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. I'm so upset. Oh my God. Big God. You're Anna Krasparian with you guys. All right, war is imminent. So we've got a lot of updates, including one that just broke right before we got on air about the war with Iran.

Could be within the next couple of days, max 10 days. How is it going to be carried out, like I said, an important update. The former Prince Andrew, the prince formerly named Andrew, has been arrested. There's accountability across the world, except one nation that has done no accountability. That's, of course, America. Would that be indicative of a nation under God? It doesn't seem so, but it could be an indication of a nation under another nation. Okay, so we'll see about that.

Lots to get to, let's do it, Casper. Well, we begin with one of the most important stories that will impact the lives of Americans because we'll be paying for it. And if you're in the military, you might be risking your life for it. That's potential war with Iran, of course. Let's get to the details. You look at what's happened in Gaza. And one of the keys to it was when we took those beautiful, magnificent, we just ordered 22 more of them, updated model.

The B-2 bombers are incredible. It went into Iran and it totally decimated the nuclear potential. And when it did, when it decimated that all of a sudden we had peace in the Middle East. Now we may have to take it a step further or we may not. Maybe we're going to make a deal with you're going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days. Well, that was President Donald Trump speaking at the first meeting for the so-called Gaza Peace Board, where various individuals salivated over the notion of building resorts and hotels in this prime real estate known as Gaza. But for the purposes of this discussion, we're going to focus on potential

war with Iran, because according to Axios reporter and Israeli insider Barack Ravid, the Trump administration is closer to a major war in the Middle East than most Americans realize. Now, before we get to the details, Jank, are we not realizing how close we are to war with Iran? I'm pretty sure we do realize it, at least you and I do. So for the purpose of that board of peace, apparently there may be a little board of peace. So they're like, why don't we try war? And so he's literally doing a campaign speech for war at the board of peace. No, he's talking about buying more B2 bombers.

I mean, it's just absurd. It is. It's amazing. It's absurd. But anyway, what I want to tell you about this story is that wait for the Democrats to come in and secretly helped Trump go to war. Of course, the Unip Party. And then you gotta get ready because we're going to tell you when it looks like we're gonna go to war and how and what's going to happen afterwards. Because I'm pretty sure about the ramifications and I want to talk to you about that.

Now, a story broke right before we came on air where Trump is considering doing limited strikes in Iran rather than a lengthy sustained war. I don't trust anything that comes out of his mouth at this point because he changes his mind any given hour. So take that with a grain of salt. But here are some other details based on Reveed's reporting. Go ahead, Jake. Yeah, I have a theory on that before you get into the full details of all the reporting. So the limited strike, so Trump doesn't want to put in ground troops, but there's no way to

get regime change without ground troops and Israel wants regime change. So they've been trying to trick him into this war. Oh yeah, bring some ships, you never know. Oh yeah, don't worry, you won't we won't need ground. But now they're saying, yeah, it's going to take a long time, weeks, et cetera, Anna's going to give you the details. Can I ask you something? Can I ask you something? Because I just, I can't get over this.

The overwhelming feel I get from our media, from our politicians is, well, that's it. I mean, Trump's got to go through, he's got to do something. But what if he says, you know what? This was a mistake. I'm not going to do any of this. We're bringing back our military assets. We're not going to do a limited strike. We're not going to do anything.

Why can't he do that? He absolutely could and he would probably get a standing ovation back at home for bringing our troops back from us by the way. Yes. And so we would give him credit, the right wing would be happy and the right wing would get to go, his base would get to go, we told you he was anti-war. Oh my God, they'd be so happy. And then on top of that, the cries from the Israelis.

A double win. Double win. And that would make him intensely popular. The problem is, I'm not sure there's a single American inside the White House. And here's what I mean by that. So now they've convinced him to apparently to do a limited strike. Why? Because they know he doesn't want to get into, at least he thinks, and he's said in the past

and he's wedded to, I don't want a long extended war in the Middle East, right? But the reality is there is no limited strikes. Once you do a strike, they're gonna strike back and then you're gonna strike more. So the Israelis inside the White House, which is almost all of them, are whispering in Israel, oh yeah, no, it's okay, let's do a limited strike, it'll be fine, but you have to, And by the way, and this is where your point comes in, and I thought the same exact thing as I was reading the Axios piece. They're like, now of course, if he pulls back and doesn't do his Israel demands, this

will be deeply embarrassing and hurt his presidency terribly, right? Wait, will it? Why? It's almost like the media is trying to push him into that war. In fact, you know what, I'm gonna fast forward to Graphic 2 here, because, you know, Axios is supposed to do straight reporting, no opinion, but Barack Reveed injected some of his opinion in this latest piece of his and he, by the way, calling it a piece is laughable, a collection of bullet points if you will.

He writes, Trump's military and rhetorical buildups make it hard for him to back down without major concessions from Iran on its nuclear program. Why? Why does it make it hard for him? First of all, Iran is ready and willing to make concessions on nuclear and only nuclear. The thing is, the Israelis keep moving the goalposts and pretending like, this is about, you know, weapons when in reality, this is about Israelis wanting regime change. So now they're saying, we want Iran to give up their ballistic missiles and be defenseless,

knowing that Israel wants to attack them. No, they're not going to give up their ballistic missiles, nor should they, to be honest with you. No country should be pressured or forced to give away or let go of any type of military capability that they have for their own self-defense. Yeah, one last quick point about the media. You know, if a president, uh, defies what he said earlier and goes to war or bombs. The media never goes, yeah, it's such a lie with you. He said red line and he was anti-war and he wasn't, oh, that is unacceptable. But if the president says a red line or makes a threat and he doesn't go to war, then the

press is all over him. Oh, what a coward, what a weakling. He said the terrible message here. They did that to Obama, they keep goading Trump. What happened to an objective? It's absurd. So look, the administration has not given us any reason to support this war. And so what I mean is, you know, typically in previous administrations, sure, they would

lie to the American people, as George W. Bush did in the lead up to the preemptive war in Iraq. But at least there was an attempt to sell the war to the American people. I never bought it, but there was that attempt. With the Trump administration, there has been no explanation as to why we want to do this, how it would benefit the American people. Because remember, we're the ones paying for it. We're the ones who would have to risk our soldiers in, let's say, a sustained war in Iran

in the pursuit of regime change. And so here's a prime example to show you exactly what I'm talking about. This is White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt. She's asked, like, what are we doing here? Why are we doing it? And get a load of her answer. Can you share a little bit about the president's thinking on whether or not to strike Iran, who he's talking to, what information he's consuming, and why a strike might be necessary

on a nuclear program he says was obliterated by the last U.S. strike? Well, there's many reasons and arguments that one could make for a strike against Iran. The president had a very successful operation as Commander-in-Chief with Operation Midnight Hammer, as you know, as you just said, totally obliterated Iran. nuclear facilities. The president has always been very clear though with respect to Iran or any country around the world. Diplomacy is always his first option.

And Iran would be very wise to make a deal with President Trump and with this administration. He's talking to many people, of course his national security team first and foremost, and you know who the members of that team are. And this is something obviously the president takes seriously. If Operation Midnight Hammer was so successful, why do we need to do more? strikes against Iran. She doesn't explain that. And she didn't specify anything in regard to how this war would be beneficial for the American people. Iran is not a threat to the United States. Their missiles would not reach the United States. They do not have the military capacity to

strike the United States. Iran is a threat to Israel. Israel would like our country and our military to fight that war for them, and everyone knows it. And that's why they're not trying to sell the war, because there is no selling this war. How are you gonna sell it? Like, oh, Israel wants to decapitate every Middle Eastern government so they're defenseless, so they can set up greater Israel. And that's our business, how, right? You cannot form a defense of this war without using the words Israel or Middle East, right?

So because they don't wanna say Israel, so they'll often say like, it's important to regional stability in the Middle East. It's important to our interests in the Middle East. All that means Israel, Israel, Israel. The Anna's right, I mean, they didn't even have nukes in the first place, but like, okay, theoretically we could have interest in their nukes, but ballistic missiles can't reach us at all. Their proxies can't reach us at all. We have no interest in this war at all.

And what I'm frustrated by the press is, so that brother right there asking a good question, right, credit, where credit is due. But why is no one asking, wait, what are the American interest in this war? Please be specific. I mean, they literally haven't said one word about what our interests are. So it's just super brazen that this is a war that is 100% for Israel. And everyone knows it. That's why they're tiptoeing around it.

Oh, no, we wouldn't want to be called anti-Semitic. If you don't go to war for Israel, you're an anti-Semite. What the. Now, prior to the latest Wall Street Journal piece where they allege that Trump is leaning more toward the direction of limited strikes. Prior to that, they had reported that Trump hasn't decided whether to order strikes or, if he does order them, whether to aim, whether the aim would be to halt Iran's already battered nuclear program, wipe out its missile force, or try to topple the regime.

Now if Trump did limited strikes and wiped out, you know, Iran's ballistic missiles, I guarantee Israel would still be breathing down his neck, we want regime change. Because that's what this is all about. That's what this is all about. They want regime change. Anna, there's another giant answer there for you guys. So the president of the United States has not made up his mind why he's going to attack Iran. Then why are we attacking Iran?

Why didn't you bring half our fleet into the Gulf if you don't even know why we're attacking them? What your objective is? That's because it is not our objective, it's Israel's objectives, and they're saying, I want all of it, the nuclear program, the ballistic missiles. He's not negotiating with Iran. There's fake negotiations with Iran right now. He's negotiating with the Israelis. But sir, pretty please, can I just knock out their ballistic missiles but not do regime change?

Because regime change is going to require ground troops. And then Yau comes along with, shut up, do as I tell you. And Trump's like, okay, I'm sorry. And then J.D. Vance, and everybody comes in, limited strikes, it'll be okay. Marco Rubio is like, yeah, start the war, start the war, Israel give me more money. So I defy anyone in our press to tell us what our, what American interests here are, and why this isn't 100% for Israel. I'm glad you mentioned Vice President Vance because I did watch the unfortunate meeting today,

the first meeting for the Gaza Board of Peace. And J.D. Vance was one of the first speakers. And I just want to make it very clear to anyone who might be under this impression, that J.D. Vance is this anti-interventionist politician. He isn't. And his statements make that clear. There's really no daylight between him and Marco Rubio on this matter. So just keep that in mind. But let's move on to the military buildup, because Jenk is right. We have continued sending military assets to the Persian Gulf. And in this next video featuring Trey Yinks from Fox News, he's going to describe a little more of what we've been doing in the last 24 hours. Take a look.

The surge of U.S. military air power to the Middle East is the largest since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. More U.S. military equipment is on the way, including the world's largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, now arriving at the Mediterranean Sea. And while reports indicate President Trump has discussed a timeline for striking Iran, no final decision has been made as the region walks a tightrope between diplomacy and war. Today, the Iranian Navy continued joint drills with the Russian Navy in the Sea of Oman. Earlier, they also issued a notice to airmen in Western Iran to conduct rocket launches as part of ongoing drills. With the region on the brink of direct conflict, European countries, including Poland, have started to warn their citizens in Iran to exit the country as soon as possible. Just want to give Trey Yink some credit because he might be the only decent reporter over at Fox News.

