You're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and
rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. So All right, welcome to The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur Jordan here with you guys.
Look, every day we come in in a slightly different mood, or at least I do, because partly of
what's in the news, right?
And today disastrous things's in the news, right? And today disastrous things are in
the news.
And so I'm so
mad about the starvation going on
in Gaza that I can't see straight.
I'm going to say some super harsh
things on this show, and
it is well deserved by Israel,
well deserved.
It's also well deserved by every
liar, propagandists and
mainstream media, bigots,
racists, almost all of them.
They think Muslim lives don't
matter at all, that Israeli feelings
are worth 1,000 Palestinian babies.
That's our mainstream media,
they're sick people,
they're very disgusting people.
So I got a lot more where that came
from, okay?
So yes, we're of course going to
talk about domestic politics and Trump and all that.
And then at some point in this first hour, Jordan and I once had a debate.
Jordan, get ready for this, buckle up, brace for impact.
I'm going to admit that you were right, okay?
So you have that to look forward to.
Okay, which debate was it?
What was it about?
Well, you're going to find out later in this hour. All of them, all of them. Okay, all right, so let's get started.
Take a look at this. Do you believe that any of this new information implicates former President
Obama in criminal behavior? We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of
Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this.
For even former President Obama?
Correct, the evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President
Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment.
A day after director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made clear that the administration
would consider prosecuting Obama and other members of his administration. The Department
of Justice has announced the formation of a strike force to potentially follow through.
As we've covered on the show
already, Gabbard and the Trump administration are trying to accuse Obama of treason, for they claim,
manipulating information about Russia's role in the 2016 election.
But none of the declassified documents Tulsi has released actually appear to prove wrongdoing.
Nonetheless, they're going full steam ahead.
The Justice Department released a statement saying today, the Department of Justice announced
the formation of a strike force to assess the evidence publicized by DNI Tulsi Gabbard
and investigate potential next legal steps, which might stem from DNI Gabbard's disclosures.
This department takes alleged
weaponization of the intelligence community with the utmost
seriousness.
Attorney General Pam Bondi added,
the Department of Justice is proud to work with my friend,
Director Gabbard.
And we are grateful for her
partnership in delivering accountability for
the American people.
We will investigate these troubling
disclosures fully and leave no
stone unturned to deliver justice.
Now, senators Lindsey Graham and
John Cornyn are calling on
Pam Bondi to appoint a special
counsel to investigate Barack Obama
and senior members of his
administration.
But the administration's massive accusations
of coups and treason are so absurd that many other conservatives are pouring cold water
on them already.
Before we get to that though, Cenk, what do you think of this? Do you think anything will
become of this DOJ strike force?
Yeah, at first I was almost amused by it because it's such an absurd proposition. And I'm gonna
break down for
you guys in just a little bit in
this video, why there's absolutely
no merit to this, a joke.
Tulsi Gabbard is the biggest fraud.
She's one of the most dishonest,
disgusting people I've seen in
American politics, okay?
Let me be super clear about it,
because she knows with 100%
certainty that she's lying about
this, I'm no longer amused.
These people are sick, okay?
This is of course a distraction,
trying to be a distraction from
the Epstein files.
But the fact that people in our
government lie with this kind of
ease, these kind of enormous lies
should be greatly disturbing to all
of us.
But it's, I don't know,
maybe I'm too idealistic.
But I would love one representative,
one, one who is not a giant liar,
who doesn't make up things all
the time and try to drive us apart.
So now they're trying to rile up
MAGA, hate Obama, hate Obama,
he's treason, go get him.
There's no bigger critic of Obama
on the left than me.
Obama's done a thousand things
wrong and I can tell you exactly
what he did wrong.
But this ain't one of them.
This is super stupid.
And if you're at look, I know,
nobody listens, everybody's tribal,
I got it, right?
And again, I'm exaggerating here
because I'm pissed.
I think there are people in
the middle, I think they do get
moved, etc.
But if you're among the tribalists
and you're a right wing tribalist
on this and say,
I don't care about facts,
Obama's guilty, okay?
You don't know anything,
and you don't care.
You don't care, you just want my
tribe, my tribe, I hate your tribe,
okay?
So in a minute, I'm going to break
down why I'm so angry. because this is junk,
total utter junk.
So go ahead, Jordan.
Yes, of course.
So in response to Tulsi Gabbard's
so called bombshell,
the National Review and
the Wall Street Journal,
both conservative papers,
have published editorials
rejecting her conclusions.
National Review was still pretty
generous in their assessment,
agreeing with the administration
that Trump was the victim of one of
the most insidious dirty tricks in
American political history.
The Clinton campaign used the bogus
steel dossier to manufacture the
Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
Obama administration officials picked up the story and ran with it. But they write Trump
and Gabbard go further, treating the accurate portion of the democratic narrative as though
it too were a fiction. Russia did indeed try, however ine ineffectively to interfere in the election.
Trump CIA Director John Radcliffe
has attested to it.
They also agreed with right wing
claims that Obama abused his power
in an effort to undermine Trump.
But conceded that those who would
argue that this abuse of power
constitutes a crime should remember that Trump and
his team have avidly proclaimed
that presidents must have immunity
from criminal prosecution for
acts within the broad ambit of
executive power.
They conclude, we have had enough,
more than enough, lawfare.
A similar argument to the one made
by conservatives at the Wall Street
Journal. Some Republicans on cable news are dismissing Trump's treason accusations too,
including lawyer and Fox News contributor, Andy McCarthy. Take a look. doubt that Obama was complicit up to his neck in what I think was the worst political dirty trick
in American history. The issue narrowly is whether there's any crime that comes out of that
under circumstances where even President Trump spent all of 2024 telling people that presidents
have to have complete immunity from prosecution and this all happened nine years ago. Look, they were throwing around the word treason the last couple of days, which
is preposterous because treason is making war on the United States or aiding our wartime enemies,
which obviously didn't happen here.
But today, Tulsi doubled down, this time hilariously claiming that
Obama is guilty of treason for
obstructing a peaceful transition
of power.
Take a look.
When we look at our Democratic
Republic, Charlie, our system is
built on the foundation of
the American people casting their
votes for who they want to be in
office to be our president and
commander in chief. In this system who they want to be in office, to be our president and commander
in chief.
In this system, there is to be a peaceful transition of power. What we saw play out
here was President Trump was elected by the American people in 2016, shocking most people
in the United States and apparently even Russia and Putin didn't think that he would win.
Instead of accepting that this is the will of the people, what we saw is President Obama
convening his national security team and concocting this contrived false narrative through the
production of this intelligence community assessment in January 2017.
With the specific intent of subverting the will of the American people and trying
to delegitimize President Trump's election.
