2:24Hi, my name is Mira Patassin.
2:26I'm an author and I'm an activist, and GoFundMe is my go -to platform for
2:32fundraising. The first GoFundMe I did was to raise money for a chapbook or a
2:40collection of poetry and essays and short stories.
2:44So we started a GoFundMe and our goal was $7 ,000.
2:48What I've learned that is so special about GoFundMe is that it's a whole collection
2:53of people offering anything from like $4 to $400.
2:58And each time you get a ping that someone donated, even if it is just
3:02$4, it's so exciting. So if you have a goal and you get there, you
3:06can keep making it bigger and bigger and bigger.
3:08We did go past our goal.
3:10It was amazing. GoFundMe is the world's number one fundraising platform, trusted by over 200
3:15million people. Start your GoFundMe today at GoFundMe .com.
3:19That's GoFundMe .com. GoFundMe .com.
3:24World leaders are absolutely furious at Donald Trump and his regime.
3:28And these world leaders are torching Trump and his regime after a G7 meeting took
3:33place on Friday in France.
3:36At this G7 meeting, Marco Rubio told everybody that we're likely not going to go
3:42back to where we were in the Strait of Hormuz before the war started.
3:46Then some of the ministers at this meeting said, well, what do you mean by
3:50that? And he said, well, we're not expecting it to basically ever reopen to traffic
3:55as usual by the end of the war.
3:57Quote, after this thing ends, one of the immediate challenges we're going to face is
4:02an Iran that may decide that they want to set up a tolling system in
4:06the Strait of Hormuz. Yeah, we know that, Marco Rubio.
4:11They're doing that already right now.
4:13Before this disastrous and catastrophic war started, they weren't controlling the Strait of Hormuz like
4:19that. Ships were able to get in and out, but not anymore.
4:23Not only that, but there is a far more extreme regime from the Islamic Republic
4:28currently controlling Iran. As Abigail Hashanour from Financial Times also writes, according to the S
4:36&P Global, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz right now is down 97 % since
4:42the war started. And yes, Rubio telling journalists that the scenario of Iran continuing to
4:48control it would be a dangerous one to the world.
4:52So what are you doing about it other than creating these situations and then Donald
4:57Trump pretending that he's involved in negotiations with Iran when Iran saying, we're not negotiating
5:03with you. We've given you our non -negotiables.
5:07We're not talking about ballistic missiles.
5:09We're never giving up the Strait of Hormuz.
5:11we want to enrich uranium in the future.
5:14We need full reparations. We need security guarantees that you're not going to attack Iran
5:20or Hezbollah or any of our proxies.
5:23If you don't agree to those things, we don't even want to talk to you.
5:27And then Donald Trump and his regime are like, we're talking, we're having productive conversations.
5:32And then the Iranian leadership are like, there's so much fake news and disinformation coming
5:37from them that literally every single word is a lie.
5:42Now during the, by the way, that's coming from Iran.
5:45And then we know that Donald Trump is lying because we hear every word and
5:49syllable out of the guy's mouth is a lie.
5:51There was actually a screaming match that took place at the G7 between Marco Rubio
5:58and EU's foreign policy chief, Kaha Kalas.
6:02And she stood up to Rubio during this G7 meeting.
6:05And she was basically saying, you promised you were going to be tough against Russia.
6:11You've only gotten weaker and weaker.
6:13We remember Rubio when you were here exactly a year ago and you said you
6:17were going to be tough.
6:18And now you're removing sanctions from Russian oil while Russia's out there targeting the United
6:25States in Iran and your military bases.
6:28Like what in the world are you doing?
6:31Meanwhile, we're hearing from Iran's foreign minister, a rod chief saying Israel hit two of
6:38Iran's largest steel factories yesterday morning, a power plant and a civilian nuclear site among
6:43other infrastructure. Israel claims it acted in coordination with the U S this attack contradicts
6:50Trump claiming that he's extending a deadline for diplomacy.
6:54Iran will exact a heavy price for Israeli and American crimes.
6:59And then throughout the evening last night into the morning, we saw Iran striking Bahrain.
7:05They hit a American military base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
7:10There were 12 injured, two seriously injured Americans.
7:15As of this recording, we also learned on that same base where they have some
7:19of these strato tankers. There were 14 serious injuries in the past week or so
7:25unclear who was injured at this base.
7:28But it is important to note that we also saw over Tel Aviv.
7:33You can see some of these Iranian ballistic missiles and some of their newer cluster
7:38missiles. You can see this happening over Tel Aviv right away.
7:42And one of the things we'd be remiss if we don't mention here, and then
7:46I'll get back to some of the G7 conversations with some of the European allies,
7:50what others are saying in a moment as well.
