has just been, you know, not good. I'm so upset. Oh, my God. Well, hello. Welcome to TYT, folks. I'm your host, Anna Kasparian solo hour. Jank Uyugur will be joining me in the second hour before he gets to his revolution in the bonus segment. But we've got such a great show ahead for you guys today. Any day that we get to kind of dive into history in order to explain what's happening today, I get super excited. And believe it or

not, the story that I'm most excited about has to do with something Hillary Clinton said of all people. Now, I don't agree with what she said, but that makes the segment even better. So I'll be talking about her comments at a conference recently. And well, the way that Hillary Clinton as a human being actually devolved. And I'll provide some evidence of that. We're also going to kind of jump into what's transpiring with our current economic situation here in the United States and what Trump has to say about it. Remember, one of the main reasons why he won the popular vote is because he said that he was going to be the cop that stops it. He's going to be the one that ends inflation. But a lot of Americans are leaning into credit cards in order to make ends meet.

So we'll give you some stats on that. Also, little Marco, little Marco Rubio. Our Secretary of State has some thoughts on extremist ideology and how it seeks to take over our country. It's really interesting who he's pointing fingers at. So we'll talk about that. Anyway, a lot to get to. I don't want to waste any time. So why don't we start off with this? The word affordability is a Democrat scam. Look at this in January. Donald Trump's not approving. Not too bad, not too great. It was at minus one point. right within the margin of our breaking even. But look at this now.

Negative 24 points way, way down. We're talking about a drop of over 20 points in the wrong direction for the President of the United States. President Donald Trump is taking an absolute nosedive in the polls. And as much as he wants to believe that the word affordability is nothing but a Democrat hoax, the fact of the matter is Democrats and Republicans in this country alike are really struggling with the current economic situation here in the U.S., especially as the holidays are upon us, people are buying gifts. And later in this segment, I'm going to tell you just

how devastating things are when it has to do with consumer debt and these buy now, pay later services. Now, let's get to some of these details, because the Democrat scam known as affordability is a big reason why Trump is taking that nosedive in the polls. And ironically, just a few days ago, Trump actually called himself, this is hilarious, the affordability president. So today, affordability is a Democrat hoax. But just a few days ago, he called himself the affordability president. Okay. So he, delusionally, if you ask me, wrote on truth social, because I have invoked favored nation's status for the United States of America, drug prices are falling at levels never seen before.

500%, 600%, 700%, and more. So you heard it here, folks, when you go pick up your prescription drugs at the pharmacy, they're actually going to give you money. You don't have to pay anything. They're going to give you money. Obviously, that is not true. Now, there's a small area where I will give Trump a tiny, tiny bit of credit. Hold on for that, but here's some more details.

So he also writes that this is a revolution in medicine, the biggest and most important event ever. He's our president, everybody. If this story is properly told, we should win the midterm elections in record numbers. I am the affordability president. Talk loudly and proudly, President D.J.T. Now look, the thing about lying to the American people is that, that if you're sophisticated enough, you can definitely manipulate people.

Not everybody, but some people will be easily manipulated because they operate based on tribal politics. They want to root for their guy. And, you know, our media really doesn't do a great job digging into the numbers, the stats, and what the reality is on the ground. But when it comes to the economy and Americans' pocketbooks,

you better believe they know what's going on, right? Because we see the prices at the grocery stores, we know how much debt we're in because we're not making enough of a living in order to live off those wages. We have to charge things on credit cards. Everyone knows what the economic situation is on the ground here in the United States. The housing crisis is still very much a crisis. It is nearly impossible for young families to purchase a home, which was one of the only ways that Americans were able to build wealth in this country. That opportunity snatched away. And there hasn't really been actual solutions, even proposed or presented by the Trump administration. So this is the one area in which Trump's lies, his fibs, his nonsense, and he is a great marketer. He knows how to market himself. But it's not going to save him in this specific scenario because the economy touches all of us. There's no escape from it. So let's get to some more details about what's happening here because Trump thinks that Americans are stupid, if you ask me. I mean, lying to our faces about what we're experiencing with the economy

and thinking we're going to believe it means he thinks we're stupid. But obviously we're not. Now, putting that aside, the Trump administration is working, at least he claims, to achieve what's known as favored nation's status for the United States. Now, that is important, and I'll explain what that is. So the idea behind this designation is that it would prevent pharmaceutical companies from price gouging Americans compared to what other developed nations are paying for the exact same drugs. So I'll give you a specific example. One brand of asthma inhaler, for example, runs $248 per 30 puffs in the U.S. and just $49 in France. It's quite a disparity. And this has been going on for a very, very long period of time. And so Trump has been

negotiating with pharmaceutical companies to lower drug prices for Americans, which let me be clear, is a good thing. That is a good thing. But there is a catch. Now, if he was able to rein in these pharmaceutical drug companies that rely on our taxpayer dollars for their research and development and essentially force them to charge us what other nations are being charged, that's great. But there's an added layer to this that I don't think is great. Now, what am I talking about. Basically, he is trying to get the pharmaceutical companies to charge other developed nations more for their pharmaceutical drugs. So let's get to the details there. So the Trump administration has promised pharmaceutical companies that they will push to increase drug prices

in other countries. And so far, they have succeeded at least in one case. And I'm sorry to all of our friends over in the UK, but you guys are the victims here. So basically, the UK government will raise the net price it pays for new patented medicines by 25% and revamp a tax program to ease the burden on drug companies. So as I was reading that at first, I was like, oh, ease the burden on citizens in the UK because now they're going to have to pay 25% more for the drugs. No, no, no. The pharmaceutical companies get to charge people in the UK more as much as 25%. And on top of that, the UK is supposed to agree to rewrite their tax code, I guess, in a way that would be even more beneficial to the pharmaceutical companies. Look, I care about America first.

I really do. But I also do not want other people to suffer simply because they're not in our country. They shouldn't be price gouged for pharmaceutical drugs either. So I take issue with that for sure. And remember, I had an interview on this show in which an expert that's been studying this mentioned, you know, the whole favored nation's scam really is a scam because what Trump is actually trying to do is get the price of pharmaceutical drugs in other countries to go up. And then we're still paying a lot for pharmaceutical drugs. We're still being price gouged. The only differences all the other countries are also being price gouch. That doesn't really make me feel better.

You know what I'm saying? So let's get to the overall economic situation because overall things aren't so great for Americans here. They're struggling to afford more than just their medical expenses. So a new Washington Post ABC Ipsos poll found that a majority of Americans say that they're spending more on groceries and utilities than they were a year ago. And Americans were not happy. a year ago under Biden. Remember, his economy was something that essentially led to a lot of

backlash toward the Biden administration, but things are clearly, according to what people are saying in these polls, even worse now. So also, there's a recent NBC news poll that found that only 30% of voters believe that Trump has lived up to their expectations for tackling inflation and the cost of living. And here are some alarming statistics from Money Lion, which, surveyed Americans to see what their, you know, debt situation looks like. And I knew this was going to be bad because consumer debt just keeps breaking records year after year. That is not good news. So 84% of Americans plan to use credit cards to manage holiday spending and 30% plan to use buy now, pay later. By now, pay later is a growing issue because it makes it so easy

for people to just agree and go into debt for all sorts of consumer items. And I just, you know, if you are ever tempted to do it, really ask yourself, do I need the item that I'm thinking about buying now and going into debt for it? That's what it really is. It's just debt, right? Buy now, pay later. They're not doing you a favor. They're doing themselves a favor.

They're making money off of you by using that service. Now, 25% of Americans are planning to take an extra job to help supplement their income for the holidays, including 44% of Gen Z and 34% of millennials. Now, Vice President J.D. Vance appears to be more aware and a little more caring about this issue than Donald Trump has been. At least that's what his messaging would indicate. You know, on one hand, you have Trump arguing that this is a Democrat, this is a Democrat hoax. J.D. Vance is like, maybe I don't go in that direction. Maybe I at least acknowledge the pain that I'm Americans are experiencing. Now, he doesn't really offer any solutions for it, but he does say,

we need to focus on the home front. Elaborate on that a little, JD. What do you mean we need to focus on the home front? Do you mean maybe we stop going into more debt to provide Israel with weapons to steal land from various Middle Eastern countries and commit atrocities against the Palestinian people? Is that what you're referring to? Let me continue. Here's what else he says. The president has done a lot that has already paid off in lower interest rates and lower inflation. We are experiencing the beginning stages of stagflation. Okay. Unemployment is increasing and you have the Federal Reserve, you know, lowering interest rates. It hasn't been a massive cut in interest rates, but we all know what happens if the Federal Reserve cuts the interest rates preemptively

or too soon. That is going to heat up the economy even more. So right now, we have rising unemployment, but we also have rising inflation. Inflation in the last reports is at 3%, which isn't good. And the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates didn't really help with the inflationary situation. So saying that Trump has already taken action, I mean, all he's done is bully Jerome Powell into lowering interest rates. And it didn't work because Americans are still struggling. So, you know, look, I guess better attempt at lying to the American people compared to Trump. He didn't even try. J.D. Vance is at least trying, so I guess A for effort, although he's not being completely honest here. Here's more. Goes on about how we inherited a disaster from

Joe Biden and Rome wasn't built in a day. Okay. So we're going to go ahead and blame others for the failures of our administration. We're going to keep on working to make a decent life affordable in this country, and that's the metric by which will ultimately be judged in 2026 and beyond. How about banning private equity firms and foreign interests from buying up residential real estate? The only people who should be allowed to buy homes in America at this moment, as we have a severe housing shortage, should be Americans. But on top of that, what is the Trump administration doing to spur more construction for housing? I haven't seen anything on that at all. Trump is too busy with his crypto schemes and his various business deals with Saudis and other

various countries, the Qataris. That's what Trump is up to. Trump is, he's getting the bag. Okay? We are not getting the bag as the American people. And really to say that there's like this intense focus on improving the economic situation for Americans. It's just, it's laughable and it's honestly insulting. Now, he also says, or last week he posted, that after four years of house prices doubling and in some areas tripling, many young people feel priced out of the American dream of homeownership. Wow, congratulations for realizing that. I mean, are you going to do anything about it? What are you going to do about it? Nothing? Oh, you're just going to acknowledge that it's a problem. Okay. And that's one thing that I really want to emphasize

with this story and with anything having to do with the political horse race. Just because a politician simply acknowledges reality should not be like the gold standard of who you should support politically. Okay, you have identified the problem. Congratulations. A five-year-old at this point can do that. What are you going to do about it? And by the way, This is a criticism I have for prominent political figures on both sides of the political aisle. Leading up to the 2024 election, I was making arguments like this about the Biden administration when they were telling all of us that the economy was fantastic. Oh, GDP, fantastic.

The stock market, fantastic. I don't care. For me, what matters is, are people earning decent wages? Are they able to buy a home? Are they able to get married? Are they able to afford having kids if they choose to have kids? These are the real questions we should be asking. Are they able to work a full-time job 40 hours a week, not have to take on a second job, and make ends meet?

Because remember, for all of the grief that SNAP recipients have been getting recently, upward of 60% of them literally work full-time jobs. So we are subsidizing corporations that are not paying them a living wage in this country. We should be more upset about that as opposed to, you know, the thought of our fellow Americans needing a public service like SNAP in order to feed themselves and their families. So there are two big questions here. Will the Trump administration take decisive action to lower prices? And by the way, what would that look like? Carrie Enton thinks the answer is no and here's why. How does this compare to other presidents in their second term at this point?

point in time. Yeah, okay. So, you know, this is one of these great examples where I kind of run out of room on the slide. So I just, yeah, I run out of room on the side. So I just put up the Republican presidents. But look, the only one who's worse for me, either among Republicans or Democrats at this point, a second term, is Richard Nixon. And of course, Richard Nixon had to wave Adios amigos goodbye less than a year after this poll was taken. He was at minus 36 points. Trump at minus 24 points. Anywhere you look, this is the second worst for a president of either party at this point in their second term, dating all the way back since the 1940s. Were there any presidents who saw their net approval ratings rise by more than five points?

Well, guess what, Sarah Seider? You go all the way back since Harry S. Truman. Zero out of eight times that the president's net approval rating rise by over five points. And of course, Donald Trump right now on Gallup, minus 24 points. He's in the minus teens, according to the average. If he does not see a rise of more than five points, see you later that Republican majority, it has never happened. So it would be incredibly challenging for President Trump to increase his poll numbers.

But if he even wanted to try, I think the first step he could take is maybe stop hobnobbing with former al-Qaeda terrorists and butchers from Saudi Arabia over at the Oval. Maybe spend your free time, if you have any, on your various crypto schemes and business deals with foreign countries. Maybe spare a minute or two to actually think about what's happening here on the ground and how the United States is suffering under an inflationary period, an economic situation in which jobs are being totally destroyed by, you know, AI technology and by corporations. you know, kind of putting in the cart before the horse and firing a bunch of people before AI is even developed enough to do the job that human beings can do. But nonetheless, he just, he seems aloof, okay? He seems like he doesn't really care that much.

