That's the tie clip anyway folks we're live we're live and it's a very special day because
This is a special day every time this time because it's Friday ladies and gentlemen.
It's freaking Friday.
You already know what it is.
You know we found it here right?
Well it's Friday then.
That's right folks it is freaking Friday and we celebrated here because Friday is a very
special day where our forefathers fought long and hard to ensure that we, right now in 2026,
get to have the weekend for at least for as long as we do, we celebrate it. If you like the weekend,
think of union, think of trade unionists, associate with the communists and anarchists, those who poured
blood, sweat, and tears on the journey to make sure that you can get autonomy, a sense of dignity
in your life. On Fridays we celebrate that with Evaculate Vibes no matter what happens.
Ladies and gentlemen you already know
well times might be a little shaky, a little shitty. Ultimately
when the going gets tough the tough get going. That's right folks it's freaking Friday okay
It's Friday, May 22nd, 2026. I'm a Sompiker. I'm alive. It is 66 degrees and sunny here in
Los Angeles, California. Coming to you live from stolen Tongva land.
Is that a velvet jacket? Um, I don't know if it's no, I think it's quarter. I don't know if it's it's not velvet. I don't think anyway.
Um, yeah, it's uh, it's freaky Friday. It's casual. I'm wearing a more and more casual fit. I got the Japanese Communist Party 70th.
Um, historic, I don't know why it's the 70th. Is it like the 70th anniversary? Because then
it was like many, many years ago, I guess, but, but yeah, I'm live. I'm alive. You might have
noticed that, uh, it looks a little bit different as opposed to yesterday. And that's because it
looks nicer. Love the suits, but I miss your old drip. Not gonna lie. Yeah, well, it's
fine. I had to, I had to get suited up and booted up a little bit, you know, um, and
any case is part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news, but as you
already know, I'm a freaking shut ass loser. And as a freaking shut ass loser, I don't
have anything going on in my life. Anything of note, anything noteworthy I don't have in my life.
Not even a little bit. Better change to fit the windmation, cred to the politics. Yeah, exactly.
I mean, it's part of it. It's part of it. But some people are not having such a good time. Let's be
real. One of those people is Tulsi Gabbard. She just quit her job. So we'll obviously be talking
about that. I mean, that's a big deal. Right? It's a big deal. Yeah, we'll do that in a second.
Another woke-based warrior has entered the fray, has joined the ranks of anti-imperialists.
What does that mean?
We shall find out.
I hope it doesn't mean what I think it means, which is either a possible false flag attempt
followed by to create justification to innovate Iran.
Hopefully that's not what takes place.
Carabare bonfire coming over for lasolator.
Yes, sure.
Your mom's making it, right?
Yes, so don't you dare celebrate this
because I do feel like there's gonna be a lot more.
There's gonna be a lot worse shit
that's coming down the pipeline.
Okay, so honestly, let's just get right into it.
Like I said, I'm a shut ass loser.
I finally caught up with Invincible, I finished it.
And it was great.
It definitely picked up after.
There were a couple episodes on the last season
that I think were simply not that good.
There were a couple episodes in the last season
were, uh, not drawn very well. They had like PNG blue lock season two style animation,
but then they, they picked it up again. Um, and I guess the final season is season five.
It's going to be coming out, I don't know when, but I really liked it. I haven't watched
the boys since like season three, chatters. If that's, if you guys are asking me about
the boys, I haven't watched it. I haven't watched, I followed up with fallout season
two as well. I just got started on it again. So I'll watch all of those things. I'll,
I'll get into all of that.
I'll eventually watch all of that
and I'll give you my takes on that.
But the boys is all right.
Like I just, I was such a big,
I was such a big fan of,
I was such a big fan of the boys
in the first like two seasons.
And then I feel like it dropped off a cliff by season three.
It got too lipped up.
And I don't mean that as a chud.
I just mean like it got lived up pejoratively.
If that makes sense, did you watch the pit?
I didn't watch season two of the pit.
I didn't like season two of the pit either.
Anyway, Gen V was better, but it got canned.
I don't think it got canned.
I think what happened with Gen V is
the main character died.
The main actor died.
He was very young.
And I think that's probably part of the reason why they were just like,
we're not going to continue with it. Right. Spoiler. No, like in the real world,
man, the person who is an actor, the person who was acting as the main
character died in the real world. No, it was canceled. The cast said it. Oh,
okay. Um, all this time you spend, watch TV, could be spent gaming on stream.
True. Uh, you're right. Uh, as a, as an Amazon employee,
My micromanagers are in the chat as always and they're telling me I'm not, you know,
making the best use of my time, uh, such as the way of a, uh, you know, modern day monkey
such as life. Okay. Camera looking nice today. Yeah. It looks a lot better.
We did a little bit of color correction and stuff. So I'm, uh, I'm, I'm happy.
It's a little bit darker, but it is what it is. Right. Um, anyway, what else?
What else? What else? I mean, not much else going on.
Like I said, it's going to be in New York tomorrow.
I have a lot of stuff happening in New York, as you guys know.
So we'll talk about all of that and more.
What does this mean for Iran?
Trump supported his cratering.
Irish audit immunity.
Trump, J6, slush fund.
EFDA 84, no war with Cuba.
New York City.
Tomorrow, get in now.
Okay. Okay. When are you coming home for hamawi? There's a rally next next Sunday and I'll
be there for that. So I'm going to come back. Oh, well, there it is. There's the fucking
and there it is. Who's ready for the rally with Osama Han next week?
There it is.
Did you see Mamdani's FDR-style polling? Check PIX 11, a local news station. Yeah,
he's unbelievably popular. Zoran don't even fuck with you no more,
Anki didn't he you for his stream? Yeah, I think I think that he wanted to do
something where people would pay attention to just the stream and not the
fact that he was doing it with me and have 750 million articles written about
how he is the worst anti-Semite and how he is partnering up with Osama bin Laden
to unveil his new initiative, which is precisely what New York media would have done if he
were to do it with me.
And instead he did it with someone who doesn't have an ADL page yet.
But he's regretting that now.
I mean, yeah, it didn't end up launching very well, but it's growing pains.
I think it was pretty good overall.
Like I've said, if there's a politician who could technically do this consistently, it
would be Zohran, Kwame. Oh my god, what is this gut? Oh my god. Oh my god. What is happening
here? I couldn't even read the fact. I know this clip is about Donald Trump being like,
I'm a piece of shit, father, and I hate my stupid loser son. Fuck him. But it was, it
was a lot funnier is that this guy's gut is just so prominent in this video. What the
Rick, belly button protruding, Barney Frank, nipples protruding.
He died disrespectfully, right?
Okay.
Well, guess what?
This is also disrespectful.
You got a homie back there behind you with this tummy's nipple protruding, you know?
That's awesome.
That guy's got to be a cop, right?
I love guys like this.
I just, am I weird for this?
Before you guys say yes, hear me out.
When I see unique bodies like this, I love it.
I genuinely cherish it.
Like Stephen Chung, Donald Trump social media guy, he is perfectly shaped.
And when I see someone like this with a tummy nipple protruding a belly button that's just
like, I mean, he's looking M preg.
I'm like, that's awesome. Because anyone can abuse GLP ones and peptides and steroids and
look sexy, right? Anyone can do that. But building a body like this, because you know his belly is
rock solid, okay? It's all fat, but it's also definitely rock solid, right?
Did you use the AirPod mic to record this lol fuck did the recording sound terrible
on my end?
Because some piper people, lesser employer, the first, are insensitive, how on the start
of that odd moment where they think oh we finally have converted.
How did that happen?
What the fuck why does this sound so tinny?
Oh no.
How does this keep happening? I'm a fucking professional broadcast. I wish they would have told me
You made the front page of the Danish news. Yeah, I saw
I don't know why I really wanted to read this article, but I couldn't get past the paywall
But it's modernity there can hon red the din americans kevenster fleurge
and
for some reason like
For some reason, this is it. Can he save the American left? That's what the title is. I'm Dutch. But I couldn't read it at all. I just.
Modernity there my favorite Dutch newspaper
Isn't this picture owned by a magazine. Yeah, I don't know I guess they have different IP rules in fucking
Benlem
in
Danish, oh, it's Danish. Sorry
Oops
I fucked up Dutch equals Danish. You learned it here first. It's all the same, bro. Come on
I cannot be cannot be racist against Scandinavians for a brief moment
I'm gonna be very sincere. Okay, all of the countries that are up there. They're all the same
Okay, they're literally all the same you have robust social safety nets
Everyone will literally argue till the end of time about how different and unique
their culture is. I'm an American, I'm fucking stupid. From where I'm standing, it's just like,
all of that is the same to me, okay? And yes, it's all the Netherlands. It's all Scandinavia.
People are like, no, Netherlands is not Scandinavia. I don't care. It's all the same. It's that thing.
And when you point to that thing, everyone understands, okay? Like, when you point to
that thing, everyone understands exactly what you're talking about, which is like,
like the tall Europe whites, okay? They're taller, you know, Vikings in the history and
robust social safety nets, like somehow social democracy worked over there, okay? That's
it. It's just like, it's bikes, bikes, there's bikes everywhere too. You're embarrassing yourself.
well no I know I know I know I mean I'm joking but I'm also kind of not joking
you know what I mean like everything everything north of here I'll I'll I'll
pull up a fucking map of Europe okay
you're a papa you're a you're a papa okay
Hold on fuck
Actually, you know what let's do map of Europe images, okay, okay, hold on hold on
Open image a new tab
You know edit image
With Adobe Express
Okay, what the fuck is this?
Remove background?
No, I don't want to fucking- what is happening, man?
What- why?
Why can't I just- why can't I just draw on shit with Adobe Express?
None, none.
You use Adobe Express?
I don't know.
Look.
Look.
Okay, anything, anything north of Germany, including the Netherlands, okay, excluding
the United Kingdom and excluding the Balkans is Scandinavian, Nordic, whatever the fuck,
okay?
Like Norway, Sweden, Finland, these countries, Denmark, Netherlands, all of them have the
same vibe, okay? Or Baltic, sorry, did I say Balkans? Fuck, I'm fucking up today, okay?
A hard start, hard start. So, from my perspective, if I were to just like, chop up a region,
if I were to say like, oh, this is, there's this, this, this region here, like Denmark
and the Netherlands, I think fits in the, the, the concept of, of like Nordic adjacent,
Nordic style, Scandinavian country. Okay. I know it's technically not true, but everything
past the point of Germany, like everything north of Germany that isn't an Eastern European
country, like considered an Eastern block country, Eastern European country is they got
the same fucking vibes, right? They got the vibes of a country that drives, that drives
to work with bikes, great public transit, uh, so robust social safety nets, social democracy,
uh, and, and they all have like similar either tall, okay? And they have just genuinely very
strange food choices that I don't personally understand because I don't eat a lot of seafood.
And even if I were to be a seafood eater, I feel like the type of seafood they eat over there is is very weird, right?
Like these guys eat as though the Vikings are about the rape and pillage the land again, even though they are the Vikings themselves, right?
Right? Like, you know how sometimes people will say like British people, the war is over,
like you don't have to eat like this, right? It's even more weird in these kinds of countries
where they eat as though there is still a war going on, but the war is in the 12th century.
You know, like all my favorite type of food is onion on a piece of bread and also if I'm
feeling a little crazy, I will go and open up my tin can of fermented fish.
That's not allowed for travel. It's not safe for travel because it's basically a biohazard.
It's like what why are you eating like this? You know what I mean? You don't have to eat salted
fermented fish any longer. Yeah, this is we're in 2026. You don't got a fucking Taco Bell.
What the fuck are you doing? Get a Taco Bell. Open up a Taco Bell. I feel like if they opened up
Taco Bells in these countries that I call broadly Scandinavian Nordic countries,
it would, it probably would kill half the population honestly because they would be like,
what are these flavors? I've never had one. What this is this flavor? This is not like
my regular meal of one slice of toast. And also sometimes if I'm feeling fancy it fermented fish.
No, it would kill them like introducing a new germ to the Indians. Yeah.
But yeah, all these countries, from my perspective, as a stupid American, and I recognize it,
like I'm not intelligent. I'm an American, okay? And I think that that's just how it
goes, right? When you're an American, you're kind of dumb, and it is what it is. You just
are not supposed to understand geography. Oh, Greenland and Iceland also, obviously,
a part of this equation as well. They also are like kind of Scandinavian Nordic, like
it doesn't you know like they're all the same like it's all Viking countries to a certain degree
to varying degrees and the more you move away from the heart of like Viking country which is
obviously this area right here the more you move away from that the more like Slavic you become
the more Eastern European you become like I know while I was having this conversation there was
probably like the eight Estonians that are in the chat that are like really excited right because
they were thinking, now is our time. Will he say we're a part of it? No. If you're a Estonian,
you're not a part of this equation. You are Eastern European. Okay. I know that there was
like Latvians maybe, maybe some Estonians that were like, will he say we're also part of this
like Northern Scandinavian equation? We're kind of like that, right? We're Estonia.
We have internet. We have, we do vote by internet. I mean, think about how cool that is. High-speed
broadband, Estonia, 56% women in the country. It's fantastic, right? Come on. It's not like
the rest of those nasty, rest of those nasty Eastern European countries. We're different.
It's like, now you're Eastern European. Enjoy your fucking sexy women. That's, you know,
majority women country, enjoy your country with high speed broadband.
But, you know, from a dumb American's perspective, it still doesn't, it doesn't, you know, change
anything for me. More internet than Poland is true. EU persona non grata visa status now.
Oh my god, they have a Reddit look look look look look look look this is
Why is an Estonia considered a Nordic country? They have strong ties to Finland
They also follow the Nordic model and besides Estonia has nothing to do with the other Baltic countries
I fucking knew it
Hasan's entire take on the Nordos own bad food hot women. I mean, some of the coolest
people too. I feel like this entire zone is comprised of people who like to go to raves
and have like unbelievably woke opinions on a litany of issues and then like straight
up the worst kind of foreign policy you've ever seen or heard because they're just like
terrified of the USSR. Obviously, this is mostly Finnish people that I'm talking about.
Like they'll just be like, I'm actually a real communist. I'm a communist. I love communism
except I will fight to death to, to oppose the Russian Federation because they, they
want to do the USSR again. And that means they're going to come and invade. So I've
been training in the woods to make sure that I can I have my winter fighting
gear you know I'm training in the woods to make sure that we can fight back
against the Russian incursion.
CucumberFam have you ever been a stone eggs extremely nice can you please move
on from cringe European takes and talk about important stuff no
Yeah. American defaultism is so funny. Yeah, no, I'm just giving you my, my unvarnished,
very stupid American take here. Okay. That's just what it is. And obviously, as an American,
you know, my word is, is basically the new rules. Okay, that's how it goes. Sorry, we
are stupid, we're dumb, and we spend a good deal of money on our military, which means
when we have dumb ass opinions, you have to live with that dumb ass opinion. Okay, as
an, silence, you're right, an American is talking, an Amerifat is talking. Okay, nice
clip on tie, chud, chuddy, chud max, sir. It's not chud maxing to have a fucking clip
on Thai, okay? Anyway, you're literally Turkish. You can't even get into Europe. That's true.
That is also true. I am, but I was talking like an Amara fat right now. Okay, I was
talking like an Amara fat. It's true though. My family called me a Russian lover after
I said I'm a socialist. Yeah. Estonia is funny. They have one piano manufacturer and it's called
Estonia Law. How do you even know about Estonian leftist tropes? I'm online a lot. Also, I got a
doctorate in racism and a big part of that. A lot of people think when you get a doctorate in racism,
okay, when you're a doctor, when you get a PhD in racism, sorry, that
that it simply, it just means that you know how to be racist in non-white groups, but like,
are you actually brave enough to figure out how to be racist to white people?
You know?
As a PhD, my racism, a PhD knows no bounds.
Like there's definitely a good deal of like anti-white racism that I've also learned as
well.
I'm a learned racist.
Like, don't even get me started on the Balkans, right? Because when we get down to the Balkans,
I mean, those guys are basically, like, that's the OG, right?
Like, that is the most advanced version. The Balkans are basically like the,
the Balkans are basically the India of being racist dudes that live in the same exact neighborhood
and look the exact same and sound the exact same and eat the same exact food you know how like
in India there are so many different racism variants where you're like what the fuck is going on
that's the Balkans the Balkans are the the white guy version of that
anyway
why is India always catching strays? I mean, we're talking about racism. You think India
doesn't get a mention? I mean, what are you talking about? You got to give a, you got
to give a shout out to the OGs. You know what I mean? Like that's a, they're cooking
up new methods or when I say I dusted the tomes for the oldest versions of racism, that's
That's what I'm talking about.
So don't know why we went on this tangent.
We went on this journey, but fuck it, it's Friday.
Let's get started with someone who's not having such a great Friday, Donald Trump's
ugly-ass children who he despises
he'd like me to go
but it's going to be just a small little private affair and
i'm going to try and make it
i'm in the midst
i said you know this is
now he's talking about attending his son's wedding dude
and i can't stop looking at this guy
i know this is a really funny moment
where the president is is uh...
openly demonstrating his contempt for his ugly child.
But I can't get over this belly with the fucking, uh,
with the Audi protruding from the T-shirt. Like this is,
this is the type of perfect dad bod that, uh,
it, you know, to the uninitiated, it looks like he's M preg, right?
But that's not the case. This is the kind of gut that you
cultivate. You know, when people say like, Oh,
cultivating mass, like that is what this guy has done without even trying to cultivate mass, right?
This is natty. And you, even if you tried, you probably would have a hard time actually
developing a body shape like this. And that my favorite type of body specifically because
because it's insanely dense. Okay, that man is all fat, like that belly is all fat, right?
It's also the most dense man you've ever seen, okay? Like you slap that belly, you can bounce
quarters off that shit okay there is no there is no give to it okay there is no
elasticity to it it is just the densest material anyone has ever seen anyone has
ever encountered it's solid mass and it's all fat not even a little bit of
muscle
I get killed if I don't attend I get killed by the fake news of course I'm talking about what but he's
got a very
Person who I've known for a long time and hopefully they're gonna have a great marriage
In my head cannon. He's talking about his son
My son. He's a person I've known for a very long time
You know, maybe perhaps too long some might say some might say perhaps too long
very
I've known for a long time and hopefully they're gonna have a great marriage. Wait wait is he
wait is he talking about wait what is of course i'm talking about now but he's uh
got a very uh person i've known for a long time and hopefully they're gonna have a great marriage
Oh my God, I know he was trying to say, you know, he's marrying a person I've known for
a very long time, but he fucked it up. And it literally just comes out as him talking
about his son. You know, he's a, he's a person I've long, I've known perhaps for too long.
Perhaps for too long. Many, many people are saying, why do you know your son for this
long and I say, have you seen the guy? Have you seen him? He's not the best. He's not the best.
Yeah, Barney Frank, unfortunately, died the other day after going on the Jake Tapper show to be like,
hey, by the way, my final wish is that the Democratic Party pivot more to the center.
And then he died. And Barney Frank, of course, is like the famous recipient of the Trump rant.
Barney Frank was on the floor of Congress, Nipple's protruding, very disrespectful,
if you guys recall. And if Barney had stayed alive for like a couple more days, if he hadn't used
like his last moments on Jake Tapper, he probably would have extended his life, his, his, you know,
lifespan, maybe a couple days. So he could see the belly Nipple protruding right behind him,
him right behind Donald Trump, you know? Yeah, this is the, this is the famous Barney Frank.
Look disgusting. Nipples protruding in his blue shirt before Congress. Very, very disrespectful.
Wait, what the fuck? I wish I could put my mouth around the Audi. I mean, I mean, it
a perfect Audi. It is a perfect Audi. I kind of understand what Brace is saying. I feel like
that's the type of Audi. That's the type of Audi that needs its own space. You need to just maybe
get a little slit and just open up a little slit, like a little pocket, like a window,
So the Audi can just like protrude out, you know, like, boop.
I mean, give it some air, you know.
Am I crazy?
I don't know if I could build like star genie from Mario Party 4.
That's true, he does. I don't know what's going on there, but he really does. When you
suck on the Audi smoked milk comes out. In pediatrics, we would consider that a likely
umbilical hernia and probably intervene with surgery. Yeah, when we talk about sucking
on that little Audi, that's what we're talking about. It's a surgical intervention. It's
necessary. What is this, Donald Trump?
report, we have also, we have the, I think you need a place like this.
I love the chatter that immediately went AI.
Yeah, really?
Thank you
Thank you for informing me that Donald Trump
Didn't actually in real life suck the Audi of a man in the middle of the Oval Office
During his 12 p.m. Eastern news conference amidst taking questions from the motherfucking press pool
cool. This is fake? What? Let's be honest, would that be the craziest thing? Oh, he's
done. Yes. Yes, it would be megafaunix. Yes, this would literally be the craziest thing
he's ever done. If this was the, like, I know, I know you're trying to make a broader point
about like how crazy he is, but like, yeah, no, this would probably take the cake, I think.
On camera.
Anyway,
I'm a numbers guy. Okay. So I groked it. I chat you, P T. It chat you P T says this is not fake.
Okay. It's very scary times. Welcome to value attainment. Very scary times happening right
now. And I groked it, I chat, GPT it, and I found out it's actually real. Donald Trump
is sucking on the Audi. Donald Trump is sucking on the Audi of the guy standing behind him
protruding his belly nipple, okay? But honestly, I'm a numbers guy. And the way I see it,
the way I see it, if it's looking so tasty, you gotta suck on it, okay?
Yeah, Trump is giving Don Jr.'s wedding this weekend and will stay at the White House.
I'm expecting developments in the Iranian arena. Yes. Um, the real reason why Donald Trump is not
going to his son's wedding is probably part of the reason why Tulsi Gabbard is quitting. We're
going to talk about that in a second. Um, actually, let's just get into that. Uh, I'm skipping the
mom Donnie live stream thing and we're going right into Tulsi Gabbard is resigning as the director
of national intelligence. Now, a couple of things I do want to point out, okay?
A couple of things I do want to point out here. This is, again, alongside Joe Kent, these are two
of the highest profile resignations that have taken place in this administration, and really any
administration, right? I mean, obviously there's been high profile resignations in the past,
or out of American history, I can't, I'm sure there's been something similar to this in the past,
but like, it certainly didn't take place in the Biden administration. And I do think it's important.
I do think it's important to recognize that. I suspected there was probably some inside
pressure as well. I don't know if Tulsi Gabbard was like, I'm falling on my sword because I'm,
you know, calling out this administration's actions against Iran. But yeah, Nixon, okay, dude.
That doesn't, we're talking about something entirely different now, okay.
Now here's what's going on.
Is this a resignation born out of a principled commitment to the anti-war movement or is
this basically a firing by a different name?
And if it is a firing by a different name, is it still because Tulsi Gabbard took a
principled stance at times or would potentially present a threat to what the administration
is trying to communicate to the broader public?
Because Tulsi Gabbard famously is the anti-Iran, anti-Warhawk.
We should only advance wars that are beneficial for us.
Uh, not exactly an anti-imperialist, mind you, but, um,
the, the type of person kind of, not the similar Marjorie Taylor Green that says,
like, oh, we should actually only engage in wars that are good and, uh,
no wars that are bad.
I have a suspicion that she was forced out, but even though she was forced out,
My suspicion is she was forced out because internally she might have been causing a little
bit of a fuss, right?
Causing a little bit of a, you know, responsible for some chaotic moments internally.
So I could see that, I could see that being part of the problem.
All right, but let's take a look at what CNN is saying right now.
Hold on, I'm getting some text.
Since Tulsi Gabbard is resigning after about 15 months in the role of the Director of National
Intelligence.
Yeah, we're going to get straight to the White House and bring in Kevin Liptak with
the latest.
What are we hearing right now?
Yeah, and this is a significant departure.
We do now understand that Tulsi Gabbard has informed President Trump of her decision to
resign from the administration and what she is telling associates is that she is stepping
down because her husband is confronting a rare form of cancer and so that is her rationale
for stepping back from this very, very critical role at a very critical moment as the U.S.
remains at war with Iran.
She contradicted the admin early on in her hearing on Venezuela in Iran, and they've
supposedly kept their distance from any actual decision making most of the term.
Yeah, I think that they saw her as like a little bit of a loose cannon.
And I suspect that part of the reason why Donald Trump had her on board is because he
was building this like, you know, I'm, he was building this anti-war coalition, this
fake anti-war coalition. And for some that voted for him, just like he brought in RFK
Jr., he brought in Tulsi Gabbard as well to make it seem as though he was going to be
an anti-war guy, right? An anti-war president.
Now, of course, we know that he never was going to be an anti-war president, but maybe
he thought that she would play ball when she was in office or when she was in service rather.
And it turns out she had her own perspective. So I suspect that there were,
I mean, there were a couple of times where she directly contradicted the president.
And I assume that was enough for Trump once he realized the base is not punishing him
for not being anti-war at all. He was just like, all right, this is just dead weight.
This isn't to say, this isn't to say necessarily that, what is this, Hassan, you said Trump
would do the same thing as Kamal, Mustafa Kamal, Al-Tatürk, Al-Mamiori, Talsi, Loki,
support Israel in her own very obvious way.
Let the loose cannon slide in the prison, Hassan, you said Trump would do the same thing
as Kamal.
So what are you talking about?
don't get stuck locked l memory or e okay take a week off as president trump i
like that you were trying to stun lock me and then i read your take and you
were like don't get stuck locked musta became a lot of such
ways we're starting the bombing campaign inside that country
uh... this will be a significant departure for the administration and so
So Tulsi Gabbard telling the president today that she does plan to resign and that she's
stepping aside for this ultimately very personal reason, which is her husband's health.
Now that being said, this has been quite a tumultuous tenure, I think, for Tulsi Gabbard
over the course of this second Trump administration.
There had been clear points throughout the last year and a half when she did seem to
diverge with what the president was trying to do.
came to this job with a very clear anti-war background. You know, she herself is a veteran.
She talked before she was in this job when she was a congresswoman from Hawaii about
not starting foreign wars, specifically about not starting war.
Iran just said a deal that's not close. Israel said that Iran is planning a secret drone
strike on Israel. All signs point to the resumption of hostilities with Gabbard resigning. Yeah,
I think, I think Donald Trump is doing a classic move that we've seen play itself out
throughout history over and over again, which is cut out the people that are gonna maybe
be a problem that aren't like full blown regime loyalists.
Any kind of independent thinking is not going to get rewarded in this administration, obviously.
So he's hitting another purge.
So I don't know how many loyalists Tulsi has internally, but from Trump's perspective,
this is just to solidify his ranks.
This is a classic move, okay?
It's a long weekend, so perfect timing to attack.
Yeah, I think, yeah, I'll talk about Federman Handler.
Oh my God, John Federman has a pro-Israel handler, a Jewish handler that is making all
of his decisions and all of his communications as he like has a single John Federman out there.
Literally, dude, dude.
an insane story, okay? I mean, you kind of could have guessed that that was what was
going on.
It's another one of those stories. It's like, how do I describe to you what literally is
taking place without coming across like I'm deeply anti-semitic, okay? It's another Cars
for Kids ass story where it's like, I'm about to explain to you what took place with John
Federman who got stroked out and then like, and is being taken advantage of because he
doesn't have his mental faculties. And it's tough for me, it's tough for me to broach
the subject matter without coming across like I'm engaging in a deeply anti-Semitic conspiracy.
So I'm just going to let the facts speak for themselves. But that's not, we're not, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And New York, New York magazine wrote it. So just like, you can't even, what
do you, what do you say? Okay, we'll, fuck, I'm gonna get into that in a little bit. Okay,
I'm gonna get into that in a little bit with Iran. And over the course of this conflict,
She really did not have a very visible role whatsoever in confronting the Iran threat.
She had been essentially cut out of some of those conversations.
The president did seem to task her with some different roles.
You'll remember she was down in Fulton County, Georgia when the FBI was raiding a voting
office there.
It was sort of a strange sight to see the DNI down in Georgia when the FBI was conducting
that raid.
also put out a report sort of downplaying the role of election meddling from Russia.
Both of those, I think, meant to put her in the president's good graces.
But despite all of that, there had been these clear tensions.
And so now we're understanding that she is going to be leaving the administration.
We do not yet know at this point who may replace her.
This is a very, very critical job.
You know, it was created in the aftermath of 9-11 to try and coordinate all of the government's
intelligence stream. So at a particularly intense moment, it will be critical to get
this job filled. But at least for now, Tulsi Gabbard saying that she will no longer be
the director of national intelligence. Yeah, especially as the United States is at war
in the Middle East, it's notable that the director of national intelligence is departing.
I also just want to talk about sort of the policy positioning of where Tulsi Gabbard
was in terms of director of national intelligence. We heard at points that debate sort of, I
I guess it's not so much debate.
A difference in stated position
between what we heard from the president at that time.
Sometimes there's Steve Wittkoff
in terms of the ability for Iran
to get a nuclear weapons grade weapon.
And then she would often say
that the capability was obliterated.
I wonder for you who just follows this space so closely,
what did you see the most, as most significant
in her dynamic as D&I here?
And I think that the primary issue was that she just didn't really deliver substance and
kind of a purpose for the administration from an intelligence perspective and that John Radcliffe
at CIA did.
