u.s ground evasion because i

00:32:35.940 don't know if you agree but trump saying that he wants to give him five days just seems like

00:32:41.140 he's waiting until the market's closed to put a ground invasion and bring 5 000 marines and

00:32:47.220 you know around the trade of hormones are people preparing for that what's the sentiment and do

00:32:51.780 Do people believe the war is over?

00:32:52.980 Because in America, Trump's saying that the war is won.

00:32:55.800 We won victory.

00:32:57.020 It's not a conflict, but we won the war.

00:32:58.900 It's not a war, but we won it.

00:33:00.540 What is the sentiment going on in Iran right now about ground invasion?

00:33:04.300 And is the war over?

00:33:05.540 Please tell me.

00:33:08.020 It's the same thing that the foreign minister actually said on camera when he smiled at

00:33:13.320 the journalist and he said, we're waiting for it.

00:33:15.320 I think the people here are also waiting for it.

00:33:17.840 And these are not at least those who are like really ideologically committed to the revolution.

00:33:23.360 The ones who are at these rallies I told you about where they're saying death to the Shah.

00:33:27.780 They are I mean, they're they're begging for it.

00:33:31.680 They want to fight. And they understand that they've been preparing for this for 45 years.

00:33:38.940 Right. Where Trump is kind of getting dragged into this and isn't he isn't really sure about the risk he's taking.

00:33:45.600 yet he's willing to fall into that trap. And I'm sure Russia and China are looking at this

00:33:49.940 thinking, like, this is incredible. America is doing everything that it should not be doing.

00:33:57.900 None of this serves their interests. This is actually really bad for them. This could expedite

00:34:02.040 the process of the collapse of their empire and usher in a more secure and stable multipolar

00:34:06.860 world. So, you know, there's that phrase, never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake,

00:34:11.220 right i feel like iran russia and china feel that way so if the u.s if trump is actually

00:34:16.900 going to attempt this ground invasion it's probably going to go poorly a lot of troops

00:34:21.760 are going to die and i don't know maybe trump wants them to die maybe he wants americans to

00:34:25.980 feel insulted and embarrassed and hurt by that and say let's double down and let's send a hundred

00:34:30.740 thousand troops there maybe that's what he's going for but i feel like if it's just a limited like

00:34:35.820 five to ten thousand ground force invasion i think that's going to go very poorly for the united

00:34:40.420 states it's going to be have you met any irgc soldiers no no that that's the kind of thing

00:34:48.100 that would get me uh in trouble yeah yeah just talking to the governor is risky but like i mean

00:34:54.400 he's a governor he's a civilian governor he's not like affiliated to the yeah that's huge with the

00:34:59.960 army that's huge and hope you stay safe hope you stay safe what else can you tell us about since

00:35:05.640 we last spoke what else is happening in iran some you know something you've seen that we're not aware

00:35:11.560 of um to be honest with you nothing over the last few days has really changed i accept my own

00:35:23.300 perception like it's grown i have more knowledge and information now and experience and i guess

00:35:28.760 what i can tell you is i have it every day i stay here i gain more and more understanding and what 0.99

00:35:34.360 i'm sure of today i was telling my colleague dimitri i told him there's no way the shah could 0.64

00:35:41.560 ever come back to power in iran there's no way like this guy's begging to become the leader of

00:35:47.160 a country that doesn't want him and would kill him if he ever returned so i i don't even know

00:35:54.220 why he wants to put his life in danger like that if he were to be put in power it would require

00:35:58.860 like hundreds of thousands of occupying troops and he would only be in power for as long as they

00:36:03.660 could protect him. Like in Afghanistan, they had a president that was like a Western backed

00:36:07.980 president. As soon as the U.S. left the Taliban to go for it, it returned, you know, to business as 0.74

00:36:13.580 usual. I think that would happen in Iran, except I don't even think they could secure Iran because 0.89

00:36:17.660 I think these same people I'm telling you about were dedicated to the revolution. I think they

00:36:21.760 would, they would all seek their own martyrdom because they would be just itching to get rid

00:36:28.700 of this guy. And they already got rid of his father once. So I'm just like before, you know,

00:36:32.920 i i wasn't i never felt like he really had much of a chance but i thought okay maybe maybe right

00:36:38.520 but now that i'm here and i've been here longer and i've seen the society from the more urban

00:36:43.800 environments to the less urban environments from liberal environments conservative there's no way

