Original, from 27 July, only on Ulu, on Disney Plus. My name is Peter Parker, but I'm also

Spider Man. This July, we're faced with a threat. I can be anyone. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker. I'm just a neighbor,

friendly neighbor. But he hasn't forgotten them. Sometimes Spider Man has to do the hard thing. That's my responsibility. Talk to Banner? I didn't know you could get that big.

Spider-Man, brand-new day. In theaters, July 31st. The Supreme Court. That's exactly where you should be. I liked beer. Still like beer. The guy! Thank you, Gugher, and I've got a special guest host for you guys tonight. Marjorie,

Taylor Green. Welcome. How are you? I'm great, Jank. Thanks for having me on tonight. Ah, no problem. So we're going to do the first hour together, and then Yasmin Olai Khan's going to come for the second hour. But boy, do we have a lot of amazing stories for both of us to comment on. So in this hour, we've got Lindsey Graham has passed away. Obviously, we'll talk about that and his replacement.

Israel would like to merge our militaries. Is that a good idea? And of course, there's new reports out from Benjamin Netanyahu about that. And Representative Ro Khanna was detained by Israeli settlers in the IDF. Curious to see and hear what Marjor Taylor Green has to say about that. So we'll get to all of those stories in a minute. But let's jump right in the news because there's so much to get into. So this, let's start with Lindsey Graham's story.

We were receiving American support military aid. And you know, we've done this through successive presidents. We did it with, the first one was with Clinton and then it was with Obama and then with Trump, sort of a 10 year MOU memorandum of understanding where America gives Israel much value. support. Now I, when I did this, when I negotiated this, I said, okay, this is what we need. We don't need anymore. He said, yes, you do. I said, Lindsay, we don't need anymore. And he would tell me, no, I'm going to go over your head to the Senate because I think you need more on missile defense or whatever, okay? And I think once or twice he got his way.

So we're gonna talk about the whole record of Lindsay Graham in a minute. But I wanna just jump to Marjorie's opinion on this clip right from the get-go. And then I'll tell you the record of how much of a warmonger Lindsey Graham was and what his final mission was. But Representative Green, what do you make of Lindsey Graham demanding that America give more to Israel, even more than what Netanyahu wanted? Well, as one that knew Lindsay Graham personally, that doesn't shock me or surprise me. However, it discussed me as a conservative and as one who focuses on America First policies, the last thing that we want to see happen is Americans hard-earned tax dollars being directed to a foreign country and a U.S. senator fighting so hard to make sure that more and more,

more American dollars go to Israel. And that's exactly what so many Americans are sick and tired and fed up with. However, I would like to point out BB Netanyahu's arrogance as he reminds Americans, and I think that was on Fox News, that how many presidents made sure that there was aid and money and weapons that go to Israel as he talked about Lindsey Graham, and then he talked about Lindsey Graham going above and beyond. he's reminding Americans that because that is exactly what he expects. And I think it's, he also says this to push buttons and outrage people because it has outraged people. It's outraged

many Americans. The majority of Americans are fed up with it. And but I can tell you right now, Lindsey Graham, he was a great politician. He truly was. And he was very good at making sure that Americans tax dollars were spent. And that's one of the reasons why we are in 40 trillion dollars in debt today because of lifetime politicians like Lindsey Graham. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you didn't mean great politician as a compliment in that sentence. So, okay, so we're going to go to his final mission in a second. But I wanted to show you more of that interaction with Netanyahu so you get a full sense of what we mean. Let's watch. The last conversation I have, with him. I said, Lindsay, we've come of age. We have a robust economy. We can we can take care of our

own financing our own weapons for the defense of Israel and defense of our common interest with America. So I'm going to phase out the support, the military support for Israel over a period of years and bring it down to zero. We can do it. And he went ballistic. He said, no way, You can't do that because he was so concerned with our security, which he believed was your security, that he actually fought the prime minister of Israel on keeping America's aid or actually increasing it.

Okay, so apparently the monstrous amount of money we've given to Israel and the number of wars we've

committed on their behalf was not enough for Lindsey Graham. So that brings us to his final mission. He actually found out that, well, he knew he wasn't feeling well on Saturday. And his staff tried to get him to go to a hospital, but he wouldn't do it because he had to go on and meet the press on Sunday, he said. So let's try to find out what was it so important saving the world, you know, making sure we get the peace. What was his final mission here that he pretty much seems to have in some ways sacrificed his life for? Well, as Barack Ravid, as usual, explains on Ed Axios, he was discussing with a person who spoke, well here, let me quote him first, a person who spoke with Graham shortly afterward, said the

senator complained that he was feeling unwell. When the person urged him to seek medical attention immediately, Graham said he would do so Sunday morning after his scheduled appearance on NBC's meet the press. And why is that? Well, he said, I can't die now. I still need to do the Russian sanctions, get Iran sorted out, and do the Israel-Saudy normalization. So, okay, well, how about those three events? What is that? One is they claim he was trying to get to a peace deal with between Russia and Ukraine.

I've never seen Lindsey Graham ever be for peace under any circumstances. He was probably lobbying for a lot more war in that case against Russia. In the case of Iran, it was crystal clear what Lindsey Graham was for. He was going to go on meet the press and fight for more war and more war and all, of course, on behalf of Israel. By the way, and if you don't know, the Russia-Ukraine war has a lot of different reasons for it. And some of it is perfectly legitimate, in my opinion. But some of it also is driven by Israel wanting to weaken Russia that day in their opinion was helping proxies of Hamas and Hezbollah.

And so Israel is also very happy to keep that war in Ukraine going. And then the Saudi normalization with Israel is to cut out the Palestinians, make sure they don't get a state, and have the Arab states betray them in doing a deal with Israel. So, and as they continue to explain on Axios, Graham's plan was to begin in intensive diplomatic push after Israel's October elections and the U.S. midterms with the goal of reaching a deal before the new Congress was sworn in January. Graham believed that the war with Iran had to be brought under control, especially the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. Well, that sounds like he wants it to end.

No, no. He had urged Trump to authorize a short, overwhelming military operation to reopen the strait if diplomacy failed. So look, I've got more on his legacy, but let me bring you back in, Marjorie. So we're all supposed to mourn, according to Washington, the passing of Lindsey Graham and what a beloved senator, and there's all sorts of talk about, oh, he was so nice to Cory Booker and other Democrats, and what a lovely person he was. And I don't know any of that in person, and you might, I don't.

And that could easily happen. You know, there are a lot of terrible people in the world who are not impolite in person, right? But what I do know is that he always pushed for war. On Iraq war alone, hundreds of thousands of civilians died because of the wars that Lindsey Graham pushed. So I don't have any complicated feelings about Lindsey Graham. I think he was a terrible person and I don't mind saying it the day after he dies.

And I think he got, and I care. So much more about the people he got killed. But, you know, Washington says that's very impolite. So I'm curious what you think of Lindsey Graham's record. Well, having served in Congress for five years, I can tell you the ways of Washington is there are plenty of people there that are completely nice people. They're pleasant to be around. They may be fun. They have great senses of humor. That was Lindsey Graham. Lindsay Graham was he would talk to anybody. and he did have a great sense of humor. He was funny, fun-loving.

He had tons of energy, and he worked diligently on the things that he cared about. But I can also tell you, I agreed, I disagreed wholeheartedly with many of his policies. He was a neocon warmonger. He was a murderer. He wanted to wipe out and kill many innocent people in Iran, in Gaza, in Lebanon.

He supported war more than anything. He never wanted peace. The only time he may have been interested in peace was because this war is hurting the midterms for President Trump and Republicans. However, one thing about Lindsey Graham that we can all say for sure is he was a dedicated Zionist. And that's why he worked so diligently to send as much money as possible, weapons as possible for Israel. But he was also, he may have been an elected U.S. senator, but he really was the greatest lobby. that the military industrial complex could ever have holding power in Washington. And his state, South Carolina, has over 400 military contractors, over 400 that Lindsey Graham made

sure that got all types of contracts, grants, got all types of U.S. tax dollars to continue their work to serve the military industrial complex. So it is an interesting thing of how everyone's being shamed and told you can't say anything negative about Lindsay Graham. Look, we can say two things. We can say, oh yeah, he was a delightful person to be around. But at the same time, I disagreed with him adamantly on many, many issues. And it's okay to say both of those things. Yeah, two things can be true at the same time.

Again, I don't know anything about him on a personal level. So if Cory Booker says he was a swell guy, fine. I don't really care, though. Right. So, you know, George W. Bush who always joked around with people and gave him nicknames, Big Slim and stuff. Seems like a pleasant guy, you know, in real life, maybe. But he started a war that got hundreds of thousands of people killed.

And so that is a far more relevant part of George Bush's career. Okay, so I want to give the audience more context for what we're talking about. So they understand from Lindsey Graham's own mouth, the things that he advocated for. So let's start taking a look at that. To people in my party, I'm tired of this crap. Israel is our friend. They're the most reliable friend we have in the Mideast. A word of warning.

If America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us. Okay, so God is going to kill us all if we don't obey Israel. Interesting. Let's see what else this humanitarian has to say. Why is it okay for America to not to drop two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagu's to end their existential threat war. Why was it okay for us to do that? I thought it was okay.

To Israel do whatever you have to do to survive as a Jewish state. Senator, again, military officials say, whatever you have to do. So there is an indisputable monster advocating for nuclear war against what? The Palestinians? They barely have stones left. When you nuke someone, you incinerate children. I considerate children, babies, grandmothers, and that unmitigated monster is being celebrated

in Washington today. By the way, I haven't seen any weeping over the 23,000 dead children in Gaza. And so that's, and of course I mean by Washington, the American people have turned on these issues. We're not anywhere done yet, let's keep going with more from Lindsey Graham's own mouth. I just want to say I feel good about the Republican Party. I feel good about where we're going as a nation. We're killing all the right people and we're cutting your taxes.

This is my favorite president. We've run out of bombs. We didn't run out of bombs in World War II. Killing all the right people. By the way, he's speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition and they cheer wildly. Who do you think the right people are? Almost all Muslims, except to be fair, also some Christians as well. And wild applause for the war monger, genocidal maniac, Lindsay Graham.

And people ask us to be polite today? Okay, and then if you forgot about the Iraq war, one last one. I believe that Saddam Hussein is beginning, giving aid and comfort, training and assistance to al-Qaeda murderers, that he has weapons of mass destruction. He is lying when he says he does it, and he will never voluntarily disarm. 500 inspectors, 5,000 inspectors are not going to make him disarm. He is a danger to our country and the world. Of course, we found out who was lying.

