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. Live from the Polymer market studio in LA, Jane Cougar Anna Conspirant, it's the Young Turks. Is it? Yeah, and well, I'm pretty sure it is. So I'm going old school here with a t-shirt under the blazer, daring to

to, you know, possibly enraged the salt dragon here with my outfit. No, it's totally fine, I mean, if we're just not going to care about being presentable on the show. But in the real world, when you're wearing this t-shirt, you're gonna look badass. Okay, that's the TYT flag surviving every storm. So, and by the way, this is, this one you can't get at shop ty.com. You can get caught trying, Operation Hope, all those team hope, all those wonderful shirts. shirt, but this one's for people who gave over $250 to our drive this year, t-y-t.com slash team.

The shirt, we're not Kanye, the shirt's not worth $250, okay? This is just the appreciation for folks who are helping out a lot. And we do appreciate you, and I've already seen people in this shirt in the street. And when I do, I'm like, ah, you're my boss, I love it. Okay, so anyways, got a big show ahead for you guys, of course. So instantly, Republicans falling apart at the seams. So I mean, my God, what a difference a week makes, what an unbelievable difference. So let's get to it, Anna.

Well, we begin with this doozy. I was supposed to be nice. They say something happened to me when I got shot, I became nice. And when you're dealing with these people, they're very dangerous people. When you're dealing with them, you can't be too nice. He really can't be. So if you don't mind, I'm not going to be nice. Is that okay?

There you have it, folks. After a Republican National Convention where Donald Trump at least attempted to give this air of a changed man, an individual who's been traumatized by an assassination attempt, who's trying to unify the country. No, now all gloves are off. He's freaking out of her Kamala Harris and how much enthusiasm there is around her after, of course, Biden dropped out of the presidential race. And so not nice anymore, not nice.

Yeah. Anna, did anyone predict this happening? Yeah, this is the real reason why Jake wanted to do this story. So let's like not waste our time and immediately go to Jenks' prediction. Go ahead, let's watch. They're constantly pushing this changed man, changed man after the, shooting, he magically completely changed. Could that be, could you have that moment be traumatic enough to create significant change? It's possible. But in a 77 year old, less likely. And

Donald Trump, very, very unlikely, right? So that's the image that you're trying to put out. It's smart. But at the end of the day, Donald Trump's going to be Donald Trump. You cannot contain him for four months. Even if he's able to contain himself in a pre-written speech here by his staff, et cetera, the minute we're done with this convention, tick, tick, tick, tick tick until he's back on true social going you know these democrats and they're they're destroying our country and I hate them and somebody should do something about it and look at what they did to me and look at what they're yeah so my that's my guess let's see let's see look guys there are predictable patterns here so this one's a pretty much a no-brainer

so it's they don't I don't get a lot of credit for this one so but his His team, his campaign team, thought, no, we're gonna contain him for four months. That's why every speech of the convention, and I'll tell you my favorite in a second, it was like, oh, behind the scenes. You never believe how kind Donald Trump is, yeah, you're right, I wouldn't believe it. And this is like the Biden team going, behind the scenes, you should see how young he is. No, they're exactly who we think they are. But they wanted to say after the shooting, he's a changed man.

And as you'll see in a longer version of that clip, he's like, he can't stop saying things that are at the top of his mind. He's like, they wanted me to say it, I wouldn't. Of course you can't contain trouble, of course he's gonna say the meanest, craziest things ever, that's who he is. Yeah, you know, I prefer my politicians to have a smile on their face as they're aiding and abetting a genocide in Gaza. Like they're much better, they're much better.

But no, I get what you're saying, like he's just outwardly out of control, right? Whereas most traditional politicians, they have this, you know, they have the pleasant demeanor, the professionalism, the statesmen, stateswoman like behavior. And then behind the scenes, they're collecting cash, they're making paper, right? They're taking the lobbyist money, much like Trump. Trump does that as well. But Anna, that's the thing with Trump, right? Yeah.

So whatever ills that the Democratic Party has, Trump has it twice as much. So the two that Anna just mentioned, so on Israel, they're now attacking Kamala Harris and in the Democratic Party for not kissing that in Yahoo's ass enough, right? We have that later in the show. And Trump took $200 million from Sheldon Aedelson. He's trying to take $100 million from Miriam Aydelson and give Israel the West Bank, et cetera, so way worse. Like you can't imagine almost anything worse than aiding and abetting and genocide until you get to Trump saying, not enough, not enough. Finish them, right?

And take whatever land you want, who cares about? And then he called Biden as an insult at Palestinian, okay? And then on corruption, he's like, hey, oil executives, you know, handies in the corner. If you give me money, right? Come on, man, he's asking for a billion dollars from the oil executives. And he says, I'll give you anything you want, tax cuts. And who's going to pay for? The average American is going to pay for it.

So he's twice as bad on every issue that the Democrats are awful on. And then on top of that, he adds in he's a lunatic. So, no, he adds in showing us exactly who he is by not pretending to be. a kind statesman like individual, right? Well, because he can't help it. And I'm not, let me be clear, I'm not giving him kudos for that. I'm just saying that Donald Trump creates a lot of spectacle and that drives a lot of negative media attention to him, which drives me crazy because there's like this pretending that

he is like particularly horrible. When you have all sorts of politicians, not just Democrats, Democrats and Republicans, who engage in all sorts of terrible policies, who take bribes from. from all sorts of nefarious figures and carry out policies that go against the best, you know, the best possible outcome for the American people, but actually ends up being the best outcome for the nefarious figures that are bribing them. Like that's the thing that drives me crazy about the way the media covers in general, obviously I'm not giving you specific examples, but you can tell, like Trump immediately attracts the negative media attention,

