Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. All right. Welcome to the Young Turks, Jane Hugar, Anna Gasparian, live from the Polymarket Studio in L.A. Amazing show, fascinating show today. We've got a special one. So, you know, 6 to 8 p.m. Eastern, as always. And then at 8 p.m. Eastern, here comes Dr. Phil. He's going to be right here in the set. So Anna and I will be talking to Dr. Phil. You might be surprised at some of the agreements. You will not be surprised at the disagreements,
Starting point is 00:01:08 but I'm surprised he believes what he does. So it's going to be a really interesting conversation. I think he's great to come in here and talk to us about it. And I want everybody to keep an open mind, okay? Yeah, and we're going to keep having these discussions with people all across the political spectrum within reason, obviously. And I think those conversations are always fascinating, interesting. There's always an area of common ground, but obviously disagreement. And I don't know, I just think those conversations are a lot more fun than just talking to people you agree with. Couldn't agree more.
Starting point is 00:01:39 In fact, that's what we're going to do today. So tell your friends, tell your neighbors, and tell Randy Gonzalez, Dr. Phil is coming. So make sure you share the stream, sharing is caring, and let's get everybody to watch today. Okay, the second reason why is Trump practice is finally here. So we're now going to start the voting process, narrowed down to the single worst thing that Donald Trump has done. The first poll four polls are live. We're live. We're in the middle of Trump matters as we speak. So we'll do that a little bit later in the program. And a huge surge from Kamala Harris. We'll talk about that as well. All right, Anna. Well, we can't help but start
Starting point is 00:02:14 the show, unfortunately, with this. The Israeli military has announced thousands of strikes in southern Lebanon since this war broke out. But the strike they announced earlier this morning is different, rather than saying they are targeting a specific Hamasbola operative or responding to a specific rocket, they announced what sounds like a broad effort to, in their words, degrade Hezbollah's capability and infrastructure in southern Lebanon. Israel is continuing to escalate war with Hezbollah in Lebanon with the IDF bombing parts of southern Lebanon today. In fact, the latest reporting indicates that the IDF struck 100 missile launchers and other Hezbollah infrastructure, according to what
Starting point is 00:03:02 they're saying, though it's not clear yet if there were any casualties. IDF warplanes launched 70 separate airstrikes as of this moment. Now, this follows two days, of course, of deadly attacks targeting mobile devices used by Hezbollah members. It began on Tuesday with pagers exploding and thousands of people getting injured as a result of that. And then the next day on Wednesday of this week, walkie talkies exploded. And as a result, now dozens of people have reportedly died, including some civilians. Now, today's attack on southern Lebanon involved airstrikes and artillery. The IDF struck, you know, as I mentioned,
Starting point is 00:03:45 a hundred missile launchers according to what the IDF is saying. IDF ground forces have not crossed the border yet. I say yet because I just think that the direction everything is going indicates that there will be troops on the ground in Lebanon, IDF troops and potentially even American troops at some point. Though some troops, IDF troops, have been moved from Gaza toward Israel's border with Lebanon. Now Israel announced the strikes this morning just six minutes before Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was due to give his first speech since the attacks began two days ago. And here is some of what he had to say. Thousands of pages were targeted by the Israeli enemy and detonated at the same time.
Starting point is 00:04:36 With this operation, the enemy crossed all rules, laws, and red lines. It didn't care about anything at all, not one. morally, not humanely, not legally. Nasrallah also vowed that Israelis would not be able to achieve their goal of repopulating Israel's evacuated northern areas without ending its military aggression and reiterated that Hezbollah will not stop before the aggression on Gaza stops. And I want to pause there because it's really important to take that in. Hezbollah didn't just attack Israel out of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Hezbollah began attacking Israel after Israel launched its military campaign and its aerial bombardment of Gaza. They want the bombing to stop. And Netanyahu has made a decision that he doesn't want the bombing to stop. He wants to continue leveling Gaza. He wants to continue the aerial bombardments in Gaza. And he wants to escalate war with Lebanon and with Hezbollah in Lebanon, of course. And so, Jank, you know, you had this unbelievably frustrating debate about this issue on
Starting point is 00:05:41 on Pierce Morgan show yesterday, and Israel denies that Hezbollah is in any way connected to what's happening in Gaza. Yeah, so the Israeli representative pretended that Hezbollah is attacking Israel out of nowhere, for no reason at all, just like, I don't know why they could be possibly just attacking us when we have done nothing wrong to Hezbollah or to Palestinian territories or anything. I don't know, I mean, it was, it's so absurd. It's hard to wrap your mind around the propaganda that they tell people. I don't know if in Israel, they believe that like all their enemies just hate Jews for no reason.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And these wild anti-Semites are just attacking them when poor Israel, they've done nothing wrong. They've only occupied five and a half million people and put them in open air camps for 57 years. They only knocked down 70% of the buildings in Gaza and displaced 95% of the citizens and killed 41,000 people. Poor Israel, their tiny little David against this Goliath Palestinians that keep oppressing them. And now Hezbollah, evil monstrous terrorist, Hezbollah, for no reason at all, picking on poor little Israel again. So now let me tell you the reality, because that's the, I mean, if you believe that fantasy tale, you'll believe anything. So in reality, Hezbo is doing this because of the occupation. They only say it in every single statement that they