And it was Lindsey Graham. He was lying about the Iraq war. He's lying about the Iran or he was lying about the Iran war now. And my co-host, Santa Casparian, wrote on X, Good Riddens. And people were outraged, Marjorie. Absolutely outraged. I didn't see any outrage for the dead children in Gaza. I didn't see any outrage for the hundreds of thousands slaughtered in Iraq.

let alone the thousand slaughtered in Iran and Lebanon and Gaza and all the wars that Lindsay Graham was in favor of. And I didn't see nearly as much mourning for the American soldiers and service members who died in Iraq and now Iran. So what do you make of his entire legacy? And then I have one more question for you after that. Well, I wholeheartedly agree with Anna. And so just to be clear, the Lindsay Graham war mongering and blatant murder is really you can call him a murder. And other politicians like him, they're murderers because they demand it. They demand war.

They demand that our tax dollars pay for war. They demand that American-made weapons be sent to kill people. And you're absolutely right, Jank, about all the innocent children in Gaza. and in Lebanon that have been bombed and brutally murdered by the IDF and Israel as a whole is unspeakable. And I will tell you that it's that wing of the Republican Party that so many of us voted to destroy, we wanted to end it. And we thought we were going to do that with President Trump. And boy, have we been wrong. One of the great things that Lindsey Graham was very good at was budding up with Donald Trump. And he was able to sway Donald Trump to his side, to his view.

And that's been one of the biggest betrayals that for people like me, we consider it a betrayal. We consider it one of the worst things that have happened. And it sickens me every single day. And it wasn't supposed to be that way. So in that first clip that you showed when Lindsay Graham said to people in my party, he was talking to me. He was talking to me in a few. Tucker Carlson and a few of us because we have been so outspoken against his views and his demands for murder and for war. And it should be constantly called out. It's not wrong to call it out after someone's death. As a matter of fact, it's very important to talk about it because Lindsey Graham has been elected in Congress since 1993 and became a senator in 2003. So his views

and his war mongering and his demand for murder around the world, which also led to murder and deaths and PT, you know, all sort of horrific trauma for our American troops, he's responsible for that. And the future of this country is something that we should all take hold of and say, enough, we have had it with this. We want no more of it. But I can tell you right now,

there is no end in sight as Donald Trump continues this war. And he wrote a letter tonight and put it out actually today, put it out today, ending the MOU, ending the memorandum of understanding, ending the ceasefire and going straight back into full-scale war with Iran. Yeah, we're going to talk about that later in the show. That is an epic disaster headed in our direction and brought to you by people like Lindsey Graham, who always loved disaster as long as they let the profits for his donors, which leads me to my last question on this topic. So, Representative Green, we're told by journalists and reporters in DC that no, no, the money barely affects the people in Congress. Yes, the donors that give millions of dollars might have slight influence and they might get their calls return.

But really, it's no big deal to the politicians in D.C. And so in the case of Lindsey Graham, he was funded by the military industrial complex, the defense contractors, and by Israel. So, you know, it was always hard to tell who he cared more about. The defense contractors that always wanted war, Israel who always wanted war. So I'm curious about your take on who he really served there. And I get that it's both. But I'm curious, I sometimes got the sense that he served. In his case, the defense contractors even more than Israel.

And every politician in my, almost every politician in my experience, has some sort of top donor that they work for, that they have like these little niches, right? So who's right? Is it most of the reporters in DC who say, no, this is a lovely gentleman slightly influenced by his donors? Or did he work basically lock, stock and barrel for those, especially those two particular donors, the defense contractors in Israel? Pretty much every politician in Washington, no matter which party they're in, serve their donors. They serve the people that fund their elections. No, no candidate, no politician can get reelected without funding their campaign. It's a necessary part of a very nasty business. And there needs to be big changes there. And so, of course, he served his donors. 100%. He served the military industrial complex, but he served the

Israel lobby, perhaps even bigger. But I would say Lindsey Graham as a whole, you could look at him and his policies, his votes, the things he pushed for. He served the American war economy. And, Jank, this is something that can never be overlooked and needs to be talked about more and more. Because the American War economy is the business in Washington, D.C. And this is the business that they have been in for a very long time. It started after World War II. It started in those World Wars, and it continued. And this is a business model that props up politicians, props up Lindsey Graham, and make no mistake.

They are going to do everything they can to make sure they put someone in place, not just his sister, that they, that they, that Governor McMaster's appointed today. But whoever is, uh, anointed next to win that August 11th special election that will go on to the November election, they're going to make sure that person is dedicated to the very same path and footsteps that Lindsay Graham was on. This will be someone that is compliant. Um, they will dress them up and try to make them as MAGA as possible and Trump approved for all the Fox News viewers and the boomers that are glued to, Fox News all day long to vote in that election, but they will make sure that whoever replaces

Lindsey Graham is 100% dedicated to the American War economy. And it's the American War economy that we have to defeat, Jank. That is one of the biggest things that I don't care how you vote, left, right, middle, in between, or you're sick of voting. That is the number one problem that we have to rip by the root out of both parties and out of Washington, D.C. I couldn't agree more. It's money in politics that's driving all of these problems, not just in regards to foreign policy and war, but in almost every problem we have in this country. If we don't get rid of the corruption, we will have endless wars and our country representing foreign governments and corporations to no end. As to who's going to replace Lindsey Graham,

we're going to talk about that next. So stay right here. And if you want to hear our interaction with the viewers and the members, become a member through tyt.com slash join or hit the join button below on YouTube. We'll come right back and talk about who we think should replace him and who's actually going to replace him. I want to tell you about a new podcast series I'm enjoying from future hindsight, Occupy an unfinished uprising. Occupy Wall Street is the story of the improbable becoming possible. In 2008, millions of people were devastated by an economic crash caused by Wall Street greed.

But it wasn't until 2011 that there was a mass response from the left. A call to protests went out and thousands of people responded. I know, I was there. They raged against a system that was rigged against them and tried to create their own anti-capitalist village in a small Manhattan park. The movement quickly spread across the country inspiring hundreds of occupations and a new generation of activists. Occupy an unfinished uprising is told through the voices of activists

who camped out in Zaccati Park for almost two months, getting inside the drama of a movement that grew rapidly, felt both transcendent and chaotic, and then violently flamed out. Occupy changed the national conversation about capitalism, popularized the language of the 99% and inspired a generation of activists. As we approach Occupy's 15th anniversary this September, this series offers a reminder that collective action can reshape what seems possible. To listen, search for future hindsight wherever you get your podcast.

All right, back on the social break here. I'm going to read these blind and then, you know, if people say things that are inappropriate, we'll live with it. Nomad said, Graham wanted to nuke Gaza. God had enough of this satanic monster and sent him flames where he will meet his idols like Hitler and IDF Nazis. So that brother is obviously a little bit more animated than even we are. But yeah, Lindsay Graham is in rare company with people who have advocated. for the deaths of millions of people.

Not a category I'd want to be in. Virginia VA, 39 says, and one of the good thing I say about Graham was that he was an okay tipper. I was his waitress several times and his money always went to Wolfpack. Oh, that's awesome. So thanks, Lindsay, for helping get money out of politics. Virginia, you're the best. And so that confirms what everybody's saying, a pleasant guy in person and says,

oh, but then shouldn't we murder a bunch of people? I hear Ted Bundy was nice in person until, of course, he murdered you. Wedge said, what are the odds? Mitch made it through the weekend, but not Graham. Did he? We'll talk about that a little bit later in the show. Mad Chemist, so tired of hearing, oh, look at this, okay, well, this is what happens when you read comments blind, so tired of hearing from MTG, that's our guest host today,

you quit, you left Congress while telling everyone else to fight Trump, shut up and stay out of politics, quitter, they say, thanks for taking my tax dollars for nothing. Marjorie, real quick, 25 seconds here, but can you address that? Well, yes, Trump called me a traitor and then there were death threats on my son's life. And then the president texted me that I deserved it and it was my fault. And I dedicated millions of dollars and helped to the Republican Party and not a single elected Republican defended me from the president's attacks. And so I would say to that person that made that. Terns Jane Huger, Marjorie Taylor Green co-hosting with me today.

I want to let her finish her thought from the interaction we were having in a second. Let me just quickly say this, Mill House 513 and Weed Eater, thank you for joining through YouTube and Jay Jubay Dula 4 Arby Straps, Tim D-O-1, Accidental Pundit, Mr. Bunnypants, that's hilarious, and all Debs love, thank you guys for joining through tyt.com slash join. That helps the show a lot. We have lost all institutional help and we need you guys more than ever. If you think that radical Zionists aren't in the business of trying to cut off the money and attacking a show that doesn't support Israel, then you obviously don't know what's

happening in this country. Okay, before we go to the Lindsey Graham's replacement, Marjorie, during the commercial breaks, we interact with the members if they're on the member stream and then another benefit of membership, but somebody had addressed you quitting and they were mad that you quit Congress. You explained why Trump attacking you and other Republicans backing you up. And then you were gonna say one last thing and I wanna give you a chance to say. Well, one last thing is I co-sponsored the term limit bill every single Congress. And I never went to Washington to be another Lindsey Graham or Mitch McConnell.

And the term limit bill says that three terms is the limit. And so that was something that was important to me. But death threats on my children and my own life and serving in an institution and for a party that is not serious about actually delivering the campaign promises they made to their voters is not something I'm going to dedicate my life to. And so I would say that anyone that wants to criticize me from their keyboard or thumbing in nasty comments on their phone, why don't they run for Congress and actually see what they can get accomplished instead of attacking them. me. All right, there you go. Didn't think that you were going to be a wilting flower on that one. No.

Okay. Nor do I really care what they think, so there's that. All right. So now let's go to our next story. We all found out this weekend, of course, that Lindsey Graham had passed away. And I want to ask Marjorie Taylor Green in a minute who she thinks should replace him and who will replace them. Those are two different answers, of course. But first, let me tell you a little bit more about it.

I'll tell you a little bit more about it. So obviously, they need as many votes as they can in the Senate because of how tight things are in Congress. So according to the Wall Street Journal, this coming week, the Senate is scheduled to consider the nomination of Trump's Attorney General Pick Todd Blanche. On Wednesday, the nominee is said to have his confirmation hearing from the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which Graham was a member. Graham's death could make it harder for the Senate to quickly confirm Blanche, given that Democrats

are expected to be sharply opposed. And the majority was 52 to 47, but Mitch McConnell is. is indisposed right now in a hospital somewhere, we are told, and obviously Lindsey Graham has passed. So they need to fill this replacement right away. And they have, we'll tell you who that is. But remember, there's a temporary replacement, and then there's the person who would replace him on the ballot because he was running for reelection in this cycle. So those are two different issues, and we'll give you both of those in a second. But the Wall Street Journal continues. The process to replace Graham is straightforward.