And therefore everything that he had been charged to do by the American people over
the next four years.
So yes, this is a treasonous conspiracy that subverts the will of the American people. Cenk, what do you make of this? It seems like there's nothing that Tulsi won't say if it
helps her politically, professionally, personally.
Okay, three things to start with and then the heart of the case. I'm super proud that
Young Turks was the show that first exposed what a fraud Tulsi Gabbard is. That's back
when she was pretending to be a progressive, and we told you guys she's
not a progressive, she's a giant fraud.
A lot of people were angry at the time, they thought, no, why trust Tulsi more than the
young Turks?
How'd that turn out?
Okay, told you, giant fraud, all she wants is power.
She's willing to say anything to get it, and she knows none of this is true.
Okay, point number two,
as you pointed out Jordan.
So Trump said, the president should
get to do whatever he wants,
take home national secrets.
They even said in the Supreme
Court, they asked them,
can the president order SEAL Team 6
to murder a political opponent?
And they were like, could be,
could be.
And the Supreme Court's like,
you guys are right,
the president should be totally
immune, which was outrageous.
It's outrageous when Trump is
immune, it's outrageous when
Obama's immune.
There's an actual thing you can go
after Obama on, which I'll get to
in a little bit.
I don't want immunity,
I don't want immunity for
any of them.
But you asked for immunity,
you asked for total blanket
immunity.
So now are you going to say, no,
only Trump should have immunity,
but no other presidents should?
And they probably will, because
they don't care about principles.
They don't care about anything.
There's no ideology.
This is a naked power grab, right?
So okay, now let's go to the heart
of it, by the way, okay, so
here I'll say it.
So a lot of people wrote in and
they're right because we say it on
the air all the time.
We said when Obama was in charge,
we say it now.
Liz Smith is a YouTube member said
I think Obama should be in jail too,
but for extra
judicially killing American
citizens.
See, now that's a smart point made
by a lot of our members also on
Twitch, OctoSquiddies,
Green New Dealers, Dragon.
They're all making the same point.
So if you wanted to go after Obama,
the thing that you would focus on
is he ordered extrajudicial
killings of American citizens.
Those are the drone strikes on
Anwar Al-Awlaki, and by the way,
on a 16-year-old son and
an eight-year-old daughter,
in three separate killings, okay?
But the CIA tells us it was all
a coincidence.
Yeah, maybe, maybe, or maybe they're
covering up again, right?
And Obama, what he did there was
outrageous.
So does it look like I'm defending
Obama?
No, but why won't they go after
Obama on the real thing,
on the drone strikes?
because they do drone strikes.
Why don't they go after Obama for
going outside of due process?
because they go after due process.
Why didn't the Democrats go after
Biden for not releasing the FC bus
because he's a Democrat?
Why didn't the Republican politicians, at least some of them are now because of their
base rebelling, but 98% of them are, daddy Trump, daddy Trump.
When the Democrats are in charge, I want the Epstein files, we're in charge, no Epstein
files, right?
So I'm sick of the liars in our government.
So the heart of this case, so everyone agrees that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
If you're gonna get mad, Tulsi. If you're going to get mad,
Tulsi, and you're a right winger,
Tulsi Gabbard said that in this
cycle of news.
She's like, yes, of course,
Russia did interfere.
Every Republican agrees.
Every Republican in the intelligence
committee, including acting
Chairman Marco Rubio.
So Russia interfered in
the 2016 election.
Okay, second thing everybody
agrees on, including all Democrats,
is that Trump and
Russia were not colluding.
So good, we solved it,
we solved it.
Russia tried to interfere, but
Trump didn't work with them.
And that's a big win for
Trump and the Republicans,
not good enough.
No, so what are we going to do?
Her case is, even though we all
agree on that, and
she doesn't dispute that,
she says the reason that Obama
should be convicted of treason.
And by the way, if you're convicted of treason,
we kill you.
So she's saying the former
president should be killed by
the United States government, why?
because of these two super
important things.
One is that Putin was not pro Trump.
He was anti Hillary.
Wow, what a big distinction.
Really?
That's what you're resting all
this junk on?
No, no, no, no, no.
They said that he was pro Trump,
but he wasn't pro Trump.
He was just trying to hurt
Hillary in the campaign.
That's why he hacked into her
emails, left Trump's emails alone,
right?
And that's why he put all this
damaging information about Hillary
and he planned to damage her after
the election by making it seem
the election was illegitimate.
So he was anti Hillary and
who's Hillary running against?
Yeah, Donald Trump, but
he wasn't pro Trump, so treason.
I can't even understand
that distinction,
but that distinction is treason?
What are you talking about?
Okay, then the second thing she
hangs her hat on is Russia did not
hack in to the voting booths and
they did not hack the vote.
Who said they did?
Show me one time Barack Obama or
really any elected Democrat ever
said the Russians hacked in to
the voting system.
Nobody says that. The intelligence report doesn't say to the voting system. Nobody says that,
the intelligence report doesn't
say that, the Democrats don't say
that, speeches made it up.
They're like, yeah, Obama, Obama,
Obama was saying that the Russians
were hacking into this,
he didn't say that,
you're a giant liar.
So this is just absolutely nothing,
nothing, and they're saying, yeah, but
we should kill a former
president over this.
Disgusting, sick people.
So and if you're a mad guy and
you're like, I don't understand,
why do people not like Trump?
These are among the very valid
reasons why people don't like
Trump, because he makes up crap
that doesn't make any sense.
He's super extreme.
And instead of going after things
that are real, he's like,
my feelings have to be protected.
And nobody should talk about
the Epstein files,
now that everybody knows I'm in
them.
So that's why all of you go protect
me.
So what, I was great pals with
a pedophile, and maybe or
maybe not I was participated in.
But you all go protect me and kill
Obama because Putin was anti-Hillary
but not pro-Trump. That's why we hate him.
Yeah, I wanna touch on a couple things here. I mean, the Tulsi flip-flop, I mean, she has
done this multiple times. But I wanna point out how, yes, TYT in the
audience was early. But people in Hawaii very early were pointing out how she was a fraud.
Many progressives, advocates, activists on the ground in Hawaii were warning about Tulsi
not being a true progressive.
And I feel bad for the Bernie campaign that they
didn't recognize that. I think there's plenty of things you can criticize every campaign for,
but I think talent selection is something that has plagued the Bernie campaigns in both cycles,
sadly. And then just this idea that Obama should be under criminal prosecution for
supporting this endeavor.
When you say, there are many
things I'd like to see Obama face
repercussions for, but none of
those seem to break from
Republican priorities.
I mean, this is a guy who
ultimately let bankers off the hook
for the financial collapse.
