BREAKING: Trump's Truths Talks with Iran Underway - Iran Fires Back - What We Know
Louder with Crowder's host analyzes Trump's paused strikes on Iran despite IAEA reports of ten nuclear bombs, while condemning Code Pink and celebrities like Steven Spielberg for aiding Cuba's oppressive regime. He argues these activists ignore local suffering to serve globalist agendas, contrasting their luxury stays with blackouts in hospitals. The episode concludes that such support empowers tyrants rather than helping oppressed populations, framing the situation as a deliberate propaganda tour ignoring reality.

Oh, he's gone.
Well, when you gotta go, you gotta go.
Welcome to, To the lineup, live.
I'm sure Gerald will be back.
Look, there's some developments right now.
Right now with Iran unfolding this very second.
We're going to go back.
Hey, we're going to count down the days.
I said, give it three months before we really analyze this, right?
This is how conflicts start.
Military, you don't know exactly how it transpires.
And right now, there's a lot of kind of oscillating, but seems to be moving in the right direction.
I have a few points I'd like to make, and I'm curious as to your opinions on Iran right now.
If when they say death to America, they mean it.
And if they say that they can build 10 nukes that they were bluffing or lying, and who's in on the conspiracy?
Also, we talked about Cuba last week.
Well, Champaign socialists went to Cuba, convoy code pink, Hassan, the Irish rapper NACOP, and the power that was required for their little pro-Comie concert literally killed people.
on with the show.
Maverick Targets Jack Dorsey00:05:28
Maverick here, preparing to pursue target.
Talk to me, quarterback goose.
Roger that.
Quarterback goose here.
You give him hell.
I got your six.
Okay.

We see this as a wild threat.
You bet you're sweet ass, Jack Dorsey.
Engaging targets.
Roger that, Maverick.
Missed him.
Uh, Maverick, looks like you have company on your tail.
Wait, Zuckerberg, get here.
As long as there are people spreading misinformation, this is going to be an ongoing conflict.
Well, this complicates things.
Seems like my invite got lost in the mail.
Too cute, man.
Tell them to put the Zima on ice.
Now the party's started.
I gotta call it.
Some boys were trying to do a woman's job.
Yeah, yeah.
I've heard it all before.
Let me show you boys how a real lady does.
Too cute, Daddy.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, hell, looks like you have a wujitsky on your five.
We have community guidelines to anything that promotes hate.
We will take it down.
This day just keeps getting better and better.
I can't shake her.
Oh, shoot.
She's locked onto me.
Wouldn't it black goose?
Ass kicking.
Half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richard.
Half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond.
You son of a.
Don't worry, boys.
I got this.
That's what I'm talking about.
Woo!
Looks like you just got sucker burned.
Woo!
John Man, go get some!
Hey, Jack!
You know the difference between precedent and precedence?
I don't have answers to that.
Because I'm about to set one right on your ass.
Did you see that?
You're a f***ing marvel.
Oh, hey, Susan.
You ordered no MSG, right?
Yeah, I hear it's bad for your help.
You know what's worse?
Me.
Don't worry, boys.
Looks like I'm gonna have to do this the old fashioned.
I'm going to face employer Bill now!
What?
Satoshi Damterosaka!
Oh, my God!
Half-Ace lawyer Bill Richmond, talk to me.
Do you read me half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond?
You boys didn't think you could get rid of me that easy, did you?
Half-Aceian Bill, you're alive!
Yeah!
We thought you were a goner, half-Asian Phil.

Accidental Heterosexuality Explained00:12:53
Glad to be- Oh!
Oh, well, look who decided to show.
Thank you, Joe.
Oh, that's what you did when I was gone.
What did we?
We talked about how grateful we are for him, right?
Yeah, it was like, whoa, we have such a good CEO.
It's so, you know, we're so proud to work on him.
He manages the monies good.
And he has a vision and a mission statement.
Yep.
We said like, and we also were just so glad that he's colorblind because he sees you for you, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
Never any judgment here.
No.
No.
No, not at all.
Which is why it's weird that you're so hateful.
Hey, let me ask you this.
Where should the left, the communist Marxists, where should they visit next on their aid mission?
Hell Gaza?
Well, they've already been to Gaza.
Maybe Iran?
Huh?
That might be fun.
What about Canada?
Well, there's a lot of people.
You know, a lot of people moved to Canada because of Trump, and then they found out that they couldn't work for six months on their visa.
Like, what am I supposed to do?
Die.
Maid service.
Captain Morgan, CEO.
How are you?
Better.
Good.
I'm glad.
A little lighter.
And Friday, Saturday.
Oh, April 24th, 25th at Comedy Avenue in Lawton, Oklahoma.
That's right.
See him.
You love him.
Mr. Josh Firestein.
How are you?
I'm good.
Yeah.
Good.
That's going to be a fun one.
That's by Fort Sill.
So a lot of artillery army men.
I don't know that much.
Which I love.
I love army men.
Oh, you do, huh?
Yeah.
I used to play with them.
Love them.
I dial it back a little bit.
Just to set the tone here, some high energy.
This man is becoming more and more like the caricature of this man, where I can't tell the difference.
So the raging Cajun James Carvell decided to go out and make the case, simp, if you will, for Gavin Newsom in a rant against President Trump.
I just should warn you beforehand, yes, it does get to be a little gross.
There's spittle and food on his lip, but he uploaded it anyway.
Maybe you saw this in news reports where our sack of shit president said that Gavin Newsom couldn't be president because he has dyslexia.
Let me tell you something, you so you know who has two thumbs, speaks French, and has dyslexia?
Moi.
That's right, me.
You know who else had it?
George Washington.
George had it?
Albert Einstein.
And you, son of a sorry, low-life sack of shit.
You nothing.
I look at all of you we fat slob, ignorant supporters out there talking about you're a good person.
You're no such goddamn thing.
You do not determine who in the is going to be successful in this country because you are a model for the theory that a fat, stupid sack of shit can get elected president because that's what you're fat, stupid.
I was wondering who it was.
I love that I have dyslexia.
I love I have a short intentions.
Man, the only thing that I've ever been able to concentrate on in my whole life is how much I hate you.
I concentrate on that all day.
And you know what?
I'm glad I'm like that.
Because I'm asking all of you out there who are dealing with some learning disability or dealing with a child or a family member that has some learning business to hate that son of a b just as much as I do.
That's putting on a multitude of levels.
Look, he's always been an old codger, this guy.
It seems like he's been this age since he was 30.
He's like angry Morgan Freeman.
Yes, exactly.
We happen to have our own old codger here at Loudworth Crowder, so it's time for actually the Loudworth Crowder War Room.
All right, Mr. Carville, Mr. DiPaolo, good to have you on.
James, I understand you had something to say to Nick DiPaulo in today's.
They should call child proof prescription bottles guinea proof.
