You're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. All right, welcome to the Young Turks, live from the Polymarket Studio here in L.A. Jank Uyghur, Anna Kasparan with you guys. Well, we've got the usual two giant stories for you guys, enormous war in the Middle East. now spreading to more countries, but obviously also the presidential election where Malani and Trump has turned on Donald Trump.

So, indeed. Spousal abuse. I'm just kidding, it's not, but fun. So she's coming out of the shadows, as you'll see. So we've got a lot to give you on that, including details you haven't seen in the rest of media as well. But first, war. Yeah, all right, look, there's a lot going on in the middle.

East, we could literally dedicate every episode and every hour of the show to what's happening in the Middle East. But for today, I wanted to focus on an American who was killed in Lebanon. Take it away. And there's been reports of an American citizen killed in Lebanon, can you give us any? We have seen those reports. It's our understanding that it was a legal permanent resident, not an American citizen. But we obviously offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss.

On Tuesday of this week, an American man by the name of Hage Kamal Ahmed Jawad was killed by an Israeli air strike in Lebanon. His family confirmed that he is not simply a U.S. resident. He was a United States citizen, but as you just heard from the State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, he alleges that he was actually just a legal permanent resident. Now, the Biden administration is also refusing to acknowledge the fact that Jawad was killed by the IDF, which the U.S. of course, rewards with endless weaponry, which is then in some cases used to carry out air strikes that kill Americans. And a White House spokesperson issued the following statement about Jawad's death.

Quote, we are deeply saddened by the death of Kamal Ahmed Jawad and our hearts go out to his family and friends. His death is a tragedy, as are the deaths of many civilians in Lebanon. Which we financed, by the way. Right, exactly. And note the deliberate omission of the fact that we're not, look, any civilian who gets killed is an injustice, okay? But what's particularly perverse and disgusting is when our taxpayer money goes toward military weaponry for a country that uses it in airstrikes that kill all these civilians.

including in some cases Americans it is disgusting and that omission of what his status is as a United States citizen I don't think was on accident I think it was very much on purpose yeah so well first of well is he really fully American citizen he's not even Israeli so we'll get to how disparate the treatment is for the US citizens that are Israeli versus ones that are Lebanese or Arab or Muslim we have more details on that coming up now I relate to this guy in a couple of different So I was a legal resident and had a green card before I became a citizen, right? That's usually how the process works.

So what I was always afraid of when I had a green card was exactly what that U.S. spokesperson just said. It's just a legal resident. If you've never gone through that, of course, there's no way you would know that. But for everyone who's not a full U.S. citizen, you feel like, you know, the U.S. government might or might not care about you. So if you were like hold up in a different country, would they come to rescue? Probably not, right?

But that's why when I became a U.S. citizen, and you should go to one of those events. It is, the people in that room are so proud that they became Americans. And I felt like, hey, I'm going to get full equality here. And I really believe that until recently. But now I realized, no, no, no. First of all, you're not really 100% citizens. Since you weren't born here, you're not allowed to run for president. We don't really trust you.

We don't trust you, we think you might be a foreign agent or something, we won't let you run, even though everyone else in the country has 14th Amendment right to equal process and due process and equality, you don't, right? And now you see that you're a spokesperson with your own eyes, I mean, he's wrong, the guy was a US citizen, but if he wasn't, he's like, yeah, but who cares about you, right? And then you become a citizen, and he actually is a citizen, and are they doing anything to to get them out of Lebanon? Are they panicking like they did with Israel, which again, we're going to tell you about in a sec? No, of course not, because you're a Muslim U.S. citizen.

Your life is worth less to the American government. Well, is that written in law anywhere or in the Constitution? No, that one's got nothing to do with the Constitution, nothing with the law. It's just that Muslim Americans don't donate as much to American politicians as people who support Israel. So that's why our lives are worth less because we don't give as much money and bribe. to American politicians. Jay, I actually think it's much worse than that. Okay, I think that it doesn't even matter what kind of American you are, what your, you know, cultural background is.

The United States government does not care about you. And I'm saying this about a government that's currently being led by a Democrat. They don't care about you. Okay, if Israel does airstrikes that take out Americans, regardless of what their religion or faith is or what their cultural, background is, they don't care. They just don't care. I mean, think about it. We're risking the lives of tens of thousands of American troops right now who are stationed in the Middle East. We sent additional troops, an additional, I don't even know, they're being very opaque

about the amount of additional troops they sent to the Middle East. But those are all people who were there specifically to defend a nuclear power that's carrying out air strikes and aerial bombardments of multiple sovereign countries. Yeah, I mean, first of all, their military as better capacity than the entire Middle East combined. Then they have nukes. Then they have a defense shield that seems impenetrable. One Hezbollah rocket has landed with casualties after October 7th, which they seem to have, well, let's put it this way. Israeli intelligence clearly know about it.

We've now seen Israeli intelligence amazing capabilities. And golly, gee, October 7th just happened to happen so that we can invade five countries. and take more land, golly, gee, but U.S. troops, you go die for us over there, okay? Why? Why? Because the citizens are expendable. The donors are the most valuable, cherished thing in the whole wide world. So just, I know it's ugly, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's U.S. politician. It's not really a democracy. Those donors are the oligarchs that rule us all, and then they send out mainstream media to lie to you and create a mirage of equality when no such equality exists.

