Alex Brousowitz, thank you for doing this.
Very nice of you to do this.
So here's my perception.
Here's the overview.
So we're in this war.
Obviously, I disapprove, whatever.
I've said that many times.
Then the president decides we're getting out.
And the vice president articulates how and why.
And I couldn't be more supportive of that.
I was thrilled by that.
Thank God.
And then all of a sudden there is this just full.
of attacks on the president, but mostly on the vice president, from people who don't have
an alternative plan, but basically just calling the vice president to someone's on the president
names. It seemed to me as an outsider less fluent on the internet than you are that this is
coordinated. Like, what is this? What are we looking at? Well, it's a great observation. I believe that
there definitely is a coordinated effort to put pressure on the president and the administration to
continue the conflict in Iran.
And I believe that there is potentially even foreign influence involved.
And, you know, not just from one country.
So I think it's definitely a coordinated effort.
You're seeing a lot of these voices that kind of move as a pocket.
They talk about a lot of the similar issues.
They oftentimes do the similar paid media campaigns around other related topics.
And there's also evidence of millions and millions and millions of dollars flowing
to certain right-wing influencer marketing companies
from countries who might benefit from a prolonged conflict.
So I believe there's definitely a coordinated effort.
Similarly, right after the war was about to end,
or I guess the MOU was coming out,
a lot of the anti-war voices were also spreading misinformation about the deal.
They were pushing a line about how the United States taxpayers
were somehow going to.
give $300 billion to Iran. And I look at people like Thomas Massey, who's spent on this program,
he was very quick to share the statement saying that this MOU is terrible because we're going
to give $300 billion to Iran, which is not true. It never was true. It's money that can be
unlocked over time. Not a single dollar will come from American taxpayers. But people like Massey
were also spreading misinformation. So I think that there's a lot of coordinated misinformation.
information being spread from pro-war side and also some anti-war critics as well.
Interesting. So can I just get your take on something before we proceed into the details of
what you just alleged? You're alleging things, Alex Broussowitz, which seemed true to me,
but I want to know why you think it. But first to the question of the people criticizing the MOU.
Okay, plenty of ways to criticize the MOU, but all of that criticism, I think, needs to be
viewed in context of what the alternatives the MOU might be. Like, okay, maybe you don't like the MOU,
but then what? Right. Did any of the people in this campaign that you're describing
offer like an alternative to the MOU? Like we continue this war and then what happens?
Right. No, there's been no alternatives offered. There's just straight criticism. It's
keyboard warriors. That's what we deal with. Fortunately, their opinions have very little impact on the
the electorate, the populace.
You know, we've seen polling from Daily Mail, Fabrizio Lee,
McLaughlin, all these different polls that show President Trump's MOU.
It's widely popular with the American people.
67%.
Actually?
67%.
And so...
The framework of a settlement deal with Iran, the 14 points that have been everywhere.
Yes.
It's 67%.
67% of Americans who've been polled on that issue.
are supportive of the Trump Vance agreement.
But if you look at social media,
you think that nobody's in favor of it
because of coordinated influence campaigns
from unique actors and foreign parties.
Interesting.
It makes you...
I'm not actually surprised because, again,
you know, they're offering no alternative to the MOU.
Right.
So if there was like some way,
for the United States to get more,
you know, I could, you know,
I could see the criticism as being valid.
So I'm not surprised by that number,
but it does make you think
maybe there are other issues
where our view of it is totally distorted
because our view comes from social media.
Definitely.
And a lot of the press rooms,
they get their stories from social media.
They get their, the producers,
they get what topics they're going to discuss
in their shows from social media.
Oh, for sure.
Because they think that,
is what people are talking about.
And some people are talking about it.
But in the grand scheme of things,
a very small percentage of people are actually talking
or caring about these issues.
And so I think it's very healthy
and important for Americans in our country
to start pulling back from believing everything
that they read on social media
and start questioning a lot of the people
that they're getting the information from.
And on all sides of issues,
there's a lot of influence
and a lot of money from special interest groups
from foreign countries that have poured into
internet ecosystem.
And, you know, I don't think it's been healthy
for our democracy, for our country.
And so, you know, I've been working actually
with Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna
and some other friends in government
to maybe strengthen some disclosure laws.
But there's a lot of influence ops
that happen on social media.
And, you know, I think if we just
continue talking about the war in the Middle East, for example, there's an information app on the pro-Israel side,
and there's an information up on the anti-Israel side.
I was getting paid to be anti-Israel.
I've been very critical of Israel.
I've never taken a dollar from anybody.
We have no investors and no debt.
So I know for myself, and I would never take money to give an opinion.
So you're not Tucker Katarlson.
I actually really like Qatar a lot.
I think the people who run it are amazing,
but I've never taken any money from Qatar,
and I never would.
I think it's interesting to hear you say
that there is anti-Israel commentary
that's being funded by foreign countries.
I've never heard that before.
And it also might be funded domestically.
And maybe what,
I'm not going to accuse anybody of taking money.
That's not my position, right?
But I'd like to.
I'm an expert on social media.
Yes.
early on in my career,
I started my company
to help conservatives communicate
better on social media.
And so I would identify
conservatives
that I wanted to work with
and I would help them grow
their social media presence
oftentimes using some other people's platforms,
you know, amplification or whatever.
Some of those members of Congress
that I've worked with in the past,
Marjorie Taylor Green.
Yeah.
I started working with Marjorie Taylor Green.
She had 2,000 Twitter followers.
By the time she won her election and entered Congress that January of 2021,
she had over 800,000 Twitter followers.
So in probably a nine-month period,
we took her from a no-name congresswoman or a no-name candidate
to one of the most followed Republican congresswomen in America.
And how do you do that?
I must admit, I'm slightly disappointed with Marjorie's recent pivot.
I think that she was slightly, she felt slightly burned that people didn't support her ambitions for higher office.
She says that's not the case.
But she went from being the president's number one defender for six years for as long as I'd known her.
She only wanted to run for Congress to get Trump's endorsement, to be Trump's number one fan, number one cheerleader.
She loved Trump.
She loved Trump.
And so I think that she was a little.
bit slighted by the president and the team not supporting her for either governor or senator or vice
president or some other ambitions that she had. And I personally also think she got bored of
Congress. I think she went in with tremendous excitement. She wanted to go there and make a difference.
She wanted to go there and help President Trump, you know, build the wall and deport illegal aliens
and, you know, and foreign aid and do all these things.
And I think she got to Washington.
She realized a lot of those things are, you know, the president built the wall.
And he stopped illegal alien invasion in her country almost 100% since he's been in office.
But a lot of other things that she wanted to do, when you get to Congress, you realize it's almost impossible.
And you realize that you're one of 435 people and you see people on Fox News, a congressman on Fox News.
They talk a tough game.
Well, I can write this letter.
I can do this.
I can hold this person accountable.
But you realize that congressman doesn't actually have any authority.
So I think she went there, having a different understanding of how much power she could actually have and how much change she could actually make,
realized it was a system that was very difficult to change, got burned out, and it's now back to being a commentator.
Well, there's never been a better time to sign up for Dutch pet.
That's because we have news in the world of dogs, which we follow closely.
The return of new world screw worm has shelters debating whether they should euthanize kill thousands of.
cats and dogs. The New World Screw Worm is a parasitic fly that feeds on warm-blooded animals,
and public health authorities are searching for ways to contain the disease as it spreads.
One of the story's main takeaways is that now is a good time to bring your dog to the vet,
but a lot of people can't because vet bills are totally out of control because private equity is
buying up all the local veterinarians. Prices have doubled. We did a whole podcast on this.

Investing has risks like the loss of principle.
I think there's probably a lot of, I don't know, not my job to speak for her.
I think it's obviously true that she was frustrated as hell by Congress because it's frustrating
as hell.
I don't think she liked the leadership at all.
She said that while she was there.
She loved Trump.
There's no doubt about that.
They also had substantive, not fake, but substantive policy disagreements that are just real.
There's no way around that.
On the war on Epstein, those are real things.
And I think you can make a case for, you know, everyone's individual perspective.
But I also think it's fair to say we just disagree.
Yeah.
And they do disagree.
Well, I think so you asked me how we took Marjorie from 2,800,000.
Well, how does the process work?
Not just Marjorie, but like how does the process work?
So I wanted to explain that to you.
So with Marjorie, for example, she pushed the limits.
You know, she, she, the most viral ad that we did for her, that campaign cycle,
She was standing on her front porch in Georgia
right after the Antifa riots broke out
in the summer of 2020.
And Marjorie, you know, she was early 40s,
you know, little blonde girl
standing on her porch with a gun
and she says, my message to Antifa terrorists
stay the hell out of Northwest Georgia
and she loads a gun.
That was filmed on a cell phone,
might have spent 10 minutes producing the whole thing,
that that video went bonkers,
tens of millions of views.
And then this was in the pre-Elon era of Twitter.
And Twitter banned the video for promoting violence.
Facebook banned it.
But then Fox, actually, to their credit,
they showed the censorship of that was happening to Marjorie
on the social media platform.
So she was on Fox and Friends that next morning.
She was on late night.
She was primetime Fox later that day.
She got her accounts back.
And she gained like 300,000 followers off of one moment.
Yeah, I was involved.
I remember.
And so she was, and then a lot of right-wing accounts started defending her.
This is terrible.
Go follow Marjorie Taylor Green.
Go support Marjorie Taylor Green.
And these are all mega people.
These are all President Trump supporters.
These are all mega people.
And I think that's why so many people are frustrated by, by,
her pivot.
And yes, you can have policy disagreements,
but I think there's a difference between having policy disagreements
than making accusations.
And she's not the only one.
These people accusing the president.
Well, I mean, hold on.
I mean, I love Marjorie.
So, I mean, and that's well known.
I love Marjorie.
Taylor Green, and I think she's a sincere person.
I don't understand every nuance.
But I do think it's an, we don't have to, like, come up with,
we can, like, understand people's motives as they explain them.
And she's like, I, you know, I think you should be doing this.
administration thinks they should be doing that and like that's fair no sure i definitely agree i
definitely agree that that's fair but then there's the extra there's the extracurriculars there's the
and it's not marjorie i don't actually speak on marjorie for this but there's a lot of these people
who used to be trump fans and they were up there were trump fans up until nine months ago
10 months ago and they use the epstein thing as the pretext of why they're no longer trump fans and i think
that's incredibly unfair i think the president is the only reason we have epstein files
Trump's administration in the first term arrested Jeffrey Epstein.
You know, he put him in bars, behind bars.
He put him in jail.
And yes, he died in jail.
Do I think it was a suicide?
You know, I'm probably with the internet on this one.
But the president arrested him.
He took him off the street so he couldn't hurt any more people.
And then he campaigned in 2024 and people said, oh, well, Trump campaigned on the Epstein
files.
Actually, he didn't campaign on that.
he was asked by Lex Friedman, interesting character.
He said, will you release the Epstein files?
Trump said, yeah, I'd be inclined to do so.
And then he did it.
And guys like Thomas Massey like to take the credit for the release of the Epstein files.
But during four years of Joe Biden, the Biden Department of Justice was sitting on these files.
How many times did Massey tweet about Epstein?
Zero.
Not a single time for four years of Biden.
