The Young Turks - Promises Of War - May 11, 2026

Episode Date: May 12, 2026

Benjamin Netanyahu is now openly signaling the Iran war is far from over, even floating the possibility of U.S. troops entering Iran to secure enriched uranium as fears of deeper American involvement intensify. Neoconservative writer Robert Kagan warns in a dramatic new piece that Washington is facing “checkmate” in Iran and may no longer be able to control the consequences of the conflict. Meanwhile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasted Marjorie Taylor Greene as a “proven bigot and antisemite” during a clash over Gaza.

Sorry, big time.

I'm so upset. Oh my God. Begha. It's Jane Cougar, Anna Kisperian with you guys. She's wearing the fire dress, so you better watch out. Fires headed in your direction. So speaking of fire headed in our direction, Netanyahu has ordered us back into the war. We're gonna give you the clips in a minute or tell you about exactly what he said.

He actually gave us three different directives. We'll tell you what they are and our chances of following them, which is very high. them which is very high. But then one of the top neocons in the country and in the world says we've already lost in Iran. That was shocking. So we'll bring that to you guys. Oh, a cheerleader for the war is admitting now that the war is a failure and maybe our best option is to end it and just admit that we failed. That is shocking because they never admit that. So that is amazing. Then AOC versus MTG, that's a fascinating Discussion and debate we'll have later and we've got a poll on it for you guys.

And then, you know, the usual litany of Democrats selling out Republicans being terrible guys. You got it. Let's do it. All right, let's begin with the latest updates in the war against Iran. It's unbelievably weak, I would say. I would call it the weakest right now. After reading that piece of garbage they sent us, I didn't even finish reading it. I said, I'm not going to waste my time reading it. I would say it's one of the weakest right now.

It's on life support. They understand, these are all medical people. Dr. Oz, life support is not a good thing. Do you agree? Diprognostic. I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support where the doctor walks in and says, sir, your loved one has approximately a 1% chance of living. There you have President Trump talking about the ceasefire with the

Iran being on life support as opposed to the reputation of this country, which is also on life support. And is it really a coincidence that President Trump rejected Iran's peace proposal on the same day. CBS News aired their 60 Minutes episode with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Enjahou in which he said that the war ain't over yet. Jank, what do you think? No, I don't believe it's a coincidence. So we're about to find a couple of interesting things here. Number one, to what degree are we controlled by Israel? And we are now getting to 11 out of 10 because of this story.

You'll see the details here. And what is making Donald Trump go back into the war? Not just Israel, but his overconfidence on a couple of directions. So we'll talk about both of those things after Anna Tate. We've been given by Israel. So in order to really understand this story, we're going to just take a little dip in the Netanyahu interview pool. He was interviewed by Major Garrett on 60 Minutes, and he was asked by Garrett, if the war is over, and if it isn't, who will decide when it is?

Netanyahu responded with the following, quote, the Iran war accomplished a great deal, but it's not over because there's still nuclear material enriched uranium. That has to be taken out of Iran. There are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are still proxies that Iran supports. There are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce. Now we've degraded a lot of it, but all that is still there, and there's still work to be done. Okay, so basically, that's his way of saying the war isn't over yet. He pretends to be concerned about the enriched uranium. That's always been a cover story. He doesn't care about the enriched uranium. He just wants to keep bombing Iran until he gets a failed state or regime change.

The other thing that he mentions are the ballistic missiles, as if a sovereign country doesn't have the right to have this type of weaponry in order to defend themselves, especially in a region of the world where they have a hostile country like Israel in existence. Now Garrett asked in response, so this war cannot end until all those things are eliminated? To which Nanyahu declared, can it end with as President Trump has led now, of law, blockade and economic pressure on them to do it with non-military means, fine. If it can be accomplished, why not? But if not, both the United States and Israel, we both agree, President Trump and I, that if

necessary, we can reengage them militarily if it's necessary. Now I want to be clear that reengaging militarily will accomplish absolutely nothing. There's no indication that the United States would be able to be able to do. to retrieve that enriched uranium, besides which, obviously, that material has been separated and hidden in different areas of the country. On top of that, the enriched uranium isn't even something that the Israelis really give a damn about. Again, that was the cover story. There's no indication that Iran will stop with their ballistic missiles, nor should they. I wouldn't if I were Iran, or a leader in Iran. So re-engaging militarily does absolutely nothing. It accomplishes absolutely

nothing. But Netanyahu doesn't want the war to end, which is why I believe, yes, Jank, Israel controls the United States when it comes to foreign policy, certainly 100%. And okay, fine, you want to reengage, reengage. But I think Iran needs to rethink their strategy, and you need to make Israel cry uncle. Because the person who decides whether or not this war ends, unfortunately is not the president of the United States. It's the prime minister of Israel. So make him cry uncle. That's what I think. Go ahead, Jank. So two things, we're about to find out altogether if it's 100%. Let's please stop having these nonsensical debates.

Okay, it's not a debate, it's not a debate. Look guys, I'm just telling you ahead of time. So you can see with your own eyes. So you don't have to trust anyone on it, you don't have to vote on a poll, you don't have to debate it, you're just gonna see it, right? If Trump says, no, we're not going back in, then we're not 100% controlled by Israel because Israel made it now crystal clear that they want us to go back in. On the other hand, if we do go back in, it's also crystal clear that we are 100% controlled

by Israel because that we have no reason to go back in, I'm gonna come back to that in a second. We have no reason to go in in the first place. But guys, at this point, it has become clear and later in the program, we're talking about even neocons are writing, checkmate, if we stay, if we leave, it's bad, if we stay in the war, it is an epic disaster, economic collapse impending. And Trump is willing to risk that, why? It doesn't, it makes no sense other than Israel has ordered him and he will do anything Israel orders him to do.

Okay, so how are we going to go back in is the next question that we're gonna address. But first, I want you to know that his listed demands were not just the ones that Anna read. So yes, he says take out all their enrichment, enriched uranium, but Iran has already offered that to take it out of the country for 12 years. So what more do you want? That goes to what Anna said, which is they don't care about the. enriched uranium because Iran, this is their third time saying you could take out all the enriched uranium. They settled under Obama, they said it before the war started, and they're saying it right now

in their latest offer. And every time Israel goes, no, rip it up, rip it up, make sure that they could still have nukes, because that's our only excuse to go into this war, right? So it's definitely Israel keeping us in this war when Iran has overtaken us a takeout. Enrichment facilities. Trump already said we destroyed all of them. We have to destroy all of their ballistic missiles. Are we gonna stay there decades? What kind of insane standard is that that would destroy every missile? But on top of that, guys, he says Israel must be able to control Iran's foreign policy. Iran cannot interact with Hamas or Hezbollah or any other proxy that Israel doesn't want.

No country is going to hand over their foreign policy to another country. That's insane. You put those insane. Well, that's a good point. John gave me a little bit of look there. John's our stage manager, and I thought, well, we put our foreign policy. policy in Israel sense, but that's only because our politicians are bribed and blackmailed into it, but you would never do it voluntarily, right?

So okay, all of these standards are purposely impossible, and yes, Netanyahu added regime change back onto the table. So no- Then you go get your regime change, bitch. You go get your regime change, bitch. Okay, Major Garrett asked him, oh, you wanna get the enriched uranium? Okay, great, are you talking about US troops or Israeli troops? By the way, thank you for asking that question, Major. But the way he framed some of his other questions I took issue with, nonetheless, he asks,

if it's necessary, meaning to get the enriched uranium, how do you envision the highly enriched uranium will be removed from Iran? Netanyahu responds, you go in and you take it, take it out, he laughs. At that point, Major Garrett asks, with what? Special forces from Israel, special forces from the United States working in tandem under international supervision? And here's what he says, because he means the U.S. He means U.S. troops. Of course.

He means the cannon fodder in our military. You know, the dispensable human beings that he uses and abuses to his liking. That's who Netanyahu is. Scum of the earth. Iran needs to save some of that heat for Tel Aviv. Okay, I get the tactics with hitting the Gulf region, especially with the latest reporting, by the way, showing that Abu Dhabi was secretly attacking Iran alongside Israel and the United States. The UAE was. The UAE, Abu Dhabi specifically, though. Okay, yep.

All right, but let's get to what Netanyahu said in response to Major Garrett. He says, well, I'm not going to talk about military means, but the president, what President Trump has said to me, quote, I want to go in there. I mean, he said that publicly. He said it. And I think he's right. Okay. So basically, it's his way of saying the U.S. obviously, because Trump, like a moron,

says we have to go get the enriched uranium, essentially parroting the talking points, the bad faith talking points from the Israelis. Yeah, and what he's trying to say is Trump's already on the record. Trump, you can't turn around. You already said it. And he continues, he said it, I think he's right. He's very committed to this. And I think that can be done physically.

So obviously, troops on the ground. That's not the problem. If you have an agreement and you go in and you take it out, why not? That's the best way. Well, first of all, we didn't ask why not. And although I can give you a thousand excellent reasons, we asked whose forces. And look, Major Garrett, yes, I have tons of issues with how he conduct that interview. On the other hand, we got a lot of super relevant information out of that interview.

And he's the only one that's asked. And he asked Netanyahu, U.S. or Israeli troops. So, add-a-boy. That was an excellent question. And you see Netanyahu saying, oh, no, you guys are definitely going back in. He didn't say a word about Israeli ground troops. That's exactly right. And look, it is not surprising to me that on the same day this interview with a notable war criminal was published,

President Trump came out and flatly rejected Iran's peace offering. So Iran's proposal, which Trump, again, rejected on the same day Netanyahu's interview aired, made no mention of giving up their enriched uranium, right? So Iran is basically saying, okay, we can have a discussion about the enriched uranium in stage two. But first stage, we're not talking about that. So here's what Trump said in response. I have just read the response from Iran's so-called representatives. I don't like it, totally unacceptable.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, foreign ministry spokesperson, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson, defended the Iranian proposal as reasonable and even called it generous. It includes an official end to the war, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, withdraw of all naval vessels enforcing the U.S. blockade on ships and, you know, cargo ships going to and from Iranian ports, lifting of all U.S. sanctions, a ceasefire in Lebanon, and an additional 30 days of talks to iron out the details. And then after that phase of the peace deal is culminated, then they can have discussions about the enriched uranium. Iran says that all discussion of its

nuclear program will be subject of subsequent negotiations. And the Iranian document, again, was in response to the 14 point proposal that the Trump administration provided the Iranians a little over a week ago, if I'm not mistaken. Now, Iran took their time in responding to that 14 point proposal clearly. And that shows you that they don't really feel this sense of urgency because they've got some cards to play, namely the Strait of Hormuz and the fact that if kinetic war, begins again, if they re-engage in that way, Iran has threatened to take out more oil and gas infrastructure in the Gulf, which Trump certainly does not want.