Governor Henry McMaster, a Republican can appoint a temporary replacement immediately to serve out the rest of Graham's term, and later in the day he did, which ends in January. Once someone fills the position, Republicans will be back to a 53-47 majority, though Senator Mitch McConnell remains unavailable. Then the state would hold a redo of the Republican primary to select a new nominee to take Graham's place on the ballot, given the state's deep red lean, they say. The winner of the special primaries expect to be the favorite to keep the seat in the Republican hands. in November's election for the next six-year term. And so we've had a lot of different names that are already in the press. Let me run those by you. Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evatt, who Trump backed earlier.

Not for this seat, but for the earlier run. Representative Ralph Norman, represented Russell Fry, former Representative Trey Gowdy, former South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, former Senate candidate Mark Lynch, current Secretary of Treasury for the United States, Scott Besson, former governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and former Representative Nancy Mace, and that one is very controversial. She tweeted about how just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. Mike Lawler, who is a rabid Zionist in Congress, was outraged, outrage, I say.

He said literally no one is pulling you back in, though it's supposed to grotesque, taking glee over the potential of becoming a senator because of a vacancy created by the sudden death of your colleague is vile, completely unfit to serve. I happen to think that that's not why they're mad at Nancy Mason. I have different reasons that I wouldn't want Nancy Mason office. But again, we'll talk it through in a second with Marjorie Taylor Green was a little bit different note. But I got to tell you who they did pick to do the interim Senate position. And President Donald Trump on Monday, as the Washington Post reports,

recommended that Darlene Graham Nordone serve out the term of her late brother, Senator Lindsey Graham, and she was part of his apparently his kitchen cabinet, and that might have been quite literal in their family kitchen. I don't know, you know, they were very close to siblings. We are told to what degree she knows foreign policy or politics or anything is not clear, to what degree she will serve power is crystal clear, in my opinion, if she wasn't going to serve the world, war machine in Israel, there's about a 0% chance they would have picked her. But first, Marjorie, what do you think of the replacement? And then who do you think is likely to win in that melee and who do you want to win? Well, I don't know Lindsey Graham's sister, but I can tell you right

now that the only people they will consider picking will be people that will have completely obedient votes. So I'm sure they're expecting that out of Senator Graham's sister, and I'm sure she will obviously comply. However, who they pick for the special election and who Trump endorses is the one that people should be more concerned about. And they will, they will vet them very carefully and make sure that these are very serious Trump loyalists. These will be vetted on all of their views. And if they have a voting record as a sitting member of Congress or elected politician, that will be looked at.

And of course, it will be the APAC donors, the RJC, the entire Israel lobby will be consulted on who they prefer to replace Lizzie Graham. And their voices, unfortunately, will be listened to. and this is completely America last, as always. So I would say I think anyone that's very America first and is sick and tired of the neocon establishment Republican Party is not interested in Israel controlling your elected officials, you should probably be against whoever Trump endorses. But we'll see who that is, but there will be an endorsement very quickly,

given that that special election is August 11th. Yeah, so the filing period starts on July 21st. They have a week to file and then afterwards the primary, special primary is going to take place on August 11th. And if no candidate wins outright, there'll be a runoff on August 25th. The reason I tell you all that is because it's a super tight window. So what Representative Green is saying about who Trump picks as the candidate will to endorse, will have an enormous effect on the South Carolina voters, and that person is far more likely to breeze through this process. So do you have a sense from the list I read of who it might be,

who the most loyal servant of the establishment is in the Republican Party in South Carolina? Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he picked Russell Fry. That's someone that is definitely a Trump loyalist and will never rock the boat. We'll take direct orders and make sure they have is somebody that the president likes very much. There's a few others on that list that I'm sure the deep state would love. Of course, that would be Trey Gowdy. That's a Fox News correspondent or host. That's also a former congressman serving, I believe, on the Judiciary Committee while he was in Congress.

That would be someone that I wouldn't be surprised if it is being highly considered. I highly doubt they will pick Nancy Mace. She would have to make some really tough deals if they did pick her. But I see that as a complete long shot. Yeah. So look, I have objections to Nancy Mace for a lot of her positions that you might agree with her on. I don't know. And she's a little bit wild in how she conducts herself, that weird pajama run.

in the, you know, they're driving to DC on some boat. Just strange in a lot of ways. But my objections are not the same as the establishment's objections. Their number one objection was that she voted to release the Epstein Piles. So she became persona non grata there while everyone pretends that it's not connected to Israel and that Israel doesn't control Washington. The minute anybody voted for that, they instantly, as you know, better than anyone else, became toxic in Washington. So there's no chance that they will support her.

But is there any chance you think that she could win despite the lack of support from Trump or Washington? I think that would be a tough hill for her to climb. She came in fifth place in the governor's primary race in South Carolina. So I think that would be a long shot for her. So I think that's pretty tough. Yeah, all right, well, we'll find out. But for now, it's his sister who will now probably,

very, very, very likely start voting for wars, warding for Israel, voting for any other thing that the donor class wants. So the chance of someone that is going to represent you in the South Carolina in the next Senate seat doesn't seem overly high. Okay, let's keep going because now we got a super important story about an American congressman detained in Israel, so let's go to that. Sir, why did you not coordinate with Israel on this? knowing their staunch allies of the United States, knowing the recent history of the October 7th massacre.

And most importantly, why did you decline to meet with Jewish survivors of the Hamas terror attacks on October 7th? The ambassador is lying. We did inform- Sir, at a certain point, if everybody is lying. But just, sir, you have now said the ambassador is lying, the IDF is lying, the US embassy is lying. At a certain point- Now, the US embassy, I praised. I praise the you know, so the ambassador is blatantly lying.

Representative Roecona was detained by Israeli settlers first with American made weapons. And then he was detained by the IDF and the road was blocked. And we've got a lot more to the story, including the reactions, some of which you just saw there with Fox News. So of course, everybody who works there works for Israel. So the way they viciously attacked Roe Kana was borderline hilarious because of how obvious they made it that they work for Israel. We'll come back to that as well. But before we do any of that, first I wanted to get your reaction, Marjorie, to the detention itself. So a U.S. congressman, and he said that they were laughing and saying that who cares that you told the American embassy?

Basically, the settlers and the idea of were intimating that America has no power over us. We could do anything we want to, a U.S. congressman, and there won't be any consequences. Yeah, and the tragic thing is they're pretty much right. I mean, it was outrageous. I cannot believe they did that to a United States congressman. He should have never been treated that way. Our so-called greatest ally should never hold and detain one of our elected officials that serve in Washington, D.C. And I watched a lot of paid MAGA influencers attack Rokana. And they were saying he had no right to be there. That's not the California district that he represents. Those aren't his voters. And they were attacking him for all kinds of things. But here's the reality. The people in Rokana's district, their tax dollars go to Israel.

And the people in Rokana's district are sick and tired of the genocide and sick and tired of America putting Israel's interest over their district, over every district in the entire country. And so good for Rokana for actually going there because this is one of the, the top issues and the establishment media and the establishment Washington, D.C. press and and the government itself doesn't want that to be the case. But the reality is you go talk to regular Americans on the street pretty much in any district, in any city, in any state across this country. And they're fed up with it, Jank. They're sick of it. And that is all kinds of voters. It's not just the left. It is the right as well. However, it's Washington that is trying

to change the narrative and they wanted to make Rokana be the bad guy in that case. And I don't think he was the bad guy in that case. No, so he's trying to find out how we're spending our money. And he found out we're spending it by giving it to a bunch of terrorists who mock us openly. Yep. And they use the weapons that we bought for them to detain, not just the US congressman, as we'll show you later, they also attacked a CNN crew in a completely different instance. And for other Americans who were with Rokana.

And by the way, some of them were Jewish Americans. And Israel doesn't care about that at all. They don't care about religion. They're nationalist zealots. And so first, let me just show you what happened to Rokana in the West Bank. Let's watch. As a congressman, I never expected to be the target of settler violence. But when we visited a school in Zanuda village that settlers had burned down, we were detained by settlers wielding M4 guns who blocked our van from leaving the site.

They called additional settlers for support and held us captive for 75 minutes, recording videos, laughing at us and mocking me and my staff. I will never forget their faces. What angered me most is that the IDF soldiers who came to the scene supported the violent settlers over American citizens. Yeah, unfortunately, we've heard that story from a lot of Palestinian Americans, but our media doesn't care. Our media 100% supports Israel. And in that Fox News interview, we showed you in the beginning, if you watched the whole thing, it was an amazing sight to behold, as the anchor kept saying, Why would we believe you? The Israelis have said the opposite.

So we believe the Israeli government more than our own Congress people? And so let's share that with you guys. And here's Ambassador Leiter and what he had to say about this. We reached out to him when we heard he was going to Israel, the Israeli ambassador in Washington. As all congressmen do, they coordinate their trip with the Israeli government. We suggested he visit with the survivors of the October 7th massacre, that he visit the borders so he understands the issues that we have on our borders and so on. He ignored that, and he decided to coordinate his trip, not with Israel, but with Palestinian

activists and with J Street, which is an anti-government, anti-Israeli government, advocacy group here in Washington. So he coordinated- It's a Jewish lobby group. Well, it's- That is supportive of a different path for Israel. Yeah, yeah. I play tennis once a year. That doesn't make me a tennis player. Congressman Kana has made no secret about his antipathy towards the government of Israel as well. So perhaps if he would have coordinated the trip. And then, you know, to have this incident on Wednesday and wait to release it on Saturday, maybe this had more something to do with his support of Graham Platner beforehand and the difficulties he had with that and trying to shift the focus to something else.

perhaps, I'm asking a question. Instead of apologizing for what they did to a U.S. congressman, he does a political attack against him, as mentions Graham Platner. He says, why did he release it a couple of days later? Because he was still stuck in Israel, a terrorist, fascist state where they threaten him with guns. If he releases that when he's still inside Israel, God knows what they do to him. And he knows that.

Did he tell Israel that he was coming? Absolutely. He told the Israelis, he told the U.S. Embassy, that's what the Israeli ambassador is lying about. Did he meet with survivors? Yes, on earlier trips with Israel. But in this, the only thing he didn't do here is Israel demands that you sign up for a propaganda trip, where they block you from seeing the horrors that they have done in Gaza and the West Bank. And he coordinated and told him he was coming, but he didn't want to go on the propaganda trip. He wanted to see what's actually happening in the West Bank.

They're like, how dare you get back on the propaganda line, okay? Well, he didn't, and that's why Israel is now attacking him. And J. Street is a Jewish-American lobbying group lobbying on behalf of Israel, but a better version of Israel. And even that's not enough because you have to be a Lakutenik, you have to be a radical, lunatic Zionist in order to satisfy Israel. But that's not all. Before I go back to Marjorie Taylor Green, I'm going to show you one more to give you a sense of how much all of the establishment, Now, as Lindsay Graham passed, like, oh, beloved U.S. senator, we all love U.S. politicians. Oh, a U.S. politician got humiliated by the Israelis and held at gunpoint.