And so a lot of people see, you know, some of these guys now, and Massey's never like,
the president. Like, Trump endorsing against Massey in this election isn't the response to him being
critical of Epstein. Trump endorsed against Massey in 2020. Trump's never liked Massey. And,
you know, he's an acquired taste. Not everybody likes Thomas Massey. Right. But it wasn't a response.
He didn't lash out at Massey and endorse this guy against him because of the Epstein files.
He's never liked Massey. Massey's always been a thorn in some capacity. And, and, and, and, and, and,
So there was no cover up.
And I think people who suggest that there was a cover up are not being honest.
Could you disagree with the messaging rollout, the media rollout, the former Attorney General strategy around it?
Absolutely.
I wasn't particularly thrilled about the binders.
Nobody know what the hell the binders came from, all right?
But the president did not participate in any cover up.
In fact, he's the only reason that these documents are out.
and he's also exonerated by it.
There's three million documents that have been released.
Not a single person can point to, oh, Donald Trump did something wrong.
You know, the people who did do something wrong or appear to have done something wrong are guys like Reed Hoffman.
Would I like the Department of Justice to go after Reed Hoffman?
Yeah, I probably would.
How about just call him in for questioning?
I would support that, absolutely.
I wonder why that hasn't happened.
Well, maybe it will.
Maybe it will.
But I think that, I think that the, I think giving control of the government process to a handful of hysterics on social media is bad.
I think it was bad for Epstein.
With Epstein files, I think it's bad right now for all of the hawks who are continuing to press the administration to continue the war.
I agree with that.
I would also say, though, that the, that the Attorney General at the time, Pam Bondi gave an interview on Fox in which she said,
I have thousands of files on my desk that show sexual abuse of kids.
She said that.
That's the Attorney General of the United States.
And I've always liked Pam Bondi.
It's not personal.
But the Attorney General says that and then no one gets indicted for it.
You're like, you're the Attorney General.
You're the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the Nation.
What the hell are you talking about?
I didn't hear the sexual abuse of kids part, but I did hear her say that I have these documents on my desk.
Should she have said?
Thousands.
Should she have said that?
You know, probably not.
Or maybe she should say it.
By the way, I was glad that she said it.
It wasn't that she said it.
I want more disclosure.
I want to know what the government is doing.
That's my right since I own the freaking government, not Pam Bondi.
I'm a citizen.
But anyway, I just, where's the follow-up?
If you have the evidence, you told us you had the evidence, where are the arrests?
Well, it's a great question, you know, and I think that a lot of people are asking the same thing.
But the accusation that the president was involved in a nefarious coverup, that's completely ludicrous.
I think people like Rita Hoffman should absolutely be brought in for questioning.
And perhaps it will happen.
I think Reid Hoffman is one of the worst characters in America, not just for that.
He was also a financier of E. Jean Carroll, if you remember her, the woman who accused President
Trump of, you know, harassing her in the 80s or 90s.
Well, I'm pretty sure, I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure that he helped suck me into a
lawsuit I had nothing to do with and tried to destroy my life.
I've never met the guy.
I got nothing to do with him.
I was just giving opinions he doesn't like so.
I get it.
But look, if you want people to trust the government, we need more disclosure, more follow-up.
I mean, that's true of every administration, including this one.
And, like, I don't know.
From my perspective, it's the war.
It's the war that I talked to Trump multiple times about Epstein.
My advice to him, which he ignored, was this has really nothing to do with you.
It's like, Reid Hoffman, reassure people by, like, bringing the guilty to justice, or at least in
investigating in a transparent way. It didn't happen. But I didn't really say anything about it in
public. It was the war that just absolutely distressed me. And I've talked about it way, probably
too much already. But when Trump, you know, ate this, you know, basically said, we're going to do
things we don't want to do because it's in the best interest of the country, this MOU. No one wants the
MOU, but it's better than the alternative. I admired that. I said so. And I immediately see these people
who were like Trump's best friends, true MAGA people,
like Mark Levin and the rest, like, they're the true MAGA.
You can't get anywhere near MAGA.
You know what MAGA is.
Like, okay, son.
All of a sudden, they're like,
Trump's a bigot or whatever.
You know what I mean?
Or J.D. Vance is an anti-Semite.
That's where, you know, I was like,
I thought that was most interesting thing I've ever seen.
Yeah, it was certainly coordinated, absolutely.
So by whom?
It's a good question.
There's people that certainly speculate.
And look, I think Mark Levin,
I think he's friends with the president.
And maybe he's friends with the president.
But Mark Levin was a guy.
I don't think Trump likes Mark Levin at all.
Mark Levin was somebody who opposed Trump in 2016.
Yeah.
He actually encouraged his audience in 2016 to stay home.
Don't vote in the general election.
He was a DeSanta supporter in 2024.
So he's not like this ultra-Maga guy.
And so it's a little frustrating.
Look, I've disagreed strong.
with many statements that you've made recently.
And so all these coordinated accounts, right,
they're saying, Alex, you call out Mark Levin,
but you don't call out Tucker.
Why?
And to be honest, I think that's kind of a fair point.
You've criticized the president.
And I haven't called you out.
And I haven't called you out for a couple of reasons.
Call me out.
On social media, because I know you personally.
Yeah.
I'd rather have a conversation with you
about what I disagree,
where I disagree on in person
rather than being a keyboard warrior.
I don't know Mark Levin personally.
So I have a philosophy in my life.
If I don't know you personally,
I can hit you on social media.
If I don't, I'll have a conversation to your face.
I generally agree with that.
So, you know, early on, when the war started,
there was predictions by some voices, including you,
that striking Iran could lead to World War III.
You know, voices like Ian Carroll,
who's also been on the program,
predicted that we put ground troops in Iran by now.
Those predictions haven't materialized.
And so I think, you know,
saying that, it would be important to the audience.
I think there's a lot of hysterics on both sides of the issue.
Early on, it was...
The president threatened to eliminate the civilization of Iran,
so that would qualify as World War III.
He threatened to put ground troops on the Kark Island and mainland Iran many, many, many times
on true social.
I've been reading it for three months.
None of that happened.
I'm so grateful.
I'm not a...
I don't care.
I don't...
But I'll just say it didn't happen because it...
It didn't not happen because of pushback of voices like Ian Carroll.
And then they come out and they take a victory lap and say, see, you know, we prevented this from that.
Nobody's listening to the grifters on the pro-war side or the anti-war side.
Well, let me just correct the record and say, I'm under no illusions about my power.
I don't seem to have any power to change any event.
Unfortunately.
No, I think you have a very powerful voice.
No, I don't.
No, I argued with Trump for a, you know,
10 years against doing this.
He took other counsel.
That shows you how much power I have zero.
And so I was not able to prevent this.
And I don't think I had any role in ending it.
So I just want you to know, like I don't think I had any effect.
But I just think that, I just think that the hysterics started off as being the anti-war hysterics.
And maybe they had reason to be, you know, the president's position on Iran, I don't believe has changed.
for 30 years you can find statements of him saying Iran should never have a nuclear weapon
in 90 days he delivered on that promise he struck him okay 90 days later MOU says Iran will not
seek nuclear enrichment he never wanted to a forever war he never was going to put boots on
the ground if he has to I'm sure he will but I don't think we have to um but but his position hasn't
changed he also is against forever wars he's always been against forever wars so I think that
doing a quick military excursion is different than, obviously, Iraq and Afghanistan and what the neocons' fever dream is.
You know, Mark Levin probably wants to send a million American troops.
There's no doubt about it.
And, you know, the president is not about that.
And so I think there was a lot of hysterics who just didn't know, they don't know who the president is,
and they're acting like he was inconsistent in those positions when I don't think he actually was.

Can I ask you, so it was a year ago that the president and Levin were at some event,
and Levin goes and basically puts him in a headlock.
Donald Trump is much large, a big man, Levin is a dwarfish man.
So he kind of leans up and pulls him down like that.
And the president, well, first of all, he's the president, okay.
Second, he's famously not the guy you put in a headlock, he's not into it.
Or it's just not into it.
Yeah.
And Levin does that.
And so, and the message, of course, is like, you know, you're my boy.
I control you, right?
I was disgusted by it.
But whatever.
That happens.
And so you look at it and you're like, okay.
And then Trump tweets like, if you want to get the real truth, watch Mark Levins lowly rated show on Fox Weekends.
And so all of a sudden, he just like pivots in one day and starts saying things that are true, in my view, brave.
I'm cheering Trump when he says this and he's like, oh, we're out.
This is too much.
Can't deal with it.
We're going to run out of oil.
You're not going to be able to get gasoline.
Like, that's terrible for America.
We're stopping.
What caused that change?
I believe he felt the mission was accomplished.
And it goes back to the fact that he is not somebody who wants forever wars.
He's not somebody who wants forever conflict.
He felt that he was able to deliver on his campaign promise of preventing Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon
in a little over 90 days.
And we have the Iranians now at the table
negotiating a deal with J.D. Vans and our team.
And I think the president is happy
where things lay.
And now he's, now people on, you know, Mark Levine crowd,
who were the president's biggest cheerleaders
are now opposed to what he's doing
because they have different,
they have a different agenda for Iran.
They have a different vision for how to,
handle Iran. And I think that's wrong. But the president's position has been consistent for,
you can find videos of him in 1987 saying Iran should never have a nuclear weapon. And he was given
certain intelligence, how to take it out, and he did. And he eliminated their Navy.
That intelligence did not come from the United States. He eliminated the Navy. He eliminated their
Air Force. And he has got them at the table to ensure that they never have a nuclear weapon.
But this was my complaint for the beginning. And I'm not here.
here to defend the IC, our 18 intelligence agencies, but like, there was no American intelligence
that said Iran was on the brink of building a nuclear weapon. That came from Israel, and they lie,
and they lied to Trump. And I told him that, you know, before this started, because it was obvious.
So, like, why would the United States ever rely on Israeli intelligence again if they just lied us
into a war that got a bunch of Americans killed and that raised gas prices?
It's very sad to see the loss of the soldiers live.
And I know the president was certainly upset about that.
Look, I think that, you know, the president accomplished his goal there.
And with the MOU, I think people are confident we're in a good spot.
I think the president obviously will reserve the right to respond again with military action
if he feels like things are going sideways.
But look, I think the president is now focused, the president is focused on domestic issues,
lowering gas prices, lowering economic prices, bring job opportunities back home.
I think the foreign excursions have been successful, and now it's time to focus on home.
You know, on the Israeli points again, like, I think this proves that the president isn't a slave to Israel.
Apparently, or he's broken free.
He's broken his fetters.
You know, I don't think.
Which I support.
I don't think the president was ever a slave to Israel.
And I think characterizing as that was not fair.
You know, I'm friends with, eight years ago, I became friends with Bibi Netanyahu, Son, Yair.
Yeah.
He's a nice guy.
There was a moment in time.
Is he fighting in Lebanon right now?
I actually haven't talked to him in a while, maybe.
Oh, I think he's in Miami, but whatever.
Okay.
I don't think he's in Miami.
I invited him to my wedding.
So for the people who call me anti-Semitic, I invited the prime minister.
They're calling you anti-Semitic now.