And then when anyone dares to bring up how this is hurting him in the polls, he lashes out like a child. And I'm just sick of being governed by 80-year-old children. Okay, I'm sick of being lied to and I'm sick of watching the people of this country get left behind by the political elite who use their positions of power to enrich themselves, to build businesses for themselves, to engage in insider training. I'm sick of it. And I don't care what their party affiliation is. Okay, we have been let down again and again and again. And I'm just sick of being lied to. So when they're lying to your party affiliation is, okay, we have been let down again and again and again. And it's, I'm just sick of being lied to. So when they're lying to your face, recognize it, and push back because we deserve better than this. All right, we've got to take a break. When we come back, we'll move on to some other news, including, well, just how embarrassing Hillary Clinton is.

Maybe go back for a hike in the woods. We'll be right back. Hey, you got to be a little bit more paranoid than you are. Adios amicos, goodbye. You know, I'm going to be able to be. What's up, everyone? Welcome to our first social break of the day. Jack Callahan says, I hope you're feeling better, Anna.

I'm not, but I wasn't going to give up my solo hour today, so I'm here. By the way, Jank will be out tomorrow. So I'll be doing the show solo tomorrow as well. But he'll be here for the second hour today. Let's go to Earthling Dragon, who says, good evening, Anna. Would you consider getting Janus Verifakis on two? the show. I know he just wrote a book. I watched his interview on Navarro Media. Oh, my God, that was such a depressing interview. Yeah, I'm definitely open to interviewing him. He's

fantastic, but his latest theory is probably the most depressing thing that I've heard in a long time. And it's basically about how, you know, a lot of leftists, socialists ask themselves, like, what comes after capitalism? And he thinks that what comes after capitalism is already here. And it's much more difficult to rein in. So check out that interview on Navarro Media. It's really, really good. But yeah, we'll reach out to him and see if he's willing to come on our show for an interview. All right, let's go to Super Chats.

We've got Dav Mill, who says violent criminals have proven they fear not the police, the courts, or the jury. Therefore, they must learn to fear their victims. Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Cooper Principles of Self-Defense, Romulus. Oh, this is a comment from who used to be Romulus, now is Dav Mill. I don't know if you're talking about that story out of Los Angeles that is infuriating. I thought about covering it, maybe I will tomorrow. But the thing about states like California is they do have soft on crime policies.

I'm just going to keep it real. But they also do away with means of defending yourself if you end up getting assaulted on the street. And that's infuriating. Daph Mill also says that the U.S. is rapidly approaching the point where Congress couldn't pass a balanced budget if they cut all spending. Interest on the debt will overtake incoming revenue. I mean, interest on the debt is already costing us a trillion dollars a year. That is insane.

That's insane. But it's okay. Let's continue putting ourselves an even more debt to provide weapons of war to foreign countries. Ryder Dragon says UK residents pay a flat $9.9.90 pounds for prescriptions. Yeah, so I'm really curious how it's going to work when they increase pharmaceutical drug prices by 25%. Obviously, that cost is going to somehow be transferred over to you. I could be wrong, and I really, really hope I am wrong. But going into other countries and negotiating for higher drug prices, for the people living in those countries, I think is pretty sick. to be honest. Gargoyle Dragon says, the message for the next Democratic nominee should be,

I'm going after business and the rich, whether they gave to me or not. How about we don't vote for people who take money from, you know, the very corporate interests who have gotten us into a situation where it looks like we have more of a uniparty than anything else. Anyway, let's get back to the show. See you there. Welcome back to the show, everyone. I'm your host, Anna Kasparian, and, well, someone is making news yet again when she should be hiking over in the woods and consoling herself over how much of a loser. she really is. If you don't know who I'm talking about, take a look at this. More than 50% of young people in America get their news from social media. They are seeing

short form videos. Some of them totally made up. Some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing. And that's where they get their information. This episode is brought to you by prize picks. It's the holiday season, the best time of the year for everything, including sports. You've got bowl games, basketball matchups, playoff pushes. It's all happening at once. And while you and I are out here making decisions every day, what gifts to buy, what to eat, which game to watch, there's one place where it feels good to be right. Prize picks.

I've been playing fantasy football forever. And then once I started on prize picks, I realized, why did I wait so long? It's so straightforward and easy to use. I don't have to calculate any confusing odds. The payout multipliers are right there. And I love that I could have Patrick Mahomes and Steph Curry in the same lineup. It makes every game much more exciting. And what I really like is the flexibility.

You can choose a power play for the biggest payouts. Do I like those? Of course! Or a flex play where you can still get paid even if one of your picks misses. And I like that one a lot too. So it's a great way to put your sports knowledge to the test. and you know I love putting my knowledge to the test. So download the Price Picks app today

and use code TYT to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup. That's code TYT to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup. Price Picks, it's good to be right. Well, the unpopular former presidential candidate who lost both bids for the White House and blamed everyone from the deplorables to Russia for it,

thinks the youths are too stupid to realize how great Israel really is. That's what she was saying at some conference she was at recently. And there is more from this embarrassing commentary. Why don't we take a look at that? And then we'll look at reality since Hillary Clinton pretends like she cares about it. We're getting their information from social media, particularly TikTok. that is where they were learning about what happened on October 7th, what happened in the days, weeks, and months to follow.

That's a serious problem. It's a serious problem for democracy, whether it's Israel, the United States, and it's a serious problem for our young people. When you would try to talk to them to engage in some kind of reasonable discussion, it was very difficult because they did not know history. They had very little context, and what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided. It was pure propaganda. And so when you think about how to tell Israel's story, and it's important, it's not just looking internally, it's looking externally,

and particularly looking at young people, because, you know, it's not just the usual suspects. It is a lot of young Jewish Americans who don't know the history and don't understand. Oh, those are bad Jews. They're bad Jews because they don't believe the nonsense propaganda coming from a genocidal state that they disagree with. And that would be the foreign nation state of Israel. Those individuals, by the way, that Shia just decided to excoriate because they're not the proper type of Jews are heroes. They're amazing people because for all the grief that we here at TYT might get for being as critical, of Israel as we are, I know, and I have seen how Jews in this country are treated by members of their own families, if they dare speak out against what Netanyahu and the Israeli government has been up to, not just over the last two years, but for decades now. So she says, you know, we got to put things into context. You know, I'm going to go ahead and still whine about TikTok, even though I know that Larry Ellison, the single largest donor to the IDF,

purchased TikTok and has been engaged in a purge of anyone on that platform that dares speak out against Israel. But I'm still going to whine about TikTok. And I'm going to continue to pretend as though, you know, the real problem here is misinformation and propaganda. You know, these kids just don't know what they're doing. And she's really salty about the fact that shocking. she's teaching a course at Columbia, which reinforces the notion that colleges have become a scam, honestly. But she's teaching a course over at Columbia. And some of the students are asking her difficult questions. And what do you do when you were a pathetic politician who started off

with correct opinions on what's happening in the Middle East? And then you got shellacked by the Israel lobby and then suddenly changed your mind, especially when you started running for office. So let's talk a little bit about history. Hillary Clinton purports to like it. I love history. So one of my favorite books, and I make no secret about it, is the Israel lobby, which was written by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt. And in it, it really does talk about just as relevant today as it was when it was written in the early aughts. It's really about just how influential these lobbying groups really are. And they do cover Hillary Clinton and how she devolved as a human being as a result of the Israel lobby.

So this is an excerpt from the book. Let's go ahead and read it. Hillary Clinton, whose support for Palestinian statehood in 1998 and public embrace of Suha Arafat, wife of Yasser Arafat in 1999, provoked strong criticism from groups. in the Israel lobby. So her big offense, if you're wondering what she said that upset them so much. And remember, this is as the Oslo Accord negotiations are taking place. She said at the time that it would be in the long-term interest of peace in the Middle East

for there to be a state of Palestine, a functioning modern state that is on the same footing as other states, which I think is probably the least controversial thing I've heard in a long time from her mouth. But she didn't say that today. She said that back in the 1990s. Then she gets the backlash from the Israel lobby. And then suddenly Clinton became an ardent defender of Israel once she began running for office herself. And she now gets strong backing, including financial support from pro-Israel organizations and individuals. After Clinton appeared at a pro-Israel rally in July of 2006 and expressed strong support for Israel's highly destructive war against Lebanon, Helen Friedman, executive director of the hardline Americans for a Safe Israel, declared,

I thought her remarks were very good, especially in light of her history, and we can't forget her kiss to Suha. So I want to make it very clear that Hillary Clinton is the political version of a prostitute. Her values don't exist. I don't even know what her values are because everything can be bought with Hillary Clinton. I want to run for a Senate seat,

so I'm going to go from advocating for a Palestinian state to getting down on my knees and pleasuring the Israel lobby, so they give me the money that I want to run for office. And on top of that, I don't have to worry about them attacking me and making it a little more difficult for me to win the election. That's who Hillary Clinton is. Does she like that history? That's not a TikTok video.

That's real life. Let's give you a little more real life here. So let's see what Israel has been up to because, look, she's right. I want to make sure that people are fully informed about what Israel is up to. I don't want them to simply rely on short form videos on social media. So let me add to it by giving you a link. argument and some news about what's been going on lately. So let's start with the torture of Palestinian hostages and the individuals that they have detained

over at Israel without any charges, any trial, meaning they are hostages. So with that in mind, let's take a look. So a Palestinian photojournalist was killed by an Israeli drone attack in Khan Yunus, Southern Gaza on Tuesday as the IDF. Israel has now returned a hundred 95 bodies as part of the ceasefire deal. They are so badly decomposed that just a quarter have been identified. A grisly and heart-rending job for the local forensics team. With all Gaza's specialist labs destroyed by war, they must do the job by hand. Doctors say many of the bodies bear signs of torture, abuse and execution. This man died blindfolded, another with his hands bound behind his back.

There was decomposition in the bodies. There were also gunshots on the chest and head, in addition to fractures in the skull and legs. Nida has found her father's body. She can't believe what she's seeing. The bodies were mutilated

and showed clear signs of torture. Including my father, whose arms were amputated, with torture marks on his legs, he was in terrible condition. So I had to identify him from his clothes, his teeth, and an old scar on his forehead. Imagine witnessing a parent's corpse looking like that, knowing that it's been tortured like that. And that's just one anecdote, one story, one woman who had to witness her father's

body in that type of condition. Now, there are literal teenagers, Palestinian teenagers, who have experienced the torture. They've seen the torture firsthand. And the 15-year-old that you're about to hear from in this PBS NewsHour piece, it's not a TikTok video, Hillary. It's not a TikTok video. He's going to explain how he was not only arrested

three separate times without charge. While he was detained, he saw horrors that he's about to describe. Take a look at that. Adel, whose name we've changed to protect his identity, is just 15. He's been arrested three times since he was 13, and last year was shot in the legs by an Israeli soldier, needing multiple surgeries. He says after October 7th,

the child managers meant to monitor their treatment in jail were dismissed, and new guards raided their cells nightly. They took us out to the yard and went into the cells, where they took all our clothes and left nothing. Later, they started invading the adult department, where they beat and tortured them. One prisoner was sick, and the other prisoners started calling for a doctor to help him. But the guards came inside and started hitting him to wake him up. Instead of getting a doctor, they beat him up. He died.

Yeah. Modern-day Nazis. Modern-day Nazis. Oh, was that offensive? Let me keep going then. So that was reporting from last month. But now there's been a new UN report in regard to torture that's being used as a weapon of war by the Israelis. This is one of the headlines covering it. Israel has de facto state policy of organized torture, says UN report. Committee highlights allegations including dog attacks and sexual violence,

which we have actually seen on surveillance footage, raising concern about impunity for war crimes. Well, Israel has always been met with impunity because unfortunately, Israel has complete control of the U.S. government. And as a result, the U.S. government continues to provide cover for Israel's war crimes at the U.N., especially when there are UN Security Council votes to sanction Israel, and the U.S. immediately comes in and vetoes it. So let's get a to the details of this report and what it indicates. And is this a lengthy enough video for Hillary Clinton or is this also considered short form TikTok misinformation? So the report, the UN committee on torture expressed deep concern over allegations of repeated severe beatings,

dog attacks, electrocution, waterboarding, use of prolonged stress positions and sexual violence. The report also said that Palestinian detainees were humiliated by being made to act like animals or being urinated on were systematically denied medical care and subject to excessive use of restraints in some cases resulting in amputation. Now, let me ask you guys something. I'm genuinely curious. You know, those accounts like Stop Antisemitism.com think that people like Ms. Rachel are causing hatred in this country. Oh, the anti-Semitism is a result of people like Ms. Rachel humanizing Palestinian children who have lost their limbs as a result of Israel's atrocities in Gaza. I would argue, though, that maybe Israel's actions are the problem here.

Just curious what you all think, because you read more details about this, about this report, and what human rights activists. in Israel have to say, and I just, how do you deny it? And this is why every time I find myself on a debate with some pro-Israel person, these days it's usually a 2V1 situation as it was today on Pierce Morgan Show. I just love it. I love it. They always have like two or three pro-Israel people and then me. And I still crush them. You want to know why? I'm not some amazing debater. I'm not a genius. There's nothing special about me at all. I just care about the truth. And when you have the truth on your side, your debate skills don't matter.

And they just keep repeating and regurgitating the exact same ridiculous arguments. Their debate muscle has totally atrophied. They're fatigue. They don't know what to do. Because for the longest time, due to the fact that our media here would serve as gatekeepers protecting the Israelis and their narrative, they've never really had to be confronted with actual arguments. Now that they are, they never have a response other than just denying it or blaming Hamas.

