You're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. All right, welcome to the Young Turks, Jane Cougar, Anna Kasparam with you guys, live from the Polymarket Studio today, giant day, debate night. So look, you never know with, especially with Donald Trump, they're supposed to have more debates, but they might not, by the way, you also don't know with Kamala Harris, because her and Tim Walls are mysteriously, weirdly, completely wrongly, hiding from the media,

which is a terrible, terrible strategy. So if this is the only debate, it could be monumental, even if it's one of the debates, monumental. So we're going to tell you about what's going on with the campaign. Oh, crazy Republican conspiracy theories again. They're so frustrating, but real issues with immigration that will touch on, et cetera. So, but I want you guys to know all day long, tyt.com slash debate. We will embed the debate there. So come watch with us and I'll be talking to the, to the members and the audience on tyt.com

while we do the debate. So you don't have to go anywhere else. Both us and the debate are embedded at tyot.com slash debate. And obviously right afterwards, we're going to review. One of the very, very few honest analysis you'll find anywhere in media, because most of the The people who are in favor of Kamala Harris are going to tell you Kamala Harris won. Well, everyone who's in favor of Donald Trump is going to tell you the Donald Trump one, no matter what actually happens.

We're gonna tell you what actually happened. Okay, so, and if you can, by the way, guys, please, I know that it's been a long year, and we're trying to get to these goals and they're very hard, but you have to trust me that they're real and important. So today we're trying to raise 10,000 to make this event possible. Obviously, in retrospect, we're gonna do it either way, but we appreciate it if you can help. help at t.t.com slash debate. We appreciate you guys. All right, Anna, let's get to the first story. All right, let's do it. With regard to the tragic killing of Isaner, I think what we saw this investigation is it seems to show what eyewitnesses have said and made clear that her killing

was both unprovoked and unjustified. No one. No one should be shot and killed for attending a protest. In our judgment, Israeli security forces need to make some fundamental changes in the way that they operate in the West Bank, including changes to their rules of engagement. Well, they won't, and there will be no consequences for refusing to do so. But what you just heard was Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, promising to send a strongly worded letter to the Israeli government over the killing of an American. Turkish activist who was killed by IDF forces in the West Bank just last week.

It is indeed a tragic story. She was with a group known as International Solidarity Movement, and she is now the third individual with this group that has been killed by IDF soldiers. In fact, there was another American activist who was killed by the IDF as she was part of this group back in 2003. Now, the 26 year old that we're talking about right now, Isonore Aigy, was demonstrating against Israeli settlers in a town near Nablus when she was shot in the head. Now, the American government is sort of, sort of speaking out now that Israel has taken

responsibility for the killing, although they claim that it was an accident, that a sniper accidentally shot her in the head. We'll get to that in just a moment. But today the IDF wrote in a statement, the inquiry found that it is highly likely that IGE was hit indirectly and unintentionally by IDF fire, which was not aimed at her, but aimed at the key instigator of the riot. The incident took place during a violent riot in which dozens of Palestinian suspects burned tires and hurled rocks toward security forces at the BIDA junction. The IDF expresses its deepest regret over the death of Isanur Aigy. It has no regret whatsoever. Yeah, well, I mean, Blinken was asked about this, and I do want to give you a little more

from his press conference in London, and then I want to hear what you think, Jank. Let's watch. We've long seen reports of the security forces looking the other way when extremist settlers use violence against Palestinians. We've seen reports of excessive force by Israeli security forces against Palestinians. And now we have the second American citizen killed at the hands of Israeli security forces. It's not acceptable. It has to change.

And we'll be making that clear to the senior most members of the Israeli government. Now, we're looking carefully at the results. results of this investigation, but even on an initial read and even accepting it at face value. It's clear that there are serious issues that need to be dealt with. Well, Aegee's family heard that statement and they were not pleased with it. They do not feel that the U.S. government is doing enough and they want a full independent investigation into this. By the way, the Biden administration has released a new statement on it, as reported by Barack

Ravid over at Axios, and he says that Biden says, the death of U.S. citizen Isanor Igi in the West Bank from IDF fire apparently was an accident and a result of a bullet that hit the ground and ricocheted. No, the total lie. Biden is 100% lying. God. All right. So first, let's break down the facts, guys. So as Anna alluded to her earlier, it was a sniper. But get a load of this. The protests had already ended, and again, this is Israeli protesters who had joined the protests, good guys, who were recounting this, because I know a Muslim Palestinian would never be believed, but there were actually Israelis on the ground who said, no, no, the IDF is definitely lying, and here's what actually happened. So protest is already over half an hour

ago. They retreat hundreds of yards away. That's why it's a sniper. And the sniper then hits the American in the head. And then the IDF first says, oh, we meant it, as you saw, we meant to hit the instigator. First of all, that would be an extrajudicial killing. The protest is over. There are no stones being thrown. It's been over for a long time. And so IDF is there saying, oh, we meant to murder someone.

We meant to execute someone in a way that is completely illegal under international law. And by the way, apparently is it illegal under? Israeli law? I'm not sure, because apparently if it's Palestinian or Muslim or Christian Arab, that's it. You can, Israel, are you allowed to murder people who aren't Israeli or American? It seems like the overwhelming answer is yes. And by the way, so if you're not in Israeli or, and even if you're in America now, it's open seasons. That's the second time in the last couple of years, Shereen Abouacli and American journalist is the other, where an Israeli sniper murdered them in cold blood, assassinated them. So apparently Americans are not safe

anymore. Well, again, even in the Israelis, remember they killed their own hostages because they were in a kill zone. So the IDF will murder anything, but we sent them a strongly worded response, which then, now the next layer that's enraging is Biden going above and beyond and coming out with an outrageous lie that the IDF isn't initially even saying. Exactly. Oh, now Biden made up that it ricocheted off Iraq. Biden is basically Israel's publicist and they're, he drives the getaway car. He's like, load up the 26 billion of American tax dollars. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

I've got to get it to my friends at Israel. They already gave me the $11 million. So I got to give them $26 billion back. That's how corruption works. So, oh, they murdered another American. Who cares? Let's pretend it ricocheted off Iraq. Let's pretend this.

