Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hell everyone. My name is Specier Walsh. Welcome to today's show.
We have gooding for you. As always, today we are
taking a look at Donald Trump launching an assault on
the independence of DC, taking over the entire local law
enforcement structure in the city. We'll take a look at

(00:31):
what's behind the move in light of the real much
more positive picture on DC crime than the administration, it
would like you to know, and why it could be
expanded to other cities. Also, the Trump economy is under
threat new predictions from Goldman show big hits coming for

(00:52):
consumers in the wake of the Trump tariffs. To take
look at how Trump is reacting to that and taking
steps to make sure the side lines of a developing
bad economy, namely unemployment numbers, can be hidden from the public. Also,
Israel is planning to send Palestinians that it has ethnically

(01:14):
clans from the Gaza Strip to a new country. They're
purportedly in talks with Stay tuned to find out which
one and with the plans are there exactly. Will also
be taking a look at the tragic, really heartbreaking murder
of Annas al Sharif. The incredible Alderzeerra correspondent from the
north of Gaza by the IDF over the weekend and

(01:37):
what that says about the focus of the Israeli army.
And also take a look at a Diony warning from
an expert about the potential for a restarting Israeli burd war.
Once again. All clips will be on the Spencer Walsh
YouTube channel, so go check them out now, go look

(02:01):
him out. In a truly unpreced and moved designed to
expand his personal power to the highest degree possible, Donald
Trump has just completed a takeover of Washington, DC's law
enforcement structure. Let's take a look at this headline here
in the Guardian. The White House says twenty three are
arrested after hundreds of federal officers deploy to DC. Eight

(02:24):
hundred and fifty is the number of officers and agents
that took part in a massive law enforcement serge across
Washington Deca on Monday night and made nearly two dozen arrests.
The White House has said the show enforce came after
President Trump announced he was sending the National Guard into
the Capitol and putting the city police under federal control.
That is, even though as violent crime is at a
thirty year low, thirty year low. So I think that's

(02:48):
pretty good. And it seems like things are things are
making progress. So you may be wondering, why in the
world is Trump doing this? Why is he pushing the
envelope even here He's going like a city, this city
is making progress on crime is undeniable, and we'll go
through it in the details in a moment, but you know,
you may be wondering, what the hell is he doing?

(03:09):
This is about control. This is about control through and
through it. And this is also about showing the base
that he can and that he can exercise that control,
because that is what they like to see from him,
first and foremost. It's also it's a great distraction from
a lot of the other, you know, scandals. It's a
great way for Trump to kind of change the conversation,
drive the news with a new sort of uh juicy

(03:30):
story for his base. And the thing the really, the
reason though, why this is happening is for two things.
Is because Donald Trump at heart, and I think the
facts are are just making this undeniable at this point,
is somebody who loves authoritarianism and wants to be as
much as an authoritarian as he possibly can within the

(03:50):
American system, and if he is able to just seize
control of a capital, the capital city of the country,
take away the rights of all the people that put
elected leaders in place to control the crime, and appoint
police officers to control the crime, police chiefs, things like that.
If he's able to take away their power, it makes
him feel good. It makes him feel like he is

(04:12):
exercise to control and he is fulfilling his vision for
himself as the father of America, the single strongman hero
of America, and that makes him feel good. But on
the same turn, his base appreciates when that happens. They
think that's something that he does and he should be
able to continue to do. But what they also like

(04:34):
is him beating up on people that Trump and his
base both mutually think are heathens, are vermin, are people
that don't deserve to be seen as equal level Americans
the same as everyone else. And that is a big
part of the appeal, as we'll show later on in

(04:54):
this segment. But first let's take a look at this.
This is a twenty year homicide trend in Washington, d
This is the official Metropolitan Police Department of DC. So
they say one hundred and eighty seven murders in twenty
twenty four. You see a huge spike in two seventy four,
two oh three, two to six in the years after

(05:16):
COVID in terms of murders through twenty three through twenty
twenty one. But you had a pretty consistently, you know,
low murders going on throughout that or declining or rising
murders going on throughout that. But last or two years ago,
they reached a peak in twenty twenty three. Of the
build been building really from about twenty seventeen and now
they are declining. To twenty twenty three was a huge peak.

(05:40):
And two hundred seventy four one hundred and eighty seven
was the number of homicides in DC in twenty twenty four.
And if you look at the comparisons in twenty twenty five,
this is the year to date information, uh, you know,
so comparing August twenty twenty five to August of twenty
twenty four, homicides are eleven percent. Sex abuse down fifty percent,

(06:03):
assault with the dangerous weapon down twenty percent, robbery down
twenty eight percent, violent crime in total down twenty six percent.
At this point this year, you know, we're on pace
for a twenty six percent drop in violent crime overall
in DC. Infra rates of crime hold from now towards
the end of the year. Of course, in comparison with
last year and then even the year before that, you

(06:23):
saw even bigger drops in crime thirty two percent, homicide,
homicide drop, sex abuse down twenty five percent, saw with
the dangerous weapon down twenty seven percent, robbery down thirty
nine percent, vilcrime as a whole down thirty five percent.
So that is a sign that what the people in
DC are doing is working and that you don't need
you know, it's not out of control, and you don't
need some federal intervention because the law says you're supposed

(06:47):
to do it in a national emergency type situation. You're
supposed to come in over the top when things are
really going out of control. And you know clearly here
things are not going out of control. And we even
know things are not going out of control because look
at this, Yes, this is Donald Trump talking first today
and then on May seventh, a few months back, about

(07:07):
crime in DC.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and
bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs,
and homeless people.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
And we're not going to let it happen anymore. We're
not going to take it. No, Eddie's very talented. Crime
is down in Washington, d C. Street crime, violent crime
by twenty five percent, and its people have seen, they've
noticed a big difference, and.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
The murder rates are plummeting.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
We are now able to report that the murder rate,
it's on track to be the lowest in US history,
in modern recorded US history, thanks to this team behind
me in President Trump's priorities.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
And that now Oscar was cash Hotel talking about today,
It's like you haven't even done anything yet, and the
murder rate is already down. And we know that because
a the statistics, but also b Trump just said it himself,
down see by twenty five percent, So like that is
that is a really kind of a testament to what
Trump is actually trying to do here. And you could
see in his rhetoric he kind of rambles on for

