Wants to kill Trump. I mean, I think this is kind of what happens when you go to war. They want to kill them, but Israel is the one who is warning Trump about this. And I just don't trust Benjamin Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gavir at all. I think these people are bad actors. But I also think at the same time, if Iran had the chance to assassinate the United States president, they probably would. But I don't think they're ever going to have that chance. Which is probably why Secret Service was like, you got to get off this plane. Like, you can't be flying around in some plane that was gifted to you by a country that colludes with Israel all the time. So anyway, the Wall Street Journal is reporting about Israel's latest warning to Trump. Israel recently shared intelligence with the United States indicating that Iran was considering a new plot to assassinate Donald Trump. The Wall Street Journal report citing people familiar with the matter. Here's the thing about this kind of stuff. There's a lot of bluster. Like for my whole life, I think Iran has chanted death to America and talk is cheap. But the whole purpose of this, of Israel and putting this out there, I think is to draw us further into the war. That's my opinion about why they're making this an issue. I think probably Iran has wanted to assassinate Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, etc. I think they probably always had that desire.

No, I completely agree. And it just, it tells me, number one, the war in Iran is so unpopular with Americans, Netanyahu knows that. So he has to keep Trump on the hook. And it then it sends me to wouldn't it be nice if we had experts and career officers in the DNI in the CIA and these investigative military intelligence, if they could give assurances because of their competence, connections and long standing career in collecting intelligence. But I don't feel like even if you know this Bill Pulte, even if he came out and said that, that I would be 100% trustworthy of the intelligence that they are receiving. Because Trump's administration lies. Netanyahu's administration lies. Although I agree with you, I'm sure they do want to kill him. He just shot their president or Khomeini or whatever.

Right, right. But I also have to say this because we always have to keep going to this. As a normal people that have been raised in America, all of this time, we think, oh, we have paid taxes and we have built this country up 250 years. And there are experts around here that are going to sift through this intelligence and advise the President. He receives those briefings and wholly rejects them. This is a man who has assembled a submissive cabinet who. He wants a doctor that doesn't say, hey, your cankles are a huge problem. He wants a doctor that says, you, sir, are the healthiest president I've ever seen. So he wants an audience that curates what he wants to hear. So even if we still have those people in place, it's a moot point because the administration is not interested in transparency. They are transparent about the crimes they commit. I mean, in all of the grifting, I mean, Trump in his deathbed confession era is like, oh, yeah, my kids have all this insider information. They're killing it in the stock market. But when it comes to national security, we know from Trump 1.0, all of the people around him and these guys were neocons, total conservatives would tell him things about the military and they said he was bored. He was more interested in tweeting. Fox, of course, I believe has done more damage to this country and incubated this MAGA movement than probably anything else. And here is Fox News is Brian Kilmeade. In a shocking turn of events, he's turning against Kushner and Witkoff as the Iranian negotiators play the clip.

I also don't think that Witkoff and Kushner should be the ones doing this. They're business guys. They have not been effective in Ukraine, not been effective in Gaza. They have not been effective in this. They can't have three portfolios to begin with. We have a State Department for a reason. Marco Rubio, even Democrats admit, has been looked at as a genius internationally. He is the guy that most people would want, even if you were, if you gave truths to Democrats, he should take the lead on this.

Okay, here's what I think is happening. You have to remember that Rupert Murdoch is a member of the elite ruling class. And they all see curtains with Trump. He is a dementia duck. And they see that J.D. vance is wanting to be the heir apparent. And he keeps face planning. He's an embarrassment. Everybody hates him. Everybody hates J.D. vance. So now they're shifting all chips in on Rubio. The Wall Street Journal has been pretty critical of Trump and a lot of the leaks that we're getting now. I think the Wall Street Journal for the most part, is trash and garbage. But there is some reporting in there, some real journalism. I think that now the hit has been given to Fox to start shifting away from Trump and to start propping up Marco Rubio. I think that was intention propaganda, while at the same time, I agree with Kilmeade that a broken clock is right twice a day. Kushner and Witkoffer, morons, they have no business being the diplomats for the United States of America. But I think the ruling class parts of them, not the. Not the tech oligarchs like Peter Thiel, but I think a lot of them are now shifting gears to try to prop up little Marco, which means listener and viewer, we got to beat this MFER down because he is worthless. Anybody who goes along with any aspect of Trump's ridiculous dismantling of democracy is unqualified to be Secretary of State, president, dog catcher, what have you. What's your take on that? Pumps?

I agree with you. I don't think J.D. vance has done himself any favors getting on Fox News and saying, well, I don't have much experience. Witkoff and Kushner, they're the ones that have the experience. And it's like, shut the up. But as to the Marco Rubio of doll, this is the man that is the Secretary of State. Allegedly. I mean, that's his position. He. I mean, but I'm saying, like, he's in name only because you hear all these leaks from the White House in. In all of these discussions, you hear J.D. vance objected. You never hear that Marco Rubio has stood up. If he is such a foreign policy genius, why hasn't he been out front making, you know, waves about this, saying, you know, this is what we need to do this. But he doesn't. He goes and he mimics everything the President says. So I just think Marco Rubio is a puppet. You know, J.D. vance is headed to Switzerland to negotiate and Lil Marco is at a WWE event with Trump. I mean, he has completely debased himself to the point that even if he had a good idea, I think he's so insecure he wouldn't even express it because why hasn't. If he is so smart, where has he been the last six months?