00:36:47.640 this guy could ever return to power in iran so regime change is going to be a failure although

00:36:54.200 they're saying they've changed the goalposts now regime change according to trump is killing the

00:36:58.120 leadership not actually changing the regime to something he thinks that he changed it just because

00:37:03.160 he killed the 86 year old man with cancer but yeah good luck i mean do you think that i'm right in

00:37:09.400 that prediction that there's going to be a ground troop invasion probably this weekend

00:37:15.080 i can't say about a timeline but i think you're right about a ground invasion jane called it a

00:37:20.360 lot of other people are calling it um i mean this is only surprising to people if they're not really

00:37:26.280 paying attention to the details everything is moving in that direction so i don't know if it'll

00:37:31.480 happen this weekend but i think you're right when you predict that there will be a ground invasion

00:37:35.820 for sure whether it's a small island like karg island where like a lot of iran's oil and gas

00:37:41.480 infrastructure is uh or if it's like uh khorram shar which is a city on the border with iraq like

00:37:47.620 basra in iraq and kuwait um either one of those two locations uh but whatever i mean the point

00:37:56.020 are going to try to take some territory and then use it as leverage. Because that's what Trump is

00:38:00.740 desperate for. Right now, he knows that this is a big L for him, and he's trying to strengthen his

00:38:06.360 hand. And so he thinks maybe if he can occupy some city of value, he can then go back to Iran and 0.97

00:38:10.660 say, OK, now let's negotiate a ceasefire. We'll give you back some of your territory. But as it 0.82

00:38:14.680 currently stands, Iran holds all the cards. And I think that's what the escalation trap that we 0.99

00:38:20.280 were talking about the other night, right? Like Trump feels like he has to double down to get

00:38:24.460 the hole he's in but in the process of doing so he digs a deeper hole yeah so yeah they played a

00:38:31.500 asymmetrical warfare perfectly it's you know it's playing out exactly how analysts have predicted

00:38:37.500 it to play out i want to ask you one more what message do you have for the western iranian

00:38:42.540 diaspora who three weeks ago they were celebrating parading about their country getting bombed by

00:38:48.540 netanyahu and trump what would you say to them now uh well first go yourselves um secondly

00:39:00.220 i think you know i i don't know if you saw that video of me riding my bike around

00:39:04.620 isfahan uh i would say to the diaspora who's who are like monarchists or who really want to see

00:39:10.780 the country continue to get bombed i would say look uh i don't like you people i don't agree

00:39:15.340 with you guys whatsoever but i think you have a beautiful country and i think you have a beautiful

00:39:18.740 culture and a beautiful history and you should want to preserve that and i think by now we're

00:39:24.380 already seeing certain monarchists or you know iranian diaspora who supported the war now they're

00:39:29.380 even beginning to flip and they're tweeting out a concern there was one woman who was vicious i'm

00:39:33.200 just begging for this to happen and now she's tweeting out trump's oh please trump reconsider

00:39:37.340 like you're destroying our civilian infrastructure it's like yeah you should have known better but

00:39:42.380 at least she's recognizing that now so i would say you know to the to the diaspora like you know

00:39:49.420 think about this more carefully and understand that your civilization's history is at is at

00:39:56.480 stake and so you should want to preserve that as much as possible and hopefully by now you 0.94

00:40:00.060 understand that these people aren't here to liberate you they're here to rape kill and 1.00

00:40:03.880 dominate you so don't be a useful idiot unconditional surrender epic fury well last 1.00

00:40:10.080 want to i just wanted to see what you think why are so many of them because they you know they 1.00

00:40:14.440 hate the ayatollah what's the reason behind that they said that they were kicked out of their

00:40:17.320 country what is the you know what's the history behind that so i'm not an expert so i can't like

00:40:27.300 i'm going to be careful about what i say and i would encourage people to listen to to proper

00:40:31.680 experts who can expand on this more but i'll try to provide some nuance okay so the revolution that

00:40:37.500 topped the Shah, was mostly driven as an Islamic revolution by people like Ali Khamenei, right?

00:40:43.300 Like this guy actually was tortured in jail by the Sabah, Iranian intelligence, put him in solitary

00:40:48.700 confinement, physically tortured him, psychologically tortured him, and many others. And most of them 0.79

00:40:53.340 were religious Shias. And so there was an Islamic revolution that was, I think, the main driver that

00:41:00.200 overthrew the Shah. But there were many Iranians who were not very religious. And one of them,

00:41:05.320 I would say I interviewed Professor Majid Sharif. I've interviewed him on my channel several times.

