Thomas Massey's loss in the Kentucky election was not due to external factors, but rather his own actions, including his focus on chasing clicks and self-aggrandizement, and his failure to connect with voters. The influence of APAC, a pro-Israel group, was also a factor, but its impact was exaggerated and misunderstood. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of politics and influence, and not relying on simplistic or misleading narratives.

Welcome to the program.

So I wrote about this if you are A subscriber over at Substack, chapter and verse, I wrote about this last night. Massey lost because Massey made it to where he was going to lose. And all of these people, sorry, but that's nonsense to sit here and say that it's Trump's fault. You don't have to like Trump or hate him to objectively say that Trump had nothing to do with Massey's loss. Massey lost.

Because he bought into his own hubris. Massey lost because Massey lost focus. That is why Massey lost. There's no other reason why. And to sit here and blame it and act like, well, it's because of Trump, it's because of this.

It's that is such a low T, lame thing to say. that just betrays any claim to political acumen, the speaker of such slop could claim. It's the bottom line of it. He lost. Because Voters didn't trust him anymore.

He lost because he lost focus. I know I talked about this. He went from, you know, in the beginning when Massey was elected, it was in 2012. He was elected kind of on the tail end of the Tea Party. The Tea Party really peaked 2009, 2010.

And he was elected on the tail end of that. That was the same year that Mitt Romney was running for election, right? And it was kind of weird in the GOP, and libertarians were having a hot streak. Rand Paul was very popular. And so he came in as like this weirdo nerd.

Right? Really affable. Kind of harmless, very smart. Nerd. Right, that's how he came in.

And then He lost track. He lost sight of that. I don't know if it's because Kevin McCarthy wasn't speaker. I think it maybe is a bunch of things, or maybe I'm not going to sit here. I don't care all that much to sit here and dive into his heel turn.

Maybe it was because he lost his wife. Maybe it was because he was sleeping around Washington. I don't know. That's what Congress people were telling me. Maybe it's because Kevin McCarthy wasn't the speaker anymore, and so he didn't have a shade to jack around in.

I don't know. I don't know what it was. But he lost focus, that's what I do know. And he ended up chasing Klout with Podcastistan more than he was chasing Klout with his voters. That's gonna get you every time, Trump or no Trump.

That will get you every time. And you can't sit here and argue with me otherwise, because I've done the legwork on it. This man had no bill that he sponsored. And then I he kept talking about Epstein. Why not, but not release all the names?

And then he was reading, trying to. Apparently, include people, and I explained this before. When you have the FBI conducting an investigation. They will name anybody that's even in the periphery. Like if Jeffrey Epstein goes and buys a Kolachi, I mean, and he says hello to the person who sold him the Kolache.

Hot damn, that person may have their name in the files. People like that, who had nothing to do with this, were having their, were being included and being accused of being in the files. That's part of a massey problem. There was no discernment. It was sloppy, throwing noodles at the wall, completely out of character for how he had been originally.

And then he decided to saddle up with a bunch of cable news cast offs and a bunch of people who've made their entire careers on hating Jews. They're not smart enough to do anything else without the Fox News research floor.

So this is the best they got. Jews, Jews, Jews. All damn day, every day. I mean, good night. You thought Buckley got tired dealing with the Birchers.

So he decided to lean into that. What did you think was going to happen? Do you think voters in a solid red district give a rat's ass about all your conspiracy theories and whether or not Tucker Carlson wrestled with demons? No, they don't. And he stopped making them the focus, and he made himself the focus.

That's how he he defeated himself. I mean, my gosh, 14 years. This man represented the 4th congressional district in Kentucky for 14 years. Voters don't turn on an incumbent like that without good reason. And you can't say it was Trump.

Trump opposed him in 2020. And Massey beat the snot out of his challenger. Trump couldn't take him out in 2020, but Massey was still focused then. That's why. Massey was still Representing his voters, speaking to the issues that his voters cared about.

So, for all the people who act like Trump, don't anybody who tells you that Trump did this, they're not smart enough to talk to you about politics. They really aren't. This is a very saturated field, and about 0.8% of the people in it can actually have the brains to sit here and. And you Ego aside, share this information.

Now, 14 years he was in that seat. Trump tried to take him out in 2020, didn't work. I mean he won by double digits. And now he lost by 'em.

So he ended up, I mean, 54 to 46. went from 39,380 votes To 33,000. He lost by 33,568. That's how much he was up against Galrain. Oh, I guess that's how you say his name?

I don't even know. Everyone's like, well, you were in Galrain's camp. I couldn't say his name if your life depended on it. I don't know how the hell you say this guy's name. All I know is that he's a retired Navy SEAL, seems like a nice guy.

All of the podcasts to stand Islamists hate him. Massey became his own worst enemy. And here's the big thing to note. A friend of mine said something similar to this, but it goes basically like this. Podcastistan and influencers can cultivate.

Uh a narrative. and they can cultivate some momentum. But reality has a vote. and reality voted last night. Voters don't care about half-literate nonsense from barely educated cable castoffs who can't move the needle in elections to save their lives.

