Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Welcome to TYT, I'm your host, Anna Casparian, and right off the bat, we already got a comment from one of our members. Will Sanchez writes it and says, hi everyone, hi Anna, great job last night. I was on CNN last night, especially defending off the New York Post columnist and Betsy Death panels, McCohy, McCoff, I did not know who that woman was and I'm happy to forget about her. But if you watched me on CNN last night, she was a former lieutenant governor from what I
Starting point is 00:01:14 gathered and she seemed a little bit out to lunch. She seemed to kind of confuse some of the stories that we were talking about. But anyway, that's beside the point. We've got a good show ahead for you. I say good because I flew in from New York today. I'm pretty exhausted and moody, but we've got amazing stories that have been produced by our fantastic producers. We're going to start off with the reality of the fact that there's no real ceasefire in Gaza, so we're going to get into the details of that. We'll also talk about how there still aren't any international journalists allowed in the Gaza Strip, but as Israel prepares to invite them in, They're thinking about how much of a PR nightmare Gaza happens to be for the Israelis.
Starting point is 00:02:02 So they are making plans to mitigate some of that bad PR. So we'll get into those details. And then there were some elements of Tucker Carlson's conversation with Nick Fuentes that we didn't have enough time to get into yesterday. So we're going to revisit that story and more. From what I gather, Zionists are very upset that that conversation took place. So, you know, two people can have a conversation. If you don't like it, you can just decide I don't want to listen to it. I do that all the time, but anyway, for now, why don't we start off with what I think is
Starting point is 00:02:37 one of the more important stories of the day, and that is the current situation in Gaza, and the fact that even though the Trump administration would have you believe there's a truce, there's a ceasefire, facts on the ground prove otherwise. Gazans thought this kind of trauma was over, but no. As the airstrikes continued overnight, casualties mounted, among them children. One Nassau hit a camp next to Aksa Hospital in the center of Gaza, where patients and their families were sleeping. God help us, said Amna Kronawi. What kind of a truce is this? It's a fragile one, with both sides accusing the other of violations.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Maybe it's the fact that I've been doing this job for nearly two decades, and I'm just kind of fed up with just the endless euphemisms, the lies, the lack of straight talk. So let me just give you straight talk right now. There is no ceasefire in Gaza. When over 100 people get slaughtered in a single night, that's not a ceasefire. So with that in mind, last night, at least 104 Palestinians were slaughtered by the Israelis in airstrikes across Gaza. 46 of them happened to be children. But if the Israelis aren't slaughtering children, what else would they be doing?
Starting point is 00:04:06 It was the deadliest attack since the so-called ceasefire came into effect on October 10th. They burned children while they were asleep. Hanin, Maitere, whose sister and nephews were killed in a strike shouted in the morgue at Nassar hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunus. This just happened last night. And the response that you will inevitably get from Israel's defenders is, what about October 7th, 2023? Because those lives mattered.
Starting point is 00:04:43 The lives of Palestinian children, innocent civilians in Gaza, they don't matter at all. Please don't talk about them. What about October 7th? In the Burrige refugee camp, five members of a single family were reportedly killed in a strike on their home. How do you justify that? Striking homes? Okay. reporter Muhammad al Muni Rawi was among those killed, bringing the total number of journalists
Starting point is 00:05:15 slaughtered by the Israelis to 256. These are the facts on the ground. And I just want to interject real quick to say, anyone who is under the impression that being angry with Israel over what's transpiring. in Gaza, in the West Bank, and Lebanon, where there's also allegedly a ceasefire. Anyone who thinks like, oh, anyone calling this out, they're just anti-Semite, they just hate the Jews. There are Jews who don't co-sign onto this. No problem with them.
Starting point is 00:05:53 There are evangelicals and Jews who do co-sign onto this. Now, do I hate them simply because of their identity or their religious beliefs? No, I hate them because of this ideology that makes them believe that they're actually the good guys as they're slaughtering tens of thousands of children in the quest to steal more land. I'm just calling it like I see it. It has nothing to do with Jewish religion. It has nothing to do with Jewish identity. It has everything to do with the ongoing injustices and slaughter that everyone on. on the international stage has been witnessing for the last two years.
Starting point is 00:06:39 And it's endless, it is absolutely endless, the entitlement of the Israelis, the absolute disregard for human life, the perpetual victimhood as they're the ones who are doing the slaughter and stealing the land. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. The use of the word anti-Semite or anti-Semitism, just basically taking it and destroying what that word means entirely. That word means nothing anymore. Because anyone and everyone has been called an anti-Semite at this point when they've seen the slaughter of those kids
Starting point is 00:07:22 and have expressed utter disgust with the fact that it continues to happen. They're anti-Semites apparently, okay. Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israeli military to carry out these powerful strikes, as he referred to them, after an IDF soldier, 37 year old master sergeant Yonah, Ephraim Feldbaum was killed in Rafa. So since an IDF soldier was killed, and by the way, it is unclear exactly what happened and how this individual was killed, but because one IDF soldier was killed, that means over a hundred Palestinians need to be slaughtered, including 46 children.