And so the contrast between them and the ability of them to represent the intelligence in a
way that, you know, I think that Director Radcliffe is just more.
Similar to the Pambondi thing? No. That's not similar to Pambondi. So Pambondi was taken
out in a similar manner to bovine bovino, right? On the Epstein stuff, it obviously got to,
it got too hot, right? And someone had to fall on a sword to open up a pressure valve
Trump decided to lay the responsibility, lay the blame on Pam Bondi in that situation.
Tulsi Gabbard, I think, is a different story. Tulsi Gabbard was, I think, axed, pushed aside
because Trump is trying to make sure that the ranks are entirely loyal to what comes next.
Trump, it is funny though, it's all women, I know.
Trump has been dead against every woman he has ever hired for some reason, it's true.
He literally came in and was doing girl boss fascism and just all of the women are slowly
but surely being fired.
And when you think about it, his chief of staff is also a woman and she has also regularly
spoken out against Donald Trump.
Susie wiles might be coming up. Okay. Up next. If I'm Susie wiles, I'm looking at the situation.
I'm like, maybe, maybe it's time for a graceful exit.
Artful in, but yeah, there's, I think there is a difference between Tulsi Gabbard and, and
Pambani. Like Pambani was unbelievably loyal to Donald Trump. Tulsi Gabbard is obviously
also loyal to Donald Trump, but she definitely had her disagreements with the Trump administration on
some of these issues. And I think that created an environment that was,
at least an environment that was unsustainable for Trump, because he needs maximum loyalty.
Why does he not fire Cash Patel, for example? Cash Patel is maximum loyal to Donald Trump.
Palsy Gabbard is fairly loyal to Donald Trump as well. That's why she got the job. But there are
areas where Palsy has stepped out of line in a public manner. And I don't think Trump likes
that at all. Trump is very much worried about stuff like that, especially if he's about to
make a big move in Iran, especially if he's about to go back into war with Iran. Or who knows if
if there's going to be a fucking false flag attack or something to get the public on board
with going to war with Iran or something, because it's like deeply unpopular currently.
You would not want, I mean this is, we will conspiracy shit, but deeply unpopular war,
it's cratering Trump's popularity even in his own base, it's like starting to chip away
his own base. People don't like that it's going on. People hate that it's costing them money,
right? At a time when there's already an inflation issue that actually led Donald Trump to win the
presidency. Donald Trump doesn't actually fix any of those problems. He turns around and exacerbates
the issue. I don't think Donald Trump goes into war with Iran straight up. There has to be something
that is an inciting factor that
that causes americans to reconsider whether or not this war with iran is
good or not
totally could see a situation like that
but because he's a cultist
and because he's a cult leader and because there is no real democratic
process when it comes to determining whether or not the administration takes
action
on the foreign policy side perhaps there is no
uh... need
for a sci-op or
false flag style incident
And regardless, it's clear Tulsi Gabbard's getting pushed out because there have been
instances where he has humiliated Trump by opposing something that Trump wanted to advance.
The Trump administration had a very coalition government approach to staffing where the
restrainer slash Tucker Wing got a bunch of jobs, Vance, Tulsi, Kent, Bridge, Colby, who
are now seemingly just being ignored.
Yeah, and not just being ignored, this raises the question of what exactly Tulsi Gabbard
is doing these days.
This was only a couple of days ago when Matt Zaitlin asked this question because, or I
mean, when Joe Kent initially resigned, sorry, not a couple of days ago, a month or so ago.
Joe Kent, when Joe Kent initially resigned two months ago, this was an understandable
question because Joe Kent was a part of the Tulsi Gabbard wing of like, we have to be
a little bit more restrained.
We shouldn't be going in waging war with Middle Eastern countries.
We've done this kind of military adventurism over and over again.
It's been a failure, and we mustn't repeat those mistakes.
Those were, that was part of the appeal for people like this, right?
That appeal was what allowed Donald Trump to present himself as a potential dove even,
right?
And now it's going away.
It's going away because he doesn't give a shit, because he doesn't need it.
He does not need this base anymore.
He doesn't need credibility in this space any longer.
And he would much rather have people stay completely loyal to his military actions.
All of them are Russian spies.
Fuck them, buddy.
Can I trace still here?
One of my favorite chatters.
You guys know it's gangie time.
Okay.
Trace still here.
If there is a foreign country that is currently intervening in American foreign policy or
has direct control over American foreign policy, do you think it's Russia?
Or do you think it's maybe another foreign country?
Seriously, saying, my God, this is Russiagate in 2026 is pretty crazy when Israel basically
fucking has its fist shoved deep inside of the asses of half of the people that are closest
to Donald Trump and also potentially Donald Trump and not even potentially, definitely
Donald Trump as well.
But there's one country that is playing a formative role in American foreign policy.
I don't think it's Russia, okay?
I think that country is Israel.
Reading the needle and then behind the scenes providing really value added because the CIA
has that value added, right?
They have deeper analytic core and then they have the operational capabilities that of
of course, OD&I doesn't have.
And so I think that, you know, it's the divergence of views
that were very core to who Tulsi Gabbard is and was
that never really synced and then just, you know,
the value added or lack thereof.
Wow.
I'm also curious, Beth, about the most recent incident
that drew criticism from both parties
regarding her visit to this elections office in Georgia,
she's obviously as DNI focused on coordinating
overseas intelligence, but there she is in Fulton County
at a domestic FB.
Yeah, this was, this was Tulsi being like,
no, no, no, Mr. President, I am loyal.
Like, please put me back in, coach.
I mean, this was a side quest.
It's also insane, right?
To send the director of national intelligence
to american states
to to potentially signal that you're invested in doing uh...
uh... some kind of interference uh... in in american elections is a wild thing
to do
but that is where we are
not saying fix it only asking because curious why the lighting looking dimmer
today we fix the lighting so it looks better it looks better doesn't it
it look better or does it look worse than yesterday? If the answer is yes, it looks better,
then stop asking. It does look better, by the way. I know it looks better. The color arrangement is
far better. By the way, another fact to consider here, okay, as we are looking at this topic,
Tulsi Gabbard situation, is that the intelligence community and even Central Command, which
is in the military side, have basically become a leaky faucet.
It's actually interesting that the Trump administration doesn't talk about it as much, because this
used to be a major problem in Trump one, where you had a lot of people in pivotal roles listening
Into these important meetings and then immediately go into the media and being like this is insane
We have to put a stop to it. These guys don't know what the fuck they're doing, right?
That's happening again right now if you noticed
Washington post with regular frequency
is
Engaging in coverage from the intelligence side where people that are either former
heads of cia or former heads of intelligence agencies or currently inside of the intelligence community
giving long and extensive leaks to Washington Post, even Wall Street Journal, all these
other outlets.
And the reason why they're doing that is because they too are in opposition to what the Trump
administration is doing.
This is what you do when you are in a moment of crisis where you know you want America
to be a domineering force.
These guys are not anti-imperialist by any means, right?
And neither is Tulsi Gabbard.
But you're in a moment of crisis where you have an understanding of like what we should
be doing, right?
And where we should potentially de-escalate or scale back.
It's very clear that the Iran war is not going well.
And the military understands that.
The intelligence community understands that.
They've given ample warning to the administration to not engage in this kind of action.
And it's very clear that the admin is saying, fuck you, we're going to side with Israel
on this. We're going to side with the Israeli intelligence on this. We're going to bring
in the foundation for defending the democracy guys into the negotiations process. Like they're
doubling down on it. It's very clear. So in that situation, you either do high profile
resignations like Joe Kent did, or you get pushed out if you actually warn the administration,
perhaps too much, like in the case of Tulsi Gabbard.
And those who remain behind leak all of these details and all of these assessments to the
press with hopes that this kind of stuff circulates in mainstream media.
And if we had a competent anti-war opposition party, they would make a big fuss about this
all the time.
But they currently are not, because the opposition party is the Democratic party, which is a
a feckless and inept and also pro-war party broadly, okay?
There are definitely a lot of Democrats out there who are frustrated with what's going
on, even the likes of like Ruben Gallego, right?
Like there are some who are upset with the way that Trump is moving.
But broadly speaking, because a lot of the Democrats are also Israel first, the national
party's outlook on here is also Israel first. So there's always enough votes to continue
supporting Israel's ambitions here, because that's what this is. This war with Iran is
not being waged for American interests. It's being waged for Israel's interests. And we're
in an impasse here. We're in a moment where America is like broader goals of being a domineering
force and being the hegemonic superpower are directly at odds with Israel's regional ambitions
of destroying Iran.
So there are obviously people who want to continue the American Empire, who see that
as a big problem.
And they keep bringing this up to Donald Trump, and Donald Trump keeps telling him to fuck
off and stay the course on Israel.
Bro stop clip farming.
What?
This is clip farming?
I think you and I have a very different opinion on, on what clip farming is.
What kind of clip could I be farming here anyway?
But yeah, Mark Ames also has a similar attitude here, uh, judging by, you know, John Hudson's
new coverage, right?
John Hudson delivered this scathing scoop yesterday.
The U.S. has depleted much of his inventory
of advanced missile defense interceptors
after expending far more high-end munitions,
defending Israel than Israeli forces use themselves.
There's a reason why like a lot of the CSIS guys
are freaking out and they're just like constantly telling
whoever will listen in the media
that like our stockpiles have diminished.
All of our peer and near peer adversary standoff munitions
that we developed, that we stockpiled,
that take years and years and potentially decades
to develop, to compile, are gone.
We expended it against Iran.
And part of the reason why we did that
is because we did not establish full-blown air superiority
over the Iranian airspace, it was contested.
So we had to use these standout munitions from afar.
We had to lob these missiles over and over again from afar
and we depleted our stockpile.
So we cannot do anything against Russia
if there was ever, you know, an imminent threat and we cannot do anything against China if there
was ever an imminent threat. So that's a huge problem for a lot of the, the, the, you know,
people on the military side who want to maintain American force projection capabilities, right?
So even from their perspective, this has been a wash.
But what's unique is, I think there are more people, maybe due to the incompetence of this
administration, there are more people who are naysayers who are willing to actually
resign or willing to make a big fuss about it at higher levels than the Biden administration.
The eye search of this elections office reportedly putting President Trump on the phone with
FBI agents as well raising concerns about, but yeah, oh, sorry, what I was gonna, what
I was going to say was Mark Ames has a similar assessment here says US officials leaking
to WAPO how badly Israel's weakening the empire shows growing resentment.
Yet Israel remains confident that there's no sacrifice Washington won't make for Tel Aviv's
benefit up to and including national suicide.
And so far, Israel's been proven right.
Yeah.
This is the death of American Empire.
Israel is accelerating the death of American Empire.
JD Pondon is real, okay?
And maybe even JD Pond Beebe is real, okay?
JD Pond Yahoo, the big Yahoo himself, has forced the hand of the current American administration
into a double suicide pack.
Actually, there are intelligent people who I do not align with at all ideologically,
because I don't want the American empire to be this domineering force.
I think that's very dangerous and deadly and not exactly beneficial for nations and
the periphery, the people that live in those countries.
And it's certainly not beneficial for the American working class either.
But these guys want that to continue.
benefit from it, and they're realizing that Israel has accelerated the demise of this
process.
Political interference, the backdrop, of course, President Trump's claims about the 2020 election,
and they're being fraud in Georgia.
And then, yeah, this is also, yeah, incredible scoop from John.
This was a really blistering, blind quote.
Israel is not capable of fighting and winning wars on its own, but nobody actually knows
this because they never see the back end, so the second administration official, okay?
There is a tremendous amount of resentment within the State Department right now against
Israel.
Obviously, there's always been like the two different, you know, the two different schools
of thought within the State Department, like, and the CIA, the people who are like, Israel's
not a good ally for understandable reasons.
And then the people who are like, shut the fuck up, and Israel high.
How dare you say that?
It's the most important nation on the planet.
And over and over again, the people that have said, and Israel high Israel's the most important
nation on the planet or have literally served in the IDF, for example, like almost Hoxthien,
or people who are ultra Zionists, like Brett McGurk, for example, have won that conversation.
Have told successfully every single other naysayer within the State Department to shut
the fuck up.
The Trump administration is not as competent as keeping the ranks tight as the competent
bureaucrats within the Democratic administration.
So you have, and also Trump is engaging in a lot more risky behavior that does actually
stress test American capabilities here.
And therefore, you're gonna hear more and more people come out anonymously with these
sorts of quotes.
Beyond that there were these conflicting explanations about why specifically the DNI would even
be there.
I mean, what does that tell you about her time as DNI and the ways in which her relationship
with the president evolved into her work?
Yeah, I think that, you know, the DNI Gabbard was in search of a mission that was of value
to the president. And, you know, there was this kind of joke.
Like they're talking about what she was doing in Georgia. Okay. I mean, it's, that's dangerous
and it's devastating, but that's not the reason why she's out. Okay. I don't think she had
a big issue with like manipulating American elections as the director of national intelligence.
Okay. No, the reason why, the reason why she got pushed out is because she found herself
at odds with the administration's overarching goals in Iran.
And maybe even if I'm being real spicy with it,
maybe she didn't like what the administration was potentially planning.
I can totally see that.
Very sad joke from her perspective where her initials,
DNI stood for do not invite to all these foreign policy meetings.
And you would see that she was completely absent from our logo
during the Venezuelan operation, during the Iran operation.
And so she was in search of a mission that was of value,
and this election fraud mission was something that,
where she jumped in to take up that mantle.
There are, from my perspective, having been the number three
at ODNI in my last government position,
I believe that her presence was counter to her authorities
I don't think that the DNI has authority for this kind of engagement on domestic election
issues, even when there is a potential foreign nexus.
And in the case of Georgia, in all of the years, remember, this is, you know, this is
many, many years, there has never been an accusation or an inkling of foreign activity
related to that outcome. And so, you know, it was just completely off the charts, weird.
And, and then, you know, just from my perspective and from many others,
beyond what a director of national intelligence should be doing.
Let's go to Brian Todd. Brian, obviously, this was a tumultuous tenure.
And before she served in the administration, her entire political career up until 2022,
she was a democrat and she was sort of non interventionist she spoke out against
u.s. foreign policy
then in twenty twenty four she flew to the republican party
and served
the president obviously
who's been more aggressive not only in iran but in venezuela and in cuba as
well
it's notable that her vision of u.s. foreign policy
not exactly aligning with president trumps
that's right uh...
boris and all she should be jailed
or given
She should be jailed. She should be jailed for treason. She should be jailed or given
the death penalty. That's my word. She's a traitor.
Huh?
I've never been a fan of Tulsi Gabbard, but that's crazy, chatter. What are you talking about?
Are you all right?
This is like, Tulsi Gabbard's, you know, Tulsi Gabbard got pushed aside.
I know her history well.
Okay.
I don't agree with Tulsi Gabbard on 99% of issues.
I think she is one of the most annoying cranks and one of the most annoying ops of all time.
Okay.
She was never an anti-imperialist.
He was never anti-war at all.
But on this issue, on the issue of waging war with Iran, it was bracketed in the unnecessary
war category for her, for some weird reason, okay?
It's very clear that her and Joe Kent looked at the situation in Iran and they were like,
we want to keep being the dominant empire.
What the fuck are we doing?
We got to cut, we got to restrain Israel a little bit.
We shouldn't be leaning into Israeli ambitions in the region.
going to hurt us and that's precisely what has taken place.
So even one of the, you know, even an evil, objectively evil person like Tulsi Gabbard
could still be on the right side on this issue and I think she is on the right side of this
issue.
I agree with Bing Bing Pow Pow, Pow Wow, she went along because of the money, yes, yes,
she's awful.
She's not a good person at all, but it doesn't matter in this moment.
In this moment, I think it's important to analyze what her contributions were that
led to her being pushed out.
I'm not gonna fucking find myself agreeing with the admin and being like, yeah, no,
she should get the death penalty.
What are you, crazy?
Yeah, she was a Trump administrator.
she was a trump administration appointee of course she's evil
are that is correct and it is unusual
for director of national intelligence
to leave office you know basically at the height of tensions with iran and
as this conflict has not come to a full resolution as of yet it is uh... it's
striking that she's leaving during that period uh... and again but i'll tell you
like this
anthony blinkin is a butcher
But if he resigned during, you know, at, at any point after October 7, if you resigned
or if he was forced out, I would be very curious to hear what he had to say. Okay. So even
the most dishonorable army psy ops person like Tulsi Gabbard could have more honor than
the likes of Jake Sullivan or Anthony Blinken. And I think that's, you know, part of what's
going on here. That's kind of what's going on here. This isn't a defense at Tulsi
Gabbard at all. I'm not a fan of Tulsi Gabbard. You guys know I've been intensely
critical of Tulsi Gabbard for her entire career, even at times when everyone
back in the day used to present her as like a leftist hero or an icon. But I do
I do think she got pushed out because she found herself at odds with what the administration
was doing.
That's what it looks like to me.
what it reads like to me up front. Trump is aggressively purging the ranks of all the
naysayers and tunneling in on this like maximalist pro-Israel and Israel high agenda.
Not only you can emphasize what Kevin said, he emphasized that she's been controversial
in a number of ways. As what Kevin mentioned, you know, when she went down to Georgia in
January, taking a look at what was going on there and trying to help with this investigation
into alleged voter fraud in Georgia.
That really turned a lot of heads simply because that was not supposed to be her role as the
director of national intelligence.
But also guys, remember after the war began in late February, the administration of course
attempted to justify going to war with Iran by claiming that Iran was rebuilding its nuclear
program and that it posed an imminent threat following those strikes in June of 2025, the
administration claiming that Iran was rebuilding its program and posed an imminent threat.
Well, she had remarks to the Senate Intelligence Committee less than a month after the war
began saying as a result of midnight hammer, that was the operation in June, Iran's nuclear
enrichment program was obliterated.
There has been no effort since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability.
The committee then essentially almost contradicting the administration's claim that Iran had posed
an imminent threat.
So she got in a bit of hot water for that again, that was a hearing in front of the Senate
Intelligence Committee less than a month after the Iran War began.
Guys, I've just been handed this, I can read from you, this is her resignation note that
we've obtained from Tulsi Gabbard.
Dear Mr. President, I am deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity
to leave the office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half.
Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation effective June 30th, 2026.
My husband Abraham has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer,
she writes.
He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months.
At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support
him through this battle.
Abraham has been my rock throughout our 11 years of marriage standing-
Yeah, I don't think this is the reason why she resigned, okay?
No one believes that, right?
No, I hope no one fucking believes that that like is the real reason I'm fairly certain
she could continue doing her job even with the bone cancer situation.
I do believe that he I'm not saying she's like faking that he has bone cancer or whatever.
I'm just saying that she's using that as a way to like exit gracefully when in fact
It's fairly certain that that Donnie Boye, uh, asked her.
Trump in New York for a rally for Mike Waller.
It's like bigger than your chest.
Name, address, and everything you want to know about a person.
They might even have a social...
Uh-oh.
They have a... that's to get into the invention.
But for voting, you're allowed to go.
Uh-oh, we're not gonna watch this right now, but I suspect this could this could be the the day
God damn how desperate is Mike Lawler? Holy shit. He is so scared
Mike Lawler is begging Donald Trump to come and do a rally
Clarify the day that he mentions your boy. Stop vague posting. Who's Mike Lawler running
against? A bunch of fucking centrist Democrats and also Effie Phillips-Staley. Donald Trump
has already attacked Effie Phillips-Staley by name, even though she was in third place.
He was in third place in the last polls that came out in this race.
This is like a small ass race.
This is a purple district that is very flippable, okay?
Donald Trump is aggressively trying to not only push for Mike Lawler to win his reelection,
his upcoming reelection.
But he's also attacking every Philips daily.
Trump is obviously aware of you but doesn't want to give you the aura. I mean it'd be an interesting moment.
We don't want open water. We don't want sanctuary cities. We have sanctuary and criminals.
Anyway, we steadfast through my deployment to East Africa on a joint special operations
mission, multiple political campaigns, and now my service in this role.
His strength and love have sustained me through every challenge.
I cannot, in good conscience, ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this
demanding and time consuming position. The letter continues here, quote, while we've
made significant progress at the ODNI, advancing unprecedented transparency and restoring integrity
to the intelligence community, I recognize there is still important work to be done.
I am fully committed to ensuring a smooth and thorough transition over the coming weeks
so that you and your team experience no disruption in leadership or momentum. Thank you for your
understanding during this deeply personal and difficult time for our family. I will
will remain forever grateful to you and to the American people for the profound honor
of serving our nation as DNI with love and aloha Tulsi Gabbard.
Meanwhile President Trump is keeping his military options open as the United States attempts
to work out a peace agreement with Iran.
But the administration says a deal isn't possible if Tehran pursues its plan to charge shipping
tolls in the street.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, deal's not possible as long as Israel doesn't want it.
be real. Okay. Anyone and everyone that looks at the situation goes, Oh, they're terms of
conditions. They're, they're, they're, their terms are, uh, you know, not something we
can get on with, but not something we can agree to the fucking bullshit. It's bullshit.
Anyone who tries to make it seem like Iran is being unreasonable here. And that's the
reason why America can't come to terms with Iran is also doing propaganda. This comes
down to one country and their ambitions. And it is not the United States of America. It
is Israel. Okay. Yeah. If Israel doesn't want it, it's a terms, it's a TOS violation. That's
precisely what it is. I'm not going to speculate as to why this the case, I'm just reacting
to what I'm seeing, okay? What is this? Andrew Day, I've generally been senior editor of
the American conservative magazine. I've generally been the we're going to attack, I've generally
been the we're going to attack Iran guy the past year, whenever people are debating possibility.
Now a friend notes, go barred out Trump not going to son's wedding, Trump canceling weekend
gulf trip suggests we are going to attack this time of predict no attack and no deal
can't get a comprehensive jcpo a style deal because the political constraints can attack
because of munitions constraints and iran's intact retaliatory capabilities agree question
marx's andrew day interesting perspective odds in percentage from a policy tensor is
war is ten percent fin deal is forty percent thick deal is fifty where fin deal means hormones
reopens in u.s. walks but no nuclear sanctions relief thick deal means an agreement is reached
on nuclear and sanctions. The U.S. would be stupid not to get a nuclear deal for that.
The U.S. would be stupid not to get a nuclear deal for that would mean a nuclear arm der
on a short order. Yeah, but the U.S. is stupid or led by stupid people. I think the, I think
the, I think these guys are wrong. I mean, we'll see. I mean, one of the other constraints
that we're not factoring in here is the fact that Hajj is taking place right now. That
is an important constraint because, you know, insanely important to Saudi Arabia's economy.
insanely important symbolically for the entire Muslim world.
There are Muslims engaging in the pilgrimage to Mecca right now in Saudi Arabia from all
around the world.
People come in.
It's obviously a big boon for the Saudi economy is a huge part of it.
But also, it's just, you're so white.
I don't think Trump would trigger, I don't think Trump would trigger an attack while
that's going on but I don't know I mean it would show that they are servants of
Israel 100% if they were to attack during Hajj
The irony is that the greater the lobbies influence, the more powerful Iran will be
in the near future.
Morthus is this war was engineered by Israel but did not serve Israeli interest in an intelligent
way.
This seems to be because, with the exception of a small cadre of world class Iran experts
in the country who have seemingly been marginalized by the government, Israelis really do not
know anything about Iran.
Their view of Iran is that it basically is just Gaza, but larger and thus can also be
destroyed like Gaza as long as the U.S. is there to assist.
I mean, I do agree that the Israelis are totally oblivious to Iranian capabilities.
Jeff Paul is live in Dubai with the latest.
Good morning, Jeff.
Yeah, good morning.
Ramadan was literally happening when they attacked the first time.
I don't think Trump always know what Hodges, guys, Trump doesn't need to know what fucking
Hodges, Trump has direct access to MBS. MBS calls him up and says, hey, there's a very
important religious thing happening in my country right now. Please don't fucking attack
Iran in the process.
Now, once again, Trump weighs that, and maybe he still listens to Israel because he is the
number one servant of Benjamin Netanyahu. So who knows? I'm saying it's a wash. I'm just
giving you what some of the factors that could lead to constraint, at least in the interim,
might be, okay?
Trump doesn't care about the fucking Muslim world.
Trump doesn't care about the religious symbolism of attacking during Hajj.
Trump, on the other hand, is a businessman, and MBS has a lot of money.
the only factor at play that Trump might take, Trump might take into consideration.
There's a lot of money tied into his own family's businesses.
A lot of Saudi money tied into virtually everything that this administration has done.
Virtually everything that this administration and their family members, their relatives
have actually been involved in.
Jared Kushner has gotten billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia.
gives, that allows MBS to have a little bit more clout and a little bit more motion in
these sorts of talks. That's all I'm saying. I consider myself to be on the Republican
spectrum, but I'm trying to learn more about the other side's views. Can you inform me
on the left side per chance being as you tend to align with more of their views? Yes, just
stick around and you'll you'll very quickly develop an understanding of where we're coming
from here. We're anti-war, okay? We're anti-empire, we're anti-war. That's somewhat of a conservative
value. I mean, the American conservative magazine and, you know, the writers there align with,
you know, someone like myself on this issue. I mean, I can even give you a Trumpian assessment
of it. You know, I'm an isolationist. I'm America first, right? I want America to focus
on fixing itself. I want the American government to work to build America out and to make it
a competitive superpower against China. Here, that's the most like right-wing coded way
that I can explain this to you. I don't think we should be intervening in the affairs of
other countries all around the fucking world. It's not beneficial for us. It's beneficial
for a bunch of woke, black rock, black rock oriented CEOs that live in New York or Miami
and they're all woke and gay. And for that reason, we shouldn't care about, you know,
what benefits them, what lines their pockets, we should care about the anti-woke real Americans
that live in the fucking countryside in rural areas, you know, we should be focusing on
building hospitals out there instead of spending all of our money to make sure that these woken
gay CEOs whose sons and daughters all go to these elite institutions of higher learning.
You know, they get to increase their profit margins year over year. I don't want that.
I don't give a shit about that. Well, I'm gonna fail. You gotta work on your elevator pitch. No,
that's my elevator pitch. Yeah, I want to fix the potholes. I want high speed rail. I want
America to be a competitive superpower with an industrial base. And every dollar that we're
spending right now, waging war, every dollar that we're spending right now, waging war with Iran
at the behest of Israel, a foreign country, also woke by the way, Tel Aviv, gay, Piper,
eight, all that good stuff that happens there. They have abortions too.
too, you know, Israel is the most woke country of all time.
And we are listening to the most woke country of all time.
It's fucking bullshit.
What happened to America first?
What happened in no new wars?
That's why I voted for Trump illegally a million times, dude.
Yeah, no peace deal just yet, but here in the gulf, there's definitely a sliver of cautious
optimism that they can get a deal done.
And that's in part to the fact that there haven't been any sort of major escalations
between the U.S. and Iran, and the fact that President Trump himself saying the talks are
ongoing.
We're negotiating, and we'll see.
But either we're going to get it one way or the other.
We're going to either make sure they don't have a nuclear weapon or we're going to have
to do something very drastic.
President Trump says he's giving the negotiation process more time and Iran says it's currently
reviewing the latest proposal.
We also know Pakistan is intensifying its efforts to mediate a potential peace deal
with the possibility of its army chief heading to Tehran in the near future.
But at the same time Iran is seemingly sending a very provocative message to Washington with
this new map. It shows large areas of control in the Strait of Hormuz that stretch to the
shores of the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Iran is now reportedly in talks with Oman
over working together to control the Strait and charge tolls. President Trump responding
to that report this way. Well, we're looking at it. We hear about it. They've negotiated.
They've had a relationship with them before. And we'll see. We have total control of the
the straight of our moves, as you know, with our blockade.
The blockade's been 100% effective.
Nobody's been able to get through it.
So we want it open, we want it free, we don't want tolls.
It's international, it's an international.
Just look at that beauty.
Oh my God, I can't even pay attention
to whatever the fuck Trump is saying.
You know what I mean?
I can't, I can't do it, man.
It's fucked up.
It's taken command over the entire room. It's so powerful, man.
Officials here in the UAE say that the U.S. has become central to every single Gulf country's
calculation. In fact, an advisor for the president here in the UAE says that before
the war, Iran's nuclear program was priority two or three. Now it is their number one priority
just sort of underscoring the close ties between the US and the UAE. Back to you all.
Thanks, Jeff. Thank you, Jeff. You're following me. I've been amazed at President Trump's patience
through this. It's awesome. It's framed respecting the filmmaker rule of thirds to naturally drawing
your eye to it. It's pornographic cinema. Yeah.
Oh God, my president, he's so restrained. Restrained is a word I think of when I think of
Donald Trump. It's great. Balancing on it, doing tricks on it. Sexual style. Yeah, he's so measured,
he's so restrained, he's so sober in his assessment of the situation.
He has clearly been trying to get this deal to happen.
He's been restrained, I think, in a good way, saying, I want to make a deal, but it's
got to be.

But it has to be the right deal.
It has to be the right deal.
The president's not going to be pushed into the decision if you listen to what's happening
from the Ronniers right now.
It doesn't look good like a deal as possible considering some of the stuff that they've
been putting out there.