Shut up, American politician. You're irrelevant. Only Israel's relevant. So now here comes Kathy Manning, a former congresswoman, who now serves as the, I love this portion of the APEC umbrella groups. She serves as the chair of the Democratic majority for Israel. And then when you challenge out on it, they're like, no, no, no, no. How dare you say we're working for Israel? It's in your name.

It's in your title of your group. Okay, listen to this person. I was concerned about the incident Congressman Roe Kana had in the West Bank. I'm relieved that he and everyone traveling with him are safe. I have said many times that settler violence is unacceptable. It's wrong, it must be prosecuted, and it undermines Israel's security and the prospects for peace. At the same time, Congressman Kana's trip had all the hallmarks of a political stunt rather than a genuine effort to understand this complex conflict. If your goal is to learn, you don't seek out only one perspective.

It is extremely disappointing that Congressman Kana didn't take the time on this trip to meet with Israelis living along the northern border who have endured relentless attacks from Hezbollah. Nor did he meet with the victims and families whose lives were forever changed by Hamas's October 7 terrorist attacks. Those voices also matter, and any sincere effort to understand this conflict should include them. Okay, it's important for you to understand that she's lying and she's lying on purpose. And they put out like this pleasant looking woman, oh yeah, well, the settlers are a little problematic, but you know, he wouldn't meet with the host. No, that's a total and utter lie. Three different times Roe Kana went to Israel and did the normal tours that they do.

And not only did he meet with the hostages that hostage families during the Gaza crisis, he fought super aggressively to get the hostages released. Now, a Democratic majority for Israel and Fox News both know that, but they choose to lie about him on purpose to try to smear him as someone who doesn't care about those people. So Marjorie, I've seen a lot of nonsense photo ops, especially at the border where both politicians from both sides go and they look at the border as if they're gonna learn anything from there, right? It's just an invisible line, like, okay, if you go to visit a facility or something, maybe

you get a context. So I'm not saying that there aren't nonsense photo ops in politics. There are a ton, right? But in this case, he's going to see a village that was destroyed by the Israelis. They say you're not allowed to see the places we've destroyed with your money. They're not, you're not allowed to see the Palestinian American family who was murdered. The American was 21 years, it was a young guy who was murdered. I think he was about 21 years old. And you're not allowed to see his family. You're not allowed to see their destroyed. I don't know anything that was less of a photo op and an actual fact gathering mission and a fact gathering mission that no other American politician is allowed on by the thugs and terrorists that we finance in Israel.

So what's your take on this? This is twofold here. Number one, photo op or as relevant as trip as you could have in foreign policy. And then secondly, what do you make of the entire establishment turning on Rokana and clearly all supporting Israel's side? not surprised by that at all. And of course they're going to do that. They have to continue that storyline. Because when the truth comes out and the truth is there's tens of thousands of dead children, dead children and babies and women and elderly people that have been horrifically bombed and murdered and shot and blown apart and buried in buildings that have been destroyed. And when that truth comes out, they are going to have a very serious. problem on their hands. So of course they're going to continue to attack Rokana. They'll attack any person that goes over there to try to expose the truth because look at what they did to all these journalists, Jank. The IDF has murdered, I don't even know, hundreds of journalists and

independent journalists trying to expose the horrors that happened in Gaza. But it's also in these areas. I've spoken to many Christians, many Christians that live there, Palestinian Christians, they get attacked spit on. They've had their homes stolen, their property destroyed. They are constantly being persecuted by the Israelis. And so it's not just Muslims, it's Christians as well. And they're going to do everything they can to continue the narrative because the truth is so ugly that this entire world will be shocked when they find out how horrific it is.

I can't forget some of the stories I can't get past. One of them I can't get over is that an IDS soldier shot a woman sitting in a tent while she was nursing her baby. And almost I think the baby was shot as well. I mean, these are the stories. These are the real stories that have happened and have been happening for years. And Israel is going to do everything they possibly can to cover it up. And they will attack anybody, anybody that tries to expose the truth. And so is it a photo op or is it an actual mission?

I think the truth is worth fighting for and exposing, especially when it comes to exposing the evils and the horrors that have been committed there. And look, October 7th was horrible. I'll go along with that too. And I have no problem saying that as well. I'm totally against murdering people and I'm totally against war. So both sides of it is horrific. But for them to try to turn everyone back on the propaganda train, is the obvious thing they're going to continue to do.

I never went on any of the APEC trips to Israel, so I never had to endure that kind of propaganda trip, thank God. And I never took their money. But they're going to continue to do that to any U.S. politician, whether it's federal, state, and even on the local level. Yeah, so now some facts to back up what Representative Green is saying. 250 journalists have been killed by Israel inside Gaza. That's according to the International Federation of Journalists and Committee to Protect

Journalists also says it's well over 200 journalists murdered by Israel. American doctors come back and say that there are sniper shots to the head and chest of children. A shocking percentage of the children that were brought in had those. They were assassinated by IDF snipers. These are clearly terrorists. Here's who else backs this up. The Israeli press, the oldest paper in the Israeli press.

Israel is Heretz, their editorial board said that Rokana was totally right. They added this at the end of their story. Thus, in addition to the security forces, which must come to their senses and resume dealing with such nationalist crimes, we also need protective intervention, either American or European, that will increase pressure on the government until the pogroms by law-breaking settlers come to an end. So while our American press lies to you about how the All of this is no big deal and Israel's done nothing wrong.

The Israeli press says, no, it's a pogrom what they're doing in the West Bank and what Roe-Kana was trying to expose. But since we mentioned the press, I do have to give credit to Jeremy Diamond, who has done terrific work. He's a sole light at CNN doing real reporting. I don't know how long he'll continue to be employed there because he's done stories like this. And his team also got attacked by the Israeli settlers and Israeli authorities.

Israeli authorities. Let's watch that real quick. Hear that? It's your money calling. It wants a promotion. Elevate your savings with the Scotia high interest savings account. Always earn high regular interest rates that grow the more you save and invest. Conditions apply. Visit scotiabank.com slash h-I-SA to learn more. Scotia Bank. You're richer than you think. Camel Muslet hasn't been able to reach this land in over a year. This is

the hillside where his son, safe, an American citizen, was killed. It's like it's down here if you want to walk. Beaten to death by Israeli settlers exactly one year ago. Since then, settlers have illegally occupied the area. Within seconds, we spot a car speeding towards us. We start to leave, but as we drive away, we see that four settlers have set up a roadblock. Armed with clubs and rocks, they try and block our way. First with their bodies and then.

And now it looks like he's trying to slash our tires. He's trying to slash our tires. Oh, he's got a knife. He's going to tie. A group of independent journalists and activists are in the car behind us. Move, move, move, bitch. But their vehicle isn't armored. Go, go, go, go.

Watch out, watch out. Without an armored car, without a bulletproof vest. How do I get to my land? It is unreal. They have no risk. respect for Americans at all. In fact, Marnry, 10 Americans have been killed in the last three years in Israel and not a single person has been arrested for any of them. They appear to be openly

mocking us. Yeah, I mean, they definitely are. They're emboldened and they're brazen and no one stops them. And even our own US ambassador, Mike Huckabee, basically defends and apologizes and sticks up for Israel relentlessly and and shames anyone that says anything negative. And it all goes back to a verse in Genesis that is widely misused to basically brainwash American Christians so that American Christians think they can never say anything against Israel. I'm a Christian, Jank. I'm also a conservative. And I can, anybody that's watching this show right now, if you're a Christian and you are supporting Israel, you need to take a hard look at what they do because they do not.

support your Christian values. I'll talk about this one. Israel has state-funded abortion up until the third term, nearly to the day of birth, and that is funded by the government, and our taxpayer dollars fund that. And they constantly are killing innocent people, and those aren't Christian values. However, it's the brainwashing that's happened for decades that has many Americans, especially American Christians, basically believing that we have to support Israel no matter what at all times. And that is completely and blatantly wrong. And I think this is a conversation that has to be continued to talk about

because more people need to be educated on this issue and educated on the crimes and the horrific, awful, unspeakable things that the government of Israel and the IDF supports and carries out in action and defend the actions of these settlers. Yeah. So we don't agree on the issue of abortion, as almost everybody knows. But I did ask to call out pro-life people. Now, this is several years ago, saying, wait, 23, well, at the time there was a smaller number.

Now it's 23,000 children have been killed in Gaza. And 1,000 babies have been killed. So those are direct kills, let alone the incubators where the plugs were pulled. let alone the, you know, all the consequences of the malnutrition and the starvation. But a thousand babies under the age of one were killed by Israel in Gaza. And I've got to give you and Representative Tom Massey credit because you guys were among the first to say, that's true. And if you're pro life in this country, that means you don't kill any babies, not, oh,

it's okay to kill Palestinian babies because Israel's funding us. So great credit to you on being principled there. Yeah, thank you for that. I appreciate it. Yeah, all right guys, since we have such limited time, I'm gonna blow out the next break. We're not gonna do it, so we're just gonna go to our next story because I really want to do this one with Representative Green as well. So let's go to that. Israel's contributions to America's defense are important. Our technology is incredible.

And since yours is incredible too, and you're the great champion of liberty and free. markets, I think the meshing of our two great countries of talent would strengthen the America's position, competitive position, both in the economic marketplace and in the military battlefield in many important ways. It certainly brings up some issues of sovereignty, but we'll have to work that out later. It was a bit shocking that Fox News' is Rachel Campo's stuff. He said that at the end, but mainly for 99% of the segment, they let him pretend that Israel in America would both gain from our militaries merging.

So I'm very curious about your take on that in a second. But I want to show the audience a little bit more from what Netanyahu said and then get Marjorie Taylor Green's reaction to it. So let's watch this. Prime Minister, will that drawing down of foreign aid from the United States to Israel be compensated by the proposal to have a merging of some sort between our Pentagon? and your military? Yeah, I'm calling it from from aid to partnership.

So we take away the money that is given to Israel, which is, which is one part. But the other part is we invest, co-invest in equal measures in the new technologies that are needed to give our military and your military the advantage. So we want there are some unbelievable projects. So we invest jointly and take the fruits equally. You move from aid to partnership, and I think that represents what Israel is. And remember the other thing is that we share with America unbelievable intelligence to save American life. General Keegan has said that when he was working in American intelligence, what Israel was giving the United States was worth, he said, five CIA's. Yet another insult to the Americans.

