Starting point is 00:01:44 Well, ho-ho. The girl! We're going to be able to be. All right, welcome the young Turks, Jake Huger and Experian with you guys. The hostages are home, yes, the 1,700 hostages Israel took from the Palestine and Palestinian territories in Gaza have been returned. Oh right, the 20 Israeli hostages, too. Sorry, I know their lives matter way more.
Starting point is 00:02:45 I was watching American media and I got influenced by it. So anyways, we're gonna break down all of the so-called peace deal, not negotiations, but Theoretical treaty, which will be violated within days by Israel, of course. But nevertheless, we'll break it down for you guys, who's asked that Trump kiss? Who kissed Trump's ass? Was it a good deal, a bad deal? Is it gonna matter at all? So all that is coming up.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Now, at 8 o'clock, I'll give you a quick update on crowdsourcing the revolution. Some really great developments recently. But then we've got an interview with someone who was on the flotilla that Israel, of course kidnapped, he's now back and he's going to be in studio with us and then a couple of guests who were victims of Christian nationalism. So really packed show for you guys tonight. So let's get started. Anna. Well, there is a little bit of good news today, including the hostage release and also the fact that there is some humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip. So why don't we give you updates on that and more. Finally, the emotional, just look at this guys. Emotional is
Starting point is 00:03:55 taking place between those freed hostages and their loved ones that they haven't seen in more than two years, finally coming face to face at a military base in southern Israel. Listen, we also saw more than 1,700 Palestinians from Gaza who were detained over the course of the war, many of them without charge being returned to the Gaza Strip. days in Hamas captivity, all 20 living Israeli hostages have been returned to Israel. They have been reunited with family members. And in exchange, nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees were also released by Israel to Palestine and in some cases deported to other countries like Egypt. Now, let's first begin with the Israeli hostages. There were about
Starting point is 00:04:51 250 of them taken into Gaza on October 7th following Hamas' attack on Israel. About 80 of them have died. Many were released, though, in previous prisoner swaps with Israel, and as I mentioned earlier, 20 of them were released and reunited with their family members in Israel today. So now the remaining 20 living hostage, now that they've been freed, you know, Hamas didn't do any big displays or pageantry like they had in previous hostage releases and the hostages were brought across the border in Vance facilitated by the international Red Cross. You're looking at photos of the hostages who were released today. And obviously those videos of them reunited with their family members is touching.
Starting point is 00:05:37 It's a little bit of good news in this endlessly horrific, brutal genocide that's been carried out in Gaza. But luckily there's something positive to look at today and you're looking at it right now. Yeah, so look, the both the hostages and their families live through an excruciating two years. Seeing the moms and the dads hugging their sons who have come back is super emotional, elated that they're back. We always wanted the hostages back, and we're very glad that they're back now. So that's the 20 Israeli. So now I'm going to spend some time on the 17-100 hostages that Israel took.
Starting point is 00:06:18 from Gaza. Remember, these are not the 250 prisoners. The prisoners are different. They were charged. They were convicted. Yes, Israel runs kangaroo courts where the Palestinians are found guilty, 99% of the time. And the IDF and the settlers that do violence are found innocent. 99% of the time. By the way, those are literal numbers. So they've got courts in the occupied terror. Inside Israel, they do real courts. In the occupied territories, they do total junk oppressor kangaroo courts with mock justice. But the 1,700 that were taken hostage by Israel have never had any charges, even in the kangaroo courts.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Even the smallest little charge, and it's a 99% conviction rate, they didn't bother with that because they're just full out hostages. Now, you remember all their pled because American media couldn't stop talking about, oh, right, American media didn't care about them at all. 1,700 Palestinian hostages to American media meant nothing, zero. All of them combined don't equal one human, not one hostage equivalent, right? Because the American media agrees with Israel. Those Palestinians are subhuman.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Their 58-year brutal, disgusting, humiliating occupation is irrelevant. And in fact, it's a good thing to be celebrated. Israel needs to be safe. Israel needs to be safe. And they have to oppress everyone around them to be safe. The 1,700 hostages are never taken into account. And the Palestinians lives who are murdered, 66,000 at least murdered, 10,000 under the rubble. None of it counts, but the 20 actual human being, Israelis, those are the humans, the American press and the international press, is going nuts.
Starting point is 00:08:02 The 20 are back, 20 real human beings, which I agree with. The Palestinians, who cares about them? And by the way, Israel will now take more hostages because they can take more hostages anytime they want, never have to bring any charges, and the American media will bury it, and the American government will send them a check for it. So that's what happened today. So I want to just go back to the Israeli hostages for a minute because as we mentioned, you know, not all of the hostages survived, 20 of the living hostages return today.
