I'm so upset. Oh my God. Let's see how Earth responds to that. The guy! All right. All right, welcome to the Young Turks, Jane Hugo, I'm experimenting with you guys. I'm at home because I got a little bit of a cold. But we carry on. Operation Jor later, and in fact, old school later as well.

We'll do all of that. But first, fun little game here, will Jank be able to contain his rage today? Because there are a lot of rage bait stories, as the kids say, in today's lineup, including the banning of Palestinians and more dirty tricks from the pro-Israel thugs in this country. I mean, they get dirtier and dirtier every day. And then Susie Wiles pulls a Steve Bannon and drops a bomb on the white house. House. I don't know why she did that. That is amazing. So that is Trump's chief of staff. And now they're dealing with a fallout. You got to see what she said. It's amazing. So we've got

a big, big show ahead for you guys. Anna, how are you doing? I'm doing all right. I'm hanging in there. I'm happy. I'm not sick. And I'm happy that you're not right here in the flesh to get me sick again. So I hope you recover soon, Jank. I feel like I'm getting banned, like our first story. All right, the first story's pretty serious. Yes, so let's do it. All right. Well, a big announcement by the Trump administration. Today the Trump administration announced new travel limitations and entry limitations for individuals holding Palestinian authority issued travel documents.

So in other words, he is targeting Palestinians following what happened in Australia, the Bondi Beach Massacre, which was an anti-Semitic attack targeting Jewish individuals. who were celebrating the first day of Hanukkah. Now, let me just note that that attack had absolutely nothing to do with Palestinians and was inspired by ISIS, which happens to be a foe of both Hamas and Iran. But nonetheless, per statement from the White House, several U.S. designated terrorist groups operate actively in the West Bank or Gaza. Same, same, right? Same, same.

And have murdered American citizens. Actually, Israel murdered American citizens. Israeli settlers murdered American citizens in the West Bank. But let me continue. Also, the recent war in these areas likely resulted in compromised vetting and screening abilities. In light of these factors and considering the weak and non-existent control exercised over these areas by the PA, individuals attempting to travel on PA issued or endorsed

travel documents cannot currently be properly vetted and approved for entry. into the United States. Now, Jake, I was led to believe that the Palestinian Authority has been insanely deferential to the Israeli government and has gone out of its way to do what Israel wants in the hopes that maybe, just maybe the terrorists in Israel will leave the Palestinians in the West Bank alone and stop, you know, stealing land, driving Palestinians out of their homes. It looks like that strategy didn't work at all. They're still being called terrorists.

But anyway, what do you think? Yeah, look, my main question is when do we ban the Israelis? And, you know, they'll all get their feelings hurt over that. Well, you can't do that. No, we get to do it to you. You don't get to do it to us, really? Who harms this country more? Palestinians who have no power at all or Israel that has overwhelming power breaks our laws

all the time. In fact, I'm going to give you specific examples in a second. Controls 94% of our Congress, most of our national media, has taken $300 billion. off of us and wants to take another $80 billion in actually just a little while. So I would argue that Israel has done much, much greater damage to this country. In fact, I don't know what damage Palestinians have done. The shooting had nothing new with the Palestinians. None of these shootings have any do with the Palestinians.

So in fact, Shank, you want to talk about who's done more harm. Why don't we talk about, I mean, look, on a very personal level, who's actually helped us personally. The person who saved my mom's life from, you know, bone marrow cancer is a Palestinian doctor. Literally saved my mom's life. Okay, so it's ridiculous to me that the United States government yet again is taking orders from the Israeli government and essentially banning Palestinians from being able to enter our country. And it's not just Palestinians. I want to be clear about that. The Trump administration also placed new entry limitations on Burkina Faso, Mali. Niger, South Sudan, and Syria, where our troops are still stationed for whatever reason.

Yeah. So look, there's a couple of reasons for this ban. One, oh, Muslims are the boogeyman. Boo, Muslims, Israel's right. We should kill them and pay Israel to kill them. So that's reason number one. And obviously all of this is ordered by Israel. We got no issues with any of these. Syria's on the list. Donald Trump was spraying perfume on their or cologne on their leader a minute ago inside the Oval Office. Donald Trump actually kind of likes Syria. So that's what's amazing about this list. Israel orders Donald Trump to ban these countries, including a country that he has been trying to almost protect from Israel. And he says, yes, sir, absolutely, sir, I'll do anything you order me to.

And to be fair, again, of course, Biden did the same exact thing. And all the politicians in my lifetime in America have done the same thing. They all work for Israel because they were all bribed by Israel. The Israeli lobby is the number one donor for almost every president we've ever had. And the mainstream media's job, of course, is to cover that up. But there's a second reason. Israel realized that, hey, you know what, when Muslims come here, eventually, you know, like with all immigrants, Irish, Italian, Jewish, et cetera, they become citizens. And, oh, Michigan, there was a significant problem for them because it's a swing state and there's a lot of Muslim voters there.

So if they allow Muslims to the country, it might start. to have some electoral impact and they don't want that. They want to make sure that Muslims are as powerless in the West than in America as possible. So when they beat the living crap out of them and take their land, we don't object. And in fact, we pay for it. And we go, of course, sir, absolutely, sir. We work for you, sir. So you can keep denying this, but it's absurd. Have they considered, Jank, that maybe your distaste for Israel and the Israeli regime might not be rooted in Muslim identity, I would love to decouple from Israel, like literally yesterday. Okay?

Yeah. It's hilarious to me that they never take any ownership of the fact that the constant images of people suffering, children without limbs, stories like that of Hindra Job, all it's amazing to me that they don't think that all of those specific instances that we've been consuming, we've been seeing with our own two eyes and hearing with our own two ears over the last two years has no impact on the way the general public views Israel. I mean, Israel can't pay everyone off. Okay, some people won't even take the money.

Some people like to be grounded in reality and like to recognize the humanity of people, regardless of their identity. But Israel has a hard time accepting that. So the bans on Muslims isn't going to work. In fact, it's going to continue fueling anger toward Israel. Of course it is. But Anna, they're blind. It's a blind giant. And they really have believed their own propaganda. In fact, the number one target of Israeli propaganda in this country is young Jewish Americans. They've been trying to brainwash them for years and years. Now remember, you're not really Americans. Your loyalty is to Israel. Israel is the most important thing in the world. Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel. You should serve Israel, not America. And remember, they're all out to get you. They're going to kill you. They're going to kill you. They're going to. to kill your family. If you don't support Israel, all the Jews are going to die. So they've been doing that kind of brainwashing and a lot of younger Jews are sick of it, okay? And they're sick of

Israel hiding behind Jewish Americans using them as human shields and to try to excuse all their war crimes and their genocide. So let's talk about the crimes that Israel's committed in this country. And you want to talk about dangerous and what's amazing about what separates the Israelis from any other country and why they should be at the very top of any country that is banned in America, is they're the only country that has no accountability for their crimes. They can commit a crime in America, and there will be no accountability. They can create a crime against Americans abroad, there will be no accountability. So now if you think, oh, that's hyperbolic, oh, that sounds like a trope or something, no,

let me prove it to you. Number one, Robert Maxwell stole our nuclear secrets, the very, very worst thing you could do. The other day, I was like, why did we ever arrest them? And I looked it up. And basically the explanation was it would cause an international incident because it would embarrass the Israelis. Who cares? The Israelis embarrass themselves every single day. But wait a minute, wait a minute. If you steal our nuclear secrets, embarrassing you is the very least that we should do. Right. And instead, we let him walk. We released Jonathan Pollard. He's back in Israel and talking crap about America 24-7. A traitor.

in our face, slapping us across the face. Ha, ha, I betrayed you. And then he encourages other Jewish Americans to betray America on behalf of Israel like he did. Okay, but we're not anywhere near done. So on top of that, we've got Tom Alexandrovich. He's Israeli cybersecurity official who's here for a conference in Las Vegas. And he thought it was a good opportunity to rape young American girls. So that's what he tried to do.

He was caught. Good news. What did we do? We released them. Why did we release him? That's insane. Because Israelis can commit any crime here. And they literally have a policy where they say, that's it, I'm Jewish. Some people convert to Judaism just to be able to escape justice. And Israel says, yes. And they take them in and they harbor every criminal that claims that he's an Israeli and has committed gross crimes against America. No other country has that. That is super dangerous. We have a petition that our government should represent us. bring back Alexandrovich. I hope you guys can sign it. We'll put the link down below in the description box. But right now, our government isn't even trying to extradite them. They're like, oh, rape any Americans do you like? Come on, are we kidding? Epstein is 100% connected to Israel.

We've proven it a thousand times over and they raped American girls and no accountability. Not anyone outside of Epstein and Maxwell has ever been prosecuted or brought up on charges. Because if you're doing it for Israel, rape away, kill away, and I'm not exaggerating. They also murder Americans and get away with it. Now, if you're finding this talk like, oh, wait, that sounds so scary and wrong, Jake, you shouldn't reveal the crimes of Israel because that could get people to hate Jewish people. No, I love Jewish people. They've been great to me my whole life.

This has nothing to do with Jewish people. But this is literal. The Israelis get away with every crime. Do you know that after 9-11, we didn't just arrest five guys in New York that were there to document the event? I don't know how they knew there was an event, but they were there to document it, okay? We arrested actually hundreds of Israeli spies. You know what we did with them? They're spies.

We got them on a one-way ticket back to Israel. Well, Ted Cruz says it's okay. We all know that Israel spies on us, and it's okay. We spy on other countries as well, so it's okay to know that our special ally spies on various government agencies, by the way. Whether it's the CIA, FBI, it doesn't matter. I mean, former CIA agents or analysts who are now whistleblowers talk about it. John Kieraku is a perfect example. I mean, it's just ridiculous.

It really is. And I know you're going to get to what has transpired in the West Bank ever since the start of the genocide, which, by the way, West Bank had nothing to do with what happened on October 7th, that's for sure. But a lot of Americans, Jank, I believe, have lost their lives. Am I right about that? Well, 100%. So let's go to that.

So I actually put on Twitter about how the Israelis had killed six or seven Americans in the West Bank. And there was no accountability. And some pro-Israel guy was like, Grog, show what really happened. And Grog came up with this list. And they said, no, Jank is right. In fact, he's undercounting. So I can read you all these names, but these are nine Americans that were murdered by either Israeli settlers or the IDF. And if you look at the whole list, Grock tells you no accountability at all.

And they say nine to ten cases says 2022, that's just in the last three years with patterns of impunity. I'll just real quick, I'm not going to read you all of it. I'm just going to redo the consequences. Israel found no link, no action. Second one, no charges. Third one, U.S. demanded investigation, none concluded. Fourth one, called for accountability, no response. Fifth one, Israel dismissed officers, no U.S. sanctions.

That's because that guy wasn't Muslim, so that's the only time that anyone was fired over murdering Americans. Next one, U.S. deemed unjustified, no probe. U.S. expressed alarm, no follow-up. offered condolences, no accountability, U.S. urge probe, unclear outcome. Literally nine to 10 Americans murdered by Israel with absolutely zero accountability, not one day in jail for a single Israeli. These are the most dangerous people to let into our country, because they can commit almost any crime against us. And our government, since they work for Israel and they don't work for us will release them. We'll give them total impunity to commit any crime against America.

The Palestinians don't have that kind of impunity. People from Burkina Faso don't have that kind of impunity. There's only one country that has that impunity, and that's Israel. And so, look, first of all, we also have a petition that if anyone takes money from the Israeli lobby, make a pledge to never, ever vote for them because they're going to betray you. That's the whole point of taking money from AIPAC. And the Israeli lobby is to betray America and to serve instead. We'll put the link down in the description box, okay? So, but the bottom line is there is a country we should ban. It's Israel. They're super dangerous. And then when their assets are here, they attack America's 24-7. We have more stories later in the show about how they brag

about it. They want lifelong consequences for any American who dares to criticize Israel. These are the biggest thugs in the country. I'm not talking about Jewish people. You should never ban Jewish people, should never ban Muslims, Christians, anyone like that, right? But if they're, especially if there is Israeli government officials, they're going to spot with Kirakow, the former CIA officer that Anna mentioned. In an interview, he said, we wouldn't let him into the CIA. He's like, because literally every single time they came, they try to bug our offices. And by the way, when they do that, you're supposed to arrive. Canada's Wonderland is bringing the holiday magic this season with Winterfest on Select Nights,

They have blanket immunity to do any crime to American. get away with it. And we're banning the completely powerless Palestinians. This is a sick joke, not on the Palestinians, on America. And by the way, I wore this shirt today. Real Americans love Palestinians and we feel for you. And especially now, because we're occupied like you are, who are a much larger country serving this tiny country that has completely bought our politicians and our national media and oppresses us every single day. Okay, well, why don't we move on to the next story because some in Australia would like Israel to butt out of what's going on in their own country. So let's take a look at that. I would respectfully say to Bibi Netanyahu, please stay

out of our politics. If you've got that kind of commentary to make, you are not helping. The vast majority of countries in the world recognize Palestine as a state. The vast majority vast majority of support a two-state solution. Indeed, when I was prime minister, Israel emotionally supported a two-state solution. It doesn't any longer. As we all know, Israel has never really genuinely supported a two-state solution and indeed assassinated their own prime minister, Yitzhak Ravine, back in 1995 for being the only one who was seriously pushing for Palestinians and their ability to pursue self-determination.