Although as we talked to John Kyriaku the other day, he's not entirely sure that the current CIA doesn't work for Israel. In fact, let me show you that clip real quick. When I first joined the CIA, we did not like the Israelis at all. They were spying on us. They made it clear. They openly spied on us. Is the CIA working for America or for Israel? You know, I hate to say this, but the only conclusion that I can draw is that it's working for Israel. And when you have this constant pressure from Capitol Hill where practically everybody is taking money from APEC. And they're primaried if they don't take money from APEC or if they don't tow the line that APEC sets,

then, you know, you lose that independence. And the next thing you know, you are working for the Israel. at least. Yeah, our guest host today, Marjorie Taylor Green, she wouldn't know anything about that. We'll come to her in one second, because I want to show you one last clip that's so important. Almost all of the media in America is lying on behalf of Israel as usual and pretending that they don't want any more money. But Benjamin Nanyahu actually clarified that in this same interview, watch this.

Do you have a timeline by which you would like to see that US foreign aid down to zero? Yes, it's military aid actually. Yeah, we were talking about beginning it this year and they're going for 10 years, but we might shorten it. And that was something, by the way, that I did when I was first elected and came to Congress, we had financial, not military support, but financial aid to Israel. And I said on my first speech before the joint session of Congress that we're going to bring it down to zero. And we did that in 10 years.

year went down until it finally disappeared. We could talk about that model. We're talking about that with the administration right now. That's hilarious. He's like we don't want any more money except for the next 10 years. And at the end of that, we can ask for more money and there's nothing stopping us. So no, they definitely want 10 more years of funding and they'd like to merge our militaries through Section 219.

Marjorie, what do you think of that? Well, you have to fact check me on this, but I think it was. was Marco Rubio who introduced that bill that made it 10 years. If my recollection is correct, I think it was Marco Rubio that got that put into place in the first place when he was a senator. I think it's outrageous. Let me tell you, this is the most dangerous thing that our current Congress and leadership is doing to this country. It is literally, once it's done, it's permanent and it will be completely invisible to the American people, at least right now. never voted for it. I was always against it. The $3.8 billion that goes to Israel every single

year is something that you, the American people, can see and you can know about. But once this fusion happens between our military intelligence and the Israeli intelligence, and they're sharing all types of government contracts, building weapons, and they're sharing all of this together, this will be something that you cannot see. This will be something that will be completely invisible to you, and it will cost a great deal more amount of money than $3.8 billion. This is what you should be screaming from the rooftops over and calling in every single day. But let me tell you something, they are going to push this through, and that's the terrifying part. And here, I'll give you something.

Democrats, if you put as much pressure as possible on your Democrat representatives and your Democrat senators, there's a chance that you could possibly get it to stop, but the Republicans are committed to getting it done. And that's what they're going to do because this is what Trump wants. This is what the White House wants. Don't forget the chief of staff is a former lobbyist for Israel and many defense companies. This is exactly what Netanyahu wants. And this is the deal of a lifetime. So you talk about the art of the deal. It's getting done in this one. And just before I came on your show tonight, Jank, I looked it up. I looked on the Rules Committee. And I did not see the NDAA scheduled this week on rules. That is something that could change. Oftentimes, just because

you don't see it on Monday, doesn't mean that it gets added to the schedule. Thomas Massey has an amendment to remove section 219 from the NDAA. 219 is a section that that passes this insane measure, absolutely insane. And it would be great if everyone can support it. However, I would be shocked. I would be shocked if his amendment makes it to the floor for a vote because Speaker Johnson, one of the biggest Zionists in Washington, will do everything he can from stopping this and allowing this merger to take place. But when it comes to talking about Israeli intelligence, a lot of that is lies. That's lies that gets told to people like President Trump. It gets told to many members of Congress so that they end up supporting something that they should never be supporting in the first

place. That's what Israeli intelligence does. And I can tell you most of the security briefings that I ever attended classified briefings as a member of Congress, the stuff that they would tell us in there was so ridiculous. It was either straight up propaganda to get us to vote a certain way, or it was garbage that was already out in the New York Times and in the mainstream media. And they were telling it to us and trying to make members of Congress feel all special because they were getting a classified security briefing. So the games are absolutely shocking. And I can tell you for a fact that most of your representatives and senators are just not even

intelligent enough or informed enough to see through the bullshit that they are fed every single day, especially when it comes to Israeli intelligence. Well, there was one thing that Netanyahu was telling the truth about in that clip. He said, we give you unbelievable intelligence. That's true, it's not believable at all. Fair point change. Yeah, I mean, and even the New York Times covered it in the beginning of this war, the Iran War, they came in and said, oh, Iran will never be able to close the strait or hoar moves.

And you'll be able to do regime change really quickly. That's the invaluable intelligence they give us. And look, honestly, unless they're in on it, that everyone in American media and in American politics or almost everyone, It's really the dimmest bulbs there is in the country. Any foreign government, of course, is going to give you intelligence for their own benefit. They're not going to be like, oh, you know what, this one doesn't help us at all. It's kind of counter to our interests. But here's some intelligence.

No, they give you intelligence for their own benefit. Like, you'd really have to be single digits in IQ not to know that. And so now when they merger our militaries, they get about a one to one and a half trillion of free money from us in all the money we spend on technology, data, our military, etc. And to back up what Representative Green was saying, Marco Rubio did introduce the last 10-year memorandum of understanding. If you don't know, Larry Ellison in an email that DropSight News obtained, told the Israeli ambassador to the UN, I'll vet Marco Rubio for Israel. And then he did and he came back and he said, I gave him $5 million into his super PAC and he is going to basically work for Israel now.

And so he did in Congress. He works for them in the administration. And by the way, his co-sponsor on that bill was Chris Coons, Joe Biden's top ally in the Senate. Joe Biden's top donor lifetime, also Israel. Has Israel given money to Chris Coons on the Democratic side? Of course. They've given them 94% of Congress. And that Massey amendment that the Representative Green just referred to is the Massey-Kana

amendment. So who are they attacking right now in the press? Rokana, who did the Israeli lobby spent $16 million defeating? Tom Massey. So this is super obvious to anyone paying attention. But all of our press and all of our politicians go, no, I can't see it, I can't see the obvious corruption. And so last one here, Marjorie, how devastating is it if we do this merger? How hard will it be to reverse it?

Well, it's catastrophic. It'll be basically irreversible. Look how hard it is for Americans to defeat an incumbent in a primary on both sides of the aisle. You can hardly ever defeat an incumbent. It's very, very difficult. Can you imagine how hard it would be to get people elected that would undo that? That would take decades. Absolutely take decades if it could ever happen.

Once Congress sets something in motion, they never undo it, Jank, ever. You can look at every single government program. There's many bills that were passed that never have sunset clauses. They don't end anything. Once it sets in motion, it's the most dangerous thing that could happen for the United States because the American military or United States military, all of a sudden becomes the tool for Israel. And that's exactly what they want. This is why Netanyahu has calls President Trump constantly, why he's visited the United States so many times,

why APEC and all of the Israeli lobby wooes are elected officials and does everything they can do to bring them into that propaganda train because they want more than anything to control the United States military. Well, guess what? They're about to get it. And it'll be something that's completely invisible to you all. No one will know what's happening. You don't know what happens and what is shared in these closed door meetings. You don't know what type of intelligence is shared between countries. This is something you rarely find out about.

You can know about $3.8 billion that shouldn't be sent to them anyways. That's one thing you can see. But once this happens, you won't know anything. But you will see Israel use our military and abuse our military into, I would imagine, all types of horrors. Unfortunately, that sounds exactly right. All right, Marjorie Taylor Green, thank you so much for joining us on the Young Turks today. Really appreciate it. Thank you. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, no problem. And look, I know some on both sides are opposed to. us talking together and us working together on ending the war and ending our so-called alliance with Israel and all of our endless funding of Israel. But I love that the right and the left are getting together on behalf of America. I think it's actually one of the most positive developments I have had in our lifetimes. So thank you for being important. I totally agree. Thank you, Jank. The only people against us talking together are the Zionist. Have you ever noticed that? It's the bots in the comments and the Zionists, they want to keep us divided because the left and right comes together on this issue,

we will defeat them and we'll take our country back. I'm looking forward to it. All right, thank you. All right, when we come back, the Iran war is back on and this time for real and here we go. And it seems like nobody in Washington really understands what's going to happen next. We'll talk about that. And is Mitch McConnell dead or alive? People are still debating it for good reason. We'll be right back. Hey y'all, it's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. Ever order furniture online and wonder what if? Like, what if it doesn't hold up?

That sofa was four days old. You should have ordered from Wayfair. With Wayfair, there's no what if. Just style you love and quality you can trust. Visit Wayfair.ca. Wayfair, every style, every home. I don't care if you're Christian. In fact, I will fight for you to have your religious liberty

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

interpret the Bible. Again, I don't care, but you don't get to take the Bible and tell me, while the Bible says this, in this chapter and this verse, I don't care. I don't care. I don't believe in it. And I have the right based on our Constitution to not believe in it. The thought of Gaza has been left on Skate. Ain't a whole lot left? I don't know why they need any more bomb. Let us be clear. The United States provided $18 billion in military aid to Israel, Netanyahu, indiscriminate department have killed more than 50,000 civilians, 60% of whom are women, children, paramedics, and journalists, all of this is against basic human decency. You don't starve children with absolutely no humanitarian aid getting into Gaza.

It is a war crime. It is illegal for the United States government. to provide Israel with more offensive weapons. We will not forgive us. We've been on our phones too much. I feel like we just need to touch grass or something. I told you. I mean, you know what?

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

Do you use a phone? Noble Mobile will cut your work. bill in half every month and you get paid even more if you log off look up and touch grass. Oh, I actually have some grass if you... I don't think that's the kind of grass, unfortunately. Whoa, wait, what the... Whoa. I guess that kind of grass works too. All grass works.

All grass and we get cash? Did you see that? Thanks. Noble Mova! Make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it... That didn't rain so good. But now it's raining good. Corruption, injustice, the system is rigged against you.

Every day we're blasted by a flurry of terrible news from every angle, which can make it challenging to stay positive and know how to fight back. The damage report is your solution. I'm John Adorola and my daily morning show cuts through the noise and exposes the real damage being done to our country, the world, and how we can fight back against it. Corporate greed crushing workers, we'll name names. Politicians selling you out for their corporate overlords, we've got the receipts. Climate disaster, economic collapse, the rise of fascism, no spin, no establishment talking points,

just the truth that you need to survive and resist. But it's not all doom and gloom. We'd love to have you join the Dragon Squad, our community of positive-minded activists who turn the day's news into positive action. With new episodes every weekday, listen to the damage report to get honest news on flinching commentary and daring coverage you won't find anywhere else. Listen to the damage report on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, because understand, the damage is the first step to fixing it. Back on TYi TJank, Yuga, Yasman Olai Khan with you guys. Yaz is also on Rebel H.HU.

