Jank Uger, welcome to the show, man. Thank you, brother. Appreciate it. It's going to be a hell of a discussion today. There's a lot of shit to talk about. There is, yeah. But I really appreciate you coming on. Throughout the years, the country's obviously become extremely divided. It has been probably for the majority of my adult life, but, man, it's speeding up fast. And so I appreciate you being here because I think we both come from opposite ends of the spectrum. And listening to you recently and just my own feelings, I think maybe both of us are pretty fucking disgusted with the parties we come from. And I heard Joe Rogan. And I heard Joe Rogan call it politically homeless. And I think that's the perfect term, politically homeless. I feel like, I don't know. I always thought I was a Republican. Turns out I'm not a fucking Republican. I'm not a Democrat either, but I'm just an American who wants to fix stuff that wants a brighter future for my kids than I had. And so I hope we can come up with some solutions today on all the problems that are going on. So don't worry. I've got the solutions. Nice. We'll get to that. So we're the first online video show, right? And we're the first YouTube partner. So I've been doing this 24 years. So I've seen it all. And I give you that context because this is both the worst of times and the best of times. So as shitty as things are, things are going to get, I think, are going to get better because we're nearly at the bottom. Of Pandora's Box. And if you know that old Greek story, all the demons fly out of Pandora's Box once you open it. And at the very bottom, the last thing left is hope. Okay. So we're almost at hope. I hope so, man. So here's why. The reason I gave the context is because I've seen this movie so many times where the Democrats say they're the good guys. The Republicans say they're the good guys. They both do propaganda. Mainstream media loves that propaganda. They put it on steroids, right? And the most important thing is make sure you're divided and you hate each other and you're constantly attacking one another. Okay? And they tell you that you don't agree on anything. But in old days, they would celebrate any time there was bipartisan consensus. And mainstream media said that was like the greatest thing in the world. And on The Young Turks, we've been pointing out for 20 straight years now. We've been pointing out for 20 straight years now. Online, longer on the radio, saying, hey, wait a minute. What are they agreeing on? Let's look at what they're agreeing on and what they're disagreeing on, right? So what they agreed on every single time was corporate subsidies, corporate tax breaks, corporate this, corporate that, foreign government this, foreign government that. Every time it was a giveaway of our money, right? So Joe Biden didn't do much, but they declared him FDR 2.0. And I'm like, whoa. Well, what's these amazing things he did? In my opinion, he did some good things, more internet across the country. That's a good thing, right? And I can name a couple other good things. But then they talk about the semiconductor bill. And they're like, oh, okay. I'm like, okay, look, we need more semiconductors in America. We're too dependent on Taiwan. I get it. But what's in the bill? Oh, it's a $54 billion giveaway to the semiconductor industry. I'm like, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. But did we protect Americans? Like, did we protect American jobs? Did they have to produce? We did here, right? No, we didn't protect any American jobs. And as soon as the bill passed, Intel fired 8,000 people. And then they fired another 12,000 people, right? And they outsourced. But the media was like, yes, Joe Biden delivers. But did he deliver for us? No, he took $54 billion from us and gave it to huge companies, right? Maybe it was necessary, but it needed guardrails. And it needed it to not be a giveaway. But the bottom line is that I can give you a giveaway. I can give you dozens of examples like that. Like with oil companies, we give them $35 billion a year in subsidies. What the fuck? They're the biggest companies in the world. They're the most profitable companies in the world. What do they need John and Susie's money for who are barely making the rent in Kansas, right? So, and every time mainstream media, when they do that bullshit unity, they celebrate, oh, bipartisan unity, right? And what do they split you on? Things that you actually agree on? So, an example I use. I use this paid family leave. So, mom's getting 12 weeks off after they have a baby. 84% approval because right wing's like, oh, that'll lead to moms having, you know, more babies, bigger families. We love moms. We want time for them to bond with the baby. Of course we do, right? And the left likes it. It's a bill that they've always liked. Well, 84%, where's the question? We can't get it passed. Why can't we get it passed? Because they're all full of shit. They all work for their donors. Most of the donors are corporate. But now, as we know famously, there's one foreign government that is, in the last cycle, the biggest donor of all, and that's Israel. And so, when you lose your sovereignty to a corporation, that's already a big problem. But when you lose it to a foreign government, that's a problem that I cannot accept. Yeah. It definitely seems like we are now a proxy. Yeah. The United States. The United States seems like it is now a proxy. And that, to me, is terrifying. And I don't – we'll get to the hope. I hope you have some hope. Yeah, yeah. I have maybe two solutions. I don't even know if I would call them solutions, but it's a direction that maybe we could go in. One of them would be extremely complicated. And, you know, the most challenging thing is, in my opinion, is just getting to people. To come together on any issue, which is what we've been talking about. But I think, you know, just looking at social and just talking to people and whatever, just my pulse on the country is that Democrats are sick of their party. Republicans are sick of their party. And I do have a little bit of hope. I think that – I mean, if you look online, you don't see it. But I just – I think more people are – Becoming politically homeless. And I think we're all kind of seeing that. I think the biggest thing on the 2028 ticket will be Israel. But – Yep. And it's something that a lot of people are uniting on. And whatever we're going to unite on, we need to unite on something. And that seems to be – that's the topic of discussion today. AIPAC, their influence, the Iran war, Gaza, now Turkey. Lebanon. I mean, it's – and all the money that's going. What is it, like, three – is it 320 billion since 46? Since 1946? 48, yeah. 48? That's a lot of money. A lot of money. We got it all broken down here. But we have to come – if we want any change at all, we're going to have to come together because we can bat shit back and forth like abortion and trans issues. And taxes. I mean, those issues are just going to be batted back and forth until the end of fucking time. Yep. You know, abortion's illegal, abortion's legal, whatever. It's just – it's never going to end. And they use that to divide us, you know, the racial shit. And so, you know, I think more people are starting to look past that. I think the race card was overplayed a lot, in my opinion. And I think a lot of people are seeing that and realize maybe it wasn't as bad as everybody made it out to be. And I think that's happening with a lot of issues. And that's – that is giving me hope. Hey, we were fucking lied to. This shit was over-embellished. Or some things weren't embellished enough. And people are coming together and they're – everybody's looking – like, not everybody, but a lot of people are looking for the next – the real solution. Not, let's bat fucking abortion back and forth until the end of time. And that gives – that does give me a little hope, so. Yeah, 100%. So, look, I want to talk in a minute about – how we can unify, what we unify around, and how to win, and how to get American sovereignty back. So that's the number one issue. And people are constantly talking about like, oh, Cenk, you're obsessed with Israel, right? Yeah, but if Peru was occupying us, I'd be obsessed about Peru, right? And you want me to talk about other issues. What other issues, brother? We don't even control our own government. If we don't control our own government, then those conversations are fake anyway, right? So they're not going to lead to anything. It's all a distraction. It's all meant to divide us. But before we get to the solutions, we really got to talk a little bit more about the problem. Oh, yeah. Right? So look, as I keep saying, and I'll say it throughout, it's not just Israel. Israel's the tip of the iceberg. But what it's doing is it's making us aware that there's an iceberg. And so Israel is obvious because it's a foreign government, so it's just glaring to be a proxy, as you said, for a different country. But the rest of the iceberg is money in politics because all these guys are owned. They're all prostitutes, all of our politicians. And so the job of mainstream media is the getaway driver, right? What happens is donors will put, like, let's say, let's put numbers to it, right? Like AIPAC. They put in 127 million. They put in 127 million in the last election cycle, number one donor class, right, in that cycle. Normally, Big Pharma's number one, the drug companies, right? So but what they put in 127 million, what did they get back out? At a minimum, Trump gave them another $13 billion, right, on top of the 320 from earlier. That's a good return. Yeah. If you put in 127 million, you get 13 billion back. That's 101. In fact, you'd be an idiot not to do that. So, like, people say, oh, you're saying Israel's uniquely evil. No. Israel is uniquely strategic. If other countries could do that, if Bolivia or Turkey or China or anyone could do that, like, or they could figure out the mechanics of how to do it like AIPAC did and the Israeli lobby did, which, by the way, they're going to, and then they're going to buy, and then it's going to be an auction. Okay, who'd like to buy 20 U.S. congressmen? Oh, we have a bid from China. Yeah. We have a bid. We have a bid from Brazil, right? So, once you allow the bribery, it is an absolute certainty that all your politicians will get bribed, right? So, one of the reasons I despise mainstream media, and you won't find anyone who hates them more than me on the right or the left, okay, is because once I found out they'd been lying to me my whole life, that they weren't doing news, they were doing propaganda for the powerful, it was the exact opposite of what's true, I was so mad. Because, basically, they brainwashed me, along with the whole country. And they got us to believe this fable, this theater. It's like the Wizard of Oz. And once you lift the curtain back and you see the guy behind the curtain, you can't go back, you can't unsee it. So, for example, they say the politicians are having real debates. My ass they are. They're not having any real debates. Lindsey Graham, did he get convinced of anything? No, he got convinced by all the legalized bribes they're giving him. The campaign contributions. Did Hakeem Jeffries get convinced and have real moral principles about loving and supporting Israel unconditionally? No, he got five and a half million dollars from AIPAC. I mean, who are you kidding? Mainstream media says, no, those aren't bribes. No, those are true opinions of Hakeem Jeffries and Ted Cruz, right? And how dare you say that? You're an anti-Semite, okay? And you're a conspiracy theorist. No, no, now I get it. No, no. No, no, no. You're full of shit and you're doing propaganda to try to get us to not see the bribes. Five and a half million dollars is not complicated, man. And they say, oh, you think that they're influenced by five and a half million dollars? Fuck yeah, I do. Of course they're influenced. Seriously, is everyone in mainstream media so stupid that they think, oh, a regular person wouldn't be affected by five and a half million dollars? Who are you kidding, man? But the thing is, the most educated people in the country, unfortunately, love the establishment. And they read the New York Times and they watch CNN. And they have become the most ignorant people in the country. But since they're so well-educated, they think they're the smartest. And they think they've got it figured out the best. And they're like, what would the masses know, the unwashed masses? They have a bunch of conspiracy theories, like the idea that the donors control the politics. I do declare, Jeeves. New York Times wrote about that the other day. No, they don't control them at all. It's all a conspiracy theory. Moron, what do you think AIPAC put the $127 million in for? For their health? For a general welfare? Because Israel cares so much about the average American that they just wanted to give to our politicians out of the goodness of their heart. And then they say stupid shit like, no, when Israel gives America money, that's not for Israel's benefit. That's for America's benefit. Because it's giving you so much in jobs and this and that. I said, oh, is that right? Then why doesn't Israel give us the $320 billion back? And then it'll be for Israel's benefit. And Israel will be so, they'll be filled with benefits. Come on, give the money back. Give the money back. No, no, no, no, no. You're anti-Semite. OK, OK, I got you. So everyone on TV, literally everyone on TV is full of shit. OK? Yeah. And so as far as I know, I'm the only guy banned on Fox News and MSNBC and CNN. You're banned on all of them? Can't get any, it's, Sean, it's hilarious. Somebody won't know, a producer, and they'll book me on a show. And then we have an internal game. And we have an internal game at Young Turks. We're like, when are they going to cancel? We'll do an over-under. Oh, they'll cancel by 1 o'clock. Oh, I'll go over. They'll cancel at 1.15. I'll go over. I'll go under 12.45. Once I'm going to, I'll just say it. I'll say it for the first time here. Joe Scarborough invites me on, OK? I triple confirm because I got to fly from LA to New York. Mm-hmm. Mid-flight, they cancel. Are you serious? Yes. Man, I won't even, I won't even do it. I refuse to do it because I feel like I'm giving a large portion of the problem the time of day and making them relevant by appearing. Our shows get more numbers than theirs do. Yeah. And so I don't want, I don't want them to be able to, I want them to go down. I don't want to be on there. I don't want to give them the time of day. I don't want to bring my audience over there. I think they are a huge portion of what the fucking problem is today. And they need to be gone. And I think what I wanted to ask you is, you know, to me, it appears that the baby boomer generation is the only generation left that watches mainstream media. Yeah.

Tell me if I'm doing this wrong because I don't watch any of this s**t. A little flick like that, right? Seems pretty cool. It is pretty f**king cool. Gotta silence it. In another lifetime, I did gun reviews for a living. Proprietary f**king magazine. Supposedly the best engineering in the f**king world. When that breaks, you're f**ked. And now we're bringing him back. It does look pretty f**king cool. I gotta admit that. So it's crystal clear. And it's crystal clear in the polling. And it used to be, and we've been tracking on the Young Turks literally since the phenomenon began. Now, in 2020, it was 45%. year olds now the line has moved up to 50 year olds because now we're now in 2026 right and we said people would age along with it and they've aged along with it it used to be under 40 now we're at 50 why why is that the the marking line under 50 almost everybody gets their news from online media above 50 most of the people not everybody but most of the people get their news from television so if you're getting your news from television you're getting brainwashed it's non-stop propaganda and you have no idea what's going on in fact you know the opposite of what's true okay so they'll freeze i mean i can give a million examples i'll give a quick one so they'll say like oh israel's the victim right and you're like but wait their territory is growing they're they're doing self-defense but if they're doing self-defense they'd stay within their borders they defend themselves strongly or whatever right i and we could disagree about how they defend themselves but they stay within their borders but they're not they're growing right they in 67 they told us israel got attacked that's total lie israel attacked all of its neighbors first and they called it preemptive strike that's where it began okay i'm like that's not a preemptive strike or self-defense that's just you attacking all your neighbors in a surprise attack and then taking their shit then that's when they took west bank gaza strip golan heights sinai peninsula they give sinai back to neuter egypt which was the largest military in the area once egypt's out of the picture the rest of them right so but the bottom line is we now we have eyes and ears we can see they just took 53 percent of gaza they're taking southern lebanon as we speak and the liars on television say no don't believe your eyes and ears they're only doing self-defense and they're the victims how could they be the victims when i see gaza when they pulverize the place what do you mean victims so the palestinians aren't the victims even though they're occupied and you just destroyed 90 of the buildings in gaza you destroyed every hospital in every school but they killed like seven is it like 73 000 at a minimum sean yeah because there's people still under the rubble so and the idf confirmed the numbers from gaza so yeah and and why did they confirm that's not they kind of at the end they wanted to rub it in like hell yeah we murdered all of you now i just read a piece from haretz you know what's funny israeli press is way better than american press because you can't call them anti-semites so so they actually there's some press that does a really good reporting so haretz had the story of idf soldiers that are wetting themselves every night i'm not making it up but i'm being literal okay and you could read the story yourself and they can't sleep at night etc so why they all have these horror stories they're like well they told us to shoot and i'm a sniper and i could see him and they were civilians but i had to shoot him and i can't get the image of their heads exploding out of my head when i try to go to sleep we went and shot another guy we went and shot a bunch of people they told us to shoot we go there it's a bunch of kids and a grandpa right and and i think oh no we're going to get in trouble the commanding officer comes and spits on him and says no problems we did the right thing he's like i can't get the picture of the grandpa and the kids out of my head right so they're having all sorts of mental health issues with idf soldiers coming back because they're full-blown fascists now and they're telling them to murder kids so the american doctors coming back like extraordinary rate of sniper shots for kids under the age of five the shots are always in the chest or the head chest or the head what are they shooting kids on purpose that's literally what terrorists do right and others it's endless another story where they got a guy he's innocent they already killed his four guys that were with him and again this one's a female idf soldier she thinks you know uh he's freezing cold what are we gonna do and one of the soldiers urinates on him and they all laugh jeez man and then you bring up these things and you go look those are israelis saying it in israeli press they're like anti-semite oh okay so you don't care about bigotry you're just using that word to make sure americans shut up and never criticize israel i mean that's the defense mechanism you know it's just i mean this it just is what it is i mean how many people do you think actually think that that you're anti-semitic for saying oh no no sean and that you know that's a really great question and i might have a surprising answer for you so there's a couple of guys up at the top that are using weaponizing it on purpose and they're super callous and even and they know that not only are those people that are pointing out all these problems not anti-semitic they'll target people who are not anti-semitic even more like they say nick fuentes they're like oh that's not a problem like he because he's since he's so blatantly anti-semitic the politicians can't associate with him so he can't ever get close to power the real problem is people like me and my co-host anna kasparian and tucker carlson and you who are not anti-semitic because then politicians can still talk to them and we're not toxic so we have to pretend they're anti-semitic to try to make them toxic so that no one will be allowed to talk to them and they'll never be able to get close to power so it's a coordinated strategy so but those are only a small group of people at the top most people who make that charge truly believe it but put that aside they realize that and mainstream media realize the same thing and they do it not just the case of israel but all their political opponents in the old days there was assassinations but that's the way it was in the early 90s and the early 2000s that was messy it's illegal you can get caught if people have moral compassion blah blah blah it's just a mess right doing physical assassinations so they switched over to character assassinations so anytime somebody says something that they don't like they're all of a sudden there'll be an article in the new york times and the la times and the washington post and cnn will cover it and then there'll be congressional hearings and you can tell he'll give an example not