01:57 We have surprising to shocking news today because there's a little bit of media, pushback on on Israel being God's gift to humanity. Wow. Now don't get me wrong, the main storyline is editors at CBS saying, no, shut up, you stupid reporters and report that Israel is God's gift to humanity. Okay, so that clash is super interesting. And then speaking of clashes, a Washington Post reporter is attacked in the West Bank. And since they're not Muslim, it counts, and the rest of the press is covering that. that. So that's an amazing story. And speaking of the press, the press secretary has been fired. We're gonna get to that in a second. So there is a world of news and is on the political front, Donald Trump's numbers, I've never seen anything this bad. Like these numbers,
02:55 unprecedented. So I'm super curious what's going to happen in the midterms because I've never seen a president more unpopular in my lifetime when we live through George W. Bush. Yeah. So it's amazing stories and some hopeful today. Hey, do you believe in miracles? Yeah, that's if you believe the polls are real and not fake news. Yeah, well, no. So we'll see. So okay, before we get started to real quick, John, jogging in a Dragon Squad shirt, a week ago and I had my earbuds in so I didn't hear perfectly what he said, but he pointed to my shirt and was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then looked at me a little quizzical and then moved on.
03:36 That's funny, you could sort of, you could tell the whole thing that happened. Yeah, yeah, so he definitely likes damage report. Awesome, thank you. Probably likes you. Maybe, maybe, maybe. But everybody, check out damage report, it's at 1 o'clock Eastern Monday through Friday, It's on YouTube, it's on t.com, and it's on our 24 hour channels along with everywhere else. All right, let's get started guys.
04:00 So Kate Zacharias's term as press secretary didn't quite last a Scramucci. So I, she's fired. So let's get into it because let's see we need to hear the whole story. Why did she get fired and what's the fallout, John, tell us all about? Yeah, I think it was technically less than half a Scaramucci, less than than half of the lifespan of a head of lettuce. It did not go well. She had one press conference, and that's being generous to call it a whole, it was half
04:33 of a press conference that she did. And in case you missed what happened at it, take a look. Good morning. Good morning, I am so honored to work for President Trump and the American people as the new White House press secretary. I want to thank President Trump for his trust that he has placed in me. I have wanted to work for him for a very long time. Everyday Americans are showing up in droves to attend these rallies because of President Trump's America First agenda of lower taxes, higher wages, and one of my favorite secure borders.
05:20 In addition to that, we will be, we will be, there is $54 billion tied to the Alaska LNG pipeline and terminal to service the Pacific Rim. I love being with my kids. The idea of not spending evenings with my kids is, kids are, is completely unacceptable. So my president, excuse me, my husband, that's a, that's a good one. My husband is out here. Yes, that didn't go very well. Donald Trump used to say of Carolyn Levitt, including a lot of things about her physical appearance, she's like a machine gun, those lips, they just go.
05:59 In this case, I think the guns jammed, I don't think that it works very well. So that was almost the entirety of the press conference, exaggerating slightly, it was like a third of it at least. But she then went on to do some appearances on Fox News. I guess they figured she can't stand up to the media, so go to the fake right wing media. And even that didn't go all that well. Take a look. Why only three questions in 14 minutes and what might you do a little differently going forward? I can give you some unsolicited advice that's never going to be a friendly room to you.
06:35 Yeah, so what I what I would say is I would absolutely be very well prepared on the briefing, Sean, and I would love and I do love questions and I would love to build a relationship with all of those members of the press corps. So there is a substantive component to us having an ability to interact. And I will be very prepared, Sean, and I will step up to the duty of President Trump has asked me to as press secretary. All right, Katie, we wish you the best to look in your new position, and we do appreciate you coming on. Thank you. I think them prematurely playing her off was kind of a bad omen because it also happened
07:14 to her job. Now, we're gonna have in a second the before and Like what Trump was saying his view of Katie was and what was really gone gone behind the scenes, but Jake, feel free to weigh in. She's out. So first, I love this. She said, I'm so thankful to President Trump for giving me this job. I don't know if she's still thankful. Right. She said it was unacceptable to not spend nights with her kids. Problem solved. So now you'll get to spend nights with your kids now that you're fired. I thought Hannity going after her was interesting and strange. And so did everybody.
07:48 everybody else. So because Hannity's job is usually to fluff the Trump guy. So he must have gotten a note to go after her. Because Hannity never disobeys Rupert Murdoch. If the Murdoch say something, that's what he's gonna say on air. Maybe Trump said he wasn't impressed and so Sean felt free to push back. Somebody thought this person is not good enough to carry out what I would say is our propaganda.
08:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? up to the job of doing the propaganda right, it's gonna backfire on us. So Sean, go ahead and kneecapper. Yeah. Because I don't think it was Trump. I think it was Hannity delivering a message on behalf of others to Trump, right? Hey, we're not happy with her.
08:33 And so, and that playing her off, see, Hannity did tell the producer to do that. The producer already knew to do that because it's a Fox News thing, right? That's a good point. The Murdox for whatever reason decided, no, we don't like her, we're gonna get rid of her, okay? And they says that Trump was teetering on the edge. So when Hannity gives the push, she gets taken out. Yeah.
08:56 And you know, she was explaining to Hannity there, she said, I will be very prepared. And so that gives you a sense that they thought she was not prepared. And that's what the pushback she's gotten in the White House, and hence only three questions and only 14 minutes, I think her inability to speak was secondary to her not being prepared enough to take those questions. Do you see what I'm saying? I think the criticism being that she wasn't prepared is the most generous criticism you can give because that implies that had she just looked over the packet more, she would
09:30 have done a good job, and I don't think that's remotely true. Yeah, that gets us to the inability to speak part. And maybe not knowing these things, like I could read a page if it's gibberish about People I don't know, countries I don't know, issues I don't know. It doesn't matter if I read the page. I'm not gonna be able to speak extemporaneously in an intelligent fashion about it. And think about it guys. Did they vet her at all when they hired her to John's point?
09:55 Like, did anyone say who's our ally in Nicaragua? Just to pick a random country, right? Who's the leader of Nicaragua and whose side are we on? Which drug lord are we supporting in Brazil, right? And which ones are we pretending to be against? Like just some rudimentary ability to handle this particular job, because you've got to know U.S. policy, because you're the press secretary for the president of the United States of America. That is a hefty job.
10:25 That is a substantive job. Do you think he knows? No, but at least his press secretary should know. Sure, yeah. Right? But they never vet anyone. No. I like her.
10:35 I saw her on facts. She's got nice lips. Well, if you hire people like that, yeah, you're gonna have to fire him in five days and after 14 minutes. So it's just an epic disaster. You know, we have a Trump clip that I want to play for you guys. But yeah, you know what? You keep going. And then at the end, we'll play a clip of Trump telling us how good he is at hiring.
10:56 How good? Oh, okay. I didn't know about that one. Yeah, your Nicaragua stuff, I think you might be sent up to high up a bar. If like the next senator from South Carolina doesn't need to know any of that stuff, why is the press secretary? You need to know that stuff. But anyway, yeah, they're just like theoretically vet at least a little bit. Did they know about the QAnon stuff, the China stuff?
11:14 Had they done one test press conference? I don't think that they did, I think. Oh, there's no way, yeah. I don't think they did literally anything. Can I tell you something? I actually, that'll lead to an ironic defense of her from me. But okay, now keep going. Just have her do a jubilee or something.
11:29 First, go something, one press secretary, 20 wackos. But anyway, so Donald Trump, I had to handle this in a careful way because she was not qualified for the job. It was a disaster that should obviously reflect very poorly on him, particularly when you find out that evidently he didn't even inform Susie Wiles about this. He's like taking like sole control over this sort of stuff. This reflects poorly on him. He doesn't want to imply, he doesn't want to take responsibility for that.
11:57 He literally never does. So why don't we look at what he said publicly about her stepping down and what he was apparently saying behind the scenes. First, the public. I told Katie, it's very unfairly by the, we like Katie a lot. I think she's being unfairly. That is nonsense, that's total nonsense. To the extent that the media was rough on her, it's that she did a bad job, which she obviously
12:54 did. I think that, Donald Trump thinks that. She did a bad job, and we said that she did a bad job. You can't even say that the media inside of the press briefing room were unfair to her. We don't have a sample size large enough because she ran out of the room after three questions. The three questions were all, by the way, people seem to miss this. It was all right wing sources she was talking to. It's not like she went like straight to Caitlin Collins or whatever.
13:18 It was like Breitbart and stuff, but that was unfair. And then Sean Hannity was tough on her. Is that what Donald Trump was talking about? I'm not sure, but he's not firing her. They're gonna have some position for her. God knows what, she wasn't qualified for this, what is she qualified for? So he implies there that he's trying to help her out. He doesn't think she did a bad job.
13:38 It's just that the media was mean to her, as if in his eyes, they're not going to be mean to anyone he chooses. So she needs to have a good life, so get her out of there. Well, then who the hell is going to actually fill the role? They're all going to be unfairly treated. Anyway, it's all a lie, because behind the scenes, he was way more critical of her. So Caitlin Collins tweeted, I'm told Trump was embarrassed by the coverage of Zacharias briefing.
14:00 And when he polled other aides about her, Zachariah had few allies willing to stand up for her or defend her performance. The main reason he rushed to select her after growing irritated with how long the process was taking to replace Carolyn Levitt was because he wanted more people defending him on TV. When she failed to do so in a sufficient way with Sean Hannity, Trump said he knew she needed to go. So yes, they did rush. And why did they have to rush after a couple of months?
14:26 It's because nobody qualified wants the job. And so they're not only at the bottom of the barrel, they're like barely even vetting the bottom of the barrel. Beyond even what Caitlin Collins says, Daniel Lipman says, knew one White House official told me that President Trump in an earlier meeting with Katie Zachariah was not present for, told attendees that she had no talent and shouldn't be on television, which to him is everything about almost anyone, especially a woman. If you're not from central casting and you don't have the juice or whatever, then you're
14:57 worthless to him, and that seems to be the evaluation he's made. Yeah, well, look, if there's one thing I know about Donald Trump, He knows talent. Okay, and that's because he told me. Can we watch it? This is from a while back. Look, I work out. I try to eat, right?
15:13 I take my supplements. I do all the things that Helcomaniacs do. Everybody remember that? But here's a question that drives me nuts. Is any of it actually working? That's a fair question when it comes to me. But that's why I'm excited about the true age test from true diagnostic. It uses epigenetics, which sounds very complicated and fancy,
15:29 but it's just really tiny chemical tags on your DNA that change with your sleep, stress, diet, and exercise. True age reads those tags to estimate how your body's aging. And this is some gimmick. Its methods are published in peer-reviewed journals developed with researchers at Harvard, Yale, and Duke. You get your biological age, how fast you're aging, and how areas like your heart, brain, and liver may be aging as well. Plus, you get personalized recommendations on what to actually change. That's very useful. It's an at-home finger prick. You mail it back in the prepaid kit, and your report is online in about three to four weeks. Super simple. So if you're serious about longevity or even just curious whether your body is aging
16:09 faster or slower than your actual age, this is one of the easiest ways to find out. Right now, go to truediagnostic.com and use code t-y-t for 20% off your entire order. That's true diagnostic.com code t-y-t for 20% off. I know the best people. I know the best managers. I know the best deal makers. I know people that will make us so strong. I know guys that are so good. I know the best people. I know people that are so good, so good that they know words other than good.
16:47 I'm not one of them, but I know them. So this brother's said that how he's such a great manager and the art of the deal and he's like the greatest businessman. Now you guys know six major, mass. bankruptcy is never run a company that he didn't bankrupt until he became president and now runs crypto scams and makes billions off of corruption, right? The one business he's ever run right is corruption. Okay, so, but if you're gonna brag all day about how you're the greatest at hiring and you know the best people, you might not want to fire people after five days.
17:25 And he says, you know, you're doing it to protect our, please. So John, my slight defense of her is she, like, she's super nervous and I get it, right? This is your first time being press secretary. And imagine if you were press secretary, you know, my guess is anybody would be super nervous on the first day, right? Now, as she herself pointed out, she need to be way better prepared. And the more prepared you are, the less nervous you are. So there's so no question and a lot of it is on her, but I get it.
18:03 But exactly to your point, John, I blame Trump for hiring her in the first place way more than I blame her because it's his job to pick the best press secretary. And he didn't even bother vetting her in any way, shape, or form other than liking how she looks on Fox News, right? And then I blame the team a lot more than her because, guys, are you going to, all right, so it turns into a disaster, right? So if I'm in charge, do I then immediately cut her legs out from underneath her because everybody is making fun of her? No, I wouldn't. I would do what John suggested. I would do one test after another, after another internally, right?
18:41 Fire questions that are, have her get prepared, right? And then drill her on it and get practicing, lots of practice in, and then put her out one more time, give her a second shot, you know? Yeah. Like just as- Prove the media wrong. Yeah, and even if you prove them right, people then see you, you, you know, you- instead of going, does a dumb mistake by me, you're loser fired, right?
19:03 I mean, we'll keep her around something. Yeah, she's pretty. You know what I'm saying? I like her lips. Right? You look like a jerk, right? And you are a terrible person. If you set her up to fail, at least give her a second chance while doing an enormous amount of homework behind the scenes. Yeah. Right? But no, she did the thing that is the biggest crime. She made Trump look bad. But he doesn't need any help in that. And so I think by firing her so quickly, he didn't in essence more damage because not to her, but to himself, because it now proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, he's a clown in hiring. He never thinks anything through.
