The Young Turks - Epstein Associate Revealed - May 8, 2026

Episode Date: May 9, 2026

Megyn Kelly says Donald Trump has lost all credibility on Iran and admitted, “I don’t trust a word,” as divisions on the right deepen over the administration’s shifting war narrative. Republicans also scored a major victory in the fight for control of the House after a Virginia court ruling boosted GOP election efforts, while federal and state officials are reportedly discussing shutting down Florida’s so-called “Alligator Alcatraz.” Thanks to today's sponsors: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at shopify.com/tyt Get 40% OFF the Ground News Vantage Plan when you sign up at ground.news/tyt Stay informed without the media spin at ground.news/tyt Go to cookunity.com/tyt or enter code TYT before checkout to get 50% off your first order.

Turks, Jake Huger, here with you guys. So we've got an amazing show for you, two hours jam-packed with news. So the latest on Iran, the state of the war or love taps, as Donald Trump would call it, The ADL and forces of supporting Israel doing incredibly infuriating things. Now if you say this phrase, they considered anti-Semitic and you could be sanctioned for

it. The phrase is free America. That makes you an anti-Semite if you say free America. If you question Charlie Kirk investigation, anti-Semite, wait, why? What does Israel have to do with Charlie Kirk? Oops, you just told on yourself. Okay, anyways, that's later in the program, and there's no end to it. So just devastating set of consequences.

And then politically, in America, devastating consequences and actions because of redistricting. Redistricting, of course, is a method to steal your freedoms and rights away, the gerrymandering, so that you don't get to pick your politicians. your politicians pick their own voters so they can't be defeated. I despise it on both the Republican and Democratic sides. And it's one of many things that the powerful do to screw us over and steal our rights, steal our power, steal our democracy, and use it to benefit their super wealthy friends and donors. All right, now speaking of which, we're gonna start with a really interesting interview and topic for you guys.

Tarapal-Merry is gonna join us. She's got a great substack where the red letter where she is, She has written a lot about Epstein and covered it from day one. And now she's got a breaking news about John Kerry, the former Democratic presidential candidate and the Secretary of State and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, let alone all the other Democrats, let alone foreign diplomats, a lot of names you might not have heard before. So Tara, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me, Jen. It's always a pleasure.

No problem. So tell us about John Kerry and Jeffrey Epstein's connections. Well, it's something that I learned about actually in 2019 through Virginia Jufre. She is one of the most prominent survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. As you may know, she has accused Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, Senator George Mitchell, Governor Bill Richardson, Ehud Barak, the former Prime Minister of Israel, a whole number of men. The list is shocking, frankly. And she told me that while she was basically,

enslaved by Jeffrey Epstein. She was a minor and she was in his sex trafficking operation that she encountered, she met John Kerry. And I found that to be very shocking at the time. Because it would have been two years before he ran for president in 2004. And it was just, from what she had told me, you could not be around Jeffrey Epstein and not know what he was up to. I mean, she said even a pizza delivery guy if he went into the house would see pictures of naked girls, young girls all over the place, unmarried man. There was obviously something wrong in this scenario. So, you know, I kept digging into it and trying to figure out what is this Kerry connection? Because obviously we've seen pictures with Bill Clinton.

We know about the Trump connections. But John Kerry had a really, really critical role in our national security apparatuses as Secretary of State. And he did run for president and he was part of the National Security Council under Biden. So he's had a lot of influence in our government over three decades. And what I've found was Epstein over the years really tried to groom leaders at the top of our State Department and national security apparatus. And I think we know what he was trying to do in terms of influence, right?

I do want to get back to Kerry and his place in Epstein's world. In 2019, Carrie's spokesperson said that he did not know Jeffrey Epstein personally. Now we have a picture that shows Carrie inside the home of Jeffrey Epstein with his two housekeepers. We also have sworn testimony from Jeffrey Epstein's former ship. who said that when he cooked for Epstein on the plane, the Lolita Express, he recalled seeing John Kerry. This was taken in 2006.

So this wasn't like taken 20 years later and maybe fuzzy. This is a sworn testimony 302. We have survivors saying that Epstein would talk about how he was friends with Kerry. There's obviously, you know, some donations, nothing major. So we have to come to wonder like what was Carrie getting from this, right? But then when you keep digging into the files, you see that Epstein was really tracking Kerry closely when he was Secretary of State in the Iran deal. And when he was Secretary of State, and then were people asked for access to carry through

Epstein and Kerry offered access. And sorry, and Epstein offered access to carry to people. People like Steve Bannon as late as 2018 when he was Trump's advisor to that disgraced Norwegian diplomat Terry Rod Larson. We can talk about him too. Sadly, his son killed himself yesterday as he's in the middle of an investigation in Norway for corruption tied to Jeffrey Epstein. He was one of the main architects of the Oslo Accords, which we can get into if you'd like to as well. And that disgraced Emirati shipping tycoon, the Sultan Ahmed bin Sulaman. He asked to see Kerry through Epstein. And And there is just this web where you see Epstein's world colliding with Kerry. And you also see him actively trying to court Bill Burns. And Bill Burns was Kerry's deputy secretary of state. And as you know, State Department and CIA are very closely intertwined.

A lot of diplomats, they run sources and assets for the CIA out of the embassies. And Bill Burns went on to be the CIA director under John. Biden, he had three decades of service and Epstein is connecting him to Peter Thiel. Epstein is talking about having a dinner at his house with Bill Burns, Ehud Barak, this Norwegian diplomatary Rod Larson who was getting him visas for Russian girls and borrowing money for him. And and yeah, it's just I mean, there are other and yeah, and there are other people at the table. So as you can see, he was cultivating all of these relationships with the top of our national security apparatus. And he took this long bet on Kerry. He really had these like wild schemes in

which Kerry would come back into national prominence as late as 2016 that like Hillary would get indicted and that Kerry would drop into the race late because he had money and had won more states than Biden. Yeah. So I want to talk about that too because that's such a interesting fact that's uncovered here. Okay, so I care most about why Epstein is targeting our leaders. I think the answer is super obvious unless you work in mainstream media and you've never heard of journalism. But we'll come back to that in a second and we'll come back to the powerful people in a second.

But first on John Kerry, just to be clear, there's nothing connecting him to the sex yet, but he is connected to being at Epstein's house, knowing Epstein in ways that we did not know before. Is that right? Yeah, I would say so. I mean, we certainly did not have that sworn testimony before the files came out. All we had was the word of John Kerry. And we didn't have these emails where Epstein is offering access to John Kerry. And in the text messages with Steve Bannon, he's like, oh, Kerry's going to be in town

next weekend, do you want to meet him? Then he says, oh, he won't be in town, but I can introduce you to Bill Burns instead. And now I asked Kerry's team about it. And they say he wasn't in Washington at all in 2000. It's just the most absurd statement to make. Yeah, that would be so weird if people in power were lying and lying about their connections to Epstein. I mean, it's not like Howard Wynick or anyone else would do that.

Yeah, suddenly he was on the island too. And you know what's the crazy thing is? It's like Bill Burns was invited to the island too. He and his wife and he said he wished she could go, but then he had to change plans to actually work at the State Department. And this is after when Epstein was a sex offender. So he's asking for career connections. Yeah, so I have a different theory on what might have motivated John Kerry.

So obviously if he was involved in the sex, then he owns Epstein. And so Epstein can set up these connections and meetings with John Kerry and his deputy, if Kerry owes Epstein, right? But that's not the only potential theory, and we don't know that yet. We don't have the information connecting him to the sex yet. But part of that theory goes to the overall picture. So let me go back to the powerful men. So it's, there's two things that are amazing about it.

These are some of the top people in American politics. George Mitchell was a huge figure in the Senate and in administrations afterwards in the Democratic party. Bill Richardson was constantly talked about running for president. And by the way, at the time, I used to hear all the time, the only problem with Bill Richardson is his sex life. Like everyone knew, everyone knew, but nobody would. was allowed to report on it, right?

And so that's already super strange. And then- Along with a number of other people that spent time around Jeffrey Epstein that were politicians. Yeah. They had this reputations. Yeah, it's funny how they all, the ones that hung out with Epstein, everyone halfway kind of knew that they had sexual issues. But the American people are not allowed to know it, only the people in power know it

and use it for their own purposes. I mean, Ahud Barak's former Prime Minister of Israel, his connections to Epstein are probably greater than any other individual through the UC and the Epstein files. And our entire national press has ignored it. Like, oh, no big deal, yeah, of course. The former national, former prime minister of Israel being involved in this massive sex scandal where- Saying his apartments on the Upper East side with his wife. I mean- No big deal.

Yeah, it's not no big deal. That's this huge deal for any world leader, which then brings me back to why they're doing this. So Tara, like what jumps out here is for any rational, normal person with common sense. You don't need to be a reporter at all. You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes. You think this guy's Epstein is clearly trying to accumulate power. He's trying to get close to the most powerful people on earth. And I don't think it's a hobby.

I don't think he's gonna then use it like to impress people on the botchy court or pickleball court or whatever. I know and I always think it's funny that people pass it off that way. Oh, he just like to play up his contacts. It's like, no, no, no, no, no. This wasn't just like sport for him. He, yes, he liked to use, he used to like he liked to move around powerful people like chess pieces because it served him. Yeah. So, so the obvious conclusion appears to be, and certainly obvious enough that you could, that there should be a massive line of questioning in this direction is, was he serving as state actor? Here's a guy who was involved in the Iran-Contra affair.

There were no civilians involved in the Iran-Contra affair, leading you to believe that he's the intelligence. Here's his deep relationship with a guy who wound up being the head of the CIA, Bill Burns. Why is, why do American and Norwegian and UAE and all of these other countries have these deep ties to this what's supposed to be a random private citizen in South Florida? I mean, so I guess that question, that part is so obvious that it begs the question of, why doesn't national media care about one of the most, like I'm not saying they don't care about the story at all.

I'm saying they don't seem to show any interest in the most interesting part of the story, which is why is he accumulating this power? And how does he know every single leader in America and in the world seemingly? I want to hit just three points there because first I do want to say that in 2008, Epstein's lawyers put it in a freedom of information request, okay, to the CIA and to the National Security Agency, the NSA, asking for proof of affiliation to prove that Epstein was affiliated with those two agencies, just to be clear. Well, you say that again.

