You're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. There are some problems here. Sorry, big time. I'm so upset. Oh my God. Begha! The Young Turks, Jake Hugar and Anna Kasparing with you guys. So wild and crazy times, obviously shooting at the White House Correspondents dinner.

We'll tell you all the latest about that. And then we've got shootings everywhere across the Middle East as usual. Iran and US are trying to work out of peace deal. Israel's trying to kill it as usual. There's a ceasefire in Lebanon, that's funny. Israel never abides by ceasefires, deadliest day in Lebanon since the conflict has begun, has begun because Israel always chooses violence and war and we're always forced to pay for. You'll get a healthy dose of that.

And later in the show, we're gonna talk about the Israeli Gistel. That works here inside America and how they try to terrorize any American who criticizes Israel. And their families. And they've attacked my family this weekend. And then Anna's family again, her husband, over the weekend, because- Better be careful, Rachel. Better be careful, Rachel.

Okay, so that's one of the people that are attacking us. Okay, so yeah, I mean, what Anna's referring to, we'll talk more about it a little bit later, The number one tactic is if anyone criticize Israel, make sure that they're fired. They're fired from any job they have, media politics doesn't matter. Plummer, accountant, dentist, I've seen it all. Come from my husband, Rachel. Come from my husband, bitch. Okay, don't actually do that.

Okay, what Anna is referring to is, well, okay, she found out who one of these Gestapo guys, people are. And so should they have a job if they're part of an foreign operation in this country to intimidate Americans? Now, of course, they'll be greatly, greatly, greatly outraged by that. No, we get to fire you. We get to bully and intimidate you. But don't you dare mention anything about our jobs? Maybe we will later in the show and then see how you like it.

Proceed with caution, Rachel. Let's move on. Let's get to our first story, actually. There was another assassination attempt on President Trump. So let's get to the details. We are here. We are at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. We are currently underneath the table.

There have been shops fired. And we can hear Secret Service ensuring that everyone is safe. You're around our salad courses, and we heard a series of shops. And we heard Secret Service command that everyone get down. And now everyone is underneath their tables. Is that you? An armed gunman was arrested Saturday night after allegedly attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump and other Trump administration officials during the White House

Correspondents dinner. Janker, two cents. Yeah, there's a shining moment for Cash Patel because he was the first one under the table since he started there. So, so in all seriousness, thank God nobody got killed or hurt. There was someone shot, we'll tell you about, but they're fine. And we're gonna have a controversial poll here on whether it was real or staged. True rams.

Okay, let's give you all the facts and then we'll come back and talk about it. Yeah, I mean, of course, there are tons of conspiracy theories out there about how it was staged. I'll give you the details you can make up your own minds about it. I don't have an opinion on that. Now, authorities have identified 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen of Torrance, California, as the suspect. According to NBC News, Alan was armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives when he rushed the security checkpoint at the Hilton Hotel where the event was taking place. The weapons that he had on him were all purchased legally. Now let's take a look at this footage as I explain what you're looking at.

This is the CCTV footage that was actually shared by Trump on truth social following the event. Now, gunfire was exchanged between Alan and the Secret Service before he was tackled to the ground and arrested. So initially there had been some reports that he had been killed in a shootout with the authorities, but that did not happen. Now, there is a manifesto, so we have some clarity on what his motive was here. But before we get to that, actually, let me give you those details, and I'll go to you, Jank. So according to NBC, Alan was a teacher who had no prior criminal history or record. The FBI was not keeping tabs on him because there was no reason to keep tabs on him. There was nothing suspicious about his background.

However, his attack during the White House Correspondents Dinner appears to be premeditated because there was a letter that he sent to his family and loved ones, like briefly before he decided to carry out this attack. So his attack during the White House Correspondents Dinner was premeditated according to acting attorney general Todd Blanche, who said on Meet the Press on Sunday that authorities believe the suspect traveled by train from Los Angeles to Chicago and then Chicago to Washington, D.C., where he checked into the hotel where the correspondence dinner was at in the last day or two.

Alan sent that letter to his loved ones and he actually apologized to his parents, colleagues, and students saying, I don't expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it again, my sincere apologies. He continued, I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me. And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to cope my hands with his crimes. Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first

real opportunity I've had to do something about it. So I'm just gonna pause right there because immediately, people like Brianna Wu, for instance, are like, oh, how much you want to bet that this guy probably screams free Palestine? No, it turns out that he was a fan of Brianna Wu's who is a supporter of the genocidal government of Israel. So that's weird. Very weird, right? That is actually very weird.

He actually had put out statements about how he felt that Hassan Piker is too far left. Really? Yes. Oh, I did not see that, okay. So you know, these types of events happen and immediately people try to figure out what the political ideology of the individual is. I wanna be clear about something, even though I'm not one of these terrible libs like Brianna Wu, I certainly do not side with her.

I don't think she's responsible for the violent acts that are carried out by someone else. I wish that she had the same feeling or the same take as it pertains to any other person who carries out an act of violence and might share a political ideology with another group of Americans who are nonviolent. But nonetheless, the finger pointing at groups that had nothing to do with this assassination attempt tend to happen. Yeah, so that's trippy, that might actually change how I vote in the poll. I didn't know that, that is very strange.

Okay, so first, there reports out that they actually didn't tackle him that he got tripped, like, or that he tripped himself. To me, that's irrelevant. Bottom line is. No, it's relevant. You know why it's relevant? Because we have a serious, we have a serious crisis of competency in this country. Okay, the fact that the Secret Service handled this the way that they did. I mean, the first thing that you do is you try to get the president out of the situation immediately. First person they grabbed was J.D. Vance. Nothing against J.D. Vance, but it's weird that they went for J.D. Vance before the president of the United States. Yeah, so that's the second weird thing. So look, first, I'm going to give a caveat that I think that the security was generally fine, okay, which I know not a lot of people are saying. So why do I say that? I mean, he didn't get into the ballroom. No one got hurt or killed. Whether they tackled a Murray trip, to me, doesn't matter much. Like, they got him. And could they have gotten them and found them earlier?

I don't think so. I mean, he showed no, nothing on social media that would lead you to believe that he was going to do something along these lines. He left no hints about it. He only mailed his manifesto 10 minutes before he actually did the crime. So like we can get on them for plenty of reasons and why are they letting people into the hotel without checking their bags and stuff? Okay, maybe those are legitimate. But overall, the president didn't get hurt, nobody got hurt. I'm like I'm a little less worried about security. I am worried about the weird things. Like, there's no question they take out JD Vance before they get to Donald Trump, maybe about 10 seconds at least. Jake.

And that's, that is just super unusual to remove the vice president first. And Trump said something weird about how he wanted to stay and watch. I know. Trump, who's a coward, wanted to stay and watch. He's also, he's also nearly 80 and he appears to be senile to some extent. That could be it. Honestly. Yeah.

So, okay, I'm gonna get to the poll in a second, but of course, I made a joke about Cash Patel earlier, and hence I should be fired. According to Donald Trump and Melania Trump, but we'll get to that part of it in a minute because you can't make jokes about anything. Remember, this administration hates free speech. They're too woke. Yeah, that's what they ran on. They ran on, we're going to go to war everywhere, and we're going to make sure no one's allowed to make jokes and take away everybody's freedom of speech. Okay, great. And then this trend of weirdly educated shooters is interesting because he went to Caltech.

The guy who shot United Health CEO also went through a really good college. And they write interesting manifestos. Their manifestos, by the way, can be completely correct and the shooting could be hideous at the same time. Just because you've accurately deduced the problem doesn't mean the answer is violence. And just because somebody did violence doesn't mean that they're like the things they were We're grieved about or wrong, right? So those two things are completely separate.

Now the obnoxious or controversial poll. Because I am genuinely curious, that's why we do these polls. And it's on t.yt.com. Do you think the assassination attempt at the White House correspondent is dinner was real or fake? The answers are A, real and it's offensive to question it. There's plenty of people who voted that way, that's interesting. Real, but people should ask a lot of questions about it, that's B. C is- That's where I was at until you just told me some of those details.

C, staged but open to reconsidering after questions are answered. D, absolutely staged. Okay, so, yeah. Let's also just be very clear that not a lot of people have voted yet because we just started the show and we started talking about the story. So let's wait and see what people say. And I haven't finished giving the details up. No, I hear you.

Like that's, look, that's just the beginning of it. Go to t.yt.com, especially after the story, because we care what you think after you hear the whole story. And to me, honestly, I hadn't heard two parts that Anna said. I've heard all the other parts. So now it's making it's starting to move me from B to C a tiny bed. I'd still vote B right now, but go ahead, Anna. Okay, so he also stated that he was not trying to target hotel security,

employees or guests writing in this letter. I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary on the basis that most people choose or chose to attend. to attend a speech by a pedophile rapist and traitor and are thus complicit. But I really hope it doesn't come to that. He also said, I experience rage, thinking about everything this administration has done. Now the Secret Service, along with members of the Montgomery County Police, spoke with Allen's sister as part of their investigation into this shooting.

And here's what she told them. Apparently, Allen's sister said that her brother had a tendency to make radical statements and his rhetoric constantly referenced a plan to do something to fix the issues with today's world. She also said he attended a no king's protest in California and was part of a group called the Wide Awakes, a network of activists dedicated to social justice issues that bears the same name as the 1860s abolitionist youth movement. So just real quick, getting back to the topic of security at the event, you know, many are questioning whether it was robust enough.

Some are arguing that the security at the White House Correspondents dinner was incredibly laxed. Now Alan himself even noted that security was very laxed at the Hilton Hotel in that letter that he sent to his family minutes prior to the attack. He says, I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person here considers the possibility that I could be a threat. This level of incompetence is insane and I very sincerely hope it's

corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again. And while security agents were able to stop him before he entered the ballroom, right, he was able to enter the hotel where the White House correspondence dinner was taking place, he wasn't able to enter the ballroom, right? So that's the big question here. Sean McRish, who is one of the New York Times reporters in the hall, wrote this. Several things happened in quick succession.

Tuxedoed agents pulled out guns and began running toward the ballroom, white-jacketed Caterers screamed and bolted for stairwells. Pandemonium reigned as top cabinet officials were evacuated. This is my favorite excerpt from what he had to say about his experience at the White House Correspondents Dinner. This is the New York Times reporter. Robert Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines, came out and were ushered into an elevator. Then Janine Piro emerged.

The FBI director, Cash Patel came tearing across the hallway with two men in tow. His girlfriend was in a nearby room with a man who appeared to be a member of security detail and who was holding her hand. Droms? What? Okay, maybe we'll get back to that and explore it a little more in depth later when you know, tensions die down a little bit. But anyway, and then reporters are about to be taken back into the ballroom.