He's like a star among those wannabe reporters. But nonetheless, just to add a little more detail in regard to what we have sent over to the region. According to the Wall Street Journal, over the past few days, the US has continued to move cutting edge F-35 and F-22 jet fighters toward the Middle East. A second aircraft carrier loaded with attack and electronic warfare planes is on the way. Command and Control aircraft, which is vital for orchestrating large air campaigns are inbound, and critical air defenses have been deployed to the region in recent weeks. And I just want to be clear, this is not the type of military buildup that's indicative of a limited strike. This is a type of hardware we're talking about for a sustained military campaign.

The options include a campaign to kill scores of Iranian political and military leaders with the goal of overthrowing the government, U.S. and foreign officials said, as well as an air attack that would be limited to striking targets, including nuclear and ballistic missile facilities, both would involve a potentially weeks long operation. So I'm gonna go to one more video here featuring the person who gives Trump and any U.S. politician for that matter, any president for that matter, their marching orders. and that person will be, of course, whoever the leader of Israel happens to be at any given moment. Unfortunately, right now we're talking about Benjamin Netanyahu. Here's what he had to say in his little speech in Hebrew.

I clarified to my friend President Trump the principles that, in Israel's view, must guide any negotiations with Iran. We are prepared for every scenario and one thing is certain. If the Ayatollahs make a mistake and attack us, they will receive a response that they cannot even imagine. This will be fun. Let's talk about first dates. We've all been there.

So there you have Netanyahu, letting Trump know what must guide him in these negotiations that I think is just a facade. I don't think that these negotiations are happening in good faith at all. Well, look, guys, understand the war is 100% inevitable at this point. Before I never told you that, I said, look, we don't know with timing, Israel's trying to push us into it. In fact, I think we had a conversation the other day about will they be able to survive, do this, find get there. And Anna was like, what are you talking about?

Is it a question of whether we're 100% controlled by Israel? Obviously we are. And it looks like now obviously we are, right? So why do I say that? Because what we're asking you for is to get rid of all of their missiles. No country on earth would ever agree to that. That's an absurd ask. That's an ask you make when you don't want peace.

You don't want negotiations. You want fake negotiations before you launch the war you wanted to launch. And Anna's right again about Netanyahu. The principles that must guide it. Who are you? Who are you, who are you, BB Nanyahu? And the reality is, to be fair to him, he's right. He is the guy who controls U.S. foreign policy.

He's above the president. He's above the Supreme Court. It's not in our Constitution, but that's what's happening. We're all seeing it with our own eyes. The only liars who aren't talking about it is, as usual, establishment media pretending that this is in our interest, although they can't name a single interest. Yeah, exactly.

So then they're saying that Gerald R. Ford, the largest aircraft carrier we have, which I keep telling you are sitting ducks. And I mean, it's so symbolic because Ford was mainly known as a bungler and for tripping. And so we're sending this aircraft carrier that's like basically with a giant sign that says, bomb me, I'm a sitting duck, right? That's amazing, I didn't know that. Yeah. Because honestly, everything about this, like these are the beginning phases of what could

be a completely disastrous war for the United States. And it just seems like Trump is learning as he goes, right? Like he, or more importantly, he doesn't really know, like he's not committed to anything. He changes his mind at any given moment. By the way, that could also be a lie. He might know that he's definitely gonna strike Iran, that it's gonna be a sustained military campaign. I mean, how else would you justify sending? Because that costs money.

All of those military assets that costs us money. Guys, look, I could even pinpoint for you guys when we are most likely to strike. Friday night, our time or Saturday. Okay, why? Because that's almost always when we strike, because you want as a little, I mean, it's absurd. They do it in some such one element of surprise. That's why Trump is saying 10 days. He wouldn't say 10 days if it was in 10 days.

He'd say 10 days if it's in one or two days, right? That's he thinks that that's a big trick, like people aren't onto that. And they try to do things like this at a time when there's less press. But it's a war, there's gonna be massive press no matter what, but there's still dumb asses in the ancient times. But more importantly, like you, why do I keep saying about the aircraft carriers being sitting ducks? Because guys, what happened in the past? Why weren't they sitting ducks before? because you would have to pull up a ship next to it and fire cannons and missiles and

etc. And our ships are bigger and better equipped than theirs. But these days, there's millions of drones. So you just launch as many drones as you can and you just get them to attack the ship, go into critical pipes, et cetera, blow places that they know are vulnerable in a ship. So in the modern era, this is- Stupid. Incredibly risky to do this. Yeah. Then we could lose so many guys over there.

And if, and by the way, the Russians are there now helping the Iranians and the Chinese gave the Iranians weapons. I mean, we talked about World War three and Trump's big thing was, I'm anti-war and Biden is gonna get us into World War three with Russia and Ukraine. And here he is, oh, the Russians are right there and the Chinese. Yeah, let's blunder in. And Anna, to your point, look, he might know when he's going to attack. But to this day, based on all the reporting, he doesn't know why he's going to attack.

Yeah, 100%. Yes. If I was sending half the US fleet into the Gulf, I would know exactly why I'm sending them. Yeah. And exactly what we're trying to accomplish. And I would have very long meetings about how to accomplish that. Instead, the president is still saying, and the press is accepting, oh, we're gonna go in Iran because that's not a thing, man. Yeah. Finally, don't forget who did this to you. And hey, Israelis, I'm doing you a favor, right? Why am I doing you a favor? Because you say this war is gonna be great for America.

It's in our interest. You're helping America and the West by making us start this war. Great, I'm giving you credit. So when this is so helpful to America, I'll be forced to come back on air and say, the Israelis helped us so much with this war. Thank God we went into this war as the Israelis commanded us. Look at all the benefits we got. But my guess is it will not go that way.

And remember, not just the Israelis, but all the sell-up politicians and all the sell-out media who led you into this war, just like they did with Iraq, all for Israel. And it really is a bipartisan effort. Anyone who thinks Democrats would be better on this issue have another thing coming. And I'm going to show you the receipts when we come back from the break. Let's go to our members on t-y-t.com. Mike Ron 94 says it's Turkentime. I remember that Justinberlake song, show me what you're twerking with.

And I thought, that's a song? It brings sexy back. That's one of the lyrics, okay. Okay, okay, whatever. Like, who cares? Like, who cares? Apparently you do, you do, you care a lot. We get on my ass for it, it's a lyric and not the name of the song.

Anyway, I thought it was, show me what you're turkin with. And I was like, I'll show it, you want me sure? I'll show you. No, no, that's okay, that's okay. Turkey. Okay, Durge says, are those same 10, are those the same 10 days that took for Trump to reveal this healthcare plan? I mean, I wish, then we would never get to war. He's still working on those concepts.

Yeah, yeah, he's concepts of a plan where they're calculating as we speak. So is Mike Johnson. All the Republicans, for the last 20 years, they've been working on a health care plan. But nobody knew it was as complicated. Wedgerick, by that definition, Jenk, proud anti-Semite here. So that's the sad part. You know, Wedge is joking, but now I see all over online, I'm starting to hear from folks, like they're turning me anti-Semitic. This is crazy. No, no, no, no, hold on. Don't let that happen. Yeah, and I tell them, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, right? So like, don't let them win, okay? Don't let them win.

Do not ever, ever allow your heart to be full of hate for any group of people simply based on their identity. Only horrible people allow that brain rot to take over, okay? You know, people who would say things like, I can't wait until we wipe out all the Arabs, you know, I'm paraphrasing, but that's what Gilae Maxwell was emailing about. It's disgusting. I would never allow that kind of brain rot to take over. And or Muslims, in which case, that's Laura Lumer, Mark Levin, and so many others. Of course, you're Andy fine. Boomer Dragon Cat says, by the way, Somebody said that to me today. They say, you know, Mark Living calls you this dirty muze and all these terrible racist things.

So why don't you just say that he is Jew something or other? No. And I was like, why? You want me to be as dumb as Mark Levine? Like you want me to be as hateful and evil as Mark Levine? No. But if you say, but on the other hand, if people say, no, Israel is the one holy moral country that would never do anything wrong.

I mean, you're living on a different planet and you're being utterly absurd. Yeah, boomer dragon cat says, I just can no longer suffer fools. I thought I'd master patience, I was wrong. But cat, they'll drive you to the edge, right? All of these politicians and everything that's going on. Visionary says Trump has become the counterpart of Biden. He's mentally shot, has no idea what's going on, certainly none of the specifics. And the White House is totally being run by Miller, Rubio, and Vance, aided and abetted by Israel, and that includes ICE.

Autopenn. Auto pen. Yeah, totally. Is there auto pen? I mean, he was falling asleep during the Gaza, a peace board meeting today. Yeah, so look, I think what's underrated is how much Stephen Miller runs the entire government, okay?

And Stephen Miller wants us to go to war, wants a police state, a surveillance state, he is Israel. So I think Stephen Miller has a lot more say than he deserves when it comes to domestic policy. I think Marker Rubio is running foreign policy. I do, and I think it, the proof is in the pudding. I have concepts of a plan. I just do it. And TYAT Jank, Anna, I'm Brian Wells. Brian, thanks for hitting that beautiful join button below.

We appreciate anybody who does CDN, Norse Dogdad. Thank you for gifting a membership on YouTube. Happy Warrior Dragon. Thank you for gifting a membership on Twitch. You guys are awesome. Casper. Well, let's talk a little bit about the uniparty system that we are living under, especially as it pertains to certain important topics.

End result of APAC or defense contractors bribing members of both parties. across the political spectrum is that you end up with a uniparty. In fact, let's use the impending war with Iran as a perfect example to demonstrate what I'm talking about here. Because here's Democratic Senator Mark Warner, who seems to be pretty supportive of going to war with Iran, a country that hasn't attacked us. I think it's appropriate that the president has all the options on the table. But we saw when he has such a confusing foreign policy, we don't know what's going to happen. We know a month and a half ago when the Iranian people were on the streets in massive numbers, and the regime was so repressive.

And he promised he was going to do something then. He couldn't do that then because we didn't have forces because the aircraft carrier was off the coast of Venezuela on another military mission, as opposed to being in eastern Mediterranean. If we were to take action against Iran, our ability to really put pressure on the regime. And the regime is awful. It's really going to be undercut by the fact that our Europeans who have diplomatic relations with Iran, that have business relations that could put more pressure on as well. I'm not sure they're going to be fully there because of their uncertainty about the president's overall foreign policy approach.

Remember, the president said in our previous brahming that we had obliterated Iran's nuclear. program. While clearly our military did an exquisite job, we did not obliterate Iran's nuclear program. Clearly the Iranian regime is horribly unpopular with the Iranian people. And gosh, you know, seeing regime change would make sense. Seeing regime change would make sense. Make no mistake about it, Democratic Senator Mark Warner is fully on board with a war against Iran. It's just that he doesn't want to give Trump credit. So he has to mix in criticism toward Trump while simultaneously supporting a military campaign against Iran. In fact, his criticism was why wasn't he ready to go to war earlier?

