WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.640 Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another edition of The 2 00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:11.320 Cajun Knight Live. I am your host, the Cajun Knight, 3 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.519 Jacob Mook. We've got a lot of things to discuss 4 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.199 this evening. We got flotilla issues off the coast of Israel. 5 00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.039 We got some Russian submarine issues in the middle of 6 00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.440 the Strait of Gibraltar. We got some other things that 7 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.000 Russia's got going on, which we'll talk about in kind. 8 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.399 We got some things going on with Iran, with their 9 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.160 nuclear situation or Iran depending on how you want to 10 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.359 throw your vowel pronunciation, not here to judge. We also 11 00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.679 got some things going on in America. Pete heg Set, 12 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.240 the Secretary of War, has decided that he is going 13 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.280 to remove the bitch assness out of the military. I'm 14 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.000 super stoked about this. I cannot express in words how 15 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.799 much we got things going on in Portland right now. 16 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.200 They're pissed Trump is sending troops. We got Trump sending 17 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.600 troops to Estonia as well, and now we are quadrupling 18 00:00:54.759 --> 00:01:00.159 our missile production effective immediately. Good members of the Cajun Knight, 19 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:02.520 Let's get ready to talk about some things we're gonna 20 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.560 go ahead and share the screen at this time, and 21 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.680 as I always do, I will give the shameless plug 22 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.319 for any of the listeners to the Cajun Knight that 23 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:10.120 would like to be a part of this conversation. We 24 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.640 do this every Wednesday night at nine pm Central. The 25 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.359 link is in the description below. One tier for entry 26 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.879 for Cajun Night on Patreon. Please join us. We enjoy 27 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.560 these Wednesday night get together. It's exchange of information, sometimes geopolitical, 28 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:28.159 sometimes religious, sometimes history, sometimes boohert, whatever comes up in conversation. 29 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.680 We're growing this slowly, but surely. If you want to 30 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:31.879 be a part of it, go to the link in 31 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:37.120 the description below. Now let's start off Greta Thumberg, who, 32 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:41.280 if anybody doesn't know, I'm not particularly fond of. However, 33 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.439 I can at least appreciate her trying to do what 34 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.480 she feels to be right. I will give respec where 35 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.200 it's due. She has a platform, and whether she deserves 36 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.239 that platform or not, I'm not gonna start debating this, 37 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.840 but what I am saying is that with the platform 38 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.239 that she has, she is trying to do things, act 39 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.920 change and do things for what she feels is the 40 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.120 right reasons. And there's a level of respect to be 41 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.319 said on that. That being said, she was on the 42 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.520 most recent flotilla that has been making its way to Israel. 43 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.879 Our resident correspondent on all things geopolitical, Tony, has been 44 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.120 keeping his finger to the pulse of this flotilla situation. 45 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.319 Last week we talked about how the Italian Navy was 46 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.439 actually running interference and a bit of a defense for 47 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.639 the flotilla. Now, I don't know what happened here, but apparently, 48 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.960 as with the other flotillas that tried to make their 49 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.599 way to Israel, this one was intercepted by the Israeli 50 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.000 Defense Forces. Greta Thumberg has been detained. This is an 51 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.360 article from Newsweek, and let's get into it. This was 52 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.800 published to date October first, as of time recording. Let's 53 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:47.479 get after it here. 54 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.599 So, the Italian ship actually peeled off a day or 55 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.719 two ago and it was replaced by Greek one, and 56 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.879 the Turks sent a navy ship for temporarily a short 57 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.280 amount of time. But they also sent some biract hard 58 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.080 drones to escort the flotilla a couple of days ago. 59 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.400 But rack drones, is that a slur or is that 60 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:11.520 what they're actually called. 61 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.879 That's what they're called. I think they're rushing or something. 62 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.719 It sounds like it. Yeah, that's awesome. So they sent 63 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.039 drones to try to run interference. And then all right, 64 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.199 so the Italians peeled off and the Greeks took over. 65 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.879 They peeled off and some drones took over, and then 66 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.039 they still got intercepted. 67 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.319 Yeah, and as the time of recording, I think they're 68 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.360 down from forty two boats down to thirty. Twelve of 69 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.840 them have been intercepted, the crews arrested, and they're just 70 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:43.199 hoping they got enough people left to swarm the beach 71 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.960 and you know, at least one will get through. That's 72 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.599 the idea. And they're only forty four miles away. So 73 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:50.520 let's see if any of them make it. 74 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.919 Let's see. All right, let's watch this quick video Greta 75 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.319 Thumberg speaking on one of the flotillas. Let's go. I'll 76 00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:58.639 put another little guest as well here. 77 00:03:58.719 --> 00:03:59.360 Wants to say something. 78 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:04.199 So all the ducts and nurses, Hello, Nothing that we 79 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.159 say or can express with words, can express the gratitude 80 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.400 and respect that we hold for you, but just that 81 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.840 we are in solidarity with you, We see you and 82 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:14.800 we stand behind it. You should not have to do 83 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.079 go through what you are going through right now, and 84 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.680 yet you are showing us the biggest bravery ever. 85 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.759 Okay, well, all right, there's some kind words from Greta, 86 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.920 and again there is a level of respect to be 87 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.560 said there. But let's get into the article here. Greta 88 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:37.360 Thumberg has been detained after IDF intercepted the Global Summund 89 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.160 Sumud flotilla as it approach Gaza's coast on Wednesday evening. 90 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.959 A spokesperson for the flotilla told news Week that more 91 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.079 than ninety participants, including Greta, have been abducted by the IDEF. 92 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.000 None of the detained activists have been released and no 93 00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.879 information has been given about any potential charges. They added, Yeah, 94 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.920 they're not going to be released. It's the evening time. 95 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.680 It's been less than twenty four four hours since they 96 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.759 were detained. It's not a catch and release type of thing. 97 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.319 The IDEA have said in a statement on x that 98 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.519 the flotilla had been safely stopped quote unquote and as passengers, 99 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.439 including Thumburg, were being transferred to an Israeli port quote, 100 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.480 Greta and her friends are safe and healthy end quote, 101 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.720 it added on x sharing a clip of Thumberg after 102 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:23.439 she was removed from the ship. Why it matters. International 103 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.439 aid agencies have warned their conditions in Gaza have become 104 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.240 catastrophic as the war approaches its third year. The Integrated 105 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.399 Food Security Phase classification has declared a famine in Gaza city, 106 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.879 while fuel and medical shortages have left civilians in dire need. Thumberg, 107 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:43.680 who was accused, who has accused Israel of systematically starving 108 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.040 and bombing millions of people, aiming to erase an entire population. 109 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.319 That's a direct quote, has joined other activists aboard flotilla's 110 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.399 to try and deliver aid to Palestine in her Palestinians 111 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.000 in Gaza. Israel has vowed to block all flotilla's, arguing 112 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.680 that a can be delivered through the Israeli sports under 113 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.879 inspection because that's something that we can trust. I guess 114 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.680 what to know. Thumberg was on the Alma Aid vessel, 115 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.120 one of six ships that had been intercepted by Israel. 116 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:16.600 The other are Diarra yesin Yuga, Spectra Adera, and Sirius. 117 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.920 If I mispronounced any of those, my apologies. The rest 118 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.240 of the ships are still bound for Gaza undeterred, the 119 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.439 flotilla spokesperson told Newsweek. The flotilla, which featured around fifty 120 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.759 boats carrying more than five hundred activists from around the globe, 121 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.120 including Thumberg and several Americans, began its journey in Spain 122 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.079 on September first. It set sail across the Mediterranean Sea 123 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.120 with the aim of breeding bringing aid to Gaza on 124 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.800 October first today, as of time recording, the flotilla was 125 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.959 around sixty miles from the coast of Gaza when the 126 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.560 ships were intercepted by the Israeli military. Global SimMan Flotilla 127 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.560 has accused Israel of targeting several of its ships with 128 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.240 water cannons and of ramming others as the military intercepted 129 00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:00.120 the vessels. No injuries were reported, which water cannons are 130 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.439 seen as standard operating procedure for non lethal deterrence for 131 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.839 things like this. Famously, if anybody's ever seen the movie 132 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.360 about Captain Phillips, right, cargo vessels use water cannons to 133 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.879 try to deter pirates and things. So the fact that 134 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:18.480 the IDF could have used actual munitions and shows water cannons, 135 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:22.160 I think is a statement that being said it's not 136 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.680 it's not the best look. The public opinion of the 137 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.759 situation in Gaza is getting worse by the day and 138 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.079 not letting AID get through that. In the beginning, I 139 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.639 could understand at least put the pieces together as to 140 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.439 why you would do that. Now it's it's to a 141 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.079 point where it's just it's not getting any better whatsoever. 142 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.800 And it's yeah, go ahead, Sam. 143 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:47.600 Like, okay, so I am. 144 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.160 Isn't it isn't Israel like the whole thing with the 145 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.000 I from what I understand, aren't they trying to like 146 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.160 going into Gaza and like hearing the houses and everything 147 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.600 and specifically looking for hamas. 148 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.680 But depending on the source. 149 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:10.480 And but okay, even before October seventh, like between thirty 150 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:15.120 and thirty six thousand missiles since when since Amasa has 151 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.920 taken over Gaza, before October seventh, between that time, between 152 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.920 thirty thousand and thirty six thousand missiles were launched into 153 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.959 Israel into densely populated areas. 154 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:32.440 Yes, but so it's a little bit more of a 155 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.679 siege at this point. And here's what I mean by that. Yes, 156 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.399 they are going through and clearing buildings and what they 157 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:43.639 suspect to be Hamas strongholds and points of contention, right 158 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.799 buildings that maybe you might be being used for Hamas's purposes. 159 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.240 Here's the thing. They cut off water to the city, 160 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.720 they cut off power to the city, they cut off 161 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:56.600 gas to the city, and they have cut off all 162 00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.080 food to the city allegedly. Now the IDF is saying no, 163 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.159 we are sending food into the city for the non 164 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:09.080 combatant civilians. But these reports are being conflicted by other 165 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.879 eyewitnesses because again, we are living in the day and 166 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.519 age where we have cell phones and satellite signals and 167 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.519 things can be posted to social media almost instantly. So 168 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.639 what once could be seen as like, Okay, well, you 169 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.440 gotta do what you gotta do to root out the evil. 170 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.360 And I get that there is now a very large 171 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.480 chunk of human beings that are not getting food or 172 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:32.600 water or medical aid, who are not enemy combatants in 173 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.600 any way, shape or form. And I understand that siege 174 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.159 warfare is not pretty. I fully understand that. But to 175 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:42.120 the civilians that wanted nothing to do with this, it's 176 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:46.120 not good. And this flotilla was being sent to give 177 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.320 those civilians aid. Now here's the other side of that 178 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.159 conversation with the flotillas and aid in general, depending on 179 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.240 the source that you get what you look at the 180 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.200 aid once it gets to Gaza, some are saying is 181 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.679 being commandeered by the Hamas warlords and they're distributing it 182 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.440 to their fighters, not to the civilians. Then we have 183 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.720 other reports that are saying that no, Hamas is not 184 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.399 taking these the aid packages in any way, shape or form, 185 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.519 and the civilians are the ones left starving. So on 186 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.120 one hand, you have people you know, playing well, I 187 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:21.840 don't want to say, playing the victim, because they are 188 00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:23.799 really victims of a bad situation right now. I don't 189 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.440 want to misspeak. Here. They are going out of their 190 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.960 way and saying, hey, y'all, we didn't want this fight, 191 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.320 we didn't attack y'all, and we are the ones that 192 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:35.080 are starving right now and we just want the food. 193 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.679 And Hamas is using that as a way to say, 194 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.720 look at what Israel's doing to these poor victims and 195 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.799 these poor citizens of Palestine. Then on the other hand, 196 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:47.440 there are instances where the aid was taken by Hamas 197 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.080 individuals and not distributed out. But that's not a one 198 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.120 hundred percent rule. So it's that's the thing. It is 199 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.919 such a messy situation, and nobody really knows which source 200 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.840 they can verifiably trust. There's a lot of white noise 201 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.600 and a lot of bad blood in the situation right now. 202 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.720 It's nearly brother tribe killing mother tribe. 203 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:10.679 That's all it's been for the last thousand years realistically. 204 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:14.000 But yeah, Tony, I saw you on nude yourself. Please 205 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.559 weigh in. I'm going to keep reading the article, but 206 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:16.679 I want to hear what you got to say. 207 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.279 Yeah, I don't think they consider themselves too brotherly. I 208 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.600 think the Israelis think of themselves as the superior and 209 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.759 rightful heirs of the land, and that's really the root 210 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.519 of the issue. They both want that land, and the 211 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.360 Gosins aren't. They don't want to leave. And there's also 212 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.279 no country on Earth that's gonna let huge numbers of 213 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.399 them immigrate. It's the same problem actually the Jews were 214 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:44.279 facing in Europe and World War Two. There were discussions 215 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.360 of okay, well where else can they go? And nobody 216 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:51.879 wanted to give them visas, not even the United States. Yeah, 217 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:53.399 there's been a long history of tip for tech. You 218 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.039 mentioned thirty to thirty six thousand rockets from gods that 219 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.480 have been fired at Israel over the last probably twenty years, 220 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:03.399 but it's been tit for tat. Israel's also launched missiles 221 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.679 and bombs at Gaza even before October seventh, and Gazans 222 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.200 have been killed by the Israeli military. So that's why 223 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.840 the Gaza, that's that's why the Gozlins have been so 224 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.600 pissed off, and that's why October seventh happened. It's the 225 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:19.399 culmination of a long history of tit for tats. 226 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:24.360 What didn't Israel give the people in Gaza the place 227 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:25.600 of Gaza I go six. 228 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.320 What happened back then was there had been some Israeli 229 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.919 settlements within the Gaza strip. These were, you know, a 230 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.120 couple of houses here and there, or maybe a small 231 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.279 block here and there, and Israel mandated all those people 232 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.799 had to leave, and all those people were moved to 233 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.759 the West Bank, which is the other two thirds of Palestine, 234 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:51.759 and they built illegal settlements there. So and Gaza and 235 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.080 the West Bank had been under pretty full military occupations, 236 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.759 so IDF could just go wherever they wanted in Gaza 237 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.679 until two thousand and five or six, and then the 238 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.240 IDEF retreated to the perimeter of it. Basically turning it 239 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.960 into what's been called an open air prison. So the 240 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.519 IDEAF wouldn't go into Gaza anymore. They just stayed at 241 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:11.080 the perimeter. 242 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.200 And I'll say this too, as far as the open 243 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.080 air prison conversation goes, I understand that they were under 244 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.240 heavy surveillance, and I understand that there was some contention 245 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.840 one hundred percent, But Gaza had a pretty solid tourist 246 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:27.320 population before this skirmish kicked off. I've never seen an 247 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.759 open air prison that has a thriving tourist population. 248 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.960 Yeah, I tried to look into that. What I found 249 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.440 was they had some tourism before two thousand and five 250 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:38.240 and practically none after that. But the West Bank has 251 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:42.279 always had a much much higher amount of tourism. Gaza 252 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.159 doesn't have a seaport, they don't have an airport. They 253 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.519 one group did build a water park in Gaza, hoping 254 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.679 to attract tourism, but like nobody went there after two 255 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:55.399 thousand and five. 256 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.039 I found commercials. I found commercials of them trying to 257 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.120 show it as a tourist destination. I'm not saying that 258 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.879 it was a successful one, fair enough, maybe it wasn't 259 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:07.559 as thriving as what certain sources, what have you believe. 260 00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.320 But even still, it's you wouldn't try to get that going. 261 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.120 If the place was as much of an open air 262 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.600 prison as they wanted it, it made it out to be. 263 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.840 I think that there's and I'm not saying that it 264 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.399 wasn't in some way, shape or form a I guess 265 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.759 a surveillance state, like an absolute not a place you 266 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.759 would want to live. I'm not trying to say, oh, 267 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.960 they were fine, like no, no, I'm not downplaying it. 268 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:31.279 But I also think it might be a misnomer that 269 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.200 a lot of people have said to call it a 270 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.720 full on open air prison. I don't know, uh huh. 271 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.360 Well, clearly people have been living there for the past 272 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.440 eighty years. Most people, more than half the population, has 273 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.679 never left Gaza because you need you used to have 274 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.519 to get a permit to visit Israel, and there used 275 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:53.120 to be cross border traffic of Palestinians from Gaza who 276 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.480 would work in Israel and across the border every day. 277 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.559 And after two thousand and five, or actually two thousand 278 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:02.279 and seven, I looked up that pretty much stopped. Nobody 279 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:03.559 was crossing the border anymore. 