Whereas other politicians who might literally engage in the same policies that he champions don't get the same negative media attention because they have that air of professionalism. Yeah, but that also cuts both ways. I totally get what you're saying, which is don't let Trump off the hook, he's guilty on all these fronts, right? But when a politician, Republican, or Democrat does the same exact thing, but says it in a smoother way and in a more refined intellectual way, then mainstream media melts and he's like, oh my God, what a wonderfully fake politician. Oh, there's so, but wait a minute, they both have the same policy, which is give Israel

all the money. Don't ever question them. Do as you're told. So, okay, our point isn't Trump is better. Our point is be careful of all politicians and look at their actual policies and don't get tricked like mainstream media just on their presentation. Yes, that's exactly right. But now the other side of that coin Anna though is also interesting, which is that MAGA gives Trump too much credit for honesty when they mean a different word that sounds very similar but isn't, which is he's authentic, he's authentically Trump, he can't help but be Trump. True. Right?

But he's not honest, there's a difference between the two. So for example, when he says, oh, the election was stolen, he knows the election wasn't stolen, He told some people internally that it wasn't stolen, et cetera, right? That's why they needed the fake collectors, he knows all that, right? So, but he goes, they were so unfair to me, stop this deal, right? And so it's not true, but eventually, by the way, there's even a chance that he gets himself to believe it. So he, there is muos, and remember, he's a conspiracy theorist.

So you could be nuts and you could be lying, but you could come across as authentic. And what would be amazing and we're still looking forward? I think Bernie does do this actually, a politician who's actually authentic and honest. Yeah, he might be the only one. He might be the only one, yeah. But Trump went on during this rally to attack Kamala Harris, so let's just watch a little more of that. So now we have a new victim to defeat Lion Kamala Harris, Lyon, L-Y-I-N-A-N-A-Posth. The most incompetent and far left of vice president in American history.

For three and a half years, Lion Kamala Harris has been the ultra-liberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe. She is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country. If she ever gets the chance to get into office, we're not going to let that happen. Biden catastrophe. Yeah. Lion Kamala sounds like he's saying lion as in rar, lion. That's why he had to spell it.

I know. I know. Okay, look, come on guys, the way that Trump says things is hilarious. You gotta acknowledge that. I don't know that he intends it to be hilarious, but- I doubt it, yeah. Biden. And my new favorite is him pronouncing J.D. Vance's wife's name. Ushah.

Okay, never just Ushah. We're just Ushah, it's always Ushah, okay, like Norway, he's such a weirdo. Anyways, but it's funny, it's funny. So look, I wish Kamala Harris was far left ultra liberal, where, where, how, right? So they're trying to invent this thing, and ironically, some of the left is helping them. Everybody like both Trump and the far left are pretending now that Kamala Harris is some sort a progressive champion, show me a policy. Yeah, it is, it is amazing to see it, to be honest with you, from the far left, right?

I mean, we're talking about the same group of people who couldn't stop like just viciously attacking her during the 2020 primaries because she was a prosecutor. Kamala the cop, Kamala the cop, Kamala the cop, and now it's like, no, no, we are coconut pilled and we love her and she's amazing and she's going to save us from Biden, from Donald Trump. Okay. So good news for you, Anna. All you got to do is become a Democratic politician and all of a sudden the far left will enjoy how much of a cop you are. Yeah, I don't, I'm not interested in anyone enjoying me. I am who I am, okay? Well, that's certainly true. Okay, you get authentic and honest with this one. Yeah. So look, back to the main point, 55% of this country hates Donald

Trump. And whether you like it or not, whether you think that's a great stat or a terrible stat, you could choose not to believe it, it doesn't matter. Every poll, 55%, 55%, saying, I don't want any part of Trump. So all we needed was a new candidate. And I said that, you know, you know, I said it hundreds of times because you just put, I said, pick any random Democrat and you all of a sudden will have the lead from no chance. And the reason is, because 55% of the country hates Donald Trump. So it's not going to take some sort of legendary FDR figure to beat Donald Trump.

The person who's going to be Donald Trump is Donald Trump, you just got to get out of his way. And so Biden couldn't get out of his way, is walking too slow. And now Kamala Harris, not only getting out of his way, but doing a pretty good job of, you know, rabbit punching him every once in a while. And it's driving him a little crazy. And this, by the way, this, I like some of Trump's nicknames. I think they're goofy and hilarious and some are stupid and awful. But this one, not a winner. Yeah, Anna's right.

It sounds like she's a lion as in a champion, you know, king of the jungle, et cetera. And then if you have to spell the nickname, it's not going to work. Are you losing your touch, Trump? No, losing your nickname. And why lying? I mean, she's not particularly known for lying. Like it's more than any other politician. No, total fail.

I bet he changes it. He will. He will. I think he's A-B testing. Yeah, that's right. Except, you know what, I was wrong that, oh, note that for the record, Mr. prediction, I thought he would change from desantimonious because that was like the worst nickname ever. That was really bad.

But he stuck with it the whole way. I thought he was going to go Ronnie Meatballs, but Ronnie Meatballs was fantastic. Yeah, well. All right, well, let's move on to some other news of the day. There was a big hearing before House members, and it had to do with the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. Let's get into it. Did the best of your understanding, how close did the assassin's bullet come to killing

President Trump? My understanding is that either it or some shrapnel is what, you know, grazed his ears. So I don't know that I have the actual distance. What's that? Very, very close, you would agree. Yes. FBI director Christopher Ray testified before the House Judiciary Committee and shared some new details that they have discovered through the FBI's investigation of the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. Now, he also questioned, as you heard, whether Trump was actually hit with a bullet in the ear or if there was something else at play, and we're gonna revisit that portion

of the hearing in just a moment. Before we do though, I think it's important to note that investigators still do not have a clear motive for the shooting. Investigators did find that crooks seemed to become very focused on Trump and the rally on July 6th. An examination of his laptop revealed that he searched how far away was Oswald from Kennedy on that day when And he also registered to attend the rally. So here's Christopher Ray talking about those findings through their investigation during this hearing. Let's watch. Analysis of a laptop that the investigation ties to the shooter reveals that on July 6th, he did a Google search for, quote, how far away was Oswald from Kennedy?