Starting point is 00:08:06 A military source said the attack took place in the southern city of Rafa on the Israeli side of the so-called yellow line, which demarcates IDF controlled territory inside Gaza under the ceasefire deal. There is no ceasefire deal. There is slaughter and land theft happening right now in Gaza as we speak. Okay, for Mr. wannabe Nobel Peace Prize winner Donald Trump, he can go and try to lie to the American people and everyone else on the international stage all he wants. He is not brokered a peace deal. And this isn't a ceasefire. Seasfire means that you stop the slaughter. And that's not what the IDF has any interest in doing. That's not what the Israelis have any interest in doing.

Sergeant Feldbaum was killed when one of the vehicles of an IDF engineering team that was
Starting point is 00:10:18 dismantling an underground tunnel route in Rafa was hit by fire from terrorists in the area according to the source. But Hamas says that they were not involved in the shooting. and that it may have been carried out by a rogue Palestinian militant. It could have been carried out by one of the gangs that Israel admitted to funding in the Gaza Strip. And look, here's what I know for sure. There's only one thing when it comes to the death of this IDF soldier that I know without a shadow of a doubt. I don't trust the Israelis at all, at all.
Starting point is 00:10:55 So until I see some actual confirmation of what happened, an independent body investigating this to clarify exactly what happened, I'm not going to buy their narrative at all because they're known liars. That's what they do. They lie, they kill, and they steal. That is what the IDF is known for now, and that's not according to me. That's according to anyone who's been paying attention to this story. I'm just telling the truth.
Starting point is 00:11:22 So they reiterated, meaning Hamas, they reiterated that they were committed to this make believe imaginary ceasefire. There is no ceasefire, okay, the slaughter continues. And the slaughter is very much carried out by one side, where hundreds of people get killed in a single night, and then they somehow make themselves out to be the victims. It is the most, it is awe-inspiring, it really is, it really is, the lack of self-awareness, The lack of personal responsibility, the inability to see how the Israelis look like absolute monsters on the international stage right now.
Starting point is 00:11:59 And we as Americans also look like monsters. Because we're the ones funding that welfare state. We're the ones funding the bombs that are being dropped on the heads of all those children, all those elderly people, all those innocent civilians. And the thing that sucks is that we have absolutely no power to stop it. All this wonderful democracy that we live in where you have two sides of the political aisle firmly up the ass of the Israeli government. What a democracy.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Where literally you can't vote for someone who's gonna put a stop to this. Because our politicians are either blackmailed, bribed, compromised, you get the point. There's a second reason the Israelis gave for launching the strikes. I don't really care what reasons they have. I don't take anything that comes out of the Israelis seriously at all. But to do my due diligence, why don't we hear about how it has to do with the bodies of the deceased hostages? Let's take a look.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Yeah, so overnight Hamas transferred the remains of a body that Israel says it already partially recovered earlier in the war. And Israel calls that a major violation because they're still waiting for the bodies of 13 deceased hostages that are still in Gaza. But Israeli officials tonight are also pointing to this video that they're posting online today, which appears to show Hamas fighters removing a body in the very left corner of the screen right there, removing a body of a deceased hostage from a house so that they could bury it. You see that right there. They then, a few minutes later, move that body with a bulldozer
Starting point is 00:13:39 and then watch this. They pretend that they had just discovered it to hand it over to the Red Cross and then Israel. Israeli officials have been living. about this with one telling me, quote, they're making a joke out of the Red Cross and us, and it's proof Hamas knows where all the deceased hostages are, and therefore proof Hamas is slow rolling their return. But again, a U.S. official tells me Hamas actually only knows where half the bodies are. There are many deceased hostage bodies buried under the rubble in Gaza, and that while Hamas must make a good faith effort to make haste and return those bodies, Israel must exhibit, quote, patience.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Well, I mean, obviously, the only just response to that is to kill 46 children, which is what the IDF did. Hamas, on the other hand, says that it was Israel that violated the ceasefire agreement. And to be sure, they have violated the ceasefire agreement in a multitude of ways. Okay, so one of the ways is they were supposed to allow 600 human, humanitarian aid trucks into the strip. They have not been doing that. Wow, I'm so shocked and chagrined.
Starting point is 00:14:52 That was the most predictable thing on the planet. And as we know, the killings slow down a little bit, but they didn't stop. Nonetheless, after the deadly strikes on Gaza, Donald Trump defended Israel's decision to slaughter all those kids and all those innocent civilians, because why not? Let's take a look. They say it was sniper fire, and it was retribution for that, and I think they have a right to do.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Well, Marjorie Taylor Green, Republican Congresswoman, has a different take. Luckily, there are some of us who aren't unhinged lunatics who salivated the slaughter of innocent people. She writes, Israel's military said Wednesday that the ceasefire was back on in Gaza after it killed 104 people, including 46 children. According to local health officials, 46 children, are these not war crimes? They're war crimes when anyone else does it, but when it's the Israelis, the precious, precious Israelis, well, they're above international law, they're above needing to act like normal human beings that actually believe in humanity. They can do whatever they want. They can kill American citizens and get away with it as they have.
