I'm going to be able to be. And so, I'm going to I'm All right, welcome the Young Turks, Jake, You Anna Kasparian with you guys. Big show ahead. Huge. So we got Donald Trump doing a military takeover of the country.

We got Israel doing a military takeover of the planet. So we've got a lot of that, unfortunately, authoritarianism everywhere we look. But we're going to fight back. And look, I have, I don't know that we're going to get too into it in this show, but I have a lot of optimism about politics going forward for reasons. Well, you know what we'll do, we'll talk about a little bit in the bonus episode.

You're crazy. You crazy, dog. I am, but it's a super ironic optimism because there's going to be a lot of bad things that happened before that. But, okay, we'll save that for the members, but let's get started. Let's get started with this. People, I watched in Illinois, Chicago, Illinois is a disaster. I have property there. It's a disaster. What's going on in Chicago?

And you get a Pritchcock. He's violating our rights. As you all know, Chicago's a killing field right now. And they don't acknowledge it. And they say, we don't need them. Freedom, freedom, freedom. He's a dictator. A lot of people are saying maybe we like a dictator.

I don't like a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I'm a man with great common sense and I'm a smart person. And the president of the United States, Donald Trump, seems to have a lot of admiration for dictators on a global scale. But nonetheless, let's focus on what's happening here in the year. U.S. because this morning, President Donald Trump implied that he plans to deploy National Guard troops to other jurisdictions, including Chicago. And he said so during this Oval Office

Q&A session with journalists. Now, he went from claiming that some people want a dictator to calling Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker a slob. So Trump was essentially signing executive orders. That's what spurred the Q&A with journalists. He wants to end cashless bail in In DC, he also wants to make flag burning a criminal offense punishable by a year in prison, even though this is an issue that's been adjudicated by the United States Supreme Court. As much as anyone might hate watching protesters or individuals burn the American flag, you have the right to do it, it's protected by the First Amendment. And there are even some conservatives to their credit who are speaking out against what Trump

is trying to do with this executive order. Now it's been two weeks since Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C. after declaring that there's a crime emergency and they need the National Guard to respond to it. Now he's claiming total success and victory in D.C. only takes one week. Only takes one week, the crime situation completely solved. Take a look. I don't like going to a town, a city, place, a state, and then be criticized by some corrupt or incompetent governor where crime is rampant like take a look at dc crime was rampant it was at the all-time worst it got really bad during the biden four years and then i have a mayor stand up and say

how crime has reached a 30-year low 30-year low people are being killed left and right and it's not a 30-year-law think of it so for 11 days there's been no murders the record goes back years where that's happened they haven't seen that happen in years So the one thing that you can't really lie about in the crime statistics, because I think we can all acknowledge that crime statistics do get manipulated sometimes often by local law enforcement in order to make it appear that they're doing an effective job in lowering crime. However, when it comes to things like murder and homicides, you really can't fudge the numbers there. And so when it comes to that issue, it is true that that type of violent

crime has gone down in Washington, D.C., whereas there are some other areas of crime like carjackings, for instance, where it's continued to be a problem in D.C. However, for me, based on my read of how Trump is handling the situation, not just in D.C. But what he's threatening to do in other cities, I don't really think this is about tackling crime. If it were about tackling crime, he would feel very uncomfortable with the fact that there was an Israeli government official on U.S. soil attempting to rape American children and get away with it. And that our government let him flee back to Israel with no consequences. Anyway, but Jank, what are your thoughts about what's going on here?

Yeah, so number one thing I'm worried about is whenever Trump says, some people are saying it, fill in the blank, it's always something he wants to do, or something he thinks about himself. Some people are saying I'm the best president that's ever existed. Some people are saying my polling is better than Abraham Lincoln and George, Washington. No one's saying that. You're saying that there was no polling back then, right? So I can give you a list of about a couple hundred examples of that. So when he starts saying some people want dictators, I'm like, oh, no, right?

And so nobody's surprised by this. And I really do mean that, except for, I guess, the independents who voted for him. Because hardcore MAGA loves it. They're like, oh, yeah, military takeover the streets, live under tyrannical government. This is what we've been waiting for or warning about. I got some stats for you, Jank. Okay, oh, that's interesting, so I don't know that. There's a new goal that's pretty terrifying, actually.

Okay, yeah. You know what, okay, let me pause here, give us the facts, and then I'll come back. So I came across this poll right before we went on air, and the statistics here are the percentage of Americans who are in favor of essentially doing away with our democratic system and instead head toward authoritarianism. It's crazy. So this is a recent Ipsos poll. They published it on August 1st. When asked about support for an authoritarian system, a worrying 41% of Americans think having a strong leader who does not have to bother with parliament or elections is a very good

or fairly good system. Parliament. I mean, this had to do with Americans specifically, right? But I think they were like trying to do a general, like what's, how do people feel about democracy worldwide? This view gained slightly more support among men, 45% than we. women, 37%, higher earners and younger people were most likely to support a more authoritarian style. But also, 39% of Americans believe the government can be trusted. Only 39% of Americans

believe the government can be trusted. So please help me, you know, square that circle, I guess. How do you think you can't trust the government on one hand, but you're calling for an authoritarian government on the other hand? No, I actually can't square that circle. I think that's, Funny that you mentioned that because that's what I was going to go to in those numbers. So look, I think an alarmingly large number of people in any society would say, yes, authoritarianism, if they thought it was going to keep them safer. That is why there's the old line, I think, from Benjamin Franklin about, you know, if you trade freedom for security, you'll have neither, right?

