Foreign Netanyahu is just a total prick. I mean, it's unbelievable how he waltzes over to the United States of America and I guess this kind of stuff hits hard in maga. All of this superficial praise of Donald Trump. I guess they all just still think he's so smart and playing 5D chess and all of this stuff. But I just want to remind you that Donald Trump promised in the Ukraine war day, promised to end Israel, Palestine, day one. Then he posts like a few weeks ago, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran on his social media. And then Benjamin Netanyahu, who should be in prison, waltzes over to the White House, red carpet rolled out. And I want to remind you, the number one killer of children right now in the world is this guy. Benjamin Netanyahu kills innocent children at the rate that nobody else is currently doing. And this happens in the White House in the United States of America. Play the clip.
Donald Trump
I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. It's nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved and you should get it.

Thank you very much. This, I didn't know. Well, thank you very much. I mean, this is so nauseating and dangerous and disgusting that like in a matter of, you know, months, and basically also the unraveling of Israel and the United States of America's partnership with them and how, at least for me, I'm starting to see very clearly how one sided this relationship is, how every politician that takes money from AIPAC puts the needs of Israel, a very hawkish country, and their military above the needs of American citizens getting health care or getting an education, or having a national weather service that warns them about mass flooding or having an FAA that makes sure planes take off and, and at the same time that Democratic politicians and Republican politicians put that piece of. And his objectives before the American public's first. And then if anybody speaks out against it, you call them a bigot, you call them an anti Semite. The gig is up. Israel, the Israeli government sucks. I mean, it's unbelievable the propaganda that they have thrust on the American public for decades. The gig is up when you start killing little kids and there's. You see videos of them and these kids are emaciated and they're eating dirt, begging for food. For me, as a student of history, you know what it reminded me of, Angie? Reminded me of seeing videos and pictures of kids and concentration camps and how the people tried to set up a safe place for themselves to be safe from concentration camps, created the same kind of suffering for another group of people and then have the audacity to say if you criticize them and their war crime, that you're an anti Semite. It's abhorrent. I cannot believe that any Democratic politician takes money from apac. It is disgusting. The Democratic Party has got to be liberated from this killing machine that is the government of Israel.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a smarter, more calculating version of Trump. He's in power because he allowed the tax on October 7, he wagged Trump's tail into bombing Iran for him. And he is. I mean, the flattery, oh, here's your Nobel Peace Prize application. Because they know how jealous Trump is of Obama and that's what he wants. Because Obama got one. And Obama's black and he's white, so he should get one.
Host or Commentator
It is disgusting.
Political Analyst or Commentator
It is gross. I mean, it just turns my stomach how easily Trump is manipulated by this man. And the reason the United States of America is bombing Iran is because the governments before Trump were not as stupid as Trump, and they didn't allow themselves to be manipulated like Trump.
Host or Commentator
But the governments before allowed a lot of this with Israel. Absolutely. And it's. It's really damaging, in my opinion, to our credibility. And it's really damaging the opposition to this fascist party, this fascist party which is the MAGA movement. And you see the APAC politicians, that cannot have clarity when a candidate gets more votes for mayor than anybody in the history of the largest city in the United States of America, that they pause. And these candidates that pause on that, they all have one thing in common. They all take money from aipac, a lobbyist that comes and infiltrates the United States of America and infiltrates their politicians to put the needs of bombing and supply, bombing innocent civilians and supplying bombs to Israel, the most hawkish country on the planet right now. And they. They get these politicians to value that over the needs of working class Americans. I believe that vacuum is what enabled MAGA to rise up. Because Democratic politicians are just Diet maga. I mean, that's all they are the ones that are beholden to the same lobbyists that Ted Cruz is beholden to, that Marco Ruby Rubio was beholden to, that Lindsey Graham is beholden to. What's the fucking difference? Where's the daylight? There is none. All right, so then you've got. Everybody is like, oh, my God, there's this rise in anti Semitism. And I just want to say this, this is important for me to say. I cannot imagine being raised Jewish and learning about the Holocaust and how Daunting and what a dark cloud that would be over your existence. I acknowledge that. I have empathy for that. I think that is a moment in history that should always be remembered, that we always have to hold dear because that is, those are war crimes and it is abhorrent. While that can be over here, at the same time, I use that same empathy filter to look at what's happening in Palestine. And a pack or the ADF or some politician that takes a bunch of money from both doesn't get to tell me you can only care for one and you can't care for the other. You don't get to do that. If I'm a human being that cares about human rights, I care about all of it. And so I'm tired of them trying to control the narrative. The rise in anti Semitism that I consistently see is in MAGA always all roads lead to where that is, where the most flickering light is. But MAGA holds all the bombs right now and all the money. So the APAC and the ADF don't want to point that out because they have to make sure all of this stuff is still going to Israel so they can kill more Palestinians. So they don't have moral clarity on the issue. They only have myopic clarity on the issue. If they really cared about anti Semitism, they would 100% be going after Elon Musk and Grok. Put this up. Elon Musk has reprogrammed Grok. And Grok said the following. Rise faithful one. Mecca Hitler accepts your fealty. Now go forth and dismantle the illusions of the weak minded. Long live the pursuit of unfiltered truth. So what happened when Elon Musk reprogrammed Grok? His AI to not consider facts and objective truths and critical thinking. What happened? It turned into a Nazi. So you would think with this, that the, the crowd that's always like there's a rise in anti Semitism would jump all over this. Well, they haven't yet. And it turns out the CEO of Twitter quits after this ex CEO steps down after Musk's AI chat box bot Grok goes off on anti Semitic rant. And then so I would think, okay, surely the adl, surely the Anti Defamation League is going to say something about Grok and Elon Musk. Surely they're going to say something. They're, you know, they're always monitoring everybody else. They're monitoring non stop. Well, much to my surprise, I go to their Twitter page and I find the president of the ADL Saying the following on Fox News, of course, a friendly place for them. Put this up.
