All right.
All right, welcome to the young Turks, Jake Uyghur, Anna Kasparian with you guys.
We've got some, certainly some domestic news for you guys.
Trump, unfortunately, with a big victory in court, which really makes no sense at all to me.
Like part of it makes sense. The other part is like bewildering.
It's not bewildering at all. There's no justice in this country. Like different people play
by different rules. It is what it is. And that's the reality that we operate under.
So that's the short answer. That's right. So okay. And then on Israel, unfortunately, a lot of news.
So worst civilian kill ratio, one of the worst in history. And so we've got an amazing
leaked report coming out of Israeli press and the guardian on that.
They have started to enter Gaza City.
More people are starving to death, full blown genocide right in front of our eyes.
Israel is obviously a terrorist state and then we'll show you a Democrat, furiously defending
them.
And then I'll share this number with you guys.
Percentage of Americans who think that we should recognize Palestine is a state and
percentage of members of Congress who think we should recognize Palestine as a state.
You're not going to be surprised that there is a disparity, but wait until you see the numbers.
All right, let's start off with this.
A New York appeals court has thrown out a massive civil fraud penalty against President Trump,
a total that exceeded half a billion dollars. They're calling that penalty excessive.
This ruling by the appeals court is monumental. It was also very unusual.
in that it took them nearly a year to reach this decision.
This is a huge win for Donald Trump, any way you cut it.
And this is a stinging rebuke to the attorney general Letitia James.
Well, President Donald Trump is saving a pretty penny,
thanks to a New York appeals court essentially deciding to throw out the massive $515 million
penalty against him in that civil fraud case.
Now, in that case, in case you have forgotten about it, which was brought by Letitia James,
the judge found that Trump had engaged in fraud by essentially exaggerating his wealth for decades.
And by exaggerating his wealth, he had committed fraud in order to get better terms for both loans and for insurance.
Now, after being found liable, Judge Arthur Ingorin ordered him last year to pay $355 million.
in penalties. With interest, the sum has topped $515 million. Additionally, penalties
levied on some other Trump organization executives, including Trump's sons, Eric and Donald
Jr. bring the total to $527 million with interest. So Trump was able to actually hold off
on the collection of that money during the appeals process and while posting $175 million.
bond. Now fast forward to today and here's ABC's Aaron Kuterski explaining the panel's
ruling. The judges are not in agreement here, but it appears they have found that after a three
month trial, the judge, this was a bench trial, the judge Arthur and Gorin correctly found
that Trump, his eldest sons and his business perpetrated a decade's worth of business fraud by
hyping the value of Trump's assets to include his apartment in Trump Tower.
They said it was triple its actual square footage.
The value of Mara Lago, his private Florida golf club, they valued it thinking it was an
unrestricted waterfront property in Palm Beach when there are heavy restrictions on its
development.
But they said the penalty that Ngoran imposed for all of this fraud of $464 million violated
the eighth amendment. It was excessive. And so they've thrown out the monetary judgment
and may be left to New York's highest court to determine what the ultimate penalty, if any,
should be. So we're gonna get to some of the disagreement among the judges through this appeals
process. But just to give you a few more details, essentially in this prevailing opinion,
they maintained the fraud judgment against Trump. The judges wrote that,
while the injunctive relief ordered by the court is well crafted to curb
defendants' business culture, the court's disgorgement order, which directs that defendants
pay nearly half a billion dollars to the state of New York is an excessive fine that
violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Jank, as someone who has a fancy law degree from Columbia University, number one, what does
disgorgement mean?
And number two, what are your thoughts on this decision?
Well, as a fancy pants person, I will explain.
All right, so basically what they're saying is they have brought down the penalty to zero.
But Donald Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr. can't serve as executives for a couple of years.
Whatever the hell that means, because they cheat on that anyway.
They just tell the guy who is the figureheaded Trump organization, do this, do that.
What are they gonna do?
Sue them, bring them to trial?
No, so this means, so guys, the part that makes sense to me in the ruling is, it was always a very big number.
It was a giant number.
So if they said, hey, that's excessive, I get it, okay?
But now the number is zero.
What?
All or nothing, baby.
Okay, that doesn't make any sense because they're saying he is guilty.
He's definitely guilty, right?
But then how could the number be zero?
So, okay, so that's just perplexing.
So look, when you look at the actual case itself, we discuss this obviously as the case was happening.
But number one, if stuff like this is around the edges, you know, oh, he valued his property at 15% more than he should have.
But you know, that's debatable because if you look at it this way or you look at it that way, nobody's going to trial over that, right?
let alone getting convicted, let alone 300 and some odd million, the beginning, 500 million
by the end, right?
But Trump, of course, as always, is extraordinary.
So as you heard partially there in that video, sometimes he'd say three times the amount
of a property, because he's thinking, who cares?
I've been lying my whole life on all of these forms.
I'm going to keep on lying, and I'm going to treat everybody as a sucker.
Now, if you say, well, yeah, but he eventually paid those loans back, which is actually
near miraculous because he almost never does, okay? But he did in this case, and no one sued him civilly,
etc. So there was no harm. That's not true. Because if you have higher leverage and collateral,
your interest rate's going to be lower. So you're going to save millions of dollars from that deal
that otherwise should have gone to a creditor, right? So there's definitely a harm involved.
And so since he was so flagrant about it, if you don't punish him, what you're doing is
you're sending a message to everyone else, yeah, cheat all you want.
