00:00Hi, everybody. Today is Monday, April 14th, 2025, and our friend Leith Marouf is back with us.
00:11Welcome back, Leith.
00:12Great to be with you, Nima.
00:15Well, let's get started, Leith, with what has happened in Gaza, which is so sad that the Israeli warplanes have targeted the only functioning hospital in Gaza, Baptist Hospital.
00:28What do you know about that?
00:31Yeah, I mean, this is the Ahli Baptist Hospital.
00:37It's run by the Anglican Church, which is near it.
00:44And if our viewers may remember, this was the first hospital they attacked in Gaza in 2023.
00:51And at the time, the Zionists lied and said it was a stray missile from Hamas or Islamic Jihad that landed in the hospital.
01:01And since then, they attacked this hospital four times.
01:04And finally, now, obviously, you know, they don't even care anymore about hiding it or what anybody thinks because they can get away with, you know, mass genocide, destruction of every other hospital and every other clinic in the Gaza Strip.
01:24And, you know, they did this attack on Palm Sunday.
01:30So the Christian world, including Christian Palestinians, were, you know, preparing for the Holy Day.
01:40And this is the response of the Zionists.
01:43By the way, the same time that they attacked the Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, the Israelis invaded South Lebanon and decided to destroy the statue of St. George in Yaron village right on the border with a bulldozer.
02:04So, again, this was on Palm Sunday.
02:08So this is all deliberate targeting of Christian holy sites and Christian sites in general on a holy day for Christians.
02:19And at the same time that they were doing this invasion of South Lebanon just to destroy this statue,
02:26they brought with them fanatic religious Jewish supremacist colonists to tour the areas they occupy of South Lebanon and of South Syria.
02:39So, you know, again, it's clear the religious war intentions, the psychological warfare, the desecration of everybody else's holy sites or sites in general is the priority of the Zionists.
02:56How much of the Southern Lebanon is still in the hands of the Israelis?
03:02There is the five hills that they occupy in the south of Lebanon and the areas that they had occupied before the war started, meaning in the Shaba farms and the area around it.
03:18So, it's not much, but they keep on, you know, doing encouragements whenever they feel like the Lebanese population is getting comfortable and just to show everybody who's the genocidal boss.
03:36And, look, you know, the situation in South Lebanon is very fragile.
03:45We saw multiple attacks over the last week on new temporary shelters that the Lebanese population have been putting in their villages.
03:57And in response we saw, starting yesterday, there was convoys of these mobile homes, prefabricated homes, going down to the south to station these mobile homes in the front villages.
04:14And we expect that the Zionists will be attacking those new mobile homes in a minute now.
04:21Leif, what do we know about Hezbollah and the way that they're trying, I don't know if they're trying to do something with the situation in Southern Lebanon?
04:36And is that going to be with the government in Lebanon?
04:40Is that going to be something just among the Hezbollah leaders right now?
04:47How, what do we know about that?
04:50Or are they even thinking of doing something?
04:55Yeah, I think they are rebuilding and reorganizing and they're letting the path of Lebanon,
05:06I lost your voice.
05:11It seems that you're muted.
05:20Yeah, it seems that the mic is not connected.
05:23Okay.
05:24Yeah, you're back.
05:25You're back, Leif.
05:26Yeah.
05:27For some reason the mic just...
05:30Was shifted.
05:32Yeah, shifted.
05:33Is it still good or should I change the mic?
05:37Yeah, it's good.
05:38No, it's good.
05:39Okay.
05:39So, you know, obviously Hezbollah just wants the new government to take action to see where it goes with this.
05:49But, you know, two days ago there was a survey published by Al-Nahar newspaper.
05:56And Al-Nahar newspaper is a newspaper that is funded by Hariri family.
06:04So, it's pro-American, pro-Saudi.
06:06And they did a survey of the whole population of Lebanon.
06:10And one of the questions was who do this population, you know, the Lebanese people consider as the biggest danger and the number one enemy of Lebanon.
06:23And 79% of the population said the number one enemy is Israel.
06:32And so, you know, when you break down this by sect, you know, the vast majority of Sunnis and Shia and Druze see the same answer.
06:49And when you go down to the Christian population, even within the Maronite population that is, you know, represented by these two fascist parties, the Falange and the Kata'in,
07:02even there, a majority of the Maronite population, meaning over 58% of them, see Israel as the number one enemy and threat to Lebanon.
