I've got Representative Tom Massey on the show today coming up in a little bit. And obviously we're going to talk about his race. race can be summarized in one simple phrase, Israel versus America. Massey in this case representing America and some random cutout Israeli asset representing Israel.

So it really could have been anybody. And by the way, as you'll see later in the show, it really could be anyone. The guy's a total mystery. He doesn't say anything about his life. He says a little bit about his life. Yeah. His sealed records in regard to his participation in the Navy SEALs, how he doesn't believe the American people should know anything about the Navy SEALs, his lust for war, his desire

to bring the draft back to force Americans to fight Israel's wars. If he wins, believe me, Israel's getting their money's worth. Oh, no question. I mean, he's so shrouded in secrecy though, like it made me think, did you do some weird secret project for the IDF? And that's why you don't want us to find out who you actually work for? Anyway, he's gonna work for Israel, there's no question, there's a bunch of, well, But to be fair, most of Congress works for Israel.

All right, so later in the program, Bill Maher demands that you wish happy birthday to Israel. If you don't, you're an anti-Semite. All right, I'll save my thoughts for that a little bit later. Iran, but it's Taco Monday today. Don't say that. Okay, I know, I know, I know. I know. Don't fall prey to that dumb talking point because it goads him into more war.

Apparently it doesn't. But anyways, so we'll explain why the war is. was on again and is off again for like a minute and who of course who he's taking orders from. So a lot to get to Anna. By the way, when I say don't say taco to Trump, it doesn't mean that I don't find him to be a coward. I'm just saying it's not a smart idea to mock him for not genetically attacking Iran again. That's all I'm saying. I don't want leftists to think I'm like supportive of Trump because I said that. Anyway, let's get to updates on Iran actually because we've got

plenty of them. Let's watch. The Middle East remains on edge waiting to see if the war will resume in the days ahead. Overnight, President Trump taking to true social with a new warning for the regime, he said for Iran, the clock is ticking and they better get moving fast. Or there won't be anything left of them. Time is of the essence. The president's post comes as reports indicate the Iranians have submitted a revised proposal to Pakistani mediators aimed at addressing some of the gaps in their previous response. that President Trump described as a piece of garbage.

Mm, did he? Well, Trump continues issuing threats toward Iran, as peace efforts have so far failed. The most recent news, though, is that he was planning to strike Iran again, kinetically, as soon as Tuesday of this week, but has since said that he is postponing his scheduled attack. We'll explain his reasoning behind that and more in just a moment, but first, Jenk, it's unclear how reigniting kinetic war with Iran will accomplish a damn thing, but what are your two cents? Yeah, so most important thing here is, as always, are we going to restart the war and when?

So we sit, Trump is now saying we were going to do it tomorrow is a weird thing to say, but he says we're not doing it anymore. Is that even true? Exactly. So we'll talk about that. But one of the things we want to show you here is how the Israel first crowd is pumping up the war. Right. Right, so that's gonna be pretty evident. Let's hear the detail. Well, as you heard from Trey Yinks, Iran shared its latest peace offer or negotiation terms to the Trump administration.

They sent it to the United States through Pakistan, which is kind of mediating these peace talks. However, a Pakistani source, probably to be diplomatic, said that both sides keep changing their goalposts. Now, Iran has been very clear and unwavering in what they demand, so I don't know exactly what they're referring to, what the Pakistanis are referring to when they say that Iran is moving the goalposts. That's why I say I think this was just meant to be diplomatic and not put all the blame on the U.S. side. But the U.S. certainly has moved the goalposts multiple times. So for example, the U.S. first said that Iran cannot enrich any uranium at all, including for medical reasons

or energy purposes. Now the U.S. is apparently showing some flexibility on enriched uranium. What? But at the same time, they're saying that they refuse to ever unfreeze all of Iran's assets. They would consider unfreezing about 25% of Iran's assets in later phases of the peace talks. Additionally, the U.S. will not pay reparations for war damages caused by the U.S. and Israeli militaries, and they refuse to lift sanctions on Iran ever. Why would Iran agree to that, especially after the U.S. and Israel have lost this war. Over the weekend and into today, Trump has issued more and more of his signature unhinged threats toward Iran, including in a statement to Axios, which reads that Trump said that the

U.S. will hit Iran much harder than before if they don't come up with a better proposal. The clock is ticking. They better get moving fast or they are not going to have anything left, Trump stressed. So another threat to just wipe out Iran from. the map, I guess. But in response to Trump's threats, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, Ismail Bakay says that Tehran is continuing to pursue diplomacy with seriousness, but the Islamic Republic will not be subdued by contradictory behavior and threats from the opposing side. We are fully prepared for every scenario. In the event of any reckless action, we will respond with full strength. And I assure you that our armed forces will definitely have new surprises

for the enemy. And there were some mysterious attempts over the weekend, in my opinion, to purposely escalate war. For instance, there was a drone strike at the UAE's Baraka nuclear power plant on Sunday. The drone attack damaged an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter, according to the UAE defense ministry. The UAE, by the way, hasn't officially blamed Iran for it. So we don't know if it was Iran. It could have also been, they think Saudi Arabia. It could also possibly be Israel. We don't know yet. But Trump has said that he received a request from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to hold off on attacking Iran. Apparently he was planning to do so tomorrow, Tuesday. And CNBC reports that defense secretary Pete Heggzith and Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Cain

should still be prepared to go forward with a full large scale assault on Iran, on a moment's notice in the event of an acceptable, in the event an acceptable deal is not reached. And just real quick, prior to this news coming out, Jank, it's important to understand that the Iranians were expecting an attack by the United States. This is according to Trita Parsi and what he reports in his substack piece. He says that Trump appears poised to reignite war with Iran. Press reports indicate that he will convene military advisors on Tuesday. Sources in the Iranian capital tell me they expect the United States to resume hostilities within the next 48 hours.

And Parsi also highlights how much of a loser move this is, and I wholeheartedly agree with his analysis here. He says, quote, we should first recognize that restarting the war amounts to an admission that Trump's previous escalatory gambit, the blockade of the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, of course, has failed. That in turn was itself an admission that the war had failed, which was an admission that the threats of war in January had failed. As I have argued before on my substack, this relentless search for an escalatory silver bullet capable of bringing Iran to its knees is not unique to Trump. It has become a defining pathology of American Iran policy for decades.

And so before we get to all of the devils that are outweighing the angels on Trump's shoulders when it comes to questions of peace and war, Jank, what do you think? Yeah, and a little bit we're gonna tell you what the American voters think too, and it's not good. So this is a head fake because the Iranians knew the attack was coming on Tuesday. So we say, oh, we have decided not to attack them. That's totally possible, so the attack could be tomorrow. But if it's a real delay, he's saying it's because Because the Gulf countries don't want us to attack.

That's weird because just a couple of days ago I was in a debate where the Israelis were saying, oh, we would only want to redo this war because Saudi Arabia and UAE want us to do it. Hmm, apparently not. Oh, the Israelis lying, that's got to be at first. But now that gets us to the main event here, which is the Gulf countries don't want this war, the American voters don't want this war, Iran doesn't want this war, Europe is having gas issues, Asia's having gas issues, shortage issues, inflation issues. None of them want this war.

So it is literally the entire planet versus Israel. So the rest of the planet does not want the war, and Israel does. And I think it's 100% likely that Israel will beat the world and get exactly what they want, no matter what anyone else on the planet wants. I have it at about 95% chance. And- What's given you optimism? Tell me about that 5%, Jake.

Yeah. And the reason why, Anna, is because I constantly double check myself, quadruple check myself. So I sound confident on air, but I'm constantly rethinking. Is it true? Do the facts match my perspective and the pattern? And so what I'm given pause by is, even though I think the markets are crazy, they appear crazy to me. They're absolutely convinced that there's almost no chance of war. Who's convinced?

The markets, right? I know, but the markets are insane. and are not really a good indicator of reality. No, I hear you. I hear you, that's why I don't have it at 50-50 or anything. But they have it 95 to 5 or 100 to 0 that the war is not going to restart. So like- So can I tell you what, I had a conversation with a Wall Street analyst, okay, who I just happened to know personally and ran into the other day.

And I was just curious what his thoughts are on the markets versus what's happening on the ground with this war in the Middle East. They are convinced that we have powerful people within our country right now and people in the Gulf, working around the clock to find an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz. No, but that's not wrong. They are doing that. But there isn't one. He's convinced, remember, he's a Wall Street analyst. Right.

He's convinced that the alternative exists. They're working on it. And we're going to have the free flow of oil and gas before you know it. So why do I only have that at 5%? Okay, you can think about it that way. The reason why I have that is such a low probability, but not impossible, is because, yes, there are people, smart people all across the world working on an alternative. In fact, they have a discussion of a U.S.-Bahrain deal that they're trying to get votes for in the United Nations.

So it's not like people aren't working on it, and it's not like the entire world isn't against restarting this war, they are. That's why the markets and reasonable people look at and go, I mean, The entire world wants this war to be over. So obviously it's gonna be over. And what they're wrong about is, no, the influence of Israel is greater than the rest of the world's influence combined. Now, since this is such a stark difference, and you see we're at 95 to 100% that Israel

is politically stronger than the rest of the world combined, and the markets say, no, we're crazy and no way the rest of the world, that sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory. Israel's a tiny little country. The world is obviously a billion times strong. So now you're gonna get to see with your own eyes who is right and who is wrong. And so don't tell us that Israel doesn't control anything if we're right about this. But also guys, the other thing to keep in mind is it's not like, I mean, get crazy conspiracies or things like that out of your head because there is no conspiracy.

It's happening right in front of you, right? Israel isn't like magically hypnotizing people, like that's not what's happening here. Israel understood that they can buy our politicians. The United States remains a superpower. The United States remains a military superpower. However, because of our relationship with Israel, our influence internationally, globally, has been decreasing, right? Because now you have countries that we have, you know,

launched economic warfare against through sanctions, working together to find loopholes to the international financial system that the United States and the Western world relies on. And so when you talk about the BRICS countries, they're growing in influence and power. I know Americans in the Western world wants to deny that, but it's just the truth. So when it comes to Israel, it's not like there's something who super spooky at play. No, they're buying our politicians and they're doing it out in the open. I mean, that's all it is.

And what we're about to show you because they also are all over American media. And what they set up is this fake version of reality. where Israel is a beloved friend and victim and the Palestinians and the Iranians, et cetera, are all murderous terrorists, et cetera. So that's why when I tell you about my trips to Washington, because they live in the other reality. And so they also think we're crazy, and they think, oh, no, the war is not going to continue. It doesn't make any sense to continue. Literally, no one wants it to continue other than the Israelis.

So they drank their own Kool-Aid thinking the Israelis don't have that much power. Even as every member almost every member of the Republican Party minus Tom Massey votes with them and whenever they need it, any Democrat they want votes with them every single time because most of the Democrats are also bought off by the Israeli lobby. They see that reality and they go, no, they told me on cable news and in the New York Times that's an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. So I'm going to ignore the evidence of my eyes and ears even though we could, as Anna pointed out, literally all see it on TV.