And don't forget this, there are breadcrumbs here where Trump and some of his most subservient, submissive sycophants are publicly humiliating Marco. They put him in these shoes that are too big for him and take pictures of him. They put him in that jumpsuit that looked like the one Maduro was wearing and they propped him up on Air Force One. This is the Secretary of State, right? And they put him in a jumpsuit, a Nike sweatsuit, and he looks like a dipshit, bigger dipshit than he normally is. Take a picture of him and post him. And here's the thing. I know about that old queen Trump. If he hears on Fox News that they are saying Marco's so smart and Marco's such a genius, Trump will get jealous because he'll go, I'm the genius. And he will in turn start rap fucking Marco. I mean, he's already done it to J.D. vance. I mean, that. That goose is cooked. And here's something I just. This is petty, but it's something I particularly like about what's happened with J.D. vance. We've seen all of these invitations for these dinners for JD Vance that have gone out to these rich country club, crusty white people. One in Oklahoma City. There's been, you know, in Aspen and all these other places, and they're 250 and $350,000. I am so glad that those people wrote those checks. And that's going to be on the record that they spent that kind of money to have dinner with J.D. vance. Because that is the most pathetic thing on the planet. I think if somebody gave me $350,000 to have dinner with JD Vance, I'd be like, I'm sorry, yeah, I'm not going to do it. But they are paying to do it. All right then, okay, what are we going to do? What about all of this stuff? We have the midterms and that's where all of us in America have just this glimmer of hope. And we have to have that. We have to have some sort of hope. And typically throughout my whole life, and I'm sure you have the same experience when there's a president, when it was George W. Bush and when it was Obama. If you're a Tea party or you think, okay, the midterms we're going to put in checks, they're going to not be able to pass this legislation. Both sides experience this transfer of power. Trump is trying to remove that completely and now pop this up. Breaking the Trump White House just ousted all three sitting members of the U S. Election Assistance Commission, hamstringing the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms. The EAC helps state and local officials run elections, including by certifying election equipment. The White House explicitly cited the Supreme Court's ruling in Trump vs. Slaughter, which expanded the president's power to remove officials at independent agencies. So this cheating that he wants to do what he has done his whole life with the Republican Party propagandizes. The immigrants are voting, the immigrants are taking all your. It's all lies. They can't win on their own merit and so they have to cheat. They know the polling. Deep down he knows. I mean I know that Natalie Harp will tell him from time to time, oh, you've got, you know, 99 approval rating. Well, that's with the biggest cult members on the planet. But he is going to do everything in his power to take our country away from us. And the unique thing is the United States is ruled by the people. The Senate is ours, the presidency is ours, Congress is ours, the Supreme Court is supposed be ours. And this power grab by minority rule is going to accelerate at such a exponential rate, it's terrifying. All right, everybody knows I recently moved to New York City and finding a new slate of doctors when I was doing it on my own was horrible. It was so difficult. I thought how am I going to find somebody? I called one doctor, a dermatologist. They had a one year waiting list. It was completely insane. So I signed up for ZocDoc and I logged on, put in my insurance. Within literally two to three seconds a list of dermatologists that could see me that same day popped up. I booked the appointment, no charge to me. Zocdoc lets you search and compare local in network doctors Listener.

Well, when you look at, I mean, so he's going to send ICE to voting places in, you know, wall contested states. He is trying to get the US Postal Service not to bring in ballots. He is trying, you know, he's gone into Georgia and taken the ballot. So when I see Trump and he's so incompetent, but somebody in his administration is diabolical and very competent because there are, this is a multi, multi layer, multifaceted. If the gerrymandering doesn't work, we're going to take the ballots. If that doesn't work, we're going to surround ice. There is no stone they will leave unturned to undermine this election because they know, I mean, all you hear about is the blue tsunami that's coming. And honestly, every time we hear about another level of free and fair elections being taken from the people, it concerns me just a little bit more. And I was already concerned.

Yeah. And you have to remember this is like political Darwinism. And when it comes to the survival of maga, particularly the ruling class of MAGA right now, it is my opinion that they have committed crimes. It is my opinion that the Supreme Court is so corrupt and they have privately and unethically enriched themselves that they could actually be impeached. And all of these people that have set up this corrupt system, their Darwinism, survival of the fittest is going to kick again. As much as they lecture us about the rule of law and honesty and transparency, they don't play by those rules. They show up to this fight with machine guns, gangster. It's trench warfare. And they're ready to do whatever they can to protect their ass and take over any form of the people ruling the Supreme Court and the corruption to give corporations so much power, to give this president so much power is so troubling. But I just have this little bit of hope. If we look to Hungary, the voter turnout was so massive that despite Victor Orban's doing all of these things that Trump is doing here, the vote, the turnout was so big that they were able to get their country back. Well, the same Supreme Court that gave Trump all this power, eventually this power could be to a Democratic president, which is why we have to keep hitting on both sides. The Democrats have to start showing up with the right weapons to take this out once and for all. And to all the psychos that FOX News producers, when I say weapons, I'm talking about that metaphorically, you dipshits. But if you want to cut that up, because I'm not, I don't want violence. I don't want literal violence. But the Democrats have got to, once we get in power, it has to be full tilt, accelerator smashed to the floorboard. And anybody who there's going to be a lot of corporate Democrats that win and retain their seats. The pressure from the people to encourage them to abandon their loyalties to these corporations that are funding fascism and return to an FDR style governance that delivers materially for the people is going to be incredibly paramount because the only people that are going to save us is us. And so all of this is so alarming. And I think he's going to escalate his war. And we know this from the breadcrumbs of him talking about how Netanyahu or Zielinski have been able to dodge elections by staying in a war. He's going to do the same because none of this means anything to him. So, all right, all of this is super uplifting heading into the weekend. Make sure you like and subscribe. Pre order my book.
