The Young Turks - Trump Gone Wild - October 2, 2026

Episode Date: October 3, 2026

Donald Trump continued attacking the word “affordability” during a Texas speech, arguing that it is being used to criticize his economic record even as he claims prices are falling. Elsewhere, a Palestinian prisoner describes nearly two years of detention in an Israeli prison, the White House has begun mailing $500 ACA refund checks to eligible enrollees, anti-Zionist Hasidic Jews face hate-crime charges after removing an Israeli flag.

Be sitting pretty, looking cool, sitting pretty. Thank you. Jake Huger, John Iroll it with you guys. So interesting show today, Donald Trump's falling apart at the seams, both in the polls, in what he's saying. It's just totally nonsensical now, it's fascinating. We'll get to that. Is he more mentally gone than Joe Biden is a conversation we're gonna begin to have?

And then after that, a Palestinian reporter shows what it's like to have been in inside one of Israel's prison slash gulags and gulag is not one percent exaggeration. That story will break your heart in a thousand ways. So it's incredible what the Israelis are doing. Meanwhile, while our media pretends that like their feelings are paramount, their feelings are not paramount, I don't care about their feelings at all as a torture and murder nonstop. And it's, it makes me sick the way the American media supports those fascists. Okay, anyways, we'll get to that in a little bit.

And Donald Trump with a dumb plan to theoretically give you $500, we'll tell you why that's a lie. It's like one lie after another after another. So a lot to get to. John, how are you? I'm doing well. I like the entire rundown. I can't wait to break down the most moral gulags in the world. I think that's going to be great.

Yeah, I think so too. Yeah. All right, everybody, of course, check out the damage report. One o'clock Eastern every day, Monday through Friday. All right, thanks for doing double duty today. So let's get started with our first start. And then at one o'clock in the morning with no moon dark as can be, these unbelievable machines, led by the most incredible pilots in the world.

They unloaded every single bomb, went right down air shoots into this drug factories, really. That's what they were doing. They were nuclear and drug. They were doing drugs, but they were doing the nuclear, but these drug factories slash nuclear factories were hit so hard. What in the world is he talking about? We invaded Iran because they were making drugs? What does he mean like aspirin or like meth?

What, Iranians were doing drugs. They're doing a little bit of drugs, a little bit of nuclear. And then I said, you know what, I didn't like the drug factories, I don't like the nuclear factories, this is down the shoot. I mean, was Biden ever this far gone? So look, in this story, you're going to get a couple more of these lunatic ravings of a madman who unfortunately happens to be our president. And then we're going to show you economic catastrophes that are coming.

But the good news is the electoral catastrophe for Trump and the Republicans are now almost baked in. We'll show you those devastating numbers for the Republicans as well. So a lot to get to Donald. So John tells about Donald Trump. me Donald Trump. No, no, no, no. I've never done that to you.

No, no. Anyway, yeah, I'm so confused about what we heard. I don't know if he saw a reference to nuclear medicine and got very confused about what that means, or did he see that like post credit scene with the incredible Hulk and he thinks that's what's going on deep underground? I'm so confused. And the fact that he's never mentioned this drug thing, nine months into the war, now he brings it up.

Very suspicious. But anyway, a lot that's going on is strange and hard to follow. He's been doing a little bit of campaigning for the Republicans, for better or worse, for the candidates, I guess. He was in Denton, Texas trying to drive enthusiasm for Ken Paxton. A candidate, he seems to very much despise, actually. He's not alone. I think he hates him more than I do, actually. Well, a lot of people hate him, so way to endorse him.

We appreciate it. Thanks a lot for that. But anyway, the topic of affordability came up, which obviously his aides have been telling him, dude, just pretend. to care about it, please. And he can't even do that, as you'll see. All other prices have come. They're coming down rapidly, but we inherit it. Remember they came up with the word affordability.

So from day one, they said, well, what about your prices? And then they came up. You know, they always come up with these words, affordability. So the fake news starts using it because they're partners with the Democrats. And the fake news would say, oh, they say it all the time to me. What about affordability? I'm saying, what about affordability? The prices are high.

I said, they're lower than they were. Think of it, gasoline's lower than it was with Biden, and we'd knock the hell out of a country that was gonna try and kill us, probably. Literally lies, everybody in that room knows that he's lying to him. Those are truckers, I'm pretty sure they know that the price of gasoline is higher. So right now, I checked it right before the show, the average price of a gallon of gasoline is $4.40. Now, we live in California, so it's way above that, but that's the national average, 440. In January 2025, when President Joe Biden left office, it was 310, it was 50% less than it is

right now. Diesel obviously going up perhaps even more as a percentage. And every one of those truckers knows that, just as much as they know that the price of everything is higher. And so what you have is a group of truckers listening to a billionaire lie to them about their own economic circumstances. And that's supposed to drive people to want to vote for the Republicans, which I will never understand. But let's talk about the overall added cost to the American consumer for what Donald Trump has done just in energy prices. So households, according to energy innovation, households in America will pay an additional $920 billion for energy just between 2026 and 2040. $920 billion, that's $6,500 per household. That's nothing for Donald Trump.

He doesn't care, he doesn't fill up a gas tank or whatever we pay for his gas. But he can just poo-poo the fact that we have to pay that because it's irrelevant to him. And it's not just gas that we're talking about here. All types of energy are more expensive. He said that it would all be 50% less. It's all significantly more. Fuel, yes, diesel, yes, but also electricity. And that energy innovation study found,

that there will be more demand for fossil gas for electricity in no small part thanks to the fact that the administration has canceled new wind, solar, and hydrogen projects. And there will be more gasoline demand for transportation because Trump and Congress are revoking policies that incentivize efficient and lower emissions vehicles. So we're not gonna have more renewable energy, so more stress on the fossil fuels, which will drive up the price of those, and pollute America more sickening and killing many Americans. And they just cut the fleet wide calf standards from 50 down to 35. So you're gonna need to use likely way more fuel, which is artificially more expensive,

thanks to Donald Trump. It's like he got his fuel failure in with his tech failure. It's all mixed together, it's a force multiplier. And so yeah, you know, Americans aren't really happy about how things are going. And I think it's gonna take more than what you saw in that video for Trump to convince people otherwise. They came up with this word affordability. Did they?

I'm pretty sure that was in the English dictionary. And another way to talk about affordability is, well, our prices higher or lower? Can we afford them or can't we afford them? What's another word for prices being higher? Oh, inflation. I wonder if Donald Trump mentioned inflation at all in his campaign. Oh, right, nonstop every day, 200 times. They came up with this word, inflation.

Okay, I mean, nobody came out with any words. We were having trouble with inflation. By the way, we had it under Biden. We're an honest show, so we talked about it. We were very clear about it. We didn't hide it. And now it's much worse under Donald Trump. And he's pretending, and he said basically, who cares?

And he said that in many forms, many different times, right? You know, I don't care about the prices. He doesn't care about the gas prices, he said he doesn't care about overall prices. He likes that housing prices are higher because in his selfish, egotistical narcissistic narcissistic mind, he's thinking, I have houses, their price just went up. Ha ha ha ha ha, ha, you can't afford them, but I make more money. But you're supposed to be our president and you're supposed to care about us, just a smidge. So I don't know who's not exhausted by his lies.

But guys, that price tag that John Redd, you about 6,500. That's over a long period of time. But if you do the math on that, it's at least about $500 a year. But the first couple of years will be even worse. But let's take the lowest number, 500. So because of this war, you're all going to have to pay $500 more this year. Just on that alone, by the way, when you take it into account many other things that we've been hurt by, it gets into the thousands, right?

I've seen the number as high as 6,000. So all of you guys have to pay that. But like for a billionaire, and now he is a billionaire before he was faking it, but now the crypto scams, which we'll talk about later in the show, actually made him a billion dollars last year just on the literal crypto scams, right? So for him, he's like $500 more, why would anybody care about that? $500 or several thousand dollars to the rest of us is significant pain, right? And but hey, listen, it's the least you could do for Israel.

100%. Yeah, I mean, this is of course obviously Israel's war. We have nothing to do with it. But since Donald Trump apparently did something terrible earlier in his life that the Israelis apparently have tape on, I don't know that for sure, but that's the only thing that explains this, he, Donald Trump does not listen to anyone on anything. He's a total rabid dog. He will not, I mean, that was one of his upsides.

He can't be controlled. And then, you know, who walks him around the park, like the, like the most servile little puppy you've ever seen. And I know for a fact that Nan Yahoo is bragging all over the Middle East that he controls the American government completely. Because he thinks I have something that makes Donald Trump follow me 100%. And so the part that is inarguable in public is Donald Trump follows that Yahoo 100%. Whatever Nanyahu demands, he does it. And he goes, yeah, but what's the big

deal? It just costs you, not me. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. And so this is a sick son of a bitch who's pretending to be our president serving other countries and himself. And John, the polls, you know you probably got more on it, but so right now last AP poll had a man, minus 38, 69% disapproval. That is just a massive, massive, massive. number, only 31% approval. And this lunatic thinks that he'd win easily if he ran again. And okay, I get it, he's a psychopath. But does anybody believe this stuff, John?

I mean, how can anybody in MAGA be this diluted? Because the people who are voted for independence and some portion of right wing MAGA have already left the building. So the third of his voters are gone, that's why he's at 31% approval rating minus 38, right? So anyone with any degree of sanity has already left the building. The other two thirds of his voters, are they mentally ill? Like, do they think that their prices are lower when it's obviously higher? When he's at minus 38, do they really believe him when today he says he'd win by 25 points?

Do they really believe the ramblings of this psychotic mind? Is it that, like guys, I know he's crushed in the polls, and we're gonna get to the midterms in a second, and they're gonna get crushed there. The 31% is a miserable number for favorability for a president. But nevertheless, about a third of this country believes a deranged psychopath who hasn't told the truth in over a decade. And they believe the things that he says that are psychopathing are true. It's unbelievable. And they, it's not that they like him despite knowing he lies.

Some of them still think that he's honest. It's the most maddening thing ever. I get like the top five to 10% of the country likes his economic policies because they they are actually benefiting from that, correctly. That makes total sense. Then maybe you have 5% of the country that is so driven by like one particular issue, one religious issue or one ideological issue that they don't care, even if they acknowledge that he's ruining their families' finances in future, they may not care.

And that may be different for different people. There might be some people that are so rabidly anti-choice that they don't care if their kids will never own a home or go to school or whatever. There might be some people that like him being dog walked around by Benjamin and Yahoo and don't care what it means for their family finances. I think it's like little slices of the pie that add up to like 20% or 25% that will, it will be literally impossible to get them to understand what's actually going on. I think that the polls in a lot of cases have moved in the direction of rationality.

Most, almost every independent knows that he's terrible on these issues. A lot of Republicans do. It's just never gonna match up with what we think a rational electorate would act like. Yeah, but you hit on something there that's important and you reminded me of it. So people should know that. So I wrote about this on social media and some right winger wrote in and said, you know, we knew that he was lying about a lot of things before, right? But we tolerated because what choice did we have?

We thought he's the rebel outsider against the corrupt elite insiders. But now that we know he's not. And he's just another elite insider who tricked us, then the law. lies become unbearable, right? So I think that a lot of folks that are still in this camp know that he's lying, but think they're still in the old world because they watch Fox News. And they still think like, yeah, sometimes he's got a lie, you know, that's no big deal. But he's a rebel outside, he's gonna stick it to the deep state.

