In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel. Right now, the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran. [00:00:15] The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th on seven fronts, including direct attacks from Iranian soil. Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has [00:00:33] the right and the duty to respond. Israel currently bombing Iran, starting another big war in the Middle East. Iran is four times the size of Iraq. U.S. Forces are in the area and they might get hit, which of course, [00:00:50] I think is part of the plan. We're going to get to that in a second. I'll tell you all the details and the facts about that, but let's start by explaining what's happening right now. Fars Forest News, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, reported multiple large explosions rocked Tehran. Other Iranian media sites reported that explosions were near or at [00:01:09] Imam Khomeini International Airport. Residents have poured into the street, witnesses said. So now, of course, Iran joins Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Yemen and I might be missing some countries that have been bombed by Israel, [00:01:26] where all the the residents in that area flee in panic and terror as Israeli bombs fall all over the Middle East. Reza Rashid, a prominent journalist in Iran, said five large explosions were heard in Tehran within about 10s. [00:01:43] He said Iranian Air force jets have taken off in the western parts of the country. Yeah. Good luck to those Air Force jets. So look, the Israeli military is far superior to the Iranian military. And then, of course, the US military's backing it up. So I think Iran is in a good deal of trouble in terms [00:02:02] of the short term outcome of this. I think the world is in a lot of trouble for the long term consequences of this. And I want to be clear, they're bombing Iran right now. The other countries that I mentioned, they bombed earlier, the Israeli military has announced that it is that it strikes are underway in Iran. [00:02:18] It has rarely, if ever, previously acknowledged Israeli military action on Iranian territory. They commit a lot of action in Iranian territory. They did an assassination in Tehran, the capital of Iran, earlier killed one of the leaders of Hamas there. They've also assassinated many Iranian physicists. [00:02:37] Some, they speculated, were in the Iranian nuclear program. Others are not as clear. One of the physicists was killed in front of his kids while picking them up from kindergarten. But hey, it's Israel. They're a moral army, so they're allowed to assassinate and bomb anyone anywhere. [00:02:53] So if you've got an Israeli product, Be careful what's in it? All right. According to Axios, U.S. And Israeli officials believe Iran will respond militarily. But get a load of this. This is the in this tragic story, there is a bit of amusement, but hope it will [00:03:10] be limited and allow the two adversaries to break the tit for tat cycle. Okay, so I've got more on that insanity from Axios for you, but the idea here is if we bomb them really hard, well then they probably won't respond [00:03:25] or will respond lightly. And that'll end it. Because usually when one side escalates, the other side says, oh, okay, no problem. We surrender because you're superior to us. That has never worked like that. Ever, ever, ever. No, they will also escalate and it will devolve. [00:03:43] And that's, of course, exactly what Benjamin Netanyahu, the warmonger, wants. And if you don't remember, Benjamin Netanyahu was one of the neoconservatives who also thought that we should go into Iraq, not Israel, that we should go into Iraq. And he got exactly what he wanted, and he said it was going to be easy. [00:03:59] The neocons said they were going to throw Rose at her feet. Did Iraq look easy to you guys after losing thousands of our citizens and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and trillions of dollars? Turned out it wasn't easy. But again, Netanyahu's attacking Iran this time dragging us into it, [00:04:18] promising it will be easy. If you bomb them enough, they won't respond. Here, I'll give you more from Axios. U.S. Officials said the goal was to deter Iran from responding and help Israel defend itself from another Iranian missile barrage. [00:04:33] How would attacking them deter them from responding? This is the same kind of dumb things they said about Iraq. Oh no. If we bomb them, they will love us. And they literally said about Iraq, they will throw roses at our feet. Well, if you call IEDs roses, okay, maybe, but and here we are again. [00:04:52] And remember when the press said, oh, we're not going to make that same mistake where we just got roped into telling you lies. Oh golly gee, we didn't know they were lies. Oh, no. We thought they had weapons of mass destruction. They were about to attack us. Netanyahu and Cheney told us. So we won't do that again. And here we are. [00:05:09] And they're saying, oh, no, if you bomb Iran, that'll make war less likely. Yeah. If you're in the book, 1984, that's exactly how it would go. George Orwell was a genius. More. President Biden's secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin, decided to deploy a missile defense system in Israel with the crew of U.S. [00:05:27] Military operators. Now, that is very relevant, because that means U.S. Soldiers could actively engage in the fighting between Israel and Iran on Israeli soil. And the minute that Iran hits a U.S. Soldier, or we hear that Iran hit a US soldier. [00:05:48] Here we go. Then they say, oh, there's nothing we could do. We had to get into a giant war with Iran. We had to. Our special ally has invaded this country. We have to support their