This is like what the third election that podcast to stand lost. They do not have momentum outside of the internet. Do you know why? Because Pakistani bots can't vote. Do you know why?

Because Doha can't vote. That's why. Influencers from Qatar can't vote. Phones on racks in India can't vote. That's why.

They have this outsized appearance of influence. but it is so manufactured, and it is so heavily astroturfed. It doesn't move the needle. Voters don't care about that. The true measure of Podcastistan's influence last night was revealed to be nothing but a pathetic paper tiger because Podcastistan is in real life.

It's a bunch of doomer slop that lost big. That's what it was. And like I said, The other thing that they with with podcast to stand. These people, they don't care. They are going to get their clicks somewhere or the other.

And you have these fame whore politicians.

So desperate for influence, so desperate to bail themselves out of a position they put themselves in, they go on this doomer slop. the slop sphere and they fall on the sword of their own hubris. But Pakistan still gets its clicks at the expense of this stupid politician who leaned into it.

So they get their clicks, they get their temporary satisfaction from chasing trends, which is a poor substitute for years of established consistency. And the politicians That they used got screwed over, and the voters particularly got screwed. That's not America first, that's clicks first. And it hurts 'cause they know it. No, this has nothing to do with Trump, but it's easier for these frauds to insist that it does.

It's easier for them to mischaracterize criticism with association fallacy, right? They say, oh, well, you guys got your marching orders because it absolves them. Of from the responsibility of addressing the very real and very legitimate. criticism of Massey's behavior over the past couple of years. I and others have been more fairly critical.

Of Trump's mistakes and appraised his victories with more consistency than these frauds have ever demonstrated in the entirety of their careers.

Now I've never spoke with Ed Galrain. He's never been on my program. We've never, Kane, we've never invited him on the program.

Well yeah, just yesterday after he won you did. But that's another irrelevant association fallacy. The the plain truth is that Massey and Massey alone did this to himself. You know, I didn't get into the sex scandals that implicated him last week because I thought the timing was cheap. And I, I mean, I've heard rumors from all over DC, from people, from conservatives in the press, hardcore conservative Christians in the press that were shocked by some of this stuff, congressional members.

But I was I I didn't want to get into the the shenanigans and the annex and all of that. I was more interested in the fact that a sitting member of Congress had removed his super sharp MIT brain and replaced it with Tucker Carlson's CIA rejected cerebral matter.

Sometimes very smart people are very stupid. And Massey was very stupid about this reelection bid. And he didn't choose class on his way off stage either. That's the sad thing about this. You know, I wrote a post earlier on Substack that got into all of the money because he made it a big deal that Galrain's taking AIPAC money.

Do you want to know what all that's about? Because coming up next hour, I'm going to dive, I'm going to drag you down Gator deep in it. We're going to death roll into this subject.

So, you're going to be so exhausted of hearing it, you're not even going to want to hear people hash it out in comments on Facebook anymore. But you're going to be well equipped to deal with the nonsense because no one's telling you this stuff. It's stupid, it's not difficult. And I'm going to completely eviscerate. the illogical arguments that are used in this.

So, you can take that and move forward with it. We're going to dive into all of it. But last night was Massey's to lose alone. and Podcastostan Committed Sepaku. They are too small of a real contingent.

All of the influence is manufactured and botted up online. But the bottom Line and the real reality is phones and racks in India, like I said, they don't get a vote. Doha doesn't get a vote, Pakistani bots don't get a vote. Burner accounts don't get a vote.

So This had nothing to do with Trump. Trump could sit here and claim it all he wants to, but it really had nothing to do with him. This had everything to do with Massey. And smart politicians out there ought to look at this as a warning. and learn from it if their heads aren't lodged too far up their backsides.

as we move, the folks who help make the program possible. Oh my gosh, I love my ghost bed.

terms apply. I said in the post last night that we're going to go through some of this stuff with APAC because. This the Kentucky race was more than just about Thomas Massey. This Kentucky race was really a referendum on the influence of woke Reich. And that's a real thing.

Woke Reich is a real thing. It is infected podcastostan, and they've got their stupid talking points. And one of the lead talking points has to do with this group called APAC.

Now, I saw this. You know, you had Chunk Uger yesterday going off on Ed Gallery. Ed Gallerain was in the Navy for 15 years. Before Chunk Uger was even an American, the Turkish-born Chunk Yugar.

So you can shut the hell up. Any foreigner who is running their mouths about a retired Navy SEAL about a veteran, someone who fought for our freedoms here, you can either be silent and be respectful, or you can go back to the third world hellhole from which you originated.

So A lot of this had to do with APAC, and there were these ads going around. I saw people share, I see conservatives sharing this stuff, APAC Tracker. Do you guys know, again, APAC Tracker? is a website and a social media account literally founded by a Marxist who doesn't even live in America. They live in Germany.

You're promoting foreign Marxism. And their figures aren't even accurate. But nobody decides to search anything. They don't want to Google anything. Heaven forbid.

I read it in a meme, so it must be true. That's not how this works. We have to. You can't sit here and say America first while behaving like the left. You can't say America first while literally promoting foreign Marxist garbage.