But the man that you just heard from with the Australian accent, of course, is Australia's former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. And he wants Israelis to essentially butt out of Australia's business and their affairs following the Bondi Beach massacre that took place over the weekend. Before I give you more details, Jank, your two cents. Yeah, it's about time somebody stood up to the Israelis and fought back. And look, I watched another video today, Anna. Netanyahu, specifically in that video, threatened every Western country and said,

I'm warning you, you better not defy us. So all right, apparently we're taking our life into our own hands by defying Almighty Israel. But thank you to the Australians for fighting back. So Turnbull was responding specifically to Netanyahu's, in my opinion, absolutely insane statements immediately in the aftermath of the massacre that took place on Bondi Beach. It was an anti-Semitic attack, obviously the individuals who were targeted were Jewish. They were at the beach for the first day of Hanukkah. They're celebrating, they're having a good time. But here's how Netanyahu reacted and responded to it immediately.

Take a look. Your call for a Palestinian state pours full fuel on the anti-Semitic fire. It rewards Hamas terrorism. It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews and encourages the Jews. Jew hatred now stalking your streets. Anti-Semitism is a cancer. It spreads when leaders stay silent. It retreats when leaders act.

I call upon you to replace weakness with action, appeasement with resolve. Instead, Prime Minister, you replaced weakness with weakness. So just to summarize Netanyahu's worldview, Anti-Semitism is when you recognize the humanity and push for the self-determination of the Palestinian people. That is considered anti-Semitic, according to Benjamin Netanyahu. So in other words, he placed the blame of what happened over the weekend

squarely on the Australian government for wanting to recognize a Palestinian state, for understanding and recognizing the humanity of the Palestinian people. That was his first reaction. And just like what happened in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Netanyahu jumps onto a mic and uses and exploits the tragedy for his own political purposes. He is a disgusting individual, a disgusting human being, and does a disservice to the nation of Israel, considering the fact that they keep electing him as their leader. He is not doing you any favors. But what do you think, Jank? Yeah, he's, look, it makes me think that these attacks are much more likely to be false flag operations.

And by the way, if there's an attack in Europe soon, it was Israel, because he's doing the same exact playbook that he did to Australia. He said, look, I sent you a letter warning you, you better not recognize the Palestinians. If you call them human like us, if you don't agree that they are inferior and should have no sovereignty, if you don't agree to massive, disgusting Israeli racism towards Palestinians, there's going to be a terror attack by them, wink. Wait, why would they attack you if you recognize Palestine as a state? All of a sudden, there's all of these attacks across the West after we've been warned by Netanyahu. So no, I don't trust any of our governments. And Netanyahu's a dangerous war criminal. And you think that he's like,

oh, no, my boundaries, I only murder Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims. No, he's got to But I'm swell to everyone else. Hannibal directive. No. Hannibal directive. It is not beneath them to literally kill their own people. Look into the Hannibal directive. I mean, it's disgusting.

But, Jank, I don't know. I mean, it does seem like what he's saying is a little logical. So just hear me out. Wouldn't it be true that Muslims would want to retaliate against a country that recognizes fellow Muslims? Like, how does this make any sense? It makes no sense. Yeah, no, the Israelis are a danger to the world. And they've always been honestly, like if we're being honest about it, it's not just Dan Yahu.

The Israelis have been racist towards the Palestinians for 58 straight years at a bare minimum, let alone 75 years. Yep. Because for 58 years, they've been doing an occupation that is worse than apartheid, where they say these people are inferior to us and should never have the freedom to rule themselves. Their government has voted to never allow a Palestinian state. Every accusation they have is a confession. So they say the Palestinians are dangerous to the West. The Muslims are dangerous to the West. They mean Israel is dangerous to the West. They say, oh, we're worried

that we can't exist. You have nukes. You have Iron Dome. You have the best military in the region. You have no threat to your existence at all. That's just a giant ridiculous lie where they pretend that they have a threat to their existence. Meanwhile, they say the Palestinians should never be allowed to exist. You sound like Germans. Oh, the Jews shouldn't be allowed to exist. And if you don't let us kill all the Jews, well, then you're being anti-German. Sorry. And actually, I'm definitely not sorry, but that's exactly how Netanyahu and the entire Israeli government sounds. So I wanted to just note that while there are some individuals in the elite class, I guess, in Australia's political world who are willing to push back against Israel, meaning Israel

doesn't have a complete stranglehold over Australia. That's unfortunately not the case here in the United States, where we have a murderer's row of politicians lining up to essentially regurgitate Israeli propaganda to goad the United States into war, goad Americans into hating people based on their faith, if they're Muslim. And a prime example of that is Senator Tom Cotton. Here's what he had to say. Australia and some European nations have recognized a non-existent Palestinian state in an open and blatant reward for Hamas's depraved attack on Israel. That's the exact opposite of what we should be doing. Now, the attack, the massacre that took place on Bondi Beach had nothing to do with Hamas whatsoever.

In fact, two homemade ISIS flags were found in the vehicle of one of the perpetrators. And ISIS is a foe of Hamas, not a friend. In fact, ISIS has killed a ton of Muslims, which would lead me to believe that Israel maybe doesn't mind ISIS as much, which is why they're trying to pin the blame on Hamas. But nonetheless, that incredibly disgusting video was posted on X and in the mentions, I thought there was an interesting interaction with Grock. So one individual by the name of Salman Sufi writes, how many times has Tom Cotton tweeted for justice for American citizens killed by IDF and settler violence versus tweeting for supporting

IDF. And Grock notes that based on a review of Senator Tom Cotton's ex-posts, he has not tweeted calling for justice for American citizens killed by IDF or settler violence. He has tweeted over 100 times in support of the IDF and Israel's military actions since 2023. Shank, back over to you. All right, so first of all, I want to bring back to the graphic from the last story, show you the nine Americans that were killed by Israel

with absolutely no accountability. So every accusation is a confession. It's actually Israel that murders American citizens with impunity, utter impunity. We ask for no accountability for nine U.S. citizens murdered by Israeli settlers and the IDF. They can kill us anytime they want. So he says the Palestinians should be able to exist. It's an infinitely racist and bigoted point of view, of course, and the Israelis demand racism from America. They demand that we hate Muslims. They demand that we discriminate against Palestinians. And our politicians who are dogs to Israel do that. Now, again, if you say, well, Jake, are you sure about that? How are you sure? Well, yesterday on the show, you saw Lindsey Graham and John Federman doing that same exact talking

point. Because there was a shooting in Australia, we shouldn't allow Palestine to exist. So how did Federman, who's a Democrat, and Lindsay Graham and Tom Cotton, who are Republicans, get the same exact talking point? Well, they got the same exact talking point from their Israeli handlers. They literally hand them things to say, and it's not a trope, it's real. Then the puppets get out there and go, oh, we must ban Palestine from existing because they was once shooting in Australia. Okay, all right, well, look. I mean, again, if we said likewise about the Israelis that Israel shouldn't be allowed to exist, it should be wiped out.

They would say, oh, worst anti-Semite in the world, you're the worst, worst, worse, worse, ban you forever, right? And I would never think that. I don't want any harm to come to Israel. But they say, we want harm to come to Palestine. We don't even want them to exist. We want to wipe them out like we're freaking Nazis. And they get all of our sick, disgusting politicians to make that point on television. And by the way, all the national media.

come on and tell us how the Palestinians are evil. So okay, you can say anything you like, but Israel obviously controls this country, obviously. And the final thing I want to note, for anyone who doesn't believe that ISIS is actually an enemy of Hezbollah, Hamas, two proxies of Iran, let's just take a quick look at what the Times of Israel reported. This is a headline from 2019 after ISIS militants in Gaza killed a Hamas member. Hamas and ISIS hate Israel and each other. Years-long conflict between terror groups resurfaces as three Hamas policemen in Gaza killed this week in suicide attack blamed on Islamic State.

In fact, Israel has been arming the popular forces in Gaza. That is a militant group that has ties to ISIS. In fact, its former leader, Abu Shab, who was just recently killed by Hamas, was caught trafficking drugs that were supplied by ISIS into the Gaza Strip and was punished for that. So it is amazing to me that while there is evidence to indicate that the two terrorists who carried out the massacre on Bondi Beach were inspired by ISIS, Israel's not attacking ISIS. Israel and its supporters are specifically pinning the blame on groups that had nothing to do with that massacre. And why are they doing that to go to us into war with Iran?

That's what this is about. Yeah, last two things. Things that make you go, isn't that weird that ISIS has attacked almost every Middle Eastern country, but never Israel? What are they scared of Israel? Do they think Israel's the good guys? Why do they never attack Israel? That's so weird. And by the way, if you don't know, of course,

Benjamin Netanyahu got Hamas about a billion dollars through Qatar and he's been funding them all along. Yep. So this is not, this is not a secret. They say it. Oh, hey, look at that. We fund our enemies so that they can attack us. And if you don't know, guys, Israel can be crossing a helicopter in 45 minutes. The Hamas attack on October 7 started at 6.30 a.m., Israeli troops arrived at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

But don't say that there was a stand down order, that's anti-Semitic and conspiracy brained. Yeah, okay. Okay, some of the troops got there at 3.30 in the afternoon, it started at 6.30. The most lethal, efficient force on planet Earth, IDF, took four or five hours to get across Israel. Come on, come on, and it was a coincidence that Netanyahu gave Hamas a billion dollars. And it's a coincidence that ISIS never attacks Israel, it only attacks Muslim countries. I'm sure all of this is an incredibly helpful coincidence to Israel. But finally, guys, let me ask you something.

The talking point that you saw Graham Federman and Cotton make, it's identical you saw with your own eyes over the last two days. So where did they get that talking point? Because they're in different parties. If it was a Republican talking point, Fetterman presumably would not have had it. If it was a Democratic one, certainly the other guys wouldn't have had it. No, they got it from Israel, because Israel owns those politicians. They own most of our politicians.

We need to have a revolt in this country because we don't want our own country, that's just a fact. And so what we're gonna do about it is the real question. All right, we gotta take a break. When we come back, we'll talk about the war addicts here in the United States and the ramifications for the U.S. and its citizens. We'll be right back. So, I'm going to be able to be. All right, guys. So let's go to our members on t.y.t.com. Our guy says, props to both Jen and Anna for persevering through illness to bring us the news.

Feel better soon. Thank you. Scoopster says beautiful sweater, Salt Queen. I'll say thank you on our behalf. E.M. Etib 2 says that new Palestinian band sounds right out of the Israeli playbook. Trump is such a meat puppet. Of course he is. And so was Joe Biden completely controlled, 100% controlled by Israel. To be fair, Trump did a couple, he's only 95% controlled by Israel. Biden was 100% controlled. Bloated ego says if there's going to be a travel ban, it should be from Israel. Of course. How many more Israeli sexual tourists are we going to allow in this country?

I don't know. As many as Israel. Oh, you can't say that. No, I can't say that. If they get indicted like anyone else and they face consequences and justice like anyone else, then no problem, you get criminals from all countries. It's not just from Israel, that's absurd. No, the real issue is they can commit any crime they want on us and they get out of jail free card. They're the only ones allowed to abuse Americans in any way they want and they get

a free ticket back to Israel. That's a fact. So they either change that fact or let's ban the Israelis. Also, I also want to kind of dispel the notion that Trump is. engaging in a Muslim ban, because that's not true. There are Muslims that Trump absolutely loves, particularly the Al-Qaeda type who targeted our own soldiers in Iraq. He'll invite them over to the Oval Office and fillate them in front of the American people, as he did with Ahmed al-Shara. Back to you, Jay.

I know, but I know, but Israel trumps everything. He just banned people from Syria. By the way, Steve Jobs' dad was from Syria. If we'd done that earlier, there'd be no apple. Okay, Solidarity Works says, oh, I'll get back to that one, brother. Tap, tap, tap says, and do you remember a viewer comment from a person who worked on a U.S. Naval ship listening to signals? He heard Israel talking about the 9-11 attack days before they had happened.

He told his commanders, but nothing was done. They also messaged their family that something was going to happen. Post 9-11, this viewer was questioned by naval commanders about how he knew and they responded with, it's my job, and I reported it. And you read the comment on a Wednesday about two months ago. don't know that. Anna, do you know that? It sounds, it does sound familiar. Yeah, it does sound familiar. Is there a question related to that? I don't know. I don't know what happened on that guy, but I'm sure that if you do honest and accurate reporting about it, you'll be an

anti-Semite because shish, shush, don't ask any questions about the Israelis. The Israelis are allowed to spy on us. They're allowed to steal anything they want. They're allowed to not tell us about giant terrorist events that are coming. They're allowed to threaten us. They're allowed to humiliate us. We're all Palestinians, though. This is at shop t-y-t.com. All the proceeds go to the Palestinian Children Relief Fund. And it just, I don't, I don't, the main thing I care about is

wear stuff like this around, do whatever you can. But let people know, Americans are good people. We're not bad people. We're not like our politicians. Our politicians are scum of the earth who represent a different country. But we're good, decent people who love the Palestinians and all innocent people, across the world, especially the ones that the Israelis abuse. We'll be back. All right, back on TYT, Jen Canana with you guys.