invasion. I mean, I mean, I mean the right to self-defense, self defense right there, [00:06:04] self defending themselves all over the Middle East. And lastly, here on Friday, several hours before the Israeli strike, Centcom command, announced Centcom, sorry, announced the US Air Force F-16s from the 480th Fighter Squadron, based at air base in Germany, had arrived in the US Central Command area of responsibility. [00:06:24] In other words, we didn't vote for that war. America never declared war. But Biden sent all of our troops and our military there to engage in this war already. Where was the goddamn vote? I don't remember a vote. [00:06:39] Did Congress vote on a war? No. Nothing. But instead, Biden's like, oh yeah, Israel is doing self-defense in the middle of Tehran, the capital of Iran. That's where you're doing self-defense. Look, I know. Yes, Iran helps the proxies of Hezbollah and Hamas because they're outraged by [00:06:56] the occupation that has lasted 57 years. But I know we're not supposed to complain about the occupation. I mean, I mean, it's only Palestinians and Arabs, you know, that they're savages. They need to be occupied and oppressed. How dare Iran help other people fight back? And so, of course, they too had to be occupied, like southern Lebanon [00:07:15] and northern Gaza and the West Bank. And on and on it goes. And soon maybe they'll be occupying Iran and say, well, we had to. I mean, we had to take all of these countries for our self-defense. Okay. Mondale, what are your thoughts? [00:07:31] Listen, I have no evidence to prove what I think, Jake, but I'm going to say it, and I'm going to I'm going to preface this again. I have no evidence to prove this, but Benjamin Netanyahu is a lot of things, but dumb is not one of them. And I think this is an intentional, political act on American, Americans. [00:07:48] This is him. Been an act in American politics as he's been for so many cycles. And I think this is disgusting that he's playing with so many people's lives. Escalating the situation at this moment, this close to an election. So as to try to have a sway in what is and what isn't. [00:08:06] I'm disgusted by this for the simple fact that, Benjamin Netanyahu does not care about anything except for Benjamin Netanyahu and his extreme government. And to to say that you didn't have a role, Benjamin Netanyahu, when you killed Iranian generals, knowing what was going to be the repercussion. [00:08:23] And they were going to strike back and then to get on TV or send your proxy on TV to say that this is to protect Israel. This is to, stop Iran from bombing Israel is absolutely disgusting because it's not going to stop Iran. [00:08:39] It's going to make them bomb more. And we know you already articulated it is in hopes that an American get killed. So to drag us in this war. And we are obligated to say that some at, some at to some extent, [00:08:54] our Congress and our current president is partly responsible for this because they were acting weak and they allowed him to keep going and keep bombing the hell out of Gaza and Hezbollah. And this is where we are. It is it is the weakness of American administration and Congress [00:09:11] that has got us in this point. It is disgusting behavior, for sure. Of course, the American Congress is responsible for this. They sat back and did literally nothing besides help Israel more ever. This has been going on even from, you know, specifically from October 7th. So over a year ago and even at the time they said, you know, oh, we're going [00:09:30] to just like deal with this easily. It'll it'll be over soon. Whatever. Everyone knew that that was not going to be the case, right. We've seen this happen before. This looks just like World War two. This looks just like after September 11th, you know? But Israel is the most moral army in the world. [00:09:46] So they're also incredibly bold for such a small country, right? They have no shame in saying these things and then acting one way. They have no shame in their blatant hypocrisy between the things that they say and the things that they do, but they believe that they're entitled to more land and more resources, [00:10:02] and they believe that they're entitled to more US money and more US weapons. And honestly, you can't blame them for believing that because we keep sending them money and weapons, and we do so even as they continue to go rogue and attack more and more people, even as the US is saying, please don't do that. [00:10:18] And they're like, we're going to do it anyway. But if they hide behind morality and just defensiveness, right, they're always on the defense. They're never on the offense, even though they're the ones attacking people. But they can get away with anything. If that excuse can be thrown at any one situation. It can work in a different situation, right? [00:10:35] It's the same thing. There's no difference between Gaza or Iran or Yemen or wherever. And the idea that preempting aggression justifies His aggression is kind of unfathomable, but it's also exhausting. It's just wartime propaganda. Referring to, what you were saying about how they'll back off if you attack them. [00:10:56] We know that they don't believe that that is a dumb military tactic. It has not been proven to work throughout history, but it's baffling how it keeps working on the American people. They can just keep saying the same tired line to the American people. And so many Americans still support this war and still support Israel [00:11:13] and everything that they're doing in Gaza and the surrounding areas. So Yasmin is in Texas. Let me use an analogy. If you went up to a guy in Texas and you slapped him across the face, do you think that would deter him from striking you back, or