The show will go on apparently. Now eventually the event was ultimately canceled and, you know, the president of the event, I don't know how to pronounce her name, I'm not even going to try, said that it would be rescheduled, who cares? But just to be clear, security was lax, Jenk. The Washington Post reported that the Trump administration actually provided a lower level of security for the dinner than it has done in many other meetings of top officials, despite the president attending along with several members of his cabinet. In such cases, the Secret Service are often given oversight of all security and the event designated a national special security event, which did not happen on Saturday, the paper reported, citing local and federal officials.

Jake, I mean, let's just keep it real. I mean, what I thought of immediately when it came to robust security were the conventions, the Democratic convention, the Republican convention. I kid you not. You like have to go through security like two miles ahead of the actual venue where the convention is taking place. There's like multiple security checkpoints. But they couldn't do something similar given how high profile this event is for this event?

Yeah, well, those are the things that are weird, right? So like they got them. So at the end of the day, like nothing bad happened. But it is weird to have lower security for this event than other events. It's weird that Trump seemed unbothered. Super unbothered by it. Like that, I mean, you would think that a guy like Trump who complains about lawfare and an election. About everything.

He lost, but is pretending to have. One is like the most thin skin guy, biggest victim ideology mindset you've ever seen. And he gets shot at in Butler. He gets, you know, there's an assassination attempt here. And he seems utterly unfazed by both of those things. That's weird, right? So guys, the fact that it's weird doesn't mean that it settles anything. When I first read the manifesto and found out who it was, it sounded like a very logical story. Some guy who's, you know, on the left and he's really mad at Trump and he's mad at our government for not, you know, arresting the pedophile rapists and protecting them, et cetera.

I think a lot of people feel that way. And now taking it to violence is deeply counterproductive and totally wrong and immoral. But that's that story to me didn't raise any like red flags at all. Like it seemed like, okay, that does make sense. And I was ready to just like move on. I saw instantly everybody's like stage, stage, stage. And left wings and right wingers saying staged, right? And I was like, whoa, whoa, guys, guys, hold on.

We don't know anything yet. It's like been a minute, right? But now we do know some things, but I just mentioned two. The third one that you mentioned earlier, the one that I didn't know, that's super weird. Now I've worked with Brianna Wu and Hassan in the past, right? Asa my nephew and Brianna and I used to work at Rebellion Pact together. Before she lost her mind. No, that's, okay, that's between me and her.

So, and okay, so we don't anymore, but the point is that support, so that hence I don't really, I'm not biased in this case. Like I got no beef with anyone involved, right? So as I look at it, why would a guy who thinks that Trump is doing everything wrong support Brianna Wu and her at this point, Brianna, being the past when we worked together, she's mainly known as a progressive. She still hates Trump. Right.

It's just that she hates Muslims more. So whatever it is, okay, but like the bottom line is that, so Israel, he's a fan of Israel? And because there's no one left who likes Brianna Wu, maybe other than me on a personal level, not on the political level, who think, who's a fan of Israel, is not a fan of Israel. Are you, are you like, where are you living? Like, where are you these days? Are you crazy? Libs, like, Normie Libs, and I'm not talking about you guys, I'm talking about you guys, I'm

talking about like members of the media, lib politicians, totally love Israel, right? They might have a huge problem with Trump. No, no, I got you, but like, so Brianna is at this point 200% in favor of Israel. Yes. So there's no one who's anti-Israel or like a left, diehard left winger who is like, oh, I love Israel as much as Brianna does. That person nearly does not exist. That person is kind of, that category is almost extinct.

I don't know, maybe there's a couple of Destiny Bros left. No, but that's what I'm talking. Yes, that that group that they exist, I don't think they're representative of Democratic voters, to be honest. I mean, the polling shows they're not representative of Democratic voters. But, you know, in terms of media figures or public figures who just have this weird devotion to Israel, but like loathe Donald Trump, yeah, people like that definitely do exist. And he hated Hassan, but we- He didn't say he hated Hassan.

He said that Hassan is too far left. Too far left. Yeah, don't strong man it. Just be very clear about what he actually said. No, no, no, no. Anna, I'm learning from you. Okay, so I'm just, I thought that's what you said, okay? Because I keep saying that's the one thing I hadn't read before.

If Hassan is too far left, what is shooting the president? Like, so it's just, Hassan is mainly known, like he said a lot of things, okay? But he's mainly known as being anti-Israel. So he, this guy doesn't like a guy who's anti-Israel and likes a person who is pro-Israel, very, very adamantly pro-Israel. Yes. strange for a person who's supposed to be so far left that he's willing to shoot the president. I know. You see what I'm saying? It makes no sense. So look, he, he was clear in that

he was motivated by, in his words, Trump being a pedophile, right? In his words, that's what he said in his manifesto. So anyway, look, there was some grilling on Fox News about this. So let's take a quick look at Lawrence Jones grilling Kash Patel on, you know, what happened that night and what the security was like. Take a look. The president of the United States is averaging an assassination attempt once a year. And there's still protocols. So who's going to do the investigating of the procedures? Secret Service can't investigate themselves because there's still people in leadership at the Secret Service that were responsible for Butler. How does that happen? It was a failure. Right, I can't speak to Butler and I agree it was a total failure, absolutely.

But I have full confidence in Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen. This country, I mean, the leadership in this country is an embarrassment. Like there's really no other, there's nothing else that I can say about this. And for me personally, my only real take on the story, the only thing that I feel in regard to this story at this point is terror at how desensitized I am. I'm so desensitized by violence after seeing mangled bodies in the Middle East every single, day over and over again. I just, violence is just part of our daily lives now. So oh, another assassination attempt on the president of the United States.

Oh, they didn't have enough security? Oh, golly gee. Why are we so, why is this country's leadership so incompetent? Yeah, so that's, those are all great fair points. I'm kind of obsessed with why do I care about the Trump assassination attempts more than Trump does? That's so weird. And he immediately exploited it to talk about the freaking.

can need for a ballroom. Like I just I just want to go to sleep. I want to go to sleep and I just want to wake up and live in a country that's led by competent people. That's what I want. Yeah, well you definitely speak for America on that one for sure. But guys, last thing on this. So they then jump onto this ballroom thing and everyone in MAGA tweets the same exact thing, right? And we've got some sort of graphic on it I think somewhere. Interestingly, like it's like Laura Lumer, blah, blah, and MAGAS. Just go to Graphic 11, so embarrassing. But also John Fetterman.

So apparently John Fetterman is getting the same talking points that the rest of Magna is getting. So that's pathetic to the extreme. So it's definitely a talking point. Then the question becomes, wait, did they have that ready before the shooting? Or after the shooting, don't let any crisis go to waste, use it as an opportunity. Oh my God, we need to Foxtrot in the ballroom because of the shooting at the Hilton. Wait, what? Right?

So my guess is that they jumped on it after the shooting, not like before the shooting. Yeah, yeah. So, no, no, because there's theories out there that they had a planned all along and this was to get the ballroom. But a fake assassination attempt to get a ballroom, that seems less likely. I want to go to one, yeah, I mean, I don't see any evidence of that. I do see the clownish behavior immediately afterwards like, oh, this is an opportunity to really lobby for a freaking ball. I don't care about the ballroom, just shut up about the ballroom, just build the damn

ballroom and shut up. Like that's what I want when it comes to the ballroom. I don't care about the ballroom. I'm sick of, these are men. These are men who are supposed to be leaders of this country whining about a ballroom. Yeah. Okay, there is a crisis of masculinity in the country and it's right at the top, okay? I want to actually go to the video where they're talking about the ballroom.

Let's go to that. And we looked at all of the conditions that took place tonight. And I will say, you know, it's not a particularly secure building. And I didn't want to say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. It's actually a larger room and it's much more secure. It's drone proof, it's bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom. That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it.

They've wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons. But today's a little bit different because today we need levels of security that probably nobody's ever seen before. The military is demanding it. That's exactly what the military. In fact, right now, right now that's what the military is thinking about. We must have the ballroom. That's the most important thing.

Just build the damn ballroom. Okay, federal judge who put a pause on it, just lift, lift it, lift it, let him build the damn ballroom and have them shut the F up already. Okay, how about that? I totally agree. I mean, they gotta build something, I don't really care. That's not an issue that affects the American people at all. Like, do you notice that Trump's constantly doing things that are about the elites?

Like, oh, I'm gonna get the Kennedy Senator to be more right wing. Literally no one in the country cares about the Kennedy Center outside of super rich people in Washington, okay? And if you're among those people and you really wanted to go to the left wing ballet instead of the right wing ballet, sorry, but literally no one else cares. Oh, the ballroom, how would they, where are they gonna docee dough and do, you know, and do ballroom dancing? No one cares, okay.

Charlie Kirk gets shot in the throat and killed before everyone, okay? Trump gets asked about it the next day, he immediately pivots to the ballroom. There's something wrong with this man. Yeah, he's not all, he's not, there's something not right with him. And that's what I was gonna go to last, because as I'm now I'm obsessed with the poll on t-y-t dot com, am I gonna vote B or am I gonna vote C? I was so solidly B that no, it's real, but I ask a lot of questions about it, right? But like now, if I get shot at for the second time and it's the third potential assassination attempt, there was a guy who couldn't

get the shot off at the golf club, right? I would be furious. I'd be like, what is going on here? How many times am I going to get shot at? Can we get this under control? I wouldn't be like, and we're going to have a nice ballroom. It's going to have golden bathrooms. And the toilets are going to be great. And we're going to do some square dancing.

The military. No, not the military. Okay, no one cares about the wallroom. Just build it and shut up. Let's move on. Take a break. When we come back, we're going to talk about other things. I picked those drapes in my first term.

I just saved curtains. You know, they're drapes, but I called them curtains. No one else thought of that before. Okay, anyway. Theater Goddick says the president and the vice president have different secret service details. Vanskitting handled first shows that he has a better team, and Trump has a history of going against his details recommendations, so they may have been in a less optimal spot.

That's a totally fair and reasonable conclusion. It could be, right? If I was the president and I had a couple of assassination attempts, I would start listening to my secret service. Except the guys who left me totally exposed at Butler, that's weird, he doesn't listen to a secret service and the guy who left him exposed is now the head of the secret service. Things that make you go, what in the F? Okay, doodle dragon Imron says, I love learning from Jenkin Anna.

The georgit-so you're doing to be a true friend to Anna is amazing. You all are my heroes. I gotta stay positive and it's been so impossible to focus with all the nonsense dropping on the daily. Thank you, TYT for bringing it on a mighty Monday. Thank you, appreciate it. Oh, today's member Mondays, by the way.

