Trump’s Iran Strikes Raise Alarming Questions About Civilian Casualties
26m 28s
Dave Portnoy promotes DraftKings’ new nationwide sports app, highlighting its live availability across all 50 states and a daily profit boost program for football games in September. New users are encouraged to sign up with the code SPOTIFY to earn $200 in rewards within 21 days by spending $5, with state-specific access via DKNG.co/slash/offers. The segment shifts to a critical commentary on U.S. military actions, accusing the Trump administration and key officials like Pete Hegseth and Admiral Brad Cooper of war crimes, including a deadly strike on a wedding in Iran. The attack, allegedly using U.S.-made AGM-84 "slammer" cruise missiles, is described as a violation of international law, with the speaker citing the law of armed conflict that prohibits declaring "no quarter." Testimonies from military leaders are presented as evidence of willful disregard for civilian protection and legal standards. The narrative condemns the U.S. military leadership as corrupt and inhumane, calling for accountability in The Hague. The video concludes with a call to action for subscribers and a promotion for a new book, "WTF America," to explore the rise of authoritarianism in American politics.

By the time I hit my 50s,
I'd learned a few things.
Like how family is precious.
Work can always wait.
And 99% of people over 50
already have the virus that causes shingles.
Not everyone at risk will develop it.
But I did.
The painful, blistering rash
disrupted my life for weeks.
Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way.

More horrific war crimes were committed yesterday
by Donald Trump and his despicable regime
during their. attack on Iran.
Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Admiral Cooper,
who's the CENTCOM commander,
and everybody in the chain of command
who were involved in these war crimes,
should be tried in The Hague
for their crimes against humanity
based on what took place yesterday.
I'll get into it in a moment.
As well as their mass slaughter of the little girls
in Manab Elementary School,
their mass slaughter of the little girls
and little children in Le Maire
at the beginning of the catastrophic war in Iran,
their mass slaughter of people on the fishing boats
off the coast of Venezuela,
their mass slaughter of the sailors
on the Dina ship off the coast of India
after they attended a parade
and they were unarmed
and the Trump regime used a submarine
to kill all of these unarmed Iranians
at the beginning of the war
and then Pete Hegseth spiked the football
and gloated how he killed all of those sailors.
The Trump regime is a gang of war criminals
who know that they're not alone.
They know that they're not alone.
They know that they need to be tried in The Hague.
We are not going to mince words here.
The United States is run by a gang of war criminals
and predators as they continue to cover up
the child sex trafficking ring that is the Epstein Files.
And if you think about their behavior
targeting elementary schools, volleyball halls, weddings,
these are sick, sick predators.
Yesterday, the Trump regime targeted
a private residential area
where a wedding was taking place.
In southern Iran, in the Sirik County area,
killing at least five individuals at a wedding
and severely injuring or injuring about 68 others.
We believe the death toll
and the overall casualty amount
is going to increase significantly.
We know that the hospitals in the nearby area,
including the Manab Hospital,
which also saw the mass slaughter
of the little girls in Manab Elementary School,
is treating lots of people
who were severely harmed by this attack on a wedding.
The New York Times was able to geolocate what took place
and also they were able to identify
some of the parts of the weapons
that were used to strike the area
where the wedding was taking place.
And sadly, we can confirm, indeed,
these were U.S. weapons, slammer weapons.
We'll get into what they were in a moment,
clearly came from the United States.
The Trump regime and the Netanyahu regime
tried to immediately claim it was Iran
striking its own people.
That's the same excuse or same claims
they tried to make about Manab.
Iran used a tomahawk against their own people.
Iran doesn't have tomahawks, okay?
Stop the BS.
The Trump regime is a bunch of gangster war criminals
who are engaged in this behavior.
Let's take a look at the reporting right here.
Malik A. Brown explains,
one CENTCOM strike from yesterday
hit this residential area,
reportedly hosting a wedding.
It's 150 yards from a comms tower
that was hit in a separate strike.
Multiple casualties, including children,
being treated for injuries in Iran's hospital.
And let's not forget that
there had been a lot of previous reporting
how Pete Hegseth destroyed and cut
the United States,
military's programs
that dealt with limiting civilian casualties in war.
And people were warning him against that.
Do not cut this program.
We have to use programs like this to avoid war crimes.
And Hegseth said, nope, I don't care.
Our only focus is on lethality
and just engaging in all of these horrific war crimes.