(08:09):
a little bit during this clip. It's just you know,
he is doing this for control, and he's doing it
because he can. It's take a look. And he also,
by the way, wants to do it to other major cities.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
And we're gonna have the same thing here. But then
I'm gonna look at New York in a little while.
Let's do this, let's do this together. Let's see. It's
gonna go pretty quickly, and if we need to, we're
gonna do the same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
We have a mayor there who's totally incompetent.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
He's an incompetent man, and we have an incompetent governor there.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Pritzker's an incompetent.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
His family threw him out of the business and he
ran for governor. And now I understand he wants to
be president, but I noticed he lost a little Wait,
so maybe he has a chance.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
You know, you never know what happens.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
But Pritsker is a gross incompetent guy, thrown out of
the family business. But when I look at Chicago and
I look at La, if we didn't go to La
three months ago, La would be burning like the part
that didn't burn. If he would have allowed the water
to come down, which I told him about in my

(09:17):
first term. I said, you're gonna have problems, let it
come down. We actually sent in our military to have
the water come down in.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, so you're just babbling about I think California and
that it's just really just losing a lot of coherence,
I think pretty fast. It's an underrated part of the
second Trump administration in terms of his just ability to
speak normally. But you do see there even in that,
just like they're all in competence. You know, the people
of American cities are not the same as because they're

(09:44):
perceived to be liberal, even though we saw, by the way,
a huge swing in the cities towards Trump the twenty
twenty four election. They're perceived to be liberal, they're perceived
to be heathens. So they're perceived to be, you know,
just leading immoral wrong lives that are not worthy of
as much respect as you know, some conservative driving a
massive pickup truck in the suburbs. Just it is pure hate,
and it's also a pure disrespect for any sort of

(10:07):
kind of democratically elected force or democratic elective body that
is not completely subservient to him. And if he's not,
you know, if you don't get that subservience, you know
he is going to come for you.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
You know.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
It's it is a completely obvious situation. It is a total, uh,
just appeal to control and as I said before, an
appeal to his vision of himself and also supporters vision
of him as the one true savior of the nation
who needs to be, you know, kind of unquestioningly obeyed.
And now that he has this power, it could really

(10:41):
look quite scary for a lot of citizens and non
citizens alike who are trying to do their best to
be positive members of society in America. And you know,
now he's going to be going around to I'm sure
extending this to any city whose mayor he gets in
the spat with. He's gonna roll in. He's gonna bring
Pam Bonnie, and he's gonna bring you know, that alcoholic pete.

(11:03):
Hegsa's Secretary of Defense to say, we're here, we're the
federal government. You know, you may hate us, but we're
taking control because we can and because you're bad. That
is essentially what he's trying to do. The I mean,
they admit, they admit that violent crime is not a
problem here is because they think that these cities aren't
infected by the current population. And nowhere is a better

(11:27):
example of this than the conservative pundit Benny Johnson. Let's
take a look.

Speaker 7 (11:33):
And so what President Trump is doing is reasserting control
of not only our nation's capital, but truly the seat
of Western civilization. It's one final little note here that
kind of blends outside of the personal, which is that Washington,
d C. Is a representation of the work of your
forefathers and mine. It is by every measure a very

(11:56):
beautiful city. Architecturally, it is a safe and.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Of course you have to get this kind of blooded
soil Christian nationalism in here, which is just cringe worthy, far.

Speaker 7 (12:05):
More than you or I could ever dream for this country.
It must be preserved because the peoples of Earth come
here by the millions per year in order to witness
the success or failures of our systems. And if you
are a proud patriot and you love this country and
you wish for it to be reflected honorably to the

(12:29):
peoples of earth, then.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Washington, d C.

Speaker 7 (12:32):
Must be swept clean. I believe entire neighborhoods probably need
to be emptied, need.

Speaker 8 (12:40):
To be bulldozed.

Speaker 7 (12:41):
I believe that there are places that are so crime
written and so infested that you just needed, like you just.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Want your neighborhoods here.

Speaker 7 (12:48):
You're going to have to do the job, and you're
going to have to get the crime out of Washington.
That's my personal experience. Don't believe the bullshit that you
hear online from some reporters. All crimes down in DC. Well,
my infant nearly died.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, he's telling you some story about his infant that
may or may not have happened. And of course, you know,
every city is dangerous. Every place could be dangerous. You
could be a victim of crime anywhere, So you know
it certainly could have happened. And crime does happen, I'm
sure every day in DC. But the fact that also
doesn't change the fact that crime is down for the
that's how statistics work. You know. That does not change

(13:27):
the fact that crime is plummeting in pretty much all areas,
and it's even continued to plummet within the years. It's
not trending in any way, but down and down quite
significantly at a quite increased clip. But what is Benny
Donton really after you heard him say it right there,
These neighborhoods need to be wiped clean, they need to

(13:49):
be bulldozed, and the people you know, he sounded like
a member of the Israeli government. Here. It's like you're
trying to ethnically cleanse the population of DC from its
current residence. Who can reflect it honorably as some sort
of you know, freakish capital with a bunch of you know,
Christian monuments all over the place, so that you can
be honorably represented to the you know, the people of earth.

(14:09):
And it's it's absolutely insane, and it shows you. This
is the contempt. This these are the feelings that the
conservative elite have for people in the cities. And it's
very very racially coded, there is no doubt about that.
But it is true hate on a bone deep level.
There's dehumanization there, there is complete lying. There is a

(14:33):
kind of multiple kind of prevailing, hyper hysterical narratives based
in violence that are developing at once.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Now.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
It cannot be more insane the rhetoric that has come
out against these people. It is true hate that is
behind Trump's takeover of federal law enforcement or federal takeover
of local law enforcement. I should say in Washington, DC,
economic numbers of all types are really not looking good

(15:03):
for Donald Trump and his administration. And you can see
he is starting to freak out about it. The first
big report we had today was from Goldman Sachs. And
you may be wondering, Oh, Goldman Sachs is just a
private bank. You know, they may be very powerful, but
what do we really care about it? Well, the thing
is a lot of people out of market watchers, a
lot of financial decision makers, a lot of political decision

(15:26):
makers in the financial world really do look at people
like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and their predictions on the
economy to make these decisions. They carry a lot of
weight among you know, the money movers, the movers and shakers,
the power brokers in the political and economic worlds. So
when they do report on something, it does tend to
make headlines and grab some attention. So here is what

