DESCRIPTION: The United States of America hit a new low this week: they nominated a new Speaker of the House and his first act was to send more money overseas to fight foreign wars. Is that all we are now? A giant bank account to fight endless battles that do nothing but put our country more in debt? Plus, the fight in Israel has pushed the West back into a conversation on the limits of free speech. Independent Journalist, Lewis Brackpool, guests. Ben from Australian Talk joins as co-host as breakdown of the insane events taking place in America this week.

But unfortunately for the country and fortunately for my career, it keeps getting worse.
So I still have a job.
That is as long as we still have our countries.
And today we have a special trifecta.
We are uniting the United States, the UK, particularly England, and Australia together to look at the entire influence of what's going on with the Israel-Hamas conflict, how the West is ignoring its own problems, the attack on free speech, censorship, and so much more.
I'd like to welcome to the show for the first time, Lewis Brackpool, independent journalist.
So the U.S. obviously has been going through this turmoil behind the scenes.
People have no idea what the speaker of the house is.
They don't even know if we even need one.
People wanted to know whether Trump would be the Speaker of the House, whether that we would be picking Jim Jordan, who we'd be picking.
And of course, we settled on somebody.
The best choice.
And I'm going to tell you why it's the best choice because check this out.
Representative Mike Johnson, here we are.
Blessed are those who bless Israel.
And if you unless you look at it, we are at war with Russia.
People think we're not because it's a proxy war.
But we were looking for who was going to control Congress, who was going to take over the direction of government spending, who was going to take the helm.
And this is really important because whether you're familiar with American politics or not, everybody knows that where the U.S. goes, every other country is the U.S.'s bitch.
It's just it, you know, the U.K., Australia.
It's like we're the human centipede and America is the front.
Australia has their mouth to the ass.
I mean, sorry, UK has their mouth to the ass of America.
And then Australia just gets the shit from both countries and they just kind of, you know, do what they say.
But we have this new guy, Mike Johnson, who's put into power.
And as we're going to see here in a second, I want to go ahead and play a clip that's just so important as we get into this, which is going to be what he did as the Speaker of the House.
So he gets into power and we're going to begin the conversation here because this is absolutely.
So let me go ahead and share this here.
So his first resolution, he says, hey, I'm taking over the country.
Lewis, is it a shocker to you that as the U.S. finally figures out how to organize its government and they finally get someone who's going to be America first, care about the West, that the first resolution that he brings to the table is how we can send more.
I mean, I'm not shocked, but what do you think about this?
The thing is, we're seeing another Ukraine 2.0, right?
And I think it doesn't resonate with the American people from what I can see in terms of voter base.
A lot of people are really pushing forward with the America first styled policies.
But unfortunately, we're just not seeing that within government.
And it's kind of, I mean, I've heard the term rhinos being thrown around a lot.
I think that's probably the best way to describe this once again.
And it's kind of getting boring now because so many voters, so many ordinary Americans, people in the UK, of course, Australians as well, are so sick and tired of their country not putting their own citizens first.
And it's so of seeing it over and over again.
So I'm a non-interventionalist.
So when it comes to this conflict, I believe that we should completely pull out of the Middle East and just leave them to it.
That's my policy personally.
And I think we should mostly focus on rebuilding our nations once again.
Unfortunately, we're just not going to see that.
And it's almost theatrical now, which of course politics really is.
I mean, you know, Ben's, I know Ben's laughing because like, I think one of the important things is, is that like, okay, I love Keith Woods.
I'm not as like anti-Israel, pro-Palestine as Keith Woods.
And I like atheism's unstoppable.
I like Devin Tracy and I'm not all pro-Israel like he is.
But what I can say is this, is, you know, I know Ben's on this with me.
It's like, can we for once just get a politician in charge of the West that their priority is not a foreign country, that they're not controlled by Israel?
Like, can someone pretend at least, like, maybe make it your second resolution to send taxpayer money to Israel?
Because you know, and Ben and you, Lewis, know this, when the U.S. says we're going to send $60 billion, $40 billion to Israel, the UK goes, okay, we'll send $10 billion.
And Australia says we'll send $2 billion.
And it's basically just the population size.
They reduce the amount.
But like, I mean, come on, is this even, are they even trying to hide it, Ben?
