You're listening to 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. It's always been 30 to 35 percent idiot. I just saved curtains. I'm so upset. Oh my God. Gah!

Jane Cougar Anna Kisperin with you guys. So huge newsday. We're in the middle of a war with Iran, obviously. The casualties that we have incurred is apparently much, much higher than we've been to believe. And we're gonna tell you about that. We're gonna tell you about Rogan and so many others turning against this war, calling it insane. We're gonna tell you about Megan Kelly ripping Lindsey Graham's face off. So this is a wild times where right against right and everyone has a different opinion on this. And then Pierce Morgan takes on Dave Rubin finally finds

out he's a snake. I mean, I'm gonna say it a couple of times, but Told you, right? So okay, we'll get to all of that and remember everybody, I'm gonna tell you this a couple times today too. So on Friday, special power panel, second hour, myself, Senator Nina Turner and Marjorie Taylor Green, okay? That is a hell of a power panel, that's on Friday. Tonight at the end of the show at 8 o'clock we have Operation Joy, of course, where we turn

it around completely and bring joy into the world. All right, Casper. Well, I wanted to begin with some of the latest polling on this ongoing war with Iran, along with some of the crazier statements that we've been hearing from Middle East envoy, Steve Whitkoff. Let's get right to it. If they have children, think about what this world would look like if you didn't have Donald Trump as the president. Because in a year, if you had someone who didn't have the courage to do this action, you'd have 30 or 40 nuclear bombs. And what would the world look like there? So thank God we have a president and leadership at the helm that makes these courageous decisions. Just one vicious lie after the next from Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Whitkoff, who was responsible for meeting with the Iranians, indirectly actually, to come up with the peace deal that, wow, shockingly did not come to fruition.

Could it be because Whitkoff really had no interest in a peace deal to begin with? I don't know. Now, there he is lying about Iran supposedly having the capacity to build literally dozens of nuclear bombs. But nonetheless, public opinion polls are so dire for the president's war against Iran that the aides working for him are now urging him to find an exit ramp. Before we get to all of that more, Jank, your two cents. Yeah, in this case, I have three cents. One is you're going to see that the Republicans still seem to be holding with Trump,

but there's actually a softness of those numbers. I'm going to show you what I mean by that softness and why I could crumble right away. Number two, there's a number in here among all the different polls we're going to show you. That is startling. You're going to tell your family and friends about it tonight, so don't miss that. And finally, we did our own poll that you guys financed. Does America owe Israel any more money? Wait till you see the results of that.

So let's actually begin with the latest polling. And there's been a number of polls that have come out that I think are worth looking into. I'll start with the New York Times, which basically did this aggregate of polls to kind of show this fun graphic that indicates the support for U.S. military intervention in the first days of the Iran wars, super low compared to previous conflicts. So as you can see here, the Iran war has just 41% support among the American people. Juxtaposed that with the 97% support Americans had for the U.S. entering the fight in World War II. 92% of Americans supported the 2001 invasion into Afghanistan. Obviously, that was after the 9-11 terror attacks that took place. And then even the super unpopular war in Iraq, which most Americans now,

say was a massive mistake, you know, the war that we entered in 2003, even that had 76% support. Fast forward to the first few days of the Iran war, and you see, again, only 41% of Americans are behind it. Now, the latest Quinepiac poll also has some pretty damning results. For instance, 53% of voters oppose the US military action against Iran, while 40% supported. Again, this is Gallup. And it is strange that the percentage of individuals who are against the war in Iran isn't higher, especially when you consider this. 77% of voters think it is either very likely at 33% or somewhat likely at 44%, that there will be a terrorist attack on U.S. soil in response to the U.S. military action against Iran.

I would say that a higher percentage of Americans should be against the war, if that's genuinely what they think. More Americans are also, you know, opposing the idea of sending troops to Iran. 74% of voters opposed sending U.S. ground troops into Iran, while 20% support it. Those 20% are un-American and enemies of our country. A majority of voters, 55% do not think Iran posed an imminent threat or military threat to the United States before the current U.S. military action against Iran. By the way, 74% of Republicans sadly think that Iran did pose an imminent threat to the United States, which just isn't true.

Iran did not have the military capability or the missiles necessary to reach the United States. But I think this shows you just how much media propaganda has a hold on the American people, because if you're watching Fox News, you will definitely think that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States. Further, 63% of voters say that Trump has not provided. a clear explanation for why we are at war with Iran. And then finally, this is what I find to be the most devastating, because I think this percentage is too low. 44% of voters think the US is too supportive of Israel,

while 5% think the US is not supportive enough of Israel. And 44% think the US support of Israel is about right. So equal percentages think that it's either too much support or just about right, the right amount of support. I think that having a foreign country control our foreign policy has been not only to the detriment of the United States, I think it has destroyed the United States and driven us into a massive amount of debt. And by the way, Gallup is just one of many polls.

I should note that demonstrate the lack of popularity that Trump seems to enjoy overall when it comes to his foreign policy decisions in his second term. Nonetheless, Jang, 44% too low, right? Yeah. It is, but I mean, it's a giant sea change of a difference. So let me bring it down one by one. On the support for Israel, it used to be sky high. There used to be almost no support for the Palestinians.

Why? Because traditionally national media reported things 100% from Israel's perspective. The poor Israelis are terrorized by the Palestinians who are all terrorists. And poor, poor Israel needs our help, et cetera. And the Palestinians are such vicious. aggressive, genocidal freaks. They wanna kill all the Israelis, right? So now if you grew up watching that, you would think, well, of course I'm against the Palestinians

and I'm in favor of the poor victims, the Israelis. Now of course the reality is that it's not true at all. The Israelis occupy the Palestinians, not vice versa. We've been over this many times. But that's exactly what's happening here. Online media is starting to tell you the truth. It's actually national media that have been lying to you throughout, right? So now as more and more people get the real truth, and by the way, they go to very, they go to

verify it. You could go online now and do your own research. Before, I mean, Anna, I grew up in an era where there was no internet. You couldn't do your own research. So if Jake Tapper told you Israel is the greatest, most moral country in the world and they're being abused and the Palestinians are dirty terrorists, you literally had no way of looking that up, so everyone believed it, right? So it started out at like 100 to 0, so that's why it coming to a tie now is shocking for the people who support Israel. They're like, how could this be? We are the immortal victims, right? So it's an enormous sea change and it's only going in one

direction. It's never gonna go back to, oh yeah, let's support that state that committed a genocide with our money, we drove us into this war, got so many of our troops killed, injured, etc. So the support for Israel is decaying at a rate I have never seen on any other issue. Okay, so now, Now let's go to the softness for the Republicans that I talked about. So about three quarters of Republicans still support this war. They bought into the, you know, the propaganda. Oh, like it's an imminent threat and Donald Trump is protecting us, et cetera.

Now three quarters sounds like a bad number, like where's the Magna's Civil War and all that stuff? On the other hand, guys, it used to be in the 90s. So now a quarter of even Republicans are questioning this war. Second of all, a lot of people forget, almost everybody forgets and almost every one of these articles, Trump had a lot of independent voters, a ton of independent voters, and the independent voters are gone, right? They're not like the Republicans, they're massively against this war, right? Secondly, in the Republican numbers, there's huge softness.

Number one is, now when you ask about ground troops, a majority of Republicans go, oh, hell no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no with ground troops. They didn't say that during the Iraq war, they didn't say that in other wars, but now they're They're not just watching Fox News, they're also watching Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, and so many other shows that are online, and they're now finally getting two different points of view. And when you get the correct point of view and the incorrect point of view, it really becomes exceedingly obvious which one is right and which one is not.

The Fox News side can't describe any real threats to America. The other side explains why this is all about Israel, so the other side has all the facts. But Anna, you're right, later in the show we're gonna show a clip of Lindsey Graham on And again, if you're in that boomer class that's watching Fox News, which is a big number of Republicans, a lot of older voters, right? They watched Lindsey Graham telling them, oh my God, Iran was going to have 11 nuclear warheads they could fire in America within weeks. What's the latest trend in hiring?

So if you're wide standing, you really believe it, You're like, oh, thank God, President Trump saved us from San Antonio and Albuquerque getting

nuked. Because Lindsay Graham told me it was weeks away. And Sean Hannity agreed. He saved our lives because they don't know any better, right? But even so it's on. Okay, well, Fox News has been around. Look, I kind of, I get that I vacillate from being empathetic to right now. I'm not going to be very empathetic.

But Fox News has been around since the 1990s, correct? Yeah, nice. And Netanyahu has been fear mongering about Iran's supposed nuclear capability since like the late 80s. So like, I don't get it. To the Fox News audience, if any of them happen to be watching this, which I doubt, aren't you tired of pooping in your depends over non-existent threats? Like, seriously, consider that. Consider the fact that you've heard the same lies over and over again for literally decades.

But, you know, I just look, they'll be long gone because Fox News's audience, of course, is much older. And when they're long gone, the rest of us will be here to pick up the massive mess left behind by, you know, destroying our economy, by getting involved in these ridiculous interventions, not on our own behalf. Not because it benefited the United States or the American people, but because it was demanded from us by a foreign country that pays off our politicians. or blackmails them if they're unwilling to be bought. That's what's really going on here. But anyway, let's talk about what Trump knows. Because last week, there was some concern that his aides were misleading him, that they weren't showing Trump the polling that indicated that he is actually losing

whatever's left of his popularity as a result of getting dragged into these interventions. Well, now the Wall Street Journal says that his aides have, in fact, briefed him on some polling about the war. public polls released in recent days, the Wall Street Journal wrote, show that most Americans oppose the war. But here's how White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt, responded to that. While many in the president's conservative base still support the initial operation, oh, sorry, this is from the Wall Street Journal. This isn't Levitt's quote, but the journal notes, while some in the president's conservative base still support the initial operation, some of the president's advisors have privately expressed concerns that a longer war could deplete that support. But as far as what they're saying publicly, especially when it comes to Caroline Levitt, White House Press Secretary, she says the vast majority of Americans support ending the threat posed by the Iranian regime and support killing terrorists. And that's what President Trump is going to accomplish.

Okay, let's talk about what President Trump has accomplished so far in Iran. He has accomplished the bombing of an elementary school, killing 160 plus little girls. girls and about 14 adults who happen to work at the school. He has managed to, I guess, decapitate the regime by taking out Ali Khamene, who was then replaced by his son, who is a hardliner, much more hardline than his father was. And on top of that, just had several members of his family executed thanks to the United States and Israel. So he's going to be even more, I mean, that's the reason why they chose him. potentially going to be even more vicious, right? So what exactly do we accomplish here?