Well, ignorance is a choice if that's what you choose to do, but the reality is the reality. The other aspect to this is, I mean, if you're being blackmailed by a foreign country because they have videotapes of you doing some pretty disgusting and potentially illegal things, is it going to be easier to pressure you to go along with what the foreign country demands? Just asking, just a question to ponder on just for a little bit. But let's move on to the people who are in Trump's ear right now, because it's important to know who's influencing him. And more importantly, it's important to do pattern recognition

when it comes to the pro-Israeli talking points because they love to roll them out and they all love to say the same things at the same time. Why don't we start with Senator Lindsey Graham, who was on Meet the Press this past Sunday. So what happens next? I think we had a wall on deal making. I would encourage the president look at reducing Iran's military capability even further. They've been dramatically weakened, but they're still targets that could weaken them more militarily. And I would also keep the embargo on to weaken their economy. And I'd let the Iranians know if you keep terrorizing the region, Kargallum, which is your source of revenue, will be in play. I think it's going to be very difficult to get a deal with the current regime.

Is there any evidence they've changed? I talked to the CIA director yesterday. Is there any evidence that their crowd in charge now is any less committed to destroying Israel? going after us, the great Satan, purifying Islam? I think the answer is no. The energy infrastructure is there soft underbelly. If you go back to the fight, I'd put energy on top of the list. So you're calling for strikes on the energy infrastructure?

Yeah, I'm calling to hurt this regime. Okay, so there you have it. Senator Lindsey Graham would like your gas prices to increase further by limiting the global oil supply and targeting Iran's oil infrastructure. By the way, Iran has made abundantly clear that if their oil infrastructure or if their civilian infrastructure is attacked, they will retaliate by attacking oil and gas infrastructure in the Gulf states, which would be a global disaster of epic proportions. But, Jank, your thoughts. Yeah, so when Israel puts out a talking point, they all say it at the same time. So Rick Scott, Senator Florida came out, said the same thing as Lindsey Graham.

Jack Keene, a former general, now a sellout trader through this country. working for defense contractors and probably for Israel said, oh, we got to attack now. And then another talking point they're all putting out at the same time is the longer we wait, it's a campaign of deception and delay for the Iranians. And my guess as to how they came out with that talking point is Israel was like, hey, we should do a pretend ceasefire where we keep bombing them, just like we do in Gaza and Lebanon. And that way that could be a campaign of deception and delay for us. Oh, that's a good idea.

Why don't we say the Iranians are doing what we're doing? and delay. Why don't we say the Iranians are doing what we're doing? Oh, they could have weapons of mass destruction like we do. Oh, oh my God, they're terrible terrorists that kill innocent civilians like we do. So that's probably where the talking point came from. Of course. But the reason that they say that is because they're like, don't delay Donald Trump, don't delay America. Oh, that is only helping Iran. No, you have to attack right now exactly when Israel orders you to attack. So Trump also had a phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday. And we can all assume that that phone conversation had to do with pressuring the president to

reignite kinetic warfare against Iran. And then to your point, Jank, you're absolutely right. In fact, we have a video of General Jack Keane on Fox News, kind of giving the American people a glimpse into what to expect now that the only people who seem to have the president's ears are individuals like him. Take a look. Where are we? The president has exhibited a huge amount of patience here. to ceasefire on April 8th. And we've tried to work a deal with these guys, and it just doesn't seem possible.

And where we are, we're on the cusp of going back into military operations. When we stopped, Bill and Dana, we had two weeks to go, a little less than 30% of the targets. Those targets remain, but we have better intelligence now after these five, six weeks.

So that target list is expanded. It's considerably more comprehensive. It'll be a combined operation with the United States and Israel going full throttle all out, no half measures here whatsoever. And when those target lists are complete and they will consist of the rest of the weapons that are remaining, to indicate some of what you just mentioned, to include what remains of nuclear. You know the hardest part of starting TYT? It wasn't being on camera because I'm pretty, let's be honest.

slash TYT. Unbelievably ridiculous. Look, my favorite part of that video was the B-roll that they're playing, the footage they're playing right beside a general Keen, which shows all these Iranian women without headdresses on. Shocking, right? You would think that they're all like wearing head-to-toe head covering. You can't see anything. Anyway, Jank. These people are lunatics and it's amazing that that's general because as he knows, there is no way to win this war militarily, but he's gonna go for it anyway. He's going to give the president this kind of advice anyway, just setting him up for failure. And Trump is stupid enough to use that advice.

Yeah, so look, we definitely didn't want this war. We definitely don't want the war to continue. We think it's an epic disaster. So that is 98% of the story. The 2% silver lining is, if Trump does what the entire planet is not expecting, right? The markets aren't expecting, no one is expecting, and he does what Israel orders him to do, reignite this war, the collapse will be so epic that Trump will be completely done politically, and the Republican Party will be in absolute tatters. So it doesn't matter how unpopular

Democrats are and they are still very unpopular. The Republicans now are becoming so deeply unpopular that they're almost unelectable. The gerrymandering that they did might actually hurt them because they now have districts that are a little bit less safe. And now things are swinging in double digits. So let me just give you some American voter data because it's relevant to this. Right now, congressional balance that were general close to even for a long time, even though the Republicans kept sinking.

Well, the dam is broke. Now the Democrats have an 11 point lead in a congressional ballot, generic one. And guys, context for that is that is not small. That is in that type of polling is a gigantic lead. Because different races have a lot of variability. But the overall Democrats versus Republicans in the congressional ballot racing doesn't have a lot of variability normally. And almost never gets a double digits. So the Democrats having a double digit lead is amazing.

Only 32% of Americans think that we're on the right track, disaster. Three quarters of independence are against Trump now. Only 32% say that we're going in the right direction. 28% say that they approve of Trump on affordability. 28% largely driven by the fact that the war has driven up all these costs. And let me give you one graphic here. Do you think Trump's decision to go to war with Iran was the right or wrong decision? Americans in general have it at 30% right direction, 64% wrong direction, which is disastrous.

He's down to 70% support on the war for Republicans, and I've never seen Trump that low with Republicans. And among independents, he's down to 21% approval on the war. Kiss those congressional elections, goodbye. If he restarts this war, it could be an epic landslide like we haven't seen in a long time in 2026. All right, we got to take a quick break. When we come back, we've got more to get to, including Bill Maher's smears toward

the American people who failed to wish Israel a happy birthday. We'll be right back. Jonathan Ayala writes in on Twitch, I'm ready for Jank to spit some hot fire. We'll see, we'll see if that happens. This tiny bit of yelling on Piersmorgan this morning, and I lit into Bill Maher already over the weekend. check that video too, but we got the receipts tonight. That's a great thing about the live show.

Art guy says, this is on t.y.com. I woke this morning full of Vim, vigor, and pep. Yet I still only have 27% of Jenks energy. Well, I appreciate your sentiment on that. Bloated ego says that recording of him says it's all for Israel and he doesn't care about America's finances should be played around the clock. That would be a smart move by the Democrats, but okay, yeah, he literally said, I don't care about America's finances and he literally said we are doing this war for Israel.

So I mean if those aren't in ads, well then the Democratic Party also works for Israel. Oh no, they won't be in ads. Anyways, Jenks tricep, they don't care about America's financial interests guaranteed to be in ads. Jenks tricep of fury says damn Jenk working the phones to get the reps from Congress on the show. And then I lost that quote right in the middle of reading it. Okay, so let's go to some blind ones. Scott Smith writes in on, YouTube member section, TYT is the greatest new show in the history of time and space. Well, thank you, Scott. Appreciate that. Mark Francis writes in, I personally think Trump is going to declare victory and leave, call it taco or whatever, it's a good thing. Look, I would love

for him to leave and declare victory. I'm not sure that's going to happen. Faye Scott Smith says, Hey Anna, hey, Jenk, I hope you're both doing well. My family and I listen to you every night.

All right, Anna, what's thanks? All right, let's get to our next video. But you have a difficult time at least acknowledging the atrocities that have been committed against innocent civilians in Gaza. Well, it depends on what you call an atrocity. All wars are going to have atrocity. A double tap on a hospital? All war, a double tap on a hospital? So when the first responders show up?

I don't know exactly what you're talking about. I vaguely remember the thing. Right. Yeah, first of all, that's an old terrorist trick. That's what they do all the time. Okay, but are you at least going to acknowledge that the IDF doing that was wrong? Yeah. As you can probably tell in that short clip,

Bill Maher tends to turn a blind eye to the treachery of the Israeli military and government. There he was playing dumb with me and pretending as though he knows absolutely nothing about the atrocities committed by the IDF. And six months later, turns out his latest monologue proves that he's learned absolutely nothing. Now before we get to that monologue, which his audience clearly did not find interesting or funny, Jank, your two cents. Yeah, I love the way the audience hated this segment. And he had a couple of Jeb Bush moments that we'll tell you about, please clap.

It was wonderfully humiliating, but there's two things I want you to focus on here. One is the brazen lie, which will explain that he did in the middle of the segment, and the other is the giant omission from the whole segment. The way that he ignored the elephant in the room was amazing. So Anna, give us the receipts. So we can't play the actual video for copyright purposes, but I'm gonna read word for word what he said while showing you some footage of what the Israelis did in Gaza and the the West Bank, just to juxtapose his statements with the reality of the Israeli state.

With that in mind, let's get right to it. Here's what he had to say in his monologue. Since yesterday was Israel's birthday, having become a nation on May 14th, 78 years ago, everyone must either wish her a happy birthday or admit they're anti-Semitic. Enough with hiding behind Israel or Zionism or Netanyahu, if you think, as so many do now, that when it comes to human rights, Israel is the monster country of all time. You either don't read or don't care about your own hypocrisy because there are so many worse places. People talk about Jews these days like something out of stormfront, except it's not stormfront. It's an editor from the American prospect, which is a venerable liberal

publication that launched the careers of journalists like Ezra Klein. By the way, I checked at no point has that publication said anything negative about Jews? They have been critical of Israel though. I continue with his statement. He says, and yet no one blinks when one of their editors says, Israel is a brainwashed psychopathic death cult that might need to be nuke to save the human race. People say the left and the right can't agree on anything these days. Well, there's this one thing they agree on.

Right winger Tucker Carlson has Nick Fuentes and Holocaust deniers on his podcast. and wonders along with them who really was the bad guy in World War II. And the New York Times has on their podcast super leftist Hassan, who they call a progressive mind and who says Zionish should be treated the same as Nazis based, which I assume means hung at Nuremberg. Why do you assume that? Anyway, keep going. That's what progressivism is now. So we really could someday soon have the tiki torch,

The Jews will not replace us crowd and the queers for Palestine people working together to elect the next Hitler. Democrats, where are you? If any other minority group was being talked about this way, you'd break out the Kente cloth and have 10 benefit concerts. But because you see that so many of your brainwashed by TikTok constituents now have an unfavorable view of Israel, you indulge them when you should be correcting them. You don't tell your woke idiots, Israel isn't a colonizer or an apartheid state or committing genocide. And if your brats had to spend a week anywhere in the Middle East other than Israel, you would understand what liberalism is not. So I wanted to show you that footage because at no point in his monologue did he address Israel's crimes against humanity, namely the leveling of Gaza, the slaughter of nearly 73,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, likely more.