So I invite the prime minister.
of Israel's son to my wedding because, you know, and he's a friend of mine. Yeah. But there was a
moment in time where, I know him for the record. The president after the 2020 election and,
you know, didn't have a great relationship with Beebe. Bibi was the first world leader to congratulate
Joe Biden. I remember. After the rigged 2020 election. And I think that's made people feel,
you know, a little bit different about that.
relationship. The president now is a great working relationship with him, but he's certainly not a
slave to BB or a slave to Israel. And I think people who suggest that are not being fair.
Look, I've been unfair many times in my life, and I've overstated things dramatically many times,
and I certainly have been mean, and I really regret that. So I just want to offer another blanket
apology for my bad behavior. Those are my main sins. But I still don't get it.
why if no one in your cabinet is enthusiastic about this,
no one in your intel services says,
yes, they're on the brink of, like, sending a nuclear-tipped ICBM into Miami.
If all of them, like, that's not true, you turn and you take Israeli intelligence,
which is like fraudulent, obviously fraudulent, and act on that.
What is that?
It also goes back to instincts.
Again, the president has been on this position for 30 years.
But we had a war in June that he said ended the Iran nuclear program.
I talked to him constantly about that.
And he's like, no, no, we're done.
We're done.
And then a few months later, we're, like, ramping up for another war.
And I was like, well, I thought we eliminated that.
Well.
You can see why I'd be mystified.
Sure.
Slavery was the most obvious explanation, but maybe I'm wrong.
It's certainly not slavery.
It's certainly not slavery.
I think it's the president's instincts and the president, the president wanted to do it.
And so he did it.
And, you know, there's this report that he's telling people, I'm president and you're not, right?
Yeah.
You know, you have people on your team.
Sometimes you listen to them.
Sometimes you don't.
Sometimes you take their, you want their opinion.
Sometimes you don't.
And, you know, you do it with your show.
I do it with my company.
I totally agree.
Well, that's clearly true.
It was the president's instincts.
It certainly wasn't blackmail related to Epstein.
It certainly wasn't being a slave to a foreign country.
So I think that.
But I felt that I respect Trump's instincts.
They made him president twice.
He's had an amazing life.
And I think it's been on the basis of his.
instincts. So I have maximum respect for Trump's instincts and for his understanding of people
and for power dynamics. Like the guy has got like x-ray vision. He's not good on details sometimes,
but he's incredibly precise in his big picture understanding of people. And I felt that he went
against his own instincts in launching this war. He knew the risks. He's not, you know, he's not a
crazy risk taker, actually. He talks a big game. This is my analysis anyway. But he's not actually
that reckless. Really, I mean, he's been successful. You can, you know, he's not a crazy risk taker, actually.
can't live for 80 years and be that reckless, right? This was really reckless. And I felt that
he didn't want to do it. I can't read his soul. Like, maybe he really secretly did want to do it.
That was definitely not my impression, having talked to him a lot about it. So then I'm like,
okay, you didn't want to do it. No one around you wanted to do it. Why'd you do it?
I believe the president did want to eliminate their nuclear capabilities. And he also eliminated
their ability to have a Navy and an Air Force and a missile program. So, you know, he, he did
And now the excursion, I don't even like to call it a war because it was a 90-day blip.
And yes, we sadly lost some lives and God rest their souls.
But the excursion, as, you know, it appears to be coming to an end.
And I can't imagine that these hysterical voices on social media are going to prolong it.
So.
Yeah, I mean, that's really it.
I mean, I've given my, we differ in our analysis of the war.
but I don't want to argue about it.
What I want to understand is how public opinion on the question is shaped,
and you're one of the experts on this topic.
We'll love to dive in on this one.
Okay, so, and by the way, if you ever discover that anti-war sentiment
is being funded by a foreign power, text me,
because I'd love to know who's paying for it,
how I can get on that payroll.
I think you're doing okay.
This studio's great.
It's so funny.
This is our, we had this long before the show.
This is just our family barn.
But, so there's that.
But I certainly, the, let's prolong the war on behalf of the Netanyahu regime,
that does seem to be funded by somebody because that's not an organic position in the United States.
There's not, as you said, 67% in favor of the MOU.
So like there's a groundswell of public support for following this lunatic path even further.
So who is paying for that?
That's a great question.
And getting foreign influence out of the political ecosystem, specifically online, it's a passion project of mine.
Yeah.
You know, I am Trump's social media guy.
That's when I'm branded in the press.
Yeah.
So you can only imagine the type of money that these countries and other companies have tried to throw at me.
I do not take any foreign money.
I don't take any money from the Gulf countries.
I don't take any money from India.
I don't take any money from Russia, China, no foreign countries.
How much did you make if you wanted to?
I've probably rejected close to $20 million in contracts over the last 15 months.
Damn.
Yeah.
How old are you?
I'm 29.
That takes some restraint.
So, you know, it's, I've had some, I've had a really interesting career.
I've made some money.
I made no money.
I made, you know, and I'm not really focused on money.
and I think that's what separates me
from a lot of my colleagues
or competitors, if you will, in Washington.
However, I've actually never shared this publicly.
In June of 2025, mid-June,
shortly after the first Iran strike happened,
I got a message from a friend,
and he texted me when I was at an airplane.
He said, Alex, great news from Israel.
And I want to read the message
so I don't, so I don't butcher anything that was said.
At 247 on June 16, 2025,
good news from Israel.
They have budget for the American market
to make a strategy and social network against Iran.
I talked about you and they want to work with you.
It is through a foundation.
Call me when you can and I'll tell you all of the details.
I said, I appreciate you thinking of me, likely can't get involved with this one.
Good for you.
So what's in your toothpaste?
If you're using the brand you grew up with, you probably don't want to know.
The ingredients likely include fluoride, something called SLS, glycerin, foaming agents.
It's a chemical cocktail.
Van Man's toothpaste is different.
Their miracle tooth powder is changing everything,
and people are ditching traditional toothpaste filled with chemicals by the thousands.
Fanman's tooth powder uses ingredients with the same mineral structure as your teeth that remineralizes them and strengthens your enamel naturally.
No fluoride at all and totally edible.
You could put it on toast.
Not that you'd want to, but you could.
People who use or report wetter teeth, less plaque.
They wake up without that gross film on their gums.
And here's the amazing part.
Vivid dreams are back.
You dream clearly when you stop coating your mouth in fluoride every night.
Did you know that?
Pretty amazing.
It tells you a lot.
So make the switch.
Visit van man.

Vanman.
dot shop slash Tucker,
using the code Tucker,

Van Man, real ingredients,
zero exceptions.
So in June of 2025,
it is documented
that an Israeli foundation
wanted to hire me
an American social media strategist.
Trump's social media strategist
to help disseminate
information related to Iran.
I never got on the phone call,
so I don't know exactly what they were looking to get amplified,
but I didn't do it.
What was the foundation? Do you know?
The foundation was never specified.
However, two months later,
an organization ran run by President Trump's
former digital guy who the president hasn't talked to
in six plus years, Brad Parscale,
ended up filing a FAR contract with the state of Israel for $1.5 million a month.
A month?
A month.
Which in comparison, Brian Ballard, who is potentially the top lobbyist in Washington, D.C., charges the country of Saudi Arabia $60,000 a month.
Brad Parscale has no experience being a lobbyist, and he certainly isn't.
selling access to the president because the guy's got zero access to the president.
So two months after I was reached out to to work on an Israeli social media campaign related to
Iran, Brad gets this social media contract with Israel, paid through by a German entity called
Havis Media Group. And I'm going to read you a part of Brad's initial
Farah filing related to his deliverables for this particular contract.
It says, quote, production and delivery of a minimum of 100 root creative assets per month,
spanning video, audio, graphic, and written formats.
Creation of 5,000 monthly variance of creative.
At least 80% of content is tailored to Gen Z.
audiences across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant
digital and broadcast outlets.
Integration of narrative messaging into Salem Media Network Properties and Align Distribution
Channels.
And then lastly on this section, paid media campaigns delivering a minimum of 50 million
impressions per month with a target average CPM under USD $2 across the combined budget pool.
So that's what the FAR filing says.
Wow.
That's what it says.
And so that means that the Israeli government is paying Brad Parsecal to spread its propaganda
in the United States through various vectors, most of whom are MAGA influencer types.
so it doesn't specify mega influencer types actually in that contract.
I just don't know what he's getting paid $1.5 million a month for.
And actually the most recent report that I saw on Twitter, on X, sorry,
sorry for dead naming it.
It's very offensive.
Let's see.
This was reported by a gentleman named Nick Cleveland Stout.
Never heard of this guy.
But he sent an updated filing that he found from,
that shows the Israeli government is now paying
former Trump campaign manager
and Salem Media Executive Brad Parscale
$46 million in one year.
And he also adds,
for some perspective,
Saudi Arabia pays Ballard,
one of the most connected firms
in Trump's Washington, 60,000 a month.
46 million?
That's what it says.
So who's on Salem Media Network?
Well, so I don't want to speculate
or accuse anybody.
No, I just want, because the fair filing says,
But we'll disseminate our propaganda through Salem.
So I just,
that's what it says, right?
Yeah.
So Josh Hammer.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with him.
He's a very,
um,
he's got a very low rated podcast.
He's,
uh,
I think he's a columnist.
He was a big,
he was,
Josh Hammer until that he started hassling Charlie Kirk,
but yeah,
he was a big DeSantis supporter.
He's at Salem Media Network.
He's one of the loudest critics against the Iran more.
You have people like Larry Elder,
which is surprising,
you know,
because Larry Elder is typically a pro-Trump cheerleader.
He's been very critical of the Iran War.
There's a lot of other these radio hosts who are syndicated on Salem who have been opposed.
Hugh Hewitt, obviously.
But Hugh, you know, Hughes always appreciate war, to be honest.
So I don't think his positions have changed.
So it says right there in the contract in this initial filing that he's integrating messaging into Salem properties.
Salem also owns Red State, Town Hall, Podcast Network.
They also have an influencer network.
So, like, I would love to know what Brad is actually doing with this money.
You know, there's, you know, there's, I know certainly the part of the project is to help coach AI chatbots into being more pro-Israel, less anti-Semitic.
And, you know, look, I think the anti-S, I think there has been a rise of anti-Semitic.
Semitism in the country. You wouldn't disagree with me. I think anti-Semitism is high. It's wrong.
You know, I see some incidents in Brooklyn. I think it's wrong. I think hate against any religious group.
I couldn't agree more. I've said that many times. So I'm not opposed to...
Opposing BB's foreign policy is not anti-Semitism. I'm not opposed to Brad getting paid to combat
anti-Semitism. But what does that mean? Well, that's it. What does that mean?
What are the deliverables... When anti-white hate is encoded in the U.S. legal code,
when hate against white men is like the foundational fact of college admissions, federal contracting,
hiring, and we're spending all of our time worried about whether people are being rude to Bill Ackman.
Like, this is just a misalignment.
This is not reality.
So I also want to just add for context to the viewers and the people are going to clip this,
that Israel isn't the only country that has paid for influencer support in America.
I'm sure that's right.
Ukraine has paid a ton.
You know, there was recently a field trip with a bunch of right-wing influencers, if you will, who visited Russia.
So I don't think that they paid for that trip out of their own pocket.
I don't know.