That's a search obviously is significant in terms of his state of mind. And we, that is the same day that it appears that he registered for the Butler rally. We also know from previous reporting, he was searching for Joe Biden's name as well. So it was, it really is unclear whether this is really politically motivated. He had also searched for, I guess, treatments for deprecognito. oppressive disorder. So that gives you a hint that he was potentially suffering from some some mental health issues.

And so this is all to say that we still do not have a clear motive for why Thomas Crooks decided to open fire and attempt to assassinate Donald Trump. Yeah, so I'm gonna say it doesn't matter on two fronts, and I don't often say that. So number one, was it a bullet or shrapnel that hit Trump? Totally doesn't matter. What difference does it make? He got hit because of an assassination attempt. And it was, it grazed them, thank God, right?

And so either way, a bullet or shrapnel grazed you while somebody was trying to shoot your head off. Totally irrelevant which one it was. The only way that it would matter is if he pulled a dusty roads, right? Rolls under the wrestling mat, cuss himself with a razor wire, et cetera. That didn't happen, of course that didn't happen. So it doesn't matter at all, which it was shrapner or a bullet. So, and if you're like obsessed about that stuff, like jewelry, Let it go, let it go.

Okay, now on the mental health issue, of course he had a mental health issue. He tried to shoot the president. That's not complicated. Are there a lot of sane people who go to climb on a rooftop? Know that they're going to be taken out by Secret Services immediately after the shooting. He's wide open on a rooftop, right? He knows he's going to die, I mean, and if you didn't know you're going to die, then you have another different kind of mental issue, et cetera, and you're trying to kill somebody.

Of course he has a mental health issue. Does it really matter if he was, it looks like he was a right winger, he loved guns, et cetera. So I could say, no, it does matter. You know, this is the right wing, et cetera. Or if he hated Trump and was on the left, he's mentally unbalanced. It does, like, so let's take it that he was a right winger, right? So does that mean the right wing is wrong? No, the right wing is wrong for other reasons, not because there's a random.

psycho who wanted to shoot the president. So I just, I don't think his politics matter. I don't think even the motive doesn't matter. I mean, other than these lunatics who are saying, maybe he was funded by Iran. Like now everything is funded by Iran because they're trying to start a war with Iran. So those guys are obvious, terrible liars and almost all work for Israel. Let me get this out of the way. Let me make my own prediction before I forget.

The United States will go to war with Iran because Ben, Benjamin Netanyahu wants us to go to war with Iran on his behalf. Everyone make note of my prediction so I can do what Jenk does and demand that we bring this video back up so I can give myself a pat on the back for noting the obvious. By the way, it's not that obvious. It is very obvious. Okay. We will go to war with Iran because Israel wants us to.

And our politicians are trained seals on behalf of Israel, so we will go to war. We will risk the lives of our men and women in the armed services on behalf of Israel. I guarantee it. Yeah, okay. So look, especially because I'm not at all sold, because they've wanted us to go to war with Iran for a long time and we still haven't yet. Don't get me wrong, it's entirely possible.

But if she gets it right and we do, she deserves even more credit. Thank you, I appreciate that. Let's get back to Christopher Ray's testimony because he also disclosed what their investigation found in terms of devices, including devices that crooks used to surveil the area prior to. area prior to the shooting.

We have recovered a drone that the shooter appears to have used. It's being exploited and analyzed by the FBI lab. The drone was recovered in his vehicle. So at the time of the shooting, the drone was in his vehicle with the controller. In addition, our investigation has uncovered. Do you know what time of day he flew it? And if he flew it on the day and it's not. So I'm sorry.

Go ahead. So in addition, it appears that around 3.50 p.m. 4 o'clock in that window on the day of the shooting, that the shooter was flying the drone around the area. Two hours. About 11 minutes. I want to be clear, but when I say the area, not over the stage and that part of the area itself. I would say about 200 yards, give or take away. Okay.

That we think, but we do not know. So again, this is one of these things that's qualified because of our ongoing review, that he was live streaming, you know, viewing the footage from that again, about 11 minutes in around the 350, 4 o'clock p.m. Ray. Two hours before, he's flying a drone in the vicinity of the route. About 200 yards away. So based on what Ray is saying, the FBI's investigation is found that he did use a drone in order to surveil the area, kind of scope out the area prior to the area. the shooting. So I guess that's more information that's useful. But look, at this point,

considering how long ago this assassination attempt was, I'm actually shocked at how little we know at this point. Like you have multiple federal agencies investigating this. Why don't we know more? This is insane. Yeah, there's only one thing that I care about in this assassination attempt, you know, after the fact. I'm glad Trump's okay. The thing I care about is how long did they know he was on the roof and why didn't they get a cop out there and get Trump off the stage? That's super relevant, right? We need to figure that out so it doesn't happen again. Hey, was it miscommunication with the local police? Was there something else? Let's figure that part out because it's super relevant. And so far, no one has an answer for that, which I'm super

frustrated by, because guys, how long does it take to get an answer? Ask the Secret Service that was there on the scene. Ask the local cops that were on the scene. Boom, you have your answer. What's taking so long? So it's, that bothers me and it should, like that's a real note of concern for security for all of these officials. The rest of it is, you know, now just getting silly. Now the FBI agents also recovered three devices that luckily Crooks didn't have an opportunity to use. So let's hear what Ray had to say about those devices, what they were, and how they found them. The FBI lab is exploiting those explosive devices. There were, we've recovered three devices, two in his vehicle and one back in his residence. Are these,