What does that mean, Tara? They wanted to have some sort of proof that Epstein was affiliated with the CIA. and the NSA. Who wanted that proof? Who wanted that proof? Exxine's lawyers. They wanted that proof. That's so interesting because, you know, Dershowitz says, well, when I was defending him,

if I thought he was part of intelligence, like Mossad, that would have been easy to get him off. First of all, is that right? Like, can Mossad agents come and rape our girls here? And then it's easy to get them off if Dershowitz is right. But second of all, well, it turns out what you're saying, and I honestly, I, I don't know, didn't know that part is that his lawyers did try to use that, that he was involved maybe with the CIA to get him off. Exactly. I don't believe he only worked for one government. Like I believe he worked for, he was like almost a spy for hire. And he started helping the US

government. I think he's a whitey bulger type. Like in I think, you know, he was a part of one of the largest Ponzi schemes in our country, in history. It was the $300 million financial tower scheme. It happened in the early 90s with Stephen Hoffenberg. His partner, Stephen Hoffenberg, went to jail for the rest of his life. Jeffrey Epstein did not because he turned on him and worked with the feds. He worked with the feds again on Bear Stearns. I think Jeffrey Epstein traded on secrets. And how do you get secrets, Compromont? Yeah. So, okay, our national media is a national embarrassment. Like, that's not interesting? No, no, no. I do want to go into that. I agree. And I agree that it that they have missed the story in so many ways. It's like they,

they they're even this like if you actually talk to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and you ask them about the men that were around them, they would understand the story. If you believed them, you would know. I mean, Virginia was the one who told me about this. She was the one who literally tipped me off to look into this close relationship. And they don't. And they don't state the affiliations. They don't state the obvious glaring issues, although I will give them credit for calling a suicide note, a purported suicide note. That's the New York Times. Because obviously, we can't trust anything coming out of the Justice Department when they're holding on to 2.5 million files for either to protect survivors, which I don't believe because they didn't redact

their names. They redacted the name of a Sultan that, you know, Epstein was going to hook up with Kerry, who love torture videos. But they don't, they can't, you know, They can't react, redact a survivor's name, but they're national security documents. And so why are 2.5 million files related to national security and Jeffrey Epstein? So that's a whole other story. But the media, I mean, what's kind of upsetting about this story is I've always just seen it as a political cudgel. People use it as a weapon, however it suits them. The liberal media did not think it was useful back in, 2019 when the story broke. You guys were covering it. I remember that because you had me on your show when I did the broken Jeffrey Epstein podcast and I traveled around the country trying to find

witnesses to corroborate Virginia's abuse. But they just didn't really care, right? It didn't have a purpose for them. And so they were only interested as much as there was a financial aspect to it, but they wouldn't get into the national security concerns, which were obviously glaring considering the people he was spending time with, right? And that was before we even saw the full scope of the files and who he was supporting and the people he was close to and the actions that were so obvious like old school honeypot compromise KGB style frankly information gathering. You see in the files that his pilot tells him, I got these cameras, they're so small, I can

put them in the Kleenex boxes so no one can see them. And we know that they're sitting on 40 gigabytes of files. Yeah. What could 40 gigabytes be other than video, right? So we've only seen 300 megabytes. We've seen 1% of the Epstein files. Yeah, no, you can't say, there's no question. You can't say that we can't show you the information because it was a national security issue and then tell us it's not a national security issue. You can't have it both ways. Obviously, he was involved in national security. Obviously he was intelligence. Anyone's saying otherwise is a giant liar and why they're lying is super interesting.

But look, I'll add one thing to this, I know we're running short on time, that information I know. You mentioned 2016 and John Kerry. I talked to people back then, was super high in the Democratic Party, who told me that if Hillary Clinton ran into trouble that one of the people they were considering replacing her with was John Kerry. So that's why Epstein and whoever he works for was deeply interested in John Kerry. Here's a guy who ran for president earlier, okay, if he's the president of the United States,

then whoever Epstein's working for can easily control the president of the United States if he's connected, right? If he runs again in 2016, then you have the president of the United States in your back pocket. Here's why, yeah, there's no question there's crossover from the CIA, because you can tell him in the Iran-Contra affair, right? So that he's working with the CIA there. But is he exclusively working for the CIA? No.

The CIA doesn't need to control the US president. The US president is already in charge. I mean, that's our government, right? So that does, it has to be a foreign government trying to control. And so we're not gonna avoid the 800 pound gorilla in the room, that's Israel. Obviously, this is Israel. single business deal he did was in favor of Israel. There's no question about that. That's all over the emails. He also gave to Israeli philanthropy. He was close with Les Wexner. I mean, that was his main

funder. There is so many. He is with Barack who was a personal friend. Robert Maxwell, who is known to be a Mossad agent, gave him a, you know, recommended him to Hank Greenberg to work for them. You know, it goes like, it goes very far back. We don't, the problem is we don't have emails and we don't have the, like the files, they kind of stop before email. We don't know, we don't know him in the 1991 Oslo Accords. Like, what was he doing? Yeah.

You know, Terry Reed Larson was building this. Was he right next to him, breathing down his throat? Because they're best friends, literally best friend. So Tara, that's the last. $10 million, so will. Yeah, so Epsine left 10 million for Larson and his will, the Norwegian diplomat that was running the Oslo Accords. And so Tara, that's my last question.

So look, if you're Israel, the Oslo Accords were everything. So if you could frame it as those no good dirty Palestinians turned down a perfectly wonderful offer from the Israelis when you actually handed them a terrible offer that you knew they couldn't take. And then you have everyone involved, Bill Clinton, connected to the United. to Epstein, John Kerry connected to Epstein, Terry Rod Larson connected to Epstein. And they all say on Israel's behalf, Israel is right and the Palestinians are wrong, that allows them to continue the occupation.

And so now we're to believe that Epstein's hundreds of connections to Israel, and his supernova focus on the Oslo Accords are a coincidence. Is that what we're supposed to believe?

I mean, Rod Larson was the one that we know for certain has a focus on the, like was the architect of the Ossol Accords. But he and he was trading emails with Epstein almost every single day while Kerry was in Iran. They were trading thoughts and news clippings on his, on everything. he was doing there. So they were both watching it super closely. I, that is what I can speak to based on the files. I don't know if Jeffrey Epstein was present around the time of the Oslo Accords. I wish I did. I just don't have the sourcing to tell you. Yeah, but Tara, he doesn't have to be present. He just has to tell his, you know, Rod Larson, who's randomly, apparently his best friend is the guy who ran the Oslo Accords, that he, he's such a good friend and he left him

$10 million is a thank you gift? Yeah, okay. Yeah, he's being, he's actually being investigated, unlike our, are the leaders of our country. They're not being investigated. Of course, because, you know, credit to Norway, that means they're not completely controlled by Israel, but our government is, in my opinion, obviously, obviously, completely controlled by Israel. That's why we're not allowed to investigate our leaders and their connection to the biggest

pedophile ring in American history. We're not allowed to investigate it and we're not allowed to know it because God forbid we find out that it might be connected to our special ally that has funneled all of our money and all of our troops to that one country the size of Papua New Guinea but the fact that they're massively connected through a potential sex scandal to all of our leaders is not relevant our media says and our politicians say you got to read Tara Palmary's substack it's called the red letter unlike national media and she was all over mainstream media before, I mean, huge history and experience there, but now doing wonderful independent reporting there.

Thank you for joining us, Tara. Really appreciate it. Thank you for support. Appreciate it. Thanks for having. No problem. All right, guys. So by the way, last thing on this, what could John Kerry's motivation be if he wasn't

involved in any of these sexual, you know, going on to say the least? Well, you also want to be close to Epstein, if Epstein is the source of power, why would he be the source of power? If he's representing Israel, there's nothing more powerful America than that. That is why guys like Kerry, even if they weren't doing the sex, would want like, oh, Israel, will you make me president? Will you help me maneuver in 2004 and 2016? Oh, look at that, I'm always at the top of the list.

And when Israel needs a secretary of state, that'll be completely subservient and loyal to them, hey, there's John Kerry again. Hey, it's so funny how the people who are friendly that is, you always wind up at the very, very top. But our media says, don't ask any questions. You stupid Americans, they yell at us on cable news. You're all anti-Semites, if you ask any questions. You should know that you're ruled, and you're not even allowed to say that you're ruled. Well, we are ruled. We're ruled by Israel first, and it is unbearable. Is Epstein connected to Israel, he most definitely is. And that is an empirical fact.

We have seen the emails. Every deal he tries to organize is on behalf of Israel, procuring cyber weapons for Israel, working with the very top Mossad agents. By the way, Robert Maxwell, also the father of Galane Maxwell. They're insulting our intelligence. They're saying, shut up and be ruled and oppressed by Israel. And if you dare try to defend America and its freedom, the supporters of Israel in this country will terrorize you and try to destroy your life.

Well, I'm sick of it. We gotta break our chains from Israel and regain America's freedom. Young Turks. 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 You interpret the Bible. Again, I don't care, but you don't get to take the Bible and tell me, while 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. That's been left on Skate. Ain't a whole lot left. I don't know why they need any more bomb. Let us give you. 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. States government to provide Israel with more offensive weapons will not forgive us. Back on TYT, Jane Hugar and Sharon Reed with you guys. Constant Kaviris, thank you for gifting five memberships on YouTube. Same thing for Scott Esther and Fat Satter.

Rosa Roscoe, thank you for gifting your membership as well. You guys are amazing. I love this community. I love that we do it together. One last one, Gemmali wrote in on t.com as a member. So was Kerry being blackmailed with the behaviors of his associates? Carrie's still alive and can make statements. So thank you for allowing me to give you the update on that.

Roe-Connor is called for John Kerry to be brought in front of the Oversight Committee and to testify. Because there's out of 535 people, there appears to be only one or two congressmen who actually work for a living. Okay, and obviously, Roe-Connor is doing more work than the rest of Congress combined. And I don't think that's an exaggeration. Anyway, Sharon, what do we got next? No exaggeration. And Roe is doing great work. His colleagues should fall in line too.

Let's begin, Jank, with Iran war updates. Strikes erupt between the US and Iran, despite there being a ceasefire agreement between the two countries. Before we get into the specifics, Jank, your two cents. Yeah, so look, we're gonna find out soon enough about whether we're delaying and doing all these stupid things that Sharon's gonna tell you about, the love taps or love tops or We love to have where you murder people, et cetera. But the real question is, is it just delaying for our ground troops to arrive and for our

interceptor missiles to get restocked? Or are we actually ever, ever gonna get to peace? And of course, the most important question will always be, what does Israel think? Because they rule the world and they will make this decision. But go ahead, Sharon. So here are the details, Jenk. The US had carried out attacks on Iran and retaliation to a bombing campaign. Iran leveled at the UAE earlier this week. In a response to that, Iran launched missiles at U.S.

destroyers passing through the Strait of Harmoons. Trump summarized, we'll say, the assault by saying this. Took our three destroyers and we rammed them through some pretty big stuff today and we knocked the hell out of it. The destroyers were in Canada said we were firing back at them a lot stronger than theirs and they knocked the hell out of them. Somebody said, what's your plan? I said, the plan is very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. It cannot have a nuclear bomb. Mr. President, he adopted a more aggressive tone on truth social,

where he said, well, this, three world-class American destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Harmuz under fire. There was no damage done to the three destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the sea quickly and efficiently. Missiles were shot at our destroyers and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave.

A normal country would have allowed these destroyers. to pass, but not Iran. It's not a normal country. They are led by lunatics, and if they had the chance to use a nuclear weapon, they would do it without question. But they'll never have that opportunity. And just like we knock them out again today, we'll knock them out a lot harder and a lot more violently in the future if they don't get their deal signed fast.