And so, but that is basically the equation that people have been having to deal with throughout history, right? So a king or an authoritarian leader or a dictator can just slaughter anyone he likes and bring peace through significant government violence, right? Right, wrong, guilty, innocent doesn't matter, but they bring down the violence other than the one that they're creating, right? So there's this natural sometimes reflex for people to go, okay, just give me a dictator, right? And then I'll be safer. Now, Trump is using this in a situation where crime had gone up for a little while. We documented it on the show and received a lot of flag for it, but it was real. But now crime is going down in a lot of the cities.

And he's doing it anyway because he always wanted to do it, right? And so here, I don't think that it's being received that well overall. So 41% is a troubling number, but again, you're seeing it all across the world. But why does that connect to? Well, we don't believe in our institutions anymore. That's exactly why they're doing it. Because at a time where we do not have significant violence or crime in the country overall, when people are still saying this, I think it's because Anna, they're so blackpilled and they're so desperate that they're like,

well, none of this works anyway. Congress never does anything. I'm going to tell you what it is. Hold on, we're never protected by anything. The government never looks out for us. So they're desperate. So in their desperation, they go, well, maybe law and order will do it. Maybe the military will do it.

I think that's why the same people who are so deeply frustrated with our institutions are ironically, a lot of the same people who go, well, then let's try something new, like military rule. No, I mean, look, I think that analysis is actually spot on, Because after now several years of, look, I think there's a distinction that needs to be made here, right? Because things that typically would have been thought of as crime, serious crimes in a lot of these big cities were reclassified. And so what people reclassified as misdemeanors are lower level crimes, right? But it's still the same act that really does bother local communities.

And they're like, what is up with this disorder? what is up with my quality of life going down year after year and people are getting frustrated about it. Put it in the full context, guys, of Americans are working harder than ever before. Their money is worth less than it was just a few years ago. So you're working harder. You're barely able to make ends meet. Obviously, these big cities are very expensive to live in. So as you're shelling out more and more money and working harder and harder in order to just be able to exist and survive in these big cities, you are experiencing your quality of life, go down the drain.

And then you're also being told by local politicians, state politicians, even politicians on a federal level, depending on which political party they belong to, it's all in your imagination, everything is great, shut up, you're helping Trump. And so we have to acknowledge that reality. We have to acknowledge that when people are living in cities where you see like literally open air drug markets, something that we did not at all accept just like 10 years ago, well yeah, that creeps people out, that freaks people out. They think that there's this disorder, there's this anarchy, and they get scared.

And so rather than have a good solution for that during the Biden administration, what did Biden do about that? Nothing. On a local level, what was done about that? Nothing, it's all in your imagination. We're going to gaslight you. We're going to make you out to be a bad guy. Why are you a secret Republican? And then Trump swoops in and Trump does what he does, right? It creates a perfect avenue for someone with authoritarian tendencies to exploit the situation for his own purposes. And that's what's happening right now. Do I think Trump actually cares about your quality of life? No, I don't. Because in fact, sending, you know, military or sending national guard troops leads to more

chaos, which by the way Trump loves because he wants nothing more than for Americans to be distracted by the shock and awe as he's taking your tax dollars, funneling it to a genocidal government that's carrying out a genocide and a land grab in the Middle East. And at the same time, please don't pay attention to the lies and the cover up of the Epstein files. Please don't pay attention to the fact that an Israeli government official got caught in a sting operation attempting to have sex with a 15 year old girl and we let him go. We let him go back to Israel. No consequences, no punishment. Please don't pay attention to that. Shocken awe, shock and awe, shock and all. I mean, you want to talk about criminality? You want to talk about crime? How much crime has the

Trump administration enabled on an international level? Yeah. Don't talk to me about crime. The weight is over. The gold standard of online casinos has arrived. Golden Nugget Online Casino is live.

Okay, so guys, look, I'm worried about the military takeover with the streets. It actually does connect to Israel in some way through Palantir. Palantir right now is doing facial recognition and AI programs to figure out which Palestinians to murder in Gaza. Now, I'm not, that's a program that Israel is running.

There's, I should be clearer, Palantir is connected to the IDF and the Israeli government. They're also connected to our government. I'm not positive that Palantir is running that specific AI program. That's called Where's Daddy, where they wait for someone picked the rent, like almost randomly by AI. They claim, oh yeah, that's that guy knew a terrorist who knew someone else who knew a cat, who knew a dog, et cetera. And they wait for him to get home and then they murder his entire family, right? They drop a bomb on them. So but Palantir is working with the, you know, you can call it deep state intelligence agencies, whatever you want of Israel and America.

They're basically practicing tyranny in Israel, which they will then bring over here once we have military all over the streets. So that's why I think the MAGA guys who had all those flags with don't tread on me, like throwing a ticker tape parade for treading on us is deeply ironic and crazy. In terms of crime, look, both sides drive me crazy on this and they'll hate this and they'll hate the whole clip and you'll hate me for saying it. if you're on one of the two sides. But on the Democratic side, Anna's right, we've done great damage by pretending there was no crime or the crime had not risen. It was a right-wing narrative. People weren't actually frustrated.

It was all a myth. It was all fantasy land, and you're helping the right-wing by talking about it, et cetera. You were totally wrong. I know you're in your bubble, and in your bubble you were safe and you thought, oh, I'm protecting minorities. No, you were hurting minorities. That's why Oakland recalled their mayor. I keep going back to that because unfortunately, the people who kept saying that there was no crime in Oakland, never talked to anyone in Oakland.

It was over, that boat was overwhelming. It was a recall super early, which is dramatic already. Even if it passed by one point, it would have been shocking. Instead, it passed by 22 points. And they recalled her because they were sick and tired of the crime. And they were black and brown communities who were like we would prefer not to be robbed. NACP, even before the recall. of the DA, NWACP kept putting out statements.

