=== Iran's Nuclear Bomb Possibility (15:40) ===

[00:00:05]  Not just anybody.
[00:00:08]  You know, I need someone.
[00:00:12]  When I was younger, so much younger than today. I never needed anybody's help in any way.
[00:00:22]  But now these days are gone, and I'm not so selfish.
[00:00:27]  Now I find the change of mind and open up the doors.
[00:00:39]  you This is Jim Fetzer, your host on The Rod Deal, right here on Revolution Radio Studio B this 8th day of April 2026, joined by Russ Winter and we anticipate Joaquin Agopian for another fearsome, threesome edition.
[00:01:07]  We begin with Hal Turner's warning something is up about this ceasefire.
[00:01:14]  He thinks there's skullduggery afoot, and I find it hard to disagree.
[00:01:21]  Last night, the world enjoyed a big announcement of a Two week ceasefire in the Iran conflict, but overnight into the morning, things are not quite what they initially seemed.
[00:01:33]  Overnight, Kuwait shot down 28 Iranian drones, all clearly launched after the ceasefire was announced.
[00:01:42]  Israel took multiple waves of Iranian missile fire after the ceasefire was announced.
[00:01:48]  United Arab Emirates is currently under an Iranian missile attack as of 8 10 a.m. Eastern Wednesday.
[00:01:58]  Iran, via state media reports, strikes from an unknown adversary against its refinery in Levant Island and the oil infrastructure there.
[00:02:09]  Moreover, reports indicate that Iran's Suri Island in the Persian Gulf is also being bombed.
[00:02:17]  According to Iranian media, the strikes on Suri Island are being carried out by the armed forces of the United Arab Emirates.
[00:02:25]  Oil infrastructure is being targeted.
[00:02:29]  More interesting, the US military air bridge from CONUS to Europe continued all night unabated.
[00:02:37]  Whatever the US had been moving to the Middle East continues to move in great quantity.
[00:02:41]  So this ceasefire is tenuous at best and a lie at worst.
[00:02:48]  Here we have more updates, by the way.
[00:02:51]  UAE's major Hasheman gas facility, three Kuwaiti power plants, and water desalinization.
[00:02:58]  Facilities, now a pumping station in Saudi Arabia's Keys to Eswat Pipeline, have been attacked by Iran today.
[00:03:07]  So they're not just going to stand by passively under the guise of a ceasefire and allow this to happen.
[00:03:14]  Here's Hal Turner's own assessment.
[00:03:18]  The ceasefire has added such a schizoid layer to the increasingly surreal Iran war that my ability to critically assess events has collapsed.
[00:03:28]  I merely ingest a stream of contradictions like an addicted bivalve.
[00:03:34]  The financial markets seem to be in active denial of the reality playing out right now.
[00:03:39]  Overnight, oil plummeted 21% in price, with the financial people confident things would now cool off.
[00:03:47]  That isn't happening.
[00:03:49]  I told my wife this morning things aren't getting any better, and that I want us to go to the bug out location in Pennsylvania soon.
[00:03:57]  She said, soon, but not today.
[00:04:01]  She skates to go up there, I'm thinking, tomorrow.
[00:04:05]  Complicating our departure is that we have tickets to see Paul Anken concert around April 15th here in New Jersey.
[00:04:12]  Phyllis has her tickets to the show as her birthday present on September.
[00:04:16]  I spent the $700 to get up.
[00:04:19]  Now, being locked into that is adversely affecting my belief we should get out of the New York City area for a while.
[00:04:25]  It's always something.
[00:04:28]  Russ, that's quite stunning.
[00:04:30]  Your thoughts?
[00:04:32]  I think if we're talking about the origins of the ceasefire, I think what happened is that my theory is that the CENTCOM basically nixed Trump's targets or head access targets, says, you know, we're not hitting these targets.
[00:04:49]  It's a violation of the rules of war, warfare.
[00:04:54]  And I think that they intervened and basically said, no, no, not going to hit those targets.
[00:04:59]  And so then Trump sort of had to back down on his Stone Age threat.
[00:05:04]  And then And then I think he kind of reached out to Iran, and Iran said, okay, we'll cut you a little slack here.
[00:05:11]  Since you're not going to bomb us back in the Stone Age, we're going to go ahead and do this little play ceasefire thing for a while with you, see how that goes.
[00:05:21]  Knowing full well it probably won't last more than a day or two.
[00:05:25]  So that's kind of what set this thing up.
[00:05:30]  Well, Game, what's your assessment?
[00:05:31]  Al Turner is telling us they call it a ceasefire, but it does look like to him like that's what's actually happening.
[00:05:38]  Your thoughts?
[00:05:41]  Well, you know, they were looking for an exit.
[00:05:44]  And, you know, Iran was not budging, you know, week after week.
[00:05:49]  They were not going to even settle for a ceasefire.
[00:05:52]  I'm a little surprised, actually.
[00:05:55]  You know, I mean, anytime that the violence stops and people are able to stay alive, that's a good thing.
[00:06:03]  But of course, we know, you know, just like we knew last June when they did the ceasefire and supposedly ended it.
[00:06:13]  Iran, and we all knew that Israel and America would be coming back for another war, another go at it.
[00:06:22]  And of course, that's what happened.
[00:06:24]  So it really isn't a surprise.
[00:06:27]  And, you know, obviously, Trump is desperate because they have lost so much in the way of the infrastructure.
[00:06:36]  I don't even know that we have a fighting force in the Middle East anymore.
[00:06:41]  You know, they had to completely vacate all the posts that they've been.
[00:06:46]  What, since the early 90s, I think.
[00:06:48]  Yeah, long time.
[00:06:50]  So they're done.
[00:06:53]  And that's the demand that Iran has had all along.
[00:06:57]  Get your ass out of the Middle East.
[00:07:00]  You are not the world policeman anymore.
[00:07:03]  You know, we're going to be an equal nation among other equal nations.
[00:07:08]  That's the way the whole world wants to go the people and most countries, all the countries.
[00:07:14]  It's only the US and Israel that are the belligerents.
[00:07:18]  That are causing all the wars, you know.
[00:07:20]  So it's time to just cut them off and the rest of the world kind of unite against them.
[00:07:28]  And I'm talking only the governments, obviously, the American people and even the Israeli people.
[00:07:34]  I don't want anybody to die.
[00:07:36]  But boy, their governments are out of control.
[00:07:39]  And Trump, look at that bastard.
[00:07:41]  I mean, he's just amazing.
[00:07:43]  He's getting worse and worse every day.
[00:07:49]  Iran can't possibly trust the word of the United States.
[00:07:52]  Twice before, in the midst of negotiations, the United States attacked.
[00:07:58]  I suspect that may be the plan now.
[00:08:00]  What I find most disturbing about Hal Turner's report is the shipment of weapons to Europe is continuing unabated.
[00:08:07]  That tells me Trump may have decided he needed more time to beef up his forces for the massive assault he plans that could destroy a civilization.
[00:08:21]  I mean, these claims he's making are so outrageous.
[00:08:27]  It is truly astonishing that we're hearing these things from a president of the United States.
[00:08:36]  You know, another thing that happened on the sitcom is that the Iranians' people went out and blocked the surrounded power plants and the bridges and unhurled their flags, and they're basically defending.
[00:08:52]  With their honor and their lives, and that's pretty bad optics.
[00:08:56]  I mean, I think the CENCOM guys are probably smart enough to know that that's not going to look good if we bomb these people.
[00:09:02]  So, that I think that was another element.
[00:09:04]  They kind of boycotted them out of war crimes, and plus, I think The Hague is looking at these guys.
[00:09:13]  You know, I do think that The Hague is working on war crimes, yeah, they're war criminals, they need to be brought down for all their crimes.
[00:09:23]  This is really good.
[00:09:24]  I think Iran is, I admire Iran and the Iranian people.
[00:09:29]  They have shown their true colors as really strong and brave and always fair minded and peaceful loving people.
[00:09:39]  You know, it's always the American government that's the brute.
[00:09:43]  Yeah.
[00:09:44]  Here we have a report on B 52s, which, my understanding, they were already en route to Iran when it was called off.
[00:09:55]  Let me get there.
[00:10:10]  Now, if Donald Trump goes on this attack, that's another important question.
[00:10:18]  Is he going to achieve his objectives?
[00:10:24]  Chances are he's going to kill a lot of innocent people.
[00:10:30]  They have the capacity.
[00:10:33]  The B 2 bombers are already on the way from the United Kingdom, another genocidal country supporting Israel and the United States.
[00:10:44]  With not only the genocide in Gaza, but now this ongoing war of aggression against Iran.
[00:10:50]  They're making their way to Iran and they're about to reach in a similar time to that ultimatum.
[00:11:00]  What are they carrying?
[00:11:01]  Are they carrying nuclear bombs?
[00:11:04]  What is it exactly that they're going to do there?
[00:11:07]  Are they going to land one bomb or two or how much are they going to land?
[00:11:13]  What is going to happen exactly?
[00:11:17]  In Iran, if they do land these bombs, they will be killing a lot of people, but that would not necessarily stop the resistance against them.
[00:11:30]  Because Iran is prepared for all scenarios.
[00:11:35]  They are also prepared for another scenario, and that scenario is them nuking back.
[00:11:46]  The man who.
[00:11:49]  Had a religious decree to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb, has been martyred.
[00:11:57]  There's a notion that Iran had a nuclear bomb even during that time.
[00:12:03]  That is unconfirmed.
[00:12:06]  After his passing, and because many people inside of Iran were trying to convince him to change his opinion, there was a desire to have a nuclear weapon in the form of deterrence.
[00:12:24]  That could have been the case before and it was hidden.
[00:12:28]  That could have become the case immediately after the war of aggression began by the United States and Israel against Iran, similarly to how other policies changed from Iran towards anything to do with their security or with their armed forces.
[00:12:51]  So there is a possibility that Iran has several nuclear bombs now.
[00:12:59]  Let's not forget that there was an operation that included, according to the American president, 155 aircraft that belonged to the American army, supposedly to rescue one pilot.
[00:13:16]  Iran said that this could have been an attempt, a cover-up attempt from the United States to try and steal the enriched uranium.
[00:13:27]  Why would the United States want to steal the enriched uranium now?
[00:13:36]  They would want to steal the enriched uranium now because they know that Iran can convert all of that enriched uranium to at least nine nuclear bombs.
[00:13:49]  So far, by the way, Professor Ted Postel of MIT has explained how simple it is for.
[00:13:57]  Iran to convert its enriched uranium into warheads, nuclear warheads for its missiles.
[00:14:03]  Here's another observation I think one hundred percent correct.
[00:14:08]  Preemptive strikes against United States assets have never been more justified than now.
[00:14:14]  If Donald Trump is prepared to green light attacks against the Iranian people that destroy the essential infrastructure for continued life there, if he's truly ready and willing to cut all state electricity supplies, Which will bring a collapse of the entire energy safety net to millions.
[00:14:34]  If he is willing to see the mass death of Iranians first in hospitals and through poverty and disease, and as seems likely, he is contemplating using nuclear weapons to do this, then there's a duty for others to hit his capacity to do this as hard as they possibly can with preemptive strikes on U.S. state assets.
[00:14:59]  The obvious risk to other states, including China, which Trump has set his neck, Plus, others in South and Central America and later to North Korea, Russia, and China is clear.
[00:15:11]  It makes sense for them to make a unified attack on as many U.S. state institutions as possible, both military and state intelligence agencies, particularly the Pentagon.
[00:15:24]  Naturally, this suggestion appears wild, even insane.
[00:15:28]  But how much wilder and more insane is Donald Trump in the very real possibility that he will use nuclear weapons against Iran?
[00:15:36]  The word is that he said that everyone in the U.S. should tune in to Fox commentator Mark Levine subsequently.
[00:15:44]  Levine.

