"We are sailing to Gaza. Here's why"

Spain and Italy are sending naval vessels to protect the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla after activists said drones repeatedly attacked their boats near Greece on Wednesday. Activists said the most recent strikes marked the seventh attack on the solidarity movement’s vessels. The Global Sumud Flotilla is the largest humanitarian convoy in history to traverse the Mediterranean Sea, says David Adler, co-general coordinator of the Progressive International, who joins Democracy Now! from the flotilla. “We are not here to drop the aid and go home and pat ourselves on the back. We are here to establish a humanitarian corridor for states themselves to assume their responsibilities and to deliver the aid at the scale that Gaza requires.”

AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I’m Amy Goodman, with Nermeen Shaikh.

NERMEEN SHAIKH: Spain and Italy are sending naval vessels to protect the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla after activists said that drones repeatedly attacked their boats near Greece on Wednesday. In a statement, the flotilla organizers said, quote, “Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed and explosions heard from a number of boats.” Activists also said the strikes on Wednesday marked the seventh attack on the flotilla. The Global Sumud Flotilla set sail after Israel blocked two earlier attempts by activists to reach Gaza by sea.

AMY GOODMAN: Passengers aboard the flotilla — there are many boats — include the Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and Nelson Mandela’s grandson, the South African MP Mandla Mandela.

We’re going now to the flotilla to speak with David Adler, the co-general coordinator of the Progressive International. He has a new piece in The Guardian headlined “We Are Sailing to Gaza. Here’s Why.”

David, we see your hair blowing. We see you’re on the ship. Can you explain what has taken place? For people who haven’t followed this flotilla, what is it? And the significance of Italy and Spain sending their naval ships to protect you?

DAVID ADLER: This Global Sumud Flotilla is the largest humanitarian convoy in history to traverse the Mediterranean Sea, from Barcelona to Tunis to Sicily to here in Crete and onward to Gaza, with a mission that’s very simple, but very urgent, which is to break the siege and to establish a permanent humanitarian corridor at sea to deliver critical aid to the starving people of Palestine.

It is not an exaggeration, Amy, to say that this unprecedented mission, whose vessels number greater than the sum of all previous efforts, from 2008 forward, of Freedom Flotilla and its affiliates to try to reach Gaza, has faced bureaucratic sabotage, has suffered from drone attacks in the port of Tunis when we were on the boats and we were attacked with incendiary devices. But most terrifyingly, just here at sea, before we entered near Tikrit, was two nights ago, when for several hours there were bombardments. I mean, you have to imagine, under the cover of darkness, we can’t see these drones. We can hear them, but there’s no lights on them, and all we can hear are the sounds of explosions. All we have is CCTV footage of the bombs being dropped onto the boats, with an obvious intent to damage beyond repair these sailboats, and therefore to deter the mission from going forward. In many cases, that was successful. Some of the boats were damaged beyond repair. And others, we were able to repair them.

I think there’s one little detail that your listeners and your viewers might be interested in, which is, as they’re deploying this illegal, deeply criminal act of violence against a civilian humanitarian mission like ours, they also jammed our communication channels. With what? With ABBA, with “Lay Your Love on Me,” which, of course, is a reference, a not-so-subtle reference, to the Swedish activist aboard, Greta Thunberg, as you mentioned in the introduction to the segment, Amy.

So, it is in the wake of those really terrifying attacks, that kept us up all night and put our lives at risk, that we put out a message to the world, in particular, a message to the governments of the Mediterranean, not just to send a declaration in support of the flotilla or in recognition of our diplomatic or humanitarian ambitions, to witness, to send boats [inaudible] not to protect our lives, but to ensure the success of our mission, which is a [inaudible] one, is to set up a new corridor to reach the people of Gaza, when the points on land have been so famously, so infamously blocked from access.

AMY GOODMAN: How many boats are there, David?

DAVID ADLER: Right now we’re about 40 boats that have joined together from the three fleets — Barcelona; Tunis, or the Maghreb, fleet; and Italian fleet. And we’re meeting six more boats that are now coming from Greece. We should be between 40 and 50 boats — again, unprecedented number of humanitarian vessels, that is now setting sail on the final leg to reach the shores of Gaza.

AMY GOODMAN: David, you’re breaking up a little, so we’re going to fix that sound. And while we do, we’re going to go to who you just referenced, the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. This is Greta speaking when the flotilla stopped in Tunisia.

GRETA THUNBERG: The messages we have to Palestinians in Gaza are many, first that I’m absolutely disgusted and appalled to live in a world where our people in power every day are betraying Palestinians, and how there are so many people who can seemingly just accept the extreme injustice and the mass slaughtering of people without doing anything. So, for that, I am heartbroken. And this is not about me or my feelings at all, but I’m heartbroken to live in that world. …

What is happening now, for example, in Gaza City, should not come as a surprise, because Israel have been very clear from the beginning that this is their intent. They have genocidal intent that they want to take over the Gaza Strip, which is such a serious war crime. And the world has not listened. Right now people are more and more waking up, but at what cost? …

What is happening is, of course, an attack on Palestinians, the Palestinian identity and the Palestinian nation and all the countless of people whose suffering is being reduced to numbers and U.N. resolutions. But this is also an attack on humanity, on international law, on every sense of humanity we have left. And that is a huge, huge risk. Of course, all right, “risk” is not the right word. It is a threat to everything we hold dear. …

What we are claiming to do is to act in line with international law. We are hearing the calls from Palestinians, who are urging the people of the world to step up, to end our complicity. And we are doing a very small part of that, the bare minimum, to act to uphold international law, human rights. …

Any risk we could be subjected to is, of course, nothing to what Palestinians are risking every day just trying to survive. For example, the extremely brave Palestinian journalists, who we are all in debt for, for them reporting about what is happening on the ground, they risk their lives every single day to tell the story. And the biggest risk is how we have allowed fascism and racism to escalate to such an extent that history keeps repeating itself.

AMY GOODMAN: So, that’s the climate activist Greta Thunberg. She’s one of many activists on board some 40 ships in the Sumud Flotilla that have [been] hit by drones. Drop Site News is reporting Trump envoy Tom Barrack admits Israel bombed the Global Sumud Flotilla ships in Tunisia earlier this month. That’s where Greta was speaking. We’re talking to, live on the ship, David Adler, co-general coordinator of the Progressive International.

NERMEEN SHAIKH: So, David Adler, just before we finish, if you could say, what exactly are you carrying on the ship to Gaza, and what are you calling for now?

DAVID ADLER: We are carrying — these ships — some of them are humble motor cruisers, like the family boat where I’m stationed, the lead vessel of the broader fleet; some of them are even humbler sailing boats — are packed to gills with basic and critical humanitarian aid, baby formula, medicine, food and water.

However, we’re not naive about the scale of the suffering in Gaza and the scale of the humanitarian crisis, that requires a much larger and more ambitious response by the states, whose good-faith obligations under international law require them to respond, on the Genocide Convention. So, that’s why I put so much emphasis on this infrastructural element of our mission. We are not here to drop the aid and go home and pat ourselves on the back.

AMY GOODMAN: We have five seconds, David.

DAVID ADLER: We are here to establish a humanitarian corridor for states themselves to assume their responsibilities and to deliver the aid at the scale that Gaza requires.

AMY GOODMAN: David Adler, co-general coordinator of Progressive International, one of the people on board the Sumud Flotilla headed to break the siege in Gaza. Spanish and Italian naval ships have gone to protect them. I’m Amy Goodman, with Nermeen Shaikh, for another edition of Democracy Now!

Tension Boils as Spanish Warship Fires Missile at Israeli Drones Attacking Gaza Flotilla
For the first time in history, Spain has deployed military power to protect a Gaza aid flotilla, firing at Israeli drones in international waters off Greece. This unprecedented move is a direct blow to war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and exposes the changing tide in Europe against Israel’s impunity.

In this video, we break down:
How a Spanish warship confronted Israeli drones over the flotilla.
Why this marks a historic turning point in the fight to break the Gaza blockade.
Italy’s surprising naval deployment under Giorgia Meloni and what it signals.
Pedro Sánchez’s bold defiance of Netanyahu and his legacy of recognizing Palestine.
Growing calls inside the EU for sanctions against Israel despite German and Hungarian resistance.
Britain’s failure to act, as Keir Starmer refuses to send ships to protect 13 British citizens aboard.