7:53MBS, the leader of Saudi Arabia, basically put all of his chips, if you will,
8:00into the Trump security umbrella basket, right?
8:04Saudi Arabia went all in giving Jared Kushner's private equity firm money, doing the Trump
8:10Tower this, the Trump that, giving Trump all this money, the Live Golf Tournament.
8:14I mean, all of it.
8:15Believing that Donald Trump was going to protect him and that that alliance was financially
8:20valuable, militarily valuable for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
8:25But as the Guardian points out, MBS, Mohammed bin Salman, has lost the bet on
8:32all of his investments over the last several years.
8:35Eli Gurnamaya, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, explained he financially
8:42invested in Trump and Trump's family and Trump Corporation and Trump White House.
8:48But at the end of the day, the views of the Saudis and the whole
8:52gulf have been sidelined by the wishes of Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel over Saudi Arabia.
9:00Just again, pointing out some of these strikes going out over Bahrain.
9:04Others are claiming a BAPCO refinery complex was struck by Iran.
9:10I want to talk about the leader of Finland, Alexander Stubb.
9:16And Alexander Stubb, kind of always known as being like a more reserved guy, somebody
9:23who doesn't get into it.
9:26He's very, very careful with his language.
9:29He's basically saying that the Iran war now threatens a massive global recession and that
9:36people don't fully appreciate the extent of this massive global recession.
9:40Finland's president, Alexander Stubb, says he believes his friends can cope with what he calls
9:46tough love. One of Europe's great optimists is not hiding his unusually bleak assessment here.
9:53The Iran war, he said, an exclusive interview risks triggering a self -inflicted global recession
10:01that could have far more severe consequences for the economy than the coronavirus pandemic.
10:09And with Ukraine peace talks seemingly indefinitely stalled now as a result of this war
10:16in the Middle East, this unlawful war by Donald Trump, conflicts are now raging in
10:21Europe and the Middle East, and basically the entire world is in a war.
10:25He didn't want to call it a world war yet, but the entire world is
10:29in a war. I want to share with you right now the head of Europe's
10:34central bank, Christine Lagarde, saying that the damage to The global economy at this point
10:41is basically already done. She spoke with The Economist and she says, people don't really
10:46have an idea how bad things are.
10:48She says, with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, with the oil supply shock,
10:54LNG supply shock, helium supply shock, fertilizer supply shock, supply shock, and again, you know,
11:02the helium goes into chip fabricators, right?
11:05And, you know, all this stuff is used, you know, have different uses.
11:10I mean, the LNG, it's used on, you know, a ton of everyday things.
11:14Even if the war ended today, the war's over.
11:18Let's just say that happened, which it's not.
11:20There's nowhere near being brought to an end.
11:23At this stage, the damage has been inflicted and now it's just gonna ripple and
11:30ripple and ripple and ripple on.
11:31That's what's happening. Let me just share with you what she said right here.
11:35Let's play this clip of how she describes it in very grim terms.
11:40Here, play this clip. We are facing a real shock that is probably beyond what
11:47we can imagine at the moment.
11:49I would agree with that.
11:50I mean, I look at financial markets and I think there's some kind of cognitive
11:53dissonance going on. Do you think there is just a sort of blind optimism that
11:58somehow this is going to be over and the world will go back to normal
12:01and people are going to suddenly wake up or will it be a gradual realization
12:05that there are going to be really significant consequences?
12:08Well, maybe they are overly optimistic and determined to stay optimistic in the hope that
12:13the positive scenario will materialize and we will be back to normal in relatively short
12:19time, which is not what the technical experts are telling us in terms of capacity,
12:26extraction, refinery, distribution, because too much has already been damaged and there is no way
12:32that it can be restored in a matter of months.
12:35Most people are actually talking about years.
12:37What I think might also happen, because we've experienced it, is that you understand the
12:43actual consequences gradually as you read through the facts, the supply chain consequences, the kind
12:51of raw materials that is critically important for a particular manufacturing.
12:55I'll give you an example.
12:57Ilium, which transits through the Strait of Hormuz, is critically important for microchips.
13:03Well, unless you figured that out, you're not certain that there will be instant or
13:06very relatively quick consequences on the cost of microchips because of the rarity that will
13:14result from not having available one of the raw materials.
13:17And I think this is a crisis where we are learning almost bit by bit,
13:22day by day, what the actual consequences will be, what countries will be most affected,
13:27what of the commodities will be the most in demand.
13:31So this story is absolutely insane.
13:34Trump is taking a billion dollars in taxpayer money and handing it to a French
13:38energy giant to cancel offshore wind farms.
13:42And instead, boost oil and gas production here in the United States.