And so, you know, they went to Russia.
They go hang out with the Russians and whatever.
I don't have, I don't pay your own.
I don't have particular issues with people visiting a country.
Right.
My issues lie in, do you visit the country and then change the way you speak about the country or use your platform to talk about the country?
You know, Qatar had a similar situation during December.
Some influencers who used to be opponents to Qatar, they flew to Qatar in December,
and then they did some beautiful posts about Qatar.
I also think that's wrong.
My position is if it's Israel, if it's Qatar, if it's Russia, if it's China, if it's India,
you should not be able to pay.
I don't think Qatar paid the influencers.
I think they came on a trip, and then they posted nice things about the country.
I still think there should be some level of disclosure around that.
I don't care what country it is.
You should be disclosing if you are in any way, shape, or form promoting the interests of another different country.
I think that's right.
My focus recently has been on Israel because of this massive contract that they've engaged in with Brad,
then nobody knows what the hell he's doing with the $46 million.
So I texted him to find out because a lot of that money is going to.
attacking me and my family, which obviously I resent, though I'm trying to think about it too much.
Don't want to become what they call you. But anyway, he never, I know Brad, Parskell, I've always felt
sorry for him. Yeah. I still do. He's a troubled man. But I did think he would at least respond
to my text. He didn't. Yeah. So have you called him? No, I haven't called him and he hasn't called
me. He responded to one of my tweets. He responded to my tweets saying that, because I asked him,
I said, hey, Brad, like, what's up with this? Why are so many Salem media?
personalities trashing President Trump's war.
Here's
defarifiling
saying that you're going to
integrate messaging
into Salem media properties.
And Brad responded, you know,
Brad responded to me
and he said,
Alex, I actually wanted to thank you for bringing
this up. I don't know who
pissed in your Cheerios this morning, but what
you're looking at was an original draft,
not what happened. We never
executed that plan.
We never paid hosts or influencers to say anything.
That's the beauty of FARA, the receipts exist.
Well, the only receipt that exists right now is Brad's initial contract,
where it says, point blank, we're going to integrate messaging.
So he's saying he's not doing it.
So what is he doing with this $46 million?
And you're in this business.
Obviously, you're one of the most famous people in the business.
You may be the most famous person in the business.
Have you ever heard of anybody getting 46?
million from a single client.
No, and even his 1.5 million a month
as initial FARA filing, I believe, is the
single largest FARA
single FARA filing
for one entity in history.
Really? I have no perspective.
So, okay, so that's crazy.
If you ask chat GPT or whatever chat platform
you use, I prefer GROC to be honest.
Yes.
Because I trust Elon more than I trust Altman.
But I ask
GROC, what's the largest
farafiling for one entity to date?
and it came back with some $9 million contract that I think Nigeria paid.
I don't know what the hell Nigeria needs to do, but they paid it.
So one country, $9 million.
Brad's initial contract, $1.5 million a month.
You do the math.
Was that $15 million a year?
Now it's up to $46 million according to a recent report.
And again, they're not paying him for his relationships in the White House.
I don't think Brad Parscale could get a meeting in the West Wing to save his life,
specifically not in the Oval Office.
You know, I don't think people still remember
what he did during the 2020 election, okay?
And, but he's going around different countries,
and if you pull up his website, it's called clocktowerx.com,
he spells out exactly the services that his company offers.
And so, you know, I think that he should clear the air
on the services that he's providing for these foreign countries.
I'm going to go to his website right now, clocktowerx.com.
It starts off with a header that says narrative infrastructure.
The system already shapes what people believe.
We help determine who prevails.
Elections, narratives, markets, we don't react.
We shape the conditions they operate in.
Talks about how they've had $2 billion plus in influenced outcomes.
No clue what that means.
It says that they work in 10 plus countries.
They're deployed in 10 plus countries.
Then it says if you've heard about our work, it wasn't ours.
And then it gets into some of the services that they offer.
They offer narrative intelligence, continuous monitoring of the information landscape
to identify leverage points before competitors,
audience segmentation, behavioral mapping across millions of data points
to identify the nodes that move markets, message testing.
Here's one.
Influencer ecosystems.
manage networks that amplify narratives
through credible distributed voices.
That's on this guy's website
that he gets paid millions and millions of dollars.
46 million.
Yeah.
So right there on his website,
influencer ecosystems.
So I think Brad should,
you know,
if he's doing it,
I think it's wrong.
I can't say for definitively
that he's doing it,
but these are the services
that are offered on the website,
cross-channel distribution,
performance analytics,
you know,
And so right there.
Well, I must say I've noticed that every Salem media property that I'm aware of has the same view.
You know, more war is good.
I'm an anti-Semite.
Both those are two lies, by the way, not an anti-Semite and war is not good.
You're an anti-Semite.
They all have the same view.
Now, maybe it's just that every Salem host or influencer or whatever they're calling themselves is like crazy in exactly the same way.
but maybe there's more to it than that.
Maybe.
Maybe.
And a lot of these same influencers have been, you know, organized against you
for the last couple, for like the last year, consistently against you for the last year.
A lot of these, these one account, for example, named Yale Yacobi.
I'm not sure, you probably have never heard of this kid.
But all he does every day is he tweets about you.
the only time I see any of your clips
are on the accounts of people attacking you.
Really?
I don't watch, you know, similar to you,
I don't really watch podcasts.
Yeah.
You know, but the only time I see people's clips
are people attacking you.
Your clips are when people are attacking you.
Yol Ya Kobe, I was looking this morning.
Who is he?
You know, just some influencer, if you will.
And these are non-influential influencers,
I call them.
But he certainly is involved in he's certainly been paid for some of his tweets.
Do I know that he's been paid for tweets against you or against the Iran war?
I can't say that for certain.
But he was not honest.
He's not honest about tweets that he is paid for.
And then, and so would I be shocked if he was paid for some of?
I don't know.
But he's tweeted about you probably.
1200 times.
Seriously?
Yes.
In the last eight months.
All complimenter?
No, no.
All negative, unfortunately for you.
But, you know, and look, I agree with some of his criticism.
I don't think it's, but I don't see it organic.
People, you know, he's one of the loudest voices who keeps tagging me in posts.
Alex, you criticize Mark Levint.
Why don't you criticize Tucker?
Well, I criticize you to your face here.
Yeah.
But you hurt me, man.
But all of these social media accounts that have been targeting you are not targeting me.
And they were targeting JD Vance when he appeared on Megan Kelly's show.
Because, oh, how dare you go on Megan Kelly's show?
That's what they said.
So slowing down happens gradually.
You work hard, show up for your family.
But slowly but surely your energy dissipates.
You feel tired.
People often hear that this is a byproduct of just getting older, meaning you should just live with it.
That's not true, actually.

Isn't this exactly why we all voted for Trump in 2016,
2020, and 2024 because we don't like cancel culture?
The idea that if I don't like you,
no one is allowed to talk to you, that's a left-wing idea, or I thought it was.
It turns out it's like a human idea, but I reject it just the same.
But Trump was elected in November of 2024.
That was like 20 minutes ago.
Yeah.
And within just months, all of a sudden you had the Josh Hammers of the world who I'd never even
heard of saying that if I don't like somebody, nobody's allowed to talk to him because he's got
naughty intentions or he's a bigot of some kind or whatever.
How is that any different from screaming racist?
You're right.
It's the same thing.
Right.
And that's why I'm here.
because, you know.
But are you shocked by this, though?
No.
What the hell?
Yeah.
I mean, these people aren't the most honest dealers and brokers.
You know, I'll say this.
One of the people who's been the loudest on this issue is actually a friend of mine,
Laura Lumer.
I have not liked seeing a lot of the vitriolic messages towards Lumer, people calling her,
you know, mean names.
I know that she dishes it out as well, but she's a friend of mine.
And during the 2024 election, everybody kept telling us disavow Lumer, disavow Lumer.
She's bad news, disavowal.
I wouldn't.
And they would put pressure on me.
Are you friends with Laura Lumer?
I'd say, yes, I am.
Oh, do you think she's trouble?
No, I think she's actually a very good ally to us when she's focused.
And so I would never disavow Lumer.
Similar, I would never disavow you because you've been good to me.
I consider you a friend.
It's okay to have different opinions.
I think telling people that they shouldn't have conversations with people
or telling people that you should disavow someone,
I'm not about that life.
Not just telling, but demanding,
that it's the price of your good name,
that how dare you talk to this person,
have dinner with this person,
and if I find out that you do, I'm going to hurt you.
That's the definition of witch hunt.
That's what the George Floyd era was about.
That's Black Lives Matter.
That's everything I despise.
and to see it happen among people I know
who I thought I agreed with
is like the most shocking thing that's ever happened to me
since when did all the neocons
just become flat out like college level liberals
they have that way for at least my entire adult life
I guess you're right
this is a process of me losing my name to tell
those particular characters
but no I won't disavow Lumer
I won't criticize Lumer
even if I disagree with her
I'm not going to take to Twitter and say, hey, Lumer, I think you're off base and, you know, you're wrong, wrong, wrong. Same with you. Like, if I have an issue with you. For the record, I would never attack someone's family or daughter-in-law. Yeah. So I think that that, I just want to say in reference to no one in particular. Yeah. That attacking people's families for crimes they had nothing to do with, just because they're related to someone, suggests a view of the world based on blood guilt, which is not a Christian view. It's disgusting. It's a North Korean view. We don't, we don't.
punish people's families.
Yeah, I think that's, I think those are low.
And, you know, I was actually a big defender of Buckley when he was facing some of those
attacks.
But just like not having anything to do with me or my family, just in general, as a
principle, because what matters are principles.
It's not about what you do to me.
It's about what you do or what I do.
We're all held to the same standards because there's one God.
Yeah.
And those standards apply to the Israelis and they apply to the Russians and the Ukrainians.
They apply to me.
They apply to you.
They apply to every human being, all of us created by God.
And one of the core standards is you do not.
punish the innocent ever. That is the basis of all justice. You punish people who commit crimes,
you do not punish people who don't, no matter who they're related to. The Israelis reject that
few. That's what they're doing in Gaza. They're killing people because they're Palestinian.
The North Koreans did that. I think the U.S. has done that over the year. It's always wrong.
It doesn't matter who does it. And I just feel like that is that principle, that one specific
principle is the basis of our country. That's why we welcomed all these people from random countries
We're like, you may be from a country we hate, but like, are you a good person?
That's all that matters.
It's the content of your character that matters.
And if we give that up on the right, then the whole country is gone.
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, I'm strongly against targeting innocent people and I'm targeted against targeting family members.
Yes.
And to be honest, that's why I find a lot of the attacks in Erica Kirk to be repulsive.
I totally agree.
There's a lot of people who have made a name for themselves in social media by spreading certain theories about.
Erica and I think Erica is a good person.
She's a friend of mine.
I've known Erica for almost as long as she's probably known Charlie.
And I was with her a few weeks ago in Palm Beach and you can see that, you know,
the attacks affect her and they hurt her.
But she keeps moving forward.
So I think that, I think having vitriolic targets on families is certainly wrong.
Certainly you can't punish people for something they didn't do.
Yeah.
It's just that simple.
That's why segregation is wrong.
That's why the anti-white racism that dominates American life is wrong.