So, no, let me be clear. I despise corporate Democrats. And they are not our friends, they're not our allies, they're not our colleagues. So when I see people like AOC talking about like, we have to be unified with our Democratic colleagues. Those Democratic colleagues are sellouts. They will sell out to any corporation and any foreign government that bribes them. Mark Warner is one of the top sellouts. But to be fair to them, really, it's 95% of them are the same exact thing. They're all just robots off an assembly line. So look at this son of a bitch. While we're about to go into the most disastrous war in Iran,

he's going, oh, every military options have to be on the table. We should have gotten to war earlier. Oh, I'm criticizing Donald Trump because he's not a big enough warmonger. Israel, have I done enough for you? Israel, right? Why don't you go to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem? I'm so sick of these incredibly corrupt. Look, Israel is a country like any other country. If any other country had that kind of power, I think they would do very similar things. To be able to like own the U.S. Congress, control the U.S. military, you'd kind of have to be crazy not to do it, right? So that's why I get angrier at our politicians and our media that have betrayed us. And so Mark Warner is betraying you there. And remember, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry Joe Biden all voted for the Iraq war.

Yep. There's no difference in the unit party. They're all corrupt and they all work for their donors. They betray us on a daily basis. You should be furious with them. Now, stylistically, you'll notice a difference, but substantively, take a look at Republican Senator Ted Cruz and explain to me whether there's any real difference in what they're pushing for. We're at an extraordinary moment in history. It is entirely possible, Sean, that in the next six months, we will see the regimes fall in Iran, in Venezuela, and in Cuba. And we could also see governments replace them that want to be friends with the United States of America. Now, let me be clear. I'm not being polyanish about this. There are thousand things that can go wrong. But if that happens,

This would be the most consequential geopolitical shift since the fall of the Berlin Wall, since America won the Cold War without firing a shot. I spoke with President Trump the day before yesterday, and we talked in particular about Iran. And I said, this moment, the regime is teetering. The Ayatollah is in his last days. And I said, do not let this opportunity pass. Okay. What Ted Cruz said there about how we could do regime change, so the puppet government that

we install in Iran will be friends with the United States. Okay, I want a single politician. Ted Cruz would be great if he would be willing to answer this question. Why do we have bad relations with Iran? In fact, during these negotiations, Iran said, we will make the concessions when it comes to, you know, the enrichment of uranium, when it comes to, you know, nuclear development or anything like that, we will definitely make concessions there. Let's have a conversation.

They even threw an oil concessions. That's what I was gonna say. They're like, how about, how about we open up economic opportunities in Iran for the United States? We give you access to our oil, we give you access to mining. Okay, the only reason why we have a bad relationship with Iran is because of Israel. That's the only reason why. So what we're gonna do if Ted Cruz gets his way, if Israel gets his way, is regime change

in Iran, we will pay for it, of course. We will risk the lives of our soldiers to do it, of course, for what? To benefit us here in the United States? No, of course not. But to benefit Israel so they can operate without anyone or any country hindering them from their main goal, which is expansionism, right? The Greater Israel Project. And as I reported on the show yesterday, if you pay attention to Israeli media, if you listen

to their politicians, Naftali Bennett is the latest example. They're already planning for whatever war comes after Iran. And that war would be against Turkey. And NATO ally. Yeah. So they're gonna force America to attack a NATO out? Why do you think Trump has been battering NATO and the United Nations? Because Israel despises NATO and despises the United Nations.

So they want to undermine their credibility because how are you going to get greater Israel? Part of it is in Turkey without attacking NATO. So you have to say, oh, you know what, NATO's not important. You know what, get out of NATO. Get out of all of your alliances. Be isolated, be alone, and serve only Israel. And that'll help American interests. Nonsense.

So first let me address Ted and then I'll address the larger points. So now everybody online is calling him Tel Aviv Ted. And so if you're from the old school, if you're a normie who watches cable news, Oh my God, that sounds like vaguely anti-Semitic. First of all, he's not Jewish, he's theoretically Christian. Second of all, he literally said to Tucker Carlson that the reason he went into the Senate was to serve Israel. So if that's not Tel Aviv Ted, what, I mean, that's amazing, that's amazing, that should have ended his career. Imagine if some like, Senator was like, I only went into the Senate to serve Paraguay.

You'd be like, what? Why the hell did you do that? And you literally just told me you don't want to serve America, you want to serve a different So off you go. So and then he said, you know, this could be difficult, you know, but if he pulls it off, you know, this is one of the greatest. It reminded me of Chris Matthews saying about George Bush, if he pulls off this democracy in Iraq, he should go on Mount Rushmore.

And if you're saying, wait a minute, wasn't Chris Matthews on MSNBC, wasn't he a Democrat? No, there is, it's all uniparty. Chris Matthews made a living out of philating Republicans and anyone going to be able to in a war. And the mission accomplished landing, if you remember that, the banner and it was like Bush's worst moment when he pretended that we had already won the war two months in. Chris Matthews said, he looks like a swaggering cowboy and he came off of a fighter jet. He's amazing, right?

Because there's, all of Washington is totally and utterly occupied by Israel, which then leads us to the substantive points. So Anna's right, we did this before, we got rid of their democratically elected leader back then, Mossadegh, we put in the Shah, and the people of Iran hated it so much, it led to the Islamic revolution. That's true. Right? So like, oh, we're helping the Iranians.

Oh, we're helping the Middle East or stability. Oh, don't worry, we're going to have an ally there forever. No, we're not until the next revolution, and the next one will be even more radical. And then he said, we're going to attack Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran. Do you remember any campaign ads of Donald Trump saying, now, if you elect me, I will attack everyone across the globe. I will start three different wars at the same time. No, he said the exact opposite.

But no matter who you vote for, you always get Israel. And why? Because the guys like Mark Warner and Ted Cruz, who have sworn an allegiance to Israel and will always serve them rather than our own country. And finally, so the US military forever has planned for and has been worried about a two front war. Can we handle a two front war? But before it seemed less likely, why would we get into a two front war?

But now the moron, Donald Trump, trying to serve every single Israeli interest, it's like, oh, you guys didn't like that Venezuela was working with Iran. Okay, now we're in Venezuela. Now you guys, of course, Iran's your number one enemy. So he's got our fleet spread out to Venezuela. And so let me ask you guys something. Let's say Iran's a mess, which is almost certainly will be. What's going to prevent the Venezuelans from going, you know what, we're not listening

to you anymore? Yeah. Now what are you going to do? Okay, now you're going to invade Venezuela while you're in the middle of a gigantic war with Iran? Come on, this is so dumb. I have to add one more thing. During the, you know, Gaza Peace Board meeting that took place today, something that really

stood out and something that has really started to get under my skin is this like mocking of the UK for allowing in Muslim immigrants, right? Oh, it's the Islamification of your country. Okay, so what exactly does the West think will happen? as a result of this war against Iran, a country of 92 million people, what do they think is going to happen? If you destabilize that country of 92 million people and people flee, where are they going to go? And then you're going to hear from the United States or European leaders whining about this. Maybe you should have maybe prevented this nonsense war because no one should be fighting it.

If Israel stops trying to annex land from sovereign countries, then they don't have to worry about Iran or its proxies. But that's the thing, Israel wants to expand. So everyone else has to pay the price. Is Israel going to take it any refugees? Israel pretends to care so much about the Iranians who want regime change. Are they gonna allow the Iranians into their country? Anna, that's such a great idea.

Great point, I never thought about that. They're like, we care so much about the Muslims protesting for peace. Oh, good news, you could release five and a half million Palestinians that you kept basically as prisoners for 58 years. So they're obviously they're the biggest liars in the world. And a single person, I mean, you'd have to have an IQ in the 20s to think that Israel cares so much about the Muslim protesters in Iran. They're not doing it for their own interests.

No, not at all. Not all. Not all. But look, I wanted to comment on what Anna said, the Muslimification of UK or America. first making the argument that be careful, Muslims might take over. Dude, you already took over. Like, you think you're gonna trick people? Oh, Muslims have all the power in the White House and Congress, and Israel doesn't. You'd have to be a mainstream media reporter to be that stupid.

And let me just note that they constantly say things like that. The Muslim takeover, the muslification. Imagine if you reverse it and you said, oh, don't let this country get jewified, the Jewish takeover, the Jewification. Well, your career would be over instantly and it should be. That's a terrible, terrible thing to say. It's bigoted and hate it's hateful. And those are the same exact people that if you criticize Israel 1% will be like,

anti-semitism. I care so much about bigotry, but the Muslims are dirty and we shouldn't let them in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it. Israel can kiss my ass, okay? And so can all those politicians driving us into war and into bankruptcy to serve another country. When we come back from the break, we'll talk about the latest in the Epstein files debacle, namely some revelations regarding a close associate of Epstein's who was ready and willing to cooperate with the authorities, and then suddenly he didn't.

We'll be right back. On TYT, CK Progressive writes in, Mark Warner's up for reelection this year. Is anyone challenging him in the primary? Look guys, sight unseen, vote against all the incumbents. There's a small list of incumbents that have stopped giving money to Israel and stop taking money from Israel. And we've put that list up on Operation Consequences.com, okay? So you click on good guy legislators, it's on the right hand side, and you'll see.

If your congressman or senator is on that list, then keep voting for them. If they're not, or evaluate them fairly based on other factors, right? But if your congressman or senator is not on that list, they work for Israel. So you should definitely vote against them. I'd vote for a random guy off the street against Mark Warner. Why do I want an Israeli senator in Congress for another six years? He would do great damage. You should definitely vote against Mark Warner in the primaries.

That's not even close. Jack Callahan says, I phone my senator's office, John Kennedy, to say there a resolution 38, which is a yes vote for stopping a war in Iran proposing Congress by Rokana and Tom Massey. Yes. So look guys, the reason why Rokaneh, the reason why Rokane, and Tom Massey are now despised in Congress is because they're embarrassing the rest of them. Because they're actually doing their jobs. Exactly. They're literally the only people doing their job. Every once in a while, Rand Paul used to be MTG and Nancy Mays now sometimes does something good.

But it's so embarrassing if you're a Democrat and you have to say Nancy Mace and retired Marjorie Taylor Green because our Democrats, including the so-called progressives, where's Greg Kassar? Where the hell's Greg Casar? He came on the show, talked a good game, I made the mistake of believing him. Then he went into a cave and hasn't emerged since. Okay, where the hell are these so-called progressives in Congress? There's only one guy fighting for us, Rokana. Don't ever forget this, because later those BS guys will come out in a campaign, be like, oh, I fought for you all along.