It doesn't matter.
That's definitely the message and you should.
Yeah, except be careful, be careful, guys.
Unless you're an ordinary American citizen, just an army, don't do it because they will
rain terror on you.
Okay, prosecutors will come for you.
Appeals courts will give you the middle finger if they even consider your appeal.
We live in a two-tier justice system. I don't know what else to say. Of course, of course. Let me just give you one statement from Peter Moulton. Hold on. One of the appeals judges who argued this.
Well, harm certainly occurred. It was not the cataclysmic harm that can justify a nearly half billion dollar award to the state. Okay, fair enough. So what is the liability? Zero, zero dollars? What's the justification for that? So I don't know.
Like, right now our government, our country is being looted by the richest people in the world, okay?
Just high, high, it's just, I don't know, the robbery never ends, there is no justice.
I don't know what else I can comment on in this story. I'm not surprised at all, at all by this.
So, you know, so from time to time, I'll say, hey, you know, Trump voters are actually not wrong about X, Y, or Z.
And in this case, the fine was excessive, right?
But the one thing they're massively wrong about for sure, I can name many other things too,
but is this idea that their exception is being made to target Donald Trump.
No, the exception is being made to shield and protect Donald Trump.
Because that's why I was jumping into what Anna was saying, don't do this.
If you're a normie, don't even come close to doing this.
But even if you're wealthy, the very last thing you want to do is try to cheat the banks in America because the banks have disproportionate power.
You want to get arrested, there's a one surefire way.
Lie even 1% half, 0.01% to Goldman Sachs.
Oh, you're a goner.
They don't care.
You know, you could be, I've seen them put away super rich people.
I've seen them put away Goldman Sachs workers, former board members, et cetera.
anyone that touches Goldman Sachs even like a little scratch, and you go to prison for a long,
long time, okay? The one exception to ripping off banks in America is the Trump exception.
Trump is even allowed to rip off the banks, which is amazing. It's not just Trump. Maybe in regard
to committing the level of fraud that Trump was found guilty of committing, right? Maybe in that
case, but in terms of engaging in behavior that would typically get an ordinary American,
you know, imprisoned, prosecuted as harshly as possible, imprisoned, heavy fines, that same
behavior is carried out by people in our political class, in the elite class, and they get
away with it. I mean, the prime example, of course, is insider trading, which happens inside
Congress on a regular basis with impunity. So we just have to accept the fact.
that we don't live in the type of country that we learned about in our history books
in public schools, okay?
We don't live in a country that believes in justice, we don't live in a country that actually
believes in equality, we are not governed by the people, we are governed by the corporate
elite and by Israel, let's keep it real, that's the reality of our country.
And so my question to the American people, regardless of how you identify which tribe
you think you belong to left or right, do you want to take your country back?
Do you wanna live in the country that we learned about in our history books?
Because that's what I want.
I am sick of the powerful looting this country.
I am sick of ordinary people, okay, dealing with a government that's more interested in
reigning terror on them if they step out of line a little bit and want answers to some pretty
important questions about why we engage in the foreign policy we engage in, why it is that the
wealthiest people pay a far smaller percentage of their income, if you want to call,
capital gains income to taxes compared to ordinary, hardworking Americans who have to rely
on a wage in order to feed their families. That's the country we live in. People think,
oh, Anna's red-pilled, I'm not red-pilled, I'm black-pilled. Black-pilled means I look at both parties,
I look at our political system, and I look at how Americans get shafted day in and day out,
and unless people are serious about changing it, everything else we talk about is a waste of time.
That's how I feel. Get money out of politics, fight corruption. Us,
have the link down below. Last thing I'll say is just to be clear, look, the rich can get
away with almost everything, but you have to grease the politicians. So don't, like when
they do the insider trading on Congress, that doesn't cost the banks anything. That doesn't
cost the market anything. In fact, it adds to the market. What it does is it costs the average
guy that's investing without that information. So you wind up at a massive disadvantage. So anything
that disadvantages the average guy, the people in power love and will protect because they're the
ones that are taking advantage of you, right? So you just can't cross Goldman Sachs and the
big banks. Now for the first time, asterisk, unless you're Donald Trump. Same thing with you
can't lose money running a casino. Had to put an asterisk on that one too, unless you're Donald
Trump, right? So be careful. The regular, the rules that apply to the super wealthy and connected,
do not apply to you. They will come down on you like a ton of bricks if you break any of these
rules. All right, well, let's move on to the genocide in the Middle East that we are aiding,
abetting, funding. You get the picture. Let's get into it. Across Gaza, one thing is clear.
Israel's military operation is relentless. Now, as Gaza City's one million people brace for a new
ground offensive, those who've already fled in search of safety fear even greater catastrophe
may be imminent. Witnesses said the IDF struck the Al Munasara camp in Deerolv Bala three times today.
Some 70 families already living in makeshift homes now forced to flee once again.
Well, America's special ally has decided to completely ignore international condemnation and
overnight launched its offensive against Gaza City with a barrage of strikes. It's the latest move
in the Israeli government's conquest and mission to expand as part of the Greater Israel Project.
Now, the operation in Gaza City is being referred to as Gideon's Chariot 2.