We didn't accomplish anything other than forcing the American people to go deeper into debt to the tune of $1 to $2 billion a day. That's how much it's costing us to fight Israel's war. Be clear on that. Be informed on that. Know what you're getting yourself into when you support Trump's ridiculous interventionism. On top of that, one thing that's clear is that Trump has no what he's doing, Jank. Last week he said that Iran needs to surrender unconditionally, otherwise the war would not end. On Monday, he told the New York Post that even though earlier he said he was considering ground troops, now he's not considering it at all. Later that same day, Trump said that, you know, the war could be over very soon. It could be over very soon. And then

later that night, he said, we could go further and we're going to go further. So he is speaking for both sides of his mouth. He has no clear objective or goal here. And it seems that Trump is a better representative of the Israeli people as opposed to the American people, because take a look at this. So this compares U.S. support for the war in Iran versus Israeli support. And as you can see, when it comes to Americans, 36% approve, 54% disapprove of military intervention in Iran. But the numbers are very different for the Israelis, 82% approved, 13% disapprove. And if you're wondering where these poll numbers come from, the top poll representing Americans was done by NPR PBS Marist from March 2nd through the 4th.

And the Israeli polling was carried out by the Israel Democracy Institute from March 2nd through the 3rd. Jank back to you. Yeah, so some of those Israelis rethinking that now that they're hiding in their shelters and crying about bombs but hitting Israel. We'll share that with you later in the show. Look, another reason why the numbers are soft, when you ask about gas prices, 74% are concerned that the war is going to cause higher gas prices, and they're going to be mad about it. So, including a very large chunk of Republicans.

Trump overall, on almost every issue from the economy to immigration to this war is 20 points underwater. Guys, don't sleep on that. Those are disastrous numbers. When Biden was near those numbers, I said that he had a 0% chance on winning. And that turned out to be correct. And Trump is in big, big trouble. A lot of the press is scared of them, so they don't report it as they should. The reality is he's at maximum buying dementia levels of bad polling.

So these numbers are super soft, by the way, over three quarters of Americans say no ground troops, including a significant, majority of Republicans. Now, the shocking, devastating number. So when we first went into the Iraq war, it had a popularity of 76%. That's because almost all of our politicians and almost all of our media lied and said that Iraq had attacked us on 9-11, and they had weapons of mass destruction. Oh my God, we're gonna get nuke, just like you saw Steve Whitkoff say the same lies over and over again. But they said those lies for so long that over three quarters of the country wanted to go in.

Now, for Iran war, we started at 41%. That is unbelievably low, okay? And that's the higher of the two numbers that we showed you, right? But what did we end the Iraq war on? Remember, at the end of the Iraq war, after we've been there about a decade, and we lost so many guys, so many injured, there's a giant mess, we spent trillions of dollars, and it was so unpopular that we had to leave. At that point, Iraq war's popularity was 43%, higher than where the Iran war started.

So the minute we start taking significant casualties, which we now have reports that 150 Americans have been wounded that just dropped right before the show, that's a big number that they were hiding, let alone the seven dead, et cetera. And the gas prices continue to go up. This is gonna go from 41 to a number we were. never seen, right? So this is a disaster in the making. Now, one of the reasons that of course we're pushing this, we're not one of the, oh, by the way, I should also know it, and I mentioned all the flip-flopping of Donald Trump. Senator Blumenthal came out of a top intelligence

briefing and said, uh-oh, it looks like we're getting ground troops ready. So there's a lot of yip-yap and talking, talking, talking. But the bottom line is, what's the war planning? Senator Blumenthal is saying they're planning on ground troops. So that's the important part. Now all of this of course is for Israel. And so we have no interest in Iran at all. And if we did, we don't anymore. We wiped out everything they had related to nukes, their regime, their ballistic missiles,

their navy, et cetera. The only people left dissatisfied are the Israelis who say keep pushing and pushing and spend all your money for us, as Anna pointed out, one to two billion a day for this war alone. All right, so we asked, I, I, I, I, I asked this question when I was on Tucker Carlson's show, and then I asked if mainstream media will ask it. And we're like, no, no, you cannot ask the Americans if they support Israel. It's an outrageous thing to do in terms of financially, because that's the only thing that matters.

Are we gonna keep sending that money? Or we're gonna keep using our money to back them up militarily, right? So of course, none of them did that poll as we suspect. So I asked you guys to finance it and you did. You're amazing. So we did a real poll with you, go of over a thousand people answer. about the same number of Republicans and Democrats. In fact, they leaned a little bit more Republican in this poll.

And we asked a simple question, should the US continue to provide financial support for Israel? That is a position that has been very, very popular for as long as I have been alive. Or the US doesn't owe Israel any more money or not sure. 21% as you're seeing on the screen there say not sure, that's a big number, that's not sure. 49% say no, we do not owe Israel any more money. And only 30% say we should continue to financially support Israel. Can I ask you something, Jake? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Why do you use that wording? Because I need to understand if this is actually a thing.

Why the hell would we ever owe any foreign country, any money, unless we did damage to their country and promise to repair things? Like, why would we owe Israel money? Well, that's what all of mainstream media and all the politicians tell us that we owe them. When we say, hey, why do we owe them? They go special ally. No, we don't owe them anything. No, we don't owe them anything. Like that wording is so triggering to me. We don't owe them Jack, okay? Like that that framing is wrong. I haven't heard that framing on mainstream media, by the way. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, Anna, it is implicit in every single thing they say. When you question, why do we have to give Israel all this money? They call you an anti-examination.

semi and say you always, how dare you question it? How dare you question it? Like if we ask why do we owe money to Bulgaria or Thailand, literally no one would question that. That would be a very normal debate, discussion, et cetera. When you ask it about Israel, they're like, how dare you, right? Well, what does it mean? How dare I?

So yeah, let me ask Americas, do we owe these guys? And why on God's green earth would we owe them, right? I'm actually, look, this is a real poll. We did it with you gov, and I told you before we did it, we don't know what the results are going to be. I'm actually surprised that it was on. only 49%. But that goes to the poll that we covered earlier in this segment, Anna, which is that support for Israel was so incredibly high because literally no one had ever

heard a single critical thing about Israel for about 40 years straight in this country. Mainstream media lied to them in mass about how they were angelic victims as they continue to take more and more land. And mainstream media implied, you owe them, you owe them, You owe them. How dare you question whether you owe them, right? And now there's only 30% left saying, no, what? No, 30% say yes, we should financially support Israel. There are our beloved allies.

That's a number. That's a number. It's a pretty low number, right? And 49, basically half the country going, we don't owe them a single cent. And 21% saying, I don't know, maybe we owe. So that's the current state of affairs. If you'd done that poll a couple of years ago, you would have had financially support Israel at 70, 80%. I've never seen numbers deteriorate this quickly.

It turns out people don't enjoy watching a genocide live stream for two and a half years. But anyway, we got to take a break. When we come back, we'll talk a little bit about Rogan's latest comments and debate over this war in Iran. And we'll also get into the latest numbers when it comes to U.S. casualties. We'll be right back. We must stop the terror. Now watch his drive. I just saved curtains.

All right, back on TYT. So you guys know we're doing two minute breaks now. Jack Calhanna asked why. So guys, we're trying to give you more show. And so I know that means we'll get to read a little bit less comments. A lot of people don't even see the comments. If you're watching this now, that means you're very likely a member on t.com. And so I'm going to tell everybody else, too, to come over to this member stream.

So they see us reading the comments. but a lot of them didn't. So a lot of folks are getting an experience where they couldn't really see anything for four long minutes. So we try to shorten it up and obviously give you a lot more showtime and to give you more stories. So that's the main reason we did it and we appreciate you guys so much. So let me read more of your comments.

SET 86-379 said, Trump's approval average is 37%. Iran war approval is 41%. The war is more popular among the people who vote. That is amazing, brother. I never thought about it that way and that's a terrific. The war is deeply unpopular. Trump is even more unpopular. That's amazing.

Sudo Dragon says, it really says something about the American mindset that they would categorize an attack on US soil from a foreign country you are at war with as a terrorist attack. Yeah, it does that happens all the time later in the show. We're gonna show you Jake Tapper having an Israeli spy on his show and talking about like, how dare they attack us? At our basis, it is outrageous. I'm a newsman and I did not realize we attacked them first.

Okay, so nerd Ferguson says, I remember the pre internet time. Someone would say something like, I wonder how old Bert Reynolds is. And we'd all just shrug our shoulders and say, I don't know, I'll move on without an answer. Yep, now we can look things up. That's mainstream media hates it. You're going to find out. All right, guys, back on TYT, Janganana with you guys. Look, we're trying to do so much more for you guys.

We'll literally give you 10 more minutes to show now. We've switched to two minute ad breaks. If you're a YouTube member, go to t.com slash connect to connect your two membership accounts, the YouTube account and the tyt.com account because the tyt.com account allows you to watch the members only video stream where you're not getting the ads. You're getting me reading your super chats, your YouTube member comments and the member comments from all across. And then I've got an update from one of our YouTube members, and then I'll get back over to

for the news. Dovesland wrote in my aunt called two nights ago, her youngest grandson just finished boot camp. And he was just told that he's being deployed to Iran. We are all scared for him, and I'm pissed off even more than I was. So there you have it. People from the actual audience saying the deployment to Iran has begun. So, oh boy. It's disgusting. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. By the way, look, whatever you might think about Candice Owens, Just put that aside for a second and just focus on what I'm about to say. She was getting attacked because she was providing links, resources for our soldiers who want to be conscientious objectors and not be deployed to fight a war on behalf of a foreign country. She was getting attacked viciously for sharing that resource.

It's just the entitlement discussed me. The entitlement to human lives on behalf of a foreign country discussed me, beyond words. But anyway, why don't we talk a little bit about someone else who seems to be very much against this war? And that happens to be Joe Rogan. But just seems so insane based on what he ran on. I mean, this is why a lot of people feel betrayed, right? And he ran on no more wars and these stupid senseless wars. And then we have one that we can't even really clearly define why we did it.

It does appear that Joe Rogan is becoming more and more vocal against the Trump administration's foreign interventions. In this case, he's speaking out against the war against Iran, of course, on behalf of Israel. And he even got into a fiery debate with his guest, Michael Schellenberger, over whether or not this war is about doing what's right for the U.S. versus Israel. But before we get to all of that, Jank, your two cents. Yeah. So look, I said a, the beginning that the independent hosts have no reason to just tow the line for Donald Trump. It's a different environment than it used to be. Before when they worked for Fox News, they'd get paid $20 million a year, so they had all the reason in the world to lie to you. But

Rogan's already independently wealthy, he doesn't have to lie. So that is why now you're seeing all of the podcasters, Dylan, Schultz, Theo Vaughn, and now Joe Rogan, telling you that as it actually is and not BSing you, they said anti-war and I'm relieved to find out they meant anti-war. Wait till you see what he says here. So as I mentioned earlier, his guest is Michael Schellenberger. He's an author and journalist. And in this next clip, they discuss, or I should say debate whether or not Israel has an outsized influence over U.S. foreign policy. Take a look.

