I relay that, per Tim Parlatore, Special Advisor to the Secretary of War, the case against Sen. Mark Kelly over his “Seditious Six” video centers on this: under the Constitution you can’t hold two offices simultaneously. If you’re both an active-duty military officer and a sitting senator, you must resign one; in this case, the military would take precedence, so Kelly would be forced to resign from the Senate.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion centers on a legal review underway at the Department of the Navy regarding Senator Kelly’s conduct and the related public commentary by press secretary Kingsley Wilson, which labeled the senator’s actions traitorous and seditious. The speakers emphasize that any assessment must go beyond the video itself and consider the totality of the circumstances and the legal framework.
Speaker 1 argues that the video misstates the law. Under the UCMJ, orders are presumed lawful, and service members have an obligation to disobey only manifestly unlawful orders. The phrase “we’re just saying what the UCMJ says” is problematic because it does not define what constitutes a manifestly unlawful order. The speaker notes that the video’s rhetoric includes claims that National Guard deployments and Venezuela strikes are unlawful, which creates a debate about legality but does not automatically render such orders unlawful.
Using the National Guard example, if a soldier is ordered to deploy to Chicago, some politicians may deem it unlawful while others do not. The order is presumed lawful under the ACMJ (likely a reference to a military acronym), and the soldier is obligated to follow it. If the soldier refuses, they face court martial. However, if the soldier is out on patrol and the platoon commander orders, for example, to shoot a protester in the head, that would be a manifestly unlawful order, universally recognized as unlawful. The concern is that the video lowers the standard for disobeying orders by leaving interpretation open and then supplying a normative frame via additional rhetoric.
Speaker 1 says the review will consider the totality of the circumstances and the feasibility of options, including the implications of recalling a sitting senator to active duty. There are significant separation-of-powers issues: under the Constitution, one cannot hold office in two branches simultaneously, so if a sitting senator were recalled to active duty, they would have to resign from Congress or from the military. In that scenario, military precedence would prevail, forcing a resignation from Congress or the Senate. The Navy’s leadership, including General Bly (the Judge Advocate General of the Navy), is anticipated to be deeply involved in evaluating these factors.
Speaker 0 notes a potential immunity angle, suggesting that if the same conduct occurred to someone without protection but under recall and military justice, the analysis might differ. Speaker 1 adds that pursuing this route in district court could yield an order declaring members of Congress immune from certain prosecutions or actions.
Overall, the discussion highlights the legal tests for unlawful orders, the potential implications of recalling a senator, separation-of-powers considerations, and possible immunity issues that could arise in litigation.

Speaker 0: A lot of discussion with press secretary Kingsley Wilson yesterday. She called senator Kelly's conduct traitorous, seditious. We understand that there's a legal review underway right now at the Department of the Navy. One lawyer to another, what are some of the legal factors or legal tests that you would want reviewed in any type of allegation like this?
Speaker 1: Sure. And I'm not part of that review, but, you know, my personal opinion, I look at it. You have to go beyond just the video itself. Okay? The video itself has two major problems with it.
One is it misstates the law. You know, they keep saying, oh, we're just saying what the UCMJ says. Under the UCMJ, orders are presumed to be lawful, and you only have an obligation to disobey manifestly unlawful orders. Manifestly meaning it's obvious to anybody that this is an unlawful
Speaker 0: Well, they were obviously calling for every service member to impose their own moral judgment on every political question.
Speaker 1: Exactly. And so I'll give you an example. Because you start with that video, and then because they haven't defined the unlawful order, you look at their other rhetoric and where they talk about, we think that the National Guard deployments are unlawful. We think the Venezuela strikes are unlawful. Okay.
So let's take the National Guard. If a soldier gets orders to deploy to Chicago with the National Guard, some politicians say it's unlawful, some don't. There's a debate over it. It is presumed under the ACMJ to be a lawful order. They have to follow it.
If a soldier did refuse to go to Chicago, they're getting court martialed to go to jail. Once they get to Chicago, if they're out there on patrol and the platoon commander says, hey. Shoot that protester in the head. Okay. Time out.
That one is manifestly unlawful order. That one, everybody on every side of the issue agrees. Everybody knows that's unlawful. That's the manifestly unlawful order that you are required to disobey. And so that's the problem is that they lowered the video lowers the standard of what type of order you're supposed to disobey, leaves it open to interpretation, and then gets filled in through other rhetoric.
So I think that the review is gonna kinda look at the totality of the circumstances there, but then it's also gonna look at the different options available and the feasibility of those options because recalling a sitting senator to active duty, it has major implications, separation of powers implications. Under the constitution, you're not allowed to hold office in two branches at the same time. So if you are both an active duty military officer and an sitting US senator, you're required to resign one of those positions. And in this case, the military would take precedence, so he'd be forced to resign from congress or from senate. So I think that that causes a major separation of powers issue.
