You're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. Woo! Thank you, Friday! The guy! We're going to be able to be. Drop it.

Live from the Polymarket Studio in LA. It's the Young Turks, Jane Cougars, Sharon Reed, John Iderola. You paused there on that one. I did, I did. All right. When Mondale was on, I wanted to say Walter Mondale so badly that I think I once said Walter. Okay, so John, pausing on your name, yeah, better than me making up a name for you, so trust me on that, okay? You're forgiven, Walter.

So anyways, Shirener, of course, on Rebel Headquarters, John's, the host, damage report. We got a lot of show for you guys, tons of news in all sorts of different directions. So let's get, just get to it. John, take it away. Let's get to it with this first topic that I've just been waiting to hear what you think about this, Jane. Let's roll with this. I have had many conversations as you have had with a lot of young people over the last many months now. And you're right, they don't know very much at all about the history of the Middle East or frankly about history.

in many areas of the world, including in our own country, propaganda is not education. Propaganda on whether it's TikTok or in the classroom is actually the opposite of education. So that is, of course, Hillary Clinton. Remember her and how she was as a politician? She's still that way. And there she's talking with Joe Scarborough about how college students were organizing against the war, against the massive needless loss of civilian life in Gaza are too stupid to have an opinion

about it. They don't know the history of the Middle East. And you know what? They don't know the history of the U.S. either. They're a bunch of dumb donkeys and they should leave politics to their betters. 30% of that was added by me. 70% of it was courtesy of the woman that weirdly lost in 2016. It's weird that she didn't rally more people to support her with that utterly condescending approach to the youngest generation. You notice there at the end that she of course labeled information being shared on TikTok as pro Hamas and anti-Israel, and you may say that that's an inappropriate characterization of the information, but I want you to put yourself in her place.

She is opposing a massive anti-war movement. You don't want to cede that ground to them, so you don't say that they're anti-war. You make up something that sounds bad, yeah, they're pro-terrorists. They love Hamas, that's the ticket. So basically that's what happened. And there were people on the other side pushing back against this. We're gonna give you a little bit of progressive filmmaker Michael Moore who's criticizing people like Clinton

who have no interest in what these college students actually believe, what they're actually advocating for. But I want to give you just a little bit more about Hillary Clinton. With respect to the Middle East, they don't know that under the bringing together of the Israelis and the Palestinians by my husband, the then Israeli Prime Minister, Ahud Barak, the then head of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, then the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Arafat. An offer was made to the Palestinians for a state on 96% of the existing territory

occupied by the Palestinians, with 4% of Israel to be given to reach 100% of, of the amount of territory that was hoped for. And this offer was made. And if Yasser Arafat had accepted it, there would have been a Palestinian state now for about 24 years. It's one of the great tragedies of history that he was unable to say yes. I have to apologize for everything I said earlier. I didn't know that. Like most college students, I'm not an expert in Middle East history. Now that I know that they rejected the possibility of a Palestinian state, I now see that the 14,000 kids who've died in Gaza deserved it. And it's not a tragedy. It used to bother me. It doesn't bother me now. I don't care about the men, women, and children,

civilians who were blown apart, many with bombs that we supplied. That used to bother me, but I didn't know the thing about Camp David. And so now I feel better. I hope every college student across America sees that, the protests will probably evaporate. Jank, what do you think? Yeah, so we're gonna do a poll in a little bit and ask you guys who you think is right, Michael Moore or Hillary Clinton. So stay around to hear what Michael Moore had to say. He's on your side.

Okay, anyways. So part of the reason we're doing that poll is because I want to show you the difference between online media and mainstream media. She mentioned propaganda. She also mentioned, by the way, that the young people she just talked to were idiots. So if I'm the young person that just had a conversation with Hillary Clinton, I'm like, what? Okay, are you referring to me? Okay, so anyways, no, she mentioned propaganda, and that's really relevant because who do you think might be doing propaganda? Let's think

about the incentives. Either people who have been historically, literally paid by Israeli interests like Hillary Clinton, who's taking tremendous amount of money from APAC, and all the politicians who've taken tremendous money from APEC and have an incentive to deliver in return for that money, wall-to-wall propaganda on behalf of Israel. Israel isn't the name of APEC. There's no subtlety about it at all, okay? So now, or mainstream media who serves corporate interests

and has a corporate infrastructure, and often literally has memos saying what you can and can't say. And if like with CNN, for example, that has some good pieces from time to time, but must check every story about Israel through their Jerusalem bureau. Is that more likely to produce propaganda or random young people on TikTok? Who are they random young people on TikTok serving? And why are they serving? Is Hamas paying them? Okay, the Palestinians who are starving to death are miraculously have gathered up money and are sending it to teenagers in Cincinnati and Nebraska?

