The most important aspect of any free and fair and democratic country is a free press. That is the most important thing. You have in our country, Donald Trump, fake news, we have journalists that have the MAGA rube's trying to attack them. It's a complete shit show. It gets even worse when you get to Israel. Not only are we told now in Western media, we can't criticize the government in the country of Israel, which that is insane, completely anti-democratic and quit trying to be the thought police

because we absolutely get to criticize Israel. As an American, I want my country criticized. I want my leaders criticized. I want journalists exposing every wrong and bringing it out into the light for critical inquiry and or criminal charges. And so Israel, you need to note, they've killed a couple hundred journalists with impunity. And here we have Israel appearing to target a British journalist in Lebanon. Pop this up, Kylie. An Israeli missile drops on RT journalists Steve Sweeney in Lebanon clearly marked with a press vest. Both he and his cameraman are reportedly in the hospital. The committee to project journalist says Israel killed 129 journalists in 2025. alone. Play the clip.

It's Naharia and a minute. Okay. And why do they keep targeting journalists? Why does this happen all the time? Why will Benjamin Netanyahu and his far right fascist, terrorist government, allow journalists to go into Gaza because they don't want truth tellers. They want to continue to commit war crimes with impunity. So what was this journalist reporting on just the day before? play the clip. Well we're just driving back through Nabatir district where we've been filming over the past two hours. The area is coming under pretty heavy and sustained attack by Israeli fighter jets and artillery fire. Now we believe that they've started bombing the bridges. These are the bridges that connect to the south of

Lebanon that exclusion zone with the IDF having issued those evacuation orders. Now they say that they're targeting those bridges to stop Hezbollah from resupplying its forces, resistance forces on the ground there. But in reality, with some one million people displaced from the south, that exclusion zone, the evacuation order issued for all areas south of the Zorani River, we're talking about one million people. What this is really about is cutting people off from their land, cutting people off from their homes, places that they've lived for generation after.

So he's reporting that Israel is lying. They're saying they're targeting Hezbollah. And they aren't. They are targeting civilian infrastructure. And then I just saw a video right before I logged in here to record this with you all. These are apartment buildings. These are people's homes. And it was a video of people going digging through the rubble trying to find their fucking pets, their cats, their dogs. And it always seems to be a feature and not a bug that Israel is able to commit war crimes. And then this journalist is exposing it. And he gets targeted. Yeah, some coincidence 24 hours later he's you know being bombed while he's reporting.

And as you look at the attack on journalism in the United States, you have brave journalists that are willing to tell the truth and overseas they're risking their lives to do it. So as much as I am completely frustrated with mainstream media and the way they're shaping everything for an agenda, I just want to say I have so much respect for these. men and women that go into these war-torn countries and report when they are truly risking their lives. All right. And the next step, the Associated Press is reporting the following. Pop this up. An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in central Beirut on Wednesday. The Israeli army had warned residents to evacuate about an hour before completely flattening it as day broke.

John Simpson News chimes in and says, I don't get it. If Hezbollah had flats in this block, which is unlikely in central Beirut, but not impossible, why did the Israelis give everyone inside an hour to get out, including those they wanted to kill? And if there weren't any Hezbollah people there, why destroy a building with dozens of civilians in it? Because this is what they do. They take out civilian infrastructure.

They take out everything. Beirut is a city 5,000 years old. One million people are displaced. This isn't even getting a blip on the radar screen. And the through line here is it's always Israel that is doing this. And we get to criticize a country. We still have the First Amendment. We will not obey in advance.

and we get to criticize Israel. They are a war-mongering country that is constantly committing war crimes, killing journalists, killing children, attacking infrastructure. Country after country, news cycle after new cycle, you kind of have to go abroad to get it. But it's just really, really beyond the pale.