would it cause him to strike you back? - Yeah, especially. - Coming from me. [00:11:28] He would say, whoa, whoa, whoa, let me not mess with her. And then we would just go our separate ways. That's exactly how it would go down. I mean, coming. From any of us coming from anybody, I mean, the other side is going to strike back. That's the most obvious thing in the world. You'd have to be a gargantuan liar to say something so stupid as if we hit them. [00:11:45] That means they won't hit us back. So now let's look this tit for tat stuff that they do. And it's maddening. But I've got to clarify a bunch of things. So first of all, the US military is not engaging in these offensive strikes against Iran. Only the Israeli military is. But then I would ask Biden, then why do you have them there? [00:12:02] What is your purpose in that? Oh, Iran is so dangerous. We're here to defend Israel. Almost none of Iran's bombs land. Almost none of Hezbollah's bombs land. Wow. So dangerous. Meanwhile, Israel killed 2400 people in southern Lebanon. [00:12:18] Already I lost count. It's probably higher than that. That was from a couple of days ago. But to be fair, Israel. 1200 people died in Israel already, twice as many in Lebanon. And that's a minor incursion for them. Over 42,000 dead in Gaza. Every one of Israel's bombs lands. [00:12:34] And when it does, it kills hundreds of people. Now they've killed thousands, tens of thousands of people. The other side's bombs barely land. They generally don't. So this idea that, oh my God, Israel is about to be. Oh my. They're in such grave danger. [00:12:49] Since October 7th, they've lost. What? How many people? It's not even. It's minuscule compared to the people who have died in Gaza and Lebanon and now Iran. No. Look, guys, I care about the Israeli lives. I don't want any of them lost. [00:13:05] I care that they are worried about the Hezbollah rockets that never land. I get it, they're still worried about it, I get it, and some tiny amount now have begun to land. But when you then go bomb Iran, as they did when they killed Ismail Haniyeh, when you go do endless assassinations in their territory, [00:13:24] then you're not going to be dealing with a Hezbollah and you're not. This is not a Hezbollah issue. This is not a Lebanon issue. This is not a Hamas or occupied territories issue. This is Israel definitely attacking Iran first. So I know Israel thinks no, we're sainted. We never. [00:13:44] It's everything we do. All the slaughter, all the decades of occupation is all self-defense. You can tell yourself pretty little lies. Just don't drag us, us into it. And we're definitely going to get dragged into it. So, Biden, why are they there? You're not worried about Iran's military? [00:13:59] They're there. The U.S. Troops are there to get hit so that the US can fight this war for Israel. And then the lying politicians and the lying media that we have poor Israel. Oh, we never did anything to encourage them. [00:14:16] Oh, Biden, he's such an innocent victim in this. And the Republicans, too. Well, why did you give him $4 billion every year? Why did you give him $26 billion to reward them for the genocide and ethnic cleansing that's happening in Gaza? When somebody does something and you give them $26 billion for it, [00:14:32] they don't view that as a red light. They view that as a green light. That is not complicated unless you're a moron mainstream media reporter who's like, oh, I don't know. Gee, golly gee, I don't know how Israel got the idea that we're in favor [00:14:48] of all of their aggressive wars against all of their neighbors. So at this point, we've got political ramifications that are going to happen here as well. And we've got to talk about that in case in the in regards to the race. [00:15:05] I don't know how it plays out. Does this hurt Kamala Harris? Does it hurt Donald Trump? I don't know, because they're both idiots who keep saying, oh, I love war, Trump said. We should have bombed them earlier. So Trump is definitely in favor of starting this war. [00:15:20] If you think he's anti-war. He's on tape saying bomb their nuclear facilities. How is that anti-war? Okay, if you're just not on this planet and you think starting a war is anti-war, okay, just understand that you're actually living in a mental asylum. [00:15:36] And then Kamala Harris. Also totally guilty. 100% guilty. A million opportunities to say, I'm going to cut the funding if they keep doing this and say, no, no, no, no, beloved Israel, I will [00:15:52] serve them forever and ever and ever. Okay, both of you trying to lose the election. America doesn't want this war. This is not America's war. This is Israel aggressive war to occupy northern Gaza, to occupy southern Lebanon, and to start a giant war. [00:16:08] And do you know why they are picking on Iran? Why are they going after Iran? You think it's because of rockets that don't land? You can solve that in one day. You could end the occupation and nobody's bombing, I know. Oh, yeah, they're all anti-Semites. They all. They all want to kill us for no reason. [00:16:23] Not because we're occupying them, but for no reason. Because, you know, those dirty terrorist, savage Muslims, right? The whole point, the the ideology that the Palestinians cannot be free because they are too violent is racist at its core. [00:16:40] Everyone who makes that argument is racist at their core. There is no such thing as any human being who's too violent to make peace, and who can never govern themselves, that they're such savages, that they can never govern themselves. Right now, the terrorist government of Israel [00:16:57] says the Palestinians will never be free. They voted for it in their cabinet. They said, we are never, ever going to give them a