Let's pretend that. Let's pretend they're doing a real investigation. And then we'll send that joker, Anthony Blinking out, to say that it's not acceptable. And they get a load of this, right afterwards, we'll accept it. So not acceptable means I'm not sending you the money anymore. That's what not acceptable is. And that's not at all even being discussed or considered. Not discussed.

Instead, more words have been sent in to the top levels of the Israeli government. we're dissatisfied. If you murder 20 or 40 more Americans, we might even send stronger words. Wow. Look, guys, this is not arguable. Even if you love Israel, I think that they should be allowed to murder anyone they like. Why do we have to pay them $26 billion to not only kill over 40,000 Palestinians, but to have their snipers execute several Americans? We're to pay them to murder American citizens. No other ally would be allowed to do this. None. Zero.

Jordan couldn't do it. Even Saudi Arabia might not be able to do it. Canada couldn't do it, but Israel, murder any Americans you like, the checks in the mail. That's a fact. That's an absolute stone cold fact. You could have opinions like, oh yeah, that's great, we should do that. No, I don't like that. We shouldn't do that.

But you can't argue that they're not murdering American citizens. They are. And you can't argue that. we're not rewarding them by sending him a preposterous gargantuan $26 billion in the middle of slaughtering Gaza, let alone the Americans. And the West Bank. going. Twizzlers, keep the fun going.

Now remember, the sniper, took the American citizen in the West Bank. That's what we're talking about here. And as we've talked about in regard to Gaza, At this point, very likely more than 40,000 people in Gaza have been killed as a result of the IDF's war against Palestinians there. And I should note in regard to the West Bank, Israeli troops and settlers have killed 692 Palestinians, including 158 children. And again, this is in the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem since October. And that's according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah.

Now look, you have Americans calling out this belligerent Israeli government for killing our fellow Americans, you have Palestinians, of course, calling out the Israeli government for killing innocent Palestinian civilians, not only in Gaza but in the West Bank, but you also have some Israelis calling out the Israeli government for getting Israelis killed. And when it comes to the hostages, I really do want to give some of the hostage family members of voice here, because the father of a hostage killed by Hamas while in captivity decided to confront Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel on this issue. This was at the Shiva for his son.

His name is El Hanan Danino, his 25 year old son, Ori, was recently murdered alongside five other hostages, and he had some strong words for Benjamin Netanyahu, let's watch. shrewo yore, and he's hushka rive and madone, Tisgore, and ask for your ten d'clock with your own, and you know

where the error the yearhood that you have been made. T'bodd, you with your and borgh, and think where the Godos borgue

of the image the Jewudy that the abe and the purrude that wash, and don't getasue with the politics little and zolot.

I'm powne from here, I'm from here, the shone on me, it's hiked on me, the bed of

my bed shrew, I need to I think of a ness to cover a gulf of shillam, he'll be a ness, to what you've seen with us, you've beening, you've made, you've slacked,

to aneathe, and to re-suff bandatim and to tassing, what, what, no. I'm at all the idea if it'ska or not hisque, but slack me,

adonie, all came in the smearat shone, the binnerah that's beenerah that you've been made you've been in your

man, that is incredible, and I can't imagine the pain that that man is feeling the, uh, the, American citizen who was just killed by an Israeli stiper, what she's feeling, and the countless Palestinians who have lost their children, their parents, what they're feeling.

And Netanyahu really doesn't like to be called out, Jank. He doesn't like anyone speaking out in regard to his self-interest, the fact that he doesn't care about how many people died just so he can stay in power. So here's what he had to say to the rabbi you just heard from. I don't tell you what it's not going to tell you what I know. You're just too, you know,

for all the world, right, and against the United and people, and will be left and to explain, it's not just Hamas, it's not just Hezbollah,

it's an ashengue that will kill here on all us. I'm going to day, day, to ask you to ask me, why you're here? Why are you here?

Why? Why? Which what? What? To know what? No. And that's what I mean? And that's true.

And that's true. 15th of time, you have to be shaked. No, I did all of shirk. Siyahed them in shawarroats. Yes, he added them in monov and dolary.

No, did dolew. And that's true, this is well-known. Benjamin Netanyahu did funnel money to Hamas, and he did so in order to discredit the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. I mean, he was open and honest about that. And I'm happy to see.

that there are Israelis who are calling him out on it. Yeah, a lot to say about Netanyahu in a second. T. Freeman's one of our YouTube members, and they wrote an IDF as a right to defend itself against troublesome Americans. So they're obviously being sarcastic, but that's where we are today now. And as for that Israeli rabbi that you just saw there, remember, family member, the last 11 months of their life was as a hostage in a tunnel with Hamas. So you blame Hamas for that, for taking them hostage in the first place, for not releasing them.

But you also blame the Israeli government that has a ceasefire deal that they proposed that Hamas accepted on July 2nd, that they then reneged on. So those hostages would definitely be alive if Nanjahu hadn't done that for his political career. And did you hear what Nanjahou said? I was alone in having to deal with the American president. Can you imagine? Oh, I'm sorry. Were we bothering you when we were sending you 26 billion ones, 4 billion another time? So overall $30 billion.

But, and we never stopped you from murdering over 40,000 Palestinians, over 25,000 innocent women and children. We didn't, now we're not stopping you from murdering American citizens. We're not taking one dollar away from you, but you had to deal with an American president. How annoying. Does, does Biden like to be dog walked? Yes, definitely, definitely. Like we dogwalk made to be a little bitch for a foreign leader? Let's keep it real, that's what it is.

