Transcript

I just really wanted to show you uh this moment featuring a United States Senator. So, um take a look. >> Let's try a diplomatic solution. I think it's going to fail. What happens next? I spent 4 and 1/2 hours with President Trump Friday. Here's what I think will happen next. If this deal fails, President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz over by force. The United States will control the Strait of Hormuz. We'll charge a fee for all those who go three through to pay for the operation, and we're going to expand the Abraham Accords in calendar year 2026. Uh we're going to get Saudi Arabia join the Abraham Accords, and uh which is the biggest change in 5,000 years in the Middle East. And if Iran contest control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we'll obliterate them. That was Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who uh is suddenly a military expert and seems to know better than our own military, military generals, colonels, doesn't matter. Uh he believes that the United States can militarily take over the Strait of Hormuz, which um I don't know, Lindsey, don't you think that if that was really an option, a real option to Trump, you don't think he would have tried that already? Don't you wonder why that didn't happen? When he says that he met with Trump and spoke to him for 4 hours last Friday, do you think he was really saying, "Yeah, let's give diplomacy a shot?" Or do you think he spent those 4 hours lobbying Trump or attempting to convince Trump that there is a military option when clearly there isn't one? >> Yeah, so look, uh for whatever reason, that video put me over the top. Uh I now think like we've done and said all we can. At this point, uh the overwhelming majority of the country is clear. We want to decouple from Israel. We have a negative view of Israel. We do not want to go to their wars. 78% of the country says, "Get out of this war right now. We're not in favor of genocide. We're not in favor of funding genocide. So, Lindsey Graham can play all these war games that he wants and then Trump and Vance have a decision to make and they're either going to do Israel's bidding and commit more war crimes, more wars, etc. Or they're going to decouple from Israel because there is no middle path. If you're with Israel, Israel demands wars and genocide and demands that you pay for them. If you don't, they'll take your head off, okay? And we've got more of that coming up later in the show. And anyone who is 1% disloyal to Israel and they feel entitled to 200% of your loyalty. The 100% loyalty and the other 100% is groveling. If you're not groveling to them, they think it's not good enough. So, you have to decouple completely from Israel. If they don't do that and they have us go back into these wars, Anna, nothing's going to matter because the country is going to be so mad at the economic collapse. >> is going to be mad, okay. [laughter] >> But before we even get to the rest of the world, the American people are going to have a reaction that the Lindsey Grahams of the world are not going to like at all. And nothing we say will be able to slow that reaction down. Because people are absolutely sick of it that and these people in power are not getting it. We're up to here, man. We we can see the truth clearly now. When you keep telling us Israel's the innocent victim and that we have to pay for everything they do including these wars that get our soldiers killed, our service members killed, and have wasted now over $8 trillion. No, no, no. You cause one more economic collapse for Israel and no one will be able to stop the wrath of the American people. So, okay. That's not That's me as a news person giving you my analysis of the current environment we're in. And so, >> My favorite is when >> That's not my decision to make. It's their decision to make. >> favorite is when Americans get scolded for complaining about higher gas prices as a product of this war, right? I mean, there's been plenty of that. And so, look, I bring that up because I just want to explain in a calm, dispassionate way, okay? Cuz I know I'm a very passionate person, people take it the wrong way. So, let me just be as dispassionate as possible. For the Zionists, for the Israel firsters, people don't hate you because I mean, a lot of these people are Christian Zionists, but for the Jewish Zionists, people don't hate you because you're Jewish. Okay? When they're already struggling to put food on the table for their families, we're already deep struggling economically prior to this. Now, on top of that affordability problem that Americans were furious about and elected Trump to do something about, they have to pay much higher gas prices so Israel can have the war they've always dreamed of. That is going to lead to a lot of anger and rage toward Israel and Zionists in general, not because they're Jewish, but because of their ideology and everything that comes along with that ideology, which includes pain and suffering for people across the globe at this point, either economically or in that region of the world, genocide wise, ethnic cleansing wise, land stolen wise. >> Yeah, I want to add one thing to that. Look, uh the Zionists are in a cult and they don't realize they're in a cult at all. And now, they'll be deeply offended by that cuz they're deeply offended by literally everything. If you're not on your knees for Israel, they're deeply offended and think you're an anti-Semite, and I'm not exaggerating. So, why do I say that today? Because today, utter war path uh against Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York, because he said that AIPAC was acting in a monstrous way, which they most certainly are, okay? They're demanding unconditional support for Israel even if they committed a genocide. >> No, thank you. >> Even if they drag us into wars, and they are buying off all of our politicians. They're doing that the same way that big pharma does, big oil does, defense contractors do. But now, the Zionists in this country are saying, "You can criticize all those other lobbies, but if you criticize AIPAC, we're going to call you an anti-Semite." So, they're calling Zoran Mumdani an anti-Semite for that all over media, all over all the anchors are, all the politicians are. Now, businessmen are getting involved, and if you don't call Zoran Mumdani an anti-Semite for being opposed to one of the most disgusting PACs, and just by the sheer volume of their donations. All these PACs are disgusting the way they're buying off our politicians. If [snorts] you If you don't criticize Mumdani for criticizing AIPAC, they're saying you're all anti-Semites. >> That's crazy. >> So, that's why I'm saying it's a cult because they're detached from reality. 80% of the country isn't anti-Semitic. They They didn't They barely know anything about Jews, let alone hate Jews, right? But, unfortunately, Zionists in their cult have been taught all people hate Jews. They're going to come to get you. They're going to kill you all. So, you have to strike first, and you have to call everyone an anti-Semite, and you If they don't support Israel 100% 200%, they're vicious anti-Semites, and your life's IN DANGER. YOU HAVE TO ATTACK THEM. ATTACK THEM AND destroy them. No, you're in a cult, and you need to snap out of it because not only are you doing great damage to America and to the rest of us, but you're also doing great damage to Jewish Americans. Most of them do not agree with you. 63% of Jewish Americans are against this current Israeli government. But, you keep saying we say, "Hey, Israel should stop their war crimes," and you say, "Jews." We go, "No, no, no, no, no. Israel." You go, "Jews." You're spreading the anti-Semitism. >> Totally. >> But, they can't see straight cuz they're in a cult, and until they just like somehow get out of their brainwashing, they're never going to believe anyone. They're just going to go, "Oh, yeah, yeah, those guys that are trying to help us, that are saying, 'Hey, like we should protect Jewish Americans by not associating them with actions of a terrible government today, which is true of the Turkish government, the Saudi government, the Israeli government. They go, "Nope, all I see is anti-Semites as far as the eye can see and I'm going to try to destroy my way out of this." >> Yep. >> Not only destroying Lebanon and Iran and Gaza and West Bank, but also and Syria, but destroy any Americans in America that they deem to be anti-Semites. >> Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live
