TPUSA is not really a movement, but they're able to put on these Super Bowl style extravaganzas because they have so much money. Uh, without Charlie Kirk as their charismatic frontman, they don't really have any convincing figure who's directly affiliated with their organization.
What there are are a series of avaricious grifters who are carrying out uh very profitable venture where they're raking in tons of money off of the tomb of Charlie Kirk and then channeling it through a series of LLC's to con either conceal the donors or to conceal how much they're paying themselves. Also through a series of ghost or shell nonprofits that have no employees in order to pay themselves eyepopping salaries. I mean, that's something that took place when Charlie Kirk was there, but now they don't. They're they're like a a very profitable ghost ship. They've installed Charlie Kirk's wife, Erica Kirk, as the CEO, so that uh they can just keep coasting off his name.
But at all of their major events, they need to fill the seats by bringing highly influential celebrity MAGA personalities. So whether it's JD Vance or they recently had Eric and Laura Trump, um who who else have they had Glenn Beck and that's what they need to do in order to fill the seats which will justify their own salaries because it looks like they're doing something important. And it and it it does need to be said that these events register a lot of people for the Republican party, but no none of these speakers compare to Tucker Carlson.
When Tucker Carlson's on stage, they're guaranteed to fill up the event to generate lots of media. And that's why no matter how controversial Tucker Carlson gets, TPUSA has to keep him on board. And for Tucker Carlson, no matter how controversial he wants to be, uh, how many attacks he's going to withstand, he can pretty much say whatever he wants and still maintain credibility as a major conservative influencer who is propelling the Republican party forward as long as he has this connection to TPUSA. So Tucker Carlson is going to speak at TPUSA's major event in December and I think that will be seinal because they're they're you know there will be a lot of attacks incoming. There's been a lot of pressure to get them to pull it to pull his card. Uh, but will he continue to speak at their events in 2026? That's a question. And I know there's pressure from uh some of the local chapters in TPUSA to cancel Tucker Carlson from some of the more Zionist chapter presidents who are more under the control of the pro-Israel faction.
How do they see JD Vance? Max, how? What? Because late we had JD Vance talking at TPUSA addressing. He was asked by one of the one of the young people in the crowd. Why he why are we supporting Israel if they're not so kind to us and they want to control the US foreign policy? What is the meaning of supporting Israel? He was asked and he tried to answer politically and but in the aftermath we've seen that the Zionists are attacking JD Vance. Who's JD Vance to Israel and how do they feel really about him?
Well, the the context here is that at these TPUSA events, young members of the the Gropers, the movement that follows Nick Fuentes, who are anti-Israel from an America first point of view and fairly anti-Jewish as well, sect religiously sectarian. They have been challenging, seating the audience with their members and challenging these high-profile MAGA personalities, including Eric Trump. One of them asked Eric Trump, you know, your dad is basically taking $230 million in bribery from Israel. How can you call yourself America first?
The response from Eric Trump or Glenn Beck or JD Vance is pathetic. They're not they're obviously not passionate about the pro-Israel cause. They do feel embarrassed. They're not accustomed to these kinds of questions because they never get them on Fox News. And JD Vance frightened the Zionist elite that has been controlling the Republican party on these issues with his responses to a young groper who asked him about ethnic cleansing in Gaza and said, "Jews are not our allies." Uh, he said he didn't even challenge the idea of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. JD Vance is not actually personally very passionate about Israel. Uh, you could tell actually when he went to Israel as the babysitter to to to try to keep uh the momentum up to enforce this weak ceasefire that Trump inaugurated. JD Vance did not kiss the wall. He didn't go to the Western Wall this time. He wound up in a conflict with the Israeli Knesset which passed a a law calling for the annexation or a resolution calling for the annexation of the West Bank and JD Vance called it stupid.