are these what you would call, your experts, which would call sophisticated operations? Or this, I mean, I think, I don't know, that's what I've been told by people who have some understanding this area? Yeah, I think it's, we've seen more sophisticated than less. I would say these are relatively, again, keyword relatively crude devices themselves, but they did have the ability to be detonated remotely. So luckily he did have an opportunity to detonate them remotely, but the FBI did find those devices, meaning that he potentially planned to do a lot more damage, not just to Donald Trump, but potentially to rally goers as well. So I was going to say, there is one other relevant thing here, which is gun control,

because everybody has a gun, certain percentage of the country is mentally unwell in a way that is actually physical and violent, and so we're going to have these problems. But you know, then I was going to say, next thing you know, the right wing will say, oh, you have a Second Amendment right to make bombs. Because one of the things I'm concerned about, but I'm going to come back to that second, but one of the things I'm concerned about is that the Secret Service might not have acted or local cops might not have acted, because they might be thinking, well, someone with an AR-15 is a perfectly good Second Amendment loving citizen, so we can't stop them.

So if they're outside of the perimeter, you're allowed to bring any kind of weaponry you want, and they're going to be against your rights if we take it away. So I don't know if that's what made them pause. That would be interesting. I'm not saying it did, but I'm curious about it. But I realize, as I was thinking about that, that of course there's no movement to make bombs legal. And you say, like, of course, because they're bombs. No, the guns kill way more people than bombs do.

And the reason for that is because there's not huge bomb manufacturers, at least domestically, right? When there is internationally, then all of a sudden we're selling bombs to Israel, Ukraine, and every other country in the world. And we're going to war over and over to drop those bombs because somebody's making money off of them. But internally, domestically, people make money from selling guns. So that's why they never, that's like a war against the American people. And I know, I know a lot of you think, oh, I love that. And I, and it's my rights and I want to participate in that war or whatever. And but it is all about the money.

So that's why we're shooting each other at record pace and why we start wars abroad at record pace. Yeah, look, I, sure. You can have a conversation about common sense gun legislation, but someone who wants to do a lot of damage is going to find a way to do a lot of damage. I mean, you go back to the 1970s when actually there was a lot of political violence. And a lot of that political violence came in the form of leftists doing bombings. That was a big issue back in the day. And so did that catch on? No, of course not, because it's really hard to make a bomb. No, I hear what you're saying.

But look, to me, the most important part of this story is figuring out what the motive was, what the actual motivation to do this shooting was because if it was because he has a severe mental health issue, well, that is a problem in America. And that is a problem in America that politicians love to pay lip service to, but do nothing about. Democrats will propose legislation. They'll vote on legislation. But the Republican Party, which typically likes to talk about mental health issues when mass shootings happen, consistently vote against allocating more funding to appropriately deal with the very real problem that we are having in this country with mental illness. Okay, so that's a problem. Are we actually going to address it? And that's the other issue,

Jenk. We have a Congress that has no interest in actually finding solutions for the very real problems we have in this country. Whether it be gun control, whether it be the issue of mental illness, whether it be, you know, some of the political violence that we see arise here and there as a result of all the division and polarization in the country, it's incredibly frustrating. I mean, We can't even get anything done about the shortage of housing in this country. And why is that? Because private equity is buying up hold of homes and they're huge donors to both Republicans and Democrats. So when you think you're having an ideological debate in this country, that's just theater. Like you're doing it and you mean it. You, oh, I love

Second Amendment, no, I want gun control. But for the politicians, they're not having that debate at all. There's only one thing that controls everything, money. And so we can go, keep fighting each other and we keep having these debates and we should. But at the end of the day, there's only one thing that moves politicians in America, and that's donor money. And so that's true in guns. That's true in Israel. That's true in banking. That's true in every single part of what we cover. Last comment goes to one of our members, because they made a point, it's really good. I hadn't thought of. Hit the join button below to be part of the show. Camp Corona, dad wrote, and we want answers on what really happened in the assassination attempt

done Trump, aren't we still waiting to find out what really happened in the JFK assassination? That's a good point. That is a good point, yep. So I mean, and it's not like the government doesn't cover up assassination attempts and what really happened in them. Such a good point. So excellent point. I love how smart our members are.

All right, we gotta take a break. When we come back, we have some updates on the protests that took place in response to Benjamin at Yahoo addressing a joint session of conference. Congress.

It's just a perk. We appreciate you. All right, Casper. Let's talk a little bit about the aftermath of the protests from yesterday. If you could just tell me what you thought of the Israeli Prime Minister's speech to Congress just now. I didn't go, I decided not to go. And I just cannot understand and cannot believe in such a critical moment that Netanyahu is here

and not home. If you're ever attempted to conflate the ridiculous wreckers from the pro peace protests surrounding Benjamin Netanyahu's address of a joint session of Congress, just keep in mind that you might be conflating those folks with Aviva Siegel. She was actually held hostage in Gaza, she was held hostage for 51 days, and tragically, her husband Keith is still held captive in Gaza. Yet she, along with other families, family members of hostages have been protesting Benjamin Netanyahu and his speech before a joint session of Congress this week.

