Starting point is 00:00:10 I'm a computer programmer. Mr. Curtis, are there programs that can be used to secretly fix elections? Yes. How do you know that to be the case? Because in October of 2000, I wrote a prototype for President Congressman Tom Feeney at the company I worked for in Oviedo, Florida that did just that. And we say did just that. It would rig an election?
Starting point is 00:00:34 It would flip the vote, 5149, to whoever you wanted it to go to and whichever race you wanted to win. And would that program that you designed be something that elections officials that might be on county boards of elections could detect? They can never see it. Mr. Would you answer that question once again? They would never see it. So how would such a program, a secret program that fixes the election, how could it be detected? You would have to view it either in the source code or you'd have to have a receipt and then count the hard paper against the actual vote total.
Starting point is 00:01:12 It starts with a simple question and ends in objective reality. Through our journey from there to here, we find one another and ourselves. And as the next 24 hours breaks free from our last, we gaze onward in reflection of the day. Tell you your own, you push on, your own... Welcome to the Daily Wrapup. Thursday, June 4th, 2026. Thank you for joining me today. Not really going to get into that election conversation
Starting point is 00:01:59 and the voting machine conversation today. But I figured I wanted to get that back in the conversation. And I will shout out somebody like Craig, pasta's work that we've overlapped with many times. Craig Jardula, his name. And he, I believe his new channel is called Pasta to Go. He interviewed Clint Curtis a while back. and you know, some of the great work he does that he rarely gets, you know, attention and credit for.
Starting point is 00:02:23 The point, though, is that this is something that's, you know, ongoing with the midterms conversation. But weirdly enough, at least in my kind of view, and that's probably because it's, you know, somewhat a bubble and everything we do today, I'm not seeing a lot of that conversation. And I find that interesting. I'm hoping it's because more and more people are starting to recognize the fraudulent nature of our entire political voting structure. Now, you can argue the very, you know, whether it's completely, broken, whether it's manipulated, whether, you know, the varying degrees within that. It seems like every side of the paradigm has some kind of an argument when it's the other team
Starting point is 00:02:58 doing it, why the system is broken and being cheated. I think if you stand back, you'll clearly recognize that all sides are manipulating everything they possibly can to get their side to win or rather their agenda in the moment, which is more accurate in the two-party illusion dynamic. But either way, it's such an important thing to think about, how you can have somebody testify with the evidence behind it that he was paid or other just, you know, whatever the process was, is asked by Tom Feeney, and I'm sure there was more than just an ask to do this. It was clearly discussed, it's outlined, and the point I always make.
Starting point is 00:03:31 And it was much more valid at, you know, 2000, like the decade following the year 2000 when that was done, but it still stands to this day. And the argument was that after that happened, guess what they didn't do? Change anything. They didn't stop the machine. They didn't, they use the, and literally the best way to frame it as the next election, they use the exact same die-bold machines. And even for years to come, they used the same software.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Now, a lot has changed technologically. But what's important is you'll see the same common threads, the same groups, the same bat. We know, some companies have changed hands, but what you'll find is the same common threads to the same broken system. You know, and there's a lot of things to get into, like I said, we're not going to talk about that today. But just we're living through this interesting time where the,
Starting point is 00:04:15 very, very, you know, central concepts in our society are being broken down. I find that to be a fantastic thing. I want the truth, even if it's uncomfortable. I'd like to believe that most people are dealing with today. And honestly, the truth is only uncomfortable because it's uncomfortable for the powerful. But on that note, just keep that in mind as this is, you know, one of the things will not even get into today, but as I'm going to briefly point to is just, as always, there's a lot going on. I mean, I'll frame it this way. There's so much happening right now. that is uncomfortable, not even just for Trump, but for the government, the entire power structure of this country. And right now, it seems they are flailing it about everything that you might care.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Like, let's put it this way. Anything that over the last decade, it seems you've jumped at. Let's just say you as like society or as the politically invested people in this country, whether that's voting machines, whether that's just the voting process, whether that's January 6th, elections being stolen, Muslims for invasion, just, and none of the, I'm not saying any of these are unimportant, but nothing new is popped up today, yet all of these things are being forced back into your view by the system. And it makes me go, that's interesting. Why are they suddenly having new congressional discussions about, you know, transgender stuff? And which, again, you know I think that's important. We've talked about it extensively. My point is not that it's not
Starting point is 00:05:31 important, but there's nothing new that I can see to reinitiate this big focus. In my opinion, other than that they want you to dive back into this and be, you know, absorbed into a conversation that is about just talking points as opposed to what's literally happening around you. And if you don't, any of the things I listed off right there, we've covered all of it. And I recommend you look into our work to recognize both why they're important, but also why you're being lied to about most of them by the partisan media. But today, other than that and keeping in mind the manipulations that are breaking down, one of them being the fraudulent voting process where the simple way I put it is your vote just does not
Starting point is 00:06:07 translate to the outcome when it comes down to it. I argue it's been stolen entirely from us, not that voting is not. important in a representative system, but rather that we should start to recognize that we don't even need the governmental structure to exist. And I think that's an important kind of paradigm change that people are understanding today. But that's beyond a lot of people, I think, just because it's hard to break away from what we've been taught. But aside from the point today about this video, we're going to get into a few important things as well about the same kind of stuff, manipulations, but largely around three main topics, really. Free speech and the hypocrisy around that,
Starting point is 00:06:40 and not even about Elon Musk, surprisingly enough. Well, we're going to talk about the continuation of the story we discussed yesterday, about the National Defense Authorization Act, the many different examples of before, and a Senate intelligence piece of legislation that is basically creating the same problem, or rather the same fusing of the military U.S., excuse me, the U.S. and Israeli military, militarily fusing them, except specifically when it comes to intelligence on the Senate side of it.
Starting point is 00:07:13 But what I want to reiterate, which I didn't have space for on the title today, was that it is more so. This is not new, and that's really important because this has been something that is, like I said yesterday, if even if that 2-24 element of the NDA gets removed, even if the Senate bill fails, we already see what's happening. It's already going on. And it's not like to say that that would make it, you know, that would make it clearly worse. The point, though, is that we need to recognize the problem is still
Starting point is 00:07:38 there even if these fail. And I hope they do. That'll simply show that we are aware of that's happening and pushing back to some degree, or at least enough to influence these profiteers in Congress to decide to join with our side, but recognize clearly that this is an ongoing problem. What we're going to discuss today is the Senate side of this and not the one we pointed out yesterday. That one was also from the 119th Congress. It's simply just the 2025, 2026, Senate part of this that had to do with the same kind of fusing. There's another bill coming out. Do you remember how many times over the years, I've pointed to you guys to say, you know, go look at just, you know, Congress.gov, look at all the different legislation that's being proposed, that's ongoing.
Starting point is 00:08:14 And it's not hard, it's not always easy to get like an all-encompassing view. But take any large topic and just search for the keyword Israel. It'll blow your mind. How many things that have nothing to do, like very domestic concepts about, you know, wool migration patterns in Alaska that somehow get woven in with some Israeli interest. I'm not even making this stuff up. And it's very crazy to how often it happens. this is only going to make it harder to see, and it's only going to make it harder to remove.
Starting point is 00:08:42 And we'll get a, if you didn't see yesterday's show, we're going to go over most of it again in regard to those points I just made, but with the new information, just about how this is a sidestep. We're going away from aid into partnership. Both of those things have always been happening in regard to both these governments. It's simply a side step. It's a way to make this more opaque, so we're not paying attention to what's actually continuing while they frame it as no longer happening. It's pretty typical. but we're also going to continue to talk about Iran
Starting point is 00:09:06 and some really important updates actually that I'll go in and say are still up in the air but an interesting development in regard to Iran's response about the bombing of the airport which we should question like we should question all of them but interesting to get into what the argument is and of course as we expected it's been denied by Iran and there's video evidence of one of their defense missiles
Starting point is 00:09:27 flying back around and hitting the airport. Is it fake? Is the evidence of the U.S. government putting out more accurate? we can get into that and decide. But I think it's pretty easy to see which group has been caught lying relentlessly in this process. That has to play a factor. But plenty of other things we'll get into. Making sure you have to date on Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, knowing what's happening is very important. This is where this comes from today.
Starting point is 00:09:48 This is something I've, the video I clipped out was only a one minute part. This is the full 11 minutes. And so I just shared this out today because of the reasons I said a second ago. Clint Curtis alleged in 2000 that Representative Tom Feeney, former now, had him right. had him write software to undetectably alter election results on voting machines. Curtis testified under oath that his program could award a specific candidate 51% of the vote. No accountability. Nothing truly changed.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Now, things changed, right? But in the sense of what this was, that still exists, I think you can prove that. And it seems every either side will make that argument when it's about the other side and never reflect on the fact that it's all of our government. But understand he's talking about taking whatever the numbers were and sort of flipping them to 49-51, which is kind of often what we send to see, isn't it? But bear that in mind. Now, a couple of quick points I wanted to highlight in regard to what I was saying about just flailing into the directions of anything else to talk about. One of the things we discussed already,
Starting point is 00:10:44 which I do find to be important, is the idea of like the fake hate groups and the, you know, ADL fake Nazi Marx as we've talked about over the years. One of the recent iterations of that has been the effort of the two-party illusion to sort of couch that in one group and blaming it on the Democrats, despite all of the evidence that shows that's ridiculous. In this case has to do with the Southern Law, a poverty law center. It's an important story, but what you're getting is these partisans, and Elon Musk, yep,
Starting point is 00:11:09 and 100% thumbs up, bringing it up to all of his influence when all it really is is the same story he shares from multiple perspectives, like this one, is the same story. And if you don't remember this, oh, actually, um, oh, PLC, there it is. I want to make sure I got the article for you so you guys can read
Starting point is 00:11:29 our coverage on it, because I'm not going to go in too deep. But understanding that as we discussed, it's a deflection. Because what we're discussing here is the fact that this group absolutely, and look, let's just, the point being that they controlled these things or created these protests, the evidence isn't there. Am I disputing that they're doing that? No, I think it's very, in my opinion, I think it's obvious that groups like this are used
Starting point is 00:11:50 by left and right to manipulate us. Again, that's what an objective perspective looks like, because if you try to carve this onto one side, you're lying to yourself. The evidence is so profoundly obvious that both sides utilize, whether it's through SPLC or some other group the same tactics. So in this case, you have a group that their evidence shows had informants. Now, do I believe it's more than informants? I do. And I argued that the last time I talked about this when they weren't couching in a different story. But the evidence shows that they use informants. So does the FBI. They're going to argue that what they did was actually create these
Starting point is 00:12:24 movements, but then you get people like this, they say they organized the Charlottesville rally and paid them to transfer. That's not what the evidence shows. That's what they're turning it into by saying that the people that they funded who were their assets or their informants or however you want to look at it ultimately then went on to do this. Now, is it possible if they yes. I argue it's probably more likely, but not just the Democrats responsible. But what's crazy is here we go again for them going, look a new thing. It's not new. Why are they reiterating the same, the same policy because they wanted to be talked about again? Now, I hope they're held accountable, frankly, whether or not it's only up one side because all the government is
Starting point is 00:13:03 responsible in my mind. Here's another example where Tyler or Neal says, read it. Just department just secured a superseding indictment against the Southern Ply. And it reveals some new bombshell. No, not really. It's the same conversation. There is informants that they paid who are involved with many of these things. Now, I can prove to you many times over these groups are involved, like I can show you the FBI has groups they work with that I argue are just informants, but in fact creating the thing they use to point to. I wouldn't deny that's happening here. But what I want to continue to highlight is we'll briefly point to people like John Bolton and the others because there is a development on John Bolton is I think these are designed to be flimsy.
Starting point is 00:13:37 There's so much more you could do with this. And ultimately what they're doing is aiming at something that will be denied as informants. Good luck making the case that they were choosing to create the thing they pretend they're stopping when ultimately all they did was fund people into positions that then gave them information on why they were doing the things they said were wrong. Now, do not take this support for anything. Not Elon Musk, not against Elon Musk, not about four S.S. PLC or against it. I mean, in a sense, I am against it, to be quite honest, because I don't like
Starting point is 00:14:07 the way that they manipulate people. But I wanted to be taken as what exactly what this looks like, a misrepresentation of what the information in this docket shows. It's simple as that. And it's what they keep doing. So if you want to watch this, and we also touched yesterday, by the way, on the cannabis reclassification deception and it had to do with the hemp discussion from Trump, which is yet another failure for the maha, rather the fake maha movement. This goes back to the original point. But we'll see you how this goes. I just think it's important to see how much of this. And by the way, here it is. April 21st, 2026. That's when this came out. And somehow this is new, new things. This is what they're linking to. The same one we showed you before. But somehow on June
Starting point is 00:14:47 3rd, it's now new information. Good luck not seeing through that if you're paying attention. Now, despite this, and I can show you 100,000 examples, all the different things we're dealing with, all the failures, all the impossible. Like, we're going to point to the free speech hypocrites right now, two of the main ones really that are being just standing out because of the failure he just had in front of a a bunch of lefty you know left like people that are also wrong in their left leaning opinions but happen to be making Dave Rubin look like a moron because he doesn't understand basic facts that even they seem to grasp but still are wrong in plenty of other left leaning ways people trapped in the partisanship we'll go over that a second my point is the free speech discussion is you know it's
Starting point is 00:15:26 these people are hypocrites and what what we're seeing with all of this is they're utilizing the partisan dynamic to keep you trapped within this elucer, like basically, like I keep saying, it's all flash, no substance. They're continually dumping what this is is a play on some movie and dumping it out like it's somehow Trump doing well. But nobody's saying that. The reason I reference the Rubin part is because in that discussion, they're simply going, he's failed everything he's been trying to do.
Starting point is 00:15:54 And in fact, if you look, that's what most Republicans are saying at this point. But yet you still get these people, we'll stand there and act like they're, Trump's winning and everything's going the way it's supposed to when the wars are over. I don't even know whether he actually thinks that. I honestly, I think there's a huge level of this of people who have been kind of caught up in their own belief superiority, where they think that they got the right sources. I know the president. I got all the information.
Starting point is 00:16:19 There's so much fake news. All those things are real and accurate, I guess, except for the fact that Trump also lies to you. Or you take things at face value from the government, which is dumb all the time, no matter whose side you're on. and I think people like that might even think they're right. As he sits there and going, the cause of war, that's over, bombing? What are you talking about? It's like, how was he possibly not seeing these things? Anyway, this point was Secretary Kennedy.
Starting point is 00:16:40 This is today, guys, of everything that's happening. He says, thank you, POTUS, Trump, for 500 historic days of leadership. Together, we are confronting chronic disease? Are you kidding me? By putting prevention first? This is how we make America healthy again. Do you realize they don't even have that movement anymore? Nobody in that actual movement supports them because
Starting point is 00:16:59 they failed in every single meaningful stance. I mean, Derek is working on an article to show you what they did with fluoride. They're now going back against the original ruling that happened under Biden's administration. And I don't think Biden's responsible for that. I think the fluoride action network is responsible with that. I think people like Derek are responsible for highlighting the problem. Trump is just reneging on the action, going back on food dies, giving children COVID shots. I mean, how do we not see?
Starting point is 00:17:23 Well, again, we do. The majority does, I think. I simply said all they seem to have at the moment is bad PR. Who is telling them this is a good idea? That's a real question. 500 days of summer, I think, was the movie. That's the best you can do. And that's RFK Jr.
Starting point is 00:17:38 I have a hard time believing that's actually his decision. Anyway, that's insane. Now, let's get to something that matters. Or I guess a continuation of that part and something that kind of matters. John Bolton reaches deal to plead guilty. Now, I'm kind of joking because I'm glad this guy, if this even happens,
Starting point is 00:17:53 is some in any way seen to be a criminal. But do you realize how flimsy this is for two reasons? before we even get into it, the idea that he's, you know, first of all, the article saying he's reached a deal that two plead guilty, and that's going to happen. Well, how often that doesn't end up happening when you get stuff from the corporate media? But what we're dealing with here is a really flimsy discussion about him sending himself stuff that you could argue is classified.
Starting point is 00:18:16 We're not going to get to see what it is. So who knows what level that really means. They classify any number of dumb things that he sent to himself and then had on a server that he was writing and he was writing a book. And those things, by the way, came out in the book. Now, what I'm saying I don't know is that we don't know what things they're griping about, as far as I can tell. They say that there are things in there that are classified, and I guess you can read the book and find out, but they're public now. And they're saying that he's being held accountable for that.
Starting point is 00:18:41 So what's to say they hold him accountable for that? Well, at best, you're going to get a fine. Maybe some jail time, which I'm almost going to guarantee won't happen. This is John Bolton we're talking about. All the things Trump has yelled about, which by the way are more than this. Why aren't those things being charged? But on top of that, realize this guy's a monster. This is an old school neocon authoritarian.
Starting point is 00:19:02 He's been around for so long trying to get Venezuela overthrown, trying to get Iran overthrown. He's been great. And here he is being charged with some flimsy thing that will give him a slap on the wrist. You don't find that to be insulting or James Comey, which won't happen. Or Leticia James, by the way, that has been tried three times and they keep failing because they don't, aren't trying to go after them. There's plenty of evidence.
Starting point is 00:19:25 These people are criminals, guys. That's the reality of the two-party illusion. So here's the article. John Bolton reaches deal to plead guilty over classified information. John Bolton, a national security advisor to Trump in his first term, has reached a tentative deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to mishandling classified information when he compiled notes for a book that was harshly critical of the president, according to two people familiar with the matter. A notice in Maryland federal court where Bolton was indicted last year, again, remember that all that means was charged. Doesn't mean he's guilty, which I always pointed out for the people that cheer every time it's an indictment that goes around. it says indicates how he is, how indicates he is now scheduled for a rearrangement. A hearing that can signal a planned guilty plea.
Starting point is 00:20:09 The hearing is set for June 26. So I guess we'll have to wait and see. Something tells me it won't even actually happen. Call me crazy. But under the terms of the plea deal, which still requires approval from a judge, which also is another asterisk there where a judge just goes, never mind, I don't agree with this, or they can do that. And maybe that's the plan.
Starting point is 00:20:28 knows. John Bolton plans to plead guilty to a single count of legal retention of classified information and pay a fine. Facing anywhere from no prison time to five years of incarceration when he is sentenced. According to the people familiar with the negotiations, who spoke on a condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss them. I got to love how the system works. If Mr. Bolton had gone to trial and lost, he could have faced decades in prison. Are you of the mind that this judge is going to hold John Bolton accountable for this? Do you think the judge who decides ultimately what the charge is is going to put this man in prison for something that people have been slapping the wrist for, that Trump and Clinton and
Starting point is 00:20:59 half of each of their families are guilty of? I don't. And that's not even about whether he should. It's about the fact that this person is so much more a criminal than this little tiny thing they're trying to put on him. And I'm not trying to diminish the importance, let's say, of, you know, being able to secret away classified information. There's a realm in which that's a huge deal. I don't think that's this. Frankly, if it's in his book and there's no issue, I think we know it's not this. The plea would provide President Trump perhaps his most significant victory. Think about that for second. That's his most significant victory if it happens in his campaign to prosecute his perceived enemies, which by the way was somebody who he put in his administration in his first term.