If you're more proof of it, ask the rest of Nick's family.
Child proof.
Who knows more about child profane than you?
How's that for come back?
Well, that's what.
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over your lazy old pedophile jokes.
God isn't better than that, Mary.
Cappy, Mary, I can't even remember the boss.
Hey, I smell cut.
Did you fart, James?
Oh, I understand the joke.
The implication is I was a homosexual.
Not an implication, I was a fact I was calling out.
Which is hard for me to take lying down from a man I can't understand this differentiate if he has those impic faces.
AIDS.
I smell c again.
Did you burp?
Well, I did get through.
I was last to hop on your mama last night.
Oh, another mama joke.
Please.
You're only hopping on your sisters and your cousins since you're 18.
Oh, but you.
You ball f.
I hope you have cancer of the.
There are people dying out there, old council.
It's not something to make light of.
Yeah, it is.
F them and f you.
The only thing that hadn't been made light of for a while is your big, grissy, giddy ass.
I knew I saw this.
I said to myself, Cecilian, down his bloodline, there's a black man hiding behind his woodshed somewhere.
you done?
Also, quick fact check.
Washington Einstein very likely did not have dyslexia.
Ah, well, I would have known that if I could read.
That is terrible.
Where did he get that?
I get my timelines mixed up because of my dyslexia.
It's just, this is the guy who is advising the Democrat Party.
If one of them seems mentally stable right now, a leftist, just give him time.
Yeah.
Just give him time.
Can we think of any exceptions?
I really can't.
Give them time and give them Trump.
Yes.
And that's all you really need.
Just those two ingredients.
Speaking of absolutely insane, this professor from Cal State San Bernardino.
Ah, yes, the most prestigious one.
I don't know how else to set this up.
Lesbian, this is a hearing about a man who was allowed to play women's volleyball at school.
Some people obviously were opposed to men competing against women.
And the left, don't let them gaslight you.
Gavin Newsome, you know, he talked, he said this with Charlie Kirk.
He said, oh, of course, you know, men and women's sports.
I never supported that.
Yes, he did.
They try and act now as though they were never for it to get some distance between themselves and what was obvious to half of the country.
But then you see moments like these where you realize these folks are in charge of teaching your children and your young adults because they can't help themselves in supporting the depraved, the degenerate.
Here is a professor in Bernardino talking about her lesbian girlfriends.
Just watch.
The idea that I have to get up here and say that trans women are women and that's what I have to use my time to do is absurd.
Shame on you.
Shame on all of you.
And shame on you for using lesbian politics as a front for your transphobia because this lesbian has had plenty of girlfriends with penises.
Even the mic hated it.
So just a comment.
You want to take this one?
Yeah, that's accidental heterosexuality.
Yes.
So you're accidentally straight?
I kind of want to let a lesbian take this one.
Yes, I kind of do too.
Like, we should bring a lesbian on and go.
What?
Well, that's, I thought, okay, that's extraordinary.
I like the vagina.
Explain this to me like I'm five.
I was under the impression that the unwritten agreement with lesbians was we all understood that their primary grievance was with the penis.
Yes, they always say that it's so pokey and annoying.
It's always in the face.
I almost thought the definition of the word lesbian meant that one would avoid the penis.
Yes.
That that's almost like your primary cause.
Yeah, dick dodgers, they call them.
Yes.
Anti, like the Muhammad Ali, except instead of Vietnam, it's a lesbian and a penis.
You're dodging it.
You won't serve your country.
It's like a vegetarian eating chicken because it's marketed as tofu, which they also do.
And this lady, by the way, I do have a debate coming up at UPenn in April.
Remember, changed my mind, started as reaching out to professors.
No one ever did.
We had, what, six or seven dropout?
One remain.
So we'll be doing that with a moderator, their terms, their rules.
That'll happen.
We'll be uploading it to this channel.
94%, 94 out of every $100 donated from university professors goes to the Democrat Party.
$94 out of every 100.
94%.
So people will say, they'll cite these polls and Pew Research.
Some people identify as moderately liberal, moderately conservative.
94% give their money to Democrats.
They're teaching your kids.
This professor, Jamie O'Quinn, this is this person's bio.
I just say her because she's a lesbian, but I guess they change the rules all the time.
I don't know.
Jamie O'Quinn, she slash they, okay, we get it, is a feminist scholar activist whose research examines how sexual inequalities are reproduced through social institutions.
Her research and teaching interests focus on sexualities, youth, whoa, and inequality.
Translation, she's going to groom your kids.
Whoa.
Their research.
Yes.
Is that what you were upset about, Gerald?
No.
Oh.
It's the youth part of that.
Yeah.
Oh.
I was more concerned with her pronouns.
Remember, it used to be like, hey, it's okay.
Hey, it's okay to be gay.
Remember, there was that PSA Hillary Duff was like, someone said, like, oh, that's gay.
And she just popped out of nowhere like, da-ding, like an LGBTQ activist, I dream of genie.
So she's like, hey, when you say that's gay, do you know what you say?
And I remember watching it as a kid going, yes, live to the TV.
Yes, of course I do.
That's why I say it.
But it used to be, it's okay to be gay.
Now it's like, hey, it's okay to not like boys and be lesbian.
All right.
And you can have your cake and eat your penis too.
This just shows you, it's about breaking down any and all social norms, like they say.
We're saying the same thing.
Hey, we need heterosexual couples to rear children, to have families so that we can have a society that's a constitutional republic because it's a central building block.
We need these traditions, norms, institutions, because that's how we maintain a society.
Those on the left say, yeah, the problem is that our social norms have said that heterosexuality is somehow more legitimate.
And actually, it's just as good to be lesbian for society, even though you like penises.
Then you're not a lesbian.
I don't know what you are.
It's just sick.
It's a sick thing to do.
It's also greedy.
You don't get to have all of it.
I think it's needy is what it is.
Yes.
It's like, I need someone to like me.
And right now, the only person has a penis.
I think she's trapped.
I think she's a lesbian, but she's a feminist first and foremost, which means that anything that presents as a woman, she has to accept, even if it has a penis.
It's true.
She can't get out of that one.
And I love that her stupid feminism has trapped her there.
It's the feminist loop.
You go from hating men, right, from misingry all the way back to around, and now you have to accept the D.
And you're like, ah.
No, but you have to accept a crazy version of the D that has mental illness and probably also fake boobs.
Isn't it crazy that most of these women are lesbians because they've had negative interactions with men?
Look, it's almost all, it's almost all nurture, to be clear.
Homosexuality, it's been around for a long time.
It's pretty stable, about one, two percent of the population.
Okay, I think there's a component of nature and of nurture.
With lesbians, it's almost always nurture, either negative interaction or a lack of a father figure.
I think it's like the public ones, though.
They're like public-facing ones.
Like I've known lots of lesbians.