Especially going after a retired Navy SEAL. Really? How does that s score that circle? APAC stands for American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Now what is it?

Well, contrary to everything Thomas Massey said, it isn't Antucker Carlson. It's not a foreign group. It's a bunch of Americans. who also happen to be Jewish. And they use their group to advocate for a strong alliance.

Now let's stop right there. Because I've had a lot of discussions about, well, isn't that just foreign directed? What does foreign directed mean to you? Let's look at this. Foreign directed.

What does that mean? Because that phrase is, I don't even know what that phrase means, it's not even a poly psi term. I don't even know what It's not a poli-sci term. It's not even technically a legal term. It's sort of like a Lewis Carroll phrase to support a faulty premise.

That's kind of how it is. you have state directed and then you have citizen directed. Right? So when Cutter, and by the way, Cutter spends tons of money. You want to talk about foreign lobbying?

APAC Doesn't even compare to Qatari lobbying. That's millions and millions and millions, sometimes triple what APAC spends. But when Qatar, which has spent almost $300 million in the U.S. since 2017, specifically on lobbying and public relations. China, by the way, spends even more on that.

But Qatar donates more to American universities, and I'll come back to that. Why do they do that? Why does Qatar and why what purpose do Qatar and China have in doing something like that? See, they use state directed resources. Two.

manipulate foreign nations to serve their interests, right?

So that is foreign directed. They're directing a foreign entity their resources so that when Qatar spends money, they want a Qatari state benefit. When China spends money, they want a Chinese state benefit.

Well then how would you describe APAC?

Well, when Apex spends money. An APAC, again, is a Literal group of Americans who are also Jewish, and it is a domestic group. It's all American money. And so far, no one has been able to articulate exactly what federal election campaign laws that they've broken. Nobody's been able to say that they haven't followed any restrictions or regulations.

So when Cutter spends money, the outcome that Cutter wants, Is a Qatari benefit, same with China, same really with anybody. But when American voters pull their money together because they want a strong alliance. That benefits the United States So, one of the first illogical fallacies is assuming it begs the question. that their advocacy is for a foreign entity. But it's not.

They're acting like it's actually a dual loyalty, Kennard. Because they're arguing that if even if you're American and you're Jewish, that somehow you must be prioritizing Israel's interest over that of the United States. That is dual loyalty, whether you're saying it or not. And that is absolutely assigning a horrific motive.

So that's what the left does, is that anti-Semitic, and that's actually anti-Semitic. When you're assuming that because someone's Jewish, maybe, hell, their family may have been here longer than yours. But because they happen to be Jewish, you're assuming that they have. dual loyalty or that they're prioritizing A different nation over that of the United States. That's the thing.

I don't know anybody in APAC, I've never done anything with APAC. But I don't see them as a foreign organization because they're not. Words have meanings or they don't. I mean, are we going to go full on trans? And start Just bibbity boppity booing up the language to suit whatever BS podcastistan slop sphere nonsense comes out?

Because words have meanings here. I had an interesting discussion with somebody last night about this. Because It is amazing to me. It's not a sleight of hand that groups like AIPAC aren't registered under FARA because they're not a foreign agent. Either you believe that free Americans have free speech or you don't.

You either believe that free Americans can freely assemble, And speak how they want, and spend their money how they want. Or you don't. There is no gray area.

So, you either support the First Amendment or you don't. And a lot of people going after domestic. entities that are Created by American citizens, are demonstrating that they have a major problem. with the First Amendment. That is not America first.

That's Chinese. That's Russian. Sure as hell isn't America first, though. Which is so odd because we're coming up on the 250th. birthday of this republic.

And yet we have some people out there that are so quick to betray the actual founding principles of this nation so fast because some cable news reject encouraged them to do so. No, all of this. And this came up. I wrote this piece about Massey, and I was talking about all the Muslim money he got. Millions.

He got tons of Islamic money. And I felt that that was important because he has literally, he was literally pounding, not literally, rhetorically pounding his opponent. I don't know, the boner phone, I don't know. His opponent. about getting money from AIPAC.

But yet the donations that Massey received from Muslims, especially over the past several years, have been quite hefty.

So you either believe in consistency as a constitutionalist or you don't like a leftist. That's where we're going with this. Here's the thing. Uh APAC Some people say, well, you know, APAC spend a lot of money on elections. Yeah, well, you know, Carter does too.

Oh, well, you know, Carter, you know, they're not really solely focused on elections. You know, they actually donate more to American universities. And I had the. In fact, yeah, about 300 million since 2017 on lobbying and public relations, and that doesn't even touch the billions that they billions, you heard that correctly, that they have donated to universities. I find that interesting.

Do you know why I find that interesting? Because universities not only shape academic curricula. but they also shape perspectives and they shape voting. Have you not been paying attention to a lot of the riots and protests that have been happening on college campuses the past several years? Have you not paid attention to the people that have been coming out of colleges and universities?

And how there are no conservatives, not even moderates, according to a late new study that has been measuring political ideology that's in campus administration or even in teaching positions in colleges and universities. There are no conservatives. There are no moderates, especially at the administrative level. There are none. I mean, that's not an exaggeration.