You know? And and I I'm sure that the people in the navy that are looking at this, you know, general Bly, the judge advocate general of the navy is a very, very intelligent guy. A guy I Yeah.
Speaker 0: It but it's it almost reads like an immunity, Tim, because if because if the same conduct Right. Were to occur to for someone who who didn't have that protection but was subject to recall and military justice, it it might be a different analysis.
Speaker 1: And and I think that's one of the concerns is that if you tried it this way and if he were to litigate it in the district court, you would end up potentially with an order saying that members of congress are immune.

“When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” Foundation for Freedom Online Executive Director @MikeBenzCyber peeks behind the veil of professional organizations that topple democratically elected governments around the world and explains how they’re involved in the No Kings movement.
Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 0 asks about the organizing principle behind the activism, noting a lack of a specific list of grievances beyond longtime Democratic criticisms, and wonders if there is something truly animating the movement.
Speaker 1 responds with the hammer analogy: for thirty years since the end of the Cold War, the instrument used to overthrow democratically elected governments has been that a country with an autocracy may have voted for its leader, but it functions like an autocracy. This justifies overthrowing governments that people voted for in the name of democracy, with examples including Hungary under Orban, which is hugely popular but autocratic, and El Salvador, where protests faded once USAID money stopped. The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, embraced the shutdown of USAID, which has been used to influence internal politics there. A notable article in Notice about four months earlier defended USAID employees and warned the Trump administration that shutting down USAID would be a big mistake because it would unleash professional government toppling specialists. This professional class is described as a career path to learn how to network with organizations that topple governments on behalf of the State Department, the CIA, USAID, and their donor-drafted class in private equity, hedge funds, and multinational corporations that profit from post-coup governments.
Speaker 1 explains that activists label these efforts as “no kings,” attempting to frame the issue as autocracy. He notes the irony that these activists are partnered with global networks in Canada and the United Kingdom that have kings, and they have had to rebrand in different countries. He recounts a scene in London where their network protested outside the US embassy, shouting “no US kings,” while in the same context they themselves are connected to monarchies. He emphasizes the incoherence of the current stance, especially given that we are less than a year out from a sweeping democratic victory—control of the House, the Senate, the electoral college, and a popular vote—defined as the opposite of a king-like monarchy.
Speaker 1 concludes by saying that with only a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and that all these NGOs are set up for democracy promotion against autocracy, which is how they obtain 501(c)(3) tax-deductible status. They must label regimes as autocracies even if they are far from that description.

Speaker 0: What is the organizing principle of all this? Beyond Trump bad, I can't really draw out a specific list of grievances other than kinda what Democrats have been complaining about since the nineteen seventies. Is is there anything that appears to be really animating or motivating the activism here?
Speaker 1: Well, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And for for thirty years since the end of the Cold War, the the hammer that we've used in order to overthrow democratically elected governments has been in a that country has an autocracy. They may have voted for it, but it's functioning like an autocracy. So in Hungary, they democratically voted for Orban. He's hugely popular, but it's an autocracy.
So that justifies us overthrowing the government that people voted for democratically in the name of democracy. Same thing in El Salvador. All the protests in El Salvador went away as soon as the USAID money went away. Even the president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, embraced the shutdown of USAID that has been used to control internal politics there. So you have there's a there was a great article in notice about four months ago, which was sent it was it was like a warning, and it was defending USAID employees and warning the Trump administration that, it was a big mistake to shut down USAID because now you've unleashed all of these professional government toppling specialists.
I mean, it is a professional class, and this is an important thing for the audience to understand. Yes. Either it is a professional vocation, a career track to learn how to and to network with the organizations who professionally topple governments on behalf of the state department, the Central Intelligence Agency, USAID, and their donor drafter class in the private equity and hedge fund and multinational corporate world, who who make the profits off of post coup governments. And so what you have here is they're calling it no kings, as trying to kind of make the argument that this is an autocracy. Of course, it's it's hilarious because they're partnered with these global networks in Canada and The United Kingdom who all have kings, and so they've had to rebrand in different countries.
There's a funny scene in London where, their little London network, protested outside the US embassy in London saying, no US kings. And here they are embracing their own monarchy, but the you know, it it it's very incoherent right now because we're less than a year out from an overwhelming democratic victory. Clean sweep, house of representatives, senate, electoral college, popular vote. The entire thing was democratically voted for. It is the exact opposite of a king like monarchy.
But, again, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. All of these NGOs are set up for democracy promotion against autocracy. That's how they get their five zero one c three. That's how they get tax deductibility status. So they have to call it an autocracy even if it's the farthest thing from.

