[00:00:00] [Music] [00:00:08] Okay. So, what spicy audio are we [00:00:11] starting with today? How about Attorney [00:00:13] General Pam Bondi from a few months ago? [00:00:16] OJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey [00:00:19] Epstein's clients. Will that really [00:00:21] happen? [00:00:22] It's sitting on my desk right now to [00:00:24] review. Um, that's been a directive um [00:00:26] by President Trump. I'm reviewing that. [00:00:28] I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files. [00:00:32] That's all in the process of being [00:00:33] reviewed because that was done at the [00:00:35] directive of the president from all of [00:00:36] these agencies. [00:00:37] So So have you seen anything that you [00:00:39] said, "Oh my gosh, [00:00:41] not yet." [00:00:43] Okay. Well, [00:00:45] okay. Yeah, you wouldn't though. You [00:00:48] wouldn't though. Okay. Hello and welcome [00:00:51] to State of Play on Mint Press News. I [00:00:53] am your host Greg Stoker and that was [00:00:55] attorney general attorney general Pam [00:00:58] Bondi five months ago saying they got [00:01:00] the Epstein files and she was reviewing [00:01:02] them. We're calling this episode the big [00:01:04] beautiful cover up Epstein ICE and the [00:01:07] MAGA war state. Sorry if I'm kind of [00:01:09] discombobulated right now is like [00:01:11] speaking of government uh agencies and [00:01:13] funding cuts. This is very thematic. I [00:01:16] was trying to reach my primary care [00:01:18] provider at the VA and start a uh and [00:01:21] schedule an appointment. Spent two and a [00:01:23] half hours on the phone just now. Uh [00:01:25] sorry, no, an hour and a half on the [00:01:27] phone. Transferred seven times. Uh [00:01:29] transferred from Temple VA to back to [00:01:32] the Temple VA when I was trying to get [00:01:33] to the Austin VA to schedule an [00:01:36] appointment. And then I was just like, [00:01:37] you know what? I have a theory. They're [00:01:40] just trying to get us all to kill [00:01:42] ourselves so they don't actually have to [00:01:44] fuh cut funding to veterans benefits if [00:01:47] there's no veterans left. Thanks, Texas [00:01:50] VA. Go f yourself. Anyways, [00:01:55] where were we as we're all filtering in [00:01:58] real quick? U Mint Press News is on [00:02:00] Patreon. [00:02:02] So like if you're picking up what we're [00:02:04] putting down and you're trying to like [00:02:05] support us or whatever, that's great. [00:02:07] You know what? We're just glad you're [00:02:09] here. So, if you want to like, share, [00:02:11] subscribe, engage with the stuff. It [00:02:14] pushes it further out into the [00:02:17] algorithm. So, yeah, we're going to be [00:02:19] talking about some stuff today on the [00:02:21] home front and we're going to be talking [00:02:23] about Gaza and the Iran situation. I [00:02:26] wanted to get into the BRICS summit [00:02:28] today, but uh there's just not enough [00:02:30] time and we don't have enough bandwidth [00:02:32] for that at the moment. So, yes, we are [00:02:35] talking about the Epstein list and we're [00:02:38] putting it to bed because it was a scop [00:02:41] and we're going to talk about that and [00:02:43] now they're going to have to move on to [00:02:45] something different probably Iran [00:02:47] sleeper cells and MS-13 and radical [00:02:50] leftist socialists that need to go into [00:02:52] the camps. So just so you know since we [00:02:56] started with uh attorney general Pam [00:02:58] Bondi, the judiciary act of 1789 created [00:03:03] the office of the attorney general which [00:03:05] evolved over the years into the head of [00:03:07] the department of justice and chief law [00:03:11] enforcement officer of the federal [00:03:13] government. So the department of justice [00:03:15] has just reviewed the matter and found [00:03:18] that nobody has done anything wrong. Of [00:03:21] course, you know, the Justice Department [00:03:23] contains most of the United States [00:03:24] Federal Law Enforcement agencies, [00:03:26] including the FBI, the US Marshall [00:03:29] Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, [00:03:30] and Firearms, and Explosives, and the [00:03:33] Drug Enforcement Administration. Oh, [00:03:35] yeah. And um something that's way way [00:03:38] outspent and way bigger than um this [00:03:43] government organization, the Federal [00:03:45] Bureau of Prisons is the private uh cor [00:03:49] incorporation of the prison system as [00:03:51] well. So yeah, even if cash Oh, and now [00:03:54] that we're everyone's still filtering in [00:03:56] and we're just talking about the Federal [00:03:57] Bureau of Prisons, [00:03:59] uh, in 2003 or 2005, excuse me, only [00:04:03] about 25% of ICE detainees [00:04:07] were in private prisons. In 2016 or [00:04:10] 2014, under the Obama administration, it [00:04:12] went up. In 2018, it was like 80% and [00:04:15] then in 2023 [00:04:17] under Biden it was 90% [00:04:21] of all ICE detainees [00:04:23] are in private prisons. And we're going [00:04:26] to talk about how, you know, over the [00:04:28] next 10 years that um because there's [00:04:30] less crime in America and less long-term [00:04:33] sentences [00:04:35] that a lot of these prison populations [00:04:37] would decrease by sometimes up to like [00:04:40] 50%. [00:04:41] And that's not good. Uh the prison [00:04:44] system is a for-profit industry, so we [00:04:47] need more bodies in prison. All right. [00:04:51] So, yeah. Uh anyways, more on that [00:04:54] later. Even if Cash Patel, the Trump [00:04:58] loyalist director of the FBI, wanted to [00:05:00] release whatever is in the Epstein [00:05:02] files, he'd have to endun former Qatar [00:05:05] lobbyist AG Pam Bondi to do so. Of [00:05:08] course, no one is going to break ranks [00:05:10] at this point. Then this all comes as [00:05:12] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin [00:05:14] Netanyahu conducts Gaza ceasefire talks [00:05:17] with President Trump as of the time of [00:05:19] this recording. Something his right-wing [00:05:21] ministers do not want. And putting that [00:05:24] aside for a moment, do you remember when [00:05:25] the DOJ released the first pages of the [00:05:28] Epcene files to a bunch of MAGA loyalist [00:05:31] Tik Tok influencers and Twitter [00:05:33] influencers? Uh in the in that absurd PR [00:05:37] photo op, there was like libs of Tik [00:05:39] Tok. uh one of the one of those people, [00:05:42] one of those guys, and he has like [00:05:44] millions of followers. But yeah, just a [00:05:46] just a news flash. Where where did this [00:05:48] propaganda go? [00:05:49] Department has yet to release the [00:05:51] documents to the general public, leaving [00:05:53] many to question what exactly was in the [00:05:55] binders. Among those seen holding the [00:05:57] binders were prominent right-wing [00:05:58] figures, including Rogan O'handley, Mike [00:06:01] Cernovich, Jack Posabic, and Ka Rik, [00:06:04] also known as libs of Tik Tok. What [00:06:06] you're going to see hopefully tomorrow [00:06:09] is um a a lot of flight logs, a lot of [00:06:12] names, a lot a lot of information, but [00:06:15] um it's it's pretty sick what that man [00:06:18] did. [00:06:19] The decision to grant certain [00:06:20] influencers access before the public has [00:06:22] sparked backlash across the political [00:06:24] spectrum. Republican representative Anna [00:06:26] Paulina Luna, a leading voice in pushing [00:06:28] for the release of the files, expressed [00:06:30] frustration over the process. The public [00:06:33] reaction to the influencers receiving [00:06:34] the files was also mixed on social [00:06:36] media. Both right and left-wing [00:06:38] activists were outraged by the selective [00:06:40] release. Epstein's crimes and [00:06:43] connections to high-profile pictures [00:06:45] have remained a topic of intense public [00:06:47] interest for years. His relationships [00:06:49] with royals, presidents, and [00:06:50] billionaires have fueled speculation [00:06:52] about the extent of his network and [00:06:54] potential cover-ups. Despite the DOJ's [00:06:56] promises of transparency, the handling [00:06:58] of these latest document releases has [00:07:00] fueled even more skepticism. [00:07:05] Well, what happened to that whole stunt? [00:07:09] I mean, [00:07:11] and look, an Axio article published [00:07:14] yesterday highlights the main points of [00:07:16] this ongoing contention. So, the [00:07:18] intrigue here and also to jog your [00:07:20] memory uh is when Elon Musk had a [00:07:23] falling out with Trump last month. Musk [00:07:25] accused the