No, no, no, this is the time to fight. The Democrats should be on fire against this war in Iran. Nope, nothing. Do you hear them? Do you see Democrats all over TV? Don't go to war. War is terrible, but it's a, no, nothing. Because of course they want the war. They're led by Chuck Schumer and Akeem Jeffries, who 100% work for Israel. So I'm so sick of their lies. Vote against them all. Don Dada Dragon says, Mac Miller was an awesome Jew. So is Ben Cohn. We're talking about you should never blame Jewish Americans. That's why he's writing this name. Jeffrey Sachs, total goat. I mean, we could name a thousand names, right? And so is my stepdad. He,

continues, he was an Air Force captain and was a dentist in our community of Cocoa Beach, Florida. For 35 years, he quite literally brought people brighter smiles for decades. Don't let them divide you from your neighbors. I couldn't agree more. A random Jewish person in America is not getting a call from Assad. They have nothing to do with any of this, okay? It's asshole like Mark Warner and Ted Cruz, who are not remotely Jewish, who are like, oh, I got money. Can I do this for Christians?

Can I do this for whatever the F? Okay, that's who Mark Warner and Ted Cruz. I'm going to serve Israel. Okay, you want to call it a meme? Yeah, I'll call it a bitch-ass meme. That's who they are. Stupid Democrats, after Republicans, I've been fighting against Republicans the whole time.

Democrats are supposed to be on our side, and they never are. It's hard not to despise them. We'll be back. Back on TYT, Chancon, Anna, with you guys. Boxy Brown, thank you for gifting two memberships on YouTube. Anna. Well, we should check in with the Epstein files, because there have been some pretty big revelations.

And when it comes to other countries, some consequences. Other foreign governments are actually doing something about this. Lord Mandelson is in trouble. Prince Andrew is in deep. Because everybody focuses on the pictures. When is something going to happen to him? I feel like we have so much stuff. They actually, they just opened an investigation.

Not only did they strip him. He hasn't gone to prison. Not only they strip him all of his royal titles. He's actually being investigated right now because Prince Andrew was a UK trade advisor while he was friends with Jeffrey Epstein, and he was forwarding confidential trade advisory documents to Epstein. That's one of the things that came out in the files. Prince Andrews currently under investigation by Scott Lennard and the British police. Well, those alleged financial crimes have now led to the arrest of the man formerly known as Prince Andrew.

He has had his title stripped from him as a result of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, well known pedophile and sex trafficker. Now, the individual you just heard from is Sagar and Jetty, of course. He was speaking with Andrew Schultz and they discussed, you know, the difference between the United States and foreign countries when it comes to the response from authorities regarding the revelations that we have found in the Epstein files, right? So, Jenk, before I give you some more evidence of this difference, what are you? your two cents.

So look, what happened to Les Wexner is going to show you why our government is compromised. So you've got to see this story, okay? But I will say in summary right now, so in the UK, they arrest the brother of the king. In Norway, they arrest the former prime minister. Crazy. And in the UAE, they punish assaulted. But we have not arrested a single Epstein client. The Dow.

But the Dow is at 50,000. No, seriously, our government is completely compromised. Whoever is running in, you don't, even if you don't want to put a name to it, whoever is in charge of making sure that you're protecting these predators is running our government, not the people we elected. Now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, as his name is now, has been charged with suspicion of misconduct in public office over his time as a trade envoy. This was between 2001 and 2011.

So during that 10 year period, he had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and documents in the Epstein files suggest that in 2010 and 2011, Mount Batten Windsor gave Epstein confidential insider information, which is illegal in almost every context except Congress, apparently. Now in one instance, Mount Baton Windsor forwarded Epstein official reports on his meetings in Singapore, Vietnam, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. And he passed along investment opportunities to Epstein, including but not limited to, the reconstruction of Afghanistan. And in regard to his brother's arrest, King Charles has actually handled this pretty well. He has made a public statement indicating that he's in favor of justice.

So he says, let me state clearly, the law must take its course. Doesn't care that Andrew is his brother. He wants the law to play out the way it's supposed to. Now Virginia Jouffray stated that she was raped by Mountbatten, Windsor, when she was only 17 years old. She did eventually drop those charges. Now if you talk to someone like Michael Tracy, he would argue it's because of the fact that Virginia Joufrey was not a credible person and she was throwing out false allegations.

But remember, Epstein, Andrew, we're talking about incredibly powerful, well-connected men, and who knows what was happening behind the scenes that led her to drop those charges. Meanwhile, the British police force is conducting several other investigations tied to the Epstein files. And Peter Mendelssohn, who's the former British ambassador to the United States, as we all know, has resigned over his ties to Epstein. he too is facing an investigation led by the British police. Now in France, investigators are reviewing the case of Jean-Luc Bernel, an Epstein associate who aided his sex trafficking operation allegedly, and Paris prosecutors have

announced that they are looking into three other men who were connected to Epstein. So other countries, including Western nations, are conducting investigations, making arrests. Here in the United States, on the day that they released the latest tranche of Epstein files, we heard from our deputy attorney general that there will be no more investigations, and they meant it. I mean, there haven't been any investigations, and there's no indication that our DOJ will conduct any investigations. Yeah, I think we might talk about Jean-Lucrenell more later, but his story is amazing because he gets ready to turn in Epstein and is ready to present evidence,

and then magically he never gets charged. So here's who they should call into these hearings. The FBI agents that made the decision to never charge anyone. The Justice Department officials, the FBI is the investigations, just department is charging, bring them both in. Why? You guys said Les We're going to get to him in a second. This is co-conspirator.

Why didn't you charge him? Why did you even investigate him? Because that is incredibly strange to say he is a co-conspirator of the biggest pedophersoner of the biggest pedophile in American history, and we're choosing not to investigate him. And you'll never guess what happened to Bernal when he finally got arrested after Epstein got arrested. He hanged himself in prison. Gee, I wonder what happened there. And so if you think these are still suicides, okay, I guess you probably work in mainstream media. All right, back to you.

So when you consider what's been happening in other countries, following the revelations that were made public from the release of the Epstein files to what's happening here in the United States, I mean it's day and night. So it is interesting to compare the UK's handling of these revelations from how the US is handling things. While the man formally known as Prince Andrew has just been arrested, the Department of Justice in the United States is refusing to open any real investigations and today President Donald Trump completely dodged the question when he asked if American elites link to Jeffrey

would face any accountability. He talked at length about pretty much anything else, including himself, and how sad it was that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor got arrested today. He thinks that that's sad. So it's bad for the royal family. Like, look at his state of mind guys. He doesn't think like, oh, those poor girls, he thinks, oh, they're powerless, so they're irrelevant.

They're not rich, so they're irrelevant. Oh, a rich person and his rich person. And his rich friends and family had to suffer. Sad. Oh, that's so sad. And only for raping girls, that's it? No, no, well, to be fair, it wasn't only for potentially, allegedly raping girls. It had to do with financial crimes, insider trading.

But it's gonna relate to that. So let me just say that real quick. Why do they arrest him on the trading issues and giving secret information to Epstein? Why do you think he gave secret information to Epstein? Because Epstein obviously was either great friends with him and was delivering these girls to him or at that point was using blackmail, right? We have none of the tapes. All of it was taped and the government says I can't find any of the tapes. I mean, this is so obvious. Yeah. So anyway, but there are Americans who were closely tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

There's no question about it. And one of those individuals happens to be Les Wexner, the former CEO of limited brands. Now, Wexner testified in front of the House Oversight Committee this week, and it didn't go well, let's just put it that way. Now, I should note that not a single Republican member of the House Oversight Committee showed up for Wexner's testimony, which I find very problematic and suspicious. But to be fair, when it comes to the Clintons, Democrats don't want to be there. Just go show up.

Okay, I'm sorry. So like, think about what you're messaging to your country. You are messaging to your country that you will provide cover for criminality, potentially like child rape, if the person who's suspected of carrying it out is in your party. And I think that's gross. But Anna, that's only for the Democrats. For the Republicans, Les Westster, we have no idea if he's a Republican or Democrat. No, no, I looked into it. He was a donor to Republicans. But my guess is the Republicans aren't showing up, not because of that, but because they think. he's connected to Israel and they don't want to anger Israel. Look, I don't know why they didn't show up. Comer apparently had some sort of health issue, that's the allegation. But I'm sorry, Nancy Mace, she's been vocal about the Epstein files. Why weren't you there?

You weren't interested in Les Wexner's testimony? God for- For- What were you doing other than that? Like that wasn't important to you? Anyway, I digress. Let me move on to what we know about the testimony that Wexner gave. So he testified in front of the House Oversight Committee this week, didn't go well, Democratic representative Robert Garcia stated that Wexner denied everything,

and quite frankly, it would have been nice to see more remorse. According to those present for the testimony, Wexner did not plead the fifth. So it's not like he was invoking the Fifth Amendment. He just kept saying that he doesn't remember things, right? He repeatedly stated that he could not remember various events. He also claimed that he was conned by Jeffrey Epstein, whom he He did not consider a friend and he stated that Epstein never trafficked any girls to him. The only thing Wexner said that is likely true is that he was never contacted by authorities

during any prior U.S. investigation into Epstein. I actually do happen to believe him on that. Here are some clips from the testimony. Did Mr. Epstein ever present you with women for your sexual entertainment? Absolutely not. did Jeffrey Epstein ever inform or represent to you that he was a part of any intelligence service of any nation, including the United States? Absolutely. Would you characterize your relationship with Mr. Epstein, at least initially,

to be solely business related? Yes. Did you at any time ever consider him to be a close friend? No. I think the perspective that I have now, and I think it's really important for this group to understand is it as I look back at it. I was conned by the World Olympic all-time con artist. When was the last time you were in contact with Mr. Epstein? I have no recall. No recall.

Has the FBI or D.J ever directly contacted you or spoken to you about? Not to my knowledge. Never. Never. So take Wexner's claims with a grain of salt. I don't trust him. Maxwell, Epstein's co-conspirator who is serving a 20 year prison sentence once described Wexner as being Epstein's closest friend. And during the deposition, Wexner was asked why he once addressed a letter to Epstein as your friend Leslie. Here's the letter. You can see at the bottom, your friend Leslie. He says, dear Jeffrey, I wanted to get you what you wanted. So he Here it is and then, you know, just signs the letter.

Yeah. So, Wexner in his testimony said that he didn't know Epstein that well. Apologies. We had to blur it out. I was like, wait, why is there a discrepancy between what I see in my page versus what's in the graphic? There was a hand-drawn image of breasts. Sorry. But girls, he doesn't know anything about the girls.

Oh, there was girls at Epstein's place? I had no idea. Les Wexner says. All right, so he says that he was barely friends with him, okay? Like they were not that friendly. Glenn Maxwell says closest friend. The emails show very friendly. In fact, when Epstein gets busted, Wexner back in 2008, writes him like, oh, you should

have been more careful. That was your number one rule about being really careful. Wait, why did he need a number one rule about being careful and not getting caught? And you claim you don't know anything about what he's doing. And then you draw the breasts and then you tell me you're not friends when Maxwell says you're the closest friends. But if you're not convinced by all that, well, first of all, you're having logic problems. But second of all, he also handed over his entire fortune to Epstein, which is remarkable.