Jawad's family wrote a statement saying that in his last days he chose to stay near the main hospital of Nabatay to help the elderly disabled, injured, and those who simply couldn't financially afford to flee. He served as their guardian, provided them with food, mattresses, and other comforts, and anonymously paid off their debts. Now, he was a resident of Dearborn, Michigan, which, you know, is an American city in case the Biden administration needs a reminder of that. An American city that Democrats are now rapidly losing support in for obvious reasons. Congresswoman Rashida Talib's office has stated that they have been in touch with his family. Rashida Talib, one of the very few Democrats who's actually on the right side of this issue.

Meanwhile, the number of casualties in Lebanon grows higher and higher. More than 1,000 people, roughly a quarter of them, women and children, have been killed by Israeli attacks on Lebanon since mid-September in less than a month. And the United States continues to disregard American citizens who are currently in Lebanon, not just Jawad. But as I had shared with you all earlier this week, it appears that the U.S. isn't really concerned about a vacuum. evacuating Americans who are currently in Lebanon. Yasha Ali tweets that the New York Times reports that there were no U.S. officials, by the way, at the funeral of Ainsur Aigi, the U.S. citizen who was killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank last week.

We, I mean, they can't even be bothered to send someone that represents the Biden administration. anyone, you know, just for just for appearances to go to that funeral and show a little bit of compassion for what she and her family have gone through as a result of the war that we are supporting, we are funding and enabling, by the way, regardless of how many civilians get killed, regardless of how many Americans get killed, regardless of how much it destroys our own country, it destroys Israel's own country, it doesn't matter. We're just going to keep funneling the weapons and enabling one of the most belligerent governments I have seen in a long time. Go ahead. Yeah. So first of all, I appreciate the Biden

administration's honesty. They don't care about her. And so they made that obvious by not showing up to the funeral. So they're like, yeah, she's an American, but she's a Turkish American. Why? And if we go, people might write a story about it. And we don't want to remind people that Israel assassinated her. Sniper hit her from hundreds of yards away after a protest was done with a kill shot. But my guess is they'll say, well, a human shield was by a tree, was trying to protect.

The tree was using her as a human shield. That's why we had to assassinate her. I mean, it was just collateral damage. We were just trying to take some bark off that had Palestinian tree. Yeah, I mean, there was a protest earlier where people were allegedly throwing rocks. So obviously, you've got to bring in the snipers. Yeah, and, you know, they assassinated an American journalist there

as well, but again, Muslim American, one of the most famous journalists in the Middle East. But do American lives really count if they're not Israeli lives? Are they allowed to do airstrikes on American soil? That is a legitimate question. I'm seriously and sincerely asking that question. Can Netanyahu do airstrikes on American soil? Alleged that there are Hamas militants. There's a command center.

There's a command center. Don't give them ideas, Anna. I swear to God, don't. Because if Israel started killing people inside America, do you think their funding would be cut? You know what the answer to that is? No, there's no chance it would be cut. They have so much power here that there's nothing they could do. Literally nothing they could do that that would get their funding cut.

I mean, later in the show, we're going to show you several different articles, political, Washington Post, et cetera, where they did these giant exposés of how Biden has become impotent. etc against Israel and never is it ever suggested that maybe Biden could have protected the American interest if he threatened to cut their funding because all of Washington, every reporter and almost every politician thinks, well, we must do what Israel says. That's not even an option to say no. So no matter, they kill American citizens? Who cares?

They assassinate an American journalist? Who cares? We're not even going to show up to the American that they killed. Oh, you're an American who's stuck in Lebanon? We'll help you through Expedia.com maybe find a commercial flight. I'm not kidding the Expedia part I made up but you know Anna go ahead and tell. The state department issued a statement because people were asking, hey, is the, you know, is the government going to help evacuate these American citizens who are currently in Lebanon?

Mind you, as people are asking this, you have China, you know, evacuating, paying for and evacuating their own citizens out of Lebanon, okay, getting them out of there. The U.S. is like, yeah, you know, there's commercial flights. We're not really dealing with this at this time, you know, deal with it yourself, pay for it yourself. You know, we've got to save every nickel, every dollar for weaponry for Israel so they can keep carrying out these airstrikes. Well, U.S. Marine veteran by the name of Jod Haider, was recently featured in Zetio, and basically he said he was trapped in Lebanon. He wanted to get out. He was having difficulty getting out. And because his story got some attention, the U.S. State Department decided, okay, fine, we'll fly you out of Lebanon.

Are we not merciful? But that one guy, because he was powerful enough to get media attention. But the rest of you, remember guys, Travelocity is still in business. I don't even know if they are. And so good luck to you. We will not pay for your flights out, but we will pay for the bombs that might kill you and your family. And what did they do after October 7th with Americans that were in Israel? Not only did we pay for their flights, we didn't just, we sent planes and ships to go.

get them, which is infinitely more expensive. That is incredibly expensive, but to be fair, they were precious Israeli lives, not like totally cheap, useless, worthless Muslim American lives or Christian American lives that are Arabs or some other country like that, that doesn't even donate sufficiently to American politicians. Who could possibly care about American citizens that haven't even bribed Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. We have victims of the campfire in California from 2018 who are still homeless. We have victims of the fires in Maui who are still homeless.

We have the most recent victims of a natural disaster in North Carolina. North Carolina, of course, was hit the hardest by Hurricane Helene. What kind of help are they gonna get? I mean, if recent history is any indication, they're not gonna get much help at all. Yeah, and look, guys. I just, I can't, Jank, like, I am so utterly disgusted by our government. Like, I'm at a loss for words. It is much worse than even I knew, okay?