07:15So, another question that was asked in this survey was about the weapons of the resistance.
07:25If disarming the resistance is a solution to the problems of Lebanon and or if the people being asked want a disarmament of the resistance.
07:37And only 2.6% of the population of Lebanon said that this is what they want, they want the disarming of the resistance and or that it will work in the favor of Lebanon if this happens.
07:53So, and looking even at the Maronite population, you know, just around 10% of them said this.
08:01So, clearly, all the propaganda that the West and its local vessels and vessels here in Lebanon have been pushing into the Lebanese population to, you know, say that the Lebanese people want to have Hezbollah disarmed did not work.
08:22So, all the billions of dollars that were spent, the majority of the Lebanese people understand that the military power of the resistance is what protects Lebanon.
08:32Finally, one of the other questions that was kind of very enlightening about what the Lebanese population wants here was the election system here in Lebanon.
08:45And, again, the Americans, the Zionists and all their vessels have been pushing for the last 10 years this idea of federalizing Lebanon, this small, tiny country of 4 million people.
09:00They wanted to make it into federal states by municipality so the fascists in one neighborhood can have a say against the majority around them.
09:11So, even with all this propaganda to try to get people to approve this idea of federalism in Lebanon, less than 12% of the population saw this as a solution.
09:26And the vast majority over almost 80% of the population wants a electoral system that is not sectarian, that's one man, one vote.
09:39And, clearly, in this situation, Hezbollah will have a majority in the parliament and will govern through democratic choice.
09:50And so, you know, look at this, this is a survey done by an imperialist newspaper and that has been propagating all these ideas against the resistance, being shocked at the outcome of this survey that shows that the vast majority of Lebanese, no matter what sect they come from,
10:15no matter what class or gender there are or what region from Lebanon they are, they are all supportive of the resistance, they see Israel as the number one enemy, they want to get rid of the sectarian reserved seats in the parliament so the government can really represent the will of its people.
10:33And this is probably very scary for the imperialists and their regional vessels and it's also an indication of what would happen in any other Arabic country if today the population in Syria is truly given a democratic choice,
10:52they will also choose the same choices that Lebanon is choosing right now, same in any of the Arabic countries from Mauritania to Oman.
10:59The population here wants, the Arabic people want unity, they want an end of Israeli crimes, they want American control of the region to end, and that's the only path forward for the people here.
11:18When you look at Lebanon today and with the new government, who has the upper hand in terms of putting pressure on the government, is that the United States, is that France, Macron, who is that in your opinion?
11:36Yeah, I mean the Americans and the Saudis definitely have the most influence over the government in Lebanon currently, but I think it's one thing to have influence, it's another that to be able to achieve whatever your influence aims are.
11:58So, you know, given this survey that I just talked to you about, even if the Saudis pay off everybody in the government here or the Americans and try to disarm Hezbollah,
12:14they will have to face, you know, if only 3%, less than 3% of the population want that happening, that means they will be having to face 97% of the population of Lebanon.
12:28And, you know, this 97%, it means 97% of the soldiers in the military.
12:35It means 97% of people in the security forces.
12:39And so, this is an unachievable goal, okay?
12:45You have to have an invading army from outside Lebanon to attempt this.
12:5397% against disarming Hezbollah means that you can't even depend on a, you know, Christian supremacist militia like the Kata'ib to deliver on this.
13:07Because even within their own population, the Maronites sect, the vast majority are against this idea.
13:15They can see how their villages in the south, Maronite villages in the south of Iran were desecrated,
13:23where Israeli soldiers defecated inside the churches, they desecrated the icons in the churches,
13:32and they even filmed themselves having a drunken, drugged-up gay wedding in one of these churches, if some of our viewers remember.
13:44And finally, we just saw them, how they destroyed the statue of St. George.
13:47So, the Maronites themselves know that if Hezbollah is disarmed, that they themselves will become victims to whoever has the arms,
14:01and that will be the Israelis and the Wahhabi death squads.
14:03So, it's impossible that the Kata'ib and the Falange here in Lebanon can deliver on a civil war.
14:12So, what is left for the Americans and the Saudis in terms of influence here in Lebanon?
14:21The only thing they can do is squeeze the economy, is continue to have their Wahhabi death squads of HTS that are under control of the Americans
14:32and their local vassals like Turkey and Saudi, to have the HTS continue harassing Lebanon on its borders
14:41and or cutting the transport of goods and pushing more and more refugees into the country.
