84% of Americans, Bernie Sanders, and Thomas Massie agree. Don’t arm Israel unconditionally.
Also, don’t merge our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s… or any other country’s. I’ve submitted an amendment to strip section 224 (retitled section 219) from the NDAA.
In maybe my favorite podcast yet, a simple question with an uncomfortable answer: how does the United States keep talking itself into wars, and did it just do it again with Iran?
We were told that the case for hitting Iran was to stop it from building a nuclear weapon. But our own intelligence community didn't support that premise. The 2007 National Intelligence Estimate concluded with high confidence that Iran halted its weapons program in 2003. And in March 2025, the Director of National Intelligence testified to Congress that the IC "continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon." When asked about her testimony, the President said, "I don't care what she said."
I looked at parallels from three wars:
- Vietnam: the Gulf of Tonkin attack that justified escalation. The NSA's own declassified history concluded the second attack, the one that mattered, never happened.
- Iraq: Powell's vial at the UN, the mobile weapons labs. The key source was a known fabricator. No stockpiles were ever found.
- Libya: Gaddafi gave up his weapons program in 2003 in exchange for security. We helped topple him in 2011 anyway. A 2016 UK Parliament inquiry found the threat had been overstated and the intelligence thin.
Same playbook. The intelligence didn't drive the war, the war drove the intelligence.
So why did we really go in? That's the episode. My read, and I argue it carefully: when the stated reason doesn't survive the evidence, you look at the unstated ones, regional alliance pressure, domestic politics, and the simple momentum of a system where almost everyone with power benefits from the war and almost no one benefits from stopping it.
The deal being signed Friday is a page and a half. It leaves the entire nuclear question for later. Israel won't sign it. We may be looking at the greatest foreign diplomacy failure in this era.

The whole-of-government takeover by Israel is far worse than previously understood. America is handing over its most sensitive national security systems to Israel thru:
- presidential memo NSPM-12 (01:18)
- 5 Israel bills and (03:39)
- Pax Silica. (05:36)
This backdoor alliance floods US cyber, AI, crypto, and defense with Israeli tech, intel, and co-production while a known espionage powerhouse gains keys to the kingdom. (05:53)
Sovereignty is being sold out. Secrets are now at risk of total compromise.
A 19-year-old college student quietly turns down a job interview, stupidly telling the company it's because he doesn't want to work for a Jew.
Within two days:
-- The billionaire founder of one of the world's most powerful corporations (Palantir) demands that the company release his the student's to the world. The company instantly complies.
-- National media trumpet the incident and spread the student's name and face all over the place.
-- A senior Trump DOJ official repeatedly urges the public to notify him if that student is ever hired anywhere in the future, promising to use his office to keep the student permanently unemployable.
Adults with large, influential platforms -- pundits, media types, even elected officials -- right here on X routinely say things as bad as, and often much worse than, pretty much every other group you can think of without facing a single consequence let alone a completely unhinged coordinated campaign of very powerful people to run their lives forever:
And this is exactly how you lose younger male voters, actually a lot more than that demographic.
Send in police to haul off an actual American UFC Champion because he used his 1st amendment and criticized Israel.
Section 219 (was 224) of the NDAA contains a dangerous provision to integrate our military tech with Israel’s.
@RepRoKhanna & I submitted an amendment to strike 219. I included the Rules Committee roster here; 7 of 13 members must agree in order for our amendment to get a vote.
With Tulsi Gabbard's new revelations about US bio labs in many countries around the world including Ukraine, it's fascinating recall the bizarre series of events that gave rise to this controversy in the first place:
In May of 2022, some of us began asking whether the US had bio labs in Ukraine, what they were for, and why the US had them there. For asking those questions, we were instantly branded as "pro-Russian conspiracy theorists" in official Ukrainian intel reports, on our Wikipedia pages, by countless media outlets, etc. This was and remains one of the most bizarre episodes I've ever seen.
Before May 2022, when we asked those questions, barely anyone had ever thought about let alone asked about "bio weapons in Ukraine"! I certainly hadn't. Like most people, I had never mentioned a word about it because it had never occurred to me we had them there.
But then, Marco Rubio summoned Victoria Nuland to the Senate and asked her in a televised hearing under oath about these "rumors," clearly expecting her to immediately debunk them as obvious Kremlin lies and to proclaim the US had no such bio labs in Ukraine.
Instead, Nuland did the opposite! She *confirmed* key aspects of these "rumors," and she explicitly warned that the US has several "bio research labs" in Ukraine that are so dangerous that they must not be allowed to fall into Russia's hands.
When some of us heard Nuland's rather shocking admission -- the first-ever disclosure about these labs -- we of course asked: wait! what? Why does the US have bio labs in Ukraine, and what are the US and Ukraine doing in those labs that make them (in Nuland's eyes) so dangerous?? (Note: nobody ever suggested that the presence of these bio labs in Ukraine justified the Russian invasion; we just wanted answers about these US bio labs that Nuland had casually divulged).
We never got real answers. We got smear campaigns. To this day, our names are formally attached to claims that we spread "conspiracy theories" for asking about these labs even though it was Victoria Nuland herself who was the one who accidentally revealed them for the first time in a Senate hearing in response to a shocked Marco Rubio. They then quickly tried shutting down any questioning by pretending that Nuland never said this, and it was just a bunch of paid Kremlin mouthpieces who were spreading lies.
