WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:08.839 Good evening everybody, and welcome to another edition of The 2 00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:12.160 Cajun Knight Live. I am your host, the Cajun Knight, 3 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.519 Jacob Mook. We have a lot of things to discuss 4 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.160 this evening, as always to all of the retinue of 5 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:18.920 the Cajun Night. If y'all have anything y'all want to 6 00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.679 contribute or throw into the comment section, we will open 7 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.600 it up as we go through. That being said, we're 8 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.280 gonna start off talking about some American things that are 9 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.439 going on here. Government shutdown, Trump and g Apparently Democrats 10 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.439 are turning on Chuck Schumer. And it's not even a 11 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:36.719 small number. It's a lot of them because they understand 12 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.960 that what's going on is actually Democrat leverage, not my words, 13 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.880 their words. We're gonna talk about it. Then we're gonna 14 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.119 take us a little trip around the globe. Venezuelan president 15 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.479 is claiming that he caught CIA operatives. I gotta say 16 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.920 the claim is a bit incredulous. We're gonna talk about 17 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.039 that in kind. Jamaica just got slammed by our hurricane 18 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.759 Category five. I think this sustained winds are over like 19 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.439 one hundred and seventy miles an hour. It is rough 20 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.760 over there right now. We're gonna talk about that. Rio 21 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.959 de jan Naro has this massive gang crack down that's 22 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.000 going on. Israel just killed over one hundred and four 23 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.519 people after the ceasefire was declared because they're claiming that 24 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.439 Hamas was reburying already discovered bones as a way to 25 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.000 say that, oh, yep, here's more hostages for you. In reality, 26 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.799 it was hostages that were already acknowledged. It's all over 27 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.519 the place. Putin he's saying that they have now a 28 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.000 nuclear powered missile, and he's like super excited about that, 29 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.799 not a nuclear bomb, a missile or rocket that is 30 00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:40.959 using nuclear power as a propulsion system. Meanwhile, America is like, cool, buddy, 31 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.519 you're hooked up, and like, uh, you caught up to 32 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.519 what we had in nineteen sixty one. Yes, that's a 33 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:48.480 thing that we had, and we shut down the program 34 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.879 because it's a really dumb idea. We're gonna talk about 35 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.680 it all. We're gonna talk about it all as always. 36 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.480 To all the people that are listening to the Cage 37 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:57.680 to Night listen, I see the analytics.

Before I get 45 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.759 into it, I'm gonna check the chat real quick. It 46 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.039 says Hasidic, right. Ah, yeah, we're gonna talk about that too, 47 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.800 for anybody that also pays attention to Cult to Conspiracy 48 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.599 Live nights every Tuesday night, we started talking about some 49 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.840 of the different types of Hasidic Jews that there are. 50 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:32.719 I'm not gonna I didn't know. I didn't know there 51 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.439 was more, but we're gonna bring that up later on 52 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.479 whenever we start getting into the international conversation. Sounds like 53 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.439 weird chassis. Oh Jesus Christ, Sam, all right, without further ado, 54 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.000 let us get straight into the conversation, straight into the articles. 55 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.759 Buckle up, everybody, it's a weird episode on this evening, 56 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:51.960 but let's get into it here. 57 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:53.400 Uh. 58 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.199 Let's start off in San Francisco. Officers from CBS News 59 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.479 officers shoot at a truck outside of Coast Guard during 60 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.520 protests again San Francisco Bay Area immigration crackdown. Yeah, I 61 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.199 don't know what it is about Antifa that like they 62 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.080 love renting a U haul and trying to use that 63 00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:14.599 like a battering ram or use it as some They're 64 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.280 not even like strapping the thing down with weapons or bombs. 65 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.840 It's not like it's a vbed like a vehicle born id. 66 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.960 It's not even that they're just they're just using these 67 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.280 rented U hauls as just weapons in and of themselves. 68 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.919 And this one did not go well at all. I 69 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.159 know everybody likes to take shots at the Coast's from 70 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.639 you know, veteran to veteran, kind of given given and 71 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.319 taking the piss, so to speak. But uh yeah, this 72 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.199 one really didn't go well for the Antifa cucks. But 73 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.680 let's get into it here. Officers open fire Thursday night 74 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.759 at a vehicle backing into a line of Coast Guard 75 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.680 and law enforcement personnel outside the US Coast Guard base 76 00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.960 in Ala madid a La meda alamito, excuse me, site 77 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.360 of a law a day long protests against what was 78 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.680 originally planned as an immigration enforcement surge into the San 79 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.479 Francisco Bay Area. A CBS Newsbay Area photographer at the 80 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.719 scene captured videos showing a U haul truck reversing towards 81 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.400 the base entrance and law enforcement firing their weapons at 82 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.560 the vehicle. Yeah, they lit up the back end of 83 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:21.680 this thing. Photographer Rick valor v lauu Men valarimn Jesus 84 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.639 said the ul had been parked outside the base for 85 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.360 the better part of the day until it inexplicably began 86 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.279 to reverse quickly toward the officers blocking off the gate. 87 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.040 He just hit the gas and sped towards them, Valherman said, 88 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.680 and that's when they opened fire about twenty to thirty rounds. 89 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.879 In a statement on social media overnight Friday Pacific time, 90 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.439 the Coast Guard said, at approximately ten pm PDT on Thursday, 91 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.000 Coast Guard security personnel standing watch on Coastguard Island observed 92 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.120 a vehicle driving erratically and attempting to back into the 93 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:57.319 Coast Guard Base Alameda. Coastguard personnel issued multiple verbal commands 94 00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.680 to stop the vehicle. The driver failed to comply, and 95 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.120 pursued needed to put the vehicle in reverse. When the 96 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.040 vehicle's actions posed a direct threat to the safety of 97 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.959 the Coast Guard and the security personnel. Law enforcement officers 98 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.000 discharged several rounds of live fire. That statement said no 99 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.800 Coastguard personnel were injured during the incident, well Shocker. The 100 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.759 Department of Homeland Security said Friday morning that the truck 101 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.279 driver was wounded in the stomach and was being hailed 102 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.920 for a mental health evaluation. And it makes sense that 103 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.240 the Department of Homeland Security would speak on this, not 104 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:32.000 the DoD because once again, Coast Guard is typically under 105 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.839 the jurisdiction of Homeland Security only during times of war. 106 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.800 They actually considered a part of the DoD. The FBI 107 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.720 San Francisco Field Office said it was the lead investigating 108 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.279 agency for the incident. At the request of the US 109 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.120 Coast Guard. The FBI responded to the scene and deployed 110 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.959 its Evidence Response Team, Crisis Management Team, and special bomb 111 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.439 technicians to assist the indie investigation. The FBI San Francisco 112 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.319 Field Office said in a statement to CBS News Bay 113 00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.759 Area two individuals were injured in the incident, both sustaining 114 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.120 non life threatening injuries. One of the individuals injured has 115 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.879 been identified as a subject in the investigation. Shocker. That 116 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.519 subject has been released from the hospital and is currently 117 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.720 in custody. Well, that's good. In a statement on Friday, 118 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.560 U Haul told CBS News Bay Area it gave the 119 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.040 FBI the customer rental contract, the customer's driver's license, and 120 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.360 a photo of the customer. The driver takes off after shooting, 121 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.160 then returns. The drivers stopped backing up when the gunfire erupted, 122 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.720 and then drove away from the police line, stopping briefly 123 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.920 before driving away and then returning to the scene shortly after. 124 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.519 Because apparently, after getting your U Haul shot up, you 125 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.240 realize that, hey, maybe if we went back, they wouldn't 126 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.639 recognize that this is the same you, aul. That's mind 127 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.600 blowing to me. But all right, the driver of the 128 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.560 U Haul came back, parked it down the street here 129 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.199 and walked out and left. Villaman said that before authorities arrived, 130 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.839 he inspected the abandoned vehicle and saw multiple bullet holes 131 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.439 but no blood in the cabin. The protesters who were 132 00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.680 still at the base largely cleared out after the shooting. 133 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.720 He said, that's all it really takes, you know, That's 134 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.399 all you really takes to disperse a crowd. Couple of 135 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.560 pop shots where no one was actually killed, But it's 136 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.160 enough to let the crowd know, like, oh oh, they're 137 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.439 like strapped up like that. Though, all right, maybe maybe 138 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.639 my life isn't worth taking a stance for illegal immigrants 139 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.519 that I actually don't know and like don't care about. 140 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.000 I don't know, but it's good things. The Coast Guard 141 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.959 base was to be a Border Patrol staging area. The 142 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.279 base was to have been the staging area for a 143 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.199 planned immigration enforcement search by Border Patrol agents in the 144 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.240 San Francisco Bay Area. President Trump later said that he 145 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.279 planned to the search in San Francisco and had been 146 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.560 called off, and on Friday, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee said 147 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.040 she confirmed that the operation had been canceled for the 148 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.120 entire Bay area. Wow, so I guess the protesters did 149 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.720 get what they were after after all. Home Protesters began 150 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:55.519 gathering outside the base entrance early Thursday morning ahead of 151 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.360 the anticipated immigration enforcement crackdown in San Francisco, with some 152 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.040 demonstrators attempting to block vehicles going through the gates. The 153 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.199 gathering turned into a day long standoff between California Highway 154 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.199 Patrol officers and protesters, who were later joined by one 155 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.759 hundred to two hundred more demonstrators who marched from a 156 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.920 rally in Oakland fruit Vale District to the base well 157 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.399 the jokes right themselves, also known as Coast Guard Island 158 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:23.480 and an artificial island in the Oakland Estuary between Oakland 159 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:28.040 and Alameda. The shoot hold on. It just jumped on 160 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.160 me for no reason here. The CHP said in a 161 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.720 press release that the shooting at the base happened once 162 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.519 the protest action had calmed down and the officers had 163 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:40.080 left the base for the evening. The other CHP officers 164 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.879 located the abandoned suspected vehicle nearby following the shooting, the 165 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:49.679 CHP said. The agency added the CHP Commissioner Sean Durry 166 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.679 Derry met the Coast Guard leadership on Friday to coordinate 167 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.360 efforts to ensure the safety of the Coastguard personnel and 168 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.919 the public exercising their First Amendment right. US officials told 169 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.600 CBS News on Wednesday that the Trump administration and plan 170 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.759 to expand its nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration to the 171 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:08.519 Bay Area, and that the Border Patrol agents would stage 172 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:12.000 at the base, located roughly fifteen miles from San Francisco. 173 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.639 DHS Department of Homeland Security is targeting the worst of 174 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:19.960 the worst criminal illegal aliens, including murders, rapists, gang members, pedophiles, 175 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.279 and terrorists in cities such as Portland, Chicago, Memphis, and 176 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.559 San Francisco. That was from the Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, 177 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.159 And it does every day. DHS law enforcement will enforce 178 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.960 the laws of our nation. Well, that was kind of retort, 179 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.240 all right. Anyway, that repetitive mister Trump announced on his 180 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.240 true social platform that the enforcement action in San Francisco 181 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.559 was canceled following a conversation with the mayor and calls 182 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:47.440 from tech leaders citing the city's progress in addressing crime. 183 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.720 Despite the announcement, protesters remained outside the entrance of the 184 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.000 base Thursday afternoon. Additional protests and rallies were held in 185 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:59.279 San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. Smoke grenades, flashbank devices deployed. 186 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.639 The protesters began to arrive at the Coastguard Island around 187 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.720 six am Thursday, blocking the entrance to the island. Shortly 188 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.639 after seven am, a CBS Newsbay Area crew spotted a 189 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.240 Coast Guard vehicle drive past the crowd and then fire 190 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:15.320 flash banks and smoke grenades to disperse it. Yeah, flash 191 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.120 banks are cool. At least two people were seen being 192 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.360 detained at the site. One demonstrator appeared to have been 193 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.919 hit by a piece of shrapnel or a projectile. A 194 00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:28.039 minister who was part of a group of interfaith leaders 195 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:32.519 taking part. Okay, why does he keep doing that? The minister, 196 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:36.559 identified as Jorge Bautista, spoke to reporters after the incident. 197 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.679 I obviously was shot with whatever the Border Patrol had, 198 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.639 said Bautista, who was a pastor at an Oakland church. 199 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.120 And I came to say we came in peace, and 200 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.279 he didn't care. There's nothing else to say. He wanted 201 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.639 to cause harm to me. Okay, mister pastor, man, if 202 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:57.440 you're blocking the entrance to a military installation, like, I 203 00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.120 don't even know what to tell you. If you play 204 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:03.279 stupid games, you will in fact win stupid prizes. But yeah, okay, 205 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.679 word up. Please rest on your title as some sort 206 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.120 of a thing, anyone. It's clear that we're here to 207 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.440 be on the side of love, Boutista added, because it 208 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.039 is our responsibility to express love and be on the 209 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.200 side of peace and to make sure no families are 210 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.720 being harassed and threatened with their lives. Again, the Coast 211 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.759 Guard had nothing to do with that. The Coast Guard 212 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.000 base and the people that are serving there, they're just 213 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.440 trying to get to work. But all right. They stopped 214 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.799 at the crowd, then got out and said they were 215 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.279 going to drive through us if we didn't move. They 216 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.600 weren't going to stop once they started, and they started 217 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:42.120 pushing through, said one Alameda resident who didn't give her name. 218 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.919 They ran over one gentleman's foot and another person got 219 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:48.480 pushed off. Okay, once again to reiterate the point that 220 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:53.120 I just said, as per my previous email, if you 221 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.720 play stupid games, you will win stupid prizes. I don't 222 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.200 know what else to tell you except hey, if the 223 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.519 guys with guns and badges get out their cars and 224 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:02.600 say if you don't move, you will be ran over, 225 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:06.759 and then they like drive forward, don't be shocked when 226 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.960 they literally told you what was gonna happen and it 227 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.279 takes place. It's mind blowing to me. Some of these 228 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.840 some people's kids, they had the right to come out 229 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.159 here and walk around, and so do I said one 230 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.039 man wearing a Maga hat who also didn't share his name. 231 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.159 We're not here to be violent, but we have If 232 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.480 we are being aggressed, what do you do remarked in 233 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:31.559 Oakland resident Kendra Ferguson, Okay, so again, this U haul 234 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.559 truck decided that they were going to try to back in. 235 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.519 I don't know what exactly they were thinking, but they 236 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.639 show enough, tried to play the game, and then got 237 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.639 lit up in the process. Let's listen to CBS News 238 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.759 talk about it. Here. President Trump says he's ending, I'm sorry, 239 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.080 this is this something else. Officers shoot at U haul 240 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.960 truck near protests outside California Coast Guard base. 241 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:54.879 There has been criticism and controversy over the tactics federal 242 00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:00.000 agents are using against people protesting immigration crackdowns. CBS News 243 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.960 some Land Security correspondent to Cole Skanga, who joins US Now, 244 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.559 spoke exclusively with the governor of Illinois and a top 245 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.200 border Patrol official about the Trump administration's efforts to deploy 246 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.399 the National Guard there and has more for us. Good morning, Nicole, 247 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:13.440 What did they tell you? 248 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.639 Good morning, Errol Will. We sat down with two leaders 249 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:23.519 with two very different perspectives on the immigration enforcement mission 250 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:27.080 here on the streets of Chicago and the suburbs. Illinois 251 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:31.480 Governor J. B. Pritsker and Chief of Patrol Gregory Bavino, 252 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.960 who told US federal agents have racked up twenty seven 253 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.559 hundred arrests so far in the larger Chicago area. Bavino 254 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.879 also told us he was ready to deploy to San Francisco, 255 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:50.399 but ultimately stood down. Overnight police opening fire on this 256 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.039 U haul truck as it backs into them outside this 257 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:57.000 Coast Guard base near Oakland. Our CBS San Francisco station 258 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.879 k pix's camera was rolling as it happened, the driver 259 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.759 then pulling forward and stopping briefly before slowly taking off. 260 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.639 According to witnesses, at least two people were struck by 261 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.320 the truck. As of now, the driver's whereabouts are unknown. 262 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.279 The base was set to be a staging ground for 263 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.679 one hundred federal agents deployed by President Trump to San 264 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:26.000 Francisco to begin immigration enforcement. Other cities have faced similar actions, 265 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:30.519 like Chicago, where Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker unveiled a new 266 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.360 accountability commission Thursday aimed at documenting what he claims our 267 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.919 civil rights violations by federal agents, whether. 268 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.600 It's the courts now or the elected officials later. 269 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.440 We've got to make sure we have a record to. 270 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:49.559 Show demonstrators and law enforcement have repeatedly faced off outside 271 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:54.279 this Immigration and Customs enforcement facility in Broadview, where CBP 272 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.320 Chief of Patrol Gregory Bavino told US agent's use of 273 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:02.039 force has been exempl There have been in the Chicago 274 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.840 area CBP agents who have opened fire. We have also 275 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.080 seen incidents of pepperballs being deployed above the waste, which 276 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:15.000 is in violation of DHS policies. Are there instances that 277 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:19.320 you feel as those CBP agents have acted outside of protocol? 278 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.519 I think they've done a fantastic job in those chaotic 279 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.720 environments that you see here at Broadview and other locations. 280 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.360 Absolutely, aiming above the waste is within policy. 281 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:34.679 It can be if someone strays into a pepper ball, 282 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.399 then that's on them. Don't protest and don't trespass. 283 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.399 Earlier this month, the Trump administration cited those clashes to 284 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:47.720 justify deploying hundreds of National Guard troops in Chicago, and 285 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:51.279 just this week a federal judge extended a temporary ban 286 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.519 preventing that deployment, likely until the Supreme Court weighs in. 287 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.159 If we have the National Guard here, they can take 288 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.399 over those protection duties of the federal facilities so that 289 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:03.639 we can be out on the streets apprehending other bad 290 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.480 people and bad things. 291 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.720 I do think Americans might be concerned about the US 292 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.919 military being in their neighborhoods. But what I'm hearing from 293 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.960 you is if the National Guard comes to Chicago, they 294 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:20.679 won't be in the streets, That's correct. We also asked 295 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.879 Chief Gregory Bovino if any federal agents had been disciplined 296 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.440 or put on leave and connection to tactics used in 297 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:32.759 the larger Chicago area, including those two incidents where federal 298 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.720 agents allegedly open fire. He told us, to his knowledge, 299 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:39.440 no one has been disciplined erld. 300 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.919 And nor will they. The U haul truck was backing 301 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:47.240 into them rapidly, so they took defensive posture, which is 302 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:53.399 their right in this case, their duty. Go ahead, Sam, 303 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:54.480 not to be. 304 00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:57.000 The country bumpkin and all. 305 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:02.039 Buts yeah, attacking federal agents and federal troops. 306 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:02.440 Correct. 307 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:03.879 I think we can all acknowledge that. 308 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:09.960 So about one hundred and fifty, one hundred six years ago, 309 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:13.359 we a bunch of Southern gentlemen did the same thing. 310 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:17.839 They were labeled as traders and domestic terrorists. Why but why, 311 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.839 It's like, why does it seem like they're trying to 312 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.400 do the exact same thing, but they're being held as 313 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:25.519 heroes when in reality. 314 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:25.599 They are not. 315 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.079 Yeah, So the Antifa group, and I don't know if 316 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.200 that's who was driving the truck. I'm sure they have 317 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.160 some sort of an affiliation, but Antifa is listed as 318 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:36.640 a domestic terrorist group the same way the Clan is. 319 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.440 So I mean, I'm good with this that being said, 320 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.160 though they are. And that's the other thing too, Just 321 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.720 like the man said, when the National Guard troops get 322 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.400 deployed to a city, they're not going and taking to 323 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.319 the streets. The exact same thing that took place in Portland, 324 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.839 where you had a siege that was being hailed by 325 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:59.440 the protesters besieging the ICE detention center. You had troops 326 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.240 come in and disperse the protesters so that the ICE 327 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:05.680 agents could go and do their job. Because what happened 328 00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:09.000 was you'd all these cops that were now being sent 329 00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:12.400 to the detention center to break up the protests, and 330 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:14.599 there was crimes going on around the city that the 331 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:18.079 cops were unable to answer because they were handling a riot. 332 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.240 So the troops come in disperse the protest, the cops 333 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.559 are able to go do cops shit. Ice agents are 334 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.519 able to ice shit. Everybody goes on with their lives. 335 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:31.640 I could see them using the like organized crimes, using 336 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.039 being a part of this site kind of say everything 337 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:36.519 up so that they could use it to be for 338 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:38.799 the part their crimes to go undetected. 339 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:40.799 But the are. 340 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.160 I love our constitition, I love my country out love 341 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.200 my fellow countrymen. But I feel like if you're swarming 342 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:53.680 a federal building trying to harm the occupants and everything 343 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.599 due to political dissistance, I feel like, if you're going 344 00:18:57.640 --> 00:18:59.880 to try to kill the federal agents, they have a 345 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:01.359 light to open fire. 346 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:03.680 Right, and I would agree with that. Listen, you have 347 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:07.240 the right to peacefully as symbol you absolutely do. You 348 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:10.359 have the right to stand on the sidewalk with signs 349 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:13.000 and scream and scream until you can scream no more 350 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:16.519 one hundred percent. The instant that you start blocking traffic, 351 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:20.519 then like you you don't get shocked whenever you get 352 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:23.640 ran over by a car. That I think that there's 353 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.160 like literally there's a whole joke or that you would 354 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:28.119 tell dumb people growing up, like you know, why don't 355 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:30.000 you go play in traffic or something like there's a 356 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.480 reason that that was said, because it's understood that you know, 357 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.160 again some people's kids. Some people's kids I don't understand, 358 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.079 and then they're gonna get mad. So hitting them with 359 00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.000 a pepper ball above the waist is acceptable? Why not? 360 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:49.079 Why not? Have you never played paintball? Yes? Getting shut out? Okay, 361 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:51.359 don't shoot them in the face. If you can help it, 362 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.440 spray them in the face. That's what OC spray is for. 363 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:56.799 And like the good things, good things bear repellent works 364 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:01.079 really well too. But pepperballs, yeah, those go above the waist. 365 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:04.119 I didn't realize that was some sort of a uh, 366 00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:07.720 you know, operational procedure telling them they couldn't do that. 367 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:08.720 That's ridiculous to me. 368 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.920 There was a guy who threw a brick at an 369 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.240 officer and two or three officers lit him up with 370 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.359 the paintball thing and what no, I lied? 371 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.480 They shot him with a with a bean bag from 372 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:21.079 a shotgun. 373 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.480 Yeah, and it was a really good direct hit to 374 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:25.160 his head. I remember that video that was in a 375 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:26.079 a calimni. 376 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:28.480 It was not It wasn't this head. They hit him 377 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:30.039 below the waist. 378 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:31.839 Oh no, the one I'm talking about, he threw it 379 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:33.680 from on top of a bridge, and then they fired 380 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.440 at him with a bean bag and smoked him in 381 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:38.039 the like in the temple. It was a really good shot. 382 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.000 I saw that one too, but I was but the 383 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.359 the one that they hit the dude in the go 384 00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.119 and I'm like, see that's right now, we're just spawn 385 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:46.519 camping at this point. 386 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.839 But again, you play stupid games, you will in fact 387 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:50.880 win super prizes. 388 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:53.680 Why don't I for the lesson lethal Why don't we 389 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:55.680 just use like frozen paintballs? 390 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:58.400 And I say that I asked somebody who has played. 391 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:02.279 I've played paintball before, so I know I'm a dumb ass, 392 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.519 but it you're only gonna get tore about four or 393 00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:06.880 five times before you want quit. 394 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.240 So yeah, I'm not a I'm about using frozen paintballs 395 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.559 because at that point you're just like humming like stones 396 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.720 at these people. But actual paintballs, I just speaking on 397 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:20.640 behalf of myself. I don't see a problem with it 398 00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.000 that is less than legal. Hell, I wouldn't even be 399 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:25.480 mad at them using sim rounds like out of an 400 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:29.400 ar platform. Those hurt like a bitch, and they do 401 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:31.359 the job, and it's very obvious that these are paint 402 00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.400 whenever they hit you. But again, the weapons and tactics 403 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.119 that our police officers use and that the ICE agents 404 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:40.640 are using in all this, they have their you know, 405 00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:44.920 operational procedures that they go through. Fine, I'm not gonna 406 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.160 get in the way of like their you know, their 407 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:50.400 roes and things like that. But yeah, if you're standing 408 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:52.440 in the middle of traffic, expect to get hit by 409 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.519 a car. If you are sieging and blockading a federal building, 410 00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:01.039 expect to get reprimanded. But again, this is all going 411 00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.519 into it. So this U haul truck decided that they 412 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.200 wanted to try to like speedily reverse into a line 413 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.880 of coastguardsmen and that didn't end well. So shout out 414 00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.759 to the Coastguard for taking a correct defensive posture. Moving 415 00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.759 on to the next article, the next talking point here, 416 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.920 Trump and g are to hold a high stakes meeting 417 00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.559 in South Korea.