19:44 The minute that there's any kind of like, you know, a problem for him, he'll throw anyone under a bus. And I just, it's kind of a little bit stomach church. I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this. Obviously I'm not a fan of her to say the least, and no one is. And she was trying to glom onto this. She timed her Fox News appearances to when Trump would watch. So I got no love for her at all, not 1%, right?
20:10 But I'm just more bothered by this like feeding frenzy and then destroying someone, and then that's it, she's done. There's something about not getting a second chance that viscerally bothers me, even for you. for her. Yeah, I get that you're a nice guy in that way. I don't think anyone is entitled to an incredibly powerful and well paid job necessarily when I've never heard anything about her that would say that she was qualified. It's not like this is the next step, it's just they plucked her from basically nowhere.
20:41 And maybe I'm a little bit harsh on her or whatever, partially because I'm sick of people, like fairly mediocre people feeling like, no, yeah, I should be a senator, I should be press secretary, why not, why not? I think I could do it. The main issue is the lying about being a lawyer or whatever that speaks to character, and the fact that she's a Q-N-conspiracy theorist. No, you shouldn't be in the White House, actually. You should not be serving in government.
21:03 You believe insane things about breadcrumbs and all that stuff. And so that's who she is, that's who she was for a long time, so goodbye. Yeah, but to be fair, are you sure John F. Kennedy Jr. isn't going to come back? Like 99% sure, I mean, knock on wood, but anyway. So, no, clownish, unquestionable, no issues here with going, ha ha, I get it, we all get it, we all are saying ha ha to some degree. Yeah, just as a human being, I always believe a second chances, but maybe I'm a sap. Maybe, maybe.
21:40 Okay, why don't we take a short break because you're- Oh, one last thing, one last thing. Also, no one's gonna be good at that job because all it entails is lying, right? Carolyn Levin was a good liar. Well, that's fair. Maybe they should be a better lie. Yeah, just bring her back. I'm sure he's calling her every day.
21:55 Give her a second shot at lying. Yeah. Oh my God. Okay, we're gonna take a short break. When we come back though, we've got Jenks' favorite story perhaps of the day. I know the best people. All right guys, so Nerd Ferguson writes, and I bought bananas that have lasted longer than Zacharia.
22:25 This is Zakaria, I don't know how to pronounce it. Okay, Ben Jammer is tweeting, Tweetering. hilarious, about becoming the press secretary, that'd be dangerous to the public self. Look, she thinks she's got to do Israeli propaganda from the White House. I got news for her. They don't need it. Everything from the White House is already Israeli propaganda. So you can't improve upon 100% Israeli propaganda.
22:52 Wedd says there is no mean media in that room. They barred in the outlet asking tough, honest questions. True. Yeah, what mean media? Okay, put young Turks in the White House. press, you know, room. And then you'll see some tough questions, right? By the way, of Republicans and Democrats, but that's why we've never been allowed in.
23:13 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We don't actually want real tough questions. We want to have the appearance of 12 questions. CNN. Okay. All right. Drenched wildfire on Twitch says it was like kind of getting played off at the Oscars, LOL.
23:30 That's the same thing I thought as well. on a YouTube member section, the Florida landscaper says, I'll never live down voting for him. Brother, I love that you think that way because you're holding yourself accountable and that's good personal responsibility. And I love, that's just right ethics, right? But we move on and we make right choices going forward having learned from our mistakes. So I'm easier on you than you are. So way to keep an open mind that you, at least you have now come to the right direction.
24:00 So that's awesome. I am in Vanilli, says president husband. Yeah, now she's gonna go to a real husband instead of her president. All right, back on TYT, Jank and John with you guys. I can't help but read a couple of your comments. I do it during the breaks. If you're a member through t.wit.com slash join during the breaks, you don't get ads, you get our interaction with you guys in your comments.
24:45 But here, I'll throw a couple here. Superchat, Constantine Kaviris says, one, buy Jankabla blonde wig, two, Jank becomes Trump's press secretary. Three, Jank goes jank unchained and gets spectacularly fired on the first day. And he ends with, I'd pay money to see that. That would be funny. But you don't need to buy me a blonde wig. You could just have Anna do it.
25:09 And then they're going to need a new east wing and a new west wing and a new everything because the whole place is going to be on fire. So Nedia, CDN Norse Dog Dad, thank you for gifting a membership on YouTube. You're awesome. And guys, we need it and I love when you stick up for the community. So gifting memberships is awesome, joining through the join button or upgrading to the join button too. So these are dark times folks to attack us to say the least. We're gonna get into that a little bit in the next story.
25:43 Okay, but meanwhile, let me help you guys out. So one of our sponsors chapter is a really, rare honest broker in Medicare. Unfortunately, there's a lot of scams going on. And so we've added these guys, they're not getting commission from the people they're referring you to, almost everyone else is. So the other guys you're calling secretly funnel you to the people paying them. Chapter doesn't do that.
26:08 So that makes a huge difference. They inspect every plan nationwide to give you the best advice. And by the way, if you're the best plan for you is the one you're on, they just tell you and we've had young Turks viewers tell us that. So that's super reassuring. So that's another good sign that they're the good guys. So and on average they've saved people $1,100 a year. So that's super impressive.
26:33 So try them out, it's free under 20 minutes. Skip the scams and call chapter today. Call 805-201-2275 for Medicare help you can trust. That's 805-205-201. 201-2-2-7-5. All right, let's go to our next. And I just think you got it wrong, and you probably got it wrong, because you don't know the story as well as I do.
26:59 The point was- Well, I didn't have a chance to negotiate that, Shandy, because I was too honest as a dick-ta. Because the idea that I somehow have, like, I'm trying to protect Benjamin Netanyahu is, like, ridiculous. I didn't accuse you with that. I did not accuse you were trying to protect Vincent. I know. I know that story really well.
27:17 And I have thoughts on how to frame it. I didn't, whatever. Ooh, that's an internal leaked audio tape from CBS on their fight over how to cover Israel on October 7th. And there's a second leaked audio tape we're gonna get to as well. And there's more from that tape. So that's Shandy Rice, their foreign editor, demanding that they take a piece and make it more pro-Israel. And she says, no, it's ridiculous to say that I would be for that nahu. But as you'll see here, no, no, no.
27:50 She's saying take out the parts that might be damaging to Israel, only give a positive view of Israel. So look, we've suspected this for a long, long time, but now we have the tapes to prove it. But there's also a silver lining in this story, which is that she's actually having to yell at the reporters. Normally you get 100% pro-Israel coverage to begin with. So there's an interesting tiny little rebellion, media rebate. rebellion inside of mainstream media going, can we criticize this or just a smidge?
28:24 And their bosses going, no. But now we have it on tape, so let's hear all about it. I think she just knows the story better than you. No, she's explained in the tapes, she's way smarter than the reporters are. Yeah, everything about that tone was, there's no way this will be leaked, I can say whatever I want, well, no. And so you mentioned that was the CBS News for an editor who was importantly handpicked by Barry Weiss. I tell you that even though you could have drawn your that same conclusion just by listening to her on this topic.
28:52 So she was there dueling with Holly Williams, CBS News correspondent. Here's a brief overview of what's going on. This week, Oliver, status exclusively reported two instances where CBS network brass intervened in reporting about Israel, sparking heated clashes inside the network. First, veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Leslie Stahl's piece on Israeli settlers that aired Sunday night only came after extraordinarily contentious screenings that nearly led to stall quitting. We're going to get into that. There was also a second scuffle that occurred after a CBS evening news piece aired that came from correspondent Holly Williams marking the October 7th terror attacks that notably omitted the death toll
29:39 from Israel's ensuing war in Gaza. We have since learned that Williams wanted to report not only the massive death toll, but add more context to the story, including that Benjamin Netanyahu may have had advance warning of the Hamas terror attack, but she was blocked by network press from doing so. That led to an explosive meeting the following day. Yeah, and I know that you talked about that story we talked about in the damage report. I mean, if there is good reporting indicating that he knew about it and did nothing, And it's the anniversary, that's the story. But no, no, not if you want to protect Benjamin
30:15 and Netanyahu, you like what's going on there, you want to continue it. Then in that case, maybe we just cover it up. But again, she's supposed to be working for CBS News, not for Benjamin Netanyahu, but you wouldn't know it. So as the, as he was pointing out, we want to talk about the, there's the two different pieces that were so contentious. Here is Shandy Rice talking about the second of them. September 7th, that the way to open up an anniversary story about the worst attack on Jews in the Holocaust is to show a montage of Israeli bombs falling on countries in the Middle East. You have an opinion. You have decided, and I'm not saying it's not valid, that the story of October 7th is a story
31:00 about Israeli aggression, Israeli violence, Israel, you know, over responding, overreacting. Is that a valid opinion? Yes, it is. And if you wanted to do a story like that, I didn't actually have a problem with that story. I think it's fine. What I have a problem with is saying that if somebody else says, no, you know what? I actually think on the October 7th anniversary, we should focus instead on what happened that day to the people who were killed. And we can do other stories about Gaza and we can shine a light on everything that's happened to Palestinian since then. But in our main TV piece, we're focused on the victims of that day.
31:40 Another valid opinion. Man, the tone that she is delivering that is amazing. So I'm not saying you can't do that except I'm saying you can't do that and you're not going to do that. Okay, again, that makes me think maybe she is worried about leaks coming out or whatever. But like, but you did stop her from doing that. You weighed in and implied and don't tell me that this is just different, this difference of opinion. She is feeling things when she's saying that. This is a perspective, a baked in perspective.
32:10 And she's saying, no, I want it to be focused on this thing. We're not going to focus it on, you know, the consequences of October 7th and all the people that have died the many, many, many more times civilians that have been killed since then, those who are dying every day. And so it just seems insane. Look, we have more. And some of this to come is I think even more damning. But I want to let you weigh in on that video.
32:30 Okay, don't be confused when she says like, oh, if you want to do a story about Gaza and what Israel's done, that's totally fine. If you notice she paused, I don't have a problem with that. Later she threatened to fire people. So no, she definitely has a problem with that. And in fact, that was her problem with this story, right? So if I was at CBS, I'd be like, oh, you don't have a problem with us covering what Israel did in Gaza?
32:56 Great, I'll do that story tomorrow. I'll give you a spectacular story about all the horrors of the genocide in Gaza. My guess is you're not gonna be fine with it. You're gonna spike that one too. And you're gonna tell us about how we don't understand journalism. She talked about how did she had to teach them how to be smart. Oh my God. Oh yeah.
33:17 Okay. And how they weren't doing the smart reporting. And I think that partly what she's saying is, duh, figure it out. Larry Ellison bought CBS. Yeah. is the biggest charitable donor to the Israeli defense forces. He's given them tens of millions of dollars. You think that Larry Ellison wants you to criticize Israel after he spent billions
33:44 buying your network? No, he bought it so you wouldn't criticize Israel. That's why he put Barry Weiss in charge, and that's why Shandy Rice is now, Barry Weiss and Shandy Rice are in charge because they're the guys who go, no, you're not not allowed to criticize Israel, and I'll hint that later that you'll be fired if you do. 100%. I mean, it's on tape now, right? Yeah. So that was crystal clear. And I don't know when they're gonna get it. I guess before what it was, John, actually this is very similar to what happened to me at MSNBC. Because most of these rules are unwritten, right? And it's
34:21 all like, you know. And I remember talking to an ABC reporter about whether she could criticize Israel and she just, we were at ABC, she didn't say anything. She just went like this. It's October, which means election seasons right around the corner. And for a lot of people, that can mean sleepless nights stressing about our country's future.

That's www.slepe.m.m.m.m.m.m. . . . . okay. So. There were cameras, Chang. She was worried that they were literally listening in, right? And when I was at MSNBC, I was such a pain in the ass that they had to finally say it. Normally, they don't have to say it. Everybody knows, you know, don't do X, don't do Y.
36:19 Now, in my case, it wasn't about Israel. I was criticizing the Democrats and Obama from the left and they didn't like it and I was criticizing Washington. I yelled at a Republican congressman and they didn't like that either, right? My job was to apparently kiss the ass of Washington. So then they had to give me a speech about how NBC's insiders. Outsiders are cool, but at NBC we're insiders, which is a stunning, ridiculous speech to give. It's true, but yeah. Yes, and he literally said we are the establishment. I was like, Oh my God, and I'm such an idiot for not figuring out how to tape it. Like press play, press record, whatever, right?
36:56 Because I didn't think that I was gonna get a movie speech, right? But almost never do you have to verbalize it. But now since people are beginning to say, well guys, this is getting awkward if we never criticize Israel in the middle of this bloody genocide that everyone in our audience has seen. In one side, there's 1,100 to 1,200 people dead. The other side is 75,000 dead, 23,000 kids. Can I just put a smidgen? And this is their bosses going, oh, I guess you guys are stupid, and we have to spell it out for you.
37:32 Yeah. No, we bought the network for Israel. Shut up and go back to doing Israeli propaganda. Yeah, you cited a number there. Shandy Rice has thoughts about that, that'll turn to in a second. One another thing, she sort of rhetorically is hiding behind the idea that you can do that, but not today, not October 7th. October 7th is sacred, but isn't that kind of the point?
37:57 Isn't that why you should use October 7th to talk about it? October 7th was a tragedy and she's saying it's sacred. So thousands of people were killed. Why is that sacred? But the many times more who were killed on the other side isn't sacred, there's no specific A day of remembrance, a day where shut up about Israel, we're only focusing on Palestine. It doesn't, what, because it was spread out a little bit? It's many, many, many, many times more.
