Episode Date: July 31, 2026

Donald Trump is reportedly growing “exasperated” as his top advisers feud over Iran strategy, while new polling shows roughly two-thirds of Americans believe the war is not worth fighting and frustration spreads across the MAGA media ecosystem. Meanwhile, Abdul El-Sayed has taken the lead over Haley Stevens in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, Jared Moskowitz is declaring himself to the right of JD Vance on Iran Thanks to today's sponsors: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at shopify.com/tyt Get 40% OFF the Ground News Vantage Plan when you sign up at ground.news/tyt Stay informed without the media spin at ground.news/tyt Visit www.sleep.me/tyt to get up to $255 off your Chilipad 2.0 with code TYT Use less data, get paid by switching to Noble Mobile: https://go.tyt.com/getnoble Posting a job is easy at upwork.com Check out new podcast series by searching for Future Hindsight wherever you get podcasts Hosts: Cenk Uygur SUBSCRIBE on YOUTUBE ☞  https://www.youtube.com/@TheYoungTurks FOLLOW US ON: FACEBOOK  ☞   https://www.facebook.com/theyoungturks TWITTER  ☞       https://twitter.com/TheYoungTurks INSTAGRAM  ☞  https://www.instagram.com/theyoungturks TIKTOK  ☞          https://www.tiktok.com/@theyoungturks 👕MERCH  ☞      https:/www.shoptyt.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Watch the Hulu original series Furious. Now streaming only on Hulu on Disney Plus. I'm your host, Jane Hugar. I'm going to do the first hour solo for you guys today. A lot of important news like the war in Iran heating up,

us running out of interceptor missiles. It's a big, big problem now. Really no way out of this thing. We're going to talk about that in a minute. But also, devastating. stating polling numbers for Donald Trump to the point where it's splitting MAGA even for that's in the second hour with Elliot, so don't miss that. There's a lot of good polling numbers overall in tonight's show, so as we have the usual set of bad news, Nan Yahoo comes here and lectures us, and we'll break that down for you, and we'll show you every one of his lies. But we also have that good news.

Every poll is heading in our direction, and the one in the Michigan Senate race is probably the most important, let alone the devastating numbers for Trump. So we're gonna get to all of that throughout this show. And then in the revolution segment at 8 o'clock Eastern tonight after the Young Turks, Christian none from the Palestinian territories comes and talk to us about how is it for Christians in the areas that Israel is attacking. So really important conversations, so don't miss that either. But let's get started now.

In the meantime, we're going to be hitting them very hard because it's our term to hit them. They know it's coming. Theriskin is not to do it. But, you know, they tried shooting it last night. So we had five rockets shot going 8,500 miles an hour. And all five rockets were knocked down to the ground. But they nevertheless took a shot. So it's our turn.

And we'll see if we get there with an agreement at some point. But we're going to hit them very hard. So that is in response to an Iranian attack on Tuesday night. That attack is being described as a surprise attack. How could it be a surprise when we're in the middle of a war? A couple of days before that, we had hit them for 13 nights in a row, which was of course not described as surprise attacks. So now we're re-retaliating for their retaliation of our 13 nights of strikes in a row.

And on and on we go deeper and deeper into this space. spiral of war that is an absolute disaster. So as I'm gonna show you here, we hit southern Iran, we hit Keshem Island, but we also apparently hit their oil fields. Now that is a different level of war that could bring us a different level of reaction, which should cause economic collapse. So let's get into it. So CENTCOM put out this statement saying CENTCOM as an end up.

Assets struck dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets in Iran, including military command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance, and defense sites, and maritime capabilities. The strikes aimed to further diminish threats posed by Iran and its proxies to American forces, commercial shipping, and neighboring Gulf countries. So that is what's being described as a heavy wave of strikes. Although that does sound similar to our earlier wave of strikes, that's why that's why that That story about how we might have potentially hit their oil fields is the part that is the most important and what they might be referring to when they say heavy wave of strikes.

So Mario Nafal reported last night, new footage seemed to show the U.S. missile striking, U.S. missile striking Abadon. That's what you're looking at right there, the best we can tell, Iran's oil refining heartland. Now, to be clear, this is unconfirmed, but if the strike was carried out by American forces, that is a very big deal. Well, no matter who it's carried out by, it's going to be a very large deal. So they explain, Mario does. Avadon holds one of the world's oldest and largest refineries, sitting right on the Iraqi border at the head of the Gulf, which makes any strike there carry weight far beyond the target

itself. Washington has spared Iran's energy infrastructure through the entire war, hitting military and maritime sites instead. exactly got hit in Abadam matters enormously. The city has absorbed strikes on its military facilities before, and nothing yet confirms whether tonight's hit the refinery, a base beside it, or something else entirely. Sentcom called the strikes a powerful response to Iran's attacks on U.S. forces without naming any locations.

So why does that matter so much? While a lot of people on the right here, and certainly on Fox News and a lot of cable news say, It doesn't matter, we can hit them whatever we want. But if they ever attack, because oh my God, it's a surprise attack in the middle of a war, okay. But in this case, what Iranians normally do is they strike back in the same proportion that we struck them. Now they don't have the weaponry that we have, but they do have drones and they can do significant damage, right? But they, when I say the same proportion, if we hit certain targets, they'll try to hit similar targets on our side. If we kill some of their soldiers, they try to kill some of ours.

But if we hit oil fields, they strike back at oil fields, which brings us friend of the show, Daniel Davis, explaining this on X. If this proves to be true that the U.S. struck directly on Iranian oil infrastructure tonight, the likely response from Iran before sun up or possibly within 24 hours is likely to be finding the same targets on our side. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, all. potential recipients of Iranian missiles on their oil infrastructure solely because President Trump wanted to show how tough he was. If that's what gets hit, we are in

serious trouble economically. We will be watching closely when the sun comes up in the morning in the meantime and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and under Iranian control 149 days and counting. You remember how they told us, oh, this is only going to take four or five weeks. Look, I've been through this movie before. In the In Iraq war, they said it only take a small amount of time, just a couple of weeks. It only costs $1.2 billion. In reality, of course, all those wars combined cost us $8 trillion, accomplished absolutely nothing, got hundreds of thousands of people killed, including thousands of our own service

members for absolutely no reason other than, of course, giving Israel control over the Middle East. And oh, now Iraq is not helping the Palestinians. And they're trying to destroy Iran so that Iran cannot help the Palestinians. No one is allowed to help the Palestinians. Otherwise the United States military has to get into a disastrous war where our guys die. And now oil fields of our allies are potentially gonna get hit. And the price of oil is going to skyrocket and the economy is totally gonna crater.

This disaster brought to you by the Israelis, which apparently live inside the White House, and inside Donald Trump's mind. By the way, of course, it should be noted, these attacks that we did last night were right after Benjamin Netanyahu was at the White House. Now, Netanyahu is bigger fish to fry, and this is probably in retaliation that we're probably already planning. But Netanyahu has a much bigger ask, and that might include ground troops. So let me give you more information.

Now we go to Mediite here. Donald Trump has grown, they say, increasingly exasperated as the war in Iran stretches into its six months, with NBC news reporting exclusively on Wednesday that the president recently erupted at top national security officials amid deep divisions inside his administration over how to proceed. On that one, I actually don't blame Trump that much, because remember, most of his cabinet works and his administration works for Israel. Is Israel first guys like Hegsith, who wrote in his book that the IDF should be an American

streets, insanity, and totally perplexing? Why? Why would we have Norwegian soldiers or Nicaraguan soldiers or Israeli soldiers in American streets? That's how deep Israel first is inside the Trump administration. Marco Rubio has taken millions upon millions by Israel first guys like Larry Ellison. And Larry Ellison in his own internal email said basically that Marco Rubio will serve Israel because of all the legalized bribes that Israel first has given them. So these guys lied to Trump and told him, oh, it's gonna be easy. So now he's furious. Now he should Trump have known better?

Of course, he's the president of the United States. He knows nothing at all, never does any homework or research, and is already inclined to believe the Israelis for financial reasons and perhaps other reasons. But right now, he should be of course most furious at himself. But if he's yelling at those Israel first guys, well, that at least is justified. They continue to explain. Trump exploded during a meeting with top national security officials last week over a lack of progress in Iran, yelling expletives according to NBC News.

The report says administration officials remain divided over whether the priorities should be stopping Iran's nuclear program, protecting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, or degrading Tehran's missile and drone arsenal. Look guys, at this late date, we're still having these insane conversations about Israel's priorities. their missiles and drones? Are countries not allowed to have missiles to protect themselves? We have to try to destroy all of their drones? Well, if we're out of the war and we have a peace deal, what difference do their drones make

to us? Oh right, it doesn't make any difference to us, it makes a difference to Israel who doesn't want Iran to have a single stone to be able to throw in their direction. So now, still at this late date, with this total disaster. disaster on our hands. Israel's still demanding, you have to destroy all of their drones and all of their missiles. You understand me? And they're still having debates over that. No, we only have in reality one priority there reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which is open before the war, right? But that's actually doing real damage to us. Damage to our economy, damage to the whole worldwide economy.

There's protests in South Korea and India because of how high prices are there. Protest against Israel. Because unless you're brainwashed by corporate media in America, the whole rest of the planet knows there's only one country that wants this war And it's not America, it's not Iran, it's Israel So everyone other than the people brainwashed by cable news here in the US Knows that the only people who want this war and have any priorities at all other than opening the Strait of Hormuz is Israel Now in terms of their nuclear program We already had ended their nuclear program Trump's the idiot who tore up the deal, but it's a Again, not an idiot, Israel ordered him to tear up the deal so they wouldn't have an excuse

to go to war. Okay, so now, if you think things are going badly on that front, wait, there's worse news. Okay, now let's go to NBC News. This is an anonymous U.S. official about Trump and allies. I don't think he believed it was going to be this difficult to get the Iranians to agree to a deal. There was not a real strategy for how long or what they should do to get to the end point. He did not intend this to be a long drawn out war.

And of course, that's where he was manipulated. Should he have known better? Of course, it's still completely his responsibility. But the Israelis, if you remember, were in the situation room. Netanyahu was there in person and they brought the head of Mossad. And every single thing they said to Trump was a lie. Some of the lies were so outrageous that even some of the Israel first staff afterwards had to say, sir, that one might not be entirely true.

But the Israelis told us, oh, they'll never close the strait of her moves. Oh, it'll be easy to do regime change. This old war will be over in a couple of weeks. Don't worry, you don't need to put ground troops in, just start the war ready for Israel. And Trump, the corrupt moron, did. And that's why his polling numbers are now absolutely disastrous, which I'll get to in a second. So now, to the more concerning problem of munitions, all the other things that are going in the wrong direction.

Now we go to the New York Times. One senior U.S. official, they explained, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity, expressed doubts that resuming major combat operations would drive Iran back to the bargaining table. The official said the strikes have the opposite effect of what is intended, keeping Iran cohesive and allowing Iranian leaders to focus attention on an external threat. Now, see, that actually brings the two nuclear problems that we have politically together. One is Trump's lack of intelligence and his complete ignorance of anything happening in the world, along with Israel's motivations. Israel wants bigger attacks so that we get further drawn into the war.