Yeah, so guys, you're not getting a full picture here in the US of how bad it is, because our press at a bare minimum keeps debating Trump's lies. So like, oh, is the war almost over? Tons of people think the war is almost over. In fact, Wall Street thinks the war is almost over. And Trump just today bragged about Wall Street's at record highs. The war hasn't hurt us at all. And it's encouraging him to go back in because he thinks there's been no consequence at

all. So the idiots in Wall Street believing Donald Trump's lies through, because the media is saying like, could be, yeah, could be that war's almost over. And it's not the economic consequences are bad, but we can debate it. We can debate. No, no, no, guys, gas has already gone up 50%. If we were covering this war like Fox News covers a Democratic president, every single cable news outlet would be like 50%, 55%.

It's now gone up 60%, 65%. Oh my God, what is it gonna stop? Right? And by the way, that would be somewhat justified. The price of gas is super important to the country to all of us, to all of our families. But Israel wants the war so you're getting super muted coverage about how disastrous this war is. I think the American people get it. Let me turn to the latest Washington Post ABC News poll.

So a Washington Post, ABC News, Ipsos poll conducted in late April show that Trump's war in Iran is as unpopular among Americans as the Iraq war was during the year of peak violence in 2006 and the Vietnam War in the early 1970s. Yeah, so despite the media just kind of soft peddling it, and by the way, the Democrats soft peddling it. Totally. I don't see any fire breathers out there going, what is this? Why did you do this to the American people?

Why are you listening to Israel? This is insane, right? No, shh. Instead, they're attacking Israel's opponents like Marjorie Taylor Green. Anyway, so that's another story we'll get to later. But guys, on the deal, this is really important. There's three causes that I need to emphasize here. Iran offered up reopening the Strait of Hormuz immediately.

That's actually an enormous concession by Iran. They should save that to the end if they're going to. were doing normal negotiations, hey, you give me this, you give me that, then I'll open up the straight of hormones, because that's not just their biggest piece of leverage, it's almost their only piece of leverage. It's their only leverage. But it's gigantic, so they're offering that up first. So we should take that and run, that's a great offer.

Second of all, behind the scenes, in their discussions, they've already offered to take out the enriched uranium for 12 years. So it's not like that's a real issue. So if we get to the next 30 days, we already know what their concession is. So those are the only two things we want as America. In fact, they're in a new tree Indian, we really don't care about it all. They're nowhere near a weapon, but fine, even if you were to concede that we care about that, they've already offered up on a silver planet.

So you get to the third provision that is by far the most important out of all of this. Iran demands a ceasefire not only apply to Iran and to U.S. and Israel and to the Gulf countries, but to Lebanon as well. And that's the deal breaker, because Israel wants southern Lebanon. That was an enormous point of this war. Distract everyone, destroy Iran, keep them busy so they can't help Hezbo too much. And I have American media perfect squirrel. Here's your war.

Now don't tell anyone what we're doing, the atrocities we're doing in Lebanon. So Israel is never gonna stop this war until they think they've got to, they've solidified the theft of southern Lebanon. Look, Nanyahu isn't going to call for the end of the war, unless he's incentivized to call for an end to the war. Iran is not going to give Netanyahu concessions. So give him a reason to want to end the war and read him between the lines. Okay.

Let's do one other angle to this story and then we'll take a break because I wanted to talk about some of Netanyahu's other comments. So let's get into it. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sat down for a lengthy interview with CBS's 60 minutes. And during the course of that discussion, some interesting topics came up, namely, you know, whether or not Israel is ever going to stop suckling at the teat of the American taxpayer. And here's what Netanyahu lied about. He said, oh, totally, totally.

I really want to wean Israel off of America's money. I don't believe it at all. Let me give you his exact statement. We'll discuss it. So he says, quote, I want to draw down to zero the American financial support, the financial component of the military cooperation that we have, because we receive, we receive $3.8 billion a year. I think that it's time that we weaned ourselves from the remaining military support and go from

aid to partnership. So I want to draw down. And I want to suggest projects, joint projects, for Intel, no thank you, for weapons, for missile defense. Israel, I think, has, you know, is a leader in this, in the world, many countries come to us for it, doubt it. Okay, I don't believe him, especially since he was trying to get the United States to sign on to a 20 year MOU, which is again the yearly military aid package that we give to Israel. Usually it lasts about a decade. He wanted to multiply that and make it 20 years instead. Yeah, so it's not a question of whether you're believing because we're gonna show you that

He told you that we're not going to end it. We'll get to that in a second. But first, he's saying in that part of the clip, give me all of your military support. So, oh, will wean off to $3.8 billion? But I'm still going to demand all of your intelligence, all of your military. If I ever want to attack anyone, you have to give me everything I want. You have to give me defensive missiles for Iron Dome. You have to give me this, this, and this.

So already right there, reporting it like Israel doesn't want anything more is $100. percent incorrect. And in fact, that's why I'm most angry at the media, but wait till you get to the second part. So, okay, oh, great, you want to end Israel's funding? We're doing not another dollar.com. We couldn't agree more. So you want to end it right now, right? No. So let me go to the next quote. He said, I said, let's start now and do it over the next decade, over the next 10 years. But I want to start now. Okay, so wait, are we ending it now or are we going another 10 years? Let me repeat. He said, over the next 10 years. He thinks we're stupid, but he's gonna start now. No, no, but- We're gonna start now.

He doesn't- But over the next 10 years. So does he think that the American people are stupid? Of course, that's why he's been bribing our politicians, our media, our pastors, everyone else to manipulate us and trick us into supporting Israel. That's definitely true. But there's a second component to it. He knows that Israel owns our national media, that all of the headlines will be, Israel doesn't want any more money.

Israel's so generous and wonderful, Netanyahu says we're not asking for any more money. They're so great. And that's exactly what happened today. Every headline makes it seem like Israel is being so generous to us. First of all, we don't owe them any money. Everyone in mainstream media is like, oh, instead of asking us for money for 200 years, which we obviously owe them. They're only asked for 10 more years. They're so wonderful. No, they're not. They don't want to owe them a single day more or a single dollar more. And you're all celebrating

that our overlord, our master, has said you will only be chained to them for another 10 years. But most importantly, Anna, this is such an obvious trick. He's worried that they're going to lose everything in 2028 when a presidential candidate wins that is not in favor of Israel. The memorandum of understanding the last 10 years, which they shouldn't have never had anyway, of unconditional aid, which is mental, right? And so he's like, we can't wait until 2028. So we need to sign another 10 year deal now. How do I get another 10 years by pretending I'm not going to ask for any more money? And I know that the media works for me, say they will all lie on my behalf and pretend I'm being generous when I'm asking to rob the American people for another 10 years, which none of them want.

Yeah, look, the Israelis are proven liars. They're never honest about anything. Netanyahu is like the top liar of that country. But one final thing that I'll get into, I need the Israelis and their defenders to understand. People hate Israel because they kill innocent people and they steal land. It's that simple. But according to Netanyahu, no, no, no, no. People hate Israel because of social media manipulation.

Okay. Here's what he said, quote, I think there's been a concerted effort by several states to basically vilify Israel. I think you're doing a good job yourself, Netanyahu. He continues, primarily in the social media and the standard media too, but that's less effective. Yeah, because you guys are buying up legacy media. We know that it's less effective. But let's continue. The effective thing is in the social media.

And we've not fought back yet. So we will have to do that. Okay, what he means by social media is independent media. Okay, he used to be able to get the major networks to serve as gatekeepers, protectors of Israel's treachery. But now the media landscape is far more diversified thanks to independent media. And there are some outlets that won't shut up, that won't be intimidated. Ours happens to be one of them.

So he says we haven't fought, we haven't fought back yet. Oh, you guys have fought back. You guys have tried to get my husband fired from his job. You guys have played all sorts of dirty little tricks. It's not going to work, bitch. It's not going to work. So come at us. It's not going to happen.

We're not going to shut up. I will scream from the rooftops about Israel's treachery if this place goes under. I will never stop. Never. Netanyahu is the enemy. And I won't stop until every single American realizes that. Okay, so have they actually tried to win in social media, of course. So I'm going to give you some of the tactics in a second.

But they're basically saying, this is a confession saying, look, we used to have mainstream media schmucks like you guys, 100% under our control, and we still do. And that's why you call all of our critics anti-Semites and try to ruin their lives. You're part of our Gestapo, and we appreciate that. But now social media is proving more difficult to contain. That is the one thing Netanyahu is absolutely right about. He's right. Social media is very hard to contain it.

So how have they tried to contain it? Well, they tried giving $7,000 to every influencer who kiss their ass. They tried to bully everyone who doesn't agree, put them on a top 10 anti-Semite list, including Mr. Rachel. Ms. Rachel is a top 10 anti-Semite. So they try their usual bullying, Gestapo, thuggish terrorist tactics. destroy any American that dares to disagree. In fact, again, I had a speech this weekend. Every time I have a speech at a Muslim or Arab event,

half a dozen people come up to me and tell me how they were fired from their regular jobs. Not media, not politics, because of a benign thing they put on social media. That Gestapo in this country is terrorizing innocent Americans every single day. But mainstream media is like, not only are you not allowed to talk about it? If you talk about it, they'll send the Gestapo on it. after you and say, oh, he's an anti-Semite over there, attack him, destroy him. Because our mainstream media, Nanjahou's right. It's the total bitch for Israel.

They've been doing Israel's propaganda my whole life. As Israel attacks, attacks, takes more land. They're like, oh, no, it is for self-defense. They are the victims. If you went and listened to mainstream media in America, you would think the Palestinians are occupying the Israelis, not the other way around. You'd be shocked to find out. No, Israel is the oppressor of the Palestinians for the last 58.

years, Israel butchered the Palestinians in 1948, 1967, and ever since then. But so now social media is allowing that message to get out and the $7,000 isn't working. So they bought TikTok. And he's, that's what he means by, we haven't started to fight yet. Larry Ellison, friend of the IDF, who likes to murder Palestinians and contributes money towards that, just bought TikTok. Oh, I'm sorry, I can't do hand motions. Because hand motions are really problematic. murdering 73,000 people in Gaza, ethnically cleansing a million people in Lebanon, not a problem, not a problem at all. Let's condemn Israel's critics.

So you try all those tactics, Benjamin Netanyahu and all cable news anchors, and all of you powerful people in America that serve Israel like dogs, and we'll tell people the truth, and we'll meet you in social media and see who wins. My guess is we're going to win because there's too many of us, and the dam is already broken and we're already past the gates. So you keep trying to call the entire country anti-Semites. You try to bully and intimidate all of us and try to destroy social media and see how that works out for you, Benjamin Netanyo, and the rest of you pigs in cable news and in

the U.S. Congress who all work for Israel. All right, we'll be right back. I picked those drapes in my first term. I just saved curtains. All right, back on TYT, Cabbage writes in, when the petro dollar becomes a petro on, BB will pull back because his biggest enemy is the US. No, I, so I hear people saying that, I don't think so. I think Israel doesn't think we're an enemy.

Israel just sees us as giant suckers, a piggy bank to just rob, abuse in every way, humiliate. Israel sees everyone and everything is an enemy. Every, or something to be taken advantage of. Right, yeah. It's a treacherous country. Don Dada Dragon says that enriched uranium wouldn't even end up in US custody. Israel would most likely take it for themselves like they did when they stole our nuclear secrets. They didn't just steal our nuclear secrets.