The disregard for our lives, for our well-being, they just expect us to be an ATM for their war machine. That is it. Yeah, wolf-dash-pack.com. Why do I say that? I started a group to get money to politics a dozen years ago. Why? Because I came to the conclusion, and I told you guys back then, and I've been telling you ever since, money in politics is everything. It's not, oh, that's an important issue or, oh, that's the number one issue. No, that's the only issue.

Because every other issue is decided by who gives more money. And this is like a spectacular example of it, because there's American lives on the line. And they're saying, as long as you didn't donate enough to our politicians, America's citizens are worthless. But that people who support Israel have donated hundreds of millions of dollars to politicians. So their lives are worth everything, everything. Those are the things that must be protected at all costs. Again, I give the case of health care. 68,000 Americans die every year because they don't have health insurance.

And the American government goes, who cares about those stupid Americans? Did they give me money? No. Did the health care insurance companies that rob you blind give me money? Yeah, they gave me billions of dollars. So you go ahead and die because I'm taking donor money. And guys, look, if you're a Republican or a Democrat, your party does that. So does the other party.

But don't, you're utterly deluded if you think the other party is evil. And my side is angels. When they take the money, they don't care about the money at all. They care about me. That's not remotely true. It's never been true. These people, the politicians in this country are the worst people in the whole. country. They're not the best of us. They're the absolute bottom of the barrel, worst of us.

Look, at this point, I mean, we're not going to get money out of politics anytime soon, okay? I know that you're very focused on that, but it's a difficult thing to accomplish. There needs to be another answer in the short term. And I don't know if it's the formation of a group that doesn't represent any particular country, but serves to just to, just counteract some of the damage done by APAC. There's gotta be something. No, look, there's only two solutions and they're very, very difficult to involve a lot of pain and there is no short-term answer at all.

One, the Arab countries can start doing what Israel is doing, which is just find a way to funnel money to American citizens that are from their country originally or their lineage or their family is and just say, hey, I got a contract in Lebanon. And the Lebanese government gave me a billion dollars for that contract. I'm now going to spend 200 million of it bribing American politicians. I mean, hey, exercising my freedom of speech. Exactly. Right?

So I don't mean to do a how to manual, but that's APAC, it doesn't have to come from Israel. It's people who support Israel that are, they are American citizens, right? So like, but they get to do it. Other American citizens get to do it. I don't know how people get their money. I don't know how the folks who donated to APAC got their money. I don't want to know, right? And that's not my business. I, you know, so same thing for Lebanese or Saudis or whoever it is, because there's an open auction. So now if you're not

bidding to save the lives of your particular ethnicity, the American government will kill that ethnicity for the ethnicity that just, that just bribe them. That bribed them more, right? So soon, look, it doesn't, I don't have, this is obvious to the other governments. They're beginning to figure this out. And that's why Azerbaijan, Turkey, Egypt's bribing. local government officials a little bit here and there. They're beginning to understand, oh, it's an auction in America. Let's just go buy them. They're just doing it illegally.

Yeah, that's illegal because they're dumb. The UAE and Saudis are more sophisticated. They bought the think tanks. They bought a lot of different things, different ways to influence. They gave Donald Trump's son-in-law $2 billion after goodies that he delivered, et cetera. They give the money to the think tanks and the think tank scholars tell you how great the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

is they bought Washington through that method, and eventually they'll figure out the other part two, and they're in the middle of figuring it out. And then, by the way, people will be outraged. Can you believe? Just name a random country, right? Kazakhstan, now we're sending $20 billion, $200 billion to Kazakhstan. Yeah, I can believe that in a second. All they got to do is put a couple hundred million dollars into American elections, and they'll get billions, maybe even trillions out. So number one, that's one way to end Israel's dominant. is to outbribe them.

Okay, I'm giving you the most real advice there is in the world, okay? Maybe it's time for you to form a new super pack, Jane. No, I don't want any part of that. I hate it. I hate it. I mean, I hate the formation of the super PACs, but this one I can maybe get behind. Okay, and then the last possibility is that Israel does start the war with Iran, and it becomes a giant war.

Right now, they're bombing Syria, Lebanon, Yemen. They've done assassinations in Iran, and obviously they've leveled an occupied territories. So that war can get large enough and that we could spend trillions. And then if you say trillions, come on, Jake, we spent over two trillion in Iraq, Iran's four times the size of Iraq. So after America has lost however many thousands of lives or service members, et cetera, and we've lost a couple of trillion dollars. My guess is the left wing has never mattered, guys. We just don't have enough money in power. They're never, ever going to listen to us. But at some point, the right wing's going to get mad.

And when the right wing gets mad, then Israel's going to have a trouble for the first time in its history here in America. And the right wing continues to get angrier and angrier about all the money we're shoveling to them instead of taking care of our own citizens. So Israel and Netanyahu is playing with fire, but they don't realize it. And their infinite arrogance. And if America pulled out and said, hey, good luck to you, Israel. Israel would be so outraged because they feel a sense of entitlement.

You owe us. In one of the stories we're about to get to, Netanyahu was furious, the Washington Post reported, that Biden was slow walking some of the money to them and the weapons. So we gave them $26 billion, on top of the $4 billion we normally give. And he said, how dare you not get it to me as fast as I want, okay? So that guy, if America cuts it off, will be bewildered. All of Israel will be bewildered. Doesn't America work for us?

Well, I mean, look. How dare they not give us money? But brothers and sisters, especially if you love Israel, that day's coming. And when it does, it's going to rock your world in terms of how you view the world and your entitlement. And so, and then, oh my God, the crying at that point will be spectacular. How? How can you leave us? and not pay for all of our bills.

