- 0:37America, we are back, baby. Welcome to another episode of
- 0:40America Unfiltered with James Pascalades.
- 0:42This is episode 72. Let's dive.
- 0:44Right into our topics today. We've talked about Caitlin Clark
- 0:47before. She is the star of the WNBA.
- 0:50Arguably, they're. Only good.
- 0:52Player they really have in the league, before they had Caitlin
- 0:55Clark in the WNBA, the players would have to fly commercially.
- 0:59They're a league that's subsidized by the NBA.
- 1:02So if the NBA. Didn't send.
- 1:04Them extra money. Millions and millions of dollars
- 1:06a year. They wouldn't exist.
- 1:08They're a debt. They do not.
- 1:10Run on profit and. This is starting to change a
- 1:13little bit. Now that we have Caitlin Clark
- 1:15in the league, we're starting to see an explosive amount of
- 1:18viewership from young girls all around the country.
- 1:20And not even just young girls, there are sports.
- 1:23Fans everywhere across. The nation.
- 1:24Me. Personally, I'm a.
- 1:25Massive Caitlin Clark fan, I watch.
- 1:27Almost every. Indiana Fever game.
- 1:29And last night's? Game.
- 1:31It was absolutely atrocious. What they let happen to Caitlin
- 1:33Clark. Caitlin Clark coming back from
- 1:35an injury during that. Injury the viewership.
- 1:37In the. WNBA was down over. 55% this is
- 1:41how they treated. Caitlin Clark right after
- 1:44coming. Back and this is how the WNBA
- 1:46refs allowed players to treat. Her with.
- 1:49Almost 0 repercussions. Let's take a look right here.
- 1:52You can see right here the play you see she literally goes right
- 1:55for her face. And then right after she lays
- 1:57her out. That should be a flagrant.
- 1:59Automatic ejection but. No, the WNBA does not care.
- 2:03I'm going to show you guys another clip right here.
- 2:05We're going to take a look at how Caitlin Clark.
- 2:08'S teammate. Stood up for her.
- 2:10The refs aren't going to stand up for WNBA.
- 2:12Might not. But at least we have Sophia.
- 2:15Cunningham standing up for Caitlin Clark.
- 2:18Let's go. Sophia Cunningham.
- 2:19Here's the clip right here. You can see she.
- 2:22Absolutely wastes no time. She throws her right.
- 2:25Down to the. Ground as she.
- 2:26Sees her driving down the court. She takes 2 steps back because.
- 2:28She sees two other girls coming her way, puts her hands right
- 2:31around the back of. Their shoulders, she obviously.
- 2:34Has a little MMA or jiu jitsu? Training in her.
- 2:36She knows what she's doing. But this is what Caitlin Clark
- 2:38needs. Someone in the WNBA?
- 2:41Someone on the Indiana Fever who's going to have her back
- 2:43when the refs don't when the WNBA?
- 2:45And the refs and all. The other players.
- 2:48Are conspiring against Caitlin when they hate Caitlin.
- 2:51When they don't love. The fact that she's a white.
- 2:53Successful NBA player or WNBA player?
- 2:56We need someone. Like this, someone who's going
- 2:57to. Stand up for her and say, you
- 2:59know what, I'm not going. To let these.
- 3:00People bully you. Around.
- 3:01You are the. Reason that this.
- 3:03League is successful, you are the.
- 3:04Reason that jersey sales are. Successful you are.
- 3:07Inspiring young girls all around this nation to want to.
- 3:10Pick up a basketball. I'm going to do what?
- 3:12I can to. Protect you.
- 3:13That's why we love. Sophia Cunningham, because she.
- 3:16Right now seems to be one of the only players on the Indiana
- 3:19Fever who have. Caitlin Clark's back.
- 3:21I'm very proud of Sophia Cunningham.
- 3:23I'm very proud of the Indiana Fever.
- 3:25For all the. Ways they.
- 3:26Support Caitlin Clark. I hope Caitlin Clark has.
- 3:28Continued success. In the WNBA.
- 3:30Like I said, she is by far. The best player in the.
- 3:32League. The blatant racism by the WNBA.
