The Young Turks - Fighting Israel's War - March 2, 2026

Episode Date: March 3, 2026

Donald Trump tells CNN the “big wave” is still to come in the war with Iran, as reports allege a devastating Israeli airstrike killed 175 Iranian schoolgirls. Marco Rubio admits that Israel dragged the U.S. into the war, and on Piers Morgan Uncensored, a U.S. general accuses Ana of invoking a “trope” during a heated clash over the bombing campaign in Iran.

You're listening to the Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. I just saved curtains. You gotta have you head to examine. Has just been, you know, not good. But God! Jake Eugger Anna is sparing with you guys, the online news show.

So we are at war with Iran. Covered it over the weekend. And the bombing began late Friday night for us here in L.A. early morning on Saturday in Iran. So we're gonna have updates for you guys now, of course, at our regularly scheduled time. And there's a lot of them. And how far are we gonna go with this war?

There's new standards for why we're apparently in there. They've already moved the goalposts. And then is the war already here at home? And is the war spreading? Because now it looks like it's going into Lebanon. We'll give you more details about that. Did Israel plan to do that all along after this war? And speaking of things that Israel might have done, in this case might,

were they the ones who attacked Saudi Arabia instead of Iran? If that's true, that is explosive. So now we got a lot to cover. So Anna, tell us all about it. Well, why don't we begin with what we are hearing from the Trump administration, including Trump himself? I asked the president if the U.S. was doing more than these military strikes to help the Iranian people regain control of Iran against the regime, to seize the country from the Iranian regime. And he said, yes, the president said, yes, we are indeed.

But right now we want everyone staying inside. It's not safe out there. And then the president said, it's about to get even less safe. He said, quote, we haven't even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn't even happened. The big one is coming soon. This morning, President Donald Trump told CNN that we have yet to see the big wave of American military force in Iran. Jank, before I continue, your two cents. Yeah, so I'm super worried about how this is going.

It looks like we might not be reporting our full losses. and now there's immediately, of course, an escalation. So how far is the escalation going to go? What are the new standards for when we leave? That is absolutely critical. And yes, some of the standards are completely new, never mentioned before. So the goalposts are moving. We'll tell you all about it.

Now, Trump previously had stated that this war in Iran could last four weeks, but not longer than that. I remember hearing similar things when it came to the year. US is illegal invasion in Iraq in 2003. Now he says that it could be over even sooner, which seems a bit delusional considering how much things have actually escalated since this war began last Friday night. Now here's what he says, I don't want to see it going on too long. I always thought it would be four weeks and we're a little ahead of schedule.

However, Trump, known to speak from both sides of his mouth in the name of plausible deniability, also said this, quote, we haven't even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn't even happened. The big one is coming soon. Now, might I remind you all that one of the biggest issues here when it comes to the U.S. Israeli side of this conflict is the fact that the U.S. had depleted 25% of its interceptors. And those interceptors are harder to manufacture compared to the missiles that Iran is able to quickly manufacture. So in the end, we could find ourselves in a situation where we have run out of interceptors. Iran hasn't run out of their missiles, and well, you get the point.

Now during a Medal of Honor ceremony, Trump rambled at length about how he could extend the length of the war for as long as he wants because he doesn't get bored. So let's actually hear from him, from Trump himself and see if this makes any sense to you. We're already substantially ahead of our time projections, but whatever the time is, it's okay, whatever it takes, we will always, and we have right from the beginning, we projected four to five weeks, but we have capability to go far longer than that. We'll do it. Whatever somebody said today, they said, oh, well, the president wants to do it really quickly after that, he'll get bored. I don't get bored. There's nothing boring about this.

Do you agree with that, Pete? I don't think there's anything, Mr. Generals. I think there's nothing boring about it. Somebody actually said from the media, I think he'll get bored after about a week or two. No, we don't get bored. I never get bored. If I got bored, I wouldn't be standing here right now. I guarantee you that to go through what I had to go through.

No one has accused the president of getting bored. If anything, the president has been criticized over the fact that after decapitating the IRCG, right, after taking out the Ayatollah, there's really no plan in place for what happens next. But nonetheless, in that same speech, he later went on to callously discuss the White House ballroom. But please join me in thanking every American service member who bravely is standing in harm's way. They really are incredible. And I just want to thank you.

We have a lot of them right here. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. We have a lot of great service members here with us, too, in this beautiful building, isn't it? Beautiful? We're adding on to the building a little bit.

We're improving the building. See that nice drape? When that comes down right now, you see a very, very deep hole. But in about a year and a half from now, you're going to see a very, very beautiful building. And there's your entrance to it right there. In fact, it looks so nice. I don't think I'll even, I think I'll save money on the doors because it can't get more beautiful than that.

I picked those drapes in my first term. So far, we know that at least six U.S. soldiers have died in this ridiculous war in Iran. We don't know what the exact number is, though. We're guessing that it's actually higher, but the U.S. government isn't disclosing all the fatalities quite yet. Yeah, things get normalized as shouldn't be normalized. A president talking about the drapes in the middle of a super important war that we just launched is nuts. It's not normal. Like, oh, six Americans have died.

At the time, I think it was four when he was getting that speech, to be fair. And we just launched a massive war with no explanation as to why, no justification. Three quarters of the country is totally against it. He's like, I like those drapes. Maybe I won't need to spend as much on the door. What are you doing? Hey, Liberace, focus. And then what is that talk of like, oh, I don't get bored?

Who cares? Like, is that our main concern whether the president is bored with war or not? I mean, come on, man, this is absurd. And yet there's no, now you're gonna see Heggsith talking about how we didn't start the war. No, we definitely started the war, but the president is such an imbecile. I don't know what he's aware of and what he's not aware of. It's devastating. It's devastating because he really appears to be emboldened by what he managed to carry

out in Venezuela, essentially kidnapping the leader of Venezuela. That went smoothly, regardless of how illegal that operation might have been. And unfortunately, he has used that confidence to carry him through this decision to strike Iran, go to war with Iran, with no real plan in place. So there are people who support this war for their own reasons. And what they'll do is they'll point to people like us who are critical of the war by claiming that we are supportive of Iran's regime. No, no, this is not a commentary in support of Iran's regime.

This is a commentary in support of peace and actually having a plan in place. Now why are we carrying this out? Obviously it's something that the Israelis have wanted. Benjamin Netanyahu has wanted for literally decades. According to Netanyahu, Iran has been on the verge of deadly weapons and nuclear weapons for the last 50 years. So this has never really been about weapons, this has never been about nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles. This has always been about destabilizing Iran so Israel can be the hegemon in the Middle East.

And we are paying the price for that as Americans. So that's what's really going on here. It's been devastating already this morning. Trump explained why he chose to enter the war with Iran. So let's take a look at the next video and see if we get a little more clarity from the leader of this country. Following our obliteration of Iran's nuclear program in Operation Midnight Hammer a short while ago, we warned Iran not to make any attempt to rebuild at a different location because they were unable to use the ones that we so powerfully blew up. But they ignored those warnings and refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons.

In addition, the regime's conventional ballistic missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically, and this posed a very clear colossal threat to America and our forces stationed overseas. The regime already had missiles capable of hitting Europe and our bases both local and overseas and would soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America. I don't. That's, Iran had no missiles capable of hitting the United States. There was no indication that Iran even had any interest or ever expressed any interest in using its ballistic missiles against Europe.

That's a complete and utter lie. So that justification for what we just engaged in and what we got dragged into makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. He's lying to the American people there. I'm gonna go to one more video, jank, before I go to you, because in this next one, He stated the American military's objectives. Take a look at that. Our objectives are clear.

First, we're destroying Iran's missile capabilities, and you see that happening on an hourly basis and their capacity to produce brand new ones and pretty good ones they make. Second, we're annihilating their navy. We've knocked out already 10 ships. They're at the bottom of the sea. Third, we're ensuring that the world's number one, spawned. of terror, can never obtain a nuclear weapon, never going to have a nuclear weapon. I said that from the beginning.

They're never going to have a nuclear weapon. They were in the road to getting one legitimately through a deal that was signed foolishly by our country. And finally, we're ensuring that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund and direct terrorist armies outside of their borders. Now even though we very clearly started the war, Secretary of War Pete Hegesith denies the claim. He says, quote, we didn't start this war, but under President Trump we're finishing it. And then he says, this is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime sure did change and

the world is better off for it. Are we sure he's not still an alcoholic? Yeah. The regime is still in place. They might have decapitated the regime, but it's still in place. And there's no plan for what happens next. We didn't start the war. What do you mean we didn't start the war?

Like we, the whole world saw us start the war. Okay, so look, I'm gonna get into serious parts of the moving goalposts in a second. But first, robot engineer is one of our members on YouTube. Hit the join button, become part of the show. He made a great point, I just wanted to reiterate real quick. He said he doesn't get bored referring to Trump. And two minutes later, he switches topics to building a ballroom because, you know, he's Because he was bored.

Oh, that's a great point. Thank you, brother. I love doing the show with you guys. I wish I had a thought of that early. That's exactly right. Now, along the same lines, our bombs we powerfully blew up their facilities. Just talk like a grown up for a second. And now to the important stuff.

Ballistic missiles, they were about to reach us. No, that's a new layer of lie. Anna's right. Like they can't reach, the ballistic missiles have no chance of reaching us, not even close, right? And then they say, well, you know, that's true, but they can't, actually they don't say it's true, Trump just made it up, totally utterly made it up in that clip. But earlier they were acknowledging that they can't reach us, but they're like, but they could reach our bases in the Gulf Coast, well, I mean in the Gulf region, that's a good reason

not to start the war. That's right. Right? And so, but they say, well, as you're going to see later in the show, Marco Rubio is saying, well, Israel was going to start it either way, and then we would, our troops would have been in greater danger. So they're the boss of us and they were gonna put our troops in danger. So we had to launch to do as the Israeli's command.

So this is all super obvious. Now the moving goalpost, you saw them there? We're destroying their name. Caroline Levitt then went on X and responded to Matt Walsh of all people. And even Matt Walsh working into daily wires like, what the hell's going on? Like this isn't any, he's like, this isn't anything that we promised. We didn't promise this during the election and I'm confused. Your boss has been egging it on, you know, you know what's going on.

Yeah, and I guess that's him beginning to say, hey, look, look, look, I'm not with these other guys. But you are. Okay. But you are with those other guys. Yeah. So anyways, he said the things we've been saying this entire time, which is, hey, wait a minute, you said we already destroyed their nuclear facility. So what's why are you bringing up nuclear again? And you said that we were gonna do regime change this weekend, well before Matt Walsh, I was saying in every video and every tweet, all right, we did regime change.

Ayatollah's dead. Their top 49 guys are dead. Let's go home. And at that point, we hadn't lost a single person yet, not one. And everybody like the old Israel first in the comments are like, no, we have to stay much, much, much, much, much longer until they have no defenses at all against Israel. What is this? What is this?

Can we pause for a second and just talk about the six Americans? soldiers who died for Israel, American soldiers who died for Israel so Israel can build its empire. We don't know their identities, we don't know how young or old they are, we don't know if they have children. Just the thought of them losing their lives to an illegal war that doesn't benefit the United States in any way, shape or form, these are people who signed up to protect our country and instead got dragged into a war and lost their lives on behalf of a foreign country that has illegal nuclear weapons at clandestine nuclear program. And if you want to talk about state sponsor of terror,

this will be fun. Let's talk about first dates. We've all been there. You're trying to figure someone out, so you ask the important stuff up front. What are you looking for?