We don't have an official death toll count because there's still thousands of bodies trapped under the rubble. He didn't address any of that stuff. He just makes it seem as though criticism toward Israel amounts to anti-Semitism, and no one could possibly have any substantive reason for attacking Israel, such an angelic country that only does good in the world, right? Except let's take a look at this, quick screenshot for you. This is from Dropsite News's latest reporting.

With no equipment allowed into Gaza, Palestinians are digging with their hands to retrieve the dead. Oh, fascinating, okay. So if you're curious what the death toll currently looks like in Gaza, I've got updated numbers for you. Israel has killed at least 857 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded more than 2,500 in near daily attacks since the so-called ceasefire, bringing the. the total toll since the start of the genocide to nearly 72,800.

But we're not quite done yet, because remember those bodies that are trapped under the rubble, between 8,500 and 10,000 bodies remain buried under the wasteland of Gaza. Only 771 bodies have been recovered since October, according to the Ministry of Health. That's because the scumbag Israelis won't allow equipment into the Gaza Strip, So these poor people can find the remains of their loved ones that remain trapped under the rubble. Finally, many bodies may have disappeared forever. Palestinians killed in areas like Sujaya or Bethanun that have been completely raised by the Israeli military may never be located. So I'm curious, Bill, if your family was slaughtered by a foreign country and that's,

their remains were trapped under the rubble for literally years. Or you find out that you'll never find the remains of your family members because the foreign government raised the entire area, disposed of the remains, and sorry, you'll never get closure. You'll never have the remains of your family members back. Would you be hateful if you were critical of that foreign government? Would you? He is such a disgusting hypocrite and a smug prick.

Back to you, Jank. Okay, I have a lot more. So first in that bombing that Anna is referring to, a baby that was 40 days old was killed, another baby that was eight months old was killed. Over a thousand babies have been killed by Israel in Gaza. So if you're pro-life, and a lot of good consistent principal pro-lifers like Tom Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green have pointed that out as well and saying this is not a pro-life position, they're literally killing, I mean, a thousand babies that they murdered by bombing.

I guess they deserved it, right, Bill? They deserved it, didn't they? Those babies, those dirty Muslim babies, right, Bill? Yeah. But for people like Bill Amar, they don't view those as human babies. No, he doesn't. Like, he thinks that's no big deal. We were just in the way of our bombs.

And if you kill somebody with, you know, a gun or a knife or with your hands, that's just terrorism and terrible. But if you incinerate them with a bomb, that's perfectly fine. That's humane. And so it doesn't count. You're giving him too much credit. Even if the Israelis were killing them with knives, he would find a way to justify. Oh, of course, the Israelis are viciously raping their hostages. With dogs.

And they all say, so what? Who cares? I don't believe it. I choose not to believe it. Even though the Israeli press is reporting it, the New York Times is reporting it, it's corroborated. Look, there's only one of two things. Either they think, no, the Palestinians just aren't human.

We don't care about them. If that was a thousand Israeli babies, they would say there's the worst thing that's ever happened since the Holocaust. I mean, they said that over about 1,100 to 1,200 people. There was 36 kids killed on October 7th. We said that was horrific. They said, okay, good, we agree. A 36 Israeli baby children killed is terrible.

The 23,000 children killed in-Ghous, not important. No, no, but- Jank, I love that you brought that up because when I went on a kid, his podcast, I brought up that point. Worded differently, but I said something along the lines of, you know, when Hamas carried out, what they carried on October 7th, we condemned it. But why can't you? And when I said we condemned it.

He's like, oh, wow, big deal so hard to do. Well, why do you do it? But he can't condemn atrocities committed by the Israelis, because you're right. He doesn't see. He doesn't see them as human. I'll give you some more headlines from the weekend, Bill. So you can understand why people are critical of Israel instead of just smearing individuals, straw manning them as these disgusting anti-Semites, when in reality, they actually care about

humanity, they care about human lives. Israeli military kills 14 Palestinians in Gaza over three days, because of course they do. It continues constant attacks, even during a so-called ceasefire, right? So the other question I have for Bill is, is the entire international community anti-Semitic? because it turns out ICC prosecutor, this is a headline from Israeli paper, Horat's, ICC prosecutor asks for arrest warrants for Israeli officials, source says. According to a diplomatic source, the warrants would be centered on two Israeli politicians and three IDF officials. Gee, I wonder who the politicians are.

Basel Smotrich, Itamar Ben-Gavir, disgusting, genocidal, disgraces, okay, to humanity. I don't know who the IDF officials are going to be, but we already know that Yoav Galant, former foreign minister, foreign military secretary or whatever he was, he already had defense secretary, there we go, that was the word I was looking for. Yoav Galant has an ICC warrant out for his arrest. Benjamin Netanyahu has a warrant out for his arrest. Is it because the international community and the international criminal court are just anti-Semites? Of course he thinks that.

He thinks the whole world is anti-Zemites. What a clown. And that's because. Okay, then I guess the ICC. These warrants for the arrest of Hamas officials should have just been disregarded, right? No, no, dirty Muslims. They're not credible. They're not credible, right?

You have to hate the Muslims. Yeah, I'm so concerned about bigotry. Right. I mean, I mean, Bill Maher's such a joke. So let's break it down a little further. By the way, 14 Palestinians have been killed in the last three days, so now it's 871, Palestine is murdered by the state of Israel since the ceasefire, because they never listened to a ceasefire. And then the minute that Palestinian throws a rock towards Israel, everyone in our press, including Bill Maher's like, vicious savage terrorists, kill them all, right?

Because, oh, but he's pressing a rock towards a precious, precious Israeli, whereas your Palestinians are worthless, right? Now, here's a guy talking about bigotry. Like, everyone's a Jew hater, right? There's no reason to criticize Israel. We just showed you the videos. They destroyed 90% of Gaza. They've, Banania who just bragged that they've stolen over 60% of Gaza and are never going to return it because it was always about land theft for greater Israel. But Bill Maher goes, I don't see it.

I don't see it. I'm a moron of epic proportions. I don't know the news at all. HBO just hired me to do Hasbara. They pay me millions of dollars to do Israeli propaganda and not the actual news because apparently Bill Maher has never read a news story in his life. He has no idea what's going on in Gaza. He has no idea that they displaced a million people in Lebanon. He has no idea that they got us to attack Iran for their purposes.

He has no idea that we spent $8 trillion on the global war on Israel's neighbors. He loves it. Either you know nothing about the news or you know it and you're purposely lying to your audience. And that is, of course, much more likely. Look, Zionism is a cult and you could still have perfectly good people inside a cult. they're just misled, right? So, but in the cult, they teach you that Israel can never do anything wrong. The whole world is anti-Semitic.

They hate you all. You have to strike first, and you have to label everyone an anti-Semite. And if anyone dares oppose Israel, Israel can never be wrong. Don't ever do introspection. Don't ever look inwards. Always attack, attack everyone. And say they're Jew haters. And they try to destroy their lives.

And so that's what Bill Maher gets paid a lot of money to do to try to destroy anyone who objects to Israel and most especially Muslims, as he then ironically turns around and goes, I'm so concerned about bigotry, that's why I want you to hate the Muslims. You see how dirty terrorists they are and it's a good thing we murdered them, right? Right Bill? And then you ask us after you murder our families to wish Israel a happy birthday? Fuck, bro. Okay.

Okay, why, why do we have wish, why do we have to wish Israel a happy birthday? I'm not going to wish, it's a genocidal country, I have no respect for that government. Their military commits atrocities on a daily basis. Okay, so Bill Maher can suck it. That's how I feel about Bill Maher and his demands of wishing a foreign country a happy birthday. Anyway, by the way, did you wish the United States a happy birthday? Did you just a monologue about that bitch? Anyway, let's move on to one other thing he said that really tells you everything you need to know about Bill Ma.

I'm gonna read you a quote from his monologue, okay? And he had something to say about Randy Fine in an attempt to appear fair, although it's anything but. Now there are absolutely horrible things said about Muslims too that should also be, of course, roundly condemned, like Congressman Randy Fine saying, if they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one. That's awful, but it's not the same as they need to be nuked and let's exterminate them. Except, you know, Randy Fine has suggested

nuking or exterminating the Palestinians. Don't believe me. Hey, all those producers that make those nice salaries, I guess they were too busy to research this, how Bill? GOP congressmen, let's put it back up. GOP congressman calls for nukeing Gaza like US did to Japan. They're wondering where I got that headline from.

It's from the Times of Israel, actually. It's from the Times of Israel. And in case you don't believe me, he even said it on camera. Take a look at this. In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis. We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here.

There is something deeply, deeply wrong with this culture, and it needs to be defeated. Did you really mean to say that the U.S. should use nuclear weapons against a people because there's something wrong with their culture? The nuking gauze would be a terrible idea. The fallout would drift into Israel. It would kill the hostages. The point that I was making was, we didn't sit down and say. For example, women and children in Gaza who, you know, the innocence?

I think war is a messy thing. I think your entire existence is a messy thing. Now, there's more. In fact, here's another one from him. This was a post on X. May the streets of Gaza run red with their blood. He posted on on October 7th, 2020. He also said, Representative Fyne on how to deal with mainstream Muslims, quote,

I don't know how you make peace with those who seek your destruction. I think you destroy them first. There's more. Palestinian is just another word for demon. He posted on February 23rd, 2025. And then oldie but goody, I guess. This is from 2021. Someone had shared a photo of a Palestinian child buried under rubble.

buried under rubble, dead baby. Supporting killing innocent people and babies and smearing voices that fight against genocide for some APAC money says a lot about your character. You should be ashamed of yourself. How do you sleep at night? How does you respond to that? Quite well actually, thanks for the pick. Yeah.

Yeah. So- Bill Maher, you're really deeply immoral, disgusting person. You think that you're better than everyone when in reality, the so called terrorist that you warn against, you're actually warning about your own character. So go ahead. Yeah, two things about Randy Fine real quick. So that's such an over the top lie by Bill Amar that someone at HBO, if any standards

exist at HBO at all, should ask him, are you completely ignorant of the news and hence we shouldn't have you do a news program? Or did you lie on purpose to try to trick people into supporting your favorite country? So because this is weird, you're either stupid or a liar and there is no third. third choice in this regard. Because Randy Fein is over the top and everybody knows he's over the top. It's like you would have to try to miss all the news to know, to not know that he called for nuking Gaza, he called for starving the Gazans to death.

