Trump Calls Putin To Get Iran War Offramp! w/ Scott Ritter
Scott Ritter and Jimmy Dore analyze Trump's alleged call to Putin for an Iran war off-ramp, claiming sanctions were lifted to let Russia sell oil while Kirill Dmitriev negotiates in Miami. They critique Meta's Ray-Ban glasses for uploading intimate user footage to Kenyan servers and expose Naftali Bennett's "Greater Israel Project," alleging Israel attacked Qatar and Syria to trigger NATO Article 5 against Turkey. Ultimately, the hosts frame Israel as a destabilizing force manipulating global conflicts to expand its regional influence. [Automatically generated summary]

Welcome.
We have a special guest with us, Scott Ritter is here.
Everybody knows him, one-time Marine Intelligence Officer, served in the former Soviet Union implementing arms control agreements.
And from 91 to 98, he serves as the chief inspector for the United States in Iraq.
So, welcome back to the show, Scott Ritter.
Hey, Scott.
Hey, Jimmy, how are you doing?
I'm doing good.
Are you not depressed?
I was just telling you before we went to air that I'm feeling a little depressed about World War III that has started in the Middle East for absolutely over Israel.
What are you?
How are you feeling?
Well, I'm maniacally depressed, but hopeful.
Are you?
I'm hopeful, and this may sound unpatriotic to some people, but I'm hopeful that the United States is on the verge of a strategic defeat of massive proportions, one that will be behavior-altering in the end.
I think Donald Trump is in a very big bind.
I think he's bitten off far more than the United States can chew, and I think he's desperately looking for an off-ramp.
I'm hopeful that Vladimir Putin is the mature, pragmatic, patient leader that he appears to be and will be able to help Trump find a way out of this without us going down the path of World War III.
You know, and as an American, I think it's good for our country to finally realize that we can no longer sustain this, you know, the global hegemony that we've been doing so ignorantly for the last several decades, and that we need to right-size who we are globally.
We need to become good neighbors, not bullies.
So, this is the hope.
It might be a pipe dream.
People might accuse me of picking up a mushroom and eating one that I shouldn't have eaten or something like that.
But I'm actually not as depressed as I was yesterday because I had sort of one of these, what do they call that moment when you have an epiphany?
They have a light bulb moment.
I had a light bulb.
I was Peter in the Damascus desert, and the light went on, and I saw the light.
And I actually think that the Russians are the right people at the right time for this problem set.
And I just see a lot of maturity there, a lot of pragmatism, a lot of realism.
And they're just positioned to actually help end both the conflict in Ukraine and the conflict in Iran.
It may take a couple of weeks, but I think that we are in such big trouble right now that I don't think Donald Trump realizes just how big a trouble he is.
But once he does, Kirill Dmitriev is meeting with Witkoff right now in Miami.
A week ago, Kirill Dmitriev had no, you know, everybody hated him.
They accused him of traitor.
He was a traitor.
He's betraying.
You know, how dare you work with Witkov.
But because Putin didn't fire him, because everybody's questioning it, why does Putin still have Kirill Dmitri around?
Why does he fire him?
Because you keep the diplomacy door open.
And now at this moment, Dmitriev's meeting with Witkov because they're trying to cut a deal, a deal that involves bringing an end to the conflict in Ukraine and an end to the conflict in Iran.
And I'm trusting that this is going to lead us in a good direction, not because Donald Trump's clever, because Vladimir Putin is clever.
So who is the negotiator that Putin has negotiating with Witkoff?
What's his name?
I haven't heard this name.
Kirill Dmitriev.
He's a former Goldman Sachs banker.
I mean, he's a Russian, but he's American trained, and he knows capitalism very well.
He runs a Russian national investment fund.
But he's a guy that when Steve Witkoff first went over, Putin needed somebody who spoke Witkov's language.
You don't take Sergei Lavrov and have him sit down with Steve Witkoff because Witkoff doesn't speak diplomacy and Lavrov doesn't speak banker.
So you brought in Kirill Dmitriev and they both spoke the same language.
They hit it off well.
They get along good.
And he's the guy that helped make Alaska happen.
And now he might be the guy that helps bring an end to these wars.
I was very down on Kirill Dmitriev last week.
If you had talked to me about him last week, I wasn't going to say too much positive.
But this week, I'm just seeing the Russians do things that just show absolute maturity.
It shows patience.
It shows the pragmatism.
And now Dmitriev's in Miami meeting with Witkoff.
And that's a good thing if you want peace.
And so what?
So you think Russia is trying to bring a swift end to this war in the Gulf?
Do you think that they have – tell me what their interest is and what is their leverage?
Their leverage is they're the only thing that's keeping the American economy up right now.
Why do you think Donald Trump lifted all the oil sanctions against the Russians yesterday?
Oh, I didn't know he did that.
Why did he do that?
Because no oil's leaving the Middle East right now.
And so you need oil to come in on the market.
So Donald Trump lifted all oil sanctions and Vladimir Putin's economic problems have been solved.
And everybody who was critical on Vladimir Putin didn't understand it.
He was waiting for just this moment.
And now, you know, instead of selling the Euro grade oil at $23 a barrel discounted, he's now selling it to the Indians at 81 barrel of full price, making a lot of money in the process.
All the Asian purchasers of energy who used to purchase energy from the Middle East can't because the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
So Putin is literally diverting all of his resources down there, opening up, securing those markets.
He's in a solid position.
And right now, Trump, you know, Trump had taken some pretty hardline stances on Ukraine that he's no longer in a position to hold on to.
He needs Russia's help in Iran.
And so the Russians are going to say, we go back to the Alaska formula updated with the most, you know, the most recent information.
You have to get the Ukrainians to do this.
And in exchange for that, we'll get the Iranians to moderate their demands.
And I think, you know, the United States is going to have to leave the Middle East.
