So today is the day we've all been waiting for. Grock 420 goes live. So that's Grock 4.2. The beta is beginning to roll out. And this model is weird because it's not really one model. It's actually four models arguing with each other before they talk to you. I'm not sure if anybody expected this. So Grock 4.0 introduces a four agent multi-agent collaboration system, but this isn't Grock Heavy. In Gro Heavy, you can have four agents running in parallel, but there those are four instances of separate agents. This this is different. All right, so let's start with kind of the easy stuff and then go into kind of the more weird stuff. Okay, so we got the four agents. This is kind of the core innovation. So if you ask it a complex query, it triggers all four agents simultaneously. Our main agent, if you will, that's Grock. That's the captain of the ship. This is the coordinator. So he breaks down the tasks, hands off the tasks to different agents, formulates the strategy, right? He's the boss, he's the captain. He also apparently resolves conflict between the other agents and then he kind of sums everything up, synthesizes the final answer and presents it to you. So imagine Grock as a sort of on top of the pyramid and underneath him you have three employees or sub agents, however you want to think of that. First we have Harper. Harper is the research and facts agent. This is the fact checker. This is the one that's running realtime searches drinking from the X fire hose. So, TwitterX has something like 68 million English tweets every single day, right? It's this fire hose of information. And Harper, that agent is the one that's like drinking it all in, trying to sort it, gathering evidence, verifying claims. And Harper is the reason why Grock 420 has a near real-time awareness of breaking events. In the short period of time that I've been messing around with Crock 420, I gotta say it seems much more up to-date, it has a lot more sources. And as of right now, for real-time 

Saturday the 14th of February. There's all this stuff that people have been talking about that what Epstein was up to, who was connected to him, who was benefiting from it, who was involved in these horrific activities involving children and women and men and boys and girls. But there's another aspect to what he was up to, and that is just as toxic for humanity. And that's what we're going to talk about in this video. Hey Jamie, thank you so much for making yourself available for uh this is this is a follow-up video to the one we did about how Trump is taking down the United Nations or could be taking down the United Nations bit by bit. And this one is about this other aspect that of Epstein's activities that project that ties into that first video. >> Mhm. Yeah. >> Okay. Say more about that. So what we spoke about was the role that foundations play in funding nos and legitimizing their policies through the United Nations. It's it's uh control and policy from above. It's a not a di uh a democratic work pipe flow if you if that's the right word to say. So that we that we we spoke about that in the last show in detail and they rely on a certain amount of working in the shadows to operate. They uh are looking to kind of make sure nothing triggers suspicion against them or damages their moral authority or invites deeper scrutiny. They they need to remain to function properly uh as a background player. who who are who sorry who are these days >> we're talking about the foundations talking about the uh Rockefeller Foundation Gates Foundation uh a myriad of foundations there's there's there's uh about 10 core foundations that fund the UN but then there's multiple uh foundations that fall into this system that fund NOS and work with the NGO ind with the United Nations indirectly So, it's a whole industry, a whole ecosystem of of philanthropy, which arguably some of it uh is going to be good for the world, but a lot of it is anti-democratic. And I think what we're seeing now

Monday the 16th of February, is the United States gonna attack Iran? And how will Israel respond? And how will Iran respond? That's what we're going to talk about in this video. Hey, Joseie, what are you? >> Hello. How are you? >> I'm good, man. Is the United States going to attack Iran? >> I don't think that's a simple question in the slightest. >> Oh, I think it was a good hook. The whole thing was a hook for the beginning of this video. Everybody stay listening. I think if Trump could get the deal he wants from Iran, which is probably like not possible, but I think if he can even get close, I think he'll take it. >> I don't think he >> What is the deal that he wants? >> He wants no nuclear enrichment. He wants the the material that they've already enriched to 90% to be taken out of the country. He wants limitations on their missile program and and some sort of problem that they won't, you know, just kill 10,000 protesters every weekend and stuff like that. Um, I don't think they'll agree to any of that, but you never know. The question is, what will he do if they don't agree to it? Is he going to just go after their missile programs and their nuclear programs and just go from there? Is he going for regime change? Um, we know what they'll do if if anyone attacks, whether it be America, Israel, or both. They're going to launch missiles at Israel, and probably at American bases. So, what what will that mean? Who knows? Again, the wild card is what will what will either of them do in the event of of a mass casualty event, right? Like they could shoot missiles all day at Israel, but if like one two people die like in every now and then, like Israel can put up with quite a bit. But if they hit like an apartment building, let's say, and kill like a couple hundred people, that there's no way Israel can put up with that. And it's the same with an American base. If they if they are shooting missiles all day long at the American base at Sencom and in Qatar, America doesn't 

There is a revolution taking place in the United States that no one is talking about. This revolution is going to make Americans a whole lot richer. That's what we're going to talk about in this video. Hey Ben, thank you so much for making yourself available. >> Yeah, happy to be here. >> You are the president of Prometheian Action. So you are of the Susan Kokinda, Barbara Boyd, Mike Steiger stable, born out of Larouche and the uh advocates for the American system of political economy. >> Yep. Absolutely. Proudly to be working with those guys. Yeah. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. And uh I said Mike Steer, I hope to have him on my channel soon to talk about um some radical revolutionary issue that will give uh Americans sovereignty and set an example to the rest of the world about what's possible. >> Yeah, he's doing great work. Yeah, I'm sure you enjoy that. Yeah. >> Yes. And I was saying to you beforehand if I mean if people want to know about the American system of political economy, go and see what Ibrahim Trouore is doing in Bkina Faso. And I've done a couple of videos on that and hopefully I'll do some more. But th what is this revolution, this energy revolution in the United States? >> Yeah. So, this is huge. The President Trump and the head of our EPA, which are is our environmental protection agency. Uh Lee Zeldon is the guy that heads that. They just announced the reversal of something that's been was known as the endangerment finding. And the the this was an Obama era ruling that claimed that greenhouse gases, a number of them, but most importantly CO2, they declared these as literal pollutants, >> right? >> And that gave them the justification under other laws to do all kinds of regulations and demands and and enforce all kinds of craziness under the claim that CO2 is a pollutant. Right now, we can get into this a little bit. Anybody that's taken basic biology or, you know, knows about the how life works, calling CO2 a pollutant is pretty absurd. It's pretty insane. T

Saturday the 14th of February, a few weeks ago, Donald Trump said the US is no going no longer going to fund something like 66 United Nation related organizations. What impact is that going to have on the UN? What's the UN really really about? And is Donald Trump going to destroy the United Nations? That's what we're going to talk about in this video. Hey Jamie, thank you so much for making yourself available. Tell me, is Donald Trump destroying the United Nations? >> Um, good question. And I'm not going to answer that STRAIGHT AWAY. >> OH, >> what I think we should do is try and work that out for ourselves by going through what the United Nations is. Let's recap. >> Okay. Briefly, before you do that, there was there were 66 organizations. Were they UN related subsidiaries? >> Yeah. just just um basically departments I would say that there's various relationships and how they're structured and and funded is just a web of of really uh difficult stuff to follow and deliberately boring. It's this tier of information that we're going to go through now that I think they deliberately make difficult to understand. But we're going to try and get an overview of >> Okay. >> the system of the United Nations today. >> Okay. Now, you did say to me before we started recording that they make it deliberately boring. >> And uh just on that, that's really really interesting because it makes it impenetrable. Nobody wants to go through that stuff cuz it's so boring. >> Mhm. >> And I've noticed that like for example reading the um I think was it the 2012 UN replacement program about bringing in lots and lots of people from Africa and the Middle East and Asia into Western nations through an open borders policy. >> And I contrast that with the national security strategy from the United States that was published a couple of months ago. I read that. It was really well written. It was really well written. >> Interesting >> and and interesting to read. punchy language sharp just and it was li

North of the United States is this little country called Canada, which is a very important little country, and no disrespect to any Canadians, but Trump wants to take over Canada, it would seem, and Alberta looks like it's going to split from Canada and join the United States.

Hey Sean, thank you so much for making yourself available. First time on my channel, Mr. Newman. >> Yes, crypto. Great, great to be here. I mean, honestly, appreciate the invite. >> Yeah, and by the way, please call me Rich cuz this is on Rich does politics. >> Oh, Rich. Well, my apologies. >> I had to drop the crypto so as not to confuse people. No problem. Um, no, my my introduction wasn't >> Well, I I don't mean to demean a small country on the top of it. Yeah, I didn't mean to demean Canada, you know. >> Canadians are lovely. Canadians are absolutely lovely, but they all live in this little band just north of the north of the border and the rest of it mostly empty. And Alberta wants to split, it would seem. So, so tell me about that. >> Well, I mean, you've been in this bad relationship, right? And and people can point to the economics of it. There's lots lots there. You can point to the the how our parliament or just politics in general works and you can point out a bunch there on how it's just lopsided. It favors the East. Um, money favors the East. You know, the larger populations out in the east. So they just get, you know, okay, fair enough. Okay, so we can all whatever. And so you just keep just let us do our thing and that is oil. We have the third largest reserve on the planet, right? Wow. After Russia and the United States or or Venezuela, >> Venezuela is number two. >> Venezuela is number two. So Venezuela Well, now you got me question is number three. Who's number one and two? That's

What's going on in the US? Is Trump's administration going to survive all the brick bats, all the propaganda, all the stuff that's being thrown in it? Thrown. Let me do that again. >> That was terrible. >> Yeah. >> Make sure your son Make sure your son uses it. >> Thank you again. Please like, comment, subscribe, and give us a thumbs up.