Israel lied… and Trump knew it. Breaking Points co-host @RyanGrim details how the Trump White House caught the Netanyahu government lying about Gaza ceasefire violations and intervened to uphold the deal. https://t.co/cZLy5QZdUM
Video Transcript AI Summary
Ryan walks through observations on the Rafa incident. On Sunday, the IDF reported an RPG attack at what used to be the Rafa Airport, along with claims of snipers, efforts to clear a tunnel, and fighters possibly hiding in the tunnel. The map shows how far Rafa Airport is behind enemy lines, with IDF positions nearby, and extensive rubble, but no tunnel network connecting to the rest of Gaza from there. Two possibilities if the IDF story is accurate: either Hamas fighters managed to slip through the rubble for many kilometers to get behind the lines and ambush, or they have been hiding in a tunnel for eight months since the ceasefire, raising questions about provisioning of food and water.
A source familiar with the situation says that shortly after the attack, U.S. intelligence indicated a bulldozer operated by a settler company destroying homes in Rafa had run over either unexploded ordnance or an improvised explosive device that had not detonated during fighting months earlier, and the United States relayed this to Israel as the likely cause. There is an enormous amount of IDF ordnance and unexploded ordnance from shells and bombs from previous fighting.
The discussion then shifts to whether White House officials believe Israel lied to them. They conveyed to the White House that they knew what had happened, and Netanyahu’s response followed. Netanyahu announced that, because of the attack, they were closing all crossings with no food or medicine entering. After this message from the White House, Netanyahu announced that crossings would be reopened on Monday morning, with the reversal happening within a few hours due to the time difference.
The implication highlighted is that U.S. officials reportedly believed Israel was not telling the truth about the incident, and this belief is tied to the reversal of the crossing closures.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Ryan, what are you learning regarding the impetus for this violence in Rafa? We've got a map here of the site in question, so walk us through your observations.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So on on Sunday, the IDF reported that there had been an RPG attack right here at if you look at the screen there at the what used to be the Rafa Airport. It's still still called the Rafa Airport. It hasn't operated in some time now. They also said that some snipers had come out, that that the IDF was trying to clear a tunnel, and that some fighters may have been hiding out in this tunnel.
But what's important for people to understand when they look at this map here is, look how far behind enemy lines the this Rafa Airport is. So you have IDF positions right nearby. You have absolute moonscape rubble as far as the eye can see, and you don't have a tunnel network that connects to the rest of Gaza from there. So, there are two possibilities here, if the IDF story is accurate. You know, either some Hamas fighters managed to somehow sneak through this rubble for, you know, many kilometers, get behind the enemy lines, and then launch an ambush, or that just days after agreeing to a ceasefire, or they've been hiding out in this tunnel for eight months at this point, because the IDF has controlled this area for roughly eight months at this point, you know, how they would be provisioned,
Speaker 0: you
Speaker 1: know, food and water, you know. So those are the two credible possibilities. Now, what I was told, my source familiar with this situation, is that shortly after this happened, the Americans had intelligence that what happened was that a bulldozer, that was operated by a kind of settler company that is destroying homes in Rafa, the homes that remained standing, had run over either unexploded ordinance or some type of improvised explosive device that had had not detonated during the the fighting that had taken place in Rafe many months ago, and that The United States then relayed to Israel that they that they had this intel, that this is what had happened, that we know, like, there's enormous amount their IDs and there's enormous amount of unexploded ordnance from from shells in particular, but also from, you know, bombs dropped from the sky that hasn't blown up. And when a bulldozer runs over that, it might it might blow up, and that's what happened.
Speaker 0: And Well, hold on. I I I wanna draw a fine point on that, Ryan, because if if that's true, it would seem to suggest that White House officials believe Israel has has lied to them. Is is that what you're reporting?
Speaker 1: Yes. That's that's what that's what they believe. And they when they conveyed to them that they knew what had happened, if you noticed, shortly after that, Netanyahu said that he was opening the crossings back up. It's what he said. He said, alright.
Because of this attack, we are closing just like they did on March 2. We're closing all of the crossings and no food, no medicine, nothing is getting in. After this message from the White House, which is related to Israel, Netanyahu announced, actually, we're gonna reopen them on Monday morning, which is just because of the time difference just a few hours later. So the closure of all of these crossings, this this major dramatic move that Netanyahu made was then, you know, fully reversed within a matter of hours.
Speaker 0: But what and you attribute that to the fact that The US officials basically called Netanyahu out. That Netanyahu had this story about the violence. US officials say, we actually know that you're not telling us the truth, and then that explains the reversal.

Speaker 1: Is that the that the that the Gates campaign slogan in '28? I'm happy here, my man. I think I think I mean, you know, I I mean, I think it'll be a fight. But I I I guess I think, you know, there's a ton of different cross cutting impulses and trends. But but I I do think it's gonna be really hard to change young people's minds.