president of being quote in [00:07:27] the Epstein files. Right. And now that [00:07:30] we're talking about Trump, let's get [00:07:31] some Trump b-roll going just for visual [00:07:33] interest. Not that you guys want not [00:07:36] that that you guys want to look at him, [00:07:38] but um you know, we got to we got to [00:07:40] play something, right? So, Trump posted [00:07:44] Trump posted on social media a statement [00:07:47] from the former Epstein lawyer David [00:07:48] Showing saying that Trump wasn't [00:07:50] implicated in any crime. Shan had also [00:07:52] represented Trump in his first [00:07:54] impeachment trial. Musk later deleted [00:07:56] his accusation on other posts on X [00:07:59] saying he quote went too far. Maybe it [00:08:02] has something to do with his tanking [00:08:03] stock prices. But anyways, still the [00:08:05] questions about whether Trump name is in [00:08:08] the government's Epstein files has [00:08:10] persisted because they had been [00:08:11] acquaintances who attended the same [00:08:14] parties in the 1990s and there's footage [00:08:17] with them. There's pictures. uh in 2017 [00:08:20] uh in an interview with Michael Wolf, [00:08:22] Epstein even claimed that at one point [00:08:24] he was Trump's closest friend. Trump, [00:08:26] however, said in 2019 [00:08:29] that he was not a fan of Epstein and [00:08:31] hadn't spoken to him for 15 years. Of [00:08:34] course, we're still waiting on the fact [00:08:36] checks on that to come through. He also [00:08:37] said he had barred Epstein from his golf [00:08:39] resorts in the early 2000s. Democrats, [00:08:42] meanwhile, have demon demanded to know [00:08:45] more about the Epstein Trump [00:08:46] relationship. So naturally, what's next? [00:08:50] The DOJ and FBI say in the memo that no [00:08:53] further disclosure of Epstein related [00:08:55] material would be appropriate or [00:08:58] warranted. That was the quote from the [00:08:59] memo they released. No further [00:09:02] information [00:09:03] would be further war would be [00:09:05] appropriate or warranted. Got to ask the [00:09:07] question why. We know the question why. [00:09:09] The memo says much of the material [00:09:11] relates to child sexual abuse, details [00:09:14] of Epstein's victims, and information [00:09:16] that would expose innocent individuals [00:09:18] to allegations of wrongdoing. [00:09:21] Okay. So, [00:09:24] to break this down, we've got they can't [00:09:27] release the files because it relates to [00:09:28] child sex abuse, the details of the [00:09:31] victims, which you don't necessarily [00:09:32] have to reveal unless well, and [00:09:35] information that would expose innocent [00:09:38] individuals to allegations of [00:09:39] wrongdoing. So, if you're in the Epstein [00:09:41] files and you're innocent, you're one of [00:09:43] the trafficked. And now so you're [00:09:46] they're coming from this position where [00:09:48] you know we don't want to expose the in [00:09:49] innocent people to harm not the the the [00:09:52] the people from the circles that Epstein [00:09:54] ran with who were most likely implicated [00:09:57] here. So obviously a certain class of [00:09:59] people that that was mentioned in the [00:10:01] the video explainer earlier uh [00:10:03] celebrities, politicians, royalty etc. [00:10:07] All part of the transnational [00:10:11] uh neoliberal elite. So through this [00:10:14] review, we found no basis to revisit the [00:10:17] disclosure of those materials and will [00:10:19] not prevent the release of child and [00:10:21] will not permit the release of child [00:10:23] pornography, the memo says. So you don't [00:10:25] release the freaking pictures or the [00:10:27] videos. [00:10:28] This entire thing is absurd. In the end, [00:10:30] whether or but here here's the main crux [00:10:33] of the thing. In the end, whether or not [00:10:36] Trump is in the Epstein files, the [00:10:38] performative effect is the same. whether [00:10:41] or not they even exist at all as a MSAD [00:10:44] operation to entrap US officials and [00:10:47] they never intended on releasing them in [00:10:48] the first place. Right? The performative [00:10:50] effect is the same. The Epstein files [00:10:52] were never about justice and definitely [00:10:55] not about transparency. They were a lure [00:10:58] for the drain the swamp conservatives [00:11:02] uh you know [00:11:04] and intentionally crafted SCOP born out [00:11:07] of multiple movements including QAnon to [00:11:10] radicalized a dissolution overly online [00:11:15] generation nudging them toward MAGA as [00:11:17] the only faction to fight the child [00:11:20] trafficking elite. And it worked. Uh [00:11:23] because now Trump's own DOJ quietly [00:11:26] admits no Epstein client list, no [00:11:29] blackmail operation, no murder, just [00:11:31] suicide. Case closed. So what's all the [00:11:34] outrage for? To get folks to vote [00:11:37] Republican. That's what this was. And to [00:11:40] feel like they were fighting the system [00:11:42] composed of ancient CIA crypt keepers [00:11:45] and FBI officers, career bureaucrats and [00:11:48] pedophilic establishment Democrats, i.e. [00:11:51] the deep state while doing it. And it [00:11:53] was an information operation that [00:11:55] mobilized [00:11:57] and weaponized disgust, [00:11:59] redirected rage, and marketed rebellion [00:12:02] with an electoral purpose. They thought [00:12:06] that they were exposing the deep state. [00:12:08] Instead, they helped perpetuate it. [00:12:09] Right? Really, the deep state is just [00:12:11] endstage capitalism, which is [00:12:13] collapsing. But, you know, we'll put [00:12:15] theory aside for a bit and just talk [00:12:17] about the performative effects. So like [00:12:21] what were they you know what you are [00:12:22] seeing throughout our governmental [00:12:24] establishment can be analyzed as a [00:12:26] corporate pillaging getting in while the [00:12:28] getting's good and keeping it going as [00:12:30] long as possible. Now that the Epstein [00:12:33] narrative has served its purpose, [00:12:35] they'll find something else. Like likely [00:12:37] what? We're already seeing it, right? [00:12:39] Like Iranian sleeper cell terrorists to [00:12:41] conflate with criminal migrants to [00:12:43] justify turning ICE into the third [00:12:45] largest military in the world. All while [00:12:48] using taxpayer dollars to make private [00:12:50] prison contractors and defense [00:12:52] contractors like Palunteer and its [00:12:54] shadowy co-founder Peter Teal [00:12:57] monstrously rich or more monstrously [00:13:00] rich and increasingly powerful. And to [00:13:03] continue this analogy, this is all about [00:13:06] maximizing shareholder returns each [00:13:08] financial quarter come hell or high [00:13:10] water, but like as an entire government [00:13:12] and society with only plans for the near [00:13:15] future and the next financial quarter. [00:13:17] For instance, with the big beautiful [00:13:19] bill, uh the tax cuts for the ultra rich [00:13:22] will take effect before budget cuts to [00:13:24] Medicaid start impacting Americans. Oh, [00:13:28] sorry, let me back up. The tax cuts for [00:13:31] the ultra rich, capital gains tax, etc. [00:13:33] will take effect before budget cuts to [00:13:36] Medicaid, which will start impacting [00:13:39] American voters after the 2026 midterms. [00:13:42] Then what? After they start seeing the [00:13:45] Medicaid cuts, then what? What other [00:13:47] SCOP can be put in place to redirect the [00:13:50] rage of voting Americans into an object [00:13:53] other than the oligarchs and corporate [00:13:56] interests? Well, there might not be one [00:13:59] as effective in the future because just [00:14:02] look at the whole Epstein list. It was [00:14:04] tied into the core of one of the biggest [00:14:09] social and cultural issues of the MAGA [00:14:11] mo movement, which was to protect [00:14:15] children. That's what this is all about. [00:14:17] the sex trafficking, the the the [00:14:20] pedophile rings that the QAnon people [00:14:22] were talking about um you know in [00:14:25] Hollywood uh you know with the [00:14:27] Democratic establishment who are [00:14:29] basically intertwined in Hollywood [00:14:32] protect children um uh anti-abortion [00:14:36] laws uh pro-life legislation [00:14:41] women's bodily autonomy can't do it uh [00:14:44] need to protect children drag queens [00:14:47] gay drag uh men who dress in drag, uh [00:14:51] reading to children, protecting children [00:14:53] from lasciviousness, [00:14:55] uh cracking down on trans legislation, [00:14:58] you