You're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. Welcome to TYT, folks. I'm your host, Anna Kasparian, Solo Hour. Jank Uighur will be joining me in the second hour before he gets to his revolution in the bonus segment. Well, we've got such a great show ahead for you guys today.

any day that we get to kind of dive into history in order to explain what's happening today, I get super excited. And believe it or not, the story that I'm most excited about has to do with something Hillary Clinton said of all people. Now, I don't agree with what she said, but that makes the segment even better. So I'll be talking about her comments at a conference recently. And well, the way that Hillary Clinton as a human being actually devolved. And I'll provide some evidence of that. We're also going to kind of jump into what's transpiring with our current economic situation here in the United States and what Trump has to say about it.

Remember, one of the main reasons why he won the popular vote is because he said that he was going to be the cop that stops it. He's going to be the one that ends inflation. But a lot of Americans are leaning into credit cards in order to make ends meet. So we'll give you some stats on that. But also, little Marco, little Marco Rubio, our secretary of state has some thoughts on extremist ideology and how it seeks to take over our country. It's really interesting who he's pointing fingers at. So we'll talk about that. Anyway, a lot to get to. I don't want to waste any time. So why don't we start off with this? The word affordability is a Democrat scam. Look at this in January. Donald Trump's not a president of not too bad, not too great. It was at minus one point right within the margin of error breaking

even. But look at this now. Negative 24 points way, way down. We're talking about a drop of over 20 points in the wrong direction for the president of United States. President Donald Trump is taking an absolute nosedive in the polls. And as much as he wants to believe that the word affordability is nothing but a Democrat hoax, the fact of the matter is Democrats and Republicans in this country alike are really struggling with the current economic situation here in the U.S., especially as the holidays are upon us. People are buying gifts. And later in this segment, I'm going to tell you just how devastating things are when it has to do with consumer debt and these buy now pay later services. Now, let's get to some of these details because

the Democrat scam known as affordability is a big reason why Trump is taking that nose dive in the polls. And ironically, just a few days ago, Trump actually called himself, this is hilarious, the affordability president. So today, affordability is a Democrat hoax. But just a few days ago, he called himself the affordability president. Okay. So he, delusionally, if you ask me, wrote on truth social, because I have invovaled, favored nation's status for the United States of America, drug prices are falling at levels never seen before, 500%, 600%, 700%, and more. So you heard it here, folks, when you go pick up your prescription drugs at the pharmacy,

they're actually going to give you money. You don't have to pay anything. They're going to give you money. Obviously, that is not true. Now, there's a small area where I will give Trump a time tiny, tiny bit of credit. Hold on for that, but here's some more details. So the, he also writes that this is a revolution in medicine, the biggest and most important event ever. He's our president, everybody. If this story is properly told, we should win the midterm elections in record numbers. I am the affordability president.

Talk loudly and proudly, President D.J.T. Now, look, the thing about lying to the American people is that if you're sophisticated enough, you can definitely manipulate people. Not everybody, but some people will be easily manipulated because they operate based on tribal politics. They want to root for their guy. And, you know, our media really doesn't do a great job digging into the numbers, the stats, and what the reality is on the ground.

But when it comes to the economy and Americans' pocketbooks, you're going to be able to, you You better believe they know what's going on, right? Because we see the prices at the grocery stores. We know how much debt we're in because we're not making enough of a living in order to live off those wages. We have to charge things on credit cards. Everyone knows what the economic situation is on the ground here in the United States. The housing crisis is still very much a crisis. It is nearly impossible for young families to purchase a home, which was one of the only ways that Americans were able to build wealth in this country. That opportunity snatched away, and there hasn't really been any actual solutions, even proposed or presented

by the Trump administration. So this is the one area in which Trump's lies, his fibs, his nonsense, and he is a great marketer. He knows how to market himself. But it's not going to save him in this specific scenario, because the economy touches all of us. There's no escape from it. So let's get to some more details about what's happening here, because Trump thinks that Americans are stupid, if you ask me. I mean, lying to our faces about what we're experiencing with the economy and thinking we're going to believe it means he thinks we're stupid. But obviously we're not. Now, putting that aside, the Trump administration is working, at least he claims, to achieve what's known as favored nation's status for the United States. Now, that is important,