38:24 What happened the next October 7th? How many Palestinians were murdered on the next October 7th? But it's not sacred. So isn't that amazing that we have agreed in the media participates in? We're going to choose to make a sacred safe space where you cannot acknowledge what is actually going on in the world for one side. And we're never gonna have that for the other side. And so I'm glad that Holly Williams at least seem to imply that no, we could just actually
38:49 talk about the news. That's the thing we can do. Yeah. So look, just real quick on that, thousands of times you've seen segments on television defending Israel, right? Pro-Israel opponents are greatest allies, special ally, Israel's right to say, blah, blah, the number of punants you've seen defending Palestinians, I'm going to guess is around zero, because the actual number is very near zero.
39:10 So thousands of pro-Israel positions, not. No Palestinian positions at all anywhere in network news or cable news. They put a smidge into an October 7 story that really isn't defending Palestinians. It's just saying that it might be criticizing Netanyahu internally in Israel. Wait, why was, why did he know about October 7 and didn't do anything? So that's not even a defense of Palestinians at all. And video of Israel dropping bombs, that microscopic critique of Israel still too much. Yeah.
39:42 And so not only are we never going to talk about the Palestinians and all of their dead, we won't let you even do a microscopic twinge of Israel. So because we are objective. Now, look, if you think that the American media at large has been objective about Israel, you are recently escaped mental patient, and you can't understand anything. You think a thousand to zero is like objective, right? And you're like, what do you mean? Israel is the greatest outlawy.
40:09 Okay, you're a lunatic. You're so biased, you have no idea how insane you sound, right? So now, to your point about the Palestinians, can I ask on October 7th, can we do a remembrance of the Palestinians on October 8th? Because that's when the genocide begins, right? So October 8th, we mourn the 75,000 Palestinians dead, et cetera, et cetera. And of course, the media goes, shut up, never, right? So when, when, October 9th? Never, never, never, never.
40:37 How about can we do a remembrance on October 6? Because what led up to October 7th is 55 years at that time of brutal occupation of the Palestinians. Five and a half million people living under a brutal dictatorship of Israel, a fascist dictatorship over those five and a half million people. Can we mourn that ever? Shut up, you'll be fired if you ever do. So yeah, yeah, yeah, mainstream media. Kiss my ass.
41:04 You're the least objective people on planet Earth. Your job is overwhelming propaganda. What Chandy Rice is doing is lecturing them. Did you think you were in news? No, no, we're in the propaganda business. October 6th and 8th are too close, they'll say, so how about this? Whatever date is exactly six months after October 7th? It's as far as it can be from October 7th.
41:27 Could that be the day of remembrance? I'm assuming there will be an issue with that too. In any event, you referenced the 75,000 dead. She had thoughts about that as well. Take a look. We're not really like saving Palestinians by saying for repeating this magic number. Like that's that's not, you know, and that's what I mean by also like the posture. Like, you know, it's just these are hard decisions that people see differently on and we have to debate it.
41:57 We never independently confirmed those allegations. So we would be repeating something that was written by one news organization, RX. okay and that was denied by the UAE on the record okay or not on the record sorry but was denied by the way so those two things secondly i was just in israel for sucode i have a lot of friends who live there we're talking about politics the entire time everybody was talking about the election everybody was talking about nittaniano and october seven nobody was talking about those allegations and you know why because nobody really care That is not an issue in the election. The issue in the election is who should be responsible for the
42:45 security disaster that happened on October 7, not specifically what Benjamin Netanyahu knew before or not. He knew everything, Holly. He knew everything. He saw the Hamas militants putting SIM cards in their phones the night before, Israeli SIM cards. The idea that Israel didn't know what was happening, knew or at least they saw it. They didn't know. Obviously if they knew they'd acted. So those allegations are a side show. It's not important. So it's about who's responsible. But if we know that he specifically was responsible, don't say that. I literally can't even follow the argument that she's trying to make there. It is nonsensical to me. Also, I am not in like, we have a, we have a great network here at TYT. I've never been in one of these big cable news things. I
43:36 I didn't know that American news shows determine the content of their rundowns by anecdotal evidence of what people in Israel care about. Like she's saying, I have Israeli friends, and we chat it over dinner, they didn't seem to care about it. So in America, we can't have a story about it, that seems insane to me. Also, I don't know, maybe they'd care more about it if the news talked about it, like we covered it, some places covered it, but that should be an absolutely massive, story, maybe then people would care about it more.
44:08 It's just circular reasoning. She clearly is being defensive towards Zintyahu and the brushing aside the magic number. Okay, if you don't want to say 75,000, that's fine. You can cite a few different estimates. It's obviously more than one, more than a thousand, more than 10,000, but it's magic number. It was so dismissive. Yeah, no, no, I love that one because that was so telling. I went to Israel and all my friends in Israel don't want you to cover this.
44:35 That's news, that's objective. No, we're having a conversation about should we cover the Palestinians for half a second in this story? And your pushback is you went to Israel and no one in Israel wants to cover the Palestinians? Why don't you just say we're Israeli propaganda network? That's exactly what you are. And in fact, that is exactly what you're telling them. You're saying, I went to Israel and Israel doesn't want you to do news.
45:04 And Israel doesn't care about the Palestinians. Israel doesn't care about, you claim that they don't care about, that they weren't prepared for October 7th? That's not even true. The Israelis do care about, they don't care about the Palestinians, that's true. That's why we should cover them for being the monster terrorist that they are. But of course, at CBS, you'd be fired instantly. If you call them terrorists for killing 70 times the civilians that Hamas did, right?
45:31 That is an empirical fact that they're terrorists. They sniper shots to kids, chest shots, head shots. We've gone over it a million times. But you're never gonna see that in mainstream media, because their bosses are gonna go to Israel and they're gonna say, oh, my friends in Israel say that the Palestinians lives are useless. I can't believe you cared about the Palestinians.
45:49 Oh, my friends in Israel, this is a news report. This is not news. This is not any magic number. How insulting is that? So on October 7th, you have heard a million times, 1,200 people died, right? We referenced it earlier. It's actually not quite 1,200.
46:04 It's in the 1100s, but they round up. With Palestinians, you round down, with Israelis, you round up. But did you know that 314 to 367 were military targets? And they live under an occupation. It is legal to fight back against a military occupation of your land and your home. Okay? And now people, oh, look at the poor Israelis. They're in the middle of crossing the Palestinians and destroying them for five, six decades.
46:31 And I can't believe somebody fought back. No, Israel is the terrorists that have been terrorizing the Palestinians for now nearly 60 years. So the number of civilians who died were 809 to 859. And the Israelis lie nonstop. They had the nonsense, outrageous propaganda about decapitated babies. Then they turned around and murdered 23,000 children in Gaza. But if someone said, oh, that 1,200 is a magic number. Oh my God, they would be decapitated.
47:04 career-wise, right? Their career news or media would be instantly over. If you were not perfectly respectful of Israeli propaganda about people who Israelis who had been harmed, no, that's nuclear. You're gone. I mean, they did 1% and 1% and 1% of that and she threatened to fire them. Okay. So, but when it comes to the Palestinians, the IDF has already said, oh yeah, we murdered at least 71,000 of at least, okay? The IDF's numbers, and the Israeli press reported it. And she's like, magic number, we don't report Palestinian deaths. Brecht their propaganda for Israel.
47:43 All my friends in Israel, I want you to do propaganda. I'm a news person. Are you? You know, you know, Hawaii? I would have been fired if I was Holly Williams right there? Because I would have said, oh, is that what your Israeli friends are saying? What are your Palestinian friends saying when you visit them in Gaza? Oh, and that would have been it.
47:58 I would have been fired on the spot, collect your stuff, and get the hell out of there. because the idea that she would care to know, to talk to them, to see them as equally deserving of perspective is ridiculous. And guys, look at this conversation. They're having this giant angry meeting because someone dared to tweak Israel. I don't even know if it's tweaking them really. They just were gonna say, hey, Nanjahu knew about October 7th, which is 100% confirmed, including by Heretz and Israeli publication. that Chandy Rice referred to, right?
48:33 The Israeli press has confirmed it. They're like, no, no, I know, but the Israeli press, they're allowed to say it because we can't call them anti-Semites, but none of you are like. American press is not allowed to say, we get our money from America. What are you doing here? What do you think Larry Ellis has spent all this money on CBS for?
48:47 So even if Holly Williams and the good guys that CBS won, what would they have won? They would have won a microscopic representation that Israel might not be perfect. Yeah. Come on, man. American media is neither American nor media. Okay, it is Israeli propaganda and you see it now and you hear it with your own ears.
49:15 Later they will say ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears, just like in Gaza. It is our most essential command. And who gives that essential command? Not a news reporter or a news editor, a propagandist does. Yeah, I think we should take our second break. We're gonna get into the terrible poles that you talked about after this. It's October, which means the weather's getting colder, mornings and nights are getting darker, and your body's like, what happened?
49:39 When this season's shift, you need your foundation to stay solid. That's why using AG1 makes so much sense. AG1 NextGen has 75 plus ingredients, vitamins, minerals, pre and probiotics, superfoods, backed by four separate gold standard clinical trials. Now, it's just one study, four. Key nutrient levels improved within three months of consistent use. It's not a one-day fix, it's what happens when you stay consistent. Fall means to start the flu season and your immune system matters most.

That's drinkag1.com slash TYT. He knew everything. They knew and they let it happen.
50:58 Yeah, love those free Palestine shirts on shopty.com. Proceeds are going to Palestine Children's Relief Fund. As most profit rights, Anna would walk out of the White House having turned everyone in there into salt. It'd be like the final scene of Carrie. Yeah. Nah, that's a beautiful thought. Okay, Wang Jun, expect CBS to rename 60 minutes to 15 minutes because Zionists love to hide the real numbers. Wade says there's no mean media in that room.
51:27 They barred any outlets. We already read that. Cabri says media should answer the question. Does Palestine have a right to exist? You would be fired immediately if you ask that question. How dare you think that Palestinians are human enough to exist? Fired! You have crossed the most important line in American journalism, kissing Israel's ass.
51:49 If you haven't done the left cheek, the right cheek, and the middle, you're fired! Okay, so now you know it, now you know it, I told you, you heard it with your own ears. By the way, again, later she threatened to fire them. Yeah, I should have mentioned that. And Leslie Stahl almost quit because of how much oversight was being exercised. Yeah, micrograms on Twitch says LMAO, of course you were just in Israel with all her friends celebrating. FACISC, fascist killer says, she just gave away the game there. Yep.
52:24 Velt will go, might imagine if we said people aren't allowed to criticize America on 9-11, Turk's Facebook. But to be fair, you know, there's a lot of things who are not allowed to say about 9-11, like World Trade Center 7. The owner of it said on tape, it is indisputable, that they imploded it. How come the media never talks about that? So, oh. First comes strength, then comes peace. All right, back on TYT, Jenkins John with you guys.
53:12 Squash Diamond, thank you for sending in five young tourist memberships. You're awesome and an American hero. And I'm gonna read a couple of nice comments because it's nice to hear everyone so Lidia Richardson, YouTube member, says, I like it when John is there. Me too, me too. Me too. By the election night special, me, John, Anna, and many others, don't miss it. It is going, those midterms are as important a midterm as there has ever been.
53:34 I can't wait. Yeah, I'm really excited. 100%. Yeah. Francis Stardust wrote and Anna and Jenk will be revered Americans. Oh, well, that's nice. More and more every year until someday they're widely understood as heroes who stood up when almost all their journalistic peers just whimped out.
53:47 Well, Francis, you're amazing for saying that. I really appreciate you. And we try hard. That's why the rest of the media hates us. They do facts and they care about human beings. Yuck, yuck! No, their objective thing is, oh, why don't they love Israel like we do? That's the objective thing.
54:04 Anyway, Francis also wrote, and I'm already depressed about November 4th, when a Democrats win by a land side, and we then realize Schumer's in charge. Yep. If AOC runs against him, then he would no longer be in charge. in 2028, but we'll see what happens. That's true. Yeah. All right, let's go to the next story.
54:20 A brand new poll shows President Trump with his worst approval ratings in that poll ever. Fox News shows the president's approval at 36%. They've never had a lower reading. And if you think that's bad, dot, dot, dot. With us now, CNN chief data analyst, Harry, and if you think that bad, 36% is bad, you dig a little deeper, things get even worse. The numbers you're about to see for Donald Trump's disapproval are record breaking. They're so gigantic, I'm shocked by them.
54:58 So let's give you the numbers first, and then we'll analyze what's going to happen in the elections. Yeah, we're going to jump into a couple of different demographics, all of them potentially crucial when it comes to the midterms. And we're to start with young voters, why they're leaving Trump. And here to break it down is the one and only Harry Anton. Voters under the age of 30, they no longer think that Trump is groovy. He's no longer jiggy with it. Look at this. Back in October of 2024, he was three points above water.
55:27 They liked him more than they disliked him when looking back at how he was doing in term number one. Look at this. Look at this. He's now 50 points underwater with the group he was positive with. He's now 50 points underwater. That's approval minus disapproval. That's a shift journey, B. This is math we can all do.
55:44 53 points in the wrong direction. The economy and voters under the age of 30. Back in 2024, look at this. What do we see? We saw that Trump was more trust on the economy than Kamala Harris. By two points. One, two, but still more trusted
55:58 than Kamala Harris was. Look at his net approval rating now. 64 points underwater. 64 points underwater. Johnny B., that's a change of a very unlucky, 66 points. Voters under the age of 30 in Trump and inflation.