All right, Melody loves music says in the YouTube member section, how you all love and peace from Tejas. Krona Hop writes in on Super Chat, I use true social and rumble APIs to pull original surveillance video shared by Trump of alleged suspect running, it's 176 times 144, 9.95 FPS 435KIB. I don't know what any of that means. Why is quality worse than 2005 flip phone? Why someone already on the ground? So those are interesting questions. I don't know the questions or the answers. Okay, we'll be back. Pick those drapes in my first term. I just saved curtains.

The focus for the administration this week remains on those negotiations between the United States and Iran. You'll remember Saturday morning before the dinner, the president decided not to send special envoys Kushner and Whitkoff to Islamabad, Pakistan, over questions about how serious the Iranians were about making a good faith deal. I asked the secretary about the Strait of Hormuz and reports that indicate the Iranians are willing to open it. Following failed attempts to meet this past weekend in order to engage in negotiation talks in Islamabad, Iran has now proposed a new offer that could potentially end the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. But before I give you all those details, we gotta get Jenks two cents.

In it? So look guys, this war is very far from over. So if you keep hearing Donald Trump saying, we're almost there, we're gonna show you the actual facts here where we're not even close. And Iran is demanding something that we have said a million times we won't give. But I'm gonna tell you, after Anna gives you all the facts, what the real problem is. Trump? Well, Israel? Well, okay, so there is a real problem here, and it's not being talked about nearly enough in the rest of the media.

So Anna, go ahead, give them the facts. Yeah, so before I give you guys the details of what Iran has offered and what the response has been from the Secretary of State already, I just want to remind you all that we're all suffering the consequences of this war already. Gas prices have shot up significantly, food prices have already gone up. We are just beginning to see the impact of this incredibly stupid war that President Donald Trump decided to engage in based on the special, amazing intel by our special ally Israel. And Israel loves it. Israel doesn't want this to end, they want it to keep going.

And we are again suffering the economic consequences of this. And keep in mind, we as Americans actually have it pretty easy compared to some of the Asian countries that are heavily reliant on oil from Gulf states, including South Korea, including Japan, including some of our actual allies that we have screwed over at the behest of Israel, which is a cancer on this globe. Now with that in mind, what is Israel's what is Iran's proposal? Well, they want the United States to do something very simple, okay? Lift the blockade on Iranian vessels.

If they do that, Iran has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz. And then after that, the second level of talks and negotiations can deal with the nuclear program that Iranians might want to pursue. And if you are Iran or a leader in Iran, you certainly would want to pursue nuclear weapons at this point because you're dealing with a belligerent pariah state like Israel in your region. That's unfortunately aligned with the United States, which is a military superpower. So Iran's foreign minister, Abasarakshi, was in Russia today and explained to reporters why plans to hold talks in Pakistan over this past weekend fell apart. Take a look.

The Americans' approaches caused the previous round of talks, despite the progress that had been made, not to reach its objectives, the excessive demands they made, and the incorrect approaches they adopted. It was necessary for us to have consultations with our friends in Pakistan to examine the latest situation. There is a great deal of alignment and views between us, Iran, and Oman, and we also reached agreements for our consultations to continue at the expert level. All right, so an Iranian official who spoke to Jeremy Scahill over at Dropsite News on the condition of anonymity said we're currently moving forward with our own design and we feel continuing negotiations doesn't make sense until the U.S. government lifts the maritime blockade. The scope of

the conflict has expanded and naturally the issue is no longer purely nuclear. Hassan Amadian, who is a prominent Iranian analyst and an associate professor at Tehran University, also spoke to drop site news saying that the Iranians are saying time is working in our favor for these three M's, munitions, markets, and the midterms. These three M's help Iran in its position and weaken U.S. positions. And Ahmadian is absolutely right about that. As the Wall Street Journal reported last week, we have depleted 80% of our missile interceptors. Israel is also low on interceptors. And so Iran's like, you guys want to keep going at it. Let's keep going at it. We're the ones who can do some serious damage here militarily given the depletion of U.S. and Israel.

Israeli military assets, Amadian continues by saying, obviously in the US, they want something to say, quote, we squeezed Iran and we got this. My perception is that the Iranians are keen to deny the United States that they wouldn't give that, they wouldn't give what Trump wants as a victory. And here's the problem, Trump has trouble admitting defeat. He's not going to admit defeat. And he's not going to make any concessions to the Iranians, even though the Iranians, Whether he likes it or not, certainly do have cards to play here.

Now in regard to what Iran has proposed to the United States in regard to lifting the maritime blockade in order to get the Strait of Hormuz back open, here's what Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Trey Yinks on Fox News. If what they mean by opening the straits is, yes, the straits are opened as long as you coordinate with Iran, get our permission or will blow you up and you pay us. That's not opening the straits. Those are international waterways. They cannot normalize, nor can we tolerate.

them trying to normalize a system in which the Iranians decide who gets to use an international waterway and how much you have to pay them to use it. Well, I guess that's just a sad day for you because there's no military way of taking control of the Strait of Hormuz away from the Iranians. And so you have to do something that might be really difficult for the Trump administration, engage in actual diplomacy, and come out with a deal. So the American people, in fact, the rest of the globe isn't screwed by the government. the economic devastation that has come along with this stupid war at the behest of the Israelis.

So before I continue, Jank, what do you think? So Trump and Israel both went with a philosophy of might makes right. We don't have to follow international law. So we will violate international law in Venezuela in terms of the U.S. and in Iran. And Israel violates international law literally everywhere, right? and they say that they're above the law. So, okay, well, Iran is saying, well, now my might makes right. Now what are you going to do about it?

You say, oh, I don't have a right to block the Strait of Hormuz. Well, brother, you didn't have a right to invade me. So now two wrongs apparently equal right, okay? So now I'm blocking the Strait of Hormuz and their three Ms are totally correct. What are you going to do about it? Your markets are going to crash and your midterms are coming up and your munitions are running low. So now if you've depleted 80% of your defensive missiles, go ahead, bring your ships into the Gulf. Go ahead, I dare you, right?

And then we're at war with you, we have every right to blow up your ships. And so that you could cry about how, oh no, Iran is too strong and boo hoo, they shouldn't be allowed to do this. Well, apparently there isn't much we can do about it. So what are you gonna do now? So that's why it was so stupid to go into the war in the first place. We barely had any interest in Iran to begin with, but we decided to start a disastrous war that we couldn't end.

So now there got all the leverage and we're screwed. Now the most important thing guys, okay, so first let me tell you one more piece of leverage and then I'll tell you the key factor here. The thing that we're not talking about enough as a country at all is not just the military damage that's been done. We're gonna get to that later on the show. It turns out they've taken out dozens of our planes and our government's been lying the whole time, okay?

And it's not just the 400 billion new appropriation that they want, $400 billion more, more for Israel, trillions and trillions and trillions for Israel's wars. But what they're not calculating in is the economic damage that is going to be done to America and the world as a result of this war. So that could be in the trillions. So not only our gas prices high now, we were worried about $120, oil is already at $109. Okay, and the markets still think like idiots that this war is almost over. When they realize that the war is not almost over, that's gonna skyrocket.

And then there are the lagging economic indicators. So food prices, aluminum, helium, there's so many other things there, and those don't hit till later because it takes longer for the oil to affect those other products, which then affects their prices. So we're gonna- And the fertilizer, don't forget that a third of the world's fertilizer, come from that region of the world and is transported through the Strait of Hormuz. So farmers right now are furious.

They haven't been able to get either get their hands on fertilizer or if they did get their hands on fertilizer, it's incredibly expensive. Obviously, those costs are going to be passed down to ordinary people, right? Not just in America, but across the globe. There will be a shortage of food across the globe as well as a result of this. Maybe they could get Netanyahu and Trump to provide all the manure that they can handle. given all the manure that they're peddling out as fake propaganda to support this war. So now back to, okay, so we've got this economic calamity coming up.

That does not even include if the war continues and we bomb Iran's oil and gas facilities and they bomb the Gulf facilities, then we're talking about an economic catastrophe, the likes of which we haven't seen in our lifetimes. So that's gonna come out of whose pocket guys? your pocket. And they're not telling you that now. And the media is not asking about it and not talking about it at all because the media, along with the Democratic leadership, are all secretly in favor of this war, right? Because beloved Israel asks for it, so they all have to pretend that it's such a brilliant idea. They might criticize Trump around the edges on it, but they're

not telling you, holy cow, you're gonna get this albatross put around your neck of trillions of dollars of damage that you're gonna have to pay for. And the Israelis aren't gonna to pay for it, they're gonna make you pay for it. So the only two guys I've seen mentioning it are Jeffrey Sacks was on Tucker Carlson's show and he talked about it, and Rokana mentioned it on Meet the Press. So now finally, this is the most important part guys. So what is preventing the peace? Because we want the straight open, the Iran wants the war to be over.

They don't want to be bombed anymore and they want us to lift a blockade. So why don't we just do that deal? Well, the problem is that we have totally unreasonable demands. We'll get into why in a second. So the things that we're asking for is you open up the straight of hormones, but we don't lift the blockade. And then that makes no sense. That doesn't make any sense.

No, that's mental. That's saying I don't, I don't want a deal. And by the way, press report on how I don't want to deal because I'm giving them nothing, even though they have the leverage and the press like, shh, it's all the Ron's fault. No, no, no, no, no. So they say, and your entire nuclear enrichment program, give us all the material you've enriched, and you're not allowed to enrich anyone. But Iran said, we're not gonna do that from day one, right?

And then they say, okay, we want to control your foreign policy. And we demand that you stop defending Lebanon or the Palestinians. You have to give up funding Hamas and Hezbo. And they're like, hey, idiots, we have the leverage, okay? We're not opening this straight, and we don't care about your stupid huffing and puffing. Like, what do you think this is? You think you're just gonna, like, trick us into agreeing? This is, and so Anna, my sense is that there are two factors as to why we're doing these

unreasonable demands. One is Trump is a great a moron, right? And he doesn't understand anything that of course Iran is not going to agree to those terms. And he can't count in this losing, which he's already lost. But we're overfocusing on that. The second part is that Israel purposely makes these unreasonable demands and insists that we make these unreasonable demands, because they don't want to do that. the war to be over and that's why it isn't over.

They certainly do not want the war to be over. You're right about that. But I think that there is a mix of factors here. One being as real as you mentioned, but the other being Donald Trump just having a hard time accepting what the reality of the outcome of this war has been so far. It could be that he just thinks we have the strongest, most powerful military, it's impossible for us to lose. It could be that he's given incredibly bad intel by a group of yes men who surround him.