Like you're saying,
there's extrajudicial killings,
violation of due process. They were spying on journalists for years. There are plenty of things to dislike Obama for,
but the problem is when you ultimately have a uniparty in this country, they're all doing
the same things. And it's also why it's so tough to get any progress or real momentum
on getting money out of politics, because both parties benefit from it.
When both parties are culpable,
no one's going to be held to
account.
So it's a very frustrating thing.
Yeah, lastly on this is that I'm
really glad you said what you said,
Jordan, because where did Ana find
the material that led her to
believe that Tulsi was not at all
on the left and was not at all
progressive?
She had no ideology, mainly right
wing, she was a very progressive left and was not at all progressive. She was basically,
she had no ideology, mainly right
wing, but was willing to say
anything and everything to get to
power.
Well, she did research her record
and her legislative votes,
her comments, etc.
But she also researched what she
did in Hawaii.
The people on the ground in Hawaii,
if you thought you didn't make
a difference by pointing out all of
Tulsi's hypocrisies, you're wrong,
you did, and thank you.
Because of not just grassroots in
Hawaii, but good reporting in
Hawaii, Ana was able to find what
Tulsi Gabbard actually believes,
what her record actually was.
And that's what led her to believe
that she was a fraud.
So guys, you make a difference.
Sometimes it starts as a ripple,
ends up as a wave or
even a tsunami, right?
So go do good journalism,
go be involved in the grassroots.
And so that's a lot of how
independent media finds out about
what's actually happening.
If we relied on mainstream media,
we would know a thing.
So I'm proud of the work we did
there, but I'm even more proud of
the wonderful people in Hawaii who
were trying to point this out to
everyone and no one was listening
to them.
So you were right all along and
thank God that you pointed that
out.
Okay, let's take a break here,
guys.
And when we come back, first,
I'm going to light into Meghan
McCain, she's of course
a contemptible fool.
Then I'm going to light into
Columbia, my alma mater,
as humiliating as that is now.
And I'm going to tell you something
that nobody else is telling you
about Columbia, okay?
Poor little Columbia, my ass.
So, and then the starvation story.
All right, we'll be back. This Friday, may I speak freely?
I prefer English.
The Naked Gun is the most fun you can have in theaters.
Yeah, let's go.
Without getting arrested.
Is he serious?
Is he serious?
No.
The Naked Gun, only in theaters Friday. All right, back on TYT, Cenk and Jordan with you guys and also Danny Tamar, Danny, thanks for
joining by hitting the button below.
CDN Norse dog dad, thank you for
gifting a membership on YouTube.
Jack Callahan, who's a member on
TYT.com says, Anna was killer on
Piers Morgan.
Thank you, Jack, appreciate it.
She was, we'll have that up on
TYT.com slash press soon if we
don't already have it up.
And then we'll have a little bit
of a break, and then we'll have a little bit appreciate it. She was, we'll have that up on
tyt.com slash press soon if we
don't already have it up.
What I love about that is that
Israeli supporters are like,
do you see how she's really upset
about a genocide?
Ha ha, she's crazy.
Yeah, keep spreading that clip
around.
Yep, no, we do see it and
we love it, okay?
By the way, buckle up,
Brace for Impact, soon, Anna on Tucker Carlson show. we see it and we love it, okay? By the way, buckle up brace for
impact soon, Anna on Tucker Carlson
show.
So we don't care who catches
feelings, we're going to do
the news here.
And we're going to talk to anybody
who can stop the slaughter in
Israel and we're going to try to
make that happen, okay?
And if people catch feelings over
that, I don't give if people catch feelings over that,
I don't give a goddamn about it.
Okay, Jordan, what's next?
Take a look at this.
Dr. Gabbard, you referenced the past intelligence reports and
assessments on this, including that 2017 one that was signed off
as noted by every Republican on the Senate Intelligence Community,
including the acting chair of the time, now Secretary of State Mark Rubio, who said in his statement that they did not
find any evidence of Russian collusion, but they did find, however, is very troubling
and they found irrefutable evidence of Russian meddling.
One, are you saying that he's wrong in that statement that he made then?
And secondly, what would you say to people who believe that you're only releasing
these documents now to improve your standing with the president after
he said that your intelligence
assessments were wrong?
CNN's Caitlin Collins is getting
pushback from an unlikely foe for
asking those two very challenging
questions during a White House
press briefing yesterday.
Cenk, we're going to listen to
DNI Tulsi Gabbard and
Press Secretary Caroline Levitt's
response in a second.
But what do you make of
those questions?
Yeah, so that was as good a
questions I've seen at
the White House.
So thank you, man,
journalists have broke out for
a minute there.
As always with any mainstream media
report, I've had critiques in
the past, etc.
But what we do on the show is
discredit where discredit is owed
and that's the norm,
that's the rule.
But when there's an exception and
credit is due, we give credit.
Caitlin Collins, excellent question.
So I wish the powerful would be
challenged like that more often.
So of course,
Meghan McCain is going to step in
to try to protect the powerful instead, because she's a dumb ass and she's corrupt and
she's a terrible human being.
So take that away.
Yeah, just hours after this press briefing, Meghan McCain, a former Gabbard critic turned
bestie railed against Collins for doing her job as a reporter, posting this on X.
Caitlin Collins is an absolute
imbecile and pure partisan hack.
That Megan is a mirror.
Have some respect for the two
women standing in front of you who
are exposing lies,
deep corruption, and
keeping the country safe.
The White House should pull her
credentials.
Now if you remember,
Meghan McCain used to be very
critical of Gabbard,
suggesting she was an apologist for
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on
The View back in 2019.
But eventually, the two became
besties and have pretty much been
inseparable.
Last year, McCain posted this to
X.
This woman is actively serving as
a lieutenant colonel in the army and
has put her life on the line for
all of us.
The baseless slander is not only
abhorrent, but it's unpatriotic.
Shame on all of you trafficking and
these lies, America will be safer
with her in the cabinet.
And she also gushed about her on
Michael Malise's You're Welcome
podcast a few months ago.
Take a look.
One of the things we really bond
over is people really love us, but
people also really hate us.
And we both feel misunderstood,
I think, by the media and
have been really targeted for
all the wrong reasons.
And we really bonded over that. And she's just,
I feel very privileged that I get to have this kind of relationship with her because she doesn't
let a lot of people close to her. And she's just funny and fun and kind.
And I can always rely on her when I need, it doesn't matter. She's been in India and
Thailand and traveling right now and I can still text her, I had something happen that I need her advice on, she'll always text me back.
