What the consumer sees and hears is not an image of reality, but what the people in power are injecting into the informaton space. I am hopeful that Trump and Trumpism will lose the 'battle for hearts and minds' quite soon. Most people would prefer a wprld where peace and prosperity are the goals and the norm ... rather than the alternative where 'me and my prosperity and power' is the driving force in the society. In the modern world, there is quite significant progress towards a 'better world' among 'ordinary people' in most every country. At the same time, the people wo are at the 'top' of the socio-economic' pyramid re extracted value from the economic system as never beforee for their own benefit and agendas. The 'tech world' is full of these people. The top 100 richest people in the United States and the tech economy are enabling a failed future for the United States. They need to be called out. am not against mobilising financial and other resources to address important issues ... but I don't see much value in ???????????????? INCOMPLETE Peter Burgess Transcript 0:00 this has been a terrible Sunday for Donald Trump but frankly for the entire United States as we're seeing the ramifications of Donald Trump's military strikes in Iran where he and Netanyahu essentially went it alone we're learning that the Fordo nuclear site was not even entirely destroyed it appears to have been damaged but again not entirely destroyed which was the central mission which does not seem to have been a success we're also now learning that uh um here's the response from uh Iran's uh ministers america must receive a response for their aggression this was on a call between Iran's top leaders uh and France the United States is now ordering family and non-emergency govern government personnel uh to leave Lebanon immediately uh our uh top threat assessment within the United States 1:01 government is that the United States now faces a heightened terrorism threat as uh a result the Iranian foreign minister Araguchi is planning on visiting Moscow uh on Monday to meet with Vladimir Putin uh this was reported by NBC first he said he plans to travel to Moscow on Monday uh to meet with Putin to discuss how they can uh be jointly responding uh to uh the United States attack on the nuclear sites china has issued a statement strongly condemning the United States attacks on Iran and bombing of nuclear facilities uh the actions of the US seriously violate the purposes and principles of the UN charter and international law uh that's what China put out in a statement um it was originally reported also that Iran's parliament has approved the closing of the Hormuz Strait that's where all of 2:02 the oil tankers have to pass through when they're traveling with all of the oil all of it from the Middle East you shut down the hormones straight the straight of hormones and oil becomes essentially inaccessible and unaffordable uh in the United States um it was reported that the top security body in Iran is now making the final call after parliament approved it there was then a wrinkle on that that it wasn't a formal approval by the parliament um but they gave unanimous consent uh to shut down the uh strait of Hormuz but the decision now lies with the supreme national council in terms of how they intend to retaliate uh here is a statement formal statement issued by Iran's foreign minister say Argichi says the following last week we were in negotiations with the US when Israel decided to blow up that diplomacy this 3:01 week we held talks with the E3 and EU when the US decided to blow up that diplomacy what conclusion would you draw to Britain and the EU high rep it is Iran which must quote return to the table but how can Iran return to something it never left let alone blew up here's what we're hearing from as well from Russia russia's former uh president and prime minister Medvided put out the following statement what did the Americans achieve with their night strike on three points in Iran critical infrastructure of the nuclear cycle in Iran appears to have suffered little or no damage enrichment of nuclear materials and now we can say directly and future production of nuclear weapons will continue a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their nuclear weapons israel is under attack explosions are thundering people in 4:00 panic the US is now drawn into a new conflict with the prospect of ground operations that's coming from Russia's former uh president and prime minister uh Medvidev um moments ago you had United States Vice President JD Vance he was on the morning shows and he was asked 'What's the difference between uh Donald Trump starting or being embroiled now in a war with Iran versus everything you JD Vance and Donald Trump had been saying before that it's the stupidest thing in the world to do it would take the dumbest person only the stupidest negotiators would ever get into a war in Iran this is part of the neocon establishment.' And here JD Vance this morning says 'I empathize with Americans who were tired of 25 years of foreign entanglements but now we've got Donald Trump who's a genius and before we had stupid presidents so now we have the greatest president but then we had dumb 5:01 presidents.' So that's the difference he he actually used those words basically you can hear him for yourself i paraphrased a little bit but