Once we have sane leadership again, then we can do it properly.

No such thing exists with the oligarchy-controlled duopoly.

We must always force politicians to do the bidding of the poor and working class.

Re-read, Bernie sheep dog Sanders is used to keep people in the Democratic Party. He is there to help gatekeep and crush independent working-class movements.

Who’s paying you?

This is a desperate and sad remark. We must do better than this.

We need to use our critical thinking muscles often, or else we fall into being apologetics and celebrity worshippers for politicians.

Dissenting views are vital for doing this.

We must always force politicians to do the bidding of the poor and working class; being cheerleaders hinders progress.

We must remember the basics:

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” – Frederick Douglass

    • Sabby argues this was a predictable outcome of a NATO/US proxy war, initiated with the 2014 coup.
    • "What's in it for them?" Answer: Profit for the military-industrial complex. The war is characterized as a money-laundering scheme where human lives are the cost.

    • She notes that Owens claims to have been contacted by the White House and Donald Trump, asking her to stop the Macron coverage to facilitate a Ukraine peace deal.
    • While acknowledging the gravity of the claim, Sabby finds it credible, asking what Owens would gain by lying given her already successful platform.

Yeah, I could have made it more compact. I include a generated summary when I can so peeps have a preview of what the video talks about.

My thought process for doing this is to make it easy for people to watch or ignore the post.

Very fitting title.

Zohran Sellout Mamdani, AOCIA, Bernie Sheep Dog Sanders, Drone King Obama, and Genocide Joe come to mind.

The Democratic Party is the pseudo-left, where the left goes to die, creating the new generation of gatekeepers and upholders of the status quo.


A bit of context, from the article, for the Hitler-Stalin Pact comparison:

The answer is to be found not in the armchair psychoanalysis of Jacobin, but in the class analysis of Marxism. The DSA speaks for privileged sections of the upper-middle class that are deeply opposed to a fundamental redistribution of wealth. It is not and has never been independent from the oligarchy and the state apparatus. Politically, it is a faction of the Democratic Party, a party of Wall Street and the military-intelligence agencies.

Indeed, a significant factor in the gushing of the DSA over Mamdani and his love fest with Trump is a feeling within these layers that Trump is not so bad after all. Dictatorship, fascism, genocide, mass deportation might just be ok if there is a little space for the upper-middle class pseudo-left.

There is precedent for this brand of “left” collaboration with the far right. In August 1939, Stalin’s Soviet Union signed the infamous Hitler-Stalin Pact, aligning with Nazi Germany in a temporary “non-aggression” agreement that disoriented millions of workers and helped pave the way for World War II. Today’s alliance between Mamdani and Trump flows from a similar logic. And within the DSA, and Jacobin in particular, there is a very strong influence of Stalinism.

As the WSWS wrote 10 years ago, following the experience of Syriza in Greece, answering the question, “What is the pseudo-left?”:

"The pseudo-left is anti-socialist, opposes class struggle, and denies the central role of the working class and the necessity of revolution in the progressive transformation of society. It counterposes supra-class populism to the independent political organization and mass mobilization of the working class against the capitalist system. The economic program of the pseudo-left is, in its essentials, pro-capitalist and nationalistic."

Mamdani’s actions once again demonstrate that the use of the term “pseudo-left” is not an epithet or a throw-away phrase, but a political and class characterization. There is nothing “left” about these forces.

Mamdani met with Trump as he was threatening to execute leading members of the Democratic Party, overseeing Gestapo immigration raids in Charlotte, presiding over the Gaza genocide and preparing to direct the military to violently repress protests. These are vast crimes with the most far-reaching implications, crimes in which the DSA is implicated as enablers.

The events of the past several days must be a turning point for all those who genuinely oppose fascism and dictatorship and want to fight for socialism.

The suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, worked for a CIA-backed “Zero Unit” known as the Kandahar Strike Force (KSF) or the “03” unit, which has been implicated in war crimes against Afghan civilians.

Lakanwal, 29, arrived in the US in September 2021 as part of a program called “Operation Allies Welcome,” which brought tens of thousands of Afghan nationals into the US during and after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, mainly people who worked with the US against the Taliban.

Lakanwal was granted asylum by the Trump administration earlier this year. His cooperation with the CIA has been confirmed by the spy agency’s director, John Ratcliffe, who said Lakanwal worked “with the US Government, including CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar.”

Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported in 2019 that Afghan members of the Zero Units “have been responsible for extrajudicial executions and enforced disappearances, indiscriminate airstrikes, attacks on medical facilities, and other violations of international humanitarian law, or the laws of war.”

We are born into propaganda; if you continue to learn and question the status quo, you will one day also change your political views.