army chief has arrived in Tehran for talks with senior officials, a signal that negotiations
between the U.S. and Iran may be progressing. He's been the point man in mediation efforts
to bring about a peace deal between the two sides.
Field Marshal Asim Muneer was welcomed by Iran's Minister for the Interior, Askandar
Momeni.
Muneer's latest visit follows a new round of high-level talks with Iranian officials
in Pakistan on Thursday.
Meanwhile, in breaking news, just coming in, an Iranian official source has told Al Jazeera
that a ceasefire on all fronts is the essential prerequisite for any future negotiations.
i told al-jazeera that no final agreement has been reached yet
and efforts are underway to bridge the gap between tehran and washington
let's head now to tehran speak to al-mikdad al-ruheid
on the dot uh...
we've just heard this latest breaking news about officials talking about
pakistan's army chief awesome in your returning to tehran suggest diplomatic
progress pakistan is the mediator has a vested interest in this process
succeeding
but the past year shown how despite diplomatic progress u s and israel
willing to attack and burn mediators. So we shall see.
No ceasefire unless it's on all fronts. But have we heard anything new from Iranian officials
regarding the talks with Pakistan now that Pakistan's army chief has arrived in Tehran?
Well, actually, we do have here from Iranian foreign ministry spokesman. He said, let me
We have a test from what he has said.
He said that the visit by Pakistani army chief is a part of the continued diplomatic process.
This does not necessarily mean we have reached a turning point or a decisive situation.
We cannot say we have reached a state where an agreement is closed.
No, that is not the case.
The focus of these talks is on ending the war on all fronts at this state.
There are no plans to discuss nuclear-related issues.
So same in positions and same in stands for the Iranian.
Here he emphasized the same idea that right now they are phasing the negotiations into
three or two phases, especially about the time being they're speaking about ending the
war on all fronts.
And the visit by Pakistan mediators is a part of the ongoing process about exchanging the
message between Iranians and Americans.
So what we do have right now is that Iranians emphasizing the same idea about their stance
about ending the war on all fronts, with the guarantees that this war will not be resumed
again.
Alright, just stand by for us, Al-Muqdad.
We're going to hear now from Al-Jazeera's Assemblyman Javed, who's covered Pakistan
mediation efforts extensively. Earlier, he explained how Pakistan's army chief is well
placed to handle these diplomatic efforts.
This is the second visit by the Pakistani Field Marshal, Asim Ali, who Donald Trump
has described as his favorite Field Marshal. He is somebody who has got the backing of
the Saudis, as there is a defense agreement under his leadership between Pakistan and
Saudi Arabia. He's got the confidence of Qatar from the region. He's got an open door
in China, as well as those links to Iran, and he's got a direct line of communication
with JD Vance.
So he is somebody who is in a unique position to have open lines of communication with all
of the parties who are required to build lasting peace in the region.
Now we can confirm that there has also been communications between the Pakistani Interior
Minister, who's been in Tehran for the last few days, and his Saudi counterpart just today.
There was a telephone call that was held between them.
And many analysts who I've been speaking to and government officials say that his presence
in Tehran is a positive indicator that there is some sort of deal or framework or agreement
in the making.
Now, we've been here before, there was a 14-point agreement that was floated, then there was
a flow chart of memorandum were understanding, then we're back to the 14 points and there's
some nine points that people are discussing.
But at the heart of it is still the nuclear issue, the opening of the Strait of Hormiz.
Iran insists on getting its assets unfreezed and an end to the Israeli aggression in Lebanon
and elsewhere.
So it is all up out in the open.
According to various sources in Tehran, there's major differences that remain, but there's
cautious optimism that while he is in town, there might be some breakthrough that both
sides could agree to extend the ceasefire and agree on a framework which would propel them
forward to reach a lasting peace deal.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington is cautiously optimistic about negotiations
with Iran, but he adds that an alternative plan should be in place if Tehran insists
on controlling the Strait of Hormuz.
We all would love to see an agreement with Iran in which the Straits are open and they
abandon their nuclear ambitions and so forth, their nuclear weapons ambitions.
That's what we would all hope for, and that's what we're going to continue to work on, and
And that's what work is ongoing even as I speak to you now in that regard.
But we also have to have a plan B. And plan B is what if Iran refuses to open the streets?
What if Iran decides we refuse to open the streets?
We're going to own the streets and we're going to charge tolls for it.
Okay, at that point, something has to be done about it.
Oh, my God.
So let me out of the way.
All of this stuff happened because you, by your own admission, leaned into Israel's
goals here. Like none of this stuff had to happen at all. I just want to point this out
because I feel like we've lost the plot. It's been like 80 plus days at this point.
So people might have forgotten what the inciting incident was. And that was America listening
to Israel's demands and being servile to Israel's needs. It's highest priority being
the destruction of iran thought that they could engage in a very quick in and out rapid fire
bombing campaign that would have decapitated the state and would have left iran completely
destabilized all of those goals fell apart and that's normal it happens in war right all the
best laid plans in war change the moment that the opposition starts firing back the moment
the belligerents on the other side start firing back, right? So then they moved into plan B,
which was, if we just keep up the pressure and we keep this consistent bombing campaign,
we can actually take out a lot of their strike capabilities and we'll be fine.
Okay, it's been 83 days, 84 days. America achieved zero of its military objectives. Iran
maintained more leverage than they ever had before. They now control the Strait of Hormuz.
They are collecting a toll in effort to gain some kind of restitution, some kind of financial
compensation for all of the destruction and the death that took place. It's perfectly valid.
It's perfectly reasonable. And any kind of serious diplomat would look at the situation and go,
Look, it's out of our hands. We can't militarily control Iran. It is an unambiguous defeat for
the United States of America. But every day that goes on, where Iran gets to maintain its leverage
and gets to enforce its legitimate right by way of bilateral commitments with other countries
around the world, is a day where the bleeding continues for the United States of America
as the hegemon, right?
RIP packs Americana.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
South Korea has been making some interesting, South Korea has been making some interesting
moves as well.
It's been one of those far away countries that also obviously is a part of this global
security scheme.
South Korea is suddenly broken from a caution in the Middle East policy to repeated denunciation
of Israel, including President Lee Jae-myung calling Netanyahu a war criminal this week
in reference to his ICC warrant for genocide in Gaza.
The statements also correspond with an energy crisis stemming from the war on Iran and a
decision by Seoul to appoint a special envoy to Tehran to begin re-engaging with it diplomatically.
That's a huge bilateral relationship.
South Korea is an American military base that is supposed to be a bulwark against communism
in the Asia-Pacific theater, okay?
It is.
That's functionally a military base for America.
And now, that country that is operated as a major foothold in the Asia Pacific theater
is now deciding, we are actually going to break away.
We are actually going to break away from the United States of America a little bit.
Or at the very least, we're going to break away from Israel, which is an extension of
America in many respects, or maybe currently the real dominant power in the room, at least
in the negotiations process and certainly in the Middle East and North African region
when it comes to American foreign policy decisions.
There are huge constellations of countries that depended on the Pax Americana maritime
trade system for their economic well-being and were suddenly thrown overboard by the
they feel they are no longer benefiting from the system. There is much less incentive to indulge
in pieties about Israel and other ideological topics that they entertain just because they were
important to the American elites. Now remember, Korea, South Korea, has actually engaged in
trade with Iran in the past. If you recall, when the Biden administration unfrozed some assets to
the tune of $6 billion, a lot of people in the Republican side were criticizing this decision.
That was actually Iranian oil that was sold to South Korea, and South Korea had paid for
that Iranian oil to the tune of $6 billion.
And America froze those assets.
America said, nope, flag on the play.
You are not allowed to trade with the nation of Iran.
You're not allowed to get Iranian oil and then give them money for this Iranian oil.
So South Korea already has had, due to economic needs, some kind of relationship with Iran,
and they're deciding to get back to it right now because there is no reason for them to
maintain any sort of allegiance with the state of Israel because Israel is responsible, because
they're smart enough to recognize that Israel is the reason why they're having an energy
crisis right now.
Israel is also the reason why.
america moved their fad interceptor missile systems
uh... to to i believe the united arab Emirates
so in twenty sixteen when south korea
took a gamble and got
uh... these sad missile systems
and destroyed whatever uh... relationship they could have with a
major industrial superpower in their backyard china
is this was very frustrating for china
what what good did that do for them
what do they get out of this security commitment
they lost
billions of dollars of economic activity is a direct consequence of
putting that missile systems in south korea
because china was like the fuck are you doing
now those that missile systems
Now those sad misisms are gone.
They took them out.
And South Korea didn't want them to take those missile systems out, they paid for it.
They even suffered economic damage as a consequence of taking those, and putting those sad missile
systems inside of South Korea.
And the American government's like, nope, you have no say in this process, we're taking
this back.
We're shipping these sad missile systems to the United Arab Emirates and to Israel potentially.
So if you're supposed to be a sovereign nation state, if you're the leader of a sovereign
nation state, and you're noticing that the American force projection capabilities are
diminishing and you are watching American security partners get destroyed in the altar
of Israeli ambition in this region, and you're also suffering directly with this unprecedented
energy crisis born out of the military quagmire that America has found itself in, you're going
say all right well we got to change some we we got to have a real attitude ship
we got to change our calculation here it makes perfect sense ask you about u.s.
secretary of state mark rubio and what he said there he said that they'll need
to be a plan B if Iran insists on implementing a new tolling protocol for
the Strait of Hormuz do we expect Tehran to respond to this well actually
this is two issues on what Mark Robb you have said but he said that they the plan
MP, which is mean that there's a new escalation on the strata form was so this type of
According to KJNOH, the South Korean government didn't even consent to the THAAD missiles.
Their military did it without the consent of the government because the NDA order from
America.
I mean, I don't know the exact details, but that wouldn't be surprising to me at all.
It's not like there aren't like we, we talk about it here in the West as though like everyone
loves when America builds military bases and, and, and, you know, totally avoids whatever
kind of sovereign ambition this, uh, this nation state might have. But there are always going
to be naysayers. There's always going to be, uh, you know, protests against these sorts of
decisions. You just don't hear about it. You don't hear about it because it, it, uh, directly cuts
away at whatever kind of propaganda America is presenting as like the number one superpower
in the world, American sovereignty and American hegemony, American sovereignty and American
hegemony, America is absolute, American hegemony is absolute, you get a bunch of benefits as
long as American hegemony remains.
What happens when American hegemony falls apart?
All of a sudden, all of these other allies, all these other regional partners, all these
other countries that are holdover states, puppet states, vassals for American imperialism,
have to recalculate this decision, have to recalculate these security commitments, because
no one at the end of the day wants to turn into a fucking missile sponge.
No one wants to be on the receiving end of American decisions that were completely outside
of their control, in the same way that, for example, Dubai was.
No one wants the idea of Dubai to be destroyed, or the idea of, rather, soul to be destroyed.
Language, for Iranian, is not acceptable.
That to what we learned from their previous instance, they are saying that their hands
on the triggers in any kind of escalation, when it comes to the strataformos, when it
comes to any and other round of confrontation between both sides.
And about tolls and the revenue and fees, they are saying that we are projecting, we are
experiencing that we are providing a security service for vessels that must pass safely
through that strategic waterway.
And just hours ago, announced that more than 30 vessels have passed freely with the new
coordination through the stratiformity, new coordination with the IRGC Navy definitely
and the authorities is there.
So what they, their response is that right now we are controlling that strategic waterway
with the new mechanism and new reality on that corridor.
So in type of threatening they are not accepting that and at the same time they are projecting
their new mechanism on that strategic waterway.
All right.
That's Al-Mikdadi Rehid.
Live first with all the latest from Tehran.
So much on the gun hundreds of activists who were on board a flotilla heading to Gaza have been deported from Israel
And they've been speaking about how they say they were treated after being detained KJ and no is a Korean jordals
By the way, he proves on Glenn D's and Jason's shows sometimes. Okay, nice. Oh
By the way speaking of
And by the way, speaking of Xi Jinping and his rise, okay, US paused $14 billion weapon
sales in Taiwan due to the Iran war.
Remember in this day and age, in this day and age, if you want to understand the Trump
administration, if you want to understand how to enforce whatever kind of sovereignty
decision you want to make, you have to be powerful, okay? Trump is not an ideologue.
Trump is not even ideologically a fascist. He's just a self-invested,
self-interested dipshit. And of course, fascism is the lane that he has found a lot of success in
at the domestic level, right?
An ideological NATO Atlanticist who wants to enforce American dominance would never
make a decision like this. Trump did. And the reason for why he did is because, not because
he personally loves Xi Jinping, even though there is a lot of reverence there, he does respect Xi
Jinping. But the reason why he did that is because he understands, after trying to wage
tariffs wars with China, okay? After trying to wage a war with China and then eating shit,
post-Liberation Day, as I told you would happen, he now knows not to fuck with China.
This is a move in restraint. This is a move to dramatically change the calculation
between the United States of America and China.
This is one of those instances where a lot of people will ask me like, is there anything
that you agree with Donald Trump on?
Or is there anything that you give credit to Donald Trump on?
This is one of those things, okay?
Yes, Trump is not an ideological fascist that requires reading and he's fucking functionally
illiterate. He's a fascist of convenience. It fills his needs. It's true. Okay.
So what he, what the new Navy chief said, this guy's also a real psycho. Navy Secretary Hong
Cal is a real genuine psychopath for the record. Another one of these like insane media guys
that Trump loves and has brought into a position of prominence. Anyway, he basically said, look,
we're pausing $14 billion of arms sales to Taiwan, which is obviously something that
Xi Jinping wanted. It's a huge blow to the DPP. Okay.
Okay, I don't okay, maybe that's how you say it. I don't know. Anyway, listen, Hong
Cao, this is a major ordeal. It's a it's a major W for for cooling the tensions in the
Taiwanese straight for sure. mainland China versus Republic of China conversations will
take a very different shape if America openly says, yeah, we're not doing like maximalist
defense contracts with Taiwan any longer, okay?
Sal confirmed at this Senate hearing days after President Donald Trump appeared non-committal
about the sale following his meetings with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
He spoke through Taiwan's presidential office told reporters on Friday that they had not
received any information about U.S. adjustments to the arms sale.
Now on the American side, they're trying to make this seem like it's a calculated tactical
decision not born out of like some sort of restraint or it's a calculated decision not
because like Trump had a meeting with Xi Jinping and he's abiding by Xi Jinping's wishes here.
But instead because of the Iran war and we need to expend our munitions against Iran,
I think that is a bullshit reason.
And I think the real reason, I think the real reason is because we've been here, let's
just watch the video real quick and then I'll get into it.
I think the real reason is because he's offering concessions to Xi.
He recognizes that he doesn't want to wage war with China, at least for the time being.
He understands that Trump understands power.
He understands the amount of power China has and he understands that there's no, there's
no utility out of fucking waging war with China or being a fucking China hawk.
Very shiwan, to buy arms from us and all of a sudden there's a pause.
I love that Mitch McConnell on his fucking deathbed is still like, but we should be waging
war.
Why don't we?
Why don't we do it?
are you hearing from the colonnades about the pause?
Chairman, I have not heard I have not spoken to Taiwanese. However, we are we
have done some military for military sales to them. And it's just right now
we're doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for
Epic Fury, which we have plenty, but we're just making making sure we have
everything. But then the military sales will continue when the
administration deems necessary sir. Put another way do you expect the sale to be approved at some
point? Yeah, Hong, Hong-Sau is unsurprisingly a total crank by the way. Oh yeah. Yeah, he's insane.
Hong-Sau once claimed that witches had taken over Monterey, California. He is a total
kook, failed Republican candidate who ran to represent Virginia in the House in 2022 and the
Senate in 2024 and lost both times. Has been named as the new acting secretary of the Navy and the
the tenth person hold that title across from five years president
uh... here he is warning about which craft
again it's you know we can't let it turn like this that there's a place uh...
in monterey california called lovers point
the original name was lovers of christ point but now it's become big they took
out the crisis lovers point
and it's really moderate is a very dark place now yeah a lot of rich craft in
and uh... uh... the the wick in
community has really taken over there.
And we can't let that happen to Virginia.
Virginia is...
Yeah.
That's the type of guy this is,
who's the secretary of the Navy, okay?
Senator, that would be up to the secretary of war
and the secretary of state, sir.
Yeah, well, that's what's really distressing.
Yeah.
Aloha, the US Secretary of Navy says there are positive weapons sales in Taiwan to make
sure they have munitions that they need for Epic Fury, which we have plenty.
There's a lie here one way or another.
You know, there are positive weapons sales in Taiwan unrelated to the Iran War, or there
aren't plenty of munitions, or both.
I think it's both.
But I think the reason why they're doing this is not because they want to preserve their
munitions. I do think that they're running out of munitions, however, but I think America
is stupid enough and has enough fucking munitions overall. If they have the, they want to continue
expending their munitions, they could and then still sell weapons to Taiwan. The real
reason why they're not doing it is because they are, they are worried. They're worried
about China. They don't want to, they don't want to piss off China. And they're also worried
about how much, how much munitions they have. You got to stop saying America is stupid.
It's going to be clipped and posted all over social media. Oh no. Will I draw the ire of
people once again? Because of a clip that's clipped out of context that would be crazy.
What do you want me to say? We are behaving in a stupid way. It's true.
Axios, citing US officials, Trump is frustrated with Iran negotiations and is now raising
the possibility of one final major military strike after which he would unilaterally declare
victory and end the war.
They described the negotiations as agonizing, draft proposals going back and forth daily
with little meaningful progress.
Declaring victory and ending a war are two different things.
One requires a press conference, the other requires Iran to agree.
Does Trump have the leverage to pull this off?
Iran spokesperson pushed back directly on growing U.S. optimism, warning that the Pakistani
Army Chiefs visit Tehran should not be read as a sign that a breakthrough is imminent.
The full position stated publicly today, not close to a deal, differences too deep to resolve
in weeks. The nuclear issue is not even on the table at this stage. Iran says that it
has a right to peaceful nuclear energy as an MPT member, and that's that. Meanwhile,
cutter, sent a separate delegation to Tehran today and Pakistan's army chief made yet another
trip, his third visit this week.
Someone in this negotiation is performing for the cameras.
Any questions?
Who and why?
Okay.
Wait, where were we?
Yeah.
So that is where we are at US pauses $14 billion weapon sales Taiwan due to the Iran war.
And that's their claim for it.
But I do think the real reason for why they're doing this is because they are offering concessions
decision paying because Trump respects power.
Trump is, this is one of the only areas where Donald Trump can sometimes edge out the average
like Anthony Blinken style NATO Atlanticist.
Okay?
Because an ideologue who believes in pure American domination would look at the situation
be like, fuck off, we're of course sending more weapons than Taiwan.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a little bit more pragmatic.
He doesn't give a shit about, you know, Xi Jinping being a dictator or whatever the
fuck the American Democratic Party-backed NATO Atlantis would say, and do, okay?
It's a much more cold, calculated, and violent way of looking at the world where instead
of trying to continue stress testing the capabilities that America has against a much more powerful
enemy, he's more pragmatic when it comes to shit like this.
Ironically enough, ironically enough, when it comes to Israel, though, he is a total fucking servant.
Did you discuss what the DHS said about Green Card Seekers? No, I did not.
So, in this circumstance, his transactional and pragmatic nature and his tendency to concede
against, you know, his tendency to concede in the face of power is leading him to deal
with China in a better way than I think Democrats have in the past.
Israeli authorities. Katrina Graham from Ireland. Speaking of insane countries that behave in
an increasingly more violent and belligerent manner, Israel intercepted yet another humanitarian
aid flotilla. And this time they were even more ruthless in the past towards the activists.
They made a big show of it as well. Bank of Eir did the classic bank of Eir thing and flexed
how much they were torturing this international humanitarian, this international contingency
of humanitarian activists.
Spoke to Sky News once she had arrived in Istanbul.
So we have been kidnapped in international waters.
We were kept for about two days on what we're calling a prison boat that was set up especially
for this purpose.
There were two prison boats that were used.
We know that on one of the prison boats, pretty much everybody that went through was brutalized
as they were being brought into the main area of the prison boat.
So there was huge levels of physical violence.
Multiple people got shot.
We've already had reports of at least 15 sexual assault, at least 30 broken bones, concussions,
broken clavicles, broken ribs. And the reality is that we know this is nothing compared to
what Palestinian people face every single day.
We've asked the Israeli authorities for a response to these allegations. We're yet to
hear back.
Some activists were taken to hospital in Istanbul for treatment. Photos posted online
showed bruises and injuries consistent with being hit by rubber bullets.
The flotilla included the sister of the president of Ireland also and they haven't released
as far as I know, yeah, I don't know if they released her yet or not, but yeah. Several
flotilla participants were raped in multiple cases. Sexual violence were reported among
the 428 global cement flotilla activists being detained by Israeli forces, according to steering
committee member Tiago Avila, who welcomed the release activists upon release.
cases. They are increasing the intensity. They're increasing their violence. They're
increasing the intensity of the violence. They're increasing the torture that they subject
people to. It's left unrestrained. They're becoming even more belligerent.
Media reported that some have suffered from fractured ribs as well as injuries from a
And guess what? The rest of the world is allowing it to happen, okay? The rest of the fucking world
is totally on board with this. They're allowing it to happen. They're terrified of incurring the
wrath of Israel and not just Israel necessarily, but America, right? And Trump doesn't give a
shit about any of this stuff. They're even with all of our anger, even with all of our frustrations,
even with all the protests, even with all the demonstrations, it just genuinely doesn't fucking matter.
So of course, from Israel's perspective, this is a flex.
Electric shocks or tasers and flotilla organizers have claimed to us that many people did have broken ribs.
I was immediately grabbed by five IDF police officers, Israeli police officers.
They put my hand down and started beating me.
one of them had gloves on with hardened plastic and he started punching my face and it's well shut.
The AFCG one of us has been beaten with electric shocks with a lot of hand bruises.
Many people have broken ribs, many people can't go.
Then after that they went us to prison and it was the most barbaric experience I've ever had.
Katrina Graham was the woman seen in a video shouting at the far-right Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gavir
as he berated the activists while in Israeli detention.
She then had her head shoved to the ground.
And when I saw Ben-Gavir passing us by, when we were bringing process at Ashnard Port,
I did not want to stay silent in the face of everything that he has done
that is absolutely horrific to the Palestinian people.
So raised my voice and said free Palestine and immediately there was a very rough crackdown
and I was dragged away into isolation.
Ben Gavir's actions have been widely condemned,
including by the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu,
by the governments of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain,
and even the Trump administration,
normally the most steadfast defenders of Israel.
There's a lot of statements coming out
from Netanyahu and others acting
as though Ben Gavir is some kind of isolated incident,
and the reality is, he is a symptom,
He is not the entire cancer here.
He is a part of an entire system that has existed in this way for far too long.
I do it for a second.
I forgot we're watching Sky News.
I want to...
I mean, this has like very little views overall, but like...
I literally for a second thought we were watching Dropsite.
This means the environment is shifting a little bit.
Okay, this is fucking Sky News.
This is Sky News coverage. I mean, too little, too late is, you know, an understandable position
to take here, but it still shows that the environment is moving.
These photos began with the intention of breaking the blockade of Gaza, getting food and aid to
the people there. But now they've become more of a general process.
Every day, Israel becomes more and more of a pariah state. Not that it matters, because obviously
there is no real democratic process here, especially as it pertains to foreign policy.
But it's important to take note of this. It's important to take note of this.
This kind of stuff would never get this level of coverage or,
or I think that,
say like this, the New York Times, Nicholas Kristoff, opinion editorial piece about
about the rapes that settlers and the Israeli occupying forces have done.
That's not something that you would ever get for the New York Times.
They are, I think, recognizing the environment shifting, and they're trying to get ahead
of it.
They're trying to maintain some semblance of credibility for what comes next, potentially.
I just, I see this as a turning point.
You know how your ops can only use hypocrisy arguments
against you?
Well, maybe you should go on the next Gaza flotilla
so they can aura Boris their way into criticizing you
for the hypocrisy of going on a peace mission
while your home country funds the genocide five head.
yeah i don't ever do decisions uh...
i don't ever you know take any action because of what my fucking idiotic
ops say from their couch okay i don't really give a shit
okay when
also there is zero percent chance
there is zero percent chance i remain alive after that
it's not just
uh... the case of some of us
they uh...
took us
let me let me just fucking kill myself right now just just so my
Let me kill myself right now just so my ops can feel, you know, just so my ops can give
credit.
Fuck the ops.
On the, on the, on the prison ship, and in the prison ship it's like a concentration
camp, a floating concentration camp.
We have barbed wire everywhere, there were containers where we had to sleep, and obviously
we were zip-tied.
We were stripped, thrown to the ground, pecked.
They used tasers against many of us.
Some were sexually assaulted.
And some of us were denied the chance to see a lawyer.
They even took our shoes away.
We walked barefoot on the wet ground.
They soaked us and kept us wet in the colds.
There was an escalation and there were sexual abuses.
So it's undeniable that their violence increased.
Psychological violence too, obviously,
because you were forced to keep your head down,
you couldn't raise it.
You always had to stay silent.
If we tried to speak, they would shoot at us or isolate you.
And being isolated was an even greater danger.
In Cuba, where oil from Venezuela. China war is yours to stop threatening Cuba after
all Castro was indicted. I love that China when it comes to Taiwan related issues is
a motherfucking lion. China when it comes to any other international incident where America
is doing genocide, America can just like fucking kill every Cuban. China turns into a little
kitty cat, okay? Oh, stern condemnations from afar, okay? Straight up, Chinese foreign policy
at play, folks. You're watching a master, okay? You're watching a master at work.
Incredible. Immediately, finger wagging and condemnations coming out.
Still more than the West is doing. Okay, guys, we're not matching up, you know,
China's impact around the globe versus the United States of America. It's not a real fucking conversation. It's silly
Yeah, okay. Yes, they are far better than the country doing the fucking death and destruction, of course
Is that even an argument? No
Has dried up under US pressure
Electricity fuel and medicine is running short with another airline ceasing operations today
Yeah, I will say, yeah, comparing China to modern day Nazi Germany is ridiculous,
the ridiculous conversation. That's not what we're doing at all, okay? Here's the thing.
Here's what I will say, okay? This kind of ties back to the Tulsi Gabbard decision,
the resignation, she got pushed out. This also, I think, ties back to Trump not going to his son's
wedding and staying behind and staying close to DC.
This could be the other thing that we're doing, because we're talking about potentially going
back into war with Iran.
That's a tall order, right?
Israel obviously wants it, and Trump is a slave, so he might do it.
But I do think the reason why he's staying behind could also potentially be because
is military, there is a military campaign that's imminent, but potentially in Cuba, okay? Because
the USS Nimitz is in the Caribbean. They've already created the reasons for why they might
have to do a military campaign in Cuba with the indictment of Roel Castro, 94-year-old
former leader of Cuba, Raul Castro, who I believe was the head of defense at the time when the
brothers to the rescue missions were taking place. These illegal flight missions over Cuban
territorial airspace were taking place where Cuba over and over again warned the American
government to stop it, warn the FAA to stop these missions, and then inevitably the Cuban
military shot down two of those airplanes and killed, I think, what, three American
citizens or four American citizens that were contracted by a CIA operative, who was the
head of the Bros. to the Rescue missions.
Anyway, America might wanna do a Venezuela here
because they feel weak and like a weak bully,
they might try to enforce their power
and they might try to do some quick, rapid
and albeit very violent military campaign in Cuba
to chalk up like a quick W, what they perceive to be a quick W.
Alex Ward, National Security Reporter, Walsh U Journal, also a part of the manufacturing of consent, says,
China and Russia have in recent years expanded their intelligence operations in Cuba,
investing in electronic eavesdropping facilities and tripling intel personnel.
The staff come since 2023, according to officials familiar with U.S. intelligence assessments.
Despite years of intelligence activity by China and Russia on the island, Washington is now
using the issue to sharpen its public case for escalating its pressure campaign on Cuba. Out
of 18 known signals, intelligence sites on the island, China actively runs three of them,
and Russia currently operates another two, with the rest belonging to Cuba, according to officials
familiar with the updated assessments. Beijing and Moscow remain, Beijing and Moscow's main
survey was targeted US Central Command in Tampa and US Southern Command just outside of Miami
according to the officials, although their equipment largely intercepts unclassified
communications. Some former visual question whether the findings represent a significant
new threat, noting Russia and China have many other ways to collect intelligence on US targets.
The timing seems more than a little convenient said Ricardo Zuniga, a former senior state official.
The U.S. elevated Cuba as an intelligence target in recent weeks following an order signed by
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, official said. Yeah, they are, this is a part of
the manufacturing consent efforts. They are trying to create a, I guess, sufficient reasoning to
to intervene and to militarily engage Cuba after 60 years of economic terrorism that
the American governments have enforced upon the Cuban population, death and destruction,
born out of the sanctions regime, that was a uniparty, of course.
and 20-hour backhouse leave.
This is the final arm of that ambition.
Food, locked in in fridges, if they're at all.
The banging of pots and pans, a signal of distress,
is now a nightly soundtrack in Havana.
And it is this moment that the US has chosen to tighten its grip.
Today, we are announcing an indictment,
charging rural Castro and several others with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals.