Okay, I'm pretty sure one side is doing propaganda has an enormous incentive to do propaganda and the other side are actual real human beings who care about what John mentioned, maybe like when a 2,000 pound bomb is dropped on a building and it crushes the skulls of grandmothers and babies. And speaking of her propaganda, I'm so serious. sick of this propaganda about how we just gave Arafat the most beautiful deal and he totally rejected it. And so that's why we decided to keep them occupied in our prisoners and hostages for another couple of decades, right? Number one, there's no excuse for the occupation. They should unilaterally end the occupation. You don't get to imprison and take five and a half

million hostages. Can the Chinese government say, hey, well man, we offered the Uyghurs a deal and the sons of bitches wouldn't take it. That's why we haven't been concentration camps. Now, they do say that, by the way, and the world thinks it's an outrageous thing to say, and no one believes them. But when Israel says, well, that's why we had to keep these folks in these camps here in West Bank and Gaza's grip,

it's both factually incorrect. And even if it were true, is no justification at all. The reality of the peace deals is super complicated. One of the lead negotiators for the American side said Clinton is not telling the truth. It was the Israelis that were obstinate. I think Yitzhak Rabin, the leader of Israel at the time, was trying to get to a peace deal. But there was a deep problem on the Israeli offer for a peace deal when it was Arafat. Ehudu Omer, a later Israeli prime minister, actually made a pretty good offer, in my opinion, that Mahmoud Abbas should have taken.

But that doesn't mean, oh, that's why Israel slaughtering 34,000 people is okay, right? And by the way, the Palestinians have made tons of offers to the Israelis that the Israelis didn't take. Does that make Hamas's action on October 7th, justifiable? Of course not. So why is that not justifiable when it, but when Israel kills 30 times the number of civilians, and Hillary Clinton goes back to decades ago to say, well, they didn't take a peace deal once out of the hundreds of offers back and forth, back and forth, will only say the Palestinians didn't take. Well, the Israelis, by definition, didn't take hundreds of offers from the Palestinians.

So it is pure propaganda. And the fact that she calls the other side propaganda is also propaganda. That's exactly what propagandists do. All right, I got more, and we got Michael Moore, but Sharon, your thoughts. Listening to Hillary Clinton, I mean, just how condescending, talking down to us anti-fact narrative. I mean, for some reason, she did it. She made me feel for the basket of deplorables by listening to her. That's how ridiculous she is.

This whole thing where young people are too stupid to stand up for humanity. Stop with the false narrative, pro-Palestinian, pro Hamas. How about I don't want to see women, children, innocent civilians die or be held hostage? But the other side has to keep it really simple, not just anti-facts, but really simple in order to keep playing this lie over and over again. And by the way, the president's saying, if you go any further, I will hold up weapons. Do we really believe it? It's like this, this fake narrative to keep us asleep at the wheel. And then by the way, let's send in the police, round up all the college kids and have Hillary Clinton. I'm surprised she didn't dumb it down to. Remember when

my husband made the two leaders laugh? Remember that? It was just so, so clever and so easy and so cute. I just, I can't listen to her. I can't listen to her. And her legacy, I think, is greatly impacted by this, if it can be any more. Yeah. And again, as I sort of alluded to you in the intro, like you can, you can sort of see why she wasn't able to win over enough people to beat Donald Trump and have us avoid so much trouble. She's just bad as a politician. I'm not even talking about all the issues that we've articulated over the course of like 30 years when it comes to the policy, just as the ability to communicate. Like, what she's talking about is boneheaded in two different ways. First of all, you do not need to be a subject matter expert to value human life. That's just not how that works. I hate what Russia is doing in Ukraine, I don't need to study in Moscow to say that. That doesn't make any sense.

And she would definitely, she would never apply that logic to any other conflict than this. She thinks it's an easy out here, that's why she's doing it. But even if it did make sense to do that, it wouldn't make sense to say it. Are you, do you think that Hillary Clinton is going to win over one single college student with that argument, that they're going to be like, you know what, I haven't read a lot of books about Middle Eastern history? No, she's only going to anger them more, a movement that has been needlessly antagonized every step of the way. There are plenty of people that are part of this protests and definitely were early on that just wanted to see a ceasefire. They wanted to see the U.S. stop aiding and betting mass murder. But there's also a ton of people who've entered the protests because of the of the crackdowns, because of the suppression, and because of the propaganda. Like you were attacking some of the aspects of propaganda and there are a lot. But think about being one of these campus protesters and seeing every single person in the news describe you as being pro Hamas, or at the very least, if they're not going to say that and not all will,

anti-Israel. That is just propaganda. That's not journalism. They're against the war. That doesn't mean they're against a country. It certainly doesn't mean they're against a people or religion. And if you were part of that group and you saw everyone in their fancy studios mocking you and besmirching you in that way, I'd be radicalized too. Now, as we said, thankfully there are some people that are trying to fight back against this. Let's go now to Michael Moore. I don't understand why fellow boomers are being so snide and snarky about them or, you know, telling them they're a bunch of idiots, they don't know what they're talking about, They don't understand the history.

They don't, jeez, you know, what they understand is right and wrong. And the fact that they are not apathetic and they are not, they don't want to be silent. These are all very positive things. And you may not agree with everything they say or do or whatever, but nonetheless, they're not out there to hurt anybody. They've not hurt anybody. And yet they're ridiculed in the media on the Internet. It's really as simple as that.