So he says the Palestinians are another word for demon. Now if someone said that about Jewish people, what do you think Bill Maher's reaction would be? Who cares? Or if there was a Jewish baby buried alive in the rubble and some congressperson said, okay, thanks for the pick for the dead Jew baby, right? What would Bill Maher do? He would burn down everyone's house.

He was, I teach Sharmites, right? And rightfully so. And I would join him. But when it's Palestinians, Bill Maher goes, who cares? I'm not even going to tell my audience. I'm going to deceive all of them. I'm not going to mention a single crime of Israel as there are hundreds, literally tens of thousands slaughtered, slaughtered,

a stadium full of children slaughtered. But I'm gonna deceive, deceive, deceive my audience. But if you criticize me, it's okay. I have the immunity idol. I just call you an anti-Semite. I don't have to tell the truth. I don't have to. And the audience was the most uncomfortable signs you've ever heard in your life.

And two times he had to go, ha, ha. Like when a joke happens and they don't laugh, he's like telling them to laugh. Yeah, the only joke was him. Okay. That's the only joke on that screen. You know, Norway's birthday was yesterday. Bill, did you wish- Happy birthday to Norway? Hell yeah, happy birthday.

No, no, no, wait a minute. Yeah, and I'm really- Go ahead and cry about it, Bill. I'm really, no, no, hold on. I didn't know that Bill Maher was a vicious, racist, racist against Norwegians. How could you have betrayed the Norwegian people this way? Do you see the sense of entitlement, you lunatic? Why does the rest of the world, oh Israel, a freaking half? Happy birthday. Are you insane? But the entitlement is, we are the rulers of the world.

You all bow down and wish us a happy birthday, God damn it. Otherwise, you're all anti-Semmites. So when you call your entire audience anti-Semites, where you call 80% of the Democratic Party anti-Semites, 61% of the country, anti-Semites, did it ever occur to you, you megalomaniac, that maybe you should look inward, that maybe 80% of Democratic voters aren't vicious haters of Jews, that maybe you're the vicious hater of Muslims and don't mind their babies being massacred. Massacred! But you have no soul. You have no compassion.

You have no morality. You're one of the most indecent people to ever be in American media. And all you've ever done for the last two or three decades is be one of the most vicious bigots in America. Muslims are bad. Muslims are savages. Muslims are terrorists. Kill them, kill them, kill them. If anyone said that about Jewish people, you would lose your mind and you would demand that they be fired.

So are you demanding that you get fired? No, because you love bigotry against Muslims. You sick racist. And by the way, apparently HBO executives also deeply racist against Arabs and one of some vicious bigots against Muslims. They pay Bill Maher millions of dollars to spread that kind of propaganda to get people killed. And to be pro genocide. So I mean, I guess if you have, I love HBO, they're regular shows, but I guess I got to cancel it because they, HBO is telling us we love genocide.

We will pay this genocide denier to lie to our audience, millions of dollars to help beloved Israel commit more genocide and take more from Americans. Because we have Bill Maher smugly telling the great majority of Americans, you're Jew haters. The problem isn't Israel. You are the problem for not listening to Israel and not hating Muslims enough. That's exactly what you look like, Bill. That's why even your own audience hates you.

I told you. I mean, you know what? Let's actually do it. Let's touch the grass. Whoa. Andrew Yang? It's not racist, right? It's him. Yes, it is I. Andrew Yang out here giving money away, as usual.

Wait, but literally? Do you use a phone? Noble Mobile will cut your wireless bill in half every month, and you get paid even more if you log off, look up, and touch grass. Oh, actually. have some grass if you... I don't think that's a kind of grass. Not that kind of grass, unfortunately.

That didn't rain so good. But now it's raining good. Corruption, injustice, the system is rigged against you. Every day, we're blasted by a flurry of terrible news from every angle. which can make it challenging to stay positive and know how to fight back. The damage report is your solution.

Listen to the damage report on Spotify, Apple Podcasts,

By the way, we have a poll up on t-y-y-t.com, do you have to wish Israel a happy birthday? Yes or no? Okay, because apparently you're a vicious aider if you don't. They're so, they're lunatics, total lunatics. But you know, look, we get angry because of how brazen they are in their lack of humanity

or even being able to see Palestinians as humans as these atrocities are committed against them. Nazis. But honestly, that monologue was a sign of sheer desperation. That was a man backed into a corner pathetically attempting to rewrite history when his entire audience knows the truth. And that's what gives me hope. The American people waking up to what's really going on. That gives me hope. But Edwin reminded me during the break, the Ellison's bought Warner, which is part of HBO. So Bill Maher will probably have a salary doubled. They'll be like, oh, great job lying to people to get them to kneel to Israel. Here's double your salary.

So but remember Israel doesn't control any media or any Congress. That is wild crazy theories. That subscription is pretty expensive and I've been happily paying it because I love HBO. Love hacks by the way, one of my favorite shows. But once that change is official, I'm canceling that. There's no way I'm gonna support any business owned by the Ellison's, but all right. Okay, let's move on to something entirely different. Well, not entirely different because this man has become a target.

due to his unwillingness to fund Israel's wars. And so let's talk about the race for Kentucky's fourth district. So the primary race between Kentucky congressman, Thomas Massey, and Israel's proxy, Ed Galrine, takes place tomorrow on Tuesday. And they'll be battling it out for a house seat in Kentucky's fourth congressional district. Of course, Massey is the incumbent who has drawn the ire of the Israel First Republic. for two reasons, number one, his unwillingness to just consistently fund Israel's wars. But more importantly, Trump has directed his ire against Congressman Massey over the fact

that he fought real hard to get the release of the Epstein file, something that Trump and his cronies had promised to do on the campaign trail. Now, Massey was even willing to reach across the aisle and work with Democrats like Congressman Rokana in order to make the release of the Epstein files happen, and I commend him for that. But what has now come from his efforts is this attack to ensure that he loses his seat to Israel's proxy candidate. And again, that's Ed Galrine. So, Jank, before I give you some of the details on how much the Israel lobby has funded Massey's opponent, your two cents. Yeah, so this race is a race between America and Israel. And you don't have to agree with Tom

Massey on 90% of stuff, I don't, but I know he's an American. And so when I'm debating him, I know that I'm having an honest debate. Whereas Ed Galrine has sworn to support Israel unconditionally. And if you don't know this, in order to take Israeli lobby money, you have to literally sign a pledge that your support of Israel will be unconditional, no matter what they do. Even if they murder 10 Americans like they did the last three years, even if they come here for sexual tourism and rape our kids, even if Epstein was a Mossade agent, nothing matters. Unconditional support. You have to take American taxpayers' money and you have to give it to Israel no matter what.

So Ed Galrine has raised his hand and said, I will work for Israel. Tom Massey says he's going to work for America. Tomorrow we're gonna find out, can the Israeli money buy any election in the country? Because if they could buy an election of Tom Massey, a deeply conservative figure in the middle of Kentucky, they're gonna go and tell Congress, that means we can buy any and every election. All of you kneel. And those congressmen will all kneel to Israel if Massey loses tomorrow. That's right.

So let's get to some of the details of just how much outside money has just, just, flown into or flowed into this race. So for instance, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and other pro-Israel interest groups, this is the Israel lobby, of course, have uncorked over $9 million in a bid to unseat Republican Representative Thomas Massey. Now, political reported that just yesterday. However, there's a little bit of an update today, just a little bit, a little bit, A little bit of an update. So this morning we learned that the Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund just filed another $470,000 of spending against Thomas Massey.

So that means that more than $20 million in outside spending has absolutely poured into this race in an effort to defeat someone who dare cross the Israelis. That's what this is really about. By the way, strange that the Epstein story is tied to support for Israel, right? Anyway, so this is probably the reason why Massey has introduced something known as the APAC Act. So leading GOP critic of Israel introduces APAC Act days before record breaking $25 million primary. Representative Massey, the Maverick Republican who pushed back against Trump on the Epstein files in Iran, aimed a not so subtle dig at the pro-Israel establishment that has bankrolled effort.

to unseat him. Now according to add impact, just to get a sense of how much money we're talking about here, $32.6 million have been spent in total on this Kentucky race, house race, from the primary for this house race. So in my reading of the articles, it's about $16 million coming in from the Israeli lobby. So now, you know, reporters report that, they don't hide that fact. But then later, when they're voting on Israel and funding Israel, all the Congress people will vote for Israel.

And the reporters will never talk about, oh, right, they spent 16 million to try to defeat Massey, 18 million to defeat Bowman, 14 million to defeat Cory Bush, as if those two things are unconnected. No, they're deeply connected. This is exactly how Israel buys our Congress. And luckily here to talk about this race. the attacks directed toward him. We've got Congressman Thomas Massey.

Is he with us yet? All right, we're connecting with Congressman Massey right now. He'll be with us in just a moment. Just give me a thumbs up once he's ready. Okay, all right, so let me go on. So wait, why did the Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund put in all this money into a race in the middle of Kentucky where there are almost no Jewish Americans? So why do they care so much about this?

Well, it's obviously because they're saying we want you to serve Israel. It's not complicated, it's not subtle, it's not in dispute. But nevertheless, the media tries to make it seem like, oh, how dare you say this is about Israel? All right, Tom Massey's on now. Go ahead, Eric. All right, Congressman Massey, thank you so much for joining us. I really appreciate it, and I have so many questions I want to ask you.

But the first thing I want to ask is, at what point did you realize that Trump had totally turned on you and wanted to destroy your, you know, re-election campaign? Look, I don't think this is really about Trump. I think you nailed it before. I think it's about Israel. They tried to buy them all right. He is in the hills of Kentucky. So he's having some connection issues there. All right, we'll try to pull him back up.

So look, as we're doing that, let me give you one. one more thing. So as he's saying there, a lot of the Republicans opposed to him are saying, no, no, no, this isn't about Israel. This is about the fact that he defied Trump. But what they don't talk about is, yeah, but what did he defy Trump on? The Epstein files. So are you saying that he should have gone along with Trump and buried the Epstein files? And who wanted the Epstein files buried? Israel did. All right, Massey's back. Yes, go ahead. Yeah. Well, yeah, and this. All right. Right, we're still running into the same issues.

Why don't we, why don't we take a quick break, if you don't mind? So we'll take our hour break and then when we're back in a few minutes, hopefully we'll have those technical issues figured out. We'll be right back. If you're Christian, in fact, I will fight for you to have your religious liberty and practice your Christianity. I believe in that. I don't believe in Christianity, which means that you do not get to dictate the way I live

my life based on your religion. I don't care what the Bible says. You have every right in the world. All those women who identify with your religion have every right in the world to not get an abortion, to not take birth control. But they do not have the right to dictate my life. And what I decide to do with my body, I don't care about your goddamn religion. I'm so tired of having non-stop conversations about what the Bible says.

You live your life in the way that you interpret the Bible. Again, I don't care, but you don't get to take the Bible and tell me, well the Bible says this, in this chapter and this verse, I don't care. I don't care. I don't believe in it. And I have the right, based on our Constitution, to not believe in it. Has been left on skate. Ain't a whole lot left? I don't know why they need any more mom. Let us be clear. The United States provided $18 billion in military aid to Israel. Netanyahu indiscriminate bombardment have killed more than 50,000 civilians, 60% of whom are women, children, paramedics and journalists, all of this is against basic human decency.