Transcript

A Spanish warship has reportedly fired
at an Israeli drone in a dramatic
escalation of tensions in international
waters off the coast of Greece. Many see
this as a historic setback for war
criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, whose
military arrogance is now facing push
back from unexpected corners. Israeli
media and social media bots are already
scrambling to spin the incident with
some mocking Spain for allegedly using
Israeli weapons against Israel, an
attempt to ridicule Spain's reliance on
foreign defense systems. Others even
dragged up the dark shadow of the
Spanish Inquisition to smear President
Pedro Sanchez. Yet, despite the noise,
the Spanish Navy made its move, marking
the first time in history that a
European state has deployed military
power to protect a Gaza aid flotillaa on
its way to break the siege. That alone
is a huge message to Netanyahu. The
world is changing and the days of a free
pass to kill and destroy Palestine
without consequences may be slipping
away. Uh but I I want to point out that
even though this flutella is a
humanitarian mission, um this should be
in no way be seen as us coming to the
rescue of the Palestinians. Palestinians
do not anyone do not need anyone to come
and save them. um Palestinians
um are calling for us who can act to
speak up to to do everything in our
power to apply pressure on our
governments, our institutions and our
companies who are enabling and fueling
this genocide to take place and to end
our complicity. And that is what we are
doing. We are listening and acting upon
the calls of Palestinians to take
action. Um, the idea of having a
flotilla with dozens of boats coming to
Gaza was initiated by Palestinians. So,
listen to what Palestinians are are
calling for you to do. Um, step out of
your comfort zone. Realize that you are
not risking anything by speaking up
compared to what Palestinians are facing
every day. Just trying to make ends
meet, just trying to survive. especially
those who are risking their lives every
day trying to report on the situation.
So there are so many things that you can
do locally, whether it is um occupying
the Israeli embassy, whether it is
putting pressure on companies, whether
it is uh doing events to raise awareness
and create opinion about
Italy. Then added its own twist to the
story, deploying two naval vessels to
back the flotilla. Now, I've been
skeptical of Georgia Maloney's
government because of her seemingly
pro-Israel stance, but this action
signals a possible shift combined with
her recent anti-Israel remarks at the UN
General Assembly. It suggests that some
European leaders are starting to push
back against Tel Aviv's unchecked
aggression in Brussels. There are even
whispers of sanctions being considered
against Israel. While I don't have much
faith in the EU system, unonymity is
required. And Germany and Hungary remain
strong allies of Netanyahu. fact that
sanctions are being discussed at all is
a warning sign that the impunity of the
past may be crumbling.
It's a very very um tense moment really
because we don't actually know for
certain that the Israelis will attack
the flatillaa once the flatillaa enters
um Gaz and or Israeli territorial
waters. Then of course the Italians will
have to decide how to respond. Will they
protect Italian citizens? And obviously
the Spaniards are also now sending a
ship, but the Italians are much closer.
Will the Italians actually protect the
flatillaa or will they allow the
Israelis to attack the flatillaa and
then just save whoever they can save in
the water? So, if you like, this is a
game of of of poker really. Um, who's
going to blink first? Are the Israelis
really going to be foolish enough to
attack the flatillaa and risk the
Italians retaliating? I I I'm not sure
that that would be very wise of Israel,
though, as we've discovered uh Israel
seems to be a law unto itself, supported
by Mr. Trump.
The prime minister Maloney is caught
between a rock and a hard place. She
clearly does not want to displease uh
Mr. Trump. But uh Italian public opinion
is overwhelmingly for across political
boundaries by the way both right,
center, and left. It's only a few uh
interesting characters on uh the far
right who who um are opposed to
recognizing Israel. Uh so Maloney is
caught between a rock and a hard place.
As I say, her domestic opinion is
basically for the recognition of
Palestine and her domestic opinion is
for the Italian Navy to intervene to
protect Italian citizens. Now,
Maloney, of course, has had to be
dragged, kicking and screaming to say,
"Okay, uh we'll recognize Palestine as
long as they release uh the hostages and
as long as Hamas has got nothing to do
with with this." Now, that's one heck of
a shift.
Pedro Sanchez, as I've said in earlier
videos, is already writing himself into
history. He recognized Palestine when
others hesitated. He sanctioned Israel
when most governments sat on the fence.
and he openly defied the EU by targeting
Israeli officials responsible for the
genocide in Gaza. Netanyahu himself
fears Sanchez so much that on his way to
Washington, he deliberately avoided
Spanish airspace after Sanchez vowed to
have him arrested if he dared to cross
it. That is the measure of leadership.
Let me show you a clip of Sanchez
acknowledging his Navy's actions. And
before I do, make sure to hit like and
subscribe so the algorithm can't bury
this video.
Sanchez has made it clear his army is
prepared for all scenarios and will not
bow to Israeli intimidation. This
unprecedented move to support a
humanitarian flotilla comes after
repeated Israeli attacks, including the
drone strike on the Sumud Flotilla,
which most observers agree was carried
out by Israel despite its refusal to
comment. Tel Aviv's rhetoric against the
flotilla has escalated in recent days,
and analysts warned that this does not
bode well for its safety as it edges
closer to Gaza's waters. while two of
the boats, including the boat I'm
standing on, were harbored in Tunis. Uh,
since then, it's been quieter in terms
of physical attacks. Um, however,
there's been a steady trickle of
propaganda coming from Israel defining
the flatillaa as a terrorist operation
with direct links to Hamas. These are
false claims. Um but they were a quite
clear indication of what came um
afterwards which was late on Tuesday
night and into the early hours of
Wednesday we had five hours of drone
attacks across several boats on the
flatillaa. There were 14 attacks in
total 11 explosions and in three
instances items were dropped by drones
onto boats. These included chemical
substances that harmed participants. Um
and assessment the next day demonstrated
the drones used in these attacks were
specifically designed to damage sailing
vessels. So the indication is that it
was an attempt to render the vessels in
this flatilla unseaorthy and the risk to
passengers lives definitely was
definitely real. Um however there were
no casualties. There was one burn injury
and the flatillaa intends to sail on. So
speaking of those risks to activist
lives, as you mentioned, they're
alleging links to Hamas. There's been
increased drone activity as your
flotilla gets closer to its destination.
What has the discussion been among the
flotilla's leadership uh surrounding
concerns that they may be detained, they
may be charged with terrorism? What has
what have those conversations looked
like?
While the flatilla that we're looking at
now does have different projections,
different risk assessment to the two
previous flatilla attempts that had
quite a lot of media profile, the Madlin
ship, the Handella ship. The projections
from the start have been that the risk
is higher. Um, and so in that respect,
the conversation actually hasn't changed
as much internally as it has changed
externally. Before I even departed
Fortunis, I saw a statement by Ben Gir
in Israel saying that or proposing plans
to treat uh the passengers of under
anti-terrorism law and to penalize them
and detain them as such. He was
advocating for a period of detention
much longer than the couple of days of
detention that the previous two
flatillaa operations experienced. Um,
however, it's one thing to anticipate
danger and it's another thing to
experience danger. And I would say that
the attacks the other night certainly
rattled people. Um, they came with
elements of clear psychological warfare.
you know before the devices were
dropped.
Meanwhile, the biggest disappointment
comes from here in Britain. K Starmmer,
despite recently recognizing the state
of Palestine, has refused to deploy any
Royal Navy ships to safeguard the
flatillaa or the 13 British citizens
aboard who could become targets of
Israeli persecution. Outlets like Middle
East Eye have already highlighted this
contradiction, and many here in the UK
see it as a betrayal.
[Music]
[Applause]
As a US citizen on this platilla, do you
think it's fair to say that one of the
reasons the British government has been
so slow to act in the protection of its
citizens is to do with the USA?
Absolutely. I mean, I think sadly, uh,
the US and Britain are the two largest
proponents and and the most complicit
governments in this genocide. And the
people, you know, Kier Thurmer and
Donald Trump and quite frankly also Joe
Biden are are the reasons that we've
seen this horrific genocide happen. And
it's so depressing like I and it and it
really makes me wonder like you know
thinking back hundreds of years ago did
we even need the Revolutionary War
because we're basically the we're a
we're a group. We're uh we're doing the
same awful things that we've always done
for centuries and it's uh it's
depressing.
Greece has also promised to guarantee
safe passage while the flotillaa sails
in its waters openly acknowledging that
Greek nationals are on board. This puts
Israel in a tighter corner. It can't
simply storm in with commandos kill
activists as it did on the Marvi Mara in
2010 and hope the backlash will fade.
This time the presence of European naval
vessels nearby and heavy global media
coverage means every move Israel makes
will be judged in real time. The
activists, for their part, are not
naive. They know Israel will never
willingly let them through. Their real
weapon is visibility live streams, media
exposure, European politicians on board,
so that when the inevitable interception
happens, the world sees it for what it
is, a state using its military against
unarmed civilians delivering aid. And
the more Israel lashes out, the more it
exposes the cruelty of a blockade that
has already turned Gaza into an open air
prison. The big question now is whether
the presence of European ships will
deter Israel from unleashing the full
brutality it showed in 2010 or whether
Netanyahu's government will once again
prove it is ready to trample over
international law. Either way, the
confrontation is coming and it will be
another moment where Israel shows the
world that it fears peace and
humanitarian relief more than it fears
global condemnation. Thank you for
watching this far. From the bottom of my
heart, I appreciate you immensely. Keep
supporting me by subscribing and until I
see you in the next one, God bless

Hegseth Orders Urgent Meeting of Top Generals and Admirals
by Chris Gordon
Air & Space Forces Magazine
Sept. 25, 2025
https://www.airandspaceforces.com/hegse ... -admirals/

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered generals and admirals from around the world to gather for an urgent meeting near Washington on Sept. 30. The purpose and timing of the meeting is unclear, even to attendees, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.

The directive was sent earlier this week and the meeting is set for Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., south of the Pentagon, next Tuesday morning.

“The Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed in a statement to Air & Space Forces Magazine on Sept. 25, referring to Hegseth’s new secondary title under an executive order issued earlier this month by the Trump administration.

Officers from across the armed services ordered to the meeting indicated they were not told whether or how to prepare for the meeting.

Speculation about the purpose of the meeting ranges from the unveiling of a new National Defense Strategy to some sort of Pentagon overhaul.

In May, Hegseth issued a memo directing the Pentagon to slash the number of senior generals and admirals. At least 20 percent of four-star positions would be eliminated under the move, while the number of generals and admirals at all levels—one star and above—would decrease by 10 percent, according to the plan.

Hegseth also said at the time he was directing a sweeping review of U.S. military commands and staffs, signaling a likely consolidation.

Large gatherings of senior military leaders are not unusual. The Air Force’s periodic CORONA meetings, for example, call together the top generals from across the service to confer on future strategies and policies; a weeklong CORONA meeting was held in June at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., led by Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink.

But most such meetings are scheduled well in advance. Hegseth’s planned Sept. 30 meeting was not, catching admirals and generals by surprise and scrambling schedules.

Hegseth has already had a large impact on top leaders. Since taking office, he has replaced Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., Chief of Naval Operations Lisa M. Franchetti, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James C. “Jim” Slife, the head of U.S. Cyber Command and National Security Agency director Air Force Gen. Timothy D. Haugh, and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey A. Kruse.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin announced last month he would retire around the start of November, just two years into what is normally a four-year term. Officials have not publicly offered a rationale for that move, and a replacement had yet to be nominated Sept. 25.

Spokespeople for the Pentagon offered no details about the Sept. 30 meeting, and did not indicate whether any of the gathering might be broadcast or open to the press.

Israel DISGRACED as UN Shuts Up Netanyahu in Historic Walk Out
by Danny Haiphong
Sep 27 2025



