The Young Turks - Hegseth Gets Stunlocked - May 5, 2026

Episode Date: May 6, 2026

New attacks on U.S. warships in the Strait are testing Donald Trump’s desire to wind down the Iran conflict, while comedian Tim Dillon mocked Trump as “not a real fighter” who now wants out of the war entirely. The Los Angeles Times published a haunting report on how the IDF is increasingly using AI in warfare, adding to growing ethical concerns surrounding the conflict.

I need it. Let's go! First, Jane Huger, Anna Kasparian with you guys on the online news show. All right, so we've got Iran updates today. How deep into the war are we going, et cetera, of course, your daily updates and daily curiosity about is the war going to be over or expanded imminently. And then speaking of expansion, Israel goes into southern Lebanon. And we have a lot of details on what has happened there. And as usual, it is gruesome. And then a little bit later in the program, a couple of other things, speaking of gruesome,

ICE attention facilities, the violence has gone up tremendously. And not from the detainees, of course, but from the guards. And then we're gonna show you some of my interview with Sean Ryan, because I think that it's a really interesting moment of unification among the right and the left on at least several super important issues. So all that on tonight's show, Casper. Well, we begin with some updates on the Iran war, which we were led to believe yesterday had ended its ceasefire because, you know, you had the U.S. and Iran attacking each other. But today we learned something entirely different.

So let's get to the story. To be clear, this operation is separate and distinct from Operation Epic Fury. Project Freedom is defensive in nature, focused in scope, and temporary in duration, with one mission, protecting innocent commercial shipping from Iranian aggression. American forces won't need to enter Iranian waters or airspace. It's not necessary. We're not looking for a fight, but Iran also cannot be allowed to block innocent countries and their goods from an international waterway. Iran is the clear aggressor, harassing civilian vessels, threatening mariners from every nation,

indiscriminately, and weaponizing a critical choke point for its own financial benefit, at least trying to. I mean, you're doing a lot of work to try to convince the American people that Iran is the aggressor when it was the United States that decided to enter an illegal war, start an illegal war against Iran at the behest of Israel. But nonetheless, the ceasefire with Iran, according to the Trump administration, is still intact. But Project Freedom, which of course is meant to safely guide cargo vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, is allegedly a temporary operation, according to Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.

And it's probably a temporary mission because we don't have the weaponry necessary to shoot down Iran's drones or their boats in an effort to help them. guide various vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. But I've got more details in a second. Jank, your brief two cents. Yeah, so two things about this. One is we'll get to why all the reasons why what Heggs has said is not just horse crap, but why they're saying it in this exact way, right?

What they're trying to accomplish, which is super goofy in my opinion. It's all wordplay, but it affects legal options here. The second thing we're gonna talk about is, what in the world are we trying to accomplish now? And because Iran has already offered the exact terms we want. So that leads to this mystery that we're in today. So I'll give you the facts and then we'll analyze. So the latest reporting on Iran in the Wall Street Journal specifically claims that Trump

desperately wants to avoid restarting the hot war with Iran. So actual fighting, actual bombing, that kind of stuff. And even though we are still at war technically with Iran, over the past few days, Trump has downplayed it as a mini-war. He's also referred to it as a little squirmish. In fact, we have some of that on tape, so let's take a quick look at that. Our country's booming now, despite the fact that we're in a, I call it a mini-war, because that's all they are, they don't have a Navy anymore.

We hit an all-time high stock market today, despite that we're in a little skirmish military. I call it a skirmish because Iran has no chance. I just want to curl up in the fetal position and rock back and forth. Like I just, this is so embarrassing. Okay, so it's worth noting that the language has changed over time. Trump's language on this has changed over time. February 28th, the day that he started the war, he referred to it as a major combat operation. March 1st, four week process.

By the way, we've already passed the two month mark. March 9th, just an excursion. March 11th, excursion that will keep us out of a war, mind you, we were in a war and continue to be in a war. March 26th, little detour, April 16th, little diversion, May 1st. Hostilities have terminated. Today, many war.

Soon it'll be little Marco. So the reason why he's changing all these terms is because once you get the 60 days, Congress has to vote on it. So that's why Hegsith was like, well, Epic Fury is over, so you don't have to vote on that. This is a new mission, not war, because we're not gonna vote on war, and this will give us another 60 days, and this is called Project Freedom. So we have found a legal loophole so that Congress doesn't have to authorize this war. Well, that's semantics and nonsense.

Congress can just vote on it, obviously the same exact war. Why is the Strait of Hormuz blocked? And Iranians are aggressors? Yeah, if you minus the fact that we bombed the living crap out of their country just like a minute ago. Right? So it's absurd on every count. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. You cannot be aligned with Israel and do Israel's bidding and not embarrass the American people with your actions in regard to Iran.

So we're not stupid, there are no kamikaze dolphins, like please stop, please for the love of God, please stop saying humiliating things before the American people, treating them as if they're total morons, take the deal from Iran if members of the Trump administration are legitimately, you know, shaking in their boots about enriched uranium, take the deal, say that you won, Okay, spin it as a big victory. And for Israel, you know, to calm them down, deuce is done. We're done with you. We're moving on.

I know that's not going to calm them down. They're going to freak out. But who cares? Tiny little irrelevant country in the Middle East that dragged us into a war that we shouldn't have been dragged into. End it now. But of course, that's not going to happen. Trump knows who his daddy is.

So now let's watch Pete Higgsith get flustered when asked about Trump's shifting rhetoric. I want to first express my gratitude and admiration for the work you do and for everyone involved in our armed forces. On the first day of this conflict, President Trump addressed the Iranian people directly and said, when we're finished, take over your government. It'll be yours to take. And then on the seventh day of the conflict, in a truth social post, the president said, quote, there will be no deal with Iran except all caps, exclamation mark, unconditional surrender. happens to that pledge to the Iranians. And when did the president decide to capitulate on his demand for unconditional surrender? James, I wouldn't. I wouldn't, you started out nicely,

but you ended exactly where we knew you would end. The president hasn't capitulated on anything. He holds the cards. We remain the, we maintain the upper hand, and Project Freedom only strengthens that hand. You're a little bitch. That's what you are, Hegseth. Okay, this is such a waste of time and the strait of Hormuz remains closed, okay? We can't just keep shooting down drones and fighting the Iranians as we're trying to help guide vessels through the strait. You have to use diplomacy to end this. But here's the problem. We have two countries involved in this fight against Iran, and these two countries have different objectives. Israel doesn't want it to end because they want regime change or a failed state.

The United States, in my opinion, doesn't even care about the enriched uranium, but is pretending to care about the enriched uranium in order to, I don't know, keep us in this war. That doesn't benefit the American people at all in any way, shape or form. Just a few more details here, Jenk, and then I'll go to you. Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is conflicted about what to do next with Iran, which is incredibly obvious to anyone paying attention. US officials say that Trump for days has toggled between two competing impulses, severely punishing Iran for failing to abandon its nuclear work, and avoiding a significant

escalation that could draw the US deeper into a Middle East conflict. Now, according to the Wall Street Journal, President Trump is genuine, sincere in wanting to end Iran's enrichment of uranium, but he does not want to resume US strikes, probably because our weapons have been depleted. Trump believed that the US could get concessions from Iran by blockading the Strait of Hormuz. You did get concessions, you didn't take it. But nonetheless, Iran has yet to make an offer that Trump likes. But I don't know how much further Iran could possibly go to please President Trump.

Like what more do you want? They offered to end their nuclear enrichment program. Yeah. So look, there's a lot more things that are clear now and still say. some that are left to be decided. First couple of small points, they keep saying that Iran is the aggressor, because they want to frame it as we didn't start a war. We're just doing self-defense here.

Look, for the MAGA guys that are still watching Fox News, yeah, sure, you could tell them that Iran attacked Missouri and they'll believe it, right? So he doesn't even have to bother with that lie, and no one else believes him. So that's point. Point two, I'm really worried that the stock market is accidentally encouraging him. Since the market hasn't crashed because they keep believing him like morons, he keeps going well, the stock market's fine, so I guess we should like continue the war. Because what he was really worried about was when the war first started, the markets

crashed. And he, that upsets rich people, so that greatly upset Trump. And he was super worried about it. Then the market lost his mind. They're like, ah, the war's over. Who cares? Who cares? And now Trump has now said repeatedly.

You saw it one time, but I've seen him many times. He's like, the market's fine, so everything's good. So we can keep going in the war. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything is not fine. Not only is the price of oil and gas skyrocketing right now and is only going to increase more because of limited supply due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. We have a shortage of fertilizer.

And American farmers are devastated by that. And it's only going to get worse. One third of the world's fertilizer comes or is transported through the strait of Hormuz. Yeah. So we're like, no, everything is not fine. Inflation is already hitting us, it's only gonna get worse. Oh, but the precious stock market, the precious stock market, the precious stock market's doing so well. The wealthy are okay, they can afford a little bit of inflation when it comes to food and gas and things that, you know, working class Americans are struggling with.

Who cares? So stock market's doing well. Not a single donor cares about the price of gas. They're so rich that doesn't affect them at all. It's 0.01% of their salary, let alone income and wealth, etc. So they, for them, the gas price is totally irrelevant. The only thing that's irrelevant is the beloved stock market, okay? So, all right, so that's a bad incentive and a bad misunderstanding why Trump there. Okay, now, to the main point that Anna's being in about this war, I had to go back and double check

because I'm like, everyone in American media seems to be saying that Iran didn't offer to end their enrichment program, but I swear I saw in the peace offer that they basically offered to end it. So I went back and double check. Yeah, they did. They promised zero stockpile of enrichment. They promised that there would be no enrichment for years, and that enrichment would be kept to between 3 and 3.6 percent, which is nowhere near a weapons possibility, not within miles of it. You need 90 percent enrichment to build a nuclear weapon. So wait a minute. Iran definitively already offered to end their enrichment program that could be turned into a weapon. No question, no doubt.

Okay, I get Trump is lying about it. I get Israel's lying about it because they have always wanted that as an excuse to go into the war and to stay in the war. Why is all of American media lying about it? It's insane, guys, it's in black and white. There is no question. In fact, those outlets reported on it. Then they went, had collective amnesia, which they do all the time. And the very next day, they all pretended Iran didn't offer to end their enrichment program.

It is insane. So literally, hold on, let me also remind everybody, literally days before the U.S. struck Iran and started the war, you had the Omani mediator, the person involved in the negotiations between the United States and Iran, go on one of those Sunday shows and tell Margaret Brennan that the Iranians were willing to give up enrichment of uranium, that the talks were actually making some progress. And what's really interesting is Steve Whitkoff went and lied and said, no, that's not the case. You know, they have enriched uranium enough and have enough of it to build X number of bombs in the next week, which was totally false.

He lied. He sabotaged peace. Gee, I wonder why. Why did Steve Whitkoff do that? Why did he lie to the American people about Iran? So that's three times that they've offered to end their enrichment program, including one time that they did, that was the Obama deal, right? So, and then Israel's like, oh, you ended your weapons program.

We hate that because that was going to be an excuse for us. That's all literal. We all know that was the, if you ask a reporter, did they end their weapons program under the Obama deal? They will say yes, they did. And then when we got out of it, did we not use it as an excuse to go attack them? Yes, we did, right? Did they not offer right before the war to end their enrichment program again?