Starting point is 00:08:33 However, Hamas is supposed to also return the remains of the deceased. Now, they did release the bodies of four deceased hostages back to Israel. That did cause some outrage because under the terms of this ceasefire deal, and let me just be clear, both parties have accepted the first stage of the ceasefire deal. The rest of it remains vague and kind of up in the air. But under what they did agree to, Hamas was supposed to release. all 28 bodies. Obviously they haven't done that yet. But it was understood even before the agreement was signed that retrieving and returning these bodies would be difficult and would likely
Starting point is 00:09:15 take days thanks to the destruction in Gaza. Remember, Gaza has been leveled. And while the Israeli government would like you to think that it's okay, it's only going to impact those terrible Palestinians, many of whom happen to be minors, don't worry. Our hostages are going to be okay. under heavy aerial bombardment, under a siege, under, you know, these starvation conditions that were implementing and imposing on the Palestinian people, that actually ended up not being the case. So Hamas is apparently trying to find the bodies and return them. And there is an international task force that is going to be charged with recovering the rest of the bodies nonetheless. Now, the Israeli defense minister, Israel, Kat said in a statement on X, that any delay or deliberate
Starting point is 00:10:01 avoidance will be considered a gross violation of the agreement and will be responded to accordingly. Later in the show, we'll talk a little bit more about the trip wires that are kind of baked into this agreement, essentially setting up the Palestinians to fail for Hamas to, you know, fall on one of those said trip wires and give Israelis the excuse to engage in their campaign of annihilation once again. Now, back to the Palestinian prisoners, Jank is right. This is a common by the Israelis, they tend to just detain Palestinians, keep them in prison without charging them with a single crime. So of the nearly 2,000 Palestinians who were released as part of this deal, the vast majority
Starting point is 00:10:48 of them had never been charged with a single crime, 250 of them had been tried and convicted of crimes. So there were 250 prisoners specifically. Some were released in Ramallah and Gaza while others were deported to 3,000. Egypt, reporters on the ground say the Palestinians were warned not to celebrate their release and threatened, they were threatened with arrest if they did. So for all of the Israel supporters on social media who are wondering why people aren't celebrating this ceasefire deal, I mean, some people literally can't celebrate because if they do,
Starting point is 00:11:26 they're gonna have to deal with Israeli terror. So among those not released include prominent Palestinians like Hassam Abu Safia. This is a particularly egregious and disgusting case because he's the former director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. He refused to abandon his patients and he paid a heavy price for that. Israel detained him and they refused to release him. You also have Marwan Bargudi, a popular leader who was convicted by an Israeli military court of murder charges back in 2004.
Starting point is 00:11:58 And again, the other 1,700 people released were Palestinians that had not been taken from Gaza, that had been taken from Gaza by Israeli troops and held without charge. Israeli forces detained thousands of Palestinians during the war in raids on shelters and hospitals, you know, where all the dangerous people hang out. And at checkpoints stopping families as they fled their homes amid military operations, more were held under laws passed in Israel at the start of the war that allowed Palestinians to be detained for months as unlawful combatants without judicial review or access to lawyers. And if you guys can recall, Israeli prison guards were caught on camera raping some of these
Starting point is 00:12:41 Palestinian hostages. And when it appeared as though maybe the Israeli government might punish some of these Israeli prison guards for committing rape, there were protests against it by Israeli civilians. So because they're pro-raped terrorists. Those people that are protesting are like, oh my God, well, now we don't get to rape the Palestinians and imprison them for no reason and occupy and steal their land, anti-Semite. Don't miss any of the excitement this football season on prize picks where it's good to be right, and I love being right.

So Jake, one of the, one of the Israeli hostages, I'm sorry, Palestinian hostages who was detained by the Israelis, was an 18 year old autistic, autistic man by the, you're looking at video of him right now, Omar Yaya al-Kinarawi, and it's hard to imagine that they looked
Starting point is 00:15:22 at him, this autistic 18 year old, and thought, oh yeah, dangerous terrorist. It's just who knows what kind of unspeakable, disgusting things happened to him while he was detained by the Israelis. Another free detainee was Hitham Salim, who reportedly learned upon his release that, this is a really hard video to watch, so I want to give you guys a warning, who learned upon release that his wife and children were killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza. Take a look. Those are among the videos and Those are among the videos and images that cannot be unseen.
Starting point is 00:16:18 So regardless of how much the, you know, How much these disgusting billionaire Israel defenders try to buy up our media and pump us with propaganda in favor of Israel, those images and those videos are seared in our minds. And on top of that, you have President Donald Trump, who's like so utterly brazen and open about his corruption. And the fact that he does, as he's told by his masters like Miriam Edelson, do you think MAGA is going to forget about that? I doubt it. Jake. Yeah, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:16:52 So, by the way, you'll see that on social media for the moment being until Larry Ellison buys all of social media on behalf of Israel. That's a plan. Right. And but you're not going to see it on mainstream media, don't be crazy, right? So those are just Palestinians. The mainstream media thinks they're subhuman. Oh, you, Israel murdered your wife and kid, or you had it coming.
Starting point is 00:17:13 It was your fault for being a Palestinian. What are you sitting there on Israeli, greater Israel, Israeli land that's greater Israel for? That's Judea and Samar. the hell out. Otherwise, you're going to get Israel gets a murder all of you. And you're all dirty terrorists anyway, right? That's how American media has treated Palestinians their whole lives, and that's how they're treating them now. So everybody's going crazy over the 20 people that are returned, because again, they're real, they're humans. But the Palestinians returned to an absolutely leveled gaza. We're going to talk more about it in a minute. 83% of the buildings
Starting point is 00:17:44 are gone, gone, gone. Israel leveled the place. And we're going to tell you more of the damage that they did a little bit later in the show. And the American media is like, yes, so what, though? They're just stupid Palestinians. They're not precious Israelis. In fact, if you think, wait, Jane, come on, you sound like you're exaggerating. No, Christine Alamun Poor for a brief second was made the mistake of being honest. And she said, the hostages are being returned.
Starting point is 00:18:08 And, you know, they had a better fate than some of the people in Gaza. Now, that's an empirically true statement. At least 66,000 Palestinians have been murdered, 83% civilian kill ratio, the worst in the world. That means the IDF is worse terrorists than Hamas and any other terrorist group out there. They kill more civilians on average per 100 people, and they did 70 October 7s. So obviously some of the people in Gaza were killed in a terribly unjust way, sniper shots, bombs that had their heads explode, et cetera. So of course, Hamipur had to come out and apologize and said, Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:18:48 No, of course Israeli lives are more important. Of course they are. I'm so sorry I even brought up those dead Palestinians. Who cares about them? They're subhuman. Beloved Israel, beloved Israel. She had to apologize. Apologize for saying that maybe the people who are murdered by Israel are Warsaw.