President Trump and Chinese 419 00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:31.880 President Jijiping will meet in Busan, South Korea.

The meeting 423 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:43.640 is set for eleven am Local time or ten pm 424 00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:47.759 Eastern time Wednesday. Mister Trump's threat to impose an additional 425 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:51.119 one hundred percent tariff on Chinese goods starting November first 426 00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:55.079 is effectively off the table for now, Treasury Secretary Scott 427 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:59.039 the Scent said Sunday on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, 428 00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:02.279 mister Trump in the additional one hundred percent tariff on 429 00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:05.039 Chinese imports, which would bring the tariffs to Chinese goods 430 00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:07.880 to as high as one hundred and fifty five percent, 431 00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.720 in retaliation for China's increase export controls on rare earth 432 00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:16.039 minerals and magnets. China has the vast majority of the 433 00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:19.119 world supply of those raw materials critical for manufacturing and 434 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:24.039 key technology areas like semiconductors and missiles. The President on 435 00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.599 Wednesday said he hopes to walk away from the meeting 436 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.480 with the deal we're going to be.

I think it will be a good 439 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:36.119 deal for both. The world is watching, and I think 440 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:39.759 we'll have something that's very exciting for everybody. The public 441 00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.200 White House schedule allotted less than two hours for a 442 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.640 meeting with GI, although mister Trump said on a hot 443 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.599 mic during a dinner hosted by South Korean President Lee 444 00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:52.359 j Myung young, probably butchering that but I don't speak 445 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.079 the Corean that g meeting would last three or four hours. 446 00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:58.880 A board Air Force one on Wednesday, Trump said that 447 00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:02.200 he believes he'll be lowering the tariffs imposed on Chinese 448 00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:05.960 imports earlier this year due to fentanyl trafficking after his 449 00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.680 meeting with G, noting China would be working with me 450 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.799 on a compromise. Bascent told faced the Nation that he 451 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:14.200 expects that the threat of one hundred percent tariffs has 452 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:17.759 gone away and has the threat of immediate imposition of 453 00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:23.440 the Chinese initiation a war initiating a worldwide export control regime. 454 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.279 Bascent also said that he expects mister Trump and G 455 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.720 to sign a deal Thursday placing TikTok under majority US ownership, 456 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:35.799 although Chinese owned Byte Dance could still have a minority 457 00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:40.319 ownership stake for under twenty percent. We shall see. In August, 458 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:44.720 Trump signed an executive action delaying the reinstatement of higher 459 00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:47.920 tariffs on Chinese goods for another ninety days, extending the 460 00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:51.119 pause until mid November. US and Chinese officials have been 461 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.720 holding trade talks for months leading up to Thursday's Trump 462 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:57.640 G meeting.

Jijuping is expected to 465 00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:10.480 press the President to for clarity about america stance towards 466 00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:14.079 Taiwan at their meeting this week. Pompeo wrote on social 467 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:18.160 media that America should oblige and affirm our unequivocal commitment 468 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:22.079 to Taiwan's sovereignty and independence from Beijing. The last time 469 00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:24.279 Trump and g met in person was on the sidelines 470 00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:26.960 of the Group of twenty YEAH Group of twenty summit 471 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.319 in Japan in twenty nineteen, during Trump's first term in office. 472 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.000 Although the two leaders have spoken by phone, the last 473 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.559 conversation the White House disclosed between the two was on 474 00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:40.480 September nineteenth. Busan, known as an educational and cultural leader 475 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:44.720 along Korea's southeastern coast, is the second most populous city 476 00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:48.759 in South Korea, behind its capital Seoul. The G meeting 477 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:51.519 is the final agenda item on mister Trump's schedule as 478 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:55.920 of his five day Asia tour, concluding a trip primarily 479 00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.440 intended to strengthen economic ties and cement trade deals in 480 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.880 the South Pacific. That being said, I think it's never 481 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.640 a bad time to hear from our resident Taiwanese correspondent 482 00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:11.240 Donald Trump. 483 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:13.119 Don't trust China Chinaese ass ho. 484 00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:16.799 I fucking love that guy, I really do. Anyways, So 485 00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:21.599 let's get into the situation on the ground talking more 486 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:22.799 about the trade deal. 487 00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.559 It is Thursday in South Korea and President Trump is 488 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.519 meeting there with Chinese President shi Jinping, their first face 489 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.160 to face encounter of mister Trump's second term, and they 490 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:35.359 have a lot to talk about, including the US China 491 00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:39.079 trade war. Senior White House correspondent Buiju Jang is traveling 492 00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:40.079 with the President tonight. 493 00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.160 As President Trump touched down in South Korea, a military 494 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.599 band welcomed him on the red carpet. On the agenda 495 00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.319 the APEX Summit, which brought together twenty one countries throughout 496 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.359 the Asia Pacific region, and the high stakes encounter with 497 00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:01.480 Chinese President Shijingping, a critical trade deal hanging in the balance. 498 00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:05.000 Think it'll be a good deal for both and that's 499 00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:06.519 really a great result. 500 00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:10.400 A trade agreement could help China avoid the pending additional 501 00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:14.480 one hundred percent US tariff on all imports and curb 502 00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:17.880 the flow of chemicals used to make feentanyl. The US 503 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.680 wants access to China's rare earth minerals and for Beijing 504 00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:26.519 to resume purchases of soybeans from American farmers who lost 505 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.720 billions of dollars after Trump imposed tariffs on China in February. 506 00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.559 The Chinese turned to the South American market instead. 507 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:39.200 We're losing money and it's a very desperate time. 508 00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:43.400 Aaron Lehman is president of the Iowa Farmers Union, and we. 509 00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:45.920 Thought that we would be having some trade tension, but 510 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:49.559 we had no idea it would be this type of 511 00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:52.640 trade tension in this type of chaos that's happening. 512 00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:57.000 Just before Trump arrived in South Korea, North Korea announced 513 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:00.400 it test launched cruise missiles into the Yellow Sea. The 514 00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:02.000 President brushed it off. 515 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:08.400 He's been launching persons for decades, right, just another mission 516 00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:09.119 that was launched. 517 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:14.440 President Trump says he will come back sometime in the 518 00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.519 future to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong un. 519 00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.920 Trump also acknowledged that he cannot run for a third term, 520 00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.440 saying that if you read the Constitution, it's quote pretty 521 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.079 clear that he's not allowed to. He previously declined to 522 00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:29.640 rule it out. 523 00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:31.359 We do when it comes to a trade deal, or 524 00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:34.119 you heard President Trump's words there, he sounds pretty optimistic 525 00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:37.039 about it. What about the Chinese, how they feeling tonight? 526 00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:43.279 Well, Maurice, the Chinese have also signaled optimism, but they 527 00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:45.880 have been far more measured about it. They have not 528 00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:49.359 talked about any details of a potential deal or what 529 00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:52.559 concessions they might be willing to make, only saying that 530 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.079 they want to work with the US to achieve positive outcomes. 531 00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.319 It is notable, though, Maurice, that on the fentanyl piece, 532 00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:02.920 China says it has already taken many steps to curb 533 00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.880 the flow of chemicals into the US and that America 534 00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:08.720 has to take concrete steps to cooperate. 535 00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:12.519 Okay, I can just tell you now that China has not, 536 00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:18.720 in fact started to curb the movement of chemicals for fentanyl. So, 537 00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.599 once again, to hear from our Hong Kong correspondent, Donald Trump, 538 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.000 don't trust China. China is asshole. That man is a man, 539 00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:28.599 the man that met the legend to be completely honest 540 00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:28.839 with you. 541 00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:35.319 Go ahead, Sam, okay, not to contract because they talked 542 00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:38.400 about Trump on and for third term, which I know 543 00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:41.359 that it is illegal now, but does everybody forget that 544 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:44.640 FD already ran for twelve years, he was a president 545 00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:45.599 for four terms. 546 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.480 Yeah, after him. They changed the constitution to be a 547 00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:50.000 two term limit because. 548 00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:53.519 Of him, But yet they didn't make Congress a two 549 00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.880 term system when they have dinosaurs that's been in that 550 00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:58.799 beach for the last eighty years. 551 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:02.160 It's very true. It's very true, and I am about 552 00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:05.119 term limits on all political positions. I'm going to be 553 00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:05.640 honest with you. 554 00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:07.839 If you actually look at it. 555 00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:11.119 Everybody thinks all the president's the one that has the 556 00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:11.680 most power. 557 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:12.079 It isn't. 558 00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:16.400 It's Congress. It's not the executive bunch. It's the legislative bunch. 559 00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:20.079 Very true, which people, it seems. The more the oh 560 00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:22.319 do I get, the more I wouldize. People did not 561 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:25.000 pay attention in a social studies thud grade government. 562 00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:27.880 No they didn't, nor do they pay attention in high 563 00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.599 school Civics class. It's very sad how many people in 564 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:33.799 America don't understand how our government works. But these people 565 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.200 have a voice to vote on who's running said government. 566 00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.200 It's mind blowing. I'm about barriers to entry. I'm gonna 567 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:43.480 be honest with you. I am of the belief that 568 00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:45.799 there should be some sort of a test that you 569 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:48.559 have to pass before you're allowed to vote. And it 570 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:50.200 doesn't even have to be some sort of a crazy 571 00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:53.279 hard test like long like algebra or even long division, 572 00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:58.680 just like a three question test, just the very basics 573 00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:00.680 of to make sure, like the same thing of like 574 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:02.319 I am not a robot that you have to move 575 00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.279 the mouse and click the little thing on the internet. 576 00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:06.599 I'm cool with it being some sort of a really 577 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:08.960 stupid thing like that, to where at least we have 578 00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.200 to know that you have a functioning brain before you vote. 579 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.519 That's just me, Jacob. You have too much faith in 580 00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:17.119 the new generations. 581 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:20.920 Oh no, I My faith in humanity is dwindling to 582 00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:24.680 a abysmal status, and it has gone more and more 583 00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:28.519 downhill as the day is long. Honestly, it's not getting better. 584 00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:34.880 I we do have the technology to clone, as we 585 00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:39.359 all know they did Dotty the Sheep. Mmmm. I wish 586 00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:43.759 that they could go and just they clone the founding 587 00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:47.680 fathers and just keep them like as a counsel and 588 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:51.480 they become the thing because it seems like they actually 589 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:53.559 gave a fuck more about the country than any of 590 00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:55.240 the politicians do today. 591 00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:57.799 Maybe yes, maybe no. But we also got to keep 592 00:31:57.799 --> 00:31:59.799 in mind how many of those founding fathers are like 593 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:03.680 slave owners and shit, and they they probably also like 594 00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:06.400 women didn't have the right to vote or like speak. 595 00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:09.640 You know what I'm saying, It's like perhaps like where 596 00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:11.839 your head said, I like because I know the direction 597 00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:15.920 you're going with that, but like maybe that wouldn't be 598 00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:16.960 like the best course. 599 00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:19.799 I'm I don't support slavery. 600 00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:24.079 I guess I just getting shouts out on the cage 601 00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:27.119 to night too. But anyway, I hear what you're trying 602 00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:32.039 to say, and I wouldn't be mad at possibly hearing 603 00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:35.359 from their own mouths what their intent was behind the 604 00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:39.200 Constitution and especially certain amendments and like, for instance, the 605 00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:42.200 Second Amendment, I would love to make sure that it 606 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.200 shuts down the argument of the anti gun lobbyists and 607 00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:47.480 things like that. But all of that to be said, 608 00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:50.640 it's majority rule. That's how democracy works. And if the 609 00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.519 majority of people in this country were to vote that 610 00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.920 guns are evil, then like I'm not happy about it, 611 00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:56.359 but that's how it would go. At that point, I 612 00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:58.279 would move to another country, to be honest with you. 613 00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:05.119 But is retarded. Yep, we can agree on that one 614 00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:11.319 as well. Not all, not all. I want to believe, 615 00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:13.839 and maybe this is just me getting high on hopium here. 616 00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.599 I want to believe that the majority of the citizens 617 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:22.240 of this country genuinely want the same things. Right. They 618 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:25.119 all want a good education for their children, they want 619 00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:29.240 affordable healthcare, they want interest rates to be down. They 620 00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:32.240 want to live in decent houses and drive decent cars, 621 00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:34.319 and they want to be able to retire at some point. 622 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:36.400 They want to be able to worship whatever God they 623 00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:38.799 want in peace. I think that these are like the 624 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:41.920 core foundational beliefs that pretty much all citizens in this 625 00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:45.599 country by and large pretty much. There are exceptions, but 626 00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.279 by and large, I feel like most people can get 627 00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:51.519 down with that. However, they get so lost in the 628 00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:54.119 weeds on the other shit that it gets spun into 629 00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.400 whole other talking points. But speaking of we're going to 630 00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.160 be bringing up that right now as a matter of fact. So, 631 00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:05.599 Pennsylvania joins twenty four states in a lawsuit against the 632 00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:11.000 USDA over expiring snap benefits. Yes, there are multiple states 633 00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:14.800 that are actually suing Trump himself for the government shutdown. 634 00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:16.119 Let's learn about it together. 635 00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:19.960 The Shapier Administration growing joining a growing list of states 636 00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.800 that are suing the federal government to fund SNAP benefits 637 00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:26.039 before they expire. On Saturday, Fox forty three Smack clients. 638 00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:28.960 He's live in Susqueentna Township, Gauphin County. This evening where 639 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.000 Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis on news conference at the Central 640 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:33.079 PA Food Bank. 641 00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:35.360 Evan. 642 00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:39.199 Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis joined food bank leaders in urging 643 00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:42.800 the Trump administration to protect SNAP benefits for roughly two 644 00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:46.880 million Pennsylvanians. State officials called the impending SNAP cuts a 645 00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.679 man made crisis that would strain recipients and food banks. 646 00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:54.719 With SNAP benefits set to expire in a few days, 647 00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:59.079 state officials are calling on the Trump administration to take action. 648 00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.599 Were huge today because of a man made crisis. 649 00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:06.239 This week, the Shapiro Administration announced it would join twenty 650 00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:10.679 four other states ensuing the federal government over the suspension 651 00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:15.760 of SNAP benefits. The lawsuit comes after the USDA decided 652 00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.559 not to spend five billion dollars in emergency funds to 653 00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:23.840 keep the program going. Through the shutdown. Lieutenant Governor Austin 654 00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:28.159 Davis says that decision could cause two million Pennsylvanians to 655 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:32.119 lose their SNAP benefits by November first. This is one 656 00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:34.880 of the most disturbing things that I have seen as 657 00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:39.639 a public public servant and during my time in elected office. 658 00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:43.719 And you're anxious not just about feeding their own families, 659 00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:47.360 what about whether our food pantries are going to have 660 00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:48.920 enough food for everyone. 661 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:52.360 In total, the SNAP program pays roughly three hundred and 662 00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:56.920 sixty six million dollars to Pennsylvania recipients each month. State 663 00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:01.480 Treasurer Stacy Garrity is proposing using short term investment loans 664 00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:05.599 to ensure that amount gets paid to families this November. 665 00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:10.679 Our most vulnerable populations should not feel the impact of 666 00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:14.519 the lack of a state budget and a federal government shutdown. 667 00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:18.360 In a statement, Republican Congressman Dan Musser called on Senate 668 00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:22.559 Democrats to help end the government shutdown, saying, quote, if 669 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:26.159 Governor Shapiro truly cared about the one point eight million 670 00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:30.320 Pennsylvanians who rely on SNAP, he'd be urging Senate Democrats 671 00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:34.199 to pass the Clean Continuing Resolution to reopen the government 672 00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:38.880 and restore these critical benefits. As the SNAP deadline approaches, 673 00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:42.440 state officials are hoping that Congress can get a deal 674 00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.280 done to protect families in need. 675 00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:50.280 Families can't eat promises, they need substance. 676 00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:53.000 Now. 677 00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:56.800 Several state Democrats have also proposed pulling sixty two million 678 00:36:56.920 --> 00:37:00.320 dollars in interest from the state's Rainy Day fund help 679 00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:02.239 offset some of the SNAP cuts. 680 00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:05.519 I'm also gonna make a mention that dude's got a 681 00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:09.239 weird face, doesn't he That dude has a weird fast, 682 00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:12.400 Like good God, you are a news anchor, have a 683 00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:14.360 little bit of stage presence, you know what I'm saying. 684 00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:17.519 But Okay, aside from that, I'm also gonna point out 685 00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:20.760 something here, And I'm not trying to be that guy. 686 00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:24.239 I'm really not trying to be. You're telling me that 687 00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:27.599 these politicians for a photo op were able to donate 688 00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:32.119 a whopping eight bags of groceries to this food bank 689 00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:37.519 for the photo op. I'm sorry, what so not too 690 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:41.280 self plug here, but I am currently the leader of 691 00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:45.000 a Christian nonprofit organization based out of New Orleans. All Right, 692 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:48.000 we donated food to the Kinner Food Bank not too 693 00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:50.400 terribly long ago. The Kinner Food Bank has over four 694 00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:54.119 hundred families that rely on it to support themselves and 695 00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:57.880 feed their families. Okay, we and by we I mean 696 00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:04.039 a grand total of ten adults. We're able to collectively 697 00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:08.079 get together two full palettes worth of food top bottom, 698 00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:11.559 side to side, fools of food and in a grocery cart. 699 00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:13.559 And we were able to do that in the course 700 00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:16.519 of about a week. You're telling me that these politicians 701 00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:20.039 for the photoop were able to get together eight bags 702 00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:22.400 of groceries. Look behind them, the shelves of this food 703 00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:24.920 bank are empty, but for the photo wop.