One quick comment and a program note, Ashura Zumi said, I was unaware that when the Holocaust Museum say never again, it's only meant for them and no one else. Now, to be fair, there's tons and tons of Jews who don't think that. They think that it means everyone, and they've been at the forefront of fighting for peace the whole time. So don't ever conflate Jews with Israel. But yes, you are literally correct.

Holocaust Museum actually put out a statement saying never meant and never again meant for everybody. And apparently their donors and pro-Israel thugs intimidated the Holocaust Museum into retracting it. And so I guess they mean literally now, now that they did that publicly, they literally mean only for, I guess, Israel and Jewish Americans, but everyone else can be slaughtered and genocide, Holocaust, it doesn't matter. Never again only meant Jews. It's that's, that's, that's terrible. And most Jews don't believe that, okay? But that is the pro-Israel thugs in this country who think they're superior to everyone else and that no one else matters. Okay, it's a rough transition to an ad. But you guys know about Noble Mobile, you know that you're going to save a lot

of money. So t.yt.com slash switch, please, why not save the money? TYT.com slash switch, the max you can pay is 50 bucks a month. But a lot of you guys are reporting that they're getting money back because you're not using all your data. You're paying in the 30s. It's beautiful. t-y-t.com slash switch. All right, Anna. Well, we're massively running late, given the breaks that we are mandated to take. So why don't we take another break and we'll be back with another story. All right, back on TYT, during a social break here. Sudo-Dragon asks, I honestly wonder if Trump knows about any of his policies or actions before reporters ask him about it. Everybody around him is treating him like W for the first six years.

No, he's a moron. He doesn't know anything. And the Susie Wiles story that you're about to hear in the show proves it completely. So art guy says, some in Australia. The chorus against Israel's meddling here is getting louder by the day. Yeah, we're all sick of Israel ordering everyone in the world what they must do. How can they not see that it's driving hatred? Who wouldn't hate being bossed around and slapped across the face and being told what to do by

this piddly country that claims to be the victim in everything, but is nothing but a giant abuser of everyone around them. I'm sick of being occupied. Next, TYT reporter asks of the Australian Prime Minister, the former one, why respectfully? I thought the same thing. Why did he say respectfully to Nanyahu? No one should respect Nanyahu.

Our viewer continues. I think Nanyahu deserves the least respect on the planet. I couldn't agree more. He says, I would urinate on his grave if I had means to. I think that like an overwhelming majority of the world would join you. Should be the most urine soaked grave in the history of graves. Art guy says it's telling the right in the US and Australia are marching to the same drum. You know why the right is starting to get more pissed on the left about Israel?

Because they don't like being put upon. They don't like being bossed around. So the more Netanyahu says, hey, you stupid racist right-wingers, you're all anti-Sem, I said, I'm going to cancel you. Look at all your dog politicians who work for me and not you, the anger builds and builds and builds. He's putting Jewish lives across the world in grave danger, and he doesn't care at all. He doesn't even care about Jews. All he cares about is Israel, Israel, Israel. His mind is diseased, and we work for that dog.

We all have to sit, you know, they're going to ask for a 20-year memorandum of understanding where we have to promise them $4 to $5 billion a year, $80 to $100 billion the Israelis demand of us for 20 straight years. Why? No, no. We are not supposed to be the servants of another country. That's what they're demanding from us. As Sam says, Bart is salsolicious today. Thank you. Thank you. The theater goddess says, I'm taking Anna's sass about legally mandated breaks as a reminder that TYT wouldn't take breaks unless someone made them. Yep. So that's a complicated story. Green new dealer dragon says Israel threatened in Australia.

Their end goals taking over the world. They already conquered the USA. Yep. Canadian skull dragon says follow the money Lobowski. And I like how the Israelis, they're super clever. They're like, oh, we're going to do all these things. Like we're going to boss everyone around. around. So we'll pretend there's a trope about how we boss everyone around. So that way, if anybody

accuses of us of doing the thing that we're planning to do, then we'll say they're an anti-Semite and cancel them and ruin their lives. That way, we'll have no opponents at all when we boss everyone around. It's not Jews, it's Israel. Quincy Magus 72.72 says Bondi Beach, pronounce it like the Attorney General, please. No, the Attorney General is Bondi. Everybody says Bondi in Australia, at least in the clips that I've seen. All right, anyways, I love you guys. Be right back. Barack Ravid's repetitive reporting on what I don't believe is actually happening. Axios reporter Barack Ravid is back with another story about how Donald Trump is very mad,

very mad at Israel, wagging his finger, writing strongly worded letters. You better cut this out right now. Just as was the case with our former president Joe Biden. Now this has to do with Israel's violation of the ceasefire in Gaza, which has been happening since the very beginning of the alleged ceasefire. But before we give you the details, Jank, your two cents. Yeah, so we are being bossed around yet again. And I actually don't think Barack Ravid, I'm not as hard on him as you are. But Trump has basically turned into Biden. And this story proves it completely. So pay attention to how he sounds exactly like the former president. Barack Ravid is former IDF, number one. The reason why I don't trust his reporting is

because what he does is provide a release valve for the administration. When there's increasing anger toward the administration over the fact that we are all embarrassed by our leader being dog walked by a foreign country. That's what I think Barack Ravid does with his endless repetitive reporting about how no, no, my reporting indicates that the U.S. president sent a strongly worded letter. Oh, wow. Whoa. Whoa. Okay. Well, let me give you the details. Pathetic. So this all has to do with the fact that last Saturday, Israel killed Raid Syed. Get you and your crew to the big shows with Go Transit.

The deputy commander of Hamas's military wing, also known as the Qasan brigades. Now he was reportedly the head of weapons production for Hamas and the missile strike on a car in Gaza city ended up killing four people in total, all of whom were allegedly members of Hamas. But as we know, Israel has labeled every Palestinian a member of Hamas. So none of this is surprising to me. I don't believe them when they say that everyone

they killed in that strike was a Hamas militant. I would never take their word for it. But with that in mind, the strike happened on the Palestinian controlled side of the yellow line that has essentially divided Gaza so that Israel can occupy 53% of it. That's part of this so-called ceasefire, which went into effect on October 10th. But since then, a lot of people on the Palestinian side have been slaughtered by the Israelis. Khalil al-Haya, one of Hamas's top leaders in exile, described the killing as one of a series of ceasefire violations by Israel. that he said we're threatening how long the agreement might last. I don't think it's going to last long at all. In fact, I think after the midterms, Israel will be even more belligerent than they've

been in the past. They're just waiting for the midterms to be over. So Donald Trump and the Republicans aren't too harmed by the fact that our government is currently being dog-walked by a foreign country. Now, Israel is claiming that the strike did not violate the ceasefire because Saad was involved in the rehabilitation of Hamas and the smuggling of weapons. But that's not what the agreement both Israel and Hamas agreed to says. In fact, why don't we read it right now?

It specifically says that during this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete stage withdrawal. In fact, what I find so strange about this story, Jenk, is I don't really care if a Hamas militant is targeted and taken out. What I do care about, though, is that literally hundreds of civilians on the Palestinian side, of course, including many children, have been killed since the ceasefire has been put into effect. So what's strange to me is that this particular instance is what allegedly riled Trump up. But all the hundreds of other individuals who have been killed by Israel since the ceasefire took place or went into effect? No, no statement about that.

And it's not like this was their first offense. So let me give you some numbers here. This is according to the Associated Press. Israeli airstrikes and shootings in Gaza have killed at least 386 Palestinians since the ceasefire took hold. What kind of ceasefire is that? That's not a ceasefire. And now Barack Ravid is reporting that Trump is fed up. Okay, fed up.

Two U.S. officials told Axios that the White House sent a strongly worded private message to Netanyahu. Oh, I'm sure he's shaking in his boots. The White House stressed that the killing of a top Hamas military commander over the weekend constituted a violation of the ceasefire agreement brokered by Trump. One U.S. official gave a statement to Ravid saying that the White House message to Netanyahu was, If you want to ruin your reputation, let's all pause for laughter, as if he has a good reputation to begin with, and show that you don't abide by agreements, be our guest, but we won't allow you to ruin President Trump's reputation after he brokered the deal in Gaza. Donald Trump has embarrassed himself and this entire country as a cuck of the Israeli government. So the damage is already done, but an Israeli official confirmed that the White House was unhappy,

the message was milder, that certain Arab countries consider it a ceasefire violation. According to the U.S. officials, the White House was unequivocal that Israel had violated the ceasefire. So it's just more of the same, Jank. More of the same. I don't believe for a second that Trump is upset. I don't believe for a second that the government's going to step in and rain in Israel's terrorism. All we do is Aiden Abed it. All our government does, we're does is essentially steal from this country to funnel money to Israel so they can commit their atrocities. That's the reality that Axios here is trying to, you know, distract us from. But that's my take, that's my opinion. What do you think? Yeah, so I think that

Ravid has real sources inside the White House. I think those sources leaked to him for a specific political purpose. And I think it's exactly what happened in the Biden administration. And happening now. And the purpose of their leaks is to say, oh, don't worry. The American government is doing something about Israel defying us nonstop. Nanyahu seems to be slapping us across the face and never, ever listening to us. But golly, gee, Joe Biden was really upset about it behind the scenes. And Donald Trump is really upset about it behind the scenes. Okay, Donald, first of all, Donald Trump doesn't do anything behind the scenes, okay? If Donald Trump is upset, he can't help himself. He'll tell you right away, right? But so and sometimes he does

get a little cranky with the Israelis. And we noted, we're super fair about that. And I think that he's defied the Israelis on a couple of occasions that we've talked about. Joe Biden never defied them. And but so I get the like the utility of a Barack Ravid. Oh, this is the official leak. So we don't seem like like we're completely owned by Israel. So that's a very normal thing for a traditional media reporter to do. If it wasn't him, it'd be someone else, right? So, but what I would, here's what would prove forever that Ravid is actually honest, but I don't, this I would be super surprised if he did.

Hey, by the way, in this, in Axios, I have reported to you guys dozens of times that Joe Biden and Donald Trump were angry at Israel and Netanyahu and that they were going to be consequences. But I should note for the record, there was never any consequences. So when the next time you hear one, read one of my stories explaining that, know that the people that I'm quoting are definitely lying. And on top of that, they're kind of embarrassed to humiliated, that they're cucks for Israel, that they're pathetic cronies and servants of Israel. And my job is, Anna's right, is to be that release valve.

So I'm not particularly mad at Reveed because like this is, mainstream media 101. That's what they do in every story. And their job is to appease the American people. Don't revolt. No, it's normal for Israel to run your country. Don't revolt. It's normal for the politicians to only serve the donors and never their voters. Oh, the Democrats are going to give you 5% change. And that's good enough. Donald Trump is never going to give you anything you want, but he hates liberals. So that's good enough. So that's the whole point in the media is the cover for the powerful. So he's just doing his job.

If you're listening to or watching or reading anything in traditional media, understand it is not news. It is marketing to help the powerful in this country. So he's doing a terrific job. All right. Why don't we move on to our next story? There's a lot to cover today. And I want to move on to foreign policy related to Venezuela.

Does this executive order give the president more power to do more than he's already doing, that Congress has not actually approved these boat strikes? No, it is completely meaningless. It's symbolic. Well, just recently, President Donald Trump decided to indicate that he sees fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction to America and Americans.

mainly to justify attacking Venezuela militarily without getting congressional approval. That's the real point of what he's doing here. And while fentanyl has absolutely devastated communities across this country, as we've reported before, Venezuela has nothing to do with the fentanyl trade here in the U.S., China and Mexico do, and Venezuela is responsible for a minuscule amount of cocaine trafficking to the United States. But nonetheless, before we give you more details, Jank, your two cents. Yeah. So I'm gonna tell you why I think this is such a bad idea, not the invasion, but using this talking point to try to sell this war. It's really stupid. And I'll tell you other weapons of mass destruction that we should attack and take the oil of later. Oh, interesting. You got my attention. So look, Trump stated that 200,000 to 300,000 Americans die every year from fentanyl overdoses, which sounds really bad. Except, it's not true. Now, the real numbers are bad enough. So maybe he should have just done a little

bit of research before engaging in the hyperbolic statement that he put out. But nonetheless, according to a report from the CDC, fentanyl killed roughly 48,000 people in the United States last year. And luckily, the numbers are dropping. That's a 27% drop from the year before. So I'm happy to see that the numbers are declining. However, I should also note that fentanyl isn't the only thing that's causing harm to Americans right now. The other drug that, you know, has led to severe addiction and a lot of mental health issues among the American public is meth, which is also smuggled through Mexico.