There are none. So you could actually argue that because The donations to universities shapes academic curricula and perspectives in voting, that that actually would be a sleight of hand. APAC doesn't do that. APAC focuses on from everything that I have read. The allyship between the United States and Israel.

Now, if you don't want to be allied with Israel, fine, you can say it. If you don't like Jews, just grow balls and say it. Stop saying the Epstein class. Stop saying, oh well, APAC. Just say Jews, you absolute low-tee cowards.

I'm so tired of it. I've never seen a bunch of biggest bunch of pansies in my life. These people don't have the NADS to go out there and say, well, just say Jews. Be honest about it. We all know what you mean.

Have the guts to say what you mean like I do. and others. I'm s it's so stupid, this is what the left does. No, but this is the thing. Massey refused to be subjected to the same scrutiny on donations, presumably because the associations.

Of religion, the religion of his donors was more acceptable to critics than the religion and the association of his opponents' donors. And that was my point. Right? So APAC is a domestic organization. And they spend money, yeah, they'll donate to candidates, and why shouldn't they?

Teachers' unions do. To say that APAC is a foreign organization is like saying the teachers' union, which I'm not a fan of. But still, that's a foreign organization, right? It's like saying the same thing. You know, you have groups of Americans here.

domestically. That Have formed groups to advocate for a stronger support, stronger United States support of Taiwan. And they haven't been called. Foreign agents. You have the Taiwanese American Action Council.

You have the Formosan Association for Public Affairs. And they are supporting, they go out and advocate for support of the United States, of Taiwan. And it's important, really, when you think about semiconductors, when you think about the importance of Taiwan and the South Sea, that's an incredibly important ally for the United States in that part of the world.

So, that is a benefit to the United States. But nobody talks about that because Taiwan isn't a Jewish nation, and that's what it all comes down to. Be honest, that's what it all comes down to. But nobody's got the spine anymore. Everybody talks tough behind a random bunch of number names on social media, but nobody will actually say what needs to be said.

And that's really it. The electoral influence, yes, APAC has some, but so do a ton of other PACs. They have a ton of other packs that do this. The only thing that I'm not a fan of with APAC is it's bipartisan and I don't like that. They have Democrats and Republicans in APAC.

And I'm just like, you look at the Democrats, look at Graham Plattner for crying out loud: Democrats are. are trying to contextualize a legitimate Nazi. Who's running for office in Maine by acting like it's no big deal? Notice that Democrats are electing their Nazis and Republicans are rejecting them at the ballot box. That's a huge point.

Uh That's my only critique, is that I don't like the fact that they try to, and I get it, they're trying to make inroads to Democrats, but I think that ship has sailed. Look at Ma'am Donnie in New York. That's who Democrats are now. They're not flirting with it anymore. It's part of their platform.

So I think that that advocacy was lost. But to say that they're a foreign group is stupid and anti-intellectual because they're not. And when people say that groups like APAC shouldn't be able to do what they want, what that person is saying is: I don't like free speech if it involves Jews. That's what they're saying. Just be honest about it.

Because that's what it comes down to. They're not even associated with a branch of the Israeli government. All of this matters if we're talking about facts. I asked this person yesterday, they were like, oh, well, these groups, you know, they could get us involved in a war. When in history has a domestic political action committee ever gotten the United States of America to disregard constitutional power, separation of church and state, and deploy troops itself?

I've got a lot more on this. We haven't even just begun.

So buckle up as we move. The folks who helped make the program possible, it is capitalists. It's our friends over at Super Beats, the company Human, based in Texas, created Super Beats, and now they have cholesterol health daily. It's very important to support your healthy cholesterol.

And I'm spending an inordinate amount of time talking about the Kentucky stuff with Massey and then all because it was a referendum two ways. It was a referendum on really It demonstrated that Podcastistan's a paper tiger.

That's the first thing. The second thing is that voters are tired of identity politic nonsense. And you can sit here and say that it's not identity politics, but it absolutely is. Massy. Thomas Massey, who I've known, he used to come on the show all the time by his request.

I've known him for a long time. He had a heel turn, man. I'm I've been the same. He's not. And he decided to stop focusing on the issues and went down this rabbit hole of podcast and slop.

chasing clicks and self-aggrandizement. I don't know if it's because it had to do with his wife passing, Kevin McCarthy not being where he is, the new wife. 'Cause you know Sometimes them ladies can be influential. That's why you gotta pick good wives. But I'm just saying something happened because he made it all about Jews, Jews, Jews, Jews.

That's what he did. Cut 12, Rokana. Who's his best friend and a Democrat? Who buys into all of this stuff? Listen to this, this is such nonsense.

My good friend Thomas Massey lost tonight. I'm angered by the smears on his character. He lost because he had the guts to take on the Epstein class. Wait, let's talk about that. He lost because he had the guts.

What does Epstein class mean? What RoConna lacks the frank to say? is juice.

So, if you're going to say Epstein class, stop being a pansy and just say what you really mean, Jews, the Epstein class. The hell is it? Even that. What is even that? By the way, I said to you before, one of the reasons why that worm turned on Massey is because he never actually read any of the assailants' names that he claims he knows.