and I'll explain what that is. So the idea behind this designation is that it would prevent pharmaceutical companies from price gouging Americans compared to what other developed nations are paying for the exact same drugs. So I'll give you a specific example. One brand of asthma inhaler, for example, runs $248 per 30 puffs in the U.S. and just $49 in France. It's quite a disparity. And this has been going on for a very, very long period of time. And so Trump has been negotiating with pharmaceutical companies to lower drug prices for Americans, which let me be clear, is a good thing. That is a good thing, but there is a catch. Now, if he was able to rein in these pharmaceutical drug companies that rely on our taxpayer dollars for their research and

development and essentially force them to charge us what other nations are being charged, that's great. But there's an added layer to this that I don't think is great. Now, what am I talking about? basically he is trying to get the pharmaceutical companies to charge other developed nations more for their pharmaceutical drugs. So let's get to the details there. So the Trump administration has promised pharmaceutical companies that they will push to increase drug prices in other countries. And so far they have succeeded at least in one case.

And I'm sorry to all of our friends over in the UK, but you guys are the victims here. So basically the UK government will raise the net price it pays for new patented medicines by 25% and revamp a tax program to ease the burden on drug companies. So as I was reading that at first, I was like, oh, ease the burden on citizens in the UK because now they're going to have to pay 25% more for the drugs. No, no, no. The pharmaceutical companies get to charge people in the U.K. more as much as 25%. And on top of that, the U.K. is supposed to agree to rewrite their tax code, I guess, in a way that would be even more beneficial to the pharmaceutical companies. Look, I care about America first.

I really do. But I also do not want other people to suffer simply because they're not in our country. They shouldn't be price gouged for pharmaceutical drugs either. So I take issue with that for sure. And remember, I had an interview on the show in which an expert that's been studying this mentioned, you know, the whole favored nation's scam really is a scam because what Trump is actually trying to do is get the price of pharmaceutical drugs in other countries to go up.

And then we're still paying a lot for pharmaceutical drugs. We're still being price gouged. The only differences, all the other countries are also being price gouged. That doesn't really make me feel better. You know what I'm saying? So let's get to the overall economic situation because overall, things aren't so great for Americans here. They're struggling to afford more than just their medical expenses. So a new Washington Post ABC Ipsos poll found that a majority of Americans say that they're spending more on groceries and utilities than they were a year ago.

And Americans were not happy a year ago under Biden. Remember, his economy was something that essentially led to a lot of backlash toward the Biden administration. But things are clearly, according to what people are saying in these polls, even worse now. So also, there's a recent NBC news poll that found that only 30% of voters believe that Trump has lived up to their expectations for tackling inflation and the cost of living. And here are some alarming statistics from Money Lion, which surveyed Americans to say, what their debt situation looks like. And I knew this was going to be bad because consumer debt just keeps breaking records

year after year. That is not good news. So 84% of Americans plan to use credit cards to manage holiday spending and 30% plan to use buy now, pay later. Buy now pay later is a growing issue because it makes it so easy for people to just agree and go into debt.

for all sorts of consumer items. And I just, you know, if you are ever tempted to do it, really ask yourself, do I need the item that I'm thinking about buying now and going into debt for it? That's what it really is. It's just debt, right? Buy now, pay later. They're not doing you a favor. They're doing themselves a favor.

They're making money off of you by using that service.

Price picks, it's good to be right. Now, 25% of Americans are planning to take an extra job to help supplement their income for the holidays, including 44% of Gen Z and 34% of millennials. Now, Vice President J.D. Vance appears to be more aware and a little more caring about this issue than Donald Trump has been. At least that's what his messaging would indicate. You know, on one hand, you have Trump arguing that this is a Democrat, this is a Democrat hoax. J.D. Vance is like, maybe I don't go in that direction. Maybe I at least acknowledge the pain that Americans are experiencing. Now, he doesn't really offer any solutions. for it, but he does say, we need to focus on the home front.

Elaborate on that a little, JD. What do you mean we need to focus on the home front? Do you mean maybe we stop going into more debt to provide Israel with weapons to steal land from various Middle Eastern countries and commit atrocities against the Palestinian people? Is that what you're referring to? Let me continue. Here's what else he says. The president has done a lot that has already paid off in lower interest rates.

rates and lower inflation, we are experiencing the beginning stages of stagflation. Unemployment is increasing and you have the Federal Reserve, you know, lowering interest rates. It hasn't been a massive cut in interest rates, but we all know what happens if the Federal Reserve cuts the interest rates preemptively or too soon. That is going to heat up the economy even more. So right now, we have rising unemployment, but we have. also have rising inflation. Inflation in the last reports is at 3%, which isn't good. And the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates didn't really help with the inflationary situation.