You don't starve children with absolutely no humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. It is a war crime. It is illegal for the United States government to provide Israel with more offensive weapons. It will not forgive us. We've been on our phones too much. I feel like we just need to touch grass or something. I told you. I mean, you know what? Let's actually do it.

Let's touch the grass. Andrew Yang? It's not racist, right? It's him. Yes, it is I. Andrew Yang out here giving money away, as usual. Wait, but literally? Do you use a phone?

Noble mobile will cut your wireless bill in half every month, and you get paid even more if you log off, look up, and touch grass. Oh. I actually have some grass. I don't think that's a kind of grass. Not that kind of grass, unfortunately. Whoa, wait, what the? Whoa.

I guess that kind of grass works too. All grass works. All grass and we get cash? Did you see that? Thanks. No, boom, more, make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it. That didn't rain so good.

But now it's raining good. Corruption, injustice, the system is rigged against you. Every day, we're blasted by a flurry of terrible news from every angle, which can make it challenging to stay positive and know how to fight back. The damage report is your solution. I'm John Adirola, and my daily morning show cuts through the noise and exposes the real damage being done to our country, the world, and how we can fight back against it. Corporate greed crushing workers, we'll name names. Politicians selling you out for their corporate overlords, we've got the receipts. Climate disaster, economic collapse,

the rise of fascism, no spin, no establishment talking points, just the truth that you need to survive and resist. But it's not all doom and gloom. We'd love to have you join the Dragon Squad, our community of positive-minded activists who turn the day's news into positive action.

Listen to the damage report on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, because understanding the damage is the first step to fixing it. Norway.

Back on TYT, Jank and Anna with you guys. Unfortunately, the, place where Representative Massey was holding an event. It does not have good enough internet connection. They promised that they're going to be back on tomorrow with a better connection. And by the way, tomorrow on the program guest host, Basim Yusuf. So it should be an amazing, fascinating show tomorrow. So make sure you're checking that out. But let's finish up to Massey's story for you guys here, and then we'll move on to the others.

So we talked a little bit about the money spent in the race. And I also want to talk about what various people have to say about Massey, people who have turned their backs on him, including unfortunately the vice president, J.D. Vance, who I'm sure would like to distance himself from the Trump administration when he runs for president in 2028. But for now, he's kind of backed into the corner regurgitating nonsense from Trump and the rest of the Israel firsters. Take a look. I think the problem with Thomas, and I've told him this in private, and now I guess I'll say it in public is it's one thing to disagree with the party on a particular issue. It's one thing to

take, you know, to have your independent stand on a number of questions. And by the way, some of the stuff where Thomas Massey has been independent against the Republican Party, I've agreed with them with. Thomas and I worked together during 2023 where I was trying to stop the limitless flow of American money to Ukraine. And Thomas was one of the people I was working closest with it. But that's one thing. Being independent, having your own opinions is one thing. Voting against the party on every single issue, you're eventually going to make too many enemies. And that is the problem that Thomas has had. It's not one issue, it's not three or four issues. It's that every time that we've needed Thomas for a vote, he has been completely unwilling to provide it. That is why

the President of the United States has trained his ire on Thomas Massey. It's because we can never count on him for some of the most difficult votes. So Peter Teal's golden boy repeats a lie about how Thomas Massey votes against Trump's agenda every single time, which is just a lie. He's been a fiscal hawk his entire political career. He doesn't want to fund Israel's wars. He doesn't want to fund Israel's wars. Do the American people want their tax dollars to go toward Israel's wars? And notice how, Cenk, Vance wants to speak from both sides of his mouth because he understands young conservatives are on Massey's side.

But he also understands the older conservatives are very much in line with what Israel wants. And so he needs to make Trump happy, please the boomers, but also the Republican boomers, right? But also he wants to kind of leave that door open to appeal to young conservatives, but young Some conservatives aren't stupid, Vance. They see what you're doing here, and you've got no backbone. So you're willing to throw a so-called friend under the bus, right? Anyway. No, I noticed the same thing.

He wasn't like Trump with a dumb Democrat loser, right? He was like my friend Thomas and I, who normally worked together and will be working together when I run for president. Exactly. Right? But right now I have to kiss Donald Trump and Israel's ass. So he has been very disloyal to the Republican Party. Has he?

Because last I checked, he voted with the Republicans. 91% of the time. So he doesn't vote with Israel, okay, that's a huge problem that's enough to disqualify him. But what was the other major thing where Trump really wanted his vote and Massey wouldn't give it to him? The Epstein files. So there is JD Vance going, can you believe he betrayed Israel and all the perverts and pedophiles and voted to release the Epstein files when we were trying to cover it up?

We were trying to cover up for the guilty. so that Israel wouldn't get caught spying on Americans and then using blackmail against all of us. And this Tom Massey guy, who later will be a really good friend? Okay, right now is unacceptable. Make sure you defeat him and put it in Israeli instead. Because Ed Galrine, I don't care where he was born or where he lives, has pledged to serve Israel unconditionally.

Yeah, he's the proxy candidate for Israel. Like, he's Israel's proxy. And if you don't believe me, understand that Thomas Massey as a libertarian. is against funding a foreign country's wars. In fact, I would like for all of our members of Congress to be against funding a foreign country's wars, but unfortunately we don't live in a country that has leaders like that. And Ed Galrine, Massey's opponent, not only wants the United States to pay for Israel's wars to help it build its empire in the Middle East, he would like Americans to be forced,

literally forced, into fighting Israel's wars. wars. Now, older conservatives don't have to worry about a draft, right? Younger conservatives, though, they're definitely worried about a draft. And guess what Ed Galrine wants? Take a look. In 1973, we moved away from conscription, Selective Service and went to the All Volunteer Force. Right. And so that's been the most challenging few years since that transition. And that is a significant issue for national security. If you figure, oh, go, we got to start selective service, we got to get them through all the in-processing, boot camp, trainings. You're talking months downstream. Do we really have that time anymore? Is that a deeply flawed concept? And so what would

really happen if we had to go from what I call a cold start of a pending in a world war, how fast, and what would really happen if we had to re-implement selective service, i.e. the draft, train, equip, and prepare to deploy those forces. I'm not sure we have that kind of time anymore. I'm not so sure that we're on as high ground and deterrence as we could be with, you know, sort of the way things are unfolding relative to our ability to field combat power. Yeah. And so the selective service to draft pertain. Nothing better than hearing a bunch of old crusty men talk about how we need to implement a draft and send American soldiers to their death on behalf of a foreign country. But anyway, back to you, Jank. So now these Israeli bought politicians, which again is about 94% of Congress.

That's why they're spending so much money against Massey, because they're like, oh my God, he's among the 6% we haven't bought, so we have to destroy him publicly. So everyone sees that it's us who did it. Now it's okay because the media will just come in and call everyone anti-Semites and bury the facts, but everyone in Congress will see that it was Israel and that Gow Rhine bowed to us and he was allowed to win and Massey wouldn't kneel so we eliminated him, right? So, but those guys normally say, we need you to die for Israel. You have to use American ground troops.

They never even discuss or debate using Israeli ground troops, right? But now, Gowron is taking to another level. He says, we need you to die for Israel quicker, okay? Now that worries me on a couple of grounds. I already know he's 100% Israeli asset if he goes into Congress, okay? So, and if you want to take $16 million from the Israelis and pretend you're not An Israeli asset, after you pledged unconditional support to a foreign government, you can kiss my American ass, because Ed Galron, you're nowhere near an American, you're a bought bitch

for another country, you're disgusting, including, by the way, mutants like Latimer, who's a Democrat, did the same thing to Bowman, Wesley Bell, a sellout piece of crap, who works for Israel, who's a Democrat from Missouri. But again, we can give you 94% of Congress. Now, what I'm worried about is, why are they doing the talking point? We gotta hurry on the draft. Hurry up, hurry up, we're not gonna be able to make it in time. Make it in time for what?

Oh no, Israel's planning a super extended war in Iran. They need to eliminate all their enemies in Congress now, so Congress will sanction years of war and tons of American ground troops. That's why they're in a panic to start the draft and eliminate any Americans who might be in Congress so that the Israelis, Pretending to be Americans, financed by Israel, will send your kids to go die for Israel in Iran. Yeah, so just be clear, Ed Galrine and those who support him believe in using Americans as cannon fodder for Israel's wars. Fact.

Period. All right, let's move on to something not entirely different because there might be more war on the horizon and it doesn't involve Iran. So let's discuss. There is Cuba's not contemplating an attack on America. Stop, stop. Don't insult our intelligence. Be honest. Tell us what we're doing. It's just whatever. Okay, so are we, are we planning an attack on them? We don't know. There you have Megan Kelly speaking facts about how Cuba does not pose a threat to the United States. Nonetheless, the Trump administration is looking for ways to rationalize yet more regime. change military action this time against Cuba. And the plot is to pretend like we're afraid of their drones, which they claim they don't even have. Before I give you the details, your two cents. Yeah. Has Donald Trump lost his effing mind? Are we really going to attack Cuba? And if we do,

how many wars does it take for an anti-war president to win a peace prize? I mean, are you kidding me, Venezuela, then Iran, then Cuba? If any Republicans said they were anti-war and is still supporting Donald Trump, well, okay, you just want to you admit you're a liar and a hypocrite and totally ridiculous. You know, no one ever really talks about it other than Dave DeCamp over at anti-war.com. But Trump has really ramped up strikes against Somalia as well. He's attacked at least seven countries already. He's killed more than 200 people in those little fishing boats in the Caribbean. Those strikes continue to happen, by the way.

By the way, we're doing nothing for the American people, nothing for the American people. All we're doing is war. Yeah. He said he was, I mean, Donald Trump, we told you, I've been telling you for a decade, the biggest liar in American history, the guy runs a nonstop anti-war campaign, gets into office, and all he does is war. Yep. So what could possibly foreshadow likely military action against Cuba better than Trump's

favorite rag, Axios, which certainly serves as his stenographer these days. So Mark Caputo over at Axios writes, exclusive, I'm sure it is. USIs attack drone threat from Cuba. So at that point, the stenographer over at Axios simply regurgitates an intelligence report without even questioning said intelligence report, writing that Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones and recently began discussing plans to use them to attack the US base at Guantanamo Bay, US military vessels, and possibly Key West Florida, 90 miles north of Havana, according to classified intelligence shared with Axios.

Hey Mark, have you maybe considered why that intelligence was leaked to you? And why aren't you questioning it? Why are you just simply repeating it as if it's 100%? Oh my God, he got a leak. He's such a good reporter. It's exclusive. Oh my God, I wrote down what a government official said. I'm such a hero.