It was on to talk about the three destroyers with their wonderful crews. We'll now rejoin our naval blockade, which is. Well, truly a wall of steel, President Donald J. Trump. So despite these escalating tensions, Trump maintains the ceasefire is still in place. In total ABC News, the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran was still intact, despite the attacks. He called the U.S. attack a, quote, love tap. Two countries are continuing with their negotiations. Three Iranian officials, close to the latest round of mediated negotiations telling the New York Times,

the U.S. wants Iran to commit to handing over its stockpile of enriched uranium, close to three nuclear facilities, pause on enriching uranium for 20 years. Iran's counterproposal would have its uranium diluted, sent to a third country, possibly Russia. It would put a pause on its uranium enrichment for 10 to 15 years. But the progress of these negotiations, that remains unclear as the continued fighting undercuts the Trump administration's claims of a ceasefire. Today's secretary of state, Marco Rubio commented on the issue while visiting Iran. He was skeptic. Pope Leo, he visited the Pope. Here's what Marco said.

We should know something today. We're expecting a response from them. And he said, we'll see what the response entails. The hope is it's something that can put us into a serious. process in negotiations. However, Marco Rubio also added this. We've seen a report overnight that Iran has established or trying to establish some agency that's going to control traffic in the straits.

That would be a problem. That would actually be unacceptable. So the messaging around this conflict is, well, not only confusing us, but it appears it's, well, it appears to confound former and current Trump loyalists, as made evident by a recent podcast with Megan Kelly and Tucker Carlson. where he said this. I mean, I hope the possibility of ending it is real. I notice that every time Axios announces an imminent end to the war,

a lot of people make huge bets on oil futures right before it comes out and presumably make a lot of money on that. And then it never happens. It's my hope that the United States gets out as soon as possible. There will be damage. There already is damage. A lot of people have died. Twelve countries have been bombed.

Many thousands have been killed. The U.S. economy has been hurt. Lots of countries' economies are wounded by this. So Megan Kelly agreed with Tucker about a skepticism on the conflict ending, and here's what she had to say. The priorities are definitely not on the pocketbooks of the American people, and they know it. But wait, I want to get back to what the pressure that they're putting on Trump not to enter into a deal. And I agree with you. I have no idea whether there's a 14-point deal or not.

None whatsoever. I don't trust a word President Trump says about this anymore. He's told us 31 times that the Iran war is over, only to then tweet about how we're going to bomb them into oblivion. Okay, so they even wait in on who in Trump's orbit could be informing his policy and how easily Trump could be bought. Mary Madelson is not irrelevant. Paul Singer is not irrelevant. These are serious. Paulson is not irrelevant. You give Trump $200 million and you get his attention. That's exactly. Nicely put, that's exactly right. Some gifts say, I thought of you.

Offer ends May 10th. Terms apply. I sense they're going to team up and try to get back on cable news. So harsh, but their criticisms of Donald Trump's inability to end the conflict seems justified, as Mediite points out, Trump has repeatedly made contradictory claims about the conflict with Iran, asserting that the U.S. had won the war in March, giving ultimately false timelines for the conflict, and constantly saying that Iran desperately wanted to make a deal as the war continued.

Now, the desire to speculate an end to this conflict is born out of a genuine displeasure with the fact that the war continues to hold the U.S. and global economy hostage with no clear aim and sight. Jenk, what are your thoughts, both on Megan and Tucker teaming up there and seeming to be in lockstep? But overall, this conflict that is just seems completely out of Washington's hands. Yeah, so I'll start with Megan and Tucker. So I don't think they're going back to cable news. They're doing perfectly fine in online media. And they keep talking about how when they were on Fox News, they were basically controlled by the Murdox and the talking points and how they've broken free and they feel liberated. So on the other hand, could they team up for other things?

Yeah, anything is possible, right? And including them, you know, big things. But for the moment being, what they're saying is 100% right on this issue. And so I'm very happy to have them saying things that are true to millions of right wingers in this country and independence. That's actually the first time in my lifetime that right wing media hosts have been telling the truth. Normally they do talking points about, oh, if you give everything to the rich and tax cuts,

and they should pay no taxes and we should have endless wars. So all the liars that I've seen in Fox News and corporate right wing media my whole lifetime to finally have a couple of conservatives telling the truth on super important issues is is amazing to see, wonderful to see. That's my take on it. Okay, now back to the war. So guys, there's a bunch of things we know and some things we don't know. So let me list that for you guys.

So you have a full sense of where we are today. So our destroyers got hit by the Iranians. So we're trying to ram through the blockade. And you could tell in Trump's lies. So he says there wasn't too much damage done. Okay, so there was damage done. No one got hurt, so that means they got hit, but they didn't sustain any casualties. That might not even be true.

But everything he's telling you shows you that the destroyers got hit and they were not able to break the blockade. In fact, we know that. And what's as usual maddening about mainstream media is they write in the middle of their articles, yes, our warships got hit by Iran, but they didn't. don't make that the headline and they don't make a big deal out of it, that's a huge deal. We were not able to break the blockade. That means Iran continues to have leverage and that determines how quickly we might be able

to wrap this up or that we get to a resolution or we don't. We need to know relevant facts, but both our government and our media constantly hide facts from you that are massively relevant. Okay, so our ships got hit, there's no question about that. Number two is, yes, we could not open the Strait of Hormuz. That is also clear. The Iranians say, yeah, we hit him and they turned around. And again, our media has confirmed that they were hit.

And so when Trump says, oh, do we steal right through the brigade? That's not remotely true. Otherwise, we'd be go, they would, the Iranians would have no leverage. We'd be offering them nothing. And we'd be bragging to no end. Ah, the Strait of Hormuz is open, and our warships open, and we crushed Iran. We're not saying that. say the damage wasn't too bad, we didn't lose too many people.

Okay, so we didn't make it. So I just want to be super clear because the rest of the media is wishy-washy horse crap that buries the facts within their articles but doesn't highlight the relevant part for reasons we could talk about another time. So in terms of the ceasefire, is there one or isn't there one? Well, we're bombing each other, so we haven't ceased fire. That's kind of obvious, right? At the same time, it is not at the level that it was before the ceasefire.

So you can call that an all-out war, and this is, and well, we'll come up with a new phrase for it now, an Israeli ceasefire. That means a ceasefire where you don't really, one side doesn't cease fire at all. And that's, of course, Israelis in any given deal, including this deal. They're still bombing the hell out of Lebanon. They murdered dozens of people today. They murder, murder, murder every day in Lebanon. And then they go, oh, no, we're allowed to violate the ceasefire because Hezbo looked at us. And so since I didn't like the way they looked at us, I murdered 32 innocent Lebanese people

today. Okay, I know, that's the Israelis. That's all they ever do. Murder, take land, and do self-defense. And our media comes and goes, oh, we need this war for. I mean, for America, and we're not gonna tell you how badly it's going. And you know what, the poor Israelis, the poor, poor Israelis. No, now we're copying their atrocious behavior like a double tap on a girl's school,

hitting hospitals, et cetera, in Iran, it's disgusting, and now violations of ceasefires endlessly. Okay, number four, Israel, Israeli pundits and Israel, and Israel, First pundits, which is almost all of them, right? There's two layers though, guys. There's the guys who are clearly Israel first, like Mark Levin, Lindsey Graham, both the media and politics that are constantly pushing Israel's agenda. If there's ever a clean president and a clean U.S. government, they should have investigations

on whether they were literally coordinating with the Israelis, which would make them foreign agents and foreign assets. So that is a very worthy investigation since they all have the same talking points and they are all in favor of Israel every single time, where did those talking points come from? So that's group number one. And then the group number two is the rest of mainstream media, which goes, oh, yes, sir, of course, sir, sure sir, we're not going to correct you on anything, sir. Here's John Bolton saying, they're about time of nuke, we need their attack.

Here's Lizzie Graham saying the same thing, and we're not going to tell you that they work for Israel or defense contractors or anything. So that's how the mainstream media collaborates with Israel first pundits and politicians to betray you and to lie to you and to get you to agree to Israel's agenda. But in this case, the question is, is this an audience of one or is this just laying the propaganda groundwork so that Americans could go, oh yeah, or at least 70 year olds that watch Fox News and television and people who still think New York Times is real news, read it and go, oh my God, we should do everything Israel asked for.

That's what the New York Times and CNN is telling me, because they told me, oh, we're about to get nuked, we're about to get nuked, right? So those are zombies, but those zombies vote a lot. And so that might be the reason why Israel first is all over television right now doing this. Or it might be that they're trying to reconvinced Donald Trump, because they try to surround them with only supporters of Israel. And if anyone sneaks by that's not a supporter of Israel, then Laura Lumer comes by and goes, fire him, fire him. Who's this?

Ludicous, lunatic coming in and totally irrelevant with no following whatsoever. But she's allowed to fire people because it's not Laura Lumer. Laura Lumer is representing Israel. So she's coming in and saying, Israel wants this American fired. That one seems to be working for American government and American people. Fire him right away. and I'm gonna find anyone who doesn't work for Israel inside this government and have them fired, so that Trump, if he's not fully controlled by them, is surrounded by only voices say,

Israel's right, do whatever Israel says. And that might, and since Trump only watches television and mainly watches Fox News, that's why they're all on Fox News going, you know, what a great idea would be to restart this war. It would be so easy and no, you'd have no problems with oil or gas or prices, and we'll win easy. We're back to this garbage. So sharing the question there is, are they trying to convince Donald Trump, meaning that Donald Trump is convincible and hence hasn't made up his mind or isn't being blackmailed? And there's hope that he might actually get us out of this war because he's only 90% controlled

by Israel and not 100% controlled, right? That's my great hope, okay? Now I'm not saying that I believe that. I'm hoping against hope that he's only 90% controlled by Israel. The other possibility is no, they're laying the groundwork for general propaganda so that the boomers think that this war is for America. Trump and Israel have already made up their mind and they're going to continue the war. That part I don't know the answer to. What do you think?

I don't either, but even the boomers, grandkids come over sometimes and maybe turn on something else or maybe start a discussion. I think the hope, the only hope perhaps we have left is bad a shape that we're in, is that Iran is supposedly this closed society where they can keep their people in the dark about what's really going on. But here, even with APEC and everything else and the lore lomers and the people were taking money on behalf of Israel to push a certain war monger line, that's one thing. But there's still people like you who we as Americans have access to. So I just wonder how much longer this misinformation blatant.

Just it's like a, you know, up and down, up and down. How much longer are the American people going to sit with that and not revolt? Yeah, and revolt with their viewership, their money, their votes in all these ways. I mean, somebody asked, one of the members asked earlier in the show, what can we do about this obvious, massive control that Israel has over our government? We'll vote out all the bumps. Almost all the incumbents work for Israel. They've all 94% of them have taken contributions for Israel. They will vote with Israel every single time.

I've never seen Israel lose a vote in American Congress. While the losers on television, the liars on television, you sit there and go, oh no, you cannot say Israel controls America. That is anti-Semitic. You are a terrible person. Well, but brother, did they vote for what Israel wants 100% of the time? Yes, they did, but shut up, shut up, don't do the news. Don't do the news.

Don't do the news that people might find out that Israel completely controls this country. That is what the reality is. We've got to break free. First step is take their power away. How do you take their power away by voting out every incumbent who's ever taken any money from Israel or votes to give Israel money today? Today are you insane to give more our money to slaughter innocent children? Obviously you should vote those monsters out.

And yes, brothers and sisters, if you're a Republican, I got really really, you're a Republican. bad news for you. It's about 99% of your party, okay? And if you're a Democrat, I have really bad news for you because a lot of Democrats that watch MSNBC were like, oh, but our guys are angels. No, they're not. They're monsters. Well over 80% of Democrats also work for Israel loyally and have my entire life. I've seen that. And whenever the Democrats are in charge, Israel also gets whatever they want, because they bought almost everyone. And it makes sense, guys, For every dollar they spent on a politician, they get $1,000 back. It's like the greatest robbery in the history of the world.