How will get universal health care for our citizens? There's so much more valuable than your citizens. How will we get paid family leave for our moms who just had babies? There's so much more valuable than your moms who don't have paid family leave. How dare you not fund all of our wars and give us endless blanks, $300 billion? No, no, at some point, the entire country is going to get past mainstream media propaganda that has told you that Israel is a beloved special ally who's as the, they literally call it a moral army as it devastates and it obliterates the Middle East.

And once that propaganda stops to work, then Israel's in a world of trouble. But we're not anywhere near that yet. When we come back, we'll talk a little bit about the juxtaposition between what Biden will tell you to your face and what he's actually saying behind the scenes when he's talking to his staffers and aides. We'll be right back. are who we are, and you allow us to do this show and try to bring some positive change in the world together, and we appreciate you deeply. Anna.

Joe Biden lies to you, especially when it comes to this ongoing war in the Middle East. At my direction, the United States military actively supported the defense of Israel. Make no mistake, the United States is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel. It's messages like those and the endless bombs that the United States is willing to fund on behalf of Israel that basically persuades Israel to continue escalating the war in the Middle East. And what's interesting is, while you hear Biden say over and over again that he wants a ceasefire, that he's working really hard for a ceasefire. Fact of the matter is behind the scenes, he's saying something entirely different, and that's according to some new reporting from Politico and the Washington Post. Now, these exposés in Politico and Washington Post make it clear than ever how little the Israeli government has really given a crap about what the United States has to say about their

escalations in the Middle East. Yet we keep sending them weapons and now our own troops to help them carry out this broader regional war. For months, Netanyahu and his government have consistently ignored American counsel as to how to prosecute the war in Gaza against Hamas after the October 7th terror attacks. Biden and his aides were repeatedly frustrated by Israel's widening war aims within Gaza with a devastating impact on Palestinian civilians, even at the cost of a deal to free the remaining hostages. Now, Biden's weakness was pretty evident early on in this war when, for example, he took

a half-hearted stand basically demanding Israel allow aid into Gaza. And about a week after the Hamas attacks, Biden intended to visit Israel, Blinken said. But he was not getting on a plane unless we have humanitarian access opened up. Both sides dug in their heels. Bibi was saying, my politics here won't allow it and get a load of this disgusting statement. They don't want a single aspirin to get into Gaza. The Israeli people want revenge, the official recalled. At least for the first time behind closed doors, he was being honest.

This has nothing to do with trying to get Hamas. Remember, for the first nine months or so ago, they didn't get a single Hamas leader while they slaughter 30, 40,000 Palestinians. It was about revenge. It's always been about revenge. And it's revenge for how dare you resist our 57-year occupation. You should know your role to be enslaved by us in open-air camps. So we need revenge because you didn't know your role.

Let's move on to the best friend of war criminals. A wary looking Anthony Blinken, that's of course the Secretary of State, emerged before dawn the next day to announce to waiting reporters that Biden was coming. Israel and the United States were working on a plan for humanitarian assistance, he said. But there was no announced agreement to immediately open the border. In other words, we got nothing. Yeah. By the way, I mean, Anthony Blinken is the guy who basically lied about the report making it abundantly clear that Israel was blocking aid into Gaza. That's the kind of guy he is.

Because Anthony Blinken is a war criminal. And basically serves Israel instead of America. 100%. Yep. Anyway, as the war went on and Biden sought long-term peace, allegedly, as the Washington Post claims, he was undermined at every turn by Netanyahu's conduct of, the Gaza war, his refusal to consider establishment of a Palestinian state and the territorial ambitions of his right-wing government in the occupied territories, meaning they want to grab the land.

Like, that's part of this agenda. It's not just about finding Hamas and bringing them to justice. It never was. Okay, the October 7th attacks have been used as an excuse in order to carry out what the far-right members of the Israeli government have been wanting to do, which is to steal land. Okay, to level entire capitals, an entire strip of land where the Palestinians are, the Gaza strip. And then eventually, when it's uninhabitable, come and just take the land.

Take the land. They've been doing it illegally in the West Bank with impunity. So they're just going to expand it. It's so disgusting. It's so disgusting. Yeah, please listen to Ezra Klein's podcast with David Remnick, where they explain revisionist Zionism and how Netanyahu's dad wanted to take all the West Bank and Jordan, they think why not, they, their ideas, the Arabs and the Muslims have plenty of land.

Let's just take as much as humanly possible. So the reason I mention that now is, one, you should know because the American media outside of Ezra Klein, assiduously hides that fact from you. And they went to Israel, they're both Jewish Americans, they went to Israel. They love, you know, they support Israel, not what they're doing today, but as a concept, as a country, et cetera, and they realize, oh my God, the politics has totally changed. And so this is, nobody's interested in a two-state solution in Israel. That's not even being discussed, not by even the most liberal politicians in Israel.

The Palestinians have no chance of getting a state. The Israelis don't believe they have a right to exist, and they're trying to take as much of their land as possible. And so I say that to you right now, because as you hear the rest of the story, understand that the biggest conflict is the U.S. keeps saying, hey, you're not getting to peace. We want you to get to peace. But Nanyahu doesn't want to get to peace. He wants to take more land.

So it is an irreconcilable difference. And they're not even to acknowledge that they have this. Not publicly. At least not publicly, right. And so Biden keeps saying like, I don't understand. This is not the path to peace. Yes, idiot. That's because they're not trying to get to peace.