They know bigger attacks means longer war. But Trump, I think this is genuine. This is not manipulation. Trump actually believes because he's a Neanderthal and has an IQ in the single digits. If I hit him really hard, then you're going to give up. You still think they're going to give up? They're actually asking for more and more as we go along because we try to, during the memorandum of understanding where we're supposed to have a ceasefire, We tried to sneak ships in through the Oman Lane.

We did bombings up and down the Strait of Hormuz to try to open up the Strait of Hormuz while we were pretending to do peace negotiations so that Iran wouldn't have any leverage. Guess what? It didn't work. We couldn't reopen the Strait, and now we know that for sure. But Trump learned nothing from that. He's like, what if we hit him even harder? Why don't we do a big bombing?

Maybe they stopped it. No, every time we hit them home. They hit us harder and the war continues and is much more likely to continue. And everyone on the planet knows that except Donald Trump. And every time he does it, the Israelis are like, yes, more war. So now, how are we doing on our arsenal? Because our ships are unprotected, our bases are unprotected if we run out of interceptor missiles.

And now this is where we get to the disastrous news. if all the rest wasn't bad enough. So more than 50,000 US service members are currently deployed to the Middle East and remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready, US Central Command says. So guys, first of all, why is US Central Command telling us, oh, by the way, we have 50,000 ground troops ready to go? Because they're considering ground troops. Remember, just the other day, Netanyahu goes to the White House, he comes out, and

And he gave a statement in Hebrew where he said, this was an excellent meeting with Donald Trump. The best I've ever had with a president of the United States. We are mutually aligned on all of our interests and goals. He did all but ab. Okay, when Nen Yahoo is that excited, that first thing I thought is, oh, no, ground troops. And then right afterwards, U.S. Central Command saying, remember, we've got 50, 50,000 ground troops. And part of the problem there, guys, is that we cannot protect them if we run out of defensive

missiles. So what's our situation there? Well, General Dan Cain, Raisin Cain, was the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned Trump privately that, quote, resuming major combat operations against Iran was doable, but that it would dangerously deplete interceptors available to the military central command, which is responsible for operations in the Middle East. Now, I'm going to give you some stunning facts here. Patriot Interceptors before the war was at 2,200.

First of all, that's not that big a number. Do the Iranians have more than 2,000 drones? Of course they do. So do the Chinese. So do do a lot of countries. They have tens of thousands. We only have 2,200 defensive missiles, and that was before the war. And that's not just for this war, that's period.

So what are we down to now? Oh, no, we're down to under 1,000, 827. I want to tell you about a new podcast series I'm enjoying from future hindsight, Occupy, an unfinished uprising. Occupy Wall Street is the story of the improbable becoming possible. In 2008, millions of people were devastated by an economic crash caused by Wall Street greed. But it wasn't until 2011 that there was a mass response from the left. A call to protests went out and thousands of people responded. I know I was there.

They raged against a system that was rigged against them and tried to create their own anti-capitalist village in a small Manhattan park. The movement quickly spread across the country inspiring hundreds of occupations and a new generation of activists. Occupy an unfinished uprising is told through the voices of activists who camped out in Zaccati Park for almost two months, getting inside the drama of a movement that grew rapidly, felt both transcendent and chaotic, and then violently flamed out.

Occupy changed the national conversation about capitalism, popularized the language of the 99% and inspired a generation of activists. As we approach Occupy's 15th anniversary this September, this series offers a reminder that collective action can reshape what seems possible. To listen, search for future hindsight wherever you get your podcast. for everything across the globe. We're almost out completely. If we keep going at this pace,

and the war intensifies, oh, that's it. In a couple of months, we'll have almost nothing left. Not just to protect our troops there, to protect our bases there, to protect our ships there, but then to protect us across the globe. We're using all of our defensive missiles

to help Israel try to, What defeat Iran so thoroughly that they don't have a single missile or drone left? This has nothing to do with U.S. interests. And it is hurting us militarily incredibly. And by the way, now we've got some reports that they're letting some missiles through if they think it won't kill Americans because that's how much we're worried about us running out of defensive missiles. Wow.

And how about our THAAD missiles? So these are could also be used. Again, I thought we had way more than this, but it turns out before the war we only had 452 and right now we're down to 278 of those. So tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, guys, this is what I've said from day one. What happens when defensive missiles run out and you got an aircraft carrier just sitting there? But can they really, you know, reach our aircraft carriers? Aren't we so sophisticated?

Don't we control the waters in the air? They hit one of our ships in Egypt. Iran is nowhere near Egypt. So can they get drones close to our ships and then hit them if they don't have any defensive missiles? Absolutely. We're gonna have to get our aircraft carriers out of there. Otherwise, they're sitting ducks.

But Israel's not done, and they demand more. war and they demand allegiance to their almighty goals and their greater Israel that they're trying to form inside of the Middle East. So now Hegsith and other officials are going to startups in Silicon Valley and telling them please get us more. So they've gone to AI aircraft software company Shield AI, autonomous weapons firm Anderil cruise missile startup co-espire and low-cost munitions maker Castilian and saying, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, we need more missiles.

Now what good is that going to do right now? They can't produce them that quick. In fact, let me give you more on that. Washington Post says they represent a sharp departure from established firms, these startups, which have far more experience managing clunky government acquisition processes and billions of dollars in capital to spend producing weapons en masse and lobbying lawmakers, but can move more slowly, those are the established firms, especially in creating new supplies featuring cutting edge technology, including artificial intelligence.

So we've already had some deals with these AI startups, at least some of them. But according to the Washington Post, the Pentagon announced deals with Anderil, Co-Aspire Castellan to procure 10,000 low-cost cruise missiles starting in 2027. We're in the middle of 2026 and we're in the middle of this war now. They're going to start producing them next year. Okay, maybe that helps us replenish after Israel has used all of our missiles. But right now, this doesn't help us at all. So can, and can they even deliver it?

Well, back to the Washington Post. It could take three or more years to replenish the supply of that and Patriot missile defense systems to know what it was before the Iran war, according to a CSIS analysis in May, putting the U.S. at increased risk of service members dying and military assets abroad becoming damage due to weakened defenses. Precision strike and joint air-to-service missiles may take several months to a year to replace, according to the analysis. Oh, good. It's going to start in 2027 and take three years. So Iran, you better watch out in In 2030, one more here, Doug Denny, the founder and chief executive of cruise missile

startup co-aspire told Washington Post, that is the direct messaging that we're received from the Department of War. Great that you've got this great technology, we get it, we believe it, you've demonstrated it, you've proven your capability, now you have to manage your supply chain and now you have to produce a scale, otherwise it's not worth the investment. So in other words, oh my God, they've produced some of these weapons, but they don't even know that they could create an assembly line and supply them in mass. So in a best case scenario, they start next year, finish three years later, but we don't

know that the best case scenario is gonna happen at all, because they've never mass produced them before. Can you see why we've got to get the hell out of this Iran war immediately? Let's say that we hang around for a couple more weeks or a couple more months, and then we're down to only a couple hundred defensive missiles left to protect our troops across the globe. And if we get into any other kind of conflict, we'll have nothing left to defend ourselves because we spent it all on this disastrous war for a different country. And finally, what is it done to Donald Trump?

Well, he's now sitting at 32% approval, one of the lowest ever recorded in history for a president. He's sitting at 58% disapproval. That is a huge number. That is a minus 26 on approval. I mean, it almost can't get worse than that because there's some portion of his base that's immovable. Whatever can be moved has almost all moved already.

So he's at rock bottom here. But on the foreign policy, he's at minus 32. And on the Iran war, his approval rating is. is at minus 38. Whatever that blackmail they have on him, I guess it must be thermonuclear to get to a point where you're willing to destroy your entire administration, be one of the most unpopular presidents, completely betray your voters, instead of being America first, be America last.

And instead of being anti-war, which is what you. he claimed a thousand times to start a giant war in the Middle East, let alone all the other wars he started. He did all of that for what? The money? Yes, he's gotten hundreds of millions of dollars from the Israeli lobby. Yes, they've legally bribed him. But Trump is taking money from a lot of people and then betrayed them afterwards, and he's already

the president. Whatever they have on him must be terrible, even worse than this. But his pain is these numbers and his lack of popularity and the fact that the country now despises him, including a lot of his former voters. But yes, he might be avoiding a greater pain for himself. God knows those in those Epstein files, and you see him panic every single time, not the Epstein files. He's so stupid, he makes us so obvious that there's something disastrous in there.

Some portions of our government knows it. some portions of other governments know it, but the American people don't know it. But that's his personal calculation. As president of the United States, he's supposed to represent us. But he's never done that, he's never believed in that. It's always me, me, me, the world's biggest narcissist. And the pain of this war is all on us. And it looks like it's about to get way worse.

All right, that's your disastrous news in the first segment, but when we come back, we do have really good news out of Michigan, so stay right here. All right, let's go to YouTube members. Simon Moody said 100%. Trump got jazzed up by the Maduro operation's success in hours, so he thought around would take days and nobody corrected his expectation because moron. Yeah, as soon as that happened, I thought, uh-oh, this idiot's going to think that all of this is easy and the Israelis are going to tell him, oh yeah, remember Venezuela?

Oh yeah, it's gonna be super easy and he ate it up. Ronnie Anderson says, Netanyahu pushing new wars with Trump, Quagmire with no end, Marco Antonio P. says Israel wants to have its own oil industry. So it's reveling in seeing Americans bomb Iranian oil industry. Yes, they have a new gas field called Leviathan and they're bragging about it. And Netanyahu even said in the middle of this war, now that not just the Iranians, but our allies in the Gulf got hit. You're now going to have to rely on Leviathan.

God, they're so brazen and over the top. Angela D says Trump is being threatened. God knows what they're threatening him with, but it must be bad. Iran has the right to defend themselves. Look, a lot of people in mainstream think like, oh, you can't have blackmail? Are you saying Israel by blackmail? Guys, my family originally comes from the Middle East. Is there blackmail in the Middle East?

Of course. Every once in a while, there's some sex tape released in Turkey against Erdogan's opponents. Blackmail is intelligence agency 101. If you don't think that blackmail is that the Israelis blackmailing Trump is possible, you don't understand anything about intelligence.

You guys make this show possible. We are utterly besieged here. So whatever you see Israel first doing in other places, multiply it by about 100. And that's what's happening behind the scenes here.

All right, and let me also tell you about our wonderful sponsors who are helping us through this and offering you guys good services. This one's ground news. So a lot of people are exhausted by the news now. I get it, but every outlet has an angle, every story gets twisted for somebody's agenda. And if you're just reading only one headline or source, you're probably not getting the full story.