So saying that Trump has already taken action, I mean, all he's done is bully Jerome Powell into lowering interest rates. And it didn't work because Americans are still struggling. So, you know, look, I guess better attempt at lying to the American people compared to Trump. He didn't even try. J.D. Vance is at least trying, so I guess a for effort, although he's not being completely honest here. Here's more. It goes on about how we inherited a disaster from Joe Biden, and Rome wasn't built in a day. Okay, so we're going to go ahead and blame others for the failures of our administration. We're going to keep on working to make a decent life affordable in this country. And that's the metric by which will ultimately be judged in 2026 and beyond. How about

banning private equity firms and foreign interests from buying up residential real estate? The only people who should be allowed to buy homes in America at this moment, as we have a severe housing shortage, should be Americans. But on top of that, what is the Trump administration doing to spur more construction for housing? I haven't seen anything on that at all. Trump is too busy with his crypto schemes and his various business deals with Saudis and other various countries, the Qataris, that's what Trump is up to. Trump is, he's getting the bag. Okay, we are not getting the bag as the American people.

And really, to say that there's like this intense focus on improving the economic situation for Americans, it's just, it's laughable. and it's honestly insulting. Now, he also says, or last week he posted, that after four years of house prices doubling and in some areas tripling, many young people feel priced out of the American dream of homeownership. Wow, congratulations for realizing that. I mean, are you going to do anything about it?

Like, what are you going to do about it? Nothing? Oh, you're just going to acknowledge that it's a problem. Okay. And that's one thing that I really want to emphasize with this story and with anything having to do with the political horse race, just because a politician simply acknowledges reality should not be like the gold standard of who you should support politically. Okay, you have identified the problem. Congratulations, a five-year-old at this point can do that. What are you going to do about it?

And by the way, this is a criticism I have for prominent political figures on both sides of the political aisle. Leading up to the 2024 election, I was making arguments like this about the Biden administration when they were telling all of us that the economy was fantastic. Oh, GDP, fantastic. The stock market, fantastic. I don't care. For me, what matters is, are people earning decent wages? Are they able to buy a home? Are they able to get married? Are they able to afford having kids if they choose to have kids? These are the real questions we should be asking. Are they able to, you know, work a full-time job 40 hours a week, not have to take on a second job and make ends meet? Because remember, for all of the grief that SNAP recipients have

been getting recently, upward of 60% of them literally work full-time jobs. So we are subsidizing corporations that are not paying them a living wage in this country. We should be more upset about that as opposed to, you know, the thought of our fellow Americans needing a public service like SNAP in order to feed themselves and their families. So there are two big questions here. Will the Trump administration take decisive action to lower prices? And by the way, what would that look like? Harry Enton thinks the answer is no and here's why. How does this compare to other presidents in their second term at this point in time? Yeah, okay. So, So, you know, this is one of these great examples where I kind of run out of room on the slide.

So I just run out of room on the slide. So I just put up the Republican presidents. But look, the only one who's worse for me, either among Republicans or Democrats at this point, a second term, is Richard Nixon. Of course, Richard Nixon had to wave Adios amigos goodbye less than a year after this poll was taken. He was at minus 36 points. Trump at minus 24 points. Anywhere you look, this is the second worst for a president of either party at this point in their second term, dating all the way back since the 1940s.

Were there any presidents who saw their net approval ratings rise by more than five points? Well, guess what, Sarah Seider? You go all the way back since Harry S. Truman. Zero out of eight times that the president's net approval rating rise by over five points. And, of course, Donald Trump right now on Gallup, minus 24 points. He's in the minus T and the corner of the average. If he does not see a rise of more than five points, See you later that Republican majority.

It has never happened. So it would be incredibly challenging for President Trump to increase his poll numbers. But if he even wanted to try, I think the first step he could take is maybe stop hobnobbing with former al-Qaeda terrorists and butchers from Saudi Arabia over at the Oval. Maybe spend your free time, if you have any, on your various crypto schemes and business deals with foreign countries. Maybe spare a minute or two to actually think about what's happening here on the ground and how the United States is suffering under an inflationary period, an economic situation in which jobs are being totally destroyed by, you know, AI technology and by corporations. you know, kind of putting the cart before the horse and firing a bunch of people before AI is even developed enough to do the job that human beings can do. But nonetheless, he just, he seems aloof, okay? He seems like he doesn't really care that much. And then when anyone dares to bring up how this is hurting him in the polls, he lashes out like a child. And I'm just sick of being governed by 80-year-old children, okay? I'm sick of being lied to and I'm sick of watching the people of this country get left behind by the political elite who use their positions of power to enrich themselves, to build

businesses for themselves, to engage in insider training. I'm sick of it. And I don't care what their party affiliation is. We have been let down again and again and again. And I'm just sick of being lied to. So when they're lying to your face, recognize it and push back because we deserve better than this. All right, we got to take a break. When we come back, we'll move on to some other news, including, well, just how embarrassing Hillary Clinton is. Maybe go back for a hike in the woods. We'll be right back.

