BITCHUTE (PragerU) - Inside the Conservative Civil War: Ami Kozak on Groypers, Free Speech, and the Future of MAGA
Comedian, impressionist, and political commentator @amikozak_official joins Shabbos Kestenbaum to unpack the growing divide on the right over Israel, free speech, and the future of MAGA. From the viral Tucker Carlson–Mike Huckabee interview to the broader fight over how conservatives should talk about Israel, Kozak explains why the phrase “Israel has a right to exist” is often misunderstood—and why Israel is held to a standard no other country faces. They also discuss the debate over “platforming” controversial voices within the conservative movement, whether the right is developing its own version of cancel culture, and how online personalities are shaping internal ideological battles inside MAGA.

The U.S. lacks the "political will" and popular consensus to put boots on the ground in Iran after decades of "adventures" in the Middle East, Anduril Industries founder Palmer Luckey said on "The Axios Show." Why it matters: Three weeks into the Iran war, the U.S. is sending thousands of Marines to the region, with growing uncertainty about what actually comes next. Driving the news: "Our adventures in the Middle East of the last couple decades have robbed America of its ability to sustain a boots-on-the-ground campaign," said Luckey, whose $60 billion company builds everything from drones to missiles to electronic warfare tools. - "Maybe I'll be eating my words in a week, but I don't think that we have it in us." - "The Axios Show"…
AXIOS (Zachary Basu) - How America gamified its war with Iran
The U.S. government is treating strikes on Iran like a video game, inviting the country to watch as memes and montages subsume the human cost of war. Why it matters: The Trump administration didn't invent the gamification of war, nor did it invent wartime propaganda — a tool of statecraft as old as armed conflict itself. - But packaging live combat as social media content — scoring real kills in real time, and broadcasting it to an audience of millions — is a first in the history of American warfare. Zoom in: Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, much of the White House's online messaging has been gleefully trollish — a stream of videos splicing real missile strikes with footage from Call of Duty , Wii Sports and Hollywood…
