Drop it like it's Gailene Maxwell transcript All right, huge power panel, huge newsday for you guys. Jank Uger, John Iderola, Waz Zay-Lambre, Waz is of course at the ringer and the host of Waz speaks and John's, of course, the host of damage report. All right, guys, about as much as news as you could possibly have on a Friday or any day, John Bolton's house has been raided by the FBI, is it political? 55 million peoples are going to have their visas check to see if they are sufficiently pro-Israel. Speaking of Israel, famine has been declared.

There's an amazing video of a Holocaust survivor calling out Israel that you've got to see in today's show. Galane Maxwell transcript from her discussion with Donald Trump's personal lawyer, now turned government official, is out. What does that say? Has anybody been incriminated? Well, don't get too excited. All right. So tons of stuff to get to, John, take it away. Yeah. The only thing I would add to that is personal lawyer turned government official who's still functioning as a personal lawyer typically. But anyway, we'll talk about that more later. Why don't we talk about John Bolton to start off with this? Look at this. FBI agents raiding the Maryland home of former Trump National Security Advisor John Baldwin. I know nothing about it. I just saw it this morning. They did a raid.

Do you expect the DOJ to brief people on this? Yeah, they'll be, they'll brief me probably today sometime. And the former minister, I don't want to, I tell Pam and I tell the group, I don't want to know about it. You have to do what you have to do. I don't want to know about it. It's not necessary. I could know about it. I could be the one starting it. I'm actually the chief law enforcement officer. But I feel that it's better at this one. Yeah, yeah, he didn't have to know. He could know.

He did know this is his idea. That's why they did it. He totally knew. But yeah, John Bolton has now been raided. It's part of a national security investigation in search of classified records, which is now a legitimate thing to do. It was not before he was sworn in. Then it was partisan and illegal.

But now classified records are very important. And I think the hunt for classified records very important. If that if it turns out that John Bolton has been hiding those pesky Epstein documents we can't get released, then yes, I think they should hunt them down and release them. But anyway, we've known for a long time that Donald Trump is not a big fan of John Bolton. He's his former advisor on national security specifically. And so because Bolton has spent the past couple of years criticizing Donald Trump, not only in books, but even recently with the back and forth with both Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, Bolton has been very critical of him. This seems like it could well be a personal thing. Not to say that Bolton doesn't have classified documents.

There have been prior attempts at legal processes to try to figure that out. But we want to catch you all up on what's been going on. What different what different people think is the motivation for this. And we should start first with the DOJ formerly having investigated him. There had been a legal attempt to stop the publication of a memoir that he published. And or if they couldn't stop it for publishing, at least stop him from getting money from it. That didn't end up happening previously. Back in 2021, the DOJ under the Biden administration, shut down the criminal investigation that was ongoing into John Bolton at that point. And whether

this is a sort of like partisan targeting of John Bolton, it's not the first thing that the Trump administration this time around has done in regards to John Bolton. One of the literal first acts that Donald Trump took when he was sworn in as president was to pull the security clearances from a number of former intelligence agencies, as well as taking away security details from some of those. And John Bolton was one of those. And that is significant because John Bolton has previously faced credible accusations we think that Iran might be targeting him for violence, which Donald Trump himself has faced. And so one might have thought there could be some empathy, but there was not. And so now we're trying to figure out

exactly what they were aiming to get. He hasn't been charged, at least as of right now. But J.D. Vance says that this isn't just about the classified documents that were involved in the initial reporting. What's at the root of this? Is this about classified documents? Well, again, I'll let the FBI speak to that. Classified documents are certainly part of it. But I think that there's a broad concern about Ambassador Bolton. They're going to look into it. And like I said, if there's no crime here, we're not going to prosecute it. If there is a crime here, of course, Ambassador Bolton will get his day in court. That's how it should be. But again, our focus here is on, did he break the law? Did he commit crimes against the American people?

If so, then he deserves to be prosecuted. So to be very clear, if it turns out that there was nothing there, nobody can complain because they're just curious, which is definitely, if we were to go back how J.D. Vance was talking about the raid on Donald Trump a couple of years ago. In any event, we're going to discuss in just a second, but first you should hear a little bit more of what Donald Trump had to say about John Bolton in response to the reporting of the raid. I'm not a fan of John Ball. He's a real set of a low life. When I hired him, he served a good purpose because, as you know, he was one of the people that forced push to do the ridiculous bombings in the Middle East.

He wants to kill people and he's very bad at what he does. But he worked out great for me because every time he doesn't talk, he's like a very quiet person, except on television. elevation, if you could say something bad about Trump, I'll always do that. But he really doesn't talk, he's quiet. And I'd walk into a room with him with a foreign country. And the foreign country would give me everything because they said, oh, no, they're going to get blown up because John Bolton is there. He's a, uh, not a smart guy, but he could be a very unpatriatic guy. I mean, we're going to find out. Okay, so Jank, I just want you to imagine if the FBI raids Donald Trump's home in Mar-a-Lago for classified documents and they go to Biden for reaction.

He says, well, I didn't know about it, but maybe he's unpatriotic, kind of a low life. I don't like the guy, you know, we're gonna see what happens. How do you think Fox would have responded to that? They're targeting him on purpose based on personal issues with him, that's alright guys. Okay, so A, that's how they would have responded. B, that is how they responded. Biden didn't say anything like that, and they responded that way anyway. So guys, look, if you're maga, at some point, you got to make up your mind, right?