This isn't working, this is hurting our communities. We need to enforce the laws better so people aren't victimized by this crime. But I mean, we're just crazy, I don't know. I don't even know, so propagandists, I guess. No, no, no, look guys, this is really important as a general point as well, okay? So when we pointed out the NAACP was saying, please, please, African Americans in Oakland and all these other cities are asking for help, right? They're not asking you to take away cops.

They're asking for, they're not asking to get beat by cops. They're asking for cops to serve and protect the community, which is what we agree with 100%, right? I swear to God, other hosts were saying, oh, yeah, that doesn't count because NAACP is well-known Republicans. What? What? Okay, so all right, all right, all right.

But what happened, guys, is why do we warn you about that? Number one, we as progressives should be, I'll speak for myself, we want to protect the victims of injustice. Victims of crime are victims of injustice. And especially in the cities, if you care about race so much, the victims are disproportionately minorities. Why are you not protecting them? You don't protect them by bashing them in the head by cops that are out of control. or shooting them too early, et cetera. But you also don't protect them by taking away all protection.

And it's not me saying, it's them saying it. But we couldn't get anyone on the left to recognize this. So then Trump started, and the Republicans started picking up black voters, Latino voters, et cetera, people going, well, I want to be protected, right? And then what did our side do? Oh, well, you guys are fascists, they're racist. They're black, they're not racist, they're Latino, they're not racist, they're asking for protection. And now the pendulum swings way too far in the other direction.

And now Trump uses that and as an excuse for a military takeover. And if you're one of the folks who are in the great middle, who don't want a lot of crime, right, and who don't want the military takeover streets, what you should ask for, and what's reasonable is give me better policing and maybe a little bit more policing. Yes, yes, that's exactly right. But bringing in the National Guard of the Marines, when the Marines can't do policing anyway inside the country, doesn't help you anyway. So like it's counterproductive, it goes in the wrong direction, it doesn't actually make you safer. So why not ask for something that actually

will make you safer? And which by the way would be way way, would be way more popular. Look, the final thing I'll say about this is, look, Trump is now planning on sending National Guard troops to Baltimore, to Chicago. Look, when it comes to federalizing the police force in DC, that's one thing. Trump does have the jurisdiction necessary to do that. You start getting close to questionable legal territory when you start doing this in other cities. So we're gonna wait and see how this plays out.

Obviously there is resistance from these cities when it comes to national guard troops. But the final thing I'll say is, there was a time when we had record crime all across the country and we didn't need troops to swarm into cities to do something about it. Okay, we don't need to reinvent the wheel. We needed to reform policing so you can prevent the kinds of disgusting incidents like what happened in the murder of George Floyd. We need to reform the prisons so they're not just torture chambers so people can actually be rehabilitated and go back into society and live wonderful thriving lives. That's what I envisioned when it came to reforming our criminal justice system.

But we went in all sorts of weird directions. Trump doesn't give a damn about your quality of life and whether or not crime is hurting people in these big cities. This is his shock and awe, you know, strategy. And as we're hyper focused on this, he and his cronies are looting the government of its resources. He's essentially being dog walked by a foreign country that's committing genocide and has become a pariah state. And we allowed a child sex offender to flee back to Israel. That is unacceptable. You can't claim to care about crime if you're going to allow that injustice to stand.

All right, my last point is, look, one tiny bit of good news in all this that we just shared with you guys is as the hardcore MAGA is saying, oh, we love the military take over in the streets, tread all over us. It's maddening to me. Totally maddening, I don't, if you're a principled conservative or libertarian, I don't know why in the world you would want that. That's crazy. You don't even know your own principles, okay? But the silver lining is, in a shocking turn of events, in one I did not expect at all, the right wing has turned on Trump on flag burning. Tons of right winger is going, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I hate anyone burning the flag. And I, you know, and it's totally unacceptable, which I agree with. It's, by the way, if you're burning an American flag in a protest, you're burning the whole protest politically, because you want strategically, you want Americans on your side, you don't want them to hate you. That makes no sense. The people who do it are usually self-aggrandizing clowns. But do they have a right to do it, yes. And that's what the left has been saying forever. And now shockingly, right-wingers all over the place are going, no, that's freedom of speech. I hate the guys doing it, but you get to do that in this country. And that is a development I did not expect.

Honestly, I agree with you on that one. So I guess we'll latch onto those silver linings where we can get them. But when we get back from the break, the latest out of it, Gaza is just, Chelsea Manning was placed in solitary confinement because she was the whistleblower who talked about the double taps that the United States military was doing. So they would do a strike, you know, emergency workers would show up to try to help civilians that might have been harmed. And then they would do another strike to get the ambulance workers and all of that. That was a big scandal, huge scandal, huge embarrassment for the United States, which is why the United States retaliated against Chelsea Manning, threw her in solitary confinement for being the whistleblower on that story. We'll get a load of this.

When we come back, Israel does a double tap, and it is all captured on camera. We're going to show it to you. Don't miss it. It's Rona Week. Now until Wednesday, rain or shine, you can always be building yourself a better summer. So head over to Rona and save 30% on SICO endurance interior paint.

All right, back on TYD, Jank, Anna Flunafool and Joseph Stewart, because they were beautiful Americans who just hit the join button below on YouTube, and Margaret Holland Coffee.

Thank you for gifting a membership on YouTube as well. You guys are awesome. Anna. All right, let's get to our next story. Jewel strikes on the NASA medical complex in Kahnunas killed at least 20 people, including journalists, according to Gaza health officials. This video showing the chaos in the aftermath of the first strike. Now, the IDF claiming, it, quote, does not target journalists as such,

and saying the military chief has instructed an inquiry into the attack. Well, neither the statements from Israel nor their investigation means anything at all. At least that's what the nearly two year genocide in Gaza has taught anyone with two brain cells to rub together. Now at least 20 people were killed in two back to back Israeli airstrikes on the Nasser hospital complex in the southern end of the Gaza Strip. Now it appears that Israel conducted the second strike known as a double tap, specifically because civil defense teams and journalists arrived on the scene. Now, let's take a look at that. Now, we know that after that first strike targeted the fourth floor of the hospital.

