We're talking about actual stuff today. It's really amazing. Next up is that guy Mahmoud Khalil.

So they picked him up. He's not charged with a crime. And they sent him to Louisiana, away from his eight-month pregnant wife. So he's asked, so now Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, he's asked, is there any evidence of a link to terrorism? Or is it just Mahmoud Khalil's point of view? So, by the way, as a guest of the United States, you cannot speak out against Israel. Because America first.

Just so you know. First to speak up and say, hey, stop criticizing Israel. So here we are. Ask you about a decision you made to revoke a student visa for someone at Columbia University this past week. The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes the administration needs to be careful. It's targeting real promoters of terrorism, not breaking the great promise of a green card by deporting anyone with controversial political views.

Can you substantiate any form of material support for terrorism specifically to Hamas from this Columbia student? Or was it simply that he was espousing a controversial political point of view? So spoiler alert, no, he can't. They had because if he did, they would charge him with a crime.

Well, remember last time Rubio made her look stupid? Yeah. Remember that? Quite a reversal, isn't it? Yes. Well, when you're on the wrong side of an issue, it's easy to make you look bad. So here's his response. Hey, you got any evidence that he's supporting terrorists? You got any evidence?

Well, not just the student. We're going to do more. In fact, every day now we're approving visa revocations. And if that visa led to a green card, the green card process as well. And here's why. It's very simple. When you apply to enter the United States and you get a visa, you are a guest. And you're coming as a student. You're coming as a tourist or what have you. And in it, you have to make certain assertions. And if you tell us when you apply for a visa, I'm coming to the... So he didn't have a visa. He had a... He's a legal resident. He had a green card. And so he's saying...

Uh, that if, so he's, he's at first of all, our guests don't have all the rights that you would have. So you're saying that, that if you're our guest and you're not a citizen yet, that you don't do. So here's what people miss. Freedom of speech is not a treat.

That we hand out to people we like. No, I just get it. Freedom of speech is a value that we protect, we cherish, and we try to spread to everyone everywhere. It's called a right because it don't come from the government. That's why they put that God crap in there. That's right. To let you know, the government...

Acknowledge it. Well, it's the bill. It's the amendments. It's the afterthoughts of the Constitution, but it's there. It's the Bill of Rights. Too late, assholes.

Yeah, it's it. So, again, it this whole thing of that freedom of speech isn't just something that we give as a treat to ourselves or to a treat we give to people we like. Freedom of speech is a value that we cherish, protect and try to spread to everyone everywhere. Why? Because that's who we are. That's our values.

Well, you thought that, but I mean, you think like a poor person. Okay, so here's what he's got more to say. U.S. to participate in pro-Hamas events. That runs counter to the foreign policy interest of the United States of America. You know who participated in pro-Hamas events? Benjamin Netanyahu funded them.

Did the guy do that? Did he do that? Or did he help make a sign that someone held up and someone didn't feel comfortable? Because I bet it's that one and not the other one. By the way, opposing the Israel bombing of Gaza is not inherently pro-Hamas. I'm not pro-Hamas. I gave up on Hamas in 2006. Yes, I'm not pro-Hamas.

But I said, hey, these guys are no good. But BB said we got to fund them for 20 years. That's right. Until they do a 9-11 on us that I can exploit because I'm about to be kicked out of office. That's exactly right. And we're all going to pretend it's not my fault and really all of our fault for running a goddamn concentration camp.

America. It's that simple. So you lied. You came if you had told us that you were going to do that, we never would have given you the visa. Now you're here. Now you do it. So you lied to us. You're out. It's that simple. But is there any evidence of a link to terrorism or is it just his point of view?

Yeah, they take over. It's just his point of view. Yeah. So there's points of view you're allowed to have and there's points of view you're not. People say, well, he was organizing violent protests. Well, they didn't charge him with that. Yeah, let's see the evidence. Don't tell me I should watch the clip that some Hasbro put up. Right.

I want to hear the legal charges. It's not like a bullshit me too, right? This is a real legal problem against – oh, he spoke bad about Israel and he's a guest. I thought our guests have rights that we have here. Especially a guest that has a green card.

I mean, you should watch the news. These guys take over entire buildings. They vandalize cops. If he took over an entire building, you would charge him with that. You would charge him with vandalism. You'd charge him with terrorism. You'd charge him with kidnapping. This reminds me of January 6th bullshit. That's exactly what this is.

Yeah. Wow. Everybody just went through that. I hope you're noticing the same thing they're doing to somebody. This is the most disappointing part of conservatives. But they're doing it just, they're doing it at the behest of a foreign country.

Well, no, our best friend and also, Jimmy, an aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier. Intensely. I'm asking about the specific justification for the revocation of his visa. Was there any evidence of material support for tourism? The specific individual was the negotiator. Negotiating on behalf of people that took over a campus, that vandalized buildings. Negotiating over what? That's a crime in and of itself, that they're involved in being the negotiator, the spokesperson, this, that, the other. Then why wouldn't you charge him with a crime? Right. Right.

Because it's not. He's being a bad guest, Jimmy. Because he doesn't because because he didn't commit a crime. By the way, he didn't do any of that stuff. You're just saying that. And I don't believe you. This is the same vehemence that Marco Rubio tells his wife he's not gay with. We don't want it. We don't need these people in our country that we never should have allowed him in in the

first place. If he had told us, I'm going over there and I'm going over there to become the spokesperson and one of the leaders of a movement that's going to turn one of your allegedly elite colleges upside down, people can't even go to school, library buildings being vandalized, we never would have let him in. We never would have let him in to begin with.