Starting point is 00:21:35 That's funny, which so far has largely floundered, I guess, once cases hit the courts. Foundered? No, I'm pretty sure they've been flattered. Who knows? But the case against Mr. Bolton, who has emerged as a president, persistent critic of Mr. Trump since leaving his administration in 2019, was always different from the others that Mr. Trump has pushed the Justice Department to prosecute. The investigation into him was also pursued and gained momentum under the Biden administration. Isn't that interesting? When U.S. intelligence agencies gathered what former officials have described as troubling evidence. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:22:10 So the Biden administration gathered this evidence and Trump is now using it to slap Bolton on the wrist? Yeah, I think that's relevant. The original 18 count indictment against Mr. Bolton accused him of using personal email and a messaging app to share more than a thousand pages of notes, which included national defense information with two family members who did not have security clearances.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Just a quick jump ahead, we'll come back to. Where was that? Isn't it all been down here? Yeah. Do you remember when Walls got caught using a telemessage app which was quite literally an Israeli intelligence created app
Starting point is 00:22:44 that was for archiving signal messages and he was using that in the inner circle of the White House? And of course, the media made it about a signal gate app or signal gate conversation. It wasn't signal. It was telemessage, look it up, and it was clearly an Israeli intelligence app that is archiving information
Starting point is 00:23:01 from their internal security signal. And that's not enough? That's not something to get somebody. No, no, no. Israel is allowed to look at all of our private classified information. This isn't apparently, you know, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:23:12 John Bolton, either this is about making it look like there's accountability and this guy's never going to be held accountable at all, or he said something that irritated Trump and Trump as a child, and so he decided to use evidence, that Biden collected to go after somebody who he had on his first term. That's just embarrassing, I think.
Starting point is 00:23:29 But overall, I still stand by the fact that whether Trump is mad at him or not, it's not going to go anywhere, not that it should. And it's Mr. Bolton's wife and daughter, apparently. The relatives were, you know, so what that is important to see is that he sent this to himself or ultimately to a notes included basically with two family members or at least had access to that ultimately ended up being his wife and his daughter. I'm not trying to diminish that this person's a criminal, but understand this feels like a very, I get the sense this is going to be almost laughed about when it comes from what the court does.
Starting point is 00:24:03 The indictment charged that, excuse me, charged that as he wrote notes for his book in 2020, quote, the room where it happened, Mr. Bolton indicated that he knew he was describing carefully guarded government secrets. I just don't even believe that. One entry by Mr. Bolton began, the intel briefer said, while another read, while in the situation room I learned. Well, guess what? Now you can read the rest of those sentences and find out what the hell they didn't want you to see. The Trump administration fought unsuccessfully to prevent the publication of Mr. Trump, Mr. Bolton's book. The criminal
Starting point is 00:24:34 investigation ultimately focused not on what was in the manuscript, but what Mr. Bolton had written in his private notes. Oh, great. So now we have something that we don't get to see. Some private note that never made into the book that never technically get anywhere than Bull. I mean, this seems silly to me. Am I crazy? Does this feel like a bunch of nonsense? when this guy's a war criminal who's murdered children, who's, I mean, you could go down the list of all of them. Yeah, but let's slap them on the wrist for some private notes that might not even exist. I get the sense, like all the rest of them, if you have any, if you've been seeing the track record, that this is meant to go nowhere. Or at the very least, go, hey, Bolton, here's a fine.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Give us $100,000 and we'll go away. Like, that's justice. Well, Trump housing official seeks new DOJ prosecution of Letitia James. Yeah, in case you don't know, Trump administration official made two criminal referrals Wednesday against New York Attorney General Leticia James months after the Department of Justice failed for a third time in its efforts to prosecute this person. Why? There's only a couple ways to look at this. And you know what? They're not even the one saying these are politicized judges, even though they all are, in my opinion, because most of them were not. Most of them were people that were on there. So the reality here is that we're talking about
Starting point is 00:25:46 either a case that has nothing to back it up, which is how you saw the first one, it was, that's why the people quit. They're making them put forward cases that they know we're going to fail. And if you have any integrity, you're going to go, I'm not doing that. That's going to make me look stupid. I'm not doing that because Trump says. And so they got someone else in the place. My point is it either has no evidence or they're trying not to go after these people. You can decide. But that's where we are. So on the other point of the kind of deflection, distraction, distraction, nonsense part of this. In a jaw-dropping announcement, this person reports, President Trump disclosed that George Soros and Reid Hoffman are funding
Starting point is 00:26:22 Antifa and the left wing violence against ICE. Trump vows to launch a RICO investigation into George Soros. He stated they're going to have some problems. How about probably not at all? But what's funny to me, first of all, is that, yeah, as Bacent is standing right next to him, who's literally tied to George Soros or and his, the lot of every point you could make. Overall, we're talking about people like Reed Hoppe, by the way, that has been, I mean,
Starting point is 00:26:43 the idea, first of all, not to go into all of the interconnected points of naming those two people as if that's anybody he will ultimately go after and claiming that they're funding Antifa, which is, by the way, a group that they've never defined, never been able to identify a location, a leader, a group of organization. It's just an ambiguous idea, which I argue is very much manipulated by the government for both sides of them against all of the people, just like the left and right always do. You can disagree with that. The point is that they're continuing to point in a group, a nebulous idea that they apply to anyone they disagree with. Yep, just like the left guys, surprise, surprise, are the same thing. The point, though, I don't think
Starting point is 00:27:20 it's going to go anywhere regardless. As this person points out, again, President Trump and his cabinet, as well as the Department of Justice, know about this, if you agree with it, and nothing will be done. So the same point applies. Even if you 100% agree, the same thing is always the right. We'll do something then. Please arrest somebody, anybody. Go ahead, Trump, we're waiting. Go ahead, Cash Patel. Go after anybody. Of course, the point is always of them dumping out a bunch of numbers, half of which came from the Biden administration, half of which didn't technically happen, some of which aren't even what they claim they are, you know, just like the Doge experience. It's the same stuff going on.
Starting point is 00:27:54 But the point is not about arresting people for crimes. The point is about the ones you promised you would go after, right? The actions you swore were going to happen. And so I'm not even suggesting that half of the things he said were something that should happen. What I'm saying is if you're looking at this from an accountability perspective, they have not gone after anybody they claimed. No one's been arrested for the Epstein files. None of the people that Jones and all the rest swore were going down,
Starting point is 00:28:18 the Obama's, the comies, the rest. So how do you not look at these groups like people that are trying to keep you flipping, you know, in the hamster wheel, running in place, hoping that it's all going to come down until it's too late to look back. Well, here, by the way,
Starting point is 00:28:33 is the J.D. Vance version of Doge, which, by the way, is also embarrassing. Trump administration's full-scale war on fraud. Well, yeah, there's a lot of stuff being yelled about. There's a lot of indictments and a lot of stuff being investigated as far as I can tell. Please feel free to double-check this. One person has pled guilty.
Starting point is 00:28:50 After all of this stuff they're pointing to, and this is not even all of it. One person that I can tell, and I'm looking at this today, the Department of Justice secured a guilty plea. From a California fraudster accused of submitting $270 million in false reimbursement, it's great. It's a person who defrauded the government. Well, that's good. Get arrested. But you should also arrest yourself for defrauding us every single day.
Starting point is 00:29:11 The point is not about arresting individuals, but about actually being accountable, guys. They're not going after everybody who's fraudulent. Juan Orlando Hernandez are people that they completely, and that's not even a good example, since it's not in the United States, tons of people that they pardoned who are objective criminals. One, that's their massive fraud investigate. Well, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day. I've always said that I'm not pretending that they'll probably do something. What's funny is, I keep doing saying that, and then you look back and go, God, they didn't even
Starting point is 00:29:38 you could have, like, pretended to arrest somebody. Well, I guess we'll find out. But my point in general, guys, is even if you think, even if this goes where you think it will, you have to stand back and then go, but they lied to us about Doge, right? Right, guys? That was a lot or they fail? Yes, yes, you have to acknowledge
Starting point is 00:29:54 this is a secondary effort to do the same thing and it's still failing because guys, they don't really care about fraud. They care about presenting something that makes you think they care about fraud. And everyone seems to see that. At least, it seems like far too many of the ones who are now at a high level
Starting point is 00:30:13 who are starting to realize that they can't keep not saying, this only want to aim at people other than Trump. Now, I'm not even necessarily saying J.P. Sears, because he does seem like he's at least in some ways been kind of critical of Trump, but it's starting to become more, it's more difficult to not point at who's responsible. But I'll take what I can get. The reality of people like this, not like this is Cash Patel for the podcast. It's somebody that most of them were like, he's going to be the greatest before because anybody Trump picks is apparently the best possible, even though they're not the best for the job. He says, it's simple if you betray this
Starting point is 00:30:46 will find you and you'll face justice. Of course, FBI director sharing Eric Doudardy, an absolute clown clapping seal who's wrong about 90% of what he posts because he shares whatever the government says. Yeah, that's the new independent media, guys, but that's how dumb this is. You have Cash Patel sharing this guy because this guy says, look at how great cash is. And he goes, look at that. How sad that is. But the point, as JP Sears, a very influential Republican commentator, you know, satirist or whatever you want to call him, unless you're in Epstein, criminal. Or a politician committing treason on behalf of Israel. Insider trading, for example, or investing in data centers, or working for Pfizer or part of the military industrial complex,
Starting point is 00:31:25 or name Jared Kushner, otherwise, Cash Patel will find you if you betray the country. See how embarrassing that is? Like, everybody everywhere who's not a moron is looking at this stuff because the Democrats hate them anyway, because they're blinded by partisanship just like the other side. So they're already like, whatever you do, you're bad. Now you've got Republicans who are also going, yeah, you're pretty, you're bad and you suck at this and you're I don't know why that's so hard for some people in independent media to just acknowledge. It's not, and that doesn't mean they're right about what they're doing. It doesn't mean you have to support everything that they think is good for this country,
Starting point is 00:31:55 but you need to start acknowledging that plenty of honest average Americans are very upset with Trump because he lied and didn't deliver on what he said he would, even if you disagree with those things being good for this country. None of us got, we were promised. And so the point is they are actually still people that want to make America great again, even if you disagree. people like JPCers or higher up levels. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:17 You could argue they just simply gravitated over here because enough people are starting to point to it. I ask those questions, and you should too. You should ask it about me. You should be questioning everything. My point is the tuckers of the world and gravitating that way, I'd like to believe it's genuine
Starting point is 00:32:30 and I'm going to hope for that. Either way, it has to show you that there are enough average people who believe that that people start gravitating that way. It's so important to see that. So MAGA is not fake in my mind. The people who faked it were the government and the fake podcasters.
Starting point is 00:32:45 There's the average grouping of this country that actually wanted those things. Now, I'll be the first to argue I'm not sure where that lies. Like, for all we know, only 5% of this country even cares about what's going on in politics and they just lie to us all day.
Starting point is 00:32:57 I don't know. I don't believe that, but I think it's important to question how easy it is to manipulate us through social media. And of course, this is just funny. For the podcast, just a meme showing a woman dancing,
Starting point is 00:33:09 Epstein client list and cash uncomfortable looking the other direction because he never wants to address that. Of course. Now here's Glenn Greenwald calling out Glenn Beck. When Beck says Candice Owens taking a suspicious trip to Russia is not the real story. It's only proof that Russia and Alexander Dugan's massive propaganda operation is working. Whoa, whoa. This is the Republicans? Hold on a second. I thought they were the ones telling us Russia wasn't manipulating this country.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Yep. And as Glenn points out, it's wild to watch MAGA. And these are in my mind, this is not MAGA. These are the people that were pretending to want what MAGA said they wanted, who ultimately did not support now are supporting Trump, even though we didn't do that. I still find that to be obvious, but he says, it's wild to watch what I argue the fake MAGA now sound exactly like Rachel Maddow and Adam Schiff when talking about Russia. How funny is that? Now, what I mean by that before is that if you right now talk to a lot of average people,
Starting point is 00:33:59 like somebody in my family who I've been referencing who now goes, I see it. And Trump's, he's betrayed us. And everyone I know feels the same. They don't agree with what Glenn is saying here, even if they like Glenn Beck. Because they're arguing that's the same thing Democrats say. Right? That ultimately, they are the one siding with Trump when they now see through him, essentially. Now, who's to say what percentage that is? But wouldn't you argue the people who are now seeing through him who wanted what he originally promised that they are still MAGA or whatever that would represent? I would. Now he says, Russian civilization has produced remarkable works of literature, science, religion, architecture, politics. It's fascinating to visit talking to Russians is not sinister. Yeah, obviously. But this person says, funny enough, clearly on the kind of Republican side of this, arguing Glenn is wrong.
Starting point is 00:34:43 You're ignoring that Glenn Beck said that her trip to Russia is not the issue. No, it's not wrong to talk to Russians if you're inclined to do so, but not to recognize that Russia is working hard to undermine the West through insidious propaganda and medium manipulation is a mistake. Well, I guarantee they are, just like every government in the world is probably doing something like that to other countries. That shouldn't be ignored, but the point is not that it's happening. As I've always said, even during the Russia Gate thing, calling Russia Gate a lie,
Starting point is 00:35:08 you still had to point out that it's probably easy to see that Russia is doing something in some degree like they're all doing to manipulate a perception in the benefit of their government. The point is that you have Republicans who were saying that was ridiculous when it applied to Russia and Trump, who are now going, Russia is infiltrating people on the right podcaster's side? It's humorous. I see what Glenn is saying. And he says, yes, that was the core Democrat party and media claim underlying Russia game. Exactly what you're now saying.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Here is Glenn making fun of halal flow, but specifically Ben Shapiro. And this is my point about the Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro. Dave Rubin, you know, and all the rest that we've talked about, this massive group of people who pretended to fight for free speech when plenty of Americans left and right actually believed in free speech and still do. But now, as we've been seeing throughout the El Calibur 7th forward conversation, they're showing themselves to be exactly what we thought they were. And as he says, the fraudulent dying Israel First Media Company, this company here, and its figurehead, Ben Shapiro, deceived their audience by branding as principally devoted to free speech and debate.
Starting point is 00:36:12 debate, which would mean you stand up for those things regardless of who is saying it and what they're saying. It doesn't matter. I'll defend Laura Lumer's right to stand up and scream the most vile thing she can think up, what she does every day, because that's free speech. But I also will call her exactly what I think she is and highlight why and show other people how to see it. That's what free speech is. It's absolute, guys. There is no line. There is no fire in a theater if you understand the reality of what that means. As always, we can debate as a country if we think there should be lines. there should be lines of any kind, then you're arguing for limited speech. Just be honest about that. And I'm not even saying it's wrong. Maybe that's where we should go. I disagree.
Starting point is 00:36:50 But they, of course, favored censorship of Israel critics, and it's good that they're now explaining explicitly admitting it. Where he says, Michael Knowles openly argues that Hassan Pikes should be censored. Literally. Censored. That's what he said. And kept out of civilized countries. Should be in prison. Yeah, really about free speech, aren't they? Now, let's get into this quickly about both Dave Rubin and Ben Shapiro. Why? Why? Because Because these two people were literally doing a campus rotation about why free speech was important. Like all during the woke conversation, right? Now they're the woke side of the right.
Starting point is 00:37:22 That's what it really means. The same kind of censorship-driven hate speech dynamic. And so they were going around going, you know, as Ben would famously say, facts don't care about your feelings. And I'm going to go, I'm going to show you some good examples. And here they are now acting like they're still consistent saying, you're not. not allowed to say those things about Israel. And it's just hard to watch. But if you haven't seen it yet, it's important to recognize.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Here's Dave Rubin today, June 4th anyway, saying denaturalize and deport. Okay, first of all, as you know, this is Rashida Thalib, as a member of Congress, an American, and says Rashid Thelib calls for supporters to mobilize across the country and seize the power and fight back. Yeah, very classic conversations statements made by politically motivated people to mean take the political power back. Of course, she could mean violence, but that's like saying the seashells meant death when they could mean getting out of the political field. It's dumb, guys, for you to start making these arguments because what it means is you're now trying to decide lines when it comes to speech.
Starting point is 00:38:24 My argument's the same. I don't care what she says. It's speech. We used to believe that. Now, you can argue in a world where all national security and you're not allowed to say, Trump, you should, you know, bad things against the press. You could argue that. And maybe you all agree. And I'm wrong. I'm okay with that. If that becomes the way that, the way that, that goes. I mean, not really, but I'll accept that the society would agree. The point, though, is that obviously, if you believe in free speech, you should be able to say whatever you want. Taking the action that then actually breaks the law, surprise, surprise, well, that would be the breaking the law part, saying the things, how can that be breaking the law? But this is what we used to say the left was doing, right? So what they're trying to do is that she's mobilizing a
Starting point is 00:39:02 revolution against the country. Well, what's funny about that, first of all, is that's actually protected by the Constitution. So hilarious to me, that the idea that America, could mobilize, which is now how they're framing that, the idea of changing, you know, what is the statement that should this government act against its own interest, paraphrasing, that you have the right to alter or abolish it. That's literally in there. Well, of course, that's not what they think today because they want to control and protect their power over you. If you came out and say, well, I don't care if 100% of the country voted that you guys need to be removed, they wouldn't be removed. And I think we all know that. That speaks for itself.
Starting point is 00:39:37 What he's doing here, no matter what you think, about what she's saying is a contradiction of what he's always said not only first of all that you should dene that you should censor her which goes without saying that's what he's pointing to but then on top of that that you should denaturalize her which there's no legal standing for that no matter what in this context saying things no matter what as a citizen there's nothing you can do that there's very fringe just examples about when that's applied none of it has to do a speech and deport So now you're talking about denaturalizing an American citizen in order to deport them. Think about how far that is from this clown walking around saying that free speech is paramount.
Starting point is 00:40:18 And the facts don't care about your feelings. It's just, it's stark, guys. Now here's a clip of that recent discussion. You can watch the whole thing here. Like I said, it's an hour and 41. There's plenty that it's discussed in here that I disagree, like the whatever you call this, the surround. It's titled one MAGA Republican, which, by the way, guys,
Starting point is 00:40:36 he's not MAGA. If he's currently defending Trump, which he is, that's not MAGA because Trump's not fighting for America. And most people that are MAGA are calling that out. And that's a very easy thing to see. I'll keep pointing it out. But one fake MAGA against 20 far left Democrats. So if you watch this, there's somebody that's a trans person arguing things that I flatly disagree with. The point is it's not about taking all of their side against him, but it's about highlighting Dave Rubin's hypocrisy about specific issues. So feel free to watch it. It's entertaining at some parts, but it's hard to watch and others for both sides reasons. But here's a clip.
Starting point is 00:41:09 It's also by this kid, this kid's super irritating the way he's super smug. But I think it's important to hear what Dave Rubin tries to say. One of the ones going around is how she's going, the war in Gaza is still going. And he goes, it is. Are there bombs being dropped? Like, absolutely argues that there's no ongoing war in Gaza.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Think about how stupid you have to be or dishonest to actually argue that. Well, I'll show you today. There are bombs. There are attacks. I mean, they just bombed parts of the tents. in there i just showed you in the last show but apparently dave reuben that's not happening but here's a clip a debater completely as they as they write exposes dave reuben on surrounded jubilee he confirms the trump administration illegally used executive orders to crush pro-palistine speech no no no that is the
Starting point is 00:41:52 truth it's completely growled tried to rewrite the constitution the executive order with executive order one four one six zero and it was followed up by one four one six zero one where they use this to target individuals for Palestinian speech like Mahmoud Khalil. And this is already. Khalil, right? Now, we went very deep into that conversation. Just a quick little update, a quick little refresher. Khalil was a very, very, like, what's the best quick way to describe it?