She's just kind and she makes me feel really safe and seen, which I think is a hard thing
in any friendship. And I love her very much and I really regret ever being mean to her. Okay, sure, it's natural to defend your best friend when it's justified. But what exactly
did Collins do to piss McCain off so much? Well, let's watch a bit of the press briefing
to see what happened. Take a look.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has a very different function than the office of the
Director of National Intelligence. The evidence and the intelligence
that has been declassified and
released is irrefutable.
As for your second question,
Caitlin, I think who is saying that
that she would release this to try
to boost her standing with
the president?
Who has said that?
Well, the president has publicly
undermined her when it came to
Iran.
He said she was wrong.
He told me that she didn't know
what she was talking about.
That was on Air Force One,
on camera.
The only people who are suggesting that the director of national
intelligence would release evidence to try to boost her standing with the
president are the people in this room who constantly try to sow distrust and
chaos amongst the president's cabinet and it is not working. I am I will I will
just answer your question directly. I am with the president of the United States
every day he has the utmost confidence in Director Gabbard. He always has, he continues to, and that is true of his entire
cabinet, who is all working as one team to deliver on the promises this President made.
To be clear, Caitlin Collins isn't wrong. Trump did undermine Tulsi Gabbard. Take a look. I think within a matter of weeks or
certainly within a matter of
months, they're going to be able to
have a nuclear weapon.
We can't let that happen.
What intelligence do you have that
Iran is building a nuclear weapon?
Your intelligence community has
said they have no evidence that
they are at this point.
Well, then my intelligence
community is wrong.
Who in the intelligence community
said that?
You're director of national
intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. She's wrong.
But somehow, Collins is in the wrong
for actually pushing the
administration to answer tough
questions, Cenk.
Yeah, okay, so
a lot to point out here.
Let's start with the standard
stuff, the White House should pull
her credentials.
Said the person pretending to be in favor of free
speech.
The Democrats are terrible,
they won't let us say racist
things, the Democrats hate free
speech.
She said something that's
undeniably true about the beloved
president and beloved
Tulsi Yabberd,
get her out of there, cancel her.
Oops, there's cancel culture.
There's your,
never believed in freedom of
speech.
They only believed in their speech,
not anyone else's speech. Okay, so let's be clear about that.
Now let's move on to this particular story.
I mean, speaking of imbeciles and pure partisan hacks, I mean, Megan, that's embarrassing
projection.
You're talking about yourself and it's only a hack,
a partisan hack, which say that,
I can't believe that's such
a bad question.
That is Tulsi Gabbard trying to
make up and get into Donald Trump's
good graces by doing the thing that
Donald Trump cares most about.
Distract people from the Epstein
files and obsess about past
elections and hating Barack Obama
and being better than Barack Obama.
That's a gift wrap for
Donald Trump.
Everybody knows that's what
the egomaniac wants, right?
And why do you have to do that?
because you accidentally told
the truth once and said that Iran
wasn't close to having the bomb.
And he was, I don't like that.
Tulsi told the truth.
Boo, I hate Tulsi now.
She's like, no, no,
I'll make up for it.
I'll make up for it.
I'll make up outrageous lies and
say we should kill Obama for
treason based on those preposterous
lies, right?
Trump's like, me likey,
back to good, back to good.
Like, hey, Meghan, we have eyes,
we're all seeing it, okay?
So who the hell do you think
you are?
You think we're going to trick
everyone?
We saw Trump call out Tulsi,
we saw him trying to get past
the Epstein files with distractions.
And now here comes Tulsi with
the largest distraction you've
ever seen in your life.
Former President Obama committed
treason.
And okay, so she said, and
that little answer there,
Tulsi did, she said,
our evidence is irrefutable.
Well, part of that is true.
It's irrefutable because no one has
refuted it.
There's no actual disagreement.
She says, well, the Russians didn't
hack into our system.
Good news, Obama didn't say that.
The Democrats didn't say that. the Democrats didn't say that,
no one said that.
You just made that up.
You made it up.
Ha ha ha ha.
The evidence says the Russians
didn't hack.
Who said it?
Who said the Russians hacked into
the actual vote?
Show me one quote of Obama saying
that.
Go ahead, show me one single quote
of Obama saying that.
You can't because you're
a giant liar. And of course,'t because you're a giant liar.
And of course,
since Meghan McCain is a giant liar,
she's like, my lying buddy.
And by the way, you guys want to
know why they kissed and made up?
It has nothing to do with any of
this.
Because before,
Tulsi was met with Bashar al-Assad
and was on the side of the Syrians
and the Russians,
who were opposed to Israel. Now she's on the side of the Syrians and the Russians who were opposed to Israel.
Now she's on the side of Israel.
So, Tosi's such a good friend,
come here, yes.
Israel first is united again.
Okay, good, enjoy her.
Israel first, enjoy her.
That's who Meghan McCain is.
So look, all the Israel first
guys, what do I mean by Israel
first?
The people who think the only
issue that matters is Israel.
Like protecting Israel a billion
times more important than
protecting Americans,
American citizens,
any other issue.
Should we have paid family leave?
Should we have higher wages,
lower drug?
No, Israel, anybody criticizes
Israel, they should be fired and canceled. That's why I'm against cancel culture. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, anybody criticizes Israel, they should be fired and
canceled.
That's why I'm against
cancel culture.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
giant, giant, giant hypocrites.
But we should stop talking about
Meghan McCain because she's
totally useless.
She's a former senator's daughter.
Who cares?
She used to be on the view,
who cares? We don't care on The View, who cares?
We don't care about the people on
The View now.
Why would we care about ex
host of The View?
Gee, I wonder what Elizabeth
Hasselbeck thinks, who cares?
We should all stop paying attention
to Meghan McCain.
She's an irrelevant loser.
Yeah, well, as somebody who had
a crush on Elizabeth Hasselbeck
when she was on Survivor when I was a teenager, I still care what she has to say. But yeah, I think it's ridiculous
where Meghan McCain is now relative to where she was when her dad was alive and when she
was an anti-Trump-er.
The 180 has been ridiculous. Does she think about what she's saying and doing? How she, as somebody who has
benefited solely from being his
daughter, rode the coattails of
nepotism into all of these
positions, now all of a sudden
it's, yeah, you should revoke
a reporter's press credentials.
Yeah, Obama should go to jail.
Yeah, there's no way there's nothing.
Nobody in the administration would
ever do something publicly that is
a blatant lie to curry favor with
Donald Trump.
Listen to yourself.
Who are you?
Not that I ever held much respect
for her.
But even before that,
before Trump, she was writing all
of these books with like,
bipartisan centrist
messaging about how we need to come together. You're on the fringes now. You've totally
abandoned not just your family and everything your dad fought for, but who you claimed to
be just 10 years ago. She's a laughing stock. Yeah, I agree so much that I'm not going to say anything more about that irrelevant loser.
