(00:04):
Who are these people? Who are these people?
Hi everybody. It's Andy and I got reef here
because it's Sunday and it's howdo we miss that?
And this is what we do Sunday nights and I'm glad you guys are
hanging out with us. Thank you to everyone who is

(00:25):
good to see everyone. It's been a hell of a week.
Just it's a Sunday. Is it who?
Who is that? Did somebody break into our live
stream? Just a just a fucking lady.
Oh fuck, it's a Sunday. Oh OK, I did not realize.

(00:49):
Ah, that's that might be why virtual cable on and let's maybe
that might be why it was so damnloud.
That's a little better. OK, so we are here to do some
stories. Well, actually, yes to hops down
in Australia. It's fucking Monday, cunts.
That's right because he's in Australia.

(01:09):
So he's actually 12 hours ahead of us or 13 something like that.
But yeah, this is any news network and you haven't seen
nearly as much of us as I guess usual because Reese been off
with Colin. Well, Reese went off having
vacationing. Colin was in the UK and now he's

(01:31):
back. So we're excited to get INN news
going next on Wednesday night, right.
So that'll that'll be back. Yeah, we also have got we've
been doing one on ones in the meantime.
So if you've seen my one on oneswith descent and bloom, those
have been those have been great.We also did a rewind stream.

(01:54):
I think I think that was basically all the weeks that
that you guys were gone. So we had something covered for
everyone to watch. And we did a killer Jesse killer
Jesse thing on Sunday night. On Friday night we did a covers
and there were some amazing cover songs in there.
So if you have not checked out American Tradition clip show, do

(02:18):
that on Rumble on YouTube. I'm going to be publishing the
replay over at INN newsletter and there's a playlist for those
clip show concerts. It's it's great.
And then, yeah, tomorrow, tonight after this, we're going
to be going uncensored, uncensored, uncensored.
So boat smashing in on the boats.

(02:41):
We're going to be doing no YouTube.
Basically uncensored means no YouTube.
So we'll be doing some, some different stuff that we, we
can't do on YouTube because they'll whack us for it.
So we'll be everywhere else. We'll be on INN newsletter.
We'll be on Rumble primarily, you know, we'll be on Rumble
primarily on the, on the Ocho onRumble.

(03:02):
So that's rumble.com/C/INN 8, the Ocho and we'll drop the link
in before the show starts. And I, we can't even redirect
because it's not within YouTube.So that's interesting, but yeah,
this is our, you know, the last Sunday of every month as an
uncensored boats. So reef curates a bunch of stuff

(03:24):
that he can't show the other three weeks or 4 weeks in this
case. So we saved it all up for
tonight. In the meantime, I've got some
horrific news because it's Sunday night and that's what we
see here. Unfortunately, you know, most
people cover the distraction news and the drama news and we
kind of cover the stuff that nobody else really wants to talk

(03:47):
about. But it's really important to be
talked about. We're going to talk about
criminalizing homelessness and it's they talked about it a
little bit this week because of what Trump wanted to pass.
We're going to get into that where we got a pretty long fuck
Israel segment again this week, just like we did last week,
because they are advancing theirquote UN quote final solution

(04:09):
and we're seeing exter extermination in real time,
starvation in real time. Well, you have Zio bots all over
the place denying it all over sub stack and Twitter and blue
sky going. There's nobody starving.
That's all Hamas. Hamas is preventing is, is
preventing the food from gettingto the people, let alone the

(04:32):
Gaza Hell Foundation, whatever they call that crap.
And the idea of firing at people.
And I've got a whistleblower admitting that that yes, they
were, they were fucking doing itthe whole time.
Of course they were. And then and then we're going to
talk about some crypto and Epstein.
Like a lot of people talk about Epstein, but not a lot of people

(04:52):
talk about Epstein and crypto. So we're going to talk about
that. And a journalist captured and
arrested by ICE, an American citizen journalist captured and
arrested and imprisoned by ICE. And a lot of people have not
really heard about that. But that scares the shit out of
me because it's, it's coming. And then we've got a lightning

(05:16):
rod, lightning round, lightning round.
And then we will get 2 boats. So we got a lot to get to.
Let's do it all right, before wedo, before you can, let me, let
me hit this one. Hook us up if you can because we
are user funded. Take care of the independent
media that you want to see support it.
Ways to do that are a cash app, dollar sign.

(05:36):
Indian News Network. Natalie Williams hooked us up
there this week. co-fee.com/indian News Network.
We got a couple of them this week.
PayPal dot me slash Indian News Network.
Margaret Villa hooked us up withone of those this week.
Thank you so much, indynews.now.com.
And I am so sorry, but Lisa Ayasi, thank you.
Really thank you because you actually contributed directly

(05:59):
through Indy news.now.com. So bless you for that.
Thank you for showing me it works and for doing that.
I didn't get an alert, but I went back and I looked, I'm
like, oh crap, look at thank you.
That's what we want you to do Thank you.
And then finally the newsletters, INN newsletter.com,
where we'll be streaming boats later and we put out a week
daily and a weekly update. And indymediatoday.com where we

(06:22):
are live right now and got another new monthly subscriber
there. Actually, yeah, monthly.
It was Descent in Bloom, who we're going to cover her story
tonight. Really appreciate her support.
And an INN newsletter. We did get a new supporter this
week, Shirley Cooper. You see her added to the board.
Shirley, you can't be serious. I am.
And but do call her Shirley. And thank you, Shirley, for

(06:44):
supporting independent media. So it was a heck of a week.
Thank you, everyone. Really, it's it that's nice and
we could use a few more of thosesupported Independent media,
again, corporate media is absolute dog shit.
We've had a couple of people saysome really nice things about us
and the integrity that we bring here and the fact that we really
work hard to pick stories and not follow the algorithm and not

(07:07):
chase drama and not fill this with crap that we're not going
to look back on a year from now and be like, Nah, I'm not so
sure about that. So again, thank you for helping
us do all of that. So first story I wanted to get
to is Descent and Bloom. As I mentioned, the newest
subscriber to Indymedia today. Again, friend of mine, thank

(07:30):
you, really appreciate that. She wrote an article on this
week and she just kind of threw it out there on, I don't know,
it was a Friday morning and I had to invest here and be like,
God damn, you like, how do you do this?
Like, she's making videos, she'swriting a whole bunch of
articles, she's working, she's momming, she's doing, and then
she put something like this together.

(07:52):
The government can now lock you up for being poor, sick or
addicted. They're not fixing homelessness.
They're disappearing the people who remind them it exists,
right? And this is the theme that we've
been talking about for a long time.
We talked about criminalizing homelessness, a conversation
with Keith McHenry right about last year.
You know, that's one of the conversations I'm most proud of,

(08:15):
Co founder of Food Not Bombs, about the homelessness problem
specifically in California and how he's seen it explode
everywhere basically since COVIDstarted.
So this is again a worrisome thing because I feel like they
are pricing a lot of people out of being able to even afford a

(08:35):
home. There's a lot more people that
are living out of their cars from what I've been hearing.
And now they're doing this, which is the the Trump thing
that he signed to get them off the streets, whatever that that
means, right, right. I mean, so she says as as the
month stumbles toward its end does the so does the illusion of

(08:58):
rights in a nation that swore itwas free.
On July 24th, Trump put a permanent marker to paper and
signed an executive order that gave the federal government
permission to vanish. The people we already try not to
see, the people on the sidewalk,the people muttering to
themselves in the library bathroom, the ones holding
cardboard cardboard signs outside of Starbucks.

(09:22):
The people that this country failed long before it decided to
criminalize their suffering. Like his previous executive
orders, this one also came verseto convince you that he's doing
this for you. It's called it called the
unhoused a threat, not because of what they've done, but
because of who they are. People without shelter, people

(09:42):
with addictions, people with mental health diagnosis people.
People who scare the rich just by existing.
This isn't about services. It isn't about care.
It's about removal. It's about creating a country
where people don't have to look at poverty so they can pretend
it doesn't exist. And if they do see it, they'll

(10:03):
only see it from the outside of a cop car window or a closed
psychiatric ward. This is not reform.
It's authoritarianism one O 1. This executive order is a shiny,
bureaucratic way of saying we'reabout to lock people up and mass
under the illusion of help. And what she ends up doing is

(10:25):
bringing a historical perspective here.
She says, let's talk about what this order really says.
They'll tell you it's to help people.
But once you read the order, yourealize it's not that.
It's not that at all. It reads like a plan for care,
but acts like a road map for disappearance behind the
promises of treatment and safety.

(10:47):
It's a policy built to detain, punish and erase.
Buried in the order, of course, is a term with a long and bitter
history. Civil commitment.
It sounds neutral, almost clinical, but what it really
means is that the government canlock someone away in an
institution without a crime, without a trial, and without

(11:10):
their consent. If a person is homeless, if they
have a mental health condition, if someone decides they can't
care for themselves, that's all it takes.
No jury, no defense, just a signature and a cell.
The language used is vague enough to stretch around almost

(11:30):
anyone, a risk to themselves or others.
We've heard that term used before.
Unable to care for themselves, those phrases have been used
before. They've been used to justify
locking up dissidents, to disappear people that are
inconvenient, and to make the suffering vanish without dealing

(11:52):
what caught with what caused it in the first place.
Their language is flexible by design, soft enough to sound
compassionate, ambiguous enough to be weaponized.
And the order doesn't stop there.
It doesn't offer housing. It doesn't offer services.
What it does offer is more arrests, more crackdowns on

(12:14):
loitering, squatting, sitting still for too long in a public
place in the name of safety. It makes existing without money
a punishable act. It criminalizes the poor, not
the poverty. And while it does all this, it
reaches for something even more dangerous.

(12:36):
It allows the government access to people's health information.
The programs that still offer help will now be expected to
collect data. And guess who gets that data?
It explicit? Yep.
It explicitly names mental health records, addiction
histories, medical diagnosis. And once collected, that

(12:59):
information can be shared with police, federal agents,
prosecutors, whoever needs to file to justify taking someone
off the street. But it doesn't stop at a
clipboard or a local case file. That data won't just sit in a
drawer somewhere. Under previous executive orders

(13:20):
this year, agencies were told toshare what they gather not just
across departments, but entire across entire systems.
What starts in a HUD program could end up in a federal crime
database. What what you say to a work?
A social worker could quietly travel through the software,

(13:41):
through software built for war, because behind the scenes,
there's something else at play like Reef, said Palantir, The
tech company that built Gotham and Foundries, which are the 2
operating systems that our intelligence and law enforcement
runs on, has spent years designing platforms link and

(14:03):
analyze enormous amounts of information from completely
different sources. I mean, we're talking about
police records, medical records,surveillance footage, social
media posts, case notes, purchase histories, and even
travel logs. All of it mapped and sticked,
stitched together by machine learning.