related to israel madison cawthorne you remember him he was a right-wing guy young guy in a wheelchair very right-wing north carolina north carolina so i disagree with him on 90 of stuff but he just doesn't like what seemed like a flipping comment oh yeah there's orgies all the time with cocaine and stuff here and i got invited to it by older republicans in congress boom all of a sudden picture of him in a dress comes out this thing comes out that thing comes out all these incriminating things right they literally have a secret file on everyone and they don't use it until you become problematic and then all of a sudden there's a leak and all of a sudden that guy's character is assassinated and then he loses his next election and he's eliminated okay so any opponent of the establishment is eliminated in this way and by the way they do it to the right and the left and there a lot of people on the right a don't know this and b will have a hard time believing it but i tell you stories that'll convince you they do it even more to the left of bernie sanders more than they hate ted cruz or marco rubio or or or even trump god they despise bernie sanders are we talking about the establishment right now okay okay so now when it comes to you take establishment and you put israel oh my god that's thermonuclear okay so that's where you're going to get the most character assassinations anti-semite why we're going to assassinate his character he's a bigot he hates people for no reason he's a monster anyone who talks to him he hates people for no reason he's a monster anyone who talks to him he's a monster him uh it should be eliminated from politics right and you oppose israel and they're going to try to dig and dig into here i'll give you an example from us now this i don't know if it's related to israel or the establishment overall but uh i formed justice democrats that's the group that uh got a bunch of um uh people elected to congress don't hate me but aoc talib omar ayanna presley etc and and i'm proud of this the structure that we set up and that structure i think can now be used for better purposes we can get into the merits of all that etc but the one but the moment that i set it up and it looks like it's going to get momentum i get put on a list and here comes the character assassination so i they they dig for a needle in a haystack to try to pull out a needle because everybody's done something wrong right they pull out the needle and they go aha that's the haystack you gotta hate that guy okay so in my case they look for some the first thing i always look for is sex okay so they they look for sex they got nothing i lead a super boring life okay uh then they look for did he do anything wrong at work because especially back then there was a me too movement the whole thing at that time sean they called every single woman who worked at tyt or had ever worked at tyt did jenka do anything wrong did jenka do anything wrong uh is he a bad boss is he this is he that and they got nothing wow so then they went and found old blogs from the 1990s that i had written and deleted 15 years earlier right they're like okay that's it because they're digging and digging why are they digging because they got to assassinate your character once they assassinate your character they could move on and go okay that threat has been eliminated why is bernie such a big threat one he's against corporate power and most of this is about corporations but also it's hard to call him an anti-semite he's just a big threat and he's a big threat and he's a big threat when he says we should cut funding to israel because he's jewish so you can't call him but they do it anyway the republican congresswoman went out just last week on air he'd gotten this they get talking points literally from the Israelis. So he's got his talking points, and he read it. And he's like, and this guy is an anti-Semite. Like, that's Bernie's Jewish. And he's like, oh, well, it says it on the paper. I'm doing hyperbole about the paper. But he literally said it on air. And then, Sean, one last one, OK? Because this is amazing. Once you see how the theater works, who the director is, who the camera guys are, who wrote the play, then you begin to understand the whole picture. So this guy, Rando Congressman, I don't even remember his name from Oklahoma, Republican. So that week, Erdogan, the leader of Turkey, criticizes Israel. Israel then gets super pissed about it. And they start attacking Turkey in the press. Boom, within two days, a Republican congressman in Oklahoma doing a town hall going, you know, the real problem is Turkey. The real problem for Oklahoma? Is Turkey our NATO ally? And he's like, they're trying to reconstitute the Ottoman Empire. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? And then there are articles written about, in the mainstream media, about real problem is Turkey. You know, they're occupying Cyprus. Did you know that? They're the real occupiers. It's amazing how coordinated it is and how it pops up in the media and among the politicians at the same time, same talking points. You could trace it. Sometimes we'll do three, four guys. I'm a young Turks in a row. And sometimes it'll be Republicans and Democrats. Same talking point on favor of Israel. One after another, after another. They're all robots, man. They get programmed by their donors. Like those little, like, you know, dolls that you wind up from the back. And then they come out. Israel is our special ally. They are doing self-defense. You've seen it firsthand with people you've lifted up. How would I ask you this? Because I feel like the character assassination, assassinations are starting to diminish because they've overplayed it. And what do you think about that? I see things coming out now that would have, they would have gone viral even just a year ago. But there's just so much coming out now. There's so many character assassinations happening all at the same fucking time that people are just getting to the point where it's like, whatever, man. Totally. So there's these two groups. And Dropsite News just did a story about one of them, Canary Mission, today. Okay, so Canary Mission and StopAntisemitism.com. These are like Israeli Gestapo outfits here in America. And what they do is they make a list of Israel's enemies. And then they try to character assassinate them. And they'll take out-of-context videos and go, look at this anti-Semite, right? And so. Why do they do that? And how does that process work? So number one, their model has been from day one, anyone who criticizes Israel must be eliminated so that there's literally, we have a monopoly. Like, it'll seem like the whole country loves Israel, so it'll be easier to take our money, to be honest, right? Like $320 billion is no joke. That's a robbery. That is a massive, that is one of the biggest, the biggest robberies in American history. Don't tell me it helped us. That is a load of bullshit. Like I said earlier, if it helps so much, they're wanting to give the money back, and then we'll help Israel that way. Oh, all of a sudden, it doesn't help when we ask for the money back, right? No, no, no. Other bullshit. So what do they do? Canary Mission will not only target, like, let's say a Muslim American who says, hey, maybe you should stop murdering Muslims, right? But a right-winger who opposes Israel. In the old days, there was a different group, but same business model. It was like Masada 2000 or something. I don't remember the name exactly. They had what they called a shit list, and it was like an acronym, self-hating something or other. It was a list of, I forget if it was 800 or 8,000 Jewish Americans that were not sufficiently loyal to Israel, and their character had to be assassinated, okay? And so they're funded by, the same type of people that fund our politicians, Israel First crowd, right? So they give a tremendous amount of money. But again, the average Jewish American has no idea that that's happening. And if you told them, they'd say, oh, that's anti-Semitic conspiratorial stuff. No, no, I shut off my brain. La, la, la, la, la. I don't want to hear it, right? But in reality, those guys' job is to make sure that Israel has no opponents in America. And so it's unbearable. It's unacceptable. You know what they do? They go, I mean, they're out of control. So my co-host, Anna Kasparian, they targeted her husband, who's just a baseball coach in a local high school. Not political at all. Used to play professional baseball. He's now, so he went into coaching and they're like, you have to denounce your wife and say she hates all Jews and you have to do it publicly. Otherwise we're going to fire you. We're going to ruin your life, okay? That's a Gestapo, man. Are you serious? Yes, 100%. Then politicians started showing up. They have to fire him. If they don't fire him, the whole school is anti-Semites. Anti-Semites, fire him, destroy him, right? So now, again, that's not every Jew in the country at all. And they don't even know that's happening, right? They just get told, oh, somebody's an anti-Semite. And they're like, oh no, destroy, destroy, destroy, right? Well, you go around destroying enough people. And at some point people are going to get pissed. How many right people on the right? How many people on the left? How many people in the middle are you going to destroy or try to destroy before we go, hey, you know what, maybe fuck you, right? Maybe we're at that stage now. I think we're at that stage. Yeah. Just being honest. I think, I mean, you know, I mean, Trump's got like a 30 something percent approval rating at this point. If that, you know, I mean, there's a lot of people saying, fuck you, a lot of people saying, fuck you. Yeah. So, and then they'll say, oh, we're the unwashed masses and oh, fuck the grassroots and conspiracy, this and anti-Semite, then, and then radicals at unacceptable. Who, who, who's, what do you mean unacceptable? What does that 80% of Democrats, for example, are now have a negative view of Israel and we don't want to fund Israel, 80%, 80%, okay. 61% of the country, the country's gone. We don't want it anymore. Right. They're like, shut up. You're all anti-Semites. 61% of the country's anti-Semites. What the fuck is this? So if we don't agree to serve you and wait a minute, why is mainstream media like sound like they're working for Israel? And what do you mean? We're anti-Semites, I mean, yeah, who's we, we, we is the American people. So who are you then? Right. If you're Jake Tapper on CNN and you're. Calling, you know, the majority of the country in anti-Semite, then who are you? Like, because it doesn't sound like you're representing America. It doesn't seem like you care about Americans. In fact, you're insulting Americans back to the Democrats, seven snakes in the Senate vote with the Republicans. Sorry, but all the Republicans voted for Israel. Okay. All of them in the Senate. And they say, we got to send more thousand pound bombs and we have to send armed bulldozers because right. Now Israel is destroying every home in 53% of Gaza that they control and are going to keep. They said it was for self-defense bullshit. They just stole half of Gaza. Okay. And they're sending the bulldozers to Southern Lebanon where they're not only destroying Muslim villages, they're destroying Christian villages. So they're destroying every building in like three, 70 villages, overall three Christian villages, a Christian priest get goes out to the house, hits them again, kills the priest, kills the priest, kills the priest, kills the priest, kills the priest. And they're all in the house. for them to do that again, again and again. And you have to pay for it. But Sean, we're not even paying for it. We're borrowing from China and our kids have to pay the interest on that and our grandkids have to pay the interest on that. Why doesn't Israel borrow from China to do their own murders and have them pay the interest? No, Americans, back to the mines, back to the assembly lines, work your ass off. We're going to steal your money from your taxes and we're going to make you borrow money from China and you're going to give it to Israel. And if you don't, you're an anti-Semite and we're going to destroy your life. We're going to destroy your career. Well, then you're the Gestapo. That's how the Gestapo works, okay? So back to the seven snakes. So seven Democrats vote. The Republicans now nearly a majority, but not yet a majority because the boomers are against Israel, right? So under 50 years old, Republicans, Republican voters are against Israel. The younger you get, the more they're against Israel, right? But so you can make a fig leaf argument for the Republicans pretending they're representing their voters because a lot of the boomers are on their side, right? But the Democrats are voting against 80% of their voters. Look, if you're going to have a firearm in your home, it needs to be secure, especially if you have kids. But you also need access, when it matters the most. And that's why I started using Stopbox. Most options force a bad trade-off. Locked away and slow or accessible, but not secure. Stopbox fixes that. It's completely mechanical. No keys, no batteries, nothing to fail. The five button design is built for muscle memory. So once you learn it, you can open it fast and with one hand, but it still keeps everyone else out. For me, that's the difference. It keeps things secure, without slowing me down. It's also made right here in the USA, creating real jobs here at home. They've also got other products like the UCAN, which uses that same system, but gives you more storage for your firearm, ammo, and gear, so you can keep everything secure without sacrificing access.

You think we're going to represent you? No way. We're going to represent Israel, and you can kiss our ass. We're going to screw you over. We're going to take money out of your pocket, and we're going to give it to them to bulldoze innocent Christians' homes, innocent Muslims' homes, kill the six-year-olds, and take more land for their empire, for greater Israel. You mentioned Turkey earlier. What are they, nuts? They're talking about after Iran, we're going to go to Turkey. Turkey's the second biggest military in NATO. Why are they attacking NATO? Why is Trump attacking NATO? Because if Turkey's in NATO, Israel can't attack them. So they have to get America out of NATO so that they could say, oh, well, you don't have an alliance with Turkey anymore. Now help us invade Turkey. Do we have an official alliance with Israel? I don't know what's official or unofficial, but not like we do with Turkey, because Turkey's in NATO. It's just like France or Germany. I don't think we have anything with them. But yet, when they make us start-- Nothing official. We should check this-- actually, I want to-- shit, I forgot my pen. I want to write that down. Check it on the break, just to see. I did a quick search before we came down, but I didn't see any official anything. You would think we would have something in place with our greatest ally, but-- Maybe they think it's superfluous. They don't need it, right? Like, because they-- I'm sure that's what it is. Yeah, because look, I mean, with Iran-- Maybe we don't put anything on paper so they can just continue to rape our country. Yeah, so we start the Iran war for them. It's indisputable that it was for them. We had no interest in it at all. And they told us they wanted us to start it, and then we started it. And then what do we do? Instead of guarding our own bases and the Gulf countries, we guard Israel. So then a bomb lands right on top of our base in Kuwait, kills six guys, injures a whole bunch of others. And every veteran that came out of there now talking to the press says, there's tin walls, man. Literally, they told us to go in, no protection at all. And there's nothing on the roof. So they just came right from the sky and killed us. Why were all of our interceptor missiles around Israel? Protect beloved Israel, OK? Well, how about protecting our guys? OK, here, here's another one that's indisputable. Part of the reason we might be pausing now in Iran is because ground troops are on the way. About 50,000, 60,000 of our guys are on the way there, right? 50,000 to 60,000? Yes. When did that change? Last time I checked, it was 2,000. It's 50,000 to 60,000? So you see all sorts of different numbers out there. Three different aircraft carriers with different guys going in. They're talking about, we're getting reports from our audience mobilizing to go over to Iran from North Carolina, from here, from there. So they're sending-- oh, we're in a ceasefire. The guys are on their way, right? But here's my question. Wait, why do we have to use our ground troops? Israel wanted the war. Why don't we use their ground troops? Anti-Semite, wait a minute. I got to die for you in order not to be called an anti-Semite? What is this? What is this? If Israel wants a war, why don't they use their own troops? Oh, they're busy conquering southern Lebanon. Well, why is it in American interest for Israel to conquer southern Lebanon? Shut up, anti-Semite. No, no, this thing's going to blow. Like, we can't take this anymore. I mean-- We're a proxy. Once again, we are the proxy. We are the biggest fucking proxy in the world now being used. We're slaves. The government's occupied, period. So here, again, it's pure logic, right? When I say, hey, Big Pharma gives more than AIPAC does in a normal election-- they're the number one donors in Washington-- and then we can't negotiate drug prices, well, wait, wait, wait. What do you mean we can't negotiate in a free market? That's, like, the most anti-capitalist thing you could possibly imagine. It's like socialism for the richest corporations in the world. Same thing with the oil subsidies. Why do I have to give them money, OK? So but if you-- now, mainstream media never talks about that because they love the corporations, they love the donor class, et cetera. But if you say that to them, and you're having a debate and an open discussion, they'll grant it to you. They'll say, yeah, yes, we get it. Obviously, we can't negotiate. We can't negotiate drug prices because of the power of Big Pharma. And they even concede that Obama, when he did Obamacare, left the drug companies out of it because they were too powerful. What does too powerful mean? It means they bribe our politicians and have them in their back pocket. That's all it means. So but they'll grant you that, OK? Now you turn over to Israel. You go, just like Big Pharma, just like Big Oil, AIPAC comes in and buys our politicians. They've contributed to 94% of Congress. And then they go-- No, you're an anti-Semite. That's a trope. You're not allowed to say a trope. But is it true? Yes, it's true. But you have to shut up about it. Otherwise, you'll be banned on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. You're not allowed to say that. And Sean, they invented this thing called a trope. It's a beautiful defense mechanism. It's like landmines that they set up in politics, political landmines, right? So you say you killed over 20,000 children in Gaza. They go-- Oh, no, trope. What do you mean, trope? Is it not true? Yeah, it's true, but it's blood libel. What's blood libel? Blood libel is in the 1800s, 1900s, people used to say that Jews would kill Christian children and drink their blood. Totally false, bullshit, not true. Did they get smeared that way? Yes. But wait, nobody said anything about drinking the kids' blood or any of that stuff. You're just now hiding behind the past and history. You're hiding behind history to aggressively attack and then foreclose any criticism. And they have a trope for everything. So when you say you're controlling Congress, they go, trope, that's a trope that Jews control countries. I'm like, yeah, but brother, I'm not-- when I say it about Big Pharma, you don't say it's a trope. Yeah, that's because Big Pharma didn't think to call it tropes. What the-- what is this? Here, I'll give you a funny example. I'm Mediterranean, right? Turks, Greeks, and Italians are around the Mediterranean. We're all Mediterranean, and we're kind of hot-blooded. And we're known sometimes for being promiscuous, right? So now imagine your wife catches you cheating, and she goes, hey, it looks like you were with Sally the other night. You go, trope, no, you can't criticize me because I'm a Mediterranean man, and there's a trope about how we're promiscuous, so you're not allowed to say that. In fact, I'm offended. Now you're the bad guy. Yeah, yeah, but did you sleep with her? Trope, anti-Semite, you're canceled. i'm offended you're the problem i'm the victim no no this is no no this is just a trick to get you to not ever criticize right so they get these special privileges that none of the rest of us have you can't claim tropes i can't claim tropes big pharma can't claim tropes only israel can what do you think let's let's get away from israel for just a second and start let's let's talk about gaza iran like let's talk about some long-term repercussions and so i want to know what some of your biggest fears are with the fallout of this iran war i think that i'm worried about other than our guys dying for another country that that is number one but for the longevity of the country i mean i think that the i think the petro dollar is falling at a rapid pace there's been a there's been i mean you know about bricks that's been around for a long time they're trying to to throw us off the world reserve currency the petro yen is rising it's i mean now they're taking payments in yen the so what does that mean for us i mean that's that's that's we've essentially shut off what oil to the western world europe or so like you know it's still going to china they're they found a back door and they would and when they said that the the