He mentioned people who were literally in a police lineup and dismissed. That's those are the names of the people that he met right on the floor. They were names on a police lineup. They're not even involved in this thing. That's how lineups work.

They line up people, some of them randos, and then they dismiss them. And somehow their name's in the file, and Massey apparently incriminated them. That's sloppy. It is. Nonsensical.

And it cost. him trust. from voters.

So he didn't even go all the way. I think he just did it as a way to get votes. I think he just used it as a scare tactic. And he didn't tweet a damn thing about it the 10 years leading up to this, by the way. He had like one or two when I went back and looked in his whole timeline.

Uh he I think had maybe one or two tweets in ten years about it. And then all of a sudden in 2025 came. Then he started tweeting about it non-stop. Whereas everybody else had consistently Mentioned it and discussed it. I just find that to be manufactured.

That's it.

So The bottom line is that They're blaming, I mean, they're blaming Jewish people for Massey's loss. That's what it is. What came? If it was about money and somehow APAC or the Jews. We're buying a seat against Massey.

I mean, th they they weren't outspent. I mean, this wasn't about buying anything, I think. Yeah, how much? Because he outraised Ed Galrain. Yeah, that's what I heard.

I haven't dug into the numbers. No, he did. He outraised Ed Galrain. And that didn't even matter to voters because voters were just fed up. They were absolutely fed up with it.

Yeah, and it proves this wasn't a seat-buying thing, this was a voter thing. Right. It was absolutely a voter thing. And I mean, he really was playing into this stuff. I mean, if we're going to talk about influence, what do you think the Jordanian-born Marook family who donated a lot of money to pro-Hamas Democrats, they've bankrolled Rashida Tlaib, Corey Bush, Illinois.

Graham Plattner. But they also donated to Thomas Massey. What do you think their motivation was? Because here's the problem: when people talk about the Apex stuff. They are conflating origin with destination.

So you have domestic groups that advocate. for a strong alliance that includes A foreign component because they're talking about an alliance that benefits the United States. Whereas when the Qatari lobby spends money, they want a Qatari state benefit. That's not what the state benefit that APAC advocates for is for the United States. But the motivation is irrelevant to people.

Because they only focus on the destination, the identity politics of Jew uh of going after Jewish people. That's it.

And so You have to ask, well, then what is the motivation of the Jordanian-born family that donated tons of money to him? They've donated money to Jasmine Crockett. They donated money to all kinds of anti-Israeli PACs. They donated money to Abdul Al-Saeed. Oh, yeah, that's the Michigan Democrat Senate guy.

They donated to MAM Donnie. I mean, they're talking about tons of money here, guys. Lots of money. I'm looking at the receipts that I posted for you, linked and screenshotted at Substack. Illinois Mar, Rashida Tillib, Cornell West.

Oh, I missed his name in this. Yeah, all kinds of stuff. By the way, several of the Maruch family members gave Massey $7,000.

So maybe when his people were going after anybody who was even constructively criticizing his approach and they were accused of getting $7,000 from Israel, maybe they were mistakenly incorporating the money they got from a Jordanian-born family and projecting that onto other people. I'm just asking questions.

So, what would be their motivation? Because it doesn't sound like it's a benefit for the United States.

So, going by that logic. There's a lot of stuff to question here. Is there not? If we're going by motivation, lots of stuff to question here. What about the Kiani family?

That's an Iranian-born family. They gave lots of money. By the way, one of the super PACs that they gave money to, I think it's the same one that was running. An ad against the guy that's in Kentucky, what's his last name, Singer? And he's a Jewish donor and he's got a gay son.

I don't know. And they ran an ad on him featuring the Star of David with rainbow. I don't even know. But the fact that they ran that, I'm like, good night. And that was a pack that the County family donated money to.

I'm just saying that it was hypocritical to baselessly accuse other people of being bought off by APAC when you're literally bought off by Islam. Oh, am I not to believe those figures? But I'm supposed to believe all the boomer slot from Podcastistan with no receipts. And I wanted to clear up a lot of the, it's just like, if you want to disagree with something, disagree with it, fine. Nobody, golly.

But the problem is that There are too many people that are disagreeing on lies, that are disagreeing on falsehoods.

Now, you don't have to like advocacy of a certain group, but you can't say that a domestic group is a foreign group. And that's what a lot of people have been saying about APAC. If you've missed any of that, you can go into the podcast and get our previous segments. The lobbying, by the way, they're not even in the top tier of influence. But this is the thing.

One of the arguments about this has been the sheer volume of their domestic spending. That that proves that they that's proof of undue outside influence. But the campaign numbers, like the actual financial data, Does not confirm that.

So, Open Secrets is where one of the places that I went to look at federal lobbying. APAC is nowhere near the top tier of Washington influence. You're looking at about $3 million to maybe $3.5 million on just federal legislative lobbying. U.S. Chamber of Commerce spends $72 million annually.