Starting point is 00:42:19 He was a very, what's the word I'm looking for? You know, dressed well, very, you know, academic. Like, what's the word? Give me a word in the chat. Like from a perception perspective, he presented very well. He was not out there protesting violently. he was not in groups that were supporting for violence. In fact, he was chosen as the person in the middle of the mediating conversation because
Starting point is 00:42:40 both sides respected him. That's very easy to prove. He was highly respected at the school. He was an academic. Guys, there's a better word for that, though, if you know what I'm saying. Like, he just, he was a very professionally front, uh, uh, uh, what's the word I'm looking for. for anyway, he just presented very professional.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Now, that's what to say that he, you know, he could be any number of things behind the scenes. What they have said about him and what he goes on to say about him is just, incorrect. You can feel free to look it up. Look at his social media. Look at what he does in school. Look at what he's saying to this very day. He's the social, it's, it's even worse of a mischaracterization than what they were doing to Garcia, who I've never argued that I know is a good person. Who knows? I wouldn't say it about Khalil. I don't know their inner working thoughts in the previous actions, but what I can prove to you is they lied aggressively about everything I said about these people.
Starting point is 00:43:27 And so here's Dave Rubin arguing about Khalil, somebody who has been vindicated in court, right, who they tried to deport for six. simply saying things about Gaza. I mean, that's just mind-blowing that anyone arguing they defend free speech can defend this. Individuals for pro-Palestinian speech like Mahmoud Khalil, and this is already ruled upon, by the way. I'm sure you know about this, correct? Okay. But you try to rewrite the Constitution be exactly to work.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Can the president do that? There is a difference. Hold on. There is a difference between exercising free speech. There's a difference between exercising free speech and closing down a campus. Oh, okay. So point to where he did that. Surprise, surprise,
Starting point is 00:44:04 surprise, Khalil did not do that. Not letting students get... You're an interesting character. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you seem nice. There's a difference between exercising free speech, which I will always defend your... No, you won't.
Starting point is 00:44:17 I can give you 15 examples. I'll give you a clip in a second where he doesn't do that. Free speech, no matter how noxious it is. The president doesn't? And closing down campuses... No, they weren't. No, mockwood Khalil and all of these masked...
Starting point is 00:44:28 He was almost deported with no... All these masked, mass jihadis... I didn't say, guys. I mean, this is what I, this is what I was saying before. I do not believe that Rubin even recognizes that he's wrong. That's just my personal gut feeling. For all I know, he's just a completely dishonest person and knows he's lying. Neither would shock me.
Starting point is 00:44:48 But there's something about this that I just get this feeling that he's like smugly feels he's right. And what he's talking about is somebody who does not in any way represent what he's saying. He's not out there with, you know, all the garb and protesting. He's standing there professionally trying to stand up for these people in every single example I've ever seen. And very professionally, very straightforward, very maturely. You know what I mean? Again, it's not about good or bad. It's about understanding the framing of how they're trying to manipulate this.
Starting point is 00:45:12 They want you to think he's some kind of radical terrorist out there fighting for overthrow the America. It's not what was happening. It matters, guys. And you could even argue by the way that he wants this country to fail. That has nothing to do with whether or not he has the right to say with what he was saying. And he does. And the courts ruled that.
Starting point is 00:45:29 And it's just, it's embarrassing that somebody like this can continue to stand there. But I mean, look, here's what. obvious. This feels like this completely destroyed whatever reputation he had left. It's not, that's coming from all sides that I can see in this conversation. So that's why it's kind of important to point this out. This is kind of an interesting changing moment. No cause. And it's literally in the documents of the case. Well, first off, Marco Review has illustrated the point many, many times. If you're here on a green card or a student visa or anything else, you don't, you don't have the exact same protection. Now, guys, it's the same old story we've got
Starting point is 00:45:58 over. The simple reality is, no, you're not exactly the same protections. But there's, again, very slim things you use to try to remove someone's green card. Speech is not one of them. Rubio's ridiculous argument that if they had told us they like Hamas and supporting terrorism before they came in, we wouldn't have given it to them. Well, that's not even a valid argument. Because one, you're not demonstrating that they do any of those things. But at the end of the day, what are you trying to say that they secretly withheld this
Starting point is 00:46:21 passion for terrorism and that years later decided to talk about Gaza and therefore it's just flimsy. And again, that's why it wasn't held up in court. You think someone like this who calls himself a journals would be able to piece these things together. You don't. Congress shall make no law. What? It's just kind of hard to watch because I find that kid to be very irritating and still
Starting point is 00:46:42 he can't defend himself. Now, here's Day Rubin on February 17th, 2022. Post-Millennial says police move through the peaceful freedom protest in Ottawa, handing out notices to leave. And he says, peaceful protests now illegal in Canada. Wonder what happens in the society which doesn't allow its citizens to congregate and air their grievances freely. Now, for those that want to constantly argue that everything ever around Gaza is always violent, you're lying. It's not true. It's easy to prove. But sure,
Starting point is 00:47:11 there are violent protests in any category of any kind, this one included. But does that mean then immediately that no other protest is ever allowed to take place around that conversation? We'll apply that to trucker convoys or anything else you want to argue. They too were manipulated. They too were framed as look at them, Nazis with their flag. You mean that guy you ran out in the middle of the group? That's how that would work. So if you can apply the logic on your side, look at it the other way around and realize that there's plenty of objectively obvious, peaceful protests of people standing out there saying this is against the law. And they call them terrorists, Rubin himself.
Starting point is 00:47:42 So in this case, this is back in 2022 when he was pretending to believe in free speech. And he's simply going, how dare you not allow them to protest about their ideas? Well, here he is. Citing this criminal of Nanya Dufthali, the guy who got caught in, like right in the beginning of the post-October 7th discussion lying. Like, it was the first discussion of. the missile that I think was about hitting that first hospital. Remember I think was the Ali hospital and he came out with the argument that was the lie. And then the Israeli government said the opposite.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Then he deleted it and changed his argument. Now realize he is basically part of the massive propaganda network on this platform. He says breaking. France just banned pro-Palestine protest. Not violent. Not ones that were happening. Just protests that were pro-Palestinian. That's it. Ban them before they even happen. Try to make that. try to reconcile that with what he just said in 2022. Not banned violent protests, banned any pro-Palestin protests before they even take place. Hey, Rubin says, maybe the West has a chance.
Starting point is 00:48:44 That's just basic textbook hypocrisy, guys. And it's important to call it out. I mean, in any case, if you feel I'm doing something that is hypocritical to what I've always said, I hope you'll call me out. Because look, I would even argue that this happens to people sometimes. We're talking about a million different things. And one day you make an argument,
Starting point is 00:49:03 especially when you do kind of the shows we do, that you're off the cuff. You're talking about something new and you get a new idea pops in your head and you kind of work it together. And who knows, maybe something you said 10 years ago challenges that. I don't think I've ever done that.
Starting point is 00:49:14 I think my consistency is pretty clear. But if I do, I want you to call me out. I want to be aware of it so that I can address it because I would argue anybody honest would want that. Because even anybody, somebody who is honest, which I would even say on top of that, somebody who actually cares about the truth, might still not want to address it because they just are too caught up in their own kind of
Starting point is 00:49:33 perception of themselves. I care about the truth over anything. And I think that's pretty clear seeing as how I, you know, I do things that probably are, I don't know, I'm just myself. And sometimes that can be embarrassing, I guess. Sometimes it can be ridiculous, but I don't care because I am who I am. And I'm going to own that. And the point is that I care more about being correct and the accuracy than how I'm perceived. Now here is Ben Shapiro. Ben Shapiro versus Ben Shapiro on free speech for college campuses. You guys know this. Here's one of many. I'll show you at least two examples. It's just hard to watch because the whole young Ben Shapiro was all out there talking about how there is no compromise,
Starting point is 00:50:07 and apparently now he found a compromise. Let me suggest that as a legislature, your chief job is to ensure that my taxpayer dollars in this state go toward making sure that people like me and people who might disagree get to speak in places like college campuses and not toward regulating what speech you find good and what speech you find bad because it's a really dangerous business. and their speech I don't like, their speech you don't like. But if we can't agree
Starting point is 00:50:31 that there is a difference between speech and violence, we're not going to be able to have a free state, let alone a free country. Wow. Well, I agree with you, Ben Shapiro of, I don't know, 2016. Democrats put out a tweet yesterday saying, free Mahmoud Khalil.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I noticed they didn't have a similar tweet saying, free Idon Alexander, the actual American. You see how dumb that is, though? So what's your point? Do they're only, they have to care about what you care about, otherwise they're not allowed to make their argument? In reverse, Ben Shapiro, I didn't see you put out a tweet saying Freemachwin-Kaleel, so you're just as hypocritical, right?
Starting point is 00:51:02 No, because that's not the appropriate. See, you're just doing the same thing. It's, I think Ben is smart enough to understand that he's being intellectually dishonest. That's far more concerning to me than just being incorrect and not realizing that you're being hypocritical. This is a man who I believe is very conscious of how dishonest he's being and is doing it anyway. I think that's pretty easy to see. American hostage still being held by Hamas in terror tunnels. Terror tunnels. How'd that work out? All the lies they spun.
Starting point is 00:51:33 And you know, it's insane to me how these people still have audiences. And that go for it. Seriously, it's all you. And we all know, by the way, that if this person had been on campus, handing out as an immigrant, handing out Ku Klux Klan flyers, that person would be deported and it won't be anybody batting an eye. Okay, same point. Doesn't care. It doesn't matter what side you're taking, that would also be a violation of free speed. Like, do you're realize how many times the Supreme Court has stood in the fed. I mean, even the ADL for crying out loud, even though I argue that was, you know, well, it's a whole, that's a whole topic. We've gone over the idea of the ADL faking Nazi marches. It's the documented fact, by the way. But the idea that it's been roundly upheld that the Nazis could march X, Y, and Z because they have a right to free speech or, or, you know, white supremacist or whatever. I think it was more so the KKK.
Starting point is 00:52:18 The point is, and there are documented examples of that, it doesn't change the point. Free speech. It's about things that you hate or it look is the classic statement. But what was that from that again? Well, basically the idea that I don't, you know, no, now I'm forgetting it. How's it go? Yeah, anyway, the idea that simply doesn't matter how bad it is, like I'll fight for it, right? Like it's not about how extreme the speech is. I'll still fight to the death to defend it or whatever the old saying it.
Starting point is 00:52:44 And I think that's really important to think about because what he's demonstrating here is the exact opposite. That now there are limits. And my opinion, because that's now what the government wants. And that's either because he's influenced by their agenda or because he's a part of that. You can decide for yourself. Here's another clip. And this one's even better about the kind of contrast of the statements. And we've been seeing these massive marches all over the United States in favor of Hamas.
Starting point is 00:53:06 If that doesn't scare the hell out of Jews, I'm not sure exactly what will. These campuses, which are supposed places of safety and openness and diversity, well, when it comes to Jewish students feeling, you know, just a little threatened by people who are now defending mass murder of Jews. And then, of course, there's nothing to be done. Are these people who are mass murder of Jews? Who's defending that? Who are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:53:26 Like this illusory discussion where you're talking about anyone that supports a group fighting for their, you know, self-determination and freedom against an occupying force, which is the reality no matter how much you cries about it. You could document it a thousand times over every human rights group, the UN. So most people in that conversation were taking a principled stance by saying, I'm not saying I defend everything that group's ever done, especially since you can prove that Israel had funded them in the past.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Oops. But the point is that they have a right regardless of that. to fight for their self-determination, right? The legal right of armed resistance for an occupied territory. It's international law, guys. But so apparently he says if you support that in a principled sense because Hamas is doing it, then therefore you hate Jews. You know, perfectly logical, guys.
Starting point is 00:54:07 One, two, and three, right? God, how stupid this is. Who are marching in favor of Hamas that you would want working for your company? On campuses across the nation, Jews have been surrounded. Jews are being threatened all over the world, but we've got to make sure that the people who join the threats, those are the people who are protected. If they are not citizens and they support Hamas, they should be deported,
Starting point is 00:54:23 these folks don't think like you. They don't think like you. In the United Kingdom, Jewish students are now afraid to go to class. I know, I know. You are in your dorm and you're ensconced there and you feel so comfortable with all your friends. You tell you that you're just a great person and all your beliefs are exactly right. The last thing you want is somebody invading your campus and saying things that you disagree with because that's just tyrannical and awful.
Starting point is 00:54:48 You shouldn't have to feel like you're wrong. every should always feel like you're right. Well, toughen up, sweetheart. Bottom line is that it's time for you to learn that there are lots of differing opinions. Discussion is good for you. It makes your views stronger. It makes your views more durable.
Starting point is 00:55:06 It is that exchange of ideas that actually makes an intellectual community worth having. If you're not willing to engage in that intellectual community, you're in the wrong place. If you want a safe space, we can find a pad itself for you somewhere. If you want life to just be a giant teddy bear, go back to being a child. But if you want to be an adult in the United States of America, you're going to have to deal
Starting point is 00:55:25 with the fact that there are people who disagree, and that's a good thing to discuss. There are only one group of people that want safe spaces, so that they never have to hear from anybody of a different ideology or political persuasion. Those people are called fascists. Okay, you've got a bunch of fascists, damn fascists on this campus who are trying to shut down political debate and trying to cloister themselves in this little cocoon of stupidity. So they don't have to debate anyone or think about issues outside the campus. their kin so that they can feel comfortable.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Guess what? Life isn't about feeling comfortable. Life is about bettering yourself. Get off your ass, you stupid pansies. Excuse me. I forgot that was there. But, I mean, how do you ignore something like that? Excuse me for the cursing part of that clip.
Starting point is 00:56:13 I forgot that was there. It is a family-friendly show. It's just so objectively clear, guys. I mean, the statements don't apply to only certain topics. So do you believe he doesn't realize what he's doing? I find that impossible to believe. Now, you could argue that he's evolved as opinion. That's fair.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Like, that does happen. That's not what he's saying, though. None of them have argued they suddenly believe in limited speech. So that's what the important part is. It's bigger. It is a large deception. And my gut tells me it's because these people are caught up in what this larger agenda is. You know, they're part of this apparatus at this point.
Starting point is 00:56:49 And I'm not saying they're willingly aware of that or, you know, some of them may be. I'm not defining that. I never will because I'm not going to say I can prove any of that. The point is that I think this media thing today, independent, new media, I think most of this is in a large way disingenuous. And I think a large part of what I would say is disingenuous, don't even realize that they're being played. That's how I would look at that.
Starting point is 00:57:08 So I'm never going to argue that I know this is a shill or that's a, it's just wasting your time. It's about content, facts, verification, due diligence. People who say it matter. But if you do your due diligence on the information, it's ultimately irrelevant, guys. You can find it for yourself. But as Derek points out, those of us actually trying to do that, you're now being called a shill
Starting point is 00:57:26 by the very government and the right who told you they were fired at the deep state. New talking points have arrived. Anyone who is opposing U.S. foreign intervention must be funded by foreign operatives as part of influencer Psiops. Pay no attention to the APEC-funded Luna, who's what she is here. She's been at op since the beginning, he says. Semi-attractive Latina goes on Rogan to talk about aliens and sounds hip and cool when shoveling the same establishment BS down your throat.
Starting point is 00:57:50 The point is she's saying confirm that we've all suspected. Foreign governments are actively using disinformation campaigns and influencers sciops to undermine our foreign influence. So what they're really saying is everyone does that. We do it more than anyone in the world. So why not use that narrative to shut down people who are calling out that we're doing those things around the world? I don't think they actually care, like in the sense of like us. Like, let's put it this way.
Starting point is 00:58:12 If there's a podcaster out there or whatever else and somebody is being like pay, I mean, I don't know. It's hard to say that I don't, what I was going to say is that I don't. think the government would truly care if like Russia is funding a podcaster who's saying certain things at a core point. I think it's more about the actual kinetic action in a sense. But my point is I take it back only because I do know that there's, you know, in intelligence dynamic where they would care if it was more like somebody with clearance, higher level. But an average podcaster on YouTube, that's what I'm trying to say. Think about that.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Do you really think that they can't? I mean, it's hard to say. I could be wrong. My point wasn't even about that, but rather that at a higher level. This is about them pretending to care about it, which is why I was saying that, and using the narrative to go after people who aren't doing that. People who are calling out accurate points about why what they're doing is wrong. And simply going, don't listen to Ryan and Derek, they're being funded by China or Iran or Rush or whatever it is. Despite, aside from the easily verifiable reality that both of us are entirely people funded. That's why we do that, by the way. And that's what we were just talking about yesterday. But anyway, I do, I mean, as much as I kind of
Starting point is 00:59:20 waffle that point. It's worth thinking about, you know, do you think they truly care if this is even bigger, like the fact that we, like Israel, for example, that's actually the better way to look at it. We can all see that Israel is funding propagandists that are doing things that are very much against even Trump's agenda. They don't do anything about that. Now, maybe it was more at more of a adversely, they are adversarial, but like a perceived adversarial nation, maybe they would. But I don't know. It's worth thinking about because I'm more of the mind that it comes down to something bigger than that. And here we are. They're trying to turn this against the honest people in the conversation to stop us from calling out what they're doing. And look, they call them left-wing radical loons.
Starting point is 00:59:58 They must be a part of Antifa, right? That's not even about that, guys, because most of the people that are actually part of that apparatus are on the side of the government, in my opinion, whether they know it or not. So this is about using these arguments to go after people who are actually breaking down the information. And let's continue to demonstrate why. In our show yesterday, the new National Defense Authorization Act, and this is what I should have added today if I had space, further integrates U.S. and Israeli militaries. And the ongoing Axios Iran war deception, which is just this catastrophically stupid thing. They just continually lie and continual, and even the last one of them cussing each other out.
Starting point is 01:00:36 It appears to be completely false, like we discussed yesterday, appears that they were angry about their inconsistent social media posts and not at all about the fact that he was going, ah, you luna tick. that's Axios lying for Israel and the U.S. agenda like it's been doing the entire time, and we're still where we are before. But before we get to a couple points in Iran, this gets, it's important to add the Senate, uh, I forget the name of the top of my head, it's right here. The Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2007, also the 119th Congress. Now, this is a Wired Magazine was talking about this, or at least Daniel from Wired magazine,
Starting point is 01:01:12 buried within the Senate Intelligence Authorization Act, and we'll show it. you is a provision to increase intelligence sharing with Israel and impede the president's ability, or rather anybody's ability, to stop it in the future, what it is. Now, I really want to reiterate that this is, most of this stuff is only a growth of the problem, not a new thing. So if it's stopped, the problem still exists. This is sort of like, you know, when they re-init, you know, Pat proposed legislation to like reestablish the motto of the country. It's like, you could find like 17 versions of that over the last 20 years. It's, it's about the point of it, not necessarily that it's changing anything. Now, this is a big deal, and it does
Starting point is 01:01:49 change things. But my point in saying that is this is a continuation of it, and it's only getting bigger. And part of me worries, this is all about stopping this so people think it's not happening at all. I would say 10%, not where I'm leaning. But there is a consideration there. So watch this show if you want to catch up on the parts from yesterday, but we'll briefly go over most of it now. This is the HR 880-National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2027. Now, we went over this yesterday. It's 2-24. I think I can just grab it real quick. I'm not going to read it all again today. Oh, wait, no, I'll do this one. Hold on. Right here. United States, Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. So it says technology, but it goes quite
Starting point is 01:02:32 beyond that. Biotech, which I guess is still technology, but specifically, you know, AI, and it's just deeper than what it might sound like. And it's very military focused. But it's bigger when you really get into like the, I guess, tangential industries around all of this. It's just a major, major collaboration. And again, I would even go as take a step further than what I just said and argue this is sort of outlining what's already going on. But read that if you want. The point that we need to make on this is that the plan itself that was outlined,
Starting point is 01:03:04 we talked about this yesterday, was Netanyahu's plan. I mean, Marjorie Chilogreen and plenty of others posted the actual statement from Netanyahu. This, and by the way, this is not disputed. This is what, this is being discussed publicly. Netanyahu wrote directly to them and said, thank you for endorsing my plan and outlines how clear it is that this was his idea. Why? Because, and by the way, you watched on this show where we talked about, I think a couple,
Starting point is 01:03:30 maybe a month ago where he was floating this idea. Netanyahu was going, I want to get away from the A and get to partnership. Well, here we are. Apparently Netanyahu has an idea and our government jumps. How high, they say. How high can we jump for you, Mr. Netanyahu? and they do whatever they're asked. I mean, how do we not see that right now?