blockade was the blockade was just for the western world at the beginning it wasn't until we showed up that china and these are you know in in mainly china you know that they didn't slow down yeah this so everybody's pissed at us because their energy is gonna fall which means their economy is gonna fall and we're in the way of that and we are we aren't yeah it's impossible to even negotiate because they kill all the people that we're negotiating with yeah israelis kill all the people we're negotiating with it and so my major fear is that we will be thrown off the world reserve currency i don't know what that means for us but i know it's not it's it's not going to be good that's oh that's that's the end of the race road yeah so i i agree with you my number one problem is that i can't stand the loss of american sovereignty i can't stand it right like the whole point of the country is freedom and they're taking our freedom away and and it bothers me to no end i won't come back talk about that more later because i'm like i'm so corny and how patriotic i am and i love this country and i hate that they're taking the core of it away it bothers me more than you could imagine but now let's talk about what you mentioned the economic stuff okay that is a second calamity and it is going to be much larger than people realize trump is barely holding it together with duct tape with lie after lie oh well you know peace around the corner oh don't worry the you know oil is going to drop and i don't know why the markets believe them i mean the guy lies about everything i don't know why but they believe is he holding it together is he really holding it together and is that why he's saying all this shit or is he manipulating the market oh he's doing both yeah so look uh let's talk about the cascading disasters then come back to trump and why he has to do what he's doing so number one uh 20 of the oil comes through the straight of hormones for the whole world right oil is sold in a world market so when people say oh we're energy independent that doesn't mean anything it's just a made-up phrase because it's not our oil that the exxon mobil and chevron takes out of our soil the minute they have it it's exxon mobil's oil and exxon mobil doesn't have to sell it inside the country they can sell it all across the world and they do so we're not energy independent at all we're in the global oil markets so when the price of oil goes up for china it goes up for us okay and so but it went up more for us because you're right in the beginning iran's controlling it in china as their ally so they're letting the chinese oil go through now why did we allow that for so long we even allowed the iranians to sell their oil because if the oil prices explode which they will that hurts the entire market and the entire economy the stock market crashes rich people get uncomfortable but then we have cascading consequences for the economy overall so when oil hits a hundred and over a hundred dollars panic begins to set and we couple of times we went past a hundred a hundred dollars per per barrel once it gets to 120 uh the things start to crumble 150 and it's thermonuclear 200 and the global economy is is a crash like you've never seen okay so that's why trump has to hold it together he has to make sure that the price of oil doesn't go up too much in the middle of the war but israel put us in a spot that is unwinnable and untenable we can't get out it's already too late because once iran closed the straight we've got to get them to open it back up if we don't get them to open it back up it's definitely going to 120 and it might go to 150 and some now on wall street some of the smart guys are beginning to think holy it might go to 200. so we're gonna that will so right now there's shortages in south korea there's shortages in india shortages of energy all across the world and we haven't hit what i think is the worst part of the war that's coming up if we don't get the hell out of there this is going to be an economic collapse like people have not seen so then so why is israel doing this number one they want to take southern lebanon and this is all a giant distraction number two they want the iranians destroyed so they can't fund hamas hezbollah or etc so it's all about their interests not our interests but the parts people don't talk about they just open up the leviathan gas field for the first time israel now has a source of energy and after the war starts then yahoo goes and brags on air well now that all those other the straight is closed and other uh things are foreclosed you're gonna have to rely on leviathan and israel holy okay and when the world falls apart and we lose all of our allies we lose nato we lose the middle east we lose everyone israel then says we're your only ally see the rest of the world hates you well why do they hate us because we did the you wanted us to do i think everybody sees what's happening everybody sees the negotiators being killed by israel and everybody sees it but us but we see it but we do our leadership our this administration trump they don't acknowledge it but i would just want to read something uh to break down the petrodollar why it's important since the early 1970s a foundational deal between the us and saudi arabia pinned the entire global financial system oil is priced and sold exclusively in u.s dollars that means every nation on earth regardless of of its relationship with the u.s must hold u.s dollars to buy energy those dollar surpluses are then recycled back into the u.s treasury bonds keeping americans borrowing cost artificially low and sustaining the dollar is the world's reserve currency the system has found has funded decades of u.s military and economic dominance lose it and the united states loses its ability to borrow cheaply sanction adversaries and project global power 21 million million barrels a day come out of the strait of her moves it's 530 billion in oil per year 25 of the world's oil so that's the next thing i was going to get to brother so if you think it's bad with what oil prices will do to the world economy wait till you see what it does to us when they stop using the dollar uh to exchange oil why so here's what people have to understand it's just one more step and it's actually an easy step that a lot of people will get when they use the dollar as that reserve currency throughout the world just like you read there everybody has to stock up on the dollar but if they don't have to do that anymore it lowers the value of the dollar which means that we could buy less with the dollar which means prices are going to be even higher and we date we don't become the standard bearer anymore that means they could give us an an interest rate that is higher to buy our treasury bonds because we're no longer the reserve currency we're no longer guaranteed to be able to pay it back so that means all of our debt gets multiplied because now we're all paying a higher interest so all that money we borrowed from china and japan to give to israel we'll have to pay a higher interest on it if we're not the reserve currency so it has many other cascading consequences but just on the interest rate alone and the fact that they don't have to buy the dollar anymore and and the inflation that'll cause two other giant calamities it's going to make the economy here so much worse it's already bad six ways the iran war is threatening dollar dominance the hormuz the strata hormuz closure yen for passage that's trading oil and yen and accessing the straight in yen the gulf state dollar dump uae warned it may use yen or other currencies if it runs out if it runs low on u.s dollars the treasury sell-off bonds bond traders are dumping treasuries and amid high inflation fears bricks acceleration we just talked about bricks that's growing last time i checked it was i think there's 22 countries probably a lot more that's to throw us off the reserve currency and oils at about 20 a barrel so yeah so bricks is uh you know brazil russia india china etc so now when you put that together that is a massive power okay and now counter to nato a hundred percent now people are looking and going wait why do i have to listen to america why don't i just go do a deal with bricks why the fuck would you listen to america why why would you want to what i mean all the the tariffs the sanctions why would you why would you want to you know every country around the world has to be going hey uh we don't have to put up with this shit this is out of fucking control exactly when you everybody's gonna listen to that remark when you put in the tariffs on top of this war that everyone on planet earth said don't it makes no sense partly because everyone knew you're gonna iran the first thing they're gonna do is block the strait of hormuz so but the israelis convinced whether they actually convinced them or they have blackmail or whatever it is but the official story is they convinced donald trump that don't worry the iranians are backwards stupid muslims they won't figure out how to close the strait of hormuz that's the easiest thing in the world just put in mines into in there and and they said oh don't worry they want to attack our gulf countries one of the things you read on that list the uae considering switching off the dollar is sacrilege because the gulf countries uae saudi arabia etc we've been theoretically providing their defenses this whole time and so they're supposed to be like totally on our side and kind of almost addicted to us they need us and then what happened in this iran war not only did we start a war that got them attacked and were was iran going to attack those gulf countries of course our bases are in the gulf countries they can't reach america that's why we had no interest in iran but they can reach our bases so of course they're going to attack our bases and so the uae and saudi arabia foolishly thought well the americans will at least protect their own bases so they'll protect us no all we did was protect israel and so when the war started and we didn't even protect uae's saudi arabia they got furious those suckers really thought that we cared about them no you didn't buy our politicians israel did so we don't care about you at all we're just using you you idiots and now they realize it just before i came here another news report the saudis are now saying no we're going to start doing deals with china turkey uh maybe even iran after the war etc because it turns out america it was a lie they're not going to protect us they didn't protect us so we got to get off of this alliance now they're the ones that hold a lot of the oil they start trading in yen they start trading in other currency we're totally screwed and the whole time israel is going to be cackling in the corner going we're your only ally left according to polymarket there's a 45 chance the strait of hormuz traffic returns to normal by the end of the year so we're going to have to wait and see what happens next we're going to have to of May. What do you think? Look, the only reason why I hesitate, Sean, is because Trump will definitely destroy his presidency if he hasn't already done so. If he puts in the ground troops or he bombs their power plants and their bridges, as he said, the economy is going to melt down in all the ways that we described and then some. His popularity is going to go from 32 into the 20s, unprecedented, never heard of territory. And so he can't do it. Because if he bombs Iran's oil facilities, as he's threatening to do, the power plants, et cetera, Iran, first of all, they can't get rebuilt for about five years. So you're doing permanent damage to oil and the supply of oil, which by definition will raise the prices. But on top of that, Iran says, if you hit our oil, we're going to hit the oil and gas in the Gulf. Now we're talking about massive damage, taking five, 10 years to recover from. Gas prices like nobody's ever seen. We're already at $7 in LA for a gallon of gas. We're going to go to eight, we're going to go to 10, and God knows where we're going, okay? So he cannot go in. He's totally stuck. That's why he's like, he's almost like pleading with the Israelis. Please, please let me do a peace deal, right? But it looks like the Israelis are going to deny him. If we, if that 45% is mental, if I'm right, and I had this debate with a guy on Twitter, Mario Nahual, he's got a big show on X and bless his heart, and he's a good guy and stuff, but he's like, no, Jake, Israel's got influence in America. They don't completely control America. So because this war is insane, well, Trump's going to stop it because it can't go on for all the reasons we've been talking about. And I'm like, no, watch Mario. Israel controls America. What signs are people seeing that we are not, that this administration is not controlled by Israel? What are they seeing? I mean, we just, they've killed everybody we're negotiating with in the middle of negotiations. That is not, that's not a sane response. That's, it's two more things. They, that gives you a full sense of control, right? Did you know they killed 10 Americans, the Israelis did in the last three years. And our government hasn't even asked for the murderers to be arrested. We haven't asked for them to be brought to justice or to be extradited. I mean, Jake, we, we caught a pedophile in Las Vegas that was part of their cyber team and delivered him back to Israel. And that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, Israel with a little bow on him, nothing, no repercussions. No, literally, literally like going, going after little girls on the internet, caught him, caught him, Sean sent him back with no repercussions. It's a little worse than that. Here's why it's a little worse. They catch him in a ring with, he's part of nine guys. The other eight are Americans. Those Americans have to face consequences because they're pedophiles. So significant, serious consequences, okay, in the justice system. The Israeli is working with us in cyber security. He's one of their top cyber security officials. First of all, a real American has to win the next presidential election. We should not be having Israel anywhere. Near our cyber security. Okay, we'll come back to that too. So, but this cyber security official comes here for sexual tourism. He thinks, well, I'll go rape American girls. I'm Israeli. I'm above the law. If I get caught, I'll just go back to Israel. He's right. And that's exactly what happened. He gets caught with the other Americans. Americans have to face the consequences. The Israelis above the law, we gift wrap him, just like you said, and send him back to Israel. No consequences. No consequences. So, I mean, look at Jonathan Pollard. So, Jonathan Pollard steals our top secrets. That's after Israel already stole our nuclear secrets. Some kind of fucking ally, right? So, then Pollard, this is amazing. Netanyahu goes to Clinton back in the late 1990s, actually during the Oslo Accords, and says, we have the tapes of you with Monica Lewinsky, before anybody knew about Monica Lewinsky. First of all, how does Israel have the tapes? And then they say, oh, the idea that Israel might blackmail an American politician, that's anti-Semitic. Get the fuck out of here. They already did it. There's a whole book about it. The Israeli press talks about it. So, then he says, I want you to release Jonathan Pollard. Now, to Clinton's credit, he doesn't, right? And by the way, what happens? Then the blackmail is revealed when we all know about Monica Lewinsky. He didn't play ball, so they released the tapes, okay? So, then they go to Obama, and Obama, because he gets the same money from the same guys, Israel first donors give tons and tons of money to the Democrats and the Republicans. Obama finally paroles Jonathan Pollard. That guy should have been in prison the rest of his life. He's a traitor, right? At a minimum. And then Trump gets into office, and they go, it's not good enough that he's released. We want him back in Israel. So, Trump says, yes, sir. Thank you, sir. And he says he's allowed to leave America and go to Israel. Now, the reason I told you this whole story is because what happens next is the most interesting part. He gets flown out. to Israel in a private jet. The private jet is owned by the Adelsons. So that's the same family, Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, that has given Trump $337 million through the three presidential elections. So the Adelsons fly him out in luxury and then give him a hero's welcome when he arrives in Israel. Way to betray America. Atta boy! Congratulations, Jonathan Pollard. And Pollard's doing interviews in Israel now saying, "You know, all the Jews in America should betray America and work for Israel." He's saying that? He's saying that. It's on tape, okay? And the Adelsons who bought our president, okay, are the ones who are celebrating the traitors in this country. Now, again, guys, don't take it on anybody Jewish. They're not in on it. It's just Pollard. They're not listening to Pollard, et cetera. But the donor class? Fuck those guys, okay? So they're literally rewarding people for betraying us. And so we should ask Trump. You should ask Obama, why? Why did you let this guy go? Am I-- now, this is more of a theory. Now, okay, those are all facts. My guess is with Clinton and with everybody, they have a piece of blackmail that they can release, like Monica, which is bad, but not thermonuclear. It won't totally assassinate your character. The Epstein files. OK, you didn't do what we wanted with Monica? Boom, here's Monica. Now, who was really good friends with Bill Clinton? Jeffrey Epstein was. Who was really good friends with Donald Trump? Jeffrey Epstein was. Now, Bill, you saw when you didn't play ball what happened. Now, would you like the thermonuclear files released? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yep, so during the Oslo Accords, Clinton's like, oh, the dirty Palestinians wouldn't take the deal. The Israelis gave them a great deal. It's all their fault, right? And we've got to send more money to Israel. We've got to send more money to Israel. And then there's a picture of Clinton in one of these events. And you know who's standing behind him smiling? Miriam Adelson. Are you serious? Yes. So what happened? I thought you were a big Republican donor. No, they're not. They don't care about Republicans or Democrats or America. They're Israel first. And so whoever's going to help Israel, they'll give to Clinton, they'll give to Trump, and they'll make sure that they serve Israel. Number one donor to Chuck Schumer? Israel. To Joe Biden, Israel. Hakeem Jeffries, Israel. Mike Johnson, Israel. Ted Cruz, Israel. Trump, Israel. So don't tell me they don't control our politicians when we have eyes and ears and we can see the numbers. And why did they do that with Pollard? I think they're at the point where they realize they've lost the American people. And now they've entered the stage of Russia and they're rubbing it in, OK? We've gone to suppression and oppression. Before it was propaganda. We'll trick them. We'll tell them that criticizing us is a trope and cancel and destroy. OK, that's not working anymore. The control of the politicians is breaking apart. OK, we'll just go to outright oppression. And Larry Ellison, speaking of rubbing it in, super donor to Israel. So these things are amazing, and why isn't this happening? Because we're reporters on television talking about it. DropSite News gets Epstein's emails, Ahud Barak's, and Larry Epstein's. I'm sorry, I said Freudian slip. Larry Ellison's, founder of Oracle, one of the richest men in the world, the guy who just bought TikTok, CBS, and CNN for Israel, right? So he says to the Israeli ambassador in the emails, I'm going to go talk to Marco Rubio and make sure that he's going to work for Israel. He says it in language like he's positive towards Israel, right? He writes another email back. He says, I talked to him. Yeah, he'll be a friend, ally of Israel. He's on our side. So I put $5 million into a super PAC. That's back in 2016 when he's running against Trump. Now, Ellison's best friends with Trump before he was his worst enemy, before Larry Ellison was giving to Clinton and to the Democrats. They're literally, when you see the emails, they're literally bribing our politicians. It's legal through campaign contributions. And having conversations with, will you serve Israel? Yes, I will loyally serve Israel. Report back to the Israelis. They will loyally serve Israel, OK? So this is our fucked political system right now. So the more people find out, the angrier they get. And they should be. They should be livid that we've lost our sovereignty. And guys like Ellison and Adelson run the place. And so now they bought all those big media. The only upside of that is it's a waste of their money. Like when Rupert Murdoch bought Myspace and it was like bankrupt within six months. Because people were like, fuck that. I'm not going to a social media site owned by Rupert Murdoch, right? So go ahead, buy CBS. You think we don't know CBS is Israeli propaganda now? And you're wasting your money with CNN. It was already Israeli propaganda. Let's take a quick break. When we come back, I just want to talk about what do we do about-- I mean, this war is going to happen. I think it's going to happen. I don't think there's any stop. There's no stopping it. There's nothing we can do. It's already happening. So what do we do after the fallout? How do we keep the dollar on the reserve currency? Stuff like that. OK. Lately, life has been busy. And when that happens, health is usually the first thing that slips. That's why I like having something simple I can stay consistent with. And for me, that's AG1. It's one scoop, eight ounces of water every single morning. That's it. No overthinking. No complicated routine.

