The MAGA podcasters and influencers are fighting like there's massive fighting with Megyn Kelly's Colin, Mark Levin micropenis Mark, which I kind of support, and Tucker Carlson. As everybody knows, I think this guy is going to run for president. I think that he has seen the power of this America first agenda that Trump ran on of putting patriotism above everything and how much it resonates with middle America. And combining that with a pro corporate friendly mantra plus a mix in of Christian nationalism and he's coming out very, very anti war. And he has been breaking with Trump a lot, although privately we see him at the White House on this Venezuela stuff, clapping like a seal and all of this stuff. A lot of it's performative. But I think the MAGA world that has installed an heir apparent named J.D. vance is taking note to Tucker's messaging success. And this is fascinating. Tucker puts out this video. Play the clip.

So the other day I found out that the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me, a crime report to the Department of Justice on the basis of a supposed crime I committed. What's that crime? Well, talking to people in Iran before the war, they read my texts. So the crime under consideration apparently would be the Foreign Agent act or something like that, acting as an agent of a foreign power. And I don't expect this to go anywhere. I'm not too worried about an actual criminal case against me for a bunch of reasons. One, I'm not an agent of a foreign power, unlike a lot of people

commenting on okay, so obviously Tucker's a journalist and we can all, you know, whatever we think. I mean, I think Tucker is intelligent. I think he knows how to package up a post Trump world that he and Marjorie Taylor Greene are already messaging. It's not about the man, it's about the movement. That's the messaging starting. I mean, look at, look at Kanks, you guys. Brain completely cooked. Doesn't know where he is half the time. Won't listen to his own Pentagon. He's gotten us in this war. He's enriching himself physically. He looks horrible. The bruises, all of the stuff that you've seen. And Tucker is somebody who could really consolidate his base. He has a lot of the components that could pick up this cult and move forward and keep this fascist machine going. So it's interesting that the CIA has been hacking into his phone and now is threatening some sort of criminal charge. And I just think, number one, it makes me think about the installation of J.D. vance by the tech oligarchs. Because Tucker would 100% win in a general election over J.D. vance. There's no question about it. But Tucker is a really dangerous person. I mean, Tucker Carlson said that he was asleep in his bed with his like three gigantic dogs, but he was awoken to demons scratching him and attacking him. Everybody knows that's a lie. That and it was the dogs. But here's the thing. I believe in free press, we cannot have the CIA hacking into journalist phones. Whether we like the journalist or don't like the journalist, we can't have it. And so here's my fundamental problem with Tucker. So if this is the way the right is dealing with him, they're going to use the Justice Department and the CIA to try to take him down. How is the left dealing with Tucker Carlson? Because Tucker is a real threat that nobody is really taking seriously. And in the void of a really strong, unified Democratic party that is 100% anti war, that is 100% anti APAC donations, that is 100%. We will no longer give Benjamin Netanyahu, a maniacal war killer, a blank check because there's no solid opposition on the Democratic side. They're opening the floodgates to everybody consolidating around Tucker. And it's so fucking dangerous. Put this up, Kylie. Lexi Alexander tweets. I never thought I would say this, but I'm glad Tucker Carlson and all these right wing voices exist because there is no liberal, centrist, progressive, Democrat, et cetera, pundit doing this. And I would go absolutely crazy if nobody talked about how Trump promised the polar opposite of this. This Johnny Gr responds to her. It is really sad we have to rely on Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson because literally every liberal, liberal, mainstream media pundit is too much of a chicken to tell the truth. So, you guys, the soil is primed for Tucker right here. Because people, because he's actually. Whether he believes it or not, it doesn't matter. We know Trump didn't believe any of this shit that he said and he was a compulsive liar. Tucker is saying all of the things that got Trump elected America first. Anti war, anti putting Israel first. He's speaking out against war crimes in Palestine with moral clarity. But because so many of the Democrats take so much APAC money, we don't have an opposition party. And all of this is primed for Tucker just to come in and take all of it. And the people who are taking it seriously is clearly the Trump regime and the CIA through illegal, horrific, fascistic means. But the Democrats sure aren't taking it seriously. And let's just remind everyone this just gets lost in the news cycle. Lady Graham was a basic spy before the Iran war. Pop this up. Just last week we learned that Senator Lindsey Graham leaked US Intelligence information to Benjamin Netanyahu to help push President Trump into war with Iran. Why isn't Lindsey Graham being investigated for tree treason? 