Starting point is 01:03:45 Representative Marlon Stoisman, who's the person who is pushing this, Israel is ready to move away from the 3.8 billion yearly aid. No, they're not, guys. All this does open the door to an unaccountable, much larger version of that. That's what it is. I mean, this was broken down by what we discussed yesterday, went over not just the obvious reading of the document that makes that clear,
Starting point is 01:04:05 but plenty of other political perspectives that highlight why that's going to be the case. for political commentary, people that have been doing this for a living are saying, look, this is going to open the door to something that's far worse. And it says, my new resolution encourages the adoption of a new way forward. All they're trying to do is sell you on something as a change when it's just the establishment of the same problem. They do this all the time, as Ron Paul used to point out, I mean, still does. Incessantly, we're in a good way.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Like War Powers Act, for example, or the Smith-Mont Militization Act or the Patriot, these are things that are simply going, look, we'll solve that problem by enshrining the problem as legal. FISA. You know, it's like, that's what they always do. So here we go. As they're going to sell you on a change when all they're doing is cementing the problem behind the closed doors. Now, as we talked about yesterday, this is also the 119th Congress, but this is a different one, guys. This is the United States Israel Defense Partnership Act of 2025. So the new one is simply the Intelligence Authorization Act of fiscal 2027. Intelligence Authorization versus the Israel
Starting point is 01:05:06 Defense Partnership Act. Now, if you read through this, it's very clear. And this is from 2025. The bill requires or authorizes certain actions to decrease defense-related cooperation between the U.S. and Israel. So see, it's the same thing they're just doing more of now. And this is, you can go back before this Congress. It's the same problem. Now, we went over this yesterday,
Starting point is 01:05:26 but it's establishing a cooperative program with the concurrence of Israeli military defense to develop, deploy advanced technologies, countering unmanned systems. And it gets into the integration, right? the ascension of Israel into the national technology and industrial base. How is that even possible in what we know Israel is doing in the world? What they brag about in the world.
Starting point is 01:05:48 The pager attack. I mean, whatever. They're known. They're the leading entity in the world when it comes to spyware and that kind of technology. They've been caught spying on every administration, including Trump, both times. But yeah, let's welcome in the door. It's insane. That's the point.
Starting point is 01:06:03 I don't think it's even a choice right now. This is HR 8445. 118th Congress from 2024 to a man and this to sum this up it it treats IDF as if they're U.S. military and it's literally what it says specifically the bill requires the service of such citizens to be regarded in the same manner as the service in the U.S. military the IDF so what we're talking about is Israeli defense forces yeah you might not care oh well there's an overlap our greatest partner. Well, one step at a time, they have already been doing this. That's what I hope people see, you know, whoever it is, the show out there allowed to get all the reach and discussions
Starting point is 01:06:46 and invited all the service. You talk about this. Get everyone to see it. That's all we really care about. So the point continuing is that Wired highlights this new discussion from Section 622. So let's go over that. It's Senate Bill 4615. Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2027. Now, as always, plenty in here you should care about. There's a lot of. There's a lot of lot to read and it's all a bunch of you know kind of legally nonsensical writing as usual and it's hard they corbitts always pointed out each one of them reference back to some old document within that reference back to an old amendment and if you really want to understand it you have to like read through the old it's it's it's deliberately like that oh maybe refreshed on me let me see oh here it is okay
Starting point is 01:07:27 united states israel intelligence sharing enhancement see it's an enhancement it's not new It is the policy of the United States. It reads, to maintain, here, let me just do this. It's probably easier. No, that's fuzzy. To maintain and strengthen the strategic security partnership with Israel as a means of advancing the national defense of the United States, regional stability, and the protection of the United States personnel and in Middle East. Okay, so explain for me why any of that makes sense with a group who has done none of that, right?
Starting point is 01:08:01 You're further in, you know, fusing with. with a group who has hurt the national defense of the U.S. government. The government and the people, by the way, who is objectively, like an obvious, verifiable way, hurt regional stability, hurt the protection of the United States and personnel within it. But you see, they don't care about that because they don't care about you. The end of the day, you can keep seeing every one of these wars, the Americans that have been killed so far in the war that Trump said wouldn't happen. In the war, they said wouldn't kill Americans.
Starting point is 01:08:31 And the war they said, Israel will be helping. Nope. Netanyahu said in the beginning, it's your war. It's the U.S. war while he dictates the actions and puts American lives at risk. And now you've got Democrats saying, well, Americans have died. We can't just leave. And there you go. Every single time that happens.
Starting point is 01:08:45 The mission creep of it all. We got to get there uranium because Americans have died. Oh, so now you're using the people that you put there to kill that you told us weren't going to happen to justify why it has to keep going. That's always what happens. And it's left and right. We'll come back then a second. My point here, guys, is none of this adds up with what the reality is. to enhance intelligence collaboration through robust intelligence sharing and analytic partnership
Starting point is 01:09:07 with Israel. So what this amounts to is what they've always been stealing and infiltrating. Now they just get handed. With Israel to counterterrorism, proliferation networks, cyber threats, which are usually them, it seems, and state and non-state aggressors, terror financing, sanction evasion, and other transnational security challenges that threaten both Israel and United States. to deter and counter destabilizing activities by the government of Iran. And of course, I forgot to tell you, this is written by Tom Cotton, that probably will show you why it's so obvious. So again, it says the policy of the United States is to deter and counter the destabilizing activities of Iran.
Starting point is 01:09:43 And Iran aligned state and non-state actors that threaten Israel in the United States. So you're literally enshrining in a bill about collaboration with Israel that we just have to fight Iran. Don't you find that strange? Why would you have to write down that it's our policy to, stop Iran from being. That's it. It's crazy, guys. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:10:02 It's belligerent. To ensure that security assistance and defense cooperation are structured to help Israel maintain its qualitative military edge. Consistent with U.S. law. Oh, wait. Did I miss the part where it said both? Is that funny? To ensure, it is our policy to ensure that this assistance is structured to help Israel maintain its
Starting point is 01:10:26 edge. That's it. So I'm sure glad the U.S. government is making this happen so we can help Israel maintain what it needs. Is that America first? Clearly, according to the fake MAGA movement. And it says to encourage and support expansion of regional security architectures that include Israel, a focus on integrated air and defense missile, maritime security, early warning systems, and intelligence sharing frameworks, an expansion of regional security architects that include Israel.
Starting point is 01:10:53 It goes on to say, number six, to leverage security, coordination with Israel to enhance force protection, early warning, and crisis response capabilities for the United States military and diplomatic personnel in the region. In the sense of Congress, it is the sense of Congress that, and this is what Tom Cotton is arguing, which they all seem to back up every time, no matter what they say publicly, it is the sense of Congress that Israel remains a critical United States security partner whose defense and intelligence capabilities provide a strategic advantage that contributes to enhanced operational effectiveness. Now, hypothetically, if you're a U.S. government that recognizes that you're infiltrated by a very technologically
Starting point is 01:11:33 manipulative entity that will bring you down your knees if you try to stop them. Well, you simply integrate it into the system, right? It is that Israel is the most important defense. It clearly is, the idea is that if they're not there with their technological manipulation that you will cease to exist or whatever you want to frame it as. That's just one way to look at it or these people are bought off by their lobbying. I mean, there's simple ways to look at it. I mean, there's simple ways to look at it, but I think it's important to realize the point about the infiltration and the tech, the idea of the pager attack, the idea of Netanyahu sitting in front of 250 members of Congress and saying, you have phones in your pocket, that was made in Israel.
Starting point is 01:12:07 In a middle of the conversation, that has nothing to do with any of that. I mean, literally talking about people, I mean, I forgot the exact statement, but it was something that was discussing what he said in my mind suggested that it was about threats. You could disagree. People do. overall, I think it's obvious to recognize that we're dealing with people that are aware that things like the Samson option, a group of Israeli government personnel that think that they're being guided by some, you know, Armageddon prophecy. And you don't think that's going to drive irrational action? At the end of the day, making sure that they're intertwined with you might be the solution to that in their mind.
Starting point is 01:12:46 Timely and actionable intelligence sharing between the United States and Israel has saved United States personnel and property. Has it? In my opinion, all of their false intelligence has led to what's killed Americans. And it should remain a central pillar of our security relationship. The evolving threat environment in the Middle East, meaning what they're doing in the Middle East, them, including missile proliferation, unmanned systems, cyber operations, terror financing, and proxy warfare. So they're trying to make it about Iran, but that's what they are doing, requires sustained and adaptive cooperation between the U.S. and Israel.
Starting point is 01:13:17 So Tom Cotton is making sure he outlines in multiple bullet points that we have to keep fighting Iran. she missed that. United States, Israel Security Partnership has historically benefited from bipartisan support. Yeah, meaning that despite what Americans think, our government, all sides of it, blindly supports the genocidal Israel State, which strengthens the partnership's credibility, durability, and deterrent, does it? It is the most hated government in the world, and somehow by working with them, it strengthens your credibility. Work that one out. Expanding normalization and practical security cooperation between Israel and regional states can serve as a force multiplier for collective deterrence and integrated defense.
Starting point is 01:13:52 take that for everybody, whatever you will. Intelligence sharing with Israel. The president acting through the director of national intelligence, you know, the one that just got pushed out is what really happened. And as necessary through Secretary of Defense, shall subject to applicable law. Of course, that guides them, right? And the protection of intelligence sources and methods expand
Starting point is 01:14:14 and enhance intelligence sharing with the government of Israel. I mean, they've said that like 11 different ways in the same document, by the way. But so what we're saying is the Director of National Intelligence is not supposed to be completely controlled. Well, no, I mean, I take it back. It's complicated. But the end of the day, Director of National Intelligence, through the president is what he's saying. So basically the president's doing this. That's Director of National Intelligence will operate this continued sharing of intelligence with Israel.
Starting point is 01:14:40 I find it very relevant that Tulsi Gabbard was pushed out before this. You could even make the argument that maybe part of this is why that happened. Like maybe she had an issue with this as the Director of National Intelligence. going, oh, let's read more, and you'll see what I mean. And it goes on to say scope of sharing. Intelligence sharing carried out under this subsection shall include the sharing of information relating to cybersecurity threats, terrorism, sanctions evasion, plans and intentions of state and non-state actors, adversarial technology proliferation, missile threats,
Starting point is 01:15:10 unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, air and space domain awareness, and other aerial threats relevant to the defense of Israel, United States, forces, and interest in the region. So again, the idea that you are going to take a group that has been infiltrating tech around the world and give them open access to every aspect of our defense seems stupid. Simply put, intelligence sharing and related security information exchanges with the government of Israel shall not be suspended, reduced, or otherwise material limited except on the basis of a specific and identifiable national security concern turned by the president. So for whatever reason, the person up there in the post I showed you earlier made it sound like to stop the president from changing something. And I think there's a reason they need to make it sound like Trump's not a part of this. It seems desperate to me.
Starting point is 01:15:57 The truth is, what it says is that the president is the one who gets to decide whether or not this continues. And so what ultimately happens is, you're setting a tone that says that no matter what Congress believes, no matter what Americans think, no matter how bad this is, nobody can stop this unless Trump says so or whoever. is the president. Why does that sound like anything that's ever connected? That's not what we pretend this country is. It sure as hell is what it is, but it's not we pretend this country is, and it's important to see that. That you're opening a door to something that is wildly alarming, not what Americans want, and writing in the bill that you can't stop it even if you want to, unless Trump says. Intelligence sharing related security information exchanges, which encapsulates everything in this document with the governor of Israel shall not be suspended. And it simply says,
Starting point is 01:16:45 or limited or stop unless the specific identifiable national security concern. Seems insane to me. And it says the president shall document, but, and this is even crazier, guys. So not only can you not stop it unless he decides it's enough of a concern. On top of that, if you try to stop it, the president will document any determination to suspend, reduce, or otherwise materially, I can't say it for some reason, materially limit intelligence sharing or related security information exchanges with the government of Israel. in the world would you need to document like make sure we write down why and how and what you
Starting point is 01:17:19 tried to do and make sure that's the record it says not later than 15 days after the date of any decision to change this to increase suspend reduce or otherwise alter this agreement with the government of Israel the president shall notify the congressional intelligence committees of this decision here are the elements of which he'll have to do each notification required by subparagraph a shall include the following a description of the change in intelligent sharing or security information exchange, in a sense, meaning reducing what they're giving is real. The categories of information effective. The national security objectives served by the change in the case of suspension or reduction,
Starting point is 01:17:54 the specific national security concern supporting the change. Number five, an assessment of the anticipated impact on regional security, the United States forces, and integrated air missile defense cooperation. Instead of just going, we don't like this anymore. We don't agree with this group. Like in the past, we are, the way this is always gone is that weapons go to Israel. They'll do it anyway, but they pretend that it's a process. We vote on it.
Starting point is 01:18:19 It's public and people always get mad about it. That's why they're putting it behind closed doors, acting like we're not doing that anymore when they clearly are. This simply opens like another stage of that where if we catch wind of what they're doing, too bad, the law says we can't stop it. That's what I'm always trying to show you is that the law, they're creating this as if it helps you when all it does is hinder your ability to do anything about it. Interoperability among technology networks of the United States and Israel.
Starting point is 01:18:45 Interoperability, something Hevorhe and I just talked about, him, and David wrote about in his book. This is about the idea of all of the bigger point, which we're not going to get into today. I didn't start with that, by the way. I put it off until tomorrow just because I wanted to talk about some of this, but we're going to get into the AI tech data center point, which has been talking about a lot. And this is an overlap with that. Because that's what this really means. When you see interoperability, you see these conversations and the leading groups in the world who are pushing this agenda, it's,
Starting point is 01:19:14 this is the growing globalist kind of change we're watching, guys. Now, here is the drop site news account posting about the discussion in Congress about this. And I just want to play the beginning of it, what Rokana says, and then some of the people responding. As they write, the House voted today on a new measure to fuse, this was the fourth, fuse elements of the Israeli and U.S. militaries. particularly on the cyber weapons front. Section 224, as we showed you yesterday, and we briefly pointed to today, as it's known,
Starting point is 01:19:49 is included in the National Defense Authorization Act. Representative Rocana introduced an amendment to strip it from the bill. Watch as a stream of Republicans and Democrats stand up in support of the enhanced cooperation. Surprise, surprise. Now, what I want to point out, guys, is that's why I do this. We showed you three other pieces of legislation. all of it that basically create a lesser degree of the same problem and not even create add to what's already there so let's say they removed 224 rocana and massier heroes they stop one part of
Starting point is 01:20:24 something is still happening i would i would still argue they did a great thing i'm glad they did it i think it's worthy of praise but if it ends up being that stopped it and we're moving on i'll be suspicious that it was part of a ploy we should pay attention to that i just think that's important and This is what I'm saying. I don't, who else is talking about this stuff? In this way. There's plenty of people out there. Even people that I argue are genuine and honest who are simply still looking at it like,
Starting point is 01:20:49 we got to stop this one thing and then they're trying to take us over. We got to pull back our scope. Understand that this is a multi-layered constant. There's always multi-layered agendas. There's always more to the story because it's never just the one thing that's in front of you today, guys. And we got to look at it like that. Oh, yeah, I want to play this clip first.
Starting point is 01:21:07 We'll now consider log number 6827 by Mr. Kana of California. For what purpose is the gentleman from California seek recognition? Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk. We'll clerk distribute the amendment without objection reading amendments dispensed with. The chair recognizes the gentleman for the purpose of explaining his amendment. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the American people are tired of the arrogance and insolence of Prime Minister Netanyahu telling America what we should do.
Starting point is 01:21:45 The entire country of Israel has a GDP that is less than a single town in my district. Yet somehow Netanyahu thinks he could tell the American people what we should do. The person who's most upset with him right now is President Donald Trump. And that is one of the reasons why I doubt this, guys. I don't believe me. I mean, I do argue that there's some kind of friction there. And I think it's honestly based entirely on the fact that Trump is deviating from what they were doing because he feels like he's being seen for the, he's failing and we see that. But do I believe that they're truly at odds?
Starting point is 01:22:19 I really don't. And I think that's consistently shown at the very least, if he was, he's not able to do anything about it because he's, you know, blackmailed or whatever else. That's not even what I think, honestly. I think there's more coordination than anything. My point would be whatever the reason is, I think you can see just by the consistency of what they've been doing that he's chosen to be on that side. And this, I mean, he's probably referencing the Axios report, which, by the way, was false. Even the Israeli media demonstrated that that was incorrect, that his own internal people demonstrated that that's not what actually was said.
Starting point is 01:22:48 And of course, bureaucracy lied about it because it clearly was what Trump seemed to want us to think. That's what I believe. But either way, it's not about him, him claiming Trump's upset about it. It's about the idea of trying to stop this. And everyone in America, whether you're a Republican, an independent, or a Democrat, says that we need to tell Netanyahu that America calls the shots, not the prime minister of any other country. They want less cooperation and blank checks to Israel, not more. Only the United States Congress would dream up at this moment.
Starting point is 01:23:25 Let's actually do more for Israel, not less. And that's what Section 2024 does. It's a pretty simple thing. Should we do more for Israel than we already do? Or should we do less? If you think we should do more for Israel, you should be against my amendment. If you think we should do less for Israel at the time that he's arrogantly telling Donald Trump what to do, then you should be for my amendment.
Starting point is 01:23:48 Now let me just be clear. Mr. Netanyahu actually wrote to the member of Congress to put this section 224 into the bill. He says, I know that aid is unpopular in America. I know that even Republicans don't want aid. So here's what you got to do. Quote, let's create a new. framework, this is Netanyahu telling us what we should do, a new framework of joint defense cooperation, co-development, co-production, and mutual investment in areas including advanced missile
Starting point is 01:24:16 defense, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and next generation military platforms. Why? Because he doesn't want Congress to vote on the aid. He just wants it fused in the bill. Yep. Last I checked, Netanyahu doesn't have a seat on this committee, Mr. Chairman. We need to reject an amendment which is language is coming directly from the Israeli Prime Minister and we ought to have any aid have a vote of the American people. I am for Team America. I am for the interest of this country and I believe that when Donald Trump ran, he ran America first. That includes American interests against any foreign country. We should have
Starting point is 01:24:54 American sovereignty and make it clear that we strike two to for if we want to give aid to Israel, if we want to sell them weapons, that should be a vote for the entire Congress. I mean, it's hard. I go back and forth on this person. I don't trust any of them. I think he just screams that he's just taking advantage of a situation. He's a political player, you know? Like, are you going to pretend like Trump's doing that?
Starting point is 01:25:16 I mean, that just seems silly. But it works because he's playing this sort of like, I'm the Democrat, but I'm siding with the fight. He's doing what Massey's doing in reverse, right? And it's, who knows? Maybe you can think it's genuine. Maybe we, you know, I still questioning about Massey. I don't know. I question all of them.