By the way, that's why we always tell you to check out many different sources, and not just us. So we're totally fair about that. And if you want to know what's really going on, you got to be able to see how the story's being framed. And that's why I'm recommending ground news to you guys. It's an app and a website that pulls together reporting from across the political spectrum so you can compare coverage in one place. You can compare headlines side by side, see the bias distribution of the coverage, check the factuality ratings of the sources, and even see who owns the outlets reporting on it. If you want to stay informed without getting played by media spin, I think ground news is a super valuable tool. So go to ground.

Now, let's go to our next story. The establishment has been attacking Dr. Abdul-El-Said in that Michigan Senate race throughout. A-PAC has been attacking him to the tune of approximately 60,

million dollars spent against them. So in the old days, when you have that kind of money being spent against a candidate and all of establishment media and all of cable news attacking him, that person would have stood no chance. But in this day and age, we've got a different situation. So the more they attacked El Saeed in the beginning, the more his numbers went up. But then the tens of millions of dollars started coming in in those attack ads. And of course, the media didn't correct those ads which are filled with nothing but lies. And every time he went on cable news, Jake Tapper and everyone else bashed him instead of the person taking nearly $60 million from a foreign government's lobby.

So this race then became really tight. But we have a new poll and it is dramatic. So they had a debate recently and did that swing things. And what is stronger these days? Mainstream media lies or the reality you're getting in online news. Let's find out. Emerson poll, so it's very credible poll, really solid polling organization with good results. 54 to 39, Abdul al-Sa'id takes the lead, a decisive lead, 15 points.

So the election has already started. If you know, if you're in Michigan, you know anyone in Michigan, friends or family, make sure they're voting because this is about whether America runs its own Senate or if Israel runs our Senate. Because if the Israeli lobby spends that amount of money and defeats El-Said, what will happen is the rest of the Democrats will then panic, get on their knees, and they loved and served Israel anyway, and they'll go right back to doing that same exact thing, thinking, well, I don't want 60 million spent against me.

But if after spending that amount of money, Abdul al-Said wins anyway, then at least half the Democrats will be liberated. And I'm hoping more and more as we go. Now the Republicans are totally enslaved to Israel because Tom Massey lost his race after the Israeli lobby spent $32 million on just a house race in the middle of Kentucky. So that made all the Republicans go, yes, sir, we serve Israel loyally, sir. And since then, every single Republican outside of Tom Massey has voted to fund Israel, fund their wars, continue their wars, and even merge our military technology.

Half of the Democrats voted no on merging our military technology. We want it to be all the Democrats. We want them to serve this country, their districts and their states, and not a different country. And of course, Haley Stevens had said that she went into Congress to serve the people of, not Michigan, to serve the people of Israel. So now, if you look at some of the other numbers in the poll, they're even better. So if this poll is right, we're gonna be in great shape.

The early voting started obviously in the election day is on Tuesday of next week. Make sure everybody's voting. So there's a, they explain, Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College polling, said there's a clear age divide in the Democratic Party. under 50 break for El Said by 42 percentage points, 67 to 25, and that gap tightens among voters in their 50s to a 12 point lead still for El Said, and voters over 60 flip to Stevens by a 14 point margin, 53 to 39. Guys, this has nothing to do with, you know, whether young people are a certain way by nature

and older people are a different way by nature, absolutely not. And these elections are not all of the electorate going into a room, hearing both sides and going, hmm, okay, now that I've heard all the facts and I know all their policies, I'm going to make an informed decision in this way. No, unfortunately, the ads and the media coverage determines so much of what happens in an election. And in the old days, everyone watched TV, and TV was nothing but corporate lies and lies on behalf of a foreign government.

So they would tell you, the moderate position is to be against raising the minimum wage. Wait a minute, nice, you look at a poll, 67% of Americans want to raise the minimum wage. How could the moderate position be one third of the country and the radical position is two thirds of the country? That doesn't make any sense at all. Right now, 60% of America is opposed to supporting Israel, but if you turn on cable news, you'd never know that. They're like, no, everyone knows that we have to serve our loyal and greatest ally Israel.

So lie after lie after lie. And unfortunately, people above the age of 50 and particularly above the age of 60 still watch news. Now it's not their fault that they're getting being they're being spoon fed propaganda and they don't know it. To be fair, I got spoon fed that propaganda and I believed it for a long time. We didn't know it was propaganda, we really thought it was the news. And so it's not that they're, you know, of course they're not bad people, they're Democratic voter's trying to do the right thing and it doesn't apply to all people above the age of 50.

Of course not. I'm above the age of 50. My dad's well into his 80s. He's on our side. Of course it doesn't represent all older people. But unfortunately, a greater percentage of older people watch the brainwashing machine called TV. And so anybody who watches that who gets the AIPAC ads and gets mainstream media attacking Abdul El-Sahid 24-7.

The rest of us who are getting actual news in online world, see that Abdul al-Saeed is representing America, and he's saying, look, I'm gonna try to increase your wages, I'm gonna try to get you universal healthcare. I'm going to actually serve you guys. And Haley Stevens is saying, I'm here to serve the people of Israel. So when you get the correct information, it's not close. Of course you're gonna vote for the guy who's gonna represent you instead of a different country. Haley Stevens says Israel comes to her in her dreams.

This is not subtle, it's over the top. She's absolutely promising to hand over that seat and the entire Senate to Israel if she wins this race. Except the people who watch TV don't know that at all, because almost everyone on TV lies on behalf of any donors, Big Pharma, which are giant advertisers for them, establishment, politicians like Haley Stevens. Remember, her campaign, an independent expenditure supporting. her are putting in $60 million into that same mainstream media, that same television outlets

who are then lying on her behalf. That's why you're getting this giant divide between older and younger Americans. That's why Donald Trump, on the other side, has lost voters under the age of 50. And Israel, on the Republican side, has lost voters under the age of 50 massively, because they're They're getting real news. I call this the Gaza effect. Television anchors go, no, the Palestinians are the terrorists and the Israelis are the victims. Oh, poor Israel, we have to give them so much more money and there's nothing bad in

Gaza. There's no genocide, there's no starvation. Everyone who says that is an anti-Semite, right? And then we go online and we actually see pictures and video of Gaza and we go, oh, it turns out there were all liars. Everyone on TV is liars working for Israel. But we have eyes, we have ears, we see Gaza. So same thing's happening in political races now. When you see their two race, different speeches, their policies, and them debating, it becomes clear. In fact, in the recent debate that they had, I'll skip ahead to you, Graphics 6 and 7 here. No, sorry, I'll just tell you.

So not cable news did a poll on who won the last debate. It was 95 to 5 of Abdul al-Said. If you watched the debate, you thought it was comically easy who was the better candidate. New York Times then characterized that as Abdul al-Said being a smooth talker and that he was against the Jewish state. I mean, their bias is disgusting. We're great news, it's not working. So sad for you, New York Times, so sad for you, CNN, that your lies don't work anymore on the voters.

Independence break for El-Said by a 27 point margin, 60 to 33%, while Democrats break for El-Said by 9 points, 50 to 41. So if you thought he was doing great with Democrats, he does even better with independence, which means he is far more likely to win this. general election. Now, are you going to see that on CNN? Are you going to read that in the national papers? Are you going to see that from other Democrats? Of course not. They're going to lie in the exact opposite direction. Even though they see those numbers where independents overwhelmingly support Dr. Abdul al-Said, they lie 24-7, every article, every segment. They say, no, no,

Haley Stevens is the moderate who stands a better chance of winning in Michigan. Pure fabrication. So now, how are established when Democrats reacting to this? Their usual bag of tricks. You just smear someone ad hominem attacks. They don't have to be true. You just have to try to scare the voters in your direction. So here is Democratic representative Hillary Shulton lying on CNN. Of course, by the way, aided and abetted by Jake Tapper,

who serves up every softball and doesn't question any of this. Watch. If you look at the things that he has said, not even just in the context of this race, Jake, but going back to his campaign with Governor Whitmer, there is a uniquely sexist bent to the things that he has said about women, right? He said that Congresswoman Stevens couldn't string two sentences together, that, you know, she was sort of an empty vessel. When comparing her and her other female Democratic primary opponent, Mallory McMurrow,

he said essentially there's no difference between the two candidates. One just has better comms and more charisma. It's one thing to attack your opponent because of the substance of their issues. It's another thing to engage in what are deeply, deeply sexist attacks. Going back to his race with Governor Whitmer, he said she was bought and sold for by her dad's company. You know, essentially comparing her to property with no ideas of her own, a successful two-term governor who many talk about as a potential presidential candidate. All right, so let's break that down because, of course, Jake Tavern didn't.

He's like, oh, yeah, he's against Israel, right? Success! Can he talk more? More lies, more lies, okay? So she said he's deeply, deeply sexist. And then she gave three examples. So she said that he, in an earlier race called Gretchen Whitmer bought and sold for him. But she takes giant amounts of corporate pack money.

Well, what do you think that those packs are giving it to her for? Do you think Big Pharma is giving it to Gretchen Whitmer or any Democrat or any Republican for their health? For your health? No, they're doing it to buy her. Oil companies, defense contractors, A PAC, all doing it to buy our politicians. That's true of males and females. And progressives say that about of course both male and female, why would we care? She's like, oh yeah, that's sexist.

How is it sexist? How is it sexist? Jeffries and Schumers are bought and sold for. Trump is, Mitch McConnell is, all the Republicans are. How is that sexist? They're just lying. Oh, yeah, smear him, smear him, attack him personally. Then she said, oh, well, he called Haley's team as an empty vessel.

Have you ever heard her speak? She can't even string two sentences together. She can't answer what her policy positions are. She never does any interviews. and she got slaughtered in debate 95 to 5 because she's an empty vessel. It has nothing to do with her gender and nobody brought up gender other than Hillary Shulton, who's a disgusting liar who's trying to get you to believe that he's sexist because that's what they always do.

That's how immoral and corrupt establishment Democrats like Hillary Shulton are. They smear people, lie about them on purpose, and try to trick women into hate. That's disgusting. That leads me to the third allegation because you saw it with your own eyes. You can go back and rewind the tape and see that I'm telling you the truth. When she said, well, there was two women that he was running against Stevens and McMorough. And he said, oh, one is just better at comms and has more charisma. That was McMorrow.

She's also a woman. So saying that she has a better communication strategy is sexist against the other woman in the race? She has more charisma is sexist against the other woman in the race, but he's saying the woman in the race has more charisma. How is that sexist? They're not even trying. All they do is smear, smear, smear, but she's not done yet.

Here's more disgusting propaganda from so-called Democrat Hillary Shulton, who clearly should be voted out in her next primary watch. He's been endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders, who also was supporting Graham Platner, who had a deeply problematic record with women, credibly accused by multiple sources of sexual assault, even. Rape in one case. Rape in one case. Abdul, Al-Sadner campaigned together.

They fundraised together. Another thing that I find, you know, potentially even more concerning than some of the sexist comments are, you know, some of the things that Abdul has said and gone out of his way to associate himself with. when it comes to what some might see as deeply un-American comments, you know, choosing to campaign with Hassan Piker, who said America deserved September 11. Sure, he went on to disavow those comments, but I'm telling you, nobody on my team would ever, you know, become even close to making a comment like that.