Again, they know the difference between right and wrong. Your ability to control them has not extended to the ability to get them to not see that. And look, I saw Nate Silver put out a tweet about how all these college students and these elite campuses are so removed, they're not representative of anything. He's the numbers guy. He's the polling guy. And when you look at the polls, yeah, no, they are largely reflective of the fact that the younger you are, and especially in the youngest demographic, you're the most likely to be critical of the U.S. involvement in what's going on in Gaza. So you can see a percent saying that the way Israel is carrying out its response to October 7th is unacceptable. It's 46% of those aged 18 to 29. Acceptable is 21, far less than half the amount. Now the numbers are obviously very different as you move up to the older age categories,

but this is actually largely reflective of what the youngest people think. And so, and the idea that who is Joe Biden favoring? 36% of 18 to 29 year old saying he's favoring the Israelis too much, far more than those who think that it's the strike in the right balance or favoring the Palestinians. Palestinians. So they're they're doing what they can with the rights that they're supposed to have, but now largely do not, to send a signal to their government that they don't approve of this. This is supposed to be a democracy. They're supposed to be able to have their voice be heard. But unfortunately, they're using it to say something that those in power don't want to hear. And thus, the boot of the state is put on their neck, almost instantaneously. Yeah. So first of all, like I said, fun poll for you guys. You'll see the link. in the description box and you always get any links that we refer to t yt.com slash team to sign up for membership. Any of those links are always in description box. But this is about who do you

think has a better understanding of the student protests, Hillary Clinton or Michael Moore? And part of the reason that I'm asking this poll is I don't think that Hillary Clinton's going to win this one, to be honest with you guys. You could surprise me. But it's because if you ask this on Morning Joe, they would find it to be a laughable, laughable poll. Of course Hillary Clinton is right, this buffoon Michael Moore supporting Hamas and blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever propaganda that they're doing, right? Remind me who was right about 2016, Michael Moore or Hillary Clinton? Michael Moore warned that Hillary Clinton was going to lose, and he said, I'm not doing it because I want her to lose. I'm doing it, so she turns around and doesn't lose.

And she said, I know everything. You people have to vote for me. I'm entitled to your vote. And if you don't, you're stupid and uneducated. How'd that turn out, Hillary? I mean, like, YTP Renewed is a member, wrote in on Super Chat. Why does anyone listen to anyone who lost to Trump? That's a great question.

Trump is a great A moron and a monster, and you're so bad at politics and policy that you lost to him? And now you're kind of giving us advice on what we should do in politics? Yeah, I don't think so. Last thing for me is, guys, on October 7th, 860, a little bit over 860 civilians died in Israel. Also, a bunch of IDF soldiers died too. And all of it is a tragedy, but especially the civilians, of course, that's out of bounds, it's terrorism, it's terrible, it's wrong, right? 860. So our hearts broke for them, we told you right afterwards, terrible, awful.

Now, on the other side, we've got at a minimum, 34,500 dead, 10,000 bird in the rubble. The numbers on both sides on those two things are probably much larger. We've got 77,000 injured. We can go on and on. But there's no dispute that at least the bare minimum, 24,000 women and children have been killed in Gaza. 860, and that includes males, it includes everybody on the Israeli side, versus 24,000. The only way you would say that 24,000 dead, innocent women and children on that one side is not enough. Israel should keep going and kill more Palestinians is if you've been fed and nonstop diet of propaganda.

Because any decent person would say about both of those things, don't, don't, don't, all that, 860s, terrible, don't do that. And the 24,000, the 34,000, the 44,000, don't, that's awful. And in fact, literally 30, 40 times worse. But if you heard propaganda that Israel is the most moral army in the world and all of those deaths were accidental and they didn't intend a single one of those deaths, golly gee, they just don't know how to shoot straight. but the dirty savage Palestinians meant every death, but the Israelis meant none of the deaths. The only way you would believe something that absurd is if you were fed nothing but propaganda by establishment figures like Hillary Clinton and Joe Scarborough, that's the show that she was on.

Sharon. Yeah, I mean, remember what Chef Andreas told us, remember there were there were three precision strikes, but hey, who's counting? It was all an accident. And the sad part is the first part of your statement, Jenk, was about how much October 7th was a tragedy. The numbers, the hostages, the IDF soldiers. But it's like when you say that, nobody heard that part. And it's also that when you put up the numbers of those civilians,

Palestinians, women, children, dead, it's not that they are real people. It's like when slaves were counted in that compromise is three-fifths. I don't even know if we're counting innocent women and children who are dead as that much of humans. And the world is infinitely less safe because of this. Because if you add up the casualties and you, I don't know, times 100, those are the people who weren't part of Hamas, who despite everything going on in their backyard didn't join hate, who now have no reason. families, their loved ones, not to hate more. And I'll say this about what Michael Moore said, you know, the civil rights, all these strong legacy leaders, and we're losing them now,

so many of them as they are aging out, if you will. Only John Lewis saw the value, really, in young people, in the movement, and Black Lives Matter, in all of that. It's as if you get to be a certain age and you forget how young people were thoughtful and organized and changed the world. This propaganda routine is shameful and the way you break it down and money and everything else is criminal and devilish. I just, I don't know where it's going to end if we don't have some kind of sensibility in the morning Joe's in the mainstream media to just pull out the truth. Yeah, it's like the the bill marization of everyone in politics. Like you reach a certain age when now all these young people, they think

they're better than me. They think they know more. They think they have values more in line with the modern era. Screw them. That's what it feels like, honestly. Yeah. So the last thing I'll say on that, John, is that I think you're on to something there. And I think that, but I'll add an extra layer to it, which is that they're super mad that their propaganda isn't working anymore. They're like, what do you mean? Bill Maher said it on HBO. Joe Scarborough said it on MSNBC. Greg Gutfeld said it on Fox News. And almost everybody said it on CNN. Although CNN actually has been better than the rest in this particular story. They're like, and you guys still don't believe us?