But at the same time, look at who's pulling JD Vance's strings. It's the PayPal mafia, Peter Teal, uh, these Zionist tech overlords who have helped fuel his career. And you know, he has these fixers in the Republican party who are incredibly pro-Israel like Arthur Schwarz. So which which way will JD Vance go? There's no way you can chart a middle path. JD Vance has tried to market himself as sort of a restrainer, someone who's a realist on foreign policy. But you can't chart a middle path in today's GOP with the pro still with the prepundonderance of power of these Zionist donors like Aden and Bern Bernard Marcus and Ike Pearl Mutter on the issue of Iran or the issue of Israel Palestine. There's no middle ground that you can chart. You either are totally with them or you're Tucker Carlson and you're totally against them. And Tucker Carlson, by the way, is a friend of JD Vancees. That's public knowledge. So if JD Vance tries to uh pursue any path for a two-state solution or something seemingly moderate, the Zionists will see him as an enemy and they will attempt to prevent him from winning the 2028 nomination. And that's Marco Rubio's angle. Marco Rubio is completely with them. He himself is a creature of the pro-Israel lobby whose career has been funded and fueled by Paul Singer. Paul Singer is basically his pimp, the uh vulture capitalist from Elliot Capital Management who is ferociously pro- Israel. And so Marco Rubio will take that donor class with him against JD Vance unless JD Vance just bows down and obeys.
Yeah. >> How do you see the role of Tulsi Gabbard? We know that she was trying to assess the Epstein file or maybe the Charlie Kirk situation with the case of Charlie Kirk, but she was ignored and is there any sort of differences as we see from outside? It seems that there is, you know, there is some sort of fractures, some sort of differences within the Trump administration. How do you see the difference between Cash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard?
>> Well, Tulsi Gabbard doesn't have any influence. I mean, she's kept out of meetings. She was kept out of the key briefings on Iran's nuclear program during the runup to the 12-day war, which Trump now acknowledges he personally authorized after Rubio, who chairs the NSC, directs the NSC, and his secretary of state said, "No, Israel acted unilaterally." Trump has now said, "No, we we authorized Israel to do that." Uh, by the way, come negotiate with us. And Tulsi Gabbard was kept out of all of the important meetings. She is the director of national intelligence. It looks like to me she's been used. She was used to campaign for Trump as a former Democrat to say, "I saw the evil of the Democratic party and Donald Trump is right." She's a charismatic person who has a commanding presence and an impressive background. And now that she's in the administration, there's very little she can do to counteract the gears of the neocon war machine, which is now which now has the largest and most advanced US aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald Ford in the Caribbean, ready to attack Venezuela.
Tulsi Gabbard played an important role in helping to trigger this military show of force through an intelligence deception, which I consider to be the WMD deception of the Trump war on Venezuela. She declared that Nicholas Maduro, the president of Venezuela, was in fact directing this mostly defeated Venezuelan gang train and was using it to invade the United States through the migrant invasion. This was Trump's narrative during the campaign and it's the underpinning of the Trump administration's designation of Nicholas Maduro and the Venezuelan government as narot terrorists which justifies this war. Tulsi Gabbard contradicted a declassified US intelligence briefing which which found that Maduro had no connection to train awa was not involved with it. In fact, his security forces had been battling it. And she fired the two US intelligence officers or researchers who authored that report in order to pave way for this phony designation of Venezuela as narot terrorists, which is justifying the killing of people on fishing boats in the Caribbean and may soon serve as justification for strikes inside Venezuela. So this is someone who personally opposed the US attack on Venezuela, criticized US sanctions on Venezuela, made her name, condemning US threats against Iran, uh, the US, Saudi, British war on Yemen. She has now walked back everything she ever said in order to hold this position under Trump in which she is kept out of key meetings. And that to me seems very unprincipled.