56:11 Whenever I can put a number on the screen on two hands, nine, nine. That is the percentage who approve of the job that Trump is doing on inflation for voters under the age of 30. 91%, 91% disapprove. There are more Americans who think that we fake the moon landing than the percentage of young voters who actually approve the job that Trump is doing on inflation. Yeah, when you ask young people how they think about Trump's job progress on inflation, they say nine, nine. They're not big fans of it. When he put the 53 up there, I thought he was putting stink lines on it, which would actually be pretty accurate. They're not big fans of him.
56:48 So we've got independence, we've got Latino voters, but first the young the youngsters, the youngans, they don't think he's groovy, I hear. Yeah, when you're talking about people under 30 and you say they're not getting jiggy with it, I think you might have the wrong demographic. But that's funny. All right, guys, I've never seen a number like negative 91. That's earth shattering. I'm never, never literally in 30 years of covering politics, I've never seen a number like that. Yeah. But the minus 64 on the economy for under 30 year olds, minus 64.
57:25 Okay, so now look, this goes to the overall point. So there was a theory that everybody who voted for Trump was a lunatic and an occult and loved Trump more than their mom and they not one of them would ever break from him. Now, my theory was not just with independence, but certainly with young people, because they're new to politics, right? They didn't live through Bush and et cetera, they're new to it, they barely even live through Obama, right? So what they see is, man, this system sucks, right?
58:02 And the Democrats, under them, we had a lot of high inflation, and did we get, did we end corruption? Did we have, you know, did we get rid of inflation? Did we do anything positive for the American people? And the answer was like, not really. And then at the end, you sprinkled in genocide. And so they were like, I'm not necessarily leaning towards Republicans or Trump, but I'll give you a plus two, right? Or a plus three, because the Democrats suck so much.
58:33 And that's what- Think about it, if you're under 30 voter, some of them are 18, some of them or 24, and all they, for guys that young, all they ever saw was how much Biden sucked. And leading and putting on top of that was the Democrats all lying in mass about how Biden was totally fine. And remember, young people don't watch television, so they never got brainwashed into thinking that Biden was young and dynamic. So they're looking at their phones going, this guy's shaking hands with invisible people and can't remember a single thing, his brain is falling out of his ear.
59:08 and all the Democrats are telling me he's young and dynamic. So I guess Democrats are giant liars. So even with all of that, it was a tiny lead for Trump. But that doesn't mean that they love Trump. That just means they hated what the Democrats did in the last four years. And I understand that. But a lot of people, both in the mainstream media and within the Democratic Party, were like, what do you mean?
59:34 The Democrats are God's gift to humanity. And Joe Biden is FDR 2.0. That's what they kept calling him. He was the next FDR. Look at all that basic things he did. He's so great. So for them, they're like, well, if you voted for Trump, you must be a lunatic and a part of his cult. I was like, no, they voted for Trump.
59:56 Because in their limited experience, the Democrats suck so hard, right? And so that's why they went over to him. Can you win them back? I'm like, not only can you win them back, we know something they don't know, which is that Trump is much, much worse than Biden. Believe it or, I mean, Biden at the end, clearly a dementia couldn't even speak. And I still knew that Trump was worse than him. Why?
01:00:22 Because we already lived under Trump. I already know everything I need to know about Donald Trump. I know he's a lifelong con man. And I know he never means it when he gives you fake promises like no more wars or I'm gonna have inflation solved on the first day. I'm gonna end to Russia, Ukraine war on the first day. I've heard these lies out billion times. Yeah.
01:00:40 So I knew what kind of iceberg we were gonna hit. And if you're gonna hit an iceberg, what's gonna happen to young voters who've never been brainwashed by television? They're gonna swing, because they don't have an allegiance to the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, Biden or Trump. And those guys are 60 years older than them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, so yes, of course they were gonna break. But would I have predicted a minus 91 inflation? No, even I wouldn't have predicted that.
01:01:11 Yeah, and by the way, that 9% approval on inflation is just a little heads up to Donald Trump. Yeah, keep lying to people. Keep just telling them that you're good on inflation, there's no inflation. That clearly is winning them over, jackass. Anyway, let's talk about two more demographics and then we'll sum things up. First here, independence. Look at this, versus Kamala Harris. Donald Trump was more trusted on inflation among the
01:01:35 independence by 12 points. Look at where Donald Trump is now on inflation. He's 57 points underwater. It's a very not nice 69 point drop against the president of the United States going in the wrong direction. I mean, these are the types of numbers when you're talking about the group in the center of the electorate, the center of the electorate, and now he's 57 points under water. If you're a Republican running, you want to be running away from Donald Trump and not towards him. The question, of course, is whether or not that actually makes its way down
01:02:07 to the races and actually a matchup between the Democrats in your left and Republicans on the right. And you know what? If you're a Republican, I don't have good news for you because it's much more of a nightmare. Take a look here. Okay, party trusted more in inflation. Look at this. The Democrats are more trusted on inflation, which is the name of the game
01:02:23 by 15 points. I was going back through the record books to try and find any instance in which the Democratic Party was more trusted on inflation than Republicans, you have to go all the way back to the Gerald Ford administration in the mid-1970s. Yeah, that's pretty huge. And yeah, independence for a long time, they're done with him. They're done with them. They're done with them on basically every issue. Overall, they're 100% done with him. So that's general. Young people, independence throughout the country,
01:02:51 but let's focus in on what could help to swing one state. So we have some numbers on how he's doing specifically among Latino voters in Texas. MGM casino and check out the newest exclusive.

Donald Trump won Hispanic voters by 10 points. Look at where the U.S. House polling is right now.
01:03:41 It's Democrats leading among Hispanic voters in the great state of Texas by 31 points. That Republican brand, that Donald Trump brand is in the garbage with Hispanic voters in the great state of Texas. And this is, what is this, Kate? This is a 41 point shift to the left. Democrats doing historically well with Hispanic voters, at least compared to where they were two years ago, in the great state of Texas. And of course, I will note in all of this, Texas is the fastest growing state per USA facts. So what we're essentially seeing right here is Democrats picking up strength among the number one group that is growing the fastest in Texas. This is a very ugly picture of Republicans.
01:04:20 So that's a little bit of news that could potentially bear on Texas. Although I was recently in Texas, I was talking with someone with Texas friends and they don't even care about this story. So I don't know what I're covering this jank. But anyway, yeah, that's that's a perfect storm basically. polling, what do you think? Yeah, so again, I've never seen minus 57 with independence. So in fact, there's something a little off on the polling because you can't be minus 57 with independence and have Ken Paxton and Tala Rico within two points of each other.
01:04:51 It doesn't make sense, right? So but there's also- Oh, though that last thing was Hispanic voters in Texas. Yeah, yeah, no, no, with independence, and that was across the nation, to be fair. Yes, that was in the nation, yes. But that's what I'm saying, like you can't be minus 57 with independence and have these elections be this close, right? And so my point isn't that there's something wrong with that, the polls that they're showing. My point is, when you look at the big picture polling, I think that's more indicative.
01:05:19 We'll see if I'm right or wrong about this than the narrow polling of the races. And part of the reason that I think that is because of voter turnout. So when you have a minus 57 with independents and you have, you have, you have, you have, you And he, by the way, he lost 31% of his base, Trump did. So we haven't even gotten to Republicans, but he lost 31% of them in a different poll. Oof. Yeah. That means a lot of people on your side, even if they said, well, if you put a gun to my head
01:05:47 and I had to pick between Paxton and Tala Rico, I find I'll pick Paxton, I'm a lifelong Republican, right? But that guy might not bother showing up to vote. And so that then lowers Tala Rico's vote count, even if it does, I'm sorry, vote count, even if it doesn't increase Tala ricos. So I think that voter turnout is going to be the biggest factor by a lot. They're not talking about it nearly enough before the elections. I think after the elections, you're gonna see Harry Anton going,
01:06:16 look at the border turnout numbers. For the Republicans, it's down way down. Okay, so let's see if that prediction comes true along with the antics. And don't get me wrong, I'm pro antics. So and then Dan Osborne's election in Nebraska is very interesting because Dan Osborne is an actual independent, not a Democrat, and he's the one running against Ricketts, the incumbent senator, Republican senator there. And Ricketts is just a very standard corrupt Republican.
01:06:51 It does every single thing that donors want without fail, serves Israel, serves oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, data centers, AI, crypto, and he's like, yes, sir, yes, sir. So can the corruption of the Republicans, the disgust that independence and young people and Latinos and every other demographic have, with both the party and Trump, get beyond the conservative leanings of a place like Nebraska? So when they get into the voting booth, they're so used to voting a Republican, and And they're gonna really have to like get themselves to do this to vote for in that case and independent.
01:07:35 So and Osborne's election is also interesting because there's some chance that Osborne wins in a much deeper red state Nebraska, right? Then there's some Democrats win in more purple states because then he doesn't have the problem of people going, yeah, I hate Trump, but I don't love the Democrats either, right? So that's why I think that's an interesting race to look out for. And we're gonna cover the elections here on the young Turks from the beginning of the day all the way through. So make sure you're tuning into the young Turks on election day.
01:08:09 And we'll track those. We'll track the voter turnout. We'll track independence versus Democrats and how they do in these different races. But right now, and last thing is, again, on was Trump's base going to break from him or was Trump's voters? Because he has a lot more voters than he has base. Base is different than all of your voters. And so with independence, again, they got no dog in the fight.
01:08:30 They're not in the cult because they're independence, by definition, right? And so if you thought that Trump was going to be a disaster like we did, then you should have known that independence were going to break. But even the ones who did know, very, very few people who said that people would break from Trump, like I said, even we didn't know that it would be the size. If I said after the, I said after the election that people would, his voters would break from him. And everybody already piled on time, no, you're crazy, it's not going to happen, et cetera. If I had said back then, independence will be at a minus 57 for Trump right before the midterm elections. They would have run me out of town, right? They would have been tarred and feathered.
01:09:12 No, you've lost your mind. There's no way that's going to happen. But one of the things that people even on the left underestimated is how much of a disaster Donald Trump would be. And here at the Young Turks, we never underestimate how big a disaster Donald Trump is going to be. And by the way, wait until you get a little of the next two years. Because after, you know, after what should be an annihilation in the midterms, he's going to be unhinged. So buckle up. Exciting times.
01:09:44 I mean, he's already planning to expand the war and talking about dropping the motherball bombs in Iran, having all the gas and oil fields, utterly destroyed throughout the Middle East, which would be an epic disaster. Then you got the AI guys, and in the midst of that madness, and especially as the markets are crashing, Trump is going to be a dangerous guy. But the good news is hopefully, hopefully, and that's why election is so important, you're going to have enough people in Congress trying to figure out how to check them. And one last thing, guys, that's super important consequence of this election potentially, is that not only will there be more Democrats.
01:10:22 to rein him in, but Congress can't really rein them in too much unless they get to supermajorities, right? Impeachment is at two-thirds, not the impeachment itself with the conviction of the impeachment, right? But remember, if we're right and this polling holds up, after the Republicans get annihilated, the remaining Republicans will be like, well, I trusted Trump and now half my friends are gone, and I'm next. So now I got no reason to listen to Trump. is if I listen to Trump, I might be next.
01:10:54 And Trump's power is gonna recede rapidly. Yes. So cross your fingers at that point. By the way, not just that the polling is right, all you need is for the polling to be within 20 points. Right? For it to have a massive consequence in this election. Yeah. So that's what we're looking for here.
01:11:12 Yeah. All right, everybody check out damage report, 1 o'clock Eastern Monday through Friday. Wear your Dragon Squad shirts that you can get from shopTy.com and people will say hi to you in the middle of a jock. Okay. In the streets. And while you're at shoptyt.com, check out the free Palestine shirts that helps kids suffering in Palestine. All the profits go to them. Okay.
01:11:37 All right. All right. What contributions to the progressive cause are you most proud of? I mean, I don't have super high aspirations for a singular. role that I can play in the movement or anything. I just, I try to present myself as what I think that I am, which is a progressive man who is driven by a, I think, well interrogated and well-organized system of values that I try to stay consistent on, and I demonstrate that that's the sort of life that a person can lead. And be successful and be happy and all of that. And that should not
01:12:18 need to be done, but there are so many people on the right that are trying to push men in the opposite direction that I want to be able to do that. Along the way, if I can get people to care about some topics that not that they wouldn't necessarily care about, or that for some men, they might think that's not a topic that they should be focused on, that's definitely something that I relish doing. And along the way, I mean, we've been able to introduce people to a lot of candidates. That's been a big part of what we've done. You know, not all of them necessarily got in office.
01:12:48 Probably most of them did not. And a lot of them, you might not even remember their names. But it was great to be able to provide people the platform where they had the chance of, you know, making a difference. Obviously, AOC and all that. But there's been a lot of great people along the way. In the bonus episode for the members, we do some inside baseball. We're gonna look at John's desk.
01:13:19 Nice little spaceship here. Nerd. But it is kinda look cool. Who has Legos? Oh, no. He's taken apart a keyboard. Who has a mouse pad that's this big? He's got a dog with a nose that you can hang something like.
01:13:31 You know what this desk screams to me? Nerd. And that's how we like him. We love Johnny Fy. He's got his own personality like everybody does at TYT. Come meet us all in the bonus episodes. TYT.com slash team. David Soror.
01:13:45 Anita Turner. Is Adam Green Drop by? Charlamine. We're great to have you. It's great to be with you, Chang. Your show is a great thing. You're informing people. A lot of the shows that I live on.