I don't know, but what I do know is if I were the president, as hard as it is to eat crow, I would think about how the continuation of this blockade on the Strait of Hormuz hurts, I mean, it hurts everybody across the globe. And I actually genuinely do care about that. But it hurts the American people too. So like as the leader of the United States of America, do you have any concern about how this is hurting the American people? How people were already struggling economically and the continuation of this war and the

continuation of this blockade makes it far worse? Do you not care about anyone at all in this country? Like I just don't understand it. No, of course he doesn't care about anybody else. I think the real question is whether Donald Trump has agency or not. Is it that Donald Trump is considering Israel among the different factors and it's a giant one because they're funding him and Vance. Vance just had dinner with Mary Madelson and Paul Singer and all the Israel first donors

and there's stuffing money in millions and millions into their Trump, Vance, Republican parties, arms. But that's a factor, okay? Money's a factor, oh, you know, maybe there's other things that are factors for Donald Trump in regards to Israel. Or, because if that's the case, then it's not close. He's at 32%. He's about to go into the 20s.

He's like if he continues this war, his entire administration and his legacy will be obliterated. People will absolutely despise them, including his own voters. The majority, let's go on a limb, the majority of his voters will despise him if he continues in this war, because that's how apocalyptic the economic consequences are going to be. Okay, so then you would not do that if Israel was just a factor, okay? The only reason that you would continue is if you don't have a choice, and Israel is, yes, I'll say it, and I think it's perfectly legitimate to say it, that Israel has blackmail on you.

And so you can't find, you can't let people find out the terrible, disgusting things you've done in your life. So you feel like you have no choice, so you keep saying, oh, Lebanon's not part of the deal, because Israel wants to continue to invade and occupy Lebanon. But the Iranians say there is no deal if you don't include Lebanon in the deal. So I don't know which one it is, but we're gonna find out, because if we stay in this war, then Israel doesn't have huge influence. They have 100% control over Trump.

Well, I mean, just to bolster that argument, there was a press release put out by the White House. This is an official White House press release. And the whole point of that press release was to justify to the UN Security Council, the illegal war, that the United States started against Iran. Now it is an illegal war. Iran didn't attack us and we decided to attack them and literally kill the Ayatollah, which is, that's pretty unprecedented. That's not something that's supposed to happen, right?

There's, anyway, but anyway, so the government comes out with this official press release in order to try to defend themselves and justify the war as a legal war. And it's amazing, because you know what they write in it? They literally write, and I'm quoting it verbatim, the United States is engaged in this conflict at the request of and in the collective self-defense of its Israeli ally. We don't have any security treaty or security pact with Israel at all. So number one, this is not a justification for starting an illegal war with Iran, arguing that we did it because, you know, Israel requested it, though.

I'm glad that they put that on paper in an official White House press release. So as much as Israel's vocal defenders in this country want to make it seem as though Trump made this decision on his own and that Israel had nothing to do with it, Israel had everything to do with it. In fact, I guarantee if Israel was not an ally of the United, ally of the United States, we wouldn't go to war with Iran, a country of 92 million people? Not even close. There's no reason to go to war with Iran. Nanjahou said as soon as the war started, this is the culmination of my 40-year plan. And his plan was for us to attack seven countries. And guess what we've done? We've attacked all seven countries that Israel wanted us to attack.

They had nothing to do with us, everything to do with Israel. And so now cable news guys will see that, us literally saying officially we did this for Israel, that's our justification. And then they'll turn around and say, how dare you, that has nothing to do with it? It's conspiratorial, it's anti-Semitic. So is the US government anti-Semitic? Because they just said, we did it for Israel. And they put it down on paper.

So guys, last thing is, how do we, like, how is this thing going to end if it's going to add? So because then in order to know that, you have to know why we actually started the war. And it has nothing to do with enrichment. In fact, Israel's been trying to get us out of the nuclear deal the entire time, because the nuclear deal that Obama did made sure that they couldn't enrich uranium. And so that robbed Israel of the excuse they wanted for their actual purposes, and they're Their actual purposes is twofold.

One's about Iran and one's about Lebanon, okay? Lebanon's easy, they wanna have the whole world distracted and use American troops, et cetera, to attack Iran. And while they are, they go into Lebanon and steal southern Lebanon, and then they get the American media to go. They were doing self-defense, they're the victims and all the lies and propaganda. And hey, look at that neat little magic trick, we gain more territory for greater Israel. And you can see with your own eyes they're doing that now.

And then the second reason is, in Iran, they wanted to do. regime change. Now that's impossible, but they had a backup plan. The backup plan is civil war. Same thing that they did in Syria. In Syria and in Libya and in Sudan. So this is a well worn path that the Israelis have created. Why do they create civil wars where tons of people die and it lasts decades and it destroys the country? Because they love it? Because, well, no, okay, maybe they're also- Terrorists are sadistic by nature, and that is the entire Israeli government, obviously. But really, the main objective reason is because then that country is too distracted to be able

to fund anything that helps the Palestinians or the Lebanese or anyone that Israel is stealing land from. So that's why they want Iran destroyed. So if they want Iran destroyed, which is still possible, and they want to steal southern Lebanon, Well, they need the war to keep going. And if we leave, guys, this is really important. According to some analysts, I don't, you know, I'm not a military expert, but Israel couldn't last a day without us in these wars.

So if that's the case, they're never going to let us out of their vice grip. Unless you actually have like real leaders in this country. No chance. I mean, yes, in 2028, but as things stand now almost like Schumer, J.D. Vance, Hakeem Jeffries and Donald Trump, the four main, you throw in Mike Johnson, that. the five main leaders in this country, in both the Republican and Democratic Party, their number one donor lifetime is the Israeli lobby. They completely and utterly work for the Israeli lobby, and they will do exactly as they are commanded

and ordered by the government of Israel. And anyone who says, no, no, no, hundreds of millions of dollars don't affect these greasy scum politicians is an obvious liar and not a reporter. All right, when we come back, we'll talk about the damage done to U.S. bases. and military assets in the region by Iran during their counter attack after we decided to begin this war. We'll be right back. Psychotic breaks. Let's go to super chat.

Pakistani, American Hawk Sentinel writes in, I'm reading these blind. I'm gonna be up front. Jenkins and Anna, Valentina Gomez and Deborah Lee look like total angels with perfect smiles and glowy skin. But inside, they're rotten goblin like spoiled mix, milk, spoiled milk mixed with lies in a fancy bottle, nice looks but deeply deep inside ugly hearts. No wonder their marriages blow up like a massive yoga. That clears the whole damn room. No offense to Anna and million others.

My marriage is doing real great, okay? We got it on this weekend like Donkey Kong. Okay, all right? You think my marriage is having trouble? No, no, I don't know what he's referring to. I have no idea, but that was hilarious. Sorry, I don't know if he's referring to Valentina Gomez and Deborah Lee, and I don't even know who Deborah is. It sounded a little crazy.

Anyways, okay. So, you, you think. You can go right back and clarify. Alex, sorry, said, hey guys, long time of your first time running in. I think there's more to the ballroom situation. Check out the Drey dossier's reporting on how she thinks they're building a secret data center underneath it. I'm almost convinced. Okay, we'll look into it.

Kobe Bryant 3830 says, Jenkin, Anna, my favorite smart lefts love both. Thank you, we appreciate it. We'll be right back. Psychotic breaks. Those drapes are my first term. I just saved curtains. All right back on TYT, Jank and Anna with you guys. Also, old dog new tricks upgraded as well through the join button.

You're awesome. We really appreciate that. We appreciate all you guys doing these wonderful things. And this is a moment that we do need it, guys. We're definitely besieged. Sylindrical ferret wrote in on Super Chat. Jank and Anna, I subscribed at the $100 level after hearing the issues all these Israeli first tools have done. Not simply for attention, but I want to publicly show support.

No, no, brother, I can't tell you how much we appreciate that, right? Because we definitely need it. They have Israel first, you're gonna see later in the show has done, it has attacked our families. But their financial attacks on the company have been significant as well. All right, Anna back. All right, let's talk about the damage Iran has done and how NBC News is kind of late to a story that everyone else paying attention was already privy to, but nonetheless. Turns out Iran has damaged quite a few of our bases. and our military assets, and that's according to a new report from NBC News.

Jank, this is not surprising. This is something that has been reported by a lot of independent sources, but NBC News apparently has realized that Iran also has military capability and can do some real damage. Yeah, there's two parts of the story that I find interesting. One is the extent of the damage that they did, including some things that were unprecedented in recent years, which maybe you're tracking it better than I'm. I am Anna, but I was surprised by the level of damage that they had done, which we'll share with you guys in a second.

And then secondarily, I was surprised by how much of Iran's military still exists. I halfway bought into the hype about how they were all destroyed. It turns out that's not remotely true. So let's give you the facts. So NBC cited several sources for their reporting here, including three anonymous US officials, two anonymous GOP, congressional aides, and one anonymous person familiar. with the damage, all you need to do is pay attention to former military generals who were rejected by the Trump administration for his new administration in the second term, and you'll know

the extent of the damage. You don't need to rely on anonymous sources. Nonetheless, the sources claim that the destruction caused by Iran spans across several countries in the Middle East and could cost up to $5 billion to repair. And that's actually a pretty conservative estimate, to be quite frank, more on that in just a bit. According to the sources, Iranian forces managed to strike runways, high-end radar systems. In fact, the radar systems is what they went for first, which was incredibly strategic. Clearly they had a plan in mind, they knew that the United States was going to attack them, and they knew what they were going to do in response.

Dozens of aircraft warehouses, command headquarters, aircraft hangers, and satellite communications infrastructure. So Iran even managed to bypass American air defenses. So early in the war, an Iranian F5 fighter jet bombed the US base camp burying in Kuwait, despite the base having air defenses. A rare breach that marked the first time an enemy fixed wing aircraft has struck an American military base in years. So since Iran does not have the capability to strike the United States, the United States, States, their plan, once the US struck them and started this war, was to strike U.S. bases in the

Gulf region. And that's exactly what they did. Now, these golf countries were under the impression that if they host U.S. military bases, that means that it's going to bolster their security. Oops. Well, that didn't happen. In fact, at the very start of the war, Trump said, he literally said this out loud, that he was surprised that Iran struck. U.S. military bases. Could it be because Iran showed a great deal of restraint following previous U.S. attacks on their country? Probably. But you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. And so now the real question is whether or not these Gulf countries would even be willing to host U.S. military bases should the U.S. government decide to rebuild those bases.

But let me continue with more of the damage. So the $5 billion price tag that I had referenced earlier does not include the cost of fixing some equipment like the radar and aircraft that was destroyed, which is going to cost a lot of money. So Iran hit U.S. bases in at least seven different countries, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The report claims that detailed information is being withheld from members of Congress, which should be unsurprising. One of the anonymous congressional aides even said that no one knows anything and it's not for lack of asking. We have been asking for weeks and not getting specifics, even as the Pentagon is asking for a record high budget. If you guys can remember, Donald Trump has requested a defense budget of $1.5 trillion, which is insane, which is absolutely insane.