=== Israel's Rogue Nuclear Option (09:15) ===

[00:15:45]  Clearly, he advocated the use of nuclear weapons as a better option than sending in ground forces.
[00:15:52]  Could Trump's intent, or at least his inclinations, be clearer?
[00:16:01]  Russ, I think that's an impeccable point.
[00:16:04]  I believe that if Iran has missiles with the reach, hitting the Pentagon and even Washington, D.C., would be completely legal, completely moral, completely politically justified.
[00:16:19]  In self defense, given the extraordinary claims of Trump to destroy the entire Iranian nation to rubble, which, by the way, has always been Bibi Netanyahu's aspiration.
[00:16:32]  It had nothing to do with enriched uranium or shutting off their ability to develop bombs or changing regime.
[00:16:43]  It was always to destroy Iran and turn it to rubble, rust.
[00:16:49]  I don't think they need long range missiles at all.
[00:16:52]  They can just turn loose, hire a bunch of Sicaro guys out of Mexico and give them drones and drive around in trucks and unload the drones and just do attacks all over the United States, just low grade terror attacks or sabotage more precisely.
[00:17:12]  But I think that Iran just basically has a ratcheting up process.
[00:17:16]  First on their list is probably, and this will take down the whole market, stock market, are the major.
[00:17:23]  AI facilities and technology facilities around the Middle East, because that's a lot of those are concentrated in the Gulf states.
[00:17:32]  So, those are prime targets.
[00:17:35]  As far as U.S. targets, I think that's a given, but I don't think they need nukes.
[00:17:39]  I don't think they need missiles for that.
[00:17:41]  They can create a lot of trouble just as partisans.
[00:17:45]  And there's probably people in the United States that are Americans that would get on board with some of this stuff.
[00:17:53]  Well, anyone looking at their tit for tat strategy, if the United States is trying to take out their electrical grid, Iran could take out the American electric grid.
[00:18:03]  Right, right.
[00:18:04]  But Israel's going to be first.
[00:18:05]  Israel's going to be first because Israel's an easy target.
[00:18:08]  So, I mean, I think it's just, and Israel's the worst of the two.
[00:18:13]  I mean, they're even demonstrating that now.
[00:18:16]  You know, you could almost argue that Trump maybe realized he went overboard on the Stone Age stuff and he couldn't really follow through on it because his generals were saying no.
[00:18:25]  So he kind of exited that.
[00:18:28]  Kind of doing this little play ceasefire.
[00:18:31]  But meanwhile, here's Israel going crazy in Lebanon.
[00:18:36]  They're putting some heavy duty ordnance this afternoon on Beirut.
[00:18:41]  I have some clips later on the show we'll look at.
[00:18:44]  So I think that Iran's focus is the Middle East, getting the United States defeated in the Middle East, maybe reducing Israel a little bit more and hitting U.S. technology in the Middle East.
[00:18:57]  It could do a lot of damage to the U.S. just in the Middle East.
[00:19:00]  So I think that's their main front.
[00:19:02]  Yeah, I don't think they're going to be fooled again.
[00:19:05]  I truly do not.
[00:19:06]  They're obviously going to approach us with extraordinary caution and look for all the signs, and the signs are it's a continuation of the war.
[00:19:15]  There's already talk that they're stopping the flow of traffic just an hour or two ago.
[00:19:21]  They apparently let some ships pass this morning, and now they're stopping them again.
[00:19:26]  So it looks like the flow through the Strait of Hormuz has already stopped.
[00:19:31]  Joaquin.
[00:19:33]  My understanding is basically only Israel and the United States and the other countries in this world can negotiate, and with fees, they can pass through it on a case by case basis.
[00:19:48]  I don't think it's been a problem, really.
[00:19:51]  I mean, yeah, I know that there's still probably a lot of congestion and a lot of ships still waiting in limbo, but for the most part, I believe that Iran's been working.
[00:20:02]  With other countries.
[00:20:04]  And there are other ships going through from other nations that, you know, they even came out and said, you know, if you're not against us, then, you know, we'll let you pass, you know.
[00:20:16]  I mean, Iran has always been fair, always on the defensive.
[00:20:21]  They never do the offensive like Israel and America.
[00:20:26]  But they have every right to.
[00:20:27]  I agree with you, Jim.
[00:20:29]  I mean, they could do, you know, unprecedented.
[00:20:34]  Attack on, on even U.s soil, and and basically have justification, legal justification, because what the U.s is is is bound and determined to do is is eliminate a lot of their population and the infrastructure that's going to support that population and and you know it's it's going to be total dire circumstances for is for Iran, unless they do something.
[00:21:04]  So They're on the edge, but they are Ready.
[00:21:07]  And again, we've said many times, they've prepared for this moment in time over many, many years.
[00:21:14]  Yes.
[00:21:14]  And they've obviously prepared for the nuclear option.
[00:21:18]  There should be no doubt about it.
[00:21:21]  Meanwhile, I think they might even have a nuclear weapon now.
[00:21:25]  I believe they do.
[00:21:26]  In fact, as I was mentioning, Professor Postle from MIT explained how effortless it would be to convert their enriched uranium into warheads for their rockets.
[00:21:36]  And they wouldn't even need to test them.
[00:21:38]  They wouldn't even need to test them to know they were going to work.
[00:21:42]  So, for anyone who missed the point, Trump claimed that he was going to destroy a whole civilization tonight.
[00:21:49]  This was last night at 8 p.m. Eastern.
[00:21:53]  Last night, as before, I boasted an essay on Mark Levin's exhortation to President Trump to use nuclear weapons on Iran.
[00:22:01]  This morning, I woke up to President Trump's announcement on truth social.
[00:22:05]  Donald J. Trump.
[00:22:07]  A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.
[00:22:13]  I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.
[00:22:17]  However, now that we have a complete and total regime change where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen.
[00:22:28]  Notice he uses that odd word, revolutionarily wonderful.
[00:22:32]  He's talking about the Iranian people rising up with a revolution against their leaders.
[00:22:37]  It ain't going to happen.
[00:22:39]  Who knows, he says.
[00:22:41]  Well, the rest of the world does.
[00:22:43]  We will find out tonight.
[00:22:45]  One of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world, 47 years of exhortation, corruption, and death will finally end.
[00:22:54]  God bless the great people of Iran.
[00:22:58]  Well, this is just absurd.
[00:23:01]  I mean, everything Trump is claiming, these are faults of the Americans, the sanctions, the people are so happy with their government.
[00:23:11]  Iran's not threatening anyone.
[00:23:13]  47 years, that's from the uprising to establish the Islamic Republic after having suffered in 1979, after having suffered from 1953 from a US UK imposed regime change, installing the Shah and his vicious Slovak police.
[00:23:32]  They never mention.
[00:23:33]  All this dates from 1953 when the U.S. struck the first blow.
[00:23:38]  Russ, your thoughts.
[00:23:39]  Well, again, the great people of Iran, I think when they saw these people on the bridges, standing outside the power plants, they almost, the optics would have been terrible.
[00:23:52]  Now, Israel would do it.
[00:23:55]  Israel would kill these people.
[00:23:57]  That's the difference.
[00:23:58]  Yeah.
[00:24:00]  I think the critical thing right now, since Israel's clearly continuing to be a rogue state, There's an opening for maybe Iran to interdict against Israel and Lebanon directly, attacking the ground forces or whatever, or attacking the bases that they're sending these aircraft in to attack Beirut.
[00:24:25]  And then that would put Trump in a very difficult position because then they could simply say, well, they're violating the ceasefire that we agreed to.
[00:24:32]  We're interdicting directly against Israel, not the UAE, not Saudi Arabia, not the American bases.
[00:24:40]  But Israel directly, and then that would just show the control that they have over Trump because he would probably throw his lot in with Israel again.
[00:24:54]  So he would be exposed.
[00:24:56]  Now, that's the chess I would play.
[00:24:58]  I think it's a great idea, Joaquin.

=== Breaking the Dark World Silence (05:17) ===

[00:25:01]  Your thoughts?
[00:25:02]  Yeah, I totally agree.
[00:25:04]  You know, Israel really needs to be stopped, even more than the U.S., they're going to go all the way.
[00:25:12]  I mean, Netanyahu is determined.
[00:25:14]  You know, it's like he is like the devil basically, and he knows he's going to do serious jail time if this war ends.
[00:25:24]  Uh, and so he's going for broke, you know, he's he's he has nothing to lose in his warped, insane mind.
[00:25:32]  Uh, and you know, he's he's yeah, he he has to be stopped just like Trump, but he, you know, he's he's even a worse threat.
[00:25:46]  And I will be right back after this break.