We understand that there were emergency workers, health workers, and journalists who all rushed to the scene. Now, we have footage that we see. It was also played on live television, showing those individuals on a, damaged staircase trying to retrieve casualties, one holding up a damaged video camera to show the journalist's presence. And then just minutes later, there was a second strike. Now, we understand that this was more deadly than the first, and this is the one that did kill many journalists and emergency workers who were on the scene at the time. At least four journalists have been

killed. So since that report, it was confirmed that more than four journalists were killed during that, in my opinion, intentional strike, considering hundreds of journalists have been killed in Gaza. And Israel, of course, does not allow international journalists to report on the ground, entered the Gaza Strip and report on the ground. Now, of the journalists who were killed, I want to identify them. Miriam Daga, a freelance journalist for the Associated Press, cameraman Hussam al-Masri, a Reuters contractor, Mohammed Salam, a journalist for Al Jazeera, photographer Hattem Khaled, and another contractor for

Reuters, and finally, Mawaz Abu Taha. So those five journalists arrived on the scene to do their jobs to report about the Israeli strike, and that's when Israel did a second strike. And I want to be clear, I want to be clear, these individuals were visible, I'm gonna go to another video, a better angle, So you see exactly what I'm talking about here. Take a look. Last week, one of the videos that went viral featured a young girl who was walking by herself

with a jug of water that she was trying to take back to her family. The IDF decided to bomb her to smithereens as well. So anyone who thinks that these are not intentional strikes is either delusional or they're just a flat out liar that just seeks to defend any and all crimes committed by the state of Israel. Here at the young Turks, we like to report the truth. These are intentional strikes. They are intentionally slaughtering journalists, healthcare workers, doctors.

You guys get the picture. Yeah, so there's three layers to that crime. So first they hit a hospital. Remember when they pretended to be outraged that, oh, there was in the beginning of the war, there was an errant bomb from Islamic jihad that hit a hospital. It wasn't Israel. How all of you are anti-Semites, blood liable, blah, blah, blah, blah, for suggesting it was a hospital.

Now almost every hospital in Gaza is destroyed, and you see them hitting a hospital again and again. here, right? The American doctor I interviewed last week, by the way, was volunteering at Nassar Hospital. Yeah, so, so if there were American hospitals on that floor, they would have also been dead, but they don't care about killing Americans, they've killed many Americans, and the American government's response has been, how much would you like?

We'd like to pay you for murdering more American citizens because you're our special ally that has bribed all of us, okay, legally bribed. Okay, so now, so they hit a hospital, that's layer number one. Number two is they were trying to hit the journalist in the hospital. Wow. Number three is the rescue workers go to rescue people in the hospital and the reporters, and they've got orange vests on.

You saw it with your own eyes, right? Those were as clear rescue workers as you've ever seen. They're in a bomb site, they're trying to pull people out, they have orange vests on. And Israel sees them as clear as you do, right? Because they have excellent technology. And as that same American doctor explained, there's a drone that is kind of, constant in all the Palestinian cities in Gaza and they're constantly monitoring and have excellence surveillance. So they knew for a fact that they were murdering rescue

workers and hitting a hospital and hitting journalists. So look, they've killed more human rights workers than any other conflict. They've killed more reporters now. They're up to 231 since-240 according to the UN. Okay, 240 now. I mean, four just got added today, right? So they've They've killed 240 journalists, that is more than all other conflicts on earth combined. They're slaughtering the journalists, why? Because they don't want anybody to see their crimes. That's what criminals do, that's what murderers do. They try to clean up the witnesses by killing them.

And so they're killing them right in front of your eyes though. And this is them partly rub, I mean, they'll go and deny it, they'll say no, everyone there was a terrorist. They have a different cover story today. Uh huh, yeah, there was a terrorist there once. And then there was a mistake and we're investigating it. And we'll get back to you, they never get back to you. They never investigated, they're giant liars.

And they murder, murder, murder, murder, murder. And they're like, it doesn't matter. We can murder endlessly because we have the American government on our side. And the American taxpayers are made to pay for all of our crimes. Yeah, that's exactly right. So the bomb that was used, the two bombs, I guess, because it was a double tap. They hit the hospital twice, paid for by the US taxpayer. Congratulations. Having trouble with your health care? Too bad. It's just beyond frustrating.

Now, Israel really remains undeterred in regard to committing all sorts of war crimes since the United States has emboldened them to do anything and everything they want. We give them the bombs to do it. Now, Israeli military spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani, did confirm the strikes on X and pretended as though targeting journalists is not part of their policy. It absolutely is. Earlier today, Monday, IDF troops carried out a strike in the area of Nassar Hospital in Kahn Yunus. The chief of the general staff instructed to conduct an initial inquiry as soon as possible. They're investigating. And it was not in the area of the hospital,

it was on the hospital. It was on the hospital, yeah, but don't worry, they're investigating. They got people working around the clock. The IDF regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and does not target journalists as such. You guys have killed 240 journalists in in Gaza will not allow reporters, international reporters to enter the Gaza Strip to do their jobs and report on the ground. And that's very much intentional because Israel's carrying out a genocide and they still want their pathetic defenders in the United States to have plausible deniability. But I'm sorry brothers and sisters.

