Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04All right, what do Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump have in common? They are both homicidal, gaslighting killers, period. They absolutely do not care about human beings. They prioritize and quantify which lives are important and which lives are not important. They lie and say they're all about freedom and democracy for everybody, and they're bringing this great brand of democracy around the world. It's all bullshit. The main things they have in common is that they both are criminals, and they will do everything in their power to cling on to power so that they do not face accountability. Timothy Snyder, who you all know I've interviewed on IHIP News, is a scholar, and he has a post on Substack that will send a chill down your spine.
0:50Pop this up. A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or, quote, federalize the coming congressional elections. And the title of his piece is The Desire for Terror. So you guys have probably heard a lot about false flag attacks. And we all have to be on alert that when wars are very unpopular like this, there can be a domestic attack. A lot of theories being floated in intelligence right now, I have on the record from a source that they are very, very concerned that the attacks are going to come in the form of cyber attacks.
1:41And these cyber attacks will be a false flag operation where it looks like, and the American intelligence under Trump's regime can say, oh, this is the Iranians. They have a cyber attack, the United States, and they have the voting machines. Therefore, we are rendering them unsafe and we must federalize the elections. Donald Trump is building that ballroom. He has the SAVE Act as a top priority of his, the gerrymandering debacles, the non-stop talk of the third term. This is a man who will not leave that Oval Office. He is going to do everything in his power to stay there. These false flag attacks are coming and they will, in my opinion, and I have a source in Washington, they are very, very concerned that this is Trump's next step and his way to federalize the elections, a.k.a.
2:42when he federalizes them, you guys, he cheats. Well, and he cheats no matter what. And to your point about him not leaving, when I look at, let's assume that the midterms go forward and there are enough people that impeach Trump. He will never leave office. He will not honor that. He will stay. And there's no power that is not under his control to do that, to remove him from office. And with all of this election stuff, I mean, it is no secret that he has gone, moved heaven and earth to try to make sure he continues to be in power. He has gone full tilt on this war. And I, again, I go back to the Zelensky Oval Office meeting when he's like, well, if you're at war, you don't have elections.
3:33And all of this revolves around his continued desire to stay in power. And I don't see how we get him out, even if we did vote to get him out. All right. So when these things happen, when these wars happen, and then typically a healthy government, a transparent government would have intelligence really amped up to prevent cyber attacks, to prevent domestic terror attacks, attacks on American soil. Not in the Trump regime. And you may remember this article from last week. Cash Patel guts counterintelligence. Cash Patel gutted FBI counterintelligence team before tasked with tracking Iranian threats days before U.S.
4:21strikes, sources say. So basically, they want no apparatus to keep American citizens safe. I want to say that again. The Trump regime is eliminating any apparatus that will provide for prevention and public safety while the country is engaged in an illegal war. Why? We know from scholars who study autocrats, they have disdain for their supporters. MAGA supporters are just transactional to Donald Trump. They aren't even really humans to him. He doesn't understand the plight of American people. He has said very demeaning and degrading things about the troops. When he visited a World War II cemetery, he famously said, why would they do it?
5:15I was just like, why would you do this? I don't get it. They're like losers and suckers to get injured or killed. We all know how he treated John McCain. And the interesting dichotomy of this to me is in Republican circles, they're really hyped up on patriotism and supporting the troops. It's like a huge part of their identity. And you have this president who, after Trump 1.0, all of the people that worked around him came out of that administration and said, this guy's like Hitler. This guy's a full-blown fascist. This guy doesn't have any respect for the United States military. This guy's an idiot.
5:49Rex Tillerson called him an absolute idiot. And these people are right-wing neocons. These are people that are probably cheering this Iranian war on. But when they spent time with him inside the White House, they came out of that and thought, Jesus Christ, this guy is a dangerous idiot. And so we have this dangerous idiot that at every turn dismantles anything good or protective about the United States government. In my mind, with all of these, you know, what's going on with Trump, I think that he is actually cheering for an attack on the United States for a twofold reason. The midterms, yes, but also that it would gen support.