Of course, he's pathetic. He's walking around like just a pathetic servant of Israel. That ricocheting off the rock nonsense. Jesus Christ, man. All right, look, no one, you can, all the people in Washington who are like these diehard Democrats who are going to tell me about, no, Joe Biden was so great. He's accomplished so much and he's FDR 2.0. Save it. Save it. He's a terrible person. Oh, he has so much empathy. That's right, for the donors.

If there's a giant donor in the room, he has all overflowing empathy for them. How can I lie on your behalf? How can I pleasure you? How can I do this with that? He was a terrible president, totally immoral, doesn't care about any human being that isn't a donor. I'm not interested in Biden, okay? But Biden luckily now is a morose old fool who's deeply senile and he relevant. So now, will Kamala Harris change the position? No, she will go speak to Netanyahu. I'd just speak to the American president for five minutes, and then I shooed them away.

Look at all the things I've had to put up with. And then look at the outrageous lie, and they're gonna nuke us. Who, who's gonna nuke you? You just shot someone because they were sitting next to a person who earlier had thrown a stone, a stone at Israeli troops that were so far away, heavily armored, and, and Now all of a sudden it's nukes. No, you're the one with the nukes. And by the way, comically is still lying that they don't have nukes.

Okay, so like it's just, guys, at this point, like some good natured people, good folks ask me, hey, do you want to come to Israel, et cetera? I'm like, are you nuts? I'm a Turkish American. How many Turkish Americans, I mean, have to be killed by Israel? There's ones in the past, too, on the Marmara boat, et cetera. How many Muslims have to get killed? How many Americans have to get killed?

how many reporters have to get killed. No, if Israel, if I, look, let's put it this way. If I went to Israel and Israel executed me, American government would do nothing. They wouldn't take a single dollar away. They would just go, oh, that is not acceptable, but we have immediately accepted it. So I'm not going to get murdered by Israel in a total outlaw pariah country that is doing one of the worst genocides of our lifetime funded by us.

No, no thank you. And you have to check your, look, guys, at this point, Israel's above the law. The reason I won't go to the Gulf countries is because they're run by fundamentalists who are dictators. They're out of, so you cannot hold them accountable. The Saudi prince chopped up a U.S. journalist and had zero accountability. No consequences. As long as you're greasing are dirty, dirty politicians, you can murder Americans, you can murder You're journalists all you like.

So I'm not going to the Gulf countries, I'm not going to Israel, and you'd have to have your head examined to go do business with them, to do anything with them, because you can literally be murdered in Saudi Arabia or in Israel, and there'll be no consequences that American government does not care about American citizens. The only thing they care about is lobbyist checks. The minute the checks clear, they'll let them kill you and totally get away with it. And by the way, you can see who's right and wrong. He says it's not acceptable.

I say the real translation is it's perfectly acceptable. Now see with your own eyes going forward, will they take away any money or have any real consequences for Israel or won't it? And you will see there will be no consequences. It was in fact perfectly acceptable to murder, execute Americans and get away with it as long as you're Israel. When we come back, we'll switch gears. Now that that story about Haitian migrants eating pets has been fully debunked, Jady Vance

has decided to encourage others to double down on that lie. We've got that more coming up, don't miss it. All right, back on TYT, Jank, Anna, and Steve K with you guys. Steve, thanks for joining, appreciate it. I'm gonna read one super chat here. Lord Blais said, Kamala needs to pivot her position on Israel. This would be a perfect excuse to set us up to win in November, let's go. I love you, but don't, don't get hopeful about Kamala Harris actually doing anything positive.

Okay, I look, just fight, live to fight another day, but Kamala Harris has a 0% chance of changing her position on Israel. She will do exactly as her donors tell her to do, exactly. And look guys, hold me accountable. If I'm wrong, say, oh my gosh, she changed her position, Jake, I can't believe it. She's such a wonderful person, you were wrong about her, okay? I would love for that to happen. But you will see that I am right, and she will not change one inch.

She will send every dollar to Israel. All right, Anna. All right, let's talk about the rumors surrounding migrants. in Colorado, no not Colorado, Springfield, Ohio. So now that the insane rumors about Haitian migrants allegedly eating people's pets in Springfield, Ohio has been fully debunked, wanna be hillbilly and Ivy League sociopath, J.D. Vance is encouraging his supporters to continue meming about the big lie and he wants them to double down on it. Now before we get to the latest, here's what Vance and the Trump campaign were spreading before the story was

fully debunked. So on X, J.D. Vance had posted reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country. Where is our borders are? And then the Trump Vance campaign sent out a fundraising email saying migrants have reportedly been caught decapitating ducks and hunting geese and other livestock in public parks and even kidnapping residents' pets, then eating them. Again, this has been fully debunked. The claims led both the Springfield Police Division and the city of Springfield to release statements saying that they have received absolutely no reports that any of this has actually happened. Now, after it was debunked, J.D. Vance seemed to admit or concede that, yeah, maybe these claims

are unfounded. On X, he posted, it's possible, of course, that all these rumors will turn out to be false. No, no, no, not will turn out to be false. These are absolutely false claims, absolutely false and it makes everyone reject anything people like J.D. Vance might say that might be legitimate about migrants or immigration when he's spreading garbage like this. Go ahead, James. So guys, we're going to talk in a second about the real issues with immigration and the crime that is real. There are no issues. Okay, yeah, the leftists will say there's no issues at all. Everybody that came over the border is an angel. The right wing says everybody that came over the border is going to kidnap and eat your cat.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right of me. We're all stuck in the middle together, okay? So we're going to tell you the reality in a second. But what is clear is J.D. Vance, even in that tweet, says, well, it might be true or it might be false. What a Republican says that. That means, oh, we're stone cold busted.