But any you know, again, 706 00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:35.480 not trying to be that guy. But I'm also I'm 707 00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:37.840 really not about people that are only willing to do 708 00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:41.920 good things when there's a camera rolling anyway, Ravenly please 709 00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:42.639 chime in here. 710 00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:51.480 So random, but this pertains to it.

But 727 00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.519 then again, if we're keeping this in mind, the Satanic 728 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:49.199 Church that you're speaking of is not actually worshiping Satan. 729 00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:53.159 They're more or less like an anti religion movement Anton 730 00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:57.480 Levey style of Satanism, which is not like actually Satanism, 731 00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:03.679 it's more like, uh, super gnosticism. Yeah, but yeah, they 732 00:40:03.719 --> 00:40:06.119 are definitely they're always out there trying to do some 733 00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:09.599 big charity thing to soften the image. Go ahead, Sam, 734 00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:13.840 I see. Basically they're spicy atheists for lack of a 735 00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:17.719 better word, which okay, fine, but it does, in fact, 736 00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:19.639 in this case shine a light on how many of 737 00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:22.360 these Christian organizations are not willing to lift a finger 738 00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.559 to help people. Meanwhile, this group is that is not 739 00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:28.960 a good look at all. Same way that I am 740 00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:31.599 saying that ten adults who are not politicians, that are 741 00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:34.360 not exactly living high on the hog by any means, 742 00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:37.280 are able to put together more food stuffs for people. 743 00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:39.199 This is before the government shutdown or any of that. 744 00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:43.519 Than these quote unquote political figures are when the cameras 745 00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:47.440 are rolling. It's it's mind blowing to me. Anyway, let's 746 00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:52.159 read into this article here states sue Trump amid or 747 00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:56.599 Trump administration over billions in looming cuts to SNAP food stamps. 748 00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:59.519 Roughly forward two Americans could see their SNAP benefits run 749 00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.840 dry as earlier as November first under the current usd 750 00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:07.760 A contingency plans. Let's learn more together. A coalition of 751 00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:11.679 twenty five Democratic governors and attorney generals on Tuesday sued 752 00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:15.159 the Trump administration over its refusal to fund the Supplemental 753 00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:20.400 Nutrition Assistance Program SNAP benefits during the ongoing government shutdown, 754 00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:25.000 arguing that a suspension of the age threatens to disproportionately 755 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:28.840 harm millions of vulnerable and low income Americans. The lawsuit 756 00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:32.039 filed in Massachusetts asks a federal judge to force the 757 00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:35.039 US Department of Agriculture to release a portion of the 758 00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:39.159 nine point two billion dollars in SNAP benefits allocated for 759 00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:42.320 the month in November. The Trump administration set on Friday 760 00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.119 that it would not use the Agricultural Department's roughly five 761 00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:48.440 billion dollar contingency fund to cover the food stamp benefits 762 00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:51.679 provided by SNAP for the month of November. Instead, they said, 763 00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:54.000 the agency is planned to keep it on hand to 764 00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:57.079 respond to natural disasters, which is what it's actually supposed 765 00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:00.039 to be use for. States warned in the lawsuit to 766 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:03.679 Day that halting the SNAP payments, even in the near term, 767 00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:07.880 threatens disproportionate harm to roughly forty two million Americans that 768 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:11.559 currently receive SNAP aid beginning on November first, when the 769 00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:15.559 food assistance is slated to expire. Shutting off SNAP benefits 770 00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:18.400 will cause deterioration of public health and well being, State 771 00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:22.119 leaders said in the lawsuit, Ultimately, states will bear costs 772 00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:25.440 associated with many of these harms. They added, the loss 773 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:28.719 of SNAP benefits leads to food insecurity, hunger, and mount nutrition, 774 00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:32.320 which are associated with numerous negative health outcomes in children, 775 00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:37.239 such as poor concentration, decreased cognitive function, fatigue, depression, and 776 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:43.559 behavioral promise. Yeah, hungry kids don't make good students. That's 777 00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:45.280 crazy that they would put that in the lawsuit. I'm 778 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:48.480 pretty sure it's a understood fact. The lawsuit was filed 779 00:42:48.480 --> 00:43:04.320 by a coalition of attorney generals and governors from Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, 780 00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:08.559 New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, or Reagan, Pennsylvania, 781 00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:12.599 Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. In the near term, 782 00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:16.039 the state asks the states asked the US District Judge 783 00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:21.039 Adrina Tallwanee probably butchered that one, the Federal Judge of 784 00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:24.480 Massachusetts assigned to the case, to order the Trump administration 785 00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:28.440 to release the USDA contingency funds to help ensure there 786 00:43:28.519 --> 00:43:32.159 is not a lapse in SNAP program benefits. Beginning November First, 787 00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:36.559 Judge Tallwani will hear from both parties during an emergency 788 00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:39.280 status here on Wednesday, during which she will weigh the 789 00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:42.360 state's request for an emergency order to force the USDA 790 00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:46.280 to release a portion of its emergency funds to SNAP recipients. 791 00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:49.800 The USCA, for its part, has not yet shared details 792 00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.719 on the policy decision or decision not to funnel the 793 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:56.760 contingency funds to SNAP beneficiaries. A note on this website 794 00:43:56.760 --> 00:44:02.039 sim state simply that the well has run dry. The 795 00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:04.760 well has run dry. Okay, at this time, there will 796 00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:09.159 be no benefits issued. November first, the agency said, now, 797 00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:11.159 let's go ahead and hear a little bit. Well, we 798 00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:14.239 already heard the YouTube video about it. But this whole 799 00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:16.239 thing kind of ties into what is going on in 800 00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:20.559 DC right now. The Democrats are turning on Chuck Schumer. 801 00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.079 And it's not a one or two or even three 802 00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:27.280 Democratic leaders that are kind of saying, hey, why are 803 00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:30.800 we doing this? A lot of Democrats are turning on 804 00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:33.559 the House Minority leader. And it's not a good look 805 00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:36.960 for the Democrats. They're basically eating themselves from the inside 806 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:40.960 out and Washington DC right now, which in one sense 807 00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:44.760 makes me happy, in another sense is kind of not 808 00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:47.320 good because if they're eating each other from the inside out, 809 00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:49.960 that means that they're not going to be able to 810 00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:51.920 really vote on anything because they're not going to come 811 00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.400 to work because they still can't agree on if they 812 00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:56.320 are or not coming in for this vote. But let's 813 00:44:56.360 --> 00:45:00.719 get into it here. Democrats say the quiet part, out 814 00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:05.559 loud shut down is leverage nearly one month, then how 815 00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:08.440 far are they willing to go? Earlier this month, it 816 00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:11.079 was Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's turn in the dunk 817 00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:13.880 tank when he weighed in on the shutdown with his 818 00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:19.239 now infamous remark quote every day gets better for us. Yes, 819 00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:22.480 Chuck Schumer said that it's hard to imagine a worse comment. 820 00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:25.679 But now we don't have to. We have White House 821 00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:29.400 Minority whip Katherine Clark, who apparently slipped up by saying 822 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:33.360 the Democrats quiet strategy out loud. There's a direct quote here. 823 00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:37.639 Oh my god, the page keeps moving on me. I mean, 824 00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:40.679 shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will be, you know, 825 00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:44.000 families that are going to suffer. We take that responsibility 826 00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:47.360 very seriously. But it is one of the few leverage 827 00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:51.559 times we have, she said in a mid October interview 828 00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:56.599 with Chad Pregram of Fox News. Is Katherine Clark heartless 829 00:45:56.920 --> 00:45:59.360 or did she just have no idea of the implications 830 00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:02.199 of what she was saying? What an amazing administration for 831 00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:05.039 a leader of a party that has always claimed the 832 00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:08.159 mantle of fighting for the little guy, and none more 833 00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:10.880 so than the workers who toil in the federal vineyard. 834 00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:13.960 She seems completely comfortable with the fact that the Democrats 835 00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:17.519 self defined leverage strategy means people will have to feel 836 00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:21.039 some pain. Yes, they say, but it's all for the 837 00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:24.280 greater good, or at least for the upping the chances 838 00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:28.440 that Democrat priorities will prevail. Taking Schumer and Clark at 839 00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:31.000 their word, it's fair to ask just how much suffering 840 00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:34.159 is acceptable to Democrats in order to maintain their all 841 00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:38.639 important leverage while turning the appropriations process and regular order 842 00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:41.719 on its head. Would forty two million people losing their 843 00:46:41.760 --> 00:46:45.679 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits be a fair price to 844 00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:49.480 pay for Democrats leverage? Adamantly, this is a program with 845 00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:52.559 fraud and abuse that needs to be addressed, But there 846 00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:56.320 are also people, particularly the elderly and disabled and low 847 00:46:56.360 --> 00:46:59.159 income families and children, who depend on STAT to put 848 00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:02.280 food on the table. Senate Republicans have introduced a stop 849 00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:06.199 gap bill that Keep Snap Funded Act to ensure that 850 00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:09.679 the federal food aid program keeps operating. Now that's a 851 00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:12.440 weird turn of events. The Republicans are the ones that 852 00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:15.519 are trying to make sure that snap benefits continue to 853 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:18.679 go out, but the Democrats are refusing to let that 854 00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:22.519 go because they're using it for political leverage. And again, 855 00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:25.519 we all knew that already, but it's very interesting to 856 00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:29.039 hear that the Democrats are saying that out loud on Mike. 857 00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:32.679 But let's go here. It says, or what about military 858 00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:35.960 and federal law enforcement families ask to make yet one 859 00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:38.400 more sacrifice while their loved ones are out there putting 860 00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:41.119 their lives at risk without pay to protect the homeland? 861 00:47:41.639 --> 00:47:44.679 Is this the suffering Clark is talking about? And keep 862 00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:48.559 in mind, those are the same employees federal and police 863 00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:50.920 and all these things that are being attacked with U 864 00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:54.559 haul trucks and bricks and being sieged at their offices 865 00:47:54.599 --> 00:48:01.039 and everything by Democrats supported groups. But all right here again. 866 00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:03.880 Republicans in the Senate brought a standalone bill to the 867 00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:06.760 floor to fund paychecks for the military and essential federal 868 00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:10.639 workers like air traffic controllers, but three Democrats blocked the 869 00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:13.719 bill despite a coalition of pilots unions calling for an 870 00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:17.159 end to the shutdown. They even got the unions saying 871 00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:19.599 stop this shutdown, and the Democrats are still just like 872 00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:24.719 keeping their feet firmly planted all but three I said 873 00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:27.320 that one. Already the traveling public is, oh my god, 874 00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:31.000 this thing keeps moving. The traveling public is likely to 875 00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:34.719 face flight delays because already overworked air traffic controllers getting 876 00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:38.360 no paychecks are stretched too thin. And small businesses too, 877 00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:41.639 is on the receiving end of Democrats leverage strategy. How 878 00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:44.719 about the estimated three hundred and twenty small businessmen and 879 00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:47.760 women who are waiting for what the snap benefits or 880 00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:51.000 I'm sorry The Small Business Administration says are one hundred 881 00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:54.880 and seventy million dollars in SBA back commercial loans, normally 882 00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:59.760 accessed every business day. SBA says that translates to two 883 00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:02.519 point two five billion dollars, which has been blocked from 884 00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:06.039 forty eight hundred small businesses so far over the course 885 00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:11.960 of the shutdown. SBA administrator Kelly Loefler Laffler don't know 886 00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:14.840 wrote in a statement last week. With the SBA loans 887 00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:18.400 program shuttered, thousands of small businesses are now unable to 888 00:49:18.519 --> 00:49:21.400 access the vital funding they need to survive, let alone thrive. 889 00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:25.079 And we'll soon begin cutting hours and benefits, laying off workers, 890 00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:28.639 and contemplating closing up shop for good. If this leverage 891 00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:30.960 strategy is working. It's hard to see where or how 892 00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:34.159 to paraphrase my column from last week, which was featured 893 00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:38.599 John Stewart calling Schumer a human flat tire. I like that. 894 00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:41.119 I may not like everything that John Stewart's ever said, 895 00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:43.519 but man, I gotta say when he's on some shit, 896 00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:46.800 it's awesome. As a Democrat. When you lose the American 897 00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:51.360 Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal union representing more 898 00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:54.920 than eight hundred thousand workers, you're in trouble, maybe big trouble. 899 00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:59.960 On Monday, afg's national president, Everett Kelly's drop the hammer 900 00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:04.719 on the leverage strategy. Both political parties have made their point, 901 00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:07.440 and still there is no end in sight. Today I'm 902 00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.960 making mine. It's time to pass a clean continuing resolution 903 00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:14.440 and in this shutdown today. He went on further to 904 00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:18.800 define what Congress should do reopen the government immediately under 905 00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:23.000 a clean continuing resolution that allows continued debate on larger issues. 906 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.960 He wrote, none of these steps favor one political side 907 00:50:26.159 --> 00:50:29.599 or over another. They favored the American people. Who expect 908 00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:34.159 stability from their government and responsibility from their leaders. Yeah, 909 00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:36.440 I'm gonna just speak on behalf of myself. I don't 910 00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:41.960 actually expect that from our political leaders. Responsibility, Like we're 911 00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:45.199 talking about our elected officials actually taking responsibility for the 912 00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:49.079 things that take place at their place of business. I 913 00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:51.679 don't think I've ever seen that in my lifetime. I 914 00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:54.440 don't expect that, actually, But I you know, Okay, at 915 00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:56.840 least he's keeping up the facade that that's what's needed. 