And aside from Gaza City, the Israeli occupation forces bombed Khan Yunus in southern Gaza and
Dear Al-Bala in the center of the enclave. Now, clearly, Israel has no appetite for peace
and has completely ignored the fact that Hamas has in fact accepted a ceasefire deal that is
far more favorable to the Israelis than it is to the Palestinians. But nonetheless,
Israel said its military had entered the first stages of a planned assault that includes
calling up 60,000 reservists. There are also reports that Israel is looking for an additional
10,000 troops and is essentially soliciting for troops on the international stage. So let me just
say if you're an American and you identify as an American and you leave this country to go
fight on behalf of Israel's genocide, I don't know if I really want to consider you a fellow
American, but nonetheless Netanyahu is still pretending as though he wants to save the hostages
and defeat Hamas, when in reality he wants to expand Israel's borders. He says, quote,
I have come to approve the IDF's plans to take over Gaza City and defeat Hamas. At the same time,
I have instructed to begin immediate negotiations on the release of all our hostages
and an end to the war on terms acceptable to Israel.
These two things, defeating Hamas and releasing our hostages, go hand in hand.
That's also just complete lie.
It's not really about getting the hostages back.
And I would be, sadly, it would be shocking if the remaining hostages remain alive because
it's not really about saving them. It's not about freeing them. It's about doing whatever it takes
to clear that land of the Palestinian people. So Israel can snatch it for themselves.
Jane, back to you. So we're now going from genocide to Holocaust. So we're not there yet.
Holocaust is when you try to wipe out everyone in the race. But they're trying to either move
for kill two million Palestinians in Gaza.
So you're gonna see later in the program,
it's one of the worst civilian kill ratios in modern history.
They're definitely intending to murder the civilians.
It's now a full blown terrorist state.
It's their civilian kill ratio is way worse than Hamas,
way worse than Bosnia, which was a historic genocide.
Worse than Sudan, and I can go on.
and we will later in the program.
So they are intentionally murdering civilians, children.
We've got another quote from it is the head of the Israeli military directorate who said
that we should kill 50 Palestinians for one Israeli, including their children.
So when now when I see Israelis on TV, et cetera, defending this genocide, they all look
German to me. And they're like, yeah, yeah, this is genocide is very good.
Very good, machnel, machnel on killing the Palestinians and removing them from Gaza.
Okay, so now these guys are saying, yeah, we're going to move out the whole million.
Yeah.
So, I mean, that is textbook ethnic cleansing, guys.
Textbook, there's no dispute over it at all.
So if you're still supporting Israel, you're supporting a terrorist state, and you should own up to it.
You should say, yeah, I like terrorism as long as it helps me.
I like that we're murdering the Palestinian children because, hey, then we'll get to take Gaza and we'll have more land.
You could just be honest, then at least we can have an honest conversation.
But the idea that Israel is not doing terrorism or this is not a genocide is completely over.
So the United Nations body for Palestinian refugees known as UNRWA said that nearly one and three children in Gaza were now malnourished.
intentionally so. I mean, look, Israel defaming UNRWA as a Hamas terrorist organization was
very much intentional. Stop the flow of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip for literally
three months. And then follow that with an Israeli-backed organization that's run by
American contractors that essentially shoots and kills desperate Palestinians as they go to
three humanitarian aid hubs. Unra was operating hundreds of humanitarian aid hubs in Gaza before
they were banned by the Israelis. The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said Thursday that two
people had died due to malnutrition in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 271. 21 people
who have died from malnutrition, from starvation since Israel launched its assault on the besieged
enclave. And there's now also an Israeli paper, I want to be clear, an Israeli paper publishing
about some leaked documents from the IDF that finally sheds light on the combatant to civilian
ratio, basically the number of civilians who have been killed versus the number of, you know,
Hamas militants that have been killed. And it turns out, Israeli Army database suggests,
at least 83% of Gaza dead were civilians.
Classified intelligence for May reveals Israel believed it had killed some 8,900 militants in its attacks on Gaza,
indicating a proportion of civilian slaughter with few parallels in modern warfare because this is a genocide.
That's what this is.
Okay, so this is the IDFs documentation, the IDFs. Okay, the most moral army.
that we are funding, that we are arming, disgusting.
83% as of May of the people slaughtered in Gaza, civilians, civilians.
Let me read some excerpts from this piece.
Figures obtained from the classified database, which records the deaths of militants from
Hamas and Palestinian Islamic jihad contradict by a huge margin the public statements
of Israeli army and government officials throughout the war, which have generally claimed
a one to one or two to one ratio of civilian to militant casualties.
Now the Israeli army has even confirmed the existence of this database.
And it seems like they get away with everything.
So they don't really feel the need to deny it or anything.
They're acknowledging it.
So this was managed by the military intelligence directorate,
which also goes by a Hebrew acronym, Aman.
So the Israeli army believed it had killed around, again, 8,900 operatives since October 7th through May of this year.
The deaths of 7,330 of whom were considered certain and 1,570 recorded as probably dead.
The vast majority of them were junior, meaning junior combatants, with the army suspecting it had killed 100 to 300 senior Hamas operatives out of a total of 750 named in the database.
Now taking the militant casualty figures obtained from the internal Israeli army database in May and lining them up against the health ministry's total death toll,
it is possible to calculate an approximate civilian casualty ratio for the war up until three months ago when the death toll stood at 53,000.
