@joeroganhq @grok can you please fact check this video?

Nancy Pelosi: "It was clear the President had incited an insurrection [on Jan. 6]. We begged him to send the National Guard. They never sent them. This President is trying to re-write history. What happened that day was horrible."

Stephen Miller says at the start of the administration they asked blue states to share voter rolls to remove non-citizens, but those states refused and even sued to block it: "At the beginning of this administration, we asked every state—red and blue—to share with us their voter rolls so that we could scrub them against the DHS file of illegal aliens to remove illegal aliens from their voting rolls. Every blue state refused. In fact, they sued us to stop us from removing illegal aliens from the voter rolls—removing non-citizens from the voter rolls. That’s not the only thing. They don’t want to get dead people off the rolls. They don’t want to get felons off the rolls. They don’t want to get out-of-state voters off the rolls. They don’t want to get double and triple voters out of the count, because they want the fraud."

Scott Jennings cuts right through the CNN panel as they trash Pete Hegseth over an alleged school strike in Iran — delivering a STUNNING defense of the Secretary of War. JENNINGS: “I think the most important thing Hegseth said...and all Americans need to know and understand this...the difference between us and the enemy; we DO NOT target civilians.” “When it happens, and it will happen in war, it is tragic and it is not meant to be.” “The enemy targets civilians.” “They hide behind civilians.” “They fund people who set up bases in hospitals so that civilians are in the way.” “That’s not what we do.” “An investigation needs to occur. All the truth needs to be told, and we will give transparency to the American people.” “But there’s two parts of this war; our part and the enemy.” “The enemy targets civilians. Look what they’re doing all over the region, firing missiles intermittently.”

@Mo_elmalik @GovMikeHuckabee Ok now try again without your AI ghostwriter.

Your attempt to shift the debate from policy to “conspiracy theory” doesn’t change the core issue This was never about genetics, Khazars, or Ashkenazi lineage. The real question is simple: In the 21st century, does any state have the right to justify territorial expansion or political domination on the basis of a religious text? When you said, “It would be fine if they took the whole Middle East,” the question was not about Jewish origins. It was about the limits of power. Not “Where did Jews come from?” But “Where do you think this region can be taken?” 1. Changing the subject doesn’t erase the statement Instead of clarifying your words, you attacked the interviewer and linked the question to extremists. That’s a familiar tactic: if you can’t defend the premise, discredit the frame. But the quote stands. It wasn’t edited. It wasn’t fabricated. It wasn’t AI-generated. Diplomacy is not a church sermon. It is a space of political accountability. 2. No one is stripping anyone’s identity No one has the right to deny Jewish identity. No one has the right to deny Palestinian identity. And no one has the right to redraw a region’s map based on theological interpretation. International law is not built on Genesis. Borders are not drawn from the Book of Joshua. If ancient connection alone grants modern sovereignty without limits, the entire world becomes a battlefield of endless historical claims. 3. The issue isn’t ancestry — it’s political doctrine The concern isn’t your defense of Jewish history. It’s the fusion of: •religious belief •geopolitical legitimacy •military power When “divine promise” enters the vocabulary of a sitting ambassador, belief shifts from private faith to public doctrine. That is where alarm begins. 4. History is not a weapon Yes, Jews have deep historical roots in the region. Yes, there is an undeniable civilizational continuity. But Palestinians are not an abstraction. Arabs are not an empty map. The Middle East is not vacant real estate awaiting acquisition. Modern politics is governed by international law — not theological entitlement. 5. If we’re discussing facts, let’s start here There is no divine mandate recognized in the UN Charter. There is no legal principle called “take it all.” There is no international statute that legitimizes unlimited expansion. If your remark was rhetorical, clarify it. If it was poorly phrased, correct it. But reframing political concern as antisemitism avoids the issue rather than addressing it. The bottom line The question is not “Who is a real Jew?” The question is: What are the political limits? Defending Jewish identity does not justify expansionist rhetoric. Combating antisemitism does not require silencing policy debate. The Middle East is not a biblical inheritance. Not a theological testing ground. Not a prize to be “taken.” If you want a serious conversation, let it be about peace, borders, law, and mutual dignity. History is not protected by outrage. It is protected by justice