13 US service members are dead because of this war. And so of course nobody's going to do this because Lindsey Graham is BFFs with Mossad and Benjamin Netanyahu. But why are they going after Trucker so much? Why? Because he has a real likelihood of consolidating the cult. And Peter Thiel has been playing literal 4d 5d chess for a very long time with his company Palantir. With the purchase of the world's biggest political prostitute, J.D. vance. He purchased J.D. vance and installed him in the middle of the MAGA movement. Why? Because Peter Thiel is too big of a chicken shit to run for president himself. He's not likable, and he continues to go around the world with this bizarre Antichrist series. Pop this up. US Tech billionaire Peter Thiel is holding secret lectures in Rome about the Antichrist and technology intention with Pope Leo, who warns about about AI risks. Teal says AI regulation could enable a global authoritarian system that halts scientific process, while the Pope argues regulation is needed to manage AI's dangers. So this is fascinating. I mean, what Peter Thiel is doing here is every admission is a confession. He wants an AI like revolution that installs a Monarchy, if you will, where the monarchy is ruled by, like, a techno leader such as himself. And anytime you see billionaires screaming against regulation, you know that we need that regulation. Let's think historically, who has screamed against regulation? The cigarette companies, the tobacco companies. They did not want any regulation. Well, guess what? Millions of people died. All sorts of diseases. They were wrong. Let's look at the opioid crisis. The Sacklers spent hundreds of millions of dollars against regulation. What do we have because we didn't regulate the opioid crisis? We have a fentanyl problem. We have hundreds of thousands of Americans dead because of this. And so anytime you see really rich people screaming against regulations, it is a red flag, because they're not actually regulations. If the Democrats are smart, then start calling them consumer protections. We need protections against AI and we definitely need protections against Peter Thiel. And this is really alarming, what I'm about to put up. Pop this up. So, as you know, Peter Thiel owns Palantir. And Palantir is so deeply embedd in the American government. This has been an open secret in tech for years. And if you've been following my threads, you already know where I stand on this. This is by better call Medi. He says, I genuinely believe Palantir was never just a government contractor. It was always designed from day one to embed itself so deep inside the intelligence and defense apparatus that ripping it out would be like trying to remove the nervous system from a living body. You need to understand how this works on a technical to really grasp the scale of what I'm describing. Gotham and Foundry are data integration platforms that plug into every single information source an organization has. Internal databases, intelligence feeds, comm, satellite data, financial transactions, social media. Everything gets funneled into a single ontological knowledge graph. And here's the key. Once you've connected five years of an intelligence agency's data or defense ministries operations into Palantir's architect, you've created a technological dependency that is so virtually impossible to reverse. Because migrating that graph to another system would mean rebuilding the entire institutional memory of the organization from scratch. So this is really damning because the swamp that Donald Trump spoke about, that being people that are neutral, that are unbiased federal workers, that don't take sides in. In politics, because he wants people that are loyalists. The swamp is now in the systems. It's not a human being. It's technology that is so deeply embedded into the way government functions that Peter Till, who owns all of this as a side hustle, is parading around the world giving lectures on the Antichrist. It's. It's so insane. And Peter Thiel is all over the Epstein files. And Peter Thiel clearly wants to do everything in his power to dismantle American hegemony, and he wants a technological hegemony. One of the best ways that these tech oligarchs can dismantle American hegemony is to get it mired down in all of these wars. Well, who would be a great partner in that? A warmonger, maniacal nut job named Benjamin Netanyahu, who is like, to me, like the number one terrorist in the world. Like, all he wants to do is just start wars, kill kids, kill people, bomb hospitals. I mean, this guy is out of control. And the fact that the United States of America gives this guy a blank check to do all of this is just jarring. So over the weekend, all these rumors that Benjamin Netanyahu is dead because there was this AI video where it looked like he had six fingers, blah, blah. So then Benjamin Netanyahu does a proof of life video in a coffee shop. Play the clip. All right, so here he is in a coffee shop and addressing it and like trolling the people who said he was dead. The problem with this video is now everybody's saying it is AI. And so whether Benjamin Netanyahu's alive or dead, to me, whatever, because there's going to be people that are further to the right and every bit as maniacal and dangerous and homicidal as he is. The larger point is we live in a society now where nothing is provable. Like, okay, the first video with him, everybody's like, AI he had six fingers, his teeth are disappearing. The second video, everybody's claiming it's AI. So when you don't have a way to prove something to be real, think about what that does in this kind of post fact world that we're living in, that anybody can put out any video and just claim it's AI that that goes back to Peter Thiel so desperately, desperately not wanting any regulations put on AI. Wouldn't it be nice if there were regulations on AI that there were software, when something came through like this video, that this is AI or this is 100% real and it wasn't a for profit company that vetted that, that it was something that put public safety first and profits weren't anywhere in on that. You know, Benjamin Netanyahu wants to get American taxpayer money, as much of it as he possibly can, so that he can kill people in Lebanon, so that he can kill people in the west bank so that he can kill people in Gaza and he will not stop there. This man will never be satiated. He has worked the United States government so well that he has Mike Huckabee over there as ambassador who basically said on in an interview two weeks ago that biblically Israel could have all of it, all the land, all of it could be Greater Israel because the Bible said so. All right, finding a doctor is really really difficult.