Yes, they did. And they just not offer it literally two days ago. Yes, they did. So why are you all saying and pretending that Hegseth and Trump when they say, well, we've got to prevent the nukes. The only thing we're in this war because we don't want a nuclear weapon exploded as if they're gonna hit San Antonio tomorrow. I mean, it's, look, and now, look guys, I grew up in a mainstream media that was filled with propaganda. The whole point was propaganda, but it was subtle. And they were really, really good at it.

Now they're getting over the top. I heard that same Wall Street Journal article that Anna is talking about, it was comical. It would frame it all in terms of, well, Donald Trump is trying to stop the war, but Iran has attacked again. Are you kidding me? Now you're just flat out lying here. I know, that's exactly right. So look, this is how consent is manufactured, right? So look, this war was never about nuclear weapons. It was never about nuclear weapons, Considering the fact that there was a nuclear deal in place with checks and balances to ensure that Iran is not building a nuke, is not enriching uranium to the point where they have the

materials to build a nuke. That was in place, thanks to what Obama accomplished in his second term. Trump comes in, rips it up, which paves the way for Iran to enrich uranium. I mean, why wouldn't you, right? And that was used as, in their minds, leverage in the negotiations with the United States. But there is no negotiation. with the United States when Israel is involved. Because for Israel, this was never about nuclear weapons. It was never about their ballistic missiles. It was always about regime change or a failed state.

Either one would be good enough for Israel. They want to weaken Iran so they can do honestly exactly what they've been doing for the last two and a half years, expanding into territory that doesn't belong to them, including in Lebanon. So I'm gonna get to Israel and Lebanon real quick in a second, but I want to give you guys a sense of what the Wall Street Journal said so you know that I'm not exaggerating. So this is a very typical paragraph in the middle of the story.

They say now Trump has little choice, but to make a decision between you ordering a fresh round of airstrikes against Iran or brushing off to Iran's provocations and charging ahead with his diplomatic initiative. He has little choice, that's an opinion in what's supposed to be a straight news article, right? That's an opinion. And not only that, they make it seem like Trump's the victim of Iran here, and that he has no, He has no choice.

I mean, and the two things that he's considering is either matching Iran's terrible provocations that they're obviously at fault for, or continuing in his benighted and holy mission, diplomatic mission to resolve this. Now the propaganda is so thick you could see it. That's insane, right? What would happen is- It's embarrassing, by the way. I mean, if you're the reporter who wrote that, please retire.

Let's see, what was that reporter's name? I can look it up right now as we speak. Yeah. Alexander Ward. Yeah, Alexander Ward, just humiliating. Too better. No, just retire. Okay, so now look, here's another thing that our media is, I've seen it.

That's why their framing is amazing. So I had to go and double check this one too. One of our warships was hit, and they actually write it in like paragraph 17, paragraph 32. One of our warships was hit by the Iranians as it was trying to go through the Strait of Hormuz. Operation freedom. That's not a small little, that's a giant headline. Holy cow, Iran hit one of our warships. And they're like, yeah, I mean, I am including the fact, so you can't criticize me.

They hit our one of our warships. And then they're like as if it's no big deal. And then they're all pretending like the Strait of Hormuz is almost open. Yeah. It's unreal. So guys, the two things that are going to be determinative here is, well, the number one is Israel. They're gonna make the decision and then they're gonna let us know. And they've made that decision.

That was the thrust of our show yesterday when they sent out all their pundits from all the different areas, all with the same talking point, saying, oh no, we have to do one of two things, go back in and do regime change. So they're back all the way to the regime change. Or we have to really heavily arm the Iranians. And that's the cause of civil war. So we've told you many times, Plan A for Israel is regime change put in a puppet that'll serve them. Plan B is a devastating civil war that'll probably kill millions of people in Iran,

but that'll keep them busy so that Iran is so that Israel is the only regional superpower. So Israel is not going to pause. And that leads to the second thing, which is they definitely want Lebanon, and they again, have made it absolutely clear now. There was a little period there of a couple of weeks where their intentions were not perfectly clear because they had taken a lot of hits. And it looked like maybe they're concerned that they're running out of interceptor missiles for Iron Dome, maybe they got hit too hard in Lebanon and they're

rethinking it. But they've regrouped and they've made a final decision. They're definitely going to continue in Lebanon and they want us to definitely continue in Iran. So actually, if we're right, that means the dye is already cast because we don't believe America's in control of the American government. We believe Israel's in control of the American foreign policy. So the rest is all window dressing. You'll see with your own eyes probably in a couple of days or a couple of weeks, whether we're right or wrong about that. But right now, it's important for you to know the actual facts because you're really

not getting them in Main Street media. They're burying them. If you're ever asking yourself what the intentions are of the Israelis, look at the options, look at the possibilities, and always pick the absolute worst intentions. Because that's what they're gonna pursue. That has been their intention from the very beginning. So so far 17 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Lebanon since March 2nd. So they are paying a bit of a price.

And we'll see, we'll see what happens. We'll see if they're able to capture the entirety of Lebanon at this point, because they've already made clear, we're taking southern Lebanon. So- And they're already talking about settling it. And by the way, those settlers are probably gonna deal with some- some resistance, some attacks. And I don't wanna hear anybody forcing me or pressuring me to feel empathy or sympathy for any of them, because I won't.

That's stolen land, it's blood-soaked land, and this is what the Israelis do again and again, and then they make themselves out to be precious little victims when they're targeted by the resistance. Yeah, anyone who does that, which is almost all of national media, are obviously propagandists who work for Israel. So I don't want to hear any of their nonsense. And when they start crying their crocodile tears about, oh, we're so worried about bigotry, please, please, you're, we can't stand your lies anymore, we're vomiting your lies.

So the final point is a quick one. You know, I've now started reading Anna in national media again, two different articles. They don't say that Hezbollah are terrorists for killing the 17 IDF soldiers that are invading their homes and their land, because that's a bridge too far. so obviously wrong. Looting homes, by the way, as well. And looting them and putting them on tape, ha ha, we're robbing them before we kill them and destroy their homes, et cetera.

But what they're saying now is they're saying, well, Israel was forced to attack and then 17 Israeli soldiers have been killed by Hezbollah, making it seem like Hezbollah is the aggressor. I mean, come on. I'm done with it. So, and but if you read these papers, New York Times, Washington Post, etc., you'll get the impression that poor Israel is about to lose all of their territory and maybe their entire existence, they're down to a tiny amount of land and Hezbollah and Iran keeps aggressively

attacking them for no reason at all, but because they hate Jews, right? And so the propaganda is unbearable. Yeah. And obviously they've taken over our media because no objective reporter would ever report it like this, it's over the top. Well, we come back from the break, I want to show you how, uh, Touchy that Pete Hexith gets when he's asked about Israel's influence over the White House. And we'll also talk about how all of this is impacting the approval ratings of both the Trump administration and the Republican Party overall.

Come right back. I like tacos. All right, let's go to members on t.com. Uriah Heap says, welcome to the Palace of Truth and Justice. That gives us a chance to see the light of this and believe in who gives us this truth. Thank you, I appreciate it. Gemily says the stock market continues to hit all time highs because U.S. consumers are paying corporations record high prices including gas, and justice corporations are ready to fire record

numbers of Americans replacing them with AI. So guys, I don't even believe the jobs numbers anymore because sometimes anecdotal evidence overwhelms poll number or some other number that people are putting out there. That doesn't happen often, but this is one of those cases. Every story I hear about AI in real world is people getting fired, fired, fired, fired, fired, fired. And then Trump administration reports that no, job numbers are going up. I don't believe it. There's, and even if there's some sort of weird temporary blip like that, there's no way

in the world that it holds. So I guarantee economic oblivion by the end of Trump's term. So but all right, let's see who's right and who's wrong. the stock market is filled with, it's a mental asylum. The fact that they think that the economy is in great shape now means that all those guys don't know anything. They're unbelievable in their ignorance. Okay, Jenks left tricep or fear, and by the way, this is not about them.

It's human beings. Warren Buffett said, why do you think nobody can buy low and sell high? Because when things are high, everybody's buying, buying like maniacs. Jenks left trice up or furious, says not to mention unemployment numbers due to to rise Spirit Airlines, hello. And that is one of hundreds of examples I can give you. But the lunatics in Wall Street are like, bye, bye, back on T. Y, Jank and Anna with you guys, a couple of fun YouTube member comments for you.

Florian A31 says Anna calling Hexeth a little bitch hits different. Love it. Okay, that's what they said. I got I did that. And then great Riffis here says, love that beautiful fire Anna, all in the name of Israel. So I'm tired of Americans dying for another country. Same. I'm tired of looking around and seeing our country fall apart and then looking to the political leadership that couldn't give a damn about us.

I'm so sick of it. Well, don't worry though, Ted Cruz got an award from the Israelis today. Ted Cruz is disgusting, okay? He makes my skin crawl. Yeah. So, but everyone who has pledged their loyalty to serve Israel in the Senate is in great shape. And mainstream media says they're amazing, wonderful people. And we're all, of course, anti-Semites for criticizing him.

All right, go ahead. All right, let's get to our next story. All right, today's Secretary of Defense, Pete Heggzith, was asked, if the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, dog walks President Donald Trump. Now we here at the young Turks are fully aware that Trump gets dog walked on a daily basis, thus humiliating himself in the American people. But how did Hegsif handle that question? Let's take a look. In recent weeks, both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's head of

Massad have stated their intent not to cease combat with the Iranians. Netanyahu put this on Twitter, Israel's head of Massad said Israel's goals are not finished until the Iranian government collapses. And so they're referring to the government that President Trump has brokered a ceasefire with and is working on a lasting peace in the region with. And so that's something many Americans, especially American farmers are hoping he does get to a lasting peace. And so if President Trump is successful in that and the Israelis are explicitly stating their

intent to continue fighting at a later date, how can you ensure America doesn't get roped back into a war if that comes? And secondly, with Netanyahu comfortable tweeting something like that out, and also Netanyahu has continued bombing Lebanon despite President Trump explicitly telling it on to. I was saying your question is based on the false premise that somehow President Trump is being pulled in by Prime Minister Netanyan to any of these actions. And that's where you're going. Just to be clear, President Trump has led at every step of this based on his view of American

interest in America first. And we're grateful that Israelis have been very capable partners at many steps of this. And they may have some objectives at times that are slightly different than ours. But there's only one hand on the wheel ultimately directing this, whether it's Project Freedom or previously Operation Epic Fury and it's President Trump. Picture this, it's midnight, you're lying in bed, scrolling through ShopT, of course.

You guys are the only ones with the hands on the wheels. We totally got it. Jank, back to you. The most important part of that was what the reporter said. The Israeli government

is saying that no, we must continue the war until the Iranian government collapses, which not only would be an extension of the war for years, but it would involve tens of thousands of American troops and certain disaster. So, well, we're going to find out who's in charge soon. Back to you. And by the way, complete destruction of the global economy, given the importance of the Strait of Hormuz and the very real situation on the ground, which is that only diplomatic means could end that blockade. There is no military option available to the United States.