We must stop being apologetic and celebrity worshippers for governments and politicians.

Investigative journalists have done the work of helping leak vital information; we must not fear to learn and to critically think for ourselves.

We must continue to force all politicians to do the bidding of the poor and working class.

A continuation of desperate and sad arguments...

Y'all really don't have much to say; you just go for smears so you won't have to think too much.

Independent journalists exist, leaks exist. Come on, people, we must try and do better.

They, as in the oligarchy-controlled mainstream media, the duopoly, and politicians. It is not that hard to figure it out; I keep to the same points and try to keep it simple and direct so misunderstandings are less frequent.

Thanks for the chat! We are learning and expressing our views, even when we don't agree!

[–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago (4 children)

They say the same about Hamas starting the war on Oct. 7th...

The past forgotten...

I guess you think the same about Feb 24th, 2022.

We must not forget the past.

Dissident views are important; they help build and keep our critical thinking muscles.

We must always question our governments and politicians; they are bought and owned by the oligarchy.

Again, wars and proxy wars are for laundering profits and taking the important natural resources, while the poor and working class are massacred.

Here ya go, work out your brain a bit:

Lyrics:

  1. I mourned the Tiananmen martyrs
  2. Whose free speech was so brutally quelled
  3. And I cheered when Mandela walked freely
  4. After so many years in a cell
  5. But mister Assange can rot in prison
  6. Those secrets were not his to tell
  7. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
  8. I attend sensitivity trainings
  9. And I leave feeling so reassured
  10. I love Oprah and Magic and Foreman
  11. It’s great seein’ blacks become entrepreneurs
  12. The economy’s become so inclusive
  13. Revolution would just be absurd
  14. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
  15. I cheered when Obama was chosen
  16. My faith in the system restored
  17. And I'll never forgive Ralph Nader
  18. For the race he stole from Al Gore
  19. And I love hard-working Latinos
  20. As long as they don't move next door
  21. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
  22. Something happened to working class voters
  23. They’ve disgraced America’s name
  24. Someone’s controlling the way that their minds work
  25. And Vladimir Putin’s the man who’s to blame
  26. But if you think you can win Single Payer
  27. You must be completely insane
  28. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
  29. I listen to All Things Considered
  30. I’d consider anyone’s views
  31. I watch Colbert and Rachel Maddow
  32. I use irony in everything I do
  33. But when Trump set his sights on Maduro
  34. There was no one more red, white and blue
  35. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
  36. I vote for the Democratic Party
  37. They’re strengthening NATO command
  38. I saw Bono at the Live Eight Concert
  39. I’d buy anything endorsed by his brand
  40. We’re gonna make poverty history
  41. I’m on Facebook, taking a stand!
  42. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
  43. Sure once I was young and impulsive
  44. I wore every conceivable pin
  45. I fought for a socialist future,
  46. Which I actually thought we could win
  47. Ah, but I've grown older and wiser
  48. And that's why I'm turning you in
  49. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

The poor and working class, which includes Russians and Ukrainians.

Ukraine is just another proxy war for profits and plunder. It has been done before in West Asia (Middle East), Africa, Latin America...

Again, War is for profit; it does not help the poor and working class.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world -4 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Feel free to continue grasping at straws to justify another US-backed forever war where the working class continues to die so our oligarchs' quarterly profits continue to increase and they take all the important natural resources.

It seems we will not agree on this issue, but thanks for the comments and the replies; it is much better than just up- or down-voting!

Video Analysis & Timestamps

Summary: Sabby Sabs analyzes a CNN report on President Trump's proposed 28-point peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war. She argues that the plan's terms confirm that Ukraine has lost the war, a fact she claims Western media has deliberately obscured. She frames the conflict as a NATO/US proxy war, initiated by the 2014 coup, and driven by the profit motives of the military-industrial complex.

Detailed Timestamps & Commentary

0:00 - 0:09 - Intro & Host's Reaction

  • Sabby introduces the topic with a clip of Trump saying, "If Zelenskyy doesn't accept the peace deal, he can fight his little heart out."
  • Her immediate reaction, "Oh boy. Here we go," sets a critical and skeptical tone for the analysis to follow.

0:10 - 1:14 - News Clip: The G20 & Trump's Peace Plan

  • A CNN report outlines that world leaders are meeting to discuss ending the war and formulating a response to Trump's "widely criticized as pro-Russia" 28-point plan.
  • The clip includes a soundbite from a German official emphasizing the high stakes for Europe if Ukraine loses.
  • It notes that Trump insists the plan is "not his final offer" and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Envoy Steve Whit are involved in talks.