We've seen the IDF's internal documents indicating that 83% of people that they've killed in Gaza are civilians, 83%. 83%, you're gonna tell me this isn't a genocide, you're gonna tell me this isn't the intentional slaughter of innocence, of doctors, of journalists, of first responders who are trying to rescue people, it is, it is, it is, it absolutely is. And anyone who's trying to tell you otherwise is just lying to you. Netanyahu pretends like he, you know, deeply regrets what happened, Israel deeply regrets the tragic mishap that occurred today, mishap. How do you, how is a double strike, okay, a double tap, a mishap.

It is a mishap, I'll explain. Okay, go ahead. Yeah, it's a mishap because it's on tape. So they do this all the time, but they never apologize and they never pretend that there's going to be an inquiry unless it's already on tape. Because once it's on tape, you can't say, oh, you didn't do a double tap. We all just saw it with our own eyes, right? If it's not on tape, it never happened.

plus they were all terrorists, plus they deserved it, plus we didn't do it, plus we're awesome, send us more money, right? But when they have it on tape, and it bothers people viscerally, then they go, oh, do we're, it's a mishap, mishaped, son of a bitch caught it on tape, we'll murder him later, okay? But we'll try to keep that one off camera. But that's why they're pretending, otherwise they don't even pretend. So, and so now, look, two things about that. One is, unless Israel allow international journalists to do their jobs on the ground in Gaza, okay, American journalists and media organizations need to stop regurgitating the lies coming from the Israelis. Yeah, how about that?

So the Israeli government has the worst track record I have ever seen in the middle of a conflict. They make Baghdad Bob look incredible. So Baghdad Bob was this hilarious propagandist for Saddam Hussein, and he'd say things like there are no Americans in Baghdad as American tanks were rolling behind them, okay? And the Israelis are like, no, we've killed no one in Gaza, and we've been so careful in Gaza. You see all of Gaza's leveled, all the hospitals are gone, all the schools are gone, and you have an 83% civilian kill ratio. And our moronic anchors on cable news are still like, no, but Israel denies it. No, no, no. Israel's great. Israel's awesome. They say it was

all Hamas. Hamas, Hamas. You apologize for Hamas. You condemn Hamas. Okay, that's how they start. every stupid interview two years into a bloody slaughterhouse in Gaza. Okay, how you should start an interview is do you condemn Israel, which is obviously acting as a terrorist state. But to me, the thing that I was going to mention is, I mean, of all the billion things I get under my skin in this conflict is, so we just took away health care from 12 million people in the last budget bill, okay?

In America, yeah. In America. So 12 million Americans will not get healthcare because we don't have enough money. but we send money to Israel to kill health care workers in Gaza. We ran out of health care for us because we were too busy helping Israel murder health care workers in Gaza, let alone the fact that they have universal health care and paid family leave and Iron Dome. And they have everything we don't have.

We have a $37 trillion debt. They have almost no debt because we're the suckers paying for everything for Israel, including their slaughter of journalists and health care workers and any witnesses. Why are we still funding these disgusting terrorists? Limited time only at participating Wendy's Taxes Extra. All right, I'm going to not take a break yet. I'm going to go to the second part of this because it is the type of honest and accurate reporting that we've been doing on what's happening in Gaza that has made us and me in particular a pretty big. big target for certain nefarious groups in the United States. So stop anti-Semitism, which

is, I believe, the same group that clownishly went after Jennifer Gardner's little girl because she was wearing a shirt that had a watermelon design on it. Okay, they're the same folks that are now coming after me. And so they posted something that I need to obviously refute because it's a lie. And then I'm going to tell you what the reality is. So they posted this on X. Anna Casparian isn't just spreading hate on her podcast. She uses X and YouTube to push anti-Semitic conspiracies. Oh, do I? So they say that I claim that Jews occupy and control the United States. I've never once said that Jews occupy and control the United States. I did say that Israel controls the United States, and I meant it. How are you going to argue otherwise?

Okay, almost every single lawmaker on the left or right does the bidding of the Israeli government, either because they are legally bribed by APAC, or they're afraid that APAC is going to target them in some political campaign so they don't win reelection. I believe there's also a possibility of a blackmail operation. But yeah, I mean, we do anything and everything Israel wants. Why are the United States taxpayers tasked with paying? for the bombs and the military of a foreign government when that foreign government had an economic surplus in 2021. The United States hasn't had an economic surplus since 2001.

So yeah, our government is controlled by Israel. And I do not apologize for saying that. Let me go to the next one. Called pro-Israel lawmakers, scum, and traders. I stand by that entirely, said Israeli celebrated 9-11. Let's talk about that briefly. When it comes to Israelis celebrating 9-11, I remember Netanyahu on two different occasions said some positive things about what happened on 9-11, for the Israelis, of course. Let's go to graphic four. As tonight, this was by the way, New York Times published September 12th, 2001. As tonight what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel, Benjamin

Netanyahu, the former prime minister, replied, it's very good. And he edited himself, well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy, meaning sympathy for Israel. That's what he was worried about. That's what he was thinking about, sympathy for Israel. So they could murder more Muslims, take more of their land. He predicted that the attack would strengthen the bond between our two peoples because we've experienced terror over so many decades.

But the United States has now experienced a massive hemorrhaging of terror. He sounds thrilled. In 2008, Netanyahu was quoted by the Israeli newspaper, Ma Reeve, as having told an audience at a university that the 9-11 attacks had been beneficial for Israel, quote, we are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon and the American struggle in Iraq. I mean, he just says it, right? He says it out loud.

So. So what's up with that anti-Semitism? Like, you're going to come at me for stating the truth? Okay, let's go to the rest of the list. Labeled, this is a lie, labeled Jews demons. No, no, no, no. I labeled the IDF and the Israeli government and anyone in Israel that continues to support the slaughter of innocence in Gaza, demons. I said they like to think of themselves as God's chosen people, but they act like demons.

