Israel Hires Hollywood Producers To Make PROPAGANDA For Americans

Congress is attempting to pass provisions within the National Defense Authorization Act (Section 224) and an intelligence authorization bill (Section 622) that would merge elements of the Israeli Defense Forces with the US military and dramatically increase Israeli access to sensitive American intelligence. Section 622, proposed by Senator Tom Cotton, would prohibit suspension of intelligence sharing except for specific national security concerns determined by the President, with a report to Congress required within 15 days, effectively shifting accountability away from public scrutiny.

Anna Casparian states, 'Congress is attempting to merge the Israeli Defense Forces with our own military in section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act, it looks like Congress is also pushing to fuse our intelligence agencies together as part of an intelligence authorization bill.' Trita Parsy adds that Paul Pillar's article details Section 622, which 'would prohibit any suspension, reduction or limitation of such intelligence sharing except on the basis of a specific and identifiable national security concern determined by the president.'

A significant and rapidly growing segment of the American right, including former military officials, is expressing strong agitation and opposition to the substantial US aid provided to Israel. This sentiment stems from the perception that the US is 'a cow pasture for Israel,' fighting its wars and incurring massive debt, rather than acting in its own national interest. This shift is not primarily driven by empathy for Palestinians but by a feeling of betrayal and the conclusion that past wars served other countries' interests.

Anna Casparian introduces a clip of former Navy Seal Sean Ryan, who states, 'We're tired of paying for your education. We're tired of paying for your universal healthcare. We're tired of paying for your iron dome. We're tired of paying for your missile defense. We get we're a we are a cow pasture for Israel. We're tired of fighting your wars. We're tired of dying for your causes.' Trita Parsy confirms, 'the sentiment by no means is at this point unusual. This is not a fringe opinion at this point. This is an opinion that is widely shared.'

The Trump administration is using an alleged Iranian attack on a US Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz as justification for reigniting kinetic warfare with Iran. However, military experts and Iran itself dispute the claims, citing physical impossibilities of the alleged drone strike and the lack of Iranian credit for the attack. The hosts suggest a desire for conflict from both sides, regardless of the pretext.

President Trump is shown stating, 'A shot at our helicopter. Very expensive helicopter by the way. But much more importantly, the two men. Fortunately, they're okay. We hit them hard yesterday and we're going to hit him again hard today.' Military experts Colonel Daniel Davis and Larry Johnson are quoted, 'that drone... it's the size of the cockpit. I mean the whole cockpit. There's no way it could get in between them.' Trita Parsy notes, 'Most conversations I've had, however, about this... has just completely moved beyond whether this story is true or not because a new a new reality is now establishing. The United States is attacking Iran and the Iranians are now firing ballistic missiles again.'

Israel is openly pushing for continued war with Iran, showing little regard for global economic consequences or US taxpayer money, and has even discussed the 'nuclear option.' This aggressive stance is attributed to Israel's perceived dwindling time to achieve its objectives, a 'blank check' approach from the US presidency, and a strategy to fast-track decisions by bypassing US bureaucracy.

Trita Parsy states, 'the Israelis from the outset never wanted a ceasefire and they wanted to continue the war and they wanted the United States to just destroy as much of Iran as possible.' He adds, 'both in the Israeli media and um in the US media we have articles that are openly talking about the fact that uh the nuclear option has been considered has been part of the discussions.'

Israel is spending millions to counter its negative public image by hiring Hollywood producers (Daniel Rosenberg, Tim Piper of Pyro Inc.) for digital content strategy and leveraging PR firms like Havas Media. This includes developing bot-based social media programs to flood platforms with pro-Israel messaging. Furthermore, Zionist interests, notably the Ellison family (Larry and David Ellison), are consolidating control over major US media platforms like CBS, potentially CNN, and TikTok, with stated goals of censoring 'anti-Zionist' content.

Anna Casparian reports, 'the Israeli government has uh hired Hollywood producers Daniel Rosenberg and Tim Piper in an effort to sanitize Israel's floundering public image.' She adds, 'Havas Media uh has been contracted by Israel to do crap like this before... Israel also used Havas to hire SKDK... to develop a bot-based program on various social media channels.' She later states, 'Avowed Zionist fanatic Barry Weiss, who currently heads uh CBS... is allegedly being considered to make the editorial decisions over at CNN.' And, 'Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, is the single largest donor to the Israeli Defense Forces.'

Internal White House discussions during the Trump administration revealed a concerted effort to manage the fallout from the Epstein files, prioritizing the protection of Trump's image. Senior advisors, including JD Vance, discussed strategies ranging from transparent release (rejected) to petitioning courts for unsealing documents they knew would be denied, thereby shifting blame to judges. The administration also considered offering Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon or reduced sentence for favorable testimony. Dan Bonino is portrayed as opposing the cover-up, advocating for full transparency, but was overruled.

The New York Times report is cited: 'Vice President JD Vance had suggested that... maybe we do engage in transparency... Tucker Carlson interview Galain Maxwell so that she can state that Trump has never been part of any wrongdoing.' The report details 'option number one apparently was to petition federal district courts... to unseal the grand jury testimonies... knowing that it was very unlikely that judges will agree to releasing these documents.' White House counsel Warrington is mentioned as suggesting 'we could either um get her a pardon or have her sentence reduced.' Dan Bonino is quoted telling Pam Bondi, 'You effed this thing up from the start.'

US inflation is accelerating, with the Labor Department reporting a 4.2% rise in May, marking a three-year high for the Consumer Price Index. This increase is primarily driven by the ongoing war in Iran, which has limited oil and natural gas supplies, leading to significantly higher energy prices. These rising energy costs are trickling down to make everything else, including travel and food (due to fertilizer costs), more expensive, while American paychecks fail to keep pace.

Anna Casparian reports, 'today the labor department stated that inflation rose 4.2% higher in May compared to a year ago and that's an increase from April's yearover-year inflation reading of 3.8%.' She adds, 'the energy index accounted for over 60% of the increase in the consumer price index from the previous month.' Trump is shown stating, 'I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, you know, I can say it now. Something you didn't know. Do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil?'

Big tech and AI lobbyists are actively influencing US lawmakers by sponsoring all-expenses-paid retreats for congressional staffers, bypassing federal lobbying regulations through loopholes. These retreats, organized by groups like the ITI Institute (a tentacle of the ITIC), aim to push for national AI standards that would override state-level regulations, ensuring minimal oversight for powerful tech companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia.

Anna Casparian reports, 'AI lobbyists have been uh whining and dining congressional staffers and even treating them to some swanky retreats in an effort to squash any resistance to their policy agenda.' She specifies, 'a retreat to Austin. All expenses paid. The AI industry uh you know had multiple congressional staffers on this trip.' She notes, 'the ITIC managed to dodge federal regulations on lobbying... because the trip was technically organized through the ITI Institute, which does not technically employ lobbyists.'
