Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04All right, this is a big week, big weekend, early week into news. Of course, we know Benjamin Netanyahu dog walked Donald Trump straight into war with Iran. Netanyahu has wanted this war for 40 years and Donald Trump is the president that is stupid enough to give it to him. And there's a big story that is being buried in this news cycle because obviously going into war, especially a Republican led war in the Middle East is highly unpopular with the American public. But they're distracting, number one, from the Epstein files, and number two, from election fuckery. This regime is coming after the midterms, and ProPublica has, I think, the biggest story of the week, aside from the Iran war.
0:51Trump officials attended a summit of election deniers who want the president to take over the midterms. The meeting's participants included Kurt Olson, a White House lawyer charged with reinvestigating the 2020 election, and Heather Honey, the Department of Homeland Security official in charge of election integrity. And here's an excerpt from this article. Several high-ranking federal election officials attended a summit last week at which prominent figures who worked to overturn Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 election pressed the president to declare a national emergency to take over this year's midterms.
1:33And Michael Flynn, y 'all may remember Michael Flynn, all of these crazy characters are there. So what is the national emergency going to be? Here's probably what's going to happen. We go to war with Iran. We're probably going to be cyber attacked. And then he's going to declare rule over the elections and nationalize them. This is coming. This man is not going to give up power. While we're at war, he's talking about the draperies in the White House. He's talking about his ballroom. He's tweeting about Lady Gaga's father. He doesn't care. He doesn't care one bit. But let me tell you who cares about all of this stuff.
2:16And he wants to make sure that the United States of America has a weak, easily manipulatable president. And it's Benjamin Netanyahu. Benjamin Netanyahu is a complete pathological liar. Here, AIPAC spent close to$300 million, the same amount that Elon Musk spent to make sure that Donald Trump was president. They all know he's a dementia duck, and so the shot clock is running. They have to get as much out of this weak president as they possibly can. Here is Benjamin Netanyahu speaking about this war. Play the clip. This is the third day of the Operation Roaring Lion, the operation of the Israeli army in the state of Israel set out to, with our great friends, the United States of America and President Trump, to thwart existential threats to Israel and great threats to America and the entire world.
3:16When I stand here in a place that was bombarded by the terrorists in Tehran against innocent civilians, you see the difference. The tyrants of Tehran target civilians. We target the tyrants of Tehran to protect civilians. I've said for many years that they threaten not only Israel and not only America. They chant death to Israel, death to America. That's their ultimate target. But I said that they would also target those in between, that they would target Europe. They did. And if this regime... Okay. Does this guy think that we're stupid? I mean, number one, everybody's seen the report that a school, a girl's school in Iran was targeted.
3:58And those little girls were civilians. Hospitals have been targeted. But furthermore, let's just go back to Palestine. I mean, this guy on purpose targets civilians, and then he stands there and just propagandizes. And that's the thing that's so frustrating about these men. They get away with this stuff and they get an assist by the Western media. Benjamin Netanyahu came to Washington, dog walked Donald Trump straight into this war because Donald Trump is too lazy to have convictions. All he cares about are his personal grievances and decorating the White House. This old queen could give two shits about it.
4:39But Benjamin Netanyahu is big on this Israeli hegemony. That is his big issue. He has been dying to bomb Iran for 40 years. Previous American presidents listened to the Pentagon, listened to the Joint Chiefs and said, no, it will unravel into a huge regional mess. Do not do it. Donald Trump doesn't take advice from anybody. And all Benjamin Netanyahu has to do is flatter him and say, oh, you're going to be so great at this. You're going to be considered a savior. Everybody's going to say that you're the best president in the world. And he'll go, okay, I'm in, let's do it. Or does Benjamin Netanyahu have the goods on him from his buddy, Jeffrey Epstein?
5:26I mean, it's unbelievable how compromised Donald Trump is and how the United States of America is operating from such a position of weakness. I've never seen the United States look so weak. Joe Biden, who everybody said, you know, he's old, all of that's true. He was, but he straight up told Bibi, I'm not bombing Iran. Kamala wouldn't have bombed Iran. Donald Trump is so stupid and so easily manipulated and so weak. This was a layup for Benjamin Netanyahu. And it makes you understand why AIPAC spent hundreds of millions of dollars to get him elected because they knew they could manipulate him like this.
6:08And while all this stuff is going on, okay, Trump sends Melania to the UN Security Council to preside over it. I saw this and I just thought this administration is so weird, but here she is at the UN. Rule 39 of the council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, Undersecretary General of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, to participate in this meeting.
6:47It is so decided. Okay, what are we doing here? Like, what are we doing? We are not even a serious country. You have Donald Trump sending his wife to the UN Security Council. And here's the deal. As excruciating as that was to listen to, that's an upgrade from Trump because he would have been sitting there rambling about God knows what, the 2020 election, all of his grievances, all of his resentments. And meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu's dream of Israel's hegemony in the region is coming to fruition because Donald Trump is weak and compromised. We have never had an American president that is so easily persuaded by bad actors as we do right now.