1:17 - 2:46 - Host's Initial Argument: "Ukraine Never Had a Chance"

  • Sabby directly challenges the German official's statement, calling it "misleading."
  • Her Core Thesis: "I've been saying this from day one... Ukraine knew that... they did not have a chance against Russia."
  • She reframes the conflict's origin, pointing to the 2014 coup as the true starting point, which she alleges was implemented by the US and NATO.
  • She references broken agreements like the Minsk Accords and the post-Berlin Wall promise that NATO would not expand eastward.
  • Conclusion: "This is a NATO proxy war."

2:49 - 4:05 - News Clip: Analyzing the 28-Point Plan

  • CNN's Kevin Lipak continues, detailing the intensive diplomacy and Trump's Thursday deadline.
  • He confirms that many view the plan as a "Russian wish list."

4:05 - 4:53 - Host Breaks Down the "Russian Wish List"

  • Sabby reads key points from the plan, interpreting them as proof of Ukraine's defeat:
    • Ceding territory: "The US government basically saying you have lost."
    • Limiting military size & vowing not to join NATO: Core concessions to Russia.
    • Lifting Russian sanctions: A reward for Russia.
  • She summarizes: "All in all, what this really means is that Ukraine has lost. And that's not what they're going to say on CNN."

4:54 - 5:50 - News Clip & Host's Reinforcement

  • The CNN clip reiterates that the plan mirrors "maximalist demands" from the Kremlin.
  • Sabby interjects, stating bluntly: "Ukraine has lost... the West knew that Ukraine could not beat Russia."

5:50 - 7:08 - The Human Cost & The "Proxy War" Narrative

  • Sabby emphasizes the tragic human cost of the war, mentioning Ukrainians being forcibly conscripted.
  • She firmly restates her thesis: "This is a proxy war by NATO and the US government."
  • She suggests the motive is to suppress a rising economic power (Russia), citing the Wolfowitz Doctrine.

7:08 - 8:35 - News Clip: Consequences of Rejection & Political Pushback

  • The clip plays Trump's "fight his little heart out" quote again.
  • CNN analyzes that this implies Trump would "wash his hands" of the conflict.
  • It notes skepticism from European leaders and Republicans like Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell, the latter of whom said, "Putin has spent the entire year trying to play President Trump for a fool."

8:35 - 9:10 - Host Dismisses Critics

  • Sabby dismisses Lindsey Graham as a "warhawk" and "warmonger."
  • She returns to her central point: "The reality is people are dying. They can't win."

9:10 - 11:11 - Expert Validation: Jeffrey Sachs

  • Sabby introduces Professor Jeffrey Sachs to lend credibility to her argument.
  • In the clip, Sachs states that the war is likely ending on terms similar to the 28-point plan: no NATO for Ukraine and some land ceded to Russia.
  • He explains the proposed security guarantees to address concerns about Russian trust.

11:11 - 13:50 - Host's Final Analysis: Money, Media, and Motives

  • Sabby supports Sachs' view, arguing that if Russia wanted to invade further (e.g., Poland), it would have already.
  • She accuses Western media of manufacturing consent for US foreign policy.
  • Key Argument: The war is a "money laundering system" for the military-industrial complex (citing Julian Assange). The goal is profit, not victory.
  • She plays another Trump clip where he says, "When you start a war, you got to know that you can win," which she interprets as Trump accidentally revealing the truth that Ukraine was set up to fail.
  • Provocative Conclusion: "To fully get there, you have to end capitalism. As long as we have a capitalist system, we are going to have war."

About Sabrina:

Sabrina grew up overseas and in the US. She often jokes about not having a hometown, because her family served in the military, and her family moved around a lot.

She first became interested in politics after she joined her high school debate team, where she won several debate competitions. She also developed broadcasting skills in her high school's Programming & Broadcasting class. It was this course that first taught her how to conduct interviews.

Sabrina studied broadcast journalism & and English as an undergrad. She graduated with a BA from the University of South Carolina. She later graduated with a master's degree in Education from Northeastern University. Sabrina worked in higher education for ten years as an academic advisor at colleges such as MIT and Boston University. While she enjoyed working with students, she felt restricted in higher education due to administrative bureaucracy.

Sabby Sabs podcast was created in January 2021 after progressive members of the House refused to Force the Vote for Medicare For All. As a former supporter of Bernie Sanders and the squad, Sabrina was disappointed with squad members refusing to fight back against establishment Democrats. The ineffectiveness of the squad pushed Sabrina to leave the Democratic Party and become a registered independent. This also pushed her to focus on other solutions, such as ballot initiatives, mutual aid, and third parties. She continues to encourage her viewers to focus on local organizing efforts and breaking the duopoly.

She later joined the Revolutionary Blackout Network as a co-host and member, hosting summits and organizing events with fellow members. As part of RBN, she started the Boston RBN Chapter, which focuses on mutual aid. Each RBN member has a chapter in their respective cities.