00:41:10.660 He's a brilliant professor. He lives in America. He was a young Iranian, not super religious.

00:41:16.260 In fact, he's not religious at all, but he supported the toppling of the Shah.

00:41:19.420 But after the toppling of the Shah, what came to power? The Islamic government, right? 0.85

00:41:24.860 The Islamic revolutionary government. If you are like a moderate or a liberal, you're not super religious.

00:41:30.540 but now all of a sudden you live in a society where you can't drink uh if you're a woman you're

00:41:37.500 forced to cover up you know so from that perspective that bothered i think a lot of

00:41:42.580 iranians just providing i guess their perspective and i've interviewed some of them here they don't

00:41:47.580 want to get on camera because they don't feel comfortable doing so but and you can easily

00:41:52.320 identify them like they look like they live in the west they're dressed liberally uh they don't have

00:41:56.900 their hair showing like sorry they have their hair showing they don't wear the scarf and just the way

00:42:02.180 they dress you can tell like okay they're liberal so i speak to them and i ask them what they think

00:42:06.660 and they say straight up that like even though things have improved they don't appreciate the

00:42:11.460 government imposing onto them and so for a lot of these people i feel like you know how people get

00:42:17.940 about religion already right people it's already hard enough for people to believe in religion and

00:42:23.060 practice religion in the modern day so just imagine uh being forced to practice the religion

00:42:28.660 that you don't you already have a hard time believing in so i think for a lot of people

00:42:32.100 that's the issue um and this is a question i posted the governor that i was telling you about

00:42:38.660 so when dimitri posts that i'll share that interview clip and you can hear his response

00:42:42.420 he had a pretty reasonable response he's like look in every society and every family and every uh

00:42:47.700 culture you're gonna have a generational divide he's like obviously there's a difference between

00:42:51.620 me as somebody who's older um and the youth there's no doubt there's a huge difference between

00:42:56.820 us um and he's like we've we've given up ground like we women today the same women who say that

00:43:03.860 like we're forcing them to cover up we don't do that like they're outside with no head scarf on

00:43:08.980 so much has changed uh but still people feel like they're living in a theocracy essentially

00:43:15.460 essentially even though like i'm honestly it's a you've seen my videos you know watch them now and

00:43:21.780 yeah it's a perfectly normal place but um it isn't it isn't like it's always been like this there

00:43:29.300 people did have to protest and kind of push for these kinds of changes and it's happened over

00:43:33.620 many years this is a recent development in the last six or seven years where it's become

00:43:37.940 more liberal because the government understands they can't they have to give ground like they

00:43:42.820 they have room for people and so i think i don't know i can't speak for all diaspora

00:43:47.180 um but i would say that that's what it seems like non-modern leftist

00:43:51.660 it seems like it really just seems like a separation of values you know preferring western

00:43:57.800 values over religious values but thanks so much for your time i i love the work you're doing i'm

00:44:02.860 going to stay up to date with everything you post and if there's anything you need from me you know

00:44:07.160 you got my my contact if we could help you in any way and stay safe out there inshallah you

00:44:12.800 remain safe i know things are probably going to escalate real soon and i hope that you i really

00:44:17.920 appreciate information uh the only the only favor i ask is if i come back to the states and i run

00:44:22.880 into any issues uh you know just speak up for me that's it i got you man well i got you so habib

00:44:30.240 i appreciate it man thanks for having me on and uh thanks take care w in the chat great call great

00:44:38.880 guy great journalist that's what i'm talking about pretty cool to be able to get interviews like that

00:44:43.520 you know who else is getting covered i haven't seen any coverage in mainstream news i think we're

00:44:49.040 getting better information better coverage on the stream than we are from cnn when it comes to what's

00:44:53.840 happening in iran because of this so shout out to propagandico make sure to give us a follow and

00:44:59.040 subscribe to his channel and we'll keep on platforming him as he's out there and speaking

00:45:05.200 to him but this is dope i'm not seeing this anywhere else are you super dope

00:45:14.160 so this clip is going around from the ziles and ted cruz

00:45:17.440 they're saying that tucker is in support of sharia law and this is obviously this guy here

00:45:23.360 whatever clearly a 7k massad influencer it's funny too it came for the original clip came

00:45:28.320 from muslim mum shout out to her she's doing great work but then it got quote tweeted by

00:45:32.480 Zio and then quote tweeted by Ted Cruz, Muslim is making it all the way to Zio senators. So let's

00:45:38.780 see what he said. Because the community note says that he didn't even say, like they put this fake

00:45:43.740 quote, which should be taken down. Sharia law has made Islamic societies more advanced in the West.