Hi, I'm Sarah Adams, the host of Vigilance Elites: The Watch Floor, where we highlight what matters. It became a permissive state, explain to you why it matters, and then aim to leave you feeling better informed than you were before you hit play. Terrorists, hostile intelligence agencies, organized crime, not everything is urgent. But this show will focus on what is need-to-know, not just what is nice-to-know. All right, Cenk, we're back from the break. We were talking-- so I want to go into-- some solutions because it does look like we're probably going to war. It's probably going to be in there for a while. We're probably-- we're probably going to be in there for a while. And, you know, so for the next-- for the next-- I don't know. Maybe it could change after midterms. Maybe it'll change after the presidency. I don't know. But what are some things that we could do to get the dollar back on the reserve currency to ease our allies' minds, to ease the world's mind about this. And it's just anything else we can do, you know, even to our own energy infrastructure. I mean, the other thing is that people-- I haven't heard anybody talk about is here we are in the AI race against China. We're pretty much fucked if we lose it. And we're fucking with everybody's energy, with our own energy. We can't even power these systems right now. All of our powers-- I mean, nobody's unleashing nuclear. What are we going to do? Yeah, we're-- We already have to start thinking about the recovery because the world is fucking pissed. Our energy is fucked. What do we do? So we're in a world of hurt. And so we've got to be realistic and honest about it. And it's going to get-- I think, much worse before it gets better. And the solutions are long term. I wish they were short term, but they're not. So in the short term, Trump's president for another three years or so. But even, honestly, if you like the 25th Amendment or whatever, it wouldn't really matter because you know who J.D. Vance just had dinner with? Miriam Adels. Are you serious? Yes. It's endless, man. It's endless. And Paul Singer. and Loeb, these are all Israel first donors. Those are all the people that are given money to try to eliminate Tom Massey in Kentucky as we speak, okay? Because Massey had the audacity to speak out against Israel, so he must be eliminated. And on the left, we've had a lot of guys eliminated. You think the Jamal Bowman thing was about the fire alarm? No. They gave Latimer $22 million to eliminate Jamal Bowman from Congress and Cori Bush. Andy Levin, Andy Levin's a Jewish-American from Michigan. He's a Zionist. He loves Israel, but he said two-state solution, and the aid shouldn't be unconditional. They're like, what do you mean unconditional? No, Israel's allowed to do anything they want. They spent $4 million defeating Andy Levin, getting him out, putting in Haley Stevens because she said, I'll kiss Israel's ass on the left, the right, and the middle. And it's unconditional. I will help you rob Americans. She's running for. She's running for Senate now and getting her ass handed to her. So we've been through those problems. Okay, so when you get to the solutions, what I'm saying is, until the next president comes into office, it's going to be super difficult. Okay? So will oil go through the roof? Yes. Will they start coming off the petrodollar? Yes. Once they start coming off the petrodollar, it's going to be super hard to put them back on. I don't think anybody's coming back. Yeah. So then our alliances are falling apart at the seams. Spain and Ireland and Italy are super pissed at us. Now we're theoretically pissed at them on behalf of Israel, whatever. Like, yeah, the Irish aren't good enough allies. Israel's are only like, get the fuck out of here. I'd 10,000 times rather be allies with the Irish and the Italians and the Spanish than the Israelis. So all of those things are headed towards disaster. And if the European countries go and do an alliance, economic alliance with BRICS instead of us, oh. You think that's a possibility? Of course it is. How many times are we going to tariff them? How many times are we going to say we're getting out of NATO? How many times are we going to spit in their face and say, oh, shut up, Denmark. We're going to invade you and take Greenland, right? Until they go, you know what? China and Russia aren't saying they're going to take Greenland. You are, right? So, by the way, every war fucks up the country that started it. So, minus Israel, because we're the ones forced to fight their wars. But Russia goes into Europe. Ukraine, their military gets destroyed. We're going into Iran. We're using up all of our interceptor missiles. We won't have any defenses left at the end of this. At the end of the day, we're going to take the aircraft carriers out because we're going to run out of missiles at some point. So, this is so stupid. It's maniacally stupid. Okay. So, for God's sake, we've got to get the solution. So, how are we going to do that? Number one, you have to vote against all incumbents. Unless their name is Tom Massey or Ro Khanna, or you know for a fact you checked APAC track, and they're not taking any money from Israel, like you know for sure, okay, then you should vote against them. Default, make sure you go to elections and vote against every sitting congressman, unless you're absolutely positive they serve America, okay? So, this is when mainstream media will lose their shit and go, how dare you? They have so much experience. Yeah, they have experience in fucking us. They have experience in screwing us over and serving other countries and donor class, etc. They're the cancer, okay? Now, at this point, they'll go, oh, no, no, no, no, no. Cenk is working with the Republicans. He's going to get you to vote against Democrats. Sean's working with the Democrats. He's going to get you to vote against Republicans. Oh, yeah, that narrative is already happening. Of course, right? So, let me defeat that narrative so easily. So, Republicans go into Republican primaries and vote against incumbents in the primaries, so you don't have to vote for a Democrat. You could have a clean Republican who's an American, who represents you. Democrats, you don't have to go vote for a Republican. Go into Democratic primaries and vote out all the bums. Vote out all the snakes who keep giving your money to Israel when 80% of you are against it. So, we did a site, notanotherdollar.com. It's just the simplest thing in the world. It's a pledge to never vote for anyone who takes any money from the Israeli lobby or sends a single more dollar to Israel, okay? So, if you do that in your own. In primaries, you defeat their talking point of, oh, you're helping the other side. No, we're not even crossing party lines at all. And that's why, generally speaking, mainstream media hates primaries. They don't like talking about primaries, because in primaries, you have a little bit of real choice left. By the time you get to the general election, it's Israeli robot A versus Israeli robot B, and they've robbed you of all your choices. So, it's actually the same way the Iranians work, and the same way the Chinese work. The Chinese have a politburo, like the Soviets used to, and they vote within themselves, this very small group of people, and then they give you two options that both serve the politbureaus. So, then they have fake elections. Iran does the same thing. The mullahs vote internally, then they give you two fake options who both serve the Ayatollah and the mullahs, right? And then people have a fake election. We actually do the same thing here in America. The donors select the guys who are going to win the primaries by giving them all the money. Once you got 5 million in a primary, good night, Irene, okay? In fact, in America, the person with more money wins the election 95% of the time. Doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, nothing matters. 19 out of 20 times, the person with more money wins because we legalize bribery. So, by the time you get to the general election, every good choice is eliminated. But not in the primaries. So, go vote in the primaries and vote out all the incumbents. Do you think that the money, that you said 5 million, you've got it, do you think that will continue with the rise of independent media? No, that's why I have a lot of hope, okay? So, remember how we talked about it. So, step one is defeating the incumbents, right? But there's a step that I don't talk about in terms of politics, but that's about media, but that's as important as everything else in politics, and it leads us back to the conversation. We started earlier. Under 50 years old, everyone hates Israel. Above 50, the zombies still think they're our special ally. Why? They're consuming TV and mainstream media. Under 50-year-olds are consuming online media. Mainstream media says, we are the only objective ones, when it's the exact opposite. In fact, claiming they're the only objective ones is part of their propaganda, okay? So, but meanwhile, people are going, okay, wait, I went online and I listened to Sean Ryan and I listened to Tucker and I listened to. I listened to Dave Smith and Jenkin Anna on the Young Turks and Breaking Points, and I got a variety of opinions. They don't agree on a lot of stuff, but there are facts that they share. And so, it is a fact that we gave Israel $320 billion. It is a fact that we cannot negotiate drug prices. It is a fact that we spent $8 trillion on the global war on terror. That wasn't global at all. It was a war on Israel's neighbors. So, now. $8 trillion other dollars is out to them. So, in media, they're like, no, no, that wasn't for Israel. It just happened to be their neighbors. No, they. Yeah, Israel launched all the wars, but they're doing self-defense. And now, when under 50-year-olds, if they even turn on TV, they turn it on. They look at it like, what is this bullshit? Oh, this is nothing but lies. The campaign contributions don't affect the politicians? What kind of bullshitter is this guy? It's a play, man. They're all. I call them news actors, not news anchors. So, the news actors. And by the way, I worked at MSNBC. I was a host on there. I was their 6 o'clock guy 14 years ago, okay? They make everybody use a prompter. And I said, I don't need a prompter. On Young Turks' side, we don't use prompters. We have our outline prepared. We're going to tell you the. We're going to show you the videos. We're going to prove our case. We've got the quotes. But I don't need a prompter. I'm just going to tell you a story about it. And they're like, no, no, no. Put it in the prompter. I'm like, why? Right? Okay, first, I thought they were just uncomfortable with it. Is he going to be able to handle it? But I did a couple without a prompter. And they're like, oh, he's pretty good at this, right? And the ratings are going up. No, they want you on the prompter because they want to pre-approve your script. And so, to be fair, Rachel Maddow also wrote her own scripts. Rachel and I were the only ones who wrote our own scripts. Al Sharpton eventually replaced me. Sharpton not only wouldn't write his scripts, he wouldn't even write his scripts. That's why there's all this video online of him like bumbling, stumbling, saying nonsensical things. Because it's the first time he's ever seen it when it's on the prompter. So, there are a bunch of news actors that are just reading scripts that the producers wrote for them. So, I write a script. It criticizes one of the sponsors. I didn't know they were a sponsor and I didn't care. But they see it hours before I go on air and they give me a call. Take the sponsor out of your script. Oh, that's why you want it in the prompter. Because all the scripts are pre-approved. I remember I wrote an op-ed, sent it to Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal. Sometimes they publish my op-eds back in the day. They get a note back. This doesn't fit our narrative. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock, because I wrote it. You didn't. So, wait, wait, wait. Oh, now I get it. There are no op-eds allowed that don't fit the narrative. Okay. So, the whole thing is rigged. So, that's the good news. Now, they can't have a. unsee it, all the under 50-year-olds, and now there's plenty of people people above 50 who watch online media too. So now the news is out. Mainstream media is garbage. It's nothing but propaganda. They don't cover the news. They cover up the news. Go watch online and you'll start to see things that are true. And by the way, there's still bullshitters online. It's not like we're all angels. But that leads to the second great thing, Sean, and part of the solution from the media angle. Now people are forced to use their own minds. Before it was an assembly line. Fox News gives you a load of bullshit. MSNBC gives you a load of bullshit, right? And everyone says the same thing, so there's no variety. And you don't even have an opportunity to use independent judgment, right? And they've got us divided in camps, so you're not even seeing the other side. Now, okay, if I'm a Republican, I got Mark Levin telling me one thing and I got Megan Kelly telling me something. Well, now I got to use my own independent judgment to decide who's right. Before they were all on Fox News and all saying the same propaganda. And look, to Megan's credit and Tucker's credit, they say it now. They admit it. When we were on Fox News, we all kind of had to say the same thing, right? Now they get to say whatever they want and they're trying to appeal to the audience and the audience doesn't want bullshit. The audience doesn't want you kissing Israel's ass. They don't want you kissing donor ass, right? So we're incentivized to tell people things that are true. And the best part of it is once that brother started using his own mind, they're now in our camp because they're going to hear Mark Levin tell you that we should serve Israel. They're going to hear Megan say we shouldn't serve Israel and Mark's cooked. He's gone. He's a goner. He's never going to win that fight. That's why Ben Shapiro has almost no audience left. Whereas you and Tucker and Megan are doing great on the right, we're doing great. On the left, Breaking Points is and others are. And so Breaking Points has got a right winger too. It's a good independent show. And so in this world, their propaganda runs into our brick wall before our message ran into their brick wall. So that is super good news. So I think already in 2024, online media was more important than mainstream media. That was the first election where we were more important. And in 28, that's going to be an even bigger number. And by that time, it's not going to be under 50. It's going to be under 50. It's going to be under 55-year-olds, right? Now, the older folks vote a lot. So that brain lock they have on TV is important. This is part of the solution. Go talk to your family members. Go talk to your friends. Get them off TV. Get them off that drug, okay? That drug's killing them. Every time you turn on TV, you're voluntarily allowing someone to lie to you and fill your head with lies, right? So get off that garbage. Go look around. I don't tell people just watch Young Turks. Don't watch the Young Turks at 6 o'clock Eastern. We do it Monday through Friday. Check it out. But then go watch Sean. Go watch Tucker. Go watch independent shows. Watch our competitors on the left. No problem. Because what they'll realize is we try super hard to give them facts and to stick up for them, right? I want them using their mind. I want an open mind. Once we got open minds, the bad guys are fucked. Yeah. I have a couple of thoughts. You just solved everything. But I kind of meant just how do we get, how do we not save face? How do we survive after this war economically? And so the things that I was going to say is that when this does wind down, when we do get somebody in there that, you know, has his own agency, I think we, I'm not an isolationist. I think we need to become damn close to isolationists after this. us i think that we need to take care of ourselves get get a handle on all this fraud that's going on all over the fucking country like really get a handle on it and and identify the problems and stop that shit i think we i just i think we need to lock it up i think we need to lock it up and fix ourselves before we start engaging in foreign affairs again and i think that we need to tap into our oil reserves we have some of the biggest oil reserves in the world and i think we need to unleash nuclear and then that will solve the problem yeah so uh for the for after this war or or during i mean right now this shit has to start happening in my opinion yeah so there's kind of three categories right so there's the media category we just talked about turn off tv uh check out a variety of shows check then there's politics that's the electoral stuff vote out all the incumbents of step one step two is get a clean president next time okay so that is monumentally important because that clean president is going to then unlock all the tool chests that we have and america has a beautiful huge tool chest that we can use but we need a president that's going to represent us and not someone else so that's absolutely critical we can come back to how to pick that person right and and and who should be maybe it's a little early but we can have that conversation but to your question sean once we've got a clean president what can he do well first of all you've got to get rid of israel's influence in this country completely like joe kent uh talks about this i interviewed him about it and tucker did many others did and and there are israeli assets inside our government right and so totally unacceptable we've got to get rid of israeli assets inside our government we've got to find them and remove them this is not a witch hunt like if you go and do things that are unjust and you attack a random jewish guy that didn't do anything wrong you'll ruin the whole thing right don't do that but if you're working for israel we're going to find you and we're going to remove you from government that's everybody so if you don't mind i'd like to step in because you're saying vote all the incumbents out i've been watching the primaries you know and uh i had skin in the game with dan crenshaw but uh he's gone god bless your but you watch a lot of these people that are getting in now and they didn't say it at the very beginning and now they're coming out and they're beating the israeli drum yeah that's one that's one in particular that i saw and i was very careful not to endorse somebody just because i fucking hate somebody else because that doesn't do anything yeah maybe he is out of there the guy behind him probably isn't going to be any better you know but at least we're cleaning something out and getting some fresh blood in but so i don't know if the incumbent thing is going to work i don't think it will because i mean you just talked about the packs we talk a lot about you know a new party i think that's what needs to happen and i think the only way that happens is if it's grassroots it can't be it can't be somebody up top it can't be some fucking guy with a shit ton of money that's going to finance the entire fucking thing it has to be grassroots it has to be a movement and i think a lot of people are going to have to put their differences everybody's going to have to put their differences aside we need to so we need to identify a party in somehow some way come up with the ethos what what are the what are the what are the biggest things that are affecting the country right now it's it's the lobbying it's israel it's so we take all these things and this is the term limits you hear that being kicked around a lot you know and so we take all the the things that we really want to change right now that everybody's talking about but it's never going to change because nobody in power is going to is going to fuck themselves out of insider trading or any of that shit and so you have to you have to and you have to try to get all these people elected as as possible so you can't vote for the democrat you can't vote for the republican you have to vote for the party yes we don't even want to discuss some of this other stuff i don't think we need to be discussing the things that will be batted around until the end of time we need to put that shit aside get these people in here some way somehow they have to promise that we are going to amend the constitution in these ways that's the first fucking thing we're going to do that's the first thing we're going to do is everybody has to get in there you you you you amend the constitution you know as minimally as possible you know for these for these major problems term limits lobbying stuff like that then we can go back to all the same bullshit we've been arguing about since the beginning of fucking time that's how it has to be done but i don't know i don't know if you have to wait or until they're gone i i don't know but that's that's the i've thought about this so much and in in have lots of politicians who want to come on the show i won't fucking have i won't have most of them anymore because i just you're just full of shit i don't give a fuck if you're running i don't care if i served with you when you're running i still think you're full of shit go prove you're going to do the right thing you're going to do the right thing and then i'll fucking help you with your re-election yep i'm not going to help you with your election yeah you know so i think i think that is how it would have to be done is and how would that be that would that would be people like you and i what we're doing right now we're coming together we're talking about things and you know you have wildly different opinions than i do on certain subjects that are very divisive but we both want the same things here we both want that flag to mean something again yep we want our own sovereignty we want our own agency we want our own freedom yep we don't want to be israel's slaves and that's that's how it has to be done and so when you come up with that party and you come up with the very basic ethos this is what this is about you will take no money from a pack you will know you you won't do any of that then you get in amend the constitution get things in order and you've you you you got the entire system that way yeah so it's like a hostile takeover without violence that's funny because when i started just democrats i said this is meant to be a hostile takeover of the democratic party literally the words that i used now it didn't turn out that way but it was supposed to be so uh and now i'm doing rebellion pack among the democrats like i'm down to rokhana basically because roe is never taking corporate pack money that doesn't take money from israel like that's what i mean by clean right massey's clean on the republican side rokhana's clean on the democratic side okay but we don't have to put all of our hopes and dreams into one person or etc so let's talk about the system again so you hit it on nail on the head the very last step i was going to tell you the third political step is an amendment because once you get a clean president there's a million things you could do and i can go down that list but by far the most important is pass an amendment immediately to get money out of politics because you got to turn off the tap if you don't turn off the tab and they can keep bribing our politicians they're going to bribe them until the cows come home but if you turn off the tap and all of a sudden they're not being told by a lobbyist here's you know half a million dollars now go vote for higher drug prices then he's going to think well wait i got my source of power now are the voters and not the donors and the voters don't want higher drug prices now i got to go try to serve them yes yes so getting money out of politics is by far the most important issue if you don't end the bribery we're permanently screwed okay that's what's putting the stain on the flag and