We don't have the production capacity, domestically speaking, to, you know, build enough weaponry to compete with Iran's incredibly cheap drones. And we're already dealing with a situation where we've depleted 80%, upward of 80% at this point, of our missile interceptors, like, what are we doing? What are we even doing right now? But okay, yeah, I'm sure that the US is in charge and Trump isn't getting dog walked by Israel, even as his approval ratings are tanking, even as the economy is suffering. I mean, total clown show here.

What's amazing, though, Jank, is ironically, an ever so slight majority of Israelis think that Trump is the one pulling Netanyahu strings. Of course, because they've been taught that they're the victims and they're powerless. Totally powerless. And they control nothing at all. They barely can control themselves. But even so, I think it's telling that the number is 51%. So 51% of Israelis believe that the Trump administration has more influence over Israel's defense decisions than the government with Israel, with Israeli Jews having a similar view, 56%.

While Arab Israelis think both the government and the U.S. administration have equal decision making power. Okay. And the Arabs are also wrong. That's not even close. I agree, yeah. But still, 49% of Israelis are like, oh yeah, we're spank in the U.S. We're the ones in control. Think about that.

Well, that's a good point. Well, to be fair, 44% of Israeli Jews, so a little lower number. Think, yeah, we obviously own America and control their foreign policy and their government, but if you say it, we'll destroy your life. Yep. Okay, I'm allowed to say it, I'm allowed to think it if I'm an Israeli Jew. But if you say it, I'll send my dogs after you, the ones that I know I control, that's called American media, let alone American government.

Last thing, speaking of what the Israelis think, 82% were in favor of going further in Gaza. The genocide was not enough for them. 79% are in favor of attacking Lebanon and taking their land. So we've lost the country. It's become a fully fascist state. Well, let me just say that over the last two and a half years, a lot of the last two and a half A lot of the Israelis who don't agree with what's been going on have left Israel. I was on a flight recently and there was a couple sitting in front of me.

The man in the couple turned around and said, thank you for what you're doing. I really, really appreciate it. You're, you know, and I said, thank you. And then he's like, my wife is Israeli. And she turned around and was like, oh yeah, I watch your show. I was like, what? Yeah. You know what I mean?

I was like a little bit scared. But no, there are definitely Israelis who don't agree with it. And a lot of them have left Israel. Yeah, I talked to a former Israeli couple of weeks ago. He's in London now because he's a great guy and he can't stomach the genocide. But what's more important in their personal lives is how they get bullied inside of Israel. Of course. Right, because fascists will not abide by any dissent.

And so once the country becomes fascist, they're gonna try to drive out all the good people in the country. And they're succeeding in that. And what you have left is an extremist society that is, is cheering on more genocide, more bloodshed, more land theft, and it's terrible. So I'm gonna remind you guys of this one more time. Israel is the size of Papua New Guinea in terms of population. Imagine if our entire foreign policy was structured around Papua New Guinea. And then the media told us, no, Papa New Guinea has no extra influence over the US.

And then imagine we spent $8 trillion attacking the seven islands around Papua New Guinea. And then the press said, no, you're a Papua New Guineaist. Okay, but- You know, I mean, like this is- To be fair. They're comical, man. You could make a better argument for Papua New Guinea than you can for Israel. At least with Papua New Guinea, like their coffee is lit. You know what I'm saying?

Like, what do we get from Israel other than bad intel, intentionally bad intel, to drag us into wars. We get wars, we get a robbery, etc. But we're not allowed to say any of that. But if you want, you can say anything you want about Papua New Guinea, because no one in the press cares about them or is bullied by them, or is bullied by them, or, works for them, and they haven't bribed all of our government officials. But hey, we're so sorry for noticing. I know that the genocide is no problem at all.

People noticing the genocide is the real problem, according to American news media. All right, well, why don't we move on to the next angle to this story? Let's talk about the fallout. I spoke with President Trump for 20 minutes about the situation with Iran. He talked about Project Freedom and the U.S. efforts to guide vessels through the Strait of Hormuzes. issuing a new warning to the Iranian regime saying if the Iranians try to target U.S. ships in this area, they will be, quote, blown off the face of the earth. They should do the smart thing, you know.

They should do the smart thing. Because we don't want to go and kill people, really. I don't want to. I don't want to. It's too tough. It appears that President Trump is under the impression that his rhetoric could potentially pressure Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz. I don't really understand what's going on here.

Now, to be fair, Trump speaks from both sides of his mouth. He talks about how he's going to obliterate Iran, and then he turns around and says that they're making progress with peace negotiations. In that last clip that you watched, he is asking Iran to do the right thing. And Iran has done the right thing on multiple occasions, including offering a proposal to the U.S. that would end their uranium enrichment program, which is what Trump purports to care so much about. Yet we are still involved in this war. The Iran war is officially passed the two month mark. And I'm gonna tell you how this is impacting Trump's approval rating and domestic politics

here in the United States. But before I do, Cenk, what's your read? Yeah, so one is I want you guys to stick around to see the reaction of Americans and how badly it's hurting us. And number two is the reaction of the Iranians. A quick preview of that is they're so confused. They're like, wait, I don't understand. Trump keeps saying things that aren't at all true, like they just kind of confuses to how to respond to this guy living in an alternate reality.

Exactly. Now, escalation is something that Trump purportedly does not want. He doesn't want to reenter a hot war where the U.S. is bombing Iran again. At least that is what is being alleged. Now, prior to Project Freedom's launch, and for those who are unfamiliar with that, Project Freedom is basically a mission where the U.S. would help guide cargo vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, striking down Iranian drones and things like that to create a clear path. We don't have enough interceptors to be able to do that for a long period of time.

So what's next? What's going to happen? That's the real question. And despite all of the efforts at defending our involvement in this war, despite all the lies we've heard from the Trump administration, the American people ain't buying it. And it's reflected in Trump's approval ratings. So let's talk about the latest poll from Washington Post, ABC Ipsos. This was released last Friday and it revealed that a large majority of Americans disagree with Trump and his handling in Iran, handling of Iran. So the poll shows that 61% of respondents believe the use of military force against Iran was a mistake with just 36% saying it was the right decision. Polling from Sunday night, so this is after Operation Freedom was, you know, Project Freedom

was launched, the poll didn't do much better for Trump actually. Sunday's Washington Post, ABC News, Ipsos poll shows Trump underwater on several key issues on the Iran war, 66% disapprove of his handling compared to 33% who approve. And it didn't end there. So 76% of Americans disapprove of how he has dealt with rising prices. Remember, the main reason why he got elected and actually achieved the popular vote in 2024 was because he kept driving home the point that he was going to do something about affordability.

He's done nothing about affordability other than make prices worse through entering this war at the behest of Israel. Roughly 72% disapprove of how he has handled inflation and roughly 65% disapprove of how he has handled the economy overall. Now Trump seems to realize that he's made a mistake by listening to the Israelis and going to war for them. But he's unable to do anything about it because as you're about to hear from Tim Dillon, he's not a general, he's a politician.

You can feel it. You can feel that it's not going our way. You can feel that it's not working. You can feel that Trump wants out of it. You can feel it. This is not what he does. He's not a real fighter. He's like a shi-talker.

He's a casino kingpin. He's a reality star. He's very comfortable in that game. Late night, firing off tweets at Elizabeth Warren, that's his game. Talking with Mika and Joe, Morning Joe. He's comfortable doing that all day long. No, a rally? Forget it.

Standing there for three hours talking, extemporaneously off the cuff, he's all in. And that's what he does. This is not where he shines. And he feels uncomfortable. You can tell he's not happy about this because this is not what he does. This is also further reason you can feel that he was really pushed into this. Tim Dillon is absolutely right. And honestly, his show has some of the best political commentary in the country.

But I just want to turn to the real negative impact that Americans are already facing as a result of this war. Let's go to graphic three here. Farmer force to raise prices as a result of rising costs, quote, as much as we don't want to up our prices, we have to because of everything that's going on. Now what's everything that's going on? The shortage in fertilizer, a third of which is transported through the Strait of Hormuz, which is blocked right now, thanks to the war against Iran. Let's go to another head. headline here. Everything is pretty much high now, so you've got to kind of play monopoly with a lot of stuff. Consumers are struggling with rising gas prices, again caused by the war against Iran. CBS Chicago details how rising gas prices are causing issues for ride share drivers and

passengers. So guys, the domino effect of this war on our economy is becoming clear by the day. Yet there is no indication that Trump is going to end this war, like really end this war, and take one of Iran's, you know, offers, which he claims he wants to end their uranium enrichment program. They've offered to do that. So why didn't he take the deal? Because it was never about nuclear weapons, it was never about uranium, it was never about uranium, it was never about ballistic missiles, it was always about the country that dog walks our government,

that's Israel, wanting regime change in Iran. So that's what this is about. Okay, so first on Tim Dillon. My way of saying that is Trump is kind of a sloppy fighter. That's a word I made up. But so sometimes I'll see guys growing up talking tough and this, now we're gonna show you. And then they get into a fight and I'm curious how it's gonna go and then they do this. Or like, uh, I'm like, that's not fighting.

That's really sad. And that's Trump, right? Okay, so he talks a big game, but he's a coward internally and doesn't, like yeah, it's easy to fight Rosie O'Donnell with mean tweets. But as the Iranians said, the battle is not one with tweets, it is one on the battlefield. They're Indian, I didn't know they were Indian. I can't do a person accent. I do a pretty good Persian accent, but I'm not gonna-

We are waiting for you. Okay, anyway, so now let's get to the Iranians, because they, so, so, People go to them and ask them, okay, so is Donald Trump right? Is the war almost over? And so there's the parliament speaker, there's Arachi, who's their foreign minister, and a couple different people who comment. And they're perplexed. Their comments are hilarious because they're like, wait, Donald Trump says that this

straight of horoose is open, but it isn't open. We just hit a US warship trying to get through. We are waiting for you. So they're like, I don't know what you mean, right? And then he's like, he says, we're gonna go through your straight of Horamus. removes in a humanitarian mission. They're like, we're in the middle of a war. What humanitarian mission are you talking about?

No, no, it's okay. It's okay, we're going through because it's a humanitarian mission. They're like, we don't care what you call it. That's not a, okay, you know what? US is blocking Iranian ports right now. It's okay though, we're gonna go through it in a humanitarian mission. It's not a thing, right? It's not a thing if they have to do it or we asked to do it.

And he says, no, now you're attacking us, you have invaded us. And they're like, what you're talking about, man? You're insane. And then they offered up this really good peace deal over the weekend. As Adam pointed out to you, the zero stockpile of enrichment. They would even take their enrichment out of their own country for several years. They're like, and then Trump comes back and goes, they won't end their enrichment program. They're like, we just offered it to you.

Like, so at this point, they've kind of given up. They said there's zero trust. We can't figure out what the hell America even wants. It's, I mean, I just, it's so embarrassing. And look, on top of that, you know, our alliances are falling apart, our global trade alliances, which are incredibly important. We don't manufacture much here in the United States, they're falling apart. In fact, I was reading about Saudi Arabia specifically and how they're like, hmm, maybe

after this war we make deals with Iran. Yeah, of course. Of course, and bricks. Please make it stop and make it stop. Later in the show, we're gonna show you some clips of me on Sean Ryan's show. One of the things that Sean said he was most concerned about is they're gonna go to bricks instead of us. The petro dollar, destroyed.

