Ambassador Huckabe and the deputy chief of mission approved of this visit and met with him without telling the CIA and as I said without cabling the State

8 seconds

Department and telling the Secretary of State, we're going to do this really,

10 seconds

really controversial thing and we just want you to know beforehand that this is what we're doing. I would ask Ambassador Huckabe, what possible good for American foreign policy did you think this was

19 seconds

going to accomplish? And my only my only response remains that Ambassador Huckabe should resign and if he doesn't resign,

25 seconds

he should be fired.

Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Jimmy Door Show. I'm your guest host Chris Keane. I'm filling in for Jimmy.

34 seconds

He's on tour in Australia here with Misha and Kurt Mezer. All right. MAGA freaks out that Trump ambassador met

42 seconds

with spy who sold out the US. Ambassador Mike Huckabe met with Jonathan Pard without the White House's prior knowledge.

52 seconds

The news treason, by the way,

54 seconds

right? The news caught the rest of the administration offguard, including the CIA and the president. According to three US officials that spoke with the

1 minute, 2 seconds

New York Times, the friendly offthebooks encounter friendly. He's friendly. It's a friendly meeting with the guy who betrayed our country.

1 minute, 10 seconds

That sounds like something Lindsey Graham seeks or Mike Johnson.

1 minute, 13 seconds

The friendly off the book encounter took place at the US embassy in Jerusalem.

1 minute, 19 seconds

According to Pard, who spoke with the Times by phone on Wednesday, White House press secretary Caroline Levit told reporters Thursday that the White House

1 minute, 27 seconds

was not informed of the meeting beforehand, but that regardless, the president stands by our ambassador.

1 minute, 33 seconds

That's weird. It was unclear if the State Department had given the go-ahad for the meeting and still more confusing as to why Huckabe and his senior adviser

1 minute, 42 seconds

believed it prudent to meet with one of the most notorious spies from the cold war. MAGA conservatives were outraged by

1 minute, 49 seconds

the meeting, arguing online that Huckabe should be removed from his post for meeting with a traitor. Here's Steve

1 minute, 55 seconds

Bannon. Immediately recall Ambassador Huckabe. He is out of control.

2 minutes, 1 second

Well, Bannon's right, but he doesn't talk about Israel like that. He's real like, well, Israel's fighting for his life right now.

2 minutes, 7 seconds

Yep. So, Cernovich says, "There is no universe where it's appropriate for Mike Huckabe, who is supposed to be our

2 minutes, 14 seconds

ambassador and serve our country's interests, is meeting with Jonathan Pard, who is to this day encourages spying on the US."

2 minutes, 23 seconds

Why does his wife dressed like Ilhan Omar? That's my question. [laughter] Hey, hey, ask his wife, Queen Latifah. What's up with her?

2 minutes, 31 seconds

Hey, I will have no Queen Latifah slander on this show. It's just very strange [laughter] to see such Muslim. First Queen Latifah album. Great album.

2 minutes, 39 seconds

Uh that is anyone looking. All right. M Mike Huckabe confirms he met with convicted spy. Isn't that fun?

2 minutes, 46 seconds

Oh, they just to jam. Probably just to [laughter] jam and do one of their great songs.

2 minutes, 51 seconds

You US ambassador to Israel and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabe confirmed to Axios that he met with convicted spy

2 minutes, 59 seconds

Jonathan Pard after the New York Times first reported the meeting on Thursday.

3 minutes, 3 seconds

Pard, an analyst for the US Naval Criminal Investigation Service, was convicted of giving Israel classified

3 minutes, 10 seconds

documents in the mid 80s and sentenced to life in prison. He served nearly 30 years before being released on parole in

3 minutes, 19 seconds

2015. So Obama released him or that was under Obama at least. He moved to Israel in 2020 under Trump. Trump So Trump changed

3 minutes, 28 seconds

something so this guy could escape back to Israel.

3 minutes, 30 seconds

Oh, okay. Wow. All right. So Huckabe told Axios that nothing was requested and nothing was granted in the meeting

3 minutes, 37 seconds

which took place in July according to the times. He said many people request meetings and he tries to accommodate.

3 minutes, 44 seconds

So traders to the US especially if they're traitors to America.

3 minutes, 47 seconds

Yeah, we'll try to accom I mean I guess we have al-Qaeda in the White House now. So I mean I guess this is what we do. I mean I the guy it's not just al-Qaeda,

3 minutes, 55 seconds

ISIS, a founding member of ISIS and al-Qaeda. So a guy with a great resume coming to visit the White House.