So in other words, again, as we had suspected, the vast majority of those who have been killed in Gaza by the Israeli occupation forces,
were in fact civilians. And by the way, the Gaza Health Ministry's numbers is an undercount
because it doesn't consider the bodies that are still trapped under the rubble. There are
hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza that are missing right now. And I think it's pretty
safe to presume those individuals are dead. So we don't know what the exact death toll is at the
moment. But even the IDF acknowledges in their own internal database, that again, the vast
majority of people they have killed are in fact civilians. And I think that's intentional.
Of course it's intentional. And they, you know, we've told you before, American doctors
talking about sniper shots on kids under the age of five, an unbelievable number of them.
They were literally bombing and raising all of the buildings and homes in Gaza. I mean,
if this is unintentional, I mean, why would you pay people to destroy every building in Gaza
if it's unintentional? Like, none of it makes any sense. Look, so.
So let's break this down one by one. First of all, I mentioned some historic genocides before,
let me give you more. The butcher of Damascus, Bashar al-Assad, just annihilated Aleppo early on in
the civil war. It was just grotesque. The civilian kill ratio there was 59%. Israel's is 83%.
Okay. And that's 83% is low because it doesn't count anyone under the rubble. It is a massive
undercount according to Lancet Journal of the top medical journals in the world.
But even if you take that number and the number of people that they killed that are
theoretically Hamas fighters is also high. There's about 1,700 of them that are that they say
are probably dead. So we're giving them the probably dead, right? Because this is from a leak from
IDF itself, right? So you give them all that and they still get to 83%. Now, but of course,
nothing as bad as the barbaric terrorist of Hamas, because on October 7th, their civilian
kill ratio, a little bit of dispute around civilians and military around the edges, so the number
can't be pinpointed exactly, but it is between 60 and 67%. Wait a minute, that's way lower
than Israel's kill ratio. So now Israel's civilian kill ratio are much higher than the terrorist
group Hamas, and they have now done 60 October 7s, at a barrens.
minimum, 60. So when that military director guide in Israel said, we should kill 50 civilians
for one Israeli and murder their children too, it was an undercount. They've now gone to 60,
and that's before they annihilate Gaza City, which started today. Okay, so look, that's why I'm
telling you, genocide is now needing to be too mild a term. It appears that they're trying to wipe out
all the Palestinians in Gaza, and that would be very much historic.
There's only really one other time that's happened.
And of course, ironically, it happened to the Jews in Germany.
So in terms of the caloric intake and the starvation that they're doing, obviously also shows
intent.
But did you know that before October 7th, Israel was already managing the caloric intake of
Gaza?
I did know that actually.
And what's funny is that they say like, oh, no, no, we left Gaza, we left.
We control Gaza? No, not at all. No, they have the border closed. They have checkpoints.
Anyone that approaches the wall without permission gets murdered, literally, 150 people murdered in a peaceful protest in 2018.
And they control Gaza completely, all the medical aid, the food, even before October 7.
You know why? Because it's a despotic and dictatorial occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.
And you know, when people say, why should we support Israel?
They say, it's the only democracy in the Middle East.
That's a giant lie.
I mean, what kind of a democracy is like, yeah, democracy for us, but we keep five and a half million prisoners.
And they have no rights at all, and we can kill them at any time.
And we control how much food they're allowed to eat.
And when we want to, we starve them to death.
By the way, 266 gossens have already starved to death.
122 of them are children.
So when you're starving people to death,
starving people to death, you don't get to say it's unintentional.
No, this is act of global terrorism, state terrorism, and a maniacal genocide.
And at this point, anyone denying it is basically declaring, I don't think Palestinians
are human.
I think the Israelis are superior to the Palestinians, and we could murder them all we want.
It doesn't matter, we'll just get our dogs in American media and in American politics to
to call them terrorists and to call us a democracy and a moral army.
outlets plus 972 magazine and The Guardian.
So this is how the Israelis count.
So they went and killed 200 areas.
This is in their own documentation.
200 people and they say they were all terrorists.
Then an officer is like only 10 of them were terrorists.
The other 190 were civilians.
We count them all as terrorists, okay?
In another instance, 100 people killed.
They say 100 of them were terrorists.
An officer says only two of them were.
The other 98 were civilians.
were civilians, but count them all as terrorists.
And still you get to 83%.
Okay, so yeah, no, if you're denying that it's intentional, you're purposely lying,
and you're aiding and abetting genocide.
So that's where we are now.
So if you raise your hand and say, I still support Israel doing this,
you're a bit of a monster.
All right, when we come back, I want to just briefly touch on the thousands of new settlements
in the West Bank in an effort to prevent the formation of a Palestinian state, which has been the goal from the very beginning.
And what the Trump administration is trying to do in silencing dissent. Come right back.
All right, back on TYAT.
Let's go to super chat.
Majid writes in, given continuous expansion of settlements in the West Bank, the international
community must pressure Israel via BDS to get Palestinians, A, a sovereign state or B citizenship,
i.e. one state, one or the other.
Yeah, no, if you're, France, Australia, and so many UK are now leading towards recognizing
Palestine as a state, of course, Nanyahu is going nuts, going,
anti-Semite! Anti-Semite! If you don't agree with murdering and slaughtering Palestinian children,
then you're an anti-Semite and you're the hateful one. You hate all Jews if you won't murder Palestinian children.
That's his logic, not mine. I despise that logic.
Titan says, oh my God, Anna, I just said before the show, we don't have a government for the people.
Our government is a tool being used by the rich to loot.
even in the face of decline and collapse, they continue looting the country for everything.