- 3:35Needs to stop. They launched a full scale
- 3:37investigation when Angel Reese missed a free throw to see if
- 3:41racist remarks were screened by the crowd, only to find out it
- 3:44was booze. But Caitlin Clark is
- 3:46continuously targeted. By Angel Reese and other
- 3:48players. And the WNBA does nothing.
- 3:51About it. It is so sad to see.
- 3:53I want to talk about some news we got from the Trump White
- 3:55House. We have news.
- 3:56That there have been 0 border. Crossings in all.
- 3:59Of May this. Is a massive accomplishment for
- 4:01the America First agenda that we're pushing.
- 4:03This is a massive accomplishment for the no illegal immigration
- 4:06agenda we're pushing over. Biden's term in the average of
- 4:11all the Mays. So if you took the four Mays
- 4:12under Biden's term, he averaged 6 1/2 thousand every May.
- 4:16That's illegal border crossings just last May alone.
- 4:20There was. Over 8. 1000 legal border
- 4:22crossings. This is a massive.
- 4:24Drop in illegal. Border crossings.
- 4:25This is like I said. A huge win for the America First
- 4:28movement. A huge.
- 4:29Win for Republicans and conservatives everywhere, and a
- 4:32huge win for America. We need to do what we can.
- 4:35To limit and. Stop all illegal.
- 4:38Immigration in this country country and like I said, we need
- 4:40to do what we can to stop. Legal.
- 4:42Immigration for the time being to get a full accounting of
- 4:45everyone in this country. I'm a big.
- 4:47Believer. Of our government has a duty.
- 4:49To take care of the American people before they take care of.
- 4:52The citizens of other countries, the.
- 4:55Current state of. America is not great.
- 4:58We. Have a lot.
- 4:58Of problems domestically, we have massive.
- 5:01Drug and obesity. Crisis we have.
- 5:04Political unrest in the streets. We have riots happening every
- 5:07day. We have a lot of problems.
- 5:08We need to. Fix domestically before.
- 5:10We can continue to send our. Dollars overseas.
- 5:12And allow. Our tax.
- 5:13Dollars to continue to fund illegal and legal immigration in
- 5:17different. States one of the ways your tax.
- 5:19Dollars is funding. Illegal.
- 5:20Immigration if you live in the state of New.
- 5:22York, your governor just announced that 50 million new.
- 5:26York taxpayer dollars will be. Spent to fund the.
- 5:29Lawyers of illegal. Immigrants, if you live in the
- 5:32state of New York. Your tax rate is already through
- 5:34the roof. I think you pay like a 33%
- 5:37state. Tax or whatever.
- 5:38It is. And then there's a New York City
- 5:39tax on top of it, and now your tax dollars are being spent to
- 5:44help. Illegals.
- 5:45Fight against Donald. Trump.
- 5:47It is absolutely absurd, the way Democrats.
- 5:49They think they can waste. Your tax dollars.
- 5:51It's waste, fraud and abuse. It's.
- 5:52Borderline money laundering. I'm sure a lot of the money is
- 5:55not going to go towards that. I'm sure a lot of the money is
- 5:58going to line the pockets of a. Lot of judges, a lot of.
- 6:01Bureaucrats. And a lot of NGOs, the way money
- 6:03goes in politics, it gets wasted and laundered.
- 6:06So fast there's. No way to.
- 6:08Really keep track. Of it, it was one of the biggest
- 6:09problems that Elon Musk dealt with that doge.
- 6:12He said that the amount of just blank payments where you
- 6:15wouldn't know where it's coming from and you don't even know
- 6:17where it's going to and there is.
- 6:18Zero way to track. It they're everywhere in the
- 6:20government, it's unstoppable. It's been a.
- 6:22Problem for decades. And it's a problem they can't.
- 6:24Root out because of all the. Corruption we currently have in
- 6:27our government. There's way too much corruption
- 6:29in the American government we need in America.
- 6:32Like there used to be, you hear? People all the.
- 6:34Time generally. Really old people.
- 6:36World War 2 veterans who say this isn't the America they knew
- 6:39and loved and. I really I wish.