(15:50):
they had to say about the tariffs as they were unfolding.
This is from Chris Rugabert, who covers the Federal serve
for the AP, reporting on it. He said, the first
chart is Goldman Sachs's estimate of the breakdown of tariffs.
Let's take a look at this. Our preliminary estimate. They say,
estimates that more than half of tariff costs have already

(16:11):
been absorbed by US businesses so far, but this share
may decline to eight percent over the next several months
as consumers important exporters gradually observe more of the cost.
So this is the division of the tariff costs as
of June, with a kind of unclear picture going back
and forth, not really the early days of Donald Trump's
tariff implementation. That chart is on the left, so it

(16:33):
says sixty four percent US businesses absorbing the costs. So
right now, you know that's limiting their ability to grow
as businesses, to expand, to be secure in their decisions
to pay their work as well, and things like that,
all their kind of economic security. It's just one extra
strain on their bottom line which influences their decisions, which

(16:53):
influences decisions of their workers in the economy, so that
already is not good. The smallest share is fourteen percent
foreign exporters, which is of course the Trump said would
be the highest share of people paying the tariffs. And
then you have twenty two percent of the prices falling
on to US consumers. That's as of June, but then
the eventual division of tariff costs by October, after all

(17:14):
announced tariffs through June are in place for more than
four months, so and even through June, there's been even
more tariffs announced as we know, as we covered in August,
so this doesn't even take those into effect. And if
we're just going at the pace we are with the
relatively liminitated terriffs that we had through June on top,
and this is again not factoring the more impactful tariffs

(17:37):
that have been put in place since August, then sixty
seven percent of the cost will be borne by US
consumers as the US businesses pass on the costs to
the consumers over time, and twenty five percent will be
taken by foreign exporters, which is more of what you
know Trump wanted to happen in the first place. But

(17:58):
as you can see here, consumers are going to be
really bearing the brunt of it, which you know, under
a sensible terrorf policy would have made more sense if
you were actually doing something to strengthen US industry on
the domestic side, which is something that Donald Trump is
not doing at all. So he's just throwing spats the
well seeing what sticks. And by the way, it's more

(18:19):
to say he's making a lot of money on it.
In the process, and also, by the way, with a
lot of his friends in terms of betting on the
SOPHO market and its early information that has been passed around.
And then this is capital economics showing little decline in
pre tariff import prices, assign that exporters aren't cutting costs
to off set duties. So there you have that chart.

(18:45):
But this is a further breakdown here in courts talking
about Goldman's reporting here again sixty percent of teriff related costs.
Companies like Apple reported an eight hundred million dollars hit
from the teriffs, and automaker GM reported tariff costs of
over one billion dollars in their respective earnings last quarters.
And then this is what we saw in the last
chart that we just broke down. They're bearing those costs

(19:06):
for the moment, but if they'll continue, and they will
continue into the fall, you're going to start to see
some huge price increases on the on the line here
of Goldman Sachs saying seventy percent increased in terror prices
or in prices for consumers because of these tariffs as
they continue, as they start to set in for the

(19:28):
consumer as the summer turns to the fall, they analysts
expect that moving forward, companies will pay less than ten
percent of tariff costs. But blah blah bah bah. They added,
international exporters have taken about fourteen percent of TERRA calls
through June, but that will rise to twenty five especially
what that chart showed there. But here we see how

(19:49):
Trump is reacting to it. Trillions of dollars are being
taken in on teriffs, which has been incredible for our country.
It's stock market, it's general wealth, and just about everything else.
It has been proven that even at this late stage,
tariffs have not caused inflation. By the way, it's not
a late stage yet. The tariffs have literally just got
into place as recently as August in some cases, so
we really have not seen how they have been going

(20:11):
into effects. Also, it's been shown that for the most part,
consumers aren't even paying these tariffs. It's mostly companies and governments,
many of them for in picking up the tabs. But
David salom in goldin Sacks, if you see if credit
where credits do, they made a bad prediction a long
time ago on both market repercussions and the tariffs themselves,
and they were wrong. Just like they're wrong about so
much else. I think David should go out and get

(20:32):
himself a new economist, or maybe he ought to focus
on being a DJ and not bother running a major
financial financial institution. That's a reference to the fact that
he likes to DJ on the side the head of
Goldman Sachs, which is you know, it is obviously incredibly
cringey there to say the least, but you know, these
tariffs are really having a pretty significant impact on this

(20:58):
this economy here, and we are a strong to see
it take take shape more and more, more and more
definitively here. This is This is more from the New
York Times, right up of the gold min SAX report.
They say on Sunday, gold economists predicted are a published
note that said US consumers that absorb twenty two percent
of the tariffs through June and will continue to see

(21:18):
prices increase through the fall. Last month, economists of the
bank predict that companies will pass on seventy percent of
the costs of tariffs to consumers through higher prices. So
there you get that. That's why you get that seventy
percent number I was talking about earlier, not seventy percent
specific price increases for consumers, but you know, because that
would be pretty insane. But I'm sure we'll see some

(21:39):
massive spikes on a lot of stuff. But the main
point being is that seventy percent of the costs that
are currently being absorbed by the companies of these tariffs
will be passed off to the consumers by the time
we get to the end of the year. And this
really just continues the theme of Trump just freaking out over
bad economic numbers that he does not like with a

(21:59):
lot of consequences. The world is not going to trust
our data. That's the headline in the Financial Times. As
the new head for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as
you remember, Trump fired the old one after he got
bad jobs report numbers, and he has now put in
place this guy named ej Antoni, a fierce loyalist and
cheerleader for the president's tariffs and economic strategy, which has

(22:22):
only deepened some anxiety. And this is from a right
wing fellow at the right leaning American Enterprise Institute think tank.
He says the hope was that he would pick someone
who people would have trust in and could lead the
BLS in an appropriate way with the relevant experience and
ideally not hyperpartisan. Ej Antoni is really the opposite of that.