Welcome back to the show, everyone. I'm your host, Anna Kasparian. And, well, someone is making news yet again when she should be hiking over in the woods. consoling herself over how much of a loser she really is. If you don't know who I'm talking about, take a look at this. More than 50% of young people in America get their news from social media. They are seeing short form videos, some of them totally made up, some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing, and that's where they get their information. Well, the unpopular former presidential candidate who lost both bids for the White House and blamed everyone from the deplorables to Russia for it thinks the youths are too stupid to realize how great Israel really is.

That's what she was saying at some conference she was at recently. And there is more from this embarrassing commentary. Why don't we take a look at that? And then we'll look at reality since Hillary Clinton pretends like she cares about it. They were getting their information from social media, particularly TikTok. That is where they were learning about what happened on October 7th, what happened in the, you know, days, weeks, and months to follow. That's a serious problem. It's a serious problem for democracy, whether it's Israel, the United States, and it's a serious problem for our young people.

When you would try to talk to them to engage in some kind of reasonable discussion, it was very difficult because they did not know history. They had very little context. And what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided. It was pure propaganda. And so when you think about how to tell Israel's story, and it's important, it's not just looking internally, it's looking externally and particularly looking at young people because, you know, it's not just the usual suspects, it is a lot of young Jewish Americans who don't know the history and don't understand. Oh, those are bad Jews. They're bad Jews because they don't believe the nonsense propaganda coming from a genocidal state that they disagree with. And that would be the foreign nation

state of Israel. Those individuals, by the way, that Shia just decided to excoriate because they're not the proper type of Jews are heroes. They're amazing people because for all the grief that we hear at TYT might get for being as critical of Israel as we are, I know, and I have seen how Jews in this country are treated by members of their own families, if they dare speak out against what Netanyahu and the Israeli government has been up to, not just over the last two years, but for decades now. So she says, you know, we got to put things into context. You know, I'm going to go ahead and still whine about TikTok, even though I know that Larry Ellison, the single largest donor to the IDF, purchased TikTok and has been engaged in a purge of anyone on

that platform that dares speak out against Israel, but I'm still going to whine about TikTok, and I'm going to continue to pretend as though the real problem here is misinformation and propaganda. These kids just don't know what they're doing. And she's really salty about the fact that, shockingly, she's teaching a course at Columbia, which reinforces the notion that colleges have become a scam, honestly. But she's teaching a course over at Columbia. And some of the students are asking her difficult questions. And what do you do when you were a pathetic politician who started off with correct opinions on what's happening in the Middle East? And then you got shellacked by the Israel lobby and then suddenly changed your mind, especially when you started

running for office. So let's talk a little bit about history. Hillary Clinton purports to like it. I love history. So one of my favorite books, and I make no secret about it, is the Israel lobby, which was written by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt. And in it, it really does talk about just as relevant today as it was when it was written in the early aughts. It's really about just how influential these lobbying groups really are. And they do cover Hillary Clinton and how she devolved as a human being as a result of the Israel lobby. So this is an excerpt from the book. Let's go ahead and read it.

Hillary Clinton, whose support for Palestinian statehood in 1998 and public embrace of Suha Arafat, wife of Yasser Arafat in 1999, provoked strong criticism from groups in the Israel lobby. So her big offense, if you're wondering what she said that upset them so much. And remember, this is as the Oslo Accord negotiations are taking place. She said at the time that it would be in the long-term interest of peace in the Middle East for there to be a state of Palestine, a functioning modern state that is on the same footing as other states, which I think is probably the least controversial thing I've heard in a long time from her mouth. But she didn't say that today. said that back in the 1990s. Then she gets the backlash from the Israel lobby. And then suddenly

Clinton became an ardent defender of Israel once she began running for office herself. And she now gets strong backing, including financial support from pro-Israel organizations and individuals. After Clinton appeared at a pro-Israel rally in July of 2006 and expressed strong support for Israel's highly destructive war against Lebanon, Helen Friedman, executive director of the hardline Americans for a Safe Israel, declared, I thought her remarks were very good, especially in light of her history. And we can't forget her kiss to Suha. So I want to make it very clear that Hillary Clinton is the political version of a prostitute. Her values don't exist.