280 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.960 There was no more trade was it also, as far 281 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.320 as the West Bank is concerned. I'm trying to remember 282 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.840 the year here, was it two thousand and eight or 283 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.639 twenty twelve where Israel actually gave more land to the 284 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:19.200 West Bank and people were pissed about that. It couldn't 285 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:20.759 have been twenty twelve. It had to have been before 286 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.039 twenty ten, honestly. 287 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.320 Yeah, I don't remember any stories like that. But the 288 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.960 annexation has just been very slow motion. A couple houses 289 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.279 here and there, Yeah, new settlement here and there, and 290 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.600 they're just trying to keep it moving. And the last 291 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:39.519 land negotiation I can remember hearing about was the Camp 292 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.159 David Accords. I think that was in the early nineties 293 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:48.000 where natsn Yahoo said well, we just want Area CE 294 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.720 because Area SEE is what we deemed to be militarily important. 295 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:57.720 And he bragged in a recording that was taken kind 296 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.759 of surreptitiously of him that, well, what I didn't tell 297 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.679 the Americans is that we can call anything we want 298 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.320 militarily important. We can make Area CE as big as 299 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.519 we want, and we'll just say we want Area of C. 300 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.080 And when Palestine refuses to let us have Areas C, 301 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.720 we can say, well, we tried negotiating with them, but 302 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:17.320 they didn't want to hear it. Yea, it was a 303 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.960 poison pill. And this has been going on since the beginning. 304 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:22.919 I think that in nineteen forty seven, if the Palestinians 305 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.600 had accepted the forty five percent of the territory they 306 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.799 were offered, which seemed like a really bad deal to 307 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.720 them at the time, that would have been a way 308 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.240 better deal than what they got now. But it's like 309 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:34.960 trying to negotiate over a pizza when one half of 310 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.399 the party is eating the pizza. Yeah, and then it's 311 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.000 going down and down and down, and here we are now. 312 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.679 So if anything's going to make Israel stop, it's going 313 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.080 to be international pressure. 314 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.240 And the thing you said earlier about like nobody is 315 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:54.320 gonna nobody is willing to take in the Palestinian refugees, that. 316 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.159 Isnt Egept, not Jordan, not Syria. 317 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.120 I think there's a reason for that, right, I think 318 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:03.120 there's underlying cultural issues to that just right off the rip. 319 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.960 And these are there. I'm not gonna call them, you know, 320 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.039 brothers via their religion by any means, because Palestinian culture 321 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.680 is very different than Egyptian culture, is very different than 322 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.119 Jordanian culture. So there may be some sort of cultural 323 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:17.839 clash even within the Muslim world that a lot of 324 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.759 us in the West wouldn't understand. Possibly. That being said, 325 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.000 so many European countries are willing to take in refugees 326 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.480 from war torn places, and I understand their full to 327 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.960 capacity right now. But I don't know. Maybe I'm just 328 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.279 talking out of my ass here, but it seems like 329 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:37.319 if you were to send back a bunch of people 330 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.319 that were from Afghanistan, Syria, whatever, and you would send 331 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:43.480 back the military aged males that you have in your 332 00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:46.200 country from these places, you would then make more room 333 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:49.519 to possibly take in Palestinian refugees to the countries that 334 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.400 are already doing that. But I don't know what the 335 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.319 numbers of that actually looks like. I don't know how 336 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.480 feasible these things are. But to your point, no one 337 00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:59.839 is willing to take these people in, and that's that 338 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.640 is concerning in and of itself. 339 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:05.519 Yeah, the proposals I've seen had only small numbers going 340 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:07.720 to Europe or the United States. The lion's share of 341 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.559 them to about two million people would be going to Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, 342 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.200 and Jordan. And with regard to all of those countries. 343 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:20.799 There are already a lot of Palestinian refugees and their 344 00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:23.559 descendants living in those countries who were kicked out in 345 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.039 nineteen forty seven or nineteen sixty eight, et cetera, et cetera, 346 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.559 nineteen eighty three in the case of Lebanon, and the 347 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.480 demographic and political problem from that is that these displaced 348 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.000 Palestinians and their descendants in the near abroad of Israel, 349 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.160 they're severely anti Israel and they're always trying to stir 350 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:46.119 up the governments of Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, et cetera, to 351 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.119 basically go to war with Israel. That's why Lebanon has 352 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.839 had so many problems with Israel, and it's their Palestinian 353 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.000 refugee population that has been causing it. 354 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.759 Which, to be fair, it's not like these countries even 355 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.680 if the Palestinians weren't there. It's not like these countries 356 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.440 are like super fond of Israel either. They might have 357 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.359 a cordial working relationship with them for geopolitical reasons because 358 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:10.920 they see that you know, there's there's a bigger game 359 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.440 being played here. But I would argue that the vast 360 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.200 majority of the Muslim countries, the Muslim world are not 361 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.440 particularly fond of Israel in any capacity. But yes, to 362 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:24.759 your point, the pot is being stirred in these places 363 00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.680 by the Palestinian refugees from decades past. 364 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.720 Absolutely, Yah, yeah, real quick. The government of Jordan, the 365 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.799 Hassionites are pretty Israel friendly. They're kind of middle of 366 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:35.640 the road, and they get a lot of American money 367 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:37.599 to that position. Same. 368 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.839 I think that's the kicker. Yeah. I think it's the 369 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.279 American money that makes them cordial and friendly. It's not 370 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:45.799 it's not because they just want to be neighborly. It's 371 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.240 because they're being I don't want to say paid off. 372 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:53.079 But again, they see there's more benefits to being friendly 373 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:59.119 than being you know, antagonistic. Yeah, and they always raised 374 00:19:59.119 --> 00:19:59.559 what's up. 375 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:04.680 Dude, just like since it since some y'all brought up 376 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:08.119 that the Palestinians are the ones that like to stoke 377 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:13.480 the fire, if we will call it like that. At 378 00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:17.680 that point, I'm this is a very complex. 379 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:20.480 We cannot glass it, Sam, I know where're about to go. 380 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:25.119 We cannot glass I wasn't gonna say glass it. 381 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:26.000 I don't. 382 00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:30.480 I don't want there to be shadows on the sand anyway, 383 00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.920 But why don't at that point, why don't they just 384 00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:39.559 section off, build a wall around gaza and just like 385 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:43.599 y'all do y'all, and build like an iron crate on 386 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:44.400 top of it. 387 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.000 Because then it is an actual prison. 388 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:54.279 Then they get to have their own little secret gaza. 389 00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:58.519 And so what you are saying is essentially and it's 390 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:00.640 not an apples to apples compared and on this one. 391 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:05.519 But let's cut to America with the Native Americans. Why 392 00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:08.039 don't we just give them their this land and build 393 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.519 a wall and they could just do their Native American 394 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.839 thing on this land that we designate for I Meanwhile, 395 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.119 they're like, bro, we're from Georgia, like we hit our 396 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.720 tribe lived here for three thousand years, give or take, 397 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:22.160 you're gonna give us this speck of land and in 398 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.680 what Oklahoma? We don't even know this area, We don't 399 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:27.839 know this region. This isn't our home. And it's like, well, 400 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:30.799 you should be grateful for the acres you got. So 401 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:34.680 sad you know, it's not it's not pretty. Now that 402 00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:37.880 being said, this is how conquest happens. This is how 403 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.960 human nature has happened since the beginning of time. It's 404 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:40.440 not good. 405 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.599 I understand it's not good, but I guess my mind 406 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.119 looks better on like, hey, if you can hold something, 407 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:50.759 you can you can possess it, and you fight everybody 408 00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:57.319 else from taking it, then that's yours agreed. Since since 409 00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:59.839 Kane killed Abel, that's how the ship has. 410 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.400 Worked, and that is not October seventh was about. 411 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:08.640 I understand and that I just wish that the Middle 412 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.039 East would be at peace. 413 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:12.519 So I'm tired of people killing people. 414 00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:15.480 Well that's not gonna happen anytime soon. Brother, I agree 415 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.319 with you. I absolutely wish people would let cooler heads 416 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.559 prevail and bring it in to all the conflict. Uh, 417 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:25.119 just going on, What. 418 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.880 Can Jesus come on back down so we can just 419 00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:28.880 cut their shit in. 420 00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:31.759 The butt getting closer and closer every single day. 421 00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:36.440 Brother. But anyway, yeah, need borders over there, but Israel 422 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:38.759 doesn't want borders. They think that they deserve to own 423 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.680 all of it and probably a little more. I was 424 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:43.200 just reading the Book of Joshua last weekend where it 425 00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:47.319 says Joshua came into the area that's now the West 426 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:52.839 Bank from east to the Jordan River. And you know, scripturally, 427 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:55.680 Israel probably has a lot of people who think they 428 00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:57.880 ought to own all that territory too, even though that's 429 00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:00.680 way out of bounds right now, and they've never owned Gaza, 430 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:04.720 so in factor in the Herodian Hasmonian and you know, 431 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:06.839 earliest days of Israel, they never had that. 432 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:09.279 So there's a map that you can look up, and 433 00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:12.880 I want to say, it might be the designated areas 434 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.640 in the Book of Joshua that the Israelis or the 435 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:20.279 Israelites in this timeframe we're in charge of. It is 436 00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:23.559 a massive chunk of this area. So when people are 437 00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:27.359 talking about going back to their historical ancestral land quote unquote, 438 00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:30.200 it depends on which section of the book you're talking about, 439 00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:32.559 because there's a section where they owned pretty much half 440 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:35.720 of what we would now call Saudi Arabia, half of Jordan, 441 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:39.960 all of Lebanon, portions of Syria. It's like a massive chunk. 442 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.640 We keep in mind that wasn't theirs for very long. 443 00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:46.720 This was theirs for I want to say, one king's lifespan, 444 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:48.920 and then it were treated back to what we would 445 00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.400 think of more of the traditional Judea right, So I 446 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:55.119 mean it's it was when they were on a conquest vibe. 447 00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:58.160 That's like the furthest extent that their empire ever stretched to. 448 00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.880 And even as I'm saying that's that's a source of 449 00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:05.119 contention because it's not this is the land that they owned. 450 00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.119 It was more like the land that adhere to their rule, 451 00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:10.160 you know what I'm saying. Back in those days, it 452 00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:13.480 was very uh open the air about what actual lines 453 00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:15.960 were being drawn and divided up as far as land 454 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:19.519 ownership quote unquote goes. But yeah, nobody is trying to 455 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.400 bring back that type of map by any stretch of 456 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:25.359 the imagination. There's no way they could that that would 457 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.480 kickstart illegitimate World War IIE in the Middle East. But anyway, Sam, 458 00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:32.880 go ahead, Yeah when. 459 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.519 So isn't It's all like the land of Jujideo. 460 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:39.319 It's about the size of New Jersey. 461 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.079 The only thing I know about New Jerseys you can't 462 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:46.279 pump your own gas. And that's just done America. 463 00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.039 It's very true. There's a few states where they don't 464 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:51.720 allow you to pump your own gas. And it's like, bro, why, 465 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.480 like you think I'm gonna start stealing gas from the pump. 466 00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:56.359 I had to swipe my card to do this, what 467 00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:58.440 are you talking about? And then they're like no, But 468 00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:01.559 it creates jobs. It creates jobs for the people. What 469 00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:03.680 else are they going to do, Like, I don't know 470 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:08.720 a better career than being a pump jockey. But the states, 471 00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:10.960 I know, it's crazy. Like what happens to the people 472 00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:14.079 of Louisiana and Texas that can't they go and work 473 00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:16.240 other fuck Yeah. 474 00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:19.319 Now it's funny bringing up Texas because there's a fucking 475 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:21.319 cult on a goddamn gas station. 476 00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:24.240 Well, or you're talking about BUCkies. 477 00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:27.759 Yeah, people worship a fuck I don't know. 478 00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:33.599 You keep Beaver's name out of your mouth. We respect 479 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:34.720 him in this household. 480 00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:42.640 I love that one time. And yes, on substances. The 481 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:44.599 bust outstanding. 482 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.240 Is great, the store is great, there's whatever snack you're 483 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:50.839 wanting now. Grants that, I agree that it has developed 484 00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.319 into its own cult following, and people do take that 485 00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:55.720 to the extreme. But I got to say, I like 486 00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:57.759 Boozy's dude, I. 487 00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:58.920 Shot you not. 488 00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:03.319 I saw I saw a man in his forties like 489 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:09.160 head touching, the fucking, the the bowing down like like 490 00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:13.440 like five times a day, like to the BUCkies. 491 00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:15.880 I was like, the. 492 00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:20.079 Holy Beaver, dude, he is the Holy Beaver. That's the 493 00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:22.160 way it goes. But I will say it's like for 494 00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:27.519 especially for Texas BUCkies and Hb's that is like the lifeblood. 495 00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:30.279 See see that's how I know. That's how I know 496 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.599 that you don't know. H B is a grocery store, 497 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:35.759 but it's so much more than just a grocery store. 498 00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:42.200 It is. No, no, they don't, I know, I know, 499 00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:45.160 but it's if you actually look at the company itself, 500 00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:50.680 it's pretty phenomenal. This one family. HB actually stands for 501 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:57.519 is it Herbert Ernest Butts And yeah, yeah, and I 502 00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:59.079 know it's the Butts family. I can't remember if it 503 00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:01.720 was Hubert or her I'm I'm just spacing on that. 504 00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:06.440 But the grocery store, i'd like I said, I don't know, 505 00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:09.839 but HB is the acronym. But they started this grocery 506 00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:12.319 store during the Great Depression just so his family could survive. 507 00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:15.039 And they got so smart with it. They instead of 508 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.440 just buying a store, they bought like the acreage around 509 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.640 the store, and they set up strip malls. At every HB. 510 00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:24.359 You'll see a small strip mall or some little section 511 00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:27.880 of other stores around here, and they own that and 512 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:30.680 least those buildings out to other businesses and boutiques and 513 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.400 shit like that. So basically, any way you slice it, 514 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.039 HB is making money on top of making money with 515 00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:38.519 a little extra side piece of making money. And the 516 00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:40.920 Butts family are phenomenal people. 517 00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:42.680 So they're like pips. 518 00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.119 You just buy KFC Taco Bell and put your pepsi 519 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:45.799 products in that. 520 00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.519 Yeah, except they're not commis. If anything, this is like 521 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:53.279 ultra capitalists. But yeah, HB. They have no intentions of 522 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:58.200 expanding past Texas either. This is like a Texas grassroots 523 00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:00.599 type of thing. I heard rumor that they were going 524 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:02.839 to open an HGB outside of the state. I don't 525 00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:06.119 know whatever became of that, but yeah, anyway, uh ravenly, 526 00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.039 I see your hand raised. Before we get back to 527 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:09.240 the article, please weigh in. 528 00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.160 Giving your pump gas your gas pumped is life.

It was beautiful and I missed it every 531 00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:22.799 day of my life. 532 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.200 Yes, of course Oregon would have that way.