01:13:54 You know, my CNN and my MSNBC and even Fox and any of the other shows, NPR. They are so quick to decide that they know what this building means today. The one thing that I hate that politicians do, you know, they talk about the people they should be talking to. Do they have any idea that they're their establishment and that they're hated? Or do they not realize that at all? People are so deeply in their little universe. I think it's very easy to not really question what you're doing.
01:14:21 Voters have a right to ask questions of any nominee, whether they're independent, Republican, or Democrat. The system is monopoly that suppresses competition. How is it the year 2024? And we're still like, maybe they'll talk about pain medical. How are we? How is that like at one level it's like, good, what we're talking about it now. You're like, it's 2024. And that's always been the critique, that your critique of us is, well, you guys give good speeches.
01:14:46 You put out good tweets, but you're not wielding actual power. Now we're starting to. My favorite news platform by far. It's not even close. It's not a country and a principle. And that's what you and I both work to achieve. And I'm so glad that at least half the battle has now been one. If you want to go really hear what's going on honestly, you should tune into the Young Turks.

01:16:49 How you doing, Sharon? I have missed you, Jank. How are you? Yeah, it's been a minute. I'm good, I'm good. Good to see you. Look well. Well, you look much better, but thank you.

And you make us stronger by doing that. But you could also do things that take like one second and help. Ring the bell, share and like the live stream, share and like any of our videos, because that helps get the message out. And these days, the algorithms are not overly friendly to us.
01:17:27 So the more you share and like, and the more you ring the bell, all of it takes about a second It's totally free. Helps us a lot, so we appreciate it. All right, let's go to our next story. Okay, here we go. To the issue of the Iraqi civilians. I think that as many of the missiles should survive as possible, because the goal of any military conflict is to kill as few people as possible.
01:17:52 But as to Osloid Hussein is henchmen, I think the ideal solution would be to cut off their fingers. I don't think it's necessary to kill them entirely. We're not a barbaric people. We respect to life. Therefore, torture is the way to go. Because torture people can live. Torture is a celebration of life and human dignity.
01:18:11 We need to remember that as we enter these very dark and dangerous times in the next century. I only hope that many of my peers and people who will be living in this country will appreciate the value and respect that torture shows towards other cultures. So that's Stephen Miller. he's now the second in charge in terms of staff at the White House. There was a story out earlier this week that he might become chief of staff, number one. And hey, look at that. In the White House, they're talking about executing people on live television who are in wheelchairs. And so that guy is so psychotic that even his own colleagues call him American Psycho.
01:18:53 So if you think all of that is bad. We knew all that already. Zateo has an expose that has a lot more. Sharon tells us about it. Yeah, his past classmates are talking jank. They knew the kid version of the shrieking far right cultists running the country now. Words and phrases like racist, dweeb and the ass, who never shuts up come up frequently from both left-leaning and more conservative former peers. And he hasn't changed.
01:19:25 If anything, he's become much, much worse, as he is now the one in charge when it comes to Trump's war on immigrants, Americans and general human decency, being dubbed America's shadow president and America's prime minister by many inside the Trump administration and MAGA movement. Very scary stuff. Miller, who serves as Trump's top policy architect and one of the president's most committed loyalist doesn't care about human life, the way you're you or I do. Former and current Trump administration officials who worked with him tells Tateo several of these sources actually quite like Miller. Still, the degree to which Miller does not care about or at least tolerates the loss of human lives in the pursuit of his and President Trump's policy vision has unnerved or disturbed some of his Republican colleagues, multiple Trump advisors and U.S. government officials recount.
01:20:23 One of the major things Miller has overseen on Trump's behalf is Trump's mass deportation operations, of course. That includes overseen what a Trump advisor described to Zateo as the administration's must deport list. When Miller has discussed behind closed doors, the administration's deportations to third countries where the immigrants have no ties. He has explicitly said that it is better to strike those agreements with nations with lousy human rights records, in part because those regimes often do what they're told by the United States, sources who've been in the room with him say. He has also allegedly pushed major U.S. cities to riot in the hopes of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act and sending military national guard troops to occupy those cities. enacting directives that ultimately led to the deaths of Renee Good and Alex
01:21:21 Freddie in Minnesota. Of course, Miller, nor Trump, for that matter, seem to care that these efforts specifically are what's causing his approval ratings or immigration, on immigration rather, in his numbers with Latino voters to absolutely plummet. Of course, immigrants aren't the only people Miller hates or has a vendetta against equal opportunity in this regard. Trump's deputy chief of staff has asked for repeated updates on what the U.S. government has done to target or investigate the activities of specific names big and small on his lengthy roster of enemies and so-called communist. According to a Republican source, he spoke with Sateo at times, Miller's inquiries have included questions about Cuba and Hassan Piker. But this is just a small part of the aggressive operations Miller's carrying out on Trump's behalf.
01:22:11 Over the first two years of the Trump Vance administration, Miller, has established himself firmly as the world's most influential, unelected bureaucrat. Despite his title, Deputy Chief of Staff, Miller's portfolio includes de facto management of various agencies and departments. The colossal damage Miller has already achieved will almost certainly outlasts this administration, maybe even Miller's own life and generation. And his tolerance for ramped up levels of death and violence is unsettling even to some of the senior MAGA policymakers and political hands who work alongside him to cement Trump's authoritarianism and personality cult. What a great guy, Janky's just where's the lie? It's amazing, though, that these people who are speaking out and telling these tales who work with him today are still comfortable. lunching with him, eating with him, working with him. Yeah.
01:23:14 So that is an amazing fact. They're like, oh yeah, Stevie Miller, he has no regard for human life. Yeah, he'll torture you, he'll get people murdered, deport them illegally. What a hoot Stephen Miller is. So it's not like these sources are swell people, right? So when they're telling you, yeah, but if you think we're bad, wait to get a load of Stephen Miller, I do believe them. And so we've all seen his horrific actions in front of the scenes to begin with.
01:23:49 But for Donald Trump, I think that no regard for human lives was not the bug, it was the feature. That's why Stephen Miller is one of the few guys who has had a huge role in the first Trump administration and the second Trump administration. And that's why he is potentially in line for chief staff if Susie Wiles is let go. And that's a scary thought to have a guy. I think chief of staff is the second most powerful person in the country. The vice president has really very, very little power.
01:24:24 Congress is a joke. But the chief of staff is a gatekeeper and the person who sets the agenda. If the person who sets the agenda for the whole nation and all of our policies is a psychopath, that's a problem. And now, Sharon, as it turns out, he's, it's a particular problem for my family, because he's got that musty port list, he's got his lengthy roster of enemies as you just read. And my nephew of San Piker is on that list, according to the reporting. And if you guys remember, Katie Miller in a debate I had with her on Pierce Morgan Show,
01:25:02 said that I should be deported. Now, why should I be deported? Because Katie Miller lost a debate to me on Pierce Morgan. Why? Why? He doesn't, they don't need a reason, because they're not interested in following the law. They're not interested in the U.S. Constitution. I don't even think they're interested in America. If Stephen Miller's the chief of staff, we are run 2,000 percent by the state of Israel. So, So Miller has been a massive advocate to say the least for Israel throughout this in both administrations. So, oh, great, a psychotic guy who has no regard for human life who's in favor of a
01:25:48 genocidal state. Well, golly gee, I can't see where things would go wrong, Sharon. Yeah, and it's something you said that made me even think harder. It is scary because it's the commencement. to the hatred and the killing and Israel and everything else. At all costs, Donald Trump loves to be loved. He wants to be like. He actually does care.
01:26:12 And as his approval ratings continue to plummet based off of these policies, they're still not, they're not pivoting. Even when they got rid of Christyneome and Mark Wayne Mullen came in, they didn't stop any of those immigration policies. They just did it more quietly. So the commitment to this overwhelming hatred marching forward, no matter what, is certainly to me the most scary. It's the scariest part. Yeah. I wonder where they would deport us. So I mean, I'm. Right. Right. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. So I know they can't deport us to the UK because we're already been there.
01:26:57 I mean, guys, look at how insane this is. So on Hassan, they say, well, he said very bad things. Wait, do we have a First Amendment or don't we? Because if you deport Hassan for what he has said, you're lighting the Constitution on fire. Freedom of speech doesn't protect popular speech, you don't need to protect popular speech. Hey, I like puppies and flowers. Nobody's gonna deport you for that or put you in prison. Nobody has to take that right away from you.
01:27:24 If you say controversial things, that's what the First Amendment protects. And the First Amendment is the very core of our country. And these lunatics are talking about deporting people for what they said. And then on me, they can't even point out what I've said that that's a problem. They're just like, we don't like you. And if we don't like you, who cares about US laws and constitution and rights? But remember guys, if they take our American rights away, that means they've taken your American rights away.
01:27:56 There is no thing where you go, oh yeah, some Americans get to have rights based on whether we'd like them or not, and other Americans don't have rights. No, you either all citizens have rights or we, none of us have rights. So these guys are, yeah, you can say, if Stephen Miller's a psycho and he wants to go use our money and our military to murder more people in the Middle East, maybe some of you can live with it, but now a lot of us, not just the left, not just the independence, but But even a lot of the right is beginning to say, I don't know that that's a good use of my money, let alone the fact that, hey, I just remembered I'm pro-life.
01:28:32 And a lot of Republicans now are remembering that they're pro-life. And they're like, so we want to put a psycho in charge that wants to just kill people on behalf of Israel in the Middle East. I don't think that's a pro-life position. And even if I didn't mind you doing that, I don't know why you're doing that with my money. country are we serving and then you're gonna light the constitution on fire because someone beat your wife in a debate on air? Nah.
01:29:03 So I don't know how this movie ends, Sharon, but yeah, they're definitely dangerous and primarily because they don't believe in the concept of America. They don't even like this country, they want to serve a different country. But even if you gave them that they don't mind America, they certainly might. our rights and they certainly mind our Constitution. They kind of hate it. And those guys, after the midterms, my guess is Susie Wiles will go. And if I had to guess who would become the chief of staff, I would guess Stephen Miller.
01:29:34 And at that point, Trump will be deeply unpopular. And when he's deeply unpopular, he will continue to dig. He will not try to get out of that hole. He'll dig deeper. The guy to dig deeper with is Stephen Miller. Will they do unhinged things? Almost certainly, maybe against my family in particular, probably. So that's what apparently I have to look forward to.
01:29:57 Great. Yeah, I hope it doesn't happen. But when I saw that debate, I knew then that you're on a list. You're definitely, because they never take the opportunity to, let's pivot. We'll get back to him. You are on a list. They will always, always go for it, no matter what, the consequence. That's what'll happen.
01:30:22 He'll go out in a blaze of glory too. I predict that Donald Trump and Stephen Miller will, they will not retreat. Yeah, being on Stephen Miller's enemies list is an enormous point of pride. And being on Israel's enemies list, those are both dangerous things, very dangerous, because both of those entities at this point are a bit psychotic. But nevertheless, I'm proud to be on their enemies list. That means we fought against a genocide. That means we fought for America and American rights.
01:30:56 I hope I'm at the top of that list. Okay, let's stay here for a second. Let's go to our next story. All right, Jenk, this one's called. Who do you think is a bigger threat to the United States? Israel or Iran, you have 60 seconds. And again, Rick, I'm just going to say that that's a ridiculous hypothetical, because here's what's happening right now.
01:31:15 I'll ask one last time, Israel or Iran. That's again, a ridiculous question. I think both of them have proven dangerous in their own way. One at risk of attacking us, one getting us into wars. We have no business fighting. All right, a lot of people looked at that and said, gee, that should be a pretty easy answer. What would your answer have been? Iran is our enemy.
01:31:37 Israel is not. They're an ally, so that's pretty clear to me. My answer would have been Zionist donors, I will serve Israel. Israel's no problem, they're one of a special ally. Oh, it's Pete Buttigieg, she's back. But Sharon, as we explain the rest of the story, I will say, I actually don't think it's a ridiculous question. I don't agree with Abdul El-Said.
01:32:03 I think it's a legitimate question. And I have an answer for it. They're not going to like it, but tell us the rest of the story first. Okay, we'll give you more. But first, Jen, we're going to show you the full clip of Abdul-El-Said that Buttigieg was reacting to. Things are bigger threat to the United States. Israel or Iran, you have 60.
01:32:27 And again, Rick, I'm just going to say that that's a ridiculous hypothetical. Because here's what's happening right now. Our ostensible ally in Israel has lobbied us to go to war with Iran. We have watched as Iran has responded by bombing all kinds of countries in the Middle East and then choking off the world's energy supply. So this is a situation in which I don't think we should be a part. I don't want to be pushed into war by Israel, and I don't want to be in a war with Iran. I want our money spent here to buy schools and health care and child care here.
01:33:02 I don't understand why that is so inconceivable. I don't consider an ally a country that takes us to wars we don't need to fight, and I don't want to be fighting wars we don't need to fight. I just think that makes both of them kind of dangerous. I'll ask one last time, Israel or Iran? That's a, again, a ridiculous question. I think both of them have proven dangerous in their own way. One at risk of attacking us, one getting us into wars.
01:33:26 We have no business fighting. Now let's hear more from Pete Buttigieg. Iran is our enemy. Israel is not. They're an ally. So that's pretty clear to me. Look, what I also know is that voters, my neighbors in Michigan, the packed room I just spoke to in Kalamazoo moments ago, are looking at this race and asking, how is it going to affect
01:33:51 my life. And what they're seeing is costs have gone through the roof because of President Trump's policies that Mike Rogers supports. Why do you think that was a hard question for El Sayyad to answer the way you just did? I'm not sure. And look, there is no candidate, and for that matter, no human being that I agree with 100% of the time. But I will be voting for Abdul Al-Said over Mike Rogers because he wants to get health care to more Americans while Mike Rogers repeatedly voted to cut health care for Americans, tried to cut and eliminate the Affordable Care Act, and would be part of a congressional GOP that broke its promise and cut Medicaid. So the choice to me could not be clearer.