Since Sabby Sabs podcast started, Sabrina has traveled to different states covering protests and rallies, received two media awards, and interviewed guests such as Chris Hedges, Cornel West, Kim Iversen, Matt Taibbi, Garland Nixon, and Jill Stein to name a few. She has been featured on shows like The Hill's Rising, The Kim Iversen Show, Sputnik Radio, CrossTalk, and more.^[[1] https://www.sabby-sabs.com/]

 

Generated Summary:

Sabby's Analysis: The Pragmatist vs. The Movement

Sabby's analysis centers on a central, disillusioned thesis: Zohran Mamdani, despite his radical background, is governing as a political moderate by making pragmatic deals with the Democratic establishment, a strategy that Sabby argues is historically ineffective and morally compromising.

Her critique is structured around several key points, which she supports with evidence from Mamdani's own words and actions.


1. The Core Argument: Capitulation to the Establishment

Sabby's Claim: Mamdani is abandoning the confrontational, movement-politics of the DSA in favor of backroom deals with party leaders to advance his agenda.

  • Key Evidence:
    • Opposing a Primary Challenge: Mamdani actively discouraged the NYC-DSA from endorsing a primary challenge against House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
    • Endorsing Jeffries for Speaker: Mamdani gave a swift, unequivocal "Yes" when asked if he wanted Jeffries to be Speaker if Democrats win the House.
  • Sabby's Interpretation: These are not independent acts but likely parts of a pre-arranged "quid pro quo" deal. She speculates the agreement was: "If you support me and not a primary challenge against me, I'll make sure I do everything I can to get that economic agenda of yours accomplished in New York City." She finds Mamdani's endorsement of Jeffries particularly telling because of its speed and lack of hesitation, which she interprets as a sign of a firm commitment.
2. The Philosophical Disagreement: Caution vs. Confrontation

Sabby contrasts two models of political change, firmly siding with one.

  • Mamdani's Stated Framework (The Pragmatist): As explained in his Majority Report interview, Mamdani believes the choice is between "fulfilling the agenda" and "defending the caricatures of that movement." He argues that to deliver tangible results like rent freezes and universal childcare—the "power of example"—he must work with the existing power structure, even if it means temporary compromises. His goal is to show disillusioned New Yorkers that politics can deliver concrete improvements to their lives.
  • Sabby's Framework (The Confrontationalist): Sabby labels Mamdani's approach as "playing it cautious" and argues this strategy has a proven track record of failure. She presents a historical narrative:
    • Obama's caution led to the election of Trump.
    • Biden-era progressive caution (e.g., behind-the-scenes pressure on Gaza rather than public confrontation) led to Trump's re-election.
    • Her conclusion: Caution creates a pendulum effect, swinging voters between two corporate-aligned parties and preventing any real leftward shift. She advocates for a "wrecking ball" approach—direct confrontation with the establishment.
3. The Moral Imperative: The Litmus Test of AIPAC

For Sabby, the alliance with Hakeem Jeffries is not just a pragmatic misstep but a profound moral failure, primarily over the issue of Palestine.

  • Jeffries' Record: She meticulously outlines Jeffries' positions to demonstrate his incompatibility with progressive values:
    • He is "against Medicare for All."
    • He "voted to condemn socialism."
    • He "still won't call what's happening in Gaza a genocide."
  • Damning Evidence: She plays a clip of Jeffries giving a staunchly pro-Israel speech, ending with "Israel today, Israel tomorrow, Israel forever." She then highlights Mamdani's own 2022 tweet criticizing this very speech, creating a powerful contrast that paints Mamdani as a hypocrite.
  • The Binary Choice: Sabby frames this as a non-negotiable litmus test: "Either you are going to support candidates that take money from the Israeli lobby or you're not." By supporting Jeffries, Mamdani has, in her view, chosen the wrong side.
4. The Predictive Warning and Cynical Realism

Sabby doesn't just critique the present; she predicts the future and offers a cynical but realistic view of political ambition.

  • The Prediction: She warns that this is the beginning of a slippery slope. "Zohran is going to end up capitulating more and more to what Hakeem and the other Democrat leadership and establishment want instead of the other way around." She is deeply skeptical that the establishment will hold up its end of the bargain, citing Jeffries' record as proof.
  • The "Game of Politics": Sabby operates on the assumption that all political actions are driven by calculated self-interest and "backroom deals." She speculates that Mamdani's actions might be part of a larger chess game involving AOC's potential Senate run, where supporting Jeffries now earns favors for the broader "Squad" later. She also suggests Mamdani may have his own future ambitions (Congress, Governor) that require playing nice with the party brass.
  • The "Mixed Bag" Acknowledgment: To maintain credibility, she acknowledges that Mamdani's appointment of police abolitionist Alex Vitale to his transition team is a "really good pick" and that his administration seems to be a "mixed bag." However, she uses this to reinforce her main thesis: he will be a moderate, blending some progressive appointments with establishment alliances, not a radical reformer.
5. The Final Lesson: Politicians Are Not Heroes

Sabby concludes with a lesson aimed directly at her audience, meant to manage expectations and redirect political energy.