Okay, let's get into-
Let's take the break.
Let's take the break when we come
back light into Columbia and
then their best friend Israel. the way. And I think that's the way people are going to be. And I think that's the way people are going to be.
And I think that's the way people

All right, join, join, Jordan.
Take a look at this.
Worried with this of a precedent
that this sets, that this sets that this proves
that the Trump administration
strategy of weaponizing research
funding works and that this will
lead them to do this more often,
not less.
I can tell you first of all,
I am confident in the agreement we
struck.
We worked again on every word. So I am confident in the agreement we struck. We worked again on every word.
So I am confident it does not cross
our lines that were essential to us.
Of course, I'm aware of the
atmosphere in which we are and
we're talking to the federal
government and
what other institutions are facing.
Another shakedown in the books,
this time with Columbia University
and we've got the details.
Columbia University has agreed to
pay 200 million over the next three
years to resolve claims it
discriminated against Jewish
students.
An agreement the university said
will restore hundreds of millions
of dollars in federal grants. The Trump administration had terminated or paused earlier this year. As part of the
agreement, the university won't be required to admit any wrongdoing. But in a statement,
it did add, the institution's leaders have recognized repeatedly that Jewish students
and faculty have experienced painful,
unacceptable incidents and
that reform was and is needed.
Now Cenk, there is a lot more to
this, but what are your initial
thoughts here?
Yeah, so in a minute,
I'm going to break down all
the money that was paid and
apparently I'm owed money.
So if you were discriminated at
Columbia, apparently you got to get
paid. Where's my goddamn money? As a Muslim, discriminated at Columbia, apparently you gotta get paid.
Where's my goddamn money?
As a Muslim, I was insulted
2,000 times there.
Sorry, I thought I was human.
No, I realize that's only for
one group of people now.
The rest of us are dirt and
we could be insulted all day long
and nobody's going to get any money
for it.
But I want people to understand
something that's important to
this story before we give you
all the details.
Columbia is not being made to do
this.
The people on Colombia's board,
a lot of the important wealthy
donors to Colombia, and
the Colombia administration are all
racist against Palestinians, and
they're bigots against Muslims.
And they're very happy to do this.
They're not like,
Donald Trump twisted my arm. No, he didn't. No, they love that they have an happy to do this. They're not like, Donald Trump twisted my arm.
No, he didn't.
No, they love that they have
an excuse to be bigots against
Muslims.
That's what Colombia has been
trying to do the whole time.
Yeah, there is a giant racial and
bigotry problem in Colombia.
It's against Muslims by the deeply
racist Colombia administration.
And every member of the Colombia
board that didn't resign over this
should hang their head in shame for
their deep racism and bigotry.
So I'll explain why in a minute.
Well, on top of the 200 million in
grant repayment, the school will
also pay a $21 million settlement
as part of a US Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
investigation. Columbia has agreed
to submit to a federal monitor that will assure compliance with admissions and hiring practices
and provide certain information about students to immigration authorities.
So what will that look like in practice? Columbia must also review its admissions policy for international students and ensure
those applicants are asked why they
want to study in the United States.
Earlier this year, US Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement agents
detained some international
students who had been outspoken
pro-Palestinian advocates at
Columbia.
And administration officials have said that,
quote, pro-Hamas, quote, radical students should be deported.
On Fox Business, Secretary of Education, Lynn McMahon, took a victory lap. victory for conservatives who've wanted to do things on these elite camp it is for a long time because
we had such far left leaning
professors and with 27% of
the students that are coming in,
are from outside of the United
States.
I think that's one of Harvard
stats and so
Columbia is clearly on board.
I'm really pleased with this
victory.
If wouldn't have happened if Donald Trump were not president, then I'm really pleased with this victory. It wouldn't have happened if
Donald Trump were not president.
And I'm really pleased to execute
his vision for this that our
campuses are now what they should
be.
They're places for debate,
they're places for education.
They're not places for
left leaning riots and anti-Semitism.
And I'm really pleased with
this result.
Now under this agreement,
the Trump administration was,
sorry, until this agreement,
the Trump administration was dangling
400 million in federal funds for
research over Columbia's head.
That funding will now be reinstated.
One of the faculty union leaders on
campus expressed his frustration
over the agreement in a statement
to the Washington Post.
Michael Thaddeus,
a professor of mathematics,
an acting president of the Columbia
chapter of the American Association
of University Professors, said in
an email Wednesday that students
and scholars at American universities
must be free to think and
speak their minds.
And that the settlement risks
imperiling that freedom.
Columbia's insistence that it will
not allow the government to
interfere in appointments,
admissions or curriculum is welcome.
Yet the creation of a monitor
charged with scrutinizing our
admissions data and our Middle
Eastern Studies Department opens
the door to just such interference.
Cenk.
Yeah, so I went to Columbia Law and
when I went there, there were
people from across the world there.
And I guess now they're not going
to take people from the Middle
East as much.
And so, but they're battling going to take people from the Middle East as much.
And so, but
they're battling bigotry?
But wait, you just said you're
going to discriminate against
foreign students, period.
Do you think they're going to
discriminate against Israeli
students?
Laugh along with me,
laugh along with me, okay?
So of course they're not going to
do that, they're going to target
Muslim students and Arab students.
So while fighting bigotry and
racism, right?
Liars, giant, giant liars.
You know that Columbia alumni were
the ones that were first like,
how dare they protest Israel?
Kick them off campus,
don't let them graduate.
Okay, they're disgusting, because
it's all about protecting Israel.
So what happened?
What happened to free speech?
No, not on a college campus.
How dare you do free speech on
a college campus?
Bow your head to Israel, okay?
Well, you guys just canceled
$400 million.
That looks like cancel culture,
you canceled the money.
Bow to Israel, okay?
So what is this dumb asses?
Again, not dumb, sorry,
take it back, perfectly smart.
They're like, we have to give $200
million to the Trump administration.
Golly gee, no, and we have to ban
anyone from criticizing Israel, and
we have to redo our Middle Eastern
department so that it doesn't teach history,
it teaches Israeli propaganda.
Shucks, don't make us do it,
said the bigots on Columbia's
board, Columbia administration,
who deeply hate Muslims and
have nothing but disdain for us,
okay?
So part of this settlement is
randomly Jewish students are going
to get $20 million.
What, $20 million?
So what, because somebody said
something anti-Semitic.
First of all, I don't even believe
it, but okay, if you have instances
where you can show it on tape or
whatever, what is it?
Are people going to come and go,
yeah, I was kind of offended, dude.
