Thus, Thus, Trump's assertions that Palestinians would be thrilled to move out of Palestine and that other Arab states would be willing to accept them bear no resemblance to reality.
The strong attachment of most Palestinians to their homeland, despite the miserable conditions in Gaza, has been demonstrated by the determination of internally displaced families to return to North Gaza.
During the current ceasefire, despite awareness, many of their homes had been had been turned to rubble as for acceptance by other Arab states.
When Trump last month suggested Palestinians should go to Egypt or Jordan, both states strongly rejected the idea.
Both have compelling reasons involving their own internal security and domestic politics, in addition to repugnance over the injustice to the Palestinians.
Meanwhile, Trump has signed an order of imposing sanction on the ICC on behalf of Israel.
Trump has signed an executive order to oppose sanctions on the International Criminal Court over its investigations into Israeli war crimes.
Trump sanctioned officials of the Hague-based court during his first term in office over an ICC investigation into war crimes.
Committed by all sides, including the U.S., in Afghanistan.
The Biden admin reversed Trump's sanctions in 2021 and collaborated with the court against Russia, but opposed the ICC issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for their role in the genocidal war.
The ICC also sought warrants for three senior...
Hamas official for their role in October 7th, but the three have already been killed by Israel.
In his order, Trump accused the ICC of engaging in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting American or close ally Israel.
The President referenced previous preliminary investigation into the U.S. and Israel, which didn't go anywhere, and said the ICC, Trump said the ICC has no jurisdiction over the U.S. or Israel, since neither country is a member of the court.
However, the state of Palestine, which consists of the Israeli-occupied West Bank in Gaza, became a member in 2015, and the warrants are related to war crimes that happened there.
The order said the U.S. would impose tangible and significant consequences on those responsible for ICC transgressions, some of which may include blocking of property and assets, as well as suspension of entry into the U.S. of ICC officially employees and agents, as well as immediate family members.
Trump also referenced the 2002 American Servicemen Protection Act, named the Hague Invasion Act.
Which authorized the U.S. to use all means necessary to free U.S. or allied government officials or military detained on behalf of the ICC. Since the U.S. has supported Israel's destruction in Gaza, any legal action against Israeli officials implicates the U.S., which is why the Biden admin is also strongly opposed to the ICC's effort of the genocide case at the International Court of Justice.
Meanwhile, and this is now from Russia Today, Washington is punishing the Hague-based court for issuing charges against Israeli political leaders.
The order states the ICC targeting of Israeli officials has set a dangerous precedent by exposing Americans to harassment, abuse, and possible arrest, thereby endangering them.
How that follows is beyond me.
The ICC, without a legitimate basis, has asserted jurisdiction over and open preliminary investigations concerning personnel of the U.S. and certain of its allies, including Israel.
Trump's executive order will enforce financial and visa-related restrictions on individuals and immediate families of those who support ICC investigations in a sentence of the U.S. or its allies.
The ICC has been praying for a swift assault from the new U.S. administration, The Guardian reported last month, citing sources within the organization.
Measures could affect the ICC's access to banking and payment system, IT infrastructure, and insurance providers.
It could also paralyze the court's work and pose an existential threat to its functioning, which no doubt would overjoy Israel.
Earlier this month, the House of Representatives voted to impose sanctions that would cancel U.S. visas and place financial restrictions on any ICC official prosecuting U.S. allies.
This is just so corrupt.
The court has accused Netanyahu and Gallaud of using starvation as a method of warfare in Gaza.
As well as deliberately depriving the enclave civilian population of essential supplies such as food, water, and medicine without any obvious military necessity, Washington says the ICC lacks jurisdiction over Israel since it is also not a signatory to the Rome Statute.
Last year, however, the U.S. praised Karim Khan, the same ICC prosecutor, requested arrest warrants against Israeli leaders when he brought charges against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Moscow, likewise, is not a party to the agreement establishing the court.
Joaquin.
Again, we're living in an inverse world where up is down and down is up.
Good is bad, and bad is good.
You know, it's just unbelievable that they ethnically cleanse, i.e.
murder and genocide, and then go after a criminal court internationally recognized for bringing the perpetrators to justice in Israel.
