The most incompetent United States president we've ever had is sitting around looking at war plans and the mainstream media narrative assumes that he's capable of doing this. They don't mention that this man's default setting is criminality, that his gut reaction to everything is not how does this benefit my country, it's how does it benefit me personally. And so Pumps is going to share some of the headlines with us. Pumps? Okay so now we have Trump considering going to war and supporting Israel. Here we go. BBC News says Trump considers joining Israel on Iran strikes as IDF targets nuclear sites. I agree with you

completely Jennifer. This man is not competent to tie his own shoes. Anytime he speaks, he sounds slurring, he makes no sense, and this is the person that has the capability of making the decision. It is absolutely stunning how ridiculous he is. And now we have Iran coming back to Trump and saying this. Iran's leader threatens irreparable harm if U.S. joins military action after U.S. president calls for unconditional surrender. And might I just add that the unconditional surrender was called on his lie truth social platform diplomacy via social media, a failing social media company. This is absolutely stunning that he is so ridiculous. Total surrender on social media like that's diplomacy.

What I think is missing in every narrative that I see in the mainstream media, where it's the BBC or any sort of corporate media is Benjamin Netanyahu is not a credible messenger. And he went ahead. He has had ambitions to bomb Iran for 30 years. The reason if they haven't wrenched uranium, but I haven't seen the evidence of that and I'm old enough to remember when the United States of America was the propagandist. When Colin Powell went to the United

Nations and lied to the entire world about all of these WMDs, we get into Iraq and surprise surprise there are none. So call me a skepticist because I think Benjamin Netanyahu has had these ambitions for 30 years. And he is a total war hawk. And what's happening right now is Trump has run on this America first. Trump's on the record for 30 years through all the crazy stuff he's done back before he even entered in 2016 talking about how insane American foreign policy is in the Middle East and how much it adds to the deficit.

So I am like, put up or shut up with when it regards the United States of America getting involved because here's the thing. I don't think they were three weeks away from having a nuclear weapon. Benjamin Netanyahu saw an opportunity with a very weak president of the United States and everybody needs to be on the lookout for a false flag attack that will try to get the American public involved in another war in the Middle East. And I just want to say this, Benjamin Netanyahu has been an absolute butcher to the Palestinians. What he has done over there is horrific.

And the fact that the United States of America would believe a man that is the number one killer of children in this world right now, Benjamin Netanyahu. And we're going to take his word for it. And you know, again, then we have to go back to the person who is receiving this information based on the footage I've seen over the last year or two. This is the guy who tried to give a microphone a blowjob while he was campaigning. So, this guy is three sheets to the wind at all times. I'm not talking about alcohol. I'm talking about that's just as normal.

I wake up, this screwed up. Well, interestingly enough, do you know who agrees with you about Iran not being three weeks away from the military? from having nuclear weapon what Tulsi Gabbard and the National Intelligence Agency now So now of course Trump wants her out and then all this, you know, they're trying to kill Trump They're trying to assassinate Trump. It's like number one There's no evidence as it appears to me from reading the reports, that U.S. intelligence can confirm that they're three weeks away.

And so Trump throws in, oh, and they're trying to kill me. But one thing, this is interesting, that's going to put Trump- Hang on, I want to stop you right there because I want to correct that. When it comes to Tulsi Gabbard, it also has to be pointed out that she does not have the United States of America's best interests at heart and hasn't for quite some time. She is a Russian propagandist. So whatever she says, I don't think she's a credible messenger either. And so the problem is what gets lost in this entire conversation is what is best for the

United States of America. Donald Trump is looking out for himself and himself only. Tulsi Gabbard is looking out for Russia. Benjamin Netanyahu is looking to just destroy all of the Middle East as much as he can, as quick as he can, while the United States is this weak. So what gets lost in this entire conversation is American interests.

Absolutely, and that is the perfect segue to what I'm about to say next, which is Russia is telling Trump do not go into this war and then we've got Tulsi Gabbard Who's saying they're far from the nuclear weapons? So we've got an interesting trajectory because in my opinion Vladimir Putin is Trump's boss hog put up the headline in my opinion, Vladimir Putin is Trump's boss hog. Put up the headline. Global Eye News, breaking Russia issues warning to the United States the U.S. should not provide or even consider direct military assistance to Israel, calling it a dangerous escalation. So now we've got Benjamin Netanyahu that told him, oh my gosh, you're so great. You know, Oh, show us how strong your military is. And now you've got Putin, who's Trump's daddy saying, don't

get into it. So what's, I mean, he is in a catch 22 love triangle. Right. And this is a president who again does not have the interests of the country or its citizens at his core thought process. Like what is the best thing for the United States of America to do? What's the best thing for our citizen citizenry? What's the best use of our taxpayer dollar? And he is surrounded by people who just want to make him happy. And then he's surrounded by a lot of nefarious actors, one of whom being Tulsi Gabbard. And then you've got like Pete Hegseth, who doesn't know, you know, ship from Shinola. And so this is really, really dangerous thing.

