Trump's War Against The Iranian Regime Just BLEW UP In His Face

So what you're looking at there is maybe the largest memorial service in the history of humanity.That is for the Grand Ayatollah in Iran.There are reports that 12 million people showed up, and Trump expressed shock.He didn't know that if he bombed their country, that they might rally around the flag.So more on the developments of this story, both the substance of what's happening in Iran.But also, the moron that is Donald Trump and our media who apparently thought, no, if we murder all of their leaders, including the equivalent of their pope, I bet the Iranian people will love us.

0:39

It turns out they didn't, Ana.

0:42

Yes, so the funeral, I should note, also honored the Ayatollah's daughter, daughter -in -law, son -in -law, and 14 -year -old granddaughter, who was also slaughtered by US -Israeli strikes in the opening salvo of the war against Iran, beginning February 28th.Now, it certainly did have a rallying around the flag effect, and you saw it on the streets of Iran over the weekend.And by the way, the ceremonies are continuing into today.you will see large crowds in Iran today as well.But there was one person missing, and that was the new Ayatollah Moshe Bach Khamenei, who did not attend.Now, there is speculation about his injury sustained in some of these US Israeli strikes in the beginning of the war.

1:31

There are also some concerns for his safety if he had shown up to the funeral.So as a result of that, fears that Israel might strike, he didn't attend.

1:47

Now - I'm gonna jump in real quick on that.So we had to wave the Israelis off because they were considering murdering a whole bunch of people at the funeral.

1:58

According to the New York Times reporting, which is -like complimentary toward the Israelis.They usually run cover for the Israelis, so there's no reason to believe that they're lying and they're reporting on that.

2:09

So the Israelis are like, great, a bunch of Iranians are getting together.Can we murder them?And we were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, take it easy.We're trying to get to peace.If you murder the negotiators, you murder their top leaders.Those 12 million will turn into 24 million and 94 million and everyone in the country, let alone the rest of the world.

2:26

So cool it for a second, but Israel's like, damn it.We wanted more murder, but we didn't get it today because America checked us a tiny bit.Sorry, Israel.Don't worry, you'll get to murder all across the world.Anyway, Lebanon, Gaza, West Bank, which you're doing.

2:41

They've been doing that.And in fact, Israel has become such a pariah state that Netanyahu was seen on US cable news over the weekend, defending Israel's honor.And we'll get to that a little later in the show.But let's get back to the funeral and what we know about the crowd.And more importantly, this is the most important angle to this story for the purposes of the United States and the American people.just how easily played Trump was through Mossad.

3:13

BS, okay?So keep that in mind.Now let's get to some more details as reported by the Financial Times.They reported that officials have prepared for what they say could be between 12 million and 15 million visitors across six days, which would make it one of the largest funerals in modern history.The funeral procession will head to the Shia center of Qom and on to Iraq where it will pass through the holy sites of Najaf and Karbala.Now, nearly 2 million trips are made on the Tehran Metro in less than two hours as the funeral procession for the leader began Monday morning, Fars News Agency reported.

3:54

So there are ways of trying to determine just how many people took to the streets in order to honor the Ayatollah and his slain family members.And clearly the numbers are not made up, they're very, very high.And it wasn't difficult to see individuals chanting things like destroy Israel, death to America.You can argue, well, there's such a threat because they're chanting.Well, what would you do if a foreign country came in and killed our political leadership?That would have a rally around the flag effect as well.

4:26

And this is a big departure from what the Western world has been trained to believe about all Iranians being viciously against the Iranian regime.There is a pretty strong base of support for the Iranian regime.The percentage has been stated at either 20 to 30%.It could be a little bit higher.There are those who are against the regime, but many of those people actually showed up to the funeral procession out of curiosity, as was reported by a number of sources, including the New York Times and the FT.Now, the crowd carried red religious flags, which are symbols of revenge for blood.