You meet them, you're like, yeah, you definitely don't like dudes, right?
Right.
Like nice F-150.
Yeah.
Well, that's what they were getting.
Maybe they got slapped around by a guy too often.
They're rejected.
So they left.
And then, ironically, they've run into the arms of a transgender with a penis who undoubtedly is going to beat them.
So I guess all is well that ends well.
It's a circle of life.
I'll tell you what's not ending well.
Did you use my tampons again?
They don't fit for you.
That's a fight right there.
That's a big fight in that house.
That's a big fight.
Are you saying I can't use tampons?
Right.
Yeah.
Kind of.
How often do you think?
Think about it.
The lesbian is the sensible man and the relationship.
At some point, this conversation is going to take place.
Like, are you saying that, are you saying that men can't menstruate?
Toxic Observations on DUIs00:04:48
Fucking yes.
Okay.
Okay.
It's not all about you, Lyle.
Sorry, Bettina.
Yes, you cannot menstruate.
Those are my tampons, okay?
You're hand-pumped beside me.
It's just like, yeah, no, it's just as legitimate.
It's just as healthy.
And Kwanzaa is just as legitimate as Christmas.
Let's just act like that.
Or, or you accept this is a Christian nation, a constitutional republic.
You only have these laws, the authority by which you can declare something right and wrong because you share the same beliefs of the founding fathers and deeply held Christian unalienable rights.
Or this is where you end up, and there's no way to argue against it.
I'm sorry, you can't.
It all starts with being a cultural relativist.
It all starts with moral relativism, and this is where you end up.
And this is why, when people say, oh, I didn't leave the Democrat Party, they left me.
Nope.
You were part of the start of this, and you have no leg to stand on to argue against it.
If you say, Yeah, same-sex marriage, you can't say, Yes, she's not had many girlfriends with penises.
I'll tell you what hasn't ended well.
Justin Timberlake, and I will say, it's really easy to crap on celebrities.
This is probably the nicest, probably the most actually helpful to an image sort of PR campaign DUI that I've ever seen.
Yeah, it's the very best bad DUI.
Yes, that's exactly right.
It makes me like him more.
Not that he has the DUI, but how he handled it.
it's time for Entertainment Minute.
Don't drink and drive.
Don't drive drunk.
And by the way, certainly don't do it in this area of Long Island.
It's a well-known speeding trap.
You probably are fundamentally ignorant or unintelligent if you are speeding drunk in Long Island off-season.
2024 DUI arrest tape of Justin Timberlake.
And it's very long.
I highly recommend you go see all of it, but it's pretty funny.
The stops because you're veering off to the left, and then you're not stopping at the stop signs.
Yeah.
Sorry about that.
What are you visiting?
Yeah, I'm on tour.
What are you doing?
I'm on a world tour.
A what?
A world tour.
Doing what?
Hard to explain.
Not really.
Singing and dancing.
World tour.
I'm Justin Timberlake.
What's your name?
Justin Tibberlake.
And then just walk.
I'm sorry.
Come on, officer.
Ready?
Get ready.
I'm a little nervous.
These are like really hard tests.
They are.
So the way this device works, you just put your looks over it and you blow up, blow into it like you're blown away.
Hard no.
Can you help me, please?
Can we do anything?
Can you please stop it?
I'll do anything.
No, it's, I mean, it is what it is at this point, okay?
So you can't put him in jail.
Canvas, please just do me a favor because you loved bye-bye by one favor.
You watch trolls.
He wants me to give him his thought.
Yeah, this is insane.
His observations: you are toxic.
Okay.
So you are under arrest for DWI.
Okay.
White?
Just kidding.
Just kidding.
Like, and he's actually very friendly.
The other officer is filming at one point.
He goes, Hi, how are you doing tonight?
He goes, I'm doing fine.
How are you?
Good.
Thanks.
Like, he's very polite with them.
He knows he's screwed up.
He's not getting violent.
I tell you what, though, when I watch this, I'm like, I bet you many people would fail those tests stone cold.
They are hard.
Yeah.
Some of them.
Some of them are very easy, but some of them are hard.
It's not as funny as if you've ever seen the Jean-Claude Van Damme one.
You ever see that one that's going to walk on a straight line, hold his nose, and he holds his nose and he does a standing split.
Yeah.
They're like, no, you're going to have to blow in the breathalyzer.
We didn't know you were a freak athlete.
I mean, I can do this.
Come on.
I have a hard time with a straight line anyway.
Like, my son wants to do the curb thing when you walk on the curb.
Do it, me, dad.
I'm like, no, because we're in front of people.
Yeah.
But here's the thing, too.
He's also, he's trying to be subject, guys.
Is there something he can do?
And then the lady's like, you can't do this.
Like, he's like, they can.
He gets that they can.
And what do these celebrities all have in common?
Unlike many of us, they don't really have to do their own medical procedures, as we do here, or pay for their own mortgage.
You okay?
Preemptive Strike vs Left00:16:26
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, just trying to get these stitches out, but I can't really see what I'm doing.
You're doing it yourself?
Yeah, I always do it myself.
Yeah, that's not going to work.
Here, let me help.
Are those sterile?
Ah, probably.
Don't worry about it.
Just turn around.
Yeah, nah, trust me.
Trust me.
Isopropyl.
Trust me.
You can save money other ways.
American financing.
Start today.
You may be able to delay up to two mortgage payments.
Go to AmericanFinancing.net slash Crowder or call 1-800-974-6500.
Gerald?
NMLS.
NMLS.
What is it?
1-82334.
Isn't it weird that I have many phone numbers of people who are centrally important to my life that I can't remember, but I will remember that number for the rest of my days.
1-8-2-3-3-4.
Because I have to say it every time.
But we actually have a lot of people who've gotten better deals on their mortgage here by using American Finance.
And some people who didn't.
And then they just got a match.
So really do check them out.
It's one of those industries where it is littered with scams.
Speaking of a lot of scams out there, there's so much misinformation regarding Iran, regarding President Trump, regarding the regime, regarding the people.
I often, I've asked you, like, where do you line up?
And the truth is, we used to be able to ask those questions.
Now we have to ask, okay, where do you line up and what's your basis for that?
Because people aren't even agreeing on central tenets, on basic facts.
And I think that it's a legitimate conversation to have.
Okay, to what degree should the United States intervene?
How will this affect midterms, the optics?
What does the timeline look like?
Absolutely.
But you have some people out there who believe that Iran has never attacked Americans.
Yes, they have.
Who believe that Iran was nowhere near becoming a nuclear power?
Of course they were.
Who believe that Iran posed as no threat?
Who believe that the people of Iran actually like their regime?
These are just not accurate.
These aren't half-truths.
These are factual inaccuracies.
And the reason I bring that up is because I wonder if people knew the truth.