The Democrats are going to win the midterms later on this year. Trump's going to get impeached. They're going to have such an unassalable majority because they've got such great ideas and visions for America and just such incredible political leaders. Yes Susan. Well, uh, you know, look, it it's I mean, that's that's the Democrat's dream. Of course, that's the British dream. Um, and I I think the the the only weapon that we really have to be afraid of, you know, from the standpoint of undercutting Trump is, you know, the full spectrum psychological warfare against the American people where they're diverted on, you know, the anti-ICE narrative. They're diverted on the Epstein narrative. You know, everybody in the ruling class rapes and eats babies. uh you know they're diverted on everything rather than being laser focused on the fact that what Donald Trump is doing right now is absolutely historic. is literally rebuilding the American system of political economy brick by brick and I don't mean BR I um uh you know and and reestablishing our national economic sovereignty very consciously and the implications of that for the for the average American here's the problem we have a lot of them aren't feeling it big time yet um I mean you can throw the statistics out in terms of core inflation and other things, but for your average working family, maybe if you're in manufacturing or construction, you got a better job, your wages are going up. It hasn't quite the the impact of

The Epstein files have been released causing scandals everywhere. UK government, Norwegian royal family, billionaires all over the place, all of them in trouble because they've had shown to have ties with Epstein. But is anyone going to get prosecuted?

Sorry this took so much to get it scheduled, man. >> Hey, not a problem. Not a problem. We are all so busy and there's so much going on. It's Friday the 13th of February as we record this and you >> I know I had a little apprehension about doing this on the 13th. Just saying. Not that I'm superstitious, but I could be. >> No, I bring only good cheer, right? despite what we're going to start talking about, which is the Epstein files and the the hearing, the Senate hearing for Pam Bondi, which happened yesterday, which I didn't listen to. >> You didn't miss anything? >> I didn't miss anything. >> You didn't miss anything? So, I don't typically watch congressional hearings for for two really succinct reasons. One's, they don't go anywhere, and two, it's mostly theatrics. But optics matter right now because you we're in a war for public opinion. And in the information space, what you care about is you care about influencing the population, right? And there's not a lot of calculus there. It's you want to make sure the message that you're sending is a message that resonates with the population, number one, and number two is believable. So, she was asked uh you know, and again, when you take the theatrics out of it, a 4-minute question by some Democratic senator, Republican senator, whatever, when you get down to the brass tax of it, they asked her three very three very important questions. Number one, how

There is an underbelly to Ukraine, to what is happening in Ukraine that isn't being talked about, which is how it's being destroyed economically and financially. That's what we'll talk about in this video. Thank you again. Please like, comment, subscribe, and give us a thumbs up. And you'll find all the links for the guests in the description below. Hey, Yoken. Thank you so much making yourself available. >> Hey, thanks for having me. Good morning. >> Good morning indeed. And you mentioned uh just before we started recording about how the city of London are destroying Ukraine, but wait a minute, we're on the the Brits are on the side of Ukraine. They want to defeat that terrible Putin and thwart his imperial ambitions to conquer all of Europe. Yes. Yeah. It's a it is a complicated but easy to explain story if you understand what the aim of the war in Ukraine actually is. And once you understand what the aim is, you can see how they are pitching it to um investors um as a win-win. And uh and only with that angle do we appreciate that in in their own losing um the they believe that they're winning. And um it really boils down to um what was actually going to happen with Ukraine in the first place. So if you go back to 20 years ago with the orange revolution, right? This was a color revolution staged by the west in Ukraine against a an outcome of an election of a democratically uh elected president in Ukraine >> with Yanukovic, right? >> Yes. And um so with uh the the the race was between um Yusenko and Yanukovich. And um so uh they did a color revolution and reversed the electoral outcome. What that tells you about what the election that they had before the orange revolution was that you know maybe it's 52% maybe it's 70% but a majority and that's how elections work you know take it or leave it that's how they function a majority of Ukrainians wanted to have balanced relations between Russia and Europe uh some a little bit more Europe leaning others is a little bit mo

Thursday the 12th of February, a day before the Munich Security Conference starts. A couple of years ago, after the Munich Security Conference, the war between Ukraine and Russia broke out. What's going to happen after this one? That's what we're going to talk about in this video. Thank you again. Please like, comment, subscribe, and give us a thumbs up. And you'll find all the links for the guests in the description below. >> Hey Bla. Hey Vladimir. Thank you so much for making yourselves available. Really appreciate this. We had a conversation about Israel and Iran and the United States and Russia, but now we're going to be talking about the European Union and how committed they are to getting along with their neighbors in Russia and how they just want peace and they want lots of industrial development for their own citizenry and for them to prosper. So Vladimir, do you want to tell us about the Munich Security Conference and what we what we can look forward to? Well uh uh when I hear the words security Munich security conference there before anything that is going to happen tomorrow and a couple of days later what I have immediately two associations with the words Munich security conference one is Putin's speech to the Munich security conference in 2007 uh and the other one uh a Munich security conference was Zilinsk's speech in 200 22 and I think that's the good point to start talking about MU Munich Security Conference because both of these speeches are historic in a way because they defined the actions of many countries uh for many years after. Now in 2007 it was the first time that Putin uh questioned what he termed um American globalist agenda and globalist agenda generally. He criticized severely the US involvement in the Iraq war and uh you know he criticized expansion of NATO for the first time. uh and he basically said that this course of divi dividing uh Europe uh from Russia uh and expanding NATO he he started elaborating on these things that later on l

A week or so ago, the nuclear start treaty between the Russia and the United States lapsed. There is no treaty anymore, and it looks like there's going to be a drive for more nuclear weapons. Could this lead to nuclear war? That's what we're going to talk about in this video. Thank you again. Please like, comment, subscribe, and give us a thumbs up. And you'll find all the links for the guests in the description below. All right. Tuesday, 10th of February. I'm joined by retired Brigadier General Blaine Halt and not retired Larouchian General Harley Schlanganger. I'll have all the Hey Harley, I'll have all the links in the description below where people can find you. Harley, you mentioned something just before we started recording about a report from the um US government. >> No, the Heritage Foundation. >> The Heritage Foundation. Sorry. Do you want do you want to say what that is and also give a little bit of a background? Well, the expiration of the New Start agreement uh was seen as a test as to whether the idea of a new relationship between Russia and the United States could take hold. And I still think that President Trump is is hopeful for with his discussions with Putin that there they can do something more. Uh but this is a a turning point, a change because now there's no agreement between Russia and the United States on the amount of nuclear weapons, the testing and things of that sort. And so this report was actually from October 2025 uh from the Heritage Foundation, which is a conservative think tank that put out some of the discussion of what the second Trump term would be. Uh this is a proposal by someone named Robert Peters titled the US nuclear arsenal of 2050. A proposal for American survival and it calls for a tripling of the amount of nuclear weapons the US has uh 3,500 strategic weapons, 1125 nonstrategic in an arsenal in three theaters that includes the Indo-Pacific, Europe and the United States. uh total of for 4,625 operationally deployed nuclea

Good evening, gentlemen, on the 10th of February. >> Great to be with you. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I'll have the links where people can find you in the description below. And the country that I'm talking about that we're going to be talking about is the United Kingdom. >> Ah, what? Aha. Yes, Harley. What is going on in the United Kingdom? >> Well, the United Kingdom is just a step ahead of other places, but the rot at the top is incredible. the idea that you have a leadership that can so blatantly misjudge the response to immorality. And I I just just before we came on, I I saw there was an article that said that uh they've now discovered that Starmer had been briefed on Mandelen's closeness to Epstein. So what what you find is that the lies that are told are compounded. the uh corruption is compounded and I think the important thing that's coming out now is that the corruption is not just the abuse of children which in itself ought to be a dismissible offense that is someone in government who's doing that ought to be taken out and put in prison but it's part of an overall pattern of abuse of the the office abuse of the country abuse of the voters um it's a corrupt corruption that you you can't even I mean I I've been writing about it and it takes me four or five pages just to get the the first couple steps covered. So you know we can discuss it but it it really does reflect what we've been talking about at the Schiller Institute the breakdown of an imperial system. >> And you know it took 400 years or so for Rome to break down. It's we're now probably in about the 40th or 50th year of the breakdown of the western colonial system, b

Trump keeps making threats towards Iran. Meanwhile, Iran has very close relationship with Putin. How can Trump make threats to Iran when Putin's in the background? That's what we're going to talk about in this video. Thank you again. Please like, comment, subscribe, and give us a thumbs up. And you'll find all the links for the guests in the description below. Isn't that right, Alex? Trump going to war with Iran and Iran's got Russia in its corner. >> Well, I I I think this is an extremely interesting uh conflict to observe because uh I you know I've been I've been very convinced that Trump will try to do everything he possibly can to avoid going to war against Iran. And uh I think that this this last episode which is which is ongoing at the moment is has brought has borne out some proof of that because we know that uh they have they have been negotiated. So what's today? Today is Monday 9th. On Friday the 6th uh the uh Witkov Kushner and uh the uh the Sentcom commander Admiral uh Brad Cooper. They all met in U Oman was it? Yeah. >> Um and they had a discussion and uh well the Iranians appear to have hardened their stance. They've rejected everything that the American side was asking for. Um and uh but you know the positive news is that they are uh they are due to meet again uh on Friday this week in another five days. So that's all good. Uh but at the same time we we we we we can see that Trump is under pressure that this is not something he wants to do. and one of the one of the Iranian uh uh members of the Majis I I don't know if I'm pronouncing it correct the the Iranian parliament has has said in a in an interview to Iranian media that you know the Americans were were asking for a like a like a like a face saving way out and what they were asking is uh could you please allow us to maybe strike two or three sites in Iran and then you know you retaliate against one or two of ours and then we're going to take care of the rest through public relations which is pret

So, if you're one of those people who's been wondering when we're going to find out more about the Jeffrey Epstein story, who's been asking for disclosure, at least wanting more disclosure, the dump of more than 3 million Epstein related documents a few days ago by the US government is well pretty amazing, but also kind of a mixed blessing because in that cache of material is a lot of tantalizing information. There's also a lot of stuff that's maybe not true. There's some stuff that seems kind of fantastical and it's all there together. And you could ask yourself, well, why is that? Could this be an attempt to discredit the whole story by throwing nonsense in next to clearly true information? I mean possibly. We can't know. All we can do is assess what's on the internet right now. So included in that document dump are a bunch of emails to and from Jeffrey Epstein to and from people whose names we know and in a lot of cases people whose names have been redacted for whatever reason. We can't know why they were redacted. We can guess. There are text messages. There are videos. There are photographs. There all kinds of attachments, documents. And there are also a lot of statements from anonymous people, some named people, uh, that may or may not be true, including people who just called into some sort of tip line with information about Epstein, uh, including statements from confidential human sources that may or may not have been taken under oath. Like, who knows? There's just a lot of stuff there. And some of it seems kind of ridiculous. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Some of it seems worth following up on. So, how do we assess it? Well, that's going to take an awfully long time. Most people don't have the time. So, we thought it would be interesting just to start with a very narrow slice of the material. And that's the emails and texts that we can be pretty sure were sent from or to Jeffrey Epstein that pertained to the question of food, specifically pizza. And that cau