Are you? It's amazing. All right, the intelligence, which could become a pretext for US military action, shows the degree to which the Trump administration sees Cuba as a threat because of developments in drone warfare and the presence of Iranian military advisors in Havana. Ooh, you got to inject some Iran threat into the mix, right? Ooh, Tehran is involved. In addition, CIA director John Ratcliffe traveled to Cuba on

Thursday and bluntly warned officials there there against engaging in hostilities. He also urged them to scrap their totalitarian government to end crippling U.S. sanctions, a CIA official told Axios and on Wednesday, the Department of Justice plans to unseal an indictment of Cuba's de facto leader, Raul Castro, he's 94 years old. Raul Castro is 94 years old for allegedly ordering the 1996 downing of two planes, flown by a Miami based aid group called Brothers to the Rescue. So let me get the straight, jank, the country that we are starving to death, okay? We're so afraid of them and they're drones that we must attack.

We must attack. Yeah. I'm so afraid of Cuba. I lie awake at night, terrified that any minute they're gonna attack us with their fancy drones. Cuba's a real threat. You don't have any drones they claim to have? 300. Okay, yeah, 300 should, I mean, they're gonna take San Antonio any day now.

Okay, so like look, look at the level of absurdity. For Iran, they had to go back 47 years to find something that Iran did against us. So like, remember what they did in 1983 here, they're like, oh, this one's better. Remember what they did in 1996 and 1896? Okay, remember what we did to them, Bay of Pigs, where we tried to take over their country and attack them when they hadn't attacked us. We can go back and forth a million times. So I think that the line about Iran, and this is total conjecture, is about like the Cuban

Americans going, maybe we can get the Israelis to help us start this war. If we say Iran is there. Hey, Israelis, Iran is in Havana. We got to go get them. But my guess is that, I mean, look, I don't think it's going to happen. To be honest, and maybe I'm wrong. The reason, but here's why my theory is to why this isn't going to happen, because Israel doesn't want us to do anything that isn't for them.

So they're like, that's a distraction. No, no, no, send more troops to us, who cares, right? So but maybe I'm wrong, maybe Trump is like the biggest warmonger in the world and he's like, I just want to attack every country I can. And so, and at that point, I'd start to wonder if he really meant it about Greenland, right? And so here's more conjecture, and I'm clear when I say fact and when I say conjecture. So he went over to China and they were looking to see if China was going to say something about Iran, right? And so they were, and they didn't want to continue in the war in Iran until he went to China first, right?

And China comes out of that going. Now remember, the most important part of this summit was America cannot help Taiwan militarily. They said it like three times. So did they go and China say to them, hey, you do whatever you want in Iran thinking, hey, you know what? If America wants to destroy itself fighting Iran for no reason like Russia did with Ukraine, that's a win for China, okay? Go destroy your military, waste all of your money and treasure, right? But if you do that, we get to take Taiwan, okay?

And if we're in Cuba and Venezuela and Iran, you think we can go defend Taiwan? There's zero percent chance of that. And the Israelis would never allow it. So I actually want to skip ahead and go to Megan Kempel. Kelly's thoughts on this. By the way, I should note that Cuba has already made clear that this is all made up, that they don't have the drones besides which if they had a thousand drones, I wouldn't care. I don't see Cuba as a threat to the United States. I see the United States as a threat to Cuba. And I'll explain why after we watch this clip from Megan Kelly. Take a look. Cuba is not about to attack us. These are lies. Okay, we can make, we can have a good faith debate about whether We want to swoop in and rescue Cuba from the conditions we've helped impose on Cuba and be really clear-eyed about why we've done what we've done and why we think they need us. But let's please do it honestly. Let's not pretend that Cuba's about to attack us. Okay, this is this is an insult to our intelligence. They literally cannot keep the lights on down there.

I just want to say thank you for using the phrase insult to our intelligence because that's what I've been feeling about our federal government. for years now, okay? I mean, just constantly insulting the intelligence of the American people, we know that Cuba is not a threat to the United States. We know that Cuba's not gonna attack the United States. Cuba would be wiped out by the US military if that were to happen. And we've been starving them, go ahead, Jane. So Anna, I'm sure you didn't mean to say thank you to Megan Kelly there.

I said thank you to Megan Kelly because she was spot on in that analysis. I thought we had to reject all health and all reasonable things, even if she's against the war, If she's against the war in Cuba, it doesn't matter. She's a naughty, so we have to hate her and disagree with her. All right, anyway. So obviously we're not in that camp. But guys, what Cuba said to the press is we're trying to defend ourselves. Like even if they have 300 drones, they're like we're going to get obliterated.

It's basically what they're saying between. They literally asked, are we not allowed to defend ourselves? No, apparently not. Apparently not. Because America keeps saying, we're gonna invade you, we're gonna attack you, we're gonna murder you, right? And they're like, oh, okay, we pieced together 300 throws, we can't make the toilets run, so we can barely, we put them together with duct tape.

Oh, so you're gonna attack us? Can I just, can't you say? What? No, you told me you were gonna attack me. Why can't we just either leave Cuba alone or if you're desperate to engage in business activity with Cuba, a communist country, you could just keep things chill. like we did with China. And is China really a communist country at this point, Jank?

Not really. No, not really. Of course not. It's a mixed government and they got Levi's and McDonald's all over the place. Okay, so Obama opening up a diplomatic relationship with Cuba would have been a far better path than I don't know, whatever the hell this is. And by the way, we have been starving Cubans to death. And if you don't believe me, take a look at the humanitarian crisis that's been

by U.S. policy against Cuba. These are photos from Congressman Pramilla Jaya Paul and her colleague, Congressman Jonathan Jackson's trip to Cuba last month. They're inside a maternity hospital in Havana. And as they describe in a new op-ed for the New York Times, hospital staff members struggled to get to work without fuel for their cars. During blackouts, doctors sometimes have to manually pump ventilators to keep babies alive. Without enough gas, less than half of Havana's trash trucks are allowed to run. Piles of garbage spill over into the historic streets. And as the sun sets, a now routine darkness takes over, with 10 million people left without light.

Pitch black streets and no electricity to cook the little food people are able to find. We are two older people, both in our 70s, and she's also sick. Our food has spoiled. I'm boiling three pieces of chicken to try and save something to eat. because the situation is really bad. Really bad, really bad. We have nothing left. We're doing really bad.

And I just want to die so I can get some rest from this country. May God forgive me for speaking like this. I want nothing more than to feel proud of my country. And I am proud of the people of this country. But knowing that our government causes so much pain and suffering across the globe makes me sick to my stomach. The fact that that Cuban woman would rather die than go through what she's going through right now thanks to the economic sanctions that have been implemented against Cuba for decades

now, breaks my heart. Anyway. Guys, we know what the right model is, even if we want the same result. So look at what happened in Vietnam. In Vietnam, we bombed them to no end, killed millions of people, and didn't accomplish a damn thing. We got 50,000 of our guys killed, wasted all this money, and then after the war, we're like, Oh yeah, why don't we sell you Nike's and McDonald's?

And they were like, oh, great. And then they became like basically de facto capitalists, and we won. So what are we doing? Just trade with them. That's the obvious answer. We flipped in a sense, de facto flipped China and Vietnam into being at least mixed economies with tons of capitalism in there. So that's how you win, even if you want them to turn capitalist.

So this whole idea of let's starve them to death and then murder them and take over their country is barbaric. It's un-American. And this isn't what the good people of America want. All right, let's take a break. When we come back, we'll talk about Zoran Mamdani triggering some people in New York City by commemorating what he refers to as Nakba Day. Yes. That and more coming up, don't miss it. All right guys, so let's go to X.

We've got a comment from viewer on X, former Trump supporter here. My bad guys, my bad. Okay. Okay, so that's Rafe Jenkins. Hey, no, no, brother, thank you for recognizing it and having an open mind. I love it, okay? Until everybody we're on X, make sure they're watching, okay? So now let's go to YouTube members, Lady A.F says, I saw like 10 seconds of the bill video, then turn it off.

Didn't need to watch that. Thankfully, Jank angrily broke it down later, L.O.L. I did. I tried to not get angry today, but bounds of reason, right? He's so racist, it breaks the mind. And the whole time that sick bigot thinks like, I'm the one who's the good guy. They all hate Jews. We're the best. Israel's the best. By the way, I'm an atheist. The dirty Muslims, the Jews are the greatest. I'm an atheist. Okay. By the way, can I just note that a mosque in San Diego was shot up today? And in response to that, Laura Lumer said the mosque was supposedly shot up today. Just remember, the people who attend this mosque want us all to be killed.

Yeah, she's like, oh my God, I was going to use a terrible word. Okay. She's a wench. Well, it doesn't matter. She's a deep racist. New York Times wrote an article like a week ago and saying totally whitewashed Laura Lumer. They're like godly wonderful Laura Lumer is raising money for what? To smear Muslims and say she is doing it again. New York Times like Bravo. Do you guys know the New York Times reporters are super mad at Christoph because he published

facts about Israel? We'll be back. All right guys, today is member Mondays. So we do the Young Turks 6 to 8 p.m. Eastern at 8 o'clock. I'm gonna have you guys call in, only members call, but everybody can watch t.yt.com slash call if you're a member. And today's topic is if I ran the country for one day. What would you do if you ran the country for one day? We'll do that at 8 o'clock. Tomorrow we got Bassem Yusuf on the show. Make sure you check that out.

Can't wait. It's going to be great. I don't even want to produce stories. I just want to have fun. Yeah. So it'll definitely be interesting and fun. No question about him. So he's in the studio tomorrow. Make sure you're checking that out. And check out our podcasting network wherever you get your podcast. You guys better have that, you know, sensor button ready for curse words. Yeah, yeah, it's hard to contain them. Okay. All right.

Let's talk about knock the day. Well, Zoran mommy. Zoran mommy. That was funny, Freudian slip. I wish we could keep it, but it's a story about the knock bus. We're going to have to reset. I know, I know. All right.

Let's restart that again. Okay, I'm a professional here. We'll do it live. Okay. Zoran Mamdani has decided to go in an entirely different direction from Bill who decided to, you know, smear Americans for failing to wish Israel a happy birthday. On the other hand, you have the New York City Mayor, Mamdani, being the first American politicians, certainly the first New York City mayor, to commemorate something that he has dubbed Nakba Day,

breaking from the regular tradition of celebrating Israel's independence. Now before I give you the details and who he triggered by this, Jank your two cents. Yeah, so it's such a pleasure to see an unbiased mayor who actually cares about everyone. And of course, this has made the Israeli supporters in New York livid. How dare you treat the Palestinians as equal to the Israelis? And they're furious about it. So let's find out more. So here's what he posted on X.

Today marks Nakhba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the state of Israel and the year that followed. Now, in addition to that, Mamdani also, his office, also sat down with a woman by the name of Aenea Bushnak, a New Yorker and someone who actually survived the Nakba. So we'll show you a bit of that video in just a second. Actually, you know what, why don't we go ahead and take a look at the video right now? Let's watch. Yeah, I was nine years old.