He didn't release the MC Foxx. He is the deep state. Yeah, and some of them won't know that he's lying because Fox News almost never acknowledges it. Yeah, that's the main thing. Yeah, I'd love to like just have a reporter, ask those truckers, hey, are you paying less or more than you were for gas? Every one of them knows that they're paying more. They know that he's directly lying to them. I think that would be fascinating. They should have booed him. Anyway, with that said, let's talk more about approval.

Donald Trump is doing this big speech and he's talking about his current popularity, which he thinks is doing very well. Take a look. All the voters, I think if I ran today, I'd win by 25%. Yeah, but like you didn't get 50% to the vote ever, literally ever. When you were more popular, you couldn't crack 50%. Again, maybe he knows that he's lying, maybe he's deluded himself. He seems like a guy who's shrouded himself with layers of self-delusion for his entire life. We do know that right now the AP has a new poll showing his approval rating at 31%,

the lowest number they've recorded for either of his terms. He's less popular than when thousands of Americans were dying each and every day, to the pandemic that he surrendered on doing anything about. It's literally worse than that now. And it's for a lot of different issues. Obviously, there's international chaos, wars he said he would end that he couldn't or wouldn't. New wars that he began, the provocations of all these different countries, the layers of unnecessary trade wars that have driven up the price of so many goods and just overall, it's just utter chaos.

So there's a lot of different issues. It's causing problems for the midterms though. Donald Trump may not be on the ballot, but a lot of Republicans are and their numbers are being dragged down by Donald Trump. And then also in some cases, because the candidates are terrible. So let's talk about a candidate who's being hit on both sides, which is Ken Paxton, really unpopular, flawed candidate. Donald Trump is campaigning on his behalf, or at least that's ostensibly what he's doing

when he goes to Texas. But whenever you hear Donald Trump talk about Ken Paxton, it doesn't seem like he's really trying to get him elected. Take a look. Ken Paxton was up my side more than anybody. And I have to always remember that, because he could be a pain of the ass sometimes, I'll be honest. Is he here, by the way? Oh, there he is.

Good. I didn't even know if he's here. I don't care. I didn't know. And I also, I don't care that the guy who's going to be in the Senate is there. You're doing a campaign event for the guy. You didn't check to see if he was in the building with you when you decided to do that. How irrelevant are any of these candidates?

And I get it in some cases. He just decided to make Darling Graham a senator or whatever. Darling Graham has no experience, no knowledge, no nothing, whatever. But Ken Paxton ostensibly is like an established politician. Trump doesn't give a damn about him. And obviously in the polling, Tala Rico is still doing well. It seems like it's tightened a little bit, although Fox News just came out with a poll that had Tala Rico up by seven points over Ken Paxton.

And I don't know how much endorsements like you just saw are really gonna help Ken Paxton. What do you think? Yeah, so look, I'm worried that some of the Democrats across the country are trying to find ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. But I think that the polling is so disastrous for the Republicans that it's, at least in regards to the House, it seems inconceivable that they could recover. So this is as big a gap as I've ever seen, I think, in my life between the two parties in generic polling before a midterm election.

But that's not the biggest problem the Republicans have. And Donald Trump trying to make this at a referendum about himself when he's at minus 38% approval is another giant problem. But that's related to the top problem, but not the top problem itself. So the top problem is voter turnout. So how are Republicans going to get excited to turn out for this dumpster fire? Because before they were super jazzed up because they're gonna go get to the deep state. Now they know Trump is the deep state. They were going to go get the elites.

He is the elites. They were against perpetual war in the Middle East. He started a perpetual war in the Middle East. And we go on and on and on. And he has betrayed them in every imaginable way. Now, that doesn't mean that two thirds of his supporters don't still support them. They do. But first of all, one third don't at all.

That's a giant number. If those guys don't show up to vote for Republicans, which I don't know why they would, right? They don't feel just betrayed by Trump. They feel betrayed by the entire Republican Party. And let alone the issue of Israel, because they see vote after vote, every Republican goes, we serve Israel loyally, more of your money, more of your friends and family sent over to die in Iran, et cetera. And so they got eyes and ears.

So at this point, if that third doesn't show up, it's already good night, Irene. I mean, it could be the biggest, like, title wave election we've ever seen. It is pretty gerrymandered, that will help a bit. It's massively gerrymandered. If it wasn't massively gerrymandered, oh my god, this would be a tidal wave of tsunami, right? Like Gingrich. But even with the massive gerrymandering and all the advantages that the Republicans built into the system structurally for themselves, even so they won't be able to withstand it.

This will not. But then forget the ones that you wanna get to the two thirds, they're still on Trump's side, but some of them won't show up to vote because they're not as angry. They're not as excited, right? And they're trying to create a boogeyman, that's their favorite thing like, oh, the Democrats, they're socialist, communist, Islamists, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't think it's landing at all. And they always say that.

Yeah, and it's boring, and they've said that a billion times, and running these negative things, like, you know, the Democrats ran Trump bad. Now the Republicans are running Democrats bad, right? Yeah. Some generic socialist thing that nobody understands, right? Yeah, and something about Islam, but yeah, if you're rabid, racist, but yeah, if you're rabid, you know, bigoted portion of your voters, fine, but they were gonna vote for you anyway and they were excited to vote anyway, because they're always after like, who are we against? Right?

So those guys are baked in and they're at the very edge of the political spectrum. But for the rest of, for a lot of those people, they're like, Islamist, yeah, I got it, I got it, we gotta go fight another war for Israel, I got it, right? And I don't think that's working anymore. So everything is stacked against them. So but I, you know, one thing they got to stop doing, the Senate Democrats, the candidates, they got to stop doing apology tours, man. I'm sorry, but it's my job is to be honest with you guys.

Troy Jackson and Abdul al-Said, please stop apologizing. For God's sake, they're, oh, are you an anti-Semite? Or are you anti-Semite? Tell them to shove it up their ass, okay? Oh, are you an anti-Sin? No, you're a bigot, okay? Well, oh, you didn't ask me about the 75,000 dead Palestinians. And he didn't ask Mike Rogers and he didn't ask anybody else because you're a bigot.

Go ahead, ask me the question again. And tell me how little you care about Muslim children because you hate Muslims. Go ahead, tell the audience how much you hate Muslims. Tell them how much you hate Christians who they're murdering in Lebanon right now. Go on the offense. Instead, I see Troy Jackson and Abdul al-Said apologizing all over media. Every anchor is a liar. Don't like, challenge them.

Everyone hates the media. So what do you give us softball interviews to the media for? and like halfway equivocating. So Troy Jackson, my God, I knew that the establishment like was like they were once Graham Plantner was gone and they wanted to take him out so badly. One day you guys will find out the real story about Graham Plantner and then you'll be livid. Anyway, that's for another day when somebody breaks that story.

But Troy Jackson, they're like, oh, he's fine. I'm like, why? His views are similar to Grand Platner. All the, you know, progressive left says Troy Jackson has the right. right views because they knew he wasn't gonna campaign, he was just gonna sit there and apologize to everyone. Yeah, maybe, I do think, look, if either of them apologizes or if either of them denounces Hassan, then that will be the end of it and there will be no more questions.

And then we can move on to other things. I will say just briefly, what I find so fascinating about the lead that the Democrats have is that it is almost entirely Donald Trump and the Republican sucking. Like there are a few good Democrats that might be overall raising people's evaluations. the Democrats, Mom Dhani's very popular, some candidates like Tala Rico and everything. But it's not like Chuck Schumer's got this like slam dunk corruption narrative that he's been running around the country. It's pretty much just that people don't like the Republicans. And I, this would be my last point to you. I wonder if like the last thing Trump could do

to drive some enthusiasm would be to just start lying, just baselessly allude to the idea that there's a Supreme Court justice that's going to step down as soon as the midterms are done. And so you have to, it doesn't matter how much you hate our candidates. We have an opportunity like the next day for a Supreme Court justice. So you've got to vote for that. Maybe that's one thing that can incentivize some of the Christian voters at the very least. Yeah. Look, last thing about the Democrats potentially blowing this, because I don't think that's going to work.

I don't think anything is going to work. The whole thing, the Republicans are in massive trouble. The only thing that could ruin it is the Democratic candidates themselves. Stop listening to consultants. Those are the morons who have lost almost every election they've been a part of. Get their stench off of you. So what they've done what you guys don't know is they've convinced a lot of these candidates to cut off all their allies. Oh, no, but then the Zionist media will attack you and call you an anti-Semite.

Don't talk to anyone. Don't go on their shows, go hide in a cave, don't go get any allies. Because if you have allies, the media will attack them. The media is a bunch of pricks who are lying propagandas. Of course, they're gonna attack you no matter what. Because their job is to try to destroy all outsider candidates who won't bow their head to the establishment. The mainstream media is your enemy. Wake up. Stop playing into their games. Instead, they go on cable news. I'm so sorry to all the Zionists. I'm so, what are you sorry for? They committed a genocide. They should be sorry.

You should go on the air and say, no, I demand an apology for the Palestinians. Did you apologize for never calling it a genocide, so-called news anchor? If you're a news anchor, do you not have eyes? Gaza is obliterated. Go ahead, liar. Tell me, it's not a genocide. See, that's a strong candidate. And you can say, oh, no, people don't like mean people and all that garbage,

that Democratic consultants lied to us about our whole lives. No, you should be civil and like be a coward and weakling and grovel at the feet of the Republicans. That's what are voters like? No, they don't. Voters like strength. Why do you think Grant Platner was pulling like what, 10 points higher, 15 points higher than Troy Jackson? Because consultants are scum, they're lying to you. Voters love strength. Show them strength, stop apologizing, and we'll win the House, the Senate, and everything. else, but the only way we can lose is if these candidates keep listening to the morons who are advising them, why isn't Angie Nixon on every show? You're supposed to go get the

voters and convince them to vote for you. I'll tell you why. Because her advisors are like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Troy Jackson, go in a cave. Angie Nixon go in a cave, everybody go in a cave. Abdul, you can go on TV, but make sure you apologize to everyone nonstop. No, go out there and make your case win over the voters, go on the office. For God's sake, do the bare minimum. Tell them how awful your opponent is. Mike Rogers is a servant of Israel. He's a guy who says he will serve Israel unconditionally.

There are no conditions. He is there's loyal slave and servant. Do you want to tell the voters that? No, no, we got to apologize first. Yeah, right. Susan Collins has been robbing you for decades. She's one of the biggest criminals in the country. ProPublica just broke a story about how she's basically taking bribes and then taking your money in Maine and giving it to her donors.

That's a criminal, make the case instead, oh, I'm so sorry that I've offended Zionists. Their feelings are more important in Maine or their citizens or our money or our voters, and I'm just going to cater to Zionist feelings. Oh, for God's sake. That's the only way you could lose. I think the idea is if Trump and the Republicans are so bad, just keep your head down, don't campaign. And that's how Hillary Clinton won in 2016.

Exactly. So you go out aggressively, you'll win everything. I'm just worried that some of these candidates have been convinced to not campaign, not have any allies, and use the worst possible strategy. So that's the Democrats trying super hard to lose elections that seem unloosable. Yeah. Why don't we take a break? Lots more to get to after this.