And I'm not advocating for war with Mexico, I'm just making this point so everyone is fully aware and informed that this is not a war about protecting Americans from any weapon of mass destruction. So fentanyl, again, is the leading cause of overdose deaths, or was last year at least, and over 250,000 Americans have died from a fentanyl overdose since 2021. So it is a serious problem, and it shouldn't be minimized. It's just that this serious problem has nothing to do with what the US government and its military is pursuing with Venezuela or against Venezuela. Now even still, Eli Honig, who is

CNN's legal analyst, just disagrees with the labeling of fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. He says it doesn't fit the legal description of weapons of mass destruction, and here's why. Federal law describes what a weapon of mass destruction is. Generally has to be an incendiary device, something that blows up, something that shoot, something that disseminates poison, that kind of thing. If you commit a crime involving a weapon of mass destruction, there's very serious penalties involved. Could be life in prison, could be death if someone dies.

But the president saying drugs or fentanyl are now weapons of mass destruction has zero, zero legal impact. It's up to judges. It's up to the parties on a case-by-case basis. It's an interesting argument. It doesn't meet the definition. But it's like if the president declared that a slingshot is a firearm, It doesn't make it a firearm for legal purposes.

Now, before I get your comments on this, Jank, I want to note something that's really important here because some might think Trump's a lunatic like labeling fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction is crazy, except he's not the first one to try to do it. In fact, in 2022, a bipartisan group of attorneys general urged then-president Joe Biden to classify fentanyl as a WMD weapon of mass destruction. So I guess there's a lot of brain rot in this country, especially when it comes to the political elite. Back to you, Jank. Yeah, I want to come back to that in a minute, because I think it's very telling. So first, other weapons of mass destruction in the country. Well, I've quoted

the number of 70,000 from some studies, but I'll take the lowest number I've seen, the conservative of number. Forty-five thousand people a year die in America because they don't have health insurance. So I guess health insurance companies are a weapon of mass destruction. So, but see, that's literal and they actually die. The amount of fentanyl we get from Venezuela is near zero. So the number of people dying from the fentanyl we're getting from Venezuela is either zero or near zero. Like it is almost infinitesimally small. But 45,000 Americans actually die because the health insurance companies go, well, we don't think we're going to make enough money from you. So since we can't maximize profit

from you, you should die. And they do. So are we going to attack health insurance companies? Have we pulled our fleet over next to United Health? There's other things, of course, like chronic liver disease from alcoholism, 52,22 deaths last year. So are we going to attack Anheuser-Busch, because they're producing a weapon of mass destruction that kills over 50,000 Americans. Cars kill 22,000 people every year. So are cars weapons of mass destruction? Are we going to be bombing GM and Ford soon? And of course, heart disease is number one cause of death in America, 680,000 people. And we've got to attack hearts over there before they attack hearts over here, okay? So this is preposterous. You can call anything weapon of mass destruction.

you want, it doesn't make it so. Okay, but I'm happy that they're using this talking point. And Anna, I think it's very relevant that they had that talking point ready during the Biden administration. Because there's a uniparty. What is the unit party? It is Democrats and Republicans that serve their donors loyally. In the case of Venezuela, there are a great number of donors that want this war. The oil companies want it. The defense contractors want it. And we found out recently, Their hand is in everything. We found it from a Miriam Edelson paper in Israel. The dissident leader that won the Nobel Peace Prize, which is a joke now, in Venezuela.

She says, oh, no, we would move our embassy. We would do whatever Israel asks of us. And Iran and Hezbo and Hamas have gotten drones from Venezuela. So Israel also wants us to attack Venezuela on their behalf. So that's why Biden was going to call it weapon of mass destruction. and that's why Trump is calling at that, because it was already prearranged by the donor class. It didn't matter who you elected. You were going to get this war no matter what. One more thing, Anna, I'm really glad, though, they're using this phrase because it's giving away the game.

I mean, this is the exact thing they did with Iraq, but it's dumber. It's so dumb. I mean, Jake, it's amazing. You're right. I mean, we're actually fortunate that Trump is dumb enough to use the weapons of mass destruction line. Because the second you use that line, obviously Americans are going to think back to how we were lied to by our government to go to war in Iraq, which of course had nothing to do with 9-11. So our government exploited the most tragic and largest terrorist attack on U.S. soil for their own political purposes. It's disgusting. And that's what's happening here. And people are privy to it. So it's good to see that. Now, you mentioned Maria Karina Machado, and interestingly enough, she did win the Nobel Peace Prize, even though she wants to go to war with Venezuela and do regime change. But she says that doing so is not a vile, violent thing to do.

It's an act of love. Let's go to C-4. This is not conventional regime change. This cannot be compared to other cases, countries in the Middle East. we had an election. Regime change was already mandated by our 70% of the population. And what we need is support to enforce that decision. How do you square military action with receiving a peace prize? Are we at the point it's necessary? What we're fighting for is precisely freedom in order to have democracy and democracy in

order to have peace. It's absolutely absurd that you see a regime, regime, a criminal regime like Maduro, that gets supports from Russia or from Iran. And then as a benefit to a non people, not to ask support from democratic countries and democratic leaders. That's absolute absurd. We do not have arms. We have our will. We have the power of organization and the power of love, which at the end, I have to say that peace is ultimately an act of love. You're doing this for democracy? Who voted for you, bitch? Who voted for you, bitch? Which Venezuelans supported the idea of overthrowing Maduro,

which I'm sure many of them would like that. But to replace him with your ass. Unbelievable. Okay, the Nobel Peace Prize means nothing. It means nothing. And then one other thing I want to go to real quick, jank, because I just can't help myself. You know, In the beginning of the story, I told you about how Trump said that 200,000 to 300,000 Americans die every year of fentanyl overdoses, which is hyperbolic and not true, but get a load of Christie Gnome, okay, head of DHS, who has a different take on how basically striking Venezuelan fishing boats is saving lives. You've saved hundreds of millions of lives with the cocaine, you've blown up in the Caribbean.

Hundreds of millions of lives were saved in America by blowing up fishing boats. There's what, 330 million people in this country? Total clown show. Yeah, last two things. It's, guys, if you're on the right, they're insulting your intelligence. So the question is, what are you going to do about it? I mean, they blew a couple of boats. out of the water, what, 12 votes or something along those lines, hundreds of millions of Americans.

So she's saying my voters are stupid and they won't care. Trump says a couple hundred thousand. There's not that many people that die from fentanyl period, let alone from Venezuela. They're insulting your intelligence. They disrespect you so much more than anyone on the left does. I'm serious. Like, I guarantee you behind the scenes, they think our voters will believe anything. We just make up any number.

they won't question us. I think they're wrong about that over the long run, and I've seen them be wrong about it from time to time. But if you got suckered into being in favor of another war for oil and defense contractors in Israel, well, come on, brothers and sisters. I mean, you said you were anti-war. If you turn around and you're pro-war for regime change

and because of weapons of mass destruction that don't exist, then obviously you learn nothing. And yeah, I don't want them to be right about you, but this is a giant sucker play. I mean, the world's biggest suckers would buy into this war. I don't think they do. No one else will. I don't think they do. There's very little support for the United States engaging in a regime change war in Venezuela.

The polls do indicate, though, that, you know, a lot of Republicans favor striking fishing boats that are not likely to make it to the United States and, you know, are not. necessarily actually trafficking anything. But nonetheless, we got to take a break. No, no, no, no, one last thing. About the Nobel Peace Prize winner, you know, that interview that she gave to the Israeli press was amazing, because she didn't ask for Israel to help in the war, which would be logical if she's trying to start a war to depose the Maduro and take his seat. No, she said, I'm going to try to get America to do that war for Israel. I mean, what's different from the usual? Same thing.

Yeah, Nobel Peace Prize. Yeah. All right, when we come back, we'll talk about the explosive vanity fair piece on Susie Wiles and all of her various statements on all the various members of the Trump administration. It was a little mind blowing reading it, took two hours of my life, but it was worth it, and I'm gonna give you the highlights when we come back. Two hours of solid, fact-based, timely news and progressive commentary on all the day's most important stories. We keep our viewers informed while also providing perspective and insight on the news we cover,

so you understand not only what's happening, but also what's happening behind the scenes, the stories behind the stories. We play musical chairs and put these children in one awful detention facility to the next. That's what's happening at the border. The things that got him banned, he's still spreading. So presumably, I think it's reasonable to say that if you allow him back on the website, he's going to do it again. Any legal voter that we deem not willing to vote for my side shouldn't vote because it'll replace me that's supposed to vote for my side. That's not how voting works. That's not how democracy worked. And while many people following today's political news can get discouraged

about the direction of the nation and the world, that's not us. At TYT, we're genuinely optimistic about the future. And with good reason. Today, wide majorities of Americans agree with our progressive stances on issues ranging from health care and education to climate, immigration and wages. The rising generation of young people are also overwhelmingly progressive in their political beliefs and policy objectives. And they're increasingly flexing their muscle as voters and activists to demand change from our elected officials. The traditional mainstream media is mostly AWOL. They along with the government and many other cherished institutions have been captured by corporate interests. Audiences sense that they're not getting the whole story or even

the truth from once trusted outlets. Whether broadcasting cable TV news networks or national newspapers and magazines. The antidote is the Young Turks. Unlike mainstream corporate outlets, we're not beholden to corporate advertisers, the defense contractors, the Wall Street, or to Big Farmer, and we don't carry water for the Republican or Democratic parties.

Indisputable with Dr. Rashad. Ritchie unveiling the truth empowering the people weekdays at 2 30 p.m. Eastern 1130 a.m. Pacific Browna music, brought to you by DJ Bart Kyle, love it. Sausalicious, as one of our members described it earlier. Oh, ho, ho, ho. Thank you, Granik is sparing with you guys and Bart on the boards. All right, Casper, what's next? Right, well, I want to talk a little bit about this explosive profile on Susie Wiles,

White House Chief of Staff. It's not really about her though, it's really more about what she thinks about various members of the Trump administration. So let's get into it. Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true. It turns out that a conspiracy theory is just something that was true six months before the media admitted it. There's actually some truth behind that. But what Vice President J.D. Vance was reacting to were comments made about him by President Trump's White House Chief of Staff. Her name is Susie Wiles, if you're unfamiliar with her. And apparently she granted Vanity Fair, Christopher Whipple specifically at Vanity Fair,

access to her for months. And he did a series of 11 interviews with her. And in those interviews, she shared her surprisingly candid views on various members of the Trump administration. Now before we give you the dirty, dirty details, Jank, your two cents. Yeah, this was stunning on a couple of grounds. So first of all, her admissions were amazing. And secondly, why? Why did she say this stuff? Because the last time this happened was during Trump's first term, right about the same time, was Steve Bannon. And he got fired and never got let back in. So I need you to listen to Anna, tell you all the facts. because what she said is so true of all the different players.

Then we'll come back and analyze why she did it. Now, right off the bat, I'll say that she did defend Trump in various parts of this lengthy interview. So for instance, she's very much on board with striking Venezuelan fishing boats, is regurgitating the lie that they're drug traffickers and that what Trump is doing is totally legal, which I disagree with personally, but let's get to some of the statements that were made. So James Blair, who is Wiles' 36 year old deputy chief of staff, also spoke to Vanity Fair and said of Wiles, that she doesn't raise her voice, but she likes being around junkyard dogs. Indeed, Wiles has seemed content to let her pit bulls, deputy chiefs of staff, Miller, Blair,

Blair and Dan Scavino run loose as she watches. And in fact, she weighs in on how she has no interest in controlling Trump. She views it as unethical to do so. She doesn't say unethical or use that word in particular, but her argument is, well, the American people voted him in, and so who am I to rein him in when he's, you know, carrying out the policies that he believes he ran on? Now, of course, he's reneged on much of his campaign. pain promises, but nonetheless, here's what she had to say about Trump. She doesn't say that

Trump is an alcoholic, so I want to be clear about that, because Trump was asked to weigh in on her statement here, and he's like, I'm not an alcoholic. That's not what she's saying, but here's what she did say. Some clinical psychologists that knows one million times more than I do will dispute what I'm going to say. But high functioning alcoholics or alcoholics in general, Their personalities are exaggerated when they drink. And so I'm a little bit of an expert in big personalities. Trump has an alcoholic's personality. He operates with a view that there's nothing he can't do, nothing, zero, nothing.

And he certainly carries himself that way. And she does have experience with alcoholics. The piece goes into her past and how her father was an alcoholic, but just giving you some context there. And Wiles's relationship with Trump almost ended at the Miami golf club one night in the fall of 2016. She weighs in on that. And I thought this story, this anecdote was really interesting. So apparently he was incredibly salty about how he was performing in the polls in Florida specifically. And so he decided to berate her in front of everyone. And so she says of that experience, it was a horrific hour plus at midnight. And I don't think I've seen him that angry

since. He was ranting and raving. I didn't know whether to argue back or whether to be stoic. What I really wanted to do was cry. I finally said, you know, Mr. Trump, if you want somebody to set their hair on fire and be crazy, I'm not your girl. But if you want to win this state, I am, it's your choice. And then she walked out. She walked out and Trump allegedly turned on a dime, lo and behold, he called me every day. Wiles never looked back. Trump carried Florida. So I thought that was really interesting. I think Trump, like many people, tends to react favorably to the individual he just berated if they're willing to walk away and say, you know what, forget it. He doesn't like people walking out on him. So I think that's what happened there.