But the administration has even requested that private satellite companies refrain from imaging the U.S. bases that have been destroyed. And that was confirmed by a satellite company called Planet Labs. Now, a Pentagon official also stated the following. We do not discuss battle damage assessments for operation security reasons. Our forces remain fully operational. And we continue to execute our mission with the same readiness and combat effectiveness. Well, if what we've seen with Iran so far has been the Pentagon's idea of readiness and combat effectiveness, I really don't know what to say.

We're in a lot of trouble. And by the way, the fact that we've depleted 80% of our missile interceptors, when we're making enemies all across the globe in order to make our little friend Israel happy, should be concerning for anyone who has any fear for our national security. NBC's report also acknowledged that Iran's counterattack could hurt the narrative for for the foreign policy hawks that can get effed as far as I'm concerned, the issue could emboldened critics of America's military presence overseas who have advocated for shrinking the US presence in the Middle East, one US official and one person familiar with that matter said.

Well, I mean, I certainly would be in the camp of, I mean, if I weren't an American and I were in a country hosting a military base that was getting attacked, yeah, I would be in the camp of maybe we shouldn't host military base, U.S. military bases on our land. But who knows? No, it's obvious. They thought that it was going to protect them. And what it did was it endangered them. And so now Saudi Arabia and UAE are looking around maybe thinking about doing Saudi Arabia, not UAE, in this particular case, thinking about doing a deal with bricks instead of us for security, because they're like all that Israel and America has brought us is pain and trouble and bombings. So we're now less safe because we were stupid enough to make a deal

with the Israelis and Americans, basically. So now let's break this down further. By the way, this was said by one of our members a couple of weeks ago, and it's really stuck with me. It was Israeli and Trump racism that actually cost us dearly. Because the Israelis came in and told Trump, oh, these dumb Iranians, they won't even be able to figure out how to close the strait of Hormuz. Remember, these are savage Muslim terrorists, they don't know anything.

Oh, bombing our bases, your bases in the Gulf? They won't be able to do that at all. Remember, they're some barbarian savage cavemen, right? Oops, oops. So I don't know if you know this, but the Persian culture has been around 200 times longer than America has. That's a lot, okay? So no, sorry, 20, 250 years of 5,000 years. But no, they know things, they're not, oh, me, go go goa, like the Israelis,

want you to believe. And so it turns out not only have they done massive damage, let me just add on to what Anna said. Yeah, the five billion numbers are joke because it doesn't include all the radar. We lost apparently dozens of planes. Dozens of planes. What happened to we have total control over their airspace? Now apparently we don't, because our planes keep getting shot down.

Okay, apparently three quarters of Iran's Air Force still exists. So the whole thing of like, they don't have an Air Force anymore, not true. No, no, they've totally been obliterated. Yeah, F5 jet of Iran, as Anna told you, gets past our security and bombs the U.S. base. First time that's happened in years and years and years, right? So apparently their pilots are pretty good and their Air Force still exists. The fastboats are obliterating us in the Strait of Hormuz. They still have plenty of fast boats.

And so they don't need to beat an aircraft carrier. They just need the fast boats to plant the mines and leave. So they apparently have an endless source of those. And then on top of all that, the missiles, oh, we destroy it almost all their ballistic missiles. No, they have thousands of missiles and drones left. So they have plenty of ammunition left. They don't have the giant ships and planes we have, but they don't need them. But Trump being like the lowest IQ leader that any country has ever had was like,

our button is bigger than theirs. Our ships are bigger than theirs. Yeah, but brother, Goliath was bigger than David, but the slingshot made a bit of a difference, right? So you've got to calculate, hey, I wonder what that slingshot can do. But apparently everyone in our government is a bunch of morons who are like, I'll be easy against the stupid Muslim savages. Oh, no! Well, what happened?

What happened? You idiots? Now the entire world economy is in danger, let alone all the people who have been killed by this totally needless war, right? So when you look at all this, where we stand now, guys, is not only did the war cost $2 billion a day in the beginning when we're firing off all the rockets, now it's down to a billion a day. They're asking for $400 billion extra to fight this war, even though they told us it would be easy and cheap. And then on top of that, there's the economic damage that's coming from all the gas prices and food prices and inflation that's coming. So we're supposed to pay all of this. And Israel says, not enough, go back into the war and put your stupid ground troops in so they could die instead of Israelis.

And we're not done stealing Lebanon. And we're not done trying to create a civil war in Iran so millions of people can die. America's back to work, back to the war, Israel says. And that's where we are today. We're now apparently beholden to our overlords in Israel who demand compliance and that we pay every price there is. So we've lost men, we've lost aircraft, we've lost a significant amount in our military. And finally, 80% of our defensive missiles have already been used up. And Israel says, we don't care.

Send your ships into the Gulf. And you know why? Because if Iran sinks one of our ships, we're going to be super angry and we're going to stay in the war longer. So Israel's like, please, I wonder, you know, Anna, now this is getting over the top. But a lot of people are worried about false flags. Like a USS Liberty type situation? Oh, how dare you mention facts. Yeah, I don't know what could happen, but I'll tell you what, if somebody hits one of our ships, we should ask a million questions.

about how that happened, okay? Yeah, we won't, but it's okay. Yes, but our press will of course say, oh, no, anyone asking questions of the government is an anti-Semite, and we should all bow our heads. Back to the minds, Americans, you haven't done enough war for Israel yet, right? So that's where we are now, and we're all totally and utterly screwed. This damage, if the war continues, this damage will later be seen as the tip of the iceberg. And the iceberg is going to be a disaster of epic proportions. All right, we'll come back to just slaughter in Lebanon.

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, well, 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. That's been left on skate. Ain't a whole lot left.

I don't know why they need any more mom. Let us be clear. The United States provided $18 billion in military aid to Israel. Netanyahu indiscriminate bombardment have killed more than 50,000 civilians, 60% of whom are women, children, paramedics and journalists. All of this is out. 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. History will 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. I don't think that's a kind of grass. Not that kind of grass, unfortunately. 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? Make it rain, make it rain, girl, 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 Adora 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.

Okay?

Anna. All right, let's check in with Lebanon. The Israeli military continues to destroy entire villages in southern Lebanon under a supposed ceasefire with Hezbollah. And over the weekend, the IDF issued evacuation orders to towns north of the Latani River, indicating that Israel is attempting to take over even more Lebanese territory than previously announced. Before we get to more of this depravity, barbarism, savagery, and cruelty, your two cents, Cenk. So we're gonna show you all the damage. So they've destroyed dozens of villages,

including Christian villages. They've murdered priests, they've murdered the Red Cross, they destroy entire villages at a time, while pretending to do so. defense. So we'll get all those facts. But I think one of the most important parts of this conversation we're gonna get to at the end is, okay, so but what is their real goal? Like, how much of Lebanon are they going to try to take and when will they stop? As much as we'll allow them to take at the end of the day. That's the reality of the story. There are a couple of different options. We'll go over it in a minute. Now remember after Trump had announced that the US and Iran agreed to a two week ceasefire

Immediately after that, the Israelis began carpet bombing Lebanon throughout Lebanon, not just southern Lebanon, and killed 300 people in one night. Now since then, there's supposed to be some sort of ceasefire between Lebanon and the Israelis. That includes Hezbollah, but of course, Israel never, ever abides by any ceasefire. They just continue carrying out strikes, destroying entire villages. The Lebanese government reported on Sunday that Israel killed 14 people in one day. That included two children, two women. There were also 37 others who were injured.

One of the strikes actually hit a cafe, a cafe at a crowded displacement hub. Remember, millions of Lebanese individuals have been displaced from southern Lebanon. They've been evacuated from their homes as the Israelis just destroyed their villages entirely. Every single building gets destroyed. And so what did the IDF say? What was their excuse for killing six people by striking a cafe near a crowded displacement hub that they were going after Hezbollah infrastructure? Yeah, sure.

Yeah, the cafe is Hezbollah infrastructure, right, okay. In addition to these killings, the IDF issued force of forced evacuation orders to at least seven villages that are located north of the Latani River. Because remember, Israel was saying that they're going to just take southern Lebanon up to the Latani River because they need a buffer zone. So why are they evacuating even more territory in Lebanon? It's because the United States is allowing it to happen under President Donald Trump, who was bought off like a high-end escort by Israeli interests, including Mary Madelson. According to drop site news, Israeli forces also carried out demolitions of houses,

houses, homes, residential buildings in Yaron and Bint Jebel. So I want to give you before and after photo of Yaron, which happens to be a Christian village in southern Lebanon. Nice. So when Israel Kat says that they're going to use the Gaza model in Lebanon, how about we believe them when they say that? How many times are they going to say things out loud? And everyone here in the United States just pretends like, oh, they don't mean it. No, no, they mean it. They tell us that they're savages. So why don't we just believe that they're savages?

They tell us that they're barbaric, inhumane. So why don't we just believe them? Instead, we'll have people in positions of power in this country turn around and point at reporters who actually want to tell people the truth about what's going on and say, oh, She's the problem or he's the problem for telling the truth. No, I'm just relaying the information and the statements made by officials in the Israeli government. This barbarism is what they intend to do and they do it over and over again. So why don't we believe them? And every single American is forced to pay for it.

Every single American has blood on their hands because we are led by a government that thinks it's totally okay to let a pariah state, a cancer on this globe, destroy not one, not two, not three, but seven, several countries in the region so they can engage in their border expansion projects. Are you not so proud Americans for helping this country build its empire on the backs of Americans while killing? I mean, how many innocent people have been killed? How many children need to be killed? How long are we gonna allow this to happen?

So as Anna pointed out, the defense minister said that they were gonna basically turn southern Lebanon into Gaza, and then we can see it with our own eyes. We just showed you of them destroying several villages. But there's a lot more. There's tape of them destroy. They've destroyed 70 villages, three of them are Christian villages. There's a story that we told you before, a priest Rye in a Christian town. Israel bombs a Christian house.

The priest goes in to try to help the wounded. Red Cross goes in to help the wounded. Israel waits, waits, waits. Once they're all in the house, boom, they drop a second bomb. That's their double tap. Savages. That's what terrorists do. That is an in.

intentional murder of a priest and in Red Cross workers. And Israel has done that all over Gaza. They've also started destroying the schools and the hospitals in southern Lebanon, because that's what terrorists do. They purposely intend to destroy civilian infrastructure. They're destroying solar panels. They're destroying everything in their path, because that is what terrorists do. I know that because mainstream media told me what a terrorist is, intentionally targeting

civilians and civilian infrastructure. Right. And that is what Israel does on a mass scale, and they do it more than any terrorist group in the world. They do 100 times more damage than Hamas to civilians, and their civilian kill ratio, meaning their intent is higher than Hamas. At 83%, literally higher than any terrorist group in the whole world. Those are empirical facts, right?