(22:43):
So are you're heading for a world we are seeing massive,
massive price creases because of the craziness and the idiotic
nature of Donald Trump's terrort policies, which will lead to
crunches for US businesses, which will lead to more on deployment,
which will lead to more economic pain and suffering. And
Donald Trump is so insecure about any sort of criticism

(23:06):
and so in denial about the world that he is
currently building for America that he has taken out the
person in charge of reporting the true picture of the
economy and put in place somebody who is even being
described by right wing think tanks as completely hyperpartisan and
completely untrustworthy when it comes to all things related to

(23:29):
the economy. So it really is kind of an incredible
situation where we're headed for, where we are seem to
be headed off at economic cliff, with massive price increases
coming for consumers as we get into the fall, we
get towards the end of the year, and we won't
even have the numbers or the economic knowledge to talk
about what we are going through and understand the situation.

(23:52):
So really really scary stuff when it comes to our
economic picture, driven entirely by the insanity and the chaos
and the just pure cruelty really of the Donald Trump administration,
and particularly the just insecurity and venal nature of the
man leading it. So that's where we are on Donald
Trump's economy. Really important new report from the AP today,

(24:16):
let's take a look at it. Summed up today by
drop site News. Israel is apparently in talks to resettle
Palestinians in South Sudan. The Associated Press reports that Israel
officials have held talks with Sau Sudan about moving Palestinians
from Gaza to the East African state. The country is
still recovering from civil war and facing acute food shortages.
There's also a place that's been you know, subjects to

(24:38):
heavy bombing and it's been supported by some of the
same people that are supporting the current Israeli down side
in Gaza. And you know, this is what we are
seeing here is the final step, the kind of you know,
nailing the coffin, the coupdi gras, whatever you know, dark
term that you want to use about it when it
comes to the really the completion of this GM side
of the Palestinian people, because you know, what do we

(25:01):
see in we saw first it was just all about
getting to Hamas. It was we need to get the
hostages back, we need to see some possessions from Hamas.
And you know, they clearly were never going after Hamas.
They were proudly dismantlink in control demolitions. You know, entire
blocks of countless apartment buildings, you know, un schools, universities,

(25:22):
and you know, just every sort of civilian possible object.
They were destroying all means of normal life in Gaza.
And then what do they do. They when they fully
push people into a certain corner of the Gods Strip
that just so happens to be closest to Egypt and
the Mediterranean Sea, and then they they say, oh, we're

(25:45):
gonna take We're gonna get rid of the professionals, because
the professionals have been what is it, of course, corrupted
by Hamas, and the professionals who were keeping the people
of Gaza alive through the delivery of life saving aid,
they systematically, through a smear campaign, with the complete help
of the Western media, have drumn un out of any

(26:06):
sort of aid giving role. And now what do we
see we see the final step of that. Do you
see massacres at these aid sites that are set up
by the Israelian American governments. We see increasing genocidal rhetoric
from net Yahoo and is announcing his plan to completely
occupy all of Gaza and essentially expel the people there.

(26:29):
And now we have seen the place that they want
to expel these people too. And so if you if
you can't call this a genocide at this point, nothing
you should say on any sort of issue of morality
or really any sort of thing about anything, should ever
be taken seriously again, because I just don't see how
you look at the coorse like this, where they're literally

(26:51):
pushing for a Madagascar Plans type solution for the people
that they don't kill at these AID site massacre sites
really is what they are, their massacre sites. They're killing
fields that they have set up throughout the Gaza strip.
If the people somehow managed to survive all that, then
they'll just get shipped off to South Sudan in the
exact same way that Hitler at one point wanted to

(27:13):
ship the Jews off to Madagascar. Are what was there
some other plan with some other Uganda wherever. Just they're
far away. They're in Africa, which is the land where
you know the savages are anyway, so it's perfect for them,
and we don't have to think about it. And then
we can, you know, as as prominent Minister of Master
Security and Amar BEng Gavir said, we can, we can

(27:34):
rebuild gush katif we can rebuild the settlements in Gaza,
which is what we always wanted to do anyway. So
this is this is the plan, really reaching fruition. This
is the you know and I this is the final plan.
This is the final strategy for the people of Gaza
here and they're being very open about it. They're very
it's not getting any sort of conference, of course on

(27:56):
Western media. It's not being talked about with the alarm
it would be talked about if any other leader, we're
talking about any other group of people this way. But nevertheless,
it is happening. Is happening with our full complete daily support.
Sources familiar with discussions say Israel has approached other nations
with similar proposals as part of Primeister and nt Yaho's

(28:18):
push for what he calls a voluntary migration. Palestinian and
rights groups have condemned the idea as a form of
forced explosion, banned under international law. Obviously, it is completely
illegal under international law. For South Dudan, cooperation could bring
diplomatic leverage, closer ties with Israel, and potential opening to
the drug administration, including relief from US sanctions and financial
support for its struggling economy, but displaced but critics saying

(28:41):
in the region it risks becoming a jumping ground for
displaced people. Egypt has reportedly been pressing Juba, which is
the capital of Sathdudan, to reject the plan. Sauth Student
has a history of quiet security ties with Israel, as
SOSAID reportedly helps the Southern rebels during their fight for
independence in two thousand and eleven. So that was, you know,
kind of a priority of the United States and the

(29:03):
West was to help South Sudan break free from Sudan.
It's a very kind of complicated situation with a bunch
of military leaders, general's leading cups and all that stuff.
But essentially they have been really really fierce fighting the
rapid support forces kind of this breakaway group that has
been pushing, pushing, pushing hard in Sudan. Ap added that
Israel's Foreign Minister, Ministry, South Sudan's Foreign minister, and the

(29:25):
US State Department did not comment on the talks. So
let's take a look at this here. This is from
Eric Hovigem, who is a YouTuber, kind of political YouTuber,
talking about a very essentially explaining more about the South
Sudan Israel connection, which is very interesting. But he does
it through an interesting geo guesser based guests are based.

(29:49):
Lead in here to check this out.

Speaker 6 (29:52):
Oh, we're on a military base or something. Okay, that's
an Israeli rifle, so we have to be here in Israel.
What why are there Israeli weapons in the middle of
South Sudan. Despite UN sanctions on arm sales, Israel continuously
sold advanced weapons to South Sudan during its brutal civil
war that claimed over four hundred thousand lives, ten percent

(30:14):
of whom were children. Israeli arms like the Ace assault
rifle have been documented in the hands of various factions
throughout the country. These weapons have been linked to serious
human rights violations, including attacks on civilians and ethnic massacres.
After South Sudan gained independence in twenty eleven, Israel quickly
established diplomatic relations by recognizing it as an independent state.