And I stand by that. When you're killing innocent people, don't hide behind your religious doctrine to make yourself out to be a good person. I never once uttered the word Jews, and I never will. And by the way, super defamatory to intentionally conflate the disgusting terroristic garbage that currently resides in the Israeli government to Jews all across the globe. Finally, called Israel's flag modern day Nazis, when have I ever talked about Israel's flag? I talked about the IDF members committing war crimes and the Israeli government, modern day Nazis, and I stand by that. Now, the other thing I want to just talk about is that they keep talking about, oh, Anna's spreading these conspiracy theories.

All these conspiracy theories about, you know, what was it? Here we go. Said Israeli celebrated 9-11. Okay, now what did I mean by that? Look, you can't blame me when ABC News speaks to an American witness who saw what she saw on 9-11. Here's the report. It began when this woman was watching the Twin Towers burning from her apartment in New Jersey. She noticed three men on top of a van, posing for pictures with the towers burning in the background.

And I could see that they were like happy. You know, they didn't look shocked to me. You know, they didn't look sharp. I thought it was very strange. The witness called police, who stopped the van hours later and arrested five men. All five, it turns out, were. Israeli. They were turned over to the FBI. Sources tell ABC News. During a check of national security databases, some of the men were

listed as having had connections with Israeli intelligence. At the FBI, that set off alarm bells. Now, the five Israelis who, according to that witness, were seen celebrating as they were taking photos of the Twin Towers burning, later were released back to Israel. They were interviewed during a talk show. And one of them said, look, we were just there to Document the events. By the way, the moving truck, they claimed that they were working for a moving company. It was a shell organization with ties to Israel. It wasn't an actual moving company.

Inside the moving truck were all sorts of passports, all sorts of recording devices, all sorts of strange materials. Yeah. But anyway, that's what I was referring to when I was talking about the celebrating Israelis. Those five men were Israelis, and according to that witness, they were seen, celebrating. They seemed jovial as the United States was suffering one of the were actually the worst terrorist attack in American history. Yeah, so I want to tackle the video and then the overall charges. So first about the video,

people get really emotional about it. They get so oh, that's so very wrong. You're not allowed to show an ABC news video. You're not allowed to show a Fox News video. They did exhaustive, actually back when they did investigative reporting, investigating reporting about this as well. And so it turns out we captured a lot of Israeli spies after 9-11. And you're not going to be shocked to find out what happened next. We let them all go. We let them go. We let them go back to Israel. So those are indisputable facts. And you can look them up. And so my question is, if those folks, the five spies in that particular story were confirmed as spies and they were, why did we release them? That's super strong.

Isn't it? When you catch, normally when a country catches a spy, they never released them. You might do a spy exchange, you might kill the spy, you might keep the spy in jail forever for the rest of their lives, but you never return them for no reason back to their home country unless that country is controlling your country, okay? And so why, and the answer that no one can give, all they just do is huff and puff, huff and puff. Oh, you can't show that video, don't show the video, don't, don't, don't. Don't tell people what the Israelis are up to.

Don't tell them that the spies were released, okay? Well, kiss my ass. We are telling them, and we're telling them because it is about the government of Israel and stop slandering our brothers and sisters who are Jewish Americans who had nothing to do with it. They were not part of a spy operation, Mossad didn't call them, no, this is the government of Israel. So last thing on the video, that, when they go back to Israel and they say, one of the guys says, we were there to document the events. No one can answer, what does he mean?

How did you know there was going to be an event on 9-11? How did you know to pull the van up before the towers were hit? To take the pictures in the video. Why were you celebrating? But forget the celebration. Forget, I don't care. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. What I want to know is, how did you know?

How did you know there was going to be an event? So of course, that's why groups like this flip out because that could show you what Israel's actually been up to. And they're trying to get YouTube to demonetize me. Like that's the whole reason why they put up that post. And their whole effort is to, let's just keep it real. They're just trying to intimidate me, right? And a lot of people, I get it, I understand why they would fall victim to that intimidation.

And they would maybe back off of these stories and not cover them and not talk about them. But with a bitch like me, I'm not gonna shut my mouth and I'm not gonna be intimidated. As an American, who's protected by the First Amendment, who is tasked with doing a job that requires me to dig in, not get scared and run away, like a little bitch, right? I'm the kind of bitch that likes to dig in. And I'm not gonna be intimidated by someone who has far more concerned with a foreign country as opposed to our country here in America. I'm an American, I'm gonna look out for America.

So guys, you have to realize how the Israelis threaten in different ways, anyone who dares to criticize them in America. So you saw them doing it on college campuses. First they started arresting the kids who were for peace. Then they started taking away their diplomas. Then they started putting together black lists and saying you'll never be hired on Wall Street, et cetera. A number of financiers said that.

That's just a reality. That's a, and they brag about it. They say, if you protest Israel, never hire you. Now those guys are traitors, they work for a different government, okay? So now, but on top of that, they went further and further than they said, okay, denaturalized people, deport people. Anyone who writes an op-ed about us, have mass men kidnapped them in the streets of America, send them to a gulag. Because criticizing Israel should be unacceptable in America. Know who rules you, okay?

So then when I started criticizing Israel, IDF wrote my mind. name on a bomb. Yep, okay. That was early on. Yeah, and then an Israeli agent in a debate we had on air called me a parasite. So that is literal Nazi language, okay, dehumanizing people. What was amazing is in the next debate I had at UCLA with an Israeli, a lawyer supporting Israel, she also called me a parasite.

Now see, I get an Israeli agent doing it, but when a lawyer sent by Israel also says it, that's them sending a message. You're trying to dehumanize you so somebody will do damage to you, okay? These are sick thugs. And the last time we talked about it last week, Canary Mission, another thuggish organization supporting Israel and against our government, put out a hit piece on Anna. And she got, we showed you the endless death threats she got. Because they're trying to encourage stochastic terrorism.

