Protocol 34: Saudi Arabia Has An Army That Won't Fight And Vance Is Out Of Tucker Lifelines

We unpack Saudi Arabia’s struggle against the Houthis, their expanding grip on Red Sea shipping, their Iranian backing and the sprawling black-market networks that keep terrorist money flowing beyond the reach of sanctions (01:58). We hammer Jared Kushner for publicly portraying the Doha strike as leverage used to pressure Israel, questioning both his characterization of the attack and the timing of his comments (08:40). We torch Tucker Carlson for backing Abdul El-Sayed and ask how many more opportunities JD Vance and the Republican movement need before finally jumping off the Tucker train (13:51). We examine the online right beginning to fracture as conspiracy influencers turn on one another and some former extremists reconsider narratives about Jews and Israel (18:46). We blast Mamdani and AOC for laughing during the reading of names at the 9/11 memorial and debate what that moment revealed about political power, memory and basic respect (24:49). We dismantle NAZA, its anonymous sources, AI-generated faces and voices and its claim that Israel used artificial intelligence to facilitate genocide, explaining what collateral-damage estimates actually mean under the laws of war and why the film’s own premise undercuts its argument (27:39). We condemn Venice for rewarding the film and trace the festival’s uncomfortable historical relationship with fascist propaganda (37:36). Finally, we celebrate Pink and Robert Kraft for using their leverage - with celebrity and with stadium owners, respectively - to help force Macklemore off Ed Sheeran’s tour and argue that fighting antisemitism requires going on offense rather than endlessly playing defense (55:05).
