[00:00:00] silent cradle, by
[00:00:01] a tiny piece of clothing that will never be worn, by
[00:00:05] room where a baby's cries will never be heard
[00:00:08] again. that is why the story of
[00:00:11] in Muhammad Ali is more than the
[00:00:13] in story of one victim, it forces
[00:00:16] a simple question: when war reaches baby's room,
[00:00:19] what happens to our ideas of security, humanity and the
[00:00:23] of value of human life. for many Iranians, muhammad ali's name
[00:00:27] carries even deeper meaning. in sha. Islam tradition, the
[00:00:30] name aliaskar recalls the youngest son of Imam Hussein
[00:00:34] a baby who became one
[00:00:36] of the most powerful symbols of
[00:00:38] a innocence and suffering
[00:00:39] in during the tragedy of Karbala,
[00:00:42] of centuries separate Aliasgar from Mohammad Ali, different
[00:00:45] wars, different times, different places, but the
[00:00:49] image is painfully familiar. A defenceless child
[00:00:53] caught in violence,
[00:00:54] of he did not choose and could never
[00:00:56] of understand. For many Iranians, Muhammad Ali became modern.
[00:01:00] reminder of that same innocence, a child who had not even had the
[00:01:04] chance to discover what life was before war took it
[00:01:07] away. he was born into war and he died in it. his entire
[00:01:11] life lasted 20 days. that is why his name should never
[00:01:14] disappear until list of casualties. for his memory to
[00:01:18] survive, his story must be told for years to come. 20
[00:01:22] days of life, lifetime of
[00:01:24] remembrance.
[00:01:34] of
[00:02:04] a
[00:02:15] Recuerdan ustedes, can you remember any US president who was as
[00:02:19] of openly piradical as Donald Trump himself describes
[00:02:22] himself? Strap today's
[00:02:29] of gringo. in start as we
[00:03:00] a king, he feels entitled to steal, and he constantly
[00:03:03] threatens different countries even with invasion. That's the
[00:03:07] subject.
[00:03:11] Es tema que tratamos en esta
[00:03:13] ocasión.
[00:03:20] Never before has the US government been so honest when it talks
[00:03:23] of about stealing. Trump has ushered in kind of pirate-like
[00:03:27] cynical, shameless honesty.
[00:03:31] "but now I love Venezuela, I love it, we're doing great, Venezuela, I love
[00:03:35] it, we're doing great in Venezuela, we take it getting along great with
[00:03:39] them, billions and billions of barrels of
[00:03:42] oil is coming out of Venezuela, 48 minute war lasted
[00:03:46] 48 minutes, and we paid for the war with what we've taken
[00:03:50] out many, many, many times, we
[00:03:52] have you heard that before, you haven't heard that before, it's the old fashion way, right,
[00:03:56] it's the old fashion way, but that's the least of it. Let's
[00:04:00] listen to how he tells the story so we can understand
[00:04:03] what awaits us, stealing the entire continent. The
[00:04:07] Trump administration says that ever since the United States was
[00:04:10] founded, they have had power here from
[00:04:12] in north to south all the way to
[00:04:15] of Patagonia. America was
[00:04:19] of concerned
[00:04:19] of the involvement of foreign empires in the new world. Now America
[00:04:23] sense an opportunity to establish new order. The
[00:04:27] in American in of continents by the free and independent conditions. which they
[00:04:31] have assumed and maintained, are hencef not to be
[00:04:34] considered as subjects for future colonization by any
[00:04:38] European powers. the
[00:04:41] doctrine served as defensive shield while America expanded
[00:04:45] westward. Rosevelt intervened and declared if a Latin
[00:04:49] American nation fell into chaos or instability, the
[00:04:52] US would step it and manage. fast forward to the modern era
[00:04:56] where the doctrine has found its latest champion in President Trump.
[00:05:00] This calculated maneuver delivered
[00:05:02] a resident signal across the hemisphere. The American dominance
[00:05:06] in the western hemisphere will never be questioned
[00:05:10] of again.