Transcript

Benjamin Netanyahu was visibly shaken by
the extraordinary walkout at the UN
General Assembly that occurred just as
he took the podium to speak. Delegates
from over 50 countries emptied the room
in what was a heroic act that signaled
Israel is more alone now than it has
ever been. And if you listened to
Benjamin Men Netanyahu's words, you
would understand why. He spoke for a
whopping 40 minutes in what was a
stunning denial of the blood soaked war
crimes and genocide committed by his
regime not only in Gaza but the rest of
the region. His address was a mix of war
propaganda, glorification of genocide
and an outright denial of war crimes all
across West Asia. The dozens of empty
seats that were present as Netanyahu
spoke was not exactly random. It was a
rejection, a coordinated one at that, of
a leader, a so-called man defending
genocide in Gaza while portraying Israel
as the perpetual victim. Of course, we
saw the US delegation staying seated,
but the rest of the global south, Arab
nations, African nations, nations in
Latin America, and even many Western
European delegates having left the room
before Netanyahu could even utter a
word. But oh did he utter many words.
And of course his words were entirely
predictable because Netanyahu is every
time he speaks on trial by world public
opinion. He began as always at the UN
General Assembly by holding up a map. He
always does this. This time the map was
of Iran's terror access quote unquote.
Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Bashar al-Assad,
who has since been overthrown, and the
Houthis, better known as Ansarala. He
claimed that Israel has crushed Hamas,
which is just another euphemism for mass
murdering Palestinian civilians.
Because, let's be quite honest, the
Palestinian resistance is fighting back
as we speak in Gaza City, taking out
Israeli tanks and even killing top
commanders of these tanks. He bragged
about crippling Hezbollah, destroying
Assad's arsenal, and even he bragged
about the 12-day war, Operation Rising
Lion, according to Israel, to the point
of victory. Now, this is very
interesting since Israel actually
depleted so much of its air defenses
that the United States had to stage what
was mainly a theatrical B2 bombing
campaign of Iran's nuclear sites and
tell Israel to stand down because it
would not be able to defend itself
longer than those 12 days. But reality,
of course, never gets in the way of
Netanyahu's
uh habit and addiction to lying.
Netanyahu did what he does best at the
UN General Assembly, which is applaud
extrajudicial assassinations, whether it
was through the pager attack in Lebanon,
which killed thousands of civilians and
injured many more, and the Iranian
scientists and leaders that have been
targeted over the years, including
during the 12-day war, by Israeli
intelligence. So, this wasn't a peace
speech at all. It wasn't a speech by a
legitimate leader. It was a war speech.
It was a speech where he bragged about
bombing other countries and killing
civilians. And this is why the delegates
left. This naked triumphalism is no
longer being tolerated. So Netanyahu of
course revisited October 7th describing
atrocities allegedly committed by Hamas
in graphic details. Of course many of
these atrocities have been debunked
whether it was the babies being burned
alive or the beheaded men and the raped
women. All of this has been debunked not
only by independent journalists, for
example, at the gray zone and electronic
antifada, but also confirmed by Israeli
media itself.
While all of this uh it could be seen as
a reason to sympathize with Israel, the
fact of the matter is is that these
lies, no matter whether they were true
or not, are no justification for the
indefinite war on Gaza. He did very
silly things as well. Netanyahu really
did humiliate himself during this
speech. She took out a QR code that
delegates and audience members could
scan to show why Israel fights. He also
spoke on militaryra loudspeakers to send
a loud message to the remaining hostages
in or the prisoners of war we should
call them in Hamas's um care right now
that are currently being held by Hamas
as a way to show how much he cares about
them. But the fact of the matter is is
that thousands upon thousands upon
thousands of Israelis themselves have
protested in Tel Aviv
demanding that the genocide in Gaza end
not because they oppose genocide. We
know that over 80% of Israelis actually
support the violence that occurs against
Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank
and the rest of Palestine proper. But uh
they want to see the prisoners of war
released because now it is well known
that the ongoing genocide in Gaza has
actually killed many of these prisoners
of war and that Hamas has outright said
they cannot protect prisoners of war
when Israel is committing its savage and
barbaric bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
So Netanyahu predictably reduced the
entire population of Palestine to the
enemy Hamas uh weaponizing the grief of
people all around the world to
rationalize mass killing. But of course
he never acknowledged the tens of
thousands of Palestinians killed since
and what the Lancet has said is actually
likely hundreds of thousands now given
the impact of the bombing campaign
committed by Israel. So Netanyahu
claimed in his UN General Assembly
remarks uh that they were being
broadcast on these loudspeakers uh in
order to directly address the hostages.
He told Hamas quote unquote free the
hostages now and if you don't Israel
will hunt you down. This was of course a
performative political act because
Israel has not been able to hunt down
Hamas. In fact, every time Israel bombs
Gaza, every time it destroys Palestinian
people's infrastructure, every time it
commits an act of genocide, which is
every second of every day that this
continues, we have more Palestinians
joining the resistance to fight back.
And that will be a reality that Israel
will never be able to stop. And this is
what is known by the delegates at the UN
General Assembly. They know that their
institution is unable to stop what is
going on in Gaza. They want it to stop
because in many ways international law
has been utilized and weaponized to
stifle resistance. And it's only
countries like China who still uphold
many parts of the Geneva Conventions and
uh uh the UN charter which says that
armed resistance is actually a right of
oppressed people especially colonized
people fighting against foreign invaders
which is exactly what the Palestinian
people have been doing for 75 plus years
now. Netanyahu of course mocked the
genocide charge predictably. What a
country, he said, committing genocide,
dropped millions of leaflets to evacuate
civilians. Well, yes, they would do that
because everything that Israel has done
is
and could be considered genocide.
Independent UN reports show mass
civilian slaughter, famine, and systemic
targeting of infrastructure that was not
mentioned by Netanyahu at all. What he
cherrypicked, of course, was the US
military officer John Spencer claiming
that Israel minimizes civilian deaths
better than any army in history. Of
course, there was no proof provided of
these claims. And there is no more
appetite worldwide for listening to a
leader who claims that there is no mass
murder happening when we are all seeing
it on our phones and on our screens
every single day. Now, Netanyahu also
claims that Israel is sending 2 million
tons of food and aid, one ton per
person, and blamed Hamas for stealing
it. This of course negates the many
reports now that we have of the USbacked
uh Gaza humanitarian foundation which
has been shown to actually snipe at and
kill Palestinians waiting for uh food
aid and other medical supplies. This
also negates the fact that the freedom
flotillas, the Samud flotillas that are
sailing toward Gaza have been attacked
by Israel with drone attacks and various
other uh chicannery in order to thwart
them. And we know that the last flotilla
that sailed to Gaza just over a decade
ago was also uh attacked by Israel and
10 people about were killed. And this
isn't even to mention the fact that
thousands upon thousands upon thousands
of tons of aid sit across the border
crossing with Egypt being disallowed by
Israel to get in. This has been the case
since the ongoing genocide began.
So this was really a calculated
inversion. Palestinians who are starving
under siege are being called liars and
agents of Hamas while Israel is casted
as their actual provider. And this
should be seen as a complete and utter
insult to the humanity of everyone. This
is why delegates are walking out of the
UN's general assembly. And this is why
Israel is now more isolated than ever
because no one at this point with any
ounce of humanity can stand to hear
Benjamin Netanyahu and continue to
ingest the hazbara that comes out of
Israel. And this is actually having a
market effect on Israel's capacity to
conduct its affairs for its capacity to
continue its ongoing expansionism.
Because remember it is the greater
Israel project that uh Israel wants to
achieve. Israel wants to expand into
Egypt into Saudi Arabia. It wants to
actually build from the river to the sea
as is often criticized of Palestinian
activists, pro Palestine solidarity
activists and the like. That is actually
what is in the charter of the Lood party
that Netanyahu is a part of. Uh, and
this is why Netanyahu condemns so hard
the recognition of the 1967 borders, the
two-state solution that has now been uh,
in words rhetorically recognized by a
number of countries. The mantra now is
rewarding terrorism and claiming that
nearly 90% of Palestinians supported
October 7th, dismissing the two-state
solution as a Palestinian rejection of a
Jewish state. All of this is meant to
deny Palestine not only their right to
statehood, but their right to existence.
And this is ultimately the plan that
Israel has. He remarked that what giving
Palestine a state would event would
equate to was giving al-Qaeda a state
one mile from New York City after 911.
And we don't have to get into all the
suspicions that people have of Israeli
involvement there. So this was quite
ironic because as the UN General
Assembly was occurring before
Netanyahu's speech, we saw former CIA
director David Petraeus meet with the uh
so-called Syrian president, the puppet
regime leader. He was a leader of
al-Qaeda that Petraeus likely trained.
So this is uh an interesting inversion
of reality that should also demonstrate
just how desperate the regime Israel is.
So Netanyahu's clearest me message of
all was that there will be no
Palestinian statehood as long as Israel
is able to conduct its Juan ton murder.
And this is opposed. This rejection of
Palestinian statehood is actually
opposed by most of the world. If you see
the UN votes, the UNGA votes over the
years, it is overwhelmingly on the side
of respecting the right of Palestinian
people to have a state given that they
were the original leaders, the original
occupants and inhabitants of that land.
Now, Netanyahu not only attacked Hamas
and Hezbollah and Iran and those that he
claims are adversaries to Israel, uh
those that he cannot defeat because, as
you know, Ansarala of Yemen continues
its campaign in the Red Sea and
launching drones that have been actually
successful in piercing Israeli air
defenses. Iran in the 12-day war proved
quite capable of launching ballistic
missiles to the tune of billions of
dollars worth of damage to the Israeli
regime. And of course uh Hamas and the
Palestinian resistance have not quit. So
while he cannot defeat the resistance,
Netanyahu is now turning his attention
to his so-called allies and world
leaders for being weak need including
European leaders as and he called them
appeasers of evil. Accusations of
genocide and starvation were blood
liable he said and he attacked Western
mainstream media as Hamas's propaganda
arm. Imagine, he said as he lectured
leaders whose civilians citizens have
died in Gaza protest, telling them they
were cowards. So no wonder that the
delegates left. Mind you, a US citizen
was killed in an Israeli strike on
Lebanon just the few days before his
speech. So Netanyahu of course did what
an Israeli leader would do when your
back is against the wall. He kissed the
ring of Donald Trump. He kissed the ring
for Donald of Donald Trump for backing
Israel's air strikes on Iran, for
fighting anti-semitism and brokering the
Abraham Accords. Mind you, all of this
is defunct, especially the Abraham
Accords after Israel attacked Qatar in
order to try to kill Hamas negotiators
in the weeks leading up to the UN
General Assembly. Trump understands, he
said better than anyone, that Israel and
America face a common threat. he said.
And we see this and we should see this
as less of a UN speech and more of a
campaign for Donald Trump in order to
win his ongoing support for the genocide
and essentially for anything that Israel
does. And there are also suspicions that
Donald Trump may actually be blackmailed
at this point because of the whole
Epstein debacle. That of course may be
part of the reason why Donald Trump
continues to allow Israel to do what it
is doing and Gaza in the region. But the
fact of the matter is that UN US foreign
policy has every much of a reason to
allow Israel to do what it's doing
because US foreign policy has had for
the last several decades and even longer
than this the goal of destabilizing the
region so that US primacy can continue
without any hitch. And that's why we saw
the US so jovially get involved uh with
Israel against Iran during the 12-day
war back in June. And this is why we
have seen war after war after war by the
United States from Afghanistan to Iraq
occur with Israel's uh explicit
championing so much championing that
Netanyahu himself was lobbying in
Congress for the Iraq invasion just
before it occurred. The alignment is
there. US full spectrum dominance, the
Wolawitz doctrine, all of this is very
much aligned with uh policies like the
Od Yunan plan or the clean break
document which all presuppose that
Israel's very existence is predicated
upon the destabilization and overthrow
of regimes of governments and of course
of any movements resistance or otherwise
that get in the way of Israel's project
to expand into greater
Israel. So the UN General Assembly
showed that all of this is no longer
acceptable. And it's important to note
that this is what makes it important for
the United Nations for uh the
international law system itself as
flawed as it is to be upheld to the
fullest degree because we need more
global displays. We need these
institutions to show that they stand
with the letter of the law that they
have all signed off on. And this has
become more and more difficult by the
day as Israel is given cart blanch with
absolutely no action taken against it by
the very force and entity that claims
that it is an arbiter of international
law in peace. Wink wink, Donald Trump,
who in his UN General Assembly speech
said he was the peacemaker. Well, Donald
Trump is the primary obstacle to peace,
to Palestinian existence, to Palestinian
statethood, and of course to the end to
the wanton mass murder that Israel is
committing in Gaza, in Lebanon, and the
rest of the region. Now, Netanyahu
pivoted pivoted at the end to celebrate
the opening possibilities of peace now
that everyone has been defeated.
Essentially, he claimed that Israel
would expand the Abraham Accords. He
cited encouraging remarks from
Indonesia, even though
uh we saw Indonesia say that it was
going to send 20,000 peacekeepers to uh
enforce an eventual end to this
genocide. But this piece is conditional.
Of course, any opportunities for Israel
to stop its uh wanton massacre is
predicated and dependent upon Israel's
so-called military victory under Israeli
terms with Palestinians not only
completely excluded but likely not even
in existence at all. And so this is why
Netanyahu's speech rang hollow. And this
is why the glorification of endless war
was met with a mass walkout. And so what
is the point of all of this? Well, the
point is that Israel is in big trouble.
No longer is it the case that Israel is
seen as an entity worth protecting. In
fact, this UN General Assembly walk out
shows that the world is fed up with
Israel. And for very good reason. It's
not only that Israel's genocide in Gaza
has committed horrors that are untold
and perhaps not matched at any point in
modern history. It's not that Israel
seeks to expand these crimes ever more
over and over and over again. Whether
it's in Lebanon, in Syria, or of course
against Iran and in Yemen, where Israeli
strikes have killed dozens of
journalists there. Uh it's not only all
of this. It's not just the crimes that
people are sick of. It's the fact that
Israel cannot win. many people in the
collective west, many of these leaders
especially if we're going to exclude
ordinary people because we know most
ordinary people are on the side of
Palestine. But if we just look at the
collective west and the leaders, the US
leaders, the leaders of Western Europe,
we know that they are not opposed to war
and genocide. They have committed
genocide themselves. They are
descendants of genocide in many respects
and then they have committed their own
in many respects. I mean, look at what
has happened in West Asia before uh the
so-called Gaza genocide began because we
call it so-called because it really
didn't begin in October 7th, 2023. It's
been happening for decades upon decades
since the establishment of Israel and
even prior. But the entire region has
been engulfed in flames, mainly by the
collective west. And many of these wars
could be considered genocide themselves.
the million plus Iraqis who were killed
in the US NATO war in invasion and
occupation and then we can go back
further where Europe and the United
States whether it's Vietnam or Korea
committed their own kinds of genocide.
So it's not that war crimes are abhorent
to many now. It's that Israel's efforts
to try to subdue the Palestinian people
and to subdue the resistance in the
region are seen as an abject failure.
And in fact, there is deep fear in the
ruling elites all across the West that
Israel's campaign of genocide and
endless war actually will strengthen the
resistance in the long run. A lot of
people criticize me for making this
assertion, but the fact of the matter is
is that when it comes to trying to deny
an entire people and then deny an entire
region and then to deny the entire world
from achieving their self-determination,
the blowback will be very real and
Israel's blowback has already come. This
UN General Assembly walk out is part and
parcel of the delegitimization of Israel
as a colonial entity. one that is worthy
of existence in the long term. It is
also a an affirmation that the
resistance continues, that the
Palestinian people continue to fight
back, that every Marava tank that is
taken out by the Palestinian resistance
is another reason why people are not
going to be convinced that Israel is not
just winning but worthy of committing
the war and the genocide that Israel is
saying and Netanyahu is saying is
leading to victory. every missile, every
drone fired into Israel by Ensurala and
the Houthis and piercing air defenses or
sending uh millions of Israelis
scrambling into bomb shelters is another
indication to the rest of the world that
people will not tolerate this,
especially people living in the region.
And every single act of protests,
including ones that occurred outside of
the UN General Assembly, the UN building
itself during Netanyahu's speech, is an
affirmation that even people in the
collective West and the United States
are aware of not just Israel's crimes,
but the fact that it cannot win the war
that it has started. So, as we watched
Netanyahu, as we watched this genocide
denying clown show, mocking
international law, as we saw him
apologize, not saying sorry for, but
apologize for the war crimes being
committed by his regime, we now have 50
delegates showing a historic move and
taking part in a historic move that is
part and parcel of the crisis. crisis of
the Zionist regime. This crisis is not
going to let up. The longer that Israel
continues its genocide in Gaza, the
longer that it continues to escalate on
all of these fronts now in what is
essentially an eightfront war, which
some, for example, in the Council of
Foreign Relations say Israel being at
war with itself uh uh as the eighth
front. But now with all of these fronts
open, with uh endless war and genocide
as the endgame goal, there is now no
longer any reason for Netanyahu and
Israel to be considered anything other
than what it has always been. And that
maskoff moment that we are seeing right
now historically will eventually be the
demise of the Israeli regime itself. The
world is no longer tolerating this. The
world stage is now not a place for
Israel to uh feel as if it should be
admired and gratified. Now, Israel will
always be put on trial. Netanyahu will
always be put on trial every single time
that it speaks and that he speaks to the
rest of the world. And this is an
historic moment which indicates that the
resistance is not futile, that the fight
back is not futile, and that the more
push back that occurs, the more likely
we are going to see an end to this
gruesome chapter in history come once
and for all. If you like this video,

