Summary
In this episode: The most expensive primary race in U.S. history—the battle to unseat Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie—revealing how over $32 million in ads, much of it from pro-Israel groups like AIPAC, is flooding the race to punish Massie for his independence on issues like the Epstein files, Iran war authorization, and his refusal to pledge blind loyalty to Israel. Plus, the true $72 billion cost of the Iran war over just 60 days—nearly $50 billion more than the Pentagon admits—due to deliberately flawed military accounting. All that and more!
My livestreams are on Mon and Fri at 3pm ET/Noon PT and Wednesday at 8pm ET/5pm PT. I am one of the most censored comedians in America. Thanks for the support!
