Jared Kushner, the same man married to President Trump's daughter Ivanka, who could not get security clearance in Trump 1.0 when he was a special advisor. He is now running point on negotiations with Russia and regarding the Iranian war with Israel. He's also the person that got $2 billion from the Saudis after Trump's first term. So what is he doing in this role? He was not elected. He was not confirmed by the Senate. He has not disclosed his financial information publicly. So what is he doing? What's his end game?

Times reports that Jared Kushner, one of the US Government's chief negotiators in the Middle east, is trying to raise more money for his private equity firm from governments and in the region. According to the Times, Kushner, quote, has spoken with potential investors in recent weeks about raising $5 billion or more for Affinity Partners, his investment firm. That is, according to five people with knowledge of the talks who are not permitted to speak publicly about the discussions. That news comes just days before a legally mandated deadline by which Kushner must file financial disclosure forms connected to his role. Special Envoy for Peace. There's no public evidence yet Kushner has filed these forms.

B
He's a chip off the old block. I mean, he is every bit as corrupt and self serving as Donald Trump.
- [02:01]
D
Yeah. And he's every bit as corrupt and self serving as his own father is. And these in a, in a real world, in a real country, in a serious country, these are crimes. This teeters on some sort of, I would think, being a traitor or espionage. This is the end of American hegemony. It just is. You do not have the type of power that we had. And you have economic reign, military, superpower. All of this stuff has been exposed. The economy yo yoing from deregulation back to regulation and trying to make it safer, but always deferring to wealthy people in this lie that wealth will trickle down. The Trump regime has just completely exposed the greed that the Republican Party has always packaged either for the 01% that get it or some aspirational thing where they get working class people to vote for it. But Jared Kushner, in my opinion, he's criminal. These are criminal acts. The Trump regime is a crime syndicate. With the Republicans that care so much about transparency in America. First, it's, it's Steve Woodcock. First it's Donald Trump. First it's Jared Kushner. First, it's dumb and dumber. The Sun's first. Tiffany married a billionaire so she doesn't have to cash in. But I'm sure if you dug into it, I think there is some with Tiffany's father in law and Trump. So everybody in this orbit is just enriching themselves. But do we care? Have we ever in Congress or Senate said, hey, you guys can't. Insider trade? No, no, we've never done that. So none of this stuff came out of the clear blue sky. We have incubated it election cycle after election cycle after election cycle, and now it's on steroids.

B
And we know Kushner, Trump has said he, you know, he brought me into the war. It was all Jared. I mean, it's just crazy. But here's the thing. Why are we in this war? When will we get out of this war? How will we get out of this war? These are questions they're even asking on Fox News.

E
That's exactly right. And this is the concern that I'm hearing from allies of the White House. There are a few things that they want to see the president do. Number one, define clearly an end game, what victory looks like. Number two, finish it off quickly. And number three, they do not want to see him put boots on the ground. And increasingly, as this goes on, there's a lot of concern that all three of those things that I just mentioned aren't going to go the way that they want them to. And we have heard the president in dozens of calls with reporters, give different timelines, give different assessments of what he wants to see. There is this regime change. What does the final Iran look like under his administration?
- [05:03]
B
Here's the thing. It's hard to know what the goals are and if you've achieved them when there were never any. I mean, I've never heard a consistent message other than Netanyahu wanted it. We did it on why we're there and what we plan to do. And you have Trump cabinet members going on Fox News or Fox Business and telling people, you know, yeah, it might be hard for the economy and it'll hurt the consumer, but, oh, well, we can't worry about that right now. So in my mind, this is a never ender. Like it is going to continue on and on because number one, we don't know why we're there. We don't know what victory looks like. And I think that we're looking at like another prolonged like Afghanistan, Vietnam. And I just don't think the American people are up for that.
- [05:53]
D
Well, I mean there's no question we know the American people aren't up for that because we've seen the polling. But we do know that the most co opted group in the United States of America, the MAGA base, you know, 90 days ago, 20% against invading Iran, Trump invades Iran. Now they're 90% for invading Iran because these people believe in nothing. But as it pertains to what is this war about, specifically Lincoln linking Jared Kushner. We know that Jared Kushner wants to raise Gaza and develop it because it's prime real estate, because it's on the ocean. And he and Witkoff see billions of dollars of potential real estate investment there. What does Bibi want that. Well, of course he probably wants a little bit of money, but Bibi's rich. I don't think he cares as much about that as he does creating an Israeli hegemony. And the point of Iran is to balkanize it. He wants the region Balkanized so he can start getting pieces of it off. There's all of these things coming into focus. And we have rapture prepper and Christian Zionist Mike Huckabee that says the Bible says Israel is entitled to all of, entitled to all of this land. And then you see IDF soldiers with a patch that shows the expanded boundaries of Israel. So for Jared, he has that. He's a Zionist, he wants those things too. But he also loves grifting and making a shit ton of money every which way he can. We know Steve Witkoff does. We know Donald Trump wants that as well, because Donald Trump is rich. But he's not as rich as Vladimir Putin. He's not as rich as Elon Musk. So he has those ambitions. So you have the worst people with the worst intentions that are looking to create an Israeli hegemony in the region, who are looking to Balkanize Iran. A 5000 year old culture and the regime in Iran is brutal. It is absolutely brutal. But what a fool's errand to think that Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, who committed a genocide in Gaza, who are currently doing similar destroying Beirut, utterly destroying it. In the west bank we saw family executed by Idea of soldiers. There will be no investigation, there will be no criminal charges into that. And so we know what they're all up to here. Money, power expansionist map, Israeli hegemony.