They're not the only ones. Big pharma does it. Big oil does it. All the lobbyists do it. And then the second dollar you have to spend to protect the $1,000 you're stealing from all of us, is to make sure you buy off the corrupt media, the CNNs in the New York Times, through advertisement, bullying, intimidation, so that they make sure that American people don't realize that they're being robbed. And this Iran war is nothing but a robbery.

We have no interest in Iran. We have no reason to attack Iran. The only people who want this war are Israel and they don't want to pay for it. And they don't want to send their soldiers to die there. So they say, hey, you stupid American suckers, I bought your media and I bought your government. Now go die for Israel and give me another $8 trillion to attack all of my neighbors and pretend it's a global war on terror. So that's the current state of affairs. Every terrible thing that has happened in this war is Israel's fault.

And until we free ourselves from that ridiculous terrorist government, all we're going to have is endless wars and endless robberies on behalf of beloved Israel that mainstream media loves so much and lies so much to protect, let alone our disgusting criminal politicians, young Turks. This is a robbery. Let's go to members on t.wit.com. Our guy says, how could Epstein be so open about what he was, what he was, and nothing was done about? It's staggering corruption, no doubt.

Yeah, that's what happens when you control the government. Oh, hey, I'm going to rape a bunch of underage American girls on behalf of Israel. Oh, yeah, bravo, go for it. Israelis run the government, so you're allowed to do whatever you like. Oh, I did not notice as you were arrested and convicted of child molestation. No one in the government and no one in media noticed. So he got right back on the party circuit and right back on the rape circuit and all those powerful men went back and they're like oh great You're out and I know you're above the law and that prison sentence was a joke

He was allowed to go home every day What kind of prison sentence is that? Galane Maxwell is running the prison she's in now Israel obviously controls our government Everyone who tells you that they don't is a massive liar or Incredibly ignorant has no idea what's happening in this country all right Illidium Q36 Dragon says, can we just wipe the entire government and start fresh without money slash social media influence, pretty pleased.

Well, the way you do that politically and peacefully is through voting. Vote against all the incumbents. The incumbents are dirty. They're crooks. They're the worst people in the country. That Congress is poison. Now, you don't deal with that in the same thuggish way that Israel does. No, you do it through the American way.

You vote them out. If anyone tells you, oh, the incumbents are so precious, they're so experienced and wonderful, but this is a beautiful Democratic incumbent. They're good people. No, they're not. No, they're not. Vote them out in primaries. They're deeply corrupt.

Asimov's prophet says, I'm so happy that there are still real journalists out there like Tara. They're all independent. There are no real journalists in mainstream media. Wang John Epstein was trying to bring together the most powerful people in the world, like some kind of perverted Nick Fury, funny. All right, back on TYT, Jay and sharing with you guys more news. Sharon, what we got? Virginia redistricting, Jang.

The redistricting wars just tilted hard in the GOP's favor this morning. The Virginia Supreme Court threw out the new congressional map that voters there passed last month. The map would have given Democrats an edge in four House districts heading into the midterms. All of this comes just one day after Tennessee. Republicans blew apart the state's last Democratic seat by slicing up Memphis. Before we get into more of these dirty details, You're two cents, Jank. Yeah, so guys, I'm going to go off on two things here.

One is this terrible ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court. So obviously corrupt to help Republicans win. I'll explain why and the nuances behind it. And then the second thing I want to explain to you guys is how gerrymandering stole our democracy. And while everybody's, oh, watch out for Donald Trump, which you should have. We said that too. But mainstream media doesn't tell you to watch out for this, which is actually completely robbed you of your vote all across the country.

Now let's explain why. Go ahead. So Virginia is ground zero for today. The news of the day, it's a big one. The four three decision, the state's top court ruled that legislative Democrats did not follow proper procedure when they rushed their redistricting referendum to the ballot. So the 4-3 decision means that the map used by Virginia in the 2024 elections will be used later this year. Now over-term map would have likely resulted in a 10-1 split of the delegation in favor of Democrats.

Virginia Justice D. Arthur Kelsey said Democrats submitted the proposed amendment to voters, quote, in an unprecedented manner that violated state law. Bottom line here, Virginia will use its old map, as we said, 2024 this November. The map currently splits the delegation, six Democrats to five Republicans. The new map would have made it 10 to 1, as we said, in favor of Democrats. The voters passed this measure by just an overwhelming margin more than 100,000 votes in April. And it was backed by Governor Abigail Spanberger. Former President Obama was putting out statements on this, social media in the airways,

tens of millions in Democratic spending. And now, all for naught, it's gone. Trump took a victory lap on Truth Social this morning. Let's show you that. Huge win for the Republican Party in America in Virginia. The Virginia Supreme Court has just struck down that Democrats' horrible gerrymander, make America great again, President Donald J. Trump. So this was the biggest prize Democrats had on the board in the national redistricting fight.

That's why it hurt so much. The NRCC, which funded the legal chair. called the ruling a win against what they said was a corrupt scheme to rig the map. Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who promised a maximum warfare everywhere all the time, redistricting agenda after the referendum passed is not this evening conceding. Here's what Jeffrey says. We're exploring all options to overturn this shocking decision. No matter what it takes, House Democrats will win in November so we can help rescue this nation from the extremism.

being unleashed by Donald Trump and Republicans. The Virginia Attorney General J. Jones says his team is evaluating every legal pathway forward. But with primaries bearing down, look, they're going to run out of time here. It's not on their side, Jank. We'll get to Tennessee, but give us, I guess, a Zoom outview here nationally. Political is reporting that in a maximalist scenario here, Republicans could net more than 10 seats. from these redrawn lines alone. Texas up to five, Florida four,

the late April Supreme Court decision, as we said, gutting the Voting Rights Act has to open the door for even more southern states to redraw as they love to do. Yeah, so let's start broad and go narrow to Virginia. So I despise gerrymandering. It robs of us of our democracy 100%, because it's the old line about, instead of the voters picking their politicians,

politicians pick their voters. They draw up these districts called like dragon districts and they weave all around the state in nonsensical ways because they're trying to cherry pick the voters that'll allow them to win the most amount of seats. Now I say they, the Republicans do it in red states, the Democrats do it in blue states. I despise it when both parties do it. Now in this case, why are we even talking about this? The redistricting happens at the end of decades, right?

So it happens every 10 years after the census. Trump decided no, I don't care about any of that. I'm gonna just do something unprecedented. I want you to redistrict right now in the middle of the decade. Well, if we go with that precedent, every new president that comes in is gonna say, no, I demand redistricting. So every four years we're gonna redistrict and then if that doesn't work every two years, every six months, and all of it, an effort to make sure your voice doesn't matter

at all. They just wanna remove the voters out of the equation so they could just play, Patty cakes with a donor class and serve the powerful and screw over every average American and it doesn't matter which party you're in. They're robbing you of your vote in the blue states and the red states. So now we turn to Virginia. So if you're a Democrat, you should hate gerrymandering just a smidge more. Don't get it twisted.

Do you think that blue states don't do it? The Democrats definitely do do it. So it's not like their hands are clean. But I get it when Trump and the Republican Party says, we are now going to cheat. We're going to do it in the middle of the decade. And we're only going to gerrymander the red state. So we have an unfair advantage. Then it forces the Democrats today to strike back.

But when you strike back, it's not like you liberate anyone. You actually take away the votes of the people in your state. So it's just disgusting in every way. But the Republicans always win in these fights. Why? Because they're willing to play dirty, which brings us to Virginia. So Virginia does a ballot initiative. It was actually close, 5248, but their voters in Virginia said, let's redistrict, okay?

And then the Virginia Supreme Court largely picked by Republicans, a complicated way that they picked the Supreme Court in Virginia. But bottom line is Republicans were in charge. So the majority of the justices appointed by Republicans. And oh, look at that, 4-3, the Republicans win this case. Now, when I first saw it, I thought, huh, that's interesting. They're saying that the redistricting and all of this, the ballot measure kind of happened in the middle of an election. And that's why it was against procedure. And I thought, well, that could make sense.

I get it. Like if, for example, the voting has started right now and they say, no, let's redistrict now. You go, well, no, no, no, no. People already voted in the old district. You crazy, you can't redistrict in the middle of things. So I thought maybe there's some legitimate reason to vote in this way. So I read further into it and you find out, no, no, no. No, it turns out that Virginia has a super complicated way of doing ballot measures that could

on issues like this. And you have to vote two different legislative sessions and it can't be any voting in the middle, okay? And so it has nothing to do with the redistricting today and the voting today. It has to do with something that happened in 2025. It is, bottom line is, is that technicality. There was nothing that would make you, that was unfair about the way that it was done. And to give you a sense of how dirty the Virginia Supreme Court is and how much they cheated

on behalf of Republicans, they said, oh, plus, it violates a 1902 law, you were supposed to nail the bill onto the door of the legislature, and you didn't do that. Okay, so you're freaking cheating, I got it. That's nonsense, utter nonsense, okay? So they're like, yeah, we're going to cheat. And so we're gonna redistrict in Tennessee. We're gonna redistrict in Texas and Florida and everywhere else. And when the Democrats try to redistrict in Virginia to strike back, we're just gonna use our dirty justices to block it.

Oh, you didn't nail it to the door. Get the hell out of here, man. I mean, why don't you just say we're lying, we're cheating, we're not real justices. That's a ballot measure. The people voted on it. In fact, in Virginia, that's your only recourse for democracy, right? Hey, we would like to redistrict right now. And they're like, shut up, you're not allowed to redistrict.

Only the Republicans are allowed to redistrict. You're gonna be forced into our non-democracy. But we just voted with our, on a ballot measure. It doesn't get any more political than that. Political issue is a potential way to defeat that in the courts, et cetera. We just, nothing in this democracy should be cherished more than the direct votes of the voters. And a conservative Supreme Court in Virginia said, screw the voters as we always do. We prefer the powerful, we prefer the Republican Party, and we prefer oppression.

So that's what they did in Virginia. So finally, what are we gonna do here? Well, Sharon, it looks like there isn't anything we can do. They're just gonna, you know, they're gonna win this one. And so yeah, we can appeal, but it's the same dirty court, they're not, we're gonna lose. So they're gonna pick up a whole bunch of seats in these states. Now at the same time, they're in such disastrous shape, they might lose Congress anyway, but they're at maximum tilt on cheating.

And it looks like, as usual, the Democrats are gonna sing, there was nothing we could do, there was nothing we could do. And to be fair to them on this one, there wasn't much they could do. No, and you know, when you speak to camera and talk about how it's as if this court is just saying we're cheating, we're lying. It is like they're saying that flat out. They might as well say that flat out. If they're relying on something from 1902 flimsy to overtake the will of the voters, then it's like giving them the middle finger.

And it's happening in other states too, like Tennessee, where we'll go now. The VRA ruling already got its first test run there. We should tell you, Governor Bill Lee signed a new congressional map into law yesterday that slices Memphis in Shelby County into three separate districts, blows apart the seat of Representative Steve Cohn, Tennessee's last House Democrat, scatters black voters, about two-thirds of Memphis. They are across neighboring districts. So you see the headlines. This is what's happening there.