6:36If there was an attack on U.S. soil, it would gen support among Americans for this war. Do I believe that he would allow this type of thing to go on so that he could gen support for himself and keep himself in office? Absolutely. If Americans die, too fucking bad. And just a reminder, remember way back when Trump 2.0 got started, they appointed a 22-year-old with no experience to be in charge of the domestic terrorism threats in the United States. And I just want to say it goes to the theory that these terror threats and attacks in the United States are not going to be thwarted yet are being sponsored by the United States government, in my opinion.
7:28I don't think there's any question. I mean, there's a theory that Benjamin Netanyahu funded Hamas and he wanted to stay in power and let the border where the Hamas terrorists went over into Israel, that he let that lapse. There is a lot of this type of thing that happens. and there's no question that we should all be at the edge of our seat because he's got to do something here. And Benjamin Netanyahu could give a shit about the rule of law. Donald Trump could give a shit about the rule of law. Everybody that went to work for Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about the rule of law. And I will even go this far.
8:16Everybody that voted for him doesn't give a shit about the rule of law. He's a convicted felon. Everybody knows he's a convicted felon, a liar, and a con man, but they willfully voted for him for various reasons, racism or money. And this is a political party, a political movement of depravity, of absolute depravity. And Mark Elias, you all may know him. He is the premier election lawyer in the United States of America. Pop this up. Breaking. President Donald Trump declared Sunday that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the Save America Act, dramatically escalating his campaign to force the voter suppression bill through the Senate.
9:06He says he will not sign any other bills. So this is where I get so frustrated with Democrats. You think, Jennifer, why are you talking about Democrats right now? That article was about Donald Trump being a dick. Well, here's where I'm going to tell you guys. Do you see the fight he puts up? I'm not doing jack shit until y 'all pass this. And he forces it. That type of tenacity is what the Democrats need to have as an opposition. We're not showing up for work. We're not signing shit until we get everybody on the record on this war, every single person, but we don't do it. Democrats don't fight that way because so many of them are compromised and they're paid controlled opposition, or we have the rotating villain strategy, which always seems to work out to make sure the Republican party gets the votes that they need.
10:04And when I see headlines like that, I think I wish the Democrats had that kind of gangsta in them. I wish that they would say, we're not doing jack shit. We're not funding the terrorist organization, ICE. We're not funding the terrorist country, Israel. We're not funding shit. We're not doing any of this shit. It's all anti-American. It's all illegal. It's all unconstitutional, but they don't. They don't do it. So let's see what the opposition party is going to do about all this stuff. Let's see what the minority leader does. The head of the nominal opposition party in the House, not ruling out further, bankrolling Trump's Iran bloodbath, is an objectively pro-war position.
10:56And this is Adam Johnson talking about Hakeem Jeffries. He goes on to say his limp process criticisms about Trump, quote, not making his case mean nothing if he doesn't oppose more funding. And NBC News reports, the headline says, Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding. Well, I wonder why that is. I wonder why minority leader Jeffries will not commit to that. And I'll tell you exactly why. We know exactly why. Hakeem Jeffries is bought and paid for. And people in the House we've had Democrats on are really skeptical of criticizing him. And this is, there's two signs of betrayal here.
11:46Number one, Hakeem Jeffries taking so much money from AIPAC. And now we know he is helping AIPAC funnel money to pro-Israel candidates. And he knows that within the Democratic Party, any AIPAC funding is, I think it's like less than 10 % support in the Democratic Party. Yet he continues to do this. So then, all right, Hakeem, we know what he's going to do. He's going to wake up every day. he's going to play two sides. He's going to be completely duplicitous. He's going to be like, oh my God, Donald Trump's a nightmare. He didn't make the case for war and DHS needs to have masks, I mean, remove their mask.
12:28And then the other side, he's like, well, it's okay, I guess, to kill US citizens as long as they have cameras on their chest. And it's this duplicitous argument. So then we have to take it, okay, we can't get him to do what we want. We cannot get him to do what he was elected to do, which is listen to his base. The Democrats famously loved to crowdsource their support, not Hakeem Jeffries, because if he were to look at the polling of him and how underwater he is and how underwater Chuck Schumer is and how underwater Israel is and how much the Democratic base hates military provocations that kill children and women and make amputees and destabilize the world with American taxpayer money.