Oh my God. He was with Hassan Piker. And that guy doesn't even support Israel. I mean, he's never bent a knee or bowed down to Israel at all. Can you imagine not serving Israel? And he campaigned with him. And then she lied and said that Abdul al-Said campaigned with Grand Platner. No, he didn't.

Did Jay Tapper ask her, why are you lying about that? No, instead he yelled, rape. Did you notice that? She's like, oh, Grand Planted his sexual assault. And he's like, rape. He was against Israel too. They're all against Israel. They're all sexist rapists.

Okay, yeah, yeah. This is what propaganda junk looks like. This is what brainwashing looks like. Now, final part of it is the shot of Bernie Sanders. Oh yeah, he's supported by Bernie Sanders. Since he didn't actually campaign with the grand planner, she has to connect him through Bernie, right? And so Bernie sex, Bernie pros, you remember how they called Bernie Sanders sexes?

By the way, since the campaigns, the presidential campaigns ended, they haven't called Bernie sexist until now, some sort of association game that they're playing. Why, because he's not sexist at all, and they were definitely lying about it. But whenever he ran against Hillary Clinton, sexy, Bernie bro, sexist. Same trick every single time. And these are the people who claim, oh, vote blue no matter who. Ha ha ha ha ha, ha, you got a vote for Hillary Clinton, both blue no matter who. Okay, now you're like, okay, well, what if Abdul al-Said was, hold on, I'm gonna get to that.

But first, Graphics 6, Shulton says, I think they condoning behavior like this from candidates like Abdul al-Saeed is taking us in a direction that we don't want to go as a party. I don't need $20 million to study why young men stop voting for the Democratic Party. You think young men love Israel and corporate PACs? And that's why they stop supporting the Democratic Party because we weren't corrupt enough and that we didn't serve Israel and big pharma and defense contractors enough? Well, you're right, you don't need $20 million study. You can look at any poll.

Why do you think Abdul Sahid is winning Democrats under 50 by what was it? Forty- 42 points. I mean, look at how much she lies. Abdul's winning younger Democrats by 42 points. And she's like, that's why we're losing younger voters because of people like Abdul al-Said. Jesus Christ. Okay, so finally, are you going to support Abdul-El-Said if he wins the general election? Blue no matter who, right?

She said, I will not stand beside someone who has allowed distinctly anti-American sentiment to enter our public dialogue. Now it's actually not anti-American, he's the only candidate in this race representing America. The other candidate is avowedly representing a different country. She means I will not allow any anti-Israel talk to even enter the public dialogue. You're not even allowed to talk about it. If a Democrat doesn't bow down to Israel, Hillary Shulton will not support them. Good, you know what?

We don't need your support. Who the hell do you think you are? You're not our representative. You're the representative of every corporation that's bribed you, legally bribed, but we all know it's bribes. We know they're not giving it for your health or our health. They're doing it to buy you. And they're not buying you because you're a woman, they're buying you because you're a widget.

Male, female race doesn't matter. Well, the only thing that matters are people who raise their hands and say, like Hillary Schulton, I swear to serve Israel, I swear to serve Big Pharma, I swear to serve every corporate pact that legally bribes me. We don't need your help. Your help would only hurt us in a general election. Please go away. And in the next elections in 2028, we'll try to make sure that you going away becomes permanent

in terms of Congress. We don't need Israelis or corporate stooges in our Congress pretending to represent us and instead taking our money and giving it to all of those corporate interests instead. So now you know the next time you see liars on television, liars in Democratic leadership telling you, oh no, you have to support the corporate Democrat, even though they don't do anything you want, they never pass the bills, they never support any of those policies that you love. No, you have to support them anyway. Remember Hillary Shulton, remember all of them, Gretchen Whitmer, and almost every corporate,

not almost every corporate Democrat in Michigan, loyally lined up behind their donors, A-PAC to serve them. And bad news for all of you guys, we're on to you. The internet catches everyone. And if Abdul wins, they are going to be in a cold sweat panic. Make sure that everyone you know in Michigan is voting. This is a vote for the sovereignty of America, as important as it gets. We'll be right back.

All right, back on TYT, let's go to YouTube, I'm sorry, tyot.com members. Jack C says, these strikes are because Nanyahu's in Washington this week. Like I said, Jack, that's actually a small part of it. It's the retaliation back and forth in Trump's temperament. Nan Yahu doesn't just want these little strikes. He wants all out war with ground troops, so be worried about that. Jedi 6 says, I wonder if Trump will label the 80s rock band, a flock of seagull as a terrorist group.

They had a hit song in the 80s called Iran. Trump must think the songs about a country Iran. He will ban them from the US stable genius my ass. Yeah, one of the dumbest people in public life ever. So I wouldn't be surprised. I'm reading these blind. Cabbage says, no one noticed Israel destroyed identity politics. That just turns everyone off.

Yeah, Israel first is the king of cancel culture and identity politics. If you don't agree with Israel, anti-Semite destroy his life, and then they'll use sexism, racism as charges against people who are the least sexist and least racist, all in honor of almighty Israel. Mo Larry Cheez says, Jane, after a long time, I finally convinced myself we didn't need to go to Galapagos. You ruined it for me. Now I'm pretty sure I'll be going.

Check out Operation Joy from Tuesday to be the pictures and videos and stories that he's referring to. boomer dragon cat says, I saw a video of acidic Jew waving a Palestinian flag. When he was confronted, he tried to explain Zionism as not Jewish faith, but political. Of course, they just started screaming louder at him. That's right, there's a lot of Jewish people who support Palestinians. All right, back on TYT with Jank Ugar, but also redemption. 007.

That's a great handle. Redemption and 007 in there. Thanks for joining. You're one of us now. They hit the join button, cheesy finger 79 and fat satyr. Also fun handles, sent five young tourist memberships as gifts to you guys. I love when you stick up for the community, that's beautiful and I appreciate you all. One YouTube member comment here, Purple Rock said, I don't care what they call us, I want

a divorce from Israel, abusive husband. So you're on to something there, we might have a campaign very similar to that soon. So I love the way you're thinking, we're the smartest members in the world. And two different people who wanted to remain anonymous, thank you for joining. and contributing through tyt.com slash join. You guys are the best. All right, now let's go to another story about politics. So Israel first candidate and current incumbent Jared Muscovitz is getting exposed by his primary challenger for admitting his views on foreign policy are closer to Lindsay Graham than to the Democratic Party. Ouch. So the guy running

against him is Oliver Larkin. I've interviewed him in the past and we'll put a link in the description box for that interview so you can check it out for yourself and see his views. He wrote on X. Jared Moskowitz's next excuse to avoid debates and town halls carrying the flame for Lindsey Graham. He linked to the following clip. Now it's from May of 2025, which is not that long ago. And this was before we did the first set of strikes in the first war with Iran. And how did Moskowitz feel about that? I mean, I hear the Democratic Party's anti-war, right? Well, let's find out. What I would like to see actually is a little tougher language coming out of the Trump administration. I'm to the right of this issue to the J.D. Vance Whitkoff approach. And I agree, quite frankly, more with Senator Lindsey Graham and probably Senator Tom Cotton. Iran is the weakest they've been in a period of time. Now is not the time to appease them. Now is the time to put maximum pressure on them and make sure that we dismantle the nuclear program. I'm not saying we should start bombing.

the facility, but I'm saying all options should be on the table, right? That is the Trump language. Mainstream media calls that guy a moderate Democrat. He just said he's to the right of J.D. Vance on war. He said that his position aligns with Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton, two of the most toxic right-wingers in the country. You'd have to be out of your mind to vote for him if you're a Democrat. He just told you he's not a Democrat.

He just told you he's Lindsey Graham 2.0. Why in the world would you vote for him in a Democratic primary? Well, thank you for the confessions, we appreciate it, because why, Muscoitz loves Israel a billion times more than America. So he's like, I don't care if it hurts America or the Democratic Party or my voters don't want it. 80% of my voters are against the current government of Israel. Who cares?

I'm with Lindsey Graham, I'm with Tom Cotton. Let's make sure we go to war for Israel. Disgusting. But he has more of that. What are your concerns with if Israel decides to move forward with a strike, what the U.S. role should or shouldn't be, talking about all those facilities within Iran? Well, look, you know, I don't know if Israel will move without the United States, but that being said, look, we have precedent over the last couple of years that, you know,

if Israel makes an offensive action, the United States pledges to defend Israel. And so if that, if that's what the Trump doctrine is on that, I think that would be satisfactory. that if Israel decides to go make a strike, that the United States will pledge to defend Israel term any Iranian response. But look, I want to see if we can do this peacefully. Except I just told you if Israel goes on the offense, America must defend them. Why? What a weird thing to say.

If Israel attacks Nicaragua, we owe them a defense. Why? Why do we owe them a defense? If Israel attacks Mongolia, we owe them a defense. Why? Why do we owe them a defense if they're going around maniacally attacking other countries? Because for Moskowitz, America is an irrelevant at best second priority, but probably way, way lower. Number one priority is Israel is allowed to do anything they want. And if they want to get more land and they want to attack their neighbors and steal their land,

you have to do it, America. And why do you think Muskowitz is in the Congress in the first place? to make sure that America serves Israel and not America. But thank you so much for making it really clear, because you saw his own words there. Not just for Israel's defense, but if they decide to go on the offense, it's your obligation to pay for those offensive wars to defend them.

And by the way, for our soldiers to die for them because they chose to start an offensive war. Unbelievable. So, okay, but there's got to be something that would get Moscow's to say, say, okay, if Israel did that, then maybe America shouldn't support. I mean, you're supposed to be an American representative, right? Nope, he says there should never be any conditions on Israel. You think, come on, really?

Watch. What has been your impression of this conversation amongst your colleagues about the differences between offensive and defensive aid to Israel, potentially choosing to condition aid to Israel based on them following international law? There's been a debate up here for a long period of time on offensive weapons. Okay, and I think that debate is appropriate. I don't have a problem with that. It's interesting that the debate now is going on to defensive weapons,

because for the longest time, the folks that were against offensive weapons said, but we're for protecting civilians. And that's why we're for continuing either funding for Iron Dome or other fad missile systems, things of that nature. And on specific conditioning offensive, where do you stand on that? on conditioning it on the basis of Israel following international law offensive. Yeah, I'm not, I mean, I'm being very consistent. I'm not for conditioning military aid to our allies, okay, which is why I've always supported.

Regardless for national law. Which is why I've always supported aid to Ukraine and other things of that nature. So, you know, I'm not changing my position on that. Regardless of international law. Well, they're a US ally. So so long as you're a US So the law doesn't apply? What's that? Does the law not apply allies? Well, our law applies. But, you know, as long as there They're an ally of ours, I'm not for conditioning weapons to Israel. No conditions at all.

No matter what Israel does, you owe them. Take out your wallet right now and hand it over to Israel. Otherwise, you're an anti-Semite, and you owe them. You owe them offensive wars. You owe them no matter what genocide they commit, what war crimes they commit. And he pretends this for all allies, really? How about the Saudis who chopped up a journalist? Do we owe them no matter what unconditionally?