Dollar is gonna be gone. Dollar is the reserve currency of the world is gonna be gone. And then our economy is going to be devastated. And we're inches away from that because everybody's like, America is an unstable, clownish country now. It's like Lenny from mice and men. Oh, oh, we like rabbit. We're for a rabbit and freedom. Oh, no.

Totally. Totally. That is such a great analogy. You're absolutely right. And look, does Trump care at all about his low approval rating? I don't know. Why don't we hear from the horse's mouth? Let's go to the last video.

They give me fake polls. They tell me about polls and this. You know, it's interest. They did a poll on the war with Iran. And they said only 32% of the people like it. Well, I don't like it and I don't like war at all, but we're equipped better than it. We have the greatest military in the world. You saw what happened with Venezuela.

You see what happens with everything. But they said 32% of the people are against President Trump. Well, when you explain it, like, is it okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon? It wouldn't be 32%. But even if you said that, there'd be a 32% because the polls are fake. They're totally fake. They're not totally fake. And to answer his question, yes.

Yes, I wish Pakistan would just give Iran a nuke so we can end this. Not because I think Iran is going to use the nuke, because it'll end the BS cover story about how like, oh, we're so worried about Iran's nuclear capabilities in the future that don't exist at all. Yeah, I mean, look, everything's a lie. So they always, and racism is baked into it. Hear me out on why. Because they say, well, if Iran ever gets a nuke, they'll launch it immediately.

And they were willing to have everyone in Iran die from the counterstrike because they're all religious zealot savages, right? That's not remotely true. No, Pakistan has nukes. All these different countries have nukes and nobody uses them because they're not lunatics. But they make it seem like, oh, if they're Muslim, they're all lunatics. And they would immediately use the bomb. And they don't care about getting 90 million of their own people killed, right? None of that is true.

By the way, the UAE got hit in this last barrage of the last couple of days. Iran is saying, Iran is brags about who they hit and how they hit them all the time, right? They make Lego videos about how they hit you. They're like, we didn't fire anything into UAE. Gee, I wonder who did it. Yeah, oh, but mainstream press, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, it might be anti-Semitic to say that- It was Israel. Yeah, it's almost certainly.

All right, and by the way, early on in the fight, Iran's like, we hit the Gulf countries, we hit this, we hit that, and they're like, the bombs to Turkey and Cyprus, that wasn't us at all. No, I don't believe for a second that was Iran. But again, our press is like, Iran said that, but they're liars, Israel's telling the truth. Israel's the greatest country in the world. Anyway, last thing, so on the polls, 76% of Americans have a disapproval of Trump on rising prices. Guys, 76% disapproval on the economy is good night, Irene.

I'm never like, I'm not sure I've ever seen a number that bad. So he can complain about the polls all day long, but there's a poll coming up in November. It's called the election, okay? And then we're gonna see what really happens. 66% of Americans disapprove of how he's handled a war and 59% of Americans disapprove of how he's handled immigration. When he first started, that was his big win, closed the border, brag about it. Now six out of 10 Americans go, no, he's a total loser in every category, including immigration,

we can't stand this guy. And especially on the prices, they're furious as they should be. Gas has gone up 50%. He can lie about it day in and day out, but when we go to get our gas, we see with our own eyes that it's gone up 50% and we're super mad about it. 42% of Americans have started driving less. 30% of Americans taking less vacations. And that list goes on and on and on.

And every day this buffoon comes in, into their living room and lies to them and says, no, prices are lower, and you guys love me. And now we're getting to a point where we're a little sick of hearing that. And it's going from annoyance, disapproval to anger. And so if he keeps going in this direction, none of this is going to end well for anyone. All right, when we come back from the break, I think it's due time to talk about the latest out of Lebanon. So stick around. We'll give you those details when we return. Obrador.

Hey guys, so that graphic is related to this. I'm going to be in London at the beginning of next month on June 2nd. And so we're doing a giveaway for some tickets there for South by Southwest London. So if you want that, t.yt.com slash London. Everybody watching this is a member. So you guys get that special advantage. ty t.com slash London okay. Love to see you guys there.

All right. Now let's go to comments on YouTube member section. Sidlife 365 says Trump sounds like he's being directed by Netanyahu. Well, there's a very good reason why he sounds that way because he is. Stoner Wolf says the arrogance of this administration is pathetic. Yeah, that's also very true. Let's go to Superchat. Mohit Bakke says lefties think Tucker equals Massey.

No one's angry at Roe for working with Massey, and Roe isn't for Massey's economic agenda. Stop the infighting about Tucker and Israel and Iran, collaborate on agreements, then argue on the 90% of other issues. Mohit, that's the most obvious thing in the world, but some people say no, no, we will reject allies. It's not like it's a big deal. It's just war and genocide and the destruction of our economy and the control of our government by another country. Since that's not that important, I'm going to choose to focus on other issues and division and Okay, that's an interesting choice. Pakistani American Huck Sentinel says Virginia gas is reaching $5.

With this rate I'll need a horse wagon. Marjorie Space Lasers theory was wrong at that time. But with these prices, I'd welcome a beam to toast my bagel. And he says, oh, all right, back on TYT, Chen Canana with you guys. More news. Well, the devastation in the Middle East isn't just happening against the Iranians, as we know. The Israelis have decided to invade Lebanon and attempt to annex the southern portion of it. And I want to give you some updates on that.

We were completely destroyed in the airstrike and the building next door was also too far from here. And in that artillery shelling attack, two Lebanese army soldiers were wounded and brought to the hospital off. But it's okay when war crimes are committed by Israel, there are no consequences. And the UN security council due to veto power afforded to its members is able to accomplish absolutely nothing. But nonetheless, that was journalist Courtney Bonneau reporting from Deere Canoon in southern Lebanon, where Israel continues to carry out what they refer to as the Gaza method. And if you're wondering what that is, just take a look at Gaza, completely leveled.

That's what they're planning on doing and have been doing in southern Lebanon. That method includes displacing millions of civilians, leveling their homes, and stealing their land. Jank, your two cents. Yeah, so what we're gonna show you here is some shocking acts of terrorism. Big Brother with drones. Please watch it because it's important for you to know what's actually happening on the ground, but perhaps most importantly, the second part is about how they're planning to bring it here to America. All right, Anna, go ahead.

So as the New York Times, a Zionist rag, shockingly reported the other day, and I said, say shocking because typically they try to provide cover for this type of behavior. They usually don't want to draw attention to it. But in this case, they did some good reporting. Israel has raised border villages as part of an effort to lay the groundwork for a larger occupation. They're just going to steal the land. Okay, the approach Israel's defense minister, Israel Katz said, was modeled on tactics the military used in Gaza, genocide. It's just called genocide. They could just say that, but of course they won't. Instead, they describe it as where the Israeli military reduced entire neighborhoods, buildings, and streets to rubble as part of their genocidal operations in Gaza that they're now, you know, utilizing in southern Lebanon.

Israel has announced that they do plan to occupy Lebanese land seven miles into Lebanon's territory. And there have been some evacuation notices for, you know, Lebanese villages north of the Latani River. So I think they're going to go beyond southern Lebanon. I want to be very clear about that, just based on the evacuations that they've already announced. Go ahead, Jake. Yeah, so I want you to understand there's three possibilities. There's a seven-mile so-called buffer that includes extension into Lebanese water where there's conveniently a Lebanese gas field. And Israel would then steal that gas field that's worth at least $40 billion.

So this is a lot about theft. But then there's a second number, which is all the way to the Latani River, which is much longer than seven miles. And now Israel is talking about, you know what? I don't know why we settled at just the Latani River. Why don't we go north of the Latani River? Because it doesn't look like anyone in the world is going to stop us from taking more and more land. The greater Israel project indicate, I believe that's what Israel is pursuing. It indicates

that they take the entirety of Lebanon. Well, eventually, of course. And in fact, Basel, Smostridge, yeah. Yeah, Smotrich is on tape talking about, oh, we're going to just do it one at a time, right? And we're going to slowly take all of that land because it belongs to us. God gave it to us. And so he really believes that he's a religious fundamentalist. And so does most of the Israeli cabinet. And they believe that non-Israelis are cattle. So it's not a big deal to murder them and take their land.

In fact, God wants you to murder them and take their land. Look at Jenk being anti-Semitic again by simply repeating what Israeli officials are saying. Anyway, so widespread demolitions have flattened expanses of at least two dozen towns and villages, according to the New York Times. Look at that reporting the truth. Nice, okay. Now with damage to government offices, as well as civilian infrastructure, including schools, hospitals and mosques. War crimes, upon war crimes, upon war crimes, but who cares? Not a big deal. The US should pay for it, and we have been paying for it. This is what we have blood on our hands over, giving Israel all,

everything they could possibly want to carry out these atrocities and these war crimes. So I want to show you examples of villages that have been destroyed. So let's take a look at graphic three here. So at the top you see what these specific villages look like on March 5th before they were bombed to smithereens by the Israelis, leveled by the Israelis. The bottom three show the same villages after they've been leveled. There's other examples. Let's take a look at the next one.

So here are six other villages and what they looked like on March 5th. Let's go to the next graphic. That's what they look like after all the bombing took place following March 2nd. The IDF's March 2nd invasion into southern Lebanon. So they're just destroying entire villages. And let me ask you guys something. Whether you're talking about Gaza or southern Lebanon, is anyone really going to try to make the argument that Israel is targeting Hezbollah and Hamas. So you're just telling me that

Hamas was in every single building in Gaza and so they had to level God. Like the country that supposedly has the best intelligence in the world. I mean, Mossad is even better than the CIA with their intelligence gathering. They're unable to do targeted strikes against the people that they're allegedly going after. Please, please. The thing that really gets to me, number one, of course, is genocide and slaughter of innocent people and land theft. But number two is the fact that they continue to insult our intelligence. Yeah. So, and they have their partner here in Nash in US media. I thought this New York Times piece was actually not that bad.

No, it was great. It was actually a great piece. I'm just very salty with the New York Times, especially after Lulu Garcia Navarro admitted that she was the former Israel-Palestine Corridor. Palestine correspondent and then proceeded to excoriate Tucker Carlson for asking questions about Israel's intentions. Yeah, so in this piece they at least showed the wide scale destruction. They talked about how they're reducing entire neighborhoods to rubble, as you quoted, and

that they're gonna do a larger occupation. Now that, but still they never crossed the threshold, right? Only dirty Arabs and Muslims are terrorists. When Israel does war crimes and genocide and targets civilians on purpose, they're not never ever called terrorists that you would be fired instantly from the New York Times. If you accurately use the word terrorist in a balanced way for both sides. That's a fireable offense you can't ever use naughty language with the Israelis. You have to only use it for dirty Muslims.

You can call anything you want because New York Times editors and publishers hate Muslims and think that it's okay to murder them. So, and they've shown that through decades of coverage and through smearing them so that Israel makes it easier for Israel to murder them and for America to finance their murder. Yeah, yeah, let me just be very clear about something, okay? Our corporate media is going to provide cover for Israel and Israel firsters within our own borders, no matter what, no matter who the victims are. So we have a sitting member of the United States Congress going on an interview and saying out loud, we don't want our members.

Armenians serving in Congress. That was Representative Randy Fine, who happens to have an Armenian running against him for the Florida seat that he's currently occupying. Where's the New York Times? Armenians are Christians, overwhelmingly. Who cares? Who cares if they're Christians? Who cares if they're Muslims?