know, uh can't have a bunch of kids [00:15:02] mutilate having their genitalia [00:15:04] mutilated and then the Epstein file [00:15:06] bringing it back the core of their [00:15:07] entire platform for repealing all these [00:15:10] rights of marginalized groups. I mean, [00:15:13] not the not the Hollywood glitterati and [00:15:15] the Democrats, but like women, uh, trans [00:15:17] folks, LGBTQ plus, um, migrants, but [00:15:20] that's another thing. But all that [00:15:24] stuff surrounding sexuality was to [00:15:27] engender norms, was to protect children, [00:15:30] right? That was the core nucleus of [00:15:32] their social campaign, that and [00:15:34] immigration, and to stop wars. Of [00:15:36] course, none of this has happened, but [00:15:38] it's interesting to see that. So, [00:15:41] um, where going back to it, uh, [00:15:47] yeah, they're they're basically just [00:15:48] trying to push these social issues as [00:15:50] far as they can go to redirect rage [00:15:53] against the the ruling class, but, you [00:15:55] know, there might not be a [00:15:58] and so their their their whole core is [00:16:00] falling apart. So, it's interesting. [00:16:01] It's going to be interesting to see what [00:16:03] this does to the MAGA movement. I don't [00:16:05] think it's really going to affect him [00:16:06] too much. But a lot of people on the [00:16:08] right who are with Trump just because [00:16:10] they think he was going to get this [00:16:11] done. An important point to make is [00:16:14] after this like who's going to still [00:16:16] believe the Trump administration and [00:16:18] again after the Epstein files thing has [00:16:21] played out now it's done there might not [00:16:23] be one uh one as effective in the [00:16:26] future. And thus the technofudal [00:16:27] palunteer national database with its [00:16:30] associated predictive policing [00:16:32] algorithms, the Oracle health [00:16:34] immunization management cloud service, [00:16:36] and the absurd new ICE budget in case [00:16:39] they can't find another cause uh to [00:16:42] derail people and divide people. Now, do [00:16:45] I think this oligarchic pillaging and [00:16:48] disintegration of our government will [00:16:50] turn out that they ex how they expect it [00:16:52] to? I doubt it. We're in uncharted [00:16:55] territory. If you widen the lens to the [00:16:58] geopolitical, it's all part of the [00:17:00] destabilize, play for time, exploit [00:17:03] chaos mindset inherent to capitalist [00:17:05] interventionist diplomacy, which isn't [00:17:08] working out the way our ruling elite [00:17:10] necessarily want it to. So, take Iran [00:17:12] for instance and the diplomatic games [00:17:15] going on over there. And please uh you [00:17:18] know they want to restart the nuclear [00:17:20] talks as we continue to try and [00:17:22] assassinate the president and the [00:17:24] supreme leader in order to implement [00:17:25] regime change or collapse operations. [00:17:28] Play for time with the next round of [00:17:30] Gaza ceasefire talks in order to give [00:17:32] political cover to Israel and the joint [00:17:35] project to turn the enclave into the [00:17:37] Trump Riviera. And if we keep stringing [00:17:40] this out, maybe an opportunity to deal [00:17:42] with probably less than two million [00:17:44] Palestinians [00:17:46] will present itself. And the bottom line [00:17:49] is they aren't in as much control as [00:17:52] they like to appear. And this past [00:17:54] weekend with the Texas floods and the PR [00:17:57] front ain't looking too great. Here's [00:17:59] Cash Patel before he went into the [00:18:01] administration. [00:18:03] He's the current director of the FBI. [00:18:06] Why is the FBI protecting the greatest [00:18:08] pedtoist? [00:18:09] Simple. Because of who's on that list. [00:18:10] We have flight logs. We have information [00:18:13] names that will come out. [00:18:14] Is it going to be shocking? [00:18:15] I don't see how it's not shocking. There [00:18:17] were so many individuals that were [00:18:19] hidden, kept secret, and not been held [00:18:22] accountable. Let's talk about the [00:18:23] reverse. I believe in accountability and [00:18:25] I really believe that now with Cash and [00:18:26] Pam, there will be accountability. [00:18:28] Wasn't Cash Bal all about the FBI and [00:18:30] show? Well, now you are leading the FBI. [00:18:33] So, what now? Why did [00:18:35] All right. So this uh so why now I I [00:18:38] kind um I like John Keryaku who's a CIA [00:18:41] whistleblower and friend of the show. [00:18:42] He's been on before uh talk giving his [00:18:45] two cents. This is from a clip from [00:18:48] Unified TV. It's more kind of like a [00:18:52] right anti- athoritarian right space [00:18:54] which is kind of interesting to listen [00:18:56] to. [00:18:56] You think these two come out and two [00:18:58] little guilty kids. I remember speaking [00:18:59] to a friend of mine who was convinced [00:19:01] that he was murdered. And I said, "Look [00:19:02] at this one step at a time. The guards [00:19:04] are not supposed to work more than 8 [00:19:06] hours." Both of the guards on that unit [00:19:08] had worked double shifts, 16 hours, [00:19:10] right? Because they're short staffed. [00:19:11] You're not supposed to work more than 8 [00:19:12] hours. They do it anyway. Number two, [00:19:14] the camera was broken. Guess what? All [00:19:16] the cameras are broken. That's why [00:19:18] people are always having sex in the [00:19:20] chapel or underneath the stairs when you [00:19:22] go down to the mail room. The cameras [00:19:24] are always broken. If somebody is [00:19:26] suicidal or thought to be suicidal, he's [00:19:28] supposed to be placed in a room with [00:19:30] windows on four sides and you have [00:19:32] volunteer prisoners just sitting there [00:19:33] in a chair like this staring at him [00:19:35] 4-hour shifts 24 hours a day to make [00:19:38] sure that he doesn't kill himself. And [00:19:40] he's not given sheets. His sheets are [00:19:42] made of paper so he can't tie a knot and [00:19:44] hang himself. Every step of the way [00:19:46] there was a breakdown. [00:19:47] Okay. The question I have, do you think [00:19:48] that's intentional breakdown? [00:19:50] Probably. [00:19:50] Probably. [00:19:51] Mhm. [00:19:51] Now, let's talk about his mindset. [00:19:53] Absin. This is a guy who I mean [00:19:55] obviously he knows what he got himself [00:19:57] into. He's not stupid. He he was in jail [00:19:59] before as I understand and they freed [00:20:01] him. So he's dealing with some serious [00:20:03] people out there. Some very heavy [00:20:05] weights. Let's say he wanted to kill [00:20:07] himself. It's obviously not because he's [00:20:09] sad about what he did. It's obviously [00:20:10] because he knows that he's in the [00:20:12] walking information hazard. First of [00:20:14] all, do you think a psychopath like him [00:20:16] or sociopath like him, you got to be [00:20:18] would even attempt that? [00:20:20] Oh yeah. And I think especially for a [00:20:22] sociopath, it would be a a rather easy [00:20:24] decision. Yeah. It would be devoid of [00:20:26] emotion. He would consider just the [00:20:28] practicalities. He was what 60 years [00:20:30] old, almost 60 years old. He's looking [00:20:32] at probably second offense probably 25 [00:20:36] 27 years. Pedophiles are not eligible to [00:20:38] go to minimum security work camps. He's [00:20:41] going to be in prison for the rest of [00:20:43] his days. And so it's better to be dead. [00:20:45] I don't know unless I look at certain [00:20:48] videos or evidence and so far they [00:20:50] produced absolutely nothing. That's the [00:20:52] question mark for me. Okay. He killed [00:20:54] himself. Great. Show us. Show us what [00:20:56] you have. What's the deal? [00:20:57] Yeah. What's the What's the big secret? [00:20:59] Just lay out the evidence. [00:21:00] Exactly. And everyone [00:21:01] lay out the evidence and everybody's [00:21:02] going to walk away. [00:21:03] But they won't. [00:21:06] No. And actually um the I think magald [00:21:10] world is just going to walk away because [00:21:13] they've had to reconcile a lot of [00:21:14] things. uh since Trump took office. Uh [00:21:18] they've had to they've had the evidence [00:21:21] and they're not going to get the [00:21:22] evidence from the Epstein pros, but they [00:21:23] have the evidence for a lot of stuff. [00:21:25] Trump said, "I was going to end the war [00:21:26] in Ukraine." That's not going to end [00:21:28] anytime soon. That's going to end as a [00:21:30] frozen conflict, most likely with a [00:21:32] demilitarized