I love the poorly educated. I don't care. Back on TYT. On tYOT.com, our members have made a lot of good points. Tynetta wrote in affordability is only a new word to Trump. I hadn't considered that. That's a great point. It's possible that moron has never even heard that word.

Like groceries. He doesn't shop. Yeah, he's like groceries. It's a word they came out with, groceries. Jesus Christ, cash register. Nobody's ever heard of it before. I started using the word the groceries. He came up with the term superfood.

Most people don't know that. He literally once said he invented the word fake. I don't care. All right, Urban Hermit says data centers guzzled diesel during grid outages and will likely ensure their primacy. Guys, diesel is a disaster. It's even way worse than normal gas prices. So people that have to deal with diesel are furious.

But keep going, keep punching us in the face for Israel. See how that turns out for you. Nerd Ferguson says, he misread. They are nuclear drag factories. If they introduce a culture war into the Iran war, it'll become more popular with the GOP. There was drag shows going. They were reading to the kids. So that's why we had to bomb the kids and murder them.

You see how immoral they are? Okay, Asimals Prophet. That was a combination of Trump and Mark Levitt. Yeah. Asimov's profit, how can they think he's going to stick it to the deep state? He was already president for four years. Stick it to the deep state. Then I know, brother, that's such a good point.

I made that point to them many times. And they're like, no, no, no, no, he just needs four more years. Sure. Micrograms on Twitch, I hope he keeps campaigning for more Republicans, so they go down with him. Yeah, it's a contest right now between Chuck Schumer trying to lose the races and Donald Trump trying to lose the races. And this is a battle royale. I mean, these are two of the top morons of my life in politics. So good luck to him.

All right, back on TYT, Jank and John with you guys. A couple of the members have different theories on why he said that he was bombing the drug factories of Iran. Rupert Fellows 4144 says he's a YouTube member. Trump is getting mixed up with his Iranian and his Venezuelan lies. Yeah, I thought the same thing. He's like, he's like, oh, we bombed, what did Netanyahu tell me? Venezuela was for drugs? Wait, was Iran for drugs?

I forget, I don't know, but Nibi, BB, who should I attack next? Okay, and what's our boy, BS reason for it? Okay, and then angry comm on Twitch says, nuclear drugs, that'll blow your mind. Maybe that's what it was. So I like that you guys are thinking. All right, we got many more stories for you guys, so let's go to this next one. Earlier this week, Israel murdered another journalist. They murdered more journalists than every country and every conflict in the world combined.

That's because if you're running a mob-like operation, you don't want any witnesses around. That's why the mob kills witnesses, and that's why the fascist in Israel murder witnesses on a regular basis. But they also imprison them and try to drain the life out of them by constantly torturing them. One of those Palestinian prisoners is out now, and we're gonna share his story, some of these things are so harrowing, but you really need to listen to this. Because unless you see stories like this, you have no idea how monstrous the Israelis are.

And yes, I said the Israelis, they know all of this torture and humiliation and starvation and all the disgusting things that they're doing in their gulags to perfectly innocent people. But the Israelis say, no, more, more. And they've become a vicious, sick society. And when you hear some of the heartbreaking stories here, you're gonna understand why guys like me that have to read these every day are so angry with Israel. So if you, please know the real facts before you make decisions about Israel. So John, tell them the story. Yes, so we're gonna show you sort of a photo of just a bunch of the journalists who have been killed.

But we are going to focus on one first, Muhammad Abdel Aziz al-Najar, the 263rd journalist to be killed by Israel since just October 2023rd. You can see Muhammad right there. This is a story deserving of discussion, which is why you will not hear about it from the mainstream media. He worked apparently as a presenter and producer for the Holy Quran radio according to the Palestine Chronicle. It's affiliated with the Gaza Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs. He also served as an Imam. Apparently he was working on producing media material related to Quran memorization and was targeted and killed while doing that work.

Seven other Palestinians were killed in that strike as well. Just bear in mind, there's a ceasefire on right now, and there has been for a very long time, eight people killed in a single strike. That's just a day in the life of the ceasefire apparently. I'm just gonna say one quick thing, John. Our media never reports that because they think Palestinian lives are lower than dirt. They think, who cares?

It's just stupid Palestinians being murdered. Good, good, they had it coming. They don't think it's important. If that was eight Israelis, then- Oh my God. They would have- Oh my God! There's really, real human beings, real human beings, have been hurt that when 160 people on that plane fly Dubai were potentially injured, gigantic national, oh my God,

in Israeli, potentially hurt, potentially. Oh my God, they're feelings, they're feelings. Okay, fine, you want to be upset about that story? That makes sense. 160 people are being murdered in the West Bank this year alone, over 1,000 since October 7th. And our media is like, yeah, who cares? They're not humans like the Israelis, they're just cattle and they should be slaughtered. And they're journalists.

You pretended to care when Khashoggi was chopped up by the Saudis, right? Oh, we care so much about journalists. Israel's murdering journalists more than everyone else combined? Who cares about stupid journalists? They deserve to be murdered for reporting on one. Poor beloved Israel is doing. Our media is disgustingly sick. They're immoral, they're nearly Goebbels-level propaganda.

Listen to what's actually happened, what the Israelis are doing to innocent journalists because they don't want any witnesses of their crimes against humanity. And this is not hypothetical. CNN, MSNBC have been going for hours and hours today. Have they talked about it? If we're wrong, we're wrong, send us a message. If they talk about it tonight, they've got how many shows they're gonna do an hour of news each. Maybe we're wrong, maybe they'll discuss that I kind of doubt it.

That said, as I said, seven other Palestinians were killed in the same strike that killed Muhammad. Let's go to this. And so this is really devastating, but you need to know how brutal this is. He had a family, he had three children, you're seeing right there. He was returned to his family and his children without his head. They returned what was left of his body when he was murdered. And here is what just yesterday the IDF put out. It's they put this together.

They decided to put up the photos of 170 of the journalists they killed, which is the majority of the journalists they've killed, but like a little bit more than half. Just imagine almost two of those. That's how many journalists have been murdered. And they said, no, no, no, military operatives. So don't, it doesn't matter. Don't worry about them. Don't worry about their families.

Doesn't matter. Like the IDF cares. Like they would care if they knew they were journalists. And they do know they don't care at all. And we can go through how they make up these BS explanations to explain how one of these journalists is actually a member of Hamas. In one case, they said that Ismail Al Ghul, who was killed in July 24, got a Hamas, military rank in 2007.

He was born in 1997, so I guess he was a Wunderkind since he got military rank at 10. But that's the sort of nonsense that you come up with when you don't really care about the facts and you don't really expect the media to check it anyway. Just throw it whatever you want and say, he was military or whatever. Now we're talking to hear about the killings. There are also those who are being held, detained for long periods of time, and a lot of them also die, bear in mind. So we have a Palestinian journalist, Mahjad Mujah al-Sadi, who wrote about his experience

being held for a very long time in Israeli detention available on drop site for all the details. But we're gonna read you just a couple of excerpts. Mujahid says, since October 7th, the occupation's prisons, which are overseen by national security minister, Edmar Ben-Gavir, has become graveyards for the living. Prisoners are subjected to various forms of abuse, including starvation, humiliation, and deliberate killing through a policy of medical, medical neglect. I was detained for six months, an arbitrary detention without a clear charge based on the claim that I posed a security threat, even though I was just working as a journalist covering

events in the city of Jenin and across the West Bank. After the first six month detention period ended, they renewed it for a second, third, fourth, and fifth time until I had spent 22 months without charge and without any evidence whatsoever. And during that time, you have no idea when you will be released if you will ever. be released. And while you're in there, you will be held in conditions that as we alluded to earlier in the show are not, there's not a prison, it's a gulog, that's all it is. He was beaten on sensitive parts of his body. First days in the prison, a journalist stripped of his clothes,

given foul, old, old foul-smelling clothes, a mattress at least 10 years old. There's no market or commissary for you to buy like medicine or anything like that. Apparently a single painkiller tablet would be shared between 10 prisoners. It's basically a placebo at that point. Food was so rare that prisoners would save and eat three meals all at once so they would briefly feel full and then go back to the perpetual starvation that they were feeling. He didn't have a shower for 15 days after he was arrested. Eventually he was given a 30 gram packet of shampoo.

You get one of those each week. Apparently 95% of prisoners develop scabies because there's no basic hygiene or anything like that. I just want to remind everyone, Israel is we are told, a modern and developed nation. It is a wealthy nation. I think they could afford to treat the prisoners better than this if they either respected their basic humility or humanity, consider that they might be wrong about literally any of this. And oh dear God, we have some innocence or if they thought that it would matter if it came out. Like if they thought that American media would pick it up, or if the Israeli people were to see it,

there would be an outcry, then they wouldn't treat them this way. But this is how they're treating them up until today and tomorrow, so evidently they're not exactly worried about the reporting. No, no, they know that they own American media, and I'm not hiding that at all. Okay, so you're right, John, when NBC News crew was attacked in the West Bank, all of a sudden they panicked and they were like, oh yeah, that's true, that minor little thing. Oh, I can't, don't attack the reporters, they're on our news. side. They're doing, they're lying to Americans to deceive them. And so, but if you attack them,

then they're going to have to report that. But otherwise, they're in our back pocket and they're hiding all of our crimes. So now I want to give you the rest of the story from this particular prisoner. So first of all, so you should know there's 10,000 hostages that Israel has. Most of them do not get charged with any crime. They say, well, they could be guilty of something. We have no evidence and we lock up journalists. And by the way, once they murder someone in the West Bank, they arrest his family, a lot of times family and friends and any witnesses. And they throw them in their gulags and torture them for a couple of years and then let them out. Why?

Because they don't want them talking to the press. And if there was any journalists around, they arrest them too and put them in the gulag. And the reason that they're arresting these people is because they want to brutalize them and intimidate them so that no one could ever. ever, you know, protest their occupation. So our press, when there was 250 hostages, is rarely hostages, people that they consider to be human beings, they wouldn't stop about every day about the hostages, hostages, okay, good, I care about human beings, I care that, I think it's great that you care about 250 hostages. How about the 10,000 Palestinian hostages?

Yeah, they're just Palestinian cattle. Good, good, and how dare you report the truth about that? Just shut up, shut up, you anti-s, you. I'm like, they should be allowed to torture all of them. They don't have to have any evidence. And the Israelis can keep as many hostages as they like because they're the beloved moral army. Do you see how disgustingly sick our press is? How they lie to you every single day to protect their beloved Israel?

That it's just a giant propaganda operation? Hold on. Now I'm going to tell you all the things that they did this poor guy. John told you about a third of it. So they beat folks every day. They beat him when they came into his house. They beat him. They beat all the prisoners.

Again, remember a lot of them, there's the great majority of them, no charges, no evidence. They're not, didn't actually do anything wrong. When they come to the prison, every single one of them gets beat severely and then thrown into the prison. This guy went in, weighing around 198 pounds, came out at around 130 pounds. Jesus. Because how much of the nutrition that a normal human being is supposed to get, are they giving in the prison? to give you a sense of how little the food is. It's not like, oh my God, he didn't like the burger and fries he got.