And that kind 601 00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:10.599 of killed a couple birds with one stone. It allowed 602 00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:14.880 the companies, the gas companies to have fewer employees, the 603 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:19.519 like they only need one person inside and one person outside. 604 00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:23.000 So the same thing with the walmartself checkout. Once they 605 00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:26.000 implement and realize how much money they could save on manpower, 606 00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:27.960 they just said, screw it, this is the only thing 607 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.960 we have now. Well yeah, there's that. Well and then 608 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:32.759 two the other thing. 609 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:36.839 It did, I mean you can, I mean it's a benefit, 610 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.200 but from a negative. 611 00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:40.960 Result is that there were. 612 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:47.440 It allowed more gas stations to stay open twenty four hours. Yeah, 613 00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:52.960 because what happens after dark is the inside is still locked. 614 00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:56.119 But you like go at you you can either do 615 00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:00.559 everything yourself from the pump or you go up to 616 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:05.480 the thing as like, hey, sixty dollars on pump whatever, yeah, 617 00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:11.680 and not cut So it's fucking Portland. It ships Portland. 618 00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:14.240 So we are gonna be talking about Portland a little 619 00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:16.839 bit later in this episode. But to that point, I 620 00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:20.640 can understand the how nice that is, right, And I've 621 00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:22.480 had my gas pump for me when I swun through 622 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:24.559 New Jersey before. I didn't realize that it was a 623 00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.480 state law. I told them, oh, no, you're good, Like, no, seriously, 624 00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:29.640 we have to pump your gas. I need you to 625 00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:31.240 get back in your car. And I was like, first 626 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.359 of all, mister gas station attendant, I don't like your 627 00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.160 tone that you're taking with me. But okay, if it 628 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.240 is a state law, well I was pumping my gas. 629 00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:42.519 I looked it up. Yes, that's a legitimate like by law. 630 00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:44.519 I would have gotten in trouble and so did the 631 00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.519 gas station if I would have pumped my own gas. 632 00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:51.000 I feel like that's an infringement on freedom. But like, okay, fine, fine, fine, 633 00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.240 it is nice to not have to get out of 634 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:55.519 your car to pump your own gas, very similar to 635 00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:58.079 when you go get your five minute ol change. It's 636 00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:00.160 nice to not have to climb under your car and 637 00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:03.599 do that. I can appreciate the niceties and the ease 638 00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:07.000 and comfort of it. I fully get this, but it 639 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.239 just sounds wild to me, especially now that you're saying that, y'all. 640 00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:14.679 Y'all's main one of one of the issues is that 641 00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:18.679 people driving off with the nozzle still in their fuel 642 00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:22.480 tank was so prevalent that they had to implement a 643 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:26.719 actual statewide law. This is and I'm not shitting on 644 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:29.840 the people of Oregon, but that sounds like some Darwinism 645 00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:33.039 needs to happen to a certain demographic of people. I 646 00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:35.599 have been pumping my own gas since I was fifteen 647 00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:37.440 years old, and even before that, I've been pumping my 648 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.000 parents' gas. Never once in the history of my entire 649 00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:44.639 life have I even come close to driving off without 650 00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:49.800 putting the nozzle back. That's scary that there's that many 651 00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:51.800 adults that were doing that to where that was an 652 00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:55.360 actual conversation piece for the passing of this legislation. 653 00:34:55.559 --> 00:35:00.559 But living in when I am a firm believer, we 654 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:05.000 need to if we just removed all the warning labels 655 00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:09.840 off of everything, Yeah, for a year, one singular year. 656 00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:11.360 You don't have to go beyond that. 657 00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:17.239 One year, at least sixty percent of the problems we 658 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:21.320 are facing would be solved because nature would take its course. 659 00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:24.039 I can't disagree with this, bro, And it's not just 660 00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:28.039 organ I wouldn't even have a problem with doing that worldwide, nationwide, 661 00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:31.960 for sure, you know, just one year. Like blenders, you know, 662 00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:36.960 the little glass bottle with spinning blades inside, if I 663 00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.320 have to put a warning label on the box to 664 00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:41.280 tell you not to stick your hand inside of that, 665 00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:44.960 then I feel like maybe just a little trial and 666 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:47.360 error might just set it off, you know what I mean. 667 00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:51.559 I know that I'm just a heartless ultra capitalist for this, 668 00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:55.880 but I agree with your statement. Especially ladders, Bro. I 669 00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:58.719 can't find a ladder without thirty five warning labels on 670 00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.119 it because people don't understand and that like when you 671 00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:04.880 go up to a height, there's a danger of gravity 672 00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:09.280 happening whenever you know it's it's just man, I'm with you, 673 00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:12.960 I'm with you, Sam, your hand was raised first, go ahead. 674 00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:19.960 Talking about the warning labels. And I've actually seen somebody. 675 00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:23.639 I actually had to stop a h a guy who's 676 00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:26.079 older than me.

But all right, let's move on, Tony, 730 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:53.000 go ahead, brother. 731 00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:54.280 Yeah. 732 00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:57.920 Speaking of unusual state laws regarding filling gas, anybody filled 733 00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:00.800 gas in Wisconsin because I was to try to pay 734 00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:02.639 there one time and they said, no, no, you fill 735 00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:04.840 your tank first and then you pay at the end. 736 00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:08.599 And then there's these signs everywhere saying harsh punishment if 737 00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:11.199 you drive off without paying. And I'm like, every other 738 00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.679 state has solved this, you pay first, and not Wisconsin. 739 00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:17.599 You just you feel first and then you pay. And 740 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:20.159 I was in Germany and they do the same thing there, 741 00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.440 and it's like, Wow, there's a lot of trust here. 742 00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:26.639 So much trust in the population. But I mean, to 743 00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:29.440 be fair, I don't think I've ever met an unkind 744 00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:35.360 person from Wisconsin. They're all like just the nicest, kindest 745 00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:42.199 Northwestern or north midwesternest people ever, is that I didn't know. 746 00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:44.679 I didn't know that that's pay after. 747 00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.159 Yeah, that's how it wasn't twenty ten anyway. That's the 748 00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:50.320 only time I've ever been there. The other interesting place 749 00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:52.559 I've been it was Mexico with my parents and they 750 00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.719 were filling up their station wagon with diesel and this 751 00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:57.599 is one of those pomps that goes really really fast, 752 00:39:57.639 --> 00:39:59.760 and we're like, oh man, how many leaders pay soos 753 00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:01.559 what I? And I said, I think we need three 754 00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:04.639 hundred pesos worth of diesel, and then my dad pulled 755 00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:08.320 the trigger and it rocketed up to three forty four, 756 00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:09.440 and the attendant came. 757 00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:10.559 Out, I ain't kid. 758 00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:15.960 Yeah, I had to keep sticking of and I was like, oh, sorry, sorry, 759 00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:18.840 we just didn't know. Doesn't it cut off automatically? No, 760 00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:21.519 it just fills all the way past what you paid there? 761 00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:23.639 And I why would they do that here? This seems 762 00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:26.280 like a low trust society, but you would think, you know, 763 00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:28.920 you fill yourself there. It's like, sorry, I didn't know. 764 00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:31.719 I wasn't you know metering it out hit to hit 765 00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:32.760 three hundred exactly. 766 00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:35.840 That's insane. But then another insane thing. You just said 767 00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:37.679 your station wagon took diesel. 768 00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:41.079 Oh yeah, it was an eighty two Mercedes best car ever, 769 00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:45.360 you know. Nissan Maxima also made a diesel wagon, and 770 00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:48.960 diesel's all over in Europe, but unfortunately not here. 771 00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:54.039 I wish diesel would become more prevalently used in our country. 772 00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:57.360 But yeah, it's it is a thing. Wow, And I 773 00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:59.679 didn't know Mexico is like that. Typically, you you pay 774 00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:01.559 them out and it stops at the proper mount. It 775 00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:07.000 doesn't just rocking. Okay, wow, people just be out here, 776 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:09.679 live in their wildest you know. Anyway, A right, So 777 00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:12.960 let's get back to the flotilla conversation. God, we took 778 00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:16.639 many side tangents there. The interception of the flotilla has 779 00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:20.199 sparked global outrage, with protests erupting in Germany and Italy, 780 00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:24.000 with demonstrations taking to the streets with free Palestine banners. 781 00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:29.599 Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced that all Israeli diplomats in 782 00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:31.920 Colombia will be leaving the country following the blocking of 783 00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:35.039 the flotilla, while the Spanish Foreign Ministry said it was 784 00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:38.920 fully mobilized to provide all diplomatic and consular protection to 785 00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:44.360 our citizens. Interesting on Monday, nearly twenty, Democrat members of 786 00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:47.639 Congress called on President Trump to do everything in your 787 00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:50.199 power to ensure the safety of the flotilla and its 788 00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:54.000 unarmed civilian passengers, while also addressing the issue at the 789 00:41:54.119 --> 00:41:57.320 root of the voyage. Spain and Italy also said they 790 00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:59.719 would send navy ships to the area of the flotilla 791 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:03.199 after activists said they were attacked by drones near Greece, 792 00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:07.119 reported the Associated Press. Although some vessels were damaged, no 793 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:10.840 injuries were reported. We have another clip here. I want 794 00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:13.760 to say, this is Greta getting arrested. Let's check it out. 795 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:25.480 There's no sound on this video, but oh here, yeah, 796 00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:27.400 so that was Greta. I guess getting ready to get 797 00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:29.280 off the flotilla. There was a troop there with the 798 00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:32.000 at least I would assume that's an idea of soldier. 799 00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:36.239 He's wearing a flack in kevlar. So anyway. Meanwhile, Israel 800 00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:39.039 has val to block the flotilla from reaching Gaza, arguing 801 00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:42.800 that an attempt to bypass the naval blockade violates international 802 00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:46.800 law and could support Hamas Obviously what people are saying 803 00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:50.199 Global s Mud flotilla said it in a post on Instagram. 804 00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:53.960 On Wednesday is a direct quote. The Israeli occupation navy 805 00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:56.960 forces are using active aggression on the global s mud 806 00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:02.440 flotilla Florida Florida vessel. I think that might have meant 807 00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:05.599 to say a flotilla vessel. Oh, the name of the 808 00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:08.400 vessel might be Florida, I don't know, has been deliberately 809 00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:12.400 rammed at sea. Yolaura, Metique and others have been targeted 810 00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:17.039 with water cannons. These illegal actions on unarmed humanitarian ships 811 00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:20.280 is a war crime. All passengers on board are unharmed. 812 00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:25.800 So that being said, when Greenpeace uses water cannons at 813 00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:29.719 ship of fishing vessels and things, is that seen as 814 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:35.400 a illegal attacks on unarmed ships? I don't know. I'm 815 00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:38.400 not an expert of maritime law, but all right now, 816 00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:41.679 Greta Thumberg said in a social media post last month, 817 00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:44.960 Israel is systematically starving and bombing millions of people, aiming 818 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:48.239 to erase an entire population as a continuation of decades 819 00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:53.719 of occupation, apartheid and deadly oppression. That's not inherently true, 820 00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:56.039 but again, if you look at the humanitarian crisis going 821 00:43:56.079 --> 00:44:00.280 on there, it's not it's yeah, under international laws, dates 822 00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:03.800 have legally legal obligations to act to stop this in 823 00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:07.719 their compliccency and apply real pressure. They are not just 824 00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:10.960 completely failing to live up to those obligations, but actively 825 00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.480 choosing not to. That is why we are sailing to 826 00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:17.280 step up our racist people to step up when our 827 00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:20.280 racist people in power failed to do so. We are 828 00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:23.039 sailing to challenge structures unable to prevent these war crimes 829 00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:25.159 from happening, not just in Gaza, but all over the world. 830 00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:27.719 We are sailing for world free of all kinds of 831 00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:32.039 racism and oppression. They gotta throw the buzzwords. They got 832 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:34.239 to throw the buzzwords. That is how this goes. We 833 00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:37.280 talked about what the Columbian president says, a group of 834 00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:40.559 Democratic senators, we talked about them, and we talked about 835 00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:44.400 what the Israeli Foreign Minister wrote on X. So what 836 00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:48.119 happens next? I guess we'll see. This happened this today 837 00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:50.159 as of time of recording, So there's going to be 838 00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:52.920 a lot of things that come of this. With this 839 00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:55.480 being said, and we're still talking Middle Eastern kinds of 840 00:44:55.519 --> 00:45:00.519 conversation here. Associated Press report Iran begins rebuilding miss sites, 841 00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:05.599 but key component is missing. Now I should give the misnomer. 842 00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:10.840 Little disclaimer here, they are claiming that they are rebuilding 843 00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:17.840 their nuclear energy sites, not their missile sites. But depending 844 00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:20.440 on the source that you read, you don't need yellow 845 00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:24.360 cake in order to make nuclear power. So if you're 846 00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:27.239 going through the process of making yellow cake, one could 847 00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:30.400 reasonably assume that that is going to be used for 848 00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:35.119 other purposes. But let's dig in here in Dubai, this 849 00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:38.840 is where this report comes from. Iran has begun rebuilding 850 00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:41.920 missile production sites targeted by Israel during its twelve day 851 00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:46.320 war in June. Satellite images analyze the Associated Press show 852 00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:49.320 but a key component is likely still missing, the large 853 00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:53.559 mixers needed to produce solid fuel for the weapons. Reconstituting 854 00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:56.320 the missile program is crucial for the Islamic Republic, which 855 00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:59.960 believes another round of war with Israel may have happen. 856 00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:04.280 The missiles are of one of Iran's few military deterrens 857 00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:08.440 after the war decimated its air defense systems, something that 858 00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:12.400 Tehran long has insisted will never be included in negotiations 859 00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:15.599 with the West. Missile experts told AP that obtaining the 860 00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:19.199 mixers is a goal for Tehran, particularly as it prepares 861 00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:22.480 for possible UN sanctions to be reimposed on the country 862 00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:26.159 later this month. It's not later this month where that's 863 00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:28.599 the next art we're we're going to talk about. The 864 00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:32.880 sanctions would penalize any development of missile programs, among other measures. 865 00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:36.159 In address to the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, Iranian 866 00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:41.719 President Musad Pseshk Pezeshkin blamed the Israeli attacks on the 867 00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:45.199 separate US bombing oh and the separate US bombing of 868 00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:50.599 Iran nuclear sites for dealing a grievous blow to peace negotiations. 869 00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:55.320 So them bombing the nuclear sites of a nation that 870 00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:58.360 goes out of its way to support known terrorist groups 871 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:03.440 bits on peace negotiat all right. Known as planetary mixers, 872 00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:06.760 the machines feature blades that revolve around a center point, 873 00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:09.840 like orbiting planets, and offer better mixing action than other 874 00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:13.119 types of equipment. Iran could purchase them from China, where 875 00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:17.119 experts and US officials say they've purchased missile fuel ingredients 876 00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:20.239 and other components in the past, which absolutely they have. 877 00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:25.039 If they're able to reacquire some key things like planetary mixers, 878 00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:27.800 then that infrastructure is still there and ready to get 879 00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:31.519 rolling again, said Sam Lair, a research associate at the 880 00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:35.480 James Martin Center for Non Proliferation Studies who studied Iranian 881 00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:39.880 missile sites. Iran's mission to the United Nations did not 882 00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:43.119 respond to questions about the country's efforts to rebuild the 883 00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:47.719 missile program. And then we talked about Israeli. They had 884 00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:51.039 a war that targeted solid fuel missile sites. Everybody knows 885 00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:54.239 about the Twelve Day War. Nothing new there. Chinese mixers 886 00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:57.880 are seen at a Syria missile site affiliated with Iran. 887 00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:00.800 Now Iran may choose to rely on China to obtain 888 00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:04.599 mixers and the chemicals to make solid fuel. Such chemicals 889 00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:06.840 may have caused a massive explosion in April that killed 890 00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:09.599 at least seventy people out of port in Iran. Iran 891 00:48:09.679 --> 00:48:12.599 has still not explained the blast, which happened as its 892 00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:17.119 diplomats met with Americans in Oman over its nuclear program. 893 00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:20.480 Just days after the explosion, the US State Department sanctioned 894 00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:24.000 Chinese firms it said provided the Islamic Republic with ballistic 895 00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:27.159 missile propellant ingredients. And if I'm not mistaken, we actually 896 00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.880 talked about that on a previous episode of The Cajun Night. Meanwhile, 897 00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:34.280 Iran's Revolutionary Guard likely supplied a planetary mixer to an 898 00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:38.039 underground ballistic missile construction facility in Syria near the town 899 00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:42.119 of Massiaf some one hundred and seventy kilometers or one 900 00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:45.280 hundred and fifty Freedom Units are one hundred and five 901 00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:48.760 rather Freedom units north of the capitol of Damascus, near 902 00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:52.199 the Lebanese border. Footage released by the Israeli military months 903 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:54.960 after the September twenty twenty four raid on the facility 904 00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:58.960 showed the mixer, which boy resemblance to others sold online 905 00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:02.840 by the Chinese firms. Iran's president and military officials visited 906 00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:07.760 Beijing earlier this month for China's Victory Day parade. I 907 00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:10.280 don't know what they're celebrating victory over, but they show 908 00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:13.639 enough have a victory Day parade. Iran's government has provided 909 00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:19.239 no detailed readout on what Pezeshkian said to the Chinese 910 00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:23.159 president Ji and China state run media offered no indications 911 00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:25.880 that Tehran as for help. So they're saying that it's 912 00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:28.599 possible that they will buy some things from China. It's 913 00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:31.800 not a guarantee. But with that being said, Iran is 914 00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:34.800 saying that if they continue these things, they may experience 915 00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:38.480 more sanctions and with that being said, you and impose 916 00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:42.280 a snapback sanctions on Iran over nuclear program. This is 917 00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:44.679 from three days ago. Let's watch this together. 918 00:49:46.440 --> 00:49:49.880 Sweeping United Nations sanctions on Iran over its long contested 919 00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:54.400 nuclear program have just been put into place. These sanctions 920 00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:58.280 will target Iran's ballistic missile program as well as senior 921 00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:01.719 leadership within the Islamic public, and it comes as part 922 00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:04.639 of Iran's twenty fifteen nuclear deal with world powers, which 923 00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:08.159 created a mechanism by which any party to that deal 924 00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:11.920 could declare Iran in non compliance. Now, France, Germany, and 925 00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:14.840 the United Kingdom put these sanctions into place after a 926 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:17.760 thirty day window. They say that Iran hadn't done enough 927 00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:22.039 to negotiate with the West and also hadn't opened up 928 00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:26.760 its program to United Nations nuclear inspectors after its war 929 00:50:26.880 --> 00:50:30.840 in June with Israel. Now, Iran maintains that the implementation 930 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:34.239 of these sanctions is not allowed. They say they're doing 931 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:38.239 a lot to negotiate with the West. However, the European 932 00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:41.760 nations note that Iran has been enriching uranium to a 933 00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:45.920 level far beyond that which any other peaceful program does. 934 00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:48.599 Moving forward, it remains unclear just how Iran is going 935 00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:51.000 to react to this. Some within the country have said 936 00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:54.360 that Iran should withdraw from the Nuclear non Proliferation Treaty. 