So, oh my God, I can't believe you'd go in and see if you could find classified documents by raiding someone's home like Mar-a-Lago. And now you switch to, it's awesome when you rate someone's home to see if you could find classified documents from a government official. So which one is it? It's just, come on. But as we all know, some folks are hopeless. They're blinded by certain things and they can't see straight.

So now you got to look at what really happened here and what are the actual facts. And so there are two things that make me pause before I say it's total junk. So I'll get to those two in a second. But in terms of why I think it's true, well, Trump has said a million times how much he hates John Bolton and how he wanted to target his enemies. And he's literally, Bolton is on Cash Patel's enemies list. So like when you have an enemies list and then you try to find a crime, to get that in political enemy, well, that's just the worst thing you could do. I mean, that's a total frontal attack on our democracy and our constitutional system.

So look, they're going to, one of the reasons they're going after John Bolton first is because everyone hates him. The left hates him, the right hates him, the middle hates him, his mom hates him, okay? His mustache hates him and says, why do you have me on here and have everyone make fun of me? So, but we can't fall into that trap, guys, because it's not about John Bolton's policies, which we can't stand. It's not about John Bolton as a person that we can't say, it's about whether we're going to protect his rights. And we have to protect his rights, otherwise we're taking away everyone else's rights. So real quick, the two things that make me go, well, maybe, I mean, tiniest, tiniest amount of maybe is. They didn't get a warrant from a judge to do this.

So apparently they had a tiny amount of evidence at a minimum. And the Biden team, when they first got in, closed the investigation on Bolton. The Trump had started in his first term once Bolton left the administration. But then they reopened it. And I'm like, oh, okay. So am I willing to hear out the evidence? And if it turns out Bolton did something actually terrible, should we prosecute him? Of course, of course.

I have no love for him. I have no need to protect him. I don't want him to be above the law. I don't want him to be below the law. I want everyone to get the same kind of justice. But if you're not not super concerned about this, given all of the context, you're nuts. Like, guys, they have enemies listed. Now they're picking them off one by one.

And to me was my number one concern is I've totally lost trust in our government completely. So already it was thread bear trust to begin with. Everybody's got that black pill ready in their hands that Ann has already taken, right? But now, under the Trump administration, and nothing they do is based on the law. It appears that everything they're doing is based on politics and Donald Trump's personal grievances. So when the government says something now, back when I was younger, they used to carry some weight. Then it got less and less weighty. And now when the government says something, it's borderline Israeli, like totally disregarded, totally irrelevant. Try to somehow

I get the facts, despite the government propaganda, it's almost certainly a lot. You know what's the one dish I make? It's called spaghetti a la Janka. I take sunny side up eggs and I plop spaghetti with butter on top of it. You can mix it. So as you can see, that's a bit of a disaster. So my family wanted me to try other things. And luckily, it was Cook Unity. And they got me covered because they got professional Italian cuisine that we all love. Who doesn't love Italian? And they got award-winning chefs.

I'm just waiting for this administration to do something or put their might behind something and have there be some there there whether that be immigration and their approach to that which is just a lot of pomp and circumstance just a lot of you know basically sensationalist type of behaviors in order to get

headlines like that's just what they do the stuff with the cops and the feds in dc and like oh we're going to bring the army and the national guard to dc and they're in and look There's legitimate crime that happens in D.C., carjackings, all kinds of stuff that's happening in D.C. The most crime-riddled areas of the city where citizens will probably be like, hey, man, it'd be nice to clean some of this up. None of these federal troops are anywhere to be seen, the tariffs, which, you know, they develop a nickname for this guy, Taco Trump, where it's just like, it's all just bluster. Like, everything is just bluster. I'm waiting for these guys to announce something huge, to make a big show or something

and actually provide us with like hard evidence about why they're doing this and why it makes sense. And here's the evidence that backs it up. There's just nothing. I mean, this John Bolton thing, it's early days. You know, like you, Jack, I'll be here waiting. I like, there's no love loss between me and John Bolton. I think the guy's a scumbagued completely. He's never seen a war that he didn't like a place he didn't want to bomb, you know, an area that he didn't want to commit U.S. troops to. Like he's a complete and utter sick war monger. There's no doubt about it. But like, you know, like the rest of this stuff, I'm waiting for these people to provide something of substance. Do something meaningful once. And I'm afraid this, this won't be, you know, that

opportunity for them. And, you know, lastly what I'll say is it, and again, like with the bluster, It serves one purpose, like a singular purpose, like you can't go against Donald Trump. If you make yourself Donald Trump's enemy, that goes to all the Republicans in Congress, in the Senate, whoever you are out there, if you go get crosswise of Donald Trump, he's going to come after you with whatever this type of stuff is. Yeah. Yeah, it's not like, you know, he might tweet about me or something like we might have thought. Like, no, he'll find your university billions of dollars. He'll shut down your museum. him, he'll get your show canceled. He'll, if you're a governor of the Fed that he doesn't like,

he'll, he'll find some paperwork issue and he'll try to literally get you sent to jail to clear that spot. Like, this is a person who is doing everything the Republicans pretended to think out of control dark Brandon was doing that he would never ever do, except worse. That's what he's doing. I'd remind everyone, by the way, so it's easy to draw comparisons to what happened as I have to Donald Trump with Mar-a-Lago in this. I want to remind everyone. With Mar-a-Lago, they reached out to him multiple times to give the documents back. And he refused to. He forced their hand so hard. And now they're doing what could end up being a fishing expedition. Not necessarily again. I'll complete the um the trifecta. I don't like John Bolton either. It's until I don't