14:48The only thing that the United States can do is have Israel continue bombing and invading.
14:55And all of these things, whether it's the threats from HTS on the border or Israel on the border or in the air,
15:02all of these things are actually driving the local Lebanese population into the hands of the resistance.
15:13Because the resistance is the only thing that's going to defend the Lebanese people against the headchoppers of HTS if they cross the border.
15:22It's also the only thing that can defend Lebanon against these massive bombardments by the Zionists.
15:29So, I think the Americans and their local vassals have realized right now the limit of whatever bribery schemes they have to control the government.
15:45What, I was somehow surprised with the case of Saudi Arabia, what's the link between Saudi Arabia and the government of Lebanon
15:54through which they're capable of putting pressure on the government?
15:57I lost your voice.
16:06Same.
16:07Same thing?
16:08You're back.
16:08You're back.
16:09I'm back.
16:09Okay.
16:10You know, there's a problem with this DJI mic when you connect it to the Bluetooth.
16:15It does this, I guess.
16:18I'll not do this again.
16:19Next time I'll connect a different mic, but I just was hoping for a better audio this time.
16:25Look, the Saudis used to be the number one sponsor for the Sunni parties, meaning the future party of Hariri.
16:35But then they had that feud with the Hariri family and they kidnapped Saad Hariri and tied him up on a chair in Riyadh and forced him to do a resignation on air from Riyadh.
16:49And eventually defunded his party and right now the Sunni population doesn't have really any centralized representation in terms of politics.
16:59And what the Saudis did at that point is that they shifted all their funding towards the two Christian supremacist parties, Katayb and the Falange, and decided that they're going to be their main sponsors.
17:19Now, this is a possibility of influence because of, you know, the Maronite population being so small and or its representation percentage in the parliament also being smaller.
17:36But the Maronites pick the head of the military and they also have the choice to appoint the president, name the president.
17:49So those are, you know, very important positions, even though that there's not much representation on the ground and in the parliament.
17:56And that's what the Saudis have gotten right now. They've got control of these positions. The Americans are behind them. And the Sunni population in Lebanon is being punished.
18:14On the one hand, for that problem between Hariri and the Saud family, the other is because the Sunni population in Lebanon, although a big part of them were supporting the overthrow of the Assad government in Syria, they still are not Wahhabi fanatics or Muslim Brotherhood fanatics.
18:42The majority of Sunnis in Lebanon are very liberal, much more liberal than any other Sunni population in the Arabic world.
18:54And so it's hard to get them to fully identify or fully support head-choppers that want to put their wives and daughters in niqab.
19:05So it's not working as the Saudis would expect it to work.
19:11And right now the situation in Syria, especially with the mass targeting of the Sunni Sufi preachers.
19:27I mean, we just saw last week the former Mufti of Syria, who is a very, very, you know, calm person, is very peaceful person.
19:41His son was assassinated by HTS during his university years.
19:50And the Mufti of Syria at that time came out crying on public television, but also forgave them.
19:59And then when they were caught, he went to the jail and forgave them again and asked for their release.
20:04You know, last week he was allowed by the HTS government to leave Syria.
20:10And as he was leaving, he was kidnapped and put on blindfolded.
20:14And now we don't know where he is. He's disappeared.
20:17So, you know, the vast majority of Sunnis in Lebanon here are watching what's happening in Syria.
20:26And they realize if HTS-like groups get control of Lebanon, they are going to face the same fate as the Sufis of Syria.
20:41And that's not going to work out for them.
20:43How is that possible with HTS-like people taking over Lebanon?
20:51Is that the potential inside the country or you're talking about the outside, the forces outside Lebanon?
20:58Definitely forces outside Lebanon.
21:01There is a few groups here in Lebanon that were active during the Syria war.
21:06They still have direct links to Turkey and the HTS.
21:15And those groups are in the north of Lebanon.
21:17And the border in the north of Lebanon is less protected because, you know, Hezbollah is in the south and the Biqaa Valley.
21:27So, if there is a major attack by HTS coupled with local militias that are Wahhabi in the Tarablos region, things can get out of hand.
21:42And once you cross the border in the north and, you know, in the Biqaa Valley, there's nothing to stop you.
21:48And or into Tarablos, Tripoli, you know, you're on the main highway to Beirut and it's easy going at that point.
21:57There's no Shia villages in the north of Lebanon on the coast, for instance.
22:03So, it's the worst case scenario that Lebanon can face is an invasion from the north by HTS because of those realities.