It was nighttime and my father came into our bedroom and told us, surprisingly, to get on all fours and make our way to the staircase that goes in to the roof. There were no windows on the staircase because, bullets had come in through the wood shutters at that stage. And next day, we just took what we could carry and went to my uncle Hussein's house in Nabilos, because there was no fighting in Nabilos. The Zionists were, you know, coming into Jerusalem. That I've lived in different places, and I've always been an outsider.

You know, in England, actually, we were called aliens on our passports. I lived in Italy again, not part of it. And after the 67 war, I came here. In this diverse city, I feel most at home since leaving Palestine. So between 1947 and 1949, Israeli forces destroyed more than 400 Palestinian villages and cities and killed thousands of Palestinians. And as you can imagine, Mam Dani's post and video prompted absolute rage and fury from Israel firsters, which we'll get to in just a second. But just to give you a sense of how

nuanced and fueled by justice, Mamdani is on this issue, he doesn't see the world through a Muslims versus everyone lens. In fact, on April 24th, he put out a statement in regard to the Armenian genocide. And obviously he's critical of Muslims here, right? So, So I'm gonna read this to you. He says, today marks the 111 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let this history repeat itself. And then this is the part that really impressed me because it shows you that he's aware of what's going on.

In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh. Karebaugh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior. On this day of remembrance, we reaffirmed the right of the Armenian people and all people to freedom, safety, and self-determination. That was the strongest statement I have ever read from a US politician on the topic of the Armenian Genocide and the ethnic cleansing of Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh. And those were perpetrated by Muslims.

So for him, what fuels him is speaking out against injustice. And so he did it in regard to Nakba Day. He did it in regard to the genocide and what happened in Nagorno-Karabakh. And he has my respect for that. So he's obviously a vicious racist racist against Turks and he should be immediately thrown out of office. Turks were very upset at that post, by the way. Of course they were.

So I'm just pulling in Israeli here. So since I was offended and my people were offended, that means no one should be allowed to have him as mayor, because we're more important than everyone else. So it doesn't matter that the Armenians were killed or that the Palestinians are killed. The only people that matter are the ones that are us. Okay, so as a Turk, that's it, Mamdani's evil and terrible and should be destroyed. Now if Turks did that, people would be like, are you a lunatic? Who cares what Turks think?

I mean, he's actually correct about that. When people who support Israel do it, everybody treats it like it's normal. Totally. They're like, oh yeah, were the Palestinians massacred in 47 through 49, were 700,000 ethnically cleansed. No one disputes that that's true, they're like, but you're not allowed to say it because it offends Israel's supporters. Well, what is that?

What kind of lunatic standard is that where you demand that we lie on behalf of Israel? No, that definitely happened. And Anna, the thing that pisses me off is that when I was going to school in New Jersey, they lied to me. And they said that- They lied to all of us. They said that Israel was attacked in 1948, even though they hadn't done anything at all. And that the Palestinians left for no reason, for no reason at all, right? And they didn't tell us that there was dozens of massacres by Irgun, Stern gang, Lehi. All of these were terrorist Israeli groups.

And they hit all those facts from us. They lied to us and said that Israel was attacked in 1967. Also not true. They attacked all of their neighbors. They hit first, and they destroyed their air forces, and they took their land. They're an imperial empire. They're a settler colony, and the way the settler colony has expands is by murdering the people on that land and taking it for themselves. When Israel first started in 48, Jewish people were only 6% of the residents there.

In order to get to 48%, which was what they were assigned by the UN, they had to move those Palestinians out of half of what is current day Israel. How did they move them by massacring them? Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you on purpose to protect Israel. And what is amazing is the overwhelming propaganda that they have done in this country to get everyone to not know, not realize that they start to start. Israel with genocide. Yeah, I mean, look, my family fled Haifa in 1947 because of terror attacks carried

out by the Urgun. Okay, they would literally bomb marketplaces and kill dozens of Arabs. So they would, sometimes they would kill Palestinians and they would drag their dead bodies through the villages as assigned to the other Palestinians. You better leave now, otherwise we're gonna murder you all. By the way, the settlers are doing it today as we speak, they're threatening to rape the wives and the daughters of the Palestinians who stay in the West Bank, and they're starting to urinate on the Palestinians.

They're disgusting. They've been doing this since 1948, but when you try to recognize the Palestinians as human beings and recognize the pain and suffering that they have gone through, a bunch of Israel supporters come in and go, no, do not treat them as human. We're the only ones who count. No one else counts, but the Israelis. So that's a sick form of disgusting racism and bigotry. I watched a video over the weekend of an Israeli settler beating a dog nearly to death in

the West Bank. Imagine doing that and calling yourself someone who's chosen by God. Anyway, now let's talk about the individuals triggered by Zoran Mamdani, recognizing the humanity of the Palestinian people. So first, you had some Jewish leaders who didn't like the fact that he posted the video of the Palestinian knockbust survivor on, you know, the Muslim. Just before sunset on Friday, when Jews observe the Sabbath and many take turn off their, many people turn off their phones as a result of honoring the Sabbath.

Now, who cares? I mean. Who cares when he put up the video? Oh, you put it up on a Friday when Muslims pray. So what? Videos get put up on Fridays, okay? And by the way, it wasn't the Sabbath yet. The sun doesn't set for another two hours.

Total BS excuse. Oh, we're the victims. Why did you show someone who's a Palestinian as a human being when we're in the middle of murdering all of them? You're gonna get people to realize how viciously evil we are. Oh, you did it on almost the Sabbath. What a preposterous excuse. Yeah, look, I'm right there with you, I don't care.

The American Jewish committee also accused, accused Zeran Mamdadi of sharing a video that's one-sided, saying that- What's the other side? We should have murdered them? Pretty much. Yeah, that's literally their thing. We should have genocided them. We should have done a bigger genocide. That's your other side.

Here, I just shared it. So the American Jewish Committee wrote the following. At a time when Jews are being attacked in the streets of New York, by the way, a mosque in San Diego was just targeted today. But they don't count, they don't count. So far we know three men have been killed in that attack. So anyway, but let me continue with the statement. At a time when Jews are being attacked in the streets of New York and worldwide because of anti-Zionist

narratives, amplifying misleading content doesn't just distort public understanding. It puts the Jewish community at further risk. I would like them to explain what was inaccurate about what Zoran Mamdani put out there. No, what he's saying there that the so-called American Jewish committee is saying there is, if you tell people the truth about how evil Israel has been and is currently right now against the Palestinians, then people will dislike us. So you have to lie to them. You have to lie to them, like we get every government official in America to lie to them.

We get everyone in media to lie to them, we're so disgusted with you that you would treat them as human beings and care about their lives. Only Jewish lives, right? I didn't say it, they're saying it. They're saying who cares about those Muslims that we slaughtered? You should only care about Jewish lives. That's insane, totally insane. Finally, let's go to Laura Lumer who says President Trump should cut off all federal funding

for New York City until Mom Dani resigns. Okay, Laura, I think New York City should stop paying. federal taxes entirely if this is actually something that comes to fruition. Why would anyone pay federal taxes if they're going to be denied federal aid or money? That's ridiculous. Mamdani is using taxpayer money to make Palestinian propaganda about Nakba and his supporters are threatening to attack Jews in New York on a daily basis. That's not true.

Of course, she's a giant liar. All she ever does is lie. Yep. Trump can easily win this fight by denying New York City. all federal funds until Mom Donnie resigns. It's simple, by the way, this is a woman who responded to the mosque getting shot up today by saying, remember, every single person who goes there wants to kill us all. So basically not only justifying a terror attack against people's worshipping at a mosque, but essentially inciting violence on the daily, on X, on the daily.

And apparently it's totally okay, doxing private citizens because she doesn't like what they're spouses or their family members have to say about a genocidal foreign country, she's a terrible person and she's running her mouth as if she's the moral one. Okay, she's a disgrace, a stain on this country. So if we said 1% of what they say about Muslims, about Jews, there would be congressional hearings, right? There would be calls for no one to ever talk to us again, for us to be canceled, taking off of platforms, etc.

But supporters of Israel can go around saying, shut up about about their genocide, no one cares about them. So what if we murdered them? So what if we ethnically clans 700,000 people? Shut up, okay? What are you, a Muslim lover? Oh, they have a Muslim mayor, you should cancel all funds to New York. Oh, Muslims got killed, so what?

They deserved it, right? Imagine we said that about Jewish people. The whole country would go ballistic, right? So okay, I'm happy to have this conversation, the minute, almost all of mainstream media, And all of our politicians admit that they're deep racist against Arabs and bigots against Muslims. Are you guys gonna admit that? And look, at this point, it's not just Israeli supporters, these are Jewish American leaders.

And Jewish American leaders are saying, in unison, who cares about Muslims? We get to murder them, and they better not complain. Otherwise they're anti-Semites and we'll ruin them. Hey, if you do that, then people are not going to like you. Is that complicated? Are you dumb? Are you dumb? Oh, we get to attack you, we get to call for violence against you.

Now a bunch of congressmen today with more husband, propaganda. Oh, someone left me a nasty note. Boo-hoo. Israel supporters threaten to kill us every single day, dozens of times a day. No one cares. The Israelis can do anything vicious that they want, they can be as bigoted and racist as they want. But the minute you even acknowledge a Palestinian as a life worth having and saving, they go, how dare you be bigoted against Jews by treating Palestinians as our equal, as human beings?

If you don't want to be called an anti-Semite and have your life ruined, you better treat Palestinians as dogs, the dogs we beat them like we beat those dogs in the West Bank. Yeah, well, I prefer not to behave like a Nazi, so I'm gonna go ahead and decline. For now though, we're gonna take a quick break. And when we come back, we'll talk about Ben Shapiro coping about the destruction of his own business. I am scary, I am threatening. I'm Darth Vader. All right, let's go to t.yt.com members, sexy speed racer says, go to hell, Bill Maher and take the state of Israel with you. Panic on Funktron says, Bill Maher is supposedly an atheist, but he believes Israel promised land by God, effing joke. Ruea Rial on Twitch says,

Okay, Bill Maher, Mr. Self-proclaimed atheist that thinks God promised the land of Israel 3,000 years ago. Yeah, I mean, of course, Bill Maher has never addressed that because he's a giant liar and a moron. God promised you land 3,000 years ago. You theoretically don't believe God exists. So does he exist and he promised it 3,000 years ago or does he not exist? Or is your atheism just a cover story to smear and attack Muslims? Because you're a vicious racist. Bingo, yeah.

And you're a piece of crap. And it is, by the way, Bill, this is really important. I'm gonna say this for the billion time. I have Jewish family. This is, I'm not saying that about you because you're Jewish. I'm saying that because you're a piece of crap. Don't blame other Jews for you being a filthy, disgusting racist. Don't put that on other Jews, it's just you, Bill.

