- South Africa and the United States look like they are on a collision course.
On his first day in office, President Donald Trump froze nearly R10 billion in HIV prevention aid to South Africa. On 3 February, Trump published on Truth Social, "Terrible things are happening in South Africa ... they're confiscating land and actually they're doing things that are perhaps far worse than that." He promised to '(cut) off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed.'
Elon Musk, Trump’s DOGE Tzar, tweeted, "Why do you have openly racist ownership laws?"
There is one man who understands best the Trump view on South Africa, and has an insider track to the Trump administration. Joel Pollak is the South African-born American senior editor-at-large of Donald J Trump’s favourite newspaper, Breitbart News.
Howard Sackstein talks to Joel Pollak.

I'm retired at 47, This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to having over $65,000 biweekly profit, a honest partner and a good daughter full of love ❤
I can still remember the exact feeling on my biggest payday in the market. Imagine taking home $407k just from 12k initial deposit. For the newbies I'll encourage anyone to embrace copytrade as the best approach especially when you're a newbie
Huge! been trying to trade on my own for a while now but it isn't going well. Few weeks ago I lost about $10,000 in a particular trade. Can you at least advise me on what to do?
🙏*12k to 407k is significant increase. My first copytrade wasn't profitable. Please share who you copytrade *
I'm highly inspired. Please spill some sugar about the bi-weekly stuff you mentioned
I only copytrade one manager
Look forward to Joel becoming USA ambassador to S Africa !! 👍
My name is Roland, a non-Jewish South African, and stand by my Jewish South African Brothers, and Sisters, who I believe are the Vanguard protecting Our Free Word values, and way of life against the onslaught by what can only be described as the axis of evil. Please don't stop!
The ANC must be taken to the ICC for contravening the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
❤
Thanks Bro
Joel is spot on and measured. Thanks to the SA Jewish Report for making the interview possible.
Us South Africans are not all for the ANC. The ANC ran to the ICC without our permission.
There should have been a referendum
@@fionaparsons3856 CapeExit for all coloured, Indian and white people....high borders to be erected separating the Western Cape and the Eastern Cape.
They did some good for a change. The majority of humans around the globe agree and applaud South Africa.
Remember when they ignored the ICC with the arrest of Al-Basir?
@@Ntuthu-ZA Why don't you go and live in Gaza if you are so fond of terrorists?There is nothing "good"about supporting terrorists and the ANC's very bad decisions are costing us as a country."The majority of humans support this?"No!Absolutely not!Try again.
There is a RACIST BLACK SUPREMACIST gov in South Africa
There are over 140 race laws in South Africa designed to socially and economically exclude all minorities.
Absolutely yes. It's insane that the entire world is silent cause they believe south africa did worse things then every other country ? I duno , ita wrong. Minority here are so traumatized n programmed to this useless racist goverment we have almost forgotten our worth. 2% of whites pay towards the 7% of entire country paying this goverment
Anc IS FUNDED BY IRAN, THEY BAILED THEM OUT LAST YR ! ANC STANDS WITH PALESTINIANS N HAMAS .HELL ZUMA ,PREV ANC PRESIDENT IS SPONSERED BY RUSSIA.SOLD THE COUNTRY. STATE CAPTURE ETC ETC. I STAND WITH GOD,I STAND WITH ISREAL. I REFUSE TO BEND THE KNEE TO EVIL ,TERRORISTS AND ESP THE ANC AS THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE !
141 RASIST POLICIES AND NONE DEMOCRAT LAWS,
30 YEARS CORRUPTION
Racist like white supremacist Afri-forum. minorities who still own everything in south africa .
Your language is sensationalistic to say the least. Supremacist??If that were true far worse things would have happened to white people like, killings/torture, actual political/economic exclusion, forced removals.....wait that was Apartheid. Stop equating a concerted effort to bring black people to the feeding table of their own country which they have historically not been at for centuries. The "race laws" you're citing seek to PRIORITIZE black people and do not exclude white people. If you're standing in line and pregnant women, disabled & elderly people are brought to the front of the line, that's prioritization. We live in a democracy, we have a white people in government again. Stop peddling LIES
@craig81211 then why are there white people in many positions in business and government?