=== War Powers and Catastrophe (14:29) ===

[00:30:18]  Well, here's one of those reports to which Russia alluded that Iran called for human chains to protect the power plants as Trump's deadline may have made a difference.
[00:30:29]  Meanwhile.
[00:30:31]  However, I would direct your attention to the headline, Iran calls for human chains.
[00:30:39]  I don't think that's exactly the way it went down.
[00:30:41]  I think that's pretty organic.
[00:30:43]  People just gathered in their communities and headed out to the bridge or the power plant and did it on their own.
[00:30:51]  I don't think.
[00:30:59]  I agree with that.
[00:31:00]  I agree.
[00:31:01]  The way they worded that is just propaganda.
[00:31:05]  My impression is Iran did seek the participation of the public.
[00:31:09]  Perhaps Joaquin knows the answer.
[00:31:12]  Your thoughts, Joaquin?
[00:31:17]  Joaquin, can you hear us?
[00:31:20]  Frozen.
[00:31:21]  I think he is.
[00:31:23]  Full effect on Iran if the U.S. military obeys Trump's order tonight.
[00:31:30]  Yeah.
[00:31:32]  I mean, it's going to be catastrophic.
[00:31:34]  Yeah, they didn't.
[00:31:35]  They didn't.
[00:31:36]  You know, because these stories are pre ceasefire.
[00:31:41]  So, you know, this happens so fast that the stories that you have lined up for today are basically right before the ceasefire.
[00:31:48]  But the answer to this question is no.
[00:31:51]  I don't think Russia has orders.
[00:31:53]  But Russell, the point is, what would have been the consequences?
[00:31:56]  And it could still happen.
[00:31:57]  So I think it's really appropriate.
[00:32:00]  It could.
[00:32:00]  So the question is, will the, will Hicks, here's how I see it.
[00:32:06]  Will Hicks, is he going to get thrown under the bus?
[00:32:08]  That's one thing to look at.
[00:32:10]  I believe he will be, yes.
[00:32:12]  Okay.
[00:32:12]  If he is, then maybe then Trump will be forced to acquiesce to the calcitrant generals in the command.
[00:32:23]  Purges them and gets them out of there and does another purge, you know, where you see another eight or ten generals being cut loose again.
[00:32:29]  And that tells you that the really hardcore bastards are running the show, the sitcom, that they don't care about international law.
[00:32:40]  This is just to emphasize the monstrosity of the event that Trump was contemplating.
[00:32:48]  If Donald Trump made good his threat to destroy every power plant in Iran, what would be the immediate dangers for the people in terms of?
[00:32:56]  Poverty, hunger, availability, medical assistance via hospital, electricity, supplies, eventual disease, all other negative effects stemming from the Trump initiated attacks, according to Gemini AI.
[00:33:11]  The scenario you're asking about, the total destruction of a nation's power grid, represents what humanitarian experts all would call a cascading failure.
[00:33:22]  In a modern society like Iran's, electricity is not just a convenience, it is the master key that unlocks every other vital service.
[00:33:32]  If such a threat were realized, the immediate long-term dangers to the civilian population would be catastrophic.
[00:33:40]  Here's a breakdown of likely effects based on current humanitarian data.
[00:33:44]  Historical precedent of infrastructure warfare.
[00:33:47]  And I'll just mention the categories health care, the immediate crisis, water and sanitation, silent killers, food security and hunger, poverty and economic total collapse, displacement and social stability.
[00:34:03]  It would be truly catastrophic.
[00:34:07]  But what Trump isn't contemplating is Iran could do this to us, to the United States.
[00:34:15]  All over the Middle East, Israel, all the Gulf states, just Saudi Arabia and everybody, maybe even into Europe.
[00:34:22]  Who knows exactly?
[00:34:25]  You're talking about totally barbaric behavior by the president of the United States.
[00:34:31]  Joaquin, your thoughts.
[00:34:33]  Yeah, somebody needs to put them down.
[00:34:35]  Yeah, an EMP in America would have the same exact effect of what they're planning for Iran.
[00:34:43]  So, yeah, I mean, I'm really disappointed that there's not enough resistance.
[00:34:50]  You know, there's just people like us that are upset, but.
[00:34:53]  Where's the action?
[00:34:55]  The UN is good for nothing.
[00:34:56]  They're totally impotent.
[00:34:59]  And, you know, Russia, China, I know they're watching it closely, but I don't know.
[00:35:06]  I think they need to step up a little bit, too.
[00:35:10]  You know, this could be the end of the world for all of us, you know?
[00:35:15]  Yeah.
[00:35:15]  You know, the story is that China kind of pressured Iran into accepting this phony ceasefire.
[00:35:22]  So that's the story.
[00:35:27]  I also have a story that both China and Pakistan have informed Israel formally that if they nuke Iran, China and Pakistan will nuke Israel.
[00:35:38]  I like that.
[00:35:42]  Joaquin, if you're still with us, I think you've frozen again.
[00:35:45]  Wow.
[00:35:47]  You can already get two words out without being frozen again, Ross.
[00:35:51]  Unbelievable.
[00:35:56]  The two, here's some response happening.
[00:36:02]  Oh, I overlooked this.
[00:36:05]  I thought this was already fateful.
[00:36:08]  This was also from Hal Turner that Iran had given us strike orders in anticipation of this attempt.
[00:36:16]  To annihilate Iran.
[00:36:20]  IRGC Missile Command, we announced the end of all targeting restrictions.
[00:36:25]  We will strike infrastructure in a manner that will deprive the United States and regional countries of oil and gas resources for years to come.
[00:36:34]  Orders have been transmitted to local missile bases and operation will begin immediately.
[00:36:40]  When I saw this, Russ, my inference was it's all over because whether Trump strikes Iran or not, This means that the Gulf oil is going to be deprived for years and years to come.
[00:36:54]  It's very delicate because Qatar, Oman, and what's the other one?
[00:37:03]  Beiran are cutting deals with Iran.
[00:37:06]  I think they're making arrangements with Iran.
[00:37:10]  I mean, the U.S. military has cleared out of these countries.
[00:37:15]  The problem, child, is UAE and Saudi Arabia, which is kind of trying to.
[00:37:23]  Balance the two.
[00:37:24]  And in a lot of ways, Saudi Arabia is a major player.
[00:37:27]  So Iran doesn't really want to jump the gun on them.
[00:37:30]  I think they're kind of down on the list.
[00:37:32]  I mean, they're not afraid to hit U.S. bases in Saudi Arabia like they did the, you know, what was it last weekend with the tarmac incident?
[00:37:42]  You know, blowing up the AWAC on the tarmac.
[00:37:45]  So I don't know.
[00:37:47]  I think that the main response has got to be and, you know, where are the American bases?
[00:37:52]  They're gone.
[00:37:53]  So that leaves you one target left in the whole Middle East to retaliate against and starts with an eye.
[00:38:01]  Yeah, and obliterate them.
[00:38:04]  I mean, I think Iran is totally justified.
[00:38:08]  And as I think, just pour it all on Israel, just everything.
[00:38:13]  You know, spare these other countries where they have understandings and they've made deals.
[00:38:19]  You know, they're going to have to pour it on the UAE.
[00:38:21]  The UAE is kind of treacherous.
[00:38:25]  So they need to make an example out of them.
[00:38:30]  It's not really necessary for them to just blow up the entire energy structure.
[00:38:35]  But what about the electrical grid of Israel, for example?
[00:38:40]  Yeah.
[00:38:41]  That would be major.
[00:38:44]  It would.
[00:38:45]  That's a great point, Russ.
[00:38:47]  And it would be easily accomplished, I think, though EMP is the best way to do it.
[00:38:53]  And if Iran does not have nukes, they might not have the capability.
[00:38:59]  They've got that.
[00:39:00]  Okay, we saw a clip of the Iranian missile.
[00:39:04]  Nicking that coastal power plant in Israel, you know, sort of warning, a warning shot.
[00:39:11]  Right.
[00:39:12]  So they could take that out easily.
[00:39:15]  That's an easy target.
[00:39:16]  They've got all kinds of layup, easy targets in their power plants.
[00:39:19]  They might not even have to take out 100% of them.
[00:39:23]  So they've got more targets in Israel.
[00:39:26]  So Israel's just asking for it.
[00:39:28]  And I don't understand.
[00:39:30]  I guess the Masonic guys are in control of the country.
[00:39:33]  They don't care what happens to their people and what happens to their infrastructure.
[00:39:38]  You know, they're into some kind of weird end times total war.
[00:39:43]  And since they control Trump, they can get it.
[00:39:46]  They can commit suicide.
[00:39:49]  Yeah, sometimes it looks like that's exactly what they want.
[00:39:53]  Exactly what they want.
[00:39:55]  Here we have some members of Congress are speaking out.
[00:40:00]  This maniac should be removed.
[00:40:02]  Talab tells Trump cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.
[00:40:06]  Totally appropriate.
[00:40:08]  After bombing a school and massacring young girls, The war criminal in the White House is threatening genocide, said Representative Tashida Talab of Michigan.
[00:40:19]  Yes, Representative Rashida Talab, on Tuesday, your president on the Cabinet to immediately invoke the 20th Amendment and remove him from office following his genocidal threat to wipe out the whole civilization of Iran.
[00:40:33]  I could not agree more.
[00:40:37]  After bombing, after bombing a school in Massacring young girls, a war criminal in the White House is threatening genocide.
[00:40:46]  Taleb, Democrat of Michigan, wrote on social media, It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment.
[00:40:52]  This maniac should be removed from office.
[00:40:56]  Some of Taleb's colleagues echoed her demand.
[00:40:59]  Representative Mark Pokhan of Democrat of Wisconsin, this guy is my representative, wrote that Trump is too unhinged, dangerous, and deranged to have the nuclear codes.
[00:41:10]  25th Amendment right now, Pokhan added.
[00:41:13]  Now, I'd largely disagree with this guy, but here he's spot on 100%.
[00:41:20]  Representative Shia Tandar of Michigan said in response to Trump's openly genocidal truth social post-Trump, just threatened the slaughter of 100 million people, actually 92.
[00:41:31]  It's clear he's unfit to be president.
[00:41:34]  The 25th Amendment must be invoked, wrote Tandar.
[00:41:38]  If Ants, Rubio, and the others continue to be spineless cowards, Congress must do everything possible to stop Trump and this war.
[00:41:47]  Representative Roe Kahana, Democrat of California, who led the push in the House for a war powers resolution to stop Trump's illegal assault on Iran, told Common Dreams he also thought the president should be removed.
[00:42:02]  When an American president threatens the extinction of his civilization, said Kahana, we should be looking to invoke the 25th and remove him if Congress is to have value in independence.
[00:42:14]  The problem being that Congress can't invoke the 25th, that's up to the vice president.
[00:42:20]  Joachim, your thoughts.
[00:42:23]  Well, I need to put pressure on old JD to get into action here because, you know, who knows?
[00:42:33]  I mean, we don't know where this is going.
[00:42:38]  We know it's not going to suddenly solve itself.
[00:42:41]  You know, Trump is not going to suddenly, you know, see the light and realize he's been wrong.
[00:42:47]  You know, he's too far gone for that.
[00:42:49]  So it's like an intervention has to be done to him directly by some force.
[00:42:57]  Uh, I think you know, I'm really disappointed all the way around between countries as well as the UN and as well as our own government.
[00:43:08]  You know, they're all sold out, like you know, controlled by Israel, I guess.
[00:43:13]  Russ, well, I mean, they can't even get the war out the war powers thing passed, so how are they going to do the 25th amendment?
[00:43:21]  Yeah, I'm so insulted by the Congress not even being willing, they're my.
[00:43:28]  On Ron Johnson, whom I've supported so strongly in the past, he didn't even vote for the War Powers Act.
[00:43:34]  I sent him a piece of my mind over that.
[00:43:36]  Outrageous.
[00:43:38]  Meanwhile, here's Hezbollah's take on the ceasefire and what we don't know about.
[00:43:48]  That gives them all their weapons and all their protection.
[00:43:52]  And they have been bombing Lebanon nonstop.
[00:43:57]  I think more than 30 attacks have happened since the ceasefire came into effect.
[00:44:04]  Up until now, Hezbollah is not responding to these attacks.
[00:44:10]  But on the ground, in terms of movements of Israeli soldiers attempting to advance or anything like this, that stopped.
[00:44:20]  So, what we have been seeing.
[00:44:22]  Since the ceasefire has been called, is the Zionists attacking from the air at random cars and homes and locations around Lebanon?
[00:44:34]  So it's a lash out by Netanyahu trying to score some points for his public consumption only, not points in terms of military advancement or anything like this.