[00:05:49] very much, this is
[00:05:50] Thank you undoubtedly crucial issue because a way the United States used to try
[00:05:54] to hide things to cover up its excuses and lies, not that
[00:05:58] they don't lie now, but this man is simply taken off the
[00:06:02] mask, he openly describes himself as a pirate and makes no
[00:06:06] secret of his agenda of stealing, plundering and so on. How do you
[00:06:10] see this in the context of Latin America?
[00:06:42] history books, what are they going to look like?
[00:06:46] cartooning is one the great tools historians
[00:06:49] use. Donald Trump himself, the white house recently used a
[00:06:53] five minute segment illustrated with historical
[00:06:56] cartoons, so I wonder how he's going to look after a
[00:07:00] period in which we had several presidents who
[00:07:03] contributed to the ideals of democracy, justice and
[00:07:07] freedom in their proper sense and without the makeup,
[00:07:10] Roosevelt, say Kennedy. and there are many others in US
[00:07:14] history, and then you go through this period of clown, a
[00:07:18] criminal and a
[00:07:18] thief,
[00:07:23] and something
[00:07:25] criminal, that is being replicated in Latin America, in Colombia, in
[00:07:28] Argentina, hey, what's the best caricature you have ever done of
[00:07:32] Donald Trump in your opinion? Let's see if you can send it to us and we'll put
[00:07:36] it on, one where he is showing his b with the words
[00:07:40] epistain was here and his pointing: his pants are
[00:07:44] falling down and his pointing trying to distract
[00:07:47] the world, the killers are over there, pointing in the
[00:07:51] other direction, that's one, and another one, we are used an oil
[00:07:55] tank a barrel of oil with the colors of venezuela trying
[00:07:59] to stain the epistain files, basically everything is
[00:08:02] about this, distraction, distraction, distraction,
[00:08:06] básicamente, distracción, ya que mencionas venezuela
[00:08:10] recientemente dijo que... Venezuela recently he
[00:08:13] said that in 48 minutes of war with Venezuela, kidnapping
[00:08:17] Maduro and so on, they had practically recovered financially what they
[00:08:21] had spent on the isn't
[00:08:22] wars,
[00:08:24] it?
[00:08:25] quite statement, a Of
[00:08:29] course, Rubaine, you did me the favor of inviting me last
[00:08:33] year when right around those days the US government had
[00:08:36] begun bombing the boats and we were talking about whether it would take things
[00:08:40] a step further. exactly, and I remember that we
[00:08:44] said here, and I personally said that I assumed it wasn't going
[00:08:48] to happen. In other words, we saw that they were operating in
[00:08:52] international waters and that there wasn't going to be any greater
[00:08:56] intervention. And then, look, in January we saw the
[00:08:59] kidnapping of Nicholas Maduro. In other words, he did take it
[00:09:03] a step further, and with all the boasting President Trump has been
[00:09:07] doing, one would assume that he wouldn't actually do it, but then we
[00:09:11] see that he does. and just few days ago they announced that there would be
[00:09:15] joint operations in some countries against organized crime and
[00:09:19] this constant let's say threat that they want to come and carry
[00:09:22] out operations in Mexico and so on that
[00:09:26] step. In other words, he's in that step. In other words, he's
[00:09:30] someone who talks, who says things, and sometimes you
[00:09:33] think that what he's saying is outrageous. But then we see
[00:09:37] that they really are carrying out these kinds of actions. He really
[00:09:41] is going further. It sounds like a joke when he says, it's
[00:09:45] no longer the Gulf of Mexico, it's the Gulf of America, we
[00:09:48] were going after Greenland. One would assume it's just a show of
[00:09:52] Bravado, he's just boasting, but then we see that he
[00:09:56] really is taking things a step
[00:09:58] further. It's done
[00:10:01] an absolutely cynical way, and he is
[00:10:05] going back to the concept of department of war, which had
[00:10:09] previously been called the department of war, not the department. defense,
[00:10:13] this comes alongside series of actions in which he said, I'm going
[00:10:17] to prevent wars, I'm going to be a president of peace, he even
[00:10:21] dreamed of winning the Nobel peace prize, and he has done exactly the...