7:37It is jaw-dropping. And here's what gets me. You have, like, let's take Ted Cruz. Let's take Lindsey Graham. Let's take Chuck Schumer. All of these people are big Israel first politicians, and I'm showing bipartisan complaints of this. We've got Chuckles, Democrat, the other two Republicans. How on earth does this war help working class Texans, working class New Yorkers, and working class people from South Carolina? How does it help them to realize Benjamin Netanyahu's dream of doing this? How does this possibly help the United States of America? We are going to send billions, if not trillions of dollars.
8:21We've already spent$8 trillion on wars in the Middle East. The American public has fatigue. But here's what gets me about MAGA. These people, I mean, they are so MAGA brainwashed. They voted for Donald Trump. A lot of them, if you asked them two years ago, I voted for Donald Trump because I want transparency in the Epstein files and I want no wars. I don't want any more wars in the Middle East. We're tired of these neocons. Pete Hegseth, a video resurfaced of him a year ago saying he was a neocon in recovery. What's he doing now? He's a big fucking neocon. And all of this money, all of this hard work, American taxpayer money, the people that actually have to pay taxes and get very little social safety net in return, very little infrastructure investment in return, very little healthcare benefits, anything like that in return, are going to fund this war that is now exploding the region into the biggest shit show because we are governed by an idiot that sends his illiterate wife to preside over a UN Security Council.
9:30And in any other presidency, if Jill Biden, if Michelle Obama were there presiding over a UN Security Council meeting. Fox News would be on live support. Jesse Waters would be full-blown hyperventilating. But they do all of this stuff with impunity. And that's the thing about Donald Trump that gets me. How many people give this guy a pass? It's just staggering. And while this war is raging, he's refusing to do press conferences. This is a guy who cannot get in front of the press enough. And he finally gets in front of the press. and this old queen is sitting there talking about his interior design projects.
10:08And, you know, we say, oh, we can't have a woman in the White House because she'd be too emotional. Could you imagine if a President Hillary or a President Kamala had just struck Iran and then we're talking about the drapes in the Oval Office? Can you imagine the misogyny and the sexism? But this old queen, he gets away with it. Play the clip. Nice drape. When that comes down right now, you see a very very deep hole but in about a year and a half from now you're gonna see a very very beautiful building and there's your entrance to it right there in fact it looks so nice i don't think i'll even i think i'll save money on the doors because it can't get more beautiful than that i picked those drapes in my first term i always like gold but i think we can save a lot of money i just saved i just saved curtains but uh and it will be it'll be spectacular be the most beautiful ballroom.
11:02I believe it's because I built many a ballroom. I believe it's going to be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world. And when you hear all that hammering out there, you know why the First Lady is not thrilled exactly. She said, will the pile drivers ever stop? You know, they go from six in the morning till 1130 in the evening. Can you imagine? Okay. So I've heard enough. So think about it. Think about how far the Republican Party has fallen. Think about all these national security people. Think about all of the times you've been at a sporting event in the United States of America. And there's quite a few MAGA people in the audience.
11:40And they're like, let's honor. We have these two veterans in the audience. And now we're going to sing the national anthem. And everybody stands up. And they do all this performative, I support the troops. And I'm a big, badass, performative patriot for this guy. this guy that just sent American troops to Iran. And this is not going to end well. It's going to be death. It's going to be destruction. And his words are, there's going to be more deaths because that's just the way it is. And he's sitting there talking about the drapes and his ballroom. And that brings me back to the top story that I started with.
12:18This man is governing as though he's never going to leave. And ProPublica has told us he is going to do everything he can. And he has a whole committee of conspiracy theorists, ambitious psychos that are going to do everything in their power to take the midterms away from us. Why? Because these people can't win on merit. They always have to cheat. Elon Musk, he had to cheat. He has to pay Donald Trump$300 million to be a cool kid and close down elections. Peter Thiel, he can't put his name on a ballot and go run. So he has to buy J.D. Vance, the country's top prostitute. These people cannot win on their own merit.
13:05They cannot play by the rules. And they're giving it all up for this old queen that is going to get away with all of this. And it's devastating to know that, but we all have to come to terms with this. The Supreme Court gave this man immunity in a very vague ruling. And he is going to pardon all of the people surrounding him. So we have to keep applying pressure to the party that we can, and that is the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party must be clear-eyed about this war. They must be adamantly anti-war and keep pounding the pavement about how weak and pathetic this political movement is. They don't believe in anything.
13:48They don't even care about Epstein anymore. They don't even care about, oh, he's the biggest pro peace president ever. He's bombed more countries than any president in the modern era. All right, that's all I have. Like, subscribe, comment. We'll be back later.