It's like you clearly have a generation of people who, for a really wide variety of reasons, I think, are very, very hostile to this to the Israeli government, really dislike what they're doing. Also, as you say, I think a lot of people who maybe even aren't don't or don't really care what Israel is doing in Gaza felt that didn't like the attack on Iran. And so, you know, I I'm I guess I'm not sure. You know, it's always I mean, there's a sort of truism in American politics that ultimately in elections, really, nobody cares about foreign policy. And and and it seems really wildly unlikely that, like, this, of all things, is gonna be the main issue in primary politics in 2028.
But I wouldn't have predicted it was gonna be such a huge issue in both parties right now. We're in the race for mayor of New York. And and there's clearly something going on that is sort of put something going on here. Because I and I think it also relates to the campus protests. Like, a lot of this is a lot of fights that are happening inside America between Americans that are kind of projecting onto this conflict in another country that isn't really about our problems.

Hope Florida Scandal Plot Thickens. @MattGaetz details how newly released emails and documents show a shakedown of Centene Corporation by the Governor Ron DeSantis and FL AG James Uthmeier: “This isn’t governing. It’s thuggery.” https://t.co/qig7VqMe3t
Video Transcript AI Summary
Centene, a Medicaid provider, overbilled states and agreed to Florida for $67,000,000—$57,000,000 to Medicaid and $10,000,000 to Hope Florida, Casey DeSantis' charity. Emails show Centene paid 'DeSantis' wife's charity' 'with a gun to their head' because 'the governor... was demanding it.' The Florida inspector general wanted no part of this 'sleazy transaction' and was removed from the settlement; a September message asked why. The provider said they 'would bear no responsibility for making the payment governor DeSantis directed them to make to Hope Florida.' John Gard wrote this would have to look 'slightly different' negotiating with ACA, 'the agency run by DeSantis.' The money funded political ads 'to defeat a voter ballot initiative,' routed through AG James Uthmeyer's committee. DeSantis claimed funds would help people gain education and independence via HOPE Florida, but the money never went there. 'Even people we like shouldn't be able to do that.'
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: We return to our coverage of Hope Florida. The scandal has grown so large it has its own Wikipedia page now. Here's what happened. A multistate Medicaid provider called Centene overbilled a lot of states. They wanted to resolve their dispute with Florida prior to litigation, so they agreed to pay Florida $67,000,000.
Because they're a Medicaid provider, you'd think that $67,000,000 would go to Florida's Medicaid program, but it all didn't. 57,000,000 went to Medicaid, and 10,000,000 was sent to Hope Florida, the charity closely tied to Florida first lady Casey DeSantis. New emails released show that the Medicaid provider Centene was basically paying governor DeSantis' wife's charity with a gun to their head. They did not wanna make this payment to Hope Florida and included language in multiple drafts to make clear that they were doing this because the governor of Florida, through his agencies, was demanding it. They gave a statement to our show to that exact effect.
It seems the Florida inspector general wanted no part of this sleazy transaction that looks a lot like money laundering. They were taken off the settlement because it was looking less like a settlement and more like a shakedown for other purposes. In September, the Medicaid provider wrote to the state, quote, as stated above, we would like the Florida office of inspector general to be explicitly listed. Can you explain the reason for the removal? Even if this language is removed, we understand that the subsequent language, including all other state department, division, agencies, bureaus, plans, and or programs of the state of Florida, includes the office of the inspector general.
We would expect an email exchange confirming the parties in this agreement on this point with explicit reference to why the office of inspector general is removed. The Medicaid provider makes abundantly clear in their responses that they will bear no responsibility for making the payment governor DeSantis directed them to make to Hope Florida. John Gard has been nominated by president Trump to serve in the federal judiciary. I know mister Gard. He's objectively brilliant, but he hasn't been confirmed.
And his involvement in the Hope Florida scandal as a prior employee of the Florida attorney general may have something to do with it. John Gard sends an email to the agency of under governor DeSantis saying, quote, I get that they negotiated this in every other state with the AG, but they are negotiating this agreement with ACA. Now that's the agency run by DeSantis. And this is going to have to look slightly different. That demand to look slightly different is a demand to pay off DeSantis' wife's charity.
It's not governing. It's thuggery. It's important to note, none of this money taken by the DeSantis' was used personally for them. We found the claims to that effect unfounded thus far. But what they did do is take that money that should have gone to the Medicaid program, and through a series of shady financial transactions, they spent the money on political ads to defeat a voter ballot initiative.
And the current attorney general of Florida, who has never won an election in his own right and who managed the DeSantis failed presidential campaign to defeat, told us that they ordered the code red, and we should be grateful.