The U.S. waited 30 years to formally accuse Raul Castro of ordering the downing of two
civilian planes, killing four Cuban Americans in 1996.
An indictment a bit like the one issued before the U.S. seized Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro
with one big difference.
The former Cuban president, while still seen as the power behind the throne, is about to
turn 95.
Cuban State TV said the government condemned the despicable accusation against the leader
of the revolution, accusing the U.S. of lacking legitimacy and political provocation.
And the Cubans will see this as provocative, too, news today that the American aircraft
carrier, the USS Nimitz, one of the world's largest warships, had entered the Caribbean
Sea, a pattern now familiar after Venezuela and Iran. So are they preparing to act?
The presidents have looked at this for 50, 60 years doing something and it looks like
I'll be the one that does it.
Yeah, this is, I mean, it's just boomer conservatism,
you know, boomer agenda, boomer cons,
pedocons and boomer cons, that's it.
Oh, I'll finally do it.
It'll be a nice little cherry on top.
It just doesn't make any fucking sense, right?
If you want Cuba to liberalize its economy,
The Obama method was unbelievably successful. Okay, normalizing relations or at least starting
the process of normalizing relations with Cuba actually did do that. Okay, but that's
not the goal here. The goal here isn't to just like get Cuba to have a market economy.
The goal here is to dominate Cuba. The goal here is to turn Cuba into a worse version
of either Puerto Rico or Haiti, either of which is, I guess, beneficial in the short term
for the American revenge fantasy that they have over Cuba.
They say China is communist too, so why not treat Cuba like they treat China?
Because they can't.
Because Cuba is not a nuclear armed nation.
When you mentioned it, didn't Obama also order the killing of American citizens?
Yes, he did.
Am I a defender of Barack Obama's foreign policy in its entirety?
No, I'm just telling you.
Just like when I tell you Trump is making the correct decision with China, even though
I despise him, I will say when Obama has done something that I think is good and smart,
Two key foreign policy decisions that stick out from the Obama administration are the
JCPOA, the Iran denuclearization agreement in exchange for sanctions relief, and normalizing
trade relations or normalizing relations with Cuba, starting that process.
Not saying you are just pointing out a fact, yes.
We're happy to do it.
We want to open it up to Cuban Americans where they can go back and help.
But what is the it, the hand of friendship or military action?
The Cuban-American Secretary of State recorded this Spanish message to Cubans offering aid
and a new relationship yesterday, saying their government and not the US is to blame for
the hardship.
But the mood music...
Am I too crazy these Cuba aggression is going to be the excuse for Trump to show results
prior to the midterms?
Yeah, but who is it for?
Who is it for?
They realize that Iran war is an embarrassing failure, so they want to quick win the try
to re-assert the hegemony of the United States on the world stage and also convince the public
that Trump is strong.
Yes.
I think that's part of it.
They want to demonstrate strength again.
And after Iran, since it's been going on in such a poorly and so poorly such obvious
ways to demonstrate other countries as much as it is to demonstrate to Americans, yes.
But everyone, maybe Americans don't understand this, but everyone around the world knows
that cuba has been picked apart and destroyed
by america sanctions regime cuba doesn't have
the same defensive capabilities or the
the the uh... productive forces to withstand any sort of american war war
any sort of american military action
we've been starving this fucking island for sixty years pretty much or at least
trying to start this island
And things have obviously taken a, things have taken a turn for, for the worse in the aftermath of the dissolution of the USSR.
I don't know.
Did you talk about their bullshit lie about Cuba having $18 billion?
They conflated the numbers.
Yes, I've covered it before.
Was different when CIA director John Ratcliffe visited the island nation last week, with
US intelligence leaked to Axios, claiming Cuba had acquired more than 300 military drones,
a claim that has been met with skepticism.
As tensions rose, China stepped into the fold, with the Foreign Ministry spokesman saying
it opposed US pressure on Cuba.
The US should stop wielding the stick of sanctions and judicial measures against Cuba, and stop
resorting to threats of force at every turn.
Yeah, the drone claim is bullshit.
I don't even know if they actually have 300 new drones or whatever, but they're a sovereign
nation who gives a fuck if they do.
I don't even believe that this is a real, like, I just oppose every part of this argument,
right?
The idea that, like, Cuba is not allowed to purchase drones if they choose to do so is
ridiculous.
Okay?
The idea that this would be a threat to America is doubly ridiculous.
What the fuck do you mean?
It's a sovereign nation.
If they see the need for military drones, for personal security reasons, for national
sovereignty-related reasons, they absolutely have a right to do that.
The fuck are we talking about?
And I haven't seen enough evidence to suggest that this is true to begin with, but even
if it was, it still doesn't make any sense.
Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C.
Americans have really had their fill of Donald Trump's excursions.
I don't know what the president's plans are, but the combination of his rhetoric and the positioning of U.S. forces and blockading of energy into Cuba, you know, if this was happening in the United States, we would consider it an act of war.
I think we need to have liberty and freedom. I don't think it's going to take military action. I think the people of Cuba are going to write.
Yeah, to understand how deeply on serious as fucking dickhead is he literally in the in the indictment announcement was complaining about how, you know, I've demanded his assassination and I've gone to Cuba to do propaganda for Cuba like that's how, that's how on serious these guys are like the crisis was imminent.
If this was a serious threat, you wouldn't probably be talking about a fucking Twitch streamer, right? To like beef up the crimes of Cuba, you know?
The issue was firmly on the agenda on Capitol Hill with different views, but a shared anticipation
that for Donald Trump, Cuba could be next in line.
Yeah.
Um, where is it?
There is more on this.
Yeah, I believe the liberation of the wonderful people of Cuba from the clutches of communism
is close at hand.
Cuba Libre.
This is exactly how this motherfucker was talking about Iran by the way right before the Iran
right before the Iran military campaign started.
Here is a former CIA officer Philip Aegee explaining why the US has been waging economic
warfare on Cuba for decades and trying to strangle and overthrow the socialist system.
They know here let's take a look at what he had to say.
I've never seen this video before so I don't know.
We know that if the Cubans are successful in their example of being able to provide
as a poor country the best medical care in the third world to the whole population because
it's an inclusionary system, it's not like we have here, where you have this huge bulk
of the population, you know, marginalized them.
But there, if everybody can have adequate medical care, if the schooling is adequate
for all.
And remember, bro, sounds like Reagan, bro, everybody used to sound like Reagan.
This is 1995.
The Cuba has more doctors and more teachers per capita than any country in the world.
And they have succeeded in these areas.
And it's all state supported, which means people don't have to put money out for the
medical care, or of course pay the cost indirectly as a whole society, but they don't have to
pay the bill at the hospital and so forth.
And so that cannot be allowed to stand.
It's a very bad example for the United States.
for all the third world people in the United States, after all, we're coming to third world
country very fast, if not already, not already. And so there's a very large mass of people
out there who can look at Cuba and say, well, if they can do it, and on a per capita income
of $2,000, $2,500 a year, where ours is $22,500 a year, what's wrong with our system? I mean,
they move up to consider an alternative.
That's why Nicolagua's son, Mr. Nicolagua,
had to be destroyed.
Exactly.
They were a bad example, and that's
why Grenada had to be destroyed,
because any movement that comes to power
with the idea of providing for all the people
and of escaping the control of the government.
Well, this is video made in 1995.
And it's economy, let's say, the corporations and so forth.
Then that is bad.
i always talk about this is called the threat of a good alternative okay the
threat of an alternative that's what it is
if cuba gets a thrive
with the communist system ninety miles off the coastline of the united states
america what does that say about our current
for-profit health care structure that exists
how can a country
that is
so poor
a complete
government-sponsored complete government-controlled nationalized healthcare system
where every single person can get their healthcare needs met
the threat of a good example in that situation is not beneficial for the
capital owning class
okay
it's terrifying
so we have to punish it
we have to make sure that they suffer
for that crime
their crime against capital the only crime that matters
here in the United States in the upper circles of power and influence.
It's part of it.
That is why we wage this kind of ideological warfare.
That's why the sanctions regime that we have implemented, the sanctions terrorism that we've
implemented, has to be purposefully kept invisible.
Donald Trump doesn't play by those rules.
Donald Trump doesn't have the tact to actually maintain the invisibility of the sanctions
process. And that's part of the reason why more people are paying attention to what's
going on in Cuba now, especially in the aftermath of what we did to Gaza and how, how much
we lied, how much Israel lied in the process.
People are a lot more skeptical of American foreign policy decisions than ever before.
The American population by and large doesn't give a shit about our cruelty overseas, right?
But paired up with the seismic attitude shift against American militarism by regular Americans.
And also Trump's tendency to just say the quiet part out loud.
All of a sudden you arrive at this interesting new predicament where people are at least
those who are paying a little bit of attention to what the fuck's going on.
Look at the situation and go, wait a minute.
Why are we doing this? This doesn't make sense. For 60 years, America's engineering around
Cuba's demise, like economic sanctions terror, was deliberately kept invisible. Also, they
I could say the reason why Cubans are suffering is because of their own personal decisions.
The reason why Cuba is suffering is because of the Cuban communist government's decisions
because communism is a failure, right?
Now Trump is like, nope, there's an oil blockade.
If you send oil to Cuba, we will do something about it.
We will intercept it with our Navy.
We've surrounded the island.
We will punish you if you send a drop of oil to Cuba.
And with the one exception of a Russian oil tanker, no one else is willing to entertain
that.
More perfect union made a video on this.
Let's take a look.
It really looks like the Trump administration is getting ready to take over Cuba.
And now to the crisis in Cuba.
Cuba has always posed a national security threat to the United States.
A new U.S. aircraft carrier is moving into the Caribbean.
I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba.
The last few weeks have all the classic hallmarks,
high level talks, a criminal indictment,
and an imminent attack, all to create the pretense for action.
So why is this happening now
and who's cheerleading this invasion?
Well, step one was Venezuela.
By removing Nicolas Maduro from power in January,
the administration cut the Cuban government off
from a lifeline since Venezuela sold them crude oil
and other fuel for years.
And by cutting off Cuba's only lifeline and then increasing the intensity of the blockade,
the Trump administration has created a humanitarian crisis.
It's a maximum pressure campaign on Cuba, and nobody was pushing harder for that than
Marco Rubio.
Rubio is the son of Cuban exiles and a hardliner on Cuba himself, and he's made his career
calling for regime change in the country.
In fact, he claims to be the architect behind this maximum pressure campaign, strangling
the country of all imports and sources of energy.
deeply connected to Rubio and the state of Florida, there is an entire community of wealthy Cuban exiles
who are pushing to oust the Cuban government. That includes the Fanjul brothers, sugar billionaires,
the Fanjul family, where the sugar kings of Cuba before the communist revolution. When the Cuban
government seized their sugar plantations, they fled to the US and they rebuilt their sugar empire
here. A new regime in Cuba could mean reclaiming their former hold on Cuban sugar and they'll
They'll support any politician who helps them do it, Democrat or Republican.
They've backed Rubio for years, helping make his career with consistent donations, and
now they've done the same.
Again, not a real country, just a bunch of corporate interests in a trench coat.
Not a real country at all.
Our politicians are bought and sold.
This is yet another glaringly obvious example of this.
Okay?
That's it. These guys are advancing basically almost a half a century old grievance here.
And they do not care how many people they starve in the process.
This community also includes people like Orlando Gutierrez, Boronat, and the Assembly
of the Cuban Resistance, a collection of NGOs all committed to a change of government in
Cuba, many funded directly by the U.S. government. Orlando Gutierrez and others help launder
the government narrative, claiming that Cuba is a threat and building plans for a new government
and how to open Cuba to foreign corporations.
Speaking of which, we can't forget the corporate interests and the industrialists who are ready
to take advantage of a new Cuban government.
Exxon Noble is ready and waiting.
They recently brought a case to the Supreme Court against Cuba over their confiscated
land and oil refineries in the country.
Regime change would likely mean a big payout for them and a way back into Cuba.
And last, Jorge Los Santos.
He's a billionaire, owner of InterMiami CF Football Club, and the chair of MossTech,
a massive infrastructure and telecom company.
He's connected to Trump, he runs a Cuban Exile group that drafts plans to open the country
to foreign investment, and he's ready to take advantage of regime change in Cuba with
his massive corporation.
Over the next few days and weeks, you're going to hear a lot of stories about how Cuba
is a threat, how the government has to be changed.
You probably already are.
But as always, try to remember that there is a group of people cheering this invasion
on who are doing it mostly for power and for profit.
How can you look at the situation and see hope?
What can we do but sit and watch the US take over Cuba?
Brother, you have to try and do your very best, okay?
You have to gum up the works, you have to protest, you have to work with politicians
at times, even if you don't agree with them, you know, across the board and try to do your
very best. Okay. That's it. Things like this matter, broad awareness initiatives matter.
A lot of people check out of the Cuba conversation every single time. What is this Fox News mentioned
you again. Oh God, pure anti-Semitism lawmakers condemn anti-Semitism in political campaigns.
I fucking hate Gottheimer so much. What a piece of shit. Republican Congressman Byron
Donnells of the great state of Florida also running to be that state's next governor.
Democrat Congressman Josh Gottheimer of my home state, great state of New Jersey, good
see you both. Look, this is happening now at a time that's right before the midterms.
I don't know if anybody saw this as an election issue. Byron, I'm going to hear from you first.
What do you say? This is a major election issue. It's something that's been cropping up
more and more on social media. And I think what you're starting to see are people who are living
online way too much who are buying into these conspiracy theories as if the Jewish people
are running Americans for. I know what you're saying but it's hard because it feels like I'm
powerless and you see the pain innocent people are going through. How do you not feel overwhelmed
or burned out? There's no other option. That's it. There's no other alternative. I mean we just
experienced a live streamed Holocaust for the last two and a half years, right?
If I kept up that attitude, if I just like leaned into nihilism, if I just felt depressed,
and decided to quit, you know.
Then, and others also felt the same way.
We would have not been able to reach the broad consciousness in the western world where Israel is unambiguously a pariah state.
Okay? People kept protesting in spite of everything else.
else, and they did it because of the casualties, because of the death and destruction that
befell the Palestinian population.
You can't let these people dying be in vain.
You can't just discard it.
You fight through that depression and that nihilism for that reason, and you try to lean
into moments of little pockets of hope, little pockets of optimism, electing a mayor of
New York that is an anti-Zionist is a moment of hope that you can lean into.
And now it's not just a couple of politicians here and there.
There is a wave of politicians that are openly in opposition to Israel, right?
three days ago, Chris Rabb basically guaranteed that he will be a DSA endorse, DSA cadre,
congressperson from Philadelphia. These are, you know, moments of optimism that you can
and should lean into. This is part of the reason why I'm also very critical of people
that are on our side, that regularly foment this pessimism, or they say, oh, none of this
actually matters. Okay, this is why I'm very, um, frustrated with people who discourage
those, uh, from, from doing more. You just have to block out the noise. You have to
tune out the noise. And you have to remind yourself that you're doing this for other
people. You're doing it for them. Okay.
That's it.
You can never succumb to nihilism.
Part of the reason why you can't do it is because your enemies want you to, okay?
That's why I say, you know, spike could be a good motivating factor as well.
Because all of these people, including those on screen right now, would love for you to
give up.
Oh, it would be fantastic for you to give up.
It'd be amazing if you never, you know, created a big fuss.
That's part of the reason why they do things like this.
That's part of the reason why they do these sorts of media hits.
It's part of the reason why Josh Gottheimer has a fucking bill out there, a condemnation
bill against me as well, so that I feel discouraged, so that this community feels discouraged,
so that I don't have a platform any longer, so they can apply pressure to places like
Twitch, Metta, Google to stop these companies from allowing someone like myself to have
any voice to communicate anti-Zionist thought and and Palestinian dignity and sovereignty
to a broader audience. They understand the damage that this creates. That's the reason
why they choose to stop it.
So what are you going to do? Give up? Let these guys fucking win? It's ridiculous.
Here is Rashid Khalidi, a very important historian of Palestinian descent and an important historian of Palestine as well.
Talking about the dangers of purity politics and why meaningful political change requires broad coalitions strategic alliances and building power beyond politics is self-satisfaction.
Kalidi says that if the goal is to stop arms sales, advance divestment and shift policy, movements cannot remain trapped in a tiny, ineffective minority.
Let's take a look.
I would like to hear more about that, because especially within the Palestinian movement, there tends to be some divisions over what's going on in Palestine, with Hamas, with armed resistance, and sort of people tend to always butt heads over like armed resistance versus non-armed resistance, especially when armed resistance has been such a...
Can I say something about that?
I'm perfectly happy to have people in Vazi or Nablus talk about it.
What the hell business is about of ours in the United States?
I mean really seriously, you want to support something, support it.
But to make that a debate between us divides us and brings unspeakable joy to our enemies.
Let them fight about our own struggle because they're not going to struggle or be armed.
They're sitting in Georgetown or in University of Chicago.
I mean, what does that have to do with what we have to do?
We live in the belly of the beast.
We live in the country that sustains this genocide.
Our work has to do with the United States.
I mean, as Palestinians, we have a voice
in the inter-Palestinian debate.
But in my opinion, that's not the most important thing
you should be doing in the United States.
It should be figuring out what we can do here.
For the record, a lot of people on the pro-arm resistance
side of this equation will hear
his words and then will unironically not listen to his words or internalize it and immediately
foment more debate, more conflict, and say, oh, well, Russia's Khalidi is anti-arm resistance.
Okay, I'm not. But I understand the point he's trying to make.
The point he's making is there is no reason to have this kind of discourse and to fight amongst
one another when our goal ultimately is united. Our goal ultimately is the end to the occupation.
He didn't say that with the fuck. No, he didn't say that here. Okay. He didn't say that right now.
I'm just telling you what some people will do in the aftermath of Rashid Khalidi's take here.
They will advance the exact opposite point that he is trying to make. Okay.
The point is trying to make is, it doesn't matter if someone is, is, you know, being anti-arm resistance at the end of the day, if their goal ultimately is to try and end the occupation.
He's right. You can be opportunistic allies and politics. In fact, that is politics.
is politics, Mao and Chiang Kai-shek were able to join together to fight Japan, but some
of you guys think a different DSA caucus is your enemy on issues you agree with people
on, you can work together like you can work with someone who supports an arms embargo
even if they aren't all the way supporting a bi-national state, for instance, yeah, that's
my assessment, that's my goals, that's what I try to do for the best of my ability all
the time.
What is this?
Not necessarily you could be more charitable I understand his point.
I am being charitable.
I'm literally defending him.
What are you talking about?
I bet I get fighting doomers and what using Zioran Musadani is an example might not be
the best choice.
Better to point out actual resistance on the ground and their incredible bravery.
Man shut up, shut up, shut up.
You don't understand the point I'm making and you don't understand the point he's making
either.
The point I'm making is whatever fucking floats your boat if you can to the average American
who has never even encountered
uh... the concept of why
palestinians resist
or understand it
who actually still
say fuck israel but don't fully grasp why
uh... palestinians
uh... resist
someone likes our mom daddy is actually an opportunity to be
hopeful okay
and there are plenty of people like that out there
the point you should
ask yourself is like
Is this actually, I mean, I make those jokes too about Zoran, obviously, but like if you're, if you're advancing that as a sincere, uh, uh, if you're advancing that as a sincere critique, okay?
You should ask yourself, is this productive?
You should try to grasp the larger conversation that the masses are having or where they're
at.
It takes time to get them on board with things like this.
It takes time to chip away at powerful forces of propaganda in this country after 20 plus
years of unlimited Islamophobic propaganda from every orifice of the American government.
It is very difficult to get Americans to be on board with armed militancy against the
United States of America and its allies.
They think everything is ISIS.
It has taken a long ass time to get even people in this community on board with armed militancy
and armed resistance.
Some of you act like you've been there all along.
Many of you were not.
The only reason why I had any success in trying to get people to understand the humanity of
Palestinians and therefore why they engage in armed resistance and armed militancy is
because I'm much more forgiving of people's shortcomings in this field.
And a lot of people will take that charitability, take that nuance and claim that I'm doing
it to cape for Zionists, for Zio's.
I'm a Zio myself. I'm a Zio damn.
Take my conversations with Bernie Sanders, for example,
one thing that I give credit to Bernie Sanders on always is the fact that
regardless of his own personal opinion on this issue,
and it's very clear that he's biased,
very clear that he has a liberal Zionist framework that he operates off of.
he doesn't stand in opposition to those who are anti-Zionists. As a matter of fact, he has propped up, defended, and also
actively endorsed many people who are to the left of him on this issue.
Okay, so he doesn't allow his own personal shortcomings to get in the way of building a broader, more successful movement.
A more successful anti-Zionist movement.
Very extreme to compare the Chinese Civil War and Ola Mao.
I'm trying to make the case on two sides that were literally killing each other for years but then joined together anyway to have a common cause of a decade of civil war can be overcome to form an alliance.
Your minor difference in ideological tendency can too, yes.
If resistance in and of itself is legitimate, not only is arm resistance legitimate also,
but it's necessary.
That said, let the arm resistance do their part on arm resistance, do theirs exactly.
this country. We are not the resistance. I mean, I heard students say, we are. No, no,
excuse me. You are not. You are a sned. You are the support of the Palestinian struggle
at best if you do a good job. And if not, you're a hindrance with all due respect.
Yeah. But I want to go back specifically to the politics within Palestine.
But I would rather go back. You can go back. I would rather go back to here.
this issue of purity and so on and so forth. I think if you have two choices, you can be
a tiny ineffective minority for the rest of your life with the people who think exactly
like you and have the correct line, in which case you condemn yourself to complete and
utter uselessness. Or you can figure out a strategy which brings you together with people
who you don't entirely agree with, but with whom you agree on a specific objective. What
What is our objective?
Is our objective stopping arms sales?
I can agree with some Zionists.
Is our objective BDS, the divestment of universities?
I can agree with some people.
I don't agree with them anything else.
I might not agree with other things on them, with them on other things.
But if you want to change anything and you don't just want to be pure and self-satisfied
and know that you're done the right thing, if you're willing to actually decide this
This is the objective and to achieve it, we're going to have to get our hands dirty and talk
to people we don't really like.
Imagine that creating a coalition which affects change with people you don't really agree
with.
But that's effective.
The other is completely ineffective.
And I think like this is very important because you're telling us to kind of like stay away
from this very narrow view into like Palestine, Israel.
And if I think the global movement has looked at the connections of like the military industrial
complex, looked at, for example, what the community needs before they can go protest,
like people's basic needs in the streets, like just class struggles, I think we can have more
effective. I think if we're thinking about ways to reach beyond the narrow group of people who
are active around Palestine, to people who don't have proper schools or hospitals or whatever,
because so much money is spent on the war machine, then we're talking about a majority of Americans
who may agree, let's stop arms to Israel, not only because they're killing
Palestinians, but because they're killing people who don't have proper hospitals
and they're leading to the miseducation of youths and they're leading to our
having the worst railway systems, the worst bridges in the world because we're
not spending on infrastructure because a third of the budget is going to weapons
to kill people, not just Palestinians of course. So I agree with you completely.
Who's this guy again that's famous scholar, academic,
Palestinian, Rashid Khalidi who wrote 100 years in Palestine,
among numerous other works.
People usually drone on about purity politics tend to hold people who are actually on the ground
resisting their extermination to standards, no one in their situation can meet.
So tired of the purity politics framing because it's functionally, it functionally is meant
to demonize people in this country who are pushing to the left.
There's a reason why we don't hear purity politics on the right.
And I'm not talking about Twitter.
If there's no moral ideological framework for accountability, then there are no goals that
are achievable.
Every movement that has ever achieved anything like liberation for its people has had moral
and ideological framework that cannot be compromised, even if certain strategies differed.
When that framework is compromised, everything crumbles.
I agree with Khaledian in general way, but as I say above, there's no movement on a
moral and ideological framework that is a free-for-all, and it allows people like Carlson
Escher to come in and navigate the narrative and dust the outcome.
I think regardless of my own personal politics, my own personal moral framework, I'm willing
to work with people who are at least closer to my world view on this issue than the average
is.
And I grade on a curve, and I'm not, you know, I don't hide that, right?
I talk about it all the time.
I grade politicians on a curve.
I adjust who I work with or who I align with entirely dependent on what the rest of the
body politic looks like, okay? This is why, although I have my criticisms of AOC at times
or I have my criticisms of Bernie Sanders at times, I still understand that as long as
they don't get in the way of other people that are to their left and actively do endorse
them and use their massive platforms to prop them up. I don't have an issue. Or rather,
I don't let the issues that I do have get in the way of building a broader movement.
Okay? I mean, Adam Hummaui is a great example of this as well. Of course, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
endorsed Dr. Adam Hummaui, candidate for New Jersey 12. The New Jersey primary election
is June 2nd.
The right famously falls in behind their leader's amount of the people who support arms resistance,
supported people who were in charge of other forms of moves against Israel.
There would be no conflict.
I don't punch left at those people unless they are discrediting politicians who have
goals to counter Israel directly, like removing weapons from Israel and removing U.S. attacks
on international law will contain Israel and thereby aid the resistance.
Exactly. That's it. A lot of people, I think, look at the situation. A lot of people, I
think, look at this and go, no, my way or the fucking highway. They don't understand
it like AOC in an unbelievably meaningful way. What is this? Stateside podcast. Oh,
My Guardian podcast came out. What is the Soundpikers Dude Burr project really about stateside with Kai and Carter?
Wait
That's interesting that the podcast came out, but I didn't actually talk I only talked to
Kai I did not talk to Carter. There's a one-on-one
So, here's the thing, dude, bro's a bit demeaning, but okay, I don't care.
What I'm trying to say is this, okay?
There are moments where AOC falls short, okay?
But not to a degree where I personally would consider what she's doing in comparison to
the rest of Congress to be a genuine detriment.
So there are instances where she can be a detriment.
Same with Zoramumdani, right?
But at the end of the day, at the end of the day, if AOC played a formative role in propping
up anti-Zionists that are now running for office, okay, numerous anti-Zionists that
are running for office, and literally did the exact opposite of what Jasmine Crockett
is doing, for example, and propped up a big contingency of democratic politicians, okay?
Democratic politicians that now will be able to caucus, will now be able to be a genuine
undeniable force that demands an end to weapons transfers, that demands an embargo on Israel.
For example, if that were to happen, and AOC played a role in that, that is unbelievably
beneficial for the Palestinians.
It doesn't happen overnight.
It takes time to get there.
And I think a lot of people forget that this kind of stuff doesn't happen instantly.
I think people see, in the most charitable interpretation, I think people see the, the,
the carnage that's unfolding, they feel a moral culpability, and they feel a sense of
responsibility in the violence that's unfolding, and they want immediate solutions.
But unfortunately in the real world, there is no real justice, and justice doesn't come
instantly.
It takes a very long time.
They feel this sense of urgency and they immediately want an instant moment of restitution.
It doesn't happen.
And when it doesn't happen, they succumb to despair.
And they feel as though there must be structural hurdles in front of them.
And there are.
But instead of seeing the, they miss the forest for the trees.
Instead of seeing the structural hurdles that are presented by the 99% of congressional
representatives and senators that are unbelievably invested in maintaining Israel's regime
of cruelty, death and destruction, they look at some of their closest allies and they say,
you must be the reason why things are not moving fast enough.
I don't know why people operate this way or I try to get people to be a little bit more.
What the fuck?
Okay, that was weird.
That was odd. I don't know what just happened.
Right, so tell me was the anti-apartheid regime movement in South Africa as gradual as you claim? Yes.
I don't know what it was. It was just a random blip. Okay, everybody calm down. Everybody cool it.
It's fine. It was for a brief moment.
I must do my daily 10M Israel highs real quick.
Okay. Fiverr says hi. Yeah. With South Africa, South Africa did not have the same level of
interconnectedness with centers of capital in the way that Israel has, right? Because
South Africa was not able to maintain its apartheid, and Israel has been able to maintain
its apartheid in the aftermath of the dissolution of the South African one. So Israel learned
a lot of lessons from that, right? That's why it's a more cruel, and that's why it's
much more cruel version of the same apartheid regime that existed in South Africa. And beyond that,
it's resilience, Israel's resilience
is born out of the fact that they were there when the South African apartheid ended.
They learned lessons from that, okay? They made themselves an undeniable part of American politics
for example. It's quite difficult to tackle this behemoth. And yet, I would go so far as to say,
in such a short period of time, in over three years, there has been tremendous seismic shifts
in this country. And the only reason why I can say that is because I've experienced it for the
past 10 years leading up to the last three. But an open anti-zionist for the past 13 years
of my professional media career, and much longer than that, obviously.