Is it that minorities are being excluded or is it that the majority is actually becoming a majority in government and business?
South Africa is an 80% black country.
If less than 80% of employees and CEO's are black then that's a legacy of apartheid.
The main thing here is that the ANC do NOT care about what is good for the country, only what is good for them directly.
And what about the ordinary people who are trapped here with no financial recourse to escape? None of this is our will.
It’s very unfortunate. The previous NP government pre ‘94 administration really sold out minorities with that 1992 referendum. You basically signed your sovereignty over to terrorists who care even less about you than their own people. It’s a tough situation. My advise would be to congregate yourselves into small communities like they have done in Oranja. State proof yourself as best you can and stay armed. Things are about to get worse in SA in many ways
Joel mention that we who can not afford to relocate or those who are not highly skilled...staying in South Africa will not be abandoned by the West...he said something will be worked out.....CapeExit is the only out for us.
Thank you Joel for your time. I think i speak for a lot of south africans when i say we support you. All the best.
Pollak is the right man for the job! Yes, Federalism is the answer.
Thousands of South Africans signed petitions against changing the name of Sandton Drive to that of a murderer . We wrre very angry about that and also angry about the ANCs (and other parties in government) support of antiIsrael countries such as Iran. We love, pray for and support Israel
Notably Robert Hersov said much of the money flowing into the ANC is from Iran via MTN.Time to boycott MTN?
DA seems to be useless!!!!!!
Pity, ne!
not seem they are...they ran on issues and did naught for us who put them there its became pretty clear now...
Not seems...is useless.
Not seems, they are in bed with raaamaaapooosaaa
They are. Their moment was too big when they joined the GNU. Now they just useless
ANC ... stop calling everyone 'comrade' ... geez
Comrade means a friend
But it's become a Communist term therefore unacceptable.
No it means "I'm my communist friend"
Comrade ≈ COMMUNIST . No freedom. No land. THE state owns everything and you will be happy.
I hope that Joel comes to SA. 😊
Thanks Joel for helping us
I'm from SA and I stand with the Jewish people 😊
Yup he also said before aid will be restored all 141 race based laws should be addressed...
Thank you so much for this interview - Joel would be the best medicine South Africa could ever ask for. I am praying that he gets appointed
Thank you. This discussion was most insightful and educational. So good to listen to people who know what they're talking about and talking facts! Thanx guys!
Not only Jewish people suffer in SA. Other minorities are also suffering
Ramaphosa should listen to business and different sectors of society and not to the breakaways od the ANC. He has sold his soul and SA
The one point I disagree with Mr Pollak on is that communism did indeed win the Cold War when it comes to South Africa. It's not merely the perception of the ANC, but the reality on the ground in South Africa and the greater SADC region. Yes, the revolution was relatively peaceful, but it still happened. The Bulwark against communism, the South African state, was purposefully destroyed and replaced by a communist regime which (mostly) fights within the confines of an incredibly hopeful and liberal Constitution. It can't help but feel like South Africa was one big social experiment.
Excellent interview. Thank you
I apologize on behalf of the South African people… I believe our government was for sale and Iran bought them. 😢
I pray blessings on Israel and all her people.
Love how All of You people never prove any of the things You accuse The ANC
We need a DOGE here. See where all our taxes go.
You need to change the misguided culture of the ruling class and its ilk first before anything will work.
Brilliant. Thank you
Valuable perspective. Thanks. Hope Mr Pollack will return in official capacity.
The West should band Ramaphosa from traveling to all European Countries as well as close all his international banking accounts....Thank you Joel for such interesting input about South Africa and know that we stand behind you and Mr. Trump and hope Ramaphosa and his cadres will be brought to there knees by the West apologising, begging and pleading the West for assistance...i speak for a lot of South Africans when i say that we look forward to the when the West breaks Ramaphosa down humbling himself.