916 00:50:57.760 --> 00:51:01.119 He continued, as strong America requires a funk government, one 917 00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:04.039 that pays its bills, honors its commitments, and treats its 918 00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:07.719 workforce with respect by paying them on time. I mean, 919 00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:10.920 like halfwrit ain't bad. But despite losing the support of 920 00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:12.880 one of the most powerful unions in the country, the 921 00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:16.239 Democratic leadership seems to be sticking with their leverage strategy, 922 00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:20.159 voting Tuesday against the clean cr for the thirteenth time. 923 00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:26.320 In response to the AFGE statement, Democratic Senate Whip Dick Durbin. God, 924 00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:32.719 what an unfortunate name. Whip Dick Durbin. I'm dude's a 925 00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:36.519 Durbin said, I'm not seeing any change in position at 926 00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:40.000 this time. Losing labor units. Particularly this one is a 927 00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:43.880 significant shift that Democrats ignore at their peril. But obviously, 928 00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:46.639 at this point, Democrats believe that their leverage strategy will 929 00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:49.800 produce a partisan win and that the problems of suffering 930 00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:53.800 families can be overcome with democratic messaging. Poles aren't showing 931 00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:56.840 the strategy as working for them. Yeah, I'm sorry, Uh, 932 00:51:56.920 --> 00:51:58.880 you saying a lot of things on the mic that 933 00:51:58.920 --> 00:52:01.400 you think are important is not going to put food 934 00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:04.960 on the tables of your constituents. I know that's a 935 00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:08.719 crazy concept for the politicians, but man, yeah, the Democrat 936 00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:11.800 leverage strategy is not going to play well in their favor. 937 00:52:12.119 --> 00:52:16.039 And I'm also keeping that in mind. I keep seeing 938 00:52:16.079 --> 00:52:21.559 these things, these clips, these interviews where Gavin Newsome and 939 00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:23.159 we all know that he's gonna make a run for 940 00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:27.280 president eventually, he is convinced to the point of arrogance 941 00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:29.519 that he is like a shoe in to win the 942 00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:33.119 next presidential election, never mind the fact that his state 943 00:52:33.239 --> 00:52:37.079 is the laughing stock of the country because of name 944 00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:39.280 the reason. Honestly, you can bring up the fires, you 945 00:52:39.320 --> 00:52:41.440 could bring up the ice things. You can look at 946 00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:45.679 the civil unrest, the riots, the deficit, all of the 947 00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:49.920 things he is, like not even concerned about this election cycle. 948 00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:52.719 He just knows that he's gonna be the next president. 949 00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:56.320 And it's like, and you and your people are the 950 00:52:56.360 --> 00:52:59.320 ones that are using this leverage strategy to screw over 951 00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:02.079 the people that put you in the position you're in. 952 00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:05.480 But all right, that's it's both strategy, Cotton. Let's see 953 00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:07.400 if it works out for him. So where do things 954 00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:09.679 go from here? The country is just days away from 955 00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:13.599 disaster as November one is likely to see the crisis worsen, 956 00:53:13.679 --> 00:53:16.679 with more people losing paychecks and crucial support while health 957 00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:20.320 and safety programs go unfunded. Republicans want a clean CR 958 00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:22.679 pass to open the government and propose to then work 959 00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:26.440 through spending issues through regular order. Democrats want their priorities 960 00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:28.840 tied to the CR in a my way or the 961 00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:32.679 highway gambit. A risky strategy, to say the least. Once again, 962 00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:35.199 see if it works out for him, Gotdon. Is the 963 00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:38.239 Democrats leverage strategy smart politics or is it a callous 964 00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:40.880 nod to their progressive wing calling for a fight after 965 00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:44.920 losing last year's elections. Voters are going to answer that question. Yeah, 966 00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:47.079 I have to say I agree with this, with this 967 00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:50.840 article wholeheartedly. This is rolecall dot com by the way, 968 00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:55.079 all right, moving on to the next order of business, 969 00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:57.960 We're going to take a step away from American politics 970 00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:01.480 and start looking at the global commversation. This is from 971 00:54:01.519 --> 00:54:06.079 CNN World. Hurricane Melissa devastates Jamaica, and they have pictures 972 00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:09.320 to describe the damage. Here. Hurricane Melissa left a trail 973 00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:11.559 of destruction as it moved across Jamaica, seen for the 974 00:54:11.559 --> 00:54:15.000 first time from space in new satellite images obtained from 975 00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:18.480 Van Torp. The storm made landfall on Jamaica on Tuesday 976 00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:21.639 as a monstrous Category five hurricane, before moving on to 977 00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:25.039 Cuba on Wednesday and later the Bahamas. If I'm not mistaken, 978 00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:27.000 then they might cover it on this article. By the 979 00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:29.280 time it hit Cuba, it was like a Category two, 980 00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:32.119 which is still that's a bad storm, don't get me wrong, 981 00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:36.000 but not one hundred and seventy mile per hour winds 982 00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:39.840 or at least exceeding that. That is that's that's a 983 00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:43.480 bit of a that's a doozy. Let's move on here. 984 00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:46.480 It says the aerial images show widespread flooding and extensive 985 00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:49.239 damage in towns along jamaica southwest coast. In the parish 986 00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:51.880 of Saint Elizabeth and on the opposite side of the 987 00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:55.360 islet in Montego Bay, the capital of Saint James Perish. 988 00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:58.440 The storm first made landfall on jamaica southwest coast, near 989 00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:01.639 the town a Black River scene in part here, So 990 00:55:02.119 --> 00:55:04.880 this would be before the storm hit on the left, 991 00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:08.719 and this is after on the right. I mean, it 992 00:55:08.760 --> 00:55:11.039 looks like a tornado just tore this place apart, but 993 00:55:11.079 --> 00:55:15.039 I mean it's even worse. Damages to homes, businesses, and 994 00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:18.199 community centers in Black River is extensive, even seen in 995 00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:21.760 this limited scope. The satellite photo taken after the storm 996 00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:23.840 shows the roof of one of the largest markets in 997 00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:27.679 the neighborhood ripped cleanly off its foundation. Coastal communities were 998 00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:30.239 hit the hardest by the storm devastating winds, with some 999 00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:33.400 remote fishing villages nearly flattened by the hurricane. In the 1000 00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:35.840 town of White House, less than ten miles northwest of 1001 00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:38.559 Black River, small boats were washed ashore in a town 1002 00:55:38.599 --> 00:55:41.480 where the economy is reliant on its closeness to the 1003 00:55:41.480 --> 00:55:45.719 Caribbean Sea. As the storm progressed north, it drenched rural 1004 00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:49.880 farm lands across South Elizabeth Parish and a southwestern region 1005 00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:54.280 that has become Jamaica's bread basket. Footage captured on the 1006 00:55:54.280 --> 00:55:57.079 ground showed just how quickly the low lying farms were 1007 00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:03.960 submerged by rainwater. WHOA, yeah, that's insane. An image captured 1008 00:56:04.039 --> 00:56:06.800 less than twenty four hours after the floodwaters rushed in 1009 00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:11.599 shows inundated farmlands and vegetation stripped from large swaths of 1010 00:56:11.719 --> 00:56:15.480 agricultural lamb. On the opposite coast, Hurricane Melyssa swept through 1011 00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:18.920 Montego Bay and Jamaica's north This satellite image, captured in 1012 00:56:18.920 --> 00:56:21.599 its aftermass, shows extensive flooding through the city and large 1013 00:56:21.599 --> 00:56:25.920 pools of water around storage facilities in the city's main port. Again, 1014 00:56:26.519 --> 00:56:28.800 this is the before and this is the after. It 1015 00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:31.800 is I mean, that's a complete loss. This place looks 1016 00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:35.800 like a war zone. Like it looks like Gaza right now. 1017 00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:39.320 That is insane. As the storm moved out to see 1018 00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:42.519 it pulled debris and muddy water through the barnett and 1019 00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:45.199 pie rivers seen at the center of the frame. The 1020 00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:48.840 debris appears as large as as large clouds of dirty 1021 00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:52.960 water seen beyond the shoals of Montego Bay. So thoughts 1022 00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:55.480 and prayers go out to everybody in Jamaica. I know 1023 00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:58.079 there's not many people in Jamaica listening to this podcast, 1024 00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:01.840 and I mean, you know all the things, you know, 1025 00:57:01.960 --> 00:57:04.920 as this has happened. If you do find a charitable 1026 00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:07.320 organization that you can tell that the money is going 1027 00:57:07.320 --> 00:57:10.000 to the affected area, that's going to help Jamaica, I 1028 00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:13.840 highly recommend you do, so, you know, give generously as 1029 00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:17.320 you can, especially as we are getting into the holiday season. 1030 00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:19.440 But anyway, all right, just want to bring up the 1031 00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:23.920 hurricane to hit Jamaica. It was insanity. Now as we 1032 00:57:23.960 --> 00:57:27.440 are sticking towards the Caribbean Sea, let's go a little 1033 00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:33.039 further south to Venezuela. Oh sweet dear Venezuela. Merduro is 1034 00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:35.960 making some wild claims. So we talked about this. I'm 1035 00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:38.000 not sure if it was last week or the week before. 1036 00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:42.840 Morduro had claimed that he foiled a false flag attempt 1037 00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:48.320 to attack the US embassy in Venezuela. And you're welcome, America. 1038 00:57:48.440 --> 00:57:51.559 I stopped the bad guys from attacking your embassy. You know, 1039 00:57:51.639 --> 00:57:53.880 I'm here to help you. I don't know why you're 1040 00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:56.719 coming at me in such ways. And that was a 1041 00:57:56.800 --> 00:57:59.599 narrative that was ran and if you look at the 1042 00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:02.880 store and the narrative that he tried to push in 1043 00:58:02.920 --> 00:58:06.400 that regard it was that's just simply not the case. 1044 00:58:06.519 --> 00:58:09.000 There was never a false flag attack that was staged. 1045 00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:13.639 It was all ploy So now Venezuela claims that it 1046 00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:18.360 has captured a CIA group and accuses the United States 1047 00:58:18.400 --> 00:58:23.400 of plotting a false flag attack. Oh, here we go. 1048 00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:28.440 You know, I'm not even gonna jump to the conclusion yet. 1049 00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:31.679 Let's hear from old Maduro and then you be the 1050 00:58:31.679 --> 00:58:33.719 one to judge if you think that this is accurate 1051 00:58:33.840 --> 00:58:36.800 or if this is a complete fabrication and a lie. 1052 00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:40.599 Nicholas Mudureau regime said Sunday Venezuela has captured a group 1053 00:58:40.639 --> 00:58:43.800 of alleged mercenaries with ties to the US Central Intelligence 1054 00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:47.960 Agency and accused Washington and Trinidad and Tobago of coordinating 1055 00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:52.679 military exercises intended to provoke an armed confrontation in the Caribbean. 1056 00:58:53.159 --> 00:58:56.440 In a statement released by Vice President Delsi Rodriguez, the 1057 00:58:56.599 --> 00:59:00.360 Socialist government said the arrest revealed what it described as 1058 00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:04.440 a false flag operation planned from waters bordering Trinidad and 1059 00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:09.400 Tobago or from Trinidadian or Venezuelan territory to generate a 1060 00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:15.079 full scale military confrontation against Venezuela. The regime's announcement comes 1061 00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:17.360 amid the fast growing build up of US forces in 1062 00:59:17.400 --> 00:59:21.039 the Caribbean launched by President Trump to combat drug cartels. 1063 00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:24.440 The administration has signaled that it might soon authorize ground 1064 00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:27.840 incursions into Venezuela to target the so called Cartel de 1065 00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:32.400 Lo Souls, a narco trafficking organization the US claims is 1066 00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:36.840 led by Maduau himself. We talked about this before. Trinde 1067 00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:41.880 Arahwa also claims that they're working for Maduro, the Cartel 1068 00:59:41.960 --> 00:59:44.039 of the Sun, which is what that is, de la Souls. 1069 00:59:44.840 --> 00:59:49.559 They also claim that Maduro is the absolute point, like 1070 00:59:49.840 --> 00:59:53.199 the head of their organization. The cartel answers to him. 1071 00:59:53.199 --> 00:59:55.519 They don't make a move unless he says so. That's 1072 00:59:56.039 --> 00:59:59.639 understood by the interrogation. Once these people have been arrested 1073 00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:04.039 on soil. So again, the two biggest cartels that are 1074 01:00:04.039 --> 01:00:07.559 coming out of Venezuela all identify Maduro as their top dog. 1075 01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:10.199 Take that with a grain of salt. Let that marinate 1076 01:00:10.239 --> 01:00:11.480 as long as you need. Let me know what you 1077 01:00:11.480 --> 01:00:15.000 think about it. But anyway, moving on, the Venezuelan government 1078 01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:18.079 did not release any evidence or details about the alleged arrest, 1079 01:00:18.440 --> 01:00:21.239 such as the number of suspects, their nationalities, or when 1080 01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:24.880 and where they were detained. Caracas also linked the alleged 1081 01:00:24.920 --> 01:00:27.400 plot to military drills that claimed are being carried out 1082 01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:31.159 this week by Trinidad and Tobago under the coordination, financing 1083 01:00:31.239 --> 01:00:35.199 and control of US Southern Command, calling them a hostile 1084 01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:38.079 provocation and a grave threat to the peace of the Caribbean. 1085 01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:41.280 So now we've got the accusations against Trinidad and Tobago. 1086 01:00:42.159 --> 01:00:46.559 In the statement, accused Trinidad and Tobago's Prime Minister Kamala 1087 01:00:46.599 --> 01:00:52.440 Persad based Bessessor Jesus I don't speak the language of 1088 01:00:52.519 --> 01:00:56.599 having renounced the sovereignty of her country to act as 1089 01:00:56.599 --> 01:01:00.880 a military colony subordinate to the United States dates hegemony 1090 01:01:01.000 --> 01:01:04.760 interests or hegemonic interests. By aligning herself with the Washington's 1091 01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:10.719 militaristic agenda, Persad Bessiser Possessor not only seeks to attack 1092 01:01:10.800 --> 01:01:14.039 Venezuela and break our historical bonds of brotherhood, but also 1093 01:01:14.199 --> 01:01:19.559 violates the United Nations Charter, the Seleak Declaration of Latin America, 1094 01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:22.239 and the Caribbean as a zone of peace and the 1095 01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:26.960 principles of Caracom, and the statement read the Manduro government 1096 01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:29.800 said the alleged military maneuvers are part of an effort 1097 01:01:29.800 --> 01:01:32.639 to turn the Caribbean into a space for lethal violence 1098 01:01:32.679 --> 01:01:37.320 and US imperial domination. The Miami Herald could not independently 1099 01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:39.719 confirm the arrest of any of the groups or the 1100 01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:44.079 existence of coordinated operations involved in the CIA or the 1101 01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:47.719 Dooral based US Southern Command, which oversees military operations in 1102 01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:51.920 Latin America. It is in its statement. The Caracas regime 1103 01:01:51.960 --> 01:01:55.079 compared the supposed plan to historical events such as the 1104 01:01:55.239 --> 01:02:00.400 USS main explosion in Cuba in eighteen ninety eight, one 1105 01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:02.960 of the causes for the Spanish American War, and the 1106 01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:06.320 Gulf of Tonkin incident near Vietnam in nineteen sixty four, 1107 01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:10.480 both of which preceded major US military interventions. The government 1108 01:02:10.559 --> 01:02:13.880 said the alleged provocation follows the same pattern and accused 1109 01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:17.559 Washington of seeking a pretext for war in the region. Okay, 1110 01:02:18.480 --> 01:02:21.360 all right, okay, let's go ahead and have that talk 1111 01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:25.000 very quick. I'm not saying the false flag events have 1112 01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:27.559 not taken place, and that the US has used those 1113 01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:31.039 to spin a narrative that gets the American people on 1114 01:02:31.119 --> 01:02:35.719 board for war. This absolutely has happened. For sure, No 1115 01:02:35.760 --> 01:02:38.840 one wants to go to war with Venezuela. Like, yeah, 1116 01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:41.320 they have oil, no doubt, and the people are living 1117 01:02:41.360 --> 01:02:44.239 under a socialist regime and like they need some freedom 1118 01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:47.440 for sure. But you could look at a lot of 1119 01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:49.920 posts that are coming out of Venezuela. The people do 1120 01:02:50.079 --> 01:02:53.159 not like Maduro. I don't care what the polls say. 1121 01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:55.519 They can say that he has a ninety nine percent 1122 01:02:56.079 --> 01:02:59.480 thumbs up rating by his people. That's simply not true. 1123 01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:02.400 Most of the people that are living in Venezuela do 1124 01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:06.519 not like starving, which is pretty endemic of every socialist 1125 01:03:06.639 --> 01:03:12.840 nation ever period. Ever. But that being said, the CIA 1126 01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:16.159 did just get permission to go into Venezuela a couple 1127 01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:19.400 of weeks ago by Trump for what purpose. Who knows. 