And now that he's doing it and he's here, he's going to leave. And so are others. And we're going to keep doing it. And by the way, I find it ironic that a lot of these people out there defending the First Amendment speech, alleged free speech rights of these Hamas sympathizers, they had no problem, okay, pressuring social media to censor American political speech. So I didn't, and I'm sympathizing with the guy. Yeah, I didn't do that. I sympathize with that guy, asshole, you closet case. That's right.

What a bad argument. That was a bad argument. I think it's ironic and hypocritical. But the bottom line is this. If you are in this country to promote Hamas, to promote terrorist organizations, to participate in vandalism, to participate in acts of rebellion and riots on campus, we never would have let you in if we had known that. And now that we know it, you're going to leave. Is it only pro-Palestinian people who are going to have their visas revoked or are other points of view as well?

No, I think anybody who's here in favor, we want to get rid of Trenadagua gang members. They're terrorists too. The president designated them, asked me to designate them. They did crimes. As a terrorist organization. They did crimes. We want to get rid of them as well. We don't want terrorists in America. I don't know how hard that is to understand. We don't want people in our country that are going to be committing crimes and undermining our national security. Again, he's just making all that up. He's not a terrorist. He's not charged with terrorism. He's not charged with a crime.

He's charged. Tell me how it's not gay if you're not in love with the guy now. He's charged with having the wrong opinion about Israel.

That's what he's charged with. Well, those are serious charges, Jimmy. Or the public safety. It's that simple. Especially people that are here as guests. That is what a visa is. I don't know what we've gotten it in our head that a visa is some sort of birthright. It is not. It is a visitor into our country. And if you violate the terms of your visitation, you are going to leave. Okay. I thought he had a green card. Is that a visa? I thought he was a legal resident, which is much different than a visa.

So he's lying on every part of this. And can you check and look at it? Did he have a, is he a legal resident? That's what I'm under. I thought, I can't believe that. I don't want Bibi Netanyahu being a guest here because he supported terrorists with money. That's right. With my money. That's right. With my money.

If you're against people who support terrorists coming here, you'd be against Benjamin Netanyahu coming here. They should stop doing his dry cleaning for him when he comes to the White House. You'd also be against the United States because we funded terrorists in Syria. We fund them all over the place. Afghanistan. Is Marnie Mica going to be kicked out because her dad was the George Martin of Al-Qaeda's Beatles? According to the New York Times, Mahmoud Khalil is a permanent legal resident of the United States. Permanent legal resident. That's not a visa. That's not a visa.

Okay, so Mahmoud Khalil's case is setting up an epic First Amendment battle with Trump. I can't believe Trump is guilty of the worst violation that I lived through ever. That's amazing to me. After all that crap the last 12 years? It says it right there. He's a permanent legal resident setting up a high-stakes legal battle between the First Amendment and what the government claims are its foreign policy powers.

He's a Columbia University graduate who became a leader of pro-Palestinian protests on the campus. He was arrested on March 8th by immigration agents. So you're not allowed to have... So they keep saying pro-Hamas. He's pro-Palestinian. The problem is he's anti-Israel. I never had any criticism of Israel until I watched them doing this now. Do you know that? I never looked into it. I would never want to know about it.

They're so egregious right now that I have to know about it. After his arrest, immigration officials said they were seeking to deport him under a provision of federal law that gives the U.S. Secretary of State the power to deport someone if their presence in the country is deemed to have, quote, potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States. And by the United States, they mean about 700 people.

Yeah, the adverse consequences, how about the adverse consequences of our foreign policy? Yes, the United States Constitution gives the President tremendous power over foreign affairs. The Trump administration is now trying to use the authority to dramatically expand its immigration powers and curtail rights for immigrants. They're

They're trying to read foreign policy and national security and national interests all very broadly. And this seems sort of on the piece that with that trying to now create essentially foreign policy authority to deport green card holders.

a co-director of the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at the University of California, Los Angeles, UCLA. The provision being cited in Khalil's case has rarely been used, and the scope of the Secretary of State's discretion is unclear, a Yale professor said. Courts have generally found that non-citizens such as Khalil, a legal permanent resident, have the same First Amendment protections that citizens do. So that's what courts have found.

have generally found. So the question in Khalil's case is how far those protections extend against a determination by the Secretary of State that a foreign national should be deported. The question in Khalil's case is, oh wait, the primary issue in this case, I think, that is going to be litigated is whether this is unconstitutional First Amendment retaliation. If the First Amendment means anything, it means that the government can't

lock you up or deport you because of your political views. That's literally the most important thing about this country. I would have to agree with that. I thought it was our friendship with Israel is our most important thing. I say the next big move, Donald Trump, is to start deporting anyone who agrees with a pro-Palestinian position, sending them back to whatever country 23andMe decides your heritage was.

That's illegal in Israel, which is illegal in Israel, by the way. You know, I did a test in Israel. Russ Dobular told me that and he was like, I have to check because I know it sounds crazy. Maybe I'm wrong. No, it's true. So Krishnan said that the provision Peruvia is relying on to pursue Khalil's immigration can't be used to override constitutional freedoms. Whatever the text of the statute says, it's subject to the First Amendment.

And the theory of the case that they're advancing here is astonishingly broad. Worse than anything the Wokies did. That's right.