Starting point is 00:07:10 make, and it is 100% because Israel is occupying Gaza and the West Bank. And they, has Hezbollah been firing rockets into Israel? Definitely. And they started on October 8th. They were not part of the October 7th attacks. But once Israel started striking back, Hezbollah joined in retaliation. Are they allied with Iran? Yes. Are they allied in some ways with Hamas? Yes. Okay. So should they fire rockets into Israel? No, of course not. Now, how did Israel? reacting, what were there different things that happen? First of all, Hezbollah's rockets are barely do any damage at all for 11 months. There was one rocket, according to Israel, that got through Iron Dome and killed those 12 Drews kids, which is an abomination, okay? And so I don't want
Starting point is 00:07:57 their rockets launched. I don't want them hitting anyone. I don't want anyone dying in Israel or in Lebanon or anywhere, okay? Now, by the way, it was the Israel says that was Hezbollah. I don't know, but it doesn't matter. It's not like Hezbollah wouldn't do it, they fire rockets in all the time, okay? So, okay, so let's say that grant all of that. Now what has Israel been doing in return? So first of all, there was the assassination that they did in Beirut. That's the capital of Lebanon, they did a bombing, a couple of bombings, and they took
Starting point is 00:08:33 out some of the Hezbollah leaders. So they're bombing in a foreign capital and taking out their leaders. Okay, so that does massive damage. Then when Hezbole says, well, obviously we have to retaliate, you just murder some of our top leaders and you've been, you know, attacking us in all these different ways, counter attacking. You can say if you're from Israel, right? Hezbollah is firing the rockets. So then at that point, they go, okay, you know what? Before you even do your retaliatory strike, we're going to do a preemptive strike. So then Israel hits them against. So so far, they've hit them twice without Hezbollah officially responding. Now, isn't that weird? Because Hezbollah is firing rockets all the time. So what is Israel, mean by a preemptive strike before Hezbollah actually responds. Hezbollah, quote, responds all the time. Because what that means is we know that the normal responses from Hezbollah is basically marketing, internal marketing in the Muslim world in Lebanon and in their own ranks.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Because Hezbollah knows they're not going to hit anything. And we know they're not going to hit anything. When they actually try to hit something, we did a preemptive strike because that one was real, right? It's not to say that the rockets don't exist. It's that both sides know that under normal situations, Hezbollah's rockets, do nothing at all, and Israel is not at all concerned about it. They moved 70,000 people out of the border areas, but overall, the rockets are not getting through.
Starting point is 00:09:49 I mean, one in 11 months, maybe, okay? So now, after the preemptive strike, Heswell finally does a retaliatory strike that's real, okay? It fails, but it was a real attempt to hit Israel, okay? So now it's two to one, then you have the pager explosions, then you have the walkie talky explosions. Now, so now it's four to one on real strikes of Israel versus Hezbollah. And now, before again, now you, Hezbollah says, okay, now we're going to really retaliate, right?
Starting point is 00:10:18 And so they hit them again. They do the artillery and the air strikes that Anna just described today. So now it's five, six to one in terms of strikes that could do damage. And every strike by Israel does damage because they have a real military. Yeah, and the U.S. backing them and providing them with weapons, which is. also part of the reason why the retaliation that you'll see from both Hezbollah and a country like Iran, which has, in my opinion, even more of a military capacity and capability. The reason why those retaliations are so weak is because they don't want this to escalate into a broader
Starting point is 00:10:55 regional war. That's the most important point, guys. Because now when you look at that what's coming next is not going to be fake. What Hezbollah and Iran are going to do next is going to be very real, okay? So you can tell the difference between fake and real based on the statements that they put out there, how America responds to it, how security experts respond to it. When they're doing the fake strikes, America goes, whew, America goes, oh, that was not bad. Okay, good, they're not escalating. America will say that, right? And then they'll turn to Israel and say, please don't escalate. Please don't escalate. And Israel will go, and spit right in the face of the American representative and escalate six times over. So guys, the most important strike
Starting point is 00:11:36 out of all those was the Pager strike. Why? I mean, I just let's you a huge list, let alone the endless ineffective rockets by Hezbollah. The reason that's what the most important is right before then, Israel had a decision to make that they pushed off for as long as humanly possible. Are you going to sign the ceasefire or are you not? Because if they sign the ceasefire, then Hezbollah and Iran don't even retaliate. Iran's still waiting to retaliate for another strike that Israel did in Tehran and an assassination there. right? So Iran has not done a major retaliate. They tried one where they were like, wink, wink, we are coming, here's our drones. That was a purposely ineffective one because they didn't want to
Starting point is 00:12:15 escalate. So now, when the pager thing happened, and you heard Nasrallah say it there, it crossed all red lines. That is Israel declaring war. We are not going to do a ceasefire. We are not going to do a peace deal. We're just going to invade you. We're going to do endless bombings. And now the last part, Anna, not only it wasn't just your words, the Israel. Spokespeople said, our ground troops have not crossed into Lebanon yet. Exactly, yeah. They're savage terrorist, Muslims that are firing rockets at us all the time. They're peace shooters, they're slingshots, but I don't care.