Like it's really amazing stuff. So this part of the report was, I mean, you know that it was happening, you know that it's still happening, but it's still hard to read about it. So the UN report draws attention to the high proportion of children who are currently detained without charge or on remand. Noting the age of criminal responsibility imposed by Israel is 12 years old, 12, and that children younger than 12 have also been detained. It's sick. This is so sick.

And of course, people have died. The report reveals that 75 Palestinians have died in detainment over the last two years of this genocide. And it also found the death told to be abnormally high and appears to have exclusively affected the Palestinian detainee population. It notes that to date, no state officials have been held responsible or accountable for such deaths.

And that's one of the greatest injustices. I mean, when you see that, when you see that these individuals who are carrying out such vile acts are met with impunity, it makes you want to give up, but you can't give up. You can't.

Because allowing this to stand, being an ally to a country that carries this out is not a good look for America, for our country, for the American people. And I know that most Americans are waking up to this. And that's what has people like Hillary Clinton so upset. So that's what gives me a little bit of hope. Because as you read these devastating stories, and in my darkest moments when I feel like there is no hope,

there's never going to be justice, let's move on, I just remember the fact that there are Americans across the political spectrum who are finally waking up to what's going on here. So Israel also slaughtered yet another journalist in Gaza. By the way, they're still not allowing international journalists into the Gaza Strip to do independent reporting. The only journalists who are allowed in are absolute suckers who are being led by IDF soldiers. But nonetheless, they have killed a photojournalist by the name of Mahmoud. Wadi, whose life was robbed from him by IDF soldiers carrying out a drone strike on his tent. Drop site news reports that Wadi was known for his drone footage on social media that showed

everyone the extent of the destruction in the Gaza Strip. So clearly the Israelis were not happy about that. And he also showed just the massive tent encampments that have taken over Gaza as a result of nearly every residential building being destroyed. And I want you to hear from Dave DeCamp from anti-word.com, kind of presenting this story and giving you more details about it. Take a look. So a Palestinian photojournalist was killed by an Israeli drone attack in Conunis, Southern Gaza on Tuesday as the IDF continues to violate the U.S.-backed ceasefire deal. Mahmood Wadi was known for his drone photography, and he was killed while in an area outside

side of the Israeli controlled side of the yellow line. Medical sources told Turkey's Anadolu agency, and that's what family members said as well. His father must have been nearby. He described what it felt like when the strike hit his tent. And you see this picture here from his funeral. He has the press vest. So this is Wadi's father, Isam. He told Anadolu, quote, I never expected to lose Mahmood, who is not just my son, but a friend.

as he grew up in a photography studio. Mahmoud was photographing in a safe area, but the Israelis respect no pledges or promises. Their entire life is treachery and deceit. Maybe it's just a phase you're going through. You'll get over it. I can't help you with that. The next appointment is in six months.

You're not alone. Finding mental health support shouldn't leave you feeling more lost. At CAMH, we know how frustrating it can be trying. to access care. We're working to build a future where the path to support is clear and every step forward feels like progress, not another wrong turn. Visit camh.ca to help us forge a better path for mental health care. Imagine witnessing your own son getting killed by a drone strike in his tent. The Israeli military has killed over 260 journalists and media workers in Gaza over the past two years in what is the deadliest conflict, genocide, for journalists in modern history.

And that's not TikTok, Hillary. Again, that's real life. In addition to that, the Associated press reported that the Israeli military killed another Palestinian near the Borgi or near a refugee camp in central Gaza. Okay, so there is no ceasefire. They just wanted us to stop talking about it. And I'm not going to do that. We're going to keep talking about it, and we're going to keep covering these atrocities. And Larry Ellison can go ahead and buy TikTok. But the fact of the matter is, you can't really change people's minds by trying to silence them and trying to silence people they trust to do accurate reporting on what's happening right now. And I'll just end on one more data point because I don't want this to be memory hold.

Remember when Israeli publications obtained leaked IDF data about the casualties in Gaza? If you do remember, great. If you don't, let me remind you. Israeli Army database suggests at least 83% of Gaza dead were civilians. That was reported by 972 magazine. That's an Israeli paper. Classified intelligence for May reveals Israel believed it had killed some 8,900 militants in its attacks on Gaza, indicating a portion of civilian slaughter with few parallels

in modern warfare, a joint investigation fines. Hillary Clinton is a depraved, pathetic, sad individual. She lost both presidential bids because people can see through her. One of the most shameful things I've ever done is allow myself to cast a ballot for her in 2016. when I didn't really need to, you know, living in California, why would I vote for that person? I'm being nice here. I want to use other words, but I won't. I allowed myself to be so afraid of Trump that I cast a ballot for Hillary Clinton when I didn't need to. And I feel a lot of shame about that. Anyway, let's take a break. When we come back, we'll check in on Little Marco. We've got a lot more news to get to. Come right back.

Thank you. What's up, everyone back to our What's up, everyone? Welcome back to our social break. Mungoose Dragon says, next visit to the pharmacy, just tell them DJT sent you. No, but seriously, like, someone should film themselves picking up their prescription and saying, like, aren't I supposed to get money back?

Trump said that he lowered drug prices by 700%. What a joke. All right. T.O. 1790 says, let's not insult prostitutes. I consider them sex workers. Okay, prostitute, I don't really use for sex workers. I use them for politicians. So I just want to be clear about that distinction.

Because I know what you're saying, and I know that it sounds like I'm insulting sex workers. That is not what I'm trying to do. I'm insulting a disgusting politician who, by the way, one other thing about Hillary Clinton. She's the one who was messaging with Jake Sullivan as the United States during the Obama administration was supplying arms to freaking al-Qaeda in Syria to oust Bashar al-Assad. She's a horrible person, okay? All right, so let's, but I hear what you're saying and you're, you know, I just want to be clear. I am not at all trying to insult sex workers.

Let's go to Madame Rochelle, who says, I think more than just banning private equity and foreign investors will be needed to raise housing stock availability. Get rid of the loopholes for that, too. You can have a maximum of two to three houses per person who must also be either an American citizen or or permanent resident, look, people are not going to like what I'm going to say here. But if you are in the middle of a severe housing shortage, I don't think people should be allowed to buy multiple homes. Okay. Now, I know I'm not going to win on that, but I hear what you're saying. And we do need to find ways and incentives to get more housing construction, you know, carried out. Otherwise, we're going to find ourselves in this situation.

for a long time, forever. It's never going to get better. Wong June says, Hillary Clinton denies the death of Palestinian children, and in about three weeks she'll go on TV or social media to preach peace to all mankind as she celebrates the birth of one of, birth of the one Palestinian child she does like, or at least pretends to.

I don't know what you're talking about. Which Palestinian child does she like? I don't trust anything that comes out of that woman's mouth. honestly. All right, let's go to our member section where Kevin Shea, She It Ain't So, says, anyone see the cabinet meetings besides being so pathetic with everyone fawning over Trump, what makes it even worse is they need to fawn over him while he naps. I did see that. It was pretty funny. It was pretty funny. Dysopian, but funny. All right, we have 14 seconds. Let me read one. In Liberty and Guns We Trust, Anna, congratulations on anti-Semite of the year. Israelis

grasping at straws these days. They've permanently ruined their image, just watched a Pierce Morgan with Valentina Gomez, and I threw up in my mouth. She's pathetic. Listen, I'm not joking what I'm talking about how much of a problem inflation is. With prices going up on everything, why don't you save some money on your phone bill? Hello?

That's tyt.com slash switch. All right, let's get to our next story. All right. So I wanted to talk a little bit about Marco Rubio and what he thinks we American should be very, very scared about. The notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simply controlling some

province in Iraq or Syria is just not borne out by history. Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate. They want to expand. It is a revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, is making that argument about radical Islam. As we are all witnessing, Israel annex land from Syria, from Gaza, from the West Bank, Lebanon. What is he even talking about? But guys, see, this is how the United States government, which is occupied by the Israeli government works, they need the squirrel

to distract you from the actual bad actor here. And of course, the punching bag that we, the United States have historically funded and propped up is radical Islamists. Now, what do I mean when I say we prop up and fund? Oh, let me take you for a little ride. Let's take you for a little ride. Because there were extremists in the White House not too long ago. Who am I talking about? This guy. His name used to be Muhammad al-Jalani, and there used to be a $10 million bounty on his head by the United States because he was an al-Qaeda terrorist who was trying to kill our soldiers in Iraq. But if I remember correctly, we were not only arming him and his group in Syria in an effort to oust Bashar al-Assad, we're now totally, helping him launder his reputation as if he wasn't one of the extremists who was trying to kill Americans in Iraq. It's incredible. Now, Alshara is the new leader of Syria, and Trump sure does

love his extremists. Take a look. How did you find a Syrian president? Right. Right. I think very good. Young, attractive guy, tough guy. You know, a strong pass. A strong past fighter. But he's got a real shot at pulling it together. Strong attractive guy. Like Trump is such a gooner. Like he, even when he sees a hot guy in his mind, I don't think I'll show him. No, not for me.

It's for other people, for Trump apparently. Can't help himself from commenting on his good looks. I know that we're supposed to just buy that he's, oh, he's a moderate now. I mean, it was all about killing American soldiers, not to. too long ago. And his group of terrorists in Syria are still killing various ethnic groups and, you know, people like the Alawites, Drews, Christians. But let's just pretend. Like, we're all good now because he's willing to bow his head. He's not friends with Iran. That's the most important thing, right? That he's not an ally of Iran like Bashar al-Assad was. So yeah, sure. I mean,

Yeah, he did try to kill American soldiers and he was a terrorist with al-Qaeda. But he's nicer to Israel. So that's okay. As Jake Sullivan said, as al-Qaeda was being armed by the United States in Syria, al-Qaeda is not our enemy. There are allies in Syria. It's disgusting. Now, even little Marco couldn't pass up a photo opportunity with the reformed terrorist.

That's the video you're watching right now. You know, wow. Isn't that the, isn't Marco Rubio standing next to a guy that I should be super scared of? I mean, isn't that, I thought radical Islamic extremists are what we should all worry about. Why were they in the White House? And by the way, that's not it. So I want to be very, very clear about something. We do have a history of arming all sorts of terrorist groups when it's convenient for us or when it's convenient for our ally Israel.

And then when they're no longer convenient, we fearmonger about them to the United States, to the American people. And it's a great distraction from what Israel is up to in the Middle East. Because if you wanted to talk about empire building, if you want to talk about stealing land, right now, at this moment, Israel is doing it, and they're doing it with our money and our weapons. But they don't want us to talk about that. Okay, so I'll talk about Muslim extremists. That's okay. They want me to do that. I'll do that. So why don't we talk about the other Muslim extremist that was in the White House just recently? And that's the butcher, better known as Mohammed bin Salman, the very man who ordered the assassination. and dismemberment of U.S. resident and Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. He recently visited the White House, and man, Trump really gets fired up if his favorite terrorist is being asked difficult questions from American journalists. Take a look. Your loyal highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder

of a journalist. 9-11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. who you're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about, whether you like him or didn't like him. Things happen, but he knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that. You don't have to embarrass our guests by asking a question like that. Yeah, don't be mean to the terrorists that we like here in the United States

because his country has agreed to provide a lot of money. to my son-in-law's hedge fund. And I've got my own dealings in Saudi Arabia as well. So the butcher's okay with us. The butcher's okay. Yeah. The U.S. and Israel like to prop up actual extremists and terrorists. So we all have this boogeyman to obsess about while, you know, the real culprit in empire expansion is Israel.

I just want to be very, very clear about that because I'm sick of the lies and I'm sick of the gaslighting. The militant group in Gaza, known as popular forces, led by Abu Shabab, has been funded by Israel. It's currently being funded and armed by Israel. And Netanyahu got caught doing it, so he had no choice but to concede, to confess that that's what's been going on. This is the group that's been looting Gaza's humanitarian aid. And then, of course, Israel will blame Hamas for doing it, even though reporting in the New York Times clarified that it's not Hamas. And of course, Israel blamed Hamas for why they're carrying out a genocide, even though they're the ones who propped up the very group that they're now fear-mongering about. And if you don't know what I mean, let me take you to a video dating all the way back to 2009 featuring former congressman Ron Paul.

If you look at the history, you'll find out that Hamas was encouraged and really started by Israel because they wanted Hamas. to counteract Yasser Arafat. He said, well, yeah, that was better then and served his purpose, but we didn't want Hamas to do this. So then we, as Americans, say, well, we have such a good system. We're going to impose this on the world. We're going to invade Iraq and teach people how to be Democrats. We want free elections. So we encourage the Palestinians to have a free election.

They do, and they elect Hamas. So we first indirectly and directly through Israel help establish Hamas. Then we have election, then Hamas becomes dominant, so we have to kill them. You know, it just doesn't make sense. During the 80s, you know, we were allied with Osama bin Laden, and we were contending with the Soviets. It was at that time our CIA thought it was good if we radicalize the Muslim world. I know that there are variations in, you know, libertarian thought. And when it comes to their economic positions, I think that's where I have the deepest disagreements with them.