(14:24):
It was built for battlefield intelligence.
I remember the the thing in what's what's the Batman movie
where like Morgan Freeman, he makes Morgan Freeman look at all
the like. Yeah, The Dark Knight.
No, it's even more than that. It's even more than that.
Because you might be able to seethat there's a figure in there,

(14:45):
but you don't know who it is andtheir medical history and access
to everything about them. You just know that there's four
figures in the building. This is even more depth because
it would literally be able to use cameras in the room to be
able to tell you who's in there,their heat signature, their
heart rhythm, to literally identify every single person on

(15:05):
earth and be able to target them.
Because everybody has flaws and everybody has things that they
would be embarrassed by and could be used against them.
To continue with Trump's directive to unify and share
data between agencies. That's what's being created.
You know it. What's being created is a

(15:25):
nationwide nervous system, a real time feed of the country's
most vulnerable people, constantly updated and
monitored. Not just the database.
A weaponized brain. Imagine if the Soviet Union had
a supercomputer that can flag you from being mentally ill, or
for being unhoused for visiting the wrong clinic too many times.

(15:49):
I think they actually like dealtwith their homelessness problem
a lot better than we did, and a lot of that, but I could be
wrong. Imagine if it could suggest that
you be committed or detained or quietly removed.
Imagine if Orwell's telescreens didn't just watch you, but

(16:10):
predicted what you'd do next. And that's what Palantir is
doing. That's not science fiction
anymore. It's public policy in America
2025. It it's pre crime predictive
programming and predictive crime.
Who would run these facilities? Let's.
Guess talked a bunch about that too.
He sure has, all right, and check that out at

(16:35):
unlimitedhangout.com. But as as dissent in blue masks,
who would run these facilities? Well, the executive order is
written as intentionally ambiguous regarding how these
facilities would operate. It lists that these detainees
would be sent to appropriate facilities and gives examples
such as treatment centers and housing and support networks

(16:59):
without distinctly specifying The Who, what, when, or where.
And that's not on accident. It does, however, specify that
these individuals would be sent to private housing and support
networks. Private contractors, not
government employees, not subject to public information

(17:21):
laws, not subject to FOIA requests.
This leaves these facilities able to operate in the shadows,
all while running off with your tax dollars.
Could it possibly be GEO Group and Core Civic, The same beast
behind 99% of the immigration processing centers in the US?

(17:41):
This is their domain. See, not only do these companies
make money from private prisons and immigration processing
centers, they also own and operate places that fit into
this executive order just a little too perfectly.
And they've been expanding theirprivate detention network over
the last several months. In 2025, they brought in some of

(18:06):
their largest federal contracts to date.
Under the Trump administration, GEO Group owns residential RE
entry centers and mental health treatment centers.
Under the BI Incorporated subsidiary, Core CIVIC already
owns and operates re entry programs and secure psychiatry

(18:29):
units. Right.
And openly advertises its ability to partner with
governments for rehabilitation and behavioral health
management. Now I'd like to remind you that
this very same Trump administration, GEO Group and
Core Civic are actively being lobbied for and funded in 2024.
OK, they spent a ton of money. GEO Group alone spent between 2

(18:53):
and 3,000,000 supporting Trump and and Republicans.
So who could have guessed that private prisons would benefit
the most from an authoritarian government?
Who could have possibly seen this coming, tongue firmly
planted in cheek? Just remember that this isn't
about compassion. It's about making city safer.

(19:15):
It's about control. It's about cleaning up the
sidewalks without ever looking anyone in the eye.
It's about making the margins disappear so the rest of the
country doesn't have to feel uncomfortable.
This isn't policy. It's a quiet perch, a legal
blueprint to turn human suffering into a public nuisance

(19:35):
and sweep it away. Now she also brings a story from
the Soviet Union, which I'm going to skip through because
she also talks about Nazi Germany.
And not only did she do a a piece on this, but she also did
a TikTok. And I thought I had the TikTok
here and now I lost it. So let me see if I can't find it

(19:57):
real quick, dammit. I'm sorry, everyone, we'll do it
live, right. Thank you for the do it live
thing. But but tic tac toe.
Oh, winner. There we go.
I was waiting for that. Where is it?

(20:19):
Acteon for Acteon. Acteon.
She sent me something about thatyesterday.
Where is it? We're getting close, folks.
I'm just scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.
I can go write it and we'll do it live.
Lot of conversation, folks. Sorry.

(20:41):
We'll do it live. Fuck it.
That's right. All right.
Yeah. No, no, no, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
not seeing it. Damn it, damn it, damn it.
Oh, sorry, sorry. Nope.
So let's just go back and read it real quick.
Nazi Germany did this before, with a program called Action T4

(21:06):
Octeon. Long before the world understood
the full scale of Nazi brutality, the regime tested its
power on those least able to resist.
Not in the camps, not with soldiers, but quietly through
hospitals and clinics. It started with a program called
Action T4. In 1939, the Nazi government
announced that it would begin transferring people with severe

(21:28):
disabilities to receive what they called specialized medical
care. Does this sound familiar?
The public was told this was about mercy.
They said the nation could no longer afford to care for people
with incurable illnesses. The language was clean,
technical and reassuring. But what it masked was a
systematic program to murder 10sof thousands of people deemed

(21:50):
unworthy of life. The first to die were children
with developmental delays. Then came adults with
schizophrenia, epilepsy or physical impairments, elderly
people with dementia, patients with mental illness.
Anyone who couldn't work was seen as a burden on the state.
The government labeled them useless eaters and sent them to

(22:12):
die in gas chambers disguised asshowers or through forced
starvation, overdoses and neglect.
There's a boy with Downs, boys with Down syndrome held near
Dachau. Doctors became gatekeepers for
the regime. Psychiatrists signed off on
extermination orders. Families were often told that

(22:35):
their loved ones had died of pneumonia and were maled urns
filled with ashes that likely belong to someone else entirely.
There were no trials or right todefend yourself.
There were just quiet disappearances with bureaucratic
paperwork and forged death certificates.
Action T4 was not a rogue experiment.

(22:55):
It was a government program withoffices, payrolls and logistics
team teams. It involved over 100
institutions across Germany and Austria.
It was the first time the Nazis used gas chambers.
It was also the test case for for public reaction when the
backlash was limited. The regime knew it could go

(23:18):
further. After 1941, the program finally
ended officially, but the killing didn't stop.
The infrastructure and personnelthat made Action T4 possible
were later redirected to the extermination camps.
The logic that justified those early murders, those that some

(23:42):
lives were too costly, too damaged, too inconvenient, would
go on to shape the Holocaust itself.
OK, she says. Today, when governments talk
about shifting people with mental illness or addiction into
institutions for their own good,we have to ask what that really
means. When vague standards like a
danger to themselves or others become the threshold for

(24:05):
detention, we need to understandwhere that path can lead.
And when treatment becomes compulsory and privacy becomes
optional, we're not building systems of care.
We're building systems of control.
The control, the digital controlgrid, as Catherine Austin Fitz
very famously refers it to to itas.

(24:26):
And in a country already building camps like Alligator
Auschwitz, it isn't a red flag. It's a three alarm fucking fire.
So I'm going to duplicate this tab and then I'm going to go to
this video because I just got the link for it so we can watch
the TikTok that's on mute. Disability and as a result, his
parents had a letter to the government asking for relief.

(24:47):
And this made it sway all the way to the head of the
government at the time, whose name I cannot say now.
What did he do? He sent his personal physician
to go and examine this baby who actually gave it a lethal
injection of medication causing it to unfortunately pass away.
And the parents were told it wasquote UN quote for the best.
And from there that set a precedent.
That's what started action for it wasn't long after that the

(25:09):
hospitals were mandated to report children with physical
and mental disabilities to the government at birth.
And these children were taken from the families and sent to
specialized institutions where they would be provided with
better care. They didn't really have a say in
the matter. Now, these children were killed
in masks in gas chambers and this actually preluded the
camps. And then the following year,
this expanded to adults. And this didn't just include

(25:29):
physical and mental disabilities.
This included mental health issues as well.
So people in asylums, people with schizophrenia, epilepsy,
with any kind of mental health issues would be loaded up onto
these Gray buses where they would be taken from these
asylums to these killing centers.
There were six mandated killing centers.
They looked like hospitals, but then they would take them into
showers where they would be killed.
It took about 20 minutes at a time.

(25:49):
And then they would be burned onsite and on site ovens while
they were actively burning. These staff members would laugh
and joke and play accordion and party and have fun like it was
just another Tuesday. Now, of course, after a while,
families were like, hey, what the hell?
Why are all of these people, allof our families, dying from the
exact same thing, like pneumoniain July?
Like this isn't adding up. So after a while, because they
were in war and they didn't wantinner turmoil, they stopped.

(26:13):
But really, they just found other ways to continue the
killing until after the war. Jesus.
OK, so so there's that. All right.
And so to continue, her final thoughts said that Action T4 did
not begin with mass murder. It began with paperwork, vague

(26:36):
diagnosis, and public indifference.
What many forget is that the Nazis modeled much of their
ideology on American eugenics policy, borrowing language and
laws from US sterilization programs that targeted the poor,
disabled and mentally ill. The Supreme Court once called
these sterilizations constitutional, declaring that

(26:58):
three generations of imbeciles are enough.
Oh my God, the same. That same cold logic survives
today in the architecture of ourimmigration system, where
migrants are detained without charges, where ICE raids tear
families apart, and where asylumseekers are sent to prisons for
daring to flee violence. The same immigration system that

(27:20):
forcibly sterilized immigrants during Trump's first
administration. It lives in Trump's latest
executive order OK, which allowspeople to be institutionalized
without trial, criminalizes poverty, and turns health
records into tools of surveillance.
This is not some new idea. It's an old and familiar

(27:42):
playbook dressed in modern language and powered by modern
technology. If the Nazis had Palantir, they
would have used it. If the Soviets had predictive
algorithms, they would have fed the Fed them dissenters,
probably. I mean, most authoritarian
governments do. What we're building now is a

(28:04):
system that doesn't need to ask why someone is poor or sick.
It only needs to decide that they should not be seen.
And once that decision is made, there are no limits to what the
state can justify. That's fucking frightening.
All right. And support independent media.
Support our friend Descent in Bloom.