Starting point is 01:25:30 And it's going to be very, like I've said, a thousand times. It's going to take a hell of a long time of consistency. for me even to ever think that's possible. Just because of how jaded I am and the constant history of showing us politicians always fail us. But what's interesting here is that he is calling this out. When's the last time you heard that stated in Congress?
Starting point is 01:25:47 Never, as far as I've concerned. I've never heard that stated. The idea that one, that Netanyahu is in, like, publicly controlling or at the very least influencing something that's being put forward in policy. Guys, that's exactly what we've been saying. Like what I've been telling you about influence, policy, that's exactly what just happened. And I'm still called racist for saying that.
Starting point is 01:26:09 So it's interesting, isn't it? Now, it could be that this is, we're changing this. What we're all doing is changing this and forcing people like him to have to acknowledge it. You know, it doesn't always have to be, you know, jaded, I guess there's another word for that. You know, at the end of the day, maybe he's doing it because he cares. We should, we should hope for that, shouldn't we? I find it hard to believe, just be based on what we've seen, but we should hope for that. We shouldn't. out a reality in which the good thing happens that we all want to happen or, you know, the idea that suddenly they all start fighting for you. Isn't that what we pretend we would want? Then at least me eventually go to a place with none of them existing. Yes, yes, that is what I'd want.
Starting point is 01:26:46 Anyway, continuing, the point is he just called out the obvious problem. Now, pretty much everybody after him goes on to say why Israel is important and why we need to go to collaboration and we got to support Israel for 20 minutes. Time that he's 224 into the bill. Security and next. Which is kind of that when 224 programs and give aid to Israel, if we want to sell them weapons, that should be a vote for the entire Congress. Obviously. Gentleman yields back.
Starting point is 01:27:17 Chair recognizes himself. Israel is our closest ally in the Middle East and our cooperative programs enhance U.S. national security by giving our warfighters access to cutting-edge technologies. Section 224 doesn't create any new programs within the Department of Defense. It simply designates a single senior official to create. coordinate existing initiatives. Section 224 actually improves oversight and accountability of these programs. So shockingly false, by the way. Like, I don't know whether this guy realizes he's lying or not. Half his people are too dumb to tie their shoes without help. My point, though, is that you can
Starting point is 01:27:51 easily prove that's not true. You can read this for yourself. You can look at pretty much every political analyst out there that's done this, not that you should trust any of them, but recognize that it's very common. The general acceptance of this is that it will open the door to two very, two very dishonest entities, left or right, by the way, to completely continue to do what they're already doing that nobody supports. Like ask yourself, why in the world it would go away from that? I mean, guys, not only is this beneficial for their military agenda, they're all wildly profiting from this continued situation. I don't believe, that's why I think why people like this want this to continue. That's my opinion. I'm not speaking it specifically about the guy in the
Starting point is 01:28:28 blue suit. I'm just saying that as a congressional or other government perspective, that the status quo benefits them, guys. We know that. So I just insane for him to say that it doesn't create any, that there's more oversight somehow. Now that you have one person deciding whether they get to do, you know, be completely collaborative. Like look at the end of the day,
Starting point is 01:28:46 what we're talking about is if we're going to be buying weapons and so on, as you just heard, well, that's going to include Israel. And like they can be, ultimately we can discuss the idea. Now I'm not going to say I know how that's going to go, whether or not it's, you know, end of the day, if what we believe is that this country, which we can clearly hear them all saying, want to keep giving weapons and support to Israel,
Starting point is 01:29:04 why would they then push us to a direction where none of that happens anymore? I mean, this is the basic deductive logic, guys. They keep telling you, we got to support Israel, we got to fund them, or we're all going to be killed by Muslims everywhere or whatever they're all pushing. But then go, but now we don't need to do it anymore
Starting point is 01:29:18 because they're good and they've got enough money. How do both those things exist in the same conversation because people are being blinded by partisan politics? A designating a single official responsible for them claims that this provision somehow cedes authority to a foreign government are simply ridiculous. I urge all members to oppose the amendment. By the way, I didn't hear him say seeding authority entirely. He simply said that it's fusing parts of the milk, which is what it's doing, by definition of what you can read there.
Starting point is 01:29:48 But yeah, because these people have an interest in this. Mr. Rogers here. And Mr. Smith, the ranking members recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm actually very sympathetic with some aspects of the. the remarks of Mr. Kana about the frustration we have with Netanyahu's leadership in Israel. We have endless wars now in Gaza, in the West Bank, for that matter, in Lebanon. No effort to negotiate, no effort to find partners for peace amongst the Palestinians or the Lebanese, even where
Starting point is 01:30:16 there are opportunities to do that. Mr. Netanyahu insisted on this war with Iran that has strengthened Iran and weakened our position. I do not like his leadership of Israel or where he is going but the way but as always what a nice starting statement but as the saying goes everything said before the word but is meaningless at the end of the day guys you know where this video goes it goes on for 20 minutes with basically everybody in the room talking about well you know illegal wars and you know dangerous things and infiltration and you know bombing countries for with illegal actions but but israel's our most important ally and we have to support israel because it's what they do how can you possibly some of the most egregious international crimes in his and then go, but that's what they do.
Starting point is 01:31:03 But the point, Rokana. Not the only point, the next point to be made is that Rokana does have 161,000 according to the APAC tracker of lobby money coming for Israel. So you could take that for what you will. I very much think it matters. I think lobbying is what basically guides the political system today, and lobbying is basically just a euphemism for other governments manipulating policy at this point. But overall, I believe it's very.
Starting point is 01:31:29 clear. Guys, the bigger picture here is that this is about trying to frame it as one thing and something else is happening. That is what politics is all really about. So hopefully you're getting the point when it comes down to the previous legislation where this goes. And yes, we should try to stop this, but we should try to stop the entire problem, not just what they're floating in front of us right now. Here, Representative, this is Rep. Stutzman, he's the one putting this forward, the one that was written to by Netanyahu saying, thank you for doing my plan. Here's what he says. This is today. After everything people have been saying, he says, this resolution and introduced marks a new era in our alliance with Israel. Above all, we stand
Starting point is 01:32:09 together against totalitarianism and for freedom as totalitarian governments. Clearly, you stand against totalitarianism. We are bound by these shared Western values that build both our nations. I mean, good God. I mean, there is literally couldn't be a larger chasm between the society of Israel and the society of the United States. And it's like, our shared values, example, unless you're talking about your shared values of genocide at the hop of the government, it's insane that they keep making that argument. But you see, it's not about facts, guys. Israel has come of age where our nation should be, Israel has come of age where our nation should contribute equally and share results equally. That's just, it's just such a flagrant lie. And who
Starting point is 01:32:49 knows whether this clown even knows he's wrong? I don't care at this point. It matters to me that it's happening and that we need to call it out. As Thomas Massey adds, this is from today. of course. So as this kind of stuff happens and people are started to become extremely, extremely aware, this is what you tend to get. Now, who's to say it's connected? I think it is, my opinion. He says Republicans, suddenly, after all this is happening, are passing a temporary rule. And it's just temporary right in the midst of this vote that changes that, a change that will force them to vote on legislation the same day it's introduced. And these are bills sometimes that have hundreds of pages. I mean, and they barely read them anyway, if not ever. And now you're
Starting point is 01:33:28 trying to force in a rule where they can run through things that pass in the same day, why would they do that? It says this shell game allows the Senate to jam the House with a spending bill, not even settled. Oh, you mean the things we're talking about? Yes, that would include that. I support broader security, but not this bastardized process. Now, the NDAA is a larger defense authorization bill, but it includes some of that.
Starting point is 01:33:51 But the ones we showed you, two of them were part of the spending discussion. But either way, it's about trying to create a situation where they're spending bill or not where they can force these things through when nobody paying attention. And watch on a day where they want something to fly through with nobody paying attention, they'll be shoving all sorts of Elon Musk's distractions in your face, like they're doing right now. Now, in regard to Israel and a bigger picture here, guys, I just think it's worthy continually to highlight that the world is changing its perspective, rightly so. And this is one example, but what I want to.
Starting point is 01:34:26 want people to continue to recognize as the countries around the world are starting to see what Israel is doing and starting to see what the U.S. has always been doing and are starting to call it out more and more and more. And what do they do? You're terrorists for protesting their crimes. Like Rubin and Ben Shapiro and all the fake free speech mag people are telling you. As Dr. Sam Yusuf points out, a nationwide general strike was organized in more than 75 cities across Italy, demanding a complete boycott of Israel and the severance of all ties. Now, whether or not you agree with the way they're doing this, the point is that people around the world are fed up and everybody sees it like we've been telling you.
Starting point is 01:35:05 You can disagree. I hope you'll at least look. Thomas Massey, again, showing this kind of evolution of the awareness of this stuff. Thomas Massey, as a very influential, I guess, former congressman, somebody who appears to be, I was going to get into that in next couple of days, maybe, about we'll see where it goes. he floated the idea of something happening in 2008, I guess we'll find out what that means. You know, the Marjorie-Tiller-Green,
Starting point is 01:35:27 Massey, presidential, I mean, who knows what they're going to try to do, guys. I mean, whether it's a, you know, could be another congressional seat, it could be another presidential run down the line. You know, it's all floated right now. But my point is somebody who is clearly influential on the political conversation. Put this out today.
Starting point is 01:35:43 On June 8th, 2026, he says, I'll speak on the floor of the House to honor and memorialize the brave crew of the U.S. liberty and who died, excuse me, and were wounded in an unprovoked attack by Israel. Yeah, it's easily proven, but that's a very contentious thing to say. That's what's crazy about it, right? You can easily prove this. And as I just posted the other day, in contrast to what Israel was lying about,
Starting point is 01:36:06 today on the U.S. Memorial Day, Israel stands with America. Such disgusting people. That's not true, by the way. They hate us, and you can see it in everything they do. I'm talking about the Israeli government. That's my opinion, anyway, on top of the fact that they've published. murdered Americans a lot of different times in history. And this one, this was USS Liberty.
Starting point is 01:36:23 Here is somebody who survived that attack. And we'll tell you to this very day that he knows Israel did it. By the way, on top of that, here was, this is Joe Meeters. You can watch the video for yourself. This was when he was taken while he was on a freedom pletilla. Joe Meeters was a signalman on the USS Liberty during the Israel attack in 67, killing 34 Americans. In 2018, he was illegally seized from international waters,
Starting point is 01:36:49 while on a peaceful freedom flotilla and was held for days without charge. Yeah, that's been happening a long time. I'm glad it's getting more attention. But realize it's been going on and they've been seizing them and hurting. They used to, people have gotten killed on these before. The U.S. government never said a word. He's an American citizen. He's a veteran.
Starting point is 01:37:05 They held him for days. Nobody said a word. The point is that he was from the U.S.'s liberty and pretty much everyone that I know that survived that is still alive, rather, has told people that that's what happened, and our government still lies to us about it. So Thomas Massey's going to stand up and tell us what happened. I think that's a good thing.
Starting point is 01:37:24 But we'll see how people react. The point is that the reality of the history, both of the founding of Israel, the illegal state that it is, all this stuff is starting to become undeniably seen. I'm glad. Now, getting into the conversation of Iran, I just find this interesting.
Starting point is 01:37:41 So while we're seeing all this, you've got this weird pivot. Like from people like Elon or the kind of fake Charlie Kirk side of this now, the Andrew Covlett fake turning point thing they're doing now that's completely for Israel, it seems, are doing their best to sort of drive this in a different direction. Now, in this case, you have this member of Congress, another politician who I don't support, who I think are all equally corrupt. And I shouldn't even, you know, there are obviously varying degrees of corrupt,
Starting point is 01:38:08 but I look all of them as part of a system that is inherently corrupt. That's what I mean when I say that. What I'm saying that for is so people don't assume that I support anybody in this conversation. you have Andrew Colblet coming out and calling out something that this exchange was about and making fun of her because Bacent tries to do one of these MAGA things they do, or rather I take it back, the fake MAG things, the things that Bondi and Noam all very, very clumsily did and they failed, which is sort of the, you know, pivoting to you didn't do this when you were in a position
Starting point is 01:38:36 when the conversation is about something completely different than that. Or Cash Patel says, well, when you did this, you didn't do that. Cash, I was asking about the Epstein files, right? It's like they just keep trying to pivot away from it because they know they're failing. In this case, she asked point blank about whether or not he cares that Americans are hurting because of the Iran war. His answer is to ask about whether you know who the president is in World War I. And apparently to laugh at her because she doesn't understand her history.
Starting point is 01:39:01 I'm only to bet you that 99% of the people in this conversation don't know who that president is. The idea that most people on left or right have no idea who that is off the top of her head. But we're going to pretend like it's somehow un-American of her to not know that off the top of her head. anyway, not even the point. The point is about trying to sidestep the obvious that Americans are struggling. From a war you said wouldn't happen. From gas prices you said wouldn't be this high. From food prices you swore we're already going down.
Starting point is 01:39:25 That's the point, guys. Biden and Trump are all doing the same thing if you understand how big this has always been, how long it's been happening. Let me play this clip for you and then make the point about Kyle Becker and the rest say down below, which is somehow that this person's not American, even though she was born in the United States. was... Recently, President Trump proudly claimed that he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation when it comes to the war with Iran.
Starting point is 01:39:53 So I want to ask you, Secretary Besson, do you agree with President Trump that you also do not care about Americans' financial situations? And in case you don't remember, Trump said it. As much as they want to make it some kind of out-of-contact statement, he was asked in point-blank. It was a simple question. Do you care that Americans are struggling with their financial situation? Or he said, do you consider, I think it was, do you consider that when your choices that America does suffer? He goes, no, I don't think about that.
Starting point is 01:40:20 I only think about whether Iran gets a nuke. How in the world you could pretend like that's taken out of context is what politics is, but the lies, deception. The truth is he said it very clearly. At the very least that he cares about your interest less than doing something Israel, Iran that's not based in reality. Congresswoman, who was the president during World War I? Can you? What a weird thing to do. do, right? I mean, and also what I sense from this is people like percent are being driven
Starting point is 01:40:51 to do this. Like, they're the kind of people you can tell by the way his demeanor is that they would have been the super professional decorum driven kind of person in the past administrations who are being driven by the people, the likes of the team of Trump to do stuff like this that makes them look out of their out of sorts, uncomfortable. Just my personal take on it. Watch. Congresswoman, who was the president during World War I? Can you? No, are you refusing to answer my question? No, I'm asking, who's the president during World War I? I don't know, but clearly you are not answering my question. So let me tell. I'm clearly getting the idea that you do not want to answer, whether you agree with President Trump, that you do not care about Americans' financial
Starting point is 01:41:35 situations. President Trump does care about Americans' financial situations. Well, he actually said that he doesn't. No, that is a truncated thing like every. Nope. Provably not. It's a simple question and a simple answer. And you could see both sides of the conversation. There was not something cut off. It was not part of a larger discussion.
Starting point is 01:41:52 But, you know, he can lie because that's all they have, I guess. And what's even crazier is that means somebody like that, who I know these people are always been dishonest, but the idea that they would present themselves, do something that they know you can easily prove as a lie is abnormal to me in the larger political game. And today, they do it every single day. Rubio sits there and goes, no, no, no. Jared Kushner works for free and he's got nothing benefiting him.
Starting point is 01:42:14 You can ease look that up and prove that's false. Everything they say seems to be a lie today and I guess that's all they have. But also note that he seems flustered and he's not good at like this, you know, forceful back and forth talking over each other game. He seems like he's out of his, like not, like that's not something he's comfortable with doing. But I think he's being driven to it. It's a small point. That's what I read in it.
Starting point is 01:42:34 I think that speaks to the weird way that this administration is conducting itself. But back to the point. Do you know who the president was, World War, it's like, It's a complete side step of the obvious question. President Trump does care about Americans' financial situation. Well, he actually said that he doesn't. No, that is a truncated thing like everything is. By the way, I'm glad to see that all of you in this chat seem to very much know that it was Wilson,
Starting point is 01:42:57 but I think that speaks to the intelligence level of our community, by the way. And I'm proud to point that out. That he is future-proofing because I can tell you, Americans' financial situations would be devastated if Iran got a nuclear weapon. Are you seriously making this your argument? So, again, not like we have to repeat this every time, but the fact that the evidence doesn't back that up, the fact that your own intelligence community said that wasn't true, the fact that even before that you said you destroyed it all, the fact that on top of that, the International
Starting point is 01:43:31 Atomic Energy Agency has said that's not true. I mean, it's just insane. They just keep, but if they got the thing that we know isn't happening, then what? then if they got a bomb that we then assumed they would then use it on the world, that that somehow would be more catastrophic than the economic situation. Then obviously, you're saying that compared to a nuclear holocaust that the economic situation not so bad, how can that possibly be the argument of this economic driven? The idea that you're saying, well, it's nuclear chaos or high gas prices, just tough it out.
Starting point is 01:44:02 You want nuclear chaos? How is that possibly their argument? I mean, it just seems so extreme and so ridiculous, especially, you know, in a world where that's being proven to not even be the reality. But even if it was shown to be something they were working toward, the idea that you're dealing with like this, they're about to kill us all or high gas prices. That's not even remotely where this is,
Starting point is 01:44:21 even if they were actually trying to create a nuclear weapon. They're just playing on the stupidity of the average people, which seems to show you that they know that the only thing they can get is the lowest common denominator. Like they're so flailing about this, they need to trick the people that can barely tie their shoes in the morning, just to be able to feel like they've got some level of, support. That's how I would read it, guys. I know that seems to be not what everybody thinks right now,
Starting point is 01:44:43 but I think nobody believes these people anymore. And there was a permanent, permanent shutdown of the flow of energy out of the Middle East. Oh, okay. So again, the idea that somehow they were just going to shut it down entirely forever, despite the fact that they didn't do that even in the midst of all this. On top of that, that they have openly stated a plan for the ongoing flow of the Strait of Ramos with their involvement. And Oman is playing a part in that, which is why Trump just threatened to bomb them. You just can't make up how stupid this is. And my point, again, is that percent must know that he's wrong in all this,
Starting point is 01:45:16 and he's probably really uncomfortable being put in this position. Just my gut. Well, then let me ask you, was your prediction? And I promise you that President Woodrow-Wilson, it was your prediction. I will promise you that President Woodrow Wilson, who's present during World War I, the Germans did not attack us, that he got into that. Or you're not answering the question. Let me ask this.
Starting point is 01:45:38 And I guarantee you. prediction that Americans would face only 50 days of 10. Yeah, that's hard. That's hard to watch. Like he just, you know, the point where he had some just talking point thing he was going to do about Woodrow Wilson. He forgot about that and then try, oh, wait for the Wilson thing and tried to throw it at the end and nobody heard it.
Starting point is 01:45:54 And so it's clear that he's just trying to be that thing the rest of them were being. Instead of just answering the questions and, you know, with a quorum or whatever you want to call it and doing it in ways that make you look like you're not guilty. As opposed to just shouting over them and say, you're dumb and you're wrong and you're the bad one, not me. That's the gist of what they seem to be doing. It's not like I'm praising the past. Guys, what I'm saying is like at least they're obvious about it today. But before, it was like the Obama comparison. These guys are monsters, but they're very much, they're better at hiding that. Why it's so obvious today, I have plenty of thoughts on. That's not the point for today.
Starting point is 01:46:27 I just think it's embarrassing to watch this, but the reality is back to the question. Do you care that Americans are suffering? Apparently not. Apparently, you should just tough it out because nuclear weapons that don't exist. I mean in regard to Iran, and that's based on the evidence that they have. So Andrew Koblett says, the impact of our failed education system has revealed itself in this congressional hearing. Oh, yes, you're plucking out the idea that she, by the way, for all we know, she didn't care to answer.