If people knew that there was a nation out there that oppressed and killed and imprisoned its own people who have said that they will kill Americans at any given opportunity, they are a death cult who want to bring about the apocalypse, have said death to America, death to America, if you may believe them.
And then that might change your jumping off point.
So a lot happened over the weekend.
Just this morning, President Trump dropped this statement on truth, and then there's been an update since then.
He wrote, I am pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had over the last two days very good, very good, productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which will continue throughout the week.
They better continue.
I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants, energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions.
Thank you for this attention to this matter, write his signature.
This comes after, throughout the weekend, he set a 48-hour deadline where he threatened to blow up Iran's power plants.
Also, the reason that's important is because that would affect the civilian population.
Most of them seemingly still welcome it if you read from them on social.
Obviously, not a lot of polling data to come in, but he made that threat earlier.
And this is what we saw today.
So, this is the earlier threat.
He said, if Iran doesn't fully open without threat the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first.
Why did it start with the biggest one?
So, the new statement happened.
Markets are kind of rebounding.
According to CNBC's Joe Kernan, the discussion seemed to center around the idea of regime change, which is really technicality because there is a change of regimes since most of them are dead.
The futures are spiking on that truth social post from the president that the U.S. and Iran have had productive discussions.
I just spoke to the president.
President Trump said the discussions had been very good over the last 48 hours, very intense discussions.
I said, Well, with whom?
I thought, you know, there aren't a lot of leaders left alive.
He said they have representatives, obviously.
The president went on to say or insist that this is regime change because it's totally different people that were involved in the last year.
I would imagine some of the people are the same.
This is the president's take on that, insisting that it's regime change.
He went on to say great meetings, great conversations, and hopes that within the next five days, something very substantive can be arrived at for the end of hostilities.
And this is the problem in the era of misinformation.
And by the way, you are a useful tool if you're delivering misinformation, just so you know.
Anyone out there who thinks that the communist Chinese government, the communist Cuban government, or the Islamo-Kami fascists in the Iranian regime, the Islamic Republic, are not feeding disinformation to willing participants, you live in a fool's paradise, just to be clear.
I'll get to the updates, but here's one thing that I do want to keep in context.
Presidents don't exist in a vacuum.
And a big reason, too, that I think this is unfair for people to attack President Trump on wrongful premises is that in comparing him to other administrations, I want you to do something for me, okay?
Name me a single president.
Name me a single president in modern American history who didn't say, hey, of course, we cannot allow Iran to get a nuke.
Name me a single president.
Biden said it.
Obama said it.
George W. Bush said it.
Clinton said it.
George Bush Sr. said it.
Ronald Reagan said it.
Every single one said, of course, they cannot get a nuke.
Now, name me a single international governing body who didn't also recognize Iran as a danger because they're a rogue terror state.
Name me one.
Now name me a single president who did anything about it.
That's the difference.
That's the difference.
And people saying, well, President Trump promised he wouldn't.
He's always said that they wouldn't be allowed to have a nuke.
I think it's also pretty important to note that billions of dollars, not only unfrozen, but in cash, given to Iran under the Barack Obama administration, you think it maybe takes some work to undo that?
Do you think that maybe accelerated the danger?
I think the left would claim that as doing something about it, too.
If Iran acted out, if Iran did what they have been doing now, basically bombing their own neighbors, if they got a nuke or they had the serious capabilities to harm every major city in Europe, which seems to be the case, and they did it, of course, President Trump would be blamed.
Here's what the media would do: they would blame President Trump, and they would try and paint it as Barack Obama and Joe Biden tried to stop it, did enough.
He's damned if he does, he's damned if he doesn't.
Shortly after that truth, the foreign minister denied any talks took place from Iran, and then President Trump immediately responded to that.
So here's up to the minute.
Foreign ministry says you're not telling the truth when it comes to productive conversations to end the world.
They're going to have to get themselves better public relations, people.
We have had very, very strong talks.
We'll see where they lead.
We have points of major points of agreement.
I would say almost all points of agreement.
Perhaps that hasn't been conveyed.
The communication, as you know, has been blown to pieces.
They're unable to talk to each other.
But we've had very strong talks.
Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner had them.
Who is Steve Witkoff speaking with, Mr. President?
Steve Winter.
A top person.
Don't forget.
We've wiped out the leadership phase one, phase two, and largely phase three.
But we're dealing with the man who I believe is the most respected and the leader.
You know, it's a little tough.
They've wiped out, we've wiped out everybody.
No, not the supreme leader.
We don't know.
Well, nobody's ever, nobody heard of the second supreme leader, the sun.
Nobody, we have not heard from the sun.
Every once in a while, you'll see a statement made, but we don't know if he's living.
And I know that none of this matters to some of you who've made up your minds.
And by the way, like I've said in the past, I haven't.
I said, let's check back in in three months.
I understand there's information that will be incomplete for me as it relates to matters of national security and war.
That's the nature of it, and I accept that.
You have some people, though, who somehow still believe that Iran was not in any way a nuclear threat.
I know.
I know some of you watching right now go like, well, no one actually disputes that.
No, actually, a lot do.
Did you know that?
Did you know that a lot of people online think that that's a psyop, that it's propaganda?
That Iran was nowhere near nuclear capabilities?
They think it's been a lie because it's been warned about for decades.
I don't know if you remember, Iran's foreign minister said they had enough material for about 10 bombs.
I never said that we are going to make bombs.
I said that we have 440 kilos of 60% enriched material, and that was not a secret.
That is what is mentioned in the reports of the IAEA.
So I said that, look, this is mentioned in the report.
This, if enriched more, can be good enough for 10 bombs, as your own experts claims.
So the IAEA said they were.
60% enrichment.
Our administration said they were close.
Iran themselves said, yeah, we could.
We may not.
We could.
But you have people out there in order to say that Donald Trump is a warmonger.
No, none of that is true.
It's all a psyop from Israel.
I don't want a single American to die for Israel.
I don't want a single American to die because Iran exists, to be clear.
That's why I don't want Americans to die for any other country, including Iran.
Many Americans have, to be clear.
Over decades.
Yes.
You do have to acknowledge, though, that they said they could.
International governing bodies said they could.
And then when you take into account, this isn't completely confirmed.
Reportedly, they fired missiles at Diego Garcia, which is about 2,000 miles away.
Now, allegedly, they were fired.
They were intercepted.
We don't know.
But we do know this.
They've been launching missiles at their nearby supposed friends or somewhat neutral allies out of desperation.
And some of those have required missiles that tell us they actually Iran, if what he said is true, and they have enough for 10 bombs.
Every major city in Europe is within Iran's missile range.
Yeah.
We're seeing now what Marco Rubio said to be true, out of desperation, because they're going to be destroyed anyway.
Now they're firing them off.
So the nation that has said we will kill every Westerner that we can, they want America first.