Starting point is 00:13:14 I hate them. They're guilty by definition, right? But for the rest of us, there's no question that Israel is trying to agitate for a much larger war. They have done endless, significant strikes. And by the way, I didn't even get into Damascus. Three foreign capitals, they have attacked recently. And no matter how overwhelming the evidence is, The minute that Hezbollah Iran retaliates in a real way, you notice they keep throwing rockets and America doesn't really care that much because as I said, it doesn't work and everybody knows it's not going to work.
Starting point is 00:13:46 But if they have a real retaliatory strike, and I don't know that they do, and they launch it, all of American media and the American government will flip in a minute and pretend that poor Israel got attacked for no reason. Oh my God, these bloodthirsty, savage, violent Muslims. I just, I need to understand, okay, so if you do support what the current Israeli government is doing by escalating this new front in this war, what is the end goal? Like, what are they trying to accomplish here? I know, I know what they're saying they're trying to accomplish. We want Israelis to be able to go back to their homes, Hezbollah is a problem. Okay, so are they going to level Lebanon? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Like how, how, okay, are they? They're gonna do that too? Yeah. This is a disaster of epic proportions. Now look, everything we just told you. Do they think that they're gonna be safer in that part of the world after they do that? Some of them do, yeah. Well, they're wrong.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Well, of course they're wrong. So guys, let me just explain that real quick. Because since we're not in their heads, it's so hard to understand why they think what they think. Part of it is super easy. So Netanyahu, if he signed the ceasefire deal, the right wing guys, like Attila the Hunn and Genghis Khan would leave his cabinet, and then he'd go for election and he'd lose. So he put his own political career above Israel, above humanity, et cetera. So that part's very easy to understand. And then secondly, here's the part people aren't talking about.
Starting point is 00:15:25 And I'm really worried about this because it is strategically correct if an only. If you're Netanyahu, if he starts a war now before the U.S. elections, well, the administration is democratic. And the American people will say, and Netanyahu and Trump and everybody else will prod him to say, oh, Biden couldn't prevent the war. I mean, he could have, but he chose not to. Because of his obedience to Netanyahu. That's exactly right.
Starting point is 00:15:53 But they will use that against them. Successfully, by the way. And by the way, that part will not be entirely wrong. Joe Biden could have prevented this war. can prevent this war today by saying you do one more goddamn strike Israel. We're pulling all the dollars because it's obvious you're trying to start a war. Every security analyst, every person with a brain that isn't super biased knows you're trying to start this war.
Starting point is 00:16:12 We know you're trying to start one more and I pull all the money. But he's not gonna do that. So he is letting Israel start this war and it might cost Kamala Harris the election. And if it does, Trump gets into office and then Trump tells Netanyahu, do whatever the hell you like, okay, because he has already said, that's what he's gonna say. Just finish them quicker. And by the way, so sorry to interrupt you, Jank, but I think this is important for you guys to hear. So the State Department had a press conference today, and I was very curious to see how they were going to handle questions from reporters about Israel very clearly escalating this war in Lebanon.
Starting point is 00:16:47 And I was wondering, well, is the U.S. going to back Israel, even though on one hand, you hear everyone in the Biden administration saying, we're working around the clock for a ceasefire. We want diplomatic means of ending all this. We do not want to escalate a war. But on the other hand, you'll also listen closely to what they're saying during press conferences. And here's what you'll get. Is the U.S. still prepared to back Israel if they are to escalate this on a northern front? So let me make one thing clear. We are committed to the defense of Israel against terrorist organizations.
Starting point is 00:17:18 But we don't want to see any party escalate this conflict, period. Yesterday, Secretary Austin spoke by phone with his Israeli counterpart, Minister of Defense Galan, to review regional security developments and reiterate unwavering U.S. support for Israel in the face of threats from Iran, Lebanese Hezbollah, and Iran's other regional partners. And I'll remind you that, you know, the capability that we have in the region is more than we had on April 13th when Iran did launch that attack against Israel. So, you know, we're confident in the ability that we have there right now to protect our forces and should we need to come to the defense of Israel as well.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Okay, I want you all to remember the year 2016, it's the presidential election, it's the debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and the topic of Wall Street comes up. And Hillary Clinton wanted to present herself as someone who's tough on Wall Street and she talked about going to the New York Stock Exchange, wagging her finger and saying, you stop this right now. Stop it right now. That's essentially what the Biden administration is doing in regard to their statements toward Israel and how they want to avoid a broader regional war. They want to avoid the escalation. But we're ready and willing to provide you all the support you need to escalate the war. In fact, we will very likely risk members
Starting point is 00:18:37 of our military to help defend your country from a war that you have escalated. Yeah. So the US is clear. We're going to help Israel start this giant war in the Middle East. So later when And Biden and Commonly Harris get blamed for it, don't catch feelings because they can stop it right now and they are absolutely positively choosing not to stop this war because they're so afraid. Oh my God, what will APEC do my beloved donors? All right, if it costs you the election, don't come crying later and go, oh, there was nothing you could do.