Gave him power of attorney. For a billion dollars. So look, people run family funds, people help manage things, but they don't get power of attorney. They don't have unilateral power to spend that money in any way they like. So I always assumed that Waxner was being blackmailed and that's why he turned his entire fortune over to Epstein. But it turns out based on the emails, he was not being blackmail at all. And he was great friends with Epstein.

So handing over your fortune is incredibly strange unless you guys both had a similar purpose and you were serving the same master, right? And in which case for the motherland, you do whatever you need to do, you're for your fortune, blackmail, girls, whatever it is. And so, but Mike, number one issue here is the same as Anna's. He said that the FBI and the Justice Department never contacted him about Epstein. The FBI says he is Epstein's co-conspirator. So why did you never contact Epstein's co-conspirator?

There is no good answer for that. There's only one answer for that. Our government is compromised. Every time they go to do an investigation of Epstein or any of his associates, somebody comes in from higher up in the government and goes, you're not allowed to touch them. So why do they say that? Who are they actually working for? That's the number one question in the Epstein case.

Who are they actually working for? And look, again, our media is pathetic. There's cameras in every room. It's a classic honeypot operation. It's like- No, it gets worse, Jane. Intelligence Agency 101, 101. Drop site reported yesterday and I covered it. That the, since Ehud Barak, former Prime Minister was so close with Epstein and kept staying

at his Manhattan apartment, the Israeli government had installed an entire surveillance system in Epstein's Manhattan apartment. Yeah, no, no, no, the Israelis have nothing to do with it. It must have been the Russians. That's why the Israelis put in the surveillance system. Yeah, where are those videos? And again, covered by dropside news and ignored by the rest of establishment media. Because you can't say the word Israel, you can't say it.

So okay, I mean, eventually I guess the whole country is gonna watch this show and like more than the rest of cable news. Because if you're watching anything, network news or cable news, you're literally actively being lied to. They're never going to tell you what's really happening because it involves Israel. And it is overwhelming. It is obvious. And there's a mountain of evidence. Yeah. All right. When we come back, we've got one more Epstein-related story that you have to know about. And later, we'll check in with the economy because Trump would like you to believe that the tariffs have just really helped your economic situation. You're doing great. We'll be right back. Hey, Andrew, what's up?

Hey, Jake, you ready to make the switch? Yeah, I guess. I promise it's easy. Universal, basic, and you get income. Yeah, you keep saying that. But you sure I'm going to have coverage? Of course you will. You think I would have bad service?

I'm Andrew Yang. Of course I have good service. All right, let's try. But I'm so bad at tech. So, wait. Should I do this thing of the hashtag business? Andrew, you're still on, right? Yep.

Oh, I see it. Oh, yeah, I do see it. Here we go. I actually did not realize that you'd be searching in real time, but I love it. How much do people actually normally say? Yeah, the average American is going to save between $500 and $1,000 a year on Noble. Yeah, no. You know what I'm going to do, Andrew?

Are you ready to become a Noble member? The two buttons are do it and go back. There's no going back. We're doing it. We're doing it. Here we go, Noble Mobile Mobile. Oh my gosh, I just called you and are you now on Noble and not Verizon? Why didn't you tell me it was going to be super easy?

I know, man. Now you just stay away from your phone and watch the money roll in. I can do that. You got a phone, yeah. What the fuck? You're still there? Andrew? Oh, well, at least I got Noble Mo.

It was really just one take. The whole thing is wild. It's in my shoes. This in my shoes. Hi, I'm Brett Ehrlich with Breaking News with Brett Ehrlich. Breaking News with Brett Ehrlich. Hi. Red Ehrlich here. According to EPA head Scott Pruitt,

Only a dollar per month, so you gotta do it Nash. All right, Anna. Well, let's talk a little bit about one of Epstein's close associates who also allegedly took his own life while he was in prison. And that's Jean-Luc Brunel, let's discuss. John Luke Brunel, the French modeling mogul who was a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein's, was on the verge of speaking with federal authorities. He was planning to cooperate.

But Epstein found out about the planned meeting. And then in the end, Bernal never cooperated, never testified, never engaged in the deposition. Before I give you the details on this story and more, Jank your two cents? Yeah, there are actually three amazing facts in this story. You must know. And it tells you what's going on with the entire Epstein files in my opinion. So let Anna give you the facts and then I'll come back and double down on those important

So just to catch everyone up to speed, a few context details that you should know about. So Brunel met Epstein through Ghislaine Maxwell in the 80s. Now he was someone who was also accused of being a sexual predator. He faced countless allegations of rape and sexual abuse. He was also accused of gifting Epstein, 13 year old twins for his birthday. Now that's an allegation, but a very serious one at that. Now Epstein even helped Bernal fund a modeling agency in the United States. Gee, I wonder why Epstein would have any interest in funding something like that.

And Bernal's modeling agencies were utilized allegedly as a front for sex trafficking. Now here's what we have learned from the release of the Epstein files. In February of 2016, Bernel was speaking to lawyers representing Epstein survivors. A federal prosecutor wrote, quote, one of Epstein's best friends, Jean-Luc Bernal, has helped get girls. He is wanting to cooperate. Bernel is afraid of being prosecuted. So in other words, he was willing to cooperate as long as he was given immunity. Now, Bernel never ended up testifying, though.

So what happened? So before he was scheduled to meet with investigators, Epstein. caught wind of what was going on. And so he reached out to another one of his close associates, Kathy Rumler. Now if you're wondering who is that? That name sounds familiar. She was actually one of the lawyers for the White House under Barack Obama, former President Barack Obama.

Now Epstein wrote that Bernal was planning to go to the US Attorney's Office the following week and one of Bernal's friends had asked for $3 million so that Jean Luke would not go in. Let me read that again and pay close attention to it. Epstein wrote that Bernel was planning to go to the US Attorney's Office the following week, and this is the important part, one of Bernal's friends had asked for $3 million so that Jean-Luc would not go in. Jean-Luc didn't ask for $3 million.

One of his friends asked for $3 million. Yeah. So let's start with the amazing facts. Going off of that, Anna, so they're gonna arrest him. He's worried, Brunel is, and then EPSC finds out that he might get arrested. First of all, how do you find out? Because Epstein has people inside the government. He has all sorts of people inside the government.

In fact, one of them is Catherine Rumler. She's working for the Obama administration, but he calls her and he's like, can you help me with this child rapist? And she jumps and is ready to help him. Now, I'm sure she'll claim, oh my God, I didn't know he was a child rapist. I didn't know, Epstein was a child rapist. I didn't know any of it. Oh my God, okay. Sorry to go on a little bit of a tangent, but it's really important for you to understand

how implicated Rumler is based on the Epstein files. So a story that was just reported today, I read it in Bloomberg. I don't know if they broke the story. But do you remember years ago, Jank, there was a big debacle involving secret service members who were in Columbia hiring, you know, secondary? sex workers and everything. So it turns out, because this happened under the Obama administration, Rumler was privy to the investigation into the Secret Service agents who were engaging in that activity and was sending

Epstein details about the investigation. She even referred to the whole thing as ridiculous. So in the case of Brunel, she knows why he's being investigated, why he might get arrested. So it's not like she doesn't know. Exactly. Okay, so Rumler presumably doesn't care about the girls, right? That's not why she's into it, unlike the guys. So it makes me wonder why was Rumler so intent on helping all of these guys?

She was getting handbags from Epstein. Yeah, so maybe it was just handbags, but remember, she works at Goldman Sachs, it's not like she isn't wealthy, right? So she doesn't really need the bags. So if she sold herself out for that kind of small thing, I'd be surprised. To be fair, at that point in time, she wasn't working for Goldman Sachs. She was working for the Obama White House. Yeah, but my sense of Rumler is, again, as with Les Wexner, I feel like Rumler and

Romler is not working for Epstein. Rumler and Epstein are working for the same organization. Possibly. So I mean, the fact that Rumler is not being investigated right now is ludicrous. She's works at Goldman Sachs, she's gonna resign at the end of June, I think, right? What? designed immediately. No, no, no, no, of course not.

Of course not. She says to collect checks and get pampered and all this stuff. So why is Rumler not being investigated? Because this pattern is luter is insane. Why would anybody do this? No one would do this just because like, oh yeah, my pals, I have seen, my pals Bernal, my pals the guys who did Saxon, Columbia. No, no, so who's Rumler working for?

That's a great question. So I have more. Oh, okay, go ahead. Yeah. So that's amazing. Number two, as Anna's gonna tell us more about in a second, but you know, they knew that Brunel was doing raping girls back in 1988. So he's been doing this since the 1980s.

That was the first time allegations came out. Allegations about drugging and raping girls, okay? So why did they not investigate Brunel for a decade after decade? Epstein is part of Iran country in the 1980s. You don't investigate Epstein for decade after decade. Then finally, Brunel is gonna give everyone. Rummer and everybody else does things, he doesn't give it. Three million dollars, he doesn't give evidence.

But then he's worried he's gonna get arrested. But magically, the charges go away and the Americans never arrest them. Our government is so obviously compromised. And then finally, on the amazing facts, the hanged in prison. I mean, okay, really? I mean, really, if you're a mainstream media reporter, you think that Epstein, with all the guards away, the video camera not working, He has three broken bones in his neck. Legendary pathologist who was there, actually for the Epstein estate, said he's never seen

a suicide with two broken parts of a neck, let alone three, like unprecedented. This is Epstein's alleged suicide? Yeah. You know that they've never identified a noose? No, no, it's worse than that. They had a noose in the cell, but it wasn't a noose that was used. And their noose that was used, they lost. Oh, come on.

And on top of that, Brunel finally gets arrested after Epstein dies. They bring him in, why'd they bring him in? So they could kill him. So they could kill him in prison. Allegedly. Allegedly, right? Come on. I believe that as the actual outcome than anything else that we're gonna hear from our government.

So who's killing these guys in prison? Because if this is just sex, oh, they were just pedophiles, they were just random, right? Who's killing them in prison? No, it's so obviously intelligence and super obvious that it's Massad working with the CIA. Same thing. The CIA is not our, it does not work for America. The CIA, this is more indisputable than the fact that Epstein is with Mossad. Epstein has 100 connections, sell cyber weapons for Israel on and on.

But the CIA unquestionably blocked these investigations. So our CIA is totally compromised and might be working for a different government. It's super scary. Okay, we gotta move on. There is other news. Other things are happening in the country and around the world. So I wanted to kind of touch base on the outcome of Trump's Liberation Day tariffs. I hear that they've been going real well.