Stephen Miller SNAPS after getting MERCILESSLY BULLIED
by Adam Mockler
Sep 27 2025

Adam Mockler with MeidasTouch Network breaks down the stunning hypocrisy of Trump advisor Stephen Miller. After Governor Gavin Newsom's press office repeatedly called Miller a fascist, Miller and his supporters claimed it was a "'death threat'"



Transcript

I can't think of anyone else who
deserves to get bullied more than
Stephen Miller, Donald Trump's deputy
chief of staff, who is essentially
spearheading a lot of the most extreme
policy. I mean, don't get me wrong,
Donald Trump supports it and signs off
on it, but all reporting shows that
Trump is rather old and resigned. I
mean, he's not really a policyheavy
dude. So, Steven Miller is the one who
is rather policyheavy. He He's not a
dumb guy. He's a smart dude who is also
quite evil in his ways. and he's getting
bullied this week, not only by Twitter
at large, but also Gavin Newsome has
taken a special interest in Steven
Miller. And it's exactly what we need. I
feel like Governor Nuomo is really good
at sensing what the American people need
to hear at one point. And I've needed to
hear some Steven Miller hate from a top
government official ever since Terry
Moran got fired for saying something
simple about him. So before I play this
clip, let me run you through a few funny
things that have happened from Governor
Nuome and against Steven Miller.
Governor Nuome's press office posted,
quote, "As previously mentioned, we are
giving serious thought to taking away
Steven Miller's California residency. He
is not a great American and is, in my
opinion, incapable of being so. GCN,
it's a photo of uh Voldemort from Harry
Potter." I mean, I kind of see it. I
think I see it right there. And then
Governor Nuome's press office made a lot
of noise by tweeting out in all caps,
"Stephen Miller is a fascist." This got
7.4 million views. Because Steven Miller
then quoted it and said, "Why do you
think they posted this?" All the Trump
supporters in the replies were saying,
"Because they want you killed. Because
they're violent, because leftists are
crazy." But no, Governor Nuomo
clarified. Governor Nuome said because
you're a fascist. You see it at the
bottom. So Steven Miller says, "Why do
you think they posted this? It's
literally that simple. It's because
you're a fascist." Another Trump
supporter said, "This is a death threat.
He's calling for his followers to
assassinate Steven Miller." Dude, Trump
uses the word fascist all the time.
Trump says way crazier things. He says
the Democratic Party is like the party
of evil. And Micah points out saying
someone has an ideology that they
obviously have is not a death threat.
Like Steven Miller is genuinely actually
a fascist. And I can prove that by
playing simple clips of him. Or what
about this? Steven Miller tweeted out
just a few days ago, just yesterday on
September 26, "We are witnessing
domestic terrorist sedition against the
federal government. The JTF has been
dispatched by the attorney general. All
necessary resources will be utilized."
It says on August 26th, Steven Miller
said the Democratic Party was a
Democratic or sorry, domestic extremist
organization. on September 25th. He said
Newsome calling Trump's administration
authoritarian was quote inciting
violence and terrorism. Yesterday, he
announced Trump's EO countering domestic
terrorism and organized political
violence. Today, he says we are quote
witnessing domestic terrorist sedition
against the federal government. He keeps
going back and forth between being the
terrorist and saying that the other side
is terrorizing the government. I mean, I
want to play for you the vitriol that
this person spews. Let me show you my
clip on CNN where I essentially call out
the double standard in political
violence. This is worth a watch
right here.
Yeah, I'm pretty tired of conservatives
gaslighting about the current political
environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric
when all of this escalation can be
traced back to his entrance into
American politics. His claim to fame was
saying that Obama wasn't born in
America. He was the first presidential
candidate to have his crowd chant lock
her up about a political opponent. You
can bring up the insurrection even in
the past few weeks. my home city of
Chicago. He posted a photo of Chicago
being invaded by the Department of War.
So, the broader point here is Donald
Trump endlessly deflects and tries to
blame it on the other side when he is
the one responsible for amping up the
tension in America. And I've spent all
of my formative years throughout high
school, throughout college, looking to
the president, who I'm supposed to be
able to look up to and seeing somebody
who's trying to place blame on the left,
who's amping up the rhetoric constantly,
and yeah, it's not good. So, you think
it's Donald Trump's fault that a
deranged leftist climbed up to the top
of a building and shot up the ICE
facility? Not
Please notice how that's not what I said
at all. I was making a broader point
about the political environment that's
been created over the past decade. Never
did I say that Donald Trump caused this
dude to go shoot an ICE van. I just said
that Trump has amped up the tension and
it's so clear.
Once now, but twice in Texas.
I think it's Donald Trump's fault that
America has gotten to this heated place.
I think that
no responsibility for the for the
radicalization on the left that's
causing this violent
29year-old is radicalized by online
communities and online algorithms. I'm
not going to blame Donald Trump, but he
he was caught in a lot of online video
game algorithms and all these
communities. Donald Trump 10 years ago,
Donald Trump amped up the tension in
America. It's just
so so he ran 10 years ago and this guy
then 10 years later somehow you're
connecting. Can't you just take
responsibility for it?
Oh.
But let's not do the like he has to take
responsibility cuz he's a Democrat.
I'm a 22-y old YouTuber. You want me to
take more responsibility than the
president of the United States?
That's the point right there. The double
standard here. He He will sit there in
person, point to me and say, "You need
to take responsibility." And then when I
point to words that Donald Trump said,
like actual vitriolic words from Donald
Trump or Steven Miller, apparently this
is totally okay. party does not fight
for, care about, or represent American
citizens. It is an entity devoted
exclusively to the defense of hardened
criminals, gangbangers, and illegal
alien killers and terrorists. The
Democrat party is not a political party.
It is a domestic extremist organization.
Yeah, that's not inflammatory. What
about this next clip from yesterday?
What James Comey did is truly one of the
most severe assaults on our freedoms and
liberties that has occurred in the whole
history of this nation. John,
why does he speak like this? This guy
speaks like his pinky should be held up.
He's like, "This is the most
James Comey did is truly one of the most
severe."
If you don't want to be called a
fascist, then don't talk like an actual
fascist. Steven Miller has constantly
said that Democrats are all terrorists,
that immigrants are all violent criminal
terrorists. It's an organization of
terrorists, yet he tries to blame the
violence on the other side. The way this
dude speaks has no place in American
politics. Steven Miller, Donald Trump,
and the circle around them are basically
responsible for amping up detention in
American politics. I said this in CNN,
but you can trace it back to Trump's
entrance saying that Obama wasn't born
in America. His claim to fame was coming
up with nicknames for his political
opponents. Nicknames that, you know,
were rather crude. That was new. And
then in 2016, he said, "Lock her up.
Lock her up. You can bring up the
insurrection." All of this comes
together to paint a pretty perfect
picture. Are there crazy people online
on the far left that say things? Yes,
sure. Of course, there are going to be
crazy people online. But every single
Democratic politician is responsible
with their rhetoric. And there is no
comparison between what Donald Trump is
doing, what Steven Miller is doing, and
what any Democrat has ever done. If
Obama would have mobilized the National
Guard into one of these states, it would
be over. Governor Nuome's press office
then said, "The White House knows
exactly what it was doing when they
published a list of Democrats who have
used their voice to call out Trump and
Miller's ICE abuses. The list is now
being used by the far right as an
enemy's list. It's reckless. It's
dangerous. and it puts lives at risk.
The governor has made it clear
consistently that violence is never
justified. Trump must tone it down. Very
true. Thank God there is a Democratic
leader calling on Trump to be the first
one to tone it down rather than trying
to like both sides it or walk a line to
not piss people off. But it's just
funny. So Steven Miller uses this insane
rhetoric all the time. And then when
they say when we say Steven Miller is a
fascist or when Newsome says it, all of
the sudden like the world is burning and
political violence is coming for him.
Like dude, maybe look in the mirror.
Don't throw stones in glass houses. I'll
leave it there. Drop a like. Subscribe.
I love you all. Peace up.

COLLAPSING Trump NUKED By LAWSUIT After Post BACKFIRES!
Jack Cocchiarella
Sep 28, 2025 Jack Cocchiarella Show

Political commentator Jack Cocchiarella reacts to Donald Trump being hit by a lawsuit as his authoritarian action backfires.