No, they're giving 5% of the nutrition that a normal adult is supposed to get. They're giving them almost nothing to eat. They're systematically starving all of them. 5%. That's Nazi level stuff, okay? 90 have died in the prisons, and since October 7th, why did they die? Because for example, the scabies here, let me read you that. Symptoms of scabies include rashes that appear all over the body and unsensitive areas,

accompanied by constant distressing, itching that prevents prisoners from sleeping or resting. Boyles developed that discharge infected blood. One prisoner developed boils on his body near his heart, they burst causing internal bleeding and infection inside his body. And they let him die. And if you got internal bleeding, they just wait till you die. They don't give you medical treatment. This prisoner, his brother died while he was in prison because they did another raid to murder more Palestinians and steal their homes.

They murdered his brother in the midst of it, but he hadn't actually died after he got shot, but they wouldn't let an ambulance come in. They let him bleed out and they watched him die because they're Mangala, because they're Nazis. And so this is what they do all the time, you don't know it because of all the because of all the Our press works for them so they refuse to report these brutal torture that Israel does over and over every single day to these people. Okay, so you don't have what percentage of the prisoners have scabies? 95%.

So they all have these rashes all over their body, 95% because the Israelis let the disease run wild and they don't give them any sanitation at all so that the disease can set in and make sure that it brutalized. is all of them. But that's not all. The humiliation is the part that you guys never see. And to me in a lot of ways is some of the worst things that the occupation does. So one day they decide, you know what, time for random torture. So they take him and 20 others out around 8 o'clock in the Magidotiv prison, and it's freezing outside.

They strip them down naked, that's one of the favorite things that Israelis love to do to humiliate Palestinian men. Sometimes they'll strip them naked and have them go around town in their underwear. Sometimes it's fully naked. And in this case, fully naked, shackled face downs on their stomachs, their hands tied behind their backs, and their faces in a sewage gate. And the sewage smells so bad that they nearly pass out for a minute. And it's an unbearable stench.

Why? Just for fun, just to torture Palestinians. Mangala. This is what fascists do. And they're doing this nonstop. And our press is like, good, good. Are they Palestinians? Go ahead, torture them.

Humiliate them. I love it. I love it when the Israelis slaughter Palestinians, right? Cable news anchors, show me one of you, one of you that's called it a genocide. One of you that's talked about any of these stories. No, you hide it for Israel, because you know that if you said this on your air, you would be fired immediately. Some Zionists that's an executive or owns the company would come down and go,

you have criticized Israel, you anti-Semite, destroy him, destroy him. Because a bunch of Zionist thugs run the great majority of our media in this country, and their job is to lie to you. How do you think they stole $320 billion from us? Do you think our worst enemy could steal $320 billion from us? No, no, they couldn't. But if all the media tells you you owe Israel, Israel's the greatest country in the world, We're never going to report any of their atrocities, and we're going to make it seem like you're a disgusting immoral anti-Semite unless you hand over your wallet, unless you hand over your army, unless you go die for Israel.

So I'm not done yet. So these six sons of bitches, they are supposed to let you see your lawyers. It's supposed to last 30 to 45 minutes. They're supposed to let see your family. That's theoretically Israeli law. But Israeli law is BS. Israeli law is only for Jewish people. If you're not Jewish, they don't apply the law at all because it's an obvious apartheid state.

So what do they do instead? Your family members, they have to go through this enormous petition and process, et cetera. And they have to pay $230 to see you per visit in the West Bank? $230 is a small fortune. You know how much time they get after that? Five minutes. Oh my God. And in that, but before they get the five minutes, this is what happens every time.

They take the prisoner out at 6 a.m. And they make them kneel down shackled. When does the family member come in? 3 p.m. They make them wait on their knees shackled, hungry, and beat them before their family comes. Make them wait there for nine hours. Their family comes five minutes, that's it, and then they beat them after. Lawyers are supposed to be 35 to 40 minutes.

They only get 10 minutes. You can't make your case with a lawyer for 10 minutes on these. That's to update you on all the things that happened with your family in the last here because he can barely see you. So beatings before the lawyer comes, beatings after though. But wait, before the lawyer, but then the lawyer will have that on the record. They don't care, there is no law in Israel. There's no law at all.

So 99% of the people murdered in the West Bank never get any justice. No one's arrested, no one's convicted. 99% of the Palestinians that are arrested are convicted with sometimes no others, but it doesn't matter. That's a relatively small number, because most of them, you know, but it's a relatively small number, because Because most of them, there's no evidence at all. There's no charges, they're just hostages. So, and then his lawyer told him that his brother had died while he was in prison. He starts crying, oh, you're crying, a new round of beatings.

Everything results in a beating because they're torturers. These are gulags, these are torture chambers. But because our media loves Israel, they decide to lie to you every single day, cover up all of these crimes so you'll never find out how heinous their beloved Israel is. Because if you found out, you wouldn't want to send them $320 billion. You wouldn't want to do a needless war to destroy their enemies in Iran and all these other places. You wouldn't want to let them take southern Lebanon and murder all those people in Gaza and murder

all those people in the West Bank and take that land. But that's why our media has to lie to you. So that you don't ever find out that their favorite country in the world is actually a bunch a fascist who torture people and keep hostages and murder journalists every single day. And then they tell you, oh, beloved Israel, and anyone who is opposed to a genocide, anyone who's opposed to torture, anyone who's opposed to gulags, is the bad guys? No, no, we're the good guys. Anyone defending this is deeply evil, including almost every so-called reporter in this country.

Because they're not reporters. Their job is to lie to you, to make you sure that you kneel for a foreign nation. Prove me wrong, reporters. Report on this. You won't because you're servants of Israel and your job is to lie to the readers, lie to the viewers. Go ahead. You can't prove any of us wrong. You've got none of the facts on your side.

All you have is, oh, we're going to cancel them. We're going to call them anti-Semites and ruin their lives on behalf of Israel. And I'm a reporter, no you're not, you're a piece of crap who is a loves torturing human beings, as long as they're Muslim, right? Every single mainstream media reporter that covers this topic and doesn't cover these issues and lies to you is deeply immoral, is a terrorist sympathizer who, and who wants you to pay to terrorize Muslims, because they're the most bigoted, racist people in the world. Anyone who works in mainstream media is evil.

Their job is to cover up these atrocities so that more of them could be done on your dime. I just want to be absolutely curious. Free Palestine and free America from the scourge of the evil, radical, rabid Zionists that have totally taken over our government and our media and drive us to fund the atrocities of the new Nazis, young Turks. Yeah, every day I come in and I say, no, I'm not going to get angry and I'm not going to get worked up and I'm going to calmly tell you the story. But how are you going to stay calm through that? Well, actually, if you get paid a lot, millions of dollars by MS now or CNN or Fox News, it's super easy to stay calm.

Oh, I'm getting paid $10 million, $20 million. I'm Rachel Maddo. Oh, yeah, Israel's wonderful. Palestinians are scum. They're all terrorists. Right, Rachel? Where are you, Rachel? I remember you when you were a decent human being.

Have you said anything about Gaza? Do you care 1% about Palestinians? No, no, no. Because oh, you don't want to lose that $25 million paycheck. You're getting super rich doing Israeli propaganda, Rachel Maddo. Keep going, keep going. No, no, no. Don't treat the Palestinians as human beings.

I said, oh, that would be a very right-wing position, right? Yeah, I'm sickened by all of them. Sickened, at a bare minimum. They know how the Israelis are torturing the Palestinians. And they look the other way. To be fair, $25 million to do a show once a day, once a week is a lot of money. So for that kind of money, all the Israeli propaganda, you could buy apparently. All right, it doesn't matter, she's not going to listen to it.

She's not going to listen to me, she's not going to listen to you. All she's going to listen to is that sweet, sweet paycheck to be bigoted against Muslims, to be racist against Palestinians. Yeah, I'm accusing you, Rachel Maddo. You haven't said one goddamn thing about how the Israelis are brutalizing the Palestinians. You're sick, you're immoral, you're evil. I hope the $25 million was worth it. I remember when you were a decent person. I don't remember that person anymore because I don't see that person.

Young Turks. Back on Young Turks. I'm supposed to read your comments during the break. I can't stop raging. All right, look, if you want to strike back at Israel, support this show. This is the show they hate most of all. Just realized the other day, I'm gonna say it out loud. I think this is the largest media organization in America that is not owned or operated by a Zionist.

Why do you think we're the only ones screaming from the rooftops about the truth and about reality and about protecting all human beings? Because literally everyone above us is owned and operated by a Zionist who thinks Israel's God's gift to humanity and would never criticize. I mean, we'll literally fire anyone in their organization that criticizes Israel in the wrong way. All right, so hit the join button below or t.com slash join and drive the Israelis crazy by having an actual American media outlet. Hey, this is the top American media outlet in the country. The rest of them work for Israel. All right, let's go to the next story. So the White House is now sending out $500 checks. Oh, that sounds great, doesn't it? No, it's a dirty trick. We're going to explain to you why it's a dirty disgusting trick and how it's robbing Peter to pay Paul except it's robbing Peter to pay Peter. So, John.

Yes, it's a dirty trick in like four intersecting ways. It just gets more and more dishonest, the more you hear it. But yeah, look, you know Donald Trump has one move. I'm going to try to take some government money, set a check to people, put my name on it, and have people think briefly for some reason that I'm a good guy or whatever. And so that's basically what he's doing now, except he's not even intent to just sign the checks like he did back during the pandemic. No, he's attaching one of his screeds to it, part of which reads, for years the Biden administration overcharge you to fund the operation of healthcare.gov. That money belongs to hardworking Americans, not the government, and now I'm returning it to you.

Meanwhile, he wants to increase the military budget by $500 billion a year, but he cares about not wasting your money, definitely. That's a letter that is with every check that is going out to nearly one million Americans, four weeks before the election. It is similar to the ads he's running on mainstream news. It's a campaign advertisement that we are paying for. We're paying for the bureaucracy to do it. We're paying for the checks as well in the same way that we're paying to put his ads up on TV. By the way, it's affecting a very small number of people on the ACA. There are 19.2 million people enrolled in ACA coverage. Less than one million are going to get checks. So it's less than 5%. People who still get premium subsidies aren't eligible.

Bear in mind, there are fewer of those than there used to be because of course he cut a massive amount of funding to these programs. Also, people who live in the mostly blue states that operate their own exchanges, don't even think about it. You're not getting a check. This is going to go almost entirely two red states. Isn't that nice? Texas and Florida have the most residents who will receive money. In Florida, the administration estimates nearly 120,000 people will get a check. check, officials estimate they're about 139,000 in Texas that will get the money.

Now, and to be clear, these are not the $5,000 checks that Trump has promised to send out if and only if the Republicans win in midterms, which will totally happen. That's a thing that's definitely going to be sent out for the price of like $1.3 trillion or whatever. But it is supposed to convince people, oh wait, maybe Trump is good, and on healthcare in particular, maybe he's good. Maybe he's a great guy when it comes to health care. I would love to evaluate his own healthcare plan, but I'm still waiting for it.