I mean, that's one of the things.
It's just a guarantee.
We're not staying there.
The Iranians are going to make the same argument that Russia's always made, that you can't end this war without solving the root cause of the conflict.
Because that's what the Russians have said.
You can't end the Ukraine conflict and leave unresolved the root causes of the conflict, why we had this conflict.
Because if you end it without solving those, we'll just have a conflict in five years.
So Russia's saying when this thing ends, it's over, finished.
And the Iranians are going to be saying the same thing.
When this thing ends, it's over.
It's finished.
And the only way it can be over and finished is America's got to leave the Middle East.
And I think there's a grand bargain to be had out there.
This allows Donald Trump to call himself the greatest peacemaker in the history of all time because he's going to end two wars.
He's going to take credit for it and want to get the Nobel Peace Prize.
And then he'll also tell the American people that I've ended the permanent Middle East conflict.
I got the American troops out of the Middle East.
Now, smart people know that he got his ass kicked and had to retreat.
But to the true believers, there's a deal here in the making.
Who knows how it's going to be finalized?
But there's something in the works right now.
Dmitriev's meeting with Witkov.
This is a huge thing that that's happening.
Witkoff is both the Middle East negotiator, the one who is negotiating with the Iranians, and he's the guy who negotiated with Putin and Dmitriev.
So the fact that Dmitriev is meeting with the guy responsible for managing both of the big problems that Trump has right now means that there's a solution being worked out that links both of these problems together.
So just let me make sure I'm following what you're saying.
So you're saying that since the oil from the Gulf has been stopped because Iran stopped this, closed the Strait of Hormuz.
So all that oil that usually goes to India, usually goes to China, usually goes to Japan, other places is not getting there.
And now, so Trump sees that this could have a devastating effect on the world economy.
And so he decides to lift the sanctions that he had against countries buying Russian oil.
And so now it's okay for places like India to buy Russian oil because he doesn't want their economy to crash and then them be angry at the United States and hold us.
So he's going to say, go ahead, Russia.
You can sell that oil anywhere you want now.
And so now all their economic problems are cured in Russia, if they even had any.
And now, but what he's going to ask Russia is to try to get Iran to accept a peace deal.
That's because Russia, because Iran says they don't want a ceasefire, right?
Iran is like, no, let's go.
Let's fight to the death.
Let's keep this going.
And so Trump is going to be asking Russia to please intervene.
We're going to let you sell your oil everywhere without sanctions.
Please intervene and get Iran to accept a ceasefire and a peace deal.
That's what's happening, you think?
That's what I think.
And I also think the Russians are going to say things like Trump's going to have to lift all sanctions against Iran.
I think Russia is going to tell the Iranians you're going to have to open up your nuclear program to inspection.
But I also think that Donald Trump's going to have to order the withdrawal of American troops from the Middle East.
Now, he'll disguise it as in a phased way, so he declares that he's the greatest peacemaker.
But, you know, the United States lost this war.
There's no doubt about that.
But what Russia doesn't want and what nobody wants is for this war to go to its awful conclusion.
Because right now, the Strait of Hormuz is closed down.
But what happens if you take it to the next level?
And the Israelis are going to do their best to take it to the next level.
They're going to start striking energy facilities.
But last night, Iran struck Israeli energy facilities.
Iran took out some gas and oil processing and put the Israelis on notice that they're going to lose everything if they keep playing.
So the Israelis are now calling up Trump saying, you got to end this thing.
We can't do this again.
We're in trouble.
So there's a lot of pressure right now for a deal.
And so it's up to the Russians right now to get the right deal, one that would be acceptable to the Iranians, provides some political face saving for Donald Trump and constrains Israel's future actions.
You know, and this will be a huge victory for Russia because if Russia's got the oil sanctions lifted, so Russia's economy wasn't collapsing.
All the people that are claiming collections, but there were problems.
There was inflation.
There was a cash shortage, overheated economy.
You had deficit spending and things of that nature, which Russia normally doesn't get involved in.
But now in one fell swoop, I mean, if they keep selling oil at this rate, I mean, they won't know what to do with all the money they're going to have because they're literally selling oil at 23 bucks a barrel.
And now they're going to, now they've gone to India.
I mean, India made a huge mistake buckling to American pressure because India was buying Russian oil, walked in at 23 bucks a barrel.
And then the United States told India, stop buying Russian oil.
And the Indians, like idiots, went, okay.
But now the United States said, oh, you can buy Russian oil.
And they turned to the Russians and the Russians went, yeah, that 23 bucks a barrel, that deal's not on the table anymore, guys.
Now you really need the oil.
You're paying full market price.
And India has to pay full market price because there is no alternative.
They can't turn to the Saudis and say, well, you cut us a deal.
Saudis can't ship oil.
They can't turn to the Kuwaitis and say, well, you sell us.
They can't ship oil.
The United Arab Emirates can't ship oil.
Nobody can ship oil.
Russia can ship oil.
And Russia's selling it full market value and making money.
Meanwhile, all the Asian markets used to buy that stuff too, Indonesia, Philippines, et cetera.
They got to buy it too.
And Russia's going in to fill that.
Russia was sending liquid natural gas up to Europe.
Believe it or not, Europe still bought around 27% of their liquid natural gas from Russia.
But Putin, it's amazing, watch these trackers.
Tankers immediately pivoted and started heading to Asia.
Putin's like, we're not going to sell Europe any energy anymore because they don't need to.
And Europe's now screwed.
And now there's a greater 30% chance that by the end of the month, Europe's going to have to start buying Russian energy, the thing they don't want to do, because, you know, because it funds the war in Ukraine.
But Europe has no choice now because there's no energy coming out of the Middle East.
None.
And so Europe is either going to die or they're going to have to start buying Russian oil.
So Russia's in a very, very strong position right now.
And the United States is in a very desperate position.