(28:25):
He supports INN. And here you go.
One of the first things Hitler did was make unemployment
illegal. Everything going on in the US
smells like defeated, inhuman Stencher fascism.
Yeah, sure. And along that line, I brought

(28:47):
from Jen, Jen Budd, who again, is a whistleblower from Customs
and Border Patrol. She says look for private,
private Prison Corps, GEO Group and others to get in the game of
housing the homeless and institutionalizing those with
mental illness. And I just pointed out that
criminalizing homeless and in homelessness and enslaving them

(29:09):
in a prison population seems to be the long term plan.
What? That's what Keith McHenry of
Food Not Bombs has been saying for years.
He feeds the homeless. They've been demonized and more
people are being squeezed and priced out of the current
system. They're structuring things so
that these people will have nowhere to go and they'll and
that they, they, there won't be anywhere to go that they

(29:31):
wouldn't be considered a criminal.
From sleeping in their cars to tents in the woods without a
permit or on a sidewalk because they have nowhere else to sleep,
or a park bench because they've made that illegal, too.
Billions are being thrown at a problem that only seems to be
getting worse. OK, yeah.

(29:52):
The economic model of the futurerelies on making money from
holding people in custody, not about building anything,
creating anything. Bronze Age, industrial age and
now human captivity age. So by all means, check out my
want, my most recent one-on-one with that author.
Dissent in bloom. We're going to I think we're

(30:12):
planning on doing a one-on-one an AMA where there'll be a live
stream Tuesday night. We're around starting at 10
Eastern and everyone here in theaudience can ask her questions.
That is right now. I believe in the plans Hashtag
food not bombs. Yeah.
Love our friend Keith. Keith McHenry.

(30:33):
Much love to Keith. So, yeah, that's, that's, that's
not great. What, you know, hope everybody's
got the, the ability to, to figure out how to support
themselves. I mean, that's they're, they're
coming for anyone that can't. And we may have to get creative

(30:54):
and build a safety net in some way, shape or form to be able to
help those who are unable to help themselves.
Right here. Lone Star Viz over on Rumble
Round up the filthy little peasants.
Get them out of sight and out ofmind.
Yes. That's pretty much exactly what
Trump and all these fuckers are saying.
Right after reading. After reading, I determined that

(31:16):
they should just call this Operation St.
Sweeper. Not a bad name.
But that's actually true. To on right away to on brand and
draconian because that maybe. Yeah, and it's just it
bureaucratic fuckery. Yes.
Natalie Williams. Thank you.

(31:37):
Yeah. Love my Monica Perez, but she
was giving Trump the benefit of the doubt in terms of being a
diddler on Weezy's show yesterday.
There's no doubt. No gross.
We're going to we're going to talk about that.
We we got some stuff on that. Yeah.
Vicki talking about Monsanto, Bayer.
All right. And yeah, love everyone being

(31:57):
here. Good.
Good to see everyone in over in chat before we continue.
If you're able to at a means, please support the media you
want to see. INN is solely user funded and we
really rely on tips and monthly subscriptions from people just
like you. Everyone who has done that is
already up on that board if you want to join them.

(32:42):
you can still see us there. And then we've got the sub

Newsletter near you. Holy crap, Bam, we're going to
talk about that in a second. I can wax on Rachel and Stephen
Shitlib Colbert Indie media today.
By the way, we're live. We're live at indie media today.

(33:04):
Hello to everybody at indie Media today.
Sorry, I have not been checking on the chat over there for the
18 people who've checked in. Raymond Kohlberg, Thank you.
Good to see you. You've been hanging out every
week. Lisa Tyree.
Hi, Harps. Harps, my cunt father, who's
everywhere. Good to see you.
Michael Ginsburg out down, down under.

(33:24):
Harps and Ginsburg. You guys should get together and
and, and have have a have a Fosters.
I know nobody in Australia drinks Fosters just making a
joke there. But yeah, this is we we've got a
now it's time for raging about Israel.
Everybody ready? Everybody ready?
Because there's a lot to say. Fuck Israel about this week,

(33:46):
boy. OK, let's what happened over
here? Hey, you're not supposed to see
that. No, no.
Whoa, OK. You broke it.
I sure did. Anti war news.
Dave Dekamp, Indy Media award honoree, inaugural class

(34:08):
publishes the other day. Israeli Knesset passes non
binding resolution calling for the annexation of the West Bank.
This was the big game. This was why they backed backed.
Trump specifically was that he basically said that he would
allow them without pushback to annex the West Bank.
And now it's happening. The motion passed in a vote of

(34:30):
71 to 13. There's no Hamas in the West
Bank. So how?
But what about the hearts? Yeah, the Israeli Knesset on
Wednesday passed a non binding resolution that calls for the
annexation of the occupied West Bank, a symbolic show of support

(34:51):
for the total takeover the Palestinian territory.
The motion passed 7113 with two opposition parties in the 120
seat Knesset boycotting the vote.
The resolution received the support of all 60 lawmakers who
are part of the current government.
What a surprise, as well as members of the United Torah
Judaism, Noam and Israel Betae new parties.

(35:16):
I don't even know who these parties are.
The resolution states that the declaration would make it clear
to the world that Israel will not accept solutions that
involve dangerous territorial concessions and that it is
committed to its future as a secure Nazi Jewish state.

(35:37):
You mean? Yeah, that's that's not.
State, yeah. You know, a religious
dictatorship where they have supremacy over everybody else?
Yeah, no, it says that Judea andSamaria fuck you for even using
the biblical terms, that the biblical name for the West Bank
fuck you in your Bible is an inseparable part of the

(35:59):
historical homeland, the Jewish people.
So then why the fuck have you continued to give it up all
these years and allow people again?
It's where that's where you've been squeezing people.
You. So now the last vestiges of
where you've allowed them to survive and exist, now you're
mad that they live there too? Fuck off following the vote now,

(36:24):
said Speaker Amir Ohana, a primea member of Prime Minister
Benjamin. Fuck off Netanyahu's Likud war
criminal party. Ohana.
OK, claim that Jews cannot be considered occupiers of the
Palestinian territory. Jews are everywhere, asshole.

(36:45):
The European settlers that live there are certainly occupiers of
the Palestinian territory, you fucking lying douchebag.
This is our land. This is our land.
This is our home. Prove it.
Fuck. Oh, the land of Israel belongs
to the people of Israel, of which you are not one, because

(37:07):
you are a Kazarian European. In 1967, the occupation did not
begin. Do we see DNA evidence?
Show me DNA evidence. I mean, it's, it's, it's beyond
infuriating. In 1967, the occupation didn't

(37:28):
begin. They're saying it ended and our
homeland was returned to its rightful owners.
How about no, we are the original first natives of this
piece of land. Jews cannot be the occupier of a
land that for 3000 years has been called Judea.
Except it wasn't. It was called fucking Palestine.

(37:48):
It was called Palestine. Look at fucking Raiders of the
Lost Ark. Look at every map and
encyclopedia for 100 fucking years before World War 2,
asshole. It wasn't called Judea.
While the resolution is symbolic, it comes as the
Israeli government has been working to advance settlements
in the West Bank and as Jewish settlers have been increasing

(38:12):
violent attacks against Palestinians with the goal of
driving them from their land. The current Israeli government
has prioritized the expansion ofsettlements since it came into
power at the end of December 2022.
Huh. Right about the time that it
started ramping up killings of Palestinians and then looked the
other way on October 7th as the wall.

(38:33):
The most watched wall in the history of watched walls just
somehow ended up not watched at all.
Amazing how that just happened, right?
Wouldn't have been a Hannibal directive or anything
afterwards, OK. Earlier this month, all the
Likud ministers in the government urged the war
criminal Netanyahu to annex the territory, citing support from

(38:58):
the Trump administration. Like we said, it was Miriam
Andelson that bought off the Trump administration and and the
Trump campaign for the right to be able to do this.
Quote, the strategic partnershipbacking in support of the US
President Donald Trump have madeit a a propitious time to move

(39:19):
forward with it now propitious. Yeah.
And and ensure that Israel's security for generations.
I don't think so. You take that and every other
Arab nation starts attacking I or shall we?
We expect so far it has not happened and going after Syria
was a good part of that. Right now, there would only

(39:42):
basically be a response from Iran because there's no more
Iraq left, there's no more Syrialeft.
There's a Saudi Arabia that's heavily US aligned, there's a
UAE that's heavily US aligned, there's a Qatar that's heavily
US aligned right there. You think about the region,
there's Turkey that's heavily NATO aligned and all of a sudden

(40:06):
it's like there's Russia isn't going to do it either,
especially on behalf of an Arab nation.
No, China is not there either. Like.
They've already signed a thing that stated that even if Iran
gets attacked, that they're not necessarily required to step in
and and defend Iran like an Article 5 NATO treaty is like,

(40:26):
that was two months ago. They signed that, but we got a
long way to go. Shout out to 2024 Indy media
honoree D Censored News, one of the best outlets out there.
Go follow them over on Twitter, over on Substack, over on D
censor dot news. Also, as they continue to starve
and exterminate the Palestiniansin Gaza, Israel is concentrating

(40:50):
the remaining population into even smaller camps.
Concentrating into camps? I think I heard that somewhere
before. Where we where we heard that
before? More than 86% of Gaza is under
displacement orders and militarized zones, says the
International Organization for Migration.
That's a division of the UN. No place is safe, they write.

(41:15):
This is their animation. Watch this shit.
Watch this shit right here. This is just from March. 18th
placement orders in Gaza. This is from March 18th through
July 16th, and look at the numbers of displaced people go

(41:38):
up. It's already over six figures.
This is by the end of March. All these red zones are cleansed
ethnically. Oh, here we go.
This is just the beginning. It's going to get well, that was

(41:58):
the big one when they moved the line in that.
Was the big one. Now you got 725,000 displaced on
July 16th. That's where the line was at the
end right there, OK. Everyone that was in that big

(42:20):
area now just can live in these Gray areas maybe, and then
they're shot at when they're walking for food and water.
I mean, this feels like old infotoo because there's now like
that line's gotten even smaller recently so that.
Was that was 11 days ago. Yes, they continue to

(42:43):
concentrate I. Mean you're, you're also talking
about like where, where can you grow food here?
No weight. And it's like not in those Gray,
Gray areas, like, you know, so and they barely could grow food
already in the areas they were at.

(43:03):
So, you know, this is this is what a genocide looks like,
Starvation and siege warfare. And they're not.
On a entire population. And of course, they're not
allowed to fish, right? There was an order put that
they're not allowed to fish. Thank you. 7 Signs sold over on
Substack for mentioning that Where is Dan Cohen?
On captured news. Dan Cohen is, is an Indie Media

(43:25):
Award honoree for sure. Same shit they did in Haiti.
I, I sort of, sort of, yeah, there's plenty of dance.
Dan's been covering this too, but I got a bunch of other stuff
tonight. Mondo Weiss and and other Indie
Media Award honorees as well. Dan's on the list.
He's he's up there. So, so this is where they've

(43:49):
literally allowed all the peoplethat are left to live and then
they're going to clear them out of there too.
And then best basically the whole thing will end up red.
And that's when they bring they,they bring the fences in and
they hide this area from everybody.
And that's where they bring in all the construction trucks and
they start rebuilding on top of the bones.