Federal law also blocks the government from removing someone because of the alien's past, current, or expected belief statements or associations if such belief statements or associations would be lawful within the United States, unless the Secretary of State personally determines that the alien's admission would compromise a compelling United States foreign policy interest. That's Marco Rubio saying we, but he's the guy in charge of that.

In a legal filing on Thursday, Khalil's lawyer said it was obvious he was being punished for his viewpoint. Of course he is. I mean, that's obvious. If you didn't charge him with nothing, then you got nothing. Right. That means you got nothing. That means you're doing what they did to Trump. That's right. You're doing what they did to Trump. Wow. It didn't take long, did it?

Neither Secretary Rubio nor any other government official has alleged that Mr. Khalil has committed any crime or indeed broken any law whatsoever. The Rubio determination was exclusively motivated by Mr. Khalil's lawful, constitutionally protected past, current, and expected belief statements or associations.

Yeah, well, the more they do this, the more some again, I'm a guy. I always love to say this. I was I'm prejudiced against Muslims and Arabs. I would never listen to them. I'm a good person. Israel has turned a lot of people off from Israel a lot. So you don't have to break a law to be deported anymore. It's our new inconvenience of the narrative rule.

Thank you, everybody, as your involuntary world tour. Trump administration officials have not formally laid out the case for why they believe Khalil threatens the foreign policy interests of the United States. The White House told the outlet, the free press, that Khalil's arrest would be a blueprint for investigating other students. That's my top priority. Get people who say the word genocide at a student conference.

There's nothing worse than that, than somebody telling you a real genocide that happened to your face. That's terrorism.

So Rubio said this is not about free speech. This is about people that don't have a right to be in the United States to begin with. No, it isn't. He had a card. No, he does have a right. He does. Rubio told me, you pay all the money to these high priced schools that are supposed to be of great esteem and you can't even go to class. You're afraid to go to class because these lunatics are running around with covers on their faces.

Screaming terrifying things. If you told us that's what you intended to do when you came to America, we would have never let you in. If you do it once, you get in, we're going to revoke it and kick you out. But in fairness, Marco, BB wouldn't have told this guy his secret plans to do a false flag October 7th attack that he created himself to keep himself in power. How would this guy have known he was going to do that until the thing actually happened?

I just think that lunatics with covers on their faces, you mean like the thing that was mandatorily forced on us? Yeah. For like three years? You mean a face keeper? You must have been scared to death that whole time. Oh my God, they've got face yarmulkes on. Tom Holman, Donald Trump's border czar, suggested on Wednesday that Khalil had exceeded the protections of the First Amendment. When you are on campuses, I hear speech, freedom of speech, freedom of speech, freedom

Can you stand at a movie theater and yell fire? Yes, you can. If it's on fire, especially, you should. Can you slander free speech? Can you slander? Free speech has limitations. Yeah, but one of those limitations isn't about having a different, having a political opinion. That's not one of those limitations. You can be not supportive of Israel. I'm pretty sure that's allowed still. We're fighting against it, but I think it's allowed right now. So it seems like the...

Government is running headlong into Supreme Court precedent and right into the teeth of the First Amendment. Adam Cox, an immigration law professor at New York University, said that the government would probably meet skeptical judges if it argued that Khalil's speech was the basis for its decision to deport him. But he said if the government argued that it had non-speech basis for deporting Khalil, that could improve their chances of

Kicking him out of the country. Yeah. Khalil's lawyers would probably argue that such a rationale was pretextual, meaning concealing the government's actual intent. But courts might be reluctant to investigate such claims. If courts embrace the Trump administration's effort to justify removal on foreign policy grounds, it could have a profound effect.

If the government has an objective to promote fossil fuel use across the globe, for example, then the Secretary of State could deem climate science advocates or even non-citizens who own green technology firms to portable on the ground that their residency undermines the policy objective of promoting fossil fuels. We'll do that instead of this. Rather than the statute settling...

Rather than the statute setting the terms of deportability in advance, it would license the Secretary of State to turn nearly any activity into a basis for deportability after the fact. So...

Are you revoking visas for students who clearly support Hamas and shows literature that supports Hamas? Or does it also include students who support Palestine or the freedom of the Palestinians or show sympathy with civilians in Gaza? Is that area very clear? Well, what Secretary Rubio has been saying on a number of different interviews is that

that this is about if you were when you think about someone applying to come into the country to get a visa if you were to say everything that he was ended up doing as would be his goal upon entering the country we would never have issued the visa so you have a dynamic whereas if there's going to be certain kinds of actions that you're going to undertake again what actions again what actions what actions and by the way and this isn't about a visa

This is about a legal resident who the First Amendment protects. So now we're saying we only want certain political viewpoints in our country, which is the opposite of the whole oomph of the United States. That we don't accept that. Every...

country has a right to control its borders and to determine who's going to come into into the country. So in no one's saying you don't. Are we going to vote on this? Because I'm curious as to whether a vote would say we should do what Israel wants all the goddamn time. I bet it wouldn't. Particular instance. There's also, I know, a freedom of speech argument, but this is not about speech. It's about actions.