Speaker 1: These other nonprofit organizations that have helped, you know, against the the amendment three effort, we should be thankful to them, to all of them. They stepped up in a big way, because of that, we won.
Speaker 0: Such a shakedown. That's what make makes this language in a draft settlement so interesting. The Dissanus run agency for health care administration tried to dump this clause into the settlement agreement. Whereas the agency for health care administration's pending contracts with managed care plans under the statewide managed care program contemplate an expanded role for HOPE Florida in the Medicaid program pursuant to which managed care plans will be required to collaborate with HOPE Florida's Pathways to Prosperity program to enable eligible Medicaid recipients to gain education, job, and life skills to achieve independence. Okay.
How lovely. But it is so deeply deceptive. DeSantis was trying to sell tell Centene that the money that Centene was gonna pay Casey DeSantis' charity was gonna go help people get skills, be independent, get off Medicaid. But that never happened with this money. In fact, the money was just spent on political ads routed through the political committee of the current attorney general, James Uthmeyer.
And it's no surprise that DeSantis and Uthmeyer used Casey's charity because it's basically a shell company with no real accounting or organization where there's a sense of what funds are coming in or going out. And that's not my claim. That is the claim of Joshua Hay, the chairman of Hope Florida.
Speaker 2: Department has no knowledge to my understanding that that money was coming into the organizations. I cannot confirm what the funds were used for. No. We have no monitoring procedures. We have no staff.
I'm chairing a volunteer capacity.
Speaker 0: Whenever we post these online, the whole, like, DeSantis troll machine goes crazy, and I'm not a DeSantis hater. I was Ron DeSantis' top surrogate in his 2018 campaign for governor. He asked me to be the chairman of his transition, and I was proudly. If Ron DeSantis could run for governor again, I'd probably vote for him again. But that doesn't mean that a governor, even a governor we like, should be able to leverage the power of the state to force a payoff to his wife's charity just to launder that money to his current attorney general to run political ads.
Even people we like shouldn't be able to do that.

Georgia’s @RepMTG explains why AIPAC is attacking her: “I dared to tell the truth.” “Israel is not hurting and they are more than capable of not only defending themselves, but annihilating their enemies to the point of genocide. And that’s what’s happening in Gaza.” “AIPAC, YOU CAN BRING IT ON.”
Video Transcript AI Summary
Marjorie Taylor Greene is "furious" about AIPAC attacking her and believes AIPAC needs to register as a foreign lobbyist. She claims AIPAC breaks US laws by donating to members of Congress and taking them on fully funded trips to Israel, where they meet with the "secular government of nuclear armed Israel."
Greene says Israel is not hurting financially and is capable of defending itself to the point of "genocide," which she claims is happening in Gaza. She states AIPAC is attacking her for telling the truth and highlights that she has taken zero money from AIPAC. She claims to be unapologetically American and has a sign on her office door telling foreign lobbyists to stay out unless they follow the law.
Greene is reaching the point of saying "America only" because those under 40 have no hope for the future due to the national debt and inability to afford housing, rent, and insurance. She is "sick and tired" of H-1B visas stealing American jobs. She welcomes AIPAC to come after her, stating she is ready for the fight and will win because America is fed up with funding foreign wars and countries while Americans struggle.

Speaker 0: The reason I invited you on is because I think you really diagnosed things well ahead of time, and you are concerned about the Republican Party betraying some of the values of America first that president Trump ran on and that that you've really been a standard bearer for in the house of representatives. And in lieu of that, we gotta talk about APAC attacking you, sending out fundraising emails saying that you are not acting in the in the interests of our country. Marjorie Taylor Greene, your reaction to A PAC's fundraising emails attacking you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And, Matt, I'll go ahead and be straight and honest about this. I'm absolutely furious. And as a matter of fact, A PAC needs to register as a foreign lobbyist because they're breaking US laws by by donating to members of congress and by taking them on a fully funded trip to Israel every single freshman member of congress this year. They just took them over just recently and had them meet with the prime minister of Israel.
But let's let's let's frame that correctly. They take them over to meet with the secular government of nuclear armed Israel. Israel, who is in less than $400,000,000,000 in debt. Israel, who has taxpayer funded health care and college. Israel is not hurting, and they've already proven that they are more than capable of not only defending themselves but annihilating their enemies to the point of genocide.
And that's what's happening in Gaza. And, Matt, the reason why AIPAC is attacking me is because I dared to tell the truth. Well, Matt, you you and I are good friends. We served together in congress, and you know that I have taken zero money from AIPAC. As a matter of fact, I am so unapologetically American, I have a sign on the door of my office that tells all lobbyists, foreign lobbyists, to stay out of my office and that they have to follow the law.