When I sat down with Tucker Carlson on Wednesday, I was expecting a thoughtful conversation and that he would ask questions and give me the opportunity to actually respond--just like he did with the little Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes or the guy who thought Hitler was the good guy and Churchill the bad guy. What I wasn't anticipating was a lengthy series of questions where he seemed to be insinuating that the Jews of today aren't really same people as the Jews of the Bible. I'll first just say something I didn't think to say to Tucker, which is that Ashkenazi Jews, meaning those who families had spent centuries in Europe, are a minority of Israel's Jewish population, only maybe 35-40%. There are far more Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews inside Israel. But there's a good reason, as it turns out, that I had never encountered this theory that Tucker kept pushing on. That’s because it comes from some of the darkest realms of the Internet and social media. I think it's important to take a moment now and educate Tucker and anyone else who might get sucked in by this dangerous conspiracy theory, just as I have been educated this week. I'm sharing this information because it has been weaponized by very bad people to delegitimize Jews and strip them of their history. It's an idea that gained traction in the 80's and 90's with David Duke and other Klansmen and neo-Nazis. It has really caught fire in recent years on the Internet and social media, mostly from some of the most overt anti-Semites and Jew haters you can find. I don’t know why Tucker was so fixated on this, and I'm certainly not saying he knew the origins of this conspiracy theory. I don't know what's in his heart or what he was thinking. But I do know that the discredited idea that most Ashkenazi or European Jews descended from the ancient Turkic kingdom of Khazaria is bunk. It's also been weaponized by people trying to deligitimize Jews, to strip them of their history, and to call them "imposters" or "fake Jews." This odious conspiracy theory is peddled by the likes of Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes and by people who love David Duke, as well as Islamist accounts that make up false smears about Israel non-stop and are run out of countries like Pakistan and Turkey. But we know from genetics and rich volumes of written literature that the Jews of today can trace their lineage back thousands of years to the Israel and the Jewish people of the Bible. They are as connected together as genetics tell us that the ancient Khazar kingdom is to people living today in Turkey. And if Tucker wants to tour more than Ben-Gurion Airport on his next trip to Israel, I'm happy to show him places where Jews have lived going back to the time of Jesus Christ and even earlier. I sincerely hope Tucker will let me know when he actually wants to learn facts about the land and people. Asking me about conspiracy theories should remain on the fringes and not be the heart of the conversation.

“The Supreme Court’s decision today made the president’s ability to both regulate trade and impose tariffs more powerful and more crystal clear, rather than less” @POTUS Trump responds to SCOTUS tariff decision, saying it only makes him stronger

😂

Almost 1 year ago, James Van Der Beek posted this video as he wrestled with his mortality and reflected on the meaning to life. Today, he died. I strongly encourage the rest of us to listen to what he discovered before his battle was over. I truly hope in the past year, he met Jesus. That is where the road he was on ultimately ends. He is right that you are worthy of God's love. He loves you. He is real. And he really sent his son to die for your sins so you can be with Him forever.

@SuppressedNws1 What is the big deal. Her behavior is entirely NORMAL! Candace should leave this poor woman alone. Shame on her and anyone else judging Erika. I’m sure she would love to swap places with you and have her husband next to her again.

⚡️🇺🇸BREAKING: FULL LEAKED TPUSA ZOOM CALL showing Erika Kirk speaking with staff just days after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, cheerfully discussing attendance, merchandise sales and metrics from his memorial which took place 11 days after his death.

@TXandNOLA @215sportsphilly @dearmattdearing @killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul Yes he was breaking the law. Don’t delude yourself. I am a real mom. And I’m sad that this guy died. It’s a tragedy and I don’t want anyone else to die. So let’s all just follow the law and make smart choices.

@brittnylsmith @215sportsphilly @dearmattdearing @killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul No, he wasn't. I can't believe you're a real person. I think you're just pretending to be a mom on here lol

The most interesting thing to me about the new Alex Pretti video is how much of an inverse it is from his killing. His behavior is worse -- he appears to spit at an agent and then kicks their tail light out -- and the agents behavior is much better. They grab him, yes, but they quickly realize the situation is dangerous and they let him off the ground. One or two agents even get between Pretti and the agents he's screaming at and try to de-escalate. It's like night and day.

