"What are you doing about the starving children in Gaza? What are you doing?" "Taking money from APAC, with respect. That's something that is infiltrated our our government." "APAC. APAC money. Watch congressman Jake Auchincloss discover in real time that his voters know he's bought and paid for by the Israeli lobby." "What are you doing to prevent the use of our taxes to starve and kill people in Gaza?" "Starvation is not is not what my tax dollars should go to." "Do you believe killing children and civilians in the name of strategic defense is ever justified? Yes or no?" "It's somewhat related question. I wanna make clear, I'm a lifetime Democrat, and I will probably continue to be. But I also feel that all three branches of our government are betraying the people of The United States right now."

US senators. Last year, 93 out of 100 US senators were people whose campaigns had been funded by Israel, APAC, and the Israel lobby. 93 out of 100 US senators were taking money from a group that represents a foreign government and foreign interests in order to operate our government on behalf of someone else, and they all work here in this building. This is representative Ro Khanna from California, and he does not take APEC money according to their website TrackAPEC. Here's what he had to say. "It's too much. I mean, it's too much. If you have people who have a particular point of view, in Apex case, they're basically whatever Netanyahu does is right. That's their point of view. And they're saying, okay, you don't take that view, we may come after you. We may have millions of dollars spent against you." Now ask any American content creator what the scariest subject to cover is, and the answer is Israel. Even YouTubers I know will say their channels were shadowbanned for months after covering them. And folks, the plot around free speech thickens. News just broke that Larry Ellison, cofounder of Oracle, will be buying TikTok, a platform where young people can freely exchange unfiltered ideas. No Israel connection here. Right? Wrong. Ellison is one of the IDF's largest private donors, giving the army tens of millions of dollars through Friends of the IDF, a nonprofit that brands itself as a nonpolitical, nonmilitary organization, but somehow also is the official US partner of Israel soldiers.

They're not registered. He explains Republicans tell him they'd vote with him but "would just take too much flack back home," and that "everybody but me has an APAC person"—an "APAC babysitter" embedded with a congressman. He notes four members said they'll talk to their APAC person to "dial those ads back." He asks why this isn't more widely known, saying "It doesn't benefit anybody. Why would they wanna tell their constituents that they've basically got a buddy system with somebody who's representing a foreign country?" He contends "it's the only country that does this" with an APAC liaison; "they pay for trips for congressmen and their spouses to go to Israel," describing the trip as "vacationy"—seeing the wall and the Dead Sea. The dialog contrasts love of Israel with "the government of Israel" and ends with "That's a completely different thing from taking orders from its government."