You see the same tactics now being against Tulsi for releasing this new intelligence report. Watch the Nuland testimony in question:
I saw that 6-8 companies registered in FARA for Israel within weeks of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. So, I did a deep dive on FARA and followed the money. It's worse than we thought...
We are all aware of the “Israel pays influencers" story. But that’s only 10% of the money.
8 companies registered in FARA in 2025. There are only 21 ever. So that’s more than 1/3 in one year to influence you.
Let’s follow the $ on how Israel is buying Americans
Israel's government spent $150M in 2025 and $730M for 2026, to move American opinion.
- $9M to Brad Parscale to flood Gen Z and reshape what AI says about Israel
- $900K to pay US influencers up to $7,000 a post, no disclosure, 25-30 posts a month
- $3.26M for a church campaign with a VR "October 7" trailer built to tour Christian colleges. They literally did a VR campaign to put people on the music festival field during the attack.
That's about $15M. Roughly a tenth.
The real money is in the fat blue pipes in the graphic, and none of it touches FARA:
~$52M paid straight to Google, YouTube and X for pro Israel / anti Palestine ads
~$40M to fly 400 pastors, influencers and lawmakers to Israel
- +$20M on a media war room, campus ops and lawfare
Why don't you see it? FARA only catches Americans hired to do politics. Ad buys and free trips don't qualify. So the filings everyone quotes were only ever going to show you the tip of the iceberg…intentionally.
And it all routes through one Havas ad office in Frankfurt, so the paperwork reads "Havas," not "Israel."
The influencers pushing Israel sympathy propaganda are getting paid $175k-$200k/ month. So next time someone tries and discredits you for posting facts about Israel or is sympathizing with these war criminals, just know they are either 1- being paid like the wh*res they are or 2- pathetic sheep falling for the paid propaganda
$500 per vote.
That’s what the Israeli lobby spent to beat me,
and they still couldn’t do it with factual ads, or even fake ads based on policy.
They ran with personal lies and AI videos to convince elderly voters I was sleeping with Ilhan Omar and AOC at the same time.
“Nobody here is buying lunch for tourists”
Straight up, if I hear people on line at chipotle this month speaking Japanese or German or whatever, I am buying them lunch.
Think how awesome it would be for visitors to return home and talk about American hospitality instead of how scared they were because their bullshit globonews scared them into thinking there’s a shooting on every sidewalk here.
Here’s the well in November 2024. It’s been leaking toxic brine into the ground for over 18 months. Now it’s also flowing oil. Chevron doesn’t care. The Texas Railroad Commission doesn’t care either.
The arrogance of the puppets in TPUSA is astounding. So, welcome to my series where I expose every single one of their shady entities. Let’s start with my favorite one, the entity that may hold the financial map to a timeline into the cracks of the org before CK’s assassination, Turning Point Endowment.
A little background for you: An endowment fund exists to help an organization when it has a bad year to ensure grants can still go out and the mission can be executed, but in 2023 TPUSA lost 41% of its assets. Interestingly enough, the endowment only sent $500k and instead locked $9M into private equity that nobody will name. This is what caused me to investigate the endowment and…well, get ready.
Highlights below: (this one took a few weeks but it’s worth it. Deep dive with sources is free on my Substack now. Link in bio)
→ The vault secretly owns TPUSA’s own headquarters building and is the landlord to its political arm at roughly $51K/yr on $8M of property. Charity money subsidizing partisan politics is the one thing the tax code flatly forbids.
They made this one a little difficult to figure out, but unfortunately for them, I’m very good at what I do.
→ The board expanded from 3 to 5 people just six months before Kirk’s death, (March 2025) with names the IRS has still never seen, in a transaction that wouldn’t surface in any public filing until 2027 if I hadn’t figured it out through other filings.
→ TPUSA claimed moving donor money into its own savings account as a “charitable accomplishment,” on their reports. This is the same category as the campus tours. But, that one entry actually just hid $11M of surplus from people who donate to these corrupt grifters.
→ It’s not an endowment. It’s 100% board-designated, and 0% legally restricted. Three people can spend all $70M tomorrow on anything they can call the mission. “Endowment” is the marketing word for tax purposes, but in reality it’s a war chest with no oversight.
→ The endowment ran real estate and private equity for years, then quietly rewrote the charter to allow it two years after the fact. This is another huge red flag and the charter was the cleanup.
The full investigation is up on my Substack (link in bio) with sources, charts, etc. If you’re reading this, Kolvet, Neff, Bowyer, Kirk, buckle up because this is just your appetizer.
Don’t let him fool you. Greg Abbott built this. He expanded the incentives that brought data centers flooding into Texas and let them grow for years with no guardrails and no say for the communities living next to them — and never once worried about it.
Now it’s an election year, and suddenly he “cares.” Read the letter: he’ll regulate the water, the noise, the wires — everything except whether your town gets to say no. The word never appears.
Here’s the real tell: he only started paying attention when he thought he might lose us. That’s how much the rural vote is worth. Don’t let him manipulate us into thanking him for a problem he created.
Local control was never on the table. Again. #txlege #ruraltx