Yeah, I love Israel, man. So what, we're starving to kids to death, give me money. And Columbia is like, come and go, yeah, I was kind of offended, dude. Yeah, I love Israel, man.
So what, we're starving the kids
to death, give me money.
And Columbia is like, here you go,
sir, you're pro genocide, check,
pro genocide, check,
ethnic cleansing.
You like starving babies, check,
okay?
Well, where's my check?
I went to Columbia,
I was against the occupation from
day one.
I said, why should the Palestinians
be the only people considered so
violent and outrageously terrorists that they
can't ever be a sovereign nation.
They can't be, everyone else can
have an independent nation, but
the Palestinians can't.
And they say shut up,
you're not allowed to have
that opinion.
You're a Muslim, terrorist,
savage, etc.
Where's my goddamn money?
Where's all the kids, Muslim,
Christian, and Jewish,
who fought for peace,
who fought for peace,
who fought against genocide.
You don't get any money.
But if you love genocide,
Colombia is going to go
write you a check.
They're going to write you
a check for that.
I'm so disgusted, I wish I never
went to that place.
I should have picked some other
law school, but I didn't know.
I didn't know that the school was
secretly the entire agenda was to
help the Israeli government.
What a sick disgusting place.
So in Colombia's official position
now is pro genocide, disgusting.
Okay, if you say no, no, no, no,
Cenk, Cenk, I saw them take over
a building, like in the Vietnam
war protest, they never did that,
right?
But that was just about
complaining about America. You can complain about America all day long in Colombia, anywhere else, you're did that, right? But that was just about complaining about America.
You can complain about America all
day long in Colombia,
anywhere else.
You're not going to get a paycheck
for that.
You complain about Israel.
You're going to get fired,
deported, and the guy who said that
you said something bad about
Israel is going to get a big,
fat check.
They're incentivizing people to be
bigots against Muslims.
Go find a dirty Muslim who says
something that you don't like, and
we'll give you money for it.
Disgusting, disgusting.
That will be a stain on everyone on
Colombia's board for
the rest of their lives.
If you have on your resume that you
are a member of the Columbia Board
of Trustees now,
that's a scarlet letter.
Those are the people who hated
Muslims and loved the genocide.
And they bowed to Trump and said,
yes, Donald Trump,
here's $200 million, okay?
To change our Middle Eastern
Department, only Israeli propaganda,
only Israeli propaganda.
No truth allowed at Columbia.
What a waste, can I just get my money back for
the tuition?
I didn't know I was going to an
Israeli propaganda school.
I thought I was going to a college
in America,
an esteemed college in America.
No, so guys think about how stupid
this is.
So they're going to pay the,
we got to get the 400 million back
in medical research.
So we're going to give the Trump administration $200 million.
Guys, after Trump is gone, they're gonna get the money anyway, and Harvard's probably gonna
win the lawsuit.
Columbia knows Harvard's gonna win the lawsuit.
My dad was right.
He's like, you work little harder, you go to Harvard. I should have, my dad was right. He's like, you work little harder,
you go to Harvard.
I should have gone to Harvard.
I shouldn't have settled for
Columbia, but
I didn't know they were bigots.
So yeah, they've shamed us all.
And so this is not an American
university.
This is not a place where you go for
higher education and you get
unbiased history, foreign policy,
politics, philosophy,
you learn about things.
This is just a protection racket
for a foreign government, and
I'm beyond disgusted by it.
Cenk, I want to point out,
while they wrap this in equal
opportunity language and fighting
discrimination as you rightfully point out, this only goes one way. These protections
would end this government intervention would never be afforded to Muslim students and we
have proof.
Chris Hedges has a new book out and he details some of the treatment that Muslim students at Columbia
have some of the treatment and
discrimination they have encountered
and lived with at Columbia over
the past couple years.
For instance, on April 25th of this
year, during Columbia's senior boat
cruise, Muslim students who were
identified as participating or
participants in the campus encampment were harassed,
yelled at and had drinks poured on
them.
No intervention by the Trump
administration or
Columbia University.
Where's their $20 million?
Where's their $20 million?
They were literally assaulted.
But they're Muslim, so
it doesn't matter.
You could assault them.
Just go ahead and assault them.
As long as they're criticizing
Israel, beat the living crap out of
them like they did at UCLA. I know you have more, I have one too. I want to see if you have the one I have, go ahead and assault them. As long as they're criticizing Israel, beat the living crap out of them like they did at UCLA.
I know you have more, I have one
too, I want to see if you have
the one I have, go ahead.
January 2024, former Israeli
soldiers studying at Columbia used
skunk spray to assault students on
the steps of Low Library.
The university initially said that
they banned those students who use
the skunk spray and they were later
allowed back onto campus.
Students who are participating in
the encampments who were Jewish,
not even Muslim this time,
they were Jewish and they wanted to
use the kosher kitchens were harassed
by other students in there.
Just so we're simply participating
in these protests.
So yes, of course, you can treat
Muslim students however you want if
you're on Columbia's campus.
Also, if you don't align with
Columbia's apparent pro-genocide
stance, you also can be harassed
and discriminated against.
It's absolutely disgusting.
I'm sure there are many more,
maybe you have some.
Yeah, there was a guy that ran over
peace protesters, including a little old lady, maybe you have some. Yeah, there was a guy that ran over peace protesters,
including a little old lady right
outside of Columbia.
Now he was arrested, thank God.
I mean, I guess that's still
illegal, but I mean, again,
they did massive assault on UCLA's
campus, the Israeli supporters did.
And the police stood by,
they were literally on the scene for
three hours and they let them beat the crap out of the peace protesters. And the police stood by, they were literally on the scene for three hours and they let them beat
the crap out of the peace
protesters.
And there's no congressional
investigations,
nobody's getting money,
there's no crackdown.
Okay, in Colombia, so at least that
guy got arrested for
trying to murder people.
Did you guys ever hear that?
You didn't hear it, right?
Because no, that's he's pro-Israel.
So it's okay.
If you're pro-Israel,
you try to murder people,
there's no congressional
investigations.
There's no Muslims getting paid.
In that case,
it's not even Muslims.
Again, there's always,
in the peace protest, guys,
there's Muslims, Christians, Jews,
atheists, everyone, okay?
And I love them.
I love every one of them.
Everyone who makes it about
religion, and who's making it about
religion, Trump and Colombia.
No, the Muslims shouldn't be
protected,
Christians shouldn't be protected.
Only supporters of Israel should be
protected.
How about the guys who got run over
by a car, how about them?
No, no protection, no protection.
Only pro-Israel people are
protected at Columbia.
So, okay, you work for
a foreign government.
You're not in higher education,
all of them humiliated for
the rest of their lives.