Starting point is 00:19:13 No, there's something you could do right now and you're choosing not to do. Okay, last thing is, so you, first of all, I should say, when they call it. terrorist organizations. No problem. You want to call Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists? They kill civilians. Sure, no problem. Absolutely. Okay, well, when Israel kills 30 to 40 times the number of civilians, number of civilians, is Israel a terrorist organization? No, how dare you? We're allowed to murder anyone we like. It's only when Muslims kill civilians that they're terrorists. Guys, yeah. So, okay. So like, so that's why America with this total BS, just specification for the war. Oh, it's okay, they're dirty Muslim terrorists. We can kill 40 times
Starting point is 00:19:55 the number of civilians. And we are beloved good defenders of Western civilization. No, by their own definition, Israel is a massive terrorist state. And we are now about to help them invade Lebanon. I have to say one of the most disgusting developments in all of this is the media narrative that what Israel has done with the pagers and the walkie talkies is impressive and should be celebrated as like a technological, you know, feet. Oh my God. This is so, so precise. You know, they're specifically targeting Hezbole members, except we're talking about literally, literally, thousands of little bombs going off throughout all of Lebanon in grocery stores, okay? In all sorts of civilian areas, what if someone was
Starting point is 00:20:44 on a commercial flight? Are we serious right now? Yeah, that's, and the whole, everybody on the plane would have died, kids around the bombs died. They don't care. They've never cared about civilians. The whole idea of like to be a moral army. What a sick joke. A moral army killed 25,000 women and children. A stadium full of women and children that they slaughtered while pretending to be moral, okay?
Starting point is 00:21:11 If you had done that to Israeli women and children, we would have nuked Gaza and West Bank by now. And you all know it, you all, look at what happened, 1,200 Israelis died and people were justifiably outraged. If 41,000 Israelis said that, if 25,000 little children and women that were Israelis were butchered, you know they would have obliterated every Palestinian in the world. But when you do it to Palestinians, it's not like their lives matter, they're just Muslims and Arabs. We have no power other than economic power, because our government is corrupt. The U.S. government is corrupt. And they have said, as long as you keep sending the bribes, we are going to send you endless bombs and money. So as Americans and as citizens of the world, the only power we have left is don't buy anything from Israel.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Why would you finance the terror that Israel is causing? So, and now finally, as to what is the end game that Anna asked about? They're neocons. I think that they're, they're so diluted in their head. They think it's going to be easy, just like they thought Iraq was going to be easy. So they think, what's the big deal? We'll just, you know, obliterate Lebanon, just like we did Gaza, and the world will do nothing. The world did nothing when we obliterated Gaza.
Starting point is 00:22:29 There's almost no buildings left in Gaza, and the world didn't care at all. And we got our dogs in America to tell everybody to back off, and we got a gift. We normally get $4 billion a year. This time they sent us 26. We got a giant thank you gift from America for annihilating Gaza. So we're going to do it to Lebanon, and we're going to get America ensnared in this war because they're aircraft carriers and et cetera are in here. And if a drone takes out an American ship, oh, that's it.
Starting point is 00:22:56 We're going to get America to fight our entire war for us, and we're going to have the finance the whole thing. But they are wrong. Wars don't go like that. Wars are unpredictable. And next thing you know, they figure out a way around Iron Dome. And now, it's not just the Muslims whose lives you don't value at all that are getting killed. It's the precious, precious Israeli lives.
Starting point is 00:23:16 And then you're in neck deep in it. And now the U.S. is neck deep in it. And then they come yelling at us about how we owe, oh, oh, oh. We owe them more weapons. We owe them more money. We owe them more war. And I think that there's going to come a point around, and this is going to take forever, guys. This is my prediction now.
Starting point is 00:23:33 We just gave you the facts and the analysis. My guess is, by the year 2026, you will see massive uprisings in America against Israel. Enough, enough slaughter. Enough spending our money on invading nearby countries, bombing them to know, and humiliating these people and oppressing them for decade after decade after decade. So, but we'll see what happens. But war is coming. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:01 When we come back from the break, we're going to switch gears and talk about an explosive new report about a gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina. CNN has uncovered some hosts that he's made on a porn website. It is insane. Be right back. All right, back on TYT, Jankan, Anna. Deanne Loso became an American hero by not only joining, but upgrading through that same join, beautiful join button below the video on YouTube. Appreciate you, Deanne. Upgrading makes a huge difference because it allows us to keep prices low for everybody,
Starting point is 00:24:52 and we appreciate you guys. All right, Anna. All right, just buckle up for this, okay? Just do it. Hold on to your butts. Mark Robinson, he's out there, he's fighting. A very good man. This is Martin Luther King on steroids.
Starting point is 00:25:09 I think you're better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two. I think he's going to go down as one of the great leaders in our country. I've been with him a lot. I've gotten to know him and he's outstanding. He's outstanding in presentation. But he's probably even more outstanding in heart. Somebody that we have to be very, very careful.
Starting point is 00:25:29 We have to cherish. We have to cherish Mark. He's a star. You have to cherish him. It's like a fine wine because that's what you have. You have a fine wine. He's an outstanding person. I've gotten it up so well and fairly quickly.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Fine wine is definitely a terrible way of describing the gubernatorial candidate, the Republican gubernatorial candidate for North Carolina, Mark Robinson. Because CNN just published a pretty explosive report that uncovers several disgusting, vile comments that this Republican candidate made on a porn site called nude Africa. Now, we'll get to the content warning right now, because as we give you the details, you're going to learn about the vile things he had to say, and they're very explicit. But according to CNN, Robinson wrote the comments under the username Mini Soldier. The reason why they were able to connect that username to Robinson is because he used this
Starting point is 00:26:31 moniker on other sites as well, including Ashley Madison. They also connected that moniker to his email address. He also stupidly used his full name for this porn site, his full name. And the comments were from years ago, 2008 to 2012. Now, I'm going to get into the details, starting with what he had to say about transgender people or transgender adult stars on this forum. So despite his publicly stated anti-transgender views, Robinson wrote the following on the site. Bear with me here. I like watching. He didn't use the word transgender. He used a different word, but you guys can figure out what it is, on girl porn. So I like watching transgender on girl porn.