(44:10):
And that's when the Gaza reconstruction plan, yes, they
had food before these fuckers came.
They had olive Groves which wereburned to the ground by Israel.
You're absolutely right, Vicki. They ain't getting water or
unbound land to farm. Absolutely right, Fred.

(44:31):
And keep in mind how much land before October 7th has been
fucking taken. Like, you know, since the Nakba.
Most you know. Right, the scent and Bloom
quote, the aid sites are all areas they've been told to go.
Then they shoot at them when they go.
And I think we've covered that acouple times already on the
show. All right, Bondo Weiss.

(44:55):
So this is another one. I wanted to talk about the New
York Times, and we hate The New York Times here, obviously, but
I don't think that people quite realize just the level of
Zionist trash that The New York Times is and the reason why they
are so biased, Bondowei said. An incredible deep dive recently

(45:18):
into the leadership of the New York Times, pointing.
Out New York Times. Oh, sorry.
Well, that's what Christina P used to call them a long time
ago. By the way, the New York Times
has helped to enable and sustainIsrael's ongoing genocide, or at
least whitewash it in the publicpress.
A new dossier reveals the close ties of 20 top editors,

(45:40):
executives and journalists at the Times who've covered Gaza
and their connection to Israel and Zionism and whitewashed it
the entire time. All right.
Sons serving in the I/O F ties to Zionist lobbying groups of
think tanks living in a stolen house, or has lived in a stolen

(46:01):
house in Israel themselves, or three of them who actually
served in the IOF themselves. We are putting the New York
Times on notice. Since the Zionist genocide in
Gaza began over 20 months ago, the paper of record has run
cover for Israel's war crimes. We've witnessed the Zionist

(46:23):
entity dropped 2000 LB bombs on displaced Palestinians forced to
survive in tents, massacre starving Palestinians at aid
sites, arrest and torture Palestinians accused of fighting
back or administering care, Destroy Gaza's entire healthcare
system. Obliterate almost every one of
its schools and universities, damage over 90% of its

(46:45):
residential buildings, and blockfood and supplies from entering
the besieged strip, despite whatthe fuck they decide to claim on
wherever yesterday. But the New York Times
journalists have chosen to ignore, whitewash, distort, or
justify each one of these crimes, which we've brought a
lot of here. As much as any weapons

(47:08):
manufacturer, The New York Timesis a part of the machinery of
war, producing in the realm of public opinion the impunity that
enables and sustains Israel's ongoing genocide.
When we first occupied the lobbyof the New York Times in
November of 2023, we called out the Times refusal to historicize

(47:28):
the AL Aqsa flood within the context of Israel's over 7
decade long occupation of Palestine and it's choice to
frame the Israeli military's bombardment of Gaza as a
targeted war against Hamas. We demanded that the Times tell
the truth. We printed our own paper, The
New York War Crimes, which contain the names of Palestinian

(47:52):
martyrs recorded at the time. It took us over an hour just to
read the names of martyrs under the age of 1.
We called our audience. We called on our audiences to
boycott the Times, to divest their time, trust and attention
from the paper, and to unsubscribe from its quote UN
quote news, games and recipes. That includes Wordle.

(48:16):
Fuck Wordle. We are not the first wire.
Cutter. Yep.
We are not the first to point out the New York Times
commitment to Zionism. The dossier we released this
month was built on the investigative work of outlets
and organizations including The Electronic Intifada, Mondo
Weiss, The Intercept, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, and

(48:40):
Palestinian writers who've exposed this fraudulence of the
paper of record for decades. Since October 7th, 2023, such
critiques have accrued both new audiences and new urgency.
Data tracking word choices across The Newsroom as well as
leaks of the Times editorial directives, events, anti

(49:04):
Palestinian bias, Times headlinecorrections have been a favorite
discursive tool of the PalestinePalestine Solidarity Moment
movement. Alan McLeod and Asal Rod fixed
headlines almost daily to revealthe revisionism, to set the
record straight, to tell the truth.

(49:26):
Our dossier adds to this body ofknowledge.
It exposes 20 high-ranking editors, executives and
journalists who cover the war onGaza and have ties to the
Zionist state, further undermining the Times unearned
prestige. Nate Natan Odenheimer served in
the Maglan special forces commando unit of the Israeli

(49:48):
occupation forces. Now that he's a Jerusalem
correspondent for the Times, he writes about and embeds with his
former brothers in arms, I mean murderers in arms.
How can we ever expect someone to report on the occupation
correctly when he wore the occupiers uniform for four
years? Isabel Kirchner is the mother of

(50:12):
two former IOF soldiers and the wife of another.
After his tour, Kirchner's husband went on to direct an
Israeli think tanks program on information strategy, a
department tasked with shaping apositive image of Israel in the
media. You mean brainwashing and
propaganda? We don't have to ask how this.

(50:35):
Daniella Weiss would want him todo.
We don't ask how this relationship.
Brainwashed people. Yes, she and she belongs in
prison. Like it worse than that?
All right, we don't have to ask how this relationship shapes her
coverage. Kirschner has cited her
husband's think tank over 100 times since she started writing

(50:58):
for the Times in 2007. Our dossier, which lays bare the
material connections and historical allegiances of
editors, executives and influential writers to Zionism,
clearly demonstrates that the Times is compromised.
The entire institution is systematically organized to
protect Israel from international accountability.

(51:21):
It's interesting that Barry Weiss left there because it
seems tailor made for her now. So maybe she left because she
accomplished. The Assad toady, right?
Right. Maybe she she left because she
accomplished her goal of leavingit for that level of Zionism and
starting her own independent quote UN quote Zionist funded

(51:42):
outlet that's VC funded and housed on Substack called The
Repress which is fucking hilarious and the biggest troll
ever while they lie about beheaded babies and and rapes on
October 7th. Still the time support
Palestine, you better the time support of Zionism and the

(52:07):
settler states. Colonial Miss Mission across the
region is deeply embedded in thepaper's history.
I am Rosenthal, head of the Times newsroom for nearly two
decades, was praised at his funeral for showing that it was
possible to love Israel every bit as much as to love our own
country. You mean to be a traitor to your

(52:27):
own country? Max Frankel, executive editor of
the Times for over 10 years, admitted that he wrote from a
pro Israel perspective and said he was expected to stand up for
Israel. Whether they're right or wrong,
fuck Israel. So how is that OK?

(52:49):
That's cheerleading. That's not journalism.
What? The Times has condemned our
research as a vile campaign in the press, but refuses to accept
that Israel's killing of over 200 Palestinian journalists has
been targeted. We regret ever calling the
martyr Hossam Shabbat, the colleague of elite journalists

(53:09):
who write their propaganda from stolen homes and occupied
Jerusalem. Those who serve in the I/O F who
get paid by the Israel lobby to spew hasbara are not the
colleagues of Palestine's bravest.
They are their enemies. The paper's response to our
dossier? This deploys the same tortured

(53:31):
logic present in its coverage. How can we?
How can our research be both public knowledge and inaccurate?
We know why the Times has been silent on the killing of media
workers. Palestinian journalists expose
the same truth the paper seeks to obscure.
They're constantly charged with being biased and unable to

(53:53):
report objectively because they're Palestinian.
Their identity is the ultimate accusation.
But in the times, fairness invades the Palestinians and
their struggle to live free is unrighteous, unjust and worthy
of condemnation. While Israel can do whatever
they want to do to stop them from that struggle, the New York

(54:18):
they're. Freedom fighters, you know.
The New York Times doesn't recognize Palestine, and editor
of the Times once told the Palestinian intellectual Ibrahim
Abu Lokhod. Abu Lukhod responded.
Well, Palestine doesn't recognize the New York Times
either. His refusal to acknowledge the
Times 37 years ago is an invitation to undercut its

(54:42):
prestige. Everyone should heed his call
and boycott, divest, and unsubscribe from the paper of
record. And I don't know too many people
here who do. If you do cancel that shit, to
imagine a free Palestine within our lifetimes, it helps to
imagine a world without the New York fucking Times.

(55:04):
Fuck the New York Times, and fuck Israel.
So here's more proof that what'sbeen happening has been
happening. Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
whistleblower exposes aid massacres.
And this was out of the dissident.
OK, the dissident is an Inn Co founder.

(55:25):
Actually, he pulled this out of a couple piece couple places
like Middle East I, Israel's GHFOK, which had set up four fake a
distribution sites in Gaza guarded by US mercenary security
firms. Safe Reach Solutions and UG
Solutions has been used as a quote UN quote death trap for

(55:46):
Palestinians starved by the Israeli blockade.
We've talked about this before, OK, More than 1000 Palestinians
killed by Israeli forces while trying to access food and water.
Now an American military contractor who is Guardian aid
site has come forward to his to Israel's Channel 12 and blown

(56:07):
the whistle on Israel's use of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
for massacres. I thought they were, they were
denying that and that was on Israel TV, he stated in the
interview. Quote, I'm a career veteran in
the United States Army who's been deployed to combat 12 times
in four different wars. I have never in my entire

(56:28):
military career been a part of allowed or bystander to use to
the use of force of against unarmed innocent civilians.
And I'm not going to do it now. Too late.
Referring to the GHF, he said there's no fixing this.
This needs to be put in and there needs to be a put an end
to it. There needs to be an end put to
it. The UN was already distributing

(56:51):
food beforehand easily and well,and Israel stopped that because
they were distributing food easily and well.
They wanted to starve the Palestinian people and that's
what's happening. So this whistle blower recounted
a story of a GHF guard spraying an entire bottle of pepper spray

(57:13):
into an unarmed Palestinian civilians face when he was
desperately picking up food. They it was a man who was on the
ground. He was on his hands and knees
and he was picking up noodles. The UG security personnel wanted
to get the Palestinians off the site.
They started yelling, hey, let'sgo, let's leave.
The guy wasn't armed, he wasn't a threat.

(57:35):
So this UG contractor sprayed anentire can of pepper spray into
the guy's face. That's lethal.
He also recounted Aug contractorkilling a Palestinian woman with
a stun grenade. Standing, saying I was standing
next to these two women, women, and this contractor threw this
stun grenade and it landed between me and them.