Are they Israelis? Are they pro-Israel Jews? If they're not, then they're irrelevant. Guys, this is inarguable. They censured Ilhan Omar because she said about lobbyists. It's all about the Benjamin. And it is all about the Benjamin. And she's 100% correct about that.

And so that is like the most inoffensive thing I've ever heard for lobbyists. It's obviously about the money. And they're like, yeah, but Benjamin Nanyahu, but at Israel, but to shut the F up. You're never allowed to criticize Israeli lobbies. Now meanwhile, Randy Fine said we should murder every single person in Gaza, no censure. Okay? He said we should nuke them and we should starve them to death. I mean, that's a Nazi-like statement.

Starved 2 million people to death. Right. No censure, no talk of censure. No one in media asked for a censure. Now he says, Armenian Christians should not be allowed to run for office. Why? No censure, no talk of censure, no talk of, hey, if you talk to Iran, fine, then you should be canceled. No one is allowed to talk to or anyone, none of that.

So it is indisputable that American media are sellouts who work for Israel and try to bully Americans into compliance with a foreign government while pretending to be armed. our media. Exactly. So the point is, Israel reigns supreme, and it doesn't matter what your religion is. If you are not adequately supportive of Israel, you're the problem, you're the enemy, according to our corporate media. Now going back to what's going down in Lebanon, it's important to understand the damage that Israel had already done to Lebanon previously was so severe that Lebanon didn't even have an opportunity

to recover. So for instance, many towns were already devastated during the- Israel has below war in 2024. More than 10,000 structures, including homes, mosques, and parks were damaged or destroyed in at least 26 municipalities. And that's according to Amnesty International. They're obvious terrorists. There's no dispute about it.

So, but under penalty of law, we can't find a single mainstream media reporter or cable anchor to say they're obviously terrorists. Does the word terrorists have any meaning? No, no, no, no, everybody bow your head to Israel. Go ahead. LA Times story is super important. Yes, we're gonna get to that. Give me a second.

So just to give you an update on the death toll, and this is the death toll based on the hostility, the war that started on March 2nd, okay? So since March 2nd, at least 2,702 people have been killed and 8,311 people wounded in Lebanon during the current war, according to the health ministry in Beirut. And the attacks continue. 17 Israeli soldiers have been killed in that same time frame. And the New York Times is confirming, and I want to just say it again, that Israel has killed journalists and medical workers in Lebanon, just as they did in Gaza, destroyed civilian

infrastructure, including bridges and gas stations, and displaced more than a million people. And in regard to the finance minister of Israel, Basile Smotrich, in a recent He was talking about his son who apparently was in southern Lebanon with the IDF. He was severely injured and apparently he's in the hospital recovering, but this is what Smotridge said of his son. My son keeps asking me not to finish the work and leave him more to do, meaning in southern Lebanon, devastate southern Lebanon further. I tell him, don't worry, there will be enough for everyone. These people are sick.

They're sick. So the terrorists can't wait to get back into the battle, so-called battlefield where they just murder innocent civilians and call it a battle. And then they cry about their 17 soldiers killed while invading Lebanon. They're not civilians, they're soldiers who came to murder the civilians and destroy their homes. And then they take themselves robbing all the homes before they destroyed them. And we're supposed to have sympathy for the terrorists?

No, I have no sympathy for Israeli terrorists. When we come back from the break, we're gonna get into how AI is being tested and utilized in Lebanon as we speak. We'll talk about how inaccurate it tends to be and how innocent people keep getting killed, but oh well, Israel's doing it, so it's totally fine. We'll be right back.

Yeah, the average American is going to save between $500 and $1,000 a year on doable. Yeah, no. You know what I'm going to do, Andrew? Are you ready to become a Noble member? The two buttons are do it and go back. There's no going back, we're doing it.

We're doing it. Here we go, Noble Mobile. Oh my gosh, I just called you and are you now on Noble and not Verizon? Why didn't you tell me it was gonna be super easy? I know, man. Now you just stay away from your phone and watch the money roll in. I can do that. You can go phone, yeah.

What the f***? What the f! What the f- Jake, you still there? Andrew? Oh, well, at least I got Noble Mo. It was really just one take. The whole thing is wild.

It's in my shoes. This is Brett Ehrlich with Breaking News with Brett Ehrlich. This is Breaking News with Brett Ehrlich. Hi. Brett Ehrlich here. According to EPA head Scott Pruitt, climate change is not happening. He cited a meme on Facebook you saw. When pressed to back up this source, he said it must be accurate

because the watermark said it was made by a scientist. So your move, truth. At TYT, our mission is to boldly pursue truth, challenge the establishment, and drive positive change. At a time when corporate capture of our media, our government, and our politics is nearly absolute. Everyday working people need a champion to fight for them and a pushback against the powerful interests

that threaten our democracy itself. At TYT, we're proudly privileged. and call out corruption and duplicity wherever we see it from Republicans, Democrats, or anyone else. And unlike mainstream news media outlets, we're not beholden to corporate advertisers to defense contractors, to Wall Street, or to Big Pharma. We only have to answer to our audience, and for nearly two decades, we've accomplished that by delivering honest, timely, and insightful perspectives on the day's news without fear or favor or concern for whose toes we might step on, powerful elites we might offend. And while we're super serious about the news, we also manage to do it in a way that is fun and lighthearted. We can do this together and serve our audience,

and yes, have fun doing it. Much needed. DeLOTE! TYT! TYT! The place is like 95% TYT are. The people who support us on the internet, that's what gives us strength. That's what allows anyone who is in there who was undecided to think. One side seems to be winning. They seem to have a bigger army. It might be a reason for that. So thank you guys.

I love Mexican people. Back on TYT, Jankanana with you guys. Bart, thank you for reminding me. Happy Cinco do Mayo, everyone. The Revenge of the Fifth. Is that what we call Mayf these days? I know. So Anthony Comats, thank you for sending you 50 memberships on YouTube.

You're awesome, brother. Way to look out for everyone else. All right, Anna. All right. So the IDF is using our stuff. The IDF is using artificial intelligence to carry out its rampage in Lebanon. Jake, your two cents. Yeah, so it's harrowing in this level of terrorism and Big Brother that Israel and Palantir

invented. But the most harrowing part is that they're planning to bring it here to America. So hear the story. So the most important takeaway here is to understand that AI is being utilized to carry out strikes that oftentimes end up killing civilians. because the technology isn't perfect, it makes mistakes, and despite its mistakes, the IDF keeps using it. So for the AI system to work, the Israelis need data.

So in order to get that data, the IDF siphons it from the smartphones of Lebanese citizens, security cameras, traffic cameras, Wi-Fi signals, drones, and government databases along with social media. So this so called intelligence gathering has been taking place for years. The IDF utilizes that data for an algorithm to create a threat profile of people currently living in Lebanon. In other words, whether or not a person, in the case of Israel, determining whether or not an individual is a member of Hezbollah, which is their whole cover story for being in southern

Lebanon to begin with. So Palantir's Maven then provides at least part of the technology that helps the IDF sift through all of this data that they've collected to then turn it into a threat profile. So be very clear about this. Palantir has been profiting off of these atrocities, has been profiting off of war. This is what they love, this is what they do. Now the algorithm picks up on people's proximity to villages that largely support Hezbollah, which despite what you might have heard about Hezbollah here in US media is a legitimate

established political group and party in southern Lebanon. They have a stronghold in southern Lebanon. The algorithm also picks up on people's day-to-day routines and how it changes over time, as well as whether or not people have known family members in Hezbollah. But they're often wrong because AI is not perfect. It makes mistakes. In fact, one AI specialist told the which reported this story that these systems use data, not logic, to determine if someone is dangerous and if that information is flawed, then it would keep repeating the same mistakes but faster and with more confidence, you know, based on the flawed data.

And that it creates this illusion of certainty and that's dangerous because it turns correlation into action, meaning strikes, bombings, things like that, without having the necessary context. And these types of technologies tend to make their way here, make their way here to the United States where they're often utilized by local law enforcement. And that's something you should be concerned about, Jank. Yeah, so guys, there was a couple of the parts of this story that are just shocking to the core. So first off, this guy that they tracked said there was basically a drone flying above him at almost all times. So they tracked his face, et cetera. And they know what his story is.

And his story is actually that he's a little bit older now, this particular guy that LA Times tracked in this story. And so he's retired and he helps people with their destroyed homes and buildings. And he helps clear that out. But the AI algorithm has said, well, it doesn't matter. He has some connection to Hezbollah. And so if he has any connection to Hezbollah according to our algorithm, he should be murdered. Okay, and so this is how the AI program is picking out targets.

And then at the end, they, he gets a call from the Israelis in broken Arabic and they ask him, would you like to die alone or with your entire family? And so he says alone and hangs up and starts walking out of the house. And his wife is trying to stop him, his family is trying to stop him. But he knows if he doesn't get out of the house, the Israeli terrorists are going to murder his entire family. Or that's at least what he suspects. So he gets in his car, starts driving, and within 30 seconds, boom, a bomb murders. He was right.

If he had stayed in the house, the Israelis would have killed his children, his wife, and everyone else in the house. They have a program also related to this same type of AI that they used in Gaza called Where's Daddy? And so the same type of AI to track, well, we think it came from that cell phone tower. We think it came from a related cell phone. And that person is connected to someone else who might be connected to Hamas, good enough. Because Israel is looking to kill as many people as possible. They just need the smallest thread connecting them to Hamas or Hezbollah. Six degrees of Hamas is what they played in Gaza.

And now they're doing that in Lebanon with Hezbollah. So they wait for that person that AI is selected to come home in Gaza, and then they kill his entire family. They could have killed him earlier, but it's called where's daddy because they want that person to go home and murder his children along with him. Yeah, most moral army, right? Yeah, so if you know those, if you don't know those things, I get it. And mainstream media normally does an enormous, excellent job, an overwhelming job of keeping those facts from you, because they wouldn't want you to, you know, turn against their beloved Israel who they serve loyally. Now in this case, LA Times terrific story.

And so I appreciate it. Whenever anybody in corporate media does a good job, we give them credit. So thank you for bringing us this story. And of course, one of the most troubling parts is that's Palantir. Larry Ellison has bragged about how they're gonna bring that kind of surveillance here. So, and they tell us, no, because of our AI systems, our algorithms will find anyone who is doing something that the Israeli government thinks is wrong, and then God help you. And what's concerning is that we have a government that has no interest in representing our best interest at all,

whether it has to do with foreign policy or domestic policy, things like regulation when it comes to emerging technological advancements like AI. And in this next clip, you're going to hear Joe Lonsdale, who loves AI, is involved in the development of AI. Doesn't want regulations though and gives you a sense of why our government behaves the way it does. Let's take a look. We're all trying to figure out what this could look like. Is there ultimately going to be an FDA for AI models? And as a, you know, is that a good thing or a bad thing for somebody who's thinking the way you do? I listen, the FDA has killed millions of people.

Let's be totally clear, right? So it's, it's killed, killed. It has literally led to the deaths to millions of people. You know, there probably should be some national agreement on regulation on new powerful models. It should be as small and as narrow as possible. You should not have the same bureaucracy. You should make sure the government from the start has metrics on a speed at which it has to go and the transparency. Because you're going to have cronious.