It is definitely false to the point where I have to admit it might be false. So totally made it up. And he still says, I just keep going anyway. Because you know what, our lies are working pretty well, so let's scare the hell out of people with our demagoguery and lies. Oh, later, they won't believe us when there's an actual problem with immigration, but who cares? Who cares? We're not trying to solve the problem. We're trying to demagogue and we're trying to get you to hate all immigrants.

And that's the other part of his tweet that is loesson. So the rest of this thread that he posted said the following. Do you know what's confirmed that a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who, who, had no right to be there or here, that local health services have been overwhelmed, that communicable diseases like TB and HIV have been on the rise, that local schools have struggled to keep up with newcomers who don't know English, that rents have risen so fast that many Springfield families can't afford to put a roof over their head. Well, to be fair, the cost of housing has risen sharply all over the country. And it's cute when you can

tie it to your, you know, pet issue of the day. But Americans have been struggling with housing for many, many, many, many years. No pun intended with the pet issue. Anyway, go ahead, Jank. Yeah. So you see, you catch what he did there? They're spreading diseases. Classic fascist propaganda. The immigrants are the others. They look different. They have different culture. And then they come in and eat our pets. And then they're spreading diseases everywhere. Like, That's just demagoguery 101. Now, does he have to do it? No, he doesn't have to do it.

He could actually tell you the real issues. Like there are actual Venezuelan gangs, MS-13, et cetera, that we're going to tell you about that have entrenched themselves in some communities. By the way, why don't they focus on that? Why are they going to a random murder of someone who happened to be Haitian, to someone who wasn't Haitian, when in fact, there's tons of murders, unfortunately, that undocumented and immigrants have done that they don't talk about. It's because most of those murders are in the immigrant community.

And so that doesn't help J.D. Vance and Donald Trump demagogue. What they have to do is they have to make that all immigrants seem dirty and wrong and diseased and savages, right? So that's why they'll take a random crime and be like, look at this white woman who was murdered. Oh my God, they're all coming to get us. If they showed you the real crime, it's actually tons of other immigrants who are being killed. And they would be giving a compelling case for us to do something about the actual problem.

But they don't want to fix the actual problem. They just want a demagogue. And the latest version of that is, yeah, I was lying about eating the pets. Who cares? Now I'm going to go in lie and smear them as all immigrants are diseased. You disgust me, J.D. Vance. So I don't know if this is going to come up in the presidential debate today. because a lot of this does feel strategized and kind of orchestrated by the Republican Party

and in the lead up to this debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. So they did have a hearing today with victims of, you know, migrant crime. And it included a lot of, you know, migrants themselves who had been victimized by it. It also included a woman who heads an organization that provides support to victims of migrant crime. So you heard a lot of testimony today that Democrats had a difficult time kind of wiggling out of, but we'll see if that ends up being brought up during the debate today. The one thing that I will bring up is I wanted to know what he meant when he referred to a child that was murdered by a Haitian migrant.

I mean, like be specific. And the New York Times and CNN believe that it has to do with a specific case. Vance appeared to be referring to an incident last year in which an 11 year old child was killed in a bus crash in Springfield involving a Haitian immigrant driver who had a foreign license that was not valid in Ohio. The driver involved though has been convicted of first degree felony involuntary manslaughter and fourth degree felony vehicular homicide. Also by the way random Americans did that same exact crime dozens of times in Ohio in the same time period. But no, we're going to focus on just the one Haitian immigrant who did the same

thing. You want to bring up all of you guys that did the DOI? You know who's from Ohio? Did DUI? Ethan Couch. Remember that guy who said he had affluenza? He was too rich to know the consequence of his actions. I think four people died if I'm remembering that right in that case. Did they make a giant big deal out of that? Nope, don't care because it's not about the victims. It's not about protecting you. It's about hating other people. So finally, his tweet says, his final tweet in this thread says, in short, don't let the cry babies in the media dissuade you, fellow patriots, keep the cat memes flowing. So just keep lying. Okay, well, JD, if that's the case, can we go back to the lie that was spread about you about the couch and how you like to have sex with it? And you like to do weird, perverted things with couches, inanimate objects, you freaking psycho?

I have a feeling that that might have like played into his decision to encourage people to keep spreading the lie. No, he's always a liar. He's lied about every single thing in his life. Like for example, he brings up the rent. Oh, the Haitians are driving up the rent. Oh, it's not your venture capital buddies? Because private equity, venture capital and Wall Street is buying up all the homes and driving up prices. That is an enormously bigger factor than immigrants. Immigrants are a factor, but the Wall Street communities are much larger. factor. Oh, right, but JD Vance, you were a venture capitalist and you were part of that scam. So you don't want to talk about that.

Okay, and when they ask you're running me, Donald Trump, what do you think about housing prices? A Trump fan. Say, hey, rent's too high. I'm worried about my kids. He said, drill baby drill. The oil companies are giving me bribes. So what is drilling an oil and the bribes you're getting have to do with rent?

Nothing doesn't matter. All you want to do is serve as donors. So this whole Republican Party is a dumpster fire filled with crooks, con men and frauds who don't care about any of the issues that they claim to care about. What they care about is, oh, we got to found a bunch of guys here who'll believe anything because they hate the establishment. So let's feed them a bunch of hateful rhetoric so that they'll just hate their fellow citizens so much that they'll vote for us con men who are actually billionaires and venture capitalists

who are the ones screwing them in the first place. I want to say one thing, for the folks who care about the truth, so are there gangs that have come into the country and are terrorizing local communities that are from other places? Yes, definitely yes. And so the reason why the authorities and neither political party focuses much about them is because they mainly target other immigrants and migrant communities. So MS-13 has been in East LA for a long, long time, but nobody gives a damn, right? The Venezuelas are not only in Aurora, Colorado, but they have Venezuelan gangs in a lot of places

where other Venezuelan immigrants have gone, and they terrorize Venezuelan immigrants, and now more and more Americans. But the Democrats say there is no problem, and the Republicans say they're eating cats. So we never actually get to, hey, what are we going to do about that? How are we going to protect these people? How we're going to protect our citizens. And once gangs get entrenched, it is very, very hard to root them out. And right now we've had this laissez-faire attitude because of the two sides that don't actually want to solve it.