>> With the case of Venezuela. The main objective, Max, in Venezuela, do you think is that the oil and the resources of Venezuela? Because if that's the case, the United States can get them, can make contract. I don't know. Venezuela would be willing to sell their oil to the United States, but it seems that Donald Trump wants something beyond that. What is that? What is the main objective in Venezuela which we know that Tulsi Gabbard as you mentioned came out and said the regime change is not going to benefit the United States. The history says that to us but as you mentioned she's totally out of the circle decision makers in Washington.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who is personally sanctioned by Trump for criticizing his murder of Colombian citizens through the US military in the Caribbean Sea, recently declared that Trump is seeking to distract from the Epstein files and that a network of pedophiles is using the US military to distract from their own crimes. Hey, maybe it's that there is an ideological component. Marco Rubio and the Gusano industrial complex in southern Florida are obsessed with regime change in Venezuela. They want control. They want to go back to they want to use America and the American military and American service members to help them take control of the countries that ejected them because they were a parasitic class element. There's that. Donald Trump wants to secure Florida as a base for Republican party national electoral control. Uh, I I mean Florida's already seemingly a solid solidly red state. So I'm not sure what kind of factor it will be in 2028 why Trump needs to do that. Um, but it really does come down to I think for Trump something transactional. It's always about greed. This is just about pure greed. He thinks that he can capture Venezuela's resources. Uh, Maria Karina Machado is the de facto leader of the Venezuelan opposition and is pretty much the embodiment of a corporate at a recent business conference in South Florida which is actually run by the Adam Smith Freedom Center at Florida International University where Juan Guyaido is professor uh a guy with no academic experience. I don't know if he's teaching a class in coup plotting or what, but that'll give you a sense of the kind of place that hosted her. She promised to open up Venezuela's shores to developers, to give out contracts to US businessmen, and to privatize the oil sector, and to fork over Venezuela's minerals in a really bizarre speech where she seemed like the kind of multinational corporate concierge to Venezuela's wealth.
And the IMF has been having meetings along with international banks on Venezuela on on plundering Venezuela. But if Trump carries out these strikes and starts uh grinding down the Venezuelan military over the course of weeks and months, Venezuela will be destabilized. There'll be a migration crisis. There will likely be some there could be some kind of civil war. And it's not exactly the environment where a riskmanagement expert will tell you you want to invest. So, you know, if you're if you're thinking of plundering Venezuela and you're watching this right now, uh, you know, pay me as a riskmanagement expert to tell you that it's not going to work out very well. Your contracts are not going to be it's not, you know, not going to be a very good investment. And and there are these these uh shadowy figures, sleazy figures close to Trump who've worked in and out of the administration who have formed these different consulting firms to try to rake in contracts in the day after after Maduro. Um, one of them is called uh Javelin Advisors. Another one that's no longer in uh existence formed by the head of Trump's security team was Global Governments. I mean, they were going around Washington inviting wealthy businessmen from construction firms and oil drilling firms to pay them like $16,000 a month, $6,000 a month, however much they could pony up in order for them to guarantee that they would get contracts on the day after. And it hasn't happened. I mean, this has been going on for years. And and and they're they're just getting conned. So I wouldn't I mean did the US get the o oil prices down by stealing the oil from Iraq in an operation that was originally called Operation Iraqi Liberation O I L and it had to be changed by the Bush administration because it was too on the nose. Did they manage to get the oil out of uh out of Syria? I mean, they destroyed the Syrian economy but most of the oil went out on the black market. And Donald Trump has publicly complained about that, I don't think they're going to get the oil out of Venezuela either.
But but and and just when while we're talking about it and while it comes to mind, another motivation here for Trump, I think for people in the NSC, and this is something that's shared by the Democratic foreign policy establishment, is that Lucy and other Russian statebacked oil firms have deep investments in the Oronoo oil belt in Venezuela. And so the US would like to does see this as a means of weakening Russia and weakening Russia's economy uh as well as weakening Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere as Venezuela has applied to be a member of BRICS would love to be a member of BRICS. Uh, they were actually blocked by Lula Dilva who pathetically and foolishly invited Argentina at the end of the Fernandez administration. the Fernand Fernandez Kierner administration and then the next thing you know Javier Malay is elected and they bail out of bricks. That was another move which Lula did to undercut Venezuela. Um, so this there are so many reasons why they might want to do this but I can't see them actually accomplishing anything other than destabilization, mass migration and civil war.