I don't even know what her values are because everything can be bought with Hillary Clinton. I want to run for a Senate seat. So I'm going to go from advocating for a Palestinian state to getting down on my knees and pleasuring the Israel lobby. So they give me the money that I want to run for office. And on top of that, I don't have to worry about them attacking me and making it a little more difficult for me to win the election. That's who Hillary Clinton is. Does she like that history? That's not a TikTok video.

That's real life. Let's give you a little more real life here. So let's see what Israel has been up to because, look, she's right. I want to make sure that people are fully informed about what Israel is up to. I don't want them to simply rely on short form videos on social media. So let me add to it by giving you a lengthier argument and some news. about what's been going on lately. So let's start with the torture of Palestinian hostages and the individuals that they have

detained over at Israel without any charges, any trial, meaning they are hostages. So with that in mind, let's take a look. So a Palestinian photojournalist was killed by an Israeli drone attack in Conunis, Southern Gaza on Tuesday as the IDF. Israel has now returned 195 bodies as part of the ceasefire deal. They are so badly decomposed that just a quarter have been identified. A grisly and heart-rending job for the local forensics team. With all Gaza's specialist labs destroyed by war, they must do the job by hand.

Doctors say many of the bodies bear signs of torture, abuse and execution. This man died blindfolded, another with his hands bound behind his back. There was decomposition in the bodies. There were also gunshots on the chest and head, in addition to fractures in the skull and legs. Nida has found her father's body. She can't believe what she's seeing. The bodies were mutilated and showed clear signs of torture, including my father, whose arms were amputated with torture marks on his legs. He was in terrible condition.

So I had to identify him from his clothes, his teeth, and an old scar on his forehead. Imagine witnessing a parent's corpse looking like that, knowing that it's been tortured like that. And that's just one anecdote, one story, one woman who had to witness her father's body in that type of condition. Now there are literal teenagers, Palestinian teenagers who have experienced the torture, They've seen the torture firsthand, and the 15-year-old that you're about to hear from in this PBS News Hour piece. It's not a TikTok video, Hillary. It's not a TikTok video. He's going to explain how he was not only arrested three separate times without charge.

While he was detained, he saw horrors that he's about to describe. Take a look at that. Adel, whose name we've changed to protect his identity, is just 15. He's been arrested three times since he was 13 and last year was shot in the legs by an Israeli soldier needing multiple surgeries. He says after October 7th, the child managers meant to monitor their treatment in jail were dismissed and new guards raided their cells nightly. They took us out to the yard and went into the cells where they took all our clothes and left nothing. Later, they started invading the adult department where they beat and tortured them. One prisoner was sick and the other prisoners started calling for a doctor to help him.

But the guards came inside and starting hitting him to wake him up. Instead of getting a doctor, they beat him up. He died. Yeah, modern day Nazis. Modern day Nazis. Oh, was that offensive? Let me keep going then. So that was reporting from last month.

But now there's been a new UN report in regard to torture that's being used as a weapon of war by the Israelis. This is one of the headlines covering it. Israel has de facto state policy of organized torture, says UN report. Committee highlights allegations including dog attacks and sexual violence, which we have actually seen on surveillance footage, raising concern about impunity for war crimes. Well, Israel has always been met with impunity, because unfortunately, Israel has complete control of the U.S. government, and as a result, the U.S. government continues to provide cover for Israel's war crimes at the U.N., especially when there are U.N. Security Council votes to sanction Israel, and the U.S. immediately

comes in and vetoes it. So let's get into the details of this report and what it indicates. And is this a lengthy enough video for Hillary Clinton, or is this also considered short-form TikTok misinformation? So the report, the UN Committee on Torture expressed deep concern over allegations of repeated severe beatings, dog attacks, electrocution, waterboarding, use of prolonged stress positions. and sexual violence. The report also said that Palestinian detainees were humiliated by being made to act like animals or being urinated on were systematically denied medical care and subject to excessive use of restraints in some cases resulting in amputation.