I don't know, since Saudis are allies with Israel, he might say yes. How about Turkey which Israel is threatening to attack next? Turkey is a much stronger and bigger ally. They're the second largest military in NATO. They're in NATO, our strongest military alliance. If Turkey attacked Israel, would we owe them our allegiance unconditionally? My guess is Moskowitz would have a different opinion on that. If Israel attacked Turkey, would Turkey be allowed to counter attack?

My guess is Muscoots will all of a sudden would be like, ally, ally doesn't matter at all. They ought to put conditions on Turkey, but never Israel, never Israel, okay? Unconditionally, you must bow down and give Israel whatever they want. Now to be fair, the Israeli lobby has given Moskowitz whatever he wants, so he's gotten $833,000 in the past. And if they didn't already have his allegiance, they have it now. And that was a nice little thing. And that, by the way, helps him defeat anyone who isn't pro-Israel.

So now with Oliver Larkin in the race and giving him a real challenge, that number probably will go up. Because of course, the Israeli lobby cannot countenance the idea of a real American opposing someone who works for Israel like Jared Moskowitz. So by the way, if you wanna know, Oliver for Congress.com. I'm gonna get to an interesting development about him in a second. But first, how about Oliver Larkin? Is he like Moskowitz and this mealy mouth corporate BS and oh, we have to serve foreign governments

and oh, I apologize to the Republicans, I'm to the right of JD-Vance? No, he's the exact opposite. So he goes on Fox News. Actually, he did it twice earlier today, just before we went on air, he called Trump a pedophile president. I know Muscoitz being to the right of the Republicans. wouldn't want to hear any of that. But when he was on the first time with Martha McCollum, she's like, you're supporting people arresting Benjamin Netanyahu? How outrageous, right?

So did Larkin back down? Let's find out. Any regrets about sort of jumping on that bandwagon, that idea that he should be arrested? No regrets. And not necessarily bandwagoning. I'm just following what the international criminal court has assessed that Benjamin Netanyahu has committed war crimes in Gaza, and I believe that the United States, any federal or otherwise law enforcement entity that has the legal jurisdiction to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu for his war crimes, that should be enforced. The United States needs to abide by the law, both our unlaws and international law. And the horror in Gaza has now extended to include the deaths of 18 U.S. service members and

over 500 who have been injured in this illegal war with the U.S. Iran. So we just want to de-escalate the situation and bring this killing to a close. So that's an excellent answer. And of course, Muscoitz disagrees. 23,000 dead innocent Palestinian children in Gaza, not a big deal. We need to fund that genocide even more, according to Muscoitz, and bring it to even new countries. Okay, so I've given you the facts. You guys are going to decide. It's Oliver Larkin versus Moskowitz in that Democratic primary. It's coming up in Florida. But I have decided. we do a show where we give you facts and we never ever waver from the facts, then we give you our analysis and then our opinion.

And my opinion is, hell yes, on Oliver Larkin. In fact, earlier today, after seeing his appearances on Fox News, after seeing the Muscoot's clips, the jury came in. Rebellion Pack is run by myself, Cara Eastman, former Democratic candidate from Nebraska, and Marie Newman, former U.S. congresswoman from Illinois, one of the Justice Democrats that and also got eliminated unfortunately by A-PAC spending millions and millions of dollars to defeat her because of one vote against Israel that she had. So anyway, that's our board at Rebellion Pact.

And we decided to endorse Oliver Larkin today and Oliver happily accepted. And Larkin has now joined the rebellion. So rebel against the establishment, rebel against all of these people that want us to serve of a foreign country and corporate packs and everyone but you. What's the rebellion about? It's about serving American voters, first and only, American voters. Voters in that district, not another country. So Oliver for Congress.com, it's great that you have real choices now in Democratic primaries.

And no matter what you decide, right, I'm not you, you get to make your own decision. Remember, these races, they don't want you to focus on the primaries. The primaries are where you finally have a choice, wherever you are, Florida, Michigan, anywhere else. Make sure you find out who's in the primaries and which candidates align with your policy views and your moral views. And make sure you go out and vote in those primaries either way. All right, we're gonna take a break here when we come back.

Netanyahu lectures us. Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? Rich and powerful men abusing, assaulting, and abandoning young women. These rich and powerful men donate to the politicians in Washington, D.C., play golf with the elites in Washington, D.C. They are foreign leaders who we don't want to offend. They interact with our intelligence agencies that we don't want to disobey. There is something rotten in Washington. And are people still talking about this guy, this creep?

All those congressmen you just saw there are on the record as protecting the child rapists who were clients of Epstein. They have not prosecuted a single person outside of Epstein and Maxwell. Yep. Not one. Is Trump engaging in this cover up because he's in the Epstein files? I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff.

So as the government keeps telling us, yeah, there's other people. Yeah, they rape those girls. So what? We're going to cover up for them. Why are you guys so mad? A nation that chooses impunity for the rich and the powerful at the expense of our children is a nation that has lost its moral purpose. Are you on the side of the people? Are you on the side of America's children?

Or are you on the side of the rich and powerful who've had their thumb on the scales and shafted Americans for decades? The rest of the news media says you should not fight for positive change. If you do, you're not really a reporter or a journalist because reporters and journalists don't care what happens. I don't agree. That's not written anywhere. That's not a law. It's just a rule that they invented so that reporters didn't actually challenge the people that are in power. Well, we don't agree with that. We think we should challenge the people in power that that actually makes you a better journalist, not a worse one. Who do you guys use?

We have AT&T. And how much do you pay per month? 345 and that includes a company discount. How many people? Five phones. $70 a line, right? I've started a wireless company called Noble Mobile that is trying to cut everyone's bills in half. What would, like, a family of four costs?

The average Noble mobile user is paying 42 a month, but also they're using their smartphone 17% less. Okay. How's that work out? We give you $20 back in cash every month based upon how much data you use or don't use. You know when you're doom scrolling or messing around on your phone, you're like, oh, wait, I'm actually,

costing myself money right now. The goal with Noble mobile mobile is to encourage us to look up at our children's lovely faces like touch grass, appreciate life. A friend of mine calls these things are rectangles of sadness. So we're trying to change that and improve everyone's relationships with their phones. It's a very noble cause. Well, thank you, sir. That's what he is. Been on YouTube for 20 years. The original political partner on YouTube, the young Turks, the young Turks, the young Turks. Godfather of independent media. Favorite news platform by bar. Oh, it's not even close.

The Young Turks. It's the largest online news show in the world. I watched you guys before I had a channel at all. And I watched Jenks, so Jenks really the start of it all. Big shout out to Cheng from Young Turks. Jenk Yugar, founder of TYT, a man who probably needs no introduction. Jenk, it's so great to talk to you. Great to talk to you, David.

Dan, you worked for a long time, man. Anna Kasparian is one of the most followed and influential progressive women online. I love Anna. Your presence has been essential for me to really grow. Do all of you know the young Turks? This is why what young Turks are doing is so important. I've watched you for many years. You are insightful.

I thank you for that. I was gonna introduce myself, but it sounds like you guys might know it. All right, back on the Young Turks, Jane Hugar. Elliot Morgan joins us. Captain Morgan, great to have you here. Of course, you got to LA on Rebel HQ as well. And also we've got Chad Cabalow. 7909 joining us through YouTube.

Thanks for hitting that join button below. We appreciate you guys and we do need that help and we, the more young Turks there are, the better off we are in our ability to bring you the news. And as I often tell you guys, we're not the young Turks, you're the young Turks. So we're doing this for you guys and we serve you rather than the corporate, you know, advertisers and lobbyists that cable news serves. Okay, let's go to the next story. Did you anticipate that Iran would use the straight of Hormuz in the way that it is to essentially choke off much of the world's oil supply?

You know, I thought they could do it, but I thought they'd also have to consider what would be the consequences if they do it. And nobody could predict that with accuracy. Hmm, I thought they could do it. Well, that's not what the Niro Times reported. They reported that you told Trump that they couldn't do it and Trump was dumb enough to believe it. Well, I mean, is that fair? Could anyone have known that they were gonna close the Strait of Hormuz? Well, let's go to the Times of Israel, they might know.

U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Cain warned President Donald Trump before the United States entered the war with Iran that Tehran could try to close the Strait of Hormuz and retaliation. How about CNBC? They wrote in January of the year, disruption through the Strait of Hormuz could cause a global oil and gas crisis, especially when considering the desperate and ill-advised lengths the current Iranian regime may go to should they find themselves increasingly backed into a corner with their power and lives at stake, said Saul Kavonich, head of energy research

at MST Marquis. So apparently everyone knew other than Donald Trump that the Strait of Hormuz could be closed by the Iranians and the people who lied him into that war were, of course, Benjamin Nanyahu and the head of Moussan. That was very literal, they were an art situation room, giving false intelligence to Trump, convincing him that the Iranians would be easy to defeat. They couldn't close the straight and we could get regime changed within a couple of weeks. But don't worry, ABC News asked them, and Netanyahu had a chance to give us even more lies.

Let's watch. The American support for Israel is plummeting, according to a recent poll. 32% of Americans look at your government favorably. That's a 15 point drop in just the last four years. When you think of it like that, do you think that Israel has a messaging problem, an image problem, or a policy problem? I think there's been a change because of the proliferation of social media and the fact that sovereign countries have manipulated with bot farms. Sovereign countries have manipulated America with bot farms. I wonder what sovereign country might do that.

Well, let's go to the Times of Israel again. I guess they would know, right? I mean, they're gonna tell us about the evil Iranians or Qataris or Russians or something. Well, okay, they're in Israel, they would know. So let's go. About half of the politically active accounts on Israeli social media are not real people, but rather bots, including many of those boosting posts by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of his right wing coalition, according to an investigation by Channel 12 News.

Okay, yes, but that's in Israel. And I mean, Netanyahu uses an army of bots in Israel, but he wouldn't try to affect us with that, would he? No, because a guy who killed 23,000 innocent children, I'm sure has the moral qualms not to do that, not to try to affect us. That's why it's weird that this headline also exists. This is from drop site news. Israel is paying millions to train AI chatbots, how to talk about Gaza, and it's working. So, yes, the Israelis have a budget that is over $700 million to do what they call Hasbara. Hasbara is propaganda, literally. Propaganda against us, on us. Now, that's a lot of money, over $700 million.

Why? Because in return, Biden gave him 21 billion in the middle of a genocide. Trump gave them 13 billion in the middle of a genocide, let alone the 38 billion we promised them over 10 years, let alone every other thing that we give them. That's why they have nothing but bots. I mean, all you have to do is go on my account on X. Like 80% of it is rarely bots. Same exact talking points. And by the way, what's interesting, and Elliot, I'll bring you in here.

There's more lies from Netanyahu in a second. But not only do the Israeli bots say like, oh, Israel is the victim. They are poor. But they add, oh, the Palestinians, the Muslims, Iranians. They should be killed. And Jake, you're no good dirty Muslim cockroach. And you should be killed.