Yeah, actually what Lula did was unbelievable. And yeah, he's he's right now concerned. Many people are concerned about the situation in Venezuela, Max, because they know whatever happened in Venezuela would influence Brazil directly and not just Brazil, all the Latin American countries. >> Colombia particularly. >> Yeah. I mean, Colombia will be destabilized and you have uh FARC leftist gerillas who are aligned with Maduro on the border who have pledged to defend Venezuela. So, this could be destabilizing for the entire subcontinent. And yes, this will pour over into Brazilian territory. the US there there there's no concern there especially now that Brazil and Colombia have left oriented presidents um I think the Trump administration would be happy to destabilize their countries.
>> Max I remember where when Donald Trump came to the scene to be a politician to be a presidential candidate the watershed moment if I remember correctly. He was talking about the war in Iraq and he was against the war in Iraq and all the time he comes out he says that he's against establishment in the United States. Looking at what has happened with the Nobel Peace Prize and the rhetoric of the Trump administration, you know, both at the same direction, regime change in Venezuela. Can we can we draw a line between Donald Trump and the the establishment in the United States or they're becoming the same or has be become the same?
I mean, it's do the Trump administration has established itself as the dominant force in the Republican party, which means Trump is the leader or at least the face of one of the two ruling political mafias in the US. At a time of uh almost unprecedented weakness within the Democratic party, Donald Trump has managed to suffer punishing losses in last Tuesday's elections. And that's because the American public is being hurt by the affordability crisis while Donald Trump is ho hosting Gatsby's themed events at his Mara Lago resort home. Uh, Donald Trump just made it impossible to file your taxes in the US online for free after getting a million dollar donation from a tax company that charges people to do their taxes online. I mean, it's just out of control bribery at every level. And his promise was to reduce prices. and he brought he brought over a segment of the American public that might have voted for a Democrat in including a figure like Bernie Sanders because they just care about what we call kitchen table issues. But then within the Republican base, the hardcore Trump MAGA base, the people who rose up on January 6th, they expected an all-out war on the deep state. And instead what they're getting is a revival of neoconservatism and Dick Cheney's greatest fantasies. I mean Donald Trump indicted John Bolton, the self-proclaimed proud Kumonger while Donald Trump was fulfilling John Bolton's wet dream of waging a war on Venezuela. The Israel issue is a problem the US media refuses to acknowledge. It takes on this all-encompassing power among the younger members of the MAGA grassroots and ex kind of encapsulating the sellout and betrayal of Donald Trump of the America first movement that he's under the control of a foreign country. So, it's over. The the the whole concept of make America great again and the red hats and Donald Trump's promises to end the wars and be a peace president, his claim that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. That's all been revealed to be a giant sham to anyone who's paying attention. But there's still a segment of the country that trusts and believes in everything Donald Trump is doing that there just may not be enough of them to even comprise a the kind of plurality you need to deliver victory for your successor JD Vance. Someone who doesn't have the same charisma as Trump doesn't have the same national name recognition or personal story. wasn't a TV star and the owner of uh, you know, football franchises known in New York for owning glamorous goldplated buildings like I I don't I don't think the future is bright for their move for their movement and it really but but it really does boil down to certain issues the US media doesn't want to discuss and I think we discussed them for the last 40 minutes or so uh pe everyone watching understands the potency of these issues in the United States right now, but there are very few US politicians speaking to it. I would say two of the politicians who are speaking to it are Thomas Massie and Marjgerie Taylor Green. They get it. They're coming out of the right-wing Republican grassroots. They were MAGA figures and now they're under attack by Donald Trump's political network and by Israel. Thomas Massie faces an opponent who's being funded with $20 million from Likudnik Israeli warlord Miriam Add. Marjgery Taylor Green is facing uh similar threats in her district in Georgia. So, this just goes to show how how sold out Donald Trump is because these would be figures these are figures who I think are expressing the original ethos and ideology of America first when Donald Trump first rose to the four.