As Jenks said, it's happening other places, and it's going to keep happening. This is the first map drawn anywhere in the country since the Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act. Tennessee Republicans didn't even try to hide their intent here either. State Representative Jason Zachary, Knoxville Republican, took to the floor to admit exactly what it is. And he says, it was absolutely drafted on politics. We're taking advantage of that as the supermajority in this body. Now, they're saying it was politics, not race, because the Supreme Court has made it clear that it will not block maps drawn purely for partisan gain. That's the loophole.

They drove a truck through it, if you will. will. The vote exploded into chaos in the state house. Demonstrators drowning out the tally with noisemakers, alarm shouting hands off Memphis. These one Republican lawmaker walked through the protesters with a Trump flag, draped over his shoulders like a cape, like he was headed into a heavyweight boxing match. State Senator Charlene Oliver, Nashville Democrats, stood on her desk before the vote holding a banner that read no Jim Crow, too. So that's what they're doing. Representative Antonio Parkinson, Memphis Democrat put it this way. Perhaps the legislature should explain why Memphis should continue to be part of the state of Tennessee. You're constantly beating on us.

Allow us out. Voting rights experts say the map would have never survived under the old BRA, David Becker of the Nonpartisan Center for Election and Innovation and research said the court almost seems to invite it now. Tennessee is not alone, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina,

Alabama, they're either redrawing or signaling that they will soon. NWACP, Tennessee, State Conference filed a lawsuit against the map Thursday evening, Jenk, but the big picture, one court ruling in Virginia, one governor,

signature in Tennessee yesterday. The fight where the house looks completely different than it did, well, 48 hours ago. And after so much that's happened in the run up to these midterms. Yeah. So cities vote on legislation and then states come in to the point that Memphis is making and go, well, you're in a red state. So we don't really care about your local rule. But wait a minute, I thought the conservatives cared most about local rule.

You know, don't have big government come in and overrule the local citizens. They're like, yeah, we were lying. So anytime a city, a blue city and a red state passes a law, we're just going to overrule it. And we're going to say you're not allowed to do it. Okay, so we're going to rob you of your democracy that way. And then on top of that, you pass a ballot measure like it happened in Virginia, where our dirty courts are going to come in, and our dirty right-wing justices are going to just cheat. And by the way, if you're saying, well, I mean, 1902 law, but it is a law.

No, they don't apply it in any other case. Nothing else has ever been overturned because of that 1902 law about nailing the bill to the door. It's just an obvious BS excuse to lie and cheat on behalf of the Republicans. So then, okay, ballot measures, that's the actual voters. Shut up voters. You have no voice at all. Only the powerful can win. And the Republicans are dirtier and they're more crooked.

So power is going to lean towards the more corrupt. So then they wind up having an advantage. So now on the Voting Rights Act and what the Supreme Court did, I need you to understand this, the Voting Rights Act was supposed to protect from what they used to do in the South in the old days. So everyone acknowledges, we're not talking about today. We're talking about in 1950s, 60s, let alone before that, terrible throughout. And they would say, okay, well, theoretically you have democracy, but we're going to split up the black voters. We're going to sprinkle with them throughout the state like Salt Bay so that they don't get or don't affect any single

district, they can't run their own lives, they can't run their own district. So the Voting Rights Act said you can't do that, that's discrimination based on race. And you have to factor race in to make sure that they are not discriminated against. So now the new Supreme Court comes in today and goes, well, you have to consider race a lot less. And because it's a political issue, we're not gonna overrule these state legislatures who redistrict based on politics. So politics is, I don't care.

care if you're black or white, I just want to win these races, right? And the way that I'm going to win those races in Tennessee is, I'm going to go back to the exact thing we used to do under Jim Crow when we were oppressing black people in the South, and I'm going to sprinkle the black voters throughout the state so they're dispersed and have no power and no district and no representation. Exactly what the Voting Rights Act was enacted to prevent. And our Supreme Court, 6.3 Republican appointed justices go, oh, you'd like to do racial discrimination and take away their rights?

Booyah! Yeah, of course. Oh, it's a political issue. Don't worry about race. You just gerrymandar any way you like, redistrict any way you like. You want to do it for your own advantage? Political advantage? Great, do it for your political.

That's why that state rep in Tennessee is like, hey, we're doing it for political advantage. The Supreme Court said we can cheat. So we're cheating. Now if you say the Supreme Court could argue that it's a political question, how they redistrict the seats, yes, but you know what else is something that they could adjudicate on, ending gerrymandering entirely, because it takes away our most core constitutional right, the vote, our votes become entirely irrelevant in gerrymandered districts. They are gerrymandered so that the other side cannot

possibly win. And again, that applies in blue states too, where Republicans have no chance of winning because of gerrymandering. Same thing in the red states. But the Supreme Court says, oh yeah, yeah, that's true. That takes away the number one most fundamental right of Americans. And they're like, yes, that way only the powerful can rule. And you'll have no democracy in America. That's our disgusting corrupt Supreme Court. The same guys who said citizens united, unlimited money so that corporations and foreign governments can bribe all of your politicians and buy them off so that Exxon Mobil and Pfizer and Israel can rule us all. So we're screwed, Sharon, totally screwed. Until we have...

A complete overhaul, a political revolution where both Democratic and Republican voters go, I've had enough of this garbage and I'd like to represent myself again. I love America and I hate this corruption.

And we're going to get the country back and we're going to have real votes and a real democracy. Until we do that, all we're going to have is, disgusting corruption as far as I can see. And the people who killed our democracy wasn't Donald Trump or Joe Biden. It was the entire political system and our entire mainstream media who murdered our democracy right in front of our eyes and then snicker about it and tell us, oh, that sounds conspiratorial. Now the donors rule everything. We have nothing left in this country because of these people.

So yeah, Republicans, enjoy your wins in Tennessee for as long as they last. But remember, if you're a Republican voter, they aren't your wins at all. Those politicians aren't representing you all across the country. They're representing Israel, big pharma, defense contractors, because they're getting paid by them. They're screwing all of us no matter what our beliefs are. They don't give a damn about our beliefs. They built an entire system based on corruption. And the media's job is to blind you so you can't see it.

Well, I see it, Sharon sees it. We all see it at TYT. And we're going to wake the whole country up until you all see it. And you revolt against the corrupt. Okay, I'm sorry, I got. No, keep going. It's the layers. It's the layers.

She's on Rebel headquarters. She's all over TYT. So check out all of our channels. Thank you, Sharon. We'll be right back. Thank you. What contributions to the progressive cause are you most proud of?

I mean, I don't I don't have super high aspirations for a singular role that I can play in the movement or anything. I just, I try to present myself as what I think that I am, which is a progressive man who is driven by a, I think, well-interrogated and well-organized system of values that I try to stay consistent on, and I demonstrate that that's the sort of life that a person can lead. And be successful and be happy and all of that. And that should not need to be done, but there are so many people on the right that are trying to push men in the opposite direction that I want to be able to do that. Along the way, if I can get people to care about some topics that not that they wouldn't necessarily care about, or that for some men, they might think that's not a topic

that they should be focused on. That's definitely something that I relish doing. And along the way, I mean, we've been able to introduce people to a lot of candidates. That's been a big part of what we've done. You know, not all of them necessarily got in office. Probably most of them did not. And a lot of them, you might not even remember their names. But it was great to be able to provide people the platform where they had the chance of, you know, making a difference.

Obviously, AOC and all that. But there's been a lot of great people along the way. In the bonus episode for the members, we do some inside baseball. We're going to look at John's desk. Nice little spaceship here. Nerd. But it is kind of look cool. Who has Legos?

Charlemagne. Congress, been great to have you. It's great to be with you, Your show is a great thing. You're informing people. A lot of the shows that I live on, you know, my CNN and my MSNBC and even Fox and any of the other shows, NPR.

They are so quick to decide that they know what this building means today. The one thing that I hate that politicians do, you know, they talk about the people they should be talking to. Do they have any idea that they're their establishment and that they're hated, or do they not realize that at all? People are so deeply in their little universe. I think it's very easy to not really question what you're doing. Voters have a right to ask questions of any nominee,

whether they're independent, Republican, or Democrat. The system is monopoly that suppresses competition. How is it the year 2024, and we're still like, maybe they'll talk about pain medical? I know, it's just like. At one level, it's like, good, what we're talking about it now. You're like, it's 2024. And that's always been the critique, that your critique of us is, well, you guys give good speeches.

Okay, let's go to the next. Take a look at this.

How much did you look at the motivation of these in these acts of what you call anti-Semitism, what the report is looking at in terms of whether or not they were done? And I, well, you weigh in on, you know, from the right, the neo-Nazis, the Groyper's, that group, or from the left to the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel crowd. Is there one group that's doing more of it? This is a very good question, Jake, in terms of which side is doing more? Look, we find that on both sides of the political spectrum, there are manifestations of anti-Semitism and virulent anti-Jewish hate.

Now, it's certainly true that people like Hassan Piker from the left or Tucker Carlson from the right, they generate a lot of headlines. And some politicians who dabble in anti-Semitic tropes also, at our attention. But you know, behind these statistics, behind the 6,274 incidents, there are real people at stake. Yeah, almost everything you saw there was a lie. The numbers are a lie and the whole smear propaganda for Israel from Jake Tapper about, oh, and the pro Hamas left. What a hell are you talking about? Okay, so guys, in this story, you're gonna see more of that clip, but wait till you find out how outrageous,

the lies are and what it may describe as anti-semitism. I'll give you one now and we're gonna give you a lot more in this story. They say now if you say the phrase free America, you're an anti-Semite. Insanity, okay, more of this insanity. Jordan tells us all about it. So that clip was Jake Tapper interviewing Jonathan Greenblad, the CEO of the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League. And the ADL just released their audit of anti-Semitic incidents.

from last year. Greenblatt stated that the ADL has a, quote, rigorous methodology for determining what counts as an anti-Semitic incident. Under their definition of the term pro-Palestinian activism would not be included, nor would criticizing the government of Israel. Let's look at the ADL's annual audit to determine what kinds of incidents count as anti-Semitic. And these are from December of last year, here on December 29th. An incident in Santa Monica, California. A banner was reportedly displayed over a freeway that depicted Trump with a star of David on his forehead. In the 31st, an anti-Israel rally organized by North Shore for Palestine, Jamaica Plain for Palestine, a few other local groups. Those protesters displayed signs with messages that

included Zoronism, yes, Zionism, no. The ADL discloses since October 7th, 2023, ADL began to include in the audit certain expressions of opposition to Zionism. So what is the ADL doing about these incidents? Well, let's go back to Tapper's interview with Greenblatt because he's about to tell you. We mentioned that there was a drop, a sizable drop in 2025 from the number of incidents reported in 2024, which is some good news in this. What do you attribute that to? Look, that is good news and we welcome the fact that the overall incidents are down 33%. It's attributed to a few things, Jake.