But you're totally right, like Titan.
But what you have to understand is I, so because I went to some good schools and for other
reasons, I know a lot of wealthy folks.
And they have no idea of the decay.
They think everything's great.
They don't know why the rest of you are complaining so much.
They're like the stock market's at a record eye.
We couldn't be doing any better.
I know you couldn't be doing any better because you're very wealthy.
but they really they can't see they can't see they're totally blind and if you tell them that
people in America are suffering they're like that sounds ridiculous I don't know anyone like
that they drive me crazy in liberty and guns we trust says it's sad to say but Israel is engaged
in actual human sacrifices because greater Israel is their goal and it's rooted in religion
Palestinians are their human sacrifice to achieve their religious ends so look I
don't know about human sacrifice and I don't know about religious parts of it and stuff
But by the way, the Judean, like, a lot of folks who believe in Judaism think that it is against their religion to form a state like this.
And so it's not just ultra-Orthodox.
There are other Jews who are like, no, you're now mixing, you know, religion and government, and that's terrible because governments do terrible things.
Oh, right, exactly what happened to Israel, right?
So now you're endangering all Jews because this government is pretending to represent all Jews and is doing the most maniacal, terrible things we've ever seen.
So it doesn't help anyone.
It certainly doesn't help Jews across the world.
Independent conversation says, I'm with Anna, hoping hell is real accountability.
Yeah, for real.
I mean, that's the sad state that we're in.
Yep.
Yeah, on YouTube member section, box says Anna's extra spicy today and they enjoy it.
You know, I'll tell you why I'm extra spicy today.
Um, because when things are documented by our own intelligence organizations, like the FBI,
for instance, and people want to gaslight you into thinking that the, you know, five Israelis
who were, you know, reported on on 9-11 actually didn't exist at all.
And if you bring it up your anti-Semite, like the, don't.
Don't gaslight me, don't gaslight me.
I'm not accusing my audience of doing that obviously, but all the, all the Israel defenders,
you need to have an argument, you need to come at me with substance.
If you can't refute what I'm saying with substance other than, oh my God, tinfoil hat,
you're an anti-Semite, that's not an argument.
Yeah, no, it's, yeah, tons of Israeli spies were arrested after 9-11.
Yes.
And they were let go, they were went back to Israel, why?
When you arrest a spy, what country?
sends them back, goes, oh, thank you for spying on us.
We're owned, it's obvious.

Anna, what's next?
All right, let's get to our next story.
One of the biggest pieces of evidence that Israel's assault on the Palestinian people in Gaza has nothing to do with returning the hostages or defeating Hamas is the fact that ever since October 7th happened, Israel has allowed its terrorist settlers to reign terror on the Palestinian people in the West Bank, which has never been governed by Hamas.
The West Bank had nothing to do with the atrocities committed on October 7th.
Yet it turns out that Israel has announced that they will be building thousands of new illegal settlements.
And there's a very specific reason why they're doing that other than stealing land.
Let's take a look.
The decision has delighted far right Israeli ministers who support Benjamin Netanyahu needs to stay in power.
They see it as their means to end the prospect of a Palestinian state.
showing up here to say as much just last week.
We will continue to build a fulfilling Jewish reality.
This reality definitively buries the idea of a Palestinian state.
The reason this issue is so central to the future of a Palestinian state
is because we have East Jerusalem here with Ramallah to the north
and Bethlehem there to the south.
And Israel would put a brand new settlement right here,
smack in the middle, separating those two cities,
from each other.
So in other words, in an effort to further prevent the possibility of the formation of a
Palestinian state, they're making a point to build these illegal settlements right smack
dab in the middle of the West Bank, which would divide the enclave in half, on purpose.
Okay, so this has been the plan all along, guys.
Can we please, for the love of God, stop with the dog and pony show.
repeating and regurgitating the lies of the Israeli government and Benjamin Netanyahu.
This has never been about protecting the Israeli people from Hamas.
This has never been about, you know, ensuring that October 7th never happens again.
This is the Greater Israel Project happening in real time with the United States paying for it
in blood and in treasure.
So my question to the American people is, what do you care more about, building some other
country's empire or taking care of our own people because it disgusts me that we support
these people. We should not be supporting these people. Of course not. So we cut off aid to almost
every other nation when Trump first came in and including programs that helped save lives
through funding AIDS prevention, treatment, malaria, et cetera, right? So we said, no, we're not
We don't have a dollar to even save kids' lives abroad, right?
The only country we didn't cut off A2 was Israel and its allies, Egypt and Jordan, because
they work with the Israeli government.
Okay, so now they say we don't have money to help anyone, but we do have the money to help
Israel commit a genocide.
You better watch out Egypt and Jordan.
They're coming for you next.
Of course they are.
Be good boys and kneel to your daddies, okay, over in Israel, and get ready for them to steal
some of your land.
I hope you're ready.
No, but the Egyptian people and the Jordanian people are not in favor of it.
It's their government.
It's their deeply corrupt governments who are on their knees every day to the Israeli
leaders.
But to be fair to those leaders, so are American leaders.
Trump and Biden have spent the entire time on their knees.
And so they say, oh, I mean, Biden pretended that he cared about the Palestinians as he
wrote a $20 billion check to Israel to finish them off.
Like, no one has helped this genocide more than Joe Biden.