But man, they tend to hit the mark perfectly when it comes to foreign policy. And Ron Paul was absolutely correct there. Now, I want to queue up the cold open because I want you to hear from Marco Rubio one more time before we get to our very last video. Because I want you to remember what he has accused Muslims of doing. Take a look. The notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simply control. controlling some province in Iraq or Syria is just not borne out by history. Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world

and be happy with their own little caliphate. They want to expand, it is a, it is a revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people. That's what Marco Rubio wants you to be very scared about. But what's actually happening right now in the Middle East, why don't we take a little trip to the West Bank. Here in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, a Palestinian family is being forced out of their home. The family say they are being threatened by a Jewish settler.

The person the Shdaya family accuse of leading the violence against them is this settler, Moshe Sharvite. Abil! Abil! He has become known in the area for his aggressive actions against Palestinians. Frequently captured in mobile phone footage filmed by Israeli peace activists. Since the war in Gaza began, local say Moshe is responsible for forcing families, including the Steyas, to leave the Hamra area.

Gee, I wonder which group is trying to steal land because they're not satisfied with the area that they're already occupying. The Trump administration has betrayed this country in more ways than one. Jonathan Pollard, who was convicted for spying on the United States, on behalf of Israel. He worked for the CIA. He served 30 years in prison. I believe he should have upon conviction been given the death penalty. I've obviously changed my opinion on the death penalty because I think if you're a traitor to this country, that should be the punishment, obviously with a conviction.

But you want to know what Jonathan Pollard just a few months ago was bragging about in an interview in Israel. He was bragging about the fact that when Henry Kissinger of all people, trying to rein in Israel's barbarism and threatened U.S. foreign aid unless Israel, you know, maybe calm down a little bit, maybe kill fewer people. He was threatened with nukes. And you want to know what Jonathan Pollard said? Maybe we need to use that threat more often. Against the United States, guys, against the United States. Jonathan Pollard was released when he should have served his entire life in prison,

but he was released after 30 years. And he had very strict parole conditions that did not allow him to leave this country. The Trump administration eased those parole restrictions. Pollard got onto Sheldon Aedelson's jets, traveled to Israel, and was warmly embraced by Benjamin Netanyahu. These people are traitors to the country and they have the freaking audacity to point fingers at others.

Don't buy it. We got to take a break. We'll be right back. Al-Qaeda. What contributions to the progressive cause are you most proud of? I mean, I don't have super high aspirations for a singular role that I can play in the movement or anything. I try to present myself as what I think that I am, which is a progressive man who is driven by a, I think, well-interrogated and well-organized system of values that I try to stay consistent on, and I demonstrate that that's the sort of life that a person can lead. And be successful and be happy and all of that. And that should not need to be done, but there are so many people on the right that are trying to push men in the opposite direction that I want to be able to do that. Along the way, if I can get people to care about some topics that not that they wouldn't necessarily care about, or that for some men, they might think that's not a topic that they should be focused on, that's definitely something that I relish doing.

And along the way, I mean, we've been able to introduce people to a lot of candidates. That's been a big part of what we've done. You know, not all of them necessarily got in office. Probably most of them did not. And a lot of them, you might not even remember their names. But it was great to be. able to provide people the platform where they had the chance of, you know, making a difference. Obviously AOC and all that, but there's been a lot of great people along the way. He's taking apart a keyboard. Who has a mouse pad that's this big? He's got a dog with a nose that you can hang something like. You know what this desk screams to me? Nerd. And that's how we like him. We love Johnny Pye. He's got his own personality like everybody does at T.YT. Come meet us all in the bonus episodes. TYT.com slash team. David Soror. Anita Turner. Is Adam Green Drop by? Charlamine. Congressman, great to have you. It's great to be with you, Chang. Your show is a great thing. You're informing people. A lot of the shows that I live on. You know, I like. CNN and my MSNBC and even Fox and any of the other shows, NPR. They are so quick to decide that they know what this building means today.

The one thing that I hate that politicians do, you know, they talk about the people they should be talking to. Do they have any idea that they're their establishment and that they're hated or do they not realize that at all? People are so deeply in their little universe. I think it's very easy to not really question what you're doing. Voters have a right to ask questions of any nominee, whether they're independent, Republican, or Democrat. The system is monopoly that suppresses competition. How is it the year 2024? And we're still like, maybe they'll talk about pain medical. How is that like at one level it's like, good, what we're talking about it now.

You're like, it's 2024. And that's always been the critique, that your critique of us is, well, you guys give good speeches. You put out of good tweets, but you're not wielding actual power. Now we're starting to. news platform by far. It's not even close. It's not a country and a principle and that's what you and I both work to achieve. And I'm so glad that at least half the battle has now been one. If you want to go really hear what's going on honestly, you should tune in to the young turks. Thanks for doing such a great job.

Welcome to the Interest, Jake U Granite, comparing with you guys, at least at the second hour here. Also CD on Norse Dogdad as usual. Thank you for gifting a membership. We appreciate all you guys. I'm gonna tell you how we appreciate you more in a second, but I gotta tell you first, my god, this hour is going to be awesome, okay?

The only fan story is unbelievable. Jewish Republican story and where are they gonna put their money? It's a story out of political. Amazing, wonderful confessions in there. So make sure you're around for that. So tonight we got somebody running for governor of California who's going to join us. That should be super interesting. And so on the revolution, the show that he's joining on at 8 o'clock Eastern, yeah, we were doing a campaign about Muhammad Ibrahim.

He was a 15 year old kid who was taken by the Israeli military put into one of their gulags, one of the worst prisons they have. He lost 30% of his body weight, got escapies, untreated. It was just an epic disaster. And of course, our government doesn't care about Americans at all. So they had to be pushed and pushed. And we asked you guys to help push. We had his uncle on a couple times, Zaid Kudur, who lives, of course, here in America. And oh my God, it happened.

They released them. And it was because of pressure from the American side. and they released them on Thanksgiving. So look, we were part of a larger puzzle and on Chris Van Hollen, Senator Van Hollen from Maryland was amazing and we love him for that. But guys, every one of you that helped, you made a difference, you made a difference. I love you guys. So thank you for doing that.

We appreciate it. Obviously the Abraham family appreciates it deeply. There's a beautiful moment we showed yesterday at 8 o'clock. We all have a whole channel dedicated to this now. The revolution, the U is Y, oh, you get it. Okay, like as in your revolution. So anyways, in that channel, we have every one of the episodes. Make sure you're checking it out.

It's on YouTube. And we showed the video of the dad reuniting with his son. It's a beautiful moment. And I want to thank all of you guys from the bottom of my heart for fighting for that and forgetting it. Okay, Casper, let's do it. Well, Dan Bongino is a sad boy. And I want to tell you why. I want to tell you what's been going on with the FBI.

It's not just about Bongino. Cash Patel's been having a real rough go at things. And it kind of revolves around even right-wing papers now criticizing them. So let's get into the details. Deputy FBI director Dan Bongino is in his feelings a little bit these days. And he is lashing out publicly following a scathing New York Post piece. Pretty damning report. and it was published by someone who's actually a Trump supporter.

Her name is Miranda Devine, but she's willing to report the truth to her credit. And so the piece that I'm referring to was something we talked about on the show this week. Damning Report labels FBI rudderless ship under Cash Patel, with him and Dan Bongino more concerned with building personal resumes. Now, we shared the initial story with you, but I do want to talk a little bit about the briefings. reactions from Bongino in particular, because he's also getting shellacked by members of Trump's base over his role in redacting the Epstein files.

In fact, these redactions started taking place way earlier in Trump's second term than most people realize. So, Jank, you're two cents before we get to the details. Yeah, so on t.com, we're asking you, do you think the Dan Bongino wants to hide or release the files? Now, it seems like after you hear this is going to seem like hide. But then at the end, I'm going to make a case for maybe it's not. So hang around until the end before you vote. Go ahead. So let's get to the specific excerpts from Miranda Devine's piece who broke this story in a New York Post column.

She says that a troubling new report card on the first six months of Patel's leadership, it concludes he is in over his head. I think that's pretty obvious. and his deputy, Dan Bongino, is something of a clown. Both he and Bongino were criticized for arrogance and an unfortunate obsession with social media. Well, them and corporate media both. One source said they need to stop talking, stop talking, stop posing, and just be professional. Another said they are spending too much time on social media and public relations.

and are too often concerned with building their own personal resumes. Now, Devine noted that the alliance concluded their report by advising the notoriously thin-skinned Patel and Bongino to heed their criticism if they want to succeed. But Dan Bongino wasn't really having that. He's been very upset about this reporting. And so he did post about it on social media. I want to give you a little taste. She says, or he says, deep state divine strikes again.

Miranda loves attacking our reform agenda with gossipy anecdotes from disgruntled former employees because she's like, you guys are incompetent and it's obvious. Like it shows you have to at least have a little bit of self-awareness. Like this is a woman who voted for Trump and writes for the New York Post. Okay, this isn't Jacobin. Like, what are we doing here? This is not a deep state individual, and we're not talking about disgruntled employees. We didn't even have to hear from anyone from the FBI.

We can just see with our own two eyes and hear with our ears. And so let me give you the rest of the statement. Let me be fair to him. He also says that she, because she's upset that her reporting keeps falling apart under scrutiny, I mean, it hasn't happened yet. You can always count on Miranda for a timed hit piece when the director and I make big changes, Miranda prefers the old guard. I don't, full steam ahead.

Bro, we haven't heard from you in months. Like, I love that he's kind of presenting himself as someone who's like a mover and shaker in the FBI. Now, she did confirm that the sources she used in her piece were legit and not part of some deep state cabal. She said as much on Laura Ingram's show, we don't need to go to the video, but she did say that. Also, it's rich to call her report gossip when this is, How she, you know, this is how he acted on Fox and Friends just two months ago after being sworn in. This is like one of my favorite videos. Take a look. I gave up everything for this. I mean, you know, my wife is struggling.

I'm not a victim. I'm not Jim Comey. It's fine. I did this and I'm proud that I did it. But if you think we're there for tea and crumpets, well, I mean, cash is there all day. We share our offices are linked. He turns on the faucet. I hear it. He's there. He gets in like 6 o'clock in the morning. He doesn't leave till seven at night. You know, I'm in there at 7.30 in the morning. You know, he uses the gym. I work out in my apartment. But I stare at these four walls all day in D.C., you know, by myself,

divorced from my wife, not divorced, but I mean, separated divorce. And it's hard. I mean, you know, we love each other and it's hard to be apart. Okay. Do you want to bring your wife to work? Like, what was that? Well, what? I have to be at work at 7.30 in the morning.

I have to look at more walls. I'm divorced for my wife, not actually divorced, but I have to separate from her to do my job. Like, what is this? Bogino, we didn't need the report from Miranda Devine to know that you're incompetent. Now, before we get to the Epstein files and just how far back the redactions have gone

in Trump's second term, thoughts, shake. Yeah. Do you need mommy to hold your hand while you're at work? You know a lot of- I can hear, I could hear Cash Patel sink. Yeah, what, what does that prove? Okay, you and Cash Patel are next to each other at the office, you could hear the Fawcett. And that's why we shouldn't release the Epstein files. Or you are releasing them, and that's why we shouldn't redact them, but you are redacting them.

What is the Fawcett or your wife holding your hand throughout the day, have anything to do with any of this? I remember when I did a speech anna at the National Press Club, and I lit into mainstream media back in the day. And they were like horrified by it. They were shocked. And then the lady who runs the National Press Club got up and said, you know, we work really hard. Well, no one asked you how hard you work. The problem is the work you do sucks. It tells everyone, oh, politicians are awesome and honest and they're not corrupted by money.

In this case, yeah, brother, I don't give a damn about any of that. Are you going to release it or are you not going to release it? That's the question. Exactly. So let's talk about the Epstein files because this, this was a revelation worth knowing about because last week, Bloomberg revealed that Bonchino was actually looped into emails revealing the Trump administration's sweeping redactions of the Epstein files. Now, as we all know, things got kind of hot recently with a bipartisan effort to release

the Epstein files. And you would think, you know, there's been a cover up taking place. It takes place under Democratic administrations, Republican administrations. But the Trump administration, quite frankly, has done a poor job in being a little more sophisticated and more manipulative when it comes to their cover-up. They just made it very obvious. So you're thinking, okay, well, then they probably started to, like, in a panic, do redactions fairly recently.

But no, that's actually not the case. According to Bloomberg's Jason Leopold, as I reported in March, in March, after a botched rollout of what Attorney General Pam Bondi described as phase one of the release of the Epstein files. FBI director Cash Patel ordered around 1,000, 1,000 FBI special agents to team up with the Bureau's Freedom of Information Act personnel at the FBI facility in Winchester, Virginia to prepare the Epstein files for public release. And by prepare, I mean heavily redact the files. So the army of agents from New York and Washington field offices, along with these FOIA officers, were instructed on how to review and apply the redactions to these documents. In emails Leopold

received, they basically gave him more insight into what those instructions were and just how extensive these redactions happened to be. And so the effort was referred to as the Epstein Transparency Project, when we all know it's actually the opposite. They're not trying to be transparent. They're redacting like crazy. In some instances, they referred to it as the special redaction project. Now, the records Leopold got hold of also reveal the number of hours, the FBI devoted to this project in hiding information from the American people, which required some agents to even work nights and weekends. So maybe that's what on Gino's complaining about. Like he's in the office all day, all night, doing redactions of the very documents.

