In short

The episode argues that Trump is being pushed into (and then abandoning) the Iran conflict due to outside influence, not military expertise, and that corporate media and JD Vance are covering for this. It cites Bloomberg/Raw Story reporting that unnamed State Department insiders say Trump was pressured by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Fox News/ Rupert Murdoch to strike Tehran. The host claims Netanyahu is a war-crimes target and that Murdoch “brainwashed” older voters. It attacks MSNBC’s Katie Tur for rejecting the “duped into war” framing, and criticizes Trump’s tweet after Iran’s death of a former veteran/FBI director. It also condemns JD Vance’s comments about Charlie Kirk’s death as performative hypocrisy, noting the Trump administration’s Department of Education banner for Kirk and alleging Vance avoids gun-violence context.

Notable examples

Trump’s “radical left” tweet, Mueller death tweet, and Vance’s remarks about firing/professor consequences.

0:34Some bombshell reporting. It's so bombshell that when I prepared this episode and sent it to our producer, Seth, I sent a link from an article on Twitter. And when he went to pull it up, it had been removed. And so that tells you the veracity of this reporting is probably spot on if Elon is taking down posts. Don't worry, we have it nonetheless. But who, why are we at this war in Iran? Who had Trump's ear? Because he's not some military mastermind. Somebody dog walked him into it. That's just all there is to it. Bloomberg is reporting the following, pop up the headline. This is via raw story reporting on Bloomberg's reporting, State Department fumes after insiders reveal who motivated Trump to launch Iran war.

1:26And here's an excerpt from the article. Speaking with Bloomberg on the condition of anonymity, the insiders claimed that Trump was under pressure to strike Iran from at least two individuals outside his administration. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who's wanted by the International Court of Justice for alleged war crimes, and Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire conservative media mogul and architect of Fox News. Murdoch communicated with Trump several times as he urged the president to take Tehran, according to one person briefed on their interactions. Are you fucking kidding me that we are in a situation with such an incompetent titty baby that does not listen to his own Pentagon, which we have funded.

2:17Before we fund healthcare, before we fund services for Americans, we funded the fucking Pentagon to the tilt. And he will not listen to the Pentagon, but he listens to a war criminal. And fucking Rupert Murdoch of Fox News has brainwashed all the boomers. Are you kidding me? This is where we are right now and the whole world order, inflation, gas prices, all of this stuff, because we have a weak ass president. It's just makes me so fucking mad. And what else makes me mad is corporate media. The more I watch it, the angrier I get. So here is Katie Tur on MSNOW trying to tell us that if we say Benjamin Netanyahu, despite Benjamin Netanyahu saying, thank you, Donald Trump, for helping me realize my 40-year dream of invading Iran, and the Secretary of State and the Speaker of the House, all saying that Israel convinced Trump to do this, that if we say that fact, that somehow we're anti-Semitic.

3:27And this is on MSNOW, I'll play the clip. Was Donald Trump duped into war with Iran? That is the argument you're hearing from angry folks in MAGA, perhaps to absolve the president and their vote from dragging us into a war. But honestly, does anyone actually believe that this president suddenly lost all agency and was tricked by the Israelis? Yes. As Joe Kent argued in his resignation, placing the blame. Yes, 100 % we do. Did she just say, does anybody believe that this president has lost all agency? What footage have you been watching, Katie, over on MSNOW? Because 100%, we think he has zero agency.

4:11This man, his brain is completely cooked. So I guess Katie Tur thinks we're stupid that we haven't seen all of the clips of this man droning on about confusing insane asylums, and those seeking asylums and Hannibal Lecter and the man who drones on about Arnold Palmer's cock, who tried to give a microphone a blowjob, all the crazy shit he says every week. Of course, we think he has no agency because we're not stupid because we believe our eyes and our ears. And so that type of sane washing and cover that she's providing for a war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu, that stuff is over. That's why everybody's leaving corporate news because it's so insulting to our intelligence.

4:56The dumb people watch Fox News, Katie. That's where they are. The people who watch MSNOW are not buying that. So please save it. And Trump, of course, he has the attention span of a gnat. And so he is already kind of done with the Iran war, and now he is wanting to go back to fighting the enemy from within. Pop this up. Trump posts, now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the radical left, highly incompetent Democratic Party. Thank you for your attention to this matter. And Canning thinks, we think he has lost all agency? Well, fuck yes, we do. Look at this crazy shit that he tweets.

5:40Robert Mueller dies. And he puts up this banger, pop this up. Robert Mueller just died. Good. I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people. President Donald J. Trump. Okay. This political party is the party that had a stage five meltdown when Charlie Kirk was murdered. And because some people called out, like, I hate that the guy got shot, but he was a piece of shit racist. Hundreds of people lost their jobs. JD Vance was hysterical. Donald Trump could have given two shits. They asked him on the tarmac. We know Charlie was like a son to you. How are you dealing with everything? It's like, Hey, have you seen this bulldozer that's about to build my ballroom?