There's 600 kilograms of uranium that went missing with a Zionist in charge. Oh, but it was just a coincidence. That probably happens all the time. They also stole the switches that allow the nuclear weapons to trigger. You know who stole those who aided and abetted that theft? Benjamin Netanyahu when he was a young Israeli operative in America, part of the Pinto Project. So they have stolen and stolen and stolen from us. They have betrayed us, they've taken our money, they've made us complicit in their moral

crimes. They called it the Pinto Project, really? Yeah, it's amazing. Jenks left triceper fury says, when Anna wears the red dress, we have the white flag. We wave the white flag. Okay. WTF, are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?

says I love this TYT community. It's as simple as that. Crazy Lid Asian says, just wait for the doubt being over $50,000 than anything is possible. Yeah, by the way, we're almost there. So we're gonna fight back against the evil Israeli regime. We'll see who wins. We'll be back. All right, back on TYT, Jankanana with you guys. CDN, Norse Dog Dad.

Robert Kagan, the co-founder of the neoconservative project for the New American Century, has confessed that the United States has, has officially lost the war against Iran. And ending the war might be the least bad option, as he writes. Now before I give you the details of his argument, Jank, your two cents. This argument was shocking. This is one of the top neocons, Israel firsters in the country. And even he's waving the white flag and saying, we can't possibly win.

But wait till you see his alternative. Go ahead. By the way, let me just say that this genius who's giving us his expert analysis, here was one of the main cheerleaders goading the United States into attacking Iran. Genius, total genius, right? I believe Harvard educated, but couldn't figure out that Iran was going to close the Strait of Hormuz. Was too much of a genius to figure out that Iran would attack oil and gas infrastructure in the Gulf region? These are the people who get paid the big bucks to share their analysis on foreign policy.

Yeah, Anna, I have a secret theory about this, which I want to share with you guys in a second, because it's not about their intelligence, obviously. They're all super smart. That's why they manipulated us into the Iraq war and their Iran war twice. But why is he potentially backpedaling out here? That's an interesting theory. But first tell us why he recognizes it's over. We lost.

So the first thing to understand about this guy, Robert Kagan, is he's anything but a dove. Okay, he's married to Victoria Newland, who I've got issues with, but she previously served as deputy national security advisor to former Vice President Dick Cheney. So that's who Newland is. She was also the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs in the Obama administration. Now, Kagan absolutely loves war, especially on behalf of Israel. In fact, he was a huge cheerleader of the Iraq war and does not see the Iraq war as a failure.

In fact, in the peace, he said that the war. the initial failure in Iraq was mitigated, mitigated by a shift in strategy that ultimately left Iraq relatively stable, did it, and unthreatening to its neighbors. He means Israel, that's what he was talking about. Okay. But let's get into what he has to say about the Iran war. He does not have similar views on the Iran war. He believes that the United States has been defeated.

In fact, here's what he says. Defeat in the present confrontation. with Iran can neither be repaired nor ignored. There will be no return to the status quo ante, no ultimate American triumph that will undo or overcome the harm done. So he dives into the issue with the Strait of Hormuz, something that honestly a novice would be able to predict, but here's what he says. The Strait of Hormuz will not be open as it once was.

With control of the straight, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world. The roles of China and Russia as Iran's allies are strengthened. The role of the United States substantially diminished. Thanks Israel, appreciate that. By the way, I mean, is that a major loss for Israel to know that U.S. power has been diminished? He further writes, far from demonstrating American prowess, As supporters of the war have repeatedly claimed, the conflict has revealed an America that is

unreliable and incapable of finishing what it started. That is going to set off a chain reaction around the world as friends and foes adjust to America's failure. Finally, Kagan admits defeat, saying that if this isn't checkmate, it's close. In recent days, Trump has reportedly asked the U.S. intelligence community to assess the consequences of simply declaring victory in walking away. You can't blame him. He says, walking away now could seem like the least bad option.

But, Jake, what is it that he genuinely wants? So there's two things. He says in the piece, look, the only alternative is a full scale invasion. Genius, he's a genius. Brown troops, obviously American, not Israeli, Israeli lives are way too precious, everyone knows that. You American lives on the other hand, expendable. So he said we can go big like that, but he doesn't make a big case for it to be fair, right?

He just says that's the only other alternative. But he even acknowledges even in that alternative, like he says if you just try to wipe out their civilization through bombing alone, now again, he's wink wink send me ground troops, right? But if you do it through bombing alone, they'll just bomb the Gulf countries facilities. It'll take a decade or more to rebuild those, it'll be catastrophic. economically. So now, okay, so he sets up that alternative and that's one of the, you know, hidden motives of this piece, right? And he's getting everybody to pay attention to it because

this is one of the top Israel first guys going, we lost, we lost, checkmate, right? So, but there's a second potential reason, Anna. And I think that the Israeli backers are splitting among themselves. I think that some of the Israeli backers are going, wait, why are we doing this? because they all know, they are Harvard educated, not all of them, of course, but plenty of them, et cetera. The guys at the top are very well educated, very smart, they know. So those guys are saying, look, we're going to destroy the American economy. I'm not sure that helps us because a lot of us are in America.

Do they even care if it helps or hurts us? No, no, no. They don't care about us. They're worried about their own money. Okay. Okay, because most of their money is in America. So some of them have begun to worry about that. Oh, okay.

I know, then they won't have enough to send to Israel. Are you worried about your portfolio, Kagan? 100%. Okay, so that's part of what's happening here. But most importantly, a bunch of the Israelis have realized this is the wrong strategy. We're only gonna get dragged in further and we don't have that many interceptors. I don't know why Net Yahoo keeps going further into the war. Well, if Iran doesn't stop, they think at any point they go, okay, we're out of interceptor missile.

Seasfire, I took southern Lebanon, I took Western Syria, ceasefire, but what if Iran goes, yeah, I don't give a damn about your ceasefire, no ceasefire. You want to know why? Because Iran is actually way more honorable than Israel would ever have us believe. If I were in Iran's shoes, I would still be bombing Tel Aviv right now. Yeah, I don't know why they're letting them reload. Oh, you think that our 10-point proposal is garbage? That's what Trump said in response to the Iranians today.

Okay, okay, great, well let the bombing commence. We're gonna focus on Tel Aviv. Yeah. Until the Israelis say, please stop, please end the war, please, we can't take it anymore. So Anna's not just saying that, you know, because we're all greatly frustrated with Israel, it's strategic. It's a strategy, yes. Because what Kagan is basically saying right now is Anna's right, we can't keep going.

What if they start leveling Tel Aviv? Well, hey, we gotta get out of here, man. We thought maybe we could do an Iraq here. and get the sucker Americans to spend trillions of dollars and lose thousands of men on our behalf so that they could do regime change. But it looks like it's not gonna happen, it's not gonna work, the economy's gonna crash. We might even lose some of our precious money, right? So like this is a big problem and in the end it's gonna cause Israel.

The only thing they care about on planet Earth, Israel more damage. So maybe we gotta backpedal out of here. So what you're gonna see, if I'm right, what you're gonna see going forward is a bigger between the different Israeli sides. Some going, hey, let's go further in, be maniacs and lunatics and others going, why are we being lunatics? We already had America locked up. They didn't even know that we were robbing them blind for all these decades.

They didn't know we stole all their nuclear secrets and their top secrets and their uranium and we got them to pay for all our wars. Now you're making it obvious, you schmuck. Let's get the hell out of here so they don't catch us. You've been caught though, you've been caught. It's too late, yeah, you're caught. Yeah. Just because they're not saying it on cable news, those bought bitches don't represent anyone, okay?

Oh, you didn't get caught by a 98 year old watching MS now. Congratulations, okay? It's already over, but I like that splinter group because I want the war to stop, I want there to be peace. I want anything on earth that can stop the genocidal Israeli government that exists today. That's true. But the only way for that to work is, again, the strategy that I mentioned needs to be carried out. And Israel is really lucky in that the very country that they fearmonger about as if they're vicious barbaric animals has carried out this war with far more honor than the Israelis have carried out anything. So I haven't seen them target civilian infrastructure the way the Israelis do.

I haven't seen them do anything other than specific strategic targeted strikes, which have worked, by the way. Targeting the oil and gas infrastructure in the Gulf has been very persuasive in getting Trump to agree to that ceasefire. The reason why he stopped bombing is because he's like, okay, the bombing campaign is only, you know, destroying the global economy because of how Iran retaliates strategically. No, no, there's no question about it. If anybody in media were honest, Israel has hit civilian target after civilian target in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, you know, hospital schools over and over entire villages at a time. If we really meant the word terrorists as it is defined, there's no question that Israel would be defined it as a terrorist government, right?

And who has tried to hit more civilians? Iran or Israel, not close at all, definitely Israel. Israel has killed about 100 times the civilians of Hamasso. or Hezbollah or Iran, and they have a worse civilian kill ratio. So if there was any objectivity in our news, they would all tell you that we're backing the terrorist state. And yes, it's not a matter of Iran being honorable, it's a matter of Israel being terribly dishonorable.

And they never listened to a ceasefire, they violated literally thousands of times, they target children. And now is now Nicholas Khrasov confirming in their, and now, is now Nicholas Khrasov confirming in The New York Times, they're using dogs to rape Palestinian detainees. Good for Christopher reporting the truth about that, by the way. Dana Bash should acknowledge that reporting because she's the one who on CNN denied that Palestinians were getting raped by IDF soldiers. That's because she lies for Israel all the time.

All the time. She's not remotely objective and CNN has her on specifically to lie on behalf of Israel. That's why they have almost all of their anchors. So now you see though that even the Kagan's of the world are saying, yeah, Those guys who are debating this issue on cable news don't even listen to our own puppets because the reality is we've lost this war. And if you, in his, the unspoken sentence is, if you care about Israel, we gotta get the hell out of there because this is turning really bad for us.

But will the lunatics in charge of Israel even listen to their own friends like that? No, they will not. When we come back from the break, I wanna talk about how the economy is responding or reacting to Trump rejecting Iran's peace proposal. We'll be right back. All right, let's stay with our members on t.yot.com. Nerd Ferguson wrote, and if we leave it's bad, if we say it's worse, have fun with that choice, Donnie, you did this to yourself.

Well, him and the Israelis did it, but he also wrote in, they can go after Jenkerana, but TYT is all of us. We're community, good luck taking every single one of us down. Here, here, brother, I love this community, I love how strong we are and the united we are. Having said that, they will try. They'll try to go one by one. That's what they've been doing for decades here,

terrorizing the American people and having mainstream media cover up their crimes inside this country. I also want to just quickly say hello to the creative director of Force Field Studios. Her name is Catherine Siegel Levine. She happens to be one of the individuals trying to get my husband fired from his job. So hi Catherine.

Yeah, that's because she's He's one of those terrorists who want to terrorize innocent Americans into compliance with Israel's demands. Catherine, I got news for you, this isn't Israel. This is America, if you want to serve Israel, go to Israel, okay, and get the hell out of our country. And if you say, hey, get to travel, do loyalty, then shut up and represent America, care about America. No, you don't. Oh, beloved Israel, fire anyone who disagrees. He doesn't even disagree with Israel.

doesn't have an opinion on Israel. Destroy the families of anyone who disagrees with Israel. That's why you look like the terrorist and you act like the terrorist. But we're not terrorized, okay? Even though you desperately want to do acts of political and psychological and financial terrorism inside America. I've got more on that in the next segment. Nerd Ferguson says, sorry, Panic on Funk Control.