=== Fragile Ceasefire in Boston (13:48) ===

[00:44:48]  But again, we don't know where this is going to go.
[00:44:52]  The whole ceasefire that is now.
[00:44:54]  Been declared for two weeks is really very fragile, especially with the imperial capital weakening.
[00:45:05]  You know, our viewers, if some of them may remember history lessons, looking at how the Roman Empire, for instance, collapsed, and how once the core of an empire starts weakening, what happens in the crucial important provinces.
[00:45:28]  And in this situation, we can remember how the empire was split in two with the Eastern Empire and the Western Roman Empire.
[00:45:38]  And we have the words of Netanyahu over the last few weeks talking about a Jewish empire in Western Asia.
[00:45:48]  The collapse of American hegemony in this region may give the delusions to Netanyahu to be able to create an Eastern.
[00:46:01]  Empire, Eastern Roman Empire, stationed around Tel Aviv.
[00:46:07]  And as we saw over the last few hours, with the Emiratis and the Saudis also refusing the ceasefire, firing drones and missiles on Iranian oil infrastructure in the islands of the Persian Gulf.
[00:46:25]  And we saw Iran responding, by the way, to those attacks.
[00:46:29]  So this shows us that, you know, The absence of the United States from this war, even if this ceasefire holds between the United States and Iran, these local provinces, former important provinces, may see themselves as having to fight this by themselves.
[00:46:48]  And of course, it's suicidal.
[00:46:49]  And Iran, in its last wave before the ceasefire came into effect, its 100th wave, hit targets of Saudi.
[00:47:02]  Uh, oil infrastructure all the way in the Hejaz and on the Red Sea, and I think this is why the United States rushed immediately to accept a ceasefire.
[00:47:12]  Ah, what you mentioned the attack on Syria Island by it was by the Iranian state media, they said it was that that is pretty damn telling, in my opinion.
[00:47:25]  Russia, your thoughts?
[00:47:28]  Well, again, you can't figure that out ahead of time, Donald.
[00:47:32]  Yeah, That's going to be the response.
[00:47:36]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:47:39]  Like him, like him, like him.
[00:47:43]  He's like a bludgeon that just keeps hitting the wall for more aggression, more aggression.
[00:47:50]  He is so deranged.
[00:47:55]  He has no reason.
[00:47:57]  There's no reasoning ability in this guy.
[00:48:00]  He's a total psychopath that's hell bent.
[00:48:03]  And Netanyahu's very similar.
[00:48:06]  He's got mental faculties more in place, obviously, and he's shrewder like that.
[00:48:12]  But these guys.
[00:48:15]  They know that they are going to jail if they don't have war.
[00:48:19]  So they got nothing to lose.
[00:48:20]  That's the way they're looking at it.
[00:48:22]  And, you know, sadly, they are puppets to the city of London power structure on this earth.
[00:48:29]  And, you know, they've given the green light for World War III.
[00:48:33]  So they're not stopping.
[00:48:35]  Yes.
[00:48:36]  Yeah.
[00:48:36]  I would say that probably the ceasefire is over after the market closes on Friday.
[00:48:42]  That seems to be when they kind of pull things like that.
[00:48:47]  So they got this pump where, you know, Barron and his buddies are doing the pump and making some money on the oil market.
[00:48:58]  And then over the weekend, it all falls apart.
[00:49:00]  And then we're met with a, you know, a Black Monday type situation.
[00:49:04]  So it's just this constant tension.
[00:49:07]  The president has scheduled the destruction of Iran's power grid three times.
[00:49:11]  Here's a gal who's telling us why Trump keeps rescheduling, and she's very charming.
[00:49:16]  So we don't want to miss anything.
[00:49:18]  The president has scheduled the destruction of Iran's power grid three times and moved it three times.
[00:49:24]  Tonight was supposed to be the night.
[00:49:26]  In psychology, we call this intermittent reinforcement, the same mechanism behind slot machines, abusive relationships and hostage negotiations.
[00:49:36]  You don't deliver the hit on schedule, you threaten it, pull it back, threaten again, pull back, because the nervous system is more controlled by unpredictable pain than by pain itself.
[00:49:47]  An entire nation is living in fight or flight because They don't know what night their hospitals will lose electricity.
[00:49:54]  It's psychological torture with a content calendar.
[00:49:57]  Sociologist Stanley Cohen studied how entire countries watch atrocities happen and do nothing.
[00:50:04]  He found three types of denial.
[00:50:06]  The first is literal.
[00:50:08]  It's not happening.
[00:50:09]  Those are the people sealed inside a media bubble where power plant day sounds like a strategy, not a war crime.
[00:50:16]  They're captured.
[00:50:18]  The second is interpretive.
[00:50:19]  It's happening, but it's not what you think.
[00:50:22]  It's he's negotiating or it's complicated or you don't understand foreign policy.
[00:50:29]  Same facts, different story.
[00:50:31]  The third is implicatory denial.
[00:50:34]  It's happening.
[00:50:35]  It's wrong.
[00:50:37]  But it's not my problem.
[00:50:39]  Those people see exactly what you see.
[00:50:41]  They just decided that their comfort costs less than someone else's life.
[00:50:46]  And then there's the rest of us.
[00:50:47]  The ones who see it, feel it, can't sleep because of it, and wonder every single day why knowing the truth isn't enough to make it stop.
[00:50:56]  You're the only reason that atrocities get documented instead of erased.
[00:51:00]  A man who keeps rescheduling when he'll turn the lights off for 88 million people is enjoying the countdown.
[00:51:07]  If this reached you, make it count.
[00:51:09]  The president has scheduled the destruction of Iran's power grid.
[00:51:13]  I like it.
[00:51:14]  I think he's a good matching, yes.
[00:51:17]  But you know, again, the Israelis are living under the same conditions.
[00:51:21]  It's not just the Iranians.
[00:51:24]  That's the irony of all this, that they're putting their own people through this government.
[00:51:31]  Yeah, they're living with PTSD now, too.
[00:51:34]  You know, that lifestyle of living underground and always worried about the next bomb coming in.
[00:51:43]  Yeah, I mean, it's terror.
[00:51:47]  Here we have that report.
[00:51:48]  We'll get back to it, but we want to go to Windrow Watch too.
[00:51:59]  Saying China and Pakistan have officially warned Israel they will nuke Israel if Israel nukes Iran.
[00:52:11]  Here.
[00:52:14]  So he said he was against the wars.
[00:52:16]  You're absolutely right about that, especially against Middle Eastern wars.
[00:52:19]  And he said he was worried that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were going to take us into World War III.
[00:52:24]  Okay.
[00:52:24]  And now what do we have?
[00:52:25]  Ben Gavir threatening nukes.
[00:52:27]  And by the way, if you haven't heard, China and Pakistan have said that if Israel nukes Iran, they will nuke Israel.
[00:52:35]  So here we are on the precipice of a nuclear holocaust because this baboon is in office and he's like, oh, Bibi, how can I make you happy?
[00:52:44]  Can you please give me more money?
[00:52:45]  Am I going to be a hero, Bibi?
[00:52:47]  I can't stand this guy.
[00:52:50]  And doing the exact opposite of what he promised.
[00:52:53]  Okay.
[00:52:53]  The exact opposite.
[00:52:54]  And one.
[00:52:54]  More things that Glenn made, a point that Glenn made that is really important.
[00:52:57]  So, Russia goes and destroys their army and their treasure in Ukraine.
[00:53:01]  Now, we're going to destroy our treasure.
[00:53:04]  We spent 300 million on the rescue alone.
[00:53:06]  It was a brilliant operation, but 300 million, we're spending one to two billion a day.
[00:53:11]  So, both Russia and the U.S. are destroying themselves in these totally needless wars, and China is laughing their ass off.
[00:53:19]  How did they get this lucky that we're wasting our treasure and our military on wars for other countries?
[00:53:26]  It's insanity.
[00:53:27]  Let's go compete with China and India economically.
[00:53:30]  Stop this military madness.
[00:53:32]  Get someone who's an American and who's a decent person back in charge of America.
[00:53:38]  Yeah.
[00:53:39]  What a great idea.
[00:53:40]  What a great idea.
[00:53:43]  I'm fascinated.
[00:53:45]  Someone who's decent, someone who's competent in charge of America.
[00:53:49]  What a revolutionary thought.
[00:53:51]  So, when does that happen?
[00:53:52]  Like 2036?
[00:53:53]  Yeah.
[00:53:54]  Yeah, I know.
[00:53:56]  When does that happen, right?
[00:53:57]  I mean, we got this.
[00:54:00]  Thing called elections, right?
[00:54:02]  We got this thing called the Constitution, right?
[00:54:05]  Joaquin, your thoughts.
[00:54:09]  Yeah, I'm waiting for a few of the good bricks to step up.
[00:54:14]  You know, Rohanna is actually making a lot of sense, you know, definitely.
[00:54:19]  But they need a coalition that's, you know, a majority to move on this.
[00:54:25]  You know, Amendment 21.
[00:54:27]  I mean, it's so obvious this guy's off his rocker and is danger to the whole world.
[00:54:34]  25, yeah.
[00:54:37]  25th Amendment.
[00:54:37]  Yes.
[00:54:39]  Yeah.
[00:54:40]  But see, Vance has to initiate it.
[00:54:43]  And Vance is worried he's going to compromise his viability as a future candidate, which is looking increasingly null, though he did oppose, he was not enthusiastic about the war.
[00:54:53]  Russ, where does Vance stand?
[00:54:56]  And would there be enough members of the cabinet who would be willing to support it?
[00:54:59]  I don't think there would.
[00:55:00]  I mean, just look what happened to Joe Kant just for his coming clean on stuff.
[00:55:05]  You know, they just unload on him.
[00:55:08]  That'd be the end of his political career.
[00:55:09]  So he would have to make a decision.
[00:55:11]  Of conscience to sacrifice himself for the good of the country to make a point, and it still might not even work, you know, because you got so many whispers, you got so many Zionist whispers in the network there, and the control, you know, the control of everything, you know, maybe not the military.
[00:55:31]  We're seeing signs that maybe the military has some scruples, but they just get rid of these people.
[00:55:38]  Yeah, yeah, I know.
[00:55:41]  I think the whole cabinet is here at Chip and the Donald Trump.
[00:55:46]  Very simple.
[00:55:52]  I think it's going to be dangerous to go to the computer.
[00:55:57]  What's that, Carl?

[00:56:15]  We'll be right back after this message.
[00:56:25]  Was it a conspiracy?
[00:56:27]  Did you know that the police in Boston were broadcasting, this is a drill, this is a drill, on bull hordes during the marathon?
[00:56:35]  That the Boston Globe was tweeting that a demonstration bomb would be set off during the marathon for the benefit of bomb squad activities?
[00:56:43]  And that one would be set off in one minute in front of the library, which happened as the Globe had announced.
[00:56:51]  Peering through the smoke, you could see bodies with missing arms and legs.
[00:56:56]  But there was no blood.
[00:56:58]  The blood only showed up later and came out of a tube.
[00:57:02]  They used amputee actors and a studio quality smoke machine.

