Iran War Spreading Faster Than We Thought…

Oh, what a wild week. Bit of breaking news to interrupt the intro. Not one, but two wars have broken out since recording. One of Mississippi's editors have been referred to federal authorities and fined over $20,000. The world's elites are resigning and getting arrested left, right, and center as the Epstein situation intensifies. Bill Clinton has become the first ever former US president to be forced to testify in front of Congress. The Pope is asking priests to stop writing sermons using chat GPT. And a new plan for Gaza proposed by FIFA and Trump's Board of Peace is getting major backlash online right now. We're going to be talking about all of that and so much more. So, let's stop the yapping and let's go Okay, guys, we got to start with some major breaking news. It is actually happening. I didn't think that I would be making this video today, but the US and Israel, they have carried out major strikes on Iran. And I'm not going to lie to you guys, this one is different to what we saw last year, or at least anything that I've reported on before. This is not a single operation like we saw last year with those B2 bombers. In fact, in Trump's own words, this is a massive and ongoing operation. He even referred to this as a war. At one point in his 8-minute speech announcing the attacks, he said that American lives may be lost, but that's what happens at war. So, let's break down what's been happening. So, in a joint operation, the US and Israel launched a major military campaign, striking five different cities of Iran, including their capital. The latest videos and images show large amounts of damage, suggesting that many of these missiles that came from the US and uh Israel, did make impact and were not intercepted. We don't have any information though on the number of casualties or the extent of the damage yet. What we do know though is that the residence of Iran's Supreme Leader was hit, in fact, multiple times, and we can see this with satellite imagery, which is reported by the CNN. But there is no word on whether he was inside or not. It is highly unlikely that he wasn't in there because that would be an extreme failure by Iran's intelligence agency. So, probably not. I assume he was in some underground bunker. Now, it didn't stop there because almost immediately after these strikes, Iran was then hit with a major wave of cyber attacks. One of the country's main apps for tracking prayer times was hacked and it started sending Iranian citizens uh notifications like help has arrived and it is the time for reckoning. On top of that, a number of Iran state news broadcasters were hacked and disrupted as well. And as you can imagine, this would almost certainly cause a bunch of confusion amongst the public wanting to know, you know, where the bombs are coming from, what the hell, where, you know, which country is it coming from. But guess what? They couldn't because their news source is down. That would be scary as hell. They also had a major internet blackout. So, I I'm assuming some of the reason for doing this is that it would drive the people of Iran to look for other sources of news potentially outside of the country. Now, here's where things get pretty serious because less than an hour after the news broke that these strikes had actually made impact, Donald Trump then posted about an 8-minute speech saying some hugely significant things. And it was from this speech that we got the indication that this is not going to be a one-day operation. This will be ongoing for the foreseeable future. This looks like war. Trump started off with the history of Iran, that they've been chanting death to America for 47 years. He then said that Iran had missiles that can now reach Europe, which is unsettling as someone who lives in Europe and that they soon too could develop missiles that could hit the US homeland. Now, we stated multiple times, as we've heard before, that Iran can never have nuclear weapons. But unlike times before, it seems that the US now, at least from what we gathered from this speech, have much bigger ambitions. He directly addressed Iran's armed forces, saying, "Lay down your weapons and you will be given full immunity. If you don't, you will face certain death." >> I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity or in the alternative, face certain death. >> He said that they were going to annihilate their navy, destroy their missiles, and raise their missile industry to the ground. He then addressed the Iranian people. And this is where things are truly when I was hearing this I was like damn. He said the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay in your homes. It's going to be very dangerous. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. And when we are finished, take over your government. It is yours to take. And this will probably be your only chance for generations. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. This is your one moment for action. Do not let it pass. You see what I mean? This is not just about Iran having nukes anymore. This is clearly about a regime change in the country. Now, at one point, not only did Trump acknowledge that American lives will be lost and there could be casualties and saying that often happens at war, but he also said about four or five times in this speech to pray for the brave American men and women who are carrying out this operation. Now, Netanyahu also echoed the same sentiment. He said to the people of Israel in the coming days in Operation Roar of the Lion, "We will all be required to have endurance and fortitude." Now, on that note, less than a couple of hours after all of this went down, Iran's response began. Missile strikes from Iran were reported in several Gulf countries, including Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Saudi, and Bahrain. They were obviously trying to, at least from what we know, target US bases. Embassies from multiple countries including the US, UK, and Canada started urging their citizens to take shelter, have a supply of food, water, medication, and other essential items. They asked them to keep their phones charged, monitor the news, let family and friends know how you are, if you're okay. Honestly, pretty doomsday stuff. Explosions were heard in Dubai. Not the kind of thing that you would expect in Dubai. uh you know obviously the world's tallest building Burj Khalif that had to be evacuated after you could literally see missiles being intercepted above the US Navy base the fifth fleet headquarters in Bahrain that was hit by a missile. The country's national communication center confirmed that this key US naval base was subject to a missile attack but they didn't give any information on the extent of that damage and if there were any casualties there. Qatar Airways, Emirates and many other airways suspended flights, you know, because a huge portion of the entire region closed their airspace. And in fact, the UAE immediately after this, they issued a official statement saying that they reserve the right to respond to Iran's missile attacks after one person in Abu Dhabi was killed by falling debris in residential area. The UAE called it a dangerous escalation. So, you're probably wondering, how bad is this? What happens from here? Well, one, not going to lie to you, it's pretty serious. And two, expect this to unfold over the next few days and potentially even weeks. It really depends on how, you know, severe Iran responds to these attacks. You know, even right now, as I'm recording, Iran is launching another wave of missiles towards Israel. And reporters from CNN say that they spoke with a senior official who says that the US has planned an escalating series of strikes with off-ramps along the way. They say each round will be over within a one or two day period with pauses to reset and assess battle damages and obviously giving them that break to be like Iran. You going to lay down your weapons yet? Okay. No, another freaking round. So, I wish this was a bit more of a structured way of telling you what's going down, but this is just all chaos today. Make sure you subscribe because I know a lot of stuff is going to happen over the weekend. you don't want to miss uh early next week's video recapping everything and all of the developments that you're going to be missing from now on. So yeah, see you then. I mean that's if we live to see the day. No, I'm joking. We will be fine. I hope. Moving on. Okay, it is only right to kick off the last video of the week with some of the craziest news of the week. The president and CEO of the World Economic Forum has just resigned after the organization launched an investigation into him for his ties with, you guessed it, Jeffrey Epstein. Ho, it's happening now. That is pretty damn significant for two reasons. The first is because of what the WF is. I mean, it is widely considered as one of the most powerful global organizations in the entire world. I mean countless world leaders, CEOs, ministers, and other elites have come out of their young global leaders programs like Justin Trudeau, Emanuel Macron, and many more. But on top of that, they also gather the world's elites every single year to talk about global issues. So, I mean, there's so many reasons why they are the center of one of the largest conspiracies about how they run the world. I mean, it's kind of crazy to think that their core mission is quote improve the state of the world. That's it. That's their central theme. So for an organization with that kind of mission, you wouldn't expect their founder to have stepped down, this is just in one year, for allegations from whistleblowers of financial and ethical corruption, Claus Schwab. And then their second most senior position, their president and CEO now having to step down because of ties with a known trafficker of children. Now, it's important to stress saying that that neither Bura Gabren, their CEO, or Claus Schwab have been proven of any wrongdoing. They're all just allegations which have caused them to resign. But ultimately, it's not a great look for a powerful organization with such a a cause as to improve the state of the world. Now, the second reason that is so significant is because this week he has joined a pretty long list of people facing consequences or at least repercussions from the latest files of the Epstein variety. Because I need to stress that there's many files nowadays. I mean, where those alien files actually where are the alien files we were speaking about last week? They're still not here. Anyway, back to the point. Let me just rattle off a couple of names because in one week alone, I really need to stress that, not Prince Andrew arrested. Lord Mandelson from the UK, arrested. Bill Gates, as we spoke about in the last episode, apologized and then admitted to two affairs with Russian women. Larry Summers, a pretty notable figure, he said that he would resign yesterday uh because earlier this week, Harvard launched an investigation into his ties with Epstein. Nobel Prize winner and leading molecular biologist Richard Axel. He also announced yesterday that he too was resigning. A legal review has just been ordered into the president of Bard College. Bill and Hillary Clinton, which we'll speak about in a second, have just been forced to testify in front of Congress. And then on top of all of that, today the head of the WF resigned. All of that one week. That's pretty wild. I mean, ultimately