We already did our job of brainwashing you, but you refuse to be brainwashed because you're on TikTok now. Let's ban TikTok. And that's actually kind of exactly what happened. And the other day, Mitt Romney and Anthony Blinken weirdly admitted it in public saying that the main reason they were banning TikTok was because they thought there were too many videos against Israel. Yep.

Remember, that's the United States Secretary of State and a United States Senator. They're not in the Knesset. And also, before we close, I just want to, you gave credit to CNN in some aspects of this story. They also, just in the last day, broke the story of the whistleblowers at the detention center in Israel. And they unveiled some of the horrific conditions as well as torture that a lot of Palestinians are experiencing. So not everybody is equally bad in all ways. The media overall could certainly be better. We're to take a short break, but we have more after this.

All right on TYT Jank Sharon and John with you guys and Anna's Tommy Gunn gifted five Young Turks memberships on YouTube and is awesome and so is hat guy from New York because they became a member through t-y-t.com slash team, which is even better. Thank you guys. Well, they're both great. John. Okay, we've got something fun for you. The impeachment attempt against Joe Biden has died, but also long-lived the impeachment attempt against Joe Biden, as you'll see in this clip. Collison, on walk rounds, would you impeach President Biden?

Our main objective is to get Israel the support they need to show that we stand with our ally Israel, even if Joe Biden's walking away because he is now trying to appease the pro-Hamas wing of his party. Is it a high crime and misdemeanor to walk away from a big ally? Well, what we want to do is get president. So that is an argument for impeaching Joe Biden from Steve Scalice that is so stupid that even even Varney, Stuart Varney, is not on board with it. And look, admittedly, Steve Scalise is like trying to lay the rhetorical groundwork for that. But it wasn't him who actually went forward with it.

For that, we have to turn to Republican Representative Corey Mills, who has formally filed articles of impeachment against Joe Biden for being mean to Israel. So he says, furthermore, that him pausing bomb shipments to Israel to try to stop them from invading Rafa and potentially killing tens of thousands of civilians is a quid pro quo, and it's the exact same thing as what Donald Trump tried to do with the Ukrainian government. So let's walk through his, I'm not gonna say logic, but perhaps argument, I suppose. The House has no choice but to impeach President quid pro Joe Biden. As vice president, Biden was caught threatening to withhold funding and aid to Ukraine unless they

fired the Attorney General investigating Burisma. That's not at all what happened. A company financially benefiting his son Hunter, not to mention the 10% share for the big guy himself. Again, if there was literally anything to that, they would have already impeached Joe Biden. There wasn't, That's why we're moving on to this new clown show. Now Joe Biden is pressuring Israel, our biggest ally in the Middle East, by pausing their funding that has already been approved in the House if they don't stop all operations with Hamas, which is not at all what Joe Biden is calling for here. It's a very clear message, this for that, these are the same accusations made against

President Trump, which resulted in his impeachment by Democrats. The same must happen for Joe Biden, which is why we're drawing up articles of impeachment now. That is so stupid. This for that is not by itself an impeachable offense. That's literally all of what politics is. Donald Trump doing a quid pro quo in regard to the Ukrainian government was not by itself a problem. It's the benefit that he was trying to get was a corrupt, selfish benefit.

It was not a benefit in the interests of the United States. That's literally what diplomacy is. Foreign policy is attempting to influence foreign states to benefit American. interest. Donald Trump was trying to influence foreign states to benefit Donald Trump's interest. That's what made it a high crime and a misdemeanor. The fact that Joe Biden might very briefly be putting the brakes on on these bomb shipments to stop the invasion of the densely populated area of Rafa, that's simply foreign policy. Foreign policy that I think a very large percentage of the American people would be in agreement of. And by the way, it is hardly unprecedented,

Even in the Israeli context for American presidents to attempt to use our influence, we hand over billions of dollars and they talk often about the fact that we're sovereign states, at what point do we get to act like it? No, they expect us instead to simply bow down. But Joe Biden in this particular case, this limited case is not doing that and he is not the first. Ronald Reagan used the power of American arms several times to influence Israeli war policy at different points ordering war planes and cluster munitions to be delayed or withheld. Eisenhower threatened economic sanctions and an aid cut off to force Israel to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula after it invaded Egypt back in 1956.

Gerald Ford warned that he would reevaluate the entire relationship back in 1975 over what he considered Israel's recalcitrance during peace talks with Egypt and even George H.W. Bush postponed $10 billion in loan guarantees back in 1991 in a dispute over settlements in the West Bank. Now that is not the exact same thing as what Joe Biden is doing. Notably, every one of those presidents was a Republican, but there's certainly a precedent. What do you think? Yeah, so first of all, I think that Republicans are seizing defeat from the jaws of victory. So Joe Biden was badly hurt with the younger voters for how much he was banking Israel 100%,

and how he didn't seem to care at all about the innocent Palestinians. And apparently, massive credit to younger voters in America, they're the only ones who care. So that's not fair to say, as a blanket statement, obviously tons of people who are middle-aged and older care. But in terms of the polling, on average, younger people care more, hence they're more decent, humane, human beings. And so that's why Biden was getting clobbered and had lost like 30 to 40 points among younger voters. Well, here comes the Republicans go, no, no, young voters.