- 6:41I could see the America they knew and loved because I'm sure
- 6:44I would love it a lot more than this America today.
- 6:46I love America a lot. But America has its problems,
- 6:49and America needs to fix these problems, and the problems
- 6:52domestically need to. Be taken care of.
- 6:54Before we continuously fund all the problems for everyone else
- 6:57around the world, that also brings us into our last topic of
- 7:01the day. It's something we've been
- 7:02talking. About for weeks.
- 7:03The Israel and Iranians. Conflict.
- 7:05Tucker Carlson. Interviewed Ted Cruz.
- 7:07About it yesterday. He released the interview today
- 7:09on X, YouTube, Rumble and all social.
- 7:11Media platforms, everyone. Who has not?
- 7:14Watched this go. Watch this now please.
- 7:17This interview was insane. It was.
- 7:21They targeted each other. Constantly in this interview,
- 7:24they're going. At each other's throats.
- 7:26By the end of it, they were calling each other names.
- 7:29They were. Insulting each other.
- 7:31And it. It's seen that Ted Cruz was
- 7:34getting super fostered the entire.
- 7:36Time with. Tucker Carlson's interview
- 7:40objective. He felt like Tucker Carlson.
- 7:42Was trying to expose him in this interview which I don't.
- 7:45Think that was. The initial objective of the
- 7:48interview was to expose him, but I think.
- 7:49He did get exposed throughout it.
- 7:51I'm going to go through a lot of the highlights.
- 7:53Of this interview. It's a 2 hour interview, I urge
- 7:56all you guys to watch. It I think it's a must see, but
- 8:00in the. Interview they talk about Ted.
- 8:02Cruz's funding from AIPAC. So AIPAC is.
- 8:06The American Israeli Political Action Conference.
- 8:09They pretty much lobby for a. Foreign government in the United
- 8:14States they're. Lobbying for Israel.
- 8:16In the United States government, it's very well known, it's
- 8:19undisputed. It's not like people could say
- 8:21they're not doing. That's exactly what they're
- 8:22doing. But they're not registered as a
- 8:25foreign lobbyist, which is a very odd thing.
- 8:28Tucker Carlson. Brought that up in the interview
- 8:31and he brought. Up that Ted Cruz takes a.
- 8:32Lot of money from. APEC as do.
- 8:34A lot of. Politicians in.
- 8:36America the Vast. Amount of politicians take money
- 8:38from APEC. But he brought up.
- 8:41That and Ted. Cruz's response?
- 8:43Was you're an anti semite? Why is it that he didn't say?
- 8:47Jewish once. He didn't say.
- 8:49Jew. He didn't mentioned the
- 8:51religion. He didn't mention religion at
- 8:53all in this conversation. At this point, he had mentioned
- 8:55the. State of Israel.
- 8:57He had mentioned Israeli intelligence and he had
- 9:00mentioned AIPAC and that. They are a lobbyist.
- 9:05Who are lobbying? For a foreign.
- 9:07Government, Israel's government in America, that is literally
- 9:10what they do and. You have to be registered as a
- 9:13foreign lobbyist to lobby for foreign.
- 9:15Governments and they are not registered as a foreign.
- 9:17Lobbyist. They're registered as a.
- 9:19Domestic lobbyist, which is a lot different so the.
- 9:23Fact that Ted Cruz thought calling Tucker.
- 9:25Carlson an anti semite was the right answer it.
- 9:28Really confused me and it really made me take a step.
- 9:31Back and look. At.
- 9:32All the other people who are just.
- 9:33Called anti semites out of nowhere.
- 9:35Sure there's some real anti semites Kanye released.
- 9:39A song called. Heil Hitler, that's.
- 9:41Very anti semitical. There are people who say anti.
- 9:44Semitical things all the time. That person had that sign that
- 9:47said fuck the Jews at Dave Portnoy's bar.
- 9:49Again, anti semitical. Not OK, not defensible, but how
- 9:53is? Asking about Apex.
- 9:55Funding of government officials in the United States government
- 9:59anti-Semitic how is questioning the funding of.
- 10:02Of a foreign lobbyist for. A foreign nation in the United
- 10:05States influencing political conflicts in the United States.