So even Trump in his infinite madness and its despicable actions in this regard, basically
green lighting the genocide, green lighting the division of the West Bank, he didn't
send as much money to Israel in the middle of a genocide as Joe Biden did.
Okay, now if you think Biden and Trump are terrible, you're absolutely right there, the
bottom of the barrel, they work for Israel, they're disgusting.
And our Congress agrees with them nearly 100%.
So here give you an example, this, because a lot of people in the rest of the world might not know the American people have already flipped.
They might think that we are represented by our politicians because we're a democracy.
That's not remotely true.
58% of Americans say not only should we not give money to Israel, we should recognize Palestine as a state, right?
58%.
Now do you know how many members of Congress agree with that position?
2%. So wait a minute, six out of 10 Americans want us to recognize Palestine because
Americans are good decent people. They go, those are human beings. Why should they be the only
people in the world who can't have sovereignty and independence and a state?
I mean, what an outrageously racist position to say, no, the Palestinians are so subhuman,
so violent that we can't give them a state. Well, if that's true, then Israel shouldn't
have a state because Israel is much more violent than the Palestinians.
much more violent than Hamas.
That's not even close.
How many countries has Israel bombs since October 7th?
I mean literally like I lost count.
I'm not kidding.
I lost count and it depends on how you count.
Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Iraq,
Syria, okay, so like they bombed all their neighbors.
And the morons on American television say,
well to be fair, they're not stupid, they're just corrupt.
They go, no, no, Israel is doing self-defense.
self-defense. They had to attack all of their neighbors for self-defense. So now the only grain
of truth in that is that the Israelis at this point are so sociopathically paranoid that they think
until everyone else is neutered and no one could dare to even criticize us, we're not safe.
We don't feel safe. We don't feel safe. You have to kill more Palestinians. You have to take
their land. You have to bomb seven countries. Otherwise, I don't feel safe unless everyone in my name.
So called enemies that I declared enemies and the people I want to take their land,
unless they're all dead, I don't feel safe.
Well, that's not a fascist thing.
So you give you a sense of, and is it working, by the way?
So Israel's killed 83% civilian kill ratio.
We discussed that earlier in the show, one of the worst in human history.
So it's obviously intentional.
So they killed, if their numbers are right, 8,800 members of Hamas, roughly.
Do you know how many people have signed up for Hamas since October 7th?
15,000, about doubled enough.
I'm shocked this line 150,000, right?
Because they're like, oh, Israel's murdering all of us, they killed my kids.
So what am I going to do, just sit here?
Of course, I'm going to join a resistance.
And of course, in American television, they'll tell you the Palestinians have no right to defend themselves.
If they even lift a finger against Israel, terrorist, anti-Semites,
you should know that your job is to get murdered by the Israelis and never ever resist.
But if Israel kills you at 60 times the rate of Hamas, which they have, they're lovely and human moral.
They're the gorgeous army and they have every right to murder your kids as long as they will.
By the way, they've murdered 500 times the number of children that Hamas has, 500 times worse than Hamas.
These are indisputable facts, so that's why you get a wall propaganda.
One more thing here, Anna, I don't know that a single cable news anchor in a
America has called it a genocide yet. Is that amazing?
Look, they're a disgrace, okay, to the field of journalism. They don't do journalism.
They just serve as mouthpieces for the powerful. And that's why no one trusts them.
That's why you have this explosion of independent media, which Prime Minister Netanyahu is
desperately trying to take advantage of to do positive PR for Israel. But how do you do positive
PR for Israel when you see unending images of children with their limbs amputated, when
you see children skin and bones dying of malnutrition, when you see people literally
getting shot at is they're desperately trying to get food at humanitarian aid hubs.
When you see aerial images of Gaza leveled every house, every apartment building, every university,
every hospital, every refugee camp, gone.
You can't do positive PR Israel because this whole situation that's been happening for nearly
two years has opened the eyes of so many people who actually initially were on your side.
They are their own worst enemies and you want to know something if this is what it's going
to take for Americans to finally wake up and understand our government is occupied by Israel.
It is not in our best interest to remain allies of this country, the better it is.
Because we need to decouple from Israel.
I think Israel right now is one of the biggest threats to the United States.
Of course.
Full stop.
I mean, they got us into endless wars in the Middle East to fight their stupid wars for them
to help them take land.
They've robbed us of $310 billion.
They say we owe them.
We don't know you.
What do we owe you for?
Are you nuts?
No.
And by the way, for all the people in this country, whether they're Israeli or whatever,
who are die hard fanatics for the state of Israel, of the state of Israel.
You know what, God bless you, go live in Israel.
Yeah, get out of here, go.
Why are you in America?
Why are you in America if you love Israel so much?
Go live in Israel, in fact, more importantly, they desperately need 10,000 additional
members for their military, go fight.
But sitting here and demanding that the American people bankroll the slaughter of
innocence in the Middle East, I'm not just stopping at Gaza or the West Bank, this is going
to expand further, this is endless.
Thinking that the American people should be responsible and should have, you know, blood on their hands in support of Israel is absolutely disgusting.
I would like our country and our government to look out for our people, not a foreign government that's currently committing unspeakable atrocities.
We got to take a break, Jank.

And Omni Aldous, thank you for gifting 10 memberships on YouTube.
We appreciate that as well.
Guys, defy the Israeli government, defy American politicians and American media, become a member of the young Turks.