But what are your thoughts, Jake? Yeah, so that's a power play. And Trump is a guy, if you bow down to him, he doesn't respect you. He's total lizard brain, right? And so if you stand up to him, but without insulting him, then he respects you. And that's what Susie Wiles did. And that's how she got power. And I respect Susie Wiles. I think she's a smart strategist, but I am perplex as to why she would tell all this to a reporter. In terms of the alcoholic personality, 100%. It doesn't mean he's an alcoholic. He doesn't drink at all. But But does he think he can do anything he wants? Of course, I mean, look at what he's done his whole life.

And so if you can't see that, you're really kind of blinded by your partisan bias. If you can't see that Trump has no boundaries at all, it's kind of like the Democrats who couldn't see that Joe Biden was old. That's exactly right. That's absolutely right. In fact, let's talk a little bit about where Wiles clearly has disagreements with Trump. And to be sure she does have disagreements, particularly when it comes to his tariffs policy, which was announced on so called Liberation Day.

So she said of that whole situation, so much thinking out loud is what I would call it, meaning the press conference for Liberation Day where Trump is announcing the tariffs. There was a huge disagreement over whether tariffs were a good idea. And apparently she recruited Vice President J.D. Vance to try to like real or, or or rain Trump in when it came to these tariffs. She wanted him to tap the brakes. So there are some instances in which Wiles is willing to try to rain in Trump. But we told Donald Trump, hey, let's not talk about tariffs today.

Let's wait until we have the team in complete unity and then we'll do it. But clearly that didn't work and Trump move forward with the Liberation Day tariffs, the so called reciprocal tariffs from anywhere, from anywhere, 10% percent. to 100%, which triggered panic in the bond market and sell off of stocks. Wiles believed a middle ground on tariffs would ultimately succeed, she said, but it's been more painful than I expected. So we're about to move on and talk a little bit about how she feels about the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files and Israel. But before we do, Any thoughts on what she had to say about the tariffs policy, jank?

Yeah, so she's basically proving us right on every single thing we told you. Like the tariff policy not supported by any rational person because he's made it so extreme. We told you, like if he did moderate tariffs like he did in the first term and he did him reciprocal and not these extreme tariffs, they would actually have some chance of working. But if you go ballistic like this, then it'll really rock the markets and it'll have no chance are working. Turns out, his own chief of staff agreed with us 100%. And they all tried to rein him in and they can't rain him in because he's a loose cannon. He's out of control. And does he understand the economic impact of tariffs? No, no, no. He barely understands economics at all.

Like if you're a Trump supporter, you're a la-la land on that and you think, oh, no way, he went to warden. I mean, he's a spoiled little brat. He hides his grades because he had no chance of getting into a good school. He never studied there. His grades were, I'm sure, abysmal. That's why he's hiding him. He doesn't know anything. He doesn't know what's the the basics of economics. And that's, but what's interesting, guys, is you're seeing here in an honest, behind the scenes conversation, his entire staff agrees with us. And same thing happened in the first term. Because they all think that, oh, no, he's probably an act. And he, you know, we get in there and he's going to be strategic and stuff. No. No, it's not an act. I mean, I'll give Trump that. He's not acting. He really. is that crazy and clueless.

That's exactly right. So let's talk a little bit about her view on the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files and the ongoing genocide in Gaza carried out by Israel, of course. So she does see the failure to release the Epstein files as a huge debacle and a threat, a political threat to President Donald Trump, which I totally agree with. I mean, when you have members of your cabinet who spent years talking about how the Epstein files need to be released, when you have Trump on the record saying that he would release the Epstein files, and then reneging as soon as he's elected and engaging in a obvious cover-up,

yeah, that's going to be a political liability, okay? So it doesn't take a genius to realize that. She does do the thing that a lot of Republican strategists love to do, which is place all the blame on Pam Bondi. And to be fair, Pam Bondi does deserve some of the blame because of the fact that she engaged in that ridiculous stunt with the binders. So she again trashed Pam Bondi's binder stunt. Now when it comes to Israel specifically, some in the administration absolutely know that Trump is making all sorts of unpopular decisions. So a senior White House source told Vanity Fair that

many see Trump as, well, they didn't use this word, this is my word, because I think it's an accurate way to describe it, but many see Trump as a cuck to Benjamin Netanyahu, because he absolutely is. So here's what the senior White House official said. If you dive deeply into the internet, you'll find things that say, well, why don't we just put BB at the resolute desk, essentially saying, well, a foreign leader is the one who's calling the shots. So why don't we just have them in the Oval Office? And to be fair, Trump has had him in the Oval Office five or six times since the beginning of a second term, which is insane, okay? In early October, Trump traveled to Israel to announce that his envoys had

brokered a peace deal. We know that's not true, but he calls it a peace deal between Israel and Hamas. Now, during this triumphant appearance at Israel's Knesset, Trump praised Netanyahu and the Israeli armed forces with no mention of the Palestinian civilian casualties. And here's what Christopher Whipple reported about it. Trump had previously lauded Beebe's efforts in another action by calling him a war hero, a remark partially aimed at Israelis. Talking about it then, Wiles winced.

I'm not sure he fully realizes, she said, that there's an audience here that doesn't love it. And I love to hear that. What do you think, Jank? So I can't have blown away by the fact that she's saying exactly what we've been saying on air. And so, and I feel good that I, from day one, I was like, Susie Wiles is very strategic. Remember, I don't agree with her policies, of course, right? But we told you that during the campaign. I said, watch out.

She's smart, right? And she's formidable. And the walkout move that she did to Trump shows me exactly how smart and strategic she is. So again, none of that explains her telling this to a reporter, which I'm again stunned by. I do have one theory on it, we'll get back to in a second. But in terms of Trump looking like a cuck, it's really important that she gets that information to Trump because he won't like it. And the problem is Trump is the exact kind of idiot who would shoot the messenger, right?

So you never shoot the messenger, otherwise you'll never get a message, you'll never know what's happening on the ground, what's happening in the field, it's a terrible idea. Trump will probably get mad at the person who tells him, but yeah, his, you know, half his base thinks it's, he's kind of getting walked around on a dog beach by Netanyahu, and it's humiliating. Yes, and it's humiliating for us, it's humiliating for it. Look, yeah, of course it's humiliating for Trump, but who cares? He's the one who's made the decision to engage in the cuckoldery, right? But not us, not the American people. We want to be led by the American leader, and that's not what's happening here. It's embarrassing to watch the U.S. President,

get dog walked by a foreign leader. It doesn't matter who the foreign leader is, by the way. It's just that Israel is treated as, I don't know, above everything else that exists in life. And it's insane. Yeah, you know, I'll give them a little bit of credit because I don't think the people in the Biden White House knew how much Biden was hated because of how he was a dog to Israel. Like I don't think they ever got Biden that message. Biden might have gotten even angrier than Trump at that message. And I think that the Democrats in the White House were maybe the most coolest people in the country.

But here's Susie Wiles, the chief of staff to Trump, and she gets it. She's like, yeah, this is humiliating. And Anna, I've now seen all over the Internet, people saying, I'm not MAGA anymore. I'm America first. And they're making that distinction because they're saying Trump is MAGA and Trump is not America first anymore. He's Israel first. And so they're abandoning MAGA because of that. I mean, again, she's right strategically.

That could be a huge problem for them politically. But once you get into Washington, you get this Israel mind virus, a must serve Israel, must serve Israel at all costs, even if it ruins your reputation, it ruins your career. And it costs you the election. It costs the Democrats the election. And they walked off the plank for Israel anyway. Yeah, you're absolutely right about that. We'll end on her statements about J.D. Vance, which I also found incredibly fascinating.

So when it comes to Jady Vand, she says that his conversion from a never-trumper to a MAGA acolyte has been political. Or she says sort of political. So the vice president, the vice president, she added, has been a conspiracy theorist for a decade, which is what Vance was responding to in that clip that we showed you at the start of this story. So Vance had a different take telling Vanity Fair that I realized that I actually liked him, meaning he realized, oh no, it turns out I actually do like Trump. I thought he was doing a lot of good things. And I thought that he was fundamentally the right person to save the country.

Now, switching to being a Trump acolyte has worked out really well for J.D. Vance. And already, you know, it seems as though J.D. Vance is the heir apparent in the next presidential race in terms of being the candidate. We'll see how that plays out. There's still an eternity from now till election day, 2028. But I side with Susie Wiles on this. I do actually think that his reasons for supporting Trump were completely political. But aside from that, She made the argument that Marco Rubio came around genuinely, that you can't convince him to do something that goes against his values or his principles. I know, I disagree with her on that.

All right, we found something we disagree on. Okay, so, look, J.D. Vance looks like he was created in a lab by Adam Teal and Elon Musk. And so I don't know what he believes in. I don't think he knows what he believes until Teal and Musk tell him. So are they going to side with Israel? Very, very, very likely. But is he going to pull the same cuck move that he does to them? I mean, he was born to cuck. He won't. Because he was created by donors. So he's of the donors, by the donors for the donors. So he again, for the next election, we don't know what his opinions are going to be until they're told to him at that time.

So for Susie Wiles, though, Anna, finally, to get back to this, why do they do this? And this, This one, I guess the theory is they talk to reporters, Susie Wiles and people like her, because they want to shape the narrative in their favor. But she's such a veteran and so savvy otherwise. How did she fall into the trap of saying obviously true things to a reporter on the record? I don't know why she did that. Actually, you know what's interesting, many of the interviews, because there were 11 interviews total, right? To basically get statements for her for this piece. And Whipple notes that many

of the interviews took place on Sundays after church. And so I'm wondering if those sermons, you know, persuaded her to just be super honest. I don't know, I'm just putting a guess out there. But she doesn't like the piece. I want to be clear about that. It does come in two parts. and we'll include the link in the description box so you guys can check it out. But she says that significant context was disregarded and much of what I and others said about the team and the president was left out of the story. I assume after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the president and our team.

Actually, I disagree with that. I did not get the sense that there's chaos in the Trump administration. It felt way more chaotic in his first term. Now, I think he's significantly worse in his second term as opposed to his first term, especially since he's dragging the United States into wars that we shouldn't be involved in at all, period. But nonetheless, the take that I got was she seems to be pretty honest. And she even went after Elon Musk and the ending of US AID programs, she thought it was disastrous.

So maybe she doesn't like the fact that she was too honest, but I appreciate it. And I didn't get the sense that things are chaotic. I got the sense that unfortunately right now, the Trump administration is a well-oiled machine that's carrying out incredibly damaging policies for the American people. Yeah, and so, yeah, I don't think that it's chaotic at all. I think Susan, and it sounds weird that I keep agreeing with Susie Wiles. Again, not on the policy guys, I respect her like I respected Dick Cheney. I think his agenda was terrible and evil, but he knew how to move the bureaucracy around.

And I get the same sense from Susie Wiles. And your theory that Whipple was, the reporter here was really smart and basically got confessionals from her after she came out of church is an interesting one. But I don't know that that's why she did it. Look, I think that she'll probably survive this. They'll just say fake news a bunch of times. And there is one more thing that she's probably right about. But again, it doesn't really excuse it because do reporters talk to you for hours and hours and hours and then take only the quotes that help their cause from that?

Yes, it's happened to me many times. It happens all the time. So did she praise the Trump administration in a lot of ways that was left out of the story? I'm sure she did. I'm sure it was, right? But again, if I know it, Susie Wiles should know it. She should be savvy enough to know that the guy's going to take the most damaging things you say. And that's logical as a reporter. Those are the more interesting, fascinating, spectacular things that come out of this piece. So she should have known better. All right, let's take a break. When we come back, a story that I'm sure Jank is already riled up about.

Jake Tapper attempts to attack actual journalists over at DropSight News. You know, I'm going to do. I'm going to be able to be. All right, guys, let's go to Super Chats. Constantine Kavira says, when you have nothing to say, super chat anyway, keep up to good work, TYT, and thanks for me. And he says he had a typo, but it's okay because Bergen, do you read anything in the prompter? I will, Constantine, and you're awesome for sending us super chats.

We definitely appreciate it. Bad Sean Knight of Gotham, which is kind of a cool name, says, where deeply unprecedented feels a nightmare time period. And urging, did we have any of this level of security for Muslims right after 9-11, as spike Islamophobia in USA? No, like we had a lot of, you know, hatred towards Muslims and attacks against Muslims and Indians who were mistaken for Muslims. But to be fair to George W. Bush, he tried to bring that down. He was like, don't attack Muslims. and Trump instead owned apparently even more by Israel than Bush was. So like, no, no, no, you hate the Muslims, hate the Muslims, attack them. But in this case, it's not like, at least on 9-11, Al-Qaeda attacked us and did a lot of damage.