Transcript

Donald Trump doesn't care. He doesn't
care about Charlie Kirk. He doesn't care
about crime. There is nothing that
Donald Trump actually cares about except
the grift staying out of jail and
expanding his authoritarian project.
Anytime that Donald Trump says that he's
worried about something, trying to
combat it, trying to keep you safe, what
he really means is he's making up some
fear-mongering enemy that he can use to
justify becoming even more fascistic.
And the latest example might be blowing
up in his face like no other because
Donald Trump, after an insane post, is
now being hit with a nice little lawsuit
that we are going to get into and what
the effects are for Steven Miller and
Donald Trump's illegal deportation plan.
But before we do, if I could quickly ask
you to leave a like on this video and if
you haven't already and you enjoy our
channel to hit that subscribe button
because it goes a long way in supporting
our work. Now, before we can get into
the Trump lawsuit that is blowing up one
of the biggest aspects of his
deportation agenda, I want to start with
someone who has been calling it out like
no other, diagnosing how evil it is, and
that's Gavin Newsome right here.
Donald Trump sent mass men to the event,
ICE and Border Patrol, primarily the
Border Patrol to intimidate folks.
Poor guy was selling strawberries was
arrested. I imagine he must have been on
the most wanted list. dangerous felon
disappeared.
That is a preview of things to come.
Don't think for a second he's going to
stop in the National Guard. It's an
interesting fact. 4,000 National Guard
were federalized. Over 700 uh members of
the United States Marine. 95% of them
did nothing. They sat there looking for
things to do. Hundreds plus million
dollars wasted.
literally looking for an assignment.
They were taken off the beat. These are
police officers, your National Guard.
These are firefighters. These are
teachers. These are caregivers. They
were taken off the streets doing real
work to keep you safe and protected to
keep you healthy.
And they sat there in the armory looking
for something to do. He will send the
National Guard. He will send them all
across this country. And he will do so
through election day. And if you think I
am exaggerating, consider the fact that
as he demobilized our National Guard, he
kept hundreds of them through election
day. And he'll do so working in concert,
as he has with ICE and Border Patrol to
do the same.
You have the largest private police
force in the world. When they're done
with this, all that funding and that big
beautiful portrayal allows more
resources for this private police force
that increasingly is showing a tendency
not to swear an oath to the
Constitution, but to the president of
the United States, and he'll be sending
them to voting booths and polling places
all across this country. This is a real
and serious moment in US history. And by
the way, I say that as an American, not
as a Democrat. Every Republican should
be ashamed about this and scared to
death about not just these authoritarian
tendencies, but these authoritarian
actions by the president. He is weak.
His weakness masquerading as strength
and that makes him more dangerous than
most people believe. Donald Trump
doesn't actually care about these issues
and we shouldn't take him seriously.
Donald Trump earlier today said that it
was a a tragedy what took place and it
was at the church in Michigan which was
attacked by a gunman today. But Donald
Trump doesn't actually care about
political violence. Donald Trump doesn't
actually care on what he called an
attack on Christians today. Donald Trump
only wants to use these examples to
expand his authoritarian project. Donald
Trump is responsible for these
shootings. Donald Trump is responsible
for political violence. All of these
events are his fault. So if he actually
cared, he would do something about it
that wasn't just trying to stoke the
flames even further, which is what he
did in this post that led to this
lawsuit. Trump wrote in a truth social
post yesterday at the request of
Secretary of Homeland Security Christine
Noom, "I am directing Secretary of War
Pete Hexath to provide all necessary
troops to protect war ravaged Portland
and any of our ICE facilities under
siege from attack by Antifa and other
domestic terrorists. I am also
authorizing full force if necessary.
Thank you for your attention to this
matter." There is no threat from Antifa.
No one in Portland has turned the city
into a war zone. Donald Trump is simply
after a spectacle that can justify
further action in creating a police
state in America. That's what Donald
Trump wants. It's what he tested out in
DC. He wants to do it in Baltimore. He's
going to do it in Portland. He tried and
failed to do it in Chicago, but he wants
justification to send his troops in to
blue cities around election time. Like
that's what Donald Trump is going to do.
We got to make that incredibly clear and
we got to fight it right now, which is
exactly what's happening with this
lawsuit.

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Case 3:25-cv-01756-SI Document 1 Filed 09/28/25 Page 1 of 41

I. INTRODUCTION

1. The “traditional and strong resistance of Americans to any military intrusion into civilian affairs” has “deep roots in our history.” Laird v. Tatum, 408 U.S. 1, 15 (1972). Our nation’s founders recognized that military rule—particularly by a remote authority indifferent to local needs—was incompatible with liberty and democracy. Foundational principles of American law therefore limit the President’s authority to involve the military in domestic affairs.

2. Those principles stem first from the U.S. Constitution, which reserves the general police power for the states while establishing civilian control over the military. It also affords Congress, not the President, the power “to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.” Art. I, § 8, cl. 15–16. While Congress has delegated a portion of that power to the Executive, it carefully limited the President’s authority to exert control over a state’s National Guard—the modern term for the militia—to specific circumstances. And for over a century and a half, Congress has expressly forbidden federal military interference in civilian law enforcement.

3. Defendants have trampled on these principles by federalizing members of the Oregon National Guard for deployment in Portland, Oregon, to participate in civilian law enforcement. On September 28, 2025, the Secretary of Defense (now referred to as the Secretary of War) issued a memorandum calling into federal service 200 members of the Oregon National Guard. This order effectuated a social media post by President Trump on September 27, 2025, which authorized the Secretary to employ “Troops” using “Full Force” in Portland. Citing nothing more than baseless, wildly hyperbolic pretext—the President says Portland is a “War ravaged” city “under siege” from “domestic terrorists”—Defendants have thus infringed on Oregon’s sovereign power to manage its own law enforcement activity and National Guard resource. Far from promoting public safety, Defendants’ provocative and arbitrary actions threaten to undermine public safety by inciting a public outcry.

4. The facts cannot justify this overreach. While Defendants’ actions appear focused on ongoing protests near an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, those protests have been small in recent weeks—typically involving less than thirty people—and the protesters’ activities have not necessitated any arrests since mid-June. But Defendants’ heavyhanded deployment of troops threatens to escalate tensions and stokes new unrest, meaning more of the Plaintiffs’ law enforcement resources will be spent responding to the predictable consequences of Defendants’ action.

5. Defendants’ deployment of troops to Oregon is patently unlawful. Because their stated basis for federalizing members of Oregon’s National Guard is patently pretextual and baseless, Defendants cannot satisfy any of the three perquisites for involuntarily federalizing a state’s National Guard under 10 U.S.C. § 12406. Defendants’ purpose in federalizing those troops—to integrate them into federal law enforcement activities in Portland—also violates the Posse Comitatus Act.

6. Additionally, Defendants’ actions violate the Tenth Amendment’s guarantee that the police power—including the authority to promote safety at protests and deter violent crime—resides with the states, not the federal government. And by singling out a particular disfavored jurisdiction for political retribution, these actions also eviscerate the constitutional principle that the states’ sovereignty should be treated equally.

7. For these and other reasons discussed below, Defendants’ actions should be declared unlawful and preliminarily and permanently enjoined.

The state of Oregon on Sunday filed a lawsuit to block President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying troops to the city of Portland, one day after the commander-in-chief announced he was sending the National Guard to the “war ravaged” city.

The 41-page filing claimed the president “trampled” on the Constitution by federalizing members of the Oregon National Guard for deployment.

“Our nation’s founders recognized that military rule—particularly by a remote authority indifferent to local needs—was incompatible with liberty and democracy,” the lawsuit said. “Foundational principles of American law therefore limit the president’s authority to involve the military in domestic affairs.”

Trump’s “provocative and arbitrary actions threaten to undermine public safety by inciting a public outcry,” the lawsuit added.

The city of Portland joined the state in the lawsuit, which was filed in a federal court in Portland on Sunday.

On Saturday, Trump posted to Truth Social, “At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists.”

He added, “I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”

Just hours later, Oregon’s Gov. Tina Kotek (D) slammed Trump’s actions during a press conference.

“There is no insurrection. There is no threat to national security, and there is no need for military troops in our major city,” Kotek said. “Military service members should be dedicated to real emergencies. The members of the Oregon National Guard, their mission is to stand up and protect Oregonians, and they will do that every day. But they are not needed in the city. They are not needed here.”

Kotek urged calm, adding, “Let’s not take the bait. Let’s not respond to what the president is trying to do.”

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson (D) also released a statement, saying, “President Trump has directed ‘all necessary Troops’ to Portland, Oregon. The number of necessary troops is zero, in Portland and any other American city. Our nation has a long memory for acts of oppression, and the president will not find lawlessness or violence here unless he plans to perpetrate it.”

Portland is just the latest “blue” city to be targeted by Trump’s troop deployment., including Los Angeles; Washington, D.C; and Memphis. Trump threatened to send troops to Chicago, but has yet to follow-through on that city.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed the lawsuit after Hegseth sent a memo to Gov. Kotek, authorizing 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to be sent to Portland for 60 days. Rayfield, in a statement, said that the city and state are “stable” and deploying troops is unwarranted.

Just in, Oregon sues Trump for
unlawful troop deployment incompatible
with liberty and democracy. The state of
Oregon on Sunday filed a lawsuit to
block Donald Trump's administration from
deploying troops to the city of Portland
one day after the commander-in-chief
announced he was sending the National
Guard to the war ravaged city. The
41page filing claimed the president
trampled on the Constitution by
federalizing members of the Oregon
National Guard for deployment. Our
nation's founders recognized that
military rule, particularly by a remote
authority, authority indifferent to
local needs, was incompatible with
liberty and democracy, the lawsuit said.
Foundational principles of American law
therefore limit the president's
authority to involve the military in
domestic affairs. Trump's provocative
and arbitrary actions threaten to
undermine public safety by inciting a
public outcry, the lawsuit added. The
city of Portland joined the state in the
lawsuit which was filed in federal court
in Portland on Sunday. On Saturday,
Trump of course made that insane post
authorizing full force. Just hours
later, Oregon's governor slammed Trump's
actions during a press conference. There
is no insurrection. There is no threat
to national security and there is no
need for military troops in our major
city. The governor said military service
members should be dedicated to real
emergencies. Of course, Donald Trump
doesn't care. The governor also urged,
"Let's not take the bait. Let's not
respond to what the president is trying
to do." The mayor of Portland also added
in a released statement saying, "Trump
has directed all necessary troops to
Portland, Oregon. The number of
necessary troops is zero in Portland and
in any other American city. Our nation
has a long memory for acts of of
oppression, and the president will not
find lawlessness or violence here unless
he plans to perpetrate it." That is what
Donald Trump wants. Donald Trump wants
you to believe that Portland is this
violent city in chaos. But as we can see
here, all of the images of Portland or
of people living peacefully, hanging
out. The only person who is trying to
create a stir is Donald Trump because
that is what he is fundamentally focused
on. This is all a game to him. It is all
a stunt. It is all a bit. And that is
especially the case in the wake of the
Charlie Kirk shooting.

*

MAGA is not rallying around some figure that they
think they need to grieve. They are
rallying around a a puppet whose body
they think they can use to perpetrate
their agenda. And no one seems to be
casket surfing. Actually, funny enough,
not just more than Donald Trump is not
the person winning at that at that
battle. It's not. Funny enough, it's
this kid Briand Holly who who just
you've never heard before, but I talked
about the real biggest exploiter of
Charlie Kirk's death who isn't Trump
surprisingly with my buddy Cam Cowsky on
the bulwark. And I want you to take a
look because this is really interesting.
If you thought that Donald Trump was
exploiting Charlie Kirk's death, wait
till you take a look at the casket
surfing conservative kid who thinks that
he's Charlie Kirk's protege.