That's why anti-Semitism is wrong.
That's why any worldview that punishes people who didn't commit a crime is always and everywhere wrong.
And that would include attacking people's families if they didn't do anything.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
That's true.
Anyway.
That's why also, you know, like the blanket like Jew haters.
There's, you know, there's people who are critical of Israel.
And then there's people who like tweet.
things like totally anti-Jew things.
I think the anti-Jew, the Jews control everything crowd, I think they are not the brightest
as well.
Yeah, look, attacking people for things they didn't do.
It's wrong.
Period.
I would like this administration to take the anti-white stuff seriously and stop election
telling me that anti-Semitism is the biggest problem in America.
It's not.
You have a much tougher time getting into the Ivy League.
You would not know this from the behavior of the Justice Department.
if you're white than if you're Jewish.
So that's a fact.
It's provable that these numbers came out in court.
And like it's unfashionable to say that.
I don't care.
And by the way, if Jews or blacks or Filipinos or anybody
was being discriminated in the way that whites are being discriminated against,
I would be opposed to it vocally and I'm opposed to it.
Well, if you look at a lot of the job creation in our country,
a lot of the new jobs have gone to natural-born white Americans
in the Trump presidency.
Look, I don't know those numbers.
I don't know if this.
Also, I don't know if I want more Americans going to universities.
I just think all I'm saying is as a principle, this is the core principle of America,
that you are judged by who you are.
Yeah.
As a person, not by the group.
I don't think that the administration is overly prioritizing the protection of Jewish communities.
Are you joking?
I don't think that.
Are you, have you listened to Leo Terrell recently?
That's a nutcase.
That's a, that's a job.
His job?
Is there an anti-black czars, is there an anti-black racism?
Is there an anti-white racism?
are this is insane.
I think there should be, you know, maybe there should be.
How about we just treat everybody the same?
So I agree with you on that point.
But I don't think that the department...
It's just identity politics.
I don't think that the Department of Justice is,
thinks,
wakes up in the morning and thinks,
how can we personally protect Jewish Americans over?
Yes, they do.
Are you joking?
I don't think.
There's been,
they reached a settlement with the...
Look, I just want to be clear,
as clear as I've been all along
that I oppose any kind of discrimination
on religious grounds
and on secular,
humanist grounds. It's just wrong. Always. Judge the person, not the blood type. However,
they went after Harvard and Yale and Columbia and Cornell and Princeton and Dartmouth, the Ivy League
on the basis of anti-Semitism. Most extent they're anti-Semitic, they should not get federal
money. I totally agree with that. But everybody knows because it's been proven that the barrier at
those schools is being a white Christian male. Yeah. And no one mentioned. And no one mentioned.
that. So it's like, what the hell are you doing? You're telling me, I live in a world and have
for 57 years in this country where being a white male is a disadvantage in official America
in hiring, federal contracting, and school admissions. And no one says anything about it? That's fair.
That's fair. I think that obviously they've also discriminated against Asians at the...
100%, which is totally wrong. It is wrong. And I mean, David Hogg got accepted into Harvard. That's how you
know that the institution failed. All right.
Bill Ackman went to Harvard.
the guy's a moron.
Yeah.
But how do these people get into Harvard?
I think that higher education totally needs a overhaul,
and I don't encourage young people to go.
I, of course, you know, I agree with you passionately, strongly.
But I just think even more important than overhauling college
is reminding every American that you're judged on your own merits, period.
And to the extent the federal government, we have laws on the books.
We have a civil rights division that's supposed to be enforcing this,
which is not making it a priority.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
They're not.
And I got a call today from some of the administration.
We'll stop.
You know, they're doing some work.
It's like they could end it tomorrow.
We will not allow discrimination in our country, period, no matter who you are.
Whether you're black, Jewish, white, Asian doesn't matter.
And they won't do it because their donors are single-mindedly focused on one of many forms of discrimination,
which is not the most prevalent form.
So I'm pissed.
And I'm going to keep saying this until they change their ways.
Well, I'm not going to tell you to stop.
Sorry, sorry.
I was just, I had this, like, furious text exchange with some of the administration.
It's like, we're doing stuff.
I was like, this is one problem we could actually solve.
No more discrimination.
It's totally unchecked on the left, too.
They're always, like, lecturing about white men.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, the left is certainly the worst offenders at that.
Just openly racist.
Right.
They are openly racist, and they're proud of it.
And so I think that's why, you know, we're talking.
I know that you said you're leaving the Republican Party.
Yeah.
Which, you know.
I want to come back?
I understand your frustration with the party.
I have the frustration all the time as well.
I'm frustrated right now.
I'm sitting here on this podcast while the Senate refuses to pass the Save America Act.
Exactly.
That would enforce voter ID.
But we're doing.
That's not hard.
Why can't they do that?
Well, maybe they don't want to save our country.
So maybe they don't want to save our country.
But we're doing the best with-
We can ask you a question.
Why, that's such an easy one.
Yeah.
That's a priority that I strongly.
share with the administration. Like, why not have voter ID if you're going to be a country who chooses
leaders through elections? Right. I think this might be the most common sense piece of legislation
that's ever come through the Senate, but for whatever reason, there's obstruction to it. But who's
obstructing it? Do you know? Well, we have a leader in the Senate who just can't get the job done.
And maybe he can get it done, but he hasn't shown that he can get it done. And he hasn't really
made it a priority. I think this is a major priority for Republican voters. It's a major priority of
President Trump, who is the only reason that we have a Republican-controlled Senate and we have a Republican-controlled Senate.
can control Congress. And I think oftentimes Republicans forget that. And in Congress, they forget that.
The only reason the Republicans of any power in Washington, D.C. is because of Donald Trump and the
mega movement. And time and time again, Congress drops the ball. And so I hear your frustration.
That's it. Like, you vote for Republicans. They can't even get a voter ID law passed.
That's why, that's why the primaries are so important. And we're working in the primaries.
We took out Tillis. We took out Cornyn. We took out Cassidy. We're taking a,
out some of the weakest Republicans on our team. And so the primaries process is where I believe
that that people like you should be taken out your anger. I just think you've gotten behind
some of the wrong candidates. I think like James Fishback, by the way, that guy tried to scam me.
James Fishback hit me up asking me for $50,000 into an investment fund before he was
larping as a presidential governor candidate. You don't like Fishback, but I like him, but I don't
know that much about him. I just don't think that the state of Florida should be limiting the
First Amendment that God-given First Amendment rights of Floridians because Israel demands it,
which is exactly what they did. That's not acceptable under any certain. My family's been here
for like 400 years. Like, I'm not going to stand by and let that happen without saying something about
it, period. I hear you. I hear you on that. There was probably a different candidate you got behind
than Fishback because that guy's bad news and he's not an honest person. And I don't know.
And I think you have a massive platform. When you put your platform to use and with you took out,
You helped take out Dan Crenshaw.
So I thank you for that.
And President Trump didn't endorse Dan Crenshaw.
So we've used this primary.
But he didn't endorse that creepy fat guy from Florida who endorsed genocide,
who laughed at a picture of a dead child in Gaza, that disgusting.
I can't even remember his name, but he's that.
He was the only can that ran in that seat.
Why would you endorse that guy?
That's why I said you're got to be a slave to Israel.
But now we have the flip side.
You have Dan Bolzarian, right?
We have two extremes running that race, both I don't agree with.
Okay.
So we have Dan Bolzarian.
maybe one of the people who's helped bring the generosity to young men in America more than anybody.
I don't know about that.
And Randy Fine.
You know, maybe we need some, excuse me.
Maybe we need some better choices.
Florida's been a great state for a long time.
In my opinion, it's kind of hard to F Florida out.
Florida's got low.
It's totally possible.
It's got low taxes.
It's got beaches.
It's got great weather.
They get crowded and you'll destroy it.
I think, yeah.
I think that's been a major, I think that's been one issue.
Let the developers run the state.
But this is happening under DeSantis.
I agree. I completely look. And there are things about DeSantis I really like. Like, he's a very
impressive guy. I mean, you know DeSantis. There's a lot about him that's impressive. That's just a fact.
He's smarter than I am. But you have to take the big picture. Like you have to care about the people
who live in the state, not just people who send money to your campaign, whether it's A PAC, whether
worse than A PAC or the, you know, the strip mall developers and the people just want to pave the state,
like want to destroy nature to make a quick buck. Like those people are worse than A PAC, in my opinion.
I've had some conversations with some data center.
You live in Florida?
I don't think that the Floridians want it.
I don't think the Floridians want major data centers coming to their communities anymore.
But there are a lot of them already there.
And I've actually been talking to some data center developers who say,
you actually don't need that much land anymore.
And so there's a concern.
But you need a lot of water and energy.
There's concern from some of the data centers that they're overbuilding.
That, you know, in a few years from now, the technology will be better.
The energy resources will be better.
and so you're not going to need a two million square foot.
Can I see one thing about fishback, though?
Like, the effort in Florida has been to prevent fishback from back or back.
I don't think this is to show how, what close friends I am with him.
But I like the guy.
But why not just have a debate between Byron Donnells and Fishback?
That's a good question.
So voters can decide.
I would debate him.
But Byron Donald's won't because he's smoking.
Well, part of it's because he's 60 points up.
Fishbecks, I don't even think he can qualify to become governor.
No one will give him money and no one will give him a hearing.
And that's why I gave him a hearing.
I don't think that he's even qualified, like, because he's not lived in the state long enough, per my understanding.
Byron Donald's is from New York.
But he moved there 20 plus years ago.
Fishbeck was living in Washington, D.C.
Until just recently.
If you want to get into people's past.
And also.
I think actually Fishbeck is from the state.
His family's been there for a long, long time, many generations.
Byron Donald's moves to Florida and, like, immediately gets arrested on a felony charge.
So, like, that's not disqualifying, but as long as you're comparing backgrounds.
My personal, my biggest gripe with Fishback is he tried to scam me.
Personally tried to scam me out of $50,000.
I don't know anything about that.
When he was pretending to be a financial expert running different funds.
How did you know him?
I met him through Twitter, you know.
He used to be, you know.
Buyer beware, Alex.
He used to be, he used to be one of the president's biggest defenders.
Do you do a lot of your investment deals through Twitter?
No, okay.
I don't.
I don't do any of them.
However,
but he's,
but he's,
but he's,
for an investment opportunity
on Twitter,
probably no.
He was a,
he's not just a Twitter guy,
but he was a economic pundit on Fox.
He was an economic pundant on CNN.
He was the head of us,
you know,
different funds, right?
That's what he said,
a Zoria fund.
And so,
uh,
he also really wanted a job with the Trump administration.
He really wanted to go work for the Trump admin.
He wanted to be on the,
the commissioner for some agency and he asked me to advocate for him.
I'm sure there a lot.
And,
Do you want me to compare this to Byron Donald's biography, which I know a lot about?
I don't think you do.
What I'm getting the background then, what I'm getting to here is how I met Fishback and him asking me for money.
On Twitter.
In person.
Did you send him money?
No, didn't send him money.
Then we're square.
Two weeks later, though, his fund shuts down.
Yeah, well.
So maybe he's not a great fund manager.
I don't know anything about it.
My question is, what was he going to do with the $50,000?