That leads us to never actually solving this damn issue. So I'm disgusted by all these politicians. None of them actually care. They only use it for their own careers. And the rest of us have to somehow get to a point where we could fix the real problem. that we have in this country without hating on each other. experience. Now, the silence around it feels heavy. I can't help but wonder, why didn't law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech? There is definitely

more to this story, and we need to uncover the truth. Okay, all right, I just look, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was serious, but that cut away to a weird blank book with no, that's her book. No, I know, I know she came out with a book, but it's a weird, like the whole thing is weird. It's weird to promote your book while you're talking about the assassination attempt on your husband. It's weird, right? 100%. A bunch of weirdos, wackos, loons.

So you're going to sell a book by pretending there's a deep state conspiracy against your husband. That's a super serious charge. You don't just throw that around. Oh, I think the U.S. government might be trying to murder a former president. That's not a little charge. That's a gigantic charge. And remember, guys, for us that live in the rational world, we know Melania's a dumbass, and she's greedy and married Trump for money and hates him, bats him away at every opportunity in public,

won't be seen in public with him, despises her own husband, is just thinking, how do I make more money off of this? Oh my gosh, that's such a good point. I mean, I mean, we haven't seen her at all. She wants nothing to do with his campaigning. She's made that very clear. And she like came out of nowhere to release. I mean, look, after the assassination attempt, she did release a statement.

It was actually a really good. Hold on. Let me finish my point. She released a statement. It was a good statement. I actually commended her for that statement because I thought it was classy. It was well done and it focused on unity. I'll read it to you in just a second.

But now, then she went into hiding again. And now she's back out. She's like, oh wait, I have a book that I'm trying to sell. So let me push a conspiracy theory, say something provocative about the assassination attempt on my husband, and then do a transition to an image of the book that I'm trying to sell. How do people not see how insane that is? That is crazy. And look, there's so many sad things in there because the people who put that together for her probably told her, remember, our viewers and the people who would buy your book are really ignorant. They'll believe anything.

So just we'll do like some music in the background. And then you imply that he was, that the deep state was trying to murder him and the Democrats were trying to murder him. That'll rile up millions of people and some of them might even do violence and actually hurt people. But who cares? We're trying to move books here, right? Oh, do you actually care about your husband? No, nobody cares, right? So let's just do this total lie, ridiculous conspiracy theory because we might make an extra couple of bucks.

And Malayan is like, well, that's why I got into this in the first place. So yeah, where do I sign up? So she's a kook. And so I don't want to hear anybody, look, guys, we've been around 22 years. So you can go back and see the receipts. I defended Laura Bush. You know why? Because she didn't do anything wrong.

She didn't do, she wasn't political. People were talking about some accident she got into and calling her a murder. I was like, no, no, no. It was an accident. She's never got into politics. She doesn't do anything with her husband or Dick Cheney or anything. I hate George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, Laura Bush has nothing to do with it. But Melania, every time she gets into any political issue, what was that jacket about?

I don't really care when going to see kids where she was pretending to care. That's basically rubbing your face in it. I don't care about any of you lower class people. I'm married for money and fame, and that's what I want. And now she comes out, riles up millions of people into believing nonsense because she thinks she can make an extra buck out of it. Who that's who she is, she's a person of no moral character at all. So I'm not interested in any defense of Melania Trump. And I know how, like, hey, and by the way, the Trump fans, you're not dating her.

Because I've had interactions with them where they get so emotional, like, oh, beloved Queen Melania. Okay, yeah, she's not going out with you, get over it, okay? She's not even going out with Donald Trump. I don't think most people think about her at all, to be honest with you. But I mean, again, I mean, she's showing who she really is here. I can't imagine exploiting something horrible that happened to my husband in order to spread a conspiracy theory and promote my book. But here's what she said after the assassination attempt, which I thought was a good statement.

She said, America, the fabric of our gentle nation is tattered, but our courage and common sense must ascend and bring us back together as one. I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband. And let us remember that when the time comes to look beyond the left and the left and the And the right, beyond the red and the blue, we all come from families with a passion or with the passion to fight for a better life together while we are here in this earthly realm. She did not write that. But she put it out. And I give her credit for putting it out. The earthly realm and the fabric of our gentle nation is tattered. She doesn't speak like that at all. Doesn't even know half those words. That's okay. She put out a good statement and I appreciate it. But now she's totally washed that away. As before, she's like brave secret service agents, now she's like, the cops and the secret service.

Why didn't they stop them, huh? I wonder what they were up to. Give me books, give me book sales, give me money, give me money. There's a word for that. And look, Melania isn't the only one on the right or even in the Trump family that has implied that there's something far more nefarious at play. Here's another example. The week since the assassination attempt, there's been a disturbing pattern from the Trump campaign that you probably haven't heard about. Couldn't beat him politically, so they tried to bankrupt him. They failed at that,

so they tried to impeach him. They failed at that, so they tried to put him in prison. They even tried to kill him. He and his allies have been spreading the lie that Democrats are to blame for the shooting. And they tried to kill him. They tried to kill him. Conspiracy theories have been running wild, both on the left and the right. But on the right, this isn't just about obscure trolls online. This is coming from the vice presidential nominee, members of Congress and Trump's sons who are media regulars. They're trying to jail their political opponents. They're now trying to kill him. I said that the Democrats would stop at absolutely nothing. And I've said on this show before, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried something even worse, alluding to exactly what happened.