We're running out of ballistic missile interceptors.
We're going to be totally defenseless very soon.
And it's very embarrassing for us.
We just stripped the Pacific clean.
We took all our thads, all our patriots, and sent them to the Middle East to help Israel.
The Gulf Arab states are like, you screwed us.
You guys abandoned us.
Why should we ever trust you again?
Which is another reason why the United States will leave.
So there's a deal to be made here because Donald Trump has screwed up so badly.
But I'm still depressed.
I share you.
186 kids died and now we know that we murdered them.
There's no question now.
Pete Heck said that Donald Trump tried to play that stupid game of saying that, you know, it wasn't our cruise missile, wasn't our tomahawk.
Well, now the Department of Defense had to admit it was ours.
We killed them.
And that's depressing because what it means is we're not in control of the targeting.
5,000 targets have been hit by the United States.
And I can guarantee you right now that we don't know what we're bombing.
We're just blowing up buildings and we're killing a lot of Iranians.
And this is one of the reasons why the Iranian government is so furious at us.
By the way, we killed their most religious, you know, important religious man, Ali Khamenei.
It's like killing the Pope if you're Catholic, if you're a Catholic who still believes in the Pope.
But the point is, they killed a very senior religious man.
And the Iranians are outraged.
They're furious.
They're seeing blood red.
And it's going to take a lot to talk them down.
But if there's a deal out there where you can tell the Iranians all sanctions will be lifted, your economy will be functioning for the first time in 47 years.
Strait of Hormuz Crisis00:15:12
For the first time in 47 years, you're going to have a fully functioning economy.
That will go a long way in putting Salv on the wounds that they've suffered.
Could you put a percentage on the chance of this actually happening, the good news that you just gave us?
100%.
And the reason why I'm saying that is that nothing's ever 100%.
I shouldn't have said that, but I'm very confident.
The reason why is this Strait of Hormuz thing is going to spin out of control.
You know, Trump can only lie so many times.
You saw what happened when the Iranians first shut it down.
We saw Brent spike to $115 a barrel.
Then Trump came out and lied, and it brought it down to 81.
But now the fact is we're not, the U.S. Navy said we can't escort ships.
And we said, we'll blow up all their mine sweeping.
Well, they don't use ships to mine, though.
Nobody's sailing through the strait, and no one's going to be sailing through the strait.
And the United States can threaten to bomb and bomb and bomb, but we know that the bombing is not doing anything because all we're doing is blowing up empty buildings.
And there's going to be a crunch in a week's time.
You're going to see the global energy market go, there's no solution here.
There is no alternative.
We've got nothing.
And prices are going to go crazy.
When the Americans start paying, because I mean, right here, already my gas price is over $3.50.
It was $3.11 on Monday.
It's already gone up.
I anticipate by the end of next week, we're probably going to be looking at gas in the four and a quarter range, and it'll keep climbing.
It'll go insanely high because there now will be a global energy crisis.
Diesel, the diesel is the big driver.
Where are we going to get diesel from?
And if we don't have diesel, the trucks don't drive.
And if trucks don't drive, vessels don't get to market.
And now we have a food issue.
We have a supply issue.
Walmart shelves are empty.
And the American people aren't going to put up with this.
They're just not going to put up with this, especially from a president who promised peace and delivered war.
So Trump is going to be desperate for a solution.
He's already desperate for a solution.
He's already making phone calls.
He called Vladimir Putin.
Putin didn't call him.
He called Vladimir Putin because Trump is in a bind.
And again, the key takeaway from this is that Dmitriev's meeting with Witkoff right now.
That is a huge thing because that means that the United States is desperate for a deal, desperate for a deal.
And Dmitriev is the economic guy.
He's not the diplomat.
He's the economic guy.
He's the guy that talks about lifting sanctions, getting the so the economy is a big part of what they're talking about right now and how to prevent the global economy from burning up in hell.
So that's why I say 100%, because there's no way we win this war.
There's no way we reverse where we're at right now.
We can't win this war.
We have lost this war already, and it's only going to get worse.
The question now is, how do we get Iran to play ball?
That's the key one.
And that's where Russia comes in.
And this is where Russia can make the argument to the Iranians.
And again, if I were Vladimir Putin, I'd say, hey, our economy was going through a tough time.
We're going to start to tighten the belt here.
It was going to get tough.
But sanctions are lifted now and we're doing okay.
There's market share out there right now.
So let's get your sanctions lifted.
Let's get your energy to market.
We'll get the Chinese to lock in.
We'll get the Indians to lock in.
And now you've got hard currency flowing in.
And we'll come up with some package with the United States to, you know, about reparations and rebuilding.
It'll be modest.
It won't be what you want, but it'll be face-saving.
But we'll get things turned around here.
And I think the Iranian president who I had the honor to meet, this is what he wanted.
This is what he wants.
He doesn't want permanent conflict with the West.
He wants sanctions lifted.
He wants to be doing business.
Iran is a member of BRICS.
The Russians have a vested interest in Iran.
They have the north-south economic corridor that they were working on to connect St. Petersburg with Chabahar, which is a southern Iranian port, to allow stuff to move into the Indian markets.
That's what Russia's strategic goal is.
They don't want permanent war here.
The Chinese have just built the new Silk Road connecting China with Tehran through rail.
That opens up the Eurasian market, the Central Asian market.
That's where Iran can make a lot of money dipping into that.
This is where they need to be.
This is what BRICS is all about.
And I just think there's a deal to be made here because it's just a win-win-win for everybody.
But the United States has to be in a position where there's some desperation.
And right now, there isn't enough desperation for the United States to make the concessions that are necessary.
But in a week or two, there will be nothing but desperation.
And I think you'll see the United States making the concessions that the Russians are going to demand.
So one of the consequences of shutting down the oil coming out of the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz is that the Gulf countries don't have the money to invest in our stock market like they were.