zone, uh reminiscent of [00:21:36] the 40th parallel. Um sorry, I messed up [00:21:38] the parallel, but um the uh the North [00:21:41] South Korea divide. That's how that's [00:21:42] going to end. Uh Iran [00:21:45] completely beholden the US for uh uh [00:21:47] Israeli uh for long-standing foreign [00:21:50] policy. Trump is obsessed with bricks. [00:21:52] Iran needs to fall. Uh and also we seems [00:21:56] like there might be some leverage on him [00:21:58] at least as far as campaign donations [00:22:01] from Israeli actors, Zionist actors. So [00:22:05] that's not happening. Uh what else? Oh, [00:22:08] Doge was supposed to save a bunch of [00:22:09] money. Okay, but now we're doing tax [00:22:12] cuts for the ultra wealthy, cutting [00:22:14] Medicaid. Um, oh yes, we were going to [00:22:18] reduce the military budget in half, but [00:22:20] now we're expanding it above a trillion [00:22:22] dollars. [00:22:24] Uh, I don't know. Sound off in the [00:22:27] comments what else I'm missing that he [00:22:29] lied about, but I'm sure that's it's a [00:22:31] lot more. Um [00:22:36] yeah, now he's trying to like get into [00:22:39] trade war with all these BRICS nations [00:22:41] and anyone who attended the brick summit [00:22:43] in Brazil that's taking place right now. [00:22:45] Um [00:22:47] it just goes to show you that they'll [00:22:49] just lock step fall in line no matter [00:22:51] what. He will always have a devoted base [00:22:54] that can mentally morally reconcile [00:22:56] everything he does because they've [00:22:59] experienced because of the cult of [00:23:01] personality a identity conflation where [00:23:04] them and their god Trump are now fused [00:23:09] into one person. So if you if you insult [00:23:12] Trump or criticize Trump or question [00:23:14] Trump who who presents such a aura of [00:23:18] strength if you're in that mindset [00:23:19] obviously it's it's not um they also [00:23:23] feel like they're under attack and being [00:23:24] attacked directly and they need to show [00:23:26] strength too and the way they that [00:23:28] they've been taught through Trump and [00:23:30] their ide uh identity conflation with [00:23:33] him is that you do ad hominemum attacks [00:23:35] you dismiss people uh you own the libs. [00:23:39] So, I'm going to do an episode tomorrow [00:23:42] about this on my own platform, but I [00:23:44] don't think it's really going to [00:23:45] fracture MAGA [00:23:47] all that much. You're going to have some [00:23:50] bleed off. Uh, but I could be wrong and [00:23:53] I hope I I hope it's wrong, but like [00:23:55] there there's a whole ideological [00:23:56] realignment happening right now across [00:23:59] the leftight political spectrum here in [00:24:00] America. [00:24:01] Tucker Carlson who made his money off [00:24:04] like race baiting and persecuting the [00:24:07] most marginalized people in the country [00:24:09] who's now coming out as like an anti-war [00:24:11] America first like patriotic guy who's [00:24:14] interviewing uh President Pestkian of [00:24:18] Iran. Uh so and then Marjgery Taylor [00:24:20] Green's like getting on and agreeing [00:24:22] with him and she's also says a bunch of [00:24:23] horrible stuff too. Uh but but the the [00:24:26] the typical ideological lines are [00:24:29] shifting and now what you're seeing is [00:24:31] because the Democratic party refuses to [00:24:33] do anything absolutely refuses to to do [00:24:36] anything. [00:24:38] U they are catching a lot of heat from [00:24:41] their base. You know, Hakee Jeff goes on [00:24:44] this weekend, this past Friday, before [00:24:46] Congress closes session and yaps for [00:24:49] nine hours so that they could send me a [00:24:52] fundraising text asking me for $5. So, [00:24:55] that's the state of politics right now. [00:24:57] I think most people are getting [00:24:58] completely uh fed up with their [00:25:00] institutions. And so, uh where are we [00:25:03] going next? And one thing I did want to [00:25:06] say about this also this morning like my [00:25:09] producer wrote this note. Another thing [00:25:11] to consider in this episode he writes [00:25:13] there's a kind of triad of cases here [00:25:15] that are basically going ignored hidden [00:25:17] whatever. Depending on the direction of [00:25:19] the show we could tie this into Diddy P. [00:25:23] Diddy uh being only guilty of like three [00:25:25] out of the nine charges but not sex [00:25:27] trafficking despite the evidence. Sorry [00:25:29] I keep hitting my camera. and how the [00:25:31] boogeoisi ruling class elites uh can [00:25:34] literally get away with anything. And [00:25:36] let's not forget Trump also was charged [00:25:38] with all those sexual assault [00:25:40] allegations. Uh I forget what [00:25:43] specifically happened with that, but [00:25:44] wasn't he in jail? Yeah, it was not just [00:25:46] like sexual assault allegations. It was [00:25:48] like paying hush money to Stormmy [00:25:50] Daniels, the uh the porn star that he [00:25:52] was involved with. And then the obvious [00:25:54] connection between Trump and Epstein. [00:25:57] Look, it looks like a lot of the [00:25:58] glitterati, both on the left, right, [00:26:00] celebrity, political, business sector [00:26:05] are like all tied up with these like [00:26:07] high-profile uh sex trafficking cases. [00:26:11] Um, [00:26:13] just pointing that out, guys. [00:26:16] And this has been a long-standing [00:26:17] allegation, but one of the main problems [00:26:20] is that even if this isn't happening, [00:26:23] even these are all conspiracies, [00:26:25] which is a tough cell at this point, but [00:26:27] even if they all are, like one of the [00:26:29] main uh messaging problems or [00:26:31] information operations problems that [00:26:33] we're having right now, is that people [00:26:35] still believe it's only the Democrats [00:26:37] and only the people in Hollywood that [00:26:38] are mixed up in these kind of things. [00:26:41] That's insane. Um, this is why people on [00:26:44] uh in MAGA world think that they're like [00:26:47] closer and more politically and [00:26:49] ideologically aligned with billionaires [00:26:51] and you know stuff. And it's like yeah, [00:26:53] you're you're not a capitalist man. [00:26:55] You're a consumer in false class [00:26:57] consciousness with billionaires who [00:26:59] don't have a leftright position. They do [00:27:01] whatever they want. Peter Teal, [00:27:04] uh, Alex Carr, Mark Zuckerberg, they all [00:27:07] used to be primarily Democratic donors, [00:27:10] but they they they they [00:27:13] shifted tack to Trump when they thought [00:27:15] they could get more out of him. You [00:27:17] know, Donald Trump himself was a a vowed [00:27:20] Democrat. He was a New York liberal for [00:27:24] a very long time, but he shifted. He [00:27:26] wanted to get more populism uh more [00:27:28] populist and break out of the Democratic [00:27:30] party mold, which is fine, but all but [00:27:33] it goes to show you that all these [00:27:34] people within all these transnational [00:27:37] security and political circles and [00:27:39] economic circles, well, they all hang [00:27:42] out together. So, let's just leave that [00:27:45] there. And they, you know, and they all [00:27:46] sit on the same boards and they know [00:27:48] it's all good for themselves. So, now [00:27:50] that the s um now I just wanted to point [00:27:55] out a couple things. Now that the [00:27:57] Epstein list SCOP is effectively played [00:28:00] out, I mean, this drama is going to go [00:28:02] on for a while, but it's going to lose [00:28:04] traction. The news cycle is going to [00:28:06] roll over and over and over again, and [00:28:08] the Trump will still have his base, but [00:28:10] it's effectively played out, right? And [00:28:12] we can move on to a new narrative about [00:28:14] Iranian sleeper cells to justify ICE [00:28:16] crackdowns on domestic terrorism. [00:28:19] basically anyone who disagrees with the [00:28:21] administration, if you agree with the [00:28:22] administration, you get to lose the [00:28:25] designation. So, as we a as the war [00:28:30] state transitions less abroad, because I [00:28:34] do think in some ways he is a less [00:28:37] overseas war candidate, and I always [00:28:39] believed that. I didn't say he was an [00:28:41] anti-war candidate. I've always said [00:28:42] that uh he would increase the war on the [00:28:45] American citizens. [00:28:47] Uh but yes uh here we go. This is this [00:28:50] is fun. You guys will a lot of you will [00:28:52] enjoy this. [00:28:54] Pulling this up. [00:28:57] Oh, sorry. Wrong