We should be having a discussion about Israel, but unfortunately we live in an environment that is controlled by Zionist media. Let's keep it real. And if the media isn't adequately pro-Zionist enough, the Ellison's will buy it and turn it into a pro-Zionist outlet.

So I wanna talk a little bit- Wait, sorry, I didn't finish about Caroline Levin. So then she tweets under Mount Walsh or her response to Matt Walsh, because of course she's not gonna respond to anyone until they see, oh my God, it's eating our support is so thin now. Even people of the daily wire are questioning this war, right? So she panics and responds and she says, now remember, yeah, we might have destroyed their nuclear facilities and get killed to everyone.

in charge, but we haven't destroyed their entire neighbor yet. Wait, what? Nobody said anything about destroying their navy before the war, and you saw Trump mentioning in that video. What is this new standard about destroying their entire Navy? Why do we have to, is it, was their Navy going to cross the Atlantic or the Pacific and get to California or to Rhode Island? Why are we, why do we have to destroy their entire Navy?

And what kind of standard is that? Oh, no, they still have a dingy left, Israel says to stay. And then, but if that wasn't absurd enough, Levitt also added one other thing. We have to destroy all their IEDs. Wow. What? Wow. What?

How do we even know where the road bombs are? Why don't we just drop a nuke? I mean, I'm sure Israel will be very pleased by that. They keep moving the goalposts. You're totally right. You're totally right. Because guys, it isn't about the IEDs or their navy or their ballistic missiles or their nuclear program. It's about regime change.

And so in order to get regime change, well, I mean, we already killed them all. No, no, no, no, no, no. Israel has to put a puppet in place. Exactly. Because if they change to new Iranians, they're like, well, we don't want Iranians. If they change to democracy, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We don't want the Iranian people making decisions because they would also be against Israel. We have to physically put in a puppet.

And until we do that, America's gonna stay in the war. In fact, if more Americans get killed, great, then we'll be able to reel in America even easier into this war. So that's what's happening here. That's why they move the goal post immediately. And there's no one that could deny that. Show me one some bitch who gonna lie and tell us that we went to war to destroy their IEDs, their roadside bombs.

Roadside bombs where, by the way? Oh, you wanna destroy their roadside bombs? Why? Because you're bringing ground troops, which Trump also said. When asked in a different interview, how about ground troops, he said, well, I'm not taking anything off the table, we might do ground troops. So when he says that, it usually happens. At least that's what I've noticed when it comes to foreign policy.

So you're not going to get regime change unless you have troops on the ground. And right now we don't have troops on the ground. It appears that Trump is at least considering it and that would be disastrous. And I just want to remind you all, we're talking about a country of 92 million people, destabilizing it would be disastrous for those people, obviously. But at the same time, people are going to try to flee Iran. And then we're going to have another refugee crisis on our hands. And then we're going to hear from all of our allied countries that are now taking in a giant

amount of refugees, Iranian refugees, that they don't like the Islamification of their country. Just wait for it because it's going to happen. They've been silent. They have allowed all of this to happen without raising any concerns. Now they'll suffer the consequences. Will Israel take in any of the refugees? Of course not. In fact, we suffer the costs while they get the benefits.

In fact, Anna, real quick on that, again, some Israel first guy on social media is like, has Turkey taken in refugees? Yeah, actually millions from Syria. And they're like, yeah, but you didn't take any Palestinians. No, you're trying to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians. So wait, wait, wait, let me get the strike. So you want Europe or whoever else to take in five and a half million Palestinians from the West Bank of Gaza Strip and all the other displaced people from the wars like the Syrian

war, et cetera, and now we're gonna have displaced Iranians and they're gonna have to go to Europe. They're gonna say, ah, look at these Muslims, they're the real problem. Bomb another Muslim country for me. Bomb another one, bomb another one. America, you better do what we say, otherwise you're all anti-Semites. And so by the way, this is no joke, Neftali Bennett, or former prime minister, and one of the leading candidates, and he's not the only one at all, but he made it absolutely clear, Turkey's next.

Turkey's next. Okay, so. Turkey's in NATO. Now do you know why they've been trying to destroy NATO the whole time and wreck our alliance? Because if Turkey's in NATO, then they can't move on it. But look at how arrogant they are. They're like, oh, we've already gotten America to do our dirty work in Iran, however long that'll take those idiots.

Okay, now we're moving on to Turkey. They're already on to the next. The wars are never going to end unless we cut off our relationship with Israel. 100%. We need to decouple right now. We gotta take a break, but when we come back, we'll hear from the Israelis, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and what he has to say about all this. Stick around. We must stop the terror. I picked those drapes in my first term. I just saved curtains.

All right, back on TYT. Let's go to YouTube members first now. Nick BF 1991 says, my dad's a 64 year old Kansas Democrat who was in education for almost 40 years. I informed him of the Israel problem this past summer, usually citing TYT. Today, all he watches is Jenkinana. Hope. I love it, okay, tell everybody we got the truth over here, okay? If you're watching mainstream media, it's a joke. They're not even talking about how Israel pushes in this war at all, at all. Like they'll yank you from the air if you mention that, right? Like, I mean, Israel happens to coincidentally being, you know, attacking Iran at the same time as us,

but don't criticize beloved Israel. Okay, anyway, Moss 2-2 says, born too late to deploy to the Middle East, born too early to deploy the Middle East, but born just in time to deploy the Middle East. Because you're right, no matter when you're born, Israel's going to have a fresh new war for you to go to, or for your sons and daughters to go die in, okay? Lane Esmo writes in Lane Sabo. I don't know how to pronounce it, but you're awesome because they wrote in, new member, love the passion. Thank you.

Guys, can I just jump in real quick? So in terms of deaths, civilian deaths in Iran, the numbers so far is reported to be 742. So we're talking about civilian deaths specifically. We'll keep you updated as more data comes in, but it's already been incredibly devastating for the very people that Israel claimed they wanted to free and liberate. Yeah, no, they cared so much about the Iranian people. That's why they dropped a bomb on an elementary school and killed 170. girls. That's why they've already bombed several hospitals in Iran, the

humanitarian in Israel. The lunatics in the establishment still think Israel is like angelic ally of ours. Like when we criticize Israel like this, they're aghast. They're like, haven't you been canceled yet? It's unreal. They're on a different planet. Kuloh, Kuloh, writes in, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of Amarreal. America and Israel put together, and it's kind of appropriate. Am I real? Elite 4-6-2-2-6 says they're running out of means to stay in a war in four to five weeks.

That's how I'm understanding this. Well, the Gulf nations are, and so hence our bases are problematic. But we're spending all of our resources protecting Israel. So, hey, we don't have time for Americans. You know, American bases, hey, they get hit. Even better reason to stay. So don't protect the bases too much. Protect beloved Israel.

The most important thing in the whole world. Anyway, Joseph Stewart says, man, I'm angry. I'm just happy my home country of Australia isn't blindly following the U.S. into Iran as we did in Iraq. The Iraq war marked my political awakening. Apparently, Joseph, you got awoke, had an awakening, and the rest of mainstream media didn't. Remember, they're like, oh, we learned a lesson from Iraq. Oh, really? Where are you? The only thing with Australia though is they're arresting Australians for their criticism of Israel, for their freedom of speech.

Well, apparently there's no freedom of speech there. You should all question your leaders all across the world and an enormous percentage of them work for Israel in ludicrous ways. Now you can't criticize Israel in Saudi Arabia and Australia and most European countries and America. What is that? What is that? That's ludicrous. All right, Hiff and Ait writes in, UK joined the war when they let America use their base. They did because they also work for Israel. The idiot leaders totally bent in it.

I picked those drapes in my first term. I just saved curtains. We must stop the terror. Now watch his drive. All right, back on TYT. So I can read one comment from Supercheck because I appreciate your brother. Make it make sense, 1988, said, Jen, when you're right, you're right.

Even Matt Washington was critical of this war, you'll probably be fired from daily wire soon, but you called it, conservatives don't want this war, of course. And so yeah, nobody wants it. The right wing doesn't want it, that's why they voted for Trump. They got totally hoodwinked by Trump. Our guys always vote for war. Everybody's always for God damn Israel.

And no, no, no, Americans, 75% of you don't want it. Shut up, you anti-Semites. Israel wants it and you're going to get this war shoved down your throat. Line up your boys to get killed. Melody loves music and CDNorstogda. Thank you for gifting memberships. This community is awesome. You allow us to tell the truth, Anna.

All right, well, let's get to our next story. Lots to share. I'm going to actually begin with what the Israelis are up to and more importantly, what we're hearing from Marco Rubio. So apparently threats from Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israelis is what led to the United States carrying out the first strikes against Iran. In fact, Marco Rubio says that there was absolutely an imminent threat, and it was that we knew that if Iran was attacked by Israel, and we believe that they would be attacked, that they would be immediately, they would immediately come after us,

and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow. In other words, Israel was going to attack, and if they did that, Iran was going to attack the United States, so we decided to attack first. That was the rationale. If you think that's a good reason to attack a country, and if you think that Israel is somehow an ally to the United States, hopefully you are as far away from making decisions about foreign policy as humanly possible. Now let's check in with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who wrote on X, quote, we are in a campaign in which we are bringing the full might of the IDF as never before to this battle to ensure our existence and our future.

Mind you, we're talking about a country that has a clandestine nuclear program and is not in any way threatened. Its existence is not threatened in any way. He continues, but we're also bringing to this campaign the support of the United States, my friend, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and the US military. Six of our soldiers have already died for Israel in this war. He continues, this combination of forces enables us to do what I have longed to do for 40 years. to strike the terrorist regime hip and thigh.

That is what I promised and what, and that is what we will do. Speaking of the Israeli government, by the way, today Secretary of State Marco Rubio did make that statement that I read to you earlier. I wanted to read you what he said. Now I want you to watch what he said. Take a look. The second question that been asked is, why now? Well, there's two reasons why now.

The first is it was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone, the United States or Israel or anyone, they were going to respond and respond against the United States. The orders had been delegated down to the field commanders. It was automatic, and in fact, it beared to be true because, in fact, within an hour of the initial attack on the leadership compound, the missile forces in the south and in the north, for that matter, had already been activated to launch. In fact, those already been pre-positioned. The third is the assessment that was made that if we stood and waited for that attack to come first,

before we hit them, we would suffer much higher casualties. And so the president made the very wise decision. We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces. And we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher those killed. And then we would all be here answering questions about why we knew that and didn't act. He continued to say, we knew that there was going to be an Israeli action.

We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces. And we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we'd suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher than those killed. So let me just say, then the enemy is Israel. The enemy is Israel. If you're worried about Israel launching an attack, which would then make American soldiers in the region vulnerable to Iran's attacks, then Israel is not an ally. But he would never say that, of course.

Yeah, there was two admissions there. So first is, so Israel did push us into the war. Of course. You said, well, Israel was going to attack so we didn't have a choice. Well, here's a choice. Hey, Israel, we've given you $330 billion. If you attack without getting our permission, you won't get a single more dollar and we will not help your attack. Who's the boss of who?