=== Tackling Foreign Minister Propaganda (15:23) ===

[01:00:56]  Are on Winter Watch, Russ's site where he does such a superb job.
[01:01:03]  Let's lead off with the Roost phase, the first article there.
[01:01:07]  Yeah.
[01:01:08]  Okay.
[01:01:09]  The Roost phase of Operation FBF up begins.
[01:01:13]  Okay.
[01:01:14]  First, we have the meme.
[01:01:16]  Take a look at that.
[01:01:19]  Okay.
[01:01:19]  What do we got here?
[01:01:21]  It's kind of small.
[01:01:22]  Yeah.
[01:01:26]  It's Trump serving up a plate of taco to the The mole.
[01:01:29]  Oh, a plate of tacos.
[01:01:32]  Of course.
[01:01:34]  Of course.
[01:01:35]  Love it.
[01:01:35]  A plate of tacos.
[01:01:38]  The lead photo there is an example of what I was talking about.
[01:01:41]  This is the crowd around the power plant.
[01:01:43]  Yeah.
[01:01:45]  I'm not sure which power plant that is, but it's a very big crowd.
[01:01:49]  That's kind of why I think they backed down in part.
[01:01:54]  So it kind of put, like I say, it takes Big Brain's fantasy dream and puts it on the back burner for now.
[01:02:03]  Yeah, the.
[01:02:06]  So that story, we already covered that.
[01:02:08]  And then.
[01:02:09]  Yeah, we kind of covered that.
[01:02:14]  Hey, I just got a.
[01:02:15]  Somebody just sent me a grenade like that one right there.
[01:02:20]  Where the hell is it?
[01:02:23]  I'll find it.
[01:02:24]  I got it here somewhere.
[01:02:26]  Crazy.
[01:02:27]  Live grenade?
[01:02:31]  It's hollowed out.
[01:02:32]  But it's the same type.
[01:02:34]  It's hollowed out.
[01:02:35]  See, it's got the hole in the bottom because it charges, taking up, but it's the same type.
[01:02:40]  I was previously sent to World War II.
[01:02:44]  Paperweight, a good paperweight.
[01:02:47]  So, yeah, paperweights are paid.
[01:02:50]  Unbelievable.
[01:02:51]  So, there he's saying, hey, sir, catch.
[01:02:54]  Yeah, fragging officers.
[01:02:58]  That's probably what a ground combat would look like in Iran, a lot of this type of stuff.
[01:03:06]  I don't think the American military is willing to go into Iran, but then we had that colossal F up with the attempt to snatch the uranium and all those planes that were destroyed.
[01:03:16]  What a calamity.
[01:03:17]  I mean, that was a small scale disaster.
[01:03:21]  So here we kind of covered this, but it's just this group of, you know, it's very organic, I believe.
[01:03:31]  Oh, they're actually on the bridge with their flag.
[01:03:34]  Right.
[01:03:35]  Actually on the bridge.
[01:03:38]  Taking a stand, you know.
[01:03:40]  Yeah, well, I am in awe of the Iranian people.
[01:03:45]  They are so magnificent.
[01:03:49]  I just, I'm stuck.
[01:03:52]  God.
[01:03:54]  Good stuff, Russ.
[01:03:55]  What else have we got here?
[01:03:56]  Okay, so there we go.
[01:03:57]  We got Mark Levine.
[01:03:58]  They're the role models of the world now, really.
[01:04:01]  Say that again, Russ.
[01:04:02]  I mean, Joaquin.
[01:04:04]  They are the role models for the world.
[01:04:06]  Role model for the world.
[01:04:08]  I agree.
[01:04:09]  Exemplary.
[01:04:11]  What I would have to think that the great majority of the world is rooting for them.
[01:04:15]  They're on their side.
[01:04:17]  Absolutely.
[01:04:18]  Here's Mark Levine emotionally.
[01:04:20]  spiraling at the news of a ceasefire.
[01:04:22]  Oh, he's been out of shape.
[01:04:25]  What are we going to just leave them there?
[01:04:27]  There's nothing that we can do, and we're going to wash our hands over that?
[01:04:31]  That to me is morally very difficult, very difficult to accept.
[01:04:36]  And then what about the proxies, Hezbollah?
[01:04:39]  I was reading these statements.
[01:04:42]  Hezbollah has killed more Americans than Iran directly.
[01:04:46]  Hezbollah is Iran.
[01:04:48]  Hezbollah is firing missiles into Israel by the hundreds still, and here we have a ceasefire.
[01:04:56]  That they've already broken, and so yes, the argument will be well, they don't have control of this and control of that.
[01:05:01]  Well, if they don't have control of this and control of that, how do we even enter into an agreement?
[01:05:06]  There's a lot of issues, that's true, that's true.
[01:05:08]  So, that's true, but you got to have certain rules of war, that's that's the key thing.
[01:05:13]  You can't be bombing people in the stone ages, you can have more conventional warfare if that's how you want to continue.
[01:05:21]  I do agree.
[01:05:22]  The myth of a consensual ceasefire, USI consent, IranI consent, but who is it who doesn't hear?
[01:05:31]  This is obviously representing Israel, right?
[01:05:35]  Yeah, Mark Levine.
[01:05:37]  Oh, that is Mark right there.
[01:05:38]  Yeah, the whispers.
[01:05:40]  So this is kind of the whispers.
[01:05:41]  We could kind of skip over the 10 points.
[01:05:45]  People can see that.
[01:05:45]  That's, you know, obviously the United States hasn't agreed to that.
[01:05:50]  Those are just negotiating points.
[01:05:52]  So let's just keep going.
[01:05:53]  I'm calling it an elaborate taco.
[01:05:57]  Now, here we have Abbas Aragachi, my man.
[01:06:00]  Let's take a look at him.
[01:06:02]  This guy's really a stud.
[01:06:04]  He's very good.
[01:06:05]  The foreign minister.
[01:06:27]  When he was asked about U.S. ground invasion, he said, bring him on.
[01:06:35]  Bring him on.
[01:06:36]  Yes, come closer.
[01:06:40]  I think he's right up there with Sergei Lavrov.
[01:06:44]  Yeah, he's good.
[01:06:45]  He's very good.
[01:06:46]  Breaking.
[01:06:47]  Iran's foreign minister, Aguchi, just sent a chilling warning to Netanyahu.
[01:06:52]  Iran has warned Israel to stop the genocide in Lebanon.
[01:06:58]  Will resume again, leading to the end of the ceasefire, not just Lebanon.
[01:07:03]  The genocide in Gaza must help.
[01:07:06]  It must also stop.
[01:07:08]  Yeah, so this is shortly before our show.
[01:07:12]  That's very good that you got it in here.
[01:07:15]  Then, right below there, let's take a look at the ordinance that they're using in Beirut.
[01:07:22]  Heavy duty.
[01:07:25]  This is one of the Lego.
[01:07:27]  They're very good.
[01:07:28]  They're well done.
[01:07:31]  This is actually a very good explanation of what's going on.
[01:07:34]  This is really excellent.
[01:07:36]  So, yeah, go ahead and play that.
[01:07:37]  Okay.
[01:07:44]  Yeah, every time he talks tough.
[01:07:49]  It's Taco Tuesday.
[01:07:52]  Taco Tuesday, Taco Tuesday.
[01:07:54]  Big Thursday, Monday, then these chickens out Tuesday.
[01:07:57]  Power plant day, bridge day, all that tough talk.
[01:08:00]  Now he's folding again, what a joke.
[01:08:02]  He screams, regime change, drops bombs like his boat.
[01:08:04]  Then runs to the mic and says, maybe we fold.
[01:08:07]  One day's winning, next day's scared.
[01:08:10]  Every Tuesday's backpedaling hard.
[01:08:13]  We were threatening the straits so we'd live in hell.
[01:08:15]  Now you're begging for ceasefire.
[01:08:17]  We can tell 17 bitches hit your military in shame.
[01:08:20]  But you're still out here tweeting like it's a game.
[01:08:23]  Tackle Tuesday.
[01:08:24]  Tackle Tuesday.
[01:08:25]  Big threats on Monday, then the chickens out Tuesday.
[01:08:28]  Power plant day, bridge day, all that tough talk.
[01:08:31]  Now he's folding again.
[01:08:32]  What a joke.
[01:08:35]  Sacred defense.
[01:08:37]  We still standing strong.
[01:08:40]  Tackle Tuesday again.
[01:08:42]  Yeah.
[01:08:46]  Tackle Tuesday again.
[01:08:49]  Very, very, very amusing.
[01:08:51]  And they have a lot of them, and they're good.
[01:08:54]  You know, we have Iranians taking the street to celebrate, but we got to be very cautious, very cautious.
[01:09:26]  Yeah.
[01:09:29]  Yeah, but the United States and Israel are not being requested.
[01:09:37]  Needless to add.
[01:09:38]  But I don't think the Iranians are going to allow themselves to be played.
[01:09:42]  Was there more there, Russ?
[01:09:43]  I could continue further.
[01:09:45]  It depends on what you want to do.
[01:09:46]  There's some kind of cool propaganda at the bottom.
[01:09:49]  I had some Iranian music that's really good.
[01:09:52]  Now, here, this is an interesting clip that went viral on Instagram.
[01:09:56]  Look at this one.
[01:09:56]  All eyes on Iran.
[01:10:09]  That little bit there.
[01:10:10]  That was it.
[01:10:13]  Okay.
[01:10:14]  And then some of the music that you're hearing, I have a little collection of them.
[01:10:19]  The first one is called Hadar Hadar, a wonderful song, really fantastic.
[01:10:23]  One of them, a song for Iran, Ashes Will Bloom.
[01:10:27]  And then the now famous symphony of Karameshar, great music.
[01:10:33]  And the national anthem of Iran.
[01:10:36]  So there's no secret.
[01:10:39]  Excellent, excellent.
[01:10:41]  Where my sympathies lie, love it all, love it all, Russ.
[01:10:44]  Let's go back to your stories.
[01:10:46]  Uh, more here in the top, but to the bottom.
[01:10:50]  Uh, you want to talk about this ridiculous uh rescue thing a little bit?
[01:10:56]  Sure, sure, because it clearly wasn't at all how it's been presented.
[01:11:00]  Yeah, I agree with you.
[01:11:01]  It was a f up.
[01:11:05]  You want me to read part of it?
[01:11:08]  The pilot is completely fine.
[01:11:09]  Yes, he walked 110 miles, crossed several mountains while mortally wounded.
[01:11:13]  Yes, he's back home and safe and sound and enjoying life and proud to observe.
[01:11:18]  No, you can't see him.
[01:11:19]  No, we can't share his name.
[01:11:20]  One in a million, Jerry, one in a million.
[01:11:23]  We didn't go through a lot of this before the colossal screw up.
[01:11:28]  Here we have Larry Johnson.
[01:11:30]  Look, the story we've been given is a lie on several fronts.
[01:11:39]  What that F 15 was doing up in that area, what was its mission?
[01:11:43]  I think it was involved in preparation for a ground attack on the Natanz nuclear reactor.
[01:11:53]  And when the plane went down, the number of assets that one of the pilots was picked up immediately, but the other one, they couldn't find him.
[01:12:06]  There's now information online, which I've been assured is accurate, that this pilot was, he apparently hit the ground.
[01:12:16]  Five miles north and west of the point where he was rescued.
[01:12:23]  And he basically did escape and evasion to get to the top of that mountain to be X Field.
[01:12:30]  Now, here's where it really gets strange.
[01:12:35]  The explanations don't make sense.
[01:12:41]  At that site, there were two C 130 aircraft.
[01:12:46]  Those are fixed wing aircraft with four propellers.
[01:12:49]  The, the, the Joint Special Operations Command, JSOC, they have a I guess that's all we had there.
[01:13:00]  Yeah.
[01:13:01]  Where it gets, the story gets really mucked up.
[01:13:06]  Once again, Legos, which I got on this page, just cuts right to the quick and explains this thing better than anybody.
[01:13:13]  Oh, it's not there.
[01:13:14]  Damn it.
[01:13:15]  Just jumping around on me.
[01:13:16]  Okay.
[01:13:18]  Is it here?
[01:13:20]  Nah, it's okay.
[01:13:21]  We can keep going on.
[01:13:22]  Next story.
[01:13:26]  Okay.
[01:13:27]  Should I?
[01:13:27]  Hold it in the bottom.
[01:13:29]  Power.
[01:13:32]  Okay.
[01:13:33]  News around the web.
[01:13:35]  There we got Trump serving the tacos to the Mullahs.
[01:13:39]  I love it.
[01:13:41]  Yeah.
[01:13:42]  Yeah.
[01:13:43]  Qatar announces withdrawal of U.S. forces from its territory.
[01:13:46]  That's a positive.
[01:13:48]  That's a big plus right there.
[01:13:50]  I love it.
[01:13:51]  Yeah.
[01:13:51]  That's a major story.
[01:13:55]  You don't hear this story anywhere.
[01:13:57]  Yeah.
[01:13:58]  First country to officially withdraw U.S. troops.
[01:14:02]  Doha, Qatar's decision to withdraw U.S. troops made to the first Gulf country to do so.
[01:14:08]  Not the last.
[01:14:09]  Qatar has officially announced the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the Gulf, becoming the first Gulf state to do so.
[01:14:15]  Qatar's foreign minister said his country had paid a heavy price.
[01:14:25]  For hosting foreign troops.
[01:14:28]  The foreign minister reiterated that determination while describing Qatar's relation with Iran as brotherhood, reaffirming his determination that Qatari territory would never again be used to undermine those relations.
[01:14:42]  According to Qatar's foreign minister, the U.S. had broken promises made to Qatar and consistently prioritized Israel's interests.
[01:14:49]  As a result, Qatar has to bear the brunt of the losses, the very big one.
[01:14:56]  He added, If the United States really cares about Qatar's interests, they will respect our decision not to attack other countries.
[01:15:05]  But the reality is that they are only using Qatari territory for Israeli interests.
[01:15:12]  The foreign minister said he hoped other Gulf countries would follow suit.
[01:15:16]  They concluded their conversation by emphasizing when the world understands its Zionist tactics, only then will a path to peace open.
[01:15:26]  In this overall picture, Iran emerges as a winner, but also stressed that Qatari territory would not be used against Iran.
[01:15:35]  This discussion is not just a military withdrawal, but the beginning of a new era.
[01:15:40]  If other Gulf states also follow Qatar's lead, as they will, this would mark the end of Israel's line of defense and American domination.
[01:15:50]  I agree with that 100%.
[01:15:52]  Russ, your thought.
[01:15:54]  Go ahead, Joaquin.
[01:15:56]  Well, good that this happened because, you know, America had its biggest military base in Qatar.
[01:16:06]  So, yeah, I think they're going to set the trend for a lot of the other Gulf states too.
[01:16:17]  Bahrain's going to follow.