Good evening. From where I'm standing right now, I can see all around me in a ring seven Christian churches. We're not going to pan to see them. You can see one behind me, but they're all on the ridges of this valley around me. We are about a 100 yards from the River Jordan and about 150 yards from the spot where Jesus, the Christian Savior, God on Earth, was baptized by John the Baptist, famously the beginning of his ministry and the beginning really of the gospel. John the Baptist lived famously in the wilderness eating locust and honey. That was right here. We are in the Holy Land, but on the political map, we're in an overwhelmingly Muslim country, a monarchy called Jordan. And that's significant particularly now because the question of how Christians are treated in the Holy Land is a political question. And it is because much of what happens in this region is funded by the United States, by its taxpayers, military action, but also the cultural and religious life of the region is funded to a great extent by American Christian churches. And so the question that we've asked for some time now is what's the outcome? How are Christians in the Holy Land doing? Are they thriving or are they suffering? And the truth has become pretty obvious over the past couple of years, which is in Israel, they are not thriving. Their numbers are not growing. They are shrinking. And there's a huge debate about why. But the bottom line is there are fewer Christians now, far fewer in absolute numbers and particularly as percentage of population than there were when the state was founded in 1948. And there's a lot of evidence in the last couple of years, particularly since the Gaza war started and the whole tone of the conversation in this area has changed quite a bit and the rise of extremism very noticeable that those numbers have gotten even smaller. And in Jerusalem, if you follow this at all on the internet, you see video clip after video clip of Christian clergy being spit at by re

Good to see you, Jenk. >> Good to see you, T. >> I I haven't seen you since we had a debate years ago, I think, um, at Politicon. Totally different world. But I was thinking this morning as I was driving in, I'm like, hm, of all the things you could do to infuriate your audience, this is probably at the top of the list. Like, you don't need to do this. Why are you doing this? >> Yeah. So, there's a couple reasons why. Number one, I want to take yes for an answer. Uh, you're anti-war. Uh we've been anti-war for 20 years. So >> I have not been. So bless you for that. >> Thank you, brother. And welcome. Glad to be here. >> And so that's amazing. That's important. Um and I also want to break down the barriers of Republicans versus Democrats, right-wing versus leftwing. I think that it's kind of used to divide us. Uh and I think that the powerful h already have an incredible elite team. They're very very organized and they do it through uh donations uh to the politicians etc. But the American people are not organized. Uh we have built two teams but those two teams the Republicans and the Democrats have been trained to fight each other instead of fighting up. Right. >> Exactly. >> And so when you split the population that way you take away all of their energy because you have their them use their energy against one another rather than against you. It's actually brilliant. That's how the British ruled India. >> Exactly. Right. >> Yes. And and it's done on a meta level in every way. Also, by the way, on a global level, Christians versus Muslims. Two billion here, two billion there. Make sure you guys are fighting one another. And hey, look at that. We've used up all your energy fighting one another and not looking up. >> I've noticed. Yeah. >> Okay. So, and then of course the third issue is Israel. And so, that's what I want to talk to you uh a lot about today. I hope. Uh, and I think that that's an animating issue for a number of reasons. Not because it's the end all be al

Take a look at some video, and we could have pulled all kinds of pieces of video, but here's just one. This is from Sunday night, and it gives you a sense of what the city of Minneapolis looks like now. This again is real, and it is just a flavor of what's happening there right now. FUCK YOU! Go go go! So what you're looking at, what you just saw in that tape, is a group of federal agents, immigration officers, ICE agents, employed by the federal government, stuck in a hotel in Minneapolis surrounded by what we're calling protesters. People who want to hurt them or screaming them, and they can't get out because there's no one to call. The local police refused to come to their aid and they can't move. Meanwhile, people are breaking windows and stealing and spraying graffiti. It's chaos. And this is in an American city. So if you've been experiencing the controversy over ice through a couple of clips to American citizens being shot to death by ICE agents, and you think that that's the entire story, you should know it's just part of it. What you're watching here is an unraveling of a city and potentially of a nation. And what's happening is much bigger than you may understand. It's certainly much more complicated, but its net effect is not complicated at all. We are watching the destruction of the social fabric, of the government, and potentially, of the nation. And so this is one of the more serious moments in our lifetime. And what we do next, how the administration responds to this, how local officials, state officials in Minnesota respond to it will determine the course going forward. So the first thing to be totally clear on is that that series of images, that video you just saw represents the worst possible outcome. It represents chaos. Most Americans have never seen chaos before up close. They. Therefore lack an appreciation of its dangers, but to be c

So, I just love the idea of this documentary so much where you actually go to the places along the trail of migration into the west. Um, where did you start? >> We started in Moritania and then we went to the Canary Islands which is a Spanish territory but you know so to Spain, the Canary Islands and we went to mainland Spain to France and the United Kingdom. >> Unbelievable. What's Mortania for those who don't know? Mortania is a West African Islamic Republic and that is the launch point where a lot of these so-called migrants leave on boat and head to the Canary Islands. They leave from other countries as well, but Moritania nowadays is the main launch point. >> Why? Why Moritania? >> Um it's just a a convenient point that's they sort of come from all over the Sahal and Maghreb up north and then from south they'll come from like Sierra Leon. They'll come from Sagal and other countries and they sort of meet there and it's also geographically situated near the Canary Islands so it's convenient and that's where they leave from but they also leave from countries like Sagal or uh like I think they leave from Jordan sometimes. >> It's kind of crazy though that you as an American and your brother also um just two Americans can know exactly how this works. You're just two ambitious young guys, right? You don't work for CIA, >> right? That's right. And somehow you know the migrant route and the means of transporting hundreds of thousands millions of people illegally, >> right? How do you know that? >> Yeah. Well, we've been studying this for a while. We studied this very intensively here in the United States. Um, as I said to you earlier off camerara, you know, we were the first Americans, as far as I'm aware, I mean, somebody could contact me if this is incorrect, but I'm not aware of anybody else that's done it. We were the first Americans to go from South America from Ecuador to the US border. And when you look at what's going on in Europe, a lot of the same organizatio

Oh, where do I begin? Well, I promised I would start in Rhode Island. Welcome to another shooter, America. It's the gun. It's not the gun. It's not the gun. Police now have identified the gunman who killed two people and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island. It happened yesterday afternoon. Robert Doran, a transgender dad who railed against anti-trans hate in family legal disputes and deranged social media rants. 56-year-old father who shot four family members and a family friend before turning the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Ptuckic ice rink. He used a female alias, but nobody was thinking he was a female, except maybe him. Roberto Espazito, Pucket Police Chief Tina Gonalves says, uh, "During a press conference Monday night, "We've identified the person by birth name." The birth name was Robert Doran. How dare her mislabel? Let me tell you first. First, let's recognize that this man was a father who just killed his family. Here's a statement from a daughter who wasn't killed right after the shooting. Listen to this. >> Shot my family and he's dead now. >> She described that shooting suspect as her father. Uh she came out of the police department behind me here in tears after presumably being interviewed by police. >> My father was a shooter. >> Probably what happened shot my family and he's dead now. What was the reasoning? Was there a family argument? >> He has mental health issues. >> So yes, she goes on to describe those mental health issues a little bit more. She says that uh he had been struggling with uh mental health for quite some time. She said, quote, "He was very sick." >> Yeah. Yeah. You think Roberta Roberta might have been a little sick? You think I am so sick and tired of these so-called health professionals telling us how we are to behave, telling us what mental illness is and is not. Telling us to never say that somebody who thinks that they were born in the wrong body, the definition o

71% of Democrats believe that there should be ID to be able to vote. 71% of Democrats, uh, it's in the '9s with Republicans. Overall, it's in the 80s of approval. It is the most popular, uh, bill ever in my lifetime. I don't think I've ever seen anything this universally wanted, uh, you know, to to happen. And we have this opportunity now because of the Republicans. They have already passed it in the House. It is going to the Senate. The Senate now. Mike Lee is joining us. He is in the the Senate process on the Save Act. Uh we are up to 47 Republican co-sponsors. The latest one is Susan Collins, which is shocking. Um what is what's next, Mike? What do you need next? Well, first of all, we we've actually got 49 sponsors. Susan Collins has indicated support for it, so up to 50, which means we're in a position where we would survive. >> A motion to proceed to this motion to proceed to a House pass message takes place in a simple majority vote. JD Vance being available to break the tie. And I I'm still hopeful that we'll pick up um uh a small handful of other senators along the way. The next step after that is where it gets interesting because we don't have anything close to 60 votes at this point. And although we'd love to pick up that many, we can't be guaranteed that we'll get there in time. I think this is an appropriate place to restore the talking filibuster, to make senators actually speak if they want to filibuster a bill. A filibuster has long been used since the dawn of the republic, the creation of the US Senate. It's been used as a tool by which senators have procedural rights to theoretically unlimited debate. But throughout time, it's been understood that that requires you to actually speak because that's what the right is. It's about speaking about debating through speaking through >> this is the Jimmy Stewart m Mr. Smith goes to Washington kind of filibuster. Got it. >> That's it. That that is exactly right. And you keep going until those who were filibu

