's called a job. Is that okay? Is it okay that he got a job? Can I get a job? I got cancelled. Am I a bad person if I got cancelled and then I went and got a job? I got a job to make money. That's okay, isn't it? Anyway, this is what else he says about him. And he reinvented himself as the second coming of Alex Jones. Now, you recognize that as an attack by association. If you don't have somethin…

All right. They say that Tucker raised discredited claims that Ashkenazi Jews are immune to COVID. Did that happen? Did that really happen? Now, if the discredited claims are things that are in the news, aren't you allowed to ask about that? And if the answer is, "Oh no, that was all BS. It's disavowed." Are you the villain because you asked about something and the answer was that it was disavowed and there was nothing to it, which I believe there's not much to it. It certainly there's a possibility that some demographic groups have worse or better pandemic performance I think that part's demonstrated right but whether or not that has anything to do with any conspiracy or anything that's there's no evidence of that so can a podcaster ask somebody about a view that has been debunked why not why can't you ask about something that's already been debunked. If your audience doesn't know it's already debunked, isn't that serving the audience? Hey, what about this? Oh, it's debunked. Okay, now my audience knows it's debunked. How is that a problem? Again, free speech.
And as far as I know, there's nothing to that claim. And he says that Benjamin Netanyahu openly tells Israelis, and now he says that Tucker claims this, that Netanyahu tells Israelis, quote, "I control the United States. I control Donald Trump." I think there's some video in which Netanyahu is making some claims about how he can handle the United States persuasion wise. Is that a problem? Why would that be a problem? And who would be surprised if Netanyahu said that, you know, if he told people in Israel, because that's the important part. He was talking to people in Israel. Who would be surprised if the leader of Israel said that he had some sway with the country that matters the most and they seem to be buddies and they seem to have worked productively together. Where are our problems here?
To me this all falls under free speech. Tucker and Daryl Cooper and everybody else can defend their own points of view as can Fuentes. I'm not defending anybody's point of view. I'm just saying that years ago when I saw this situation developing, I started saying in public and I'll say it again. I defend my right to associate with, talk to and platform anybody I want. Free speech. Somebody won't like it. Let me know. Free speech.
Anyway, I don't think the MAGA thing is real. I think it's something the left wants to be real, but as long as the right stays in free speech, we don't like what you said about that, Tucker, but we like this. What's wrong with that? So if you're Jewish and you thought that the collective energy of all this stuff is anti-semitic. I get that. I get that when I listen to Fuentes it feels anti-Semitic to me. I don't even know if he'd deny it actually. I'm not even sure what he'd say but it feels anti-Semitic to me. But I also am fascinated by how he got to that point and I find it not persuasive at all because it feels like the thing that gets him into anti-semitic territory is some assumptions about how strangers are thinking that I don't see, you know, that's always dangerous territory. I assume they don't say it, but I think they're thinking this way and that all of them are. That's where you get in trouble. I don't buy any of that. To me, it looks like people who are good at school get a lot of power. That's about it. And of course, they might want different things than you want, but that's the whole world. That's the whole world.
Anyway, so they can defend their own views, but it does sound anti-Semitic to me. Tucker sounds like he's playing a different game. I think he wants America first. He thinks Israel's maybe too much of that equation. Was a fairly mainstream view on the right.
Well, Trump is saying now that there will be no Venezuela land attack. I don't know what that includes but Marco Rubio said according to he was mocking some newspaper he said your sources in quotes claiming to have knowledge of the situation tricked you into writing a fake story about the possibility that we would do a land invasion in Venezuela. So Trump says it's not real. No land invasion. Marco

Rubio mocked it and Tulsi Gabbard said recently that the former American strategy of regime change is over and I guess there would be no point in going into Venezuela unless it was regime change. And so the question we have now is it true that Trump has ruled out any land-based military action in Venezuela? Is that true? Or is he playing an Iran game where he's telling them it's not going to happ…