5:06

Mourners in Imam Hussein Square symbolically hang flags.hung an effigy of US President Donald Trump.And I want to show you a little more of what the scene looked like.What you're looking at right now shows Iranians throwing stones and destroying a billboard featuring Donald Trump as the great Satan in Tehran.And people also carried a long red banner over their heads on which, according to the FT, was written, we will kill Trump in Persian and English.Some chanted death to America and down with Israel.

5:40

Now, they're obviously furious with the United States.Let me give you a quote from one 40 -year -old resident of Iran who also took to the streets and said this in an interview with Reuters.Everyone here has come to avenge the blood of their supreme leader.As our leader has said, we have a blood feud with the United States.Our relations with the United States will never be good.Our relationship with Iran didn't have to be so adversarial, but unfortunately it is because we continue to be allies with Israel, which seeks to be the dominant country in that region of the world.

6:17

And they want the US to fight its wars for them in order to make that goal happen.I wish we weren't enemies with Iran.There's really no need for us to be enemies with Iran, but here we are.Axios, though, quoted Donald Trump as saying that Washington could take all of Iran's leaders out with It's just one shot.Let me give you his exact quote.We are not going to do that because we would have nobody to negotiate with.

6:42

Trump also told Axios that he was surprised.Surprised to see some Iranians crying at the funeral, saying he thought people hated Khamenei.Maybe it's fake tears, he said.

6:52

Jesus Christ.

6:53

So maybe you should stop listening to Mossad.Maybe the Israelis and their special intel that somehow American intelligence agencies don't have the capacity to collect for themselves is inaccurate.Maybe the Israelis convinced you to fight a war for them, thus killing 13 of our soldiers, while IDF soldiers are busy trying to annex land in places like Lebanon, moron.But unfortunately, this is the leader we have here.

Almost everything you see in mainstream media is a lie.So that you have to add on top of Mossad directly talking to Trump and saying, it'll be easy.The Iranians hate the Ayatollah.They hate their own religion.They can't wait to be bombed.I mean, you'd have to be maniacally stupid like Donald Trump to believe that.

7:45

any of that.And I'm not sure that he does.I know that he believes in the bribes that the Adelson family gave him through the campaign contributions that were over $300 million.Endless other ways that the Israelis bribe our officials and blackmail them and threaten them, etc.We know all that.And then on top of that, you have American media going, yeah, 40 ,000 killed in Iran.

8:06

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.When we had verifiable proof in Gaza of literally every name who was killed.You guys, Hamas, I don't know.We can't trust it.The Israelis tell us it's not trustworthy.Then the Israelis make up a number.

8:21

It started with I think 15 ,000, then it was 30 ,000, then it was 40 ,000.I think Shapiro the other day had it at 50 ,000.

8:27

Are you serious?

8:28

42 for sure.So it just keeps going up and up and up.And the New York Times and all the media is like, Yeah, I trust it immediately.I don't need any sourcing.I don't need any evidence.If the Israelis say that Iran killed 40 ,000 people, then I believe it immediately and I will write it as fact in every story without a shred of evidence.

8:52

3 ,000 people were killed, by the way, which is a lot of people.You don't have to embellish, you don't have to exaggerate, you don't have to engage in hyperbole, 3 ,000 people is a lot of people.But to take that and say it was 42 ,000 or 50 ,000, it's just, they're such liars and they have the audacity to claim that you can't trust numbers coming out of Gaza.

9:15

a pool of Israeli propaganda.Almost everything we see is Israeli propaganda.So 3 ,000 is bad enough, just like Anna said.And the Iranian regime does oppress their own citizens in many other ways, right?So we don't need Israeli propaganda to know that I'm not in favor of fundamentalism of any religion.Muslim fundamentalism, or by the way, the disgust

9:40

sick Jewish fundamentalism in the West Bank.And among the settlers and all those terrorists who are constantly murdering Americans as well as Palestinians, Muslims and Christians.And our media goes, no big deal, no big deal.The settlers are saints, the Israelis are saints, etc. I don't need any evidence, they murdered all these people.No, look, and then when you say, you might think in your head, but Cenk, I've seen a bunch of people from Iran on TV and on air, and they all were for the war.Why do you think that's the case, brother?