Christian Tribart posted the following images.
Weapon remnants said to have been removed,
recovered from tonight's strike.
This was yesterday on a wedding ceremony
in Kushtak, Iran.
That's in Sirik County.
Have been identified by the Easy Bake Ovens account
as slammer components.
Manufacturer Boeing touts this cruise missile
as the most accurate weapon in the U.S. Navy's inventory.
You can see right here,
look at the tail end of the slammer.
And you can see,
the component parts that are on the missile.
And you can see the component parts
on what was recovered from the site of the wedding.
Two other components were ID'd.
One was a thermal battery.
You can see it right there in blue.
And part of the missile casing, red,
along with parts of a cable raceway.
Example annotated by Trevor.
Take a look right here.
You can see for yourself.
Once again, at least five killed, 68 wounded.
That number is increasing in,
in the U.S. Navy.
That number is increasing in the U.S. Navy.
Navy.
Navy.
I'll show you right here what the hospitals looked like and again this is what was touted by
the Trump regime and Boeing as the most accurate missile out there the AGM-84 slammer precision
cruise missile the U.S. Navy touted this as so accurate striking this wedding in Kushitek
killing five civilians and injuring 63 play this clip
now Barack Ravid Donald Trump's personal stenographer and one of the chief propagandists
of this war posted the following CENCOM spokesperson Captain Tim Hawkins responded
we're away from the U.S. and we're not going to die
or two.
Like in that war, back when we were still the War Department, we are fighting to win.
And then I'll show you the cross-examination of Admiral Brad Cooper, the war criminal head of CENTCOM, when you had renowned, when you had combat veteran Congress member Crowe was cross-examining Cooper about the statements from Hegseth, the defense secretary,
saying that we show no quarter, which is a war crime, showing no quarter. You're not allowed to show no quarter in a war.
And then Brad Cooper, who's again proven himself to be a war criminal. He's proven himself to be a Trump bootlicker. And he's one of the disastrous forces.
He's revealed himself to be one of the most disastrous forces, the worst CENTCOM commander imaginable. Bent the knee, kissed the gangster ring.
Destroyed the United States military. That's going to be your legacy, Brad Cooper. I speak to top military leaders. Everyone knows how pathetic you are. You've destroyed the military. You've destroyed our credibility. You've destroyed the power. And you're a freaking war criminal engaged in this behavior. Watch Congress member Crowe cross-examine Brad Cooper recently here playing this clip.
I just read it to you. Yes, sir.
You're a combatant commander. You're one of our most senior military officers with tens of thousands of soldiers.
You're one of our most senior military officers with tens of thousands of service members under your command. Does the law of war manual state that it is prohibited to utter, to declare that no quarter be given?
It prohibits a large number of things.
No, no. I've asked you. I just read the provision to you. I just literally read the provision to you. Does it prohibit you or anyone else from declaring that no quarter be given? We will follow everything that's in the law.
Answer the question, Admiral Cooper. You have tens of thousands of service members under your command. I literally just read a provision from the law of war manual, our own manual. Will you not just say what I just read to you?
I will say that we will follow the law of armed conflict to the T.
This is just unbelievable to me.
I find the same thing, sir.
We will follow the law of armed conflict very calmly.
I literally verbatim.
I just read a provision from our own law of war manual, and you will refuse to say what that provision says.
Will you agree that it is prohibited under our own manual that you and all the people under your command are obligated to follow to declare that no quarter be given?
I will agree, consistent with my constitutional responsibility, to follow the law of armed conflict to the T. And I expect everyone working for me to do that.
This is not leadership.
To not be able to say something as basic.
The people, the men and women who we represent, who are under your command, deserve leadership.
Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, I object.
This is a personal attack.
This is unfair.
And I appreciate that very much.
This is well within the purview of my questioning.
Mr. Chairman's time.
I reclaim my time.
Can I reclaim some additional time?
I'm going to give you some extra time.
Go ahead.
It's our job to make sure the law is being followed.
That is literally the obligation of this Congress.
I read to you a provision of our own law of war manual.
And all I want you to say is what the provision says, that it is prohibited.
It is prohibited.
This is the title.
This is what the title says to declare that no quarter be given.
I will follow the law to the T and expect everyone to do the same.
This is extremely disappointing.
Our service members deserve far better than this.
I yield back.
Yeah, well, there you have it, folks.
I wanted to get you all that data.