Starting point is 00:16:07 And after the strike that killed over 100 Gazans, Israel declared that the ceasefire is still in effect. Still in effect. Because cease fire to the Israelis means you cease, we fire. And that's what they've been doing. Except here's this. After it was announced the restoration, after it announced the restoration, what a joke, restoration of the ceasefire, the Israeli military said it carried out another airstrike in northern Gaza targeting what it called a site where weapons were being stored for an imminent attack, Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said it received two bodies from the strike. Is anyone really still in denial about what's really going on here? What would it need to be, how many people in Gaza would need to be slaughtered
Starting point is 00:16:59 by the Israelis for the genocide deniers to finally accept what the reality is? That's what I'm curious about. 46 kids in a single night slaughtered by Israel's military. And you'll still have pathetic, embarrassing goons like Emily Austin running around talking about how wonderful, how democratic, how lovely Israel really is. The checks must clear real easy. But anyway, despite Trump immediately running to BB's defense, after After the initial strikes, other officials within the government, meaning the U.S. government,
Starting point is 00:17:39 made a pretty stark admission to PBS reporter Nick Scherfin. So I'm sure PBS will be privatized and purchased by one of the Ellison soon. But before that happens, luckily we get sound bites like this. A U.S. official warns to me tonight, they are still worried that Israel is trying to look for an excuse to, quote, level the place, as in level Gaza, restart the war. So the U.S. is trying to prevent that, make sure the ceasefire holds. Come on. Israel is going to do whatever it wants. There is no ceasefire.
Starting point is 00:18:14 They're still killing people. They're still stealing land. They have no intention of leaving the portion of the Gaza Strip, somewhere around 53% that they're currently occupying. There's no question about that. They want to take that land. They're, Trump talking about how like, oh, we're not going to let the Israelis annex the West Bank. They're annexing it right now as we speak. We're not stupid.
Starting point is 00:18:40 We can think for ourselves. We can see what's happening. We ignore mainstream corporate U.S. media, which is totally controlled by the Zionist agenda. You pay attention to actual news and what's happening on the ground there in Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon and the Middle East in general. And you see the picture pretty clearly. There's no amount of lying from the Trump administration that's going to cover up the crimes that are currently being committed and have been committed by the Israelis over the last two years. Why don't we talk a little bit about what the Israelis are actually planning?
Starting point is 00:19:29 Because every now and again, some of those legacy outlets like the Wall Street Journal don't hide the ball and they just tell you the truth. And I always appreciate when that happens, it's rare. So let's get to the details. There is every indication that the Israelis intend on remaining in the Gaza Strip. Now the so called peace deal that President Donald Trump brokered was supposed to create a situation in which eventually the Israelis would withdraw from the Gaza Strip. But it appears that's not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Now, if you're surprised by that, then you have to be the most naive person on the planet. Or maybe you haven't been paying attention to this story as closely as we have. The reality is the whole game, the whole point has been to steal that land in the first place. Benjamin Netanyahu didn't facilitate the funding of Hamas because he wanted the Palestinians to be governed by a well funded government, okay? He funded Hamas because he planned this from the very beginning, okay? Prop up Hamas, Hamas carries out horrible atrocities on October 7th. IDF soldiers claim testimony you can see by the way for yourselves.
Starting point is 00:20:44 It's on tape that they had stand down orders that day. It takes the IDF hours to respond to Hamas as they're committing their atrocity. Yoav Galant eventually confesses that the Hannibal directive was deployed, meaning IDF soldiers when they finally did respond, ended up killing their own people in an effort to prevent Hamas from taking them hostage because they didn't want Hamas to have any leverage. And then you use this as the precursor, the excuse for everything that has transpired in Gaza over the last two years. That is the reality of the situation. And the land theft, that will be the final part. So the piece that I'm referring to is from the Wall Street Journal titled, A Trip to Gaza's new yellow line shows Israel is digging in. The temporary dividing line between two foes is becoming
Starting point is 00:21:36 more permanent with earthworks and plans for civilian infrastructure. Why am I not surprised? So on Tuesday, the Israeli military took journalists for the first time. Of course, they're escorting them. So journalists aren't free to report from the Gaza strip as they would want to. They're being escorted. They're being manipulated by the IDF. But nonetheless, they were taken for the first time to see the so-called yellow line that has separated the Israeli and Hamas-controlled areas of Gaza since the ceasefire came into effect. Just a reminder that last night, 104 Palestinians were slaughtered by the Israelis. That's not a ceasefire. Israel still controls over 50% of the strip, as you can see from this map, somewhere between 53 to 58%.