You're going to have the big guys capture it. You're going to slow it down. Farma loves the FDA against biotech. It makes it too expensive for us to build our own pharma companies. We have to sell to them. This is what the big guys want. Oh wow, the co-founder of Palantir wants as little regulation as possible when it comes to systems that are currently being utilized in foreign countries to target and kill people,

oftentimes civilians and their entire families, great. So guys, you know, we could say don't tread on me and we could have our AK-47 in the woods and stuff, but once they track you, it's over, they're just gonna kill you with a drone. So the surveillance state is definitely coming here. Like, will they start murdering people in the streets? Certainly not in day one or year one, but will they start tracking all of us and start making lists? And dubious lists, because it's not they. They say in the LA Times article, in the past, this would have taken thousands of man hours and research,

and they would have bothered to try to get it right. Now they don't really care too much if it's right or wrong, and it's done in seconds. So this level of Big Brother is definitely headed in our direction. And guess who's paying all of our politicians? Not just Israel. All the lobbies do, including Palantir, including AI, including the tech bros. And our politicians are the scum of the earth. They're the least moral people in the country.

They will sell you out in a flat second for money from a donor, any donor. So we're all screwed unless we change this system immediately. You've got to get the money out. If you don't get money out of politics, then these guys are just going to buy all of our corrupt politicians and we're gonna live under this surveillance, terroristic surveillance state very soon. Well, stick around because you're about to get a mega block where Jank and Sean Ryan talk about money and politics.

We'll be right back. All right, let's go to members on t.com. Mungoose dragon says, Alex Corp and Larry Lessen are going to make us behave. Well, that's what they want. Yeah, be good little boys and girls, shut up, give me your money and I'm going to give it to Israel, otherwise big brother is coming for you. Nerd Ferguson says gas has gone up by 50%, but our drug prices have dropped by 800, 900, 500, 700, 700%, of course he's joking there, referring to insane, ludicrous,

nonsensical things that Trump says. Iowa gal says, I have to agree with Anna. Ted Cruz is just disgusting, he makes my skin crawl too. That's kind of universal. That's the one thing all Americans agree on. The fact that he keeps winning elections in Texas, dude, Texas do better, okay? Wang Jun said sounds like anti-German sentiment, sorry, anti-Semitism. If the New York Times was as loyal to Germany as they are to Israel today, they would have

definitely said that saying the Germans were killing people in concentration camps was a trope. Oh yeah, you're calling the Germans barbarians like the Romans did. It's an old trope of the poor, poor Germans. You shouldn't criticize what the Germans are doing. You should criticize the people who've offended the German for. feelings. If they were as loyal as they are to Israel, now they definitely would have said that they definitely would have protected the Holocaust and they would have said don't care

about the victims, you should only care about the Germans and they're very, very sensitive feelings. Boomer dragon cat says, Musad must be exceptional to have held something over the heads of every last president for 40 years. My original question of why has no answer, why do we bow to Israel? No, you cat. All right, back on TYT, TYT. I'm gonna with you guys. Big Stan, thank you for giving a membership. I was just reading comment during the break from one of our members on our website, t.t.com. And Kat, yeah, no, I believe that Israel has had blackmail over almost all of our presidents in the last 40 years. And that's certainly a fair question to ask, unless you're a reporter in this country in which

is, don't ask any questions. That's a conspiracy theory. Shut up, you better not say anything about Israel. Okay, so that's our press. Pathetic dogs. of a foreign government. Anna, back to you. All right, let's get to our next story. We'll get to the hope. I hope you have some hope. Yes, yeah. The most challenging thing is, in my opinion, is just getting to people to come together on any issue, which was what we've been talking about. So the Patriots on the left and the Patriots on the right have to unite.

Fri- political spectrum. Politics as usual. Let's win on these massive issues, these major issues, so we regain our freedom. Visit BetMGM Casino and check out the newest exclusive. The Price is Right Fortune Pick. BetMDM and GameSense remind you to play responsibly. 19 plus to wager. Ontario only.

However, they had a lengthy discussion about how the left and the right can unite to change

our political system because it's not representing any of us. Jank, your two cents. So Sean had a powerful analogy in that interview. He talked about how our house is on fire and we can't really talk about anything else until we put out the fire. I couldn't agree more with that. If you say that we should not unite to get money out of politics, that is a very curious position. So let's dive into the interview and see what we find.

Well, I mean, look, with any long-form conversation, Jank is definitely gonna talk about money in politics. And you're gonna get a lot of that in this discussion with Sean Ryan. Here's a little taste. Every time mainstream media, when they do that unity, they celebrate, oh, bipartisan unity, right? And what do they split you on? Things that you actually agree on. So an example I use is paid family leave. So mom's getting 12 weeks off after they have a baby. Well, 84% where's the question? We can't get it passed. Why can't we get it past? Because they're all full of

they all work for their donors. Most of the donors are corporate, but now as we know famously, there's one foreign government that is in the last cycle the biggest donor of all, and that's Israel. And so when you lose your sovereignty to a corporation, that's already a big problem. But when you lose it to a foreign government, that's a problem that I cannot accept. Yeah, it definitely seems like we are now a proxy. Yeah. The United States seems like it is now a proxy. And that to me is terrifying.

Yeah, you know, it's interesting because we knew that. our government was occupied by moneyed interests. But once you realize just how much sway a foreign country has over your government, to the point where your government will work against the American people at the behest of that foreign government, you got to do what it takes to change that system. And so, oh, no, you're talking to a right winger, who cares? We live under the same government, under the same political system, and it needs to change. It's not serving anybody.

Look guys, I'm super encouraged by development here, both on Sean's show and on Tucker Carlson show when I talk to him. And almost every show I go on now, we're not leaving it just Israel. It's because Israel is not the original problem. Israel is a consequence of the original problem. The original problem is money in politics. Once you allow for bribery, everyone will bribe your politicians. So, and now when I talk about that, that's what I refer to as the Great Awakening.

And people are beginning to go, oh, right, wait, why can't we negotiate drug prices? That's super weird, right? That's certainly not a free market, that doesn't make any sense at all. So the reason we need the Great Awakening and all of us noticing what's happening here is because almost all of national media works to make sure that you don't notice and that you stay asleep. So they never talk about the donor class and their effect on all of this legislation. And yes, including Israel.

And the reason why Israel wakes us up clearer is because it's inexcusable to have a foreign government in charge of our government. And everyone knows that. And they can't lie their way out of it. They can't, we can now all see it. So their lies become even more glaring. And then you begin to realize, oh, they're also lying about big pharma and big oil and the defense contractors and how all of our politicians are not at all honest.

They're the most immoral people in the country. And they sell us out to any donor that walks by. What I thought was interesting in regard to the reaction or response to your appearance on Sean Ryan's podcast is that a few days prior to him dropping the entire episode, he promoted it with a short clip. And the people attacking you, I mean, I'm sure there were people on the left attacking you. I didn't see much of it to be fair. Most of the attacks though came from neo-conservatives, the neocons.

And they were livid that Sean Ryan would have you on his podcast because nothing scares the neocons more, nothing angers them, nothing makes them quaking their boots, more than the left and the right coming together and acknowledging what the real problem is, that the corruption in our political system needs to stop, that the control that a foreign country has over our government needs to end. Yeah, so look guys, it's interesting because if you're on the left, certainly if you're a progressive, money in politics has been the number one issue, we all recognize the number one issue.

We should be proud that we're the sign that has been emphasizing that for decades, right? Now these guys, they're not faking it. When they disagree with us, they're not unclear about it, they're super clear about it, right? So they're saying you guys are right, money in politics is the cancer. We've got to end, it turns out that's the corruption, that's the swamp. Yes, that's what we've been waiting for all this time. So what's interesting is that on the right, the Trump loyalists go, no way, no, no, no, no, no. I think you thought you guys wanted to drain the swamp.

They're not even Trump loyalists. Right now the Maga base consists of the neocons, many of whom were never Trumpers earlier. Yeah, it's a mix because there's Trump loyalists who watch Fox News who are older. So it's a combination of the neocons. On the left, the people opposing unity are also, you know, uniparty, establishment, Democrats, et cetera, but also some on the, I don't know what part of the political spectrum they're on anymore that are saying, no, I'm so partisan, I don't even want to get money out of politics if it means I have to lower myself to talk to Sean Ryan, Tucker Carlson,

et cetera. And I think that's deeply selfish, and I think that that misses the point. you can't get money out of politics without an amendment and an amendment needs 34 states. So we literally cannot do it without the right wing and the left wing joining forces. If you're opposed to that, you're saying let's stay in corruption forever. Right, I mean look, I think that there are people who are doing okay, even in a corrupt political system. They might be affluent, they might come from money, whatever it is.

And so politics for them, and I'm not saying this is the case for everyone who's affluent, Please don't misinterpret what I'm saying. But for those who think, no, no, no, my personal political branding and purity is more important than actually accomplishing what we need to get accomplished to fix our system. The reason why they take it that way is because the political system's been working out okay for them. Okay, they're not- They don't need a lot of change. Yeah, exactly. They don't want a constitutional amendment or a constitutional convention.

And so, you know, and sorry, you need 34 states to propose. You need 38 states that ratify it. You can't possibly get there on just Democrats or just Republicans. Exactly. So if you're not for unifying on money in politics, you're literally saying I'm totally fine with this broken system. So let's talk about how that broken system has been able to continue. When you have a divided electorate, when the American people have bought into the toxicity that's thrown at us again and again by our politicians and the media that provides cover for You get manufactured culture wars, you get division.

We're too busy fighting each other to look up. Take a look. Wait a minute. So everyone on the right wing has to agree to 100% of this agenda, and everyone on the left wing has to agree to 100% of this agenda. Well, which robot would agree with 100% of any agenda? No, we're all human beings. We have different opinions, right?

So isn't it like 44% as a silent majority? Yeah, and now independence are larger than both Republicans and the Democrats. So when they try to get you to follow any ideology 100%, you know it's a trap. You know that it's a thing that's meant to get you to fight the other side and to divide the country. Because once the country is divided among Republicans and Democrats, but the donors are funding both, it's perfect. The guys with all the money, the donor class, that's who's rigging the rules. that's who's got the power and they love dividing us. So don't fall into the trap.

Make sure that on the key issues, war, foreign governments, corruption, we stay united as a country and we protect that flag. You just said it that the independent voting block, the silent majority out numbers the Democrats and the Republicans. I mean, right there, the answer lies within that. There's the data. That's what we need. That's how we do it. So just to put actual numbers behind that, a January Gallup poll found that 45%, a new high of 45% in the U.S. identify as political independence.

Yeah, and notice, by the way, that you almost never hear about them in the press. Isn't that weird? Like, that they're larger than the Republicans and Democrats. I hear about the Republicans and Democrats nonstop. Nonstop. What a Republican voters thing? What a Democratic voters think? Like, independence are a ghost because if you began to realize that most of the country at this

point is independence, then it makes it harder for everyone to fight. That's a really great point. Right? So they've got to get them to fight and if they people realize, hey wait, a lot of us are in the middle and we believe in some of this and some of that. So that the point I was making about 100%. But on the other hand, if you get people to believe that you have to believe in this, you believe in this ideology without any, you know, deviation or this ideology, well, that's so rigid,

you can't ever come to a compromise. Exactly. You're forced to fight. That's exactly right. And independence are breaking that myth, and that's why mainstream media hates them. So Sean Ryan had some interesting things to say about, you know, what actually does unite the American people? And he noticed something that I think you and I noticed a long time ago.