The whole older system was that you had this international U.S. Security Council would have to agree. The Congress would have to agree. That's all gone now. I mean, it's just a totally different. This guy is just acting. You know, he says he's not getting where they want to get in the negotiations with the Iranians. So he says, we have some leverage over you and we're going to use it.

But clearly Israel wanted this. Israel has its own motivations, I think. Yeah. But I don't think, I think it's not quite accurate to say that I just don't think I think all the evidence shows that Trump is his own man and he's the president. Trump's doing what he wants to do. And we should. You really think it's that simple?

Trump's doing what he wants to do. Yes. You don't think people are influencing him? Because there's a lot of war hawks around him, right? There's a lot of people that want this and have for a long time. I mean, Netanyahu's in there, but then Tucker was in there a bunch. But do you think that Tucker has the kind of influence that Netanyahu has? Well, I mean, I guess if you just based it on the outcome, then the answer is no.

No. I think Michael Schellenberger is a lot smarter than he is making himself out to be. I'll just leave it there. No, I won't leave it there. Can I jump in? Yeah. No, no. That's ridiculous.

Really, Israel's not influencing Trump, really? Oh, yeah, Miriam Adelson, like, handed over $300,000 to the Trump campaign, just out of the kindness of her own. I'm sorry, 300 million. Jesus Christ, it always blows my mind. I like, our democracy is a farce. Like we don't really live in a democracy. The fact that a single couple can give the president of the United States

$300 million for his campaign, that should be illegal, but it's not. Corruption is baked into our system. But anyway, do you really think that the Aitlesons were just going to hand over $300 million for no reason? They're not expecting anything in return. Come on, Michael, you're smarter than that, Michael. Come on. You know you are.

I don't know why you're pretending to be dumb, but okay. Yeah, I don't know if Michael is smart at all. There's a chance he's an idiot. No, I know Michael. I know Michael personally. He's not a dumb guy. All right. Well, then he's acting dumb and he's a liar.

Yeah. So that's a bigger problem. So I don't know him from Adam and I don't want to know him because what he was saying there is absurd and is an attempt to deceive the American people. Look, I get it that some people genuinely believe that. But they're so brain, they've almost brainwashed them. Oh, Israel has no influence, no influence. It's anti-Semitic that they say that they have influence.

Are you lunatics? Are you lunatics? You think the 300 million doesn't affect them, number one lifetime donor to Joe Biden, Mike Johnson Schumer, Jeffries? No, it doesn't affect them. $100 million. Number one lobby group in the last election sent to 94% of Congress, and that doesn't affect them because the politicians are so moral and holy?

No, it's an untenable position. And these morons or liars in mainstream media keep telling you, it's not Israel, it's definitely not Israel, in a way that makes you wonder, what are you guys doing? What are you up to? I really question Michael Schellenberger and his motivations, right? I question your motivations because it is an impossible thing to say that Israel did not have a massive influence in this war. It's preposterous to say that.

The thing that's amazing about it, Jank, is, and this has been an ongoing thing that's making me more and more agitated. So people will be like, why are you always yelling? Why are you so, so angry all the time? Because here's the thing, okay? You will have members of the Israeli government telling you exactly what they're going to do, and then they do it. And then all I do is say, hey, these Israeli government officials said that they were

going to do something, and then they did it. And I get in trouble. You get called an anti-Semite for pointing that out. No, no, no. That's not what they, it's not a genocide. Even though they kept saying we're going to do a genocide. We're going to like slaughter every single Palestinian in Gaza. Okay. In the case of Israel's influence on Donald Trump, Trump literally ran as an anti-war candidate in 2016, in 2020, in 2024. Okay, he was pressured like crazy by Benjamin and Yahoo to go to war with Iran and his, first term, he resisted, resisted, resisted, resisted. And then you have our own Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, saying on the record, well, Israel was going to strike, and our soldiers in the region are sitting ducks, so we had no choice and we decided to strike first. He said that. So in other words, Israel dragged us into this war. To claim that you don't think Israel had an influence on Trump is just, first of all, demonstrably false, of course. But also, yeah, you're right, Jake, either you're lying or you're playing dumb or both.

I don't know, but it needs to stop. It needs to stop. You lose your credibility when you literally have our own government officials saying and admitting on the record, we got dragged into this war because of Israel. And then you have people, a self-described journalist saying, no, I don't think Israel had anything to do with it. I think that Trump is his own man. Yeah, and I want to point out a different lie.

And I get it that maybe they don't think they're lying. Like nobody looks at themselves in the mirror and thinks I'm the bad guy, right? And so they've gotten themselves to believe and probably because they're so worried about anti-Semitism spreading. So they're like- Totally. Yeah, so let's actively lie and say that Israel has no control, no power, no influence at all because otherwise people will become anti-Semitic. So we have to just all lie in unison, they think subconsciously.

But look at the second lie. So he says, now you know, Donald Trump's his own man, of course, everybody. He knows, really? When Qatar gave him $400 million jet, he seemed like he was way friendlier to Qatar. When people give him money into his cryptocurrency, they get out of jail free card. Like Donald Trump is the easiest man in the world to influence. All you have to do is give him money and he'll do whatever you want. But yet Michael Schlemm, whatever his name is, Schlappenberger, okay, comes out and he's like, oh, Donald Trump is his own man.

All of a sudden he's his own man. When you've been criticizing all along for all the bribes he took and all the money he was influenced by? But when it comes to Israel, no way, it was only Donald Trump, only America. Don't ever blame beloved Israel. No, no, you guys are full mask off moment. They're being, they look ridiculous. In the old days when they had a monopoly on media and they could just stamp anti-semite on anyone and just cancel them forever, they had complete monopoly of the airwaves.

Now that they do not have a monopoly, they look so unbelievably stupid. to the rest of us. By the way, Jay, even the old guard, and I'm talking about like the war cheerleaders, historically speaking, Wall Street Journal is a good example of that, right? Even they are publishing incredible reporting about how Senator Lindsey Graham kept meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu and basically coaching him on what to say to Donald Trump to convince him to get involved in the Iran war. That was a huge story that just got published.

So look, it's just the truth matters. The truth matters. Your personal opinion on the war, if you like the war and you support the war, then just say it. But you don't have to lie about why we're involved in the war in the first place or why Trump got dragged into doing this in the first place. You have to be honest with your audience, especially if you use the label of journalists, there's a responsibility that comes along with that. Now, all of us get things wrong time to time. That's totally okay. But this is a life and death type situation.

This has to do with our country, sending our soldiers into a conflict that we should not be part of. And we have to be able to spell out why it is we're involved in the first place. That's all I'm saying. All right. I want to get to the second half of the story and I'll reset for it because this is a big deal. And this is what I mean when I say this is a life and death situation. actual human lives are on the line. And if you don't care about the lives of Iranians, which I absolutely do and everyone should,

you should at least care about the lives of our soldiers. So let's do it. Reuters has reported that about 150 U.S. service members have been injured so far. Can you confirm that number and elaborate on that? I can't confirm this, the exact number. I know it's within that ballpark. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt was confronted with. with an incredibly important question by a Reuters reporter. And here's what a new report found

by Reuters, as many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the 10-day-old war with Iran. And that's according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke with Reuters about it. Now, prior to Reuters' publication of the figure, the Pentagon had only disclosed that eight U.S. personnel were seriously injured. And that goes to a point that we've been making on this show repeatedly, that we suspect the United States government is withholding information and data when it comes to U.S. casualties in the Middle East right now. And probably because of the fact that the war is incredibly unpopular, was unpopular from the jump. And hearing about more of our soldiers either getting wounded or killed is not going to bode well for the Trump administration. In a statement after Reuters published its report, the Pentagon estimated the figure to be approximately 140 wounded and said the vast majority of them were minor.

But at this point, considering the fact that they were withholding information from us, can we really trust the Pentagon to tell us the truth? I certainly don't and I wouldn't take their word for it. And I'm worried, Jank, that this goes beyond troops just merely being wounded, which is bad enough. I'm worried that more of our troops have died, but we just don't know about it yet. According to Reuters, 108, I'm sorry, according to the Pentagon, I should say, 108 only suffered small injuries and they have already returned to duty. Yeah, so let me read a couple of super chats here because they've kind of channeled what I'm thinking. R. Stone said, I want out of this toxic-ass relationship with this foreign country. It's dangerous to everybody's health. Where's the Surgeon General warning label?

Well, now we find out that it's been dangerous to a lot more people's health. You know, 150 kill, I'm sorry, wounded. Well, why were you saying eight a minute ago? Yeah. Well, that's because you're hiding the number of casualties. And by the way, casualties means both killed and injured, right? And why were you hiding the number of casualties? Because you don't want people to find out that all these people got hurt on behalf of Israel,

because that is going to play very, very poorly among the American people. And it is right now. In fact, Gen X Warrior 9 wrote in Super Chat as well, I'm an America First conservative, and I completely agree with you on this issue. Trump has failed the American people with this BS, and he wrote out BS, trust me. Okay, so look guys, you got lied into this war, but you still didn't want it, only 41%. By the way, I should give that important explanation of the 41% number that we did in the earlier segment. So 41% going into the war in terms of popularity for the war is already terrible, but that's

after the war started and there's a rally the flag component that happens after any war starts. And so it got up to 41%. The number used to be as low as 25 to 15% before we went in, right? So this is as unpopular war as we have ever seen. And the more gas prices go up, and much more importantly, the more casual we have, the more unpopular it becomes. And when you go to explain why, and you go to your nonsense standard take it off the shelf, neocon talking points for Iraq, oh, weapons of mass destruction, they are about to have nukes.

Where are they know, we already destroyed their facilities. On and on, all those excuses are either A, we're nonsense to begin with, but B, we've already knocked out everything they have. So why are we still there? And now anyone who doesn't watch television but gets their news online has access to reality and to actually stone cold facts. And everyone knows we're there because Israel has ordered us to be there. And we can't, and they won't order us to leave yet.