22:16And remember, you know, to screw up a country, to destroy a country, you don't need the huge armies.
22:25You just need a few thousand fighters and everything is in chaos.
22:30And, you know, and with a government here in Lebanon that is fragmented, it's much easier to achieve such a thing.
22:40How do you see the situation in Syria? Don't you think that they're totally involved with somehow some sort of chaos within the country?
22:56That's why I don't see that coming to Lebanon, because even Turkey has a lot of problems right now in Syria.
23:06And on the other hand, Leith, with the case of Lebanon, do you see the Trump administration right now?
23:16We can say that they have, they know what they're going to do with the case of Lebanon and the region.
23:23Are they going to do the same as the Biden administration or do they have a slightly or totally different attitude?
23:31Yeah, in Syria, the situation is uncontrollable.
23:37There's too many interests and the local vassals and the empire itself are all not in agreement on who's going to get what part of the loot.
23:50You know, I told you obviously about the Grand Mufti of Syria, what happened to him.
23:57There's also, we saw on Palm Sunday, all the churches being surrounded by HTS gunmen in masks and they're filming everybody that's coming to the mass.
24:12So the Christian population, you know, is very worried about their future and what's going to happen to their sons and daughters.
24:24There was also an arrest warrant issued for Mother Agnes, the very famous, you know, Christian nun from Syria that was over the last three months documenting the genocide of Alawis and Christians in the coastal area.
24:49It's what she's the person that we have the archive of these crimes from.
24:56And now she's, you know, they put a price on her head.
25:00We haven't heard, of course, any of the churches in the West condemn the threats to the lives of Mother Agnes.
25:10And we didn't hear anything about the attacks on the churches and the cemeteries of Christians at all.
25:21This is what's shocking, you know, to me, you know, seeing how the Syrian people's lives are so, you know, underappreciated in comparison to anybody else.
25:37I mean, you'd think that the Catholic Church or the Orthodox Church or whatever it is that would be worried about the oldest churches in the world that are in Ma'loula and Sayyid Naya or the archaeological sites of Christianity or the head of John the Baptist that is in the heart of the Umayyad mosque.
26:00But it's really shocking. It's really shocking how little interest there is in the lives of even the Christian Syrians in the West.
26:12And in terms of, you know, Trump and his positions on Lebanon or what he has as a future, if you look over the last 80 years of American policy in the region and you don't see the end and beginning of terms of different presidents,
26:35you would think it's all one president that was governing these policies and implementing them.
26:43So we see a continuity over the last 80 years of American policy, which is to kill and fragment Arabic people and Arabic states,
26:56and to strengthen and expand the Zionist colony at the cost of the Arab lives and Arab land.
27:05So there is no change. And I think the Trump will continue his policy, the policies of Biden towards Lebanon as he's continuing them to the rest of the region.
27:18Yemen and Sarola in Yemen announced that they shut down a MQ-9 drone intelligence alone.
27:33And how do you see the situation right now with Yemen? And we know that they have been targeting Israel as well.
27:48Just it was yesterday that they've been targeting with ballistic missiles.
27:54Yeah, yeah. Look, the Yemenis, I think, shot 19 of those MQ-9s.
28:02I think each one of them is worth something like 30 million dollars, each one of these MQ-9s.
28:08So, you know, we're talking a huge price tag. And we also just saw videos of sailors.
28:19I've lost you. Yeah. You're muted, Leif. Yeah.
28:41Now? No, you're back. You're back.
28:43Okay. Perfect. Okay. So the MQ-9s, you know, and we also saw videos of American soldiers conducting, you know, fixing operations on the Truman.
29:01So the aircraft carrier was hit clearly by the Yemeni resistance.
29:07And, you know, when you put this in the context of the Saudis starting right now confrontations on the borders of Yemen,
29:18that means that the Americans are failing.
29:20We need now ground operations to try to distract the Yemeni resistance and open other fronts on them.
29:28Because America's naval and air bombarding campaign is failing, and it's very costly.
29:37I think, you know, up until now, the Americans have spent over 10 billion dollars on this war against Yemen.
29:48And if we put it in context, you know, with Syria, the Americans also just admitted that they spent 2 billion dollars a year on the war on Syria.
29:59So that's, you know, 15 years, that's like 30 billion dollars at least, add to it what the Qataris did spend on the Saudis and the Emiratis and the Turks.