[00:10:25] opposite right, and he is now riding a process, a war
[00:10:28] machine that is obviously worrying many of us here in Mexico,
[00:10:32] Mero. Do you think Donald Trump and his war team could eventually
[00:10:36] intervene a non-diplomatic way, using the pretext of
[00:10:40] narcoterrorism?
[00:10:46] Well, I seriously doubt it, despite the evidence, as my friend rightly
[00:10:50] mentioned, I think he would get himself into a much more serious
[00:10:53] problem, because... President Shane Bow's credibility and prestige
[00:10:57] are very different from what Nicolas Maduro's were in
[00:11:01] certain respects, so this would amount to a declaration of war
[00:11:05] which would not be in the interests the United States or the US
[00:11:08] economy, despite the evidence that Donald Trump has spent his
[00:11:12] time harming the very same US economy, but that I
[00:11:16] believe would be fatal blow. I'm actually looking forward to
[00:11:19] November, because the evidence also suggests that things are not going
[00:11:23] to go well for him. and perhaps that's why he's becoming much
[00:11:27] more belligerant, lashing out, committing many more crimes a
[00:11:31] faster pace, and well that's the only thing I see as
[00:11:35] source of hope. these midterm elections and despite the threats of a
[00:11:39] coup of blowing everything up, I do have some hope that
[00:11:42] things could be brought down and notch, that things could calm down a
[00:11:46] little in that scenario,
[00:11:50] sí, una pregunta para ambos, pero ya que estás tomando la
[00:11:52] palabra. got the floor, why
[00:11:56] do
[00:11:56] you think they changed that narrative? mean, take
[00:12:00] president Wilson in World War II, as he said, the war to
[00:12:04] end all wars, then there was the whole pretext of bringing
[00:12:07] democracy, the sharad surrounding the Iraq war, obviously,
[00:12:11] but later they changed the narrative until they got to weapons of mass
[00:12:15] destruction. Why abandon all that discourse of
[00:12:18] excuses and pretexts? Ronald Reagan, for example, when he said that
[00:12:22] Nicaragua was a threat to US National.
[00:12:43] There is still a segment the population, although
[00:12:45] it is getting smaller that clings to this idea of manifest
[00:12:49] destiny from the 19th century, that it was the
[00:12:53] destiny the American people.
[00:13:14] It's very interesting what you were saying about having to see what happens in
[00:13:18] November with the elections, because in reality he has been
[00:13:22] losing lot of supporters and lot of...
[00:13:33] Trump was betting on that kind of rhetoric, let's build the wall,
[00:13:37] the Mexicans are going to pay for it, and they're sending us the bad
[00:13:41] ombrees. Anyway, President Trump has always had
[00:13:45] that kind of rhetoric and a significant segment the
[00:13:48] population bought into it, then they realized that in
[00:13:52] reality those part of that hardest.
[00:14:25] is lens: what Netanyahu is doing, the way he has complete
[00:14:28] control over Donald Trump over the epistain affair, which
[00:14:32] has been more than proven that he was massad agent, that he
[00:14:36] was specifically sent to exploit the basist instincts
[00:14:40] of this enormously powerful entity in every sphere the
[00:14:44] world, not just in the United States. Well, they have this need to
[00:14:48] expand throughout the world. We are already seeing it in Latin America
[00:14:52] a very warring way. We're seeing it in Mexico.
[00:15:25] once again the buying there is once again the buying and selling of
[00:15:28] people's loyalties, the buying and selling of actual
[00:15:32] community, which has already deteriorated considerably
[00:15:36] over time. find it. very worrying, i see this massive media
[00:15:40] onslot, they have tremendous economic power, they
[00:15:43] control the most important media outlets in the world, they have
[00:15:47] hollywood, mean they have social media, we are a very
[00:15:51] asymmetric cultural
[00:15:52] battle,
[00:15:57] you have peter teel and palanteer now living in argentina and there is
[00:16:01] a threat concerning patagonia, many people want to call it a
[00:16:05] conspiracy theory, but here in mexico we already have the city of
[00:16:08] latora which we're trying to understand and Israeli soldiers who have
[00:16:12] killed people in Gaza and who are now in chapas
[00:16:16] teaching values to children through painting and language classes
[00:16:20] right? it's good that you brought up this issue. do you see danger from
[00:16:24] zionism in mexico on the same level as we're seeing with the current
[00:16:27] colombian president who brought a rabby to his inauguration where
[00:16:31] people were to his inauguration where people were shouting long live
[00:16:35] colombia?