he basically said that so let's play uh that clip and the second thing is Kristen I I I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East i understand the concern but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents and now we have a president who actually knows how to accomplish America's national security objectives so this is not going to be some long drawn out thing we've got in we've done the job of setting their nuclear program back we're going to now work to permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years and that is what the president has set out to do simple i think it's also important that we know some of the other geopolitical ramifications and things that are taking place um it's why the research tools that I use I want to focus on what's left media covering what's right-wing media covering what's 6:00 center media covering because even when stories like this are reported the right-wing media never talks about it confidential brief to the IC International Criminal Courts accuses Russia linked Wagner of promoting atrocities in the West how uh Russian media and right-wing media um is interlin with Russian media and right-wing media here in the United States um as well here's a story that I think is being under reportported how a lot of the top people in the United States military um worked for Palunteer the AI company that's gaining access to all of your personal data and compiling a list of everybody in the United States for Donald Trump meta and Open AI um these corporations remember all those people sitting kind of front row during the inauguration um a lot of the people who work there are now basically at top positions now in the military as well this the research tool that I use so you know because I get asked it all the time I might as well tell you here it's 7:01 called Ground News it's essential for me to see where the bias lies and try to correct for it um if you want to use the research tool that I use go to ground.news/mtn or scan the QR code right there we're going to give our viewers 40% off of Grounder's top tier Vantage plan use the tools I use again it's also subscriberfunded they don't rely on ads that could introduce bias and subscribing supports our indep independent media network as well ground.news/mtn or scan the QR code and get that 40% off as I was noting before that's what JD Vance was saying uh in this morning um here's what Pete Hgsith had to say uh this morning as well he held a press conference earlier and it was just basically praising Donald Trump for everything oh this was the greatest this was the greatest thing ever here's what Hegith had to say i want to give congratulations to our commander-in-chief it was an honor to watch him lead last night and throughout and to our great American warriors on this successful operation 8:02 god bless our troops god bless America and we give glory to God for his providence and continue to ask for his protection he exith was then asked if there's a possibility that Iran North Korea and other forces such as China are now going to join forces uh with Iran and retaliate uh does Iran North Korea China all join forces hegsith's response is to blame former President Biden play this clip iran and North Korea are cooperating on nuclear and missile development do you think there is a possibility that Iran North Korea and other forces such as China will join forces to retaliate against the United States well unfortunately because of the policies under the previous administration we drove those countries together um and 9:04 ultimately uh that creates a challenging environment for this particular operation the focus is on Iran and Iranian nuclear capabilities that's our focus here is to not just say that they can't have but President Trump has said from over 20 years frankly Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and ultimately he decided this is the moment given their stonewalling when direct military action had to be taken to prevent that from happening also during the uh press conference this morning the chairman of the joint chiefs uh uh was asked 'Do you believe that some nuclear ability remains?' And he says that they don't have all that information yet but as we now know the Foro facility does not seem to be fully destroyed um which is a big problem and it seems that the United States government once again lied to us yesterday uh the same way they've always not the Trump has been lying to us and 10:00 when you had Tulsi Gabbard say 90 days ago that Iran was not capable of making a nuclear weapon but anyway here's what the reporter asks do you believe some nuclear ability in Iran remains here's what they say play this clip me um so is regime change off the table Mr secretary and to the chairman um you know you you you said the battle damage assessment is still ongoing but do you believe that some nuclear capability in Iran remains um this mission was not and has not been about regime change uh the president authorized a precision operation to neutralize the threats to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear program and the collective self-defense of our troops and our ally Israel uh thanks for your question i think BDA is is still pending and it would be way too early for me to comment on what may or may not still be there but thanks for the question no so then you have JD