We welcome here in the studio journalist Max Blumenthal.
2
He is editor-in-chief of The Grey Zone.
3
Max, great to have you with us.
4
Good to see you.
5
I want to get to the attacks on civilian infrastructure in a moment.
6
But first, you know, listening or looking at some of these social media posts from President Trump, this tirade, this latest tirade against Iran, it's getting increasingly aggressive.
7
Now it's profanity-laden tweets or ex-posts that he's sending out, social media posts.
8
What does this tell you about the mood in the White House and this administration's efforts to take control of this conflict?
9
Well, they've lost control of this conflict.
10
Donald Trump is effectively a hostage of Iran, along with his entire administration.
11
He's surrounded by yes-men.
12
The administration has descended into chaos, because Donald Trump was sold by Benjamin Netanyahu.
13
Remember when he was taking trip after trip to Washington, D.C., shutting down entire highways and Lindsey Graham was basically serving as Netanyahu's advisor on how to reach Trump.
14
Trump was sold on a very easy war and a quick win after a series of decapitation strikes, and Trump was still on this sugar high after Venezuela.
15
And meanwhile, he had figures like Laura Loomer, who enjoys more private time,
16
this far-right influencer with Donald Trump than Trump's own wife, Melania, getting the NSC's top Iran expert, Nate Swanson,
17
fired, who had warned that the Strait of Hormuz would immediately be shut, the global economy would be sent spiraling, and Iran would retaliate with a regional war if it was attacked and these decapitation strikes were carried out.
18
So Trump now has no idea what to do, and he's resorted to terrorist threats and terrorist bombings,
19
and he's discredited himself, not just in the international community, but also among the so-called Iranian diaspora, which believed that help was on the way.
20
CONCERNING THE ISRAELI ROLE IN THIS, I MEAN, THERE'S QUITE A DEBATE GOING ON HERE IN THE UNITED STATES ON HOW INVOLVED ISRAEL WAS IN PERSUADING THE PRESIDENT TO LAUNCH THIS WAR AGAINST IRAN.
21
WE HAD THE RESIGNATION OF JOE KENT, THE PANTITERRORISM CHIEF, WHO CAME OUT AND SAID, LOOK, IT WAS ISRAEL THAT PERSUADED THE PRESIDENT TO LAUNCH THIS WAR.
22
DO YOU THINK THERE IS ENOUGH OF A CONNECTION BEING MADE AMONG AMERICAN PEOPLE OF THE role that Israel played and what the president is doing?
23
Well, it's the American media that refuses to inform the American public about the extent to which this is entirely an Israeli war, with the U.S.
24
military essentially functioning as a proxy for Israeli interests.
25
This was expressed by the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, when he told the Gang of Eight after a Senate briefing that Israel was going to attack Iran and the U.S.
26
simply had to follow it rather than stop it or restrain it.
27
His predecessor, Tony Blinken, said Israel told Obama, we are going to attack, but Obama actually restrained Israel.
28
This follows a long blueprint starting with the inception of Benjamin Netanyahu's career as prime minister, found in the Clean Break document, which expresses the desire for Israel to get the U.S.
29
to attack Iran on its behalf because it doesn't have the military capacity to do so.
30
When you look at the global economic damage, where there are now effectively bread riots in Asia, we could see mass exodus of Gulf countries by the end of spring or summer.
31
This is because of Israel and the Israeli capture of the Trump administration through True top donors, like Miriam Adelson, Donald Trump's top donor is effectively an Israeli proxy.
32
She has funded Marco Rubio's career along with another major Israel donor, Paul Singer, who is funding Donald Trump.
33
Pretty much everyone surrounding Donald Trump has been supported by Israel, and they have been the ones.
34
John Ratcliffe, the CIA director who's known as the Mossad stenographer, being briefed by his Mossad counterpart, David Barnea, on Iran being on the verge of getting nuclear weapons.
35
Susie Wiles, a former advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu's reelection campaign in 2020, is chief of staff controlling access to Donald Trump.
36
Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the chief negotiators, are hardcore Zionist ideologues.
37
Everyone around Trump is representing Israeli interests, and everyone and most everyone in this country opposes this war because they don't understand what the American interest is, and Donald Trump is struggling to explain it.
38
Today he said, well, I wanted to take their oil, but the American public doesn't want me to.
39
Right.
40
We are told, as the bombing continues, that President Trump watches the markets very closely every day to see what they are doing.