It's about things that were done. What actions? What actions? Oh, my God. What actions? What actions? You plan on saying? And why don't you charge him with a crime for those actions? And of course, I don't want to go further because. OK, of course you don't. So while the secretary, the deputy secretary of Homeland Security has asked how Khalil supported Hamas,

and admits outright that his crime is just basically pro-Palestinian activity. Here's the question. How did he support Hamas? Exactly what did he do? This is the question Kurt and I are asking. The Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security says, well, I think you can see it on TV, right? This is somebody that we've invited and allowed the student to come into the country, and he's put himself in the middle?

of the process of basically pro-Palestinian activity. Oh, that crime. Point to the law about that. Hey, you put yourself in the middle of basically pro-Palestinian activity. Wow, the Wokies have never said anything as retarded as they said the entire time that I can remember. Ever. Ever. This is real sinister, man. So the right...

That's right. You cannot have you cannot be foreign and have an opinion. I mean, you can barely have an opinion if you were born here. So you definitely are not allowed to have one if you're not born here. Well, he shouldn't get to have more opinions than I get to have. That is fair. I'm pretty sure I can have the opinion that I have right now that he's being deported for. So here they are, you know, arresting him. I don't want to. I don't want you. So here's the here is the ultimate. I wish I would have started with this.

So Anya Parampal says, in my book, Corporate Coup, Venezuela and the End of the U.S. Empire, it details the shady character of Trump's pick for Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. Did you know he fabricated his family history and once lived in one of Miami's most notorious cocaine dens, which his brother-in-law operated as a drug lord?

Well, I guessed it because it comes off like a gay cuckoo. Max Blumenthal says it is perfect that the task of defaming Mahmoud Khalil as a bad immigrant for opposing Israel has fallen to Marco Rubio, the Cuban-American suck-up who lied about his own family's immigration history and lived in his convicted drug-trafficking brother-in-law's Miami coke den. Isn't that interesting? Yeah, that is interesting. CIA connections, probably?

Yeah. Since it's coke being smuggled into the country on purpose. And so here's from the book. I'll read it. I'll read it for you. Aside from pathetic dishonesty, Rubio's character was tarnished by revelations that throughout the 1980s, his brother-in-law, Orlando Sicilia,

directed a $75 million cocaine smuggling ring out of his home in West Kendall, Florida. Cecilio was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to 35 years in prison in 1989, but released early in the year of 2000. Whoa. In his 2013 memoir, Rubio, who by then had featured Cecilia at numerous campaign events,

claimed that he was unaware of his brother-in-law's criminal activity and had been stunned by news of his arrest. Yet in 2016, investigation by the Miami New Times cast doubt on the senator's account, revealing that as a teenager, Marco Rubio had actually lived in the home at the center of Cecilia's drug operation.

For anyone to argue that teens of adults living at this time in Miami didn't know their family members were in the coke business is total horseshit, a former Miami-Dade detective told the publication as a response to Rubio's claims of ignorance. Though Rubio declined to comment on the story, it escalated.

earned him the nickname narco rubio among venezuelans including governor uh government officials whom the senator repeatedly accused of trafficking drugs the senator's most well-known moniker however was little marco an alias bestowed upon him by then candidate trump

during the 2016 presidential primary when the future president publicly modeled Rubio's affinity for high-heeled boots, an apparent product of his dearth of height. Wait, so him and DeSantis are both Cuban heels guys? Apparently. Wow, I gotta get that book. So anyway, so there you go. So...

I'm all for deporting terrorists. I'm all for deporting criminals. Narco's brother-in-law? Yeah. He personally should deport. Like Marco Rubio's brother-in-law, you would think, since he's in charge of that. He wasn't the only guest in this country, Narco. Yeah, he's a guest. That's a lot worse than getting in the middle of the Palestinian thing. But I'm a strong supporter and defender and advocate of the First Amendment.

And so if you're not, that looks bad on you. And again, the First Amendment isn't a treat that we give people. The First Amendment is a value that we cherish, we protect. It's a right. And we try to spread it to everybody everywhere. You know what a right means? Like liberty and democracy and freedom. All that stuff we pretend our foreign wars are for. Yeah. Yeah.

Like that. Like our Constitution. Like our Bill of Rights. Things we want to spread around the world. We don't want to hoard them. What they're saying is those rights transcend the law. That's why they say the God part is to recognize you just get that whether we make a dumb law or not. That's just some stuff you're supposed to get. Yeah. That's what a right is. That's how I look at it. And I feel very entitled to them. And you can't make a right that contradicts the Constitution.

And if you support a law that contradicts the Constitution, guess what that makes you? An American.

That makes you anti-American. I disagree. I think it's very American to be a suck-up punk that used to live with a drug lord and then demonstrate your worth as someone that will do or say anything, including marry a woman in the closet. Every grimy politician thing that they all do, what's more American than that? The only more American thing is keeping your head down and doing your job. That's right.

Now he's bombing. I've ordered the United States military to launch a decisive and powerful military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. Do you remember him running on that?

You remember him running on? I don't remember him running on. Hey, by the way, America or Greenland or this. I don't remember him saying, hey, if you elect me, I'm going to get us back into those Middle Eastern wars at the behest of Israel, because that's what this is. Also, one little note. They're not called Houthis and they're also the legitimate government of Yemen is voted for by their people and not the puppet state that's in one tiny corner of Yemen. They're not called Houthis. You know, so he's I didn't know that.

They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft and drones. OK, that's largely bullshit, but I'm going to explain it to you a second.

Joe Biden's response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going. It's been over a year since a U.S.-flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American warship to go through the Red Sea four months ago was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times, funded by Iran.

The Houthi thugs have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft and targeted our troops and allies. That's like, yeah, after after we bomb the shit out of them. You know, the biggest bombing campaign and wipe out of people was Yemen up until October 7th.