(30:36):
According to Masad, chiefs of Vizimir, Israel wanted to prevent
Sudanese military units from integrating with Egyptian forces on the
border of Israel by keeping Saddan's army occupied.

Speaker 9 (30:46):
Additionally, they wanted to strengthen operative ties with Kenya and
Ethiopia and extend aid to a nation fighting for its
independence and liberation from Islamic tyranny. However, the continued supply
of arms during an active has only accelerated the devastation
experience by millions of families, leading to countless condemnations by

(31:06):
local and international humanitarian organizations.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
So there you have it, and it shows really how
much the South Sudonese leaders owe their success. And it
really was a brutal, brutal war with a bunch of
crimes obviously you can imagine going on post sides, but
particularly on the South Sudonese side that was of course
heavily supported by the West, which concludes to Israel. You
can see how how much Israel or South Sudan has

(31:33):
Israel to think for the position that they're in today.
There's also been talks with Libya and they're crazy Worldlord.
That also was put in place by the US after
they overthrew Walmark and Offie. But the bottom line is
here there are some serious and incredibly incredibly disturbing talks
in place and underway to really finish off the genocide

(31:54):
of the Palestinians. And whoever's not killed and these aid
masacers or just living in the starvation condition and the
bombing that is daily life in Gaza right now, whoever
makes it through there will be shipped off to another country, potentially,
as we have seen in this AP report South studan
really heartbreaking news coming out of Gaza a few days ago,

(32:16):
and the murder of Anna's Al Scherif, the Alxier Arabic
correspondent who really was an incredible voice for his people
from the north of Gaza. Here's how his death was reported.
His murder by the Israeli forces reported by the way
they also targeted his entire news crew and a tent

(32:38):
set aside for journalists. Here's how that was reported on
Al Jazeer English.

Speaker 8 (32:47):
This is Al Jazeera breaking news just coming out, sad
breaking news out of Gaza where Al Jazeera journalists Nasal
Sharif has just been killed in what appears to be
a targeted Israeli strike or this according to the director
of the Al Shifa Hospital, Annas was killed after retent
for journalists was hit outside the main gate of the hospital.
Well known Al Jazeera correspondent reported extensively from northern Gaza,

(33:09):
The twenty eight year old was a key source of
news from Gaza City and the north for international audiences
since Israel's war on this strip began some twenty two
months ago. Al Jazeira Media network had recently denounced the
Israeli military for what it called a campaign of incitement
against Sannas. Al Jharif Alzarif was one of the journalists
the Israeli military accused of being a member of Hamas's

(33:31):
military wing the UN.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
And I think that that is a very important thing
to highlight there from the Alzi report, And that's why
I wanted to play it is because Anas alchar Reef
knew because of these completely fabricated claims by the joy Garment,
they're now you know, pulling all these you know, kind
of fake texts out of the works. These clearly you know,
superimposed photoshop tweets or whatever of ASSOCIALI from the period

(33:55):
around October seventh as this so called purpose to justify
murder him and seven others in a tent set aside
for journalists. You know, they knew he was coming after
he was being charged. He knew he was being targeted
by the Israeli government. They essentially said it multiple times.
They were inciting campaigns violence. They're calling him a Hamas
terrorist without any of the evidence. And you know, to

(34:18):
be clear, the evidence that they provided is completely BS
so far, and he never stopped he could. He stayed
out there every single day reporting and really providing being
one of the only true sources of quality information on
a daily basis for a foreign media network about the
crimes Israel is doing to the Palisadians of Gaza. Really

(34:41):
just incredible, incredible stuff. And Mohamed Shahada, who is a
incredible Palsanian writer and researcher and analysts, who has been
an invaluable resource to follow throughout this entire general side.
It has been really they spouted off from memory. It

(35:02):
seems like an incredible list of Israeli lives throughout the genocide.
And he's making the case there that you can add
and I think it's a pretty open and shutcase that
you can add the idea that on a social reef
for any of the other journals that were killed were
members of Hamas to that long list of Israeli lives.
Here he goes for almost three minutes just listing lives

(35:23):
from the Israeli regime.

Speaker 10 (35:24):
One thing that you need to keep in mind is
Israel has been lying insistently since the beginning of the genocide.
It's been the cornerstone of Israel's genocidal campaign to lie
every single day about everything possible and to come up
with the most lunatic lies possible immaginable. Israel lied about massacring,

(35:45):
massacring the ambulance workers in Rapah. They lied about the
GHF massacres. They lied about the Shifa hospital, the Flower massacre,
the be Hated Babies Hamad, the hospital Hindreja, the terror
list at the Rantisi hospital that turned out to be
a calendar, the World Central kitchen workers, babies and ovens,
whitefish for us, deliberately starving Gazans, sin War surrounding himself

(36:08):
with twenty hostages in a tunnel, gazzing hostages, the Early hospital,
killing women and children with white flags, mass draping Palestinians,
non existent tunnels under graveyards, Nasall hospital for some abusaphilia,
mass graves, snipers targeting kids in the hits, providing protection
to criminal gangs that are looting aid systematically. Israel also

(36:28):
lied about wiping out Gaza incrementally gradually. They lie.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
I mean, yeah, it just it just never stops. He
goes on. Here is a minute eight seconds into a
two minute forty seven second clip of just lie after
lie after lie that the Israeli garment has told just
in this jealouside alone that they it has been already
completely disproven, and now throughout the entire world we're seeing
it being you know, on RA you know there's the doctor,

(36:55):
the top doctor of Alshiva Hospital, who is some abusavios,
who is kidnapped, and you know, these all the people
that were portrayed. You can listen again and again that
have all been conclusively disproven, that have all been including
this one, this latest one about unassocial reefs, that have
been parroted unfailingly without stop by the world's media. By

(37:17):
so essentially giving is really the incomplete and total accountability
to lie about whatever it wants, to make up whatever
it wants to essentially build its own reality and have
the world media, including in the United States, just lap
it up unceasingly. And Sherif Abdul Kudus, who is a
drop site news or Middle East editor, he reacted to this,

(37:41):
just this horrific, horrific reaction from Western journalists and Western
media that have contributed to all the lives that Mohama
Jahada just ran through there and many many more that
he mentions. Also probably by the rest of the clip,
including the lie that on as social reef was part
of Homos, and we saw that was reported by you
know outlests in Canada, outlets in Germany, outis in the