He pretended to care about releasing when he wasn't in the position of power he's in at the moment. You know, when he was a Fox News host, when he was podcasting. Oh, the Epstein files, the deep state is part of a cover up. Well, now you're part of the cover up. So the FBI paid personnel from various divisions, including counterintelligence and international operations, 851,3004,000, $44 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17th and March 22nd. And that's according to the documents that Leopold got hold of. FBI personnel clocked in a total of 4,737 hours of overtime between January and July. Now, Leopold states that during this period, more than 70% occurred during the month of March

while personnel reviewed the Epstein files. And then on March 18th, Bongino was forwarded. an email related to guidance on the type of redactions to apply. So this is real juicy stuff. What are they being told to, you know, redact? And so this is, this was, by the way, Bongino's second day on the job. Day two, they're pulling him in for guidance on how to redact the Epstein files. Okay, so you can take a look at the email that Leopold was able to get hold of.

I wanted to share the below as we seek guidance. from the GC on the types of redactions to apply to these documents so we can process the right way out of the gate. But, you know, we got to make sure that we protect our people. We got to make sure that we protect our perverts, let's just, and pedophiles. That's what this is about. G.C. by the way, just means general counsel. So it was the FBI's office of the general counsel. Now, it's also important to note that the original email was sent on March 17th and forwarded on March 18th, But questions still remain on what was redacted. So this was also email 21.

It's unclear what other emails were forwarded to Bongino and what was said in those emails. Leopold stated that the FBI withheld 160 pages from him. So we don't have a full picture of Bongino's entire role in this redaction process. And Bongino didn't respond to any of those questions. He did focus on when the email was sent, though, saying that I entered on duty on March 17th. The emails in the chain you see forwarded to me at my request were sent before I began in my position. I wanted to review what have been done before I entered on duty. It was a priority.

And you can see they responded immediately. I'm glad that these emails are available for your review. You look like a hostage when you purported that there were. there were no Epstein files available for release in that pathetic interview that you did with Cash Patel. You both look like hostages. So I don't think people are buying this. And look, the issue isn't with the timing of the emails. The issue is just how extensive and how far back these redactions go within Trump's administration, within his second term. So, Cenk, any final thoughts on this? Yeah. So first of all, apparently they spent all those thousands of hours and over time, our

millions of dollars to get the documents redacted and ready to go in March. So what do we waiting on? Whereas do we need to do a double redaction? What are we redacting now? So, okay, let's just note that for the record. Number two, Bongino, I don't care about your excuses at all, at all. I'm not interested in them. So there's only one thing I'm interested in it.

So you were for releasing the files, then you were against releasing the files. You were for redacting, not redacting them. And now you're for redacting them and you, before you said I've seen was killed in prison, now you say it was a suicide. Which one is it, brother? Which one is it? Were you lying then or are you lying now? Also I'll add in, oh, deep state, deep state.

So where's the deep state? Where is it? I mean, you're inside the belly of the beast now. You can hear Cash Patel's faucet. That's how deep in you are, right? So where's the effing deep state? So were you lying then about a deep state? Or are you lying now to cover up a deep state?

I didn't say deep state, you said it, right? So I did say release the files and so did you. And now all of a sudden, less so, right? So then back to the last thing is the question that we asked Napola on our website, t.com. Is he going to, you know, is he actually trying to release the files or hide the files? Look, Anna, I don't know that Bongino is the guy who wants to hide them the most. I think what's happening is he got in there. He didn't realize what he was going to find.

What he was going to find is that FC was working with an intelligence agency. And now he's not a lot to say it under penalty of law. So that's why he's a hot, sweaty mess. And he doesn't know what to do. And he's like, I want to hold my wife's head. I don't know what to do. So, okay, so I don't know. I don't know what his intent is.

And what's going to happen when he leaves office, whether it's sometime during the term or afterwards, is that he's going to go back to being probably a talk show host. And when he does, his audience is going to roar and say, all right, brother, which one is it? And what happened inside there, right? And if he doesn't tell him anything, then he's useless and his career will be over. So I don't know, is he going to want to rescue his career after he leaves office? Maybe, maybe not. Can he rescue it without while being a stooge for the establishment?

I don't know. Yeah, I mean, look, I don't think that he alone unilaterally was going to be able to do a damn thing. I think anyone who's smart enough and knows how these things go could have predicted that he was going to run into a brick wall when it came to the transparency of the Epstein files. But I can't help but think about all the various things he said about the Epstein cover up when he wasn't in a position of power. and he was incredibly vicious to, you know, Biden's administration, to any administration that refused to release the files. You know, as soon as he started finally talking about it publicly on his show. So what would I do in that situation?

I would resign, but he doesn't want to resign, right? He likes the position of power, so he's going to go along with it. By the way, I have to correct myself because I misspoke. I had mentioned that that email was sent on the 17th. It was actually sent on March 11th and then forwarded to Bonjino on March 18th. Just wanted to clarify that. Go ahead, Jake. Yeah, so I think that that Bongino is not the guy who's holding things up, but you said,

you'd resign. You could do one better. You could pull on Edward Snowden and be an American hero, but that would mean that you would be uncomfortable. And apparently Bonjino and Cash love their comfort. So they're not going to risk being a hero. Instead, they're probably going to go along with the cover up. And that's certainly what it looks like right now.

Yeah, I think you're right about that. All right, we've got to take a break. But when we come back, we'll talk about how the pro-Israel mega donors have their site set on Vice President J.D. Vance, one of Jenks' favorite stories. You don't want to miss the details on that. We'll be right back. All right, let's go to Deb, let's go to super chat first.

Deb and Mills says people are promoted until they're incompetent. Sometimes in the Trump administration, they're promoted because they're incompetent. DJ Payne 1, 2, 3, 6 is, when you think you've heard or seen it all, in this day and age, it just gets worse. It makes me despise the political corruption even more. Sometimes I have to give myself a break, but I know doing nothing solves nothing. Yeah, it's super frustrating. You know, today Donald Trump pardoned Henry Queer. Why?

Because he loves corruption. And Hakeem Jeffries was like, yes, I love corruption too, brother. So I don't know if they got together and hugged and no, yes, corruption, let's take more bribes, right? Uniparties thrilled about it. So this is draining the swamp? No. So yeah, I know. It gets hard, right?

And wrong forever on the throne. But truth forever on the scaffold. And that scaffold sues the future. So hang in there, guys. We've done a lot of miraculous things. Look, you know, again, a small part of it, but we tried. And we, all of us collectively together made a difference. We got an American kid out of an Israeli gulag.

The Israelis usually don't, like, never listen to America, ever, ever, right? They've murdered now about nine Americans in the last five years, and whenever America asked for accountability, they're like, no, no, F off, you're irrelevant to us. But we work together to at least rescue one American kid from the clutches of the Israelis. Sheda Dadan says, too much democracy in our news is a problem for democracy, Hillary Clinton, in 2025, 100%. Look, guys, I didn't get to be part of that story, but I, and Hillary Clinton was amazing.

They're all the same. They're all zombies. They're like, they're brainwashed, like, oh, yeah, they don't know real history. Real history is that the Muslims are dirty and savages and should all be murdered by our beloved Israel, which is a moral actor that happened to murder 70,000 of them and take half of Gaza. But you young Jewish kids, being moral and learning all the right lessons for Jews, from Judaism? How dare you? You should be pro genocide. No, no, the kids didn't miss anything.

It's the depraved, sick, older political generation that's like, oh, if you don't take bribes from Israel, you're depraved. No, you're depraved for taking bribes from Israel and serving them loyally all these years. The Clintons, oh my God, oh, the Clintons adore Israel. Why? an enormous number of their donors were pro-Israel donors. Haim Saban, no one ever talks about him, massive, massive democratic donor. Only one ask that I've ever read about in the press, Israel, bow to Israel. And the Clintons are like, oh, we'd love to, we love new propaganda for Israel. Oh, why won't the young listen to our brainwashing anymore?

We lost control of media. Now the kids find out the truth. I'm so sorry, Israel, we'll do better. So apparently that was my views on that story. Titan and Olympus 03 in YouTube member section says, seeing these people allowed to do this with the blessing of our goodwill and tax house makes me so sick. Our country faces collapse while we support evil garbage like that.

Disgusting, well, that's obviously true. But the most disgusting people on earth are corrupt politicians and media that serve the goal of genocide enthusiastically. Zach Wendelberger 2965 says the American dream as it was laid out for the previous generation is not achievable in any way fix it. Zach, you're absolutely right. It's all of our jobs to collectively fix it because it is broken and we've certainly recognize that.

All right on TY t-y-jank Anna at Alpha Ibrahim Oso-992-0. Thank you for hitting that big, beautiful join button below the video on YouTube. Everybody else, you can do it at t-y-t.com slash join. Would we appreciate it? Definitely. Could it be a Christmas president? Sure. Are you going to get 20% off of shop t-y-t.com right now if you use the promo code. Thanks. Yes. Anna, what's next? Well, what's next is this. Sheldon was the greatest influence the Jewish people had in the White House. Not only in Trump's time, but in Biden's time and all the other times, he was the person, a one-man state department. for Israel, and we can't say enough about him.

Well, in that case, good thing he's dead. Now, billionaire, what's his name? Ronald Lauder stated that megadoner, Sheldon Aedelson, was a one-man state department for Israel. And now other pro-Israel megadoners are essentially trying to win over Vice President J.D. Vance. I don't really think they need to do all that much to win them over. I know that people have diluted themselves into thinking that he's actually against U.S. involvement with Israel, at least to the extent that we're involved right now. I don't really believe him. But, Jank, what are your two cents?

Yeah, Sheldon and Mary Madelson's are cancer in this country and our politics. They're the most toxic couple, maybe in the history of American politics. I'm going to explain why in a minute. Are they going to try to buy J.D. Vance? Of course. So will he be bought? Almost certainly. But guys, the most amazing part of this story is the confessions. We're going to read you a bunch of quotes here from Republican Jewish donors about how they plan on purchasing our government. So don't miss that. Yeah, they tell on themselves all the time. Now, here's an excerpt from a recent political piece diving into this. Nick Musen, a lobbyist and former staffer for Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Tim Scott, said there is a lot of outreach. toward Vance from the Jewish donor class over his position on Israel.

So they're working overtime to buy him. There's no question about that. Now, Muzin stated that he's newer, he's younger, and he doesn't have as much of a track record on Israel. So there's a little less comfort with him, although obviously we are working hard to build those relationships. Now, the piece that I'm referring to is in Politico titled Top Jewish Donors Take Stock of GOP infighting over Israel and anti-Semitism.

They're getting a little nervous as young conservatives are moving away from just unmitigated support for Israel, regardless of what they're up to, regardless of how they treat America, regardless of how much of our resources go toward their country as they carry out atrocities. Now, according to the report, top pro-Israel donors feel that the Democratic Party has already allowed anti-Semitism to seep into its mainstream, I would venture to say that Israel's atrocities has caused people in this country, both on the left and right, to not want to do anything with Israel, not want to actually ally this country with Israel. But let me move on. They also fear that the same is currently starting to take place with the Republican Party. So, of course,

Tucker Carlson is going to come up. Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes are kind of at the heart of the arguments that the pro-Israel donor class is outraged about. And an anonymous major Jewish Republican donor said that Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz, Tucker Carlson had Ted Cruz, has Ted Cruz on who supports Israel, and he just rips into him for a long time. It was quite savage. It was quite awesome. He has Nick Fuentes on, and it was a lap dance. I wouldn't call it a lap dance, but I think it's fair to say that he was much harder on Senator Ted Cruz than he was on Nick Fuentes, but to say that he didn't challenge Nick Fuentes is also a lie. The rest of the comment is anti-Israel, anti-Semitic,

that gets conflated. A lot of them hide behind anti-Israel. And it's very hard to prove because you truly should be allowed to be critical of Israel. Should we? They're not just anti-Israel. I think they hide behind free speech, they hide behind isolationism. I think there's a fair amount of just classic anti-Semitism going on. And you know, Jank, we're very familiar with the right wing in America. They're very good at hiding when they hate groups of people. They're really good at concealing their bigotry or racism and stuff like that. They don't ever just come out and say it, right? Yeah. So, okay, I want to break down some of the quotes. I read for you. you and give you more quotes, because here's the confessions. First of all, on the musing

quote that Anna read you about buying J.D. Vance, they emphasize that he's newer and younger, so it doesn't have enough of a track record. You know how we tell you all the time on the Young Turks? The reason why we have so many old politicians is because the donors know they can get a return on investment. They've given to that person many times before, and their bribes have worked every time. They're totally craven and we'll do whatever donors say. So for the younger politicians, you see here, they literally say it, they don't have as much of a track record of being corrupt, so we're not sure that we can bet on them. That's an amazing confession. We appreciate it. Okay. Now, Ari Fleischer also talked about J.D. Vance, and he's, of course,

the former communications director for George W. Bush and a stalwart in the Republican Party. And he said that first before, J.D. Vance, he said, the response to anti-Semitism will be, this is from Politico, will be, quote, one of these issues that's going to do. define the Republican presidential primary. Now first, why? Like, shouldn't housing or the cost of drugs or wages or affordability be either the defining issue in either party? They're like, no, no, no, none of that matters. What you think of Israel is the defining issue. If you support Israel, then we're going to give you tons of money. If you don't, we don't give a damn about affordability or average Americans, then we're not going to support you. It is the defining issue.

you for the confession. He then says about Vance particularly, J.D. Vance is going to have to earn it like everybody else and be very curious to see what he has to say. So he's saying, we're watching you, you better be pro-Israel. If you're not, there's going to be consequences. Okay, all right, thank you for the confession. Now, the reason they're panicked Anna, as you know, is that now about 60% of the country is against the Israeli government. And they think that they're atrocious, etc. So that's a huge problem because the Israelis want to pretend that the Americans are in favor of genocide and in favor of Israel and funding them, et cetera. And among the Republicans, they've lost even more. And for Republicans under 50, which they're

calling young, but that's really most of the people, not most of the voters necessarily, but most of the citizens, under 50, they lost 15 points just in the last year or so. So negative views of Israel have jumped from 35 to 50%, so they're in a bit of a panic. And in fact, they're starting to call Republicans Nazis. They said, one of the sources here said that the Republicans have a quote unquote Nazi problem. And that is a hell of a charge. And I wonder how Republican voters feel about their so-called Nazi problem. And they say they feel these very wealthy, in this case Jewish donors are saying that they feel

They feel politically homeless. They're like, we used to give a lot of money to the Democrats and they would do whatever we told them. And now they're in a little bit of a rebellion. So we obviously turned the Republicans to buy them. And now they are slightly against Israel. So obviously they're all Nazis and we don't know who to buy anymore. Oh God, my heart breaks for you. That's so hard.