But they're actually taking a lot of hits, which we're gonna talk about later in the show. And so they're starting to get skittish about this war that they desperately wanted. So the only way we're gonna leave is if Israel says, all right, forget your use. US casualties. Now Israel has taking some casualties. And those lives are of course worth way more than American lives or any other lives. So now you're allowed to withdraw, right? So Anna, we kind of have to wait for permission to withdraw from Israel. Yeah, I mean, it's a daily humiliation ritual to see that our government, which, you know, takes a significant portion of our earnings out of our paychecks is not representing us, but instead representing the best interests of a foreign

country, is being swayed and influenced by a foreign country. It's wrong. It should be considered treasonous. But unfortunately, we live in a corrupt system that just, you know, is trying to convince the American people this is normal. This is not normal, period. All right, we've got to take a break. When we come back, I want to talk a little bit about, well, the panic among Republican lawmakers about how this war is negatively impacting our economy and more. So stick around for that. We'll be right back. Me like, me like war. It makes me rock hard. All right, let's go to Super Chat. 0-0-0-83 says you guys did a poll on the war. Damn, I didn't get any notification. Yeah, that's the thing that's so frustrating, guys. That's why we everyone's

a while I ask you to send in your email, your phone numbers, because it's really hard to communicate with you guys because most of the information YouTube has and we don't even have in terms of being able to get in touch with you guys. So when we ask you to do that, please participate. Like a lot of times people say, oh, you came to my town. Why didn't you tell me? We did tell you, except we don't have your email, your phone number, so we could only tell the people who gave us that information.

But anyway, I love that you wanted to participate. CDN, Norse Dogdad says, the truth is a monster that you cannot put back into a bottle once it escapes. Barton, EK4H says, today Bev turns 89 and is still fighting. Jenks, she's been crushing on you for years. quote, I like how he says it, how it is. No BS. I think he's single too. Well, Bev, I hate to break it to you. I'm not single, but I love your attitudes. Oh, thank you for being with us all this time and happy birthday. So now we go to our members on t.yot.com. Matthew W.

About our poll says, no, they owe us everything. Eclectic changed his name to Eclectic Mrs. Four-minute breaks and said, our mainstream media constantly being civil is a huge part of what got us into this damn war. Keep on shouting, Anna and Jenk. Thank you. We appreciate that. CB1 says, we all know the words that come out of Trump's mouth mean nothing. And besides Israel's calling the shots, that is certainly true. Avenger Dragon 89 says, oh, it's a funny one. They fart in elevators as they leave. I think he's referring to the Israeli propagandists. All right, back on TYT, Jen and Anna with you guys.

I'll probably cover it in more detail tomorrow. But I just want to remind you all that Pete Hegs, our secretary of war, had said that the war against Iran was a, that has a religious meaning for him. You know, this is about a fight on behalf of Christianity. Well, I'm here to inform you that the U.S. and Israel have struck one of the oldest Armenian communities in existence in Iran. They've been around for centuries. And if you don't know this, Armenians are overwhelmingly Christian.

So good job. Good job, America. Anyway, let's move on to our next story. Are we really saying that we cannot accept several weeks of oil prices maybe being higher than what they should be to take Iran off the map as a predator in the Middle East for decades to come? Is that what we're really saying, that we're so preoccupied with that, that we're not willing to make that kind of a sacrifice here? I think not. I mean, I think we've got to open our eyes, get a little clear right, about what is really happening here. And if we fall prey to walking away on this prematurely over oil prices, we've just given Iran a win. They certainly want that.

Well, that's a great point. No, no, that is it a great point. And no, I'm not willing to deal with higher oil prices and inflation in order to risk and sacrifice our troops in the Middle East to fight Iran on behalf of Israel. That's my take, but apparently retired general Jack Keene disagrees with that take. And while I'm sure he's doing pretty well for himself, he thinks the rest of America should just grin and bear the economic turmoil that has already resulted from our involvement in this war in the Middle East. Again, on behalf of Israel. But, Jank, you're two cents? Yeah, I couldn't tell if he had an American and Israeli flag on his pin.

So, but that would be accurate at least because he obviously has dual loyalty. And you have to remember that a lot of our retired generals are crooks and they work for defense contractors or as lobbyists and they get paid to lie to you on television to start more wars. And Jack Keene to me looks like a guy who doesn't love this country at all and serves another country. So I'm not gonna miss words about that and I don't give a goddamn what he thinks. And how I'm so brave.

Yeah, go be brave for Israel. Get back into the services and bring your sorry ass to the front line. Then I'll believe you, okay, instead of starting wars from a distance. Anyways, as you're going to see here, this is going to do significant damage to our economy. But they'll tell us, no, suck it up for Israel. All right, go ahead, Anna. So look, publicly, you'll hear from Republican lawmakers who are kind of downplaying the economic pain that comes along with attacking a Middle Eastern oil producing country like Iran, you know,

a country that controls the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of our oil and gas is transported through. So again, publicly, they'll downplay the impact of that. But privately, Republican lawmakers are absolutely panicking because their political careers are on the line. One anonymous House Republican spoke to Politico and said, if you are a Republican and not concerned right now, you are stupid. Hopefully, we will square this away sooner than later. Now, I just want to point to the cowardice of these lawmakers because you'll notice that they were only willing to speak to Politico as long as their identities were withheld from the public. If this is what you genuinely think, you are elected to represent the people. So it is incumbent upon you

to identify yourself and speak openly about what you actually think about this war against Iran. But nonetheless, he's not the he or she is not the only person who's concerned here. Political asked another anonymous House Republican. If the economic pain from the Iran war would undo any potential benefit from last year's big beautiful bill, right? Where supposedly ordinary American workers got massive tax cuts. As we know, the majority of those tax cuts were concentrated at the very top with the highest earners. But, you know, working class Americans did get some tax cuts.

Now, the Republican stated in response to that question, hell yes, meaning that this war is undoing the benefits of the big, beautiful bill. Further, this individual says, the most sensitive thing among most driving Americans is the price of gasoline. The person added saying it threatens to send Americans right up the wall. I totally agree on that. There's also one Republican who's not hiding behind anonymity, and this individual deserves a lot of credit. And that's Rand Paul. Take a look. I think the 2026 elections already we are behind the aid call as far as the electoral process. I think if you add in high gas prices, high oil prices, and if we are still bombing Iran with Connecticut,

action, people don't want to call it war. But if there's still kinetic action that causes old to be over $100, I think you're going to see a disastrous election. I think he's right about that. And look, to be fair to Rand Paul, he's usually pretty good on issues of war and peace. As I would say most libertarians are, I might not agree with their economic policies, but when it comes to avoiding these foreign entanglements, libertarians, for the most part, seem to be on the money. That's why Thomas Massey in the House is a registered Republican, but his ideology is more libertarian. That's why he doesn't want to spend all this money and get involved in a war that we shouldn't be involved in at all. Now, Republicans were planning to campaign on the Big Beautiful Bill, but the Iran war may have thrown a monkey wrench into those plans.

because according to investment banker Raymond James, almost all of the economic effects of the individual tax cuts in the big beautiful bill from both smaller withholdings and sweetened tax refunds could be erased if oil prices remain elevated by more than $20 compared with prices before the U.S. Iran war. And if you're wondering, okay, well, how does the math work out? The Tax Foundation estimates that the individual tax cuts from the Big Beautiful Bill total $129 billion for 2025. And according to Raymond James, if oil prices remain $20 above what they were prior to the war, then consumers would pay about $150, I'm sorry, $150 billion in total on gas. So more in gas. And so higher oil prices combined with fluctuating labor market with the fluctuating labor market are why some Wall Street analysts are predicting that stagflation could also be just around the corner. However, that's not the overall consensus just yet. So I don't want you guys to panic too much. Although honestly, Jank, when you look at inflation, how sticky it has been

even prior to this war, when you consider the fact that inflation is said to be much worse, considering the fact that this war is sacrificing oil and gas supply, I don't really see a bright future when it comes to our economy. But who knows, maybe I'll be surprised. Maybe I'm wrong. What do you think? Yeah, no, we got nothing but disaster ahead. But I want to talk more specifically about the Strait of Hormuz and how it's driving up gas prices. So Donald Trump says, what, what are people so worried about? You know what? You should risk your life and try to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Have some courage. Which I told you yesterday, my answer to Donald Trump would be if I was on one of those tankers, you first.

Okay, you come sit at the mast of our ship and pull a, you know, James Cameron, a Titanic and go, I'm king of the world. I'm invading Venezuela, Cuba, Rod and Greenland, right? Okay, and then we'll cross this trade of Hormuz. But you're not going to do that because it is risky, right? And then he says, okay, well, we'll guarantee your insurance. First of all, that insurance isn't going to help the guy on the boat who's going to be dead once the ship sinks.

But okay, it's not him making the decision as the corporation, and that might affect the corporation's decision, and that might work. But who's paying the insurance? Oh, right, we are as US taxpayers, right? So we pay for all the interceptor missiles, not just for our troops, in fact, not predominantly for our troops, predominantly for Israel, and we pay for all of our fleet being there, we pay for the war, now we have to pay for insurance, and on top of that, we have to pay for insurance, and on top of we have to pay the higher oil prices.

So when we tell you that the war is costing one to two billion dollars a day, that does not include the price of gas and all the other consequences that flow from this war. So this war is costing us a fortune. And as we've told you in the past, the global war on terror was literally a global war on Israel's enemies. And so that costs us $8 trillion. And what's the benefit we got out of it? And you all know that now, right?

Even the Republicans hated the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war, all this global war on terror junk cost this country so many good young men and trillions of dollars. And now everybody concedes that. Oh, by the way, did anyone get something out of it? Of course, Israel did. Iran used to help Hamas and Hezbollah and the proxies. They don't anymore. They now have a puppet leader.

And there's puppet leaders all across the Middle East for Israel. So Israel felt safer with their nearby neighbors, but oh, we slav Iran left. America, America, go spend billions and trillions for us, go into the war, you're ordered to do it, right? And now, and Trump and Lizzie Graham and all of them run after it. And now, oh, now it's hurting their political careers. Oh, being a sell-a-b bitch for Israel, got a lot of people killed, he doesn't care about that. Cost you American families, tons of money, he doesn't care about that. But it hurt his political career.

Oh, no. Now he's torn between the bribes I'm getting and the blackmail, whatever they have, or the fact that he's going to be one of the most unpopular presidents we've ever had. He's already 20 points underwater. Like I said earlier in the show, that was Biden at his maximum dementia was 20 points underwater. Okay? So that's where Trump is now and dropping. But all for beloved Israel.

Okay, so, and by the way, 150 of our guys got killed. Israel's been hit, way worse than they expected, not killed, sorry, injured, 150 of our guys, and then seven killed. And so now we're like, I don't know, this war's got more cost than we expected, and Iran is doing better militarily than we expected, and so we'll open up the straight of hor moves right away, will you? because it doesn't look like you did. Still close.

Well, there's been some new footage of a tanker getting attacked by the Iranians. So look, none of this is a surprise. This is all of what we had been warning about prior to getting involved, prior to attacking Iran. But Trump did it anyway. And it's just, Jake, it just feels, I know a lot of Americans feel hopeless because if there's widespread displeasure over the fact that we got involved in this, right? Poll after poll shows that. Trump still gets dragged into it.