Starting point is 00:22:27 I've seen conflicting reports on that, but certainly more than 50%. So all along the yellow line, Israeli forces are manning existing outposts and putting up new ones. The IDF is laying down yellow painted concrete blocks to formally mark the line. But military officials say that only around 10 to 20% of that work has been completed so far. Now, Trump's, you got to laugh, Trump's peace plan dictates that Israel is supposed to pull back farther toward Gaza's borders once the international security force is on the ground and Hamas has been disarmed. But there's no indication either of those things will happen, at least not any time soon. And Israel really doesn't seem like they have any intention of retreating. Israeli military officials say they are preparing for the possibility the yellow line could remain their defensive position for the foreseeable future.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Should Hamas continue to refuse to disarm, the U.S. and Israel are working on a plan to begin rebuilding Gaza only in areas controlled by Israel. I mean, we've shared that information with you previously, which is part of the reason why I'm not surprised by any of this. But I want you guys to pay close attention to this whole disarm argument. because they keep saying we want Hamas to disarm, which sounds like a totally fair demand. But the reality is they want the Palestinians in general to disarm. They want them to be defenseless. And once they disarm, you have no country. Think about our country.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Think about us having our military disarm. All right, well, I mean, we're just sitting ducks. Anyone that wants to invade can invade and we have no means to defend ourselves. Considering the fact that the Palestinians, if they were to be able to finally develop their own state, free of Israel's control, if they don't have a military, if they're demilitarized, who the hell believes for a single second the Israelis aren't going to invade? Come on. Come on. This is so obvious. It's just so obvious.
Starting point is 00:24:45 So they want a demilitarized Gaza, for what reason other than Israel, a nuclear power that's backed by a global military superpower. You know, they're going to pretend they're not demilitarized. We're going to be victims again. Thus, we must invade and we must take the land, not just in Gaza, but also the West Bank. And then after we do that, we're probably going to expand further. I mean, they're already occupying southern Lebanon, they have no intention of leaving, even though the ceasefire in Lebanon indicated that, yeah, the Israelis were supposed to leave southern Lebanon.
Starting point is 00:25:24 They didn't do that, though. And no one's even talking about it, no one seems to care. Because one side gets away with literal murder. The other side, if they sneeze too loudly, it's somehow justification to slaughter for endless numbers of children. So I don't even know what else to say about this. It's just I'm sick of the lies. I'm sick of the euphemisms.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I'm sick of our media and our society pretending like the Israelis are innocent angels when over the last two years we have seen them engage in a level of evil that I did not think could exist anymore. It has made me reconsider religion. That's how evil this Israeli government and military is. Because I want answers. How could people this evil, this disgusting, this thirsty for death and destruction exist on this planet? But they do.
Starting point is 00:26:27 And we, the American people, are literally going into debt. We are borrowing money so we can send it over to them. and fund the atrocities and the land theft and the empire building the Israelis are currently engaging in. That's the reality of the situation. They're also trying to spin this as a noble deed, because of course, why not? Israel is already working on building new water and electricity infrastructure on its side of the yellow line to facilitate the plan, a senior military official said.
Starting point is 00:27:00 There are also, or there are also plans to build new aid hubs, along the yellow line. Why, so you can have some desperate Palestinians show up and you can shoot at them, slaughter them, which is what's been happening? It wasn't clear on which side of the yellow line they would be located, but they would need to serve Palestinians living on either side. The only serving they're doing to Palestinians is serving them bullets to their heads and their chests or dropping bombs on top of their heads.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Anyone who's stupid enough to think the Israelis have any, any interest in helping Palestinian civilians is delusional. Absolutely delusional. These are, we, these are some of the most evil people I have ever witnessed. And it disgusts me that our government is in bed with them. It is what it is. We got to take a break. We'll be right back. How does one cover up war crimes when you know international journalists will soon see the absolute devastation, destruction and death that has been carried out by the Israeli defense forces in the Gaza Strip?
Starting point is 00:28:27 That's what we're going to talk about now, because, well, Wynet, which is an Israeli publication. did explore this topic. Turns out the Israeli government is a little bit concerned about the public's perception of what they've carried out. And so what are they planning? What is their strategy as the Gaza Strip might soon open up to international journalists, who have been by the way barred from reporting on the ground over the last two years so Israel can carry out its genocide?