I would not be surprised if he had still in a document. I also don't think that's why they're searching his house. I don't think they'd care if he was a different person. I think they care because it's John Bolton. And I have a few other thoughts, but I want to get us to this next section. What do we do a little bit of a rewind to when John Bolton was asked a question less than two weeks ago? We're about to talk about Trump's retribution campaign. We're seeing at the FBI and the Justice Department. You're obviously on his enemies list, at least Cash Patel's enemies list. Are you worried that they're going to come after you in some way? I mean, he's hinted at it before. Well, I think he's already come after me and several others in withdrawing the protection that we had

for the Iranians for the attack on Qasem Soleimani. So I think, and I said in the new forward to the paperback edition of my book, I think it is a retribution presidency. And I think that's as clear as it could possibly be. By the way, he mentioned Iran there. And one extra bit of irony that I just think is so funny about this is that Donald Trump points out that John Bolton was a bad advisor because he was a war monger, which he definitely is. He was always pushing for war. And I just remember maybe you do too, the number of times that Donald Trump specifically complained about how John Bolton was encouraging him to go to war with Iran.

And then of course he ended up doing the exact same thing. I don't know, maybe Beebe delivers the message better, maybe he gives Trump the bedroom eyes. I don't know why it was so much more convincing coming out of Netanyahu's mouth than it was John Bolton. But I guess John Bolton got the war he wanted eventually. In any event, in response to the raid FBI director Cash Patel, one of the weirdest phrases of the English language. He had to say this, no one is above the law, FBI agents on mission. And I just think I've been too critical of the right. I often say that they can't do comedy, but that was pretty good. I think that's pretty funny. I like topical humor. No one's above the law. Obviously the

Supreme Court has told us that Donald Trump is above the law we know from the last year to, he's above the law. And isn't it funny in response to this and everything else Donald Trump is doing to target his political opponents to think about how Joe Biden was like, just like ringing his hands like, oh, Donald Trump definitely committed crimes, but Amerik, don't move too fast. Give it a couple years, just think about it as they talk about him weaponizing the justice system. And now it's just as literal, it's his, it's his personal lawyers. And Jank, I'll throw it to you. No one is above the law. Haven't you guys been covering that story of that Israeli cybersecurity official? Kind of feel like he's above the law.

Yeah, so look, Trump says that he should be above the law. I think, They made that argument in front of the Supreme Court and they won that argument. So I guess that's that on the argument overall. Second of all to John's point, almost every Israeli is above the law because we've caught tons of Israeli spies and normally you'd get a huge sentence, sometimes a life sentence for being a spy. We just give them right back to Israel, congratulations, do it again, no problem, sorry, sorry, I wish we hadn't caught him, okay, and then we caught this pedophile in Las Vegas.

And because he's the Israeli government official, just let him go and he's gone. So he's above the law. So any accountability for Israel? I mean, Netanyahu obviously above the law. You can do anything you want, he is the law here. So whenever anybody who's rich and powerful says no one's above the law, I always find it to be a joke overall, let alone those egregious cases.

Now in the case of John Bolton, one more thing that you should know. They're like, oh, he put some things in his book that might have been classified. When there's dispute about whether they were classified, okay, yes. But before you publish a book, you're supposed to ask, hey, is it okay to publish these details? And the government either gives you clearance or they don't, right? In this case, so you're perfectly understand the facts at play here, they gave him permission. And he printed the book. And then after the book was printed, they're like, the Trump people are taking back some of the permission.

And we now think retroactively that they were classified. So you know how Trump says it's okay, he could steal any classified documents he likes him, put him in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom, and God knows, does whatever he wants with him after the president ceases, because I laser-eyed them. If I laser-eye them, they become unclassified. I guess he laser-eyed Bolton's documents and made them reclassified. But no, in a normal, decent, rational justice system, you don't tell a guy, yeah, it's legal. You go ahead and do it.

And then after he does it, go, yeah, just kidding. Now I'm going to put you in prison for it. That's not how our system works. Was it anything else? I got nothing more to add. Again, this is just keeping with, excuse me, Trump's intimidation tactics. And, you know, it's obviously quite effective when people are like, hey, how come no Republicans have a spine? How come like they're willing to twist themselves into knots, you know, defending.

the inconsistencies and the incoherence of the Trump agenda, thereby making themselves look stupid in public. Like, a lot of times they're defending stuff that just three days before they were calling horrible. They just look personally stupid in public. And people say, why are Republicans in the government willing to do this? And this is a good example of why. Like, when you suck up the Trump, you get goodies. When you go against him, you get reprimanded. Yeah, I want to give you guys a poll to participate in, because This one's painful, see if you guys can do it. TYT.com, should we defend John Bolton?

A, no, I just can't, okay, and B, yes, it's important to defend his rights. And so the correct answer is winning for now, but I'm amused with the people who are like, I can't, I just can't, not with Bolton. So yeah, and at least this one's not connected to Israel because Bolton is a neocon and would do everything that is. Israel commands and they arrested him anyway. So hey, okay, at a minimum, it has nothing to do with Israel. Thank God, finally we found a story.