so it's not as i've been saying all along not just israel they're all bribing him big sugar down in florida is one of the biggest lobbies and they control the politicians in like maniacal ways corn industry is huge that's why we have high fructose corn syrup instead of real sugar in our food and it literally is making america obese it's leading to diabetes it's like literally killing us but nope big sugar big corn big everything you got to get them off that crack as long as they're on the crack of money in politics we're never going to regain our our country okay so the but so now the good news is presidential elections are not like congressional races so we we are already taking baby steps right we've already started taking the first steps we started taking them on the left through uh just democrats because we put in the rule of no one who's endorsed here can take corporate pac money so they might still have left-wing positions you hate on social issues etc right but on economic issues and foreign government issues they're clean right because they're not hooked on that money and who were the two that were most targeted by the israelis jamal bowman and corey bush both justice democrats because they didn't get the money they needed to get the money they needed to get the money they can't take money from israel okay so you set up incentives and disincentives and rules that get you to the right results so now they can't they did buy bowman's seat for 22 million they can buy almost any seat in montana or rhode island because they don't get enough media attention when you don't get enough media attention to a congressional or even a senate race then the only attention is mainstream media the local tv news local radio local papers etc and those guys are almost all bought so the you're they're going to hear give you an example from the old days max baucus in montana democratic senator right took more money from the health care industry than anyone else he wrote obamacare in the senate and that's the one that said mandated to buy private health insurance there's still an improvement it was but it was why are we doing a mandate it was originally written by the heritage foundation a right-wing pro-corporate group wrote it gave it to max baucus and obama they passed it so that you have to buy private insurance and it doesn't touch the drug companies why can't we defeat max baucus in montana as democrats when he sold us out on the most important bill there was because you don't have enough money and there's no media attention he buys all the ads he wins re-election really easily right but here comes the good news in a president presidential election the money doesn't matter nearly as much because you can't take the spotlight of a presidential election away that's why trump won twice even though he had way less money than hillary clinton and way less money than kamala harris because they're buying dumbass tv ads that don't work anymore you know and they put out their robot ads like oh i am for the american people and it's all like you know propaganda etc and by the way the republicans of course do it too but trump comes in and he's outside the system so that's why a lot of people made the mistake of thinking that he wasn't one of them when he is he is part of the establishment he's a new york billionaire been in those circles the whole time that's why he knew epstein he knew the clintons he knew all these guys but he was smart enough and i think this is a doesn't take much it was a low bar but he got past it and other politicians didn't which was he's like i gave money to all these guys when he did the first debate in 2016 16 guys on the stage he's like i gave them all money and they did whatever i wanted people like oh my god that's true right so even though he had less money he starts attracting people he said i'm going to drain the swamp when you get rid of what money in politics right he gets more and more people and since he's a celebrity they couldn't keep him out and he just started saying things that were probably he didn't mean it that's why i was pulling my hair out i'm like he doesn't mean it he's a con man right but but people were so desperate and hungry for anyone who was real or who was authentic who wasn't a robot that they believed him right and i get why they believed him i feel like sometimes i'm the only democrat who gets yeah guys they were desperate you gave them garbage you gave them plastic robots from an assembly line that's why they went for them because they didn't have any other options so anyways that's the truth i mean i get labeled a mega podcaster all the time i was never a mega podcaster but i didn't have an option i didn't have a option and he wasn't my first option i really liked vivek i always wondered why vivek always kind of you know yeah it was all about trump but i i he he's the smarter guy he's a smarter guy he's got better policies better ideas can articulate better uh i thought he was great but he didn't make it you know and and so i had joe biden or trump and that was it both very weak choices in my opinion so look at the lies that people in the establishment both over 80 years old i know look at the lies that the establishment tells so i i mean think about think about when you go but what do you do i don't know 80 80 plus years old serious so about two years before the 2024 election we at the youngster started petitioning to get biden out of the race okay people are like whoa what are you doing that's the democratic president he's fdr 2.0 you guys crazy i'm like guys we play his clips every day he can't speak he can't finish a sentence the other day he went and shook hands with an invisible guy like there was literally you saw on tape you could find it on online goes and done it's done with the speech walks to some place where no one is and does this i'm like his brain's gone okay so i think trump's a con man right so i'm like i don't want to lose to trump if you run a guy who has dementia you're guaranteed to lose to trump so why the do you want to lose to trump no shut up you're being disloyal to the democrats if you were loyal to the democrats you would bow your head and follow the orders of the leaders i didn't come to bow my head man like i i i real i'm telling you man i'm corny i believe in freedom i believe in america i really do and i'm not bowing my head to a guy who's got dementia okay and i'm like guys he's in the 30s he's where trump is now biden was there a year and a half before the election and i'm like an incumbent that's in the 40s has almost no chance of winning an incumbent in the 30s has almost never won a national election in america why would we go with a guy who is definitely going to lose and what did i get we got nothing but overwhelming criticism and hate how dare you if you just do the propaganda and you say biden is great we'll win the election you're ruining the marketing and the propaganda by telling the truth about biden and now we're going to lose and it's going to be your fault and then we get to the debate and he's like we defeated medicare and his brain's leaking out of his ear they're like oh shit and did anybody come back around and say hey you guys are right maybe and we said do an open primary don't do kamala harris don't stop anointing people you guys suck at this do an open primary maybe a bit sheer from kentucky could have won or something right they're like shut up bow your head right so for republican voters and democratic voters do not listen to leadership they're full of shit and they're trying to lead you astray so dan what do they tell us oh you got to support dan you know i don't right if you're a republican right and so okay you defeated him the guy who defeated him is also taking money from apac oh god damn it right but but but you what you did was you got people's attention okay and and one of their guys lost that's a victory okay that doesn't mean you solved everything but it means you're on the road to solving things now the next most important election is not a democrats even though i'm on the left it's tom mackie 's election in kentucky if they right now the singer adelson etc pouring in millions to his cut out maga opponent right fill in the blank guy whoever the fuck he is it doesn't matter it's whoever is willing to be sure we'll find out soon yeah it's whoever's willing to be a dog to the israelis right okay so if massey loses that election the message is going to go to all the people in the house and in the senate or don't oppose it's going to go to all the people in the israel they'll come to get you and it doesn't matter if you're bowman on the left or massey on the right they'll eliminate you okay so on the other hand if massey wins the election the opposite message is going to go out oh shit apac doesn't have as much power as they used to and now it turns out supporting apac might cost you elections and now we got democrats scrambling going apac i didn't say apac no no i'm not taking money from apac so even if you win the election you're not going to win the election you're not going to win the election even rahm emmanuel obama's former chief of staff you know what happened first persian gulf war rahm is so animated about the war that he joins uh to serve attaboy oops he joined the idf not american militarily yep he's he's he's an american went and volunteered with idf larry ellison gave 16 million dollars in contributions to the idea okay so but i brought him up because rahm is now running for president he's on bill maher's show last week and he goes you know we should cut funding to israel really rahm right really right so we even got rahm emmanuel a literal idf soldier saying we should cut funding to israel because he knows he can't win if he says we should keep giving money and we'll just go right back to it yeah which is why you have to gut the system the way i was saying i don't think you can leave anybody in there even ro even massey who i like both of those guys i think i think it has to you just you have to get rid of everybody no i'd keep the clean guys but uh but here here's another encouraging thing from the left so abdul el saeed's running for that michigan senate seat against hayley stevens why do you think we should keep the clean guys how do you know they're clean i mean like i said putting i like them but they're still remnants of the old system yeah i i hear you but get rid of it but but sean hear me out on this those guys were brave enough i'm with you to take on goliath when no one else would so i don't want to lose good soldiers who already started fighting the leviathan before the cavalry showed up you see what i'm saying so that that's why and there's not that many of them it doesn't really matter i mean it's that it's almost six percent of congress so if you go with the sean ryan strategy of don't even look vote blind against the incumbents deal because you're going to get 94 correct people right but we're just talking about the fringes and stuff but but those guys have battle experience in fighting the machine right so i still disagree with 90 of massey's votes but i'll take a clean guy over a dirty guy and a guy who already fought the machine and who already won and now they're coming after rokhana too so i'll take a clean guy over a dirty guy and a guy who already fought the machine and take ro over any of those guys he's already been in the battles he's already gotten epstein files released he already has a record of delivering for americans and americans only right so that's why i like those guys but overall we're on the same page to wipe out the incumbents right and we got to do it together if we don't all do it it's not going to work right i think that i think the good the good thing about the 24 election if there is anything good about it is it was exposed that independent media has the power yeah i think very much so i tried to get kamala on here to talk because i wanted to talk to everybody that was running for president she wouldn't come um but and she probably would have run she probably would have won if she would have done the damn podcast tour well but and i don't i don't i i i'm not saying i would have voted for i'm not saying it would have been any better because i think both of them were a fucking disaster to be honest with you point being i think that the you know with with with with how trump ran his campaign and podcasting and independent media i think that's what sealed the deal i don't even think it was him i think it was independent media yeah i totally agree and so now we know now we know so if people like you and i can come together and create some sort of an alliance where we blacklist all these other fuckers and lift the new the new blood up it will it will work it will work yeah so that's the beauty of it sean now they're on our home turf they got to come to us right and if they don't get come to us they're gonna get punished and they're gonna lose especially in a presidential election you're gonna run for president but you're gonna do it for hiding in a cave you're not gonna talk to any of the top shows online that means you're a coward that means you're a liar and nobody's gonna trust you okay now if they come and do the shows that's a different problem for them because they have to be honest and they have to know their shit and they have to talk to you like they're a regular human being and they can't if they use talking points you and i will catch them and we'll snuff it out right so why did kamala harris not do any media just think about how stupid that is okay and this is a huge problem for the democratic party to this late day they still don't get it okay now you raise all the money you have two billion four billion whatever you raised what are you using it for you use the great majority of that to buy ads but what are ads they're paid media you know what's better than paid media earned media free media when you go on the show itself you're gonna buy a 30 second ad on a show when you can just go on there and talk for an hour what are you nuts that's the equivalent of 120 ads that would cost you like millions and millions of dollars so the guy doing earned media which in last election was trump is going to have a multi-billion dollar advantage over the person not doing earned media so kamala harris was like no i don't want the viewers of sean ryan's show to vote for me or rogan's show or the young turks by the way they don't come on left-wing shows either okay and so i don't want those voters well you didn't get them and that's why you lost and that's why i was asking do you think that the money from the packs is is is even relevant if we were to do something like that in a in 95 99 of elections since there is no media attention in a congressional run in montana and they're not coming on our shows and they're not going on any shows money still buys those seats but in a presidential election they can't buy it they just don't know it yet okay so now what they'll try to do is they'll try to exclude people that's establishment 101 right the and so they just did it uh ms now that's the goofy new name uh did here are your 24 fighters on the democratic side pick your fighter so a giant number of potential candidates for 28 who's the one guy they left out you want to guess who rokhana okay because no no no no not the clean one not the clean one so they're doing all these polls for presidential election who's the most active democrat in the country it's not even close rokhana is doing more than the rest of the democratic party combined right half the polls don't include rokhana are you fucking kidding me okay here i'll tell you more funnier like that's more spectacular because ro is the most legit guy there is right he represents silicon valley it's richest district in the country he was co-chair of bernie's presidential campaigns excluding him he's the only one who's ever been elected by rohkana and he's the only one who's ever been elected by rohkana and he's the only one who's ever been elected by rohkana and he's the only one who's ever been elected by rohkana and he's the only one who's ever been elected by rohkana and he's the only one who's ever been elected by rohkana and he's the only one who's ever been elected by rohkana do it as a protest candidate, okay? Even though I'm not even born in the country, that's a long story. I think you can run if you're not born in the country because of the 14th Amendment, but that's not important. I'm mainly running as a protest candidate. So Gallup includes me in the first poll and I get 2%. Now, wait a minute, 2% for a guy literally no one in mainstream media talked about as a candidate who's an online talk show host. Most candidates like senators and governors never get to 2%. When Trump first started, he was at 1%. When Bernie first started, he was at 1%. Okay, so 2%, as comically low as it sounds, is a real number because my guess is they put me in the poll because they thought I was going to get zero. I mean, what percentage of the population votes? Do you know? Oh, it's around 50%, but not in primaries. Primaries are much lower. That's your base of bases that usually vote in primaries. 50% of the 50% of the population. Of potential voters vote in elections. So now- Do you know, I'm just curious because you have almost 7 million subscribers on your channel. That's, I mean, that's got to be 2% of the voting block. Yeah, we overall for the TYT network, we have 32 million subscribers. Holy shit. Okay, so we're a hidden giant because people just think Young Turks, that's the flagship show. But we- We have like a dozen other shows. We have 24-hour channels on Samsung, YouTube TV, LG, Roku, Amazon Prime, you name it. We've got like a cable channel on all of those, right? So we're this, but mainstream media hates us so much, as you can tell for obvious reasons, right? That they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't ever talk about them. Don't ever talk about their network. Don't talk about how we're larger than almost anyone online. But I want to finish that story real quick. So I get to 2%. And they're like, holy shit, that's better than like half the senators and governors, right? They never put me in another poll. Are you serious? Yep. Pull it, pull it, pull it. Let's go. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So no mainstream media coverage, no polls. They're trying to eliminate by default, okay? But because of online media, they won't be able to do it this time around. So let's say, again, let's say Roe or Massey as examples. They run for president. They run for president, right? And they go, okay, we're not putting Tom Massey in the polls. We're not putting Ro Khanna in the polls. Everybody's going to go, what? Like, no, no, what is this? You know what? Fuck it. We'll do the poll. You think I can't do a poll? The other day I was on Tucker's show and I asked people, do we owe Israel? Okay. Because mainstream media keeps saying we owe Israel. I don't know why we owe Israel, right? Why do we owe Israel? What is the explanation? So I asked mainstream media, why don't you do a poll if you're so sure that Americans think we owe Israel? And of course, none of them do the poll. Then I went to my audience. I was like, hey, you guys want to fundraise for a poll? Boom, immediately sent us, it doesn't take that much, like $1,500 to one question, right? So we got that in a day. We do the poll. Of course, the huge percentage say, no, we don't owe Israel. A tiny percentage are like, yeah, we owe Israel. They don't want to do that. But so my point is, we'll put Massey and Khanna in a poll. Who cares, right? We don't need you guys. And if you don't believe our poll, then you do it, right? And until you put them in a poll, we're going to embarrass you. We're going to humiliate you, right? And the more they try to exclude our candidates, and let's say it's not Khanna or Massey, it's a third party guy, whoever, it doesn't matter who it is, right? And they're like, okay, we're not including him. It's not your choice, brother. It's not. Look, RFK Jr., when he was barely a Democrat in the first round of the primaries against Biden, last time around, he got up to 25% in a poll. Wow. He's barely a Democrat. And he's a little wacky, in my opinion. And he got to 25%. You know why? Because people are hungry for someone who's different, right? So they're not going to be able to keep us out. They're not going to be able to take away the spotlight. So my point, what I would do is I would encourage Republicans to go in their primary in 28. And if somebody's working for Israel, you ought to have your head examined if you vote for them. So vote for a clean guy. I'm going to encourage all the Democrats to vote for a clean guy on our side. And whoever gets the clean candidate is going to win, period. Like, if we have Ro Khanna versus Ted Cruz, the Republicans are cooked, right? No chance. Or Marco Rubio, Mr. I swear I'll work for Israel, right? So we'll crush, crush, crush, right? So, but let's say neither side gets a clean guy. It's Ted Cruz versus Buttigieg, right? Then fuck it. Then we'll do a third party, okay? And Democrats will hear this and be like, we know it, you're disloyal. No, no, brother, you're disloyal to the American voters. And you're disloyal to Democratic voters. They said no Israel, but you put up Israel's bitch anyway. So if you're defying 80% of your own voters, well, then we're going to defy you because you're not my uncle. The Democratic Party is not, I don't owe you anything, man. And all you've ever done is hate me, even though I was trying to get you to win elections instead of losing them. Right? So I don't owe you a fucking thing, okay? You're supposed to be our representatives. If you don't represent us, you owe us, motherfucker. You owe us. And if you don't represent us, politically speaking, not physically, we're going to put your head on a stick, okay? And after we put enough heads on sticks politically, and after we get the clean president, now you guys are fucked, okay? Now we're going to come and take all of you out. I would tell any Democrat that's running this clean, make me the enforcer. I swear to God, I'll get them all out, okay? They won't be able to stop us. You make villains out of them. It's not that hard. We're having a vote, like the vote they just had on Israel. Seven Democrats vote for Israel. If there was a clean Democratic president, and I was the enforcer, I'd go to the press conference in the White House, and I'd put the seven of them, their pictures up on giant posters, and the amount they took from AIPAC underneath, and go, here's what Chuck Schumer sold you out for, here's what Fetterman sold you out for, and Kirsten Gillibrand, and Blumenthal, all of them, okay? They're all crooks. You should hate them, and you should shame them, okay? Never do anything physical, never do anything violent, because that's a trap, okay? It's on its own, but secondly, it'll ruin the movement. The minute you do any violence, they'll shut it all down, and the surveillance state will come, right? Frustrate the shit out of them by not doing anything physical or violent. But do I get to shame someone? You're goddamn right I do, okay? Blumenthal works for Israel, and I don't give a fuck what you say, and he betrayed us, and everyone should shame him, and say, who the hell are you? Why did you betray us? Why are you a betrayer of your own voters? Was it the money, or do you just naturally love Israel more than you love America, and more than you love your voters? Oh, you can't say that to him, he's a Jewish American. Well, Bernie's the Jewish American, and he's the one that will propose the bill. This doesn't have anything to do about religion. Stop hiding behind human shields, okay? We're gonna come and get all of you guys, if you're for Israel. Can we do it? Fuck yeah, we can do it. All we need is a clean president, and then we have the spotlight. Sean, media is politics. I need you to stop what you're doing for a second and really listen.