Starting point is 01:46:56 She just said, I don't know, moving on, like almost saying like, who cares? That's not the question. But I guarantee she probably, my gut would say she probably didn't. But the same point applies. I'm willing to bet anybody, highly educated people that just are. aren't focused on that, might not know it off the top of their head for any number of reasons. The fact that that's the best they can do is because that that's what the left and the right does. They're lazy. They're manipulative. They take the lowest hanging fruit to try to make the other side think they're better than the other.
Starting point is 01:47:21 They're a bunch of kindergartners, guys. And he says, this woman is a federal legislator responsible for creating laws that govern hundreds of millions of she doesn't know something this simple. The simple? I mean, it's not a complicated thing. But, you know, give me the date of the last time. I mean, I, you know, anyway, I could make up a a number of things that are just as simple and throughout history. You know, what was the vice president's name during Woodward Wilson? Andrew Go. How much you want to bet he wouldn't know that at the top of his that? The point is that he's trying to make it to something. Incompetent children, all of them.
Starting point is 01:47:53 Well, Andrew, on that, we agree, except you support half of them. But Kyle Becker comes in and says, why are foreigners running the U.S. government? You don't realize how insane that is, guys? This, how would this is, now, to be clear, he has a right to say that. I will defend his right to be that gross and disgusting and manipulative and stupid. Because the idea is that she, whether this is the point as you can look it up for yourself, easily was born in Los Angeles. So is she not an American?
Starting point is 01:48:20 Kyle? Because she was born, her family come from somewhere like every American at some point in history. It's just weird how these people, and let's put it this way. It is obvious what they're trying to do. One, I think it's deflection. Two, it's about trying to create this Uber-focused American nationalist idea, which is not even what I argue most at Republicans truly believe. That's what the game of the two-party illusion wants you to think,
Starting point is 01:48:43 these Nazi magna, or the pedophile deep state Democrat, that's all this game that I don't think represents the majority of either side. Andrew says, that's really the key question, isn't it? You must be born in America to be president, but really all elected officials should have to be worn here. No exception. Oh, yeah, she's born there. Oh, oh, this is even funnier.
Starting point is 01:49:01 Andrew, so you're griping about the fact that they don't even know this simple point of the president or rule, and you don't know that this person you're claiming wasn't born here was born here maybe it speaks to lack of due diligence or deliberate dishonesty either way let's talk about iran another important point that you should see as we mentioned earlier is the argument that iran didn't actually bomb the hospital or excuse me the airport i find this very interesting for many reasons now i last unless i list there's been new information that came out over the last hour i haven't seen anything updated on this from This is the Daily Iran news, not an official account necessarily, saying this is the U.S.
Starting point is 01:49:39 AD from Kuwait. It failed. It struck the heart of Kuwait. So all you're seeing is the missile shot up to defend against something, and it swings back around and hits what they argue is the airport. Now, this is not new, by the way. Now, there's a few ways to look at this. Like we talked about the discussion of the soccer players in where was it the, I think
Starting point is 01:49:58 was in the Golden Heights, right? where it was a Druze community where they claimed it was, who was at the time? Was it Iran at that time? I forget anyway. The bombing was not Israel. It was somebody else.
Starting point is 01:50:11 And they killed those children. Except when you can easily see the video, which we showed you ourselves, of the Iron Dome, literally firing a rocket that came back around and hit that exact spot. It's on the record.
Starting point is 01:50:21 I showed this and it's verified. It's not AI. And so at the end of the day, they just ran with the lie. And they either deliberately did that because they wanted to blame it on them, which is not far-fetched at all, by the way, or that was a mistake that they just decided to use
Starting point is 01:50:34 so they wouldn't be in trouble for it, or at least seen for doing it. So this is one of the possibilities. As Daniel McAdam says, Iran did not attack the Kuwaiter National Airport. The United States did. That's his opinion based on this information. Now, Iran, as we'll show you next, has publicly said they didn't do that.
Starting point is 01:50:49 There's no reason we should blindly take what they say at face value. But considering the reality of the information thus far, you've got one side that has been consistently lying to you. I mean, almost every single time, quite frankly, and the other side, that hasn't. Now, that doesn't mean they're not lying in places we haven't seen. It doesn't mean that they're not just as capable of deceiving you when it's in their benefit. My point is, right now, it's obviously in their benefit to not lie to you because a thousand reasons we've already gone over. So that being considered, that the lien would clearly be toward the group that's not lying to you, but that's not, we wouldn't assume is the point.
Starting point is 01:51:23 It's just information. And as it goes forward, I'm sure we'll get more. I think it's worth considering, though, like I pointed out yesterday, that it's something we should question. We shouldn't be taking it face value that we just know they did that because U.S. intelligence says the same U.S. intelligence that's been caught lying incessantly or the Israeli intelligence because that's all it really relies on. Because what you have is Kuwait, who is clearly in line with them, who is pointing to CCTV video and saying we can see this. And then saying what we see is in line with what we think Iran is using. That's about it, guys. And then U.S. intelligence of the rest claiming they know it was them. But we already proved to you in the past that Israel has done this with drones they claim were from Iran
Starting point is 01:51:59 proved to you in the beginning of this dynamic that they already did that. We showed we show this before. This is what they're known for, guys. So think about that. But continuing in the article here, Kuwait says Iranian drone hit airport and killed one as ceasefire is tested again. Iranian drones, this is on the third yesterday, heavily damaged a passenger terminal at Kuwait's main airport Wednesday, killing one person, wounding dozens and briefly closing the airfield. the latest in back and forth attacks by Iran and the U.S.
Starting point is 01:52:26 that test a fragile ceasefire, period. You got to love how they don't say so U.S. intelligence says. Because you understand, guys, this is not verified right now. It's coming from their information and what Kuwait says they saw on the CCTV, which even if they are accurate what they saw is just a drone. Anybody could fake a drone that looks like anybody else right now, guys. That's not very hard to wrap your mind around. So it's worth questioning.
Starting point is 01:52:49 And, of course, they test a fragile ceasefire. So that alone should make you take this not very seriously, this article itself, but it says Iran denied causing the damage. I think that matters. Not that we should blindly trust it, but that they put out a public denial would matter. Now, I would argue if they were lying about it, it makes sense because if they maybe did this and didn't intend to kill civilians, they wouldn't want to own that. And I could see a world absolutely in which either side would hide something they did that they wouldn't want people to see. It says, we've been hitting them pretty hard, Trump says, when asked by reporters on Wednesday, if the ceasefire remains in place. And we'll talk about this in a second, how dumb this is. He goes, I'd say it's a part of the
Starting point is 01:53:28 world where this ceasefire is when you're shooting more or less moderate. Oh, is that what it means, Trump? No, it's ceasefire has the same definition everywhere in the world, except for you guys, is the point. He's literally saying, well, when there's bombing a little bit, it's a ceasefire. What a joke, guys, it's just embarrassing what these people keep doing. Now, don't forget, as we'll show you again a second we talked about yesterday. There is a base in this airport. by every definition of what we've been using so far. And I mean, the reality of international law, that would be a military target. So it's important to see that again.
Starting point is 01:54:01 And even the conversation that was put on top of that, that no, that was about them moving away from military. I'm going to show you, that's not true, using the article that we showed yesterday. In fact, very clearly shows you just a change of structure. It's still a military base for the U.S. Continuing, it says in Washington, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he, Trump, vice president, fans and Rubio huddled for three hours. I don't believe that. At the White House Monday, as Trump worked on that final piece in getting commerce flowing,
Starting point is 01:54:30 what they're pretending, by the way, that you can easily demonstrate is not true, is that they were somehow working on this piece of the deal that they need. Guys, you can keep seeing, as I've said 100,000 times, that Iran is still demanding the same things. The same things they were in April. Yes, they're still taking mediator notes through Pakistan and everybody else, but the idea that somehow Trump and them are working late in the hours to work out this piece of the deal. There's nothing changing.
Starting point is 01:54:54 They keep Iran keeps saying no and they keep coming back to the table and pretending they're dealing with them. Now, today, maybe that changes. I don't know what they're saying today. But you can look back every single time and see that that's the way it's gone. You can't keep pretending he's in the place of strength when every single time they say, no, we don't want that. We only want this. Oh, you better make a deal and we're going to bomb you. And then they do it again.
Starting point is 01:55:13 They go, no, we don't want that. We only want this. Over and over and over and over, you show that they continue to stand by that. So here, you have to know they're lying about this. They want you to think they're working night and day to get this tilt on. It's just pathetic. It's pathetic. And what I mean is you need to understand that it's not a statement of opinion.
Starting point is 01:55:30 You can prove that hasn't happened up until yesterday. The Revolutionary Guard acknowledged that it targeted the headquarters of the 5th Fleet and the U.S. military facilities in another country. Both the U.S. and Iran said they were retaliating for earlier attacks and attempted ones. Yes, but what's funny is you can clearly show. show that that wasn't the reality. They made up stories about mines that plenty of other people on all sides of the conversation. And I actually read an article from an admiral that made the argument that there were no mines based on deductive logic. I said the same thing. And so they say
Starting point is 01:56:02 were stopping boats with mines and they bomb Iran in southern Iran or in the spread of Ramos. And then go, but the ceasefire still maintains. And then Iran decides to do something back. That's what actually happened. And so it's real. And you can obviously see these things. There's plenty out like Rubin that will just go, that's a fake news story. because Trump said and just pretend that you're wrong because they're the adults in the room. Everyone's laughing at you guys now. I hope you understand that. Both the U.S. and Iran said they were retaliating for earlier attacks.
Starting point is 01:56:28 Netanyahu told the American Business News Channel NBC that Iran was playing with fire. But he said any decision about whether to scale up a military response would rest with Trump. Isn't it funny how somehow Netanyahu can dictate policy and dictate Trump's actions and decide whether the deals happen? But then, oh, but it's up to Trump. He decides. It's so obvious who's playing in this game. The U.S. military set at launch strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Kashim Island and the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's former ministry said a telecommunications tower was struck. It called this attack and others acts of aggression.
Starting point is 01:56:59 I mean, how would they not be? You're talking about attacks while Trump says he's in a ceasefire. Now, again, remember, there is no ceasefire as of April because they violated it with the blockade and the continuing bombing of Lebanon. The only reason it's illegal for them to do any of this is because the entire war is an illegal act. But if you claim as a ceasefire, then violating that would be the act of violating the ceasefire. So the point at the end of the day is it's an act of aggression no matter how you spin it by the U.S. and Israel. That violated what they claim as a ceasefire. So keeping that in mind, here is this article about the location in that airport.
Starting point is 01:57:37 Now, this is from May 24th, 2019. Now, as best I could tell, this is still the current reality. This is from the Defense Logistics Agency. Cargo City officially opens as new gateway in Kuwait. Now, what people are saying is that ultimately that this was misinformation, and at the end of the day, this is about them changing away from it. Now, what it says is the opening of Cargo City successfully closes the United States Air Force and Coalition Air Base Gateway over 20 years of operations. Now, you read the entire thing, it's very clear. It says the aerial port will continue to serve as a major military logistics point, functioning,
Starting point is 01:58:13 as the largest aerial port of debarkation in the Middle East. It says, as the senior United States military representative at this airbase, the Almibaric Air Base, Kuwait, the 387th AEG maintains relationships and negotiations with host nation, military, and government leaders, quote, the opening of cargo bay. Again, cargo bay is the one that's supposed to be the new one. After what they claim is the airbase that they're closing, the opening of cargo city, insurers direct, quote, we will continue to provide unparalleled theater support and decisive air power, said Colonel Patrick Schlutchenmeier,
Starting point is 01:58:48 386th Air Expeditionary Wing Commander. Quote, this accomplishment is a shining example of our ability to work alongside our host nations, joint and coalition partners to further increase capability. The fifth expeditionary air mobility squadron has relocated to provide maintenance, command, and control and aerial port operation support for Air Force and contact flights into Cargo City. Okay. So yes, you can argue that they transition to something that's more coordination with this nation state and not just a occupied military base, but it is still literally a military location and installation for what they're doing. And guys, we know that. We know that because these groups are involved with the attacks on Iran. And so for them in any way to argue that this doesn't constitute a military target while they're bombing hospitals and schools claiming there's something underneath them, there's not. It's just it's hard to wrap your mind around. Guys, it's obvious. Now, whether or not there were people there, matters. And I would argue that from a, you know, the perspective of Iran, that at the end of the day, if it's a military target based on a military base, that it's sort of the same argument when it comes
Starting point is 01:59:53 down to, you know, let's put it this way, bombing any military installation in international law, as far as I can tell, it's considered an legal act. Now, this overlaps with whether or not they're allowing civilians to exist within their military location, right? It's the same idea of saying, well, I mean, there's so many different points to get into about the schools, And as they said, when they bombed the school in the beginning, that they shouldn't have had that school close to the military base. Well, here's endless examples of military bases in the U.S. that have schools in them.
Starting point is 02:00:22 So at the end of the day, you must think about this in the context of what actually constitutes a human shield, Tel Aviv and so on. And the choice to make sure that is the reality, knowing those are military targets. That is a choice. But either way, this matters to me. And at the same time, it matters to be strict to the line. if Iran, as I've already called out for previous examples, does something that violates that line, whether they feel justified because of what the U.S. and Israel did or not, it's still a crime,
Starting point is 02:00:48 just like with Hamas and Gaza and the Palestinian-Islam with jihad. Their crimes, if they commit them. Now, here's Netanyahu in Hebrew, saying there is no place for violence, not against political leaders, not against anyone. Can you actually believe the nerve it takes for someone like that to say that? As he's killed, I mean, as, as he says, Ron, look who's preaching. You've killed 50 plus political leaders. leaders in four countries and thousands of children. I mean, whether you want to talk about Soleimani or Kamini or any number of assassinated
Starting point is 02:01:19 scientists or politicians that aren't in any way legitimate military targets. This is the guy saying that, the guy who's assassinated leaders around the world, or impager attacks, killing innocent children and women. Come on, guys. I mean, this is just, they're laughing in your face. And at a time when I think he knows that nobody buys this. Now, here's Trump talking about assassinations. casually discussing meeting commini, the son.
Starting point is 02:01:47 This is just very sociopathic to me, borderline psychopathy. He's talking about meeting the per, like as I'll read what Mel said. After assassinating Comini's wife, father, sister, baby niece, Trump casually says he'd like to meet him. Things that get along quite well.
Starting point is 02:02:05 So what I actually sense from this is this is Trump trying to walk away from this, like somehow trying to come. create the dynamic that things have suddenly changed that now Iran's better because of the group that what he already tried to pretend there was a regime change he tried to pretend he killed three different levels they didn't guys they lied about almost everything that's happening in all this commini was killed and even that at this point now going that even happened the evidence does back that up i'm just kind of in a jokingly joking way pointing out that if they've lied about
Starting point is 02:02:34 everything so commini was the the son stepped in right after him they didn't even miss a beat and he wants to make you think somehow they've already accomplished a regime change. This statement kind of adds to that feeling that it's kind of like, well, we're okay now, we're talking, he will be friends, we'll know. Iran war, what do you mean? Epstein files, let's focus on them over there. Look at the Democrats, as we said. Who's making the decisions?
Starting point is 02:02:58 Well, they say he is giving approval because that's the way it has been. Oh, the leader decides? Weird. For a long, long time. His father and then him, I guess it's a, succession. Oh, you mean like England? You mean like, you mean like, you mean like, plenty of the foreign countries that you work with on a regular basis like Saudi Arabia. What a hypocrite guys. You know, and he knows this. He just plays on the ignorance of his
Starting point is 02:03:23 followers. That's all it is. But we seem to be getting along quite well. Would you like to get along quite well? In what way? You guys aren't meeting. The only people are even getting messages through the mediators are the team you have, not you guys. The idea that you you are even in communication getting along quite well. Even if you pretend the negotiations are that they're not getting along quite well. Because it's just, he just makes things up. That's what they all do right now. And by the way, so too of all the politicians in my entire life. They just are, I guess, better at it, not so clumsy. I don't know. Meet him or meet any of the Iranians in person. I've never thought of it, actually. It's a very good
Starting point is 02:04:03 question. Would you like to meet him or meet any of the Iranians in person? I've never thought of it. Actually, it's a very good question. I'll think of it. Yeah, I'd like to meet him. I'd like to meet everybody. I'd like to meet him. We probably will meet at some point, depending on how it all works out. Just casual sociopathy. No big deal.
Starting point is 02:04:23 It's incredible. Okay. So to finish with some important points on the War Powers Act, the discussion of what's happening in Lebanon, Gaza, and West Bank. This is interesting. Because, by the way, it's been discussed, Rubio came out right in the beginning and told you,
Starting point is 02:04:39 We did this for Israel. We did this because Israel was going to, that Iran was probably going to attack them, and Israel was going to go first. And so we had to do it first. They're basically driven by Israel's actions. Trump then kind of tried to deny that, but then doubled down on it like a week later.
Starting point is 02:04:52 Here, he says, Israel needed us. They couldn't have done it without us, which probably is going to bother it in Yahoo, by the way. This is this little game they play back and forth. But either way, it's support, guys, that they are doing this together and that you're at war with Iran for Israel. And Americans have died. But Israel, hey, look, they've been a great partner.
Starting point is 02:05:15 B.B. Net, now, who's been, for me, a great partner. Yeah, for you. Not so good. For me, he's been very good. We were very effective what we've done. And they needed us. They couldn't have done it without us. Couldn't have even come close. And they needed us.
Starting point is 02:05:28 And they got us to help them with a real problem because Iran was a real problem. Yeah. Well, what's funny is he's being way too honest about this. Like off the cuff, right? that yeah, they did need you to do it. Israel wouldn't have even remotely, I mean, you're failed, by the way, you're still failing, it seems, but Israel wouldn't have been able to get their feet off the ground without using the U.S. military, as they always do, as most Americans are starting to call out. And Trump has the nerve to stand up and go, well, they needed us. They couldn't have done
Starting point is 02:05:57 without us. No, duh, Trump. That's what we're all saying, that they use the U.S. military to accomplish their Middle East goals all the time. They've been doing it for years our entire life. I can show you the clip again of Netanyahu. back in the 80. He literally sitting in front of Congress going, go after Iraq, go after Iran, go after Libya. It's obvious. And he just comes out.
Starting point is 02:06:17 This is where I start to think that he doesn't even realize that he's being used. It somehow Trump's this, he's aging guy, losing his grasp on things, and he's just being con. He's in a whirlwind of manipulation
Starting point is 02:06:28 and doesn't even realize it. Maybe he's so aware of it that he's just given up. I mean, I don't even know how to read it, but realize that this is not the Trump but was around before. And he is just this lazy, I mean, think about saying this.
Starting point is 02:06:41 Think about buying an island while you're being accused of Epstein stuff. Like all the things they're doing seem to be just bad choices. They're a big problem. We were very effective what we've done. And they needed us. They couldn't have done it without us. Couldn't have even come close. And they needed us.
Starting point is 02:06:58 And they got us to help them. They did. They did get you to help them. That's not what Americans want to hear Trump. That's what everyone says that you guys have been denying. And now you just say it. Well, you can decide why. Patrick Kenningson points out that Massey
Starting point is 02:07:14 passed the War Powers Act 2215 to 2008 and the way that it could frame by the Jesse Waters of the world the kind of the leader of the right-eyed, holy crap guys it seems, is embarrassing. Just blatant teams for politics. Even though they all seem to know that most Republicans don't want any of this.
