0:28Hey, do me a big favor, head on over to YouTube and like us and subscribe. this is the end of the war is naivete at best. Now, I give Hamas two or three months before they launch another massacre attack on Israel and this whole terrible process starts all over again as the Palestinians party in the streets with their AKs like it's 1499. These people have been fighting each other over this little patch of sand in the desert since the beginning of time and people are acting like Trump finally put an end to the single most complicated geopolitical issue on the planet. Break me off a piece of that bullshit bar, no thank you.

0:58Now, it's a complicated issue and I'm not even exactly sure on where I stand with Israel, to be completely honest, because everybody's walking around so sure of themselves these days, when most of us know absolutely nothing about the dynamics or the history of the situation on the ground. Everybody has become a Monday morning quarterback expert on everything now. Have you noticed that? Of course, I do have my opinions on the matter, like how Israel was completely justified for defending itself vigorously after October 7th. Did the Israelis take it too far after that with their relentless attacks on Gaza?

1:30Possibly, even probably. But I try to remain somewhat neutral here because sometimes when somebody breaks into your house and kills your family, one might just be tempted to turn around and burn the intruder's house to the ground in retaliation. I'm not sure how I would react in that scenario, so in that sense, all cards are on the table. I mean, apologies for the reductionist perspective, but this is a 10-minute talk show and it moves fast. It's also entirely possible that both the Israelis and the Palestinians are simply both wrong. Because anytime you get massive gatherings of people living next to each other who worship their own religions as God itself, you're bound to have some issues over the millennia.

2:06I mean, as a deist, that's how I see most religious folks, by the way. Yeah, they've replaced God with religion itself, not realizing that they worship the altar instead of the creator. That's probably a whole nother topic for a whole nother show. But yes, go ahead and believe for a moment that Donald Trump was the one single man to bring together the two tribes of Isaac and Ishmael. I mean, give me a break. I hate to be so pessimistic, but I'm only working with the entirety of world history to shape my worldview on how to look at this situation. And I don't see it ending well anytime soon, which is why I choose to remain relatively neutral on this topic.

2:43Like I do with many others. I don't know. And it's time to normalize. I don't know. I just see human beings acting like human beings always have at scale. We're a violent, violent species. But again, it's great to see that the hostages are coming home, presumably, but I don't believe for a second that there will be peace in the Middle East for any measurable amount of time. Hamash is probably just gathering their next batch of resources for the next attack that Palestinians and campus liberals alike will ultimately praise in the streets like a bunch of idiots. I said relatively neutral on this topic.

3:15We should also talk about the fact that there are a lot of crazy conspiracy theories about the Jews out there getting louder and louder again. I say again because these conspiracy theories against Jewish folks are nothing new. So much that I don't even need to repeat them here because I think you know exactly what I'm talking about. The problem is even striking close to home for us here at Newsweek with our own Josh Hammer, somebody that I consider a friend and colleague. And I'm sure many of you have seen this recent back and forth with professional internet troll Candace Owens, who somehow stupidly managed to blame Josh Hammer for the plotted assassination of Charlie Kirk.

3:51I kid you not. She's that ridiculous. I don't even believe that she was actually born. I think she was hatched from a rotten egg that Alex Jones gave birth to sometime around the unholy dawn of PitaGate and QAnon. And you could toss half the Maga Menagerie into that same putrid egg sack. Tucker Carlson, Roger Stone, Mike Flynn, Laura Loomer, Stephen Miller, Sydney release the Kraken Powell, Mike Lindell, Carrie Lake, Marjorie Jewish Space Lasers Green. Why don't you go talk about Jewish space lasers and really why don't you f*** off? How about that? And of course the Groyper King himself, everybody's favorite Mexican white supremacist, Nick Fuentes.

4:30The list goes on forever. These people represent the dark side of free speech. And if we want to play the same nonsense conspiracy games they like to play against us, against them, then I'm starting to suspect that most, if not all of these clowns and others like them are not in fact free thinkers, but paid actors and nefarious groups like the KGB, MSS, MI6, Mossad, the CIA, and every other intelligence operation that uses disinformation as a weapon. I cannot prove any of it, of course, because that's how disinformation works. But we can see the telltale signs that most of what these professional trolls say are not original thoughts, but programmed talking points from an unseen third party.

5:10And don't act like this doesn't happen. In fact, U.S. prosecutors recently exposed a multi-million dollar Russian scheme that funneled money to American media figures through shell companies tied to Russia Today. Similar state-sponsored influence networks have been uncovered worldwide, from China's MSS to Western agencies running covert narrative campaigns, all proving that paid propaganda and digital manipulation are not conspiracy theories but an ongoing reality of modern information warfare. These are the people who weaponized good old-fashioned American conspiracy theories to the point that seemingly half the population is willing to accept them as fact.