I want to start with a story uh that I read and I want to give it to you in two ways because everybody prioritizes facts using a story. Stories are what makes us human. It's what knits us together. It's what brings us together. It what's it's what motivates us to lift up higher and also go to war. Stories are important. But how you tell the story is is more important. How can two people look at exactly the same news and and see it so differently? Because that's what we're experiencing right now. We're seeing things happen with illegal immigration and ICE and we're we're looking at the same story. No, no, no. We think we're looking at the same facts. What we're doing is we're looking at two different stories. Okay? Depending on how you use the facts, admitting some things that don't fit, overemphasizing things that do fit your narrative, we change the actual story. And this is this is the problem. This is why we're not listening to one another. Um, we have to be able to find a way to hear each other. So, let me give you an example of the kind of stories that you're reading and hearing about. Let me give you two examples. Okay? First first story. He came to America looking for something simple. He came to America for a chance. He left his home in Ireland alone to come to the land of opportunity. He arrived just as so many Irish men arrived in this country. Almost nothing in his pocket, just a dream and a city that understands the Irish, Boston. So he gets to Boston and like so many people before him, he finds work. He builds a life. He builds his own business. He falls in love, gets married. He builds something here in America that he couldn't build in Ireland and it's stable and it's home. Then one day he's just doing his business. Routine stop at Home Depot and everything changes. handcuffs, detention. He's transported more than 2,000 miles away to a facility in Texas and he spends months in this room he says is filthy little sunlight he barely gets to see outside a

Okay, so this 250 page report has come out from Election Oversight Group. The reason why I want to talk to you about this today is because of what happened with Pom Pam Bondi yesterday. Um, and I honestly I need some new insight on this cuz I just don't know where to go with this Pam Bondi thing because I thought it was not good yesterday. Um, I just don't think she's capable of fixing the errors that have just piled up and we have to fix the DOJ. It must be fixed because there's too many important things that are riding on it. One thing that they are doing that is right is the Fulton County, Georgia situation with the election of 2020. The morning after the election, that's just to remind you, Georgia's Secretary of State went on national television and said 4.7 million votes had been cast. He said only about 2% remain to be counted, which is roughly 94,000 ballots. And he said at this moment, the margin is decisive. Even suggested if one candidate won 100% of all of the outstanding votes, it's not going to change the outcome. But when the final um tally first came in, the total wasn't 4.7 million votes that had been cast. It was 5.023 million. Okay. Wait, what? And in Fulton County alone, the absentee ballots reportedly rose from 74,000 to more than 148,000 between election night and final certification. Where did that come from? And that's why this shift happened reversed the apparent outcome uh of the of the state and that's why Donald Trump was like wait a minute cheating is going on. The report now states no no known explanation has been provided to justify the surge. Pause. If the numbers change by that magnitude after officials publicly declare with near final certainty, then again, we've got to get it right. Not almost right. We need it right. We don't need defensiveness, dismissal. We need clarity. The report then goes into the chain of custody. Okay, listen to this. Investigators found that 148,000 absentee ballots were accepted and counted without first 

So Jason, uh, I want to check with you. I saw the poll go up. We just asked the, uh, uh, Torch Insiders, uh, to decide and, you know, rank what they wanted to talk about this hour, what they wanted me to start with. And it was Cuba, was it not? >> Yeah. Over. Well, it's it's gotten closer, but 55% of the audience want Cuba. The second closest one is Save Act at 42%. So most of them Cuba. >> Good. We're going to talk we'll we'll talk about both of those. Um, but let me start with with Cuba. Let me start with something small on Cuba. A really important statement came from the Kremlin this week. Um, the spokesperson Dmitri Pescov, he said, "Russia didn't abandon the dollar. The dollar abandoned us." Okay, now that's an interesting phrase coming from the spokesperson from the Kremlin. Then he said, "If conditions change and the dollar became practical again, countries including Russia might resume using it again." Wait a minute. What? For years, the message out of Russia has been ddarization. Okay, now the message is more, well, we left because we had to, not because we wanted to. Wait, hold on. Reports based on Russian internal proposals suggest Moscow is floating a broader economic cooperation with Washington if a Ukraine settlement emerges. Okay, if we settle on Ukraine, what Russia is now saying is maybe we can do joint energy projects. Maybe we can jointly invest in in different things and have cooperation. And maybe, you know, the settlement systems that, you know, uh, Joe Biden just blew up, maybe it would include dollar-based transactions again. Wait, what? What? This is huge. Russia has been using the the dollar as a weapon for a long time. A long time. And so are we. This is the fundamental principle of bricks, you know, and local currencies. Russia was saying that's the future. Um, okay. But then why are you saying you might go back to it? All right. So, there's the first piece of the puzzle. Something's going on and it's tied to Ukraine. Jason, tell me about

Okay. So, accelerationism, the bel the belief that everything needs to be burned down, that nothing is worth saving. And I told you that the key change in the last several years, um, is that this is more connected than it ever has been. Okay? It's not more disciplined. It's not necessarily bigger in raw numbers. Okay? Um, but it is more connected. It's quickly mobilized now. It's well financed. More capable of spreading tactics and targets and narratives. Accelerationism. It's mainstream. And that changes the risk profile. The second fact of this, the line between protest and insurgent behavior is now being tested. I see up on the screen Tom Hman is now speaking. I think he's in Minneapolis there. This is the administration understanding perception versus reality, correcting it, telling Tom Holman, you know, put the giant stick in your back pocket for a minute, walk in and get this thing done. And he did. And he's changing perception, but he's still holding the line and getting it done. Okay? Protests are protected. Even loud, offensive protests that make you furious, but not violent ones, not ones where you're attacking. Okay, now let me add on to this a new set of facts because for years we have told ourselves political violence was the danger. Okay, Molotov cocktails, riots, burning down cities, broken windows, etc., etc. And we've told ourselves if we can just stop the street chaos, the republic would be safe. That's a mistake because before violence really becomes common, something else has to happen first. law has to be redefined not as a neutral constraint but as a weapon to be na named and you're seeing it happen now. That's why you can't get people to be prosecuted in some states. They're using the law as a weapon. But it has gotten much worse than that. And you're hearing this, but I I want to shape this here so you really hear what's going on. This week, a sitting member of Congress, Shri Thandar, he he leaned forward in a hearing and he told a federal la

Are you reading people saying, you know, uh, Epstein files? Boy, Donald Trump sure looks bad in the Epstein files. Are you hearing that, Jason? >> I got one comment from Zachary. Zachary said that he's hearing that and he was just curious what that was and what it all means. And I haven't really seen anything but really exoneration for the president really. >> Right. I mean, it it is amazing that the Democrats even even say the word Epstein anymore because I'm I'm convinced the only reason why they brought him up is because they needed to smear Donald Trump, needed to make him look like a pedophile or whatever. But all of these documents, they show that nope, he was the exact opposite. the the the latest um President Trump in a call two decades ago to the floor a Florida police chief bashed his former friend Jeffrey Epstein and called Ebstein's procurer Maxwell evil. This is now he is a retired cop but at the time he he wasn't. Um, and the FBI interviewed him and he said, "Trump called me," cuz he was the police chief of Palm Beach. Uh, and he said, "Thank goodness you're stopping Ebstein. Everyone knows he's doing this and nobody would stop it." Um, the document came to light hours after Maxwell's lawyer turned on Trump uh or called on Trump to grant her executive clemency so she could speak honestly about what she knows. Maxwell earlier Monday refused to testify to a House committee. So, she's trying to hold out so she can get, you know, a wave sentence or anything else. And Trump has not been willing to do that. And I think that speaks volumes, especially when, you know, he said two decades ago, this woman is evil. In fact, uh, Trump told him, the police chief, people in New York knew Ebstein was disgusting. Trump said Maxwell is AB Ebstein's operative. She's evil and you should focus on her. During the 2006 call, Trump told Writer that he was around Epstein once when teenagers were present and Trump got the hell out of there. This is the police chief. And he sai

Hello, my name is Bad Bunny. I'm glad you're here. I decided to speak English today because what the hell? The country is an English-speaking country, but that's just me. Um, let me talk to you about uh some people I don't think speak English, and that is Pam Bondi and the people at the DOJ. Um, here's the latest. Well, let me start with this. In case you missed the Ebstein episode on Friday, the FBI in the document dump, it came out now that the film that they showed us, and remember Dan Bun, you know, everybody else said, "I watched it. I watched I watched I watched every second of it." Uh, and there was nothing. There was nothing. I just thought of something. Can somebody check Jason? Can you check uh today? Remember there was that edit that was at the top of an hour though, wasn't it? Wasn't that right at the top of an hour? It was like at 58 or something. They said they >> Oh, and it resets. >> Video resets. I think it was at top of hour. So, it wouldn't work. >> But, um just check it for the correlation of the time of the orange blob. So, we find out Friday that on the video there is an orange blob that is going up the stairs. Now, you could call Ghostbusters and maybe it was a ghost, but it appears to either be a prisoner or somebody dressed like a prisoner that is going up the stairs to Ebstein's cell block. Okay. There's no record of it. They've all seen it. CBS analyzed the digital and said, "Yep, that's clearly in fact um they had an analyst come in and say that is not just somebody carrying towels. It appears to be on a body cuz they can tell the way it's moving that it's moving in the way a body would move. So, you can only see like maybe the shirt on on the on the body, the the side of the sleeve or something, but it's moving up the stairs. They saw this early on. They asked, nobody had an answer. They blamed it first on one of the guards who was quote sleeping. She said, "No, I don't bring towels up. I don't bring bed sheets up. That would be a comple

All right, Alexander, let's uh talk about the push back that is coming from China and Russia. Uh push back with regards to the blockade against Cuba and also push back against the United States and its uh ramp up towards a conflict with Iran. Uh what is going on here? Yeah, it's it's very interesting because we we've now had extraordinary rhetoric from the administration, from the US administration and of course what crystallized it was this extraordinary speech that Marco Rubio gave at the Munich Security Conference which we've analyzed. We've discussed it in the program and in that speech basically Rubio outlined an uber um neocon project for American imperialism around the world. Now Rubio was not the only superpower foreign minister at the Munich Security Conference. Wang Yi was there as well. Now, Wangi isn't just China's foreign minister, but he's also Cinping's national security advisor. And over the last couple of weeks, we've been having very intense discussions between the Chinese and the Russians. Um Putin's national security adviser, the man who is secretary of the Russian security council. Shyu was in Beijing and Putin and Ciin Ping had a long virtual conference with each other of a sort that is starting to look rather more interesting than perhaps it first appeared. Anyway, Wang Yi also spoke and he basically set out not just a different agenda from Rubios but I would say an opposing agenda to Rubios. He basically foresaw imperialism of the kind that Rubio was talking about. But what he was really talking about was not not China not being imperialist. It is China and the other powers, the other great powers resisting this American neoimperial drive. And he talked a lot about the various institutions. He talked about international law. He talked about all of these things, the sort of things that of course the Americans are now openly scorning. But Wangi was positioning China as the great defender. All of this we've heard from the Chinese before. But wha