Back on TYT, Jankana with you guys. So a little bit later I'll get to some of your comments about how there's Israeli is trying to get you fired from your different jobs. You guys have written in about that because those terrorists are everywhere across the country. And mainstream media hides their identities, allows them to operate inside America, trying to get everyone fired who disagrees with Israel. And we gotta call it out. That's enough.

It's enough. I don't care what labels they throw at us. If you're going to terrorize Americans, you're the problem. We're not the problem for pointing it out. You're the problem for doing that kind of terrorism inside the country and having your dogs on cable news. Woof for you. All right, anyway, Sol, Roble, we aim to police. That's a fun name.

Thank you for joining us, brother. Fat Satter gifted 10 memberships, Titan of Olympus O3 also gifted 10 memberships. I do you love this community, TYT, strong. All right, go ahead, Anna. All right, let's get into our next story. I want to give you an update on where the economy's at right now, considering we don't have a ceasefire. or an end to the war. While neo-conservative war mongers like Robert Kagan are willing to admit that the United

States has lost the war against Iran and lost badly, it's important to know that the US isn't the only loser, the global economy is. And there's no end in sight because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin and Yahoo declared on CBS is 60 Minutes that the war is not over yet. Here's what he said. The Iran war accomplished a great deal, but it's not. over because there's still nuclear material enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran. There is there are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are

still proxies that Iran supports. There are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce. Now we've degraded a lot of it but all that is still there and there's work to be done. So how much longer can the global economy handle this war dragging on for months, maybe even years. Because oil prices rose today after Trump declared that he would be rejecting Iran's counter proposal for peace, calling it garbage. So US West Texas intermediate futures, they gotta find a better name, and Brent are both up around 40% since the US and Israeli led war against Iran started on February 28th.

City analysts wrote in their latest oil report that prices could rise Further, if Iran and the United States do not agree to a deal, adding that crude markets have been cushioned by high inventories, strategic petroleum reserve releases, weaker demand in developing economies, and intermittent signs of possible de-escalation in the Middle East. I should note that today, Trump apparently is spooked by how high gas prices already are, that He called for a temporary pause on all gas taxes. We'll see if that's actually carried out.

But you know, Jake, something that you've been mentioning a lot on the show, there's a huge disconnect when it comes to the stock market versus what we're experiencing at the pump. Because the stock market is doing stupendously. But when it comes to what we're paying at the pump, obviously prices have gone up quite a bit and will continue to go up as this war drags on. So I wanna go to Graphic Dine, right? So you see when the war started, the markets crash, Trump panics, does a ceasefire, right? And the mark, and he keeps saying the war's over, the war's almost over, the war's almost

over, we won, they're gonna concede on everything, and the idiots in the market have the market go completely back up and back to record levels, close to when Pam Bondi was like, the market's at 50,000, right? So here we are, back at 50,000. in that ballpark and it's given Trump false confidence. So it's a cycle of stupidity that is going to lead to disaster. Because Trump's like, we own this one. And the morons on Wall Street are like, we own this one, everybody, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,

bye, bye, bye, yeah, we're gonna get bye bye bye by by soon. And so now because Trump thinks it's no big deal, he said today, I thought the market was gonna go down 20, 25%. So he knew how much damage he was gonna do to America. on behalf of Israel, but he chose to do that anyway. He said, oh, I took a bullet for this. Why? Yeah, why?

Why? Okay, because you're making America take a bullet. You're making our economy take a bullet along with yourself and your politics. And we know why. I don't care if everyone in mainstream media lies to, it's blackmail. The bribes alone doesn't do it, okay? A lot of people are bribing him, a lot of countries are bribing him. No, at this point, the way he's following Israel, no matter how much

It's obviously going to his doom. And when he only cares about himself, that means the blackmail is worse than him being considered the worst president in history. Okay, so what's going to happen to that market, hear me now quote me later, is when we go back into the war, because Netanyahu just ordered us back into the war, and then Trump ripped up to peace deal, and Trump just said today, there's only a 1% chance we don't go back into the war. Markets didn't go down at all, they're like, no, the war's almost over, buy, buy, bye, Okay, it's going to be a spectacular crash.

So Richard Wolfe, economist Richard Wolfe, made a statement that hasn't left me ever since I heard it, because I think it's exactly right. Markets are slow to react to reality, but then once they do, they tend to overcorrect. So you're right, that crash is coming and it's going to be. Epic. It's going to be devastating to a lot of, I mean, look, When you really think about who's invested in the stock market, about 80% of the stock market is owned by the top 10% of this country. Okay.

But that doesn't erase the fact that a lot of working class Americans have the entirety of their retirement savings in 401ks or IRAs. Stock market crashes. These people who might be getting ready to retire are going to suffer significantly. So I just, I'm so angry about this whole situation. The fact that we are in a war that we should have never been in to begin with, even if Trump was able to accomplish the objectives that he had outlined in the beginning of the war, those are objectives on behalf of Israel. Those aren't objectives that benefit the United States in any way, shape, or form.

We are carrying the costs, we're carrying the burdens, we're suffering the deaths and losses. Whereas Israel gets to bomb from afar and get us to do their job. dirty work for them as they're expanding their borders into southern Lebanon. Yeah, so last two things here. I asked a couple friends who are invests on a big, way bigger scale on Wall Street, right? And I said, what the hell is going on here? These markets don't make any sense. And and they said, the problem jank is liquidity. What does that mean? They're so, the wealthy now have so much cash. They literally don't know where to put it. They're like, what are we supposed to do? Withdraw all of our money from the stock

market and put into gold or cash, et cetera. No, no, no, we've been making so much money every year from the stock market, we just can't quit that crack, right? So, but when Anna's right, when you have a, the markets fluctuate like crazy, the pendulum swings wildly. That's why when Warren Buffett said, hey, how did I make this fortune? I bought low and sold high. And everybody thinks, well, why doesn't everybody do that? That's like, got to be the easiest thing in the world. because they're monkeys on Wall Street. So when people are buying, they all buy like monkeys. And they all go right over the cliff.

And when people are selling, they all sell like monkeys, right? And that's why we have these giant crashes, like the Great Depression in 29, like the 2008 crash, like the 2000 internet bubble. And now we're about to have another giant crash, in my opinion. Okay, don't ever invest based on what I say on the show. Make up your own decision. Timing is absolutely critical. I wouldn't listen to anyone on air about when or how to invest. Now, just as a, but on a macro scale here, what's going to happen?

That's my sense is that they're going to overreact. So once the crash happens, it's going to be spectacular. Because all the rich people are going to think, I got to get my money out of there. And then I'll buy low once the market completely crashes. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, get out of there, right? And they'll get to get out before any of you do. And your 401 case will be obliterated. And I'll add one last cherry on top prediction.

And then the people in power will start talking about bailouts for the wealthy. A hundred percent. Oh my God, it makes me so angry. Why? Why are you making me so angry? It's so true, it's so true everybody. They always do that. They're gonna do that in this case too. And they're gonna wanna bail out some of the Israel first guys who pushed us into this war in the first place.

No. Okay. No mercy. Yeah. No, oh my God, if Bill Ackman comes around looking for money, hey, you made a list, Bill, right, of the college students who weren't sufficiently kissing Israel's ass and you promised to destroy their careers and their lives, good news, we also have a list, okay? So, and our list can't do anything.

We don't have any power, you're the billionaire, we don't have anything. But if you come asking us the taxpayers for money, then you're on the list and I'll do anything, anything to make sure Bill Ackman and his buddies don't get bailed out after they slaughtered our economy and they did it to betray this country in favor of a different country. All right, I think I want to take a break because our next block is going to be a party. It's going to be a block party. It's not actually. AOC versus Marjorie Taylor Green.

Do you work with people across the aisle to end a genocide? That's the real question that AOC is asking herself because she's not a leader. Anyway, let's take a break. We'll be right back. Be nice to me. If you're Christian, in fact, I will fight for you to have your religious liberty and practice your Christianity. I believe in that. I don't believe in Christianity, which means that you do not get to dictate the way I live my life based on your religion. I don't care what the Bible says. You have every right in the world.

All those women who identify with your religion have every right in the world to not get an abortion, to not take birth control. But they do not have the right to dictate my life and what I decide to do with my body. I don't care about your goddamn religion. I'm so tired of having non-stop conversations about what the Bible says. You live your life in the way that you interpret the Bible. Again, I don't care, but you don't get to take the Bible and tell me, while the Bible says this, in this chapter and this verse, I don't care. I don't care. I don't believe in it.

And I have the right, based on our Constitution, to not believe in it. No part of Gaza has been left unscathed. Ain't a whole lot left? I don't know why they need any more bomb. Let us be clear. The United States provided $18 billion in military aid to Israel. Netanyahu indiscriminate department have killed more than 50,000 civilians, 60% of whom are women, children, paramedics, and journalists. All of this is against basic human decency.

You don't starve children with absolutely no humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. It is a war crime. It is illegal for the United States government to provide Israel with more offensive weapons. We'll not forgive us. We've been on our phones too much. I feel like we just need to touch grass or something. I told you. I mean, you know what?

Let's actually do it. Let's touch the grass. Andrew Yang? It's not racist, right? It's him. Yes, it is I. Andrew Yang out here giving money away, as usual. Wait, but literally?

Do you use a phone? Noble Mobile will cut your wireless bill in half every month, and you get paid even more if you log off, look up, and touch grass. Oh, I actually have some grass if you... I don't think that's the kind of grass, unfortunately. Whoa, wait, what the... Whoa. I guess that kind of grass works, too.

All grass works. All grass, and we get cash? Did you see that? Babe! We'll make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it. That didn't rain so good. But now it's raining good. Corruption, injustice, the system is rigged against you.

Every day we're blasted by a flurry of terrible news from every angle, which can make it challenging to stay positive and know how to fight back. The damage report is your solution. I'm John Adirola, and my daily morning show cuts through the noise and exposes the real damage being done to our country, the world, and how we can fight back against it. Corporate greed crushing workers, we'll name names. Politicians selling you out for their corporate overlords,

we've got the receipts. Climate disaster, economic collapse, the rise of fascism, no spin, no establishment talking points, just the truth that you need to survive and resist. But it's not all doom and gloom. We'd love to have you join the Dragon Squad, our community of positive-minded activists who turn the day's news into positive action.

With new episodes every weekday, listen to the damage report to get honest news, unflinching commentary, and daring coverage you won't find anywhere else. Listen to the damage report on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you. you get your podcasts because understanding the damage is the first step to fixing it. This is such a, you know, I think that this is a, um,

extremely political. You are a stiff. Back on TYT, Jankanaana with you guys. And we're also live on X now under the Young Turks account. So check that out if, uh, if that's your cup of tea. And we have, uh, one of our first commenters from X here, Brandon thought. He said, this is this. This is my first time tuning in since Trump got elected for the second time. No hate to the community, I didn't like the pivot. It felt like pandering to the right. I do stand with unity, so I'm back.