Google, Palantir, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, X, Oracle, Amazon, what do all these companies have in common? Well, they're making a bag off the Palestinian genocide. These four companies, Google, Oracle, Amazon, and Microsoft run data centers for the Israeli military, storing the massive amount of surveillance data they track Palestinians. It's the infrastructure for the genocide. They feed that data, store it in these data centers, providing the compute for Palantir's AI killing systems, their algorithms that they've entered into a massive warfare deal with Israel for. It's allowed the systematic destruction of Palestinian civilization in Gaza. That's Palantir. They've netted hundreds of billions since entering this deal. They provide the means. Who provides the weapons? Well, of course, everyone knows this answer. It's The United States taxpayer. It's our war company. So add them in there too. On top of this, you have Google, X, and Meta all taking money from Israel, all taking money from Netanyahu's propaganda arm to push propaganda to Americans, denying the genocide, denying war crimes, denying masturbation in Gaza. Most recently, drop site news exposed Google and X, Google taking 45 mil, X taking 2 mil, from Netanyahu's office to deny masturbation in Gaza. This started just days after Israel began cutting off all aid to the Gaza Strip for over eighty straight days. This is complicity at the top level. I didn't forget about Apple. Of course, they run their largest R and D center in Israel, complicit in apartheid and occupation. They also match employee donations to the IDF and groups linked to the IDF. They're funding war criminals. Let's take let's take our attention away from Israel and look back home. Every single one of these companies are run by Zionists. Every single one of them. They've all donated to Trump because if they get in his good graces, Trump will let them do whatever they want. Trump loves letting billionaires do whatever they want. In fact, that's why only five companies control 90% of The US media market. It's true. That doesn't include social media, but we'll get to that in a second. Five companies, none of The US outlets are willing to call it a genocide or call out Israel's crimes. That's because their editorial boards are controlled by Zionists. This is not some conspiracy theory. It's factual. You cannot go to CNN, let alone any conservative site. But CNN, Reuters, Washington Post, New York Times, none of them none of them are calling it genocide. They're all covering up. They're all playing the propaganda game for Israel. Now let's turn our attention to the social media because that's not included in the 90%. We have the top three, the big three, Meta, X, and TikTok. And TikTok's an interesting case. But first of all, Meta blacklist pro Palestinian activist. I'm blacklisted on Meta for my free speech criticizing Israel. They've also hired hundreds of ex IDF soldiers from the intelligence unit, unit a two hundred, to run their moderation team. That's why this is all happening. They put Zionists in charge of their free speech policy. That's similar to what TikTok has done. They got lobbied by the ADL. They were pressured by the US government, surely, by this bipartisan bill to ban TikTok because of hosting anti Israel content like mine and many people, to hire an ex IDF soldier and put her, Erica Mendel, in charge of their hate speech policy, which she changed, and those changes went into effect on September 13. Since then, every single one of my videos criticizing Israel, making connections, talking about how literally, everything I'm talking about in this video, that's what has been getting pulled off the For You page or just getting banned out right now. The censorship is super ramped up, they're trying to sell TikTok US to Larry Ellison, who is the CEO of Oracle, the one who runs the data centers. You know, Larry Ellison once offered Netanyahu a seat on the board of Oracle. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. They're buds. They're like that. He's gonna con he's a Zionist, magabillionaire. Right? Whatever. And he's going to censor everyone once he owns it. So we got two things for TikTok. Met we covered MetaX. Elon Musk, he banned his own chatbot, Grok, when it started telling people there was genocide in Gaza. He's disgusting, and, you know, obviously, he took the money from Israel to run propaganda ads. So that's just great. That covers about everything. Welcome to The United States Of Israel, guys. Welcome to The United States Of Israel. We haven't even touched we haven't even touched on what our government has done under Biden. They arrested 3,200 student activists and professors who protested the genocide peacefully on college campuses, calling on their schools to divest their massive endowment funds worth billions from all these complicit companies I'm telling you about right now. But the schools wouldn't do it. They wouldn't do the right thing and stand with humanity. And, you know, there's a lot you can talk about under Biden. He, conducted most of this genocide, oversaw the destruction of every single one of Gaza's hospitals, amongst other things, while lying about a ceasefire even though he never pressured Israel for a ceasefire once. Now Trump, you know, he ramps it up even more, and they're talking about taking away US citizens' passports if you criticize the state of Israel. They are deporting student activists like Mahmoud Khalil, who, you know, is pro Palestinian. He stands in solidarity with them. They're pulling funding from schools that allow allow anti Israel or pro Palestinian protests that are peaceful. They're pulling funding. Both parties were involved in passing that bill to ban TikTok, which has led us to where we are now with Larry Ellison. So, you know, we can we can blame both parties for that. Let's look at the parties a little more closely, though, and who funds them. APAC. APAC spent over 100,000,000. They're just one part of the massive prosely lobby. They spent 100,000,000 and elected into power a super majority of Zionists into congress. They supported a super majority of Zionists in 2024 and got them elected. Almost every single one except like two, I believe. That's why no one in government is gonna say no to giving Israel as many weapons as they ask for. That's why they're gonna do everything they want to to suppress criticism of Israel, do all these things that I just described, enable these companies to make a bag off the Palestinian genocide? Why do only 20 of our 435 congress members say it's genocide when half of American voters are saying it's genocide? And just look at the Democrat party, what is it? 77% of their base says it's genocide? 92% of their base wants to stop sending weapons to Israel? And yet they can't even they can't even criticize Israel. The party won't stop weapons to Israel. They won't even vote on that policy on their platform. This is a pretty good picture, like, the wide view of what is happening. You have all the billionaires aligned with Israel, whether they be Christian or Jewish Zionist. You have every single big tech company supporting Israel in some way, fueling the systems they are using to commit genocide, taking money for propaganda. You have all our media institutions doing the same thing and running cover for them. And you have all of our politicians as well. This isn't some conspiracy theory. This is real life. You have to admit that there might be there might be a problem when you have four and a half percent of congress saying genocide while 50 plus percent of American voters are saying it's genocide. What's going on? We've lost our sovereignty. It's not a joke. It's not hyperbole. We go to war against Iran on Israel's behalf. We change our laws prevent criticism of Israel. We're trying to ban boycotting Israel to throw American citizens in jail. The DOJ has been given the power to denaturalize anyone they see fit and explicitly those who are critical of the state of Israel. This is this is great. Trump also threatened to not do a deal with Canada because they're recognizing Palestine. We're sanctioning the international courts. We're threatening to pull out of the UN if they kick Israel out. Both of us on the left and right need to unite and rid Zionist influence out of America. This is insane. They don't care about what we think. They don't care about our interests or our human morals or the fact it's our tax dollars funding all of this. Every single one of these genocide profiteers must be held accountable. Our politicians, the companies, and the billionaires. You can support my work by clicking the link in my bio, which will let you subscribe to my Substack. Thank you and free Palestine.