=== Qatar Leads Gulf State Shift (09:19) ===

[01:16:20]  I think the only, you know, holdouts probably will be the Emirates, you know.
[01:16:27]  I think they're probably.
[01:16:29]  Sucked in too much with the West and America.
[01:16:32]  But I think the rest of the Gulf states, Kuwait, yeah, I believe that they're all going to go with Iran because they know the jig's up.
[01:16:41]  America's not going to be there for them.
[01:16:43]  They haven't, and they've shown it.
[01:16:45]  So don't stay with America.
[01:16:47]  Kick America out and make alliances with Iran.
[01:16:51]  You know, have a larger resistance.
[01:16:54]  If all the Arab nations in the Middle East united behind Iran, hey, we solve a lot of problems.
[01:17:02]  Yes, yes, I couldn't agree more.
[01:17:06]  Net popularity of Hags at the lobby, he's going to be thrown under the bus, so I don't have the least doubt about it.
[01:17:13]  Absolutely humiliation for Pete Hags at CNN reveals the Secretary of Defense pulling a staggering negative, negative 30 points.
[01:17:23]  He's vastly more unpopular than any war secretary in modern history.
[01:17:27]  The public utterly despises his disastrous war bonds.
[01:17:32]  These numbers, again, Just look at this.
[01:17:35]  This is not, this isn't just on a different planet.
[01:17:39]  This is not just Artemis going around the moon.
[01:17:42]  No, no.
[01:17:42]  This is in a totally different galaxy.
[01:17:45]  It's in a totally different galaxy.
[01:17:47]  Look at this.
[01:17:47]  Secretary of Defense's net popularity one month into the Gulf War, Iraq War, Iran War.
[01:17:53]  Look at this.
[01:17:54]  Pete Hague said 30 points underwater.
[01:17:58]  30 points underwater.
[01:18:00]  What?
[01:18:01]  Look at that compared to Donald Rumsfeld about a month into the Iraq War.
[01:18:05]  That's pretty shocking on Cheney and Roosevelt.
[01:18:07]  Do some quick math with me here.
[01:18:09]  Look at this.
[01:18:09]  30, 48.
[01:18:10]  What is that?
[01:18:11]  That's a nearly 80 point difference.
[01:18:15]  Nearly an 80 point difference in terms of the net popularity of these two secretaries of defense.
[01:18:20]  And yet Trump just continually brings him out.
[01:18:24]  He doesn't read the room at all.
[01:18:27]  Trump doesn't read the room at all.
[01:18:29]  He continually brings Hedgeseth out, hauls him out for assinated comments.
[01:18:35]  I'm loving this report.
[01:18:36]  Way below him.
[01:18:37]  But look at this.
[01:18:37]  Remember, Dick Cheney was the secretary of defense.
[01:18:40]  During the Gulf War.
[01:18:41]  And about a month in, his net popularity was 62 points above water.
[01:18:47]  We're talking an over 90 point difference with Pete Hegseth right now.
[01:18:51]  Dick Cheney was very popular, very, very popular.
[01:18:55]  Pete Hegseth is anything but.
[01:18:57]  They will not be throwing parades for Pete Hegseth based upon his popularity right now.
[01:19:03]  Parades, put it mildly.
[01:19:06]  Joaquin, your thoughts.
[01:19:09]  Yeah.
[01:19:11]  Hegseth's a train wreck.
[01:19:13]  That guy, you know, he's like a high school coach.
[01:19:16]  That's what he reminds me of, you know, or even a Little Lee or a pop corner kind of guy.
[01:19:26]  Yeah, he has no respect.
[01:19:28]  And the soldiers, they have no respect for this guy.
[01:19:32]  You know, the officers can't stand him.
[01:19:37]  Boy, he's firing them right and left, the competent ones who are speaking out against SACT.
[01:19:42]  Yeah.
[01:19:44]  We are winning so badly.
[01:19:47]  I love it.
[01:19:49]  Oh, my, oh, my, oh, my.
[01:19:54]  Meanwhile, indiscriminate bombing of civilians.
[01:19:57]  Zios destroy the largest synagogue in Tehran.
[01:20:01]  Yeah, they do that kind of nasty shit.
[01:20:04]  It's just terrible.
[01:20:06]  Justin, yes, in Israel, strike a Jewish synagogue in Tehran.
[01:20:10]  They destroyed the synagogue.
[01:20:13]  Iran is home to the second largest Jewish population in West Asia.
[01:20:17]  Israel wants them to feel unsafe and go back to Israel, despite being safe and protected in Iran.
[01:20:25]  Here's a story.
[01:20:42]  Wow.
[01:20:44]  Unbelievable.
[01:20:45]  Obviously, very indiscriminate bombing.
[01:20:48]  Yeah.
[01:20:49]  Well, don't you think that was purposeful, exactly deliberate?
[01:20:53]  I don't know.
[01:20:54]  I kind of think they're just so indiscriminate that they just happen to hit it.
[01:20:58]  Meanwhile, big brain Trump, that's a jail journalist who leaked rescue until he turned out to be Israeli.
[01:21:07]  Israeli journalist Amit Segal, who is close to Annette Yeh, who had leaked details about a missing second pilot in Iran, Veal's.
[01:21:15]  Confident he won't be charged right in the Department of Justice.
[01:21:20]  Love this.
[01:21:21]  Ross comments?
[01:21:24]  Yeah, there's a good one.
[01:21:26]  He's going to get the Medal of Honor.
[01:21:31]  But let's just listen to what Trump said about this, the one below that.
[01:21:34]  So here, listen to this.
[01:21:36]  You probably know we didn't talk about the first one for an hour.
[01:21:40]  Then somebody leaked something, which we'll hopefully find that leaker.
[01:21:44]  We're looking very hard to find that leaker and talked about.
[01:21:48]  There's somebody missing.
[01:21:51]  They basically said that we have one and there's somebody missing.
[01:21:55]  Well, they didn't know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information.
[01:21:59]  So, whoever it was, we think we'll be able to find it out because we're going to go to the media company that released it and we're going to say, National Security, give it up or go to jail.
[01:22:12]  And we know who, and you know who we're talking about, because some things you can't do.
[01:22:18]  Because when they did that, all of a sudden, the entire country of Iran knew that there was a pilot that was somewhere on their land that was fighting for his life.
[01:22:30]  And it also made it much more difficult for the pilots and for the people going in to search for him.
[01:22:38]  All of a sudden, they know that there's somebody out there.
[01:22:41]  They see all these planes coming in.
[01:22:43]  It became a much more difficult operation.
[01:22:46]  Because a leaker leaked that we have one, we've rescued one, but there's another one out there that we're trying to get.
[01:22:56]  So actually, the country, Iran, put out a major notice, you all saw it, offering a very big award for anybody that captures the pilot.
[01:23:08]  So in addition to a hostile, very talented, very good, very evil military, we had millions of people trying to get an award.
[01:23:20]  When you add that to it, but we have to find that leaker because that's a sick person.
[01:23:25]  Probably didn't realize the extent of how bad it was.
[01:23:28]  I can't imagine that the person did, but we're going to find out.
[01:23:31]  It's national security.
[01:23:33]  And the person that did the story will go to jail if he doesn't say.
[01:23:39]  And that doesn't last long.
[01:23:40]  And I think everybody would understand the point.
[01:23:42]  The only way not is since it's been revealed to be this.
[01:23:46]  They put the hundreds of people that went in.
[01:23:48]  Since it's been revealed to be this friggin' Israeli crickets.
[01:23:52]  Yeah.
[01:23:52]  I know it's always going to give him a congressional award.
[01:23:58]  No doubt.
[01:24:01]  Not all of them, but somehow always one of them.
[01:24:06]  Big brain Trump.
[01:24:08]  You've made masterful use of that concept, Russ.
[01:24:12]  I love it.
[01:24:13]  Meanwhile, Zog terror bombing update Israel plans to escalate to terror attacks on Iran.
[01:24:19]  Two U.S. transport plane malfunctioned, destroyed during the pilot rescue.
[01:24:23]  Peek inside Iran's granite mount missile production and storage fortresses.
[01:24:28]  There are many of these underground.
[01:24:31]  Yeah, it's kind of an interesting clip.
[01:24:33]  Let's take a look at that.
[01:24:34]  Okay.
[01:24:38]  Oh, oh, oh.