Starting point is 02:07:35 Here's Thomas Massey. The Iran War Powers resolution that I co-sponsored opposing the war just passed the House of Representatives. This was yesterday. The people's house is sending a message and this war. Now, has yet, as far as I can tell, to pass the Senate. Thus, that just happened when I find that hard to believe. What's important to understand is it appears to be a concurrent resolution.
Starting point is 02:07:57 We'll get into what that means in a second. Here is Jesse Waters. Let's listen to a little bit of this first. Foxo's alert, the House just passed a war powers resolution to end the war in Iran. The final vote, 215, 2.15, 2.15. with four Republicans breaking rank. Breaking rank. You got to love how they frame that, right?
Starting point is 02:08:20 It's not that you can have your opinions and principles and represent your constituents. No, no, no. You're, what are you with 19, whatever, the idea that you, the old democracy ideas, it's insane that they can stand there and sell you on an idea that is all or nothing. A team sport politics on full display and not recognize what they're showing you is that these are politicians who are acting against the will of their constituents. How we're going to pretend that every single Republican in the world all agrees with everything? No, that's obviously not true.
Starting point is 02:08:53 State to state policies change, guys. And that's what this is supposed to be. It's a lie, by the way, but they're supposed to be representing the will of their constituents in their local areas. For Jesse to say, well, they broke ranks, it means that it's only about what Trump wants. Trump wanted this, and these Republicans didn't do what they were told. That's not even secret. That's exactly what they're saying, and that's what everyone has been pushing.
Starting point is 02:09:14 And now that's a criticism. Massey doesn't even support Trump when he needs him. It's like, well, why is that a criticism? That shows he has principles. And it's not, he's not siding with the Democrats. He's siding with whatever he believes. In some cases, it's contrary to all of the rest of them, like this. Including Thomas Massey, who just lost his reelection bid.
Starting point is 02:09:35 The vote would be the president would have to seek out congressional approval for any future military action. Oh, you mean like the Constitution says? Yeah, exactly. Now, this starts from the beginning of an illegal act, which they pretended it was an eminent threat. They proved that wasn't true by their own statements. So that carves out even the idea of war powers would apply, by the way. There is no authorization for use of military force. Congress hasn't approved it.
Starting point is 02:09:57 That's it, guys. That just lingers because Congress is completely inept. The point is there, and this may be where this goes, by the way, but it shouldn't have taken this long. I believe this is toothless. I think they're doing this to make it look like they wanted to stop. now the point is clearly they voted this down in the house they voted it forward in the house and it seems that the senate has to continue to you know it's going to go through the senate i argue it's probably going to pass but what's going to happen is that trump will try to veto it
Starting point is 02:10:24 the bill now is going to be voted on in the senate so we'll see what happens there even if it does pass out of the senate trump will just veto it so it's more symbolic okay well but jessey you know it's so important to inform your audience on is that there's something different than, you know, there's different forms that can show and rather they can come forward. And one of them is a concurrent resolution, meaning it's not two separate things coming through different sides that come together, but rather one that is chavowed on by both, which is what this is, which would mean he's not allowed to veto it. The problem, though, is that there's no legal mechanism to stop him from doing it anyway. And we keep highlighting this,
Starting point is 02:11:01 because realistically, the concurrent resolution and the idea that they can't veto that has never really been tested in the sense of a structure like this going, we don't care. Sort of like the idea of the constitutional violations or any number of things that Trump just goes, sue me. I don't care. Article two, I can do what I want. Even though they keep losing, they just stand their ground. And Congress never does anything about it. Because the only mechanism in which, the only mechanism through which they can do something at that point is for Congress to impeach them. Because what he's saying is, I don't care about any of the things we hold sacred. I don't care about the Constitution. I don't about the law, I don't care. I'm going to do what I want. And okay, well, that's belligerent.
Starting point is 02:11:41 It's like saying a president is going, I can do whatever I want all day long, pretty much what Trump is doing. That would mean Congress has to stop that because that is the, even if it's more so the reality we want to believe, supposed to represent the challenging of the check and balance system. That's when you're supposed to impeach a president. And then it's supposed to show future presidents, well, don't do that because you'll lose power. And that's supposed to be how that works. The problem is that never has this happened since what? I mean, technically Trump was impeached, but not removed, right? And the same thing with Clinton. Like, it's like this game that's played. At the end of the day, it never really actually makes them accountable. I think Nixon was the last one that actually got removed.
Starting point is 02:12:18 And even that, I think he removed himself, first of all. But the end of the day, what we're talking about is a situation where Congress has given up its ability to actually check the power of the executive branch. And so back to the point is that this is a resolution that he's not supposed to be able to veto for obvious reasons because we're talking about something that Congress has put forward to check him through the War Powers Act and for him to go, well, never mind, why is it even there? Now, realize that if it wasn't concurrent, the idea would be that you have to have two-thirds majority from both sides after he vetoes it to try to overrule that. And they could.
Starting point is 02:12:48 It's happened. I doubt that would happen, though. But we'll come back to that in one second. The idea being continually that this is something that, before I stop the video, let me see if there's any less. In other news, someone might have to clean up his cave because some, Someone's coming over for dinner. God, these people are so dumb.
Starting point is 02:13:06 That's what I forgot this was. Clean up his cave. They're talking about community, by the way. Like, they just, they think we're that dumb, guys. Trump's going to come meet him now. Like this, Jesse Waters, is embarrassing. I mean, I honestly think these people, he's kind of like the Don Lemon of the Fox News.
Starting point is 02:13:21 It's a role they're playing. It's a game, guys. These people are embarrassing. And the idea of how they, look, the breaking, red light breaking. He is the red light breaking, you know, Holy cow, guys, he's even made that exact statement. Holy cow, wrecking red lights and shared old content, the same thing.
Starting point is 02:13:37 Now, overall, as I said, what we're seeing here is that you are fighting to maintain the war on Iran. Take a second and think about that, right? Despite Trump promising not to do this at all, the Republicans are now voting in line with, with the bottom. I'm trying to read at the same time. The point is the end of the day. This is something they said they would never do, right? We're not going to go to war with Iran.
Starting point is 02:13:59 It'll never happen. And now you're trying to call out Republicans who are voting to keep that promise. I mean, you just can't make this. This is why I keep highlighting that normal people who are not blinded by teams for politics, they see these things. And maybe that was the breaking point for a lot of them where they go, gosh, darn it. I was hoping I was being lied to by the fake news media. This is just silly.
Starting point is 02:14:21 This is obviously you guys fighting to keep the war going. Why would we support that? You promised us it wouldn't happen. So that's where we are. I just simply said, try adding a few more red lights, Jesse. Maybe it'll make that less ridiculous. So here is what Thomas Massey said. Four of us respected the Constitution because he's calling them out for, as he said, betrayed the party.
Starting point is 02:14:44 Well, if the party is breaking the Constitution, then the people standing up against them are the ones fighting for the American people. Here's what Justin Amash said. Members of Congress don't swear an oath to a political party. they swear to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. 207 Republicans betrayed their oath. He's right. So before we get to what Robert Barnes says, well, actually, no, I wait, I forgot, I've got some legislation we can reference to that point. But as this person responds to Barnes, who says Trump vetoing the war powers resolution is constitutionally irrelevant since only Congress can declare war.
Starting point is 02:15:24 Now, I don't, he's a lawyer, so you take his word over mine if you want. I kind of feel like that's not exactly what the legislator, or the, I don't believe, I will go through the actual, what am I train is, not documentation, but I guess outline of the War Powers Resolution, because it's not technically the War Powers Resolution. It's a summary of the information, whatever you would call that. So overall, my point, though, is if you read the information, there is a world in which a War Powers Act resolution, if not concurrent, can be vetoed. So I think that's worth knowing based on what he says there.
Starting point is 02:15:52 and it goes, and their rejection of war in the context of Iran makes any further military action by Trump against Iran an unconstitutional impeachable act. I agree with that for the base anyway. Greg says, we've got over this. We've got over this, Robert. The president has the power to make war. God, these people are so hung up on the basic. Just the article too. Do you even know what that means?
Starting point is 02:16:12 Now, and he's wrong, by the way, as Robert calls him out. He says, well, that doesn't exist in the Constitution. He has the power to command forces entered into war by Congress. It's very simple. And here's somebody is going, article two. It's just,
Starting point is 02:16:25 it's sad how dumb down this country has gotten. But the point, guys, back to the reality of this is that this is something he will try to stop, but he does not have the power to just unilaterally conduct war forever
Starting point is 02:16:37 because of what you say. Now, Dave DeCamp came out and said the House passes the Iran war resolutions, no ceasefire in Lebanon and more. But he said, in regard to what he said in the video, he says, correction, I didn't realize the war-powered resolution that they're discussing was a
Starting point is 02:16:50 concurrent resolution, which means he cannot be to it. Technically, that's correct. And Dave would agree with this. It's just a point because I argue that their technicality is more so that it hasn't been challenged, really. And in this current reality, Trump is going to challenge it. I promise you that. This is the article from yesterday from the Hill.
Starting point is 02:17:11 House passes resolution to end Iran war challenging Trump. Says lawmakers on Wednesday passed legislation designed to force Trump to end the Iran war. marking a victory for Democrats and constitutional purists who say the conflict is illegal without explicit congressional approval. See, did you love the way they frame that as if all Democrats are constitutional purists? It's so shockingly not true. But left-right paradigm, guys, everyone's lost in it, it seems, in the mainstream and mainstream alternative. But my point is the same as anybody who either has a political reason to do this or actually somewhere within that agrees the Constitution are on this side of it. I think most of them are about personal opportunists,
Starting point is 02:17:50 profiteering, but that's a different story. The tally was 215-208 for Republicans, Massey, Fitzpatrick, Barrett, and Davidson, joining with every Democrat in support. Again, I think it's quite obvious that almost every Democrat supports a war on Iran. They just don't support Trump's effort to do it, or rather in a political way. They want to use this for their own benefit when really they don't want to stop at all. That may sound confusing to some people, but the longer you pay attention,
Starting point is 02:18:15 this is kind of always how this goes. They'll take these political wins by standing against something they know is a never It's constantly happening. The development or something they will also help make sure happens behind the scenes. The development is largely symbolic. It says since there are lingering disputes about whether the measure, known as a concurrent resolution, carries the force of law. And Trump is certain to contest the authority of the measure, even if it's also passed by the Senate, where it's headed next. Still, the vote represents a significant development in the political battle over the Iran war.
Starting point is 02:18:50 putting Congress on the record in condemning a conflict that has dragged on for more than three months and rattled the global economy with no clear end in sight. So let me do this real quick. The point here as I'm looking for grabbing this words, or was that? Oh, here it is. That, you know, that Trump will dispute it either way, which I think is going to be the reality. So this is what it describes it as, a resolution adopted by both houses of a legislative. legislative assembly that does not require the signature of the chief executive and that does not have
Starting point is 02:19:28 the force of law. So that's how it's described. As even within this definition that it's passed by both doesn't require Trump's signature but doesn't have the force of law behind it. So I guarantee Trump is going to just ignore it, even though that's a constitutionally valid effort. The point is what it shows you is that just because there's no legal accountability does not mean it's not constitutionally sound. So it shows you that they don't care about the constitution. it's very simple. You have to understand that. Now, that's if it passes the Senate, which I kind of think it will. Only again, back to my point, because I think that both sides realize that Trump is going to ignore it anyway. So it gives them their win. They get to pretend like they're standing up for the Constitution. Make it look like it's just the Trump bad guy. And it's not, guys. I've already shown you plenty of people on the, I'm going to show you in a second. Democrats going, we got to stop Iran. Just got to do it the right way. Okay. So we got to make the illegal war conducted through our, you know, basically what they mean. is we have to pretend we're doing it legally, even though you're talking about an illegal war
Starting point is 02:20:28 from the get-go based on lies, based on regime change, based on surreptition, is what they do. So here, by the way, is the war powers resolution, expedited procedures in the House and Senate. There was two points, really, basically what it says, just the main part, is debate on the measures.
Starting point is 02:20:48 It says the War Powers resolution does not provide any expedited procedures for House consideration of a bill or joint resolution withdrawing forces from hostilities. Like any bill or joint resolution, the president would have the option of vetoing it. Alternatively, members of Congress may introduce what they call a concurrent resolution at any time directing the removal of armed forces, period, without Trump's ability to stop it. But again, he'll simply just ignore it and no one's going to do anything about it.
Starting point is 02:21:15 That's how infuriating this is, guys, and that goes back to a lot of the ICE conversation, the idea, I mean, the deportation of Americans is what they're doing. Now, this is another example of how they're trying to deflect. So while that's going on, you get them pumping out all the... This is, by the way, is Walls. This is the guy who got caught using an Israeli intelligence app to, I would argue, relay information from the White House. It was simply archiving all the signal messages within the inner circle of the White House. It's all very easily documented. He got called Signalgate in case he missed the beginning of the show.
Starting point is 02:21:48 And this guy was in the State Department. Now he's an ambassador somewhere. He shoved to the side. Get out. We don't want this guy. Why would that happen? You get exposed for basically rel- and you get pushed to the side.
Starting point is 02:22:00 That's happened with a few people in his administration. I find that to be insane. But here he is coming out of Fox News. I just spoke to President Trump 20 minutes ago, he says. And he told me this. This is what we go on to. Guys, what we're talking about here is insane. This is Trump saying,
Starting point is 02:22:18 this is what was going to happen if we didn't do what we're doing now. But what you're doing is saying, okay, but this was about the bomb they were going to make. Remember that? That's the big R. We don't think of a nuke. It was all going to be bad. But here's what he says was happening before. Iran had thousands of missiles pointed at all the Middle East countries. And by the way, they did. And everybody knew that because they've been telling you that these people, look, we can see how this has been developing. As I told you in the beginning, Iran already went to the U.N. before the 28th and said all these people are working with them and they're about to attack us. This is Israel, the United States are going to attack us.
Starting point is 02:22:57 They were, this, I've already covered this. It was publicly discussed. And they said, if they do, we're going to attack all of the people involved with them. Now, you can argue it's illegal. The point is that they outright said they were going to respond to what they argued were co-belligerents. So obviously, they pointed missiles with them because they were ready for them to attack. And clearly they were right. And it says, and again, last four months?
Starting point is 02:23:19 Yes, exactly, because they knew it was coming. that's when this happened post 12-day war guys and it's obvious to see that they were right and it says they were going to take over the middle east oh is that what it was so it's not that they were ready for your attack that ultimately came it's that they were secretly planning to overtake the middle east and they haven't done it ever i mean hasn't happened you don't have any designs for it they haven't taken over any neighbor countries there's no bases outside their country you guys have encroached around them all over you can literally draw around you know is iran with mil u.s bases but somehow argue that they've encroached outwardly somehow
Starting point is 02:23:51 again, it's playing to the dumbest people in the room. You can easily prove these things aren't true. They were going to control it all. The UAE, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia. Oh, weird. Who influences them right now? And it says, her I had pro-up hundred missiles pointed at these countries. Yes, again, the last four months, obvious. And they publicly said this. It's like claiming that Iran publicly discussing the 60% enriched 1,000 pounds of uranium that was on the record with the International Atomic Energy Agency that they said was within their safeguarding on June of 2025, I've shown it a thousand times, and then have Whitkoff come out and say, they were bragging about how secretly they had 60%. Nope. They can't be bragging about it in this meeting if they were publicly saying was within safeguards in June of 2025. But they know this. Or Whitkoff, maybe too dumb to know. I don't know. But these people all know they're misleading you.
Starting point is 02:24:42 They're playing to dumb people who don't understand what's happening. Don't be taken by it, whether you're smart or not. Realize that you can do your diligence and see these are lies. all these nations were afraid of Iran. They're not anymore. It's just embarrassing, guys. And so what they're doing, what Trump did saved us all from the thing that was about to happen. Well, sure, I'm glad we can't.
Starting point is 02:25:04 For you guys, I'm sure you're glad you can't prove that at this point. Right. You just get to point back to the thing that might have happened, should we not? Like, it would have been worse if you hadn't taken the shot, right? That's always what they do. Now, check out the article. State Department revealed to be using an Israeli intelligence link chat app involved in the Trump at Manhattan.
Starting point is 02:25:21 back. Very little a conversation about that, despite how big a deal that was. Now, here are both the Democrats and Republicans telling you why we have to stop Iran. Not new. It's always how it goes. We're there and we're in this war. We have to get the uranium. We can't just go home after we've lost 13 Americans. We've spent. Always how that goes, guys, always. You use the people that you said would never die to justify why you have to go now. We're committed. we can't just let them die. Well, we didn't want to do it in the first place, and you forced us into it.
Starting point is 02:25:55 Right, the idea that you're using their death to justify more death for Israel is, it's grotesque. And these people are all part of this, guys, and you can watch them, look at their track records, look at what they voted for. They all very much understand what they're doing,
Starting point is 02:26:09 and they know they're not fighting for you. I mean, that's my opinion, obviously, but based on the records of what they're doing and their basic understanding of what Americans are yelling about, I argue it's pretty obvious they know that. You know, $25 plus billion. And now the Iranians believe they can close the rate of her moves whenever they want and disrupt. Nope.
Starting point is 02:26:27 Hasn't happen as far as I can tell. But the reality is they certainly have always had that security possibility, which is why it's always been this. The conversation of the last 20 years, at least in my experience, has always been that should something happen like this, Iran might shut the straight down. I've been hearing that my entire career. And somehow it's this new story. Nope.
Starting point is 02:26:49 It's always been there. and they've never done it until you illegally bomb them. Funny how that works out. International trade. We have to get the uranium. That has to be part of the deal. And look, and that deal was made before you bomb on the 28th.
Starting point is 02:27:01 It just goes round and round, guys. You can prove that they already agreed to that. The foreign minister of Vermont said, we're about to have peace. They agreed. I've never seen it before. They agreed to give up their enrichment, to give up all of their,
Starting point is 02:27:11 and they bombed them that night. You can't make this stuff up, guys. Israel did it to stop the deal. Now you're going, we need to get the stuff that they already agreed to of us. We can't let them close the strait. They only close because you bomb them. Everyone sees this. These are points made every day. And here they are, knowing we know that and yelling about it anyway. We need our European allies and we need, you know, our world allies to try
Starting point is 02:27:34 to, you know, our Middle East allies to try to force this deal. This wasn't just, you know, the United States and Israel. This was our Gulf allies who wanted to make sure Iran did not get a nuclear weapon because that would set off a nuclear arms race in the, in the entire Middle East. Nope. Again, very easily proven that you can go back pretty much every year and see that Iran has put forward an offer for a non-nuclear Middle East. And every Middle East country signs on to it. And who doesn't? Israel. It's happened countless times over the years. And then they just don't do it. So every country is very aware of what's going on. They just are being cowed by the U.S. and Israel. Guys, the evidence is all there for you. Always. If you're watching Fox and CNN, you're probably not even aware that stuff exists. And so I think it's critical that whatever deal eventually gets done, and I want a deal, I don't want the war to continue, the deal must include getting all of the uranium, the nuclear dust, and the dismantling of the three underground facilities. Oh, you mean the ones that were obliterated? Got it. Okay. Well, what's funny to me, though, is that what you're saying is we have to get into the war, but we have these, get these things first. Oh, so you don't want an end to the war. You want what you want first, which means you'll fight until that, get that, and then we can end the war. But we want end of the war if we get what we want. Those are not the same thing. politician, but they know that, right? They know that. They know what they're doing. The game is we're going to get what we want. And we'll frame that as Iran's keeping the war going because
Starting point is 02:28:54 they won't give us what we demand. This is just basic U.S. policy, guys, and it's becoming very obvious. Now I said there's only one party, the pro-war, pro-Israel party. And they'll lie us into wars for their benefit and then use the very American deaths that they swore wouldn't happen in order to rationalize continuing the war they swore would never take place, all of them. Caitlin Johnstone points out the, I guess, mission creep of Trump's stupidity. How do you define a ceasefire, Donald Trump? Find ceasefire. How can you define ceasefire?