Now, let me ask you guys something. I'm genuinely curious. You know, those accounts like stop antisemitism.com think that people like Ms. Rachel are causing hatred in this country. Oh, the anti-Semitism is as a result of people like Ms. Rachel humanizing Palestinian children who have lost their limbs as a result of Israel's atrocities in Gaza. I would argue, though, that maybe Israel's actions are the problem here. Just curious what you all think, because you read more details about this, about this report, and what human rights activists in Israel have to say, and I just, how do you deny it? And this is why every time I find myself on a debate with some pro-Israel person, these days it's usually a two,

2 v.1 situation as it was today on Pierce Morgan's show. I just love it. I love it. They always have like two or three pro-Israel people and then me. And I still crush them. You want to know why? I'm not some amazing debater. I'm not a genius. There's nothing special about me at all. I just care about the truth. And when you have the truth on your side, your debate skills don't matter. And they just keep repeating and regurgitating the exact same ridiculous arguments. Their debate muscle has totally atrophied. They're fatigue. They don't know what to do. Because for the longest time, due to the fact that our media here would serve as gatekeepers protecting the Israelis and their narrative, they've never really had to be confronted with actual arguments. Now that they are,

they never have a response other than just denying it or blaming Hamas. It's really amazing stuff. So this part of the report was, I mean, you know, you know that it was happening. You know that it's still happening, but it's still hard to read about it. So the UN report draws attention to the high proportion of children who are currently detained without charge or on remand. Noting the age of criminal responsibility imposed by Israel is 12 years old, 12, and that children younger than 12 have also been detained. It's sick. This is so sick.

And of course, people have died. The report reveals that 75 Palestinians have died in detainment over the last two years of this genocide. And it also found the death toll to be abnormally high and appears to have exclusively affected the Palestinian detainee population. It notes that to date, no state officials have been held responsible or accountable for such death. deaths. And that's one of the greatest injustices. I mean, when you see that, when you see that these individuals who are carrying out such vile acts are met with impunity, it makes you want to give up, but you can't give up. You can't. Because allowing this to stand, being an ally to a country that carries this out is not a good look for America, for our country, for the American people.

And I know that most Americans are waking up to this. And that's what has people like Hillary Clinton so upset. So that's what gives me a little bit of hope. Because as you read these devastating stories and in my darkest moments when I feel like there is no hope, there's never going to be justice, let's move on, I just remember the fact that there are Americans across the political spectrum who are finally waking up to what's going on here. So Israel also slaughtered yet another journalist in Gaza. By the way, they're still not allowing international journalists into the Gaza Strip to do independent reporting. The only journalists who are allowed in are absolute suckers who are being led by IDF soldiers. But nonetheless, they have killed a photojournalist by the name of Mahmoud Wadi, whose life was robbed from him by IDF soldiers carrying out a drone strike on his tent.

DropSight news reports that Wadi was known for his drone footage on social media that showed everyone the extent of the destruction in the Gaza Strip. So clearly the Israelis were not happy about that. And he also showed just the massive tent encampments that have taken over Gaza as a result of nearly every residential building being destroyed. And I want you to hear from Dave DeCamp from anti-word.com, kind of present. presenting this story and giving you more details about it. Take a look. So a Palestinian photojournalist was killed by an Israeli drone attack in Con Yunus, southern Gaza on Tuesday as the IDF continues to violate the U.S.-backed ceasefire deal. Mahmoud Wadi was known for his drone photography, and he was killed while in an area

outside of the Israeli-controlled side of the yellow line. Medical sources told Turkey's Anadolu agency, and that's what family members said as well. His father must have been nearby. He described what it felt like when the strike hit his tent. And you see this picture here from his funeral. He has the press vest. So this is Wadi's father, Isam. He told Anadolu, quote,

I never expected to lose Mahmood, who was not just my son but a friend as he grew up in a photography studio. Mahmood was photographing in a safe area, but the Israelis respect and No pledges or promises, their entire life is treachery and deceit. Imagine witnessing your own son getting killed by a drone strike in his tent. The Israeli military has killed over 260 journalists and media workers in Gaza over the past two years in what is the deadliest conflict, genocide, for journalists in modern history. And that's not TikTok, Hillary. Again, that's real life. In addition to that, the Associated Press reported that the Israeli military killed another Palestinian near the Borgie or near a refugee camp in central Gaza.