And any American who disagrees with Israel is an anti-Semi. So that's what they train their bots to do. If there's one country interfering on our elections and interfering on our media, It is overwhelmingly and brazenly Israel. So what do you make of his lies so far? I mean, I can't say they're shocking by any stretch of the imagination. It sounds like exactly what a leader of a country that's inflicting this kind of damage would say. The propaganda, I think, is pretty shocking.

And also, just if you think, if you zoom out rationally, just a little bit and look at this situation, propaganda works primarily through repetition. It's quantity over quality. And so, like you said, they have a massive budget that they can use to disperse the same message over and over again and even try to manipulate things like AI chat bots by just spamming the internet with the single message. The same tactic has been used since like the 20th century after World War I and World War II when the art of propaganda was like actually figured out. And that's exactly what they're doing. And the fact that they have that money to do it, I think should give people pause when you're considering, okay, who's saying the propaganda here? Is it the people that have $700 million to spend on that propaganda? to just inundate people with the same message? Or is it the Palestinians or the folks in Gaza

who don't have internet access? Or is it the human rights organizations that are notoriously strapped for cash? I think it's a pretty easy answer. Yeah. And where are these pro-katar bots? I've never seen one, right? Like, what I mean by that is not like, oh, I bet that's a real human being putting out a pro-katar message. No, I've not seen any pro-katar messages. Like, if you could find a couple of exceptions, fine, right? But I can show you a million pro-Israel messages from bots for anything from any other country. So, and to be fair to them, these are, of course, the second wave of bots, Israeli bots 2.0. Israeli bots 1.0 in American media are called Sean Hannity, Jake Tapper, Brian Kilmead, Dana Bash. Those bots are 100% on Israel's side and

have been manipulating Americans for decades. All right, Naniao's not done lying yet. One more. Palestinians in the West Bank, many of them say that they're at a breaking point because of increased violence. As you know, a number of Palestinian Americans have died in some of those clashes. Why can't your government prevent that from happening? I think we have.

I mean, look, there have been about a thousand terrorist attempts from Palestinians in the territories against our civilians, men, women, children, families that drive along the roads and their machine gun by these terrorists. So we've been able to prevent a lot of that. Sometimes they're hot-headed, basically juvenile delinquents, about 150 a number, that try to, I don't call it take the law into their own hands because I think vigilanteism is against the law. And we're taking action against them. But put it in proportion, the vast majority of the settler community, 99.9% are law-abiding citizens.

We have to live in peace side by side. I mean, how preposterous. Look, the questions here from ABC News are good. I know, it's Nanyahu, there's no follow-up, right? So if a Palestinian representative said such outrageous lies, they'd stop to interview and pummel them with Israeli propaganda. But Nanyahu gets to say these. So is it really lies?

Well, first of all, they asked him about settler violence, and he said, yeah, the problem is from the Palestinians. No, the problem is not from the Palestinians in the West Bank. The settlers do massive violence against the Palestinians. The Palestinians don't have machinas, that's why they throw stones. And the West Bank, just utterly made up. On the other end, the settlers are well armed with American weapons, which they've even brandished against U.S. Congressman Roe-Kana and against many Americans.

In fact, the Israelis have killed 10 Americans, and we've gotten absolutely no justice, and no one has been arrested. He's like, oh, we cracked down on vigilantes. All right, let me give you some facts here. Human Rights Watch explains as of July 19th, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported 68 Palestinians killed in the West Bank in 2026, at least 13 by settlers. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs since 2023,

there have been over 5,330 settler attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, resulting in casualties, property damage, or both. So, oh, a tiny little fraction, there's only a couple of cases. No, thousands upon thousands of cases. Go on social media, they're now lighting Palestinian homes on fire. We've got American journalists coming back saying they're threatening raping minor girls of the Palestinians to try to drive them from their house. They're lurking around trying to find young kids, and then they beat.

them and urinate on them. The settlers are vicious, religious fundamentalist lunatics. And the idea that they're being held to account is preposterous. So almost no charges are ever brought in any of these cases. But in the cases that were so extreme that the Israelis brought charges, do you know what the conviction rate was, Elliot?

Sign up now at Disneyplus.com. Conviction rate of settlers who did massive violence against the Palestinian. Now, you know, Elliot, that of course, if we had real accountability and Netanyahu didn't want vigilante crime, well, I assume they'd convict a huge number, 90%, maybe 10% of them didn't do it. Hey, you know what, maybe they had some struggles, right? And had, you know, evidentiary issues, et cetera, maybe they only convicted 70%. Well, what's your guess is?

What percentage they convicted of the really significant cases that were brought? I know whatever the number is, it's gonna spiral me into another periodic depression. But I'm gonna say, just to be as nice as possible, I'm gonna say 30%. Yeah, close, you got one of the numbers. Just flip the numbers, 3%. No, oh my God, 3% convictions. And remember, the great majority are not even brought up for any charges at all. I mean, they've killed 10 Americans and no one's been charged for it.

So imagine what they got charged for, and of those only 3% percent, conviction. But Nanielo says, oh, no, no, our settlers are angels being machine gunned by Palestinians. I mean, what an outrageous lie. So, Ellie, what's your sense here? Like, look, ABC News does a decent job of questioning him. But when he says these lies, to be fair to her, I don't know that she's got all those numbers at her, you know, disposal. So should, I mean, and I don't believe not platforming people, but it's so disproportionate. You almost never, ever get the Palestinian point of view on any of these television stations, but they have Netanyahu on 24-7.

So more good or harm comes out of that interview. Right, I mean, the way I see it when you're watching this, it's like very dizzying, because you're listening to this interview and it's like, are we living in the same reality even remotely anymore? And I know it's like a microcosm of what's going on more broadly just with social media and everything right now going on in the States. But like this is one area where it seems like the evidence is so overwhelmingly against Netanyahu that I'm really baffled that there's even a subset of people, let alone a potentially majority

or close to a majority of folks who actually agree with them. And they just eat this stuff up. Like they have no interest in diving another step into it and going, okay, actually let's back check and let's see if he's telling the truth. And whenever somebody presents their position in such a way that they're this just like beautiful soul and this pure person and oh, we're 99.9% perfect. That should like sound some alarm bells in people's mind. And I'm hoping that we're going to find out in the midterms that it has. Yeah, I'll end on this. Look, you remember, of course, that when Trump gets interviewed,

there's this big brouhaha in the press of like, is the interviewer ready to fact check him? Because if they're not, you know, he's going to spew a bunch of lies and they have to make sure that they're on top of it and tell people the reality. But when it comes to Netanyahu, isn't it weird that that conversation never even happens? I've never once heard a conversation in mainstream media about, wait, are you properly prepared to fact check Netanyahu because of his gargantial record of lies? I mean, this guy's been telling us for over 30 years that Iran was weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.

I mean, he's one of the biggest liars of my lifetime in public at all, period. And yet all of cable news, all of mainstream media is like, fact check then, Yahoo, well, that would be anti-Semitic. No, you have to just let them lie and do the wonderful propaganda for Israel. That's why we have them on. So I'm just sick of all of it. And last thing I'll say is, if you support Nanjahu, you're a judge. deeply immoral person. If all those war crimes that, you know, over 76,000 people killed,

dropping 2,000 pound bombs, the equivalent of 13 atomic bombs, that's what they drop in Gaza, a place the size of Las Vegas. Now they have 70% of Gaza and they're going to keep it. They have southern Lebanon and they say they're going to keep it. They have southern Syria. They say they're gonna keep it. So all this for land acquisition, an ethnic cleansing and genocide, and 23,000 children he murdered in Gaza. And if you go out of boy, that's my guy and you like him, you're a disgustingly immoral person. And I just described nearly every cable news anchor in America. Never any criticism of Nanyahu or their beloved Israeli government. They've got plenty a criticism of America and they should.

That's how we make this country better. They have nothing but criticism of Muslim countries. But when it comes to Beloved Israel, it must be protected at all costs. It would be amazing if an American government and an American media, we had people actually representing America. We'll be right back. Back during the social break, let's go to Super Chat. Bruce 3613 says Fox News is a foreign influence peddling propaganda network.

Indisputable. Murdox from Australia, but he's not doing propaganda for Australia. He's doing propaganda for Israel. I've never figured out why. I don't know what his deal with Israel is, but he's one of the most radical Zionists of my lifetime. And again, he's ostensibly Christian, although, you know, I can't imagine that if he worships anything at all, that it wouldn't be Satan. But I don't believe in either one of those things. So he probably makes money all. off of it, but yes, anything that Fox News does always in favor of Israel. Free Meatballs and Linguine says, raising the voting age to 60 to support APEC.

Well, don't get many ideas. They might propose that next. Neil Whittington says, I live with TYT. I live with live with live with live with live TYT. Donald Trump is a fraud with all his lost cases. He learned how to fraud the voting system. That's how we regain power. Such a liar.

So thank you brother. I love people watching at TYT live. Spread the word about the live show 6 to 8 p.m. Share the stream whenever you can. Mekar Dave, I'm reading all these blinds says next time somebody rails against the evil of Mamdani and socialized housing. Daycare, government, health care, and free college say, what have you got? What have you got against Israel? Are you some sort of anti-Semite? Pretty much the same people. So yeah, never any money for America is only for Israel. Joe Griffith, thank you for the contribution. We appreciate it. And I'm out of time. We'll be right back. All right, back on TYT, Jank and Elliot with you guys. Also rare and shiny, which sounds fun. They just joined through tyt.com slash join. And yes, guys, we definitely need it these days.

We're totally besieged by forces behind the scenes, trying to destroy this network because we tell the truth. And we're not cowards. We do it with courage and we do it for you guys. So if ever there was a time to join or donate, it's now tyt.com slash join. We appreciate it. All right, let's go to our next story. Young voters are fed up and they're taking their anger out on President Trump. We'll start off there.

Take a look here. Voters under the age of 50 on Trump. In the fall of 2024, Kamala Harris-led in our polling by just three points. Look at where Donald Trump is. He was within three points of Kamala Harris. Now his net approval rating on the year in the average of CNN polling. Look at that minus 41 points. That is a shift of 38 points away from the president of United States.

That number basically equals na, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, not just for Donald Trump, but for Republican Party overall. And in fact, Elliot, they're panicking over that, aren't they? Yeah, Jenks, sorry, it's taken it back. It was beautiful singing. But these polls are absolutely insane. Here is more from Harry Ensign. If you're a Republican in Congress and you think you're going to escape the unpopularity

that President Trump has amongst younger voters, you got another thing coming. Because just take a look at these shifts. Okay, in the fall of 2024, the choice for House margin, Democrats were leading amongst those under the age of 50 by four points. Look at that lead now, though. Look at that lead now. It's more than four times that.

A double-digit shift, their lead is now 17 points. Look at those 50 and older. Look at that. Republicans led by eight, they now lead by six. Basically the same. Generally believe, predictor, of course, and how things will pan out is enthusiastic. the enthusiasm gap, if you will.

