U.S. Subpoenas Code Pink Founder & Hasan Piker!

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]administration is investigating me, Hassan [ __ ] and others for a trip that CodePink and other groups organized in March to bring medicines and medical supplies to Cuba's pediatric hospitals.

[00:00:13]>> The Trump administration has moved now to subpoena or has subpoenaed, not moved to, they have subpoenenaed media Benjamin and Hassan [ __ ] Subpoena does not mean arrested. It means just investigating. But let's not be dumb.

[00:00:29]The subpoenas are for the purpose of imprisoning. The goal is to imprison.

[00:00:34]Why are they bringing these subpoenas?

[00:00:35]It's not to stop harm to the American people. It's not to stop the terrorists.

[00:00:42]It's designed to try and imprison left-wing activists, those who speak out from the left-wing side of things. Why?

[00:00:52]For bringing medicine and food and stuff to Cubans. You could not get any more insane of a like for our world. It's just like if you try and help people that our government is killing, then you are the enemy. You are a terrorist for trying to help people that our government aims to kill or or destroy their lives. Now, I suppose to begin with, you got to define leftwing.

[00:01:19]Democrats in Congress are not leftwing.

[00:01:20]Okay? They're the the vast majority of them, if not all of them, are supporting genocide, are supporting wars, are supporting killing people, are supporting capitalism, are supporting the the destructive capitalist gravity of this world. So, leftwing is not the Democrats in Congress. Leftwing, you've got to be anti-war, you've got to be anti- genocide, and you have to really regularly speak out about these things and stick to those those ideals, uh, among many others in my view. Now, I also understand there's a good argument that leftwing doesn't really mean anything because or neither does socialist when you really like break it all down because for one person socialist might mean that some people get some social security when they turn 70 or something. For other people, socialist might mean that the workers control the means of production. The variety of what people believe in their minds when they say a term that goes for leftwing as well. I don't know a lot. I I obviously know Medadia personally and I know a lot of what she stands for and what she fights for. And I actually went on a trip to Cuba with her, but that was way back. I think it was still the Obama years. So, I don't think uh I don't think Trump's going to subpoena me for the Obama trip to Cuba. I don't know as much about Hassan [ __ ] I know he's hugely popular. I know he has been very good on Gaza, I believe. Uh I know he's obviously very good on Cuba. I don't I know some people dislike him for other reasons. Uh it doesn't really [ __ ] matter to me, but the goal is obviously to imprison the kind of biggest most well-known left-wing activists. Now, there are people perhaps better known than these than than media and Hassan uh Per, but the government so far is subpoenaing with the aim of arresting with the aim of imprisoning those who have taken some kind of action as opposed to just speaking it online.

[00:03:07]media and [ __ ] did a trip to Cuba to try and bring medicine and not just medicine but also to get the word out that this is why are we harming Cubans etc. Uh that was their aim. US authorities on Saturday issued subpoenas to a political commentator and anti-war activist over recent trips to Cuba and possible violations of sanctions and travel regulations. The inquiry into influencer Hassan [ __ ] and Code Pink co-founder be Medadia Benjamin is being led by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. Yeah, cuz Medadia and Hassan Pike are totally uh totally foreign assets and is examining possible breaches of US law related to Cuba sanctions. Let's remember that US sanctions on countries are done by a terrorist entity, which is the US government. The US government is a terrorist entity. It blows up innocent civilians on a daily basis every day. We are murdering innocent civilians. That's kind of our our game plan. That's our go-to. That's our that's our love and our passion of our government. And so for them to decide, oh, there's sanctions. There's we're making it illegal to to deal with this country or people there. That itself should be illegal. These laws are wrong. And they just do these things like sanctions on Cuba and sanctions on Venezuela and sanctions on whatever Russia and then they arrest the people who violate their sanctions. Well, your sanctions are [ __ ] dumb. Okay, they're toxic nationalism at its best. The subpoenas are said to sought financial travel and communications records linked to the March visit to Cuba involving as many as 40 US citizens as part of the Newestra America convoy or our America convoy.

[00:04:48]And by the way, everyone else on uh I don't see the picture here. Maybe we'll see it later. The picture of the folks on this Cuba trip, which by the way, same a lot of the same folks as when I went to Cuba 10 years ago with Medadia.

[00:05:00]These are wonderful people, largely older people. Many of the people who go and care so much and have the time, I guess, is another thing to travel to Cuba and try and bring medicine to like babies. It's it's a lot of like 70 year olds, late 60s, maybe some 80 year olds.

