Tucker and Saagar Enjeti on the Dangerous New Developments in Pam Bondi’s Epstein Cover-Up

Tucker Carlson

Tucker starts out with a joke. “I had no idea the Jeffrey Epstein was innocent and a good guy, according to Pam Bondi.”

Why is Pam Bondi’s Justice Department covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and murder? Saagar Enjeti has a theory.

Saagar Enjeti is the host of "Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar" available on YouTube and podcast platforms. Saagar previously worked at The Daily Caller as a White House correspondent.

I think Bondi, Ratcliffe, Patel and Bongino have been deceived by the people in the agencies from the start. The dark agents, lawyers etc planned to do this to the Trump Admin from the beginning.

They all have been lulled into believing they are in charge now

>>23315923

Remember Bibi while meeting with Trump and Cabinet said to the group something like,Trump and I are bound togetherwhich gave me the creeps.

Was he saying that in relation to the Iran/Israel war or the Epstein coverup? I truly believe Trump should have never met with Bibi again. His presence is truly evil.

At the same meeting Bibi kept on looking at his group and the Israeli press behind him, while he was saying we are bound together, he seemed like he was checking his Mossad cameramen “did you catch that”?

No wonder Trump got pissed off when he got a question of the Epstein matter.

Americans fighting for Ukraine should lose citizenship – Carlson

“You can only really pledge your loyalty to one person or one country,” the conservative host has argued

Americans who fight for other countries, including Ukraine and Israel, should be stripped of their US citizenship, journalist Tucker Carlson has argued.

Speaking at a conservative conference in Tampa, Florida called Turning Point USA on Friday, Carlson was asked whether he believes US nationals can pledge allegiance to two countries at once.The former Fox News categorically denied the notion of double loyalty.

“I think anybody… who serves in a foreign military should lose his citizenship immediately. There are a lot of Americans who’ve served in the IDF, they should lose their citizenship. There’s a lot of Americans who’ve served in Ukraine and they should lose their citizenship.You can’t fight for another country and remain an American. Period.”

He added thatcommon sense dictates that “no man can serve two masters.” “You can only really pledge your loyalty to one person or one country,” he added.

Under US law, there are no automatic penalties for serving in a foreign military. The US has never signed the 1989 UN Mercenary Convention, which aims to ban the recruitment, use, financing, and training of mercenaries. However, since the late 19th century, theUS government has been prohibited from employing organizations that offer “quasi-military armed forces for hire,” meaning it cannot use the services of private military contractors such as Blackwater.

Carlson’s remarks come after CNN reported in January that more than 20 US citizens had been reported missing in action in Ukraine. In late 2024, Russian officials reported that around 6,500 out of 15,000 foreign mercenaries who had arrived in Ukraine had been killed.

In recent months, several US citizens have been convicted in absentia in Russia for what are described as mercenary activity and “terrorist acts” in Russia’s Kursk Region, where a now-defeated Ukrainian incursion was launched last year.

In May, Aleksandr Bastrykin, the head of Russia’s Investigative Committee, said that a total of 902 individuals had been charged with engaging in mercenary activity. Courts have delivered guilty verdicts against 97 mercenaries from 26 countries.

Moscow has repeatedly warned that it treats foreign mercenaries fighting for Ukraine as legitimate targets.

Trump sees Zelensky as ‘primary obstacle’ to Ukraine peace – FT

The US president still regards Russia’s Vladimir Putin as the “main negotiating partner,” the report claims

US President Donald Trump continues to regard Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky as the main hurdle to resolving the conflict, despite his recent criticism of Moscow, the Financial Times reported on Saturday, citing sources.

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Trump said he was “unhappy” with Putin, claiming the Russian leader did not want to end the conflict. “We get a lot of bullsh*t thrown at us by Putin,”Trump said. The US president added that while Putin was “very nice all the time,” it turned out to be “meaningless” for ending the fighting.

Later, he announced a “major statement” on Russia soon amid reported discussions in Washington over imposing a 500% tariff on countries that buy Russian energy and goods.

However, two unnamed senior officials involved in defense and security talks with Washington told the FT that there was little indication the White House had actually adopted a more pro-Kiev stance.

Ukraine’s backers, the report said,are “still assuming Trump was predisposed to seeing Putin as his main negotiating partner in any settlement and Zelensky as the primary obstacle to a workable peace deal.”