It's we are being governed by either complete rapture prepper Iron Age thinkers or in the case of Benjamin Netanyahu, homicidal takers. He wants to take our work, the country that we've built and the leverage and the taxpayer money so that he can build his own empire. And because AIPAC has been so successful at compromising American politicians, we don't really have an opposition party to this. And think about it like this. I'm going to put up one story here and these stories are abundant weekly. Pop this up. Reuters reports Israeli forces kill Palestinian parents, two children in west bank medics say Rana Ayub responds to that and says Israeli forces shot an entire family in the head. Ali Khalid, 37, and his 35 year old wife Wad. Their children Mohammed and Othman, Agent 5 and 7 respectively, were each shot in the head in the village of Tamun while two of their other children sustained injuries. This seems to be a feature of IDF operations and not a bug. And now the Americans have adopted this. We're bombing Iranian schools full of little girls. And the dehumanization that the government of Israel engages in and the propaganda that they use to sell it. Oh, well, you know, they were embedded in. The terrorists were embedded in the hospital, so we had to bomb the whole hospital. No, no, you really don't. No, you really don't have to bomb the whole hospital. They were embedded in schools. So we have to kill everybody there. No, you really don't. That's propaganda and it is morally corrosive thinking. And who even knows if that's true? How can we believe. How does anybody have any, any moral say so over people that will kill kids and shoot little kids, execute them? And the constant desire to expand, expand, expand and take, take, take that. The Israeli government has. The American public has opened their eyes up to it. Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are going to be in for a rude awakening at how much the base has moved on this issue. You know, you might be okay with Benjamin Netanyahu killing people like that, but the majority of Americans are not. We don't take money from aipac, Hakeem and Chuck. We don't actually. We don't hardly ever get anything from our government anyway, so we're not okay with it. And so this is a real moment right now where we are up against so many different forces, the technocrats. Peter Thiel, who has embedded his AI machine into the federal government, Benjamin Netanyahu, whether he's alive or dead or whatever, does it even fucking matter? Because nobody can even tell anything is real or false. Now, because of AI that so desperately needs to be regulated. And meanwhile, we're told by certain groups that we have to pick which deaths we can care about and which deaths we can be dismissive about. And maybe some people like at the adl, Jonathan Greenblatt is fine doing that. Maybe it's okay for him that he can quantify and value people's lives. But I'm here to tell my community and our listeners here that you get to care about every life. You get to care about that family that the IDF executed in the West Bank. You get to care about the Iranian girls that a Tomahawk missile took out. You get to care about the horror that people experience in Michigan when somebody tried to drive into a temple and blow it up. And we just cannot conflate the government of Israel with Jewish people. It just, it, it has to stop. Because everybody deserves to be safe and Jewish Americans are entitled to be separated from the homicidal regime of Benjamin Netanyahu. The efforts to link these two and to tell Americans that we can't criticize the IDF and a country that has dropped rape charges, it's just insane. It's all of these dark forces have united together, but we have to maintain some sense of unity to find light. And do not allow these emotional blackmailers and dictators to tell us what we can and cannot care about. Because we can care about universal human rights and we can care about the safety of everybody. All right, that's all I have. Like subscribe Comment I'll be back later with more news.