Starting point is 00:27:22 That's effing hot. It takes the man out while leaving the man in. And yeah, I'm a purve too. But publicly, he says that transgender women who use the bathroom that they identify with should be arrested. And, you know, he's used incredibly harsh language toward the transgender community. But, you know, obviously behind closed doors, that's the kind of porn he likes to consume. To be fair, he's not the only Republican. Yeah, that's definitely true.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Alex shows you want to show us your phone again? Okay, so to be fair, he might watch the kind of porn where they get arrested. So, you know, but guys, look, you know how Republicans are. If you don't know by now, the Republican politicians, they're all liars, and they're doing the exact thing that they're warning you about. Almost every time. So the minute this guy starts to, oh, my God, I'm worried about these LGBTQ and the transgenders. Yeah, you're worried that you're not going to have enough porn about them to watch later. tonight. So they hate themselves, so they throw it off to people. Now we got a lot more for you
Starting point is 00:28:25 guys, including the Nazi stuff in a second. But I don't want you to think, oh, poor Trump, how could he have known when he thought he was better than Martin Luther King, right? He was already on the record as denying the Holocaust saying that Michelle Obama is a man. Maybe he wanted her to be, I don't know, right? Maybe he fantasized about that. Now literally, literally, right? Maybe that was one of the things that got him off. And then he, and of course, Barack Obama was one of the top ranking demons. He had theories about how the Rothschild family was running the world. So like an obvious glaring anti-Semite well before any of this came out. And Trump endorsed him anyway and said he was better than Martin Luther King. So let's get to the topic of abortion.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Now, of course, as a Republican politician, he claims to be in favor of restricting or just full out banning abortion. He says he's in favor of a six week abortion ban. But according to what he wrote on this porn sites forum, he, all right, let me just give you what CNN wrote verbatim. So, but writing as mini soldier on nude Africa in December of 2010, Robinson said he did not care about a celebrity having an abortion. Quote, I don't care. I just want to see the sex tape. Robinson wrote. Of course, publicly, he says he cares so much. Oh, those poor little kids. that are side goats that he has to save.
Starting point is 00:29:49 In reality, he's like, I don't care at all, man, show me the search type. That is classic Republican politician. Well, I mean, yes, I think you're right about that, but it's also just classic politician. Look, this is vile, so I'm not going to equate this with like stuff that we've seen on the left. However, generally speaking, you know, we're talking about issues here that impact people's lives deeply, right? The topic of reproductive freedom, the topic about having, you know, healthcare, care available to people because this is a healthcare issue. It's not simply about terminating a pregnancy.
Starting point is 00:30:24 For some women, it's literally a life or death situation and having these restrictions can put their lives in danger. And so what disgusts me is to see politicians take these serious issues, not really care about those issues one way or another, but exploit them and use these issues as a tool for their own political power. And that's what disgusts me about it. And he just happened to do it in a way that is. enormously brazen where, you know, I mean, it doesn't get any more brazen than I don't care
Starting point is 00:30:53 about abortion. I just want to see the sex tape. But that could go as like a historical note on Republican politicians of my lifetime. I think that's way more the norm than it is the exception. He had some comments making light of a woman being raped. It had to do with a taxi driver who had allegedly raped a woman who was under the influence. And in response to that, he wrote. And the moral of this story, don't F a white bitch. All right. So let's get to the racism. Robinson also wrote a number of extremely racist comments, writing in a forum discussing black Republicans in October of 2010. He stated, unprovoked. I'm a black Nazi. Better than Martin Luther King, Donald Trump says.
Starting point is 00:31:46 That same month, he wrote that he advocates for the return of slavery saying, quote, slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it slavery back. I would certainly buy a few. See, that's the funny thing about Mark Robinson. He's so dumb that he doesn't realize he's black. Like if they brought slavery back, you're not going to get to own any slaves, you're dumbass.
Starting point is 00:32:08 And the minute that they took him, he would be the most shocked guy in America. But no, no, no, I'm with you guys, I've been kissing your ass the whole time. I want to be a Nazi too, please. I thought I was with you. And then when he's in chains, he's totally flabbergasted. But I was helping you hate black people. Can we just, look, this is really dark, disgusting stuff. I just want to take a little bit of a break from it to acknowledge the fact that he really
Starting point is 00:32:35 is dumb, he really is. First of all, what are you doing participating in a forum on a porn site? Like I get the people do that, but maybe don't do that. And if you're gonna do that, maybe don't use your first and last name. And maybe don't run for lieutenant governor and then governor after you've done that. Now by the way, I should know, he, CNN reached out to him for comment. His campaign didn't reach back out to them until like two days later. And he vehemently denies this.