  • Managing Disappointment: She states that disappointment is inevitable "when you put all of your hope and faith in a politician."
  • Redirecting Agency: Her key takeaway is: "You are the hero that you're looking for, the people in the community are the hero that you're looking for." This is a classic tenet of leftist movement politics—that change comes from mass movements and grassroots organizing, not from electing a savior.

Summary of Sabby's Perspective

Sabby analyzes Mamdani's actions through a lens of strategic skepticism and moral absolutism. She sees his pragmatism as a familiar and failed pattern within the Democratic Party—one that neutralizes left-wing movements by absorbing them into a system designed to maintain the status quo. While she understands the tactical argument for delivering tangible wins, she fundamentally believes that allying with figures like Hakeem Jeffries is a losing strategy that sacrifices the moral core of the movement for political crumbs that may never materialize. Her analysis is a warning that the system co-opts radicals, and her final advice is to place faith in the people, not the politicians.

    • Sabby argues this was a predictable outcome of a NATO/US proxy war, initiated with the 2014 coup.
    • "What's in it for them?" Answer: Profit for the military-industrial complex. The war is characterized as a money-laundering scheme where human lives are the cost.

  • Content: Analysis of NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's endorsement of Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker and his opposition to a primary challenge against him.
  • Key Points:
    • Sabby interprets this as Mamdani "governing like a moderate" and playing the Democratic Party's political game.
    • She is critical of this "cautious" approach, arguing it leads to capitulation rather than change, especially since Jeffries is a staunch Israel supporter.
    • "What's in it for them?" Answer: Political career advancement. Sabby suggests a backroom deal was made where Mamdani trades support for help passing his agenda.

    • Highlights Huckabee's past advocacy for Jonathan Pollard, an Israeli spy who passed US intelligence to Israel, which Sabby labels as "treasonous."
    • "What's in it for them?" Answer: Advancing a Zionist geopolitical agenda, which Sabby defines as a "settler colonial project" that serves US economic and strategic interests in the region.

11. 2:09:47.500 - 2:40:16.500: Candace Owens' Assassination Allegations

  • Content: A detailed breakdown of Candace Owens' claim that the Macron administration has placed a hit on her.
  • Key Points:

    • She notes that Owens claims to have been contacted by the White House and Donald Trump, asking her to stop the Macron coverage to facilitate a Ukraine peace deal.
    • While acknowledging the gravity of the claim, Sabby finds it credible, asking what Owens would gain by lying given her already successful platform.
    • "What's in it for them?" Answer: Silencing a powerful critic who has revealed damaging information about powerful figures (the Macrons) and shifted the narrative on Israel.

Summary with Timestamps

0:01.000 - 2:23.000: Introduction and Official Denials

  • Analysis: Hosts Keaton Weiss and Russell Dobular open by contrasting the Biden administration's public statements with the emerging truth. They play clips of Kamala Harris, AOC, and Anthony Blinken insisting they were working "tirelessly" for a ceasefire, with Blinken specifically denying he was presiding over a genocide. The hosts frame these as deliberate lies, noting Blinken's visible nervousness.
  • Key Takeaways: The public-facing narrative of the administration is established as a dishonest facade, designed to conceal their true knowledge and actions regarding Gaza.

2:23.000 - 7:39.000: The HuffPost Report: Internal Knowledge and Legal Jeopardy

  • Analysis: This segment delves into the HuffPost investigation that proves senior officials, including Biden and Blinken, were aware of intelligence suggesting Israel was violating international law. The hosts emphasize that legal advisers warned this made administration members potentially complicit in war crimes, yet Biden explicitly rejected recommendations to reduce American involvement or cut off arms.
  • Key Takeaways: The administration had concrete evidence of potential war crimes and chose to ignore its own legal protocols to continue arming Israel. This reveals a conscious decision that could amount to complicity.

7:39.000 - 8:53.300: Consequences and the "Club" that Protects Its Own

  • Analysis: Weiss and Dobular discuss the potential fallout, such as ICC arrest warrants restricting travel for officials like Blinken. They contrast this with the cushy jobs these individuals are receiving at elite institutions (e.g., Center for American Progress, Harvard), which they label a "club" that protects its own from true accountability.
  • Key Takeaways: While there is a theoretical legal risk, the system is structured to provide a soft landing for powerful figures, insulating them from the consequences of their actions.