They've done everything possible to try and get him and kill him. Vance has also falsely claimed that Democratic warnings about Trump being a threat to democracy led directly. to the shooting. And Trump, who has shared a conspiracy theory online targeting the FBI, has also made that claim. Remember the words they use? They are a threat. I think I got shot because of that. Now, what are the facts? The investigations into the shooter, Thomas Crooks, has failed to find a motive for the shooting. But they did find that he was also searching for Joe Biden, the DNC, along with the RNC. Crooks was a registered Republican voter.

He also, again, conducted 60 and more searches related to Biden, Trump, the RNC, and the DNC. And according to FBI, Pittsburgh field office special agent in charge Kevin Rojeck, he looked at any number of events or targets when the Trump rally was announced early in July, he became hyper-focused on that specific event and looked. at it as a target of opportunity. But people are going to believe the conspiracy theories. I'm glad that they mention that there are some conspiracy theories on the left as well. You know, you'll oftentimes hear it with Joy Reid on MSNBC, but there are also conspiracy theories on the right, as you're hearing about right now. So take a look at this poll conducted

by UGov back in July, and it shows that one third of Americans actually agree that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was part of a broader plot or conspiracy. So again, this is why the Republicans are unacceptable. They are serial liars. They do it on purpose. And what they do is they drive hatred in the country. Oh, the other side's trying to kill us. You better do something.

The other side's trying to murder us. You better do something. And then when their guys do do something, like their deranged fan went in and hit Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer, then they laugh about it and go, I bet he was his gay lover. And then they send that in lunatic conspiracy theory out. And guys, if you keep believing lunatic conspiracy theories and you keep spreading hatred and lies, don't be surprised that Americans are not rushing over to come be on your side. Like if they just stuck with like normal Republican issues like crime and immigration,

in the reality they would win in a landslide at this particular juncture in American politics. If they went for change, my God, if they did one stupid thing that they promised. Like if they did one thing for the average American, instead of corporate tax cuts, corporate tax cuts, okay, they would win so easily. But they can't help themselves. So they're going to spread these lies on purpose, try to get all of us to hate each other,

and they attack one another, and then take advantage of that. They disgust me. All right. And final thing I'll get into is the interview that Olivia Nuzzi did with Trump, because he was specifically asked if you wondered why he was spared that day rather than the firefighter who was tragically shot and killed. And here's what Trump had to say about it. No, I haven't wondered why. I should wonder why.

I've been so, I've been working very hard on the campaign and I also run a business during the time that I'm here. I've never asked myself that. I never thought of it. I don't like thinking about it too much because it's almost like you have to get on with your life, so I don't really like thinking about that too much. But he also bragged about giving his widow, the victim's widow, a million dollars in the context of that same interview. He tells Nuzzi, quote, I already gave the wife a million dollars and she was great. I mean, look, she couldn't believe it, but she would rather have her husband. The check, he said for the second time now was for a million dollars. I don't care how successful. It's a check for a million dollars, he said. And I gave it to

her. She was, she couldn't believe it. So there's nothing wrong with the first part of the statement where he says he doesn't like the thing about the shooting. If you got shot out, you wouldn't like to think about it either. Right. And so I have sympathy for him getting shot at completely. And as you might have seen, I thought he acted bravely on that day. But now you're going to go brag about how you gave the wife a million dollars. So you don't even remember her name. I gave the wife a million dollars. I know, you're such a great guy. By the way, if it was true that you have $10 billion, like, wow,

like a million dollars to you would be like a nickel. Of course, you don't have that kind of money. Anyways, look, guys, the thing is, if Trump had just left well enough alone without going to conspiracy theories and all of his guys and all of his goons, et cetera, he would and should have sympathy for getting shot at. That was a hell of a thing, right? And then he came out and put his hand up and, you know, and said fight, fight, fight. It was an amazing moment for him.

But here they are just flushing it down the drain with their usual tactics of lies, bragging about weirdo things, and of course, conspiracy theories. All right, when we come back from the break, CNN looked into Kamala Harris's positions back in 2019 when she was running in the Democratic primary for president. and she has changed quite a bit in a few short years. So we've got that and more coming up. Don't miss it. All right.

Melody loves music. Not only did she join, she gifted five memberships. Thank you, Melody. Jankees, which is a funny handle, and Lady Fookin-Tee. You guys are awesome. We appreciate you. Anna. All right, let's get to our next story.

And in this questionnaire, Harris laid out some much more liberal stances. She said she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants. She also said-taxpayer-funded gender-transition surgeries for detained migrants. She actually said she supported that. He wrote, both wrote, and answered in the affirmative. It would be hard to think that you would come up with taxpayer funding, gender transitions for detain migrants. On the eve of the first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, CNN reviewed Kamala Harris's policy passed. And what she claimed she was supportive of in a 2019 ACLU questionnaire.

This is a questionnaire that they gave to the debt. Democratic candidates in the primary, she submitted it, and the findings are interesting. Now, during the 2020 presidential campaign, remember that there was an effort to compete with one another in the Democratic Party on who could be more progressive, right? At that time, progressivism was a more popular brand in the Democratic Party, thanks to Bernie Sanders. And Bernie Sanders did really, really well in that primary. Up until the moment, the other candidates decided to drop out and consolidate support behind Joe Biden.