30:11And we know now that the war on Syria has been the most costly military operation and overthrow operation in the history of the United States.
30:22You see, like, I want people to understand, you know, Syria, Syria resisted the most expensive overthrow campaign in the history, modern history for 15 years.
30:34So you could imagine how long Yemen can resist and how more expensive it's going to be as an operation to try to overthrow the government in Yemen.
30:47You know, time is not on the side of the Zionists and the imperialists.
30:56The only thing that the imperialists and the Zionists can do in the region is kill innocent lives.
31:02They can't win wars through direct military confrontation.
31:07They can kill, you know, innocents.
31:10They can destroy infrastructure.
31:12They can starve populations, but they can't win wars with direct confrontation, as we saw in Syria.
31:21And now we're seeing in Yemen.
31:22If we had the first talks between the United States and Iran, do you see the way that the Trump administration tried to talk with Iranian is because of what has happened in Yemen?
31:39Because they know if Yemen is capable of resisting or fighting back, what would be the case with Iran?
31:48And how do you see that?
31:51Yeah, I mean, the Americans just yesterday or the day before, just before they walked into these talks, they were, you know, Trump was saying he's going to blame Iran for every bullet that's fired by the Yemenis and Iran will pay the price.
32:09But it's still continuing, obviously, and Iran didn't get attacked.
32:12That doesn't mean that Iran is not going to get attacked.
32:16I personally think that the war is coming, no matter what we try.
32:20And not, you know, the decisions by the Zionists and...
32:27I lost you, Leik.
32:31Yeah, just, you can replace it, yeah.
32:40Yeah, you're muted, Leif.
32:43How is it now?
32:44Yeah, yeah, you're back, you're back.
32:46Okay, forget this.
32:47I'm not going to do this again.
32:51Sorry about that.
32:52No problem at all.
32:53Yeah.
32:54So I was saying that this war is going to come, upon a time pass, the border against the
33:13war will not return.
33:15No problem.
33:16Yeah. So I was saying that this war is going to come no matter what we try. And this is because, as we've seen, the decisions of the Zionists and the imperialists behind them have ceased to be logical anymore.
33:34And their main goal is to make sure that the Zionist colony is permanent and that the American hegemony over the Arabs is permanent. And this is an unachievable goal in the situation of the maintenance of the Zionist colony if you want to follow just logical paths to that.
34:03So the options in front of the Americans and the Zionists are all irrational options. You know, major genocide, for instance, against the Palestinians. This is an irrational option, given that we're in the 22nd century, right?
34:23To try to make the presence of the Americans in the region permanent and the domination of the Arab people permanent, that will require you to nuke Iran.
34:36You cannot have a traditional war with Iran and defeat them. It's not a small country. It's not a country that is dependent on foreign supply of weapons. It's not a country that needs oil and gas from external sources.
34:55It's very self-sufficient country with a huge territory, a huge population and a huge industrial base and agricultural base. So the only path forward to defeat Iran would be nuclear war.
35:09And so that's an irrational option. But as I was saying, the Americans and the Israelis have run out of rational options long time ago. And this is why we see them behave this way.
35:24And the longer they're engaged in irrational decisions, in irrational attacks on civilians and use of forbidden weapons.
35:38And the more, you know, the more, you know, the more effect this has on all the abilities of the Zionists and the empire, even outside the region, as we see the actions of the Zionists have huge consequences, not only on the Palestinians and in the region here, or how the Arabs and the Palestinians and the Muslims look at Israel, but how the whole world looks at them.
36:07And similarly, the more the more the United States is bullying to our region, the more others are deciding to find partners, other partners to do trade with or to have military alliances with.
36:24And that's going to have lasting consequences and the United States right now, its inability to bully other countries into its trade, you know, tariffs and so forth and agreements is a result, direct result of the Palestinians still standing against the empire.
36:54Yemen facing off with Yemen facing off with the empire and the costs of maintenance of American presence in the region accelerating.
37:03So, you know, tomorrow, yesterday or the day before China wouldn't have been in this position had it not for Yemen and or Palestine or Lebanon or Iran doing, you know, resisting in such ways.
37:20So, the consequences of the irrational actions of the Zionists and the Americans in our region reverberate globally.
37:28We know that we know that the only issue that the United States and Iran are talking on is the case of nuclear program of Iran.
37:42Do you think that is somehow satisfying for the Arab states in the region?
37:52How do they feel about these talks?
37:54Do they want more than that?