13:46Give me a minute to update you on this because it's flying under the radar
13:48and we need to keep climate issues front and center.
13:51Here's what's happening. The Trump administration is paying nearly $1 billion to Total Energies to
13:56walk away from two major offshore wind projects, one off New York and one off
14:01North Carolina. These projects would have powered over 1 million homes with clean energy.
14:06Now they're gone. And what do we get in return?
14:08The company takes that same money and invested into fossil fuels, more oil drilling in
14:12the Gulf, more natural gas exports out of Texas, more gas -powered plants.
14:16So let's be clear about what's happening.
14:18Taxpayer dollars are being used to kill clean energy projects and double down on fossil
14:23fuels, the very thing driving climate change.
14:26Even state leaders right now are calling this outrageous, saying that we're literally paying a
14:30company not to build renewable energy.
14:33And this, of course, comes at a time when global instability is already driving up
14:36oil prices, when experts say investing in renewables actually makes us more secure, not less.
14:42So yeah, this is a really, really big deal.
14:44I wanna hear from you.
14:46Drop a comment right now.
14:47What do you think about using taxpayer money this way?
14:50Should we be investing in clean energy instead of shutting it down?
14:53Let's get this conversation going.
14:55It's so important that you stay loud.
14:56I look forward to reading your comments.
14:58Ben, back to you. Now, the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, said the following.
15:06The Americans, his takeaway from the G7 meeting.
15:10The Americans and the Israelis are getting more deeply entangled in this conflict every single
15:15day. And in my view, they don't have a strategy.
15:19This is not a NATO war.
15:21There would have to be procedures within NATO that are established, processes, and none of
15:28them were followed here. Trump and Netanyahu just went it alone and invaded Iran.
15:34What Trump is doing right now is not de -escalation, Merz explains.
15:40It's not de -escalation. Trying to achieve a peaceful solution is not what he's trying
15:46to do. This is a massive escalation we're seeing with an open outcome.
15:51And then he goes on to say, is regime change really the goal?
15:55Because if that is the goal, I don't believe that they will achieve it.
15:58In Afghanistan, it took 20 years and the regime change was from one MOLA regime
16:04to another. And again, you see...
16:07what uh what rubio is saying you see what um trump is saying they're not
16:12even really talking about regime like we did regime change right they're just like all
16:18right we'll cut some deal with iran where they still control these straight moves and
16:21all of the arab neighbors are like no what do you what are you talking
16:25about right now you got us into this mess i mean you've got like certain
16:29arab nations saying um just end this war right now just stop it like we
16:34need to we need to we need to have closure there are other arab nations
16:38that saying like saudi arabia and others like united arab emirates like united states you
16:43can't leave now if you don't just actually obliterate iran and blow it off the
16:48map we're screwed because iran's stronger than ever right now so you can't abandon us
16:53so they've got these kind of different tension points right here uh taking place and
16:58i'll just show you as well and this is this is you know uh a
17:03fact of this war so now hezbollah is using these fpv model attack drones to
17:10target israeli tanks as well and they're using certain technology as well that don't allow
17:17these drones to be jammed and so iran is sharing their drone technology with their
17:22neighbors and you know as we're seeing in these american military bases that have been
17:27evacuated 13 of them have been basically evacuated the ones that haven't been evacuated are
17:33still coming under attack by iran you know these iranian shahids fpvs and ballistic missiles
17:39and the new cluster munitions are very difficult um are very difficult to stop i
17:45mean rubio told the g7 ministers that the war with iran is likely continue is
17:50likely to continue for another two to four weeks extending beyond earlier expectations from trump
17:57because trump lies about everything but remember what they said with covet like a miracle
18:01it's going to go away bend the curve by easter it's not going to go
18:05away so two to four weeks will become another four weeks and eight weeks and
18:08this thing will continue to drag on and iran says we don't there's nothing for
18:12us to respond to in terms of negotiation with trump we've given our response we've
18:17given our non -negotiables there's nothing else for us to talk about right now so
18:20what are you even saying right here meanwhile let me show you what marco rubio
18:24was saying after this g7 meeting in uh france so he kind of attacks zielinski
18:32and the reporter says so what we're hearing is that the u .s is telling
18:36zielinski that security guarantees depend on withdrawal from donbass and rubio's like that's that's a
18:43lie that's not what we're telling him so the reporter's like so who's telling them
18:47that and then rubio's like well we're telling them that but we're just communicating on
18:51behalf of russia we're just sharing russia's position with ukraine we're just in the middle
18:57hey rubio what do you mean you're just in the middle russia is trying to
19:02kill our troops russia is attacking americans what do you mean you're in the middle