In this case, Israel attacked the Palestinians, did massive damage, and they want to add insult to injury by saying, you should hate the people we just murdered. Mystic Mac 555.55 says, please get Dr. Muram, Sousli, aka. Syrian girl on the show. She was astute geopolitical analysis pertinent to the Middle East and with a focus on affairs relating to the Levant and large. Love you guys. Well, thank you for that suggestion. We'll look into it and we appreciate you. Moka Funk says Trump is a weapon of mass destruction. Also, hashtag Trump is a hooker president. Well, that's funny, but who is it? Which president isn't? Carlos Agua writes in,

have such a terrible way of pronouncing it. A YouTube member section, Taco Bell is a weapon of ass destruction. Come on. Oh, Bart, I love that one. I think that's hilarious. I love Taco Bell. Yeah, me too.

Carlos, nice job. Lady A.F. says, so war equals peace. Yep, totally Orwellian. Yep. Dana Albright, 49. 18 says, just like thoughts and prayers, these strongly worded letters are useless, perfect. Exactly right. This is super interesting. Lady Fugenti says, I worked for TSA at JFK in their early days. Israeli air was the only airline in the entire airport, nine terminals, who are not under federal jurisdiction.

It's interesting that you say that. First of all, that's an amazing effect. Second of all, I just read that when LL was first formed, that's the Israeli airline, and part of the entire point was to plant Mossad spies in the airline because they would go to all these countries. they would have spies in every country through the airline, it was basically Mossad pretending to run an airline. And so, and then at our airports, they're not even under our jurisdiction because I guess they're above us. So that's how Israel, among the ways they control us. All right back on TYT, Jank and Anna with you guys. More news. All right, this next story, it got me fired up, Jank. So I came across this last night and I have no doubt that it's going to fire you up. So let's get into it. it. Ryan Grimm, reporter and founder of DropSight News, is throwing down with CNN's Jake Tapper.

This is all taking place on X, so no one's throwing hands, but they are throwing down. So, Jank, before we get to the details, your two cents? Yeah, no, I think that this was a mask off moment for Jake Tapper, because I actually didn't know he was this extreme. I know Dana Bash is, but I didn't know Jake Tapper was this bad. So we'll show you that. And then later in the story, there's a hilarious list of influential figures in media. Who's on the list and who's not on the list is so funny. We'll share that too.

So this all began earlier this month, actually, when writer and former IDF staff sergeant, Etan Fishberger. Fishburger does not sound delicious, I'll just put it that way, posted the following. Birds of a feather, in a fitting twist, the CEO of the Tucker Carlson Network, Neil Patel, is sitting right next to Nika Sun Xiang, the publisher of Dropsite News. The anti-American terrorist mouthpiece funded by the Soros family, just delicious irony at the Doha Forum. Now, drop site news does a lot of reporting that Israel and Israel supporters do not like, including looking at the tranche of documents and emails that have been released by the House Oversight Committee to see what ties, if any, Epstein had with the government of Israel,

and it turns out quite a lot of ties, quite a lot of ties. I'm sure they don't like that. So they're referring to DropSight News as anti-American and a terrorist mouthpiece. Okay, they also recognize the humanity of Palestinian civilians, and we all know that Israel's supporters absolutely loat that. Now, the Doha Forum was a large conference that took place in Qatar that was hosted by a number of big names, including Tucker Carlson himself. That hosted a number of big names like Tucker Carlson.

And DropSight News mostly reports on the Middle East, specifically the genocide in Gaza. But the outlet also covers other topics as well, Jeffrey Epstein's emails and all of that. And for the Soros claim, Open Society Foundation, a philanthropic organization founded by Soros, did give DropSight News a quarter million dollars as a grant back in 2024. I don't love that, I'm just going to be honest. But as long as DropSight News is doing the type of reporting they've been doing, I will allow it. Am I not merciful? Am I not merciful? Jank, what do you think?

Yeah, so there's so many amazing things in here. So Jake Tapper is calling other American reporters anti-American terrorist mouthpieces. We haven't gotten to that yet, Jank. Hold on. Let me get to that first. Okay. So Jake Tapper saw Eton Fishberger's post on X. and quote tweeted it with this image.

Let's take a look. Basically indicating that he agrees with it, Ryan Grimm responded with, you're sharing a post from a former IDF soldier calling us anti-American? What is anti-American about our reporting? If you wanna call us anti-American, fine. You're American and I'll hear that from you.

I absolutely won't hear it from a foreign propagandist. And Ryan Grimm is like probably the most mild-mannered individual I've ever met in my entire life. And I mean that. So for him to get sassy like that, I think it takes a lot. And I love to see it. I wish you got even sassier. But what do you think, Jake? Yeah, so anti-American terrorist mouthpiece for an American reporter who's doing terrific reporting about Jeffrey Epstein, Israel, but many other countries, Russia, Mongolia, et cetera, and the connections that Epstein had for all these. So if Jake Tapper had reporting that showed that drop site news was wrong, that would be very interesting.

And I'd definitely read it. But he doesn't say anything about the reporting. He basically just called him terrorists. So that says to me, no, he's way more of a zealot than I realized. That's the kind of thing Mark Levine would say, Laura Lumer would say. So that's unbelievable, right? And look, there's two guys in my experience over the last 20 years who drive traditional media reporters crazy.

And that's Ryan Grimm and David Serrota because their reporting is unassailable. They're terrific reporters. And they keep reporting on the donor class and how they affect the politicians, Democrats, and Republicans. So Sorota used to be the most hated because he did the best investigative reporting. I would argue in the country. Now, Ryan, congratulations, you've taken the lead because Ryan is now not only doing like groundbreaking reporting, telling us who Jeffrey Epstein was working with, not necessarily for, but with. And so when you touch the, you know, the Israeli third rail,

then you get all the propagandists, which apparently includes Jake Tapper, saying that's it. I'm not going to even engage in the facts. I don't care about facts. All I care about is protecting my beloved Israel. So that's not journalism at all. It's a mask off moment. And then the other fascinating thing about it, Anna, is there's all these anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about how Soros controls the country, right? And Jake Tapper feeds into that.

And this goes to prove what we've been saying all along. For the folks who are saying that the genocide is wrong, it's not about Jewish people at all. In fact, George Soros is against the genocide. But for the pro-Israel side, they hide behind Jewish Americans, but they actually don't care about Jewish Americans, they care about protecting Israel. So they're Tapper and this IDF guy are willing to throw a Jewish American under the bus and feed into those conspiracy theories, but because he's against Israel's actions. So there, again, they prioritize Israel over Jewish Americans.

So real quick, let's talk a little bit about Mediite's list of influential people in media, which let me just be clear about this. I do not care about being included in any list. I don't look for prizes or rewards for simply doing my job. But with that in mind, and by the way, I think we're pretty influential given how much we've been targeted by certain groups to basically silence us. when it comes to the genocide in Gaza. But Mediite put out its list and, well, some figures who did not make it. Let's start with that. Myself, Jank, Asman Gold, Candice Owens, Tim Dillon, Patrick Bet David, Brian Tyler Cohen,

and Hassan Piker, who did make it on the list? Well, you have CNBC's Joe Kernan, Harris Faulkner, Lauren, Lawrence O'Donnell? Laurence O'Donnell was number, is he still doing a show? Apparently. Wow. So he was at number 54. Tucker Carlson is included in the list and I think he should be in the list. I mean, obviously he's been incredibly influential.

He sits at number 46, followed by Don Lemon at 45 and Tony Doku Pill at 44. You have Maria Bartaromo at number 39. Mark Levin or Levine at number 37. Pierce Morgan at 28, I think well deserved. But just below the view at number 27, Barry Weiss at 16. By the way, the ratings on the Erica Kirk interview, total disaster, utter debacle.

But she's very influential, number 16. Joe Rogan is at number 15 and was right behind Bill Maher at number 14. And the top three were Megan Kelly, Joe Scarborough, plus Mika Brazinski, and the hosts of the five. Yeah, so I love this list because I think it's hilarious. And I think that it shows how little Mediite knows about current day media. But to be fair to them, they're just as clueless as the rest of traditional media. So I'll tell you, Barry Weiss definitely belongs on the list. She just took over CBS.

So that's a very powerful position. So I don't begrudge that. I think the host of the five is that's the most popular show on cable news. That makes sense. Megan Kelly's doing great. That makes sense. So it's not like there's nobody on this list that makes sense. Right.

But they betray themselves when they do hilarious things like putting Tucker Carlson at 40s. There's no list where Tucker Carlson should be lower than 10, I think lower than five. Why? Because I like Tucker Carlson and I think he's right about everything. No, I just as an honest take on who is the most influential. I mean, on Israel alone, Tucker Carlson has gotten almost the entire right wing to flip and be against Israel. But Mediite is very pro-Israel. So that's probably why they're like, no, no, no, no. He's not influential. We hate him. We've written And they might have written about, I don't know if it's, they got up to 100 yet, but at least dozens of articles about how Tucker Carlson's an anti-Semite and it's unacceptable to talk to him

and he should be canceled. This is kind of the list they wish was true. Yeah. It's not at all true. Yeah. So and they think Mark Levine is more influential than Tucker Carlson. Well, sorry guys, but that's basically saying you know nothing about modern media, nothing. You could interview any, do any poll of Magna, America First, Trump voters, et cetera,

and you'll see how preposterously wrong you are. In fact, I think Tucker Carlson is the most influential conservative in media. I genuinely do. And you know, I think Megan Kelly, yes, is also influential. But to put her ahead of Tucker, I think is a stretch. And if he wasn't influential, then what about the endless campaigns to cancel him? Why would you you care about canceling someone who's not that influential, right? I mean, now, he's included in the list, so there's a concession there that he is influential. But one other thing I'll say about him, Jank, and I think it's important to share this with the audience,

because I want you guys to know what my personal values are and what I prioritize. I actually do like Tucker Carlson, and I have no shame in saying that. And that's with the acknowledgement that he has views that I vehemently disagree with, including his views on gay people and his views on abortion. However, to me, what has transpired in Gaza has been clarifying for me in being able to suss out who the good people are and who the evil people are. And if you are willing to call out the atrocities that have been committed by the Israelis in Gaza and the West Bank, by the way, and if you're willing to speak out against the lies

that are being told to us by our own government to drag us into wars that we should not be involved in, you're someone I'm willing to work with, okay? Because to me, that's a litmus test, especially your views on Gaza. That's a litmus test for me personally. I know others differ, it is what it is. So yeah. So last thing is the people who didn't make the list, if you don't have Tim Dillon on the list, it's not a real list, that's absurd, right?

That Patrick Bed David, gigantic, Brian Tyler Cohn is top 10 nonstop in it. online media. Why is he not on the list? So this is like a weird list. So for us guys, I've been on this list many times, which now apparently meant nothing. So I'm sorry I ever bragged about it. But look, I get it. They don't like us and they, you know, they've implied that we're Jew haters and stuff. Oh boo, you guys won't bow down to Israel. You won't make list. It's hilarious. It's almost like a mark of shame to make this list. And Hassan, No matter what you think of Assan, is there someone that is more influential among 18 to 34 year olds in this country? Do you make a mockery of any list if you don't put them on it?

So this whole thing, Candace Owens is not influential? Then why do you guys talk about her 24-7? You won't shut up about her. So that's, this is great, guys, because this is gives you an insight into how people in traditional media think. They're totally clueless and have no. idea what's going on in the media ecosystem and the political ecosystem in this country. All right, let's move on to our next story because unfortunately we're hearing more from the woman behind stop antisemitism.org. And this is a real like mask off moment where she's

just jovial about the notion of defaming people and ruining their lives. Take a look. tonight I speak not just about a problem but an actual fight a fight that the Jewish community did not choose from our founding stop anti-Semitism has operated on one guiding belief anti-Semitism thrives when there are no consequences so we created consequences a lot of them when you look for a job when you look for a spouse when you look for a nanny when you look for anything. Our work will always be documented. Well, that psychopath in my opinion that we just heard from, Leora Rez, is the woman behind stop antisemitism.com. You know, the organization that defamed and smeared the likes of

Miss Rachel as an anti-Semite in order to bully her into silence about all the children that have been slaughtered and maimed in Gaza. Yeah, that's the res I'm talking about. So, her organization is ruining people's lives and she knows it and she loves it. And of course, it's nothing to do with actual anti-Semitism or hatred against Jewish individuals. This is really about anyone who is critical of a foreign country. And she has even evaded getting served by individuals who want to sue her for defamation. She probably doesn't want to go through that discovery process. But, Jank, what are your two cents?

Yeah, I thought it was a startling confession. And so, look, if you're Jewish, I don't want you to get the wrong idea. So she doesn't actually try to find anti-Semites. She tries to find people who are opposed to Israel. And that's why she's in Israel, got the Israeli flag, and she's reporting for duty. She's saying, I have tasked myself. And by the way, some donors, including Mary Madelson, has also tasked. her with it because they fund her with destroying opponents of Israel in America.