Because I feel like this is a slap in the face of like, you know, maybe, maybe I'm not going to go full Joel Davis, like Zion, Zionist-occupied Zog government.
But like, if they're trying to convince the Joel Davis types that we are not controlled by Israel lobbies, they're doing a pretty damn bad job, right?
Yeah, Lewis, I wanted your opinion on this because I cannot, I can never stop enjoying how absolutely fecklessly retarded the United States foreign policy is person that exists in the world.
I would have brought her up, but the shittiest person I could think of is Amy Schumer.
And what's really interesting is that Amy Schumer, this is like one of the craziest things ever.
Like, literally, this bill going forward that's being presented right between Congress and Senate, Amy Schumer, the fat, ugly, leftist, feminist bitch, literally says, Senator Schumer, which is Chuck Schumer, again, is pushing a very fair bill that gives Israel the money that she needs to defend herself and provide ample funds to protect innocent civilians in Gaza.
Please call your senator to tell them to support it.
And no, he is not my dad.
That's probably the funniest thing she's ever said.
But what is insane to me is like the only thing that has brought Republicans together in their own party, the only thing that brought Republicans and Democrats together, and like I'm not even Benny Johnson where I look at the world like Republicans and Democrats.
Like, I understand it's a much larger, uh, you know, not a dichotomy, like this is a global thing.
Like, literally, funding for Israel brought together an evangelical bitch, Amy Schumer.
And like, they don't agree on anything, but what they are agreeing on is that Israel needs money.
And the second part was that I thought was the weirdest part.
And I'm still going to stay to this: we found out that Israel is a girl.
So, you know, she needs her money.
I mean, like, it am I going crazy or does this feel like there's a bigger coordination?
Like, there's something else going on, Lewis, because like there's no other way I can explain this.
I mean, like, okay, this is actually funny because we slightly offensive, right?
We go back and forth between like shit streaming.
But of course, if you're new to this show, you'd know I work for the Gateway Pond.
I used to work for The Blaze.
I do a lot of journalistic work.
And I always say that the line between shit posting and real journalism is like pretty much invisible at this point.
Like, I sometimes don't know when I'm doing one or the other.
Sometimes I go out to make a dumb episode and I find myself like coming up with some of the most incredible discoveries, study corruption, and I end up just realizing that we are fucked, okay?
And there's not going to be a way out of this.
But I'd like to wish that there was a silver lining here.
It's like, I mean, Ben, is there something good in this?
Like, is there anything good out of the West being so dedicated to proxy wars and wars overseas?
Well, there's nothing better than a war, which the government says is a just war.
It's the right war.
And unfortunately, there'll be collateral damage, but we're killing people for the right reasons because we're killing bad guys.
And if a few good guys get wrapped up in that as well, well, that's just war.
And ultimately, we're trying to attempt to wipe out people with an ideology that is in opposition to that of the preferred ideology, according to our governments.
I think the saddest aspect of it is, regardless of how we feel, much like Lewis was saying, we're just over the wars.
We're over the body counts.
We don't feel it's necessary for our peoples to have to go there and resolve the conflicts of peoples who have been unable to resolve the conflicts over multiple centuries.
We can understand that this is leading nowhere very fast.
And when it does lead somewhere, it can potentially explode and then bring in more people from around the world.
And that's something we'd hope to avoid.
But our governments are assuring us it's okay.
We can provide funding.
That funding will be used to kill the bad guys, the bad guys only, and it's for the right reasons.
So what's crazy is I never thought that people in the West still did this.
But Representative Thomas Massey decided to do something apt support for Israel.
He decided to read the bill and not make a joke of this.
And he came out very level-headed.
So it isn't all lost in terms of not everybody has bitten off the bullet here.
But he said, I condemn the barbaric attack on Israel and I affirm Israel's right to defend itself.
It's crazy we even have to say that, but you do because people assume if you're criticizing Israel today that you're an anti-Semite, that you hate Jews.
I think I have a good example of this.
There's actually a pretty funny meme that I want to bring up here that is like, where is it?
Ah, you know, maybe I don't.
No, no, I'm not going to, I don't think I'm going to bring this up.
But it is the joke of the fact that like it basically says, you know, oh, hey, I don't think we should be killing babies and it shows them dead babies.