They should extend it to Washington, D.C., and then they go after them.
It's just a double insult to all people with any kind of moral intelligence whatsoever.
So yeah, they're rubbing it in the world's face.
And are we going to just simply take it and take it and take it?
Or is there going to be pushback where finally justice is served?
That's the big question mark.
Notwithstanding my service as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, I have never been more ashamed of the United States than I am today.
This is disgraceful.
Brian.
The International Criminal Court was set up post-Nuremberg to prosecute war crimes.
Kareem Kahn is their chief prosecutor as of 2021. And he's prosecuted crimes in Iran and Iraq as well.
So you can't argue that he's not fair.
He's a British citizen.
But what's interesting about the International Criminal Court is that it has no bailiffs and it has no military that it commands.
So it has no power to enforce its judgments except to pressure the countries that are signatories of the International Criminal Court to join in.
On their decisions.
Now, the question about this is whether or not Kareem Kahn was, it was the Trump's executive order or what Trump's executive order did, but basically what it did was put a travel ban on Kareem Kahn and others, not allowing them to enter any of the other countries lest there be ramifications or they could be arrested by those other countries.
So they're basically saying Kareem Khan at the International Criminal Court, because he's prosecuting the Israelis for war crimes, needs to be arrested if he travels into one of the other countries that's not a signatory to the International Criminal Court. needs to be arrested if he travels into one of Remember the International Criminal Court was also pressured to go after Putin, so the pendulum does swing both ways.
Now, just to sort of balance out how long this has been around, there was a Discovery Channel three-hour documentary called Behind the Hatred.
You might still be able to find it.
But the Zionists, again, that's it.
Sort of semi-elite wing of the Israelis.
Went into Palestine in 1917 and shot over 11,000 innocent Palestinian men, women, and children in cold blood as a sign of force because the land was going to be taken.
The Zionists since 1920 have displaced over 750,000.
Men, women, and children, they've murdered tens of thousands more and tortured more than 300,000 since 1948, according to the New York Times.
Every time the Palestinians have tried to fight back, the Israelis have used the propaganda machine to label them as terrorists.
But who are the real terrorists?
The Red Cross in Jerusalem.
Gave a shocking account of the Palestinian massacre in its official report from 1917. And basically, De Rainier is the guy who wrote the report for the Red Cross.
He arrived at the village on the second day and saw the mopping up of the blood as one of the Israeli terrorists put it to him.
It had been done with machine guns, then grenades, and was finished off with knives.
The Jews decapitated some of the victims and fatally maimed 52 children in the sight of their mothers.
They cut open 25 pregnant women's wombs and butchered the babies in front of them.
And the source is the report from 1950 D. Rayner J., Chief Representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Jerusalem.
So, isn't this an interesting situation of the pot?
Calling the kettle black here in this particular situation, and it doesn't indicate how unfair it is for the Americans, who are supposedly on the moral high ground, to try to exercise this particular type of limitation on Kareem Khan, the prosecutor under this situation.
I think it's truly indicative.
Of a depraved position that has been bought and paid for by a Zionist encampment that has access to vast untold storehouses of wealth to accomplish their goal.
And I think that Trump is just simply playing politics in the sense that he's got to respond to the $100 million that he took from the Adelsons in order to allow the...
Israelis to shut up and not use their propaganda machine to try to destroy them a second time.
The hypocrisy and the profundity of the moral corruption here displayed by the United States and Donald Trump boggles the mind.
Disgusting.
Here we have USA turned offs.
Suddenly, Politico can't pay their employees.
Gee, I wonder why.
For some reason, Politico, far-left media company was unable to pay their entire staff, coming on the heels of USAID being turned off.
Could these two be connected?
Just like a coincidence?
Was Politico being brought up by the government via USAID? Oscar Binovich.
Politico received $8.1 million in just the last year from agencies across the government, including HHS, Department of Interior, Energy, USDA. Most of the funding appears to be covering subscription costs for government employees.
Pfizer turns out to be number two in the list of top USAID contracts in 2024. The far left would have you believe Trump and Musk are going to bring about the end of the world by dismantling USAID after all.