4 minutes

[laughter]

4 minutes, 1 second

Mike Huckabe hosts US citizen who spied for Israel. Here's another report. Pard passed along hundreds of classified

4 minutes, 9 seconds

documents and over a thousand intelligent cables to Israel's MSAD. He was convicted to life in prison in ' 87

4 minutes, 16 seconds

in a high-profile espionage case that marked him as a legendary traitor during the Cold War. Polard, who was Jewish,

4 minutes, 24 seconds

often talked about immigrating to Israel while working for the US government. a declassified suit. Why Why is a

4 minutes, 32 seconds

Why is a um Why are we being spied on by an ally? That's what Oh, they all spy on each other. Get over it. Especially for nuclear secrets.

4 minutes, 41 seconds

Nothing wrong with that. A declassified CIA report written in '

4 minutes, 46 seconds

87 said a factor in Pard's background was his persistent and growing determination to assist Israel, either by immigrating to that country or by

4 minutes, 54 seconds

other means, which eventually meant espionage. Why would you hire him? I thought you put people under lie detectors and all kinds of that if

5 minutes, 1 second

you hear CIA tell you they didn't. None of this came up. Yeah.

5 minutes, 6 seconds

From this guy that looks like I mean frankly like at best negative propaganda about the appearance of people from certain [laughter]

5 minutes, 14 seconds

US officials US officials that that would work great in a roast battle. Uh Kurt, what you just said?

5 minutes, 21 seconds

I I just I'm looking like no one saw this coming. [laughter]

5 minutes, 25 seconds

So, uh, US officials at the time said that Pard had jeopardized the lives of US soldiers in deplored around the world with the intelligence he gave to MSAD.

5 minutes, 36 seconds

But let's have a meeting with him. You know, he seems like a good guy.

5 minutes, 39 seconds

Uh, the New York Times said the July visit was kept off Huckabe's official schedule and that it alarmed the CIA station chief in Israel.

5 minutes, 48 seconds

Oh, did it? Why? Why do these the CIA pretend they're alarmed? You don't do that helps America ever,

5 minutes, 53 seconds

Paulard, now 71, was released on parole from a federal penitentiary in North Carolina in 2015. He was banned from

6 minutes, 2 seconds

leaving the US, but in 2020, during the final days of the first Trump administration, the Justice Department did not extend his parole restrictions.

6 minutes, 11 seconds

Polard moved to Israel, where he had been granted citizenship while in prison. He received a hero's welcome for his spy craft. I thought I thought

6 minutes, 20 seconds

Israel was our ally. I I'm so confused right now.

6 minutes, 24 seconds

Huckabe, an evangelical Christian Zionist, is an ardent defender of Israel. He previously refused to admit that the Palestinian people exist. Wow.

6 minutes, 35 seconds

They don't exist. All right. And has called for Israel to annex the entire occupied.

6 minutes, 40 seconds

I wonder if he's a traitor like the guy he went to visit. I wonder if he's a similar traitor. I mean, it's just a hunch.

6 minutes, 46 seconds

How is this guy in our government? I don't understand.

6 minutes, 48 seconds

Because your whole government is not controlled by your vote. If you believe in it still, you're you're a If you still believe in it, you are stupid.

6 minutes, 55 seconds

I'm sorry to tell you.

6 minutes, 58 seconds

The latter position is in direct contrast to do Trump's vow that he will not allow Israel to annex the territory.

7 minutes, 6 seconds

It's unclear what prompted Paul's visit to the US embassy in Jerusalem. I'm sure they were just playing checkers, guys.

7 minutes, 12 seconds

Maybe they want to ask him where all the hidden nuclear devices you've only seen in Mission Impossible are hidden around [laughter] America. I mean, we have to do what they say. Maybe that's for that.

7 minutes, 20 seconds

He's not a traitor.

7 minutes, 22 seconds

In the past, even other staunchly pro-Israel US ambassadors have shunned him. Shortly after meeting Huckabe,

7 minutes, 28 seconds

Paulard trashed his boss, Trump, telling the New York Times he was a mad man who has literally sold us down the drain for

7 minutes, 36 seconds

Saudi gold. Paul appeared to be referring to the visit this week by Saudi Saudi Arabia's crown prince.

7 minutes, 44 seconds

President Trump said Saudi Arabia and the US signed $270 billion worth of new investment deals.