37:56Do they want to bring the axis of resistance into the talks with Iran?
38:02Do they want more than that?
38:07Do they want more than that?
38:09Yeah, I mean, look, the vessels in the Arab and Arabian Peninsula want the whole destruction of the axis of resistance, not only Iran.
38:23most probably all the costs of the israeli attacks on libanon on syria on palestine and the genocide
38:36in ghazza have been paid for by the emiratis the saudis and the bahrainis if not also the qataris
38:43uh and so we know also from the meetings in 2006 during the 2006 war between the these arab states
38:56that they were calling israel and telling it to continue the war and even here in in 2004 the war
39:05the gulf uh monarchs were not happy that israel stopped the war with libanon suddenly
39:11they wanted it to continue to destroy all of libanon not only to kill sayyid hassan nasrallah
39:17uh and some of the leadership of hezbollah they wanted a full defeat of hezbollah and
39:23because you know the biggest danger for these vessels in the region is that there will be a strong
39:33arabic loved leader that is resisting the zionist he just the example of that person puts them in a bad
39:43life and they want basically everybody to be the muhammad is kind of kissing the ring of the zionist
39:51openly and killing anybody within their own population that dares stand in the way of
39:57uh the zionist so i am sure uh you know we heard all those statements from qatar and saudi and imras that
40:07they will not allow the americans to use their bases to attack iran that's all lies they will be
40:13it's not only that they don't have any choice what what bases america uses because they are house slaves
40:19but also because they personally want it to happen they would they they would be uh kind of uh advertising
40:27it to everybody that they were part of this attack on iran if the united states succeeds in breaking uh
40:34iran in such a war uh the ansarullah in yemen are um you know kind of an arch enemy for the saudis
40:45so i'm sure the saudi government is telling the united states that it wants uh all of
40:52the access of resistance on the table of negotiations not only the weapons of uh iran or its nuclear
41:00nuclear program and iran knows that if it doesn't have allies in the region in the axis of resistance
41:09that it will be left alone so that's not going to happen you know it ansarullah or hezbollah are a
41:16more important weapon as an ally of the of iran than iran holding nuclear weapons you see so
41:23now will the iranian negotiators uh hold on to these positions i think so i i think so i don't think iran
41:35uh and or the leadership of iran the current leadership of iran no matter how many criticism
41:42we may have for them i don't think they will be able to uh take a action that is harmful to iran
41:53there's the military in iran that has a say and there's the ayatollah that has a say
41:59so i looking to the future i think we're going to enter this
42:04four or five maybe six months of negotiations with between iran and the united states
42:10and both sides during these negotiations will be playing all their regional cards
42:16uh to increase the pressure on each other uh and uh at the end of those six months
42:24we will see what happens actually we had in the news that the fuel provided to the united states in
42:32the diego garcia to the bombers to the airplanes and all of that is mostly provided by uae and
42:39i don't know if yemen or iran if something happens between iran and the united states they're going
42:48to target they're going to hit uae they're not going to let them survive and that that is dangerous
42:54that that would be a new escalation in the region i think it it should be the number one target the
43:02minute there is a war between the united states and iran the number one target should be all the
43:09oil and gas infrastructure and cutting all the movement of those uh around the region in the
43:17uh straits and this will mean that the united states will have to bring uh jet fuel and uh navy uh ship
43:27fuel from far away and it's not going to be anywhere close even you know they will have to bring it maybe
43:35from indonesia from brunei and or all the way to niger nigeria and or uh all the way from scandinavia
43:45those are the closest points where uh countries would be supplying the united states military uh
43:53with uh you know fuel for their jets and for their ships so a you know if that happens
44:02all the american equipment in the region will stay on the tarmac will not be able to move uh and this is
44:11why i think in a way for the last hundred years or 80 years more correctly for the last 80 years the
44:24all the anti-colonization decolonization movements in the region have made a big mistake in allowing the
44:32gas and oil of uh arabia to continue flowing because the flow of this gas and oil is what financed
44:45the empire and what ran the death machine of the empire and the ability of the united states to project
44:52power into asia and africa and so for the future either this oil and gas has to be liberated
45:02from american uh control and the vessels that control it and or it should be burned because
45:10it's definitely not one cent of this oil and gas money over the last 80 years has benefited the arabic
45:17and muslim peoples in the region yeah thank you so much leif for being with us today great pleasure as
45:25always thank you see you soon take care bye bye bye