When right now, up until this most recent thing with the Palestinians, where they're ethnically cleansing and genociding them and just bombing all mostly women and children. It was Yemen. And that was us doing it. We were we were doing it with Saudi Arabia. OK, so, again, this is all about fossil fuels. That's what this is all about. Also, and about Israel and about greater Israel.

I don't know what the right name for the Houthis is because it's hard to say, but the Houthis, they pull off the first successful naval blockade in recorded history without having a navy. So anybody who knows their mythology knows the Ides of March are all about betrayal, right? And everyone who thought that Donald Trump was the anti-war president needs to realize that he is against the previous wars just so he could start his own. That's what this looks like.

Yeah, we're breaking up with our side piece, Ukraine, and getting back with our first wife, Israel. That's right.

It was fun while it lasted, baby. The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force, blah, blah, blah, the Chukdov, blah, blah, blah. Our brave fighters, blah, blah, blah. It's interfering with Israel. That's why they're doing it. That says exactly. To all the terrorists, your time is up. The terrorists. You mean the terrorists that we funded in Syria? You mean ISIS? You mean Al-Qaeda, the ones we invented?

You should check and make sure BB ain't funding the Houthis because he has a history of doing stuff like that. You mean like Hamas? You mean the ones that Benjamin Netanyahu funded? You mean those terrorists? So now all of a sudden, so that's the game. Just so you get it right.

The game is anybody that we want to bomb and kill, we just call them terrorists. Anybody we want to deport or we want to put in jail, we say you're a terrorist. That's how it works. Well, you know that guy they're deporting, they use the McCarthy era laws that are used on Jewish Holocaust survivors that were leftists to call them commies and deport them. So that's the irony. The only difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in this situation is that Donald Trump is aware that this is going on.

He doesn't have to have Tony Blinken do it. Right. So Yemen, here's some anti-war.com. U.S. airstrikes kills 53, including women and children. Trump officials are threatening more airstrikes as the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah. Oh, I can say that. I don't know why I thought of something. Yeah, I can remember. Ansar Allah, yeah. They're vowing to a response. Oh, looks like you kids are getting drafted to go to Sandyland after all. Looks like it.

So I just wanted to show you this. So Thomas Massey says the military industrial complex demands about $50 billion a year in war. As soon as we quit spending $50 billion a year in Afghanistan, we started spending $50 billion a year in Ukraine, just like I predicted. Watch where the next $50 billion a year goes when we stop spending it on Ukraine. The military industrial complex is always hungry.

Regarding U.S. activity in Yemen, I recently said to watch for a new military engagement to compensate for the pullback in Ukraine. The military industrial complex demands 50 billion a year from our government above and beyond what's necessary to defend our own country. So that there you Thomas about our best friend and also aircraft carrier. You ever had a friend slash aircraft carrier, did you? That's why you don't get it.

Glenn Greenwald says the U.S. has been bombing Yemen since George Bush 43. Obama massively escalated it by aiding the Saudi war there and bombing himself. Biden bombed the Houthis a thousand times in 2024 alone. So this idea that Trump is like they're attacking us. No, we've been bombing the hell out of the as usual.

Well, look, once the Greater Israel Project is done, then we can stop doing this stuff. Then we can stop doing this. So here, let me finish this. Biden bombed the Houthis a thousand times in 2024, all to protect Israel from its refusal to allow food and aid into Gaza, the reason the Houthis are attacking.

That's why that so the Houthis have a brotherhood with the people in Gaza who are being slaughtered because they were the previous ones being slaughtered by the U.S. war machine. That's why.

And so they haven't allied themselves with a greater colonial power like the others. And then they're just sitting there trying to be principled. So when they were assholes, so when they were so when they were starving the people of Gaza and slaughtering them, the Yemen people in Yemen said, hey, we're not going to allow your ships to go and do commerce with Israel as long as they're doing this slaughter. So that's where so that's where that comes from. So that that whole story Trump told you was made up.

It was all made up to make the United States a victim. We're not the victim. Of course, we're not the victim. Justin Amash says, I'll say it again. It is unconstitutional for President Trump to engage in acts of war in Yemen. It doesn't matter how appropriate you think it is for the United States to take on Houthis or terrorists or anyone. Congress has not authorized a war in Yemen. Engaging in war there is unlawful.

So after 9-11, they gave a blank check to any president who wants to do a war so Congress doesn't have to vote on it. So we didn't vote on the war in Libya. We didn't vote on the war in Syria. We didn't vote on the war in Ukraine. We didn't vote on bombing Yemen. We didn't vote on Somalia, the Sudan. We're not voting on any of this. And that's so nobody can be held accountable. That's what this is about. So...

Glenn Greenwald says this is how the D.C. war machine keeps the United States on a footing of endless war, ensuring the coffers of the arm industry are always full and its own authority always increasing. What Trump vowed to stop.

The doge cuts are nonsense, it turns out. It turns out. They're all distractions. And defacing Tesla cars about. It's a distraction. All they did was take the money from the thing that I guess the Hillary Satanist cabal wants to do what Bibi Netanyahu wants.