10:13

There's so many people, Iranians, who are against the war, but they never get on air, cuz they never get invited on air.The only people who are invited on air are Israelis posing as Persians.They're not even Persians.Their family hasn't been there for decade after decade.They don't have any family left there.So they're like, yeah, Bahrainians, who cares?

10:32

Yeah, Israel.And they pretend to be Persians, and they put them all over television.The reality is what you just saw in the video that we started this segment with.Millions upon millions upon millions of people did not enjoy being bombed.This is super obvious.If it wasn't for overwhelming Israeli propaganda, yeah, they love being bombed, they wanna be murdered.

10:55

They want their children to be killed in the elementary school.Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go, let's kill them all, right, right?We'll learn from Iraq.No, our media isn't about learning.It's about serving as Israeli marketing tools.So the reality is.

11:11

Every country that gets bombed rallies around the flag, okay?And who did we kill?We killed the top religious leader of the Shiites, a major sect of one of the two largest religions in the world, with hundreds of millions of people that are his followers.That's the equivalent of killing their Pope.And our media has a bunch of meatheads, also paid by Israel, posing as Pope.going, so what, man?

11:37

They had a chant.America, we get to kill anyone we want on behalf of Israel, okay?Yeah, look, who cares?Yeah, you can say who cares, but they care.The people of Iran care, and you just saw it with your own eyes.Would they care about their own religious leader being murdered?

11:55

Of course they would care.Of course that would make them rally around the flag.But since Israel wants war, all you hear is propaganda for war, and never the reality.So again, you see it with your own eyes.Now the job of the rest of the American media is to say, do not believe your lying eyes.The Iranian people don't like the Grand Ayatollah.

12:16

They love being bombed.They want this war.All of it is a hoax.And the only person so incredibly ignorant enough to believe that is Donald Trump.He's so ignorant, he's ignorant about his ignorance.So he just is, they didn't like their religious leader being killed.

12:34

The Israelis didn't tell me that, and I believed it.Well, that's because you're the dumbest man in the country.And since you were helpful to the Adelsons, you're now our president.

12:47

especially corporate media being far more deferential to the Israeli perspective than reality, for instance.And over the weekend, Fox News made sure to provide their platform to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to comment on a whole host of issues, including the funeral of the Ayatollah.And Netanyahu's cope is pretty hilarious in the next exchange that you're about to watch.Let's take a quick look at that and then we'll discuss.

What is your takeaway from the turnout and the fact that it was attended by Saudi Arabia, Oman, as well as Qatar?

13:25

They sent delegations.Look, Iran is a nation of about 90 million.About 80 % of them hate this regime and would like to see it gone.But you still have quite a few million, a minority, that they can bring to the streets.And what do they shout in the streets?I don't know if you heard this, Brian.

13:44

They were shouting, death to Trump, death to me, of course, but death to Trump.We have to kill Trump, death to America.This is what is the face of this minority that has taken over, hijacked this.This talented people, the Iranian people, the people who fight for freedom have been massacred on the streets for freedom.So I think that if the Iranian people were given a chance, they'd throw these bums out.

14:10

Yeah, I'm sure Israelis would be chanting friendly things if a foreign country came in and bombed an elementary school, killing 168 children, and then also tried to wipe out the leadership in your government, right?Can you imagine how the Israelis would react to that?They would probably drop a nuke, and I'm not exaggerating.

14:30

Of course, so they're like, can you believe they chanted death to our leaders?Bro, you didn't chant it, you actually did it.You murdered their top 49 leaders.But in American media, we've been trained to believe us murdering them is no big deal.They're just Muslims, their lives are totally expendable.And if there were some Christians and Americans there, who cares?

14:50

They're not Israelis.All of your lives are expendable.And then you see this giant liar, and Fox News brings him on a lie cuz Rupert Murdoch is a satanic Zionist.And so he's like, yeah, yeah, the 12 million, the largest ever for a memorial, I wish it wasn't.But memorial service for a human being in the history of the Earth is a minority of Iranians.Don't believe your lying eyes and ears.