00:45:48.060 I don't even think he said it in this clip, but people will believe anything they read. 0.88

00:45:52.160 And Tucker saying five years ago, who had on the bingo card, Tucker becoming an outspoken defender

00:45:55.900 of Sharia law. 15K likes. I responded to Ted Cruz. I said, Sharia law would have prevented Trump from

00:46:01.560 calling your wife a fat and ugly whore on debate stage right next to you. Allegedly. He didn't say 1.00

00:46:06.160 stuff like I got to stop cursing. Back in 2015, 2016, Trump's major opponents were people like

00:46:13.600 Cruz, Rubio. And he said on stage next to Cruz, he said his wife was ugly and fat. Sharia law 0.99

00:46:19.920 would have prevented that, Ted. You're so afraid of Sharia law. In a Sharia society, that would

00:46:26.560 have never been allowed. One, he would have not known what your wife had looked like. If your 1.00

00:46:30.420 wife really is fat and ugly, she would have been covered up and Trump would have not been able to 1.00

00:46:33.880 make that assumption. Second, you would not be able to speak about somebody's wife that way on 0.99

00:46:39.120 a public debate stage. So you're so afraid of Sharia law. Yeah, you would have avoided that

00:46:46.400 under Sharia. But let's see if Tucker actually even really said this because I really like what

00:46:49.960 Tucker's been saying recently. I travel so much that I see it. There's not a single Western city

00:46:56.360 that's thriving and they're all degrading in exactly the same way is a lot of it just a moral

00:47:02.920 decay or is it actually true it's a lot of things but it's self-hatred every city crazy every 0.91

00:47:08.360 european city every american city it's just white people lose their their will to live their will 0.79

00:47:13.720 to pass on their culture their values their religion to their children their their will 0.51

00:47:17.160 to have children it's all gone i mean it's not gone with everybody but i mean in the cities you

00:47:22.120 you really see it it's like the people who built this are long gone and their descendants have

00:47:27.320 fled and they don't care enough to keep it going there's just a lack of self-respect

00:47:32.600 that is disgusting to me and i have contempt for it i don't it doesn't bother me to be hated what

00:47:37.720 really bothers me is when people hate themselves if you hate yourself yeah how are you going to 0.74

00:47:41.560 treat me that's correct oh man i don't like it so you and you i've noticed it because i travel

00:47:45.960 outside the western world the white world just beyond the white world travel a lot in the middle 0.73

00:47:49.560 east it's amazing it's amazing i'm not muslim obviously i'm like christian you know flat out

00:47:55.000 christian my ancestors are from europe and so i'm not i have nothing in common on that level with

00:48:00.120 abu tucker al katarlison mashallah one through ten what's the likelihood tucker says the shahada

00:48:11.960 the gulf but you go to the gulf and it's incredible to be in a place that has

00:48:16.120 pride in itself that believes in its religion and culture that thinks we're on to something this is

00:48:19.400 is great. Look at what we're doing. We're really proud of this. Those people are happy. They're

00:48:22.660 welcoming of others. They're tolerant of diversity. Like always tolerant of diversity. There's none

00:48:26.220 of that here. Are you kidding? All the whites, oh, we love black people. Then they run and move

00:48:29.560 to Bozeman because there are no black people. Absolutely. They hate diversity. And our version 1.00

00:48:33.980 of it isn't working at all, like at all. They say diversity is our greatest strength, but the

00:48:38.560 first thing anybody with money does is go as far away from black people as possible. Let's be real. 0.98

00:48:44.340 Like when they say go to nice neighborhoods, they mean away from the inner city. And if you look at

00:48:48.680 the demographics, it really is just further away from predominantly black communities where gang

00:48:53.420 violence and other things are prominent. That's the honest truth. So clearly diversity is not our

00:48:58.300 strength. To a country like Japan or the Emirates or Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and you see that when

00:49:04.020 people are self-confident, when they're really pleased with what they're doing and they believe

00:49:07.380 that their system is the right system, that self-confidence results in a kind of welcoming

00:49:11.940 attitude. So you'll be sitting at dinner in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and you'll say, you know,

00:49:16.800 I'm really kind of pro-Jesus.

