The speaker recounts an incident where their phone was allegedly compromised using Pegasus spyware. This occurred shortly after the speaker delivered a speech at the UN Security Council via Zoom on the anniversary of the Nord Stream pipeline bombing. In the speech, the speaker criticized the notion that Russia was responsible for the bombing, calling those who believed it "dupes and idiots" and labeling Germany's decision to allow the pipeline's destruction as self-destructive and economically damaging. The speaker also referred to those who supported this action as "morons." Upon returning home, the speaker received a notification stating "MacBook the now controls your iCloud account." Concerned, the speaker contacted their IT specialist, a former military intelligence operative. The IT specialist expressed shock, stating that even they couldn't achieve such a level of access, and identified the intrusion as the work of a "state actor" rather than an individual. The speaker concludes by expressing concern that their compromising material might have been accessed or that incriminating evidence may have been planted, suggesting that any future arrest or scandal would indicate they have become a significant threat.

They tapped into my phone using Pegasus.

Actually?

Yeah, that actually happened. So, when I spoke at the UN Security Council, I did it via Zoom and it was on the anniversary of the Nord Stream pipeline bombing. And I gave a speech and I gave it to them, you know, like you're all dupes and idiots if you think that this was done by Russia. And the fact that, you know, Germany would bend their knee and let them to wreck their own economy and now they're paying two and three times higher for energy and to go along with this and you're all morons.

And so, on the plane ride home, it said "MacBook the now controls your iCloud account." And I was like, "What? What is this?" So, I get off, I call my IT guy who is a former military intelligence. And he goes, "Oh my god, Jimmy, even I couldn't do that." And I go, "Well, who did this?" He goes, "It wasn't a person. This [music] was a state actor."

Yeah.

So, now they got me. They either have all my compromising material or they planted something. You'll know if I'm arrested or if some big scandal comes out, it's because I now have become an actual threat.