Number one, college campuses. We saw a two-thirds drop on college campuses year over year. I think that's a function of the fact that campuses started enforcing their policies, instituting new rules, part because of pressure from the White House, part because of oversight from Congress, part because of pressure from groups like ADL with our campus report card that held them accountable. On yesterday's edition of breaking points, Glenn Greenwald explained what he thinks is actually happening here. A desperate attempt to stop American people from turning on Israel. Take a look. You can find some genuinely anti-Semitic incidents. And under the assaults category, even if you were to credit the ADL, which would be very foolish to do in light of what we know about them.

But even if you were to credit all the assaults that they counted as actual anti-Semitic assaults, it numbers in like the low hundreds, like 100s. 160 or 200 or something like that, which I'm not saying should be dismissed, but is far from the sort of epidemic they're trying to depict. I think the context here is so critical, which is that there is very well documented and rather still rapidly accelerating collapse of support for Israel in the United States and throughout more broadly the democratic world. And the solution that they've embraced, the only one that they can really think about is to acquit protest against Israel or even opposition to Israel with anti-Semitism. We saw that in the encampments on college, which were all deemed basically intrinsically

anti-Semitic, even though they were filled with Jews and led by Jews and all kinds of Muslims who only had a problem with Israel's destruction of Gaza. And then also the kind of more, the broader institutional imperative, these kinds of groups, if they're a group aimed at injustice X, they have an inherent interest, an institutional interest, in depicting X as as grave of a problem as possible, and that's what really is going on here. Jank, what do you make of all this? Yeah, so I'm going to tell you some of the examples that they called anti-Semitic to give you a sense of how absurd it is. I want you to know that Jonathan Greenblatt and Jay Tapper are part of our oppressors.

They're the people that are inside this country whose job is to get you to submit to Israel and to not demand freedom as an American. They hate the concept of this country and the idea of this country. And they're trying to rob that from us. And they're trying to take our speech away. Now, if you think that's hyperbole, let me give you the examples. And then you can make up your own mind. They say that you can, are they not merciful?

You're allowed to say Palestine, free Palestine. But you're not allowed to scream it. That's anti-semitism. They're like, what if a Jewish person is walking by and they hear it and they feel intimidated? Why would freeing a different people offend a Jewish person? It's like if you say free Tibet, is that racist against Chinese people? And if China had the kind of power that Israel has in this country, they would say, absolutely, you anti-Chinese racist, you should be canceled.

Don't you dare criticize China? What do you mean free Tibet? The Tibetans should be slaughtered and they should be genocided and they should know that they have no rights. What do you mean free Tibet? Yes, Jonathan. That's exactly what you look like, okay? No, I'm allowed to say whatever the hell I want in this country. If you question the Charlie Kirk investigation, anti-Semitic.

So wait, what if we thought Russians were involved in the Charlie Kirk shooting? Can we say that? Oh yeah, you can say that. Chinese? Yeah, Paraguay, no problem. Isra, anti-Sahide. What do you mean? This is insanity.

They said, oh, in one protest, somebody said, called it Israel. So what? We're allowed to say anything we want about Israel or any other country. And they say no, the First Amendment now is different. You're allowed to say anything you want about America or any other country. But if you say anything about Israel, it's anti-Semitic, it's hate speech, and there will be consequences. And there are.

They sick people on you, like media figures like Jake Tapper, to try to destroy your life. Hassan Piker said things that are not acceptable. Take away his rights. Candice Sos, take away her rights. Anyone on the right or the left, then you're pro Hamas and you're a Nazi. And that's it, we're gonna be crushed in America. How dare you demand freedom? One of the incidents that was called anti-Semitics was based on what they called a potentially

anti-Semitic flag. Well, what the hell is it? So tell us what the flag is. So like if it's like a swastika, then I agree with you, right? No, they won't tell you. Here's my guess is it was a Palestinian flag. So guys, do you see what's happening here? Not only are you not allowed to criticize Israel and they'll pretend it's an anti-Semitic,

but on top of that, and then there's this great irony that I'm gonna tell you about in a second, Jordan. But now they're saying you're not even allowed to support the Palestinians. If you support the Palestinians who the Israelis are in the middle of murdering, they literally did a genocide, they murdered 23,000 kids, right? But you know, you, they have to accept, and now you have to fund if you don't give me your goddamn wallet right now. It's a frickin' robbery, give me $310 billion, right?

That's what Israel did. Why don't you give us $310 billion? Is your, oh, you anti-Semite, give me your wallet, right? I gotta go slaughter more Palestinians with it. Now if I say, hey, can you please stop slaughtering the Palestinians? Anti-Semite, can you please free the Palestinians? Anti-Semite, destroy him. That's what they are.

They're a Gestapo inside this country trying to take away our rights. as Americans, they're trying to destroy this country and the idea of this country by telling us what we can and can't say. Is Israel, Israel? Of course it is. I mean, if a genocide is not hellish, if a million people being ethnically cleansed in Lebanon as we speak is not hellish, then the word hellish has no meaning. But no, you are to be muzzled.

you do not have your constitutional rights anymore because Israel controls this country. By the way, they want money for this. They want money to enforce, so you're going to take our money and use it against you to take away your rights. But Israel has no influence or control in this country. Jake Tapper lies every single day on television. Oh, Israel has no influence. If you say Israel has influence, Israel will crush you. Wait, which one is it, Jake?

Do they have no influence? Or are we all dirty anti-Semites on the left and the right? and we all need to be crushed on behalf of Israel. Now, I'm going to get to two ironies here. A lot of the protesters are Jewish students. So there were so many Jewish students at the pro-Palestine protests at Columbia that they would have Shabbat dinners on Fridays, which I love. That's what's great about this country.

Jews and Muslims and Christians and atheists and Buddhists all working together. Armenian and the Turk do a show to you. That's what's beautiful about America. We don't care about the religion. We don't care about your race or your national background, especially on the left. And these liars like Jake Tapper and almost every cable news anchor, every day come out and go, they care about race and religion. They hate Jewish people. We keep saying we don't.

63% of Jewish Americans are against the current Israeli government. Anti-Semites, destroy them. And by the way, I'm not, again, no hyperbole. I have Jewish voice for peace activists come to me all the time saying the Israeli guys are trying to get them fired. They target Jewish Americans that they view to be disloyal to Israel. They call them self-haters. So it doesn't matter which religion you're in. Israeli Gestapo is out to get you and they will try to destroy your life.

Okay. Now here comes the capper. Under the new definition of anti-Semitism, if you intimate that Israel, actions should be reflect upon Jews that you equate Israel's actions with Jews, that's also anti-Semitic. But wait a minute, that's what they do every time. We say it's not Jewish people, we say most Jewish Americans are actually on our side, and they go, no, shut up.

What Israel does is the Jewish state, and it stands for Jews, and Israel is Jewish, and Jewish is Israel. Well, then Jake Tapper's an anti-Semite. Jonathan Greenblatt's an anti-Semite. I've seen him do it a thousand times. They're like, no, no, no. The standard is if you say it's anti-Semitic, if I say it's awesome. Well, what is this?

All right, Jordan, I mean, can we ever escape the Israeli oppression in this country? Or do we have to bow our heads to these monsters? Well, let me talk about that dynamic you just laid out, right? The weaponization of this label, it does more harm to Jewish American. And that's something we've spoken out against. Hassan has spoken out against repeatedly for years on his stream. And that's when I hear that, knowing him, obviously you know him a little bit. But seeing his content being familiar with how he approaches that issue,

seeing him lumped together and mentioned in the same breath as Nick Fuentes and the Groyper movement, it undercuts their entire argument. This isn't a left and right wing problem. you're just conflating. You're conflating everybody because all you're trying to do is limit speech and ultimately protect the Israeli government from criticism. We don't want to conflate American Jews or Jews anywhere around the world with that government. Everyone is an autonomous being and there are many Jews,

especially in this country who have stood their ground, who have fought back, who have stood up, taken to the streets, protested, spoken out. They don't want to be grouped with the Israeli government. They don't want to be grouped with Netanyahu and they don't want to be treated as a monolith. Jonathan Greenblatt, in doing this, I would argue that does more harm to Jews than good. This isn't protecting anybody. It's putting them in harm's way. Yeah. So they're, that's because they don't care about Jewish Americans. They only care about Israel. Israel, Israel, Israel. And if you're Andy Levin and you're a Jewish representative from Michigan,

but you dare to defy the extreme right wing government of Israel, they spent $4 million and eliminate you, destroy your career. They don't care, they don't care at all about religion. They're giant liars. They love nationalism. So one of the things that's now also anti-Semitic is if you criticize Zionism. But Zionism is a project that is based on nationalism. It's saying that we should have set up an ethno state, obviously for a different government, right?

So we can't criticize the nationalist tendencies of a different government? Well, what if the Germans went back to nationalism as they had before? Are we allowed to criticize that? Because that sounds like it'd be really dangerous. Oh, yeah, you can criticize nationalism in Germany or in Turkey or in Bolivia. You can criticize it anywhere. You're like, and in Israel, no, anti-Semite, take away his rights. And they're literal liars.

This two clowns show, Greenblad and Tapper, as they're talking, I forget they do so many segments together. They couldn't care less about Muslim rights. They despise Muslims. And so they've never, like segments on protecting Muslims. Oh, gee, I wonder who suffers more discrimination, right? Muslims or Jewish Americans in favor of Israel in this country? It's not even close.

I get death threats every single day. And no one in media cares. No one does any stories about it. They're like, yeah, you're born Muslim. You have no rights. We don't care if you're offended. We don't care if people threaten to murder you. We don't care if they docks your family.

We don't care if they do every kind of disgusting threat to you. You don't count. You don't count. Only the people who support Israel count. So we'll do endless segments on CNN. Oh my God, the feelings of genociders have been bruised slightly. How dare you state things that are true with them. But then on top of that, they layer lies.

So as they were talking about it, Hassan criticized Orthodox Jews, as by the way, I would criticize any fundamentalist religion. I criticize fundamentalist Islam all the time, fundamentalist Christianity, et cetera. But instead of saying it that way, on CNN, they said that he called all Jews inbred. But he didn't. He didn't, that was a flat out lie. I forget if it was Godheimer or Lawler or Greenblatt who did it. But it was on a Jake Tapper segment because half of his segments are about beloved Israel should never be challenged.

And you're all anti-Semites on the right and the left. All you Americans are anti-Semites. Jake Tapper tells us as he looks down his nose at us. How dare you? Know your role. Know that you ruled by Israel. And if you say it, it's going to be punished. You're disgusting, Jake.

You don't do news. You want to admit that they lied on air and you never corrected it? Oh, no, no, no. We have to smear Hassan. We have to smear everyone who's opposed to Israel. But no, they, no influence in media, no influence in government. I'm sick of the Israelis who oppress all Americans nonstop. Last thing Jordan, but I keep saying it because it's so, it makes it so obvious.

Israel is the size of Papua New Guinea. If everyone on cable news was obsessed with protecting the feelings of Papa New Guinea, New Guineans, as Papua New Guinea was doing a genocide on a nearby Pacific Island and has attacked seven nearby islands and nations and demands that we give trillions of dollars to help Papua New Guinea, everyone would say that's absurd, that's absurd. And then if all of the media in unison said, no, you're anti-Papa New Guineaist, Papa New Guinea's genocides don't matter, they're not a problem. Attacking all of their neighbors is not a problem.