00:49:17.960 Like, I'm a Christian.

00:49:18.740 They're like, that's so great.

00:49:19.780 And they don't have the same...

00:49:20.780 Well, they mean it.

00:49:21.420 They don't have the same belief. 1.00

00:49:22.140 They're Muslims. 0.99

00:49:22.720 It's a country governed by Sharia law. 1.00

00:49:24.160 Right. 1.00

00:49:24.720 And they're like, that's great.

00:49:25.720 Good for you, yeah.

00:49:26.280 That's great.

00:49:26.760 And you notice, like, in ISIS or Al-Qaeda, 1.00

00:49:29.160 like the Muslim extremists, 1.00

00:49:31.100 they're all from, like, collapsed, pathetic societies 1.00

00:49:33.860 dominated by colonial powers. 0.98

00:49:35.160 They've been degraded.

00:49:36.340 And that's why they're so angry.

00:49:38.080 Right?

00:49:38.420 So there's something about being degraded 0.96

00:49:39.620 that turns you into a violent nutcase extremist. 0.88

00:49:41.460 You're seeing a lot of violent nutcase extremists 0.98

00:49:42.600 in our country.

00:49:42.960 not surprising this country's being degraded correct so in a country with self-confidence

00:49:45.920 people are tolerant and open-minded and happy and in a country where people are told to hate

00:49:49.740 themselves they start to hate others duh this is all very obvious but i only know that because

00:49:53.580 i've traveled a lot and i am naturally open-minded just because you don't do it my way doesn't mean

00:49:58.600 it's bad like i really feel that way where they're into things that i'm not into like i don't know

00:50:01.260 polygamy or islam and i can sort of look at it and be like no one's forcing this on me i'm not

00:50:04.960 mad at you for being a polygamist i think it's really hard but whatever leaving that aside but

00:50:08.000 i can go to a place like that and i don't feel like i need to judge everybody on their on their

00:50:11.040 local customs I just don't feel that need and but in the process of doing that like you just you get

00:50:15.820 perspective on your own society and the core problem is a loss of faith in our people in our

00:50:21.780 values in our religions don't believe anything I don't care what you tell me like I'm noticing

00:50:26.260 that New York City has people sitting on the sidewalk having to text ATM vestibules and people

00:50:29.560 are dying of drug odies on the street in their car jackets you're telling me it's thriving I was

00:50:32.520 just there it's not I don't care what statute from well according according to the American 0.86

00:50:35.860 Academy of bullshit it's actually the best it's ever been really I was there last week it's not 0.96

00:50:39.040 All I'm saying is let's treat the people who run the banks, the people who are getting rich from usury, like the criminals they are. 0.99

00:50:44.260 And make them suffer, because that's totally fair.

00:50:46.200 If you exploit and destroy people, you're not a good person, and we should just say that.

00:50:50.380 And I think we should start by getting collective action.

00:50:52.460 Everybody who's deepened credit card debt, I don't care what your race would be actually a way to unify the country.

00:50:55.580 We're just going to have this month, we're all getting together, and we're not going to pay our credit card bill.

00:50:58.880 That would be amazing.

00:50:59.740 What are you going to do about it?

00:51:01.160 But your average person can't do that, so why don't we all get together and do that?

00:51:03.460 You know what would happen if we did that?

00:51:04.240 I'd be assassinated immediately just for saying that.

00:51:09.040 w tucker yeah what's the likelihood that i can get on the tucker show or candace owens shout

00:51:16.880 out to candace owens i saw she retweeted my tweet from a couple days ago did you guys see that

00:51:24.320 i think they're they're definitely aware because you know tucker had on jang a couple weeks after

00:51:30.160 i had him on twice candace but you know what they're probably thinking right now is what the

00:51:35.280 backlash will be because it is true i'm equally it's funny now because i am one of the people

00:51:43.600 covering the war the most it's it's it's funny how i could become a geopolitical streamer

00:51:48.800 while also being the vlog film cinema scorsese guy while also being the irl neon fousey

00:51:56.000 clavicular irl chat chat streamer well also the netflix documentary will call me part of