Okay, beautiful, good. Now do you see Brandon that we were trying to do unity from the first place on issues that matter and we weren't pivoting to the right and trying to pander to them or anything like that? Anyways, great to have you back. And perfect time because today I'm gonna do member Mondays after the show's over at 8 o'clock. And the topic is, what have you changed your mind on and why? I wanted to be political in the first half an hour that's available to everyone. In the second half hour, that's just for members, it could be about any topic.

What have you changed your mind about and why, okay? So that'll be at 8 o'clock. Anna, what's next? All right, let's get to our next story. I personally do not trust someone like Marjorie Taylor Green, a proven bigot and anti-Semite, the issues of what is good for Gazans and Israelis. She puts this political facade and partisanship above actual morality at the end of the day. That's what I'm recognizing. She calls Marjorie Taylor Green a bigot because of her statements regarding immigration and everything else. At the end of

the day though, what is worse? Statements or somebody like Richie Torres who's actively funding and funding and justifying a genocide for three years? Sorry about that. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew some backlash over the weekend after she seemed to condemn the idea of working with former Republican House member Marjorie Taylor Green on the issue of Israel and Gaza. Now, is political purity more important than stopping a genocide? You can decide for yourselves, but first you should hear AOC's full statement. Take a look. I care about results. I care about results. Now there are certain places where certain areas where I don't think that we should ignore some folks' record on some of these issues, right? It's about where we trust intent, where we trust where those outcomes are going. I personally do not trust someone like Marjorie Taylor Green, a proven bigot and anti-Semite, on the issues of what is good for Gazans and Israelis. I know.

fits our movement in that instance to align the left with white nationalists. I don't think it serves us. And so I think it's about looking at the context, the place, the results, the outcomes, intentions, and where we think that train would go. I'm interested in knowing where AOC's train is going because she has failed to secure a single win when it comes to foreign policy, when it comes to economic policy. honestly when it comes to anything. So her theory of change has not really borne much fruit, but I could be wrong.

Jake, your two cents. Yeah, I'm gonna go a little longer than two cents here because I want to respond to that clip. So I also wanna know where her train of thought is going. She's slowly turning into Kamala Harris. What was that? Long pauses because she's nervous and doesn't want to get any words wrong. Word salads about intent that are hard to decipher and repetition. So I care about results.

I care about results. Okay, I got it, I got it. But do you? So no, no, that's where I'm going, Anna. So wait, if you care about results, Marjorie Taylor Green actually introduced the bill that would have cut $500 million from the money we're sending to Israel. And you voted no. I care about results.

I care about results. So Marjorie Taylor Green is better on the issue of Israel than AOC. is. So that's a fact, no matter how many people on the left will lie to you about it. Oh, no, no, but AOC is better on other issues. Great, hey, on other issues, I'm on AOC's side. On this issue, no, Marjorie Taylor Green is definitely better. And she did it when her party was in charge. She said, hey, Trump is wrong, and she paid a huge price for it. When Biden and Kamala Harris were in charge and financing the genocide of the Palestinians, All we got from AOC was kissy-kissies for Biden and Kamala Harris.

In fact. So those are all facts, super uncomfortable facts for a bunch of leftists who are all care about partisanship and their brands and don't care about Gossens. Pause, pause, pause. I got to actually, there's a difference between liberals and leftists. Anyone who's familiar with the politics of that understand the difference and the distinction. I'm actually really proud of most leftists that I've seen online who are actually incredibly principled on this issue.

And for them, they're like, listen, I hear what you're saying about Marjorie Taylor Green, her past, what her stance is on other issues. But on the issue of Israel, she came over to our side. And if you have an opportunity to work with people across the political spectrum in order to make progress on this issue, you should do it. The liberals though, that's a different story. Yeah, so look, all these terms get confusing. But the terms are important.

But I'm glad, yeah, but I'm glad you're clarifying because I think the great majority of the left is on the right side here and I'm thrilled to see it and you guys are awesome. And I love you for being able to figure it out despite, and what I'm, the people that I was referring to, some of the leftists host or their left wing posts or whatever, right? Not like there's breaking points is great on it, drop site news is terrific on it, all the reporters, et cetera. There's so many people that are on the right side of this. But some people just can't let the partisanship go.

It's like fried their brain or they think it's valuable to their brand or whatever niche they're going for or something like that. But guys, this is not complicated. I'll get back to more of my thoughts on it in a second after and it gives you more of the story. But the reason why it's not complicated is what are we asking to work with them on? Are we working with them on them becoming president? No.

Are we working on our mutual wedding together? No. Are we working on like immigration together? No, we're working on ending the war. So on what grounds could you possibly say no to that alliance? We're looking to free America from Israel's control over us. On what grounds do you say no to that? That doesn't mean you have to agree with them on the carried interest loophole.

This is not at all complicated. And the other thing is, when people on the left realize that there's an issue that they agree with the right on. Do you think right wing members of Congress are sitting around asking this? Do you think they're having debates about, should we work with the people who agree with us on this matter? No, they understand power. They understand winning. They want to win. They want to succeed.

So they don't have these ridiculous debates. I do think there's an issue with liberals and their obsession with partisan purity. And honestly, once you free yourselves from the shackles of seeing everything through the lens of partisan politics, you become liberated, you become more open-minded. You start to notice and see strategies that you can deploy in order to win. Yeah, and you're so right, Anna, because there's this incredibly bizarre alliance between just a select couple of leftist hosts with liberal audiences that have migrated over from MS now to online. And they're like cultivating this 80 year old audience like yeah, Democrat, team Democrat,

hate all the opposed. Oh, they're helping us get rid of Israel's control and end this disastrous war. No, reject them, reject them, yay, democratic part. Like we're going back to the Hillary Clinton years and you're totally right that even their own audiences are like, no, bro. Yes, you're right. Okay, so in fact, I wanna show you some of the backlash that AOC did get. First of all, let me just note that Marjorie Taylor Green did respond.

And she said that AOC refused to vote for my amendment to strip funding for Israel. She can run her mouth all she wants, but votes are the only thing that matters, not a bunch of words and nasty name calling. Facts. That is facts, it's true. And, you know, I'm just. I think it's important to hear from a Palestinian on this matter, considering the fact that Israel carried out a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and continues to do so. So Wally Rashid is a Palestinian content creator.

I'm a huge fan of his content. I highly recommend watching his show. But here's what he had to say about the matter. Visit BetMGM Casino and check out the newest exclusive.

I'm talking right now about Israel's undue influence on the United States. She still treats that, that separate thing, as just another issue. I'm asking you to at least recognize that there are people that are recognizing this undue foreign influence. and others that just treat it as another one of their talking point issues. She puts this political facade and partisanship above actual morality at the end of the day. That's what I'm recognizing.

She calls Marjorie Taylor Green a bigot because of her statements regarding immigration and everything else, which personally I think are discussing if she's ever said something blatantly racist, I don't support that. At the end of the day, though, what is worse? statements or somebody like Richie Torres who's actively funding and funding and justifying a genocide for three years. We're starting to make false equivalences as if words have equal weight to voting on genocide and then justifying the genocide you voted on. Words are not as big of a deal as voting on, justifying and taking part in a genocide. I agree with him wholeheartedly

on that. And by the way, guys, one other thing that I'll say is, I acknowledge that Marjorie Taylor Green in her past has said some horrific Islamophobic things. But the one thing that has happened over the last nearly three years is a lot of Americans, including Marjorie Taylor Green, woke up to the reality of Israel and what Israel is actually up to. And suddenly the wool has been pulled off people's eyes and they can see, or the heads, and they can see what's actually going on. And while it would be nice for Marjorie Taylor Green to address every specific instance of her saying something deeply offensive, fact of the matter is she went on the view and on CNN and apologized for her rhetoric, apologized for the way that she would

talk about Muslim people, right, and realize that she was part of the problem in our political system. You have to give her credit for that because it's not easy to apologize in today's political climate, but more importantly, the reason why I know she wasn't full of it on this issue specifically, on the issue of Israel, Gaza, and what's happening in the Middle East is because Marjorie Taylor Green was willing to go against her own party. And more importantly, the man she supported in every election, Donald Trump, to the point where he started basically telling her when she was reaching out to him about the threat she was experiencing as a result of their TIF. He basically said you deserve it.

Your son deserves the death threats because you dare to cross me. But Marjorie Taylor Green did the right thing anyway on this issue. And to erase that, I think signals to anyone else who might have a come to Jesus moment, don't do it, don't be public about it because you're not going to get any positive reinforcement. No one's gonna applaud you for it. In fact, we're just gonna crush you over it. Yeah, and so what does that do? that discourages people from coming to our side on the most important issues of the day.

Exactly. And so in fact, as I read, as I saw the whole thing, I thought, is she trying to help Israel, AOC? And I'll get back to that as to why. But first, we want to ask you guys, because some of you might disagree. Look, from our perspective, nothing wrong with disagreeing, okay? We hash it out, we try to get to the right answers. So on t.yt.com, we're asking, Should we reject MTG's help in ending the war and Israel's influence in the country? Yes, AOC is right, she's too toxic on other issues to have any relationship with her. That's getting killed so far.

Small tiny amount of votes. Whenever we would do this, we just start voting now. So you can go to t.com. Now B says, no, our house is on fire and we need all the help we can get on ending this war in our toxic relationship with Israel. And that's the one that's winning right now. So let me give you a few more details. And then I want to revisit the poll and see how it's doing it.

toward the end of the segment, okay? Because people rightfully called out AOC's hypocrisy on this, right? So let's go to Kate Willett who says Marjorie Taylor Green is a right wing crank, but so is Ted Cruz. No one was even asking AOC to work with Marjorie Taylor Green in the same way she did with Cruz. But the idea that you have to take a centrist position because a singular Republican sides with the left on one issue isn't even something AOC normally believes. And so she shares a screenshot of a CNN article regarding AOC's willingness back in 2019 to work alongside Ted Cruz in order to pass legislation banning members of Congress from serving as lobbyists immediately after they leave Congress.

Later, by the way, she worked with Republican lawmakers in drafting legislation to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks. Now, both pieces of legislation went nowhere. But the point here is that she was willing to work with all sorts of Republicans that we have issues with on a whole host of political issues. But when it comes to the topic of Israel and genocide and war, I can't work with Marjorie Taylor Green because she's bad on other issues. Yeah, see, unlike her, we won't be a hypocrite on this. I'm not going to go and go, oh, look at that, liberals. She worked with Ted Cruz.

You should banish AOC forever. No. We applauded her for it, by the way. Of course we did because we care about the issue more. Because think about it guys. So that bill was on banning congressmen becoming lobbyists afterwards so they can make a lot of money by betraying us and selling us out. Why would I want anyone to vote no on that bill? I wanted to vote yes.