what I expect to hear in the comments on this is, you know, are resignations and investigations good enough? Because I mean, we know that real people did horrific things with Epstein. You know, there's one over 1,000 victims labeled and only two people that one was in jail, gone now, and Maxwell, which is still in prison. No one else in prison. Pretty much all of the names that I have mentioned in fact have said that they didn't know about Epstein's crimes and they were just kind of mentioned in passing. Some of them with communication, some of that, you know, you get the point. But here's something I want to test out. A new feature that has just been given to us by YouTube quizzes to make sure that you guys are listening while I'm yapping. Now, I don't know where these quizzes will be on the screen. I don't even know if this is going to work. And if it doesn't, then this is going to be very embarrassing. question. Which world leaders have come out of the WEF's Young Global Leaders program? Let's see if if this works. Moving on. Now, let's get to the Bill and Hillary Clinton testimony in front of Congress because, woo, this is going to be juicy. Now, as I mentioned, this is actually the first time ever a former US president has been forced to testify in front of Congress because, you know, force being the key word, he was actually both of them were hit with a subpoena, which they both refused to testify and then they got hit with a subpoena and they're like, well, fine, I guess we have to. And as of recording, Hillary has actually, you know, done her testimony. Bill will make his appearance today after recording. Yeah, I hear the size. But I mean, even Hillary, come on, guys. That's a huge deal. She is a former first lady, a senator, a secretary of state. She was close to being the president of the United States. But despite the significance of, you know, who she is in the actual testimony as often with these things are, they they know how to weave around it. And point is, she basically said repeatedly that she does not know Epstein. She never met him. She never went to his island. She never had any dinners with him and she denied any kind of association. That's pretty much what we got from the 6-hour proceeding. And I mean, the reason I'm not able to play you any clips of her answering these questions or we, you know, we couldn't watch it in real time is because Congress specifically wanted to keep this a private hearing despite Bill and Hillary Clinton wanting to make it public. She told the press after that she wanted the public to see their answers because they didn't want to have to come out and justify and explain everything they said in the hearing and have to reccharacterize it. Now, the only real noteworthy point about this whole hearing was when a picture of her was taken by a representative Lauren Boowart and then she sent that to conservative commentator Benny Johnson which as you guys heard that's against protocol here. It's a private hearing. There should be no cameras. Now, when this quickly started going viral on social media, they saw it and they had to put the whole thing on pause. But then they resumed it and you know, the rest is history. But here's the thing. Hillary was never the main person that we all wanted to hear from, was it? It was Bill, you know, the man that has been seen in pictures with him, that is being on his private jet. You know, he can't sit there and say what Hillary said and say, "I never, you know, met him. I never went on his jet." We've got pictures, brother. So his testimony will certainly be more interesting. So make sure you are subscribed to the channel because on Tuesday when we run through it all, you won't miss it. You don't want to have to rely on YouTube to serve you up the recommendations. You want to be bam, ready to watch this. But to make sure that you are listening, quiz time. How many hours did Hillary Clinton's proceeding last right there? I imagine it will be. Moving on. Also this week and actually overnight a new war was declared. Sound sounds about right. 26. Quote, "Our cup of patience has overflowed. Now it is open war between us and you." Now, that was posted by Pakistan's defense minister at 3:00 a.m. after their military carried out a significant wave of strikes against the country of Afghanistan, including on their capital city of Kabul and also government facilities. Now, that is a serious escalation. You see, last year the bordering countries agreed to a ceasefire with NATO peacekeeping troops even being withdrawn. People thought maybe this is it. But today that all changed after Pakistan's defense minister accused the Taliban of aggression, gathering all the terrorists of the world in Afghanistan and depriving their own people of basic human rights. He said in a very strong worded tweet, "Our cup of patience is overflowed. Now it is open war between us and you. We are your neighbors. We know your ins and outs. Alawakba." Yeah, another day, another war. Now it's important to note that both sides accuse each other of starting this. Both sides are claiming different fatalities so far. You know Pakistan said that they killed about 120 people in uh Afghanistan. Also their militaries are not exactly equal. Pakistan is actually one of the few countries in the world uh and this is probably an important point to remember that has nuclear weapons. They also consistently rank in the world's top 15 in terms of military strength. And while Afghanistan do lack the same military equipment, they do have extensive experience in guerrilla warfare. And on top of that, their former president said on X, the Afghans will defend their beloved homeland with complete unity in all circumstances. So, as things develop