How do you, who do you bribe and how much do you bribe them with? And they're worried about the influence of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. One of them said it's incredible how much influence, how far they've been able to penetrate, just with Tucker And Candace, I'm glad that they, they've got you worried. That's a beautiful thing that they have you worried because you're in the middle of buying our country and I don't think we should be able to. So now, Anna, I have more, but so far, isn't it amazing all the things that they're already saying? I mean, there's way more, but, and look at what he's saying about Sheldon Aedelson. Louder is one of the wealthier men in the country.

You know, louder, the makeup company, he owns that. And he's saying he was a one man state department. Why? Because they've all said this out loud. Even traditional media was forced to cover it. So Sheldon Adelson gave $200 million to Donald Trump. After he passed away, his wife gave him another $137 million. And in return, one of the things they wanted was to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

That's what Israel has wanted for a long time. for a long time, but it's unsettling and it could cause problems for us, right? And Trump said, oh yeah, I moved it for Sheldon. That's a bribe, dude. You gave a foreign policy to a guy who's a supporter of traitors. Now that sounds like it's harsh talk. And then when I said about them being a cancer, no, but in this context is provable. So Sheldon Aedelson also lobbied to get Jonathan Pollard released back to Israel. And Trump also gave him that. Then Sheldon Aedelson flew out That traitor Jonathan Pollard, one of the worst traders in American history in his private jet in luxury,

back to beloved Israel. Attle boy, way to betray America. But don't worry, I bought the politicians and I bought Trump. So you get to betray America all you want because our real, real home is Israel. Mary Madison, by the way, also an Israeli citizen. And she's allowed to purchase the president. It's disgusting. Thank you for all the confessions.

Is he the guy behind Estee Lauder? Yeah. Thank God I don't have any of those, boycott those products. Anyway, that's the only comment. I'm not surprised by any of this. I'm not surprised by anything. The final thing I'll say, and then we've got to go, Jake, please, please, we've got to go. We've got to do one more story at least.

I am not surprised by anything that comes out of the mouths of pro-Israeli, you know, donors or people who are in this country for whatever reason, but they seem to value Israel way more than our own country. Nothing surprises me with them. But I think that we're finally kind of reaching an era where Americans are able to get informed about what's really going on with our government. So if J.D. Vance wants to take the money and be a lap dog for a foreign country have at it. But people are paying attention. And I'm not talking about Democrats. I'm not even talking about independents. I mean, they are paying attention. But in this case, what's relevant is right-wing voters are paying attention.

Young conservatives are paying attention. And so the same issue that Kamala Harris ran into while she was campaigning in the last election cycle where activists were showing up to her events and asking her tough questions about APAC and what her plans are with Israel, I think that's going to start happening with Republican candidates as well.

Because look, the money is sweet, but sometimes the money can't save you. The money certainly didn't save Kamala Harris. She outraised Trump and she lost. Yeah, big time. Yeah, I gotta give two more quotes. So Lindsey Graham said, but if you ever run for office as a Republican and you embrace this weird crap, meaning against Israel, we're going to beat your brains out. And then Gabriel Groiseman, a GOP donor in Florida, said he and other top Jewish donors are going to, quote, put all our efforts into making sure those people don't get into positions of power. And he talked about how they're going to use their bullhorn to make sure that, No one who opposes them ever gets elected. So don't tell me they're not trying to buy our politicians because they just told us that they are.

They're literally actively trying to buy off J.D. Vance, Donald Trump, and every politician. And if you dare to criticize Israel, they're gonna call you an anti-Semite, say you're hiding behind free speech, and try to destroy your career. This is why Congress serves Israel. Thank you for the confession. The IRS watches porn when we return. All right, back on TYT, shop TYT has 20% off. Don't miss it, you crazy dog.

promo code is thanks, box ass on super chat, can we just please get representatives that don't get bought and paid after taking office? Well, as long as this system is in place, no, the answer is no. You have to change the coding. You have to change the rules, which in our case is the Constitution in order to get the right results. Now, there's nothing wrong with the Constitution, but the Supreme Court cheated and said, oh, freedom of speech means you're allowed to do unlimited bribery.

The Supreme Court is deeply corrupt and works for corporate, basically multinational corporations. They did a whole plot. David Serota has master plan, his new book that explains it. In my book, I also talked about it. It's at the very, very core of what has happened in this country to corrupt our country on purpose. And by the way, guys, that's not about Israel. That was about the Chamber of Commerce. And they wanted to be able to bribe any politicians because they have more money than the average

guy and they did and the Supreme Court let them and and so of course I write all about an injustice coming I also write about Sheldon Aedelson and all the different things that Donald Trump gave him I mean it was a you know enormous betrayal of the American people what Trump did for the Aedelson's and for Israel it's it's disgusting it was the most obvious bribe of all time and he sold out our literally sold our foreign policy but but all of them do Biden's Number one, donor, as you all knows, A-PAC, and he sold our foreign policy for the same exact reason. Mark Francis 0764, thank you for the super chat. Dave Mill writes back in, avoid entitlements and foreign conflicts.

George Washington's farewell address, advice, I wish the political class would follow. But guys, so to finish the earlier point, but if you go above the Supreme Court's head and you do a Constitution Amendment that says, no, bribery is not legal, you are not allowed to give money in politics. And corporations are not human beings, you jackasses, you knit wits, you absurdities, okay? So you do that constitutional amendment, which over 90% of Americans agree with, and we get our country back, and we get our government back, we get our democracy back, they don't have to serve foreign governments, they don't have to serve corporations. All right, Lady AF says these grocery prices are pissing me off. I started using the word the groceries.

Yeah, Trump is so, such a dumbass elitist. He's like, the groceries is an old word, okay, but it's a good word. It's not an old word. What do you, that's because he's never had to shop for groceries in his life. So it's like groceries, I've never, I've never used the word. My maids and butlers use the word, I guess. It's old school. Okay, um, Nord Ferguson writes in on t.yt.com member section.

I had to work at 7.30. I couldn't stay up and watch SCIS. When I went to lunch break cash was busy, so I had to sit by myself. And also the Kyrgyn the break room only had breakfast blend coffee. Work is so hard. I'm so upset, oh my God. Helen 007 said everything about J.D. Vance is fake. If they give him enough money, he will probably convert for them. But I agree 100% with Anna.

Yeah, he will. He's a sell-out to hold his, he was created in a lab by Peter Thiel. He sure was. He was built to sell out. That's the whole point of J.D. Vance. So will he sell out to sell out to the Israelis? Definitely. Will it cost them the election? Definitely. Okay. So all you need is one honest Republican candidate. You know, you could disagree with his opinions. If he doesn't sell out to Israel, he wins the primary hands down. It's what it means like the stomach is speaking, bacon, things going up. Back on TYT, Janganana, go. All right, we got to talk about, I don't see it in my dock.

What is going on? I should have printed it out. Give me a second. I'm looking for it. I'm looking for it. Pessimistic, progressive road in. Just reminded that Israel Haim, the outlet host in the conference where Hillary was speaking, is owned by Miriam Edelson.

Disgusting. I didn't know that. Thank you for that piece of information. But that's what the Clintons do. They elage themselves in the sphincter of all the radical pro-Israeli people. Oh, Edelson, Saban. Oh, love you. Okay, let's move on, please. All right, go ahead.

Yep, okay. So, final story for you all. So the IRS could be getting paid to watch sexually explicit content to determine whether only fans accounts apply for or qualify for, for the whole no tax on tip situation, because it turns out that, you know, pornographic material does not qualify under this new tax law. And so believe it or not, I mean, I don't personally spend a lot of time on OnlyFans, so I didn't know this, but OnlyFans isn't just creators who put out sexually explicit content. They're chefs on there, apparently, which is like the most

shocking thing I've heard in my life. But, Jake, what are your two cents? Yeah, so amazing facts in this story. I'm a total boomer on only fans. I know nothing about it. I read it for the articles. No, seriously, I don't, but I found out a lot and I can't wait to share it with you guys. How many people are on only fans? What percentage of the country watches porn? At what age do you stop watching porn? Super interesting. Let's tell you. All right, so as we know over the summer, President Trump and the Republican Party passed this huge tax cut bill known as the so-called big beautiful bill, also cut funding for social services like Medicaid, but nonetheless, part of this bill would be a tax deduction for, or tips would not be taxed at a certain

amount, right? So to avoid any economy-wide shift of earnings into tips, the IRS and Treasury have had to impose some limits. Only people who work jobs that have customarily and regularly received tips can claim the deduction. So on the list of nearly 70 eligible occupations detailed in a proposed regulation in September were digital content creators, entertainers and performers and dancers, categories that at first blush seem as if they could be a boon for America's sex workers. But it turns out that's not the case because the Trump administration also added that tips for prostitution or pornographic activity would not be entitled to this new tax break. So that's the complication here. And when it comes to OnlyFans and because of the nature

of the platform and the diversity of content on that platform, it turns out IRS agents are really going to have to look at the accounts to determine whether they qualify for this tax break at all. So again, even though OnlyFans is typically associated with sexually explicit content, there are people on there who do other occupations like chefs, fitness trainers, musicians, and comedians, which look, up to you where you want to upload your content. I just, I wonder why OnlyFans is the platform they decided on uploading to, considering what Only fans is kind of known for. Now, there's no official data on the number of creators who exclusively produce sexual content, but that leads to the other issue. What even is considered sexual content? What if it's

a streamer who doesn't get naked, but wears provocative clothing? Is that considered sexual content? Who knows? So it's unclear whether, let's say, I don't even know if this word is considered okay to use anymore, but I don't know what else I would call them. Provocative dancers, okay? Provocative dancers in various states of undress, would they be considered ineligible to take advantage of this tax break? We don't know. Our feet pictures considered pornographic.

I mean, it is material that some men use to, you know, get their rocks off, but like, is that considered pornographic content? So writing in 1964, the Supreme Court Justice, Potter Stewart, famously declined to try to define the term instead admitting, I know it when I see it. And that's exactly what IRS agents are going to have to do. So whether or not the IRS tries to come up with its own definition of pornographic activity, enforcing the inclusion would most likely involve or still involve auditing taxpayers who report tips from sources like Onlyfans. An IRS agent would have to view a taxpayer's content, decide if it was

pornographic and then deny the deduction for tips, which is, by the way, capped at $25,000. Ultimately, it would be the subjective determination of an IRS examiner or a tax court judge. Sometimes you look at something and it's clearly pornography, but sometimes you look at something and you think, eh, it's subjective. Somebody might be really into it. Now, the adult entertainment industry workers are also worried that this is going to lead to a clamp down on sex work. I don't think that's necessarily true. I think this is just really about ensuring that people who don't qualify for a tax deduction don't claim it on their taxes. But I'm curious what you think, Jenk.

Yeah, so many parts of this story are so interesting. First of all, a lot of crying about being able to implement this. This is actually one of the few good things in that bill. Most of the overwhelming majority of the bill is giant giveaways to the rich, right? But no tax on tips, it's a good thing, right? And we're like, oh, but we don't know who to apply it to. And now people say, should we give it to Santa Claus performers, clergy, eyelash technicians, chiropractice, pet groomers, which by the way, sounds a little dirty. So I say, so what?

When it's complicated and it's a tax break for collateralized debt obligations, nobody complains that it's too complicated. They get that done right away, right? So that's just a side note real quick. Then the conservatives asked Trump to exclude porn, as Anna explained to you guys and sex work. That's actually a huge development in the right wing. They're back to trying to ban porn. If I was them, I wouldn't want to die on that hill. But they decided to do that.