Sick people, you're going to be
known forever.
If you're part of that
administration now, or
you're on the board, you're going
to be known forever as genocide
supporters.
You're going to go in a museum,
they're going to have your name.
These were the people who paid
money to folks who were in favor of
genocide because they felt offended
by the people who said that Israel
was doing a genocide.
Can you imagine?
I mean, you could take any genocide
or Holocaust you like, okay?
The Armenian genocide,
the Holocaust against Jews by
the Nazis.
Imagine they're like,
the German students at Columbia
were offended that people were
calling out the concentration camps,
etc. in Germany.
Well, the Germans were offended.
Pay $200 million to the government
for offending the Germans.
Pay 20 million to the German
students who are offended about
what you said about the Nazis or
any other one.
You criticize Pope Paul, okay,
they give me money,
give them money.
You criticize the Ottoman Empire
for slaughtering Armenians,
you owe the Turks money.
You don't owe the Armenians money,
you owe the Turks money,
because we were offended.
I mean, if the Turks made that case
we'd be laughed out of the building
and we should be.
Money because we're offended,
because we committed a genocide.
How does that make any sense?
But if you applied for
the Israelis, they're like,
of course, of course, how dare you?
How dare you offend the most
important people of all,
the great and almighty Israeli
citizens.
If you offend them,
you owe everybody money,
even if they commit to slaughter.
I'm sick of it, sick of it.
I can't wait for
us for actual Independence Day.
We are occupied by Israel.
Colombia is occupied,
Washington is occupied.
We just had a vote, 422 to 6,
in Congress to give Israel another $500
million in the middle of a genocide.
Imagine if the Ottoman Empire was
like, hey, I'm busy murdering
Armenians, send me $500 million,
I haven't murdered enough of them.
And America was like, yes, sir,
of course, sir.
The most important thing is
Turks, sir.
Well, how can we assist you in your
slaughter of the Armenians, sir?
And that's what we're doing now. But if you say it, I'm offended, sir. Well, how can we assist you in your slaughter of the Armenians, sir?
And that's what we're doing now.
But if you say it, I'm offended.
I'm offended.
I don't give a goddamn that you're
offended.
I'm offended by the 20,000 babies
and children that Israel slaughtered.
And that's not anti-Semitism.
It is a literal fact.
They drop bombs,
the children were lit on fire.
And right now,
111 people have already died
of starvation, 10 of them in
the last 24 hours.
A six week old baby just died
because Israel will not send any
food inside Gaza.
Their disgusting government is
filled with terrorists and
Colombians kissing their ass.
You're all going in a museum of
the people who are the most deeply
hateful people in American history.
The people who loved, supported,
cheered and applauded at genocide.
That's Columbia's board.
That's Columbia's administration.
I hope that's clear enough.
All right, I know we're short on
time, but let's do the mom, Donnie, sir, because I want to light into someone there as well. And that's where you're going. All right, I know we're short on time, but let's do
the Mamdani story because I want to light into someone there as well. And that's where you're
going to be right, Jordan. Go ahead. Okay. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has been
the latest establishment Democrat to criticize Zoran Mamdani for refusing to condemn the phrase
globalize the intifada.
We'll tell you what Shapiro said in a moment, but Cenk, I don't know if
your temper has settled down a
little bit.
What are your initial reactions to
some of Shapiro's comments?
My initial reaction is you
were right, Jordan.
Jordan and I had a debate.
I backed Josh Shapiro for
VP before Kamala Harris made
her selection.
Jordan backed Tim Walz.
And look, as I told Jordan at
the time, I didn't think there was
any chance she was going to pick
Tim Walz, but she did and
I gave her credit for that.
But I shouldn't have backed Josh
Shapiro, so Josh Shapiro turns out
is Israel first.
So, Mamdani never said
globalize the Antifada. Now he's telling people they shouldn't said globalize the Intifada.
Now he's telling people they
shouldn't say globalize the
Intifada, but it's never enough.
It's never enough because it's not
about that.
Josh Shapiro doesn't care about
that. He doesn't care about Jewish
Americans.
He cares about protecting Israel.
So let's listen to what the liar
Josh Shapiro has to say about
Mamdani.
In an interview with Jewish
insider Shapiro stated the
following, Mamdani seemed to run a campaign that excited New Yorkers. It's true, then he goes on. He also seemed to run
a campaign where he left open far too much space for extremists to either use his words
or for him to not condemn the words of extremists that said some blatantly anti-Semitic things.
You have to speak and act with moral
clarity and when supporters of yours say things that are blatantly anti-Semitic, you can't
leave room for that to just sit there.
You've got to condemn that. Here are the other establishment Democrats who have criticized criticized Mom Donnie's comments. Take a look. I don't really agree with virtually
any of it politically.
So that's just where I'm at as
a Democrat.
When you have socialists,
when you have socialists in
the Democratic Party, I don't know
how anybody could argue that that
would be beneficial for
the party or for the country.
Globalizing the Antifata by way of
example is not an acceptable
phrase and he's going to have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward.
When you'll notice throughout all of this smearing of Mamdani, nobody can point to anything
he specifically himself has said. It's always something someone else has said that Mamdani is supposed to answer for and
respond to as a candidate for
mayor of New York City.
Cenk, for the sake of time here,
I want to bring you in.
What do you think of Shapiro's
comments and these ongoing attacks
against Mamdani?
All these guys, with the exception
of D Phillips who criticize them on
the economy, are giant liars.
They keep saying it like he said,
globalizing the end of fight,
he never said that.
What a weird thing to ask somebody,
isn't that a super weird thing?
Will you condemn words you've
never said?
Why am I getting asked this?
What is this?
What the hell is this?
And they say, okay,
end of fight could mean two
different things.
I don't use that word because it
can be misinterpreted.
But does it also mean an uprising
that is political?
Yes, it does also mean that.
No, that one doesn't count.
Well, why doesn't it count?
No, because I want to call you
an anti-Semite.
But why do you want to call me
an anti-Semite?
because you're criticizing Israel.
Yeah, that's why, that's why.
He didn't even say it, you liars.
He didn't even say it, okay? So. He didn't even say it, okay?
So okay, now let's make up
something about Josh Shapiro and
pretend he said it and go,
will you condemn it?
Will you condemn it?
Well, he's going to say,
what the hell,
I didn't even say that, right?
So okay, Josh Shapiro said we
should murder Palestinian babies.
Well, he goes, wait a minute,
Josh Shapiro didn't say that.
Well, mum,
dad, he didn't say globalize
the defada.
So what are you up his ass for?
Because you don't like that he
criticized Israel.
Why don't you be honest, Josh?