And so I've had a guest on our show who predicted that once that happens, that our stock market will collapse and our economy will collapse.
So do you think that this will get back to something normal?
Will they, where the Gulf states will start to reinvest in our stock market again?
Or how do you see it playing out?
Again, this is why Kirill Dmitriev is the right guy.
I'm sorry if I'm singing his praise, but you don't realize how much I was down on him a week ago.
I viewed him as a traitor to Russia.
I viewed him as a man who was selling everybody out.
But what you just raised, see, Dmitriev knows this.
He was a Goldman Sachs banker.
He knows the role of, and so he's looking at a broad-spectrum economic deal.
Because what you have to do when you cut this deal, remember, you can't ignore the Gulf Arab states.
So they have to be convinced not to abandon the American market once this war ends.
They've got to be convinced to invest.
They're going to be pretty angry.
They're going to feel betrayed.
And so part of the deal has to be that they aren't going to allow the American stock market to collapse.
They will continue to invest in the American market.
And again, this is why having a Kirill Dmitriev and a Steve Witkoff having these conversations, because these are the details that matter, not the geopolitics of nuclear disarmament and ballistic missile counts and all that.
It's the economy, because this is what's going to make or break Donald Trump in the upcoming midterm elections, is the economy.
And right now, he's looking at disaster in the face.
But if he can pull this off, he might be able to fool enough people to prevent a democratic sweep.
But it's going to require, I mean, Donald Trump's just a natural-born liar, and the American people are natural-born dupes.
And it's a perfect combination.
And that makes me depressed because I'd like to see some accountability.
But what I'd really like to see is this war to end.
I'd really like to see us stop killing Iranians.
I'd really like to see us stop bombing people who did nothing.
I'd really like to see us stop killing children.
186 kids, some of whom bodies were so badly burned, the only way the parents knew that they were in there is because there was a remnant of the backpack that they put on their daughter's back the morning when they sent her to school.
And then we killed her.
I'd really like to see Pete Hegseth held accountable for the crimes he's committed.
But, you know, it was hard to articulate a way out of this because everything led to escalation, escalation.
But when I heard that Dmitriev was meeting with Witkov, I went, that's a game changer right there.
These are the right people at the right time to be having this conversation.
So let me just real quick.
You said the economic pain is coming.
Do you think, so I see it coming too.
Do you think that it can be stopped or mitigated if this negotiation works out with Russia?
Do you think that we could stop some of that economic pain coming our way?
The key thing here is to prevent this war from destroying energy infrastructure, meaning that we have to prevent the Israelis, who are the problem here, from blowing up Iranian oil fields.
Because if they blow up Iranian oil fields, Iran's going to blow up Saudi oil fields, blow up Kuwaiti oil fields.
And now, even if you open the Strait of Hormuz, nothing's going to get produced.
As it is, you know, for instance, Kuwait has shut down oil production.
I'm not, I mean, I'm not an oil man.
I've watched Landman a couple of times, so I think I'm an oil man.
But I do know this, that oil fields have to be managed.
You don't just pump oil out.
As you pump, there's pressure issues.
You have to keep the pressure in.
You have to keep water from coming in.
And so Kuwait has shut down their oil fields, and it's a gradual shutdown.
That means to open them back up, you have to gradually open back up.
So Kuwait's out of the oil manufacturing business for weeks, if not months.
Qatar has shut down their liquid natural gas liquefaction plant.
That's not going to open for weeks.
So even if the war stopped today and the Strait of Hormuz opened up, it's still going to take a lot of time for these oil production people to get back up to speed and get the stuff moving out.
And it's only going to get worse.
But as long as we're not destroying production, it will eventually recover.
But we have to keep the Israelis from committing global suicide.
If Israel continues to attack Iranian energy infrastructure, Iran will destroy regional infrastructure.
And then no matter what happens with the Strait of Hormuz, there won't be recovery.

Be clear.
I got a couple of videos I'm going to show you about how Iran has decided to overwhelm our billions and billions and billions of dollars we'd put into anti-missile technology.
So the whole idea of the Iron Dome that we've been billions of dollars around Israel, it's supposed to be able to, you can't shoot a missile into Israel because they have anti-missile missiles that will shoot down your missile or your rocket or your bomb.
But they actually did beat it and they went low-tech.
Here's how Iran beat our billions and billions of dollars trying to stop them from bombing Israel.
Here's how they did it.
How did Iran actually bypass the Iron Dome using wooden stealth drones?
The advanced defense system is perfectly tuned to track fast heavy metal rockets.
To bypass this shield, engineers completely abandoned modern military materials.
They built a new swarm of kamikaze drones almost entirely out of balsa wood.
Wood and thin fiberglass absorb radar waves instead of bouncing them back.
Instead of hot engines, they used tiny electric motors with zero heat signature.
The drones were programmed to fly at extreme low altitudes, hugging the terrain.
The dome's smart sensors simply filtered them out as flocks of birds or static noise.
The AI didn't trigger interceptors until the wooden swarm was already diving in.
In 2026, the world's smartest shield was pierced by the most primitive technology.
How did Iran actually bypass?
So that's how they did it.
You're the jokes?
Yeah.
So just to summarize where we're at, Iran can beat Israel's missile defense systems with paper airplanes, basically.
That's what balsa wood is.
It's one notch, and I don't even give it that much above a paper airplane.
So you're saying that we could launch all the social media influencers who support the war and radar wouldn't pick them up because of their wooden performances on camera?
That's exactly right, Jimmy.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
So here's another, here's Canada's going to tell you about these drones.
Here's Canada's broadcasting company.
Iran's Shahed attack drones have been hitting targets across the Middle East since the start of the war.
And they're a bigger problem than the U.S. was anticipating.
That's what Trump administration officials told lawmakers during a closed door meeting on Iran.