[quote]I'm Jack Cocciarella on the Bulwark,
joined by Cam Casy to talk about Briand Hollahand, a
name that you haven't heard before
probably and hopefully we'll never
actually have to hear again.
Brilyn Hollyhand is being framed as the
successor to Charlie Kirk. Um, he I
think he's like 14 years old or some
[ __ ] like that. And he he's really
interesting. I'm so excited to get into
this conversation because if you thought
Charlie Kirk was bad, we've got a
Charlie Kirk here whose delivery is just
so much worse. Um, but first I want to
give you a quick look at Brilyn Hollyhand's
grief in the wake of Charlie Kirk's
gruesome killing. Let's take a look.
It's also an incredible story that you
share with us really quickly, Brilyn Hollyhand ,
about um fourth grade aa podcast. That's
incredible. And Charlie Kirk appears on
your podcast.
Tell me about the role he played for you
as a mentor.
He's so happy.
Yeah. Again, somebody didn't have to do
that. He was on Fox News every other
hour that year. He didn't have to make
time as an 11-year-old with this
upcoming podcast in the fourth grade to
come on and join me. But he did. And not
only was it a onetime thing that's a bad
looking Charlie's a better looking guy.
I'm not saying Charlie's a good looking
guy
to do that. He could have competition.
All right, we've had enough of this
time.
Yeah. So, I don't like to act like human
beings experiencing grief. Cannot smile
and laugh in the different moments where
anybody can find joy. But I mean, this
kid looks like it's [ __ ] Christmas
morning and his parents just got him
like the biggest Lego set in the entire
world. And I think that it speaks to how
the larger conservative movement has
responded to the death of Charlie Kirk.
It's been a huge career opportunity for
them and you're seeing it's putting kids
like this on the map.
Yeah. And I want to play off your point
there a little bit that people can, you
know, feel grief differently, but like
Erica Kirk sending out email blast and
coming out to pyrochnics isn't exactly
like I mourned for my husband, but this
kid is especially bad because it's very
obvious what he is. And that's just
like, as they would say in the movie
industry or the music industry, he's an
industry plant. His dad is a mega donor.
He didn't have an upcoming podcast when
he was in the fourth grade that he was
getting Charlie Kirk on because he was
so inspiring.
Straight because you've known who this
guy is. This guy has been on your map. A
lot of people, including people who
watch this stuff as closely as you, um,
were not aware of who Brilyn Hollyhand
was. I had never seen Brilyn Hollyhand . I
like to keep Can you just give me like
the Wikipedia one paragraph look into
what this kid's all about?
I uh I am upset with myself for how
chronically online I am just because all
this week with this kid has been popping
up for a certain video that we're going
to check out a little bit and you're
going to get a big laugh out of. I
promise. Um people have been like, I
have never seen this kid before.
Unfortunately, I have because he is a
part of a a certain Fox News circuit
that drives me crazy. We have refused to
uplift up-and-coming folks on the left and
and and bring them into like kind of
more of our mainstream spaces. We're
doing a lot better of a job with that
building out independent media. But Fox
will bring on the most sauceless like
credentialist young people in the world
to just go and deliver bad talking
points on like Saturday and Friday
nights when no one is watching. And
you'd see this kid a lot and he'd always
make the same like blue hair, nose ring,
liberal joke and no one would laugh.
He's got no sauce. He's got no charisma.
He came from the fact that his dad is a
is a mega donor of the GOP and they got
a ton of money because his father was
like a slum lord building section 8
housing. Like that's literally it. That
that is it. That is the Briand Holly
Hand or whatever the hell his name is
story is that his daddy's got a bunch of
bucks. He gives money to a ton of GOP
candidates. his son's got a podcast that
nobody watches and so he gets to appear
on Fox and act like he has credibility
or or or some personality, which he just
doesn't. And now in the wake of the
Charlie Kirk shooting, in the wake of
his death, this kid is saying that he's
traveling the country to talk on college
campuses when really he's just going to
meet with like 20 of the young
Republicans and the Young Republicans
club on any given college campus.
Bro's getting put on Ben Shapiro. He's
getting put on the Fox News shows like
that. No one likes this kid is the is
the main thing. Like he doesn't have an
audience.
But that's, you know, that's how that's
how what I would have said about JD
Vance. Like nobody liked JD Vance even
when he became the [ __ ] vice
president of the United States, right?
It's all just MAGA world being this
large narrative of if you like Trump, we
all like each other, which is something
that the left is uh understandably
missing.
This is what MAGA wants to do. They want
to exploit any crisis, any any shooting,
any act of political violence for their
own gain. And in this instance, for for
Briand, who's a interesting type of
person to be a conservative, I'll leave
it at that. I think you can fill in the
blanks. Um, of what type of person I'm
referring to for Brian to be and also be
a part of the far right, the far
Christian right. I think we can fill
everything in. I don't think I
necessarily need to say that Brian might
be.
I think you can kind of guess where I'm
going there. But this is a kid who's
clearly trying to capitalize as so many
are right now. None of these people
cared about Charlie Kirk. I I doubt that
any of them were like really friends.
Even his wife is fundraising off of his
death. As always is the case with the
followers of Donald Trump. They have
learned one thing and that is the grift.

BREAKING: Trump prosecutor endures COURTROOM DISASTER
Brian Tyler Cohen and Glenn Kirschner
Sep 28, 2025 Brian Tyler Cohen

Legal Breakdown episode 603: Inexperienced Trump prosecutor encounters fed up judge



Transcript

You're watching the legal breakdown,
Glenn. We've got a disaster in court
with Donald Trump's newly appointed US
attorney in the Eastern District of
Virginia, the attorney that was put in
place expressly so that this
administration could prosecute James
Comey and what I presume will be Leticia
James. Now, I'm going to put a tweet up
up here on the screen uh courtesy of the
senior editor from Lawfair, and this is
the magistrate judge in this case trying
to untangle Lindseay Halligan's first
venture into indicting someone. So, I
thought what would be interesting here
is if you and I read both parts because
we've got uh Lindsay Hallagan and we've
also got the judge in this case talking
to each other. So, Glenn, you play the
role of the court, the judge and I'll
play the role of Lindseay Halligan. And
we'll read this through to give
everybody watching right now an idea of
what just went down in court.
Well, here you go, Brian. I am the
presiding judge. And the judge says,
"So, this has never happened before.
I've been handed two documents that are
in the Mr. Comey case that are
inconsistent with one another. The one
that says it's a failure to concur in an
indictment. It doesn't say with respect
to one count. It looks like they failed
to concur across all three counts. So,
I'm a little confused as to why I was
handed two things with the same case
number that are inconsistent.
So, I I only reviewed the one with the
two counts that our office reddrafted
when we found out about the the two two
counts that were true build and and and
I signed that one. I I did not see the
other one. I I I don't know where that
came from.
You didn't see it?
I I did not see that one.
So, your office didn't prepare the
indictment that they
No, no, no, no, no. I I I No. I I
prepared three counts. I only signed the
one the two count. I don't I don't know
which one the three counts you have in
your hands.
Okay. It has your signature on it.
Okay. Uh well,
so Glenn, that's that's the exchange
there. You obviously have much more
experience in court than the vast
majority of folks who are watching this
video right now. Can you give an idea of
just how unorthodox this exchange was in
a courtroom?
Brian, this represents unparalleled
incompetence and imbecility. That those
are the only words I can come up with.
It is a very important moment in a
criminal case when a judge for the first
time um is in a position to look at and
affirm the propriety of an a felony
indictment, particularly one that was
brought for the first time in our
nation's history against an FBI
director. Talk about an extraordinarily
important, weighty, and even I would say
solemn moment. And Lindseay Halagan
doesn't know what the hell she's doing,
what she's reviewed, what she's
authorized, what she signed, what it
means. This reads like something that I
don't even think the satirical
publication The Onion could put together
or envision. And here is immediately
what I think of because I've been in
this position. I've presented
indictments. We've had arraignments in,
you know, hundreds and hundreds of cases
that I've handled personally. And um
here is immediately where my mind went.
The grand jury is a secret proceeding by
law. And what that means, Brian, is it
it it's almost impossible to pierce the
veil of grand jury secrecy. That is a
tried andrue phrase that we hear any
time a defense attorney will in attack
the quality or the the propriety or the
lawfulness of a criminal indictment. The
prosecutor will say, "Your honor, you
know, there is almost no precedent
allowing the defense to pierce the veil
of secrecy and discover what went on
inside the grand jury. It's just not
done. There are lots of important policy
reasons not to let defendants pierce the
veil of secrecy. But here's the thing,
it can be done and it has been done in
the past in relatively few
circumstances. When there's an
affirmative showing that there has been
potential corruption or something
dramatically inappropriate, unlawful, or
unethical that has gone on before the
grand jury, the judge may very well
allow the defendant to pierce the veil
of secrecy and put on full display for
all to see exactly what Lindseay Hallan
did inside that grand jury that
prompted, you know, at least 12 grand
jurors, which is how many it takes to
vote in favor of an indictment. Voted in
favor of this indictment that Lindseay
Halligan doesn't even understand what's
in the two documents. You don't present
two indictments. You present one. The
two documents that she presented to the
magistrate judge and she then fumbled
and stumbled around to even explain them
to the judge's satisfaction. This may
end up being a very good thing for the
cause of justice and for James Comey,
but a very bad thing for Lindseay
Halligan, for the Department of Justice
writ large because if they expose the
public view what Lindsey Halagan did,
and it is as bad as this brief
transcript e excerpt suggests it might
be, you know, she's going to find
herself referred to bar counsel for an
ethics investigation. And just a quick
note before we continue to move on. Uh
for those who are watching right now, if
you'd like to stay on top of this legal
news, please make sure to subscribe. The
links to both of our channels are in the
post description of this v video. Great
way to support our work, great way to
support independent media. What impact
does this have on the case right now?
Like to what extent does does an
incompetent prosecutor uh alter the case
or can you just be an incompetent
prosecutor? Can you not know what you're
doing and still get full deference from
this judge?
Yeah, that's a great question. So, there
is a what we call a presumption of
regularity that prosecutors are doing
the right thing in the right way for the
right reasons. I don't think Lindseay
Halligan or Pam Bondi's Department of
Justice as controlled by Donald Trump
who, let's face it, has anointed himself
lead prosecutor in all criminal cases
against his enemies. I don't think any
of them are entitled to the presumption
of regularity. I mean they are proving
that day in and day out. Now when you
ask about an incompetent prosecutor you
know there there is no rule or precedent
that says well a judge has to assess the
competence of the prosecutor.
Prosecutors come in all stripes in all
flavors good bad competent incompetent
expert novice um ethical and unethical.
Um, but you know, it's not really the
competence of the prosecutor that will
impact the trajectory of the case. It is
if the judge sees that something has
gone on that is a violation of the rule
of law, a violation of the rules of
procedure that govern the grand jury.
Because remember, our our viewers should
remember the grand jury is an arm of the
court, not an arm of the executive
branch, the prosecution. it is
supervised quite literally by the chief
judge of the federal district court in
which the grand jury sits. So if there's
something that is done that either
violates the rule of law, the
constitution or the rules of procedure
or there is something that potentially
violates a constitutional or statutory
right of the defendant which may have
gone on here in the way the grand jury
indictment was obtained by Lindseay
Hallan then that could result in
dismissal. But I don't want people to
get too excited about the prospect of
this indictment being dismissed based on
some of what we are now learning because
if a judge dismisses an indictment for
some impropriy in the grand jury, that
will almost always give the prosecutors
the ability to go back into the grand
jury, clean it up, and issue a a
subsequent indictment that might
withstand an attack from the defense.
Um, however, all bets are off here
because of the evidence of
vindictiveness, as you know,
demonstrated by Donald Trump's
statements and posts over time saying
that he wants his enemy, James Comey,
prosecuted, evidence be damned. Um, that
may end up resulting at some point in a
dismissal with prejudice, meaning
there's no way this case could ever be
brought back in court. So I understand
that that even if Lindsey Haligan is
flailing around that she might be uh
that she might be given this presumption
of regularity in the court, but does I
guess as a broader question here, does
her inability to not fumble around like
a novice prosecutor, can that still kind
of present itself in the way she argues
this court? And so in the in the same
way that she has no idea what she's
doing here as this whole process is
beginning, don't you expect to see her
inexperience kind of present itself when
she actually argues the thing? And if
she's arguing in a way that's
inexperience, that betrays her
inexperience, won't that just lend
itself to to a lower likelihood of her
actually getting this prosecution
against James Comey where it needs to
be?
Oh, absolutely, Brian. If she is the
prosecutor in this case, put a pin in
that for a second. I would expect given
what we just saw, the kind of opening
salvo that this transcript represents
her incompetence and I would say
imbecility and she's entirely
illprepared to even answer basic
questions from the magistrate judge that
will clearly, you know, manifest itself
in these proceedings as um her not being
able to litigate her way out of a paper
bag. I mean, she listen, she cannot come
up to snuff on the experience required
to competently try a really significant
federal court prosecution in a matter of
days, weeks, or even months. So, she
will go down in flames if she is the
prosecutor in the case. I don't suspect
she will be. And here's why. There are
already rumblings that she's been trying
to find prosecutors in the Eastern
District of Virginia, United States
Attorney's Office, to handle the case.
And it looks like, at least
inferentially, there are no takers. Not
surprisingly, because I think anybody
who went into court as a Department of
Justice uh prosecutor or as an assistant
United States attorney, that's what we
call line prosecutors, will be putting
their license to practice law on the
line. You can't go in and try to prop up
a vindictive prosecution that is not
supported by the evidence, which is what
all of the public reporting tends to
indicate, especially when you look at
the testimony of James Comey twice over
before congressional committees. They're
not going to have the goods to convict
even if an ex even in the hands of an
expert prosecutor. So, here is what
might happen, and bear with me because I
suspect this is what will end up
happening. They're going to look for
somebody over at the main Department of
Justice, not even at the US Attorney's
Office for the Eastern District of
Virginia, and they're going to try to
find some political appointee of Donald
Trump, some flunky, some lap dog, some
sickopant who might have some court
experience, and take that person from
the main Department of Justice across
the river in DC, put them over in that
courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, and
try to get that person to prosecute this
vindictive, evidence-free, baseless
prosecution. So, I don't know that
you'll actually see see Lindseay
Halligan other than as a potted plant
second chair sitting at council table,
but not actively engaging in the
litigation itself.
But doesn't that put the political
appointee in the same position that any
prosecutor would have been put in?
Meaning, if you're going to engage in a
vindictive prosecution, then your law
license can be on the line. Whether
you're a high higher ranking political
appointee in main justice or uh a a
regular pro rank and file prosecutor in
the Eastern District of Virginia, don't
you still don't you still butt up
against the same issue for these
prosecutors?
Absolutely. But the point I'm trying to
make is that the rank and file
prosecutors who know what you know it
takes to go into federal court in
Alexandria, Virginia, the rocket docket.
We've got a lot of nononsense judges
there, including the one who has drawn
this assignment and who will preside
over the Comey case. They know what
they're getting into, which is why
inferentially we're beginning to hear
that they're refusing to do it. So, he's
going to have to get a political
appointee who will be on the hook
ethically the way anybody else would.
But I have a feeling that may be the
only person they may be able to find,
some lap dog political appointee to go
in and put his or her bar license on the
line to please dear leader.
Last question on this. Can prosecutors,
whether it's a rank and file prosecutor
in Eastern Virginia or in Maine justice,
can they disobey an order from either,
you know, Lindseay Halligan or Donald
Trump to go in and argue this case?
Like, to what extent do they have
discretion here?
That's a great question, and I'm I want
to be upfront with the viewers. There's
no hard and fast answer to that question
like there is in the military. And let
me use that by way of analogy. I was an
active duty army jag for six and a half
years. We are required by our oath of
loyalty to the constitution and our
military obligations. We are required to
obey lawful orders, but we're also
required to disobey patently unlawful
orders. So, we know the dos and don'ts
of military service, what we're allowed
to do. um in the in the civilian sector
in the federal government it's not quite
so clear you know if a a supervisor
comes and tries to give you an
assignment and you try to decline you
refuse to accept that assignment it sort
of depends on the reason now if you
stand up and say listen my my loyalty
not only to the constitution but to the
code of ethics that I am bound to uh to
comply with mandate that I can't accept
this assignment. The next question
becomes, well, could the Trump
administration could Lindsey Hallagan
retaliate by, you know, just unlawfully
terminating somebody's employment? Well,
the answer is of course they could
because they've done it several times
over to, for example, January 6
prosecutors. So, you know, the the the
question of what are the implications of
declining to accept an assignment that a
supervisor tries to give you, you know,
you may still have all sorts of legal
and procedural protections as a civil
servant going to the MSPB, the Merit
Systems Protection Board, for example.
But, you know, all of that is sort of
tossed out the window in the age of
Trump because they don't really care if
they unlawfully terminate people. They
basically do it and they challenge that
person to yeah, you go ahead and try to,
you know, vindicate your rights that
were just violated and we will make that
equally difficult. But if you win a
challenge at the end of the day and you
have to be reinstalled with back pay,
what does the Trump administration care?
Because who foots the bill for that? We
do. The American taxpayers,
right? But at a bare minimum, these
people uh will at least retain their law
license and their ability to to provide
for themselves and and their family,
which you know, you can't you can't say
the same thing for the Rudy Giulianis
and and uh and other Trumpick events of
the world who have kind of listened to
him and engaged in this uh fools in
these fools errands and have seen the
consequences of doing exactly that.
Yeah, Brian, let me let me build on that
because that's a great point. You know,
part of what you asked previously was,
well, don't these political appointees,
if they come over from Maine justice and
try to prosecute, vindictively prosecute
Comey, don't they put their law licenses
on the line? I said they do. And not
only that, they will probably join the
ignoble club of Rudy Giuliani, Kenneth
Chzboro, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman,
attorneys who have been disbarred or are
still pending disbarment because they
were willing to do the dirty, unethical,
nefarious bidding of Donald Trump.
Right. Well, look, uh, this process is
obviously playing out right now. So, for