Remember, we're always worse, right? So Biden, on the eve of yet another horrific massacre that might happen in Rafa said, hey, we're not going to send you bombs to drop 2,000 pound bombs in populated areas. That's just, that's, that is ethnic cleansing and genocide. We're not going to do that. And he didn't spell it out with the words ethnic cleansing genocide. He just said, it's, I told you not to do. to do it. We agreed on a peace deal. You backed out of the peace deal. So for American foreign policy

reasons, I'm not going to send you these shipments. And so maybe that opens the door to younger voters going, huh, look at Joe Biden actually helping a little bit, little bit, okay? But here come the Republicans going, oh, no, no, I cannot believe that Joe Biden betrayed the orders that we were given from Israel. We will serve Israel more dutifully. We think America is second that. Actually, Lizzie Graham mentioned Saudi Arabia in the House. Since we're doing an arms deal with them, we have to also listen to them. So America third, probably third, depending on what other donors we're getting, okay?

But probably third, but we like, but trust us. Net Yahoo is our leader. The Republican Party, we were saying you're making him Speaker of the House. I'm kidding around about Speaker of the House, but they are actually begging him to come speak at Congress, where they'll give him standing ovation. And maybe they'll stuff his pockets full of money, right? Because I mean 20 billion. So we make fun of Menendez, who's a Democrat and Quayar, who's a Democrat down in Texas,

because they took money from Azerbaijan and Egypt. I mean, it's an open auction, right? And the gold bullion and the money literally stuffed into his suits. But you can't fit 20 billion in a suit. And that's what Netanyahu has gotten from Biden. And the Republicans are like, not enough. How dare you define Netanyahu? Mike Johnson, apparently, hopefully we'll get to it later in the show, called up Netanyahu.

What should I do next? boss now that are you and now look so when you criticize these obviously corrupt politicians for obviously taking money for may pack which is giving out a hundred million dollars and legalized bribes of politicians they say oh that's anti-semitic no no brothers and sisters they will take orders from any donor could be Bulgaria it doesn't matter and it's not theoretical or hypothetical they do take orders oftentimes from Saudi Arabia which is a a Muslim country, not a Jewish country, and it's a Muslim state, and they take orders

from drug companies, oil companies, defense contractors, et cetera, et cetera. Corruption defines this system. So now we've reached the height of absurdity where the Republicans are saying, because our leader has not listened to a foreign leader, when he should have taken orders from that foreign leader, we are going to impeach him for high crimes and misdemeanors against Israel. Are you, are you guys serious? You sound ridiculous. And you sound like your pathetic servants.

And look guys, I've been telling you for decades. They're all pathetic servants that take corporate PAC money, that take lobbyists money like this, and they serve all of the donors. But in this particular case, it's so obvious because it's a foreign country. They're giving away the game. I'm picturing like drug company lobby is going, no, no, they're going to find out we're all buying you, right?

So here's the Republicans saying, Netanyahu, of course we will impeach our president, sir. Yes, sir. Is the AIPAC money coming in? Mike Johnson's number one donor APAC. McKeem Jeffries, by the way, Democrat, number one donor APAC. But on this case, it's the Republicans that are the problem. And the Republicans are saying any deviation from what that foreign leader says is, unacceptable. American president must serve the Israeli prime minister, because we got paid to do that.

All right, brothers, sisters, go for it. Not only will you lose younger voters, you'll give Joe Biden a giant gift and show that you're both corrupt and morally horrific people, that you're willing to have all those people die in Gaza just so you can get paid. But on top of that, you're going to start to lose your own base, because your base doesn't think America should be third or eighth. they think America should be first. I've heard that a couple of times. And I see it in social media. A lot of the right wing base is starting to get really agitated. Like, oh, really? This is the one thing that you guys are going to impeach Biden over?

That he's not serving Netanyahu? I'm telling me, tons of right-wingers are saying, look, I can't believe I'm going to agree with Jake Uger. But I do agree on this. Why do we have to do everything Netanyahu says? Which other foreign leaders are we going to serve? This is insanity. Okay, Sharon. Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

And what the Republicans are doing is basically turning Joe Biden. He's done very little, very little for all those civilians and all those deaths into this Palestinian freedom fighter. Even if it's only temporary, you're absolutely correct. Joe Biden only recently admitted that United States weapons were killing Palestinian civilians. There's a million people sheltering in Raha. And he's finally saying something. And you have Lindsey Graham speaking up as only Lindsey Graham does saying something ridiculous. It's like twisting themselves into a pretzel to try to make it make sense.