So let's give you the details. The New York Federal Reserve claims 90% of the tariff burden is being shouldered by US firms and consumers. But the White House disagrees. I mean, the paper is an embarrassment. It's, I think, the worst paper. I've ever seen in the history of the Federal Reserve system, the people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined because what they've done is they've put out a conclusion which has created a lot of news that's highly partisan based on analysis that wouldn't be

accepted in a first semester econ class. Well, the gentleman who just suggested that the researchers who are providing accurate information about the consequences of Trump's trade policies is Kevin Hassett. He is the top economic advisor to President Donald Trump. And as we have learned, you are not to criticize any of the terrible policies that have been implemented by President Trump. You're just supposed to give him his flowers and applaud him, even as Americans are suffering economically. And to be sure, Americans are suffering economically and Trump's tariffs have a lot to do with it. Now before we get to the details on that, Jank, I don't know, maybe I'm being hysterical here.

Maybe I'm incorrect. You know, here's the interesting part about this story. The business community is not going to like this. So Donald Trump is controlled in like 98% of the time, especially when it comes to foreign policy. But the tariffs are purely his idea. And this whole idea of anyone who speaks against Donald Trump must be disciplined is his idea. So that's the 2% he's in charge of. And the business community despises it.

So my guess is they will counter attack. We'll talk about that later. So the researchers, the independent researchers that Hassett wants to potentially punish, happened to be over at the New York Fed. Okay, so the New York Fed, you know, they love to put inaccurate information out there about the economy, I guess. I don't know how that helps their cause, but okay. Now according to their study, the study by the New York Fed, that Kevin Hassett is so up in arms about over the course of 2025, the average tariff rate on the US imports increased from 2.6

to 13%. That's pretty significant. A tariff is a tax, okay? And that tax is implemented on imports, meaning companies in the United States that are importing products that are manufactured or made abroad have to pay that tariff. They have to pay that tax. Now, sometimes, sometimes Sometimes they will just eat that tax on their own because they don't want to raise prices, knowing that that could hurt sales. But in a lot of cases, companies decide to pass on those costs related to the tariff, the tax to consumers. So we all know how this works, right?

Except for HASTID apparently, or at least he's pretending to be dumb. So when the researchers looked into who was bearing the cost of the tariffs, here's what they found. US companies and consumers absorb nearly 90% of the economic burden imposed by tariffs in 2025. But has it disputed that finding? Because he's got to, you know, compliment and protect Daddy Trump. So he argues that U.S. consumers are actually better off as a result of the tariffs. He claimed that the Fed failed to account for changes in import volumes and higher wages for U.S. workers. So the basic theory of President Trump's tariffs is that there are sure we're importing stuff from China,

but we got producers in the U.S. that make the same stuff, maybe at a slightly higher price. If we bring the stuff home, create the demand at home, then that will hurt China and drive up wages of the U.S. And American consumers will be better off. So what have we seen? Prices have gone down. Inflation is down over time. import prices dropped a lot in the first half of the year and then leveled off. And real wages were up $1,400 on average last year, which means that consumers were made better off by the tariffs.

And so consumers couldn't have been made better off by the tariffs if this New York Fed analysis was correct. It's really just an embarrassment. I can't imagine who signed off on it, frankly. I got to say, I mean, you got to give the Trump administration some credit because suddenly you're seeing pro-tariff commentary on CNBC, which you never did. expected, right? But no, we lost manufacturing jobs last year. We lost manufacturing jobs last year. Like the whole sell, the pitch that Trump made to the American people in regard to these tariffs was, yeah, there's gonna be a little bit of pain in the short term, but we're bringing manufacturing back, baby, except we didn't. We lost manufacturing jobs in 2025. And in fact,

the Bureau of Labor Statistics had to do a revision when it came to the jobs numbers from last year, 2025. You know, the first year Trump implemented his tariffs, and they had to revise the jobs numbers down by nearly a million jobs. So he's just straight up lying to our faces here. And look, the Federal Reserve of New York is not the only institution that has found that these tariffs disproportionately impacted American companies and consumers. Here's CNBC's Steve Leesman responding to HACS, claims that the New York Fed study wouldn't even be good enough for a first semester econ class. More than the first semester econ class, the report was an extension of the methods

the researchers used in a peer reviewed paper based on Trump's 2018 tariffs. In fact, there were seven papers that came to a similar Keele Institute says 96% paid by domestic entities, Yale Budget Lab 96, an NBER paper said 94%. Goldman Sachs said 88%. The New York Fed researchers appear to have done exactly what has it accused them of not doing. Take into account how tariffs change import volumes. They did find the share borne by exporters increased slightly over time, which is good news

as importers rearranged some supply lines. So this isn't the first time that the Trump administration have demanded consequences over studies they didn't like. If you guys can remember, in August, Trump called on Goldman Sachs to replace its top economist after the bank concluded that US firms and consumers would bear the cost of the tariffs. Trump also fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn't like the the jobs report that they put out.

And Trump has attempted to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook, while the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into chair of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell. Jank, back to you. Yeah, so I'm not gonna debate the tariffs. At this point, it's obvious. And it's obvious not because tariffs are always bad, but because of the maniacal way that he did it.

For example, he was someone to the former Prime Minister of Switzerland. And at that point, he'd cranked up the tariffs of 30%, which is crazy. So she's trying to talk to. him out of it and lower it. And he says after the call, I didn't really like the way she talked. So instead of decreasing the tariffs, he increased them to 39%. Oh my God.

Because she hurt his feelings. That is so deeply irrational. I don't have to make an argument against it. Authoritarians tend to be very sensitive, I've noticed. Yeah, 100%. I mean, that's part of the reason they become authoritarian. They're desperate to have power over people because they think, like, I don't want to get into the psychology of it, but if you're a confident person, you don't need to oppress

others to go about your business, right? So okay, now let's get to what's going to happen afterwards. So in his first term, I said, after he passes the giant tax cuts for the rich and for corporations, they'll be done with him, and that's when all the aggressive attacks in the media will start. And let's be honest, that's exactly what happened, right? And you can go back and look at the timing, you can go back and look at me saying that. And then all of a sudden, the Russia stuff came out, the impeachment stuff came out, et cetera. So in this case, he already did the giant tax cuts for the rich. So I was wondering why the press hasn't fully turned on him yet, right?

They're still giving him those money for the fake lawsuits, they're still playing nice with them, et cetera. And now I think it's because he hasn't started the war with Iran yet. And so let's see if I'm right, my guess is, and that's why I say it ahead of time, after He starts with the war with Iran and it becomes clear enough that we can't get out, it's intractable, then that's it. Mission accomplished, they wanted the giant tax cuts in the war with Iran, so then the press will turn on him, and then they'll start to talk about the tariffs more and about how he

destroyed their economy, they'll bring up impeachment again, they'll go to X, Y, and Z. It's not that he doesn't deserve to be impeached for whatever, you know, and I don't want to get into that, but like he's done a thousand things wrong. But it's the timing that's curious. Yeah, definitely. But look, to be fair, Jank, he has been, he's been taking jabs in regard to the tariffs in mainstream media. Yeah, and why is he taking jabs on the tariffs?

Yeah. Because that's the one thing that has not been approved by the donor class. No, the donor class despises the tariffs. Exactly. Yeah, no, 100%. Guys, I have to give you this amazing statistic that our producer Kate Patino found. So the tariffs have effectively been one of the large, tax increases on Americans since 1993.

So let me give you the detail. So Trump's tariffs equated to a tax increase of $1,000 per household in 2025. And that's according to a February 6th report from the nonpartisan tax foundation. Households are expected to pay an additional $1,300 in 2026. That makes Trump's tariffs the largest U.S. tax increase. as a percent of GDP since 1993. And they are of course regressive. So if you make $50,000 a year, that extra $1,000 is devastating.

Absolutely. If you make $5 million a year, it's irrelevant. $1,000, who cares, right? So it greatly punishes us. So later you will see, if I'm right, the bottom's gonna fall out, right? And then they're gonna blame Trump for the round war which he should get every, piece of blamed war, but they're never going to mention Israel and the people who actually started the war. They'll blame him for the AI collapse. Again, he is totally unprepared for that.

The point isn't that he doesn't deserve blame for those things. The point is the timing, right? And then they will go back and they'll, I guarantee you, I know business people, they're furious at what that government official just said. And the reason they're furious about it is they need these type of reports to know what's coming up next. Information is vital on the stock market. If they have the wrong information, they'll make the wrong investment decision. So hear me now, quote me later. Later when the entire business community has turned on Donald Trump, they'll come back and said, they'll say one of the critical things was when he fired the guy who was in charge of the jobs reports, right? And they'll come back and say, well, we didn't

know if the economy was going up or down because you fired the guy who was telling us how, what the status of the jobs is, right? But right now, they still want things from Donald Trump. So everything is relatively copacetic. They don't like these tariffs. That's why you'll see the jabs on the tariffs, but they're still letting him run. Later they'll turn on him with a fury and blame everything on him when they asked for a lot of these things. Well, Jake, you and I've been doing this for a long time together, about 20 years.

I've been working with you. And I've noticed a pattern when it comes to stories that get recycled year after year. And they're typically culture war stories meant to divide Americans. and lead to all sorts of nonsense controversy. When we come back, I'll show you the latest example of that. I have concepts of a plan. I just do it. All right, back on TYT, so many comments.

I can't possibly get to all of them, but YouTube members. Let's start with Renee Marie Anderson Glenn. They say, I can't afford food and he's buying more warplanes. Yep. Chris Main says, I wish you were in the press conference in the White House to ask those basic questions that needed to be answered. What's the benefit of going to war for the American people? Yes. So Chris, of course, our issue is since we haven't sold out, we don't get $540 million like Turning Point USA did. Tons of free money like Prager U and Daily Wire, et cetera.

So we can't even afford a White House correspondent. We could get one and that would be amazing and they would ask amazing questions, but we can't afford. So if you can, guys join up. TYT.com slash join. We will take donations there. You can get annual membership with a couple months off there, but that's our real situation. Ivy Soul says, yay, finally made the live.

OG Burning writes in, remember the USS Liberty.

You know guys, it's a funny thing. When I earlier when I had heard about the USS Liberty, I thought it was a conspiracy theory. I thought it had not actually been attacked because every time it was mentioned in any passing way in national media, it was said there was an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. So I didn't even bother looking into it. Then I look into it. I'm like, wait, it did happen. Yeah, it did happen. And Israel did bomb our ship and they did kill 34 Americans and injured over 100.

Yep. And we didn't have any consequences for them. We said, thank you, sir. May we have another? I think they paid some money to the family members of the victims, allegedly. But don't quote me on that because that's what Ben Shapiro claims. And he very likely could be lying about that, yeah. Yeah, he's a giant liar.

And he's totally his first. But I don't know, he could be telling the truth. Anyways, it's not enough. It doesn't matter, they killed them, like they killed our people. Like that's what matters. Imagine what would happen if Iran attacked one of our ships and killed three. In fact, you don't have to imagine, it'll probably happen soon after we attack them. And then they'll cry bloody murder over it, right?