One official pointed to “a little bit of overexcitement based on a shift in tone,” while cautioning that“we’re not seeing that translate into major actions.”

The FT report echoes a New York Times articlein June claiming that the US president is “exasperated” with both Putin and Zelensky,but “reserves special animosity” for the Ukrainian leader, viewing him as a “bad guy” pushing the world towards a global conflict.

In May, Trump openly criticized Zelensky, suggesting that “everything out of his mouth causes problems.” The fiercest public clash between the two came in February at the White House, when Trump accused Zelensky of ingratitude and “gambling with World War III.”

Commenting on Trump’s remarks targeting Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said thatRussia is “calm about this,” adding that “we are committed to continuing our dialogue with Washington and our policy of repairing the significantly damaged bilateral relations.”

Russia maintains it is open to a diplomatic settlement of the Ukraine conflict, but in a way that would address its “root causes” and its security concerns. Moscow insists on Ukraine’s neutrality, recognition of the “territorial reality on the ground,” as well as demilitarization and denazification.

(I always thought Trump is excellent at cosplay.)

Iran sets terms for resuming nuclear talks

A return to diplomacy requires US guarantees after strikes on the country’s nuclear sites, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said

Iran has signaled that it is open to resuming dialogue with the US but only under strict conditions, following Israeli and American strikes on its nuclear facilities, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said.

The sixth round of indirect talks, scheduled for June 15 in Oman, was canceled two days earlier after Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and senior military figures – an escalation Tehran called a declaration of war.

The dialogue, revived earlier this year by US President Donald Trump, collapsed in the wake of the attacks. Washington joined in on June 22, deploying heavy bombers against key nuclear facilities. Trump later said the sites were “completely obliterated,” a claim which was disputed in a number of media reports.

In a written interview with Le Monde published on Thursday, Araghchi condemned the attacks as a violation of international law and said it was the US that broke off negotiations and turned to military action. He added thatTehran remains committed to diplomacy but stressed that any renewed engagement must be based on accountability, mutual respect, and “guarantees against any attack.”

Araghchi stated that despite the tensions, diplomatic exchanges are still underway via mediators.

The US State Department said this week that the Trump administration is committed to peace with Iran. “Our commitment has been steadfast through all of these conflicts and now is a time for Iran to take advantage of that,”spokesperson Tammy Bruce told reporters.

Asked about Trump’s statements, Iranian foreign minister replied: “To claim that a program has been annihilated… is a miscalculation,” adding that Tehran is “assessing the damage” and may seek compensation.

Washington has long demanded that Tehran halt all uranium enrichment – a position Iran considers a deal-breaker. Araghchi reaffirmed that the country’s nuclear program remains peaceful, lawful, and under constant IAEA supervision.

Iran currently enriches uranium to 60% purity, well above the 3.67% cap set under the now-defunct 2015 nuclear deal, which was rendered null and void after Trump unilaterally withdrew the US from it during his first term.

“The level of enrichment is determined by Iran’s needs,” Araghchi said, adding that the current level is meant “to demonstrate that threat and pressure are not solutions.”

He also ruled out any discussion of Iran’s ballistic missile program, calling it “purely defensive and deterrent,” and saidit is “unreasonable to expect Iran to abandon its defensive capabilities” under the current conditions.

US lawmakers move to curb Trump’s control over Ukraine aid

A Senate defense committee has approved a draft bill that bars the Pentagon from halting arms shipments and intel sharing with Kiev

A bill authorizing more Ukraine aid and barring the Pentagon from unilaterally halting arms shipments has passed the Senate Armed Services Committee. The measures are part of the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the annual defense bill that outlines the Pentagon’s priorities and funding for the next fiscal year.

The bill comes as tensions have risen between Congress and the White House over aid pauses earlier this year. In March, President Donald Trump temporarily halted all Ukraine assistance and intelligence sharing, while earlier this month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused weapons deliveries, citing the need to review dwindling Pentagon stockpiles.

Aid resumed earlier this week after Trump expressed frustration over delays in the peace process and said Ukraine needs weapons to “defend” itself. Media reports later suggested Trump had not been informed of the latest suspension and struggled to explain whether he had approved it.

