Michigan’s Senate Race Is Sitting on Top of a National Breakdown, and People Are Sick of Watching Their Tax Money Get Shipped Overseas While Their Own Lives Collapse
What El‑Sayed did in that interview is what almost no one in corporate media ever does: he refused to accept the baked‑in premise that Americans owe endless military financing to foreign governments while their own country is falling apart. And the moment he challenged that premise, Alex Wagner did exactly what the corporate press always does — she snapped back to the script. “So no funding to ensure the survival or future of a Jewish state?” That wasn’t a question. It was an ideological guardrail, a reminder of which topics are allowed to be interrogated and which ones must be treated as sacred.
Wagner’s job in that moment wasn’t journalism. It was enforcement. She took a legitimate, widely‑felt question — why is this automatically our responsibility? — and tried to funnel it back into the same narrow frame that has justified trillions in foreign military spending while American families drown. That’s not reporting. That’s protecting the architecture of U.S. foreign policy from democratic scrutiny.
And that’s exactly why people are furious. Because while Michigan is living through poisoned water, collapsing schools, medical bankruptcy, and generational economic abandonment, the media class still treats foreign military financing as some kind of unquestionable moral duty. They never ask why Congress can move billions to foreign governments overnight but can’t feed American children. They never ask why monarchies with offshore mansions deserve U.S. taxpayer money more than Detroit does. They never ask why the Pentagon gets a trillion dollars while Americans ration insulin.
El‑Sayed’s answer landed because it broke the spell. It said out loud what millions of Americans already know: this country has been hollowed out, and the political-media establishment is too invested in the status quo to admit it. Wagner’s reaction wasn’t surprising — it was predictable. Corporate media exists to make sure the public never questions the assumption that America must bankroll half the planet while its own citizens sleep in cars.
Michigan voters aren’t confused. They’re angry. And they’re done being told that their suffering is the price of maintaining a global empire that does nothing for them.
abdul has pointed out the exact problem with Democrats. they don't frame the argument the way he's suggesting because they don't want people to know that either.
Israel is a secular nation, governed by right wing Zionists. Zionism is an idelology, not a religion. Israel was originally granted a little over 1/2 of Palestine. About a year later the Israelis forcibly drove out more than 700,000 native Palestinians, destroying their homes, villages and farms, and claiming their land as a part of Israel.All in violation of the original mandate and international law. So, does Israel have a right to exist? No, it does not. It forfeited that by becoming a murderous rogue state, whose stated intention is regional dominance, an entity they describe as Greater Israel. They are murderers, liars and thieves, who are hiding behind the myth that they are a rigorous, Jewish nation. It is now a pariah among nations, governed by war criminals and guilty of genocide.
We are a country that claims to value liberty, freedom and justice. Should our taxes and military go to support the abomination that calls itself Israel. I think not.
She's naiive thinking Netanyahu isn't blackmailing our government into fighting their war. The Israeli army's training includes brainwashing them to believe all other humans are dogs. They rape, torture and kill indiscriminately for Israel. Has nothing to do with God.
Everything you're talking about here is delusional. You're not bankrolling anything except the Vatican bankster cartel.
And apparently you don't know that the term "America" is a bogus term made up by the Vatican Bank in order to screw everybody anally with no lubricant, along with thousands of other bogus terminologies they brainwash you with.
It's not our country, it never was, and it has no right to be such. This is the karma you get when you screw the indigenous out of what is rightfully theirs.
I’m all for enforcing the constitution when it comes to ICE and rounding people up. But to think what he said that illegal immigration is helpful to this country is something I disagree with. Are there some good people who have immigrated here and did it legally? Of course, but the overwhelming majority of immigrants sent to only White Christian countries has been illegals who are destroying those countries. And when you look at who is behind it you’ll routinely find jewish NGOs and that tells you all you need to know. Israel certainly doesn’t allow these people in because they know it destroys.
I care. Why is Israel always centered by people like you. Did you ask anything about Palestine? Stop believing the hasbara. People are really concerned about Israel. They are concerned about what Israel is doing in the name of Jews and Judaism. Polls show that.
The onus is on non zionist jews to educate their own not of that of dying gentiles who are in danger constantly due to the rabid fake entity of Israel and their ridiculous beliefs.
Also it's one of the many sins that god punishes jews for that's lending and banking. The greed.
Why should anyone need to ask about Palestine when Israel and zionism has already spread it's tenticles all over the world?
it takes a lot of money to protect corporations and oligarchs. they don't want to spend that money on making it better for everyone because they don't want to be equal with everyone, they want to be "better".

No money for Israel.

Yes, it is immoral. Israel abuses the help we send them. They are presently murderers and not entitled to our help!

because Americans are owned by The Shareholders… America is just a regional operating subsidiary for the World Economic Federation
Zionism is immoral

I thought pod save America is controlled opposition. you seem different Kathy.
17:50 Oh. No. You're not.
Is it? Idk. This is my first time seeing them. Does it matter though? We need to be aware what's out there. I'm more interested in what Al Sayed said.
I could care less about the podcaster.

Are you fucking kidding me? No one gets to say this shit to me about Palestine and Gaza. Get a clue
You get a clue. If you mean it then don't let yourself be used.