Can’t wait for your arrival in SA !
Non-Jewish South African citizen here, supporting the Afrikaans community.
Thank you. Israel 🇮🇱. From SA Cape Town
Thank you to the South African Jewish community who continue to address the issue that threaten the Democracy of South Africa. I stand with you and with Israel. God bless.
Joel, please tell President Trump we love him and thank you for caring about us here God love and bless you and Joel🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
South Africa's ANC is following Zimbabwe's (Robert Mugabe) property laws (expropriation act), and property is NOT only land BUT includes home, possessions, assets and material goods
Joel Pollack presents the clearest voice of experience and wisdom on South African dynamics and will appropriately influence and direct US foreign towards us.
Great discussion
I am from South Africa and I love Israel
I was there and loved it, stupid ANC who knows nothing
Educational and very easy to listen to. Fascinating information.
Don’t forget the support from South Africans who are non-Jewish.
🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
It is time..we have waited 30 years for truth..and it's the independent journalists on utube channels that are opening things up. I watch left and right and then make up my own mind....I only watch real people talking..no bots. At 77 - i am Waking up bigtime- and sharing with discernment....
Great discussion. I hope Joel gets the job.
SA govern system so unGodly and we pray that God uses the USA Mega to rectify humanity for all.
- More than 140 Race laws in South-Africa ? More than in Apartheid era.
- Still waiting for our business compensation during lockdown. Who stole our money ?
- About 80 murders a day
- More than 4000 Farmers already murdered
- Bela Bill
- Expropriation without compensation on any sort of property
- extremely high property taxes
- Cut off of electricity on non payments of property tax during Lockdown ignoring the law of no payments during lockdown, intimidation and forced bribes to get electricity back on.
We pray to God to help us getting out of Pretoria, Gauteng and to relocate to the Cape province because the crime got totally out of hand 🙏
AND too many other things to mention. Water mafia, business mafias in jhb cbd, building mafia, training grounds for terrorists in South Africa. DRC soldiers abandoned with no exit plan now they're stranded. Just not good.
Thank you so much for this broadcast.
I am South African. I do not support what Palestinians did 7 October. I took the time to look at all the hamas footage I could get my hands on. How is that acceptable?
Ek stem 💯 saam.
What a fantastic interview and great insight - thank you
Please please America help us save our land. We had everything. And everything got plundered and destroyed, and the few salary earning people and businesses, are having to keep on paying for all the plundering.
Excluding minorities in the workforce on their skin with race laws
Isreal is forever ❤
please pay attention to the memorandum with thousands of signatures going to be delivered to the US embassy in Pretoria
I am a South African Christian who loves the Jewish people and loves and stand with Israel 🇮🇱.
Well done Howard
What a fantastic group of people you’ve brought together
Educated , articulate , insightful & very clever
Problem here is .. Jew, Afrikaner, Greek, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, French, English, in the eyes of the masses here in SA we are all "White"...... see this.. white.
Not only that, they see us as ‘settlers’ and a group that doesn’t belong here. The ANC and other radical left parties cultivate this. They also cultivate the belief among the masses that we today owe them something. Be it land or financial ‘redress’ as they call it. The ANC and other parties are actively cultivating this mentality amongst the masses. They don’t want a citizenry of forward thinking intelligent hard working people. They want victims that are dependent on the state and will continue voting for handouts and believing they’ve received a raw deal from minorities
Yes ….white …..the racist government hate us …pressure needs to be put on ANC…..get big business involved ….or are business just going to pull out if too difficult going forward , and leave us in the dust , stop the wishful thinking , same rhetoric over over over again
@Pieter-p7c That's only one of the problems in SA, another is that Zulus, Xhosa, Sothos et al are all Black....see....black.