You objecting to it is a problem. Everyone would say you're a lunatic, you're an obvious lunatic, and more important than being a lunatic, because I believe a lot of them are deranged, and they believe their own garbage. Like inside Jake Tapper's head, he's like, oh, Israel's right about everything. Everyone is dirty, who doesn't agree with Israel?

Yes, yes, yes, lie, lie on behalf of Israel. Protect Israel at all cost. I'm a newsman, I'm objective. My ass you are. Anyways, if they were all out there going, Now remember, the biggest danger in America is the offense that people are taking that are from Papua New Guinea. We have to protect the feelings of people from Papua New Guinea, Papa New Guinea, Papa New Guinea.

We have to do a war for Papa New Guinea. No one's allowed to criticize Papa New Guinea. We'd all be like, what is this? Obviously, Papua New Guinea controls us. That is why everyone in media and everyone in the government is obsessed with Papa New Guinea. But you minus that name, you put in the name of Israel, and everyone goes, no, that's totally normal. Jordan, this isn't anywhere near normal. I don't think we control our own country at all or the national media.

I think they're totally in the tank for Israel. I mean, there's certainly a lot of bias. I wouldn't go as far as to say that the entire media is there. But like you see people in prominent positions. I don't want to get too close to just sweeping generalizations. But I think there are people who, you know, for whatever reason, religious or, you know, familial, whatever. They present a skewed and distorted representation of the facts and one that puts the interests of the Israeli government first.

And it's detrimental. You shouldn't do that for not just any country, for any issue. It's antithetical to the core tenets of journalism, which is why they're not journalists. They're just entertainers on TV. Yeah. So the disagreement is around the edges. Is it 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100%, or 100? 100% control.

Yeah, I mean look, we stretched and stretched and we found that Chris Hayes has done a couple of segments where the guests have said that Israel is wrong or as committing a genocide. But every other cable news anchor can't find a way to criticize Israel, just can't find it. But that's normal? In the middle of a genocide, if there was no cable news anchor could find a way to criticize the Holocaust in the middle of the Holocaust, you'd say, that's super weird. We're supposed to accept that it's normal. No, mainstream media is nearly 100% controlled not by Jewish people against their, against the wishes of 63% of Jewish Americans.

They're controlled by Israel, and that is super obvious. Young Turk. And a sentiment of them. So let's go to members on t.wit.com. Crazy lead agent says, thanks for the interview, referring to the Tara Palmieri interview in the beginning. I reminded that war is a case of wag the dog in very possibly to prevent the release of compromise. Why else is the president so loyal to Israel? Yeah, I mean, the chance that Israel is blackmailing Trump is super high.

The chance that they were blackmailing an enormous number of our leaders is super high. And the only reason why we don't all know that is because mainstream media is on purpose, avoiding telling you that story. If I was on cable news and I wanted to track ratings, I would tell you about the video cameras that I've seen had in the tissue boxes and in the clocks and hidden. all over his house. Why did he have super powerful men on there and videotape them doing deeply disgusting immoral illegal actions because he wasn't going to use it for blackmail? The only other plausible explanation is that every reporter in mainstream media is the dumbest person in America.

I can't tell it was a black male. Oh, shush, it's anti-semitic. Okay, Jamal Lee says this lack of information indicates to me that damage is much greater than being admitted. No official statement I've seen explicitly says no Americans were killed, referring to the strikes on our ships. Yeah, the Trump administration is lying about everything. Votostar says no religious ethno state has a right to exist, including Israel, including Saudi Arabia, including Iran. You don't have a right to declare yourself a Muslim state or a Jewish state or a shaman state. And we all have to like somehow cater to that.

No, but Israel gets a special exemption. Of course, as always, we'll be right back. And a sentiment of them. All right, back on TYT, Jank and Jordan with you guys, quick comment from one of our members on tyt.com. Jack C380 said the ADL is shifted from protecting Jews to the Zionist bandwagon headed by Netanyahu. Yes, ADL is definitely not a civil rights group.

In fact, they try to take away your civil rights and your constitutional rights on behalf of a foreign government. And not only that, they serve the extreme right wing that hates civil rights within the Israeli government. All right, I'm gonna do fiery speech like this in London. So if you are anywhere near London in the beginning of June, we're giving away a couple of free tickets. So jump on it if you can. TYT.com slash London. I'm at South by Southwest in London. So a free tickets at tyt.com com slash London. One last quick thing. Member Mondays are when you guys get to call in if you're members, t.y.com slash call is how you call in. But I want to let you guys know what the theme is for Monday.

on politically. So think about that and give us a call on Monday and interact with me. All right, Jordan, what's next? Is Cash Patel crashing out after the latest report? It seems like a fair question. We've heard about his use of the FBI to serve as a personal chauffeur for his girlfriend, his luxurious trips on our dime. And recently allegations of alcohol use impairing his work, But now, intense paranoia and distrust of those around him in the bureau. And we have more, but Jack, want to bring you in here. What are your two cents here? What do you make of the drama surrounding Cash Patel?

Yeah. So look, on the one hand, it's funny because he's such an obvious clown. And he's like Fredo, but he's loyal to the boss. Okay, so they drag him along and have him do their dirty work. But on the other hand, Jordan, it's deeply depressing because they're targeting their enemies, destroying the concept of America, and putting buffoons like this in charge of their corruption. So tell us about it. Well, here's what you need to know.

FBI director Cash Patel ordered the polygraphing more than two dozen former and current members of his security detail, as well as other staff, and has been described as being in panic mode to save his job. and find leaguers among his team, according to two people briefed on the development. MS now also reports that Patel walled himself off from some senior bureau leaders this week after the questions were raised about his leadership. The director has also avoided meeting this week with some key operational leaders of the bureau, the people said, raising concerns inside the FBI about Patel's ability to stay abreast of pressing threats and investigations in order to make the best decisions.

This internal investigation was sparked by the Atlantic piece we've covered on this show, and you've probably heard about, that included anonymous reports about Cash Patel's alleged drinking and how it affects his ability to do his job. He was deeply upset about that, denied it, and even said he was going to sue the Atlantic. Ben Williamson, FBI spokesman denied reports of polygraph tests and added, the only people in panic are the panikins in the media. pushing out false stories because they spend zero time covering the record-breaking success in reduction in crime at this FBI. A trademark of Patel's time as FBI director has been the abrupt firing of staff, including agents with specific and relevant areas of expertise. Now this probe has staff worried that their jobs could be next.

sources told MS now that agents were deeply concerned about opening such a probe in which they were expected to examine the contacts of a journalist who engaged in news gathering and in their view lacked reasonable justification. Those sources said the agents who were directed feared Patel would fire them if they did not agree. Jenk, can make of this. Well, of course he's going to fire them for political reasons. And of course they're prosecuting people based on political reasons. Going after James Comey because he found a collection of seashells. Okay, then they say, all right, it says 86, 47, 86 you say claim is a death threat. Jack Posobiac, well-known right-wing pundit, said the same exact thing about Biden.

Literally the same exact thing. But he didn't find any seashels. He just wrote it on a tweet. So it was way more intentional. And they're like, yeah, it is the same thing. we don't care, we're not going to prosecute him. We're only going to prosecute Democrats. And specific Democrats, not even just Democrats, Comey's not even a Democrat. Democrats and opponents of Donald Trump. And we've got this cross-hide mutant at large half works

for Trump, half works are Israel that's going to do all of these. This is, this is like, it's idiocry on steroids, Jordan. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, this is somebody who clearly is in over his hat. who only has his job because he kissed up to Donald Trump, who spent most of his time embroiled in one scandal or another. He's misused government funds. He's used the government jets to go visit his girlfriend at Nashville. And every single time these things get reported out,

his statements, his justifications, his defenses, getting more ridiculous and over the top. I mean, we talked about it with the girlfriend. vacation and the chauffeur story came out. The statement was about how she's a country music sensation and her music is topping the charts or something like that. And we looked into it. She's got

a couple thousand listeners on Spotify and they have since, they're right in a coordinated effort, have tried to prop her up and build up her industry. And to me it's like everything about all of these people feels phony. It's like the greenery in Vegas. It's all just fake. They're astroturfing people's careers.

I saw a story today. Sean McDuffie, the Transportation Secretary, has been doing a reality show as in his position over the last several months. Like, they're all ripping us off in one way or another. They're all profiting. They're all just scheming and scamming their way through this second Trump term. And there are no guardrails. The Democrats through being in a minority and also just don't doesn't seem like leadership has a will to fight on some of these things.

It just happens. And we continue to descend into the most embarrassing state this country has been in relatively recent history. Look, the Democrats, it's not like they don't serve the powerful, they do it in a more sophisticated way. This is super ham-handed, right? This is, these guys are like, that's it. We're going to arrest our political opponents. I mean, it just, this is not America. So you can't, they're disqualifying Republicans. So if you vote for Republicans, you get clowns like this who go, yeah, I'm going to abuse the FBI in every way.

I'm going to go drinking with the hockey players. I'm gonna demand FBI jackets and chauffeurs and private trips from my me and my girlfriend. We get to be corrupt and we get to try to destroy anyone who tells anyone about it. You're gonna tell about our corruption, we're gonna destroy your life or your career. So with these thugs, what are you gonna do, vote Republican? I mean this, look, if you find different sets of Republicans that aren't just deeply corrupt, like Tom Massey, that's a different question. But no, Trump in his circle are the worst of the worst.

They don't care about the voters at all. think that if they won, that means they get to rob the American taxpayers for everything we've got. And the final funny part of this is, speaking of the leaks that they're so obsessed about, Susie Wiles, the chief of staff today wrote an email to all the White House staffers demanding that they not leak. Well, how do I know about that? That got leaked. Yeah, it's a clown show. All right, we've got to take a break. We'll be right back. All right, let's go to t.R.T.com. Come again, theater got us says, Cenk defense Hassan with the same energy as he does any other public figure that is being unjustly attacked.

So I'm not sure newer watches realize he's Hassan's uncle. But you're right, you're right. I don't like, yeah, of course, he's my nephew and I care about that, obviously, right? I care deeply about it. But I, as you're rightly saying, I would care just as much if it's anyone else. They're doing that to Jordan and they're taking his quotes out of context and they're passing congressional resolutions against him. instead of passing resolutions against genocide, I would say that they're sick, disgusting people who are totally controlling our government.

But it doesn't even have to be a family or a friend. If they did it to you, I'd stick up for you in the same exact way. Nostra skeptics says, Jake Tapper is just a corporate media fop, a face plus a voice, a guy who seeks the path of less resistance to please the powerful. Jake is a spin pusher, an opportunist. Tapper's a highly paid cowtow and a guy who knows who butters his bread. Yeah, that sounds exactly right. Mike Ingram says, damn, Papua New Guinea sounds anti-Semitic.

Just kidding. It's just Vegas says, I can't imagine the amount of blackmail Epstein had on the powerful. Yeah, I can. It is enormous. And now I'm totally convinced that Donald Trump had did something terrible, terrible, in the day Israelis have it on tape. All right, let's see what happens. That's my theory.

And of course, everyone in mainstream media will say, Don't investigate. Whatever you do, do not investigate the powerful or the Israelis. Angry Com says the chance of Israel nuking the U.S. is a billion times more likely than Iran. Well, I mean, I guess by definition since Israel has nuclear weapons and it's the country most likely to use them by a country mile. I would hope it's not against us, but nothing's guaranteed. All right, back on TYT, Jank and Jordan with you guys. At the top of the hour, guys, we have two great interviews for you.