Wonderful. Well, I think we should probably take our first break. We come back, lots more news to get to. Yeah, we'll be right back. All right, back on TYT, Jake, John and was with you guys. John, what's next? Well, I think what's next is what everyone has been waiting to hear us comment on. It's this.

Did you ever observe President Trump receiving massage? Never. So that is a little bit of what has now been released of a former personal Trump attorney and now Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche sitting down for an interview with Geelaine Maxwell. We did not know if we were ever going to get access to the transcripts, let alone the tapes, but they have now been released. And you heard Maxwell there say, she never saw Donald Trump get one of these quote unquote massages with Epstein. And the general tenor of these revelations is that she doesn't seem to have anything negative to say of Donald

Trump, which is certainly a shocker for all of us. Now we're gonna move to the transcripts and give you all the different fun twists and turns and the spicy details. But Jenk, first of all, what did you think when you saw that they'd release this stuff? Exactly what we thought was going to happen. This is so dumb, it's just a stupid joke. It insults our intelligence. So, oh, okay, the president's former personal lawyer, now a government official, goes to talk to the top, you know, prisoner we have in the country regarding pedophilia.

and child sex trafficking, and she happens to say, you know, golly chief, first of course, she didn't do it, nobody did anything. She never set up pres andrew or anything like that. We'll get to some more details in a sec. And will you, can you believe it? Golly gee, she says the president had nothing to do with it. And then you're going to be shocked to find out right afterwards. She gets transferred to a country club prison, like the softest prison we have, which is for

someone convicted of child sex trafficking trafficking is extraordinary. Never happens. I guess these are all just a coincidence. And Galane Maxwell is such an honest person that I believe everything she says, including her saying that she's not guilty at all. And neither is Donald Trump. Okay, sure. Yeah. Useless. Isn't it ironic that all she had to do is say that he didn't get massages and now she's often a resort getting massages actually. It worked out pretty well for her. And I can't say that she's lying. We'll never know. That's what Donald Trump did by acting so outrageously suspiciously, from the very beginning of this thing to today, he has made it impossible for anyone to just

trust in a blanket way the talks with Maxwell because we know how corrupt he is. We know how he uses the pardon power. We know who Todd Blanche is. That's what Donald Trump did. And John, I'm gonna jump in, I'm gonna jump in. So look guys, I can't say that Trump definitely did it. I really, really don't know that, right? And there's evidence on both sides. But what I can say for sure is, Glenn Maxwell's lying.

She's a giant liar and a criminal and a crook and they put her in a position where she'd be rewarded for lying. So of course, one of the worst criminals we've had is going to lie and then get, and she did get rewarded. So like, no, her testimony, or in this case, not testimony, but her interview with Trump's lawyer has no value, none, zero, total trash, okay? And look, the whole point theoretically of going to have someone who is in a prosecutorial role in the Trump administration or any administration, talk to this person who was involved in the rape of over a thousand girls,

in America, is that you're supposed to get information on who to prosecute. Okay, spoiler alert, or as my daughter would say, I'm going to spoil the beans for you. Yeah, they're not going to prosecute anyone, and they didn't get any information to prosecute anyone, and it doesn't look like they even tried. So they didn't go to prosecute the criminals. They went to try to, you know, make sure the criminals got off, whether it's Trump or not in that category, certainly their number one priority was Trump is innocent, right? Trump is innocent, right? Of course he is. Great, now you get to go to a country club, okay?

And then, hey, do you want to ask who should we prosecute? Oh, I don't know. I don't know how to ask those questions. Oh, look at that. We are not going to prosecute anyone still, but we are doing investigations, and we talk to Galane Maxwell. Shut up. Todd Blanche is a loser, corrupt dirt bag. It was a bag man for Trump and is totally lying to everyone. And so is Trump and he's a giant waste of time. And he's going to protect all the criminals.

That's what Todd Blanche's job was. That's what Galane Maxwell's job is. So there's a bunch of criminals talking to each other. You're not going to give up any information, right? Neither are you, right? No, no, no. Okay, great. You get rewards.

So it's criminals talking to criminals. Useless. Yeah, pretty much the second they didn't appoint a special prosecutor to investigate this. independent to go after the facts like unabridged, uninterrupted, unimpeded by the current government and regime. We kind of just knew the fix was in. And as Jank, pretty astutely just mentioned, usually when you go towards a criminal and you want their testimony, it's because they're going to help you take down other criminals. It's not to be like, oh, can you like exonerate somebody completely right now who happens to have the power?

to lessen your sentence, send you to a more comfortable prison. Like, it's so obvious what the quid pro quo is here. There's no credibility here. And I think, you know, there are other people that love Donald Trump and they'll look for any excuse to exonerate the guy. And I'm sure this will placate them. But anybody who's looking at this in even like a semi-clear-eyed fashion knows that this is a joke.

This is a dog and pony show. It's no different than the Epstein tapes they released where it is. like, all two minutes are missing and it's not even pointed at the guy's cell and there's obviously like four other camera angles that aren't provided. This is just more of the same crap, the more of the same obfuscation. Yeah, I'm glad that you brought that up too because they initially said it was one minute and it's in there in every tape. It's just an automatic thing. And then we found out it's nearly three minutes. It's not an automatic thing. And then Then we found out nothing.

That was a month ago, five, six weeks ago, nothing, no, we're just never going to find anything more about that. I mean, but to be fair, they've been so busy releasing the Epstein files that time. There was no time to look at the tapes. Oh wait, no, they didn't do that either. Weird, it's almost as if they don't want us to realize what's actually going on. We're gonna get to more, if we could just queue up the final video, the Trump video, we're to get to more of what she said because she made a lot of bold claims.