13:10and then tell the American citizens tough titties, you can't have healthcare. We don't know how we're going to pay for it. So then we have to look to the progressive caucus in the house. What are you guys going to do about Hakeem? This isn't a normal time period where it's like, okay, he's a corporate dem and Mitt Romney's president. So, you know, we'll work this out. We have a fascist authoritarian as president right now. And Hakeem is a fascist collaborator, full stop. I don't know about you guys, but I have really long work weeks and my weekends are just so busy. I never end up getting the rest that I need.
13:53And then I wake up Monday morning and I feel and look depleted. And that's why I am so happy that I just started Prolon's five day fasting mimicking diet because it works at the cellular level to reset and rejuvenate from the inside out, supporting sustained fat loss, lean muscle metabolism, slower aging, and even glowing skin.

When you look at all of what's going on right now, it blows the mind and shocks the conscience that what is going on in the Trump administration, starting with voting, where they want to disenfranchise 70 million voters, minorities, and women, because they are so scared all of their other safeguards to keep Trump in office might not work.
15:32And you look at an unpopular, illegal war that is committing war crimes and you can't find your balls to stand up against it at that point, that tells me you never will. You never can. To sit there and act like after all of the funding that has been increased for the Defense Department that he can't commit, fuck you. You have to commit. If you cannot commit about a legal war that is killing children, then you are not someone that should be in Congress, period, in my opinion. Well, and that's my point, Pumps. He's not going to. No. Us expecting anybody, the Progressive Caucus, us, anybody expecting Hakeem Jeffries to do what's right here is exercising the active definition of insanity.
16:23So then my next thing is, is the Progressive Caucus, because Rochon is leading more morally on all of these things. Are they just going to sit around and go, it's just a foregone conclusion that he has to be the leader. You think the Republicans operate this way? No, they don't. They kicked out McCarthy. They had 95 ,000 embarrassing rounds. And now they have little Moses Mike Grinder Johnson as the Speaker of the House because they wanted a Trump loyalist in that position. Well, what the Democrats want is a fighter. What the Democrats want in our leadership position in the House is somebody who says, I oppose this illegal war.
17:02I'm not giving another fucking cent to Israel. No boots on the ground. We will fight this tooth and nail. We are the opposition, full stop. So I have zero expectation of Hakeem right now. I then move to who can force him out because that's what needs to happen. Because at the end of the day, they have the same bosses. The boss of Donald Trump is Benjamin Netanyahu. The boss of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer is Benjamin Netanyahu. That just cannot be. So I expect Hakeem to do this shit. I expect Hakeem to be duplicitous. I'm looking for solutions. We need a democratic opposition party that full blown goes full tilt and says we cannot have Hakeem here anymore.
17:52He's taking money from Palantir. He's funneling money from AIPAC to other candidates. He is duplicitous. He is a passive warmonger, and we're trying to fight for our country. And then he's just thinking if he just holds the line, he's going to get to be speaker. I have news for you, Hakeem. You're not going to be ever. If you keep playing like this, they will have completely successfully taken over American democracy. And then we will have a faux electoral democracy, just like Russia. That's the danger of this. And I don't think I'm being hyperbolic at all. So progressive Democrats, force him out.
18:39Force him out. If he is funding, He won't. He's still going to fund this war. It's the easiest layup position. This war has a 23 % approval rating and the opposition leader won't rule out not funding it and being an actual opposition party. Are you kidding me? I mean, I just wish the progressive caucus, he needs to be unseated. Enough is enough. This is not going to get better as we get closer to the elections. It will get worse with him at the helm. And Chuck Schumer, I mean, please, everybody in the Senate, do the world a favor. And the progressive senators there need to do the same with him.
19:26All right, that's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment, and we will be back later with more news.
From the publisher
It seems more and more likely that Trump is desperate for anything to raise the popularity of his War with Iran.