Starting point is 00:28:57 So let's get to the details. The Israelis are preparing for damage control as international journalists prepare to potentially enter the Gaza Strip soon. We don't know exactly when that'll happen, but it eventually will happen. And they've been restricted from reporting on the ground in the Gaza Strip over the last two years. Israel was under the impression that we're all morons. And if they just kill as many journalists, Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip,
Starting point is 00:29:27 and if they bar international journalists from entering the Gaza Strip, Maybe we won't know about the genocide they've been carried carrying out over the last two years. But oopsie daisy, turns out we all saw it, we all continue to see it. They just killed 104 people in Gaza overnight in the middle of a ceasefire. So what exactly are they going to do? Oh my gosh, these international journalists, they might actually see that we are some of the most evil people on the planet. that we have leveled the Gaza Strip, we have bombed every hospital, we have bombed and destroyed every university, we've even targeted refugee camps, we've done everything we possibly could
Starting point is 00:30:10 to erase the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip while simultaneously pretending like we weren't doing that. So when the journalists show up and they see all the evidence of our wretchedness, what are we going to do? Well, Wynet gets into that. Israeli publication, they write a piece. Israel braces for a propaganda war as global journalists prepare to enter Gaza. Israel is preparing a coordinated media strategy ahead of global journalists arrival in Gaza, including IDF escorted tours and visual evidence to show how Hamas built terror infrastructure within civilian areas and used residents as shields.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Now when it comes to their propaganda strategy here in the United States, United States. I mean, look no further than the likes of Emily Austin, who's so bad at making Israel look good that I would venture to say that their strategy on Gaza here probably not going to work out so well. But let me give you the details. You can decide for yourselves. With international forces expected to enter the strip to assist in locating the hostages and the bodies that Hamas claims are no longer in its possession, Israel is bracing for the arrival of foreign journalists who will, for the first time, see the destruction with their own eyes. Now, we've seen the destruction. It's just that the journalists will get to see the destruction close up instead of the aerial view of the complete and utter devastation that has been brought upon the Palestinian people by the hands of the Israeli government and the IDF. Israel intends to control access entirely, by the way.
Starting point is 00:31:58 If you think they're just gonna, you know, open up borders and tell international journalists, be free, go report, you're wrong, obviously. So the foreign press association to the Israeli government, by the way, they took the Israeli government to the courts because of their unwillingness to allow journalists into the strip so they could do their jobs and actually report accurately on what's happening. And in a response to that, in response the state told the Supreme Court that Israeli and foreign journalists will soon be permitted to enter Gaza under Israel defense forces escorting them up to the boundary known as the yellow line. Okay. Officials across Israel's public diplomacy establishment are preparing for what they describe as an oncoming wave of negative reports focusing on human stories from Gaza. God forbid, we talk about the humans who were absolutely devastated and destroyed, murdered by the IDF.
Starting point is 00:33:01 These stories, they say, will likely feature the suffering of civilians amid the devastation and could reignite criticism of Israel's conduct during the war. There's an inherent admission there that I particularly appreciate. You know, this is going to be a bit of a problem if we allow the journalists to show. they might see what we've done. We've done some pretty bad things. A senior official involved in the planning described the mission as a central task for every branch of the system.
Starting point is 00:33:34 The challenge he said is clear and significant, especially because of the widespread destruction visible in Gaza. We are working to prepare explanatory materials with an emphasis on visual and incriminating evidence to illustrate that Hamas, Hamas turned Gaza into a terror state. I think Israel's the terror state. I think most people who are paying attention know Israel's the terror state.
Starting point is 00:34:03 They've killed tens of thousands of innocent people that we know of so far. They have leveled the Gaza Strip. They've destroyed every residential building. You have a population of nearly two million people who are homeless right now because of the Israelis. They spent over two years annihilating the Gaza Strip and now you have members of Israel's government saying we're not done yet, we haven't, we have to destroy the tunnels. You were there for over two years, you didn't do anything about the tunnels. Oh yeah, you're too busy destroying people's homes and universities and hospitals.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Wretched. We are working to prepare explanatory materials with an emphasis on visual and incriminating evidence to illustrate that Hamas turned Gaza into a terror state cynically using civilians and civilian infrastructure. Man I gotta say these people tend to think they're very brilliant and their talking points are so tired. I am so bored. Hamas is using them as human shields. Hamas human shields. We're tired of it because no one's buying it anymore. It makes no sense. One foreign ministry source said that we expect intensified anti-Israel attacks on social media
Starting point is 00:35:28 and in traditional media outlets. What's amazing about the Israelis is that they want two things to happen simultaneously, okay? They want to carry out war crimes, kill innocent civilians, destroy their homes, level their territory entirely. They want to literally literally rape Palestinian prisoners on camera, by the way, and then if there might be some consequences for the Israeli prison guards who were caught on camera raping Palestinian prisoners, then you'll have Israeli civilians protesting the possibility of punishment for those prison guards. Okay, so all of those things happen, and what the Israelis feel entitled to is for us to support them and not say anything negative about them. I don't comply. This is wretched.
Starting point is 00:36:24 It's disgusting. There is no amount of Hasbara and there's no amount of lies coming from this disgusting Israeli government that's going to somehow sanitize the war crimes and destruction that we've all witnessed with our own two eyes over the last two years. They're totally delusional. So in an effort to mitigate the negative reports that revealed the Israelis for the genocidal scumbags they really are, the government is planning the establishment of designated sites in Gaza where journalists can be shown how Hamas operated from within civilian areas, of course. Officials say that if the plan is approved, several demonstration sites will be created to provide clear visual explanations. One senior Israeli official told
Starting point is 00:37:11 Wynet, the journalists will show the ruins and point to Israel as responsible. Get a load to this though. But Israel's message is unequivocal. Hamas bears the responsibility. We never do anything wrong. We are innocent angels. We kill tens of thousands of children and think we're the good guys. Unequivocal. Man, this is consistent with international law, even if it doesn't look good on camera. Well, that's a senior Israeli official who didn't want to identify themselves. If everything that's being done is compliant with international law, why are you giving an anonymous statement? Shouldn't you be proud of the conduct that's been carried out senior Israeli official?