Trump's COGNITION Questioned After Posting FAKE "Medbed" AI Video
Really American
Sep 28, 2025

Really American host Steve Harness breaks down Trump posting a fake AI video of himself without seemingly realizing her never said those words and the whole "Medbed" story is fake!



Transcript

What if I told you there's a secret
medical technology out there that can
cure cancer, reverse aging, regrow
limbs, and even bring people back from
the brink of death?
Well, I would say you're batshita crazy.
And if anyone in a position of authority
is pushing this kind of conspiracy
theory garbage that they should lose
their jobs or get arrested for selling
snake oil. And if for some crazy reason
the president of the United States, use
the power of the White House to announce
something like this, I would say it's
time to send Grandpa Trump off to Shady
Acres retirement home and call it a day
for democracy and common sense. Yet that
is exactly what just happened. Our dear
leader just posted a deep fake AI video
of himself promoting this medbed
conspiracy and absolutely nobody on the
right is sounding the alarm or getting
the cabinet together to enact the 25th
amendment and remove him from office.
I I I I'm I'm
I don't know what to say other than hit
subscribe to Really American Media
because unfortunately I just spent my
entire morning going down QAnon
conspiracy theory rabbit holes to learn
what the hell a medbed is. Now I'm here
to share the insanity that is America in
2025.
Greetings terans. This is Commander
Immano Ru with the Galactic Federation
of Worlds here today to talk about
medbeds. Will humanity receive these?
It's not a matter of will, but when?
Unfortunately, sickness is extremely
profitable to many companies. And as
long as greed takes priority over the
well-being of humanity, unfortunately,
this technology will not exist.
Yeah, that guy who is even an
embarrassment to trekies is promoting
the same thing that our president is. Q
Anon believes in something called
medbeds that can apparently cure all
diseases. The medbed as I had said to
you guys is being guarded by the
military and the divine beings and it
will be released when it is safe for
everyone to have access to it because
the if we released it prematurely
although we would like as many people to
get healed now if it is released
prematurely and the wrong side gets a
hold of it again like they did uh many
many decades ago So then we will be back
to square one and you will have
pharmaceutical industries thriving
instead of the weed people being
healthy.
So does the idea of a medbed that can
cure all medical issues and even regrow
missing limbs sound too good to be true.
Well that's because it obviously is. But
that hasn't stopped the tinfoil hack
crowd from spreading fake videos like
this.
Mr. President, it's wonderful to have
you on. What can you tell us about this
amazing new scientific invention?
Well, Clara, thank you and everyone on
Fox News for having me on. I'm joining
you tonight to share some news on our
progress with this incredible new medbed
technology. The Tesla Medbed is a very
high techch piece of medical equipment
that is used to heal people of all kinds
of diseases, ailments, aging, and even
mortality. Now, isn't it interesting
that they made that fake video to look
like a Fox News broadcast? Maybe it's
because they know that the Fox News
viewers are a bunch of gullible sheep
that might actually believe that sort of
insanity. After all, I mean, they
believe Trump is qualified to be
president and have also rallied around
this guy. Is a very high-tech piece of
medical equipment that is used to heal
people of all kinds of diseases,
ailments, aging, and even mortality. It
is an incredible piece of technology and
has had truly remarkable healing results
for patients all over the world. People
from all ages and all walks of life have
used a Tesla medbed to heal from some of
the most severe and even terminal
illnesses.
Yeah, that's also AI. And again, these
medbeds are 100% fake. Yet, none of this
stopped the president of the United
States of America from posting this
video on social media late last night. a
video that he would obviously know is
fake because he's in it saying things he
never said.
President Donald J. Trump has announced
a historic new health care system, the
launch of America's first medbed
hospitals and a national medbed card for
every citizen.
Every American will soon receive their
own MedBed card. With it, you'll have
guaranteed access to our new hospitals
led by the top doctors in the nation.
Equipped with the most advanced
technology in the world, these
facilities are safe, modern, and
designed to restore every citizen to
full health and strength. This is the
beginning of a new era in American
healthcare.
In this first phase, only a limited
number of med bed cards will be
released. Registration details will be
announced very soon.
Seriously, what in the holy effing hell
did we just watch? Trump actually posted
that last night. And maybe Grandpa
Trump, who is 79, should have the keys
to the White House taken away, or at
least take his cell phone away after
8:00 p.m. like I used to do with my
children. And it really makes me wonder
if Trump, the second oldest man to ever
serve as president, thought that was
real or plausible or funny, which it
isn't. Who knows? Because early this
morning, somebody deleted that post. And
now I guess we're all supposed to just
uh move on. Pretend the so-called leader
of the free world doesn't sound like a
QAnon podcast host.
We're going to be talking a lot about
the medbeds. You know a lot about them,
right, Jonathan? I mean, this stuff is
swirling around. A lot of people I get
emails all the time about when are the
medbeds coming out. I know they're they
are set to come out at a certain time um
when the medical industry gets cleaned
up. And maybe Trump world deleted that
post because the president was
immediately mocked by anybody with more
than two brain cells. So that excludes
Mega and Qanon. Mr. Gavin Newsome chimed
in saying Trump is about to shut down
the government and rip health care from
20 million Americans. What's he doing?
Posting AI generated slop about miracle
hospital beds that cure all illness.
Donald Trump has lost it. Yeah. score
one for Gavin and subtract a million
points if you voted for Trump. Speaking
of President Cinkles, this tweet is
spoton by saying, quote, "Clearly these
miracle beds do not exist because if
they did, they would have cured Trump's
dementia, obesity, and severely swollen
ankles by now." Touche. And someone even
asked Elon Musk's own AI chatbot if
medbeds are real. and Grock replied, "A
medbed card refers to a fictional
concept from online conspiracy theories
often tied to QAnon or far-right
circles. It supposedly grants access to
medbeds, imaginary high-tech beds that
instantly heal any illness or injury
using advanced or alien technology. It's
not real. It's part of baseless claims
about hidden medical miracles." The term
popped up in recent viral posts
imagining a policy for free cards to all
Americans. And yeah, that free card
thing is what our dear leader just
posted for millions of people to see. I
honestly cannot believe this is an
actual story I'm reporting on. But
seeing is believing, and I need you to
never forget that this actually
happened. These facilities are safe,
modern, and designed to restore every
citizen to full health and strength.
This is the beginning of a new era in
American healthcare.
Yeah. And again, somebody did delete
that post, but in this modern era,
nothing has ever really deleted from the
internet, so I'm glad I got the copies
to share with you. Please don't forget
that this ever happened. And all of this
has people saying the same thing. That's
nice. Now release the Epstein files. And
we could not agree more. So like this
video, share it worldwide so everyone
can see what a show America is
right now. Then comment below and get
vocal. From the vocal minority with Nick
and Steve podcast, I'm Steve Harnesses
for Really American Media.