Starting point is 00:19:07 No, shh, that would be like treating the Palestinians as if they're human. And that is not allowed in American media. Apologize to Israel. And she did. And every once in a while, to point to Ammphor is like, oh, we even let her on TV. Every once in a while, she'll have like a half a percent of critique of Israel. And then she'll have to come back and go, I'm so sorry. Of course, the Israeli lives are more important than the Palestinians.
Starting point is 00:19:35 They don't see it. They're so disgustingly racist, everyone in American mainstream media, that they're like, What do you mean that Palestinians are terrorists and the Israelis are so moral and beautiful. And they can't see. It's like asking their fish, how's the water? They're like, what water? So you'll excuse me, like I, but nevertheless, we care about all human beings and we don't react in the same way they do. I would genuinely thrilled at those hostages, the 20 hostages are back, seeing the dad reaction holding on to his son.
Starting point is 00:20:09 And I felt great empathy for that. Did one person in mainstream media show the same degree of empathy for a single Palestinian hostage that was returned today? And not 20, but 1,700 hostages, let alone the massacre after massacre after massacre. No, only sympathy towards Israelis, never sympathy towards Palestinians. So and guys, bottom line is, it's not like, I'm not against the Trump peace deal, I say should Hamas should take it. I'm glad they did. I'm glad Trump made the effort. He did. He made an effort, okay? And we're gonna criticize it for him, you know, kissing up to the donors
Starting point is 00:20:46 in a minute, but at least he tried on the peace. And, and we have theoretical peace for however long it lasts, which will be a couple of days. Mac, I can't imagine it'll go past two weeks. And then Israel will say, the Palestinians made us go back to murdering them, back to taking their land. We had no choice and everyone on cable news will go, the Palestinians made the Israelis do it. They're the dirty terrorist savages. Kill, kill, kill, kill. And if anybody criticized Israel, anti-Semite, anti-Semite, ruin your life, ruin your life, ruin your life. No one's allowed to criticize Israel. Now when I say, hey, I'm so glad those 20 are back and I'm glad the 1700 are back. You go on social media. How dare you? How do I only believe you?
Starting point is 00:21:29 You have to say that they're more important. They're more important. They're not more important. They're equally important, okay? But Israel doesn't care about Palestinian lives, because they're a sick, racist, terrorist government at this point. There isn't anything on the planet that could get me to apologize to Israel or Israel's defenders. Kristian Amampur apologizing, I don't know how she could debase herself like that. After she said something that was true, like it's, I can't, I literally can't believe it. I mean, I get it. I get it. I mean, you don't want to lose your career. I would rather eat rice and beans for the rest of my life. Anyway, we got to take a break. But when we come back, I want to talk a
Starting point is 00:22:11 little bit about what the ceasefire means for the Palestinian people, what the scenes are like as Palestinians attempt to return to their homes in various parts of the Gaza Strip, including the North. Lots to get to. Don't miss it. We'll be right back. I'm back on T. Also, F. Mur long high, so I don't know how to pronounce it, but I do know you're awesome. Thank you for joining through t.com. And then societal anthropology, thank you for joining through the join button on YouTube. You guys are amazing. We appreciate you. Anna. All right, well, let's talk about what the Gaza Strip looks like now that there has
Starting point is 00:23:07 been a stop in the intensity of bombings by the Israelis. Over the weekend, displaced Palestinians made their journey to the neighborhoods they're from in the Gaza Strip with the hope that they would find their homes in somewhat livable conditions. But as you can see from this video, That wasn't the case for the vast majority of Palestinians. Israel, of course, raised much of the Gaza Strip. And this type of destruction is going to be incredibly costly to reconstruct, and will take a very long time to reconstruct. Now, Israeli forces are said to have dropped more explosives on Gaza Strip,
Starting point is 00:23:50 which is what, a five square mile strip of land, Then the amount of explosive dropped on London, Dresden, and Hamburg combined, combined in the Second World War. I have one other amazing fact for you guys. Israel dropped the equivalent of about six atomic bombs on Gaza. So that's the size of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima, based on kilotons dropped in Gaza, the equivalent of about six nuclear bombs. bombs in Gaza. So Randy Fein got his wish. They were basically nuked, but through a great number of bombs. And that's why you're seeing the mass destruction there. And obviously, that is not targeted. That is collective punishment. That is why the government of Israel are literal
Starting point is 00:24:44 terrorists. So let's hear from the Palestinians who returned to their neighborhoods and discuss what they found. Entire families erased. Entire cities wiped out. I've been displaced for two years, living on the sidewalks with no shelter and nowhere to save. I just want to reach my home. God willing, things will be better. I'm happy about the truth and peace, even though I'm a mother of a son and a daughter who were killed, and I grieve for them deeply. Fidah Haraz is hoping to find her home.