Here are the facts about the drones.
They're unmanned aircraft that can carry powerful explosives as far as 2,000 kilometers.
They're programmed to hit specific targets and they explode on impact.
Iran was the first country to develop them, but they've also been used by Russia in its war against Ukraine.
They're cheaper to make than the missiles that are often used to shoot them down.
One Shahed drone costs between $20,000 and $50,000 U.S., depending on the model.
The missiles used to intercept them can cost millions.
The drones are roughly 3.5 meters long and have a wingspan of 2.5 meters.
They're small enough to be mounted on the back of a truck.
Shahed drones fly low and slow, up to 185 kilometers per hour, and they can have erratic flight paths.
That makes it difficult to track them on radar and shoot them down.
They make a loud buzzing noise that some compare to the sound of a moped or a lawnmower.
This one hit a Bahrain high-rise building on the first day of the war.
While most of the drones have been intercepted, some have reached their targets despite billion-dollar defense systems.
Iran's Shahad attack.
Despite so billions of dollars against toy airplanes, basically.
Where's all that military money actually going?
I mean, besides the Epstein-Kleinless Defense Fund.
It's got to go somewhere.
So here is a, who is this?
I forget who this is.
We got more news people telling you about this drone.
Detonate, okay?
Oh, here we go.
Here we go.
So when they get up off the ground anyway, from their particular launcher, they will climb and they will dive quite quickly.
And then what will happen is they will overload systems on the ground.
So the chances are that a lot of them will get through.
Sorry, some of them will get through, but some will be knocked out by the anti-aircraft.
So let's have a look at the size of this.
So that's three and a half by two and a half meters.
That's tiny, isn't it?
Yeah.
And that's the whole thing about it as well is that if you put a huge missile up there, it's got more of a template.
So at the end of the day, it could be detected as well.
With this one here, you probably heard on the noise before.
With this particular propeller, this is just a motorbike engine.
Unprogrammed Drone Threats00:04:52
Are you kidding?
No.
It's just a motorbike engine.
Oh, it's 550cc or whatever.
But that's the thing about it is it actually kind of pushes the actual thing through.
The top end.
What's in the noise?
This, the GPS systems around about here, the nose itself is 50 kilos of high explosive.
Okay.
And what happens is the percussion cap on the front there needs to hit something to detonate.
Okay.
So it's unmanned, unprogrammed.
They just put the GPS system in there and they send it through.
But what we've actually got here on the nose as well is metal bars actually slice through everything.
I like how he says it's unmanned.
Yeah, really?
The tiny balsa wood toy airplane is unmanned?
Boy, that guy's good.
Because I think that's why he shaved his head so no one could pull the wool over his eyes.
But anyway, what are you going to say?
Yeah, but can it order pizza with my mind, like our high-tech systems can do, Jimmy?
That's my question.
It's tacky.
You got to admit, it's tacky.
It is tacky.
Iran's drones cost a fraction of the U.S. weapons shooting them down.
What to know about Iran's cheap, noisy Shahid drones and the expensive defense systems trying to stop them?
How much do Iran's drones cost?
Well, first of all, let me just say this about Iran making their drones.
It's almost like they make weapons that will actually win a war instead of just maintaining an endless war to extract wealth from their own citizens.
Isn't that interesting?
So they're building $30,000 drones instead of million-dollar.
See, that's the difference.
Do you see the difference?
Did they doge their military or something, Jimmy?
They must have.
They must have doged it.
They must have doged it.
Is there some kind of lemon law for American weapons technology so that we could get our tax money back?
Because that's what I feel like we need.
Anyway, how much do Iran's drones cost?
Built with off-the-shelf commercial electronics.
Each Shahed, or is that, I don't know how you pronounce it?
Shithead?
It's because you're a shithead.
That's right.
Between 20 and 50 grand to manufacture, depending on the model.
Russia mass produces a version of the Shahid for use against Ukraine.
Iran may have manufactured many thousands of them.
Of the Shafid drones?
How much does it cost to neutralize Iranian drones?
Well, the gold standard in missile defense, the Patriot air defense system, uses interceptors that cost more than $3 million per shot.
It's not that good either.
And they have a very limited supply.
For instance, Lockheed Martin delivered just 620 PAC-3 interceptors in 2025.
That's it.
Great job.
Which broke a record for production.
So if they have to shoot like three, four, or five of those to knock down one drone, so now we're spending $15, $20, $30 million per $20,000 drone.
We are to knock one down.
Whoa.
These are the people who invented chess, it sounds like, Jimmy.
Sounds like it.
We have pushed every counter-UAS system forward, sparing no defense, said Pete Hegseth at a press briefing.
An acknowledgement of the punishing math behind successful interception.
Yes.
Yeah.
Clearly, we just met.
I think we misread the instructions.
And we weren't.
And anyway, see, we're not making hypersonic missiles.
It seems like we're making hypersensitive missiles.
They react poorly to loud noises and flashing nights.
So it doesn't really work out that well.
We're shooting DSA missiles, Jimmy.
We've officially fired off more than 2,000 one-way drones since the United States and Israel started attacking it on Saturday.
And some reached their targets.
Despite billion-dollar air defense system, it's a looming problem, not just in the Middle East, but everywhere.
In a world where attack drones are cheap and defending against them expensive, the bill could become unsustainable over time.
Right now, it's not, though.
But not now.
Really?
Eventually, it might be a problem.
What's our debt?
Okay, I'm just asking.
So, we've officially changed the name of the defense system from the Iron Dome to Ironic Dome.
As American and Israeli strikes increasingly obliterate Iran's drone production facilities, many are watching to see if Russia provides Iran with reinforcements of the Shaheed, potentially escalating the war further.
Russia right now has the larger manufacturing facilities.
After Iran offered production support during the Ukraine war, is Russia going to return the favor?