So, and we're gonna get to their motives in a second in what they're trying to do. But what's driving as crazy as you could probably tell guys, is that's, is that you're is, and I hope you're not watching mainstream media because it's nothing but a propaganda machine for Israel. But those guys then attack all of us. And they go, no, no, don't believe your lying eyes. It is our command that you ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears and believe instead only what Israel tells you.

And then you say, well, but Israel did tell me they were gonna destroy Southern Lemmon, shut up anti-Semite, right? So no, no, there's thugs in our. And not only is almost everyone in our mainstream media thugs, Let's call them what they actually are because they've thrown around this term a lot, and it definitely applies according to their own definition. Almost every cable news anchor in this country is a terrorist sympathizer. They sympathize with Israel's terrorism.

They sympathize with it in Gaza. They sympathize with it in Lebanon. They make excuses for it. They lie to their audience to cover up what's actually happening. Now, in this case, what does Israel want? Well, they were very clear. They want southern Lebanon south of the Latani River. Many of their government officials have said that.

Now, they say this absurd, absurd piece of fascist propaganda. We needed the Labens realm. We needed breathing space. A buffer zone. Now, I got 53% of Gaza as a buffer zone. I'm getting to get southern Lebanon as a buffer zone. I'm getting Western Syria as a southern. No, no, no, it's not a buffer zone, just like the Germans and the Serbs and the Turks and everyone else.

No, they're grabbing land and using self-defense as a very transparent excuse. So now to the question I asked in the beginning. So when are they going to stop, right? Never, they're never going to stop. It's never enough. It's never enough. I mean, these people are just, I'll give you another example. Let's take a look at the next video.

I'll keep my mic up as I explain what you're looking at. Drop site reports that Israeli forces destroyed solar panels that supply electricity and water to the Christian village of De Bell, who's a residence, by the way, refused evacuation orders. So they're like, great, that we're going to take your water and your electricity away by destroying these solar panels. So this is, by the way, the same village where that IDF soldier was pictured destroying a statue of Jesus. So today, Netanyahu came out to say, like, oh, we have, we have these wonderful Christians serving in the IDF. And he's doing a press conference. Every single person that he alleges is a Christian IDF soldier has their face blurred.

Do you think we're stupid? You think we're stupid? Okay, by the way, also drop site reports that Hezbollah is rejecting direct talks with Israel while excoriating the Lebanese government. Now, why would they do that? Because the Lebanese government isn't doing anything to protect the Lebanese people. Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qasem, rejected. Direct negotiations with Israel stating any reported agreements between the Lebanese government and Israel are as if they do not exist from Hezbollah's point of view.

He also reaffirmed that the group will not give up weapons and defense and criticize the Lebanese government accusing it of abandoning Lebanon's rights and giving up land, which is just demonstrably true. Lebanon's president, Joseph Awun, who is just a wound. He defended his pathetic, you know, defense. Or I should say, I mean, he's just, he defers to Israel. So he defended his deferrence to Israel in a statement on Monday saying, what we are doing is not treason, rather treason is committed by those who take their country to war to achieve foreign interest, he said, in a reference to Hezbollah's ties to Iran. How many times has Israel invaded southern Lebanon?

in an effort to annex land? How many times? Why does Hezbollah exist in the first place? How did Hezbollah come about in the 1980s? These people really think we're stupid. Nonetheless, Hezbollah has increased its attacks against the IDF in retaliation of, you know, these ceasefire violations. And I want to go to this next video to give you a sense of their thinking,

because the war is definitely going to heat up in Lebanon. So Hezbollah is saying it's going to respond, and it has been. responding. It increased the tempo of its operations in the past 48, 76 hours. And it is hurting Israeli troops in southern Lebanon in that occupation zone. They targeted a group of soldiers in the village of Taibi, the Israeli army acknowledging that one was killed and six others injured, four of them seriously. And when the Israeli army helicopter came to evacuate the dead and wounded, Hezbollah launched another armed drone. But it's not just targeting Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah has been targeting areas in northern Israel.

And really, this puts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nathayahu in a difficult position because he said that he's creating this occupation zone to keep the areas of northern Israel safe. So Hezbollah appears to be intact. It continues to launch, you know, drones and rockets across the border, and it continues to target Israeli troops. And this is one of the reasons why we saw that escalation yesterday across southern Lebanon, with Israel targeting areas beyond this.

so-called yellow line that they have drawn in the south of the country, killing 14 people in one day alone. The casualty toll due to Israeli attacks on Lebanon from March 2nd to April 26th. Let me just read that part again. March 2nd to April 26th has risen to 2,521 killed and 7,804 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry, the Lebanese health ministry, okay? You know, the Lebanese government that's super deferential to Israel. That's the ministry that I'm talking about. So I don't want to hear any BS about how like, oh, it's the Hezbollah numbers.

No, no, no, no, it's a Lebanese government that's on its knees pleasuring Israel as Israel steals land and slaughters its people. So embarrassing, I would be so furious if that was my government. And my government is embarrassing enough as it is. At least 38 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since the announcement of this so-called ceasefire on April 16th. There never was a ceasefire. was a ceasefire. Let's be very clear about that. All right, so I've got a lot to clarify. First of all, the US press tells you how Hezbo and Hamas are the most disgusting

terrorists of all time. Well, they never tell you is why they exist. If they ever talk about it, they say, oh, that's because they hate Jews for no reason at all. They were just like, they're just, I hate, hate it. No, it's because Israel's occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and let alone go on Heist, let alone now southern Lebanon, right? So those are people who are fighting back.

You can say they're fighting back in wrong ways and by targeting some civilians, not as much as Israel, but targeting some civilians that they're doing it the wrong way. But are they resisting an occupation? Of course they are. I mean, it's outrageous to say anything otherwise, which then leads to the question of, do the Lebanese have a right to defend themselves? Does Hezbollah have a right to defend themselves? Or do they have to sit and go, okay, Israel, go ahead, murder me.

And take my land and kill my kids and take my home because I wouldn't want to be an anti-Semite. You have the right to murder all of us and take all of our land. No. So because when our press talks about Israel, they're like, right to defend themselves. And how we have to give them money to genocide kids and we have to give them money for endless wars because they have a right to defend themselves. When you ask, well, do the Lebanese have a right to, or Hezbollah or do Hamas or the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves? They say, how dare you? You better not.

You better lie down and die for Israel. Well, no, wait, that doesn't make any sense. Either there's a universal right to defend yourself or there isn't. And then I get to the last part of that question. So wait, do Lebanese Christians have a right to defend themselves? No, when it comes to Israelis, no one has the right to defend themselves. When it comes to Israelis, I mean, God tier. They're the most important people on the planet.

They can slaughter all of us. They've taken over this country. Our resources go to them with no questions asked. When it comes to healthcare for the American people, when it comes to food assistance for the American people, there's a big debate. When it comes to Jake Tapper talking about the possibility of Medicare for all, how are you gonna pay for that? Have you heard Jake Tapper once ask a single question about how much it costs to be a special

ally to Israel? Whenever it's the American people, it's not just Jake Tapper, it's almost every table news anchor, including, I was just talking to Kari's community director for us now, we ran for Congress in Nebraska, almost one. She was just telling me about her first appearance on MSNBC. She thought it was gonna be friendly territory and said Katie Turr takes her head off. How you gonna pay for Medicare for all? You're gonna give this to Americans?

How dare you? Katie Turr, Jake Tapper, literally everyone on cable, including MSNBC. No one's asked, how are you gonna pay for that when it comes to this war? Because beloved Israel, beloved Israel, everybody bowed their heads. Okay, so let's finish up now. Because at this point, they're saying, now they've been saying since almost every cable news anchor is deeply racist, they've been telling you your whole life, oh, it's okay to murder Muslims, they have no right to defend themselves.

Israel can take all their land and humiliate that, I'm about press them. They have every right to do that, they own the land from 3,000 years ago. Okay, but wait, the Palestinians have definitely been there for thousands of years. Can they defend themselves? They're like, no, they're dirty Muslims and they're savages and terrorists and they deserve to be murdered. That we're all used to. But now, they won't even talk about the Christians, because they know if they talk about

the Christians, it might affect Israel's ability to rob this country blind since 70% of this country is Christian. So they have instituted a total blockade on news about Lebanon, okay? Did anyone on cable news talk about how Israel has illegally invaded Lebanon and is slaughtering whole Christian villages at a time, or at least destroying them and killing people that were And the priest that we mentioned earlier? No, no, no, because they're gonna get to the super awkward part of do Christians have a right to defend themselves?

And our press and our government thinks, no, they do not. They're terrorists if they defend themselves. Now look at the irony of how history has come full circle. There are now Armenian militias fighting against the Israelis in southern Lebanon. And instead of defending the Armenians and the Muslims from this genocide that Israel is doing in southern Lebanon, our government and our media is saying the Armenians had it coming. When the Turks did it, how outrageous the Muslim savages. When Israel does it, no, it's okay, slaughter the Armenians.

Who cares? I mean, look, Israelis can literally slaughter anyone, and our government will say, yes, yes, sir, keep going, we'll give you more money to do it. Anyway, okay, yeah, I have one last thing. Okay, go ahead. Yeah, so guys, so then come back to the question of when in the world are they ever going to be satisfied at least with this project in Lebanon, right? There are strategic retreats from time to time, they decided that they were gonna take 53%

of Gaza instead of all of Gaza, at least for now, right? So can we get to that place? So we know the original objective was everything south of the Latani River, but now there's two conflicting things. One is the new yellow line, which would be less than south of the Latani River, but it stretches all the way into Lebanese waters and conveniently includes a gas field. So are they going to just settle for stealing some border areas of Lebanon, by the way, which would be larger than what Russia is taken from Ukraine?

Or are they gonna stick to the original mission to the Latani River? Or are they now, are they so mental that they're gonna try to get land north of the Latani River? You know what the answer is. So, but guys, like this is unsustainable. America can't keep staying there and Israel can't do any of this without our backing. So they're gonna drag us deeper into these wars and drown us in the in the blood, honestly, that they're creating in the Middle East. They'll love it, I mean, isn't that what they specialize in, slaughtering people?

And so an entire time, our government and every liar in national media, is like, no, they are your special ally. You owe them. You have to send them more money and more troops to die. And if you're a Christian, you have no right to defend yourself. The Muslims are obviously, have no rights at all. And Israel is the only one that has rights, and they have rights to all of your land and all of your money.

And if you dare object, we will try to ruin your life. So that's what the news in this country has been denigrated to. That's what they're the pathetic state that they are in. They do 0% news, 100% propaganda for a different government. So who does all the cable news anchors, all the New York Times reporters, all the Washington Post reporters and editors and publishers? Who do they serve because they most certainly do not serve America? Why are they lying to Americans and Muslims and Christians?