But then they have a second problem. So they're like, yeah, porn is very bad. And that's why the president who slept with a porn actress. has banned it from this particular provision, okay? But on the other hand, hypocrisy has never stopped Donald Trump. Okay, now when you get to only fans, I didn't know there was cooking in yoga on only fans either, right? And so why am I such a boomer on this?

Because I'm a public figure, the minute you sign up for something, everybody gonna know, right? It's not like I'm like super moral or anything in that regard. And I don't even view it as a form of morality. I'd reject it as a form of morality, but anyways, but then, you know, when you get it to the, like, okay, feet could be porn, but elbow isn't porn, but then if you're doing yoga, you could do it in a non-provocative way, or you can really get downward on that dog, right? If you're cooking for a while, China banned women from eating fruit, particularly bananas on camera, because they had started a whole cottage industry of eating bananas. in fascinating ways, right? So now, Anna, I got to, before we're on the time, I got to tell you all the amazing numbers. So it turns out- Politicians, hold on, hold on, our politicians eat the banana in front of our faces all day, our day, okay? Let's just keep it real. Right. I mean,

I love that, but go ahead. Yeah, the porn we should ban is when Netanyahu comes to the White House and Congress, and they all, anyway, you get it. So, so, so, so, People spend $7.2 million a year on OnlyFans. Now that sounds low, right? Yeah, because I've made that up. It's actually $7.2 billion just last year. That's an astounding number. Astounding.

All right, how many people are on OnlyFans? 4.6 million creators. That's 4.6 million people doing the downward dog business and all the feet business and everything else. 377 million fan accounts. That's more than the number of people that live in America. So obviously they have international audience as well, but that is a monster number. But wait, the porn numbers are even more interesting. Turns out 67% of men watch porn.

And I don't know if you read this part. You know what percentage of women watch porn? I don't know. Let me take a stab at it, though. I think it's a higher percentage than most people think. 60. Whoa, men are 67 and women are 60? Men are not 67.

Are you insane? That's 100%. That's what the numbers say, okay. To me it feels like 97, but okay, they say 67. Anyways, for women, it's 41% of women watch porn. I'm actually kind of stunned by it. That's a big number, huge number. Last two here.

So the age of people that stop watching porn kind of on average, etc. Well, 18 to 25 year olds watch, 57% of them watch porn, men and women, okay? 57%. 26 and older, it drops all the way down to 29%. So apparently 25 is the magic age where you go, maybe I'll just watch the yoga or the cooking show. Oh, I'm also surprised by that. So a lot of surprising things in this, but let them go, let them go. If they're not making a lot of money, which a lot of people on OnlyFans are. But if they're under the 150,000, I wouldn't have done this provision. But the provision passed, it is what it is. So now the IRS will have to watch some porn. Oh, golly, gee, I'm sure you're twisting their arm to determine

if that's truly porn or not. It'll be okay. You'll survive. Agreed. Okay, when we come back, someone running for governor of California, who's a transhumanist. What does that mean and what sports should they be allowed to play when we return. We're going to be able to be. I'm going to be able to be. You know, So, I'm going to be able to be.

Thank you. Thank you. All right, welcome to the revolution, okay, where we're trying to create a situation where we can get our government back from the donor class. Well, we're interviewing some interesting folks here, and they all have their different ways of doing that revolution. And joining me today, Zoltan Isfan, he's running for governor of California, and he has a bold agenda. So I want to hear about it, and I want to see if that's the way to go. And this governor's race is all of a sudden wide open. So Zoltan, welcome to the show.

How you doing, brother? Great. Thanks much for having me. Yeah, no problem. So you're running as an independent? No, I'm actually running as a Democrat. Definitely a Democrat this time. Oh, this time a Democrat.

Okay. So, and obviously it's a little hard to win if you're not a Democrat in California, right? That makes a difference. That's the main thing. But let me just say, I'm not really too much of a party person. I just believe in trying to govern and do the best for the people. Yeah. How dare you? You founded the transhumanist party. So talk to me about that. What is that? And what sports should you guys be allowed to play? Sure. Well, you know, transhumanism is a social movement. Now many millions of people around the world that want to use radical technology to alter the human body, alter the human experience. And the transhumanist party was started as a science political party in 2014 when I was running for the U.S. presidency there. I was a nominated candidate. And honestly, we never had a shot of winning, but we wanted to send out a message. And that message was that science and technology are wonderful conductors of politics. And if you can use them properly, you can actually change the way people live for the better. And we were trying to make candidates talk about AI, genetic engineering, things like that. That's really what that presidential candidacy was about as well as the Transhumanist Party. But however, I'm now running as a Democrat, middle of the road centric in the Bill Clinton style.

So it's quite a long time from 10 years ago. Okay, I hear you on that, but it's interesting. So I'm gonna ask you a couple more questions and then we'll get to what you're doing these days. So it says that the party's animated by reason, science, and secular values. So that sounds pretty good. I like secular values, I like science and reason. I love that in fact. And then it wanted to reduce and eliminate various existential risks to the human species.

So what are those risks? And it leads naturally into this particular run now you have for governor. Like, are you worried about AI or are you excited about AI? So talk to me about how technology is interacting with not just the human species, but our economy and everything else that's going on now. Sure, and just, you know, to be honest, I uphold most of the values I had 10 years ago. I'm pretty much the same guy. And when I'm running a campaign, I like to think of it as I'm running on the scientific method, this idea that you test a bunch of ideas. and the one that works is the best, but those ideas can change.

And I think as you notice, society, the world, America, California, it's all changing. And so we need a politician that's able to adjust. And I hope I can be that person that adjust. But let's say, you know, take what you said with existential risk. Existential risk is the idea that an asteroid might hit the plan. Ten years ago, we didn't have much funding for it. We have a little bit more now. Or artificial intelligence, a super intelligent.

I just finished my graduate degree at the University of Oxford, specializing in AI ethics. I mean, it's very possible that we have a superintelligence here in two, three, four years. That's, you know, maybe a thousand times smarter than us. That is a huge existential risk. So transhumanism tries to address a lot of those issues. And I'm also trying to address some of those issues in my gubernatorial run. Yeah. All right, so let's do it.

Let's talk about AI as a particular case. I mean, California is the very, very center of it. So if you were governor, would you relax the regulations? Would you make the regulations tighter? What would you do? Well, regarding AI, it would probably relax any regulations. The thing is, we need to beat the Chinese. However, when it comes to superintelligence, then I might be a bit more cautious.

But look, the Chinese, the Russians, other countries around the world are racing to create artificial intelligence. And if they create the first AGI or intelligence that's equal to us, that'll be hugely damaging. The reason is because eventually they get to an AI that's so smart, they tell that AI, send viruses all across America and our traffic lights don't work. Our natural gas doesn't work. Our water doesn't come out of our pipes.

So we need to win the AI race. It's like there's an imperative to doing this. And I think in that sense, lessening regulation in the AI world is important for Americans so that we can make sure we win that race. That said, when it comes to, once we've won it, we need to be really careful that all of a sudden, you know, we don't create a superintelligence that somehow creates a dark world for us. Maybe it's too smart.

Maybe it's Terminator-like. I mean, that's where it gets dangerous. And the future is in me can go on all day about those kinds of things. But, you know, the gubernatorial candidate doesn't really bring up superintelligence in the race. It pulls terribly, even if it's a real issue. Okay, I got to keep asking because you say these interesting things. I have to confess that I don't know the difference between AI and superintelligence. Help me understand that.

Sure, and AI is what we have now, like ChatGBT, and then there's AGI, artificial general intelligence. That's intelligence that's equal to you and I, and then there's super intelligence. Something that would be classified is at least 10 times smarter than Albert Einstein, for example, or something like they're the smartest person on the planet. And I was recently at a party in a mansion in San Francisco overlooking the Golden Gay Bridge. And it was crazy. It was like 80 people there. They invited many of the AI experts around the world, as well as a lot of programmers from Chad GPT and Microsoft and everywhere.

And virtually everyone believed that the AI superintelligence was going to be here within two to three at the most four years. And again, I can't, you know, not to scare your listeners, but I can't say this enough. If there's something out there that's smarter than us, it's almost like inviting aliens to planet Earth. Humans would never invite aliens that are more powerful than us to planet Earth because game theory would suggest there's a 50-50 shot that they might destroy us. So this presents a huge problem for us. And this is exactly what we're doing by creating superintelligence. So yes, on one hand, we need to win the race to AI because we don't want to totalize. government like China holding all the cards.

But at the same time, we're almost on the Titanic, all of us, this sinking ship bound to hit an iceberg. And then we're going to rush to it and create the superintelligence, which might also end us. It's a catch-22. I'm not sure which is the worst path. It would be best to say, oh, let's just stop the development of AI altogether. But this is impossible.

Even if China and Russia and Americans didn't create a superintelligence, maybe some hackers in their lab would eventually have the technology to do so. So at some point, the America needs to lead with this and try to hope that it turns out for the best. So Zoltan, I'm going to go on to the rest of your platform because it's important. But I've got to ask one last question about this, which is you mentioned winning that AI race. And that immediately made me panic. And I'll tell you why. Because what does it mean to win it? Because it's like, let's say that we got the upper hand on the Chinese and the North Koreans and whoever else, right? Then it made me think, oh, the minute we get the upper hand or they get the upper hand, they're going to want to attack our AI because they're going to want sole control.

They're not going to want the other country or competing entity to then outdo them a week later or a year later. So are we going to have the AI war soon? Well, so let me just tell you, again, this is not my platform at all. This is just some of the stuff I studied at Oxford. There's a very high likelihood, game theory again, that we would have to have a world war to figure out who ends up with the dominant AI technology. And a lot of people have said that some of the warmongering going on, again, I'm not saying this is me, I'm just outlaying this as an Oxford scholar, that we, somebody has to win the AI race and then dominate the rest of the planet and say you can either use this type of AI or no AI at all. And this type of AI would be an AI that we approved, like, for example, the U.S. military approves. But I would not be surprised if within 18 months, 24 months, you have military overriding Google headquarters, open AI headquarters.

I mean, this is a military operation at this point. AIs become so powerful already with drones, capabilities, you know, autonomous jets and things like that, that you're just, we're talking about an entire new era of what it means to be. even be a country in the age of AI. And so again, I know I throw a lot of things at you and that's kind of all crazy, but I'm just saying that game theory would suggest that one country must win the AI race and therefore make sure that every other country uses that technology and somehow that technology hopefully remains in the hands of the one country that started it. Okay, we're all doing. And no, it's not crazy. It's important and it's happening and at least you know about it. And Zoltan went to Columbia, before we went to Oxford. That used to be a point of pride because I went to Colombia law too. But these days, Colombia caving to Trump and being against free speech is kind of robbed us of that. But at least you studied at Oxford and got all this good information you can share

with us. Okay. So now, your platform, before we do anything else on that, do you take corporate PAC money? Oh, absolutely not. We take no money except from grassroots people like people like yourself, just people that are on the ground. That's it. We don't take money from anywhere else. Yeah, okay, God bless. So I then I assume, of course, no APAC money, no Israeli lobby money. No Israeli lobby money, no APAC money, no money from any kind of groups. We have only taken individual money from individual human beings. Okay. So now to California, what's at the top of your agenda? Well, so we also believe that AI can be a wonderful thing. And I have followed, to some extent, in the vein of Andrew Yang, supporting a universal

basic income. So we're now supporting what we call an automated abundance economy. This is the main, you know, part of my platform. And the automated abundance economy consists of three different things. The first is the support of a universal basic income. And the reason is, is because as you can imagine, if we have an AI as smart as us in one to two to three years, obviously they're going to make robots. These robots will be as agile as Olympians. They'll be as smart as us, they're going to take every job that's out there. So that's incredibly dangerous for the workforce. And those that argue against this are probably not seeing the big picture. I think all of us over a five to 10 year period have a very strong likelihood of losing

our livelihoods. So what do we do? Well, we support a universal basic income. And this is what I'm pushing is my day one, I get into California. I'm going to establish this and try to establish a livable universe-based income. But number two is it's not just about robots taking over and our jobs and stuff like that. It's actually about us using robots successfully to make our lives more leisurely. So we have promised one robot for every household in California and to either lease or to give them by two, three years time robots that can do chores like cook salmon for you, do your laundry, walk your dog, read a book to your children. They're probably only going to be five or six thousand dollars in cost so we can give all the 13 million households

in california one and that will make life a lot easier you know you and i probably do approximately five to 10 hours of chores a week so if you have a robot doing that you save a lot of time and the third part of the automated abundance economy is really trying to reestablish what the american dream is and the american dream is this idea you can work hard and become a millionaire and you know make riches you know of course being a millionaire doesn't count as being wealthy anymore. But the point is we need to reimagine that entire scope. If you're not working, if you're not laboring, if you're not in the grind, 9 to 5, what do you want to do with your life? And I'm not here to tell people what to do, but I think the age of space industry,

Star Trek, being an artist, making a painting, taking a guitar, learning the guitar in the Bahamas, whatever it is, you know, the age of automation could become something very brilliant for human beings. And I think that's what I'm pushing. I'm pushing for us to do something new with the American dream. It's not about money anymore. It's about quality of life. But Zoltan, I'm super worried about the interregnum, because you're painting a beautiful picture of the potential future, the abundance economy and we're the Jetsons and we got these robots and, you know, they're cooking our salmon for us. And that's beautiful. And I'm, I hope to God you're right and I hope we get there instead of a disaster.