So the most motivated voters, the people most excited or most, yeah, excited to turn out in the midterms, how is this looking? Yeah, younger voters are as excited to turn out for this midterm as I am. Every single morning I appear with you is like, bam off the screen to quote Emerald-Lagasy. And these are bam numbers. I mean, look at this. Voters under the age of 50, their choice for the House, among the extremely motivated. You know, you go back to the fall of 2024, Democrats only had a two-point lead amongst them. Look at this lead now in a 2026. It's a 46 point advantage among the voters who are most

likely to turn out because midterm elections have lower turnout than presidential years. The extremely motivated is a very key. That's a wild. This is wild. This is a wild shoot. Take taking the words right out of my mouth. All right. So while young voters are flocking to the Democratic party and hopefully they Pokemon go to the polls, voters more broadly are also souring on Trump. This is per U-Gov, 34% of U.S. adult citizens strongly or somewhat approve of Trump's job performance, tied for a record low for either Trump term, while a record 62% disapprove. That's a net job approval of minus 28, also a record low. At this point in Trump's first term, he had a net job approval of minus nine.

At this point in Trump's first term, he also had a net job approval of minus nine again. So just to really hammer that point home. So if you think these numbers are bad, they get even worse. Wait till you see how Trump is doing with independent voters. So Trump's net approval among independence has fallen during his second term to minus 53, a new low for him from minus four at the start of the term. All right. Now, Trump is currently in a bind of his own creation due to a war of choice with Iran,

a war that is incredibly unpopular. In fact, only 33% of Americans think the war with Iran has been worth fighting, while 64% say it has not been worth it. And Democrats continue, of course, to strongly disapprove 96% of Trump's handling of Iran, while 61% of Republicans approve down from 71% in June. So while Americans are largely against the war in Iran, things get a little murkier when it comes to what to do about the war in Iran. 23% believe that the U.S. should continue military action, while another 23% say the military attacks should stop. Three in ten think the U.S. should pause military action and seek a renewed ceasefire through negotiations, while 24% say they don't know enough to have an opinion. Now, allegedly, Trump has been warned about how awful these poll numbers are. Here is more. So Richard Baers is a very well-respected pollster, especially in the White House circles.

So people can follow him at People's Pundant Daily. He's very close, especially to the vice president, but he's close to the president. He's considered the most trusted and reliable pollster by people in the Trump circles. And this includes like Jared Kushner, who has followed him for a long time, Chief of staff, Susie Wiles, etc. So last weekend, or the weekend before last, when the World Cup final was held that Sunday, Trump held a black tie event at Bedminster in New Jersey that Saturday, that was not well broadcast or televised. And one of the people invited was Richard Barris. And so he got the chance to make his pitch.

And his pitch was that the Republicans are in big trouble for the midterms and big trouble for 2028, that the country perceives the war very negatively, perceives Israel very negatively, Bibi Netanyahu very negatively, and Trump currently very negatively, especially independent voters. and core parts of his base, that they really liked his memorandum of understanding in the peace deal, three to one favoritism in favor of it when it was announced. They didn't like him reversing it. And the advice was that Trump needed to course correct and return to the principles of the peace deal, stop the kinetic conflict, get the economy back on track, and return his focus to the U.S. and ideally publicly smack BB around rather than be perceived as BB's bitch.

Yeah, so it's not looking great for Republicans, but according to Harry Enten, Democrats shouldn't exactly start jumping for joy just yet. Here's why. The Democratic Party net favorability. Back in 2018, back in 2018, when Democrats were able to take control of the House, they were actually on the plus side of ledger. They were actually in positive territory at plus one point. Look now in 2026. We're not just talking down there underneath the Potomac. We're talking down there with the Titanic. We're talking 24 points underwater. And this is just the party overall. This isn't the congressional leadership. This is the party.

The party. It's just a terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible brand. Terrible. I want to almost get my Charles Buck. Terrible, terrible. I can't even do it Charles Barkley. But the bottom line is it's absolutely terrible. Now, what is the reasons?

Why is the Democratic brand so terrible? Well, one reason why the Democratic brand is so terrible at this point, the voter's minds is take a look at this trend line. Voters saying that Democrats are too liberal. In 1996, it was 42%. In 2013, it was 58%. Now, the clear majority of Americans believe, and the clear majority of voters say that the Democratic Party is too liberal. So things aren't looking great for the Democratic Party itself, but it seems to definitely be looking a lot worse for Republicans in the midterms. As I see it, it seems to me, that the The idea that the Democratic Party is too liberal might just be because for the past couple

decades, the Democratic Party has developed a reputation for being kind of feckless and not really getting anything done and not improving the material conditions of American citizens. And so they've come to associate the word liberal with doing nothing or with Maga Light and that they're not seeing anything there that they actually like. I personally think that if the Democratic Party were to lean more into progressive policies, that that sentiment might go away. But, Shank, what are your thoughts? Yeah, I wanna get to that in a second because I think the Democratic side of this is very important.

And I think that CNN is being purposely misleading there. In fact, they've been purposely misleading about all of these. The numbers are real. The framing is where the issues are. So but first, you see that bad number for the Democrats and it's real bad. And I'm gonna explain why in a second. But I just, we need to give your context. We gave you all the numbers and there was like a tsunami of numbers.

But guys, the numbers for Trump are historic. I've never seen numbers this bad. So negative 53 with independence, wow. Again, literally never seen a number that bad. So that's just, that means it's like Trump is hated, hated by this country, right? When you lose independence that badly, it's gone, man. So how much will that affect elections? We'll come back to that in a second too.

But then even 37% of his own base of Republican voters who voted for Trump are against this war. And he's done nothing but overwhelming propaganda. They seem to be movable in the beginning. 37% of his own base losing that seemed unimaginably before, but he's lost them, at least on the Iran war. So overall, on a different poll that just came out, his approval is a 32% they're saying that's below the Bush line.

So George W. Bush broke records for disapproval numbers. Trump is now breaking those records. So he's at 32%. Disapproval is at 58%. That is a gigantic negative 26 overall in the country. On immigration, that was supposed to be a big strength of his, minus 17. The economy, which he used to do better than the Democrats at, he's now at minus 32. On the Iran war, minus 38, on foreign policy overall, minus 32.

These are all record breaking numbers. So, and not in the right direction. So, but to me, of all those numbers, the most important one is voter excitement. Because even the Republicans who are still on Trump's side, they're vastly outnumbered at this point. But even among those guys, I don't think a lot of them are going to show up to vote. There's nothing to get excited about here. He said America first and he made America last. He said no wars and he's done nothing but wars, especially gigantic wars in the Middle East.

So the voter turnout, it looks like it's going to be so much higher on the Democratic side than the Republican side. Now let's get to how I think a lot of mainstream media, including CNN, is misleading. Now they keep showing you the numbers for people under 50 and over 50, but they never explain why, why there's this enormous divide. And we've shown it to you in the Michigan Senate race earlier in this show, we've shown it to you in almost every poll that exists. And if you remember, four years ago during the primaries, Democratic primaries, I was showing

you, well, such as they were, and in 2020, particularly, we were showing you those numbers. And in 2020, it was 40 year olds were the demarcation. 2024 became 45 year olds and now we're at 50 year olds. Why? And exactly as we told you back then, it's because the delineation is between who watches TV and who gets their news from online. People who get their news from online are actually much better informed. So on TV they're pretending Gaza's fine and Israel didn't commit a genocide and they're

our greatest ally and they're just defending themselves and they're the real victims. So that is why over 50 year olds have a much more positive image of Israel. They're like, oh, poor Israel, are they okay? What a preposterous lie online. You see Gaza, you don't need anyone to comment on it. You see the starving kids, you see all the hospitals and the schools that have been bombed. You see the whole place has been leveled. I mean, it's the most obvious genocide we've ever seen.

And then it makes it even more obvious that the people on TV are lying. So that's why that divide exists, and if that's why the people on TV are never going to explain, why that divide exists. And finally, to Elliot's question and into the other lie here, so Anton says it's because Democrats are perceived as too liberal. Well, that's one of many factors. I actually don't think that that's entirely wrong. And Elliot, I'm progressive. And the question is, what did they mean by too liberal or too progressive or too far left, right? If they mean Medicare for all, wait a minute, that polls a 70%. If they say pay, if they mean paid family leave, wait a minute, that pulls at 84%.

Money out of politics polls it over 90%. Ending the wars pulls at over 80%. So all of our liberal, progressive left-wing positions on those matters pull incredibly well. So if you go too far in the direction of 80 to 90% of the country, you're not going to make a mistake. That's a great way to go. But there are some social issues that don't poll as well, like now these absurd issues like, you know, ending prisons, prison abolition. Now, you might have seen us have that debate a couple of years back on the Young Turks

with others on the left. You might have thought like, why? That's absurd. Nobody's going to do that, right? But what we saw several years ago is, no, people are actually going to propose that. And now they have proposed that. And that one, along with a couple other issues, are deeply. unpopular. But those have no chance of being, I mean, look, we'd be lucky to get things

pass that are at 90%. We have federal background checks in one poll came in at 97% and we still couldn't get it passed. We're definitely not going to get anything passed about abolishing cops or prisons or any of those. And only a couple of candidates have ever proposed that. But what television does is take a couple of candidates and go, that's it, they're the entire Democratic Party. Boo, Democrats, they're not loyal enough to Israel. I mean, I mean, they're gonna polish prisons. They're all gonna do it. That's not true.

That's not remotely true. 98% of the Democratic Party is not in favor of that at all. So what's actually causing the Democratic leadership to have in the Democratic Party brand to have that giant negative number? It's because Democratic voters, let alone independents, have realized, oh, these Democratic leaders are giant liars. They don't represent us and they're never gonna try to pass. I mean, if you can't pass paid family leave, that's at 84%.

That means you're not trying. You're a liar who works for your corporate donors, and that's why you're not passing incredibly popular bills that would be super easy to pass. Now Israel is a part of that, it's definitely not the whole of it at all. But Elliot, my sense of it was that Israel is like the tip of the iceberg that made people realize that the iceberg exists. When you see Schumer and Jeffries, obviously selling out for Israel, you think you're wait a minute, what else are they selling out for?

And when they don't pass any of these bills that are actually popular, then we lose faith. And then all of a sudden they lose to Donald Trump over and over again. So it turns out Democratic leadership had no idea how to win elections and we're never representing us in the first place. That's the core of the problem. Yeah, the iceberg metaphor is really great. Also, I mean, when CNN uses these words like liberal, I think it's worth remembering that to this day, scholars and historians are still debating exactly what liberalism is.

Like, we all kind of have an amorphous understanding of what it means. But because it's so malleable, it can kind of become a placeholder for whatever someone doesn't like in their minds or, for that matter, does like. But obviously, mainstream media isn't going to actually go into like the nuances of that. Also, to your point earlier about excitement, I do think that's what this is going to boil down to. It's not like people are leaving the Republican Party and flocking to the Democratic Party. I think that what's actually going to happen is they're just going to stay home. Like, this is anecdotal, but everyone I know personally who voted for Trump and was diehard Trump has told me in the past couple months that they're just not into politics anymore, that they're kind of sick of it, that they're not interested in talking about it.