Vance and uh Marco Rubio Secretary of 11:03 State Rubio and Vice President Vance they were going on TV and they're pretending like we're not in a war with Iran right now and again just how weak and pathetic do they look i mean y'all took B2 bombers and hit Iran's uh sites you didn't destroy it and now you want to pretend that we're not at war and that it's just a one and done and everything's okay everybody for real this is what they were saying this morning here you have Kristen Welker asking J d vance 'Is the United States now at war with Iran?' And he says 'No.' Well you may want to ask the Iranians what they think here play this clip question Mr vice President is the United States now at war with Iran no Kristen we're not at war with Iran we're at war with Iran's nuclear program and let me just say Kristen that we're incredibly grateful and proud of the American Air Force pilots who did an incredible job last night the the And then Maria Baroma on Fox asks Rubio and 12:01 Rubio says 'No again you may want to ask Iran what they think about that.' Play this clip now at war with Iran no we're not this is not a war against Iran this is This is very simple you know 67 days ago the president of the United States sent the Iranians a letter and it said 'You're not going to have nuclear weapons you're not going to have a militarized nuclear program let's negotiate i want to do this diplomatically i want to do this peacefully.' They play they tried to play him along the way they've played every American president for the last 35 years and you know the president told them 'If we don't get a deal which is what we wanted then I'll have to handle it differently.' And that's what he did last night he handled it differently but that was an Iranian choice we didn't make that choice they did by playing games with Donald Trump they made a huge mistake and President Trump acted last night and I think the world today is safer and and more stable than it was 24 hours ago and a bunch of these countries putting out statements condemning us privately they all agree with us that this needed to be done they got to do what they got to do for you know their own public relations purposes but the 13:02 only people in the world that are unhappy about what happened in Iran last night is the regime in Iran have you So what has Donald Trump been doing well before uh these strikes took place he was at his golf club in Bedminster posing for um posing with thumbs up for the new members um of Bedminster and the family members of Bedminster of new members patriot takes account found this photo there it is a photo surfaced of Trump this weekend wearing his golf clothes at Bedminster after military personnel were being deployed to the Middle East that's how he was uh spending his time there also you have 13:41 Donald Trump posting uh the following this morning great unity in the Republican party perhaps unity like we've never seen before now let's get the great big beautiful bill done our country is great maga exclamation point so he's like 'All right we're done i've 14:00 moved on i moved on to the next topic sure I've lit the whole Middle East on fire joined a war but let's can we talk about the disastrous uh budget bill that's going to take health care away from 15 million Americans now and give trillions of dollars in tax cuts to billionaires and screw over working class and hardworking people and take away food stamps and housing and attack women reproductive rights and uh take away infrastructure jobs yeah I I've moved on i I'm done i'm done talking about it and by the way now as the threat of domestic terrorism of of of terrorism rather in the United States um has increased significantly of course domestic terrorism but terrorism from abroad inside the United States increases this is the guy who's in charge of the counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security um and as Chris Murphy says as our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks this is the person Trump has put to head the counterterrorism a 22-year-old who was working in landscaping and he was a 15:01 grocery clerk but he was a big MAGA fan so he got the job to be the 22-year-old kid got the job to be the top of the head of counter counterterrorism with no prior experience oh also JD Vance admitted um when he was asked when did Trump make the decision to strike JD Vance said no one really knew when we we we no one had any clue he just did it whenever play this clip vice President when did President Trump exactly make this decision and did he coordinate with Israel uh the president honestly Kristen I I don't know that any of us knew exactly when the president made the decision except for the president himself but if if you back up a little bit we engaged in this diplomatic process i think that he decided uh probably by miday that this process was not going anywhere and so he decided to issue some private ultimatums to the Iranians and then eventually of course we decided to 16:00 destroy the Fordo nuclear facility and some of these other facilities ourselves well that's what we're learning this morning we'll keep you posted updated with more information thanks for watching hit subscribe let's get to 6 million subscribers new Midas merch drop check out the latest Pro Democracy sticker packs t-shirts hats sweatshirts and more all at store.mitus.com