Now during his speech, Netanyahu slandered protesters, conflated all of them with violent protesters and said that they are funded by Iran without providing a shred of evidence, and even called them useful idiots. He called American citizens useful idiots on American soil as a foreign leader of a foreign country. Just let that sink in for a second. Now many of the protesters were Jewish and many of them have been victimized by Hamas directly. They are not Hamas supporters at all, but they certainly are not supportive of Benjamin

Netanyahu because they see exactly what he's doing. They see that this isn't about protecting Israelis, it's not about freeing hostages, it's about making this war last as long as humanly possible so he can remain in power. And according to the times of Israel reporter Jacob Majid, some of the relatives of these hostages actually walked out of Netanyahu's address to Congress. The PM or Prime Minister goes on to pledge not to rest until the hostages are home, leading the vast majority in the room to stand and applaud, save for roughly a dozen or so hostage families, which by the way, Netanyahu also attempted to use as pawns during his speech, and they weren't having it. Now, reporters

revealed that other family members were removed from the chamber after they unveiled yellow T-shirts with the words, seal the deal now. So I want to show you one example. Here's one of the women who ended up getting arrested, she's wearing the t-shirt. I mean, it's obviously a peaceful protest, it's just that they were wearing the shirt, and the shirt offended the sensitivities of the members of Congress who are bought and paid for by the pro-Israel lobby, let's just keep it real. So six, six individuals were arrested, Israelis who have been victimized by Hamas.

arrested by Capitol police. Yeah, and so when we say pro-Israel, by the way, we're talking about the government of Israel now, right? So if you're not for the right-wing government who wants to wage perpetual war, and that's part of the reason they're not getting the hostages back, you know, you get arrested. Even if you're Israeli, even if you're Israeli and American, even if you have family members who are hostages, it doesn't matter. You don't agree with Netanyahu and A-PAC. You will be removed from the building. So why is it? Who's making the decision?

So like what if you're pro or Israel, but you're incredibly left wing? What if you're moderate in pro Israel? No, none of you matter. The only thing that matters is the source of the funding of those politicians. And that's APEC. An A PAC in the past, at least pretended to be nonpartisan. Now they're fully pro-neton Yahoo, massively right-wing. And so if you don't agree with like the most extreme,

dream right wingers in Israel, you'll be eliminated. Even if you're a hostage family member, you're gonna get arrested at the speech where they're pretending to care about you. I mean, the image of Netanyahu lying about the peace deal and the entire US Congress giving him a standing ovation, while the hostage families are being arrested off camera at the same speech, that right there is the current state of America. And I want to, I want to honor these brave individuals who were arrested by our Capitol police. The guests arrested were Michael Levy, Karmite, Palti, Katsir, Gil Dickman, Liet Rubin,

Unger, Alangat, Zahiro, Shahar Moore. Those were the individuals who were arrested according to the Capitol Police. And so again, I just really want to emphasize that there is an effort right now to slander, to smear peaceful individuals, like the ones that we're talking about right now, by conflating them with individuals who engage in vandalism, rioting, and honestly behavior that I do not in any way support. I think that those people are wreckers, the individuals who, you know, vandalize the Liberty Bell. Look, I don't know who they are.

And there's all these like theories flying around, oh, they're provocateurs, oh, it's It's Mossad, it's a SIOP. I don't know, I have no evidence of that. What I do know is that these people are wreckers and they're more self-interested in regard to their emotional release because they're destroying an important message that peace-loving individuals are trying to put out there as a part of their protest. And it disgusts me. And what also discussed me is that these wreckers create a situation in which someone like

Benjamin Netanyahu can come on American soil and slander American people, American citizens and some in this country who are Americans themselves think he's justified in doing that. Yeah. That disgusts me beyond words, Jank. Yeah, well, most of the people who think that are bought and paid for by APEC. Okay, go live in Israel then. Yeah. Go live in Israel. If you don't appreciate this country, if Israel's more important to you than America is, go live in Israel. What's the problem? And as I said yesterday, remember, this is why we love America, Sarah Jacobs, Bernie Sanders, Jerry Nadler, and many others Jewish American representatives, along with Muslim American representatives, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib, all boycotted this speech and said

this is not-Rashita-Lib was there. She did not boycott it. She held up a sign that said war criminal. Yeah, I mean, that's just a different form of protest, right? And so, but they were united, whether they're Jewish-Americans or Muslim-Americans, because they're Americans. And they're like, this Netanyahu is not helping Israel. He's not helping America. He's not helping anyone, But APAC, and APAC's funding all these, look, they didn't get into APAC too much other than Rashida's talked about it in the past, right? But bottom line is they all did the right thing because they care about America. So now, look, two huge things out of this.

First, number one, I want to talk about what Anna just talked about. So spray painting Hamas on a statue in the capital or burning the American flag, look, I don't have any evidence in any direction, so I don't want you to take this as, oh, we know something that we're not telling you, okay? So that's why I'm going to frame it this way. If that was not a Mossad Siyahp operation, they had to be sitting at headquarters going, how did we get this lucky?

Seriously. Like, oh my God, this is perfect. So if you're a knucklehead out there and you did this and you thought you were helping Palestinians, you could not have helped Netanyahu and Mossad and the IDF more than this. Because American people are already on your side. The majority, overwhelming majority want to ceasefire, and they want the hostages back. And now a majority of Americans saying, wait, why are we funding Israel?

And that is an enormous turn of events. So Palestinians, I know it doesn't look like it, and I know you're not seeing it at all. But at least we've turned to American people. Turning American politicians is much harder, okay? But so now, right as we're doing that, you're gonna burn all the goodwill and you're gonna squander it by burning the American flag and spray painting Hamas. Yeah, because they're wreckers, they're wreckers, that's all they are. All they like to do is exploit any movement to release their emotional issues onto everyone

else. That's all it is, that's all it is. They riot, they loot, that's what they do, okay? They vandalize property and then they feel real good about themselves. They think they're revolutionaries, when in reality they destroy every movement, every every righteous movement in this country. They're the worst people in the country, okay? I don't care, I'm not holding back.