And I think that that's going to be more of the same as we head into the midterms. It's not going to be this like, you know, exodus of people. It's going to be people who choose to stay home and watch TV instead, or hopefully even better, the young Turks. Look, I couldn't agree more. I just thought the O'Dirk's point. Seriously, I've been saying now for about six months, voter turnout on the Republican side is going to be disastrous. And I'm heartened to see such strong potential for voter turnout on the Democratic side.

That one I wasn't as sure about because it's impossible not to get dispirited by leadership that's so horrific in Schumer and Jeffries and all the establishment Democrats. But all those people who were excited to vote, add a boy, I love that. Because guys, before we even get to the general election, go vote in your primaries. Television doesn't want you to find out about the primaries are so important. Because after the primaries, they go, oh, well, you got two corporate choices. You got two choices, and they both agree on Israel, they both agree on Big Pharma, they both agree on defense contractors, and they both agree on giving you nothing, right? Go into the primaries and vote for real Democrats who represent your positions.

By the way, no matter where you are on the political spectrum on the left, you don't have to agree with me, you don't have to agree with Elliot, you don't have to agree with anyone. Just go vote your conscience in the primaries, because it'll make a giant difference, and my guess is it'll produce much better candidates for us. And then in the general election, it looks like this could be historic, but we need great candidates on the Democratic side to continue that excitement in the general election. If we get that, then the Republicans and Donald Trump are in a world of trouble. All right, we're gonna take a quick break here, guys, when we come back.

Elon Musk is suing to make sure you could see naked AI pictures online. We'll discuss. Back on TYT during social break here, let me go to Pakistan American for Liberation on Super Chat. Thanks to Trump and war criminal Israel, this is the quote we are hearing. The US used to be a beacon of human rights not anymore. Today it stands alongside North Korea and Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated in the world no longer listens to it. That's the French permanent mission that said that.

Wow. I'm surprised that they were that harsh on it. I'd like to think that we're not in that bad of shape. But on the other hand, because of Israel, we have almost no allies left in the world. It's absurd. So make it make sense. There's any news on the microcrisis in Spain, France, and the United Kingdom? They say thousands invade Spain, day after dozens raft launch from France.

Yes, nine people killed the Spain. Immigrants over ran a fence there. There's also these disastrous, horrific fires that are being lit all over Spain, Italy, and other European countries. And the more things get bad in the Middle East, the more pressure it creates for people to come into Europe and to America. So you could feel a lot of different ways about it, but that's the reality. You'll have a lot more immigration because of all these wars.

And CB1 says, I wish that those people under 50 voted at the same rate as those over 50 do. Couldn't agree more. All right, we'll be back. Back on TYT, Jenkins Elliott with you guys. I'll give you one comment from a member on tyt.com before we go to the next story. Asimov profit says, okay damn leadership, time to show the world your superpower and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Unfortunately that is their superpower. Please don't encourage them.

Okay, all right, all right, let's do the next story. So as AI continues to become more and more part of our lives, it also presents more and more problems like how to hand. sexually explicit imagery created without the depicted person's consent. Well, Elliot, we've got somebody defending the ability to put up those naked images without consent. Who is it? Oh, you're never going to believe it, Jank. It's everybody's best friend and the coolest guy in the world, Elon Musk. So Elon Musk's XAI is currently suing Minnesota over a law to ban notification technology.

a law that is set to go into place on Saturday. So this comes right. Also, as Elon Musk has apparently given up on his dreams of starting a third party and is going all in. He is pledging at least $100 million to help the Republicans in the midterms. So we're going to see how Republicans, who are ostensibly not huge fans of adult entertainment, will handle that development. But the complaint submitted by Musk's X-I AI challenges the Minnesota statute, calling it over- broad, they say, in there, or this is from AP, and the 38-page lawsuit, XAI, whose AI model chatbot and image generator, Grock is available on the social media platform known as X, formerly Twitter and elsewhere, said it does not contest the state's interest in banning

the distribution of AI generated nude images of real people without their consent. But it said Minnesota's law, quote, extends far beyond that goal, banning many constitutionally protected images and video and subjecting the company to a penalty of, of $500,000 per violation. So Minnesota's law, which was signed back in May is the first of its kind in the nation, and it's in attempting to outlaw this kind of notification technology. But XAI's lawsuit is arguing that there's no safe harbor for companies that are in good faith trying to stop this from happening and stop the users from actually using this technology

to create these images. XAI also argues that Minnesota's law would apply to people who make such imagery of consenting individuals or even individuals using this technology to make imagery of themselves, I guess. So the lawsuit also argues that it includes body parts that are regularly shown in public. There's a lot of moving parts or body parts of this, I guess. So Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says his office is yet to even be served, let alone even see the lawsuit, adding, I know that using AI to generate nude images of people against their will is appalling. There are plenty of worthy debates to have about AI policy. This is not one of them. AI notification robs the target of their dignity and can cause immense harm on an emotional,

personal, and professional level. So while Minnesota's law is the first of its kind, there have been others. California had a law that was blocked over First Amendment Free Speech protections. Texas opted instead to have a website or owner liable for civic damage or even criminal penalties if said owner knew the person had not consented to that imagery. And thus far, Minnesota's law has already survived a 2025 challenge by who else? Musk's X-A-I. That's hard to say. The law is distinct from state and federal laws that outlaw deepfakes.

AI generated sexually explicit images of people without their consent. Those laws typically penalize the people who use the tools to make these images, not the makers of the tools themselves. The Federal Take It Down Act passed last year also requires websites and apps to. to implement a process to remove those images. The law also states that the $500,000 penalties will go to organizations that provide services for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse.

It's also raising concerns though about free speech. Technology journalist Taylor Lorenz, who is not typically known for being an Elon Musk fan, posted yesterday, good to see X going to court to defend free speech in this case. She's quote tweeting, someone saying President Trump posted a meme of his cabinet in the reflecting pool. Could that post make X liable for 500,000?

Under Minnesota law, yes, per picture. Minnesota's law bans satirical image generation. And many totally innocuous images, too, X again, steps up to defend free speech. Personally, I would love to hear a little more from Taylor Lorenz about this, because others have also pointed out that the Minnesota law relies heavily on the element of realism. In other words, the imagery has to be so realistic that a reasonable person could confuse it with reality. And based on that photo where Trump has a six-pack, I don't think that's going to be happening anytime soon. However, at the end of day, I do have a hard time believing that X-AI has any genuine concerns about what this law intends to prevent, which is the creation of sexually explicit imagery

of people made without their consent. So is this a free speech issue? Is it a corporation using free speech in order to protect profits, a mixture of both. Jenk, what are your thoughts? Super hard to tell. So in a sense, I'm glad they're going to court because the court will be able to adjudicate this better because the devil's in the details. If you cross over a line, you could really impede free speech. That picture is kind of a funny example of it, but there's it could be plenty of examples where you go, I don't think that should be banned, right? On the other hand, there are a ton of examples where you go, yeah, no, that should be banned.

Hey, nobody gave consent for that, and then take that and then turn it into, you know, the things that they turn it into online. So then, Ellie, there's another issue, which is whose responsibility is it? So if you run one of these platforms, you're not necessarily profiting off those pictures, but there's nonstop scammers and bots and this and that, constantly trying to put up these images and lure people to other places where they're gonna make money off of them. And being able to combat those is very difficult. And then there's this irony here and why maybe X doing this is not such a bad thing, which

is that if you're a smaller platform, your ability to control all of that is very hard because you have less resources for moderation, et cetera. The larger platforms have more resources for moderation. So if you pass laws like this, it might actually even accidentally give a very, you advantage to the larger platforms. Yes, it would cost them more and that's why they don't want it, but it would also give them a competitive advantage. So that's why it's not quite as easy as it sounds, even though of course nobody wants porn or pictures out there or people that did not consent where they appear to be naked or doing other things. Yeah, I think the knee-jerk reaction,

I mean, you hope at least anybody with a soul is against there being this kind of imagery made without consent, there's something just incredibly weird and creepy about it. But there's also nuance to it, like you said. And I think that, like, we should probably buckle up because there's going to be decades, I imagine, of these kinds of trials and lawsuits that need to be hashed out, because AI is going to present just a plethora of problems that I don't think we're even remotely prepared for. And it's going to be a lot on lawyers and figuring out how to protect our rights and our free speech and also protect children. And that said, though, like, When you have someone like Elon Musk who creates a version of Grok called spicy mode,

I don't know what you can expect except for that technology to be used for nefarious purposes. No, that's an excellent and hilarious point. I mean, what's the point of spicy mode? So he's like for him to complain about this is quite ironic. Right. But but you know, one more question about that, Elliot. And this is like has nothing of politics or anything like that. It's just the, sometimes I feel like what's the point?

AI is gonna win, right? Technology is gonna win and eventually this is gonna exist for almost everyone. And we're not, the horses out of the barn and we're not gonna be able to get it back in. But that sounds the fetus. And maybe we get used to it and then realize, yeah, you know, ignore that stuff. It's obviously not the real person, right? They didn't give consent. Scarlett Johansson didn't give consent for that, et cetera.

So I'm not often a defeatist. I'm usually big time optimist, but is there any way you think that we're actually going to be able to stem the tide of this and push it back? Yeah, I mean, I would say you're being more of a realist than a defeatist based on just the history of technology in general. I think that like in terms of the horse getting out of the barn, I think the horses are like escaping in droves out of the barn and all of the of this legal stuff to figure out the nuances is maybe a way to get a few of the horses back.

But no, by and large, I think they're gone for good. And it's not like a defeatist thing, nor is a pro-AI. I think it's making a historical argument. At the same time, it's not exactly the same as just technology as, you know, capital T technology, because it is so heavily tied in to our everyday lives and to our families. So there is other factors. It's above my pay grade. Like I think people, the experts, this is something they need to figure out essentially. And I don't know that they'll be able to anytime soon. Yeah, no, if that's about your pay grade, get ready for the next question I'm going to ask you. Now, you are a philosopher.

So Dr. Morgan, what if there was a holodeck where you could create this stuff, but it's not public. It's only for you, but you could take a public figure like Scarlett Johansson or someone and have her recreated in a holodeck? Ethical or not? Ethical, I'm not sure, but I would say that kind of already exists. It's called the brain. And hopefully people can keep that stuff locked in there as much as possible. Ideally, your brain's good and clean too. But yeah, you do have the ability in your head to make up whatever you want. I think the moment you start sharing that and disseminating it and making it something that other people have to have their brains.

filled with, then yeah, you've definitely crossed the line. That is a very fair adjudication. We appreciate it, Dr. Moore. Thank you so much. Okay. All right guys, check out Elliott on Rebel H.U. And stay right here because when we come back, we've got a Christian nun who's going to join me and tell me how it is in the Palestinian territories.

Spoiler alert, not good. We'll be right back. Tired of the doom scroll, you're not alone.