Meta spent over $24 million. The American Medical, and this is just in the past year, $24 million. American Medical Association. Pharmaceutical and health industry spent a record $384.5 million on lobbying. Electronics industry, their PACs, $250.6 million.

The insurance sector, $155 million. APAC, Ranks Pretty much. at the bottom of the mid-sized trade groups.

So the comparable PAC to APAC would be like the American Association of Airport Executives.

Well, that doesn't sound like what the narratives are saying, does it? Doesn't sound like that at all. And that still, when you even compare it to like big old domestic political juggernauts, it still fails. The crypto lobby, fair shake, they raised over $358 million to target candidates this last cycle. That's tripled the entire APAC footprint.

Super PACs that are tied to congressional leadership. Oh my gosh, you're looking at half a billion dollars for that.

So The argument: people are trying to say that Apex influence is somehow uniquely dangerous. because of the amount of money it spends. That's what they're arguing, but the data doesn't support that as I've just demonstrated. I mean, again, they are outside, well outside of the top 100 spenders in Washington, D.C., well outside of that. and they're eclipsed by other Domestic single-issue networks, right?

One of the things that we discussed. was The motivation and the motivation and the destination of the advocacy because people are trying to say that. Because this group Advocates for a strong alliance between the United States and Israel. That is somehow evidence of Israel's outsized foreign influence on the United States government, which doesn't make any sense because then you're arguing that it's foreign directed when it's not foreign directed. It's a domestic group.

And we know that it's a domestic group, and we know exactly every single penny they spend because they're required to keep those records and do regular reporting throughout the fiscal year according to open secrets and federal election campaign law.

So we know everything. No one's been able to articulate to me a single law that they've broken because I haven't broken any. But this gets into the whole motivation and then the destination. Just because they want an alliance, a strong alliance with Israel does not mean it's foreign directed. The alliance is to benefit the United States.

So, you can't compare it to foreign lobbying. If you have a foreign state that's lobbying in the United States, that benefit is going to that foreign state. You can't say that it's foreign because just because they're Jews. That's stupid. The hell are we doing?

It doesn't make any sense to me. But that's how it's been. That's how it's been done.

So People keep sharing this APAC tracker. And I told you about this, right? I just want to make sure it's really understood. You can credit the free beacon for some of this reporting. The founder of the AIPAC tracker that says that they're America first, it's literally a self-proclaimed, repeatedly all over the internet, self-proclaimed Marxist who lives in Germany.

It's a foreign Marxist. That's doing the track APAC stuff. Cory Archibald.

Okay. And by the way, they haven't lived in the United States for over 20 years. But sure, and oh, one other thing: none of their numbers actually match up to any of the open secrets or any of the other measures that track, or the entities that track. uh PAC spending or donations. That's another it's like some of them the numbers are literally just made up.

And people are sharing it like it's gospel truth. Conservatives are sharing it like it's gospel truth. How is it America first to share literally German Marxist propaganda? That's not even accurate.

So, if you're going to dislike APAC because you don't like their advocacy, then say, I don't like their advocacy. Or you could really not be a pansy and say you just don't like them because they're Jewish. Because that's the real That's the real truth of it. And you then they know it. They absolutely know it.

But that's what it comes down to. That's all that group is. I don't know why it's like such this mystery. Here's the other thing: when it comes to alliance, you want to talk about the alliance?

So let's talk about the alliance. You know, we require Israel to purchase weapons from the United States, correct?

So we might have three which is ending apparently, the three billion in aid that goes towards Israel, but then yet we're looking at like 40 something million in return for weapons purchases that they make. In addition for the joint missile defense systems that they pretty much test out, and then we get the net benefit of. Right? The vast majority is required, they are literally required to spend the vast majority of their military purchasing weapons, munitions on U.S. military-made equipment.

And that's true. How did that come? I mean, that's their foreign military financing program that the Department of State manages. And it's the one of the reasons that we force the use of the force their purchase is because it guarantees, number one, that Israeli forces are. highly interoperable.

Yes, with U.S. military sharing. The same systems, communication systems, standards for ammunition, mechanical parts, because it allows for seamless joint operations and also intel sharing. That's a big thing. And by the way, all of these acquisitions are routed through the U.S.

government, which gives Washington, D.C. and all of these lawmakers. complete structural oversight. and end-use monitoring over every single weapon that's deployed. There's nothing that goes out.

They don't do anything without us knowing it. We'll just act like we're shocked. Oh, wow. We didn't know that they went into Iran and totally created a drone headquarter and droned the hell out. Oh, how did that happen?

We just didn't know.

Now Israel is legally bound, by the way, to spend one hundred percent of its if it's defensive grant the FMF money that we're talking about, the grant money, the foreign military financing program that the Department of State manages, literally on U. S. defense products. And That's even angered some of Israeli leadership, some of the leftist Israelis over in Israeli leadership. And they would love nothing more than to see that end.

So that's the truth of it. But what gets me? is you know With all of this, this discussion, Everyone was saying like in Kentucky and elsewhere, oh my gosh, rig primary, all everything in favor of Israel. But none of the other 21 Trump endorsed candidates who won in Pennsylvania, Oregon, Idaho, Alabama, and Georgia They didn't touch any of those races? That's weird, Kane.