@TXandNOLA @215sportsphilly @dearmattdearing @killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul He wasn’t out and about. He was breaking the law every time he inserted himself and obstructed these arrests. He should have been arrested just for that. Carrying a weapon is another felony to boot while impeding ice.

@215sportsphilly @brittnylsmith @dearmattdearing @killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul Also, it is our constitutional right to be out and about while armed. It's the 2A

@jesswilder711 @dearmattdearing @killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul We don’t know that these agents knew him. But he took a risk every time he broke the law and impeded officers. He was dumb to do so with a loaded weapon. His death was a tragedy of his own making.

@brittnylsmith @dearmattdearing @killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul So if police know you and don’t like you, it is legal for them to kill you when they see you again?

@dearmattdearing @killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul You’re right. Alex Pretti broke the law every time he impeded federal agents from doing their jobs. He should’ve been arrested and charged after he broke their taillight and spit on them. He wouldn’t have been out on the streets, breaking the law again.

@brittnylsmith @killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul That's just not how the law works, thank god. Otherwise there'd be a lot more blood in the streets.

@PoppertheCat @TXandNOLA @cortez18096 @Ike_Saul Many agents were trying to subdue him and in the fray an agent saw his gun holstered on his back in one moment and then in the next it was gone. Maybe he thought Pretti was able to reach for the gun. You can’t know the thinking or motive of the agents.

@TXandNOLA @cortez18096 @brittnylsmith @Ike_Saul Yep. If he had brandished, we wouldn't be here. Lethal force would've been justified. But the gun was holstered on his back. He was mobbed by many agents. He was shot in the back. There's no argument for self defense. Just cops being reactionary and dumb.

@Zomm666 @cortez18096 @TXandNOLA @Ike_Saul @grok Maybe it was a bad shoot. Likely a terrible accident or misjudgment of the threat. But it was an outcome that was inevitable with his daily activities impeding ice activities.

@cortez18096 @TXandNOLA @brittnylsmith @Ike_Saul @grok resisting isn’t a death warrant also, he was unarmed by an agent, holding his phone and glasses, discombobulated after excessive force and escalation by the agent, while never presenting a threat, he is executed… this is why most americans agree it was a bad shoot

@dearmattdearing @killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul My takeaway is that he wasn’t just documenting or helping. He’d been in enough run-ins that the FBI and ICE knew him. Just because you can kick a hornets’ nest five times without getting stung doesn’t mean it’s smart. Eventually you’ll get stung.

@brittnylsmith @killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul Amazing that this is your takeaway from a previous incident where he was armed, actually engaged in some sort of aggression (spitting on the vehicle/kicking the taillight), and still didn't really try to fight the officers or reach for his gun at any point.

@TXandNOLA @cortez18096 @Ike_Saul He did push the officers and he was impeding their vehicles which were both illegal. And like I said, these are only two examples that were caught on video. From what I’ve read, he was actively inserting himself to impede law-enforcement and break the law.

@cortez18096 @brittnylsmith @Ike_Saul He didn't push any officers. And he wasn't resisting. He was defending himself from being beaten and struck with a can of pepper spray. The 2A allows him, or you or me, to have a gun on you.

@javapro0 @cortez18096 @TXandNOLA @Ike_Saul It wasn’t this specific action that led to his death. It was his ongoing actions, day in day and day out impeding law enforcement while carrying a loaded gun that ultimately led to this shooting. His actions aren’t justified by the law.

@cortez18096 @TXandNOLA @brittnylsmith @Ike_Saul So they were scared he might break another tail light and that's why they shot him. Ok.

@killinger_95944 @Ike_Saul Saying he did “nothing” to put himself at risk isn’t accurate. Repeatedly impeding federal law enforcement, acting as a provocateur, and doing so while carrying a loaded firearm significantly increased the danger of that encounter. That matters.

@brittnylsmith @Ike_Saul “This guy spat at us in the past, let’s shoot him ten times in the back while he’s pinned to the ground and unarmed.”

@TXandNOLA @Ike_Saul He was a provocateur and was breaking the law impeding law enforcement in both instances we have on video and he was carrying in both instances. That’s a recipe for disaster and he found out the hard way.

@brittnylsmith @Ike_Saul You're being silly. How did his past actions contribute to him being shot and murdered in the moment? Can I shoot you for punching me last week?