He says, if we don't give these weapons to Israel, that's our last chance at peace. We will lose any chance at peace. It's nuts. It really is nuts. And if you're not paying attention, you might just go along with it. just go along with it and think it's okay but a lot of people are paying attention on the right and the left young people and so here we are yeah yeah he also tried to compare it to if the u.s had not dropped nukes on japan pitching the the devastation of Gaza as being the same sort

of existential threat as literally world war two so Lindsey Graham apparently an expert of world history so i guess according to Hillary Clinton he gets to give us his opinion in any event we should probably take our second break of the hour, lots more after this. through the join button below the video on YouTube as well.

You are indeed, now let's talk about the other team. A federal appeals court has rejected the appeal of former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon on his conviction for contempt of Congress, and as a result of this, he could soon be in prison serving a four-month term. Now, Judge Bradley Garcia put out a 20-page opinion addressing the attempted appeal, saying that Steve Bannon's defense that he had acted only on the advice of counsel and did not intend to break the law when ignoring the subpoena was no defense at all. So he was originally found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress way back in July of 2022.

Basically he received a subpoena from the January 6th Select Committee and he willfully ignored it. He did not go. They had sought his testimony on his involvement in the efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which obviously he was intimately involved in at multiple levels. He was a cheerleader for it on his podcast or whatever it is that he does. He's not the only person that has run afoul of this contempt of of Congress in this particular instance. We also have former Trump aide Peter Navarro similarly convicted and back in March began

his own four month federal jail sentence. And so for now what's almost two years basically, the judge had stayed the actual sentence while the appeal went forward, no word and why it took this long. But at the time the judge had said, Mr. Bannon has not taken responsibility for his actions, flaunting congressional subpoenas betrays a lack of respect. for the legislative branch. I think that was the goal. I'm not a psychic, but it certainly seems like the message he was trying to send. Now, this is not necessarily the end of the road for Steve Bannon. He has seven days to ask for reconsideration by the full U.S. Court

of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. He could also theoretically ask the Supreme Court to get involved. And before we discuss, I want you to know that this is also not the only legal proceeding that Steve Bannon has in his near future. He is scheduled to stand trial in state. court in New York City in September on charges related to his alleged defrauding of donors who gave money to a nonprofit group's purported effort to build a wall on the US-Mexico border. It's easy to forget that that's the thing he did, just robbed his most devoted loyal followers of tons of money so he could buy a boat and fur coats and things like that. But for now, obviously we're focusing on the possibility.

He could spend most of the time between now and the November election behind bars. What do you make of it? Yeah, so thanks God, as our immigrant parents would say. So Steve Bannon is brazenly defying Congress. It's not optional when they send you a subpoena, but the Republicans always believe they're above the law. Now, I would much rather actually have a trial of Steve Bannon on the coup attempt where he, along with Navarro, Trump, Eastman, etc., devised a plan to use fake electors to overturn the Democratic elections that we had and basically do. a coup against America. I've been dying for them to get to those trials. And I actually think it's slightly unfair to the January 6 guys who've already been tried that their leaders haven't

been tried. Their leaders were Steve Bannon and Navarro that came up with a plot for them to attack Congress so that it could cause a delay, sending it back to the states where they had their fake electors ready. Navarro wrote a book about it. So it's very clear. But part of the reason they have not been able to get accountability is because they won't come in for any kind of questioning where they know they'll be asked questions they can't answer like Steve Bannon encouraging people to riot the day before January 6th. How did he know? What did he know? Why did he tell them to get ready to take physical action, right? Those are great questions we can't ask him because he won't

show up. So then that's when they do the spina, he doesn't follow it, and you're going to get a four-month prison sentence. It makes perfect sense. He's going to try to appeal to the Supreme Court. I'm positive he'll lose the Supreme Court, even though it is incredibly conservative why he has no case at all the appeals court was like what are you doing so first of all he says I have immunity because I worked for the Trump White House it was like three years before this event right and so does people do people who work for Jimmy Carter still have immunity like that's not that's not a thing second of all Trump never said that he was exercising

that particular privilege that's problem number two problem number three is he He starts making these arguments about, well, if I went into Congress, here's what I would have told the House Investigation Committee. The judge is like, yeah, there's one way you could have done that by going to Congress. Okay, instead you didn't, and you said brazenly that you're choosing not to go, which proves intent. This is the most open and shut case there ever was. So unless he could somehow delay it until Trump gets into office, he's going to prison. So at least for those four months. And then they should try them on the actual merits of it.

And speaking of delaying it until Trump gets in office, I don't know why MAGA doesn't mind this. It's such a weird thing, right? If Bernie Sanders ran a grift where he stole progressive money so that he could get, you know, when they were going to build a while, I don't know what we would build as progressives, universal health care. I don't know. Vertical farms. Yeah, but instead Bernie took it and bought a yacht. Right, like, well, you know, there was a yacht involved.

I don't know that Bannon bought it, but all of these things that they were going to show in court, and they did, and his co-conspirators were convicted. They definitely scam their own base out of that money, pretending they were going to build a wall when they did no such thing. And the only reason why Steve Bannon isn't in jail for that is because Trump's like, oh, you're a criminal? You were running a con? Add a boy.

Way to me. You want to help with a coup attempt? So he pardoned Steve Bannon, you don't mind that he pardons criminals who stole money from you, MAGA? It's so weird. It's so weird, I can't understand it. Sharon. Yeah, it's just different kind of people. I mean, you're so right.