937 00:50:54.679 --> 00:50:58.519 Others have hinted that Iran could rush towards a nuclear weapon. 938 00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:02.320 But as of right now, Iran is waking up to 939 00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:05.719 a new world in which these sanctions are reimposed. Aron's 940 00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:08.960 economy is already ailing, and what it does moving forward 941 00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:12.639 could see tensions rice further in a Middle East already 942 00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:15.920 on edge over the Israel Hamas war in the Gaza strip. 943 00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:19.039 All right, now, let's read in here. This is an 944 00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:23.000 article from The Hill. US targets Iran's nuclear program with 945 00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:26.800 new sanctions. Again. This was actually released today as a 946 00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:30.400 time of recording this afternoon. You know what, let's see here, 947 00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:33.159 there's another quick clip. I wonder if there's actually gonna 948 00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:40.960 be decent sound on this One's listen. It's not gonna 949 00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:42.559 have any kind of real wording. It's just words at 950 00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:45.199 the bottom. Let's read about it. The Trump administration on 951 00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:47.719 Wednesday today, as a ton of recording, announced a new 952 00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:51.280 round of sanctions on Iran in support of snapback United 953 00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:54.400 Nations Security Council penalties on the country that mark the 954 00:51:54.440 --> 00:51:58.000 formal end of the Obama era nuclear Deal. Secretary of 955 00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:01.280 State Marco Rubio said that the US is designated is 956 00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:05.800 designating dozens of individuals and entities involved in Iran's nuclear program, 957 00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:10.360 its weapons procurement network, and military aircraft programs. The US 958 00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:13.800 is also adding a new export restrictions on twenty six 959 00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:17.639 entities and three addresses linked to Iran's procurement efforts. The 960 00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:21.480 secretary said, the United States today announced the imposition of 961 00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:24.440 sanctions in support of the snap back and UN sanctions. 962 00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:27.000 This is a direct quote from Rubio, pretty much reiterating 963 00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:29.639 what I just said. The action announced today shows that 964 00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:33.360 Iran is actively attempting to procure components and technologies in 965 00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:36.800 support of its proliferation programs. The move by the US 966 00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:40.159 follows a decision by France, Germany, and the United Kingdom 967 00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:44.079 to invoke the snapback mechanism to reimpose UN Security Council 968 00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:47.800 sanctions on around over its nuclear program. The three European 969 00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:50.880 countries face in October deadline to reimpose sanctions under the 970 00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:55.159 terms of the twenty fifteen Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, 971 00:52:55.679 --> 00:53:01.559 also known as the Iran Nuclear Deal. President Trump withdrew 972 00:53:01.599 --> 00:53:06.239 the US from the Joint I'm sorry. The JCPOA as 973 00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:10.199 the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in twenty nineteen, and 974 00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:13.199 Iran remained a party to the agreement until twenty twenty. 975 00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:17.079 While Trump earlier this year engaged in Iran engaged Iran 976 00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:20.320 in talks over the nuclear program, the president Joint Israeli 977 00:53:20.320 --> 00:53:24.280 strikes against Iran's nuclear program in June. Trump's Special Envoy 978 00:53:24.360 --> 00:53:27.159 for the Peace Missions, Steve Whitkoff, said last week the 979 00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:30.280 US is still talking with Iran. Over the past six years, 980 00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:34.280 the three European countries sought to keep the JCPOA alive 981 00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:37.000 and negotiate with Iran to return to the terms of 982 00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:40.559 the deal. The country's delayed invoking the snapback mechanism until 983 00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:44.840 the last possible moment on September twenty ninth. The reimposition 984 00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:47.599 of UN sanctions is not the end of diplomacy, the 985 00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:50.960 country said. In a statement on Monday, These three countries 986 00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:54.199 said we urge Iran to refrain from any escalatory action 987 00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:58.599 and return to the compliance with its legally binding safeguards obligation. 988 00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:01.239 The E three will con continue to work with all 989 00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:04.360 parties towards a new diplomatic solution to ensure Iran never 990 00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:08.559 gets a nuclear weapon. So yeah, the sanctions on Iran 991 00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:10.920 are back on the menu, and they have no intentions 992 00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:14.760 of slowing down anytime soon. So with that being said, 993 00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:17.800 let's move on to another conversation here. I don't know 994 00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:22.079 how many people heard about the Russian submarine that sent 995 00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:26.000 up an SOS signal. There's a Russian nuclear sub that 996 00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:30.599 was traveling through the Strait of Gibraltar. Something happened, something 997 00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:33.719 cataclysmic happened on the submarine. This is four days ago 998 00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:36.840 this video is released. They sent up an SOS signal 999 00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:39.239 and the British, as a matter of fact, were on 1000 00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:41.280 their way to try to help. There was a little 1001 00:54:41.280 --> 00:54:43.920 bit of some contention. But let's learn about this together. 1002 00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:45.719 This is a video talking about it, and then we're 1003 00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:47.360 going to read an article. Let's get into it. 1004 00:54:47.639 --> 00:54:51.159 A Russian submarine capable of carrying nuclear weapons suffered a 1005 00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:55.400 serious accident in the Mediterranean. According to reports, fuel is 1006 00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:57.880 now said to be leaking from Putin's two hundred and 1007 00:54:57.880 --> 00:55:03.199 forty two foot kilo class submarine Novorossiska, creating an explosive hazard. 1008 00:55:03.559 --> 00:55:06.440 The submarine was reportedly spotted surfaced in the Strait of 1009 00:55:06.440 --> 00:55:10.119 Gibraltar this week. A Russian telegram channel which has links 1010 00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:12.880 to spooks and other insiders with more than three hundred 1011 00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:16.199 thirty thousand subscribers, reported that fuel is accumulating in the 1012 00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:18.679 hold and the sub is at risk of explosion. The 1013 00:55:18.760 --> 00:55:20.559 crew may have no choice but to pump out the 1014 00:55:20.559 --> 00:55:24.920 hold directly into the sea. The report added it read Novorossisk, 1015 00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:28.840 currently on combat duty in the Mediterranean Sea, is experiencing 1016 00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:32.239 serious technical problems due to damage in the fuel system. 1017 00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:35.239 Fuel is leaking directly into the hold. There are no 1018 00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:38.760 spare parts for repairs or qualified specialists on the submarine, 1019 00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:42.199 and the crew is unable to fix the malfunctions. The 1020 00:55:42.239 --> 00:55:46.199 serious accident has caused other problems as well. The accumulated 1021 00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:49.480 fuel in the hold is an explosive hazard. The source 1022 00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:52.079 believes the crew has no choice but to start pumping 1023 00:55:52.119 --> 00:55:55.559 out the hold directly into the sea. The channel, which 1024 00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:59.320 specializes in leaks from the Russian security services and law enforcement, 1025 00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:01.559 gave no further details on the incident. 1026 00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:03.159 The incident is. 1027 00:56:03.079 --> 00:56:06.760 A chilling echo of the Course submarine disaster, which sank 1028 00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:10.360 after exploding in an accident on August twelfth, two thousand 1029 00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:12.280 in the Barren Sea. 1030 00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:16.760 We talked about that situation with that Russian submarine. I 1031 00:56:16.760 --> 00:56:18.280 want to say just a couple of weeks ago as 1032 00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:21.199 a matter of fact, but either way it goes. So, 1033 00:56:21.360 --> 00:56:25.440 this submarine was on combat duty quote unquote in the 1034 00:56:25.480 --> 00:56:31.320 Mediterranean Sea and when this took place. Per maritime international law, 1035 00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:35.960 all countries that received the SOA signal have to buy 1036 00:56:36.119 --> 00:56:39.239 obligation of maritime law have to help if there is 1037 00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:41.480 a ship or some sort of a vessel in need 1038 00:56:41.599 --> 00:56:45.079 like this. So I think it's actually kind of a 1039 00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:48.000 cool thing that NATO nations are still willing to help 1040 00:56:48.360 --> 00:56:51.079 a Russian sub if they come in some sort of 1041 00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:54.599 a situation. But let's read more about it here. Russia. 1042 00:56:54.719 --> 00:56:58.280 This is from the Economic Times. The Russian attack submarine 1043 00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:01.760 suffered serious malfunctions at risk of explosion in the Mediterranean. 1044 00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:09.920 The Russian Kilo class diesel electric attack submarine no novarusic. Yeah, 1045 00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:12.159 I don't speak. The Russian part of Russia's Black Sea 1046 00:57:12.159 --> 00:57:14.920 fleet and currently on combat duty in the Mediterranean Sea, 1047 00:57:14.960 --> 00:57:18.760 is reportedly facing a severe technical malfunction involving a fuel 1048 00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:22.320 leak that has created a significant explosion risk. The two 1049 00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:24.840 hundred and forty two foot submarine manned by a crew 1050 00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:27.519 of fifty two was forced above water near the Strait 1051 00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:30.760 of Gibraltar recently after technical issues forced it above water. 1052 00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:33.239 Reports from the Sun indicate damage of the vessel's fuel 1053 00:57:33.239 --> 00:57:36.320 system that caused the fuel to leak directly into the hold, 1054 00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:41.719 accumulating and creating a volatile situation inside the sub. Now 1055 00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:45.800 the television channel a lot of letters there, known for 1056 00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:49.199 its insider information from Russian security and law enforcement agencies 1057 00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:51.639 warned that the crew's only option maybe to pump the 1058 00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:55.400 accumulating fuel directly into the Mediterranean Sea to prevent a 1059 00:57:55.440 --> 00:57:59.280 catastrophic explosion. The sub is known to have the capability 1060 00:57:59.280 --> 00:58:02.760 of carrying a new your capable caliber cruise missile, representing 1061 00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:06.280 a critical component of the Black Sea Fleet's offensive capabilities. 1062 00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:09.920 The submarine can remain submerged for forty five days, underscoring 1063 00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:16.280 its strategic value only forty five days. I mean, all right, 1064 00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:18.480 I'm sure that Russia also has some subs that are 1065 00:58:18.519 --> 00:58:22.440 capable of doing like longer stints. But all right, that's 1066 00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:25.320 a thing, I guess. I mean, they're saying that it's 1067 00:58:25.320 --> 00:58:27.840 a diesel electric sub. It's not a nuclear powered sub 1068 00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:32.199 They're saying that it's capable of carrying the caliber missiles. 1069 00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:36.000 So yeah, okay, nuclear sub doesn't mean nuclear powered on 1070 00:58:36.039 --> 00:58:39.320 this one. Fair enough. The incident draws unnerving parallels to 1071 00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:43.639 the two thousand Kursk submarine disaster, where faulty torpedo propulsion 1072 00:58:43.719 --> 00:58:46.920 led to explosions that sank the Oscar two class submarine 1073 00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:50.000 and killed one hundred and eighteen sailors aboard. Moving on, 1074 00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:53.679 it says British Royal Navy officials have closely monitored the sub, 1075 00:58:53.920 --> 00:58:57.599 which was involved in regional deployments, including earlier patrols through 1076 00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:02.480 the English Channel. Additional region tensions accompanying the submarine's technical woes. 1077 00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:06.079 A Ukrainian drone strike recently targeted the Russian port city 1078 00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:12.239 of Novorosisk, killing two and prompting a state of emergency declaration. However, 1079 00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:16.119 port infrastructure remained largely intact and oil and grain exports 1080 00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:19.880 continue with minimal disruption. The sub shares its class with 1081 00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:27.000 the rostov On Dawn submarine, reportedly destroyed by Ukrainian forces 1082 00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:29.960 in August of twenty twenty four. Both submarines serve as 1083 00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:34.960 key assets with Russia's nuclear capable submarine fleet. Some just 1084 00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:36.760 wanted to bring this up as far as the international 1085 00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:40.639 news is concerned, Russian submarine had some issues they surfaced. 1086 00:59:40.840 --> 00:59:43.000 The crew is fine. Don't know how long it's going 1087 00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:46.519 to take for them to actually get this fixed, especially 1088 00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:50.039 as they are ported in a NATO country and NATO 1089 00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:53.280 has all the kind of sanctions and barriers between anything 1090 00:59:53.360 --> 00:59:57.599 dealing with Russia. Now that being said, the Russian naval 1091 00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:01.280 base in Syria right now, I would believe would be 1092 01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:04.360 where this sub would be trying to get back to 1093 01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:08.039 to get the repairs made. Perhaps Russia will be able 1094 01:00:08.079 --> 01:00:10.000 to send out another boat to give this one a 1095 01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:12.000 tow to bring it back to the port and it 1096 01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:15.760 could be you know, fixed in a timely manner. I 1097 01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:18.480 don't know. I do know that this is a pretty 1098 01:00:18.519 --> 01:00:21.159 major blow to the Russian naval assets in this region 1099 01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:24.639 by a long shot. Moving on to the next course 1100 01:00:24.679 --> 01:00:30.119 of action. Oh, y'all, y'all, I wish this was a joke. 1101 01:00:31.199 --> 01:00:33.719 I wish this was a joke. As we're talking about 1102 01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:36.079 the English that we're willing to help Russia in their 1103 01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:40.679 time of need. England has turmoil right now between their 1104 01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:46.679 Muslim refugee inhabitants and their English born and bred inhabitants. 1105 01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:51.639 So now they are trying to outlaw first cousin marriages. 1106 01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:57.719 You heard me right. England has had first cousin marriages 1107 01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:02.840 legal precedent since nineteen forty, but they recently tried enacting 1108 01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:06.719 a law to make them illegal. You have two sides 1109 01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:10.440 of Parliament right now. Half of them are saying that 1110 01:01:10.639 --> 01:01:14.079 this is obviously what needs to happen, because marrying and 1111 01:01:14.159 --> 01:01:17.079 having children with your first cousin could lead to some 1112 01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:19.880 serious birth defects and like, why are we even having 1113 01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:24.000 this conversation. The other half is saying that removing this 1114 01:01:24.199 --> 01:01:31.280 would be morally reprehensible and racist, ambigoted towards the Muslim 1115 01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:34.719 population that's currently living in England, because this is a 1116 01:01:34.760 --> 01:01:38.320 thing that they do so heavily and prevalently. And if 1117 01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:40.679 you think that I am speaking on behalf of myself here, 1118 01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:45.079 let's listen to the MPs discuss it themselves. Check this out. 1119 01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:48.599 A ban on first cousin marriages could come into place 1120 01:01:48.639 --> 01:01:51.679 in the UK. Conservative MP Richard Holden called for the 1121 01:01:51.679 --> 01:01:54.760 ban in Parliament today, saying children of first cousins were 1122 01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:58.800 at greater risk of birth defects, but independent MP Ikuba 1123 01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:02.199 Muhammad said, instead of stigmatizing those in because of marriages, 1124 01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:05.719 there should be further education for people from communities where 1125 01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:09.079 these marriages are accepted. A band on first. 1126 01:02:09.000 --> 01:02:13.400 Yes, yes, Ikbon Mohammad has taken to the stand and said, no, 1127 01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:16.960 you cannot outlaw first cousin marriage. This is all right 1128 01:02:17.079 --> 01:02:21.679 by HeLa and uh yeah, it's it's it's that wild. 1129 01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:24.280 It's literally that wild. Sam, I see your hand raise, 1130 01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:27.360 go ahead. I'm afraid of what you're about to say, 1131 01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:28.920 by the way, but please weigh in. 1132 01:02:31.079 --> 01:02:31.760 I'm sorry. 1133 01:02:36.079 --> 01:02:38.320 When I first heard this, because I heard this earlier today, 1134 01:02:38.360 --> 01:02:40.960 the first thing I thought my mind was damp down, 1135 01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:43.320 damp now. 1136 01:02:43.599 --> 01:02:45.440 And then I was like, no, I can't even do that. 1137 01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:49.239 That's that's disrespecting Leonard Skinner. How dare I can't do that? 1138 01:02:49.239 --> 01:02:49.760 That's a sin? 1139 01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:52.920 How about ding ding ding ding? 1140 01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:56.599 I got a banjo. I don't know the motherfucker yet, 1141 01:02:56.639 --> 01:02:57.480 but I got a banjo. 1142 01:02:57.960 --> 01:02:58.199 Now. 1143 01:02:58.639 --> 01:03:02.360 The massed up thing is the the first pick image 1144 01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:07.239 I after that I pictured was Hassan and his uncle 1145 01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:11.800 Chank because uh, Hassan's grandparents are first cousins, and that's 1146 01:03:11.800 --> 01:03:12.400 why he looked. 1147 01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:14.960 That's probably why he so fucking retarded. 1148 01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:19.920 It could be, honestly, And then what's the what's her name, 1149 01:03:20.079 --> 01:03:26.480 she's the congresswoman oman Omar. Yeah, that she married brother 1150 01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:30.480 to get America, Yeah, to get past this to the 1151 01:03:30.519 --> 01:03:34.119 United States. She married her brother. And people sidestep that 1152 01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:36.760 this is a real thing in that culture and this 1153 01:03:36.840 --> 01:03:37.840 is a problem. 1154 01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:39.880 This is a real question, dude. 1155 01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:47.000 They also you gotta keep in mind that there's there 1156 01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:53.280 is that there is laws here, thank god, But they 1157 01:03:55.280 --> 01:03:57.480 this is the same groups of people that that that 1158 01:03:57.679 --> 01:04:01.559 they believe. Besides marying six year old, you can have 1159 01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:03.880 relations with a goat and be okay. 1160 01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:07.440 Now, it depends on country to country and culture to culture. 1161 01:04:07.559 --> 01:04:09.440 But if we are going to look at the stats 1162 01:04:09.440 --> 01:04:12.639 and figures, yes, this is a thing that people of 1163 01:04:12.679 --> 01:04:15.800 a certain religious faith deemed to be acceptable. 1164 01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:20.039 But sure enough, I was shown a video phone like 1165 01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:20.840 my my. 1166 01:04:22.559 --> 01:04:24.360 Staff in c O. Cool guy. 1167 01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:27.559 Oh, he showed me a video that he personally took 1168 01:04:27.599 --> 01:04:29.519 when he was looking at on a bail of a 1169 01:04:29.639 --> 01:04:35.840 rifle at night with the fucking but it ain't the 1170 01:04:35.880 --> 01:04:40.559 heat sources I r Yeah, yeah, I ain't good with 1171 01:04:40.679 --> 01:04:42.239 the I ain't good with. 1172 01:04:42.280 --> 01:04:50.320 The he and I legitimate he showed the entire squad 1173 01:04:50.400 --> 01:04:54.280 like the tire of male side and I was just like, 1174 01:04:55.440 --> 01:04:57.559 why didn't you shoot the goat and to put the 1175 01:04:57.599 --> 01:04:58.079 goat out of it? 1176 01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:00.559 Because you can't hear it? Belton and all, hey you do. 1177 01:05:00.639 --> 01:05:03.000 You got to pay them like two thousand American dollars. 1178 01:05:03.079 --> 01:05:07.400 It's a thing, I know, I know, because you're taking 1179 01:05:07.440 --> 01:05:08.800 away food from their table. 1180 01:05:10.719 --> 01:05:12.880 They're gonna fuck it, then gut it, then eat it. 1181 01:05:13.119 --> 01:05:14.920 I guess it makes them eat more tender big dog. 1182 01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:17.840 I don't know. I don't know. What I will say 1183 01:05:17.920 --> 01:05:21.960 is as far as this culture quote unquote, there's a 1184 01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:26.000 reason why if anybody has ever seen videos of American 1185 01:05:26.039 --> 01:05:29.840 troops in Afghanistan trying to train the UH the AA, 1186 01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:34.360 and these dudes were like incapable of doing jumping jacks. 1187 01:05:34.679 --> 01:05:38.159 There's a reason because when you do this for as 1188 01:05:38.159 --> 01:05:41.039 long as they have been for thousands of years, just 1189 01:05:41.199 --> 01:05:42.639 kind of cut off from the rest of the world, 1190 01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:45.920 you'll get some inbreeding problems. This is this is a 1191 01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:48.679 real thing. Now, before we get into it, I should 1192 01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:52.920 say it is illegal in England for you to marry 1193 01:05:53.079 --> 01:05:56.119 your parents, your aunts or uncles and your brothers and 1194 01:05:56.159 --> 01:06:02.280 sisters like that. Is illegal, but first cousins it is okay, Tony, 1195 01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:04.239 go ahead, Yeah, I. 1196 01:06:04.239 --> 01:06:07.039 Got three thoughts on this. I've brought up my old 1197 01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:10.760 Pakistani co worker in the past and I asked him 1198 01:06:10.760 --> 01:06:12.639 how he met his wife one time. He said it 1199 01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:15.400 was a family reunion. I didn't really know how to 1200 01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:19.039 continue the conversation after that. I'm pretty sure they were 1201 01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:23.039 cousins of some guy. I'm sure maybe people don't know this, 1202 01:06:23.199 --> 01:06:27.119 but Frederick the Great and Albert Einstein were both the 1203 01:06:27.159 --> 01:06:31.119 product of first cousin marriages, So I guess sometimes the 1204 01:06:31.199 --> 01:06:33.239 offspring are pretty successful. 1205 01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:37.239 There's examples of that. The rothschilds, they are not allowed 1206 01:06:37.280 --> 01:06:39.639 to marry outside of their family. They have to marry 1207 01:06:39.679 --> 01:06:41.840 their second cousins. That's how they've kept the wealth in 1208 01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:44.199 the family bloodlines as far as they have. And to 1209 01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:47.400 your point, there's all kinds of examples of royalty marrying 1210 01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:51.079 their family members. Since I'm ancient Egypt even so, like 1211 01:06:51.239 --> 01:06:54.519 that's not unprecedented, but that doesn't make it okay, And 1212 01:06:54.599 --> 01:06:57.000 you could see all of the inherent problems, Like if 1213 01:06:57.039 --> 01:06:59.360 we're talking about ancient Egypt, King Todd had a club 1214 01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:02.000 foot hip dysplasia and a cleft lip because he was 1215 01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:05.159 so inbred. Let's not even talk about the Habsburg jaw, 1216 01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:07.280 like there's there's all of these things. 1217 01:07:07.320 --> 01:07:10.679 But continue, that's the gentleman, not the Spanish, because there's 1218 01:07:10.719 --> 01:07:12.679 two lines of the Hapspogs. 1219 01:07:12.719 --> 01:07:15.159 Just to clarify. 