Starting point is 00:25:16 But she can't even tell where her street once was. I'm walking in the street, but I don't know where to go. to go. I don't know where the crossroads are or where my home is, a house of multiple floors, but nothing is left. I did not find our home or our neighbor's home or our relatives home. All the relatives that near me no longer have homes. All is gone. Everything was destroyed. There are no homes or life. When I was told in the morning that my home was gone, I didn't know what to do. I was already crying for my siblings that I lost. How can I come back and not find them waiting for me.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Just absolutely devastating. Just to clarify, Gaza is 141 square miles long, I believe, and five square miles wide. So I just wanted to correct that error I made earlier. Now more than 500,000 Palestinians have returned to Gaza City since the ceasefire went into effect to find total devastation. So the United Nations Satellite Center estimated that 83% of all structures in Gaza City had been destroyed or had some damage by late September. So that's Gaza City. The number jumps up to 93% when it comes to residential buildings and structures throughout the Gaza Strip. So around
Starting point is 00:26:35 2 million Palestinians in Gaza are now homeless, thanks to two straight years of IDF terrorism. Now most of Gaza's crops and vegetation have also been destroyed, 97% of tree crops, 95% of shrubs, and 82% of annual crops are gone. Just complete annihilation in the Gaza Strip. Ghazan Shirin Abul Yacani says some 61 million tons of debris will, I'm sorry, this is from Reuters, 61 million tons of debris will need to be cleared across the territory, the equivalent of 25 Eiffel Towers by volume. According to the UN, this is the UN's environment program.
Starting point is 00:27:15 And according to estimates by the World Bank, rebuilding Gaza, will cost more than $50 billion. Now, we, the American taxpayers, have bankrolled the destruction in Gaza, and it remains to be seen how much we are going to be expected to pay for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. But for those who survived Israel's aggression and genocide, those people actually end up being the more fortunate ones in this entire scenario in the Gaza Strip, because nearly 68,000 Palestinians have been killed in the strip. As of Sunday, the health ministry's violent death toll has reached 67,806, and the number
Starting point is 00:27:57 of wounded has reached 170,06, meaning at a minimum, 237,872, Palestinians have been killed or injured in Gaza. Following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, the figure represents more than 10% of Gaza's pre-war population of 2.3 million. But even that is expected to be an undercount. And I'll tell you why, because guess what? Some bodies have already been recovered from under the rubble now that a ceasefire is in effect. But wait till I tell you just how many Palestinians remain missing and are presumed dead.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Before I do that, Jank, any thoughts? Yeah. So as they were leaving, they started setting the place on fire. Of course they did, because they're terrorists. So the IDF, if they didn't set the place on fire, they'd leave messages for the Palestinians who came back to their homes. Things like enjoy sluts and we'll be back. So just to further terrorize the innocent civilian population, because they're the IDF, they're the world's largest terrorist organization. So they lit the sewage plant on fire so that more disease
Starting point is 00:29:07 would spread so that more young children would die from that disease. Why? Because they're the IDF, the world's largest terrorist organization. And we fund them. We give them money to be terrorists like that. Yeah. And now, will Israel be forced to pay the $50 billion in damage they did? A, of course not. They never pay for their own crimes.
Starting point is 00:29:26 They never pay for anything, right? Second of all, if they had to pay anything back, they would just say, we're not going to pay it. Hey, America, our errand boys, give us money. Shut up, you anti-Semites. You're all hateful bigots unless you hand your wallet's over. Let's go America. Give me your wallets. Now you're paying for this, okay? Because we already paid for the genocide. We already spent $21 billion in the middle of the genocide.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Normally we give them $4 billion a year. Why, no one ever explains it other than special ally. I don't know what that is other than propaganda. And they say, no, you owe us. Not only you owe us $4 billion a year. Now you owe us $21 billion for the genocide. And the cleanup, they're $50 billion clean up. We are not doing it at all, okay? It's our job to murder and destroy. It's not our job to clean up. And if anybody's going to clean up, Americans, let's go, let's go you anti-Semites, hurry up, give me the money and get to work. Okay, and 200 already sent to Israel, and God knows how many more will be sent later because
Starting point is 00:30:25 we don't have American sovereignty. We have Israel running this country. Now keep in mind, again, that the death toll figures are considered an undercount. There have been several studies showing that there is an undercount. For instance, there are some studies showing that the undercount is by as much as 40%, which is insane. And if that is proven, after all the bodies are recovered from under the rubble, that would mean that close to 100,000. and Palestinians were killed by the Israelis. Now the estimate also, keep this in mind, doesn't factor in deaths caused by the Israeli
Starting point is 00:31:21 siege due to starvation, disease, the destruction of Gaza's healthcare infrastructure, and other factors, figures that could take years to determine. Now, when it comes to the missing Palestinians right now, of the missing Palestinians that we know of, there are about 10,000, and they are presumed to be. be dead, buried under the rubble. On Saturday, 116 bodies were recovered, and on Sunday, 117 bodies were recovered. But the recovery process is taking a long time, partly because there aren't the, they don't have the heavy machinery necessary to help them dig under the rubble. So they're hoping that Israel will allow that type of machinery to come in to assist
Starting point is 00:32:08 with the recovery efforts. It remains to be seen whether Israel will allow that to happen. For now, they're using pickaxes and their bare hands in order to dig and try to find the remains of family members under the rubble. Now, on top of that, debris is full of unexploded bombs and ordinances. So today there was a story about Palestinian children getting injured as a result of one of those unexploded bombs going off. Khalid al-Aubi, who is a civil defense chief for northern Gaza, told the guardian that at first we are focusing on collecting the corpses lying in the streets to preserve what remains of them, especially with the presence of stray dogs that have been attacking the bodies.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Dr. Mohammed al-Mugear, who is the director of the humanitarian support and international cooperation at the Gaza Civil Defense Agency, says that if Israel allows for the heavy, equipment to enter the strip, recovering all missing 10,000 bodies that we know of will take six months. Yeah, all right, so at least 10,000. If Russia did this, let's just talk about that. Let's talk about if Russia did this, wall to wall coverage. Well, that's- We might drop a nuke on Russia if they did this. Yeah, and so by the way, Israel is killed far more journalists, far more human rights workers,
Starting point is 00:33:35 far more civilians than Russia has in Ukraine and in a much, much smaller area, right? So now, it's interesting that you say that in it, because the first thing I was going to ask you guys to do is imagine if the roles were reversed. But the Palestinians had killed so many Israelis that they were, the Israelis were worried that the dogs were going to eat the dead bodies in the streets. And the Palestinians wouldn't let the Israelis have food or aid or any equipment to dig out their dead. And the Israelis have to remove the, you know, the rubble hand by hand to recover their dead Jewish relatives, okay? There would be what? It'd be nonstop talk, right? Wall-to-wall coverage forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. There
Starting point is 00:34:23 would be movie after movie after movie about never again, never again, never again. But so and there should be, because that's horrific. What's happened to Gaza is horrific. And if it happened to Israelis, it would be equally horrific. And there should be moving after moving. But it happens to the Palestinians, America media barely cares. Talk to 20 Israelis have returned, the 20 actual human beings. Okay, well, on the last day, how many people were killed? 91 about?
