The Rollout: Lev Parnas Says Tonight's Address Launches the Plan to Steal 2026

Lev Parnas drove his car into the Fivestack on Thursday — literally, phonemounted on the dash — and spent an hour telling Dean Blundell and Zev Shalevwhy tonight matters more than Washington wants to admit. At 9 PM, Trumpaddresses the nation on what he calls foreign interference in Americanelections. Parnas, who flew to Washington last week to warn Democraticleadership in person, put it plainly: “Today is the rollout. Today is thebeginning of the next rollout for Project 2025 — to keep Donald Trump inoffice forever.” The five stories all fed the same machine.5️⃣ The 104The panel opened on the number rattling both parties: 104 House Democrats —nearly half the caucus — voted Wednesday to end $3.3 billion in Israel aid.Zev called it what it is: a big number, and a weapon. “Trump will use thatagainst Democrats,” he said, while Parnas begged the coalition to hold:“We can disagree hardcore on a lot of different policies — but we should allagree we don’t want to live in a dictatorship.”4️⃣ The Grift LedgerDean brought the receipts on the fraud Trump won’t mention tonight. Forbesreported the president has taken in $2.4 billion this year — six thousandtimes his salary. A CNN whistleblower story detailed stock buys that precededhis Truth Social endorsements, American Eagle to Nvidia. And Gabriel Perez —Trump’s personal teleprompter operator — landed on administrative leave aftermaking $100,000 on Polymarket, betting on speeches he read before the countrydid. Zev pitched the fix: a live counter outside the White House tracking whatTrump takes from the American people, running every second.3️⃣ Epstein’s Money MenLeon Black didn’t show. The Apollo co-founder’s videotaped deposition, set fortoday, slid to September 3 — no reason given by his lawyers. His Epstein NDAsstill land in the committee’s hands next week, and the panel that grilledGoldman’s Kathryn Ruemmler over her Epstein emails keeps working the money.Parnas, who testified before the same committee, saw the pattern: thepaper trail survives every delay.2️⃣ Blanche’s Worst DayDay two of Todd Blanche’s confirmation produced the week’s most damningtestimony. Elizabeth Oyer, the career pardon attorney, told senators Blanche’soffice pressured her to restore gun rights to a convicted domestic abuser —Mel Gibson, a friend of the president. “When I wouldn’t, Mr. Blanche fired mewithin hours,” she testified. “He then took extraordinary measures to silenceme. He sent U.S. Marshals to my home.” Her close drew blood: “The casual liesthat Mr. Blanche tells, even while sitting in this chair testifying to thiscommittee, are emblematic of a much larger problem.” Epstein survivorDanielle Bensky recounted Blanche’s DOJ leaving her name unredacted hundredsof times. Tillis set his price on camera: meet the Epstein victims, or the novote stands. Cornyn isn’t moving either. The committee sits 11–10.1️⃣ The RolloutThen the show returned to where it began — 9 PM. Parnas laid out the sequencehe’s been warning about for months: tonight’s curated “declassified” documentsseed the doubt; indictments follow — Obama, Comey, Clapper are the targets hehears — and the FBI’s signature-matching review of ballots seized from FultonCounty supplies the “proof.” Dean named the tell: sixty-plus courts found nofraud, and no one has been charged. Zev named the flaw: “He’s got a bit of aprocess issue here. He was the president in 2020.” And Parnas named themechanism: “When you pick and choose what you declassify, it becomespropaganda.” The target isn’t 2020. It’s November.THE PATTERNOne machine, five gears. A prime-time lie needs an attorney general who firesthe honest lawyers, a committee that runs out the clock on Epstein’s bankers,a press under subpoena, and an oppositionatoo divided to answer. Zev left thepanel with the counterweight: “He’s turned America into the very thing he saidhe was trying to fix. But that’s not who America is — millions are going toshow up in their droves.”Thank you Ellie Leonard, Lyudmila and Daniel, Richard Hogan, MD, PhD(2), DBA, Alex LeMay, Lori Modafferi, and many others for tuning into my live video with Dean Blundell!