Do you want to talk about Byron's arrest record?
When he was a child, or not a child, he was a teenager.
Not a child, actually.
He was a teenager.
No, he was not a teenager.
He was an adult.
But whatever, whatever, I don't care about that, actually.
And all I care about is, like, are you, A, committed to serving the people on whose
behalf you're going to be elected?
And two, are your ideas right?
And right for those people?
Who are you serving?
That's it.
Do you think, I'm asking you, not just Byron, if you think, if somebody got arrested when
they're 19 or 20 years old for selling weed and they're now 45?
I don't care. You don't care. No. So I'm only throwing that out because it's like,
okay, whatever. No, what I do care about it. I mean, I guess I care. I'm against weed for the
record, by the way. That's fair. But it's not even that. I do, by the way. I'm just throwing,
good for you. You know, I totally fine with medical cannabis. I don't like cannabis,
you know, recreationally. Being high all the time does not make you better. I've done it.
By the though, I smoke weed as a child a lot. It's not, come on now. So life is amazing.
experience it, you know.
But no, I was just throwing that back to be like, okay, great.
But the point is, A, we should have a democracy where the people get to decide who they vote for
and they can decide that on the basis of a maximum amount of information about those candidates.
And so why would the Republican Party of Florida be shutting down debate?
I want to hear the issues.
I don't care so much about the people.
That's why I get mad at Trump.
It's like, I like Trump.
I always like Trump.
I just like the guy.
Well, speaking of debates, one of my favorite moments ever was during the first Republican primary debate of 2024.
And, you know, we had something called counter-programming when Donald Trump sat down for an interview with a guy named Tucker Carlson.
Yeah.
Remember that?
And you guys crush the ratings.
Hundreds, millions of views on social media compared to whatever the R&C debate pulled.
Then why do they suck up to, then why?
Here's a question that I have.
I know you're not running the comm shop directly.
but like, or indirectly.
Or indirectly. You're certainly involved in thinking through messages and how to get them out there.
Fox News, like, why the emphasis on Fox News?
All these Trump employees, all appointees, all on Fox News.
It's got a tiny audience.
It's controlled by people who hate Trump, the Murdox.
I know that personally because I know them personally.
And they're like against his agenda on a core level, but no.
No one ever gets sent out to podcasts.
You're like the first Trump person who's been here in a long time.
Have you sought out anybody?
Of course.
Well, that's a good question.
But Fox News, like it's irrelevant.
Why make it relevant?
So the podcast, that's a great question.
The, you know, we had great success with the president going on podcasts.
I know.
Theo and Joe Rogan and yours and Andrew Scholes.
And I really like these guys.
And they've been critical of the admin on issues.
That's okay.
I still like him personally.
But they don't want to have.
They don't want to have a lot of the people on anymore.
They don't make enough.
They don't want to have the president down.
They haven't sought out an interview with the president.
And I'm sure if they asked, I'm sure you would do it.
But they haven't asked.
No, but it's not just about the president.
I mean, he is the president.
But also people like the admin.
Like, I think these guys like.
No, those requests got shut down.
My request got shut down.
And I was like, I felt like I had been a pretty faithful Trump supporter, certainly, like a lion-
You saw an interview with the president.
No, no, no.
I could always, I just call him directly for that.
But like, you know, the secretary of awesomeness or whatever, you have all these secretaries
in charge of things.
Let me get them on.
Nope, can't do it.
And I'm not whining.
It was fine.
My life turned out okay.
But I don't understand the emphasis on Fox News.
Like, well, sometimes it's, sometimes it's the only platform that will have us on.
Dude, that is not true.
I mean, or CNN, for example, Fox News.
Refused to have Stephen Miller on.
Okay.
Right.
That's CNN.
But again, who cares about CNN?
Nine people watch it.
Right.
I don't know.
I think that if you started inviting people on the show again, maybe they'll come.
But why just why continue to make, I mean, once Trump is gone, CNN and Fox are done.
Yeah.
They're literally done.
Without Trump to talk about no one's going to watch them, they will probably close down, literally.
And you know this better than anyone.
You're the new media guy.
Why keep them on life support?
I don't understand when they hate you.
They hate you at Fox.
They hate you at CNN.
MS probably likes you more than those two things.
Like, why do this?
Well, it's important to get the message out
and people are comfortable going on Fox, I suppose.
And a lot of the administration officials,
they have relationships there,
so they get booked there.
No, I think there's some truth in there.
It's just muscle members.
Also, a lot of the podcasters,
they don't want to interview random cabinet members.
Maybe you do,
but other podcasts in, I guess,
the podcast ecosystem,
they don't want to interview a rank-and-file Republican
can congressman or a senator or i interviewed ted cruz that was a fun interview by the way which
which you know it was for me i have disagreed with a lot of what you've said over the last you know
here one of them any any take down of ted cruz is fun for me i don't like that guy but ted cruz's
views are identical to randy fines so why is ted cruz bad but randy fine is good i don't say that
randy finds opinions are good i think ted cruz's personality is just worse than than randy finy
I do. I do. I think Ted Cruz is not a likable guy.
Well, that's obvious. And so do I agree with everything? I think Randy Finis tweeted some ugly things, really ugly things.
And his views do not represent the views of the Trump administration or my views. But I think Ted Cruz is just an unlikable guy.
And I want to share with your audience a little story. In January, a few days before my wedding, I did this Trump accounts event, which I think Trump accounts is actually one of the great programs of the Trump administration.
every baby that is born in America for the next four years gets $1,000 invested in a tax-free vehicle that they can access when they're 18.
And every year the parents can contribute to it, et cetera, et cetera.
So I did an event to help introduce this new initiative with the president was there.
And I brought a very famous rapper named Nikki Minaj.
And Nikki Minaj and I, we did a little panel on stage.
When we got off the stage, we were going to go to the White House.
house to see the president and show Nikki the Oval and have a good time.
We were walking out and all of a sudden I hear like these footsteps running down the hallway.
And I turn around and Ted Cruz and his team chasing after us.
Nicky, Nikki, Nicky, please, can we get a picture?
Can we get a picture?
It's like a nightmare scenario.
I'm like, holy shit.
This is Senator Ted Cruz who probably hasn't ran in a while.
No, not in a while.
Running down the hallway, chasing Nikki begging her for a picture like,
He was a fan girl at a concert.
And just to be fun, I said, sorry, Ted, we're out of time.
We can't do any more pictures.
His face was so pissed.
And he, like, cornered us.
He was trying to, and Nikki was like, you know, I feel bad because Nikki's now kind of collateral in this.
Because she, I mean, she doesn't know who the hell Ted Cruz is.
And so, like, I'm blocking him from getting a picture with her.
And his team's, like, try and snap angles of it and they're all blurry pictures.
But I prevented it.
And as I was leaving, one of his staffers goes,
We'll remember this, Alex Brzewitz.
And I'm like, ah, this is good.
Oh, you're on Ted's list.
I'm on Ted's list now.
But no, I think Ted's a joker.
I think that him saying his number one priority as a U.S. senator is to be a defender of a different country.
I think that was a stupid thing to say.
And I actually do think he believes it, though.
Why do you think he believes that?
That's his position.
That's his position.
I don't know why he believes it.
But I'm not a fan of Ted.
Ted still thinks in the back of his mind that one day he can be present in the United States.
I think it's going to happen.
It won't happen.
And I think I actually spoke at the Jerusalem Post Conference a couple of weeks ago.
And Ted prides himself on being Israel's number one defender.
Oh, yeah.
He loves Israel.
He's hurt Israel so badly.
I think he generally loves the country, though.
But he has hurt the country.
And I gave that speech at Jerusalem Post.
So I said, I'm here today as an ally and a supporter of Israel,
somebody who wants to see American in Israel have a strong relationship for decades to come.
I truly believe that.
And I highlighted how I think they're a great battlefield proven partner.
We've, you know, they have great technologies that also can benefit American companies, medicine, etc.
And I said, however, Israel's approval rating in America, especially with my generation, Republicans under 30, is at an all-time
low. And that's not great. And one of the reasons I think it's so low is not because necessarily
of podcasters who are anti-Israel, but because of some of Israel's most ardent supporters in the
United States, people like Senator Ted Cruz, push people away. And this was in early June,
right after there was this idea that an Iran deal was close. And nobody knew what the Iran deal was,
etc. Ted Cruz took to X and he slammed any prospects of a deal. You can't make a deal with the Iranian
regime. You can't do this. You can't do that. I'm like, dude, this guy has no idea what the hell
the deal, what's in the deal. Of course. And he's trying to get out in front of it to trash the
president and undermine the administration. And I'm looking at this guy. And if he actually wants
to help Israel, he would shut up. So I said that at the Jerusalem post conference,
mind you, these are all Jewish people with love for Israel.
They all cheered for me after I said,
Ted Cruz should shut the hell up.
Yeah.
And so if he truly loved Israel,
I think that he would be better serve,
he would better serve them by not constantly defending him on social.
I think that's a very wise point.
And it's not just Ted Cruz.
It's Mark Levin has inspired more people to join BDS than,
you know,
campus group ever.
I mean,
Mark,
Mark Levin is like a...
He's currently trying
to get me fired,
by the way.
So that's the question.
It's like,
okay,
Mark Levin,
um,
hates Trump.
He's always hated Trump.
He's worked against Trump
openly for a decade.
And then Trump does something
that he agrees with
and he's the gatekeeper
to Trump and Trump's best friend.
Now he hates Trump again and he's attacking Trump.
How long does Trump continue to be friends with the sky?
with the sky.
I don't know.
You know, the president is unique.
He can handle people who criticize him.
And, you know.
He doesn't think they're low IQ, crazy people?
Only some.
Fair.
And look.
But I don't think Mark Levine was ever the president's best friend.
You know, the president has different opinions around him.
Who's tweeting?
Well, I don't think Trump likes him.
So that's my opinion.
Essentially, he was just saying it to F with you.
You know, think about that?
That's totally possible, by the way.
That's literally possible.
So, look, I think Mark is, I think he is part of a Republican party that has been left in the past.
And they are desperately trying to remain relevant.
And they use conflicts, whether it's in the Middle East or Mark Tyson, for example, the conflict in Ukraine.
they use these issues to have a little bit of relevance to maintain their presences on on fox
news um but the people aren't with them and you see it in polling again 67% of american support
you look at mark levin's twitter feed he acts like everybody's against it nobody's against it
except for mark and his friends who are probably coordinating in their messaging and talking points
but can you ask you one last question yeah i think that's a i think it's a totally
correct analysis. And we, by the way, I fall for it. And I always try to remind myself,
Mark Levin is not a player in any affairs, global or local. He's irrelevant. And his job is just like
make me mad and suck me into his fantasy world. And like, I should just ignore this. And you clearly
have already figured that out. So good for you. Don't take debate. And I don't take debate.
So real quick, and a little ex-psychology. Yeah. I tell my clients,
the comment section.
Yeah.
Because you're not changing opinions on X.
Nobody sees something on X and go, oh, wow, I changed my mind on something.
X is a nasty place.
It's where you battle people.
It's a war of ideas.
And some people cheat in the war of ideas.
They use bots.
They use coordinated influencer campaigns.