They want to kill America first.
And of course, Israel.
I get it.
I'm just glad they're America first.
Right.
Yeah.
But any major city in Europe will do.
Again, I go back to name me a single president who did not say we have to prevent Iran from getting a nuke.
You won't find one.
Same thing for the international governing bodies.
Name me a single president who actually did anything other than talks and giving them cash.
I give him credit for that.
Yeah.
And allowing them to develop their ballistic missile program.
And this is the problem with that.
It's not just that the European theater now comes into play.
It's that every talking head on X and everywhere else that's been so anti because this is Israel's war.
It doesn't benefit the United States at all has said that their range is only half of what it would take for them to actually hit Diego Garcia.
Right.
That changes things because maybe, God forbid, the United States president knows more about what's going on than you do.
Right.
I would hope so.
It's a game changer.
Now, it's yet to be confirmed.
So I don't want to speak too strongly on it, but that would be like, holy crap, maybe, maybe the thing that we always knew was possible is that the DNI and the president of the United States both know more about what's going on than you do.
Maybe.
Yeah.
It seems like this conversation should be centering around the level of legitimacy as to the threat of Iran or how seriously they should be taken, not whether they want to cause irreparable damage to anyone they can get their hands on in the Western world.
It's bizarre to me that that's where the conversation centers.
And this is why I said, hey, hopefully you guys have set your clock.
March 4th, 19 days ago, I said, give this military action, give it three months, and then come back to me and I'll have a more developed opinion.
Give it three months.
I think we have a clip.
Or was that just the answer?
Yeah.
23 days ago, it started.
19 days ago, I said, give it about three months because that will determine the level of support that this receives.
If it's swift, if it's fast, if it's effective, it would help in the midterms.
If it's long, if it's drawn out, if it's unclear, if it's opaque, it'll hurt.
But people trying to trumpet as loudly as they can right now, this is going to hurt.
And I regret my vote.
You're being more preemptive than the left.
Yeah.
And by the way, they're saying that Donald Trump said he was the peace president, and that's why.
He didn't lie to you guys.
He is the peace president.
Look back at his first term.
What was he the peace president through?
Strength.
Peace through strength.
He understands a threat is out there and he's going to have to deal with it.
Nobody wants us to have to deal with these threats, but they exist.
So he's dealing with it for peace.
Yeah.
Unless you heard.
Let me know.
Do you think a nuclear Iran or Iran with biochemical weapons and intermediate range missiles, do you think that's a more peaceful world?
That's the only question that matters is, do you think that they were a threat?
Do you think that they were on their way to get nukes, which seems pretty obvious?
And if they had them, would they use them?
If the answer is, you think yes?
Well, people.
Stopping that is peace.
I mean, it's just a matter of how you do it.
If you do it really effectively, then it's really easy to argue for peace.
If you don't do it effectively and you're there for five, six months or longer, it's hard to argue effectiveness.
But a lot of people out there will say, well, nukes are a deterrent.
Well, that's true.
If they share any of your Western sensibilities whatsoever, you need to understand this particular version of Islam, this Islamic death cult, they don't value the lives of their own people in the same way.
Especially since they're not all Muslim in Iran.
But the regime doesn't care.
They will gladly sacrifice all of their people and take you with them.
It's not the same as other nations who want to preserve their people.
Iran's dogma is we're going to bring about the apocalypse.
We want to speed it up.
It's a very, very different prospect.
And you have people out there telling you, no, that's not true.
Just read their own words.
Look into the 12th Imam.
We've done a segment on it.
You can go back to a previous episode.
Does that shed some new light on it?
We set them back a bit, didn't we?
We did.
We set them back quite a bit.
We brought it up before, but just to reiterate, the earlier we do this, the less possible casualties are involved in it.
The longer we wait, the more dangerous it becomes for all involved.
Yeah, and some people say, well, we've been saying that since the 70s.
Sure.
At a certain point, right?
You ever have this?
It's go time.
Cuban People Supporting Oppression00:15:19
If you have someone who never straightens up and flies right, you'd rather fight them.
You'd rather deal with them before they are at their strongest, before they are in their most powerful state.
Especially when they have something to leverage.
Yes.
Like oil, straight-formuz.
All of it.
Yep.
That's exactly right.
And also, I understand.
We're going to get to Cuba here in a second.
These regimes, this is one thing that's very consistent.
You look at Venezuela, the people are happy.
You look at Iran, the people want to see the regime out.
Same thing with Cuba.
They want their regime out.
Only communists and some people on the right saying, no, no, that's a PSYOP.
That's not true.
Doesn't mean it's our job to.
But at a certain point, you do have to say, hey, maybe a bunch of people have mutually aligned interests that these regimes are bad.
These people are starving.
You look at the amount of weight that the average Venezuelan lost, by the way, that's choking off Cuba at the same time.
And you are fortunate that you could go to the store and just pick up a steak whenever you want, though you shouldn't do that, which brings us to today's reverse super chat.
Oh, you guys saw the freezer packs in there.

It's a ladies' steak.
That's a ladies' steak.
Ah, give me a tomahawk.
By the way, that box is just one rack of beef ribs.
Yes.
That's awesome.
It's okay.
You like your filet.
And then we've had many girlfriends with penises.
This has been reverse super chat.
I hate all of you.
By the way, thank you.
I received a rate from Dan Bongino.
We'll be sending you guys along to the next show, the lineup live on Rumble.
You don't need to hit that dial.
Change that dial.
And guys, let me know if there are any updates.
I know a lot is kind of moving and shaking with Iran right now.
Absolutely.
Cuba.
I talked about that last week.
We had Spanglish Generation on.
I have quite a bit of experience with Cuban Americans personally, and I've spent some time in Cuba.
It was, I would say this, it was one of my formative experiences.
I found out I was right-wing in seventh grade drama class when my drama teacher said we need to give back all the land to Native Americans.
And I had just come from history class, and in Quebec, we had the Algonquins and the Iroquois, and they were at horrible war.
And I said, Well, which one should we, which tribe should we give it back to?
She said, That's so right-wing.
I went home, asked my dad, what does that mean, right-wing?
He explained it to me.
I went back the next day, and I said, Hey, I am right-wing, and she failed me.
Wow.
What an air gofflin.
I went to Cuba.
This was my first real personal experience where it deeply affected me.
First time I was in Cuba, it was for a stupid Rising Crust Pizza commercial because it was baseline budgeting.
Spent time in Havana.
There were blackouts then, just so you know.
The entire hotel, we had to go to a restaurant that was in somebody's house.
Everything was candlelight.
This is nothing new.
That sounds romantic.
It is, except for the abject poverty.
Oh, and I got very sick.
I got the smell from the not working toilet.
Okay.
And I got very sick.
But I saw that.
