Transcript

00:00:00.000 Okay, so Ramaphosa was talking about Elon Musk the other day.
00:00:03.900 I don't know if you've seen this clip or not.
00:00:05.420 Have you seen it?
00:00:06.020 No.
00:00:06.300 Okay, Rob, can you pull up this clip?
00:00:07.740 Here's Ramaphosa talking about...
00:00:09.020 Is it the Stalin one?
00:00:10.060 This is the one right here.
00:00:11.140 Go ahead and play this clip, Rob.
00:00:12.100 Go for it.
00:00:13.080 ...having to do with Stalin.
00:00:14.700 So I know about it and have even...
00:00:20.700 Yes, I know about it.
00:00:24.200 Do you like Elon Musk?
00:00:25.260 Let me say to you, I have had...
00:00:33.140 Elon Musk is South African-born American now.
00:00:39.400 I have had discussions with him and have said,
00:00:44.820 Elon, you've become so successful
00:00:48.380 and you are investing in a variety of countries.
00:00:52.540 I want you to come home and invest here.
00:00:56.020 So he and I are going to have a further discussion
00:00:59.620 about a variety of things.
00:01:03.120 Whatever one may think about him,
00:01:05.100 he is a hugely successful business person
00:01:09.080 and having had those discussions with him.
00:01:14.200 To advance the interests of South Africans
00:01:17.120 and he runs widespread businesses
00:01:21.540 and in many ways he's already invested in South Africa
00:01:24.180 through his ex-online process,
00:01:30.300 which used to be Twitter.
00:01:31.480 So he's already present in our lives as South Africans.
00:01:36.220 So I will be taking further discussions about...
00:01:41.160 What's the likelihood of that happening?
00:01:42.220 Zero.
00:01:42.620 Zero.
00:01:43.440 Zero.
00:01:43.800 Elon Musk and Donald J. Trump
00:01:47.560 know that it is absolutely pointless investing in South Africa.
00:01:53.600 All you're doing is rewarding the ANC
00:01:55.780 for their socialist and racist policies.
00:01:58.480 The three fundamental bases need to be tomorrow,
00:02:01.780 need to be,
00:02:03.480 we will not do trade with you,
00:02:05.140 we will not help you,
00:02:06.100 in fact we're going to punish you
00:02:07.500 unless you repeal black economic empowerment laws,
00:02:12.140 expropriation without compensation,
00:02:16.460 and you withdraw the Iran-funded ICJ case against Israel.
00:02:23.020 Iran funded the ANC to put that case against Israel.
00:02:29.540 Iran funded?
00:02:30.660 Iran funded the ANC,
00:02:32.860 they sent money to the ANC,
00:02:34.080 and part of that money
00:02:36.300 allowed the ANC on behalf of Iran
00:02:39.800 to file the ICJ genocide case against Israel.
00:02:46.060 And this is when,
00:02:47.220 so the acronym IGCA
00:02:48.940 refers to the International Court of Justice,
00:02:52.320 South Africa against Israel,
00:02:53.560 formerly titled Application of the Convention of the Prevention
00:02:56.420 and Punishment of Crime, Genocide, and Gaza.
00:02:58.380 Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of it.
00:03:01.440 Allegation,
00:03:01.960 South Africa accuses Israel of committing genocide
00:03:03.840 against Palestinians in Gaza,
00:03:05.180 violating the 1948 Genocide Convention.
00:03:07.840 The application points to actions
00:03:09.680 like killing Palestinians,
00:03:10.800 causing serious harm,
00:03:11.660 deliberately creating conditions to destroy the group,
00:03:13.720 and preventing worse.
00:03:14.400 Why would South Africa,
00:03:16.000 of all the countries in the world,
00:03:18.000 out of the blue,
00:03:19.500 accuse Israel of genocide through ICJ?
00:03:22.640 Are they the first one that did it?
00:03:24.100 They're the only ones that did it.
00:03:25.720 And you know why they did it?
00:03:26.940 Iran paid them to do it.
00:03:31.080 Just type in Iran funding, ICJ case.
00:03:38.860 Yes, it says Iran did fund,
00:03:40.600 support ANC,
00:03:41.800 African National Congress,
00:03:43.760 during the anti-apartheid struggle,
00:03:46.040 particularly in the 80s,
00:03:47.200 although the support was relatively limited
00:03:48.760 compared to other international backers
00:03:50.860 like the Soviet Union, Cuba,
00:03:52.060 and Scandinavian countries,
00:03:53.420 but it did.