Meta Smart Glasses Privacy00:13:25
I'm going to give you a question.
What?
Have the Zaran even broke out a hypersonic missile yet?
I don't think they've even broken out a hypersonic missile yet.
I think they might paper airplanes.
Maybe.
They might have.
They might have started using them so far.
Yeah.
So they use their lower-level missiles to deplete all of our Patriot missiles and the Iron Dome missiles.
They've done that.
And I'm to understand now that they are using those hypersonic missiles on Tel Aviv and they are wiping out Tel Aviv.
Oh, that's a real shame.
So they got Netanyahu's home.
They killed his brother.
They bombed his home.
A guy braver than Netanyahu, clearly, because Net Yahoo is flying in the air all the time.
All right.
So that's how they're doing it with the low-tech wooden drones.
It turns out Meta has these smart glasses.
I actually have a pair.
And what they do is they're hooked up to the Meta servers, right?
So what it is, is you can videotape things with your glasses.
And it's kind of clandestine.
And I've got them because I wanted to start doing restaurant reviews because I eat at restaurants almost every day because I don't have kids.
And that's one of the benefits of not having kids is you get to eat at restaurants.
And the bad side is you don't have anybody to bury you.
So I got to adopt somebody to bury me.
But here, Meta, but here's the problem with the called smart glasses.
And the problem is they're spying on you.
Meta smart glasses now have built-in facial recognition, so nobody is anonymous anymore.
Plus, all the footage that being captured, including sensitive material like people going to the bathroom, undressing, or having sex, is being reviewed by contractors in Kenya.
Fully uncensored.
Come on.
Come on.
Well, congratulations, Mark Zuckerberg.
You finally figured out how to take watching someone taking a dump and make it unsexy.
Even in Germany.
Can we just act like all the celebrities on Epstein Island and have ourselves redacted?
So here, our friend James Lee, he did a short video on it.
Is your address for Valley?
Mark Zuckerberg has just added facial recognition to its smart glasses and hopes the public is too distracted by political turmoil to care.
With an internal memo reading, quote, We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.
To use it, you just put the glasses on, then as you walk by, people with the glasses will detect when somebody's faces in friend.
This photo is used to analyze them.
And after a few seconds, their personal information pops up on your phone.
Whoa!
Cambridge community.
What?
What the hell?
Oh, hi.
No.
Wait, are you a that scene?
Oh, okay.
I think I think I met you through like the Cambridge Community Foundation, right?
Yeah.
And not only are they identifying people through the glasses, if you're one of the people wearing the glasses, you are being watched as well.
The investigation found that much of the footage captured by Meta Smart Glasses, of which more than 7 million pairs have reportedly been sold, is being reviewed by contract workers at a Kenya-based company called SAMA.
They say that sensitive and personal footage captured by the devices, including people going to the bathroom, getting dressed, and having sex, is being reviewed by contractors who see all of it uncensored.
Whoa.
Oh, my God.
You know, there's always going to be one guy who only sees the bright side.
Well, thank God it's not Americans watching me beat off.
That's all I can say.
Hang on.
What could possibly go wrong?
What could possibly go wrong?
So exactly as predicted, Meta's smart glasses are drifting towards something far more useful to corporations than sunglasses with a camera, a wearable surveillance network.
Reports now show facial data collection features being enabled across devices, turning everyday users into walking data collectors, whether they realize it or not.
None of this should surprise anyone.
Americans have been slowly surrounded by this infrastructure for years.
Flock safety cameras, they're called FLOCK, F-L-O-C-K, FLOC safety cameras, track license plates across cities.
Did you know that?
Ring doorbells build neighborhood surveillance grids.
Did you know that?
That's just like that Super Bowl commercial.
Alexa speakers sit quietly in living rooms listening for commands while collecting behavioral data.
Meta's glasses just take the next logical step and put the cameras directly on your face.
Mass surveillance with walking legs.
So now somebody wearing smart glasses is like the new smoker.
They're not welcome anywhere, not even outside.
So that's, I guess that's good.
I got a feeling people wearing those glasses are going to be keeping dentists in business, if you know what I mean.
Rick, how are they going to be keeping dentists in business?
Because if you've ever seen those videos of the people who are called auditors and they hold up a camera and they got a mask and on YouTube and they're just trying to get you to do something aggravated and then breach their rights to First Amendment auditors.
Yeah, it's going to be the same people that go to punch those guys once they find out glasses.
You're going to have just your style of glasses and my, I better not wear thick lens glasses.
They're going to assume I'm wearing a camera now.
I'm going to catch one in the face.
Oh, so you're saying that so they're keeping dentists in business because people are going to be smacking them.
That's what you're saying.
Well, I think they're going to get into a situation where the same people that don't like being videotaped because they're holding their phone are going to not like anyone wearing glasses that look like it could be.
So they're going to have to go to lens crafters and come up with new style.
It doesn't trigger it.
So here, this is from Tech Cabal.
Kenyan workers training Meta's AI glasses say they see users' most intimate moments.
And this is from right now, March 4th, 2026.
Yes.
An investigation by Swedish newspapers, Svenska Daglabeta, has revealed that contract workers in Kenya hired by SAMA, that's a Kenyan outsourcing firm that provides data annotation services to help train Meta platforms' AI systems are deeply exposed to personal images and videos captured by users of the company's Ray-Ban smart glasses, of which I have a pair.
The report published on February 27th shines a light on the hidden human labor behind Meta's push into wearable artificial intelligence and raises fresh questions about data protection, cross-border data transfers, and the psychological toll on content moderators working for SAMA in Nairobi.
This is all real.
Meta's Ray-Band smart glasses developed in partnership with this other company are marketed as AI-powered assistant that can translate languages, describe surroundings, capture hands-free photos and videos, and answer questions about what the user is seeing.