And they raised it $6 billion. So there's been no cuts. No cuts. It's all bullshit. There's been absolutely. That's right. So Trump endorsed raising the military budget, $6 billion. So all the cuts. So if we had, by the way, I want to say this to Glenn Greenwald. If we had to sit around and wait for congressional approval for every war that somebody comes up with, it would take at least another 45 minutes. Anyway, uh,

So this is from antiwar.com. A major round of U.S. airstrikes that hit Yemen on Saturday killed at least 53 people, including women and children. According to Yemen's Saba News Agency, at least five children and two women were among the dead. Another 98 were wounded by the U.S. bombing, and the health ministry said many of the casualties were civilians, while the United States is claiming it killed multiple leaders of Yemen's Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah.

Oh, yay. Yay. We're fighting terrorists. If you block SodaStream from being sold in the U.S., you got to go. Yeah. The United States is the world's terrorists. Jesus H. We bombed Yemen 1,000 times in 2024 alone. Okay? A total of 40 U.S. airstrikes were reported to hit Yemen, primarily focusing on the northern Sadr government. Strikes also hit the Yemeni capital.

Targets that were reported hit included power stations, residential areas and homes and some Houthi military sites. We love hitting residential areas because they don't shoot back and they make perfect locations to put new smart cities just like they do here.

Yeah. The strikes marked the first time the United States bombed Yemen under the new Trump administration. Hip, hip, hooray. Hip, hip, hooray. The Houthis announced on Sunday that they fired back with Yemeni military spokesmen saying the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman was targeted with 18 ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones. U.S. officials later told Reuters that the U.S. military downed 11 drones fired from Yemen and tracked one missile that failed in flight.

The leader of the Ansar Allah, or the Houthis, said that in response to the U.S. airstrikes, both military and commercial vessels in the region will now be targeted.

By Houthi missiles and drones. So this is President Trump ramping up a war for no reason. Well, no, there's a reason. I mean, for no reason that helps. The economy's hurting. Doesn't help the United States. Doesn't help our people. Doesn't help a worker. Or helping a friend doesn't help you. Doesn't help. Helping your best friend in the Middle East, our only friend. Our only friend. President Trump announced the start of the bombing campaign on Saturday and said the Houthis must stop their attacks on shipping and U.S. warships. However...

Ansar Allah hasn't targeted any ships in months since October.

It ceased attacks once a ceasefire deal was reached in Gaza back in January. Why is there always a nice little cherry on top of the Sunday in my mouth? So there it is. Oh, that's great. I love the... Hasanabi is kicked off Twitch for promoting the Houthis. And the Houthis haven't attacked anyone after a ceasefire deal. Yeah. Ha ha!

Ah, wow. Well, I'll give it to Hassan. I'll be smarter than Cenk ever was. So so again, that's all made up. Why? Trump is bombing Yemen right now. That's that that shows that's all made up. And we don't use real reasons to attack someone. We attack them. And when they attack us back in self-defense, we say they attacked us out of nowhere. We're like, you know, the obnoxious, you know,

women who try to get someone to punch them in the mall so they can sue them. Do all those murders you want and take all my money to do it. And why should I have any say in it? OK, but I don't want to ever hear about Putin ever again, about how bad Putin is. I mean, I know Trump and other U.S. officials are also justifying the strikes by framing them as a way to protect global shipping, although and here's the.

Part Trump won't tell you. Critics are pointing out that the Red Sea being shut down has a minimal impact on the United States.

What the media won't tell you is this shipping route is mainly used to get exports from Asia to Europe. Thomas Massey said on Twitter, its economic value to the United States is primarily in importing oil from the Middle East. But we can drill our own oil. Most U.S. imports from Asia come via the Pacific. What about Israel? Is he forgetting about Israel? He's forgetting about Israel. Of course he is.

During his previous administration, President Trump supported a brutal Saudi-United Arab Emirates war against the Houthis and used his veto power to kill legislation passed by Congress to end U.S. involvement in the conflict. Isn't that interesting? According to U.N. members, which are considered a low estimate, the U.S.-backed war killed 377,000 people.

Oh, Trump's also locked in with Saudis. Don't just blame it all on Israel. Don't forget the Saudis. Don't forget the Saudis. Don't focus on one. We are beholden to all kind of foreign power. And half of those people, half of the 400,000 people that we killed, half of them died of starvation. Okay. All right. But we're not the terrorists. Just so you know. We're not the... Someone else is.

The people in Yemen are the real bad guys on the global scale. The U.S.-backed Saudi war on Yemen involved a brutal blockade, a heavy bombing campaign, and a ground campaign. During that time, the Houthis only became a more capable fighting force. Oh, maybe we'll recruit them to work for America one day. So National Security Advisor Mike Waltz says all options are on the table in responding to Iran.

That's right, Mike. You're going to get us into a nuclear conflict to protect your pedo bosses one way or another, even if you have to kick the football yourself. All options for real? Like maybe Mike Walls can suck one of their dicks and settle this down.

Saudi Arabian television reports that Israel convinced the Trump administration to attack the Houthis in Yemen as a first step in military action against Iran. Oh, start doing pushups, kids. You're going to the final countdown to Iran. Get ready. Statement from Saudi Arabia.

Well, all options are always on the table with the president. But Iran needs to hear him loud and clear. It is completely unacceptable and it will be stopped. The level of support that they've been providing the Houthis. Sending a very clear message and the message is clear to Iran as well. And the president said it in his truth. Look at all the United States warships that are there.

USS Harry Truman, USS Sullivan's, USS Stout, USS Jason Dunham, USS. What in the F? What are we? I thought Trump was supposed to end that stuff. The Jason Statham, I thought it said. That's what I thought it said.