01:34:34 Something else that's clear. Despite the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Buttigieg has refused to meaningfully criticize Israel. He just hasn't done it. And he's failed to recognize the basic humanity of Palestinians. Here's a clip from about a year ago. Many of the people who have taken that step historically have done so for different reasons than what we see happening with European countries. I think we need to step back and we need to do whatever it takes to ensure that there is a real two-state solution and that no one, not even the likes of Netanyahu, can veto the international community's commitment to a two-state solution where you have Palestinians and Israelis living with safety, with security, with rights, I believe that can happen, but we have to actually show some commitment to it.
01:35:23 So that's Buttigieg. Meanwhile, El-Said is not backing down. Asked during an interview with MS Now, whether his objections were to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government or to the state of Israel itself. El-Said suggested his opposition went further than current leadership. I mean, I think we've got to get serious, right? Netanyahu is one part of it, but the Israeli military has done heinous things, like heinous things, full war crimes, genocide. So I think we got to just get serious about whether or not we as a country should be subsidizing that government. But right now that government has done terrible things with our money in their name. They pulled us into a war. We had no business fighting.
01:36:11 So to me, an ally is somebody who cares about you and you care about them. I don't think they care about us. That's what I've seen. It makes him polarizing, but it also makes those who support and understand, love him even more. That he's a principled man. He's running, obviously, for the Senate, but he's not going to backtrack at all to gain votes. He's going to keep speaking truth to power, Chang. Yeah, so now let me give some surprising credit all around, and then get to how I would have answered. So first on Buttigieg, well, at least the brother's trying. I told you that they would, in an effort to appear to be populist, they would start to dress
01:36:55 down, maybe wear plaid shirts, and you saw in that earlier clip, he's dressed down, and his idea of populism is as much facial hair as he can get. Okay, so he's trying, he's trying. Number two, he's changed his words, he used to say he cohabitates with Republicans in Michigan. Now he's figured out the word humans use is neighbors. My neighbors in Michigan, there you go, Pete. He's learning at least, he's a good student. So, but in all seriousness, at least he's back here, Abdul O'Sahid.
01:37:28 So and I appreciate that. And if you guys don't know what happened behind the scenes, you probably saw some of it on your TV screens and we explained it to you guys. In the beginning, right before, like in the beginning of the primary, they ignored Abdul, when Hassan went to go campaign, Hassan Piker went to go campaign with him. Then they attacked him that backfired spectacularly and catapulted him from third to first because they accidentally let everybody know that Abdul is the one that does not want to finance Israel anymore.
01:37:56 That's a very popular position in Michigan and not just with Muslims in Michigan, in all of Michigan. And so then they tried to dislodge him right before the primary. They couldn't succeed in that. And when I say they, I'm talking about Democrats, establishment Democrats like Pete Buttigieg, Neartan, and others. So, and then after he won the primary, Democrats tried one more time. They had about a dozen Democrats go all over cable news, not just Fox News, but CNN, MS down. They're like, oh, Abdul al-Sai is a real problem.
01:38:24 Osamaika or Osamaika, oh, real problem. More Democrats went on to attack Abdullah al-Saeed than Republicans. So, and that's because they serve Israel. And why is all of, like the Buddha judges and all of them kiss Israel's ass 24-7 when they're in the middle of a genocide? It's not because they don't have the ability to form coherent cognitive thoughts. Buttigieg is a very smart guy, whether you like him or don't like him. No, it's guys, this is what the rest of media never reports.
01:38:57 The rest, mainly mainstream media online, we all reported. But they are obsessed with their donors. They think money is the answer, money wins elections. So 95% of their efforts, both off air and on air, is to appease the donors. That's why they're like, Israel is a wonderful ally. We love Israel, Israel, Israel, why? Because massive Democratic donors, the largest Democratic donors are pro-Israel. And if you're not pro-Israel, they'll pull all your funding.
01:39:31 But remember, guys like Buttigieg, their source of power is the money. For guys like Bernie Sanders, AOC, Rokana, their source of power is the grassroots and the voters. And so, and they don't take corporate PAC money, they don't take foreign government money, so they're free to actually say things that are popular, that their voters want. But the bootages of the world are tied at the feet to their donors. Without the donor's money, they have nothing. They have nothing at all. Well, they have mainstream media still on their side.
01:40:04 But that second push, even after he won the primary, didn't work. And so now it appears with Buttigieg, and you might not know near her tenure, she's kind of an irrelevant person in the real world. But in Washington, since she runs some Democratic think tanks, people know her. And since she's kind of an avatar for establishment ass kissers of corporations and foreign governments, people pay a smidge of attention to her in D.C. and she hates all progressives, populist, outsiders, and she tries to bury all Democratic candidates that are in that camp, and she's known for that.
01:40:40 But even talking to Medi Hassan recently, she also was like, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, you should vote for Abdul al-Said. So okay, great, the establishment realizes right before an election, if we tell everyone to vote for the Republican, they're gonna be on to us. It's gonna be a mask off moment. We tried 12 different times to defeat this guy on behalf of. of Israel, it failed. So at the end, we're telling you, no, no, I mean, I've got issues with Abdul, but
01:41:08 go ahead and vote for Abdul. But hey, you know what? I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll always take yes for an answer. So now moving on to the moderator, I thought he actually asked a couple of good questions there. Moderators are usually not people I give a lot of compliments to because as you saw in the
01:41:24 New York mayor's race, the moderators were like, are you going to Israel? Are you going to Israel? Are you going to Israel? Are you going to serve Israel? Wait a minute, New York City is not in Israel, it's in America, right? So moderators are usually horrible, but usually establishment guys who are trying to skew and frame the debate in favor of the establishment, the status quo, et cetera. But this guy, before this question, he asked the question, or at one point in the debate,
01:41:47 he asked a question of Mike Rogers, you said you would serve Israel unconditionally. Is there anything Israel could do that would get you to not give them what they want? That's a terrific question, almost never gets asked, right? And that is a stunning thing to say that you will serve a foreign nation unconditionally if you win our nation's seat in the Senate, our Senate. It's unbelievable. And this question is a very challenging question, but I think it's fair. And of course, Abdul doesn't want that question, because it's a hard question.
01:42:23 It's a trap, I know that it's a trap. If you say Israel's more dangerous than Iran, the whole place is going to go nuts and they're going to, and every media outlet would cover it. And in fact, the fact that he didn't answer it in their mind clearly enough, they all attacked them anyway. The rest of the media, you know how many people talked about the question about how Mike Rogers would serve Israel unconditionally? My last count is zero, zero. Even though that's an amazing, stunning thing to say, the rest of the media is like, of course, how dare you? Of course you serve Israel unconditionally. What a ridiculous question, right?
01:42:56 So they didn't cover that one at all. But this one, they're swarming. They're like, oh, this could hurt Abdul. This could help beloved Israel attack, attack, attack, right? So I get why Abdul didn't give the correct answer. But he still gave a strong answer. A weak answer. So credit to the moderator, credit to Buttigieg, now credit to Abdul.
01:43:16 He was strong enough to not buckle and say, oh, Iran, of course. Iran is a dangerous enemy, terrible, and Israel's an ally. He didn't give the Buttigieg answer. No, he's stuck to his guns and he's like they're both dangerous in different ways and that is correct Now Sharon if I was given that question My answer is oh, it's not even close if we're not talking about What is a more dangerous regime overall? I would still say Israel Easily we're not talking about the most dangerous regime to their own people
01:43:49 That's an interesting question that one might be a wrong But we're talking about what is more dangerous to America. Well, Iran didn't infiltrate our government. Iran hasn't taken over $300 billion from us. Iran didn't drive us into seven wars that cost us $8 trillion. Iran didn't drive us into this disastrous war that's now destroying our economy. I just saw this today. I didn't even know this.
01:44:19 So Israel has the Israeli lobby given to 94% of Congress. You guys know that. That's only because you watch the young person. Literally no other show talks about it. Israel is the number one donor to all of our presidents, et cetera. Media never covered, in fact, they cover that up. So you guys know all that. You know that the media loves Israel, serves Israel.
01:44:39 I can get into the facts as to why and how, but we only have a limited time. But what's interesting that I didn't know until I found out recently is Israel buys our generals too. They also buy the evangelical pastors. They give them free trips, free this, free that. And then when they come back from Israel, they're like, oh yeah, the Bible says, the only thing the Bible cares about is protecting and funding Israel. A bunch of sellouts, pretending to be Christians and pretending to be pastors. But now I found out about the generals. There's 98 generals, former generals of the United States military, that are now on Israel's payroll. And they all know if you give Israel everything they want when you're inside the
01:45:19 Pentagon, you're inside the U.S. military, Israel will then pay you after you retire. That is outrageous. Did Iran infiltrate our military that way? No. Did Iran propose a bill that our Congress is so bought, they didn't even vote on, they just passed it without voting, destroying our democracy? Did Iran, and what was that bill to merge our military? Why would we merge our military with any country? Why would we merge it with Nicaragua or Turkey or Thailand, that doesn't make any sense. Iran didn't do that to us. Israel did that to us. So for the purposes, and in fact, Iran, the reason when they say, oh, you know, we've been
01:46:00 at war with them for 47 years is because the last time Iran did something bad to us was 47 years ago. And that 47 years, Israel has pulverized this country. Look, we're in $40 trillion of debt, and eight of those, at a minimum, is fighting Israel's wars. No, Iran didn't do any of that to us. Israel did that to us. And to this moment, Israel still controls and occupies Washington, D.C. That is a billion times more dangerous than Iran. That's the correct answer. You don't think that the answer you just gave, the way the electorate has evolved and now understands more and more people about the danger of Israel that Elsaid could
01:46:43 have given that answer. Don't you think he could have given that answer? So Sharon, that is a great question. If I didn't like it, I'd be like, that's a ridiculous hypothetical. No, seriously, that's a great question. And no, I don't think you could have given that answer. I'm being honest, in this political atmosphere with this little time before the election, if he'd given the answer I just gave, every single media outlet in the country, that's all they would cover for the next two to three weeks.
01:47:14 Abdullah Syed's a terrorist, Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, Muslim, Muslim, Muslim, how dare he, beloved Israel, terrible, terrible, terrible. He loves Iran, loves Iran, loves Iran, loves Iran. Because you have to know the context that you're in. He's running a race with only a limited amount of time left, and his number one opponent is not Mike Rogers. Mike Rogers is a loser. He keeps losing elections, he's done only one debate, he hides from all the interviews,
01:47:43 He's just a pathetic kind of person and candidate. No, that's not his number one opponent. His number one opponent is national media. Legacy media despises Abdul al-Said because of his opposition to Israel. And they are chomping at the bit to destroy him in any way they can. So I wouldn't have given them fodder. I think that he was smart in giving the answer that he did. And still courageous enough not to just reflexively say Iran and Israel's our ally, etc.
01:48:10 But the answer I gave is an answer you can give in the presidential campaign that's coming up. And by the time, number one, you have a lot longer period of time in a presidential campaign to make your case. So you're not just going to get sworn by mainstream media. You're going to get the fight back, right? And so there's going to be a big, long race, 12 to 15 months. And secondly, by the time we vote in the beginning, in the primaries, in the beginning of 28, what I just said will be super obvious to an overwhelming majority of Americans.
01:48:43 And no matter how much our media dutifully, loyally serves Israel, it won't matter. So all of their attacks will only help the candidate who says the correct answer that I just gave. Hey, you're right. I watched MS now do focus groups in Michigan with Jewish and black voters and stunning what they asked. And who perhaps was selected for those focus groups. So we'll see, not much time left. Yeah, they literally, and this is supposed to be the left wing channel.
01:49:15 They pre-selected 10 African Americans that were against Abdul al-Said, even though 76% of African Americans in Michigan are in favor of Abdul al-Said. I mean, you want to talk about cheating, you want to talk about skewing the results. I mean, they're the least objective people on planet Earth. And MS now is probably the worst of all the channels because they're the ones pretending to be on the left while they knife the left in the back over and over and over again. And then they, Jewish voters are tiny, like around 2% of the voters in Michigan. They found 10 Jewish voters who are Democrats to say, oh no, I can't vote for Abdul.
01:49:50 Abdul is so radical and outrageous. And then they do the leading questions of how bad is Abdul al-Said? No, no, no, the media just, they can't believe that any American would have the temerity to criticize their beloved Israel. And that's gonna catch up with mainstream media, because by the end of the 2028 elections, not only is someone on our side going to win, but mainstream media will be absolutely pulverized because they'll do a full mask off moment. If you think this is mask off, wait till you get to 2028, they will all attack the same
01:50:26 candidate on the Democratic side, 24-7, and they will drop all pretenses at objectivity, which they pretty much already drop, but they won't be a shred of it less. and everyone in the country will know that they're serving Israel because they will take the anti-Israel candidate and spend all of their time trying to destroy him while pretending to be objective. So you'll see it plain as, because why they can't help themselves. Even though they know that that's walking off a cliff, at this point over two thirds of Americans don't like Israel. But the media is like, no, we are owned by radical Zionists. Our job literally depends on us kissing Israel's ass and attacking any American politician who would dare to disagree. So they won't, they'll reveal themselves perfectly.