Okay, so there is no ceasefire. They just wanted us to stop talking about it. And I'm not going to do that. We're going to keep talking about it and we're going to keep covering these atrocities. And Larry Ellison can go ahead and buy TikTok. But the fact of the matter is you can't. really change people's minds by trying to silence them and trying to silence people they trust to do accurate reporting on what's happening right now. And I'll just end on one more, one more data point because I don't want this to be memory hold. Remember when Israeli publications obtained leaked IDF data about the casualties in Gaza? If you do remember, great. If you don't, Let me remind you, Israeli army database suggests at least 83% of Gaza dead were civilians. That was reported by 972 magazine. That's an Israeli paper. Classified intelligence for May reveals Israel believed it had killed some 8,900 militants in its attacks on Gaza,

indicating a portion of civilian slaughter with few parallels in modern warfare, a joint investigation fines. Hillary Clinton is a depraved, pathetic, sad individual. She lost both presidential bids because people can see through her. One of the most shameful things I've ever done is allow myself to cast a ballot for her in 2016 when I didn't really need to. Living in California, why would I vote for that person? I'm being nice here. I want to use other words, but I won't. I allowed myself to be so afraid of Trump that I cast a ballot for Hillary Clinton when I didn't need to. And I feel a lot of shame about that.

Anyway, let's take a break. When we come back, we'll check in on Little Marco. We've got a lot more news to get to. Come right back.

The notion that somehow radical Islam would be

comfortable with simply controlling some province in Iraq or Syria is just not borne out by history. Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate. They want to expand. It is a it is a revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State is making that argument about radical Islam, as we are all witnessing Israel annex land from Syria, from Gaza, from the West Bank, Lebanon, what is he even talking about? But guys, see, this is how the United States government, which is occupied by the Israeli government works. They need the squirrel to distract you

from the actual bad actor here. And of course, the punching bag that we, the United States, have historically funded and propped up is radical Islamists. Now, what do I mean when I say we prop up and fund? Oh, let's take you for a little ride. Let's take you for a little ride. Because there were extremists in the White House not too long ago. Who am I talking about?

This guy. His name used to be Mohamed al-Jalani. and there used to be a $10 million bounty on his head by the United States because he was an al-Qaeda terrorist who was trying to kill our soldiers in Iraq. But if I remember correctly, we were not only arming him and his group in Syria in an effort to oust Bashar al-Assad, we're now totally helping him launder his reputation as if he wasn't one of the extremists who was trying to kill Americans in Iraq. It's incredible. Now, Alshara is the new leader of Syria, and Trump sure does love his extremists. Take a look.

How did you find a Syrian president? Right. Right. I think very good. Young, attractive guy, tough guy, you know, a strong pass, a strong past fighter. But he's got a real shot at Pulling it again. Strong attractive guy. Like Trump is such a gooner. Like he, even when he sees a hot guy in his mind, I don't think I'll show him. No, not for me. It's for other people, for Trump apparently.

Can't help himself from commenting on his good looks. I know that we're supposed to just buy that he's, oh, he's a moderate now. I mean, it was all about killing American soldiers not too long ago. and his group of terrorists in Syria are still killing various ethnic groups and, you know, people like the Alawites, Drew's, Christians, but let's just pretend like we're all good now because he's willing to bow his head. He's not friends with Iran. That's the most important thing, right, that he's not an ally of Iran like Bashar al-Assad was. So yeah, sure. I mean, yeah, he did try to kill American soldiers and he was a terrorist with al-Qaeda.

But he's nicer to Israel. So that's okay. As Jake Sullivan said, as al-Qaeda was being armed by the United States in Syria, al-Qaeda is not our enemy. There are allies in Syria. It's disgusting. Now, even little Marco couldn't pass up a photo opportunity with the reformed terrorist. That's the video you're watching right now. You know, wow. Isn't that the, isn't Marco Rubio standing next to a guy that I should be super scared of? I mean, isn't that, I thought radical Islamic extremists are what we should all worry about.

Why were they in the White House? And by the way, that's not it. So I want to be very, very clear about something. We do have a history of arming all sorts of terrorist groups when it's convenient for us or when it's convenient for our ally Israel. And then when they're no longer convenient, we fearmonger about them to the United States, to the American people. And it's a great distraction from what Israel is up to in the Middle East. Because if you wanted to talk about empire building, if you want to talk about stealing land, Right now, at this moment, Israel is doing it, and they're doing it with our money and our weapons.