And so the competition for who's more progressive led to Kamala Harris, alleging that she was in favor of some pretty far left social policies. You're about to hear about them in this next clip. And in this questionnaire, Harris laid out some much more liberal stances among them on immigration. So in 2019, in what K-File found, she said she would cut funding to ICE, writing, quote, our immigrant detention system is out of control. And I believe we must end the unfair incarceration of thousands of individuals, families, and children. I was one of the first senators after President Trump was elected to advocate for a decrease in funding to

ice. Well, now, of course, she's touting the Biden administration's executive order to crack down on the border. And in fact, during her DNC speech, she clearly stated, that she wants to pass and sign the bipartisan immigration bill that was negotiated in the Senate, but was squashed because Donald Trump wanted Republicans to kill the bill, so he could have the immigration issue to run on. Now, since then, Biden has issued an executive order, but executive orders pertaining to the border tend to be a little vulnerable because you have certain organizations like the ACLU who are threatening to sue in order to reverse.

that executive order. Legislation tends to be a lot more holistic, comprehensive, and more difficult to reverse, Jank. Yep. So why was Bernie so popular in 2016 and in 2020? Because he ran on economic populism. You guys remember income inequality? He would not stop talking about it. And he would tell you the rich have too much. We need to tax corporations more. The rich more. We need to get you guys Medicare for all. Universal health care, paid family leave, minimum wage. Those were his breached. and butter issues and he would talk about them nonstop, it made him enormously popular. Then progressives attached a whole bunch of other social issues to that, some of which

were wonderful and just and some of which were just identity politics. And so it actually made Bernie a little bit less popular in 2020. But at the time, the Kamala Harris of the world are trying to adjust Cory Booker and a lot of the other normal establishment Democrats and trying to figure out why is Bernie so popular. Let's copy him. They don't really mean it, but let's, so were they going to copy his economic policies? Well, that's tougher because then donors are going to get mad at you, right? Well, but the identity politics, that's easy, right?

So let's copy what he's doing there. And remember, and I don't know if you do, but Kamalaire's Cory Booker and several other senators that were totally establishment Democrats came out and said, we're not taking corporate pack money anymore. And I thought it was a great development, amazing. And the reporter started coming in, no, they're still taking it. They're just going through another door to take the money, right? And then later they just dropped that entirely because they were just pretending.

So when they were pretending, they agreed to this proposal, apparently, right? Not apparently, she did. She said that we should pay for. Well, let's watch the next clip. Because that wasn't all she wanted to do with immigration. Here's a more, you know, comprehensive rundown of things that she claimed to be supportive of back in 2019. She said on immigration, she made this open-ended pledge to end immigrant detention. She said she supported taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants.

She also said she supported-taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants. She actually said she supported that. She wrote, both wrote, and answered in the affirmative when she was asked this. And she said she also supported it for federal prisoners. Now she also pledged to slash immigration detention by 50% close all family and private facilities and decrease funding for ICE. And then the end end ice detainers with local law enforcement. I mean, these are these are things that, you know, it would be hard to think that you would come up with taxpayer funding, gender transitions for for detained migrants. And yet this, as you say, written and and verbally.

So I just want to remind everyone of what Bernie Sanders' stance on immigration and the border was when he was running in the Democratic primary for 2016. Now, this is during an interview with Vox in 2015, and you'll notice that what he does is he centers the best interests of the American people as a whole. Let's watch. Open borders. That's a Koch brothers proposal. Really? Of course. I mean, that's a right-wing proposal, which says essentially there is no United States. But it would anybody- It would make a lot of global poor richer, wouldn't it? And it'd make everybody in America poorer. Then you're doing away with the concept of a nation-state.

And I don't think there's any country on the world which believes in that. I think we have to raise wages in this country. I think we have to do everything that we can to create the millions of jobs. You think we should open the borders and bring in a lot of low-wage workers? What do you think maybe we should try to get jobs for those kids? So I think from a moral responsibility, we've got to do work with the rest of the industrialized world to address the problems of international poverty. But you don't do that by making people in this country even poorer. You know, a lot of people have been wondering where my politics are. And if you're curious, I'll just tell you right now.

Just take a look at Bernie Sanders, circa 2015, and that's where my politics are. Jank. So you're turning to the right. People will say it with a straight face. They'll even say it about me. I mean, if you just watch this one episode of the Young Turks alone, you know how insane that claim is. All right, so look, guys, now let's get into nuance.

I know, leftists. I'm so sorry. I know. Everything is zero or a hundred. Right wing, obviously, zero or a hundred, right? But for the rest of us, let's have a real conversation. So if you watch the Young Turks, you'll have seen me in the past episodes, say, I disagreed with AOC on Abolish ICE, even when she was running for office.

But from a political point of view, I said earlier, that she was right because she used that really well in a debate against Crowley and throughout that campaign, it helped her win. So strategically, I said, I was wrong and she was right about that policy. But who was right about the policy? Well, I thought Abolish ICE was a bad idea because it makes it seem like you're getting rid of all enforcement of our immigration laws. And it turns out in some ways they were halfway doing that. Or that was a proposal. Well, I don't agree with that. I think it's bad politics in the long run. And I think it's terrible policy. Guys, that you can't have, I mean, this

goes again to a tiny percentage of leftists who think they should literally be no laws. It should just be open borders, right? We're going to have three billion people in the country if we have that. That doesn't help anyone. It wouldn't help the billions of people that come if you have absolutely no laws and allow for nonstop immigration. No country on earth does that. We don't do that and we shouldn't do that. What we should have is a humane immigration policy that allows immigrants to come in in an organized way. We should have a lot more legal immigrants coming in, but we have to have sane laws about how to stop undocumented immigrants from coming in or taking root, especially ones that were concerned commit crime, which is the tiny minority, but an important

minority because they're doing a lot of crime when they get here, mostly on immigrant communities, which is bad enough, period, let alone also in non-immigrant communities. So what we're asking for is reasonable policies and that protect the American people and the immigrants. Apparently, in the binary world we live in, that's too much to ask for. Now, back to the thing that she proposed back in 2019, so she takes 2015 Bernie Sanders and perverts it all the way to American taxpayers paying for transgender reassignment surgery for detained migrants. Guys, if you think that's a popular policy position, you're in La La Land.

I mean, you're on a different planet. That would pull at about 2%. And it should. Why do we have to pay for gender reassignment surgeries of detained migrants? Like, I don't mind if they get that surgery. They're adults. they can do anything they like. I don't mind if they get it in their home country.