one. Technological [00:29:00] issues. Guys, stand by. And sorry if [00:29:01] you're listening to the audio. You have [00:29:02] no idea what's going on, but I'm [00:29:04] furiously working to pull up the memo [00:29:06] from the State Department from today. [00:29:09] And now I'm adding it to stage. Come on, [00:29:12] Greg. Figure it out. Here we go. All [00:29:15] right. Yes. Now that the Epstein SCOP [00:29:17] list list SCOP has played out, [00:29:21] we're going to see a focus on domestic [00:29:22] terrorism. But conversely overseas, [00:29:25] anyone who will kind of bend to US [00:29:29] foreign power and get on board with [00:29:32] regional agendas gets this Department of [00:29:35] State public notice [00:29:37] 126762 [00:29:40] revocation of the foreign terrorist [00:29:42] organization designation of the al-Nusra [00:29:45] front also known as Hayat Taril Asham in [00:29:49] consultation with the attorney general [00:29:51] Pam Bandi who won't released the Epstein [00:29:54] list and the secretary of the treasury. [00:29:55] I hereby revoke the designation of [00:29:59] al-Nusrafront, also known as Hayat Tar [00:30:01] al- Shams and other aliases, as a [00:30:03] foreign terrorist organization pursuant [00:30:06] to section 1219 blah blah blah of the [00:30:09] Immigration and Nationality Act. [00:30:13] Okay. So, like if you're 10, uh, you [00:30:17] know, Wow, [00:30:20] cool. I wonder if like you could be HTS [00:30:22] and now come to the country legally [00:30:24] under a visa. Um yeah, this det this [00:30:27] determination shall be published in the [00:30:28] F federal register. The revocation goes [00:30:30] into effect upon publication. So that's [00:30:34] been going on for uh like a week, two [00:30:37] weeks now. Uh just just going to show [00:30:39] you like a little bit of hypocrisy [00:30:42] within the uh administration. And I [00:30:44] don't know if you guys saw that. Um, [00:30:48] someone just said, "Wait, way to go, [00:30:51] Narco." Um, I think I have a video, [00:30:53] guys, that uh I screenshotted about what [00:30:57] we are doing now [00:31:00] um on the home front. So, [00:31:02] yes, we are wiping the slates clean of [00:31:06] avowed war criminals overseas. [00:31:08] Meanwhile, [00:31:10] um, and this is all again, I always like [00:31:13] to connect the, uh, the war state to the [00:31:17] police state because it's all connected [00:31:19] by the same, uh, system and it's all [00:31:22] connected by the same poly policy makers [00:31:24] and oligarchs. So, as that's going on [00:31:27] and we're we're giving forgiveness for [00:31:29] war criminals overseas, I get it. There [00:31:31] are political reasons and if you're a [00:31:33] cutthroat imperial power, you don't [00:31:35] really give a [ __ ] Uh, but [00:31:39] I don't know if you guys live in LA, but [00:31:41] ICE is increasing show force operations [00:31:44] while all of this is going on. And then [00:31:46] we're going to turn to Gaza. [00:31:49] So, from ear couple hours ago, [00:31:52] basically, um, hundreds of ICE and [00:31:55] Customs and Border Patrol officers got [00:31:57] in formation and, uh, assaulted [00:32:00] MacArthur Park [00:32:02] in Los Angeles. And this was a massive [00:32:06] show of force. They didn't detain [00:32:08] anybody. Local activists on the ground [00:32:10] got to the uh the park first before they [00:32:13] can mobilize and cleared everybody out. [00:32:14] So, it was a massive massive photo op [00:32:17] that accomplished nothing. And I think [00:32:19] it's going to backfire backfire from a [00:32:21] PR perspective. [00:32:23] Just look at this. Listen to the audio. [00:32:25] We have horses and formations. These [00:32:28] guys are all uh complete tactical gear. [00:32:31] Uh if you see other footage, there's [00:32:33] like dozens dozens of armored personnel [00:32:36] carriers. They all have assault rifles. [00:32:38] They're walking in formation. There is [00:32:40] absolutely no reason to do this. [00:32:44] Um but basically the the point is [00:32:47] they're trying to normalize this for the [00:32:50] average American. Uh yeah, someone wrote [00:32:53] giddy up. Um [00:32:56] yeah, so the whole process is [00:32:59] normalization. And I wanted to talk [00:33:00] about this cuz it's normalization [00:33:03] uh in two ways. First of all, to get you [00:33:05] seeing it in the streets everywhere. [00:33:08] It's just pe guys in full tack gear will [00:33:13] now be in neighborhoods around you uh [00:33:16] perhaps guarding grocery stores. [00:33:20] This is the new normal. Uh they're [00:33:22] starting in LA. They're doing photo ops [00:33:24] so it gets transmitted across the [00:33:27] country. Everybody sees it. So when it [00:33:29] comes to you, it won't be such a shock. [00:33:31] Another thing they're trying to [00:33:32] normalize is these joint federal [00:33:36] officers like ICE and Customs Border [00:33:38] Patrol, Department of Homeland Security [00:33:40] deployments in conjunction with National [00:33:43] Guard and Marine support, [00:33:47] right? So they deployed the Marines to [00:33:49] help out ICE. Doesn't look like ICE [00:33:51] needs a lot of help. Seems like they got [00:33:52] a bunch of freaking tac guys in tag gear [00:33:56] and also to alligator Awitz or sorry [00:34:00] alligator Alcatraz. So [00:34:04] um [00:34:06] yeah, I saw someone in the comments say [00:34:09] they're training for the LA Olympics. Oh [00:34:11] boy. Yeah, but yes, this this [00:34:13] normalization and this fusion of [00:34:17] military and paramilitary forces will [00:34:20] lead, if history at least rhymes, to the [00:34:24] creation of in the next few years, the [00:34:26] future, a completely paramilitary, [00:34:28] unaccountable Gestapo uh Stacey police [00:34:31] force that uh yeah can can basically [00:34:36] rope wrap up all the all all the [00:34:38] potential revolutionaries. So now, what [00:34:41] are the Democrats doing to stop this? [00:34:45] They're basically they they spent a day [00:34:48] talking about, you know, the Epstein [00:34:50] files and how, you know, they demanded [00:34:52] accountability for that, but they don't [00:34:53] want that coming out neither. [00:34:56] Um, so this is really interesting. Uh, [00:34:59] this article that broke on Axius today, [00:35:02] and that was [00:35:03] Democrats told to get shot for the [00:35:06] anti-Trump resistance. And there there's [00:35:09] our friend Keem Jeff. At town halls in [00:35:12] their districts and on one-on-one [00:35:14] meetings with constituent activists, [00:35:16] Democratic members of Congress are [00:35:17] facing a growing thrum of demands to [00:35:20] break the rules, fight dirty, and not be [00:35:22] afraid to get hurt. Why it matters. [00:35:25] House Democrats told Axio they see a [00:35:27] growing anger among their base. uh you [00:35:30] know morphed into a which has morphed [00:35:32] into a disregard for American [00:35:34] institutions, political traditions and [00:35:36] even the rule of law. You know this is [00:35:39] something that the the right got correct [00:35:42] or started uh [00:35:44] spouting off like 10 years ago under the [00:35:46] Obama administration because you [00:35:48] remember their big conspiracy theory. [00:35:50] Their big conspiracy theory was what? [00:35:52] You guys remember that Obama would put [00:35:54] them all in FEMA camps, you know, after [00:35:57] hor hurricane Katrina like all the right [00:36:00] the people on the right would be put [00:36:01] into FEMA concentration camps. So yeah, [00:36:04] they wanted their people to fight dirty, [00:36:06] disregarded institutions like FEMA, [00:36:08] which is our uh disaster federal [00:36:10] disaster relief organizations [00:36:13] and um you know our political traditions [00:36:16] which were no longer serving them, which [00:36:17] would actually be used to be be used to [00:36:20] get weaponized against them uh and mass [00:36:22] incarcerate people who didn't subscribe [00:36:25] to the woke ideology. Well, now because [00:36:27] of this, because of how the Democrats [00:36:30] have responded, people on the quote [00:36:31] unquote left, of course, Democrats are [00:36:34] not left, they're center right at best, [00:36:37] uh are demanding the same thing. Uh so, [00:36:40] quote, "This idea that we're going to [00:36:41] save every norm and that we're not going [00:36:43] to play the Republicans game, I don't [00:36:45] think that's resonating with the voters [00:36:47] anymore," said one House Democrat. "Oh, [00:36:49] you don't say." But you know for months [00:36:51] like Democratic lawmakers have funded [00:36:54] have