In short
The host argues the U.S. has little control over an Iran war that they claim involves Russian and possibly Chinese support, and that U.S. policy is driven by pro-Netanyahu interests rather than U.S. interests. They also claim Russia and allies use election interference (Hungary) to inspire authoritarian Republicans.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04I know that a lot of us when we watch the assassination attempt in Butler everybody kind of I thought, what was going on there? What really was going on there? Does the Secret Service allow a guy to stand up, pose for a photo? Do they miss, there's only one roof there. Do they miss all of these agencies and sheriffs? Do they miss checking that roof? Well, some interesting information is coming out of Hungary. Pop up this headline, Seth. The Washington Post has a story that says, to tilt Hungarian election, Russians proposed staging assassination attempt to aid Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a friend of Russia.
0:49In his election, operatives proposed the game changer, a staged assassination attempt to stir supporters. Well, that's pretty interesting, don't you guys think? So the thing with Hungary is the American Republican Party looks to Hungary for inspiration. They look to a electoral autocracy as inspiration. They don't look to our founding fathers, even though they say they're hardcore patriots, we're hardcore Americans. CPAC and all of these dictators, they look to this model of Viktor Orban. Viktor Orban is a completely compromised, two-bit dictator who is not respected by anyone in the world, except for other fascist dictators.
1:44And so there's going to be an election in Hungary. There have been massive protests. If it is a free and fair election, there's no question that Viktor Orban will lose. but who knows if it's going to be free and fair because you know how these things go, right? So interestingly, we have Russia who has Viktor Orban as their puppet so that they can break up the EU. Russia is helping Iran kill Americans right now in the Iranian war. America's ally in the war is Israel. And so bizarrely, Benjamin Netanyahu endorses Vladimir Putin's number one puppet in Russia, Viktor Orban, via video. Watch. Greetings from Israel to all my friends in CPAP.
2:35I want to thank you. I want to thank you for standing up for Western civilization. I want to thank you for standing with Israel, because you know that Israel is the forward position that protects our common civilization against this tide of radical, fanatic Muslims who not only torture their own people, but also threaten our Arab friends and threaten every one of your countries. So thank you for all that. And I want to thank my friend Victor Orban. He's been like a rock. Today we live in turbulent times. You need leaders who can protect against this rising tide and can also assure safety and stability for their own countries.
3:18This is what Viktor Orban has in abundance. I know many world leaders, and I can tell you that he's right there at the top. OK, a couple of things here. Number one, the way that he just threw out that Islamophobia and it's never checked, it's never covered at all, is just really breathtaking. It's just imagine if somebody said that about Jewish people. It's just outrageous how fanatical he is in his language and how he projects the propaganda that he's using onto his victims, first and foremost. Secondly, Viktor Orban is BFFs with the guy, Vladimir Putin, who is helping Iran with their strikes against your war, Benjamin Netanyahu.
4:10Think about that. So what is going on here? He's congratulating CPAC, all of his friends at CPAC. These are the loser MAGA, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Bible thumper, nut jobs in America who ruin everything, who look too hungry for inspiration. Why the Democrats haven't hopped on that the American Republican Party looks to Hungary and their makeshift wannabe democracy, feigning democracy in Europe. That's who they look to for inspiration and not to the founders, not to from within. No, they look to this. And so here's what's so crazy here, right here. Watch this. Russia is helping Iran. Play the clip.
4:58Russia is helping Iran target Americans in the Middle East, and China could soon get involved too. We're told by multiple sources that Russia has been providing Iran with intelligence about the locations and movements of American troops, ships, and aircraft, marking Moscow's first known involvement in this war. Now, it's hard to say just how important the Russian intelligence has been to the Iranians, but several Iranian drones have hit locations where U.S. troops have been in recent days, including in Kuwait, where six American service members were killed by an Iranian drone on Sunday. China could also be getting ready to help Iran financially and with missile components, according to our sources, but they have been more cautious in their support for the regime.
5:41Okay, so I have to say what's going on here. We know that our president, because we've seen it with our own eyes, really fancies Vladimir Putin. We know that he bends over and kisses the ground that Benjamin Netanyahu walks on. You've all seen the video where he pulls out the chair very dramatically. There's all of these rumors quite substantiated by British intelligence that Netanyahu was the driving force along with Jared Kushner and Steve Whitcoff to get the United States into Benjamin Netanyahu's war that he's been pining for for 40 years. Is Benjamin Netanyahu just so diabolical that he doesn't really give a shit if Russia helps Iran kill Americans because he just wants the whole thing balkanized and he just uses the American army and the American military to help Balkanize Iran so he can make a greater Israeli hegemony?