All right. Let's get to our next story. It appears that the Trump administration, Trump's
State Department in particular, has listened to demands and orders from their masters and
have fired a top official for advising the administration to come out against ethnic cleansing
in Gaza. You know, the crime of, you know, advising the United States government to come out
against ethnic cleansing. Wow, what a batty. Now the man in question is Shahid Goreshi,
who was the top press officer for Israel Palestinian Affairs at the State Department.
Monday's firing occurred days after an internal debate about releasing a statement to the news media
that said we do not support forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza. Shahid Goreshi
She drafted the line, what a big crime, which resembled previous remarks made by President
Donald Trump and Middle East special envoy Steve Whitkoff, who said in February that the United
States would not pursue an eviction plan for Gaza.
But since then, it appears that, you know, that whole Epstein Files cover up thing happened.
There was some sort of talking to to Donald Trump, and he did kind of like a 180 in his willingness
to push back against Israel time to time.
Now he doesn't push back on anything, and in fact, we'll fire.
members of his own administration if they don't go along with Israel's lies in support
of the ethnic cleansing and genocide currently taking place in Gaza.
So it's coming up again now because of reports that these Israeli officials are considering
expelling and just ethnically cleansing Palestinians to South Sudan.
So they're having conversations with other countries essentially to see if these other countries
will absorb Palestinian refugees and South Sudan happens to be one of them, but denouncing
ethnic cleansing was too far for the State Department. And so as a result, the State Department
vetoed the move instructing officials to cut the line marked in red and clear. According to a
memo dated last week, and this isn't the first dispute of this kind in recent weeks. So another
occurred earlier this month after Israel killed Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif
and several other journalists in Gaza City for that matter. As officials contemplated
how the State Department should address the incident Goreshi recommended, including a line
that said, we mourn the loss of journalists and express condolences to their families. State
department leadership objected in an email sent August 10th, quote, no response is needed,
The email said, we can't be sending out condolences if we are unsure of the individual's actions.
He was a journalist who was literally on air every single day.
Kind of hard to engage in terrorist activities when you are on the air on camera every single day,
besides which Israel didn't provide any evidence that Anas al-Sharif was a Hamas militant,
because they don't need to provide any evidence.
All they need to do is point to anyone,
particularly humanitarian aid workers,
journalists, things like that,
accuse them of being Hamas militants,
slaughter them, and enjoy the impunity
that the United States offers them
for doing these crimes.
It's disgusting.
It goes against what our values are supposed to be
in this great American democracy.
And Israel at this point is not only a liability
to the United States,
but completely, completely,
completely ruins the possibility of our government being taken seriously when issues of
human rights abuses come up on the international stage. Who are we to talk about human rights
abuses or the necessity of following international law when we have allowed our special
ally to get away with literal murder? Jank, back to you. Yeah. So there's people who basically
work for Israel all over our government. And they make these decisions in a way that is not
really authorized even within the Trump administration. So if you're looking at this
Greshi guy and you're thinking, well, I mean, I don't know, maybe he's stuck in. He's some sort
of soft-hearted lib or something. No, he's the one that wrote the tweet for Marco Rubio about
making Gaza beautiful again. Okay. So he's on their side, et cetera, et cetera, but nothing
is ever good enough. So if you say, hey, are the official U.S. policy,
is that we are not in favor of ethnic cleansing.
They're like, that's it, you're fired.
But that, that's, wait, I'm repeating official U.S. policy.
Yeah, but we work for Israel, we don't work for America, so you're fired.
How could you get fired for stating official U.S. policy if you're in the State Department?
You know why?
Because the fish rots from the head down, in this case not Trump, although he's plenty bad, but Rubio.
So Rubio, the article talks about the seventh floor and how the seventh floor basically works for Israel.
That's Rubio's floor.
And so Rubio is taking over a million dollars from APEC,
deeply connected to Mary Madelson and the other Israeli lobby.
And we told you that when he was brought in,
number one, that he was part of Team Israel,
along with several other members like Mike Huckabee and others.
And that is why the Senate voted overwhelmingly yes on Marco Rubio.
They're like, oh, the others, we have issues, Tulsi Gabbard, others we will look into.
They're like, oh, Rubio, he works for Israel, he's in right away.
Right away, right away. So he's the Israeli Secretary of State, not ours. And so he won't even do U.S. policy.
He's like, no, I'm going to do Israeli policy instead of U.S. It's unbelievable.
All right, so there's a guy inside there who is going around firing people and changing the language in favor of Israel.
Within the State Department, his name is David Milstein. And so Milstein is one of the guys who got Greshi fired.
He's so nuts, he tried to put in an official statement that, not to call the West Bank
and Gaza Strip by their real names, but call them Judea Samaria.
Judea and Samaria are like the names that Israel uses for greater Israel, meaning
we're going to wipe out the Palestinians and literally steal that land for ourselves.
They say it out loud, yeah.
Yeah, and he's like, yeah, that should be official U.S. policy, complete and utter ethnic
cleansing genocide, maybe even a hollow.
to steal that land and we should call it by the same name.
St. Judea and Samaria is the equivalent of saying from the river to the sea.
Okay, so you want to know who David Milstein is?
He is the son-in-law of Mark Levin.
So Mark Levin gets some sort of honorary title.
He gets to put in the son-in-law in the State Department.
And of course, there's one other character you're not going to be surprised who called for
Rishi's firing, Laura Luma.
So they're Israeli, I mean, technically I don't know if they're agents, assets, or they're just doing it voluntarily.