So, when you were wearing these glasses, whatever you're looking at, you just have to say, hey, Meta, what am I looking at?
And it'll take a picture of it and it'll go on the internet and figure out what that is.
And if you look at a person, it'll find out who that person is and tell you what their name and address is.
However, beyond the futuristic pitch, interviews with Sama and Meta's current and former employees revealed that footage recorded through the glasses ends up thousands of miles away in Kenya, where data annotators review and label it to improve the system's performance.
Several Kenyan workers told the Swedish newspaper that they regularly encounter sensitive material in the course of their work, including ordinary household scenes to intimate moments that users may not have realized were being captured.
In some cases, footage includes financial information, such as bank cards visible in the frame or recordings made in private spaces like bedrooms or bathrooms.
Wow.
Smart glasses are what stupid people think make them smart, but they don't make you smart.
The glasses are just smarter than you.
That's all.
In some videos, you can see someone going to the toilet or getting undressed.
I don't think they know because if they knew, they wouldn't be recording.
Another contractor, you think?
Another contractor claimed they reviewed footage showing the wearer of the glasses, setting them down on a bedside table only for their wife to walk into the room and undress, presumably unaware she was being watched.
Other footage reportedly showed the wearer watching porn or even recording themselves having sex.
According to the investigation, there was little transparency for the wearables.
Retailers in Europe reportedly gave inconsistent information about whether data captured by the glasses remains on the device or is transmitted to meta servers.
So it turns out it is transmitted to meta servers.
Independent testing cited in the report indicated that many of the glasses' AI features require cloud connectivity.
So I've been trying to figure out how to use these.
And you have to like, you have to, if you take a video of something, it gets uploaded to Meta's cloud server.
And I was like, what?
Why can't I just put it in the glasses and then download it from my glasses to my computer?
That's what I want.
No, you have to upload it to a Meta cloud server.
So that's why I haven't been doing it.
Meaning, images and voice inputs can be processed remotely rather than locally on the device.
So you have to upload it to their cloud.
That's exactly right.
Meta states in its privacy policies that users' content may be subject to human review to improve products and ensure safety.
They always care about your safety.
Yeah.
Yeah, just like Chris Christie worries about overeating at a buffet.
For your safety.
For sure safety.
For European users, the company's Iris subsidiary is responsible for compliance with the European Union's general data protection regulation.
However, the investigation raises questions about how the data collected in Europe or the United States is transferred and processed in countries such as Kenya, which do not have a European Union adequacy decision recognizing their data protection regimes as equivalent.
While data annotation, content, moderation, and AI training have become critical to Nairobi's tech ambitions, these jobs, primarily for college students and young graduates, come with very low pay, heavy workloads, and exposure to disturbing material.
Meta has defended its practices in previous public statements saying it invests in privacy safeguards and minimizes the amount of data used for training.
Still, the accounts published by the Swedish papers suggest that the line between automated intelligence and human oversight is blurrier than many consumers assume.
No kidding.
Hey, guess what?
Polymarket says breaking.
Meta is being now being sued over their AI smart glasses after it was revealed that workers allegedly review intimate personal footage.
Wow.
But when you think about it, that's kind of what they were designed for all along, right?
Nothing that is supposed to be this big of a convenience for you is not going to serve the establishment.
That's what this is.
Wow.
So I was excited about my meta, the Wayfair glasses that videotape stuff.
And I found, I was like, what?
I can't just.
I tried to use it.
And I'm like, oh, it's got to go up to their cloud.
I don't want that to happen.
I don't want to be uploading everything that I look at up to the cloud to their cloud.
I wanted to upload it to my glasses and then download it to my computer and then I would use it in my videos.
That's what I'm saying.
You can't gift them to anybody you know because they'll be looking at you.
That's right.
So this is the dystopian future we all worried about.
It's here and it's being brought to you by Mark Zuckerberg, the environmentalist who has a 450-foot yacht.
He's a 450-foot yacht with four giant diesel engines.
But I'm sure it has an electric stone.
Somebody in the chat just mentioned that their glasses that don't have that.
So you can get camera-equipped glasses that store data locally and usually built-in memory card or via a direct USB.
What is the no Wi-Fi, no app camera glasses?
Turkey Emerges as New Threat00:03:38
Oh, yeah.
So what is the brand?
I have BQXX.
BQXX.
Or OOOHO Sunshine Camera Glasses.
I wish I had Kestrel.
I wish I would have known.
I'll get that.
I'll get those.
So just so you know.
Can you write that down so I can look it up?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
So again, the good news is there is no good news.
That's the bad news.
So do you remember how we told this?
Is a former prime minister Naftali Bennett of Israel?
And I think I showed you this before.
I'll show it to you again.
He, the Greater Israel Project involves Israel going into Saudi Arabia, going into Iraq, going into Egypt, and going into Turkey.
And going into Syria.
So they've already taken a third of Syria, Israel.
We already did Iraq for them.
And now they want to do Turkey.
So they've already bombed Saudi Arabia.
Israel did.
They already tried to bomb Qatar.
Israel did.
And now here's the former prime minister telling you that they want to bomb Turkey.
Listen.
A new Turkish threat is emerging.
I want to be very clear.
Turkey and Qatar have gained influence in Syria, are seeking influence elsewhere and everywhere throughout the region.
And from here, I warn Turkey is the new Iran.
So he said this just a few weeks ago.
Is sophisticated, dangerous, and he seeks to encircle Israel.
And while some senior-I thought that was Iraq, then I thought that was Libya.
I thought that was a Sha'Assad.
I thought that was Iran.
Now it's Turkey.
They're seeking to encircle everybody.
They didn't send like strong applause for his.
That was not strong applause.
It was like his wife going.
The Israelis were on Qatar's payroll.
Qatar and Turkey are nourishing the Islamic Brotherhood monster that is growing and eventually might become as dangerous as the one created by Iran.