You would think if they wanted to exercise undue influence over the American electoral system, they wouldn't just go after one seat.

Okay. She was so stupid.

So that's the truth of it all. That is why we have it and that this is structured the way that it is. Stop listening to the nonsense from the podcastan woke Reich Boomer Slop Sphere. Stop sharing graphics made by Marxists who live in Germany and haven't even touched foot in the United States in over 20 years. Stick to truth.

That's all. That's all it is. All right, folks.

So, I want to tell you about something that actually works. This is the world's number one expanding garden hose and their newest upgrade. It's the pocket hose ballistic. I like anything that has the word ballistic after it. I don't have time for cheap, stupid equipment that fails after one season.

I am done fighting with it. I'm done with the kinks, Eric Swalwell. I'm done with the tangles. I'm done with the leaks. I'm done with all of it.

It's a waste of money. It's enraging.

So that's why. The pocket hose ballistic, that's why you need to have this thing because it's built different. I could beat somebody to death with this. It's made, it's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer.

Now, you don't know what that is, but you do know what it's been used in before: bulletproof vests.

So that means, my friends, the strength is real, real durability, no nonsense. It's not going to mess up your garden. It's not going to like tie a knot around you. If you're tired of replacing your cheap hose every year, this is your fix. The ballistic is lightweight.

It's super easy to handle. And I like what comes with it. It comes with the pocket pivot.

So no more fighting the spigot. And ladies, it's gold. Where it moves, you move, you move, it moves. It's so simple. It's smart.

You're done. For a limited time, when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you're going to get that free. You see it right here: 360-degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text Dana to 6430s. That's Dana to 64000 for your two free gifts with purchase.

This isn't guys, this is in Texas. She could win a Texas. runoff. Oh yeah, you didn't know about this? No.

Maureen Galindo. She has called for transforming an immigration facility, and I'm quoting it. into a prison for American Zionists. Yeah. And she put that up on Instagram, and it was still up there.

I think everybody was like wa everybody's been watching this to see like what It's still up there. Still up there. And she's in, she could win a runoff race. She's running for Congress. It's a Texas house race.

She is a sex therapist. She said that she wants to turn an immigration facility into a prison for American Zionists and equip it with a castration center. You know what it sounds like. It sounds like a transition. It sure does.

Yeah. I mean What? Yeah, go ahead, Kane. The authoritarian party again? Are we wh who who who's the authoritarians in the room?

Uh wouldn't be Republicans. Wouldn't be wouldn't be them. Nope. Yeah, she wants to and the way w she has it up on um It was up on her let me get this graphic here. She has this graphic up, and it's been on Instagram.

And I'm saying It's bad. It just looks bad. It says when Maureen gets into Congress, it's hard to read it. Because she's got, let me see. I'm going to put this in Slack and you guys can see if you can read it easier.

When Maureen gets into Congress, she'll write. Legislation so that all Zionism in support of Zionism, I'm reading the graphic, is undoubtedly anti-Semitic since it's Zionists harming the Semites. She'll turn the Karns ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking, and it will also be a castration processing center. For pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists. She Posted this a week ago.

I don't know what's there. It's still online? Wow, that's who Democrats are. Democrats keep electing these people on their party, and Republicans are defeating them. Wow.

I'll bet a hundred bucks she doesn't even know what a Zionist actually is. Yeah, most of them can't define what a Zionist is anyway. They have no idea what it is. I mean, what is a Zionist? Real quick.

The hell what is it? Do you believe that Israel has a right to exist and that alone makes you a Zionist? The new standard. Because I've heard it defined. I mean, this is why I've been studying on Revelation and I've been reading a couple of books about Revelation, because some of it gets into there, it used to be if you believed that Revelation was a prophecy and had not taken place, then that was the thing that made you a Zionist.

But now it's if you simply don't want to genocide all of Israel, then you're a Zionist. I mean, I'm not kidding. That's apparently what it means now. None of these people will define it. It's like when you go to a leftist protest and they've got a million different signs, and you're like, what are you here for?

It's like the same way with these people, they can't define anything.

So this was um She's accused her runoff opponent, Bear County Public Information Officer Johnny Garcia. Of literally participating in a human trafficking conspiracy orchestrated by billionaire Zionist Jews. She said she was on Texas Public Radio, and she said she was going to put Garcia on trial for treason. Wow. So, um Huh.

Democrats are like, she's just thinking out of the box. They're calling to literally imprison people in a camp, Kane. Hmm. I feel like I've seen this movie before. Yeah.

I think I've seen it. But here's the crazy thing: a friend of mine was looking at the, just looking at the comments. And there are a lot of people who think she's nuts. But there were a lot of people who were like Team Maureen. I'm not kidding you.

Whenever I do anything on Israel, on Instagram or Facebook, I actually had to start putting in I just start putting in Uh um Oh, what is it? On your settings, because I had people calling me some of the most heinous slurs. imaginable.