But USS Liberty, they're like, shut up. That's Israel, they're above you and you're below them, so you take it in, and otherwise you're all anti-Semites. Tom Terrific 3 says, if Greater Israel is a religious project, then isn't it violating the Constitution by supporting it. Look, they did pay $12 million in compensation. Oh, okay, wow, that sounds amazing. And then we gave them $300 billion, and they thought, ah, idiots, we give you $12 million

for this thing, we get to murder your citizens whenever you want, and then you give us $300 billion anyway. By the way, they've murdered nine Americans in the last three years. There's been no accountability at all. They literally can murder American citizens and get away with it. It's a very literal. 12 million, not billion. 12 million, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's a joke. Timi D says J.D. Vance claimed Iran wants nuclear weapons. They're lying to get us in a war. Also embarrassing, how embarrassing is it that Trump doesn't know what he wants yet? Totally. Ed Lidavie says, took across and went to Israel to interview Huckabee and they detained him. He did the interview in the airport for his own safety.

They don't want that interview getting out. You'd be nuts to go to Israel. I mean, if you're an American, they can kill you and there's nothing that anybody can do about it. We'll be back. All right, back on TYT. I'm gonna Anna with you guys, more news. Let's talk about the Olympics, not about the athletics or how impressive the athletes are. We of course have to turn it into a culture war issue.

I don't know why we don't start vetting these Olympians before they actually start to represent us overseas for their patriotism. My friend at the Federalist, Sean Davis, who wrote this art, not Sean Fleetwood, he wrote this great article. You said the patriotic thing to do is actually to root against these unpatriotic Olympians, Because they're going out bashing us, why should we, why should we cheer for them? Why should we want them to win? Yeah, we don't do patriotism tests on our athletes who compete in the Olympics because we don't live in North Korea or China or any, well, we're not supposed to live in under authoritarian regime. So like, the Olympics are about whether you qualify and whether you're competitive, doing patriotism tests on people,

is not the type of thing I would want in the country I live in. But, Jank, I don't know, maybe I'm crazy. What do you think? I think that they start these cultural wars to distract you and don't fall for it. Later, I'm going to go on a rant. That'll be fun about Bad Bunny and Kid Rock and these athletes and what the whole point of this is. And we'll talk about the people who are primarily responsible for starting the culture wars. So the 2026 Winter Olympics kicked off in Milan.

I really wish I were there right now. But nonetheless, it kicked off earlier this month. And multiple U.S. athletes have used this international platform, you know, to air some of their discomfort in representing the United States, considering some of what the U.S. government has been involved in recently. For example, Hunter Hess, a freestyle skater, I'm sorry, skier from Bend, Oregon told reporters in a recent press conference, it brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now. I think it's a little hard. There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren't.

Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the United States. I think for me, it's more I'm representing my like friends and family back home. The people that represented it before me, all the things that I believe are good about the United States. I just think if it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it. Okay, so let me just pause for a second. Whenever I talk about how much I love this country, how much I love the United States, I'm specifically talking about what this country's constitution represents, and more importantly, I'm talking about the people of the United States.

I think this is the best country. I think we do have the best people. I don't think our government has been, you know, fully represented, representative of the best interests of the people of the United States for a long time, to be quite frank. So I hear what he's saying. He's kind of like equating, loving the United States with having to love our government. I don't think you have to love our government.

I think our government is supposed to be accountable to us and they haven't been for a really long time. And so anyway, that's my my response to this. this, but notice like I'm not like losing my mind about it because ultimately I don't really care what anyone thinks in the Olympics, right? I'm not gonna let it get under my skin, but for whatever reason, conservatives seem to like lose their minds over this kind of stuff on a regular basis. Yeah, so look, first as always were fair, so I remember when sometimes athletes were criticized Obama and people would go nuts.

Who cares? And yeah, like, he can't say that about Obama. Yeah, you can. So what? Well, what difference does it make? And so same thing is true, Trump, et cetera. During the lead up to the Iraq war and afterwards, were we supposed to say, oh yeah, I'm super proud of Dick Cheney and how we started this war for no reason, and now we're torturing

people and wiretapping our own citizens? No, no, you don't have to be proud of every single thing the US government has done. All governments do terrible things, right? So it's perfectly fine. I mean, look, real quick, I'll just say this, and then later I want to talk about who's starting these conflicts. But, like, okay, so you don't like Bad Bunny's music. By the way, I'm not that into Bad Money's music either. But anyway, so what?

Kid Rock, oh, he's totally for Trump. So what? Why do I care? I don't care at all. And so if they're for or against Trump or whatever, I just can't find a way to care. And I think that the reason people care so much is because there's an entire complex. Cottage industry. Yeah, a culture war complex that is trying to get you to hate each other by emphasizing

these issues. I mean, this woman who's like talking about, oh, we should, we should test their patriotism before they're allowed to compete in the Olympics. Do you want us to print out a massive photo of Trump and hang it up in our living rooms and then have government censors come and make sure that we have it in our living rooms? that we pray to it every night? And how do we, like, what is that? Hold on, hold on.

How do we test patriotism? So, for example, if I tested Donald Trump, Donald Trump said after he lost the election in 2020 that we should terminate the Constitution. That's the least patriotic thing I have ever heard. So that said he can't compete. And what else do it? He can't be present?

I don't know. I mean, who's testing the patriotism? And what does it mean to be a patriot? Is it patriotic to risk the lives of our soldiers in order to fight a war on behalf of a foreign country? Is that patriotism? Just curious. Yeah, because that's what we're about to do in Iran brought to you by Israel. I don't want to touch on that in the Olympics.

I've been working for this show for in April, it's gonna be 19 years actually. And 19 years straight of the same recycled BS story. And it comes up every few months. It's like, oh my God, aren't you so mad at these athletes because they have political opinions and they're airing them? No, I'm not upset. In fact, if I don't like their political opinions, I just changed the channel and move on with my life. And Rodgers is a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers now. I love the Steelers.

I don't care what Aaron Rogers opinions are. And I know people get really upset about that. No, you have to hate Aaron Rogers. Do you know what he said during COVID? I don't care. Throw the goddamn ball, okay? And if you, if he won us a Super Bowl, I'd love him forever. Oh, you can't love him.

He's terrible. By the way, my friends say it. Guys, let it go. It's sports. Meanwhile, by the way, I'll throw this in real quick. Swiss announcer is covering the bobsled is really to. The Israeli team comes in. He explains, this is weird, I don't know why they're allowed to compete on their own flag,

because the Russians were banned competing under their flag because of what Russia did in starting a war and taking political actions. And they're like, well, Israel started a war, and these guys, one of the bombside guys was deeply political. And in fact, he insulted the Palestinians when he first came in, made fun of free Palestine, was in favor of genocide. So he's like, why aren't the rules being applied to him in the way that they were for the Russians? And then he mentioned a French example.

You know what they did? The Israelis complained and they removed that segment from on air. Why are the Israelis controlling everyone's media, everyone's government? No, what the guy said was perfectly fair. See, that's an interesting political issue that's about the Olympics. And what you're allowed to say about the Olympics or not, that gets to do. if it's not a First Amendment issue because it's international, but the concept of freedom of speech, etc. But okay, what does Randall Bob think? Who cares? But again, Anna, you got more before I

know. I don't have more because I'm already annoyed with the story. It's a non-story. Okay, they have political opinions. And look, I also get the context of it's the Olympics, they're representing the United States. But I would venture to say they're in this international setting with athletes from all around the world. And it doesn't feel good to be an American knowing how much our country at this moment is alienated from the rest of the world because we keep launching wars. We, I mean, we just like we kidnap the leader of Venezuela so we could take their oil. So they probably feel this pressure to distance themselves from the government because our government

through their foreign policy has been victimizing various countries. So you get what I'm saying? I remember during the Bush era, it was the first time I had ever traveled out of the country. This is in 07. Everyone in our tour group, mostly Australians and South Africans, were openly hateful toward me and my best friend. I traveled with my best friend. They kept playing that song, American Idiot by Green Day. It was bad.

And obviously, I was highly critical of the Bush administration. I felt like I needed to air that so people would stop harassing us. I'm not saying that's what's happening to these athletes, but can we at least acknowledge when our government is acting in a belligerent manner, when they are literally going out of their way to use our military assets to steal natural resources from sovereign countries, it's just not a good look for these athletes who are again on the international stage competing against athletes from other countries. So lastly, I promise you where it comes from.

Look, historically Fox News. So they're the, remember Bill O'Reilly started the war on Christmas? He demanded, he thought it was hateful to say happy holidays. I mean, that is stretching and stretching and stretching to try to find some sort of thing that's going to divide us, right? Divide us based on religion, race, et cetera. And now who's the king of starting the culture wars? Daily Wire.

Every single day, daily wires like trans this and black that and hate these people and hate that people. Because why? They don't want you to look up. If you're divided and you think that all of your problems are caused by the person on your or the person on your right, you'll fight them instead of fighting the donor class and the people who control our government. That's why you get the steady stream of culture wars through the media so that you're distracted

and don't realize who's actually running the country. Random Olympic athletes are not running the country. Random left wingers or right wingers are not running the country. The donor classes. Finally, the Israeli bobsled team came in 26th out of 26. Nice. And then when people pointed that out, they're like, like, no, you don't understand our sport. We did great. I just, I. Okay, is in your sport,

is it great to come in last? All right, we'll be back with Pierce Morgan versus Randy Fine. Come right back. To members on t.com. Impeach for pieces, how much will this deployment cost us? Even if they don't go to war, tens of millions, hundreds of millions more. I read about how much of it, Like one of our actions cost that I don't remember now. I'll look it up, that's a great question, but my guess is that it might be in the billions. Like it's everything involving the military is enormously expensive. And we're moving a giant percentage of our fleet over there. So that's a great point.

Melend Falas says, Anna, you're almost correct. Israel was a failed state, wants a failed state in Iran, and every future greater Israel territory. Yep. The fact that our press doesn't talk about greater Israel. Another joke. They, their leaders, their cabinet talks about how they're going to annihilate their neighbors so they can set up greater Israel because they think it's their land.

That's what Nazis said. The Nazis were like Sudeten land, Czech, Poland, and so that's our land. And we're going to kill anybody that's in our way and take that land. That's what Israel's saying now. But you're not allowed to say it. You're not allowed to say it. Okay, good, good. Shut up and never give anybody the truth.

And then by the end, like I said, the entire country will watch honest shows. Little Mac McChie, I'm in full agreement with you, Jing. I think Stephen Miller's the shadow president in many ways, not even with Trump's blessing. I think he just does stuff without even asking and Trump has no clue. I think that is also true. Trump doesn't have any clue about anything that's going on. He's watching TV like a child. Corden Biggie says, Jenk, you said a bad word about an orifice.

I did, Gordon, you're right, you caught me. Pseudo dragon says Charles, King Charles hates his brother. I'm certain that the moment he took the throne, he was looking for excuses to cut him loose. Yeah, so Queen Elizabeth, that was her name, right? Yeah, Queen Elizabeth seemed to like favor Andrew. I don't know why, but like. Charles is not, doesn't seem like a very likable guy. You know, I gotta say like the way that she expressed love, which was kind of cold, not good, very bad.