And I think it's the one silver lining in the health scape that we exist in. So let's take a look at what Sean had to say and we'll discuss it. I think more people are becoming politically homeless. And I think we're all kind of seeing that. And I think the biggest thing on the 2028 ticket will be Israel. But it's something that a lot of people are uniting on. APEC, their influence, the Iran war, Gaza. now Turkey, Lebanon. If we want any change at all, we're going to have to come together because

we can bat back and forth like abortion and trans issues and taxes. I mean, those are those issues are just going to be batted back and forth until the end of time. Yeah, abortion's illegal, abortions legal, abortions legal, whatever. It's just, it's never going to end. And they use that to divide us, you know, the race or I think more people are starting to look past that. I think the race guard was overplayed a lot, in my opinion. And I think a lot of people are seeing that and realize maybe it wasn't as bad as everybody made it out to be. And I think that's happening with a lot of issues. And that's, that is giving me hope. Hey, we were fired to. This is over-embellished, or some things weren't embellished enough. And people are coming together.

And everybody's looking like, not everybody, but a lot of people are looking for the next the real solution. You know, Jane, so the full episode dropped yesterday, and I hadn't watched it until last night. And that part with Sean reminded me of something I said on The T, which is a podcast out of the UK. And so I just want to quickly show that part of it and then we'll discuss it because I think he's on point. Take a look.

Identitarianism and the differences in race, the differences in gender, the differences, and all of these things that are immutable and we can't change. And honestly, the way that it was talked about pit everyone against each other. So you don't have a coalition even on the left. You have people who are obsessed with their own personal identity more than anything else. So yes, racism does exist. That does need to be at the intersection of the class battle. Anyone who denies that is just living in a fantasy world. However, when you, and this has been a really big problem, when you uplift or you prioritize how different and fractured we are from one another, when your politics becomes about not class war,

but your own personal grievances, all you're going to do is cause fights, and that's what you see on the left constantly. Everyone's fighting each other. Broken coalitions, fracturing, and basically where we're at today, which is nowhere. We have Trump, a complete buffoon, elected for the second time, destroying not just our country, but the globe as we speak. So it's not to say that, oh, these issues of hatred, bigotry don't exist. They do exist. The question is, do you allow these debates about our personal identity to fracture coalitions and be like front and center of every discussion that you have? Because I think that that framing,

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. Okay, I have my own theories, but I won't get into that. I mean, think about 2020, 2020 through 2020, the left was constantly fighting each other. Coalitions were constantly being broken and fractured over identity or identitarian issues. You get what I'm saying? Yeah. No, it's, I hate it. And I don't hate it just from the left or the right.

So like, so if the left overfocus on it, I think to a point of division, I think, to a point of division, I'm worried that they do, but does the right over focus on it? Of course they do, right? So we're not saying just to one side or the other, we're saying to both sides. And the right wing, if you're worried about left wing's identity politics, well brother, then you can't do your own identity politics. Exactly, exactly. Okay, so now, but the good news is the Sean Ryan's and the Tucker Carlson's of the world

are basically saying truce, yes, okay? Now you can say I don't believe him, whatever you could do, have all your skepticism. But they're telling their millions of followers truce, let's not go and get into that crap. And then sometimes people say, wow, you have the privilege of being able to say that because you're not this or that. Whether I come from a Muslim background, right? And so there's been nothing but massive anti-Muslim propaganda and hatred my entire lifetime growing up.

And so would I work with someone who was anti-Muslim to get money out of politics? Of course I would. First of all, as a person who grew up Muslim, you don't have a choice anyway. If you were gonna find coalitions of only people who didn't hate Muslims, your coalition have been 13 people in some years, right? So like I feel like some people have privilege that they're so unused to criticism, right? And unused to having to get past those obstacles that they feel like, well, you've hurt my feeling slightly. So that's it, I'm out. No, no, no, no, no, we don't have that luxury.

Yeah. Let's go make deals on the most important things and put out the fire in our house. I totally agree. All right, when we come back from the break, we'll talk a little bit about this explosive report regarding the mistreatment and abuse of people being held in these ice facilities. And wait till you hear what Sean Ryan had to say about the fatal shooting of Renee Good. Honestly, I was surprised by it. We'll be right back. All right. Back. t.yot.com members, eclectic rights in, lips to the left of me, maggot to the right. here I am stuck in the middle with 45% of you. It's a good one. Chef Tofer says after watching the Noble mobile commercial featuring Jenk a few times,

I would like to give a shout out to how far his acting abilities have come since his role as sleazy hotel clerk in the movie Hopeless. Hoosah, Mr. Uger. Thank you. I appreciate it. Anna and I were both in that Andrew Napier production. Sudo Dragon says the media didn't know about the Holocaust in World War II. or at least not to scale and depravity of it, this is so much worse. Well, that's a great point.

Back then, it was really hard to get the information. Here, the media looks at it and goes, oh yeah, they've murdered 23,000 kids on tape. I saw it, I don't care about that at all. In fact, if I report on it, some people will be offended. The genociders will be offended, so I won't report on it. All right, Jenks left tricep Fury says, When will the one third of the country that still support this buffoon get sick of the show and go somewhere else to be entertained? Well, close, he's got almost no one left. Let's go to

Twitch, Texas Socialist says, my favorite thing Mom Dani ever said in the interview was that if you agree with him 100%, that's not a good thing, that's a cult. You're here, brother. Gal for 71 says, tomorrow is Revenge of the Fifth Jank. After all the good Mexican food and beer, your body will take revenge on you tomorrow. L.O.L. That's funny. I had not. That microgram says they've been using Gaza as a live weapons testing range. So it's so sadistic. It's almost unbelievable, but it's the IDF after all. What do you mean?

Our media tells us they're the most moral army in the world. We'll be back. Back on TYT, the online news network, Jank and Anna with you guys. Also, Gabney 1211, thank you for gifting five memberships on YouTube. We really appreciate you. Very sweet of you. All right, now we'll do a return of favor for you guys. If you were paying over $50, I think if you're paying over $50, I think if you're paying

over $30, you're needlessly throwing money down the drain for your cell phone service. Noble mobile works on the T-Mobile service area now, rank number one in a lot of surveys. It works perfectly for me everywhere. I've gone, nothing on your phone changes. So the most you could pay is 50, but they give you a lot of cashback if you don't use your data. So that's why I pay it in the 30s. And so t.yt.com slash switch.

And if you switch now, you get another $40 off your first month. So go jump on it right now. TYT.com slash switch. Save yourself a lot of money. All right, Anna. Get a load of this. That first tape or what was there like six guys that's six guys in ski masks surrounding an American, a single American woman in a vehicle.

What the f*** anybody have done? Yeah. If I was sitting in a car as a former seal and CIA, CIA guy and six guys came up with ski masks surrounding my car telling me to get the out, I'd do the same damn thing. Yeah, I mean, all she was doing was driving away and they shot her in the head from that's what I'm saying. I was made it sound like she was trying to run them over.

Thank God. Thank God. That was Sean Ryan, former Navy SEAL, conservative, right winger. speaking out against ICE and the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minnesota. But I wouldn't have guessed that because even I have still continued to buy into summaries of what the right wing is, right? Summaries of what these people believe, as opposed to giving them a chance to explain what they actually believe. That was amazing. Yeah, so there's two things about that real quick, and then we'll tell you some of the

abuses, latest abuses of ICE, which is that look, what the media has done in the past, and we've been a little bit guilty of this as well back in the day, which is you take the most extreme person on the left and you say they represent the entire left. Most extreme person on the right, they represent the whole right. We got into that because it seemed like there were so many of them that they were represented. But what we eventually wound up doing is realizing, no, there's a huge chunk that'll follow Trump no matter what, and so they'll be in favor of ICE. There's a lot of people that are in favor of it, no question on the right.

But wait a minute, does that really represent everyone on that side? And when you look further, you realize that's just not true, right? That American people are much more complicated than that, both on the left and the right. And the second phenomenon is the independent podcasters are not the same as corporate media. Corporate media gives their hosts and anchors talking points, and they are not allowed to divert from them. Now, I told you that about MSNBC, Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly are telling you that about Fox News. We were there, guys.

They have talking points, and that's why I left MSNBC, because I wouldn't do those talking points. Now in independent media, they don't have a boss or an overlord handing them those talking points. These are their genuine opinions, the ones you disagree with and the ones you agree with. They're both genuine. Absolutely. So I love what Sean Ryan had to say about ISIS conduct as it pertains to Renee Goh.

and Alex Prattie. But I wanna be clear, ICE's conduct has been so bad that there are now reports about how detainees are being treated in these ICE facilities. And I wanna give you some of those details. So support for ICE and immigration enforcement more broadly is a big issue for the Republican base. Typically they're pretty supportive. So how do some conservatives like Sean Ryan get to a place where they're now critical

Well, it could have something to do with the report that I'm about to give you the details of, because it turns out that internal ICE records that were obtained by the Washington Post from an anonymous government employee show that as ICE's crackdown on illegal immigration has flooded detention centers with record numbers of detainees. This is graphic one. Guards inside those facilities have increasingly resorted to acts of physical force. Detention guards, detention guards have used punch. kicks, take down maneuvers, restraint holds, and restraint chairs, as well as less lethal weapons such as tasers and pepper spray, and that's according to the reports.

These again are internal reports. The report also states that detainees, including a man with a lung condition, were sprayed with some orange chemical agent following detainee complaints about the abuse they were undergoing. And the fact that by the way, they were not given back their belongings. So they also complained about the conditions they were being detained in. So let me give you some details on that. The incident was one of at least 780 in which staff members at ICE facilities used physical force or chemical agents to control immigrant detainees during the first year of the Trump

administration. And things have only gotten worse since. So during the first year of Trump's second term, detention. detention staff were you, detention staff used force 37% more times than the previous year. But the number of people subjected to force rose even more sharply to 1,330 individuals, a 54% increase from the previous year under President Joe Biden as officers increasingly use these tactics with groups of detainees, the report show. So let's take a look at this next graph, which was provided by the Washington Post. I'll explain to you what you're looking at.

So relevant research group found that there was, or there has been a 45% population increase for these facilities, and the instances of use of force involving multiple detainees has increased by 82% since Trump returned to office. That's what you're looking at now with this second graph. The facilities that are often operate, these facilities are often operating, by private companies. So geo group is one example of a private company that runs these ICE or detention facilities. And they've been trained by ICE and are required to document instances where force is used. But those reports have actually grown increasingly vague, you know, sparse when it comes to the details necessary to really explain what's going on here,

which prompts some serious concerns as over 30 people have died in ICE custody last year, making it the deadliest year for ICE detainees since 2004. So far this year, ICE has reported 18 deaths in custody, marking an even deadlier pace so far. So the deaths prove the abuse is taking place. The increased number of fatalities in these detention facilities proves that the the abuse is taking place. Yeah, so 30 people dying in detention is not acceptable. And none of this abuse is acceptable, but what I'm even more worried about is dehumanization setting in culturally, because that's where we're headed here.