5:46We need to make conspiracy theories fun again. And I think one way to do that is to make fun of these paid puppets for what they really are, glorified carnival barkers selling snake oil. I know, I should talk, right? No, I could promise you that I am not one of them, but if I start kissing Putin or Winnie the Xi Jinping Pooh's ass and driving a Ferrari out of the blue, you might be able to assume that they got to me. No, I wouldn't do that. Driving a Ferrari is a nightmare for introverts like myself. Every time you pull into the gas station, every single dad within a 500 square foot radius is going to walk up to the car and try to talk to you.

6:19Is that fun to drive? Oh, I bet that's a blast, huh? No, thank you. I'll take an F-250 any day over that. Another thing I don't understand about this whole Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Josh Hammer debacle is why it had to happen in the first place. From what I can gather, a major Jewish donor to Turning Point USA was upset that Tucker was being given a platform at one of their events, which frankly makes a lot of sense given Tucker's long history of flirting with anti-Semitic tropes and cozying up to the far-right fringe. The donor threatened to pull funding, Charlie got frustrated and vented privately in a group chat, and Candace Owens, never one to miss a chance to stir chaos, twisted these private messages into something much darker.

6:58There's no credible evidence that anyone was being paid by Israel or that Josh Hammer had any foreknowledge of anything. I know that he speaks to Charlie Kirk at night and then at 9.09 p.m. again we're talking Eastern. Josh Hammer tweets in favor of public execution and there's no context that is provided. The entire narrative is a bad faith fabrication at best and Candace weaponized grief and humor to smear a Jewish colleague, and she did it right as Josh was offline for a Jewish holiday, knowing that he couldn't respond. That's not just dishonest, that's cruel. And for that, she's terrible and should be condemned to hell for it.

7:30No, I'm just kidding. Look, Israeli folks have every right to defend themselves against state-sanctioned radical jihadists, however they see fit. And if in response they destroy the homes of everyone who celebrated what Hamas did on October 7th, maybe next time they'll think twice about kidnapping and slaughtering a bunch of innocent civilians in and around a music festival. Oh yeah, and by the way, if you network TV programs are going to show dead Palestinian children on TV, you should be required to show dead Israeli kids right along with them. No, I think it should be illegal to show these kinds of images on public airwaves to begin with, but I really don't care which side of the war the kids were on.

8:05Any idiot can see that they're all the same and clearly didn't deserve what happened to them. The difference is the network news shows are just using this footage to sell tampons and antidepressants. That's the real crime here. Netanyahu says Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Of course he would say that. Trump has been begging for that thing for years. How embarrassing. It's like the ultimate participation trophy at this point for a billionaire dunce that already has everything but that. Now don't be surprised when he asks for a second or third Nobel Prize when the novelty wears off in a couple of weeks.

8:36The medal, made of 18-carat recycled gold and plated with 24 Oh no, he's not going to like that. Recycled plated gold? He's going to think you pulled that out of a dead guy's mouth. The coin features a portrait of Alfred Nobel on the front. Well, he's not going to like that either. Perhaps this is the final frontier for the man-baby who has everything to place his own face on the Nobel Prize. Heck, let's just call it the Trump Prize from now on, can we? Do you honestly believe for a second that Trump would be against that idea? Next headline in Newsweek, Marjorie Taylor Greene feels afraid fighting for release of Epstein files.

9:10Marjorie Taylor Greene, the machine gun Kelly of Congress, says that she genuinely does not understand why there's been any effort to hide and prevent it from coming out when she's one of the ones truly on the front lines. Yes, now Marjorie Taylor Greene knows what it's like to be Harriet Tubman. Yes, it's always funny to watch these hacks start acting so incredibly reasonable as soon as the midterm elections start coming around. She's been glued to Trump's butt like white on rice and all of a sudden she's found God over Epstein. And I really wish I could believe her. Because I believe more than anything that the Epstein files should be made public information, and I believe that she wants that too.

9:45I'm just suggesting that she's falling all over herself at this point to make it appear as if she's on a mission for truth that's somehow bigger than her well-documented adoration of Donald Trump. She's just upset that he wanted to put somebody else in her seat because she's always been seen as a loudmouth and a liability for the party, and there's only enough room for the one big clown in today's GOP. Both things can be true at the same time. She can want the Epstein files to be released, and she can also be using this like the awful opportunist that she is. An absolute pit viper if I've ever seen one.

10:17And I think it's sad that this is what makes for a great politician these days. It's not just Marjorie Taylor Greene, it's the entire system. It seems like it functions more as a machine that does nothing but to serve as a platform to narcissistic sociopaths who would do and say anything for a campaign donation in your vote so they can spend millions of other people's dollars for a job that pays$174k per year. Oh, that reminds me, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's net worth jumped to$21 million since joining Congress. Just saying, sometimes you can make more with a flop than you can with a hit.

10:49And until we can do it again, it's Newsweek Radio. I'm Jesse Edwards. Catch you next time. Bye. And we say bye-bye! Newsweek Radio is a member of the Trust Project.