00:52:01.520 the manosphere and red pill i'm able to dabble into a lot of different categories which i think

00:52:07.040 is which i really like but they are going to use that against them if there is a collaboration right

00:52:16.080 but what do you guys prefer the most out of it because like so far i would say this year

00:52:20.000 my streaming has been defined majority by geopolitics you know although there's a lot

00:52:27.600 of religious dreams too you could say the vlogs like the project x the film stuff also the irl

00:52:35.760 you know jester gooning or whatever they say you could say that you know kick stuff normie whatever

00:52:43.680 what do you guys prefer

00:52:48.400 third world

00:52:51.840 anyway yeah and it's getting warmer so there's gonna have more irl stuff

00:52:55.600 saying grifting in all directions it's not grifting grifting is lying it's like i just

00:52:58.960 make different types of content i think people think that you're just being a one-trick pony

00:53:03.040 you got to be the most boring thing i like being a versatile content creator i want to bring up this

00:53:09.840 but there's a lot more news to cover just reminded me um scrolling through my tweets

00:57:24.940 want to be putting in you know eight to ten hour streams I think it'd be a good thing to mix it up

00:57:28.320 with just the geopolitics is like an hour or two of IRL with her we could do some some gym stuff

00:57:34.060 or something off your money go off your social media accounts but he's brave I will say that

00:57:37.220 because like a lot of people have like are spineless and go with what is popular to say

00:57:41.460 but he doesn't give a fuck and that's why I will respect him as in my opinion one of the most 0.97

00:57:45.800 original like him Fousey Brad they're pretty straight out they'll give a fuck about what 0.98

00:57:49.860 they say and I feel like they're just I respect them a lot as a creator true bravery no I'm

00:57:52.800 serious because you could easily be like a sheep and just be like you know sneaker's the next top

00:57:58.120 g oh my god i remember the top g mentality

00:58:00.140 ali let's do it let's do it did i call it right now yeah i want to get it done i think that'd be

00:58:10.500 a good thing if she she comes to miami or new york for a week and that could be like an hour

00:58:15.240 or two segment every day and then i'll go into my my normal you know geopolitical stuff i'm about

00:58:21.860 call propaganda and co in a couple minutes but this is obviously very different do you guys

00:58:26.100 remember the g walk i got you boo make that money yeah i like her uh you know what i'll just text

00:58:33.860 her after it's fine it's fine she calls back she calls back oh i tweeted this look at uh penguin

00:58:39.860 bet david is this not uncanny is this really not completely accurate it's like you don't even need

00:58:46.820 to ai or photoshop but he really does look like penguin penguin bet star of david i'm never going

00:58:54.320 to be able to unsee it the same circles around his eyes the same exact pointy nose same facial

00:58:58.980 expression it's incredible but i don't think he always looked like this the more pbd goes into

00:59:05.140 being a warmongering you know warmongering neocon hawk he looked more evil physiognomy is real

00:59:13.380 the more his mind is going to nukes and murder and destruction of his own people in iran 0.65

00:59:18.400 the uglier he's getting real talk if we know 100 israel sent three missiles to turkey and 0.68

00:59:27.200 the blamed on iran they are false flagging iran yeah they keep trying to false flag iran turkey

00:59:32.020 does not is not going to fall for that though have long-range missiles speaking of false flag

00:59:37.260 yeah the one he's speaking about here pbd knows better maybe he doesn't maybe he's just really 1.00

00:59:40.780 an idiot. But that attack on Diego Garcia, which nobody in the Trump administration even talked 1.00

00:59:45.220 about, that was a false flag attack. Iran denied responsibility of that attack on Diego Garcia.

00:59:51.020 This is U.S. military base in the Indian Ocean. Everyone just moves on. So who was it? If it

00:59:57.180 wasn't Iran, clearly it was Israel. No one speaks about it. But this is justification that PBD is 0.82

01:00:02.540 using to nuke Iran. 100% they have the capability to hit us. Because it's a really, they're saying, 0.86

01:00:09.300 They have really long-range missiles

01:00:10.580 because Diego Garcia is really far away.

01:00:12.520 What should happen?

01:00:13.140 It's a UK-based on US.

01:00:14.220 I think they both kind of use it.

01:00:15.640 Next.

01:00:17.120 You got to go put an end to it.

01:00:20.740 If that's the position, Tom,

01:00:21.940 are you firm with what you just said right there?