They have to follow the law and and and register as a foreign lobbyist and be clear about what country they represent because I represent America. As a matter of fact, I've been saying America first for a long time, but I'm getting to the point of saying America only. And I'll tell you why, Matt. It's because pretty much if you're under the age of 40, you have no hope for the future. We're $37,000,000,000,000 in debt.
People can't afford to buy a house. They can't afford rent. They can't afford insurance. They can't afford their bills. And we have h b one visas stealing all these American jobs.
And I'm sick and tired and fed up with it. So if APAC, who donates, by the way, to more Democrats than Republicans as a matter of fact, they're all for Democrats, but they they do donate to Republicans as well. But listen. If AIPAC wants to come after me and accuse me of betraying my American values, AIPAC, you know what? You can bring it on.
I am totally ready for this, and this is a fight that I will fight, and I will give it my all. And I can guarantee you, you're gonna lose because America is fed up, Matt. They're fed up to here with funding foreign wars, funding foreign causes, funding foreign countries for foreign reasons that have nothing to do with Americans while Americans work their ass off every day and pay their taxes and come home, They're living paycheck to paycheck, and their credit cards are maxed out. I don't care anymore. I honestly don't care.
So I'll burn this bridge to the ground, and I will let the flames light the way, and because this is a fight that needs to happen.
Speaker 0: If we were still in congress, I would just say I associate myself with the comments of the gentlelady from Georgia because everything you said there is factual and true and at times unpleasant for people to hear.

ISRAEL WANTS REGIME CHANGE @MATTGAETZ RESPONDS https://t.co/JMEHacPMIu
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker believes Israel's recent attack on Iran is politically motivated, referencing a close Knesset vote where Netanyahu narrowly avoided another election. They argue the conflict isn't about Iran's nuclear program, as North Korea poses a greater nuclear threat to the US.
The speaker highlights that Iran lacks the capabilities for a nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile, unlike North Korea. They suggest a deal where both Iran and Israel give up their secret nuclear weapon programs, drawing a parallel to South Africa's denuclearization.
The speaker criticizes the enthusiasm for regime change wars, recalling the flawed Iraq War, which cost trillions and aided the rise of China and ISIS. They question whether those advocating for attacks on Iran understand the country, citing a senator's lack of knowledge about Iran's population and ethnic mix. The speaker contrasts the comfortable political stance of supporting regime change wars with the sacrifices made by those who fight and die in them.

Speaker 0: Israel didn't kick their regime change habit with Iraq or Libya or Syria, it seems. They need another fix. But, Matt, this isn't a regime change war. It's about Iran's nuclear program. I wish that were true, but it's not.
Congresswoman Marjorie Marjorie Taylor Greene opined that maybe Netanyahu is so feisty about regime change in Iran because he was facing regime change in Israel.
Speaker 1: It's not being reported enough that on Thursday, they held a vote in the Knesset, and it was only by two votes that Netanyahu won. If he had lost, they would have had another election in Israel, and the polling shows that he would lose if an election were to occur today. That vote happened last Thursday. And then Friday, Israel attacked attacked Iran. That's why the bombs are falling, and it seems very political.
Speaker 0: Here's how you know this isn't about Iran's nuclear program. We aren't taking these steps to force denuclearization where the threat is higher and the leaders are even crazier. Take North Korea. North Korea's nuclear program is a far greater threat to The United States than Iran's. It is not even close.
I know. I've had the briefings. I was on the House Armed Services Committee for eight years. Iran has neither the bomb, the delivery system, nor the reentry vehicle that you would need for any intercontinental ballistic missile to launch and reenter orbit. North Korea has all three.
North Korea could launch a nuclear weapon at Mainland United States today. And we've probably got the ability to knock it out of the sky, but Iran can't even get their bird in the air. Iran's death to America chant isn't really my bag, obviously. But Kim in the Hermit Kingdom points to US cities like Los Angeles and San Diego and Seattle on maps, and he openly discusses wiping off major US population centers from existence. Of course, we aren't looking to drop a 100 bunker busters in the mountains of North Korea.
President Trump took other brilliant diplomatic steps to constrain North Korea's hostilities. And the same could be done with Iran. But mad. Iran has kicked out IAEA inspectors. There could be portions of their nuclear program that are secret.
A nuclear secret in The Middle East. How about it? If the world is interested in a secret nuclear program in The Middle East, there is a country that won't allow any international inspectors. Israel. Israel has a nuclear weapon.
Did you know that? I do. They allow no inspections. They are fully secretive and clandestine about it, and the Americans are fully aware. You know what?