=== Information Never Sleeps Tonight (02:39) ===

[01:25:39]  We'll be right back with the rest of the group on Game and Globe Games.
[01:25:44]  Bye.
[01:26:16]  We'll be right back after this message.
[01:27:00]  Information never sleeps.
[01:27:04]  Never sleeps.

=== Intercepting Genocide Press Reports (16:00) ===

[01:28:19]  FreedomSleeps.com.
[01:28:21]  The People Station.
[01:28:29]  Even the government admits that 9-11 was a conspiracy.
[01:28:34]  But did you know that it was an inside job?
[01:28:36]  That Osama had nothing to do with it?
[01:28:39]  That the Twin Towers were blown apart by a sophisticated arrangement of mini or micro nukes?
[01:28:44]  That Building 7 collapsed seven hours later because of explosives planted in the building?
[01:28:49]  Barry Jennings was there.
[01:28:51]  He heard them go off and felt himself stepping over dead people.
[01:28:54]  The U.S. Geological Survey conducted studies of dust gathered from 35 locations in lower Manhattan and found elements that would not have been there had this not been possible.
[01:29:03]  been a nuclear event.
[01:29:05]  Ironically, that means the government's own evidence contradicts the government's official position.
[01:29:11]  9-11 was brought to us compliments of the CIA, the neocons of the Department of Defense, and the Mossad.
[01:29:17]  Don't let yourself be played.
[01:29:20]  Read American Nuked on 9-11, available at moonrockbooks.com.

[01:29:28]  The opinions expressed on this radio station, its programs, and its website by the hosts, guests, and call-in listeners or chatters are solely the opinions of the original source who expressed them.
[01:29:39]  They do not necessarily represent the opinions of Revolution Radio and FreedomSlips.com, its staff or affiliates.
[01:29:45]  You're listening to Revolution Radio, FreedomSlips.com, 100% listener-supported radio, and now we return you to your host.
[01:30:05]  I'm very impressed with the Israeli production lines, the thorough professionalism, their high level of competence.
[01:30:14]  Joaquin, wouldn't you agree Israel is just setting a standard for the world?
[01:30:21]  They're the worst country.
[01:30:25]  I don't know that there's another country that's ever done worse.
[01:30:29]  And the United States is right there with them.
[01:30:31]  So they need to be held accountable.
[01:30:34]  Yeah, I was talking about the.
[01:30:36]  I just admire.
[01:30:37]  I don't want to see more violence.
[01:30:39]  And more war escalation.
[01:30:41]  I mean, we need a break from all this.
[01:30:46]  Yeah, I was praising the high quality of Iranian technical and scientific competence in fighting this war.
[01:30:53]  I'm very impressed, very impressed.
[01:30:56]  But you're, of course, completely right about the U.S. and Israel setting the lowest bar history has ever seen for perfidy and criminal conduct on a massive scale.
[01:31:09]  The world has never seen anything like this.
[01:31:12]  Hitler didn't commit crimes this egregious, unreal.
[01:31:17]  Ross.
[01:31:18]  I think there are a couple of stories that I think are being overlooked by the mainstream media there that I have.
[01:31:23]  One of them is the footage of 12 interceptors missing a hypersonic over Israel.
[01:31:29]  There's footage of it.
[01:31:30]  This is amazing.
[01:31:31]  Okay.
[01:31:36]  And of course, those interceptors are very expensive.
[01:31:41]  Oh my gosh!
[01:32:03]  Oh my God.
[01:32:04]  Wow, this is a powerful hit that got through.
[01:32:13]  The question is do you notice what says the best velocity?
[01:32:18]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:32:19]  There's a fast one moving in.
[01:32:21]  Interceptors.
[01:32:22]  That's crazy.
[01:32:24]  Interceptors are slow.
[01:32:25]  Interceptors are slow.
[01:32:27]  I like it.
[01:32:28]  And then, so basically, the story is that almost 25% of Iran's missiles are striking.
[01:32:36]  That's pretty high.
[01:32:37]  And at the beginning of the war, it was 3%.
[01:32:40]  So it's just skyrocketing.
[01:32:42]  I mean, that's probably one of the reasons they.
[01:32:45]  I think that one of the reasons that Trump threatened Iran so severely is exactly because of this.
[01:32:55]  And then they tried the ceasefire ruse to take a little bit of pressure off of Israel.
[01:33:01]  But what does Israel do?
[01:33:03]  Go in and start dropping bombs in Lebanon.
[01:33:10]  Yeah.
[01:33:10]  Yeah.
[01:33:11]  They don't let up.
[01:33:15]  The other story is above that is referring to the aircraft, two above.
[01:33:21]  Yeah.
[01:33:21]  U.S. aircraft start dropping like flies.
[01:33:24]  Okay.
[01:33:25]  That's because they don't have the standoff munitions anymore.
[01:33:29]  And they have a big brain to declare total air superiority, but 24 hours later, boom, U.S. has little remaining standoff munition making flyovers of Iran in close engagement with.
[01:33:43]  Targets necessary if the ground combat scenario develops.
[01:33:47]  This will spread to slow moving Chinek helicopters, a very large percentage which will be taken down with all the troops intact.
[01:33:58]  Breaking!
[01:33:59]  Four U.S. aircraft reported either shot down or damage of Iran today one F 15, one A 10, and two Blackhawks.
[01:34:06]  This after Second War, Hengsteth and Chairman of Joint Chief Kane continued to tell America all of Iranian air defenses have been obliterated.
[01:34:18]  Self evidently, that was not the case.
[01:34:27]  I think they've lost probably 10 to 15 planes now.
[01:34:31]  Oh, I think even more.
[01:34:32]  Yeah, it's in that order.
[01:34:34]  Probably around two dozen, maybe more.
[01:34:37]  Yeah, in a minute.
[01:34:40]  We have a report of one strike on a U.S. base in Saudi Arabia killing 500 American troops.
[01:34:47]  I think that may have been the big missile they were going to launch the other day.
[01:34:52]  Wow.
[01:34:53]  Well, these hypersonics have big warheads.
[01:34:56]  They have like one ton plus.
[01:34:58]  That's why they were trying to intercept that.
[01:35:00]  So.
[01:35:01]  Desperately because they got a big warhead on them.
[01:35:05]  But can you imagine the ground?
[01:35:06]  What happens when the ground thing gets going and they start using support helicopters and Blackhawks and these Chinooks to carry troops around?
[01:35:14]  They're going to get slaughtered.
[01:35:16]  Yeah, it's going to be a disaster.
[01:35:19]  Absolutely correct.
[01:35:20]  Another story, Russ, you want to hit?
[01:35:25]  Yeah, we're back to.
[01:35:30]  I don't know.
[01:35:31]  I had one showing that hit on.
[01:35:33]  In Lebanon, I don't know where that is.
[01:35:37]  Well, we got the Pasteur Institute in Tehran being hit.
[01:35:42]  Yeah, a lot of that, you know, a lot of that's sort of hitting these high value institutions that are not military.
[01:35:51]  I mean, basically, they're part of the community, medical centers, you know, they might have some military value, but they're kind of stretching the rules of war on that.
[01:36:02]  And it's like paybacks are hell, paybacks are hell, it can come back right at you.
[01:36:09]  It's like taking out the bridges, you know, they want to claim, well, the military could use them under some circumstances, but they weren't using them.
[01:36:17]  The first bridge wasn't even officially open yet, for crying out loud.
[01:36:22]  Joaquin, your thoughts.
[01:36:25]  Well, Israel and America both are notorious now for going after civilian infrastructure, civilian residences.
[01:36:35]  Yeah, they have no scruples, no sense of.
[01:36:39]  Morality when it comes to war, they violate every rule and law.
[01:36:46]  Yep, yep, yep.
[01:36:50]  Russ, anything more you want us to pick out while we're here?
[01:36:54]  No, go ahead.
[01:36:55]  I'll send it back to you.
[01:36:57]  Okay, good stuff, good stuff.
[01:37:01]  Much appreciated.
[01:37:07]  Unless you want to listen to some good Iranian music, some of the music we've been hearing on some of those clips.
[01:37:13]  Yeah.
[01:37:14]  Might be kind of fun to listen to a little of it.
[01:37:16]  All right.
[01:37:16]  Let's come back to that.
[01:37:17]  I'm open to it for sure.
[01:37:18]  Meanwhile, show with a little patriotic.
[01:37:20]  Show with a little patriotic.
[01:37:20]  Show with a little patriotic.
[01:37:38]  bit of patriotic.
[01:37:39]  Show with a little bit pathologically lying state, isolated, shame anyone who goes there, academics, celebrities, politicians, and they've been exposed for what they are.
[01:37:50]  And Zionism's on its last leg.
[01:37:51]  It only exists by the weight of its propaganda, and that propaganda's collapsed entirely.
[01:37:56]  The world sees Israel for what it is, and it can't last for long in its current state.
[01:38:01]  You cannot expect change in a society this far gone.
[01:38:04]  It is full-throated fascist, and that's why they act the way they do, with full total impunity.
[01:38:10]  Because they have no humanity left.
[01:38:14]  This is a society so far gone with protection of a military empire with hatred in their hearts.
[01:38:22]  And we're seeing essentially the Fourth Reich today marching forward, and there's no allied forces coming to save us.
[01:38:28]  The Israeli Knesset just passed a law allowing the execution of Palestinian prisoners, but not Israelis.
[01:38:36]  This is the true face of apartheid Israel.
[01:38:39]  But this is nothing new.
[01:38:41]  I saw this firsthand when I was in Israel back in 2016.
[01:38:45]  Full throated fascism.
[01:38:46]  I know you're saying to yourself, I can't imagine it.
[01:38:49]  Well, we're saying to you, imagine it.
[01:38:51]  Imagine walking.
[01:38:55]  You can't deal with these people.
[01:38:56]  There's no need to try.
[01:38:57]  There's no need to talk to them.
[01:38:58]  There's only one way, like, I would carpet bomb them.
[01:39:01]  You would carpet bomb them?
[01:39:03]  It's the only way you could deal with it.
[01:39:04]  I didn't realize this.
[01:39:06]  I didn't realize how viscerally, grotesquely genocidal Israelis were.
[01:39:12]  How openly fascist they would be to anyone.
[01:39:16]  Jews shouldn't marry Arabs.
[01:39:17]  Shouldn't marry Arabs.
[01:39:19]  Why do you feel strongly about that?
[01:39:20]  Because Jews is a special nation that God gave it to the Jews.
[01:39:25]  We don't want the Irish to be here.
[01:39:27]  They knew that they were on camera.
[01:39:28]  That's what's so alarming to me, too.
[01:39:30]  I wasn't trying to hide.
[01:39:31]  I wasn't doing gotcha journalism.
[01:39:33]  I was going up with a camera and saying, generally, what do you think about the situation?
[01:39:39]  I think Israelis have to take over and they have to kick them away.
[01:39:48]  I was so horrified and alarmed at the genocidal rhetoric that was being espoused.
[01:39:53]  Every single person, for every generation, every walk of life, they wanted ethnic cleansing.
[01:39:58]  They said we should nuke them.
[01:40:00]  One little girl laughing.
[01:40:02]  We should kill all Arabs.
[01:40:04]  Kill all Arabs.
[01:40:05]  We need to kill the Harabis.
[01:40:11]  It shows you the impunity back then.
[01:40:14]  The arrogance to just assume this is what you guys think, too, right?
[01:40:18]  You're an American.
[01:40:19]  You agree with me.
[01:40:20]  You guys have been doing the same thing.
[01:40:22]  This is who we are.
[01:40:23]  We're proud racists.
[01:40:25]  We're proudly fascist.
[01:40:27]  I felt like I was walking into Berlin in 1932.
[01:40:31]  I really felt.
[01:40:33]  Absolutely disgusted.
[01:40:36]  I just couldn't believe what I was hearing.
[01:40:38]  Bad analogy.
[01:40:38]  Just bad analogy.
[01:40:40]  And as white as I am, are you Arab?
[01:40:43]  Are you Arab?
[01:40:44]  And I'm like, what?
[01:40:46]  I'm an American.
[01:40:47]  Oh, good.
[01:40:48]  We can talk about Arabs then.
[01:40:49]  We can talk about how much we hate Palestinians.
[01:40:52]  I saw the writing on the wall back then.
[01:40:54]  I saw that there's no hope from within Israeli society.
[01:40:59]  I went to rallies where they were calling to.
[01:41:03]  Kick all the refugees out.
[01:41:05]  You know, these were things that were told Israel's a safe haven for Holocaust survivors, for genocide survivors.
[01:41:11]  Well, why are all the African refugees put out in the middle of the Negev desert into a concentration camp?
[01:41:17]  Why don't they want any African refugees there?
[01:41:20]  They tokenize Ethiopian refugees, but then they make them take Depravera birth control because they don't want them to reproduce.
[01:41:28]  This is the nature of Israeli society.
[01:41:30]  It's an ethnostate and it's built on supremacy and hate because that's what Zionism is.
[01:41:37]  How many civilians have been killed in Gaza, from what you know?
[01:41:41]  Who gives a shit?
[01:41:43]  Okay, but don't you feel like, for example, children?
[01:41:49]  Children cry well to the Arabs.
[01:41:51]  You have to continue to expel.
[01:41:54]  You have to continue to kill to keep that artificial majority in place.
[01:41:59]  If you gave me a button to just erase Gaza, every single living being in Gaza would no longer be living tomorrow.
[01:42:08]  I would press it in a second.
[01:42:09]  I would press it right now.
[01:42:11]  Give me that button and press it right now.
[01:42:13]  There you go.
[01:42:15]  And I think most Israelis would.
[01:42:17]  During the Gaza genocide, to see people just proclaim out in the open.
[01:42:21]  The genocidal incitement.
[01:42:23]  It's an entire nation out there that is responsible.
[01:42:29]  And we have to say that the people who are in the world are in the world.
[01:42:40]  And we have to say that the people who are in the world are in the world.
[01:42:59]  It was heinous and horrifying, but finally people saw Israel for what it is.
[01:43:04]  It's all been exposed.
[01:43:06]  They're not hiding anymore.
[01:43:38]  Israel's propaganda is not working anymore because, for the first time, Palestinians have been able to just show us the unvarnished truth of the reality that they endure on a daily basis.
[01:43:48]  We see the settler terrorism, we see the people getting mowed down for doing nothing, we see the crimes every single day.
[01:43:56]  You cannot hide genocide from us.
[01:43:59]  So, the propaganda has become cartoonish.
[01:44:02]  I'm very puzzled by the constant concern which the world is showing for the Palestinian people and is actually showing for these horrible, inhuman animals.
[01:44:16]  It's inverted just everything that we know to be true.