Make sure you're checking that out on YouTube and everywhere else. So we have Rebel H.U. Great to see you, Yaz. We're short on time. So I'm gonna just jump right into the next story. Yes. Let's do it. So what you're looking at there is US Central Command confirmed the use of unmanned

surface vessels or sea drones against Iranian targets for the first time since the war. with Iran began, striking a submarine and a ship maintenance facility as the U.S. tries to take control of the straight one more time. So Yasma's got more details for us and facts for us as to what's happening here. And then we're gonna discuss, is this it? Are we going in for a third faction segment part of this disastrous around war? And could this be larger than any of the other ones combined. So yes, tell us about it. Yeah, well, if it wasn't clear enough last week, the U.S. has officially reengaged in conflicts with Iran right now. But this time, they are focusing specifically on the status of the Strait of Hormuz. And it gets a little bit

complicated and confusing. So on Saturday, it was reported that a Cyprus flagged container ship was struck by the IRC as it traveled through the strait. And 23 true members were stranded. and one was missing there. The IRGC said in a statement carried by the state broadcaster IRIB that same day, that its forces had struck the vessel because it had switched off its tracking systems and endangered maritime security. It claimed that it had fired a warning shot at the vessel, but that it did not change course. So the IRGC then announced that the Strait of Hormuz was once again closed to maritime traffic, and of course, Of course, the US was not very happy about all of this.

And this is what reignited a lot of the fighting. So the reporting says that the US military earlier Sunday said it hit some 140 targets, including missile and drone launch sites, ammunition dumps, communication equipment, and other sites, a far heavier set of attacks than in two previous rounds of strikes in the last week. And at least one of those strikes hit civilian infrastructure as well. One attack struck a water pumping station in Mashar County on the southern coast, killed and it killed the facility security guard and wounded for others, according to Iran's state broadcaster, IRIB. So now there's also indication of strikes

from the United States and they have now expanded beyond the coastal areas. So again, the reporting says that overnight, most U.S. bombing was still concentrated in areas along Iran's southern coast, but one attack struck a military facility in Nain in central Iran, killing one person and wounding seven others, the province's deputy governor told the Islamic run Republic News Agency. So according to AP News, Iran then retaliated with strikes on areas that are hosting our military forces, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Oman. And these are countries whose territorial waters all make up the straight of Iran. So they're all very geopolitically significant. And according to Reuters, Article 5 of the MOU says that traffic of commercial vessels would start immediately and that

Iran will begin making arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the sea of Oman and vice versa. And Tehran interprets this U.S. recognition of Iran's right to manage the whole water, way, albeit without charging fees or tolls for two months, the United States and the Gulf states reject that interpretation regarding the language as meaning only that Iran should facilitate safe passage for vessels and not impose restrictions backed up by force. So now that Iran has declared that the strait is closed again after multiple ships sailed through unapproved routes, the United States, as you can imagine, is not very happy.

This is what was posted by U.S. Central Command. And you can see here it says the claim is that the Iranian commander for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy recently said on state-owned media that no foreign vessels may pass through the Strait of Hormuz without being identified, tracked, and monitored by Iranian forces. But the fact is that Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz. It remains an international waterway. U.S. forces are positioned and prepared to keep it that way. And actually, Trump is saying that we do control the straight. Let's watch him say that. We had a deal, but nobody knows.

We had a deal. It was a done deal. And then they broke it. They always break it. We've had 10 deals with these people. And so we're just going to hit them very hard. And we're going to keep the straight. And we'll probably run it.

We'll become the guardian of the straight. Maybe you'll call it the guardian angel of the straight. And we should be reimbursed for that. When we do that, we're going to be reimbursed because the other nations are very wealthy. They're on our side. And we can't be expected to do that for nothing, unlike we had for many years. You know, we guarded the straight for 50 years more, and we never got paid for it. They made all the money, and the United States was just, you know, not.

They wouldn't, it's amazing. It's, we never made, we guarded it for nothing. And now we're going to guard it. We're going to get paid for guarding it. A lot of money. And of course, he had more to say because he always has more to say. And in a true social post this morning, he announced that the U.S. will reimpose its blockade of Iranian ports and will impose fees on cargo.

And you can see his truth post here says the Hormu Strait is open and will remain open with or without Iran. We are reinstating the Iranian blockade so named because it is only stopping Iran ships or customers from entering or leaving, all other countries will have fair and open use of the strait. The USA will be from this point forward known as the guardian of the Hormuz Strait. No, we will not be known as that. But as such, and as a matter of fairness, will be reimbursed at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the world. The process information will

begin immediately, he says. So just remember also that last month, Marco Rubio, he actually slammed these charging fees in the street as illegal. What he said was no country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway that's existing international law. And he is the Secretary of State. So perhaps he knows a thing or two about this. Then again, Trump is the president, but he doesn't seem to know a whole lot about these things. But according to the U.S. Joint Maritime Information Center. The blockade is going to go into effect tomorrow, and this is covering all of Iran's ports, oil terminals, and coastal areas.

Also, the fees will be enforced for any vessel regardless of country. And it says that any vessel suspected of entering or departing the blockaded area without authorization is subject to interception, diversion, and capture. Non-compliant vessels may be legally compelled with force. This is all from a statement. And the center said neutral transit through the Strait of Hormuz heading to or from non-Iranian destinations will not be impeded. So of course, Iran has responded to Trump's claims, and this is from drop site. The statement is that Iran's Khatam al-Anbiyah central headquarters, the joint operational command of Iran's armed forces that coordinates the military and the IRGC, issued a new warning rejecting any U.S. role.

in the Strait of Hormuz. The headquarter spokesperson said that Iran will under no circumstances allow the United States to interfere in managing the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian forces will respond forcefully to any U.S. military activity affecting commercial shipping outside routes designated by Iran. The Gulf states were also warned that providing logistical support to U.S. forces would be considered an act of war against Iran's sovereignty and national security. And the statement said that if the conflicts expands the flames of war, that's a quote,

could engulf the entire region and blame the U.S. and its regional partners for any further escalation. Also, the IRGC's public relations office, they put out a statement as well. It said the only way to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to vessel traffic is for the aggressive U.S. military to end its interventions in the street and respect the sovereignty of countries over their own coastal waters. And they added the continuation of these interventions will lead to even greater disruptions affecting the global oil and gas sector. And by the way, Jank, Brent crude oil prices rose more than 3% today. And we did see Trump addressed that at one point.

He was talking to some people about oil and gas prices. And he was like, yeah, every time we hit Iran, the gas prices are going to go up a little bit. that's okay. He said that while he was talking about the affordability crisis, by the way. So that is kind of where his mind is at with all of this. But Jenk, this does sound a lot worse. It seems as though, no, there has been no successful diplomacy, the peace talks, whatever. Like we're just going back to square one and we're still fighting over the street. Yeah. So I can guarantee you what's going to happen next. And that comes from a guy who for now months have said, I'm not really positive what's going to happen next. because there's so many mixed signals.

And Anna and I had some conversations and even slight debate over it. So I'll come back to that in a second. But now it's crystal clear because Trump is giving an address on Thursday night to the nation. And he apparently sent a letter to Congress we found out about right before we went live on air here, where he said the war is back on. And so he's sending a formal letter to Congress, and that gives him another 60-day window at least. to conduct more aggressive war, apparently in his mind. But he doesn't really follow the law that much.

So the fact that he sent that letter is an excellent indication that he thinks, yeah, we're done with the peace conversation. And in fact, you've seen him say that several times over the last couple of days. The peace deal is over. The war is back on. So this is not one of those things, conflicts that they were characterizing as, oh, no, this is just a small little flare up. But we're right back into the peace talks, and this is no big deal.

No, the peace talks appear to be over now, and we're back into war. So a lot of people in this country don't seem to understand what that means, including people in the media, people on Wall Street, come back to that as well. But let me now explain why I think it's so definitive. So first off, you know, Yaz read to you that statement for Marco Rubio earlier in the conflict saying, well, you, no one, no one is allowed to, you know, charge a fee for going through the Strait of Hormuz and it's a violation of international law. Now we're saying, oh, no, no, we didn't mean that at all. No, we think we now control the Strait of Hormuz or were the guardians

of the, at least a portion of the galaxy, that's the Strait of Hormuz. And, and we're going to charge 20%. So we wouldn't say that unless we thought we have it and we have it for good, because then Iran can turn around and go, oh, okay, I guess the new rule is 20%. And that's what we're going to charge going forward if we call it controlled the Strait of Hormuz. So the U.S. and Trump are acting very, very confident. It's over. Iran doesn't have any more leverage. We control the Strait of Hormuz, and we have an obvious huge military advantage over them.

We're going to continue this war exactly as Israel has asked us to do. And they won't be able to do anything about it. Now, Iran, for their part, they also are super confident that they're able to control the straight of hormones. Who's right? Well, we're gonna find out over the next couple of days and couple of weeks because full-scale war is back. And what happens in that war?

Everybody seems to be super confident. And by the way, I've seen people who are against Israel who are super confident that Iran is going to win the war. I don't know that at all, okay? So I can tell you what I know and what I don't know. Now it's absolutely definitive, the war is back on. Were the entire peace negotiations a ruse? Well, that's what Anna said throughout.

And if you wanna start posting hashtag Anna was right, I hear you, right? I don't know if it was the entire thing was a ruse or they, in the beginning, Trump and our side really thought we can't reopen the straight, we gotta get to peace. And now they believe they can, or if the entire thing was a delaying process from the beginning. And given that we're going back into a complete war with Iran, you know, there's excellent evidence to say that yeah, the whole peace thing was a ruse, just like the Israelis. They claim to do ceasefires, but never ever listened to any of them. And we were trying to trick them into delay and awaiting so we can go back to hitting them

and killing them and doing whatever Israel commands us of us in inside. Iran. So given all this, yes, my sense of it is disaster is next. No matter who gains control over the strait, there's going to be a very large battle there. And certainly the ships are not going to want to pass it when there's a giant battle. And we're going to go back to oil being a problem. We're going to go back to inflation. We're going to go back to significant economic problems and this time around, this is the most important part. We just burn the bridge behind us. That's it.

There's no more negotiations. Iran is never going to get tricked back into the negotiation table. They know, or at least certainly from their perspective, that we never listen to peace deals. We never mean it when we're negotiating for peace. We never listen to ceasefires. We're just like the Israelis, at least under the Trump administration. And we're not to be trusted. So it's full war from here till someone wins.

So what's your take on it? Yeah, well, as I mentioned a little bit, he really is not concerned about gas prices going up at all. And he has communicated as much to the American people. And I know that it sounds insignificant to complain about an American affordability crisis and gas prices going up when people in other countries are literally dying and being killed and being bombed and their infrastructures and their history is being destroyed. But the affordability crisis is what is real and present and current for the American people. And so when our president says, I'm gonna continue to do things deliberately that I know is going to make life so much more difficult for my constituents, for the people that I'm actually

supposed to be representing, that is gonna be a huge problem, not just for Trump, but for the Republicans heading into the midterms. All of the ones who are supporting this, hopefully that comes back to bite them. in the you know where come midterms. And also what stood out to me, Jank, was when Trump was saying that, oh, you know, those Iranians, they always break their deals.

