Michael Popak, Legal AF. The Republicans are now resorting to running anti-Semitic ads on YouTube and Facebook against Kamala Harris to try to peel away Muslim American votes for voting for her in November. They are targeting Doug Emhoff, who would be the first Jewish first man, already the second gentleman, and tying Kamala Harris to her positions on Israel and Gaza. The ads that are running on YouTube are being put forward by a new PAC, but run by the same old playbook people on MAGA. It's run by Future Coalition's PAC, which was formed only in July. Future Coalition's PAC is connected to Red Maverick Media, which runs a lot of MAGA advertising campaigns in favor of Donald Trump. Its bank that's listed on its website is Chain

Bridge Bank, which is also effectively a MAGA bank where a lot of Republican operatives have their bank accounts. Then it also leads back to an entity that it listed on its website until reporting happened called Protecting American Initiative. You have Future Coalition's PAC, Chain Bridge Bank, you've got Red Maverick Media, all pro-Trump, pro-MAGA, and then it links back to Protecting America Initiative, which is run by Richard Grinnell, who served in a number of senior administration positions for Donald Trump, and the former congressperson from New York, Lee Zeldin, who is also right-wing MAGA. What are they doing? They're trying to go after the 13% of the Muslim American population

that did a no-confidence vote for Joe Biden during the primary when he was running for re-election. They see that as a source of potential voting. So they're running ads, and we'll show a couple of stills from the ads here, in which they seem to be laudatory and celebratory about Kamala Harris. She stands for Israel. She stands against Hamas and pictures of Doug Emhoff at the Holocaust Museum in Israel, visiting there. So when you look at it, if you look at it through the eyes of a Democrat, you're like, well, that's a good ad.

That's an ad that you would run to show his faith and their support for people in Israel and for Israel as an entity. I mean, Donald Trump says out loud that Kamala Harris hates Israel. He said it during the debate. And he tried to convince people that the MAGA party is the friend of Israel and try to split and divide. But what he's really doing through these entities where he can have plausible deniability, but not really, as we can see in this hot take, to have future coalitions pack, do the dirty tricks that his campaign can't do directly. That's what we have here. We have this ecosystem of MAGA entities who all link back to a very small half a hand, two or three fingers on a handful of entities that are all connected to MAGA. Red Maverick Media, Chain Bridge Bank,

Protecting America Initiative. Then they form new entities. It's like a swindle. It's a shell game of entities that they formed just in July, but suddenly are pumping tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of YouTube ads, YouTube ads and Facebook ads and things on Google as a disinformation campaign aimed at American people. We don't have to worry about what the Iranians are doing with their disinformation campaign on Facebook and social media or the Russians even, because the enemy is within. We're talking about the Republicans and Donald Trump supporters who are leading this information campaign. Let's go after in a callous way, in a anti-Semitic way, let's go after the Muslim vote in Michigan and try to get it, this is dirty tricks 101. This is Lee Atwater. This is, you know, this is all of the ways the Republicans try to win a national election because they can't generally win it

unless they pit American against American and put each other at each other's throats. Have you heard about NAD+, it's a molecule in every cell of your body, and it's critical to aging well. And NAD plus helps keep us feeling youthful by promoting cellular energy, maintaining healthy DNA and using nutrients efficiently and supporting detoxification. Did you know NAD plus levels plummet by age and by age 50? Most people's NAD plus levels are only half of what they were when you were in your 20s. So falling NAD plus levels is a major, major reason why signs of aging starts to accelerate.

Luckily, science has discovered a way to boost your NAD plus levels up to 50% greater. It's called Qualia NAD plus, a groundbreaking supplement from Qualia. Many doctors and health experts over age 30 use Qualia NAD plus themselves and I'm proud to have them sponsor this podcast because they're pioneering research and life changing nutritional formulas are transforming how well people can age, something I am fighting

myself, of course. So NAD plus is a large molecule that struggles to be bio available. If you supplement it directly, that's why Qualia NAD plus supports NAD plus the right way by including ingredients called NAD plus precursors that your body can convert into NAD plus to boost your body's own NAD plus production up to 50%. So it's vegan, non-GMO gluten-free, the ingredients, there's things like niacin, niacinamide, and niagen,

also known as NR. These are the three of the most well-researched NAD-plus precursors, and all three are in Qualia NAD-plus to maximize your body's NAD Plus production. It's clinically tested and it's formulated by a doctor. Look, I clearly wanna feel and look decades younger than my actual age. I am in my late 50s, I'm a grandmother and that's why I'm staying at the cutting edge of aging research and boosting my NAD Plus levels with Qualia NAD Plus.