- 10:08anti-Semitic? I don't understand this.
- 10:11How did it become anti-Semitic to question Israel?
- 10:14I understand if you said something negative about the
- 10:16Jewish religion. I understand if you were
- 10:20implying that everyone in Israel was negative.
- 10:22Because they were. Jewish.
- 10:24But saying that? Israeli intelligence and.
- 10:27Israeli lobbyists should. Not be able to influence
- 10:30American politics seems like a very normal statement to me
- 10:33that. Seems like something that Ted.
- 10:35Cruz shouldn't have flipped out on and.
- 10:37Immediately you. Could see the comments in if you
- 10:40go from just normal spam comments in an.
- 10:43Interview YouTube Live. Feed to blowing up it was.
- 10:47Immediately blowing up? What the hell?
- 10:48What the Hell's going on? Did he really just say that?
- 10:50Did he really just call him an anti semite?
- 10:53How did it go from these two guys?
- 10:55Who are friends? They're doing.
- 10:56An interview. They're talking.
- 10:57About the Iranian. Israel conflict he.
- 11:00Brings up one question about APEC.
- 11:02And it goes to him being an anti semite.
- 11:04This is a huge. Question that needs to be
- 11:06answered in America. Are we allowed to speak out?
- 11:09Against Israel without being called anti semites, I've been
- 11:12speaking out against Israel. Almost all week I speak out.
- 11:15Against. Everything they've done.
- 11:17In this Iranian attack, I don't think they should have done it
- 11:19in the first place. I think if.
- 11:21They were worried. About a nuke, they should have
- 11:23let the United States handle it. I think the fact that the United
- 11:26States is now entwined in this war in what they're calling a
- 11:29defensive position. Is terrible.
- 11:32I think it's. Bad for America?
- 11:33It's bad for Israel. It's bad.
- 11:34For the world, and there's no such thing as a defensive
- 11:37position in war. When you're in a defensive.
- 11:39Position in war. You're just in war.
- 11:41That's just another, nicer way to say it that doesn't make it
- 11:44seem like you're actually in war.
- 11:45But I was promised no new wars around the world under Donald
- 11:48Trump's term, and now we have a new.
- 11:50War. There's a massive war that we.
- 11:53Might be involved. In It's not like there's just a
- 11:55war. Between two countries, the
- 11:56United States is now actively involved in this.
- 11:59War. So yes, we do.
- 12:01Deserve answers and no. Ted Cruz.
- 12:04Tucker Carlson. Is not an anti semite for
- 12:06questioning. AIPAC's possible.
- 12:08Involvement in getting the US into this war, considering Cruz
- 12:12is. Pushing for the regime.
- 12:13Change in Israel right now. It's not out of the.
- 12:16Question to think. That AIPAC is.
- 12:18Influencing this decision with him.
- 12:20Considering that a lot of people.
- 12:22In our government who aren't taking money from AIPAC are
- 12:24standing out against. This, and a lot of the people
- 12:26who are, seemed to be for it. I am not for a regime change in
- 12:31Iran through United States involvement right now.
- 12:33I am not for the denuclearization of Iran through
- 12:36US involvement right now. I am not through defending.
- 12:40Israel. From.
- 12:41Iran through US. Involvement if Israel wanted to
- 12:44get themselves into this war. That is their own prerogative,
- 12:47but it is. Not.
- 12:48Our job to. Protect every.
- 12:50One of our allies, every time they want to go unilaterally
- 12:53strike somebody, especially Israel.
- 12:55Someone we fund to the tune of 3 billion.
- 12:57Dollars a year and Ted Cruz was asked by Tucker.
- 13:01Carlson about the finances that we give.
- 13:04To Israel every year, he kept saying it's. $3 billion a year
- 13:07and then Tucker. Carlson will.
- 13:08Push back. But how much over the last week?
- 13:11How much is it costing us to move our aircraft carriers over
- 13:13there? How much does it cost to send
- 13:15the tanks over? How much is?