Because if you just listen to Marco Rubio there, you would think that Israel is the much larger nation. We're the tiny little nation, and we got to listen to them because they're so powerful. Well, if Israel was going to go, then we were forced to go. Why? He just admitted we have no control over Israel, and they have complete control over us. But the second part is even worse. Did Israel use that as leverage against us? Hey, we could go without you.

And if we do, then your guys will be caught off guard and a lot more Americans will die. So you better attack when we tell you. That's what it sounded like he said. That's exactly, but that's what happened, Jank. That's what happened. These are not our allies. That's not an ally, man. They use and abuse.

They don't care about our lives. They don't care about our soldiers' lives. They suck the life out of this country. And now they're looking to India to see if they could suck the life out of that country. And looks like Narendra Modi opening up his legs to Israel. Congratulations. Yeah, that can't happen soon enough, by the way. Okay, I would love to have Israel off our backs because they are destroying our country.

They dragged us into previous conflicts and wars that we should have not been involved in at all. And now we're sucked into this war, which has escalated. It's become a regional war. Okay, I just real quick, I met a Muslim man from India today. He's not the end all bill, just one guy. But what he told me was, yeah, Israel is now working with the Indian government. And what Israel is doing is driving hatred towards Muslims, just like they did here in the U.S. So that India will help Israel attack their Muslim neighbors.

Unfortunately, that was already a thing in India. And yeah, but no, no, no, exactly right. So they, oh, they're like, oh, there's a little bit of a fire there. Let's pour fuel on that fire. And so, and he said now his relatives are getting attacked. in northern India because they've riled up to Hindus so much. Remember, hate the Muslims, hate the Muslims. Same guys who complain about bigotry nonstop.

Anti-Semitism, they're like hate the Muslims in India, in America, everywhere. Their whole driving agenda is hate the Muslims so you help murder them for us and so we can take their land. And these are the guys complaining about bigotry. Please, the Israelis, we have to get them out of our government completely. Let India deal with them. Okay, or wherever they're gonna go next. But get them root and, all right, anyway, get them out of our government because they're dunk in, they're dug in.

So look at our secretary of state like a dog going there, go, well, Israel ordered us to, so we had to go. Otherwise, more Americans would have died. And so obviously, since we can't disagree with the mighty Israelis, before more Americans died for Israel, we had to attack so other Americans would die for Israel. So my last question in that regard is, who's going to be the last American to die for Israel in this war? Already six Americans dead, and we're going to keep track, and every day they're going to add new dead Americans for Israel's war. This has nothing to do with us.

Nothing. Their ballistic missiles can't reach us. Their nuclear facilities are obliterated twice over. Their entire regime is killed, 49 dead, including the Ayatollah. nothing to do with us. But no, all of the politicians, the disgusting corrupt politicians in D.C., the disgusting corrupt media, all telling us, no, you have to bow your head. And if you dare object to Israel, we're going to call you names and try to eliminate you

from the national conversation. But they have no control here. I want to move on to other news related to this insanely stupid war against Iran. And it has to do with the very first act carried out by the Israelis. So let's get to it. Israel kicked off the war against Iran by bombing a girls elementary school, which the New York Times reports has caused 175 people, mostly little girls, to die. Now, of course, Israel is pretending like they don't know what happened.

They haven't confirmed that they're the ones behind the strike. I'll give you the details and you all can decide for yourselves. Now before I get to those details, Jank, you're two cents. Yeah, I was told that the Israelis cared so much about the Iranian people. That's why they had to go liberate them. So what they did was they liberated 175 elementary schoolgirls lives. And they're all dead now. And here's Israel again.

And now since they've completely shredded the rules of war, they are now doing to Iran what they did to Gaza. They've already hit several hospitals. So Anna, tell them all the details, and then we'll talk about why we have to get the hell out of this war before Israel does massive damage to us. I mean, a little too late for that, but I hear what you're saying. Currently, as we speak, the death toll in Iran, according to officials in Iran, has reached 742.

Now the first mass casualty event we heard about happened to be this particular school for girls, an elementary school for little girls. And the search for any survivors under the rubble of the Shajara Taiba school in the southern town of Minab ended yesterday, meaning we now know the full death toll and it's 175 individuals. So half of the two story elementary school has been completely destroyed. And so far, this has been the deadliest attack in the ongoing American-Israeli bombing campaign in Iran. Now, the head of Iran's Red Crescent said in a video posted on social media, that the Menab school incident has no comparison with any other incident, even in Gaza.

And what he's referring to there is the number of casualties in a single attack. And as far as I know, he's correct about that, which is really saying something considering the horrors we've seen in Gaza. He added that no other strike has killed as many children simultaneously. Now the school is adjacent to a naval base belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps or the IRCG. Now back in 2013, the school building was part of the base. However, by September of 2016, satellite images showed that the same building had been

completely walled off from the military base and was no longer connected to the base at all. So if you hear anyone from the Israeli government claim, well, I mean the elementary school kids had it coming, it was part of a military base. Just understand the kind of propaganda you're up against here. Okay, absolute garbage talking point. But anyway, even if that school had been part of an IRCG military base, targeting it, attacking it, would still be a massive war crime. Even if schools are used for military purposes, the law requires armed parties to avoid or minimize harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross. But as we know, the whole notion of international law

has been unilaterally dismantled by the Israelis. So with that in mind, it's worth noting that this elementary school was one of two schools that were attacked on Saturday. Two students were also killed following a strike that took place on the Hedayat's high school in Tehran. Now, the Times also notes that the Israeli military did not respond for requests for comment, which I think is important to keep in mind. I mean, if they wanted to deny it, that would be a good opportunity to do so. Israel and the U.S. has been A-B testing its talking points surrounding this whole bombing of the elementary school, put some feelers out for, oh, maybe this was actually a false flag

carried out by the Iranians. No one was buying that. So then they moved to say that the strike was really a failed IRGC missile attack. But it is worth mentioning that the first retaliatory strikes by Iran were carried out two hours after the school was bombed by Israel. So geo confirmed has also said that there is no evidence that the explosion was caused by a failed IRGC missile launch. and that the more plausible explanation based on available evidence is that the school was hit during a broader strike that was taking place against the IRGC military base nearby. Now, Israeli President Isaac Herzog essentially admitted to the attack while attempting to deny it.

So here's what I mean. Take a look. Do you know what happened there? No, we don't know. And we are trying to verify and we don't have any facts to that effect. And we don't shy away from checking anything. But we also have to understand that part of the strategy of this jihadist movement is to base its infrastructure of terror, let's say missiles, longer in missiles, and civilian surroundings. So I don't know.

Interesting. What did you think about a statement there, Jank? Okay, every Israeli accusation is a confession. Mossad's headquarters is right in the middle of Tel Aviv. So when Iran sent missiles over to Mossad's headquarters the first war in June, the Israelis were like, I can't believe they might hit our civilians. Just because we surrounded Mossad's headquarters with all these civilians. So that's their strategy and they try to put it on everyone else.

They're disgusting. So Jonathan Krenrikas, who's now mouthpiece for the Israeli government but previously worked as a commander for the IDF was on Pierce Morgan Showteman. with Glenn Greenwald. Glenn Greenwald made that same point. And guess what Konrique said? He confirmed it. Totally confirmed that that's, yeah, that's true of Tel Aviv.

That's true of what we do with our military in, you know, densely populated areas of Israel. And so, and he even said, yeah, these are legitimate targets. Yeah, okay. So what's amazing about that is, so if like an insurgent group like Hamas in Gaza had a headquarters, Israel would bomb it immediately. That's why they don't have a headquarters. When Iran has different headquarters, they know that it's likely targets for Israel if there's a war, right?

So, so like, especially for the Palestinians, they literally can't. They have no choice because if they did a headquarters, they'd be immediately eliminated. They wouldn't even need a war for that, right? So, but Israel has all the choice in the world. And they chose to put Masad's headquarters right in the middle of their civilians. So that's, that's who Israel is. Anyways, now, one other thing, remember the first missile that hit a hospital in Gaza, and the Israelis went nuts, it's an errant missile, they said, just like this one.

It's all, it's all the Palestinians fault, all the dirty Muslims fault. We would never hit a hospital. Then they hit every single hospital in Gaza. Multiple times. They hit the hospitals over and over and over on purpose because they kill more civilians that any terrorist group there is as a percentage. 83% of the people they kill are civilians. Hamas is 67%.

They're much worse terrorists than Hamas. They've killed at least 70 times the number of people that Hamas has innocent civilians. And our press goes, yeah, but Hamas is Muslim and Israel is beloved Israel. So no, no, you only call Muslims terrorists and jihadists. But when Israel does 70 times worse, 100 times worse, if you call them terrorists, because they're way worse than Hamas and way worse than Iran in terrorism,

no, we'll call you an anti-Semite and try to eliminate you from the national conversation. So no one can speak up for Muslims because that's how deeply bigoted our mainstream presses. I want to talk a little bit about the symbolic nature of the day the strikes against Iran began. And this isn't according to me, this is according to reporting from CNN, because it's, I actually can't believe they reported this, but it's important to know. So CNN reporter Tal Shalev acknowledged the following, and this is the headline of a February 28th, 2026 CNN piece. Timing of U.S. Israel attack on Iran bears symbolic meaning in Judaism, as Netanyahu references holiday of Purim? Am I saying that correctly?

Not really, but it's okay. How do you say it? I'm not sure either. Porum, poor them. Okay, fine. So here's what Netanyahu is quoted as saying. 2,500 years ago in ancient Persia, a tyrant rose against us with the very same goal to utterly destroy our people.

Netanyahu said of the story. The Polish people? Said of the story, which takes place in what is now Iran. Today as well on PORAM, the lot has fallen and in the end, this evil regime will fall too. Now remember the first Israeli strike was on a girls elementary school in Iran, killing 175 children, mostly children. We don't know if every single one was a child, but most of them were little girls. Okay, so ahead of the upcoming Jewish holiday worshipers read a specific portion of Deuteronomy,

which of course is in the Old Testament. It commands the ancient Israelites to remember Amalek and to eradicate the memory of Amalek once the Israelites settle in their land. Amalek is often referenced as a historical enemy of the Jewish people and Netanyahu invoked it shortly after the October 7th, 2023 attack on Israel, which is why they leveled Gaza. They used this insane ideology to justify killing all those innocent civilians and leveling the Gaza Strip. So the fact that he invoked Amalek again after striking a elementary school and killing 175 people, I think is notable when you're trying to decipher who the actual terrorists are.

So look, I've said this many times, I get Israel's motivations, get the big dumb suckers over in America with tons of cash in the military to do our dirty work for us and let them die for us, let them spend their money instead of us. I get it, and by the way, I think that a lot of foreign governments would do that if they could do that. So I don't think that Israel is necessarily uniquely evil, right? They've just figured out a better way to capture our government. So the people that I'm most angry at are disgusting, cravenly politicians who go, oh, money,

I'll love to serve you, give me campaign contributions, and I'll betray all my voters. I'll make them go to war, I'll have their sons die, I'll do anything Israel commands of me. 94% of Congress gets legalized bribes from the Israeli lobby. But this second group that I'm furious at, and you see it all the time on the show, is the national media. So those guys tell us no, 94% of Congress doesn't mean they ball Congress. In fact, we're never going to tell our audience that. We're going to say, like, oh, we just, we have a special ally. We're not going to tell them the number one donor to Trump and Biden or Israel, number one donor to Mike.