Some of them are bots, but a lot of them are real people. I've been accused of being secretly Jewish. I've been, and so one of the things I've been doing, by the way, you better be real careful about doing this to me on Facebook because I am so petty, I will screenshot it and then I will literally email your employer, all your friends and family, and I will, I'll make sure that I have the time to completely bully the hell out of you.

So be very careful because I am so petty. Anyway, I do sleep. Rarely. But I've had tons, like I've, there were people who were accusing me of being Jewish, people who said that they were going to deport me, which I don't even know what that means. I mean, if I wanted to be a brat, my, you know, my family was here a hell of a lot longer than your family's been here.

I've been all kinds of stuff. I mean, I can't even, some of it I can't even say on air.

So her comments don't surprise me. There were a lot of people that were like jubilant that she said this. Lots of people that were supportive of it. This is really bad. It is becoming super prevalent on the left.

Because this is who Democrats are. This has been my complaint with APAC. I'm like, if APAC is so powerful, then how come they haven't been able to prevent Democrats from going like full-on SS? I mean, that's a legitimate question. Right?

Because we're told all the time that, oh my gosh, Jewish people are so powerful.

Well, then, Why Is it such a struggle for them? Why? If they're so powerful, how come Democrats have gone full Nazi? You literally have a Democrat in Bayer County, in Bayer County, Texas, talking about literally imprisoning quote-unquote Zionists and castrating them. And she stands a good chance to win her runoff race.

How does that happen? You got Graham Platiner. A guy who bragged about loving Nazis and literally has an SS tattoo on his arm that he tried to hide. who's being defended by the whole party. that is admonishing people who are noticing this.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. All right, so first up, Barney Frank has passed away at age 86. You guys remember him, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, too big to fail. All of that. Uh he had been in hospice care apparently in his home in Maine.

And it was congestive heart failure. Age eighty six.

So he represented Boston for quite a long time. I don't really have anything else nice to say. The IRS is going to drop audits of Trump and his family as part of the DOJ deal. Officials vowing not to pursue any matters, including those involving POTUS's tax returns, because they've been trying to weaponize everything. The DOJ granted the president and his businesses immunity from, I wouldn't say ongoing inquiries.

I would say lawfare, as we've talked about quite frequently on the program. And they said, oh, it's a lucrative arrangement that could shield him from financial liability. No, it's actually stopping from the witch hunt that we saw in 2016. 2018. 2020.

Goes on quite a lot. I mean, quite a lot. Elon Musk unleashes apparently the biggest mega rocket. In a what's being described as a giant space gamble, the ultra-powerful Starship 3 mega rocket. Which sounds like a fake thing.

High stakes test vital to NASA's 2028 moon landing mission.

So it's getting up to launch this massively overhauled Starship craft.

So that'll be fun to watch. I always like watching those. Also, a New York magazine writer has been accused of plagiarism for the second time in a week.

So, Ross Barkin has been, I mean, he wasn't just accused of plagiarizing. Apparently, it's described, I'm reading the article here, heavily plagiarizing. He apparently heavily plagiarized a whole entire Washington Post editorial from Ben Shapiro. I don't know why you think that you could just rip somebody off like that and run it, but okay. They said that NPR ran the guy's work through an AI model to see if he had lifted it from other writers.

And yeah, he said that he was he started looking at his pilfering after Barkin was caught. On May 9th, of plagiarizing Shapiro. And then apparently, Barkin then plagiarized a New York magazine story that ran five days later.

So, the guy apparently doesn't have an original thought. Isn't that what a lot of these people are going to AI for in the first place? Yeah.

So, also out today, the United States unsealed a superseding indictment charging Raul Castro and five Castro regime co-defendants for the 1996 shootdown of Brothers to the Rescue aircraft. According to the Justice Department, per acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, for the first time in nearly 70 years, senior leadership of the Cuban regime has been charged in the United States for alleged acts of violence resulting in the deaths of these citizens. President Trump and this Justice Department are committed to restoring a simple principle: if you kill Americans, we will pursue you, no matter who you are and no matter what title you hold, end quote. Whew. That's a pretty Big.

That's a pretty big deal.

So, we're going to continue to follow that. We're going to follow that development for you. But he's just, Trump's just slapping everybody. And I think one of the reasons why people are going so hard on him is because. He's he's um they don't like who he's slapping.

He wasn't supposed to He went constitutionalist and they didn't like that. It's kind of what it is.

So very interesting indeed.

Now, one of the other things, I'm going to address this real quick because I had somebody trying to tell me, oh, well, you know, Thomas Massey was so outraged. This is a stupid statement. Thomas Massey literally outraged. Ed Galrain. He literally outraged him.

And I have people in the comments that are trying to argue with me because they don't understand how PACs or any of this stuff work. He was, he outraged. You're looking at like five to three. He was greatly outraged. He grew Thomas Massey greatly outraged Ed Galrain.

So I don't know where people, this is so stupid. Just stop with the fake news. All right, today's stupidity came. All right, it's Democrats talking. Hakeem Jeffries here, cut 17.

Listen to this. This is the Democrat Party, folks. I guess part of how we as House Democrats view this moment Either MAGA extremists are going to break the country But we're gonna break them. And our goal is to break them. Wow.