- 13:16It costing to have complete. And total control of the
- 13:19Iranian. Airspace the way we do right
- 13:21now, even though we're not supposed to be involved in this
- 13:24war, the United States has control over Iranian airspace,
- 13:27helping defend Israel it. Obviously is.
- 13:30Costing millions and billions of dollars.
- 13:32If anyone knows how the war machine works, it's a economy on
- 13:35its own. It is.
- 13:37Costing the taxpayer billions of dollars for all this to happen.
- 13:40So not only was I promised no new wars around the world, now
- 13:44my taxpayer dollars are funding a war around the world that I
- 13:47don't want the US to be involved in at all that we're now
- 13:50involved in directly. Even though they want to say no,
- 13:53we're just in a. Defensive position.
- 13:55That's another way of saying that we're directly involved in
- 13:57this war and it's going to be a continuous involvement.
- 14:01After they talked about the finances, Tucker then pushed on
- 14:03another. Topic.
- 14:04He started talking. About Israeli intelligence.
- 14:07Because while Israel doesn't have the biggest.
- 14:09Army they might not have all the weapons they might.
- 14:11Not have the biggest missiles. What they do have, and they are
- 14:15extremely strong in, is intelligence.
- 14:18The United States are strong in intelligence as well, but
- 14:20Israeli intelligence is amazing. And Ted Cruz.
- 14:24And Tucker Carlson, we're going back and forth.
- 14:26About the. Idea of sharing intelligence
- 14:29through allies. And if Israel is sharing all
- 14:32their intelligence with the United States and what
- 14:35intelligence they're also collecting on us?
- 14:37Tucker Carlson proposed the idea.
- 14:39That not only are we funding Israel, but we are funding them
- 14:44them to spy on us as well. And Ted?
- 14:47Cruz admitted to this. Ted Cruz said yes, it is most
- 14:50likely that Israel is spying on us.
- 14:52The same way we spy on our allies.
- 14:55And I understand we should be. Spying on our.
- 14:57Allies. The difference is we are funding
- 14:59them. They should not.
- 15:01Be spying. On us.
- 15:02When we are funding them, if we are funding them, it should be
- 15:05contingent on the fact that they are not.
- 15:07Infiltrating our society. With spies, this is a very
- 15:11American. Principle that.
- 15:13Should be just. America 101 law 101 they
- 15:16shouldn't be allowed they should not be allowed to infiltrate our
- 15:20society with. Spies as we're.
- 15:22Funding them, they shouldn't be able to.
- 15:23Infiltrate our society with spies regardless, but especially
- 15:27not when. We're funding them to the tune
- 15:28of $3 billion a year at a minimum.
- 15:32How is that OK? This is a complete lapse in
- 15:35judgment by the government. This is something that I think
- 15:39more politicians need to. Be held accountable.
- 15:41For and I really. Want to start questioning more
- 15:44Ted Cruz motives for this regime change Ted Cruz was heavily
- 15:48pushing? For this Iranian conflict to
- 15:50essentially continue between Israel and Iran and for United
- 15:53States involvement, he wants to see the United States
- 15:56completely. Overthrow the.
- 15:58Regime in. Iran.
- 16:00Right now, this is something that.
- 16:03I don't understand. We have had so much.
- 16:06Poor involvement in the middle. East we literally.
- 16:08Created ISIS only to them go to war with them and then overthrow
- 16:12the government in Syria for ISIS to now be in control.
- 16:15Of Syria. We are constantly over there
- 16:18losing. American soldiers.
- 16:20We had one of the worst. Withdrawals from Afghanistan.
- 16:23It was one of the most embarrassing.
- 16:24Things and possibly. One of the reasons that Putin
- 16:27invaded Ukraine. So there are a lot of.
- 16:30Questions about the. Motives for people.
- 16:33Behind these. Wars in the Middle East.
- 16:35There are a lot. Of questions behind the
- 16:37influence in American. Politics for why?
- 16:38America is going into these wars when Donald Trump has been
- 16:42pushing this America. 1st to. Campaign since 2016 and then
- 16:46now. This is the opposite of America
- 16:49First. Funding.
- 16:50Israel's war. And not only funding it.
- 16:53But actively deploying. Our fighter jets.