APAC is ostensibly a group of Americans who lobby on behalf of Israel, and they're very effective. As a candidate, they wanted me to do homework for them on Israel. When I refused, they suggested I copy Rand Paul's paper. I may be the only Republican in Congress who hasn't done homework for them. They tried to get to me through churches, using organizations like Christians United for Israel to co-opt evangelicals. After I was elected, they ran ads against me, so I banned them from my office. This cycle, they spent $400,000 against me. I think they're afraid of one person speaking the truth. They've called me a bigot and an anti-Semite, which is disgusting. I'm not anti-Semitic, but I don't like APAC. They should be registered with FARA, like anyone lobbying for a foreign government. Many Republicans agree with me privately but fear the backlash. Everyone has an "APAC person" they talk to, which is crazy. No other country has this kind of influence.

Speaker expresses disbelief at why Netanyahu—"an absolutely disgusting warmonger, who has dragged us into terrible wars, who is committing massive war crimes"—gets 57 standing ovations in the US Congress. He asks if the causes are "the APAC lobby, the Israel lobby? Well, partly," "Is it blackmail by Israel? Because there's no doubt a lot of credible claims of Epstein and more about blackmail," "Is it direct bribes?" "Is it fear of American politicians?" "Is it the mainstream media, which for a lot of reasons owned by a lot of billionaires that tend to be rather arted Zionists?" "Is it the larger Christian Zionist vote base, which is also a real thing?" He says, "none of it really adds up." "it's not in America's interest" to be "isolated in the world together with a murderous rogue state." He calls Israel "the most lawless state in the whole world right now," "at war in seven fronts." He notes UN exposure: "the UN... Israeli politicians come and they yell at the whole rest of the world," while "the US representative says, yes. Yes. We we are with Israel." Finally: "first, it's disgusting. Second, it is no rational basis. And third, if it is the money, the lobbying, the mass media propaganda, the really strange beliefs of some people, whatever it is, even all of that, doesn't add up because a president of The United States should be able to figure this out a little bit better."

The speaker believes 95-99% of Congress should be tried for treason for allowing Israel and its money to control everything in the United States. They claim the U.S. does not have control over itself because Congress is controlled by a foreign nation that does not have America's best interests in mind. The speaker cites a vote to cut $500 million from going to Israel, alleging it goes towards bombing kids, and claims 455 people voted to keep it, while only six voted against it. Marjorie Taylor Greene is praised for opposing the funding.