Starting point is 00:34:51 Yeah. So 91 Palestinians killed on the last day of bombing, even after Trump said to stop bombing. According to ABC News. According to ABC News. Ninety one higher than 20, right? But that was just an average day. Who cares, they're just Palestinians, they're subhuman. Murder, murder, murder, murder, murder, murder all of them you want.
Starting point is 00:35:08 And the dogs are eating him in the streets, who cares? Because American media got you to believe that Palestinians are the terrorists. And they're the savages, and they're the terrible people, and they're the violent people. So any violence Israel does to them, they had it coming, it was their fault. By the way, now that the ceasefire is in effect, Israel says, you know, we're not going to engage in any offensive, military operations, only defensive. And so they bombed a school for blind children in Gaza. Of course they did, because they're sick terrorists.
Starting point is 00:35:43 And is that gonna lead the news today on cable news? The only reason why I know about it is because independent news covered it. Of course, of course, they're gonna bury it. Because they don't do the news. They do propaganda for all the donors, including Israel. So it's inconvenient for the donors that Israel happens to be run by a bunch of sick terrorists, and they're mauling and massacring people and blind children and letting Palestinians be eaten in the streets by dogs, but they're only Palestinians. So the
Starting point is 00:36:16 beloved Israelis must be, must never be criticized, okay? I'm going to ignore that for here to eternity. I don't care what names you call us. So they say, oh my God, of the hostages that were deceased, four were returned, but there's another 24. and they're having trouble finding the bodies. Well, they're having trouble finding 10 to 40,000 Palestinian bodies, but I know they're just subhuman Palestinians. So that 40,000 is irrelevant.
Starting point is 00:36:46 The only matters, people that matters, all these Israelis, where are the Israelis? Where are the humans? Where are the humans? Okay, so look at this, 24 we're worried about, and of course I want them return. On the first day, 116 bodies were recovered, Palestinian bodies, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Only Palestinians, though. And then on the second day, on Sunday, 117 were recovered. But tens of thousands more to go, but American media and American politicians couldn't care less about them. But the beloved, most important, superior Israelis, 20 of them have been returned, but there's still some dead ones there. Even a dead Israelis worth 10,000 alive Palestinians, according to our sick, disgusting, mainstream media.
Starting point is 00:37:33 All right, let's take a break. When we come back, I want to talk a little bit about the fragility of the ceasefire and the likelihood or lack of likelihood that it's going to hold. We'll talk about some of the statements coming from specific members of the Israeli government and more. Don't miss it. All right, back on TYT, Jen Canana with you guys.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Look, all of you have wonderful comments here. I'll read one here. Votstar for on t.com, a member said, I used to believe in a two-state solution, but now I think we need to replace Israel with a democratic state, including former Israelis and Palestinians as voting citizens. Foreigners with dual citizenship should be excluded.
Starting point is 00:38:30 So look, there's nothing wrong with that idea. I'd love to have a democracy there where Palestinians and Israelis live peacefully together. But there is less than a 0% chance that Israel will allow that. Israel hates, despises the idea of democracy. Who would trust the Israelis under any circumstance at this point? No, Palestinians deserve their own state free of Israeli meddling, free of their disgusting, low-sum war crimes and behavior. No, I want them to be free of the Israelis, okay?
Starting point is 00:38:59 Yeah, so I agree. with you, but my point is that Israel would never allow a democracy where they're outvoted because the whole point of the country is, is exclusionary. No, it is not a Muslim state. It's not a Christian state. It's not a democracy. Stop calling it a democracy. It can't be a Jewish state and a democracy. That's what Ben Gavir said actually. It just can't. Ben Gavir has said that on the record. By the way, that is logically impossible. Yet every moron in American media will say not only is it possible, if you don't declare it, the greatest democracy in the Middle East, you're an anti-Semite.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Now, okay, I'm done with them. I'm done with them. You go take your love for Israeli terrorists and shove it up your ass. I'm not interested in it, and you call me any name you like it, and I guarantee you I'll call you 10,000 times worse. Okay, and then we'll have a fight over who's a bigger jerk. And my guess is I will win in getting you guys to be recognized. as this sick, disgusting Israeli propagandist you are, I'm already winning online.
Starting point is 00:40:04 That's what's driving them crazy. Not me, but our entire movement of actually showing the truth, showing the truth instead of nothing but wall-to-wall Israeli propaganda. So go ahead, mainstream media, kiss some more Israeli ass, a more terrorist ass, and see how it turns out for you. And then you get the polls, oh, we're down to 7% in credibility. Gee, I wonder why. Because you're not doing the news.
