    The Revolution is Here: Elie Mystal on What Democrats Must Do Now

    Elie Mystal joins Gaslit Nation to scream with joy and discuss what Democrats must do now to meet the moment. We discuss a leadership challenge to Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, why leadership battles–just like our primaries–are healthy and necessary for democracy, how Democrats must avoid pulling another Merrick Garland while in power, and which fascists we can't wait to see subpoenaed first.  Elie Mystal is The Nation's justice correspondent and a columnist; host of its legal podcast, Contempt of Court; and author of the weekly newsletter "Elie v. U.S." He is the author of the New York Times best-sellers Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution and Bad Law: 10 Popular Laws That Are Ruining America. This is Part I of our discussion. To listen to Part II, where we get into how to tell which Democrats are controlled opposition, why we need to press Ro Khanna and anyone who tolerated the rise of techbro fascism and now wants to become president, why Gavin Newsom can't be trusted, who to impeach and why, Trump's desperation making Stephen Miller chief-of-staff, and so much more, subscribe to Gaslit Nation on Patreon.com/Gaslit or GaslitNation.Substack – discounted annual memberships are available, and you can give the gift of Gaslit Nation.

    Welcome to the New American Revolution

    Don't call it a blue wave. It was a rage wave. Americans are united against oligarchy. The status quo is finished. A new, better America is rising from the ashes. That is why we must fight for real leaders who meet the moment, starting with a meaningful leadership challenge to Hakeem Jeffries and Chuch Schumer. No one can lead us in the Congress who takes AIPAC money, which supports a lawless Israel, aligned with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Russia in a transnational crime syndicate against democracy. The people have spoken. And we're just getting started.

    Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner's Massive Debt to Oligarchy Riches

    Trump, Kushner, and Netanyahu's war with Iran began with a shadowy alliance that formed in late 2016, following the US election that turned the world upside down. It was driven by two mysterious bank accounts managed in part by Jared Kushner, with a combined $2 billion–a Middle Eastern autocratic slush fund that essentially served as a bribe to the Trump family to get America–the most powerful military in the world–to unleash war on Iran–an enemy of Netanyahu, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) of the UAE, and murderous millennial Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) of Saudi Arabia.  Those are just some of the explosive revelations in investigative journalist Matthew Cole's new must-read book Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed's Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East. With Trump furious at his ex-lawyer Alina Baba essentially selling a pardon for $50 million, and not cutting him in on the deal–a sin in Trump world where you've got to pay to play–Trump must have known about Kushner's $2 billion secret bank accounts from Middle Eastern autocratic leaders who treated Kushner like their unregistered foreign agent in Trump's White House.  In Part I of our discussion with Matthew Cole, we discuss: Jared Kushner was in massive debt over his family's vanity purchase of 666 5th Avenue, and therefore a major national security risk, when he managed his father-in-law's campaign for president in 2016 and entered the White House.   In fact, several core members of the Trump campaign were deeply in debt or on shaky ground financially when they decided to unite forces and win the White House in 2016 with the Kremlin's very illegal help. In power, they all got insanely rich through corruption and lawlessness thanks to financial deals with the most powerful and imperialist autocrats running the Middle East: the UAE and Saudi Arabia.  How the sex crimes in Jared Kushner's family mirror those of the families that run the UAE and Saudi Arabia, autocratic regimes Kushner would join forces with.  Why George Nader, a notorious pedophile, was key to the operation of connecting the UAE and Saudi Arabia with Kushner and Trump. Princes and Thieves unearths the crimes carried out in the shadows during Trump's first term, giving us greater insight in the crimes and corruption carried out in the open today during Trump's second. This discussion, along with Part II running next week, also provides important insights into how to hold Kushner accountable, and how to prevent another Trump regime. This is a book and a conversation you're not going to want to miss. Gaslit Nation's episode on the midterms is running later this week. Thank you to everyone who makes Gaslit Nation possible. The oligarchy has chilled the mainstream media into complicit silence. That is why Gaslit Nation exists: to give voice to urgent and important bombshell reports like Princes and Thieves. We are the safe haven for investigations that corporate media and their lawyers are too afraid to reveal. Your support keeps our work going.