(38:03):
United States just uncritically that he was a member of Hamas.
So he and the seven others deserve to die. But
also this the fact that Israel was planting this stuff
for many, many months and there was nothing done by
all these Western journalists who claim to be you know,
protectors of freedom of the press, who stand up for

(38:24):
journalist under attack, who claim that they're under attack by
the administration, which really is a delusion of grandeur if
you look at what the journalists in Gaza are going through.
And I think Tree if Abdolkutos has a pitch perfect
reaction to the insanity going on in the West in
terms of Israel's war on Goadza, particularly their war on journalists.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
Two NASA is killing. I am still somehow shocked by it,
even though I shouldn't be after after so long by
Western media institutions. The National Press Club called for a
thorough and transparent examine ation of the circumstances surrounding us
his death. What on earth does that mean? They're putting

(39:06):
out a boilerplate statement calling for an investigation. Israel openly
publicly threatened him for months, they bombed at Tentus in
and then they took credit for it and bragged about it.
What investigation are you talking about? Reuters? The headline of
Reuters is Israel kills Al Jazeer journalist. It says was
hamas leader, and then it goes on to quote to

(39:28):
quote the Israeli military saying, you know, he was responsible
for advancing rocket attacks or some of this, you know,
preposterous claims. This is making this, it's enabling Israel to
do this. And if we look, there's been a progression
of brazenness of how Israel killed journalists in Palestine. In

(39:52):
the beginning, they would deny that they killed them, or
they would say it's collateral damage or that there was
some mistake, and then they started claiming that the journalists
were in fact militants after they killed them. They did
this with Hamsa Dahtur in January to twenty four they
produced some ridiculous documents claiming he's a Hamas militant or
stomachs you had, I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
And now you know what treef Abdolkutas is saying here.
So now they're doing it ahead of time. Now they're
laying the groundwork, and they know that they can get
away with it. They know that there's nothing that anyone
in the Western media will do to stop them, because
they view all policitians, journalists or not or just as
as not worthy of life to the same degree that
they are. And of course you know they've denied. They say, oh,

(40:35):
that's ridiculous, you're being outrageous, But your actions show it.
Your actions show it. You are following this situation on
the day to day basis. Your job is to follow
the news. You know what's happening here. But you are
too afraid, too weak, or too controlled by you know,
some sort of broader corporate entity or you know, force
that's afraid of pissing off the israel lobby to say

(40:56):
something about the systematic murder of your colleagues in Jazza As.
The Israeli government is literally laying the groundwork for it.
And I really like this here that I also want
to share from Muhammad al Kurd. The instinct of many
allies is to dispel the connection between slain Palistine journalists
and they're supposed to pultitical leanings as if anywhere in
the world these exists in isolation. I think it was

(41:17):
really a great point, kind of in line with the
perfect victims theory of what a lot of what Muhammad
al Kurt has done in his work. He's a Palestinian writer, poet,
just incredible thinker in terms of the Palestinian struggle. But
he says, you know, and to be clear, there is
no legitimate evidence, there's no good evidence that has been

(41:38):
backed up by anyone that's not a complete paid mouthpiece
of the Israeli government that I al Sharif was a
militant active in violent acts with Hamas in any way
at any point there's no evidence that that exists. But
for example, what el Kurd is saying is, if he
was sympathetic to the resistance in Gaza, did he just

(42:00):
to be murdered? Is he to be blown up by
the Israelis? Does that happen in any other place to
any other group of people? No, absolutely not. I think
he makes it a case very very clearly and very
very effectively in this article here. So the invention of
the civilian as a non partisan, neutral figure has exacerbated
the depoliticization of the palaest that needing cause to be

(42:20):
deemed where a civilian and the states that we live
in a mythological dimension, where we are where we are
without perspective. Our cause, as imagined in this mythology, is
no longer understood as a liberation struggle, but as a
humanitarian crisis, where revolutionaries are not part and parcel of
our nation motivated by political aspirations and dreams of emancipation. Instead,

(42:42):
they are interpreted as rogue actors, sensely wreaking havoc to
dismay have helped us by standards, the disinterested women and children,
the impartial paramedics and journalists. In such ahistorical readings which
obfuscate the power and balance between the occupier and occupied.
The militant is evacuated outside of the context that gave
rise to him or her in the first place. The
newscaster is expected to present the killings of her siblings

(43:04):
as if she was an unbiased observer, and the nurse
whose patient is a beloved coworker maimed by an airstrike
is expected to mean maintain professionalism, to not seek revenge
on the dane operator. It's like essentially what he has done.
And I think what is so impactful through his work
is talking about a court here is seeing Palestinians as

(43:26):
humans and they're not. Again, they're not the perfect victims.
They're humans. They say things, they do things that you
know aren't sanctified. They aren't you know, figures to be
nailed to the cross, to always feel bad for, but
in the end not doing anything about, not fight for
And this on a social reef example is a perfect
situation some months and also by the way it shows

(43:49):
how I think he points out very clearly this standard
doesn't exist for anybody else. Some months into the ongoing
geniside in Gaza, which is the deadliest conflict for journalists
in history the Israeli occupation. For US, his Open considered
a journalists employed by media organizations associated with or run
by Hamas to be legitimate military targets. A senior spokesperson
for the IOF one as far as telling reporters that

(44:10):
there is no difference between working for ox TV and
belonging to hamasa's armed wing. This statement brings to mind
another comment by a different military spokesman who said the
late Sharin Abo Akla, another murdered Algabi correspondent, was armed
with her camera, and also brings to mind a Jewish
Insider headline that reads, one third of journalists killed in
Gaza were affiliated with terrorist groups, a headline where journalists

(44:32):
justified killing journalists. The instinct of many defenders of Palestinians
is to dispel the connection between the slain Palestinian media
workers and their supposed political leanings, as if anywhere in
the world these exist in isolation. While it is demanded
of us to distance ourselves from the guerilla fighters struggling
against colonialism and occupation, Zionish soldiers, the colonizers and occupiers

(44:53):
can work without much scrutiny or irony in newsrooms and
in media washdog organizations. Take for example, Axios has put
a reporter covering Israeli affairs, brock of Rved, who was
until March only twenty three a reservist in the Israeli
Occupation Forces, specifically by the way, in their Unit eight
two hundred propaganda unit while working for an international media outlet.