And then she explains the blueprint for how they do that. And she talks about lifelong consequences we have to put on people for opposing Israel. And so, and now they're targeting just average Americans as well. We shared a story with you guys that we broke, a friend of mine at runs the company. And they started getting emails saying that your employee, a random American, has showed support for Palestine in social media, you should fire her. So they're trying to, and she brags in this clip about how they've targeted thousands of Americans for basically political and career destruction so that Israel can have no critics in America. Well, if you're going to do this,

you're walking right into a trope. So don't tell me you're not doing the trope, because that, that's exactly what you're doing. I'm bragging you about. And Anna, I think we got to the point where they're now doing open-handed slaps. They think that they're above the law, and there's going to be no consequences. So they're just telling us how they're oppressing us. So if you can remember Stop Anti-Semitism named 10 candidates for this year's anti-Semite of the year, and that list included Tucker Carlson, Miss Rachel, actress Marcia Cross, Jank and I are on there, so is Cynthia Nixon, just an absolute and utter joke.

Now, sadly, we didn't make it to the top three. But Tucker Carlson and two individuals, I'm not familiar with Bryce Mitchell at all. Stu Peters, I've seen some of his tweets, but I'm not too familiar with his work either. But I am familiar with Tucker Carlson's work, and he is definitely not an anti-Semite, but a pretty harsh critic of the Israeli government. But regardless, she does make a living off of ruining people's lives, and she absolutely loves that she's able to do that. And she made it crystal clear at a gala hosted by the Jerusalem Posts in Washington, D.C. just

yesterday, that this is what she intends to do, and she'll continue doing it. Take a look. For years, we exposed hate, pressured institutions, and delivered consequences. But after 10-7, the scale of threat and the urgency of our mission changed dramatically overnight. Since that day, we have featured more than 1,000 anti-Semites on our platforms. The results speak for themselves. Approximately 400 of these Jew haters have faced real consequences, including firings, suspensions, and expulsions. This is what accountability looks like.

This is what action looks like. This is what pushing back hard looks like against the tidal wave of hate. that has consumed the United States and global population. You listed Ms. Rachel as an anti-Semite because she loves all children, including Palestinian children. Like it gets her so angry that Ms. Rachel would have the audacity to give a damn about Palestinian kids, toddlers in many cases, that she would feature. them in her content. No, Rez is evil. She's an evil person who makes a living off of ruining people's lives and she's boastful about it. Let's go to the graphic featuring Casey Kennedy. Casey Kennedy is one of the individuals who runs the account that holds politicians accountable

if they're taking money from APAC. So here we are. So update, I got fired for my corporate job of eight years for speaking out against an ongoing genocide. And then he's quote tweeting stop anti-Semitism's account where they're targeting him. Casey Kennedy, the man who bashes A-PAC and vilifies anyone working with the Jewish group. No, no, it is not a Jewish group. Let's be clear about that, because there's plenty of Christian Zionists who are also attached to A-PAC. Okay, Mike Huckabee is not a Jew. Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Israel is allegedly a Christian, okay? And so to say that this is about the Jews is disgusting, ridiculous, and an obvious and

intentional conflation. But yeah, he got fired because he was a target of stop anti-Semitism. Now, it's just, it's amazing to me how much they love defaming and destroying people's lives because they're critical of a foreign country in the United States. where we should have the freedom of expression and shouldn't be harassed and bullied by these thugs. That's what I believe Res is. She is a thug that doesn't give a damn about this country or the people in it. Neither does Adam Milstein, the person funding her disgusting organization, go live in Israel. Why are you living here? Why should we be slaves to a

foreign country? And if she thinks that she's going to intimidate people like us, She's got another thing coming. Go ahead, Jake. Yeah, well, she tells you why she's living here because she's basically an agent inside the country trying to destroy all critics of Israel on behalf of Israel. And the only way to do that is to be here. So I don't know that she's technically an Israeli asset or agent, but it doesn't matter. I mean, the Adelson family loved Jonathan Pollard, the traitor who betrayed us, so much that they flew him out on a private jet back to Israel when he was pardoned by Trump. So, and they fund her activities. And so APEC

doesn't represent all Jews. In fact, APEC attacks Jewish Americans pretty regularly. They attacked Andy Levin, spent $4 million against them. And why did they attack Levin from, you know, again, kind of a legendary Jewish American political family in Michigan? Because he dared to say that the Palestinians should exist, that there should be two states. Obviously, he's not against Israel. In fact, he calls himself a Zionist, and they're like, it doesn't matter, not good enough. We don't care that you're Jewish. We're going to bash the crap out of you, and we're going to make sure that we end your career because you're not serving Israel loyally enough. Now, look, don't go in the anti-semit direction because you see Andy Levin there being a true

American and saying, hey, I love Israel, but I think the right thing to do is to have Israel and Palestinians be both be independent and safe states. But people working for Israel in this country, the pro-Israel thugs, they don't care about Jewish Americans. In fact, a group that was similar to this that was formed in the 80s and 90s had put together a list of 8,000 Jewish Americans they were going to target. And they called it their other word for crap list. And it starts with self-hating, et cetera, et cetera. So they try to ruin anyone's life who is not pro-eastern. Israel. She was surrounded by Israeli flags in that speech in Washington. She mentioned Israel several times in that speech. So she's not hiding. She's doing it for Israel. This has nothing

to do with anti-Semitism. And so do these thugs exist? And do they try to ruin the careers in the lives of especially anyone working in media who would defy Israel? Yes, they do. And so that leads me to ask this final question. Should we make a list? No, please know. No, no. No, No, hold on, hold on. Should we make a list of pro-Israel thugs? No, we should not do that. Hold on, Anna, hold on. Let me finish. Pro-Israel thugs in this country and track them and try to ruin their careers and their lives. Now that made you uncomfortable, right? It made Anna so uncomfortable she tried to interject in the middle. Am I in favor of that list? No, I'm not. But if you got uncomfortable as I was saying that, well, that's how

we feel. And that's how all Americans feel when someone says, I'm going to make a list of people to eliminate in America for Israel. If you can't see that that actually drives anti-Semitism, you're being purposely blind. You're saying, oh, we get to destroy people for Israel. But I don't think anybody will hate us for that. I think everybody will be great. And by the way, they won't conflate Israel and Jews. We tell them every day, do not conflate Israel and Jews. And people like Rez, people who support Israel, 24-7 say, conflate, conflate, conflate,

if they criticize Israel, pretend that they hate Jews. But if you do that enough times, it might actually happen. People might start hating Jews because you kept telling them it was the Jews who did it. But it's not Jewish American guys. Do not listen to Rez and start hating people based on their race or religion. She's like, people like her, these pro-Israel thugs in this country are cancer in our media and our politics. And but we have to be specific about who the bad guys are.

And we're not like them. We're not trying to ruin anyone's life. All we're saying is that person works for Israel that you should never, ever listen to them and stop firing people on behalf of a foreign country. If they keep doing this, they're going to, they're going to rile up a beast we cannot control. They keep just poking the bear and poking the bearer and saying, I'm the boss of you. I'm the boss of you. You criticize me. I'll ruin you, you stupid Americans.

Give me the money, they say. And now they want another 20-year memorandum of understanding where they take another $80 billion off of us after they already took $300 billion from us. It didn't go to Jewish Americans, it went to a foreign country called Israel. And so I think they're on a disastrous path. And if you have any sense at all, even if you love Israel, are you crazy? You've got to get people like this to stop because they're awakening a terrible sleeping giant. Please turn around. All right, Operation Joy is next.

Tune in. And if you want to support the work we do here at TYT, please become a member. WIT.com slash join. I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be able to be. We're going to be able to be. Hey guys, we're on Operation Joy here. Jane Hugo, Anna Kisaring with you guys.

And after a day of the usual disaster stories, it's time to try to find some joy. So you guys are going to help us do that. One of you finally asked a question. I don't know if I'm ready for it, but I'll try my best. So I'm going to read some comments as you usually do from t. t yt.com slash joy and then we'll read some of the comments that you guys write in today. Now normally I'd read the other comments left over from the show and I do love them so much. I want to read them so bad. But let's, I'll only read one. No, last two.

John Bojino says, I love drop site news. Thank goodness for Ryan Grimm, Jeremy Schaul, and all of their colleagues. here here that gives me joy that there's still a couple of independent real reporters left in the country the rest of them are dogs who work for israel and corporations uh i lives in america says anna's in my top five hottest reporters list does that count well it counts according to me well that's how you take it okay uh you guys write in too many good things micrograms Ryan Goat Grimm. He does look, yeah, it's between him and Sarota, if you ask me. Womop 33, 23 says, Jake needs to grow a beard. He will look more populist. Okay, that's funny. That's why I read it. Joe asked N. Y says, I wonder if Santa's taking money from APEC. He better

not be. No, but there are different people who apparently make lists of people who are nice and naughty. All right, let's go to Operation Joe. Jeremiah Joseph writes in, and guys, A lot of these stories are, like, they're roller coaster rides, right? And Jeremiah's is the same as well. And I love that you guys trust this community to share it with us and to talk about your lows before you get to your highs and to recovery, et cetera. So I love that honesty and you're beautiful people for doing that. So Jeremiah wrote in, since 2011, I would watch on YouTube at work and on current TV at home was a member. a wolf pack, but life happened and I completely fell off the map. From 2015 to 2018,

I was heavy in the meth. I lost everything I worked for and loved, my family, myself, and purpose. In 2018, an incident happened that completely turned what was left of my life completely upside down. Spent a year in jail, if I didn't have faith in our creator and life, I would still be in prison today. When I got home in 2019, I had a community of support behind me. I was given a second chance at life and continued to walk through every door of opportunities since. As an indigenous man, one of the greatest rewards I have secured is having a good relationship with my kids and the land. Since 2019, I've made a career out of land restoration, and I also coordinate a food sovereignty program on the reservation. I have lived on my whole life. I have learned that getting closer to the land and people has brought me closer to my spirit and true essence.

But like anything else, it's a practice. and half of life is showing up. TYT has always helped guide me to focus on the struggles and battles we face as a nation and people. Ten years after I had first received the signed picture from Jank for supporting Wolfpack around 2023. I had found it in the stuff my family had packed for me while I was incarcerated. It meant a lot to me then and means even more now, which was another sign that I am on the right path. Thank you, TYT. Wow.

Yeah, Jeremiah, I look, brother, you honor me, man. You thank you, brother, for saying that. Like, sometimes you guys will tell these stories and I didn't know the impact that I had. And as we're besieged by the traditional media and politicians, et cetera, to know that I had that positive impact, we had that positive impact on your life, it cures my sense of soul. It makes me hope. Thank you, brother. Thank you. Anna? Yeah, that's, I'm so proud of you, Jeremiah. I mean, what you've been through. Addiction is so difficult to battle and to come out the other side the way you have to be incarcerated for a year and experience that and come out the other side as someone who's empowered enough to like take your life into your own hands and do good in the world. And it makes me endlessly proud to

know that you support us because that means we have good people in the world supporting the work we do. So thank you for sharing your story and your journey with us. It's actually very brave to do that. And I give you a world of credit for being candid, open and honest about it. But you deserve credit for the fact that you, again, came out the other side as someone who's doing good in the world. I love it. So thank you for sharing it. I feel very inspired by that story. And brother, I'm proud of you. I mean, it's a super hard thing to make that turn and you did it. So stay true and we're on your side, brother. All right, Lindsay wrote in, hey, Jank, you asked for a coachable moment. Uh-oh. I'm a veterinary nurse working in emergency care and I deal with a lot of

sad cases that often end up in euthanasia. I love what I do and I love the fact that I'm fulfilling my childhood dream of working with animals every day. However, dealing with grieving pet parents, especially when it's due to just financial situations, is starting to weigh heavily on my mental state. I get home from 12 hours shifts and work doesn't leave my brain. Suggestions, love you guys, Lindsay. So, Lindsay, um. Nature. Sorry. Okay, Anna, you go first. Yeah, yeah. So I was supposed to, I don't want to get into too many. details, but last Thursday, I was supposed to take the day off specifically to travel to do an interview. I ended up canceling the interview, but I still took Thursday off. And the reason why I did

that is because I desperately, desperately needed a break. I've been working like crazy. I know that you guys probably think I'm slacking off because I've been missing shows here at TYT, but I've been missing shows specifically to do other work. And I've been working like seven days a week. I've been doing investigative reporting for real clear investigations, actual like journalistic work, which is hard. And literally takes months. Like each piece takes weeks and weeks, if not months, to research, do interviews and publish. And you go back and forth with your others.

Anyway, long story short, which is already long, by the way. I just decided to take Thursday off and I realized I was making bad decisions because I was burnt out and I wasn't leaving work in the office. I was just constantly thinking about work and thinking about the stuff that we talk about on the show regularly. That day was such a game changer for me. I know it sounds crazy, like what's one day going to do? But I made an effort to specifically be out in nature. And so I took Charlie on a very lengthy hike.