Starting point is 00:40:30 We can all see you now. You're doing propaganda. So you call us any names you like. We'll call you any names we like and see how it turns out for you. Michelle, thank you for signing up on t.com. All right, let's get to our next story. I kept my promise and officially recognized the capital of Israel and moved the American embassy to Jerusalem. Is it that right, Miriam?
Starting point is 00:40:56 Look at Miriam. She's back there. Stand up, man. Stand up. Miriam and Sheldon would come into the office. They'd call me. It'd call me. I think they had more trips to the White House than anybody else that could think of. Look at her sitting there so innocently. She's got $60 billion in the bank, $60 billion. She loves this country. Her and her husband are so incredible. We miss him so dearly. But I actually asked her, I'm going to get her in trouble with this, but I actually asked her once they said, So Miriam, I know you love Israel. What do you love more? The United States or Israel? She refused to answer.
Starting point is 00:41:33 That means, that might mean Israel, I must say. In that case, her citizenship should be revoked and she should be deported to Israel where she belongs. Now, President Donald Trump thanked his masters while visiting Israel today, Miriam Adelson being one of them. For those wondering who she is, she is the woman who bribed him with $100 million. in the last election cycle in order to essentially get the president to allow Israel to annex the West Bank, which they're currently in the process of doing. At least Trump understands how things work in the American political system. He knows where the bread gets buttered. And in fact, he knew all the way dating back to October of 2015 when he tweeted this. Sheldon Adelson,
Starting point is 00:42:19 Mary Madelson's husband, is looking to give big dollars to Marco Rubio because he feels he can mold Rubeo into his perfect little puppet. I agree. Well today, that puppet is President Donald Trump. Jank, over to you. So Sheldon and Mary Madelson, over three election cycles have given Donald Trump more than $337 million in legalized bribes. So the Supreme Court says, no, they're just campaign contributions and independent expenditures. By the way, that does not include dark money. That just includes the money we know of. That is a massive amount of money. Everyone that has two brain cells to rub together says, well, that's obviously bribery.
Starting point is 00:43:04 They, Mary Madelson and Sheldon giving money to Trump, and then Trump does whatever they want. In fact, Trump brags about doing whatever they want. That is not the first time that he has mentioned that he moved the embassy on behalf of the Edelson's. He has said it publicly before because one of the reasons they gave him that bribe, but there were many reasons. I actually outlined it in my book, Justice is Coming, it is incredibly well sourced and has been checked over and over again. So one of the reasons was they wanted him to move the embassy. And now in the last election cycle, by the way, one of the demands that Miriam had was also
Starting point is 00:43:42 to allow America to let Israel annex the West Bank. There is no Hamas in the West Bank, but it has nothing to do with Hamas, it has nothing do with self-defense, Miriam Aedelson and Sheldon Aedelson are Zionist zealots who believe in greater Israel. So their mission is to have America finance the theft of Palestinian land, and of course the genocide and ethnic cleansing that comes along with it. And now Trump is bragging about it. And in some of those pictures that were next to me, you just saw Trump putting a medal on her. What is that about? Well, after Sheldon, her late husband, gave a 200 million dollars in the last two cycles 2020 and 2020. I'm sorry, 2016 and 2020. He gave Miriam
Starting point is 00:44:30 Edelson a presidential medal of freedom. She looks like a villain. It's amazing. So look, presidential medal of freedom used to be the highest honor in America. Now it's a chotchki you throw in if you get enough. And you get these ginsu knives. You get the West Bank, you get to slaughter the everybody in the Gaza Strip. You get to steal all their lands and set up greater or Israel. And if you act now and give me $337 million, I'll throw Kinsu knives and a presidential medal of freedom in for you. And then I'll say it publicly in front of everyone. Oh, by the way, there's Miriam, the person who betrayed America and couldn't answer the simplest question. What are you more loyal to? America or Israel? That's the
Starting point is 00:45:11 easiest question in the world. America is the correct answer because we came here to be Americans. But she couldn't answer that question. Why? Because everybody knows. You You come here, you become a citizen here, she's also an Israeli citizen, you can become a citizen here so you could funnel Israeli money into American politicians legally, and then when people tell you, hey, it looks like your PAC says it's done on behalf of Israel, a foreign government, you go, how dare you, that is anti-semitic dual loyalty trope? How dare you? It's literally true, it is literally true.
Starting point is 00:45:46 She's a good little foot soldier for a foreign government, and clearly as Trump admitted in front of everyone today, she loves Israel more than the United States. So why are you here? Other than to, you know, facilitate- To bribe our politicians. Yeah, of money in the form of bribes from a foreign government to our politicians. And then the transfer of U.S. taxpayer money from our country to Israel. So they can commit their atrocities and engage in empire building. Anyway, so that's what's going on. It's just So utterly loathsome and disgusting, but that is what we're dealing with here. The fact that he talked about that is if it's something to joke about, something to laugh about,
Starting point is 00:46:27 something to have a good time about. These people are traders to the country, okay? They are. So look guys, the Supreme Court legalized those bribes, but they're still bribes. It's not like Mary Madelson and Sheldon gave him $337 million so that he could do good in the world or cure cancer or some other reason. No, they very explicitly gave it to him to help a foreign government. And Trump says it all the time.