01:00:23.200 You have to be.

01:00:23.980 If you know 100% they have it.

01:00:25.460 If I know 100% for a fact and you showed me,

01:00:27.880 I saw it.

01:00:28.240 I'm telling you, let's just say there is 100%.

01:00:29.980 You're sitting in the situation room.

01:00:31.460 What should we do next, Vinny?

01:00:32.640 Whatever we're doing right now,

01:00:33.820 you have to ramp it up and get it over with

01:00:34.860 because guess what?

01:00:35.560 If, like I said earlier,

01:00:36.320 once they get that desperate,

01:00:37.520 then they could do what else?

01:00:38.280 what else are they hiding from us that you don't know you have to take them out like why is it

01:00:40.840 taking so long just take it all out go for it you're take it all out take it all out is he also 0.97

01:00:44.400 jewish let me know just take it all out just nuke him slowly doing this mission take every 0.95

01:00:50.400 because that we can't don't like i don't like that for them to try to look at his face too like they 0.99

01:00:53.680 look uglier i don't recommend people go the neocon route like maybe you'll make money but it just

01:00:58.880 leaves something on your face and your soul that you can't repair you don't look well then they

01:01:04.040 know where every missile is they know what every capability is they need to just do it if i know

01:01:07.180 for a fact that that's the truth get it over with destroy it so destroy it what happened to the

01:01:11.960 liberation that was a narrative three weeks ago and everyone seems to have forgotten but you know

01:01:18.680 look how easy it is to ratio pbd over and over again this post here pbd like people like oh it's

01:01:22.980 one of the biggest podcasts in the world you're mad that they won't have you on yeah bro look 2k

01:01:26.780 likes i just put a dot with 7.4 it's so easy bro every day every day if we know nobody likes

01:01:33.100 100 percent they have long-range missiles other stuff for my tweets before we cover the news and

01:01:38.060 also i'm looking forward to this propaganda co-interview um i haven't when i was sick i

01:01:46.020 was been doing a lot more research on malcolm x and watching his speeches back

01:01:48.700 it was funny because you know i'll be transparent when academics yesterday or last stream was saying

01:01:56.040 what do you what's your call to action what do you do because i don't just want to be a streamer

01:02:00.320 right now you know i do want to transcend that obviously before and even then you know i'm a

01:02:05.040 filmmaker and stuff but there is a lack malcolm x's his role has not been filled ever since he

01:02:12.000 was assassinated not saying i'm not trying to be become but for somebody to unite american muslims

01:02:18.060 being that a focus on that especially amidst all this propaganda don't turn into a fashion designer

01:02:25.560 Yeah, well, you know where I think my goal is, where maybe I could be effective, is trying to be unifying to American Muslims the way Malcolm X was.

01:02:37.760 Obviously, we're very different.

01:02:39.360 You know, he's very intellectual and I have a long way to go.

01:02:43.980 And obviously, he had a major focus on the black community.

01:02:46.920 I'm barely black.

01:02:48.340 But I think that that could be something effective is trying to bring American Muslims together.

01:02:53.280 And I noticed that maybe I have that opportunity after the Times Square prayer, how they were fixating on me.

01:03:00.620 So maybe that's something to look towards.

01:03:05.200 Anyway, this guy, Mehdi Hassan.

01:03:11.420 I want to speak to Mehdi Hassan.

01:03:12.760 I don't know how to reach out to him.

01:03:13.820 I don't know if anybody knows.

01:03:15.940 And I think the reason that Mehdi Hassan will be apprehensive to communicate with somebody like me

01:03:22.080 is because he focuses on leftism so much,

01:03:23.960 leftism, leftism.

01:03:24.960 But a simple question I could ask somebody

01:03:26.380 like Mehdi Hassan is what comes first,

01:03:28.320 Islam or leftism?

01:03:29.440 What's your priority?

01:03:31.680 Because he keeps talking about,

01:03:32.580 oh, the right, the right says this,

01:03:33.700 the right does.

01:03:34.620 And I think that that's playing 0.60

01:03:36.040 into the Zionist propaganda even more.

01:03:38.040 It's not about left or right. 0.69

01:03:39.040 It's about right and wrong.

01:03:41.220 So I'd love to speak to him.

01:03:42.060 He's a very intelligent guy and he does well.