1220 01:07:14.039 --> 01:07:17.519 Fair fair, But anyway, Tony, you had another thought. 1221 01:07:17.559 --> 01:07:20.559 One more thing. Uh, the there used to be a 1222 01:07:20.559 --> 01:07:23.320 lot of incests throughout Europe and Pagan Europe, and the 1223 01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:26.920 Catholic Church really tried to squash it. In the in 1224 01:07:26.960 --> 01:07:30.159 the eleventh century, there was the Council of Verona, and 1225 01:07:30.199 --> 01:07:34.519 it tried to completely outlaw ancestor worship, and it also 1226 01:07:34.639 --> 01:07:38.079 wouldn't let you marry anybody closer than your sixth cousin. 1227 01:07:38.480 --> 01:07:41.679 Sixth is like really hard to track down that right now, 1228 01:07:41.719 --> 01:07:44.480 the rule is third degree is the limit. Yeah, you 1229 01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:47.159 can do fourth degree and because that means you have 1230 01:07:47.280 --> 01:07:50.000 the same great great great grandparent or something like that. 1231 01:07:50.360 --> 01:07:53.960 But the cousins, Yeah, there's no birth defects that will 1232 01:07:53.960 --> 01:07:56.760 happen with the child if you're marrying your third cousin. 1233 01:07:56.800 --> 01:07:59.000 Genetically speaking, the rule is broken at that point. 1234 01:07:59.079 --> 01:08:02.239 But even still, man, yeah, he got like twelve point 1235 01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:04.559 five percent of your DNN Common or something. But they 1236 01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:08.480 were really trying to break the clan power structure of 1237 01:08:08.480 --> 01:08:10.920 Europe at the time where there was lots of incest, 1238 01:08:11.039 --> 01:08:14.239 and the Catholic Church did break that and we've not 1239 01:08:14.360 --> 01:08:16.520 gone back to that luckily. That's all I got. 1240 01:08:16.640 --> 01:08:20.399 But England did. England absolutely did. And like I said, 1241 01:08:20.479 --> 01:08:22.560 it has been the law of the land in England 1242 01:08:22.960 --> 01:08:27.119 to like marrying your first cousin is okay since nineteen 1243 01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:30.680 forty five. So World War two ends and England's like, 1244 01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:33.159 you know, we need to do to help repopulate this island. 1245 01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:37.159 You start hooking up with our cousins. It's like wait, wait, bro, 1246 01:08:37.520 --> 01:08:40.920 you're you're across the English Channel from the rest of Europe. 1247 01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:43.479 Like you don't have to look that far at all, 1248 01:08:43.640 --> 01:08:49.920 but okay, go ahead, Sam. 1249 01:08:49.960 --> 01:08:50.439 Sorry. 1250 01:08:51.159 --> 01:08:55.159 Also, apparently in Alabama you can marry a second cousin. 1251 01:08:55.920 --> 01:08:58.800 Yeah, And they actually faced some litigation issues a couple 1252 01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:01.279 of years ago when they tried to make bality illegal 1253 01:09:02.319 --> 01:09:07.920 there wastates. Well, in Alabama, it was legal up until 1254 01:09:08.039 --> 01:09:13.079 very very recently. Out of seventeen votes of seventeen voters 1255 01:09:13.079 --> 01:09:15.720 that were needed to make this happen, nine of them 1256 01:09:15.800 --> 01:09:20.920 voted to keep be steality on the books. That's that's 1257 01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:24.239 I don't know to what animal that it was, I 1258 01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:26.000 don't I don't know, I don't know. I didn't look 1259 01:09:26.039 --> 01:09:28.800 any deeper because at that point it's like Bama just 1260 01:09:28.800 --> 01:09:31.279 be doing Bama shit, you know, and it's. 1261 01:09:31.119 --> 01:09:33.920 It's crazy football. 1262 01:09:35.000 --> 01:09:37.079 No, it's because most of their team wasn't born and 1263 01:09:37.119 --> 01:09:40.119 raised in Alabama. That's what it is. But anyway, anyway, 1264 01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:44.920 let's get into the controversial report on quote unquote benefits 1265 01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:50.119 of first cousin marriage, pulled amid fierce backlash. A surprisingly 1266 01:09:50.159 --> 01:09:52.960 common act with this that within some families, has become 1267 01:09:53.119 --> 01:09:56.560 the center of national discourse, with calls to ban couples 1268 01:09:56.880 --> 01:09:59.319 doing it in the future. We talked about this a 1269 01:09:59.399 --> 01:10:02.880 moment ago year. The MP's outlined opposition calls to band 1270 01:10:02.920 --> 01:10:06.119 first cousin marriage in the UK. Let's go ahead and 1271 01:10:06.119 --> 01:10:07.600 listen to the some of the discourse. 1272 01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:11.359 I believe to bring in the bell Bell Muhammad, thank you, 1273 01:10:11.439 --> 01:10:15.199 mister speaker. As the right honorable Member for Basildon and 1274 01:10:15.239 --> 01:10:21.279 Billaricky states there are documented health risks and marriage, and 1275 01:10:21.359 --> 01:10:24.600 I agree this is an issue. There is this is 1276 01:10:24.600 --> 01:10:30.159 an issue that needs greater awareness on virginity testing, forced marriages, 1277 01:10:31.159 --> 01:10:34.680 and the freedom of women must be force marriage must 1278 01:10:34.720 --> 01:10:37.520 be prevented, and the freedom of women must be protected 1279 01:10:38.119 --> 01:10:39.199 at all times. 1280 01:10:39.640 --> 01:10:42.720 Y'all realize he almost messed up. The freedom of women 1281 01:10:42.800 --> 01:10:45.640 must be prevent I mean protected. You heard them, You 1282 01:10:45.680 --> 01:10:47.079 heard them continuing. 1283 01:10:47.359 --> 01:10:50.279 However, the way to address this is not to empower 1284 01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:53.880 the state to ban adults from marrying each other, not 1285 01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:59.159 least because I don't think it would be effective or enforceable. Instead, 1286 01:10:59.239 --> 01:11:01.840 the matter needs to be approached as a health awareness 1287 01:11:01.880 --> 01:11:06.680 issue and a cultural issue where women are being forced 1288 01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:11.279 against their will to undergo marriage. In doing so, it 1289 01:11:11.359 --> 01:11:14.880 is important to recognize for many people this is a 1290 01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:19.039 highly sensitive issue and in discussing it which you try 1291 01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:22.600 to step into the shoes of those who perhaps are 1292 01:11:22.640 --> 01:11:26.760 not from the same culture as ours to better understand 1293 01:11:27.159 --> 01:11:31.720 why the practice continues to be so widespread. An estimated 1294 01:11:31.800 --> 01:11:34.920 thirty five to fifty percent of all Sub Saharan African 1295 01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:39.920 populations either prefer or accept cousin marriages, and it is 1296 01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:44.640 extremely common in the Middle East and in South Asia. 1297 01:11:45.039 --> 01:11:49.840 Yeah, so that was your boy. That was a guy 1298 01:11:50.159 --> 01:11:52.880 who thinks that they need to keep it on the 1299 01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:58.159 books because to do otherwise would empower the state, and 1300 01:11:58.239 --> 01:12:02.720 you're taking freedom away from women and by outlawing first 1301 01:12:02.760 --> 01:12:06.159 cousin marriage. And I love how he said our culture 1302 01:12:07.760 --> 01:12:11.119 as in, it's crazy that he counts himself as a 1303 01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:14.560 Yeah anyway, okay. A major health authority has pulled in 1304 01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:18.560 recent reports citing the quote unquote benefits of first cousin 1305 01:12:18.600 --> 01:12:22.439 marriage after it sparked widespread outrage. The UK's National Health 1306 01:12:22.479 --> 01:12:26.159 Service came under fire after publishing guidance that experts claim 1307 01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:30.840 promoted inter family unions despite well documented concerns about the 1308 01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:35.760 increased risks of birth effects. Research research cited in the 1309 01:12:35.840 --> 01:12:40.079 articles titled should the UK Government ban first cousin marriage 1310 01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:45.119 describes various potential benefits of marrying first cousins, including stronger 1311 01:12:45.239 --> 01:12:48.680 extended family supports systems and economic advantages. 1312 01:12:49.560 --> 01:12:50.039 Wow. 1313 01:12:51.359 --> 01:12:54.279 But many were quick to point out the report published 1314 01:12:54.279 --> 01:13:00.520 in NHS England's Genomics Genomics Genomics Education program last week 1315 01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:03.760 failed to properly assess the risk associated with having children 1316 01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:08.359 with a once removed relative. So we have a quick 1317 01:13:08.399 --> 01:13:11.319 clip here. It says I just married my first cousin 1318 01:13:11.880 --> 01:13:15.279 and I don't know what group these people would be, 1319 01:13:15.359 --> 01:13:18.199 but just judging I don't know this for a fact, 1320 01:13:18.359 --> 01:13:25.159 but just judging by the look and the apparel, I'm 1321 01:13:25.199 --> 01:13:28.680 just going to guesstimate that these are gypsies. I don't 1322 01:13:28.720 --> 01:13:30.720 know that, but let's check it out. This is a 1323 01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:36.079 huge wedding that featured seventy three best men and seven bridesmaids. 1324 01:13:36.439 --> 01:13:37.199 Let's check it out. 1325 01:13:37.319 --> 01:13:40.399 Both families are out in force to celebrate tomorrow's wedding 1326 01:13:40.439 --> 01:13:44.600 between Chantelle and Jim, her first cousin. But as well 1327 01:13:44.600 --> 01:13:47.439 as throwing a party, the bride's family will often keep 1328 01:13:47.479 --> 01:13:49.399 with another costly traveler tradition. 1329 01:13:50.199 --> 01:13:53.279 In the olden days, the bride's father and mother had. 1330 01:13:53.159 --> 01:13:55.359 To pay all the money to the groom's perils and 1331 01:13:55.399 --> 01:13:56.479 it was called a tower rate. 1332 01:13:56.960 --> 01:14:00.159 And there are tradition in the traveling community in well 1333 01:14:00.159 --> 01:14:03.960 in Rakil anyway, whenever other people have still held on 1334 01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:06.640 to the exposition, so the fouaries can be fairly substantial. 1335 01:14:07.279 --> 01:14:09.119 Now I can't say for Deafinis. 1336 01:14:09.439 --> 01:14:10.479 From when I heard they could. 1337 01:14:10.399 --> 01:14:14.399 Range emyging between fifty to one hundred and twenty. 1338 01:14:14.279 --> 01:14:18.840 Thousands, and I was correct. The traveler slash gypsy community 1339 01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:21.840 would be the wedding that that was first cousins and 1340 01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:26.199 that's just a tradition. In certain cultures, first cousins are 1341 01:14:26.239 --> 01:14:28.680 determined as a relative who is the child of a 1342 01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:32.720 parent's sibling. They also share a set of grandparents. In Australia, 1343 01:14:32.800 --> 01:14:36.199 marrying a cousin is generally legal under the Federal Marriage 1344 01:14:36.199 --> 01:14:39.119 Act of nineteen sixty one, as there is no specific 1345 01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:43.479 prohibitions against it. Gotta say this checks out. Australia is 1346 01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:46.720 still a part of the British Commonwealth, so you know. Anyway. 1347 01:14:47.399 --> 01:14:49.800 The UK and other countries across Europe take a similar 1348 01:14:49.880 --> 01:14:54.119 legal stance, though the Act is becoming increasingly scrutinized, particularly 1349 01:14:54.159 --> 01:14:57.239 by doctors who warned that children of firstborn cousins are 1350 01:14:57.239 --> 01:15:00.159 more likely to experience an array of health problems. The 1351 01:15:00.159 --> 01:15:05.520 BBC reports, Yeah, that's not even a disputable fact. That's 1352 01:15:05.720 --> 01:15:10.159 a disputable point. That's a documented fact, but all right, 1353 01:15:10.520 --> 01:15:13.720 In every pregnancy there is a two to three percent 1354 01:15:13.800 --> 01:15:16.520 risk that a child from two unrelated people will have 1355 01:15:16.720 --> 01:15:21.000 a birth defect or disability. However, the risk will double 1356 01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:23.680 to about five to six percent when the parents are 1357 01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:27.880 first cousins. In western countries, the practice is now widely 1358 01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:30.840 deemed taboo, but in other cultures such as the Middle East, 1359 01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:34.079 Africa and Asia. It is still a common occurrence. Well, 1360 01:15:34.079 --> 01:15:37.399 we're not talking about those places, are we anyway, We're 1361 01:15:37.399 --> 01:15:40.439 talking about the West. Cultures that practice and encourage first 1362 01:15:40.479 --> 01:15:43.079 cousin relationships have also been linked to the oppression of 1363 01:15:43.159 --> 01:15:47.720 women in the since de deleted excuse me, yeah. In 1364 01:15:47.760 --> 01:15:51.039 the sense deleted NHS article, it was explained that first 1365 01:15:51.039 --> 01:15:53.239 cousin marriages have been legal in the UK since the 1366 01:15:53.359 --> 01:15:57.680 fifteen hundreds, when King Henry the Eighth married Catherine Howard, 1367 01:15:57.960 --> 01:16:03.000 his ex wife's cousin. That's different. You're marrying the cousin 1368 01:16:03.159 --> 01:16:07.119 of your ex wife. That is not. Uh wow, okay anyway, 1369 01:16:07.720 --> 01:16:10.680 and also noted that the inner family marriages have long 1370 01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:13.960 been subject of scientific discussion due to the increased risk 1371 01:16:14.399 --> 01:16:18.399 risk of inherited diseases, and discussed other external factors like 1372 01:16:18.399 --> 01:16:23.359 alcohol use during pregnancy, smoking, and the age of the parents. Yeah, yeah, no, 1373 01:16:23.359 --> 01:16:26.119 no shit. The report pointed out that none of these 1374 01:16:26.119 --> 01:16:28.520 factors are banned in the UK, but they should be. 1375 01:16:29.079 --> 01:16:32.079 That's the point here. Doctor Patrick Nash, an expert on 1376 01:16:32.159 --> 01:16:35.760 religious law and director of the Pharaoh's Foundation Social Science 1377 01:16:35.800 --> 01:16:40.079 research group in Oxford, called the guidance truly dismaying cousin 1378 01:16:40.119 --> 01:16:43.000 marriage is incests, plain and simple, and needs to be 1379 01:16:43.039 --> 01:16:46.640 banned with the utmost urgency. There is no quote unquote 1380 01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:49.640 balance to be struck between the cultural lifestyle choice and 1381 01:16:49.720 --> 01:16:54.199 the severe public health implications it occurs or incurs. He 1382 01:16:54.279 --> 01:16:58.319 told The Telegraph. This official article is deep, deeply misleading 1383 01:16:58.359 --> 01:17:00.760 and should be retracted with an apology so the public 1384 01:17:00.800 --> 01:17:05.439 is not misled by omission or have truths. The NHS 1385 01:17:05.520 --> 01:17:08.199 has since removed the report from its website in response 1386 01:17:08.239 --> 01:17:11.680 to the backlash, after earlier defending its research. The article, 1387 01:17:11.680 --> 01:17:15.199 published on the website of the Genomics Education Program, is 1388 01:17:15.239 --> 01:17:19.079 a summary of existing scientific research and the public policy debate. 1389 01:17:19.399 --> 01:17:22.279 A spokesperson for the National Health Authority said it is 1390 01:17:22.319 --> 01:17:27.000 not expressing an nhsview. It is estimated that more than 1391 01:17:27.119 --> 01:17:30.600 ten percent of all marriages worldwide are between first or 1392 01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:34.359 second cousins. Those stats are difficult to accurately record since 1393 01:17:34.359 --> 01:17:38.079 such marriages have long been an underground phenomenon, largely due 1394 01:17:38.119 --> 01:17:43.359 to incest related stigma. Again, no shit. From October first, 1395 01:17:43.399 --> 01:17:47.199 Connecticut has been knowingly marrying a first cousin. According to 1396 01:17:47.239 --> 01:17:51.840 the US SUN, Currently twenty four US states prohibited and 1397 01:17:52.000 --> 01:17:56.479 eight states allow it only under specific conditions. Those eight 1398 01:17:56.520 --> 01:18:03.359 states are Illinois, Arizona, Indiana, Maine, Minnesota, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin. 1399 01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:07.760 Just so we're clear, Norway banned cousin marriages in twenty 1400 01:18:07.800 --> 01:18:10.159 twenty three, and a planned ban is set to take 1401 01:18:10.199 --> 01:18:13.680 place in Sweden from the mid of middle of twenty 1402 01:18:13.720 --> 01:18:16.680 twenty six. They have a couple of other pictures here 1403 01:18:16.760 --> 01:18:18.840 where it's how many months have you guys been together? 1404 01:18:19.119 --> 01:18:21.399 Only two months? As we had to keep our relationship 1405 01:18:21.479 --> 01:18:24.520 quiet because we are cousins. Like this, This is a 1406 01:18:24.560 --> 01:18:28.359 thing that these people are proud of. Yeah, here we go, 1407 01:18:28.439 --> 01:18:31.640 it continues. There are now similar calls for the UK 1408 01:18:31.760 --> 01:18:35.199 to follow suit, with the Conservative Party recently proposing a 1409 01:18:35.199 --> 01:18:37.479 bill that would see an end too cousin marriages amid 1410 01:18:37.520 --> 01:18:43.279 growing public health concerns. However, God and always however, there 1411 01:18:43.319 --> 01:18:46.680 are some that argue that the legislation would be discriminatory 1412 01:18:47.000 --> 01:18:51.760 and culturally insensitive, with experts claiming education is way better, 1413 01:18:52.119 --> 01:18:56.079 a better way of dealing with the declining trend. In 1414 01:18:56.119 --> 01:18:58.800 the midst of the public debate, Faz, a woman from 1415 01:18:58.840 --> 01:19:02.439 Grimsby in the portion of England, went public with her 1416 01:19:02.479 --> 01:19:06.039 relationship with a family member, Ania, who is eighteen. 1417 01:19:07.000 --> 01:19:07.680 Wow. 1418 01:19:08.039 --> 01:19:10.279 But the couple have now found themselves at the heart 1419 01:19:10.319 --> 01:19:12.439 of a barrage of abuse from mean trolls, who have 1420 01:19:12.520 --> 01:19:16.600 described their story as something from the eighteen hundreds. Fair enough. 1421 01:19:16.920 --> 01:19:20.199 Posting on social media, Faz or Faz answer their question 1422 01:19:20.239 --> 01:19:22.319 about how long the pair whose parents or siblings have 1423 01:19:22.359 --> 01:19:25.680 been together. That's the two that we see here. They 1424 01:19:25.760 --> 01:19:28.640 have been together only two months officially because they had 1425 01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:31.720 to keep their relationship secret because their cousins. 1426 01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:32.680 Wow. 1427 01:19:33.720 --> 01:19:38.439 Social media users were gobsmacked by the fact that the 1428 01:19:38.439 --> 01:19:41.720 couples are related and declaring it wild and shocking. In 1429 01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:45.000 the comments, he said, they are keeping it in the 1430 01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:50.439 family hashtag relationship goals. So that's what's going on in 1431 01:19:50.479 --> 01:19:53.800 the English House of Commons right now. They are debating 1432 01:19:53.840 --> 01:20:00.239 if they should outlaw outlaw first cousin marriages. It's uh, 1433 01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:02.960 it's pretty insane to me, but anyway. 1434 01:20:03.479 --> 01:20:06.960 I think that the the incest thing is disgusting, but 1435 01:20:07.039 --> 01:20:11.119 it's kind of uh funny in a way because the 1436 01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:15.920 entire British fucking royal line from Britain to all the 1437 01:20:15.960 --> 01:20:19.319 way to Russia was all just one big ass. 1438 01:20:19.119 --> 01:20:22.039 Extended family that really turns into a bush. 1439 01:20:22.840 --> 01:20:29.640 I mean pretty much. That's what war war was about, right, 1440 01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:31.239 it was. 1441 01:20:31.640 --> 01:20:39.800 Yeah, it was so the Nicholas, Uh George, I don't 1442 01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:43.279 want to say his name is George Nicholas. 1443 01:20:43.760 --> 01:20:45.079 Huh you're talking. 1444 01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:50.800 No, I'm talking about, Yeah, the the one that he 1445 01:20:50.840 --> 01:20:51.760 and his family ask you. 1446 01:20:52.159 --> 01:20:54.840 But he was a child, he's uh. 1447 01:20:55.880 --> 01:21:01.800 Oh it was hell uh the TiSER and uh all uh, 1448 01:21:03.960 --> 01:21:07.039 mister money bags and the English king. 1449 01:21:07.279 --> 01:21:08.119 They're all cousins. 1450 01:21:08.119 --> 01:21:13.399 They would play chess and everything and the middle uh 1451 01:21:13.720 --> 01:21:17.039 Winhelm just never he never liked losing. And they so 1452 01:21:17.159 --> 01:21:19.119 instead of them playing with chess as I got older, 1453 01:21:19.119 --> 01:21:21.239 they started playing with men's lives. 1454 01:21:21.640 --> 01:21:25.560 Yeah, and that's that also ties into why Germany got 1455 01:21:25.600 --> 01:21:28.279 such bad the bad end of the stick as far 1456 01:21:28.319 --> 01:21:31.319 as the end of World War One, because you know, 1457 01:21:31.359 --> 01:21:34.079 it started off in Austria between Austria and Serbia, the 1458 01:21:34.079 --> 01:21:37.800 assassination that took place of Archid Ferdinand, and then Germany, 1459 01:21:37.880 --> 01:21:40.760 because of their alliances, sided with Austria because they had 1460 01:21:40.800 --> 01:21:44.319 treaties cool cool. All these other countries aligned themselves as 1461 01:21:44.319 --> 01:21:47.479 their treaties dictated cool. When it all came down and 1462 01:21:47.520 --> 01:21:53.319 Germany lost the war, nobody gained anything. No, no territory 1463 01:21:53.920 --> 01:21:56.640 was gained by any country on some real scales. Yeah, 1464 01:21:56.680 --> 01:21:59.640 the divided maps around the world to break up colonies 1465 01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:03.560 and stuff. But what I mean is nobody could say, ah, 1466 01:22:03.640 --> 01:22:07.159 we won this, this and this from this encounter. Basically 1467 01:22:07.199 --> 01:22:10.760 everybody just had to acknowledge that they just killed all 1468 01:22:10.800 --> 01:22:14.560 of these dudes for the hell of it, and essentially 1469 01:22:14.600 --> 01:22:16.560 they just like, well, we have to do something because 1470 01:22:16.560 --> 01:22:18.880 the people are going to be pissed if we don't 1471 01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:22.399 have anything to show for this war. So they just 1472 01:22:22.479 --> 01:22:26.479 threw all of the financial burden onto Germany and to 1473 01:22:26.600 --> 01:22:29.840 a level that Germany could have literally never paid that back. 1474 01:22:29.920 --> 01:22:32.119 If World War iiO wouldn't have happened, Okay, if Hitler 1475 01:22:32.119 --> 01:22:34.760 wouldn't have come through and all these things, Germany would 1476 01:22:34.800 --> 01:22:38.439 still be paying the war reparations from World War One 1477 01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:41.600 like to this day in twenty twenty five. So that's 1478 01:22:41.640 --> 01:22:44.000 why Germany was so destitute, and why Hitler was seen 1479 01:22:44.000 --> 01:22:45.840 as the hero who was trying to bring Germany back 1480 01:22:45.840 --> 01:22:48.159 to its glory days and all these things. But yeah, 1481 01:22:48.199 --> 01:22:53.119 it was absolutely a slugfest between cousins, and that's why 1482 01:22:53.199 --> 01:22:57.319 all of Europe was the Kingdom of dot dot before 1483 01:22:57.800 --> 01:23:00.920 World War One and afterwards it was the nation of 1484 01:23:01.319 --> 01:23:04.680 dot dot dot and why then it became constitutional republics 1485 01:23:04.920 --> 01:23:07.359 or uh some sort of a hybrid like you have 1486 01:23:07.399 --> 01:23:10.359 in England and things like that. But anyway, so yeah. 1487 01:23:10.119 --> 01:23:13.640 My question is, uh maji, I'm from Georgia, so my 1488 01:23:13.680 --> 01:23:17.640 geography is bump fucked at best. Okay, it wasn't like 1489 01:23:18.319 --> 01:23:23.439 between Germany and everything. Was that Germania or that punchier 1490 01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:26.079 in Germany? But where was Prussia at In all? This 1491 01:23:26.239 --> 01:23:27.319 wasn't that Germany. 1492 01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:31.560 So Prussia was what we would now call Germany. Although 1493 01:23:31.600 --> 01:23:36.720 it's depending on which you're talking about. That yeah, they 1494 01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:38.600 would say that, but I mean, you gotta keep in mind, 1495 01:23:38.640 --> 01:23:41.479 it depends on which section of time, right, Like, uh, 1496 01:23:41.760 --> 01:23:45.760 Lithuania Poland alliance was a massive chunk of northern Europe 1497 01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:47.720 for a very very long time. Then over time they 1498 01:23:47.720 --> 01:23:51.840 got taken bit by bit by their neighbors. Prussia was 1499 01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:54.680 a massive empire at one point in time of Europe 1500 01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:56.920 and then they got broken down to kind of a 1501 01:23:56.960 --> 01:23:59.800 little bit of Germany, a little bit of Austria kind 1502 01:23:59.840 --> 01:24:02.960 of thing. Ottoman Empire came in with the Austria Hungary 1503 01:24:03.000 --> 01:24:07.319 conversation so it got subdivided before this, But Prussia was 1504 01:24:07.359 --> 01:24:11.279 the predecessor to Germany. That's an oversimplification, but that's kind 1505 01:24:11.279 --> 01:24:14.039 of the for the for the conversation we're having here. 1506 01:24:14.199 --> 01:24:15.680 That's the best way that I could put it. 1507 01:24:17.159 --> 01:24:20.079 I was just double jacking, yeah, because my times doesn't 1508 01:24:20.079 --> 01:24:20.920 always match up. 1509 01:24:21.199 --> 01:24:24.359 So if we were talking in like the seventeen hundreds 1510 01:24:24.359 --> 01:24:26.840 and even into the mid eighteen hundreds, it would have 1511 01:24:26.840 --> 01:24:30.520 been Prussia. That's the best way that I could put that. 1512 01:24:31.119 --> 01:24:35.239 So anyway, all right, now moving on to the next 1513 01:24:35.359 --> 01:24:38.119 topic of discussion for this evening. Now we've gotten the 1514 01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:41.159 incest talk out of the way. England be wildin' uh. 1515 01:24:41.399 --> 01:24:45.720 This is from Army Recognition dot Com. The US doubles 1516 01:24:45.880 --> 01:24:49.439 Estonia's hi Mar's artillery to twelve amid growing tensions between 1517 01:24:49.560 --> 01:24:53.119 Russia and NATO. Again. This article was released two day 1518 01:24:53.279 --> 01:24:56.079 as of time of recording. The United States has moved 1519 01:24:56.119 --> 01:25:00.680 to expand in Estonia's penning Himar package, doubling launch to 1520 01:25:00.880 --> 01:25:05.720 twelve and vastly increasing adam at attackums. Yeah, that's how 1521 01:25:05.720 --> 01:25:09.920 they're pronouncing it, attack ems and Gimmler's stocks. Kiev Post 1522 01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:14.119 reports the surge in long range precision munitions strengthens NATO's 1523 01:25:14.119 --> 01:25:17.520 eastern flank and raises the turrents amid rising Russian military 1524 01:25:17.560 --> 01:25:21.159 pressure around the Ballic region. And this does come amid 1525 01:25:21.359 --> 01:25:27.279 the the air intrusion of Russian jets over Estonia, which 1526 01:25:27.279 --> 01:25:32.239 didn't happen once or twice. Six times this year Russia 1527 01:25:32.239 --> 01:25:36.399 has invaded Estonia's airspace. They invaded Poland's airspace the first time. 1528 01:25:37.039 --> 01:25:38.560 It was with drones and it could have been seen 1529 01:25:38.600 --> 01:25:41.720 as an accident. They got blown off core, something happened 1530 01:25:41.720 --> 01:25:43.720 with the glitch in the system, no big deal. Then 1531 01:25:43.760 --> 01:25:46.760 they continued to do it, and then last week Russia 1532 01:25:46.840 --> 01:25:50.880 invaded United States air space with a bomber over Alaska. 1533 01:25:51.319 --> 01:25:54.319 It's it's crazy. I think that Russia is really trying 1534 01:25:54.359 --> 01:25:57.600 to test limits to see what the responses would be 1535 01:25:57.640 --> 01:25:59.960 from NATO countries. They're trying to like soft launch something. 1536 01:26:00.520 --> 01:26:02.359 I'm not saying that they are about to start launching 1537 01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:04.520 an invasion into other countries. I don't think they have 1538 01:26:04.600 --> 01:26:07.079 the facilities for this. I really don't think they have 1539 01:26:07.159 --> 01:26:12.199 the capabilities to launch another warfront somewhere. But they are 1540 01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:14.159 testing things right now and I'm not sure if this 1541 01:26:14.199 --> 01:26:16.319 is them saber rattling or if this is them showing 1542 01:26:17.760 --> 01:26:21.159 incompetence or if this is them just trying to have audacity, 1543 01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:24.840 I don't know, but anyway. On October first, twenty twenty five, 1544 01:26:24.920 --> 01:26:28.000 Kiev Post reported that the United States has quietly moved 1545 01:26:28.039 --> 01:26:31.600 to expand Estonia's penning HIMAR package, like I said, increasing 1546 01:26:31.600 --> 01:26:33.880 the number of M one four to two launchers and 1547 01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:37.319 enlarging stocks of long range attack them's and Gimmler's rockets. 