But the tenor of our conversation has basically been how suspicious is all is. Well, Donald Trump was asked about this, about the files and everything. And his answer today, I think, was as suspicious as it's been from the very beginning. Take a look. Releasing all of them? If they wanted to release. People shouldn't be hurt, but I'm in support of keeping it totally open. I couldn't care less.

You got a lot of people that could be mentioned in those files that don't deserve to be people, because he knew everybody in Palm Beach. I don't know anything about that, but I have said to Pam and everybody else, give them everything you can give them because it's a it's a Democrat hoax. That's just a hoax. The whole Epstein thing is a Democrat hoax. So again, it's a it's a hoax, he doesn't care. I don't know anything about it, but I'm going to for the fifth time, the 10th time,

the 20th time say, well, you know, it's really important that innocent people don't get hurt. You know, because anybody could be in there. I mean, I don't want innocent people. He has expressed concern for the well-being and fate of anonymous innocent people over and over and over again, I've never heard him express any empathy for the actual victims of Epstein or for Maxwell. The victims who are even now going on TV and saying, it is spitting in our face to send her to this minimum security thing to give her this resort condition. Don't you care about us? We want to come to the Oval Office. We want to see you. Donald Trump cannot give

one crap about that. He has not met up with the victims. He has not said anything in regard of the victims, but he always has this deep concern about who might accidentally get hurt if these files were to be released, Jank, which I think is as suspicious as anything he's ever done. I'm worried about innocent people getting hurt. Wait, you're not worried about the innocent girls who already got hurt. He's saying the good people in Palm Beach Elite Society could be named there. And those poor, poor innocent people, he wouldn't want them to get hurt. Who's in the elite Palm Beach Society service?

Oh, right, Donald J. Trump and all of his buddies. So he's concerned about the elites, oh, I'm glad they didn't get hurt, I'm glad they just got to, you know, rate those girls and get away with that. Yes, yes, yes. Why don't you just say it? And John's absolutely right. I've never seen him say one thing about the girls. One thing of like, God, that's terrible, et cetera. Even when he was pretending that he wanted to Epstein files released, oh, outrageous they're not getting released. He gets an office. Don't release them. Don't release them. Then he gets his lawyer to go down there and say, all right, tell her to tell everyone that I didn't do it. Okay, he didn't do it. I want full

transparency. Yeah, I said release them all. No, your government literally said don't release any of them. We will never release any of them, and we will never prosecute any of the clients. That's what your government put out. Now you get this false testimony from one of these scumbag criminals who helped to rape those girls, and now you go, oh yeah, now I trust her. That's the criminal is correct.

And you remember, we want to protect the other criminals because we don't want anybody who's innocent among the rich and powerful, getting hurt. just because they got to have sex with those girls, you know? So that's what I'm worried about. How do you not see it, man? Look, the number one frustration I have with all politics and news these days is blindness. And blindness applies to everyone. I mean, just look at the last year, year and a half.

Democrats are like, Joe Biden's old? No, crazy. No, he's young and dynamic. Republicans are like, Trump's a criminal who's hiding something? No. He's a con man who's constantly lies. No, he's for the average guy. Are you kidding me? Let alone the people who are like, oh yeah, Israel's genocide. I don't see it. I just see anti-semitism. Everyone is blind. It's so frustrating. Was. Yeah, and I would just remind people again, and I've said this before, if the feds want to, like when they're really proud of the cases that they put together, They will do all kinds of Dateline, NBC, HBO documentaries. They will walk you through all the evidence that they collected, what they found at the guy's house.

They will literally show you everything. There's nothing stopping them from doing this. Like, for instance, you know, I'm somebody who's always watching, like, mafia stuff, right? Like Rudy Giuliani and the Eastern District of New York and their prosecution, you can watch countless and stuff on YouTube, different networks, where they're just playing you hours of tapes of these mob guys incriminating themselves. They're like showing you step by step. Here's a financial document that shows you they corrupted this union. They corrupted this thing. Like, they will literally walk you step by step of all of the evidence of the cases that they've made

and explain to you. They'll be like, look, this looked suspicious. We couldn't get them on this, but there was this thing and there was that like they do this all the time is what I'm trying to say they all they do this all the time where they show you the evidence that they have to you know basically incriminate people that they've gone after they have no problem showing this stuff so this idea like oh there's going to be innocent people oh it's all just crap it's it's just The cover up, it's nothing else. Yeah, I'll just quickly mention before we go to break because we have so many other big stories that she declared, she mentioned a few other things. She says she doesn't believe the Epstein killed himself, which I guess isn't necessarily what Trump would want the message to be out there as.

She said she didn't do anything wrong, okay. She said that Bill Clinton didn't receive any massages, which again probably isn't what Trump would have preferred her to say, admittedly. says there's no client list and Epstein did not work for an intelligence agency. Jenk, I don't know if you want to quickly respond any of those. Yeah, okay, whatever. Yeah, so dad is the biggest spy. Her dad was a spy. Was the spy? Yeah, her dad's one of the biggest spies in Israeli history. He stole America's nuclear secrets, gave it to Israel.