If anyone criticized Israel, threaten their lives, threaten their lively. Why the demonization? Because that's a classic trick, right? You just go to the mainstream media in the old days, but now social media as well. Take their money away, take everything from them, they have to fight Israel, right? So these are the terrorist thugs operating inside this country that have allegiance to a different country. So, and by the way, organizations like this also target Jewish Americans, and they call them self-haters. So it has nothing to do with religion, and don't you dare,

confuse it with attacking people who are Jewish who had nothing to do with this. We're not like them, we're not thugs like them, we're not terrorists like them, okay? So if you attack a Jewish person, I guarantee you it's gonna be the wrong person and there is no right person. Attacking anyone is what thuggish terrorists like the Israeli government does, not what good, decent, moral people do, okay? So, and by the way, some of the top leaders in the peace movement, as we've said a billion times on the show are Jewish. So why do they lie about those two things that Anna mentioned claim that Jews occupy and control the US and Jews are demons when she never said Jews and they know it. It's on tape.

They do know it, yeah. Yeah, and she clearly was referring to the Israeli government for a couple of reasons. Number one, they want to pretend it's about anti-Semitism. They want to use Jews as human shields. Exactly. Okay, oh, you're not attacking a government. You're attacking all Jews, you're evil and hateful, you're a terrible person. Don't worry about Israel's war crimes.

Don't worry that we're starving babies to death, okay? No, no, we're not hateful for murdering those children. You're hateful for pointing it out. And but you see, it doesn't work when it's a government. So I have to pretend that you said it about Jews when no one said it about Jews. Again, my Jewish friends never got a call, hey, would you like to control the US government? That is not at all how it works, it has nothing to do with that. It is the government of Israel that has through organizations like APAC,

bought the great majority of our Congress. And if anybody says that, you can verify it. You can see, oh, APEC has contributed to 65% of Congress. And when you include the rest of the Israeli lobby, it's nearly all of Congress. So when there's a letter that was sent around the other day to recognize Palestine as a state, which actually is official U.S. policy, only 13 members of Congress signed it. Yeah. So time and time again, 98% of Congress,

votes with Israel. Okay, and again, by the way, usually the people who stand up and don't vote in that direction, half of them are usually Jewish, right? And then they get labeled as anti-Semites anyway, or self-haters. Self-haters, exactly. Look, let's end on a fun note, believe it or not, because there is a fun note to this. Really? Yeah.

So Stop Antisemitism's X account has just posted about a woman who on her, she's on Hinge, one of those dating apps. On her dating app profile, she had posted a photo of herself and she wanted to share her disdain for Donald Trump, who she refers to as the tangerine toddler, okay? So stop anti-semitism posts like a screenshot of her profile, and it says she wrote, I'm weirdly attracted to people who dislike the tangerine toddler as much as I do and who care about human rights with a Palestinian flag and a Ukrainian flag. Okay, we'll stop anti-Semitism, post a screenshot of that and says, how sadistic does one have to be to refer to a murdered Jewish child as a tangerine toddler?

So you just made it up? She's talking about. She's talking about Trump. She's talking about the president. No, no. They're like, no, to them, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail, right? So they're like, okay, slaughter all the anti-Israel critics, right? Archisemite, anti-Semite, right?

It's not a toddler, they're not talking about, they're talking about Trump. Who gets anti-Semite, anti-Semite. They were just triggered by seeing a Palestinian flag in her profile. Of course they were. That's all it was. Because why, you know why they hate Palestinians. They think Palestinians are inferior to them. There's six supremacists who say, no, and Israeli life is worth everything.

And by the way, Israeli lives are precious just like all human lives. That's why we were against October 7th and we were outraged by it. One of these knuckleheads was like, I can't believe your first words on air after October 7th was goddamn Hamas. Wait, how is that a bad thing? Thank you for showing that we were outraged after October 7th, right? And then when you flipped around, you as an Israel, then murdered 60 times the number of civilians had 60 October 7s. 60, murdered 500 times the number of children and started to starve a population in its entirety. Collective punishment, obvious genocide, you don't get to hide behind, oh, we're protecting

people against bigotry. No, you are the bigots. You are the bigots who say that a Palestinian life is worth nothing. And you should get to slaughter them endlessly. And if anybody complies, take away their money, take away their job. take away their freedom on behalf of Israel. No, this is America. And if you come for Americans like this,

at some point all of America is going to rise up and they should. And we should realize that Israel is not an ally. They're a force within the country that is constantly robbing us blind. They've already taken $310 billion from us. And when you ask them why, they say, you owe us. What the hell do I know you for? We don't, Americans don't owe you anything. We've already given you way too much.

We never should have given you anything, let alone $300 billion, let alone in the middle of a genocide. So the government of Israel is run by a bunch of sick terrorists and people who work as stop anti-Semitism and Canary Mission are working for them and against the American people and hiding behind good Jewish people in this country. And by the way, putting them in danger by being disgusting pro-terrorists while pretending that they speak for all Jews. Stop hurting our Jewish friends and family by doing these kind of monstrous actions and putting a genocide on them when they don't deserve it. They didn't do it. It was your sick Israeli friends who did it. And why don't you own up to that and be truthful for the first time in your life? And they never will.

Instead, they'll go back to the same old things. Oh, yeah, we should threaten them. threaten them. How can America's dare to have freedom of speech? You must end America's freedom of speech on behalf of Israel. But, hey, me burning your constitution for a foreign government, if you complain, you know what they're going to do, anti-Semite, fire him, arrest them, take away his livelihood, make sure you destroy all of Israel's enemies. But you're not allowed to say it. Well, we just said it. So go ahead and kiss my American ass, you bunch of Israeli pigs. All right, we got to take a break.