But what I'm positive of is that that's not going to be the first thing that happens. The first thing that happens is going to be a massive wipeout of jobs. Now across the country, across the world, but certainly in California as well, and maybe most in California since we're the epicenter of this technology. So we're gonna lose, I mean, bare minimum 10% of the jobs in America, maybe be 25%. And that first 10% could be lightning quick. So what happens when we have this massive unemployment and we haven't gotten to the Jetsons yet? We don't have the robot or the salmon. What do we do in the middle? Well, that's the the million dollar question really is how quickly do we get

there? But I think, Jenk, really, we're going to get there a lot more quickly. I mean, there are already robots now in California houses. Yes, some of them are being done by avatars, but probably in two to three months, they won't be. And they'll already be folling clothes. And probably by early next year, they will be cooking your salmon. So there is this, this, people I think there's going to be a big disruption, but I think it's coming a lot more quickly, almost like chat GPT came. It was like almost overnight. And I've been a journalist for 20, 30 years, written for National Geographic, written as a correspondent for the New York Times. It's amazing. You can just tell this thing to write articles for you and it does it better than I probably ever could have written in my life.

And that happened almost overnight in a pattern of three to six months. I think the same thing is going to happen here. You're already seeing a plateau of jobs in Silicon Valley and some firings. But I think starting early next year, you're going to see a mass cliff where just right off just and I think once that happens, people are really going to wake up. And it's going to have a rise in gubernatorial race in California is starting to get excited. And people are going to say, well, what are you going to do about this? And I just think it's going to come a lot quicker than people realize that's the nature of capitalism and technology. And then again, it makes you question whether capitalism is a good thing as well now. So is your plan basically universal basic income?

So when the mass layoffs begin, people can go and get at least some income so they're not starving in the streets, et cetera, while we figure out the rest? Yeah. So universal basic income is definitely our core part of our plan. But we also have an idea of trying to build seven new super cities across California. And that would hopefully, so, you know, one of the problems here, and I'm in real estate development is how I've kind of kept alive. Journalism didn't pay very well, but the real estate did do well. And it's become impossible to build in California. I mean, to try in L.A. or San Francisco is nearly impossible.

But our plan is to build these super cities way outside the urban centers, maybe 100 miles outside near the Salt and Sea where there's no, you know, just desert, things like that. Or maybe some of the coastal areas, if we can get past the coastal commission, to build these million-person super cities and dedicate each one of these cities to something like one for the space industry, one for crypto, maybe one for entertainment and media, maybe one for the arts and music and things like that. But the point is that in addition to universal basic income, we have a method to create a lot of affordable housing. And that's to build away from the counties that have already upheld nimbism. So nimbism, so your listeners know is that not in my backyard. And the problem with nimbism is that it's so dominant in the major urban centers in California that you need to go outside the counties that don't have urban centers. But if you do, you can build very cheaply. And plus, there's many, a lot of state land.

Maybe in my gubernatorial, if I was governor, I would end up giving state land for these super cities for free. So the point is, there are plenty of ways to build affordable housing in California, but you can't do it in San Francisco or Los Angeles or in existing urban centers. So that's one of the main things that we want to do outside of our universal basic income. And if we did that, we would take all the homeless and give them their own studios or apartments where they can live and a lot better services so that you wouldn't have homeless in California anymore. more. Okay, lots to ask about that because you've got a unique, you know, platform here. So where are we getting money for the universal basic income or the seven new cities? So the universal basic income is, of course, the tricky one, because that's the most expensive part of it. We have something called the federal land dividend. So about 600 million

acres in the United States is actually empty land. About 40 million in California is empty federal land. Most of it is not used. My plan would not touch state or national parks whatsoever, but we want to monetize a lot of that federal and state land to produce an income. And if we could do it, and that might be through selling through corporations or selling through, you know, wealthy people that might want to do that. We could then come up with probably enough money for at least half the basic income. And we were thinking, you know, right now a basic income is something like $13 or $1,400 would be our ideal in California. Again, it's not. It's not, not going to necessarily change or, you know, make people, push people out of, let's say, poverty,

but it's going to at least give them food, shelter, and hopefully housing, hopefully health care that they can get their own on the market and things like that. Because, of course, nobody can afford these things if you're below like 20, 30 percent of Californians right now in the poverty line. But if we can do that, then we would like to do. But that's just the first. I mean, Andrew Yang wants to use, for example, of that where, you know, there'd be some additional taxes. I'm not too big on trying to tax people for the universal basic income, but what I could do

is maybe tax crypto exchanges. There's a lot of transactions that's going there, and maybe there could be some increase in taxes elsewhere. But however we do it, there's plenty enough way to do it. I mean, probably taxing the robots is the one that most people are going to want to do. I mean, after all, they're taking the jobs away from human beings. And I'm definitely up for discussing that. But however we do it, I find that there's a myriad amount of ways to support. a universal basic income in California and just, you know, also all the way across America. They just got to think outside the box. Now, the super cities is different.

I mean, if the developers know that they can make money, they're going to come and provide their own money. They're just going to need loans, bonds, and things like that. So super cities can pay for themselves. Real estate is always paid for himself. It's a great investment, just not in San Francisco or in the urban areas in California. You got to get into the counties where you can kind of create your own sets of regulation. And those regulations are going to be dramatically cheaper than what we have, for example, here where I live in Marin County, where you can't even build a fence anymore.

Okay, so quick questions, a series of them, you said $1,300. That's per month in a relatively ideal universal basic income. Okay. So, yeah, boy, we're going to head to disaster. Okay, corporate, I don't mean in your platform, I mean overall in AI, because even if you have $1,300 a month, but you don't have your job anymore. Oh my God, we're going to be devastated. Okay. But just so you know, there would be what already exists with the welfare system. So those that are getting maybe 20,000 from it are now getting an additional 15,000. So you're literally doubling pretty close to what these people have. And let me just say again, you know, the automated bonus economy includes a lot of, you know, use of new technology.

So if we can follow through with our plan and we're able to give, let's say, in the next two to three to five, years, a humanoid robot that does a lot of tasks for you. Again, it reduces the kind of time you might have to drive your kids here or do there or cook for you. You have to see the automated abundance economy is not necessarily only about dollars. It's really about quality of life. If you did have something like that helping you, plus this basic income, your life could be dramatically improved. We see standard of living increasing by 30, 40, 50 percent across the board according to our metrics. Yeah, I don't believe that at all. And I think that there's going to be mass devastation before we get to that if we ever get to Elysium.

But okay, so let me keep going. The corporations, how are they, what are they doing with state land? Are they sponsoring it? Are they buying it? You said not buying it. So I was confused by that. No, well, we would love, we would love to lease the land so that corporations would actually be paying you per month. and that money would be directly funding a lot of the universal basic income.

So, for example, if a super city was to take 10 square miles of the state land, they would be paying for that, and then probably paying some of the taxes and things like that on the different units that they create, housing units, things like that. So the numbers are tight. I'm not trying to paint this as we have it all figured out. But I can tell you one thing, it's a better plan than what exists right now, which is this idea, for example, in San Francisco, they just passed the new real estate law today, and now they can build a little bit higher.

But just because they can build higher doesn't mean developers are going to go in and deal with all the environmental regulations and things like that. You really need to get outside of that. So our plan actually works for a real estate developer like myself to go in and say, yeah, I can make a living doing this. Right now you can't make a living building in San Francisco or Los Angeles anymore. It's very difficult. So I want the audience to understand, look, AI, universal basic income, et cetera, are not Zoltan's fault. He's at least trying to figure out how to deal with it, right? And whereas a lot of other candidates are out to lunch and they don't even know that it's happening, right?

Or don't have an effective plan for it, in my opinion. All right, so you mentioned maybe taxing the robots. I'm like, okay, now we're having a conversation. Because if NVIDIA and all these AI companies, et cetera, open AI are made, oh, now they're worth trillion dollars. They're amazing. They're terrific. Like, all right, great. If you're the ones that destroyed our economy and you made a trillion dollars from it, give me the goddamn money. So can we tax them a lot more than other companies? Because those are the companies that destroyed employment in this country. So, Zhang, we just have to be careful. Going back to this artificial intelligence race to super intelligence, we have to be careful. And just so you know, you know, and I'm not trying to hide it, but I am sort of one of the most right leaning of the left.

side of gubernatorial candidates. That said, of course, I support basic income. So there's a strong socialist component of my campaign as well. But I also don't want to alienate my people that have been with me for 10, 15, 20 years as somebody they believe in. So I'm trying not to create more taxes on those that are creating these technologies. However, as I said before, if it comes down to I have to do one of the other, absolutely. Let's tax the hell out of the big multi-trillion dollar companies that are creating the robots and the AI. If I have to do it, I absolutely will do it for the people.

My priority is to the, you know, I was just in Los Angeles. I interviewed 33 people. Seven out of 10 people said housing affordability is their number one issue. They just said it's money, money, money. That's all that matters. In fact, on the top 10 list was not environmentalism even once for any of the top 33, for the 33 people I interviewed. So for me, I'm just like, how can I make your life cheaper and better? What can I do to give you enough security and financial freedom so that you don't come, you know, when I interview you, you don't say to me, look, I can't afford even going to the store anymore.

So if it means taxing those corporations, yeah, I'm with you. Let's do it. Okay. And then one more on the super cities. So people have tried, you know, new cities before, even in California, as you know, right? And they've been pretty spectacular failures. So have we learned any of the lessons from those? Why would we think it would work this time? Plus, whenever we say, oh, we're going to build new housing, if you don't put in absolute requirements, they usually don't build affordable housing. They build logically more profitable housing, right?

And so then you didn't solve the homeless problem at all. So how do you deal with those two significant issues? Well, you have to be reasonable. You have to like try to work with both sides. And I think this is one of the things I'm seeing in, you know, some of the other candidates or, you know, even Gavin Newsom, he doesn't seem to want to compromise at all. And I'm the kind of person that reaches across the island and says, listen, how can we make this better? If I have to work with Trump, who I'm, you know, not a fan of, then I will do so because I'm doing it for the people. So if it means making something more affordable in building these super cities, I would absolutely do whatever it takes.

to make that work. But I think the bigger problem here is that right now when you talk about building and regulations, it's almost impossible in the framework of the urban centers we live in in California. You need to go somewhere else. You need to create city councils that will vote into certain kinds of building parameters that will work. And yes, we want the developers to make money. That's why no one's building in San Francisco anymore. It's because they can't make any money. So we need to be we need to entice them somewhat. And that means compromise. And I mean, I know I'm not a big showy guy. I'm not out there, you know, railing all day long against Trump. But whatever it takes, if I can make Californians have more affordable housing, I'm going to do that. That's my number one goal. All right. Super interesting. Certainly a different candidate. And your top two priorities are very different than the others. But you're addressing housing, affordability, AI. These things are real, very, very real and very relevant. I enjoy the conversation.

We had a conversation just like this with a guy named Andrew Yang a long time ago. Then he wound up being, you know, a very interesting presidential contender and on and on and on. So Zoltan last thing is, how can people find you? Sure. Well, I would love for you to go to my website, Zoltanisvind 2026.com. And of course, if anyone wants to donate, people were very happy to take them. And, you know, I'm just doing my best out here. We want to change the conversation in California.

We want to build the golden state back and we can do it. We just need some reasonable candidates out there like myself that are going to push something that all of us can believe in again. All right. Oh, I almost forgot. We're on the, yes, we're doing an interview for your race. Yes, it's also the conversation when we do these interviews. But also at this time, we are the original conceit of this show is the revolution. So I ask everybody that comes on here, what's your sense?

sense of what is most wrong in our government and how we do you do a revolution to fix it? And a revolution could mean anything. It certainly is not physical or violent, obviously political, et cetera. Well, look, the revolution that's happening, and I'm so grateful you had me on your show, is really about AI. None of the politicians will talk about it because it doesn't poll well. And any time I talk about it outside, people are like, oh, can you talk about taxes or immigration or something like that. That's something they understand. This is a weird world we're in. We're faced

with 18 to 24, 36 months, something on planet Earth that's as smart as us, as agile as us, that can take our jobs away. And if we don't do something, we don't take that power away from the corporations. We don't take the power away from the politicians that exist now. We're going to end up, you know, it's not going to be good for the people. So the revolution that you're talking about really has to start with us acknowledging that the world is changing in a way that has never happened before. AI is not like the internet. AI is not like the combustion engine. It's something that can replace us. So we have to be very, very careful how we go about it. And talking about it is the first priority of any steps that we're going to take. So that's my revolution. Just let's talk

about it. All right, Zoltan. Appreciate it, brother. Thank you for joining us. Super interesting candidate for governor in California and a race that needs interesting candidates. All right, thank you. Thank you. All right guys, so I'm going to do a bonus episode for you guys. You know, I was inspired by this interview and I will do my vision for the future. Dun dun dun, so good time to become a member, hit the join button below on YouTube or t.com slash join and let's have a little fun and I'll tell you about my views on AI.

super babies, super intelligence, super everything. We'll be right back.