Price is subject to underwriting and health questions. than mainstream media, you have no idea how good a shape we're actually in. They're not going to be able to buy 28. They could pour in $100 billion, and it's not going to work. Well, I don't know about that. I just think, you know, I've also been thinking about, okay, if this were to happen and I was the establishment, I was AIPAC, I was Israel, whoever, China, how would I deal with this issue? Well, then the money switches to independent media. You know, now we have to be able to, I mean, now we have to worry about you and I. Yep. And everybody of any influence. I mean, which people already are. I mean, I get, I see it on yours too. I get blasted all the time. People think I'm making fucking money off speaking out against what Israel's doing. And it's like, actually, it's quite the opposite. Actually, you know what? I did get, I got a nice propaganda letter that wanted me to come visit Israel and give me a fucking tour. I didn't do it. And, you know, and I mean, I never got the offer, but there was the, what, $7,000 a post or something to be pro-Israel. I don't, I'm not, I haven't, other than bullshit bots and, you know, retarded bag of people on the internet saying that, that the Muslims or the Muslim Brotherhood's paying all, that's just, that's fucking garbage. But, you know, I think that's, I mean, they're going to change. They're going to adapt their tactics. And so I think about how they would do that. And I think they would, there would be a big injection of money into independent media to try to manipulate who we talk to, who we bring on, who we give exposure to. Yeah. So that's definitely going to happen. But, but, So how do you fight that? Yeah. So I still have plenty of good news on that. Okay. So first off, those folks are not going to be able to mobilize quickly enough to affect 2028. Why? Because not only do you have to give money to the influencer, but that influencer has to be good enough to build an audience. Now that's much harder. Now it's easier when you have a big vat of money. It was super hard for us. We started in my living room in a one bedroom apartment in LA with nothing. So we had to build a brick by brick over 24 years, right? Yeah. Sure. You can build it quicker when you have a lot of money, but Ben Shapiro has a lot of money. And like, seems like infinite money from his donors, right? But he can't keep his audience, right? So in the short term, there's all these great news. So what I was going to say earlier is Abdul El-Sayed is running in, in Michigan as a Senate candidate on Democratic side. He's got Haley Stevens taking tons of money from AIPAC. And then someone who's Israel friendly, but is not taking money from AIPAC. Only a hundred thousand. That's the cast. They said, but Abdul starts campaigning with my nephew, Hassan Pike. Okay. So Hassan's a controversial dude. He said a lot of things I wouldn't say. Right. And he said some things that are not right, et cetera. But that's not why they care about him. They care about him because he's anti-Israel. Right. So they start piling out. Ah, Abdul's terrible. He's, you know, with Hassan and it could cancel Hassan and cancel Abdul. Ha ha. We're going to eliminate you. And one of the, the Israel friendly guys are going to win. Since mainstream media started doing that, Abdul El-Said has picked up 15 to 20 points. Are you? Wow. Yes. He surged from number three to almost catching, uh, McMorrow at number one. Okay. Totally backfiring because what you just told the whole country that now is getting it through online media and half of them might hate Hass, right? But you just told them Abdul's clean. He's, he's not, he's not for Israel. He's for America. Okay. So boom, he picks up 15, 20 points in a tiny amount of time. Why? Because nobody was paying attention to that Michigan Senate race. They accidentally put a spotlight on it and said, this is the one guy who's definitely clean of Israel. And people are like, okay, then I'll vote for the guy who's clean from Israel. Right? So you see at it, what a disadvantage they are now in online media. So, okay. Now let's say we won in 28. They couldn't muster up their forces in enough time, but okay. Everybody got wise to what's happening. Now China's pouring in money, Saudi Arabia, Israel, all these guys are pouring in money to online media. It will definitely happen. Okay. Okay. So, well, what do we do? Well, the audience now, remember what I said earlier? Now, the most important part is they're using independent judgment because now I got to pick between the different right wingers between the different left wingers and then between right and left and whatever the fuck. Right? So now all of a sudden, when I use independent judgment is some guys telling me, Oh, China, China, China, China, China, and other guys telling me America, I'm not going to pick the guy that's telling me China, right? So that's a long process. They'll have money, et cetera. But at the end of the day, the number one advantage of online media is it's not a built machine. So when I was on MSNBC, all I had to do was a little bit better than Chris Matthews, who's before me. And I do a little bit better than Ed Schultz, who's the guy who was at six o'clock before me, right? So that's super easy because they already built a machine and they hand you 700,000 viewers or a million viewers. And you just got to get to 1.1 million viewers. Okay. But it's a machine online. No, you don't have a machine. Nobody came to give you a lead audience, Sean, right? And so you had to build it brick by brick. And so you said things that were interesting enough, true enough, right? That you accumulated this massive audience. That's a really hard thing to do. And it's much harder to do when you're bullshitting. So Ben Shapiro did it for a while. He had a really nice sizable audience for a long time, and then he got caught. So that's the beauty of online media. Everybody gets caught. That's true. I think that's true. Yeah. How would you deal with intelligence operatives? Because that though would be another thing that would happen. They would turn candidates into assets, flip them. Maybe they don't flip them. Maybe they don't flip for a year. Maybe the plan is you're not going to flip for a year. You're going to get in here. You're going to do this, but in a year you're going to be beating our drum. Yeah. So look, the bad guys are never going to stop. Why? Because they're not because everybody's going to protect their interests. So if you have a vat of money, whether you're a corporation or you're a foreign government, you're going to want to protect that. And if you can get America to give you endless amount of money, you're going to want to protect that. That's your piggy bank, right? So the money will never stop. The intelligence assets will never stop. All of that. Our job is to protect that flag. Okay. Our job is to be ever vigilant. Okay. And so even when we pass the amendment to get money out of politics, we're not done. Money is like water. It's not like fire. It just keeps pouring back in. Right? So after we pass the amendment, we'll have turned off the main tab. Then we got to tell all of our audiences, be ever vigilant. They'll be back. Okay. So we have to train our audiences to see the patterns. So on Young Turks, what we do is we predict things ahead of time. So you're not, you see that we're not Monday morning quarterbacking it. Okay. And that there is a script and there is an outline and you don't, if we train you well enough, you could see it on your own. You don't even need us. Okay. So on Bill, Bill's legislation, we have a near 100% track record on predicting what's going to pass. You know why we were Nostradamus? No, we're brilliant. No, no, it's easy. Whoever has more money wins every single time. Okay. So for example, then Democrats will say, no, we went on gay marriage. Uh, we had more money on gay marriage. The gay rights groups had a ton of money. And in 2012, they were the number one donors to Obama. In 2008, number one donors to Obama are the big banks. What happens after he wins? He bails out the big banks and even pays their bonuses in 2012. The banks are not giving to him as much anymore because he regulated them like 1%. They're like, how dare you? So now his number one donor becomes gay rights groups. And in 2013, all of a sudden, all right, gay marriage. That's what I meant. So we can train our audiences to see the BS. To see where it's coming from and to see its results and, and even so you'll get screwed. So I set up just Democrats. We get these, we do the litmus test, only one rule, no corporate PAC money, right? No foreign government money. They say we can't win. I asked a bunch of reporters in DC. I said, how many do you think we'll get into Congress? They're like zero, but maybe you'll get lucky. Some will get one, right? Eventually got 12 in. Now there's endless problems. Sean. So AOC and the rest go in first day. She does a sit in Nancy Pelosi Pelosi's office. She's challenging power. Great. We did it. That's exactly what you should be doing. Right? And then she stops doing the sentence. Then she stops doing anything challenging power. And then next thing you know, she's doing like establishment talking points. And then during the 2024, she's saying Kamala Harris is done enough on for Palestinians or whatever. What? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. what? Kamala Harris didn't do anything for Palestinians. You should be furiously challenging her to do better on that issue. By the way, the Democrats do an autopsy after the election. They say in that autopsy, number one reason they lost was because Kamala Harris said she would have the same position as Biden on Israel. Oh, they gave it away. They gave it away, right? But AOC's clean. She doesn't take money from Israel, and she actually votes against them. So why is she doing it? Because they found a new weapon. The new weapon is, don't be so rude to your colleagues. You're being so mean. Hakeem Jeffries is your beloved colleague, and you're a minority, and he's a minority, and you've got to really support them. And remember, if you say anything that's outside what the establishment wants, mainstream CNN and New York Times are going to say, you're terrible, you're dirty, and you're radical, you're an outsider. And they don't want to get burned. They got scared. So they clammed up. So they had good, brave votes. And by the way, the two that spoke up the most against Israel were Jamal Bowman, Cori Bush. Then they got eliminated. When they did, the rest of them got more scared and clammed up even more, right? So I've learned all those lessons. I haven't gone through all of this, right? So no, no, we're not trusting anyone. You do right. Otherwise, we're going to call you out, okay? And so now AOC gets so mad at us when we call her out. She's so furious about it. She attacked Anna the other day as like a grifter. To your point, where's the money? Are you crazy? When you take on Israel, do you know how they cut off different sources of capital for you? Okay? We have been besieged by the Israel First crowd financially. No, it has hurt us massively. And they're like, oh, you're just working with the Republicans. Which Republicans am I working with? Which Republican candidate did I tell you to vote for? Where's the money? Where's, there's no money. What are you talking about? Just people make shit up now, right? So, but that's okay. So, because a bunch of the left wing attacked us when I started talking to Charlie Kirk and Tucker and all those guys. They're like, how dare you talk to them? I'm like, bro, first of all, just on political stuff. Okay, let's put aside the moral issues, but you and I already just talked about all those moral issues and protect. And the flag and caring about the voters, et cetera, and about each other and cultural wars are to divide us and they, they want us divided, but put all that aside, just on politics, Trump won all seven swing states and he won the popular vote. If you don't go talk to the other side, how are you going to win their votes back? Idiots. How are you going to win their votes back? When we lost the popular vote, you have to go and talk to them and say, Hey, did you know we're against war? Did you know we're against Israel? Did you know we're for paid family leave? You have to have a conversation with them, right? They're like, no, you're evil. And you're taking money from the Republicans. We know it. Did they ever prove it? No, they just said it. And they got a whole bunch of people to believe it. And our numbers went down and we took a significant financial hit again. But why do we do it? One, because we believe in it. And I thought I got on the news because I thought people were doing news. When I found out they weren't doing news, I stubbornly, stubbornly demand that we do news and we do the truth, no matter. Even if it hurts us, when we criticize Obama, we lost tons of members paying subscribers because people were trained in tribalism and bipartisan and partisan brain, et cetera. But we did it anyway. Why? Now, fast forward to today, Sean, who has the credibility? We do. That's exactly right. Who earned people's trust? We told you Biden was a bad candidate and we were right. And we told you that on issues like war, we have to unite. Otherwise. We're going to get steamrolled. And we were right. Okay. It doesn't mean this is the thing that a lot of people on the left do. And it drives me crazy. And I'm sure you get it on the right, too. If you talk to or agree with someone on the right on any given issue, that means you love them and you agree with 100 percent of what they say. And you're responsible for every position they have. Who made up that rule? I would love to know. Right. So, okay. So here's an example. The other day, Tucker apologizes for, hey, I'm sorry, man. I didn't know Trump was going to do this. I feel terrible that we misled people. And now he's turning into this establishment prick, basically. Right. And so I thought that was amazing. He didn't have to do that. He's on the right, brother. Like, people on the left are like, no, he should have voted for Kamala. He's not going to vote for Kamala. Okay. So that's not like he's not you. No, I demand 100 percent of what I want. You can demand all day long, but that ain't going to change shit. Okay. So this brother came over and said he was wrong about the war and backing Trump. And then he apologized. You just can't ask for better than that. So Mehdi Hassan's a good ally of mine on Israel and many other issues. He's definitely more to the left than I am in cultural wars and stuff. Right. And Mehdi's like, not good enough. He said things on there with Buckley, his brother, that were very offensive in other ways. Yeah, but brother, I didn't ask. And I literally wrote this. I didn't ask you to marry the guy. I asked you to agree with him and take his apology. Apology on backing Trump and on the war and on Israel. This is the bare minimum, man. It's a super low bar. Take yes for an answer. So some folks on the left drive me crazy. They won't take yes for an answer. We've been anti-war the whole time. I don't mean Young Turks. I mean the left. So like here, here's a great example. Ben Cohen, right? The guy who's Ben and Jerry's, right? He's the Ben from Ben and Jerry's. And Jerry too. Two guys from Vermont who love this country. Okay. They're left-wing Patriots. They were against the Vietnam war. They're against sending our kids to die for other countries, et cetera. They're dead set against Israel and Israel's war crimes, even though they're Jewish Americans and they want Ben and Jerry's to protest Israel. Now they sold it to a giant company and the company won't let them. But Ben Cohen Cohen's going out there. Stop giving money to Israel. They're doing war crimes. Let's support America. Right. And Ben and Jerry's is like an iconic brand, et cetera. So those. We've been the anti-war guys from day one, take credit for it. And when your brothers and sisters, and yes, even if they're right wing, they're your brothers and sisters here in America, when they come to your side, show a little grace, right? And show, show that you, that they, it was a worthy effort to, to come to that side. Okay. So they, they drive me crazy, but it doesn't matter at the end of the day, Sean truth is gone. It is going to win out. So right now we're back to super healthy on the young Turks and TYT we're back to, you know, dominating as a network, et cetera. And so, and we didn't do that with any money. We haven't gotten any money since we started doing any of this money has been taken away, not given in at all, but the audience has held us up on their shoulders. They just keep becoming members and donating and not letting us fall apart. Right. And now we're back. Why? Cause people go, I got eyes and ears, man. They were right the whole time and they were looking out for us the whole time. So I let China and Saudis and the Israelis come to online media, uh, as the Iranians say, we are waiting for you. Okay. So now you're on our home turf, man. So after Trump won, I wrote a tweet that got a lot of people on the left angry. Right. And, and they misunderstood. I said, look, even though I was dead silent. I said against Trump and I fought like hell against Trump and he, and he won, I'm in a weirdly hopeful, optimistic mood because I said, why? Because Trump won. No, because mainstream media has been defeated. The establishment has been defeated. So we have broken out of an establishment prison and we're now in the populous woods and that's our woods come to Papa. Okay. Come get some. So in these woods, we went before in that prison, we were never going to win as long as they had a monopoly on media. As long as they had a monopoly on the politicians, we were cooked for the rest of the time. But now that we're in these woods, they're in a world of hurt. These woods are red, white, and blue. Okay. We got Patriots on the right. We got Patriots on the left. And so how do we unite? So let's get to the most important thing, right? So some folks. Some folks on the left and right say, if you unite, that means you got to agree on every single issue. Bullshit. Don't believe that bullshit. No way. Okay. No, you agree on them issues that are the most important. So how do you agree? Well, the form of agreement is a vote. Okay. So it doesn't mean vote for candidates. I told you, go vote in your own primaries, right? But when we take a vote on funding, Israel, that one's black and white. Okay. You vote to give them money. And we're going to eliminate you, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, period, period, not another dollar.com. I don't, it's just a pledge. You, you can do your own internal pledge. You don't have to go there just to, but one by one, take out everyone supporting Israel, put in people supporting America. Okay. So if you don't, if you're on the left or right, and you tell people not to unite on that vote, nah, you're not even on any side, right? That, that means you're just a tool of the establishment, whether you know it or you don't. Right. So, okay. Now let's talk about money out of politics. amendment, the most important thing in the world, okay, to clean up the whole country. Can we unite on that? Fuck yeah, we could unite on that. Why can't we unite? Okay, your state's going to call for a convention. Go make sure your state representative calls for that convention to get to call. You don't even need Congress for an amendment. You know that? You can get two-thirds of Congress, but they're not going to do it because they're crooks, at least this current Congress. But you can get two-thirds of the states to call for an Article 5 convention, okay, formed Wolfpack a long time ago, fightcorruption.us, okay? Their slogan is fight corruption, not each other, okay? So when we go to vote on a convention, when we go to vote on ratifying an amendment, okay, we all unite. We unite to defeat corruption. It's super clean. You're not voting on abortion. You're not voting on gay rights. You're not voting on any of that, okay? That's for another day, just like you said, after we clean up the elections, after we- after we free America and we get our sovereignty back, then great, let's have the abortion debate. Let's have all those other debates. That's beautiful. That's a part of America, right? But for now, we have to stop the bleeding. We have to put out the fire, right? And the fire is money in politics. So we unite to end that. And you, by the way, they'll do all this fear-mongering. They'll say, oh my God, if you start a convention, they could propose any amendment. And they could, the right wing is going to- the left wing is going to propose that it, you know, a Christian nationalist win. And then the other side is going to say, oh, the left wing is going to propose that every other president be a disabled LGBTQ minority, right? Yeah, but you need three quarters of the states to ratify. So you could propose anything you like, but there's plenty of blue states and plenty of red states. You can't get anything ratified as an amendment unless the whole country agrees. And there's only one thing the whole country agrees on. Get the goddamn money out. Fuck corruption. Yeah, yeah. I think it's a possibility. It starts with a discussion, right? So what do you think about concentrating more on state politics rather than federal? So look, there are things that are good and wonderful, but are kind of dead ends. Like, so if you're fighting, let's say you're on the left and you're fighting for climate change in California or in Tennessee, right? You're only going to be able to get so much through the state and bless your heart, they could still help around the edges, right? And I'm not against it, but it's not going to solve your overall problem. Until you get money out, money's going to win on all those issues at the national level anyway. So you're kind of on a treadmill. On the other hand, the states can call for a convention in the way that I just explained. That then makes them supernova important. That's why, like, if I had my way, everybody would vote for me. Everybody would go to fightcorruption.us. And so that started as left wing, but they're dying for more right wingers and independents to join them because we need red states and blue states and we need to work together. If you're not working together, you're not going to win. Go convince your state reps, Wolfpack, that's the group that started it, already got a pass in five states calling for a convention to get money out of politics. Okay? So if we expand that and we do it enough, yeah, then state parties and the state, you know, I mean, we've been hearing a lot about, you know, not paying our taxes this year, things like that. And, and yeah, that sounds great. I don't want to pay my fucking taxes. I'm tired of them going overseas. I want to see improved. I want to see, I mean, I had this discussion with Roe because he had that, you know, that tax policy that everybody left Silicon Valley, you know, and I said, why, why do you keep wanting to raise money? Why do you keep wanting to raise taxes? Why, why don't you, why don't we get a handle on the corruption? Like the shit that just was unveiled in Minnesota. I don't know how you feel about that, but I'm pretty pissed about it. A lot of the fraud that's going on in California right now that Nick Shirley kind of uncovered, you know, not kind of, he uncovered it and all of our money going overseas, going to Ukraine, going to Israel, going, going everywhere. I mean, I've got a sheet somewhere in here that breaks it all down. How much is leaving? And I don't know how far fetched this is. I could be fucking absolutely crazy. But what if you had a governor? What if you had a state assembly that said, we're not paying for, we're not fucking paying federal taxes anymore. I'll tell you what we're going to do. We don't need your funding. I don't need your education shit. I don't need anything from the fucking federal government. Fuck you. We're going to raise our state taxes to fund ourselves. And it'll still be less than what you're paying for state and federal all the time. We'll take care of ourselves. Fuck you, federal government. We'll do our roads. We'll do our education. We'll take care of our vulnerable and elderly. We'll handle it. We don't need your shit. Is that a possibility? Is that a discussion that could