And by the way, 63% of Jewish Americans who are opposed to the Netanyahu government. But they tell them no, no, you're all anti-Semites, including a majority of Jews in America. Who owns the media? It's not about Jewish people, it's not about religion, it's about these guys who are loyal to a different government. And yes, they are definitely loyal to Israel and they are betraying America. That is indisputable. I want to see one of them talk about the genocide in Gaza.

I want to see one of them talk about the brutal invasion of Lebanon. No, all of them, 100% liars pretending Israel's the victim. There is no end to how monstrous that lie is. Terrorist sympathizers, all of them. Well, we'll talk about some of the terrorist sympathizers within our own borders when we come back. Psychotic breaks. All right, let's go to our members on t.t.com. Boomer dragon cat says gas at $4.39 a gallon today in Michigan, highest so far.

Wait till you get a load of LA, we're at seven going to $8. By the way, can I just make a quick comment about that? Gavin Newsome and the rest of the California state legislature, FU, for not giving Californians a little bit of a relief by at least lifting those stupid taxes temporarily as we go through this hell. But they can't be bothered to do that. They can't be bothered to do that. These wonderful Democrats who really look out for working class Americans, right, can't

be bothered to lift these BS gas taxes. Okay, just real quick, look. I hate them so much. So at a best case scenario of gasoline in LA is $4. It's gone to nearly $8. Now $4 for, let's say you got a 20 gallon tank, right? That's $80 every time you go to fill up extra because Israel wanted to murder more people in the Middle East.

Give me your money, Americans. Shut up and give me your money, otherwise you're all anti-Semites. I can't stand this oppression. It's this oppression by the Israel supporters in this country is so oppressive, this whole thing's gonna And then they're gonna go, we're the victims. We were just stealing all your money and stalled, slaughtering people and taking their land. We're the victims. You're not the victims.

You're not a billion miles near victims. You create victims every day. I'm so sick of the Israeli supporters. Stephen Real Life says, ground news is great. I endorse, thank you, that's one of our sponsors, that's nice. Urban Hermit says a season loss of harvest can't be undone. All this damage to America cannot be undone. All.

Back on TYT, Jankana with you guys. Also look at all these beautiful people who join through tyt.com slash join. Motsby, Jack Randy 13, Green 8039, and Barn Daddy. Barndady sounds fun. All right, guys, much love. We appreciate you. Thank you for doing it through tyt.com slash join.

Anna. All right, let's get to the terrorists within our own borders. So, anti BDS laws. Are you kidding me? I thought this was the country of free speech. I thought this is the country of free association. What? What do those laws do?

They make it so that if you work in the government, you cannot protest Israel. You can't boycott them? If you work in the government? That's correct, if you're like a government contractor. You mean if you're a private company that does government contracting, you can't boycott Israel? That's correct, you can't boycott Israel. You better be careful, baby girl, because pretty soon every single one of your family members

is going to get doxed by the Israel first terrorists within our own borders. But if you're wondering who that was, that was comedian Leonardo. Joni on Tim Poole's show where Tim Poole was pretending to not know what's going on in this country at all when it comes to an issue that he purported to care so much about censorship. But you know, there's a lot of censorship happening right now as it pertains to criticism over Israel. And Jank and I have gotten a little taste of what it's like if you dare to criticize Israel. We're gonna get to that in just a minute, but first your two cents, Jank.

Yeah, so Laura Lumer docs my wife over the weekend and then she did it again to Anna's husband, that's a second go around. So there are Israeli terrorists that are inside America and their job is to terrorize innocent Americans who criticize Israel. Pro-Israel terrorists. Sorry, yes. Because they're not all Israeli. No, no, no, they're not Israeli. They're largely Americans who value Israel 10 billion times more than America.

And in fact, they have great disdain for any Americans who object and try to literally ruin their lives and their families, and we're gonna prove it to you right here. So it started with Laura Lumer over the weekend where she got very touchy when Jank wondered, who's paying Laura Lumer? Like she spends all day on X. Like you can't bankroll your lifestyle by making money off X. Okay, like who's paying you to live? Okay, so by the way, that's not just conjecture.

Wall Street Journal, I happened to read a story from a little while ago where Wall Street Journal confirmed that she has donors that finance what she does. And what she does is spread hatred and bigotry. She's an avowed racist and bigot towards Arabs and Muslims. And so who's funding that bigotry? I'll take a guess that those are the same people complaining about bigotry when it's anti-Semitism. The same people go, hey, semitism is the worst thing in the world.

And they're like, okay, now I'm gonna pay you a lot of money, Laura. Make sure everybody hates Muslims. We love bigotry when it comes to Muslims and now soon Christians. So who's financing her? And that was a very touchy thing for her. Very touchy. The people financing her are extremely wealthy and they go around in polite society and they pretend that they're wonderful people who care about bigotry.

If their friends and their polite social circles found out that they're financing bigotry and hatred in this country. Laura Lumer. And financing people like Laura Lumer, it might get uncomfortable in the cocktail parties. So that's why she goes into hyperdrive to attack me and Anna. So she posted, and I only have a portion of her post, but she's like, let me tell you a secret about Jank Yugar and the way he lies about Jews while financially benefiting from them. Number one, Jank, neither Jank nor I attack Jews.

Okay, Jewish people are, or people who believe in Judaism, practice Judaism. I've got no issue with Judaism. I have a problem with a political ideology as Jank does that makes people think that it's okay to slaughter innocence to expand borders. And that's what's happening right now with Israel. That is not a commentary on the entire Jewish population. Now if you happen to be a Jewish person who believes it's okay to slaughter people and steal land, yeah, I got a problem with you, not because you're Jewish, I have a problem with you because of your ideology.

And because you're a deeply immoral person. Exactly, okay. As I would have the same problem with someone, let's say someone who's Christian and thinks the same thing, right? A Christian nation that wants to do the same thing, it's wrong, it is immoral, it is against all of my values, supposed to be against the values that we're all taught from a young age. But anyway, her post included menacing statements like, do all her Jewish clients in Beverly Hills know what a raging Jew hater and liar her Muslim pro Hamas husband is?

When does Jake ever say he's pro Hamas? It doesn't matter. Totally made up. She just lies about everything. So she's targeting my wife. So what happened next is people started talking about where she's doing, where she has her office. So now we've got to worry about safety.

And then she put up her picture and she put up her name and the name of her business. Yeah. Okay. And then- Inciting violence, let's be clear. Yeah. And then they started saying, okay, we're gonna find her clients and we're gonna tell them that she's a Jew hater, not remotely true. Wendy doesn't care, like doesn't touch these topics at all, at all, okay? Let alone the fact that obviously we don't hate Jewish people. And then, and it just- Why do Zionists believe in collective punishment? I wanna know. Why do they think it's okay to go after family members?

I mean, in the case of Israel, those just slaughter entire families, right? No matter what. But in this case, what do our spouses have to do with our political opinions, which by the way, are totally fine? Our political opinions are based in morality. And besides which, we're Americans, we're allowed to have any opinion we like, okay? I know Israelis hate that, they hate our rights, they hate our freedom of speech, and people who are pro-Israel in this country who hire these Gestapo, these terrorists that try to terrorize any American.

I've got more on that in a second, but on top of that, not only do they go after your family, but they try to ruin their businesses, et cetera, so they started going on Yelp and doing low reviews for Wendy's business, so that, and then writing terrible things, et cetera, so that an average person looking won't know that there's these weirdo, you know. terrorists inside the country that try to destroy any American who doesn't bow their heads. So, and then they started talking about all the different ways that they could destroy her family, are my family and her business. And if you'll read the justifications, it is really telling. They're like, it doesn't matter, they're against Israel, so their whole lives should be

ruined. We should ruin their family, we should try to drive a wedge between them, destroy everything he has, destroy everything she has. You know who talks like that? Terrorists talk like that. Yeah. And that is their job, is to terrorize all of us so that we kneel to Israel. So look, I'm, I'm not whining about this as like, oh, I'm a victim, I'm a victim. No, no, no, I just want the whole world to know who these people are and how they operate, okay? Because it is important for people to know who the bad guys are. And these people are bad guys.

I'll give you another example. So after Lumer posted that, the account, stop anti-Semmy, I'm reposted it saying, did we just read this correctly? Anti-Semite, Jank Ugar's wife. By the way, we should sue them. We should sue Liora Rez for calling you an anti-Semite, because there's no evidence of that whatsoever. You have never even once attacked Jewish people.

You have always been critical of the Israeli government. We should sue her. And we should also sue them for inciting violence against our spouses, but she posted that, right? And by the way, really Beverly Hills has a Jewish population of 70%. Bitch, are you high? What are you talking about? What is she even talking about? And okay, so would you prefer for Jenks' wife to put a notice up saying, I will not, because of my husband's political views on Israel, I will not take any Jewish clients?

Is that what you're asking for? Like, what is this? Yeah, that's a great point. Do they want her to actively discriminate against Jewish clients? It's so bizarre. And think about it guys, none of this logic makes any sense. I mean, even calling it logic is absurd. So they said earlier, you know, Laura Lumer did, oh, like, oh, Jank took money from benefits from Jews and took money from Jewish investors.

Well, that's true. Now why do you think that happened? Because I'm an anti-Semi or they thought I was an anti-Semi? Do you think that that makes any sense at all? No, of course not. And, you know, look, this is not to say, all my friends are Jewish, et cetera, and people hate it when you say, oh, well, if you have Jewish friends or family, shut up, you're not allowed to say it.

No, no, you should say it. You should say it. You should say it. You should say it. So I didn't, I don't have Jewish friends for the last 50 years because it was a 50-year plot. At the end, I jump out of a birthday cake and go, ha ha, I was kidding, I'm just an anti-Semite. No, we grew up together.