It feels hopeless for the American people. Because if you can't rely on or fall back on our democratic process to elect the right leaders. And our leaders constantly lie to us when they're campaigning. Obviously, Trump presented himself as the peace candidate as an anti-war, anti-interventionist type of person. Obviously he was lying. We're now talking about toppling, you know, Cuba.

There was a military operation in Ecuador that we didn't even cover because we were at, we didn't have enough time to cover it. Like we are involved in so many different conflicts right now simultaneously. And so it feels hopeless, right? But the only thing that gives me hope is the fact that you do have younger Americans getting super active, super involved, very engaged. And it's not just leftist. It's not just left-winger.

We're talking about Americans on the left and the right, young people who didn't grow up on Fox News, seeing this for exactly what it is, feeling the economic repercussions more than anyone, to be quite frank. And I do think that there are going to be some changes in the future when it comes to this country and whether or not we do Israel's bidding. I mean, that's the exact reason why you have Benjamin Netanyahu cozing up with India. Because he knows, like, he can read the tea leaves, okay? Israel's days, as far as U.S. support for Israel, unwavering support, those days are numbered. Yeah, last two things here, because the reason, like, one of the things that's taken into account the least in American politics is independence. Independence are now the largest

voting block. They are larger than Democrats, they are larger than Republicans. But we almost never talk about them. And independence decide almost all the elections. And you know what the independents have for corporate media that we all grew up with and the politicians and the former generals like Jack Keene, they have a spinning wheel of deuses, okay? Screw you all. The independents don't believe a goddamn thing anymore and they're absolutely right, right? Yes. They've been lied to over and over and over and that's why they're independents. Oh, you told me the Republican Party was going to take care of me. You told me the Democratic

Party was going to take care of me. One of my favorite memes right now, I'm online is, no matter who I vote for, I always get John McCain, right? And so the independents are tired of John McCain. They prefer people who haven't been captured by the donors and by Israel, okay? So now I looked up Jack Keene while we're talking. And so, Anna, you're going to be shocked to find out that he's the president of GSI LLC, which is a consulting firm. They don't say who they consult for. I have some wild guesses, but I'll leave you to guess. And he's also on the board of the institute for the study of war. And those think tanks are funded almost purely by defense contractors.

But it doesn't matter, you don't have to guess any of that, because he's also on the board of General Dynamics, a defense contractor. So if you see a former general on television or anywhere in the media, it is exceedingly likely that they actually profit from war, very literally. The more war we do, the more money they get paid by the defense contractors, that they almost all work for now. So some of the biggest liars in the country are the people who are pretending to be the most patriotic.

And we're all sick of their lies. They lied us into Iraq, they lied us into Iran, and now our guys are coming home in coffins, and they're being gravely injured, and now our prices are up, and every single thing about this war sucks. And Anna, final thing, my hope is the dam is breaking. I remember during the Iraq war, we're the old. oldest show in online media history, we were on the air, okay? And Ben Mangwes and I were screaming, no!

And everybody, 99% of media was like, this is a great idea, Patriot, support their troops! You have radicals, you guys love Saddam Hussein, right? Now a majority of the country is like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, spare me that Jake Tapper, no interest in your horse crap. And so the dam is totally broken, the walls are breached. So I don't know what the establishment is going to do when the American people turn on them. Well, I mean, they usually have some tricks up their sleeves. But I don't know.

I mean, it seems like, again, Israel's days of endless support from the United States are numbered. We got to take a break. When we come back for the second hour of the show, we'll talk a little bit about the latest in Lindsay Graham's unhinged, absolutely deranged commentary about more war, not just in the Middle East, but in other parts of the world as well. Come 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, wait, I don't 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 gonna 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 f- Jank, you still there? Andrew? Oh, well, at least I got Noble Mo. It was really just one tape. The whole thing is wild. It's in my shoes. This is my shoes.

Hi, I'm Brett Ehrlich with Breaking News. with Brett Ehrlich. This is breaking news with Brett Ehrlich. Hi. Red Ehrlich here. According to EPA head Scott Pruitt, climate change is not happening. He cited a meme on Facebook he saw. When pressed to back up this source, he said it must be accurate because the watermark said it was made by a scientist. So your move, truth? After a workout, have some beers. You ever played quarters? Back on T.YT. Janganana with you guys and Michelle Ferris just joined. And we appreciate you, Michelle. Anna, what's next?

Lindsay Grant, like someone needs to put him in his place. Let's just put it that way because Homeboy thinks he's president. Let's get into it. To my friends in Saudi Arabia, I've been your biggest champion. I think the crown prince has taken Saudi Arabia in a completely different direction in a good way. But here's what I want to say to Saudi Arabia tonight. I'm willing to do a mutual defense agreement with your country to give you protection and perpetuity. Under the agreement I've been pushing and I hope we can continue to talk about, if you're attacked by Iran, we would go to war for you.

It appears that the senator from South Carolina is now experiencing delusions where he believes that he is the president of the United States and can make deals with foreign countries like Saudi Arabia. But, Jake, I don't know, maybe I'm suffering from amnesia. Maybe there was some election that I forgot about where the senator, unfortunately, from South Carolina, got elected as president and is now making security agreements with Saudi Arabia. Yeah, so there's two interesting parts of this story. One is the outrageous lies of Lindsey Graham, including the implicit lie that he's in charge of foreign policy for America. But secondly, and very interestingly these days, he's getting called out by others on the right in a very significant way. So it looks like come up and is in Lindsey Graham's future, Anna. But the only problem is I think that he might actually kind of enjoy that type of thing. Oh my God.

Okay. All right. I don't want to think about anything that Lindsay Graham might enjoy. But for now, why don't we move on to some of the unhinged things he's been saying, during his cable news appearances. So he has started making threats against US allies who, you know, want to do the smart thing and stay out of war with Iran. And that includes Saudi Arabia, by the way.

Now, the State Department issued mandatory departure orders for diplomats in Saudi Arabia following Iran's attacks on the embassy in Riyadh. Now, the Saudi Defense Ministry said that the embassy had been attacked by two drones, resulting in limited fire and minor damage to the building. Now, Senator Graham tried to use that attack to basically goad Saudi Arabia into joining the United States and Israel in attacking Iran. Here's what he posted on X. It is my understanding the kingdom refuses to use their capable military as a part of an effort

to end the barbaric and terrorist Iranian regime who has terrorized the region and killed seven Americans. Question, why should America do a defense agreement with a country like the kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is unwilling to join a fight of mutual interest? Okay, first of all, there is reporting indicating that Saudi Arabia was egging Jared Kushner on to essentially convince his father-in-law, Donald Trump, to go to war with Iran. And it looks like that did happen, okay? On top of that, though, Saudi Arabia, yes, is getting attacked by Iran.

Our, you know, installations, U.S. installations in Saudi Arabia specifically are getting attacked by Iran. And I'm sorry, is there a problem with the war you ordered? Mohamed bin Salman? Is there a problem with the war you ordered? And by the way, the U.S. is supposed to be defending Saudi Arabia. there are ally, but we don't have the capacity to do that because we depleted our interceptors. So we're using those capabilities specifically to protect Israel, not our other allies, including Saudi Arabia. Anyway, yeah, go ahead.

Let me just jump in on the Saudi Arabia for a second. So both the Saudis, Israelis, and the Americans were way overly arrogant at the beginning of this war. They thought, no, what could Iran do to us, right? Well, they're finding out. They are finding out. And the Saudis made the mistake, and so to the UAE, of thinking that America was going to protect them because there's American bases on there, right? What they didn't realize is America doesn't care about Americans, let alone Saudis or the

citizens of the United Arab Emirates. We reserved all of our defenses for Israel. So that's why they're so livid in Saudi Arabia. They're like, you want me to join the war? We're the ones getting bombed. We got no defenses here. And Israel is the one that wanted this war the most. They're completely defended.

And now you want me to risk more of my guys for Israel's war? Nah, this is a bridge too far. And we showed you guys a couple of days ago, financial time story of some of the Gulf partners now saying, you know what, guys, we're spending all our money defending ourselves. So I guess we don't have money for any more investments. in America or Israel. So they're super pissed. Good.

It's about time our government learns that there are real consequences to getting dragged into fighting wars for a foreign country. But Lindsey Graham continued with his post on X, saying that Americans are dying and the U.S. is spending billions, in fact, one to two billion dollars a day, to dislodge the terrorist Iranian regime that threatens the region. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia seems to be issuing statements and doing things in the background that are marginally helpful, but unwilling to participate in military operations to end the reign of terror coming out of Iran. Well, it could be because the Saudis understand that they would be dealing with a real reign of terror if they actually got dragged into a war like the morons in the United States government did. He ends the statement with hopefully Gulf Cooperation Council.

Countries will get more involved as this fight is in their backyard. If you are not willing to use your military now, when are you willing to use it? By the way, it's very easy for Senator Graham in his cushy office to post ex posts about war when he doesn't have to worry about his own life being at Jeopardy. Now he ended with an onymus. Hopefully this changes soon. If not, consequences will follow. So now we're threatening Saudi Arabia, an ally with consequences that they don't get

dragged into a war that we stupidly got dragged into on behalf of Israel. Now, according to a community note that was issued on Graham's Post, which was translated from Arabic, it said, claims that Saudi Arabia refuses to use its military forces are misleading since March 1, Saudi defenses have intercepted dozens of Iranian drones and missiles targeting Riyadh. But that's not what Senator Graham is talking about. He's talking about offensive capabilities. He wants Saudi Arabia to join the United States and Israel in attacking Iran. So here's more from Graham. Let's take a look. If President Trump had not done this, they could have had a nuclear capability within months, a week's, not months. And if they had a weapon, they would use it.

To all those who don't believe that, you're stupid, you're a fool, and I hate to be so harsh. People got Hitler wrong. Donald Trump is the right man at the right time. To our allies, if you can't join this fight, what fight are you going to join? And look, it's bad enough that he's trying to escalate the situation in the Middle East. But Lindsey Graham is never satisfied. He wants to metal in other countries and engage in other conflicts as well. Not only does he want regime change in Iran, he's looking for regime change in other parts of the world. And he's issuing threats to anyone who gets in the way. Take a look. I'm not looking for a fair fight. If we get in a fight, I want to win it. I want to win it quick. I'm in Miami. You see this hat? Free Cuba.

Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us to Spain. You won't let us use your air bait, our air bases in your country to stop a homicidal regime from getting nuclear weapons that terrorize the world to Lebanon. There is a military leader in charge of the Lebanese army that I don't trust as far as I can throw him. He is willfully ignoring Hezbollah. He's not disarming Hezbollah. There were rockets fired from areas that were supposed to be cleared by the Lebanese army. Let's get somebody in charge of the Lebanese military that will use it. To Saudi Arabia, our embassy was hit in Riyadh. Do you not have an obligation to join the fight with us?

You have to do that. So if you do not believe the American embassy being attacked in Riyadh would trigger mutual self-defense, maybe we shouldn't do a treaty with you. To our friends in the United Arab Emirates, you joined the Abraham Accords when nobody else would. You've been a great partner, but you said today publicly at the UN, your country would not be used to join the fight against the Ayatollah's regime. This is so disappointing. Free Cuba, how about free the American people from Neo-Cuburn?

warhawks like Lindsay Graham who steal our money in the form of taxes and funnel it over to these stupid interventions that don't benefit the American people at all. Man, there's a lot to say about that video jank, but I've been talking for a while, so I'll go to you. Yeah. So Lindsey Graham's now the president. He's giving directives to every country on earth. Now, to Uruguay, what I say is your soccer team's a little overrated in the World Cup,

and that's why you have to serve Israel, okay? So if you don't, you're going to be in a lot of trouble, okay, you Nazis? Now, everybody who opposes Israel and war are the modern-day Nazis. You understand me? We're all going to die from nukes. Now, now, not in months, but in weeks. Not in hours, but in minutes. Not in minutes, but in seconds.

You're all going to die right now if you don't go to war for Israel and to Luxembourg. I say you might be a small country, but you can sacrifice every man, woman, and child there for Israel. If you don't, you're not a good ally. And to Irkutsk, Senator Irkuts is on a risk port, it's not a real country. And to Yakutsk, no, that's also on a risk port. No, there's no amount of war that will satiate Lindsay Graham. So, Walmart extreme, Neo-Con, gets tons of money from defense contractors, and of course, tons of money from the Israeli lobby.

Yep, that's exactly right. Now, Megan Kelly, who's kind of been on one, on this topic especially, decided to be openly critical about Graham's, you know, ridiculous fearmongering and war cheerleading. Here's what she said. When did Lindsay Graham become our president? In the past 24 hours, he's threatened Lebanon, Cuba, the Saudis, the wider Arab region, and now, Czech's notes, Spain.

By the way, Spain is so lit. Oh, I love it so much. Spain's like, what are you guys doing? This is dumb. We want nothing to do with this. Anna, I got to tell you the best story. Olay, okay. O'lei.

O'le, O'le. O'le. O'le, O'le. O'le. Okay. O'le. This is an awesome story of Israel's ironically bringing the world together in their hatred of them,

right? And not because they're Jewish, you knuckleheads, despite the fact that they're Jewish, because they've done so much war, so much damage, so much genocide. Anyways, so Spain is not going to participate in this barbarism. And God bless you, Spain. In Turkey, they're so happy that Spain is not participating in the war that before soccer match in Turkey, the Turkish fans started saying the Spanish national anthem.

What? That's amazing. Yeah, that's an awesome story. That is an awesome story. No, I mean, look, it's, you know why? Because it's inspiring to see a country stand up to Israel. Yes. A European country stand up to Israel.

So I love to see it. And look, Lindsay, I don't know, I don't know what they've got on Lindsay Graham. I think that there's some compromise. That's my speculation. Oh, for sure. But aside from that, Homeboys bought, let's take a look at the APAC tracker, $4.6 million from APAC. Yeah.

By the way. Yeah. So in my entire lifetime, Lindsay Graham has been on television approximately two and a half million times, right? Unfortunately. Yeah, I mean, I don't know that a senator's been on television more than Lindsey Graham in the last 20, 30 years, right? Not once that a single TV network clarify, he's taken millions of dollars from the Israeli

lobby. They don't think that's relevant? They don't think it's relevant that a greasy politician has taken $4.6 million from one specific lobby, the same exact lobby that he supports 100%, and that he lies for on their air. But they keep that fact from their audience, because then you might find out who our politicians work for. All right, we got to take a quick break. When we come back, you know what, we should do that Jake Tapper story next, since you just

made that excellent point about the media, because they'd be half an action. actual like Israeli spies on their programs to speak on behalf of the Iranians, by the way. And I'm not kidding. So stick around for that story and more. We'll be right back. Let's go to members on t.y.t.com. Winston Smith the second says, I'm a registered independent, but I'm torn. I feel I might need to re-register as a Democrat to help primary the dem incumbents. What said, I like that idea. I like that you're an independent. But please, you got to vote in the primary. So I would do that if I was ill pessimistic progressive says if Saturday Arabia was on the side of the Palestinians, Lindsay would be calling them terrorists just like Iran. Billion percent.

Haiku Dragon says, I'm going to join the fight to get corporate politicians out of office left and right. There you go. Love it. Operation Consequences.com you just sign that pledge and the pledge just says, hey, I'm going to vote in my own primary. I don't have to cross parties. But if you vote for war, you vote for Israel getting another dollar from us. I'm out. You're never getting my vote. Never. Go cry. Go cry to your Israeli friends. Okay. By the way, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing if you're an independent or a Democrat who decides to register as a Republican to vote for a potential anti-Zionist on the right. I mean, just think strategically about it. Yeah. Well, to your point, Anna, America 1776 USA.

In the primaries. Says, I'm so grateful for your channel and your audience, especially in times like this. You can feel the love and concern for America in every live stream. Thank you, brother.

TYT.com slash join. All right, Anna, what's next? Let's get right to our next story. You've been talking to Iranians on the ground about the strikes and about Iranian leadership going forward. How do the Iranians you're talking to? How do they see the future unfolding in Iranians? The responses from Iranians that I've spoken to has been overwhelmingly in favor of the United States and Israeli action on the ground. The united call from the Iranian people on the ground is that they want the crown prince Reza Pahlavi to lead a transition government.

It isn't Venezuela. It's not the same system and you have to deconstruct that system, the IRGC, in order to have genuine change and stability. Interesting stuff. Oh, it's interesting stuff. Well, what's actually interesting is the fact that the woman you all just heard from is no Iranian expert. In fact, Emily Schrader is a hardcore Zionist who is married to a former IDF soldier, lives in Israel, and works for JNS, which is an Adelson-funded media syndicate out of Israel. So why is Jake Tapper bringing her on? to speak on behalf of the Iranian people who are currently being bombed to smithereens because it's something that she has been lobbying for for years. That's the real question here, Jank. Yeah, well, so there's two things here that I'm pretty livid about. One is Jake Tapper bringing on someone working for the Israelis and pretending that she's representing Iranians.

So that's a massive lie on the part of Jake Tapper. and CNN. So are they pretend to be objective? They pretend to be journalists. Are they gonna correct that? Or are they gonna let their audience be misled into believing that she's actually helping the Iranian people? And then later I'm gonna tell you about how Jake Tapper is attacking drop site news as a terrorist

organization. What? Yes. Are you serious? Yes. Wow. So Jake Tapper has gone full board, Israel first. No anzips or butts and just flat out lying to his audience.

These scumbags, honestly, they've got nothing else. All they do is label anything they don't like as terrorist or anti-Semitic. That's all they've got. They never engage on the substance of the arguments ever. They'll call you an anti-Semite, but they'll never call you wrong. Notice that. Anyway, let's get to who Emily Schrader is because it's important for you guys to know. And by the way, something else to be very aware of, whenever you see a retired military general,

giving their opinion or their expert analysis on issues of war and peace on cable news shows or network news shows, just look them up real quick and see what they're doing for income after they retired from the military. Because they're either working for defense contractors or a consulting firm that consults on issues of foreign policy, usually consulting on behalf of foreign countries, just be aware of how this propaganda game works. But on January 22nd, Emily Schrader actually disclosed something on X that everyone should be aware of. And I do appreciate her candor here because essentially she outed herself as an Israeli spy. Okay. She says, big announcement. As Iran approaches two weeks of a complete communications blackout, it doesn't have to remain this way. I am thrilled to announce. I am part of a historic

highly confidential alliance of Israeli tech veterans, 8,200 alumni, and Iranian underground operatives. Together, we are building the digital and financial infrastructure for a G7 nation before the regime falls, starting with two stealth ventures that simultaneously severed the dictatorships, two main chokeholds, connectivity and capital. Okay, so basically, this is the kind of work that she's doing. She works for the Israeli government. And here she is on CNN, speaking on behalf of the Iranians. It's just sick. So let's take a look at what she's been up to over at JNS. That's the Israeli media outlet that's funded by the Adelson's. Here's a few examples. One video. The IRGC's secret eight-year blueprint to control Iran. I'm pretty sure they're already controlling Iran.

The case for regime change in Iran and the risks no one talks about. And the risks, of course, are about how it would be terrible if we don't attack Iran. Final video. How the Iran nuclear talks could backfire on America. Those are just some of her recent videos. But she's been putting out pro-Iran war propaganda for years. In fact, I decided to call her out on it last year. This is from June of 2025, Jank, when I was on the Pierce Morgan show, I noticed.

that she was going to be on the panel. I had seen some of her pro-war propaganda. Wanted to call her out on it. Take a look. I just want to mention quickly that Emily is one of these Israelis who's going around doing propaganda tours on manufacturing consent for the United States to go to war with Iran on behalf of Israel. We can't make the same mistake that we did in Iraq. We should not go to war in Iran on behalf of Israel.

If Israel wants to go to war with Iran, they should do it themselves without our military support. and that includes taxpayer dollars. Go do it on your own. Go ahead and a list, baby girl. Go do your thing. But leave America out of it. Our men and women and our armed forces shouldn't die on behalf of your country, period. Well, she didn't put a uniform on and she's not risking her life.

But unfortunately, she got her way. And the U.S. did get dragged into a war with Iran. Now, the notion that she speaks on behalf of the Iranian people is laughable to say the least. And it is shocking that Jake Tapper thought it was a good idea to have her on the show, some sort of expert who doesn't have a massive, unbelievable bias on this issue. Go ahead, Jank. Yeah, well, I don't think that that's shocking at all. I think Jake Tapper wanted war for against Iran.

And he wanted it because he loves Israel. So that's not unclear. I mean, he's bringing on Israeli spies and not telling his audience. And no one thinks Emily Schrader is unbiased. And if you were a journalist, you would look into the background of the people that you brought on, right? My God, if anyone brought on someone who was connected to Hamas or Hezbollah, CNN, and everybody in the media organizations will rip their heads off, right? But they have Israeli spies on all the time. In fact, her whole job in that effort that she herself described was to trick people into believing that the Iranians were doing an uprising.