19:06ah you and the reality is is that not only does rubio and trump see
19:11no difference between uh russia and ukraine but clearly trump and maga roots for russia
19:18over ukraine they just had the russian duma right the top russian senate officials were
19:24in capitol hill meeting with the maga republicans in the state department right as trump's
19:28state department is meeting with all of these right -wing pro -putin groups that seek
19:32to destroy the european union europe as trump's trying to prop up orban trump and
19:37his top officials and maga republicans in congress meet with sanctioned duma members like the
19:43russian senators these duma members who are walking around in congress by the way just
19:47so you can see what rubio said here's what rubio said let's play this clip
19:51did the u .s tell zaleski that security guards depend on this drone from donbass
19:56that's a lie and i saw him say that and it's unfortunate he would say
19:59that because he knows that's not true and that's not what he was told what
20:02he was told is the obvious security guarantees are not going to kick in until
20:05there's an end to a war because otherwise you're in you're getting yourself involved in
20:10the war okay what is the security guarantee it is troops that are willing to
20:13step in and secure if you put that in place now that means you're injecting
20:16yourself in the war what he was told very clearly and he should have understood
20:20it is that the security guarantees come only after there is an end to the
20:24war but that was not attached to unless he gives up territory i don't know
20:28why he says these things they're just not true close to this position on donbass
20:33we've told the ukrainian side what the russians are insisting on we're not advocating for
20:37it we've explained it to them it's their choice to make it's not for us
20:40to make for them we've never told them have to take it or leave it
20:43the role we have played is to try to figure out what both sides want
20:47and see if we can bridge the middle ground the decision ultimately is up to
20:50ukraine and they don't want to make they don't want to make certain decisions or
20:53certain concessions then the war keeps going also here is marco rubio on iran saying
20:58that you know iran's going around saying that they control the straight of her moves
21:02we can't let that happen but you know that may be the outcome of all
21:05of this that they control it right now here play this clip we're talking about
21:09this there are some in the iranian regime that are going around saying that they
21:14want to make the straight of her moves tolling thing they want to make it
21:17permanent that's unacceptable the whole world should be outraged by it we're impacted by it
21:22a little bit but the rest of the world is impacted by it a lot
21:25more including many of the countries represented today here at the g7 and so if
21:29those countries are deeply impacted by it all we've said is you guys need to
21:33do something about it we'll help you You guys are going to need to be
21:35ready to do something about it, because when this conflict and when this operation ends,
21:40if the Iranians decide, well, now we control the Straits of Hormuz and you can
21:43only go through here if you pay us and we allow you to, that's not
21:47only is it illegal under international law and maritime law, it's unacceptable.
21:51And that can't be allowed to exist.
21:53And so what we've said is that the countries that are most impacted by that
21:56should be willing to do something about it and we'll help them.
21:59So obviously the Europeans think that this is so utterly weak and pathetic right now.
22:03You had Donald Trump yesterday attacking NATO.
22:08We have the clip of Trump saying, you know, NATO wasn't there for us, so
22:12I'm not going to help NATO ever again.
22:15Let's play this clip. Because we spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on
22:19NATO, hundreds of protecting them.
22:22And we would have always been there for them.
22:24But now, based on their actions, I guess we don't have to be, do we?
22:29Mr. President. That sounds like a breaking story.
22:31Yes, sir. Is that breaking news?
22:33I think we just have breaking news.
22:34But that's the fact. I've been saying that.
22:37Why would we be there for them if they're not there for us?
22:40They weren't there for us.
22:41And then you had Donald Trump saying, and after Iran, I'm going to invade Cuba
22:46next. Cuba, you're next, everybody.
22:49Here, play this clip. Strength.
22:50You wouldn't have to use.
22:51I built this great military.
22:53I said, you'll never have to use it.
22:55But sometimes you have to use it.
22:57And Cuba's next, by the way.
22:58But pretend I didn't say that, please.
23:00Pretend I didn't say that.
23:02Please, please, please, media. Please disregard that statement.
23:07Thank you very much. Cuba, you're next.
23:10Seriously. Meanwhile, the price of Brent crude surging $114 a barrel right now.
23:19American markets are crashing. Inflation is surging.
23:23America is in a jobs recession right now.
23:26And you've got people like Iranians, parliament leader, MB Ghalibov.
23:31He goes, they've spammed. They, the US, have spammed so much fake news, trying to
23:37push energy prices down, that the markets are just numb now.
23:41Keep going. Nobody's buying it anymore.
23:44The real prices will show up anyway.
23:46Powerful, maybe. But smart, not even close.
23:49Burn the fake news card way too early.
23:52Burn the fake news card way too early is what the leader of the Iranian
23:59parliament is saying to the United States publicly.