Starting point is 00:46:54 So like every person with common sense, 99% of us see yes, this is obviously on behalf of Israel. Then Trump says, yes, I took the donor money and then I sold American foreign policy to that donor. He says it right in front of everyone. The only people left not acknowledging it are the reporters in mainstream media even though the heat Trump says it himself Trump says it himself and they're like nope nope nope nope nope let's hide the donor class let's hide the Israeli supporters here in America and let's if anybody criticize them anti-semit ruin their lives so what are you guys you're not news you're
Starting point is 00:47:37 Israeli you're pathetic Israeli propagandists everyone in mainstream media go ahead well let's talk a little bit about this feast fire and whether or not, it's gonna hold something that we're hoping for, but be cautiously optimistic. So let's get into the details. President Donald Trump absolutely swears that the war between Hamas and Israel is over. According to Ryan Grimm, aboard Air Force One, Trump was asked about Netanyahu's refusal to say that the war is over, which is by the way, a huge red flag. Trump responded with, the war is over, the war is over, the war is over, okay?
Starting point is 00:48:17 Do you understand that? But while everyone seems to be celebrating the end of the war, in my opinion prematurely today, the ceasefire in Gaza remains in a fragile state with tripwires and questionable statements coming from members of Israel's government. Why don't we start with Benjamin Netanyahu, who said that the military campaign isn't over yet, and for those listening to the audio version, when we come back from the video, I'll read you as quote. And I want to tell you,
Starting point is 00:48:46 but I want to tell you, we've got to but in that I have to tell to you, the matter, there's still end upgareing
Starting point is 00:48:57 bigotty and we're trying to get-netshacken to get us and as soon and as as we're on it, we're on
Starting point is 00:49:07 it. There's some those not we had done we had done, that's just because of the necunals that we've ever. I'm sure that in the koshesotafing, we'll getber on the endgareemmesh,
Starting point is 00:49:19 and we'll ammash the hisdanovoyote. So again, for those listening to the audio version of the show, he says that the campaign is not over. There are still very big security challenges ahead of us. Some of our enemies are trying to recover in order to attack us again, and as they say here, we are on it.
Starting point is 00:49:38 So let me just note that he's not being specific about which enemies he's referring to. So is it war with Lebanon? Is it continuing the military operations in the Gaza Strip? Is it potential war with Iran, which by the way has been ramping up in regard to some of the rhetoric we've been hearing in the Israeli government and even among some U.S. officials? We don't know for sure. But the other statements coming from members of the Knesset certainly caused some concern. So in addition to that, according to the times of Israel. Israel to shift focus to raising Gaza tunnels, Katz says. And the person they're referring to, of course, is Israel Katz, is the Israeli defense minister. Here's what he had to say.
Starting point is 00:50:24 The major challenge for Israel after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas's terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF, and through the international mechanism to be established under U.S. leadership and supervision. They were in Gaza for two years straight. They've raised Gaza, they've leveled the Gaza Strip. Over 93% of the residential structures have been completely destroyed in the Gaza Strip. We're talking about literally millions of people who are left homeless with absolutely no infrastructure whatsoever. No water, no roads, nothing, no schools, hospitals have been destroyed.
Starting point is 00:51:06 You want to go back in to deal with the tunnels. You couldn't deal with the tunnels first? That couldn't be the, it's BS. They're going to go back in, they're looking for the excuse, that's what this is. He also says, this is the primary meaning of implementing the agreed principle of demilitarizing Gaza, not Hamas, demilitarizing Gaza and disarming Hamas, Kat says, adding that he instructed the IDF to prepare to carry out the mission. So demilitarizing any country means that it's not a country.
Starting point is 00:51:40 country. They have no means to defend themselves. And considering the fact that the Palestinian people would be living next door to Israel, a country that wants to steal their land and has treated them like absolute animals, I would venture to say that they would want some sort of military, some sort of means to defend themselves. But of course, Israel doesn't want that. And the real question is, why? Why don't they want that? Yeah. So they claim, of course, oh, we're not safe, we're not safe. We're not safe until Everyone around us is dead or totally subjugated. No weapons, no food, no aid, just groveling on the ground to us.
Starting point is 00:52:18 And then we'll feel deeply superior to them and we'll feel great about it. If you say, oh, Jen, come on, that seems like, are we still talking about exaggeration? Are we after they murdered over 67,000 people, over 20,000 kids? So on their way out, they lit a bunch of fires, talked about the sewage plant earlier in the show. They also did a whole bunch of homes, they burned the food on their way out, the IDF did. And then they would make videos, IDF soldiers laughing, or we burned it to the ground. I mean, they look exactly like the Nazis. Ha ha ha ha, ha, we killed you.
Starting point is 00:52:53 And then we burned it down and we turned into a cesspool. I always wondered how to hell did the Germans turn into Nazis? Well, apparently this is how. because they're taught in their heads and there is massive propaganda inside Israel. The Palestinians are the dirtiest terrorist. They're savage Muslims are the worst. You should hate all the Muslims. They're coming to kill you.
Starting point is 00:53:17 They're going to kill all of you. You have to kill them first. Kill them first. They teach their children. Everything that they accuse the Palestinians of is projection. It's a confession by the Israelis. They teach their children to despise the Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims. They teach them that they're all terrorists.
Starting point is 00:53:32 They teach them that they had their subhuman and that the Israelis are, oh, they're all, we're all going to die. You're the one that doesn't let them exist. Stop with the lie about, oh, Israel might not exist. They have nuclear weapons, iron dome, et cetera. They exist. They will exist to eternity. Palestine doesn't exist. You goddamn liars, Palestine doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:53:58 That is the problem. But you see Netanyahu, never listen to Nanjahu when he's speaking English. Only listen to it when he's speaking in Hebrew. Yep. So when he's doing English, that's propaganda. That's not for his home audience. That's for the idiots in American media.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Hey, dogs, dogs, come here. Come here, doggy, come here doggy. Oh, Israel is moral and wonderful. And the Palestinians are dirty savages. Oh, they're dirty savages. Netanyahu said it. We have to write it down. And then he goes in Hebrew and he goes,
Starting point is 00:54:27 the campaign's not over. I'm not doing this peace deal. You crazy? No, he said it was a great opportunity to do more. You saw it in Hebrew, great opportunity, guys, the campaign's not over. And what are they gonna do? They're gonna pretend the Palestinians made them stay and made them kill them more. Oh, the tunnels and it's right, okay, you wanna get rid of the tunnels, I get it.