I don't even blame Israel for this. If they wanna develop a nuclear weapon, if they had the blessing to do so secretly, I'm not in judgment of that. But to drag the world into a regime change war over secret nuclear weapons when you have secret nuclear weapons is a bit hypocritical. President Trump is the kind of guy who never gives up on a deal. Throughout his life, he's probably made deals and made lots of money on them even when others walked away or didn't see value in a transaction.
So here's a deal. How about Iran and Israel both give up their secret nuclear weapon programs? If Trump got that deal, he wouldn't only get the Nobel Peace Prize, they'd probably name it the Trump Peace Prize forevermore. And it's not that crazy to think about Israel denuclearizing. Look at the model in South Africa.
South Africa denuclearized right before they stopped being an apartheid state. Prominent voices in Israel and America have called for Trump to recognize Israel's sovereignty over Judea And Samaria, which some people call the West Bank. If that happens, Israel will have to let the five to 6,000,000 people who live there vote, and they don't wanna do that. I'm not calling Israel an apartheid state right now. I don't think they are.
But if they are ruling the West Bank, as the neocons would suggest, then the South Africa model for denuclearization is not totally off base. There's a certain bravado at the beginning of a Middle East regime change war. There's enthusiasm, bold predictions of swift victory, and usually a total misunderstanding of what happens next. And the leading voice championing regime change wars for decades has been Fox News.
Speaker 2: We must do the right thing. Saddam is evil and a threat to the world. He must go. We should have just taken 1441 and rammed it down Saddam's throat. It is dangerous to allow an evil dictator to remain in power.
Now if you want a chance that Saddam would never use those deadly weapons, that is your right in a free society and I respect that right. But I don't want a chance that. Saddam Hussein is the largest army in the Middle East. Alright? He has developed these weapons for no purpose.
He doesn't need them defensively. Alright? He doesn't need them at all. He's used them as you know. Alright?
And he's invaded two other countries. But this isn't enough for you to have him removed. You need to think you're dead wrong. I don't think that there's any reason on this earth that that man should remain in power. In the end, Saddam will be removed from power, and the world will be a better place.
Speaker 3: Tragically, will lose American lives, but it will be brief. We're gonna find out massive evidence of weapons of mass destruction.
Speaker 4: I am confident that all those things that you predict are going to come true, and a lot of people that have been laying out the case against us are gonna be very embarrassed.
Speaker 5: Iraqi regime did not and has not disarmed. Saddam Hussein is deemed by the White House a threat to American national security, a brutal, murderous dictator, and a menace to the world. It is the hope of the administration and the goal of the war planners that disarmament and regime change be accomplished as swiftly as practical. Some number of our sons and daughters, our brothers and sisters will give their lives for the cause of freedom.
Speaker 6: Things that we haven't seen in the past, very accurate weapons, very lethal. The Moab is a daisy cutter on steroids, and Iraq is not prepared for what's gonna be thrown at them.
Speaker 0: Oh, Iraq wasn't prepared. Daisy cutter? This is how easily the so called foreign policy experts believed we would carve our way through Iraq. I saw how many of our bravest patriots were pushing up daisies as a consequence of that war. I went to their funerals.
I visited their gravesites. I saw the true cost of a flawed regime change war in The Middle East. The problem is we had no plan to get out. Iraq cost America $3,000,000,000,000, and this distraction and disaster aided in both the rise of China and ISIS. Whoever was telling you that we had the ability to topple a regime in Iraq and then come out with something better was either one, lying to you or, two, so wholly ignorant about the country they were invading that their lack of knowledge or curiosity or understanding led to blood and terrorism and chaos.
So as we approach the 2025 vintage of regime change wars in Iran, I wonder if those now cheerleading attacks on Iran know anything about the country they wanna topple.
Speaker 7: How many people live in Iran, by the way?
Speaker 8: I I don't know the population.
Speaker 7: At all?
Speaker 8: No. I don't know the population.
Speaker 7: You don't know the population of the country you seek to topple? How
Speaker 8: many people live in Iran? 92,000,000. Okay. Yeah. How
Speaker 7: could you not know that?
Speaker 8: I I don't sit around memorizing population tables.
Speaker 7: Well, it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the overthrow of the government.
Speaker 8: Why is it relevant whether it's Well, because 90,000,000 or 80,000,000 or a 100,000,000? Why is that relevant?
Speaker 7: If you don't know anything about the country
Speaker 8: I didn't say I don't know anything about
Speaker 7: the Okay. What's the ethnic mix of Iran?
Speaker 8: They are Persians and predominantly Okay.
Speaker 7: No, no. Don't know anything about Iran. So Okay. I'm not
Speaker 8: the the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran. A senator
Speaker 7: who's calling to overthrow the government. You're the one who knows anything about the country.