Or, more plainly, apartheid in most of the heads has not disappeared, even though the role of the perpetrators and victims were reversed.
And we will win in the end🙏
@ hallo, in a sense you are correct, but ethnically there is a massive cultural line between them and they themselves don't really mix, or mingle often, out of traditional ethnicity. For me it is a factor of we all in South Africa, our call it 'fore fathers' from both the spectrum, after the 'English' walked away, never had the time or the opportunity to really have a good and proper way to handle this tribal diversity that was given or rather just dumped on the then, 'biggest enemy of England' the Boer - the historic timelines and manipulations are fascinating, and this is a direct impact on the current, and even more the thin line of almost somewhat similar cause and effect there is between the biblical 'Israel tribal time period, and our own, I pray in hope and faith, that this cup stay in the Hands of YHWH. Blessing and thanks for the chat.
Going against Israel was a very very bad idea. You can see how that is going for other countries.
The ANC doesn't have friends, they only have enemies.😮
Its a pity that the US representative isnt coming to Sona to show them why it would mean nothing to the US government to cancel Agoa why SA has bitten the hand of business and friendship
Because they hate whites and the West.
Welcome to South Africa. Plz. If the rest of the world can Follow America. South Africa would. Be Great again
From England I love the Jewish people
I am very interested in supporting
Cant wait for your appointment.
Love the idea that the USA may import the most talented Saffas
Don't forget Al-Bashir!! When he was in South Africa
Hi an ex Saffa in New Zealand here. Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and David Sacks all grew up in SA, they are all close to Trump. Trump has converted to Judaism, so you guys are okay and he is investigating the ANC
Trump's daughter converted, boet
he did not convert. His daughter did - married to Jared Kushner
Donald Trump hasn't converted to Judaism, his daughter Ivanka has! But he's certainly one of the greatest friends Israel has had in the Whitehouse! Keep praying that he makes all the right decisions, and that SA gov can see life with a bit more humility, and protect ALL its minorities who care for SA (obviously not those who are terrorists & genital mutilators!!! Those belong in jail or 6 foot under), and learn to work with the GNU which the populace voted into power... he's not solo anymore & should stop playing dictator games!!!
Trump is a non-denominational Christian.
SA ihas been fading away economically due to our affirmative action and BBBEE laws . Employing people and business contracts are not based on merit, but on race. 😢
This was super insightful. Thank you Joel
I agree with Joel 💯 percent, only the TRUTH, and everything he says,morally justified.
Ramaphoza must be forced to listen to GNU! No dictators wanted! Not alone anymore! Voters have spoken! Stop ICC case. Stop expropriation bill! He can't have his cake and eat it! Must learn to work with those who he wants handouts / help from!!!
Could we just change the focus to the ANC / EFF alliance, not SA?
ANC/DA
Thank you.
things i have heard good thing but im looking forward to this stream to get to know him if he really gets whats going on here in South Africa.
the DA has truly lost it.......people is very unhappy here
People who can afford houses🏠 here and whe loved Israel whe don't now were to go in our own country not safe 😢😢😢
For asylum in the USA we need to ensure that women and children go first... We need to honour the word "asylum". The means emergency exit.
Yes
❤ Johl, love his mother in law Rhoda Kadalie

well i dunno British was bretty brutal Joel thousends being in concentrarion camps scourched earth policy and then the other gift the British gave as the gift of segregation......
we still paying for that gift 31 years now much longer do we need to pay?
How Democracy and Morality has been hjacked in the USA !!!
ANC FAFO the ANC is in trouble now.
The ANC, EFF and MK have the same policies just the timeframes of Radical Economic Transformation differ and the personalities conflict. Attacking RET could get those parties leaders to overlook their personal differences. Maybe Trump could offer a carrot for greater use of sectional 235 of the Constitution to push for a form of federation
I stand by Israel ❤❤❤❤❤
Ok genocidal maniac, nobody asked you?
Boycott Disinvest Sanction (BDS) ANC/DA South Africa