Starting point is 00:54:49 You had two years, why didn't you get rid of the tunnels? Too busy leveling the whole Gaza's right? Why did you destroy the hospitals, the schools that had no one in them, university, the entire university is level. Why did you bother destroying empty university buildings, but didn't destroy the tunnels? It's almost like you want them as an excuse while you're in the middle of committing a genocide so you could steal that land exactly as we said. The tunnels are the only thing you didn't destroy? Oh, come on, who would be stupid enough to believe that? All right, literally every single person in mainstream media. They had to go back in for the
Starting point is 00:55:27 tunnels okay and of course they're gonna say here I'll tell you ahead of time so that way you know it's Israeli propaganda because it's predictable they will say Hamas did not surrender enough they did not disarm enough there's still tunnels we had no choice we didn't break the ceasefire they broke the ceasefire by not submitting to us and groveling to us enough and since they are and we did not get the abject humiliation and the entire genocide that we ordered, we're gonna have to keep going. Hey, dogs in American media, say Hamas did it. Say the Palestinians are guilty and we have to murder them. And they will all go, they had to
Starting point is 00:56:07 murder them. Of course, everyone's an anti-Semite who disagrees. And of course, we all bow our heads to Israel, but they don't control anything, anti-Semite. And I appreciate the honesty of Basel Smotrich, as always. He just says what he actually thinks and what they plan to do out loud with he were really no shame. So he says that he clearly doesn't want to stop terrorizing the Palestinians. He says, quote, a tremendous responsibility to ensure that this is not, God forbid, a deal of hostages in exchange for stopping the war, as Hamas thinks and boasts. See? Immediately after the hostages return home, he's saying it out loud, everyone.
Starting point is 00:56:50 This isn't me. This is Basel al-Smotrich Israeli finance minister. Immediately after the hostages return home, the state of Israel will continue to strive with all its might for the true eradication of Hamas and the genuine disarmament of Gaza so that it no longer poses a threat to Israel. They're going to go right back in. Yeah, of course. They're just, they're telling you. So believe them. They already have 53% of Gaza. They're not going to leave.
Starting point is 00:57:18 They're supposed to withdraw to a security permit. They're not withdrawing to a security perimeter. They're going to go further into Gaza because this is about. Look, Smotrich has said it a thousand times. Ben Gavira said it, Netanyahu has said it. Nanjahu said that Israel is going to take the land from the river to the sea. The thing that American media told us was like the most horrible thing that anyone could ever say. And in the case of the Palestinians, they say from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Starting point is 00:57:42 They're like, how dare you, you anti-Semites wanting freedom? Don't you know your dogs of ours? You're not allowed to have freedom. That is a genocidal comment. Nanyahu says that American media goes, no, no, shh, shh, shh, sh. Everybody cover it up, cover it up. Dania who says the campaign is not over. How much, are they reporting it on cable news?
Starting point is 00:58:00 Are they reporting it on cable news? None, zero, right? And then now on this. So. One more thing, Jank, real quick. Okay. So Wynet News, which is an Israeli publication, reported the following. I'm gonna read from them verbatim.
Starting point is 00:58:14 The IDF has begun constructing new defensive positions closer to the border, pulling back from areas deeper in Gaza as part of the ceasefire and initial hostage release agreement. These positions are expected to become semi-permanent outposts similar to previous forward bases built along the buffer zone near the border fence. If you want to know what Israel really intends on doing, do not consume American media on this topic. Head on over to Israeli press because they'll tell you the truth. They say it out loud.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Yeah, no, I'll give credit. We give credit where creditors do. The Israeli press has been terrific in a lot of instances. a thousand times better than American press. Because Israeli press doesn't have to worry about being called anti-Semites. So they can just report things, right? So a lot of them are right wing propagandists for Netanyahu, et cetera. But there's a lot of really good journalists in Israel.
Starting point is 00:59:07 And by the way, we have to get all of our news from the Israeli press, like Smotrich talking about how yeah, we're not leaving. No, no, no, no, we're gonna continue the genocide, right? Now, did you see that in cable news? Of course you won't see it on American mainstream media, because American mainstream media is completely controlled by the Israeli government. And so if they're not, why don't you? you report the obvious things we're reporting.
Starting point is 00:59:25 We're not making, you could double check our quotes, quadruple check the quotes. Make sure you're getting the quotes exactly right, okay? But you won't. No one on television will talk about any of the things that we mentioned here because they work for the Israeli government. And why do they mainly work for the Israeli government? Because everybody knows that if you're in mainstream media,
Starting point is 00:59:45 and you say anything critical of Israel, even if it's 200% verified, you'll be called an anti-Semite, your life will be ruined, Your career will end and they'll smear you to no end. They all know it, they're all scared to death of criticizing Israel. And so they're, they're terrible, they're not remotely journalists. And so they do work as a marketing department, whereas the Israeli press actually gets us news from time to time.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Well, when we come back from the break, I gotta ask it one more time. Is Marjorie Taylor Green mommy? Just ask yourself, we'll be right back. I'm gonna be Buhn't know Bhopin'n't B'n't know Thank you.
