1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.940
So ever when you know the Iranian negotiators were saying like we'll concede on

2
00:00:03.940 --> 00:00:06.580
all of these issues that you want us to concede on as they

3
00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:08.900
Had done so in the past with Obama with the JCPOA

4
00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:16.010
When American Israel used the the shroud of negotiations in an act of perfect

5
00:00:16.010 --> 00:00:17.680
to just attack Iran

6
00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:23.140
And blow up a school in Minab and kill a hundred and sixty eight little girls

7
00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:23.640
go into school

8
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.820
And and decapitate the entire leadership structure the new guys that came in

9
00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:29.920
were much more

10
00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:31.600
hardcore they

11
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:34.460
immediately started fighting back and and

12
00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:37.600
It's it hasn't been great at all

13
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.170
I know that we try to maintain this position in America as though the war

14
00:00:41.170 --> 00:00:42.380
efforts are going great

15
00:00:42.380 --> 00:00:46.310
And I think for the most part people just look to how much they're paying at

16
00:00:46.310 --> 00:00:49.160
the gas pump to figure out whether things are going

17
00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:52.360
Well, or not, but it's complete chaos for the rest of the world right now

18
00:00:52.360 --> 00:00:56.140
I mean 20% of the entire world's energy supply

19
00:00:57.080 --> 00:01:02.500
Transits through the Strait of Hormuz is 21 miles wide. Okay, it is directly

20
00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:04.640
slammed between Oman and Iran

21
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.680
And Iran can very easily control who gets to go through the Strait of Hormuz

22
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:10.480
because you know

23
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.920
21 miles long and I've heard the for the super tankers that carry all of the

24
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:16.720
you know the millions of barrels like

25
00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:21.290
There's only two miles that they can cross through you put some you put some

26
00:01:21.290 --> 00:01:22.240
mines in there

27
00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:26.180
It's over right you've disrupted the entire world's energy supply oils a global

28
00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:26.800
commodity

29
00:01:26.800 --> 00:01:28.640
There's inelastic demand

30
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.440
So you have to get it, you know

31
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:35.410
There's no alternative if you don't get oil if there's a complete blockade of

32
00:01:35.410 --> 00:01:38.440
oil or if there's a not enough oil in the in the

33
00:01:38.440 --> 00:01:41.770
International market, then it's bed limits chaos. I've seen it with my own two

34
00:01:41.770 --> 00:01:42.040
eyes

35
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.900
We've created this chaos in Cuba 90 miles off of our coastline where Donald

36
00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:49.360
Trump implemented a full-blown oil blockade

37
00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:55.320
It's devastation. It's it's it's it's horrible and now Donald Trump is doing

38
00:01:55.320 --> 00:01:56.580
that to the rest of the world

39
00:01:56.800 --> 00:02:00.480
That's why he wants Cuba because it oil well Cuba doesn't have any oil

40
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:06.390
The Cuba thing is actually very interesting. I think it's it's it's like a bo

41
00:02:06.390 --> 00:02:08.000
omer hang up for the most part

42
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.000
It's kind of like Haiti where where there is this attitude amongst the the you

43
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.120
know American capitalist and

44
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.160
the

45
00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:22.960
The people that that dominate American politics that that want to constantly

46
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.000
punish countries that have had successful

47
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.520
revolutions Haiti had a successful slave revolution or slave rebellion and and

48
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.680
you know the Western forces never

49
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.670
Never stop punishing them for it. Right. They had to pay reparations the

50
00:02:36.670 --> 00:02:40.240
Francis and they've constantly been deliberately destabilized

51
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.760
Just to you know

52
00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:44.680
show

53
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.960
Just a just approval point basically to say like you can't do that and be

54
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:53.520
liberated and live free and a similar thing happening Cuba Cuba had

55
00:02:55.040 --> 00:02:57.040
a

56
00:02:57.040 --> 00:02:59.040
Successful revolution

57
00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:02.750
It wasn't even a communist revolution initially at its inception. It was an agr

58
00:03:02.750 --> 00:03:04.720
arian revolution. It was a national revolution

59
00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:07.280
It was for sovereignty and dignity for the Cuban people

60
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.440
They were being dominated by this guy named Batista who was an American puppet

61
00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:14.640
and you know

62
00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:19.220
There were a lot of financial interests, you know sugar plantations and and you

63
00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:22.720
know Cuba was a safe haven for the mafia for tourism

64
00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:28.500
And gambling. This was obviously devastating for the you know for the Cuban

65
00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:31.400
population, but it was great for American capital interests