And oh my God, we're doing this on behalf of the Iranians. And that's exactly why Jake Tapper brings her on to do that propaganda that she promised in her organization. So he aids and abets her lies to the American people. And by the way, to be fair to Jake Tapper and CNN, almost all of mainstream media and cable news does this. They never tell you that the people that are on their air actually work for Israel or part of different Israeli organizations or doing Israeli propaganda And if you call them out on that they would say to you well that is true that is factual But you're an anti-Semite for saying things that are true You should be canceled and never allowed on cable news which makes sense because on cable news is nothing but lies

Posing as objective journalism did you hear what she said? She said now this is not like Venezuela we were going to have to deconstruct the regime. Well, for America, it's not in our interest to do anything, but, you know, we killed their top leaders, we killed the Ayatollah. How many, you know, we killed their top 49 leaders, another 49, another 49, how long do we have to go? And what the Israelis want is, no, full regime change. That's why Schrader was saying that on air.

And how are we going to get the regime change, Anna? Well, we need ground troops. Now, is Israel going to send their ground troops? No way. The only people we're talking about sending ground troops right now is American ground troops. Foughter for Israel's war machine, but Jake Tapper won't tell you that. He won't tell you that Israel's not sending any ground troops. He won't tell you that Israel is pushed for this war for 20, 30 years.

He won't tell you that there are no American interest in that war. There weren't any when we started. There certainly aren't any now. He'll only tell you this pretty little lies about, oh my God, we're going to help the Iranian people. That's why Israel bombed their oil facilities and rain poison down on Tehran, right? That's why we hit a school and killed 165 schoolchildren to help Iran, right? Jake, right? No, what a tremendous liar.

But all of them, they go out there and they do propaganda for a different country day in and day out. So look, Larry Ellison is wasting his money buying CNN to turn it into an Israeli propaganda. It's already Israeli propaganda. And I guarantee you that Jake Tapper, once the Ellisons are in charge, they won't look at that and go, how embarrassing. Doesn't get anything right, lies to his audience, pretends to be objected when he's the exact. No, they're like, perfect, they'll promote him, they'll move him up the chain and to a better time slot. That's my prediction. We'll see what happens. And I promised you what Tapper said about drop site news. So drop site. Okay. Yeah, go ahead. I just wanted to mention one quick thing,

because in that video that we showed you earlier, Emily Schrader is, you know, cheerleading Reza Pahlavi as the next leader of Iran should the IRC be toppled. And I just want to remind you all that even the president of the United States, who unfortunately was stupid enough to get dragged into this war, has said that Pahlavi doesn't actually enjoy widespread support in Iran, and he threw him under the bus. And if you don't remember, this is what I'm talking about. It would seem to me that somebody from within might maybe would be more appropriate. I've said that he looks like a very nice person. But it would seem to me that somebody that's there that's currently popular if there's such a person.

You know, it'd be better if it's someone who's living in Iran and actually enjoy some popularity. And by the way, he repeated similar remarks today, or actually it was yesterday. Take a look. I would like to see people that are inside go. Now they talk about the son of the Shah. They talk about other people. But, you know, hasn't been there in many, many years. Yeah, Homeboy hasn't lived in Iran for like 47 years.

He knows nothing about Iran. I'm sorry. The diaspora knows nothing about the country that they're trying to call, you know, the shots for. I don't know anything about Armenia. I mean, I do know things about Armenia, but I would never dare speak on behalf of the Armenian people. I'm an American. But anyway, back to you, Jank. Tell me about why Jake Tapper thinks the fine reporters, actual fine reporters that drop site are terrorists. Okay, hold on. I'm going to get there in a second. I just wanted to say two things about Pahlavi and the situation. So has anybody on K. news ever clarified that Rezapalovie went to Israel already and promised that they would be great allies to Israel, meaning don't worry, I'll work with you, I'll do whatever you tell

me, right? No, nope, they've never mentioned that Rezapolavi is an alliance with Israel already, right? Because that would give the game away. God forbid you do the news, you don't cover the news, you cover up the news, that's the point of Jake Tapper and CNN. Okay, and this is amazing, There's now reporting, you know how Trump said, well, we don't want Pallavi. We had two or three guys picked out. And Trump's amazing. He just says those things out loud. He's not supposed to say it, but he can't help himself, right?

And he said, but unfortunately, they also died in the bombing. Okay, now there's reporting out that it was not unfortunate that Israel gave us that intelligence, and they knew that it would kill the two or three other options America had to replace the Ayatollah, because they don't want those options. They want the Shah who's already sworn an allegiance to Israel. So they made the war much, much harder and regime change even harder because they insisted it's got to be the dictator that is going to serve Israel. So they killed the other options, so we don't have them anymore.

But did Jake Tapper or anyone in cable news or CNN tell you that? No, they constantly bury the news, bury it, make sure the American people don't find out, lead him into another war and another war. Jake, you're going to write a book afterwards, right? No one could have seen the disaster of the Iran war. Nobody could have seen it coming. Nobody could have seen that, oh my God, Israel, it turns out, gives money to 94% of Congress. Nobody knew that. Yeah, nobody knew that if you had it your way, because you're not in the news business. You're in the propaganda business. So now to drop site news. Job site news has done brilliant reporting on Epstein's emails, Larry Ellison's emails,

Ahud Barak's emails, and they show that Epstein tried to help Israel over and over again, worked with the Israeli prime minister, had Israeli spies staying at his place, procured cyber weapons for Israel. Now, all that is very inconvenient for traditional media. They're like, well, God, if we told people that, then they would find out who Epstein actually worked with and worked for. So let's bury it. Cover up the news, cover up the news. So then this guy on X, A.G. Hamilton 29, attacks Ryan Grimm, the main reporter for drop site news, and says that he, Ryan Grimm's terror propaganda and fake news site, they're referring to drop site news, denying that there were any rapes on 10-7, et cetera.

So I don't care about the particular controversy that they're talking about here. That's for them to deal with. What I care about is then Jake Tapper takes that and goes, oh, terror website doing propaganda for all these like repost. So pathetic. So pathetic. Jake Tapper wouldn't know what journalism is if it literally slapped him in his face. He doesn't do journalism. Okay. He's an actor who reads off a teleprompter and pretends to be a journalist. A real journalist would pour over the Epstein files, including the leaked Epstein emails, to figure out, okay, what really was behind Epstein? Because clearly there was more to him than a disgusting pedophile. Yes, he was a disgusting pedophile, but there was more to him than that. But here's the thing. It would be inconvenient truth for Jake Tapper to report on. So instead, he decides to stay away from that story. By the way, fun add-on to this jank is the fact that, you know, the war in Iran has been dubbed Operation Epic Fury by the Trump administration.

But Americans have been calling it Operation Epstein Fury, including many right-wingerers on social media. In fact, I think right-winger are the ones who dubbed it and it's hilarious. And now the ADL is coming out and saying, that's anti-Semitic. But wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Eppsie's a random Jewish guy, right? Like Harvey Weiss is a random Jewish guy. Are we not allowed to criticize Harvey Weinstein, who's a sick rapist? So the only reason why it could possibly be anti-Semitic is if they think the war is

for Israel and Epstein worked for Israel. Oops, you just told that yourself, ADL, okay? Inconvenient, inconvenient truths. I love it when people get jealous of Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grimm or any of the fantastic, excellent reporters that we have in this country. I love it when people are jealous. Yeah. Love it.

Yeah. And last thing on that, Anna, because New York Times, Washington, Post, CNN, et cetera, all you guys. So either prove that drop site news reporting is not true because I don't want to report things that aren't true, right? Or prove that or join them and say, oh, my God, these are amazing. If every email of Epstein and Ahud, Barak and all those guys, well, not a hood Barack because that's obvious. But if Epstein in every one of his interactions was trying to help Bolivia, that would be amazing news.

That would be shocking news. If every interaction he's trying to help Russia or China, everyone in cable news were to reporter 24-7, don't dare try to deny it, Jake. If Epstein was like, I got to help Russia, Russia, Russia, you're like, oh my God, the Russians are taking over, right? He says Israel, Israel, they're like, they ignore the drop site news stories. They don't debunk them because they can't because they are true. So instead, now Jake is calling them terror propaganda for doing accurate news reporting on his beloved Epstein and his beloved Ahud Barak and his beloved Israel. So that's the sick people that have been running national media our whole lives.

Their job was to lie to you in mass while pretending to be objective. Yeah. All right. We got to take a quick break. We will be right back. I am scary. I am threatening. I'm Darth Vader. Back on TYT. Let's go to tYT.com members. Teddy Lucy Linda says, hey Tapper, I signed petitions for drop site every day. Come get me. Wong Jones says Jake Tapper in 10 years. Who knew? No, no, he has no shame at all. He literally write the book of no one could have known that it was Israel all along. Matthew W. says, like Jeffrey Sachs stated, Israel couldn't fight for one day without the help of the U.S. That's why they got a leach off of us.

Yeah, I said it. Kiss my ass, Jake. And that's exactly what they're doing. Where's my $300 billion? Did you ever tell your audience that they've taken $300 billion from us and add $30 billion in the middle of the genocide? Did you tell them about that robbery? No, beloved Israel. You owe them the money, you anti-Sabites.

That's what Jake says every day. A bunch of disgusting liars working for a different government. All right, Uriah Heap says, during my service in the Navy, I spent six months on a carrier cruising the Mediterranean. Before this, we had training on what to do if you saw a shipmate drowning. The first rule you never broke is to approach this person from the front as they could pull you under with them. It kind of reminds me the sycophants of Donald Trump and himself.

They always come at him from the front, and invariably, he pulls them down. in his panic to survive. None of them has ever learned and they don't, they go down because of this. Uriah, I loved that analogy. So that's why I read it even though it was long. You're absolutely right. They never see it coming. Trump drags them down every single time. But you know what, though? Maybe he does it to Israel. Got that bet all day long. All right, back on TYT, Jenkins, Anna. We got more news. Let's get to it. Last night, I'm Pierce Morgan, which is the Jerry Springer of political television,

where people gather to throw chairs at one another and determine paternity. Pierce Morgan, who has sort of made a mockery of the entire industry by putting on screen, whatever dregs are still willing to go on screen with Pierce Morgan. You're only criticized by one side because you choose to air only one side, and you choose to ignore or even silence the other. I'm a journalist. You are a propagandist. Oh, and facts don't care about your feelings. Jake, it turns out that Ben Shapiro is anti-Semitic.

He has a huge problem with Pierce Morgan inviting Dave Smith, who is Jewish, onto his program to share the anti-Israel perspective. What do you think about that? Yeah, so that's why we told you all along. This has nothing new with Jewish Americans. So this has to do with people who are loyal to Israel. That is a different category. Yes, it has some Jewish Americans like Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin, Mark Levin, etc. But it also has plenty of Christians like Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz.