Johnson and Hakeem Jeffries is Israel, 94% of Congress is Israel. We're not gonna tell them that the Israelis, now when a Palestinian or anyone who's friendly to the Palestinians supports them, says from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. That's it, Palestine will be free. They say, a monster terrorist. Netanyahu literally said we're going to have, Israel is going to have, from the river to the sea. He didn't talk about Israelis being free. He talked about taking all of that land.

The charge they actually make against Palestinians, even though that's not the saying for the Palestinians, it's Palestinians will be free. So, okay, so then you would imagine, since we had congressional hearings and giant national media outrage over that chant, that they would have gone nuts over and you never mention it. Now this is a second reference to Amalek, which is kill men, women, children, animals, kill them all. I mean, if a Palestinian had said that or any Muslim had said that, they'd be like, you genocidal,

Anti-Semitic, put them in prison, right? Congressional hearings, the leader of Israel who's actually killing men, women, and children by the tens of thousands. And immediately in the Iran war goes, bomb the hospitals, bomb the elementary schools. Hey, it's not like he didn't say he was gonna do it, he said he was gonna do it. Exactly. But our media, our lying, disgusting media, won't ever tell you that. You can look it up.

These are verified quotes, but our media covers up. They're not job, isn't to cover the news, it's to cover up the news. So I asked CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, MS now or later, Fox News, why are you all covering up the news on behalf of a foreign country? It is super weird, super weird. And you're basically declaring, no, we don't care about the American people, we're gonna lie to you on behalf of the Israelis. We're gonna pretend that the Muslims are the aggressors,

even though Israel has taken more and more land. We have eyes, we can see the map. They've continually expand their territory, continually are deeply bigoted against Muslims, drive bigotry in this country against Muslims, so we attack their neighbors, they constantly murder civilians at grotesque rates, and our media goes, no, they're the victim.

Nah, that's it. No, no, no, no, there's gonna be a head-on collision here, Because the establishment isn't going to move an inch. They're going to be pro-Israel 200% until the very last minute. And the American people are getting angrier and angrier. Now, three quarters of us said, don't go to Iran. Do not bum them. And we did it anyway.

And we did it anyway. Now the polls have switched to Democrats, Republicans, independents. They're all saying, stop funding Israel, right? No, no, no, shut up Americans. If you don't submit to Israel, you're all anti-Semites. That's what our goddamn media says every day and our scum politician. So American people, the establishment, boom, head on collision. I don't know what's going to happen.

And you know what, when it happens, whose fault it is? It is 100% the establishment's fault. Because no matter how many times the American people overwhelmingly said, we don't want to serve Israel anymore. We don't want our kids dying for Israel. We don't want to spend trillions of dollars for Israel. The establishment said, shut up and serve Israel. Well, you're going to have a collision.

I don't know what form that takes. I don't want it. I hate the idea of it. But they're going to create a giant mess in this country because they just will not serve Americans ever, ever. They demand loyalty to a foreign government, and we're never going to give it. When we come back, I want to talk a little bit about the callous nature of members of our own government

when it comes to dead American soldiers and more when we come back. First comes strength, then comes peace. On TYT, let's start again with YouTube members from the Ocean 80 says, can I ask a question? Just because I don't really know too much about the difference between Zionism and Judaism. Is it different? Yes, brother. Yes. Yes, very different.

Very different. Yes, so and thank you for asking, okay, because it's really important and I want to clarify to everybody. Zionism is nationalism, okay? It's saying that Israel, the nation, deserves to exist and deserves to have everything, everything. Now Zionists say greater Israel, which means almost the entire Middle East, they're owed that land, God whispered it to them, blah, blah, blah, blah. Judaism is a religion.

There's nothing wrong with Judaism. So like do not get on Jewish people, do not attack Judaism itself. Zionism perverts Judaism and says, oh, if you support the Jewish state or Jewish people, you have to be in favor of territorial expansion for Israel, the displacement of Palestinians, genocide, endless wars. That is not what Judaism says, that's what Zionism says, okay? So, and in fact there's a lot of rabbis who are furious with Israel, and they predicted this earlier. They said, this is going to cause huge problems for Jewish people, because you keep

doing war and keep saying that it's Jews that are doing it, right? By the way, you want to know who was most against forming Israel? Not most, but among the most fervent opponents of the idea of Zionism, Albert Einstein. So he was around at the time, Jewish American, obviously at that point, and said, don't, don't, don't, I can see where this is going. It's going to be terrible for Jews, let alone anyone else. Unfortunately, he's a very bright guy, he was right. But do not have it go to Jews or Judaism. This is about nationalism in Israel, that's a problem.

Joseph Stewart says, this might be a stupid question, but how easy for it be, would it be for the US to cut Israel off completely? And if they did, how vulnerable would they actually be? A, we could do it tomorrow. So all this, like, they set up this mythology of like, oh my God, Israel, no, no, no, why do we have to support them? We don't support Bolivia, they're okay, right? We don't support anybody else, they're fine, right?

So no, and are they going to be okay? Why do I care? I don't care at all. And yes, they'll be fine. They have nukes. They have iron dome. They have a bigger military than the rest of the Middle East combined. The idea that they're a victim or that they're poor little defenseless Israel is 100% fabrication

by mainstream media in America who purposely lied to you to make it seem like Israel was a victim when they're in fact the aggressor and have a much bigger military than anyone else. The raging atheist said, Anna, despite this crap show we're all. I have to say that shirt really brings out the green in your eyes. Such a stunner, hashtag girl crush. So nice lighter. Congratulations for being the first person to make me smile today.

Yeah, I know, right? All right, Shortinger's Dragon writes in, I like the fighter designation F-15, knowing that the pilots feel safer, that they worked the bugs out in the previous 14 versions, L.O.L. Did they, though? DJ Payne says, as a vet, I'm so disgusted by this administration and embarrassed for our country. Night of Mirage Odyssey says, Mark my words and it's already begun. Gas prices spike to $3.50 a 50 cents a gallon in my area and maybe more, more expensive

commutes, higher heating cooling bills, increased costs for groceries and goods. Yes, but Israel had to have it. They had to kill more people in Iran. You can't deny him that. Pay more. Pay more for Israel, okay? William Melmore says, we're told there's no money for health care or housing, but somehow there's always money for war.

How much will this escalation cost taxpayers? Because for healthcare or housing, that would go to you. It wouldn't go to Israel, so they would never do that. All right, back on TYT. James Kelly, thank you for writing in on Super Chat. Thank you guys for covering the war. Without independent media like TYT, we wouldn't hear the full story of what's happening in this war.

You most certainly would not. You would just get the BS Israeli propaganda version on CNN. Oh no, Larry Ellison bought it. It'll now be Israeli propaganda. Too late, it was already Israeli propaganda. They run all their stories about Israel through their Jerusalem Bureau. They have to get the permission of the Israelis. Have we whitewashed it enough?

Have we done enough propaganda for you guys? Nancy J. Hensley and Ash Sylvester, thank you for joining. We appreciate you guys. They hit the join button below. Last thing real quick guys, we are, we're trying to save you money. That's how we pick sponsors. T.y.com, switch. You switch your cell phone service to Noble mobile.

Nothing on your phone changes and your bills go down dramatically. If you're paying over $50, there's no need to do it, you're throwing money away. It takes about five to 10 minutes to switch. I did it myself and the cell phone service works great. It's a T-Mobile service. So, and they have $40 off the first month, and they give you money back if you don't use your data. So I never pay past the 30s. So save you a ton of money.

TYT.com slash switch. Anna. All right, let's get to our next story. my question, why is that considered a trope? Why is it considered a trope to be concerned about American soldiers during these endless, nonsensical wars? Why is that considered a trope? How many times have you gone to Arlington and paid your respect to American heroes? I'm not talking to you, Cornelriguez, you terrorist piece of crap. I'm talking to the general. Tell me why that's- Please keep the ad homin them down. I want to honor. I want to be

of American soldiers. Can we go back to the time? Have you paraded? Answer the question. Well, I was accused of engaging in a trope. today while on Pierce Morgan uncensored, Jank. Before I show you the ridiculous argument, your two cents? Yeah, so first of all, they attacked me on that show, so I'll respond. Second of all, I know some folks grew up and they're good people thinking that they're all these tropes are real and you have to like you know squash the tropes and stuff. No, they're weaponized by Israel to try to stop anyone from criticizing them.

Sometimes they're made up on the spot as you're about to see. Yeah, and I'll give you another example of another totally made up trope. So I'm sick of their trope, trope, trope, trope, because after you weaponized it, then I'm sorry, but I'm not going to care. Oh, but I used it to defend myself when I murdered 20,000 children. Oh, trope, no, I don't care, I don't care. You've lost the right for me to care while you, when you weaponized every single one of them to kill more people, take more land, and use a more of our money to do it. Enough with the moral stains that Israel has put on us. Go ahead, Anna. So it all started when I had the displeasure of realizing that the disbarred Goldie Gamari

was on this panel. Now, she's one of the women who were laughing as Jank on the last episode of the Pierce Morgan show was discussing the death of American soldiers as we keep getting dragged into these wars in the Middle East on behalf of Israel. So I asked her if she was willing to apologize for her conduct the last time she appeared on his show. Let's see how that went down. First, I would like to ask Goldie whether she apologizes for laughing as Jank Yugar on the last episode he was on was talking about dead American soldiers as a result of wars that the U.S. gets dragged into on behalf of Israel.

Goldie, do you apologize for laughing at the thought of dead American soldiers? Anna, no one's buying your jihadi propaganda lies. Everyone knows that Eilke and I were laughing. Oh, it's jihadi propaganda to be concerned about dead American soldiers who are forced to fight on behalf of Israel. Interesting. Okay, to answer your question, Pierce, can I answer the question? 175 little girls have been slaughtered in an Iranian school. That was the first Israeli strike into place.

Here's me. Hang on one second, Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna, hang on one second. You asked her a question, so I will let Goldie respond. Then you can respond to my question. Well, she responded by claiming I'm sharing jihadi propaganda. I'm talking about dead American soldiers. So do you apologize or not? Now, the real question is, is she going to apologize?

Because the first thing that came out of her mouth was, oh, you're spewing jihadi propaganda. Okay, whatever. We know that American soldiers have died as a result of fighting these wars on behalf of Israel. Including in Iraq, what was the death toll in Iraq again, Jank, for American soldiers? Well, we had, I think, over 5,000 dead, over 50,000 injured, lots and lots in casualties. In Afghanistan and Iraq, yeah. Yeah, and overall, the global war on terror, which was the global war on Israel's enemies, has cost us $8 trillion.

We've buried a lot of soldiers for Israel already. We sure have. So is she going to apologize? Because again, she was laughing as Jank was talking about this on the show. Let's take a look. Thank you. So we were laughing at Chang's bizarre anti-Semitic tropes about how Israel is responsible for every single incident that happens in the war. We were not laughing at American soldiers. And you actually edited the video. You edited the video. So there you go. Everyone knows that you're lying. You're a laughing stock. You're a joke.