1128 01:03:19.599 --> 01:03:21.960 The man has a fifty million dollar price on his head, 1129 01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:23.559 so who knows. Maybe they're going to go in there 1130 01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:25.800 and assassinate him, do a little regime change, throw a 1131 01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:29.480 coup something like that. That's fine. None of that has 1132 01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:32.559 anything to do with a false flag event. And the 1133 01:03:32.639 --> 01:03:35.360 other issue that I'm having with this is that they 1134 01:03:35.400 --> 01:03:40.000 have not provided a single shred of evidence to suggest 1135 01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:42.519 that they are telling the truth on this. If they 1136 01:03:42.559 --> 01:03:46.079 would have captured CIA agents, we would have videos, we 1137 01:03:46.159 --> 01:03:50.320 would have people dragging bodies through the streets. There would 1138 01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:53.719 be an international incident going on right now that would 1139 01:03:53.760 --> 01:03:56.440 be making world news with pictures and videos of these 1140 01:03:56.519 --> 01:04:01.440 dudes detained or being interrogated or anything like this. They 1141 01:04:01.480 --> 01:04:07.440 have provided nothing. Their evidence is trust me, Bro's that's 1142 01:04:07.480 --> 01:04:11.559 what's happening right now. So again, you make your own assumptions, 1143 01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:13.639 but let's go on here, it says. The statement also 1144 01:04:13.679 --> 01:04:17.400 accused Trandad and Tobago's government of human rights violations, alleging 1145 01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:21.599 that innocent fishermen had been victims of extra judicial executions 1146 01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:26.280 in the Caribbean Sea. That coming from a cartel narco state, 1147 01:04:27.679 --> 01:04:31.440 that's fascinating. Maduro warned that Venezuela does not accept threats 1148 01:04:31.480 --> 01:04:34.760 and said its armed forces would remain alert and mobilized 1149 01:04:34.840 --> 01:04:39.239 in perfect civil military police unity. In response, SHO, okay, 1150 01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:45.159 our republic air of Bolivar and Chavez. That's I don't 1151 01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:47.840 know why you would say that out loud. Why would 1152 01:04:47.880 --> 01:04:51.800 you be proud to be the heir of Bolivar and Chavez, 1153 01:04:52.719 --> 01:04:57.719 all right, will always defend its sovereignty, its territorial integrity, 1154 01:04:58.039 --> 01:05:00.280 and its right to live in peace against four weren't 1155 01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:05.760 enemies and their vassals, statement concluded, their vassals and your 1156 01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:07.880 boys looking back into the Middle Ages over here you're 1157 01:05:07.880 --> 01:05:11.400 talking about calling calling the old bannerman to the cause, bro, 1158 01:05:11.519 --> 01:05:14.559 look at them damn uh. Anyway, before I read this 1159 01:05:14.599 --> 01:05:19.960 next section, Sam, your hands raised, good. 1160 01:05:18.440 --> 01:05:23.239 Yes, talking about the false flags golf of talking was 1161 01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:26.400 one about ships that got this got bombed, coutt or 1162 01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:31.000 allegedly allegedly Okay, you know what else was. 1163 01:05:30.960 --> 01:05:33.960 A quote unquote false flag but it actually happened. 1164 01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:37.079 Well they say it was a false flag of whatever 1165 01:05:37.199 --> 01:05:43.960 HB technicality. Uh the Louit Titania for one, because we actually, 1166 01:05:44.199 --> 01:05:48.400 uh gentleman said any ship was abouted target the uh 1167 01:05:49.280 --> 01:05:53.519 U boats, underwater boats, the subs uh they which they 1168 01:05:53.599 --> 01:05:56.559 said they was, well, yes, it was American serviceman on 1169 01:05:56.719 --> 01:05:57.480 luet Titania. 1170 01:05:57.800 --> 01:06:01.840 It was it was a civilian uh ship, but it 1171 01:06:02.039 --> 01:06:08.199 was it was carrying UH rounds and artillery rounds, sam 1172 01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:11.519 munition and rifles and everything under it and that and 1173 01:06:11.559 --> 01:06:16.840 when uh the the U boat hit it with the 1174 01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:18.079 torpedo and everything. 1175 01:06:18.320 --> 01:06:23.159 That's why it's exploded because it hit the damo and everything. Yeah, 1176 01:06:23.320 --> 01:06:25.039 of course they just found out. 1177 01:06:25.519 --> 01:06:29.639 But wasn't there also something about the USS Liberty. 1178 01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:34.519 The main, the main if I'm not mistaken, the liberty. 1179 01:06:34.719 --> 01:06:39.559 Wasn't that that was for the Barbary pirates? 1180 01:06:40.199 --> 01:06:40.480 Yeah? 1181 01:06:40.679 --> 01:06:43.760 I was getting them mixed up, I was. But wasn't 1182 01:06:43.760 --> 01:06:46.159 that one like over in the Middle East or somewhere 1183 01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:46.679 around there. 1184 01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:50.000 Yeah, So the USS Celeberty ran aground as a matter 1185 01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:53.159 of fact, and when the servicemen you know, were looking 1186 01:06:53.199 --> 01:06:57.679 for aid, they were actually beheaded by the Mamelukes. And 1187 01:06:57.760 --> 01:06:58.239 the UH. 1188 01:06:59.119 --> 01:06:59.760 Got the name Luke. 1189 01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:02.559 So that is why the Marine Corps officers carry the 1190 01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:03.280 man Luke sword. 1191 01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:07.280 That's correct, but it's not the living And this was 1192 01:07:07.360 --> 01:07:09.880 like after World War two is the one I'm talking about. 1193 01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:11.119 I just can't think about the net. 1194 01:07:11.119 --> 01:07:11.440 I can't. 1195 01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:14.480 I don't remember the ship's name. But it's after World 1196 01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:14.960 War two? 1197 01:07:15.239 --> 01:07:19.159 Or am I thinking of the Constitution? I don't know. 1198 01:07:19.440 --> 01:07:21.840 There's been there's been some false flags that have taken place, 1199 01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:26.320 and there's been some provocation for military movements to take place, 1200 01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:29.760 like absolutely with that. This is not one of them. 1201 01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.239 Even if the CIA was in Venezuela right now, which 1202 01:07:33.280 --> 01:07:35.280 they very well, maybe Trump gave him a green light. 1203 01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:37.599 I don't know to what level and to what extent 1204 01:07:37.679 --> 01:07:40.519 that they are operating in Venezuela right now, But to 1205 01:07:40.679 --> 01:07:43.199 say that Maduro caught them in the midst of trying 1206 01:07:43.239 --> 01:07:45.800 to start a false flag event, to start a large 1207 01:07:45.840 --> 01:07:50.679 scale invasion of Venezuela, I don't think so. I really 1208 01:07:50.719 --> 01:07:53.480 don't think so. So there is a I'm trying to 1209 01:07:53.519 --> 01:07:57.440 remember how it's worded. It's a Rule ten movement and 1210 01:07:57.559 --> 01:08:01.800 a Rule fifty movement. Okay, so here's what the difference is. 1211 01:08:02.599 --> 01:08:07.559 A Rule ten order from the President means like the 1212 01:08:07.599 --> 01:08:11.360 main force of the United States Military is mobilized against 1213 01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:14.239 a force, a target, a whatever the case would be. 1214 01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:20.520 A Rule fifty movement is only specifically Tier one units, 1215 01:08:20.600 --> 01:08:24.600 Delta Green Berets Navy seals any of the SOCOM groups, 1216 01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:29.680 and they would be in co unison, for lack of 1217 01:08:29.720 --> 01:08:32.920 better words, with certain three letter agencies for these types 1218 01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:37.039 of operations. This is a Rule fifty movement that is 1219 01:08:37.039 --> 01:08:40.880 taking place in Venezuela right now. Nothing at all has 1220 01:08:40.920 --> 01:08:43.199 been said or done to make the moves towards a 1221 01:08:43.319 --> 01:08:46.159 Rule ten situation, So I think that we're all good 1222 01:08:46.199 --> 01:08:48.640 on that front. But again, Marduro is trying to do 1223 01:08:48.720 --> 01:08:51.399 everything he can to play the victim on this and say, see, 1224 01:08:51.560 --> 01:08:53.399 America is going out of their way to try to 1225 01:08:53.479 --> 01:08:57.119 mess with us, and we have the right to our sovereignty. Remember, 1226 01:08:57.600 --> 01:09:01.279 it's simply him just beating his chest to make noise 1227 01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:03.960 for the sake of making noise. Go ahead. 1228 01:09:05.239 --> 01:09:08.039 Yeah, sorry, I was corrected. It was the USS celebrity 1229 01:09:08.079 --> 01:09:11.079 and it was in nineteen sixty seven on the Six 1230 01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:11.680 Day War. 1231 01:09:12.720 --> 01:09:14.800 I looked it up real quick, but. 1232 01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:21.159 Done the attack it was. They say it was a 1233 01:09:21.159 --> 01:09:29.680 a thing of miss identity, mistaken identity, but it Yeah, 1234 01:09:29.720 --> 01:09:32.560 it killed thirty four crew members and wounded at one 1235 01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:33.800 hundred and seventy one. 1236 01:09:34.359 --> 01:09:37.039 Yeah, boy, in America did nothing in retaliation. 1237 01:09:38.439 --> 01:09:42.560 Israel I apologize and said it was a mistaken identity. 1238 01:09:43.000 --> 01:09:48.680 And but you gotta understand blue on blue happens a lot, agreed, especially. 1239 01:09:48.720 --> 01:09:51.199 But also that might be the only time in history 1240 01:09:51.199 --> 01:09:53.920 that another nation has touched one of America's boats and 1241 01:09:53.960 --> 01:09:57.960 not faced the wrath of God. That is, that is 1242 01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:00.560 something that should be at least acknowledged. 1243 01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:02.880 Yes, but they have faced the wrath of God quite 1244 01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:03.720 enough times. 1245 01:10:04.079 --> 01:10:05.239 Oh no, No, they were in the middle of a 1246 01:10:05.239 --> 01:10:07.119 six day war where they were getting attacked on all 1247 01:10:07.159 --> 01:10:09.600 sides at the exact same time. Like, I'm not denying that. 1248 01:10:09.640 --> 01:10:11.640 All I'm saying is that they did, in fact break 1249 01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:15.279 one of the eleven commandments and they actually did not 1250 01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:18.359 get any kind of retaliation against them, which is very interesting. 1251 01:10:19.159 --> 01:10:21.720 Could that have been the Gog and Magog War, because 1252 01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:25.079 since they were attacked on all seven sides. 1253 01:10:25.159 --> 01:10:28.720 So some believe this, some believe this. I am not 1254 01:10:28.840 --> 01:10:32.880 one of them, specifically, because the tribes that are listed 1255 01:10:32.920 --> 01:10:35.279 that were supposed to attack Israel for the Gog and 1256 01:10:35.359 --> 01:10:38.520 Magog War, some of them were not present. For instance, 1257 01:10:38.960 --> 01:10:43.239 Ethiopia did not attack them, nor did Russia, nor did Turkey. 1258 01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:49.760 So right, there's there's a list of tribes that will 1259 01:10:49.800 --> 01:10:53.560 attack them all at the same time, and a few 1260 01:10:53.600 --> 01:10:57.000 of these key players as far as the prophecy is concerned, 1261 01:10:57.439 --> 01:11:00.319 were not present in that conflict. So they there are 1262 01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:02.960 those that will argue against that and say that, yes, 1263 01:11:03.039 --> 01:11:06.840 that absolutely was the Goga Magog War, But that also 1264 01:11:06.880 --> 01:11:09.840 would mean that a third of the advancing army was 1265 01:11:09.880 --> 01:11:12.760 all like killed at the exact same time. That didn't happen. 1266 01:11:13.199 --> 01:11:16.640 They weren't buried in the valley that would be renamed 1267 01:11:16.680 --> 01:11:19.359 the Valley of Magog And there's a whole lot of 1268 01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:21.880 these things that would have to come through to fruition 1269 01:11:22.079 --> 01:11:25.279 for that to be accurate. Some scholars argue, yes, I 1270 01:11:25.319 --> 01:11:26.439 am of the opinion no. 1271 01:11:27.880 --> 01:11:30.159 The reason why I asked is because that they were 1272 01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:34.079 attacked on all sides. But I also feel like, yeah, 1273 01:11:34.119 --> 01:11:37.920 we couldn't give them the old, the old Japanese treatment, 1274 01:11:38.119 --> 01:11:40.560 because that's looked found that that's found upon. 1275 01:11:40.640 --> 01:11:43.079 Nowadays, you can't take you can't use flame throwers. 1276 01:11:43.640 --> 01:11:48.239 Yeah, no, And that's I'm not saying that we you know. 1277 01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:51.119 All I'm saying is that it's very interesting that they 1278 01:11:51.119 --> 01:11:55.159 are the only country in American history to touch one 1279 01:11:55.199 --> 01:11:57.039 of our boats and not catch some sort of a 1280 01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:02.239 backhand for it. And I'm not saying they do what it. 1281 01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:05.199 Has been known since day one. Don't fuck with America ships. 1282 01:12:05.399 --> 01:12:07.359 It's like the only it's one of the only rules 1283 01:12:07.359 --> 01:12:12.199 that we actually care about. But anyway, moving on here 1284 01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:15.439 back to Venezuela, says regional tensions and US build up 1285 01:12:15.479 --> 01:12:18.239 the accusations come at a time of strained relations between 1286 01:12:18.319 --> 01:12:21.760 Venezuela and the United States following the Trump administration's decision 1287 01:12:21.800 --> 01:12:25.159 to amass the largest US military presence in the Caribbean 1288 01:12:25.560 --> 01:12:29.680 has seen in decades to combat drug cartels. Drug cartel 1289 01:12:29.720 --> 01:12:32.319 operations in the region. The task force has launched deadly 1290 01:12:32.359 --> 01:12:35.800 strikes against boats in the US. The US says we're 1291 01:12:35.840 --> 01:12:40.199 transporting drugs to Caribbean islands and into the United States, 1292 01:12:40.239 --> 01:12:43.479 most of them originating in Venezuela, leaving at least forty 1293 01:12:43.479 --> 01:12:46.800 three people dead. Yeah, it'd be like that. The build 1294 01:12:46.880 --> 01:12:49.520 up you US forces in the region continues. Over the 1295 01:12:49.560 --> 01:12:51.880 past two months, the Pentagon has deployed close to ten 1296 01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:54.640 thousand troops, most of them based in Puerto Rico, along 1297 01:12:54.680 --> 01:12:58.000 with a contingent of marines aboard amphibious assault ships. The 1298 01:12:58.079 --> 01:13:00.800 US Navy has positioned at least ten wars and a 1299 01:13:00.840 --> 01:13:03.840 submarine in the Caribbean as part of the expanding presence, 1300 01:13:04.079 --> 01:13:07.800 and last week, Trump directed the world's largest aircraft carrier, 1301 01:13:08.079 --> 01:13:12.079 the USS gerald Are, forward into the region. In addition, 1302 01:13:12.840 --> 01:13:16.279 Trump is indicated that the US is now considering ground operations. 1303 01:13:16.560 --> 01:13:20.520 While his administration has quietly granted the CIA new powers 1304 01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:25.279 to conduct covert activities in the South American country. There 1305 01:13:25.359 --> 01:13:27.560 is a direct quote here. It says, we are certainly 1306 01:13:27.600 --> 01:13:30.399 looking at land now because we've got the sea very 1307 01:13:30.439 --> 01:13:33.720 well under control. Trump tot reporters in the Oval Office. 1308 01:13:33.840 --> 01:13:36.680 We've almost totally stopped it by sea. Now we'll stop 1309 01:13:36.680 --> 01:13:39.239 it by land. And again, I think the CIA is 1310 01:13:39.279 --> 01:13:41.960 more than capable of doing the job as far as 1311 01:13:42.039 --> 01:13:45.000 the land based operations are concerned. But you know it's 1312 01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:47.560 worth mentioning. So there it is has been brought up. 1313 01:13:48.279 --> 01:13:52.039 Now NBC News this article is talking about Putin and 1314 01:13:52.079 --> 01:13:56.279 his brand new rocket, and he is man. He is 1315 01:13:56.399 --> 01:14:01.079 so excited about the Russian tech right now. Trump calls 1316 01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:05.560 Russia's missile test inappropriate, But is Putin's nuclear powered weapon 1317 01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:08.439 actually a threat? The main reason that no one else 1318 01:14:08.479 --> 01:14:10.319 has tried to build something like this is that it 1319 01:14:10.359 --> 01:14:14.319 doesn't really have any use. One expert told NBC News 1320 01:14:14.399 --> 01:14:17.600 that's not a true statement. It's not a true statement. Okay, 1321 01:14:18.600 --> 01:14:21.840 to get the over under on this one. Russia is 1322 01:14:22.359 --> 01:14:27.560 super stoked that they have actually developed a nuclear powered missile. 1323 01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:31.760 Now I'm gonna say that one again. Not a nuclear bomb, 1324 01:14:32.159 --> 01:14:35.039 not a cruise missile, not an ICBM. Depending on the 1325 01:14:35.079 --> 01:14:36.680 type they're saying that. It could be a torpedo, it 1326 01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:39.880 could be a rocket. Beside the point, instead of using 1327 01:14:39.960 --> 01:14:43.079 a fuel source like rocket fuel or something along these lines, 1328 01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:47.079 they have developed a small nuclear reactor inside of this 1329 01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:52.000 projectile to be used as its propulsion. And they are 1330 01:14:52.760 --> 01:14:56.119 like over the moon that they have finally like cracked 1331 01:14:56.119 --> 01:15:00.600 this code and they have this tech. Right, here's the 1332 01:15:00.640 --> 01:15:07.359 deal America had that nineteen sixty one. Congratulations Russia, you're 1333 01:15:07.439 --> 01:15:10.560 finally up to snow with what America was dealing with 1334 01:15:10.680 --> 01:15:14.199 in the Vietnam War. But all right, orb, I should 1335 01:15:14.239 --> 01:15:17.239 say right before, but beside the point, and we shut 1336 01:15:17.239 --> 01:15:21.920 the program down three years after it started, reason being A, 1337 01:15:22.359 --> 01:15:26.319 it's really dumb like we had it and it's just 1338 01:15:26.399 --> 01:15:30.119 not a good look, and B the likelihood of that 1339 01:15:30.279 --> 01:15:35.600 having actual nuclear fallout is pretty pretty high. Let me 1340 01:15:35.640 --> 01:15:40.239 explain this a little further. Whenever you have a nuclear warhead, 1341 01:15:40.560 --> 01:15:44.560 like an actual nuclear bomb, and it gets shot out 1342 01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:48.239 of the sky by some sort of interceptor missile, cool 1343 01:15:49.239 --> 01:15:53.079 you'll have some nuclear debris, some radiation that will hit 1344 01:15:53.119 --> 01:15:55.000 the ground, and it's not gonna be a nuclear bomb. 1345 01:15:55.039 --> 01:15:57.640 I'm saying, like debris from the uranium that is inside 1346 01:15:57.680 --> 01:15:59.880 of the bomb, right, it'll be very small, very man. 1347 01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:04.079 The likelihood of you having like a real nuclear fallout 1348 01:16:04.079 --> 01:16:08.600 event after a nuclear warhead got intercepted on a large 1349 01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:12.439 scale anyway, is like one in a hundred shot, because 1350 01:16:13.079 --> 01:16:16.399 a nuclear bomb is a series of reactions all happening 1351 01:16:16.439 --> 01:16:18.520 at the exact same time, and there's a series of 1352 01:16:18.520 --> 01:16:20.880 triggers that have to fall in a certain order to 1353 01:16:21.000 --> 01:16:24.760 make that happen when it's supposed to happen. Okay, for 1354 01:16:24.880 --> 01:16:29.279 a nuclear powered missile, if that gets shot out of 1355 01:16:29.279 --> 01:16:33.920 the sky, we're talking about a nuclear reactor that is 1356 01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:37.920 now cracked open and exposed to the air. The likelihood 1357 01:16:37.920 --> 01:16:41.159 of that having a nuclear fallout type situation from it 1358 01:16:41.239 --> 01:16:44.319 is one hundred out of one hundred. There's no way. 1359 01:16:44.359 --> 01:16:45.760 And I'm not saying it would be a full on 1360 01:16:45.880 --> 01:16:48.760 Chernobyl or a full on Fukushima. I guess it depends 1361 01:16:48.800 --> 01:16:52.359 on where that uh, where the materials were to hit 1362 01:16:52.399 --> 01:16:55.000 the ground, what kind of water sources it in near, 1363 01:16:55.359 --> 01:16:57.720 how populated it is, the area to which it fell. 1364 01:16:57.840 --> 01:16:59.840 These kinds of things come into effect. But the point 1365 01:16:59.840 --> 01:17:04.319 is we realize that in sixty one and we shut 1366 01:17:04.319 --> 01:17:06.840 down our program. And if anybody wants to look up 1367 01:17:06.840 --> 01:17:10.960 the program itself, it's called Operation Pluto. And when you 1368 01:17:11.000 --> 01:17:13.319 look this up, there's two different Operation Plutos, so make 1369 01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:14.720 sure you look up the one. As far as a 1370 01:17:15.199 --> 01:17:19.439 projectile goes, Project Pluto was a US Cold War era 1371 01:17:19.560 --> 01:17:23.159 program to develop a nuclear powered Ramjet cruise missile capable 1372 01:17:23.199 --> 01:17:27.479 of mock three speeds and effectively infinite range. The missile 1373 01:17:27.479 --> 01:17:30.399 would have used a nuclear reactor to heat air, which 1374 01:17:30.439 --> 01:17:33.880 would then be expelled through a Ramjet engine to provide thrust. 