00:03:54.380 After 1977,
00:03:55.280 the Islamic Revolution in Iran
00:03:56.420 began supporting liberation movements
00:03:57.900 that opposed Western-backed regimes,
00:04:00.480 of course,
00:04:01.260 and the Yank fighting apartheid
00:04:03.240 and white minority rule in South Africa
00:04:04.760 fit this narrative.
00:04:06.920 Interesting.
00:04:07.520 Do you know,
00:04:08.060 South Africa is one of the top 10 countries
00:04:10.760 in the world
00:04:11.260 that votes against America
00:04:13.500 in all UN resolutions.
00:04:17.200 South Africa pokes America in the eye.
00:04:19.320 allies with Russia,
00:04:22.160 China,
00:04:22.560 and Iran
00:04:23.040 openly supports Hamas,
00:04:25.820 files a case against Israel
00:04:27.180 through the ICJ,
00:04:29.000 creates racist and socialist laws at home
00:04:31.420 to persecute white Indian
00:04:33.900 and colored minorities.
00:04:34.900 And for 20 years,
00:04:39.160 the pathetic Europe and UK
00:04:40.520 have said nothing
00:04:41.280 and America's never had
00:04:43.020 a foreign policy in Africa
00:04:44.400 until Donald J. Trump arrived
00:04:46.880 in January this year.
00:04:48.320 And he knows exactly what's going on
00:04:50.760 and he's had enough.
00:04:52.620 He is not sending any more money
00:04:54.440 to South Africa
00:04:55.100 and he's going to punish South Africa,
00:04:58.460 hopefully individuals,
00:05:00.160 not the country,
00:05:00.800 for this anti-American
00:05:02.820 and anti-Semitic
00:05:04.180 and anti-white policies.
00:05:08.380 And how do you think
00:05:09.960 he's going to react to it?
00:05:11.540 Cyril,
00:05:12.060 how do you think
00:05:12.440 he's going to react to it?
00:05:14.220 He's a sock puppet.
00:05:17.180 Cyril is a jellyfish
00:05:19.020 with no spine.
00:05:22.020 He's charming.
00:05:23.540 He comes across well
00:05:24.620 and that's why he fools
00:05:26.680 a lot of the big
00:05:27.360 South African corporates
00:05:28.380 and I'm not going to name
00:05:29.500 one of the big ones.
00:05:30.600 He's taken in by Cyril
00:05:31.780 and he's, I think,
00:05:32.960 flying to Washington today
00:05:34.440 to be with Cyril
00:05:35.560 to meet Donald Trump.
00:05:41.180 Cyril's intention
00:05:43.200 is to explain
00:05:44.800 to Donald Trump
00:05:45.540 and the administration
00:05:46.640 the reality of South Africa.
00:05:49.800 But Donald Trump,
00:05:50.460 Elon Musk
00:05:51.000 and the administration
00:05:52.320 are no fools.
00:05:53.200 They know exactly
00:05:53.820 what's going on.
00:05:55.520 So I am hoping
00:05:56.840 Cyril Romopoulos
00:05:58.360 gets the Zelensky
00:05:59.500 times 10 treatment.
00:06:01.240 I'm hoping.
00:06:03.020 But I think Marco Rubio
00:06:04.320 is the one
00:06:04.640 who's going to do it.
00:06:05.660 Why?
00:06:07.460 Because I think
00:06:08.240 Donald Trump
00:06:09.900 wants to keep
00:06:10.660 his position
00:06:12.520 open
00:06:13.560 to see how it goes.
00:06:15.360 But Marco Rubio
00:06:16.460 is going to read
00:06:16.980 the riot act
00:06:17.600 to the delegation
00:06:18.700 that's flown over
00:06:19.440 and so he should.
00:06:22.060 America should say
00:06:23.000 to South Africa,
00:06:23.960 we are not going
00:06:24.780 to help in any way.
00:06:25.880 In fact,
00:06:26.180 we're going to punish you
00:06:27.060 unless you immediately
00:06:28.240 do those three things
00:06:29.200 that I mentioned.