41
Is there a sort of pain threshold where he will have to call it off because the markets are sinking so badly?
42
Well, it hasn't hit home in the U.S.
43
because we have such a strong supply of LNG.
44
The U.S.
45
is energy self-sufficient.
46
It's hurting Asia right now.
47
It's hurting North Africa.
48
It's hurting these regions that Donald Trump doesn't necessarily care about.
49
The pain threshold for Donald Trump will be political.
50
It's when he starts to read the midterm polling numbers.
51
And he himself is underwater.
52
For an incumbent president at this stage in his presidency, he is at a historical low point.
53
All he cares about is his own ambitions and his ability to loot the Treasury on behalf of his cronies and his family.
54
And so when he sees that that is imperiled, then I think you're going to start seeing him pull back.
55
And I think one of the biggest indicators for trouble for Donald Trump is that, and we all understood this would take place, those of us who know how Iran's military functions,
56
those of us who know the basics, that they have been unable with their Israeli counterparts to degrade Iran's ballistic missile capacity and its drone production rate, which means that Iran can continue this war through the summer when the U.S.
57
will host the FIFA World Cup, which could be another political disaster for Donald Trump.
58
JOHN YANG, President, And now the president is asking for a huge increase in military spending.
59
For next year, the administration is asking for $1.5 trillion budget for the Pentagon.
60
He's cutting other government programs as well while doing this.
61
I mean, that's that raise that he's asking for is 40 percent.
62
approved by Congress, the United States will spend on military 50 percent more than the next 10 countries combined.
63
Yeah.
64
Actually, Donald Trump announced that in an Easter speech, which the White House deleted, because he said, we need to cut Medicare and Medicaid.
65
We don't need those.
66
That's in the way of us spending $1.5 trillion on our military.
67
The money is not going to the military.
68
that money is going back to contractors.
69
Corrupt contractors are going back to veterans affairs.
70
That money is going back to contractors, corrupt contractors that actually helped donate to Donald Trump.
71
It's going to pay for the administrative affairs of Lockheed Martin and the big five.
72
We're talking about 70% of that budget is just kickbacks to the upper middle class and upper class of this country.
73
And so it's kind of a form, no offense to John Maynard Keynes of military Keynesianism.
74
The big problem also for Donald Trump is Pete Hegseth put forward this $200 billion supplemental to pay for this crazy war that has no clear objectives.
75
The American public doesn't support that.
76
And I think a number of Republican senators might even be forced to oppose that.
77
Remember the uproar over the $40 billion for Ukraine?
78
This is outrageous.
79
MARK SHIELDS, I'm not sure if we've got any questions, but I think it's a great question.
80
Talking of Pete Hegseth, he has forced the resignation or is in fact filed a number of very senior officials at the Pentagon.
81
These include generals.
82
The latest one was General Randy George, who is the Army Chief of Staff.
83
What's behind that purge?
84
Well, one of them was Army Chaplain, the head of the Army Chaplain Corps.
85
And my theory there is that too many conscientious objectors were coming forward and saying, this violates my Christian beliefs, and he was signing off on their conscientious objector status.
86
And I mean, they fired almost as many generals as aircraft that they lost in those 48 hours.
87
So this is a PR disaster.
88
I don't think Pete Hegseth saw it coming.
89
Pete Hegseth is trying to make the life of Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who has seen as kind of a restrainer, hell, because he cannot fire Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.
90
And Randy George was ally of Driscoll and has suggested that Pete Hegseth is waging a dishonorable war in an email to his men,
91
I think there may have been some strong objections raised in private about what was to come,
92
either a ground incursion or an attempt to steal Iran's uranium in a daring and crazy operation, one like the kind we might have just seen take place just south of Isfahan, in which the U.S.
93
lost, I don't know, five or six aircraft, two C-130s.
94
Okay, Max, we are going to have to leave it there.
95
Thanks so much for being with us.
96
Thanks for having me.

이 레슨에 대해

"Max Blumenthal on the Israeli network in the White House"으로 쉐도잉 기법을 사용해 영어를 연습합니다.

매일 15~30분 꾸준히 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹에 대한 자신감이 길러집니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