They're trying to get to more territorial conquest. No, Jank, he knows. Like, this is the whole reason why I want to do the story. Biden knows. Biden knows, okay? Biden isn't the benevolent leader who's been taken for a fool by Israel. He knows, he knows. Here's where it gets real damning, okay?

These are excerpts from Politico's expose. At his influence, as his influence over Netanyahu shrunk, Biden's anger grew. Phone calls between the two men were increasingly turned into shouting. matches according to one of the officials and one other senior official not authorized to discuss private conversations. Biden told confidants, listen closely guys, that he did not believe his Israeli counterpart wanted a ceasefire deal arguing that Nen Yahoo was trying to perpetuate the conflict to save his political future and assist Trump in November's election. The officials

said, Biden knows. So think about what that means. He knows that this hurts Kamala Harris's chances of getting elected. Doesn't matter, he's not going to cut off the weapons. He's going to keep it flowing. He knows that Netanyahu has no interest in a ceasefire, yet he lied to all of us multiple times with his BS statements about, oh, Israel's agreed to a ceasefire. Israel's agreed to a ceasefire. They're going to sign it. Everything's great. And then, of course, that was all BS. Okay, he knows. He's having these conversations behind the scenes. My point to you is he's not a benevolent leader. Okay, he's not someone who's actually doing everything he can to ensure that there's peace in the Middle East. He continues to funnel the weapons to Israel. Just last week,

they announced an additional $8.2 billion in weapons. 8.7. 8.7. Apologies. Thank you for the clarification. But you know, there's $500 million that could have gone to help Americans. Who cares about Americans? No, we don't have any money. Sorry, we don't have any money for Americans. That's why we can't do paid family leave. We can't do anything that you need because, but that 500 million is just a rounding error. We just forgot and doesn't really matter, 8.2 versus 8.7. But I wanna say something, why are you having shouting matches with Netanyahu? Like if I was giving someone 26 million, let alone 26 billion dollars, I wouldn't need to shout

at all. All I would say is you're gonna do as I tell you, otherwise I'm not sending you the money. What's the complicated part? What do you need to shout for? Instead, he's like, please listen to me. And Netanyahu was like, shut up, you loser, and send the money quicker. Literally, later, there's a quote in there about how Netanyahu was furious that Biden wasn't sending the money quickly enough because he's entitled to all of our money as quickly as he wants it.

Biden is literally a career politician. His entire career for like the last 50 years has been as a politician. And in the end, this is his legacy, getting dog walked by a foreign leader. He's committing war crimes. Woof, woof. All right. So, by the way, the other thing that you should know, especially as America has been struggling to get past inflation and everyone is upset about the economic situation here, Israel's

planning on bombing Iran's oil fields. I've talked about this on the show before this week, and it's important to let you know. already translating to hire, you know, basically ExxonMobil is up in the stock market. I mean, everyone knows. Everyone knows that the price of oil, meaning the price that you pay at the gas pump, the price you pay for goods and services, all of that is going to spike because of this. Yeah. So not only are you funding Israel's war, you're also going to pay a lot more for gas and goods

and services because of the war. So congratulations, you're welcome. Your government working for you. Yeah, so it, see, that's the amazing part, guys. This is how much money in politics controls everything because, so now Biden knows that he's like, this is the U.S. interest, he states it publicly, we want you to do a ceasefire, we want you to send an humanitarian assistance, et cetera, don't do a broader regional war. And then, you know, who slaps him around public, goes, of course I'm not going to listen

to Biden, send me the money. And so we're losing U.S. interests, as stated by Joe Biden, the chance of Donald Trump winning is much higher if there's a big war and gas prices go up right before the election. And Biden's been personally humiliated over and over internationally. But all of that will not move him. Only the money moves him. So as long as the political donations keep coming in from APAC, Biden's like, humiliate me publicly, humiliate America, take all of our money and let Trump win. Trump, it's like Biden says, Trump is a threat to democracy.

We might lose democracy completely. And he's like, oh, APEC sent me money? Yeah, give away American democracy on top. Dude, I don't, you're 81. Like your political career is coming to an end. Yeah, maybe he doesn't know that because he's got dementia. Joe Biden, you're a pathetic, impotent fool. And Politico even said the word impotent.

Yeah, they did. I was impressed that they used that word. All right. So let's move on a little bit. So, look, despite obviously acknowledging what the reality is behind the scenes, Biden has continued to bend the knee to Netanyahu, even as Netanyahu has now engaged in a broader regional war. I want to be clear, we're already at war, guys.

Like, there is no debate or discussion about whether there's going to be a regional war. There's a regional war, okay? And we are very much involved. And so the following, following Israel's attacks in Lebanon and Iran's military response this week, the Biden administration is settling for limiting Israel's response rather than discouraging it entirely, according to two administration officials. While officials in Biden's administration insists that they're really, they're doing everything they can to ease tensions, to quell tensions, to prevent a broader war, which we're already in,

We're still also simultaneously bolstering our military presence in the region in order to provide additional defense for Israel. And yesterday, Biden said that he was not supportive of Israel bombing Iran's nuclear facilities, but today did not rule out hitting their oil fields. Let's take a look. We're in discussion with that. I think I think that would be a little, anyway. Are you saying? Oh my God. All right, Jake, take it away. Yeah, no, he's handing the election to Trump if the gas skyrockets. Like maybe Kamala Harris pulls it out anyway, although we're going to tell you later in the show, she's hanging on by a threat in the swing states by about one point in half the swing states. But Biden's like, let's roll the dice. I don't know, maybe he wants Kamala Harris to lose so he can say, oh, I would have won.

would have won, right? Yeah. Because he's super bitter about it. He really is. He's never let it go. And he doesn't like Kamala Harris. He's never like Kamala Harris. He's super bitter that he's not the candidate.