And if Ted Cruz is voting yes, as much as I loathe Ted Cruz, I'm gonna take yes for an answer. Honestly, on that issue, what kind of moron would say, no, I don't. don't want your vote. Right. Because then you would only be punching yourself in the face. You would be hurting the cause that you are saying that you're in favor of. In fact, Jake, in the same appearance over the weekend, in the same statement that she made about Marjorie Taylor Green, she went on to talk about the importance of working with

people across the aisle. I'm not kidding, here's the rest of it. Take a look. I think it's really about what our outcomes are. And to be honest, there are some areas where things will not get done if they're partisan because they are anti-establishment. There is bipartisan consensus on keeping and protecting stock trading in Congress. And so it's going to require a massive bipartisan consensus of people willing to come together

across those differences to get it done. How is genocide in Israel different though? The establishment overwhelmingly supports Israel and will do anything Israel wants. So how is the stock trading situation any different from policy pertaining to Israel in the Middle East? So I only have two potential theories as to why she's doing this. So I'm gonna get to them in a second, but she called Marjorie Taylor Green a white nationalist, as anti-Semite and a bigot.

That's exactly what the establishment calls her to disqualify. her opinion on Israel, which is the exact topic we're talking about. So you're okay working with Republicans across the aisle, whether it's Ted Cruz or finding the establishment on stock trading, et cetera. Great, we agree with that, right? But you say, but on genocide, what? It's not important enough? On the war in Iran, banning stock trading is important enough to work with Ted Cruz and others

on, but the war in Iran is not important enough to work on. In fact, you're gonna hurt the cause by having one of the leading right wingers in the country that is driving millions of right wingers to our side, you're gonna torpedo her efforts by calling her an anti-Semite, like her opposition to Israel is anti-Semitic? Well, that definitely hurts our cause. So that's hurting the movement, not just Marjorie Taylor Green. Okay, but I've got a lot more.

She says, what's good for the Gazans and the Israelis, look, in the old days, I would have talked about the Palestinians and the Israelis, and I want two-state solution, and I still want that. I'm not overly concerned about what the Israelis need right now. Someone needed to say it, yeah. Someone needed to say, Yugar. Yeah, so she's still talking about like, yes, but we also have to protect the beloved Israelis, do we? Do we?

Okay, so that's not really my top priority right now. And she said Gazansansans, that of Palestinians. I don't know if that means anything, it's a little strange, but no big deal, okay. I don't want to nitpick, okay? But then she started talking about like intent matters, outcomes matter, but wait, outcome is we don't want the war to continue. Marjorie Taylor Green is helping us to try to stop the war. Or we want to stop sending them money.

That's an outcome that matters a lot. A lot, but you said the outcome doesn't matter when you voted against her resolution. She cares about results. Okay, but so then how does that lead to the outcome or the results? Then you talk about intent. Well, Marjorie Taylor Green proved her intent on these issues by taking a political bullet for that. You can't prove intent any better than that, that we are willing to take on Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

An intent you couldn't show when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were in charge. In fact, okay. Let's not forget what AOC said of Kamala Harris during her speech at the DNC, the Democratic National Convention, in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election. Because AOC flat out lied about what Kamala Harris was up to. Take a look. She is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and bringing hostages home. Let us be frank. The Biden administration of which, of course, Kamala Harris was part of,

prepared, you know, the runway for what we're experiencing today under Trump. There was no indication that anyone in the Biden administration was working around the clock to secure a ceasefire. In fact, the Israelis after the election made it abundantly clear that no one in the Biden administration demanded a ceasefire, demanded that they stop the brutal, barbaric activity that they were carrying out in Gaza. So the establishment loved that speech she made. Loved it. The establishment loved her attack against Marjorie Taylor Green. I see all these liberal establishment Democrats going, oh, way to go, girl. Well, okay, yay. War with the Rod's great. I mean, it's bad, bad, bad. So I'll get, but we shouldn't fight it too hard. We should fight the white nationalist harder. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, spare me. So but nevertheless, I'm going to read at least one of your super chats here because I want to give the other side an opportunity away. And Anthony Graham-O said AOC has a 90% correct voting record on Gaza versus Marjorie Taylor Green, who has voted 34% of the time with us. AOC, Talib Omar are way better than MTV on this issue. You're just,

fundamentally wrong. Anthony, it's a good point that you're making. I'm glad that you're bringing that point in because I want to address it. So did Marjorie Taylor Green vote the right way in the past? No, she didn't, okay, even on this issue. But she has now turned around completely. And since her turnaround, she does have a better voting record than AOC on this, but not Taleb and Omar. To leave and Omar were one of only six people in all of Congress to vote with Marjorie Taylor Green. Correct. And so to Summerlee and so did Al Green and so did Tom Massey. So, but in Taliban Omar's vote in that issue, you can see that AOC could have voted with Rashida Taleb and Ilhan Omar and Summerlee, she chose not to vote with them.

Right. That was an active decision. It wasn't like any, no Democrat voted for it. So that point where Marjorie Taylor Green turns around is important. And again, Anthony, I don't need you to love Marjorie Taylor Green or agree with her on any other issue. But on this issue lately, she's been a ferocious fighter against what Israel is doing and against the war.

media spreading that message to millions of right wingers, independence, et cetera. I see Rokana on our side fighting all over media on that. I see Bernie from time to time. I see Chris Van Haun. He should do more, but he's a great senator and doing the right thing. I don't see AOC at all. I don't either.

Fire breathing on this issue, except she's telling me how I got to be concerned for the Israelis and, you know, and then has- She's keeping that powder dry, that's for sure. I'm gonna go to one final video here because you're about to see a Democratic member of Congress who's genuine in her concern over this issue and had her own thoughts about Marjorie Taylor Green. Let's watch. Shifting gears a little bit, I did wanna uplift us for a minute and play some comments from your former colleague Marjorie Taylor Green.

Let's watch this. The American people have to open their eyes and deal with reality and deal with truth. And the truth is, look, you may have supported President Trump for 10 years like I did, like you have, but this is not the same man. What's your reaction to seeing comments like that for Marjorie Taylor Green? Someone has not always been, I think, as collegial to you as she should have been. They are not just coming out like the other ones that you'd mentioned where they're saying, this action is wrong, right?

They're saying, I am done with you. We should give them credit for that. the fact that they've had this wake up call to finally seeing this con man, this corrupt, chaotic man for what he is. The fact that they understand that he never really had any principles outside of uplifting his ego. I love that statement so much by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Because again, she understands. Look, there's two things at play. She understands that humans are complicated and they can change their minds.

And honestly, we need to foster the kind of environment that encourages people, that celebrates people when they change their minds or when they evolve on an issue and come to the right side of an issue. You want to encourage that because you want more people to feel comfortable doing it. But the other thing is Congresswoman Omar understands how you wield power, how you move toward progress, how you secure wins legislatively. You don't do it by shunning people over disagreements in the past. You do it with an open heart by welcoming people and being willing to work with people who come

to your side on an issue. And that's what happened with Marjorie Taylor Green. We didn't go over to her side, she came over to our side. And that should be celebrated, not condemned. All right, last things for me, but they're all important. Look, the two potential reasons she's doing this. The smaller one is some people think that she's gonna run for president, Roe-Conna's gonna run for president. Those are the two people in the Bernie Sanders lane.

So she's taking a shot at working with MTG because Roe-Connor was on TV talking about working with MTG on the Epstein files and on the war, okay? Wait, wait, AOC is thinking about running for president? Yes. Okay, so do you understand the positioning? Okay, and the second thing she went after was, no, it's okay to work with the Republicans on the stock trading thing. Some Republicans are throwing dirt on Rokana on stock trading.

Like, no one else knows that and it's not true. But it's curious that that's the one bill. She said, that's okay to work with the Republicans on. So this might be her like amateurish way of like angling for that lane. Okay, so that's my- Run for a Senate seat. What are you doing? And by the way, in that-

Run for a Senate seat, what are you doing? And by the way, we're all on your side if you run for a Senate seat. Then you unite everyone. I know you don't want to unite. Okay, but. By the way, they asked for that question, Axelrod did, about running for president, there was polite applause. You could check the tape for yourself. Then they asked about running for the New York Senate seat, and there was thunderous applause.

Okay, that's her own followers. Because the Senate seems. Yeah, it does. And it helps the movement. Stop hurting the movement, start helping the movement, then everybody's on your side. That's not to say that there's no possibility for a presidential run in the future. I just think it's premature. That's okay.

But anyway, that's a minor thing. It might not be that at all. The major thing to me, and this is what a lot of people are speculating, is that she's, these are signals to the establishment. Don't worry, I'm on your side. When you need it, I'll call opponents of Israel anti-Semites and white nationalists, okay? When they need the vote, I might be there, I might not be there, right? And so, and don't worry, I'm a partisan all the way.

So Richie Torres, a dog for Israel never gets criticized. I looked it up, never criticized. Josh Gottheimer, one of the most corrupt Democrats, totally corporate, totally conservative, 100% Israel first, never criticized. But you're criticizing people who were fighting against Israel and against this war. And you chose this moment to do that.

Look, I'll end on two things. One is, Sean Ryan had a great line about this, and it's similar to the Palestinian brother we showed you there. He said, our house is on fire. So I'm not interested on any other issue until we put the fire out. We don't even control our own country anymore. So when we don't control our country, why are we having debates about other issues? Our opinions are irrelevant on those issues.

We need to put this fire out first, get control of our country back, then go back into debating all these wonderful issues, right? And lastly, guys, think about what they're asking you to do when they ask you to reject Marjorie Taylor Green. They make it seem like reject her as a human, being as a potential candidate, et cetera. But that's not the conversation. The conversation is, are you rejecting our help on this critical issue?

She's out all over TV and media saying stop the war, stop funding Israel. That is what we all agree with. As Anna said, she's coming to our position. Massey, Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly have come to our position, and that's amazing. If you keep spitting in their face, that does not help incentivize other people to come to our position, whether they're going to vote in Congress or they're going to convince their millions of followers to join us. So on this issue, the actual thing we're talking about, not some theoretical hypothetical

other thing, why would we reject their help? That is utterly irrational. And you'd only do it as if you don't really care about this issue and you care more about partisan games. Well, when we come back from the break, we'll head on over to the Senate where a Senate Democrat, I would venture to say is far worse than anything AOC has ever said on this matter. We'll talk about Senator Cory Booker and his emphasis on the importance of keeping Israel's military edge intact. We'll be right back.

All right. So varying opinions, of course, on this issue, let's go to Super Chat. Magnus 9450 says, M-TG's first. I'm acknowledging that Gaza was a genocide was when Trump said he wouldn't endorse her governor run. We don't want or trust her and we shouldn't. We wouldn't ask you to find common ground with Lumer. But brother, a couple of things about that. One, that might be the case, but I actually don't care about intent. I disagree with AOC on that too. I care about which way did you vote and what are you telling people? If Tucker Carlson is, he's telling everybody that we've got to get rid of Israel's control in this country secretly loves Israel, I don't care at all.

I couldn't care less. Why would I care? Okay? And so I don't know if you find that controversial, but even with Laura Lumer, if Laura Lumer is in Congress and she's gonna vote with us on getting money out of politics, I'll take the vote. She's gonna say no? Why would I say no? I mean, Laura Lumer was vicious toward Trump as Elon Musk was trying to dismantle the CFPB.