6:42Is that how diabolical he is? And I think the answer to that is probably yes. But here is Senator Chris Murphy on the utter incompetence of the United States of America. And I want you all to think about the billions upon trillions of dollars that we have all spent, taxes, the decades, the elections, the wars, the Pentagon spending. And this is how incompetent all of that spending has come to this. Listen to Senator Chris Murphy explain it. Just to be very clear, you are a no on any funding request. I'm absolutely a no on any funding request. I mean, every single day, this war makes less and less sense.
7:25We're going to give Iran$14 billion to fund this war with the United States. We're going to give Russia billions of dollars to fund their war with Ukraine. We're literally putting money into the pockets of the very nations that we are fighting right now. We've never seen this level of incompetence in war making in this country's history. And frankly, we've had a lot of incompetence in war making. Okay. So just so you're clear on what's happening here, We had to let go of sanctions on Russia so that they could release oil into the market. When Russia starts making money, then they have more money to help our ally, Ukraine.
8:11All right. Then the country that we started a war with, Iran, they released sanctions on that country so that they could sell oil. So everybody on the planet is benefiting from this war, except for the United States of America. It is a complete, incompetent, staggering level of malfunction from these idiots surrounding Trump. And CBS had a poll out that 92 % of Americans want this war over as soon as possible. And I'm going to tell you this much. Benjamin Netanyahu has no desire for that. He wants the war to go. He wants that whole area balkanized. Do you think now Vladimir Putin is going to want this war to be over?
9:02I'm just, I'm not a crazy person here, but are Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu colluding in this thing? Because I can't for the life of me understand why we're in this because Miriam Adelson is BFFs with Trump, because Jared Kushner used to host Benjamin Netanyahu at his house. I mean, really, who is this for? This does not benefit the United States of America. Furthermore, there was rumors all over the weekend that the Trump administration was looking to make a deal with Iran. It was the exact same deal that Obama had, that they ripped up. And Benjamin Netanyahu has said it very clearly, very concisely, multiple times, that this has been his dream come true, that he has desired starting this war with Iran for the last 40 years.
9:56And now it's finally happened. You think he's going to pack his toys up and leave, especially when it's so easy to pile on praise to Donald Trump? Furthermore, a British intelligence officer said that he thinks that Whitcoff and Kushner are Israeli assets. So do you think they whisper in Trump's ear, do you think that this is going to end? And then there's another set of rumors besides the one that Trump's trying to make a deal. I guess it's whoever has his ear the last moment is that he's about to send he's preparing to send troops to Iran. It's it's completely insane. So let's just, when all else fails, let's follow the money.
10:39Pop up this chart. So Ed Elson made this chart here. Winners of the Iran war. Number one, Eric and Don Jr.'s drone company investments. Number two, Jared Kushner's plans to reconstruct the Gulf. We know that he wants to completely redevelop Gaza, where people live, where their homes were before Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government genocided the whole place. And then the Whitcoffs, the Whitcoffs Middle East real estate deals. The corruption here is so deep and it goes in a circle. So you have Whitcoff, who is the US special envoy to the Middle East, his sons, Alex and Zach, and they're benefiting off of this.
11:24And then you have Donald Trump and his son's dumb and dumber, and then his son-in-law that, according to UK intelligence, they think he's an Israeli asset. So where on earth, all of these people, these MAGA people who were so concerned about inflation, who were so concerned about grocery prices, who voted for the pro-peace president, how does this help those people, those American taxpayers that cannot get higher wages, they cannot get healthcare. If you get a root canal, tough titties, either suffer in pain or go bankrupt trying to get it out. But Trump, Whitcoff, Kushner, dumb and dumber Trump, they're all making billions.
12:09And Benjamin Netanyahu gets his dream and guess what? Vladimir Putin is now selling oil on the free market again. So everybody wins except for the United States because this guy has never been America first. He's always been America last, and he's always been Trump first. All right, that's all I have. Like, subscribe, comment, and I'll be back later with more news.