It's taking a huge part of how well I age and I'm appreciative of it that they are sponsoring this podcast and I am proud to absolutely have them be our sponsor.

Biden or didn't vote for Biden in the primary right before he made his decision not to run for reelection, we thought, well, that's interesting. We got to work on that community. To the Republicans, they were like, we can get two or three or 5% of the Muslim vote. Let's stick in their face all the ways that Kamala Harris is linked back to her husband's Jewish faith and into Israel. That ought to do it. And that's what they're doing.

But is that the America we want to live in? Do we want to live in an America where blatantly anti-Semitic ads get run on social media by one party against the other? Republicans believe that's the way to the White House. When they're not busy generating through generative AI of memes about Donald Trump protecting cats and dogs, there's actually an article that's run right now, one of the national corporate media websites that says, are cat memes going to win the election? Is that where we're at now? Is that

where the American people are at right now? We're so fatigued and tired of an actual policy debate, a debate about values, a debate about constitutional norms and the rule of law that now we're just so exhausted, or at least on the Republican side, and they are, they're just so exhausted that all they can use their mental capacity for is to look at pictures of cats, dogs, and Donald Trump. Is that where we're at? Is that why Donald Trump, during the debate, decided that he was gonna start within the first half hour

talking about cat and dog memes and lies about the Haitian community in Ohio? I mean, we know the reason that Donald Trump spent a considerable amount of time not talking about policy, but talking about cats and dogs being eaten by Haitians because of democratic policies because his main debate advisor was Laura Loomer, the all right wing influencer. He's got like, I don't know, a million ex-foers, who not only communes and telepathically communicates with Donald Trump, but sits on the plane and helps prepare him for the debate. She's the one that sent out two major memes and started the trend.

One, that cats and dogs are under – pets are under attack in Ohio because of Kamala Harris and the Biden administration's policies. The only way you can protect your pet is to vote Republican. That came right out of Laura Loomer. She put that bug and that ear worm, that brain worm directly in Donald Trump's ear, and then he used it during the debate. We saw a direct transfer of knowledge from Laura Loomer to Donald Trump in a moment of crisis for him on the debate stage. Is that what we're down to? We're down to blatantly anti-Semitic ads trying to move the needle of the electorate and cat memes and made up stories that even the vice presidential candidate leans into as payback because he didn't like the memes that were out there about him screwing a couch that came out of hillbilly elegy. At least that was

the theory. It's just remarkable to me that one party has so hollowed out its soul, or as Judge Ludwig told me during an interview recently, the un-aling of America is before us at the hands of the Republican Party. No morals, no ethics. Could you run an ad like that? Could it be effective? Maybe. Is that how you want to win a national election? Is that how you want to bring the country together and unite them? As you stand on the debate stage and tell people that you're going to be the uniter, although Donald Trump never said that during the debate stage and tell people that you're going to be the uniter. Although Donald Trump never said that during the debate. Donald Trump never once said, I'm running for you. I'm going to make your life better. And I'm the uniter, not the divider, or words that affect. He never said that. Kamala Harris said it because she

believes it. And that's every fiber of her being. And she will bring that forward when she's president of the United States. Think about that when you're making the decision about who to vote for. Do you want to vote for a party that's now left with running cat memes and attacking somebody's ethnicity and religion? I mean, I never thought in 2024 I'd be talking about anti-Semitic ads being run by the Republican Party. A party where there's people in that party and I know them that believe that the Republican Party supports Israel. You can't have it both ways. You can't be the two faces of Janus. You can't say on one hand, I'm a defender of Israel and on the other hand, run anti-Semitic ads to try to get yourself elected. The end does not justify the means.

We got to continue to follow everything that happens on the Republican side and how their dirty tricks are being used against the American people. In a disinformation campaign that the Russians would envy, that the Iranians envy, but it's being generated by MAGA, and we're calling it out. Future coalitions PAC, we see you. Red Maverick Media, we see you. Chain Bridge Bank, we see you. Protecting America's Initiative PAC, we see you.