How heartless can they be?
To shut down charity money?
Well, this might not fit your narrative, but guess it was number two on the list of top corporation contacts with USAID in 2024. Good old Pfizer.
That's according to the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
Which is the leading professional medical association in the United States.
97% of political contribution from USAID employees went to Democrats.
Political contribution of employees at the U.S. Agency for International Development went almost entirely to Democrats, according to a daily wire analysis.
In the 2024 election side, U.S. aid staff made a total of 406,790 in political contribution, more than half.
241,079 went to former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Only 999 bucks, a quarter of a percent, went to President Donald Trump.
In all, just over 377,097 percent went to Democrats.
While 12,740 Republicans open secrets.
In fact, all political donations of USAID employees have taxing candidates over 200 bucks via data from the Federal Election Commission.
Trump admin is in the process of rolling aid into the State Department, making Secretary of State Rubio acting administrator.
Rubio said his frustration with the agency's insubordination go back to his time in Congress.
We would ask questions.
Who does this program fund?
Who gets the money?
And not get a response.
These are taxpayer dollars, he added.
We owe the American people assurance every dollar we're spending abroad is being spent on something that furthers our national interest.
Rubio noted, a lot of functions of the agency will continue.
But they will be aligned with American foreign policy.
Thousands of U.S. aid staffers have been laid off since Trump took office.
A slew of programs have been shut down.
On Monday, U.S. aid staffers were told to stay out of the agency's headquarters where yellow police tape and officer blocked the entrance.
The agency website disappeared on Saturday.
Hundreds of aid employees were being locked out of the agency's computer systems on Sunday.
Get this, from Zebro Hedge.
Level of Democrat panic over Musk freezing USAid unlike anything ever seen.
A Democrat Party insider said the level of panic over President Trump and Elon Musk dodge freezing all USAids panting is unlike anything he's ever seen.
The source described the development as a killing blow to the heart of the deep state.
Talk to a friend.
God's connection with the Democratic Party is that the level of panic over Trump and Elon shutting down USAID is unlike anything he's ever seen.
By pulling the money, Dodgers stuck a killing blow to the heart of the Democrat deep state machine.
The insider said, so reliant on USAID funding schemes for Democrats to ram through their agenda, this is the equivalent of a 9-11 scale attack upon them.
Here's aesthetic, a direct quote.
This is worse than 9-11 for Democrats.
U.S. aid is the primary vessel they used to achieve their political agenda.
U.S. aid is, as it always has been, the primary source of funding for their influence-peddling schemes and for their indirect sources of income.
The insider describes the takedown of U.S. aid and Trump's biggest victory thus far.
Another text.
Well, the way I look at this, it does expose the Democratic Party behind U.S. aid and all the corruption going into what?
Propping up all the largest left-wing Marxist media corporations like the New York Times, the Washington Post, Reuters, Bloomberg, Associated Press.
They're all getting money from USAID. And what is USAID? It's a funneling source from the taxpayers.
The U.S. taxpayers are paying to prop up the Marxist...
Mainstream media that has been losing viewers and readers over the recent years because all they do is tell lies.
So this is like, okay, everybody can agree.
This is bad.
It's very corrupt.
But I just wrote an article that I sent you last night.
It hasn't been posted yet, but it's basically saying...
If the controllers of both sides, the left and the right, which they're very good about this divide and rule concept, own both of them, then this is all, yes, it's good, but at the same time,
if the end road is a Zionist takeover and basically a complete, you know, complete dictatorship of Technocratic tyranny, whether it's the left or the right in charge, it doesn't matter because that's the same end road that the controllers of these left and right are taking us on.
And that needs to be the bigger picture here.
This is all to get all the MAGA idiots out there to support Trump.
Despite what he's doing with the Palestinians.
Despite the movement toward one world government.
Because that's the road we're on.
So we have to see the bigger picture.
Yeah, all this bad, you know, they're paying for basically Bill Gates.
They're paying for George Soros, CIA. Regime change operations, that's what U.S. aid's been up to for the last 20, 30 years.
Yes, that's bad.
But if the end road is the same, where we're living under this Zionist technocratic dictatorship, then what's the point of all this?