But they don't want us to talk about that. Okay, so I'll talk about Muslim extremists. That's okay. They want me to do that. I'll do that. So why don't we talk about the other Muslim extremist that was in the White House just recently? And that's the butcher, better known as Mohammed bin Salman, the very man who ordered the assassination and dismemberment of U.S. resident and Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, he recently visited the White House, and man, Trump really gets fired up if his favorite

terrorist is being asked difficult questions from American journalists. Take a look. Your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9-11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why is Americans who are you? You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial? A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about, whether you like him or didn't like him. Things happen, but he knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that. You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question like that. Yeah, don't be mean to the terrorists that we like here in the United States because his country

has agreed to provide a lot of money to my son-in-law's hedge fund. And I've got my own dealings in Saudi Arabia as well. So the butcher's okay with us. The butcher's okay. Yeah. The US and Israel like to prop up actual extremists and terrorists. So we all have this boogeyman to obsess about while the real culprit in empire expansion is Israel. I just want to be very, very clear about that because I'm sick of the lies and I'm sick of the gas lighting. The militant group in Gaza, known as popular forces led by Abu Shabab has been funded by Israel. It's currently being funded and armed by Israel. And Netanyahu got caught doing it,

so he had no choice but to concede, to confess that that's what's been going on. This is the group that's been looting Gaza's humanitarian aid. And then of course Israel will blame Hamas for doing it, even though reporting in the New York Times clarified that it's not Hamas. And of course, Israel blamed Hamas for why they're carrying out a genocide, even though they're the ones who propped up

the very group that they're now fear mongering about. And if you don't know what I mean, let me take you to a video dating all the way back to 2009 featuring former congressman Ron Paul. If you look at the history, you'll find out that Hamas was encouraged and really started by Israel because they wanted Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat.

And he said, well, yeah, that was better then and served his purpose, but we didn't want Hamas to do this. So then we, We, as Americans, say, well, we have such a good system. We're going to impose this on the world. We're going to invade Iraq and teach people how to be Democrats. We want free elections. So we encourage the Palestinians to have a free election.

They do, and they elect Hamas. So we first indirectly and directly through Israel help establish Hamas. Then we have election. Then Hamas becomes dominant, so we have to kill them. You know, it just doesn't make sense. During the 80s, you know, we were allied with Osama bin Laden and we were contending with the Soviets. It was at that time our CIA thought it was good if we radicalize the Muslim world. I know that there are variations in, you know, libertarian thought.

And when it comes to their economic positions, I think that's where I have the deepest disagreements with them. But man, they tend to hit the mark perfectly when it comes to foreign policy. And Ron Paul was absolutely correct there. Now, I want to queue up the cold open because I want you to hear from Marco Rubio one more time before we get to our very last video. Because I want you to remember what he has accused Muslims of doing. Take a look. The notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simply controlling some province in Iraq or Syria is just not born out by history. Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate.

They want to expand. It is a revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people. That's what Marco Rubio wants you to be very scared about. But what's actually happening right now in the Middle East? Why don't we take a little trip to the West Bank? Here in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, a Palestinian family is being forced out of their home. The family say they are being threatened by a Jewish settler.

The person the Shdaya family accused of leading the violence against them is this settler, Moshe Sharvite. He has become known in the area for his aggressive actions against Palestinians. Frequently captured in mobile phone footage filmed by Israeli peace activists. Since a war in Gaza began, locals say Moshe is responsible for forcing families, including the Steyers, to leave the Hamra area. Gee, I wonder which group is trying to steal land because they're not satisfied with the area that they're already occupying. The Trump administration has betrayed this country in more ways than one.

Jonathan Pollard, who was convicted for spying on the United States, on behalf of Israel. He worked for the CIA. He served 30 years in prison. I believe he should have upon conviction, been given the death penalty. I've obviously changed my opinion on the death penalty because I think if you're a traitor to this country, that should be the punishment. Obviously, with a conviction. But you want to know what Jonathan Pollard just a few months ago was bragging about in an interview in Israel. he was bragging about the fact that when Henry Kissinger of all people was trying to

reign in Israel's barbarism and threatened U.S. foreign aid unless Israel, you know, maybe calm down a little bit, maybe kill fewer people. He was threatened with nukes. And you want to know what Jonathan Pollard said? Maybe we need to use that. threat more often. Against the United States, guys, against the United States. Jonathan Pollard was released when he should have served his entire life in prison, but he was released after 30 years. And he had very strict parole conditions that did not allow him to leave this country. The Trump administration eased those parole restrictions. Pollard got onto Sheldon Aedelson's jets, traveled to Israel, and was warmly embraced by Benjamin Netanyahu.

These people are traitors to the country, and they have the freaking audacity to point fingers at others. Don't buy it. We've got to take a break. We'll be right back.