Starting point is 02:29:36 Now realize he's in a moment going, okay, clearly, if he has any level of intelligence in regard to like U.S. intelligence, then you're very aware that they've been violating the ceasefire, that you have violated the ceasefire. You're not dumb. I mean, not that dumb. So the point is he's sitting there going, okay, crap. So what do I have to, you know, I'm arguing anyway. How do we answer this without making it very obvious that we're breaking the law or that we're the ones violating? Like you can do one of two things.
Starting point is 02:30:02 You can say, well, Iran's the one that started it. They violated it and we responded. Or you could just go, well, you know, bombing things is how ceasefires work in the Middle East. Which he went with, he went with option B. Pretty much the way it is. It's a different part of the world. You know, I'd say that part of the world. ceasefires when you're shooting in a more moderate manner.
Starting point is 02:30:25 They laugh at that, guys. They laugh. No, no, that's you in Israel. That's what you guys do. Or the U.K. or the Western nations, they're all part of your little conglomerate. That's what you do. Look throughout history. I've made this point with Yemen and Saudi Arabia back by the United States.
Starting point is 02:30:39 I mean, you can go down the list. They take advantage of these. Ceasfire means you take more territory and blame it on them. Pompeo, Bolton. It's what they do, guys. and so you're pretending that a ceasefire means you keep bombing? Well, ask Lebanon, ask Gaza, ask Syria, ask any of them, if that's the reality. What they've most, I mean, these countries are actively fighting to stop the belligerent war against them.
Starting point is 02:31:04 That needs to be pretty damn obvious at this point. So why in the world they would continue to try to make the thing continue? I mean, there's plenty of reasons you could argue why that, you know, maybe they wanted for this one. My point is if you're using deductive logic. Occam's Razor, basic stuff. It's not always the absolute truth, but you have to start to see that every one of those answers
Starting point is 02:31:24 ends up in the same direction. None of this is in the interest of Iran. None of this is what they want. Every single day you see them take action that tries to bring this to an end. And every single day you see them do things like this. Doesn't take very much intelligence to understand where we are.
Starting point is 02:31:42 As Caitlin Johnstone says, that's the definition in Hebrew and American English. Everywhere else in the world, that means both sides are ceasing fire. Yep, pretty simple. Now, Fox News comes out and says, Hezbollah is rejecting a proposed Israel-Lebanon ceasefire that could impact broader negotiations
Starting point is 02:32:01 involving the United States and Iran as well. So this is another effort to try to decide to, to rather divide or remove Lebanon from the conversation in the sense of how, well, say that confusingly. So they are part of the ceasefire. Iran made that the case. And again, demonstrating that they're the ones dictated. these points. They said, we don't care what you say, Trump. We don't care what you guys say.
Starting point is 02:32:24 Lebanon's part of it no matter what. And they've maintained that sense despite what Trump and Lebanon and Israel trying to kind of maneuver. If they were in a weak position, they wouldn't be able to dictate those things and maintain them. So the point here clearly is that is Lebanon, and by the statements of both Israel and the United States, Lebanon, they claim, has always been part of what Iran is doing. So why would it not be part of the larger agreement? But at the end of the day, now they go, no, it's totally separate. Lebanon's here, you guys are over there. part of the degree, but it is though. So now what they're trying to do is claim Hezbollah is the one rejecting that part of it. But you see what they're actually pointing to is the Israel-Lebanon
Starting point is 02:33:00 discussion that Israel has been violating every single day, literally every single moment. Then I'll show you again today and every day yesterday, all back, every single day as far back as you can look. They're currently occupying show the Lebanon. They're taking more territory every day and they're continuing to bomb in the middle of densely populated civilian areas. and Hezbo is rejecting the ceasefire. This is just painful how this continues. But my point is they're pointing to that as if that violates, as if that means that Lebanon shouldn't need to be a part of the larger ceasefire,
Starting point is 02:33:30 the negotiation. It's not going to work, in my opinion. But the move comes as President Trump calls out House lawmakers who voted to limit his war powers. Oh, you mean what they're supposed to do? Literally what their actual job is? How dare you? And continues pressuring Iran to surrender. Trump argues,
Starting point is 02:33:47 ceasefires can look differently depending on where you are. Like they seriously frame it that way. Like it's not laughable. Anyway. Now, in regard to Lebanon, that they're continuing to bomb despite pretending like there's some kind of a ceasefire, Wyatt Reed points out, I'm not sure that this is understood in the West. So he wants to emphasize this.
Starting point is 02:34:06 Some of the children that were just killed were part of what are the Lebanese Boy Scouts, that they're trying to pretend are somehow terrorists. It's all Rissala, the Lebanese boy scouts. They belong to the Lebanese boy scouts. Scouting Federation, the local affiliate of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. The U.S. affiliate is the Boy Scouts of America. After Al-Rasala scouts turn 18, they often become scout leaders who serve as EMTs, firefighters, and search and rescue teams.
Starting point is 02:34:34 In the past two months, Israel has killed 27 Al-Rasala scouts, troop leaders, an associated young adult rescue workers. Here are some of the young scouts killed by Israel. neither Boy Scouts of America nor the World Organization of Scout movements have condemned their murders. Pretty simple. And I mean, if you're even remotely shocked about any of this,
Starting point is 02:35:00 regardless of what you want to say they look like dress or hold pictures of, it doesn't change the reality that we're talking about children. And guys, how can anybody pretend like this is not the most consistent part of everything they've been doing, whether in Syria or Gaza or Lebanon or Venezuela? I mean, anywhere.
Starting point is 02:35:18 Anywhere they're involved. guys, you can see that they're targeting these people. This is the ambulance they targeted, killing four people. This happens every day. This is absolutely targeted. Every human rights group is called this out. The UN is called this out. But guess what happens?
Starting point is 02:35:33 Absolutely nothing. As Lyala points out, it can't be emphasized enough how little coverage Lebanon has received in proportion to the killing and destruction Israel has committed. June 2nd, in just two months. And let's be clear, it's been happening long before that. Israeli attacks in Lebanon just the last two months have killed at least 3,468 people, including 224 children, 128 medical workers, and 330 women. Israel attacks have also damaged at least 17 hospitals.
Starting point is 02:36:06 And as always, this is not Gaza, guys, these things are verified. But you piti-see, now question at all, as always, what my point in saying that is that you have documentation, people filming, local testimony, human rights groups on the ground. CCC TV or whatever else. And you can easily see this. This itself comes from the Republic of Lebanon, ministry of public health. And in case you're confused,
Starting point is 02:36:27 that's the same Lebanon that Israel and the U.S. are working with. Hezbollah is not the same thing. My point is the Lebanon side of this is what the U.S., I mean, even the Lebanese government, I argue, is on the side of Israel and United States, largely. Now that it's more nuance. My point, though, is that this point to the Lebanon
Starting point is 02:36:42 ministry of public health is not the same as saying Hasbola, but there are overlaps too. But understand that this information is not something that's in a vacuum. It's not trapped inside of an open-air prison like Gaza. And the whole world is being silent about this. Dropside news, another paramedic, at least fifth paramedic killed in this day.
Starting point is 02:37:03 This is the third. Lebanon, Lebanon's health ministry, one paramedic was killed and another wounded and another airstrike in southern Lebanon. In this case, Mel is frustrated by the fact that on record, have people associated with the IDF openly discussing how they are going to target a Christian church. Israel is literally announcing their intention to bomb a 2000-year-old Christian heritage sites under the fake excuse of Hezbollah presence. This is always what they do. Look at every location they've
Starting point is 02:37:34 been involved in. They've been in Gaza, in Syria. They target the Christian locations. You know, and you could argue it's just they target everything. That might be the reality. But my point is, for those that seem to focus on the fact there's somehow some Christian partner and all this, they've been deliberately destroying some of the most sacred places of the world. Oh, and they also spit at Christians in Israel, if that matters to you, but drop site news points out in regard to the West Bank, which is a pretty important story.
Starting point is 02:37:58 Israeli forces have arrested female students in a pre-dawn raid. You'd think this would matter, wouldn't it, that four students, not IDF members who are also women, but students who are not in the military were seized by Israel from the universities in a pre-dawn raid and our health.
Starting point is 02:38:16 God only knows what's happening. to them. Now, you may think that the idea, you know, it doesn't even matter. You, I don't even need to explain what we all know is happening inside those prisons because of human rights groups, because of the United Nations, because of what Israel's IDF publicly told you, because they stood up and protested for their right to rape Palestinians. The fact that people still denied that as they protested on live air in front of the prison and we're screaming about their right to be able to do it. How we can deny these things, I have no idea. So simply consider that while you're talking about Palestinian women being arrested for no reason.
Starting point is 02:38:52 The idea here is that this should matter to you that for students or women are taken for no reason. It shouldn't necessarily mean that much more to you that one of them is also an American. But it may for some people that only care about one versus the other. But for those that think more about that, then this is also an American citizen. I really wanted to stress that guys because I think it's super important that we recognize. it should matter just as much to any human being that these women are taken for no reason held in a torture prison or whatever you want to call it,
Starting point is 02:39:23 which they literally are doing. And their citizenship shouldn't even play a factor in all of that unless we're talking about the fact that Trump and Biden or anybody else do nothing about it. From a human perspective, this should matter to you. Now, guess what? It's probably going to matter a lot less because Van Holland decides to make a point about it.
Starting point is 02:39:41 Yes, I think he's just as ridiculous as all the rest of them, but here he is making a point about an American citizen being taken by his. that nobody else is making. Do not support any of them. My point, all I think is funny is that probably people who are on that fence will suddenly go Democrat and ignore the point. I care that an American was taken.
Starting point is 02:39:57 I care that innocent women were taken by the IDF. You should care too. Just yesterday, four students, all women who attend Berzite University in the West Bank, were seized by Israeli security forces. One of them, Sama, is an American citizen. Israeli security forces came to her home at 3 a.m. in the morning and just took her without explanation. She told them she was an American citizen. They didn't care. I talked to her mother, also an American citizen, shortly after all of this happened.
Starting point is 02:40:38 She was absolutely distraught. She told me that her daughter has a medical condition that needs treatment. the Israeli government, the Netanyahu government, needs to tell everybody why they seized these students and our ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee and Secretary of State Rubio, who always tell us that their number one priority overseas is to protect American citizens.
Starting point is 02:41:07 Like cash, and make sure that Sama is immediately released. How about all the rest of them too? But realize that all they're going to say, is they're terrorists. And apparently that's enough, even for Van Hollen, too, as we've seen continually throughout this entire process. But sure, he'll win points by going, you better not.
Starting point is 02:41:26 You better take, you better let them go and then do nothing about it. Now, maybe I'm just a little bit too jaded. Maybe he'll do something, and I'll praise that too. But at the end of the day, I've seen these people play this game far too many times. It matters to me that they're taken, but it should matter that all of them are and realize that this government has continually done this because they're Palestinian. and that you guys have done the same thing in this country at this point with Khalil and all the rest. Now, yes, maybe some of the Democrats took an adversarial stance,
Starting point is 02:41:50 but you have to understand that they were doing the same thing under hate speech and woke dynamics just before that. And this goes back and forth. And they point to the other. And it's the same game. That's why you have Republicans who are still going to woke stuff and ignoring Trump doing it. And you got Democrats who are going, Trump's doing that while they were okay with their side doing it. But I think most Americans are not even in that dynamic. I could be wrong.
Starting point is 02:42:15 This has been part of a pattern. We've seen this happen before. In fact, we've seen American citizens killed by violent Israeli settlers and by security forces. And what happened, Van Hollen? Nothing. Without accountability. This has to change. Yeah, he does say that, right?
Starting point is 02:42:34 But what did he be done about that? Like saying this on Twitter doesn't do anything. You have power to influence. you're literally in Congress and you're going to go, guys, do something, say things. Yes, I agree that needs to happen too. But what have you done? Have you presented legislation? Are you, I mean, maybe he has.
Starting point is 02:42:55 I looked, I didn't see anything. I just find this to be a little bit insulting that you're going to stand there and act like what, what, we need to rise up and yell these things out. You should be right now doing something about that. Did you call Netanyahu? Have you criminal, have you said something about the criminal acts that are taking place? It just, it feels disingenuous to me. me. But again, maybe I'm jaded. I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government, the Netanyahu government, taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans.
Starting point is 02:43:23 Yeah, yeah, it's easy to say that now that it's being, it's, you know, why were you a year ago, bud, where were you two years ago? Now again, it's, you know, we should hope that this is real. You know, it should always be, that point matters, by the way, but it shouldn't be used to then go, but so that means it doesn't matter now, which is what you keep getting. Well, you didn't say that when Biden was doing it. Well, that's probably true for some people. But it still matters the Trump is doing it. So the same point goes is that I'm glad they're being, this pointed out, I really am. I'm glad they're pointing to it now. But where this has been very public and very obvious for a very long time. And only now, what about Joe Meeters? You didn't say anything then,
Starting point is 02:44:00 Van Hollen, right? He was a U.S. veteran or rather veteran of the U.S.S. Liberty. But anyway, so just I hope this gets attention, but I frankly think it's going to be disregarded and Trump's going to call them terrorists and, you know, whatever else, but to finish off. But my point in highlighting it, guys, not to act like we're screwed. I don't believe that. My point in highlighting it is so people are aware of it. So somebody who actually does care could actually do something about it, wherever that comes from. Because you have to realize what we've seen done to these people, guys. I mean, it's some of the most horrifying stuff I've ever had to deal with in my life. And it's every day in that country. Now, here are some examples, by the way. Ryan Rosbiani, to finish with some
Starting point is 02:44:40 stuff happening in Gaza. You know the same Gaza that Rubin just can't grasp is still happening. The entire family was burned to death after the IDF airstrikes. Yes, air strikes Dave Rubin, hit a residential apartment west of Gaza City. The name of five family members. Anor Ibrahim Libet, Hassan Rahab Label abed, the whole entire Labd family. He says, I'm out of a loss for words at how many times we have seen this happen and the world allows it to happen again and again. Yeah, because of the stupidity of people like Dave Rubin, or you can continue to pretend it's not happening or the dishonesty, whichever way you want to look at it, it's the same problem. Sitting there pretending like you're dumb for knowing that this is still happening.
Starting point is 02:45:17 Now at the same time, I could point to all these left-leaning people that knew for sure this was happening that are wildly wrong about the other half of things. And that's how the partisan shame game works, guys. Gotta get away from that. But my God, this still happens. It happens every single day. And as we discussed from the beginning, it was always the plan as Netanyahu happened. admits to increase the seizure of the land in Gaza.
Starting point is 02:45:42 Started with 40, then it was 50, now at 6. Now it will go for 70. He says, we are now at 60% of the Gaza Strip territory. We were 50, and we moved to 60. My directive is to reach 70, possibly 100%, gradually 100%. That's what they're saying. And we can't grasp that guys. No, the point is all of our politicians are very aware of what they're doing.
Starting point is 02:46:07 they've either been paid off or put in position. I'm not saying literally every single person. What I'm saying is the momentum is allowed because of those type of dynamics. You don't think they know this? You don't think Jared Kushner being financially involved with the building of the Gaza city hasn't anything to do with it? I mean, it's insane. They know these.
Starting point is 02:46:25 I mean, he's publicly talking about the fact that they're encroaching with this so-called yellow line that is designed to somehow create a safe area for Palestinians on the other side. No, it is pushing in further and killing them as they go. you can't see this by now and publicly saying it we will take 100% yep just like we all told you they were going to just like trump and all the rest of the partisans pretended wasn't happening and still ignores it yeah it just you know doesn't seem to stop but anyway to end on a somewhat positive note guys i just think we need to remember as always that the reason that this is happening in my opinion is because we are seeing through it now i don't
Starting point is 02:47:08 really know how much more of a positive note we can get. I mean, what have we been doing this entire time, right? We've been fighting for people to see all of this, fighting to expose all of this. And there's not everything, but these are major changes. So part of it should be considering whether we're being shown or allowed to see things so we can shove us into something new. That's kind of always how that goes. But it doesn't always mean that the awareness is, you know, manufactured. often enough it's something that we make people see as just individuals independent media and then they capitalize on that change because now now they don't you know they see it changing and they go we've got to get ahead of that and capitalize on that to shove you
Starting point is 02:47:50 into another manipulation but overall recognize the positive step that's happening recognize how clearly people are seeing through this stuff you know whether it's 5% 10% 70% it's a lot of people and you're responsible for that what you've done on in this community, in your own podcast, just talking about this online. You're reaching people, guys, and we all feel that right now. I'd like to believe. And I doesn't mean that everyone agrees with everything you see. But at what, I mean, remember when it was, you were crazy for even considering this stuff
Starting point is 02:48:20 was happening? Remember when talking about the idea that injections being given to people might have hurt them was insane? Look at where we are. You're having this stuff discussed at the level of Congress now. That's because of you. Now, we just recognize that, take the win, and realize we have a long way to go. there's a lot of stuff to
Starting point is 02:48:37 as I've said over the years we need to reevaluate the way we see success I don't think this is something that ever stops it's the never ending battle of good and evil guys it's never going away
Starting point is 02:48:49 so we play our role we fight for the good so just own that and take the wins as you go forward and keep fighting you know I mean it's it is a positive thing now as always while we are
Starting point is 02:48:59 let's just say on the you know in the never ending battle of good and evil we're gaining some ground, if you will, the evil's going to want to make you feel uncomfortable. And my God, is that obvious today, guys. They want you to feel pressured.
Starting point is 02:49:14 They want you to feel poor. They want you to feel, you know, everything that's coming down around you, I think, is about driving you into a place where you accept whatever they claim the solution is. So just prepare yourself for that. I know you guys understand this. That's why you're here. But we're doing it together. Help people see it.
Starting point is 02:49:33 Thank you for tuning in today, guys. like we just discussed yesterday, right? We put this out because I think it's a valuable concept. I mean, what we're doing, I think is valuable. So as the product, if you will, of what we're doing, let us know what you think that's worth, right? It's not free. We put this out because we want somebody to show us what it's worth.
Starting point is 02:49:51 But if you think it's worth zero, then that's what you show me. Hopefully you'll still watch it. Hopefully you'll still ingest the information. I'm okay with that. If you think it's worth zero dollars, I'm okay with that, as long as you watch it and share it. But if you feel like it's worth a little more than that, if you feel like what we put into this is worth a dollar, $10,
Starting point is 02:50:07 whatever you think it is, then show us that too. And I genuinely mean that. I mean, it really comes down to what you think this is, you know, the value of all putting forward. And as Derek was highlighting the day that with his substack, you know, he puts out some amazing work on there. It's just, you know, conscious resistance, but also T-Lab articles. And what he's pointing on there is important stuff.
Starting point is 02:50:25 But he pointed out that he gets like, I think it's like 1.5, 2, or something like that 1.2% of all of his subscribers are actually donating or invested. And maybe that's what people feel. Maybe that's the only group that thinks is valuable. I find it hard to believe, frankly. The point was, though, if you believe in that work and you want Derek's work to continue or in this context, T. Laf, well, then, you know, that's the choice to make. Because if it worth that dollar, is it worth that?
