And the stories of Manbij between 2011 and 2016 that Anand Gopal tells, as well as a lot of the stories from the Pale of Settlement between 1905 and 1917 and after that Molly Crabapple tells, I just feel like serve as such a valuable warning about what can happen when self-interested actors take over entire movements.
EdGUEST

Yeah, I don't know.
EdGUEST
56:39
I guess I have more to say about that.

Now, this comes at the same time that Hegseth and Donald Trump will be covering up the Pentagon report, which has been complete for many, many months, into the war crimes that were committed by the regime against the elementary school in Manbij on the first day of the catastrophic war in Iran, and against Lamer, a sports hall where some of the Trump regime's new tungsten weapons sprayed these tungsten pellets and slaughtered a bunch of little children who were involved in volleyball practice in Iran.
Ben MeiselasHOST
4:54
The report is already complete.
Ben MeiselasHOST

Obviously, it was the Trump regime.
Ben MeiselasHOST

The Tomahawk is what blew up and killed the little girls in the elementary school in Manbij.
Ben MeiselasHOST

It's the tungsten pellet weapon that killed the little girls and little children in Lamer.

We were using drones, both quadcopters all the way up to, you know, the Reapers and Predators, to be able to, uh, direct artillery fire and to help, you know, move, advance the Kurds in Manbij or advance the Kurds in Raqqa or, you know, Hajin down south.
Justin McIntoshPANELIST

I, I see that as like d- what that should have been a template for is, hey, this is going to be part of, like, we're, we're seeing this as a more effective use.

You don't have to have FOs and forward observers out for cav scouts calling in this artillery.

I- in the real world, a, a ceasefire amongst nations at war is a deeply serious thing.
Ben MeiselasHOST
14:52
When you go into war against a country like Iran, you shouldn't be surprised after slaughtering children in Manbij and Lamer that Iran is going to fight back.
Ben MeiselasHOST
15:02
You may wanna analyze all of the issues in the region as well, and then quickly realize not only will Iran take over the Strait of Hormuz, which they did, but also there can be regional wars that spread, which we see right now between the Houthis, Ansar Allah in Yemen, the Saudi-backed PLC government, and Saudi Arabia.
Ben MeiselasHOST
15:22
I mean, we see the war spreading between Russia's, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

They're going after Rick Grenell in the Kennedy Center and saying that he took donations from Habba's billionaire Turkish husband who has the Venezuelan concrete contracts, and Grenell's saying, "I didn't take the money." And they're all, they're all fighting each other.
Ben MeiselasHOST
21:22
And then is Susie Wiles gonna be fired? There's an issue if she's gonna be, you know, fired.
Ben MeiselasHOST
21:26
Is Hegseth gonna last after the midterms? They're withholding the, um, report on the slaughter of the children in Manbij until after the midterms.
Ben MeiselasHOST
21:35
Hegseth's refusing to release the report because it could be damaging.
Ben MeiselasHOST
9:43
I just want us all to have an objective data set of what is actually happening here.
Ben MeiselasHOST
9:49
Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon have stated they will not be turning over any reports regarding the war crimes that were committed in Manbij, where little elementary school girls were slaughtered by the Trump regime.
Ben MeiselasHOST
10:04
At least 168 little elementary school girls were slaughtered.
Ben MeiselasHOST
10:08
That report is going to be concealed through the midterms.
Ben MeiselasHOST
42:49
But, but let's also say this, he doesn't even know the most basic war tactics, and here we're spending our taxpayer dollars, one, like slaughtering civilians and killing innocent people abroad as well is where a lot of our money's going to.
Ben MeiselasHOST
43:06
And, and look, the Trump regime has slaughtered children in Manbij and Lamer.
Ben MeiselasHOST
43:10
The Trump regime gives all this money to the Netanyahu regime for the genocide.
Ben MeiselasHOST
43:13
I can go on and on and on.
Ben MeiselasHOST
16:38
First off, Hegseth is a war criminal.
Ben MeiselasHOST
16:40
He slaughtered little children in Manbij and Le Maire, and he slaughters people on fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela and in the Pacific.
Ben MeiselasHOST
16:49
I mean, he's actually...
Ben MeiselasHOST
16:50
We're watching a war criminal.
Ben MeiselasHOST
16:13
I actually said much more than that.
Ben MeiselasHOST
16:15
I said there shouldn't be anybody running for the presidency on the Democratic side unless you promise that you will turn over Trump, Hegseth, Rubio, Vance, anybody h- who's in the chain of command who's ordered the slaughter of the children in Manbij and Lamer, who's ordered the s- slaughter of people on fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela.
Ben MeiselasHOST
16:39
And I also said anyone running for the presidency on the Democratic side must also promise on day one that the Golden Ballroom will be demolished on live TV, and anything that has Trump's name on it in Washington, DC also gets demolished on day one on live TV.
Ben MeiselasHOST
16:58
And if you don't commit to that, I say you are disqualified.
Ben MeiselasHOST
7:29
"We gonna do it the nice way or the not so nice way?" Really? That's what you're...
Ben MeiselasHOST
7:34
That's the way you're speaking right here? What does that mean? Are you gonna slaughter mul- more children in Manbij and Lamerd and Keshem and Sirik? Is that what you're gonna do? Here was Fox cutting the coverage.