1548 01:26:37.640 --> 01:26:40.760 The development comes amid heightened Russian military pressure around the 1549 01:26:40.760 --> 01:26:44.640 Baltic region and Tellen's drive to harden deterrence with precision 1550 01:26:44.640 --> 01:26:48.399 strike options that can hold critical targets at risk well 1551 01:26:48.399 --> 01:26:51.640 beyond Estonia's borders. The centerpiece of the package is the 1552 01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:54.000 high MARS right, that is, the M one four to 1553 01:26:54.039 --> 01:26:58.199 two High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, a wheeled launcher that 1554 01:26:58.239 --> 01:27:00.960 can fire both six round pods of guided rockets and 1555 01:27:01.039 --> 01:27:04.000 single missile pods of attack THEMS, giving a small force 1556 01:27:04.039 --> 01:27:07.760 the ability to shift from saturation fires to pinpoint deep 1557 01:27:07.760 --> 01:27:12.119 strikes within minutes. Estonia previously pursued six launchers. The new 1558 01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:16.079 reporting points to doubling of combat power, as a far deeper, 1559 01:27:16.119 --> 01:27:21.920 magazine sized for sustained operations rather than symbolic presence. Continuing 1560 01:27:21.960 --> 01:27:25.840 on here, at the equipment level, High Mars is built 1561 01:27:26.079 --> 01:27:29.600 on a medium tactical truck chassis carrying one modular pod 1562 01:27:29.640 --> 01:27:33.079 and a fully digital fire control system tied to GPS 1563 01:27:33.199 --> 01:27:38.479 and inter inertial navigation. Yeah, the system is pretty sick 1564 01:27:38.880 --> 01:27:42.039 if anybody has looked up how High Mars are actually guided. 1565 01:27:42.399 --> 01:27:44.720 They can be guided from satellites, that is a thing 1566 01:27:44.760 --> 01:27:47.640 that can take place, but they also can be guided 1567 01:27:47.720 --> 01:27:53.039 just off of GPS coordinates, and they have three gyroscopic 1568 01:27:53.279 --> 01:27:57.439 lasers basically inside of them that the rocket knows where 1569 01:27:57.439 --> 01:28:00.159 it is because it knows where it isn't that it's 1570 01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:04.399 the overarching theme of it. They do not require satellites 1571 01:28:05.119 --> 01:28:08.319 in any way, shape or form to accurately launch and 1572 01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:13.800 get good effect on effects on target. They are groundbreaking 1573 01:28:13.840 --> 01:28:16.000 as far as the technology goes on the high More systems. 1574 01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:20.239 But anyway, the system's hallmark is speed of action. Crews 1575 01:28:20.239 --> 01:28:23.640 can arrive in a hide align, the launchers transit a 1576 01:28:23.760 --> 01:28:27.600 fire mission ripple, rockets and displays before enemy sensors and 1577 01:28:27.680 --> 01:28:33.520 counter battery systems. Q A response transportability, that's a word 1578 01:28:34.279 --> 01:28:37.239 matters for the Baltic theater. High Mars fits inside a 1579 01:28:37.279 --> 01:28:40.880 C one thirty for rapid reinforcements, while road mobility allows 1580 01:28:40.920 --> 01:28:45.479 dispersal across Estonia's forested road network and pre surveyed firing points. 1581 01:28:45.760 --> 01:28:50.319 The launcher software accepts full MLRS family of munitions, enabling 1582 01:28:50.439 --> 01:28:54.600 Estonia to mix effects from unitary high explosive warheads for 1583 01:28:54.640 --> 01:28:58.800 point targets, to alternative warheads for area suppression against troop 1584 01:28:58.880 --> 01:29:03.159 concentrations and so skin vehicles. They go in more talking 1585 01:29:03.159 --> 01:29:06.159 about the capabilities of these things, but I just thought 1586 01:29:06.199 --> 01:29:10.640 it was worth mentioning that America is doubling Estonia's firepower 1587 01:29:10.640 --> 01:29:13.439 when it comes to this. Now this to be said, 1588 01:29:13.800 --> 01:29:16.800 we are going to take now a shift away from 1589 01:29:16.840 --> 01:29:20.399 the foreign conversations and speak about what is going on 1590 01:29:20.479 --> 01:29:23.960 in America. I'm not sure if this has anything to 1591 01:29:23.960 --> 01:29:26.119 do with Russia. I'm not sure if this has to 1592 01:29:26.119 --> 01:29:31.760 do with China, Iran, Israel, whatever. I don't know, but 1593 01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:36.039 I am happy to report that Pete Hegseth, our Secretary 1594 01:29:36.039 --> 01:29:41.319 of War, has absolutely taken the reins back. He has said, 1595 01:29:41.439 --> 01:29:43.840 and I quote, that they are going to make it 1596 01:29:43.880 --> 01:29:47.680 to where all combat roles must be from people that 1597 01:29:47.800 --> 01:29:51.439 can meet the highest level of male physical fitness. He 1598 01:29:51.600 --> 01:29:54.920 is taking away fat bodies from even the upper echelon 1599 01:29:55.079 --> 01:29:58.600 of military members. Every military member from the four star 1600 01:29:58.720 --> 01:30:01.319 generals all the way down to the lowliest of privates 1601 01:30:01.600 --> 01:30:04.119 are going to have to be height and weight measured 1602 01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:06.560 twice a year, and they are going to have two 1603 01:30:07.000 --> 01:30:11.560 physical fitness tests every year. Now, the Marine Corps has 1604 01:30:11.600 --> 01:30:14.039 already been doing something like this. For those that don't know, 1605 01:30:14.279 --> 01:30:17.640 the Marine Corps is something called a PFT and a CFT. 1606 01:30:18.159 --> 01:30:22.039 The PFT is the Physical Fitness test. The CFT is 1607 01:30:22.079 --> 01:30:26.000 the combat fitness test. One of them consists of a 1608 01:30:26.079 --> 01:30:30.279 three mile run, pull ups and crunches. Okay, the other 1609 01:30:30.319 --> 01:30:35.439 one consists of a half mile run, a AMMO can lift, crunches, 1610 01:30:35.920 --> 01:30:39.279 and a maneuver under fire. It's not an obstacle course, 1611 01:30:39.319 --> 01:30:41.279 but it is a timed event where you have to 1612 01:30:41.319 --> 01:30:44.279 do some maneuvers. You have to fireman carry a person, 1613 01:30:44.359 --> 01:30:47.000 buddy drag a person. There is a grenade throw component 1614 01:30:47.039 --> 01:30:49.520 of it, and that's for score. It's not an actual grenade, 1615 01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:51.439 it's a dumb and grenade. But beside the point, the 1616 01:30:51.479 --> 01:30:54.399 Marine Corps been implementing this for years and years and years. 1617 01:30:54.720 --> 01:30:57.840 He is now saying that this is military wide, not 1618 01:30:57.920 --> 01:31:00.880 just Army, not just Marine Corps. The base force is 1619 01:31:00.920 --> 01:31:03.279 going to be required to conduct these types of things. 1620 01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:06.720 I have a quick clip of some of the highlights 1621 01:31:06.880 --> 01:31:09.199 of what he said, and we're going to talk about 1622 01:31:09.239 --> 01:31:11.560 it more in depth. It is a it is a 1623 01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:15.359 great time to be joining the military right now. Let's 1624 01:31:15.359 --> 01:31:16.560 get into it today. 1625 01:31:16.600 --> 01:31:19.479 At my direction, we are also adding a combat field 1626 01:31:19.520 --> 01:31:23.439 test for combat arms units that must be executable in 1627 01:31:23.520 --> 01:31:28.239 any environment, at any time and with combat equipment. These 1628 01:31:28.279 --> 01:31:31.600 tests that look familiar. They'll resemble the Army Expert Physical 1629 01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:37.359 Fitness Assessment or the Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test. I'm 1630 01:31:37.399 --> 01:31:40.279 also directing that warfighters in combat jobs. 1631 01:31:40.079 --> 01:31:42.239 Execute their Service Fitness. 1632 01:31:41.840 --> 01:31:46.359 Test at a gender neutral age normed male standard scored 1633 01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:51.920 above seventy percent. It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. 1634 01:31:53.000 --> 01:31:54.119 If the Secretary of. 1635 01:31:54.079 --> 01:31:58.039 War can do regular hard PT, so can every member 1636 01:31:58.039 --> 01:32:02.680 of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out 1637 01:32:02.680 --> 01:32:08.520 at combat formations, or really any formation and see fat troops. Likewise, 1638 01:32:08.560 --> 01:32:11.520 it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in 1639 01:32:11.520 --> 01:32:14.720 the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country, 1640 01:32:14.720 --> 01:32:15.039 in the world. 1641 01:32:15.079 --> 01:32:20.199 It's a bad look. I have to agree with every 1642 01:32:20.199 --> 01:32:22.560 single thing he just said. Let's keep going. It is 1643 01:32:22.640 --> 01:32:24.119 bad and it's not who we are. 1644 01:32:25.159 --> 01:32:28.560 Also today, at my direction, every warrior across our joint 1645 01:32:28.600 --> 01:32:33.039 Force is required to do pt every duty day should 1646 01:32:33.079 --> 01:32:35.119 be common SATs. I mean most units do that already, 1647 01:32:36.079 --> 01:32:39.319 but we're codifying and we're not talking like hot yoga 1648 01:32:39.359 --> 01:32:40.279 and stretching. 1649 01:32:41.560 --> 01:32:42.439 Real hard PTE. 1650 01:32:42.680 --> 01:32:46.359 There's either as a unit or as an individual at 1651 01:32:46.399 --> 01:32:48.760 every level, from the joint chiefs to everyone in this 1652 01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:51.720 room to the youngest private leaders set the standard, and 1653 01:32:51.880 --> 01:32:53.760 so many of you do this already. 1654 01:32:57.079 --> 01:33:00.760 Yes, there is no more kickball as your form of 1655 01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:03.600 pt There's no more going out and doing some hot 1656 01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:07.279 yoga as your form of physical training. No, we're talking 1657 01:33:07.279 --> 01:33:10.000 about actually getting out there and moving some iron, getting 1658 01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:13.960 out there and really doing rock marches and flak runs 1659 01:33:14.039 --> 01:33:17.600 and things like this. Yes, I am here for this bullshit. 1660 01:33:17.720 --> 01:33:23.920 Let's go active, guard and reserve. This also means grooming standards. 1661 01:33:24.920 --> 01:33:30.000 No more beards, long hair, superficial individual expression. We're gonna 1662 01:33:30.039 --> 01:33:32.920 cut our hair, shave our beards, and adhere to standards 1663 01:33:34.279 --> 01:33:36.359 because it's like the broken windows. 1664 01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:36.920 Theory of policing. 1665 01:33:36.920 --> 01:33:38.520 It's like when you let the small stuff go, the 1666 01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:41.640 big stuff eventually goes, so you have to address the 1667 01:33:41.680 --> 01:33:44.760 small stuff. This is on duty in the field and 1668 01:33:44.800 --> 01:33:46.720 in the rear. If you want a beard, you can 1669 01:33:46.800 --> 01:33:47.840 join special forces. 1670 01:33:49.039 --> 01:33:50.039 If not, then shave. 1671 01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:55.479 We don't have a military full of Nordic pagans, but 1672 01:33:55.600 --> 01:33:58.119 unfortunately we have had leaders who either refuse to call 1673 01:33:58.199 --> 01:34:02.000 bs and enforced standards, or leaders who felt like they 1674 01:34:02.039 --> 01:34:05.520 were not allowed to standards. 1675 01:34:07.960 --> 01:34:10.920 Yes, this is true. Now. Granted, while I was in 1676 01:34:10.920 --> 01:34:12.920 the Marine Corps, I had to shave twice a day 1677 01:34:13.640 --> 01:34:16.039 and I hated it. I absolutely did, which is why 1678 01:34:16.119 --> 01:34:17.840 I have grown the beard that I have grown and 1679 01:34:17.880 --> 01:34:20.640 why my hair is long, specifically because I hated doing 1680 01:34:20.680 --> 01:34:22.680 these things while I was in but I adhere to 1681 01:34:22.720 --> 01:34:25.680 the standard because that was the way it was. They 1682 01:34:25.720 --> 01:34:29.239 have in recent years said that if you, for religious 1683 01:34:29.239 --> 01:34:32.880 reasons needed to grow a beard, the military was going 1684 01:34:32.920 --> 01:34:35.920 to allow it. And for the record, it's not just 1685 01:34:35.960 --> 01:34:38.960 Nordic pagan's, although there was that massive chunk of them. 1686 01:34:39.439 --> 01:34:43.479 I even know personally some Christians that quoted a section 1687 01:34:43.520 --> 01:34:46.640 of Leviticus and said that for that reason they were 1688 01:34:46.680 --> 01:34:49.680 allowed to grow their beard. Secretary of War has said, 1689 01:34:50.000 --> 01:34:52.520 no longer, you're either going to adhere to the standard 1690 01:34:52.600 --> 01:34:55.079 or you're gonna find a new job. I like it. 1691 01:34:55.279 --> 01:34:57.479 I'm liking that we are getting back to this. Let's go. 1692 01:34:58.640 --> 01:35:02.720 Both are unacceptable and that's why today, at my direction, 1693 01:35:02.840 --> 01:35:05.119 the era of unprofessional appearance is over. 1694 01:35:06.439 --> 01:35:07.359 No more beardoz. 1695 01:35:08.800 --> 01:35:11.880 The era of rampant and ridiculous shaving profiles is done. 1696 01:35:13.399 --> 01:35:15.680 Simply put, if you do not meet the male level 1697 01:35:15.720 --> 01:35:19.479 physical standards for combat positions, cannot pass a PT test, 1698 01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:22.720 or don't want to shave and look professional, it's time 1699 01:35:22.720 --> 01:35:25.920 for a new position or a new profession. 1700 01:35:30.159 --> 01:35:32.840 I gotta say, I am so here for what Haig 1701 01:35:32.920 --> 01:35:35.560 Seth is doing. And keep this in mind, peek hegg 1702 01:35:35.680 --> 01:35:40.760 Seth is a combat veteran. He led troops in Iraq 1703 01:35:40.840 --> 01:35:44.960 and Afghanistan. So it's not like this is some you know. 1704 01:35:45.079 --> 01:35:48.319 Usually the Secretary of Defense, former Secretary of Defense now 1705 01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:52.159 Secretary of War, which is how it should be, has 1706 01:35:52.199 --> 01:35:55.359 been somebody that was appointed by a podus. Sometimes they 1707 01:35:55.359 --> 01:35:58.199 were a veteran, sometimes they were not. I will give 1708 01:35:58.239 --> 01:36:00.479 Trump credit for that. He did put in mad Dog 1709 01:36:00.520 --> 01:36:03.600 Maddie the first go round, but unfortunately he would not 1710 01:36:03.800 --> 01:36:06.520 listen when mad Dog said that we needed to do 1711 01:36:06.560 --> 01:36:09.359 certain things a certain way. And for that reason, General 1712 01:36:09.439 --> 01:36:13.159 James Maddis left the position. He resigned. Pete hegg Seth 1713 01:36:13.560 --> 01:36:19.000 is trying to basically reattach the well, I don't want 1714 01:36:19.039 --> 01:36:21.399 to say that because there are women that also serve 1715 01:36:21.439 --> 01:36:26.600 in our military. Valiantly. He is putting real backbone back 1716 01:36:26.640 --> 01:36:32.760 into the military. And because of this, multiple generals are 1717 01:36:33.439 --> 01:36:36.039 saying that they're about to resign because this is an 1718 01:36:36.039 --> 01:36:40.319 infringement on personal rights and liberties and freedoms. You sign 1719 01:36:40.439 --> 01:36:44.000 those away when you join the military. You don't do 1720 01:36:44.119 --> 01:36:46.840 that anymore. You don't have freedom of speech and freedom 1721 01:36:46.880 --> 01:36:50.159 of expression and these types of things. Well, I'm still 1722 01:36:50.199 --> 01:36:53.680 an individual, no. See, whenever you join the military, you're 1723 01:36:53.720 --> 01:36:56.439 a part of a unit. You're a part of something bigger, 1724 01:36:56.680 --> 01:36:58.840 and you have to adhere to the standards of that 1725 01:36:59.039 --> 01:37:02.119 organization or you're no longer a part of the organization. 1726 01:37:02.199 --> 01:37:05.039 And if you don't like it, don't join. I'm here 1727 01:37:05.039 --> 01:37:09.359 for this, but let's get into the article here. General's 1728 01:37:09.399 --> 01:37:14.399 silent as heg Seth ends Warrior Ethos rally with out 1729 01:37:14.399 --> 01:37:18.079 with the millies and in with the patents now, I 1730 01:37:18.079 --> 01:37:19.760 should also say, and I'm sure they're gonna get into 1731 01:37:19.800 --> 01:37:23.720 in this article. He also has said drill instructors are 1732 01:37:23.800 --> 01:37:27.680 now allowed to put their hands on recruits, and they're 1733 01:37:27.680 --> 01:37:30.680 allowed to use foul language. They're allowed to flip racks, 1734 01:37:31.039 --> 01:37:33.399 They're allowed to shark attack, which is something that Army 1735 01:37:33.399 --> 01:37:36.439 boot camp would know a thing about. Basically, for the 1736 01:37:36.479 --> 01:37:40.720 past I would argue ten years, but maybe even further 1737 01:37:40.760 --> 01:37:45.119 back than that, boot camp and recruit training across the 1738 01:37:45.159 --> 01:37:49.560 board has suffered. The standards have dropped to make it 1739 01:37:49.840 --> 01:37:53.760 more inclusive, more open to people who you know, not 1740 01:37:53.880 --> 01:37:58.199 so mean, easier, some might say, and heg Seth is 1741 01:37:58.199 --> 01:38:01.439 saying no longer. The military is not a social experiment. 1742 01:38:01.840 --> 01:38:04.880 It is a force that should be the most proficient 1743 01:38:05.000 --> 01:38:08.680 and efficient at killing the bad guys. That is what 1744 01:38:08.720 --> 01:38:13.239 the military is for the bar, none drop of the hat. 1745 01:38:13.359 --> 01:38:16.239 It is what it is. The military needs to be 1746 01:38:16.319 --> 01:38:19.800 the most vicious fighting force who is the best at 1747 01:38:19.920 --> 01:38:25.760 killing the bad guys. Period. I'm here for this. Uh. 1748 01:38:25.880 --> 01:38:28.039 Before I read the article, I see is Sam, go ahead? 1749 01:38:29.960 --> 01:38:32.520 What does it mean the ads can put the hands 1750 01:38:32.560 --> 01:38:33.119 on you now? 1751 01:38:33.239 --> 01:38:37.439 I went in at in October twenty eighteen, and everything 1752 01:38:37.479 --> 01:38:45.039 graduated January of nineteen. My I in my in boot gamp, 1753 01:38:45.079 --> 01:38:51.399 I recruit Malvadoff, not smart and everything, and all I 1754 01:38:51.479 --> 01:38:54.560 heard was the I saw it, but the drenal shout. 1755 01:38:54.840 --> 01:38:57.039 He caught him in the gut and picked him up. 1756 01:38:57.439 --> 01:38:59.640 He punched the shit out of him and picked him 1757 01:38:59.760 --> 01:39:03.600 up off the ground with said punch, So. 1758 01:39:03.680 --> 01:39:05.960 That drill instructor would have lost his job if that 1759 01:39:06.000 --> 01:39:10.520 incident would have been reported, because for years now, drill 1760 01:39:10.560 --> 01:39:13.800 instructors have not been allowed to use foul language at 1761 01:39:13.800 --> 01:39:16.720 their recruits, let alone put their hands on them. That's mean, 1762 01:39:17.359 --> 01:39:20.680 that's so mean. So when Hegseth gave this speech and 1763 01:39:20.720 --> 01:39:23.079 I listened to it, it was about an hour long speech. Today, 1764 01:39:23.079 --> 01:39:25.239 as a matter of fact, he broke it down like this, 1765 01:39:25.399 --> 01:39:28.079 His oldest son is fifteen years old, and if his 1766 01:39:28.199 --> 01:39:31.720 son wants to join the military, he would like for 1767 01:39:31.760 --> 01:39:36.840 the military to be in a state where they would 1768 01:39:36.960 --> 01:39:40.319 make sure that his son would be the safest possible. 1769 01:39:40.720 --> 01:39:44.319 And he doesn't mean a boot camp, he means in combat. Right, 1770 01:39:44.439 --> 01:39:47.840 we got to make sure that you're training these people properly. 1771 01:39:48.359 --> 01:39:52.479 You are instilling within them the reality of combat and 1772 01:39:52.520 --> 01:39:55.000 that this is not a place for feelings. As a 1773 01:39:55.039 --> 01:39:58.239 matter of fact, there's almost nowhere in the military for feelings. 1774 01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:02.079 So that being said, he said, using the Golden rule here, 1775 01:40:02.119 --> 01:40:04.000 as Jesus said, do unto others as you had had 1776 01:40:04.039 --> 01:40:08.079 them do unto you, Do unto your units what you 1777 01:40:08.119 --> 01:40:13.159 would have these units due to your children. If your 1778 01:40:13.359 --> 01:40:16.439 child was to join the military right now, would you 1779 01:40:16.560 --> 01:40:19.279 rather be a place where feelings matter or would you 1780 01:40:19.359 --> 01:40:21.920 rather be a place that is so well trained and 1781 01:40:22.000 --> 01:40:24.560 so well equipped that they would be able to handle 1782 01:40:24.600 --> 01:40:28.520 whatever combat situation came into the forefront. That's just the 1783 01:40:28.520 --> 01:40:32.840 breakdown of it. So drill instructors are now and drill 1784 01:40:32.920 --> 01:40:35.439 sergeants and cadres, and I'm not just saying Marine Corps, 1785 01:40:35.520 --> 01:40:40.760 this is military wide, are going to be reinstilled. They're 1786 01:40:40.840 --> 01:40:43.640 let off the leash. It is go time at boot 1787 01:40:43.680 --> 01:40:46.760 camp and that's amazing. And the standards as far as 1788 01:40:46.800 --> 01:40:49.359 physical fitness are concerned, are going to be back to 1789 01:40:49.399 --> 01:40:52.920 where they once were. Now that being said, recruiting numbers 1790 01:40:52.960 --> 01:40:56.119 have been down for a good little while here, but 1791 01:40:57.439 --> 01:41:01.319 as they are making it more and more appealing to 1792 01:41:01.520 --> 01:41:04.840 the younger generation to join the military. They're wanting to 1793 01:41:04.840 --> 01:41:07.000 get the best of the best, and you can't do 1794 01:41:07.159 --> 01:41:10.520 that if you drop standards. So let's get into it here. 1795 01:41:11.439 --> 01:41:13.760 He also said, out with the millies and in with 1796 01:41:13.840 --> 01:41:16.319 the patents. I like this a lot. As a matter 1797 01:41:16.319 --> 01:41:20.239 of fact, more than eight hundred of America's top military 1798 01:41:20.279 --> 01:41:23.920 leaders sat silent and showed no reaction as x Fox 1799 01:41:24.000 --> 01:41:27.760 News host turned Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth issued a series 1800 01:41:27.800 --> 01:41:29.880 of new directives that will make it harder for women 1801 01:41:29.920 --> 01:41:33.199 to serve in combat and easier for personnel to engage 1802 01:41:33.239 --> 01:41:37.079 in hazing and bullying without repercussions at an unprecedented gathering 1803 01:41:37.119 --> 01:41:40.520 at the Marine Corps base in Quatico, Virginia, Tuesday. I 1804 01:41:40.520 --> 01:41:43.039 gotta say this too. We need to bring hazing back. 1805 01:41:43.840 --> 01:41:49.119 We really really do. Yes, there's also the possibility that 1806 01:41:49.119 --> 01:41:51.960 things get taken too far, and when that does happen, 1807 01:41:52.000 --> 01:41:56.560 we need to have real action against this. However, if 1808 01:41:56.600 --> 01:42:03.119 we are talking about combat roles, he is invaluable to 1809 01:42:03.319 --> 01:42:07.920 troop readiness. I see no separation between the two. You 1810 01:42:08.000 --> 01:42:11.359 cannot have it without the other. And this is the 1811 01:42:11.399 --> 01:42:15.279 way it's been in warrior cultures since the beginning of time. 1812 01:42:16.000 --> 01:42:19.079 I'm sorry it is true. Anyway, let's move in here. 1813 01:42:19.760 --> 01:42:22.479 The Secretary of War, a title not used by the 1814 01:42:22.640 --> 01:42:27.199 US head of military since its establishment in nineteen forty seven, 1815 01:42:27.680 --> 01:42:30.720 but revived by President Trump earlier this month, told the 1816 01:42:30.720 --> 01:42:34.680 group of admirals, generals and their senior enlisted advisors he 1817 01:42:34.920 --> 01:42:38.960 was ending the war on warriors, and complained that too 1818 01:42:39.000 --> 01:42:41.359 many of their peers had been put in their roles 1819 01:42:41.680 --> 01:42:46.479 for the wrong reasons, including their race and gender. Also, 1820 01:42:46.720 --> 01:42:51.000 that's not hypothetical, that is a fact. DEI was the 1821 01:42:51.039 --> 01:42:53.560 reason why a lot of promotions took place. A lot 1822 01:42:53.640 --> 01:42:55.600 of people that were not best suited for the role 1823 01:42:56.000 --> 01:43:00.000 were put into the role because of that. But anyway, 1824 01:43:00.000 --> 01:43:02.239 Standing in front of a large American flag backdrop, he 1825 01:43:02.279 --> 01:43:06.119 attacked by name several of the leaders retired peers, telling 1826 01:43:06.159 --> 01:43:10.319 them that the department's compass heading was clear out with 1827 01:43:10.479 --> 01:43:15.359 the Charelli and Mackenzie's and Millie's and in with the Stocksdales, 1828 01:43:15.520 --> 01:43:20.640 Schwartzkoff's and patents, Hexeth said, denigrating former Army Vice Chief 1829 01:43:20.680 --> 01:43:26.399 of Staff General Peter Charelli, US Central Command Command commander 1830 01:43:26.600 --> 01:43:30.520 and Marine Corps General Kenneth McKenzie junior and ex Joint 1831 01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:34.000 chiefs of Staff Chairman and Army General Mark Milly, each 1832 01:43:34.000 --> 01:43:36.840 of whom had been critical of Trump and his administration. 1833 01:43:37.239 --> 01:43:39.760 Y'all ill bet they were, And if anybody would like 1834 01:43:39.800 --> 01:43:42.039 to look at what they did while they were in 1835 01:43:42.079 --> 01:43:44.239 the military and some of the stances that they were taking, 1836 01:43:45.039 --> 01:43:48.680 it's disturbing that these gentlemen were put in the positions 1837 01:43:48.680 --> 01:43:52.319 they were in when they had that type of politicization 1838 01:43:53.159 --> 01:43:58.479 of their roles. Inherently, the military is supposed to be 1839 01:43:58.560 --> 01:44:01.600 a political You can vote however you want to vote. 1840 01:44:01.720 --> 01:44:04.520 You can have your political ideologies. You can discuss that 1841 01:44:04.560 --> 01:44:06.680 with your peer group if you would like. But while 1842 01:44:06.680 --> 01:44:09.600 you're at work, your job is to follow the orders 1843 01:44:09.640 --> 01:44:11.680 of the guy ahead of you, and at the end 1844 01:44:11.720 --> 01:44:13.560 of the day, it's to the needs of the Marine Corps, 1845 01:44:13.680 --> 01:44:15.399 the needs of the Army, the needs of the Navy, 1846 01:44:15.479 --> 01:44:18.680 whatever the case is, and you answer if for no 1847 01:44:18.760 --> 01:44:22.479 one else to potus. You may hate the guy, you 1848 01:44:22.560 --> 01:44:24.840 may not have voted for him. You may disagree with 1849 01:44:24.920 --> 01:44:27.399 the war that's being waives in dot dot dot and 1850 01:44:27.439 --> 01:44:30.359 you don't want to be deployed to it. That sucks, 1851 01:44:30.600 --> 01:44:33.439 That really sucks. But you signed up to serve the 1852 01:44:33.520 --> 01:44:38.319 president regardless. I served under Obama. I disagree with almost 1853 01:44:38.359 --> 01:44:41.239 every single thing that man ever did or said, but 1854 01:44:41.359 --> 01:44:44.479 I served because that was what I wanted to do. 1855 01:44:45.279 --> 01:44:48.560 That was my job. Didn't matter if it was somebody 1856 01:44:48.600 --> 01:44:51.039 that I did or did not approve of. My job 1857 01:44:51.119 --> 01:44:53.640 was to follow the orders, the lawful orders of the 1858 01:44:53.640 --> 01:44:58.199 command ahead of me, plain and simple. Continuing here, it says, 1859 01:44:58.199 --> 01:45:00.159 the sooner we have the right people, the sooner we 1860 01:45:00.199 --> 01:45:04.159 can advance the right policies, he added. Heg Seth also 1861 01:45:04.439 --> 01:45:07.680 growsed about efforts to open up combat roles to women 1862 01:45:07.760 --> 01:45:11.119 and initiatives to weed out so called toxic leaders, and 1863 01:45:11.159 --> 01:45:14.439 blamed foolish and reckless politicians for having set the wrong 1864 01:45:14.479 --> 01:45:17.720 compass and causing the Pentagon to lose its way. I 1865 01:45:17.720 --> 01:45:20.239 have to say I agree one hundred percent. I absolutely 1866 01:45:20.279 --> 01:45:23.920 agree one hundred percent. Toxic leaders are a thing. They 1867 01:45:24.000 --> 01:45:26.920 absolutely are. In every job you'll ever work, there's a 1868 01:45:26.960 --> 01:45:30.319 possibility of having a toxic manager, a toxic foreman, a 1869 01:45:30.359 --> 01:45:34.600 toxic leader. That being said, a lot of these toxic leaders, 1870 01:45:34.640 --> 01:45:37.560 at least in the last fifteen years, were put in place, 1871 01:45:38.079 --> 01:45:42.239 and we're allowed to be toxic because any initiative to 1872 01:45:42.399 --> 01:45:46.319 correct actions of a lower enlisted personnel would be met 1873 01:45:46.359 --> 01:45:49.079 with a case being brought against them because, well, he's 1874 01:45:49.119 --> 01:45:52.600 only saying that to me because he's sexist, or he's racist, 1875 01:45:53.039 --> 01:45:56.399 or he's bigoted. This is that's why he's being so 1876 01:45:56.600 --> 01:45:58.880 mean to me. It's not because I suck at my 1877 01:45:59.039 --> 01:46:03.159 job or because I'm an incompetent asshole. It's because he's 1878 01:46:03.199 --> 01:46:07.359 such a bigot. And because of that, only toxic leaders 1879 01:46:07.640 --> 01:46:10.279 really saw any true advancement. There is exceptions. I'm not 1880 01:46:10.319 --> 01:46:13.319 saying this is one hundred percent rule, but anybody in 1881 01:46:13.359 --> 01:46:17.600 the military right now, I promise you understand and resonate 1882 01:46:17.680 --> 01:46:21.640 with what I'm saying right now. Resonate rather, heg Seth, 1883 01:46:21.680 --> 01:46:24.319 an Iraq war veteran who attained the rank of major 1884 01:46:24.399 --> 01:46:26.560 in the Army National Guard but became a critic of 1885 01:46:26.600 --> 01:46:29.079 de Penton's effort to open up military surface to women, 1886 01:46:29.319 --> 01:46:33.239 racial minorities and LGBT plus persons, said the War Department 1887 01:46:33.319 --> 01:46:37.359 must restore a ruthless, dispassionate, and common sense application of 1888 01:46:37.439 --> 01:46:41.520 standards that are uniform, gender neutral, and high. Again, this 1889 01:46:41.640 --> 01:46:43.720 article is trying to spin this in a negative way 1890 01:46:43.760 --> 01:46:45.920 because it's from the UK. But I have to say 1891 01:46:46.479 --> 01:46:49.079 I agree for the record, it was never about racial 1892 01:46:49.119 --> 01:46:52.279 minorities at all. If you want to see a really 1893 01:46:52.279 --> 01:46:56.279 good snapshot of the American population, look at any Victor 1894 01:46:56.479 --> 01:46:59.119 Line unit that's infantry in the Marine Corps right now. 1895 01:46:59.520 --> 01:47:03.720 You will see people of all religious backgrounds, all socioeconomic backgrounds, 1896 01:47:03.800 --> 01:47:07.439 all racial backgrounds. Some of them are a part of 1897 01:47:07.479 --> 01:47:09.760 the alphabet people, some of them Martin, it doesn't matter. 