>> Yeah. He was attacking Rand Paul because of his comments on Venezuela, >> right? You know, this is literally one of the few Republicans supporting Donald Trump during the Russia gate and he he doesn't care about.
>> Yeah. And I mean Ukraine as well, like Donald Trump promised peace in Ukraine. He promised to solve it in a day. Of course, he wasn't going to be able to do that, but he's demonstrated very little consistency there. No patience for negotiation. And since the meeting in Alaska with Putin, he's sided with the Lindsey Graham faction of the GOP and is rearming Ukraine even as Ukraine continues to lose territory. So there there's nothing left. There's literally nothing left of any of the promises Donald Trump made to be something different than the reptilian dua than the politicians that we have been cursed with through our reptilian duopoly. The other case is the case of Syria. We had Al Golani al- Shar coming to the to the United States talking and meeting with Donald Trump and what is the policy of the United States Max when it comes to Syria? Because Donald Trump was talking about withdrawing the troops from Syria. Right now he's sending troops to Syria.
>> Yeah. I I wrote this book, The Management of Savagery. It came out in 2019 and it predicted everything that's happening right now. The subtitle is How America's National Security State Fueled the Rise of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Donald Trump. And now the founder of Syria's al-Qaeda branch, former deputy leader of ISIS, has been has met with Donald Trump in the White House and was granted a friendly interview on Fox News. I mean, how much more confirmation of my thesis, which was viciously attacked, not just uh by neocons, but by leftists, by leftists like the kind of uh people you see out in the left like Owen Jones and Medi Hassan and that guy from Drop Site, what's his name? I I can't I always forget his name. But, you know, I was always under attack from them from what what I was saying about Syria. And now it's just all it's all coming home. It's literally coming home. The founder of al-Qaeda is in the Oval Office. And it's because he was always there to deliver to the United States what it sought in Syria, which was the dissolution of Syria as the last independent strong Arab state with an independent army and no IMF debt. Al-Shar is also meeting has also met with the IMF and played basketball with US military leaders and the US military will be given a presence in Damascus. But it's not just the US military that has a presence in Damascus. The Mossad has been there. Israeli intelligence just walked right into Damascus and collected the former Mossad spy Ellie Cohen's belongings. the is Mossad spy who penetrated Syrian leadership during the '67 war, cost countless Syrian lives uh before he was executed. They just walked right in with no resistance. This is the this is the reality of Syria. Now, I've heard from Syrian sources that Israeli intelligence is like permanently based at the Sheran in Damascus. Donald Trump, by the way, had promised to pull the US military out of northeast Syria, but uh Syria is now going to become a base for the US. And why is it there? Because of Iran. This this is a shared cause between al-shar's takiri Sunni forces and the United States and Israel to neutralize Iran as a threat to as a threat to Israel as and as a regional power. And uh this was all something that I could easily forecast in my book because I charted the whole history of the United States supporting al-Qaeda going back to the 1979 intervention in Afghanistan all the way through the proxy wars in Bosnia, Libya, uh and here we are. It's how did this happen? Does does anyone wonder how this happens? Is there any question that US intelligence has been supporting these organizations all along to deliver this very result and that this will be a disaster for the region? No, but I had to withstand attack after attack for spelling it out too soon. I think that's the worst thing you can do in the United States in the most propagandized country on the world is to actually be right too soon. You can talk about the CIA and what it was doing 40 years ago, 50 years ago in the New York Times, but you can't talk about what it's doing today and what the result will be.
Before wrapping up, Max, since we talk about Syria, do you believe that there is some sort of ideas that there Israel going to attack Hezbollah and the United States may attack Iran? Just is there any evidence, do you think, to support that or are we heading toward more conflicts in the Middle East?