Starting point is 00:33:06 He denies that it's him, this is all made up. It's tabloid trash, but it seems like CNN did their due diligence here. Not only do they have the receipts, guys. The same guy who denied the Holocaust and say the Rothschilds run the world, you're surprised that he calls himself a black Nazi behind the scenes? Pretty much admits it in front of the scenes. Unfortunately, there's more. So in a series of seven posts in October of 2011, Robinson disparaged Martin Luther King,
Starting point is 00:33:34 in such intense terms, calling him a comy bastard, worse than a maggot, a ho-effing phony, and a huckster that a user in the threat accused him of being in the KKK. Robinson responded by directing a slur at King. Martin Luther King 2.0. Martin Luther King on steroids. I've only met, well, I've only not met. I've only known one person that I would say, maybe they're better than my. Martin Luther King, probably Nelson Mandela, right?
Starting point is 00:34:08 To take this guy, a rabid anti-Semite who's already said disgusting things about LGBT community and about everyone. And to say that he's better than Martin Luther King, you have to understand how mentally deranged the human being has to be to call this guy better than Martin Luther King? Donald Trump doesn't care. He's like, hey, there's a black guy who likes me. I bet he's better than Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King wouldn't like me as much just because I'm racist.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Just because I did racial housing discrimination for a living when I was coming up in the Queens in New York. And so he doesn't like anyone who is not nice to him. But if you're nice to him, it doesn't matter if you're a Nazi. He'll say you're better than Martin Luther King. This guy has issues, man. This guy has a lot of self-hatred and a lot. of problems. Now, CNN, CNN notes. Him or Trump? Well, I would say both, but I mean, Robinson to an even higher degree. Like, I mean, come on, who says stuff like this? Who like salivates
Starting point is 00:35:16 at the notion of slavery coming back, especially as a black man? Just, I hear you, even Trump might not be that dumb. Or like that full of hate. I mean, anyway, all right. So CNN claims that there are even more vile comments that they did not want to publish because of how extreme they are. But they claim that there's a lot of anti-Semitism, a lot of anti-Muslim rhetoric, and also homophobia. None of that is surprising considering the appetizer we got here with the disgusting comments that we've read. Now, he denies it, as I mentioned, and he even preempted the report by publishing a video in which he called CNN's journalism a high-tech lynching. After denying racism all this time, now the minute they catch him doing what they're doing,
Starting point is 00:36:07 all of a sudden it's a high-tech lynching, just like Clarence Thomas. There's no racism, white supremacy is awesome. I don't know what you guys are talking about. You're criticizing me? I'm being lynched. I'm being lynched. Yeah, it was a reference to Clarence Thomas, actually. So let's watch that video that he put out prior to CNN's report coming out.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Governor Robinson and your Republican nominee for governor as well, of course. Well, guys, the news media is added again. My opponent is added again. You all have seen half-truths and outright lies of Josh Stein on these ads over and over again. And now a story leaked by him to CNN is appearing now. Let me reassure you, the things that you will see in that story, those are not the words of Mark Robinson. You know my words, you know my character, and you know that I have been completely transparent in this race and before. Folks, we've seen this type of stuff in the past as well.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Clarence Thomas famously once said, he was the victim of a high-tech legend. Well, it looks like Mark Robinson is too by a man who refuses to stand on stage and debate me about the real issues that face you. Instead, they want to focus on salacious tabloid lies. We're not going to let them do that. We are staying in this race. we are in it to win it and we know that with your help we will. God bless you and we will see you where on the campaign trail. I really hope that the people of North Carolina do not let the country down by electing this guy. Well, the Republicans already selected him as their nominee.
Starting point is 00:37:45 He won the primary. But it's because the almighty Donald Trump said, this is my guy. I command all of Republicans to vote for him when he was already saying all the vile, disgusting, anti-Semitic, horrible anti-LGBQ, everything in the world. He was already saying all that publicly. And Trump's like, that's why I like him. And so Republicans, you picked this guy. It was a problem for the Republican Party in the 22 midterms. Remember, a lot of the candidates that Donald Trump had endorsed ended up losing.
Starting point is 00:38:20 The red wave that never happened. We're talking about Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz, there were others. And so Carrie Lake is another example. So we'll see how this plays out in North Carolina. But this report is damning. And I don't know if the denials are really going to work in this case. We'll see. I mean, like with Herschel Walker and Mark Robinson, Donald Trump likes picking mentally deranged guys.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Why? Because peas in a pod. How could you call anyone better than Martin Luther King, let alone this clown of a man? That's because he doesn't know anything. He's a buffoon of the highest order. So okay, North Carolina, you gotta make a decision to make. You're gonna pick Mark Robinson and the guy who thought he was awesome, even when he said so many disgusting things publicly already, or are you gonna just be sane for a second?
Starting point is 00:39:10 I don't know. And the funny thing is guys, we don't know, he might win that election in North Carolina. That's the sorry state of politics in America. All right, when we come back from the break, we'll check in on some new polling, showing how Kamala Harris is performing against Donald Trump in the critical battleground states. Good news for Kamala, but we'll see if she can keep it up. Come back and I'll give you the details. Think about it. But what if we told you there was a way to skip over the pressures of banking?

All right, back on TYP, Jankan, Anna, with you guys, and Tracy Eva, thank you for upgrading as well through the join button.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Really appreciate you, Tracy. Anna. Well, we've got some election-related updates to get to, so let's get right to it. He was pretty much gone. They said, Joe, it's over, you're getting out. And he said, I'm not getting out, you're getting out. And they were very nasty, 25th Amendment and everything else. He got out, and they put her in.