Governor Shapiro, why don't you be
honest about how you want to
protect your beloved Israel?
Now I believe in Josh Shapiro,
that's why I'm angry at myself.
I thought they'd done a couple of
positive things and maybe he could
hold Israel accountable because
he cared about the situation and
cared about Israel and right now
Israel's on a disastrous path.
But no, no, no, no.
Okay, now let's talk about what
Josh Shapiro actually did say,
because we won't do the same dirty
tricks that he's doing against
Mom Donnie.
Okay, so you say that Mom Donnie
does not have enough moral clarity.
Well, Governor Shapiro,
do you have moral clarity?
Have you condemned the genocide and
the ethnic cleansing of
the Palestinians?
Have you condemned Israel for
killing over 20,000
Palestinian children?
Have you strongly condemned Israel
for starving Palestinian children
to death as we speak?
Because those are your actual positions, they're
not made up positions. So tell us how you feel about that. Give us moral clarity, Governor
Shapiro. You have no moral clarity on that because you have no morality on that. You're
in favor of a disgusting genocide.
But you couch that in terms of, I'm upset at Mom Dani for offending
me, guess what Governor Shapiro,
I'm offended.
I'm offended that you don't care
about 20,000 dead Palestinian
children.
No, Cenk, your offense doesn't
matter.
You're a Muslim,
no one cares about you.
Who cares if you're offended?
Who cares if we slaughtered
your children?
Who cares?
You're just stupid Muslims, and
you're not at all important.
Well, they're killing Christians
too, and who cares?
None of them are important,
only Israel is important.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead,
go ahead, call me anti-Semite.
Yeah, go ahead.
I back you for VP, but
it doesn't matter. It, go ahead. I back you for VP.
But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because if you
slightly criticize Israel,
anti-Semite, right?
Well, okay, Josh Shapiro,
you're a bigot against Muslims.
You don't care about dead
Palestinian children.
You only care about, I'm offended,
my feelings. How about the feelings of
the dead kids, Josh Shapiro?
Are you offended by that?
Are you offended that Israel has
taken our money and slaughtered 59,000
people at a minimum now?
No, no, maybe 11,000 of them are
Hamas, okay, made up numbers, but
okay, out of gratitude.
So you're okay with them slaughtering
48,000 civilians?
Hamas, they're the dirtiest
terrorists.
They killed 1,200 people.
I agree with you, Josh Shapiro.
Terrible, terrorists,
1,200 people, terrible.
A little over 800 of them are
civilians, 36 of them were children,
terrible.
48,000 dead civilians,
20,000 dead civilians,
20,000 dead children.
And Josh Shapiro says, don't care,
not at all offended by what
Israel's doing.
Not at all offended by what Israel
is doing to Muslim kids,
to Christians, to Palestinians.
But Mamdani didn't condemn a phrase
he didn't say.
So Josh Shapiro find himself
deeply offended.
Look, we already knew that
Fetterman was a giant sellout.
We, Richie Torres, all those guys,
they work for Israel.
We got it, we got it.
But I thought Josh Shapiro actually
was a real person, a real American
who cared about this country.
But the minute the chips are,
we got a dirty,
that Muslim Democrat,
how dare he oppose Israel?
Brother, man, you're making it
super obvious.
If you'd like to be governor of
Tel Aviv, move to goddamn Tel Aviv.
They should vote against
Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania.
No, Cenk, don't say that.
He's a beloved Democrat.
What have Democrats done for us?
What have Democrats done to stop
this genocide?
The minute there's a Democrat who
condemns the genocide, all of a
sudden all the Democrats unite to
smear him.
They're not just opposing his
policies, they're doing
character assassination.
They're putting words in his mouth,
fake words he didn't say,
then condemning him for it. Because beloved Israel, assassination. They're putting words in his mouth, fake words he didn't say, then
condemning him for it, because
beloved Israel,
how dare he oppose ethnic cleansing?
I mean, they're just Muslims.
Come on, who complains about,
your people were ethnically
cleansed, who cares?
Your people aren't important.
My people are important,
Josh Shapiro says.
F you, Josh Shapiro, okay?
Are you offended by that?
Good, good, I'm glad you're
offended.
Why don't you try caring about
children despite what their
religion or
nationality or ethnicity is?
Just try that for a minute.
I know I'm asking for
a big, big ass there.
Big ass to care about Muslims,
when we should all be focused only on kissing Israel's
ass, screw Josh Shapiro.
Yeah, I just for the sake of time,
want people to think about how
warped of a world we live in,
where the candidate for
New York's mayor,
who is running on issues.
His entire campaign was centered on
issues that help the working class.
And the political and media elite
are all trying to force a narrative
on him apologizing or
denouncing things he has never said.
Think about that.
Why don't they want this person,
aside from deference and support and
love of Israel, why do they not
want this person to succeed if it
helps the wider population of New
York?
So there's a two pronged issue
here and of course, it's their
deference and love and support to
Israel, but also they don't care
about you.
They would rather manufacture and focus on a false controversy than spotlight someone's
policies that would make New York residents living conditions better, plain and simple.
And I need everyone to think about that because it happens in election after election after election.
In Bernie in 2020, they weren't talking about his policies in many cases during campaign roundups,
they would completely omit him. What was the narrative? His supporters are toxic and he has
to denounce them because they don't wanna talk about how popular these policies are.
No, ignore him. All these people who are excited that their life and
their material conditions might
change, they're toxic.
Ignore them.
Focus on this guy.
Focus on this establishment
Democrat who's going to cut taxes
for corporations, us.
Make help us in the media elite,
make more money, help us,
the wealthy donors, make more money.
They do this over and over and
over again, and it's on all of us
to identify it every time it happens
and call it out.
Last two things, if you're not
denouncing the genocide in Israel,
you have no more like to stand on,
and I don't want to hear
a word from you, okay?
We all denounce Hamas.
Israel has killed 50 times
the civilians that Hamas has.
If you're not denouncing what
Israel's doing now, you get the
tallest glass of shut up juice
there is for the rest of your life.
You have no morality.
You only have tribalism.
Okay, and the last thing is, Josh,
we all know you're trying to sound
like Obama, and you look
ridiculous when you do it, okay?
So stew on that.
All right, we gotta go. Jordan, thank you do it, okay? So stew on that. All right, we got to go.
Jordan, thank you, brother, and
thank you for being right about
Tim Walls.
And look guys, and look guys,
we lead by example.
There's nothing wrong with saying
you were wrong, so what?
What happens then?
Does your ego get hurt a little
bit, right?
So Jordan, great job in that
discussion, okay?
All right, when we come back, we haven't even
hit the starvation stories yet.
Wait till you see me on that,
we'll be right back. Bye!