But the seismic shifts in attitude that we've seen are relatively new. They are so new that many
in positions of power, do not even recognize it. They don't even understand where people are right
now. Part of that is because they've lived the lifetime of being pro-Israel, that Israel was
the third rail, the untouchable point of contention that no one can ever bring up. If they do, then
they're inundated with a barrage of attack ads and called an anti-Semite. And then that's it.
no one questions it. So if you match up the seismic shift in attitude,
where now for the first time ever in American history, Americans are more in support of Palestinians
than they are of Israelis. If you can't comprehend how that took place, then just learn how,
I mean, go back in time and try to figure out exactly how this issue was communicated
in broad daylight in public discourse even three years ago.
strategy. And we don't have anybody putting things forward except the Palestinian civil
society. I mean, it's essentially in the hands of private individuals and private groups to do
the work that a Palestinian liberation movement should be doing, and it hasn't really done for
decades, which is to speak convincingly with a clear voice to global public opinion. The Zionists
didn't take over and win simply because they had the support of great powers. There are
It didn't simply win because they had more guns and they didn't simply win because they had financial support
they won mainly large not me largely because they understood the importance of speaking to global public's and
Unfortunately, Palestinian leaderships
Denied Palestinian leaderships from the 20s and the 30s right up through the current a lot of people who should be turf out
Have never really understood the importance of it
I mean what have you heard that a Palestinian ambassador has said well
There are two of them who have spoken that I've seen in the last several weeks in Ta'al
London and the Salah Abdelhaidah in Vienna, I think.
So I mean, I'm not blaming the individual, I'm blaming the fact that you do not have
this unified national movement with a clear strategy and a clear voice speaking.
Where do you think it might come from now, the special movement?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, I'm going to take refuge in the dodge that I always
employ, which is the job description of the historian
doesn't include predicting the future.
I don't know where it should come from.
I don't know where it would come from.
These things are all always unexpected.
I don't think anybody expected the rise of the resistance
in the late 1950s and early 1960s to come as it did,
from where it did, and the way it did.
I don't think anybody, I know nobody
expected the first interphone.
My guess is people didn't expect the second.
And so, I mean, I don't know where it will come from.
As I said, I was speaking yesterday and the day before.
I think that there's a reservoir of talent
in the Palestinian diaspora, and an enormous reservoir
of talent in Palestinians inside Israel,
of people who are savvy about what
has to be said and the audiences that have to be addressed.
I honestly don't think you can expect for this aspect of it.
I'm not talking about a unified mission.
I'm talking about expression of a clear strength,
putting forward a clear strategy once we have one.
I don't think you can expect people in Gaza
or the West Bank whose only experience of the Israelis
is brutal soldiers at checkpoints
or they're bombing you or they're blowing up your house.
I mean, how do those people speak to Israelis and Americans,
people who've never been outside of Gaza
or people who can only travel
with the greatest difficulty from the West Bank?
It has to be either people inside Israel who have freedom to move and who know Israel better than anybody any Palestinians know Israel
And who have a sense of the Western world or those Palestinians that huge number of stains in the Palestine diaspora
Especially in the West and Latin America. They're very active
this is a very cold and
very
articulated argument on propaganda for the record and I suspect that this will be very frustrating for a lot of people that hear this and go
How dare you say this?
You know
How dare you say such a thing
This is you know, you're you're disparaging you're saying that the capabilities of
of Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank are worse or something? I don't know.
But I don't think that's what he's saying. I think he's talking about who has the capacity
because of their lived experience in generating propaganda, like communicating the plight
the Palestinians to people who don't think about the humanity of Palestinians at all.
And no, when I say propaganda, I mean it as a neutral term. I'm not using
the term Americans understand, which is like misinformation. That's not what I'm saying at all.
They are active. And in fact, if you look at where the greatest progress has been made and
where the activism has been the most effective, it's actually those zones. It's not inside the
Arab world where the kind of refreshing that operates on Arab publics is operating even more
severely on Palestinians who live in those countries. I mean, people tortured to death
in Jordan for activists, Palestinian Jordanians. Yeah, people arrested over a few years. They're
in jail for Egyptians for protests. Even in Morocco, one of the biggest leaders of the BDS
movement was found one day in his apartment in a coma, Beetsen, and this. The Moroccan authorities
have not opened an investigation? Nor will they. No, no, so I don't think you can count on people
who live under that kind of oppression or who live physically under occupation in the West Bank
in the Gaza Strip. On this aspect of it, to take a strategy, everybody has to be involved.
And as somebody said in the conference that the Institute for Palestine Studies had yesterday,
the best way to engage this is democratically. I mean, you need to have elections, you need to have
people putting forward a program for Palestine and seeing how people...
I also want people to understand that like it doesn't stop at a certain point. Like you don't
just like, you don't stop at liberal Zionism for example, right? If that's even what he's advocating
for, which I don't think he is, right? Because he brings up like BDS and certain red lines that
liberal Zionist immediately will say is fucking anti-Semitic and shit like that.
I think I have a fairly decent understanding of broader Western consciousness on this issue.
And I am constantly and habitually and deliberately pushing the permission structure
in pushing the permission structure to the best of my ability, where I'm forgiving of
people's shortcomings or moments of anger, of course, obviously, like I totally understand
where it's coming from. But I also understand like what lines not to cross, okay? This is
why Zionist groups get very frustrated with someone like myself when I choose my words
very carefully and say things that most people would never be caught dead saying if they
ever think that they can have a moment in, you know, a moment of the spotlight of mainstream
media or the the the a moment where they can talk about these sorts of issues
convincingly in front of a charitable large liberal audience and get them to
question things that they had never questioned before okay one example I use
all the time is of course the hummus is a thousand times better than isreal
people fucking despise that like the pro is really crowd hate that shit so much
what is this i already watched it i already watched the purity politics hey i'm drop side
social media editor opposed to the Khalidi clips. Yeah. The Hamas is a thousand times
better than Israel conversation is one that really frustrates a lot of Zionists. And the
reason why it frustrates a lot of Zionists is because, one, it's true, right? The truth
frustrates Zionists. But it also frustrates Zionists because it causes the onlookers to agree with it,
because it's so unobjectionable. It's so clearly true that the average person who had never actually
thought about it and assumes that Hamas is like this scary, dangerous alien force that is
enforcing its wishes upon the Palestinian population aggressively, due to all the propaganda about the Palestinian resistance,
that is only, you know, engaging in militancy out of anger and resentment, and anti-Semitism,
due to all the Islamophobia.
Right?
It causes people to immediately understand when they hear that for the first time ever,
they go, wait a minute, while up until this very moment, I thought that these guys were
violent barbarians who operate with one anti-Semitic goal in mind.
It is true that objectively, Israel has done so many October 7, since October 7, and as
long as you also go on this journey of understanding how Hamas was formed in the process, as long
as you ask that question, wait a minute, he said that, I kind of agree with him.
So what has Israel done before October 7 that might have led to October 7, all of a sudden,
You have a bunch of liberals who previously had never questioned the narrative that Hamas,
Hezbollah, and all forms of militancy against Israel and the United States of America in
the region are just operating out of this weird, unadulterated hatred, right?
The people that say, loser terrorist supporter like this guy, you know?
Most people start second guessing their priors, okay?
Maybe not him.
Maybe not him.
Because I think he might be a supporter of the real terrorists in this conversation, the state of Israel.
He might be confusing me with someone who supports the terrorist state of Israel, I do not.
And for the record, as someone living in the United States of America, as a taxpayer in
the United States of America, I have played a major role in the death and destruction
of the demise of the Palestinians.
Okay, so it's not up to me to sit around and consistently talk about my disagreements with
Hamas's tactics or its form of internal governance, especially when the apartheid still remains,
when the occupation still remains, and it worsens every day, especially as Israel is doing its genocide.
I know my place, you know. I find it ridiculous. You'd be like, well, but Hamas over and over
and over again, as Israel gets to slaughter Palestinians en masse, as Israel gets to do
the same now in Lebanon, as Israel tries to get America to do the same in Iran. Right?
It's ridiculous.
What a ridiculous conversation.
What purpose does this serve other than creating an environment of permission for Israeli action?
it. I think it's no different than hyper-focusing your entire advocacy on the cruelty that the
Nazis faced. It's no different than talking about the cruelty that the the Nat Turner
rebellion created for slavers and their families. And I think we all understand, especially since
the dust has settled on those two incidents, on those two systematic forms of cruelty,
Nazi Germany in the Holocaust, and of course, chattel slavery.
We immediately understand what someone hyper focuses on that.
When someone dials in on the violence that those who were enslaved subjected the slavers
to.
We say, why are you focusing on that?
you think that the far greater systematized form of violence in chattel slavery was, you
know, a lot more consequential than what those who were previously enslaved subjected their
slavers to?
If you're to run around saying, well, what about the events like the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
that triggered a response by Nazis in retaliation. Don't you feel like it was just? Everyone would
understand you're talking to a fucking Nazi. The problem is, the contemporary example of
Nazi Germany is Israel. And we're aligned with Israel. And not only are we aligned with Israel,
but there is a fairly sophisticated and very pervasive
propaganda arm of Israel that gets to operate in the United States of America.
There's a fairly sophisticated influence peddling operation at the highest levels of
office including the presidency that causes the American president commanding the most powerful
Legion, the most powerful military force on the planet, to be at the mercy to follow along
on the whims and the goals of Israeli leadership.
That's it.
That's why there are so many people who behave like this guy, product, right?
Says the grift maxing Fuentes cosplayer, sit the fuck down loser.
Canada is cooked.
There should have been a hard cap on abbreviations to be honest.
When you get to the point of just having sentenced long abbreviations for inclusion groups,
I think the plot has been spectacularly lost.
Ted Cruz.
Here he is, the same guy that called me a terrorist supporter,
calling into question Supreme Court of the United States,
Katanji Brown Jackson's qualifications for being a Supreme Court justice.
Brother, the fact that you're asking GROC for approval implies that, you know, you will
never understand why she absolutely deserves that role, okay?
It's hilarious.
Lobotomy recipient.
Many such cases.
vote on it. Now, there are all kinds of problems with democracy. I'm not
starry-eyed about the merits of democracy. On the other hand, the
alternatives are all worse. A clique of people in Fateh or in Hamas will decide
for the Palestinian people their future? No. No, I don't accept that. That's not
acceptable. If they put their proud program to a democratic vote,
and that vote leads to a unified position, fine. And we actually had that in
in 2006, it was about go back and look at what the Hamas program was.
Was the Hamas program Tahir in Bahrain and Nahin?
No, it was to operate within the Oslo framework,
to join parliament, to set up a government together with Fatah.
That's what they went to the people, and that's what people voted for.
That's unacceptable for the Americans, for the Israelis.
I understand that, but then you have to maintain your unity and say,
this is the only basis on which we will deal.
I mean, I think people also have lost faith in what democracy can do when like the power
of the veto and when people here are on the streets every day and your politicians are
just not listening to what the majority of the Democratic Party want, for example.
Change doesn't happen because we're very angry and we want it today.
Change happens over years, sometimes decades, because of dedicated long-term sustained work.
You did not stop the Vietnam War in one year or three years or five years, took 10 years
of work.
You didn't stop the Iraq war.
And those are easy compared to this one in terms of American politics.
The second thing to say is, until they completely shut down the United States and create some
kind of authoritarian regime, if that's the way we're going, we can do things here that
people simply cannot do in Morocco or Jordan or Egypt.
We still have freedom of speech.
We still have freedom of organization.
I mean, they may try and shut this down.
I'm not saying it's inviolable, but it will no longer at that point be a democracy.
We'll be in sort of never, neverland of Hungary, which is nominally a democracy, but it's not
a democracy for many purposes.
My point is that democracy is terrible, a terrible system.
But I hate to quote what is in Churchill, but it's the least bad of them all.
And you do have the capability of doing things that you do not have in its alteration.
So it will take a long time.
Incrementalism?
I mean, incrementalism also serves a purpose.
It's not the end all be all.
But everyone plays a role is what I'm saying.
Everyone plays a role.
move you make to advance a certain goal is slowly but surely play a role, even when you
convince like an immediate family member that they were wrong on this issue, right? Like
that plays a role. They have the capacity to go and talk to others. Okay? This is important.
It's important to understand. I, that's why I don't like cast aside anybody. I don't even
fucking cast aside Marjorie Taylor Green in general. I just have issues with, you know,
considering her a movement leader or immediately assuming that she is an ally across the board
in this fight. Like, I'm sorry, but I've seen too much of what she's done in the past to
automatically assume that she is going to be a loyal ally in this cause. I don't have,
I'm not going to disparage everything that she's doing. It's great. Glad that she sees the violence
and recognizes the humanity, right? But just as I don't expect Tucker Carlson or Marjorie Taylor
Green to start defending the Palestinian resistance, for example, I have the same exact set of
expectations from others as well. Others who don't have this former track record.
Because what I find frustrating when people make this calculation between Tucker Carlson
and AOC or Marjorie Taylor Green and AOC is that they get mad at Zoran and AOC, understandably,
as do I, and criticize Zoran and AOC when they don't.
Okay. People get frustrated with Zoran or AOC or those who are ideologically closer to us when they don't actually, in any way shape or form, offer any defense to the Palestinian militancy or resistance broadly, even conceptually, right?
But they don't have that same expectation from Tucker Carlson or Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I don't understand that. And then they even take it once that further and attack someone like myself.
Who does actually defend the Palestinian resistance? You know?
It's so strange to me. Like I cannot, maybe it's my autism,
But I cannot comprehend where the boundaries are.
I just don't, when I see this like inconsistent framework that a lot of people operate off
of where it is objectively vibes-based, I find it odd.
I find it very strange.
People are in my replies right now acting like you're directly preventing them from organizing
it all.
behavior? Yeah, it's very, very strange behavior. This is just dominated the stream for the
last few months is hard to keep watching. Come on man, what is?
I think it's important to make sure that we coalesce around one another and cooperate
with one another. You know?
It's important. We don't have the numbers. We don't have the opportunity to just like
cast one another aside.
Shroyka Chakravarti says honor to earn Inhan Omar's endorsement. I first met her at a time
when Trump was attacking her personally on a daily basis and even then I never saw her
flinch once. Representative Omar is fearless. She has the determination to resolve the fight
for what's right against the greatest odds. And she has taken huge personal risk in doing
Representative Omar's politics and moral clarity have changed the political reality in Washington, and she's one of the strongest pro-peace and anti-war voices in Congress.
She is the model for what we need from our Congresspeople today, and I look forward to working with her.
Here, I'll give you another inconsistency.
There are those I have seen that will disparage AOC and will say, like, you know, she's not serious.
But then also and love Rashida Tlaib, right? But then they also fucking hate
Shroycott and will find in their minds because they hate Shroycott, they don't
trust Shroycott. And in their minds they make this calculation where
they're like, well Rashida Tlaib and maybe Ihan Omar are doing this endorsement
because maybe Shroycott's giving them money, right? They need money and Shroycott's
probably giving them money. They don't think that there is like, you know, they don't see
the inconsistency here. It's very odd. The first one isn't an inconsistency. People
are always going to be more mad at their own side because they know better than the Libs
slash hogs. I don't think that's the appropriate way to move. I think it's important to address
grievances that we might have and engage in comradely disagreements. It's normal. It happens
all the time. The problem is, when I do that with people like AOC, people think it's not
enough. It doesn't go far enough, right? But they think it's actually a defense across
the board, unconditionally. And I also, beyond that, feel like people immediately look for
ulterior motives. We become very cynical. You get more mad at leftist long-term subs
than hogs. It's normal to have higher expectations from those who usually disagree with it than
those you expect nothing from. Sure. Part of that is because long-term subs have been
been in here long enough to not be, uh, not be so uncharitable, you know, that's what
it is.
All right.
It's the disappointment.
You see, like you've been in here, you've, you've, you know, given me money for months
and months and months.
So when you turn around on a dime and just be like, Oh, I've been in here for, I've been
here for a decade almost, but honestly, fuck you. You're a real piece of shit. You've betrayed
this cause. I find that ridiculous, you know? To change. I mean, I see that as someone who's
fallen by the wayside, someone who has unfortunately fallen victim to algorithm-boosted divisiveness.
the forces of the inertia in the United States in terms of policy on Israel are
huge and powerful it's not just as I'm slobby in this trouble is you'd be
charitable to them but not Green Party candidates or people like Jill Stein yeah
true I think there's a good reason for it and I've described it over and over
again
But she'll sign up too. What's she been doing? It's not just Christian and angelicals who are powerful groups with money and votes and and and representation in the Republican Party.
It's the military industrial complex. It's the foreign policy establishment. They are all utterly biased in favor of Israel. I mean, you look at the foreign policy institution, one and the other, the other.
everybody who's been a diplomat, everybody who's been involved in the depressive movement,
the whole of and all of these so-called think tanks, I put the word think,
scare quotes, and he's not much thinking, there's, there's, there's,
like for the record, I've always been, I've always been much more sympathetic to,
to PSL than the Green Party in America. I like the Green Party in the UK, right?
You know, I've talked about the reasons as to why I feel like I feel like there are
opportunities out there, you know, lemming like thinking they'll jump off the same cliff
or the same time in the same direction with the same, yeah, those people are dead set
against and then you have bio chem biomedical you have high tech they're all they're all
plugged into Israel.
Those are powerful forces in our society, the billionaires.
Your chair of ability candidates is proportional to their odds of taking power when a populist
left green party, a third party has gained prominence.
You've supported it.
The U.S. greens are a joke.
So you treat them that way.
It's not personal.
Yeah.
If the, if the American green party had any sort of sincere viability, then it would
be a dramatically different calculation.
Like here, I was talking to someone else about the Maureen Galindo conversation as well.
I know people get really frustrated when I bring this up because it's like utterly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things
And it's so funny how much time it's taken in this conversation much bandwidth. It's taken here, but
Um like
Maureen Galindo is seen unspeakable violence, right as
as many of us has as well, but as an unknown entity that is a loose cannon that very clearly
doesn't have the same fundamentals that, like, you know, Chris Rabb has, you know, decades
of advocacy, decades of work that I can point to, just because someone has slipped on a dime
and has seen this violence and is now communicating about this violence, but sometimes in ways
that are definitely insane, who said things like, you know, Jews control Hollywood and
and, you know, operate a synagogue of Satan and things of that nature, like, what a fuck
would I go out the bat for a person like that when I don't even know what she's gonna say
tomorrow when I don't agree with that? You know, and people I think genuinely lean into
more and more unhinged people because they're frustrated.
But I see that, especially at a time when I have this insane fucking microscope that
I exist under, where people come in here and say, hey man, you have to take this candidate
Seriously when they are not taking themselves fucking seriously and that actually will have
Impact on other serious candidates that I'm aligned with like why the fuck would I?
Why would I do that?
This person has done nothing to establish credibility in this space. This person has done nothing that I have seen beyond
Being an anti-zionist seemingly ostensibly, right?
it doesn't make any sense.
Like I'm over here working with people like Adam Humawi,
Abdul El Sayed, Chris Rapp, who just won his primary, and numerous others all around the country.
And you want all of that work to fall by the wayside for the canon of the the barrage of
Attack adds to just form on its own.
For me to step on a fucking landmine of someone who I don't agree with overall, who is an
entity that I'm unfamiliar with altogether, in a fucking race where there's no guarantee
that she's going to win regardless and you are just like deeply unserious you're like
you have to do this you have to endorse this person it's fucking insane it's insane why
Why would I do that?
If she was a relative newcomer and she wasn't running around saying, you know, in the past
or promoting statements like Hollywood is the synagogue of Satan owned by Jews, if she
wasn't doing any of that, if she didn't believe that kind of stuff, if she had like a, like
get, you know, decent approach to this issue, even then it would be a risky decision to
just like go out to bat and endorse someone, right? But at least I would be more willing
to entertain it.
I'm going to say it, these people are stupid and like discernment. They want you to act
towards politics in the way they do,
the seat of their pants and react to the whatever gets offered up on their
for you page a little bit.
I feel like many people haven't seen that stuff because you only briefly covered
it. I mean I did cover that angle as well though.
I think I have a fairly nuanced approach to this issue as well because I don't
think it's a it's the appropriate thing to like endorse her opponent to look the
people of San Antonio will make their fucking decision you know but I'm not
gonna fucking go out of my way it's very dumb
yeah it's a monitor from a far type situation
It doesn't help that the people condemning her are condemning probably the least objectionable
thing she said, the ice camp thing and not that Jesus was combating the same synagogue
of Satan 2000 years ago that we are today, yeah I know.
doesn't. But that's the, that's the calculation I'm making when I say like, yeah, I'm not
gonna fucking go out the bath with this person. You all are insane. Because at that point,
it's like, I mean, you might as well, if that's, if that's the only thing you care about, then
like, the reality of the matter is, it's like, okay, go out to bath for fucking Nicholas,
Flentes too then, you know? He's anti-Israel too ostensibly. Dandalsarian is too. Even
if, even in more englandos like Fundamentals are not, you know, firmly established in the
ideological commitment to fascism in the same way that Nicholas Flentes' ideology is, well
like some people do unironically slip into the groeperism of it all. They become fans
Candace Owens, for example, and make no mistake, in that conversation, Maureen Galindo's
worldview, while still baked with half-cock theories and, you know, unvarnished anti-Semitism,
like, is considered to be objectionable in comparison to the worldview of a objectively
Zionist, DMFI endorsed cop who wants the fund dice. Okay? And that's ridiculous. This entire
system is busted in a world where no one has, or in a world where light condemnations every now
and then are given to the likes of Randy Fine, but the very same Democrats that are never going to
condemn Randy Fine whatsoever will say, oh, I'm going to work to expel this person if she's actually
elected in the office every single day. Yeah, of course, I'm going to fucking bring out the fact
that there is a ridiculous double standard here. Okay. I've never seen any other streamer get held
hostage being asked to prove their loyalty over and over like you do. Then people say you are
audience captured. No one in Normies are weirded out by leftist politics. Yeah.
But I do try to use this as an opportunity to fucking educate people on the broader problem.
Those powerful sectors of the economy and those important voting blocks which have money and
no one is asking you to go out and bet for her is it too much for you to criticize the
you see endorsing a cop wait what dude what the fuck are you talking about I did do that
already and I literally just did that again I reiterated that point I have done that the
fuck I did it yesterday and also just now it's so fucking frustrating bro I feel like
People just want black and white thinking and they don't hear it maybe.
I mean you're a subscriber.
You literally can just rewind if you didn't catch it.
It's the Nithya interview all over again where people criticize you for not doing what you
objectively did.
Yeah, it's very, very strange.
People are just like, people are posturing against what they think I've done rather than
just like looking into it themselves. Yeah. Here's a one minute clip. And the biggest
error in my opinion was for her to then turn around and endorse Johnny Garcia. Okay. If
you're in Texas 35, go vote for Johnny Garcia. Okay. That's ridiculous. You are under no
obligation at all to endorse and push for a fucking sheriff that is pro-ice
and also pro-Israel. That's crazy.
Does that clarify my position? I mean, that's from yesterday.
And Samsung's side, Galindo is also an insane person. It would not be a strong ally in Congress.
Sometimes people who you agree with on an issue can be such a bad advocate that they actively make your efforts harder.
A bad advocate on your side could be just as detrimental as a good advocate on your enemy's side.
The lady made the same point in this interview. Yeah.
I was wrong. Okay. Thank you.
Uncle Jank Uber got quotes in the Atlantic two features for the American left the dust up over. Oh, it's a rush as easy
I don't want to even fucking give this a time of day get out of here
Anyway, my point is here's my point. Okay, my point is
As long as people like AOC prop up those to the left of her over and over again and keep
pushing the conversation and don't make unbelievably egregious red line inducing errors, which
I'll be honest, she has done that in the past.
Like the work entirely for a ceasefire, the calculation that she made there is a horrible
one, okay? But even then, there's a give and take, there's a push and pull. As long as
she's still committed to building out this movement, then what can I do? You know what
I mean? What am I supposed to do? Of course, I'm going to receive that with grace and say
that it's a positive thing overall, especially when it's matched up with the rest of her actions.
ASC support seems to be a normative position in her faction. Yeah,
I don't care about this faction and the normative position in this faction.
Yeah, I also don't know Talarico at all and Talarico is already backed by a, you know,
a liberal, you know, third way adjacent centrist think tank anyway.
I think, I mean, he's great for fucking, you know, Ken Paxton.
This is the thing, endorsing a candidate who's a pro-constitutional cancer
immigrant and pro-genocide is not a red line first.
You could have said nothing, stuff like this is why people don't trust
there, I think so too.
And it just bubbles up and it causes people to be, I mean, look,
it's the same thing with Shroycott.
People see what they see.
they see Shoycott's actions locally and they just laser in on that and that caused them
to mistrust Shoycott. So anything else he's ever done leading up to his candidacy is irrelevant,
right? Justice Democrats irrelevant, Green New Deal irrelevant, working with Bernie and AOC all
the way back in 2015, 2016 irrelevant. What's relevant is the decision that he made and the
money that he gave to Daniel Lurie. And I understand why people are frustrated by that.
I understand why people are skeptical of that. And I try to show you the bigger picture, okay?
The problem is most people just, you know, they lack the nuance. They just don't.
They don't see it. They don't see the other stuff. Or at least once that skepticism is set in with
AOC or even with Troika Chakrabarti, it's over. Every other thing that they've done that actually
goes against their prior assessment of this person, being an asset or an enemy,
is cast aside or analyzed from this deeply skeptical lens where it's like, oh,
Vrishiday Nihon are probably not making this calculation that someone like myself has made as
as well. It's actually probably because of some other ulterior motive.
Our policy running the United States of America overall is just simply not true. Donald Trump
is the commander in chief. Donald Trump is running this government, not BB Netanyahu,
the Israelis. And I think what you're seeing is some of the most protest language, which
is pure anti-Semitism, that's just not going to be tolerated. And I'm glad to see that
we have members on the other side of the aisle who are calling us out where it stands, because
we cannot allow this kind of rhetoric to continue. We have to be very bold and stand firmly against
it so the American people can clearly see where everybody stands on this issue.
And I'll add, before we turn it over to Josh and I'll add, that when you walk around the
the state of Florida or any other part of this country, most people find this to be just
as disgusting as the three of us on this panel find it disgusting.
Yeah. Paul Hughes accused of anti-Semitism is really government is as evil as Hamas.
Again, it's so funny because like Maureen Galindo pledged to jail, American Zionists.
Like that is not the actual anti-Semitic side. I mean, she's fucking crazy, but the shit
that she said that's like actually anti-Semitic are, you know, the things that they're not
even talking about.
Well, that's an interesting point, Congressman. Congressman Gottheimer, what's your response
to that, first of all, I mean, just to kind of unify around this issue?
I totally agree with what Byron just said, and I appreciate that, because there is zero
place in our politics for this kind of hatred uh... and and whether it's
anti-american anti-semitic or frankly
against any group
it should be unacceptable yet except for muslims because josh got him or himself
has said islamic of the shit
literally in congress around muslim congresspersons
as a matter of fact
in our country in our politics
but what you're seeing right now is this rise of hatred
on the far left in the future hatred against the beautiful state of israel
Which is my emotional support apartheid state that's doing a genocide and if you actually say anything about it
I I am a Jewish man after all. Okay, if you say something about Israel then all of a sudden
I'm going to say this is anti-semitic. How dare you?
This kind of conversation is is so ridiculous. I imagine fucking saying this about any other country
Oh my god, I can't believe you're shitting on Saudi Arabia. How can you do that? I'm Muslim. That's really fucked up
Oh, you recognize the Armenian Genocide? Well, I'm a Muslim Turk and you're being Turkophobic. You're being Islamophobic
Fucking ridiculous
Everyone would laugh you out of every fucking room, but of course because Israel has
tremendous amounts of of clout in Congress and a
multi-million dollar
sophisticated influence peddling operation and a lobbying arm
You can you could say this kind of shit and people have to take you seriously, okay?
Ridiculous
Right you've got streamers like Hassan piker and Candace Owens who promote it who encourage it as as barn said to push it out online
And spew such hatred like Hassan piker saying calling Jews pig dogs
And you've got Candace Owens questioning whether the Holocaust ever occurred. He's a denier, right?
Things like that are are so disgusting and then of course, it's not a thing that took place. Okay?
There's also another there's also another fucking annoying thing where we play this like game of telephone
They're like a Sampak are called juice pig dogs. First of all, no, I didn't
Okay, the clip that you're referencing is me yelling at someone who's like defending Israel's violence
And I'm saying you're a blunt thirsty big dog. You're you decided that that person is Jewish for the record
Okay, and secondly no one even fucking knew myself included that this was like supposed to be
Anti-Semitic the only the only instance where I've ever fucking heard this being used this term being used as red alert when they go
capital is big dog
Okay
Fucking ridiculous is like not even a real point of contention people don't even bring this shit up
You had this candidate just this week in Texas, right, this Democratic candidate, who said-
Why did you get banned for that then? What the fuck? Wait, what? No, I didn't.
I didn't get banned for that. What are you talking about?
That's not a thing that happened.
that Jews and Zionists should be put in concentration camps, right? And just said it like it was nothing.
Of course, the Republicans are pushing it along so that other people see it. But, you know,
we should be very clear that that is not only not welcome in the Democratic Party, but we are going to be
No. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I got banned for calling someone a Zionist insert in bracket animal.
Okay, like an animal name one one specific animal that wasn't a like a pig dog or something like that
No, no, no, no, that's the totally see. That's what I mean is a totally separate instance
the ADL
You were banned you streamed on YouTube after the event. No, that's not why are you explaining to me what I got fucking banned for you idiot?
No
No, this is a totally separate thing that he's fucking bringing up and he's confusing even people in my chat
and they're trying to explain to me why I got fucking banned. No, the only reason why I got banned
is because the ADL went to Twitch, okay, and made Twitch change its terms of service.