First, Robert Greenwald from Brave New Films, bravely fighting back against it. abuses in Gaza, but also the abuses here at home through ice. So make sure you check out that interview, it's powerful and important. And then after that, we have someone who was supposed to give the commencement speech at Rutgers Engineering graduation, but because he had pro-Palestinian posts, he was canceled and he was not allowed to speak. You can't even be in favor of Palestinians and the Israelis pretend that they're not bigots. They're the biggest bigots in the world, if you just say, I'm in favor of Palestinians.

of Palestinians, they're like, you shouldn't be allowed to say that because it offends me if you like other people, if you want to treat other people as human beings. Jesus Christ with these oppressive Israelis. All right, Jordan, what's next? DropSight News has exposed an organization called Eagle's Wings, a Christian Zionist organization for being funded by the Israeli government. And there is a lot here, some very shocking details. But first, Jank. What are your two cents here? Oh, the Israelis are bribing some people in this country to control America into giving them hundreds of billions of dollars and starting trillions of dollars worth of wars all on behalf of Israel. I am so surprised. Well, let's give you the facts and the receipts about how they've been lying to Christians systematically for decades here, trying to trick them into taking their money to serve Israel. Go ahead. Well, here's what you need to know.

Eagle's wings descended upon the Capitol this week to throw big gala's and lobby are elected officials. On Monday, they threw a bash for Israel Advocacy Day. The goal of Israel Advocacy Day, according to the organizers themselves, is to shape U.S. policy towards the Middle East. This year's agenda will focus on reinforcing U.S. support for Israel's security, addressing the sharp rise of anti-Semitism, and advancing protections for faith-based institutions facing increased threats. Now this is a SIOP based backed by the state of Israel. Eagles wings was secretly paid a total of $700,000 by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, $245,000 of which was allocated for its lobbying efforts this year, according to a previously

unreported Israeli procurement document. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes in the contract that it is funding Eagles wings in order to prevent churchgoers and priests from adopting pro-BDS and anti-Israel positions. Eagles Wings revenue was about

$6 million in 2024, the most recent year available. If its revenue in 2025 is similar, the Israeli government will account for over 10% of its funding last year. According to the contract, Eagle's Wings is

very important to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The organization is going after both our elected officials and the Christian Zionist community. The lobbying campaign plans to hold more than 100 meetings across Capitol Hill this week. We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the U.S.-Israel relationship reads a meeting invite sent to a Democratic congressional staffer obtained by drop site. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes a contract that it is funding Eagles wings in order to prevent churchgoers and priests from adopting those positions we just mentioned. Crucially, Eagle's Wings is not registered as a foreign agent and will end by diving into Robert Stearns, the founder of Eagle's Wings. Stearns, who founded the organization in 1994,

has said he is willing to die for Israel because he sees it as a crucial ally in a war against Islamic extremists. A week after the U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign against Iran began, Stearns authored an article in the Jerusalem Post asking Christians to stand with Israel and visit the country. Here's a video of Stearns calling the American people dumbed down for turning against Israel. This was recorded almost immediately after the first strikes of the Iran War. Iran has slaughtered its citizens over the people. past weeks, slaughtering its citizens

and cold blood. No uproar, no demonstrations, no Hollywood celebrities, you know, changing their acceptance speeches. And now the

voice is coming out against this strike. I don't understand. Is it ignorance? Is it willful ignorance? Is it brainwashing? It is the dumbed down American public that simply does not take time to learn, to study, to understand that just wants to react against this because, oh my God, it's Trump, so it must be bad. Who really is dumbed down here? And why? Yeah, so they think we're dumb.

But he's saying that because he's always thought that because he thought, well, we could just bribe their pastors and then pretend that Christianity should only care about protecting the foreign government of Israel. And they must have thought in the beginning, come on, really? Can we really get Americans to believe that? That all, like the only Christianity, don't worry about Jesus. Don't worry about feeding the poor, taking care of the needs. that's not important at all.

The only thing he cared about was making sure that Israel was not boycotted or sanctioned. This current foreign government of Israel, Jesus cared about sanctions against them. Well, they're like, yeah, but if we bribe all their pastors and we have them all lie to as many Christians as possible, the Israelis and Israeli supporters like the one you just saw think, well, Americans are dumb. We'll just trick them. And unfortunately, a lot of Christian Zionists were tricked into believing that they shouldn't care about Christianity nearly as much as they should care about Israel. And that if they cared about Christianity, if they cared about God, they would spend their

whole lives defending Israel against economic sanctions? Come on, man. So Israel is literally bribing our government, 94% of Congress. Israel is literally bribing Christian pastors and leaders. And they're literally buying our media, CNS, CBS, TikTok, etc. So what is this? And I'll tell you what it is, it's a foreign government. And I would argue a foreign enemy who has infiltrated our country in order to rob us.

And they have. They've taken $320 billion in direct payments. And if it's not a robbery and it actually helps the people giving it great, then Israel give us the money back and it'll help you. Oh, I see the robbery only goes one way though. Right, right? Well, Israel, why don't you give the money back? Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Well, if it's so helpful for us to give it to you, why don't you give it back? It'll be helpful to you. No, shut up Americans, you're dumb and your job is to get lied to and serve Israel.

That's Christianity, that's Christianity. You serve a different religion and a different government. Okay, and now they want to rub it in our face, not good enough. Now we're going to call you dumb on top. And if you catch us with our hand on the cookie jar and you see exactly how much we bribe your officials, you see how we told you to attack seven countries. And you dumbasses spent $8 trillion attacking the seven countries. Israel demanded that you attack. Well, of course, we're going to bribe everybody in America. And we're going to control the media enough so that you never find out.

Well, too late guys, we found out. So, yes, you control me, in my opinion, you control me. mainstream media nearly 100%. And guys, for a billionth time, not Jewish people, Israel. Israel attacks Jewish people in this country all the time. The number one target of propaganda in this country from Israel are actually Jewish Americans. And 63% of Jewish Americans are against the current Israeli government. It isn't about religion, it's about a foreign government that has infiltrated every part of this country in order to rob us blind and make sure we fight all their wars for them.

so they could expand their imperial empire in the Middle East. Jordan. Yeah, I think there's a lot of unlearning that I've seen some, you know, traditional Christian Zionists, whether they realize they were in that camp or not. I've seen them kind of realize, oh, wait a minute, none of this stuff is good. Like, it's, it can only take so much footage from Gaza before they start to question what they have been taught. And this relationship between the Israel lobby and the Christian movement in the U.S. goes back a long time.

And you'll even hear American Jews reject this framing by Christian Zionists. Like, oh, they're God's chosen people. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we don't claim that. That's something you all think. And we're seeing now more and more people waking up, which is why they're doubling down. They're investing more money into this because they realize they're losing their foothold into that segment of America. But I think a lot of these people just didn't realize. They're good people who just thought, okay, yeah, this is what we got to do.

This is what we're being taught in our church. And they realize, hey, their pastors have been lying to them. Their pastors have been pushing propaganda in their churches. And then they see this footage out of Gaza and they're instructed. No, no, no, no. You have to support this government. A lot of these people are good people who just want to live a good life and the way that they see fit. They can't stomach this footage.

They can't stomach what they're seeing coming out of Gaza. And that's why I think this this group is so petrified. And that's why they're saying, oh, no, they're dumbing down. No, no, no, no. If anything, they're getting smarter. They're realizing how much they've been lied to. And I think it's a good thing. Yeah, I couldn't agree more with you.

I don't think they're dumb. I think they're goodhearted people. And they, a lot of us got tricked. I got tricked by mainstream media when I was younger. We were all the victims of this overwhelming propaganda from this foreign government. And so we've all been lied to in a hundred different ways. I was told in school that Israel was attacked in 1948 and 1967. That's not true.

Israel attacked first. They slaughtered the Palestinians and ethnically cleans them in 48, and they attacked all their neighbors and destroyed all their air forces in 67. And then they pretended it was self-defense, and our media lied to us and told us it was self-defense. They even put it in our textbooks bought by Robert Maxwell. One of the legendary Mossad spies was allowed to buy our textbooks and put in garbage propaganda. If you believed what your text was told you or the news anchors told you, you're not dumb.

They're evil for tricking you. So look, let's liberate ourselves. Easy ways to do it on all fronts. Vote against all the incumbents. 94% of incumbents are dirty, corrupt, and work for Israel, big farmer on anyone else that'll pay them. Vote all the bombs out in media. turn off your television and say smash to pieces, but now there's online media on on your TV sets too. So leave your TV sets alone.

But you'd be, I mean, if you turn on cable news, you are willingly getting brainwashed. Why would you do that? They're not doing real news. They're doing news to skewed in a way to affect you and to brainwash you and to supporting a foreign government. So turn that trash off. So why would you jump in a dumpster fire? And then if, look, everyone in their own religions, okay?

And in their background. So I was originally Muslim, I'm atheist now. But when I see a Muslim guy on television, which there's plenty of them, they go, oh yeah, Bill Maher, you're so right, all the Muslims are violent savages. Oh, Israel should kill them. Well, I question that mother effort. I question him very, very deeply because I think he's a sellout. He's a phony and he got paid by Israel to tell Americans about how terrible Muslims are.

Oh, yeah, I'm a Muslim, sure, yeah, my people suck. Yeah, BS. You uncle Muhammad or whatever the hell you are. Okay, and if you're a Christian, of course you should question your pastor. Ask them, did you ever get paid by Israel? Did you ever take a free trip to Israel? Have you ever gotten anything from Israel? They'll probably lie because there's, that's their whole job, it's to lie to you on behalf of Israel.

But if you keep on going and you ask around, you'll find out that almost all of them have taken free trips to Israel. Almost all of them are getting paid in some way or another by Israel. Israel, that's why they're betraying you and they're betraying the religion of Christianity. And Jewish Americans who are overwhelmingly in this country opposed to the Netanyahu government, you should definitely question your own leaders. Wait, are you representing Americans? Are you representing Jewish Americans? Or are you representing Israel?

Because there's a big difference. There's a huge difference. Are you going to represent Jewish people because that is really important and you should do that? Or are you going to betray the majority of Jewish Americans and represent the Netanyahu government instead? And why are our leaders doing that? Why are the leaders of almost every religion doing that? Why are everyone in television doing it? Why is everybody in the government doing it?

Because Israel has brilliantly, systematically purchased almost all of American leadership. And it's a brilliant investment because for every dollar they spend there, they get $1,000 back. And you know who they get it from? me and you. This is a well-organized robbery of the American people. Question your leaders. Most of them are not on your side. All right, we're way past time. Thank you, Jordan. I appreciate it. Everybody, we've got a great episode of the Revolution coming up. Robert Greenwald on how to fight back against ICE and Israel. And then we've got a guest on who was banned from speaking at Rutgers because they found social media posts that were pro-Palestinian.

How dare he supporting human beings like that? So obviously the Israelis canceled them, even though they have no power at all. Golly gee, they can cancel any speaker in any graduation, but they have no power. Absurd. We'll be right back. Do you know your brain rot index? Of course you don't.