B
Well, that's a perfect segue. I saw this Amnesty International and of course, you know, it's a no Sherlock, but at least it's public in terms of investigation. The icc, hopefully there will be some investigation, but Amnesty International is now saying our in depth investigation finds that the US has violated international humanitarian law by failing to take all feasible precautions to avoid civilian harm. U.S. is responsible for the deadly attack on the school in Minab packed full of children. US authorities must ensure that their investigation is transparent through and the results are made public. Number one, Pete Hexeth shut down the department in the Pentagon in the Department of. Of Defense that protects civilians and investigates civilian death. He said, no, we, we want no part of it. This administration does not give a that they killed these children, period. They do not care. There will be no investigation by the United States. I think it has to come from international forces.

D
There's no question about it. But I mean, do we think the Republicans and Democrats that vote bipartisan to give Bibi blank checks to continue funding a genocide? I have no expectation that they're going to follow any form of codes of conduct in combat with Iran. I'm sorry, I just look again, look at the history. Look at all the incubation of American foreign policy. Abu Ghraib black sites, a million Iraqis. No accountability of the Bush administration. No accountability for lying about that. We just move forward, which trot right on forward. Joe Biden blank check to bb. What are they doing? Bombing hospitals, bombing schools, executing children. So of course nobody gives a shit about the little girls, sadly. And of course this is going to continue. Of course. Pete Hegseth is a dipshit. And the problem with this is, is now they're saying AI picked the target. And I think that there's some reporting coming out this morning that they bombed another school and AI picked that target. And I have not confirmed that yet. I was just reading the news before we hopped on here and you know, there's going to be a real reckoning with AI which completely funds the President. They want it unregulated. AI is embedding itself into the government, both, you know, foreign and domestic, Pentagon, et cetera. And these war crimes are going to continue to pile up. But the, the thing is, listener, those of us, I think 70% of the United States population, we need to be loud and horrified and show the world that we, number one, oppose this war. Number two, we oppose the arbitrary killing of 160 little girls, the carpet bombing of Iran, the destruction of Beirut, the genocide in Palestine. We get to oppose those things. And the ADL and everybody else doesn't get to tell us that we get to care about human rights because we get to. And they don't get to take that away from us. We get to be outraged that our money, our taxpayer money, funded by a bunch of lying politicians, liars on both sides that cannot blank check it enough to. Israel constantly is now committing war crimes. And we get to be pissed about it. And we get to state the fact about it. And we get to state, what are the American people getting out of this? What do the people in the suburbs of Middle America and rural America, what the do they get out of? Jared Kushner making $6 billion. Witkoff making billions of dollars. What is the moral consequence of displacing and genociding people for real estate development? Seriously, if that's what you want, if that's what your country is, I'm out. It's disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