I hear we'll have it in two weeks. So anyway, I'm assuming that's where a couple of extra of the layers of deception come up where you're concerned, Jank, where he's making it seem as if he's giving money, you're saving money. But I know we wanted to talk about the one big beautiful bill and all the many cuts that are going to cost people even more money. Yeah, so there's a couple of layers here. First off, on the blue state thing that you mentioned there, imagine there, imagine

if a Democratic president said the red states are getting nothing. Only San Francisco, New York, and all the blue cities and the blue states will get this money. But Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas, you guys get nothing. Not only would Fox News explode, all the media would explode. That's the most outrageous thing that you're supposed to be president of everyone. So for example, if an ally of mine becomes a president and they said, should we not give any benefits to the red states? I'd say, are you out of your mind? They're Americans. You're the president of all of America, not just the blue states. But he does it.

That's like a small part of this story. Nobody's even noting it, right? Like, well, of course, you punish their people who didn't vote for you if you're the president of all of America. That's normal. And punish the Republicans who live in the states that didn't vote. Oh, yeah, by the way, Trump's Republicans live in those states and punish them too. Who cares, right?

And then, all right, so that's a small part. Then we go to, well, where's the $500 coming from? Well, because they cut access to that before. So wait, now you're cutting, and they cut way more than 500, and then you give back a small portion right before the election with a little note say, you're welcome. I mean, think about how obnoxious that is. Somebody comes into your house, steals $2,000 and then comes back the next day, gives you 500 back and goes, you're welcome. Okay, now, by the way, now vote for me to be, you know, the person who keeps this community safe. No, I don't think so.

Okay, now that brings us to the big beautiful bill. The OBB cuts were over a trillion dollars for health programs, the largest rollback of federal support for healthcare in American history. These cuts will result in an estimated 10 million people losing their health insurance coverage. It also speeds up the timeline for when Medicare's trust fund, which pays for hospital care, will become insolvent. Now, that's not all. And adults will need to meet new community engagement mandates, essentially work or training

requirements to keep their Medicaid coverage, more frequent eligibility checks, reduce state funding options, even with these significant cuts to act is projected to add at least $3.4 trillion to the national debt. But wait a minute, I thought we were cutting, why is it adding $3.4 trillion to the debt? That's because they gave massive tax cuts for the wealthy, for corporations, and for all of their donors. Your money has been redistributed to the top. And then as a sick joke at the end, they send you only a million of you, only in red states, $500 as a, now be a good little boy or girl, and let us rob you the next time. And guys, just one part of the bill cuts 1.1 trillion

from Medicaid. So the people who are the neediest and they're sick. And remember, it could be their daughter who's sick, who's three years old or seven year old son is sick? Nope, give me the money. Nope, go, go die in the streets or get sick, I don't care, right? But where did the $1.1 trillion go? Well, that one is actually super clear. Just the tax cut for people making above $500,000 a year was that same exact $1.1 trillion. So they literally stole from the neediest people in the country to give to the people who don't

need it at all. But those guys are donors to the Republican Party to Donald Trump. So they stole from the average American to give to the richest of the rich. That's the sick system that we live under. So, and by the way, yeah, this is Trump. This is the Republicans. And yes, they're 10. I mean, I can't believe anybody's worse than Democrats, but they are by a lot.

Okay. Now, having said that, the job of the Democrats is to come in and go. There's nothing we could do. We won't change anything. We'll just keep things exactly as they are. And then the Republicans come in and move the ball backwards, 50 yards. And the Democrat comes and goes, there's nothing that could do. What am I going to do?

And then by the end, they've transferred about $12 to $17 trillion to the top. This is one of the greatest robberies in human history. Yep. And this one doesn't have any do with foreign policy. Does it have anything do with anything but all these different donor classes, the oil companies, the defense contractors, the pharmaceutical companies, et cetera, have bought all of Congress and all of the media. And so that's why they eat media never talks about money in politics. The media in this country, mainstream media is the most corrupt organization in the world.

Because not only, so the politicians are criminals. They get them literally millions of dollars from these donors. And then they rob the neediest people in the country and give it to the donors. It is an unbelievable heist. So why am I more mad at the media? Because the media sees all that. job is to report it to you. In fact, their main ethos is supposed to be follow the money, right? And they see the money going to the politician's pockets and then out of your pocket because of the

politicians votes into the donor's pockets. Then they go, I don't see it. Well, they follow the money so they can get a little bit of it. Yeah, and in fact, that's exactly what happens. The money that goes to the politicians goes into campaign ads on mainstream media. Yeah. So last cycle, They spent $17 billion, the great majority went to pay off the criminal media so they could cover up the crime. So the reality is Trump is robbing you blind. And if you get one of these checks, understand that you probably paid three or four times more of that earlier. And for those of you who didn't get the checks, yeah, you're just another casualty in American government and media's war against them. American people. Okay, I'm going to do the story because I can't not do it. Let's do the next one.

A Jewish guy named Yeho Natan Ovadia, he's an Orthodox Jew, and he was in a protest against Israel. Guys got a conscious, wonderful, they're going to deport him, and they're calling him an anti-Semite. He's Orthodox Jew. They're like, it doesn't matter, we use anti-Semite to destroy all of Israel's enemies. It doesn't have to make sense, watch, mainstream media will cover our ass. They won't even talk about how absurd this is that we're calling someone an anti-Semite in

deporting them, even though they're deeply religious Jewish individual. Okay, John Phillips is. Exactly, yeah, evidently his feelings don't matter, I guess. So there are some. So that's why when they say, oh, it's all about Jewish feelings there, you have to apologize to all the Jews. No, no, no, 63% of Jewish Americans against the Nant-Yahu government, more by 32 points, when you take favorably unfeivably combined, Jewish-Americans. America support Zoram, Mamdani over Net and Yahoo by 32 points.

But everybody in media, it's not about being Jewish, it's about being a radical Zionist. Since they're all radical Zionists, even when they, Israelis and the government officials in America who are deeply corrupt and work for Israel attack Jewish people, they're like, good, good. You know what, other Jews are offended that you're not attacking those Jews and up. Attack all the Jews who oppose Israel. This has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with nationalism for Israel. And unfortunately, a lot of our media is run by fascists who believe in Israeli nationalism

and is willing to destroy Jews, Christians, Muslims, as long as Israel benefits. Yes. So the background about him that you do need to know is that he's been in the US for the past four years on a work visa as a religious teacher, again, a deeply religious individual. He is part of an ultra-Orthodox Hasidic branch known as Satmar that are opposed to Zionism in the state of Israel on theological grounds. He's actually part of like a subgroup inside of that that are very pro-Palestinian, which you could see in the video that we showed you.

So he was one of two men that were arrested for a protest where a Israeli flag was removed from a New York town hall building. Police had arrested him as well as Alter Goldberger on charges of fourth degree criminal mischief, petty larceny, and sixth degree conspiracy. And the charges were treated as hate crimes. I believe they are both ultra-Orthodox Jewish individuals who arrested for hate crimes against Judaism, I suppose. I guess that's the story here. He claims he didn't tear the flag down, but they were so exhausted from the entire process with law enforcement and the legal process

and all that that they pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct and paid a $200 fine after which the hate crime charges were dropped. He put out a statement back in February of 2024 saying, I said, you know, I don't have power, I'm out of money. I have no time. I am a teacher. I need to teach students every day. Let's end this with disorderly conduct. But that's where the real issue starts because the disorderly conduct charge, much more minor than the ones that had been there, but still a major issue for someone here on a work visa. So when his congregation applied for an extension of his religious worker visa in September of last year, U.S. citizenship and immigration services demanded police records

and court documents related to the demonstration. The agency issued a rare split decision in May, agreeing that he was qualified to continue working in the country, but refused to let him remain in the US to do so, a move that stripped his lawful status and left him vulnerable to arrest, which is what led to his arrest in Manhattan last month at an immigration court. Again, like many immigrants following the exact procedure they're supposed to follow, showing up for their court dates, that is weaponized against them, and they're arrested at their court hearings and then they disappear. So in this case, he was refused, he was not allowed to be released on bail. His lawyers filed a lawsuit. And so they argue

that the Trump administration is retaliating against his protected religious and political speech, which the Trump administration are 100% in favor of as long as they agree with how you're doing it. In this particular case, they don't. So that was no protection whatsoever. And so he He can now be deported back to the country of Israel, which I'm sure is gonna go super easy on him considering the things he said. Yeah, so the first thing that came up for him was Trump's executive order against anti-Semitism. So that's, they use that against them.

I mean, this is Kafkaesque. He's Jewish. This is Alice in Wonderland. It's like what Georgia Orwell was a prophet, right? He said they would say the things that are the exact opposite of the truth, and they would insist on it. That's exactly where we are now. Yeah. 2026 is 1984. They're like, arrest a Jewish guy for being an anti-Semite, okay? Then it's a hate crime. Now look, they did, ran the same playbook on him that they run on non-Jewish people, which is just call an anti-Semite,

arrest him for being an anti-Semite. It doesn't matter that he's not an anti-Semite. None of them are anti-Semites. It doesn't matter. That's just the pretense we use to control Americans and make sure, and non-Americans. Anyone that's in America, to make sure that they're under the boot of Israel, because Israel runs this country. And they don't care about Jewish people. They only care about their fascist nationalism, right? So then they say, okay, you're doing a hate crime. Such a big charge that it makes you plea down because you're worried,

oh my God, am I going to go to prison for 10 years or something for saying, don't kill Palestinians? And so once you agree to any charges, like, that's it. You committed a crime. We're going to deport you. But I would have loved to have seen that trial. You know, I don't blame the brother. he's a good guy, wonderfully moral person.

But they were going to bring him into a courtroom and they say, okay, you committed a hate crime. I would have loved to have been his lawyer. A hate crime against who? Jews. But he's Jewish. Yeah, we don't care. We're just lying. So shut up.

You have to think about the feelings of the flag, Jenk. Yeah, the flag. That's someone else pulled down. But by the way, John, that is perfectly symbolic because Jewish people aren't buying off our politicians. There's a ton of different beliefs within Judaism, including these guys, let alone just secular Jews who have nothing to do with any of this, right? No radical Zionists are buying off our politicians. So to them, Judaism is irrelevant. No, pray and worship the Israeli flag. If you've done something to the Israeli flag, we will punish all Jews, Christians,

Muslims, Americans, non-Americans, we will punish you all. Pray to our flag. And to our nationalism, why? First of what, we're Americans, why would be Israeli nationalist? Again, if the media didn't lie to you, you would all know how absurd that is. If everyone in the country, all the politicians declare for no reason, I'm a Paraguayan Nationalist, I'm a Paraguayan Nationalist, I'm a Paraguayan Nationalist. You'd be like, what the hell's going on here? Right, what did I stumble into?

But our media goes, no, that's normal. It's not normal if they do it for Paraguay. But if they do it for Israel, perfectly normal. But wait, they seem to have taken hundreds of millions of dollars from the Israeli lobby. No, that has nothing to do with it. They were just born Israeli nationalist. And that's why they hate all Jews who are against Israel. They hate all Muslims.

They hate all Christians. They hate all Americans against the beloved Israeli flag. Okay, last things. So then when you ask them, why are you attacking a fellow Jews? They go, he's not a real Jew. Okay, I think that's deeply offensive. But that's okay. If you're Jewish, but you're not a radical Zionist, no one cares about offending you.

In fact, you should be offended, they think. And then they'll get the media to say, of course, not a real Jew. Of course not. Only the radical Zionists count. Hey, can you read a poll? 63% of Jewish Americans are against Netanyahu. And the media goes, no, I don't care. I don't care about Jews.