So maybe he thinks it's a twofer, you know, and that, you know, and maybe Israel will take care of Hunter from now on. Like the Ukrainians were amateurs at this. I wouldn't be surprised if Hunter all of a sudden became an Israeli gas expert, you know, and it's huge artist in Israel. By the way, I don't know who bought Hunter Biden's art at $500,000 a pound. What do you mean? It was such good art. Okay. Totally worth it. All right. Anyway, so and do you think the whole country watches the Young Turks? I wish they did, right? A lot of

people watch this, but definitely not the whole country. Do you think they're going to know in mainstream media why the price of gas went up? Do you think that the undecided voters are going to be like, oh, no, I looked into it. Even though I don't, can't tell who Donald Trump is and Kamala Harris is, and I don't know anything about politics. But I delved into this issue to find out it was actually Netanyahu's fault. No, no, no, it is Netanyahu's fault with Biden, like, clapping for him like a trained seal. But even if it, but you're right, Anna, because even if it was, hey, you dove into the issue, what you would find out is that it was Biden's fault.

And Biden is the Democrat, Democratic president and Kamala Harris is his vice president. So you'd say, oh, the Democrats didn't stand up for us. They made our gas prices higher. They already took money from us, our taxes to give to Israel, start the war. And by the way, the more Israel attacks, the more money we send them. So think about the message that that sends us, that sends Israel. They think, well, when we were just occupying the Palestinians and oppressing them, we were only getting $4 billion a year. But now that we started slaughtering them, we're getting $26 billion. We created a perfect

incentive for Israel to slaughter more Muslims. So they're now going into Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran, And they're saying, oh, guess what they're going to say next? Well, now there's a much bigger war. We need more money. So they're going to take that money. You're going to pay higher prices at the gas pump. You're going to do all of this. And Donald Trump might come back in office.

But don't worry, Joe Biden got campaign donations from AIPAC. So you're good. Over $11 million in bribes just even before this campaign. But mainstream media hasn't figured it out at all. They're like, I, but there's nothing Joe Biden could do. Even in this good articles, interesting articles from Washington Post and Politico, not once in these gigantic articles detailing every little nook and cranny did they mention that Joe Biden has leverage that he could use against Israel. That's the money we're giving them. But everybody in Washington, all the reporters and all the politicians assume we don't have a choice.

That's not even an option. Whatever Israel asked for, we must give it to them. So what else? They're like, he can't do anything. But poor guy, Joe Biden can't do anything because you don't have a choice. As Americans, you must finance Israel. All right. When we come back from the break, we'll talk a little bit about where the two presidential candidates currently stand in the polling. We're going to look at the swing states. In addition to the Arab American vote, there was a fascinating and semi-shocking poll of the American Arab Americans and who they intend to vote for.

Democrats are in trouble, and honestly, they brought it on themselves. We'll be right back. the presidential election and what the polls are currently saying, it is, or at least it should be shocking to the Democratic establishment that despite all of the issues with Donald Trump, this race still appears to be neck and neck. Now, new polling is what we're going to get into, and the new polling suggests that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are deadlocked in literally every single battleground state, meaning this race continues to be an extremely tight one. Now the Cook political report, which does surveys with their swing state project, shows

that Harris pulls between one and three points ahead in five of these swing states, which is easily in the margin of error. And in a sixth state, North Carolina, Harris and Trump were exactly tied. Now Harris leads Trump in Michigan by three percentage points, and she also leads by one or two points in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, where she's actually holding a rally with the Cheney's today, Trump is leading by two percentage points head-to-head in Georgia. But she is, well, let's check it and see if she's doing any better than Biden. According to this particular poll in the May survey that they had done, when President

Joe Biden was still in the race, Trump led in six states and tied in Wisconsin. And so Kamala Harris is, in fact, according to this poll, performing better than Biden was. And so that's good news, but it's not good news when you consider how tight this race is. And every, you know, every strategy that we've seen from Democrats to hurt Trump and help get Kamala Harris elected doesn't really seem to be working. You know, Jank did a live video yesterday on the special counsel's indictment into Donald Trump. They unsealed that indictment, and now we have additional details about what Trump is accused of doing in order to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. I don't know if that's even going to make a dent at this point, but it just seems like nothing's working. And I think Democrats need to look inward and figure out what is it about our party that makes voters not trust us, not want to vote for us, and consider someone like Donald Trump instead.

Yeah, so a great point. I mean, look, I'm both mystified by this and totally get it at the same time. But we at least know the base of knowledge and you know the base of knowledge as to why these phenomena are happening. People in mainstream media have no idea and they're constantly like, I don't understand. And it's because the American people don't like the establishment. They don't like the powerful, they feel like they're being oppressed by big business, big government, etc. That's not a hard concept to understand because it's in every single poll. But they read those polls and can't see them. They're blinded by their own bias because they're in the establishment.

It's like the Israelis can't see that they're the ones that just killed 41,000 people in Gaza, that they are the much more powerful force and they have a right to. exist, they are existing and the Palestinians have no right to exist because of Israel, but they can't see any of that, even though it's obvious to the rest of the world, because they're blinded by their bias. Democrats couldn't see that Joe Biden was too old. That's amazing, right? They just can't see reality.