Yeah, we don't want to be Israel. Yeah, and that is part of it. Yeah. So, and sometimes I call that the Israelification of our society. And it starts first with criminals, and you go, well, yeah, I mean, of course you could do solitary confinement if a criminal has bothered anyone inside a prison like they spoke back to a prison guard let's put them in the hole for a week a month. No, that is universally recognized, internationally recognizes torture.

We're social animals, we cannot be left in solitary confinement even for a short period of time, but now we're putting them in for such long periods. Now that's already torture, right? But what that is done is it has begun to dehumanize detainees overall. Then it went from criminals to detainees that are undocumented immigrants. that actually didn't break any laws. Now you can say, hey, maybe if you're on the right, you say they broke the law when they entered the country illegally. But some of them are grandmothers, some of them are kids, some of them are moms, and their

big crime was hoping to have opportunity in America. These aren't people who robbed and raped people, right? These are not violent, dangerous people. At all. Exactly. And if they are, they're in a different place. Then they get brought to jail, right? And prison.

So these people are not criminals, and we're treating. them with terrible abuse. Why? Because we're beginning to see them as non-humans. And by the way, then people after detainees is the average citizen. And so now you're seeing that in some of the ice cases in the streets that Sean Ryan referred to in the beginning. Oh, you're a mom, but you were 10 feet, six feet away from me in the car. I felt within, you know, I felt slightly endangered, my toes fell slightly endangered, so I shot you in the head. And that's no big deal because you're not really fully human because you're not part of the authorities.

So if this sets in, we become a completely different society, a brutal one way closer to fascism and authoritarianism. And so I'm not saying that in a political way, I'm saying that in reality. Like this is when they go to tread on you, they're not going to care if you're on the left or the right. Of course. They're only going to care if you have power or you don't have power. They're already in a place where they don't care if you're on the left or the right.

I mean, the way Trump treats his own supporters and voters, especially after he was implicated in the cover up of the Epstein files, tells you everything you need to know about how little they care about us. Let's just be very clear about that. And by the way, if you're under the impression that enough pressure will lead to the Trump administration hurrying to quell the public's concern of, you know, the lack of transparency when it comes to ICE and their conduct, have no fear because Trump is doing the exact opposite of what you would want. So look, the Department of Homeland Security announced this week that they are going to shutter the office of the immigration detention ombudsman. And if you're wondering, okay, what is that office? Why do I care?

It turns out that that's the group, that's the watchdog group that investigates allegations of abuse and mistreatment within migrant detention facilities. So Anna, I feel like this is the Stanford prison experiment in real life, right? Yeah, yeah. So, you know, everybody who took psychology 101 knows this, this is where they did an experiment, I think in the 1970s in Stanford. So really bright kids and well educated kids, they divided them into guards and prisoners. And instantly, the guards started abusing the prisoners because they felt like they had authority.

It's in our nature, guys, it has nothing new with race, religion, background, left, right, everyone does it, okay? And the detainees and the prisoners started feeling inferior. and got used to the abuse, but then the abuse got worse and worse. Now I know so there's some revisionist history on that experiment, but that seems to hold it almost every instance, right? And so now when we bring that into the real world, and we've removed the restraints that we normally had an American law, and a guy like Trump comes in and goes, do whatever you want to them, then you put the Stanford prison experiment

on steroids. And so that's what we're seeing here. It's guaranteed to bring abuse. Yeah. So we've got to be careful here, but unfortunately it doesn't look like any of our leaders, certainly not Trump, is not at all careful. All right, let's discuss our political prostitute of the day, Ted Cruz. Senator Ted Cruz will soon be the recipient of the Defender of Israel Award at a donor gala, or gala, depending on how you like to say it, hosted by none other than Mary Madelson. Jake your two cents. It's a cucketastrophe. Absolutely.

So Ted Cruz is gonna get cucked here. You're gonna enjoy the details. But of course, I'm gonna bring up that everyone in mainstream media says, I don't see the bribery. I don't see him serving Israel. I'm blind, deaf and dumb. Plus, I'm the dumbest person in America. That's why I'm a reporter.

All right, let's give you the real facts. So let's take a look at the flyer for the Israeli-American Council event that Senator Cruz will be honored at. will be honored at. All right, you're taking a look at that. The gala's theme is Strength in Unity, Leadership Meets Action. Cruz is the event's keynote speaker. And a ticket to this gala will cost you not much, just $2,500 for one ticket.

But if you become a donor club member at the Israeli American Council, you get some extra perks. If you're wondering what those perks are, I'm about to tell you, donor club membership includes gala access and year round engagement, exclusive gatherings, and unparalleled networking with national leaders, philanthropists, and decision makers shaping the future of our community. I would literally pay them $2,500 to not have to go if I were ever asked to go. Like the idea of being in that room. But here's the thing, Ted Cruz loves it. He jumps in it as he told, actually, I won't put words in his mouth.

Let's go to that Tucker Carlson video because he told Tucker Carlson and the rest of the American people what his whole purpose in the United States Senate really is. Take a look. I've never taken money from the Israel lobby. Have you taken money from the Israel? From APEC. So A PAC raises a lot of money for me, but it's actually a misnomer because the people who raise money are individuals. So it's not the PAC itself, but they're individual members who believe in the American-Israeli friendship and relationship. Is AIPAC of foreign lobby? No, it's an American. American lobby. It's the APAC stands for the America-Israeli political action. What is it lobby for? So to be honest, not a whole lot effectively. Listen, I came in to Congress 13 years ago

with the stated intention of being the leading defender of Israel in the United States Senate. I've worked every day to do that. APEC, a lot of times, APEC, I wish we're much more effective. My understanding, having no longer people who are going to be able to be a pack, is that it a lot of time. Is that it lobbies on behalf of the Israeli government? Oh, okay. When was the last time APEC took a position that deviated from Prime Minister Netanyahu? All the time.

Okay. Let me go back and give a little history. If you want to do a deep dive on APEC, I don't. I want to do a shallow dive that gets- No, I want to get to the core question. A-PAC is lobbying for a foreign government. False. It's not.

It's lobbying for the United States. It is lobbying for a strong U.S.-Israeli relationship. Let's just go to graphic four. So you get a sense of how much Senator Cruz has taken from the Israel lobby. Oh, would you look at that $1,411,545? That's at a bare, bare minimum because a lot of the money comes through dark money. And they can't trace the dark money. So he's taking an enormous amount of money.

So guys, look, this is why I get so frustrated at the media. I'm sorry if I keep saying it over again. But how can a reporter see that he gets paid millions of dollars? He just told you his top goal in the Senate is to serve Israel. And then say, oh, A-PAC doesn't lobby for Israel? I mean, Tucker asked a great question, which is, then what do they lobby for? And reporters look at that and go, no, I don't see how Israel's influencing or controlling him at all.

In fact, I think it's offensive if you say that. I think it's offensive if you're that unintelligent and you can't make the simplest conclusion from what he literally told you and the money that he's paid to serve Israel. And then you say, no, I can't see it. Well, I don't think anyone can be that stupid. That's why I think almost everyone in our media is deeply corrupt. And I would say that Tucker Carlson, by exposing Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee and others, has done more journalism than almost any mainstream media reporter.

I mean, of course. And not why they hate him so much. Not one reporter in mainstream media ever asked Ted Cruz any of these questions. No, no, that's why that interview was so incredible to see, right? Especially because it was Tucker Carlson who was carrying it out and who held Senator Cruz's feet to the fire. And they've, look, the mainstream media clearly has been salty about that. ever since because when Tucker Carlson did the sit down interview with the New York Times podcast, they were furious that he treated Senator Cruz that way, but was more polite to

Nick Fuentes who has no political power whatsoever. And at the end of the interview, if you made it all the way there, the New York Times says, and we asked Ted Cruz and he says that he has done nothing for Israel. Like they stated it like it was a fact, right? Like, oh, this idiot Tucker Carlson, this conspiracy theorist. But in reality, Ted Cruz hasn't been biased towards Israel at all. No, not at all. Come on, what a bunch of lies. But let's go to Edelson. So I want to go to video two here. So Miri Madelson's throwing this shindig, right? So in a different Israeli gathering, there's a million of them. She was asked about how she buys

politicians. And awkward, watch this. Mary, you and Sheldon created a lot of relationship over the years with politicians at the state level, especially at the federal level. I want you to share with everyone. Why is it so important and how do you do it? Again, writing checks is part of it, but there is more than writing just checks. So how do you do it? Can you allow me not to answer? You choose. I want to be truthful and there are so many things that I don't want to talk about.

The reason that both of you were able to make huge differences is because you got involved and you spent a lot of time and he has a lot of money on it, but you got involved and you cared. So guys, first of all, he's like, can you tell us how you buy American politicians? She's like, I'm going to take the Fifth Amendment on that. That was wonderfully awkward. And the guy sitting on the other side, by the way, is one of the top donors to Democrats in my lifetime, number one donor to the Clintons. But Mary Madelson, current number one donor to Donald Trump, used to be a donor for the Clintons.

Because they don't care about Republicans or Democrats, they're buying the whole government. And so, well, if you say, Jank, I don't know if I believe you, I mean, do you have anybody on the record talking about that? Let's go to the third video here. And Sheldon would come into the office. They'd call me. I think they had more trips to the White House than anybody else that could think. I've looked at her sitting there so innocently. She's got 60 billion in the bank, 60 billion. And she loves, and she, I think she said no more. And she loves Israel, but she loves it. And they would come in. And her husband was a very aggressive man, but I loved them. But I actually asked, I've got to get her in trouble with this, but I actually asked her. once I said, so Miriam, I know you love Israel. What do you love more? The United States or Israel?

She refused to answer. That means, that might mean Israel, I must say. So funny. She sold this out. She got me to sell out of America for Israel. Oh my God, she likes Israel more. Ted Cruz also works for Israel. She got in.

She bought him off. She bought off so many of our policies. And the media was like, I don't see it. I don't hear it. Yeah, I can't stand these people. I can't get the F out of my country. Get out of my country. Okay, if you don't know, Miriam Aedelson and Sheldon Aedlinson, her late husband, flew Jonathan Pollard back to Israel on their private jet and then threw him a party when he landed in Israel.

Get out of my country. Jonathan Pollard. Please leave, please leave, please leave. Go live in it. I don't understand why they're here. Why are you here, Miriam? Oh, to rob us, that's why they're here. There's no question about it.

I know. So Mary Madelson and those guys put in a couple hundred million dollars and they get back a couple of hundred billion dollars for America. Yet another thing that every reporter in the country just couldn't notice. Oh my God, they got an amazing return on investment. They put in hundreds of millions. They got hundreds of billions. But no reporter could find it. Hey, it's reported everywhere.

Can you make the connection? Don't make the connection. Protect Israel, says our media. So it's obvious that our politicians are captured by Israel and our media is captured by Israel. We live under occupation until we end that occupation here in America. There is no second issue because we have no sovereignty. What you think and what I think about any particular issue is irrelevant because we don't have any effect on our own government. Miriam Adelson and her friends own our government and anyone telling you otherwise is lying to you on

on purpose to keep you asleep so you don't notice that you're occupied and being actively robbed by these donors. Okay, we got to go. When we come back, though, Operation Joy. God bless you. Do you know your brain rot index? Of course you don't. I didn't either because I don't know what that was.