All right, Alexander, let's talk about the negotiations that are taking place today in Geneva and Whit Kushner will be there. On the Russian side, you have uh Medinski who who has been the chief negotiator according to Pascov throughout the the entire process, even the Abu Dhabi process, but he did not show up in Abu Dhabi because uh the discussions were mostly focused on security issues. uh this time around he will be um in in Geneva as the lead negotiator and uh on the Ukrainian side you have uh Umeov I believe who will be leading the negotiations after after the negotiations in Geneva at least for the U for the US delegation they will then be negotiating on Iran so Whitov Kushner are negotiating with uh with the Russians and the Ukrainians and then they will be negotiating with the Iranians. Quite a busy day for with cough and Kushner and what are your thoughts? >> Well, let's start with the last point. I mean I what you've just described once the same set of negotiators conducting one high level negotiation with um a power like Russia and then running off and conducting another high uh level set of negotiations with a power like Iran both on the same day is uh I mean it's it's borderline absurd. I mean, even if Witgo and um u and Kushner were the best negotiators in the world, even even if they were massively experienced in these sort of things if they were respectively Napoleon and Hercules, I mean, it's just asking too much. You can't possibly conduct effective negotiations at this kind of level on the same day with two completely different parties about a major war. And apparently the reason these discussions are taking place in Geneva at all, the Ukrainians didn't want to go to Geneva. The Russians didn't want to go to Geneva. The Ukrainians wanted to have the meeting in Miami. The Russians preferred Abu Dhabi or Istanbul. But the reason these discussions are taking place in Geneva is to enable Witkoff and uh Kushner to shuttle from one level of talks to ano

All right, Alexander, let's talk about the Munich Security Conference which has uh wrapped up and we had the big speech from Marco Rubio. >> What did you think about his speech to to the audience in Munich who gave him a standing >> ovation even though it appeared as if Rubio was was telling them that uh that they're not doing a very good job >> in managing the empire. So he was uh he was scolding them a bit or maybe maybe it was a type of pep talk as well. They need to do better to to manage empire. But um anyway, it was about empire. >> The speech was about empire. >> So your thoughts? >> Well, I I think probably the reason they gave him a standing evasion is because he wasn't JD Vance and he wasn't being quite as um rude about them as um other officials within the administration have been. And of course he did offer them some scraps and I think they were grateful for that alto together. But I wonder whether they actually completely understood the speech he was giving. And sometimes I actually wonder whether Rubio was because you talked about empire. This was the most nakedly imperialistic speech that an American Secretary of State has given since I think the foundation of the republic in the 1780s. Um perhaps there was an exception which is the Theodore Roosevelt um period um before the first world war and all of that but I mean this is absolute naked imperialism. it was, you know, that the West has been in decline, but that it was now reverse its decline. That the way to do this is basically for everybody to get behind the United States. That the United States is going to be utterly aggressive from this point forward. And that um we can forget all about liberalism, globalism, all those nice fancy words. They've served their they served their purpose. They don't really mean anything anymore. for its raw power and that's all it is. And we're in this great enterprise to reestablish the empire in the strongest possible way. Using every tool at our disposal, uh uh um

All right, Alexander, we are here once again with Stannislav. Stannislav, how are you doing? And where can people follow your work? >> Okay, so the list gets longer. So we got Telegram there is the Russian uh Telegram Stasos there is the English at Mr. Slavic man. Slavic with a K. That's for X. That's YouTube. X is Stinius. I couldn't fit the whole name in. So, it's just cuts off a DS and then Crypnic. Um, Tosskin is a backup site. So, that it doesn't get updated very much. Uh, there are some things up closer that X really didn't like. Uh, so they kind of shut it down for a while. So, we had to go to a different uh iteration. That's just become a backup site since then. And I'm on Substack. Uh, ZME Ginich. Uh, you'd have to look it up in the description, the exact spelling. Uh, meish, by the way, in Russian myth is a three-headed dragon. Uh, so that's um, and the name of the site is the Rising Imperial Eagle. So, that's that's a new site. Um, and it's also working as a backup site for my uh, I'm sorry to put all my videos that I put uh, on YouTube just in case YouTube decides to deep six me. You never know with YouTube, unfortunately. >> Uh, they they've done crazier things. uh to people who watch more followers. >> So that's good. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Those links those links in the description box down below. Alexander Stannislav. >> So we have much to talk about today and I I we would we need to discuss the fact that we have two completely different descriptions of the state of the wall. So the this the descriptions that I'm reading every day in the American and British media is that of Russia essentially being stuck. It's only making glacial advances um at phenomenal cost that the numbers of Russians who have been killed in each assault are huge and they capture in respect of each one of these assaults millimeters of territories. It's almost I'm I'm barely exaggerating here. And um there was an extraordinary article in the New York Times which I think came out on th

All right, Alexander, let's talk about uh the meeting between Trump and Netanyahu. And let's talk about the moves that Trump appears to be making since that meeting with Netanyahu, specifically the two two aircraft carriers that are now on the way to the region. One is the is the Bush aircraft carrier which is heading to the Middle East. Actually, there are reports which said that Trump gave the order for that aircraft carrier to make its way to the Middle East 3 days ago. These are what some reports are saying. So that would mean it should arrive to the region in about a week by next Wednesday is what some reports are claiming. >> We got the news yesterday that Trump has ordered the uh the fort in Venezuela. >> Yeah. >> To now make it way to the region. This is a massive military buildup if these reports are uh true. >> Yes. >> What's going on here? >> Well, the first thing to say is that Trump of course had a meeting with Netanyahu. A lot of people have had lots of expectations about that meeting. Um Trump published a true social post which conveyed the very strong impression that there had been a route between them and that Netanyahu had pressed him for some kind of attack on Iran and that Trump pushed back and said that for the moment at least he's still um committed to diplomacy. It's a very interesting post in in a sense. Now that one would like to believe is true, but it is very like what happened back in June. Um when he did the same thing, we had diplomacy and negotiations going on with the Iranians. There was about to be a meeting. there was going to be a meeting between Arashi and Witito in Oman. And in fact, as the US media themselves are pointing out, there was already preparations by Israel to conduct a strike against um Iran. And in fact, the strike took place before the meeting in Aman took place and the Iranians um were lulled in into complacency and a number of them, the large number of them as a result were killed. So it could be that we're lookin

All right, Alexander, let's talk about what's going on with uh Epstein and the Epstein hearing yesterday with uh Pam Bondi and that train wreck of a of a hearing and uh and Trump is is supporting her. She he says that she did a fantastic job. I don't think that's a surprise to anyone that Trump is coming out to support her. But uh what do you think about everything that went down yesterday with Bondi the hearing and with Trump with Trump as expected as expected with Trump uh continuing to support the strategy and the policy of uh Bondi the DOJ and I imagine uh Susie Wilds and and a lot of Trump's team is is behind this. Your thoughts? >> I have absolutely no doubt that that is that that is completely correct. I'm going to say though, first of all, about Bondi's performance, I thought it was an absolute disaster. I thought um that it was an absolute car crash of of a congressional testimony. Um and um it it seemed to me incredibly bungled and evasive, to put it mildly. And I I Trump, as you rightly say, backs her, but he he ought to be aware of the fact, you know, that she's just not doing her job very well, as far as I'm concerned. I mean, let's let's be, you know, deeply cynical about this, as perhaps we can be, and say that um you want to avoid disclosure of everything to the public. You want to keep things absolutely as watertight and closed down as you possibly can. What Bondi is doing basically by refusing to discuss anything and by saying that there's absolutely nothing to see there and then previously by refusing to disclose anything. Um what that does of course is invite suspicion and demand that people go and look and get um to see everything. And we've already had massive document dumps and disclosures which are expanding all the time. A a really cunning a really cynical and clever um attorney general like say uh Nixon's attorney general the notorious Mitchell. What they would have done I think is that they would have bought selective prosecutions of a few

All right, Alexander, it is that time of year that is approaching. I'm talking about the Munich Security Conference, which is uh which is going to take place on the 13th to the 15th. I'm going to get a lot of a lot of good clown world material from that conference, but we're going to have a lot of good good material to talk about. Probably a lot of disturbing uh material to to discuss, a lot of speeches and statements uh from the uh the collective west elite and uh and this is coming at a time when uh when you have Russia um winning the war and I don't think anyone would would dispute that, though. Perhaps Kaakalas would would dispute that. But no sane or a rational person would dis would dispute the the trajectory of the conflict in Ukraine. You have uh the whole row the fight between uh Trump and the Europeans allegedly this fight between Trump and the Europeans. And of course you have the the Epstein documents as well kind of floating in the background. Uh you also have Macaron who is now openly trying to position himself as the European uh negotiator with uh with Russia. So um what are you what are you expecting for the Munich Security Conference? >> Well in well indeed because of the Munich Security Conference has generally been the most the more important event. There's Davos which is always been there's always been more of an entertainment side of Davos and I think people realize I mean they all come together they all agree with each other they all or have done up to now they all uh uh talk about what a wonderful thing globalization is. They have all their working parties in which they advance their plans for globalization. But then basically the same group of people meet a few weeks later in Munich and then they talk security and that's where the more kinetic aspect of their plans tends to come. And of course there's been two extraordinary Munich security conferences over the last few years. There was the one in 2022 which I have never forgotten where as I s