66
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.920
and and when they

67
00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:37.960
Made some changes and developed autonomy developed sovereignty and dignity

68
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.200
America very quickly implemented an embargo and never

69
00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:45.560
Stopped punishing Cuba, but at the time of course the USSR

70
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:50.140
Aided in the development of Cuba and the continuation of their their

71
00:03:50.140 --> 00:03:51.080
sovereignty

72
00:03:51.320 --> 00:03:55.720
But since the fall of the USSR since the dissolution of the USSR

73
00:03:55.720 --> 00:03:59.000
Obviously Cuba has been in a really horrible situation

74
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.240
I want to ask you a one more question about that just before we move on about

75
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.840
social media stuff Jerry Seinfeld, right?

76
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.720
Walking down the street other day going through the next game. Somebody

77
00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:12.040
somebody asked him to free Palestine. He says it doesn't exist

78
00:04:12.040 --> 00:04:16.820
Yeah, what does that mean? He's just a gross racist, you know, that's what it

79
00:04:16.820 --> 00:04:18.700
is. There's it's there's common

80
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.960
There's common talking points amongst

81
00:04:20.960 --> 00:04:26.090
Amongst Zionists amongst defenders of Israel and one of them is the idea that

82
00:04:26.090 --> 00:04:27.680
Palestine is not a real place

83
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:32.400
And that Palestinians are not a real concept some of them claim that it's a

84
00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:33.640
socialist invention

85
00:04:33.640 --> 00:04:38.520
Some of them claim that Arafat invented this concept. It's not true. I mean it

86
00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:44.020
Palestine existed under Ottoman occupation initially under the Ottoman Empire

87
00:04:44.020 --> 00:04:46.200
and then it became a British holdover

88
00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:49.920
Occupied state British occupied Palestine

89
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:55.960
So it's it's existed for far longer than Israel as Israel's only existed since

90
00:04:55.960 --> 00:04:57.180
1948

91
00:04:57.180 --> 00:05:02.330
Palestine has existed far beyond Israel. So both places have a right to exist.

92
00:05:02.330 --> 00:05:03.960
I hear people that are anti-Israel

93
00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:07.320
They'll say Israel doesn't have a right to I think Israel and its current

94
00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:08.040
formation

95
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:13.180
Given that it's a settler colonial operation that's seeking out the expulsion

96
00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:13.960
or complete

97
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.160
determination of the indigenous population

98
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.000
As a as in apartheid state does not have a right to exist

99
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.820
This is like for me is like saying does Nazi Germany have a right to exist or

100
00:05:24.820 --> 00:05:27.400
does apartheid South Africa have a right to exist?

101
00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:29.960
Does Rhodesia have a right to exist? No, of course not

102
00:05:29.960 --> 00:05:34.360
People have a right to exist people do exist Israel currently exist

103
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.600
It's just a matter of are they following internationally?

104
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:42.840
Manitarian laws and they certainly are not and and I I want to change that

105
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.720
So is it like saying magda doesn't have a right to

106
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:50.720
Like a movement exactly like that doesn't mean that you know

107
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:55.540
That doesn't mean kill all Republicans or whatever right? I mean, I'm sure that

108
00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:57.640
's how people would present it as I mean

109
00:05:57.640 --> 00:06:01.120
This is this is a trick that

110
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.720
Every political movement deploys right you say black lives matter. They turn

111
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:07.800
around and say oh, how about all lives matter

112
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.480
You're you're saying black lives matter, which means you're saying white lives

113
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:11.960
don't matter

114
00:06:11.960 --> 00:06:17.200
It's like no, that's a whole different sentence. So the the does Israel have a

115
00:06:17.200 --> 00:06:18.680
right to exist

116
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:26.040
Deployment as a as a statement as a question is a technique to shift the

117
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.700
conversation away from Israel's crimes against the Palestinians

118
00:06:30.700 --> 00:06:36.210
To make it seem like the opposition is actually being crazy and they want like

119
00:06:36.210 --> 00:06:39.320
all Jews to be exterminated all Israelis to be exterminated

120
00:06:39.320 --> 00:06:43.160
Which is not the case. That's not a real point of advocacy

121
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:49.710
It's certainly not my advocacy. What do you think about the concept of techno

122
00:06:49.710 --> 00:06:50.760
feudalism?