=== Exposing Israel's Cartoonish Lies (04:21) ===

[01:44:19]  Black is white, up is down.
[01:44:21]  It's the most moral army in the world.
[01:44:23]  We're a benevolent empire spreading human rights and democracy.
[01:44:26]  Who the hell believes this anymore?
[01:44:28]  So it's become silly, it's become absurd.
[01:44:31]  The Israelis today saying that Hamas use Palestinians.
[01:44:35]  As human shields, do they?
[01:44:37]  Killing the victims, then blaming the victims for killing themselves.
[01:44:42]  I mean, what is this logic?
[01:44:43]  They infantilize us, they treat us like children.
[01:44:46]  This is a genocide happening in front of our eyes.
[01:44:48]  We have, yeah, we that word is, as you know, incredibly emotive.
[01:44:52]  And the Israelis, as you know, will be saying that they are targeting Hamas only.
[01:44:56]  It's become so obvious that we're being dictated to, that our reality is curated by tech overlords who are profiting off the infrastructure of genocide, of the surveillance of our lives.
[01:45:08]  All these things are interconnected.
[01:45:10]  So the propaganda doesn't work anymore.
[01:45:13]  It's too infantilizing and stupid.
[01:45:16]  One day after describing it as a tragic mishap, Israel has now claimed a deadly double strike on a Gaza hospital was prompted by the discovery of a Hamas camera.
[01:45:26]  A Hamas camera is why they blow up journalists at a hospital because they have a camera that was belonged to Hamas.
[01:45:33]  I mean, it just makes corporate media journalists and establishment journalists look like buffoons, doesn't it?
[01:45:38]  For towing this absurd propaganda that's so hollowed out and childlike.
[01:45:43]  They should be ashamed of themselves.
[01:45:45]  We have some really disturbing new information out of Israel.
[01:45:49]  The Israeli prime minister spokesman just confirmed babies and toddlers were found with their heads decapitated.
[01:45:58]  There's no excuse whatsoever.
[01:46:00]  They are complicit in this.
[01:46:01]  But you see Israel buying up media outlets.
[01:46:05]  We have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefields in which we're engaged.
[01:46:10]  And the most important ones are in social media.
[01:46:13]  And the most important purchase that is going on right now is class, TikTok.
[01:46:20]  TikTok, number one.
[01:46:21]  Do you see Israeli billionaires trying to tamp down on the narrative?
[01:46:25]  They're desperate.
[01:46:27]  They're desperate because they know that's the only way they'll survive is to try to convince the world of the opposite of what we're all seeing.
[01:46:33]  So that's why you see these desperate, pathetic influencers just spewing lies.
[01:46:38]  I'm here in Gaza, and all I see is food, water, and opportunity.
[01:46:42]  But instead of Hamas distributing the ramen noodles, they're eating it all, and that's why their leaders are on Ozempic.
[01:46:47]  Because it's all they have left.
[01:46:50]  They don't have anything anymore.
[01:46:52]  But it's too late.
[01:46:53]  We're never going to forget what it looks like when Palestinians hold their children in plastic bags.
[01:46:59]  No one can forget that.
[01:47:00]  I'm never going to forget the sound of a drone emitting a crying baby so it can massacre children who come out of their homes.
[01:47:26]  And get lured like a cat and mouse.
[01:47:29]  No one's going to forget that.
[01:47:30]  No one's going to forget what it looks like in Gaza today.
[01:47:34]  You can't wash that away.
[01:47:36]  You can't paper over that with degenerate propaganda, base level lies.
[01:47:44]  No one's going to paper over the unvarnished truth of what we've all witnessed for years now.
[01:47:50]  Now, this is urgent.
[01:47:52]  If you care about independent media, if you care about stories like this, you.
[01:47:57]  That was so good.
[01:47:59]  I am impressed with Abby Martin talking about earning her stripes.
[01:48:05]  That was sensational.
[01:48:07]  Joaquin, your thoughts?
[01:48:13]  Yeah, more people have to become more aware of just how dire it is.
[01:48:20]  Palestine.
[01:48:21]  And basically, you know, Lebanon.
[01:48:25]  Yeah, there needs to be a resistance that's, I mean, there are.
[01:48:34]  Wow.
[01:48:34]  And become resistance as well.
[01:48:39]  Russ.

=== Resistance Breaking Loose Now (02:48) ===

[01:48:41]  Well, you know, probably some people are going to point the finger at me and say, Russ Winter, why do you have the Iranian national anthem on your side?
[01:48:50]  Why do you have Iranian music, basically war music?
[01:48:55]  On your side.
[01:48:56]  And the reason is that I consider them to be the point of the spear to save humanity from what we just listened to because we're all going to be Palestinians at some point.
[01:49:08]  It's evident that that's the plan.
[01:49:10]  Now they're taking in Lebanon.
[01:49:12]  They're starting an extermination campaign now.
[01:49:15]  That's happening before our very eyes, right when the so called ceasefire is breaking loose.
[01:49:22]  So that's why I've got those songs.
[01:49:24]  Yeah, I'm going to find them.
[01:49:28]  I think it's great that you got them there.
[01:49:31]  And they're right, right, right down the.
[01:49:33]  The Roost one, the Roost phase.
[01:49:38]  It's top story.
[01:49:40]  Top story?
[01:49:41]  Yeah.
[01:49:43]  Oh, it's down at the bottom.
[01:49:44]  Yeah, okay.
[01:49:47]  Okay.
[01:49:47]  So we got a little bit of time.
[01:49:49]  We can kind of listen to a little of this just to kind of get some sense.
[01:49:52]  Yeah, no, I like it.
[01:49:55]  Hey, y'all, hey, y'all, right there.
[01:49:56]  That's the.
[01:49:57]  There we go.
[01:49:58]  Maybe two minutes of that.
[01:49:59]  Here we go.
[01:50:51]  Hey
[01:51:03]  Heider heider Fatiha khaybar heider Fatiha khaybar

=== Iran's Number One Defiance Song (02:05) ===

[01:51:29]  Wastar Zahra Wastar Zahra Baba Chishmet aza Shod Darya Baba Neybienem Che Bolzid To'y Sdata Ya Zahra Daar Inu'y Lambha Baba Gurbun Dast Da'y Lرضunet Baba Bore Khone Zulf Pani Shonet Baba I just got a job. Oh my goodness. Ain't never more to do
[01:52:09]  that song is being.
[01:52:15]  That's probably the number one resistance.
[01:52:19]  That's probably the number one resistance defiance song in Iran today.
[01:52:24]  And then the third one, the symphony.
[01:52:27]  The symphony is very good, too.
[01:52:32]  Theme song

=== Thank You Beatles, Goodbye (02:47) ===

[01:53:34]  for Open.
[01:53:38]  Get rid of the Beatles music!
[01:55:35]  Thank you, gentlemen.
[01:55:36]  You are superb.
[01:55:38]  As I always expect, you came through wonderfully, everyone.
[01:55:45]  Spend as much time with your family, your friends, the people you love and care about.
[01:55:49]  We do not know how much time we have left.
[01:55:52]  Use it wisely.
[01:55:54]  Support Revolution Radio, and God willing, we'll be back on Friday and we'll do it all over again.
[01:56:02]  I'll see you then.
[01:56:19]  This energy revolution in radio.