happen? Because it would catch like fucking wildfire if it did. So first of all, let me say that on taxes, I understand what you guys are saying and Anna's saying it too, right? Which is, look, we're for higher taxes on billionaires, for example. Like they cry all the time. Like, oh, 5%, I can't afford it. Bro, you at least have at least a billion dollars. If they took 5%, you still have $950 million. You're not even going to notice it. Okay. But okay. But now a lot of people say, yeah, I hear you. But what's the point? What's the point if the taxes are just going to fund wars and Israel and oil subsidies and drug companies? That's the thing. I don't think that's, and that's what I told bro when he was here. Yeah. You know, I was, I was like, I, cause he keeps, he's like, people need to be patriots like you, you serve the country. You put your life on the line. I'm like, yeah, I did, but I don't want to fucking pay any more in taxes because I never see it. I, I, I never see it come back. I don't see better roads. I don't see better education. I don't see fucking. Better anything. I just see our country falling apart. It looks like shit. There's trash everywhere. Our fucking power grid is a complete disaster. It has been for a long time. A lot of people don't even have fucking clean water. Yeah. What the fuck are you raising taxes for? It's not coming here. It's going there and there and there and every fucking where else. So, uh, and so that's, if I saw this shit coming back, and I was like, man, this fucking state is clean. This, this country is clean. These roads are amazing. Our education's amazing. We got free healthcare. We don't like all that shit. You fuck. Okay, great. Yeah. I'll pay those taxes. I don't want to pay taxes when they're, when they're getting shipped out to shit all over the world, except us. So let me do a couple of layers. So why wouldn't we do a tax strike? So first example, to back up what you're saying is in California, we raised, I think about $24 billion for, uh, to help the homeless yet homelessness went up 53%. So where the fuck did the money go? Where'd the money go? I don't mind paying it. I want to help not only the homeless, but all of us, the community, because I want clean streets. I want my kids to be able to go to the local park and play there and not have it be at homeless encampment. But I also don't want the homeless to be treated in a way that's cruel. I want them to get help for whether it's mental health, drug addiction, whatever it might be. Right. So good news. We gave plenty of money to do that. And the result is bupkis, nothing. So now when they propose new, uh, you know, we have nothing but prompt propositions in California, right? All those ballot measures. Now, when they propose the ballot measures, I'm super skeptical, like, because I gave it to you the first time, the eighth time and the 12th time, and I never saw any results. So I mean, I think you're just keeping it for you and your donors. Right. So, uh, so I hear you, I hear you loud and clear. Right. And what I would counsel Democrats is don't even start talking about raising the taxes until we clean up the government first. Stop the bleeding. Right. Once you had a clean government and you could show people, Hey, I did raise taxes for billionaires or whatever. And here's what you got from it. Here's one, two, three. Okay. You do that. Then everybody would be like, raise taxes. Right. In fact, 76% of Americans already think that the rich pay too little in taxes. Okay. 76%, three quarters. But they're thinking the same thing we're thinking. Yeah. But even if you raise the taxes, where's it going to go? Right. But if you cleaned up politics, you got money out of politics and people could see the results of it, then that 76% is going to come back and go, okay, now let's tax the rich because I could see the roads, the bridges and the schools that you built with it. Right. So, but right now that's not happening at all. So back to the tax strike, look, tax strikes are super hard because they'll start picking you off one by one. Right. They'll start arresting people for not paying your taxes. And then once they put like 12 guys and 120 guys in prison, everybody else is going to get super skittish. Oh, I'm aware of that. And who they're going to put in prison is me and you and anybody else with a voice that's not going to pay their taxes. And that's why I'm saying, what if it's a state? What if it's a state decision? Super difficult because getting off the federal money is so much federal money in all the states for them. say we're going to come completely off of it. That is going to be brutal. And so, look, it's not that it's impossible. There are, for example- I know it's out there. I get it. Yeah. So, but there are certain things that'll trigger a reaction that like, so for example, we talked about violence earlier. The minute you do violence, you're screwed and the whole movement's screwed because then they bring in the surveillance state, right? And that's what's coming next. That Larry Ellison, after bragging about buying off Rubio stuff the other day on air, he said, oh, we can track every citizen and know where they are at all times. It was almost like a threat, right? So, to me, don't break the law, don't do anything physical, but we can do it with just our votes in the ways that we just described, okay? But there are times, Sean, when it gets to a point of desperation, right? So, or it's just the right time. For example, another thing that's in our arsenal that we never use, and I wouldn't use now because it'll fall apart and it won't work because you don't have enough momentum, but towards the end of a campaign like this, a general strike, okay? That's when all the workers in the country go, you know what? I'm not showing up. Now, what are you going to do? Go ahead. Build your AI bullshit with no workers. Go ahead. Okay. One day, they'll feel some pain. General strike goes on for two weeks. It'll shut the whole economy down. It'll make rich people shit their pants, okay? It'll make the corporations panic. It'll make the politicians panic. And so, that is a super powerful tool in our arsenal. And if it gets to a point where we're meeting tremendous resistance, but we're close to winning, you hit them with a general strike, and they're in for a world of hurt. And that one, hey, you can't arrest somebody for not showing up to work. I'm on strike. I got a right to go on strike. And what are you going to do? Fire the whole country? Right? So, there are things like that. I would never get to physical or violence because then you're disqualified, and you're in jail, and the movement's gone. Taxes, not paying your taxes is in the middle, right? Because it's against the law. It's not physical, but it's against the law. But if the state does it, it'll have a state versus federal thing. And the courts could come in, and the courts could say, you're not allowed to do it, right? And the courts are generally not on our side. They're the guys who made. Legalize bribery. Citizens United and all the other decisions. So, those are very difficult. Could there be a time where. I mean, that leads to the federal government would have to initiate violence. Yeah. So, here's a scenario. Which means they fucking lose. Here's a scenario where you could, that tax strike. You could bait them into it and fucking make them lose. Here's, like, if I stretch my imagination, I could find a scenario. Like, let's say we're doing, we're going state by state. We call for a convention, right? And we got two-thirds of the states to call for a convention, and Congress should say, okay, now we're going to have a convention to come up to propose amendments, right? And Congress goes, no, we're not doing it, okay? What do you mean you're not doing it? It's in the Constitution. Once two-thirds of the states call for it, you have to call for a convention. You don't have a choice. They're like, well, we're not doing it. All right, fuck it. Then Rhode Island. Montana, Wyoming, Hawaii, these are all small states, so maybe they got a shot, and they're both very right and very left, right? Tax strike, okay? So, that's a moment where if, at that point, four, six, eight really right-wing and left-wing states go, we're doing a tax strike, and we're not paying the federal government anymore, maybe that forces their hand. Because then you say, hey, like Martin Luther King did civil disobedience, what people don't realize is that Martin Luther King said, you know the law was on our side. Every one of those arrests that the cops did was a false arrest, right? Because the federal law was actually on our side. We were right, right? We had a right to sit at that counter. We had a right to do that protest, et cetera. You make the government be the bad guys. That's why civil disobedience was such a good idea, and that's what you were just suggesting. If Rhode Island. It's already happening in Minnesota. Mm-hmm. I mean, you see these ICE shootings. I looked at that. I've been to combat. I spent 14 fucking years in lethal situations. That first tape where, what was it, like six guys? That's six guys in ski masks surrounding an American, a single American woman in a vehicle. What the fuck would anybody have done? Yeah. If I was sitting in a car as a former SEAL and CIA guy, and six guys came up with fucking ski masks surrounding my car telling me to get the fuck out, I'd do the same damn thing. Yeah. I mean, all she was doing was driving away, and they shot her in the head. That's what I'm saying. I made it sound like she was trying to run them over. Even if she was, that man, his life was not in fucking danger. No way. And he should not have taken that shot. And then the second one happened. And so they're already initiating violence. That's so important, Sean. So I want to build on that. So they pretend to be tough guys. First of all, if you're a tough guy, law enforcement in this country doesn't wear masks. We wear badges because we represent the community, right? And you need to see the badge, and you need to see the face. Thuggish, third-world dictators. Third-world dictatorships have no badges and masks. Second of all, you pretend to be tough guys, but you shoot a woman from the side when she's already passed you in the head. Then you're kind of a pussy, okay? Don't tell me you're tough. You disarm Alex Preddy, and there's, what, six of you, eight of you, however many of you? There wasn't even a fucking. I mean, it was, well, you don't have all the context. I get it. I know. I've been in these situations. I know context. Context matters. And so I wanted to believe that was a justified shoot. That's why I watched it so many fucking times. But I just, I mean, you can see down the street, both ways. I was like, well, maybe there's a massive violent protest happening. Dude, that street was dead. And what. The only people out there were the outcasts. The ICE agents. Totally. And what did Preddy do? He went to go protect a woman who was getting pushed around, okay? That's what a patriot's supposed to do. That's what an American's supposed to do. That's what a man is supposed to do, okay? And he didn't protect her with the weapon. He didn't take out the weapon, and they disarmed him, and then they executed him, okay? So that's not what tough guys do. That's what pussies do, okay? I don't. I just, I also want to say I don't, in my opinion, these weren't stand-up human beings, but they were. They were whatever. But they did not deserve to be fucking killed. So, okay. So, but why did they do that? This goes to your point, Sean. Because once you get. Because you think, like, really, their command. This comes up from the top. Like, the Israelis say the same thing. The commanders spit on the dead civilians. The commanders urinate on the civilians, right? The commanders show you how to do it. In this case, they were told, get rougher, okay? And. And if you got to use lethal force, don't hesitate, right? So those orders come from below. That's why you see it in Preti, and you see it with the woman who was shot, right? So, okay, why are they doing that? Because they're trying to get you used to it. They're trying to get you used to a government that is not accountable to you, that doesn't have to show you their face. Desensitizing. They are getting you used to the violence, a government that does violence against American citizens willy-nilly. Like, and treats it as normal. And they're trying to get you used to the surveillance thing, right? Because once they do. Because the next step, since we now see the iceberg, we see the money in politics, we see the foreign governments, we see it all. The next step is shut it down. Go straight to oppression. And if you're going to oppression, you need a surveillance state. And you need guys who can't be identified, who do government violence, etc. But in this case, in fact, you're saying the ICE agents were wrong, right? It's even you are saying it. Even Tucker's saying it. Anybody who's got eyes and ears is saying it, right? So, Rogan's saying it, right? So, we can disagree on the immigration policy, but we can agree on this. This isn't right. Don't let them get you used to it. You remember the don't tread on me flags, right? They're treading all over you, man. This is not a right-wing, left-wing issue. Remember when the right-wing was worried about big government? This is what big government looks like. I'm aware. I'm aware. I don't even think right and left anymore, man. I'm just being honest. I really don't. I don't give a fuck. I don't think any of it means a damn thing anymore. It's just, are you American or are you not? And that's it. It's the only fucking question I have. You're so right about that, Sean, because think about it. All the things that they do to divide us, like all the way to Christians, you should hate Muslims. There's 2 billion of you. you and two billion of you if you guys are fighting each other why why do you have to hate muslims why do i have to hate christians what a crazy thing i don't have to hate anybody no okay republican democrat left right but wait a minute so everyone on the right wing has to agree to 100 of this agenda and everyone on the left wing has to agree to 100 of this agenda well which robot would agree with 100 of any agenda no we're all human beings we have different opinions right so isn't like 44 as a silent majority yeah and now independents are larger than both republicans and the democrats so when they try to get you to to follow any ideology 100 you know it's a trap you know that it's a thing that's meant to get you to fight the other side and to divide the country because once the country is you know it's a trap you know that it's a thing that's meant to get you to fight the other side divided among republicans and democrats but the donors are funding both it's perfect think about it this way let's say that you're in a town it's a little town it governs itself and one guy has all the money and he got it in an unfair way by rigging the rules so you know less regulations whatever right he rigged the rules and he's got all the money if everybody in the town finds out what he did he's in a world of trouble right but if he can get the town folks to fight each other instead of him ah he's on easy street he gets to keep the money and he just pays a little bit to this side and a little bit to the other side to just rile them up rile them up and get them to fight each other once they're fighting each other they don't look up and what i'm telling the whole country and i don't give a damn what you think you are in the political spectrum okay look up brothers and sisters look up the guy reading the rules is not an immigrant who came in with zero dollars in his pocket he doesn't have the money or the power to do it and it's definitely not your brother on the right or your brother on the left it's not your neighbor we don't have enough power the middle class doesn't have enough power a random republican doesn't have enough power a random liberal doesn't have enough power the guys with all the money the donor class that's who's rigging the rules that's who's got the power and they love dividing us so don't fall into the trap make sure that on the key issues war foreign governments corruption we stay united as a country and we protect that flag so here's another left-wing patriot bruce springsteen okay he grew up in freehold new jersey i had alice in free of my parents moved to freehold new jersey okay he lived on randolph street we lived on randolph road okay i go to the sub shop that he writes about in some of his songs with you hear the smell of the coffee from the nestle factory in freehold right and what does bruce write about so he's on the left and can anyone really challenge how much bruce springsteen loves this country and all the songs are about average americans and how the bankers came and destroyed his hometown and my favorite song is the one where he says wherever that flag is flown we take care of our own okay so the patriots on the left and the patriots on the right have to unite fuck the political spectrum fuck politics as usual let's win on these massive issues these major issues so we're going to have to figure out how we gain our freedom and this is a perfect time for this is the 250th anniversary of our freedom and our independence so we all gotta rally and make sure we gain that freedom and independence back on this anniversary i love that i love that and the fact that you know you just said i thought this but you just said it that the independent boning block the silent majority outnumbers the democrats and the republicans i mean right there the answer lies within that there's the data that's what we need that's how we do it i've said this before but sleep is one of those things that affects everything if you're not sleeping right you feel it the next day for me switching to a helix mattress made a big difference i didn't realize how much my old setup was holding

On the specifics, of course, there's no way I could know or you could know what happened to those guys, right? Mm-hmm. But the most important thing is don't trust the government or the mainstream media, okay? So the phrase "conspiracy theory" is actually a conspiracy in and of itself, okay? This is hilariously trippy. But once JFK got shot, from then on, they started using this phrase, "conspiracy theory." It was meant to discredit anything that was not the official government narrative, okay? So if you're outside the government narrative, ironically, the journalists, the media, who are supposed to challenge the government, right, will then, instead of challenging the government, enforce government propaganda. So they say, "If you don't believe that JFK was shot by a magic bullet, conspiracy theory, okay? You're bad. Bow your head to the government." Wait a minute. I thought you guys were supposed to be reporters, right? So they now use the media to declare everything a conspiracy theory if it's not the official government position. So honestly, I didn't know that for a long, long time. I now know it. I figured it out through all of these current events, right? Because it became a pattern that was undeniable. So that is a way to shut down the conversation. Do not let them shut down the conversation, okay? Mm-hmm. So here, let's take a benign one that isn't that political. Aliens, right? So they told us our whole life, conspiracy theory, right? Now Obama has verified that there was aliens. Trump has then kind of accidentally verified it by saying-- Ironically, at the height of the Epstein files, the height of it when everybody was fucking pissed, that's when this shit came out. All of a sudden, distractions. Oh, and now all of a sudden, you've got congressman and fucking senator oh yeah aliens are breeding with human beings like it's not like but wait you told me a minute ago that was a conspiracy theory right i'm sorry what the fuck did you just drop that aliens are breeding with fucking human beings just nonchalantly like it's like it's almost common knowledge and and and then you don't give us anything else like it's enough for the peons yeah fuck you exactly fuck you and your fucking distraction and now we know that you're just sticking up for pedophiles once again so now especially on the left if you say that you're willing to question the official narratives you get a world of pain okay so for example if i say i don't believe the government on the charlie kirk shooting okay i don't know what happened i don't know who did it i don't have the inside information but it is very unlikely to be the story they told a lot of people on the left a lot of people on the left and certainly in mainstream media and the establishment which the democrats care way too much about they'll be like that's outrageous oh you become a lunatic lunatic radical right there's a lot of lunatics out there yeah i'm like yeah i don't care anymore you can shove that all those you know accusations up your ass because i'm going to use my own judgment i'm not going to blindly believe the government that is not a left wing position the left wing is supposed to super aggressively challenge the government and those that are in power by the way same thing with the right wing you're supposed to challenge big government etc so don't tell us to shut up and be quiet okay so i have no idea what happened to those guys and i don't know who it's connected to there is one country this is the only data point i'll put out there and again it doesn't mean it's just one data point okay but there is one country that kills nuclear physicists on the regular that's israel they brag about and daniel just did it last week these are everything i say is on taping confirm it okay he said the other day oh we murdered eight uh iranian physicists and we got them ha ha then we murdered another 12 physicists uh and we got them and now they don't have any physicists left and we're in charge and they've been targeting uh iranians and they've been targeting uh iranian physicists uh well before the war started we've been covering it on the young turks they put a bullet in some guy's head as he was picking up his kids from kindergarten he's a civilian he he's a physics professor they shot him in front of his kids to send a message okay so and then i'm amused by the establishment guys who always say like oh yeah yeah the cia for example has killed people in other countries and done coups in the 60s and 70s etc but they never do it inside america are you sure are you doubly sure israel has done x y and z with the pagers and this and lebanon iran and yeah have they done anything but they would never do anything inside america you mean like steal our nuclear secrets because they already did that uh you mean like stealing all the rest of our top secrets because they already did that you tell me israel wouldn't do anything inside america are you blind are you deaf are you are you insane of course they do things inside america they do things inside america all the time i mean they not only we've incentivized them to spy on us and to do anything we like because we declare them above the law you think tom alexander which is bad that's the guy in vegas who did the sexual tourism for american kids that he thought he could rape and get away with which he did luckily he didn't rape him because we caught him before they did anything okay but okay how about galane maxwell's dad robert maxwell okay robert maxwell was the greatest masad agent of all time state burial once he died in israel with a bunch of prime ministers attending etc so what was his coup de grace he's the guy who stole our nuclear secrets and that's why israel has nukes now now here's the kicker we never even arrested him of course we didn't okay wait there's a second kicker first of all so you steal our nuclear secrets there's nothing worse than that by the way the israelis later sold them to the soviets they're the worst okay i looked up why didn't we arrest robert maxwell it would have been an international incident and embarrassed our allies yeah if you steal our nuclear secrets embarrass is the least you should get okay okay now the kicker he then bought the company that produces textbooks for our schools after he stole our nuclear secrets we let him buy the textbooks that go into our schools and lo and behold the textbooks say that israel was attacked in 1948 not that it massacred the palestinians and took their lands it says that israel was attacked in 1967 that's a flat-out lie israel did a preemptive strike and attacked all their neighbors in 67. okay what are we doing here like israel's been running this country for so long so israel's been running this country for so long so if you tell me no you're not allowed to ask if you tell me no you're not allowed to

