Behind the public justifications for war lies a more complicated reality — one shaped by politics, power, and pressures few officials will acknowledge openly.
I’m sick to death of his merchandising, now new 24ct gold coins of him leaning on his desk with his little f’in fists. Not only is he personally always spending over budget while fundraising for millions from his billionaires who save at the citizens huge losses. How many are making money on OIL while the people are paying high amounts. The inequality is endless😱😰
Good to hear Steve Schmidt articulating about the morphing of American Exceptionalism into myopic domestic AND foreign policy. Yes…this extends back to the early 2000’s and even earlier of course.
But it has reached epically rotten proportions now under this USA regime and has hobbled and tethered your sound American ideals to ignorance, corruption and unbelievable ineptitude in the personification of Trump. This is what we see from overseas.
Here in Australia?
We see the situation possibly a little more accurately and objectively than the average American, who sadly doesn’t even have access to a healthy and objective mainstream media now.
Always great coverage, Tara. Much appreciated. Both you and Steve Schmidt are excellent.
As an aside, as a mature 60 something year old woman who experienced trauma in early life and actually went on to transform and heal in a way Giuffre and others didn’t have a chance to, I particularly appreciate your longstanding coverage of the Epstein files.
You’ve really understood it as a story that exemplifies what distortions and abuse of power dynamics mean in reality for many girls and women (and boys and men too. )
You’ve articulated this with sensitivity and laser focus.
Thankfully it’s a world most people don’t ever have to experience. As a survivor, I know your coverage has been insightful, thorough and highly articulate. I cannot say that for everyone!
Tara We just paid $6.79 a gallon for regular unleaded gasoline in Eureka California. Everyone forgets that’s “we” who live on the west coast pay much more for fuel than those who live on the east coast or middle America. 🇺🇸
And Russia is making 150M a day so he can move his oil & gas & NOW he has a war chest to go after Ukraine which drumpf constantly complains about billions of cash from Biden, a lie as it was munitions NOT cash even today with the head of Japan. The same lies & fabrications are relentless & so is his asking his followers for $ He’s such a GONIF & never spends HIS MONEY. And that ballroom should NOT BE BUILT! It’s bigger than the rest of the WH and talking about rebuilding the Kennedy Center now with his name first. Everybody canceled so he closed it and took the Peace Bldg which wasn’t Govt & his name on that spending OUR TAXES❓We lose all the taxes from putting migrants into gross detention centers killing them & they’re not criminals and there are women & babies/children! STOP THESE MADMEN🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
FACTOID: King Orange of Depends now wants TWO HUNDRED BILLION MORE DOLLARS TO COVER UP THE EPSTEIN FILES.
The dude has already murdered and injured a bunch of our troops, decimated countless billions of energy infrastructure, slaughtered untold thousands of Iranians, …..
Evidently he did a few things with Jeffie & Gizzy that are much worse than shooting someone on 5th Ave, just say’n.
I chuckle with sadness when I hear you guys say that $4 a gallon is expensive for gas - here in the UK & Europe we were paying £1.30+ PER LITRE before this war started
It’s always a pleasure to hear from Tara’s point of view.
We are in Iran, because, of elections, and Epstein files
well said
$5.59 - Seattle, today.
damn
Yup.
No price is too high to stuff those Epstein files where no one can find them!!

Thankyou. An excellent lent summary

Great work!
What happened to all the money approved in the big ugly bill? The American people have paid enough!!

that's true, it's obscene in California

Not one more dime.
Iran will never forget, even if they lose in the near future.

Steve has opened my eyes to this war, knowledgeable especially considering he’s been through Iraq.
Why is normalcy expected from this mentally ill demented being. All energy must be directed at removing the Executive Branch.
I love Steve Schmidt’s takes! What a great collab. Thanks for always having such interesting voices on your show, Tara.