    Putin's Trojan Horse in Alaska

    Trump has his personal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, whom he met through longtime Kremlin operative Paul Manafort, investigating Democrats in Alaska for two Dan Sullivans being on a rank choice voter ballot, where the duplicated name doesn't make much of a difference. What is the real reason? Gaslit Nation's bonus show takes you into the five alarm fire of Putin trying to entrench a hostile takeover in Alaska.  How? The same way Russia has always held extortion-power leverage over its neighbors: energy dependence. This is a Gaslit Nation you don't want to miss. And if you know anyone in Alaska, share this episode with them.  How did the Kremlin's big energy venture in Alaska make it this far? The answer lies in their close allies, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a regime that helped get Jared Kushner out of debt in 2016 and onto the path of becoming a Russian-style oligarch. This week's Gaslit Nation bonus show dives deeper into Kushner, the UAE, and their friends in the Kremlin, and their plot for us here at home.  To listen to the full episode and support our independent journalism subscribe at Patreon.com/Gaslit or GaslitNation.Substack.com.

    Anti-Fascist Economics: How to Defeat the Oligarchy

    How do we take our democracy back from the oligarchs and build a livable future? When we're up against all the money in the world, what is our leverage? And what does an economy based on human dignity look like? Economist Isabella Weber joins Gaslit Nation to discuss the urgent answers in her new book, Anti-Fascist Economics: In Defense of Affordability, Dignity, and Democracy.  Weber grew up in Nuremberg, Germany, an ancient city--important for the Holy Roman Empire--which is why the Nazis chose it to launch the Third Reich, with their racist Nuremberg Laws and fascist pageantry rallies. Witnessing the scars of that nightmare, she studied the history of how business elites empower fascism to crush workers and keep them in line. History repeats today with American oligarchs and high-powered law firms cozying up to Trump as his goon squad, ICE, disappears people off the street, and to concentration camps, and his regime weaponizes the government against dissidents and elections.  We discuss the oligarchs' revolt of threatening to leave states that dare to force them to pay their fair share in taxes, how FDR won the war against wannabe oligarchs as a national security urgency of protecting democracy, the chilling legacy of Joe McCarthy's Red Scare, how to confront the weaponization of greed used by Russian oligarchs to hijack democracies, and much more.

    Corruption Breeds Chaos

    Welcome to the future! It's a lot like today: looting sprees at the top–by hedge funds; looting sprees by protesters in the streets. It will take all of us in a popular uprising, led by real leaders, like AOC, not self-serving politicians like Ro Khanna, to get us out of this. Gaslit Nation is here to help you stay grounded in this week's bonus show looking at why you can't trust Ro, the Paris protests, Trump's lifeline to Putin's failing invasion of Ukraine, and more.  But first, congratulations to Jared Kushner for finally becoming just another Russian oligarch with an Israeli passport. There's hope for other nepo-baby trust fund kids whose parents had to buy their way into the ivy league. More on that in our news round-up – there is just so much news we had to share what we couldn't cover in the bonus instead in the show notes.  Here is your World War III news round-up: Vanity Fair published an excerpt of investigative journalist Matthew Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed's Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East. Kushner and a lawyer at the DOJ both responded by threatening legal action, which they will never do, because that would lead to discovery–revealing even more dirty secrets. What's not a secret, as Cole's book confirms once again, Kushner, with his no-longer-secret bank accounts, is dangerously corrupt: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Princes-and-Thieves/Matthew-Cole/9781668095324 Matthew Cole's damning book into Jared Kushner's illegal Middle East cash machine confirms once again that Kushner is illegally operating as an unregistered foreign agent and must be prosecuted: https://newrepublic.com/post/216985/jared-kushner-phone-hack-middle-east-dictators Prosecute Jared Kushner: "'It's not complicated,' the Kushner acquaintance told me.