INTERVIEW: Is there dirt on Donald Trump?
George Galloway
Sep 25, 2025

The American public is turning on the Netanyahu regime, says Judge Napolitano, in revulsion at what the criminal apartheid government is doing in Gaza. And Donald Trump doesn't life a finger against it



Transcript

The judge is here, Andrew Napolitano,
and I'm very glad to call him the host
of Judging Freedom because our freedom
now hangs in the balance. Judge
Napoleano, thanks for joining us.
There's so much I'd like to talk to you
about. I know that you are friendly with
Donald Trump. I don't want to be
insulting to him, but I thought he
embarrassed your country at the United
Nations yesterday. What did you think?
Well, George, it's always a pleasure to
be with you, my dear friend, and uh
apologies for my coming on not at the
appointed time and thank you for your
generosity by giving me this time with
you. Uh, I thought he embarrassed the
United States and embarrassed himself
uh with the rantings and uh and ravings
um uh against the United Nations and
about climate control. And then even
worse, George, the statements he made
afterwards
uh about Ukraine, that Ukraine can, in
his word, all in caps, win and actually
take back Crimea and the Donbos and all
the regions now um uh under returned by
the Russian military uh to the Russian
Federation. Uh this type of statement is
inconceivable.
Not only is it not possible, it's not
even conceivable. It's not even worthy
of discussing other than to try and
figure out what's in the man's brain.
The best I can say is that he's teasing
everybody and wants to throw people off.
The worst I can say is he listens to
whoever he's been speaking to last,
which in this case was probably either
Sebastian Gorka or General uh Keith
Kellogg because the two of them are of
this view that with enough military
equipment uh Ukraine, which has very
little left of its military,
uh can somehow uh send the Russians home
uh packing. They do not understand the
origins of the war. The origins of the
war are the United States of America and
NATO. NATO expanding to Russian borders
and the United States along with the
British intelligence, CIA and MI6,
candidly probably led by MI6 uh
perpetrated a coup against the popularly
uh elected and relatively neutral uh
president uh in 2014 in Ukraine. And
then when Trump came into the White
House, he armed Ukraine to the teeth.
And then of course uh he was no longer a
president and Joe Biden uh decided to
fund this war. So I'm I'm very
disappointed in President Trump. I am
equally disappointed, George, in Gaza.
This is one of uh the most horrific
events in the postw World War II era.
Uh, the Congress of the United States
and the White House are in a vice grip
controlled by the American Zionist
oligarchs who know if they have dirt on
Donald Trump. I don't know if they have
threatened Donald Trump. I know they
have given his campaigns enormous
amounts of money. The public in America
is turning on the Netanyahu regime. This
has nothing to do with the Jewish people
or so-called anti-semitism.
This is a revulsion at what the criminal
apartheid government of Israel is doing
to the poor uh people uh of Gaza and
Donald Trump doesn't lift a finger
against it. I'm sorry I went on so long,
George, but I wanted to give you my
thoughts about Trump on all three areas.
what he said at the UN, what he's doing
with Ukraine, and what he's doing with
Gaza.
Uh, your honor, you could never go on
too long uh for me. I could listen to
you and frequently have listened to you
all night. Let's take the issue
serriatam.
Uh the
uh I was in Moscow when the truth social
post was made. I was in Moscow when the
speech at the UN was made.
I told our earlier guest, our good
friend Daniel McAdam, the stock market
in Moscow crashed. Uh it fell very
substantially
and the public mood was
uh well it looks like that war that
Donald Trump was going to solve in 24
hours will probably still be going on 24
months from now. It's quite clear,
unless Trump was joking, unless he's
going to pull a rabbit out of a hat
tomorrow,
that
Trump has given NATO. And by the way,
your honor, he keeps referring to NATO
in the as a third party, in the third
person,
as if America wasn't in NATO, as if
America wasn't the main thing in NATO.
and paying almost 3/4 of its costs. He's
basically saying, "Well, NATO can make
war on them if it likes." As if he
wasn't its leader.
But whichever way you dice it, this week
seems to suggest that this war in
Ukraine is going to drag on and on and
on and will be settled only on the
battlefield. Well, our two mutual
friends who are military experts, the
great Scott Ritter, actually three, uh,
the great Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson and
the great Colonel Douglas McGregor,
uh, agree with you that it'll be settled
on the battlefield, but they don't think
it's going to go on for 24 months
because there just will not be enough
human beings alive
uh, in the uh, Ukrainian military to use
the milit military equipment that NATO
will be sending uh to it. Um you know,
General Kellogg made this ridiculous
statement recently, if Putin had a real
army, he'd be in Kev right now. Well,
Putin doesn't want to be in Kev.
President Putin's goal is to degrade the
Ukrainian military so that the Russian
people don't have to go through this for
the next 20 years. and how uh General
Kellogg, a retired three-star general,
cannot understand that must mean that
he's blinded uh by ideology. But I agree
with you entirely. Even in the uh truth
social, Trump refers to his own tweets
as truth. Even in the truth social uh
where he uh referred to Ukraine can win,
he said with the help of NATO, of
course, as you say, forgetting that for
every dollar spent uh 75 cents of it uh
came uh from the United States. He also
seems to forget
that the CIA is on the ground uh in
Ukraine
uh helping identify Russian targets for
Ukrainian military and the American
military is in Visboden, Germany uh
helping to direct the uh propulsion of
American and British missiles uh against
Russian troops. He seems to forget that
those events, those processes only occur
with his permission, a permission he
could terminate with a telephone call.
So, um, and of course,
the satellites also, judge,
correct,
Americans American satellites are are
are completely indispensable. The war
would end if American intelligence from
American satellites was discontinued.
Correct. You you alluded to the fact
that his bizarre statement about Ukraine
can win might be a joke. There are a lot
of people here in the US and friends of
yours and mine in Moscow with whom I
communicated today who do believe it
might be a joke. But George, if it's a
joke, it's a sad, sick joke, which is a
window into a mind that I don't want to
go there because I'm afraid what I'm
going to find. Well, I know you don't
want to go there and because I've tested
that before with you and I I don't want
to spoil or despoil in any way your
relationship with Donald Trump, but I
you know my thoughts at the end of his
uh free form stream of consciousness
was that this is not a well man.
No, I'm sorry to say I agree with you,
George. I mean, he's my friend, but I
I'm in the same business that you are.
And like you, I have to be
intellectually honest, and I'm sorry
that I agree with you. A friend of mine
uh texted me last night when this
bizarre statement came out and said,
"This is 25th amendment territory.
The 25th amendment allows the vice
president and a majority of the
president's cabinet to depose him." Now,
I don't think that that's going to
happen, but but the the person that said
this to me is someone whose in for whose
intellect I have enormous uh respect. Uh
and it has people thinking
uh to use the language of the streets,
there are some screws loose up there.
Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Absolutely. Let's
turn uh your honor to to uh Gaza. He
met, Donald Trump met with all the Arab
leaders
uh many of them heads of state
presidents. The Amir ofQatar was there.
President Erdogan of Turkey was there.
Most of the Arab and Muslim countries
were represented at the meeting. Donald
Trump said it was his most important
meeting of this current session of the
General Assembly.
What could he have said to them though
uh that I mean if they're that important
and I agree they are to America's
interests to the interests of stability
in the world bringing to an end
slaughter and so on. What could he have
said to them about the fact that
the Palestinians are being massacred
in plain sight?
The West Bank is being settled by
illegal settlers in plain sight that
Israel has declared there will be no
Palestinian state. What's left to talk
about? What how does Donald Trump square
that with these Arab and Muslim leaders?
You know, he not only has It's a great
question, George. He not only has the
tendency
uh of repeating what has been whispered
into his ear last, I suggested Sebastian
Gorka, who's a notorious whisperer and
who's almost always with him and who's a
fanatic Zionist
and a fanatic neocon. But he also has a
tendency to want to please his audience.
The statement about Ukraine uh winning
uh was made in the presence of President
Zullinski. So uh Trump who has a
weakness and that he he wants to be
loved often says what he thinks the
audience wants to hear. Look, I my my
heart is exactly where yours is. But I
have no praise for those Arab leaders
with whom he met. They are gutless. The
Amir of Qatar should have said, "Get out
of our air our air base. You're going to
allow this to happen. You're going to
reduce our air defenses. You're going to
turn off our radar. You're not a friend
or an ally. You're a tool of BB
Netanyahu." And Erdogan should say,
"We're not going to sell the Israelis
any more oil. Not a drop of oil. I don't
care if my oil companies go bankrupt.
I'm going to stop the slaughter in Gaza.
We have another mutual friends that
friend that we both like and admire, my
former Fox colleague and fellow
podcaster and still my friend and I know
yours Tucker Carlson.
Tucker two days ago while interviewing
Glenn Greenwald said that he has spoken
to people in Israel who have been in
Benjamin Netanyahu's presence and have
heard Netanyahu boast that he controls
Trump and he controls the Congress of
the United States boasting and bragging
about it. I believe that Tucker believes
the accuracy and honesty of those in
Israel who told him this. And Tucker,
notwithstanding what happened to Charlie
Kirk, has the moral courage
uh and backbone to say this on uh on his
show. And I'm going to guess you agree
with me. None of this surprises me,
George.
None of it surprises me, but I'm being
surprised hourly and I'm grateful for
your time, judge. Uh, and this is the
last question, but it's a big one.
I'm being surprised hourly by the
evidence that is emerging
which is not conclusive in one form or
another yet. But one thing is clear to
me that the FBI
cash Patel official narrative of how
Charlie was killed is not only untrue
but cannot be true.
And if they're lying about the weapon,
if they're lying about the shooter,
that means they're lying about
everything. And that means there's a big
conspiracy involved in this case. What's
your take? It's hard for me to believe
that this crazy
uh young man in love with somebody who's
half a man and half a woman, as as
bizarre as that is, uh could have pulled
this off uh on his own for the reasons
stated uh in his email uh in his text
messages to the lover and to others. I
haven't looked at all of the evidence. I
will examine what has come out in the
past uh two days and I'll examine it
wearing my judicial hat with perfect
neutrality as if I didn't know and
didn't like Charlie and as if I
respected uh the FBI. But I got to tell
you, the FBI has no respect commands no
respect in this country whether it's run
by Bob Ray or or Jim Comey or Bob
Mueller uh or Cash Patel. There's just
no respect for the FBI uh any longer. Uh
but the truth uh the truth will have to
come out. We do know
um that Charlie was under tremendous
pressure. see the interview he gave uh
my uh another former Fox colleague and
dear friend and friend of yours Megan
Kelly after he was browbeaten by Bill
Aman and a bunch of wealthy American
Zionist billionaires. They offered him a
hundred million dollars in financing if
he would change his views on Netanyahu
and the slaughter in Gaza and he turned
them down. See how he is shaking during
this interview with Megan, which is just
uh two days later. This was all a month
before uh he was murdered. Uh and for
those who rejoice in the beautiful words
of Mrs. Kirk, who forgave her husband's
murderer, and her words were beautiful,
you know what her father has retired
from doing as a living? He's an Israeli
arms merchant.
I'm almost speechless to learn that. Uh,
and I've only time now to
ask you about the rally with all of our
friends that you've got coming up.
Oh, that's so good of you.
Where is of support?
uh our uh wonderful friend uh Gerald
Senti who fights every day for peace uh
runs a rally the last Saturday of every
uh September in a town called Kingston,
New York, which is arguably the
birthplace of democracy
uh in America. The rally draws about
four or 500 people. Zero media. The
media refuses to cover it because it's
always an anti-war rally. The speakers
will be, in addition to Gerald, the
great former congressman Dennis
Cusinich, the great former CIA uh agent
who now thinks the CIA should be
disbanded, uh Ray McGovern, uh the great
former Marine and campaigner for peace,
uh Scott Ritter, the great songwriter
and singer, Roger Waters, Gerald
Sentenci, uh himself, Joe Lauria who
runs Consortium News and your humble
correspondent and we will bring the
House down with arguments on freedom of
speech, war and peace, the proper role
of the government in our lives. But as I
said to you, George, there will be zero
media there. They couldn't care less
what we say. It doesn't deter us. It
energizes us. This is in Kingston, New
York. If you live anywhere in the New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut
metropolitan area, this Saturday, uh, no
no admission fee this Saturday,
September 27th at 2:00 in the afternoon
local time.
There's nowhere in the world I'd rather
be than there. Uh, alas, I cannot be. I
wouldn't get past the border control.
But if I could teley transport myself uh
like uh like Baron Trump in the 1890s
being teley transported onto Time Square
by a rocket man called Elon. I would be
in Kingston, New York. What
if you were in Kingston, New York? If
you were in Kingston, New York, the size
of the crowd would grow in multiples.