Starting point is 00:40:48 And she's somehow a woman, somehow she's doing better than he did. Yeah. But I can't imagine it can last. That's right. Kamala Harris is somehow a woman. And she is performing better than a man, Joe Biden did when he was the one running against Donald Trump. Donald Trump seems to be very confused about that.
Starting point is 00:41:14 But he needs to get over that confusion if he wants to win the election because Kamala continues to increase her lead in some of these critical battleground states, which we're going to get to in just a second. Yeah, to me, the most amazing part of that clip was that he was genuinely perplexed. He was, yeah. He's like, she's a woman, but she's doing better than Joe Biden, who was a man. Yeah. You see like the, look, I don't want to do identity politics. I don't want to talk about race, sex, or all these things. But the sexism was screaming through that comment. Like, he's never once considered that a woman could do better than a man. No, but let me, hold on. Like, it's even worse than that guys, because it's not like he is
Starting point is 00:42:00 comparing a woman with an equal man. He's shocked that a woman, like Kamala Harris was much younger, is able to perform better and be more competitive than an 81 year old man who's suffering from significant cognitive decline. He is perplexed by that, which means that his opinion of women is way lower than even I thought. Yeah, I mean, he, not only that, like if he said it about athletics, the fire department, the military, it's still not right, but you get it that a lot of old school people think. And then when it comes of physical strength on athletics, it is right, right?
Starting point is 00:42:42 Like men are faster, stronger at the highest levels, et cetera, and on average. But he's not talking about any of that. No, he's talking about the realm of careers, politics, intellectual heft, et cetera. And he thinks, a woman can outthink and outperform a senile old man? That is so strange. I thought she did that on a debate stage recently. Yeah, with another senile old man, that's right. So let's get to the latest polling because Trump continues to dig himself in a hole by hyper-focusing on Kamala Harris being a woman and women are dumb.
Starting point is 00:43:19 And obviously some of the lies about Haitian immigrants eating their neighbor's cats, I don't think that's working out for him. And you see it reflected in some of these battleground states. So without further ado, let's go to this first clip where Harry Enton gets into the details of what's happening in the state of Pennsylvania, an incredibly critical state for someone like Kamala Harris to win. Let's watch. This is in the Kisto state in Pennsylvania. All these polls were released in the last 24 hours, and we see a lot more blue than right on your screen.
Starting point is 00:43:54 So Kinnipiac yesterday, plus five in Pennsylvania for Kamala Harris. The New York Times this morning, just out, a four-point lead for Kamala Harris. Franklin and Marshall in Pennsylvania, a three-point margin, a little bit closer. And Maris came out at midnight, or 1201, came out with a tie. I will also note the Washington Post had a one-point advantage for Kamala Harris. So the bottom line is there is a range of results in the Keystone State. Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania. But it leans, the leans in the Harris direction, not one of these results, even within the margin of error.
Starting point is 00:44:28 So I think he's right there. I mean, you're starting to see these polls trend in favor of Kamala Harris. And again, the election always comes down to these battleground states. So Pennsylvania is important in this calculation that Harry Enton has made in regard to Kamala Harris winning the electoral college. Remember, you need 270 electoral college votes in order to win the presidential election. And so he then looks into two other states, Michigan and Wisconsin. Let's take a look at the results there. Let's talk about some of these other battleground states. Yeah, let's talk about Michigan and Wisconsin.
Starting point is 00:45:06 All right, so Maris College, Quinnipiac University, all coming out again within the last 24 hours. Well, this is not such a hard slide to digest because the fact is they both found the same thing in both of the states. Maris and Quinnipiac in the state of Michigan, finding Kamala Harris up by one. And then in Wisconsin, well within the margin of error, but a one point advantage in Wisconsin. The bottom line is at least in these two important states, these two pollsters find the same thing. So in my opinion, things are looking good for Kamala Harris in the battleground states of Pennsylvania and Michigan. But the lead that she's enjoying right now in Wisconsin is not really much of a lead. So keep that in mind, Jank, before we get to Harry Enten and what he believes is the path for victory for Harris, what do you think about all this?
Starting point is 00:45:54 So I had the race at 50-50 for quite some time after Kamala Harris came into the race, went from zero to, but when she first came in, she was still trailing a decent amount. She caught him and then it was 50-50 for a long time. Then I said, I don't know, about 10 days ago or so, she's now got the lead, right? And it's clear enough that she has the lead. But today's the first day, I wish the election were today. If the election were today, I think she wins. And I say that with not great certainty, but I'm worried about how this election is seesong,
Starting point is 00:46:30 seesong, and I don't want it to see saw anymore. Five point lead in Michigan, four point lead in essence in Pennsylvania are really good. That gives you some confidence that that's beyond the margin of error. And even if something weird happens, she still wins if the election were held today. But Anna, you're right, by far the biggest note of caution is Wisconsin is only plus one. that's within the margin of error. And so after all this, after Donald Trump was talking about eating cats and dogs and executing babies and has said 12 other maniacal things per day, it's still only a one point lead in
Starting point is 00:47:06 Wisconsin. Yeah, yeah. And I, that is concerning. And I think it does speak to the frustration that Americans have been feeling in this country as like as inflation really did impact their personal finances. You really can't talk about the Inflation Reduction Act and the wonderful things that were accomplished for infrastructure when Americans have been struggling with inflation. Yes, it has slowed down, but you have the high inflation and then you have the high interest rates. It's been pretty brutal for Americans.