7 minutes, 51 seconds

Are we pretending the Saudis and Israel aren't aren't cool with each other and they weren't about to sign the Abraham or they weren't? Like what is this nonsense?

7 minutes, 57 seconds

I who knows. The two also signed a major defense partnership that US sources tell Middle East I is expected to fasttrack

8 minutes, 6 seconds

arms sales to the kingdom and unlock access to advanced military technology.

8 minutes, 11 seconds

Trump appeared to taunt Israel at an Oval Office meeting with the Saudi crown prince. Trump said he knew that Israel

8 minutes, 18 seconds

was asking the US to sell the Kingdom F35 warplanes of reduced caliber,

8 minutes, 23 seconds

telling the Saudi crown prince, "I don't think that makes you too happy. I think they Saudi Arabia and Israel are both at a level where they should get top of the line."

8 minutes, 33 seconds

What is that in killing people in Yemen?

8 minutes, 35 seconds

Apparently the side effect I I want to know why we have money to give give all these weapons to other countries. We can't even take care of our own people. That's what

8 minutes, 44 seconds

because we didn't spend on taking care of our own people. That's how we got it. Yes. That's how you answer your own question.

8 minutes, 49 seconds

Yeah. Why would Mike Huckabe hold an offthebooks meeting with trader John Jonathan Pard at the US embassy? This is

8 minutes, 56 seconds

an outrageous diplomatic lapse and Huckabe should resign or be fired because he's a traitor as well. What is this hard?

9 minutes, 4 seconds

Right. Well, here's a video.

9 minutes, 6 seconds

I have worked in American embassies around the world for half of my adult life, and I know how business is conducted, especially business by

9 minutes, 13 seconds

American ambassadors. If you're going to meet with anybody that's even a little bit controversial, you have to cable the Secretary of State and say, "Mr.

9 minutes, 20 seconds

Secretary, I'm thinking of having a meeting with Jonathan Pard. Here's what I intend to say. We're not going to inform the media or we are going to inform the re the media." If the request

9 minutes, 28 seconds

is that sensitive, it will be referred to the National Security Council,

9 minutes, 32 seconds

specifically to the National Security Adviser, who's supposed to be the adult in the room. In this case, the Secretary Rubio is both secretary of state and national security adviser. But then the

9 minutes, 40 seconds

White House weighs in and would say absolutely not. It doesn't promote or advance American foreign policy in any way, and it doesn't help the president

9 minutes, 47 seconds

of the United States in any way. Another thing that we learned today is that this meeting didn't take place yesterday.

9 minutes, 51 seconds

This meeting took place in July, and it was never on Ambassador Huckabe's calendar, so it was never leaked to the press. Finally, someone who knew about it leaked it. And what we learned from

10 minutes

the New York Times and the Washington Post this morning was that the CIA station chief in Jerusalem was apoplelectic that this happened. And there were at least three whistleblowers

10 minutes, 8 seconds

inside the embassy that so objected to it that they finally went to the media and said that Ambassador Huckabe had done this.

10 minutes, 14 seconds

It was about the US embassy in in Israel and what that would look like from a security perspective welcoming him into US sovereign territory. That's what that is.

10 minutes, 22 seconds

Someone who wants American that's a good question. You know, he's literally inside of US sovereign territory in a foreign country. That's what embassies are, right, at the end of the day. And

10 minutes, 30 seconds

he's lit he's a traitor to the United States and he's there. I mean, shouldn't he been arrested when he walked in? What sort of security would happen?

10 minutes, 36 seconds

You know, that was my first thought that if I were pard, I would have been afraid to enter the American embassy because I would have been afraid to be arrested with all that he said advocating nuclear

10 minutes, 44 seconds

using nuclear weapons against the United States. I would consider him to be a threat. I would have arrested him. When I've worked at embassies around the world, whenever there was a a VIP

10 minutes, 52 seconds

visitor for a meeting, everybody in the building knows it. Everybody. And it turns out that Ambassador Huckabe and the deputy chief of mission approved of this visit and met with him without

11 minutes

telling the CIA and as I said, without cabling the State Department and telling the Secretary of State, we're going to do this really, really controversial thing and we just want you to know

11 minutes, 8 seconds

beforehand that this is what we're doing. I would ask Ambassador Huckabe,

11 minutes, 11 seconds

what possible good for American foreign policy did you think this was going to accomplish? And my only my only response remains that Ambassador Huckabe should

11 minutes, 19 seconds

resign. And if he doesn't resign, he should be fired. In all the years that Jonathan Pard was in prison, he was in maximum security prisons, the last one

11 minutes, 27 seconds

was in Butner, North Carolina. Every single time that an Israeli prime minister visited the United States, they would ask for Jonathan Pard's release.