6:26It's just insane, the hypocrisy of this party. And so we have it on all fronts. We have the propaganda coming at us from the administration. And then you have the sane washing and ridiculous pitch from corporate media that always is trying to provide cover for a war criminal. Benjamin Netanyahu, break up with him already. Nobody thinks Israel is this great democracy. Everybody knows that it's a fact that it is an apartheid state. It is a fact that they committed a genocide. It is a fact that Benjamin Netanyahu wants this Iranian war a million times more than Donald Trump does because he's already back to wanting to fight Democrats.

7:09And we're supposed to think that his brain isn't cooked? I mean, come on. But let's listen to J.D. Vance, who he probably won't say a word about his boss's tweet regarding the death of a former veteran, a former director of the FBI. He won't say a word about it. But here's what he says about Charlie Kirk, who was a total racist, homophobe, white supremacist piece of shit. Play the clip. Celebrate Charlie Kirk's death. You should not be protected from being fired for being a disgusting person. If you're a university professor who benefits from American tax dollars, you should not be celebrating Charlie Kirk's death.

7:50And if you are, maybe you should lose your job or your university should face a loss of funding. If you are the kind of person who thinks that Charlie Kirk was justifiably murdered, sometimes the government can't do anything about that. But you know what can is civil society. And I've actually been gratified to see all these people standing up and saying, yes, we have free speech and yes, we have free debate. But if you're celebrating the death of a young father, you ought to pay some consequences for it. And the American people are rising up against that evil. It's a great thing to see. And there was Jesse Waters at the end of that.

8:28I cannot fucking stand these people. so jd vang it's all performative it's all bullshit they don't give a fuck about charlie kirk they've never spoken about like hey we need to do something about gun violence particularly on college campuses they've never addressed the fact that hey charlie kirk's shooter came from an all white town all maga world is like white on white on white on white crime he dies while he's talking about gun violence, saying it only happens with gangs, which we all know what that was. He dies being the racist that he was when he was alive. And they cherry pick because they wanted Charlie Kirk to be this big thing.

9:18And here's the thing. When I saw the video of Charlie Kirk getting shot, it was devastating. It's just horrible to see somebody get shot so senselessly. Truly it is. I'm not happy that Charlie Kirk is dead. I didn't celebrate that Charlie Kirk is dead. I'm not going to engage in revisionist history and try to act like he was something he's not. And the Trump administration has a banner of Charlie Kirk up on the Department of Education. And it's just such a slap in the face to so many black Americans, gay Americans, but they don't care. They don't care. They get to pick when you're upset. These people want to be the thought police.

9:55and they're just breathtaking hypocrites. And you would think that people at MS now would call it out. It's the continuing moral rot and moral collapse from every institution we have, which is why I'm so grateful that you guys watch independent media, our channel, and others. But you may remember last week, I did a bit about CNN putting out a poll where they polled MAGA people. And we're like, do you support Trump in the war in Iran? And it was like 100%. And I was like, the fact that CNN puts this out and then doesn't have a cult expert afterwards to talk about the brainwashing effects of being in a cult was just horrible journalism, horrible reporting.

10:40And I further said Trump's going to see that poll and he's going to do bad things. He's going to make bad choices. Watch this. POLLS HAVE SHOWN THAT MAGA IS ESSENTIALLY UNIFIED BEHIND YOU AS ARE REPUBLICANS WHEN IT COMES TO IRAN. THERE'S BEEN REPORTS THAT THE UNITED STATES MIGHT BE SENDING 2 ,500 MARINES TO THE MIDDLE EAST. ARE YOU CONCERNED THAT A MOVE LIKE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CHANGE THE UNITY? I DON'T KNOW. I SEEM TO HAVE GREAT SUPPORT BECAUSE CNN CAME OUT WITH A POLL TODAY THAT I'M AT 100 PERCENT AND THEY SAID THEY 'VE NEVER SEEN A POLL LIKE THAT. But the CNN poll said I'm at 100 percent, and they've never seen that before, which is an honor.

11:21I was impressed that CNN would do that. But as far as troops are concerned, I can't tell you what we're doing. Mr. President. So for me, the autopsy of all of this MAGA stuff is, number one, a bunch of dumb people that believe fall prey to conspiracy theories, scapegoating marginalized people. But number two, the role that the press has played in this from the jump, I mean, from 2015, 2016 on, whether it's alleged liberal outlets or Fox News, they have played such a critical role. And you see from MSNOW, which, you know, people on the right think is just a hotbed of communism, and you see the corporate glazing they do for Trump.

12:10It's just, it's stunning. And then CNN, which again, people on the right think is just this hotbed of socialism and all these people with pronouns in their emails and their bios, right? And it's just, it's assist after assist after assist. And oftentimes scholars tell us that liberals collaborate with fascists to keep the corrupt economic system in place. And that's what you're seeing with MSNBC and with CNN, Washington Post, The New York Times. You see liberals collaborating with fascism. That's what you see with Chuck Schumer. That's what you see with the minority leader of the House, Hakeem Jeffries, and other Democratic politicians.

12:57They are fascist collaborators because they have to keep their supporters, their PAC money, and their lobbyists happy. But I want you to know we are not going to collaborate with these people. We're going to call them out every chance we can get. So make sure you're subscribed to our channel, like and comment, and we'll be back later.