(57:56):
This thing hit us and she just dropped, just lifeless,
collapsed to the ground and it looked like she'd been killed.
He also told the outlet that thesites were deliberately set up
in areas that force Palestiniansinto dangerous areas of Gaza in
order to reach them. Why would they do that?
He said, Quote, the IDF engineers built the sites and

(58:20):
decided where they would be. In reality, the sites put the
population at great disadvantageand in great danger.
The sites were not set up in locations, nor were they set up
in a way that was conducive to delivering and distributing
humanitarian aid to a needy population.
That to be is the biggest indictment at all of all.

(58:40):
Like that's what they were supposed to be doing there.
The Palestinians couldn't have vehicles.
They couldn't have cars. They were on foot.
Most of them don't even have fucking shoes.
There's no water going through active war zone areas because
they wanted them to be killed. He also said that US mercenaries
have been shooting at Palestinians once they reach the

(59:02):
aid sites, which we've also beenreporting on claiming.
And he said here, quote, as the Palestinians were finishing
getting the aid that was on the site, the UG Solutions personnel
began shooting in their direction, shooting at them,
shooting at their feet, trying to get them to leave like you
see in the movies, like, like inthe old Wild West, ha, get out
of here, Pew, Pew, Pew. Like it's a big fucking game.

(59:25):
They're having a good old time. He finished the interview
saying, quote, if the UN method had the amount of support and
security that and coordination that GHF is getting, then the UN
process would be very successful.
Any links to the video here? Really important that this is
documented and documented on Israeli fucking TV.

(59:50):
I'm not playing because I don't want to get taken down from the
copyright. But we've got more.
Yeah, a lot of people like to bring Carrie Wetler.
There's. More.
But wait, there's more fuckery. Carrie Wetler.
Pleasure to burn. I love her stuff and people like
her videos. She's clever and she's
hilarious, but she also writes really good stuff.

(01:00:14):
And a lot of people wouldn't bring this one, but I wanted to
specifically because I knew a lot of people wouldn't.
But it's really good. She says this is a path that
Palantir linked. Executives are helping to launch
a new propaganda film venture, framing it as an all American
counter to Hollywood. But so far, it's nothing more
than imperial agitprop. And it's also laundering

(01:00:38):
genocide in in Gaza. You know, Hollywood has had
quite a bit of pushback, but nowhe's reporting on this and and
this was the other day on the 24th on on Thursday.
Palantir linked tech executives are reportedly helping raise
funds for a film production company that intends to make pro

(01:01:00):
U.S. government movies, according to a new article from
Semaphore this week. Founders films and remember who
who owns the founders fund guy named Pete a Dallas based
production company is entering the culture war to fight for
American nationalism and exceptionalism.

(01:01:20):
The new companies backed by founding Palantir chief
technology officer officer DianeSankar who recently joined the
army as a Lieutenant Colonel with several other big tech
executives. This new detachment 2O one was
reportedly. Crazy.
Bonkers. It was reportedly Sankar's idea.

(01:01:42):
Sit down. Insane.
The tech Bros got Lieutenant Colonel fucking commissions.
They just gave them some stripes, dude.
Here you go. Here's your stripes.
Other backers. Fucking shit show we're in.
Other backers include a former head of business development for
Palantir, Ryan Podolski, an investment an investor,

(01:02:04):
Christian Garrett. Garrett's firm is invested in
government contractor companies like SpaceX, Palantir, and
Anderill. Anderill is currently wearing
out working on AI drone warfare for the military and was just
granted an effective monopoly via the big beautiful bill on
supplying the autonomous surveillance towers to US
Customs and Border Protection. That's not good.

(01:02:27):
These three men are reportedly raising money for the new film
endeavor. For context, Palantir again is a
politically is a politically entrenched software AI and data
analysis corporation that was partially funded early on by In
Q Tel, which is the CIA's investment wing.
They were implicated in Snowden's 2013 releases and have

(01:02:50):
contracts with numerous U.S. government agencies, including
the Pentagon, CDC, ICE, and the IRS by way of the Department of
Government efficiency. How convenient.
They recently came under extensive scrutiny from the Fuck
you New York Times OK and they reported that they were helping

(01:03:11):
Trump compile A centralized database on Americans, which the
company vehemently denied as they were doing it.
Palantir founder Co founder Peter Thiel and his associates
have extensive ties to the current administration.
However, they also ties to the CIA and in QTO.
However, as with many nefarious political arrangements,

(01:03:34):
Palantir's government profiteering is not limited to
Republican administrations. Further, Palantir provides
services to governments outside the US, remember and recently
brought the AI driven Project Maven, which it built for the
Pentagon, to NATO. So they're expanding their
footprint. And I'm pretty sure also I'm

(01:03:56):
directly involved with like where's Daddy and Lavender over
there in Israel, so. A guerrilla roll war against the
status quo, right? According to an in depth article
Thankar posted on his sub stack link this year late last year,

(01:04:18):
that the Palantir CTO believes there must be a heroic challenge
to the status quo that dominatesHollywood films.
Why? This aligns with the recent
Founders Films pitch deck obtained by Semaphore.
In it, the new company decries the current state of affairs.
Quote the American brand is broken, Hollywood is AWOL.

(01:04:41):
Movies have become more ideological, more cautious and
less entertaining. Large segments of American and
international viewers are underserved.
Production costs have soared andsales are flagging.
This is just, this just screams to me, this is like the liberals
have taken over Hollywood. So we're going to make our own

(01:05:04):
conservative pro American version, right?
We're going to make Hollywood great again.
But you can be sure that they'realso going to try to make Israel
great again. Further, in this 2024 article,
Sankar accurately points out that films are a form of soft
power, highlighting that governments have an interest in
exporting their cultures to craft a positive image around

(01:05:27):
the world. Yes, they also do predictive
programming and they embed with the military and intelligence
and they bleed out stories in advance to, again, predict, you
know, to let people kind of understand of what what's about
to happen and go, hey, I saw a movie about this.
And that way they're much more willing to accept it when it

(01:05:47):
does happen. He frames the communist Chinese
regime as an arch nemesis of theUnited States, opining that
America is in the middle of ColdWar Two against a communist
enemy with more people, more money, and more military might
than the Soviets ever had. Well, that's correct, but not

(01:06:09):
nothing else in that statement, is he?
Predictably. I only liked Hollywood when it
made movies like Sound of the South.
That's what I bring back my movies.
I guarantee you that's what we're like.
What? What wasn't the other?
Was it Goebbels or whatever thatwas?
Like we we got to do Nazi videos, Nazi movies?

(01:06:33):
Goebbels was the whole thing. On that which one was that?
I think that was Goebbels. Yeah.
Of course, in his version of reality, something like that,
America is the good guy standingagainst oppressors and evil
doers who seek to subjugate the world.
This is rich coming from the CTOof a company.
Yeah, but this is literally coming from the CTO of a company

(01:06:54):
helping multiple government agencies surveil the public more
efficiently. On one hand, Sankar correctly
identifies government's efforts to exert soft power to influence
their world, the world in their favor.
The Chinese government does exert immense influence over
Hollywood studios whose leaders are willing to bend the knee to

(01:07:15):
the Chinese government in exchange for access to Chinese
audiences. The NBA did the same thing, by
the way. However, the Palantir CT OS
apparent answer to this Foundersfilms embodies pervasive and
outdated ideologies and ways of thinking.
He espouses a false dichotomy that paints the US as the

(01:07:35):
world's moral authority. Accordingly, Founders Films
wants to make films that promoteAmerican exceptionalism.
Good luck. You mean American lies in
reality, The Chinese government is undeniably in reality OK.
The Chinese government is undeniably oppressive and
corrupt, but the US government is not its freedom loving

(01:07:58):
counterpart. Rather than seeking to produce
thought provoking films that explore true freedom and and
sincere skepticism of governmentand authority, Founders Films
appears on track to produce traditional right wing flavored
pro government propaganda, according to said before the
production slate includes films about the 9/11 terror attacks.

(01:08:22):
Hope it blames Israel, but it won't.
Terror. OK, the Trump administration's
2020 assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani as a
good thing. Soleimani.
Oh God. The botched US withdrawal from
Afghanistan under Joe Biden, Democrats can't do anything
right. You mean under the timetable

(01:08:43):
that that Trump had set with arbitrarily the Chinese spy
operation? Weather balloon the movie.
Right seeking to upend America'sposition as the dominant global
power. Bro this is this is comical.
Fucking awful. And then whitewashing and, and,

(01:09:07):
you know, bragging about the recent US Israeli air strikes
that claimed to take out the Iranian regime's nuclear program
but didn't, of course. Starring Jerry Seinfeld in his
new. Role to to complete the pro
government propaganda. The studio also plans to make a
new version of Atlas Shrugged. Of course they're going to

(01:09:30):
repackage and Rand. Of course we got to fucking and
Rand it up. We got to.
This choice rounds out the current right wing narrative,
the age-old elevation of American exceptionalism,
militarism, and government authority under the cover of
libertarian anti government government anti authoritarian
values. In reality, military

(01:09:52):
industrialism and empire are anything but libertarian, so
she. Says fucking days.
Libertarians will figure it the fuck out too, but till then, you
know. Ignorance is strength.
Well, now we're getting into inksot language, OK.
The new ventures focus on American militarism and

(01:10:14):
exceptionalism perfectly highlights the false dichotomy.
Thank our paints as Cold War 2, as evil, quote UN quote as the
Chinese regime may be, and I disagree with carry on how evil
they are. the US military is no stranger to is no stranger to
abuses and atrocities. For one, American militarism and

(01:10:35):
exceptionalism have led to decades of wars that are often
based on lies. As Julian Assange famously said,
these wars have contributed to amassive national debt on the
backs of regular Americans, not to mention the immense toll on
soldiers fighting these endless wars.
Not to mention the opportunity cost of things we could have

(01:10:56):
been doing with that money and time.
Instead, nobody ever talks aboutwhat's been sacrificed that way,
the advances in technology that weren't for military gain.
More explicitly, U.S. troops andthose who command them have
committed grave inhumanities. A sampling of morally egregious

(01:11:18):
acts includes the Myla, the Mylai massacre in Vietnam,
torture in Afghanistan, ongoing air right, ongoing air strikes
that have killed countless civilians, Obama's drone
program, the use of depleted uranium, the use of depleted
uranium, and turning a blind eyeto child sex abuse in

(01:11:39):
Afghanistan and everywhere else for that matter, it appears.
Still irradiated by the way. It appears the success of the
new film company rests on the mental gymnastics Orwell once
described. The nationalist not only does
not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own

(01:11:59):
side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing
about them. Sounds like Israel.
Despite Sankar's stated desire to challenge the status quo, his
vision and that of founders films are aligned with the
establishment. Indeed, Sankar refuses refers to
Top Gun as an American ideal film.