8:53.300 - 13:20.000: The "After-the-Fact" Critique: Ro Khanna as a Case Study

  • Analysis: The hosts critique the recent, post-administration criticism from Democrats like Ro Khanna. They play a clip of Khanna calling Biden's handling of Gaza a "blunder" and calling for "moral clarity," but dismiss this as opportunistic and cowardly. They argue it's a political maneuver for 2028 that still relies on platitudes and refuses to name the core issue of apartheid.
  • Key Takeaways: Criticism from within the party after the fact is seen as cynical and politically calculated, not brave. It is part of a predictable pattern where everyone will claim they were "always against this" once it's safe to do so.

13:20.000 - 19:52.000: Democratic Complicity Empowers Trump and the Ideology of the Status Quo

  • Analysis: Weiss and Dobular present their central thesis: the Democrats' failure to act (by invoking laws to block aid) actively empowered Trump to continue the policy. They identify two root causes: a deep ideological commitment to Zionism within the administration and a broader ethos of "status quo politics" that assumes existing power dynamics cannot be changed.
  • Key Takeaways: The "lesser of two evils" argument is flawed because Democratic actions directly enable subsequent Republican extremes. The genocide in Gaza is framed as a result of this combination of ideological fervor and a fatalistic deference to the status quo, which leads to voter disillusionment and drives people to candidates like Trump.

19:53.500 - 20:08.513: Endcards/Credits

  • Analysis: The standard conclusion of the podcast.
  • Key Takeaways: None.

Summary with Timestamps:

0:00 - 0:05 | Intermission

  • Analysis: Introductory segment with no substantive analysis.
  • Key Takeaway: N/A

0:05 - 0:16 | Introduction of Guest

  • Analysis: Nima Alkhorshid introduces the guest, Max Blumenthal, and sets the date.
  • Key Takeaway (Nima): Establishes the forum for a discussion on contemporary political issues.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): Acknowledges the platform to present his reporting.

0:16 - 0:26 | Unpaid/Self Promotion

  • Analysis: Nima promotes Max Blumenthal's work and platforms, The Grayzone website and YouTube channel.
  • Key Takeaway (Nima): Directs the audience to the primary source for Max's investigative work.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): N/A

0:26 - 10:32 | The Kash Patel Scandal: Mossad Honeypots & First Amendment Threats

  • Analysis: Max Blumenthal details a complex scandal involving FBI Director Kash Patel. He explains how Patel, once a hero to the MAGA grassroots for promising to release sensitive files (JFK, Epstein), has betrayed that base by blocking their release. Max connects this to Patel's relationship with Alexis Wilkins, a former employee of PragerU (linked by Max to Israeli intelligence via its founder). He outlines how online theories labeling Wilkins a "Mossad honeypot" have led to Patel using his foundation to sue right-wing podcasters for defamation, which Max characterizes as a severe threat to the First Amendment and a sign of Israeli influence over the Trump administration.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): The Trump administration, embodied by figures like Kash Patel, is actively suppressing its own base and undermining core promises (like draining the swamp and releasing classified files) due to external influence, leading to a grassroots revolt.

10:32 - 17:52 | The GOP Civil War: Donor Control vs. The Grassroots

  • Analysis: The conversation shifts to the broader conflict within the Republican party. Max argues that pro-Israel donors (the "Zionist billionaire class") control the party's leadership and major organizations like TPUSA and The Heritage Foundation. He uses the example of canceled debates involving Tucker Carlson and the humiliation of Heritage's president, Kevin Roberts, to illustrate how donor pressure stifles dissent and debate on Israel. He contends that the grassroots, which is increasingly skeptical of Israel, is being silenced by an "astroturfed" leadership.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): The internal GOP conflict over Israel is not a debate of ideas but a power struggle where a donor class uses financial leverage to enforce orthodoxy, creating a fundamental split between the party's leadership and its future base.

17:52 - 23:13 | JD Vance, TPUSA, and The Fight for the GOP's Future

  • Analysis: Nima and Max discuss the positioning of JD Vance. Max notes that while Vance appears uncomfortable with the pro-Israel orthodoxy (evidenced by his weak answers to activists), he is beholden to a donor network (like Peter Thiel) that is strongly pro-Israel. Max asserts that there is no middle ground on this issue in the GOP; one is either fully with the pro-Israel lobby or against it, like Tucker Carlson. The future of figures like Vance depends on whether they bow to this pressure.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): Rising GOP stars like JD Vance are caught between the party's pro-Israel donor base and the anti-interventionist grassroots, a tension that will define the 2028 nomination and the party's future direction.