If Bernie Sanders did a tenth of that, he would be taking the task on all of it. They would have taken his mittens and his scarf from the inauguration. They would have taken everything from him, okay? And he would have had to, you know, apologize and kneel down and beg for forgiveness. But these are different kinds of people. It would make us a little bit safer if Steve Bannon could go away between now and the election. But let me say this, for the people at the top, you make another great point because they're such cowards. No matter what you think of the January 6th, rebels, treasonist, whatever, you know, they at least did something as misplaced and disgusting as it was.

The guys who called for it, really didn't do a thing. And now they're even ducking responsibility. And I don't know why those who supported, gave money, you know, turned over their last check and now have to probably eat cat food are still supporting people like this. But again, just different kinds of people. Yeah, look, I said it for about two decades of what we're going to do in the show. If somebody asks you to be a suicide bomber, your response should be, you first. And then if you're such a good leader, I'll follow me.

Maybe, we'll see. I wanna see how it turns out for you, okay? And the January 6th guy should have said the same thing to Steve Bannon. You first. Why don't you break into Congress first? And I'll handle the fake elector part, okay? And then we'll see what happens, no. But they were unfortunate they were used as suckers and as cannon fodder.

But they did, they broke the law and they should suffer the consequences. But the leaders broke the law in a much bigger way. And of course the elites take their sweet time getting to those guys. to those guys. 100% yeah. Okay, well, why don't we talk about one more topic to close out the hour, starting with this? No, I'm fed up. I watched what happened. happened to me and my company. I've watched what's happened. I've talked to business

people over the years and what's happened to them when you have political persecution. And now what I've watched what President Trep is on with all these cases. This is just simply, they don't want this guy on the ballot. They can go after any one of us if they want to. And you do not have the resources to do it. Then go after the former president. They can go after you. So that is Senator Rick Scott. And he eventually got around to talking about the the persecution that he believes is happening to Donald Trump. But you notice that he stopped for a second to talk about his own personal experience with persecution. Apparently, in his past, he suffered the same sort of lawfare that poor

Donnie Trump is experiencing. And we looked into it and discovered, oh my God, this guy actually has a pretty sorted past Rick Scott. Did you know that he oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in America's history? Well, if you've been watching TYT for a while, you probably do, because Jenk loves to talk about it and we're going to because Rick Scott broke one of like I guess the only real rules of politics is don't talk about the crimes you've committed. Don't remind people of your scandal. If you committed Medicare fraud, then just hide that in your past. Don't talk about it. If you shot a dog in the head, don't talk about it, you big weirdos. But anyway, I guess something's in the water these days. Maybe it's the fluoride. It's probably

that. But anyway, I want to remind everyone of what actually happened, because he helped to launch this company, HCA Health Care. Back in 1987, he actually led it until 1997, okay? And it was in that year that thanks to a whistleblower, the feds actually began investigating the company, okay? And Columbia, then known as Columbia HCA, it's now HCA Health Care, Build Medicare, Medicaid, the Defense Department's TRICARE health system program, and the federal employees health benefits program for lab tests that were not medically necessary or not ordered by physicians. The company attached false diagnosis codes to patient records in order to increase reimbursement to the hospitals. The company illegally claimed non-reimbursable marketing and advertising costs

as community education. Columbia billed the government for home healthcare visits for patients who did not qualify to receive them. And so, you know, fraud. It's Medicare fraud. They got a bunch of money for stuff that wasn't necessary or didn't happen or didn't happen the way they were saying. It's just classic Medicare fraud for large sums of money. And as a result of it, the investigation bore fruit. They ended up pleading guilty to 14 felonies, most of which were committed during the time that now Senator Rick Scott was leading the company. And it wasn't just the main company that did it. There were some different subsidiaries of Columbia across the U.S. that were charged with felonies. But here's just an idea of some of the crimes that

were shown to have happened violating the Medicare anti-kickback statute, basically they provided kickbacks to physicians that played ball with them, conspiracy to defraud the US and false statements to the US in connection with the submission of false cost reports to Medicare. So look, that's that's all the technical stuff. But what about the scale? Well, in terms of what they built the US government for, look at the fines that they ended up having to pay as a result of this. There were two settlements that came about as a result of this. Rick Scott himself on his old Rick Scott for governor website actually had to admit to this. There was an $840 million settlement in December 2000.

In 2003, there was another $881 million settlement, meaning that the fines and restitution totaled more than $1.7 billion. A huge sum in terms of the fraud that they committed. It's not, by the way, the only big number when it comes to the story. Here's one more for you, despite all of that, Rick Scott, who whistleblowers alleged had to know about all of what was happening with the two sets of books that the company was maintaining, ended up leaving the company with a $5.1 million severance package, $300 million in stock and a $950,000 per year consulting contract for five years. I guess they were very worried once he left that they wouldn't have the on-site expertise when it came to perpetuating Medicare fraud. They wanted to make sure that they had him on retainer. So I know this is one of your favorite stories.

It's crazy that is reminding everyone of it. Yeah, it is. And I put it in my book, Justice is Coming. You can get an autograph copy at shop t.com. Did I say that out loud? Okay, so, and the reason I put it in the book is because it's amazing how bad Democrats are at politics. Wait a minute, we're talking about Republicans. They're weirdly admitting to crimes and shooting puppies and stuff.