01:51:16 And by the end of 2028, almost no one in the country will believe that people on cable news are actually in the news business. They'll all know that they're doing propaganda for the establishment and for Israel. All right. We've got to take a quick break here. We'll be right back. All right, let's go to Super Chat. Make it make sense, says journalists reportedly severely beaten by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, Heidi Levine, an American photojournalists suffered fractures and other injuries during the legist assault near Ramallah. That is true, that's the next story we're going to cover.
01:52:12 And yeah, they're Israeli terrorists. Don't care about Americans, don't they care about journalists. They'll kill anyone. Free meatballs and Linguini says, I feel like the worst Trump's poll numbers are, the more likely Dems are to force Buttigieg Nusim on us in 28. No, no, no matter what happens, the Democrats are going to try to force Buttigiegne on you. But this time around, I think it'll be a spectacular failure.
01:52:35 Let's see who's writing. James Kelly says, the Zionist blockade is breaking. I think we're going to see more of this happening, which is probably why the new memo from them called the US a failing superpower. Yeah, the Israel is super pissed that their Zionist propaganda isn't working as well in America, so they're starting to say, America's a failing superpower anyway. Ha, ha, America, we took your money in your military. And now you're failing.
01:52:59 We don't need you. We're going to India. Hey, India, do you hate Muslims? We hate Muslims. Let's attack Muslims together. Okay, that's literally what's happening. CDN North Dogdad says, hashtag always remember when hashtag orange clown says, people are telling me or people are saying, the people are, hashtag dimension-induced auditory and visual,
01:53:21 in his short-circuiting brain, not real people. That is very fair and true. Deborah Sire 1 on X says, free Palestine, free America. Here, here, exactly right. Free America first. We'll be back. Back on T.I.T. Chang and sharing with you guys, limited time left, so let's jump right to the next story.
01:54:09 Hey. I can't. They took all my stuff. Get it, get it, get up, get it. It took everything. It took everything. It's okay, it's okay. It took all my stuff.
01:54:21 It's okay. You're okay? No, no. No. Come, come, come, run, run, run. Come on, run, run, run, run. You have to run. I can't.
01:54:34 I can't. I can't. That's a veteran journalist for the Washington Post. She's an American, and Israeli settlers nearly beat her to death. Fractored bones, we've got a lot more on the story. And she was saying if you didn't hear it in that video, let me die. So these settlers don't care if you're an American. They certainly don't care if you're a reporter.
01:55:01 And they really don't care about anything other than murdering anyone who isn't a Zionist in the West Bank so they could steal all of it. Sharon's got the whole story. Yeah, Jenk on Friday, Heidi Levin was covering the olive harvest in the West Bank when a mob of Israeli settlers turned on her, viciously beating her. She says they beat her for more than 10 minutes, stole her passport, her phone, her wallet. her camera gear. And the Washington Post says she was clearly marked as press. Meaning they knew she was a journalist. They did it anyway. Or perhaps because she is a journalist, chronicling and documenting. Here's more. And now we're being to our guests.
01:55:54 They're right next to the settlers. The settlers are behind them. There they are, masked with sticks. So the settlers attacked the Palestinians while they were harvesting olives, beaten journalists half to death, through rocks, fired live ammunition, set fires to the olive fields, and then the army invaded, watched the settlers do that, and shot a Palestinian. From her hospital bed, here's what else, Lavin said. I was attacked, pushed to the ground.
01:56:34 Luckily, I had my flack jacket and helmet otherwise. I probably wouldn't even be here because they just kept kicking and kicking me. She says the beating only stopped when her Palestinian colleagues pulled the settlers off of her. And this isn't a one-off folks. The Foreign Press Association says it's the latest in a long line of settler attacks on journalists and that their calls for Israeli authorities to act have been ignored. So how did Netanyahu's government respond? Well, as you might expect, his office said the facts were quote unclear and blamed 200 Arabs and far left activists for confronting Israeli youths.
01:57:16 They added that they condemn violence against anyone. And the US embassy asked about an American journalist beaten nearly to death said it was quote, aware of reports and declined to comment further. Here's the bigger picture. Levin was not a random target here. That's clear. She was standing in the middle of a coordinated settler campaign to run Palestinians off of their land and their harvest. It is surging right before Israel's elections at the end of October. On Friday alone, mass settlers with clubs attack Palestinians in eight villages, at least 20 people hurt. Near Ramallah, about 80 settlers. Some armed, slung rocks and farmers in plain view.
01:58:01 of Israeli military vehicles. And when Palestinians picked up rocks to defend themselves, the military fired tear gas at the Palestinians. That is the pattern. Rights groups describe over and over the soldiers protect the settlers and only step in when Palestinians dare to fight back. It is exactly what Heidi Levin walked into. And the scale is staggering.
01:58:28 Israeli rights group Yeshdin counts at least 100 170 settler attacks since late September. At least four Palestinians killed, more than 100 injured, thousands of olive trees damaged in a single month. And the government isn't just looking away. Israel barred Palestinians from harvesting most of their own farmland without military approval, 30% increase in off-limits land while giving Israeli citizens access to even more.
01:58:59 British government calls it ethnic cleansing. The UN says the settlements driving it are illegal. Netanyahu says it's just about 100 bad settlers, but they almost never face consequences, even when it's on video. Under Netanyahu, the settlements have only, of course, exploded, Jack. Yeah, so it's important that you understand that we fund these terrorists. We finance their terrorism. And you saw them, that's not unclear, they're obviously terrorists.
01:59:31 Now why do you think Israel murdered so many journalists in Gaza, over 240 more journalists killed there than all other combat in the world combined? Because Israel is targeting the journalists. They murdered an American journalist, Shrine Abu Ackle, she's one of the top journalists in the Middle East, and she's an American citizen, and they shot her in the neck when she had a helmet on in the press thing. And this was before October 7th, when the Palestinians were doing a peaceful protest, the Israelis murdered anyone walking up to the wall and any journalist covering it, including Abakli.
02:00:07 And by the way, they've never arrested anyone for her murder. The US government in CNN acknowledged that they murdered her, they assassinated her, and we haven't asked them to arrest anyone over it. And they won't because they're above the law, and they have no regard for Americans. They borderline despise Americans, they look down on us, they think we're the stupid suckers, that they're ripping off and we're so dumb, we can't even fight back. And so that's why they treat our journalists, our citizens with incredible disdain. So in this case, Heidi Levine is 65 years old.
02:00:44 By the way, she happens to be a Jewish-American. And they're like, oh, you're even Jewish. We don't care. We don't care about anything. All we care about is, are you a fascist like us? If you're not a Zionist, we don't care about you. In fact, a think tank in Israel, very connected to the government, put out a policy paper this week that we covered earlier in the week.
02:01:10 And among the despicable things that they said was, including that America's a failing power, they're the guys who said that and backed by the Israeli government, they said, we don't want any liberal Jews in Israel. You have to be a right wing fascist in order to apparently like or love Israel now. So they have no boundaries. By the way, these wonderful Jewish American journalists going to the West Bank and risking their health, their safety, and their lives to do this. I mean, Heidi Levine, Jasper Nathaniel, who's a guy that's constantly in the middle of all
02:01:48 this and recording it, he was on the Young Turks earlier, and he's showing the world what the reality of the settler violence looks like. So I can't thank them enough, they're the bravest, most amazing journalists, and we appreciate them. Now, but the rest of US media, whenever they see this, A, they're always shocked. What do you mean? The beloved, precious, beautiful Israel, how could they do this? I'm not kidding, guys.
02:02:22 When you see American reporting, it's so comically biased, it's so absurdly obvious propaganda for Israel that you think they must already know it. There must be a memo, they wrote and they told them you have to serve it. No, no, no, there are no memos. It's not a conspiracy. The people who own those networks are almost universally radical Zionists. So they hire people just like them and people who think just, and the people, those people people, I think just like them. People are preselected and propagandized internally. So by the time
02:02:55 you're a reporter or an anchor on television, you have no idea that you were picked to be a patsy, to be someone who didn't ask questions, didn't question the government, our government, the Israeli government, didn't question the establishment, the system, and you just regurgitated the propaganda they put in the prompter. So that's why when they see Israel who they have been taught and believed is wonderful doing these evil acts. They're genuinely shot. Now, do they then cover it? No, no, no, no.
02:03:24 It gets buried right away. Rokana, US Congressman was attacking the West Bank. And the media did cover that one, but derisively, like, what was he doing in the West Bank anyway? What is a stupid photo up? How dare he, right? Including MS now, right? The left wing channel. No, they all piled on that it was Rokana's fault for getting attacked.
02:03:48 But then when their own journalists started getting intact, CNN crew got attacked and NBC news crew got attacked. When the NBC news crew got attacked, that's when for the first time, the rest of the media was like, whoa, what is going on? But do we love Israel? Why are they attacking us? Because they're fascists, fascists have no bounds. You think they know or care that you're NBC news and you've been kissing their ass for the last 50, 60 years?
02:04:12 They don't care. And so Sharon, as usual though, was this headline news all over cable news? Washington Post reporter attacked by vicious settlers. And by the way, one of the worst parts of this is that the Israeli soldiers come and they help the settlers attack the reporters and attack the Palestinian citizens. So that's who Israel is. And of course our media is, even after they themselves. are viciously attacked.
02:04:44 They will not cover this for days. Remember when Khashoggi was killed? They covered it for years, right, by Saudi Arabia. Shereen Abaklis murdered by the Israelis, no coverage. One news crew after another after another gets attacked by the Israelis. Tiny bit of coverage. Move on, move on, move on, move on, right? Am I seeing it wrong, or are you seeing the same thing I'm seeing?
02:05:08 No, I'm seeing the same thing. By the way, I watched all day. I bedged out and watched cable news and I did know none of it is there. And it's worse to me, you know, I don't think that Ms. Levine was there and just happened to be in the wrong place, wrong time, you know, and just got caught up in it. I actually believe that the journalists are targeted, just like Trump targets journalists here with the goal being to get the coverage under control. And even as the media protest ensues, the coverage is not what it should be even now. And I do think that there's great interest in shutting these, in this case a liberal Jewish fine journalists and American journalists, shutting them down, making them think twice about documenting this.
02:05:52 We would never see it if it wasn't for her and Nathaniel. We wouldn't see these things. Yeah, last two things here. I mean, look at this irony. The propaganda of mainstream media is that, oh, no, no, you guys are attacking them just because it's a Jewish state. Meanwhile, in reality, in the real world, we're defending the Jewish journalists and Israel's attacking them. So they, I told you from day one, they're hiding behind Jewish civilians to do the fascism
02:06:22 that Israel wants. But last thing is really important guys, why are they even attacking the olive fields? Because they're trying to make the West Bank uninhabitable for the Palestinians. That's why they put people in ovens, a little fact you can look it up in back in 1948, because they wanted to scare and intimidate the Palestinians so much that they run for their lives. That's why they're hunting down Palestinian kids in the West Bank. They're stalking people near the bathrooms, they're beating people viciously, they're burning people alive, and they're attacking anyone that comes to the West Bank, but most importantly,
02:06:57 they're destroying the fields so they can't earn a living. And if they can't earn a living, they have to leave. And that's called ethnic cleansing. So there's a genocide going on in the West Bank as well. But as usual, of course, you wouldn't know it because our media absolutely refuses to cover bad news about Israel, because then you might find out that they're fascist terrorists who are taking our money to do their terrorism against even Americans. And our government is letting them get away with it.
02:07:27 In fact, enabling it by sending our money to them. to terrorize us. So that's the reality on the ground and they're gonna keep burning those olive fields, they're gonna keep attacking the Palestinians and murdering them until we stop funding them and enabling their worst instincts and their disgusting terrorism. So that's the state of affairs today. All right, Sharon, thank you so much. Appreciate you, have a great weekend. Thank you, Jay. And everybody check out Sharon on Rebel HQ as well and on the indisputable where she often hosts. Okay, when I come back, give you a little revolution.
02:08:03 See how you like it. For the revolution, I'm your host, Jane Huger. Let's get a little speculative. I'll start with facts and then I'll get the speculation. So Elon Musk has, well, first we heard was that he put in over $330 million in the midterms. And that came, that news came out of during the early part of this weekend. It's a bit shocking because it just came out of nowhere. Usually people work up to it and, you know, big donor might put in $25 million.
02:10:37 million dollars, some of the biggest donors ever like the Edelson's sometimes will put in a hundred million dollars in a cycle and that was considered record breaking. And then I was like, oh yeah, here's $330 million. And now we find out two different things. Number one, it might be over $500 million. A half a billion dollars on midterm elections. That's a red flag. So we'll come back to that red flag in a second.
02:11:03 But it turns out he's even put in about a hundred. 176 million to Texas Senate race alone on the mutant Ken Paxton. Why does he care so much about that one race and why does he care enough to put a half a billion dollars into these midterm elections? My guess now, so those are the facts, now we move to speculation. My guess is that he's super worried he's gonna get caught. And he needs not just Republicans, but the most corrupt Republicans in office. So Ken Paxton's corruption is not a bug, it's the feature for Elon Musk.
02:11:51 He's like, well, if I have a regular old politician, you know, maybe they listen to me after I grease them, but maybe they don't. And these days the Democrats won't listen to me. And a regular Republican might, but, oh, Ken Paxton, that's a guy I could rely on. If you pay him, Ken Paxton will do anything you want. And that's partly why Donald Trump chose to not endorse him over John Cornyn, both for Trump and Musk, it's attractive how corrupt Ken Paxton is. And we told you about Ken Paxton's corruption earlier in the week.