00:06:30.160 Remove EWC,
00:06:31.340 expropriation
00:06:31.980 without compensation.
00:06:34.200 Repeal black empowerment laws,
00:06:36.020 get rid of them.
00:06:36.920 And American companies
00:06:37.760 should refuse to obey them
00:06:38.980 and withdraw the case
00:06:41.360 from the ICJ.
00:06:42.320 You do those three things,
00:06:43.400 we can talk.
00:06:44.100 What's the likelihood
00:06:45.180 of that happening?
00:06:47.840 Because those are big asks.
00:06:50.340 But they,
00:06:51.020 I mean,
00:06:51.280 I think it's 50,
00:06:53.240 60 percent
00:06:54.280 if you go to polymarket
00:06:55.340 and ask.
00:06:55.960 And if they don't,
00:06:57.460 I think America
00:06:58.060 should kick them back
00:06:59.160 to say leave,
00:07:00.740 go,
00:07:01.340 go home.
00:07:03.200 And then,
00:07:05.040 I'm putting myself
00:07:06.440 at risk here,
00:07:07.000 by the way.
00:07:08.640 And then America
00:07:09.920 should,
00:07:11.100 and they've already
00:07:11.700 done it,
00:07:12.460 Ronnie Jackson,
00:07:13.100 Congressman Ronnie Jackson
00:07:14.980 has already put
00:07:16.580 a bill that's going
00:07:17.860 to Congress
00:07:18.460 about punishing
00:07:19.720 individual South Africans
00:07:20.900 using Magnitsky,
00:07:22.160 SDN,
00:07:23.240 just do Ronnie Jackson here.
00:07:25.480 Now there he is.
00:07:26.940 And Ronnie Jackson,
00:07:28.500 South African bill.
00:07:31.360 Rob,
00:07:32.040 can you tap
00:07:32.380 in Ronnie Jackson,
00:07:33.180 South African bill?
00:07:39.740 There we go.
00:07:43.100 There we go.
00:07:45.700 This was a month ago.
00:07:47.740 South Africa
00:07:48.200 has brazenly abandoned
00:07:49.100 its relationship
00:07:49.780 with the United States
00:07:50.440 to align with China,
00:07:51.300 Russia,
00:07:51.600 Iran,
00:07:51.900 and terrorist organizations
00:07:52.740 of betrayal
00:07:53.160 that demand serious
00:07:53.840 consequences.
00:07:54.480 The legislation
00:07:55.020 ensures we conduct
00:07:55.920 a comprehensive review
00:07:57.700 of the supposed ally
00:07:58.940 while also holding
00:07:59.840 accountable any corrupt
00:08:00.820 officials.
00:08:01.300 The air of governments
00:08:01.940 undermining American
00:08:02.680 interests without repercussions
00:08:04.540 ends now.
00:08:06.880 Interesting.
00:08:07.860 Okay.
00:08:08.060 So that's moving forward.
00:08:09.860 Yeah.
00:08:10.620 So Ramaphosa knows
00:08:12.600 this is underway.
00:08:14.580 He's on the list.
00:08:17.480 He needs to kiss the ring.
00:08:19.420 He needs to give up
00:08:20.560 on these racist
00:08:21.520 and socialist policies
00:08:22.720 and start to put
00:08:23.920 South Africa first
00:08:24.960 and not the ANC.
00:08:25.760 Who does he fear more,
00:08:26.740 Trump or Zuma?
00:08:28.880 That's a very,
00:08:29.980 very good question.
00:08:32.080 That's a very good question.
00:08:33.620 Nowadays,
00:08:34.360 more than ever,
00:08:35.260 the brand you wear
00:08:36.400 reflects and represent
00:08:37.560 who you are.
00:08:38.260 So for us,
00:08:39.400 if you wear
00:08:40.240 a Future Looks Bright hat
00:08:41.920 or a Valuetainment gear,
00:08:43.600 you're telling the world,
00:08:44.980 I'm optimistic,
00:08:46.220 I'm excited about
00:08:46.980 what's going to be happening,
00:08:47.820 but you're a free thinker,
00:08:48.740 you question things,
00:08:49.480 you like debate.
00:08:50.360 And by the way,
00:08:51.020 last year,
00:08:51.640 120,000 people
00:08:53.940 got a piece of
00:08:55.700 Future Looks Bright gear