Yeah, yeah, I think the royal family is issues on that, but I don't care. I'm a damn lib says Les Wexner seems comfortable being an obvious liar or the dumbest man on the planet, plus those questions liked any punch at all. And Norfolk in a way dragon says, I think about this show, I watch this too much. There is no too much, you crazy. No, there is no too much. Metal Turtle, thank you for gifting a sub on Twitch. We appreciate you. On super chat, Michael Cotavelli says, I think the FBI doc that says Cushner, the brains may have

some validity. Miller runs domestic, Rubio, foreign, but Kushner has no official role is somehow always in the room when it comes to foreign affairs. So Michael, that's a good point too. Look, I think that there's one thing we know, which is that Trump is not in charge, right? And he's like a little child that they bat around. They're like, Donnie, go this way, go this way. you'll be so tough, you everybody, you'll get to control the whole Western

hemisphere if you attack Venezuela. He's like, oh really? Well people like well I'll be stronger. Right? So they're just like batting them around the White House. Elliot ZP says I think that their plan is to take out the defenses that empower the Kurds to occupy Western Iran and cut off the oil rich parts of the southwest. One week central government internal conflict away from capital. That's an interesting theory. Elliot, don't know much about it, but that's, I'm glad you share that with us. And I am out of time.

Damn it. All right, we'll be back. Back on TYT, Janganana with you guys. And Gonja Cat. First of all, Gondja Cat, your handle's awesome. Second of all, thank you for upgrading through the join button. You're fantastic. We definitely need that.

So I appreciate anybody who could do that. So either the join button below or t.com slash join. That's deeply appreciated as well. All right. Casper, what's next? This is next. It takes quite something to unite Gavin Newsom. and Megan Kelly.

And what it was was what you posted on X. The reason it enraged people so much was just so brazenly bigoted. You made no attempt to even hide it. Turns out everyone hates Congressman Randy Fine, and I will allow it. Now, he made an appearance on Pierce Morgan's show, where they had a bit of a debate about the fact that Randy Fine is openly hateful against Muslims. Now, what spurred this discussion was this post by Congressman Fine on X. He says, if they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.

Now, what sparked to that disgusting commentary? Well, he was apparently triggered by a satirical post on X by a woman who actually dedicates her life to fighting for Palestinians. I suspect that's the reason why he was actually triggered. Nardine Kiswani had said, finally, New York City is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we've said all along, they are unclean. So he's pretending like she was being serious about banning dogs or something in New York City of all places to justify his disgusting disgraceful post where he's saying that he would

choose dogs over Muslims. Okay, great. Now, Morgan gave a fine hypothetical scenario, right? What if someone wrote a similar post but switched out Muslim for Jews? Let's see how he answered. If somebody posted, if they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Jews is not a difficult one. That's a great question. Absolutely, yes. But the difference here is that Jews are not asking people to give up their dogs.

Jews don't eat pork, but we don't tell people that they can't sell it. One of the things that people are learning through all of this is this dislike of dogs is not unique. This is a mainstream Islamic view. And I'm not criticizing it. Different religions like different animals. Hindus worship cows. Good for them.

Muslims don't like dogs. That's okay. I'm not criticizing that. But they are the ones asking us to submit to their faith. And that's not okay in the United States of America. So Jake, your two cents. Was that convincing? No, I'm going to go beyond two cents here.

Okay, so of course, as soon as I saw the Randy Fine thing, I said the same thing. Pierce Morgan just asked him. What if you replaced it with Jews, right? And what's amazing about Randy Fine? He's like, no, that would be unacceptable if you said it about Jews. And he's like, oh, I have a reason why I'm allowed to say it about Muslims. No, you don't.

So first of all, this whole thing about dogs is I think a misnomer. So yes, some Muslims feel that dogs are not clean like pigs are not clean and Jews also believe that pigs are not clean but not dogs. Why we saw it since some hadith or something, right? Is that it? She wasn't being serious. Okay, who cares? Who cares?

She wasn't being, my parents think dogs are unclean. You want to know what happened? I brought a puppy home and my parents fell in love. Like what do we? We're not having a real conversation right now about Muslims trying to ban dogs in the United United States of America. Yeah, when she says finally New York City is coming to Islam, she's joking, right? New York City is not coming to Islam and it's all becoming Muslims, etc.

Nobody's banning dogs. The point I'm making Anna is that position, like they make it seem like it's universal. All Muslims hate dogs. I know tons of Muslims have dogs. It's not like that's a minority position by held by some, let alone the fact that it's not being enforced in America, that's absurd, right? So he just wanted an excuse to attack Muslims again. And it's not like Randy Fine is unclear about this.

He said we should kill everyone in Gaza. He said it twice. He said we should use nukes. He said we should nuke them and kill them all or starve them all to death, right? So this is a genocidal monster and he's like constant anti-Muslim attacks. And of course the minute you criticize Israel a little bit, his fat ass will cry all day about anti-Semitism. Let me just say something and be very clear about it.

If the Middle East were dominated by Christian majority countries, all of the propaganda we hear about Muslims would be replaced with anti-Christian propaganda. I guarantee it, I guarantee it. If you know, so when the Zionists were trying to pick a place for land that they were going to take from the lo, whichever the locals were, they considered a place, they consider Uganda, Palestine, and Argentina. If they had set up Israel inside Argentina right now, in our entire lives, we would have heard about South American terrorists.

The real problem is that the South Americans, by their nature, are terrorists and violent and savages, and we just, you can't deal with them. You just have to kill them and take their land, right? That's the propaganda. We would have hurt our entire lives. We would have never talked about Muslims. All we would have talked about is South Americans, they're the real. No problem.

By the way, we don't even have to do these like thought experiments. Think about how our fellow Americans are treated if they push back against US policy that doesn't prioritize Americans and prioritizes Israel instead. Yeah, they're called anti-Semites. They're smeared, their lives are destroyed, they're fired from their jobs. So just think about the propaganda and where it comes from. So let's go to the next one, because after some back and forth, Morgan got to the point. He just straight up asked, Randy Fine, are you just the type of person who just hates Muslims?

Is that what this is really about? I think the answer is already obvious, but let's hear what Randy Fine has to say. Do you basically just hate Muslims? Not at all, not in the least. I like radical Muslims. So there are Muslims who want to live in peace with us. Not every Muslim wants to take our dog away. Many come to America for freedom and opportunity.

And I think that is fantastic. But I have seen the most horrific things. October 7th radicalized me. Watching on October 7th, Muslims in Tampa, Florida, have a rally celebrating while people were being killed, listening to voicemails of parents, of children, calling their parents, enjoy because they had shot and killed 10 people. I saw what aspects of this culture are capable of. That does not mean they are all like that.

that they are not. But the problem we have in the media is they categorize it as though it is this tiny, teeny, weeny fringe. It's not. It's meaningful. It's also not 100%. But it's also not 0.1%. That's interesting because the last two years radicalized me, that's for sure. Israel's Hannibal directive, where they will literally kill their own if they believe that Palestinian or I should say members of Hamas are taking them hostage. That radicalized me. The video of the IDF soldiers gang raping a Palestinian hostage in prison, that radicalized me. The story of Hind Rajab, a little five-year-old girl getting pumped with bullets by a member of the IDF as she was trapped in a vehicle full of her dead relatives.

That radicalized me. All of the lies from the Israeli government, the pressure for the US to risk the men and women in our armed forces to carry out Israel's wars, to fight their battles, that radicalized me. Realizing that our media has been bought and controlled by Zionists who lie to us, that radicalized me. So let's talk about who's being radicalized here and why that radicalization exists in the first place. Okay, so if you could make it through the voice of Hindraja, which is a new movie out by Watermelon Patriots. I can't get through it. If you can get through it, then you okay, go ahead and support Israel and you hear the six year old girl and she's like, please come get me, please come get me, please say me for hours and hours.

And then finally of course the ambulance arrives and the Israelis murder everyone in the ambulance and the six year old. Oh yeah, that's right. And they knew that she was there. They knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there was a six year old girl there and they murdered her. That's what Nazis do. Okay, so now, back to Randy Fine, it was an interesting fraudulent slip that he said there in the beginning. He said, I like radical Muslims.

There is truth in that because they used a few radical Muslims to justify killing all the Muslims and taking their land. So he's right. Israel loves radical Muslims. All you need is a couple. You just let him in. Oh, golly, gee, the great IDF could not show up for six or seven hours. Oh, by the way, there's Israeli soldiers on tape saying we got a stand down order. Okay, so yeah, Randy Fine loves radical Muslims because it allows them to steal half of Gaza.

In his case, he might have eaten it. So now when he says, look, this is not a small portion of Muslims, this is a very large portion of Muslims that are radical, right? Okay, now what if we said that about Jews? Now, not all Jews are bad, but, you know, it's not a small number. of Jews that are bad. It's a huge number of Jews that are the problem in this country. Well, your head would get taken off and rightfully so, right? That's a terrible thing to say, and it's not true. But he says it about Muslims. You just heard him say it, okay? And what a lie about, oh yeah, I saw Muslims in Florida celebrating October 7th. I don't believe a word he said. But on the

other hand, have you seen people in favor of Israel celebrating what Israel's done in Gaza? Yes. Tons and tons and tons of Israeli supporters that are celebrating that genocide. And you, I mean, guys, watch interviews from Israel, including the population. They love what they did in Gaza. So are there good people and giant numbers of good people that are Jewish overall that are against the genocide? Definitely, definitely, okay? And so, but like every accusation by a supporter of Israel is a confession, right?

So they must have enjoyed the violence because when Randy Fine was watching the slaughter of 20,000 children, he loved it. Randy Fine is a stain on this country. He is an embarrassment to what we are supposed to hold as our values as a country. He is hateful, he is just, I mean, there is no point in even having a conversation with this guy and giving him an opportunity to engage in like plausible deniability regarding his own hatred for an entire group of people. And so I just, I've got zero love for him.

I hope he gets elected out of office. He should not be representing any Americans in this country. He is an embarrassment. That's all I have to say about him. Yeah, and if you root for killing two million people, including the grandmothers and the children, You're a Nazi, and that's what Randy Fine is. Yeah, there's a Nazi inside our Congress. We should get them the hell out.

Meanwhile, they censured Ilhan Omar, because she said about lobbyists, it's all about the Benjamins. Yeah. They made a national story out of that congressional hearings and censure. And Randy Fine has been saying slaughter all the Muslims for year after year, and nobody does anything. So, gee, I, is, are we in danger of a Muslim takeover? or as a different country taken over already.

All right, we're going to change it up completely when we come back. We didn't do Operation Joy on Tuesday, so we're going to bring it back for Thursday. So everybody's going to get to see it. And then afterwards, I'm going to interview the head of our revolution. So all right, so come right back.