Starting point is 00:38:02 And another senior official laughably claimed that it was Hamas, not the IDF, that leveled Gaza. We need to make clear that this was a terror state for 20 years, Hamas. built terror infrastructure on top of civilian infrastructure. It exploited schools, mosques, and basically everything that Israel bombed to smithereens in order to make way for Israeli settlements, they're gonna blame on Hamas. We already know the storyline. What's funny is that they think it's gonna work. It's not gonna work, because we're not morons.
Starting point is 00:38:34 You're either an Israel defender. You're like Brianna Wu, who like, oh my God, she like swallows that Hasbara, nonsense day in and day out. She's so proud of herself for doing it. She's an embarrassment. I am embarrassed that we were ever associated with her in any way, shape, or form. Oh, God, get off X, man. What an embarrassment you are. People like that, sure, they'll swallow the Hasbara proudly. But for anyone who has two brain cells to rub together, they're either living in reality, but too terrified to speak about it, because they see how they see how how the Israelis act once anyone pushes back against their war crimes, or they're openly
Starting point is 00:39:20 condemning the Israelis like we are here at TYT. Unafraid, day in, day out, we see the war crimes, your little propaganda trips, your little manipulation strategies for journalists aren't going to work for people who actually care about the truth. And the truth is, these are among the worst atrocities I have witnessed in my lifetime and they're not going to stop. They're going to continue. They're not going to stop with Gaza. They're not going to stop with the West Bank. They're currently bombing Southern Lebanon and occupying southern Lebanon. Tell me if the Lebanese government is ready to disarm Hezbollah. Because you know disarming Hezbollah means that the Lebanese will be safe.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Their sovereignty won't be. All right, let's take a break. When we come back, some more moments from the Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes conversation that we didn't have time to get to yesterday. Some people are really upset that they had a conversation. We'll get into that and more when we come back. on behalf of Israel as real culprits, manufacturing enemies across the Middle East without any justification just to sow chaos globally. I have so much to say about this. Then they slap terrorists on Muslim countries or communities. It's deliberate destabilization disguised as defense. The U.S. is now buddy buddy with an al-Qaeda terrorist who's leading Syria.
Starting point is 00:41:07 9-11 destroyed this country. It wasn't just the her. horrific terror attack that ended up killing thousands of Americans, that was bad enough. But everything that came after that, this country changed forever. There are people now young Americans who never knew a country before 9-11. I was in high school, so at least I knew what this country was like prior to 9-11. Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda carried out that terror attack. And the U.S. indirectly provided weapons to al-Qaeda in an effort to get rid of Bashar al-Assad because Bashar al-Assad wasn't deferential to Israel.
Starting point is 00:41:53 And so as soon as Bashar al-Assad falls, well, that power vacuum exists, right? Who fills it? Al-Qaeda. We had an al-Qaeda terrorist on U.S. soil this year for the UN General Assembly. How are people not furious about that? Let's get to the next story. I tweeted to Ben Shapiro. I said, you know, I've never seen anything on the daily wire that's actually critical of Israel. And he quote tweets me.
Starting point is 00:42:30 And at this time, I have a thousand followers on Twitter. I don't know, I probably got 100 likes on this tweet. It wasn't a viral tweet. he quote tweets me and says to accuse a Jew of dual loyalty is the surest sign of anti-Semitism but the second you're like well actually it's the Jews first of all it's against my Christian faith like I just don't believe that and I never will period and second then it becomes a way to discredit that's when I was like this guys have fed well as you just saw from that video Tucker Carlson had a sit down interview with Nick Fuentes, who's obviously a very
Starting point is 00:43:08 controversial figure. And I was happy to see that they had a back and forth about their differences on how they discuss Israel and what's being carried out in Gaza. I am certainly more in agreement with Tucker Carlson. I do not blame the Jews, but I do blame a certain ideology and a certain government that has carried out the atrocities that we've we've seen it in the Middle East, not just during this genocide in Gaza, but over the last several decades, that you have Nick Fuentes and he thinks that there's an organized jury that is essentially leading to the situation that we're seeing right now on the ground in Gaza. Again, I agree more with Tucker Carlson. I'm just recounting that part of the discussion
Starting point is 00:43:54 in case you missed our coverage of it, because we talked about that yesterday. But there were other parts of their conversation that I thought were worthy of delving into. I wanted to share with you, including this really interesting experience that Nick Fuentes allegedly had with the Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro. So this is all taking place when Nick Fuentes is still in high school. He's like around 18 years old. He's a curious person. He's a self-identified libertarian. he debates someone and apparently that debate he performed really well in. And then he gets approached by someone who I'm actually familiar with. Her name is Cassie Dillon, who works over at the Daily Wire. She was impressed and then there was like this effort to essentially recruit