But that's not even what I'm driving at with this. On top of all that, this is their weirdo logic. Did Robert Greenwald from Brave New Films save this company back in 2005? He did, and I love the brother for that. And you know what Robert Greenwald's doing now? He's fighting as hard as he possibly can against Israel's war crimes and genocide and aggression. Yes. Because these guys who are Israel first assume that every Jewish person is as vicious as they are

and is willing to do terrorism on behalf of Israel and to extroism. excuse Israel's terrorism. That's not remotely true 63% of Jews in this country are support Israel, but are against the current government of Israel. That's a very inconvenient fact for them, because then they'd have to call the majority of Jews anti-Semites. So that's why they never mentioned that fact. And some of the best fighters like Robert Greenwald, Glenn Greenwald, and a million others,

Dave Smith, I can go with Jeffrey Sachs, Gideon Levy, etc. Are Jewish, and they fight for peace. And we mention that on almost every show, okay? And that is why they hate people who are Jewish, who are decent and moral people, because it makes it harder to call everyone an anti-Semite. Last part of that for now is, yesterday I was at an event giving a speech, a bunch of Arab Christians and Muslims came up to me and said, oh, they do this to us all the time. I got fired from this place, I got fired from that place, because all I did was support

Palestinians or Lebanese people on social media, and all of a sudden these thugs showed up out of nowhere and intimidated my boss so much until they fired me, right? So that's happening to innocent Americans all across the country, including Christians. But then one of the women at Jewish Voices for Peace came up to me, and she said, you know, they targeted me too. And she's Jewish, because she's for peace. She said that they called her a self-hater and tried to destroy her life. This isn't about religion, this is about these radical zealots that have lost their minds

that are supporting this fascist state that keeps attacking all of their neighbors, taking their land that just slaughtered 23,000 children in Gaza. So, and now it's not enough, all Americans must bow their heads. So then they go after Anna's husband. So then Rachel, oh, I know who you are, Rachel, be careful. The Persian-Ju-S, as she goes by on X, interesting. Your account was launched in 2021, but you didn't start posting anything until October of 2023.

But anyway, so she goes after my husband and I just want to show everyone how hot my husband is. Take a look, take a look. That ass though. Okay, so look, went after him. He is a baseball coach, okay? He's not a political figure, he's a baseball coach. So you're gonna go after him and try to get him fired for him.

from his job, it backfired stupendously. And look, I personally am not afraid of anyone, but the idea of someone in my family getting targeted by these lunatics infuriates me. And guess what? Twitter has no problem with one particular group of people engaging in this type of doxing, right? Doxing is against TOS, but apparently if Zionists do it, if Israel defenders do it, totally okay, which I find fascinating here.

Very fascinating. People have nothing to do with politics. He's never uttered a word about Israel. Yeah, neither is Wendy, but it doesn't matter. They have to destroy your family members, but they're about to tell you that. We're gonna show you videos of that, but they weren't done with, now, Hassan is a family member, but that doesn't count, he's a public figure. My nephew is Hassan Piker and Laura Lumer said, how come Hassan Piker isn't in jail?

So, because if you, taking away your freedom of speech is not enough, taking away your livelihood is not enough. is not enough. Okay, this Gestapo is like, take the people criticizing Israel and stuff them into jail. You're taking our rights? You're taking Americans' rights away from us? Who the F are you? When did you become the boss of us? And I know why they're allowed to do this, because when Hassan makes a bad comment,

Jake Tapper and everybody on cable news has talked 24-7, politicians should distance themselves, he should be canceled, and any politician who talks to them should be canceled, canceled, canceled. And then Laura Lumer's like, oh, let's destroy people's families. Let's put people in jail because of opposing Israel. And cable news is like, yeah, that's totally fine. No cancellation of Laura Luma or Mark Levin, who's constantly talking about deporting people and taking away our rights. No one on cable news cares about any of that.

No one in mainstream media cares about any of that. Because we're not important pro-Israel people. We're just lowly Americans. And Americans, who cares about it? cares about you, Israel is allowed to bully you, terrorize you. They're allowed to do anything they want to you because they're almighty Israel and they are superior to you. And you should just know your role and submit to them. Otherwise, you're gonna be fired, your family's gonna be targeted.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. You might say, hey, Jane, do they really say that? Let's go to video two so you can see it with your own eyes. We will shine a light on you that thanks to Google and SEO will follow you for the rest of your life. When you look for a job, when you look for a spouse, when you look for a nanny, when you look for anything. Our work will always be documented. Again, thanks to Google and SEO. Today, Stop Antisemitism, I'm proud to say, runs one of the most robust anti-Semitic enforcement operations in the United States.

Monitoring campuses, digital networks, activists groups, and public officials, documenting incidents in real time and mobilizing millions of people of allies that are quietly by our side. So she's speaking at the Israeli embassy and saying she just heard her. Any American who objects to Israel, they will call an anti-Semite and then they will go after their family, their livelihood, and they will, and by the way, stop antisemitism.com, recent reports, Canary Mission, recent reports. But, oh, it turns out that maybe some of their founders are from Israel. But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, mainstream media don't ever investigate them, pretend they're the good guys.

You know they get quoted all the time for on cable news. And so when she talks about the quiet people supporting us and our mission, she's referring to mainstream media. Because mainstream media then picks up those reports, doesn't analyze them at all, and then helps them attack American families that dare to disagree with Israel. I don't think it's mainstream media. It's, you know, they're a little group of people who, so for instance, in the case of someone's workplace, right, they're attacking someone's family member and they want to get that family member fired from their workplace. They'll just start, like, sending a ton of messages and tagging that workplace's social media accounts to try to get that person fired. That's what they're referring to. No, I got you.

They do that. But then the media instead of saying, wait, what is this weirdo group representing a foreign government that's, terrorizing any American that criticizes, like if you just fill in the blank for any other country, if there was a group that was like, if you criticize Bulgaria, we're going to destroy your family, people would write stories about that. Like, what is that super weird? If the Russians were doing it, if the Chinese were doing it. But when the Israelis and the Israeli lovers do it, they're like, nope, nope.

In fact, we're going to quote them as if it's real. Yeah. We're going to take their out of context quotes, their videos, et cetera. We're going to help them smear all of you and destroy any American who dares to cover the truth about Israel. Wait, we're not done yet. Now, that she was speaking of Israeli ampensy. She's a lady from stop-antysemitism.com, straped in the Israeli flag, ah, ha ha, terrorizing Americans. Here comes Rabbi Yehuda Kaplan, and let's see what he has to say. The scourge of anti-Semitism must be defeated anywhere and everywhere that it exists.

As we just heard before, from holding universities accountable to using, laws within the Justice Department existing laws to hold and prosecute crimes against the Jewish community from preventing people from working and going to worship in their shuls. And then, as was touched on very briefly, but a visa vetting program that we are just beginning now to see the results. They're doing a real good job fighting anti-Semitism. They're not multiplying it at at all through their actions. Yeah, and there at the end, he says, like basically we're telling the American government

who they can and cannot admit into America based on whether they've criticized Israel, okay? All under the guise of fighting anti-Semitism, and they do it to Jewish people too. It has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. Last thing, when I went to the university tour with my family a couple of weeks ago, I told some of the members in a bonus episode about it, students kept coming up to me, not just Muslim students, black students, white students kept coming up to me at all the different campuses going, oh, thank God you guys are saying something because we can't say anything on campus. They're making lists of anyone who goes to a protest or says anything about Israel, and they're

saying that they're gonna make sure that we can't get jobs coming out of college. Yep. Okay, what is this? This is insane. I go to give those speeches, as I told you about, after every speech, at least a half a dozen people come up from every room saying that they've been fired for either criticizing Israel or just supporting Palestinians, including Christians. Christians who said, well, okay, yes, but there's also Christians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and Lebanon and I want to support them. You're fired. You're being anti-Semitic for being pro-Christian.

You're being anti-Semitic if you care about Muslim lives lost. If you care about kids who are dead, you're anti-Semitic and your life will be ruined and your family will be targeted. Now who's a terrorist? How many- These are terrorists and they, because they are trying to literally terror real Americans in this country, and the terrorist sympathizers is every media ghoul and goblin that helps them terrorize us and covers up all of their vicious attacks against innocent Americans.

Okay, we'll be back. What would it's like to be me? My life is ruined. All right, guys, we're gonna do member Mondays today. So if you're a member, you can call in and ask me questions for first half hours about how we're gonna get changed in this government in this country. Second half hours just for the members in the bonus episode. So you gotta go through tyt.com slash call to figure out how to call.

It's not perfectly easy, but it's very, very doable. We had a lot of calls last time. TY.t.com slash call, okay? The reason why I'm saying it's not perfectly easy is because I want you to go and make sure that you can go through that process in enough time to make the call in just a little bit. Wang Jun said, is this what they meant by four dimensional chess? The war is both one and ongoing. ongoing nuclear facilities are both obliterated and enriching uranium. Negotiations have failed and are going great.

The straight is open and closed, et cetera, just on some sort of quantum superposition until he decides to look at it from a certain angle like his name is President Schrodinger. As usual, that is a brilliant comment. Okay, really nicely done. Situation lefty says everyone should read Adam Johnson's new book, How to Sell a Genocide, it's great. CMK 3592 says, I can't imagine being Jewish at a time like this. It's got to be greatly stressful because most of them are against the war and against the current government, but they're powerless because it's not about the average Jewish person, it's not about average anything, it's about very powerful leaders at the top. And then they get smeared along with them, right?

And so, yeah, anti-Semitism is going through the roof because of what, let's be I'm gonna say it because of what Jewish leaders are doing. On behalf of Jewish citizens who didn't sign up for it and who don't agree with it, we'll be back. All right, back on TYT, Jhannana with you guys. Guys, we've got just a little bit of time left. We're doing member Mondays right after this, and that's when you guys get to call in if you're a member, YouTube or TYT members, t.yt.com slash call so that you could do that. And if everybody, the easiest thing in the world to support the show is to ring the bell underneath the video on YouTube.

You want to join underneath, you know, there's also a join button as well, that's awesome. Forget if I said Rio Han 90, 64 earlier, but thank you for going to producer level. That's beautiful. You can also upgrade through the join button. Okay, so let me read the last couple of comments for you guys. Thoughtful Thinker 64 wrote in, the action of our media is sickening. Last week a journalist was assassinated by the IDF, but I never saw a peep on ABC or NBC, but they had time to give us stories they claimed were news.

Okay, that's a great point. There's an even a better example that Shrine Abuakle is an American journalist and she's Christian. She was murdered, CNN, New York Times say, yeah, she was assassinated by the IDF. Our government has never asked to arrest the killer. The killer has not been arrested. Neither is the commander who gave the order. We're not extraditing, we don't care. And think about it, guys.

That means that if you're an American citizen, they've killed 10 American citizens at least in the last three years, we have not asked them to arrest a single person who killed any of the Americans. That means if you go to Israel, you're taking your life into your hands, because they can literally murder you and our government won't even ask for justice. The Israelis are above the law. And by the way, I mean, we're talking about banning people. We should consider banning Israelis from coming to America because they literally can rape our daughters and sons, which is what Tom Alexander which was trying to do, and then the

The Americans that he was arrested with go to jail, he gets to get out of jail free card and a ride back to Israel. And by the way, that happens all the times with pedophiles. That's a little effect that the Israelis fight against it, because they don't want the pedophiles in their country either. But our government says Israelis can do anything they want here and we'll give them a free ride back to Israel. So if we allow them in, are we just letting them commit crimes against us? Yes.

All right, we'll be back on member Mondays.