And when we're funding a country that does this, that operates this way, what is the break-up? to us. Furthermore, tens upon tens of millions of Americans have no idea how their taxpayers subsidize war crimes. How on earth does this help people that live in suburban, in rural America, or in cities that are trying so hard to get their life grinding, to get health care, potentially maybe have a week of vacation if they're lucky, but we're constantly told over and over and over again by Democratic and Republican politicians, we can't afford

this. But when it comes to funding Israel, how much? How much can we send? Oh, we can't criticize Israel. Yes, America deserves to be criticized. Israel deserves to be criticized. Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Putin, Russia, France, go after Emmanuel Macron. This is life. This is the way it goes. There is not one person that is above criticism or inquiry. And it's just insulting that we're constantly told that we cannot criticize a country and their far-right fascist government. And then here's just a prime example pumps, you're going to die. So this is the way the Western media and listener, once you start really opening up your eyes to this, it just is time and time and time again. Here is Reuters sanitizing Israel's war crimes in Lebanon. Pop this up. The headline is Lebanon

leaves a classroom of hurt children or dead every day, UN says. And Harry Eklis says, Hi, Reuters, you seem to have accidentally forgotten to mention that it is Israel killing these children. You're sincerely every single person with a conscience. And leave that up for just a second, Kylie. Lebanon war leaves classroom of children hurt or dead. It doesn't leave them. It just leaves them hurt or dead. All of these kids are dying all of the time because this is a feature of the IDF, not a bug, not a fluke thing. And then watch this one. They'll get pumps take on this. Here is just another way that the Western media sanitizes these headlines for our,

you know, so that we can go on and enjoy our Instagram feed and our luxury lives. Pop this up. New York Times. These headlines are a week apart. Here's how they always accurately go after Russia. How Russia's scorched earth attacks put Ukraine's power grid. near collapse. And she points out they use strong language, scorched earth, and they named the attacker

with an active voice. Okay. So when it comes to Russia, the media can do this. They have no problem doing it. And this is how propaganda works. And then a week later, the same publication, the New York Times, says Iran's South Pars Gasfield is attacked, sending energy prices, sorts. She goes in and puts no attacker, used a passive voice, it's just attacked, and then ignores

the harm to Iran. Isn't that fascinating, pumps? I really am, and I'm looking at it. I'm processing that, and I'm thinking, this is not a mistake. This is not, this is an editorial decision that we are going to soft sell everything for Israel. It just is. I mean, you just can't look at it, especially one. time in isolation, okay, maybe I'd buy that. We're talking it's over and over and over again.

All right. When it comes to fashion, these days I'm all about quality over quantity, especially in my closet, you guys, if it's not well made, if it's not versatile, if it's not timeless, it's just not worth it. And this is honestly why I love quince so much. The fabrics are elevated. The cuts are incredibly thoughtful and the pricing actually makes a ton of sense. I personally love their 100% silk camisoles. I wear them all the time. You can wear them with jeans and a pair of hills or you can throw them under a blazer. These are classic pieces that I use time and time and time again. Stop waiting to build the wardrobe you actually want. You don't need a closet full of options. You need pieces that work.

It's always this language like there was a shooting. These Israeli settlers in the West Bank shot four, a family of four, a mom, a dad, a five-year-old and a seven-year-old. And it's like altercation in West Bank leaves four dead. And really the headline should be, Israeli settlers murdered family of four. or at point blank range. And they are able to do this and continue to do this because the Western media covers it the way that I'm showing you guys right now.

And this is how propaganda works. We've seen this with Trump. We've seen the way they sanewash his dementia, the way they sanewash his lies, the way they sanewash his corruption. We've seen it for 11 years now. These same people, it's a layup for them to do that with Trump because they do it with kids getting killed.

And this is why the media, the press is so important. And when you have a country, Israel that is committing war crimes, killing a journalist is a war crime. Over 120 journalists they have killed. I started the video. It looks very much to me like that journalist was getting targeted. You cannot tell me that Israel, who we send all these billions of dollars to, who brags and goes on and on about we have the accuracy of these missiles, the best missile defense. system in the world that nobody checked on the drone coverage that a journalist was standing right there. I'm not buying it. And they have no credibility, none. And I'm going to leave you all

with this. You get to criticize a country. And when there are groups of people, whether it be a country, a religious group, some sort of squirrely, you know, cult or something, and they say you can't criticize us, it's a cult. It's a cult. Everybody that believes in open-mindedness, free things, thinking should welcome inquiry, should welcome criticism. All right, that's all we have. Our hearts and thoughts and minds are with the people of Lebanon that are displaced, that have been killed, that are grieving, the passing of their children, that lost their homes, and out looking for their pets. This is insanity.

All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment.