1898 01:47:10.319 --> 01:47:13.199 And at this current time you'll see women. And here's 1899 01:47:13.239 --> 01:47:17.119 my issue with that. I don't inherently have a problem 1900 01:47:17.279 --> 01:47:20.239 with a woman in combat roles if they can hold 1901 01:47:20.520 --> 01:47:24.840 the standard. If you can carry a two hundred and 1902 01:47:24.880 --> 01:47:29.000 fifty pound dude with his whole kit on and his pack, 1903 01:47:29.479 --> 01:47:32.000 and you can fireman carry him to get him to 1904 01:47:32.079 --> 01:47:35.720 safety if he goes down, hey, get after it. If 1905 01:47:35.800 --> 01:47:38.000 you can meet the standards, I got no problem with it. 1906 01:47:38.359 --> 01:47:41.479 If you can't, then you don't belong in a combat role. 1907 01:47:42.760 --> 01:47:47.640 That's not sexist or racist or bigoted to say this 1908 01:47:48.800 --> 01:47:53.239 combat doesn't care what color you are, what sex you are, 1909 01:47:53.640 --> 01:47:56.720 if you're a good person. When bullets start flying and 1910 01:47:56.760 --> 01:48:00.319 people start going down, the rules of what is quote 1911 01:48:00.399 --> 01:48:05.600 unquote correct, politically correct and DEI and all it that 1912 01:48:05.760 --> 01:48:10.199 is instantly removed from the conversation. It is now about 1913 01:48:10.239 --> 01:48:13.439 what you can do and what you can't do. So 1914 01:48:13.560 --> 01:48:16.119 heg Sath is trying to put that back in the forefront, 1915 01:48:16.159 --> 01:48:18.600 and I agree. He told the assembled leaders that he 1916 01:48:18.680 --> 01:48:21.840 was issuing a directive to ensure that every designated combat 1917 01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:24.840 arms role in all branches returned to the highest male 1918 01:48:24.880 --> 01:48:28.720 standards only because that's how it should be, all but 1919 01:48:28.880 --> 01:48:32.239 reversing the twenty fifteen directive from the Defense Secretary Ashton 1920 01:48:32.279 --> 01:48:35.119 Carter to open up all combat roles to women. And 1921 01:48:35.199 --> 01:48:39.840 for the record, personally, I know women veterans who are 1922 01:48:39.920 --> 01:48:43.119 super happy about this. As a matter of fact, very 1923 01:48:43.159 --> 01:48:46.520 close to me. I have women who are veterans who 1924 01:48:46.600 --> 01:48:51.399 disagree with having females anywhere near combat roles because of 1925 01:48:51.399 --> 01:48:53.840 the reasons that I'm saying right now, if you don't 1926 01:48:53.880 --> 01:48:56.520 meet the male level physical standards for combat positions, it's 1927 01:48:56.560 --> 01:48:59.359 time for a new position or a new profession. He said. 1928 01:48:59.600 --> 01:49:02.439 If women can make it excellent. If women can make 1929 01:49:02.479 --> 01:49:05.000 it excellent, If not, it is what it is. But 1930 01:49:05.079 --> 01:49:08.199 if that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, 1931 01:49:08.600 --> 01:49:12.079 so be it. I love this, I absolutely love this. 1932 01:49:12.520 --> 01:49:16.079 The War Secretary also claimed that the Pentagon had lowered 1933 01:49:16.119 --> 01:49:19.239 standards to hit racial quotas as well, which it did, 1934 01:49:19.680 --> 01:49:26.880 and said that the revised standards of the promulg promulgated promulgating. 1935 01:49:29.159 --> 01:49:31.880 I actually don't know what that word is. The standards 1936 01:49:31.880 --> 01:49:33.840 that he was talking about are based on what he 1937 01:49:33.960 --> 01:49:37.560 called the nineteen ninety test, which compares today's standards to 1938 01:49:37.600 --> 01:49:40.479 those in nineteen ninety, a time when women were barred 1939 01:49:40.479 --> 01:49:44.760 from combat roles and LGBT persons were banned from serving. 1940 01:49:45.479 --> 01:49:48.520 The nineteen nineties test is simple. What we are telling 1941 01:49:48.680 --> 01:49:51.760 are what were the military standards in nineteen ninety and 1942 01:49:51.840 --> 01:49:54.720 if they have changed, tell me why it was necessary 1943 01:49:55.239 --> 01:49:59.279 a necessary change based on the evolving and landscape of 1944 01:49:59.319 --> 01:50:03.840 combat or was the change due to a softening, weakening, 1945 01:50:03.960 --> 01:50:08.840 or gender based pursuit of other priorities. That's a very 1946 01:50:08.880 --> 01:50:14.159 basic question. If the standards changed, explain why that was 1947 01:50:14.199 --> 01:50:18.319 a good idea. Because this standard made it more of 1948 01:50:18.359 --> 01:50:22.039 an issue for us to be combat ready. And if 1949 01:50:22.079 --> 01:50:25.439 you cannot provide that, it goes away. In addition to 1950 01:50:25.520 --> 01:50:27.279 rolling back standards to make it harder for women to 1951 01:50:27.279 --> 01:50:29.920 serve in combat. Heg Seth also told military leaders he 1952 01:50:30.039 --> 01:50:32.520 was rolling back long standing policies meant to prevent hazing 1953 01:50:32.560 --> 01:50:36.479 and bullying in the ranks. He complained the Pentagon initiatives 1954 01:50:36.479 --> 01:50:39.439 to eliminate toxic leadership, including races and sexi's behavior by 1955 01:50:39.439 --> 01:50:43.199 supervisors had effectively lowered standards and empowered complainers to attack 1956 01:50:43.279 --> 01:50:47.239 effective leaders. This is true direct quote here. Real toxic 1957 01:50:47.319 --> 01:50:51.960 leadership is endangering subordinates with low standards. Real toxic leadership 1958 01:50:52.000 --> 01:50:55.800 is promoting people based on immutable characteristics or quotas instead 1959 01:50:55.840 --> 01:50:59.680 of based on merit. Real toxic leadership is promoting destructive 1960 01:50:59.680 --> 01:51:03.159 ideas that are in anathema to the Constitution and the 1961 01:51:03.279 --> 01:51:06.840 laws of the nature and Nature's God, he said, adding 1962 01:51:06.920 --> 01:51:10.199 later that the definition of toxic has been turned upside 1963 01:51:10.239 --> 01:51:13.680 down and the definitions of bullying and hazing have been 1964 01:51:13.680 --> 01:51:18.880 weaponized and bastardized. I agree with every single point that 1965 01:51:18.960 --> 01:51:21.279 he made in the speech, and if you haven't watched 1966 01:51:21.319 --> 01:51:25.319 the entire speech, I highly recommend that you do. But 1967 01:51:25.399 --> 01:51:28.159 this kind of goes in line with what I think 1968 01:51:28.239 --> 01:51:30.800 is about to take place. I don't know this for 1969 01:51:30.840 --> 01:51:33.640 a fact, I really don't. I am saying this with 1970 01:51:33.840 --> 01:51:38.920 no basis whatsoever, but judging from the writing on the 1971 01:51:38.960 --> 01:51:43.560 walls here and acknowledging the telltale signs, I believe that 1972 01:51:43.640 --> 01:51:46.960 within the next before Trump gets out of office, I 1973 01:51:46.960 --> 01:51:50.520 should say it would not surprise me in the slightest 1974 01:51:51.039 --> 01:51:54.439 if America does go back into war in some way 1975 01:51:54.720 --> 01:51:58.600 against someone I don't know who. There's there's a list 1976 01:51:58.640 --> 01:52:01.920 of countries that very well could be the new bad 1977 01:52:01.960 --> 01:52:04.800 guy that you're gonna hear about on your mainstream media source. 1978 01:52:05.840 --> 01:52:09.079 It just makes sense to me. America is a warring tribe. 1979 01:52:09.560 --> 01:52:14.079 We always have been. Up until COVID we had only 1980 01:52:14.159 --> 01:52:19.319 seen what was it, nine years of peace in over 1981 01:52:19.359 --> 01:52:23.079 two hundred years of existence. There's a reason for that. 1982 01:52:24.159 --> 01:52:27.319 We do best when we are at war America as 1983 01:52:27.319 --> 01:52:29.479 a whole. Now, I'm not saying that we should go 1984 01:52:29.479 --> 01:52:31.760 pick a fight. I'm not saying that we should go 1985 01:52:32.079 --> 01:52:35.520 try to give some people some freedom. We na not that. 1986 01:52:36.119 --> 01:52:38.560 There are plenty of bad guys around the world that 1987 01:52:38.600 --> 01:52:42.880 need some killing for sure, and if America is going 1988 01:52:42.960 --> 01:52:46.600 to play the role of the world police, then perhaps 1989 01:52:46.640 --> 01:52:49.640 it's time that we do just that. I don't know 1990 01:52:49.720 --> 01:52:51.439 this to be a fact, it's very possible that we'll 1991 01:52:51.439 --> 01:52:54.680 be going to war against China or Russia or Iran 1992 01:52:55.000 --> 01:52:58.840 or Venezuela or there's a list. There's literally a list. 1993 01:52:59.000 --> 01:53:02.239 I don't know. There's a bunch of possibilities here. But 1994 01:53:02.359 --> 01:53:05.720 the fact that they are upping signing bonuses the fact 1995 01:53:05.720 --> 01:53:10.359 that they are trying to recruit all different people right now, 1996 01:53:10.640 --> 01:53:13.079 and the fact that they are trying to raise the standards. 1997 01:53:13.239 --> 01:53:16.800 Not to mention, they are talking about making it more 1998 01:53:16.840 --> 01:53:22.920 accessible for military members to get on gear. Yes, we're 1999 01:53:22.920 --> 01:53:27.039 talking doing a cycle getting some peptides in you. Which 2000 01:53:27.439 --> 01:53:30.880 Before anybody says that that's unfair and unconstitutional, keep in 2001 01:53:30.880 --> 01:53:35.000 mind China is giving their troops testosterone right now, and 2002 01:53:35.039 --> 01:53:37.319 I'm not against that. For the record, I don't know 2003 01:53:37.359 --> 01:53:39.479 why you wouldn't want your military to be at their 2004 01:53:39.520 --> 01:53:42.600 absolute best and be the most efficient killing machines that 2005 01:53:42.640 --> 01:53:46.840 you could have. That's their job now. I also believe 2006 01:53:46.840 --> 01:53:51.920 that this should be done under the watch of the 2007 01:53:51.960 --> 01:53:54.319 medical staff and personnel. I don't think that you should 2008 01:53:54.319 --> 01:53:58.479 be giving your military members the go ahead to go 2009 01:53:58.520 --> 01:54:02.560 and find street drugs in locker rooms and gyms and 2010 01:54:02.600 --> 01:54:05.479 things like that and do this themselves. I'm saying you 2011 01:54:05.520 --> 01:54:07.600 have to have a down cycle, you have to have 2012 01:54:07.640 --> 01:54:10.119 an upcycle. There's a way to do this healthily. Right, 2013 01:54:10.600 --> 01:54:13.439 So every year military members have to go in for 2014 01:54:13.479 --> 01:54:17.000 a yearly physical, why not have the person conducting the 2015 01:54:17.039 --> 01:54:20.000 physical and doing the blood work also be the one 2016 01:54:20.000 --> 01:54:24.399 to administer the testosterone. And then the next year they 2017 01:54:24.399 --> 01:54:26.039 don't get some, the next year they do. And you 2018 01:54:26.119 --> 01:54:30.279 do this in a productive and healthy way. And if 2019 01:54:30.319 --> 01:54:33.560 there is a situation where this one individual does not 2020 01:54:33.600 --> 01:54:36.640 need any more testosterone, they don't need it, you have 2021 01:54:36.720 --> 01:54:39.199 medical staffers that could be the ones to make that determination. 2022 01:54:39.560 --> 01:54:42.439 I'm here for this. I am so so on board 2023 01:54:42.439 --> 01:54:46.479 with this. But anyway, yeah, Secretary of War is putting 2024 01:54:46.640 --> 01:54:50.800 the backbone, reinstating it, I should say, back into the 2025 01:54:50.920 --> 01:54:54.279 US military. Praise be to God. All right now that 2026 01:54:54.359 --> 01:54:57.319 being said, as we were talking about American military, Oregon 2027 01:54:57.399 --> 01:55:02.840 mayors denounced Trump's troop deployment in Portland. That's right, Portland, 2028 01:55:02.840 --> 01:55:06.359 Oregon is about to have troops deployed to it to 2029 01:55:06.399 --> 01:55:09.079 protect the federal buildings. We're going to talk about that 2030 01:55:09.159 --> 01:55:11.680 in the implications a little bit more, but for now, 2031 01:55:11.880 --> 01:55:14.720 let's listen in to KGW News. 2032 01:55:14.760 --> 01:55:16.199 For in Cook now a Catherine. 2033 01:55:16.199 --> 01:55:18.680 More than a dozen local mayors are now pushing back 2034 01:55:18.720 --> 01:55:21.479 against the President's plan to deploy troops David. 2035 01:55:21.600 --> 01:55:24.600 With that show of solidarity, that group of mayors sent 2036 01:55:24.640 --> 01:55:28.279 a message this is not just a Portland issue. They 2037 01:55:28.319 --> 01:55:31.039 also stressed that the National Guard troops caught in the 2038 01:55:31.039 --> 01:55:33.960 middle of all of this are our neighbors and friends. 2039 01:55:34.960 --> 01:55:37.359 The number of troops that we want or need is zero. 2040 01:55:37.520 --> 01:55:41.960 The number of Oregon mayors backing Portland Mayor Keith Wilson seventeen. 2041 01:55:42.479 --> 01:55:46.239 On Monday, they stood behind him literally and figuratively, denouncing 2042 01:55:46.239 --> 01:55:50.079 the Trump administration's deployment of Oregon National Guard members to 2043 01:55:50.119 --> 01:55:53.640 what the President referred to as war ravaged Portland. Among 2044 01:55:53.680 --> 01:55:55.960 them Beaverton Mayor Lacey Batty. 2045 01:55:55.720 --> 01:55:58.279 We stand here today to tell the President he's listening 2046 01:55:58.439 --> 01:56:01.920 to the wrong people. The President cannot watch footage from 2047 01:56:01.960 --> 01:56:04.279 over a half a decade ago and believe this is 2048 01:56:04.319 --> 01:56:06.119 the Portland that we're standing in today. 2049 01:56:06.359 --> 01:56:09.399 In a joint statement, the mayors said they'd pursue all 2050 01:56:09.479 --> 01:56:13.840 legal and legislative options to deny their jurisdiction's resources from 2051 01:56:13.920 --> 01:56:18.399 supporting militarized federal actions, but to National Guard members themselves. 2052 01:56:18.600 --> 01:56:23.000 The mayors, including Wilsonville's Sean O'Neil, offered only respect. 2053 01:56:23.159 --> 01:56:27.000 I want to be clear, my criticism is directed at 2054 01:56:27.039 --> 01:56:31.720 President Trump's decision, not at the men and women of 2055 01:56:31.760 --> 01:56:33.199 the Oregon National Guard. 2056 01:56:33.479 --> 01:56:36.960 When these volunteers answered the call to service, they made 2057 01:56:37.000 --> 01:56:39.399 a solemn promise to their communities and to the nation 2058 01:56:40.520 --> 01:56:42.960 that the federal administration is now dishonoring. 2059 01:56:43.279 --> 01:56:46.479 Mayor Joe Buck of Lake Oswego said, it's worse than that. 2060 01:56:46.720 --> 01:56:49.880 Being used as props to feign safety is actually not 2061 01:56:50.039 --> 01:56:51.000 safe for anyone. 2062 01:56:51.119 --> 01:56:55.239 Many living in the suburbs whose mayors spoke out appreciated 2063 01:56:55.279 --> 01:56:55.800 what they did. 2064 01:56:55.920 --> 01:56:59.479 Personally, I'm grateful for that united front because I also 2065 01:57:00.520 --> 01:57:06.920 reinforces what our governor has said about resisting the concept 2066 01:57:06.960 --> 01:57:10.399 that Portland is war ravaged and we need federal troops. 2067 01:57:10.479 --> 01:57:11.359 You can go up to Portland. 2068 01:57:11.399 --> 01:57:12.840 There's no riots in the streets. 2069 01:57:12.840 --> 01:57:14.399 There's none of that stuff going on around here. 2070 01:57:14.920 --> 01:57:16.039 I don't know what he's talking about. 2071 01:57:16.159 --> 01:57:20.159 The justification for their presence in our cities is either 2072 01:57:20.159 --> 01:57:25.479 a misunderstanding or a lie. I hope it is a 2073 01:57:25.479 --> 01:57:27.840 misunderstanding that we can soon resolve. 2074 01:57:29.600 --> 01:57:32.159 When it comes to potential protests in the face of 2075 01:57:32.279 --> 01:57:35.520 National Guard troops. The mayor's urged people to be peaceful. 2076 01:57:35.800 --> 01:57:38.600 They noted once again that Guard members are community members 2077 01:57:38.760 --> 01:57:42.119 whose lives are also being impacted by the president's decision. 2078 01:57:42.960 --> 01:57:44.840 All right, so let's break down a few things that 2079 01:57:44.880 --> 01:57:49.520 they just said. Now, yes, it is within the president's 2080 01:57:49.600 --> 01:57:52.920 jurisdiction to send Article ten troops, which is what they 2081 01:57:52.960 --> 01:57:56.760 are to protect federal buildings. So I actually did a 2082 01:57:56.800 --> 01:57:58.720 little extra deep dive into this, and we're going to 2083 01:57:58.760 --> 01:58:01.039 read this article about it now from NBC News, and 2084 01:58:01.079 --> 01:58:03.000 of course it's gonna make it out to be horrible 2085 01:58:03.000 --> 01:58:06.359 that Trump is doing this. Here's the deal. Portland is 2086 01:58:06.359 --> 01:58:09.319 war ravaged, and I know that from people that live 2087 01:58:09.399 --> 01:58:12.159 in and around the Portland area. The eyewitnesses and the 2088 01:58:12.159 --> 01:58:14.399 inhabitants of Portland that they just had on the news 2089 01:58:14.680 --> 01:58:17.000 are living in a fantasy world. Now, I am not 2090 01:58:17.039 --> 01:58:20.279 saying a fan they're living in because of cartels or 2091 01:58:20.319 --> 01:58:24.479 the homeless population, or it's a combination. It is a 2092 01:58:24.479 --> 01:58:27.159 cesspool Portland and it has been for quite some time. 2093 01:58:27.199 --> 01:58:29.560 As a matter of fact, friends of mine that I 2094 01:58:29.600 --> 01:58:31.920 had that live in Portland or outside of Portland, they 2095 01:58:31.920 --> 01:58:33.800 would go into the city to go do a thing 2096 01:58:33.840 --> 01:58:37.880 and event, whatever the case is. Multiple violent car break 2097 01:58:37.920 --> 01:58:42.279 ins have happened every day, every single day. There is 2098 01:58:42.359 --> 01:58:45.520 a homeless community there that is so large that it 2099 01:58:45.560 --> 01:58:48.840 has basically taken over a massive section of the city. 2100 01:58:49.079 --> 01:58:52.680 And these aren't just you know, just drug users that 2101 01:58:52.720 --> 01:58:55.439 are not bothering anybody. These are people that are going 2102 01:58:55.479 --> 01:58:59.399 out and committing violent crimes against the citizens of this city. 2103 01:58:59.800 --> 01:59:02.399 And the mayor is doing nothing about it. The governor 2104 01:59:02.640 --> 01:59:06.000 is absolutely not doing anything about it, because that's just 2105 01:59:06.079 --> 01:59:10.520 what they do. And so now this whole thing started. 2106 01:59:10.720 --> 01:59:15.439 The National Guard deployment to Portland is because of the 2107 01:59:15.479 --> 01:59:19.000 ICE raids. There are so many protests because of what 2108 01:59:19.119 --> 01:59:23.159 ICE is doing currently, and the last time Portland had 2109 01:59:23.159 --> 01:59:27.479 protests like that, federal buildings were targets of some of 2110 01:59:27.520 --> 01:59:32.479 the protesters. Currently, the National Guard is being deployed as 2111 01:59:32.520 --> 01:59:37.680 of this moment, specifically to guard federal buildings in the 2112 01:59:37.680 --> 01:59:41.520 city of Portland. And that is it. But this also 2113 01:59:41.560 --> 01:59:43.680 goes in line with what Trump is talking about doing 2114 01:59:43.720 --> 01:59:47.079 as far as sending troops to big cities all over 2115 01:59:47.079 --> 01:59:49.720 the country to help clean up. Because here's the deal. 2116 01:59:51.159 --> 01:59:55.520 If ICE raids take place and then there is I 2117 01:59:55.560 --> 01:59:57.399 know what people are gonna say, don't they have police 2118 01:59:57.399 --> 02:00:00.159 officers to protect these buildings. They have local police and 2119 02:00:00.199 --> 02:00:02.359 stay police. Why would you need federal troops. Why do 2120 02:00:02.359 --> 02:00:04.640 you need to deploy the National Guard? Hear me out 2121 02:00:05.560 --> 02:00:09.760 protests take place? Cool police officers now have to leave 2122 02:00:09.840 --> 02:00:13.479 their otherwise appointed place of duty to don riot shields 2123 02:00:13.520 --> 02:00:18.960 and quell the riot. Okay, now more crimes can be 2124 02:00:18.960 --> 02:00:21.399 committed all over the city because the police that are 2125 02:00:21.439 --> 02:00:24.439 in this area have been allocated to deal with rioters. 2126 02:00:25.279 --> 02:00:28.680 So in a way, the federal buildings are being protected 2127 02:00:28.680 --> 02:00:30.960 by the National Guard so that the police don't have 2128 02:00:31.039 --> 02:00:33.439 to have any personnel that way, so that the police 2129 02:00:33.439 --> 02:00:36.800 can go and better effectively do their job. As of 2130 02:00:36.840 --> 02:00:39.359 this moment, the National Guard are not going to be 2131 02:00:39.439 --> 02:00:43.840 used to do anything towards protesters or rioters. Would that 2132 02:00:44.239 --> 02:00:49.079 job change, would the mission statement shift? We shall see. 2133 02:00:49.399 --> 02:00:52.319 But as of this moment, they are seeing so much 2134 02:00:52.359 --> 02:00:55.439 backlash and protests because of this, and it's almost like 2135 02:00:55.520 --> 02:00:58.119 the people are proving the point of why they need 2136 02:00:58.159 --> 02:01:00.399 to be there in the first place. It's very interesting. 2137 02:01:00.399 --> 02:01:02.039 Now I understand a lot of people are gonna say, well, 2138 02:01:02.079 --> 02:01:03.920 this is the first step to living under a police state. 2139 02:01:04.479 --> 02:01:07.439 I hear this, I see what they're saying here, But 2140 02:01:07.520 --> 02:01:10.680 it's not going on all over the state. It's only 2141 02:01:10.720 --> 02:01:14.039 in the city with the highest crime in the entire state. 2142 02:01:15.359 --> 02:01:18.239 And honestly, at this point, the police are over taxed 2143 02:01:18.279 --> 02:01:21.239 and overburdened by the high rates of crime in Portland. 2144 02:01:21.880 --> 02:01:24.960 They are happy and they are really looking forward to 2145 02:01:24.960 --> 02:01:27.600 getting the help. But let's go ahead and read this 2146 02:01:27.720 --> 02:01:32.119 article here. Oregon sues Trump administration over deployment of National 2147 02:01:32.119 --> 02:01:35.039 Guard troops in Portland. The suit comes a day after 2148 02:01:35.079 --> 02:01:38.000 Trump announced he was authorizing the Guard to use full 2149 02:01:38.039 --> 02:01:41.399 force in Portland. Let's go ahead and read in here. 2150 02:01:41.880 --> 02:01:43.880 The Story of Oregon in the city of Portland have 2151 02:01:43.960 --> 02:01:46.199 sued the I'm sorry, The State of Oregon in the 2152 02:01:46.199 --> 02:01:48.600 city of Portland have sued the Trump administration to stop 2153 02:01:48.640 --> 02:01:51.479 it from deploying National Guard troops in the city. The 2154 02:01:51.520 --> 02:01:54.800 suit name's President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegsat and the 2155 02:01:54.800 --> 02:01:59.279 Defense Department, Homeland Security Christy Nome and Department of Homeland Security, 2156 02:02:00.119 --> 02:02:02.720 and the Department of Homeland Security as a whole as defendants. 2157 02:02:03.199 --> 02:02:06.039 It asks a federal court in Portland to stop the 2158 02:02:06.039 --> 02:02:09.960 Trump administration from deploying troops and declare the deployment unlawful 2159 02:02:10.479 --> 02:02:13.640 even though it is absolutely lawful. Look it up. While 2160 02:02:13.640 --> 02:02:16.880 White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said that the Trump's actions 2161 02:02:16.920 --> 02:02:20.159 were lawful and that they would make Portland safer. President 2162 02:02:20.199 --> 02:02:22.600 Trump is using his lawful authority to direct the National 2163 02:02:22.640 --> 02:02:26.359 Guard to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland following 2164 02:02:26.600 --> 02:02:29.720 months of violent riots where officers have been assaulted and 2165 02:02:29.840 --> 02:02:35.399 docksed by left wing rioters, She said yes. Pentagon spokesperson 2166 02:02:35.439 --> 02:02:38.319 Sean Parnell said in a statement that Trump directed Headset 2167 02:02:38.399 --> 02:02:40.960 to call the Oregon National Guard into federal service for 2168 02:02:41.000 --> 02:02:44.520 sixty days to protect immigration and Customs enforcement and other 2169 02:02:44.560 --> 02:02:47.720 government personnel in the city. The President called for these 2170 02:02:47.840 --> 02:02:51.439 two hundred guardsmen to deter rampant lawlessness within Portland and 2171 02:02:51.520 --> 02:02:55.159 to enable federal law enforcement officers to safely conduct their duties. 2172 02:02:55.560 --> 02:02:58.920 DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment 2173 02:02:59.079 --> 02:03:02.359 on the lawsuits on it. In the suit, Oregon in 2174 02:03:02.399 --> 02:03:04.720 Portland claim the federal government does not have the grounds 2175 02:03:04.760 --> 02:03:06.800 to call in the Guard and said the city has 2176 02:03:07.159 --> 02:03:11.359 seen small, quote unquote protests near an immigration and Customs 2177 02:03:11.479 --> 02:03:16.239 enforcement facility in recent weeks. That is, that's kind of 2178 02:03:16.359 --> 02:03:19.000 underselling it. When the President and I spoke yesterday, I 2179 02:03:19.000 --> 02:03:21.640 told him in a plain language that there is no 2180 02:03:21.760 --> 02:03:26.399 insurrection or threat to public safety that necessitates military intervention 2181 02:03:26.479 --> 02:03:29.479 in Portland or any other city in our state. Democratic 2182 02:03:29.479 --> 02:03:34.199 Governor Tina Cotech, which some might get her A Cotext, 2183 02:03:34.399 --> 02:03:37.399 said in a news release Sunday, despite this and all 2184 02:03:37.439 --> 02:03:41.199 evidence to the contrary, he has chosen to disregard Oregonian 2185 02:03:41.279 --> 02:03:44.920 safety and ability to govern ourselves. This is not necessary 2186 02:03:45.159 --> 02:03:49.880 and is unlawful, and it will make Oregonians less safe. 2187 02:03:50.079 --> 02:03:54.720 I don't understand this. I'm trying trying to put myself 2188 02:03:54.760 --> 02:04:00.800 in the shoes here. How does having two hundred National 2189 02:04:00.840 --> 02:04:05.439 Guard troops guard federal buildings in personnel? How does that 2190 02:04:05.520 --> 02:04:12.319 make Oregonians less safe? I don't understand. If what she 2191 02:04:12.479 --> 02:04:15.319 is saying is true, and that there is no unlawful 2192 02:04:15.319 --> 02:04:19.560 insurrection going on in Oregon, then these sixty days should 2193 02:04:19.560 --> 02:04:24.720 be very quiet and nothing would take place, and everybody's 2194 02:04:24.720 --> 02:04:28.000 gonna look at Trump like he's an idiot after this, right, 2195 02:04:29.079 --> 02:04:32.840 I don't understand it. But continuing on here, crime statistics 2196 02:04:32.840 --> 02:04:36.920 provided by the Portland Police Bureau, Strategic Services Division and 2197 02:04:37.000 --> 02:04:39.239 to create crime in the city. So far this year 2198 02:04:39.279 --> 02:04:42.520 is on par with the same period last year. The 2199 02:04:42.560 --> 02:04:46.439 current year to date total of offensive tallies thirty seven thousand, 2200 02:04:46.560 --> 02:04:49.319 eight hundred and ninety three, while at the same time 2201 02:04:49.399 --> 02:04:52.640 last year total thirty seven thousand, eight hundred and fifty nine. 2202 02:04:54.960 --> 02:04:58.039 That's that's not a good thing. That's not like a 2203 02:04:58.079 --> 02:05:00.560 thing to be proud of, it says. However, there was 2204 02:05:00.600 --> 02:05:03.479 a fifty percent drop in homicides and a four percent 2205 02:05:03.560 --> 02:05:08.800 decline in aggravated assaults. Simple assaults, however, increased by eight percent. 2206 02:05:09.840 --> 02:05:13.880 That's again, Yeah, you're fifty percent down in homicides. That's solid, 2207 02:05:14.399 --> 02:05:19.560 that's good. Four percent decline and an eight percent incline 2208 02:05:19.600 --> 02:05:26.000 is not like okay? Sure techs Cotech said at a 2209 02:05:26.079 --> 02:05:29.239 media availability events Sunday evening that Trump had taken away 2210 02:05:29.279 --> 02:05:31.720 her control of the National Guard and that the state 2211 02:05:31.840 --> 02:05:34.479 did not have any information about a timeline for deployment. 2212 02:05:34.640 --> 02:05:38.439 Literally just said sixty days, okay. She also said she 2213 02:05:38.520 --> 02:05:40.600 did not have information about the number of troops set 2214 02:05:40.600 --> 02:05:43.199 to be activated or whether they would be armed. The 2215 02:05:43.319 --> 02:05:47.000 number is two hundred and yes, they will. How is 2216 02:05:47.039 --> 02:05:50.479 it that we are able to get this from that's crazy. 2217 02:05:51.039 --> 02:05:54.119 The plaintiff claim that the administration's moved to federalize the 2218 02:05:54.159 --> 02:05:57.880 Guard violates the tenth Amendment of the Constitution, saying police 2219 02:05:57.920 --> 02:06:02.479 power lies with the states. Oh okay, they're gonna try 2220 02:06:02.520 --> 02:06:05.840 to misunderstand that. That's dope. Speaking to reporter Sunday, State 2221 02:06:05.880 --> 02:06:09.479 Attorney General Dan Rayfield, a Democrat, compared the move to 2222 02:06:09.560 --> 02:06:12.840 the administration's efforts to deploy National Guard to Los Angeles 2223 02:06:12.960 --> 02:06:16.720 and Washington, DC. Yeah, let's look at that. DC is 2224 02:06:16.800 --> 02:06:20.079 safer now than it was in the past few years. LA. 2225 02:06:20.239 --> 02:06:23.800 Those riots that were going off the rails got shut 2226 02:06:23.880 --> 02:06:28.760 down relatively quickly. Interesting how that worked out, because now 2227 02:06:28.880 --> 02:06:32.199 you had more police force on the riots rather than 2228 02:06:32.239 --> 02:06:35.800 the police guarding buildings because there were troops guarding the buildings. 2229 02:06:36.920 --> 02:06:39.920 Interesting how that works. A federal judge in California ruled 2230 02:06:39.960 --> 02:06:42.920 earlier this month that the administration illegally deployed the Guard 2231 02:06:43.560 --> 02:06:46.760 and the Marines to Los Angeles in June. US District 2232 02:06:46.840 --> 02:06:50.560 Judge Charles Breyers said the administration violated the nineteenth century 2233 02:06:50.680 --> 02:06:55.000 law called the Posse Comatatis Act, which prohibits using armed 2234 02:06:55.000 --> 02:06:58.680 force for domestic law enforcement. If that rings a bell 2235 02:06:58.720 --> 02:07:03.640 to anybody, posse commitatus or commatatis, that is what the 2236 02:07:03.920 --> 02:07:10.079 sovereign citizens used to call themselves posse coommatatus. It's a yeah, 2237 02:07:10.159 --> 02:07:15.199 they they misinterpret the law for what that is. What 2238 02:07:15.399 --> 02:07:18.199 that is basically in reference to, is back in the 2239 02:07:18.399 --> 02:07:22.840 nineteenth century eighteen hundreds, if you were living out in 2240 02:07:22.920 --> 02:07:25.239 the western frontier in an area that did not have 2241 02:07:25.520 --> 02:07:28.720 a sheriff or any real arm of the law, it 2242 02:07:28.840 --> 02:07:31.800 was up to the citizens to combine forces to make 2243 02:07:31.840 --> 02:07:35.680 their own posse right to go out and enact law 2244 02:07:36.079 --> 02:07:41.479 at their discretion. Yes, this led to some bad things happening, 2245 02:07:41.920 --> 02:07:45.119 but it gave the citizens the right to basically deputize 2246 02:07:45.159 --> 02:07:49.920 themselves in the case where it was needed. The sovereign 2247 02:07:50.000 --> 02:07:53.600 citizens decided that that means right now they can deputize 2248 02:07:53.600 --> 02:07:57.800 themselves and make themselves law enforcement to a different type 2249 02:07:57.840 --> 02:08:00.520 of scale. But yeah, that's why they're also idiots, and 2250 02:08:00.600 --> 02:08:02.640 why not a single one of them have ever actually 2251 02:08:02.760 --> 02:08:06.800 won a case in court anyway. Trump said Saturday that 2252 02:08:07.039 --> 02:08:10.439 he was directing Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to Portland, 2253 02:08:10.720 --> 02:08:14.119 calling the city war ravaged. He said Guard members had 2254 02:08:14.199 --> 02:08:16.680 to protect ice facilities that he claimed were under siege 2255 02:08:16.680 --> 02:08:20.319 from attack by Antifa and other domestic terrorists. Trump's announcement 2256 02:08:20.399 --> 02:08:23.000 came after he spoke negatively about Portland, claiming there was 2257 02:08:23.039 --> 02:08:27.000 anarchy in the city. That's not you know. A co 2258 02:08:27.159 --> 02:08:30.760 tech denied such characterizations at a news conference Saturday and 2259 02:08:30.840 --> 02:08:33.239 said she shared her assessment with Trump. She added that 2260 02:08:33.319 --> 02:08:35.800 she had been in contact with other Democratic governors who 2261 02:08:35.840 --> 02:08:40.319 faced similar threats from the administration, such as Illinois and California. 