Starting point is 00:47:38 And I think that, you know, at the end of the day, what they end up caring about the most is what their own personal finances are looking like. And they're going to blame the current administration. Yeah, well, look, guys, again, if you're a Democrat, you're going to be very frustrated with me, but my job to tell the truth here. So when they pass those bills, they were like, oh, my God, FDR 2.0, these are the greatest bills ever. So why aren't they running on them? Why isn't it working? If these were the greatest bills that were ever passed as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, why isn't Wisconsin ecstatic over it? Why isn't the whole country ecstatic over it? Because when FDR passed Social Security, the country was ecstatic about it and it made an immediate impact and FDR was beloved and won four terms.
Starting point is 00:48:23 And it was something very specific rather than like this nebulous like infrastructure bill, which by the way, infrastructure is important and it's important to pass an infrastructure bill. I have already erred my grievances with that bill, including privatizing public lands, blah, blah, blah, you guys get the point. But infrastructure projects also take time. And so you don't reap the benefits or the rewards of that policy until the infrastructure is built. Yeah, but I mean, look, find a way to brag about it if you think it's really good. But the reason that they're not bragging about any of it is because obviously it's not resonating. Right. If it resonated, they would double down, quadrupled down.
Starting point is 00:49:00 They have all the money in the world. They would run ads. They would focus on it. But they're choosing not to focus on it at all because they tested it. And they're like, we help the semiconductor industry. What do you think? Does that help you vote for us? And they're like, no, wait, what did you do?
Starting point is 00:49:16 We gave $50 billion to these giant companies. No, not interested. Now, you could say, hey, it was a good bill and the country needed it for national security, et cetera. But it's not resonating with the average American at all. So sorry, but I was right about that. Not FDR 2.0. They can't find one thing to brag about in any of the bills that he passed. Yeah, look, you know me, you know that I was very supportive of the Chips Act, but I agree with you in terms of the political benefits of passing the Chips Act.
Starting point is 00:49:44 So with all that in mind, please keep Kamala Harris's performance, current performance in Wisconsin in mind. And now we go to Harry Enton's theory on how she can win the electoral college. Let's watch. We average it all together. This is all the September polling, not just the ones that I showed you. And what do we see? In Michigan, a four point advantage for Kamala Harris. Pennsylvania, a two-point advantage. Wisconsin, a two-point advantage. Again, pretty gosh darn close, but leaning in her direction. And John, you know me, what does this all mean for the electoral map? Well, in the race to 270 electoral votes, keep in mind, Kamala Harris can win with just these northern battleground states, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. So if we lean all of those blue here,
Starting point is 00:50:29 and even if we give Donald Trump, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, Kamal Harris gets to exactly 270 electoral votes. So I agree with him when he says it's still close, even after he did the average of all the polls. But that is how he feels Kamala Harris is most likely to win the election if she, if the polls continue trending in the direction that they're trending right now. But what do you think, Jake? Do you think that she could win over Wisconsin, secure those three battleground states and win
Starting point is 00:51:01 the electoral college? Look, if the normal trajectory continues, she's going to, win. I'm worried about a war breaking out of the Middle East that would just, then you throw out every one of these numbers. None of them mean anything anymore because if the war is significant enough, big enough, it will consume the entire election and people will vote because it's top of mind. And they'll be worried, are we going to go to war, etc. Now, even if the war starts in the Middle East, it might not get that big by election day. But I'm just telling you that there are other factors here. And remember, there's another giant factor here. Donald Trump can
Starting point is 00:51:35 make 200 mistakes in a row, and he could say that he personally ate a cat and a dog and that he's Haitian. And he won't lose any of his base. He won't lose a single vote in his base, right? And for the ones that are leaning towards him, apparently they don't mind. They don't mind anything, right? Oh, he thinks a woman is by definition inferior to a man. Don't mind, they don't mind, right? So he's not going to lose almost anything in his base. So, but if Kamala Harris makes one significant mistake that's like so, so significant, that it's about a quarter of the size of an average Trump mistake, right? The entire media, right wing media will go nuts and that mainstream media in order to seem
Starting point is 00:52:14 fair will pile on and pile on. And oh, come on, I can't believe she said something wrong, she said something wrong. And they all scream it from the rooftops. Meanwhile, that same day, Donald Trump will say 18 things that are wrong and outrageous and even worse. But the uneven battlefield helps, I know that for MAGA, they're going to lose their minds, but you guys don't get it. The media overall, when you include right wing media,
Starting point is 00:52:39 is tilted towards you guys so significantly and you have no idea. So you've got that to worry about, you got the war to worry about. That's why I say, I wish she told her she weren't today because I think she would win today. It would be by a tiny, tiny margin, but I think she'd pull it off. But let's see what happens. We've got about 50 long days left and anything can happen. But right now, she is definitely leading. All right, we're gonna take a break. When we come back for the second hour, we've got the Trump brackets. Don't miss it.
Starting point is 00:53:34 You know, B. B. B. You know,
