Segment Topic:
- Jews are scared in America!
- Statistics show America is heading toward NAZI Germany (circa 1938).
- Fewer than one in five Jewish Americans now feels safe in America.
- 42% of Jewish Americans surveyed do not wear anything which identifies them as Jewish while out in public.
- That is up 16% since 2023.
- The “No Kings” crowd who calls those in support of Israel and the Jewish people NAZI’s and fascists are the ones of whom American Jews are afraid of. They are the “from the river to the sea” crowd!
- Jewish Man was arrested for wearing Star of David in London because it ‘antagonized pro-Palestine Protesters!
- London under radical Muslim Sadiq Khan (Mayor of the City of London) has a two-tier justice system. One for anti-Semites, one for everyone else.
- In August, a lawyer, acting as an independent legal observer at a pro-Palestine protest outside the Israeli embassy in central London, was arrested, handcuffed, and detained for almost 10 hours.
- His ‘crime’? Openly wearing a Star of David.
- “A Jewish lawyer wearing a Star of David was arrested after British police claimed the Jewish necklace had “antagonized” pro-Palestine protesters.”
- “The lawyer stated that officers handcuffed him with his hands behind his back, placed him in a police vehicle, and held him for questioning. He said he was detained for nearly 10 hours!”
- “The Metropolitan Police denied that the arrest was related to the necklace, asserting that the man was detained for “repeatedly breaching” officers’ instructions to keep opposing protest groups separated, according to The Telegraph. But the lawyer documented around 30 incidents of criminal behavior by protesters, none of which resulted in an arrest. Instead, it was just the Jewish man who ended up under arrest.” (The Gateway Pundit)
- Why is story from London relevant? Because in three-months, Zohran Mamdani is going to do the same thing in NYC. Jews who show their Jewishness will be arrested by compliant NYPD officers if pro-Palestinian protesters are deemed insulted by Jews who refuse to stay silent on the streets of New York.
- For anyone paying attention to the world, however, you’re no doubt aware of just how perilous — and powerless — life is for Christians outside of America’s protection.
- Father Custodio Ballester, a Catholic priest in Spain, is facing the possibility of very real prison time on charges of “Islamaphobia,” according to a harrowing report from The Christian Broadcasting Network.
- Ballester is facing up to three years in prison for this charge, as well as fines.
- The big crime? Answering a question about the possibility of an interfaith dialogue between Christians and Muslims.
- “This renewed revival of Christian-Muslim dialogue, paralyzed by the alleged ‘imprudence’ of the beloved Benedict XVI, is far from a reality,” Ballester wrote in a letter, responding to the question. “Islam does not allow for dialogue. You either believe or you are an infidel who must be subdued one way or another.”
- The Christian Broadcasting Network added: “In a 2017 YouTube video, Ballester expanded on his 2016 remarks, warning that Islam not only poses a threat in Europe, but also that in many Muslim-majority countries, Christians face persecution.”

Segment Topic:
- One day after the New York City mayoral debate, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani openly campaigned at a mosque alongside Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
- Instead of distancing himself, Mamdani proudly highlighted the event. He even posted about it publicly, as if daring New Yorkers to overlook the danger.
- For years, warnings about Mamdani’s ties to Wahhaj have circulated. Wahhaj was named by federal prosecutors as a co-conspirator in the terror plot that killed six and injured more than a thousand.
- One prevalent protest sign from the “No Kings” crowd was: “Christian Nationalists are America’s Taliban.”

Segment Topic:
Who is running China?
- In “The China Matrix,” New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist Lee Smith reveals the shocking truth about how U.S. political and corporate elites conspired with Beijing to reshape the global order—at America’s expense. From Henry Kissinger’s secret dealings with Mao to the tech oligarchs cozying up to Xi Jinping, Smith exposes the web of corruption and betrayal that spans decades. He reveals how globalism, Silicon Valley, and the media worked together to whitewash China’s crimes while dismantling American industry and national security.
- The China Matrix: The Epic Story of How Donald Trump Shattered a Deadly Pact, is also a story of resistance. Author, Lee Smith chronicles how Trump’s presidency shattered the illusion of a benign China, forcing the establishment to confront the consequences of their own greed. From trade wars to TikTok, fentanyl to finance, The China Matrix details the battle between America First and the entrenched pro-China elite—and what’s at stake in the next chapter of this global showdown.
- With stunning new revelations about Elon Musk’s growing influence, Joe Biden’s China entanglements, and the role of U.S. universities in Beijing’s espionage network, The China Matrix is a gripping exposé of the most dangerous alliance in modern history—and the fight to break free before time runs out.
- Lee Smith will be a panelist on YNTA soon!

Segment Topic:
- A significant military buildup off the coast of Venezuela:
- B52’s flying over Venezuela!
- The US military has been steadily massing a large number of troops, naval and air assets in the Caribbean over the last two months, conducting training missions off the coast of Venezuela, reopening a military base in Puerto Rico that had been shuttered for decades, and attacking speedboats carrying suspected drug traffickers from Venezuela and Colombia.
- As of Tuesday, a significant percentage of all deployed US naval assets globally are also now located in US Southern Command, the US military’s command responsible for operations in the region, according to a fleet tracker published by the United States Naval Institute’s news portal.
- That includes the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group and the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, amounting to more than 4,500 Marines and sailors, three guided-missile destroyers, an attack submarine, a special operations ship, a guided missile cruiser and P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft.
- At the same time, the US has deployed 10 F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico, which has become a hub for the US military as part of the increased focus on the Caribbean. The US has also deployed at least three MQ-9 reaper drones to the island, according to images captured by Reuters in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. (CNN)
- Naval Station Roosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, a US military installation that had been shuttered since 2004, is now back up and running, according to satellite imagery and photos taken at the base.
- At least one AC-130J Ghostrider, a heavily armed plane capable of providing air support to ground troops, was photographed equipped with Hellfire missiles at José Aponte de la Torre Airport in Puerto Rico, which is used by the installation.
- A separate image, captured by a local photographer, appears to show another Ghostrider at the same facility.
- That airport has been a staging ground for US military operations in the region over the last several months.
- What is the Administration’s end game here? Regime change?
- “The military presence in the Caribbean is too big for just hitting a few speedboats, though it is not big enough for an invasion of Venezuela,” Elliott Abrams, who served as the US envoy to Venezuela during Trump’s first term, told CNN on Thursday. “What’s in the middle, I think, is a pressure campaign, meant to rattle Venezuela.” (CNN)
