Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04The war in Iran is impulsive. It is an absolute mess. It is spiraling out of control. Israel and the United States are starting to realize that regime change is not going to be an option, and so they're looking for off-ramps, or are they? We know Donald Trump is looking for an off-ramp, but what about Beebe? And I have some stunning analysis from a retired U.S. Army Colonel, Lawrence Wilkerson. You will not want to miss this. Listen to this. I come from an administration of George W. Bush and Richard Bruce Cheney that committed war crimes, war crimes that Colin Powell and his lawyer Will Taft and I agonized over in trying to present some message to the American people about them.
0:48This administration has committed more war crimes in the last few days than I think any country since Adolf Hitler committed. And that is an incredible condemnation of this entire process. We have bombed civilians relentlessly. We have bombed a school, we have bombed a hospital, we have struck facilities in the nature of Iran's oil capacity that is now putting black poison all over 10 plus million people. So this guy worked under the George W. Bush administration, the neocons. This guy is a a mindset as to why the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs advised Trump not to do this. But Trump wouldn't listen.
1:42He wouldn't listen to them. As always, he listens to other people other than American intelligence. Continue on. So this is a war with long legs. Trump has completely misinterpreted it. The only one who's interpreted it correctly is Bibi Netanyahu. And I think he's ready to use a nuclear weapon should it become as bad as it looks like it might right now, because Iran has not. OK, you heard it right there. Trump has completely miscalculated this. And Bibi Netanyahu, he has wanted this for 40 years. This is a bizarre obsession. And Israel has nukes. and Israel has a media blackout of how bad everything is getting hit over there.
2:31And this is where we have the weakest American president that has been idiotic enough to take the advice of a war criminal. But think about it. This is Trump's peer. Trump is a war criminal. Again, bombing Gaza, bombing Iran, schools. He doesn't care. So Benjamin Netanyahu, remember when Trump pulled the chair out for him? Just complete American weakness to a war criminal. If we were a country with moral clarity, when Benjamin Netanyahu touched ground here, he would be wearing bracelets and he would be turned over to the ICC. And I think this guy is spot on. This is Colin Powell's former chief of staff.
3:18This guy knows what he's talking about. This is what the Pentagon warned the United States about. And Benjamin Netanyahu, more than likely, he knows the ground troops, what a disaster that's going to be. And Israel has nukes. So remember how crazy that is. So we have smart people in this country. The president simply doesn't listen to them. Instead, he listens to a real estate guy named Steve Whitcoff, who with Lindsey Graham and with Benjamin Netanyahu and Jared Kushner, all tag teamed. The guy whose brain is totally cooked and convinced him to go to war with Iran. Global markets, you know, complete catastrophe.
3:59All of our allies in the region hate our guts now. And here's Steve Whitcoff on TV just yesterday. Play the clip. You see this ending, this war.
4:12I DON'T KNOW, SARAH. I KNOW THIS, THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE WRONG GUY TO GO UP AGAINST. THAT'S WHAT I KNOW. HE IS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THAT GUY? THAT GUY? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO, HE DOESN'T KNOW? HE HAS NO IDEA. THIS IS INSANE. IT IS UTTERLY INSANE. You heard retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson. The army, the military, the Pentagon is full of people that understand the geopolitical problems and tactical issues and long-term implications of doing this shit, who understand the culture. Steve Whitcoff, he doesn't know. He doesn't care. Steve Whitcoff is the guy whose sons are making billions of dollars.
5:04He's making billions of dollars. It's high times. He's hanging out. This is the guy who gets dog walked by Vladimir Putin. That is Trump's top foreign policy guy that he sends around and he can't even handle cable fucking news. So if you don't know what the fuck is going on in Iran, or you don't know why America's involved, Steve Woodcock doesn't know either. So, you know, there you have that. And here we have Lady Graham, who is the psychosis each day. I think he can't get any crazier. And then he gets on TV again. And the Israeli psychosis that this man has is so bizarre. It's so weird. So here's Lindsay broke back mountaining his love for Israel.
5:52Play the clip. All the anti-Semites to all the isolationists, I don't believe. Forget it. I'm not with you. I'm with Israel. I will be with Israel to our dying day. They're the best ally we could hope for. Okay. Number one, I think he's hammered. I think he's completely drunk. I think that is a drunk person on TV. All right. First, right out of the gates. You heard it. number two, what is he talking about? The thing is like, okay, we have allies right now and Israel was our ally. And then when you start realizing that Israel is committing a genocide, of course, we gave them the blank check for it, but also that they keep electing a fascist, right-wing, hard-right criminal as their prime minister.
6:43That's when you get to go, oh, we need to rethink this partnership. We don't think our values are aligned with theirs anymore. And this goes back to democratic administrations, but Lindsey Graham, Senator from South Carolina, nobody in South Carolina, nobody is going to benefit off of Lindsey Graham going on cable news, drunker than a fucking skunk, broke back mountain declaring how much he loves Israel. It's weird. It is not normal. This is a really weird thing. And here he is, Lindsey Graham. Now he's got a bee in his bonnet, this old queen. He's madder than a hornet about Spain, all right? Because Spain has said, no, you can't use our airspace.