ostracized by a lot of people on the ostracized by a lot of people on the ostracized by a lot of people on the left for that left for that left for that they'll say oh you sound like a they'll say oh you sound like a they'll say oh you sound like a conspiracy guy and are are you conspiracy guy and are are you conspiracy guy and are are you intimating that maybe it was it wasn't intimating that maybe it was it wasn't intimating that maybe it was it wasn't hey dicks they're saying a guy on the hey dicks they're saying a guy on the hey dicks they're saying a guy on the left higher level of thinking left higher level of thinking left higher level of thinking like i i'm saying the guy on the left like i i'm saying the guy on the left like i i'm saying the guy on the left didn't do it i don't think right i don't didn't do it i don't think right i don't didn't do it i don't think right i don't know what happened right know what happened right know what happened right but look at how they brainwash people so but look at how they brainwash people so So they got folks on the left saying, no, no, the left-wing guy did it. Left-wing guy did it. Why? Why are you saying that when it might not even be true, right? Because, nope, you have to believe the official government narrative because that's what everybody on CNN and the New York Times is saying. And if you don't believe it, they'll ostracize you. They'll shun you and they'll say no one should talk to you and power should get nowhere near you, okay? So that's how this game is placed. So don't listen to them. Ask a lot more questions about those guys. Let's go figure it out together, man. Who knows? Maybe we'll, I mean, we do better work than the FBI does. I mean, Tucker found out more about Thomas Crooks than the FBI did, right? Yeah. Like you watch what Tucker, I didn't know that stuff that Tucker uncovered about Thomas Crooks. I thought that there was nothing wrong with Butler. I gave Trump a lot of credit. I said, well, that was pretty courageous to come out and say, fight, fight, fight, right? After the brother got shot, that's bold and stuff. Now I'm seeing the guys move the photographers into place and all of a sudden Crooks is eliminated instantly. Do I know what happened? No, I have no idea. But now I'm starting to wonder about the official story. Once you start wondering, you start seeing, oh, wait a minute. So let me get this right. Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK with the magic bullet. And then before anybody could talk to him, Jack Ruby, a mobster, shoots him dead. And a guy who was on the record before, he had made public statements saying how much he hated JFK. Why did a mobster shoot a guy who killed a guy he hates? Don't ask any questions. Bullshit. Ask a thousand questions. Don't ever stop asking. I thought they were going to unseal that, by the way. What's that? Yeah. So they go to unseal it. And then we find out through Joe Kent and others, they didn't give you the real stuff. Yeah. And the real stuff's not written down anyway. Yeah. Right. And on the Epstein files, again, Roe Kahn and Tom Massey, great job. We get about half the files. And in that stuff, there's a story about how one of the victims, who was a confirmed victim, says that she had a baby and they took the baby away. And she's never seen the baby again. So I thought that was all conspiracies. But now all of a sudden, there it is in black and white. And that's a confirmed survivor, right? So where's the baby? Mm-hmm. What happened to the baby, right? I thought pizza was bullshit, you know, like pizza gate and all that stuff. And then you look at it and you're like, oh my God, pizza did mean kids. And by the way, who? Who knew that pizza meant kids and then leaked it to the public, right? Because somebody knew it meant it, and that's how it got into the public. And they knew all along, right? So then don't tell me there aren't conspiracies. Epstein and the drop site emails, the tranche that he found with him and Ehud Barak, the former prime minister of Israel. Every deal he does is for the benefit of Israel. Every single one. Israel with Russia, Israel with Mongolia, Israel with UAE. He procures cyber weapons for Israel. He's in the middle of Iran-Contra. Don't tell me the CIA didn't know about him. There are no civilians in Iran-Contra, okay? So he's the one that cleaned out the planes. So we use the planes for bringing in drugs. Then Wexner, through Epstein, buys the planes. So you launder the planes. But he's not part of American intelligence. So which intelligence is he a part of? Because he's definitely intelligence. Mm-hmm. And then all of a sudden, he winds up hanged in a committed suicide in a prison. Sure you did. I'll tell you one last thing, Sean. On Epstein, I said on the air, it's on tape, if the camera in the hallway is working and you see nobody go into his cell, then he hung himself and the government's telling the truth. If the camera is magically not working in the hallway. Then they definitely killed him, right? And so that was the prediction ahead of time. So you know I'm not Monday morning quarterbacking it, et cetera, right? Oh, well, you look at that. Magically, the camera in the hallway wasn't working. And the guards were both off duty. And his roommate had been moved out. And the thing that he hung himself was not in the room. Something else that looked like a noose was in the room. Oh, get the fuck out of here. There's a 0% chance he hung himself. No, that one I'm clear on. And who's got enough power to murder someone inside an American prison and have both parties, the Democrats and the Republicans, cover it up for him? There's only one power that's got that kind of strength. The same one that he was working for the entire time. Oh, man. We're in trouble. And if they killed Epstein inside a prison. An American prison. Who can't they kill? Well, nobody. One last thing. Just something I've been thinking about is everybody continues to listen to this bullshit narrative from the White House on why we're going to Iran and how they've been our enemy for 47 years and all this other stuff. And they're right. They've been our enemy for a long time. They've killed a lot of my friends in war. We probably shouldn't have been there to fucking begin with. But. They did. But that's not what this is about. If that's what this was about, we wouldn't be sending the Taliban 40 to 87 million fucking dollars in cash every week. We fought them for over 20 fucking years. I fought them for 14. That flag came from an Afghan American, goes by the name Legend, who still works over there for the resistance, with the resistance every once in a while. He's the one that uncovered that on this show. Brought that flag in from the Taliban, burning it and fucking Kabul, Afghanistan. So I framed it. If this was about old enemies, we wouldn't be funding one right now. Also, we wouldn't be parading around the president of Syria, who is fucking cutting our heads off all over Congress and the White House. So let's break that. So save me the fucking bullshit on why we're there and how Iran's been our enemy for 47 years. Fuck you. You don't give a shit about our enemies. You're in bed with one. I mean, look at all the patterns, right? Not you. Yeah, of course. So look at all the patterns. In Iraq, they told us they have weapons of mass destruction. Where do we get that fake intelligence from? Oh, look at that. Our allies in Israel gave us the fake intelligence. Okay? So and they said, oh, he's funding proxy groups, Hamas, et cetera. Well, that's not our business. That's your business, right? So we went and lost how many guys in Iraq, right? Thousands. Over 50,000, I think, were injured or 35,000 injured, right? You know, terrible, terrible injuries. Don't forget the suicides that came after, too, that are still happening. So for what? And Iraq didn't attack us on 9-11. You made that up, right? Everybody knows that Iraq didn't attack us. Iraq was against al-Qaeda. Saddam would execute al-Qaeda on the spot. Because al-Qaeda wanted to topple the local Middle Eastern governments. Iran is against al-Qaeda. Iran helped us fight ISIS. Okay? So has Iran done things to us that were bad? Of course. Right? Would I want to live under the Grand Ayatollah? No. Okay? So I grew up in a Muslim family, and I'm an atheist now. So I'd be the first on the chopping block because you left a religion that is totally unacceptable. Okay? So I don't. It doesn't mean I like the regime. It doesn't mean we haven't had conflict with them. But wait a minute. Who did more IEDs in Iraq? Was it Iran or was it Saudi Arabia? Because the Saudis funded a huge Sunni insurgency against us in Iraq. But, oh, the Saudis are our allies. Why are they our allies? Because they give us oil and they're allies with Israel. People don't know that, but the Saudis and the UAE have been working with Israel all along. Okay? So. All of a sudden, we have to go protect Saudi Arabia, even though they might have killed more Americans than the Iranians did in Iraq. Right? So none of this makes sense. None of the government positions make sense. Why did they say 47 years? Because after the war started, it became obvious that we had no reason to go to Iran. So they had to invent a reason after the fact. So they're like, okay, Iran, what did they do? Well, if we talk about the roadside bombs, the Saudis did more. 47 years ago, they attacked our Marines in Beirut. So we got to go back 47 years to find a reason to attack them for American interests, because we don't have any interest there. Only the Israelis have interest. So once the Israelis want us to do something, they invent talking points and they invent enemies. That's why the global war on terror is the global war on Israel's neighbors, so that we, like suckers, have our guys die and come home in caskets. And we spend $8 trillion fighting their wars so that Netanyahu can brag, as he did after we started the Iran war. This is also on tape. We are now going to be the sole regional superpower after Iran is eliminated. Okay? And we might even become a global superpower, he said, after we do all his dirty work for him. And this is another amazing fact. You know, the population of Israel, the closest other country to that population, to give you a sense of relative size, I looked it up, nearly identical population, Papua New Guinea. Are you serious? Yes. That's how small they are. Imagine if our entire foreign policy was structured around Papua New Guinea and we were attacking everyone in the Pacific Islands because we needed to go global. I mean, we would have a global war on terror against all of Papua New Guinea's neighbors. And we'd given Papua New Guinea $320 billion. Everybody would go, what the fuck is this? And then they'd give you a little load of bullshit like, oh, it's okay because they're our special ally. And we have a New Guinea Christian heritage. I mean, all this horse crap, right? And we owe them, et cetera. Why? Why are we letting a country the size of Papua New Guinea dog walk us around the park? No, no, no. We got to do this the right way. You do it through politics. You do it through your vote. Don't give up your power. If you don't vote, that's your power. You're willingly giving it away to a foreign country if you don't vote. So your number one tool in this particular arsenal, in this particular fight, is your vote. Go into your own party's primaries and vote out all the sons of bitches who betrayed America, which is almost all. So, as you know, we were doing this live on Patreon. So, for the past four hours, I think it's been about four hours, they've been collecting questions from the live. So, this one's from Maxine. Any thoughts on Assembly Bill 2624, known on the internet as the Stop Nick Shirley Act that California is trying to pass? So, I actually don't know that particular piece of legislation, but California, whether it's Nick Shirley or not, that's not the important part. California is filled to the room with fraud. By all means, we should investigate all of it. And again, not just because, oh, the right wing would like to do a political attack on Newsom or California. No, no, no, no. The left wing pays taxes in California, and it's our taxes that are getting stolen. It's our money that are getting stolen. We should be more angry than the right wing, and we should investigate. a thousand times, where the fuck did the money go? Where's all the money for housing? Where's all the money that we allocated through the props? Nobody can explain where it is. So we need way more investigations, not less. Thank you. Amy Stroud. After the 2024 cycle and Trump's influence, what's your biggest frustration with the Democratic Party right now? Outside of the obvious AIPAC influence issue, do you think they can win back the working class voters, and how so? Yeah. Okay, so get off the corporate money. That's number one, and foreign government money. But they mentioned that already, basically. So represent the voters, okay? Number two, fire all the consultants, okay? The consultants are the guys who are like, oh, we tested this, and we polled it, and, you know, you should say it like this. And you shouldn't say Medicare for all. You should say universal health care. But you should say, brr, brr, brr, brr, brr, brr. No, brother, they're programming you like you're a robot. If you speak like a robot, everybody hates you. In the old days, when mainstream media had the monopoly, then they only let robots on, so being a robot was an advantage. And they're like, this is a serious, credible candidate. Go ahead. This is the Buttigieg 1000. Go ahead, Buttigieg 1000. I will now tell you how great corporations are, right? But now, when you go on Sean Ryan's show, you go on The Young Turks, you go wherever you go, if you're a robot, you're going to get your ass handed to you, right? So, do you give a shit about the issues? Like, why did you get into this in the first place? I would tell any democratic politician, okay? Do you really mean it? Is there something in your core that drives you to do this? If there is, focus on that and give them what you got, right? And don't be worried about, oh, they're going to say this or they're going to say that. Oh, the establishment won't like that. The right wing won't like this. Independence. Be you. Be you. If you give them someone that isn't you. They're going to vote against you anyway, okay? You might as well give them what you got, warts and all. Don't worry about making mistakes. So, what if Sean doesn't like your, the Ro Khanna's policies on taxes? Fight for it. Make your case, right? And they don't have to agree with you 100%. They just have to trust you that you're honest and you're not some seller, right? Yeah. So, but getting like, you can get Ro to believe that. Getting almost, and you can get Bernie to believe that. Getting almost any other Democrat to believe it that's currently in Congress. God, they love the consultants. They love the lobbyists. They love being a robot. They hate having to answer real questions. They think it's offensive if you ask them questions. They get all like upset about it. Like Ilhan Omar. I like her stance on Israel. I like her stance on plenty of things. And they sanctioned her for, censured her for saying about lobbyists, it's all about the Benjamin. Of course, it's about the Benjamins. What are you sanctioning, right? Meanwhile, Randy Fine says, kill everyone in Gaza, do a Holocaust, no censure, okay? So, but anyways, but the, a guy goes up to her, I think, again, it doesn't matter right wing or left, but I think it was a right winger who asked her some question about her income that she's stated wrong on, on her records. And she's like, I don't have to answer any of your questions. No, Ilhan, you kind of do. Like, no, if somebody's asking you a legitimate question. Not like a stupid gotcha question. And that's a legitimate question. Why did you change your filings, right? You do have an obligation to answer. This person asking you isn't important. The voters are important. You are responsible to answer those questions. So that's what I would tell Democrats. But then these days, but look to me, that's an advantage. Okay. Because if 98% of the candidates in 28, for example, in the primary are going to be corporate robots. The one guy who's not going to be. If he's not a corporate robot, it's going to have a huge advantage. Good point. This is from Bryant Davis. Jank, you often say the real fight is populist versus establishment rather than left versus right. How does progressive populism specifically give power back to the people so their voices actually outweigh corporate donors in Washington? I think we kind of covered this with the podcasts. Yeah. I'll tell you just real quick. There are six things that we focus on for policies. We call it the populist plank. Okay. So they're built to get past the left-right problems. Okay. They all have 67% approval and higher. So get money out of politics. End the endless wars. Paid family leave so moms can take a break. Right. End private equity, buying residential real estate because they're driving up housing prices. Negotiate drug prices. What do you mean we can't negotiate prices in a free market? And higher wages. If you lift up minimum wage, it lifts up all other wages. So that'll create inflation. Now we already have inflation. That helps you keep up with inflation. Right. That's for the average guy. Okay. So if left wing goes towards populism and the right wing doesn't in terms of the politicians, then we'll win. But if we don't do that and the Republican politicians do that, then they'll win because those are super popular policies. But to me, I care about the policies. If a Republican did all six of those things, I would be ecstatic. What do I care about the label? And to a lot of the partisans, that's like heresy. How could you say that? Well, then, bitch, beat them to it. Okay. Then you do it first and you'll get the votes and the love. Right? Don't tell me you didn't do it and they did, but you'd like the credit anyway. No. How different do you think people would think if there was no label on bills, on ideas, on any of this shit? They'd think so different. So, Sean, like they do polls. Last thing on that. They'll ask, how do you think the economy is doing? And if Biden is president, Republicans will rate it much lower and Democrats higher. Trump gets it. The very next day, same poll, and Democrats now say the economy is doing poorly and the Republicans say it's doing better. Bro, it was one day. Like, what happened? Right? Yeah. No, it's the partisan brain. Like, it rots your brain. And it gets you to see the world different. It literally skews your reality, warps your reality. I talked about this with Joe, Ken, too. The OODA loop in the military, you know, control what your enemy is seeing, control their field of vision, and you've got them. Right? And so that's basically what the establishment has done to the American people. They're in our OODA loop, and they're controlling what we're seeing, and that's how they control us. But now because of online media, that's been shattered. Right? So now you're seeing, wait, that's right. Why would I have to agree with someone 100%? That's weird. Normal humans don't do that. So there goes binary. You didn't do that with your family. Of course. Yeah. You don't do that with your wife. What are you going to do? Divorce your wife? I think some of these people probably would kill their fucking wife if that came down to that. From Brandon Cook, how do we stop the downward trend of our average American lives getting harder and more expensive over the next decade? I think we have to stop it. I think we have to. I think we have to. I think we have to. I think we have to. I think we have to. We have to. I think we have to. because they need to recoup their costs, et cetera. Now it's the 12 years. That extra seven years is just killing off the free market. But that wasn't good enough. Then they made it so the government can't negotiate drug prices at all. If they say $1,000, we have to pay $1,000. That's unheard of. No other country in the world has that. It's communism for the corporations, which is corporatism. That's what corporatism is. So we have to protect capitalism. How do we do that? We do it through democracy. That's why I call it democratic capitalism. When you have a democracy, the job of the CEO is to look out for his company. The job of the representative in the House of Representatives is to look out for you, the voters. And he's supposed to make sure they don't get monopolies, they don't pollute your local lake so your kids get poisoned, they don't put lead in the pipes so that we have literally brain damage, that they don't vote for wars to go get your son killed and waste all your money. They look out to protect you. So that's what we have to get back to so we could have sanity in this country. But in order to have democratic capitalism, you need a true democracy where you serve the voters and not the donors. So you see how everything comes back to money in politics. Why? Because you, as a coder, you know if anybody codes out there, and this is, again, common sense. If you will get--. Yeah. Whatever output that you design through your input, right? You write a certain piece of code, you'll get a certain result. You write a different code, you'll get a different result. What is the code of the country? It's the Constitution. So what the Supreme Court did is they hijacked the Constitution. There's a longer conversation about how they did it. It was in '76, '78. And then Citizens United basically shot a dead horse. I wrote about it in my book, Justice is Coming. I told chapter fours about how they captured the government. Chapter five is about how they captured the media. And so in that, what they did was they said, yeah, you have freedom of speech, but corporations are human beings. They also have constitutional rights. So they get to have freedom of speech. And we'll say that money is speech. So they can now have unlimited money that they could put into politics. The Constitution doesn't say that. By the way, they barely won those cases. Byron White was a Supreme Court justice at the time. He voted against these Belotti and Buckley v. Valeo decisions. And he said, this will destroy our democracy. We're signing our own death warrant with this case, OK? Obviously the money will take over, and obviously it'll lead to corruption. He was 100% right, and that's what happened. Since the Supreme Court hijacked the Constitution and changed the meaning of the words to allow corporations to do unlimited speech. We have to change it back, OK? So you can't-- the only thing above the Supreme Court is an amendment. That's why you have to rewrite the code through an amendment. And then they say, oh, well, they're rewriting the code. That sounds super dangerous. Don't mess with the Constitution. No, the Constitution says you should do a political revolution every generation. And well, how do you do a political revolution? Through the amendments. The Founding Fathers are geniuses. Whatever other faults they had. So lucky to have Jefferson and Franklin and Washington and Madison and Thomas Paine, let alone Hamilton and others, all in the same place. We got super lucky. Those guys were geniuses. And they said, if you don't do political revolutions, you'll lead to violent revolutions. They had to do a violent revolution because they didn't have that outlet, right? So they built it in. And they said, to tell you how much you need amendments, we'll pass the first 10. And that's our Bill of Rights. Those are our most important rights, and they're all amendments. Right to speech, right to freedom of religion, seek redress of your grievances, et cetera. So we're supposed to do amendments to get our government back. That's what the Founding Fathers told us. So we got to giddy up. We got to mount up. Everybody put your boots on. Let's go and let's do exactly as they told us to do, get an amendment to rewrite the code to get us back to democracy, back to amendments. We're supposed to do amendments to get our government back.