23:13 - 27:01 | The Inconsequential and Complicit Tulsi Gabbard

  • Analysis: Max is highly critical of Tulsi Gabbard's role as Director of National Intelligence. He states she has been sidelined on key issues like Iran but was instrumental in providing a deceptive intelligence pretext to justify Trump's escalating conflict with Venezuela, directly contradicting her previously stated non-interventionist principles.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): Tulsi Gabbard has been completely co-opted by the Trump administration, used for her credibility while being forced to abandon her principles to support a neoconservative foreign policy agenda.

27:01 - 34:01 | The Motives Behind Trump's Push for War in Venezuela

  • Analysis: Max and Nima explore the reasons for the Trump administration's focus on Venezuela. Max dismisses simple oil plunder as logistically unlikely and points to a combination of factors: ideology from the "Gusano industrial complex" in Florida, a desire to weaken Russian and Chinese influence in the hemisphere, and pure greed from Trump-world figures seeking "day after" contracts. He concludes that the most likely outcome is destabilization and civil war, not a profitable victory.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): The drive for war with Venezuela is a mix of ideological vendettas, great-power competition, and grift, which is likely to backfire and cause regional chaos without achieving its stated goals.

34:01 - 38:56 | The Death of "America First" and the Trump Betrayal

  • Analysis: Nima asks if Trump has become the establishment he once railed against. Max delivers a sweeping condemnation, stating that Trump has betrayed every key promise he made to his base: he has not ended wars (instead reviving "Dick Cheney's greatest fantasies"), he is not draining the swamp (but engaging in "out of control bribery"), and he is attacking the few politicians who still represent the "America First" ethos, like Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): The "America First" movement is a "sham." Trump has fully integrated into the warmongering, corrupt political establishment, leaving his base disillusioned and the movement's future in doubt.

38:56 - 44:47 | Syria: The Ultimate Proof of US-Al Qaeda Collaboration

  • Analysis: Max points to the recent White House meeting between Trump and the leader of Syria's al-Qaeda branch as the ultimate validation of his book, The Management of Savagery. He argues this proves the U.S. national security state has long used jihadist groups as proxies to destroy independent states like Syria, with the current goal being to use Syria as a base against Iran.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): The U.S. alliance with al-Qaeda affiliates in Syria is an open secret and the logical endpoint of a long-standing strategy, confirming that the "war on terror" is a cynical facade.

44:47 - 48:34 | Future Conflicts: Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran

  • Analysis: Max assesses the likelihood of a wider Middle East war. He believes Israel is already in a low-level "mowing the lawn" conflict with Hezbollah but is too exhausted from Gaza for a full-scale invasion. He states that while Iran has deterrence, Netanyahu is desperate to attack Iran and believes he can drag the U.S. into a conflict, which is most likely to happen before the U.S. midterm elections while Trump is still politically strong.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): The region is a tinderbox. A major war with Iran is a real possibility, likely triggered by Israel and enabled by a compliant Trump administration before the political winds shift.

48:34 - 52:02 | The Test for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani

  • Analysis: In a final question, Max offers a skeptical but wait-and-see view of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He says Mamdani's rhetoric on Israel is positive (like arresting Netanyahu) but that his true test will be his actions: divesting city pensions from Israeli bonds and ending the NYPD's liaison with Israel.
  • Key Takeaway (Max): Politicians must be judged on their actions, not their rhetoric or associations. Mamdani will be immediately tested by pro-Israel forces, and his response will reveal his true commitments.

52:02 - 52:15 | Closing Remarks

  • Analysis: Nima and Max exchange pleasantries and conclude the interview.
  • Key Takeaway: N/A

52:07.500 - 52:15.944 | Endcards/Credits

  • Analysis: Standard closing segment.
  • Key Takeaway: N/A

    • This revelation exposes the hypocrisy of Turning Point USA's current leadership, which is trying to suppress these same views.
    • It proves the internal civil war within the conservative movement is real and heated.

2:12:33.500 - 3:08:15.000 | Segment 5: The "Big Club" Exposed: Shocking Epstein Email Updates

  • Analysis: The main event of the show. Sabby conducts a detailed forensic analysis of the newly released Epstein emails, providing evidence of a bipartisan network of power, intelligence ties, and a cover-up that reaches the highest levels of the Trump administration.

Video Description:

Back before he ran for president, Donald Trump appeared on the David Letterman show and criticized U.S. healthcare, highlighting how countries like Scotland and other European nations provide high-quality care at a much reduced cost. Jimmy shares this video in which Trump adds that he could provide Americans with a much better, cheaper system (without giving much in the way of specifics).