The fact that we didn't, you know, give him the death penalty is an absolute travesty of justice. He walked around Scott free on his goddamn yacht. bought American publishing houses, et cetera, because Israel can get away with any of you. So when she says, oh, don't worry, even though my family has a legendary history of being Israeli spies, and the Israeli prime minister came over to Epstein's house 30 times, and we had a giant map of greater Israel in the middle of Epstein's house, it has nothing to do with another intelligence agency. By the way, I don't think Epstein killed himself. Okay, yeah, all right, sure.

I'm absurd. I don't give a damn what she says at all. She's a giant liar, giant criminal. And last two things I'll say is, John, you mentioned that, you know, he's never said any kind words about the victims or any concern about the victims. He did have concern about one person involved in the case, Galane Maxwell, when asked about her, when she was first arrested, he was asked twice. First time he says, oh, yeah, she's, I'm worried about her.

She's a very fine person. And so then they ask him a second time. Because they're like, Mr. President, you just said one of the worst pedophiles in American history is a very fine person. He's like, yeah, yeah, I like her. He's a very fine person. And of course, to be fair, that's not the only thing he said positive about anybody. Before he said Jeffrey Epstein was a terrific guy. And he liked women just as much as Trump, but on the younger side.

Okay, so even if Trump didn't do anything, he knew, he definitely knew. Now he comes around and he's like, oh yeah, that thing that I was complaining about and all my fathers were complaining about for 10 years straight, it's a democratic hoax. Okay, come on, no, no, that's like a litmus test for IQ. I don't care about bias or blindness or anything. If you were a Trump loyalist who was flipping out about the Epstein files, rightfully so, by the way, see there, I'm on by the way, unbiased, I agree, you should have been flipping out. To this day, they write it like,

when I see the press writing it as a right-wing conspiracy theory that Jeffrey Epstein might not have killed himself. Shut up. That's not a conspiracy theory. The conspiracy theory is that every prison tape has three minutes missing and the hallway camera doesn't work and the guards are off on the most important prisoner of America and just trust us, bro, he killed himself. That's a conspiracy theory. So there's plenty that I agree with Trump's voters on. in this story. But if you're a Trump voter and you say, oh, no, no, no, it was the worst thing I've ever seen. And now you go and agree with Trump that it was a democratic hoax? Well, okay, I mean, you're just telling on yourself. I mean, you're saying I have 30 IQ points and I can't

put together a sentence. So yeah, I hear you. I think we should take our second break. But when we get back, famine has finally been declared in Gaza. We're gonna give you the details after this. All right back on TYT, Jank Waz and John with you guys. Also, Melody Loves Music. Thank you for joining. She had that beautiful join button below. And I'm forced to read this super chat by Edwin Baez. Jenks, robotish, stupid person voice is second to none.

Thank you, I appreciate it, Edward. All right, John, what's next? Okay, well, unfortunately, it's tragic news, but we're going to do it. It is a famine on all of our watch. Everyone owns this. The Gaza famine is the world's famine. It is a famine that asks, but what did you do? A famine that will and must haunt us all.

It is a famine that we could have prevented if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel. It is a famine within a few hundred meters of food in a fertile land. That right there that you saw is a UN official named Tom Fleck. Retcher reacting to the newly released report declaring that Gaza City is in fact officially suffering from famine. Of course, there has been every reason to believe this for a very long time, but now it's actually been affirmed by the UN. We're gonna jump at all the details. But Jank, first off, it's official now. Will this finally get through to Representative Randy Fine? Will he have to apologize for his past comments? What do you think?

No, he's a monster, of course. Look guys, it's over. I'm gonna say, something slightly controversial here, but I don't think it is. So I think there's only two groups of people left that are still holding on to Israel's moral army and there's no genocide. And the Palestinians are just, you know, choosing not to eat for it and starve to death or whatever fantastical, ludicrous things Netanyahu and the deeply evil Israeli government is saying these days. So there's only the people in power. And that's nine, literally 98% of our politicians still say, nope, no genocide, Palestine should not be recognized as a state, and we should keep sending money to Israel, and they just did, right?

It was just a couple of weeks ago they spent, sent another $500 million. So you haven't slaughtered or murdered enough Palestinians, go, go, go, go, go. That's 98% of the worst people on earth who are our politicians, right? So they're hopeless because they're bought by A-PAC in the Israeli lobby. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and just lying you on purpose to protect a foreign government. It's super weird that they're doing that. So obviously the people in power are deeply, deeply corrupt. Okay, so that's one group, but they're tiny.

Unfortunately, they have all the power, but there's like, you know, just a couple of thousand of them in the whole country, right? The only other group that's left is, well, two groups. And there's the evangelical Christians who are like, oh yeah, Jesus is going to come back and murder everyone. Go, go Israel, go genocide the Muslims. Let's go. It's the beginning of the giant genocide we're all rooting for. So those guys are hopeless because they believe in religious fundamentalism that is like apocalyptic and like they want zombies going around. But they don't worry, they're going to get hoovered up by Jesus and they're going to look down and laugh at you. Ha ha ha, you're all dying Jews, Muslims, other Christians, you're all dead.