Starting point is 00:44:41 Nick Fuentes. Now there's more to the story and I want to let Fuentes set it up for you. So let's take a look. Barack Obama in the lame duck period, period. So the Democrats lost the election. He's on his way out. There's a resolution of the Security Council condemning the settlements in the West Bank in Israel. And typically the U.S. delegation will veto those resolutions condemning Israel. Well, Obama's on his way out. He's got nothing to lose. So the U.S. delegation abstains from the resolution and it passes. And Fox News and all the pro-Israel conservatives are calling him an anti-Semite. They're saying he hates Jews. He's an anti-Semite. He hates Israel. I said, how is it anti-Semitic to just be consistent on our U.S. foreign policy? I tweeted about it. I tweeted to Ben Shapiro. I said, you know, I've never seen anything on the daily wire that's actually critical of Israel. And he quote tweets me. And at this time, I have a thousand followers on Twitter. I don't know. I probably got a hundred likes on this tweet. It wasn't a viral tweet. He quote tweets me and says, to accuse a Jew of dual loyalty is the surest sign of anti-Semitism. How is that, first of all, dual loyalty exists. I said it. It exists. There are American, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:09 Americans in this country right now, self-identified American Jews, who seem to be far more concerned with the well-being of a foreign country and that foreign country is Israel as opposed to the well-being of this country. Ben Shapiro is a fiscal conservative who's very concerned about our entitlement programs like Social Security, you know, programs that we pay into as Americans. So we can maybe one day retire and not be destitute. He thinks that we spend too much money on that program and health care and all. But when it comes to bribing Egypt to play nice with Israel, money well spent. $4 billion a year to Israel, money well spent. $30 billion since October 7th to help Israel commit its atrocities in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, money well spent.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Our tax dollars working for us, the American people, what a waste. We're in debt, we're in debt. I'm not going to believe a single politician or pundit in this country left or right when they say they are concerned about our debt as they just funnel more and more of our resources to a foreign country. Dual loyalty exists and that's not anti-Semitism. It's a fact and it's reality. Never thought I would see the day where I would I guess defend Nick Fuentes over the ridiculous smears of Ben Shapiro. You know, Israel effed up big time by carrying out what they've been carrying
Starting point is 00:47:53 out over the last two years because for the first time in my lifetime, I'm seeing Americans ask questions and actually effectively push back against these talking points that had silenced people previously. But there is evidence of dual loyalty and there's nothing anti-Semitic to call it out. Now let's watch Fuentes explain how he actually used to have a very good relationship with the folks over at the Daily Wire. And then he started asking what they referred to as the wrong questions.
Starting point is 00:48:26 I was friends with a lot of the Daily Wire writers, not just Cassie Dillon, but many of them, many of them were Jewish. And I would ask them, point blank, I would say, so why do we give Israel all this money? $3.8 billion per year? What is that for? And they would say, well, you know, there's a really good answer for that, but you're asking it in the wrong way. You're asking it in an anti-Semitic way. I'd say, I'm just, I'm asking for the proof. You know, what's the argument there? And so first it was the sort of, hey, man, could you kind of tone it down? Maybe just don't bring that up so much. But I was persistent because at this time, I was genuinely inquisitive. I wanted to know, is there an actual
Starting point is 00:49:07 reason. And I was actually expecting that there was a really good reason for all of it. And the more that I read, the more that I dug into the subject, the more I found out, there's a lot of these neocon Jewish types behind the Iraq War. There's the foreign aid complex, which is really unique. There's APEC, which is this intense foreign lobby where it's bipartisan. It seems to be the only thing that the parties can agree on. And so it just made me burn more with curiosity. So I just kept asking them. And eventually they said, you know what? We're not going to talk to you anymore. Oh, it's dangerous. It's dangerous to ask those questions. Okay, this is a side note. And I know it's going to take away from the commentary a little bit, but you got the sniffles, bro. You've got to do
Starting point is 00:49:54 something about the sniffles. Okay, it was really distracting. But putting that aside, no, he was asking the right questions. In fact, I wish more Americans ask those questions. And the way that they tried to bury him for asking those questions is super suss. Why? What's wrong with asking, why is it that we fund Israel to the tune of $4 billion every year? And then of course, there's always like supplemental funding that pops up out of nowhere. Like the random $1 billion in extra funding that AOC allegedly didn't want to vote in favor of. Then she voted present and then cried on the House floor and embarrassed progressives in this country with how pathetic she is. Sorry, I know that's a harsh thing to say.