(45:16):
Or the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg,
who dropped out of his American university to volunteer in
the IOF during the First Intifada, then during theory the
course of his job as a so called prison counselor
at the notorious Ketziot Camp, lied to cover up for
a friend whom he witnessed beating a prisoner. Correspondence entailed
with the Israeli Army are not challenged on the basis

(45:37):
of proximity to the conflict, let alone condemned to die
because of their participation in or fondness of the Israeli
military apparatus. And it's like it was a perfectly good
point there. It's like Jeffrey Goldberg, by Israeli logic should
be blown up today or if Hamas had their say,
and it would be legitimate for Hamas to blow them up.
It's like it is completely ridiculous in the point that

(46:00):
he's trying to make. I think it makes it so
so well, is that Palisidians, whether you're a journalist, whether
you're a medic, whether you're a civil service worker who
collects the trash, you exist in a society where you're
a human and you have feelings about the things going
on in your life. And only in Powiside, only in Gaza,

(46:22):
are they allowed or not allowed to have those feelings.
Are they supposed to keep these quiet and align them
with respectable pathways and respectable outlets. And that is another
example I think that occurred so capably points out of
the dehumanization that has really flourished and is behind things

(46:44):
like this tragic criminal murder of on us All Sharif,
who let me just say here to close out this video,
was a huge, huge inspiration to me, and I don't
you know whatever the points about his political and have
just why they may be the points that occurred is
making in this video on a social reef for me

(47:05):
personally speaking, was a huge inspiration who embodied the way
of journalism and the plutonic ideal of journalism that Westerners
and in the Washington Post, New York Times they always
aspire to, they pay lip service to. But this man
on a social reef put his life on the line
for it in a moment where his people were under attack.

(47:27):
He brought the truth of the Israeli crimes of genocide, starvation,
crimes against humanity. He brought those to the world when
no one else would. And for that, I think, as
long as I really live and I hope to continue
my career and pursue my career as a journalist, I
will always be thinking of someone like a social reef
as the absolute model to strive for when it comes

(47:47):
to telling the truth and what journalism has to be
to make a world a better place. Treto Percy, who
is the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute and
a top expert on Iran and really all things Middle
East in general, has a pretty big warning in prediction
in his new article for Foreign Policy about a coming

(48:11):
war between Iran and Israel's take a look at it.
The headline is the next Israel Iran war is coming.
Both countries' strategic calculus suggest it'll be even more violent
than the first, so a pretty important piece to look
to here, he says. This is going to come by
either as early as he says late August and as

(48:33):
late as December. Iran is expecting and preparing for this attack.
He says, it played a long game in the first war,
pacing its pensive attacks as it anticipated a protracted conflict
in the next round. However, Iran is likely to strike
decisively from the outset, aiming to dispel any notion it
could be subdued under Israeli military dominance. As a result,
the coming war will be far bloodier than the first.

(48:55):
If US President Donald Trump caves two Israeli pressure again
and joining the fight, the US could face a full
blown war with Iran that will make Iraq look easy.
By comparison, Israel's June war was never solely about iron
secular programming, he says. Rather, it was about shifting the
balance of power in the Middle East, with Iran's nuclear
capabilities being an important but non decisive factor. For more

(49:18):
than two decades, Iran has pushed the United States to
take military action against Iran to weaken it and restore
a more favorable regional balance, one that Israel cannot achieve
on its own. And he talks about beyond the Irani
nuclear program, which they kind of set back, but they
did not obviously destroy as nearly as Donald Trump had said,
because he completely lied about that, like he lies about

(49:39):
everything else to make himself and his authoritarian government look good.
But in this context he says Israel had strikes. The
strikes Israel did had three main objectives beyond weakening Iron's
nuclear infrastructure. A sow to draw in the United States,
interrotracting million conflict with Iran. To decapitate the Irani regime.

(49:59):
B And to turn the country into the next Seria
or Lebanon, essentially one that Israel has functionally complete control
over and can bomb at will without any sort of
with impunity, and without any sort of US support, because
you know, they had to get US support with Ran
because they were too powerful of a military, even though

(50:20):
you know, they caused so many deaths of civilians, especially
during their on sought on Iran for twelve days. Only
one of the three goals was realized, that decapitation of
the Iranian regime. And what's more, Trump did not obliterate
around secure program, nor has it been set back to
a point where the issue can be considered resolved. In

(50:41):
other words, with its June attacks, Israel has achieved a
partial victory at best. Its preferred outcome was for Trump
to fully engage, targeting both Iron's conventional forces and economic infrastructure.
But while Trump favors swift, decisive military action, he fears
full scale war because, as we were seeing, he doesn't
want to look like a loser. He doesn't want to
get into a conflict. He knows he can't win and
look good doing. And that's why he was really, according

(51:03):
to reports, encouraged to get involved in this war back
in June, because the Israelis were striking, they were looking good,
and Trump was like, hey, this looks pretty cool. I
want to get in on this. I want to I
want to get some of this glory, this military glory,
for myself. So he does the nuclear strike on for
dro but his refusal sorry, in the short term, he says.

(51:25):
He says here that Trump has succeeded, much to Israel' chagrin,
But in the long term, he's allowed Israel to trap
him into an escalatory cycle. All it takes is for
one more allegation, one more report from Israeli intelligence was
Trump has already confirmed he believes more than American intelligence
that Aron's building up their nuclear defense. Again, it wasn't
as good as we thought. We're gonna have to strike it.

(51:47):
The US is gonna have to comment after us. You
will right, you want to look good, you want to
stop Iron's terror army, and then what do you know,
We're back in another full scale conflict with the audience.
His refusal to escalate beyond a limited bombing campaign. It
was a key reason that Israel agreed to a cease fire.
As war continuing, Israel took serious losses. His air defenses

(52:07):
were degraded, and Iran continues to grow more effective at
penetrating them with missiles by the day. While Israel would
have likely continued the conflict of the United States had
fully committed the calculus change when it became clear that
Trump's strikes were a one off. Israel succeeded in drawing
Trump and the United States into the war, but it
failed to keep them there, as those other two objectives

(52:28):
were clear failures. Despite early intelligence suggests successes such as
killing thirty senior commanders and nineteen nuclear scientists, it was
only able to temporarily disrupt Irannie command in control. Within
eighteen hours, Aron had replaced most, if not all, of
these commanders and launched a heavy missile barrage, demonstrating the
ability to absorb significant losses and still mount a feerous

(52:48):
counter attack, because you know, in a lot of Israeli
military calculations, the feeling was, oh, we got them, this
is over. You know, we just took out thirty of
their top guys. You know they're not gonna be able
to mount a response, maybe at all. And then they
amount a pretty significant response that only grows in strength
as the Israeli military's air defenses degrade over time. So

(53:10):
that sets them up for a very interesting situation. Israel
hoped its initial strikes would insight panic within your Rani
regime and hasten its collapse. According to The Washington Posts,
said agents Food and Persian called Runnian officials on their
cell phones, threatening to kill them and their families unless
they filmed videos and announcing the regime and publicly defecting.