with this one, which they almost certainly will, I'll keep you guys updated. But quiz time. In 2026, which is the second most powerful military in the world? Hm. And whatever answer you're clicking right now, that is according to Global Fire, leading annual global defense review since 2005. I actually didn't get this one. Moving on. Okay. And then in a complete switch up of pace and tone, we got to talk about some Mr. Beast news because this one is very interesting. One of his editors is in hot water for allegedly insider trading and now he's actually been suspended for it. So the prediction market Khi uh which is very similar to poly market it's it's one of those that you can like bet on almost anything like oh is the sun going to rise today? No [laughter] [snorts] I mean you could bet on that and in 2026 that is probably one that has the least probability but you'd bet on more like you know chance. Will Dylan Page whip someone a sacrificial lamb in his upcoming video for example. Will Iran go to war with America next week? You get the point. Anyway, Kelshi recently announced that they opened about 200 investigations into potential violations of its insider trading rules over the past year. And one of the accused is Autumn Capture, who is a video editor who works for Mr. Beast. Now, Kelshi believed that he placed bets on material non-public information he obtained by working behind the scenes. And this is only a couple of months between August and September. Now, essentially, he made bets on what he allegedly knew was going to happen in Mr. Be's video because he was editing them. It's believed that he traded about $4,000 on things like what would Mr. Be say in his video and he earned about 5,000 from it. So, doesn't seem like a great profit. Kelshi's surveillance system said that they had flags that captures trading winds were near perfect and statistically anomalous. Damn, that's that's pretty crazy. What if you're just lucky as huh? Now, here's the crazy part. You know, he said that he got about 5,000 from trading about 4,000. Bro got fined 20,000. Brother is in the minus now. They also hit him with a 2-year suspension and even reported him to federal authorities. And to make it even worse, on top of the $20,000 bill that he's not now got to pay, he might even lose his job. A spokesperson for Beast Industries responded saying that it has no tolerance for this behavior and they are now launching their own investigation. And of course, they suspended him in the meantime. [snorts] Now, talking about this, Alex, don't you get any ideas? All right. I don't I don't want to see you suddenly get so rich that that you quit. All right. We need to keep you poor. >> [laughter] >> So that you had that then you start working forever. No, even if Alex was a millionaire, he he'd still be he'd still be working for the Empire because that's what a true warrior and secretary general does. He's just a general, I believe. Anyway, let's stop the yapping. Now, we're not done talking about Mr. because he actually said something very interesting which I gave a big hell yeah to when I watched it in a recent podcast he said that once enough airlines have Starlink he will only book flights that come with it play clip Alex >> once enough of them get it I will only book flights exclusively on planes with Starling like I don't care like oh this has an extra 1 hour layover I don't give a they're starling >> now I couldn't have agreed more with this because I cannot tell you how many times I have gone got on a longass flight and missed breaking news or I've had to postpone a YouTube episode because I'm stuck in the sky for like 15 hours. Imagine I could use that 15 hours to to do breaking news to record I could probably record an entire video every all 250 passengers will be up to date with their latest breaking news if I could record on the plane or at least research on the plane. Huh? And you can do that with Starlink. He said perfect signal no matter what. So yeah, god damn it. I agreed with that one and I want you guys to agree as well because with enough pressure we can do it. Moving. Actually, quiz time. Sorry, we will not forget about that. Which was the first airline in the world to have first adopted Starlink on board? H good one. Moving on. Also talking about futuristic technology. If you've ever eaten at Burger King, you might start noticing a big difference. So, the company has just announced this week that they are going to be testing out a new AI powered headset that can track things like how friendly employees are to you. Ideas for how I can track Alex's behavior coming soon. And it's not just that because the AP reports that employees in a whopping 500 US locations will be wearing these headsets which will have basically an AI voice talking to them. And its name is Patty. It's a pretty damn good name when you think about it. [laughter] But in numerical they'll call it Patty. Patty, not Patty. Oh, hello Patty. Patty. Hm. Which one do I like more? Patty. Patty. Patty. Quiz. Which is the best version? Patty or Patty. I have to put a wrong answer. So, I choose what happens. Now, Patty will be hooked up to pretty much all, you know, data from the whole restaurant operation. So, for example, they'll be able to tell them things like if the the Diet Coke machine is out of fluid, what the [laughter] Soda machine is out of Diet Coke. So, for example, it'll be able to tell them things like the soda machine is out of Diet Coke. It'll be able to notify a manager if they're running low on specific inventory. It can read out receipts in your ear. It can give alerts if a customer scans a QR code in the bathroom to say, "You need to come and clean this." >> Corn casserole. >> Not literal. >> Corn