They are the worst. They drown out the righteous message of the peaceful protesters. They did it yesterday. They'll do it again. That's who they are. They're wreckers. So whoever they are, whichever side they were on, I mean, if they were on the side of Netanyahu and IDF, well played, okay?

If they were on the, they thought they were on the Palestinian side, you've done more damage than you could possibly know, please stop being counterproductive. What you're doing is you're hurting Palestinians and the ability to end this war. Okay, and by the way, and by the way, the reason why they couldn't have helped Netanyahu more is because mainstream media is waiting to blame Palestinians. 100%. And Iran. And so what they did, mainstream media barely talked about the hostage family members getting arrested yesterday. They did almost no fact check of Netanyahu and his outrageous lies, which I'm gonna get to in a second.

And instead, on a loop 24-7, Hamas, burning the flag, Hamas, burning the flag. Anna was on with Alan Dershowitz on News Nation. Two-thirds of the screen was taken up by a constant B-roll of burning the flag, Hamas, burning the flag, Hamas. So don't help the propaganda that mainstream media already wants to do by doing stupid counterproductive stuff. Jake, they don't care. They don't care. They don't care what you have to say. They don't care about strategy. They don't care about the cause. All they care about is themselves.

Okay, I'll give you an example. When some of the student protests were happening, I'm forgetting the name, he's the professor who's Jewish and he's been very vociferous against the occupation of Palestinians. He went to go speak to the student protesters, I'm sorry, his name is slipping my mind at the moment. But he was telling them, look, you gotta be strategic with your messaging. And a lot of people hear from the river to the sea and they take something very nefarious out of that statement. So try to not say that statement, don't chant that because you don't want that to take away

from the important message that you're trying to put out there through this protest. Now clearly, not every protester engaged in this, but immediately after he said that, they start chanting from the river to the sea because they don't care. They don't care, they don't care about the strategy, they don't care about ensuring that their protests doesn't get, you know, slandered all over the press because of a few bad apples. It's just, it's so frustrating, it's so incredibly frustrating. But anyway, done with them, let's actually move on to individuals who deserve a platform who should be heard from, including Jonathan Deccal Chen.

He's the father of a hostage who went on MSNBC to share his views of Netanyahu. Let's watch. First and foremost, why is it that that he is delaying? signing this agreement when the entire Israeli defense establishment, intelligence community, and his own defense minister have already said publicly that all of the conditions are ripe to sign right now and any additional delay simply risks the lives of the hostages and does not enhance Israel's security situation. That's question number one that was not answered on Monday evening. The second question is, as a member of Kibbutz near Oz that was destroyed,

Why is it that nearly 10 months after our kibbutz was destroyed, 50 of our members were murdered, 35 of the 120 hostages are from Neroz, why is it that he has not come to visit the kibbutz or the surviving remnant community of the kibbutz? Just something that I think in any normal country would be unthinkable. And thirdly, he was quoted recently as saying that hostages aren't dying in captivity. He did not answer that question directly during our time together. And I would like to know what sense that makes, given that from our kibbutz alone,

seven, seven hostages have died since October 8th. So I just want to understand from the individuals who are labeling all of the protesters, Hamas sympathizers, do you want to look that man in the eye and call him a Hamas sympathizer because he's protesting Netanyahu? I'm curious. Dershowitz, you disgusting pervert. Are you gonna answer to that question? Yeah, so I wanna get to that.

So I want to, and I also want you to take note of these heroes who are Israelis and trying to get, very understandable, you get the hostages back, they're family members, etc., but also trying to do the right thing to the best of their abilities. And so one of the people arrested yesterday at the Capitol was the hero Shahar Moore, and we interviewed him recently, so please check out that interview. We made, of course, an emotional, compelling case right here on the Young Turks about it, and then walked a walk in protest of Netanyahu's speech yesterday, and we appreciate him. So now I want to get to the point that this gentleman was making.

So Nanjahou lied, and so did, and so did. And if you see someone saying this, understand that they're doing propaganda and are lying to you on purpose. They keep saying that, oh, Israel's already accepted the peace deal and the ceasefire deal. won't accept it. That is just not remotely true. In fact, as that gentleman just described, and you know, you saw his vantage point, but it's just a matter of fact, Israeli defense officials and intelligence officials are saying to Netanyahu, for God's sake, take the deal. We, this is our deal. There's nothing left to do. So there is no more military reason. The military has said, the Israeli military has said, we did the best we could, that you can't,

There is no more Hamas to get in a way that's realistic enough, right? That we should continue this war. And they want to sign the ceasefire. So there's not even like, even if you're a hard right wing and you're like, I just kill all of Hamas and keep going on to it. But the Israeli military is saying, we're done. There's nothing left to do. So there's one and only one reason why that ceasefire deal hasn't been signed.

is because the minute that it's signed, Netanyahu is going to lose the two right-wing ministers and their party. And then he's going to lose the majority in Knesset, and they're going to have to call an election. And Netanyahu is sitting at a 72% unpopularity in Israel, and he will lose power. So he is delaying this war, killing thousands of more Palestinians, endangering Israeli lives, IDF soldiers and not getting the hostages back on purpose when the almost entire Israeli infrastructure, let alone the entire world, is saying signed a goddamn deal, but he won't do it because he's one of the greediest, most evil, most corrupt men I have ever known in my life.

So he's dragging both the Palestinians, the Israelis, and by the way, also the Americans into more and more war strictly for his own political career. He's evil to find. Yeah, and members of Congress, I mean, they might have like broken their kneecaps by the amount of times that they like stood up and gave him like an insanely loud round of applause. But that's what we have in our in our political system. An insane level of corruption. As long as the checks clear, the politicians will clap like train seals. And that's what we saw in Congress yesterday.