[00:16:37] It's crystal
[00:16:41] clear to me, well I see it very clearly and I think many
[00:16:44] of us agree that the spear head of all these idiots is
[00:16:48] called Ricardo Salinas Priego, and all those
[00:16:52] he has bought and everything we're seeing, fortunately, they're taking off their
[00:16:55] own masks through their
[00:16:57] own actions, what we just saw with
[00:17:00] la
[00:17:00] derecha diaro and the partner of what's his name again,
[00:17:04] fernando sermida, but anyway. we're
[00:17:07] seeing, but anyway, we're seeing how they're surrounded by a
[00:17:11] bunch of criminals, that's what we're seeing, they're recruiting on
[00:17:15] scrupulous criminals with no principles other than money, to
[00:17:19] buy people's loyalty, to tell lies, to contaminate
[00:17:22] information, to spread disinformation and to buy
[00:17:26] elections, that's what i see, and unfortunately it's working for
[00:17:29] them in many places, brazil worries me, i'm not as worried
[00:17:33] about mexico, but brazil is the laboratory that comes
[00:18:07] ambassador to Japan who wore the Israeli uniform was a former advisor in
[00:18:11] Barack Obama's administration and a former mayor of Chicago,
[00:18:15] but you were saying that
[00:18:17] in the United States it's one in three right?
[00:18:20] yes, but here is another segment of people who
[00:18:23] definitely continue to support that zionism. of course,
[00:18:27] they're also being threatened at universities and so on, because they're almost
[00:18:31] trying to criminalize criticism of what these butchers are doing over
[00:18:35] there, in other words, calling it.
[00:19:49] Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, and then there's Joe
[00:19:53] Afghanistan, Biden,
[00:19:54] Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Bill
[00:19:57] Clinton, for example, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia and
[00:20:01] Herzegover in the 90s, Iraq, Sudan,
[00:20:04] Afghanistan.
[00:20:25] Trump doesn't, he says, no, it's ours, it's going to be
[00:20:29] ours, we've already recovered the money, we've already
[00:20:33] recovered what we invested in
[00:20:35] Venezuela. how governments adapt to that
[00:20:39] situation? for example, venezuela used to send
[00:20:43] 135 barrels of oil a day under the governments
[00:20:47] of maduro and hugo chaves
[00:20:49] de petr.
[00:21:20] clearly zionist given that the two armies have now even been
[00:21:23] brought together and Israel is seeking to make us military support for
[00:21:27] Israel irreversible militar con Israel sea
[00:21:30] irreversible bueno es preocupante
[00:21:33] obviamente it's concerning see a
[00:21:37] complete game of masks right and president has pointed
[00:21:41] this out in her morning press conferences where she's highlighted the tense
[00:21:44] relationship because the post trump makes on his social
[00:21:48] network truth social and because of what some of his officials are
[00:21:52] doing, in this case, the famous and infamous quit visas, as
[00:21:56] Christopher Landao calls himself, and what Marco Rubio has
[00:22:00] said, I mean, you can see that the chess board across all
[00:22:03] of America, across the entire continent is playing this game of
[00:22:07] masks, getting closer, pulling away diplomacy, and
[00:22:10] then a blow, what just happened with Andres Manuel Lopez
[00:22:14] Beltron is visa for example, and it worries me, it worries
[00:22:18] me because it keeps all
[00:22:50] happen without a doubt is this: the Monroe doctrine never went
[00:22:53] away, it never ceased to exist, but now the mask has been taken off
[00:22:57] completely and shamelessly, the use of force where necessary,
[00:23:01] blackmail and so on. every possible argument has been used to do
[00:23:05] it. America for the most American, in other words, the American
[00:23:08] continent for the United States, so much so that the former head of
[00:23:12] southern command, Mrs. Richardson said it openly, they
[00:23:16] are natural resources for our national security.