[00:05:19]This is grandmas mainly trying to bring medicine to babies. That's who Trump wants to imprison. Medadia also, although she looks like a a a young a young lady, she is also a grandma age as well. The the report said the convoy included activists, influencers, and political organizations that travel to Havana. Gasp. What? Someone traveled to a city. No, this can't be. HANG THEM IN THE TOWN SQUARE. They traveled to a place. No, with supplies and participate in events organized by groups supportive of the Cuban government. Whe whether it's true or not, it probably isn't even true that they, you know, did something with the Cuban government or whatever. But even if it were, even if it is true, it's a government of a country. It's a so the [ __ ] what? You went over there and you brought medicine to people that the US has besieged and you even if they were talking with the Cuban government. Fine.

[00:06:20]It's so repulsive that these pedoterrorists that run Washington are like you went to another country and had the gull to try and bring medicine to babies and old people and we need to imprison you for that. It is so wildly [ __ ] up. [ __ ] a political streamer on Twitch, has built a large online following through commentary on US politics and foreign policy. Fox News noted, and by the way, they're quoted from Fox News because Fox is one of the only places to cover this [ __ ] It's [ __ ] sad. One of the most pathetic news outlets in the world is where you have to go for this article. Fox News noted that some of his remarks have drawn criticism from the White House officials. What? He said something the White House didn't like. Oh my god.

[00:07:02]Okay, now I'm on board. Now, I think he should be in prison. He said something the White House didn't like. If you're not saying something the White House wouldn't like, then you're doing life wrong. Okay? Especially now. If you have failed to say things that upset the White House, you're doing life wrong.

[00:07:21]Fix it. Fix it now. The report cited social media post by [ __ ] about his Cuba trip. Oh, no. He said he was bringing medicine to Cuba and comments he made during a live stream criticizing a justice department indictment involving former Cuban leader Raul Castro and Trump administration policy toward Cuba. He criticized the president and the president of policies. Oh my god. This guy is like a real super villain. Again, they have not been arrested. A subpoena is like a factf finding mission. But I'm I'm jumping to the reason they want these subpoenas.

[00:07:56]the reason they got these subpoenas, not because they think they'll find anything that impressive, but because they're hoping the person will stumble into a lie, will accidentally lie about one thing or another. Because when you're grilled on every detail a week that happened several months or years ago, guess what? You're probably going to stumble over something, get something wrong. Then they can say, "Oh, you lied to a federal blah blah blah, and therefore you're going to prison." And by the way, the real reason that they've been after media is Gaza. Hassan [ __ ] and Medadia Benjamin have been harassed or connected to harassment at airports re in the past year. One of them, Hassan [ __ ] reported that he came back from a trip. This is long before the Cuba trip.

[00:08:40]He came back from a trip and a Chicago hair they pulled him aside and brought him into a room and grilled him for 5 hours about where he where he went and why he went there and whether he has connections to Hamas and that kind of [ __ ] So this is way before the Cuba show. That's what I'm saying. This is not really about Cuba. This is actually about Gaza. But they are hoping they can get nail these people on the Cuba trip.

[00:09:00]Medadia Benjamin Max Blumenthal reported that when he was pulled aside at the airport and interrogated for several hours, they put a list of people in front of him to say, "Do you know any of these people?" And at the time, he didn't recognize any of the names. But then he looked up later when he got home he looked up it turned out they were asking if he knew media media Benjamin they've been after media and Hassan [ __ ] for a long time and if you think about it in terms of the Gaza is a [ __ ] genocide those who are saying that Hassan Piker's probably I I'd say he's the big he has the biggest audience of someone who's saying it like on a daily basis I think again I don't watch his stuff I've seen clips but I think he is saying it regularly. So I don't mean, you know, Joe Rogan has on guests that say like Dave Smith that say it occasionally, but I'm talking actually drumbeat Gaza is a genocide. Hassan [ __ ] probably has the biggest audience.

[00:09:54]And then Medadia is the one of the only ones or at least leading the only group that's like in Congress walking up to Congress people and saying, "You're funded by Apac. You have blood on your hands." She's standing up in Congress.

[00:10:06]So she is the most in your face. So, you've got the biggest audience person and the person who's most in their face of the political elite. OFAC officials are examining whether members of the delegation stayed at a hotel included on the State Department's Cuba restricted list. OH MY GOD. I can't imagine what kind of evil, dastardly, nefarious beds are at that hotel. I can't I can't imagine what goes down at that hotel.

[00:10:36]Yeah, you listed a dumb hotel on your dumb list. It shouldn't [ __ ] matter.

[00:10:40]But of course, that's that's the type of [ __ ] they use to imprison people. So, this is all an effort to imprison left-wingers and leftwing activists and those who speak out. Legal experts say the inquiry could remain a civil enforcement matter handled by OAC or potentially develop into a criminal case under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. This is repulsive and it's fascism and it's how fascism works. So, what can we do? Well, one thing we can do is speak up about it.