All right, Alexander, let's uh discuss Sir Kier Stmer, the resignation of his chief of staff, Morgan Mweeny. I guess we could say this is the the combo of the Alinsky curse and the Mandelen Epstein curse. I guess they both had to had to team up in order to to knock out at least the chief of staff of uh of Stalmers who is from what I understand a very powerful uh politician in in the establishment in the UK but he's resigned and the rumors are that uh Stalmer could be resigning uh anytime this this week. Some people are even saying he might resign today or tomorrow. I'm not sure. He's going to give some some big speech. I think either this afternoon or tomorrow and some people are thinking 50/50. The markets have it at 50/50 that he could be resigning. What are your thoughts? >> Well, first of all, let me just say that you're absolutely right. This is a combo of the Epstein Mandlesson curse and of the Alinski curse. The Elinski curse, by the way, has played a very, very big role in this. One of the reasons why Starmer is where he is is because his popularity over the last two years, well year and a half since he was elected prime minister has completely drained away. And the reason reason it has completely drained away is because everybody could see that even as the economy collapses, even as the living standards continue to fall, even as things go from bad to worse in Britain, the prime minister Kharma is mostly focused on project Ukraine. People have become increasingly disillusioned and angry about this. We've discussed in previous programs how even his MPs, his parliamentary party have recently taken to calling him never here. They can't speak to him very often because he's usually floating around Brussels or Washington or Kiev or wherever it is meeting his dear friend uh Vladimir Zalinski. He regularly hugs and embraces him outside Downing Street. He does all of these things. So, um there is little goodwill to him from any part of British society. that has drain

All right, Alexander, we have uh concluded the meetings in uh Abu Dhabi between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States, though Kushner were not present at uh at this round of talks. And it looks like the result of these meetings has been uh a prisoner exchange, which is which is positive. uh Whitov said as much in a post on X, but I'm struggling to to find out what else um was discussed or what other um what other goals or objectives were were achieved. Uh on on the negative side of things, we've uh we've talked about how how Russia, Ukraine, and the United States, specifically Russia and the United States were uh engaged in some sort of security talks. Most likely those talks were focused on on um on the dirty war that is being conducted against uh Russia uh specifically the the attacks on military officials and of course the attacks on uh on Valdai uh against Putin. Uh we had another assassination attempt on a Russian general. So it looks like uh those security talks may not be uh may not be be working out so well for for the Russian side. Anyway, um, how did you see these talks in Abu Dhabi? >> Well, I think you've summed it up extremely well as far as I can see. They they sit together, they sit in this room, they exchange ideas about all sorts of technical issues. They did negotiate a prisoner of war exchange. And by, by the way, on this issue, the Russians came out on top because, as is well known, the Russians hold many more prisoners than the Ukrainians do. But um interestingly the number of prisoners swapped the number was the same. So the Russians gave the same number about 150 and the Ukrainians gave 150 and the Ukrainians also released three Russian civilians that they took captive in Kusk region last year. So um so you know the Russians got something out of this. I don't see that the Ukrainians have got anything out of it at all. Um, the Americans and the Russians had a conversation with each other. And when we say the Americans, this was General Grinkov

All right, Alexander, let's talk about the negotiations uh taking place in Oman uh between the United States and Iran. Uh Woodoff and Kushner with the foreign minister of Iran, Arachi, and his team. Uh they were supposed to take place in Turkey. Then it looked like the talks were going to be cancelled. Then the talks were back on again. Iran uh asked for a change in the venue and they got it. The United States wanted uh the discussions to focus on a list of demands that they had. Iran wanted the discussions to be to be focused uh more on or exclusively on the uh the uranium enrichment nuclear issue. Um we ended up getting getting the meeting. It looks like if you go off of the reports that the meeting was very very quick and not much came out of it. At least that's what the reports are uh are claiming. >> There are some reports which claim that the United States one of the demands additional demand that the United States threw at Iran was that they stop providing oil to China which is quite revealing but um but your thoughts on on these talks taking place? >> Yeah, I mean I think you've described it very well. I mean the the the talks um there were the talks have been held because over the last week there's been um intense activity intense push back from Russia but even more from regional countries the Gulf States Saudi Arabia uh to try to avoid a conflict between the United States and Iran. And Israel this time for its own reasons is holding back from direct involvement at least for the moment. In fact um Lavrov the Russian foreign minister um has actually said that back in December at the end of December um the Russians brokered a deal a private deal. It's not um a formal agreement but a private deal between the Iranians and the Israelis that um neither would attack the other if the other didn't attack first. So um that was the deal that was done. So in effect the Americans at the moment are on their own and everybody is everybody apart probably from the Israelis 

All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is going on in uh the UK with uh Lord. Is he a lord? Kirst. >> No, he's not. >> He's not a lord. >> He's a sir. He's a sir. He's a sir. Yes. I get those confused. Lord and sir. And anyway, sir, what is going on with Prime Minister Sir Kier Stmer? He is in >> in a world of mess, especially with the Epstein files and uh and Mandelin. He's a lord, right? Is he still a lord? is a lord. He's still a lord or can he resign or can you resign? >> You can't resign from a from a from from a from a lordship. You you are always called lord but he's not going to use the uh term and let me just quickly explain this just in case people are interested. I'm sure people are interested. Um a sir technically means that you're a knight. It's not a it's not obviously a hereditary title. You do not sit in the house of lords which is the upper house of the British Parliament but it is an honor. So it means that the king calls you sir and everybody calls you sir and um in theory as I said you belong to one of the various orders of knighthood. The order of the order of the bath the order of the British Empire. Now amongst the British elite there are lots of ones all of these orders there are some which are more prestigious than others uh the order of the garter is the far and away the most prestigious my understanding is that karmama got his knighthood his his position as a sir uh because he was a civil servant an official he served as director of public prosecutions and he is served K star and I believe he believes belongs to the order of the British Empire config which is actually the lowest ranking one. A lord means that you are a member of the house of lords. And there are hereditary lords who have inherited their titles who are the aristocracy. And then there are the lords who are appointed such just for their lives only uh by the prime minister. Most of the hereditary peers, the hereditary lords no longer sit in the house of lords but all of t

All right, Alexander, the New START treaty has expired and Putin requested of Trump to extend the existing treaty for one more year while they negotiate something new, which is apparently what Trump wants to do. Apparently Trump wants to include China in these negotiations. That's fine. I think that for Russia was okay. We can talk about it over the next year, but let's make sure that at least the existing treaty that's in place, we extend it for one year so we have time to negotiate things. The United States and the Trump administration pretty much showed no interest in taking Putin up on his offer. There was a call between Putin and Xi Jinping yesterday. I imagine they discussed the expiration of the New START treaty. There was a call, I believe, between Trump and Xi Jinping. I wonder if they discussed the new START treaty. But this is a huge story and it's a very dangerous development what has just happened. And if this does expire, that's it. We have no more, I don't think we have any more treaties, nuclear proliferation treaties left, do we? We have none. The only thing that's left is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which is from the 1960s, which is all about preventing the spread of nuclear weapons to other countries. And of course, as we know, that is also a treaty now on the brink of collapse because nuclear weapons technology is spreading. And there doesn't seem to be any way to stop it. But in terms of arms limitation, we are in a unique situation in my lifetime. Throughout my lifetime, we have either had negotiations on arms control, on strategic weapons limitation, or we've had treaties limiting, restricting the possession of nuclear weapons, at least between the two countries. big nuclear powers, which of course America and Russia. To be clear, negotiations on limiting American and Russian nuclear arsenals began in 1959. And the first important treaty that provided some limits on nuclear weapons technology by the superpowers was the partial test b

A new week, a new model drop. Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.6. This is going to be Anthropic's workhorse. And it got a major quality bump from Sonnet 4.5. It got better at coding, tool use, a gentic ability, and it now comes with a million token context window. And they even made it the default model on the free plan. This is incredible. So, the pricing remains the same as Sonnet 45, starting at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. And Sonnet 4.6 brings much improved coding skills, improved consistency, and instruction following. And they're really positioning this as a realworld task model. Meaning it is so capable at tool use and agentic ability that it's able to do things like create powerpoints and manipulate Excel work within claude co-work cla code. This is an incredibly powerful model. It also happens to be fast, have a million tokens. It's just super exciting. And it's also incredibly good at computer use. Again, all of the Claude co-work stuff that you might be doing, you can now do with Sonnet 4.6. Look at this chart. This is the percentage score on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. This is the OS world and OS World verified scores over time. And as you see, Sonnet 4.5 at 61.4% versus 72.5% for Sonnet 4.6. OS World is a benchmark in which AI is given its own computer environment and is instructed to complete practical tasks within this computer environment. And here's the interesting thing about how it actually works with computer use. Listen to this. There are no special APIs or purpose-built connectors. The model sees the computer and interacts with it in much the same way a person would, clicking a virtual mouse and typing on a virtual keyboard. It looks at the computer, decides what to do, and then executes the actions. And of course, it's not anthropic if they're not talking about risks and safety and security. So, at the same time, computer use poses risk. Malicious actors can attempt to hijack the model by hiding instruction

OpenClaw is the most important AI software I have ever used. It has fundamentally changed how not only I work, but I live. It has really infiltrated every aspect of my life and allowed me to be hyper productive everywhere. And yes, I'm still running it on this little MacBook that sits right on my desk. Openclaw is an incredibly personal, incredibly capable AI assistant that you can run locally. And in this video, I'm going to show you all of the different use cases that I use OpenC cloth for. I'm going to show you exactly how they work. I'm going to give you the prompts to recreate it yourself. I'm going to show you them in action. And I'm even going to show you how I set up OpenClaw to be self evolving. It is wild. So, let's get into it. All right. So, first, what is OpenClaw? I've made multiple videos about it, so I'm only going to go over this briefly. If you want a more basic guide, check out my previous videos. OpenClaw is an open-source framework that allows you to take the best AI models and builds an incredibly personal AI assistant that is capable of accomplishing almost any task that you can do on a computer. And what makes it really special is that it learns from you. It evolves over time and you can access it using the chat apps that you already use. WhatsApp, Telegram, text messaging, Slack, all of them. OpenClaw also has a pretty awesome personality that you can craft to be the exact personal assistant that you want it to be. And this is done through two main files, identity.md and soul.md. So here's my identity.md file. And so this is a slight evolution on what comes by default, but you could basically make it anything you want. And then the soul is where you actually give it its true personality. This is where you describe things like how you wanted to answer you, how concise, how verbose, how personal, how formal. All of this is defined right here. I even gave it a humor style style rules, when to dial it down. When it's talking to me, I want it to 