fumed that their base demands to [00:36:56] quote fight harder mis and they [00:36:59] misunderstand a stupid Democratic voters [00:37:02] misunderstand the lack of legislative [00:37:05] and investigative power afforded to the [00:37:07] minority party in Congress. [00:37:10] Right, dude? Right. We've got uh uh [00:37:15] Representative Brad Schneider, a [00:37:17] Democratic from Illinois, says, "Quote, [00:37:19] we've got people who are desperately [00:37:20] wanting us to do something. No matter [00:37:22] what they say, they want more." Okay, [00:37:25] cool. Do more. Um what we're hearing, [00:37:29] the grassroots wants more. Some of them [00:37:31] have suggested, this is a quote, "that [00:37:33] we really need to do is be willing to [00:37:35] get shot when visiting ICE facilities or [00:37:37] federal agencies." A third house [00:37:39] Democrat told Axios, "Our base is [00:37:42] telling us that we're what we're doing [00:37:43] is not good enough. There needs to be [00:37:45] blood to grab the attention of the press [00:37:47] and the public," a lawmaker said. And a [00:37:50] fourth Democrat said constituents have [00:37:51] told them civility isn't working and [00:37:54] prepare for violence, to fight to [00:37:56] protect our democracy. [00:37:58] Oh, and man, these quotes go along like [00:38:01] these these Democratic senators and [00:38:02] congressmen are not happy about this. [00:38:04] Let me see if I can find [00:38:07] Oh, yeah. So, the cope is really hard. [00:38:09] And I wanted to bring this point in [00:38:10] because like everything we're seeing now [00:38:12] is going to happen because the Democrats [00:38:14] will not fight. They won't they won't do [00:38:15] anything. Uh, and this was a this is why [00:38:17] I wanted to highlight this uh this [00:38:19] article real quick. Hang on. Wait. Put [00:38:21] it back. Put it back. Okay. Um, the [00:38:24] bottom line, many lawmakers have said [00:38:27] these voters tend to be white, [00:38:29] well-educated, and live in upscale [00:38:31] suburban neighborhoods. No, they're not. [00:38:34] I mean, maybe if they're Democratic [00:38:36] Party voters. Yeah. But like, no, other [00:38:38] people who want the Democratic party to [00:38:40] bite are not white, well educ uh well, [00:38:43] they're generally educated uh or live in [00:38:45] upscale uh suburban and urban [00:38:47] neighborhoods. Quote, "What I've seen is [00:38:49] they demand that we get ourselves [00:38:51] arrested intentionally or allow [00:38:53] ourselves to be victims of violence." Uh [00:38:56] and a lot of times that's coming from [00:38:58] economically very secure white people. [00:39:02] I don't know. I feel like I've been in [00:39:04] the streets. [00:39:06] I've gotten arrested. I've seen my [00:39:07] friends get beat with nightsticks. I've [00:39:09] seen I've got pepper- sprrayed like four [00:39:13] times this past year. Um I know a lot of [00:39:16] people in LA have gotten the business, [00:39:19] but that was all under the Biden [00:39:21] administration and they were fine with [00:39:22] it then. However, what why bring up the [00:39:26] fact that these are white people who are [00:39:28] very secure? [00:39:30] They're your freaking voters. you [00:39:32] elected to be officials, you know, and [00:39:34] not just get insider trading hints so [00:39:37] you can establish generational wealth [00:39:39] once you get elected. And their argument [00:39:42] is like, not only would this, if they [00:39:44] did this, be a gift to go Donald Trump, [00:39:47] not only would it make the jobs of the [00:39:49] Republicans in Congress easier, if we [00:39:51] are mired in legal troubles, we are a [00:39:54] group that is disproportionately people [00:39:56] of color, LGBTQ people, people who do [00:39:59] not fare very well in prison. [00:40:02] Okay, cool. So, your constituents who [00:40:05] you're doing nothing for, who generally [00:40:07] are these prosecuted minority groups, [00:40:11] uh, yeah, you just keep doing that and [00:40:13] enjoying your position and proximity to [00:40:15] power. And the bottom line, y'all, is [00:40:17] that they think that these expectations [00:40:20] of doing anything aren't just unreal, [00:40:24] they're dangerous. And, you know, [00:40:27] Yeah. [00:40:30] So, uh, this is what we say. This is why [00:40:32] we say that peop that liberals, liberal [00:40:35] politicians [00:40:37] do not exist to defeat Republicans or do [00:40:41] anything in the face of fascism. They [00:40:45] cope with fascism. They try to wiggle [00:40:49] their way into a little corner of it [00:40:51] where they can maintain their privilege [00:40:53] and access to political power and money. [00:40:58] Well, the rest of us get screwed. And [00:41:00] what they really want to do is block any [00:41:04] actual progressive movement from access [00:41:07] to political power so that we could [00:41:10] actually use the government apparatus to [00:41:12] actually fight against fascism. So, [00:41:16] okay. Yeah, capitalism is the crisis. [00:41:21] Did Sorry, sorry, I said crisis, not [00:41:23] crisis. Speaking of crisis, there's a [00:41:26] lot a lot of them. Okay, so look, before [00:41:29] we get into talking about I do want to [00:41:31] spend some time uh talking about Gaza, [00:41:33] but let's just bring this up, okay? Uh, [00:41:36] another story breaking out of Texas [00:41:38] about immigration and how this crackdown [00:41:40] is going to come on us and how the [00:41:42] Epstein file is not going to fracture [00:41:43] the right. How this is going to be all [00:41:45] the new story is this guy. Wait, is this [00:41:50] is this correct one? No. Stand by. [00:41:54] Ah, yes. This happened today in my home [00:41:56] state. Officer shot and a man with a [00:41:59] rifle killed after exchange of fire at [00:42:01] Border Patrol facility in Texas. I'm [00:42:03] surprised other Border Patrol and ICE [00:42:05] agents and other cops haven't been shot [00:42:07] yet. [00:42:09] We all called it. We all knew knew it [00:42:12] was going to happen. So, basically, [00:42:14] y'all, a a young man well know that I'm [00:42:18] 35, a 27year-old, this young uh a young [00:42:22] man with a rifle and tactical gear was [00:42:24] killed this morning after exchanging [00:42:26] fire with law enforcement officers at a [00:42:27] border patrol facility in Macallen, [00:42:29] Texas, injuring several. The DHS, the [00:42:32] Department of Homeland Security, said [00:42:34] the man opened fire at the entrance of [00:42:36] the US Border Patrol sector annex and [00:42:38] Border Patrol agents and local police [00:42:39] helped neutralize the shooter. Um, [00:42:42] they're still trying to figure out who [00:42:44] he is. He was loaded for bear, the chief [00:42:46] said, adding that another rifle and [00:42:48] other assaulted weapons were found in [00:42:49] the suspect's car. Uh, the guy's name [00:42:52] was Oh, yeah. Ryan Luis. Uh, yeah, Ryan [00:42:57] Luis. Okay. Yeah. Uh so during the [00:42:59] shooting, one officer with the MA [00:43:01] McAllen police was struck by a round. He [00:43:03] got hit in the knee. He's going to be [00:43:04] fine. Uh basically the FBI is now [00:43:07] leading an investigation. There's not [00:43:09] enough known at this time. Um [00:43:13] scrolling down, what's Yeah, deputy [00:43:16] attorney general Todd Blanch mentioned [00:43:18] the two incidents on Saturday because [00:43:20] there was also attacks on DHS facilities [00:43:22] this past Saturday in Texas. said on X, [00:43:24] the Department of Justice has zero [00:43:26] tolerance for assaults on federal [00:43:27] officers or property. Apppropo of [00:43:30] nothing. I am not going to endorse any [00:43:33] of this, but um the the the [00:43:39] people who were hiding Anne Frank [00:43:43] were hiding a dangerous criminal and [00:43:45] enemy of the state and therefore they [00:43:47] were the enemy of the state. And the [00:43:50] people who arrested Anne Frank and the [00:43:53] people who are harboring Anne Frank were [00:43:56] hero Gestapo patriots defending their [00:44:00] country from an existential threat. [00:44:05] Just saying, not endorsing anything, but [00:44:08] that's how it went down and that's how [00:44:10] the thinking was at the time. Um, [00:44:13] yeah. And so that's fun. Uh they're [00:44:17] going to use this as a further excuse to [00:44:19] crack down and we can see more violence [00:44:22] and you know that life that your boomer [00:44:26] parents told you you're going to get if [00:44:28] you just worked hard and go to college [00:44:30] and you know kept your credit score [00:44:33] which was by the