And then I, I believe I was 16, saw Canadians going on vacation to the beaches, coming home, and back then showing everyone their Polaroids, going, no, no, no, it's great.
And I were being so mad.
This is before the term privilege, white privilege, was really a thing.
But that really stuck with me.
And here's the thing you need to understand: you can't help people.
It's not possible if they live under a communist regime.
It's not possible because the regime will ensure that none of your help goes to those people.
The only way to help them is to get them out.
That's exactly right.
The only way to help them is to force some kind of regime change by any levers you can pull.
So that brings us to this weekend.
The Nuestra America Convoy, organized by Code Pink, those lovely ladies, arrived in Cuba with $400-something thousand dollars worth of supplies, enough food for not even themselves on their own trip.
Really?
Yeah.
And they went with Code Pink, a bunch of angry, shrieking feminists, an Irish rapper, and a Turkish communist in $3,000 glasses.
And they want you to know that, hey, they're doing the right thing by going and helping the Cuban communists.
Sorry, I mean, the Cuban people, they're supporting, whatever.
Just watch their social videos.
We saw, at least it made some news, the fact that there was an outage of electricity on the whole island.
They're under the cosh from the United States.
They've all been the cosh to the United States ever since 1960.
But this time it's kind of worse.
And it's worse because President Trump has said he wants to destroy Cuba.
Most other presidents have destroy the regime.
And they say that they're running.
And as brutal as this blockade is, the intensification of the economic warfare against Cuba, they don't have electricity.
They are so rich.
They're so rich in love, and they keep spreading that love to all of us.
This system, this rigorous sanctions system actually dominates their lives in very meaningful ways.
And yet, we don't even know about it.
Most Americans don't even know about it.
And I would go so far as to say even a lot of Cubans don't know about it either.
You should tell them.
I'm looking to leave a good vision of 2010.
This is the mural of your humanity.
And it's going to have little boats with your best friend.
They're the supplies that will be going directly to the government.
We are going to stay in the house.
On our way to Cuba, we have lots and lots of medical supplies.
That is what we need, Mrs. Dropy Dogface.
And those crates, those boxes, that's then being intercepted by the, how much do you want to bet that'll be in the black market or powering their individual suites and mansions while the people starve.
This is not the first time you've made this point.
actually called it prior.
What do you think the chances are that Hassan Piker will be delivering supplies straight to the Cuban people, bypassing the government, or do you think it'll be going to the government for them to distribute?
Every single thing that arrives in Cuba goes through the government.
The only reason they're going to Cuba and being allowed to do this whole charade is because it's already been filtered.
Come let Zotar tell you more.
My congratulations.
The next pitch ball right past the flag.
We're going to win the game, I guarantee.
How did I know?
What the what?
Yeah, and first of all, I want to say whoever donated $455,000 worth of stuff, that's very nice.
But how do they think that's going to get to 11 million people?
How does that distribute to 11 million?
And the spirit of it, nice.
They're actually, it'd be like if you see, let's say, there's a tyrant on a block, right?
Who is ruling with an iron fist, raping, starving, killing everybody.
And they say, hey, we need help.
And you go, oh, great.
And give that bully $430,000.
They are enabling and empowering the government, which will ensure the people remain oppressed for as long as the government can get away with it.
The government will ensure that people live in poverty while they live high in the hog.
It's never happened any other way.
It's never taken place any other way.
There is no example of communism where there has not, where that has not been the case.
Maoist China, you look at Pol Pot, you can look at Stalin.
Of course, you can look at the Castros, Guevara.
All of them individually lived the decadent lifestyle that they champion against while the people live in poverty.
Not one example to the opposite.
So maybe that's why you can contrast these wealthy leftists supporting enabling communism, which, by the way, they've told you that.
They've told you that's what they want to do.
While the Cuban people, who overwhelmingly, when you look at any data, and it's very hard to find because the government isn't too keen on transparency, overwhelmingly oppose their communist regime.
that's why you see the contrast between these people, Five Star Resort, and the Cuban people living in total darkness this weekend.
The only thing lit up was the hotel where they were staying.
Sweet car.
Cuba looks fine.
Whoops.
And I want, again, like, I'm beside myself this weekend, think of this level of evil.
People going, hey, we're starving.
Please, just make, can you guys get the government?
Don't give them anything.
They're just going to use it to oppress us more.
And then white liberals going, shut up.
No, no, no.
The government is good.
And just to be clear, I have said their allegiances to communism.
I mean it.
That's not hyperbole.
They can't even make the argument that actually, well, hold on a second.
You know, we do want to work with the government to help the people, but maybe there can be some reform.
No, the Code Pink-backed envoy, these people gave a standing ovation to Cuban dictator, tyrant, communist Miguel Diaz-Canel.
Here's the video.
They are saluting a tyrant.
Now, take this into context.
By the way, we live stream at 11 a.m. Eastern.
If you're watching a clip, we do it every weekday.
That guy ordered basically the ban of any artistic displays in Cuba outside of those approved by the government.
That was one of his first acts.
He arrested and fined dozens of people for internet posts criticizing the regime.
By the way, the fine is three times the average monthly salary.
This is a guy who imprisoned 1,500 people for protesting over the economy.
Not for acts of violence, for protesting.
Hey, maybe the reason that the power only was on in the hotel in that convention center, as opposed to anywhere else in Cuba, was because this dictator, this tyrant, wants people like this who he knows will support him to go out and champion his cause on social media.
Maybe he wants them to push the propaganda while people starve.
Do you get how evil this is?
That's a very important thing to remember.
In 2018, they ordered all artistic displays to be government approved.
So that wall they're painting approved.
That was approved, if not mandated or guided.
That concert, all the videos are taken.
Everything had to be approved.
Yep.
They didn't have it.
And they go in there, oh, I'm doing that.
No, you had no say in any of it.
Yep.
And every single person who they encounter would have to be people approved by the communist regime.
And then these people go out and social and go, oh, the Cuban people actually love the.
You literally can't leave the premises from where it has been entirely orchestrated as nothing more than propaganda.
So let's go through the key players pushing this evil.
And I mean evil.
People are dying because of communism in Cuba.
And these people want that government.
Make no mistake.
That's why they saluted them.
That's why they give them a standing oath.
They want that government to remain in power because America bad.
Kneecap, an Irish rapper, I guess.
What?
They got the best kind of rap.
Tibia was taken.
But two chains wasn't available.
So he decided to show up and support Cuba's tyrannical regime.
Oh, it's awful.
Oh, a bouncy house.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Also, the remaining places that had power outside that hotel went out right after their concert.
Whoops.
Including five hospitals, by the way.
While he's up there in Cuba saying free, free Palestine.
Yeah, that's what the Cuban people need.
They need you to sermonize on Palestine.
He even confirmed this, by the way.
This is not hearsay.
You can check out the references.
We make them available every show.