2262 02:08:40.720 --> 02:08:42.960 Trump had threatened to deploy the National Guard in multiple 2263 02:08:43.000 --> 02:08:46.680 cities run by Democrat mayors, including Chicago, Baltimore, and New Orleans, 2264 02:08:47.000 --> 02:08:48.880 and he really does need to. The mayor of New 2265 02:08:49.000 --> 02:08:52.319 Orleans is now being indicted for federal charges. They caught 2266 02:08:52.359 --> 02:08:54.920 her sleeping with one of her bodyguards while she was 2267 02:08:55.039 --> 02:08:58.199 like on duty, and then they've also found a lot 2268 02:08:58.279 --> 02:09:01.920 of embezzlement cases against her. So she's gonna see jail time. 2269 02:09:02.199 --> 02:09:05.439 We can only hope and pray, but yes, she in 2270 02:09:05.560 --> 02:09:08.439 the city of New Orleans. I can speak on behalf 2271 02:09:08.479 --> 02:09:10.880 of somebody who at least represents New Orleans in a 2272 02:09:10.920 --> 02:09:15.119 small way, but represents Louisiana in a larger scale. I 2273 02:09:15.279 --> 02:09:18.680 can speak on behalf of this. Yes, send troops to 2274 02:09:18.800 --> 02:09:21.840 New Orleans. Please, for the love of God, we're number 2275 02:09:21.920 --> 02:09:25.000 three in the country of homicides. We were number one 2276 02:09:25.079 --> 02:09:27.880 for a bit. That going from number one to number 2277 02:09:27.920 --> 02:09:32.439 three is not like something to celebrate. We need the help. Absolutely. 2278 02:09:33.720 --> 02:09:36.359 He authorized the deployment of the National Guard troops in Washington, 2279 02:09:36.399 --> 02:09:38.920 d C. In August. He also established a task for 2280 02:09:39.039 --> 02:09:41.960 US this month to mobilize troops in Memphis, Tennessee, a 2281 02:09:42.079 --> 02:09:45.279 move that the Republican Governor Bill Lee supported. And I 2282 02:09:45.319 --> 02:09:49.560 should also mention the Republican governor of Louisiana really supports 2283 02:09:49.640 --> 02:09:51.960 him sending troops to New Orleans. He actually said, and 2284 02:09:52.079 --> 02:09:54.880 I quote, start in Shreveport and work your way all 2285 02:09:54.920 --> 02:09:56.960 the way down to New Orleans. We could use the help. 2286 02:09:57.880 --> 02:10:00.960 Shreveport is one of our northernmost big He's just everybody's 2287 02:10:00.960 --> 02:10:07.279 clear anyway, Moving on, this is an interesting one. The 2288 02:10:07.479 --> 02:10:13.119 US Defense stocks jump on Pentagon's plan to double missile production. 2289 02:10:14.600 --> 02:10:14.800 Now. 2290 02:10:15.119 --> 02:10:17.800 I just wanted to bring this up because things took 2291 02:10:18.239 --> 02:10:23.239 a rather aggressive turn right a couple of days ago. Again, 2292 02:10:23.399 --> 02:10:27.520 as of time of recording, on Monday, the Pentagon was saying, hey, 2293 02:10:29.079 --> 02:10:34.199 north of Grumman RTX formally rate the on We need you, 2294 02:10:34.640 --> 02:10:38.840 we need you to double your production of missiles and 2295 02:10:38.880 --> 02:10:43.159 they're like, wait for like for real and Lockheed, I 2296 02:10:43.199 --> 02:10:45.600 should say Lockheed also, and you're like, is there a 2297 02:10:45.680 --> 02:10:48.560 specific type that you would like us to double production 2298 02:10:48.680 --> 02:10:51.399 of or just like however we feel He's like, okay, 2299 02:10:52.399 --> 02:10:55.840 essentially if it goes zoom, I need you to double 2300 02:10:55.960 --> 02:10:58.920 the amount of those that you are currently producing now. 2301 02:11:00.079 --> 02:11:03.000 And they said, all right, dope, And because of that 2302 02:11:03.239 --> 02:11:06.960 the stocks skyrocketed or on these few and they're only 2303 02:11:07.039 --> 02:11:10.920 going up from here. That being said, A couple days later, 2304 02:11:11.840 --> 02:11:16.279 Pentagon asked to quadruple missile production. Let's talk about this 2305 02:11:16.439 --> 02:11:20.079 is from a politico. The Pentagon has told suppliers of 2306 02:11:20.159 --> 02:11:23.319 missiles to the United States to double or even quadruple 2307 02:11:23.359 --> 02:11:26.239 their production of weapons, according to a Monday report by 2308 02:11:26.439 --> 02:11:29.680 The Wall Street Journal, Why it Matters. More than three 2309 02:11:29.720 --> 02:11:31.640 and a half years of war in Ukraine, the so 2310 02:11:31.840 --> 02:11:34.359 called Twelve Day War between Israel and Iran, and a 2311 02:11:34.479 --> 02:11:37.279 general surgeon demand for long range weapons and air defense 2312 02:11:37.319 --> 02:11:41.079 interceptors have depleted stockpiles of missiles, a cause of growing 2313 02:11:41.119 --> 02:11:44.439 anxiety as the US looks towards a possible future conflict 2314 02:11:44.560 --> 02:11:49.159 with China. Now again, I don't know for a fact 2315 02:11:49.720 --> 02:11:51.800 if China is the one that they are worried about 2316 02:11:51.880 --> 02:11:55.640 as far as the missile production goes here, but a 2317 02:11:55.760 --> 02:11:59.760 war in general, especially when you look at Hegseth calling 2318 02:11:59.840 --> 02:12:01.960 all all of the generals in for this mass assembly 2319 02:12:02.000 --> 02:12:04.239 where he had this conversation with them, and I think 2320 02:12:04.279 --> 02:12:07.720 I understand why. Now I couldn't understand why he wouldn't 2321 02:12:07.720 --> 02:12:11.079 send out a memo, Why he wouldn't do this via 2322 02:12:11.319 --> 02:12:13.640 a video and just kind of release a video to 2323 02:12:13.680 --> 02:12:16.600 all these people of his directives and all this stuff. No, 2324 02:12:17.239 --> 02:12:20.000 because heg Seth was an enlisted man and now he's 2325 02:12:20.039 --> 02:12:23.840 a major, or he was a major anyway, So essentially 2326 02:12:24.560 --> 02:12:27.680 he is gonna say this. I know that you heard 2327 02:12:27.760 --> 02:12:30.680 me say this to your face that day at Quatico, Virginia. 2328 02:12:31.119 --> 02:12:33.319 So if you're not enacting the policies that I am 2329 02:12:33.359 --> 02:12:37.039 now implementing, you are fired. There's no Oh you didn't 2330 02:12:37.079 --> 02:12:39.960 get the memo. Oh you didn't understand the commander's intent. 2331 02:12:40.439 --> 02:12:44.439 Oh you didn't understand the mission. That is not that's negated. 2332 02:12:45.079 --> 02:12:48.199 Everyone that needed to hear that message was in the 2333 02:12:48.359 --> 02:12:51.840 room to hear that message. That's why, and I'm here 2334 02:12:51.920 --> 02:12:54.840 for it. But he's also getting our military back in 2335 02:12:54.960 --> 02:12:58.720 action and ready to see conflict. Couple that with the 2336 02:12:58.800 --> 02:13:01.560 fact that all of our missile pro producers are now 2337 02:13:01.640 --> 02:13:04.319 going to double or quadruple the amount that they're doing 2338 02:13:04.439 --> 02:13:09.399 right now. The writing is on the walls everybody. Something 2339 02:13:09.560 --> 02:13:12.800 is a gonna happen, Something's gonna kick off. I think anyway, 2340 02:13:12.840 --> 02:13:15.359 I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. But also 2341 02:13:16.359 --> 02:13:18.439 America just does better when we're at war. We're a 2342 02:13:18.520 --> 02:13:23.199 warring tribe. Anyway. Missiles are typically very expensive and laborious 2343 02:13:23.279 --> 02:13:27.119 to produce. There are pressing concerns about how often costly 2344 02:13:27.439 --> 02:13:30.399 and increasingly scarce missiles have been used to shoot down 2345 02:13:30.439 --> 02:13:33.800 disposable drones costing just tens of thousands of dollars what 2346 02:13:34.039 --> 02:13:37.319 to know. The Pentagon officials have been meeting with representatives 2347 02:13:37.319 --> 02:13:41.479 from US missile manufacturers. Citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter, 2348 02:13:42.000 --> 02:13:44.439 One of the high level meetings in June was attended 2349 02:13:44.479 --> 02:13:47.439 by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and General Dan Kine, the 2350 02:13:47.520 --> 02:13:50.439 Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, President Trump and Secretary of 2351 02:13:50.439 --> 02:13:54.279 heagseeth are exploring extraordinary avenues to expand our military might 2352 02:13:54.359 --> 02:13:57.760 and accelerate the production of munitions. Sean Parnell, the Pentagon's 2353 02:13:57.800 --> 02:14:01.279 chief spokesperson, told the newspaper this effort has been a 2354 02:14:01.359 --> 02:14:05.640 collaboration between defense industry leaders and senior Pentagon officials. The 2355 02:14:05.720 --> 02:14:09.239 Pentagon reportedly wants to up stocks of twelve weapons in 2356 02:14:09.319 --> 02:14:13.279 particular for a possible military confrontation with China, including the 2357 02:14:13.520 --> 02:14:17.720 vaunted Patriot missiles. The Patriot ground based missile defense system 2358 02:14:17.800 --> 02:14:20.239 is one of the US's most advanced air defense systems. 2359 02:14:20.319 --> 02:14:23.000 It is considered the gold standard, but there are relatively 2360 02:14:23.079 --> 02:14:26.199 few of them. De Pentagon wants to wants industrial players 2361 02:14:26.239 --> 02:14:28.920 to produce nearly four times the current number of Patriots. 2362 02:14:29.279 --> 02:14:32.479 The administration said it intends to swivel away from Europe 2363 02:14:32.560 --> 02:14:36.520 and toward an Indo Pacific into the Indo Pacific as 2364 02:14:36.600 --> 02:14:40.479 Beijing plows ahead with its nuclear and conventional military build up. 2365 02:14:41.000 --> 02:14:43.800 Heg Seth, speaking at a major defense forum earlier this year, 2366 02:14:43.840 --> 02:14:47.199 said Beijing was preparing to potentially use military force to 2367 02:14:47.359 --> 02:14:50.600 alter the balance of power in the Indo Pacific and 2368 02:14:50.880 --> 02:14:53.720 was gearing up for the real deal of an invasion 2369 02:14:53.800 --> 02:14:57.800 push on Taiwan. China's Foreign Ministry denounced the speech as 2370 02:14:58.039 --> 02:15:02.079 filled with provocations and intended to sal or sow division. 2371 02:15:02.800 --> 02:15:06.640 Beijing considered Taiwan a breakaway part of mainland China that 2372 02:15:06.800 --> 02:15:10.479 it intends to one day reunite under central control. But Taipei, 2373 02:15:10.680 --> 02:15:13.720 which has established a democratic government, has long asserted its 2374 02:15:13.760 --> 02:15:16.880 independence from Beijing and aligned itself with Western allies. So 2375 02:15:17.000 --> 02:15:20.640 what people are saying, I'm sure they're gonna say something 2376 02:15:20.720 --> 02:15:23.319 negative here. Defense Secretary of Pete Heggs has said in 2377 02:15:23.399 --> 02:15:26.039 May during a speech in Singapore, we are not going 2378 02:15:26.079 --> 02:15:29.000 to sugarcoat it. The threat China possesses or poses as 2379 02:15:29.039 --> 02:15:32.000 real and it could be imminent, adding that China's army 2380 02:15:32.119 --> 02:15:36.039 is rehearsing for the real deal real. Admiral Hugh Gung Feng, 2381 02:15:36.760 --> 02:15:39.880 vice president of China's National Defense University, set in response 2382 02:15:39.920 --> 02:15:43.399 to hexeth May speech, per the Associated Press quote, some 2383 02:15:43.520 --> 02:15:46.640 of the claims are completely fabricated, some distort facts, and 2384 02:15:46.840 --> 02:15:50.079 some are cases of theft or of a thief crying 2385 02:15:50.159 --> 02:15:54.760 stop thief. Okay. These actions are nothing more than attempts 2386 02:15:54.800 --> 02:15:57.520 to provoke trouble in site division and stir up confrontation 2387 02:15:57.720 --> 02:16:02.359 to destabilize the Asia Pacific region. So of course there 2388 02:16:02.399 --> 02:16:04.640 are some people that are just not really about it 2389 02:16:04.760 --> 02:16:07.399 and they think this is a really bad idea. However, 2390 02:16:08.640 --> 02:16:12.760 like it or not, this is absolutely going down. Missile 2391 02:16:12.800 --> 02:16:15.840 production is about to double and quadruple in some cases. 2392 02:16:16.439 --> 02:16:18.520 And with that being said, I thought it was interesting 2393 02:16:18.600 --> 02:16:23.159 to talk about a new munition that America is developed 2394 02:16:23.239 --> 02:16:26.920 called the Angry Tortoise. It is a liquid fueled hypersonic 2395 02:16:27.000 --> 02:16:30.680 missile in development from the US Air Force. And yes, 2396 02:16:30.760 --> 02:16:34.680 I do mean an actual hypersonic, not the quote unquote 2397 02:16:34.719 --> 02:16:38.799 things that other countries call hypersonics. This is an actual hypersonic. 2398 02:16:39.440 --> 02:16:42.000 So we've had this capability for a while, but usually 2399 02:16:42.040 --> 02:16:45.959 they have used solid fuel. This is a liquid fueled 2400 02:16:46.120 --> 02:16:49.879 hypersonic missile, and not to get to in depth with it, 2401 02:16:50.040 --> 02:16:53.879 but everybody could look this up for yourselves. Liquid fuel 2402 02:16:53.959 --> 02:16:58.200 typically isn't used in cases of munitions like this because 2403 02:16:58.319 --> 02:17:01.200 most liquid fuels are correc jo and they don't have 2404 02:17:01.319 --> 02:17:06.879 a very good shelf life. However, this defense contractor partnered 2405 02:17:06.959 --> 02:17:10.319 with the US Air Force, has developed a very stable 2406 02:17:10.360 --> 02:17:12.799 liquid fuel that is going to be used in the 2407 02:17:13.000 --> 02:17:17.600 Angry Tortoise. Hypersonic missile. I love it. I absolutely love it. 2408 02:17:18.399 --> 02:17:20.760 The US Air Force is working to combine an aerial 2409 02:17:20.840 --> 02:17:24.040 target design to simulate ballistic threats, and a liquid fueled 2410 02:17:24.120 --> 02:17:27.920 rocket motor into a new, low cost hypersonic missile dubbed 2411 02:17:28.239 --> 02:17:31.440 Angry Tortoise. The first test launch of the experimental design 2412 02:17:31.520 --> 02:17:33.159 is expected to come by the end of the year. 2413 02:17:33.559 --> 02:17:36.840 The project reflects growing interests across the US military in 2414 02:17:36.879 --> 02:17:40.399 pursuit of new avenues to field hypersonic weapons and do 2415 02:17:40.559 --> 02:17:44.000 so affordably after years of persistent struggles in this realm. 2416 02:17:45.319 --> 02:17:49.000 The Angry Tortoise broke cover at the US Air and 2417 02:17:49.079 --> 02:17:53.319 Space Forces Association's twenty twenty five Airspace and Cyber Conference 2418 02:17:53.440 --> 02:17:57.680 earlier this year, at which TWZ was in attendance. Tw 2419 02:17:58.200 --> 02:18:02.639 TWZ is the source of this article. Aerospace firms URSA 2420 02:18:02.760 --> 02:18:07.200 Major has confirmed that it has confirmed to US that 2421 02:18:07.319 --> 02:18:10.040 a contract it received from the Air Force Research Laboratory 2422 02:18:10.120 --> 02:18:13.440 in May, valued at close to twenty eight point six 2423 02:18:13.520 --> 02:18:17.799 million dollars, is for this particular effort. Neither the project's 2424 02:18:17.879 --> 02:18:20.840 name nor its explicit focus was disclosed at the time, 2425 02:18:21.319 --> 02:18:26.000 though expected end result was described as tactical flight demonstrator 2426 02:18:26.479 --> 02:18:29.959 The Angry Tortoise Project works by leveraging partnerships with commercial 2427 02:18:30.040 --> 02:18:33.239 companies to integrate their existing technologies into the Department of 2428 02:18:33.360 --> 02:18:37.520 War's weapons systems, enabling rapid delivery of new capabilities. I 2429 02:18:37.600 --> 02:18:39.399 gotta say it makes me smile to call it the 2430 02:18:39.440 --> 02:18:43.440 Department of War not the Department of Defense, because defense, 2431 02:18:44.239 --> 02:18:47.360 I mean, technically speaking, a good wall is a good defense. 2432 02:18:48.479 --> 02:18:50.280 I don't think that that's what our military should be. 2433 02:18:50.360 --> 02:18:52.479 I believe that our military should be a good offense. 2434 02:18:53.920 --> 02:18:56.719 That's just me, so Department of War. It makes me happy. 2435 02:18:57.520 --> 02:19:01.920 According to an information card AFL had available at the 2436 02:19:02.000 --> 02:19:05.319 conference this week, the integrated advancements made through the Angry 2437 02:19:05.399 --> 02:19:08.319 Tortoise Project will provide the warfighter with the ability to 2438 02:19:08.399 --> 02:19:12.040 deliver quick, precise strikes on both stationary and moving targets, 2439 02:19:12.319 --> 02:19:15.840 giving military commanders more options to counter threats. The project's 2440 02:19:15.840 --> 02:19:18.879 focus on public private partnerships is crucial to accelerating the 2441 02:19:19.559 --> 02:19:23.079 delivery of these new capabilities by combining commercial innovations with 2442 02:19:23.280 --> 02:19:27.680 AFRL's technical expertise and resources. The key element of the 2443 02:19:27.760 --> 02:19:30.760 Angry Tortoise design is the four thousand pounds thrust class 2444 02:19:31.000 --> 02:19:35.159 draper rocket motor, a close cycle hydrogen peroxide kerosene design. 2445 02:19:35.520 --> 02:19:38.559 Despite being liquid fueled, draper can be stored for extended 2446 02:19:38.559 --> 02:19:41.639 periods of time at room temperature. Most commonly used liquid 2447 02:19:41.719 --> 02:19:44.719 rocket fuels are volatile and corrosive, which limits how long 2448 02:19:44.840 --> 02:19:48.159 rocket motors that use them can be left ready to fire. 2449 02:19:48.639 --> 02:19:51.680 This also typically makes them more hazardous to handle after 2450 02:19:51.760 --> 02:19:54.920 being fueled. This has long made more stable solid fuel 2451 02:19:55.000 --> 02:19:58.399 rocket motors attractive for military applications, especially when it comes 2452 02:19:58.440 --> 02:20:02.319 to tactical weapons. This by the performance advantages of liquid 2453 02:20:02.360 --> 02:20:05.879 fuel types I have to offer. So anyway, they go 2454 02:20:06.000 --> 02:20:09.600 into more of the details of the propulsion systems of 2455 02:20:09.680 --> 02:20:12.959 this rocket. But long story short, the developers of this 2456 02:20:13.200 --> 02:20:18.479 have developed a safe and stable liquid fuel for missiles, 2457 02:20:19.000 --> 02:20:23.799 and I think that's just neat, honestly, all right, So 2458 02:20:23.959 --> 02:20:25.920 before we head out, let me go ahead and check 2459 02:20:26.000 --> 02:20:28.799 the chat. I am sure that people have commented in 2460 02:20:28.959 --> 02:20:32.600 and saw some things here. Let's see happy spookery season. 2461 02:20:33.040 --> 02:20:37.239 The flotilla is clearly pro Palestine, but not initiative from Palestine. 2462 02:20:37.360 --> 02:20:39.159 Israel will do whatever it thinks it can to get 2463 02:20:39.159 --> 02:20:42.479 away with to stop them, but Israel is rightfully afraid 2464 02:20:42.520 --> 02:20:44.520 to just sync them. Yeah, I agree with that, Tony 2465 02:20:44.600 --> 02:20:48.440 for sure. Yeah, Mike Hunt, thank you for joining us 2466 02:20:48.479 --> 02:20:51.600 this evening, longtime listener, first time zoomer. But Tony doesn't 2467 02:20:51.600 --> 02:20:54.520 look like Tony sounds usually. I'm a headphone type of guy. 2468 02:20:54.920 --> 02:20:57.680 I don't know what that means, all right, personally, don't 2469 02:20:57.719 --> 02:20:59.760 know what that meant. So you mean that Tony looks 2470 02:20:59.760 --> 02:21:02.120 better or worse than what his voice would signify. I 2471 02:21:02.159 --> 02:21:04.000 would like to know, Mike. I hope to see you 2472 02:21:04.079 --> 02:21:05.319 next week on the Cajun Night Live. 2473 02:21:05.360 --> 02:21:05.559 Brother. 2474 02:21:05.600 --> 02:21:08.840 I know you had to head out earlier. Yeah, yeah, 2475 02:21:09.040 --> 02:21:11.120 he headed out actually like nine to forty five. Damn. 2476 02:21:12.120 --> 02:21:14.600 So what does Israel? So why does Israel get a 2477 02:21:14.639 --> 02:21:16.920 pass to do the very things they condemn others for? 2478 02:21:17.799 --> 02:21:20.120 Let's see that. Yeah, I agree with that, Anthony for sure. 2479 02:21:20.680 --> 02:21:23.799 Tony said Victory Day was August tenth or something for 2480 02:21:24.280 --> 02:21:26.600 the nineteen forty five, for the end of World War Two. 2481 02:21:26.840 --> 02:21:29.559 Ah okay, I get it. I get it. His whenever 2482 02:21:29.719 --> 02:21:34.520 China got their statehood back from Imperial Japan, I guess, 2483 02:21:34.639 --> 02:21:38.840 or when Imperial Japan basically surrendered. So fair enough, Anthony 2484 02:21:38.920 --> 02:21:43.840 had to bounce out. Appreciate you, brother, bay roktar drone 2485 02:21:44.000 --> 02:21:48.520 is a Turkish company bee raktar okay, and I might 2486 02:21:48.600 --> 02:21:52.799 be mispronouncing that. Honestly, I don't know what would happen 2487 02:21:52.840 --> 02:21:56.280 if Putin was to be taken out by another Russian. Well, 2488 02:21:56.319 --> 02:22:01.239 they tried that, right, the leader of the Oh shit, 2489 02:22:01.520 --> 02:22:02.639 what's their mercenary group? 2490 02:22:02.920 --> 02:22:06.959 Yeah, any pregosion the leader of h Now I'm blanking 2491 02:22:07.040 --> 02:22:07.440 on it too. 2492 02:22:07.639 --> 02:22:09.280 It starts with a W, but they pronounce it with 2493 02:22:09.319 --> 02:22:12.280 a V. Wagner. It's a Wagner, but it's Wagner for them. 2494 02:22:12.360 --> 02:22:12.520 Yeah. 2495 02:22:12.600 --> 02:22:15.120 Yeah, they tried to take Putin out and it did 2496 02:22:15.159 --> 02:22:16.280 not go well, but they tried. 2497 02:22:17.360 --> 02:22:23.920 Yeah, he looked up succession, segan, Oh, I looked up succession. 2498 02:22:23.959 --> 02:22:25.719 In the next comment, I had to look this up. 2499 02:22:25.760 --> 02:22:28.760 But the vice president in Russia only existed in nineteen 2500 02:22:28.840 --> 02:22:31.120 ninety one to nineteen ninety three. The Prime Minister is 2501 02:22:31.159 --> 02:22:35.200 the next in line. His name is Mikhail mit Schustein. Politically, 2502 02:22:35.319 --> 02:22:37.600 not much would change in Russia if Putin were to 2503 02:22:37.680 --> 02:22:38.079 die and be. 2504 02:22:38.200 --> 02:22:41.360 Replaced, which would make sense, correct me if I'm wrong, 2505 02:22:41.399 --> 02:22:44.239 But Putin has surrounded himself with very, very very like 2506 02:22:44.360 --> 02:22:47.719 minded individuals. So if let's say, for whatever reason, Putin 2507 02:22:47.760 --> 02:22:50.680 suffered a heart attack tonight and not was taken out, 2508 02:22:50.719 --> 02:22:54.399 but like legitimately from stress or something suffered from a 2509 02:22:54.440 --> 02:22:57.120 heart attack. Russia wuld pretty much continue on the way 2510 02:22:57.159 --> 02:22:58.840 it has been. It wouldn't like it's not like the 2511 02:22:58.879 --> 02:23:00.520 war in Ukraine would stopper anything like that. 2512 02:23:02.360 --> 02:23:02.719 Correct. 2513 02:23:02.840 --> 02:23:06.479 Yeah, And the party of Putina is called Yadina Yarosiya 2514 02:23:06.680 --> 02:23:09.879 or Russian Unity. The second place party is a distant 2515 02:23:09.959 --> 02:23:13.959 second place. It's the Communist Party Russian second place. 2516 02:23:14.319 --> 02:23:16.440 I feel like that's like the vast minority, isn't it. 2517 02:23:18.360 --> 02:23:21.959 Yeah, the Communist Well, what I read is Russian Unity's 2518 02:23:22.000 --> 02:23:25.879 forty six percent and Communist is thirteen percent. I don't 2519 02:23:25.959 --> 02:23:28.079 know what the rest would be. I don't think they're 2520 02:23:28.120 --> 02:23:31.200 third parties. They may be just nonpartisan. North Korea has 2521 02:23:31.280 --> 02:23:33.280 the same thing where there's only one party, but you 2522 02:23:33.360 --> 02:23:36.520 can run as a non party candidate for school board 2523 02:23:36.600 --> 02:23:40.719 or something. And in Russia, yeah, I don't know what 2524 02:23:40.799 --> 02:23:44.760 it's like, but Russian Unity is by far the biggest party. 2525 02:23:45.280 --> 02:23:47.040 I could see, like a third of the nation just 2526 02:23:47.120 --> 02:23:51.479 kind of for lack of better words, if we are 2527 02:23:51.559 --> 02:23:54.120 to try to compare apples to apples here in America, 2528 02:23:54.239 --> 02:23:57.399 with the Republican Democrat and Independent party. I could see 2529 02:23:57.920 --> 02:23:59.719 that kind of being the third option that a lot 2530 02:23:59.719 --> 02:24:01.399 of people people would do in Russia, a third of 2531 02:24:01.440 --> 02:24:03.319 the nation kind of going like you said, no party 2532 02:24:03.520 --> 02:24:06.319 or something along those lines. That that makes sense to 2533 02:24:06.399 --> 02:24:08.959 me for sure. And even if they don't vote, if 2534 02:24:09.399 --> 02:24:12.600 of the voting people seventeen percent of one party and 2535 02:24:12.760 --> 02:24:15.200 forty eight percent of the other or forty three percent, 2536 02:24:15.280 --> 02:24:18.200 I think you said, yeah, it's a yeah, that makes 2537 02:24:18.239 --> 02:24:23.440 sense to me. Let's see. Yes, yes, yes, just saw 2538 02:24:23.920 --> 02:24:25.399 SDI dog the hell out of the DA. 2539 02:24:25.520 --> 02:24:25.719 Yeah. 2540 02:24:25.799 --> 02:24:25.959 Yeah. 2541 02:24:26.920 --> 02:24:30.079 So the sun is rising on the flotilla. Fourteen boats 2542 02:24:30.120 --> 02:24:33.040 have been intercepted. Thirty left just about forty miles away. 2543 02:24:33.360 --> 02:24:36.559 It is go time. We will keep our finger on 2544 02:24:36.680 --> 02:24:39.479 the pulse of this one. I don't know what to expect, 2545 02:24:39.559 --> 02:24:42.399 but I don't I don't know, I don't know. 2546 02:24:43.399 --> 02:24:46.479 Oh yeah, just to update, it's now seventeen. 2547 02:24:46.840 --> 02:24:51.680 Seventeen boats have been intercepted intercepted. Wow, so you you 2548 02:24:51.840 --> 02:24:54.799 posted this. It was fourteen boats at ten forty eight. 2549 02:24:55.280 --> 02:24:58.879 It is now eleven twenty nine, not even an entire hour, 2550 02:24:58.959 --> 02:25:01.239 and three more of them have been intercepted. I have 2551 02:25:01.319 --> 02:25:04.639 a feeling I have a feeling that none of them 2552 02:25:04.680 --> 02:25:06.639 are gonna make it to Shore. I could be wrong, 2553 02:25:07.239 --> 02:25:08.959 but I just have a hard. 2554 02:25:08.799 --> 02:25:09.799 Time believed possible. 2555 02:25:10.360 --> 02:25:14.399 I don't know. We'll see, we shall see. Continuing, Tony said, 2556 02:25:14.399 --> 02:25:17.920 for something completely different, Chinese car speed record three hundred 2557 02:25:17.920 --> 02:25:19.040 and eight miles per hour. 2558 02:25:19.600 --> 02:25:19.879 Wow. 2559 02:25:20.000 --> 02:25:23.879 So China's BYD shatters world record for fastest production car 2560 02:25:24.040 --> 02:25:26.959 and it's fully electric. Yo. I will say that I 2561 02:25:27.040 --> 02:25:30.239 am not a fan of the production methods for creating 2562 02:25:30.319 --> 02:25:35.000 electric vehicles, but they are fast. I mean, it's just 2563 02:25:35.200 --> 02:25:37.159 I mean, when you look at what makes an electric 2564 02:25:37.239 --> 02:25:40.920 motor spin, it's pretty much all torque like that's all 2565 02:25:41.000 --> 02:25:43.440 it is, and it's it's pretty insane to watch. So 2566 02:25:44.159 --> 02:25:46.360 three hundred and eight miles per hour is the new 2567 02:25:46.520 --> 02:25:51.079 land speed record. That is impressive. The U nine Extreme 2568 02:25:51.200 --> 02:25:54.319 ev hit a verified top speed of four hundred and 2569 02:25:54.399 --> 02:25:57.479 ninety six kilometers per hour, which is three hundred and 2570 02:25:57.600 --> 02:26:03.879 eight freedom units per hour, actually dethroning the Bugatti Chiron Cheiran. 2571 02:26:04.000 --> 02:26:05.200 I don't know, I don't speak Italian. 2572 02:26:05.360 --> 02:26:06.319 Yeah, something like that. 2573 02:26:06.760 --> 02:26:10.079 Yeah. They also have a train that hit three hundred 2574 02:26:10.120 --> 02:26:12.639 or six hundred and thirty two kilometers per hour. A 2575 02:26:12.760 --> 02:26:15.760 train routinely travels at about four hundred kilometers per hour. 2576 02:26:15.920 --> 02:26:18.559 Somehow we cannot have these things. We could, but we 2577 02:26:18.680 --> 02:26:23.040 can't because reasons. Yeah, it's it's lobbyists. Let's be very 2578 02:26:23.079 --> 02:26:25.879 clear about that. And yeah, you just put that. Now 2579 02:26:25.959 --> 02:26:30.799 there's seventeen intercepted votes, so uh yeah, wild things are 2580 02:26:30.840 --> 02:26:33.879 going on. I think we covered a very wide berth 2581 02:26:34.000 --> 02:26:37.479 of information on this episode, everything from things going on 2582 02:26:37.920 --> 02:26:41.239 with foreign nations, things going on in the American nation, 2583 02:26:41.360 --> 02:26:44.319 we got incest, things going on in Europe or in Britain. 2584 02:26:44.360 --> 02:26:50.159 I should say, it's just yeah, I gotta say, having 2585 02:26:51.840 --> 02:26:58.399 legal having MP's vote and have their name associated with 2586 02:26:58.520 --> 02:27:02.239 defending incest I did not have on my Bengo card 2587 02:27:02.280 --> 02:27:05.719 for this year, especially in Britain. It's not like this 2588 02:27:05.920 --> 02:27:09.360 is in Sub Saharan Africa, or in Middle Eastern countries 2589 02:27:09.520 --> 02:27:15.040 or in Southeast Asia. Having a Muslim MP defend incest 2590 02:27:15.360 --> 02:27:19.719 in Britain. I gotta say that one threw me for 2591 02:27:19.799 --> 02:27:21.799 a loop when I heard about that one today. It's 2592 02:27:22.799 --> 02:27:25.920 it is, it's very Yeah, it's wild times to be alive. 2593 02:27:26.399 --> 02:27:29.319 And the jokes right themselves, I know they do, they 2594 02:27:29.399 --> 02:27:33.600 absolutely do. But anyway, anyway, With all this being said, 2595 02:27:33.719 --> 02:27:35.719 we are going to wrap up this episode of The 2596 02:27:35.799 --> 02:27:38.000 Cajun Knight Live.