That's a thing that happened, okay, where Twitch made Zionists a protected subgroup.
So when I call someone a Nazi pig, for example, there's no ban. It's not,
you know, Nazi is not a protected group, okay? Or if I call someone even an Islamist,
you know, an Islamist fundamentalist pig or something like that, that's not a
banable offense, okay? It is, however, a banable offense to use any kind of animal
name, any kind of animal and Zionist together, okay? That is, yeah, I can call
hogs pigs all day, I'd call Republicans pigs all day, fascist pigs, Republican pigs, Democrat
pigs, you could say that.
The only group that you're not allowed to say that about is the ideology of Zionism.
Those who believe the ideology of Zionism.
That's it.
And that is because the ADO changed the rules on Twitch.
That is the reason why I got banned, for no other reason.
I think the Gotthimer thing is like when you say Orthodox Jewish, Israeli settles the animal
name, no, no, no, no.
The Orthodox settlers, one was me saying, me using the term inbred.
Anyway, none of this fucking matters, okay?
The reason why they're doing it is not because of that.
The reason why they're doing this is because I'm fucking anti-Israel, and that's it, and
not only am I anti-Israel, but also mainstream media actually fucking gives me the time of
day despite my anti-Zionist position, and that is what's so fucking frustrating, okay?
That's it.
That's the real problem.
If I was pro-Israel and I was saying whatever kind of fucking heinous shit they claim that
I'm saying, they wouldn't have an issue with that at all.
They don't have an issue with Randy Fine, for example.
at the top of our lungs and say get out, you're not welcome here, you're not part of this
party or this country.
Look, not to go all Leo Tolstoy on both of you, but when you-
Yeah, I wonder who's closer between Josh Gottheimer being unlimited support for Israel and even
fucking Maureen Galindo, who is objectively anti-Semitic and has said anti-Semitic shit,
but is anti-Israel.
who is closer to the average democrat voter at this point
that's what's so funny about this conversation is that like
i don't agree with morring glendo
but the fact that she is anti-israel regardless of how fucking unhinged she
is
put sir
in a closer
uh... attitude
to the average democrat then fucking josh gotheimer who's like maximum support to
the state of israel
that's just literally
objectively the truth
if you don't want people like marina lindo to gain any sort of prominence
whatsoever
then run actual fucking anti-zionist
but the party
only runs
pro-israel people so of course sometimes people who run against the pro-israel
people
gain
a lot of fucking prominence from the audience
find themselves making a difficult decision. Maybe they don't find it as difficult as a
matter of fact, because they go, well, what am I supposed to do? I'm going to vote for
the anti-Israel candidate. It's that simple. It's that fucking simple. And Facebook commenters
are literally on board with her message. Is the Sean Hannity interview still
happening? No, he fucking he escaped. He pushed it back. Yeah, every day that gas
becomes more and more expensive, every day that we rip apart the strategic
reserves that we have is a day where people absolutely fucking associate Israel with that
price increase and get more frustrated at Israel.
Colourate, hate and wickedness in your party and any party, you yield this sometimes.
And we watch Kamala Harris either write in her book and then say it on camera, but couldn't
pick Josh Shapiro, who's the governor of Pennsylvania because he's-
Okay, I don't give a shit about this. Josh got Heimer as a bitch
And I'm you know far more maligned influence in American politics than anything I could have ever done
Strong pushback on Capitol Hill. All right, let's talk about
Speaking of gas the mountain fascinating the Fox News is a post a story like this
What is this a Georgia handyman swap this car for a pink Barbie car toy the beat rising gas prices?
Mali high tower pulled a broken power wheels dream camper out of the trash and install the small gas engine from a power wash
to give him an alternative to speed around town instead of his usual mode of transportation.
His 1996 Mercedes Benz convertible typically costs about $90 to fill. The tiny pink vehicle tops
out around 35 miles per hour and is now turning heads everywhere as he goes, uh, as, um, everywhere
he goes is America's search for cheaper ways to get around. You know what's funny? This guy is
still supporting Trump. That's what's so funny about it. I'm willing to bet this guy's gonna be
I feel like, yeah, you know, I did this thing
and I still love my president
and I feel patriotic driving around in my Barbie dream car.
I'm about to pull you up.
Cats are getting too hot, so I gotta do what I can.
I can't do my regular cars.
I gotta do my little mini cars.
So if I get $1 or pump six, that'd be great.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
I'm going to take some of that $4 gas.
By the way, we are literally subjecting ourselves to Cuba conditions right now.
Once again, because of Israel.
Israel. That right there is literally ingenuity. It's wonderful. It's brilliant. Love it. Also,
that's what people in Cuba have to do, right? You don't have to do that in America. America
is the developed nation state. And also on top of that, not in the crosshairs of a much
larger, you know, Imperial superpower, right? And the way that Cuba is. And yet we are doing
that to ourselves. We are doing that to ourselves right now. Fuckin' awesome, great. Anyway,
speaking of countries, you know, third world nations that America obviously represents
for the record, again, because of our own unlimited appetite for death and destruction
around the world, we are basically punishing ourselves.
Donald Trump has an anti-DOJ, or Trump's DOJ is created an anti-weaponization fund.
This is, of course, here we are, happening in the heels of Donald Trump, trying to sue
the IRS in the submission to the tune of $10 billion, with his own former defense attorney
that is now the acting attorney general, Todd Blanche.
Let's take a look.
All over potential taxpayer-funded payouts to President Trump's allies as part of a deal
with the Justice Department.
It is not just Democrats raising objections.
Senate Republicans have objected as well. And this could have all kinds. Ripple effects on the
president's legislative agenda. Ed O'Keefe's at the White House with the details. Ed, good morning.
Major, get to see a closed door meeting on Capitol Hill with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche,
for example, left many Republicans still unsure about this Justice Department fund.
Some senators say they pressed for answers and walked away wanting even more clarity on who
exactly might get paid. One lawmaker called the fund a, quote, curveball that nobody anticipated.
As skepticism, especially among Republicans, continues to grow.
The Trump administration's new so-called anti-weaponization fund now is costing the president
in another way. It's stalling a major Trump priority to fund border security and immigration
and customs enforcement. The nearly $1.8 billion fund created by the Justice Department to compensate
people who say they were targeted by government actions is drawing intense pushback from Democrats.
people are hurting and this administration is acting as if the
American people are their ATM. And now a growing number of Republicans like
North Carolina Senator Tom Tillis who calls the fund quote a pay-up pot for
punks. Under what circumstances would it ever make sense to provide restitution
for people who were either pled guilty or were found guilty in a court of law?
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche tried to make the case to Republican
Senators are what sources described as a tense meeting.
Senator Tommy Tuberville told CBS News, Blaine said there would be no compensation for those
who assaulted law enforcement.
CBS News has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
The confusion is fueling Republican frustration.
This is just stupid on stilts.
But the White House continues to defend the fund.
This is a small measure of the justice that they are owed.
Among those who say they are owed, Enrique Tario, a leader of the Proud Boys.
This is awesome.
Then pardoned by the president for helping organize the insurrection.
You know, I lost a lot.
I was in solitary confinement for three years, just in legal fees, right?
And that like one and a quarter million.
Another thing dividing the GOP is the Iran War.
The House, they'd scheduled to vote to limit the president's power over the war.
It likely would have passed against the White House's wishes and is now scheduled for June.
Gail.
All right, to be continued for sure.
Thanks a lot.
major it's interesting to see the the pushback from the republicans
what does this all mean so look the white house still might muscle this
through it as a long track record of muscling through even the senate
republicans your house republicans object for a moment or two so you have to
keep that in mind but there are new
problems for the white house because bill cassidy now has no loyalty to the
white house he lost last saturday john cornyn might not have any loyalty to
the white house after tonight is a the very fact that bill cassidy
and John Cornyn are only now, or not John Cornyn necessarily, but like Bill Cassidy is the best
example of this. The very fact that Bill Cassidy is only now deciding to take certain actions
against Donald Trump because he's on a vengeance quest implies that every single Republican in
Congress is a complete and utter demon. They all know what the fuck they're doing, okay?
This is proof of what we knew here already. They all know that there is no real audience
for the decisions that they're making. They're serving an audience of one, Donald Trump. They
don't give a shit. They don't give a shit. There is no moral conviction here. They're
They're just slaves to Donald Trump who's a slave to Israel, so that I guess they're
doubly slaved by Israel.
But just understand that.
If you are in any shape or in any way, shape or form confused about whether or not these
guys know what they're doing just know they know exactly what they're doing
okay? they know exactly what they're doing
they don't care
they know what they're doing is wrong they know what they're doing is immoral
they know what they're doing is bad for their voters
they don't give a shit
Great, you say he loses runoff with Ken Paxton.
That now creates five or six Senate Republicans who have no vested interest anymore in helping
the president move his agenda.
That could be problematic.
Thank you.
This is the most flagrantly, staggeringly, obscenely corrupt thing that Trump has ever
done in office.
I have in my hand what purport, dude, this is so funny.
Legal legal is, is pissed off.
I mean, it's true, by the way, everything he's saying is true.
This January six shit is so fucking insane.
And not only that, but he also argued for a carve out where the IRS, like where he has
a protection against, you know, IRS actions in the future too.
It's fucking ridiculous.
It's to be the settlement of Trump's claims against the IRS for the disclosure of his
tax agreements.
That is a lie.
That is a fraud on the American people.
What Trump is doing here is creating an illegal fund of billions of dollars to pay out whomever
he chooses, including and especially the traders who breach the capital and tried to overturn
the election to turn it over in Trump's favor.
My blood is boiling.
This is a new low for this administration.
And this is an administration that has been rife with corruption and illegality, but this
is probably the worst thing that they have done so far.
Now suffice to say, the president cannot take taxpayer money and give it to whomever
he wants.
This, unbelievably ironically named anti-weaponization fund is exactly that.
He's going to pay out his friends, his family, and domestic terrorists.
And that's just who we know about.
I'm frankly running out of adjectives.
This is theft. This is corruption. This is treason.
If he gets away with this, there are simply no more limits,
at least with respect to what Trump can do with taxpayer money.
If he can pay out billions with a B to his cronies without any real oversight,
I don't know, are we done as a country?
At best, this is Orban-esque, but this is frankly verging into Putin territory.
And of course, the corruption chair-
No, it is. Not verging, it is.
It's one million percent in violation of everything this government has ever stood for, theoretically.
Okay?
It is 100% full blown Turkification. This is like, those who are fresh off the boat from
third world countries developing nations around the world have already experienced the version of
this in their countries. I've seen it in Turkey. This is literally unheard of in America to do
do this in broad daylight, no sophistication whatsoever, so openly, so nakedly, cruel and
incompetent, and also directly just engaging in the act of theft, it is, I've never seen
anything like it happening in America, I never thought that this would happen in America.
This is literally the one thing that every fresh off the boat immigrants, parents will
say does not happen in America, right?
It's a failure of the system, it's done.
Free on top of the corruption Sunday is that Trump is personally ending and for paying
all audits and suits into his businesses and his family's finances.
Oh, and the government is issuing him an apology as well.
Wonderful.
talking about this as if it is a legal settlement to the claims that he had against the government
that he has control over. But it is not. This is not a settlement. This has about as much
to do with a legal settlement as a shoehorn has to do with a French horn. I'm reluctant
to even talk about the legalities or the legal aspects of this because there's nothing legal
about this. There was no process here. There was no judicial review. There was no decision
by a fact finder or a jury. This is simply Trump taking.
Yeah, Trump literally said, give me $1 billion and we'll call it a day.
It's incredible.
I still, it's genuinely unbelievable how bad this is.
I genuinely, I don't know what to say.
Because it's straight up stealing money from the American taxpayer for himself.
But he can do anything he wants with it.
And you know who actually put it?
You know who actually fucking wrote the standards of this agreement?
Trump's own defense attorney, Todd Blanche, who is the current acting defense attorney,
now our acting attorney general, because the previous attorney general, who also was another
Trump defense attorney, was fired.
But his both of his fucking attorney generals are his defense attorneys.
It's insane power and paying it out to whomever he wants to.
That being said, the thick leaf that they are using to cover up their own manifest corruption
and illegality is that this was related to a demand that Trump had for $10 billion related
to the 2020 disclosure of his tax returns by a contractor at the IRS.
Now we are in the process of writing and filming a video that goes into much more detail about the
legal aspects and really more relevant here the illegal aspects of what's happening that's
going to come out in a few days but suffice to say Trump's suit was unbelievably bogus. Again,
you can sue anyone for anything and claim that you're entitled to however much money you want
but in that case in the best of circumstances a disclosure of those kinds of tax returns would
would be limited to $1,000 per disclosure.
And the statute of limitations is two years,
which has long since elapsed.
Oh, and by the way, the president who was in control
of the IRS at the time that those tax returns were disclosed
was President Trump himself.
Oh, and the irony here is that, yes,
while leaking tax returns is illegal,
the only reason the American people
didn't already have Trump's tax returns
is that he refused to turn them over,
like every single other presidential candidate
does as a matter of course, when they run for president.
And of course, which he pledged to eventually release and never did.
But he was probably withholding them because he was looking down the barrel of hundreds
of millions of dollars of fines related to his tax crimes, including double dipping.
Crimes which he has now given himself immunity.
And those crimes and-
Not just himself!
Um, I said this earlier too.
But his shit head family members, including his dickhead kids, his sons, and his companies
as well. Dude, it's kind of awesome how open and how naked this corruption is. It is incredible
to watch it unfold and then, it's remarkable to watch it unfold and then have like his cult.
Look at this and go, what now, Lib Tard?
Yeah, he's stealing from me, fuck you, he deserves it.
We are truly in uncharted territory.
Like, this is Donald Trump's, I can execute someone on Fifth Avenue and my fans would
still love me moment.
This is straight up an execution.
is the thing that Republicans fucking hate the most, right? If they had any ideological
commitment to a movement or a belief system bigger than Donald Trump, this would be it.
What do Republicans complain about all the time? Oh man, the government is so corrupt.
Oh man, where are my tax dollars going? Well, it turns out your tax dollars are going to
to Donald Trump and whoever he wants to give your tax dollars to.
So if you personally don't look at the situation and go, this is insane, okay, a chatter brought
up a really good point and I have to address it.
He said, well, they claim they hated pedophilia too and here we are.
Okay, fair.
Fair.
At this point, to expect Republicans to care about anything beyond whatever it makes Trump
happy is a silly endeavor, okay?
The only thing Republicans are animated by is to praise dear fucking leader.
He doesn't take his salary though, brother.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah, he doesn't take his, like, meager wages in comparison to how much he has literally
done insider trading.
There's no fucking way you're that stupid, right?
That has to be bait.
Who even brings that up at this point?
Yeah, he doesn't need a salary.
He's made, like, $6 billion since he became president, you fucking idiot!
The tax crimes of his family members and businesses were not even part of his suit against the
IRS.
throwing them in because why not?
The New York Times is reporting that the IRS actually issued a 20 page report on how bogus
this suit was.
This suit was a joke and frankly on this channel we treated it as such because it was so stupid
and so brazen and frankly we thought the worst it was going to come from it was that it was
just going to be tossed out of court and it was going to waste taxpayer resources.
My God, how wrong we were.
But what became legitimately interesting is that the judge in that case realized that
there was a problem.
Trump was not only the plaintiff in this case, but also the defendant.
He controlled the IRS and the Department of Justice.
And so the judge appointed what are called anarchy to discuss whether there was something
called a case in controversy.
You can't just sue yourself.
You can't collude with a friend to sue over something and get a payout and get a payout
when there's no real controversy and there's no adversity.
And the judge correctly realized that and because the Trump Department of Justice couldn't
be trusted to actually defend that suit, they appointed an anarchy to discuss that particular
issue.
By the way, the entire loadstone of right-wing judicial theory right now rests on what's
called the Unitary Executive Theory, which purports that there is no distinction between
the president and anyone in the executive branch.
Which even by that particular theory meant that Trump was suing himself and absolutely
could not have recovered from the public coffers, from his bogus BS case.
But the fact that Trump sued himself as the sitting president is a scandal in and of itself.
The fact that the interim head of the Department of Justice, Todd Blanche, is Trump's personal
lawyer who should have been conflicted out of that position.
That is a scandal.
The fact that we even got to this point alone shows us how low the bar has got.
Trump's lawsuit has rubbed out as much legal basis as your average sovereign citizen nonsense
who claims that they can drive a car without a license or isn't required to pay taxes.
As you can tell, I'm angry.
And what's worse is that right-wing news sources are simply ignoring this because it
is absolutely indefensible. But honestly, I don't think people understand how bad this
really is. This settlement creates a slush fund that will be controlled by a five member
board, which-
What Trump is doing is literally how libs purchase Kim Jong-un, the cash flows, Hugo
Chavez, the CCP, the Central Committee, the USSR, etc. in order to justify their own system
that produced Donald Trump. Absolutely. No, this level of like, this level of naked corruption
is far beyond the most exaggerated claims that liberals make about our socialist adversaries,
okay? Even the way that we present foreign adversaries as corrupt autocracies, don't get
to this level. Vladimir Putin doesn't do this in broad daylight.
Reshphtibaduan doesn't do this in broad daylight in the way that Trump is doing,
because that's how fucking stupid the average American hog is.
Like, I'm telling you, I'm Turkish, I grew up in this fucking environment. I've seen
Recep Tayyip Erdogan engage in unbelievable levels of corruption by way of his family.
And even then, there is a legal process, or at least like some kind of fake legal process,
or some kind of shelter from the average Turkish citizen directly seeing the Erdogan regime go,
Give me the fucking tax dollars. I'm gonna put it in my pocket and I'm going to protect my family members directly in broad daylight
It's actually insane so in some ways Donald Trump isn't lying when he says he's the most transparent president
It's just that he is transparently and nakedly corrupt
He is unbelievably transparent in a way where no other fucking tyrant even is that transparent because they at least know
that if they were to be that transparent in their naked corruption, their brazen corruption,
then their own fans would probably rise up and revolt.
Of course, is appointed by Trump. He can add or remove members as he sees fit.
There will effectively be no oversight whatsoever.
And by the terms of the settlement, they can basically choose to hand out money to whomever they want
under whatever criteria they want.
And you can bet that they will pay out whoever Trump wants.
There are no real garden rails here. This is pure patronage for a king.
The language allows the board to pay whoever they want.
They can pay Trump if he wants to under any criteria, but make no mistake.
President Trump.
Yeah, like someone actually brought up a good point.
At least I don't took all that fucking funds, took all those funds,
and gave it to his son-in-law.
But then his son-in-law at least built like a fucking indigenous defense manufacturing
business that's like fairly competitive.
This is just Trump literally say like give me the billions. I'll give it to some people
That were a part of this insurrection my my own paramilitary force and then the rest I'll pocket on my own
There's nothing you can do about it
You know
Again in fucking broad daylight
June 1st, 1933, the fund of German trade and industry has created a huge slush fund administered
by Martin Bormann in the furor's name. The regime used the funds to compensate SA stormtroopers
who committed street violence, subsidized the SS, and enriched Nazi party officials.
Yeah, this is actually kind of worse than that because it's not even an organized militia. I
guess it's I'm happy that we don't have an organized SS style paramilitary formation yet.
Yet, yet.
But Trump is just giving this to like random fucking HVAC business owners who storm the
halls of the Capitol and also his own, like he's gonna just fund his own damn self.
Oh, true.
I mean, we have ICE.
I guess you're right.
We have ICE.
This has become the fact, though, bad.
Is raping the public treasury for his own gratification?
And this slush fund agreement?
It's a troll.
It purports to claim that Trump is not being paid out.
But if you give someone an account with billions of dollars in it, and they have control as
to how it's paid, even if that account isn't in their name, if they have sole control over
it, it's their money.
And that's exactly what they've done here.
Now, we don't know exactly who will be competent-
Well, sir, I'll have you know that it's not directly in Trump's pockets.
It's actually a five-person committee appointed by Trump's defense attorney, Todd Blanche.
i mean sorry trump's defense attorney todd blanche who is now the acting
attorney general
of the united states of america
so technically
technically who knows what that
hand-selected five-person committee
will decide on who gets to have what kind of money
Do it how JD would rage bait yet.
Erm, actually, this is an important point to make about truth and justice.
It's obvious that lawfare took place against the bravest soldiers that were simply patriotic
and wanted to see the inside of Capitol Hill.
And these people suffered for years, they didn't get to see their families.
For what reason?
Because they love Donald Trump?
If I say it's appropriate to compensate them, I mean, it's not even compensation, bribed.
But we do know for sure that it will include some or all of the January sixers, the terrorists
who tried to overthrow the government.
Of course, they were pardoned and that is an unfathomable scandal alone.
But effectively, what this committee is going to do is they are going to pay out the people
who tried to overthrow the government to put Trump in power.
These are convicted criminals.
The fact that they were later pardoned by Trump doesn't change the fact that these are treasonous
pieces of excrement who tried to stab our democracy in its heart.
Trump has already paid out millions of dollars to traders like Michael Flynn who filed another
bogus lawsuit, but this doesn't even require people to file a lawsuit.
You can bet that some or all of the people who invaded the Capitol on January 6 are
are going to get massive paydays.
Now, in a press release, Todd Blanche said
that the settlement fund was going to include
1.776, 1776, billion dollars
to pay out whomever this committee wants.
And of course, everyone in the media
breathlessly reported that as the number,
approximately 1.8 billion with a B dollars
to convicted criminals among other people
that Trump wants to give patronage to.
But here's the thing, nowhere in this settlement
does it mention that dollar amount.
particular fund that they're pulling from one of the DOJ settlement funds is an ongoing appropriation
but there's not necessarily a limit and certainly there is no limit in this settlement agreement
that limits them to one point. Someone said why is it Nick Shirley talking about this?
Because of the above the law. Trump is above the law.
Because Nick Shirley was at January 6th. So technically he could actually demand some
fucking compensation too maybe that's why he's not asking questions he could get
paid he could get breaded up
On God's say you're lying. No, it's not it's not a lie
Was he actually I didn't know yes, I mean technically I don't think you could actually
try him in court because he's mentally deficient and
at most you can
Try his mother in court because she's the one who escorts him around I
Don't think I
Don't think you could
Actually convict Nick Shirley of any crime because he's not mentally competent enough to stand trial
And like I said, the terms are so ambiguous that they can pay out whoever they want.
A billion dollars for Don Jr. Sure, he was targeted by lawfare.
500 million dollars for election tampering Tina Peters.
Great.
She was pardoned.
Wait, is he like actually intellectually disabled?
Have you heard him speak?
Ten billion dollars for the Republican National Convention, of course.
A billion dollars for rebuilding Trump Tower.
Why not? Of course, Obama did something that requires remuneration. Eight hundred million
dollars for Russian hackers. Absolutely. Step right up and yeah, dude, Nick went to Minneapolis,
Murderapolis and openly demonstrated that he did not know what a mall was, what a medical
plaza was he just Janet he legitimately was like oh why are there so many competing
businesses in the same area what at the money just make up a claim that says you were targeted
by some past administration. There is absolutely no real criteria that isn't forcible.
You want to know is even crazier than Nick Shittley.
The well of depravity is endless in America.
And the market forces are demanding something even worse than Nick Shirley.
And that's how you arrive at Chud the Builder.
So Nick Shirley isn't even the final evolution of conservative stupidity.
The market forces are now demanding someone even worse, a guy that runs around and basically
says the, not basically, a guy that runs around and says the N word with a hard R, two black
people, and then he runs back to his car where he has a gun, where he'll just pull out his
gun and brandish his weapon or threaten the people that get offended by it, okay?
And I have said already, yes, that's a real guy, his name is Chud the Builder.
I said this already, but I think that's not even the worst version of this, okay?
He's going to prison regardless, Chud the Builder is.
But the worst version of this is going to be a guy that just simply barks at black people
and grunts at black people.
There's one step beyond a guy who says the n-word of black people and that is just a
guy who can't form sentences, a guy who just simply grunts in the direction of black and
brown people.
Just fucking wait, we are going to get to that point, okay?
I promise you, there's probably someone out there right now that sees the market and where
it's moving and thinks this is the best possible thing to do. A guy who just cannot talk, like
a guy who is incapable of communicating with human beings, who just goes,
and it's just going to be whatever Trump wants and whomever Trump wants to give money to. He's
going to pay some of the people who invaded the Capitol and tried. What a liberalized take,
the Klan will be streaming on kick within a year, buddy.
The Klan is already fucking streaming on kick.
To turn the election in his favor, and he might be prepaying the next people.
He could say, hey, as long as you use this money to go buy a bunch of AR-15s and be in
Washington next January 6th, great, go out and do it.
As if pardoning the people who committed crimes for Trump's benefit weren't bad enough, now
he's going to pay people to do it in the future.
I just, I simply do not have words for this.
These people are brown shirts.
They are Nazis.
They are Trump's personal Praetorian guard.
And now they get taxpayer funding.
Congratulations.
And even if it were limited just to $1.8 billion, that is a staggering amount of money.
With that, you could fund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Voice of America.
Woke.
Well, okay.
Well, that one is literally fucking CIA cut out.
I mean, I don't give a shit about funding Voice of America, but, but again, woke public
broadcasting.
Excuse me.
Woke Eagle.
still have enough left over to fully fund the National Endowment for the Arts.
I think it's hard for late people to grasp just how much money a single billion dollars,
let alone 1.8 billion, let alone an unlimited amount of money that is not defined in the settlement agreement.
And this was always the plan. They have been discussing a payout for the January Sixers for over a year.
They just happen to use this as a vehicle for maximum secrecy and a fig leaf of a legal process.
Under the terms of this agreement, all of this will be confidential.
There will be no accountability to the American people.
We will not know who gets this money
if this is allowed to go through.
We won't know how much money they get.
At most there will be a report given to Todd Blanche
as the acting head of the Department of Justice,
but he is not bound nor do I ever expect
that he would release any of those reports in the future.
And of course, this whole commission expires
right before the next president takes power.
I mean, I probably don't need to tell you
that all of this is flagrantly illegal.
The general counsel for the US Treasury,
who was appointed by Trump and confirmed by Republican Senate resigned as a result of
this incredible document of corruption.
But yes, I will make the obvious point, this is illegal.
This kind of action would require an appropriation from Congress, which it obviously does not
have.
The Anti-Deficiency Act, which we've talked about.
There's no such thing as illegal.
Illegal is...
Illegal doesn't exist.
Okay?
Nothing is illegal if there's no enforcement.
Yeah, we are now in a very postmodern interpretation of the law.
where it is, it's just not a thing, like the concept of illegal action, at least for
the president is not a real thing.
I mean, that's also constitutionally protected too.
We have straight up, we have straight up created new hurdles for the president to ever be prosecuted
for things that he does as president.
A lot in which Trump has violated uncounted number of times makes it a felony to dole
out money that has not been appropriated by Congress.
And no, I don't believe that the appropriation of the Department of Justice covers what they
they are trying to do with this document.
But let me put this on record to anyone
who might be working in the government,
who might be tempted to follow through with this settlement.
Providing any funds as a result of this settlement
is a felony and every single person involved
in the distribution of those funds
can and should go to jail as a result.
And in fact, on behalf of the American people,
I think we need to demand of the next Congress
that that should be a pledge of every single member
of Congress that they will put anyone
in the executive branch who had a hand in this
they go to jail. This is honestly 10 times worse than Watergate. French aristocrats found
their necks in a guillotine for far less than this. This is not hyperbole. It's really
this bad.
Oh my God. I've never heard him talk like this, dude. That's crazy. But also, but also,
I mean, yeah, I'll allow it. But also, but also, how come nobody yells at him when I
I say stuff like that, people go, wow, wow, wow, I, this guy is, is so violent.
Getting record.
Anyway, that doesn't, it doesn't end there.
Okay.
If you thought the, the, the well of depravity stopped with the January six
slush fund, well, let me tell you, okay, there's more.
Huh.
Let me tell you, there's more.
Donald Trump is quite the traitor.
Yes, he's both a traitor and also a stock market player.
Okay?
I'm talking shit that Nancy Pelosi never arrived in her entire career.
Okay?
In the last couple of months alone, since the year of the Holy Lord 2026 started, Donald
Trump has been moving units.
Okay?
Holy shit.
Let's take a look.
You don't have to.
Recently, he released a filing that shows the stock trades that were made on his behalf.
I should say immediately that the president denies exclusively doing these trades.
They say these are all done through fully discretionary accounts independently managed
by third-party financial institutions with sole and exclusive authority over all investment
decision.
Neither President Trump, his family, nor the Trump Organization plays any role in selecting
and directing or approving specific investments.
Now, do we believe that?
I mean, I don't know.
I don't think he's personally directing all the investments.
But what strange is it rhymes with the Nancy Pelosi defense?
Everyone knows Nancy Pelosi is a famously good stock trader, or specifically, her husband
is.
the whole excuse, she says, you know, she's not into stock trading, even though, you know,
she has all sorts of insider information through her role as former Speaker of the House as
a Congresswoman.
So people have been suspicious of her for years.
And what makes this an ironic video is that this is something that Trump actually picked
up on and kind of called her out for.
of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information.