The USS Gettysburg is there. What are we doing? Well, here's my favorite part. We could not win a war with Iran. We haven't won a war with anybody in 80 years. I know.

So all this confidence is amazing. What jerk off would run out and sign up to go do that? I'll bet you they'll find a lot. Yes. Or support of the Houthis needs to hand end immediately. We will hold you accountable as the sponsor of this proxy. And I echo his statement. But, but our, but us bombing Yemen a thousand times. And then, uh, them, uh, uh,

abiding by the ceasefire that took place in January when Trump instituted. That's got nothing to do. So this is just, this is them finding a way to start a war with Iran. Well, that's all well and good, but where's all that Epstein stuff we were supposed to get? I mean, look, are you protecting Israel until after we kill all them people? We will not be nice about it. This is not the Biden administration. The message is clear. Biden administration bombed

Yemen a thousand times in 2024 alone. Until they got a ceasefire. And then they got a ceasefire. Well, I guess they're not being nice. I guess Pete, the crusader Hegseth is being correct. We will come after the Houthis until they stop shooting at our ships and the Iranians better stay out of it. Put this in context for me. So they did stop shooting at our ships. This is just you doing the bidding of Saudi Arabia now and Israel.

Yeah. Doesn't it bother Iran? How do we get to it? Yeah. How do we how can we get to Iran? That's exactly what this is. Yeah. So maybe a submarine goes down. Maybe it doesn't come up. Oh, wait. How do we get to war with Iran? That's what he said. How do we get to war with Iran? How do we get to war with Iran? There's got to be a way. U.S. intelligence has been suggesting for some time that Israel is

Iranians have supported the Houthis. They've provided them intelligence. They've provided them guidance. They've provided them weaponry. I mean, there's no way the Houthis, okay, the Houthis,

would have the ability to do this kind of thing unless they had support from Iran. And so this was a message to Iran. Don't keep supporting them because then you will also be responsible for what they are doing in attacking Navy ships and attacking global shipping. So this is how we get to war in Iran. Finally, new Lindsey Graham is doing his job. And now, yep.

Middle East Lindsey Graham is telling it like it is. That's right. Russia tells the United States to stop bombing Houthis. After Trump's first major strikes on Yemen's Houthis, killing at least 31 militants, Russia is now demanding the United States halt its military action and push for talks instead.

Lavrov told Secretary Rubio that force should stop immediately while Washington has warned Iran to stop backing the Houthis. This is how we get to war with Iran.

Meanwhile, every dumb shit liberal is worried about Elon Musk's doge cuts that are not even going to happen. They're not worried about this. They're not even going to happen. I mean, USAID, great. The money doesn't go to them. It's going to go in the war machine. You should be complaining about Rubio, who I thought was under control, but I forgot they're all under control. They're all under control. That's right. Here's how we get to... Here's at the Washington Institute.

for Middle East policy. So what he said a couple years ago is what's happening right now. Watch this. I frankly think that crisis initiation is really tough. Crisis initiation is really tough. And it's very hard for me to see how the United States president can get us to war with Iran. It's really hard. We've got to get to war with Iran, but it's really hard for me to see how a president's going to pull this off. Well, they found this is how they're doing it. Listen to what he says.

Which leads me to conclude that if, in fact, compromise is not company, that the traditional way of America gets to war is what would be best for U.S. interests. Some people might think that Mr. Roosevelt wanted to get us into World War II, as David mentioned. You may recall we had to wait for Pearl Harbor. Some people might think Mr. Wilson wanted to get us into World War I. You may recall he had to wait for the Lusitania episode.

Some people might think that Mr. Johnson wanted to send troops to Vietnam. You may recall he had to wait for the Gulf of Tonkin episode. I like how he says he had to wait for it. We made it up. We didn't go to war with Spain until the USS, until the Maine exploded. And may I point out that Mr. Lincoln did not feel he could call out the Federal Army until Fort Sumter was attacked, which is why he ordered the commander at Fort Sumter to do exactly that thing, which the South Carolinians had said would cause an attack.

So if, in fact, the Iranians aren't going to compromise, it would be best if somebody else started the war. One can combine other means of pressure with sanctions. I mentioned that explosion on August 17th. We could step up the pressure. I mean, look, people, Iranian submarines periodically go down. Someday one of them might not come up. Who would know why?

We can do a variety of things if we wish to increase the pressure. I'm not advocating. So there you go. Here's a. So I just played that that Pat Clawson guy here is. Here's another guy telling you years ahead of time what's happening right now. And Trump is the guy doing it. He said, but one thing we did learn, he said, we learned that we can use our military in the region, in the Middle East, and the Soviets won't stop us.

He said, and we've got about five or 10 years to clean up those old Soviet client regimes, Syria, Iran, Iraq, before the next great superpower comes on to challenge us. And it was like, you know, I'm coming out of the Mojave Desert.

I've been training troops. I haven't been thinking geostrategy for some time. And suddenly a guy just sort of shoves this nugget at you. Well, you remember it. It was a pretty stunning thing. You mean the purpose of the military is to start wars and change governments? It's not to sort of deter conflict? We're going to invade countries? And, you know, my mind was spinning. And I put that aside. It was like a nugget that you hold on to. This country...

was taken over by a group of people with a policy coup. Wolfowitz and Cheney and Rumsfeld and you could name a half dozen other collaborators from the Project for a New American Century. They wanted us to destabilize the Middle East, turn it upside down, make it under our control. It went back to those comments in 1991. Now, did anybody ever tell you that?