I use Jews as a prop to destroy opponents of Israel because Jews aren't paying me. Radical Zionists are paying me. Yeah. It is like the perfect distillation of the fact that this, entire issue and all of it is religion and political ideology that have been mixed up. In this case you have a guy who has the religion that's supposed to be the right one who disagrees with their political objectives. And he goes down for that, making it very clear that it is not about the religion.

It's just about the political ideology. You're like you don't have to be that religion as long as you agree with the political ideology. You are elevated above the person who has the genuine religious values. values here, it is just so dishonest how they pretend that it's about the one thing when it is 100% about the other. Because if they told you, hey, we all sold out to a foreign nation because we got paid, you'd be pretty angry.

But instead, if they tell you we're protecting a religious minority, well, that sounds like a good and moral thing to do. And then you go, oh, okay, you're protecting a religious minority, we're liberals, we love that, right? So what do you, oh, so are you gonna protect this guy? No, no, we're gonna destroy his life. I thought you were protecting a religious minor? No, no, no, we're just using that as an excuse.

We're destroying anyone who doesn't agree to Israeli nationalism. Why? Because I get paid millions of dollars by the Israeli nationalists. Yeah. Gee, that was complicated, really hard to figure out. Oh, right, the people in the media can't figure it out, because they're the ones getting paid by the radical Zionists to lie to all Americans and pretend this has to do with religion. Then why don't you let this brother go?

No, okay, now the final irony, where are they deporting him? Israel. You're such an anti-Semite, we're deporting you to Israel. I'm actually surprised that Trump administration is deporting a person to at least a country. They have some relationship too. Usually they just like throw a dart at a map. Yeah. No, this is nothing to do with religion.

It has nothing to do with protecting anyone. It has everything to do to make sure that you don't find out that all of your money and all of your military is being used by a fascist government that has paid off our government and our media and brilliantly captured the most. powerful country in the world, the biggest military ever built, and the wealthiest nation, all directed to help not us. That's why no laws ever passed that help us, ever, ever, but nonstop laws to help Israel. Can't protest them, you can't do a boycott or sanction of them, you can't do freedom

of speech against them, you can't protest going to war on their behalf. You can't investigate the killings in the West Bank. You can't, they voted, guys, I mean, if we haven't jumped the shark, I mean, the last two things that happened, McLemore says free Palestine, they're like, how dare you have, want to give freedom to any human being that isn't Israeli? Punish him. And they do. And they do. Oh, that's perfectly normal.

That's not normal. That's what fascists do. Okay. Then this guy, I mean, oh, not just this guy. The Senate vote that John's talking about. Okay, so Chris Van Hollen and Bernie Sanders say, can we please investigate nine Americans that have been murdered in Israel, by the way, by the Israeli government or by Israeli settlers in the last three years?

They voted down. No, no one's been arrested. And Israel says, you stupid, lowly Americans, yeah, we murdered your citizens. No, we didn't arrest anyone, nor are we going to. We're not even going to investigate any of those crimes. And if you come here, we get to murder you too, because we're above the law. And then Congress votes on it and the Senate says, yes, that's true. They are above the law, we will not even allow an investigation.

This is not normal. This is how an occupied country behaves. Free Palestine, but also free America, because we are completely occupied not just by the government, by a deeply evil media that works for the same. foreign nation. Okay, I hope I was clear enough. All right, John, thank you, brother. Damage report. One o'clock Easter, Monday through Friday. We've got a whole other hour coming up for you guys. We'll be right back. What contributions to the progressive cause are you most proud of?

I mean, I don't have super high aspirations for a singular role that I can play in the movement or anything. I just, I try to present myself as what I think that I am, which is, is a progressive man who is driven by a, I think, well interrogated and well organized system of values that I try to stay consistent on. And I demonstrate that that's the sort of life that a person can lead and be successful and be happy and all of that. And that should not need to be done, but there are so many people on the right that are trying to push men in the opposite direction that I want to be able to do that.

Along the way, if I can get people to care about some topics that they wouldn't necessarily care about or that for some men might they might think that's not a topic that they should be focused on. That's definitely something that I that I relish doing. And along the way, I mean, we've been able to introduce people to a lot of candidates. That's been a big part of what we've done. You know, not all of them necessarily got in office. Probably most of them did not. And a lot of them, you might not even remember their names. But it was great to be able to provide people the platform where they had the chance of, you know, making a difference. Obviously, AOC and all that. But there's been a lot of great people along the way.

In the bonus episode for the members, we do some inside baseball. We're going to look at John's desk. Nice little spaceship here. Nerd. But it is kind of look cool. Who has LEGOs? Oh, no. He's taken apart a keyboard. Who has a mouse pad that's this big? He's got a dog with a nose that you can hang something like. You know what this desk screams to me? Nerd. And that's how we like. We love Johnny Pye. He's got his own personality like everybody does at TYT. Come meet us all in the bonus episodes. TYT.com slash team. David Soror, I need a turn.

Is Adam Green Drop by? Charlamine. It's been great to have you. It's great to be with you, your show is a great thing. You're informing people. A lot of the shows that I live on, you know, my CNN and my MSNBC and even Fox and any of the other shows, MPR. They are so quick to decide that they know what this building means today. The one thing that I hate that politicians do, you know, they talk.

They talk about the people they should be talking to. Do they have any idea that they're their establishment and that they're hated? Or do they not realize that at all? People are so deeply in their little universe. I think it's very easy to not really question what you're doing. Voters have a right to ask questions of any nominee, whether they're independent, Republican, or Democrat. This system is monopoly that suppresses competition.

How is it the year 2024? And we're still like, maybe they'll talk about pain medical? How is that like at one level, it's like, good, what we're talking about. And you're like, it's 2024. And that's always been the critique, that your critique of us is, well, you guys give good speeches, you put out good tweets, but you're not wielding actual power. Now we're starting to. My favorite news platform by far. It's not even close.

It's about a country and a principle. And that's what you and I both work to achieve. And I'm so glad that at least half the battle has now been one. If you want to go really hear what's going on honestly, you should tune in to the young turks. Thanks for doing. Such a great job. Please keep it up. Hang tough. Yeah. That makes me so happy.

you get to meet with him and probably get all sorts of goodies. But it's not like he's selling out when he's the president. Oh, right, he is the president right now, and he's running that scam right now. But at least his campaign country, oh no, it goes straight. straight into his pocket. Oh, okay, Elliot, tell us all about it. I mean, get excited, folks. This is really incredible.

So here's the deal with the contest began this week, and it runs through November 12th, according to the site. And here is a look at the web page. Yeah, so that looks great. I don't know why his head is so small. Besides that, it looks super normal, very natural. We actually have, I think, a closer photo as well, just highlighting how majestic and how together he seems. It's really wonderful. And so on the front page of get trumpmeans.com,

the president is promising invitations to an evening with three legends and the president. Those legends have not been released yet. Also, it's worth noting that the number of legends promised did drop from four to three on Wednesday. So the winners will be chosen based on a formula that seems designed in part to increase sales of Trump in the next few in the next two months. The competition which began Wednesday represents a new opportunity to personally enrich the president in what good government experts have deemed an unprecedented conflict of interest. But hey, there are prizes for everyone, folks. So the top 185 holders get seats for the dinner.

Top 29 holders get a special VIP reception. And the top four will receive an 18-carat Trump-branded gold watch. So score and also attendees will receive a Trump fragrance commemorative poster, Trump trading card and fight, fight, fight, Trump watch. God only knows what the Trump fragrance smells like given how people in his immediate vicinity react to him. Now however, according to the small print, no attendees will be granted a private meet and greet with the president.

It also says that no gifts will be accepted for entry. The site also offer tickets to the Super Bowl and the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix, but No chit chat with the president in case your hopes are getting super high right now. But the whole point of all of this is to increase sales for Trump's coin over the next two months. And this is not Trump's first crypto rodeo back in 2025. The top 220 holders of the looks like Trump meme coin were invited to a black tie dinner at Trump's golf club outside Washington, D.C. In May 2025, with those in the room having contributed millions in investment in his crypto token, the 25, the 25 biggest invest. also got access to a small VIP reception with the president.

Trump has made over $1 billion from his crypto portfolio, which he launched shortly before taking, retaking office in January 2025. Trump has often claimed his two sons take care of all of that family financial endeavor stuff, aka the schemes and the grifts, but they're not very good at it, apparently. Investors in those products have been less fortunate. A report from the watchdog public citizen recently tallied investors had racked up $4.7 billion in paper losses on Trump crypto assets managed by the president's quote unquote adult sons. Meme coins also just by their very nature often flop.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last year wrote that meme coins have a failure rate exceeding 90% for new tokens. But that is not stopping Trump's most loyal fans. God bless him, Nick Pinto, a 26-year-old crypto investor, said he invested $450,000 in the Trump meme coin, and the value of his investments is down to roughly 50 grand. He said he was disappointed by the first dinner last year, as Trump was there for no more than 20 minutes and did not take photos with the crypto holders. The steak was only five ounces and, quote, not something you'd get as a steakhouse in New York. Pinto plans still on attending the exclusive dinner, but also stated, I hope the food is better this time.

So, Jank, excuse me, what are your thoughts here? Yeah, so let's get into all the issues. First, let's start out fun. So they had to drop from four legends to three. Think about that guys, he's the president of the United States and he can't get the fourth person to show up because it's such a scam. They're like, oh man, I mean, I want to show up and I'm MAGA and I'm, and I'm, I'm, you But I we're robbing them too much.

I'm sorry, I'm gonna bail. Might not be a good look. Yeah, and so publicly they have to go from four to three. That's unbelievable. Number two, I wanna show that close up picture one more time. So like this is Trump's dream of what he looks like. And so obviously he's younger. So let's put up the bigger picture of Trump.

And he's obviously much thinner. I get it, my profile pick on X is photoshopped and his nonsense. It looks much thinner in the picture. So I don't blame him and it's just AI or whatever it is, no problem. But I noticed something else, put it up again. His hand is so big. Since he's so defensive about his small hands, remember Marco Rubio made fun of his small hands. So they had his hand be gigantic here.

Okay, this guy is such a pathetic narcissist. It's unreal. And then all the millions of people feed into this narcissism with their money too, which is the important part which I'm gonna get to in a second. But a five ounce steak, you're paying all that money. This guy's robbed your blind or you're not paying him so that you get favors from the US taxpayers, not from him, right? That's the most important part, we're gonna get to it then.

And all you get is a five ounce steak. Like that's, Trump is so cheap. Like he just doesn't want to spend any money at all on any other human being that isn't him. He's sitting on over $400 million in cash in his super pack. And he won't spend it on the Republicans in the midterms as they're getting slaughtered. He's like, why would I spend it on them? I'll find a way to spend it on me after I leave office. Campaign contribution, sure, sure, sure, okay?