Now, it's funny, as you can see, all the people from Congress standing up for that, but it's
like, wait, wait, aren't we calling out some of you with a room?
Now, this is a line that they say every single time, we need to stop insider trading.
We got to stop people from corruptly profiting on insider information, and then we get a
big fat nothing.
Every time everyone, you know, there's a lot of vocal support, you know, in theory,
and then nothing ever happens.
Nobody ever gets stopped from doing this.
But Nancy Pelosi is specifically singled out here as sort of the worst offender in Congress
for these insider trading allegations.
Did Nancy Pelosi stand up and choose her?
Oh, we got it.
We got it.
You know, everybody has dunked on Nancy Pelosi forever, myself included, and rightfully so.
Okay?
She's the one.
he does it cool style. He does it in a cool way. So it's different, you know what I mean?
We like when Trump does it. He does it not woke. Yeah, yeah, he does it in a
he does it in an anti-woke fashion, whereas Nancy Pelosi is a woman,
which means she's doing it in a woke fashion.
Some of the best traders of all time. In fact, there's even Twitter accounts you can go follow called Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker,
where they follow the specific trades of her husband and you can basically participate in the insider trading allegations
once they're disclosed, which is a little bit late anyways.
But that same account, interestingly, has recently taken over to talking about these
new filings that Trump had to do with relation to what he has been purchasing.
Because there has been a super unusual pattern of not only a lot of trading of various stocks,
but also like Trump has gotten into shilling specific stocks, sometimes even with ticker
symbols.
And the Financial Times specifically did this incredible chart where they showed that, you
You know, the amount of trades has just exploded recently.
And this all coincides with, you know, the Iran war starting here.
You know, the activity was ticking up right before that.
And all of a sudden, you just have a flurry of stock trading activity where previously
you hardly had any.
I mean, there were not that many disclosed stock trades.
So it's worth looking at some of these.
Now, I'll say there are just thousands of these purchases, sales.
I don't know why all of a sudden this automated process or these independent institutions
who are trading on the president's behalf would suddenly start trading now as opposed
to like before where there was hardly any activity.
We don't know that.
But I want to zoom in on some specific egregious cases where we have trades happening around
the time that there just are literal endorsements by the president.
Let's take the one Nancy Pelosi stock tracker highlighted specifically, which is the Dell
call out because on May 8th, the president said, hey, go out and buy a Dell.
They'll go out and buy a Dell computer because they don't care about that.
Bro, I saw is he straight up hosts a ticker of Palantir.
Okay.
one of his true social posts. I can't tell if that was real or not, but I think in one
of his tweets, he's just like Palantir and then he puts the Palantir stock ticker and
he's like, it's a great company. Very cool. You guys should really invest in it.
They care about this. They make a great product. They don't look it for any publicity. I give
of publicity they say well thank you very much but it's okay now this is in response to some like
trump account i think uh you know contribution the dels had made that was ostensibly the reason
but then you look at the trading activity and the people who were purchasing on behalf of trump
bought del five million dollars worth on february 10th and then more on march 2nd more excuse me
me. What if they really wanted to purchase $5 million worth of Dell that day? You have
no proof that he knew that Trump was going to come out and talk about go out and buy
a Dell. They're great.
Excuse me. Yeah, oh yeah, here it is. Palantir Technologies, PLTR has proven to have great
Warfighting capabilities and equipment. Just ask our enemies. President Donald J Trump.
I mean, there's nothing, he's not even tying it to anything. He's literally just like guys.
Please, please pump this stock for me.
Four on March 11th, more on March 23rd.
And then he endorses a little bit later, and you can see what happened to the stock price.
This was an incredible trade, ladies and gentlemen.
Double your money in a few months.
I mean, you kind of don't see big opportunities like that unless you're, I guess, the president.
Here's another great trade.
This was highlighted by Jud Legume.
We went through some of these things.
I'm going to be referencing some of his work here.
So I'll link it below.
But I pulled the specific trades and put it on a chart so you can see exactly where the
purchases were.
This is micron technology.
I'm sorry.
I thought the goal was to fucking buy low and sell high.
Hello.
Kind of feels like that's what Trump is doing.
Didn't realize that we didn't realize it was illegal now to do really great trades.
And see here, the purchases are in the green arrows, and all of these purchases culminated
in the president talking about Micron as an incredible company, and then all of a sudden
the stock goes parabolic after that.
I mean, just has this incredible run right after the president's endorsement, which sounds
like this.
I just left the head of Micron.
It's one of the hottest companies.
I'll be honest.
He kind of called this one like crazy, like look at this run up, right?
Excuse me.
Yeah.
Ron is a crazy good company excuse me excuse me that's the president he's
the smartest that's why he's president and he can beat my ass even though he's
280 pounds and fat as fuck he could still beat my ass sorry I apologize he's
220 pounds and six foot four God forbid a white boy get a little bit of motion
Okay. Mr. President, I love you. You can fuck my wife. Please give her the greatest orgasm she's ever had.
And when you're done, you can take the whole family. And I still will vote for you gladly. I would love it.
I'd be honored if you fucked my wife, Mr. President.
You are so good.
after that. Oh I'm sorry what you're Mr. President you're saying my wife is too old for you okay well
uh what what you're saying my daughter who's my daughter who's who's well my daughter is under
oh okay oh you want okay that you can have her too Mr. President. I almost called the bottom
exactly and I guess the question is does does he know something here is that the endorsement itself
that was you know caused it to run like that. Should we view it as advice when the president
talks positively about a company to go invest in it? I mean these are all questions that come to
mind when you see a chart like this. But not everything is so clear cut. Black and white,
right, where the president buys, the president talks, and then it just goes to the moon.
Before you set up your Trump stock tracker account, it's worth looking at a couple examples
where things don't go so well.
I want to show you one of the kind of bad ones.
This is Thermo Fisher.
So on March 11th, the White House announces
that President Trump participates in a site visit
at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
This is March 11th.
Some great information about this incredible company, please.
When you go to his disclosures,
turns out he had been buying Thermo Fisher prior to that.
Including, by the way, on March 11th.
So there's a purchase on the same day
as the president's actual visit.
the purchase you can see there March 11th and it was apparently for 15 to 50 thousand dollars
the nature of these disclosures is they don't tell you exactly how much was purchased they just
give you a range but when you line these up on the actual trading activity uh this actually is a
coffee zilla in the chat um we're hating on him so i hope he understands that
Also, this isn't coffeezilla. Another coffee runner is not coffeezilla. Coffeezilla's username
is coffeezilla, probably. And we're hating on him because he hates white boys getting
motion. Okay, it's true.
Pretty bad trait does not end up going well. That of course doesn't mean it wasn't corrupt.
Just like when things go well, it doesn't necessarily get so dumb. It's worth emphasizing
that like some of the time there's just money being lost here. And then now let's talk about
probably I think the most egregious example and also the funniest one. This is Palantir.
So Trump famously tweeted out, the stock ticker symbol of Palantir technologies, like
PLTR, has proven to have great warfighting capabilities and equipment to desk our enemies,
President DJT.
So everyone thought this was really weird and then it gets weirder when you realize
the president was a bag holder in this stock, like he had bought high and it started selling
low when the stock went down, which is you know always a good move.
Starts buying when it rallies as it goes up and then it dips way down and this way he fucked up
Wait, he tried to manipulate the market and then his team fucked it up
Wait, what?
Little moment is when the president like shills the the stock. Oh, which I think is you know really bad
I mean again, maybe he had no idea. He was sitting on a bag of Palantir that had just dropped
You know that is definitely possible
But but you know the record is just pretty ugly here
I would say we know buy all-time high sell low buy more
Shill at the lows and then it keeps kind of going lower. I mean
I really know what this says, but I don't know if it is our president
I don't know that he's a great stock trader if it's a third party
I think the third party is not necessarily, you know a great stock trader, you know, but this just all looks really ugly
I mean, it doesn't take a genius to see you don't want to wonder whether your president is, you know, tweeting about something because he's pumping the bags of
stock portfolio or if he actually means something and this is the most lukewarm take.
I mean, you noticed when the president was calling out Congress, everybody stood up, including Congress, because it's just an undeniably
obvious position to hold. No one could possibly disagree with the idea that you do not want corruption, right?
And so that's why we're giving the biggest worm award
To Jim Kramer today ladies and gentlemen because this guy had the opportunity to call this out
I mean just basic stuff like hey, maybe the president Jim Kramer the fucking trot himself, dude
That's right
He's the best shouldn't trade stocks and not only is that an obvious take this is also a segment called
Squawk on the street in CMDC. I mean their job is to talk about the Squawk on the street
The whole idea is you're talking about the Scuttlebutt. You're talking about the opinions of the day and all of a sudden
This slow ball down the center of the plate. Why do you have to do? What do you say?
What's the president?
The US government got in. He could sell it. Yes, and the filings the president's been trading some intel in the quarter
Yeah, yeah
What
He didn't even say anything he physically
Can't what the fuck
Wait, yeah, I did it do it do but yeah, but yeah boob. How is like Austin show?
What the fuck he got hit with a stun grenade brother it was coming by didn't it could sell it
The filings the president's been trading some intel in the quarter. Yeah
Oh my god
Oh my god
What he just he just went fuck it
No, I didn't see this before. No, no, it's incredible. Oh, I gotta run it again. Hold
on. Oh my. It's been trading some intel in the quarter. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, trade. Got nothing to say about it, but it's called riffing you bigot.
No, I think at first he short-circuited and then he just went fuck it. Let's just lean into it because I'm just gonna
Know clearly the entire process is not him having a hard time coming up with words
But the first five full seconds is and then he's just like ha ha. I'm just memeing at the baby boo boo
Yeah
Did the guy short circuit I mean is he falling apart the last brain cells of Jim Kramer dying in slow motion is
trade
I mean speak Jim I like how this guy he has a big old fat smile on his face. He knows this is uncomfortable for Jimmy
So it's fucked up that he lets him it's fucked up that he just moves on he should have been he should have pressed him
She'll be like come on Jim
You got something to say?
You love talking about trades
They should have just kept forcing the issue this guy feels bad. He's like oh my god. I think I killed Jim Kramer
Look at his face. He's like I might as I might have accidentally killed him. He's having a stroke
This is dog out disrespectful
Sticking his dog out. Yeah sitting today takes it to 130. Yeah
Yeah, but you know, the President, the US government got in, they could sell it and
get that number.
Yes, and in order to the filings, the President's been trading some intel in the quarter.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's been trading.
Got nothing to say about it.
But...
Hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, don't worry.
We're not having technical difficulties here, everybody.
But we gotta go.
Jim, we'll see you tonight.
Mad money six p.m. Eastern time s and p 74 33 don't go away
I've never seen anything like this before oh
my god
He's just straight up. He's just straight up starts tweaking dude
What the fuck that?
What the fuck?
Oh my god, how are you not using this after watching Fetterman interviews?
Because I know he didn't actually have a stroke chatter.
Fetterman is a stroke victim. Jim Cramer is a coward.
Yeah, all right, don't worry.
We're not having technical difficulties here, everybody.
We got to go.
Wow.
And they just closed the segment like that like hey Jim Kramer short circuits live on air when asked about presidential trades and we just go to break like isn't this squawk on the street no we discussed that's the whole idea of the entire show that's why the show literally exists unbelievable.
We gotta go.
Jim, we'll see you tonight.
I thought we were the, you know, financial news guys.
Are we afraid to talk about financial news when it's the president?
All of a sudden, we're not willing to talk about it.
That's off limits.
Making fun of Nancy Pelosi, that we all stand up for.
Everybody stands up for making fun of Nancy Pelosi, myself included.
But all of a sudden, it's the president.
We can't talk about it.
What's going on, guys?
Is this North Korea?
I mean, what's happening?
You ask for comments from the two groups, and it's like very similar.
Both say, hey, we have nothing to do with it.
I don't know why we don't just treat apples to apples here, right?
So yeah, I just thought this was obviously dumb. I mean when you investigate it, it looks like some of these trades go great
Some of them go terrible like Palantir, you know, some of the thermo Fisher ones are not good Dell technologies did go well
Micron technology went really well. It's just kind of a mixed bag, but an ugly one, you know, I personally don't want
president, congresspeople, anyone in Washington should not be holding anything other than
an-
Yeah, wrong, wrong. They deserve it. Wrong. Boo. Coffeezilla hates success. What do you expect
from a commie Zilla from a communist like him.
You know,
yeah, this is what can you even say? Honestly, winning, he's
winning so much. And we're saying, please, sir, can we win
little bit too and he's telling me fuck you. This is what he said at the Mike
Lawler rally. He's a dumb person. I said doctor I don't mind being called a
brilliant total tyrant dictator but I don't want to be called dumb. What do I
do doctor? Is there some kind of a test I can take? He said actually sir there is
it's a cognitive test. I said, how many that's not, you don't, that's not a test you take
for how brilliant you are. That's a test to demonstrate you have basic competence, like
basic mental competence. It's a test for people who have dementia. Oh my God, are they actually
making it seem? Are they telling him that this is actually a test of, of not just like basic
mental acuity but
Uh or basic mental competence, but instead it's actually a test about how brilliant you are only the brilliance get this sir
Momfuckers talking about it like you took the LSAT bro
Presidents have taken it none, you know this story
Again
Yeah, I wonder
I wonder why perhaps
Many presidents that actually had the same level of like late stage Alzheimer's that
Donald Trump is currently going through, they knew better not to be in the public eye, than
to be in the public eye all the time, right?
No people have taken it.
He's a dumb-
They didn't go in, but toward the end like they had a question like, pick a number, sir,
any number, okay, 203, multiply times 9, divide by 2.
Wait, why is he not doing it?
Why did he stop?
What's the answer?
on 1324, subtract 1292. Sir, multiply it out one more time by 19. What is the answer, sir?
And I got it right.
I mean, it's basic math, but I'm sorry. I don't think that that was the level of questioning.
And I don't think he's capable of answering that.
He's a dumb guy. I said, wait a minute. He's a Democrat. That's how I got the name.
You take the E out. You don't use the B. A lot of people don't know dumb has to be in it.
A lot of people don't know dumb has a B in it.
A lot of people don't know dumb has a B in it actually.
You don't need it.
and by a lot of people I mean me I learned about that recently and everyone was like
Mr. President if you wish it we will take the B out we will take the B out dumb no
longer as a B in it speaking of our big beautiful and brave president this is what he just tweeted
Come back to our final broadcast ladies and gentlemen
Isn't it crazy that even in the AI version AI depiction of himself he's still a fat piece of shit and
And also on top of that, he still dances in perhaps the most like geriatric autist way
he possibly could.
Brother, it's AI, you might as well make yourself look handsome, hot, dance better.
Why are you fucking contorting?
Welcome back to our final broadcast, ladies and gentlemen.
You discard the bait, but you take the E out and you replace it with the U.
They're dumb. They are Democrats.
You know why? Because their policies are dumb. Their policies are very dumb. He's a dumb guy.
This guy's the mastermind of the most constitutional fraud of the American people to ever take plays.
Yeah, what does that say about our overall level of intelligence? I mean, seriously,
this guy has millions, tens of millions of fans still in the United States of America.
What does that say about our fellow man?
It's terrible, man.
Oh, this was a funny story.
The only type of settlement I'm on board with.

bring in CBS News correspondent Chanel Call live in our newsroom in New York. Chanel, what
led to the officer's arrest?
Right. So Larry Bushert is a 61-

Because honestly, Charlie blessed this man. Okay? Even in his, even after his untimely demise,
Charlie blessed this man, and because he was the true prophet, we have to bless Charlie back.
We have to in some ways perhaps carry the flame. We have to honor his name. Because after all, we are Charlie Kern.
Thank you posted some controversial things about Charlie Kirk's killing in the wake
of that murder. And many of them, by the way, did face consequences, including losing their
jobs. This case was different and rare. Bushert spent 37 days in jail facing felony charges.
And he says in an affidavit that during that time, he lost his post. Does it feel weird
all joking about him when you knew him genuinely curious? No.
If anything, it's my little way of honoring the gospel and carrying the flame.
I mean, it's not like I was a fan of the guy when we were both alive, you know? I made that very clear.

birth of a grandchild. Then in October, 37 days later, he was released. After he
was out in December, he decided to file a federal lawsuit against Perry County.
And today, Mugo, he won an $835,000 settlement. So his reaction to this in a
statement, he says, quote, I am. They be the government rights have been vindicated.
the people's freedom to participate in civil discourse is crucial to a healthy
democracy. I'm looking forward to moving on and spending time with my family.
Back to you.
Thank you so much.
Hunter Biden.
Oh my god, an hour and 49 minutes.
Oh my god.
It says 1.2 million views in one day.
God damn it dude.
I'm pretty sure they banged really.
Okay, first of all, it's messed up, okay?
That's messed up.
Keep your fantasies to yourself, okay?
Owens is now officially celibate, okay, since the untimely demise of
She's giving herself to God
Hunter Biden the Candice Owens if anything ever happened to me I want you
What oh
Oh my god, welcome to the kid is out show this wonderful people just gonna be like how on earth did this happen?
I know I got to get the doctor's eye
I went to dinner with a fellow podcaster
I'm just talking about interviews no dude to me was on the show and he first asked
Who's the best you ever get and I said without question the USS
The way spider filtering and then he said what would be your top interview that you want to do and I said oh gosh
We're in such a different time now
I'm just not interested in politics like it would have to be something so different and then I said actually
Hunter Biden
Damn, I watched your sit down with Andrew Cowhan
Yeah, and it was kind of the most refreshing interview that I'd seen in politics for in a very long time
because we're so used to being gosselt about various things happening everyone's trying to hide stuff and
We write a lot about you. I guess we didn't really hear anything from you
So this I mean the thing is like a lot of people forget that there was an often forgotten side quest that Candace Owens went on
I don't know if you guys remember this
She tried to rehabilitate the image of Harvey Weinstein
So it's kind of the first time. So if she's doing that, then Hunter Biden is not that crazy, right?
Yeah, she tried to rehabilitate Harvey Weinstein, tried to make it seem like Harvey Weinstein was
a victim of woke. And I never fully understood why she did that, because like Harvey Weinstein is
also Jewish too. And she's like very clearly anti-Semitic. So I was wondering, I always wondered
like what the the purpose for that was maybe she got paid to do it i don't know
some speculation was that she was trying to get harvey weinstein to talk about like
international jewelry or something maybe i heard you in your own words just totally
owning your addiction issues also going after jake topper and george cloney and when we were kind
kind of expecting the typical Democrat like these are great guys.
These guys are amazing.
Jake Tapper should, you know, win a Pulitzer.
I don't know.
And I would just, it wasn't what I was expecting is what I would say.
So, uh, and then that person just sort of made this happen.
Yeah.
So I want to just sort of get into the Hunter Biden story.
I will say to the audience right now, I have already, uh, made the pledge.
Or maybe she's a grifter.
Yeah, no shit.
I, I, I know that I'm saying, what is the grift there though?
Like what, dude, there are certain things that you do, even as a grifter, where it
is just like, doesn't make any sense.
This is one of them, right?
Like, who is benefiting from Harvey Weinstein's rehabilitation?
What ideological goal does that serve?
What is the grift there is my question.
I'm the one with you that, like, obviously,
I'm not going to make you say anything bad about your father,
because that would just be completely demonic.
To, like, say something terrible about your father,
everyone knows my opinions, my political perspectives.
They're already out there.
He's your dad. So that is separate from my new points.
Because there's no way I possibly could.
Yeah, of course. I totally get that.
But there's a lot to be said about you and a lot that,
I guess, hasn't been said about your journey.
And I guess I want to start with just one question for the culture.
The cocaine that was found at the White House.
Was it yours?
No, not only was it not my number one is thank you for having me here.
And one of the reasons is to be able to answer these questions.
You know, the one thing I am out.
He does. He has the same look as his dad.
Who is his dad?
Ah, ah, look alive, Jack.
Oh, my God, I haven't I just realized
I haven't done a Joe Biden voice in so long, there was a moment where he like opens his
eyes wide.
One of the reasons this is literally he looks so similar to Joe.
I mean, obviously because he's a son, but like, like that's a Joe look is to be able
to answer these questions, you know, the one thing I am, uh, after six years of this, I've
I've been sober since June 1st of 2019, clean and sober.
Verifiably so, by the way.
And verifiably so by the Bureau of Probation,
in which I was drug tested randomly
for over the course of two years
while I went through my trials and things like that.
But beyond that is that, directly to your question,
I wasn't even there, not only there,
but people have to understand is where
that cocaine was found was,
even the visitor's entrance underneath the,
that is where visitors come in and they come over
the old executive office building staff to go to the go to the oval or go to the
chief of staff's office or to the offices in the West Wing and it was found in a
cubby in right outside of the situation room and it's like no possibility not
even remotely beyond the fact that I wasn't even there I mean I spent
probably you know over the course of four years maybe 25 days at the White
house like 25 nights, 30 if I'm being fair. And so it's just, you know, it was an easy,
easy, you know, I mean, how many easy target and understandably so, right? I mean, I think
probably the most famous addict and famous person is Grace God in recovery for seven years,
but we're close to seven years in first. Okay, so it's boring. I don't care. Why does she,
Why doesn't she bracket off her interviews like different time codes? Like I don't care about his like recovery and shit. Give me the good stuff
Yeah, I definitely thought top coming ticket. Yeah, but I say it because I think that that was a crack at it like I was a
Hey degenerate crack at it. I mean I've heard you call me crack at many times in the truth
So that was a crack at
And and and and and I say that not to shock people because it's really shocking
Back okay and carry such a stigma to it begin with but I say it because I think that there are so many people
I don't think I know there are so many people
I think that there's you know at any given time 30 million
Americans that are either in active addiction or in recovery
There's not a single person that I know that hasn't been impacted by addiction at some level in some form
personally, or with someone that is one degree of separation from them that they love, no
one that I know.
At least of all me.
Yeah.
And part of that, one of the reasons I'm here, the stories that you tell about that in terms
of your family.
And there is where the common ground is for me.
I can 100% say this.
is that I, a friend of mine said to give me this quote about two years ago and it's become
my mantra. It's Mother Teresa. It was attributed to Mother Teresa is if you want to change
the world, go home and love your family. That's my everything now. And part of that is not
just the family that you have by blood and birth, but also the community that you're
inextricably tied to.
And that community for me is the recovery community.
And it's people that are still sick
and suffering from addiction.
And so the biggest reason that I wanted to come talk to you
beyond the fact, and this is not able to smoke,
I think that regardless of whether I agree with you,
that you're probably the most effective communicator
I've ever heard.
Thank you.
I'm behind a microphone.
And it's really drugged me crazy at times.
It's really, really, really crazy.
But is it, I wanted to talk to you about those things and anything else you want to talk about?
Yeah, I was, I'm most interested in the addiction story and it, and I was saying to you before
we got for sort of rolling that this was sort of something that I noticed when I would cover
various topics, whether it was pornography, drugs on my show, drinking, how many men would
write and say they were suffering with various things and yet they don't often speak about
like how they're quietly suffering, whether it's with addiction to pornography, addiction
drugs and I don't think there are enough conversations about it and so when I
watched that interview of you just just laying it out there something that
most people try to hide or they're shameful of I was like there actually
just needs to be more dialogue about it I grew up with tons of addicts in my
family I have people in my family who are still addicted and there is I think
there is a natural anger that people have when they for some reason believe
and I think this was part of the anger that even something that I had it toward
you before I heard you speak about your addiction is that you sort of think when
somebody has money and political connections that that somehow removes
them from going through these sorts of barriers and light.
So when I grew up, it's like, OK, like you have uncles, whatever,
that are addicted to crack, you have cousins that are doing crack,
whatever it is, she's got an addiction to.
The cloud.
Hassan, after he saw Hassan, after he saw his meat pick.
You think she's seen the meat pick?
You think the meat pick is clouding?
Her opinion of Hunter, you think that's in the back of her mind?
Potentially. Could be.
Could be.
Or experimenting with meth and drugs and those things.
And then you see someone that has a life of privilege and for some reason in your mind you wrongly go, okay, that can't happen.
And it did happen.
I'd like to hear how you got addicted, what was actually the story, your path toward addiction.
Yeah, so thank you for letting me talk about that, or asking me about it.
I don't really mean it.
It's one of the things that traps people.
I can only speak about myself, but I think that people that are in, that are addicts
or that are in recovery, also you find out really fast is that you're not as terminally
unique as you think you are is that, um, and one of the things that, uh,
that is really important about addicts talking to each other and talking about it is that realization.
She, you probably care about laptop controversy. I don't really care about that.
Israel corruption in the Trump family, one 1104, Kamala Harris and the Democrat party.
Um, you know what's crazy? There is like real beef between the Kamala Harris camp and the Biden camp.
And neither actually has like that big of a constituency any longer in the, in at least
like the internal party apparatus. And I just, I think they're both awful. I think they're
both fucking dog shit. So like, I kind of get mad about Hunter Biden like getting this
level of of clout and like walking around and talking about how his dad is awesome and all this
shit it's like your dad's a fucking butcher dude obviously i'm not one to say sins of the father but
if you're gonna fucking go out and like defend your dad or even entertain this conversation on
Israel, like, you know, you're, you're kind of trying to redeem your father and then you are culpable.
Yeah, there's a, I saw this White House aide on how Biden treated hair is Joe Biden,
fucked her, says a third Biden White House aide. He fucked her. And according to her book,
he called her the morning of the debate to be like, I heard your donors are talking
shit about me and he was the fucking worst. He's a prick. As far as like,
Yes, no, Joe Biden, who is a sexual dynamo. Okay, we know this already. He wrote about his wife
wrote about it. Dr. Jill Biden wrote about how Joe Biden was, you know, was piping. Okay,
and still is piping for all we know. But not Kamala Harris. He did not. He fucked her over. Okay,
he fucked Kamala Harris over. However, like she had ample opportunity to turn around and
be like, this guy's an old racist piece of shit who's doing a genocide. Once again,
it shows that Kamala Harris was not ready for the fucking spotlight. I just do not forgive
Joe Biden, nor do I forgive Kamala Harris for both their culpability in advancing Israel's
genocide of the Palestinians and their unlimited support to Israel, and their support that
extended and their incompetence as well, so much so that they lost this country to motherfucking
Donald Trump. Every single thing that we experience on a daily basis that Trump is responsible for,
Therefore, they have some responsibility over as well.
This is my number one argument against all the fucking dick writers, the Kay Hivers and
the establishment Democrat defenders is that they think I'm responsible, right?
I didn't sufficiently promote Kamala Harris, okay?
That's the reason why Kamala Harris lost.
If only, you know, all the forces Taylor Swift, Beyonce, all those people are irrelevant in
comparison to little old me, right?
need to find anybody but Kamala Harris and Joe Biden to hold responsible for their incompetence,
their lack of interest in correcting the record, their lack of interest in stopping a fucking
genocide.
I hold them responsible for this Trump administration 100% and they are responsible for this Trump
administration.
It was their inability to put together a decent fucking case in the eyes of millions of Americans
that led to the second Trump administration.
And guess what?
Most Democrats understand that now.
I know some of them are dumb enough to still go, oh, maybe Kamala Harris should run because
name recognition is more important than anything else, I guess.
all these fucking stupid ass polls that show Kamala Harris is the top contender for who should run in
2028. Okay. However, however, many Democrats understand that it was the incompetence of the
Biden White House and Kamala Harris that allowed, and their investment into leaning in to this,
this, you know, moderate policy platform to win over somehow these goddamn cultists that
was an abject fucking failure. How does team Biden respond to their critics on Gaza? Says
Jonathan Geyer. A mistake that our administration made was not prioritizing enough reducing
civilian harm and ultimately trying to end the war, in particular the war in Gaza. John
finer who served as Biden's deputy national security advisor told the council on foreign
relations last week.
Adam Johnson says, Biden White House war criminals continue to auction off the nonsensical line
that they were bumbling bystanders who didn't do enough to reduce civilian harm, rather
an active party to the genocide, providing weapons, covering up evidence of war crimes
at the state, and refusing to condition support.
That's exactly what they did.
They weren't just innocent bystanders.
They were not just innocent bystanders.
They played an active role in aiding and abetting in this genocide.
They were also the butchers.
Not only were they holding the knife at times, but they were also supplying additional cutting
equipment.
The slaughtered Palestinians en masse.
There was any justice in this world to be in fucking prison, okay?
But alas, there is no justice in this world.
Let's be real.
We have to be the justice ourselves.
we have to commit to holding people accountable.
We have to keep applying pressure
so that one day may justice be served.
Because one of the things that traps you
in your addiction is shame.
And you know, you like me are Catholic
and we have learned that guilt is an appropriate emotion.
And guilt is an appropriate response to something
when you've done something wrong.
No, man, you're supposed to fuck is this how many times why I gotta say?
Oh my god, there is no such thing as vigilante justice brother or sister or damper. It doesn't work that way. Okay?
First of all revenge is not justice. That's number one number two
What I'm talking about is accountability
systematic accountability a
mechanism of enforcement that has to come from
from organizations, there's no adventurism here. It doesn't work that way. It never
works that way. It's never worked that way. Marxist theorists have talked about this tirelessly
andlessly. It doesn't work.
Come for it. And you're supposed to seek forgiveness, whether the forgiveness comes
from an individual or not. That's the lesson. It is that it is in only seeking that forgiveness.