So we have to maintain our eye on the bigger picture.
So that's my take.
Excellent, Brian.
Yeah, it's probably appropriate to...
Yeah, we get the stories in advance, so we get to do a little bit of research.
I found an article by Celia Farber on her Celia Farber Substack where there was a commenter that was basically a whistleblower that had worked in connection with USAID. And it might take a minute here, but I'm going to read this comment because I think it gives us a lot of insight into what's really happening.
She says, USAID was a dumping ground for alcoholic former CIA employees with nasty hobbies, State Department employees, washed up agricultural consultants, academics somebody owed something to, and potential intelligence analysts and CIA recruits. academics somebody owed something to, and potential intelligence analysts and I saw all of that during my time in the Peace Corps in Liberia.
After the Peace Corps, Liberia, she was in Liberia from 85 to 87. She spent six months helping former USAID mission director's wife weed the libraries collection, the USAID libraries collection, for the first time in 30 years to remove seminal USAID project documentation from public view.
She goes on to tell the story about basically how they split the library into two so they knew where to direct the good guys and the bad guys.
She says, a couple of my PC friends went to work for USAID.
I told them it was nothing but a full farce of corrupt people doing nothing but wasting taxpayer dollars.
And like the agriculture consultant I met at the USAID guest house in Monrovia, who was afraid to go outside for a fear that he would catch something and get sick.
So this is a worker who's afraid he's going to get sick.
A lot of times.
She goes on to tell the whole story, but basically she says, by the time I got home after Liberia, I refused to continue my degree ever to work overseas on the complete fiction of international aid.
Several of my fellow volunteers continued to be very successful in that, but knowing the insane level of corruption in quote-unquote international aid, I doubt they had any long-term impact.
She says to find a book called Road to Hell by Michael Marin.
It was written about Save the Children in Somalia by a former Peace Corps volunteer turned journalist.
But she says it could have been written about anybody.
She goes on to write that there are about 60 top financial elite families out of the 500 or so that are really behind all of USAID. And it's basically just a parasitic United States draw of the Of the federal currency events, federal currency bank.
So fundamentally, what she's saying is, as an insider, way back in 85 to 87, she found that the quote-unquote work of international aid was nothing but a money laundering scheme and a parking place for ex-drunk government employees who favors were owned to.
It doesn't shock me that U.S. aid is being gutted by Trump because it's sort of a low-hanging fruit, easy target.
But I suspect that if Doge is really doing what it claims to be doing, there'll be a lot of other organizations that end up being targeted by this.
It's my understanding that Trump just asked Elon Musk to bring on 45 new whiz kids to help the 17 to 20 that have been working on it.
And that was to assist with the Pentagon audit.
So if that gives you any scale of the size, 46 more, that's three times the size of USAID is the Pentagon budget that needs to be audited as well.
So it's going to appear that Trump is a hero, but whether or not he's really going to fundamentally change the structure, I think remains to be seen.
It might be just a show.
And I think other new tentacles to the octopus may very well break up or may very well pop up in time as these organizations' names end up with such a bad rap that they just simply decide to reform underneath some new charter and continue doing what they're doing.
Remember, Donald Trump only has so much power and whether or not he's really capable of...
Of gutting out the corruption that controls Congress.
I've noticed Fox News lately has certainly gone the other way in terms of I'm hearing a lot more criticism of Trump than I've ever been hearing before on the Fox channels.
And so I think that the media is beginning to break under the pressure and he's going to have to end up gutting those media outlets as well.
And hopefully he does.
Well, I do think he's going to, except for criticism of Israel, be good for free speech.
I think Elon Musk has turbocharged his efforts to clean up the government and is doing, in my opinion, a brilliant job.
This audit of the Pentagon is going to be sensational and is going to expose massive corruption beyond your wildest imagination.
And I think this is...
I think this is sincere in going after USAID, which I believe it correctly described as a Democrat's golden goose, is going to be enormously consequential.
Brian, before we take our break.
No, let's just go to the break.
We're over time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, well, Don miscalculated.
His video only had a 40-minute limit, so we had a break.
We had to readjust, but we're back and about to complete the show.