Was there a national dialogue on this? Did senators and congressmen stand up and denounce this plan? Was there a full-fledged American debate on it? Absolutely not. And there still isn't. And that's why we're failing in Iraq. Because Iran and Syria know about the plan. So there you go. By the way, the last time we fought a war in Iraq...

Iran won the war and they weren't even in the goddamn war. That's right. That's how bad we are. That's how bad we are. So, you know, Trump is turning out to be just like Joe Biden when it comes to the Middle East. I guess your money's not going to be wasted on Ukraine. It'll be wasted on Bibi Netanyahu's bucket list. It's going to be wasted on Saudi Arabia and Bibi Netanyahu's bucket list, which is Iran. Yeah. And your kids are still going to go die for this crap, too. Yeah. Wait till they start sending your kids to die for it.

I mean, Zelensky said your kids have to, but again, Ukraine's our side check. We're talking about our wife, Israel. That's right. Hey, we've all been told that aging is just a natural process. Aches and pains, thinning hair, wrinkled skin, brittle nails. But what if I told you that the rate at which we age isn't just about time, it's also about what we're consuming?

For decades, the FDA has allowed toxic chemicals, preservatives, and artificial ingredients into our food supply, things that are banned in other countries. These toxins disrupt our hormones, weaken our bones, accelerate aging, and wreak havoc on our skin and hair. But there's something you can do about it.

One of the best ways to fight back against this damage is by giving your body the nutrients it truly needs, nutrients that the modern diet is sorely lacking.

Lack of access to safe drinking water. And man, it's amazing how bad the water is in America. People I used to think anyway. And the resultant spread of infectious diseases that kills at least 1.4 million people annually. Hey, so what do you think then?

So what is your take then on RFK? Because his whole thing was taken on Big Pharma to the point where people think he's a kook, even though in 2008 Barack Obama was considering him to be the head of the EPA. He was such an environmental champion. He cleaned up the Hudson and he sued all the chemical companies. He won. He sued Big Pharma and he won and he lost his reputation for it.

But now his whole thing is cleaning up the water supply, the food supply and getting and getting corruption. What did you did you see any hope there? Well, it's an admirable goal. I mean, you're right about water. And of course, all these poor kids who have lead poisoning in cities like Detroit from the water.

So he's right about that. And you're right. He was a very courageous and successful environmental lawyer. And Big Pharma is a monster. You know, they buy patents and then jack the price up by a thousand percent.

They, of course, are shoving all sorts of drugs. I mean, you know, we know, we know that when they get a new drug, they'll just invent a disease to sell it to us. You can go on CNN. I mean, I don't watch CNN, but I put it on in the car because I love the commercials. It's all for like people going bankrupt or people who need some kind of drug I've never heard of or some kind of disease I've never heard of that has like all sorts of side effects right up to, you know,

approaching mortality. So yeah, big pharma's... I have no trust or sympathy for big pharma. That's part of the whole for-profit healthcare system, which is extractive. I mean, it's awful.

So let's skip ahead a little bit. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is well above the 350 parts per million. That was considered to be the breaking point, but we've been past that for a long time. That's right. And the people who used to tell me about that, like John Kerry and Barack Obama and Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, they keep buying beachfront property.

And they keep flying around the world in private jets. And so it's hard for me. I'm questioning it now. I was a diehard climate change guy. And after Russiagate,

After the Ukraine war, after the Syrian gas attacks, and especially after COVID, which was the biggest, I can't say what it was, pulled on America and the world. You know, a virus created by our own government, funded by our own tax dollars, and then which it wasn't.

I don't want to get into it, but I question it. Am I crazy to question the climate? Because I see how all the medical journals are now infected with big pharma money, so they suppress. I mean, look what they did to ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Miracle drugs.

And they made them sound like they were poison and horse paste and fish tank cleaner. And meanwhile, they're saving billions of lives every day, safer than Tylenol. So I see how I mean, I got into it with the editor of the British Medical Journal and I exposed him for being at the under the thumb of big pharma. It wasn't hard to do because I was able to do it. I'm not a genius.

So after after I saw how absolutely corrupt the medical system is from top to bottom to where they can in where they can intimidate my local doctor and my local pharmacy, I don't.

I'm quite put it this way. I'm at least questioning. I know the people who scream the loudest about climate change don't believe it. So what do you say? Are you skeptical at all? I do worry about climate change, but I'm with you on Russiagate, obviously. I mean, that's how I lost my job at the website Truthdig, both Bob Shearer and I, because

We challenged that fictitious narrative that Trump was a Russian asset and all this kind of stuff. And so all the well-heeled friends in Malibu and Malibu, what's the, is it Malibu? Is that in California? That's it. Malibu at our little club didn't like her anymore. So we were gone. The publisher, the,

No, I'm with you on all that. But on climate change, yeah, I worry. But you're also right that everything's been bought off. I mean, you have, you know, look, I live not far from Princeton University and you have BP funding the climate science program.

And so what are they doing? They're doing junk science. They're doing geoengineering and all. So you're right. This big money has infected the pharmaceutical industry, the health industry, everything. And all these environmental groups have been bought off too. Yes. So I won't get into animal agriculture, but animal agriculture is –

as pernicious contributor to global warming as a fossil fuel industry, but big ag buys it up. You can't, "I'm a vegan because of that." So yeah, you're right. The whole system is essentially dominated by these corporate oligarchic interests and their interests are not our interests.