15:16

Remember only Israel is telling you the truth.Back to killing them.Can you believe they chanted death to us?Well, what the hell would they chant after you murdered their daughter?49 leaders?So everything on TV is propaganda.

15:29

And as you see here, they're like, no, no, no, don't believe it, back into the war, back into murder, back into death.By the way, one of the reasons we were able to restrain, a very rare case, we were able to restrain the Israelis from bombing the funeral procession is because so many world leaders showed up.

15:45

Yes.

15:45

Including, by the way, you were saying the Armenian leader.

15:47

Armenia, yeah, Armenia is a Christian nation, right?wanted to pay their respects.

15:54

Okay, I'm just gonna tell a quick anecdote here.The local pizza shop run by an Armenian from Lebanon.Okay, a couple of guys from there, last night I'm talking to them.He's like, man, Armenian militia showed up to fight with the Muslims.And he's like, I couldn't believe it, in Lebanon.And he's like, attaboy.

16:10

Okay, so well Israel ironically is uniting the world.

16:15

Israel is 100 % uniting the world.Israel is a threat to world peace.In fact, we don't have world peace right now specifically due to Israel's goals of dominating the Middle East.That's what they want.That's why they're starting all these wars.And later in the show, we're gonna talk about the US press tour that Netanyahu engaged in over the weekend in order to manufacture consent for the future war that we're gonna be fighting on Israel's behalf against Turkey.

16:45

Turkey, as Trump would say.So it's just, it's never enough for them.They want war, they want slaughter, they want Americans to bankroll it, they want American soldiers to fight those wars on their behalf, and we're done.We are done.

17:02

Yeah, last thing.Again, American media is like them chanting something is worse than us actually doing it, or Israel actually doing it.And American media makes you believe that, right?They chanted death to USA, that's an outrage.But you literally killed them, including 170 school kids.Yeah, that's less of a concern, okay?

17:23

The death itself, the murder itself is less of a concern.But the chanting of it, that's a real problem, right?By the way, the same exact trick they pulled here in America.Israel's committing a genocide, no big deal.But somebody on a college campus chanted that the Palestinians should be free.That's a huge deal, big deal.

17:39

You see the misdirection?Constant misdirection.Don't worry what Israel's actually doing and all the deaths and slaughter.Only worry about what people are saying about Israel.That's the real offense.They're offended, they're offended.

Good, good, I'm super glad they're offended.Last thing is, as Ana said earlier, why do you think they are chanting those things?Because of our alliance with Israel, because we keep bombing them on behalf of a different country.If we didn't have an alliance with Israel that forced us into nonstop wars with Iraq, Afghanistan.Afghanistan is a little bit different, Iran, Libya, etc.The Muslim world has no reason to hate America, none.

18:16

We could be incredible allies.But instead, we are forced by our masters to attack all those Muslim countries, to make them super angry at us after we murder all of their leaders and bomb their nations.And by the way, in Iraq, kill hundreds of thousands of people.Then when they get angry back at us, Israel's like, yes, see, hate the Muslims.By the way, I'm so worried about bigotry.Anti -Semitism is my number one concern, but I love it when you're anti -Semitic towards Muslim Arabs.

18:45

You love it, right?Israel spreads that poison of bigotry all across the world.Hate the Muslims, hate the Muslims, kill the Muslims.Can you believe they objected to you killing them?Hate them more, kill them more.So look at that, Israel wound up with more territory.

18:58

But everybody in American media, Hope that nobody looks at a map and sees Israel's territory continuing to grow despite all of your goddamn lies about how they're victims.Hope that nobody ever sees a video coming out of Gaza or Lebanon or Iran.Because if they do, they'll know that everyone in our media is a bunch of liars who work for Israel.So that's their big hope, but their hope is being dashed right now.Cuz the walls are breached, left, right, and middle are going, I have eyes.I saw that funeral.

19:28

I know which side the Iranian people are on.You guys are a bunch of liars.I saw the videos in Gaza.You murdered all those kids.And you want me to say that that's not terrorism?No, that is terrorism.

19:38

And it makes me sick that they make us pay for Israeli terrorism day in, day out.