(01:12:21):
You mean the gay anthem? Oh my God.
As it happens, Top Gun is 1 of countless movies directly
influenced by the US government.The Pentagon enjoyed say over
the film script. They The Pentagon enjoyed say
over the film script in exchangefor consulting and providing
equipment to make the movie morerealistic.

(01:12:44):
The 2022 sequel Pentagon. Yeah, that those guys.
Pentagon almost certainly had the same military influence.
The sequel. OK, the original 1986 film.
It also reflects the power of cinema in shaping people's
opinions and perceptions. It provided a small but

(01:13:04):
significant boost to naval recruitments.
And I know people that definitely join the military
because of Top Gun, right? So she says the long standing
relationship between Hollywood and the US government, which
encompasses not just the Pentagon but agencies like CIA
and the FBI, has produced inarguably pro pro government

(01:13:26):
films. All of them are pro government.
They're not allowed to be made. Look at Transformers Jesus
Christ, the film products of this.
Relationship every everything that uses any military fucking
equipment ever. Yep, is fucking propaganda shit.
So which the other half of Hollywood is just propaganda?

(01:13:49):
So you know one of the two. Hey, Petty Match.
The film products of this relationship reinforce the same
image of the American governmentthat the Palantir Link
production company seeks to boost.
Unsurprisingly, right wing culture warriors rarely decry
this flavor of Hollywood propaganda.

(01:14:10):
It's unclear whether founders films will seek a similar
relationship with government agencies, but it wouldn't be
surprising. Actually, it would be the most
obvious thing that I can imagine.
All right. And of course, outcomes are
greater than intentions. Far from being a true challenge
to oppressive ideological influence, Founders Films is on

(01:14:32):
track to reinforce the same pro government narratives, culture
wars, false left right dichotomyand polarization that have long
plagued media, politics and society at large.
While Sankar may be correct thatHollywood has rolled over for
the communist Chinese regime andthat the film industry needs
fresh content because they do keep recycling sequels and

(01:14:55):
prequels and Aust, you know, andoffshoot stories and and.
Yeah, it's just fucking. Right, regurgitating
establishment. There's always that ruins
things. Regurgitating establishing
propaganda tropes from decades past is hardly an effective
solution. Perhaps the Palantir executive
backed film companies knowingly perpetuating harmful subservient

(01:15:19):
ideologies as an intentional push to subjugate people's
minds. Maybe.
Or perhaps the new project is merely a reflection of their own
since sincere, albeit propagandized beliefs.
It may be a bit of both. It's not.
Either way, their true intentions matter less than the
end result, conditioning people to Revere their jingoistic

(01:15:43):
overlords as liberators and encourage affection and
reverence for good authoritarians.
Again, Carrie, I disagree with you on the on the Chinese
Communist stuff and how they're evil and authoritarian and
they're the big bad guy that we have to worry about in the
future. They're already the world

(01:16:05):
dominant global power and they're going to be for the rest
of our lives. Like it, don't like it, don't
give a fuck. They don't give a fuck.
There are too many of them that they can't, we can't stop them.
Now. One other thing, one other thing
I wanted to mention, another Indie Media Award honoree, Andy

(01:16:26):
Worthington mentioned something last last night and I'm not 100%
sure what's happened today with it, but there was talk of the
resumption of aid deliveries in Gaza after 146 days of no trucks
getting through, despite what Israel claims he said.
It appears that the outrage caused by the horrific images of

(01:16:47):
deliberately starved children inGaza.
And all you have to do is look all over Twitter or sub stack to
see pictures of emaciated children and adults, like
literally skin and bones lookinglike Nazi Germany.
Those images have finally stirred sufficient international
pressure to compel Israel to at least temporarily clear its eyes

(01:17:08):
of the red mist that's been in place relentlessly for 22 months
almost, and especially since March 1st, when Netanyahu's
wretched genocide regime imposedits latest barbaric siege on all
food, water, medicine and fuel supplies into Gaza.
Again, you can lie about that and say that they're not.
March 1st was the last time any aid got in except for death

(01:17:32):
shrouds. Remember they allowed seven
trucks full of death shrouds in.I remember you report on that on
Twitter recovering Zionist shale.
Ben Ephraim says that quote. Immense international pressure
has LED Israel to abandon its policy of using GHF death, death
traps and that according to reports with within Israel,

(01:17:54):
there will be a, quote, humanitarian pause of military
operations tomorrow, as well as a, quote, resumption of military
escorts, the UN and other aid organization convoys and the,
quote, creation of humanitarian corridors.
This is all good news if it's actually happening.
He says a reliable IDF source told him that, quote, everything

(01:18:16):
we have done in the last few months has failed.
The government has finally realized that the pictures
broadcast around the world have weakened our hand and
strengthened Hamas. Also on Twitter, the Palestinian
American poet Mossab Abu Toha also noted that the promised
resumption of aid in Gaza tomorrow, including the quote,

(01:18:38):
safe movement of UN convoys delivering food and medicine.
UN quote and quote, reconnectinga power line to Gaza Desalina
tion plant, boosting daily wateroutput to 20,000 cubic meters
also would be an incredible thing.
I want to see it happen. What happened, He asks.
Some countries applied pressure on Israel, which means these

(01:19:01):
saved countries could stop the genocide.
And as Ben Ephraim described it quote, the attempt to deprive
Gazans of food, water and medical treatment was an was an
intentional policy and it backfired miserably.
And this is one of those UN World Food Program aid trucks

(01:19:23):
that have been denied access formonths.
And here is one of the tweets. And you can see this was last
night when they started moving from Egypt.
But I don't know what happened when they got to the Rafa Gate.
It was there an entire large contingent of Israelis there to

(01:19:43):
block the trucks from going through.
I don't know. I saw some stuff about it, but I
have not seen the latest about what happened with those trucks
but. I mean, Egyptian military escort
anything? Well, no.
OK. They're not doing that.

(01:20:05):
I mean, yeah, you get it. I also yeah that so fuck Israel
man for all of this. Yeah.
All right. And and so that was our that was
our long drawn out fuck Israel segment.

(01:21:09):
just mention and breeze through the reporter that was arrested.
This is a American citizen. Advocates and family are calling
for the release of Atlanta journalist detained in
retaliation for his ICE coverage.
Mario Guevara arrested on June 14th while covering the protests

(01:21:32):
against Trump. Still sitting in prison, right?
Mario Guevara, a native of El Salvador, has lived in the US
legally for more than two decades, where he became
renowned as one of Atlanta's most trusted immigration
reporters. Guardian reported described him,
who's an Emmy winning reporter, as the person that immigrants

(01:21:53):
call when they see an ice raid going down in their
neighborhood. That was until June 14th when
the fourty 7 year old was snatched up by police while
filming filming in Atlanta area.No Kings protest and handed over
to ICE. So fuck these bastards, all

(01:22:13):
right, They're trying to get himout.
He has since been shuffled between different ICE facilities
and experience, he told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
That has left him emotionally destroyed.
That's what they want to do, make it so untenable that they
don't want to stay here. Anymore.

(01:22:33):
Dude's got to fucking somebody. Don't give a shit.
Sure. Guevara's lawyer, Giovanni Diaz,
described to stay placed on Guevara's Bondas by ICE as a
surprise to him and the legal team, though Zamora said he
expected that his legal team will ultimately win the appeal.

(01:22:55):
It was a confirmation to us. They wanted to treat Mario very
differently than other detained individuals.
Yes, the punishment is the point.
The administration has made it perfectly clear that anyone
who's not a legal permanent resident at least, or or a
citizen, even if they've been given certain protections and
they've been allowed to remain in the US legally, ISIS decided

(01:23:18):
that these people are targets aswell.
They just say we don't care. His daughter, my father's a
reporter. He chased stories that mattered,
stories who told the truth aboutimmigration, about injustice,
about people who usually go ignored.
He did nothing wrong. He was arrested while wearing a
press badge. He wasn't in the way.

(01:23:40):
He wasn't breaking any law. He was doing his job.
But we know how Zionists and authoritarians want to treat the
press. Yeah, for.
Sure, I also. Wanted.
I also wanted to make no, you know, I brought a thing earlier
from Jen Bud. She's a whistle blower again

(01:24:01):
from Customs and Border Patrol. She also has been trying to get
a book published and she said it's amazing much how much of
what I've been writing about forover a decade has been the
danger of my former agency, yet I can't get published anywhere.
Meanwhile, mainstream news continues to ignore this police
state and treat this as a policyissue.

(01:24:23):
The immigration agencies are actually Trump's army and she
was on the inside. He's seen the the the internal
stack, Slack conversations and Telegram chats and Signal chats.
He knows the mindset and how they think.
And she's screaming that this isnot normal and nobody's

(01:24:44):
listening. So shout out to Jen and and free
Mario Guevara. That's ridiculous.

and at these sub stacks INN newsletter.com and
indymediatoday.com. All right, I have got this one.
This is all the Epstein stuff. And again, I'm just going to
show some headlines here from a few articles that I thought were
really important and breezed through them.
Then we'll get to Lightning Round.

(01:25:31):
But this was actually posted into Descent and Bloom's
Substack chat among her subscribers.
And I started reading, and I'm like, this is actually pretty,
pretty good stuff from a smallerwriter that you probably have
never heard of called tackle Mick Shackles, who writes
Candace's Substack. Very cute.

(01:25:51):
All right, We already had proof about Epstein.
The government knew. The courts helped.
And then Congress walked out reminding people that Democrats
could have been stopping all of this the entire time.
Democrats could have been filibustering.
Democrats could have been havingpress conferences.
Democrats could have been doing a lot of things.

(01:26:12):
But what they've done is willfulinaction by federal agencies
that enabled the rape, trafficking and abuse of
vulnerable girls. Thousand women.
All right. The timing of I.
Wonder why? This one.
Now this is the other thing now Doe One ET al versus United
States, which is a case filed under Federal Tort Claims Act OK

(01:26:35):
by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking network.
I bet you never even heard of this.
The lawsuit alleges that the FBIand Justice Department had years
of credible evidence, victim reports, and internal
intelligence confirming Epstein's operation, yet they
deliberately failed to act. It's not a negligence claim.