Would I work with Laura Lumer in order to protect the CFPB from being dismantled? Yeah, and I hate that bitch. Yeah, that's called politics, baby. Because I care about things outside of myself and my own feelings. I care about accomplishing things that make other people's lives better. And so old school liberal Democrats, I love you guys, but please, you gotta snap out of this trance. Remember all the Democrats who loved back in the day, right? They worked with Strom Thurmond.

They worked with Jesse Helms, they worked with vicious races. So snap, snap to that, okay, depending on the issue. I don't want to snap, snap to that. On policies they cared about. So that's the hypocrisy. All right, we'll be back. All right, back on T.YT. Jankanaana with you guys.

I want to check back on that poll either later in this show. Can we do now? Okay, sure. Let's bring up the poll. So should we work with MTG or not? More voting on t.yt.com? No, about the same. Hasn't changed that.

Oh, yeah, because we haven't updated the graphic. Okay, that's all right. That'll show us for coming back to it. All right, anyways, let's keep going. All right, so we just, you know, did a lengthy segment on AOC, but honestly, AOC is an angel compared to this guy. I continue to support Israel having a qualitative military edge, the ability to defend themselves and offer deterrence. Democratic Senator Cory Booker is committed, as you just heard, to maintaining Israel's qualitative military edge, which I was approximately today years old when I found. out is a real law that requires the United States to arm Israel more than we arm our other

allies, including other Middle Eastern countries. We'll get to the details of that in just a moment. But, Jank, you're two cents. Yeah, so Cory Booker is a giant sellout who works for Israel. I just wanted to make that super clear. Number two is why? Why do we have to have them have a military edge over all of their neighbors who they're viciously attacking?

Imagine saying that you want to maintain a qualitative military edge for a country that's been carrying out a genocide, that's been stealing land from its neighbors, that's now leveling southern Lebanon. I mean, imagine, imagine that's your priority, maintaining the genocidal country's qualitative military edge. No, it's, this is a real analogy and they can catch feelings over it if they like. And yes, obviously the Hong Kong was on a different scale. But genocides are also important. And so it is like saying, no, we have to make sure the Germans have a qualitative military edge as they're taking the Sudetenland and going into Poland. And the Germans said the same exact thing. We're just doing it for self-defense.

We have to protect ourselves. And if our senators at the time were like, we have to protect Germans. Not Sudan land, not the Poles, not the Jews, not anyone, but the Germans, and we have to make sure they have a military advantage. We would have been like, are you nuts? And I say to Cory Booker now, are you nuts? So Booker was speaking to Kristen Welker, and she asked if Booker would support a temporary ceasefire deal that would not in any way address Iran's nuclear material. And Booker interestingly kept dodging the question. We can't show you all of his filibustering because it would take up the entire show, but here's the taste.

I wonder for the sake of bringing these hostilities to an end, would you support a short-term deal with Iran that leaves the broader issue of Iran's nuclear program to be solved in later negotiations? So remember, the Strait of her moves was not closed at the beginning of this conflict. This conflict has been a massive disaster. And Donald Trump himself is an embarrassment on the world stage. I hear it from allies all around the world. He has got us into a trap and we're effectively in a stalemate with Iran.

And the people that are paying the price was American military. If that way out included a short-term deal that punted dealing with the nuclear program, is that something you would back? Well, remember, I've been leading in the Senate with a handful of my other colleagues to end this conflict. That's what we're demanding. I am sorry that the United States. state Senate, Republicans who are leading that have done nothing truly to hold President

Trump accountable to provide sufficient oversight or any checks and balances. What exactly has Senator Booker done to try to end this war? Oh, he's been leading on it. He's been leading on it? Yeah, because he settled on TV. He's been leading a bunch of nonsense filibusters to nowhere. Yeah, I mean- Literally, literally, literally, he did a filibuster that had no point to it. No, that was one of the funniest things that's ever happened.

It was the most symbolic thing of the democratic establishment that I've ever seen. He did a 25 hour record breaking filibuster over literally nothing. There was no bill being discussed. I mean, he could have waited for a bill because there's plenty of outrageous bills, including the giant tax cuts for the rich, et cetera. But all of his donors are rich and all of his donors love all those bills. So he didn't want to filibuster any real bill. He wanted a filibuster fluff and nothing in air.

I mean, that is Democratic leadership 101. Okay, so on this, did you notice he never answered the question? Because he can't say since he serves A-PAC, and A-PAC is his best friend, according to him, the guy who runs A-PAC, he can't say, well, we could leave without the ending their nuclear enrichment program, because then he'll be a naughty boy, and he'll have to get spanked. And so that's why he avoided that question like the plague because he secretly agrees with trying to end their enrichment program. So the only thing he's allowed to do is attack Trump and the Republicans. The donors go, good boy, good boy.

Keep him divided. Okay. But don't say anything substantive badly about the war, okay? Just say the war is bad and it's all Trump's fault. But if anyone says it's Israel's fault, no way. Attack them and call them an anti-Semite and try to ruin them. Yeah, yeah, Corey, we see all these games, man. Like you're from the 1990s, brother, you're still playing these games.

Totally. Like we can't see what you're doing and we don't see all the money you're taking and all the ass you're kissing. Israel bought 5,000, obviously. Yeah. Anyway, now Welker pressed him on military aid to Israel. Let's see how he handled that. The U.S. of course, is partnering with Israel with this war. you joined a record number of Democrats, 40 senators who recently voted against sending more arms to Israel.

A similar effort a year ago only got 15 Democratic votes, for example. Are you now opposed to the U.S. sending arms to Israel going forward? Let's be clear. I'm opposed to a reckless war that has made the United States and Israel less safe, as well as our other Arab allies. I will not support arms to the United States or any of our allies, including Israel, in the context of a war that is endangering our national security and Israel's. I continue to support our U.S. military being the strongest in the world. I continue to support Israel having a qualitative military edge, the ability to defend themselves and offer deterrence. But in the context of this war, I will not support more military armaments to conduct what I think is a disaster that's endangely. during American lives, Israeli lives, and as we see in the UAE and Saudi Arabia are regional

allies as well. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wow, wow, that's the first time I heard the entire statement in context. So just to be clear, Senator Booker had absolutely no problem with the mass slaughter campaign carried out by the Israelis against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Just to be clear about that. So do you guys understand how much of a farce the identity politics is by these establishment Democrats who purport to care about the lives of black and brown people, as they like to put

it? Does that look like or sound like an individual who cares about the lives of black and brown people? Seriously, seriously. Yeah, so she asked him, should we stop sending arms to Israel? He said, let me be clear. And then wasn't clear at all. Wasn't clear at all.

Then he immediately diverted to I'm against this war. But she didn't ask you about the war. She asked you about weapons to Israel. And then he kept the, oh, we shouldn't send weapons to Israel or anyone else in the middle of this war. In other words, when it's not about this war, yes, I'm gonna send them weapons. But in case you weren't clear enough, then he came in and said, yeah, they have to have a quality military, military edge, qualitative.

Okay, so two things about that before we give you more facts on it. Number one, it's a genocidal government. And okay, forget the German analogy, how about when the Serbs are slaughtering the people in Kosovo or Bosnia, if we said, no, the Serbs must have a military advantage or the Turks were doing to the Armenians. The Ottomans must have a military advantage. Why? They're in the middle of a genocide.

Why would we want to guarantee their military advantage? But okay, put the genocide aside. Why does Israel have to have a military advantage and we have to provide it? Remember, their population is the size of Papua New Guinea. If Cory Booker was on Meet the Press going, Papa New Guinea must have a qualitative military edge. We've only sent them $320 billion, and we've only attacked seven of their neighbors.

That costs us $8 trillion. But we have to give more to Papa New Guinea. You would have said, has he escaped a mental asylum? And of course, the reason why they're doing this is because they're not mental. They're corrupt. He's been bribed by Israel his whole career. So the first time. So the first time anyone in our government uttered anything about maintaining or protecting

Israel's military edge was when Lyndon Johnson informally committed to upholding Israel's qualitative military edge. Africa Kennedy was killed. Yep, very true. Interesting things happened in that assassination and the aftermath of it. Anyway, but the argument in favor of this is, well, poor little Israel. I mean, it's in such a hostile region of the world. It must have the strongest military in that region in order to defend and protect itself.

Okay, so it wasn't until about 20 years ago that it became codified rather than just be an informal announcement by the president. And so in 2008, Congress formally codified Israel's qualitative military edge through the Naval Vessel Transfer Act, requiring that any American arms sales to other Middle Eastern countries not adversely affect Israel's military superiority. For decades, pro-Israel advocacy groups, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, APAC, have lobbied to preserve and expand such commitments to Israel's defense superiority. This lack of accountability continues to reshape the Middle East. By design, QME, qualitative military edge, blocks any Arab or Muslim majority country from reaching parity with Israel. True security, this is written by Jamie Haste over at anti-war.com,

true security cannot rest on permanent superiority. It requires accountability, reciprocity, and restraint. The very qualities QME discourages, and I agree wholeheartedly on that. I want to end on one last video from Cory Booker in that interview with Kirsten Welker. So let's hear him double down on his support for aid toward Israel. So just to be very clear, you would vote to approve arms sales for Israel in a future entanglement if you thought that was necessary. Again, we have a longstanding commitment to Israel having a qualitative military edge. I will continue to support that.

I will not support this kind of war. And we have a nation now. There's looking at our disastrous president, a disastrous leader of Israel, who in this war, are hurting our nation, their nation, and that region. I cannot support this war effort. A majority, a majority of Democratic voters would like to stop aiding Israel. 56% of Democrats say the US should decrease military aid to Israel, including 35% who say the practice should stop altogether.

Jank? 80% of Democrats have a negative view of Israel, but Corey Booker says, no, we have to take more of your money and give it to them. And not only that, we have to borrow money from China. China and you have to pay the interest rate the rest of your life and so do your kids and grandkids because we can't have the Israelis borrowing from China. Their money and their lives are so much more precious than yours. So shut up and give me your wallet, otherwise you're an anti-Semite.

Okay, and you know what Cory Booker said in the leaked audio that we found out about his relationship with the APAC president? He said, quote, we talk often and quote, text message back and forth like teenagers. That's so cute. I want to give you his A-PAC tracker, even though I want to tell you that this is greatly misleading. So he's gotten at least $846,000 from the Israeli lobby. But the reason why that's misleading is, as we found out through Larry Ellison's emails, the great majority of the money that they give is not through means you could track.

They give it through dark money. Rabbi Shmuli told me after a debate I had with him, you know, grain of, not a grain of salt, a boulder of salt, because I don't trust anything he said. But he told me that Israeli interests gave Corey Booker $26 million behind the seats. So if you're wondering why their lips are permanently attached to Israel's ass, anything approaching that kind of money will get you subservience and groveling like you see from Cory Booker. Embarrassing. All right, when we come back from the break, we're going to switch gears a little bit.