Can you release yourself from that kill? That's appropriate. Shame is not. Shame is just absolutely
gross. Shame is you telling yourself that you're not worthy, that you're never going to be worthy,
that the things that you've done, you could never be redeemed from. And I've done horrible things
in my addiction in terms of what I did in terms of my relationships and decisions that I made.
And more than anything, it's just removing myself from being present for the people that love me.
And what happened to me, and I really mean this, is that the exposure, not piecemeal,
but the total exposure, my entire digital footprint, it's fallen from me,
the 20-year digital footprint.
He fucked his dead brother's widow.
Okay, but that was Christian-like.
That was the most Christian-like Hunter Biden has ever been.
That's literally in the Bible.
That's in the Bible.
Anyway, I used to like Hunter Biden more, I think,
when everyone was shitting on him.
Nowadays, I don't like him as much.
I don't necessarily care one way or another.
He's just the fucking another like nepotism recipient.
And let's be real,
can't be cast in too many stones from a glass house
on that issue.
Okay. But, I mean, he was a likable fail son and Republicans turned him into this like demonic
entity for no reason. You know, I don't really, I don't really give a shit about his own
personal failings, but I think a real failure, a real failure in my opinion, a real moral
failure is to not hold your father to account in any way, shape or form.
That is unacceptable, entirely unacceptable, in my opinion.
Alright, let's talk about something much more fun and interesting.
The man who explains Israel to John Federman, how a little-known writer became one of the
senator's closest confidants.
Ladies and gentlemen, before I start this story, I want to say ahead of time that there
There is virtually no way to cover this story, in a manner not dissimilar to the Karsvark
kid's story, without coming across like a virulent antisemite.
It is not my intention to come across antisemitic style.
I'm simply relaying the information that is given to us through the tireless journalism
of alex schultz
over at
new york magazine a writer for hard reset
who writes
a newsletter about tech labor and power
now right off the job
you kind of get a good feel for where i'm going with this
because this is the covers
this is the cover photo
that we'd
dovey
south fier
shared this selfie with john fetterman's social media expressing his
gratitude for the senator. Now, it's not illegal to have a Jewish friend, okay? There's nothing wrong
with that, is what you might think if you were to just assume that this is a random Jewish guy.
Turns out, not so random. Over the last three years, Democratic Party support for Israel has
undergone a dramatic reversal. Yeah, I'd be in prison if it was illegal to do that.
But in 2024, 18 Democratic senators backed a measure to block arms sales to the country.
In April of this year, it was 40.
Polls show about two-thirds Democratic voters sympathize with Palestinians more than Israelis
and even former White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, who grew up spending his summers
in the country and whose middle name is Israel, I did not know that, has recently begun calling
for an end to carte blanche US military aid.
roman manuals dad was literally in it again by the way okay
more and more democrats and it is in his told notice last month are seeing the
light
and then
their senator john fetterman
while the rest of his party reluctantly retreats from an ironclad
ally should the pennsylvania senator's promise to be the last democrats standing
with israel
his political identity is increasingly defined by a blanket defense of the
country online federal men
frequently mocked critics of israel in interviews he is pushed back on claims
that is was actually does a constitute a genocide
and propel sign
protests came to his home federal and waived in israeli flag from his roof
ask i'll meet the president israel's pages taxon lebanon which would have more
than three thousand people killed twelve senators said
all i don't want to
uh...
on may nineteen federal was the only democratic senator vote against the
war powers resolution intended to stymie the u.s. israel war against iran president
trump has been well into dough
well yeah yeah the peace i love israel he said when the war began god bless the united states
better than added as if these elements constitute some kind of geopolitical holy trinity
Okay
By the Democratic Party standards Federmann's position on Israel's extreme there are a multitude of theories as to why the senator is a contrarian
He enjoys the attention. I don't think he understands that he is getting any attention
He's convinced himself that he's indisputably in the right
But people close to Federmann cite a previously unreported factor to
behind the scenes
Federmann is being encouraged and counseled by a little known man in his late 30s named
David Dovey Safier. Safier, a writer of Jewish history and a fundraiser for
Orthodox causes, has no public background in government or counseling
politicians on Capitol Hill. He is not an official staffer or paid outside
advisor. What is this TLDR? Oh my god, Diet-Magged Democrat John Federm was just
exposed by New York Mag for having a literal Israeli handler who is from the illegally occupied
territories secretly meeting with pro-Israel, pro-Trump, megadoner Miriam Adelson in Israel,
privately saying Epstein was a nothing burger, privately mocking the idea of universal health
there very recently floating the idea of being VP on the damn ticket in 2028. Oh my God.
This man is both completely compromised and deeply brain damaged. He needs to resign.
Oh, that's God. What are you going to say? A few years ago, he just kind of appeared
in the senator's orbit. Hmm. One former Federman staffer remembers. And then suddenly he seemed
to be everywhere. Staffers were walking to Federman's office only to find Saphir sitting
in the room. When the senator went to Israel in 2025, Saphir joined him on the trip. When
Federman filmed real time with Bill Morris, Saphir met up with him in Los Angeles. The
two are constantly texting and talking according to multiple Federman staffers. And Saphir
has unofficially operated as a top campaign fundraiser and senior advisor
he's even set up an attended sensitive meetings with foreign officials
in some cases is the only person staffing those meetings
i've been told
all how wonderful
how wonderful
have you considered that they're just banging
no i haven't considered that is that also part of the massage payroll
that he has to suck john federmans ugly as dick
do you think that's what's going on
how do i get a friend like this uh... i don't know
become bring that due to a fucking stroke
and then also a senator at the same time
and i'm sure israel will immediately send a handler your way
i'm sorry
this is an insane fucking situation it's very hard for me to act as though
this is just a total meet cute that took place
and this random fucking guy
from
the west bank mind you occupied palestinian territories where he is
settled
found his way
into
john fetterman's closest confidant
well if he was chinese federal would be literally in guantanamo bay right now
as we speak all one hundred percent
but again
how dare you say such things israel is the most important nation on the planet
there is no more important nation than the nation state of israel
after all it's a lot of very wealthy people's favorite emotional support
apartheid state
why can't they have a little bit of apartheid
after all no one fucking sees palestinians as human beings nor is the
arabians as human beings broadly
so they think it's all right
they're just killing non-humans over there
okay
this is insane this is literally like
i mean this is the the exact same scenario that you see
with like you know game of thrones or lord of the rings where you have like a
court eunuch who's just fucking by your side being like yes
yes feterman you're doing the right thing
talk about how much you love israel say em israel hi
Hey, Fetterman, ooooh, everyone will love you!
What the fuck?
What the fuck is that?
What is happening here?
It's a fucking Rasputin shit!
Except Rasputin was, you know, had a big hog and was also impossible to kill.
What is going on in this government, man?
the fuck is this? I mean actually what is this? Okay and I know this motherfucker knows
who I am because John Federman doesn't know who the fuck I am but he talks about me all
the time so I guess it's coming from this dipshit. What are you implying about Federman?
What do you mean?
What am I implying about Fetterman?
I'm saying he is the most compromised person on the planet.
He is medically stupid.
He doesn't, he should not legally be behind the wheel of a car, okay?
He is not capable of making decisions.
And now we know who's making the decisions for him.
What do you want?
It's right here.
In September 2025, Thetterman and some of his senior staffers gathered at the center's
office for a meeting with Yahio Leiter, the Israeli ambassador to the United States.
According to one of the staffers in attendance, Saphir was inexplicably in the room too, not
I'm not implying. Yeah, I'm not implying. I'm saying, I'm reading. I'm reading and
I'm understanding. There is no implication here beyond literally what is taking place.
You could have implied that John Fetterman was an Israeli asset before this article.
Now we know who the Israeli asset is. According to one of the staffers of the tenetist, Safir
was inexplicably in the room too. It was far from a holy event. During the meeting, Federman
tested out a proposal to force every senator to vote on whether they think Israel's committing
a genocide in Gaza.
Lighter and severe did not consider this a good idea. Federman eventually backed up.
Oh my God. He's so stupid. Oh my God. He's so fucking stupid. What are you implying about
Israel? Okay, stop. Oh my God. John Federman is so dumb, bro. He literally thought he literally
thought this would be beneficial to get everybody on the record, not realizing that every other
senator would, you know, many of these senators would refuse to vote on something like this.
This would be devastating because they all know it's going to be a permanent mark on their,
permanent stain on their reputation.
Yeah, this guy's a numbers guy. Everyone will obviously say the same thing. I've been thinking
Israel is the best throughout the two politicians gossip freely. According to the same staff
or later told betterment that he had prodded Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, despite
his fervent support for the state to be even more helpful to Israel, asking the Jewish
politician. If he put, if he puts blood in his matzo, Fetterman chuckled the person that
tend to said, not picking up on the gravity of the insult. The Israeli embassy denies
the comment and by Senator Lider said, the Senator Schumer, as he said, the other senators
and congressmen that the accusation of starvation in Gaza is no different than medieval blood
libels. The embassy said in a comment. Yeah.
In conversations with 11 current and former staffers of staff, uh, Fetterman, all of whom
requested varying levels of anonymity to speak freely about sensitive matters, a strange
picture emerges. The senator has isolated himself from many of his senate colleagues
and members of his own party, and possibly his wife.
There are few who Fetterman seems to trust beyond his dad and brother, who are conservative.
Bobby Maggio, his 2022 campaign manager, and now Saphir, who is arguably the senator's
closest confidant. Fetterman's dwindling inner circle has, by default, given Saphir an unusually
large influence. When he's on Capitol Hill, Severe will, Severe will, uh, where was I?
What the fuck? Now I'm getting, uh, I'm getting the John Federman. When he's on Capitol Hill,
Severe will hang out and sit in Federman's office all day or walk him, walk him or walk
with him to the floor, a former staffer says. After the conversations,
Federer would appear far more radicalized. The former staffer remembers. The chatter around
the office is usually, oh God, Saphir is here and now John's not going to go to any of his meetings.
You know what's really funny about this?
This is the case for most politicians and that's the saddest state of affairs because
most of these politicians are also just as mentally inept as john fetterman is
because they're like eight hundred and fifty four years old
so they too
are also being minded
being handled
by their fucking staffers
all the goddamn time
so john fetterman being not an octogenarian but instead i don't know
like being fifty plus years old
now also has the same kind of a brain as you know half of these fucking congress
persons who are also being controlled by their fucking staffers.
Multiple staffers were called hearing about calls between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Enneow and Federman that Saphir listened in on.
As Saphir's influence has grown, the senators calls with Enneow have increased.
On the calls, it is either Federman alone talking with a foreign leader, or just the
senator Saphir and Netanyahu.
Netanyahu's foreign press spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.
would always stick around when Federmen chatted with important dignitaries from other countries.
Another former staffer says, Recently, Safir was in attendance for a meeting with the United
Arab Emirates Ambassador of the United States, according to multiple people with direct knowledge.
Who the fuck is this guy? Who is this fucking guy? How did he get there? Why is he at every
fucking meeting and why is nobody like hey John who the fuck is this guy with you I know
we don't prosecute fair violations anymore but it sure seems like a foreign agent has
made himself John Federman's most senior unpaid advisor people working for Federman have begun
to joke that he is the senator from Tel Aviv. Wow how anti-Semitic. I mean I don't even think
this is fair. I think this is like straight up. This is a fucking espionage operation.
You know, this isn't even like a, like a foreign lobbyist influencing the Senator directly.
This is just like a guy who is an agent of the state of Israel, who happens to listen
in on every conversation that's happening in private.
I remember bro, bro saw Eric's wall would get honeypotted and said I got to get me one of those
It's so crazy man, it's so fucking crazy isn't it great that PA has two Israeli agents controlling it
What oh you mean?
The governor Shapiro
It's just yeah, they tricked us into thinking it was the Russians not it was the Israelis
It was always it was always Israel even with like half of the fucking rushing it stuff when you scratch the surface you find Israel underneath
like
It is not offered a position to have a kitchen cabinet of informal advisors, longtime friends,
academics, and former colleagues, where they typically offer much more structured occasional
advice. A chief of staff for a current Democratic congressperson told me,
informed of severe close relationship with Federman, the chief of staff was stunned.
It's definitely concerning, they said. When asked if they'd ever heard of a similar arrangement,
an unpaid advisor sitting in on meetings diplomats hanging out with the politician during working
hours. The Chief of Staff said, truly no.
Federman's office did not respond to multiple requests for comments or a detailed list of
questions about Safir's role. The little known advisor's growing influence to Federman's office
comes at a time when the senator deeply unpopular among Democrats in his home state is being wooed
by the Republicans to switch parties. He has claimed that as the Democrats who have betrayed
their values while insisting that he would be a poor fit for the Republican party.
Federmann is in his political no-mainland, a disastrous development for a first-term
senator. His staffers are infuriated with their boss's untenable position in the
Senate and his buddy-buddy dynamic with Saphir.
A few people working for Federmann have even begun the joke that he's the
senator from Tel Aviv and call Saphir chief because he has more power than the
actual chief of staff. Also, Cabell Saint, John Fetterman's chief of staff announced
this week at a meeting she is leaving her position. This is like the 15th turnover that's taken
place in John Fetterman's staffing, by the way. He can't keep any staff around, which
usually is a sign that things are not going well. Kamala Harris had similar problems too
for the record, for those of you in the know, this was a big ordeal for Kamala Harris too.
Do with that information, which you fucking will. Anyway,
Saphir did not respond to repeated requests or comments from New York. I like the New York
magazine calls itself New York. That's cool. Just New York. Anyway, in his few public interviews,
mostly podcasts focused on Jewish life, Saphir has said he grew up on Long Island in an orthodox
community. As a young man, he relocated to a settlement in East Jerusalem, which is illegally
occupied by Israel. Wow, Alex Schultz. Please stop. How dare you, Alex Schultz? How dare you?
I mean, to even mention this, fucked up.
According to the International Court of Justice, and studied the Talmud in Mir Yashiva, the largest Yashiva in the world.
This background explains Saphir's current public persona, an American Jewish writer who has come back from and often returns to the Holy Land.
His work mostly appears in an Orthodox magazine called Mishpasha, which currently has a defunct website.
While Saphir's broader employment is unclear, he describes himself publicly only as a business professional.
Yeah, it's called being paid by the Israeli state
Here is a picture of Safir's grandfather and some guy no note wait what the fuck
with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Control of Biden? Wait, what? A senior Israeli
finance minister, Vishal, once noted that when the economic issue of the state of Israel's
written, Wolfson will be one of the three crucial figures in the first half century.
After only David Ben-Gurion and Pinchas Sapir, longtime finance minister with whom Wolfson
worked closely, working with leading figures in Congress, most prominently Senator Daniel
Inuyue of Hawaii and Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware.
What the fuck?
Yo!
He succeeded in having him inserted into, in having inserted into foreign aid appropriation
bills on several occasions provisions altering the repayment terms on US government loans
to Israel or having loans changed to grants.
The resulting savings to Israel totaled billions of dollars.
The vast majority of these lobbying efforts were at Wolfson's individual initiative based
on his keen understanding of where the levers of power in Congress lay.
Oh, oh, just like his grandson.
It's just totally directed by him and for his own personal ambitions.
Okay.
Yeah, no, that's normal.
He's just a random American Israeli guy who, you know, with, with dual citizenship and
as an American citizen, he's just talking to American senators and getting them to forgive
billions of dollars of loans that America has loaned to Israel at no cost, huh?
stuff.
Bro read the next paragraph.
Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott attributed much of his influence in Congress
of the fact that he never sought anything for himself.
And although Wolfson's DC lobbying efforts took place under the radar, their impact was
well known to senior officials in Jerusalem.
For approximately two decades, a special section of the annual defense allocations of the Israeli
budget was known as the Saif Wolfson.
The monies in that section were directed to projects determined by Wolfson.
He persuaded the French President Jacques Chirac, for instance, to supply land for
for Otsar-Hatorah schools, which primarily served immigrants from North Africa, and then
paid for the building with monies from the Israeli government.
Similarly, he obtained millions of dollars from the Israeli government for Jewish education
in the FSU.
Oh boy!
Look at that!
Just a guy, not related to the Israeli government at all.
Don't say that.
Yeah. So having friend, being friends is illegal now, it seems. Well, good thing his grandson
is not up to the same shit nowadays, right? Right? Read the last paragraph. What is this?
Besides lifelong friends like Senator Inouye, Lott, Dole, Biden, Wilson worked closely with
many important U.S. senators and congressmen, including Otto Passman, a Louisiana congressman
from forty seven and uh... seventy seven to share the house appreciate
wow
you mean to tell me
he was close friends with the guy who chaired the house appropriations sub
committee on foreign aid
well
this guy gets around
he happens to find so many pivotal people in congress
who happen to have their hands on the money purse,
those who literally hold the strings of the purse.
How peculiar, how strange.
Wow.
Anyway, good thing his grandson
is not doing something like that.
Let's continue.
His employers and occupations on political donations forms have been ambiguous and a consultant self-employed
David has never been forthcoming about what he really does a person close to Federman says it's always been very like
Oh, yeah, I'm in wealth management
It's just strange
It's strange when you have guys
with
no
Turnable motive of steady income that find themselves in such powerful rooms
It's just strange
Certainly it has nothing to do with Israeli intelligence
Bro's not even a good spy
Do you even have to be a good spy?
I mean, literally Lindsey Graham straight up said right after America urged by Lindsey
Graham and many others, including big Yahoo himself, uh, struck Iran, Lindsey Graham said,
I went to Israel like a million times and they told me Israeli agencies, Israeli agents
told me directly the best methods of convincing President Donald Trump.
But that's in the newspapers, it's not like that's hidden.
A decade ago, if I were to say something like that, okay, if I were to be like, you know,
it's kind of strange that American politicians are traveling to Israel on numerous occasions
and then coming back and having meetings with the American president and then urging the
American president directly to take action that's beneficial to Israel and probably not
so beneficial to America. How strange is that? I'd be imprisoned, okay? They'd be like, I'd
be put in anti-Semitism jail. Now that's in the paper or record. They're flexing on us.
The founder of the firm is Saphir's grandfather, Zeph Wilson, a real estate magnate who died
at the age of 84. The Israeli embassy in the United States posthumously recognized Wilson
is one of the greatest American contributors to the U.S.-Israeli relationship. According
to Jerusalem Post-Abituary in the 60s, Wolfson successfully convinced members of Congress
to send phantom jets to Israel.
Thank you. In the 1980s, he was personally responsible for saving Israel hundreds of
millions of dollars in interest payments on U.S. government loans. In 1990, he helped
the Israeli military secure Patriot missiles.
Wilson was especially close with the former Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye, and it's really
private as their Yinshawk were being, but he didn't really relish the personal tension
in order to put his name on the buildings in the style of Donald Trump.
Oh, I wonder why.
The New York Times said in the late 1980s article, when Wilson died in 2012, he left behind hundreds
of millions of assets according to court records in the Wilson group, which is still run by
Saphir's uncles.
Saphir's work with Federman follows, seems to follow in his grandfather's footsteps.
In 2023, Bob Pincus, an APAC natural board member, helped Federmann staff set up a fundraiser
in midtown Manhattan with a member of our broader community, Accorded Tech's Iobtain.
Safir was a co-host of the event and appears to be met Federmann there for the first time.
A meet cute.
Okay, guys, this is definitely not a clear cut example of an Israeli agent who's, I guess,
grandfathered into literally doing espionage at the behest of the Israeli state, just following
along with this primary mission of taking advantage of this brain-dead vegetable man,
ogre-shaped.
Okay, he's in the family business.
It's not wealth management.
I'll tell you that much.
Please note, not one Democrat has used that Lindsey Graham statement in any electoral
messaging.
I know.
Yeah.
Because they also are like, where's my guy?
Okay.
How do you, why do you get a little advisor?
Where's mine?
I want one to give me foot massages, if necessary.
He's a caretaker.
I know.
I know.
He's taking care of business.
business, but it's fine. Yeah, he is doing wealth management. He is. He's managing the
American tax dollars, okay, which is a lot of wealth, if you're being honest. So technically,
He is actually in the business of wealth management.
So I wonder, like, what's the defense for this?
Is it, oh, you're just implying that an American Jew has, like, any, any loyalty to anything
but America?
Is that what, like, the argument is?
Well, I want to know what like, you know, what's the what's the Zion is Hosbara narrative here
Because this is pretty fucking black and white this is as open and shut as it gets right
What is this I wonder who created Wolfson equities
J mail wait a minute
Dear Andrew, Obelor ACUs compete for high-risk clients this month.
As you know, the policy now requires an MD approval.
The entity is private.
Wait, what is this?
Just say it, wait, I use too confusing.
Is it Epstein?
Wolves in equities is the investment arm of the Wolveson Group, a family-based investment
in real estate company.
The client currently does not have any assets with DB.
Guys this is Jmail, Jeffrey Epstein's, this is an easy way to search Jeffrey Epstein's
old emails, the uncovered Epstein files.
I don't know if that means anything though.
Oh yeah, they will not be writing stories like this anymore now that James Murdoch bought Vox,
New York Magazine portfolio for $300 million, charging into his father's industry.
That's, there's also that, I forgot.
James is the woke one, okay.
Right.
Democratic strategist Doug Shuehens says Dems need to be more like John Federman by supporting
Israel and the Iran war.
About John Federman, Lawrence, 80% down the line with the Democrats, but not Trump derangement
syndrome where the president is right in launching a war to fight terror, eliminate Iran's nuclear
weapons. He was of course supportive. We need Democrats like that, not the far left, not
those who hate Israel. We have to say to Platner and to every candidate who is anti-Semitic,
who has anti-mainstream values, who embraces the far left, we're done. We're finished.
The answer is no. You can't bob and weave hide. You have to just say no to people like
Plattener who are up for it. And for all the criticism of Donald Trump, he did that in
the Republican Party. He said, to all that crowd, we don't need your support. You're
not mainstream values and what your little reading group where the fuck is like being
if there's one mainstream value in this country, it's definitely on the on the issue of Israel
It's definitely not what this guy thinks. Okay.
Perhaps the opposite.
Oh, just why won't people abide by the mainstream values of
of offering unconditional aid and loyalty to Israel? What the
fuck?
Yeah, there is a mainstream value on Israel. It's called
fuck Israel. That's what the mainstream value is nowadays.
Overwhelming majority position
Ridiculous Donald Trump's approval ratings have been under fucking water. That's number one number two
Israel's approval ratings are also underwater
Anyway, the PM wanted to set up a call with the senator to thank him for his support
I presume Federer and Nenyao spoke to each other a day later.
Safir also began to show up at events in May 2024.
He was in the crowd as Federer gave a commencement speech at Yeshiva University.
What kind of fucking speech could he be giving?
In any way, shape, or form, he is incapable of delivering speeches, incapable of speaking.
Some staff remember the summer of 2024 as a turning point that June Federer made a two-day
excursion to Israel during his trip.
He managed to squeeze in meetings with Nenyao and other Israeli officials.
He seemed refreshed by the experience. It was the trip of my life. Senator later told the journalists Mish Pasha
Then he was coordinated by severe according to text I received after Federer return
So people close to the center noticed severe popping up at the office with increasing frequency
One says it became common to see severe waiting outside of John's office to speak
He became part of our conversations the former staffer says it got to the point where there was weight in what he said and what he wanted
the extent of the access surprise staff so did severe's mode of transport he
occasionally flew down from new york on a private jet owned by ruin
moscovitz staff were told moscovitz a wealthy lawyer technology entrepreneur
sometimes hung out at the office to both severe moscovitz were donors and
supporters of former new york city mayor eric adams the city reported that
moscovitz use an ethically dubious loophole to bundle large sums of money
for the mayor's campaign. Moskowitz did not respond to a request for comment. That means
he was illegally, possibly, allegedly engaging in straw donations, okay, bundling. But I
guess when you're doing it for pro-Israel purposes, it doesn't fucking matter. No Farah
and also no campaign contribution violations for you, sir. By the way, that is literally
what Dinesh, this is who went to prison for, for those of you who don't know, what 45
sex of betterment commencement speech
Is he about to cry?
He's like, whoa, I can't believe he did that.
They're giving him a standing ovation for taking off, dramatically whipping off his
Harvard hood at Yeshiva University commencement, because Harvard has been so bad.
your neighbors do it? He's undressing himself, shield your eyes.
Anyway, multiple former staffers told me they did not personally dislike Saphir in their
interactions with his often chatty and jovial. They describe him as friendly, if awkward,
and funny with a childlike energy, but they were still perturbed that he had
come out of nowhere politically and flattered his way into Federman's inner
circle and his praise of their boss could be strange. In his new role, Safir has
taken to often publicly lauding the senator on X. Nobody on either side of
the aisle says it quite like Federman. It's true. That's, I mean, that's literally
true. That's fundamentally correct because John Federman is an ogre who
can't speak. So, yeah, nobody really says it like John Federman, aka the Secretary of
Trolling's, if you're posted recently, last year, tuned in an odd AI-generated video of
Federman and earlier this year, Brace, Brace Peldin, and earlier this year posted a slowed
now, a federal and walking with staff overlaid with Sia's unstoppable in March,
twenty-five, federal and returned to Israel.
This time it was the invitation of a non-provincial relief resources.
The New York City based Jewish mental health nonprofit said it wanted to invite
federal because of his leadership in mental health awareness and legislative
advocacy. One of relief resource board members, the man named Daniel Wolfson,
Which is the name of Zeff Wolfson's son and Saphir's uncle
Saphir was heavily involved in setting up the trip according to multiple people with direct knowledge
Relief resources and Danny Wolfson did not respond to requests for comment
This fucking fit
God he's so disgusting. He's such a nasty little pervert dude. Oh god. He looks like shit all the time, dude
It's awesome
So if you travel with Federman for most of his four days in Israel, he tweets about you?
Of course he does.
We spoke with the Sampai girl of the fallout from Charlie Kirk's killing.
He got candid about sparring with the late conservative activists and his own fears about political violence.
On 9-11 nonetheless.
I think this is a guest spot, Safir, appeared on two years ago.
Due to some technical difficulties.
The light from the lamp, the light of the lamp, I don't even remember.
But interestingly, until the night before, it was called Building for Eternity,
because I wanted really to focus more on building the Yashiva in the title,
And then...
Anyway...
I think this is...
I think they hand selected him for the similar qualities that he has to John Federmann.
Everyone gets a nick, Charlie.
He's referring to you here. Let's not get a retweet from one of the most active anti-Semites on this platform.
Wait, last night I got a retweet from one of the most active anti-Semites on this platform.
What followed were attacks by a deluge of bots, clearly unleashed by some entity dedicated
to Israel's destruction.
Perhaps this is something that my fellow Federman fan should take a look at, because
it's clearly a major issue.
Wait, what did I say to him?
Which one, Lol?
Wait, what was the fucking retweet?
What did I retweet? Can someone find it? What did I say? Did I just retweet this?
Is that what it is or did I quote retweet it? Because clearly I didn't just
retweet it. Is he just making shit up? No. Ugly-ass painting for an ugly-ass ogre.
Oh my god, I was connected to Saphir myself!
Now we know why John Federman talks about me all the fucking time.
Huh, Lenny from Micemen, Lenny from Micemen crushing Israel while trying to pet it as
painting. Damn, that was a banger.
He's jealous. The Saphir likes you more.
It's scary because that means that he almost likely knows a lot about you.
He does.
We're not gonna get into that and I don't like to think about things like that in
general but yes I think I've talked about it on stream before
anyway the senator seemed the religion the adulation intention you received he
again, met with Nenyao presented with a silver plated deeper in celebration of Israel's attack
on Lebanon. That meeting was disclosed by the senator's office, a separate meeting in Tel Aviv
with right wing billionaire Mary Madison confirmed to me by four people close to
Federmann was not disclosed. Alison spokesperson did not respond to her request for comment.
When Federmann returned, he ran into trouble. In May, 2025, New York published an article
about his deteriorating health and volatility in public statements about the story. Federmann
responded with anger and defiance, as did Saphir, who said, Federman's doing fine. It's the party
that needs a checkup. As an old head, I don't think you've talked about that, to be honest.
No, I have, but briefly. When Federman returned, he ran in trouble in May, 2035,
near publishing an article about deteriorating health. Federman's withdrawal from his fellow
Democrats only increased Saphir's sway. So basically, the short and sweet of the story is,
because John Federman has a handler directly from Jerusalem, directly from Israel.
And he is, I think, a little bit of a fail-sun,
but I guess that works in his favor in this instance,
in this particular influence-peddling operation and possible espionage operation,
because John Fetterman is also not all there. And yeah, wonderful contributions to American
politics, hilarious. This is not a real country. Okay, it's just not. It's totally ridiculous.
On that note, ladies and gentlemen, I will leave you, I will bid you adieu. And I will be back
tomorrow live from New York New York Trump is on his way to the White House
right now and who knows what the fuck will take place but probably nothing
good hopefully tomorrow when I'm live we won't be talking about a potential war
that has restarted whether it be in Cuba or in Iran also like I said Ashley
St. Clair is going to be on the broadcast talk about in conservative influencer T
Another Elon Musk former baby mama
Ash St. Clair will be on the broadcast
So yeah
