Trump’s team is officially losing their minds.
Right now, there is a concerted effort among these war-loving, neoconservative Trump sycophants to silence anyone calling out the failing war with Iran. I am not making this up. It is coming from the administration and the media, and it’s getting desperate.
Even Donald Trump’s FCC chair, Brendan Carr, decided to chime in. There’s a video of me debating Scott Jennings that went viral because I was trying to hold Scott to account on this war. This isn’t the first war Scott has had to defend for a Republican administration that’s putting us in debt and sending troops into the Middle East, and it won’t be the last.
The Trump administration is directly attacking me along with every neocon who wants us locked in another endless war. That tells me that I’m probably doing something right. I have a team of researchers, editors, legal council, and a producer who work hard to keep me safe and get this content out there. If you find value in it, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.

Scott snapped in my face. He acted like a petulant child because he couldn’t answer a simple question. But then Brendan Carr responds to the clip on Twitter saying “FCC rules don’t prohibit profanity on cable.” Then, when someone asks him what the rules are on smacking someone on air, he says, “Also not prohibited.”
Think about that. This is a grown man with immense power in the media ecosystem wink-wink, nudge-nudging the idea of me getting assaulted on air because he didn’t like the way a “liberal YouTuber” was owning Scott Jennings. I’m not going to act like a baby or say I’m scared, but it’s pathetic. These grown men are beefing on Twitter because they can’t handle being held accountable for a war they started.
Then you have Geraldo Rivera going on Chris Cuomo’s show calling me a “dick.” This is the same Geraldo who was nice to me off-camera right after the debate. He’s calling me aggressive because I’m asking about a war.
Scott Jennings spends every night on TV being a huge jerk to liberals, smirking and trolling. I’ve been on air with him so many times that I’ve actually learned a few things. I’ve learned political tactics from the most slimy operators because we have to use them to regain our democracy.
I’m not going to be “nicer” about this. These neocon boomers are mortgaging my generation’s future. They are amassing trillions in debt and getting our troops killed for another failing war. Then, the moment a 23-year-old pushes back and asks “What is the actual goal here?” they tell me to “know my place” or “wait for the grown-ups.”
I’m 23. I know I have limitations. But young people deserve a seat at the table when 95% of the media is made up of people like Geraldo Rivera or Scott Jennings.
I even challenged a “Chief Strategist” for the Middle East Forum on Twitter. He called me an “unexperienced smarmy toad” and “fat-faced.” I asked him: name one single political concession Trump has gotten out of Iran 60 days into this war.
His answer? He basically admitted Iran hasn’t conceded anything.
We are so cooked if these are the people representing us. I’m not taking the “high road” while they drag the country down. I’m responding with reciprocal energy. If you’re tired of the double standards and the endless wars, join us. We’re doubling down.
If you want to help me out for free, please consider sharing this with your friends, network, and family. Have a great rest of your Saturday.