He wrote, Aben and Havana with the power cutting out Sharti after our gig, the message of solidarity to Palestine remains the same.
Fuck off.
No bleep needed for that.
By the way, it's not just an individual.
Kneecap is a group name, not the individual.
I don't care.
No, I don't care either, but I want to make sure you have anything.
Keecap the group.
I'm sorry.
It's like the Beastie Boys, but gay.
What are there two of them?
So he acknowledges the power went off.
So, you know, there's no power anywhere else on the island.
There was some power, you know, right there around the hotel.
Hey, do you think that, do you think that members of the Cuban government can't hit a crank and let people boil their water?
No, of course they want to starve their people.
For the same reason, they have to have armed guards protecting these approved artists so that they don't get torn limb from limb.
But he wants to use this platform to push Palestine.
They want this government in power.
Hassan Piker is the other player here.
And I'm going to fact check what he told you.
It's just factually incorrect.
He seems to be getting dumber.
He stayed, he flew commercial, looked like they were flying first class.
I have no problem with it, except for when you say you're going on a flotilla and you're doing this in solidarity with the Cuban people.
Fact Checking Hassan Piker00:15:17
Stayed at a five-star hotel, the hotel, the Grand Hotel Bristol in Havana.
The cheapest room is like over $200 a night.
The average salary for someone in Cuba is $13 a month, just to be clear.
Piker misinformed his audience.
He actually just, he wants you to know, he was forced to stay at the five-star hotel by the American government.
The American government makes it illegal for Americans to stay wherever they want when they're in Cuba.
They have to stay in what they've declared as five-star hotels, right?
Wrong.
Oh, boy, you.
I'm telling you all this because, like, even the five-star hotels are not like, you know, not good enough, huh?
Forget what.
It's not like it's what the American government has declared five-star hotels.
Yeah, gross American government.
Enjoy those $2,000 Cartier pedophile glasses.
Here's the truth.
That's a cute little espresso cup.
Yeah.
The truth is the opposite of that.
It's actually the opposite.
Americans are only prohibited from staying at government-owned properties.
And there are plenty of people who do missions trips or do charity work, right?
There are exemptions.
The American policy is actually officially to encourage that people stay at individual homes.
They're called casas particulars, if I'm pronouncing that.
Particulares.
Meaning, the American government says you just can't stay at government-owned properties, and we recommend that you stay at individual Airbnbs so that your money will go directly to people.
Hassan Piker chose to stay at the five-star hotel, which he wants you to know isn't all that nice.
Does it get any more obvious as far as limousine liberal of people use the term champagne socialist?
Could it possibly be any more obvious that these people are loyal to communism and that they're evil?
It's fine, though.
Cubans love actually having no power being broke while artists from other countries get to play in a hotel with a bouncy house.
It's truly one of my favorite places officially.
I totally understand why Will was saying that about Cuba.
It's remarkable.
The people's resilience is remarkable.
There's, I mean, there's like rolling blackouts that take place throughout the day, every day, all around the country, right?
Why?
But today is a beautiful day out here.
It's like 75 degrees, sunny.
Oh, people are partying.
People are partying the streets.
I don't know if it's like an island mindset.
I don't know if it's like, I don't know if that has something to do with it.
I'm sure that has something to do with it, but like they're just chilling.
Like Cubans just, they vibe.
They chill.
They vibe.
They chill.
What the hell?
They're on street corners because they have no jobs and they have no food.
They chill.
They don't really argue or fight back.
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
They're pretty chill.
They got good vibes.
Also, notice that none of these people uploaded anything to social outside of what was taking place in that hotel and a few guided tours.
It's remarkable to me.
Yeah, they seem to be fine.
Really?
They're fine.
But they're cool with it.
Doesn't have to be.
And it's been going on for decades.
This is not new.
Here's something else.
I couldn't believe it this was said out loud.
And just picture someone saying this, like, yeah, the Africans in Africa suck, but the Africans in America are cool, or vice versa.
This is exactly what Hassan said.
The Cubans in Miami, the guys who, the people who fled Cuba, they're actually bad.
But the Cubans in Cuba are cool.
So don't listen to the Cuban Americans who tell you it's bad.
Listen to Hassan Piker.
Not in Miami?
Oh, dude, it's the reversal.
Actually, literally, like the exact opposite.
Like, all the good Cubans stayed here.
And most of the, most of the ones that are crazy flew up there.
I swear to God.
I had a really funny experience with that.
It's like, we get in the car.
We get into Uber last night.
Marsh and I are about to discuss that we're going to be on Cuba, like talking about plans, right?
And I was like, March, don't say anything.
Because I noticed that the dude in the car was a Miami Cuban.
I was like, don't.
Like, I literally went, don't say anything.
And then I just asked him.
I was like, where are you from?
And he's like, oh, Cuba.
And I was like, okay.
And I just asked him about like, you know, what his feelings are about what's going on.
March actually spat some Spanish at him.
Oh, how worldly.
And let me tell you, okay.
Tell me.
He said, Donald Trump needs to finish the job.
That's what he said.
That was the first guy.
Yeah.
And so would every single Cuban-American and Cuban who thinks that they're actually speaking under legitimate terms of anonymity.
All of them.
At a certain point, they can't all be wrong.
But let me get this straight.
The guy who's vacationing in Cuba as part of a propaganda tour cheering the government wants to educate the man who lived in Cuba as to why it's actually great.
This was this entire weekend.
What an arrogant asshole.
Yeah.
I think it's worse than arrogance.
I think these people, they don't want you to know that they support communism.
They would love to see a global communist takeover.
They've let you know.
Cuba, great.
America bad.
Communism in Cuba better than Donald Trump in the United States.
And then the irony is lost.
If you're wondering why Hassan Piker didn't live stream any of the interviews, well, he explained that too without a hint of irony.
Most of the interviews will be off the stream because it's like very difficult to one, it's very difficult to get around.
Not as bad as you would think, but it's still obviously a bit of a pain to get around.
And also on top of that, you know, there's severe conditions here.
The energy grid is currently stable, luckily.
But as you guys know, the energy grid was taken out for like 24 hours.
By who?
Just not in your hotel and the government buildings.
And the government won't let him go anywhere is probably what he's saying.
Like, oh, it's hard to get around.
Like, you'd be surprised.
Why?
They have cars.
Don't they have cars there?
I thought you could get around.
Or maybe they want you to stay at the quote-unquote not-so-five-star, five-star resort.
Right.
I don't think they have a ton of cars.
But they do have quite a few.
They're all in the 50s.
I'm sure he doesn't want to advertise how hard it is to get around for people because it has been for years and years and years.
And it's not a new thing.
I'm sure he doesn't want to advertise that.
So stupid.
Also, he's not allowed to leave the premises.
Yeah, that'll be good.
Code Pink is the other player.
Remember Code Pink?