No, I'll funnel the money to money to pay. myself and I'll let the other Republicans die. Who cares? Politically. So now let's look at the scam guys. So first of all, there's the guys he's scamming with the crypto. Then there's the American taxpayers he's scamming. So on the crypto, 750,000 Americans lost money on his crypto scams. But 58 people made over $10 million. Do you think those 58 got lucky? No, they're insiders. They're people who greased Trump. So they got to buy when the meme coin was at $70, or they got to buy it when it was at $2,

they sold it at $70, and guess what? It's back down to $2. So when they sold it at 70, they made tons of money, but there was only 58 of them. They had to make it from someone, so they stole it from the 750,000 most loyal fans of Donald Trump. What a con man does is gain the confidence, not of his enemies, but of people close to him and then betrays them. He's not conning us. He's conning his own voters.

And he's doing it for spectacular payout. As Elliot just read to you, people overall lost $4.7 billion, but he made a billion. And a lot of his connected super rich friends got even richer because that money went somewhere. It went out of the pockets of the middle class Americans who made the mistake of trusting Donald Trump. and he went into the pockets of the richest people in the country who scheme with Trump to rob his own supporters. So that's the kind of person Donald Trump is. Now finally, the most important part is about us, the taxpayers. So what's happening at this dinner, guys?

They go and they go, hey, I just put in whatever the number is, a million into your meme coin. I just put in 500,000, 2 million. Now, do you think they're going to ask for something back? Do you think it's a picture? No, they're gonna ask for our money back. They're gonna want a contract with the Defense Department or this department or that department. And guess what? They're all gonna get them.

And some of them wanna get out of jail because they were up on charges of fraud that happened earlier, many of them. They all want some sort of goody from us. And Trump doesn't have to go into his own pocket for that. He gets paid and then he takes our money and pays off the people who are bribing him. And in the past, the bribery was legalized. of campaign contributions, now this is going straight into his pocket. So he's robbing you to pay these guys so that these guys pay him.

It's as much, it's as clear a bribe as it gets, but there are no rules or laws left in this country, so he'll totally get away with it. Yeah, and it's also, I think, a microcosm for what this administration has been doing for the past year. If you look at the health care, the people getting kicked off of that, the way that they're taking money from SNAP and Medicare, and then just hand. it to families making over $500,000. This is him doing that on a personal level, just taking money from his own followers.

And rather than give it to families that are making over 500,000, he's giving it directly to himself. And also doesn't even have the decency to show up for more than 20 minutes. So people don't feel like they're getting their money's worth in any way. And I also think it's very easy to make fun of the folks who are duped by this. And don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of that because I think there's a little bit of mockery that's due here, but Trump has made his brand off of like speaking to the every man and speaking to the every person and saying, I understand your plight, I understand, I'm not like these other

elites. And then he turns around and does this time and time again. And they seem to be glutton's for punishment because like that Pinto guy is just going like, no, I'm still going to do it, but I hope the steak is the food's a little better. It's not going to be because if the guy isn't spending money to even help out Republicans during the midterms, he's definitely not going to spend the money, I imagine on like higher quality steak. Unless of course that story ends up making him look bad, in which case he'll only be buying better steak to make himself look good. It's really incredible for a guy who prides himself on opulence to turn around and just cheap

out everyone who supports him in any way. It's amazing, really. Yep, all right, you know what, let's stay here, let's do one more story, okay? Let's go to the next one. So Krista Pike was set to be executed. First of all, that's the problem in and of itself, but then it got way worse. So they did lethal injection, except she didn't die. Then they did lethal injection again, and she still didn't die.

Now I'llie's got the rest of the story. Yeah, so a little bit of background information here in Tennessee on Wednesday, 50-year-old Krista Pike survived two doses of lethal injection. Pike was convicted of and admitted to the 1995 murder of her classmate, Colleen Slamer, who she saw as a love rival back then. Pike was 18 at the time. She would have been the first woman executed in Tennessee in over 200 years, had it gone according to plan.

She's currently in critical condition and it's unclear whether or not she suffered brain damage as a result of this botched execution. This is also the second botched execution in Tennessee this year. The death penalty information center, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization, said Pike was the first person in the history of capital punishment to survive as a after being injected with lethal drugs. Robin M. Marr at the death penalty information center said in a statement, this failed attempt is the worst we've ever seen and unlike any other botched execution

in the modern era. What happened to Krista Pike can be attributed to the extreme secrecy. Tennessee officials have maintained about their execution procedures, their refusal to answer reasonable questions, and their unwillingness to accept responsibility for their mistakes. So while Pike's defense team does not dispute that she is guilty, they have insisted that the jury was never made fully aware of the extent of the physical and sexual abuse that she endured throughout her life.

A lawyer for Pike described Wednesday's ordeal as cruel and torturous. And following the second botched execution in Tennessee, Republican Governor Bill Lee has called off executions for the remainder of the year, saying this should not have happened, but also that the people of Tennessee have determined that the death penalty is the appropriate penalty for the most heinous crimes in the state. Republican Senator Marcia Blackburn, who hopes to replace Lee, agreed, but also suggested that the state bring back the electric chair. Her Democratic opponent, Jerry Green, said on X, the fact of the matter is the death penalty

has always been inhumane, expensive, and biased, and Marsha Blackburn wants to bring back one of the most cruel forms of capital punishment, the electric chair. As a public defender, I've met a few too many people who were wrongful. convicted on death row who were later exonerated. As governor opened a moratorium on all future executions, if we say we are pro-life, that means we must be anti-death penalty. Seems to make sense to me. A landmark study also by the National Academy of Sciences found that conservatively speaking, 4.1% of people on death row are believed to be innocent, but that has not stopped folks from voicing their hot takes on what the best way is that the state should execute.

people. Here is Greg Kelly over at Newsmax. What do you mean about the firing squad? You can't really screw that up. All right? They come in, they strap the dude to the chair, they blindfold him. They have trained marksmen, you know, law enforcement officers. Law enforcement officers don't use injections very often, so it could be screwed up. But they know how to shoot And they aim at the heart, which is very critical here. You want to aim at the heart. That's the most humane way to do this. This gets screwed up all the time, the lethal injection, the firing squad,

looks like it's more humane and effective. They just strapped the dude to the chair. So also ever the comedian Michael Knowles over at the Daily Wire said on X, Have the state executioners considered taking Krista Pike to the woods and crushing her skull with a rock? But don't worry, Michael Knowles followed that up with a quick ha-ha-j-K, writing jokes and potential sabotage aside. There is an argument for interpreting this as Providence. We'll discuss on today's show. The majority of executions in the United States for 2025 were carried out via lethal injection.

However, three were carried out via firing squad, and five were carried out by. nitrogen inhalation, which United States or excuse me, United Nations experts have described as state sanctioned torture. And Amnesty International said in a statement on Thursday, as the death penalty continues to decline around the world, the United States remains increasingly isolated. It is long past time for Tennessee and the United States to stop executing people under the guise of justice and banish this cruel punishment to the history books. So as for how divisive the death penalty is currently in the United States, Kate Bartlett at NPR wrote, the 1960s were the last time approval for the death penalty dropped below 50%. Approval was at its highest in the mid-1990s, but has dropped again since with 52% of respondents,

saying they favor the death penalty in 2025. That was based on Gallup polls. So a lot to unpack here, Jank, what are your thoughts? Yeah, so I might surprise you here, But let me explain why it was for the death penalty in the context of this story. And then why I'm now against the death penalty. So this woman killed an 18 year old girl, right? So around the same age, I'm not sure she was 18, but in that ballpark, a teenager. So she never gets to come back. So I care deeply about justice.

So her life ended a long, long time ago. So that makes me irate. And I just believe in serving. justice, I do, and that's why I was for the death penalty for a long time. So why did I switch? Because we found out we were killing the wrong people. That's pretty relevant. So Elliot told you's 4%. We've released dozens of people from death were totally to the wrong people, and we were going to murder them. We, the American people, were going to murder people who didn't do it. Now, we know through all those cases that about 4% of the time we got the wrong person.

Now you might say 4% is not that bad. Okay, on the other hand, we have 2,000 people on death row right now, about 2,000. That means 80 of them are innocent, but we're going to kill them anyway. No, I can't. That's the biggest injustice there is. I can't stomach that kind of injustice. And it's not like the alternative is letting them go. The alternative is life in prison.

So in this case, Christa Pike, you know, what a terrible thing to do. because she had your got your boyfriend or something, you killed her and her parents can never see her again on and on, right? She was also a teenager though. Krista Pike was 18 years old. So you want to put her in prison for the rest of her life for taking that other life? And you might judge me for this, but I think that that makes sense. And so don't take a life. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison, I got an easy way to avoid that. Don't take a life. Now, at the same time, a teenager does this and we all know, I know I was way dumber when I was 18, okay, much more emotional, much more reactive, believe it or not, even sometimes

angry than you see me today. So, so we're gonna kill her for that. We're gonna kill her for something she did when she was a teenager. Now the second problem is how torturous this all is. And that's why the Michael Knows and the Greg Kelly and all that stuff and Marshall Blackburn is so relevant. Because I started thinking about it, well, what's the most humane way to kill someone? I'm like, if you're being honest, probably a gun straight to their temple, shoot them in the head, and they die immediately.

Are we really going to do that as a state, as a government, as a collective society? We're authorizing people to go and shoot them in the head or maybe what, cut their arteries and watch them bleed out. or do some chemical compound that where they writhe in pain until they die unless they don't like Krista Pike and and now what are we gonna do? Let's say that she's in a coma. Let's say that she has brain damage. Are we gonna pull the plug? No, we can't pull the plug.

Are we gonna go back and strap her into her gurney even if she has brain damage and kill her anyway? No, this is not right. No, I was wrong earlier, not just on the fact that there are people who are innocent. who get killed. But as a society, we shouldn't sink to this level. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't be tough. It doesn't mean we shouldn't bring justice. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't create massive disincentives to take other people's lives. But a lifetime in prison is a massive disincentive. We don't need the extra cruelty on top. And if you're not willing to do it, then the state shouldn't do it. Because the state is a collection theoretically of all of us.

That's our community and we vote and we say do this or don't do this. If you're not willing to go bludging someone to death, then don't make the rest of us do it. So no, this is a good example of why this is totally wrong. We gotta go stop the death penalty. It doesn't mean that you can't have very significant punishment. But this is not the right way to do it. This is not American in my opinion. 100% agree.

And I also, yeah, I grew up being very pro death penalty and then you hear people, well, what if it was your family? And, you know, if it was in their shoes, wouldn't you want this to happen? And it's like, yeah, I think that's the case. Like if someone were to kill a loved one of mine, I would want them to have the death penalty, which is also part of the reason I think we should not have the death penalty because we shouldn't have a legal system that is based on other people's feelings. But also the 4.1% that that study talked about is a conservative estimate. The actual number is probably much higher. And I think when you look at the numbers when it comes to the death penalty, it's really difficult.

difficult to justify it unless you twist yourself into pretzels and convince yourself that this is somehow justified to give the state that level of moral authority. I just don't happen to agree with that. Also, Pike suffered an immense amount of abuse. And her lawyers, I think, have been very clear and shown that the jury was unaware of the extent of that abuse. So you're talking about someone, and I'm not excusing her crime here, but you're talking about someone who was failed by the system throughout her entire life and had suffered under the authority of parents who ignored her, who abused her, neighbors. who abused her. And I think that is a situation where you're not dealing with pure and abject evil, you're dealing with someone who is incredibly hurt. And so the system failed her throughout her life. And I think the system failed her finally on Wednesday to a degree that is really inexcusable. And there does seem to be a kind of bloodlust, I think, in this country. And I don't

know what it says about the, not to go all poetic, but whatever it says about the soul of our country, when people are so excited, almost giddy about the idea of capital punishment. I think that says something a little darker than what any study might actually show. So it's a horribly tragic situation. Yeah, last two things here. So now look, at this point, because we don't want her to be killed in these weird, torturous ways, now all of a sudden we're saying things that make her sound more sympathetic. Whereas if you just put her life in prison, then no one would have been sympathetic to her.