Jimmy and guest Nick Cruse of Revolutionary Blackout Network wonder what happened to this Trump before they launch into a scathing critique of the U.S. healthcare system that frequently produces worse outcomes at a higher cost.

They argue that a Medicare for All type system would cut costs in half, provide better service, and eliminate the bloated profits of insurance companies and Big Pharma. Jimmy emphasized that universal healthcare is pro-family and can appeal to conservatives because it prevents families from going into debt for medical care. He concludes by pointing out how Americans have been misled into thinking private insurance is superior, while other countries demonstrate that government-managed healthcare is more efficient and equitable.

Summary with Timestamps

0:02 - 1:05 | Introduction & The Scale of the Crisis Sabby Sabs introduces guest Mosaab Baba, a journalist, to explain the ongoing conflict and genocide in Sudan. She references an article about "blood visible from space" as evidence of the violence in Darfur.

1:05 - 9:00 | Historical Roots: From US Policy to Civil War Mosaab explains the conflict's origins over decades. Key points:

  • 1970s-90s: Sudan was initially a US ally, then pivoted to hosting militant Islamist groups, making it a regime change target.
  • Post-2011: After South Sudan's separation, the Bashir regime aligned with US-allied Gulf states (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt).
  • 2019: A popular movement ousted Bashir, creating a power vacuum.
  • The Main Actors: The power struggle is between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF is the rebranded "Janjaweed" militia, responsible for the Darfur genocide in the 2000s and since legitimized by the EU and Gulf states.
  • Geopolitical Importance: Sudan's strategic location and resources (gold, farmland, Red Sea ports) make it a target for external control, notably by the US and Israel, as shown in Netanyahu's "New Middle East" map.

9:00 - 11:05 | Israel and US Involvement: The "New Middle East" The discussion focuses on why external powers are involved.

  • Primary Reason: To prevent Sudan from joining a "resistant axis" against US/Israel policy.
  • Secondary Reason: To control Sudan's resources and strategic geography.
  • The goal is to crush any sovereign, democratic movement and maintain control via military monopolies.

11:05 - 13:01 | The Human Toll: A Massive Refugee Crisis Mosaab outlines the devastating humanitarian impact, with 12 million people displaced. Refugees have fled in all directions: 1.5 million to Egypt, 1.5 million to Chad, and 1.2 million to South Sudan, among other countries.

13:01 - 17:14 | Potential Solutions and Regional Inaction On solving the conflict and the lack of regional response:

  • Solutions: Two parallel tracks exist: US-led talks for a ceasefire and an African Union-led effort for a comprehensive political dialogue, which is crucial for long-term solutions like transitional justice and security sector reform.
  • Regional Inaction: Neighboring countries are preoccupied with their own conflicts (e.g., Egypt vs. Ethiopia over the GERD dam) and cannot agree on a unified approach to Sudan.

17:14 - 21:30 | Foreign Funding and the Nature of the Conflict Mosaab clarifies the roles of foreign backers and the factions.

  • Foreign Backers: The SAF is primarily supported by Egypt. The RSF is funded and empowered by the UAE.
  • The RSF: The Rapid Support Forces are the main perpetrators of the current atrocities, recruiting tribally and giving communities an ultimatum: join or be destroyed.
  • No "Good Guys": Both the SAF and RSF have roots in Arab supremacist ideology and have committed genocides. The current war is a fight over who controls Sudan's resources and power.

21:30 - 24:50 | Media Blackout and Where to Find Information The conversation concludes on why Western corporate media ignores Sudan and where to find reliable news.

  • Why the Blackout? The conflict is complex, lacks a clear "good guy," and implicates US/Israeli-aligned allies (UAE, Egypt).
  • Reliable Source: Mosaab recommends Ain Network (@ainsudan on Twitter/X) for verified, on-the-ground reporting from Sudan.
Analysis and Key Takeaways
  • A Manufactured Conflict: The crisis is not a simple civil war but the result of decades of international interference, neoliberal economic policies, and deliberate empowerment of violent militias by foreign powers.
  • Geopolitical Proxy War: The war is a proxy conflict, with the UAE backing the RSF and Egypt backing the SAF, both acting within a framework of US/Israeli regional hegemony aims.
  • Continuation of Genocide: The current violence, particularly in Darfur, is a continuation of a genocide that began in the 2000s, not a new event. The perpetrators (Janjaweed/RSF) were never held accountable and were instead legitimized.
  • The "Arab Supremacist" Core: A key driver of violence for over 40 years has been the state's imposition of an Arab-centric identity, which has led to the oppression and genocide of non-Arab, indigenous groups.
  • Deliberate Media Silence: The lack of Western media coverage is attributed to the conflict's complexity and the fact that following the money leads back to US allies, making it an inconvenient narrative.
