On today’s Uncovered, Anthony and I started out talking about Trump’s trip to the Middle East, some of the announcements he made while he was over there, and the backstory behind a lot of the corruption as those governments continue to funnel hundreds of millions into his pocket.
We also talked about his ‘Palace in the Sky’ plane from Qatar and some of the backstory behind that and how Democrats must continue to use this against Republicans in Congress who refused to call it out as blatant corruption and a violation of the Constitution.
I talked about the story behind the lifting of sanctions on Syria, the reasons why Trump did it, who he angered by doing it, and why it could turn out to be either a spectacular disaster or a great success, despite the fact that he is doing it for all the wrong reasons.
I also talked about Jake Tapper’s book about Joe Biden and how this is emblematic of the rot that has seeped into legacy media as they band together and conspire to promote each other’s books while ignoring stories and issues that really matter. While Trump systematically dismantles our government, institutions, and alliances and threatens our civil liberties while wallowing in a sewer of blatant corruption, Tapper, CNN, Axios and other legacy outlets are focused on Joe Biden and making money from book sales.
We talked about the how the lead up to the peace negotiations in Turkey between Russia and Ukraine played out from start to finish, what is likely to happen tomorrow, Russian media spin on it, and how Trump’s handling of the situation has been a disaster but Putin is still very much on the defensive now because of how masterfully Zelensky has played this.
I also talked about MAGA embrace of Putin and Russian propaganda, and how various influencers spread it online. We talked about he example of this week where Alex Jones and others got a doctored Russian video to go viral to tens of millions claiming that it showed the leaders of France, UK, and Germany snorting cocaine together on a plane.
We also talked about the racist and hypocritical policy of allowing white South Africans to be the only group of people on earth who qualify for asylum and expedited citizenship in the US.
I talked about a lot of other things in between, but we concluded the show with the story of RFK Jr, the chief health official in the US, bringing his entire extended family for a weekend swim in a toxic creek in DC contamined with e-coli and other substances.
Link to the show is here. You can also find yesterday’s Today in Politics bulletin here if you missed it.
With the Republicans conspiring to back up Trump's administration of evil,we need the media more than ever to do their job....not kissing Trump's ass..we need an informed public not the constant feeding of MAGA cultists by a garbage industry like FOX ,Newsmax and OAN.
Thank you Ron, as always for important information and intelligent analysis. Your commentary on Jake Tapper's reprehensible book on Biden was interesting . I had liked Tapper, especially after the Hollywood tapes came out and he trashed Gulliani and Trump. This book, anything offering solice to the regime at this time is beyond understanding. Pres Biden, even at half speed did more for the average American than most of the Presidents we've had in the last 50 years. Certainly the Biden years did far more for 'we the people' than the current gang of broligarchs will ever do. I think Tapper wants to kiss the ring. Maybe job security? He doesn't need cash.