They sometimes they cheat in the war of ideas.
but it's not a place that you should get any like you shouldn't think that's reality
because it's all manipulated i agree so and that's the final question i wanted you to unpack
you've alluded to this a couple of times you said if somebody i'm embarrassed i forgot who you're referring
to you said i know that this person oh that you're kobe kid yeah i know that this person has taken
money for other opinions and not been honest about it that's almost exactly what you said
what were you referring to?
Well, there's a few different tweets that, you know, he's posted about.
And to his credit, actually, I did see a paid partnership post underneath this one.
But in the Georgia, in the Georgia, most recent Georgia election, he was paid to go.
Country or state?
State for governor.
Yeah.
He was paid to go after this guy named Rick Jackson.
and it says
Rick Jackson brands himself
as aligned with conservative priorities
but his businesses tell a different story
DEI initiatives
diversity focused leadership and roles
supporting gender related procedures
voters should look at actions not slogans
and right at the bottom it says paid partnership
and then right above that tweet is another tweet
that's very similar in language
but he didn't say paid partnership
was he paid for it I don't know
but it certainly looks like it.
And here is the talking points
that went out by a company
that word for word
spells out what he wants,
what Yacobi ended up tweeting.
Messaging.
Rick Jackson claims to want to ban DEI.
His own company has a track record
of advancing the ideas of DEI.
So all of these influencers were sent this memo here,
as you can see.
And then I did it.
screenshot, put it side by side with Hucoby's tweets, it's verbatim.
And the company that was hired for this project just happens to be associated with Brad
Parscale.
So, you know, so it looks like you don't have evidence that this kid is working for
Brad Parscale.
No evidence of that.
I notice.
For the Iranian campaign.
For the Iranian campaign.
So I notice on those rare occasions when I like look at the stuff, because it's designed to
make you mad and limit your ability to think clearly. So I really do try and stay away from
X and cigarettes because both are just so addictive. But I break down occasionally. And I notice that
there are people who are constantly sending these long tweets about how we need endless war,
who are also promoting like some very specific kind of car insurance. Yeah. Yeah. What is that?
Yeah, that's another one. This girl, Aryan Wexler. This girl, who is this? Who is this?
That's a great question. Nobody knows. She came out of nowhere in 23, 24. What is her name? Arien.
Arien Waxler.
Arien. Yeah. Nice name. Kind of a suspicious name. I don't know about that. You know, and she's a pretty girl and
she started showing up at conservative events. And she got put, I got introduced to her on the campaign
trail. She really wanted to get involved with the Trump 24 campaign for whatever reason.
but the girl sussed me out.
You know, I'm very suspicious of people who come out of nowhere
and they have a big following almost instantly.
And but nobody knows who the hell they are, you know.
And so she really wanted to get involved with the Trump 24 campaign.
I said, no, you know, I actually never even entertained her.
And I actually texted some of my friends like, this girl, is she a fed?
You know?
And, you know, I don't know if she, I don't think she's a fed, but.
Fair question.
There's a lot of that.
But she came out of nowhere.
So, you know, she's one of your biggest critics on social media.
Mine?
One of yours, absolutely.
So back to this Wexler check, by the way, like, I did see something that you were on a podcast yesterday.
He said, you think Israel killed Charlie Carter.
I did not say that.
What was the clip that?
What was the clip then?
I said, I've never said that.
Okay.
I know a lot of people, including in the Trump administration, who think that, however.
there's no proof of that.
Yeah.
What I said was two things.
One, I don't know when the command came down
and from whom that we have to trust
everything federal law enforcement says,
but I'm not obeying that.
We have a moral obligation
to push federal law enforcement
to the job we pay them to do,
which is to investigate the crimes fully.
And so, for example,
if there are people who predicted Charlie's death on Twitter,
I think the rest of us can expect
that they've been hauled in by the FBI
for questioning, and I don't think they have been.
I don't know about that.
But I do know what you're talking about,
the Discord chat,
No, I'm talking, well, I'm specifically talking about,
and TikTok.
I'm talking about the Twitter posts that seem to predict Charlie's death.
Maybe that was, yeah, I don't know if that's been investigated.
I would love for that to be, if it hasn't.
So that's number one.
Number two, just because someone is shot by one person doesn't mean others weren't involved
and don't, like, berate me into accepting that assumption because I would never accept that.
Why would I assume that?
And three, to tell me that you know the motive.
before the trial even starts that he was killed for his views on transgender. Maybe he was. Maybe it was
more complicated than that. How would you know? You don't know. So stop yelling at me to accept a
conclusion that you can't prove. I hear you. Why would you do that? This is my friend. I'm not there's,
and by the way, if I was murdered, I would expect people who loved me not to jump to unwarranted
conclusions, but to press federal law enforcement to do its freaking job. Yeah. And stop calling people
names because they're asking you to do your job. I think a lot of people did jump to unwarranted conclusions.
Maybe. I don't know if it warrants it or not.
And, you know, right after the assassination, many people were with big platforms, not you,
were saying that Israel was behind it.
Many people's big platforms were saying that he was killed for his views on transgenderism.
And we don't know that, actually.
We don't know anything.
But Charlie was killed as he was talking about transgender.
And this guy, Tyler Robinson, seems to be in love with transgender people.
That may be absolutely true.
For me, and I think a lot of Americans, that seems like the most plausible situation.
But you're never going to catch me saying, because I don't know it, that Tyler Robinson wasn't involved.
I'm merely saying to foreclose the possibility that others were involved is irresponsible.
And then to attack other people.
Yeah.
I'm certainly not here to attack you.
No, no, you're not doing it.
I'm just saying like, and it's interesting, the people who have been, like, I've been a journalist my entire life.
I'm not proud of that because journalism is pretty gross in the way that it's practiced in this country, as you've just proven.
I mean, you tell us, like, how fake a lot of this stuff is.
But the basic process of journalism is not so different from the process of gathering evidence in a criminal investigation, which is, like, all leads should be run down that are not utterly preposterous.
And if you're not doing that, then I have a right to ask, why are you not doing that?
And if Joe Kent, who, until the day he left, had highest-level security clearance in the Trump administration, of Joe Ken,
says, hey, I referred these leads to the DOJ and they ignored them and then got mad at me for
referring them. What the hell is that? And if no one can answer you other than to call you an
anti-Semite, I'm like, that's not a real answer. Yeah, I don't think Joe is an anti-Semite.
No, me. I'm like, I don't think you're an anti-Sem. I'm not alleging Israel did it. I can't
prove that. So then, I guess that is an example of a clip of yours that was being taken out of
that. Israel did it? That was the message yesterday. And that's what I saw. And so it's just
interesting that I will say this, it's interesting that all the people who are telling you to shut up and accept a conclusion that hasn't even been reached in the court yet, they're all neocons. So why is that? What is that? What is that? Who's running that campaign? Talk about a campaign. And I, as his friend, here's what I want. And I've said it to the folks at Turning Point, who I talk to, who I like in some cases. No, everybody who love Charlie has an obligation to push for the most rigorous.
open-minded, exhaustive criminal investigation possible.
And if you're not doing that, why are you not doing that?
That's fair.
And I had this conversation, and I called people at the FBI directly, not being paid to do this.
I did because I love Charlie Kirk.
And it's like, what is this?
And they didn't give me a good answer.
Did you see that recently at the court hearing that they're not making Tyler Robinson's
lover testify?
They're basically giving them spousal privilege.
Yeah, what is that?
That's a great question.
And I think 30 points.
And who was this guy who jumped up and claimed credit for the murder seconds
after it happened. Who's that guy who all of a sudden gets busted on kitty porn charges and we can't talk to him?
Like, I don't know what this adds up to, but I know weirdness when I see it. And by the way,
is there not footage of Tyler Robinson pulling the trigger? Apparently, they say that there is.
No one has seen it, who I know, including high level people have asked to see it, haven't seen it. Why?
I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm saying, why are you acting like this?
Sure. But I think it's, and I trust you that you weren't saying it was Israel,
but some people have definitively have definitively said that. And I think that's also reckless.
And so...
I've said it's Israel?
I'm not...
I trust you that you said...
I trust what you say right now.
I don't...
But if I had proof there was Israel, I would just say so.
Right.
People have speculated that, though, and have definitively said that.
Not you, others.
I think that's reckless and irresponsible
and does a disservice to the investigation.
I agree that we should 100% investigate.
I mean, the investigations, the way that it's unfolded has allowed the space for
all of the speculation to take place.
Sure.
And that is...
Also the new media environment,
the new social media ecosystem.
But it's just funny.
Everyone's mad at the podcasters for it.
The podcasters,
you've got a freaking Department of Justice
that we pay for billions a year
that has the right to shoot you.
They have unlimited police powers.
They can tell you any lie they want,
and it's fine.
If you lie to them, it's a federal crime.
They have all the power.
Therefore, they need all the accountability.
I mean, that's just like kind of how it works.
And no one seems to be mad at the FBI or the Utah state authorities for not answering simple questions about this stuff.
And if you can't answer a simple question, maybe there's a good reason.
What's that reason?
Shut up, anti-Semite.
I'm just not going to take that under any circumstances ever.
Well, right now what it seems like, though, at least in the right-wing media ecosystem, you know, I agree that we should have a thorough investigation.
Yeah.
Half the side, or actually probably more than half the side says Tyler Robinson did it.
and then there's a pocket of the internet
that personally 100% says Israel did it.
And I think that, you know...
Why don't we have the tiebreaker
with the DOJ giving us real information on this
and answering the question?
And I actually called the, as I told you,
but say it again, I called the FBI highest level.
Have you guys interviewed the people
who appeared to have foreign knowledge?
We've got that covered.
Have you interviewed them or not?
This is just a common sense question.
Couldn't get an answer.
Maybe they have.
I saw some TikTok posts the day before Charlie died
that basically said, oh, Charlie's going to regret coming here and discord.
Thank you. Thank you.
You know, we're certainly aware of those posts.
And so that should be, but aware of, yeah, everyone's aware of it.
It was on TikTok and Twitter.
But have the people who posted those things been interviewed?
If I go on TikTok and threaten the life of a federal official, I get an immediate visit
from the FBI, immediate.
And I should.
I get it.
I'm not against that.
Have these guys received visits from the FBI?
And last time I checked the answer was no.
So I think it's.
totally fair as a friend of Charlie's or just as an American who believes a justice has to be done
to demand an answer. And I'm not going to be deterred from having people scream Candice Owens
anti-Semite in my face. I'm just not ever going to be bullied by that under any circumstances
because why would I? Do you see what I mean? I hear you. I just think that jumping to,
to your point, jumping to conclusions could be reckless. Well, a lot of people are jumping into
conclusions that Charlie Kirk was killed because of his positions on transgenderism.
That's jumping to a conclusion. We don't know that. There's been no trial.
But there was the letter that was picked up, right?
Okay, but what do we know about that letter? Nothing. That was a press release.
There's more evidence leaning towards a transgender issue. Show me all the evidence.
So that's what we're having a court here.
That's what exactly. So, but I'm just saying, hopefully some of these questions are
jumping to conclusions. Anyone who says, shut up, he was killed by the trannies.
I think what makes, I think what makes a whole process worse, though,
is social media.
Oh, definitely.
That's why I haven't tried to stay out of this.
And you have your teams, and you have the clashing opinions.