We gotta take a break, Kamala Harris embarrasses herself with her ridiculous statement in regard to the protests. We'll give you that statement and more when we come back. Experian, but all of you who join through the join button or t-y-t.com slash team, you are the young turks. So we appreciate you. Chet Lee, thank you for gifting a membership and Chaplain Fred, gifting five. You guys are the best. All right, Anna. Well, let's stay on the topic of the protests that took place yesterday surrounding Benjamin Netanyahu's address of the joint session of Congress. Let's take a look at what Trump had to say about Kamala Harris's

treatment of Netanyahu. Now what she's doing is she's running away from Israel. She refuses to go to BB Netanyahu is in Washington. She refuses to be able to. Even if you're against Israel or you're against the Jewish people, show up and listen to the concept, but she's totally against the Jewish people. Show up and listen to a war criminal spread lies about his war criminal actions in Gaza. That's what Donald Trump said as he was attacking Kamala Harris, who is now the presumptive

Democratic nominee. She decided to skip Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before a joint session of Congress. And so he decided to attack her on that very issue. But where does Kamala Harris stand on the topic of Israel? Well, let's find out from her husband, Doug Emhoff. Let me just make this clear. Vice President Harris has been and will be a strong support. order of Israel as a secure, democratic, and Jewish state, and she will always ensure that

Israel can defend itself, period. That's who Kamala Harris is. Kamala Harris also went on to release a statement in regard to the protests that broke out in regard to Netanyahu's speech before Congress. Now, there were some protesters who decided to engage in destructive behavior. They defaced the Liberty Bell. They burned the American flag, even though that is protected under our First Amendment, and they drew a lot of negative attention. And unfortunately, that negative attention took away from the peaceful protesters at Capitol Hill, who caused absolutely no trouble at all. And among those protesters were literally freed hostages, okay, freed Israeli hostages, and family members of Israeli hostages.

They were engaging in protests. But now they're being conflated with violent protesters, and they're being smeared by people like Benjamin Netanyahu. And what was Kamala Harris' response to all of it? Here's her statement, verbatim. It's the entire statement. She says yesterday at Union Station in Washington, D.C., we saw despicable acts by unpatriotic protesters and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric. I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas,

which has vowed to annihilate the state of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent, and we must not tolerate it. in our nation. She continues, I condemn the burning of the American flag. The flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America. A promise, I must admit, our politicians have failed in living up to. It should never be desecrated in that way. I support the right to peacefully protest, but let's be clear, anti-Semitism, hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation. That was the entirety of the statement. No mention of the peaceful protesters, no mention of the Israeli hostages who have been freed, who were also part of the

peaceful protests, no mention of the six family members of Israeli hostages who protested Benjamin Netanyahu's speech and were arrested by Capitol police for doing so simply because they were wearing a t-shirt that people didn't like during the speech. But that's Kamala Harris's take on what transpired during the protests. Yeah, so let me criticize both. First, Trump says, Even if you're against the Jewish people. All right, this is so dumb. I mean, this is why it's impossible to like Donald Trump. So, okay, so if you criticize the right-wing government of Israel, you're against the Jewish people.

Well, I've criticized the right-wing government of Turkey. Does that mean I'm against the Turkish people? I've criticized the right-wing government, and by the way, oftentimes the Democratic government, I wouldn't call them left-wing, of America. Does that make me against the American people? If you're a right winger out there, you criticize Joe Biden or Barack Obama, you criticize the American government. Are you against the American people? It's so dumb.

How could you not see that that's dumb? And then he says, oh, Kamala Harris is against the Jewish people. Doug Emhoff, who you just saw the second dude, who she's married to, is Jewish. So that's a curious way to show that you're against the Jewish people by marrying them and spending a lifetime with them. So just come on, come on, on the stupidity. So now, when you turn to Kamala Harris's statement, I know why she does it. She has to say, because otherwise mainstream media will take her head off and a bunch of donors will get really mad. That is, that's not a statement on her position on Israel and Palestine.

I don't know what her position on Israel and Palestine is. That's a statement of donors, don't worry, keep sending checks, okay? because it's not at all balanced. So two idiots, one with a spray paint cannon and the other one that burns the flag, represents the entire peace movement. And you don't even bother to say anything about the outrageous lies that Netanyahu told during that speech. You don't bother to say, hey, even Israeli defensive intelligence officials say Netanyahu is the one that's holding up the ceasefire deal that would get the hostages back.

No, you make it appear, which mainstream media loves, as if the main thing that happened yesterday wasn't like the sick, corrupt politicians giving standing ovation to a war criminal. The major news event was two Yahoo's at a protest did something wrong. So look, guys, Kamala Harris's rhetoric might, might be better than Donald Trump's or Joe Biden's on Israel House. that we don't know yet. We do know, by the way, that she had a speech that was written back in March with that showed more sympathy towards Palestinians. Oh, you want to give her credit for that? Hold.

The National Security Council said, who do you think you are? The vice president? No, we're going to edit your speech and you're going to miss mouthpiece in this case. You're going to say this instead. And she did. And she did. So you want to give her credit for, hey, she cared about Palestinians? Well, then you got to take it away because apparently the National Security Council

Council is in charge and she lets them edit her speeches. Iran allegedly funding pro-Palestinian protesters in America without providing a single shred of evidence. So that's who they are. But back to Kamala Harris real quick, she didn't attend Netanyahu's speech. She's at least savvy enough, smart enough to realize that probably wouldn't be a good look as she's trying to garner support for her campaign. But she didn't meet with Netanyahu privately, one-on-one meeting. I don't know what happened during that one-on-one meeting. I don't know what kind of deals were made. I don't know what kind of promises were made. What I do know is that when you look at both political parties in this country,

both of them are in complete agreement in regard to allowing Israel to do whatever it wants, having American taxpayers fund whatever Israel wants to do, regardless of how devastating, abhorrent, or genocidal it might be. And I don't know how, especially those who purport to be America first Republicans. How are you going to purport to be America first? our politicians, including politicians you support, put Israel before your interests. They see you as a piggy bank, as an ATM machine for the Israeli government. Yeah. How are you okay with that?