The new NDAA draft was passed in a bipartisan vote this week. It “reaffirms” US support for Ukraine, extends aid through 2028, increases annual authorizations from $300 million to $500 million, and requires the Pentagon to continue intelligence support for Kiev, according to a summary released on Friday.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen, however, said the bill also includes language blocking the Pentagon from halting aid or intelligence sharing without congressional approval. She noted that provisions listed in the bill “put guardrails” on the Trump administration “to make sure promised military assistance continues to flow to Ukraine.”

A separate version of the NDAA drafted by House Armed Services Committee Chair Mike Rogers extends aid through 2028 but keeps it capped at $300 million per year. It also prohibits the Trump administration from halting funds without written justification to Congress and requires Hegseth to report regularly on support to Ukraine. The House committee will vote on its version on Tuesday.The bill must pass committee votes before being submitted for a full congressional vote.

Ukraine has received nearly $115 billion in military, financial, and humanitarian US aid since its conflict with Russia escalated in February 2022. The military component of this sum has come through congressional bills such as the NDAA and the Presidential Drawdown Authority, a fund capped by Congress that allows the president to send US weapons directly to Kiev.

Russia has long argued that Western arms prolong the fighting without changing the outcome.

Moscow and Kiev have so far held two rounds of peace talks in Türkiye, reviving a process that Kiev abandoned in 2022 to pursue military victory with Western assistance. Moscow says it is ready to continue negotiations and is awaiting Kiev’s response to schedule the next round.

(Graham and the DS are trying to take the article 2 powers from the President, that is why they didn’t challenge the rogue courts, because they want the same power. Our country is fucked if they take over. I can’t tell you how much I hate the war dogs in the House and Senate. They don’t want their money laundering from Ukraine for their piggy banks to stop.If you want a clear picture how disgusting and non serious Congress is, listen to Santos tell Tucker how truly bad and evil it is.)

Ukraine needs ceasefire by end of 2025 – spy chief

A truce with Russia must be brokered as soon as possible, Kirill Budanov has said

A ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine must be reached by the end of the year, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, Kirill Budanov, said in an interview with Bloomberg published on Friday.

He made the remarks as Ukrainian troops steadily lose ground along different sections of the front line, and after the 2024 incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region ended in costly failure. The Ukrainian army has also been struggling to bring in new conscripts.

Budanov told Bloomberg that “a ceasefire must be reached as soon as possible and well before the end of this year.”

“Is it realistic to do so? Yes. Is it difficult? No,” he said. “It takes at least three sides – Ukraine, Russia, and the US. And we will get to this position.”

Moscow has rejected the proposal for an immediate and unconditional truce, insisting that Kiev and its Western backers must first agree to several demands, including the withdrawal of troops from Russian territory claimed by Ukraine, an end to Ukraine’s mobilization campaign, and a halt to foreign military aid.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also accused Ukraine of seeking a pause in the fighting to rearm and regroup its forces. Moscow has also warned that it will not accept the presence of NATO troops in Ukraine, even if they are deployed under the guise of peacekeepers.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said this week that the sides are working to arrange a third round of direct talks in Türkiye. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said at a summit in Rome on Thursday that the countries must first complete the prisoner swaps agreed to in Istanbul on June 2.

(Budanov is one of highest level leaders on Ukraine intelligence, this is a serious statement and it’s surprising that Zelensky didn’t stop him.)

France opens criminal case against Musk’s X

Politicians claim that the platform’s algorithms boost hate speech and threaten democracy

France has opened a criminal investigation into whether algorithms on Elon Musk’s X platform were used to interfere in domestic politics.

The probe stems from two complaints filed in January, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said on Friday. Without naming Musk directly, she statedthat investigators will examine the company and its executives for allegedly manipulating algorithms “for purposes of foreign interference.”

The first complaint came from Eric Bothorel, a legislator from President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Ensemble party. He alleged that a “reduction in the diversity of voices and options”on X has created a dangerous environment. Bothorel also criticized the platform’s moderation model as lacking clarity and accused Musk of personally intervening in its management, according to France 24. The complaint described X’s activities as posing a “real danger and a threat to our democracies.”

The second complaint reportedly originated from a government cybersecurity official who claimed that changes to the algorithm promote racist and homophobic content, aiming to “skew democratic debate in France.

On Thursday, Socialist Party politicians Thierry Sother and Pierre Jouvet filed a separate complaint against Musk’s chatbot Grok, which recently generated anti-Semitic and other offensive comments on X, including praise of Adolf Hitler.