If the Epstein files reveal Israel's prime role in a blackmail ring involving child sex trafficking, would you release them? Exposing this could halt aid money and redefine our view of Israel, possibly seeing them as our greatest threat, surpassing even the Soviet Union's subversion during the Cold War. The core question is whether Cash Patel and Pam Bondi will risk exposing a foreign nation's espionage, even if it implicates a supposed ally. I'm addressing the question about whether to release these files head-on. I am not anti-semitic, I judge people individually. Publicly available information and logic point to Jeffrey Epstein working for Israel, supported by Zionist Jewish billionaires who have devoted their lives to furthering Israeli interests.

Yesterday, I got the honor of meeting with prime minister Netanyahu as part of a special focus group for Christian conservative Gen Zers, and we were essentially addressing the concerns that we had. There's clearly been a growing divide. He wanted to know why. He wanted to understand where we were coming from. And to his credit, he did listen to us extremely attentively and took in a lot of what we were saying. APAC is not an Israeli organization. It has no ties whatsoever to the government of Israel. It's not foreign lobbying. It's a lobbyist group that happens to be lobbying for a certain group of people. I'm against APAC because I'm against lobbying. Israel is not offering to fund anybody. That has never happened. If you're concerned about this, who you should be concerned about is Qatar because they are doing this. They are going out and funding these universities and these political organizations. Many of these protests slash riots that you see destroying our cities, a lot of that has foreign funding from Qatar. I really hope some positive change comes out of it, and some people will do some more research rather than believing everything they see.

Bassem Youssef | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #521
Guests: Bassem Youssef
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Theo Von introduced Bassem Youssef, Egyptian-born comedian, writer, and former heart surgeon, now a political commentator in America. He rose to fame during Egypt’s 2011 revolution by making fun of state media, posting YouTube videos that drew millions of views and helped launch a nightly show watched by tens of millions. He left Egypt in 2014 after threats, lawsuits, and satellite jamming, finding a rocky entry into American comedy where language and rhythm posed new challenges. He describes years of hardship, doing short sets, and building his craft until a Piers Morgan appearance in 2015 or 2016 helped him reach a wider audience and led to more opportunities. The discussion pivots to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Bassem recounts his family connections—his wife is half Palestinian—and speaks about what he sees as a long arc of subjugation and displacement. He traces the roots of the modern crisis to the late 19th and early 20th centuries: European persecution of Jews, Zionist aims, British support via the Belfour Declaration in 1917, the promise of a homeland in Palestine, and the influx of Jewish immigrants who formed militias. He argues that Palestinians were living there in significant numbers before the declaration, describes 1948 as the moment of displacement for hundreds of thousands, and emphasizes that by 1967 Israel’s control extended over the West Bank and Gaza, creating an ongoing occupation. He condemns violence on both sides but argues that occupation shapes the daily life of Palestinians, with checkpoints, land seizures, and hostages, and he notes that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza intensified after October 7 and during repeated Israeli campaigns. On the political side, he accuses Western media of disproportionate coverage and cites what he says are misleading claims about Hamas versus Israel. He asserts that a foreign lobby, particularly APAC, influences U.S. politics, arguing that hundreds of millions of dollars fund campaigns to secure U.S. policy favorable to Israel, including large security aid numbers. He condemns this influence as undermining American democracy and serving foreign interests, while insisting that criticizing Zionism or Israel is not the same as anti-Semitism. He stresses that many Jews oppose certain Israeli policies and that dialogue should be allowed without fear of cancellation. Regarding solutions, Bassem advocates ending the occupation and treating all residents with equal rights, acknowledging the difficulty of any final settlement. He cites Oslo as a failed peace process and calls for a renewed commitment to human rights and open discussion. He ends with contact information and a note about ongoing tour dates and future appearances.