Everyone can go back and watch the episode for Pierce's show. And that's true. I'm not the editor for Pierce Morgan uncensored. So you guys are can check out the episode for yourselves and see that she was cracking up as Jenk was talking about something incredibly serious, which is the loss of American soldiers as they fight these wars on behalf of a foreign country. Now later, and this is the relevant part, General Mark Kimet, who is, I don't know this, but he happens to be the US Assistant Secretary of State, you know, he made a bold claim. Let's take a look at what that claim was.

Anna, please quit using the tropes on American soldiers. I've had to bury seven American soldiers. They went into the battlefield. How was it a trope? How is it a trope? How is it a trope to see American soldiers die on behalf of Israel's wars? How is that a trope? Explain that to me.

He's dying on behalf of Israel. I'm not gonna dignify that with a response. Let me read you what Israeli media has been saying. So American soldiers came under friendly fire in Kuwait. I don't know if any of them have died. Hopefully none of them have died. But on Channel 12, Niv Raskin said this. We need to emphasize this is an incident involving American forces and not heaven forbid

an incident involving Israeli forces. Okay, so I read that comment. Guys, I can't emphasize enough. If you want to know what's actually going on, please watch and read. Israeli media. And Kimmit was unable to defend what he just smeared me with. In fact, I wouldn't let it go. And so I'm going to go to one last video and then we'll open it up to you, Jank. Take a look. I'd like to answer my question. Why is that considered a trope? Why is it considered a trope to be concerned about American soldiers during these endless, nonsensical wars?

Why is that considered a trope? How many times have you gone to Arlington and paid your respect to American heroes? I'm not talking to you, Cornel, you terrorist piece of crap. I'm talking to the general. Okay, tell me why that's the word of the trope. How many times have you honored the memory of American soldiers? Can we go back to the, if you've paraded? Answer the question. I think, be fair to Anna Gospheran, just answer her question, why you view that as a trope,

the what she said. I'm not going to dignify it with a response. You just want to smear me with nonsensical claims, but you can't even answer why you even believe in the smear. What is the trope? You can't answer it, right? That's a, that's a former military general. Yeah, Anna, you messed him up, man.

So look, he says, oh, Anna, you're doing a trope, which means you're an anti-Semite who's using a trope against Jewish people. And then you go, well, what's the trope? I don't even understand what you're saying. He's like, I'm not going to dignify that with it. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, didn't why did you call, say that she was doing a trope? Like it's a literal question, we're not like, oh, we're debating you. We don't even understand what you're doing.

you're saying. So it turns out he didn't have an answer. No, he didn't. Because what they get, these idiots, they get these talking points. Now remember when you're debating anyone that's an actual American and actually looking out for American interest, just call them an anti-Semite. It doesn't really matter what they say. Just say it's a trope, because there's a million tropes.

So like maybe we'll find one later, but it doesn't matter, just call them an anti-Semite. And if you notice, I like peers, okay, so I'm not in the big case. camp of like, oh, Pierce is bad. And he did something against me in this show? He did, yeah. Yeah, it's okay. I'm a grown man. I could, I'll handle peers, okay?

But if you notice there, when Goldie called Anna jihadist, there was no, say, hey, no, no, no, no ad hominem attacks. To be fair, to be fair, to peer, sorry to interrupt you, but to be fair to him, he knows I can handle myself. Okay, no, no, but wait a minute though. So it gets pointed out as an ad hominumptu, but to be fair to him. common in a common attack when you call cornicus or whatever his stupid name is, a terrorist. But when you're called a terrorist, that's not at home. That's true. That's true. Good point.

Yeah, why? Because Israel and their supporters are allowed to smear everyone else. But if you say anything, anything about them, how dare you? Those are precious Israelis. They who matter so much more than every other human being. Okay, so by the way, I just want to make sure that I get the correct facts to you guys. I said that off the top of my head, the Iraqi casualties. It was 4,500 casualties, dead Americans, and 32,000 injured in Iraq. And obviously, hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Iraq all liberated because Israel said they were their number one enemy at the time.

And oh my God, they were helping the proxy groups. They were helping Hamas and Hezbollah. So America had to lose 4,500 of our best men and have 32,000 lose their legs, get concussions, et cetera. Also Israel could stop Iraq from helping proxy groups. And now here we are again. By the way, our media told us they weren't going to fall for it next time. Fake weapons of mass destruction. Here we are.

Fake weapons of mass destruction. We're going to liberate the Iraqis. We're going to liberate the Iranians. It'll be easy, it'll be easy. Okay, so yeah, no, media, you're all liars. Every one of you, you all fell for it again. You didn't fall for it. You love it.

You wanted this war for Israel. You cheered it on. You cheered it on in Iraq. You cheered it on in Iran. You cheered it on in Libya. You cheered it on everywhere Israel makes us go to war. But keep the real news from the American people. Don't tell them that it's Israel.

In fact, if they say it's Israel, just call it a trope. What trope is it? I don't know, who cares? I'm not gonna dignify that with the response. Then why'd you say it? Okay, by the way, here's another one of the tropes that they throw out there that I promised you guys. So that you say, hey, you kill 20,000 kids and God's at a bare minimum. That's true, it's indisputable. In fact, IDF has now confirmed the 71,000 dead overall, including the 20,000 children.

They go, trope. What? Trope, what? They're like, oh, that's blood liable. No, no, no, no, blood liable is from like the 1800s, this absurd thing about Jewish people drinking the blood of Christian That is nothing to do with in a war you killed X number of children. Nobody said you drank their blood or they were babies or any of that stuff. Oh, so now you're using the trope 100% to cover up your faults and your war crimes and your genocide. You see how obvious that is and you'll see it not just in the past, you'll see a million of them in the past, but going forward, now in Iran, when we talk about the 175 schoolgirls they killed,

Like, oh, blood liable, blood liable. But did you or did you not kill them? I'm not gonna dignify that with an answer. Trope, trope, trope, trope, trope, trope. So look, anyway, all right, my Jewish brothers and sisters, I love you guys, this isn't about you. But I know you've been trained to believe that all the tropes are like, oh my God, they're coming to get us.

They're coming to get us. We have to defend ourselves, right? No, no, no, no. Israel has weaponized the tropes. It's not like they never existed, that blood libel thing did exist, but they've now weaponized it. And what they're doing is they're putting you in harm's way. Because when you do a legitimate criticism of Israel, they go, nope, I'm hiding behind Jewish people. You're attacking all Jews.

All Jews are responsible for all the war crimes of Israel. No, they're not. No, they're not. That's actually a trope, okay? That's actually a disgusting way to endanger Jewish Americans and Jews across the world. just because Israel wants more land, more war, more death, and wake up Jewish Americans. I've told my whole life, sorry guys, but I've got to say it. My whole life, every time there's some random idiot terrorist that does a bombing, all Muslims have to apologize.

That's it. March them all out. You all have to say you did it, and you're sorry. I didn't do it. What the hell? I got nothing to do with a rando from Afghanistan that I've never met. That has nothing to do with me at all. No, you all have to all. You dirty Muslims, they told us my whole life. Now when you say, hey, it's not Jewish people, it's Israel that's doing it, and I'm trying so hard to keep that line so it doesn't cross over and we don't get into ugly situations here in America. And what do they say?

Who cares about you trying to preserve the line? No, that's it. You criticize Israel, it's a Jewish state, you're an anti-semit. All right, okay. So where are you guys? Where are you guys? Can you stand up? Look, the young Jewish Americans have already shown up.

They're a huge part of the peace movement. There's all sorts of Robert Greenwald, Glenn Greenwald, days, and we go on with a thousand names, right? But Jewish American leaders, are you ever going to stand up and say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this genocide is not on our behalf. No, this horrible, horrific war is not on our behalf. So, nope, and of course, the answer is no way. All Muslims must apologize for all other Muslims.

But no, we will never ask any Jewish American to ever say an unkind word about Israel. And if you try, you're an anti-Semite. Okay, I got you. The double standards are maddening. All right, we got to take a break. When we come back, I want to talk a little bit about attacks on the Gulf countries, including their oil infrastructure, and some of the confusion about who carried out those attacks. We'll be right back.

And if you're not angry about that, Michael, and any of you out there, Then you're goddamn wrong, because you should be angry. Young Terps. It was genuine. He was mad. Jank Yugar, known online as one of the Young Turks, isn't afraid to throw some punches. Three, two, one. Fade up.

Jank, the Turk, Yuga. Kind of a TV station is there. The whole point is for me to yell and scream and tell you what I think. He was right out of like Wayne's World. This guy on this little rinky dink website is speaking truth to power. We've been averaging 600,000. A dozen views a day. Beating most of the cable shows in America.

We're the largest online news show in the world. We're celebrating our one billionth view. Tell us. We're coming. Warrant Politics ahead with Hank Huger. He knew that the MSNBC opportunity was an experiment. A Philan host beat CNN in the headline news combined. At some point, they want to give me a show.

Every single year, that comes out of our paycheck. We put it in, and you're saying we were suckers. When you, as a host, tells someone you're interviewing to show. Shut up. That's going to raise a red flag. That guy needed a tall glass of shut up. If President Obama's doing the wrong thing, I'm not going to tell you that he's doing the right thing so I can quote support him. He says to me, you won't believe the meeting that I just have.

The head of MSNBC talked to me. They want him off the air. Jake took an incredible risk. We're supposed to challenge the government. That's the role of the media. The Democrats and the Republicans are here to screw you. Who on the air is saying it? I wouldn't have done what he did.

That if I'm going to be a talk show host, I should be the biggest talk show host in the country. I don't think anyone else does it better. I don't think anyone's even close. Before you know it, I'll be back on your TV doing a national show. I guarantee it. Magic is showtime and say, 45 minutes.

I'm hosting today. Now, I know what you're thinking. Your face is already perfect, but you know what? I still need to apply some makeup. I'm going through this process, right? few years ago when I realized I was gonna have to put makeup on the show. I had to go through like finding out what my undertones were.

You guys know those are? I got my mad cousins. It says SPF 15 foundation broad spectrum. But apparently what I have is red undertones and I think pores are not supposed to be seen. I need all these things to be confirmed with me. These sponge things don't work for me. You gotta use your hands. This idea.

That's how the magic really happens. So we're gonna go through a tutorial. How to make the magic happen from beautiful to beautiful earth. Let's go! I've already been moisturized, that's the first thing. The most realization already happened. We go raw, all hands. There you go.

Couple streaks. This is the guy with putting on makeup. We got dots. There's some shining points that generally happen. First of all, here we go. You dust here. I'm putting way too much, but you dust. Oh, get the excess off.

You don't want chunky powder. There's like a T zone, I think, right? Mine is a double T's on because I went middle and another cross. Make sure your nose isn't all at all shiny. People get on you for it. You don't say, it's not a good point

you made on there, JR. Your nose is shiny. You guys are picky like that sometimes. I think that's about it, fellas, and ladies. See you guys next time. Bitsies. The word grocery, yeah, it's sort of simple word,

but it sort of means like the stomach is speaking. All right, back on on TYT, Melvin Thrash, Francois, Lamera, Le Perri, and El Hartman 80, thank you for joining. You guys are amazing. They hit the join button below on YouTube. Everyone, you could do it at t.yt.com slash join, and in fact, you'll get a couple months off of annual membership if you do that. TYt.com slash join.