7:25You can't use our stuff. You guys are committing war crimes. This is an illegal war. We want no part of it. Spain has shown ironclad moral clarity. Well, Lindsey Graham, who's like this bizarre, drunken war hawk, is mad at Spain. And then he's mad at them because it's going to cause him a problem to go home to South Carolina to explain to South Carolinians that they need to send their sons and daughters his boots on the ground in Iran. This is how insane this man is. Play the clip. Allies step up, get our air bases out of Spain. They're not reliable. WE 'LL MOVE ALL THOSE AIRPLANES TO A COUNTRY THAT WOULD LET US USE THEM WHEN WE'RE THREATENED BY A REGIME LIKE IRAN.
8:07TO OUR FRIENDS IN SPAIN, MAN, YOU HAVE LOST YOUR WAY. I DON'T WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU ANYMORE. I WANT OUR AIRB BASES OUT OF SPAIN INTO A COUNTRY THAT WOULD LET US USE THEM. TO OUR AIRB FRIENDS, I 'VE TRIED TO HELP YOU CONSTRUCT A NEW MIDEAST. YOU NEED TO UP YOUR GAME HERE. I CAN'T GO TO SOUTH CAROLINA AND SAY WE'RE FIGHTING AND YOU WON'T PUBLICLY FIGHT. WHAT YOU'RE DOING BEHIND THE SCENES, THAT HAS TO STOP. the double dealing of the Arab world when it comes to this stuff needs to end. I go back to South Carolina. I'm asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Mideast. What I want you to do in the Mideast, our friends in Saudi Arabia and other places, step forward and say, this is my fight too.
8:44I join America. I'm publicly involved in bringing this regime down. If you don't, you're making a great mistake and you're going to cut off the ability to have a better relationship with the United States. I say this. It's unbelievably rich that this old queen sits there and talks about double dealing. And who knew he was such a fucking narcissist on top of all of the other shit with this guy. I've been telling the Middle East this. I've tried to help you. Do you think that when you go over there that you carry a big stick, Lindsay, you're a laughing stock. Everybody with wifi service has Googled Lindsey Graham ladybugs.
9:23And we all know that the DC escorts that you pay to do gay stuff with have reported that you have all these little moles all over your rectum and that you refer to them. Don't mind those. Those are just my ladybugs. So you think that you can just run around the world and pretend that you're some straight tough guy and that Spain and that these Middle Eastern company countries are gonna take you seriously are you serious like the delusion is just unbelievable and this is what I think every single journalist everywhere every human being if you're on a plane if you're in the airport if you're walking down the street if you're near Washington DC just drop by Congress and say this to Lindsey Graham, everybody unanimously around the globe, especially the Spain, the people in Spain.
10:16I'm calling on the citizens of Spain to say this to Lady Graham every time you see him play the clip. Lindsey, why don't you just admit that you're gay and then people won't blackmail you anymore? Yeah, Lindsey, why don't you admit that you're gay so people won't blackmail you anymore? Why don't you quit double dealing and acting like you're this big MAGA Christian during the day that's all for family values and then fetishize with your ladybugs at night? You diabolical DL fucking disgrace hypocrite. I've had it from top to bottom with this DL demon queen. And speaking of DL demon queens, I want to end this with little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson.
11:05This little prick has the audacity to stand here at this press conference because one of his congressmen in the house constantly is tweeting the most vile Islamophobic shit on the planet. And it's Randy Fine. And recently I'm paraphrasing here. It was something like America shouldn't have Muslims in the country, something that's just so diabolically Islamophobic and bigoted and racist. So they asked a little grinder about this, and this is what he says. Look, I've spoken to those members and all members, as I always do, about our tone and our message and what we say. Look, there's a lot of energy in the country and a lot of popular sentiment that the demand to impose Sharia law in America is a serious problem.
11:58Okay, stop. That is a fucking lie. It is such a lie. Nobody in America wants to institute Sharia law. The radical religious nuts that drive us crazy that we're terrified of are you and Lady Graham and Josh Hawley, who fist pumps and says he's a Christian nationalist. J.D. Vance, all of these nuts. It's you. Pete Hegseth, who thinks rapture prepping and all of this stuff. Ted Cruz, it's another one that scares the shit out of us. Nobody thinks for a second that people want to institute Sharia law in this country. It's just insane. it is Islamophobia, and it tells you everything you need to know.
12:46These guys are losing the Iranian war, and they're losing the propaganda war where everybody just says, oh, we're all supposed to worship Israel. And what Israel, not Jewish people, but the Israel government does, with an assist from the ADL, is they want to demonize all Arabs, every single one of them, all 1 billion plus as the exact same type of person. And it's just simply not the case. They are scapegoating your neighbors, your friends, your fellow citizens, and the religious nuts that you should be most terrified of are these two past DL demon queens that I just covered right here. Lady Graham running around DC with his ladybugs and little Moses Mike grinder Johnson, who has his head so far up Trump's ass, I'm surprised he can even monitor his son's porn use any longer.
13:41All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment, and we'll be back later with more news.