It was, oh God, it was utopia. So for me, nature really does heal me. And I just think it's important to like detach yourself from work. both physically and mentally by experiencing the healing benefits of just being out in nature. So if you can do that, I highly recommend it. I'm not saying that it's going to necessarily have the same impact on you as it did on me, but just try it out. Go out, try to find an area in nature that's a little more remote and take it in because, man, there's so much beauty outside. So Anna says utopia. I say Zootopia. I took my kids to Zootopia over the weekend,

and it was awesome. I think there's an Israel analogy in there. But anyway, so, but you know, when you connect with your kids and you have this super fun moment, it's just, it creates a bubble of joy. So, and don't feel guilty about it. People feel guilty about being being happy, it drives me crazy. We've got plenty of time to not be happy. So you've got to allow yourself to feel joy. And you can't help all those people unless you start to, it's like filling your tank, right? So you're going to run out of gas. So you've got to, what are you going to fill the tank with? You've got to fill it with joy and peace and satisfaction and fulfillment so that you could serve those folks better, right? And Anna,

Nobody thinks you're slacking off. We keep taking turns getting sick from overworking ourselves. I know. Go to the studio, etc. But mainly, Lindsay, what I wanted to say is, look, there's always two sides of a coin. In fact, there's usually many, many sides, perspectives you could have on any given situation. So why are those people so sad and so upset? And we had somebody here whose beloved pet passed away recently. And it was heartbreaking, heartbreaking. And why?

Because of how much joy and love those dogs, cats, and other pets had given that person, had given the people that you deal with. So when you see their sadness, it is directly proportional to how much joy that animal had given them. And you're in the business of helping animals, fix the animals, and even being in that moment with them, with people as their animals pass away and giving them comfort. You do the thing that probably brings them the most joy when you, here, I'll tell you one last one. It's so true. Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. So meowsers got really sick right in the beginning.

You guys might remember the story. And we had, we were foster parents to them. And then we decided that he was too much fun and he was such a rambunctious spirit. And so we adopted him. And then he got really sick and lost all his weight. And I took him to the vet. And they told us that he has this rare disease, which means that he does not have a high chance of living, right?

And oh my God, we were devastated, right? But through the years and different things, both us and vets, nurse them back to health. And he's alive and continues to cause trouble inside the house, nonstop. So you might not have done that, but you did the equivalent of that for hundreds, maybe thousands of people. Do you have any idea how happy my daughter is because meowsers is healthy now? So, Lindsay, you did that. So you should be so proud of what you do. So I got to share a story too because, so every other Sunday, I fly out to Florida to film her take.

And I want to get back in time to be here for Tuesday's show. So what I'll do is I'll film on Monday. And immediately after I film, I'll rush to the airport so I can fly home and be here on Tuesdays. Yesterday, I unfortunately flew in very late. I didn't get home until like after midnight. And it didn't matter because my favorite thing in the world is when I get home from those trips, open the door, and Charlie is always there to like shower me with love. Like he loves me so much and I love being loved by him.

Okay, and he's just like jumping on me and licking me and like he does like a billion spins because he's so excited I'm home. And I haven't even been gone for long, like maybe a little over 24 hours. And that joy, like I can't imagine losing it. You know what I mean? So the work you do is so, so, so important. And I know it's heavy, especially with the emotions involved with losing a pet and how you, you know, have to be there for the people who bring their pets in to be euthanized.

But thank you for the work you do. know that you're a hero for a lot of people and try to celebrate that internally as much as you can and go out in nature. Seriously, it does help. All right. So now last time we showed you a video from Galfour and we liked it. So he sent in another video. I haven't seen this one myself. So we're going to watch it together here. It's a guy in the video is Michael Fishman and his bio says he's actor, writer, director, producer, coach. I'm curious. Let's watch. All right. I'm going to try and keep it simple and I'm going to be fast. You're probably not going to like this post. But if you come here with your agenda and your rhetoric and your hate and your labeling, you're probably going to get smacked with the truth. And I'm going to try and do it with some respect. But you know where I grew up. We speak truth to power here. And the reality is there is a responsibility to do so. Two truths can be true at the same time. They're not always comfortable. You can love a family member and know that the relationship. It's not healthy.

You can love a person romantically and know that you don't fit together and it's not right. Those are the simple ones. You can love America, but not be okay with the policies and the things that are being carried out or a violation of human rights of the Constitution. You can say black lives matter and you can still care about police as a group, but expect them to uphold the law. You can care about immigration and what immigration. immigration reform, but still be compassionate to all the people here and not let Hispanics

and Latinos, our neighbors, be abused. You can believe in Israel and love Israel as a country and still care and have compassion for the Palestinian people. You can believe in a Palestine and still be a proud Jew. These are not mutually exclusive things. We have to care about each other. More than one thing are true, we're smart enough to make the distinction. Oh, I love that.

Yeah, go ahead, Anna. No, I love that. So, yes, two things can be true at the same time. Two things that some might think contradict actually don't contradict at all, right? So I love that message. I mean, I think the, I love the examples he gave, you know, the immigration issue is a perfect example where you want borders to be. recognized and you want our laws to be enforced, but you do not want to dehumanize people, right? So what's happening right now with these raids and all that? It dehumanizes people.

It's unnecessary cruelty. And I don't know why people have a difficult time holding two things at the same time. I mean, you look at any other country. I mean, you look at the countries that we look to as the models of what we want to aspire to as a nation, right? Scandinavian countries is a perfect example. We love the fact that they have a robust social safety net. But with that robust social safety net comes incredibly stringent immigration laws, way more strict than our own immigration laws. Now, I'm not saying that our immigration laws need to be more strict,

but I am saying that you can acknowledge that the Biden administration dropped the ball when it came to the border and the topic of immigration. I think the top reason why our immigration system is broken is we have a Congress that has no interest in fulfilling their duties as members of Congress. So we haven't had immigration reform. I don't even know the last time we had any legislation that reforms immigration. But my point is, I have no interest in dehumanizing people. But there's this weird binary that people hold in their heads about how, no, no, no, in order to enforce immigration laws, you have to be dehumanizing. I totally disagree with that.

Yeah, that was a really good video. You were right. I did like that a lot. And I say two things can be true at the same time, nonstop, to the point of almost annoying people with it. Because it's true, it's true. And it really changes the way that you think about life. Because we've been told that only one thing can be true.

No, many things are true all the time about the same situation. Okay. I'm going to say something that doesn't quite fit into the joy thing. But so he says, you know, you could love Israel and still call out the things that it does wrong. You know, my whole life, I've been browbeat by different folks in this country with any time. And me less so honestly, because the people, you know, back in the day, they didn't know as much that I was Muslim and I'm atheist. So a little bit different. But certainly the entire Muslim community, we've been browbeat with. You have to denounce all Muslim, make extremists.

Every time there is any kind of attack, any kind of bombing, you're all guilty, you have to denounce it, you have to apologize, it's all your fault, right? Are we ever going to ask that of the Israelis? Like, I mean, if you support Israel, it's time that you called out the genocide. Tons of people have already, right? But if you haven't, you're basically saying to us, yeah, we don't really care. Yeah. Yeah. So that's not a nice thing to say. And if you say, well, that's not fair, Jane. You can't put that kind of pressure on those people. Well, they put it on me my whole life. So. True. Yeah. Okay. So anyways, all right, back to Joy. Picture snapped. This is tugging the tube in from her trip. Anna, she had a message for you and last Operation Joy, but you were out that day. Anyway, picture snapped in Italy and Lubly, Anna, a reminder.

that the world is with us. So there you've got Palestinian flags and a protest in those countries. Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's everywhere. By the way, it's so true. When I went to Italy last year, that type of graffiti supporting Palestinians was everywhere. And I'm not a fan of graffiti in general, aesthetically speaking, it's not really my vibe, but I will allow it in this case. Yeah, 100%. No, you know, why, because the populations of all of our countries are told to shut up and serve Israel and don't mind that the Palestinians are being butchered. Well, it's the whole world saying we mind, we mind. We're not our governments. That's why I wore this shirt today as they

banned Palestinians from America. We're not our government. The people of Italy and so many countries, Japan, UK, America, et cetera, no, we're with the Palestinians. We don't, it's just our politicians and our media are disgusting apologists for this genocide. All right, back to joy, back to joy. Our best, so now Cara writes in, my best friend's daughter, Maxi, was driving to the airport at 10 p.m. two nights ago to pick up a friend and saw kitten run across the road, and then hide in a tree in the forest preserve. So she, she was driving along. side of in the middle of nowhere. She got out in five degree weather and rescued the kitten. She and her parents are nurturing him back to health, getting him checked by a vet and deciding

what to do next. When they put a picture of the kid, this is when we go, oh, and Kara, nice job with the best friend's daughter, Maxie. That's amazing. Like, in five degree weather, the kitten was lost. They definitively saved her life. So nice job, awesome. We love you for it. Can I read some of these comments, Jank? Yeah, last one is a curious one from the t-y-t.com slash joy. Then we'll go to the comments. Okay.

This is, is this Elizabeth Yazidian? Oh, no, no, no. That was my submission. But honestly, let's bring that back next week. And I'll talk about why that image gives me joy. because I'd rather get to the comments from our audience. Is that cool? All right, rocker, yeah, definitely.

Okay, so average gaming 2445 says, Anna, you have the same effect on us when you return. And that's a comment about how I feel or how Charlie feels when I come back. Super sweet. Thank you for that. Let's go to, I really want to make sure I read this. So Hannah Hartman writes in and says, hey, TYT, fam, I wanted to make sure to tune in tonight. specifically for Operation Joy because I could really use some joy right now. On Friday, I had an appointment to put my 16 and a half year old cat, Claudette, to sleep.

Three and a half hours before her appointment, she passed away laying on my lap, surrounded by her brother cat, brother dog, and human daddy while gazing at our Christmas tree. It was honestly beautiful, so much better than putting her down at the vet. But I'm surprised how much it's been affecting me. It's been four days, that's nothing. Okay, let me just say when my parents had to euthanize their dog, who's very old, for months. Like I've seen my dad cry now twice. The first time were tears of joy on my wedding day.

The second time was when they put down their dog. So, and it went on for months, like the pain and like wanting to talk about it. So, but anyway, it's been four days and I'm still bursting into tears randomly throughout my day, totally normal. I really didn't expect it to hit me this hard because her health had been declining for months. I am at peace, but I miss her so much. After a weekend of so much heartbreaking and horrific news, the thing that's wrecked me the most is the peaceful passing of my cat.

I think that that's totally normal and I give you permission to feel what you're you're feeling and you shouldn't feel like it's abnormal. Allow yourself to feel it because this cat was a big part of your life. Obviously you loved the cat and you're grieving. And I think it's important to acknowledge and defend your right to grieve. You shouldn't feel like you're engaging in anything abnormal at all. Four days, I'd still be on PTO. Like there's no way I'd be working right now.

So, you know, I wish I could give you a hug. and tell you it's going to be okay. I'm sure you know it's going to be okay. But what you're feeling right now is totally normal. It makes you human. And that's a good thing. So Hannah, as usual, I'm going to say something crazy. I'm going to tell you to soak it in, but don't hear me out.

What I mean by that is, like I said earlier, your grief is directly proportional to the joy that your cat gave you throughout their life, right? So when you feel that grief, appreciate all those 16 and a half years, right? That's what I mean by soaking it in. So I remember when, now this is a human, but when my one of my best friends' mom passed away, and I've told you stories about her. She was just such a wonderful, moral, decent person. And she helped me so much. And at her funeral, I got up to give a speech, and I just couldn't finish it.

I just couldn't stop crying, right? And that's because I loved her so deeply. And so it's amazing that you got that opportunity to love that deeply. So that's what I mean by appreciating you. So, but we all feel your pain because it's happened to all of us at some point. And like Anna said, don't feel bad about it. That's healthy and normal. And it means that you did share that joy.

And not only that, it means that you have the capacity to love. And that's a gift. That's a beautiful thing. Yeah, I mean, there are some people who don't feel any empathy. So. A lot of them become president of the United States, yeah. Yeah, they become dangerous. All right, I'm gonna read a bunch of quick ones from Twitch,

and then we'll get to maybe one or two couple more. What are two, a couple more, such a Bush thing to say. say. Anyways, comments that are a little bit longer from t yt.com.

Avengers Dragon 89 also writes in, Jake, you and Anna and Jorbead so got my thought, botched brain surgery in five years of rehab and counting, despite an anti-opoid opioid epidemic for a long-term pain. And then wrote in, my dog saved my life and my wife a lot. She taught me to ID seizures five plus minutes early in the horror stage.

And I can take a Valtico nasal spray. I can drive because I haven't had a seizure in almost two years. It's true. These stories are amazing guys. It's true, dogs can do that. Isn't that crazy? Dogs are amazing. They are amazing.

I was watching a video on Instagram the other day where a little girl who has diabetes. The dog will alert her parents if her blood sugar is out of whack so they can, you know, immediately take care of the situation. So dogs are amazing. Anyway. Yeah. And so I almost want to do a poll. Dogs are humans, but I don't want to do it. Because I know which is going to go. It's not going to end well. All right, maybe we'll do it on old school.

My cats purring on my lap while I sit on my couch under fluffy, warm blankets, and watching TYT. Hashtag Operation Joy. Well, I love it.

Last two here, 19 snowflakes says my husband and I are almost full of joy because we hung out Christmas lights on the roof line today. We'll get to the fences, trees, windows, and door soon, way behind the calendar and our disabled older bodies aren't helping. But they bring us so very much joy and it's worth it. We leave them up and up and on through January. I love you all, my TYT family. So 19 snowflakes, you're so after my own heart. We usually go all the way to Valentine's Day.
