[0:00] So ever when you know the Iranian negotiators were saying like we'll concede on
[0:03] all of these issues that you want us to concede on as they
[0:06] Had done so in the past with Obama with the JCPOA
[0:08] When American Israel used the the shroud of negotiations in an act of perfect
[0:16] to just attack Iran
[0:17] And blow up a school in Minab and kill a hundred and sixty eight little girls
[0:23] go into school
[0:23] And and decapitate the entire leadership structure the new guys that came in
[0:28] were much more
[0:30] hardcore they
[0:31] immediately started fighting back and and
[0:34] It's it hasn't been great at all
[0:37] I know that we try to maintain this position in America as though the war
[0:41] efforts are going great
[0:42] And I think for the most part people just look to how much they're paying at
[0:46] the gas pump to figure out whether things are going
[0:49] Well, or not, but it's complete chaos for the rest of the world right now
[0:52] I mean 20% of the entire world's energy supply
[0:57] Transits through the Strait of Hormuz is 21 miles wide. Okay, it is directly
[1:02] slammed between Oman and Iran
[1:04] And Iran can very easily control who gets to go through the Strait of Hormuz
[1:09] because you know
[1:10] 21 miles long and I've heard the for the super tankers that carry all of the
[1:14] you know the millions of barrels like
[1:16] There's only two miles that they can cross through you put some you put some
[1:21] mines in there
[1:22] It's over right you've disrupted the entire world's energy supply oils a global
[1:26] commodity
[1:26] There's inelastic demand
[1:28] So you have to get it, you know
[1:31] There's no alternative if you don't get oil if there's a complete blockade of
[1:35] oil or if there's a not enough oil in the in the
[1:38] International market, then it's bed limits chaos. I've seen it with my own two
[1:41] eyes
[1:42] We've created this chaos in Cuba 90 miles off of our coastline where Donald
[1:46] Trump implemented a full-blown oil blockade
[1:49] It's devastation. It's it's it's it's horrible and now Donald Trump is doing
[1:55] that to the rest of the world
[1:56] That's why he wants Cuba because it oil well Cuba doesn't have any oil
[2:00] The Cuba thing is actually very interesting. I think it's it's it's like a bo
[2:06] omer hang up for the most part
[2:08] It's kind of like Haiti where where there is this attitude amongst the the you
[2:14] know American capitalist and
[2:16] the
[2:18] The people that that dominate American politics that that want to constantly
[2:22] punish countries that have had successful
[2:25] revolutions Haiti had a successful slave revolution or slave rebellion and and
[2:30] you know the Western forces never
[2:32] Never stop punishing them for it. Right. They had to pay reparations the
[2:36] Francis and they've constantly been deliberately destabilized
[2:40] Just to you know
[2:43] show
[2:44] Just a just approval point basically to say like you can't do that and be
[2:48] liberated and live free and a similar thing happening Cuba Cuba had
[2:55] a
[2:57] Successful revolution
[2:59] It wasn't even a communist revolution initially at its inception. It was an agr
[3:02] arian revolution. It was a national revolution
[3:04] It was for sovereignty and dignity for the Cuban people
[3:07] They were being dominated by this guy named Batista who was an American puppet
[3:13] and you know
[3:14] There were a lot of financial interests, you know sugar plantations and and you
[3:19] know Cuba was a safe haven for the mafia for tourism
[3:23] And gambling. This was obviously devastating for the you know for the Cuban
[3:28] population, but it was great for American capital interests
[3:31] and and when they
[3:33] Made some changes and developed autonomy developed sovereignty and dignity
[3:37] America very quickly implemented an embargo and never
[3:41] Stopped punishing Cuba, but at the time of course the USSR
[3:45] Aided in the development of Cuba and the continuation of their their
[3:50] sovereignty
[3:51] But since the fall of the USSR since the dissolution of the USSR
[3:55] Obviously Cuba has been in a really horrible situation
[3:59] I want to ask you a one more question about that just before we move on about
[4:03] social media stuff Jerry Seinfeld, right?
[4:05] Walking down the street other day going through the next game. Somebody
[4:08] somebody asked him to free Palestine. He says it doesn't exist
[4:12] Yeah, what does that mean? He's just a gross racist, you know, that's what it
[4:16] is. There's it's there's common
[4:18] There's common talking points amongst
[4:20] Amongst Zionists amongst defenders of Israel and one of them is the idea that
[4:26] Palestine is not a real place
[4:27] And that Palestinians are not a real concept some of them claim that it's a
[4:32] socialist invention
[4:33] Some of them claim that Arafat invented this concept. It's not true. I mean it
[4:38] Palestine existed under Ottoman occupation initially under the Ottoman Empire
[4:44] and then it became a British holdover
[4:47] Occupied state British occupied Palestine
[4:49] So it's it's existed for far longer than Israel as Israel's only existed since
[4:55] 1948
[4:57] Palestine has existed far beyond Israel. So both places have a right to exist.