- 16:56And using our military abilities to defend their airspace is not
- 17:01America. First, it seems like Israel over
- 17:03America it. Seems like anyone else over
- 17:05America. We need to be putting America
- 17:07first. I want to.
- 17:08Defend America. I want.
- 17:10Our tax. Dollars to be spent in America.
- 17:12They brought. This point up if you knocked.
- 17:14On 100. Doors in America today and you
- 17:16asked them their biggest. Problems.
- 17:18How many of them are going to say Iran or Israel?
- 17:20Almost 0? How?
- 17:22How many are going to say the obesity crisis?
- 17:24How many are going to? Say finances.
- 17:25How many are? Going to say gas prices or the
- 17:27fact? That.
- 17:27People in my. Generation will never be able
- 17:29to. Afford homes.
- 17:30It's a lot. It's skyrocketing.
- 17:32The problems domestically. Need to be fixed.
- 17:34Before we continue to try and. Fix the problems.
- 17:37Abroad, I am not interested in funding this war for Israel.
- 17:41I'm not interested in fighting this war.
- 17:42For Israel. And I'm not interested in the
- 17:45continuous influence of in United States politics.
- 17:48I think lobbying. Almost all together.
- 17:50Should be. Made illegal.
- 17:52I think lobbying only leads to negative things.
- 17:55Lobbying and smoking is some of the reason you see all this.
- 18:00All the bands on different vapes, even though vapes.
- 18:02Are proved to be way. Healthier than cigarettes and
- 18:04different. Flavors with.
- 18:06Nicotine pouches lobbying. Is what is.
- 18:09Bringing unfair gun control and restricting your Second
- 18:13Amendment rights and lobbying is pushing us into foreign.
- 18:16Wars if you don't think. AIPAC's involvement in our
- 18:19government is pushing us into this and is pushing us into this
- 18:22war then you need. To learn a little bit more about
- 18:25American. Politics.
- 18:27Because currently we are seeing a complete.
- 18:30Flip. From the American 1st 2016
- 18:32Donald Trump movement. To this.
- 18:34OK, we need to. Overthrow.
- 18:36Iran's regime from Donald Trump. I'm not.
- 18:39OK with this. Most of America's not.
- 18:41OK with this I urge anyone to try and find me 10 Americans who
- 18:45are OK with sending their fathers, brothers or sons to go
- 18:48die. Overseas for Israel.
- 18:49Right now, because I can't find a single person in this country
- 18:53who wants to do it. When asked in the interview why
- 18:55Cruz wanted to. Protect Israel.
- 18:57He said it was because the Bible.
- 18:58Tells him to. Protect Israel.
- 19:00Tucker Carlson then asked what Bible verse does it say that?
- 19:04Ted Cruz did not know. Ted Cruz again wants to.
- 19:07Do this because. APEC is.
- 19:08Influencing him too. It has nothing to do with.
- 19:10The Bible. It has nothing to do with.
- 19:12What he is. Telling you that's another
- 19:14politician lie. These are war mongers pushing
- 19:17for conflict, pushing for the United States to get involved.
- 19:20They're trying to capitalize and make money.
- 19:22War is an economy on its own. More money is laundered and
- 19:25stolen and more than any other times in history, people are
- 19:28made rich and especially politicians.
- 19:31This is something that I'm heavily against.
- 19:32Like I said, I do not want to to fund this war in Israel.
- 19:36I do not want us to fight this war in Israel.
- 19:38I do not want American patriots to die for any other country
- 19:41right now. I want us to focus on the
- 19:43problems domestically. I want us to.
- 19:46Focus on our great cities like. Think about this.
- 19:50Think about the fact that. DC, New York, LA, Chicago.
- 19:56Some of the most beautiful. Or at a.
- 19:57Point Some of the most beautiful cities in this country are
- 20:00overrun by crime, overrun by gangs, overrun by drug overdoses
- 20:05and homelessness and illegal aliens.
- 20:07These are things that we need to rid this country of.
- 20:09These are problems that we need to focus on.
- 20:12These are things that I want for the America First campaign.
- 20:15I'm James. Pascalides, this is episode 70.