But let's put it this way, Israel firsters like Laura Lumer, Mark Levine, his son-in-in-law, Marco Rubio, and by the way, almost all of Congress who's gotten paid by APEC and other Israeli lobbies.
And they don't work for our government at all.
They often defy our own government to serve Israel instead.
That's the state of America.
So look, the one upside of all that is that we now know how it feels to be a Palestinian.
You're now occupied.
I can't wait for Israel to start controlling our caloric intake and telling us, well, they already
tell us what we can and can't do and what we can't and can't say.
So look, the State Department didn't give any rationale for Goreshi's firing to the Washington Post or to Goreshi himself, by the way.
himself by the way, but he's confident his pushback on the administration's
allegiance to Israel was the culprit and says the following, despite a strong
reputation and close working relationship with many of my colleagues, I was
unable to survive these disputes and he was subject to an attack from none other
than that lunatic known as Laura Lumer who called him a pro-I-Ranian regime
jihadi Muslim tied to N-I-A-C. Of course she did, she calls everybody that.
Okay, referring to the National Iranian American Council, which backed the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran,
which prevented Iran from building nuclear weapons.
So why is that a bad thing exactly?
Anyway, Goreshi said he intended, he interned at the NIAC back in 2013.
She also called him a rabidly anti-Trump staffer who was operating as a pro-Iranian regime operative.
Like, they just say.
There's a lunatic right now who has the president's ear.
But honestly, I don't know how much it's really about Trump trusting Laura Lumer.
I think at the heart of this issue is something happened, right?
Because there was a period of time, even in Trump's second term,
where he was willing to push back on Israel at least a little bit, right?
He stopped attacking the Houthis.
There was something else, I'm forgetting at the moment.
He did a peace deal, temporary hostage deal with Hamas.
That's right.
Cut out Israel from it.
Cut out Israel, exactly.
Cut out his Israel from the Houthi's deal, and he made them turn around their jets
when they were going to do a second wave of bombing of Iran.
So three separate times he defied Israel, and that's where we gave him credit, and we had
a little bit of hope, oh my God, is this a U.S. president?
That's actually a U.S. president.
For all the other things we disagree, Trump on massively, we're like, okay, I haven't
seen a U.S. president stand up to Israel in my lifetime.
And then Netanyahu came over, had a private talk with Trump.
And from then on, he has been nothing but yes, sir, of course, sir, kill anyone you like, sir.
Here's a check, sir.
Yes, take Gaza, sir.
Please destroy every Palestinian Gaza, sir.
I'm so sorry.
FC files will never be released.
There were no clients.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well, I mean, look, they're super obvious.
And Laura Luma called this Greshi guy pro-Iranian regime operative, right?
No, the irony is it's always projection.
There's a bunch of people who are pro-Israel regime operatives.
Yeah, exactly.
Like Laurel Lumer and Mark Levin and tons of people inside our own government.
You wanna know who the deep state is?
It's people who are working for Israel instead of America.
There, I just solved it for you.
That's right.
Anyway, we gotta take a break, but when we come back for the second hour,
man, we have so many good stories today.
We're gonna talk about Wesley Bell, the congressman who replaced Cory Bush.
And remember the reason why he won is because he had a tremendous amount of support from the Israel lobby.
Well, that's now coming back to bite him in the ass.
No, it's not.
He loves it.
And it's not going to hurt him at all.
He's like almost dancing up there.
I love Israel.
Commit more genocide.
Wooo.
Send me the money.
Send me the money.
So we'll tell you about that prostitute when we return.
All right back on CYT, Janganana with you guys.

He did a peace deal, temporary hostage deal with Hamas.
That's right.
Cut out Israel from it?
Cut out Israel, exactly.
Cut out his Israel from the Houthi's deal.
And he made them turn around their jets when they were going to do a second wave of bombing of Iran.
So three separate times he defied Israel, and that's where we gave him credit and we had a little bit of hope.
Oh my God, is this a U.S. president?
That's actually a U.S. president.
For all the other things we disagree, Trump on massively, we're like, okay, I haven't seen a U.S. president stand up to Israel in my lifetime.
And then Netanyahu came over, had a private talk with Trump.
And from then on, he has been nothing but yes, sir, of course, sir, kill anyone you like, sir.
Here's a check, sir.
Yes, take Gaza, sir, please destroy every Palestinian Gaza, sir.
I'm so sorry, FC files will never be released.
There were no clients.
Oh, okay, all right, well, I mean, look, they're super obvious.
And Laura Luma called this Goreshi guy pro-Iranian regime operative, right?
No, the irony is, it's always projection.
There's a bunch of people who are pro-Israel regime operatives like Laurel Lumer and Mark Levin and tons of people inside our own government.
You want to know who the deep state is, it's people who are working for Israel instead of America.
There, I just solved it for you.
That's right.
Anyway, we got to take a break, but when we come back for the second hour, man, we have so many good stories today.
We're going to talk about Wesley Bell, the congressman who replaced Cory Bush.
And remember, the reason why he won is because he had a tremendous amount of support from the Israel lobby.
Well, that's now coming back to bite him in the ass.
You know, it's not. He loves it. And it's not going to hurt him at all.
He's like almost dancing up there. I love Israel.
Commit more genocide.
Send me the money. Send me the money.
So we'll tell you about that prostitute when we return.
I don't know.
I'm going to be.
I'm going to be able to be.