They always break their promises. Because this reminds me of how this all started in the first place. And we remember that we had an Iran nuclear deal that was in place. It was done under the Obama administration. And one of the first things that Trump did when he came into office in 2017, I believe,

was he pulled us out of the Iran nuclear deal. And a lot of the reason why he did that was presumably because Iran, I'm sorry, Israel wanted him to do that because they now have a reason to fight with Iran. They now have a reason to do more imperialism in the Middle East. And they have a reason to utilize the United States military against Iran. And I did agree with Anna when she was saying that the peace talks were a ruse because they never felt real. They always felt like something like, oh, we have to show that we're pretending to do diplomacy. We have to show the people that, look, we tried, right? And that is exactly what's happening right now. They're saying, look, we tried the peace talks. They didn't work.

We did everything we could. So now we have no choice but to just do more bombing and more death and destruction, even though that demonstrably just can continue to go on and on and on for years and nothing will be accomplished, right? We as a people are familiar enough by now, or we should, be with these long haul conflicts that we seem to always get ourselves into, particularly in the Middle East, right? And you could also look at Ukraine. These things go on for years and people's entire lives are being disrupted. The entire time is happening. We here in the United States, we have an affordability crisis, but people over there, I mean, like imagine your high school career, right? Imagine all of high school, you're four years of your life and it's just bombing.

And you have to live through that. It is very, very disruptive. It's very destructive. But they're like, you know what? We have to keep trying the bombing part. We don't have to keep trying the peace part, the peace talks part. We're just going to like do that once or twice. But then we're going to go back to bombing because that's what they really want to do.

Yeah, my last points on this are, guys, this is not a little thing. This is the mother load. We're now past the tipping point. The consequences of the full scale war that's coming next will be global. They will be historic and it will lead to a string of ramifications that the people in charge right now in America and Israel don't understand. So the ramifications will be disastrous in the beginning for the world, the world economy, all the people's lives who are lost in that region.

But later, my guess, based on analyzing the news, is that there will be significant consequences for the entire region, including Israel. They think that they are above the law, they think that they will never be harmed, that they could just kill, attack, all of their neighbors, and order America around and force us into one war after another, all of them ending in disaster for us. My guess is after we're past the tipping point, which is as soon as this war restarts, that's it. The dominoes will fall and the ramifications will last years.

And eventually, my guess is, and this is a bold prediction and saying it on day one of, you know, the reemergence of the third section of the Iran war, that eventually will lead us to cutting off our alliance with Israel entirely. And a rage in this country about how Israel has controlled us, that is hard to describe now. So what the people in power are doing is they're poking the bear. The bear is the American people. and the reaction they're going to get back eventually is going to be significant. No matter what anybody says or what anybody does, it's over.

The dominoes are going to fall. And in the beginning, it'll be super rough for the American people. We will pay a very heavy price for what Israel has gotten us to do in this war. And so I hate it. I don't want it at all. That's why we tried so hard to prevent it. But now it's locked in. So buckle up, embrace for impact.

Us first, the world first, that region first, but then eventually Israel. Because this amount of deception, this amount of warfare, this amount of abusing the American people, are not going to be tolerated any longer. So now it begins. We'll see where it ends. And I'm not sure anyone knows that. All right, we're gonna come right back and talk about, I mean, our level of deception in this country by the people in power is so significant that no one is sure whether the former Republican leader in the Senate is alive or dead. We'll be back.

Back on TYT, let's go to YouTube members. So you better VA says, it's great that TYT is having Marjor Taylor Green. Fixes require collective effort. That's certainly true. If we're gonna win, we need the right and the left to join forces against the disgusting evil establishment. Mike or Dev, Dave says on Super Chat, Lindsay Graham is currently pushing Lucifer to launch Armageddon. We know Jesus is working on WMDs. We have to stop him from getting revenge on Israel.

We have to act. Remember your promise to make the abyss great again. Sounds familiar. And it's similar to what I said, but I use Greek mythology instead over the weekend. He's pushing Hades to attack Zeus and Poseidon, saying, Poseidon will never be able to close the straight. Constantine Cavira says the Greek Orthodox Church has an expression when a loved one dies. May their memory be eternal.

I recently realized it also works great with horrible people. I hope Lindsey Graham's memory is eternal. May we always remember what he's done. Here, here, Constantine, Elvin Torres 343 says, love MTG. I'm glad you have her on your show. She's a true patriot who puts an interest of the American people first. I voted for Trump three times, but then he became a never, Trump or himself and hence he lost me.

Gaggna Thompson's 78 on X says I love MTG most. GFYS, B, I don't even know what those letters mean. Massey, MGT 28. This one is too long, I'll save it for the next segment. And Jenks tricepheryre fury says, let's be honest, his sister was handpicked by defense contractors. She's obviously been bought and paid for already, yes.

Check it out when you get a chance. Okay, now let's go to the next story. Mitch McConnell just released this photo containing one very funny detail. The 84-year-old senator has been in the hospital for about a month and is under enormous public pressure to prove that he's still alive. Here's the funny part. If you zoom in, you'll see that it's today's copy of the Washington Post. McConnell did this to prove that the photo was taken today.

This is what's called a proof of life, and it's often used by kidnappers to prove that a hostage is still alive. That a US senator is using this tactic is hilarious for two reasons. First, it shows he knows how little people trust him. And second, it implies that McConnell is a hostage, which he does actually look like. So that's former TYT investigative reporter Ken Clippenstein, check him out on Substack. So is Mitch McConnell alive or dead? Is that photo completely fake?

Some Republicans think so, let alone Democrats. Yes, tell us all about it. Yeah, so Mitch McConnell appears to be alive. And that word appears is doing a lot of work. It's doing a lot of heavy lifting. So over the weekend, a photo of McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao, was released to the public, along with a 600 word statement that was allegedly written by McConnell himself. So in the photo, he was holding a newspaper with Sunday's date on it and said July, what is it, the 12th.

He was sitting upright looking healthier than we have honestly seen him look in years. Okay, even his forehead wrinkles were completely gone, so we're very happy for him there. But this comes nearly a month after McConnell was reported. taken from his home to a hospital by ambulance, and the public has had very little indication of his health since then, apart from testimonies from people like Scott Jennings on CNN, who most people do not find to be very credible as it would seem. So the situation was so dire that Kentucky Governor Andy Bashir, who is a Democrat, by the way, implored McConnell's office to please provide some sort of proof of life because the

constituents of Kentucky, like they deserve to know. whether or not they have a senator representing them. So now we have this photo and the written statement. Is it convincing enough? Is it enough for people? Is this the proof of life that we were all looking for? Well, the public has already been bracing for a weekend at Bernie's type situation to play out. And in the age of AI, anything is possible, especially with an administration that is particularly

fond of AI. So for one, the newspaper is mostly out of frame in the picture and it is wildly out of focus. You can sort of make out the date on the newspaper if you zoom in, but nothing else is really legible or clear even when you zoom in. Also early reports said that McConnell had suffered from cardiac arrest and in his statement he specified that he did not have a quote heart attack or a stroke and cardiac arrest is very different from a heart attack. They're not the same thing and cardiac arrest.

is significantly worse. Also, internet sleuths of have alleged that the photo has no metadata on it, with one investigator claiming that her search of McConnell mentions on the way back machine, all mentions of him from 2023 had been wiped from the internet archive apart from just one mention. There was no way that there was only one time that Mitch McConnell was mentioned on the internet in 2023. However, even MAGA is skeptical about this. It's not just people on the left.

Here is Ron Johnson musing that the photo might be fake. I saw a picture that I'm not sure I believe is actually Mitch McConnell from the hospital after what I've heard and what I've seen. Do you believe Mitch McConnell is the one who said, I'm okay. Here's the picture of my wife Elaine Chow and I in that hospital bed. Well, I just heard from some other sources that was an older photo. So I really don't know. I haven't talked to Mitch. I certainly wish he and his family well.

So that was Ron Johnson. We also have Laurel Lumer expressing doubt. She posted this to X. She wondered, how come Mitch McConnell's staff won't release a video of him? A photo could have been taken at any time. I call BS, the American people aren't stupid. She also expressed doubt that McConnell wrote that 600 word statement. And she wondered why there was no IV or anything like that connected to him to continuously

monitor his health if he is supposed to still be in recovery. So others in Maga World are also wondering why they can't just release a video of the senator speaking. But I don't know if that would even be very convincing right now because even that can be accused of being a deep fake or something like that. So Jenk, it's kind of hard. It's a difficult position that we're in, both as the American public and I imagine for Mitch McConnell, because what could he possibly do or release that would convince the American people that he's not dead? This is a weird time for us. Yeah, no, there's one thing that's very easy to release to Commiss as he's not dead, a video, right?

So look, I'll tell you what I don't, I know and don't know. I have no idea if that picture is fake. I'm not an expert on that. And please don't make me agree with Laura Lumer. That's just, it's too painful. But, and she's not the only one saying it. It's just interesting that she's saying it as a right-wing or extreme, whatever she is, right? And Ron Johnson, a Republican senator saying it was kind of amazing, although he's sometimes

a bit of a loose cannon. But overall, I know he didn't write that statement. That statement was very lucid, it went into great detail, it was, you know, and the guy who is barely alive did not write that statement. There's no freaking way, right? So that was clear, and PR people write all those statements anyway. So is he alive or just dead and they're refusing to tell anyone? Well, you know, yes, my point about that is it goes not to the Mitch McConnell story,

but to the state of how things are in America that no one believes them. Like in the old days, if the Republican senator who was the leader of the Republicans for decades in the Senate tells you that he's alive. or his staff tells you he's alive, no one would have questioned that. Now our belief and faith in the institutions are so degraded, both the left and the right are going, no, I don't believe you. I think you might be such grotesque liars that you're telling us that he's alive and fine when he's actually brain dead or literally dead.

And no, we don't believe you at all. And so I think that's super telling of where we are as a society and a government. Yeah, and none of this is beyond them, right? Them outwardly, outright lying to millions of Americans is not beyond them. This is just something that they would do, right? Even watching Scott Jennings on CNN and he was like, oh yeah, he called me and we spoke on the phone for for 20 minutes and had this super weird random conversation about everything in the world all at once.

Like it was so unbelievable. Even if he had said he called me and was like, hey Scott. I'm alive, I'm okay, don't worry about me, I'm trying to get back to work, blah, blah, blah. That would be like, okay, that sounds like something of a normal conversation someone might have with someone who is in a hospital bed. But the conversation, it was just so ridiculous. The lies are not good. For people who lie as much as they do, they're somehow just still not good at it. For the people who continue to fall for these lies, it's like you really need to stop being so gullible. you need to have a modicum of skepticism in you, right? And I'm not saying that we all need to become conspiracy theorists.