Now, the part that I'm mystified bias, I mean, two things, there's a billion things about Trump that's wrong, right? Well, we do Trump brackets.com. where there was we had hundreds of submissions 64 gigantic ones etc but there's two things that stand out so much after he lost the election not only did he do a fake elector scheme to organize a coup against America but he said it he said we should terminate the constitution all rules regulations and articles in the constitution should be terminated so that trump could be president okay and then And the second thing is, now this new motion shows a second source saying, hey, Mr.

President, they're trying to kill your vice president. Mike Pence's life is in danger because your fans are trying to kill him. And he said, quote, so what? And he told Mark Meadows, I think he deserves it. So you know, it isn't, it is incredible because you would think that news like that and details like that would change the minds of all. lot of voters who currently support Donald Trump. But you also have to think about what is impacting Americans day to day, right? So when you think about protecting democracy, I think

for a lot of people, you know, they might think, well, the media is being hyperbolic about this. Remember, there's a lack of trust toward the media. So the source where the information is coming from might not be a source that they trust. But also think about what Americans are affected by day to day. And that's what their priorities are going to be when it comes to choosing the politician that they want to represent them in their interests. And look, I made this point yesterday, but I'm going to make it again because I was listening to some news about Donald Trump's speeches and recent rallies. And look, one thing that's clear about Trump is he's simplistic in what he says and he's repetitive. And so when he keeps repeating

in every single rally, no tax. on tips, no tax on tips, no tax on tips. In an economy, which is essentially a service economy where the majority of workers work in the service industry, that is a big deal. And when you look at Kamala Harris, you know, she has put out some statements about what her agenda would be, what kind of policy she would pursue, but it's not as simplistic. It's a lot more nebulous, if that makes any sense. And it's hard for people to take it and kind of think about how it would be applied to their personal life and how it would improve their personal life. You get what I'm saying? Of course. Look, there's a hundred ways to be a populace that are so

easy. I mean, when you talk about housing, her plans on housing aren't bad. But if she went on the stump and said, this is exactly our private equity, buys up your houses and then turns you into renters and steals the value of your homes from you, she would be the most popular politician in America by a landslide, right? But private equity funds her campaign. They fund Trump's campaign. So they've neutralized both candidates and that are not telling you the real story. And you know, look, I don't want you to get a wrong marriage. Donald Trump, obviously a fake populist. Is he going to get rid of taxes on tips? There's no chance he's going to do that. Instead, he's going to cut the corporate tax rate one more time from 21% down

to 15. So, but at least he's faking it. Whereas the other side, they did it for like a minute, Tim Wall's populist agenda, and then the Biden team took back over. No, interviews, they started renouncing some of their populist policies, and they went back into corporate mode. So that's why they can't beat someone who's an obvious monster and that they should be landsliding. Guys, last thing on how Trump's so easy to beat. Like imagine if the same exact scenario is Trump with the same exact sourcing, right?

But it's about Barack Obama and how he thought his fans should murder Joe Biden. what do you think would have happened? That would be the largest story of our lifetimes. Everybody knows that, right? Imagine if Biden's chief of staff goes to him and says, sir, your fans, they think you're young and dynamic. They're really upset that Kamala Harris might replace you. They're trying to murder her.

They're chanting, hang Kamala Harris, hang Kamala Harris. And Biden said she deserves it. the largest story of all of our lifetimes, times 10, and everybody knows it. Same exact thing with Donald Trump, barely a blip. And by the way, the Democrats barely mention it. I know. Wait, wait, hold on. Mention what?

That he didn't mind his vice president being murdered. Like, that's not a thing they talk about often at all. They mentioned January 60s. Yeah, they talk about he's a threat to democracy. But okay, fair. But I don't know how much that's going to move the needle, to be honest with you. Well, I mean, no, but that's the insanity of it, guys. That's insane.

Look, I get it. MAGA doesn't believe anything. I'm not talking about MAGA. And in fact, I told you this before. In social media, I put out this story that's indisputable. And you know what? They didn't dispute it. Half of them were like, yeah, we don't mind.

We don't mind if Mike Pence was murdered. Because that would, because then Donald Trump would be president. Okay, there's nothing you could do about MAGA. But there's tons of independents who would not vote for anyone who wanted their vice president murdered. Okay. because that is that's beyond insane and then the termination he said I want to terminate the Constitution what's complicated about that if Obama or Biden has said I want to terminate I mean Tim Walls misspoke by an inch and instead of saying

I'm friends with the families of the victims of the shooters he left out victims and they go ballistic over the most obvious miss speaking of all time right Imagine if Tim Walzer, Kamala Harris said we should terminate the Constitution. The right wing and the mainstream media would all say, no, it's the race is over. The race is over. Donald Trump is president. But Trump says it, and everybody's like, that's totally fine. It's not fine.