Well, I think we have to assume that Israel's attacking Hezbollah right now. It's bombarding southern it's been bombarding southern Lebanon every day for the past two weeks. Uh, will they stage an infantry invasion? Will they bring tanks into southern Lebanon even on a in a limited fashion? I doubt it because the Israeli military, these these units are in disarray after Gaza and Israeli soldiers are being paid enormous amounts of money just to stay in the field. As res Israeli reserveists are getting more money than the average Israeli worker gets from very hard work every month and they're moving from unit to unit. the units no longer maintain the same contiguity. The Israeli public is exhausted from two years of genocide. And so what we're what I think we're going to see is a kind of mowing the lawn operation against southern Lebanon with no regard for the ceasefire with Hezbollah. Uh, and what Israeli media has said is the reason Israel hasn't sought to target Naim Kasum, who is the secretary general of Hezbollah, who replaced Nasallah, is because they don't want uh the conflict to rise to a level where Hezbollah responds because they assess that Hezbollah still maintains 20,000 rockets and missiles, which can do significant damage in the north to Israel and would put Benjamin Netanyahu's political future in peril at a time when the Israeli public wants to go back to some form of normal. So, we're looking at mowing the lawn, the war between wars concept that uh Benny Gance conceived when he was Israeli army chief of staff and that means war for the population of southern Lebanon but not for Israel. Will this lead to a war with Iran? What will be the trigger point? I think Iran has established enough deterrence to make Israel think twice about that. But at the same time, Benjamin Netanyahu has shown that he considers the his legacy incomplete until he achieves regime change in Iran. And Donald Trump has signaled to Netanyahu that Netanyahu can prompt or provoke the US to attack Iran by simply attacking itself at any point. So, it's a dangerous scenario and we should expect a resumption of conflict at some point before the I mean, this isn't a prediction, but I would think the most likely point in which war with Iran would resume would be before the midterms. After last Tuesday's result, Donald Trump doesn't expect to do very well. and Netanyahu would see Trump as weakened and less likely to embark on a politically perilous war with Iran if Donald Trump took a took a whooping in the midterms.
>> Just before wrapping up, >> that was before wrapping up. The last one was before wrapping up >> because because I know >> I feel wrapped up becoming a hostage video, Nema. But Max, the mayoral election in New York was raising lot of question. What is Zoran Mandani and who? Because on one side you see the people are going against, you know, the Zionists are investing more than a hundred million dollars against him. On the other hand, you see the son of George Soros, you know, somehow supporting him. Who's Zoran Mani and what does it mean for the case of if we assume for the case of Israel and Gaza if that could some sort of.
>> This is a big question. I I've tried to answer it on our live streams at the Grey Zone and we we talked about it I think last week. We'll see who Zoron Mandani is. If he he says he intends to have Benjamin Netanyahu arrested because New York will observe and respect international law. Netanyahu has an ICC warrant out for his arrest. Remember Netanyahu called in the uh air strikes to kill Hassan Nasra from his hotel room in New York or approved them and was approving air strikes on Lebanon during a New York trip. So this is significant. We'll see if he fulfills it. New York has invested heavily in Israel bonds, which means that, you know, New York municipal employees have their own pensions invested in Israeli bonds, which have been downgraded twice since the genocide began. They're not very they're substandard bonds. He should get rid of them. Will he do that? He's already kept on the ultraionist New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tish, who has been involved in escalating NYPD's relationship with the Israeli state through their liaison office in Kafar Saba, Israel. Will he get rid of that liaison office? I don't care about the rhetoric. I don't care about the pictures with Alex Soros. I knew he had a relationship with Soros. Um, his his one of his key adviserss, Patrick Gasbard, was the former head of Soros's foundation. That's all well known. But he's got to put his money where his mouth is. And that means taking action and he will be tested because this this whack job New York assembly member uh and her name is like aa ver Verleova I forget her name. She's gone out to like public events wearing an Israeli flag as a skirt. She is just an absolutely Kudnik fanatic. had she announced that she will invite Netanyahu to New York on Mam Dani's first day. So, they're going to test him and let's see.
>> Yeah. Thank you so much, Matt Max, for being I'm just you're a hostage. But great pleasure, Max, as always, talking to you and learning from you. And our audience really enjoy your information and the way that you try to be not the left and the right and you right in the middle and cut through everything. Great.
>> Thank you, Emma. You you treat your hostages very well.