I want to fill you all in on what Skodish just did with the Voting Rights Act and what that means for. for gerrymandering. So come right back. I'll give you those details and more. YouTube members, so many wonderful comments. I can't get to all. All right. CC Bras says, you guys are the best when giving real news.

I've turned some family members who are Trumpers onto your platform. Keep up the great fight because we're with you 100, 100, 100. Thank you. We appreciate you. Jacqueline Enchando writes in, we shouldn't worship at anyone's altar. We need to focus on what's being done individually by Congresspersons and how it affects us. We can hold everyone at arms like so to. allows us to step back.

Yeah, it isn't about people and egos. And in fact, Randy Fine 8, my handle wrote in and said, I learned a helpful mantra in a program I was part of for many years. Principles before personalities. Yeah. Here, here, yes, totally agree. Principles matter. And by the way, oh yeah, but our MTG and Tucker Carlson, et cetera, principled?

Well, they proved it. If they weren't principled, they would have said, oh, Trump is right, war is great. We love Israel, we hate Iran. You should hate all Muslims, yay. But they didn't. Instead they were principled. That matters a lot, man. And people not giving him credit for that is just, it's mind bending.

Jacqueline also wrote in, you're so right, Jen and Anna, supporting this issue with a stronghold that Israel has on us can free us to power through what is actually important to our causes. Yep. We can't get anything done because Israel says, no, don't give it to the Americans, give it to me instead, okay? That's literal. D.B. says, keep up the good fight, T.Y.T. I'm a premium member and don't have much money, but I'm willing to pay more to keep TYT going. See, that's why our army can't be defeated.

I love your brother. Make sure you're taking care of yourself. But like, it's little guys all across the country that are fighting back together. All right, I'll read more during the bonus episode. We'll be back. All right, back on TYT, Janganana with you guys. Guys, in a couple of minutes here at the top of the hour, I'm gonna do a member Monday so you guys can call in if you're members.

And we're asking you, whatever you change your mind on politically? And why? That's in the first half hour, because we're trying to figure out how do we change enough minds to get our government back? Because we need the right and the left to work together. Are you gonna participate? Oh, sure, yeah. Ooh, I could do that easily. Juicy. Okay.

And in the second half hour, member calls continue, but that's just for the members and we'll do a little bit of fun there. What have you changed your mind on in your personal life? So either way, if you wanna call in t.com slash call, t.yt.com slash call right there. All right, Anna, what's next? What's next is our electoral system is just messed up, terrible, disastrous, and it looks like it's just going to keep going in that direction. So let's get to the details. The United States Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act, thus paving the way for more gerrymandering and political cheating, if you ask me. Honestly, in a political system that feels less and less representative of the American people.

So some believe that President Trump has scored a major political victory that could help Republicans minimize their losses in the midterm elections. However, others are arguing that this could backfire and galvanize Democratic voters. Now, before we get to the details, Jake, your two cents. Yeah, I think that it's a bit of a disaster. And I think the most important point is one that isn't partisan. I'll get back to that in a minute. So the voting is, let's first touch base with the Voting Rights Act. Make sure we're all on the same page and understanding what that is before we move on to get to that Supreme Court ruling.

So the Voting Rights Act sought to end Jim Crow era discrimination in our political system. So specifically, the law sought to end obstacles that black Americans, black voters were facing when it came to casting their own ballots. It also has something to do with gerrymandering, right? And in this particular Supreme Court case, the topic of drawing up districts based on racial demographics is what was being challenged. So late last month, the Voting Rights Act was effectively dismantled by the Supreme Court. They ruled that it is illegal or against the Constitution for lawmakers in the state of Louisiana

to essentially create a new majority black congressional district. Now unsurprisingly, this ruling was split along ideological lines. It did pass six to three, meaning the six conservative justices voted in favor of doing away with the Voting Rights Act. Now Jonathan Martin from Politico said of the decision, the Supreme Court may argue in gutting the Voting Rights Act that they're creating creating race neutral districts. But the practical reality of what this means is starting, or I'm sorry, starring political leaders and more to the point,

black voters in the face, staring, white Republicans fracturing African American districts to unseat mostly black Democrats so they can elect more white Republicans. So that was Jonathan Martin's take. Before I give you more details on this, do you agree with that take, Jen? Do you think that's what's going to happen here? Are they gonna dilute these majority black districts and drop districts that essentially will be more favorable to white Republicans? Definitely, that's not a question.

Yeah, and they know that, everybody knows that. So the question is, do you choose to emphasize the white part or the Republican part? Because the Supreme Court said, we're not gonna emphasize the white part, we're gonna say they're picking based on Republicans, so you're allowed to pick based on politics, hence it's okay. But why? Why are they allowed to, look, I think gerrymandering is wrong, period. I think all of it should stop, okay? But it's not going to. And so why is gerrymandering to help a political party cheat somehow constitutional,

but drawing up districts based on racial makeup isn't? So the Supreme Court isn't entirely wrong about that with a giant asterisk, right? So they say, look, how you pick your congressional districts is a political question. It's not a question for the Supreme Court. It's a question for the different states to determine. That's a very fair point for them to make, okay? Now the problem was the reason why they passed the Voting Rights Act is because the southern states back in the day were saying, okay, then if it's a political question, I'm gonna draw

it up so that there'll be no black representatives, there'll be nobody who is in favor of integration or will only make segregationist districts. And then Congress had to come in overall and go, no, the southern states are not allowed to do that because we can tell that you're picking based on race. And back then it was purely based on race, right? So they had to address that, they didn't have a choice. Now at the same time, I would say, as with all of affirmative action, there has to become a time when we stop doing that, right?

When we start picking based on race, whether it's to help white folks or to help black folks or to help anyone, right? So, but we can't do that as long as gerrymandering exists. Exactly, that's the point that I'm trying to make. I'm not saying that I find it to be okay to draw up districts simply based on race. But I also think in a environment where that's considered unconstitutional, then gerrymandering, which I sum up as political cheating, should be outlawed, period. Yeah, there's no question.

So that leads back to the asteris, the giant one, right? So the Supreme Court ruled in Bush v. Gore in 2000, that hey, every vote in every state has to be equal to one another. That's why we've got to stop the county in Florida. Because of the irregularities there, we're worried that they're going to have an outsized influence and their votes are gonna be different and more impactful than a vote in Wisconsin or Wyoming, right? Now I think they cheated massively in that case, they violated their own states rights principles, et cetera.

But that is a precedent now, okay? And so I would use that precedent to say, no, gerrymandering is unconstitutional, because Because it means that our votes are not equal. Exactly. In fact, our votes in a gerrymandered district are nearly pointless, worthless. Yes. Right? That comes with an asterisk too, which we'll come back to.

But that would be an excellent case to declare gerrymandering unconstitutional overall. No, no, finish your thought because I'm super engaged in what you're saying. Okay, so now the reason why that has an asterisk is, okay, so we want to get rid of gerrymandering because it's splitting up our, our, votes, shoot, you made me stop and then I forgot that is second aster. So you keep going and I'll come back to the second aster's. Okay, all right, so let's get back to this. Now there are of course some conservatives including this conservative lawyer Hans von Spakovsky, who by the way served in George W. Bush's administration.

They're praising the Supreme Court's decision here. So why don't we take a listen and see if he says anything that persuades us? What happens if a consequence of this? decision is fewer black members of Congress? Well, if they want to get someone elected, look, if they affiliate with the Republican Party, black candidates will get elected. We've seen that. So they have to become a Republican in some of these red states to have a chance of winning?

The point of our Constitution and the Voting Rights Act is that everyone is guaranteed an equal opportunity to vote. not guaranteed success in the candidates that they think should be elected. Okay, and look, I could be wrong about this, but I feel like there's a lot of assumption going into the commentary surrounding this story, like the assumption that, let's say you have a majority black district, they're only interested in voting for black candidates. I don't think that's necessarily true. I think they're interested in voting for people who represent their best interests. It's not that complicated.

But anyway, what do you think about what he said there, Jing? Yeah, so on the surface, equal opportunity to vote sounds great. I'm totally in favor of that. But what he's actually doing by backing gerrymandering is ending your equal opportunity to vote. And think about if you gerrymander, to some degree it has to be racial. Why do I say that?

Because the parties now have been so divided on racial lines, not completely, but especially with African Americans nearly completely, that if you say, hey, I'm eliminating Democratic districts, almost by definition, especially in the South, you're getting rid of black districts, right? So, and if you say, hey, by the way, I'm going to add black districts because it's proportional to their population in the state, well, there's a lot of fairness to that because it's proportional. But then you would be getting rid of some districts that were represented probably, very, very, very likely by white representatives. So the minute you have gerrymandering, the racial issue becomes impossible to avoid.

So how do you avoid it? You end gerrymandering and so then you have logical districts where there's black people, white people, Asian people. And then you can't complain, well, I need more black representatives in the state. No, you need to win those elections. Exactly, yeah. And if they happen to be black, great, love it, right? But they don't need to be black, as long as the elections and the districts are fair, right? So I don't, gerrymandering makes the districts unfair by definition.

And if you're not aware and you still think it's a partisan issue, remember in the blue states, we also gerrymander so the Republicans have almost no voice, right? California, we're about to wipe out almost every Republican there is in a gigantic state, right? And are there Republican voters in the state? Of course there are. Who are going to be disenfranchised by that. 35, 40% of the voters have tens of millions of people disenfranchised in California who are Republicans and obviously that goes true for Democrats and black voters in the

South and in many other areas as well and finally the asterisk that I was talking about Anna is look that was in regards to how it's going to affect elections so the Republicans think oh great we're wiping out all the Democratic districts but hold what you're doing is you're spreading your voters even thinner right because in order to have more Republican districts if you had a district that was 70% Republican you've got to distribute like 15% of that to another district so you could win a second district. But now you've made that district only 55% Republican.

God, I just- Do you see what I'm saying? I do, I do see what you're saying. And this is part of the reason why I'm black-pilled, right? I mean, people are up in arms about the story as they should be, because it's a further dismantling of our democratic process. I get that. At the same time, our democratic process has yielded fewer and fewer benefits for the American people each election cycle.

You get what I'm saying? So it's, I just hate all of this. And I do think the gerrymandering should be banned. If you're gonna pass down a ruling like this, all you're doing is putting a weird bandaid on a gushing wound that undermines our democratic process. Do away with the gerrymandering. That is what should be challenged in the Supreme Court. Yeah, so last two things for me is that Hans von Spansky guy has been spanking it over, like getting rid of your ability to vote since the Bush year. I covered him 20 years ago.

Really? Yeah, and he hates the idea of fair elections. So it's so ironic when mainstream media brings him on. Tell us about fair elections, Hans von Sponsky, who spanks to unfair elections. Okay, it's just like the greatest irony there is. And remember, why is he so animated by that? Because he's a right wing or he's a Republican? No, because he's part of the establishment. And they love taking your votes away, and they love taking your power away.

They don't want the grassroots deciding on the Republican side or the Democratic side. So guys, the best description of gerrymandering is instead of the voters picking their politicians, the politicians get to pick their voters. Once the politicians pick their voters, we're screwed. None of our votes have any meaning at all. It's all one big joke. We must end gerrymandering for everyone. All right, revolution is next.