Code Pink used to be like the anti-war troop of shrieking feminists show up and something about hands off my vagina or whatever.
And now they're in Cuba.
You were saying for a while, where'd they go?
Yeah, where'd the Code Pink?
Where have they been?
Well, they went to communist Cuba to give a standing O to the regime.
Here's a quote from the website.
Code Pink is a feminist grassroots organization working to end U.S. warfare and imperialism, support peace and human rights initiatives, and redirect resources into healthcare, education, green jobs, and other life-affirming programs.
What's funny to me is you'll note there aren't a ton of rainbow flags, a lot of free Palestine, but not a ton of rainbow flags.
Yeah, Che Guevara sent everyone who he referred to as a faggot to labor camps, saying that the work would make them men.
They're not super tolerant of that in communist Cuba, to be clear.
It's not the only communist regime that Code Pink decides to support.
On their website, they have a whole page titled, China is Not the Enemy, which could have fooled me.
The U.S. continues to manipulate the minds of U.S. citizens to support the war while funneling our tax dollars into militarizing communities in the Asia-Pacific that don't want us there.
Now do Japan.
About South Korea.
Code Pink, the co-founder, again, there with Hassan and the Irish rap group Kneecap.
So Jody Evans, married to a guy named Neville Roy Singh.
He works with the CCP to specifically spread Chinese propaganda.
Shares a Shanghai office with the CCP media company, Maku Group.
We've talked about the Maku Group.
They produce pro-China content that, of course, gets distributed across TikTok, you know, where Hassan also took part, the little red book, right?
Remember, he was, oh, wow, I'm going to cherish this forever.
And by the way, also responsible for 25% of Code Pink's donations.
So the same people saying, yeah, you know, communist Cuba is fine.
Communist Cuba is better than Trump's America.
The Islamic Republic is better than Trump's America.
Hamas, better than Trump's America.
The Communist Chinese Party, better than Trump's America.
Are you guys starting to get the picture?
You may think that one of them is, but when all of them are, you go, oh, their allegiances to Marxism.
Which also, hey, I'm just asking question, may explain some of those on the right, some of the Johnny come lately's, their sudden turn to not America first, but America and China equal.
The U.S. is not going to defend and cannot defend Taiwan.
Should not defend?
I don't know, should.
That's something.
I mean, I'm asking you to lay out what you think are coherent.
I think we've reached the limits of our power, and power has limits.
Like, that's another thing just to keep in mind.
Power is not infinite.
You can squander it.
And we're in the process of doing that.
And what about Japan and South Korea?
Oh, man, it's hard.
I don't understand exactly how that's going to go at all from an American perspective.
But like, in the end, big powers want to and get to control their regions.
We have something called the Monroe Doctrine.
This is another problem I had with Russia.
It's like Russia, of course, is going to demand influence in Ukraine.
And you could say, oh, it's a sovereign country.
They can't have any influence there.
Be real.
A big power wants to control, hopefully in a non-brutal, enlightened way, but they want some influence over their neighbors.
We can no longer be the sole author of terms, of commerce, of anything.
We have to share power.
With China.
Of course, because of their scale.
And so there's got to be a non-destructive way to do this.
Before America was a hegemon, before the U.S. dollar was a world reserve currency.
But now, what we want to do is open a dialogue where everyone is respected, where America is no longer the bully, but a willing partner in creating a new economic order that benefits everyone and not just a few.
I think that's the wisest possible advice and probably the only path that preserves civilization.
But the one country standing in the way of that is Israel.
Now, here's the thing that I don't understand.
How is it America first to open up a dialogue and bring ourselves down to the level of a communist nation in order to ensure economic prosperity for everyone?
I'm a little confused.
Why should we ensure the economic prosperity of China?
We don't need a kowtow to them.
We're the ones holding the cards.
What part of that is America first?
Also, how do you do that?
How do you ensure prosperity of the people in nations like China or Cuba or Venezuela or Iran when they're communist and they guarantee that their own people will never experience prosperity?
How do you do that?
I just don't understand how that's America first.
Here's what I view as America first.
Donald Trump's the first president ever to do anything about China.
It was a foregone conclusion that they were going to be a world superpower.
And the worst part is they were going to do that through ripping people off and underhanded tactics.
I want China, when I say this, I mean the communist Chinese government, as powerless, as feckless as possible.
I don't want to link arms with them in any way.
I was under the impression that that was America first.
And we do have a guest to come on here in a little bit.
But I do want you guys to note this is not an outlier.
Okay?
To be clear, when you talk about Cuba, China, whatever it is, but let's just stick with Cuba right now.
Every leftist celebrity supported knowingly communist, fascist, totalitarian regimes in Cuba.
All of them.
And they'll tell you now, no, no, not that communism.
And they'll move on to the next one and say, it didn't work, but it hasn't been tried right yet.
They're still, they can't help themselves.
They still have to praise the communist regime that is imprisoning, torturing, executing their own people.
But it goes, let's go through the list of people who supported knowingly communism.
Wow, they were executing people without trial under Castro's post-Chegovier Revolution.
64, Bob Dylan's girlfriend, Susan Ratolo, Francis Ford Coppola, Ted Turner, Bernie Sanders in 85, and 89, Peter Jennings, Katie Kurick, Steven Spielberg, 2002, Oliver Stone, Michael Moore, Sean Penn, now Hassan Piker, Code Pink, Kneecap.
They all praise.
Do you believe that they don't know?
Do you believe that these people just don't know that it's an oppressive communist regime?
Or do you think I have a case where I say they do know?
That's what they want for you.
But here's the thing: lost in the middle of all this.
There are actual people in Cuba dying.
There are actually thousands of Cubans who've been executed for speaking out against the government without trial.
Hey, leftists, there actually have been thousands of guys with a lisp who have been sent to labor camps to work until they die in Cuba because of the communist regime.
There are people there without power.
There are people who likely died in the hospital, which I understand probably was going to happen anyway, because unlike Michael Moore told you, their healthcare is god-awful in Cuba.
But there were people who were in a hospital that then lost its power because of kneecaps concert at the hotel that was housing unknowing propagandists.
What part of this is America first?
And I see, when you look at the board, I go, oh, okay, I get it.
Venezuela, that's choking Cuba.
I understand that.
Yeah, okay.
And both together, that's going to make it tough for China.
Oh, all right.
Right now, the regime is a little bit weakened because Russia is, they've got their hands full.
Okay, it's a good time right now.
And the Cuban people want it.
The only people who don't want it are communists and those on the right who say it's not America first.
But those are the same people who say we should link arms with China.
I don't know what's happening at this point in time.
And we're going to continue talking about this and more before I go to our guests.

So, right now, for a first-hand look at how the Cuban population feels, the bad Cubans, as Hassan Piker refers to them, about the activists going to the island, we go now to Louise, Louise, our Cuban correspondent.