Let me give you an update since the last time we were on with Colonel McGregor. We actually have more information now. I want to go first of all to the Iraqi for the Iranian foreign minister Abbas Iraqi who after them talked came out and had this slightly upbeat statement. Now, if all we're talking about is what actually was discussed there, then you may say, well, that's a good thing and that there's there's some cause for optimism. optimism, even if it's just cautious optimism, but given history, I'm not sure that that's a really good place to be because when we look at all the statements that are being made by a lot of American officials, a lot of American pundits, former generals, etc., even some of the uh administration officials, some of the members of the Senate, for example, and the House of Representatives in in Munich a couple of days ago, all of those. And then when you look at the deployment of combat power throughout the region, doesn't look like people are really giving a whole lot of thought to maybe some peace. And yet that's that's the view from uh foreign minister Arachi. Now he is not a uh you know he's not a fool and he's also not a dreamer that he doesn't understand history and in fact if in case he did one of his countrymen a professor at the uh University of Tyrron uh put it to like this >> they are trying their best again to see if they can have the US government actually doing negotiations instead of deception operations because as you said last time they were negotiating think Iran was attacked in the middle of negotiations. So they're giving peace another chance. Whether it's going to be successful or not, if you are a student of history, you should not be very optimistic because of what we have seen in Iran from the United States. Uh but at the end of the day, I think the Iranian leaders decided to see whether Trump could be engaged in in a serious manner this time given the fact that they did not achieve their goals last time because Tru

the Russia Ukraine war. There are some talks on schedule for that. In Geneva tomorrow, there is scheduled trilateral meeting with the United States, Ukraine, and Russia to try and figure out if there's any room for negotiations, if anything has changed there. Now, based on some comments recently by Sergey Lavrov and and and Voteir Zalinski, doesn't seem like we're any further down the road than we were in Alaska last year. You can comment on that. But back to the category of some delusions in the west. I I just could not fail to at least put this one soundbot in here from uh former amazing fourstar general David Petraeus who has this comment about how the future he sees for Ukraine. This is Ukraine's greatest generation. It's very similar to the American greatest generation. But I think when the cessation of hostilities begins, we're going to see Ukraine as the greatest military-industrial complex in the western world. And they're going to build a new country with new economy, not the old extractive economies of the past. Uh, and they will, I think, over time, come to see what Ukraine's greatest generation will have done, not just on the battlefield, but also in building an entirely new country focused on new technologies uh and and new economic endeavors. the the greatest generation would you say to you from America that you know at least on our telling won World War II and that they're going to be the greatest industrial company in the Western world. I mean man what is going on here Doug? >> Well, General Petraeus has never been very concerned about the truth of any of his remarks. You can go back uh to the 2023 and his insistence that the Ukrainians have mastered combined arms tactics with all of the all of the new equipment. They were going to smash their way through Russian defenses. You know, we've been down this road before. It was all nonsense. The notion that you would talk about 1942 1943 combined arms tactics on the battlefield in Ukraine was itself an ad

breaking down the situation today in Iran, the latest in Russia and Ukraine. If you don't mind, let's start with Iran. I know we have talked so many times and I share your concern about launching a military strike on Iran. This is regime change. You've outlined many times how unbelievably explosive, no pun intended, this would be. Military base is at risk. The Iranians have a lot of missiles they can launch, a lot of targets close by they can hit. It's going to be real chaotic. It's going to be very bloody. and we're going to lose a lot of um well, human life doing this. And of course, I back off and start with the problem that well, I would like to have a declaration of war in Congress before we start dropping bombs and entering regime change, but that pesky constitution is always going to be in the background. But as I read the Wall Street Journal today, Jared Maslin reporting on the economic situation going on in Iran. Is it possible that these long-term sanctions, which are apparently seriously impacting the Iranians, might be the mechanism to go about bringing about a resolution for this? Maybe getting some concessions from the Iranians on missiles, maybe get them to concede on the nuclear uh enrichment program. What we've been looking for, at least what we say we're looking for, because basically their currency has tanked. Uh shopkeepers can't sell goods at a profit. People can't afford anything. There is a massive amount of economic uncertainty because of that looming potential military threat with two carrier groups hanging out in their backyard. I mean, there's a lot of pressure on them, but economically it is a miserable situation going in Iran right now. Is this maybe a pathway to a nonwarfair resolution of the conflict? I hate to throw it at you that way, but that's where I am this morning, Daniel. Now, we got we got to start off first of all and say what is the conflict resolution terms that we want and and you know some people claim because that's some

The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000. And the NASDAQ smashing records. Americans 401ks and retirement savings are booming. That's right. That's what we should. >> Who cares if we kidnapped their children? WHAT DOES IT MATTER? >> WHO CARES THAT WE kidnapped the Dow is up. Cares you we snatched your kids and took them to an island. So what? We're part of an ancient blood cult. The Dow is up. You know what the NASDAQ's doing? The blue chips, THE S&P 500. WHY DON'T YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH about the kids that we abducted and sacrificed? That was Tim Dylan really talking for most Americans when we watched that just disaster of a of an ex presentation, if that's the right word we can use for Pam Bondi last week. uh seem to talk about anything except why she was actually there. Um and we're going to get to a lot of that today. We're very grateful to have uh uh uh P Robert Barnes back with us today, constitutional lawyer at Barnes Law. Uh but uh I want to talk about some other things first, but man, just off the top there, there was a lot of frustration by listening to her just badger people last week and not talk about why she's there. What did you make of that? It was the most disastrous public performance by an attorney general in American history. It will be me'd into history 20 years from now. Somebody will say as a joke, "Why are you complaining? The Dow is at 50,000." I mean, it is permanently part of our culture now. They even created like what would Pam Bonnie would be like as a waitress and it's one of the most funniest one of the funniest skits out there. She's me herself into history and not in a good way. And then you combine it with what is Todd Blanch's most famous quote now? It's not a crime to party with Epstein. These are the most incompetent rubes known to man. It's one thing to be corrupt deep state uh complicit parties like both Bondi and Blanch are. It's quite another to be this level of stupid. I say I don't mind criminals. I don't min

Israel would like to see the inclusion of the Iranian missile program in any deal. The main limitations on the number and on the range of Iranian missiles and to the extent that that is not included in a deal at a minimum Israel would like to maintain its freedom of action against that emerging threat. >> He specifically says if you got a deal but it doesn't include the missiles, we want to reserve freedom of action. That's exactly what I'm saying to you is that Nedneo puts it in more blunt language to Trump and he did that at Mara Lago and he said if you won't do this then we will force it on you. If you come up with a nuclear agreement which is has shortcomings. It doesn't include if you like weapons and other things. Then we will go alone and you will have no choice but to back it and we will criticize you. we'll go against you if you don't back us and you know that we can we can carry big support in in Washington in those things. So you say Trump is hesitant. I think he's very hesitant because he's been searching around asking all his team desperately find a quick attack on Iran that I can do. Can I do a you know like a Maduro in Venezuela? I want in boom out. I want a quick one. It's got to be clean. We know that uh you know the the the the head of SenCom when he was talking with the Israelis said this specifically. Look, our instructions are he wants a clean, quick operation that doesn't involve any longerterm entanglements within Iran. [clears throat] The problem is that he keeps getting told both by the Israelis and his own team, we're very sorry, but there isn't such a thing. And what he I think is coming to face now is that, you know, if he doesn't get an agreement with Iran, and I think that's highly unlikely that he will, then he faces a long complicated entanglement in Iran. It won't be a short war. It will be a longer war. America likes short wars, but Iran understands that and they will play it because they know that in about uh within two weeks um th

All in all, I think it's a very high-risk operation and I think that may have finally reached President Trump's heaters. But then there's the other question. What if these missiles work and we start losing aircraft? What if the strikes hit some ships at sea? And you know, people want to sink a ship. You don't need to sink these ships in order to make them irrelevant. You put a big enough hole in the flight deck on an aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier's finished. You don't have to sink these things. So, we got to start thinking in terms of how much damage can they do to the fleet. Uh, we don't know. Now, I think the Navy has responded by sailing 1,400 kilometers away from the Persian Gulf. >> Smart move. The problem is that limits your effectiveness, >> right? >> We need to take that into consideration. And we saw that during the Kosovo Air campaign when the Navy discovered that there were two diesel subs, two diesel subs. We summoned a a British and an American nuclear attack submarine. Two two of these submarines that sat right outside the location where the uh two diesel subs were in harbor and they watched that the entire time. But that was not enough. the carrier battle group and service uh service action groups sailed far far away from uh the coast of Yugoslavia or the coast of uh not we can't say Serbia so we'll just say Yugoslavia the Navy's not stupid they're they're aware of this and they understand that if they could hit one of these ships particularly an aircraft carrier people are going to say well geez the these are really vulnerable you know they are, you know, and during the crossbow air campaign, it was at one point u I think it was General Short who suggested it could have been General Jumper. General Clark certainly went along with it and said, "Let's make things easier. Let's just bring all the aircraft from the aircraft carrier that has to sit down somewhere near Greece and Cree and bring them ashore in Italy and put them on air strips." Wel