Speaker 0: It's easy to sit in a senator's office or a perch in the Pentagon and send out tweets, press releases, and blustered statements about war. Nobody is shooting missiles at you in a Fox News studio. People barely even shoot divergent opinions at you in that myopathy. That's the comfortable political move in the short term, to support regime change wars. But that comfort is not shared by those who have to go fight in these wars and die in them, and many will.

I believe Netanyahu's comment that "America First" means "America dead" is a threat. I completely disagree with him. For America to thrive, it must prioritize America First, as that's what the American people want.
@OANN - One America News
REP MTG TAKES NETANYAHU’S “AMERICA DEAD” COMMENT AS A THREAT Georgia GOP Congresswoman @RepMTG expresses her belief to @MattGaetz that: “Netanyahu said today that ‘America First’ is ‘America dead.’ That sounds like a threat to me. And I COMPLETELY disagree with him on that. In order for America to NOT be dead, it has to stay America First. This is what the American people want.”
Video Transcript AI Summary
Congresswoman Green believes Americans have been brainwashed by propaganda news, including Fox News and the New York Post, into thinking the U.S. must engage in foreign wars to survive. She says Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that "America first is America dead," which she perceives as a threat.
Green opposes war with Iran, stating it is not antisemitic to want to avoid such conflict; rather, it is rational and sane. She claims a Middle Eastern war would set America back twenty years, reminiscent of post-9/11 lies.
Green states that Israel was bombed because it attacked Iran first. She adds that Netanyahu's recent narrow victory in the Knesset and the timing of Israel's attack on Iran suggest a political motive, as he is unpopular and Israelis are tired of war.

Speaker 0: Congresswoman Green, you have been a voice of reason and America First policy. Tell us how you see this conflict between Israel and Iran. Matt, I see it just as you do, and you laid that out so well. That's the America First message, but it's also the truth that the American people have woken up to. We've watched for decades propaganda news.
I'll call out Fox News and the New York Post. They're known to be the neocon network news. We have propaganda news on our side just like the left does. And the American people have been brainwashed into into believing that America has to engage in these foreign wars in order for for us to survive. And it's absolutely not true.
Prime minister Netanyahu said I I saw on video, he said today that America first is America dead. And that sounds like a threat to me, and and I completely completely disagree with him on that. To in order for America to not be dead, it's to stay America first. And this is what the American people want. It is not anti Semitic to say that we do not want to go to war against Iran or any other country.
It that is not that is not anti Semitic at all. It's actually rational. It's sane, and it's loving to people all over the world. A Middle Eastern war will will pull America back twenty years just like you showed in in your intro for your show. It's exactly the lies that we were told after nine eleven, and many people know it's not true.
So I'm completely opposed to this war. Of course, we don't wanna see the people in Israel bombed, but they're only being bombed because Israel attacked Iran first. And that's the truth that we need to be talking about. And and, Matt, I want to add on one more thing that I think is incredibly important because Fox News and and all these other news stations are not talking about it. Last week on Thursday, they held a vote in the Knesset, and Netanyahu only won by two votes because the polling is showing NFL if an election was held today, he would lose.
What he's doing is not popular among the people in Israel. They are tired of war. They they are so devastated after October 7, but they are tired of war. And it he that vote happened last Thursday. And then Friday, Israel attacked attacked Iran.
That's why the bombs are falling, and it seems very political. And and you and I have seen those types of things before.

Sources report that 238 Tren de Aragua terrorists were transferred from the U.S. to El Salvador, which now has the lowest murder rate in the Western Hemisphere. El Salvador's President Nayibukele built a massive, inescapable prison called Saqqat. Sending the terrorists to Venezuela could result in their return to the U.S., but Saqqat ensures they will not escape. The Venezuelan terrorists allegedly attempted to take over one of the planes during the transfer. However, upon arrival in El Salvador, the terrorists saw the Salvadorian show of force and ceased their resistance.

Speaker 0: And tonight, have fresh reporting from my sources in El Salvador following the transfer of 238 Trendy Aragua terrorists from The United States to the Central American country. More happened on that plane ride than you've heard. But first, why El Salvador? Well, when you want security, you go to the experts. And El Salvador now has the lowest murder rate in the Western Hemisphere after having previously been the murder capital of the world.
El Salvador's President Nayibukele built a massive prison called Saqqat. I've been there, and I can assure you no one is getting out via escape. If we send Trinidad Arago to Venezuela, there's a good chance they'd be back on our soil. We don't have to worry about that with those who enter the Salvadorian prison Saqqat. So here's my news.
My sources have informed me that the Venezuelan terrorists actually tried to take over one of the planes transporting them to Central America. They fought on the planes. They resisted movements all until they got to the plane's threshold and saw what was waiting for them. When they saw the Salvadorian show of force in San Salvador, the fight just drained right out of them.