probably the biggest [00:44:36] grift of all time. Credit scores didn't [00:44:37] exist until 1989. Anyways that's not on [00:44:41] topic but keep your credit score great. [00:44:44] You're gonna be fine. Kids will be fine. [00:44:47] Yeah, it's not [ __ ] happening, y'all. [00:44:49] So, uh, strap in. It's only gonna get [00:44:52] worse. So, [00:44:55] oh, someone's like, "Wow, blame the [00:44:58] previous generation. How original." [00:45:00] Listen, Mima. Um, we are blaming the [00:45:03] previous generation because you guys [00:45:04] were massive champions of capitalism. [00:45:07] You guys systematically destroyed any [00:45:10] social movements that wanted a better, [00:45:12] more equitable world. I'm not talking [00:45:14] about all of you, but a lot of you. And [00:45:15] you know what? It's not even your fault. [00:45:17] That's just capitalism, baby. But thanks [00:45:19] for chiming in. Um, [00:45:23] yeah. Uh, someone says, um, Greg [00:45:27] actually looks rather worried. I'm not [00:45:28] surprised. Yeah. Um, [00:45:32] I don't have a credit score. Good for [00:45:34] you. Don't even don't even play into the [00:45:36] system. Um, someone says, "I need worse [00:45:40] before it gets worse merch." I know [00:45:42] that's some great way to cope with it. [00:45:44] But uh yeah, so expect more [00:45:46] militarization now. Now we we're [00:45:49] privatizing uh the prison system. We're [00:45:52] going to be privatizing a lot of these [00:45:54] ICE operations by deputizing people [00:45:56] using uh bounty hunters and uh bail [00:46:00] bondsmen to wrap up people with like [00:46:03] head hunter contracts. Like three grand [00:46:06] ahead once you bring in a brown-looking [00:46:08] person and he turns out to be an illegal [00:46:10] person. Um, yeah. So, this is kind of [00:46:14] what we're we're looking at right now. [00:46:16] And this is connected, of course, and [00:46:19] this why we all have to as adults, not [00:46:22] just talk about the ICE, not just talk [00:46:24] about the carceral system, not just talk [00:46:26] about the Epstein files, but like also [00:46:28] what's happening with Iran, with Gaza, [00:46:29] with bricks, uh, because we can't afford [00:46:32] to be like isolated and are in one issue [00:46:35] anymore. And we just kind of wanted to [00:46:39] have a free form discussion today about [00:46:40] how all of these things are connected. [00:46:44] Now, seeing that we're building [00:46:45] concentration camps in the Americas to [00:46:50] house um you know, dirty criminal [00:46:53] terrorists, let's go to Harets today [00:46:58] um because there was a pretty good [00:47:00] article. [00:47:03] Ah, here we go. concentrations here, [00:47:06] concentrations in our little colony. [00:47:08] What better uh demonstration of the [00:47:11] imperial boomerang? Whatever we allow to [00:47:13] happen overseas, we'll do it here. [00:47:15] Whatever forms of violence and [00:47:16] repression we use on a nuisance [00:47:19] community overseas, some indigenous [00:47:22] rebels, well, we'll use it on our own [00:47:24] people here. So, breaking today, July [00:47:27] 7th, defense minister says Israel plans [00:47:30] to concentrate, [00:47:32] I love his word choice, plans to [00:47:35] concentrate all Gaza's population in [00:47:38] quote, "humanitarian zone built on [00:47:41] Rafa's [00:47:43] ruins." This is a freaking horrific [00:47:45] headline. Israel cats says the plan set [00:47:48] for a proposed 60-day ceasefire would [00:47:51] relocate over half a million [00:47:53] Palestinians after security checks and [00:47:56] bar them from leaving. This contradicts [00:47:58] the IGF IDF chief's Sunday claim that [00:48:01] population transfer and concentration [00:48:03] isn't a goal of the offensive. [00:48:07] Um, okay. Yeah. The IDF also says that [00:48:10] 75% of Gaza to be occupied in two [00:48:13] months, two million civilians will be [00:48:15] put in three different zones, assuming [00:48:18] one north, south, and central. But I [00:48:21] actually don't think the north because [00:48:22] Tony Blair was just connected to Project [00:48:25] Gaza 2035 and Trump's Riviera. So, they [00:48:28] want everybody out of the north so they [00:48:30] can develop it. Um, [00:48:33] yeah. And then of course there's some [00:48:35] backlash like there's some think pieces [00:48:37] like Israel is marching straight into [00:48:39] the trap of seizing Gaza and it will be [00:48:41] an eternal forever war. Huh? Where has [00:48:44] that happened before? Uh so basically [00:48:48] this is nothing new. This is this has [00:48:51] been something I've been talking about [00:48:53] since 2023. [00:48:55] Uh this is not the first time they've [00:48:57] talked about it. They've always wanted [00:48:58] to ghettoize the Palestinian population [00:49:02] with inside Gaza and kind of west [00:49:04] bankify it so uh that they can be [00:49:08] controlled, maintained, and completely [00:49:10] surveiled and there's no escape there. [00:49:12] There wouldn't be any transmut mission [00:49:15] between enclaves while they recolonize [00:49:19] and resettle Gaza and completely [00:49:21] privatize it. And of course, you know, [00:49:23] one of the reasons the GHF was used in [00:49:26] the first place is to again normalize [00:49:30] having US contractors on the ground uh [00:49:33] so for an eventual push to use US [00:49:36] contractors, US and Israeli defense [00:49:38] companies, which they would take our [00:49:42] public tax dollars to do this, wash it [00:49:45] out of the p public sector into the [00:49:47] private and make a lot of money. What [00:49:51] would what would be interesting to see [00:49:53] is if groups like uh Geog Group or Civic [00:49:58] or like all these different corporations [00:50:00] that are building the alligator [00:50:01] Alcatrazes and all these ICE detention [00:50:04] centers are or or their subsidiaries are [00:50:08] involved in these quote unquote [00:50:10] humanitarian operations in the Gods of [00:50:12] Strip. They always are. You know, [00:50:14] Palunteer is providing technology uh [00:50:18] algor algorithms to target quote unquote [00:50:21] Hamas members in the most devastating [00:50:22] way possible with their uh gospel AI and [00:50:26] the lavender. And then uh they're also [00:50:29] infamous for their predictive policing [00:50:31] algorithms which target, you know, [00:50:33] minority and poor neighborhoods here in [00:50:35] America. So yes, all connected. Here we [00:50:39] go, guys. says, "If you have any [00:50:40] comments, I'm going to start looking at [00:50:42] them now." [00:50:49] Okay. Someone says, "F you and your [00:50:52] sensationalism coverage. Keep your eyes [00:50:55] on Gaza and West Bank, Free Palestine, [00:50:57] and the rest of all imperialist." [00:51:00] I don't know why that's so adversarial. [00:51:01] I always talk about them. Moving on. [00:51:05] Okay, [00:51:06] Jaden Z. Someone told me they're trying [00:51:08] to make a billionaires party and I'm [00:51:11] like, don't they have both the Dems and [00:51:13] the Reps already? Actually, Elon Musk is [00:51:18] crashing out trying to make an America [00:51:20] party [00:51:21] um that is supposed to compete with [00:51:24] MAGA. I think Elon Musk already lost [00:51:29] uh his battle with the US government. [00:51:31] He's the richest man in the world, but [00:51:32] he's not. The reason he was the public [00:51:35] face of the oligarchs is because he's a [00:51:36] freaking joke. He's on freaking ketamine [00:51:38] all the time and he's not scary like [00:51:40] Peter Teal or Alex Karp or Larry Ellison [00:51:43] who have always been in the shadows who [00:51:45] started their entire career using CIA [00:51:48] venture capitalism money for Palunteer [00:51:50] for Oracle. Like [00:51:53] they've been doing the same thing for [00:51:54] decades with discipline because they [00:51:57] have a vision they want to achieve. Elon [00:51:59] Musk is just crashing out, losing uh [00:52:02] billions of dollars, Tesla stocks [00:52:04] tanking. Uh he pro might get voted out [00:52:07] by his shareholders. [00:52:10] So uh [00:52:12] yeah, uh I don't think he's going to be [00:52:14] part of the the cool billionaires party [00:52:16] uh anymore. But yes, uh both both [00:52:20] parties serve the interest of capital [00:52:23] and US is a uni party. They don't live [00:52:25] under democracy. They live under [00:52:26] capitalism. Yes. But then again, like I [00:52:29] don't want to get too historical. Has uh [00:52:32] has democracy ever existed? Like during [00:52:35] the Athenian Empire and the Periclean [00:52:37] Golden