for USS Gerald R. Ford. A second aircraft carrier has now been deployed. According to Trey this morning, US military equipment continues to flow into the Middle East. Around 150 150 C7 and C5 transport planes. Those are those huge ones, those huge aircraft that are filled with all kinds of military gear uh missiles uh and and uh other military gear. uh to its sencom's area of responsibility. Over the past month, US fighter jets have already been repositioned to regional countries. The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group strike group remains in the Arabian Sea and now the USS Gerald R. Ford will deploy immediately to the Mediterranean. Best I can get calculate from what uh what we have looked in there, what we have available is that there is somewhere uh around the the first week of March is when that thing could be on site. Now, I want to read something to you because there there was some news that came out, I guess a couple of days ago that said that the George HW Bush, the aircraft carrier, had been put on a prepare to deploy orders and then now all of a sudden instead it comes to the Gerald R. Ford. That raised some concern for what happened to the Bush. Well, turns out that there may be a reason. This uh from Larry Johnson sent to me from his he had a naval source uh just an hour ago. He says, "I'm hearing that the Ford uh CSG, that's the carrier strike group, is on the table for a second CSG in the conflict. Something must be seriously wrong with the Bush that is classified. Uh the narrative that they can accomplish this in route, I don't think they can. I know this because it's been done in the past. This tells me that the USS Bush problem is something that can't be fixed fast enough and is classified. In my opinion, the Ford has been at sea too long to surge in my opinion as a last resort. This is what he this is the key part. Lots of data already exists. It shows it is not a good idea. Anything over eight months at sea destroys families, impacts retention mora

that the international order based on rights and rules is currently being destroyed. >> But I'm afraid we have to put it in even harsher terms. >> This order as it has been even in its heyday no longer exists. >> And and who can argue with that? I mean the the evidence is very clear. Whatever existed at the in 1992 when the Warsaw packed in the Soviet Union disintegrated, what whatever existed in 2024 when President Trump was in inaugurated or when he was elected rather and then starting in 2025 when he was inaugurated, there's a lot of changes that have happened and they continue to happen at breakneck speed. We still have the issue and I'll talk about this a little bit at toward the end of this episode. Uh maybe there's going to be a major war breakout in the Middle East with Iran. uh this one here in the in the Russia is still not going away. All those things are are like balls kind of thrown in the air trying to figure out where this is going to land and everyone's trying to navigate what is next for us and where are we as Europe going to go. I want to go back to Friedrich Matz because he said that at another uh he he made a couple of venues at a couple of remarks at two different venues today on this and let's go back to it because he's saying that it's not just military and defense. This is a new world order. Even economically, >> the world around us is fundamentally changing and this is not the up and down of a normal circle and we will be back to what where we come from last year or four years ago. This is so fundamental, this is so tectonic that we now have to understand. And that's the reason why Bart and myself and others we are pushing so hard on the EU Commission and on the parliament to move on and to take priorities now. And my priority is beyond defense competitiveness of our industry. If we are lagging behind longer than we did in the past with our growth rates, with our innovation capacities, we will lose this battle. So, uh, who's to argue with hi

We just don't know what Trump is thinking and who he's talking to and what they're saying to him. You know, it's just very hard to figure out what's going on from statements made by people who are supposed to be close to him. The second point I'd make to you is that Netanyahu may have been very optimistic before the meeting, but it's clear that he was not feeling very optimistic when the meeting ended, >> right? And uh that's why there was no joint press conference and that's what explains the truth social post that Trump put out. Now you say what's going on here? Look, this is very simple. There is no military solution here. It's just that simple. If you look at the Israeli demands and you think about using military force to achieve those demands, there's no way he can do it. And I imagine that Trump understands that, that he can't use force to get what he wants. He also has to surely understand that if he does use force in pursuit of that very ambitious agenda that Netanyahu has presented to him, that he's in a forever war. And Trump's Trump's standing in the polls is plummeting. There are a number of polls now out that show that uh uh a majority of people uh think that uh or I don't know if it's a majority or plurality, but more people uh than not think that Biden did a better job than Trump is doing. uh he his his ratings are going down steadily and the last thing he needs at this point in time uh especially with the midterm elections coming up in November is to get into a forever war and there's no plausible story anybody can tell as to how you avoid a forever war if you attack Iran. Uh so I think what's happening here is Trump is beginning to back off. He understands there's no war-winning strategy available to him. >> Now, there there was uh another true social this morning. I think Gary had it up there a second ago. Uh where I I don't know if he's just hedging or or what, but Trump announc retweeted or re retrod uh this Wall Street Journal article that came 

We have to make a deal. Otherwise, it's going to be very traumatic. Very traumatic. Uh I don't want that to happen. But we have to make a deal. Uh they should have made a deal the first time and they got midnight hammer instead. And this will be very traumatic for Iran. If they don't make a deal, look, if they don't make a deal, then uh it'll be a different story. But we had a very good meeting yesterday with BB Netanyahu and uh he understands. But it's ultimately up to me if the uh deal isn't a very fair deal and a very good deal with Iran and it's going to be a I think a very difficult time for them in the back. >> Uh I guess over the next month something like that. Yeah. Shouldn't take I mean it should happen quickly. They should agree very quickly. Yeah. >> Yeah. I should agree very quickly. We'll see how that plays out. Uh let me give you a few interpretations here. Uh he's talking about how we're going to continue to talk. Now, this is of course in light of his truth social that he posted after the meeting with Netanyahu yesterday saying that he is going to continue to negotiate uh and he's not going to take any definitive actions right now, which without question meant that Netanyahu came there to try to get authorization for military strike didn't get it. And so that's the reason he left. There was no comment here. And now then you hear him talking and he kind of pauses in mid-sentence and starts a new sentence and says, "Well, I mean, he understands talking about Netanyahu. Netanyahu understands. Netanyahu understands that Trump is not going to give the authorization for war." And so he says, "We're going to keep trying to get a deal." Now, here's the problem for President Trump. He has put himself into a really troublesome box that I don't know how he's going to get himself out of. As long as he doesn't get himself out of this box by getting into a war with Ukraine with with Iran, then it's going to be the the best of a bad situation. So, there are some ba

I certainly do not want war. I I hate war. I' I've fought in war. I've been to Lebanon, Iraq, Syria many times. War is a is a horrible thing. But if the United States imposes war for Iran, it will be an existential fight and they will hit as hard as possible. And I have no doubt that the United States is simply incapable of stopping Iran. There's no way to that the United States can prevent Iran from stopping the flow of oil and gas. >> And what what would be the Iranian instinct? What would be the objective? To to fight until the US stops, to fight until things are destroyed. What would be the objective of the Iranian government? >> To end the war. >> So if the US would stop fighting, then so too would Iran under that circumstance? Well, I I guess I mean I you know, we're we're speaking about hypotheticals, but what Iran would do is that it would hit so hard so that and the swiftest amount of time, the shortage of the shortest shortest amount of time, the United States would reassess its actions. Iran doesn't want war, but again, this would be a fight for our survival. For the United States, it would be a uh a war of choice once again. But I what I would say is that the Americans should be very wary about their media. Their media is controlled by the oligarchy, by what I would call the Epstein class. This is the same media that was saying that Russia would collapse in weeks and that the ruble would turn into rubble and that the Russians were using washing machines for chips and they were desperate. Well, now let's let's look what's happening in Ukraine. So, if I were a if I were an American, I would not trust anything that comes out of mainstream media. And I would look more carefully at the map and look at the Iraqis. Iran's allies won the elections in Iraq weeks ago. And Iraqis know that anything if anything bad happens to Iran, that's bad news for Iraq. They said they'll fight. And those forces that General Sullemani trained in Iraq, they will fight. So you have

Many outlets both in Ukraine and in Europe are reporting that there may have been pressure by the Trump administration that Zalinsky must not just have a negotiated settlement by June, but that by May he has to have presidential elections. As of this morning, Zilinsk's official office is saying there is no such deal, but lots of other sources and one of which I had from Ukraine is saying that is on the table and it may happen. Do you think that there's any chance that the the Zillinsky is going to actually be coerced into that? Uh yeah, I think there's a there's a chance uh what we've seen over the last uh five days. So let's go back to last Thursday. Uh Rick Sanchez interviewed Sergey Lavough. Monday, Lavough was then interviewed uh by outfit called Brics TV uh B R I CS. So after the the BRICS movement and then uh yesterday uh Lavough was interviewed by uh Russian television station NTV. Uh message was the same in all those interviews. The relationship with the United States and I'm quoting now is going in the wrong direction. So, and and Love Lavro is very emphatic about saying that what Trump had promised at the Anchorage Summit, he's failed to deliver on and Russia is they're not optimistic about uh where things are headed. um that in fact Trump instead of lifting sanctions, Trump instead of um making some concrete gestures towards Russia has done the exact opposite, adopted almost a hostile posture and in fact just recently within the last week threatening other countries that buy Russian that trade that trade with Iran with 25% tariffs. Well, that means that means Russia, that means China. So, um, the Lavough is saying this this isn't working, you know, the so there's no there's no future there. So, that that's why I see I don't I don't see the United States moving to actually do anything of real substance to to compel Zalinski to cooperate because frankly, we don't have the leverage now. Well, yeah, we haven't had that for a long time. What leverage we have h

He did not run on more war $1.5 trillion dollar defense budget, >> right? >> Most of which we we have no idea where all the money in defense goes. We know that. Can't even audit the damn budget. So where where is the MAGA president? See, I I think it's an illusion. And I think MAGA is dead. I talk to people whenever I talk about America first. That's what's important. Our country, what happens here, that's number one. Everything else takes a back seat and all of these uh optional military adventures need to be cut. That's it. End of end of story. He ran on that. You can go back and find his statements. We're not I'm going to put an end to the endless wars. Everybody every cheer. Great. What we're saying is not only the extension, but the worsening of the whole damn thing. And I'm sure we're going to get to Ukraine, so I will, you know, hold my That's exactly where I was going to go. This if if it was only this one, it would be a huge major issue, but it's not only this one with Iran, which could be about to start. It's about the one that we haven't ended yet. And and by all evidence, it's and this is not now we have to add in the Europeans as well as the Ukrainians and dealing with the Russians as well. So, this gets a lot more messy, but we still have agency on where this one goes, although we haven't used it. And and I want to take a look at what's going on. First of all, uh there is a lot of issues here about I don't know what you even call this kind of tinkering around the edges and doing stuff that that seems like it's going to agitate the Russians but it's not going to actually hurt them. And that is when we have been seizing a lot of these vessels on the open sea whether it's ones with Russian oil, Iranian oil, Venezuelan oil. We seem to be picking and choosing and doing stuff that doesn't help. But when you look at some of the statements by some of those closest to Trump, they think it's a wonderful thing. This is what we did during the first Trump term. And