But how did it wind up, how did Charlie Kirk's murder wind up a contest between people
with different views on foreign policy?
I think that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
Good question.
It's a good question.
I think a lot of people are nefariously using Charlie's passing for self-game, and I think
that's wrong.
But also for ideological ends and foreign imperatives, like,
That's really clear to me.
Like, how did this become about that?
If it's really just about transgenderism, then why is every person insisting it's only about transgenderism also attacking the MOU?
Like, what are we looking at now, Alex Brousowitz?
Like, I don't know.
I'm a medium IQ person, maybe even a low IQ person.
But I'm just like noting what's happening and asking what does it add up to.
And I don't know.
Good question.
But it's weird.
I hear you.
I hear you.
You should be a shrink, man.
You have such a like a calming.
I hear you.
So I know, I think that the whole thing was terrible.
I remember where I was when he got shot.
I was actually in a meeting in Washington, D.C.
I got bored in the meeting, so I started looking at my phone.
And I saw Charlie got shot.
I'm going to what the.
And when I saw the footage, I actually started crying because I did too.
I thought there was no way that he was going to survive that.
I did too.
And look, it was, it was tough.
And the aftermath has been even tougher.
And, you know, I think that Erica gets treated incredibly unfairly by the media, by the pundant class.
I think she's got such a, I mean, a tough thing going on for her.
It's the worst thing I can mention.
And, you know, she wanted to be strong.
And, you know, Charlie, Charlie put on a show.
Everything he did, he put on a great show.
Yeah.
And people are criticizing Erica for continuing in Charlie's footsteps with the fireworks.
I haven't read a word of that.
I think it's been.
Be honest with you.
I think a lot of it's been pretty unfair.
I think they ask some fair questions.
But I think the treatment of her generally has been horrible.
And I think people should apologize to her.
Well, I was texting with her yesterday.
And about, yeah, so whatever, personal stuff.
I, yeah, there are a few people I feel sadder for than her.
Yeah.
Because the fact is no matter where you are in anything,
here's a woman who's a widow with two small kids.
Yep.
And those two small kids just had their first father's day without Charlie.
I'm aware.
Yeah, no.
And no, we want justice for Charlie.
Well, we should be demanding it.
Yeah.
But I think it's a disservice to use him for political gain.
I totally agree.
Or for gain of viewership on their podcast.
It was a disservice for Netanyahu to make it about Netanyahu, which he did.
That was a unique press guy.
Yeah, I didn't.
I don't think that was necessary.
You know, that's the one guy.
I think, I think he's chronically online.
I don't think there's anything overtly nefarially.
I think BB's chronically online.
Really?
I think he very much cares about the sentiment about him on social media in America.
That's why he saw, and he has the problem of people that are chronically on.
Ron DeSantis was chronically online.
We took, we took advantage of him for being chronically online during the 24 permit.
Like personally checking his phone.
Yes, scrolling, seeing what people say about him.
Really?
And if you remember, DeSantis really had a moment when kind of Trump was kind of in no man's land after the 2020 election.
Yes.
DeSantis started having his moment.
And what he would do is he would see what was trending on right wing X that day.
The next day, he would do a press conference.
Yeah, or come on my show.
Or go on your show, addressing that issue.
And it made him seem like he was one of us when in reality he was just.
reading what we were talking about and then taking action.
Oh, that's smart.
It was a good political play.
No, it's totally right.
But he was chronically online.
And so in 2024, when he ran for president, we muddied the water for him.
Every time he looked on Twitter, people like me were tweeting about his boots and his choice
of footwear or the makeup he was using that day.
And we made X a place for him that he didn't like.
And he kind of lost his mojo.
He couldn't really figure out what stuff.
He got his head.
So we got in his head.
Live by the algorithm, die by the algorithm.
I think BB, you know, there's theories about him that he's this grand mastermind of all these
exposed.
No, no, no, no.
I think he's chronically online.
He's a day trader.
I totally agree with him.
I think he sees what people say about him on social media and he reacts to it.
And I think that's when you're the world leader, I think it's terrible.
And that's why I love the president for not feeling the pressure from the chattering class on these
issues. And he's not hearing it from the chattering. He's not hearing it. He's not taking the opinions of
these paid influencers who want the war to continue. I think that's great. But I also think, you know,
you need to synthesize your own opinions with those of the people you represent. Sure. But I don't
care about gas prices. But I think I think X. Who cares about the Iranian nuclear program? Like,
talk about getting in people's heads, convincing Americans that the Iranian nuclear program is more
important than gas prices. It's like the craziest thing that's ever happened. I don't think ex pundance
are a place where I don't think X is a place you can get the sentiment of the American people.
I totally agree with that.
But public opinion polling, you don't have to respond to every poll, of course.
But like, what are Americans priority?
Where President Trump gets his opinions from is when he goes to Pennsylvania where he went to a truck factory yesterday.
Well, Miriam Nadelson also calls.
So, like, that's bad.
I'm sorry, it's bad.
I think the president takes more direction from the Patriots who shut up at the Pennsylvania rally yesterday for him than his donors.
Well, he, I think he always has.
And that has been his great strength.
That has been his great strength.
And everyone would always make fun of Trump for doing these endless rallies and
giving his endless speeches or whatever.
But I always felt, and I didn't want to watch them all because there's just too many of them.
But I always felt like it was important for him.
It was like, he loved it for one thing.
But it was good.
He could feel the energy from the crowd in like their interest.
You could engage people's interest by their response to your lines.
Yeah.
Super important.
Well, I encourage you, if you like those, I encourage you to watch as many Trump rallies as he can because they're not going to be here forever.
And, you know, actually, I've been to a lot of Trump rallies.
One of the things I regret now in my life is Charlie and I both spoke at this, Charlie Kirk and we both spoke at this event in South Korea.
I spoke before him and I was tired, you know, the jet lag.
Yeah, yeah.
And Charlie was about to go on stage and he's like, oh, you just stick around and you watch me speak.
I said, no, I got to get out of here.
I got to go, I mean, I'm tired.
and it was Charlie's last public speech
and I didn't, you know, stick around to watch it
because I was tired.
So same with Trump, you know.
Look, Trump is not perfect.
I think he, but I think he is the best that we've had,
at least in my lifetime.
And I think he loves the country.
I think he loves the people of the country.
I think he genuinely cares about the people
that he goes out and he wants to represent
in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and Ohio and Florida.
I think he genuinely cares.
And do we have the,
greatest team around us in the Republican Congress and Senate? Absolutely not. But we have two
years left of the Donald Trump experiment. And if the Democrats win, that experiment's going to be
muddied by impeachments and bullshit. And so, you know, I do encourage your audience to get involved
in the primary process as much as they can. If they don't like the Republican who's currently in
office, go get somebody that you do like. But we have two years left to the Donald J. Trump experiment
in our country.
And I think people are going to miss him when he's gone.
I want the last two years to be wholly focused on the United States and not on Netanyahu's
concerns or Zelensky's, anyone else's concerns.
Like, that's kind of your problem.
And, you know, we don't hate you, but like deal with your own problem.
You know, we were having a discussion before this about Latin America.
Yeah.
Right.
I think it's exciting what's happening in Latin America.
I totally agree.
And administrations before this one were more focused on the Middle East and
countries that were thousands and thousands of miles away, while our own backyard has been
suffering. And because of the suffering in the backyard, all of these illegal aliens came into
our country. You don't even tell me, man. That's why I'm so mad about the Iran war. This
administration, this administration has prioritized strengthening some of these countries,
not at the cost of hurting our country, but helping these countries become more stabilized,
become more economically strong.
Because if they have strong countries,
the migrants are going to come to ours.
Focus on the hemisphere.
I mean, you're...
Preacher requires, no doubt.
So I think that the president has been more focused
on this hemisphere than that,
despite the excursion there.
He's certainly more focused on domestic policies.
And I think that as we get to the next four or five months of,
you know, as we ramp up into the midterms,
You're going to see a lot more of his domestic agenda.
Last question, can you ask him to just stop listening to people who don't like you,
don't have your best interest or the nation's best interest at heart?
Just ignore those people, whether it's whatever, Mark Thieson, as you called him,
or Mark Levin, as I call him, or the Murdox, or whoever, people who are just like,
and just return to the concerns that, you know, your voters love you for, caring about, you know.
Did I say Thesson incorrectly?
I don't know. Who even cares? Like, what is that thing? I've never heard of this guy except for
when I see him on social media. I don't know what he does. But I think that the president
hears the opinions of as many people as possible. And he'll ask if the janitor was in the room,
he would ask the janitor about his opinion on our topic. You know, he doesn't, you know,
he's got his advisors, he's got his cabinet members. But then he has the public sentiment.
He goes to a rally and he pulls the crowd. Do we like Sleepy Joe or or, or, uh,
Crooked Joe better.
You know, he, and that's a cute example, a silly example,
but he feels the energy.
When he says something in a speech, he can feel.
Let me ask you, if the janitor, and I love that about him,
I try to be that way, you know, just like keep your filter course.
You get a lot of information, and then win out through.
I text with janitors, literally.
I'm with you on that.
But if the janitor says to you, I got a hot stock tip for you,
take $500 million and, you know, go into this IPO, and the IPO tanks,
you lose all the money. Next round, you're not taking investment advice from the janitor.
You're like, you cross him off the list of people to consult for investment advice.
If Mark Levine and Mark Tisen and Sean Hannity and Rupert Murdoch all come to you and are like,
I've got a great idea. Regime change, one and run. All you got to do is kill the Atoll.
The place will collapse. They're going to put some pro-Israel, pro-America guy to run the place.
You're like, okay, you do it. It doesn't work. You've got to have to cross them off the list of
people to consult for future foreign policy advice. Mayor?
I don't think it went down exactly that way.
But the president seeks out counsel for many people,
and he doesn't take the opinion of one person and make a decision on that.
But I do hear what you're saying.
I personally don't want any advice from Mark Levine personally.
And I think he's incredibly unhelpful to the country.
I don't think he's brought any voters to the Republican Party.
I think he pushes people away from the party.
And but, but it's, it's not up to me, you know.
And, and, you know, then there's people on the other sides of issues that I also should think have no say because they're crazy.
They're crazy the other way.
But again, it's not up to me.
And so, you know, the president, I think what's so great about him is he's willing to have conversations with people.
Does he act on everything that people tell him?
No.
Sometimes, you know, he might be more aligned with that group.
sometimes he might be more aligned with the way you think.
But he's the president for everybody.
He's focused on doing, in his opinion, what's best for the American people.
That's his focus.
And so, you know, we get the fun part of just being cheerleaders on the sidelines for
wherever the hell we believe in and want to do.
So, you know, that rides, you know, the Trump experiment's gone in two years.
And I think we're all going to miss it.
So I encourage you
Even if you disagree with him on something
Even if you if you don't like what he's doing
I know you still love him personally
Just remember that
Two years from now
He's gone
And we're going to miss him
And we're going to be complaining
That the whole process is so fucking boring again
Because everybody before Trump
Was so fucking boring
Unless it gets way more exciting in a bad way
Which I'm against
who knows we'll find out in two years i really appreciate your breaking the embargo and coming to see me
it was great great to see you talk about sports witz thanks all right