That's not America first. So guys, we don't even know what Kahnler Harris's rhetoric is going to be once the National Security Council allows her to speak, if they ever allow her to speak on this issue in a way that's not sanction, but even if her rhetoric is slightly better, I don't want anyone getting false hope. You know, look, we're in the whole business, man. We did Operation Hope, and I told you driving Biden out was not impossible. So we know what's possible and not possible. But when it comes to her policies, it doesn't matter, fill in the blank on any Democrat or Republican. Their policy, they will never take a dollar away from Israel. They will fund Israel. Whatever

request they have, they will get it 100%. There's no chance that Kamala Harris will not do that. There's no chance that Donald Trump will not do that. Donald Trump is going over the top. There's reports in Heretz, et cetera, about how he might let Israel annex the West Bank, which would start a giant war. Israel's already annexing the West Bank. It's happening as we speak.

It is happening right now. Under Biden, under Harris, it is happening right now. Okay, so Miriam Edelson's wasted her money, right? She doesn't even have to wait for Trump. You already have the Democrats doing it, but you want to know what Trump is itching for? Something that I've talked about before, something that to be fair, the America First crowd, I think, discouraged him from doing during his term. But here's what his dying wishes.

This is what he posted on social media today, on truth social specifically. So we posted a video of Benjamin Njahou, and along with that video, he says that his dying wish, if it's If Iran succeeds in assassinating Donald Trump, his dying wish would be that the United States obliterates Iran, wipes it off the face of the earth. Okay, Donald Trump has been a puppet for the Israeli government. You saw it play out in his first term, and you're gonna see it play out again if he gets elected again. He will be goaded into war with Iran, I have no doubt.

And honestly, I don't have much hope for Democrats either when it comes to this issue. Yeah, and he killed their top general, which could have started a war. He moved our embassy because Sheldon Adelson ordered him to. He just loaned out U.S. foreign policy. To be fair, he did get $200 million. So that was a hell of a bribe by Sheldon Adelson to get to change U.S. foreign. He should have been impeached for that. That's worse than what he did in Ukraine.

Why wasn't he impeached for that? Because the Democrats also applaud that. Oh, great. You're selling out to a donor that cares about Israel more than America. The Democrats would, half the Democrats at least, would give you a standing ovation for that. And, of course, the entire Republican Party. you think he's anti-war? Look at him. He's talking about wiping out Iran, starting, potentially starting World War III. We talked to Rudy Giuliani at the RNC, and he's like,

yeah, he's, the way that Trump thinks he would prevent wars is if anyone, you know, does anything, he would just bomb them. And I said, including Russia, that would start World War III. And he's like, yeah. Yeah, smart, smart foreign policy. By the way, doesn't matter how much Democratic lawmakers, doesn't matter how much Biden and Harris kiss Benjamin, Netanyahu's ass. Netanyahu has already come out endorsing Donald Trump. He hopes Donald Trump wins. And then you have Itamar Ben-Gavir, who is, of course, the Israeli Minister of National Security, far right winger. He says this, quote, I believe that with Trump, Israel will receive the backing to act against Iran. With Trump, it will be clearer that enemies must be

defeated. And when he says Israel must act against Iran, he means that the U.S. will commit the men and women of our military to fight that war on behalf of Israel, much like we did with Iraq. That's what's going to happen. By the way, all this talk of like, oh, the protesters, they might be with the terrorists, blah, blah, blah. Ben Gavir was convicted of supporting terrorists. Because he's a terrorist. He's an actual terrorist. He's inside the Israeli government and now controls the government because he's the one that's rejecting a ceasefire. Netanyahu's following him. Was there any outrage about that? Hey, mainstream media, do you know, that Ben Gavir is a terrorist and he's the one preventing the ceasefire deal along with

then Yahoo. They don't care. And you're worried about some Yahoo who spray painted something with other guys in charge of a government and they just killed 40,000 people, including 15,000 children murdered by a guy who's a convicted terrorist that's inside a government. But no, we can't get media to focus, no, but beloved Israel can never, ever, ever be criticized. Like now there's a ray of light because some people in media actually do a good job of reporting reality like Jeremy Diamond at CNN, et cetera. We're like, oh my God, they said something true on mainstream media.

And we're like so relieved. They said one thing that's true. So this is, look, last things here. Kina wrote in on Super Chat. As a veteran, the rhetoric from Netanyahu trying to pull us into a war with Iran was infuriating. Yeah, if you're a veteran that they're going to send in as fodder. They will. They will.

And they're gonna send you and your kids into a war to go get killed. So because APEC gave money to these scummy politicians in America. Yeah, of course you'd be enraged. You should be enraged about all of the corruption. Why do we pay higher prices on drugs? Why are housing prices going skyrocketing? Because of the donors in every industry, these politicians are bought. My last point is you're not gonna get change on any.

of that, including Israel, until you elect an actual populace. Not a fake populace like Trump in Vance, but an actual populace, hopefully from the left, that actually cares about the average American. And that person is not going to win in a normal way. They're not going to be like, well, I was mayor, then I was governor, and I took all these contributions, then I was senator, and then I was in, you know, in Washington for 50 years. But mainstream media tells you I'm an honorable person. Now, that guy isn't it.

That guy is definitely not it. It has to be someone from the outside that just wins one of these primaries and actually delivers for the American people. Until that time comes, money in politics is king and we'll all be paying the price for the corruption of these congressional losers and sycophants and servants. All right, we got to take a break. We'll be back. Thank you.