Turkey and Qatar are gaining influence not only in Syria, but also in Gaza through the front door and everywhere and trying to create a new choke ring.
Turkey is trying to flip Saudi Arabia against us and establish a hostile Sunni access with nuclear Pakistan.
So that shows you how crazy Israel is.
They want to attack everybody.
They want to attack Saudi Arabia.
They want to attack Qatar.
They want to attack Turkey.
They've already attacked Syria, Libya, Iran.
They want to do it.
They don't want to do it.
Right.
They want us.
So it turns out, so this has already come true.
So Israel has attacked Turkey.
And here's our friend Nico House to tell us about it.
If it wasn't obvious that Israel was trying to get NATO powers involved in this war against Iran before, it should be now.
A ballistic missile was launched at Turkey out of nowhere, and NATO shot it down.
And of course, the blame was immediately put on Iran.
Once again, now I'm sure there's a lot of proof to validate that claim because if you're going to claim that Iran is firing at one of its regional allies, I hope you got some evidence supported.
Restoring Microbial Balance00:02:12
Yeah, there actually isn't any evidence.
In fact, the only material that have been shown publicly is debris, which Turkey says comes from the interceptor missile from the NATO systems.
In other words, there's no proof whatsoever that Iran launched its attack, and yet the world is once again pretending as if it did.
And of course, once again, Iran acknowledging, yeah, we've done a lot of damage to a lot of U.S. allies, but this was not us.
Once again, we'll be right back with more of this story after a brief message from our sponsor.
Hey, the next pandemic, according to the experts, isn't a virus.
It's antimicrobial resistance or when antibiotics no longer work.
But here's what they're not talking about.
The real damage isn't just resistant bacteria.
It's what decades of antibiotic overuse does to your gut.
Antibiotics don't just kill the bad bacteria.
They wipe out the good ones too.
And when your gut microbiome gets thrown off, everything starts to break down.
Immune function, metabolism, inflammation control, even brain health.
And the most powerful way to rebuild that kind of microbial diversity is through a century-old fermented food, kimchi.
Kimchi contains over 900 unique strains of beneficial probiotics that are naturally antimicrobial, which means it's antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-parasitic.
Because it's not about killing everything, it's about restoring balance.
That's exactly why Bridecorp created Kim Chi1.
It delivers the full microbial ecosystem of fresh kimchi in convenient daily capsules, cold processed, dried to deliver all the nutrition of natural fermented kimchi.
If you want to strengthen your gut, support your immune system, and rebuild microbial diversity the right way, today you can get an exclusive offer by clicking the link below for 25% off your entire order.

Israel Dragging NATO In00:04:29
Now, the first question we have to ask is who would stand the most again by the world jumping to conclusions that Turkey was attacked by Iran.
And of course, the answer is Israel.
You see, Turkey is a part of NATO.
And when a NATO power is attacked unprovoked, it triggers what's called Article Section 5, which to make a long story short is basically all of NATO being on your goddamn head.
Now, the logical question will be, well, then why isn't all of NATO jumping in right now, considering that the U.S. is part of NATO?
It's because Iran has only responded to the attacks from the U.S.
They did not initiate those attacks, but Iran was also accused of attacking another NATO country early on, the UK.
Because the UK has a sovereign base in Cyprus, and attacking that base is actually akin to attacking the UK directly.
And with the news that the Kurds would be sent into Iran by the CIA and armed to try to take over the government, you would want to do your best to make sure that Turkey is on your side and not Iran's side because Turkey and the Kurds do not get along.
So we see an attack on Azerbaijan and Iran said they didn't do it.
Then we see an attack towards Turkey where the missile was intercepted and Iran also said they didn't do it.
And Turkey borders Azerbaijan.
And although Azerbaijan and Turkey have a working military relationship, so does Azerbaijan and Iran for the most part.
So how do you ensure Turkey stays on your side despite the fact that you plan on arming the people that they most dislike?
You have the country in question attack Turkey directly.
This way you kill three birds with one stone.
You open up a direct route through Turkey and Azerbaijan to attack Iran.
You potentially convince all of the NATO powers to join because of Article 5.
And if Turkey truly believed that they were attacked by Iran, they would likely put their feelings about the Kurds to the side like they did in Syria and deal with the country that just attacked them despite the fact they thought that they were allies and the fact that Turkey condemned the attacks on Iran since start of this war.
And you convince one of the countries closest to Iran to start using its weapon systems against Iran as well.
All the signs are there, people.
Just pay attention.
Israel is literally revealing their plans in real time.
It's just up to you as to whether or not you want to believe them.
Because after all this time and all this history and all the examples we have from the past, I definitely believe them.
They ain't got to convince me no more.
It's y'all that got to convince.
So great work.
So we've also showed you videotapes of Tucker Carlson saying that they caught Mossad inside Qatar trying to plant bomb Qatar and I think Saudi Arabia.
But we know that Israel bombed Saudi Arabia's oil, one of their oil refineries.
So we know this.
Qatar being the country that delivered the money to Hamas on behalf of BB Net and Yahoo.
That's right.
Who paid for Hamas and the false flag that they use as a pretense to do a genocide?
That is correct.
So it's no secret that Israel wanted to attack Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey.
They've done it.
And so this is their, and so yeah, they're trying to drag NATO into this war for sure.
We'll see.
We'll see what happens.
Israel is the cancer.
Israel is the stabilizer of the Middle East, and having a destabilized Middle East is bad for the entire world, except it's good for Israel.
I have some super chat fan on the Derby Gerb show that keeps telling me that, according to the Bible code, already I'm like, we're not in, BB gets slimed in July, which I had to look up what that meant, but that they get sick of BB in July.
So, you know, it's probably nonsense, but boy, what a fun thing if that happened.
And it was like, oh, it was in a Bible code.
Wow.