We'll be right back. Robert Dickerson, YouTube member, says, some people want dictators. Yeah, Trump, me, myself, and I, yep. Quincy McGoo says, heck no, please bring the National Guard to New York City, take care of all the attacks on the subways and in Central Park. So, no, look, if you're a conservative and you say we should hire more cops in New York City to take care of the crime in the subways, et cetera, that's a perfectly legitimate argument. And we could have that discussion, we could have that debate,

and there's, depending on the numbers, I might even agree with you, right? But if you say bringing the Marines, no, this is not a third world country. This is not a banana republic. And we do not want tyranny in our streets. And that's what the military is going to be. It's going to be controlled by Palantir really soon. And soon, you forget it burning the American flag. You say anything against Israel.

Oh, look, there's the military right there. And God knows what they're going to do to you. If you're a conservative, take out your don't tread on me flag and fly it high. Okay, because they're treading all over you. Sir Nico the Great says we have PTSD as a nation, and thus we traded freedom for security. I'm worried about it. So Brian Schwartz says Israel, unfortunately, has much more of a voice of representation here than our minorities do, just saying. 100% of course, of course.

Than anybody, than any American, are you kidding me? Yeah, and by the way, pro-peace Jewish Americans, they don't have much voice either. Canary Mission has Jewish Voices for Peace as part of their hit list. Literally, go to their website, you'll see it. Yeah, because Jewish voices are known to be anti-Semitic all the time. I mean, it's absurd. They're not even trying to cover up how ludicrous and insane they are. And so they're not, it has nothing to do with anti-Semitism.

The correct name for that organization should be, stop anyone who would dare criticize inside America and make them and pay a price for not being loyal to a foreign government, okay? And if it's Jewish Americans, even worse, how dare they betray Israel? No, they're Americans at- Okay, they don't work for you, okay? And they don't work for your terrorist government. They're good people. Clody three, two, four, one says, honest question, Jake, where do you draw the line when

it comes to resisting, the fascism that is clearly visible from the Trump regime? At some point, working with them is more hurtful to the cause. Guys, there's no working with them on the military takeover, et cetera. But so when Marjorie Taylor Green does, shows humanity, which she did again for Gossens and Tom Massey does, you say, oh, that's good. You encourage the good things that folks are doing, but that's, how is that working with them on the things we hate, like the military in the streets? I just make it make sense.

I know, I know, look, look, I know. Some people are worried- The left has no power, they're disorganized, they love infighting, and they love losing. So please explain to me how we win on anything by like walling ourselves off even more and purging people who we consider heretics. I just, I need to understand, I really need to understand. Because my entire life on the big issues that really matter, say for a few things like gay marriage getting legalized, things have only gotten worse.

They've only gotten worse. The more polarized the country is, gotten, the more people go into their little tribal corners and refuse to work with each other on things where they might be like minded, the more we fail. The more things continue to deteriorate. So I don't, what is the solution? You know what? How about this?

I'm open minded and I'm willing to listen. In lieu of let's say building a coalition on specific issues like ending the genocide and slaughter in Gaza with people like Marjorie Green or Thomas Massey, in lieu of that, since That's so naughty. What's the other solution? Let me know. I would love to know. Yeah. Because if you look, some on the left are saying, no, we just work with more establishment Democrats and corporate Democrats and will form a coalition with them. But they love funding Israel's genocide. How many of the corporate Democrats have spoken out against what's happening? Zero. None. None of the corporate Democrats have spoken out or voted to defund Israel or signed a letter

They're saying the Palestine, Palestine should exist. No, I think working with- Corporate Democrats are the worst on this issue. No, I think working with Congresswoman Slotkin would definitely yield better results. You know, she seems to have a lot of clarity about the genocide. If you think corporate Democrats are going to hold Israel accountable, you just don't know American politics. You just, they all, almost all of those corporate Democrats work for Israel. They all are funded by A-PAC or other Israeli lobbies.

So they're not going to, they're not the answer, okay? Anyways, I know you were asking a legit question and it's a fine question. And I know people worry about it, right? We don't want to give them credibility or legitimacy. But guys, they're voters in Georgia aren't watching the young Turks and going, oh, because Marjorie Taylor Green was good on one issue, I'm going to vote for her. They're all in different bubbles. So, and then we, when she says something terrible, when then we oppose her with a hundred

percent of our might. So anyways, it's okay, we're all working this out together. Michael Catalano says, I'm a mailman in Ohio. Today, one of my customers hunting a large Palestinian flag from his window. He lives in a deep red area and still got tons of love. Look, go check out shopt,uit.com. We've got the free Palestine collection now. All of the money goes, all the proceeds, the profits goes to children's, Palestinian children's relief fund and show that, hey, as Americans, we love the Palestinians. We are not the sick, degenerate crooks who are our politicians. Okay, so check it out at shopt,u.t.com.

Last one, Titan says, in my focus, in college, my focus was history. I switched later to computer science, but I'm still a history nerd. I look at our country and I see what has happened throughout history. I don't see a happy ending. In history, bad slash evil people win a lot. I hear you brother and it's hard not to get pessimistic in these dark times. But in the members only episode today, I'll start talking about why I think things are going to get a little worse. And then why is that an opportunity for things to get better?

It's so it's super important. There's a phenomenon coming that is going to change everything, okay? And we have to be prepared for it, and we have to have a good strategy. And a good strategy is not telling over 50% of the country, that they're racist, fascist, and we hate them, and we reject them, and we don't want their votes. That is a terrible strategy. The world's worst political strategy, please do not enable that. All right, we'll be right back.