It's not fine. I agree with you that it's not fine. And as I've said repeatedly on this show, Donald Trump should be held accountable. And I hope that the special counsel's case against him moves forward some way or another, because what he did was wrong, I do value our democracy. it is also a problem, guys, when our government makes a mockery of our democracy. And what I mean by that is we have now gone on for several decades where the needs of the electorate are not met. And when you have a democratic process that's supposed to elect

individuals who serve you and your best interests, who seek to take care of the American people and they fail to do so again and again and again, people increasingly stop caring about our precious democracy. I think that is a wrong way to approach it. I think that we need reforms in our system of government that ensures that our elected lawmakers actually serve our best interests rather than take bribes and serve the best interests of the corporate elite and foreign leaders, but I'm just thinking about what is being communicated to the electorate overall and what has been communicated to the electorate overall, not just for a few years, not just over, you know, the years that Donald Trump has been on the political scene, but for literally

decades, literally decades. A new poll that specifically looks into the Arab American vote has some pretty shocking results, especially when you look at how the poll was represented in previous election cycles. So apparently, according to this poll that was done by the Arab American Institute, they found that Trump actually leads Kamala Harris by one point. Let's take a look at the graphic. Among those that they polled, 42% say that they plan to vote for Trump. 41% say that they plan to vote for Kamala Harris. But the numbers are actually worse when you specifically focus on likely voters. Okay, because when you look at likely voters, Trump leads Harris 46% to 42%. Only 79% of Democrats

support Harris, while 89% of Republicans support Trump. And if you want to get a sense of how devastating this really is, well, in previous polls done by the same organization in partnership with Zogby, they found that the Democratic candidate typically beat the Republican candidate two to one. And now they're losing. So this is when Democratic officials go on TV and yell at Arab Americans. Don't you know what's at stake? You owe the Democratic Party your vote.

Well, the Democratic Party was in charge when their family members were killed, and we paid for it. So if Joe Biden paid for the bombs that killed your sister, do you think you really owe his party a vote? The level of obnoxiousness and entitlement in that is stunning. So I know that Trump is worse for Arab Americans and for Muslims. He's clarified it a thousand times. He thought Muslims shouldn't even be allowed to enter the country. When he first ran, he proudly declared that there should be a total and complete ban on Muslims. No one's unaware of that.

We know he's funded by Sheldon and Miriam Aedleson throughout his career, and we know that he's going to serve that. I know all that. Nevertheless, I am never going to criticize an Arab American, especially if their family members are killed by the Biden administration's funding for not voting for Biden and Harris. You'd have to be a special kind of monster to not understand that concept and blame them instead of your own actions. So look, the results of this poll definitely unusual. Since we began, and this is a statement from their organization Arab American Institute, since we first began polling Arab Americans 30 years ago, the community has consistently favored the Democratic Party with the margin of that support holding steady at nearly 2 to 1 for the past decade.

and a half. Now, what's going on? Well, it has to do with the Biden administration. The Biden administration's handling of the crisis in Gaza, however, has eroded that support resulting in Arab Americans now evenly divided between the two parties. So 38% for each. And by the way, this is also impacting who Arab Americans want in Congress. And so according to the poll, Arab Americans would rather see Congress controlled by Republicans rather than Democrats. Democrats, and by a slight margin of 46% to 43% voters in the community say they would prefer to see the Republicans control the next Congress. Now, just over eight out of every 10 Arab Americans, 81%, to be exact, view Gaza as important

in determining their vote. But it's not the top issue, which is really interesting. 26% rated the crisis in Gaza as their most important issue. But that comes in second overall behind jobs and the economy. Yeah. So look, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, his number one donor, ZAPAC, him and every single Republican leader says that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are wrong on Israel. They say they have not been sufficiently loyal to Israel.

And so when Biden once delayed weapons for a couple of days, all over Republicans yelled at them in their fury. How dare you defy Israel? Israel first, America second, and they were super mad at them. So you give Congress to the Republicans, it's only going to make it worse. Because they proudly declared you can look up all of their quotes, okay? I understand that. Having said that, when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the entire Democratic Party prioritize APEC money over Arab votes, they shouldn't be surprised when they lose Arab votes. And I don't know how many typically loyal democratic voters they can lose and still expect to win presidential election. So what do I mean by that?

Look, I understand if you don't like this reality, but this is the reality. Donald Trump has somehow managed to increase his support among the following groups. Union members and working class Americans, especially those without a college degree, black voters, Latino voters, Arab American voters. Maybe it's time to look inward, Democrats. They'll never going to do it. So they're just going to keep losing and losing and constantly being bewildered. The number one advantage Donald Trump has by a landslide, all, everything else combined doesn't matter. Number one advantage he has is that the establishment attacks him.

When the establishment attacks him, he has the perception of being anti-establishment. The reality is he's been part of the establishment and wanted to be part of their inner club his whole life. He keeps telling stories about how he would go to parties with rich people, but sometimes he'd feel a little excluded and he always wanted to be at the center of it. He's always been kissing up to Steve Wynn and other super rich people, constantly doing favors for the rich or for the donors, etc. But the Democrats give him this gift of appearing anti-establishment and populist because they feel. fight him so hard. I don't mean the Democratic Party. I mean all of the establishment. And why do they fight him so hard? Is it because he's an actual populist? Absolutely not. Because they think our job is to suck all the money out of the American people and give it to the

oligarchy that paid us. And Trump thinks, no, suck all the money out of the American people and give it to me, my family, and my allies. And that's it. So that's why they're mad at him for being selfish. But they've given them the most ironic gift of all time. appearing to be anti-establishment. But by the way, this stuff that we just told you, for a lot of you, it'll seem clear. You'll be like, oh, I totally get it, right? If I say this in Washington and I have, they look at me like I got two heads. They think I'm the craziest person in America.

Look, ridiculous. No way. And so, okay, keep ignoring it. And you're losing, you're tied at this point within the margin of error in almost all the swing states, with a guy who thought it was okay to murder his vice president and terminate the constitution. You're losing to that clown, narcissist, madman, because you don't see how much the American people despise the establishment. All right, we've got to take a break. We'll be back with hour two. Don't miss it.