[00:23:20] is truly incredible, wow, time has flown if you want
[00:23:24] to add something and wrap things up, and the same goes for
[00:23:27] you.
[00:23:29] no, bueno, eh, hace
[00:23:30] añobamos
[00:23:34] issues and assumed things weren't going to go any
[00:23:37] further, and they did go further.
[00:23:41] therefore, i think we have to keep our eyes open, and pay attention to
[00:23:45] what is happening, because president trump may indeed take a
[00:23:49] step that we
[00:24:20] terrorist groups including people like Senator Lindsay Graham and all those
[00:24:24] who are advocating for it because they don't understand what a US intervention
[00:24:27] under the pretext of fighting narcoterrorism means or how far
[00:24:31] it can go. There are examples in different countries in the Middle East,
[00:24:35] Panama, Guatemala and so on. What do you want to say in
[00:24:39] conclusion?
[00:24:46] The empire strikes back 2026-2027.
[00:24:50] "I think we also
[00:24:51] need to be very careful with this designation of terrorists that Marco
[00:24:55] Rubio has made against all of us on the left around the world.
[00:24:59] Well, those of us who are closer to home could also end up a
[00:25:02] situation like the one that the president the international court
[00:25:06] of justice and several of its members ended up in. We are seeing
[00:25:10] this imperialist siege. It is a political persecution, it is
[00:25:14] keeping them a constant state of alert simply for thinking
[00:25:17] differently from them. And I find..." that lamentable as
[00:25:21] well, it is very worrying that they now want to bring the whole boot
[00:25:25] in, the whole claw in, just as the already have the media,
[00:25:29] judicial, economic, tariff and other forms of pressure,
[00:25:33] but for them to bring the whole claw into our country into Cuba or
[00:25:36] Brazil, wherever there is a progressive government or regime, i
[00:25:40] think we really need to have all our alarms switched on
[00:25:44] 24/7,
[00:25:50] has a book here by Luis Fernando Garnados
[00:25:53] Tsunan Lapitras about uprising that took place in
[00:25:57] Mexico City. This was in the context the U.S.
[00:26:01] Invasion of Mexico
[00:26:02] under President. James K. Pulk in 1847. This Mr.
[00:26:05] James Pulk held his convention in the city of Baltimore
[00:26:09] under the banner of manifest destiny and the young Abraham Lincoln
[00:26:13] said, "What blood shit?" "Ah, no, no, no, no, once they
[00:26:17] come up with excuse. No,
[00:26:19] so here you say that people armed themselves with stones like
[00:26:23] Palestine, the Palestinization the
[00:26:26] world. There are
[00:26:30] some very interesting parts, because he."
[00:26:42] exactly, but he describes how
[00:26:43] they had to move around carefully because people didn't want them there and
[00:26:47] would throw stones at them, there was essentially a three-day
[00:26:51] uprising in Mexico City, and he says that the US
[00:26:54] soldiers had to move around, of course, and if you ever,
[00:26:58] of course, and if you ever go to San Angel, you'll see the plaques there.
[00:27:02] commemorating the St. Patrick's battalion. I want to
[00:27:06] thank you very much for joining us in this brief but substantive
[00:27:09] segment, which also allows us to go against the mainstream narrative
[00:27:13] presented by the major media outlets around the world on these
[00:27:17] issues. Thank you for being with
[00:27:18] us.
[00:27:29] One flag, one message, for more than 200. nights,
[00:27:33] Iranians have taken to the streets, raising the national flag and
[00:27:36] expressing their
[00:27:37] support
[00:27:42] for, what has kept them coming out
[00:27:46] night after night,
[00:27:48] and what does this sustained presence tell us about Iran
[00:27:51] today? more than 200 nights and story
[00:27:55] that is still
[00:27:55] unfolding?
[00:30:16] Headlines on Press TV. Iran's top security official says
[00:30:20] the only way for the US says the only way for the US to get out the
[00:30:24] predicament it is created is to accept even
[00:30:27] seven. Yemen won