So it's just a matter of who you're loyal to. And now Pierce Morgan is beginning to realize, oh, turns out Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin are only loyal to Israel. I know, color me shocked. But let's give you the details of his awakening. In fact, Pierce Morgan had the legendary Jeffrey Sachs on his program today. And Jeffrey Sachs is also highly critical of Israel, used to live in Israel, and also happens to be Jewish himself. So you're absolutely right to point out the criticism of Israel is not about criticizing Judaism or Jewish people. It's about criticizing a foreign country that has carried out a genocide and keeps dragging the United States into wars.

we should not be involved in. Now, Shapiro was criticizing Morgan for inviting Dave Smith and other critics of Israel onto his program. Now, Smith is a harsh critic of the Israeli government, but at no point have I ever heard any of his commentary go in the direction of hatred toward Jewish people or, more importantly, hatred toward America, which is what Ben Shapiro accuses Dave Smith of engaging in. But Morgan brings on plenty of pro-Israel guests as well. And you know what?

Jake, I want to give our side a lot of credit because I don't like bother Pierce Morgan about having pro-Israel voices on. And neither do you. I mean, I did bring up Alan Dershowitz and how, you know, there are some problems with him, right? But other than that, pro-Israel perspective is a valid perspective that should be debated, right? But when it comes to Ben Shapiro, the anti-Israel perspective, not allowed. Take a look. Well, on the subject of Iran and U.S. foreign policy specifically, recent guests have included Masi Allen Al-Anjad, Lisa Dafthari, Patrick Bet David, Carla Sands, Robert Neal, Goldie Gamari, Jonathan Conrichis, Alan Derswitz, Alika Lebon, Ambassador John Bolton, General Wesley Clark,

General Mark Kimet, a former UN prosecutor accusing Iran of mass murder, ambassador, Mike Huckabee, former Vice President Mike Pence, Eric Weinstein, Josh Hammer, former Israeli Prime Minister Nathali Bennett, and the IDF spokesman Nadav Shoshani. Now, it's unlikely that Ben is talking about any of these people because they are either vehemently pro-Israel or to some extent they are supportive

of attacking Iran to destroy its regime. So what is he really talking about? Well, we know he doesn't like Dave Smith, and flat out refuses to debate him, which strikes me as pretty cowardly. You can make up your own minds about why he refuses. And what Ben really takes issue with is that among the many guests supporting his worldview, specifically supporting Israel, we also invite many people who don't support his worldview and don't support the Israeli government.

Now, I think Pierce Morgan makes a really great point about Ben Shapiro's unwillingness to debate someone like Dave Smith. it is interesting that he's quick to debate like a pink-haired college student in their freshman year on culture war issues. But when it comes to someone who's well read on the issue of Israel, someone like Dave Smith, Ben Shapiro refuses to engage in any debate with them. And it's not just Dave Smith, anyone in, you know, holding the position we hold, Jank. Have you seen Ben Shapiro have a single debate with anyone with our position ever? Not once. No, no, because he's smart enough to know that he can't possibly win that debate. And so, and especially against Dave Smith, because Ben Shapiro and so many, all of Israel

first is one trick pony. All they have is anti-SAM, I cancel you, you're not allowed to talk, right? And that's literally what he's trying to do in mass with peers here. First, he's trying to pressure Pierce Morgan, do not let the other side even talk, don't let them on, I have deemed them anti-Semites. They should be banished, right? And now when that didn't work, he's like, why wouldn't I have both sides on? And if your side is so smart and good and right, then you'll easily win, right?

So now they've switched to banish Pierce Morgan entirely. He shall now henceforth be canceled. Hey, it doesn't work that way anymore. That's what you used to with, you just called Jake Tapper, you'd call CNN, and you go, hey, get him off the air. And Jake would be like right away, sir, absolutely Ben Shapiro and Israel. Of course, sir, you are all canceled, you anti-Semites, right? But now you can't do that with our show, with Tucker Carlson, with Pierce Morgan, with Megan Kelly. And it's driving them crazy. I love it so much. I love it so much. It's one of the best developments in media.

And by the way, I mean, it makes Pierce Morgan show interesting to watch. Especially if you don't know where you land on a particular debate or issue, you get to hear. diverse opinions and you get to hear them debated in real time. That's a good thing. Yeah, so for example, I don't mind having the Israelis on at all. And oftentimes I'll take on two or three of them at the same time, right? Same. That's because we crush Israeli propagandists for a living.

Can't wait, bring me more, okay? You know why we're so confident? Because we know we're right. And we can prove it and we have proven it over and over again until Ben Shapiro, picked up his little skirt and ran away. Oh, no, here comes Jake and Dave Smith. I got a run away. What happened?

I thought you were a master debater. Remember when he used to have his workers put out all those edited things from debates and be like, oh, yeah, he's so cool. And he crushed you. All right, where you at, bitch? Where are you at? Actually, to Pierce Morgan's credit, he did call Ben Shapiro out on that. Because remember Ben Shapiro's whole thing here is, oh, Pierce Morgan uncensored is like the Jerry Springer of political media.

Okay, but you're the one who popularized those. Ben Shapiro destroys left winger. Ben Shapiro crushes. I mean, you engage in that. Like that blood sport culture, you engage in that. Anyway, now, one of the issues that Pierce Morgan had with Ben Shapiro's commentary here is the fact that, you know, Ben Shapiro, says, I don't go on Pierce Morgan show anymore because he has Nazi and Nazi adjacent guests on. And he did give some examples. And he said that, you know, Nick Fuentes didn't get any pushback from Pierce Morgan. Which I totally, which is nonsense. Pierce Morgan actually ended up backfiring. He attempted to do pushback.

He did push back actually. And none of it like really landed. But nonetheless, here is Morgan expressing how unhappy he is with Ben Shapiro's dishonest reflection of that interview. I just stopped appearing on his show. Why? Well, honestly, he kept bringing on actual Nazis and the Nazi adjacent and then treated them all too often as voices worthy of a large audience. Like, for example, these people. I believe that Jewish supremacy is the greatest threat to America. And I think it's the greatest threat to the world today. I truly believe that. You think Hitler was very cool? Yes.

And it's outrageously disingenuous that the clips he showed did not include the parts of those interviews, where I called out every single one of them about things I didn't agree with. His montage of the same interviews could have looked like this. You sound like a Nazi. I mean, why do you say that? That's literally what Nazis would have said in World War II. You think if half your family had been wiped out by very cool, Hitler, you'd still think he was very cool? Or would you think that actually he was a despicable

monster who murdered 12 million people? So obviously Pierce Morgan does push back, you know, this whole, it's just, Jake, it's so wild. Like this whole debate about platforming coming from Ben Shapiro who built a career as a free speech warrior after left-wing students would protest his appearances on college campuses. Yeah. So, I mean, look, Look, let's address all the hypocrisies. First of all, you know, I'm all about freedom of speech. I'm totally against cancel culture. Candace Owens, you disagree with me?

Fired. Brett Cooper, you disagree with me slightly? Fired, fired, okay? Anyone else who want to say anything against Israel? Fired, fired, fired, okay, yeah, sure. Yeah, you're against cancel culture. The guy who's literally saying we should cancel the guests on Pierce Morgan, that peers should be forced to cancel them, and if he doesn't, peers should be canceled.

But he's against cancel culture? Nah, that was a gimmick, guys. Total out of gimmick. And he's a giant liar because I watched that interview that Pierce Morgan and Nick Fuentes had. And Pierce Morgan, all he did was push back. He attacked Fuentes from minute one to the very last minute. Now, Anna and I think that he didn't do it that effectively. I wish he would have been more effective with it.

But did he push back? Absolutely. All he did was push back. So Shapiro was just such a giant lie. And as you should never trust anything he says because you could see with your own eyes. You could watch that interview that peers did with Frentas and you'll know for with absolute certainty that Shapiro is a liar. And then Anna, they're one trick ponies, right? They're a whole anti-Semite thing and we cancel you.

So and what's the whole point of calling people at anti-Semite is so that you remove them from the national conversation. So that every time someone criticized Israel, anti-Semi remove. The semi remove. So until there are no voices against Israel and only voices saying, of course, we should give them hundreds of billions of dollars. Of course we should go to war for them. Of course we should pay trillions of dollars for those wars. And so now anti-Semite, that's another reason why they hate Dave Smith, because anti-Semite

doesn't work with him because he's Jewish. And that drives them crazy. And same thing with Jeffrey Sachs and Glenn Greenwald and all these amazing fighters for peace and decency who are Jewish Americans, right? So since anti-Semite was getting under everyone's nerve, they then switched to Jew-hater, right? Everybody's a Jew-hater, all of America's Jew-haters, because they won't do what Israel says. And that played even poorer. People hated that.

So now they finally switched to America-hater. Why? Because Israel pushed you into this war, and technically you're in the war, so that's it. Anyone who opposes Israel's war? America a hater. But again, bad news for them. That crap used to fly back during the Iraq war because you had traditional media 100% on their side. Now with online media kicking traditional media's ass and all of our audience is getting

larger and larger while Ben's gets smaller and smaller. By the end, it's just going to be Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, and Mark, live in in a room together, going, wait, cancel everybody! We cancel the wall! And only three of them left in the room. Okay, so keep trying to cancel brothers and sisters. You only grow weaker and smaller as you go.

Okay, so in the aftermath of all of this, Megan Kelly reposted Pierce Morgan's response to Ben Shapiro on X. And in response to that, here's what Dave Rubin wrote. Pretty sure Megan got some of the Botox in her brain. And Pierce would sell his mother to a jihadist for a click. Okay, I'm just going to move on. In response, Morgan stated, wow, four months ago, I drove out to do Rubin's podcast at his home in Miami as a personal favor because he's done my show many times. I thought we were friends. Big mistake. He's not friends with anyone. He's a snake, nonetheless.

How wrong could I be? What a treacherous little weasel. Indeed he is, Mr. Morgan. Being Netanyahu's useful idiot has sent him and Shapiro nuts. Jank Wadein said, told you. And said that the reason Dave Rubin and Ben Shapiro turned on you is the same reason Miriam Adelson and Larry Ellison supported Bill Clinton before they supported Donald Trump. Because Israel first doesn't care about anything but Israel. They have no friends. or allegiances other than Israel. Morgan also announced that Rubin would also no longer be welcome on his show. Dave Rubin, like, it's not just that he's a useful idiot and whatever. He doesn't really add anything to any show.

Yeah, they're going to have to change that. Yeah. Sorry, they're going to have to change that term because others are useful idiots. Dave's kind of a useless idiot. Yeah, he is a useless idiot. You're right about that. Yeah. All right, turn it around and do nothing but joy when we return.