(01:26:56):
It's an accusation of willful inaction.
All right, But what's really weird is suddenly the court
allowed this case to be transferred to Florida, the same
jurisdiction that historically prosecute protected Epstein and
allowed him that sweetheart dealthat allowed him to go home at
night or to go back to his jail cell at night and go home and

(01:27:18):
work during the day. She says the timing of this
venue transfer and procedural reset aligns almost too
perfectly with a parallel government narrative shift.
In the last few months, Trump's allies and media outlets have
been working overtime to pretendthere's no Epstein client list.
The Trump's name, Trump's name was never involved and that the

(01:27:41):
public should just move on. Meanwhile, staged Epstein cell
footage was released to prove quote UN quote that he died by
suicide even though the officialreports make no coherent sense.
And the guards involved, who areall dead now, never faced real
accountability. While the court maneuvered to

(01:28:01):
bury this live lawsuit in Southern District of Florida,
federal pop propagandists were manufacturing doubt and
distraction. The message was clear.
Forget it all again. It's kind of like what they tell
victims of of sexual assault, right?
Just act like it didn't happen. But what they don't want anyone

(01:28:23):
noticing is that the case was about to reach the point of
discovery. If that happened, the plaintiffs
could have legally forced the release of FBI documents
detailing in who in government helped Epstein, like Alexander
Acosta, who protected him, like Pam Bondi, who blocked
prosecution and who stood to gain.

(01:28:44):
That's what the venue manipulation was meant to
prevent. This case is not about Epstein
alone. It's about the infrastructure
that shielded him. That includes agents,
prosecutors, judges and politicians.
Discovery would have peeled backthe curtain on just how much
that system is bought, blackmailed and or complicit.

(01:29:08):
This is a really good article, all right, and it's somewhat
long. Why was it moved to Florida
again? Because they were about to get
Discovery, Because the government manipulated venue
using a stale legal tactic to create a delay, take that down
the road and suppress public scrutiny.

(01:29:29):
And now they have until August 25th to supply more documents to
the new court. How about that?
All right, the court. This is crazy, right?
Justice Department filed a motion to dismiss, arguing
improper venue because they claim that DC wasn't the proper
location because the events in question happened in Florida or

(01:29:52):
New York, not DC, and that the plaintiffs lived elsewhere.
So how could it be federal? On June 16th, the judge actually
granted in part and held in abeyance the Justice
Department's motion and gave theplaintiffs a choice.
Dismiss it without prejudice or transfer it to SDNY Southern

(01:30:14):
District of New York who they don't want to send it to because
they're they're anti Trump or Southern District of Florida
who've been very pro Trump. On June 30th they chose to
choose to transfer it to Florida.
Case closed in DC. Hey, how about that?
Reopened in Southern District ofFlorida with a new starting case

(01:30:35):
date. And again, what that does is
kicks the can down the road and this lays out a timeline
specifically in real time of what happened.
So on July 25th, the federal government again filed a request
to delay their response to the Second Amendment amended

(01:30:55):
complaint. The judge granted it.
The Justice Department now has until August 25th to respond.
A key stall tactic to avoid entering discovery, which gives
more time to coordinate media narratives and political
distraction campaigns. And remember what they also
kicked down the road until September is the Luigi trial.

(01:31:20):
That also is going to be a distraction when it comes to the
courts and to court records and court reporters on August 25th.
The DOJ must respond to the complainant by this date.
If no further delay is granted, which we expect it will, This is
the moment that the government either tries to dismiss the case

(01:31:40):
again or is forced into discovery.
What they fear are depositions of FBI agents, unsealed records
of who protected Epstein, subpoenas of Justice Department
internal communications, names buried inside non prosecution
deals, and potential exposure ofintelligence agency involvement,

(01:32:01):
which we know they were all involved.
They used venue manipulation as a legal crowbar to pry the case
out of DC where it would be visible, documentable, and
politically explosive, and shoved it into Florida where
sealed records, local corruption, and media blackout
will bury it. They did the same with Kilmar,

(01:32:23):
Abrego, Garcia, Seacat deportation lawsuits, and other
immigration trafficking cases. This is a really good article.
Again, I'm going to link this inthe description.
I encourage everyone to go back and read the entire thing, but
that's fucking crazy. And then we have our friend
Michelle decrypted Davis. Now he also published an

(01:32:44):
explosive article. He doesn't publish much, but
Michelle published this thing about Epstein and crypto and all
the different people who Epsteinwas involved with.
All right, but but you can and should view the original
threads. Abundance of source references,
right? It seemed worth revisiting and

(01:33:06):
slightly updating the information now that Epstein has
become such a hot topic again, right?
This post owes heavy debt to some incredible research on
touch points between Epstein andvarious figures and the
cryptoverse done by NFT Ethics, one of the literally less than
10 participants in the crypto markets who Michelle doesn't
regard as fundamentally even evil human being.

(01:33:29):
So you've got Lutnick is involved.
Howard Nutlick. Right, He was Epstein's
neighbor. It's been less widely reported
that Lutnick bought a house fromEpstein in a transaction some
sources have described as bizarre.
And it seems to have been prettymuch missed by entirely by the

(01:33:49):
American media establishment. All right, that Howard Lutnick
manages somewhere north of $100 billion or roughly 1/5 of of the
military budget of the US for Tether, the central Bank of the
cryptocurrency economy and the favored financial services
provider of criminals, terrorists and the rogue nuclear

(01:34:09):
states the world over. Justin, son of Tron as well.
So again, so that's Lutnick. Then you've got the creepy pedo,
allegedly not so real legend Brock Pierce, you know, Puerto
Rican mogul. I wrote a lot about Brock Pierce
incredibly short history and deep connections to things like

(01:34:32):
cryptocurrency, Tether, and the Israeli government last year in
his catalog of New York City Mayor Eric Adams crypto
grifting. He mentioned Pierce's
connections to Epstein in passing in that post.
But there's a bit more to it than the fact that Epstein
invited Pierce to speak at the Mind Shift conference that
Epstein organized in an attempt to rehabilitate his image after

(01:34:54):
the first round of convictions for what we will delicately
refer to as the inappropriate touching of minors or sex
trafficking of minors. Apparently, Pierce's invitation
to speak at Epstein at Epstein'sconference was delivered by none
other than Al Sekhel, the long term partner of a woman named

(01:35:15):
Isabel Maxwell. Isabel Maxwell just so happens
to be the sister of a woman named, wait for it, Elaine
Maxwell. Yes, she also is notorious for
fucking for fucking Bill Gates. Isabel and Ghilane's father was
a man named Robert Maxwell, a notorious UK fraudster who, to

(01:35:36):
quote Wikipedia quote, had knownlinks to the British Secret
Intelligence Service MI 6, to the Soviet KGB and to the
Israeli intelligence service Mossad, UN quote.
I'm not going to comment on thisfurther.
I'm not going to comment on thisfurther other than to say at
times I wonder if people are over indexing the third and

(01:35:57):
under indexing on the second, especially considering that
according to the Dossier Center,Epstein had proposed a BRICS
cryptocurrency as a member of the FSB as early as 2015.
That's interesting. All right, sure.

(01:36:20):
Now, again, actually, I take that back.
I'd also like to point out that in my piece on Brock Pierce and
Eric Adams, I called out Jerusalem Post writer and editor
Zvika Klein for engaging what tome appeared to be blatant
reputation laundering for Brock Pierce as well.
Well before this, this kind of thing started coming out as the
Qatar Gate scandal started to rock the Netanyahu regime,

(01:36:45):
right? Right.
And while I'm here, why not? Why don't I just mention that
plenty of people I've talked to refer to Brock Pierce as the gay
Epstein, but he's married. Then you've got Peter Thiel
discussed his relationship with Epstein publicly on numerous

(01:37:07):
occasions. For a long time, Michelle was
more or less ready to believe what was the pretty obvious
subtext of Thiel's stuttering attempts on explaining himself.
Epstein was world class at helping rich people avoid taxes,
and Peter Thiel really hates paying taxes.
I did, however, take note of thefact that Teal allegedly started

(01:37:27):
making large investment in the crypto crypto space around the
same year that he allegedly first met Jeffrey Epstein.
However, new information was uncovered by the New York Fuck
You Times a few weeks ago about Teal and Epstein's financial
entanglements. It turns out Epstein was an
investor in Valar Ventures, one of the firms associated with

(01:37:49):
Teals adventures in tolkanized late stage capitalism, and one
that has done some investing in the crypto space.
Again, what a surprise. It's worth mentioning that Teal
is a major backer of Rumble where we're live right now.
Or at least he was. According to Chris Pavlovsky.

(01:38:11):
He's had nothing to do with Rumble since 2021 since the SPAC
was closed. Because he doesn't have to.
Nothing to see here. He can go through his
intermediary, Vice President JD Vance.
He doesn't need to talk to Rumble directly.
And I don't know if he's a investor of, you know, Class B

(01:38:33):
or other stock. But again, Chris, Chris claims
that he liquidated all of his Rumble stock.
So I don't know if that's accurate or not, but he was a
major backer of Rumble. How convenient.
Other Rumble backers include luminaries like Vivic, Fuck You
Rama, Smarmy, JD Vice President,Fuck the Couch, Vance Howard

(01:38:55):
Nutlick, whose can, whose firm Cantor Fitzgerald has been at
times the largest holder and or custodian of Rumble's shares.
And wait for it, Tether, which made an enormous $775,000,000
investment in Rumble relatively recently in December.
By the way, we reported on that on this show.

(01:39:18):
Don't know too many others that fucking did.
Which therefore surprised no onethat Rumble recently announced
it'll allow its users to send money to each other with, wait
for it, Tethers USDT tokens. I'm sure all those Rumble USDT
transactions will be vetted to prevent abuses by Russian

(01:39:39):
oligarchs and Chinese organized crime groups just as carefully
as the rest of Tethers USDT transactions, right?
Have a good time with your Bitcoin, your crypto, and
everything, anything else that you're playing with.
Other Rumble shareholders holders have included people
like America's FBI director CashPatel, who needed somewhere to

(01:40:01):
park all the money he got paid for hosting a podcast for the
Epic Times prior to that companybeing revealed as a massive
crypto money laundering option operation for a Chinese cult
called Falun Gong. And of course, our DNI Tulsi.
Gabbard Falun Gong's fucking crazy, holy shit.

(01:40:22):
Anyway. Shen Yu, right?
They, they, they pump their propaganda through that fucking
dance thing. All right, we get the the Flyers
in our door here. Tai Chi Yeah.
Right. And of course, Tulsi Gabbard,
who invested in incredibly sketchy crypto currencies that
he doesn't even have time to discuss here, but go see that.