We appreciate you guys. Anna, what's next? Look, we don't have time to cover this today, but I'll probably cover it tomorrow. Israel is using this war against Iran as justification to close the Rafa border in the Gaza Strip and deny food delivery to the Palestinian people living there because they want to starve to death. That's the reality of the situation. Okay, I don't care what anybody says.

The Israeli government is filled with monsters. Well, they're terrorists. So those are the real terrorists, but unfortunately we're living in a world where we're propagandized to believe that everyone else is a terrorist and Israelis are, you know, the Israeli government is full of angels. It's like they're making us help the Germans in the middle of World War II. It's the worst, I don't know, it's anyway. And by the way, sorry, you won't do that.

So you're not on the show tomorrow. Oh, that's right. That's okay. We'll do this story. And I want to let you guys know, since Anna's not on, we're gonna have a special co-host with me tomorrow. Glenn Greenwald is gonna come on, okay? And we're gonna do at least an hour of the show together. So don't miss that.

And then we can have from now a special power panel with a mystery guest that is, that you're gonna be a little amazed by. So all right, Anna. All right, let's talk about what this all means for the economy and more. Saudi Arabia's state oil company, Aramco, shut down its oil refinery in Ross Tanura. After drone strikes were carried out,

allegedly targeted by Iran. Now, there has been a larger wave of attacks on energy infrastructure in the Gulf in response to Israel and America's bombing campaign against Iran. And now there are serious concerns about how this expanding war will impact the world's economy. Now, Jenk, before I give you some of the details, there have been some contradicting reports about who targeted Saudi Arabia.

This is a bit shocking. And it's not confirmed yet. We'll give you the details. We'll give you the facts. But there's a report that the Israelis might have had Saudi Arabia as a false flag operation to draw them into the war against Iran. And let's see if, you know, that story gets confirmed, but let's give you the details first. Yes, and remember, we're still, we're in the fog of war.

So sometimes things appear pretty clear and then it turns out you have more details later that go against that narrative. Now before we get any further, again, it is important to remember we're in the fog of war and there's all sorts of intentionally misleading propaganda out there. So it is not confirmed that Iran struck Saudi oil infrastructure. I want to be clear about that. So the Aramco oil refinery, if you're unfamiliar with it, houses one of the Middle East's largest refineries and actually has the capacity to refine 550,000 barrels per day.

It serves as a critical export terminal for Saudi crude oil and is a key supplier of transport fuels like diesel for buyers in Europe. Now according to the official Saudi press agency, there was a limited fire at the plant caused by debris from the interception of two drones that were targeting the facility. The question here is, whose drones were they, right? Now there were no injuries reported, thankfully, and the blaze was brought under control. However, Aramco quickly shut down the refinery as a precautionary measure. Now Iran is actually denying that they were responsible for any strikes.

Is Saudi Arabia specifically? Iran's deputy foreign minister told CNN the following. We have already been in touch with our Saudi brothers and we have talked about this issue. Iran is not responsible for the attack against the oil installations in Saudi Arabia. On top of that, I think it's worth noting that a friend of the show and wonderful journalist, Ryan Grimm, wrote that wrote that Saudi Arabia will eventually be able to figure out where the missile came from that struck their oil field because there were strikes on the oil field as well. And if it's confirmed it was Israel, that'll have regional implications for a generation. Now some of you

might be wondering, Israel, who's blaming this on Israel? Well, interestingly enough, today on Tucker Carlson's show, he made a pretty bold claim and it had to do with the arrests of Mossad agents in other Arab countries. I want you to listen to what he has to say here and then we'll discuss, you know, the likelihood of this. Take a look. Israel wanted to hurt these countries. That's the point. Wanted to hurt these countries.

Wanted to sow chaos and disorder because they are rivals of Israel. So it's probably not, hasn't been reported, but it's a fact that last night in Qatar and Saudi Arabia authorities arrested Mossad agents planning on committing bombings in those countries. Now that's weird. This doesn't make any sense. Why would the Israelis be committing bombings in two Gulf countries, which are also being attacked by Iran? Aren't they on the same side?

No. No. Israel wants to hurt Iran and Qatar and UAE and Saudi and Bahrain and Oman and Kuwait. And they've succeeded. Now, Tucker's claim is. is that Israel wants the United States to have a bad relationship with these Gulf countries. Now, those golf countries, of course, currently have our bases located within them. And so the idea is that eventually Israel is going to want the U.S. to leave the Middle East entirely,

considering the fact that they want to be the hegemon in the Middle East. What are your thoughts on that? Yeah, I think there's good arguments to be made on both sides. Let's dive into the nuance. So first off, on attacking UAE, I wouldn't, I don't get that at all, because UAE is totally in the pocket of Israel. So like if they bothered to attack them on top, I mean, that is arrogance, you know, on steroids.

But what like, so I just don't quite get it. Let's go to the second video because he explains, it's 37 seconds because he explains why, right? Okay, and then I, but I do want to get to something that backs up what he's saying. Yep. But okay, let's watch. Take a look. The final thing you'd have to do is get the U.S. out of the Middle East. Why would you want the United States out? Well, because the United States, while not doing a very good job of constraining Israel,

has been issuing requests in any case to Israel for a long time. And that's very annoying. Imagine if we were getting the same kind of community case from, I don't know, Ottawa. And they were like, you can't do this, you can't do that. We'd say, buzz off at a certain point. back off Canada, we're doing what we want, we're a great power. So you have to get the United States out. So that's the claim that he's making thoughts. Well, I mean, look, at least there's a little bit of rationale there because the greater Israel does include a lot of the Gulf. So and now, and so

that's where I was going to get to is that like it looks like they're going for greater Israel now, right? And so almost all the Middle Eastern countries' defenses have been obliterated. Now in this particular war, they came in with the US did saying, oh, the nukes that don't exist at all, right? Or regime changes, et cetera. But now we're on to roadside bombs and we have to destroy their Navy. We have to destroy every single ballistic missile, maybe every handgun. I mean, like, it's absurd. Why?

Because Israel needs them neutered. But Israel has already said that their next target is Turkey, which is can't get past how mental that is. It's a NATO country. Okay. And now that's going up north, but then they also have to go south for the greater Israel, and that's a lot of the Gulf. So, well, the UAE is the biggest suckers in the world. They think that if they hand over their cybersecurity to Israel, a bunch of morons.

So Israel owns them and they could do anything they want to UAE. Those idiots trust them, oh no, they're on our side. Israel isn't on anyone's side but Israel, okay? So now come back around to what is a piece of evidence that supports this theory? Well, the Iranians took credit for all the other attacks, right? On Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar. There was a rumor out that maybe Israel did Qatar too. And in fact, there Tucker mentions that they might have caught Mossad agents in Qatar, right?

But no, for the moment being, Iran has claimed attacking Qatar. But that's interesting because that's a juxtaposition to Iran going, what? Saudi Arabia, we didn't attack Saudi Arabia, because they're bragging about all the other attacks. They said, oh hell, yeah, we hit them, and you see if you're safe now, UAE, when they hit Dubai. But on Saturday Arabia, they're like, what are you talking about? We didn't do that at all, right? Right.

So that's a big, big difference there, and that's what makes me think maybe there's something to that. In terms of, did they catch Mossad or not in those countries? Well, presumably we're gonna find out, right? I mean, we might not, maybe they'll bury the news, et cetera. But if we find out, then then they did, right? But for now, that's not a good enough source for me to say it definitively happened, right? So I come back to, I don't know who hits Saudi Arabia, but now Israel is on the table, yes.

And Jenks, just to bolster what you say about the Iranians taking ownership of some of the other attacks they've made, I want to go to C2 here. So this is Iranian foreign minister on CNN, I believe, talking about how they did, in fact, attack and bomb U.S. bases in some of these Gulf countries. Take a look. Sir, if that's a red line for you, why is attacking U.S. military bases abroad justified? But because they are attacking us. They are U.S. military, you know, installations, facilities, bases who are attacking us. We are under attack. Why don't you recognize this fact? We are under the attack by U.S. by U.S. forces in the region. So we have every right to defend ourselves. And how to defend ourselves we attacked the U.S. bases. This is obvious. This is a very

simple fact. And I hope that, and I'm sure that people would understand that. We are not the one who attacked Americans. We are only defending ourselves. So there you have it. It's not like they're shy when it comes to taking responsibility for some of the attacks. Yeah, and there was actually another important clue in there. But first, what an absurd question. I know for, by the way, that was NBC for our audio listeners, not CNN. You're like, now we've attacked your country. We've killed your top 49 leaders. We've bombed hospitals and elementary schools. But you have the temerity to attack us back? Yeah, that's kind of how war works.

Like, I can't believe she even asked that question. I'm glad she did, though. I'm glad she did. Okay, so now here's the clue buried in there. He said, yeah, of course we attacked the U.S. bases in retaliation. And every single one of these attacks that Iran is taking credit for is against the U.S. base or U.S. troops that had moved. Like, in one case, they had moved to a hotel and they hit the hotel, right? none of them are against oil fields.

So, okay, it's not definitive, but that's interesting. And so we'll stay on top of the story, see if we can get more, this is circumstantial evidence. We'll see if we can get direct evidence. That's right. For now, we do have to take a quick break. When we come back, we've got more on this. And I do want to talk a little bit about other angles to this devastating war already, including our soldiers getting hit with friendly fire in Kuwait.

So we've got details on that and more coming up. Don't miss it. No, Kristen, we're not at war with Iran. Wrong, sir. Wrong, sir. Wrong. All right. Let's go to our members on t.com. Rudy Tutti says, ooh, cool, Glenn Greenwald. That's for tomorrow. Glenn and I are going to host a show together. Virginia and South Carolina says, I just want to let Anna know Since you won't shut up, neither will I.

Thank you for breathing fire. Thank you. Thank you. Because believe me, I'm under a lot of attack these days. And I really appreciate when you guys reach out and encourage me, okay? Yeah. I really appreciate it. So I was at an event that I told you guys about in Chicago over the weekend.

And it was for Islamic relief, which gives help to orphans in Gaza and Syria and Sudan and soon, Iran. Soon, Iran, right, because there's so many orphans left from Israel's wars, but also other people's wars. So it's just a charity, but the room was filled with Muslim Americans. And I mentioned in the beginning that Anna also says hi, nearly got a standing ovation, okay? So yeah, there's people who appreciate what we do. But the reason that we say that and we have to remind ourselves of that is because almost everyone in power is against us.

Every like credible what they call they call themselves credible, right? Media, politicians, et cetera, they're like, no, you guys are illegitimate. People who support Israel and all their genocides are the legitimate ones. Okay, yeah, sure, whatever. Smitten for Anna says, oh my goodness, Anna, you've lived up to my username again with a turd on peers. Thank you. Aw. Thank you.

B.C. Lizzie says, thank God for T.Y. my ass would have lost my mind without you guys speaking truth. I've been losing faith trying to hang in there and not let my demons out. Crazy lit agent says now is the time for the 25th Amendment, but there are too many hangers on who will not give up power. Insurers making oil tankers too expensive to move through the Strait of Hormuz. The economic crisis is going to be bad. Our only hope is impeachment and removal once it all implodes if there are midterm elections. So, but look, I hear your brother.