01:03:44.120 And he's done better than me

01:03:45.580 in debates about Palestine and the genocide,

01:03:47.500 something that I can learn from.

01:03:49.320 So I would like to speak to him.

01:03:52.080 um yeah propagandico was tweeting this he felt an explosion last night i hope he stays safe

01:03:59.520 um there was there other stuff for my tweets that i need to touch on i'm sure there was

01:04:04.200 well i guess also this do you see this in tel aviv all the birds and maybe you'll think

01:04:09.600 this is schizo these are the crows leaving tel

01:04:12.200 in islam we believe that they are the protectors there's so many birds in mecca medina and i have 0.79

01:04:20.880 shown extensively how they don't lay feces on the holy site they leave the holy area literally right

01:04:27.920 on the border to leave poop or they just go right into the trash cans like they've been trained

01:04:31.900 but here they are leaving in a mat they did multiple circles and then they leave what's 0.71

01:04:36.880 beautiful if you ever go to medina you could see the birds circling around the masjids circling

01:04:41.180 and circling and circling and again i know that there's some omens about this and maybe that 0.94

01:04:46.420 just spooked out because there's all this bombing happening but this has traditionally always been

01:04:50.980 a foreshadow people have known that if the birds don't feel safe there then something is going to

01:04:54.740 happen they're leaving because perhaps they know something that we don't tel aviv is probably cooked

01:05:08.420 let me look through my other tweets i have a minute i'm supposed to call propaganda and co

01:05:12.020 Wait a second. Oh, this edit.

01:05:42.020 yes he's dead but his ideas are alive his legacy is intact

01:05:56.580 so he's not defeated there okay let's go call propaganda and co

01:06:00.980 his name is ahmed correct we had a great call last time man he's the journalist

01:06:04.420 inside iran right now and since we called him he's been doing great work let's give him a call

01:06:12.580 hopefully his wi-fi is better i'm going to call this is your voice call it's probably

01:06:17.300 it's not going to be good enough for

01:06:36.740 come on man

01:06:42.740 okay they fixed the bots we're back at 5k views that's good man

01:06:51.220 hit a little bit of a rut after the ramadan streams and i think we're already right back to it

01:06:57.540 come on pick up

01:07:02.580 called you can you call me let's just wait for his call then i'll keep my phone open

01:07:06.740 keep my phone open right here

01:07:11.100 it capped you a 5k view capping is like the biggest cap ever from streamers coping okay and

01:07:18.920 so here's uh here's the boomers right now american citizens at the airport let's let's see when you

01:07:23.700 see ice agents you know being deployed what goes through your mind i like it i mean i think trump

01:07:31.060 Most of the travelers we spoke with say while it's disappointing the current shutdown is

01:07:36.740 having a negative impact on TSA staff, they're pleased to see ICE agents stepping in.

01:07:41.460 They're protecting us.

01:07:42.580 Yeah, they're doing a good job.

01:07:44.180 I mean, what are they getting? Are they in dangerous way at the airport? So there's major

01:07:49.300 airport closures. I've seen people are missing their flights. But again, I think the important

01:07:54.820 thing to take away from this video is that this is who is supporting Trump now. This is his core.

01:07:59.380 it's not anybody young it's not the youth it's these people that have benefited so much from

01:08:04.300 american empire provided nothing and just keep on voting in the same warhawks while destroying the 0.98

01:08:10.760 future of this place i like it he's doing a hell of a job these voters why america sucks leave it 0.93

01:08:17.320 to the boomers it is why dominating the voting bloc not caring about us no this one's funny

01:08:23.020 and this is the propaganda that they believe in pete do you want to give about a three minute

01:08:27.360 statement on how we're doing in this as i call it military operation people don't like me using the

01:08:35.380 word war but so i won't but the democrats go out of war we've won this with this war has been won

01:08:41.040 what do you talk bro it's just it's insulting to our intelligence in the same speech

01:08:46.480 they left the democrats fake news they call it a war we just won that war embarrassing

01:08:52.440 it's how can you defend any of this the only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news

01:09:00.100 do you want to get the fake news who's calling it a war the fake news are saying i didn't won

01:09:05.300 the war that's not a war it's the democrat left covering up the epstein files and calling it a 0.60

01:09:10.840 war that we just won what he's senile he's he has dementia he's losing his mind everything that

01:09:19.400 they accused joe biden of trump is now guilty of embarrassing 0.50