The Grok team said on Wednesday that they had updated the model to remove hate speech. Musk said the chatbot was “too compliant to user prompts” and “too eager to please and be manipulated” into producing hateful rhetoric.

European politicians have increasingly called for greater oversight of X and similar platforms, warning of potential abuse by bad actors. Musk caused controversy in Berlin when he openly endorsed the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany party (AfD) during parliamentary elections in February. The AfD significantly increased its vote share, becoming the second-largest faction in the Bundestag.

President Trump Announces 30 Percent Baseline Tariff for European Union and Mexico

July 12, 2025 | Sundance1/2

President Trump announced on Truth Social a baseline tariff rate of 30% for both the European Union and Mexico. Other sector specific tariffs still apply.

The EU rate is interesting in that the 30% rate is lower than the Canadian rate of 35%, yet the EU rate exceeds the current ‘chicken tax’ rate historically applied to imported SUVs and Trucks. Strategically, the 30% tariff rate on Europe is a major incentive for various EU sectors to shift manufacturing into the USA.

Without a formal declaration of the end of the Marshall Plan, the reciprocity rate of 30% for all EU imports also equalizes the transatlantic trade benefit. It will be interesting to see how the EU responds, given any retaliation could be added to the existing baseline. (Letter)

Canada is currently trying to organize a trade agreement with the EU, in the hopes of positioning themselves toward the transatlantic group as they were toward the transpacific group (vis-a-vis China).

The Canadian economic model, to position themselves as a gateway into the USA for Chinese component goods, previously served them well as they exploited a NAFTA loophole.However, the new 35% rate impedes their ability to remain an assembly driven manufacturing model. Similarly, the 30% USA rate toward the EUimpedes the Canadian transatlantic approach.

The USA Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is currently 26 to 28 percent of the entire world’s GDP. The USA is by far the most dominant consumer market in the world. President Trump is leveraging access to the U.S. market within the global trade imbalance reset.

Additionally, Mexico also receives the 30% tariff rate applied.Again, interestingly the Mexico rate is lower than the Canadian rate and reflects two distinctly different levels of economic importance. Almost all of Mexico’s manufacturing base exists exclusively due to access to the USA market. (Letter

Hundreds of billions worth of investment dollars from both the EU and China have poured into Mexico for the single purpose of generating tariff-free goods for sale into the USA.

Neither Mexico nor Canada can respond to the tariffs as applied against the backdrop of their dependency on the USA market. Both can try to sell their goods and resources to alternate nations, but the costs associated with the transfer of those goods to alternate countries negates the profit incentive to just streamline the internal process and offset the tariffs.

>>233166092/2

The big question for the EU and Mexico is one we see playing out in Japan, downward wage pressure.

The more a nation tries to offset the tariffs in order to maintain the industry,the less profit margin they have within their operation for wage rates to increase. This is what the USA went through for four decades as the rustbelt took shape and all the manufacturing jobs were offshored.

The Japanese auto sector is now worried about declining wages, the same basic thing will roll forward into China, Mexico the EU, and to a lesser extent Canada. Eventually tariff subsidies run into the natural bottom line of the production sector.

The EU is in the worst possible shape to deal with this wage and labor pressure. Their collective demand toward green energy is extremely expensive and their manufacturing sectors are now facing serious increases in production cost due to the high cost of energy.

The scale of that EU energy problem when combined with the generous worker benefits within the EU creates a reality where they simply cannot take any more upward pressure on production costs, without opening themselves up to cheap Chinese goods.

The EU has massive self-imposed inflation as a result of energy policy. As China maintains state subsidized production, those Chinese goods eventually get dumped into markets like the EU where the domestic suppliers simply cannot compete on price. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has been very vocal about this problem for almost a year.

President Trump is leveraging all of these global dynamics in our favor. Cheap U.S. energy, cheap and abundant U.S. raw materials, reasonable open-market labor rates (deportation process assisting), in combination with the world’s #1 consumer base,makes the best bet for manufacturing to come to the USA.

All of that domestic USA economic activity drives expansion of the GDP, which pushes more money into the federal budget and offsets the cost of govt spending. Add to that GDP growth the income from tariffs, and suddenly we start running a surplus to drive down debt and deficits.

Despite all the seemingly noisy distractions on other matters,on the economic front President Trump’s entire MAGAnomic policy agenda is exceptionally well structured and delivering great results.