1375 01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:37.920 Although engine tests were successful, the project was canceled in 1376 01:17:37.960 --> 01:17:41.920 the nineteen sixties due to extreme dangers potential for radioactive 1377 01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:47.520 fallout in the increasing viability of intercontinental ballistic missiles. So again, 1378 01:17:48.039 --> 01:17:51.640 Russia has finally caught up to where America was in 1379 01:17:51.760 --> 01:17:57.159 nineteen sixty one. Good job putin. Good job anyway, before 1380 01:17:57.199 --> 01:18:01.199 I read this article, go ahead there, Sam. 1381 01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:04.159 Yeah, And that children is what we call a dirty bomb. 1382 01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:09.119 This is exactly right. Yes, you basically, as soon as 1383 01:18:09.119 --> 01:18:14.000 that thing gets intercepted, you have accidentally and inadvertently created 1384 01:18:14.039 --> 01:18:17.359 a dirty bomb that you can't undo. It's very different 1385 01:18:17.359 --> 01:18:20.000 than hitting a nuclear warhead out of the sky. This 1386 01:18:20.119 --> 01:18:22.399 is this is the same as cracking open a nuclear 1387 01:18:22.399 --> 01:18:24.560 reactor in the air and just letting the chips fall 1388 01:18:24.560 --> 01:18:25.079 where they may. 1389 01:18:25.800 --> 01:18:29.880 So if they did use this, wouldn't they wouldn't that 1390 01:18:29.920 --> 01:18:34.159 be both climbs again into humanity and war crimes? 1391 01:18:34.479 --> 01:18:34.680 Uh? 1392 01:18:34.760 --> 01:18:37.439 Well, if they were to use it successfully and like 1393 01:18:37.520 --> 01:18:41.439 bomb Ukraine with this reactor powered missile, it wouldn't be 1394 01:18:41.479 --> 01:18:45.359 a nuclear explosion. It's a different thing between what makes 1395 01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:48.359 a nuclear bomb make a mushroom cloud and what makes 1396 01:18:48.399 --> 01:18:53.920 a nuclear reactor produce power. It's it's similar, it's similar mechanics, 1397 01:18:53.960 --> 01:18:59.199 but to a different purpose. Okay, I'll put it to 1398 01:18:59.239 --> 01:19:02.079 another example. Think about if you were to pour gasoline 1399 01:19:02.119 --> 01:19:06.359 on a bonfire as opposed to spraying gasoline in a 1400 01:19:06.680 --> 01:19:09.880 piston with a spark plug. One creates a woosh, one 1401 01:19:09.920 --> 01:19:11.680 creates an explosion. You see what I'm saying. 1402 01:19:12.560 --> 01:19:14.800 I can visually see it in my head, so I 1403 01:19:14.960 --> 01:19:19.720 understand that. But like, like, keep in mind, America has 1404 01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:24.119 technically We've knew to ourselves multiple times, both Big T 1405 01:19:24.119 --> 01:19:26.960 TV and literally help. If you really want to be 1406 01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:31.560 technically technical, you could argue that we did it three 1407 01:19:31.600 --> 01:19:35.880 times to Japan because we accidentally launched one horizontally. It 1408 01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:39.359 wasn't votical, but it went across the landscape of Japan. Help. 1409 01:19:39.840 --> 01:19:42.760 I can literally go to the coast right now, like 1410 01:19:44.600 --> 01:19:47.680 one hundred miles for me, give or take, and I 1411 01:19:47.720 --> 01:19:51.079 can legitimly go and see. I can go to that. 1412 01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:56.000 I can go to Jacko Island and it's either Jacke 1413 01:19:56.039 --> 01:19:59.479 Island or Sat Simon's Island. But right off the coast 1414 01:19:59.520 --> 01:20:02.359 of it, there was a nuclear warhead that is just 1415 01:20:02.399 --> 01:20:06.000 sitting at the bottom right off the coast, and they 1416 01:20:06.119 --> 01:20:08.920 cannot find it that they'll never be able to find it. 1417 01:20:09.199 --> 01:20:12.319 Yeah, it's gone, it's there, but it's it's never gonna be. 1418 01:20:12.239 --> 01:20:16.199 Recovered under so much seal and everything. Even if they 1419 01:20:16.199 --> 01:20:17.960 did find it, they wouldn't be able to take it. 1420 01:20:18.199 --> 01:20:20.720 They wouldn't be able to bring it up because at 1421 01:20:20.720 --> 01:20:23.600 that point all the metal husband rusted, it has oxydized. 1422 01:20:24.399 --> 01:20:28.199 Our waters is gonna be uh contaminated. Our earth water 1423 01:20:28.279 --> 01:20:31.880 is already radioactive. Look at Fukushima, which keep in mind, 1424 01:20:31.920 --> 01:20:33.520 that could have been a whole lot worse than what 1425 01:20:33.560 --> 01:20:36.159 it was, and it was already it was only forty 1426 01:20:36.239 --> 01:20:40.960 years way past the past. It should have been operating, 1427 01:20:41.840 --> 01:20:46.640 and like it got hit by what like a seven 1428 01:20:46.680 --> 01:20:51.840 point something earthquake in a tidal wave. Mother Nature's just 1429 01:20:52.800 --> 01:20:55.119 she had she had one on her she was only 1430 01:20:55.159 --> 01:20:56.159 and she rocked Japan. 1431 01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:01.880 So again, this would become a dirty bomb if it 1432 01:21:02.000 --> 01:21:05.560 was intercepted, if it was to deliver its payload to 1433 01:21:05.640 --> 01:21:09.840 its appointed target, it wouldn't be a nuclear bomb. But 1434 01:21:09.920 --> 01:21:13.720 even still, it's like, it's just dumb. There is so 1435 01:21:13.920 --> 01:21:16.720 many better ways to deliver a payload from point A 1436 01:21:16.760 --> 01:21:19.680 to point B without using nuclear power. And this is 1437 01:21:19.720 --> 01:21:22.760 coming from somebody who believes that we should be relying 1438 01:21:22.800 --> 01:21:26.199 more heavily on nuclear power and leave fossil fuels and 1439 01:21:26.239 --> 01:21:29.159 coal and all this by the wayside, I believe that 1440 01:21:29.199 --> 01:21:31.840 we should be looking more into nuclear power, but not 1441 01:21:31.880 --> 01:21:35.000 in the sense of ordinance. I know, call me old 1442 01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:38.119 fashioned on that one, but it's it's already been tried, 1443 01:21:38.279 --> 01:21:40.800 it's already been proven and tested that it can work, 1444 01:21:41.600 --> 01:21:43.960 but there are so many possibility for things to go 1445 01:21:44.079 --> 01:21:47.760 wrong that it's not worth it. But of course Russia 1446 01:21:47.760 --> 01:21:48.479 doesn't believe this. 1447 01:21:49.439 --> 01:21:50.800 How are they a superpower? 1448 01:21:51.039 --> 01:21:51.159 Like? 1449 01:21:51.199 --> 01:21:55.920 It's like they are how the like I don't try 1450 01:21:55.960 --> 01:21:59.359 I don't mean to offend anybody or whatever. No, what 1451 01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:03.840 how do they go like? How are they considered a 1452 01:22:03.920 --> 01:22:07.119 WOLDS player when they don't really care about their own 1453 01:22:07.119 --> 01:22:09.880 population if they're gonna use these type of bombs on 1454 01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:14.319 like somebody like twenty miles down the road from them. 1455 01:22:14.359 --> 01:22:19.079 So Russia by definition can't be a superpower. By definition, 1456 01:22:19.439 --> 01:22:22.920 America is the only superpower on Earth now. If we're 1457 01:22:22.920 --> 01:22:25.039 talking about like a trade superpower, we could have a 1458 01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:26.800 different kind of conversation. But as far as like a 1459 01:22:26.800 --> 01:22:30.760 military superpower goes, by definition, you have to be able 1460 01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:35.720 to have two full scale front lines of two different 1461 01:22:35.760 --> 01:22:37.800 wars going on at the exact same time and be 1462 01:22:37.840 --> 01:22:40.680 able to man those. We are the only nation that 1463 01:22:40.720 --> 01:22:43.359 can make such a claim, and we've done it before, 1464 01:22:43.800 --> 01:22:46.359 and that was not even to the technological advancements that 1465 01:22:46.399 --> 01:22:50.359 we have. Now. America could actually probably launch a three 1466 01:22:50.479 --> 01:22:55.239 pronged full frontal assault if needed, on three different warfronts. 1467 01:22:55.560 --> 01:22:58.000 We don't need to, so we're not gonna, but we 1468 01:22:58.119 --> 01:23:04.000 have that capability. The only only country that could possibly 1469 01:23:04.279 --> 01:23:06.840 argue that claim that they could do it too would 1470 01:23:06.880 --> 01:23:09.920 be China, But honestly, they actually couldn't make that claim. 1471 01:23:10.279 --> 01:23:13.199 They have the man power to man multiple front lines, 1472 01:23:13.600 --> 01:23:16.159 they don't have the equipment that would function on multiple 1473 01:23:16.159 --> 01:23:20.680 front lines. Russia quote unquote being a superpower, the special 1474 01:23:20.680 --> 01:23:24.880 military conflict in Ukraine has proven that they cannot even 1475 01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:31.079 handle one warfront where they outman the population of the country. 1476 01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:34.239 They're trying to take over by a way five to one, 1477 01:23:34.439 --> 01:23:37.560 ten to one scale or something crazy like that, and 1478 01:23:37.600 --> 01:23:41.079 they can't even make that happen. So, yeah, Russia is 1479 01:23:41.119 --> 01:23:45.239 not a superpower. That's that's insanity. Good. 1480 01:23:46.520 --> 01:23:49.199 Oh, I was just gonna say, I just with a 1481 01:23:49.279 --> 01:23:53.479 Russia thing like it took them what six months to 1482 01:23:53.520 --> 01:23:57.119 just get out of at then Stalingrad in World War Two, 1483 01:23:57.479 --> 01:24:01.880 and then like Russia, Yeah they have the heart or whatever. 1484 01:24:02.000 --> 01:24:04.479 They'll just keep throwing their men into the to the 1485 01:24:04.520 --> 01:24:08.800 meat grinder like for just and say it's a win 1486 01:24:08.920 --> 01:24:13.079 if they just get one yard of gains. That is 1487 01:24:13.159 --> 01:24:18.800 Russia and you and no offense like Russia that this 1488 01:24:18.840 --> 01:24:21.199 is where the culture where ballet came from, which was 1489 01:24:21.239 --> 01:24:25.039 supposed to be a martial art type deal. But I 1490 01:24:25.079 --> 01:24:30.319 still don't understand why how Russia they try to say 1491 01:24:30.359 --> 01:24:32.560 they beat their chests and everything, but they are still 1492 01:24:32.600 --> 01:24:37.239 stuck in like nineteen seventeen in society. Half of their 1493 01:24:37.279 --> 01:24:40.640 homes don't even have toilets. They go out to an 1494 01:24:40.640 --> 01:24:41.159 out house. 1495 01:24:41.640 --> 01:24:44.600 Yeah, that's actually I'm not sure if it's half. For 1496 01:24:44.800 --> 01:24:48.600 like one in ten Russian homes don't have indoor plumbing. 1497 01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:50.319 But either way, I'm sorry. You're not gonna have the 1498 01:24:50.359 --> 01:24:52.600 conversation like you're a superpower if you can't even give 1499 01:24:52.600 --> 01:24:53.920 your people clean drinking water. 1500 01:24:54.439 --> 01:24:58.520 Keep in mind, the ancient Romans had indoor plumbing. 1501 01:24:59.079 --> 01:25:02.399 Yeah, but yeah, Russia, they're so great, they're so powerful. 1502 01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:05.520 Not anyway, let's move on, and says Russia has successfully 1503 01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:07.920 tested in an experimental weapon that sounds like something out 1504 01:25:07.960 --> 01:25:10.640 of a sci fi movie, a nuclear power cruise missile 1505 01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:14.239 with unlimited range, who's low flying, terrain hugging and loitering 1506 01:25:14.279 --> 01:25:18.560 capabilities could evade America's missile defenses and drop atomic bombs 1507 01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:22.319 anywhere on Earth. A. That's not a true statement, and 1508 01:25:22.479 --> 01:25:25.800 B they're not going to be using a nuclear reactor 1509 01:25:26.119 --> 01:25:30.239 to send a nuclear bombs. That's a double entendre. But okay. 1510 01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:35.760 Russian President Vladimir Putin said Sunday that the Burrow Berevi 1511 01:25:36.760 --> 01:25:42.680 Berevist snick okay, meaning storm petrol type of seabird was 1512 01:25:42.800 --> 01:25:47.439 indeed a unique weapon that no other country possesses. Once again, 1513 01:25:48.039 --> 01:25:57.279 to reiterate Project Pluto America had this decades decades ago. 1514 01:25:57.760 --> 01:26:01.319 But all right. The development has drawn concern internationally, with 1515 01:26:01.359 --> 01:26:04.279 President Donald Trump saying Monday that it was inappropriate to 1516 01:26:04.319 --> 01:26:07.399 be conducting such tests when Russia should be focusing on 1517 01:26:07.520 --> 01:26:10.119 peace talks with Ukraine. Yeah, I mean that makes sense. 1518 01:26:10.439 --> 01:26:13.039 But many Western experts have questioned the value of the missile, 1519 01:26:13.079 --> 01:26:16.720 which is code named Skyfall by NATO. Some say it 1520 01:26:16.720 --> 01:26:21.039 doesn't do anything Russia can't do already. Yes, very accurate, 1521 01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:25.840 with others ridicule, it has a waste of money. Again 1522 01:26:26.399 --> 01:26:30.039 it is. There's also safety concerns about the mini reactor 1523 01:26:30.079 --> 01:26:33.920 that powers the missile, could spark a radiation catastrophe, because 1524 01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:38.039 again there's not like an unprecedented thing on this. It's 1525 01:26:38.039 --> 01:26:42.000 been tested in the sixties. The main reason that no other, 1526 01:26:42.399 --> 01:26:44.399 no one else has tried to build something like this 1527 01:26:44.600 --> 01:26:47.760 is that it doesn't really have any use. Pavel Podvig, 1528 01:26:47.840 --> 01:26:51.520 a senior researcher at the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, 1529 01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:56.359 toward NBC News the weapon is instead largely political. According 1530 01:26:56.399 --> 01:26:58.800 to the guy who is based in Geneva and runs 1531 01:26:58.840 --> 01:27:02.319 the Russian Nuclear Force project, it was important for the Kremlin. 1532 01:27:02.399 --> 01:27:05.079 I think that this is unique and something no one 1533 01:27:05.119 --> 01:27:10.680 else has done before. Okay, once again, it's inaccurate. We 1534 01:27:10.720 --> 01:27:13.279 have a nuclear submarine, the greatest in the world, right 1535 01:27:13.319 --> 01:27:16.000 off their shores, he told reporters of Border first one. 1536 01:27:16.039 --> 01:27:18.520 So a missile doesn't have to go eight thousand miles. 1537 01:27:18.560 --> 01:27:21.439 He added, all right, let me go ahead and cut 1538 01:27:21.479 --> 01:27:24.039 too if it talks about its range and capabilities here, 1539 01:27:24.960 --> 01:27:29.000 because I looked it up earlier and it's actually embarrassing, 1540 01:27:29.560 --> 01:27:31.960 like it take away the nuclear reactor side of it. No, 1541 01:27:32.039 --> 01:27:34.840 it doesn't say it, Okay, Basically it's saying that it 1542 01:27:34.880 --> 01:27:40.760 could go like fifteen thousand miles in like fifteen hundred hours. 1543 01:27:41.760 --> 01:27:43.880 They were trying to say how impressive it is for 1544 01:27:43.920 --> 01:27:48.159 a loitering time kind of thing. But it's like this 1545 01:27:48.199 --> 01:27:54.319 thing is like prop driven essentially, or I forget what 1546 01:27:54.359 --> 01:27:57.159 the actual numbers were on this thing, but like it's 1547 01:27:57.159 --> 01:28:00.439 got a cruising speed of like a couple one hundred 1548 01:28:00.479 --> 01:28:03.399 miles per hour, but the fact that it's a nuclear 1549 01:28:03.439 --> 01:28:06.399 reactor driven missile made Russia just feel like they were 1550 01:28:06.439 --> 01:28:10.079 doing great things here, and it's like, like, you have 1551 01:28:10.239 --> 01:28:13.000 missiles that are more capable than this one already in 1552 01:28:13.039 --> 01:28:16.359 your arsenal bro. It's like this like your boy who 1553 01:28:16.479 --> 01:28:20.239 has a like a really really nice twelve gage, but 1554 01:28:20.279 --> 01:28:22.560 then he's gonna go over and like beat his chest 1555 01:28:22.600 --> 01:28:25.600 about some new like four to ten that he got 1556 01:28:25.640 --> 01:28:30.119 that only shoots slugs, and it's like, uh, all right, 1557 01:28:31.560 --> 01:28:35.840 weird flex but cool, good for you anyway. Yeah, just 1558 01:28:35.840 --> 01:28:37.880 want to bring it up. Russia is losing their mind 1559 01:28:37.960 --> 01:28:40.279 and they've got like the hardest of hart ons for 1560 01:28:40.319 --> 01:28:44.560 their new nuclear reactor powered missile. And again, I just 1561 01:28:44.560 --> 01:28:46.880 want to bring it up because if any of the 1562 01:28:46.880 --> 01:28:51.159 good contingent, if the retinue of the Knights ever hear 1563 01:28:51.359 --> 01:28:53.479 somebody on the news talking about how this has never 1564 01:28:53.479 --> 01:28:57.560 been done before. Yeah, once again it has been. Uh, 1565 01:28:57.600 --> 01:29:02.760 let's talk about the cancelation of Project Pluto in the 1566 01:29:02.880 --> 01:29:06.760 United States. The extreme radioactive nature of the missiles exhaust 1567 01:29:06.880 --> 01:29:10.439 made testing and deployment a major safety concern, as the 1568 01:29:10.520 --> 01:29:14.760 exhaust itself was highly radioactive. Strategic shifts the development of 1569 01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:18.279 ICBMs offered a more viable and less dangerous strategic option 1570 01:29:18.359 --> 01:29:21.840 for delivering nuclear weapons over long distances, as they didn't 1571 01:29:21.880 --> 01:29:27.560 pose the same continuous risk of radioactive fallout. Yeah, if 1572 01:29:27.560 --> 01:29:30.800 anybody wants to look into it again, Project Pluto. Like, 1573 01:29:30.800 --> 01:29:33.079 don't get me wrong, it's a cool concept, like as 1574 01:29:33.119 --> 01:29:36.079 a as a sci fi project. It's cool that you 1575 01:29:36.119 --> 01:29:42.479 could harness nuclear reactor technology to launch a missile. That's cool. 1576 01:29:42.680 --> 01:29:46.720 It's just not it's not like a viable solution. We 1577 01:29:46.880 --> 01:29:50.680 have better technology already invented and at our fingertips and 1578 01:29:50.840 --> 01:29:55.399 in our arsenal. So anyway, all right, moving on, let's 1579 01:29:55.560 --> 01:30:01.600 talk about Israel. Israeli strikes Gaza again after overnight bombardment 1580 01:30:01.640 --> 01:30:05.880 that kills at least one hundred and four people. Attacks 1581 01:30:05.880 --> 01:30:08.800 shatter Palestinians short lived relief since the start of the 1582 01:30:08.800 --> 01:30:13.239 ceasefire that now looks increasingly fragile. Israel carried out another 1583 01:30:13.239 --> 01:30:15.520 strike on the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing at least 1584 01:30:15.520 --> 01:30:18.640 two people. After bombarding the territory overnight and killing at 1585 01:30:18.720 --> 01:30:21.880 least one hundred and four Palestinians, including children, in the 1586 01:30:21.960 --> 01:30:26.359 gravest challenge yet to the increasingly fragile US broker ceasefire. 1587 01:30:26.720 --> 01:30:29.960 The Israeli military said it had struck military infrastructure where 1588 01:30:29.960 --> 01:30:33.960 weapons were being stored for an imminent attack in bait Lahia, 1589 01:30:34.479 --> 01:30:38.119 northern Gaza. Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said it 1590 01:30:38.199 --> 01:30:41.479 had received two bodies from the strike. After the Tuesday 1591 01:30:41.520 --> 01:30:44.159 night bombardment, Israel said that it was now adhering to 1592 01:30:44.199 --> 01:30:47.399 the ceasefire again, and statements from the US officials seemed 1593 01:30:47.399 --> 01:30:49.800 to indicate that they did not consider the ceasefire to 1594 01:30:49.840 --> 01:30:56.000 have been broken. So you there's a ceasefire in effect, 1595 01:30:56.359 --> 01:30:59.479 and they fired more missiles into Gaza and killed one 1596 01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:02.279 hundred and four people, and now they're saying, yeah, no, no, 1597 01:31:02.359 --> 01:31:04.840 we're back on the seasfire. We'd be honest with you. 1598 01:31:05.359 --> 01:31:09.800 I don't even think we really broke the seasfire, you know. Wow, 1599 01:31:11.359 --> 01:31:13.479 let's get into it here. After the Tuesday night bombardment, 1600 01:31:13.600 --> 01:31:15.640 Israel said that it was I said that one already, 1601 01:31:16.159 --> 01:31:19.960 But Wednesdays strike cast doubt on Israel's willingness to comply 1602 01:31:20.119 --> 01:31:24.079 with the truce, which obliges both parties to stop their attacks. 1603 01:31:24.479 --> 01:31:26.720 The strikes, some of the bloodiest attacks in the two 1604 01:31:26.800 --> 01:31:30.359 year war, killed at least forty six children and twenty women, 1605 01:31:30.439 --> 01:31:34.600 and injured two hundred people. According to Gaza's Civil Defense agency. 