And every, like, so I always talk to the Uber drivers. I always talk to anyone like that has a real working class job when I go to travel, right? Not just the Uber drivers, but like everyone that I can talk to. And what I'm hearing back from 90%, not everyone, but about 80 to 90% are saying the economy sucks. It's already starting to unravel, right? And we can't make a living anymore. We can't keep up anymore. But no one cares about them.

What are we spending all our money on? A war for Israel. So this is, but but in terms of the 25th amendment, it wouldn't matter because almost literally everyone in the White House works for Israel. So you get rid of Trump, you get J.D. Vance. J.D. Vance isn't gonna do anything different. You got rid of J.D. Vance, who would you get? What's like, this is not the order of succession, but Stephen Miller works for Israel. Pete Higgseth works for Israel. Mark Rubeo works for Israel. So there, and by the way, when I say that, we've covered in previous shows, a long track record of supporting Israel, like Hexeth

wrote in his book that IDF soldiers should be on American streets. Like, that's how much these guys all work for Israel. But our media's like, I don't notice it. Yeah, that's totally normal for our Secretary of Defense to write earlier in his book that there should be IDF soldiers in our streets. It's insanity, total insanity. Damn and I'm out of time. Okay, we'll be back.

Diplomacy. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. All right, back on T.YT. Jen Kanana with you guys on the online news show. Passive Watcher 101, no longer that passive because they just joined. Thank you for doing that. Hit the join button below the video on YouTube.

And they wrote, and thank you, Anna and Jenk, for doing this show. As an Iranian, you guys are keeping me sane while all my fellow Iranians appear to have lost their damn minds, keep up to honest work. Thank you for saying that. And I just real quick, guys, when I was, before the Iraq war, I remember assembling onto one of these protests in L.A., just like there's tons of Persians in L.A. saying, oh, attack Iran, it's going to be great, right? And it was one of those, but it was for Christians that were Iraqi. They're like, oh, this is going to be great.

America should bomb Iraq. And I was like, are you guys nuts? You know what's going to happen once that happens? There's going to be chaos and civil war, and the most extreme Muslims are going to win, and you guys are all going to have to run for your lives. They're like, no, it's going to be great. Cheney told me we're going to be greeting as liberators, and we're going to get freedom and democracy. And that's exactly what I said exactly happened because it's simple logic, right?

So all you, like, I know the diaspora hates the Ayrtole and you're right to hate them. But you think getting dropping bombs on hospitals and schools is going to help? It's not going to help at all. They're coming to kill so many Iranians. They want a failed state. Israel wants Iran to be a failed state, much like we're seeing in Libya, in Syria. So, like I get it. I understand the frustrations of the Iranian people who want regime change.

But that revolution has to happen from within. It can't happen through Israel in the United States. Israel has no interest in watching Iran succeed. They want a failed state. And they're going to get it, it looks like. Anyway, let's talk about Oman and Qatar. Qatar. Qatar.

I care. I want to say it right. No, I say it in an American way. Yeah, America. That's right, Qatar. Well, we have just reported on the Saudi oil refinery that was struck and the oil fields that were targeted. Now there's some confusion as to whether or not that was carried out by Iran or if it

was a false flag operation carried out by Israel, we are waiting to learn more about that and we need confirmation, of course. However, Oman has also reported an attack on an oil tanker 50 miles off their coast. One of the world's largest producers of LNG announced Monday that they are halting liquefied natural gas production because of attacks by Iran on two key operating facilities. It appears that there's a lot more clarity when it comes to that attack on Qatar. It was apparently carried out by the Iranians. We want to be clear about that.

And shipping through the strait of Hormuz, through which around 20% of global oil supply flows through, has come to a near halt. after at least three tankers were damaged over the weekend. Now several marine insurers have now said that they are canceling war risk coverage for ships operating in the region, while other insurers have decided to jack up their rates. And today, Iran has threatened to fire on any ship that tries to pass through the strait of Hormuz. So clearly this is going to have a huge impact on the global economy. And all of this in fact already is having major implications when it comes to oil prices,

Jenks. So if you take a look at this graph, you'll see that prices spiked when markets opened last night with the global benchmark Brent Crude hitting $82 per barrel. The price then dropped a bit but rose again after news broke of the attack on the Saudi refinery. And then this morning Brent was trading at $79 a barrel, up nearly 9% from Friday's close. And as of this afternoon, it's up by nearly 6% at $77 a barrel. There are concerns that if these disruptions continue, if this war continues to escalate, and to be quite frank, it has escalated into a regional war, prices could eventually top $100 a barrel.

That's gonna mean a lot of pain for people around the world, including here in the United States, where our current economic environment is not so friendly to ordinary Americans. In the states, prices have already started rising at the gas pumps, nationwide, the average price of unleaded gasoline in the US is currently $2.99 a gallon, up 2% from a week ago, and that's according to AAA. And Patrick DeHan, an analyst with the app Gas Buddy, estimates that in the next few days, the spike and crude oil prices will push U.S. gasoline prices up by 10 to 30 cents on average,

with some individual stations seeing prices rise as much as 85 cents. And of course, the impacts on the global economy will be pretty bad, depending on how long this war drags on. More damage to energy infrastructure in the Gulf and disruptions to shipping will mean that consumers here in the United States will face higher prices. And not just that the gas pump. Remember, the cost of delivering and shipping items is going to go up because you need energy. You need gas in order to do that. And in response to the war, eight countries that are part of the OPEC plus cartel announced that they would boost production of crude oil. But more supply doesn't necessarily mean that the prices will be kept under control.

So George Leon, who is Rysstad Energy's head of geopolitical analysis, says the following. Roughly one fifth of global oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for world trade, meaning markets are more concerned with weather, barrels can move than with spare capacity on paper. If flows through the Gulf are constrained, additional production will provide limited immediate relief, making access to export routes far more important than headline output targets. Jenk. Yeah, so there's a couple of reasons why they might have added the Iranian Navy to the list of all the things we must destroy in Iran before we can leave.

And so one of the reasons is, of course, Israel, that's 99% of the reason why we're in the war in the first place, and they don't want any country in the Middle East to have any weapons. They want everyone to be defenseless. Otherwise, they don't feel safe. They don't feel safe, right? But the second reason is, well, because they could block the Strait of Hormuz. And so if they do, we're going to have economic problems. And we'd like a war free of any problems.

We'd like to kill you all. We'd like to change your government. We'd like to, you know, bomb hospitals and schools, but you don't get to do anything back to us. Oh my God, you close us straight of hormones. Our gases price are up slightly. We are slightly inconvenienced by this terrible war that we've started against you. Well, yeah, what did you think they were going to do? They're going to fight back.

Like, there's this constant thing that is in media and in politics in Washington, where they're like, they feel like that we have a right to attack anyone, and they do not have a right to defend themselves. And this is another Israelification of our government, because Israel claims that right all the time. We have a right to occupy the Palestinians for 58 years. They do not have a right to fight back. If they fight back, they're terrorists.

If we keep slaughtering them, we're a special ally. And everybody in the media goes along with it. Now, there's a second issue that I want to talk about here. Our stock market has lost its mind. So what happened this morning? I've been tracking it because of the war, right? The Dow. The Dow's up.

Okay, 50,000. So, no, but seriously, in the beginning of the day, It took a significant dip because we're like, oh, we're at war, and oh my God, the Strait of Hormuz and the oil and but also other shipping going through that straight. And then by the afternoon, they're like, ah, don't worry about it. War doesn't have any costs. And oil prices are up, that's good for the market. No, it isn't, no it isn't.

At some point, people pay those prices and we run out of money so we can't buy anything else. That is not good for the market, that's terrible for the market. I look, Wall Street is even crazier these days than Washington is. And that seems near impossible. But no matter what happens, they keep buying like morons. I know. They're like AI is coming, it's gonna wipe out 25% of jobs. Our economy will be absolutely pulverized.

They're like, but the AI companies are gold. Let's buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. So there's a giant crash coming. I don't know when it is, but like this is totally unsustainable. And these morons every day they buy more, Instead of realizing what economic pain we're about to go through. And we were already in pain, but guys, this is just the beginning. By the time this war is concluded, God knows when, and the AI apocalypse hits, this is gonna

seem like a dream. This is, it's gonna get much, much, I'm Mr. Optimist, but my job is to tell you the truth and level with you guys, and I'm telling you, especially when they're gonna get better. Well, luckily we have competent leaders that will help guide us through it all. Anyway, we gotta take a break when we come back for our final segment. I wanna talk about our troops dealing with friendly fire in Kuwait. Luckily no one was killed, but I do wanna give you the details of that story, so stick around. The Dow is over $50,000.

I don't know why you're laughing. You wouldn't be high by any chance, would you? All right, let's go to Super Chad. Captain D. Hard, it says they are religious lunatics. They actually believe their Messiah will come when the Middle East and America rise up against Israel. It's in the Talmud. It's a reason that this strikes happening during Porum. So look, I wanna be clear about something.

98% of Jews have nothing to do with this. They don't know anything about this. They don't believe in Amalak or like some weirdo religious cults and etc. Right? We're just talking about extremists. Yeah, hold on, I'm getting to that. So and they, so, but are there religious extremists in Israel? that have basically taken over the government, yes, that's definitely what happened, right?

But for a lot of Jewish Americans, they think like, well, that's conspiratorial craziness. No one I know believes in Brickin' Amalek, and they're totally right about that. But you don't know the people that have taken over the Israeli government. And they've been taught their whole lives, Israel is the greatest thing on earth. It's the most holy, moral, wonderful thing. So they cannot get it through their heads. There might be other people that live in Israel that do believe that religious lunacy. It's not you guys, it's them, but it exists.

Yes. So guys, we'll cover this tomorrow. Obviously, I'm on the show right now, and I can't look into this further and confirm it. But there are videos going viral right now on social media showing the U.S. embassy in Riyadh on fire, like huge plumes of smoke. It looks bad. Oh, it's almost like when you start a giant war in the Middle East, you get a giant war in the Middle East.

This is also- This is the most unnecessary maddening war of all time. This makes Iraq look like it made sense. So, and everyone, God, I despise everyone in media and everyone in politics. I despise that. Okay, anyway, not one of them on TV has said, duh, it's Israel. Anyway, Miracosta says, as a Lebanese Christian who's worried for my family back home, your voice is so important, this podcast has quickly become one of my favorites to listen to. By the way, has Jillian Michaels apologized?

Of course not, of course not, of course not. Several different people asked that. She had the audacity to attack me with a moron like Dave Rubin on her show or whatever show that was. Okay, Dr. Drew, he's not a political, geopolitical guy. Like, I give him a pass, okay? But Dave Rubin and Jillian Michaels acting as though they are geopolitical experts is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life.

But of course she's not gonna apologize. Yeah, she's a disgrace. By the way, guys, the reason he's concerned is because Israel is going to take southern Lebanon as we speak. They're using this war as a pretense. They're like, as well fired one rocket, good enough. And they've already like murdered like dozens of people in Lebanon and they're moving their army and oh look, they had their army ready.