(53:31):
More than twenty such calls were made in the world's
early hours, while Iran's ruling elite were still in shock
and reeling from significant losses. Yet there's no evidence a
single Rondi in general capitulated to the threats, and the
regime's cohesion remain intact, and that was not a given
in the early hours of the war. Contrary to Israel's exivictations,
the killing of senior commanders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard

(53:54):
Corps did not lead to mass protests or an uprising
against the Islamic Republic. Instead, Iranians of all political stripes
rallied around the flag, if not the regime itself, as
a wave of nationalism surge across the country, and that
was something that really, you know, damaged Israel's favorite man,
the Shaw of Iran's son. I think his name is

(54:16):
Reza Shaw, because he was essentially supportive of the Israeli
government and their attack on the Iranian government, and that's
how he tried to frame it. Even though they're attacking hospitals,
they're attacking tons of you know, civilian targets regularly, and
that pissed a lot of Iranians who otherwise would have
been supportive of him and skeptical of the regime. It
pissed him off a lot. It's like he's attacking the

(54:38):
country that you're supposed to care about, mister Shaw, So
why would we want you to take over? Even if
we don't like the way this current regime is going.
Now it's something that has really contributed to the boosting
of the regime and really gave proved all their you know,
propaganda points about the evil Americans and the evil of
Israeli government to be completely correct. I was like, yeah,

(55:01):
they are after our destruction. We are the only thing
standing in the way of the return of the Shop
or some sort of Western occupation. So you may not
like us, we may be insane, radical Islamus.

Speaker 6 (55:13):
But.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
For now you're going to have to support us or
risk something that is objectively much worse. Instead, he says,
retreata parts, he says, instead of mobilizing the population against
the regime, is you'll manage to give a newly sun
life to the Islamic Republic's narrative. Rather than condemning the
regime for inventing a investing in a nuclear program, missiles,
and a network of allied non state actors. Many Iranians

(55:37):
are now angry that these elements of Iran's deterrence proved insufficient.
I used to be one of those who were chantering
protests not to send Iranian money to Lebanon or Pales side.
But now I understand that the bombs we all face
are one and if we don't have strong defenses across
the region, the war comes to us. An artist in
Toronto Narj's Bible heally, I'm definitely butchering that name. Apologies

(55:59):
to him, a professor at Johns Hopkins University. Whether the
shift will last is unclear, but in the short term,
Israel's attacks appeared to have paradoxical strengthen the Iranian regime,
tightening internal cohesion and narrowing the gap between state and society.
Israel also failed to turn Iron into a second Syria

(56:21):
and establish aerial dominance with independent of US support. While
Israel controlled Iranian airspace during the war, it did not
operate with the impunity. Iranian missile response inflicted unsustainable damage.
Without substantial US assistance, including the use of twenty five
percent of the US THAD missile interceptors in just twelve days,

(56:45):
Israel might have been unable to continue the war. This
makes a new Israel offensive likely. That is really some
prime Israeli logic. It's like, yeah, we struggled to hold
our own in the war last time, but you better
believe we're gonna be back at it pretty soon. Both
Defense Minister Israel Cats and Military Chief of Staff Alo

(57:05):
Zamir have signaled as much. The Judian War was just
the first phase, according to Zamir, who added that Israel
is now entering a new chapter of the conflict. Regardless
of whether Iran resumes Iranium or Richmond, Israel is determined
to deny it time to replenish its miss missile arsenal,
restore air defenses, or deploy improved systems that largic central
to Iran's mowing or say, Israel's mowing the grass strategy,

(57:28):
strike preventively and repeatedly to prohibit adversaries from developing capabilities
that could challenge Israeli military dominance. This means that with
Iran already rebuilding its military resources, Israel has an incentive
to strike sooner rather than later. What's more, the political
calculust around another attack becomes much more complicated once the
US enters the midterm election season. As a result, the
strike could very well take place within the coming months.

(57:51):
So you know, there you have it. That is one
of the most well respected i would say experts on
the region of Iran and Israel. I. Mean, he's been
pretty much in every media outlet talking about it, particularly
during the you know, twelve Day War outbreak, essentially warning
with a lot of real evidence here, essentially reading the
tea leaves of international politics that we could see in

(58:13):
Israeli strike soon, if only because they're worried about Iran
replenishing those missiles, even those kind of dud missiles that
would just go right into the hands of the Iron
Dome or any other one of Israel's missile defense systems.
They really what they were pretty effective in doing is
both cutting into the stock of missile defense systems that

(58:37):
Israel had on hand and also paving the white and
almost distracting the defense systems for the better missiles to
come in. So even if they get any sort of
missiles restock, it's going to prove a problem for Israel
and the especially the way the Twelve Day War went,
where it was clear that Israel's capabilities for defense were
rapidly diminishing. Over time, you know, you're going to see

(58:59):
a real effort by the Israelis to start to push
back and maybe lead the way for a further actions
and or on. It's gonna be very very interesting to
see how they do that, what type of kind of
propaganda elements they use to build that up, and also
what the US does to respond. And it really will

(59:20):
all be contingent on one man, and that's Donald Trump
and his reading of the situation. And if he thinks
he's gonna look like a louse if he gets involved,
or Netnahu and the Israeli government will convince him that
he will look cool.

Speaker 6 (59:32):
You know.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
It really is a sad state of affairs we are
in right now when it comes to the world, but
it's important to keep you all informed here on Newsflash.
That's all we got for you today. We're back at
the end of the week once again. On clips will
be on YouTube at the Stunts Walsh YouTube channel.