02:12:27 There's a thousand instances of it, but he also recently got caught. on tape from 2024, I believe, being in Dubai with his mistress and two fugitives from the law from America. He's the Attorney General of Texas. He's supposed to fight crime. Instead, he was abroad with international criminals wanted by the American justice system, and he was partying with them, along with his mistress. And we told you about how he's bought all these properties in different places like Utah and Hawaii.
02:13:02 In one of his properties in Hawaii, five years ago, he bought it for $410,000. Today, it's on the market for $1.2 million. A 300% return. Who did he buy that property from? Who did he buy the other properties from? How low did they sell those properties, knowing their actual market value was so much. higher, that is a very easy way to do corruption and to hide that corruption. So Elon Musk is like, corruption, obvious blatant forms of it, stove top, I'm staying.
02:13:42 Such an old reference. Does anybody remember that commercial from the 80s? You do, Bart? Okay, nice. So he's like, yeah, that's exactly what I want. I'll put in almost $200 million to get a guy that corrupt. And remember, a lot of his businesses are based in Texas. So he needs a dirty attorney general to make sure he never regulates Elon Musk, never
02:14:02 looks at anything that he's doing wrong in Texas. If there's an honest senator from Texas, that's going to be a huge problem for Elon Musk. So that's my guess as to why he is spending so spectacularly in Texas in particular and in these midterms. Now, all the facts about Ken Paxton and the money that Elon Musk gave are real objective facts. verified them and covered them on the show. My speculation is about their motives, right? So now Elon is not just doing Tesla and SpaceX and Starlink, et cetera, but he's now trying to build in one of the largest AI companies along with everybody else in Silicon Valley.
02:14:48 And they believe that in the next couple of years, one of these AI companies are going to win. And the win will be so dramatic that they will be able to dominate the rest of the world. Because they believe that the AI systems can basically take over almost all of the internet and the computers that we have. By the way, potentially the banks, and hence, poof, there goes all our money. It's at least at the leisure of one executive to decide what to do with all of our bank accounts. And they might be able to get into the weapon systems. And if you get into everybody's weapon systems, you're now king of the world. A little bit literally.
02:15:37 And so that's what that race in Silicon Valley is about. And so I read reports that that's how they're thinking. We brought on Naomi Klein. Earlier in the week, she wrote a book about some of the tech end timers and gave us an insight into their worldview, which is basically very similar to what I just described. So if you thought that in the next couple of years, your out of control AI program could take over the world, what wouldn't you pay to make sure you had friendly politicians inside the U.S. government?
02:16:16 If you think about it that way, then a half a billion dollars makes a lot more sense. Those AI companies people believe are worth trillions of dollars, not billions, but trillions. Now, I happen to think that they're going to be involved in a spectacular crash, and they're going to destroy our economy and the world economy, and people are going to be super pissed at the Elon Musk and the Sam Altman's and the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world. But we're not there yet. Right now, they're in a race to dominate. And I think that's why he's spending so much money.
02:16:51 But this goes of course to the very core of why we need a political revolution. Some one guy, any guy, can give hundreds of millions of dollars to a politician and that's not bribery. Do you think that Ken Paxton isn't going to work for Elon Musk if he wins that Senate seat? Are you really that naive? No, Ken Paxton would never do that. that he's such a swell guy. These politicians are so honorable, even if someone spends hundreds of millions of dollars on them, they would never return the favor.
02:17:31 Come on, I mean, the only people who think that are the morons in mainstream media. And they have to be in the single digits in IQ points to get a job. But the rest of us know, Ken Paxton will be Elon Musk's loyal servant if he wins that Texas Senate seat. Guys, they make it super clear, they even say it out loud. So in Michigan, for example, Mike Rogers, after finally getting A-PAC to spend a lot of money in his election before he's like, don't spend early. They'll find out that I'm on your side and your side is super unpopular. But I really want to get all your money and win the election and then let you walk me around like a dog on a leash.
02:18:16 And I'll swear I'll do anything I want. Now guys, you're saying, well, that sounds like hyperbole right? No, a literal fact, when he finally took the APAC money, he said publicly that he would serve Israel unconditionally. By the way, if you take APAC money, they make you sign a pledge saying that you'll serve Israel unconditionally. 94% of our Congress has taken money from the Israeli lobby. So the donors are 100% in charge, not just Israel, Elon Musk is in Israel, and Elon
02:18:47 Musk is in charge of the people he gives money to. Mary Madelson is, Exxon Mobil is, and all the donor class. Look, big sugar is super powerful in Florida. And so just the sugar industry is able to legally bribe all the politicians in Florida and have them serve purely their interests and not your interest. That's not so sweet. Okay, dad jokes all day all night. Okay, so this system is screwing us in every imaginable way.
02:19:29 It's an open auction where the politicians even say, I will serve my donors unconditionally. I'm telling you ahead of time, I'm not going to serve you. I'm not going to be your senator, I'm going to be Israel senator, unconditionally. No matter what they do to you, no matter what they do to me, no matter what they do to America or to the world, I will serve them unconditionally. That's money in politics, guys. So you see me enraged about what Israel is doing in the Middle East, but what Israel is doing here in America a lot.
02:19:58 But I don't want you to get confused. Israel is not the iceberg. Israel's the tip of the iceberg. It's the most outrageous one because it's in the middle of doing a genocide and demanding our money for it. And their control over Congress has become comically obvious. And so that's why it gets talked about so much, because it's in the news so much, and they're the number one donor class in the last two elections.
02:20:21 But the actual iceberg is money in politics, it's corruption. Because who cares if Israel's buying us or Norway is buying us or little Debbie snacks is buying us or McDonald's is buying us. It doesn't matter. If you allow people to buy your politicians, then corruption is guaranteed. Bribery is guaranteed. And the fact that we won't be served is guaranteed, that our representatives will represent the donor class.
02:20:50 But I'm gonna end on something slightly ironic here, which is the one guy that's hard to control, even if you give him hundreds of millions of dollars, is Donald Trump. Why? Well, because once Donald has your money, he thinks you're a sucker and doesn't care about you at all. Before he gets your money, he's super busy, you know, trying to con you and please you and, you You know, do all the things he needs to get your confidence, because that's what a con man is, a confidence man, and he's running a long con on you.
02:21:24 But the minute he gets your money, gone. He went, had six spectacular bankruptcies, and after the bankruptcies, he said, well, who pays their creditors? That's a sucker move. He's like, I prefer people who don't pay their debts. He's like, why would I pay my debts? He already gave me the money, I already spent it. He's an idiot, and to be fair, he's right for the five people who gave him money, the five giant
02:21:52 organizations and banks who gave him money after the first bankruptcy. Oh, you know what, you say, look, you could try different things, maybe after the second bankruptcy. But they kept giving him money over and over again, and every single time he took all of it and didn't give it back. So those idiots deserved getting robbed. But now when you take it to the political landscape, if you know, remember, Elon Musk gave Donald Trump about $300 million, $250 to $300.
02:22:22 And then they had a big falling out and Trump screwed him anyway. That's why I think Israel has blackmail on Donald Trump. Because yes, the Adelson family gave him over $300 million over the course of three elections, but so did Elon. So, but he still does exactly what he's ordered by Miriam Adelson and the Israeli lobby. He loves the stiffest creditors and he has deeply anti-Semitic stereotypes in his head. He's done this dozens of times, but I remember when he was talking to the Republican Jewish business leaders and he's like, you know, no one likes to renegotiate more than this room. Wait, that's a stereotype about Jewish people that they won't follow through on a deal they made,
02:23:09 they'll screw you over and renegotiate. He just says it. He has all of these different racial stereotypes in his. his head and ethnic stereotypes. So whenever he's he's talking about Latinos, you can see it in the future, you'll see how I'm right. Whenever he's talking about Latinos, he'll work in that they're lazy, et cetera, because that's his stereotype from the 70s and 80s.
02:23:29 It's absurd, right? With black people, he'll always say low IQ. He's such a piece of trash. And with Jewish people, he'll always indicate that they're gonna screw someone over, they only care about money, and they always want their orders follow. He just says it. And he said it about the Aedelson's like, Sheldon would come in and tell me what to do more than anybody else.
02:23:52 And then I had to listen to him. And he told me to move the embassy, the American embassy in Israel. So I moved it. Like you're not supposed to admit that. I'm supposed to say openly and brazenly, yeah, he paid me a bribe. And then I took American foreign policy and I didn't care about the American people in our interests at all. Instead, I did a favor for that donor, right?
02:24:11 But in the past, when Adelson's were giving to him, he was still going to run again. So he wasn't done taking money from them, so he would still serve them. But now on his last term, he's totally done, but he's still listening to them, even when he's not listening to Elon, even when he's not listening to the other owners. So that's why I think, now I think others Tucker Carlson alludes to this all the time. I've heard a lot of people in the right wing say this, and maybe they're right, maybe it's this rather than my theory. My theory is blackmail, where they go, do you grab up?
02:24:41 By the ear, Netanyahu does, and I'm showing you tapes where whenever Netanyahu gets close to him, Trump's like, hey? And Netanyahu then says, oh, you think you're gonna stop the Surin war because it's destroying your reputation and your economy and your party? No, you're gonna go back into the war and you're gonna double down. He's like, yes, sir, yes, sir, okay, please don't release a 13 year old tape, please. Now in the Epstein files, there is talk of how Donald Trump was with a 13 year old. and he beat her when she refused to have sex with it.
02:25:16 Now, when that story first broke a long time ago before the release of the Epstein files, I said on the air, I don't believe it, that's too much, right? I didn't believe the P-Tape, and I didn't believe that one. Well, after you see the emails, you wonder if it's true. And then our government hilariously says, tapes from Epstein, I don't know what tapes you're talking about. the video cameras and the clocks and the doors and the walls and the Kleenex boxes? No, the tapes from those video cameras? No, no, no, there's no video, okay?
02:25:52 But I think the right wing version of this, their theory is not blackmail, although they're certainly open to that. But they think that maybe Butler was a warning to him. And the Butler shooting was covered up, and Trump never talks about it. I mean, that is super strange. When he survives a shooting and what looked, you know, that little, you know, fist in the air looks slightly heroic, and he's not going to brag about that. And remember the convention speech where he said, it's just the only time I'll ever talk
02:26:27 about it and I'll never talk about it again. Super weird. And so they think maybe what they told them is, look, brother, you could defy Israel, but that'll be the last thing you do. Would they be that brazen? I don't know, they just committed a genocide. So I think anything's possible. What's hilarious about mainstream media is like, no, no, the Israeli government is so wonderful and moral, they would never do blackmail. You know all the intelligence agencies do blackmail. Conspiracy theory. No, that's not a conspiracy theory. That's a fact. It's on the record, they've admitted it many, many times. It's called a honeypot operation, right?
02:27:08 Not only is it something that's super well known, I've talked to interview CIA agents, former agents who say that's our first move. Okay, and the mainstream media say no way, never, never blackmail, no intelligence agency, would ever do that, they're way too moral. And Israel's, oh my God, they're the most moral intelligence agencies of all. They would never ever do blackmail, you're outrageous, right? No, that's a very plausible theory. But I'm being clear on what I know and what is speculation.
02:27:36 When I give you a fact, it's clear, and then when I'm telling you, here's a theory of mine, you know, it seems to fit the fact pattern. And so, and then you do with that as you will and you make up your own mind. But yes, I think that the right wing theory on Butler has validity and might be true. It seems even too much for me, like, like, really? They're gonna threaten a murder an American president. And if I was a president, I'd be like, I'd lock everything down. and I would then wipe out whatever Israeli assets and agents there are in our government.
02:28:14 But they have a good point. They're like, remember, Donald Trump's a coward. So if somebody did that to him, he'd wet his pants and he'd do whatever they asked him to do. So that also could be the case. But what is clear is that our president is not our president. He stole you on air that he gives away American foreign policy. Doesn't care as long as you pay him, he'll let you dictate American policy. And the Israelis are clearly in charge of Washington and of Donald Trump in particular.
02:28:49 But as I said, to be fair to the Israelis, if you're a foreign nation and you can control the richest country in the world and take their money, and you can control their military and use it to attack all your neighbors so you become a regional superpower. Another thing that Netanyahu has said on air, he said as soon as we launch a second Iran war, he's like, this is great for us. Israel is going to be the only regional superpower and will even be a global superpower. So when you have a government that is serving those guys 24-7 and unconditionally, you
02:29:32 It's pretty obvious who's in control, but how did they originally get in through money and politics? And if you're a foreign nation, if you're Russia or you're a rando country, Finland, right, Thailand, that's got to be tempting. They're like, well look, man, all you have to do is bribe them and then you own America. And you could become a regional superpower out of nowhere. You could be the tiniest little country, you could be Luxembourg and take over Germany and France because you're not using your own military.
02:30:02 or your own money. You're using America's military and America's money. And that's exactly what Israel did. So as mad as I am at Israel for the genocide and their infiltration and occupation of our country, I'm way more mad at our politicians and our media for allowing them to do that and being a willing participant in that occupation of our country. And the media claims they noticed none of the facts that I just gave me. They didn't notice any of the money going to all these candidates. They didn't notice that the politicians then serve those donors and vote with them 100% of the time. They didn't notice that our foreign policy has nothing to do with American interests and is purely Israeli interests.
02:30:48 If you believe the reporters, they're the dumbest people in America. Which I might believe them on that. Okay, I said I was gonna end a little while ago.