casserole. >> I mean, I guess literal >> corn casserole. >> Employees can ask Patty how to make certain meals on the menu or tell it to remove specific items from the menu if they've run out in the kitchen. But then probably the most controversial feature that it has is it will be able to track employees uh if they say words like you're welcome, please, and thank you. Now, obviously this triggers fears that AI could quickly be used in the workplace as you know this digital boss looking over your shoulder watching every move you make throughout the entire day. Yeah, that sounds like the worst thing in the world. although I would quickly use it on Alex. But uh Burger King was quick to come out and deny this and just said to the AP, "The intent is to use Patty as a coaching tool and not a tracker of individual employees." But then you know corporations of course they say this kind of stuff that sounds very clean. So [sighs] what do you guys think? Is this a good or bad use of AI in the workplace? That that's not a quiz. That's you guys debate that in the comments. Moving on. Talking about controversies though. Good lord, this plan for the future of Gaza has people outraged. So FIFA and Trump's new Board of Peace signed a landmark partnership agreement pledging to build football facilities in postconlict areas. Now in the presentation, they showed this AI generated video which really brought this plan to life. In an unspecified timeline, they pledged to build 50 mini football pitches near schools and residential areas in Gaza, as well as create five full-size pitches, a state-of-the-art FIFA academy, and a new 20,000 seat national stadium. And the cost of all of that will be around $75 million. Now, FIFA's president, Infantino, said that football brings the world together. And FIFA wants as many people as possible around the world to participate in our game and benefit from the opportunities it creates. As you'd imagine, this created two main reactions online. Now, the first is anger, fury. In fact, many people said that the real things that Gaza need rebuilt right now are things like schools, hospitals, homes, and countless other essential infrastructure that was destroyed, I guess in part, by US supplied weapons. And also, as you can imagine, the AI video created a lot of backlash because it had scenes of, you know, kids playing alongside rubble, which many felt was out of touch. But then on the other side, there were people that actually liked this idea. They argued that any kind of investment into rebuilding Gaza right now is needed. They said that what FIFA and Trump's border peace are trying to achieve is still far greater than what other organizations have offered to do in the region. So, what do you guys think? Do you think this is a good initiative or just a bad idea? Let me know your thoughts, but for now, moving on. Also, oh man, I I really this next story I felt in my soul. We are so cooked. So, in a recent meeting, Pope Leo, he asked priests to stop writing sermons using chat GPT. Told you, man. This is the leader of 1.3 billion Catholics around the world. And for him to announce it like this, it makes you wonder how widespread is this issue. So in a world's first, he urged priests to quote resist the temptation of using artificial intelligence when writing sermons because AI will never be able to share faith. And if you think about it, for the people listening to these sermons, I guess they are expecting words from someone that have dedicated their entire lives to study the word of God, to build a connection. And so the words that they I guess are expecting to hear from them are of a another level, like a spiritual escalation, if you will. But in reality, they're hearing words from data from AI, that seems pretty wild. And if you think about it even one step further, if politicians are now using AI to write speeches, if governments are using AI to write laws, if people like therapists are using it to respond to patients, teachers using it to teach children, and now even priests to spread the word of God. The question is in 5 years time, how much of the world's thought will even be human? And will that be a good or bad thing? Is does there need to be less human thought? Just replace it with machines because they're much more rational and reasonable. I don't I don't think that one's a quiz either. I think that one's a debate in the comments. Let me know your thoughts. Moving on. And then to wrap up today's video, guys, what the hell did I just watch? This is This is like real life Anaconda. I haven't even watched the movie, but I know about it. This video was taken in Bali where obviously, as you can see, it flooded and then casually this freaking huge ass python is just swimming down the streets. What the hell? I'VE BEEN TO BALI. I DIDN'T know they had snakes like this. God damn. Yeah, sorry. That was just a video that I had to It's Is it newsworthy? Yes. Quiz. Yes. [laughter] I feel like I'm just going to chuck quizzes in there to enforce my rule. What I say goes because I choose what's right and wrong. But yeah, it it was a crazy video. No one can deny that. And last quiz, how much did you enjoy today's video? Thanks, [laughter] guys. Thanks. I appreciate that. And in return, I wish thee a fantastic weekend. You too, Alex. Have a great Saturday and I will see you guys in the new and improved schedule of Tuesday. [music] Franken. Yeah. This doesn't have the velocity of the whip, does it? It's kind of like slow motion. I mean, IT'S GOT A GOOD CRACK. WOO! strike fear in the hearts of many. Secret message for those have stayed to the end. Um, a whip a the best whip that we have ever seen in our lives is on the way to us soon. Have a great weekend. Love you. Bye.