And it's like, oh, so you're an anti-Semitic.
Basically, the response is he says here is like, look, I have to clarify, I don't hate Jews.
And that shows how disingenuous the other side is in this argument because this, or at least no one's serious.
No one's arguing whether Israel has the right to defend itself.
What we're saying is, look, I'm not voting for House Resolution 771.
And here's why he said he's not doing it.
I'll summarize it because it calls for sanctions.
He says, number one, and then the only people who get prosecuted for that are Americans.
Like, you can't really take foreigners to court.
They do it, but it doesn't work.
Number two, he says that it asserts the necessity of foreign aid commitments, which he voted against, meaning once again, says that the West is responsible for other nations' wars.
Like we're responsible, we have to commit our money.
Three, it contains an open-ended promise of military support that is so broad, it could be interpreted to commit U.S. soldiers.
We know they want that.
And four, it tends to broaden the conflict to other countries when it would be better if the war were contained geographically.
And I bring this up because, you know, when they say American soldiers involved, that is always the United Kingdom and that is always Australia because of NATO.
I mean, we do take, you know, a good amount of our people.
I think isn't England in charge of NATO right now?
Don't they run?
Aren't they like the directors of NATO at the moment?
Yeah, I think that they're reserved, but I just want to go on this statement here.
It's crazy.
That like, while everyone's talking about should we or should we not support Israel, Thomas Massey saying, like dude, maybe it's not the West responsibility to be using our tax dollars to fight wars and secondly, we can't be signing laws that can be broadly, you know, interpreted to sacrifice our people.
And he's saying this, and you know what?
He gets no airtime.
I have not seen him on FOX NEWS.
Nobody's retweeting this, nobody's talking about this.
It's like the one voice of reason is getting shut down and he's not being allowed to speak.
I just got to wonder, it's like you know, why is it that American Uk, all these politicians will side with Amy Schumer before they would like like, like Massey, who's literally warning us, hey, this could cause World War III.
Nobody cares, though.
I mean, is it intentional?
Is it the WAR, THE WAR machine to get us to get involved?
Is this really all a collusion?
Or is it just the fact that we are so?
You know, it's such a machine working on its own like basically, it just it's its own breathing machine, like what?
What do you think is going on here?
unidentified
Because this is, I mean, i'm heated because it's pissing me off.
I think there are certain tactics that are used in order to get people uh to pay attention.
For example, you mentioned about Amy Schuma.
A lot of people would rather now listen to a celebrity unfortunately, than a politician.
I mean, let's be honest, I mean both of them aren't exactly great um to be taking advice from um.
I want to go back as well, and you mentioned about how we have to always condemn uh when we're brought to attention some kind of uh particular uh subject.
I think that my theory on is we don't have free speech anymore, because if you have free speech, you know exactly what people think.
You're open to to discuss your ideas, you're open to just tell people how you feel about a situation, not not having to worry about repercussions, right?
So my theory on that is we've gone so far down this route of whether it be cancel culture, whether it would be um, a sort of a nihilistic, anti-free speech, sort of tunnel vision.
We're now, we're now at a point where we don't know what people think.
We're actually almost worried uh, in case someone might say the wrong opinion quote unquote, and i've seen it from journalists, i've seen it from mainstream broadcasters that they're they have to almost knee-jerk and almost ask immediately, well, do you condemn so-and-so?
Do you condemn so-and-so um, when really it's kind of like a well, terroristic attacks?
Everyone condemns terrorists in general.
Of course they do um, And it's just.
It's just fascinating how the media class has been going down this route of just the same old shit.
And it's just it's just so boring to me.
But I don't know.
I think because there are a lot of powerful people within the US government, there's a lot of people that we won't know the names of that will be, of course, be the heads of foreign policy, be the ones actually really driving America towards particular interests.
So it's a difficult one, really, isn't it?
And there's so many layers to it.
But yeah, man, there's so much to go in regards to that.
Ben, I'm going to go to you in a second, but I want to let people know if you're watching this right now on Rumble, if you're watching this on YouTube or X, this is a larger podcast that is extended.
We're going to be continuing to talk about this, about censorship, about a few other things, including the preparedness of how maybe making the whole countries, our countries fat and gay is not exactly the best preparation for a global conflict and being prepared for a war.
Just my two cents.