(01:40:43):
I'll also note that Tulsi managed to acquire her shares in
Rumble shortly before Tethers $775,000,000 investment in the
platform pushed up the price, which I'm sure it's just another
one of those funny coincidences.He couldn't possibly have had
some prior insider trading knowledge, right?
Also, Dan Bongino, come on, Do you have a Dan Bongino sound bit

(01:41:09):
assistant FBI director He. Takes a second to get.
In Dan Bongino was also one of the largest shareholders of
Rumble. He had like the number one
podcast on the platform before he accepted the job.
Of course, again we get to read Hoffman, and then if I look
further, you've got Larry Summers and you've got Ehud

(01:41:31):
Barack and you've got Steve Bannon.
Steve Bannon. And all of the other Epstein and
all the other friends. There's more in this NFT ethics,
right? The binder's full of women.
Right now, don't they? Some of the more salacious
details, right, include some admittedly pretty tenuous

(01:41:53):
connections to Russian terrifying Russian organized
crime bosses like Simeon Mogyelovich, who is of course a
big fan of crypto. You should read their posts
about it, right? I'll leave you to Mull over all
of this. All right, in the meantime,
here's a subscribe button you can hit if you want to learn

(01:42:14):
about things like the on chain war between Iran and Israel way
before any of America's journalistic class catches on to
the fact that it's even happening, right?
So post, post them, script them.I'm just going to throw out a
few observations about the FC and situation that have nothing
to do with crypto. Epstein is on tape saying he was

(01:42:36):
Donald Trump's closest friend for most of a decade.
Jeffrey Epstein being allowed tokill himself as almost as big a
scandal as someone coming in andkilling him.
While not actually on suicide watch at the time of his death,
he'd made at least one suicide attempt in the days before he
managed to complete the ACT. Some.

(01:42:58):
Seems like a like a lot of Thermundrung could have been
prevented by one of these suicide proof smocks they use in
America's medieval correctional systems.
Epstein and Trump are reported to have fallen out over a real
estate deal despite the fact that Trump either sued or was
sued by someone almost twice a week every week for 43 years

(01:43:20):
prior to being elected presidentin 2016.
He neither sued nor was sued by Epstein which is extremely SUS.
The photos of Trump with the 19 year old he publicly dated when
he was in his 40s roughly on comment on with his relationship
with Epstein are what I call might call questionable.

(01:43:41):
But the videos of Epstein and Trump ogling the very young
women, combined with recent statements from Epstein's
victims and ex girlfriends regarding their interactions
with Trump back in the day, are what we might call alarming.
And I'm not sure what we would call Epstein pleading the 5th
when asked if he'd ever socialized with Donald Trump in
the presence of females under the age of 18.

(01:44:04):
Why would he do that #5-A surprising number of the people
who oversaw the administration of justice in Florida when
Epstein was doing all the inappropriate touching have
ended up in the Trump administration's past and pat
and present. Pam Bondi failed to do anything
about Epstein for her entire 8 year reign as the Attorney

(01:44:24):
General of Florida, the state where a lot of the inappropriate
touching occurred, and trafficking.
And now she's the Attorney General of the United States.
Alex Acosta, who personally arranged for Epstein to get off
with a slap on the wrist for soliciting prostitution instead
of a decades long felony sentence for abusing children,

(01:44:44):
was appointed by Trump to be theLabor Secretary.
If your tinfoil hat is tuned to the right frequency, you can
almost imagine some kind of quidpro quo here.
Oh, and while I'm here, let's not forget the fact that the man
who gave Jeffrey Epstein his bigbreak in life was Donald Barr,
AKA the father of Bill Barr, theAttorney General of the US in

(01:45:07):
Trump One point O, or at least the last one.
Jeff Sessions was the first one,right?
There's more conclusions, and a lot of them.
I'm not going to read them all. Here's a prediction.
Trump will drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street
Journal a few days before he's set to be deposed and or is
about to be forced to comply with the journals many and

(01:45:30):
varied discovery demands. We'll figure.
Bookmark it and hit those restack and like buttons at the
top if you enjoyed reading it. A few hours after I published
this piece, The Wall Street Journal dropped another bigger
bomb on Trump. And that was the one about the
letter that allegedly Trump had drawn a picture at a birthday

(01:45:52):
card or something. I don't know.
And Trump denies it, of course. And then the last thing I wanted
to mention about this, and we'regoing to skip the lighting
around. We'll just go to boats.
Crypto industry spending more onlobbying than ever.
You know, David Moore, this is sludge.com, Sludge
readsludge.com. I've been a big fan of these

(01:46:13):
guys. They've been following the
money. They really chased all the
crypto spending during the 24 election.
But as it turns out, crypto is spending even more now because
they got what they wanted and they sense that they're on the
10 yard line eyeing major legislative wins.
The crypto industry is on pace to spend a record amount on

(01:46:33):
federal lobbying, according to asludge analysis of disclosures
covering the first half of this year.
This is not an election year. There's no presidential
election. There's not even a fucking
congressional election, and they're maxing out spending and
hitting record levels. Why?
Because they're getting something for it.

(01:46:55):
The crypto industry spent more than $18.4 million on federal
lobby in the first half of 2025.Sludges tally, detailed in a
table below, covers all lobbyingspending by crypto companies
like Coinbase, investment firms like Andreessen Horowitz that
lobbied on major crypto bills, and the industry's main trade

(01:47:17):
groups like the Blockchain Association and the Fair Shake
Pack, which our friend Golden Monarch has done extensive
reporting on. Go follow Golden
monarchdomain.substack.com The crypto industry is on track to
surpass the amount it's spent onlobbying in 2024 according to
Sludges analysis and the full sum is spent to publish to push

(01:47:41):
pro crypto bills is much higher,such as money spent on
grassroots lobbying campaigns. The contact members of Congress
by the Coinbase founded advocacynon profit stand with crypto
which doesn't disclose federal lobbying expenses.
Again, how convenient. And this is all being done on

(01:48:01):
pumped speculation with nothing behind it.
The growth of these crypto markets.
There is 0 asset there. Crypto industry lobbyists have
been flooding Capitol Hill this month to push through their top
legislative priorities, what supportive lawmakers describe as

(01:48:22):
applying light touch regulation to digital assets.
Yes, let us do what we want. One bill passed by the House
during the GOP's Crypto week, the Genius Act on Stable Coin
Regulation, was signed into law by President Trump on July 18th.
Trump, whose family businesses are launching stablecoin and

(01:48:43):
Bitcoin ventures, said that the bill will make America the
undisputed leader in digital assets and took another victory
lap for delivering on his pledgeto enact the measure.
Another bill, which is the Clarity Act, which is a market
structure bill for digital assets that would hand oversight
of many crypto projects to the industry's preferred Regulatory

(01:49:07):
agency, which I believe is the the commodities exchange.
They passed the that passed the House last week in a bipartisan
vote. Thanks, Democrat douchebags. 294
to 134 because they're getting bought off too, including
Elizabeth Warren. Yesterday, key Senate
Republicans released a draft of their version of the bill.

(01:49:30):
So the the chart breakdown is here.
Here's a breakdown of how much crypto interests have spent on
DC lobbying so far this year, compared with all 24.
Coinbase has been the industry'slot top lobbying spender this
year, as it was last year, spending more than 2.1 million
in the first half. All right, they retained dozens

(01:49:54):
of lobbyists with K St. firms tolobby Congress, Treasury
Department, other government offices.
I don't know why that image isn't popping up, but must be
getting blocked, right? Many crypto firms are on pace to
outspend their federal lobbying.Last year, the exchange
crypto.com has spent more than two million this year, already

(01:50:17):
doubling its 2024 total. And the Silicon Valley firm
Andreessen Horowitz has spent more than 1.4 million, putting
it on pace to surpass last year's outlay.
Like this is this is bad, 3 crypto trade groups that pushed
for the genius act are now trying to push the Clarity Act
over the finish line and they'vespent together over 2.1 million

(01:50:41):
on lobbying. So this is this is very bad.
Yet crypto companies buying off our lawmakers to get them
friendly legislation and it's working.
Shout out to David Moore of sludge.
I reached out to David and Donnie.
Donnie to do a one-on-one interview about their work and

(01:51:03):
about their publication and he said they're arranging some
things right now, but to reach out back to him in six months
and I would be thrilled for the opportunity to sit down with
them. Nonprofit, you know, user funded
accountability journalism newsroom, literally 2 guys.

(01:51:23):
I got a lot of respect for them.So that's that's sludge go go
subscribereadsludge.com. All right, everyone again, like
I said, I'm going to skip through the lightning round.
Lightning round. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow.
I'll just pre record it because there are some things that I did
want to cover. I will what?

(01:51:46):
What do you got? No, go ahead, you could.
I did want to very briefly mention our friend Andrew
Ziggman Smith and and his daughter Anna Marie.
She had a hell of a week and andbless her and we send our our
thoughts, our prayers, our our hopes after meeting with our

(01:52:06):
brain surgery. Anna Marie is going to be
getting brain surgery this past Friday to remove a golf ball
sized tumor from her left neocortex.
This is a different tumor than the cluster around her brain
stem that was treated with proton radiation that we were
talking about in the spring. Prayers of course would be
wonderful and we sent them. He then gave us another update.

(01:52:28):
All good news. Anna Marie on Friday was out of
surgery 4 hours early because the tumor was removed so easily.
Thank God it had regrown and wasfully attached to the bone with
almost 0% being inside the foldsof her brain, which is about as
good of news as they could hope.We couldn't have received better
news. She's already awake.

(01:52:50):
Thank you everyone for your prayers and I said best news
I've heard today. Love you guys and keep fighting,
champ. He said he can't state how
enough how much these small winstruly help.
And then we got one more update yesterday.
Anna Marie was moved out of ICU today and into general ward,

(01:53:11):
which is another really positivestep.
He ate BBQ ribs and Mac and cheese all day along with a
peanut butter milkshake. So she's getting her appetite
back. She's got some aches and pains
and swelling. Nothing worrying or unusual for
getting fucking brain surgery. Fuck cancer.
Fuck cancer, man. BBQ Ridge.

(01:53:36):
And and this again is Anna Marie's GoFundMe.
We got about another I think almost $1000 last week.
They raised the gold to 9000, bless her.
And and that's our brother Andrew.
I love you man and I can't even imagine friends and dad having
to sit there through all this and and show strength to your

(01:53:59):
kid and you got all of us behindyou 100% man Love you.
So support the GoFundMe. This is our new shop where you
can pick up some merch, also INNT-shirts and indie T-shirts, and

blind when I couldn't read between the lions and when I
couldn't see the cracks in the structure that lay bare before
me the whole time. I think I liked it better back
when I suspended disbelief and swallow in pride.
I thought I knew the difference in the red from the blue, but

(01:58:07):
they both bleed us so dry. They both bleed us so dry.
My favorite songs don't hit the same way.
I get to the end of a 4 minute track and I'm only looking back
thinking, what did they actuallysay?
I guess this isn't such an awfulplace.

(01:58:30):
Is that what you want me to say?You prove it's possible to sleep
for days and they still think you're right here away.
The cost of a living isn't much to make, but God, it's so hard
to say. And we're meant to do everything

(01:58:52):
I said. Were you safe?