1606 01:31:34.920 --> 01:31:37.960 They took place hours after Trump said nothing would jeopardize 1607 01:31:37.960 --> 01:31:41.479 the ceasefire agreement. Wow. Right, here we have a graph 1608 01:31:42.039 --> 01:31:45.479 of the attacks by a day by day standpoint. September 1609 01:31:45.520 --> 01:31:50.319 first of this year, just under one hundred people. September third, 1610 01:31:50.680 --> 01:31:54.079 there was you know again, just just a little over 1611 01:31:54.119 --> 01:31:58.560 one hundred people, one hundred and twenty ish, and everything 1612 01:31:58.560 --> 01:32:01.159 has been under one hundred. There's been some spikes, there's 1613 01:32:01.199 --> 01:32:04.000 been some valleys as far as the graph is concerned, 1614 01:32:04.479 --> 01:32:08.079 but ever since October sixth, there's been a real lull 1615 01:32:08.119 --> 01:32:10.279 in the fighting. There was a spike on October eleventh, 1616 01:32:10.520 --> 01:32:13.600 there was a spike on October twentieth, and the seasfire deal. 1617 01:32:13.680 --> 01:32:17.319 There's been practically no deaths and now one hundred and 1618 01:32:17.319 --> 01:32:22.399 four new casualties, but the ceasefire wasn't broken by their accounts. 1619 01:32:22.600 --> 01:32:26.359 The Israeli military release and infographics showing twenty five quote 1620 01:32:26.439 --> 01:32:29.239 unquote terrorists it had killed in Gaza over the past 1621 01:32:29.239 --> 01:32:32.119 twenty four hours, but did not explain the identity of 1622 01:32:32.199 --> 01:32:35.000 the other seventy nine people it had killed. The strike 1623 01:32:35.039 --> 01:32:37.560 shouted the short lived relief Palestinians had felt since the 1624 01:32:37.560 --> 01:32:40.960 start of the ceasefire. Funerals were held for the victims 1625 01:32:40.960 --> 01:32:43.880 of the latest attacks at hospitals across Gaza on Wednesday. 1626 01:32:44.640 --> 01:32:47.000 Some have been carried into medical facilities in the arms 1627 01:32:47.039 --> 01:32:51.359 of loved ones. These are massacres, said Hannen Mattier, who 1628 01:32:51.520 --> 01:32:54.439 lost her sister and nephews and was attending a funeral 1629 01:32:54.479 --> 01:32:58.560 outside Nasa Hospital in southern Gaza. They burned children while 1630 01:32:58.640 --> 01:33:01.880 they were asleep, she told the Associated Press. The Israeli 1631 01:33:01.920 --> 01:33:03.880 military said in a statement that it would continue to 1632 01:33:03.960 --> 01:33:06.880 uphold the ceasefire agreement, but would respond firmly to any 1633 01:33:06.960 --> 01:33:12.560 violation after they just all right. The Foreign Ministry spokesperson 1634 01:33:12.800 --> 01:33:18.079 or in Marl Morston mar Meerstein Jesus blamed Hamas for 1635 01:33:18.119 --> 01:33:20.359 the strikes and attributed the high death toll to the 1636 01:33:20.399 --> 01:33:29.319 group using civilians as human shields. Ugh, yeah, there's okay, 1637 01:33:30.079 --> 01:33:34.119 whatever you say, Homie. Hamas said the strikes revealed Israel's 1638 01:33:34.159 --> 01:33:37.720 intention to undermine the ceasefire and impose new realities by force. 1639 01:33:38.600 --> 01:33:40.720 It said it would continue to adhere to the agreement. 1640 01:33:40.760 --> 01:33:44.199 In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Director of Humanitarian 1641 01:33:44.239 --> 01:33:48.039 Support and International Cooperation at Gaza's Civil Defense Agency doctor 1642 01:33:48.199 --> 01:33:53.439 Mohammad al Muger said among these attacks was the targeting 1643 01:33:53.479 --> 01:33:58.319 of a cancer patient camp, the Ensan camp. Mohammad, who 1644 01:33:58.359 --> 01:34:00.880 was a reporter for the Palestinian News paper, was among 1645 01:34:00.920 --> 01:34:03.600 the dead, bringing the number of journalists killed by Israel 1646 01:34:03.680 --> 01:34:07.119 in Gaza to two hundred and fifty six. The territory's 1647 01:34:07.239 --> 01:34:11.159 media office set The death toll was confirmed by the 1648 01:34:11.359 --> 01:34:16.239 Agency France Press the AFP Talia reports from medical officials 1649 01:34:16.279 --> 01:34:19.279 at five Gaza hospitals that received the dead and wounded. 1650 01:34:19.560 --> 01:34:22.399 Benjamin Netanyah, who ordered the strikes on Tuesday evening after 1651 01:34:22.439 --> 01:34:26.119 a firefight between Palestinian militants and Israeli troops and amid 1652 01:34:26.199 --> 01:34:28.720 growing anger over Hamas turning over body parts of a 1653 01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:32.399 hostage whose remains Israeli troops had recovered two years before. 1654 01:34:33.880 --> 01:34:40.560 So essentially the Hamas and this is all according to Netanyahu. 1655 01:34:40.720 --> 01:34:43.880 Here they said that they were giving back the remains 1656 01:34:43.960 --> 01:34:47.199 of a hostage. Come to find out it was the 1657 01:34:47.239 --> 01:34:52.319 remains of a hostage or somebody that was returned years ago. 1658 01:34:53.039 --> 01:34:55.560 The Hamas people had gotten the bones back and were 1659 01:34:55.600 --> 01:34:59.359 trying to regift them as a new person. I don't 1660 01:34:59.399 --> 01:35:02.319 know the dredibility on either side of that claim to 1661 01:35:02.319 --> 01:35:04.960 be completely honest with you. But whatever had taken place 1662 01:35:04.960 --> 01:35:08.319 as far as the giving back of hostages and remains 1663 01:35:08.319 --> 01:35:11.640 and things led to a firefight, to which net and 1664 01:35:11.720 --> 01:35:16.720 Yahu responded by sending some bombs over and killing majority 1665 01:35:16.800 --> 01:35:21.760 civilian people. So you know here we are. The bobarment 1666 01:35:21.800 --> 01:35:25.159 prompted Hamas, who denied responsibility for the gun attack, to 1667 01:35:25.239 --> 01:35:28.960 delay a planned handover of another hostages remains, which had 1668 01:35:29.000 --> 01:35:32.319 been scheduled for Tuesday night. Trump, speaking two reporters on 1669 01:35:32.359 --> 01:35:35.119 Air Force One on Wednesday, said nothing would jeopardize the ceasefire, 1670 01:35:35.159 --> 01:35:37.840 but that Israel should hit back if its soldiers were killed. 1671 01:35:38.239 --> 01:35:40.720 They killed an Israeli soldiers, so the Israelis hit back, 1672 01:35:40.760 --> 01:35:44.319 and they should hit back, he said. Vice President J. D. 1673 01:35:44.439 --> 01:35:48.319 Vance said earlier that the ceasefire was holding despite skirmishes. However, 1674 01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:52.359 Tuesday night's attack exposed all the fertilities or the frailities 1675 01:35:52.359 --> 01:35:54.920 I should say of a ceasefire that from the outset 1676 01:35:54.920 --> 01:35:58.279 has been marred by violence before the latest overnight strikes. 1677 01:35:58.319 --> 01:36:02.840 Gaza Media Office accused Israel of having committed eighty violations 1678 01:36:02.840 --> 01:36:06.920 since the ceasefire began, killing ninety seven Palestinians and injuring 1679 01:36:06.960 --> 01:36:12.000 two hundred and thirty, I mean yeah sure. Qatar's Prime 1680 01:36:12.039 --> 01:36:16.359 Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheik Muhammad bin al Duraman al Thani, 1681 01:36:16.880 --> 01:36:20.600 said intensive diplomatic efforts were being made to ensure the 1682 01:36:20.600 --> 01:36:23.640 ceasefire did not collapse. He said the challenges were being 1683 01:36:24.039 --> 01:36:26.800 were to be expected, and both sides acknowledged the agreement 1684 01:36:26.880 --> 01:36:31.479 must hold. The Gaza Civil Defense spokesperson Mohammed Bassel described 1685 01:36:31.479 --> 01:36:34.800 the situation in Gaza as a catastrophic and terrifying, calling 1686 01:36:34.800 --> 01:36:38.680 the strikes a clear and flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement. 1687 01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:43.439 He told AFP the Israeli strikes targeted tents for displaced people, homes, 1688 01:36:43.520 --> 01:36:46.239 and the vicinity of a hospital in the Strip. A 1689 01:36:46.239 --> 01:36:49.000 spokesperson for the IDF, when asked that the strikes were 1690 01:36:49.119 --> 01:36:52.319 a resumption of full scale invasion, said on Tuesday that 1691 01:36:52.359 --> 01:36:56.439 the military can't elaborate on the scale yet. On Wednesday, 1692 01:36:56.479 --> 01:37:00.399 the IDF said it had reinstated the Gaza ceasefire. The 1693 01:37:00.439 --> 01:37:03.600 Israeli military published footage of what they said were members 1694 01:37:03.640 --> 01:37:07.279 of AMAS reburying a body in order to quote stage 1695 01:37:07.319 --> 01:37:10.840 a false discovery for the International Committee of the Red 1696 01:37:10.880 --> 01:37:15.000 Cross ice RC, which it said was Hamas attempting to 1697 01:37:15.000 --> 01:37:18.159 create a false impression of efforts to locate the bodies. 1698 01:37:18.399 --> 01:37:22.079 Hamas has yet to comment on the claims. As a 1699 01:37:22.079 --> 01:37:23.760 matter of fact, I have a video that we're gonna 1700 01:37:23.760 --> 01:37:26.520 pull up at this time to show exactly what this 1701 01:37:26.640 --> 01:37:30.560 is talking about. And you could see they have bodily 1702 01:37:30.640 --> 01:37:33.880 remains that some people. I don't know if these are 1703 01:37:33.880 --> 01:37:35.880 a mass fighters or not. It looks like it from 1704 01:37:35.880 --> 01:37:38.520 the video, but I am not an expert in calling that. 1705 01:37:38.680 --> 01:37:42.319 As I see it, they were reburying them for the 1706 01:37:42.359 --> 01:37:45.640 intention of saying, hey, look what we found. Here's another hostage. 1707 01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:47.760 Let's go ahead and watch this now. This is from 1708 01:37:47.800 --> 01:37:49.520 Fox nine Well. 1709 01:37:49.319 --> 01:37:49.960 New this morning. 1710 01:37:50.039 --> 01:37:53.039 Israel's military says the ceasefire is now back on in 1711 01:37:53.079 --> 01:37:56.960 Gaza after carrying out airstrikes across the Palestinian territory. 1712 01:37:57.119 --> 01:37:58.800 Let's get to our Leabinos. 1713 01:37:58.840 --> 01:38:01.560 She has details for in our life center and the 1714 01:38:01.600 --> 01:38:03.520 actions being taken from overnight. 1715 01:38:03.560 --> 01:38:04.800 Lea good morning, good morning. 1716 01:38:04.840 --> 01:38:05.000 Yes. 1717 01:38:05.119 --> 01:38:08.119 According to hospitals in the area, these air strikes killed 1718 01:38:08.159 --> 01:38:10.760 at least one hundred and four people, and that includes 1719 01:38:11.079 --> 01:38:13.960 women and children. The strikes are the dead list since 1720 01:38:13.960 --> 01:38:17.520 the ceasefire started back on October tenth, and they also 1721 01:38:17.560 --> 01:38:20.800 mark the most serious challenge to the truth thus far. 1722 01:38:20.920 --> 01:38:24.319 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Etnyahu said he ordered the military 1723 01:38:24.319 --> 01:38:27.960 to conduct powerful strikes over Gaza after accusing Hamas of 1724 01:38:28.039 --> 01:38:32.239 violating the ceasefire. Hamas said in response it would delay 1725 01:38:32.319 --> 01:38:35.920 handing over the body of another hostage. President Trump but 1726 01:38:36.039 --> 01:38:39.920 defended the strikes, saying Israel was justified and carrying them 1727 01:38:39.960 --> 01:38:43.079 out after what he said was an incident in which 1728 01:38:43.119 --> 01:38:47.039 Hamas killed an Israeli soldier during an exchange of gunfire. 1729 01:38:47.439 --> 01:38:50.960 Hamas had denied any involvement in that deadly shooting and 1730 01:38:51.000 --> 01:38:54.600 accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. So things are delicate. 1731 01:38:54.680 --> 01:38:57.600 Multiple hospitals in the region are trying to keep up 1732 01:38:57.680 --> 01:39:01.319 with a number of casualties that have happened already. Will 1733 01:39:01.319 --> 01:39:03.840 of course continue to monitor this situation and bring you 1734 01:39:03.840 --> 01:39:05.920 the latest developments throughout the morning. 1735 01:39:06.039 --> 01:39:10.000 Back all right, so as you could see they were 1736 01:39:10.039 --> 01:39:12.399 finding this tunnel where there was bodies that were buried. 1737 01:39:12.720 --> 01:39:14.520 That wasn't the video that I actually thought I had 1738 01:39:14.560 --> 01:39:16.279 pulled up, to be honest with you. You could see like 1739 01:39:16.279 --> 01:39:20.359 a white tarp and within it was bodily remains, and 1740 01:39:20.399 --> 01:39:24.279 you saw three Hamas fighters that are alleged Hamas fighters 1741 01:39:24.279 --> 01:39:27.199 that were like kind of lazily covering it with dirt 1742 01:39:27.239 --> 01:39:30.159 with shovels, and it was suspected that they were going 1743 01:39:30.239 --> 01:39:34.720 to quote unquote find these remains to give to Israel. 1744 01:39:34.800 --> 01:39:36.800 Later on, come to find out it was already the 1745 01:39:36.840 --> 01:39:41.319 remains of somebody from two years prior. Anyway, moving on 1746 01:39:41.640 --> 01:39:46.680 to the next international situation, a true genocide. This is 1747 01:39:46.720 --> 01:39:50.520 from Al Jazeera. RSF kills at least fifteen hundred people 1748 01:39:50.560 --> 01:39:55.199 in Sudan's Al Fasher region. Regional countries express alarm as 1749 01:39:55.239 --> 01:39:58.800 more evidence emerges of mass killings by paramilitary forces in 1750 01:39:59.039 --> 01:40:02.560 l Fashier. Let's learn about this together. Scores of people 1751 01:40:02.600 --> 01:40:04.880 have been killed in the attacks by the Rapid Support 1752 01:40:04.960 --> 01:40:08.199 Forces which is the RSF, during their recent capture of 1753 01:40:08.199 --> 01:40:11.279 the city of l Fasher in Sudan's western Darfur region. 1754 01:40:11.399 --> 01:40:16.359 According to a medical group and researchers, the RSF, which 1755 01:40:16.359 --> 01:40:19.439 has been fighting in Sudan's military for control of the country, 1756 01:40:19.680 --> 01:40:22.000 killed at least fifteen hundred people over the last three 1757 01:40:22.039 --> 01:40:24.880 days as civilians tried to flee the besieged city, the 1758 01:40:24.920 --> 01:40:28.119 Sudan Doctors Network set on Wednesday, The group, which tracks 1759 01:40:28.159 --> 01:40:31.079 the country civil war, described the situation as a true 1760 01:40:31.239 --> 01:40:35.720 genocide and this should also go on record. A lot 1761 01:40:35.760 --> 01:40:39.119 of these RSF fighters just a couple of years back 1762 01:40:39.439 --> 01:40:43.079 were the Janjaweed that you may have heard of as 1763 01:40:43.399 --> 01:40:47.960 doing the genocide in Darfur, same fighter's new name. Essentially 1764 01:40:48.600 --> 01:40:51.920 moving on. The massacres the world is witnessing today are 1765 01:40:51.960 --> 01:40:54.319 an extension of what occurred in l Fasher more than 1766 01:40:54.359 --> 01:40:57.119 a year and a half ago, when over fourteen thousand 1767 01:40:57.159 --> 01:41:01.640 civilians were killed through bombing, starvation, and extra judicial executions, 1768 01:41:01.640 --> 01:41:04.159 the group said. It said the attacks are being carried 1769 01:41:04.159 --> 01:41:06.920 out as part of a deliberate and systematic campaign of 1770 01:41:07.000 --> 01:41:10.600 killing and extermination. The statement comes as new evidence of 1771 01:41:10.640 --> 01:41:13.920 mass killings in the strategic area has emerged from Yale's 1772 01:41:13.960 --> 01:41:17.479 Humanitarian Research Lab, which reported that satellite imagery of l 1773 01:41:17.560 --> 01:41:20.840 Fasher taken after the RSF moved in, shows clusters of 1774 01:41:20.880 --> 01:41:24.199 objects consistent with human sized bodies, as well as large 1775 01:41:24.239 --> 01:41:27.399 areas of red discolouration on the ground. The RSF has 1776 01:41:27.399 --> 01:41:29.560 been locked in a bloody civil war with Sudan's army 1777 01:41:29.600 --> 01:41:32.119 since twenty twenty three, in a conflict that has killed 1778 01:41:32.119 --> 01:41:34.960 tens of thousands and displaced more than twelve million people. 1779 01:41:35.239 --> 01:41:39.000 The paramilitary force overran Al Fasher, the army's last strongholding 1780 01:41:39.079 --> 01:41:43.680 Dar Iour, on Sunday after a seventeen month long siege. 1781 01:41:44.039 --> 01:41:46.479 The Sudanese government said on Wednesday that at least two 1782 01:41:46.520 --> 01:41:48.600 thousand people have been killed in the city since then, 1783 01:41:48.640 --> 01:41:52.319 while aid agencies say they have received credible reports of atrocities, 1784 01:41:52.359 --> 01:41:57.199 including summary executions, attacks on civilians along escape routes, and 1785 01:41:57.319 --> 01:42:01.680 house to house raids. Sexual violence, particularly against women and girls, 1786 01:42:01.800 --> 01:42:05.119 was also reported in the city. They said, yeah, that 1787 01:42:05.199 --> 01:42:08.279 also seems to be a thing that happens in African 1788 01:42:08.279 --> 01:42:10.560 countries whenever there's some sort of a civil war that 1789 01:42:10.600 --> 01:42:13.600 goes down, they just have rape gangs that get together 1790 01:42:14.439 --> 01:42:18.239 and do that as a way to terrorize the local population. 1791 01:42:18.479 --> 01:42:24.479 It's absolute animal behavior. L Fasher's falls puts the RSF 1792 01:42:24.560 --> 01:42:27.079 in full control of the vast region of dar Form 1793 01:42:27.279 --> 01:42:30.880 and has raised concerns of another split of Sudan more 1794 01:42:30.920 --> 01:42:35.159 than a decade after South Sudan's creation, which that's very true. 1795 01:42:35.239 --> 01:42:38.680 South Sudan is its own independent nation. They split off 1796 01:42:38.680 --> 01:42:41.880 from Sudan because of all this fighting. Now they're looking 1797 01:42:41.880 --> 01:42:46.039 at having possibly another split in Sudan proper. Sudan's army 1798 01:42:46.039 --> 01:42:49.359 aligned government also accused the RSF on Wednesday of attacking 1799 01:42:49.399 --> 01:42:52.760 civilians in mosques during their recent takeover of the city, 1800 01:42:53.119 --> 01:42:55.640 which is interesting because the RSF is a Muslim group, 1801 01:42:56.159 --> 01:42:59.439 so for them to be attacking civilians in mosques that 1802 01:42:59.520 --> 01:43:02.920 even showed further that they have no respect or decorum 1803 01:43:02.960 --> 01:43:06.399 to even their own religious ideologies. More than two thousand 1804 01:43:06.399 --> 01:43:09.119 civilians were killed during the malicious invasion of El Fasher, 1805 01:43:09.199 --> 01:43:13.560 targeting volunteers in mosques and the Red Crescent. Mona Noor 1806 01:43:13.640 --> 01:43:17.479 al Dim, a humanitarian aid officer for the Sudanese government, said, 1807 01:43:17.880 --> 01:43:22.279 Al Jazeer's reporter reporting from Khartoum, said videos on social 1808 01:43:22.319 --> 01:43:25.000 media taken by the RSF shows fighters shooting at civilians 1809 01:43:25.039 --> 01:43:28.000 attempting to flee. The latest and most disturbing video to 1810 01:43:28.079 --> 01:43:30.159 surface was of the fighters roaming through what had been 1811 01:43:30.199 --> 01:43:33.479 identified as the Saudi hospital in the city of El Fasher, 1812 01:43:33.920 --> 01:43:37.600 executing patients. Survivors who fled the city said at least 1813 01:43:37.600 --> 01:43:40.880 five hundred people had been seeking refuge in the hospital. 1814 01:43:41.159 --> 01:43:44.760 Among those killed were health workers. Tidro. I'm not going 1815 01:43:44.840 --> 01:43:46.760 to try to pronounce that name. The Director of the 1816 01:43:46.880 --> 01:43:50.920 General of the World Health Organization said that more than 1817 01:43:51.000 --> 01:43:53.359 four hundred and sixty people were killed in the Saudi 1818 01:43:53.439 --> 01:43:58.119 maternity hospital, the maternity ward. They went in and killed 1819 01:43:58.159 --> 01:44:01.560 four hundred and sixty people, he said the who was 1820 01:44:01.680 --> 01:44:05.800 appalled and deeply shocked by the reports the Sudan doctors' 1821 01:44:05.840 --> 01:44:09.600 networks at RSF fighters on Tuesday, Cole bloodedly killed everyone 1822 01:44:09.640 --> 01:44:13.239 they found inside the Saudi hospital, including patients, their companions 1823 01:44:13.279 --> 01:44:17.039 and anyone else present in the wards. The regional Alarm 1824 01:44:17.079 --> 01:44:20.520 Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey and Jordan have condemned the 1825 01:44:20.520 --> 01:44:25.000 abuses committed by the RSF in Sudan. Saudi Arabia expressed 1826 01:44:25.039 --> 01:44:29.920 a deconcern, Turkey demanded an endto the hostilities. Egypt, Turkey, 1827 01:44:29.960 --> 01:44:33.319 and Katar reaffirmed their support for Sudan's unity and sovereignty. 1828 01:44:33.640 --> 01:44:36.399 Jordan likewise condemned the violence and called for restraint and 1829 01:44:36.479 --> 01:44:39.479 an urgencies fire to protect civilians. Of course they did, 1830 01:44:39.520 --> 01:44:41.479 but I don't really see that it is going to 1831 01:44:41.520 --> 01:44:45.039 take place here. The parent military force grew out of 1832 01:44:45.079 --> 01:44:49.600 the notorious government linked militia known as the Janjaweed, which 1833 01:44:49.640 --> 01:44:52.920 carried out genocide during the Darfar conflict in the two thousands. 1834 01:44:53.199 --> 01:44:55.720 The United States has also declared that the RSEF and 1835 01:44:55.760 --> 01:44:59.000 its allies have committed genocide in the current war. Now, 1836 01:44:59.119 --> 01:45:02.920 let's talk about some of the the unprecedented violence separately. 1837 01:45:02.960 --> 01:45:07.119 On Tuesday, Yale's HRL published a report relying on satellite 1838 01:45:07.159 --> 01:45:10.960 imagery that said the RSF forces were conducting alleged mass 1839 01:45:11.079 --> 01:45:15.239 killings after seizing l Fasher. He described the violence or 1840 01:45:15.319 --> 01:45:19.159 the director of HRIL described the violence of l Fasher 1841 01:45:19.239 --> 01:45:21.600 as unprecedented. This is a direct quote here. He told 1842 01:45:21.640 --> 01:45:24.800 Al Jazeera. The scale is immense from the earth and 1843 01:45:24.880 --> 01:45:28.159 burm the wall that now surrounds l Fasher to specific 1844 01:45:28.199 --> 01:45:32.640 neighborhoods such as Dara Jua Walla. I don't speak the 1845 01:45:32.720 --> 01:45:36.720 language of my apologies to hospitals and humanitarian facilities. We 1846 01:45:36.760 --> 01:45:39.319 are seeing objects that measure between one point five to 1847 01:45:39.359 --> 01:45:41.560 two meters, which is the standard length of a human 1848 01:45:41.560 --> 01:45:46.399 body lying horizontal, as seen in satellite imagery at high resolution. 1849 01:45:46.920 --> 01:45:49.159 Those objects were not there thirty six to forty eight 1850 01:45:49.159 --> 01:45:52.920 hours ago. They now litter the city. The researcher warned 1851 01:45:52.920 --> 01:45:55.680 that the killings were a preview of what could happen 1852 01:45:55.680 --> 01:45:59.760 in other areas of Darfour and the Northern Cordifon Province 1853 01:45:59.760 --> 01:46:02.520 as RSF forces moved to the east of the country 1854 01:46:02.560 --> 01:46:06.079 with the fall of l Fasher. Ahmad Ibram, a former 1855 01:46:06.119 --> 01:46:10.439 staffer of the transitional government under Sudanese Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdak, 1856 01:46:10.920 --> 01:46:13.319 said the RSF was meant to be integrated into the 1857 01:46:13.399 --> 01:46:18.159 national Army, but due to geopolitical reasons and in internal politics, 1858 01:46:18.439 --> 01:46:21.399 this did not happen. Many bets were on the RSF 1859 01:46:21.439 --> 01:46:23.760 militia to take over the resources of the country and 1860 01:46:23.840 --> 01:46:27.159 replace the national Army and take over the whole country. 