[5:02] I hear people that are anti-Israel
[5:03] They'll say Israel doesn't have a right to I think Israel and its current
[5:07] formation
[5:08] Given that it's a settler colonial operation that's seeking out the expulsion
[5:13] or complete
[5:15] determination of the indigenous population
[5:17] As a as in apartheid state does not have a right to exist
[5:21] This is like for me is like saying does Nazi Germany have a right to exist or
[5:24] does apartheid South Africa have a right to exist?
[5:27] Does Rhodesia have a right to exist? No, of course not
[5:29] People have a right to exist people do exist Israel currently exist
[5:34] It's just a matter of are they following internationally?
[5:37] Manitarian laws and they certainly are not and and I I want to change that
[5:43] So is it like saying magda doesn't have a right to
[5:45] Like a movement exactly like that doesn't mean that you know
[5:50] That doesn't mean kill all Republicans or whatever right? I mean, I'm sure that
[5:55] 's how people would present it as I mean
[5:57] This is this is a trick that
[6:01] Every political movement deploys right you say black lives matter. They turn
[6:05] around and say oh, how about all lives matter
[6:07] You're you're saying black lives matter, which means you're saying white lives
[6:11] don't matter
[6:11] It's like no, that's a whole different sentence. So the the does Israel have a
[6:17] right to exist
[6:18] Deployment as a as a statement as a question is a technique to shift the
[6:26] conversation away from Israel's crimes against the Palestinians
[6:30] To make it seem like the opposition is actually being crazy and they want like
[6:36] all Jews to be exterminated all Israelis to be exterminated
[6:39] Which is not the case. That's not a real point of advocacy
[6:43] It's certainly not my advocacy. What do you think about the concept of techno
[6:49] feudalism?
[6:50] So we're at the tail end of capitalism and capitalism is morphing into this
[6:55] thing called techno feudalism
[6:57] So another person who's been stopped from traveling around the you not the UK
[7:02] But in Germany honest verifakis wrote about this
[7:07] He's he's the man. I love him. Uh, and you know, I'm honored to see him as a
[7:11] peer and a colleague nowadays, but
[7:13] He would he would definitely come on. He's so he's so charismatic to he's so
[7:20] handsome. He's another one of those rich socialists
[7:22] okay, but he was the finance minister of Greece and
[7:27] Anyway, so he's he's wonderful. He's brilliant. And yes, I do agree with his
[7:32] analysis that the the new
[7:35] the new dominion is is
[7:38] One that is being fought on
[7:40] The internet one that is being fought through these tech companies
[7:44] I'll give you one example that actually ties back to my own personal experience
[7:48] , right?
[7:48] so PayPal and Venmo are American companies and
[7:54] When I went to Cuba I found out that
[8:01] There are many they keep coming after you every time I talk about Cuba for
[8:06] Israel. You just keep getting notified. Oh
[8:08] So I was talking to some people
[8:11] That we're out there now obviously America has tremendous restrictions over
[8:16] what you can and can't do in Cuba
[8:17] These are arbitrary. They're ridiculous. They literally will can send you to
[8:21] prison for 10 years if you stay in the wrong hotel
[8:25] Unbelievable stuff, right now. No such restrictions exist if you're Canadian or
[8:30] if you're Mexican
[8:31] Or if you're from any other part of the world these countries all have totally
[8:35] normal relations with Cuba
[8:37] Of course, they can't really trade with Cuba because they're worried that
[8:41] America will opt it will deploy secondary sanctions on them
[8:44] so that obviously
[8:46] Harms the Cuban economy in a spectacular manner
[8:49] one of these in city is ways in which American tech companies get to enforce
[8:55] their arbitrary rules over a
[8:57] Two totally separate independent sovereign nations is when
[9:02] If you were let's say an Italian person, right
[9:06] Sending your Swiss friend money and you wrote
[9:10] Cuba Libre because you you know when and you got the Cuba Libre drink, right?
[9:15] And you wrote that in your Venmo payment. They shut down your account
[9:20] This is an American company that gets to
[9:23] To impose these arbitrary restrictions that are silly on
[9:28] The entire world that uses these these American tech companies
[9:34] And if there's no European alternative then there's no European sovereignty
[9:38] there, right? If you're on American internet if you're using
[9:42] American companies and and
[9:45] They've provided a lot of of new liberties for you a lot of opportunities for
[9:49] you
[9:49] You know like YouTube is another one, right?
[9:51] Then then in the interim you think oh, it's fine, you know where I'm just I'm
[9:57] just
[9:58] Making YouTube videos is whatever it's the end of the day. It's not a big deal,
[10:02] but you're actually
[10:03] Generating value for America. So for these other countries
[10:07] They don't have an alternative. They've never designed an alternative so they
[10:12] have this over reliance on American companies
[10:14] Sometimes that can lead to these arbitrary restrictions that I just mentioned
[10:18] and in other instances are I guess the most nefarious?
[10:21] The way is that it's it's a bunch of American capitalists that are making money
[10:26] off of your labor off of your output off of
[10:29] What you are doing and that's part of the reason why you know a lot of these
[10:33] other countries due to national security concerns initially
[10:36] Have developed alternatives. I mean in China. I went there all the all the
[10:40] applications are Chinese