And the people who are playing five to each house right here are Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin. And nobody is standing up for America's interests right now. And the thought of us getting involved in another long drawn out war in the Middle East based on propaganda is just a little bit more than I think the American public can stomach. And I hope that bad actors don't have some sort of attack on one of our bases to try to lure us into this. Because if it escalates, it's going to escalate to a scale that, that you're going to have China, Russia, a lot of other

actors involved. And it's just a disaster and dangerous and millions of lives will get lost. I completely agree. And that's why I want to bring up Pete Hegseth. He would be the person in charge of the Department of Defense during this time, and he is an abject failure, incompetent. Let's watch his answers in response to very pointed questions in the U.S. Senate. We'll start with Senator Rosen. Did you discuss General Hawks dismissal with Laura Loomer prior to his removal? I don't discuss who I talk about anything with but ultimately this is my decision and he serves at the pleasure of the president and that's why he's no

longer there. So do you believe it's appropriate for any social media personality to influence personnel decisions in your department, yes or no? I believe your time is up, Senator. Oh, it is not up to you to tell me when my time is up. Well, the time of the Senate. And I am going to say, Mr. Secretary, you're either feckless or complicit. You're not in control of your department. You are just as unserious.

It is shocking you're not combating anti-Semitism within your ranks. It's a dangerous and pivotal time in our nation's history. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back. And I don't appreciate the smirk, sir. You are the Secretary of Defense. Okay. I just want to point out that the fever pitch that Laura Loomer is involved in political decisions made by the Trump administration has gotten so high that it'somer is involved in political decisions made by the Trump administration has gotten so high that it's being talked about in the US Senate. And Pete Hegseth, because he cannot answer that question, is rude to a US Senator. And I saw that and I thought, in my experience dealing with untreated alcoholics,

that's exactly how they act. Yeah. And this is also a lot of the way the entire Trump administration is normalizing thumbing your nose at accountability. She's sitting there trying to make him accountable. And even though that we had a two party system, both parties full of a lot of shit, a lot arrived at these Senate hearings trying to be honest and accountable.

This administration thumbs their nose at accountability. They think that they should do whatever they want, when they want, with impunity. I just want to say one more thing about anti-Semitism. The Trump administration acting like they're trying to root out anti-Semitism is about as rich as it gets. The white supremacists anti-Semitic flags, shirts, and messaging at January 6th was off the chart. Trump pardoned a man that wore a shirt that said Auschwitz on it. And they used a lot of imagery about, like there's some acronym about possibly killing

more than six million. And so what they're doing here is they're trying to say, look at these 18 and 19 year olds at colleges that see injustice, that see a provocative country like Israel bombing the shit out of hospitals, schools, kids, women, just the general population, war crimes out the wazoo. And they see that injustice and they speak out against it. And Trump wants to attack higher education so that he can keep his population dumb so they will succumb to his propaganda more.

But nobody addresses all of the white supremacy on Twitter. That's right. Nobody addresses all of the white supremacy within the Trump administration. Nobody addresses every time you go to a Trump rally, there appears to be a Nazi flag, Nazi imagery. So it's just bullshit. In this hypocrisy like that, it exists everywhere in the MAGA movement. On the one hand, we believe this, but on the other hand, we have a whole set of actions that are diametrically opposed to this. And that type of duplicity is where democracy dies. And so I think it's good that the senators keep drawing these people out and browbeating

them. But I don't know how much more is going to change until we get to the midterms, if we get to the midterms. Flippenberg I agree with you. And the reason Trump and Elon Musk on Twitter don't go after white supremacy and the Trump administration doesn't is because they like it, because they are, in fact, white supremacists. One more clip I want to show you. I want to tell you that Senator Tammy Duckworth went all through Pete Hegseth. She was madder than a hornet. He's already a billion dollars over budget.

Like these people, Kristi Noem, over budget. Pete Hegseth over budget because they're incompetent. But the last clip that I want to leave everybody with is Elise Stefanik, and I think she makes such a great point. And of course, Pete Hegseth is the total dick that he is. Have you given the order for to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? I'm just asking the question. Don't laugh like the whole country. And by the way, my colleagues, what is that based on? What evidence would you have that an order like that has ever been given? It is based on Donald Trump giving that order to your predecessor to a Republican Secretary of Defense who I give a lot of credit to because he didn't accept the

order he had more guts and balls than you because he said I'm not gonna send in the uniformed military to do something that I know and my gut isn't right he was asked to shoot at their legs he wrote that in his book that's because he said, I'm not gonna send in the uniformed military to do something that I know in my gut isn't right. He was asked to shoot at their legs. He wrote that in his book, that's not hearsay. So you're poo-pooing of this. It just shows you don't understand who we are as a country, who we are.

And all of my colleagues across the aisle, especially the ones that served, should want an apolitical military and not want citizens to be scared of their own military. I love the military. I served alongside my whole life. So I'm worried about you tainting it. Have you given the order?

Have you given the order that they can use lethal force against honor? I want the answer to be no. Please tell me it's no. Have you given the order? Senator, I'd be careful what you read in books and believing it except for the Bible. Except for the Bible from the man who has sexual abuse allegations out the zoo, a baby mama while he's married to somebody else, and here's the deal, I don't give a shit, but he is not the person. Here's the thing, all of these people are rapture preppers.

Their support of Israel is because they are Christian Zionists this is what you mean you grew up in this world It is a part of the rapture the Jews have got to be in their places So that Jesus can come down and say pick aside Jews Are you going with us and are you gonna deny your faith? If not, well, then you're gonna burn in hell forever And so we have had decades long American foreign policy based on an Iron Age magical book. It's insane. And nobody talks about this.

Like the large majority of these right-wing evangelicals that are in the American government, their foreign policy is based on a fairy tale. That is staggering. And this doesn't even hardly hit the news. No, it doesn't. And I mean, Pete Hegseth, I'm so happy the women in the Senate were all over him because he is incompetent.

And as we look to who Trump, corrupt, incompetent, making plans or decisions about going to war with Iran, and then this man being in charge of the military, it is extremely frightening. Thanks for joining us. We'll be back later with more news.