So those are fanatic lunatics that should never be considered. in policy, unfortunately there were significant voting block in America. They're much smaller voting block now. The controversial part is, look, we've been pretending this whole time that there's not an ethnic bias here, right? So some of the best fighters for peace are Jewish Americans and we could call it out all the time. It's not about Jews, it's about Israel. But the only other remaining group in this country that's blocking any progress is people who are ethnically biased. And they say, no, no, other people can do genocides.

genocides, but never my people. My people are the best. And so if we're genociding people, then we're not. Then you're an anti-Semite for saying that. You hate Jews. That's why you should be in favor of genocide. Well, I'm done with it. I'm done with it. Now, if you're, I don't, look, I get at the ethnic bias. Is it just for people who love Israel or Jews? Absolutely not. No way. Everyone has an ethnic bias. And if you ask Turks, they'll be massively ethnically biased on Kurds and Armenian genocide, etc. Right? But are we going to pretend that they're not biased? Obviously a giant chunk of people supporting Israel and America are people who are blinded

by their bias. And I don't say that in a hateful way, et cetera. I don't hate them at all. I'm telling you, I get it, I get it. But we need you to snap out of it. We need you to join, like find your better angels inside yourself. Because just saying, no, I'm going to use all my power to accuse everyone of being anti-Semites, and I'm going to get rid of anyone who opposes genocide.

You're just disgusting. It's horrible. And it's not just horrible for the Palestinians. It's not just horrible for the American people. It's also horrible for Israel and Jews. You're now these ludicics who think that they're protecting Jews or protecting Israel are like, no, if you're not pro-genocide, then that means you hate Jews. So if you want to love Jews, you have to be pro-genocide. Don't. Don't say that. You're making anti-sevicism 20,000 times worse, but they can't see because they're blinded. They're like a blind giant. They're like Goliath.

Or more accurately, they're like Lenny of mice and men. Oh, nice money, nice. Oh, no, no, no, the buddy's fine. The buddy's fine. And if you don't say the buddy's fine, then you're anti-Lenny. No, no, you guys have lost your goddamn minds. Snap out of it because now everyone's starting to hate. The entire ethnic group, how does that help you, you idiots?

How does that help you? No, no, no, they can't see straight. No, no, my people, my people, my people, my people are the greatest. Your people are irrelevant. We slaughter 20,000 of your kids, who cares? You're bothering me, you're bothering me. My sensitivities and feelings are offended. There's a famine.

Babies are starving to death. Try to find your humanity. Back to you, John. Yeah, I'm definitely going to jump into the, the stats, but was did you want to quickly comment before we get into the numbers? I mean, it's it's hard to see how anybody who's for what's happening right now sees the Palestinian people as human. This idea that, you know, they're just not people that the Israelis should be expected to live next to because somehow they're just some special kind

of horrific, monstrous brand of human being is, I mean, it's the height of lunacy to me. Like people get over this kind of stuff all the time, like India and Pakistan, the Serbs and the Bosnians are the Serbs and pretty much everybody in the Balkans. You know, you name it, India, Pakistan, like you, you name it, like people have found a way to live next to each other, the entire continent of Europe. I mean, like, you can just go down the line. Folks have found a way to live next to each other in peace. And if like you truly believe like this is the only way to achieve peace for the Israeli people. Like like you just have to think in your heart that Palestinian people are just a special brand of alien monster, which I just think is is baffling. It's crazy.

It's obviously racist. And it's just, it's just horrible. Like like there's no way to justify this. There's no way to justify the actions that Israel is undertaking. If you see the population of people in Palestine as actual people and human beings, like, it's just unjustifiable. Well, let's jump quickly into some of the numbers here that have been provided. At least 20% of households have an extreme lack of food. Basically, they're starving.

They don't have any food. A very significant percentage of kids, we're talking not even toddlers to toddlers, their bodies are wasting away. At least two people or four children or five per 10,000 are dying daily. Of course, you know, 10,000 so you multiply that by many times over to get the entire population. That's how many people are literally just starving to death every day. More than 640,000 people in about a month will face catastrophic levels of food insecurity. That is IPC phase five levels of starvation. About the rest of the population will be in phase four.

Some will only be in phase three starvation at that point. And over 98% I'm gonna jump ahead of graphic for over 98% of cropland and the Gaza Strip is either damaged and accessible or both because it has been intentionally destroyed by the IDF. Still though, I just want, I want to say what the UN guy said, about a mile or two away people are having brunch to be clear. It's not that there isn't food, they're just not giving it to them. They're having family dinners.

They're having celebrations, there's birthday cake. one mile that way, okay? This isn't like this is an inaccessible part of the world. We just can't get a plane there. They're choosing like, ah, do I want the Caprizi salad or I think tuna actually. That's what's happening a mile away. And just briefly before discussing, I want to mention three sort of things that make me nauseous. The first obviously is what's actually happening.

That should have make everyone feel sick. The second is, and maybe this is just me, it's the feeling I have reporting on something like this, where it's this mixture of feeling disgusted with like a desperate hope of, well, maybe this will get through to people. Because shooting them won't, you can shoot as many kids as you want. Doesn't matter, it's not gonna get through them. You can blow them to pieces, you can set them on fire, you can drop a building on their head, you can do that a hundred times,

a thousand times, 20,000 times to kids. And crap, that just didn't get through to people. Okay, maybe if they're starving, Then will people care? It feels like reporting on school shootings over the years where it's like, well, surely I mean if 20 kids are shot, that'll do something, no. Maybe if a church gets shot up, that'll no, no a bar, a concert, casino, no, none of it, none of it. And honestly, this isn't going to get through to those people too. Anybody who has the physical capacity for empathy has already experienced that empathy. The rest are not going to because they don't want to. They're

not going to cry for this human suffering because they don't see it as human suffering. They don't see these people as worthy of a single thought, a single tear, Jank. So that's why it's deeply ironic when they keep throwing around that anti-Semitic word, right? Which now means absolutely nothing. They do ruin that word, used to mean something. Now it means heroic fighter for peace. And because if you fight for peace, they're gonna call you an anti-Semite, guaranteed, guaranteed. And they're gonna say it two billion times over. This is a one trick pony and they're giant liars and all they love to do is smear everyone else. They're like, oh, don't ignore our genocide.