If they've gone through a legal process here and they're now U.S. citizens, they can get it here. I support their right to get it completely. But I don't know why I'm paying for it, especially when they're detained migrant that aren't even a U.S. citizen. Do we all that have to pay for the gender reassignment surgeries of everyone on planet Earth? Or the ones that just came here without documentation and without the right process? And if you say no, Jake, you're a terrible person, we should pay for the gender reassignment of everyone. Okay, okay, well, that's your position. Good luck with it, because almost no one in America agrees with you. When you're an American taxpayer who very likely has found yourself dealing with

medical bills that are incredibly expensive or the need for pharmaceutical drugs to stay alive that you can't afford, the idea that your government is now funding surgeries, gender reassignment surgeries for migrants who are detained at the border, it's not going to be a politically popular issue. Like, you have to be willing to accept that and realize that. And in fact, Kamala Harris has realized that, which is why she's not proposing these types of policies today. And in fact, obviously, there's no polling on that very specific policy issue. But there was this big poll that came out last year. It led to a lot of controversy because it looked into how Americans are feeling in regard to issues involving transgender people in America. And it shows that the

country's actually gotten a little more conservative on these issues, right? So the Pew Research Center, for instance, found 60% in 2022 saying one's gender is determined by the sex assigned at birth, and that's actually up from 54% in 2017, even among young adults who are the most accepting of trans identity, about half said in the Washington Post Kaiser Family Foundation poll that a person's gender is determined by their sex at birth. And while some at the Washington Post, the same Washington Post Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that 6 and 10 were in favor of providing therapy or counseling for transgender youth, the poll found a significant opposition to gender affirming medical care for children and teens. Nearly seven and 10 adults said that

they oppose allowing children ages 10 to 14 access to medication that stops the body from going through puberty and nearly six in 10 oppose giving 15 to 17 year olds access to hormone treatments. I'm giving you this information not to say anything other than Politicians will be swayed based on public opinion because they want to win elections. Yeah. So I don't agree, for example, with the first poll that we showed you guys about gender is determined by sex at birth. No, the human mind is way more complicated than that. Oh, you have this body part. Then you must be that thing. I mean, that's such a simplistic way of thinking about it. But the majority of the country, unfortunately, now doesn't agree with me anymore. And part of the reason is because some on the left took such extreme positions that it drove more people into their arms.

We actually had a majority of the people in this country who wanted transgender people to have the same exact rights as anyone else. Now, unfortunately, because the right-wing attacks and the extremist position on the left, the country is now turning against those transgender rights, which we have been trying to protect the entire time. So, okay, you can disagree and go, nope, we'll go for a maximalist position, and that'll magically. turn the country around. Well, it hasn't happened yet. And you haven't been right about it at any point so far. So please stop doing damage to actually having human rights for everyone equally. And then on the topic of immigration, the country has actually gotten more conservative on that as well. And that includes the Democratic Party. But remember, the election overall is determined

by independent voters. Most Democrats are going to vote for Kamala Harris regardless, right? So she's trying to get that very, very small slice of the pie as it pertains to independent voters. So look, although the majority of Democratic voters want a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who are currently here in the United States, this chart that you're about to see shows that there's a growing share of voters who say that undocumented immigrants should not be allowed to stay in the country legally. So the chart shows that 59% of Democrats, or I'm sorry, voters in general, it's not just Democrats. 59% of voters in general agree with this idea as of June when this poll was done by Pew Research.

But that number has actually gone down from 77% in 2017. So again, back in 2017, 77% of American voters believe that there should be a pathway of citizenship or to citizenship for the undocumented immigrants who are currently here. That number has now dropped to 59%. Yeah, well, that phrasing is a little bit different because they might be speaking out again. catch and release. So, but either way, it's turning against immigrants because the right wing is doing demagoguery. The left wing is saying nothing is wrong at all, which is driving people crazy, and it's gaslighting people. And so when those two forces meet, you get this result. So the huge majority of the country has been on the right side for a long time. Legal immigration,

done in the right way. And by the way, more immigrants coming in is totally okay as long as we do it in a legal way. And we have undocumented immigrants. You want to apply for asylum? That makes sense. You want to have a pathway to citizenship. After my God, 14 years of work, that makes sense.

I would make it the number of years less, not more, right? But if you say, oh, just let them in and then don't do anything about it. And there is no crime and there is no gang. and there is no nothing and there is no problem, people are gonna hate you because it sounds like you're denying reality and then it drives the numbers down. So we're just on a pathway to maybe every situation worse. We had this issue, we needed to force a vote on it so we can get the protection for dreamers so we can have a pathway to citizenship so we could have sensible laws in this country

that loves and welcomes immigrants. Now we're sliding in completely the wrong direction. Final thing that I'll say, and this is according to Gallup, which released their own poll on immigration in June, well, they did the study in June and released the results in July. They found that among independence, 50% of them want decreased immigration today when it was only 39% of independence just last year. This is by the way, the title of the Gallup study, if you want to look at it, it's titled sharply, more Americans want to curb immigration to the United States, 55,000,

25% want immigration levels reduced, highest since 2001. Okay, so in that Gallup report, they find that 50% of independence would want decreased immigration today when that number was only 39% last year, only 17% of independence want to increase immigration. That number was 26% just last year. So if you're wondering what is motivating Kamala Harris, it's the hearts and minds of Americans as is being reflected in these polls. So speaking of polls, one last poll for you guys, because I'm genuinely curious about this.

That's why we do polls. Should American citizens pay for undocumented detainees gender reassignment surgeries? So because I want to know, maybe we're out of step. Maybe you guys think, oh, of course American citizens should pay for gender reassignment surgeries. I'm curious. So I'm not sure how you guys are going to come out. TYT.com slash polls. And we'll have that up on YouTube community as well.

All right. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys say. All right, we gotta take a break when we come back. We've got more news for you, including what are we gonna talk about, Jank? Oh, Donald Trump is still fantasizing about running against Biden rather than Kamala Harris. So we'll get to that and more when we come back.