Anyway, we'll talk about it later, maybe. Keep Rock in 17 says, when Obama made that nuclear deal with Iran, it halted Israel from starting this world, but it took Trump two terms, first one to undo the deal and second day achieved the ultimate goal with this war. That is exactly right. Rabbi Shmuli told me after one of our debates that when Cory Booker voted with Obama on that Iran deal, that all the pro-Israel donors cut off his money. They said, no, Israel didn't want that deal. Why? Because it was a peace deal. And they want perpetual war. And recovery mode from taking in so many high level important ideas. All right, back on TYT, Jank and Anna with you guys also, Eurym R 3023. Thank you guys for joining.

We love you for it. I've got a couple of quick things here. I've got two amazing interviews coming out. One with a Christian Palestinian talking about how Israel treats Christians. Another veteran who's a whistleblower telling us what is going on with Israel. So that's at 8 o'clock Eastern. And then the rest of your comments are amazing, guys. I love you for it.

We're gonna, I'll read some of them, including the super chats in the bonus episode for members. So another good reason to sign and we'll interact then. But Anna's got breaking news. I do have breaking news. So let's talk a little bit about what's happening at the US Embassy in Riyadh. So Axios has confirmed that there have been explosions at the US Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, of course. Now loud explosions have repeatedly, reportedly, been,

heard and clouds of smoke have been seen in the diplomatic quarter of Riyadh, the Saudi capital. We don't know too many details. This is all we know, all that's being reported at the moment. But this fire broke out at the U.S. Embassy. The loud explosions were heard. And what we do know is that witnesses are saying, quote, I heard two explosions followed by smoke rising over the quarter.

A resident in the area told the guardian. The blasts were heard as Iran pressed its military campaign targeting Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia with waves of missile and drone attacks in response to US and Israeli air strikes. So this is their retaliatory strikes if it is confirmed that Iran did in fact carry them out. There were some questions as to whether or not Iran targeted Saudi Arabia's oil fields. So that right now is in question. But in terms of what's happening right now at the US embassy, we haven't seen any admission from the Iranians that they carried out this attack.

So we're gonna wait and see what happens as the story develops. But videos are going viral online, showing the US embassy on fire, massive clouds of smoke in the area, and we don't know whether or not there are any casualties as a result of this. Yeah, so we hope, first of all, of course, that all of our staff is safe there. If they haven't gotten our staff out of all the embassies in the Gulf and in the Middle East, they're nuts, that would be incredibly negligent. Obviously there's a giant war going on that we started, so I would hope that you took the bare minimum precautions to make sure that our guys are not in harm's way.

Now remember guys, part of the reason why Iran is attacking, we don't know if they attack on Saudi Arabia is from Iran. There is real question about that at this point, right? Right, because they have claimed responsibility for all the other attacks, but not the Saudi attacks. So, but all the other places that they are attacking, they're saying, well, one, America attacked us. So obviously we're going to try to hit their bases. Duh, right? That's how war works.

And number two is the Americans are not protected. The Israelis have Iron Dome and a lot of our fleet spends its time protecting Israel. So that's why our guys, our embassies and our bases are way more vulnerable. So leaving them open for attack. Conveniently for Israel, that makes the war larger and sucks us in more. So they could then do their propaganda with the national media and tell everyone, oh, Iran killed Americans. You have to go deeper and deeper into this war for Israel.

So the Saudi Ministry of Defense confirms the American embassy in Riyadh was struck by two Iranian Shahid, 136 drones. So that, you know, led to allegedly the, that allegedly led to the fires and explosions that were heard at the embassy. Yeah. So that is the Saudi position on it. So that makes it much more likely. The Saudis, as far as I know, did not say anything about their who hit them on the oil fields.

So that one's still up in the air, but it looks like that the Saudis are saying the Iranians did this one and the Iranians have attacked American positions throughout the Gulf. So that makes sense. Yes. Yeah, and so I hate it. And there was a great way to avoid all this. There was no need to start this war. Totally casual, useless war of choice done for a foreign government.

Israel had plenty of interest in Iran. They wanted them neutered and defenseless. We have no interest in Iran. But we were forced to go into it. Does our politicians work for Israel? I want to be super clear about that. Everybody who died there, the six Americans who've already died, all the innocent civilians in Iran who died, or they're all on Israel.

Every single one of them because they started- And the United States, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, our government, okay? Not the American people though. No, no, no, not. Of course not. We had no choice in this. The vast majority of American people do not want to be part of this war at all. With the three quarters of us said no, but we're occupied.

Since we're occupied, we didn't, this is not a democracy. So our politicians are the worst people on earth. And since they work, they literally get billions of dollars from the Israeli lobby combined, literally. And our dumb ass media says billions of dollars do not affect politicians. Come on. Yeah. All right, Anna.

All right, well, let's move on to one other element of this war that we know of so far, friendly fire in Kuwait. Your US Central Command says three fighter jets were shot down by friendly fire from Kuwaiti forces. Senkhan says all six crew members aboard the jets ejected or safely recovered and are in stable condition. Now CNN geolocated video that appears to be an F-15 falling from the sky, the pilot parachuting out. There's also a video that appears to show a pilot safe on the ground after ejecting. The military of Kuwait accidentally shot down three U.S. jets, each one costing American

taxpayers $100 million. Now, thankfully, As you heard in that video, all of our service members were able to safely evacuate and no deaths have been reported as a result of this friendly fire. Jank your two cents. Yeah. So why did we start this war? Every single thing is because we started the war in the first place. So is there going to be friendly fire incidents when you start a war? Of course, every time. So, and this is just the beginning, Anna's gonna give you more of the facts on it, but you will

see many more stories like this as the weeks and months of this war drag on. There'll be tons of money wasted, jets obliterated, and of course, unfortunately, American lives lost, all for beloved Israel. So US Central Command, CENTCOM stated that during active combat, that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles and drones, the US Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses. Now we're thankful, obviously, that no lives were lost. Already we've lost six American soldiers as a result of this nonsensical war. And everyone, every American should be infuriated by that. But nonetheless, so far, according to the US government,

those six service members have been killed and Trump warned in his speech announcing this war that he's expecting American casualties. That's the price you pay for helping Israel build its empire, I guess. Several anonymous U.S. officials have told the media that those soldiers were located in Kuwait. Furthermore, at least five have been seriously injured and that's an underestimate. We actually don't know the full damage that's been done to our troops. I suspect that the U.S. is kind of withholding some information from us, but expect this death toll to rise. Jeremy Scahill writes, over the past 24 hours, we have heard via witnesses that the number

of U.S. personnel injured in Iranian attacks in Kuwait is much higher than has been acknowledged. Sentcom has not responded to our request for comment. Meanwhile, the war is expanding beyond Iran. Hezbole fighters in Lebanon have started to attack Israel because Israel struck Iran, but also because of the fact that Israel never once honored their ceasefire with Lebanon, which they signed in 2024, and since then have carried out thousands of strikes against Lebanon. And in response, Israel has fired missiles into Lebanon, which according to officials in the country has killed 52 and wounded over 150 individuals in Lebanon.

So other countries that claim they've been attacked by Iran or its proxy forces include Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. According to the New York Times, at least some of these attacks were carried out by Kamakazi Iranian drones. And as the name implies, these are drones that are built to fly directly. into infrastructure and then explode. Percentcom, the U.S. is now using these drones as well, and they have been deployed against Iran. So in the UAE specifically, at least three people have been killed and 68 have been injured. Again, these numbers are subject to change. Very

likely by the time you watch this video, the numbers have changed. We know that at least 16 people have been injured in Qatar, five were injured in Oman. Two soldiers were killed. killed and 32 were injured in Kuwait and four were injured in Bahrain. Iran's foreign minister stated the following, we are not attacking our neighbors in the Persian Gulf countries, we are targeting the presence of the US in these countries. Neighbary neighbors should direct their grievances to the decision makers of this war. And that of course is Israel and the United States. An anonymous Saudi Arabian official told Al Jazeera that the United States abandoned

the Gulf states and redirected its air defense to protect Israel. They left all the Gulf states that host American military bases at the mercy of Iranian strikes. And I want to go to one final video here. I want to go to the foreign minister of Iran who was asked by NBC News whether they're carrying out some of these strikes. Let's see what he had to say. Sir, if that's a red line for you, why is attacking U.S. military bases

as a broad justified. But because they are attacking us. They are U.S. military, you know, installations, facilities, bases who are attacking us. We are under attack. Why don't you, you know, recognize this fact. We are under the attack by U.S., by U.S. forces in the region.

So we have every right to defend ourselves. And how to defend ourselves, we attacked, you know, the U.S. bases. This is obvious. This is a very simple fact, and I hope that, and I'm sure that people would understand that. We are not the one who attacked Americans. We are only defending ourselves. Okay, why did you counterattack after we tried to destroy your country? I don't know, because you started a war against me? Not complicated. Okay, so if American troops were ordered to, and facilities and equipment, was ordered to protect.

to protect Israel over our own troops in the Gulf, that's borderline treason. Borderline, what are you talking about? I mean, saying that what that is saying, the US politicians saying Israeli lives are more valuable than American lives. They tell us that every day. Time to wake up America.

They tell us that every single day, every day. So I'd love to know the details of how we decided who we're gonna protect and who we're not going to protect. If they protected the Israelis over the Americans, there should be a fury in this country, directed at our politicians who've sold us out to a foreign government.

Okay, and now Hezbollah and Iran, and they said, Israel said all along, Hezbollah is Iran. These proxies are Iran, right? So then they go, I can't believe Hezbollah attacked us. What do you mean? You said they were Iran and you attacked Iran. So of course Hezbollah would counterfeit.

You know what they did? One missile landed in an empty area of Israel. So they're like, good enough, here we go. 52 dead. They said evacuate all of southern Lebanon. We're gonna obliterate the place. Now everybody in Lebanon is in a panic that they're gonna turn southern Lebanon into Gaza and they very likely will.

Why, they already had their troops ready to go. The Hezbollah rocket's an excuse. They knew that the minute the war began that Hezbollah would throw one rock or one missile over and good enough, the troops are over. ready to go and occupy southern Lebanon. Oh, look at that, they got more territory. Let me guess, self-defense, right? No, this is an aggressive war they started. And I'm gonna do one last video here because this is unacceptable. Now look at Channel 12 in Israel and how they reacted to the American jets being downed in Kuwait. Watch.

I want to Israel. Remember the Israeli anchor says, it's just an American plane in troops. Yeah. Thank God, heaven forbid, it's not Israeli forces. Let me actually read it word for word. Niv Raskin on Channel 12 in Israel said, we need to emphasize this is an incident involving American forces and not heaven forbid an incident involving Israeli forces. Who's going to be the last American to die for Israel?

We've already got at least six dead and the body's gonna pile up. We had no interest in this war at all. Now the absurdity of Donald Trump and Caroline Levin talking about how we have to destroy. Their nuclear facilities already did, regime change already did. All of their ballistic missiles, all of their Navy, and now all of their IEDs, roadside bombs, all for Israel. How are their roadside bombs going to blow us up in America? It's absurd. It's absurd. Our politicians have sold us out in in unimaginable ways. You should be furious at them. Okay, when we come back, I'm gonna do an interview with a Palestinian Christian.

How is it to live as a Christian in the occupied territories? I can preview one part of it for you. Not well, okay? But that's our beloved ally. We'll do that when we return. Anna, thank you. Thank you. We'll be right back, guys. Below, that's next.