I'm not saying that we all need to just completely disregard some whatever is left of reality. I think we need to just be a little bit careful on who we trust. For example, the people who still trust Donald Trump when he says things, the people who voted for RFK Jr. Because he said he was going to clean up the food supply and look at what's happened now. all of these people, you have to wonder, like, why did you believe that they were actually going to do the things that they said? One thing that I've been talking about a little bit in my videos on Rebel HQ is that just, it's very easy to run a political campaign. If I wanted to run as a MAGA candidate, I would know how to do that. You would know how to do that, Jenk. We know the things that these people want to hear. We would know the things that we would have to say just to get people over on our side.

It's very easy to pretend to be a progressive even. Just say the things that you know the people want to hear you say. And in this country, we have to be able to look at people and be a little bit discerning. And when we're given new information to be able to interpret that and to use that to look forward and be like, why might they be lying about this? Why? What motives are behind all of this? I know that we want to be able to trust people.

And I think that is what is hurting so many Americans is we want to be able to trust people. is we want to believe that there is someone out there who's looking out for us, who wants the best for us, who wants the best for this country. But unfortunately, so much of that is just not present right now in our executive branch, in our judicial branch, or in our legislative branch. We need to be so much more savvy as the American people so we can stop getting got by these dumb, dumb people. And they're not even good, it's insulting to us.

Michael short texted me in the morning and said Scott Jennings had a 20 minute conversation with Lindsey Graham. That's how I found out that Lindsey Graham had died. So guys, if you can do a 20 minute conversation with Scott Jennings, he can do a 20 second video. He's not healthy. Let's put it that way. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break here.

When we come back, Israel first is Mattad J.D. Vance, and they're outwardly saying, that we will pick someone else to be the American president. Wait, I thought you didn't pick people. Interesting, when we return. All right. So let's go to Superchat, Pakistan American for liberation, right? And Lindsey Graham was in Ukraine 24 to 48 hours before his death in South Carolina. Just saying was Russia involved in this, just a theory.

Also, Rokana coordinated with J Street organization. That's actually pro-Israeli at pro-2s. state solutions, at least Rokana had the guts to visit the West Bank. And even if when you cooperate with J Street, you just saw the Israeli ambassador there, they're like, no, we don't care about anyone supporting Israel. We don't care about anyone who's supporting Jewish Americans or Jews. We only care about you have to be a radical Zionist. And you have to be for genocide. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We know, we know. You've become genocidal maniacs. Anyways, he continues, Like I said before the Middle East policy subcontracted to Israel policy, because, and this is him saying it, and I'll give my opinion, they're Jews especially because they show sympathy as Holocaust victims, he put it in quotes.

Disregarding the rest of the Middle East country's policies has been like this for over 50 years, so U.S. gave green light. So look, I always divorced Jewish Americans from this because 99% of Jewish Americans have, 99.8% of Jewish Americans have nothing new with any of the funding or, Israel first or any of that, only a third of Jewish Americans are even in favor of the Netanyahu government. Two thirds are opposed. Now, the radical Zionists on the other hand, yeah, they are definitely, if we're going to show it to you in the next story. They openly talk about how they're going to pick the next American president, the next Republican officer candidate, and they're very proud of controlling American foreign policy. And they brag about it. And then when you quote them, they go, how dare you, anti-Semite? So yes, they have a huge role in this.

All right, back on TYT, Jenkins Yazz with you guys. So I've got a couple of great interviews coming up on Revolution next, including the daughter of a state senator who's so disgusted by what her dad did in regards to Israel that she made an online video about it. That's going to be really interesting. And then at the end, we're doing bonus episodes for the members. And I'm going to read a lot more of your comments and interact with you guys. So it's a good reason to become a member. Hit the join button below or t.com slash join. And now we have one more story for you guys.

And let me tell you that. So JD Vance might be jeopardizing his chances at the Republican nomination. That's according to Politico, they talk to leaders who are in favor of Israel in this country. And they say, well, you know what? We might not pick him to be the Republican nominee. wait, I thought they didn't control anything. But Politico is writing about who they're going to pick to be the next Republican nominee for president.

So yes, tell us about it. Yeah, and J.D. Vance might be in trouble with all of this because he has been seemingly jeopardizing that relationship that he's been trying to build with pro-Israel GOP donors. The pro-Israel GOP donors, they traditionally have been backing the Trump administration. But J.D. Vance, the vice president, has been very critical of Benjamin Netanyahu's government. And he also has expressed support for a ceasefire agreement with Iran. And that is something that Israel has not been very happy about. And the pro-Israel community doesn't seem to know what to do with J.D. Vans. He is the vice president in the pro-Israel Trump administration.

But according to many pro-Israel donors and activists, J.D. Vans is not well liked in the community. So one prominent Jewish GOP donor and bundler granted anonymity to speak openly said that he sees overwhelming unease, quote unquote unease with the vice president in the pro-Israel community. And they said that there's angst among a significant majority of pro-Israel Republicans, Christians and Jews alike. Overwhelmingly, I am seeing unease. And it could be even worse than that. And this should be very concerning for the GOP, especially considering that JD Vance is supposed to be one of the frontrunners for the GOP presidential nomination in 2028. And that race, by the way, is expected to be the most expensive presidential race in our nation's history. So it's going to be very costly.

They have to be very careful with who it is that they nominate. But meanwhile, another strong contender for the nomination is, of course, Secretary of State Marco Rubio. And apparently he has been staking his claim on the anti-Israel woke right. And that's according to a prominent Jewish GOP donor and bundler. They said that he's looking around at his political future and sees that no potentially viable 2028 candidate is in this lane. Vance seems to have that lane locked up. So what is interesting about this is that J.D. Vance has found himself in a pickle and it has got him parroting something that people on the left and critics of Israel have been saying for a long, long time. And this is really, really funny to me.

Vance is now in the position of attempting to distinguish his criticism of the Israeli government from anti-Semitism. This is what he said. He said they're a good partner in the same way the United Kingdom or France are good partners. That doesn't mean that we're always going to have aligned interests, he said, of the Israeli government in the same way that sometimes criticism of the Israeli government can be expressed in a way that's anti-Semitic. It's just not the case that every criticism of Bibi Netanyahu's policy decisions leads to anti-Semitism or is anti-Semitic. There's a danger in conflating criticism of a particular government with Jew hatred, he added,

because if everything is Jew hatred, then nothing is Jew hatred. I actually think Jew hatred is very bad. And yes, we know, we have been saying this this whole time. We have been saying this. But recent events aside, apparently Israel Israel supporters have been giving JD Vance the side eye for a while for things that the vice president has done or said that do appear to be actually anti-Semitic. So for example, when the group chat for the young Republicans group was leaked,

we saw them praising Hitler. And rather than strongly condemning the participants in the chat for their actual anti-Semitism, J.D. Vance just said, you know, kids do stupid things. and that was not enough for the pro-Israel coalition. Also at a turning point USA event, Vance was asked why the U.S. supports Israel when the Jewish religion is antagonistic towards Christianity. And in Vance's response,

he did not address or correct the assertion that the student had made substantially enough. So students are one thing, though, pro-Israel billionaire donors are another thing, and several of them are already signaling their support for Rubio in 2028 over JD Vans. Jenk, what is JD Vans going to do about this? All right, I actually find this story amazing for on a number of grounds.

First of all, Politico just reports it and kind of positively. Like, oh, these, as they call them, prominent Jewish GOP donors are saying, well, we won't give money to JD Vance, we'll give it to Marco Rubio so that Marco Rubio can win. and we're gonna give him a lot of money and we're not gonna give Vance any money. And we want to pick Rubio so he serves Israel. Wait, I thought that was a trope. In fact, if I wrote this exact same piece, they would say, anti-Samite, can you believe these tropes and stuff? In fact, we never even characterize as Jewish donors.

We say, because I don't think that's accurate. I think you remember, two-thirds of Jewish voters in America are against the Netanyahu government. We say more accurate pro-Zionist or radical Zionist donors, and that's who these people are. And I can prove that they're radical Zionists, they don't even care about Jews in America. Wait, how could that be? Well, that's because, for example, Donald Trump on the Charlottesville march where they had neo-Nazisies marching in the streets saying the Jews will not replace us, he equivocated on that. So, you know, there's debate about did he say there's very fine people on the Nazi side or the Confederate side, but overall, he equivocated on something that stark. Then he went to a Republican Jewish group and said, no one likes to renegotiate more than this room, meaning that's another old stereotype about Jews in America and elsewhere, et cetera.

And they saw all of these things that if someone who was opposed to Israel had said that they would have totally savage them. Antisemitic, anything way worse than anything Tucker Carlson has said or anyone else that they call anti-Semitic. But they didn't mind any of that. They're like, oh, you want to spread stereotypes and tropes and even chant against Jews in the streets of America? No problem, no problem, as long as you support and finance Israel. They're not for Jewish Americans. They're only for their beloved Israel, which is a different country than ours. But political, I appreciate the confession that Zionists,

donors are clearly picking who our candidates are. So they, and one of them, as you saw in the piece there, said, there's no other potentially viable candidates in that lane, meaning we've cut off the funding for everyone else. But since JD Vance is the vice president, just cutting off his funding might not work. So we're gonna pour all of our money into Rubio who is going to serve a different country, not our country. And they celebrate it like, oh, we can't wait to finance Rubio to betray you and to serve Israel instead.

Thank you for the confession. I appreciate it. Read the political story yourself. It is an amazing admission that all the so-called tropes are totally and utterly true in regards to people who are pro-Israel financing all of our politicians, having an enormous role on who the candidates are. When we say it, they go, oh, you're, how dare you, you can't do. that when they say it, they think, oh yeah, okay, great, we're reporting how wonderful the pro-Israeli

lobby is for saying, oh, JD Vance. By the way, J.D. Vance is dining with Miriam Aedelson and all the Israel first donors anyway. These peace negotiations appear to be a, have been a total trick and an ambush of Iran because the war has restarted anyway. But even if you're faking it, Even if you disagree with Israel, 0.01%, Israel first will come for you. No, we demand 100% loyalty to Israel and not to America. Thank you very much, political. I want to make sure we put the link to the article in the description box on YouTube and elsewhere. Because I want you to see how clearly they say, yes, these politicians will be picked by enormously wealthy pro-Israel

donors and you will serve them no matter what. And they're very brazen about who they're going to eliminate because they weren't sufficiently loyal to Israel. All right, we're way out of time. Yes, you're awesome, thank you, appreciate it. Everybody check her out on Rebel HQ. When we come back, we've got an update on how we're going to track corruption that I think you guys will love.

We've got someone who was so sickened by what their father did in regards to Israel, that She turned on him. It's an amazing story. So stay right here and we'll be right back with those stories.