Starting point is 00:50:38 I'm supposed to be very raw, raw about the progressives in Congress, except when push comes to shove, they do a lot of unprogressive things, like provide Israel with an additional $1 billion in funding when we're already giving them $4 billion a year in military aid. He didn't ask the wrong questions. The problem is he asked the right questions in the wrong environment, in an environment where the dual loyalty certainly does exist. And no one's going to stop me from saying that because it's the truth. It's the truth.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Let's pivot to a more amusing part of the discussion because Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes had a bit of a tiff earlier this year. They both accused each other of being feds. It was hilarious. And look, Tucker Carlson also said that Nick Fuentes is like a gay kid living in his parents' basement, whatever. And so that really upset Nick Fuentes. He did a whole broadcast about it. It blew up. And everyone was like waiting for this moment where they would, you know, hash it out. And they did. So Carlson repeatedly urged Fuentes to let go of his grudges against his perceived enemies. And that led to the two of them basically focusing on their recent feud. So let's
Starting point is 00:51:58 watch the clip and then we'll explain the backstory a little more. Look, Tucker, that's why I'm sitting here, you know? I mean, because we had a contentious dialogue for a long time. Yeah, and I thought you were a Fed. I was a Fed. Yeah, I'm not a Fed. But whatever, I don't care what people think? Yeah, we showed each other a badge as we know.
Starting point is 00:52:17 No, but I thought you were a Fed because I was like, why not, it's not cucking to say you're not talking about all Jews when you oppose a foreign policy position. It's not. There's nothing liberal about that. That is just true. That's the Christian position, okay? And two, why are you attacking like the best people and not the worst people? Well, yeah, I mean, again, he disavowed me for my views on Israel and said, I talk too much about white people and Christianity.
Starting point is 00:52:46 And to me, that's like a sincere ideological disagreement. I get it. Okay, so the guy that they're talking about is Joe Kent. That's who they were feuding about. So he's a Republican who ran for the House in Washington, in Washington's 22 and 24 elections. He did lose both times. And according to Fuentes, many years ago, Fuentes privately gave Kent the support of both himself and his organization's political resources on the condition that Kent would never publicly disavow
Starting point is 00:53:18 Fuentes, which I think is a ridiculous ask. You never know what the future holds. What if Fuentes does something terrible? I think Kent should be allowed to disavow him, right? But later, Kent did just that after Marjorie Green attended Fuentes' conference back in 2022. Okay, look, I don't care about any of this stuff. Like, here's what I do care about. The reason why Tucker thought that Nick Fuentes was a fed is because when you have critics of Israel,
Starting point is 00:53:46 specifically blaming the Jews and spewing anti-Semitic rhetoric, those of us who don't think it's the Jews and instead specifically blame a government and those who adhere to a certain ideology, we get lumped in with the likes of Nick Fuentes or whoever says disgusting anti-Semitic things about Jews. And that discredits us. And so many think that figures like that are feds meant to intentionally discredit those who have legitimate criticism about Israel. So that's why Tucker Carlson thought he was a fed.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Now is he a fed? No, I don't think he's a fed. Well, I think he got his start very young. I think he's on the record saying a lot of terrible things. I think he's trying to be or was trying to be some sort of edge lord. And in a lot of ways, that destroyed his reputation, when in reality, if he didn't feed into that gross, hateful rhetoric, and not just about Jews, about women, about all sorts of people, he's actually not a dumb guy. He makes cogent arguments, he seems to be well read, and he would be far more influential if he didn't cave into or give into that rhetoric. Now it's going to haunt him for the rest of his life.
Starting point is 00:55:13 And this is why, look, if you have kids, they're teenagers, they're online, just sit down and talk to them about, hey, everything you say will exist forever, and it will haunt you for the rest of your life. So yeah, look, people are upset that Tucker Carlson had a sit down interview with Nick Fuentes because of the statements he has made on the record. I don't think anyone should dictate who anyone should or shouldn't be allowed to talk to, but I also understand where the rage and fury is coming from because Nick Fuentes has definitely offended a lot of people by saying some pretty disgusting things.
Starting point is 00:55:54 I think people can be redeemed, but there needs to be an apology. There needs to be an acknowledgement. Hey, I was a moron, I grew, I changed, I matured. I personally haven't seen that. But I do think that having these types of conversations are still worth it because we get a little bit of insight into not only who Fuentes is, but the experiences he had with conservative organizations trying to groom him for their own purposes and then rejecting him and attempting to bury him the second he asks questions that they deemed to be inappropriate,
Starting point is 00:56:33 which actually happened to be very appropriate. So I don't know what to make about Nick Fuentes. What I do know is regardless of how much you want him to go away, he's not going away. This guy had 300,000 people watching one of his live streams recently. He's blowing up. And if you want to know why he's blowing up, look no further than our government's fealty to a foreign government that's currently carrying out atrocities with our resources. If you think my commentary about what Israel's been, what Israel has been up to in the Middle East is what is leading to anti-Semitism in the country, how about maybe consider the actions of the Israeli government?
Starting point is 00:57:15 Because believe it or not, people around the world do not rejoice in the endless imagery of children with their limbs blown off or parents picking up their children's body parts and putting them in plastic bags in Gaza. People see that and they get angry. Anyway, I'm in a mood. We're gonna take a break. Thank you, we'll be with us in just a few minutes.