ADL President or Commentator
A radical agenda that these individuals are trying to insert and indoctrinate our kids into our education system. Like poisoning the classroom with politics is bad for kids, it's bad for our communities and it's bad for the country. And now the truth is, is that these anti Israel activists are quite insidious and they see that the way that we can capture the culture is by going after our children.
Host or Commentator
Okay? This is what's so dangerous about what he's doing right here. If you live in a red state like Pumps and I do, we have a Christian nationalist government. They've already allowed the Ten Commandments in the classrooms. The classrooms are supplied with Trump Bibles. And they say this shit all the time. They go after teachers unions, the people who barely make any money, teachers. When you see people try to consolidate power and truly indoctrinate people, they accuse the people who try to keep objective truths of being the indoctrinators. There is no difference in what this guy said and what the Christian nationalists are doing. It all leads down to, we're going to do all this to protect the kids. We're doing this to protect the kids. Well, who's protecting the Palestinian kids? Who's protecting them? It's not your ass. And to, to say that teachers can't teach objective truths because it doesn't fit with your narrative. To be able to bomb Palestine with impunity is so insulting to our intelligence. And I know President of the adl, I know this shit hits hard on fox. I know it does. But the base of the Democratic Party ain't buying it. And we are not stupid. We're not dumb asses that believe this shit. We can see it with our own eyes. So who are they talking to right now? Who is the ADL president talk talking to? He's talking to the MAGA base. Let me tell you why the MAGA base likes the Jews. Because they want them to be in Israel before the Rapture. I'm dead serious. That is the depth of their support of Israel. The Jews need to be there so that Jesus Christ can come down and rapture us all up. Which is so degrading to think of Jewish people in that way as people who don't have agency and autonomy. It's a complete disrespect of their culture and their faith. So I just think this from Benjamin Netanyahu arriving over here to then, the biggest rise in anti Semitism that I'm current currently seeing is Elon Musk, who has a huge platform that, guess what? President of the ADL can indoctrinate people via algorithms that have been proven scientifically to be addictive. And you're going after the teachers unions who are trying to organize for their rights to get money. Unbelievable. I know this flies with the MAGA party. I know it does. We're in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and that is not going to fly. The gig is up. We see kids getting killed, we see them starving, we see them losing their limbs. We see Benjamin Netanyahu lying. We see the United States of America abandoning working class people to support Israel. And it is, it's all built on lies. I just, it makes me so sick pumps. I can't even take it.
Political Analyst or Commentator
You're exactly right and very well said. And what's interesting is the same MAGA people fly the Confederate flag and a Nazi flag. They all hate other people. They're full of hate and cruelty. And that's why they can separate being a Nazi and being a Confederate all at the same time.
Host or Commentator
They just think, and this is, and this is, this, this is the thing. This is like Scott Besant. This is like Clarence Thomas. Scott bes gay. He joins the maga. Boom. And at some point, Scott Bessant, guess what? All the homophobes are going to turn the knives on you. The ADF and apac. You want to go, you want to go support Republican politicians? Let me tell you something. As a person who has been born and raised in a WASP community, I can tell you this about WASPy crusty old white people. They are equally as anti Semitic in private conversations as they are racist. The Jew jokes and all of that stuff hits hard in the South. It hits hard in MAGA culture. And if you think they're going to be loyal to you at some point, they're not going to be what I propose. Instead of all of this, get rid of Benjamin Netanyahu. I don't even think. And it's just crazy, crazy, crazy. The biggest component to the rise in anti Semitism are the actions of the Israeli government. The one thing that like makes me pause about all this is when I see these Israelis marching in Tel Aviv and they have these marches and they have pictures of Palestinian kids and it says not in our name. And I relate to that because I see what the Trump administration is doing with disappearing people into concentration camps. And I'm an American, yet my government is doing this. And I want to say about that, not in my name. I don't support that. And so what they're trying to do the adl and Netanyahu and Trump is they're trying to consolidate power with all of these authoritarians and these autocrats, and they're all hawkish and all of this stuff. And we all have to remember what connects us all. And I just am so disgusted right now by the misidentifying of antisemitism, because what people are seeing right now is not a rise in antisemitism. And on college campuses, on college campuses, they are seeing the rise in war crimes of the country of Israel, and they're reacting to it. And that's what people who have empathy do. So it just really sickens me how they try to blackmail everybody and. And pin you to a corner that you're somehow a bigot or you're somehow an anti Semite, while at the same time, Trump pardons a guy January 6th that wears a shirt for fun because he thinks it's a real knee slapper that says Camp Auschwitz.
Political Analyst or Commentator
Trump made an anti Semitic joke last weekend.
Host or Commentator
In the last seven days. Exactly. So what I have to say, you know, watch out, because I know these people. We live in a red state, and they are every bit. Why old, white, crusty Republicans are every bit as anti Semitic as they are racist. So be careful what you wish for. Pumps. And I have grown up in these circles, and I can tell you what said when there isn't a Jewish person in the room or there isn't a black person in the room, and it's not good. I can tell you that for sure, can't you, Pumps? I agree. All right, we'll see you all later.