The real problem is people criticizing us. They're so evil and hateful, you know what, everybody's sick of that. We're vomiting that word, we can't stand it anymore. Now when anybody used the word anti-Semite, they're almost definitely a racist, because they're the ones who say, no, yeah, Israeli children are the most precious children in the world. I think Israeli children are as precious as every child on the planet earth, I hope none of them ever get hurt. Right? Now we say the same thing for about Palestinian children. They're like, no, you're an anti-Semite if you don't agree that we should have murdered 20,000 of their kids. We should murder another 20,000.

And if you don't say it, you hate Jews. No, brother, no. No, you hate Palestinians. You're a deeply racist, nearly psychotic person at this point. So I'm done with any Israeli supporter still defending the starvation of children. And what they've done to Jewish culture, you know, is sickening. Holocaust survivor spoke out eloquently against it. Today we're going to share that later in the show with you guys.

My favorite author in the world, Yuval Harare is an Israeli. And he said they're destroying our culture. The culture used to be for openness and caring about the underdog and the victims. And that's absolutely true. Jewish people in this country have been wonderful to me throughout my life. They were the leaders of the civil rights movement in a lot of ways because why they wanted to step up for other people who abuse, etc. Now Israel has turned that culture into an oppressor culture, a racist culture, a culture who's just indifferent to other people's pain, other people's

suffering. And all they do is lie. Every word out of an Israeli government official is a lie. So no, no, the Israeli government leaders are deeply evil. And now if you're still supporting them when the entire rest of the world says, yes, it's definitely a famine, yes, you're definitely starving the children to death. Yes, you've definitely murdered 62,000 of them. It's an 83% civilian kill ratio, but one of the worst in modern history, worse than Bosnia, worse than Sudan, worse than Aleppo and the butcher of Damascus, Assad, butchered those people in Aleppo. That was a 59% civilian kill ratio. Hamas was a 67% kill ratio civilian kill ratio on October 7th. Israel's at an 83% civilian kill ratio. They're butchering civilians. And from

the Jewish people, that's heartbreaking for what they've gone through. Now Israel is inflicting on others. And I can't stand it anymore. And if you're a person of decency and any kind of moral conscious, you have to do everything in your power to get them to stop. It's like we're living in the middle of the Holocaust now, and the biggest debate we're having is, have we offended the Germans too much? Who cares if we offend the Germans? We should be going to war against the Germans in the middle of the Holocaust, and we did. We're worried about the Israeli feelings? Are you insane? Children are literally going to starve to death today because of the God damn Israelis.

And that is a fact. And if you say, oh, no, I found a real problem here. Jake said, goddamn Israelis. That's an anti-Sabai. My feelings are hurt. I don't care about your feelings. And your feelings are racist. Say, oh, yeah, Palestinians, murder their kids.

Who cares? They're not human. You are racist. You're a sick person. Don't you ever say anti-Semite? Don't you ever talk about bigotry? Don't you ever talk about anything? If you're not fighting to end this genocide right now, you're a monster.

You're a deeply evil, immoral person. And I don't care what you think. Oh, no, I get to say that I'm the only one who's pure. Anyone who criticizes me, fire them, arrest them. They're doing it today, guys. This stupid Trump administration, we're going to review 55. million visas in case anyone is criticizing Israel, they'll be removed from the country. And finally, that's the last part of it.

Israel controls America, saying anything otherwise is absurd, it's counterfactual. How could in the middle of a famine, forced famine, all of these dead children, 98% of our government is still kissing Israel's ass. pro-genocide. I accused them. I accused them of being deeply immoral scumbags. Oh, where's the money? Where's the money? Our politicians sicken me. And our media. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Congressional hearings on anti-Semitism. Protect the poor Israelis. The real problem is how you guys are offending the Israelis. No, the politicians, they're not crooks. They're not going to ignore the APAC money. If you say APAC money, oh, that's it. You're

hateful. No, shut up. Lie on behalf of Israel. You have to lie on behalf of Israel. That's what mainstream media says. If you work at mainstream media and you still haven't called it a genocide, you're a coward, you're a sniveling, immoral, deeply evil coward. I'm sick of the people in power in this country, using it to abuse people. They never help us. They never help us. We've given Israel $310 billion. And then Israel comes and says, you owe us. You are. You owe us? Are you kidding me? We don't know you're a goddamn thing. We should cut off Israel. They're not an ally. Let's be clear about it. No one has gotten us in more trouble. No one has

caused more harm. No one has caused more wars in my lifetime than Israel. We, Israel is not our ally. At this point, they are our enemy. They take money from us. They incriminate us to the whole world. They implicate us in their immoral war crimes. No one has hurt this country more than Israel has. Israel is our top enemy. Enemy. Cut off the goddamn funding. You're taking my money to murder Palestinian children. You goddamn racist. That's how I feel about it. Young Turks. If you know someone who will be in the form illegal in the United,