123
00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:55.610
So we're at the tail end of capitalism and capitalism is morphing into this

124
00:06:55.610 --> 00:06:57.280
thing called techno feudalism

125
00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:02.680
So another person who's been stopped from traveling around the you not the UK

126
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.860
But in Germany honest verifakis wrote about this

127
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:11.970
He's he's the man. I love him. Uh, and you know, I'm honored to see him as a

128
00:07:11.970 --> 00:07:13.960
peer and a colleague nowadays, but

129
00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:20.010
He would he would definitely come on. He's so he's so charismatic to he's so

130
00:07:20.010 --> 00:07:22.680
handsome. He's another one of those rich socialists

131
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:27.440
okay, but he was the finance minister of Greece and

132
00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:32.410
Anyway, so he's he's wonderful. He's brilliant. And yes, I do agree with his

133
00:07:32.410 --> 00:07:34.640
analysis that the the new

134
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.080
the new dominion is is

135
00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:40.960
One that is being fought on

136
00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:44.440
The internet one that is being fought through these tech companies

137
00:07:44.440 --> 00:07:48.220
I'll give you one example that actually ties back to my own personal experience

138
00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:48.720
, right?

139
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:54.560
so PayPal and Venmo are American companies and

140
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.640
When I went to Cuba I found out that

141
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:06.220
There are many they keep coming after you every time I talk about Cuba for

142
00:08:06.220 --> 00:08:08.840
Israel. You just keep getting notified. Oh

143
00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:11.680
So I was talking to some people

144
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.160
That we're out there now obviously America has tremendous restrictions over

145
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.600
what you can and can't do in Cuba

146
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.560
These are arbitrary. They're ridiculous. They literally will can send you to

147
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.640
prison for 10 years if you stay in the wrong hotel

148
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.170
Unbelievable stuff, right now. No such restrictions exist if you're Canadian or

149
00:08:30.170 --> 00:08:31.560
if you're Mexican

150
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.990
Or if you're from any other part of the world these countries all have totally

151
00:08:35.990 --> 00:08:37.760
normal relations with Cuba

152
00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:41.470
Of course, they can't really trade with Cuba because they're worried that

153
00:08:41.470 --> 00:08:44.520
America will opt it will deploy secondary sanctions on them

154
00:08:44.520 --> 00:08:46.680
so that obviously

155
00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:49.760
Harms the Cuban economy in a spectacular manner

156
00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:55.070
one of these in city is ways in which American tech companies get to enforce

157
00:08:55.070 --> 00:08:57.120
their arbitrary rules over a

158
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:02.320
Two totally separate independent sovereign nations is when

159
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:06.400
If you were let's say an Italian person, right

160
00:09:06.400 --> 00:09:10.780
Sending your Swiss friend money and you wrote

161
00:09:10.780 --> 00:09:15.120
Cuba Libre because you you know when and you got the Cuba Libre drink, right?

162
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.520
And you wrote that in your Venmo payment. They shut down your account

163
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.080
This is an American company that gets to

164
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:28.920
To impose these arbitrary restrictions that are silly on

165
00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:34.920
The entire world that uses these these American tech companies

166
00:09:34.920 --> 00:09:38.820
And if there's no European alternative then there's no European sovereignty

167
00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:42.120
there, right? If you're on American internet if you're using

168
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.960
American companies and and

169
00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:49.490
They've provided a lot of of new liberties for you a lot of opportunities for

170
00:09:49.490 --> 00:09:49.800
you

171
00:09:49.800 --> 00:09:51.800
You know like YouTube is another one, right?

172
00:09:51.800 --> 00:09:57.600
Then then in the interim you think oh, it's fine, you know where I'm just I'm

173
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:58.280
just

174
00:09:58.280 --> 00:10:02.310
Making YouTube videos is whatever it's the end of the day. It's not a big deal,

175
00:10:02.310 --> 00:10:03.000
but you're actually

176
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.400
Generating value for America. So for these other countries

177
00:10:07.400 --> 00:10:12.190
They don't have an alternative. They've never designed an alternative so they

178
00:10:12.190 --> 00:10:14.280
have this over reliance on American companies

179
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:18.490
Sometimes that can lead to these arbitrary restrictions that I just mentioned

180
00:10:18.490 --> 00:10:21.280
and in other instances are I guess the most nefarious?

181
00:10:21.280 --> 00:10:26.960
The way is that it's it's a bunch of American capitalists that are making money

182
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.760
off of your labor off of your output off of

183
00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:33.010
What you are doing and that's part of the reason why you know a lot of these

184
00:10:33.010 --> 00:10:36.480
other countries due to national security concerns initially

185
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.980
Have developed alternatives. I mean in China. I went there all the all the

186
00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:42.760
applications are Chinese