So the Republicans look pretty bad at politics. The Democrats have lost to Rick Scott countless times. He won the governorship twice in Florida. He wanted the Senate seat when he is literally one of the biggest crooks in American history. That Medicare fraud, largest Medicare fraud in U.S. history, the $1.7 billion fund, they probably stole more than that. That was just the fine that they had to pay back to the government, okay? But take the $1.7 billion number.

That's stealing from little old grandmas. This guy, they're like, oh, he is a sophisticated businessman. No, he's not. He's just a very ordinary crook. So he found a way to do fraud. And guess what? Because the government is so intensely corrupt, filled to the room with everyone who supports corporate misdeeds, he got away with it.

You know what happened in this case? They said that the company was guilty, but that no human being at the company did it. Who did it? Who's the ghost in the machine? Who, like, so they're like, oh, no, company's super guilty. And the company confessed, oh, we did. Oh, we did Medicare fraud like crazy. Okay, we'll pay you part of the proceeds, right? And but when the government's like, okay, then now you obviously go off to the criminal, Rick Scott, who organized, they had two different sets of books. So they knew 100% that they were lying and cheating and committing fraud. And the government's like, no, I don't see the crime. Yeah, go ahead. So what do you think they're going to give Rick Scott?

Of course they're going to give him a $300 million bonus for a robbery well done. His job was the robbery. Yeah, and then he turns into a governor or senator and still the Democrats can't figure out how to beat this clown. And now he comes out and punches himself in the face and there's a reason for it. Now Republicans believe that their own voters want criminals. So they're going on and be like, I'm just as big a criminal as Trump. Oh, you guys are giving all the credit to Trump. And he's raising all this money because he's got the 91 indictments.

And here's Rick Scott, literally reminding them. Remember, I'm an even bigger criminal than Donald Trump, send me the money. Now, I did my crime a while back, but trust me, I haven't stopped, okay? Now, I'm bilking you in other ways by being a U.S. senator. But I got $300 million for the robbery I did. Now, wait, he's kind of denying it here. So, I mean, back then, he was adamant that he didn't do this, even though his company literally admitted it and confessed, right?

Oh, right, let me read you one last quote here. Back then, he wrote, he said, I've made mistakes in my life, huh? And mistakes were certainly made at Columbia HCA mistakes. They had two different sets of books. I was the CEO of the company, and as CEO, I accept responsibility for what happened on my watch. Do you? I learned very hard lessons from what happened, and those lessons have helped me become a better businessman and leader. Less is I will bring to the governorship with your support and vote.

Really fast, you notice what he says there. He accepts responsibility for what happened, not for what was done. Okay, it's that passive language. The building did it. The desks committed Medicare fraud, I guess. Maybe it was chat GPT or something. He's not saying anything happens specifically. Yeah, and he learned how to be a better businessman.

He's like, I mean, I just made $300 million by robbing you guys blind. I got a great idea. I'll go into the Senate, that way I'll get to rob you even better. Those are the lessons I learned. And then I'll brag about it later as he did today. Sherry. I mean, you know, it's what we're teaching our children as well. Nobody takes accountability, not fully.

You know, I told my daughter don't talk to me that way this morning. And she said, I'm sorry, you feel that way. Okay. And that's just, this is what she said. This is what we're teaching the children of America. But maybe he's turned over a new leaf because I looked up his website and right there, front and center. Senator Rick Scott protecting Florida seniors. He's got to protect our seniors act. He has the supporting older Americans act. He has the financial exploitation prevention

act as well, which is it focuses on seniors and making sure they are protected and not in any way financially exploited. We are at the part where America is so broken and so torn down. I mean, we've never been fully fixed and fully healthy that you don't even hear these politicians try to lie well. They're not even good liars, okay? He knows there'll be no consequence for him. Do you know how many seniors support Rick Scott? Seniors, okay? He preyed on seniors and yet they still support him to this day. Maybe they do want criminals like Jenks said. Yeah, I love that you research what his policy positions are. I'm curious.

Older Americans month, I forgot that. He's got that on his website too. He's proud to join his colleagues. He wants to recognize older Americans for the whole month. See, we're the fairest show in Americans. I'll be fair to Rick Scott. He probably is older Americans must circle down his calendar every year. He's like, that's Christmas for Rick Scott, okay?

Because that's his piggy bank. So, and to be fair to him, he probably wants to protect older Americans so that no one else robs them before he gets a chance to take all their money. By the way, you learn. You learned the research that she did, which I'm glad she did. I learned that we have generic video B roll of senior citizens ready to go, if necessary, laying in bed and reading. I've never seen that before, and I'm deeply disturbed. Yeah, later in the video, Rick Scott busts into their bedroom.

Give me your goddamn money! Okay, and robs them blind, and then there's a press conference bragging about it. All right. Everybody check out Shannon Rebel headquarters. Everybody check out John on Damage. report soon I hope you'll be checking them out with purple hair so fun for everybody love the dragon squad we got an amazing second hour coming up for you guys including apparently Republicans believe that we're this close to the

Muslims taking over here in America well I didn't get the memo so I'm kind of my feelings are hurt let's find out about it when we come back I'm going to be B. B. B. You know,