Palestinian state. What would you do if you were in Texas? If you were anywhere, what would you do if someone occupied your land and said, you have? I can cut off your food, your water. [00:17:12] I can kill your family any time I want, and I'm going to come in and bomb you and kill you and detain you and occupy you. But if you fight back, you're a savage terrorist. So if you fight back, it's your fault. You made me occupy you. You made me bomb you. [00:17:28] You made me kill your children. No, they didn't make you do that. Israel chose to do that. And both idiots, warmonger Kamala Harris and warmonger Donald Trump are saying green light drag America into a war. We'd love to pay for Israel's war. I hate it, the American people hate it. [00:17:47] The only good news that comes out of this is that whoever wins this election, they're going to back Israel, and then they're going to get clobbered by the American people for it. America is going to hate this war, and it's going to explode on the head of whoever wins this election and backs Israel, because we're sick of this. [00:18:05] We're sick of paying for this slaughter. All right, guys, sorry I'm animated about it. Mondale last thoughts? I know, I listen, I don't need the mansplaining or mansplaining. I think that was absolutely a serious indictment [00:18:21] of everybody who has a role in this. And it is. Absolutely. I think it's very childish of our politics for people even to pretend that one, America's politicians in Washington, D.C., don't have a role in this. Sitting back, still funding Israel with no repercussions of how they treat people. [00:18:37] We can't pretend that we care about humanity, or that we are the leader of the free world. When we allow so many people to be innocent, people to be murdered. They could have they could have created 4 or 5 militias the size of of the one that was controlling Gaza. [00:18:53] If you count the number of people that were murdered. So this is absolutely disgusting. And I think it is also childish for America not to have a strong rebuke of Benjamin Netanyahu's extremely right wing government that is, playing politics with the lives of so many people and destabilizing the Middle East, [00:19:11] continually destabilizing the, the lives of people in the Middle East simply so he can maintain power. Bombing Iran right now is extremely reckless, not just because American lives over there, not just because of what could happen, the repercussions [00:19:28] and how strong Iran's military is. It is extremely reckless because Israel knows what they're doing. It is it is a it is a is a bid to win back favor from the rest of the world. That is pissed off that they showed up this year the way they have. [00:19:44] Yeah. I just want to point out and remind people that Trump, while he was president, he declared Jerusalem for Israel. So that set the stage for a lot of this and a lot at the time. It made some headlines, but really not as much as I felt like it should have at the time. And he also pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, the Obama era Iran nuclear deal, [00:20:03] which allowed Iran to start fortifying nuclear, fortifying uranium. I'm sorry, to the to the strength that they would need to build nuclear bombs. Whereas before with the Iran nuclear deal, they were unable to do so. But, you know, anyone from any colonized nation can see exactly what this is. [00:20:20] Israel acts like they're better than other colonizers, maybe in a similar way that the US does, but they are the aggressors and that's it. Nothing else. Once upon a time they were the victims, but today they are not the victims anymore. It's the same thing, like what happened after nine over 11. But the difference is [00:20:36] that this time we have social media. We can literally see the damage that we as a country are inflicting on the rest of the world. And the US loves its proxy wars, right? We love to sit on the sidelines. We are geographically separated from the rest of the world. So we like to pretend like, oh, it's not us. [00:20:52] We're just over here living our lives very comfortable lives that we live over here. But we can see all of our tax dollars, what it's funding and we can. We have bombarded on our phones all day, every day. We see images of dead children, bombed buildings, [00:21:08] bombed schools, bombed hospitals. They cannot hide in the same way that they did after September 11th, because after September 11th, a lot of the American people were very ignorant as to what was actually going on over in the Middle East. It was so far away from us, we weren't even thinking about it. Whenever we were attacked on nine over 11, most Americans had no idea why. [00:21:28] Genuinely, most Americans were like, why would they do that to us? We were just over here living our lives. It's very bizarre. But this whole situation with October 7th compared to the nine over 11, there's a lot of similarities, not just in what happened, but also in the responses to it. [00:21:44] Right. Invading other countries just because, you know, just because there's general volatility. And that in and of itself, I think is rooted in racism, specifically the fact that I think the United States, the people here, they don't really know the difference between [00:21:59] the different countries over there. So I think whenever we were attacked by people from Saudi Arabia back in 2001, and then our president went up there and said, we're going to invade Iraq, most people are like, that makes sense, because I think it just like it didn't click that that didn't make any sense. [00:22:16] It really didn't. So, yeah, the colonizers had to defend themselves to keep occupying and colonizing and other people. Wow, what a compelling argument.