11 minutes, 35 seconds

And every single time they were told no,

11 minutes, 38 seconds

he won't be released. Bill Clinton toyed with the idea briefly of releasing him in the late 1990s. and George Tennant and all of the heads of the intelligence

11 minutes, 46 seconds

agencies in the US government said that they would resign if he were to be released and then the idea went away. So he did his full 30 years but then all of a sudden gets VIP treatment at the American embassy in Jerusalem.

11 minutes, 55 seconds

Unbelievable. [laughter] This is unbelievable. This is not a story that President Trump want needs right over his head right now for sure.

12 minutes, 2 seconds

And here we have Netanyahu demanded Bill Clinton release convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pard after telling Clinton Israel knew of the tapes between him and Lewinsky according to multiple reports.

12 minutes, 15 seconds

Yeah. No This is our ally spy for Israel. She's a honeypot for Israel.

12 minutes, 20 seconds

So our ally is threatening our president. That's interesting. Clinton did not do it after George Tenant threatened to resign as CIA chief if he

12 minutes, 28 seconds

did so. Obama released him in 2015 and now he's meeting with Huckabe.

12 minutes, 35 seconds

Jonathan Pauler was an Israeli spy who gave massive troves of US intel secrets to Tel Aviv. Here he celebrates Israel blackmailing the US with nuclear

12 minutes, 43 seconds

weapons. Pard now says he met secretly with US ambassador Mike Huckabe without the White House house's knowledge.

12 minutes, 51 seconds

Oh, he's the bestest guy. We are now feeding our enemy. I mean,

12 minutes, 55 seconds

this has never happened in history before and you have to ask why. And I don't want to hear this business that is consistent with Jewish morality. It isn't. Anybody saying that doesn't know anything about Jewish morality at all.

13 minutes, 6 seconds

Let me bring you back to October 1973 during the Yamapour war when Henry Kissinger instituted an arms embargo against us. And what happened? What

13 minutes, 14 seconds

happened was an A4 Skyhawk was parked at Telnouth air base with some interesting weapons under its wings. And uh we told

13 minutes, 22 seconds

the Americans, "Take your eye in the sky and take a good look at the airplane that's on that runway." And the next day the airlift started to the to Israel the arms air.

13 minutes, 31 seconds

So in other words, we threatened their um we threatened to use unconventional weapons. I'll leave it at that. And so he said, "Is this what you're want us to threaten now?" I said, "Absolutely,

13 minutes, 38 seconds

except this time I want us to go forward with it if necessary. If they think we're bluffing, we go forward with it."

13 minutes, 43 seconds

Look, as far as I'm concerned, when we are faced with an existential threat, we have the right to use any and all

13 minutes, 50 seconds

weapons in our disposal to eliminate that existential threat. A lot of people don't know anything about nuclear weapons at all, what they are, how they

13 minutes, 58 seconds

can be used. And I'm I'm tired of using euphemisms. I'm tired of saying, "Well,

14 minutes, 1 second

we have something, you know, in the basement, but we won't be the first to introduce uh nuclear weapons in the Middle East." It's enough already.

14 minutes, 9 seconds

This guy's threatening using nuclear weapons. Sam's an option.

14 minutes, 13 seconds

Wow. It's weird. Iran wasn't and we had to go do a Top Gun 2 uh frame by frame reenactment on them, right?

14 minutes, 21 seconds

But our best pals are has Wow.

14 minutes, 24 seconds

But we Yeah, we're having friendly friendly meetings with We'll try explaining it to a from America, right?

14 minutes, 31 seconds

Because most of the people here are too absolutely stupid to to He goes, "We're feeding our enemies." I think we're doing that, right? We're giving them about $3 trillion. [laughter]

14 minutes, 40 seconds

Here we go. Mike Huckabe went to Israel 14 years ago to lobby for the freedom of Israeli spy Jonathan Pard. So, this has

14 minutes, 47 seconds

been going on a long time. who forked over the NSA's signals intelligence manual to Tel Aviv. Trump and the Senate

14 minutes, 55 seconds

GOP then chose him as their point person to represent the America First brand in Israel. Nice.

15 minutes, 2 seconds

And here's Governor Huckabe joins the recent calls to act in benefit of Jonathan Pard who has spent more than 25 years in US prison for spying for Israel.