1861 01:46:27.560 --> 01:46:30.479 The timeline of this integration and the rsf's new leadership 1862 01:46:30.520 --> 01:46:33.039 were the main points of contention that led to this war, 1863 01:46:33.079 --> 01:46:36.920 he said. According to Ibram, the war has been taking 1864 01:46:36.960 --> 01:46:39.840 place in Sudan's rare earth minerals and along the Red 1865 01:46:39.880 --> 01:46:44.199 Sea Line were being utilized to export livestock and other 1866 01:46:44.239 --> 01:46:47.279 resources to East African countries as an attempt to strip 1867 01:46:47.359 --> 01:46:50.760 Sudan of its natural resources. It's just a power struggle 1868 01:46:50.800 --> 01:46:53.880 between two generals, he said. This is part of I'm sorry. 1869 01:46:54.039 --> 01:46:56.640 It's not just a power struggle between two generals. This 1870 01:46:56.760 --> 01:46:59.920 is part of a geopolitical attempt to restructure the region. 1871 01:47:00.680 --> 01:47:02.399 I have a video pulled up as a matter of fact, 1872 01:47:02.520 --> 01:47:04.119 is going to give us a little bit more insight 1873 01:47:04.199 --> 01:47:06.000 into it. This is from the New York Post. Let's 1874 01:47:06.039 --> 01:47:06.560 check it out. 1875 01:47:07.000 --> 01:47:11.720 Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces say they've captured the final 1876 01:47:11.800 --> 01:47:15.840 holdout of the Sudanese Army in Darfur. That's raising fears 1877 01:47:15.880 --> 01:47:18.359 of a split in the country, which is torn between 1878 01:47:18.439 --> 01:47:22.199 rival military groups. The capture of the city of Alphashir 1879 01:47:22.359 --> 01:47:26.479 ends a brutal eighteen month siege by the RSF. On Sunday, 1880 01:47:26.520 --> 01:47:28.960 the group said it had taken over the local headquarters 1881 01:47:28.960 --> 01:47:32.760 of Sudan's army. Since then, sources have said RSF fighters 1882 01:47:32.800 --> 01:47:36.640 had detained fleeing civilians in nearby towns and villages, and 1883 01:47:36.760 --> 01:47:40.279 on Monday, sources told Reuters the RSF had surrounded thousands 1884 01:47:40.279 --> 01:47:43.560 of soldiers from the army. In the televised statement, Sudan's 1885 01:47:43.640 --> 01:47:50.119 army chief said his forces quote assessed a need to Retreatshi. 1886 01:47:51.039 --> 01:47:57.840 Everyone has followed what happened in Alphashir. Certainly the leadership there, 1887 01:47:58.039 --> 01:48:01.199 including security, made assessment and said they have to leave 1888 01:48:01.239 --> 01:48:05.279 the city due to the systematic destruction and killing of civilians. 1889 01:48:08.560 --> 01:48:11.199 We agreed with them to leave the city and go 1890 01:48:11.279 --> 01:48:14.640 to a safe place so as to spare the rest 1891 01:48:14.640 --> 01:48:18.239 of the citizens and the rest of the city from destruction. 1892 01:48:19.319 --> 01:48:21.479 The RSF has been locked in a civil war with 1893 01:48:21.520 --> 01:48:23.920 Sudan's army for more than two and a half years. 1894 01:48:24.199 --> 01:48:26.680 The two sides fell out over plans to integrate their 1895 01:48:26.680 --> 01:48:30.319 forces during a transition towards democracy. And let's say the 1896 01:48:30.439 --> 01:48:34.000 rsf's taking of Alvashir may help them regain other territory 1897 01:48:34.000 --> 01:48:37.760 around the country and grant them a diplomatic edge. Alan 1898 01:48:37.840 --> 01:48:40.840 Boswell's with the International Crisis Group in Nairobi. 1899 01:48:41.239 --> 01:48:45.239 It improves their military position in Sudan, which also improves 1900 01:48:45.279 --> 01:48:49.239 their negotiating position in any peace talks. But I think 1901 01:48:49.680 --> 01:48:53.239 the focus on Al Fasher was for a number of 1902 01:48:53.279 --> 01:48:56.880 strategic reasons, including the political leverage it would give them. 1903 01:48:56.920 --> 01:49:02.439 So yes, because they now would can control more of Sudan, 1904 01:49:02.720 --> 01:49:08.119 it will probably increase their confidence at the negotiating table 1905 01:49:08.319 --> 01:49:10.680 and harden their demands of the negotiating table. 1906 01:49:11.079 --> 01:49:14.279 Some activists have long worn that an RSF takeover of 1907 01:49:14.319 --> 01:49:17.000 the city would lead to ethnic revenge attacks of the 1908 01:49:17.079 --> 01:49:21.000 quarter million people remaining there. That was seen after the 1909 01:49:21.039 --> 01:49:24.479 capture of the Zamzam camp for displaced people to the south. 1910 01:49:24.880 --> 01:49:28.159 A UN mandated mission said last month the RSF had 1911 01:49:28.159 --> 01:49:31.560 committed multiple crimes against humanity in the Al Fashir siege. 1912 01:49:32.039 --> 01:49:35.520 The army has also been accused of war crimes. Unless 1913 01:49:35.680 --> 01:49:39.239 US backed peace talks make progress, it could all worsen 1914 01:49:39.279 --> 01:49:43.079 a conflict that's already displaced millions, plunged half of Sudan 1915 01:49:43.119 --> 01:49:47.359 into hunger, and spread disease throughout the country. 1916 01:49:47.640 --> 01:49:52.960 Okay, Now, like I said, it's an absolute horrible situation 1917 01:49:53.039 --> 01:49:56.760 that's going on there. We can hope for a peaceful 1918 01:49:56.800 --> 01:50:00.159 resolution to make its way, but Sudan's not known for 1919 01:50:00.199 --> 01:50:04.399 that at all. I'm just hoping that the Sudanese Army 1920 01:50:04.479 --> 01:50:09.199 can reclaim the territory and put a stop to the RSF. 1921 01:50:09.239 --> 01:50:10.880 The civil war has been going on for too long. 1922 01:50:10.880 --> 01:50:13.720 We just we talked about this a while back. There 1923 01:50:13.920 --> 01:50:17.920 was a oil spill that took place in Sudan. Basically, 1924 01:50:17.960 --> 01:50:22.159 the RSF blew a pipeline which flooded the desert with 1925 01:50:22.520 --> 01:50:26.119 a sea of crude oil, and yeah, that was all 1926 01:50:26.159 --> 01:50:29.159 done for their own political reasons. I was hoping when 1927 01:50:29.159 --> 01:50:33.039 that took place that possibly the Sudanese Army would you know, 1928 01:50:33.439 --> 01:50:35.239 do something about it and put a stop to that, 1929 01:50:35.239 --> 01:50:37.159 because now you're getting in the way of big business 1930 01:50:37.159 --> 01:50:41.439 for the country, Like that's not good. But again, we're 1931 01:50:41.439 --> 01:50:44.199 talking about fighters that used to fight with the Janjaweed. 1932 01:50:45.079 --> 01:50:49.279 They they're just brutal. They are absolute animals and they 1933 01:50:49.319 --> 01:50:52.920 need to be, in my opinion, exterminated for what they 1934 01:50:52.920 --> 01:50:55.920 are doing now and what they did in the genocide 1935 01:50:55.920 --> 01:50:59.880 a couple of years back. Anyway, let's move on to 1936 01:51:00.239 --> 01:51:03.640 Rio Dejennaro. Yes, we are going to Brazil. At least 1937 01:51:03.680 --> 01:51:06.720 one hundred and thirty two have been killed in the 1938 01:51:06.840 --> 01:51:11.279 Rio police raids. Official say Rio de Gennaro has decides 1939 01:51:11.279 --> 01:51:14.359 that they are tired of organized crime in their city 1940 01:51:14.960 --> 01:51:17.000 and they have decided to go on the offensive in 1941 01:51:17.079 --> 01:51:21.760 the largest gang bust ever recorded. Let's get into it here. 1942 01:51:22.079 --> 01:51:24.000 The number of people known to have been killed in 1943 01:51:24.039 --> 01:51:27.000 a deadly police raid in the Brazilian city of Rigo 1944 01:51:27.119 --> 01:51:29.640 de Gennaro on Tuesday has risen to one hundred and 1945 01:51:29.640 --> 01:51:32.279 thirty two. Officials say this is more than double the 1946 01:51:32.319 --> 01:51:35.680 figure sighted after the police operation in the favelas, the 1947 01:51:35.720 --> 01:51:39.840 poor neighborhoods of a Mayo and Pinha in the north 1948 01:51:39.920 --> 01:51:43.239 of Rio Dejennio on Tuesday, the Public Defender's Office, which 1949 01:51:43.279 --> 01:51:46.159 provides legal assistance to the poor, made the new death 1950 01:51:46.199 --> 01:51:49.279 toll public after grieving residents lay dozens of bodies in 1951 01:51:49.359 --> 01:51:52.319 a square early on Wednesday. The police raid was the 1952 01:51:52.359 --> 01:51:55.199 deadliest in the city, where authorities have for decades tried 1953 01:51:55.199 --> 01:51:58.520 to contain the gangs which control many of its poorer neighborhoods. 1954 01:52:00.000 --> 01:52:03.439 And that's not a joke, by the way. If you 1955 01:52:03.520 --> 01:52:06.520 ever met somebody from Brazil, especially from not like the 1956 01:52:06.920 --> 01:52:10.720 rural areas, but from somebody from Rio, it's understood to like, 1957 01:52:11.119 --> 01:52:13.159 don't walk around with a cell phone in your hand. 1958 01:52:13.560 --> 01:52:15.199 You will have a gun put in your face and 1959 01:52:15.199 --> 01:52:17.920 you'll have your phone taken, your watch, taking your wallet taken. 1960 01:52:18.439 --> 01:52:21.720 That's just seen as normal. Dressed like you're poor. Don't 1961 01:52:21.760 --> 01:52:24.039 walk around with your phone in your pocket. It's like 1962 01:52:24.159 --> 01:52:27.720 understood that you're gonna have your car broken into probably 1963 01:52:27.720 --> 01:52:29.920 six times a year. You're gonna have to get new 1964 01:52:29.920 --> 01:52:33.279 cell phones on a regular basis. If you're just living 1965 01:52:33.359 --> 01:52:36.279 in this city that's seen as normal. They're not even 1966 01:52:36.319 --> 01:52:39.560 like bothered by this, and that's a problem, right, And 1967 01:52:39.600 --> 01:52:41.399 so the police have decided they are done with this 1968 01:52:41.439 --> 01:52:44.359 and they're gonna try to start handling the problem. Asked 1969 01:52:44.359 --> 01:52:46.760 about the figure given by the Public Defender's office, Rio 1970 01:52:46.840 --> 01:52:50.560 state Governor Claudio Castro said the forensic work was still 1971 01:52:50.640 --> 01:52:54.199 underway and that until it had concluded, the official figure 1972 01:52:54.319 --> 01:52:57.319 would which he had been given was fifty eight dead, 1973 01:52:57.399 --> 01:53:00.840 although it was certain to change. Among those expressing shock 1974 01:53:00.880 --> 01:53:04.159 about the death toll was Brazil's President Louise and Cassio 1975 01:53:04.479 --> 01:53:08.199 Lula da Silva. According to Brazil's Justice manager, Lula was 1976 01:53:08.279 --> 01:53:11.800 astonished and also expressed his surprise that the federal government 1977 01:53:11.840 --> 01:53:15.359 had not been informed beforehand, even before the number of 1978 01:53:15.359 --> 01:53:17.760 dead had more than double. The United Nations Human Rights 1979 01:53:17.840 --> 01:53:21.760 Office said it was horrified by the police operation. Early 1980 01:53:21.800 --> 01:53:24.520 on Wednesday, residents took the bodies of those killed into 1981 01:53:24.560 --> 01:53:26.760 a square in Panhaw, where they were placed where they 1982 01:53:26.800 --> 01:53:30.000 placed them next to each other along a long line 1983 01:53:30.039 --> 01:53:32.640 to show the deadly nature of the raid. According to 1984 01:53:32.640 --> 01:53:36.880 Brazilian media, esimus vary between fifty and more than seventy bodies. 1985 01:53:37.199 --> 01:53:39.840 Many of the bodies had reportedly been retrieved from a 1986 01:53:39.920 --> 01:53:43.000 nearby hillside where police said most of the deadly clashes 1987 01:53:43.039 --> 01:53:46.520 had unfolded. Challenged by journalists about earlier remarks he had 1988 01:53:46.520 --> 01:53:49.960 made describing those killed as criminals, Governor cast replied, to 1989 01:53:49.960 --> 01:53:52.119 be quite honest with you, the conflict wasn't in a 1990 01:53:52.199 --> 01:53:54.920 built up area. It was all in the woods. So 1991 01:53:55.039 --> 01:53:57.920 I don't believe anyone was just strolling in the woods 1992 01:53:57.960 --> 01:54:01.079 that day of the conflict, and that's why we can 1993 01:54:01.119 --> 01:54:04.039 easily classify them. I mean, there's something to be said 1994 01:54:04.039 --> 01:54:05.520 for that. It's not like there was a bunch of 1995 01:54:05.560 --> 01:54:08.439 women and children that were collateral damage on this. It 1996 01:54:08.479 --> 01:54:12.039 was gunfights that were taking place in the woods, which 1997 01:54:12.680 --> 01:54:16.000 you know, hey, there it is. Residents describe the scenes 1998 01:54:16.039 --> 01:54:19.600 unfolding on Tuesday as warlike, with shootouts between officers and 1999 01:54:19.760 --> 01:54:23.680 armed men, with buses set on fire to create barricades. Again, 2000 01:54:24.279 --> 01:54:27.720 the police are getting in gunfights with armed men. That 2001 01:54:27.920 --> 01:54:30.239 you know. Again, I'm not really seeing much of a 2002 01:54:30.279 --> 01:54:33.680 downside of the government handling their gang problem. The people 2003 01:54:33.680 --> 01:54:36.199 can be pissed all they want, but that's a good thing. 2004 01:54:36.800 --> 01:54:39.399 According to the police, gang members also use drones to 2005 01:54:39.479 --> 01:54:42.239 drop explosives on the officers as they fanned out through 2006 01:54:42.239 --> 01:54:46.479 the neighborhoods, which are strongholds of the Red Command. This 2007 01:54:46.520 --> 01:54:48.840 is how the real police are treated by criminals with 2008 01:54:48.920 --> 01:54:51.720 bombs dropped by drones. This is the scale of the 2009 01:54:51.800 --> 01:54:55.520 challenge we face. This is not ordinary crime, but narco terrorism, 2010 01:54:55.560 --> 01:54:58.720 Governor Castro said. He also said that the raid had 2011 01:54:58.720 --> 01:55:01.079 been two months in the plan and was based on 2012 01:55:01.319 --> 01:55:04.800 a thorough investigation. Among those arrested is a man accused 2013 01:55:04.800 --> 01:55:07.520 of being a leading drug dealer for the Red Command. 2014 01:55:07.720 --> 01:55:09.840 I guess that's the biggest gang in the area. The 2015 01:55:09.880 --> 01:55:12.720 governor also posted photos on social media of the four 2016 01:55:12.760 --> 01:55:15.479 police officers who were killed in the operation. He praised 2017 01:55:15.520 --> 01:55:18.199 the officers killed on what he called a historic day 2018 01:55:18.319 --> 01:55:23.079 in which he said they confronted organized crime. Rafael So 2019 01:55:23.079 --> 01:55:26.840 Sores Rather, a brilliant journalist covering crime in Rio, told 2020 01:55:26.840 --> 01:55:29.560 BBC News Brazil that the Red Command had been on 2021 01:55:29.600 --> 01:55:33.039 the offensive and Rio in recent years, reclaiming territory that 2022 01:55:33.079 --> 01:55:36.359 it had lost to its rivals, the First Capital Command, 2023 01:55:36.720 --> 01:55:40.800 the PCC. Sores added that the police operation was part 2024 01:55:40.840 --> 01:55:43.600 of Governor Castro's efforts to leave his mark and deal 2025 01:55:43.640 --> 01:55:45.640 a decisive bload of crime in the city ahead of 2026 01:55:45.640 --> 01:55:49.199 the election year. The police raid also comes just days 2027 01:55:49.199 --> 01:55:51.279 before the city is due to host the c forty 2028 01:55:51.319 --> 01:55:54.760 World Mayor's Summit, a meeting of nearly one hundred mayors 2029 01:55:54.800 --> 01:55:58.520 from the world's leading cities, and the earth Shot Prize, 2030 01:55:58.560 --> 01:56:01.279 the environmental award, which will be handed out by Prince 2031 01:56:01.319 --> 01:56:05.079 William on the fifth of November. Huge police raids are 2032 01:56:05.079 --> 01:56:07.960 not unusual in Rio, but the number of fatalities and 2033 01:56:08.000 --> 01:56:12.239 Tuesday's operation is According to Sorez, police operations in which 2034 01:56:12.279 --> 01:56:16.239 more than twenty people are killed are very rare across Brazil, 2035 01:56:16.680 --> 01:56:19.239 and those that do occur have mainly happened in Rio. 2036 01:56:19.640 --> 01:56:23.279 Rio de Jennario's Minister for Public Security, Victor Santos, said 2037 01:56:23.279 --> 01:56:25.399 that two hundred and eighty thousand people live in the 2038 01:56:25.399 --> 01:56:28.720 area where these raids took place. Police footage showed heavily 2039 01:56:28.840 --> 01:56:32.279 armored or heavily armed officers patrolling the narrow, steep lanes 2040 01:56:32.319 --> 01:56:36.399 of the densely populated hillside favalas in this is a 2041 01:56:36.520 --> 01:56:39.399 war we are seeing in Rio de Jennio decades of 2042 01:56:39.439 --> 01:56:43.479 inaction by all institutions, municipal state and federal have allowed 2043 01:56:43.479 --> 01:56:46.880 crime to expand in our territory, Santos said, So now 2044 01:56:46.960 --> 01:56:48.840 we're going to go to a video to give a 2045 01:56:48.920 --> 01:56:51.800 little more clarification into what is going on in Rio. 2046 01:56:52.319 --> 01:56:55.479 And again I'm not too terribly torn up about it, 2047 01:56:55.520 --> 01:56:57.680 but you know what, y'all draw all his own conclusion. 2048 01:56:57.720 --> 01:56:59.600 This is also from the New York Post Let's learn 2049 01:56:59.600 --> 01:57:03.960 together again. Warning there's graphic content on this one. 2050 01:57:04.000 --> 01:57:06.560 A police operation in the suburbs of Rio de jan 2051 01:57:06.600 --> 01:57:08.680 Nio has left at least one hundred and thirty two 2052 01:57:08.680 --> 01:57:12.079 people dead in what has become the largest and deadliest 2053 01:57:12.119 --> 01:57:16.840 gang raid in Rio's history. The grisly operation saw explosions 2054 01:57:16.840 --> 01:57:20.199 and gunfire ring out in the Brazilian state and left 2055 01:57:20.199 --> 01:57:23.800 neighborhood streets lined with bodies just days before Brazil is 2056 01:57:23.800 --> 01:57:26.840 set to host a major upcoming world event. So what 2057 01:57:26.960 --> 01:57:30.119 prompted the brutal blood bath? Here's everything you need to know. 2058 01:57:30.960 --> 01:57:34.079 In the dark of Tuesday morning, October twenty eighth, twenty 2059 01:57:34.119 --> 01:57:38.159 five hundred Brazilian civil and military police entered the Alimal 2060 01:57:38.479 --> 01:57:42.920 and Penya complexes of Rio de Janeiro, accompanied by helicopters, 2061 01:57:43.239 --> 01:57:46.600 armored vehicles and drones. The state of Rio de jan 2062 01:57:46.640 --> 01:57:50.960 Nio launched the raid, which it labeled Operation Containment, aiming 2063 01:57:51.000 --> 01:57:55.479 to combat the territorial expansion of the Commando Vermelio or 2064 01:57:55.560 --> 01:57:58.199 Red Command, which is one of the country's largest and 2065 01:57:58.239 --> 01:58:03.000 oldest criminal groups. Acording to think Tank Insite Crime, the 2066 01:58:03.079 --> 01:58:05.840 Red Command is notoriously involved in the drug trade in 2067 01:58:05.880 --> 01:58:09.279 Brazil and South America and has a strong foothold in 2068 01:58:09.319 --> 01:58:13.079 the poorer neighborhoods of Rio de Janeiro known as favelas. 2069 01:58:13.680 --> 01:58:17.079 The group has faced repeated targeted clashes with government troops 2070 01:58:17.119 --> 01:58:19.840 and local militias in the past, who have aimed to 2071 01:58:19.840 --> 01:58:23.399 take the favellas under their control. According to the government 2072 01:58:23.439 --> 01:58:26.600 of Rio, the latest raids in Alamao and Pena have 2073 01:58:26.720 --> 01:58:29.960 been in the works for over a year. Police used 2074 01:58:30.039 --> 01:58:33.039 armored vehicles to topple barricades set by the Red Command, 2075 01:58:33.359 --> 01:58:35.960 while also setting blockades of their own to close off 2076 01:58:36.000 --> 01:58:40.920 strategic avenues and highways in the area. Shootouts and gunfire 2077 01:58:41.039 --> 01:58:43.279 soon broke out and have since left at least one 2078 01:58:43.399 --> 01:58:46.239 hundred and thirty two dead, four of whom are confirmed 2079 01:58:46.239 --> 01:58:50.039 to be police, as well as dozens injured, including civilians. 2080 01:58:50.600 --> 01:58:53.479 According to a video posted by the state Red Command 2081 01:58:53.479 --> 01:58:56.000 could be seen responding to the raid by using drones, 2082 01:58:56.439 --> 01:59:01.039 which reportedly dropped explosives on police Vreas. Video shows the 2083 01:59:01.079 --> 01:59:04.800 complexes looking like a war zone as explosions and rising 2084 01:59:04.840 --> 01:59:08.560 black smoke scattered across the city skyline. In the aftermath, 2085 01:59:08.600 --> 01:59:11.279 over forty bodies could be seen lining the streets of 2086 01:59:11.319 --> 01:59:16.319 the Pena Favella. On Wednesday, a witness told Reuters, I'm just. 2087 01:59:16.319 --> 01:59:18.359 Going to point out you noticed that the bodies might 2088 01:59:18.399 --> 01:59:22.199 be blurred out there, but the people are clapping. The 2089 01:59:22.359 --> 01:59:26.800 local people are clapping that these criminals and gang members 2090 01:59:26.880 --> 01:59:29.079 are no longer a threat, but let's continue. 2091 01:59:29.399 --> 01:59:32.600 The UN Human Rights Watch chimed in on the deadly assault, 2092 01:59:32.680 --> 01:59:36.199 saying we are horrified by the ongoing police operation in 2093 01:59:36.279 --> 01:59:39.720 Favelas in Rio de Janeiro. We remind authorities of their 2094 01:59:39.760 --> 01:59:43.680 obligations under international human rights law and urge prompt and 2095 01:59:43.720 --> 01:59:48.239 effective investigations. The harrowing ordeal comes as the state of 2096 01:59:48.319 --> 01:59:51.960 Rio prepares to host a major climate conference to kick 2097 01:59:52.000 --> 01:59:55.800 off this COP thirty World Leader Summit in Brazil next week. 2098 01:59:56.399 --> 01:59:59.239 The government has been known to conduct similar operations ahead 2099 01:59:59.239 --> 02:00:03.000 of hosting major world events in April of twenty fourteen, 2100 02:00:03.159 --> 02:00:06.319 over two thousand troops entered the favelas of Rio to 2101 02:00:06.399 --> 02:00:10.239 conduct a series of quote pacification efforts ahead of the 2102 02:00:10.279 --> 02:00:13.560 country's hosting of the FIFA World Cup. The State of 2103 02:00:13.640 --> 02:00:16.399 Rio announced that following its raid on October twenty eighth, 2104 02:00:16.520 --> 02:00:19.840 over eighty criminals have been apprehended, along with over four 2105 02:00:19.920 --> 02:00:22.640 hundred pounds of drugs and dozens of firearms. 2106 02:00:23.920 --> 02:00:28.399 Okay, once again, sounds like it was a successful raid. Now, 2107 02:00:28.439 --> 02:00:30.319 I don't know what that's gonna do as far as 2108 02:00:30.359 --> 02:00:35.199 the conflict is concerned. Hopefully that will start to put 2109 02:00:35.199 --> 02:00:38.359 things more into a peaceful situation in the city of Rio, 2110 02:00:38.479 --> 02:00:41.720 but I guess time will tell. It seems like a 2111 02:00:41.720 --> 02:00:45.199 lot of countries are cracking down on their organized crime elements, 2112 02:00:45.239 --> 02:00:48.479 and I'm here for it to be completely honest with 2113 02:00:48.520 --> 02:00:51.520 you anyway, all right, before we wrap up, I'm gonna 2114 02:00:51.520 --> 02:00:53.159 go ahead and check the chat to see if anybody 2115 02:00:53.239 --> 02:00:58.680 dropped any links to anything. It doesn't look like it. Yeah, Yeah, 2116 02:00:58.920 --> 02:01:01.760 that was a fun episode. Sorry again for the technical issues. 2117 02:01:02.119 --> 02:01:04.439 I think that's the first time we've ever had something 2118 02:01:04.479 --> 02:01:06.279 like that happen on the Cage to Night.