[00:11:09]Another thing we can do is protest. For those of you I know I'm probably not the only live streamer you watch in the comment threads on the other ones, if they're not talking about this story, you should say they need to because we need to raise the alert that this is what's happening to left-wingers in this country. It looks like the Trump administration is investigating me, Hassan [ __ ] and others for a trip that CodePink and other groups organized in March to bring medicines and medical supplies to Cuba's pediatric hospitals.

[00:11:40]Basically, we want to help save babies.

[00:11:42]And that, according to Trump, is something that must be investigated because how dare we want to help the Cuban people? How dare we love the Cuban people? And if indeed the charge is that we love the Cuban people, guilty.

[00:11:57]Because I have loved the Cuban people for decades, ever since Cuban doctors saved my life in a remote village of Africa when I was dying from malaria. I love Cuban art. I love Cuban culture. I love Cuban music. I love salsa dancing.

[00:12:12]I must admit, I'm not a great fan of Cuban food. But in any case, I want my government to leave the Cuban people alone, not to be strangling them by keeping oil from the island, by sanctions that are so brutal. I want them to stop threatening to invade Cuba.

[00:12:30]I want them to listen to the global world opinion that every single year at the United Nations overwhelmingly says, "Lift the blockade." So, please, if any government officials are watching, don't investigate us for trying to save Cuban babies. Investigate yourselves for what you're doing to kill Cuban babies and make lives of the Cuban people miserable. Leave Cuba alone.

[00:12:54]>> So, yes, please show your support for uh media. To me, this is a test balloon to see if they can get away with just prosecuting uh left-wingers for speech, for saying things they don't like.

[00:13:09]Literally, in the request for the subpoena, they said Hassan [ __ ] said things we don't like. Media Benjamin, she is so forthright and CodeBank is so forthright with their actions, what they are involved in, what they do. They live stream all of it. Like their actions are speech. Their actions are to go to Congress and say, "You're supporting genocide. You're murdering people."

[00:13:31]They're not like arming people. It's so clear what they're involved in is freedom of speech. And this is repulsive. You really, they're going after, and outside of the left wing, ignore the leftwing thing for a minute.

[00:13:43]They're just they're going after people that bring medicine to the people the US empire is murdering. That's what it is.

[00:13:50]That's who they're going after right now. This is from Ken Clippenstein.

[00:13:54]insane pre-rime strategy unveiled for leftist quote unquote extremist which extremist doesn't mean anything when they say it. I mean it doesn't mean anything when most people say it but when the Trump administration or right-wingers say extremist it means rational human being. It means someone who thinks capitalism is destroying the world because it is. It's someone who says the US murders innocent people because they do on a daily basis. So basically, if you have a rational, logical, working, functioning brain, then you're quote unquote an extremist.

[00:14:27]The White House declared war on the American people today, labeling its political opponents as terrorists, including left-wing extremists. The new label also claims that there are deepening alliances between the far-left and Islamists. What they mean by Islamists is pro Palestine protesters.

[00:14:45]Islamist doesn't mean anything either.

[00:14:46]It just means if you support Palestine, you're Islamist. The language is contained in the White House's newly released National Counterterrorism Strategy is the first national strategy to be unveiled since 2021 when the Biden administration issues its issued its document. The strategy identifies the left-wing anti-fascists, anarchists, and radically pro-transgender.

[00:15:09]Yeah. the radical protransgender, the radical folks supporting someone else's right to exist ideologies as threats equivalent to jihadi groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS or narot traffickers.

[00:15:23]So they're equating being left-wing with being al-Qaeda counterterrorism Sebastian Gora. He said, "Currently we Oh no, this is what the strategy says.

[00:15:33]Currently we face three major types of terror groups. narot terrorists, transnational gangs, that's one. Legacy Islamic terrorists, that means if you have a sign that says free Palestine, and violent left-wing extremists, including anarchists and anti-fascists, that means if you have a sign up that says uh ICE is bad, that that makes you a violent left-wing extremist anarchist anti-fascist. By the way, if you're anti-anti-fascist, what does that make you? Oh. Oh. Oh, I think you might. You're getting close.

[00:16:11]The strategy hints at a crackdown of pro Palestinian groups in a section laying out five functional aspects beyond the previously named three categories. It warns of new and deepening alliances between the far-left and Islamists.

[00:16:24]Really, what it's laying out is ways that they could go after these groups or people that protest for a free Palestine or whatever. go after them for pre-rime, saying, "Yeah, they haven't done anything yet, but they're a terrorist group and they're planning they're planning on making an even bigger sign that says free Palestine." And at that point, what are you going to do? You know, at that point, if the signs get any bigger, then the whole the whole government will fall. You got to admit