15 minutes, 11 seconds

He plead guilty. He served an extraordinary length of time for um the crime that he was convicted of to which

15 minutes, 20 seconds

he plead guilty. And it would seem to now be I think a matter of uh good will

15 minutes, 27 seconds

and a good faith gesture uh for the president to give clemency and release him.

15 minutes, 36 seconds

So Israel is supposed to be our ally.

15 minutes, 38 seconds

And in this in this story, we've seen them threaten the president. We've seen this guy uh be spying on our country and

15 minutes, 45 seconds

giving them our information and uh now we're just having meetings with them. U I don't understand any of this. Uh we don't see this with any other foreign

15 minutes, 54 seconds

country that I'm aware of at least. Uh any final words, Kurt? You got any?

16 minutes

Well, Pard apparently seems to think that like he hates Jared Kushner and Steve Wickoff because he says they're too friendly with the Saudis who ordered our people to be killed on October 7th.

16 minutes, 10 seconds

So this maniac thinks the Saudis are responsible for October 7th. [laughter] The America first guy, right? Yeah.

16 minutes, 18 seconds

Right. None of this is America first. I know that. Um first in line to lick the ass crack of that wall as if it was some kind of Christian duty.

16 minutes, 28 seconds

And we're going to end on licking asses.

National Debt Dash | Motta 2028

POTUS 48

National Debt Dash

Debt, waste, and what my administration would fix

This mobile-friendly dashboard is built for voters, workers, veterans, farmers, and retirees who want plain numbers, official sources, and serious reform. America cannot protect Social Security, help family farms, and honor veterans by pretending waste does not exist.

Live U.S. National Debt (Treasury Debt to the Penny)

Fetching latest official Treasury data...

Loading...Debt held by the public

Loading...Intragovernmental holdings

Updates every 5 minutesSource: U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data

What the official numbers say

Treasury’s Debt to the Penny dataset reports the total outstanding public debt every day.
OMB historical tables show long-run federal receipts, outlays, deficits, and debt.
CBO’s 2026 outlook projects a $1.9 trillion deficit in 2026, rising to $3.1 trillion by 2036.
GAO says the federal government remains on an unsustainable long-term fiscal path.

Presidential comparisons are tricky because Congress writes budgets and fiscal years overlap administrations. Serious voters should look at trends, not just slogans.

How I judge presidents fairly

Not just spending: also look at growth, inflation, wars, recessions, interest rates, and whether spending built productive capacity.
Not just cuts: some cuts are fake savings that push costs into future years.
Not just promises: check Treasury, OMB, CBO, and GAO records.

Simple voter test

Did a president lower waste, improve audits, reduce fraud, modernize systems, and protect taxpayers without wrecking core obligations to seniors, veterans, and family agriculture?

DOGE 2.0: my taxpayer-first plan

Audit the Pentagon harder: the Department of Defense still struggles to achieve auditable financial statements. My administration will tie management bonuses and contract renewals to audit progress.
Hit improper payments: GAO says fraud and improper payments cost the government hundreds of billions annually. That is where serious savings start.
Retire obsolete systems: stop paying for broken software, duplicative platforms, and manual processes that waste staff time and taxpayer money.
Contract sunlight: publish cleaner, searchable dashboards for grants, contracts, earmarks, and change orders.
Defense dark-budget review: create a lawful classified-spending audit framework for inspectors general and congressional leadership. Outside voices such as Dr. Steven Greer raise concerns about “black budget” waste; my position is to investigate through legal oversight, not speculation.

Successes, failures, and my approach

The White House says Trump’s DOGE effort saved an estimated $215 billion. That deserves scrutiny and independent validation, but it also shows why voters want a government that treats waste like a real problem.

Elon Musk’s public brand around efficiency helped popularize the idea that bureaucracy can be redesigned. The weakness is overpromising. My approach is less theater, more audit trail: measurable savings, published benchmarks, and follow-through.

My rule: no gimmicks, no fake cuts, no starving essential services. Real savings should go toward protecting Social Security, helping veterans, strengthening family farms, and lowering pressure on taxpayers.

Where the savings should go

Social Security protection: focus first on waste reduction before asking seniors to sacrifice.
Veterans: redirect savings to VA access, mental health, rural care, and faster claims processing.
Farmers: target relief toward family farms, domestic food security, water resilience, and fair-market support.
Taxpayers: use efficiency savings to slow debt growth and reduce pressure for future tax hikes.