Okay, I just wanted to be clear about that. Boomer Dragon Cat says, this is a sick joke. No treaty terms will ever satisfy Trump. How long will we will we, will we, continue this farcical game. You're absolutely right. Iran keeps offering to give up their enrichment and Trump's like, uh, and then, yo, what do you think, BB? Don't release it. I don't care, baby, please. It was a 13. I don't know. Anyways, uh, and no, and he goes, no, not good enough. And he ripped up the last offer because

he works for Israel. Dr. Gansel said, as someone who spent, uh, spent a time, a lot of time in Cuba, my ex-husband is Cuban. I'm absolutely disgusted by how the American government is treating Cuba. Cuban people are the sweetest people who would give you the shirt off their back and your government is starving them to death. Your government is starving innocent children and honest, hardworking folks. Back on TYT, more news. We got to talk about Ben Shapiro's latest cop stream, which was quite a doozy. So let's get into it. As the Daily Wire has some business troubles, if you want to put it generously, Ben Shapiro has a message

for his detractors, all the haters can kiss my ass. At least that was one of his latest posts and the topic and theme of one of his latest streams before we get to the details. Jake your two cents. Yeah, I'm looking forward to discussing his insults towards the rest of the right wing, but especially Megan Kelly, that caught my attention. He does his usual spiel of everyone's an anti-Semite, but you have to hate the Muslims, So we'll get to that as well.

But why are they losing so much audience? That's really the key. And what is the future of the Republican Party? He discusses this in this video, and then Anna and I will discuss what we think is the future of the Republican Party, given the numbers and the phenomenon that we're seeing. Yeah, we're young conservatives, hearts and minds are at. So let's just begin with this really well done piece by Ross Barkin over at New York Magazine. So the piece kind of delves into why the Daily Wire is now struggling as a business.

And it gives a number of different reasons. The Daily Wire is instituting significant layoffs. Its website has emerged as one of the great traffic losers in conservative media. The Daily Wire is instituting significant layoffs. That's my voice. Sorry about that. Sorry. So he writes that the Daily Wire is instituting significant layoffs.

Its website has emerged as one of the great traffic losers in conservative media. Meanwhile, the company has seen its subscriber base on YouTube starting to shrink. And that's all very true. In fact, let's take a quick look at this graph by the social blade. And it shows you that despite a small bump in viewership in October of 2025, daily wire subscriber numbers have all but plateaued. In fact, they've gone down. There are daily wire YouTube videos that now, after a few days online, have less than 10,000

views, a catastrophically small number for a channel with more than 3 million subscribers. The top comments all mock the low view counts. So you know, you have to, I'll read one more graphic just to kind of hone in on how bad things are over at the Daily Wire. So the cuts arrive as third party analytics data point to a sharp erosion in Ben Shapiro's digital reach with his YouTube channel shedding an estimated 85% of its monthly viewership from a late 2023 peak. Now, Barkin gets into the various reasons why the Daily Wire's viewership has declined so significantly.

But one of the main reasons is that the conservative Republican ideology that Ben Shapiro represents is no longer in vogue with young conservatives, right? Young conservatives are a little more privy to the reality of Israel wanting to use our soldiers as cannon fodder. They want to drive this country deeper and deeper into debt so we can fund their war so they can expand their empire. And they're just not buying it. They're not into it. So here's Ben Shapiro attacking the very conservative commentators and individuals who are kind of in the know about where the hearts and minds of young conservatives are at, especially when it comes to our relationship with Israel. Let's go to F1. Well, according to New York Magazine, the future of conservatism isn't traditional conservative. you know, like free markets, like equal rights before law, like checks and balances,

like traditional virtue. That's done. The future, according to New York Magazine, is Nick Fuentes, confirmed Nazi stand and woman hater and man who will never be able to get a human woman pregnant through natural means. Or Tucker Carlson confirmed anti-capitalist and Muslim apologists and victim of demon scratching. Or maybe Candace Owens. He confirmed slanderer of widows and connoisseur of French testicles. Or maybe Megan Kelly, click horrid and grandma griper over there. New York Magazine writes, quote, the collapse of the Daily Wire can be seen as a dire warning for traditional Republicans. There are two realities to Shapiro conservatism in 2026. It retains a significant foothold among Republican elites, and it is being fast rejected

by the future grassroots of the party. That reporting is accurate. I mean, you just look at the divide within the conservative movement between younger conservatives versus older And the younger conservatives are a little more knowledgeable about what's actually happening with our alliance with Israel and they don't like it. They don't want to go to war on behalf of Israel. They don't want this country to go deeper and deeper into debt to pay for Israel's wars. And what is Ben Shapiro other than a propagandist for a foreign nation state, Israel? So yeah, I think that's having a huge impact on your viewership, Ben.

I think you know it too, but you're delusional about it. Yeah, I don't even think he's delusional because of the end of the video. So first caveats here, look, I have tremendous sympathy for the folks who were laid off. So they didn't have it coming, it's not their fault, they didn't manage the company, they didn't decide to back Israel's genocide, Ben decided that you don't know the people working there, and plus is a super tough industry. And I have sympathy for his complaints about the algorithms these days, because they are wild. And I went and looked at his videos.

No, he has a lot of videos that do very, very poorly, but he has a bunch of videos that that also do well, right? And so a lot of channels are now experiencing, and I've now seen it on some other left-wing channels, this big yo-yoing. So I get the context of it, and I understand that it's not just the content, that the algorithms are making it go faster and more severe consequences when you lose subscribers, et cetera. So I get all of that, and I feel terrible for the people who are laid off.

Now, having said that, is there a phenomenon where his audience is actively rejecting him? There's no question. There's no question about that. And he knows it because at the end of the video, he keeps saying, you know, is the future of the Republican Party, these Nazis, Nazis, the Islam lovers, blah, blah, blah, anti-Semist, blah. And he basically says it might be. And he never goes back to or it might be us. Because I think he realizes he's lost, right? And so all these over the top insults isn't helping either.

Millions of people watch Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, et cetera. And what was the big break between him and Megan Kelly? He demanded that she condemn everyone who has criticized Israel. Candice Owens specifically. And Tucker Carlson, right? And he lectured her and he said, you better do as I tell you. At her own event, by the way. And you better condemn anyone who criticizes Israel.

So now because she wouldn't condemn other people criticizing Israel, she's a click-horring Grandma Groyper. Disgusting. That's what you could rewind and watch him say that. So oh ha ha, I'm taking a shot at her age. Grooper means I'm calling you a Nazi and I'm calling you a whore because you wouldn't bow your head to Israel. Gee, I wonder why you're losing your audience, Ben.

I gotta say, calling women whores seems to be a favorite among Zionists. And I'm not kidding. Like they love to call you a horse. I mean, she's a married woman. Like what, why would you, why would you call her that? Like what indication do you have that she is that? She's not at all. But on top of that, of course, oh grandma, right, taking jabs at her age, I hope to God.

I look as good as she does when I'm her age, okay? But there's no bottom when it comes to attacking someone who has crossed the precious foreign country of Israel. Anyway, let's go to the next video where Shapiro decides to defend the daily wire by citing the Trump administration. According to Podtrack, our podcast reach is 41 million people per month. We're ranked sixth globally. We have a total of 11 shows. Paramount, to take an example from that same chart, is ranked fourth globally. they have 145 shows. So on a per capita basis, we're killing it. We are responsible for the two most successful conservative documentaries in history.

Matt Walsh is am I racist and what is a woman? Just this week. Vice President Vance was quoting our reporting in his fraud investigations. And our White House correspondent, Mary Margaret Olehad, is in the press room asking questions. So you're being rewarded by the administration that you are celebrating because they're doing exactly what you want with Israel and Iran. Why like no one's surprised by that. Yes, we get it.

Now say something against the administration and see how fast your White House reporter is rejected when it comes to credentials. Yeah, but Anna, so that's where it's really interesting. So his YouTube numbers have plummeted. He used to be number one on Facebook all the time. Everybody, no one, he was great friends with Mark Zuckerberg. They would go and have dinner all the time. So people didn't know Facebook was putting a thumb on the scale. A lot of people suspected that it's pro-Israel content and he's really great to.

friends with the owner of the platform, et cetera. But whatever happened in the past is not happening today. So whether it's organic or not, his Facebook presence is obliterated. He's sinking in the podcasting, but still holding strong as he is said there, but still going down. Now, but the context is super important, guys. He raised hundreds of millions of dollars. And then he blew it.

And now they're looking for new money. And that is why he brags about, you know, J.D. Vance and Donald Trump still listen to us, because the people who get, you know, he's, he's going give him money, don't care if he makes a profit. They don't really care about anything but getting Israel's agenda to be America's agenda. So what he's signaling his investors there is, no, no, we're so good value. It doesn't matter that the American voters aren't listening to us anymore. We still have the government captured and we're pumping it straight into the vice president and the presidency here. So still give me money, even though no one else is watching.

So, Jank, earlier you made a really good point about the YouTube algorithm and the yo-yoing numbers, and you're absolutely right about that. I've noticed the same thing. But I think what makes the Daily Wire different from other operations is other operations are usually very small. They don't have the bells and whistles. Usually it's one or two content creators who don't have much overhead. But in the case of the Daily Wire, we learned through Ross Barkins reporting in New York Magazine that perhaps the most financially devastating hit to the company was the world of film where

despite a moderately successful return on a Matt Walsh documentary, they would go on to spend $3 million per episode on a fantasy series. So they, yes, they got a tremendous amount of money, which they then squandered on nonsense. So they couldn't withstand the algorithmic changes in addition to the loss in popularity because of, you know, Ben Shapiro's admiration and devotion to Israel first and foremost. I'm gonna go to one more video. So in this one he talks, well, I'm not going to give too much away. Let's take a look. I'm betting that there are way more people in America who believe in truth and virtue and freedom than people who revel in grievance and demoralization and stupidity.

And again, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we lose. But here's the thing that also doesn't change a thing. It doesn't change a thing. It doesn't matter because the only thing that matters is the only thing that has ever mattered to me. Speaking the truth, whether people like it or whether they don't, because facts still don't don't care about your feelings. This is the Ben Shapiro show. Bold claim considering the fact that he allows his feelings to get in the way when it comes to foreign policy related to Israel all the time. Final word from you, Jank. Yeah, so three million per video, which rocket scientist thought that you could make up

three million in revenue for a YouTube video? Do you know how bad you have? have to be at this business to think that that was going to work. And then they were trying to compete with Netflix on kids programming. With how many billions of dollars are you going to do that? My guess as to why they tried that was like, we'll show Miss Rachel, we'll do pro-genocide kids content. They'll love it. And they'll love it.

Turns out they didn't love it, okay? And lastly, he said, you guys are, all these other people are betraying traditional values and traditional conservatism. And that's why he was actually upset. Not about Israel, but about traditional conservatism. That's why he went around calling everyone Nazis and groipers and whores. And demands that we go further in debt to fund a foreign country's war. Huh, weird.

We'll be right back. Do you know your brain rot index? Of course you don't. I didn't either because I don't know what that was. But you might want to actually after hearing this.