Age, like what 400 uh BC, [00:52:41] emphasis on the word empire. Uh yeah, [00:52:44] democracy only included [00:52:46] white or like Greek landowning men. [00:52:50] Women couldn't even leave the house. Uh [00:52:52] it was a slave-based society. [00:52:55] Uh, I mean the slaves were generally [00:52:57] treated better than they were in the [00:52:59] transatlantic slave trade, which was [00:53:01] like the most brutal manifestation of [00:53:02] slavery. But yeah, there was it was a [00:53:05] democracy if you're like a freaking [00:53:07] Greek who owns land. So that was cool. [00:53:11] That was uh how that was how our [00:53:14] democracy was uh kind of built off after [00:53:18] uh in a way uh also the Roman Republic, [00:53:21] but of course then you had to be a land [00:53:23] owner too. But anyways, um, okay. These [00:53:27] billionaires want nothing but civil war, [00:53:30] and I'm sure the Americans will comply. [00:53:32] Well, what I think they want more is [00:53:37] if you read the the dark enlightenment [00:53:40] literature of Curtis Yarvin, who kind of [00:53:44] shaped their thoughts and who Peter Teal [00:53:47] really respects and admires. And of [00:53:49] course, Peter Teal uh bankrolled the [00:53:52] Trump campaign. He co-founded Palunteer. [00:53:55] He created JD Vance as a political [00:53:59] operator. Uh they kind of want like [00:54:03] these kind of anarco capitalist [00:54:05] technofudal citystates that they all get [00:54:07] to like rule over and then become [00:54:09] transhumans and then like go into space [00:54:12] and walk in hard vacuum and it's [00:54:15] literally insane. Um so I mean the civil [00:54:19] war they'll be fine. [00:54:23] I think Gaza proved liberals will [00:54:26] sacrifice the liberty of others for [00:54:28] their own safety, whereas leftists will [00:54:31] sacrifice their own safety for the [00:54:33] liberty of others. Yes, if they're not [00:54:36] too busy starting a book club or [00:54:39] fighting amongst themselves and like [00:54:41] calling anarchist liberals and then the [00:54:43] anarchists call the Marxist Leninist red [00:54:46] fascists and then it all descends into [00:54:48] infighting. So, let's let's just uh [00:54:51] let's just kill each other after all [00:54:53] this is over, guys, right? Um, okay. [00:55:00] Let's see what we got. [00:55:04] Scott Ritter got on GG yesterday. [00:55:06] Endorsement of it. Turned it off. I'm [00:55:09] not sure what he Scott Ritter endorsed. [00:55:11] Of course, him and I have our have our [00:55:14] differences. Um the word humanitarian [00:55:17] would rather die than be involved in [00:55:19] such an operation. Yeah, guys. So, I [00:55:21] mean, that's kind of where we're at [00:55:22] right now. Um [00:55:25] the Gaza ceasefire talks and the Iranian [00:55:28] nuclear deal [00:55:30] and [00:55:32] the attempt to gaslight the American [00:55:35] people into this just ICE just being [00:55:38] about immigrants. It's all part of the [00:55:41] same textbook and gameplay, which is to [00:55:45] basically put a narrative together, [00:55:48] repeat it so many times, and then lie [00:55:50] about it, shift the goalposts just to [00:55:53] make it to the next yard line, the next [00:55:55] play, the next financial quarter. So [00:55:58] Gaza ceasefire talks are basically [00:56:02] political cover for the Trump [00:56:04] administration giving Israel time to [00:56:06] corre construct these uh humanitarian [00:56:08] safe zones from which they can [00:56:10] forcefully immigrate people or just make [00:56:12] them completely disappear. Uh the [00:56:15] Iranian ceasefire talks are just keeping [00:56:17] the negotiations going while the US [00:56:20] continues to try to implement regime [00:56:21] change or regime collapse operations and [00:56:24] assassinate the supreme leader and the [00:56:26] president of Iran. uh the ICE stuff is [00:56:30] basically trying to get consent and move [00:56:32] the Overton window further and further [00:56:35] right all the time so that these uh his [00:56:40] support base will kind of accept that [00:56:42] it's just about immigrants and oh no [00:56:44] it's really it's about like also [00:56:46] dangerous political activists who were [00:56:49] naturalized citizens but now because [00:56:52] they're no longer American anymore they [00:56:54] need to be de denaturalized and deported [00:56:56] and then it's going to be for political [00:56:58] dissident like everybody watching this [00:57:01] live stream uh for for the concentration [00:57:04] camps, but at least hey guys, you know, [00:57:06] your bunk mates's going to be cool. So [00:57:09] that's fun at least. Um [00:57:13] yeah, uh I kind of wish I could end on [00:57:15] like a [00:57:17] positive note. Let me say this. I don't [00:57:20] think it's going to work. [00:57:22] I don't think it's going to work. I [00:57:24] don't know how it's not, but like [00:57:26] they're really rushing and they're kind [00:57:28] of flying by the seat of the pants, [00:57:29] their pants. And when we talk about the [00:57:31] Iran stuff and the Israel Palestine [00:57:34] stuff and even the IS stuff, these [00:57:37] policies [00:57:40] and these political stunts and gambits [00:57:44] are being done by the same cabal of old [00:57:47] ass boomers [00:57:50] who told us we'd be in and out of the [00:57:51] Iraq war and that Afghanistan was going [00:57:53] to be a victory and that all these [00:57:56] things were great and all these [00:57:57] adventures [00:57:59] that didn't work out. They failed, but [00:58:02] they did accomplish their goal, which [00:58:04] was to make money. America doesn't fight [00:58:07] wars to win them. It fights wars because [00:58:09] it's the most avowed capitalist entity [00:58:11] that's ever existed, and it makes money. [00:58:15] Um, so that's what we're looking for. [00:58:17] Now, that being said, they've never [00:58:20] never been able to achieve their stated [00:58:23] strategic goals. So, when Trump says, [00:58:26] "Hey, we're going to deport all these [00:58:27] illegal aliens." No, you're not. Hey, [00:58:30] we're going to depopulate the Gaza Strip [00:58:32] and annex the West Bank. When have you [00:58:35] ever achieved your goals? You're going [00:58:37] to implement regime change in Iran. [00:58:40] Okay. I I would be more bleak about the [00:58:43] prospects if any of this worked ever, [00:58:47] which it hasn't. So guys, we're going to [00:58:50] be doing a Thursday episode probably on [00:58:52] like the Brick Summit uh and what that [00:58:54] means globally. And there's a lot of [00:58:57] stuff to talk about today. I just kind [00:58:59] of wanted to jump around and hit all [00:59:01] these different subjects and kind of in [00:59:03] a more colloquial informal way just kind [00:59:05] of ruminate on how these things are all [00:59:08] connected. I know some people like a [00:59:10] hundred people have just joined like [00:59:11] when in the past three minutes. I'm [00:59:13] sorry y'all. We're at the end of our [00:59:15] time. I wish I could keep going, but [00:59:18] I've got uh Spanish lessons uh later in [00:59:22] like 30 minutes and I haven't done any [00:59:23] of my homework. So, you should [00:59:25] definitely rewind to the beginning, get [00:59:27] caught up. Thanks so much for watching, [00:59:29] y'all. We are on Patreon here at Menress [00:59:31] News. If you're picking up what we're [00:59:32] putting down, and if you don't if you [00:59:35] don't have any cash or don't want to get [00:59:36] nickeled and dimed by a bunch of [00:59:37] channels that you do like, like, share, [00:59:39] subscribe, maybe drop a comment. Uh, [00:59:42] this pushes out in the algorithm and [00:59:44] we're just glad you're here. So, uh, [00:59:47] this has been the Fstein files are done [00:59:50] as a scop. they're going to move on to [00:59:52] something else or just not really have [00:59:53] SCOPS anymore and just be like you [00:59:55] should shut up or you're going to the [00:59:56] camps. Uh so we'll see. But you know [00:59:59] we're not in this alone and we're all in [01:00:01] this together and people will get more [01:00:02] politically active and the political ch [01:00:04] landscape even within the next year will [01:00:07] change in ways we can't even foresee. So [01:00:09] don't lose faith. It's going to get [01:00:11] worse before it gets better. Hopefully [01:00:12] we live to see it. But as the good [01:00:14] captain John Brown once said, "I cannot [01:00:16] remember a night so dark as to hinder [01:00:19] the coming of day." So, uh, see you [01:00:22] Thursday. Cheers, y'all. Have a good [01:00:24] night.