She killed someone, took their life when they were a teenager, if I'm the parents there, I want her in prison forever and I don't want anybody to have sympathy for her, et cetera. But now because the state is bludgeoning her, now all of a sudden the sympathy is on her side. So there's just no wins at all here. And finally, look guys, when I was a kid, I thought cops and prosecutors were the good guys and they always did the right thing. That's intensely naive. Now that I'm a grown up and I've covered the news, are there good guy cops and prosecutors?

Of course, right? Tons of them. Are there also some bad guy cops and prosecutors who make up evidence and who hide evidence and who just want to win or who just want to solve a case and improve their record? And they're willing to put the bad guys away? I couldn't even believe that as a kid that somebody would take someone's life just because they wanted their prosecutorial record to be a little bit better. Their winning percentage to be a little bit better. Or they just wanted to get rid of a case quicker. But it turns out of it. Yes, that happens a lot. And in a society, that imperfect where we do that, we cannot take people's lives away based on that. All right, let's take a quick break here. When we come back,

Elon Musk is back in the White House. Great. We have got to be pumped up. We are winning in Iran. All right, guys, I barely read any of your comments today because I'm such a, you know, on a war path here. Anyway, ex-Septany Murphy says, thank you, Jane, for all your work. I'm a former Trump supporter, by the way. That's awesome, Stephanie. Thank you. Appreciate it. So now let's go to Super Chat, DJ Payne, right, saying the good fight is always harder than to be corrupt and compromised.

That's why United We Stand. I'd rather be on the right in good side of history, fight the good fight, young Turks. Thank you. You know, look, there's some chance that they get us at the end, right? That they cut off our money in enough ways that we go under. But if they do, after, you know, being around for 24, 25 years, I'll be intensely proud. We fought the biggest, baddest giant in the world. And even if that giant gets us, at least we had the courage to fight him.

At least we were free Americans. I feel sorry for the rest of the mainstream media who have to be servants of a foreign nation. And just for money, they lie to everyone and deceive them. And did you betray their own viewers who trusted them, betrays their own readers that trusted them? I wouldn't want that fate for any money. In Liberty and Guns We Trust said, saw a video of a little girl in Gaza, burry her kitten who died of malnutrition. She pulled it out of a bag, buried in the dirt, put a rock headstone, and laid it. laid little flowers on top of its grave.

I'll never forget it. So that particular viewer is conservative, I know from previous comments. And the right wing used to be totally in favor of Israel until they found out that hey, mainstream media didn't just lie to you about Democrats or other things. They lie to you all the time. And the number one thing they lied to you about was Israel. Once you find out what Israel is actually doing, nobody supports them. All right, back on TYT, Jank and Elliot with you guys.

Nice, just quick comment here from one of our members on YouTube. Super Morty Man wrote in, I regret ever being a Zionist. Listen brother, I appreciate you so much. I just told you a story about how I changed my view on the death penalty. Thank you for having an open mind and for being a wonderful, decent, moral person and changing from that. Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism. It is an extreme form of nationalism that unfortunately has, you know, entered that ethnic

group as fascism entered the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians, and the Spanish. It has nothing to do with race or religion. It's unfortunately a thing that happens to humans. And so, and by the way, as I've told you before, the Zionist broke the anti-Nazi boycott and other Jewish groups were furious with them because they've always been fascist. So now if you're a Zionist today, that doesn't mean you're a fascist. You got taught a whole bunch of things like probably this brother did, right? That weren't true. Once you find out what the truth is, yeah, go back to Judaism.

Stop believing this false religion of nationalism. That it has nothing to do with your faith. Okay, and just real quick word from our sponsors and then we'll do the last story. So you know Noble Mobile is our sponsor, we talk about it all the time. That's Andrew Young's cell phone service company. I'm on it, I love it. And guys, it's just, I've saved hundreds of dollars. So we try to find sponsors that actually help you in your life.

So t.t.com slash switch. Swear to you nothing on your phone changes. T-Mobile's 5G system. My phone worked great everywhere, including foreign nations. So, and now they're giving you a great discount. First month's 10, only $10, okay? And so I usually pay in the 30s. It's so much more inexpensive.

And I can't find a reason not to do it. So save yourself a lot of money. t-y-t.com slash switch. Okay, let's go to the next one. That's why today, at my direction, I'm announcing Project Meridian, an effort led by America's best minds to study the future of warfare. Project Meridian will be co-led by three of our nation's best minds. Elon Musk, Palmer Lucky, and Newt Gingrich, all of whom are up in the audience with us today.

Please stand if you would. Project Meridian, another program to rob us blind. Elon Musk has gotten an unbelievable amount of money from the government, meaning U.S. taxpayers. Gee, I wonder if he'll direct more contracts towards himself. The robbery continues. Elliot, tell us all about it. Yeah, the announcement was made during Hegsith's State of the Force address on Tuesday,

A defense department press release on the effort described its goal as identifying the capabilities required to achieve absolute technological dominance on the next generation battlefield. The project will run for 120 days and culminate in an unclassified public report of its recommendations. The project intends to look at how the US military can utilize new technology and also carry out warfare and untested terrains, including subterranean depths and on the moon, the Defense Department stated in its release. According to Heggzeth in a memo, we are witnessing rapid advances in artificial intelligence,

autonomy, directed energy, robotics, biotechnology, among other critical high-tech areas. Combine these new domains, new ways of fighting, and technological developments will profoundly alter the character of warfare. To maintain global dominance, the United States must anticipate future operational environments and act decisively to develop the tools to dominate in them. As Hegsz stated in the cold open, the project will be run by. by Musk alongside Palmer, Lucky, the CEO of Defense Tech Company and Dural, and Newt Gingrich, who is apparently still alive, the former Republican Speaker of the House.

Lucky and Musk both have a long list of Defense Department contracts for their companies, which means both have received a lot of money from the government, i.e., a lot of taxpayer dollars. According to the Washington Post, back in February, over the years, Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits, in critical moments. The total amount is probably larger. This analysis includes only publicly available contracts, omitting classified defense and intelligence work for the federal government.

Government contracts to SpaceX, which is his rocket business and Starlink from NASA, and the Defense Department make up the majority of the funds with $14.9 billion coming from NASA and another $7.6 billion coming from the Defense Department. Palmer Lucky, who's also a major Republican fundraiser go figure, has also made billions through Pentagon contracts. Anderle launched just nine years ago as emerged as a major military contractor for the Trump administration,

working on contracts for everything from drones to autonomous jet fighters to space-based interceptors. In March, the U.S. Army awarded a $20 billion sole source contract to Anderl for a variety of drones at sells, though it is not clear which of its weapons systems are operational

or have been deployed for combat in U.S. operations. Additionally, though it is not widely known as a space contractor announced in May it would work with a team of other companies on what may be the mother of all contracting opportunities offered by the Trump administration. The so-called Golden Dome anti-missile space-based interceptor effort. Estimates for the Golden Dome range between $185 billion and $1.2 trillion. And then there's, of course, Newt Gingrich, who is sort of like a curveball in this whole situation.

Gingrich was appointed as a member of the Defense Policy Board in December 2020. during the first Trump administration, but was dismissed less than three months later after Joe Biden became president. Going back to the 1990s, he was been warning about the threat of an electromagnetic pulse attack that could knock out U.S. power grids. Excuse me, but really, the issue is ultimately with Musk and Lucky because their extreme conflicts of interest could threaten the integrity of the department. The Pentagon said in a statement that the project would be led by MITR, a nonprofit that manages federally funded research centers, with the added assistance of Emil Michael,

the Pentagon's chief technology officer. The nonprofit, the statement said, will be responsible for the analysis and recommendations and apply, quote, appropriate conflict of interest and information safeguards. Officials, however, are a little bit skeptical. The duo could help produce some good ideas, officials said, but they could also end up delaying future Pentagon projects if other companies can prove their commission role as skewed contracts to favor their firms. I'd hate to be an Andrel or SpaceX competitor when Palmer and Elon are the ones deciding

where the money needs to go. So, Jank, thoughts. Yeah, so look guys, he is one of the people who is buying for defense contracts. Now he's getting to decide who gets the defense contracts. If you can't see that that's a conflict of interest, you've got to go to an optometrist and get your eyes checked. Like, it can't be a bigger conflict of interest. And so, but I mean, to be fair, has Elon ever taken any money from the government? I know that Doge was here to say, oh.

Ellie just read it to you, $38 billion. And they're like, oh, he's such a genius. Well, if the government gave me $38 billion, that'd look like a genius too. Okay, and look, mind you that some people can get $38 billion, not million, billion, and still blow it, not make a good product, et cetera. So some of Elon Musk's products are utter crap, but some are pretty good. Starlink's good, SpaceX does some interesting things. We're a fair show, so when he has interesting good products, he says, okay, nice.

Could I build some of those products if I got $38 billion or some of you? Maybe, maybe not, but it would have been nice to try, but none of us got $38 billion. He did. Now wait, they couldn't find any waste, fraud, and abuse in the government. How about the $38 billion we gave you? No, no, no, no, no. Giving that amount of money to the richest man in the world, wait a minute, why does the richest man in the world need our money?

Remember guys, that's taxpayer money. And since we're out of money, we're 40 trillion in debt. We borrow from Japan and China to pay Elon Musk the world's richest man. Are you beginning to see the bribery? Like, oh, how did you get so rich? Remember, he wasn't always this rich. He started getting these government subsidies and loans and all those things in the beginning and throughout.

Well, that might be part of the answer, right? And but even now, he's like, oh, I'm worth a trillion dollars. Bob and Susie in Missouri, give me your money. I mean, we talked about this in the context of Israel, but it's true, I keep telling you, that Israel's the tip of the iceberg. The iceberg is all of the corruption, all of the money in politics. If you have a trillion dollars, what do you need our money for? But he's going back into the government.

And remember when Elon Musk and Donald Trump fought, right? And Elon even said, oh, he's in the Epstein Files Trump is and got all, you know, dramatic there for a minute. I love that episode. Yeah, exactly. Now they're back together because Elon's like, fine, I'll, you know, do the bribes to the Republican politicians and help you guys with the midterms and I'll do this and that for you guys and I'll grease Donald Trump.

And Trump's like, fine, you're back in and you get to decide who gets sold a contract. So you do, of course, no problem. And here we go back into the previously scheduled robbery. And by the way, at Doge, they also couldn't find the $35 billion in oil subsidies that we give away every year? Why are the richest companies in the world getting $35 billion from us? Again, you live in Missouri or Nebraska or wherever you are, Rhode Highland, and you're having trouble paying the rent or the mortgage, they're taking money from you and giving

it to Elon Musk and giving it to the CEO of ExxonMobil. This is a robbery. The beginning of Pulp Fiction is running on a loop in Washington, but not as like a warning, a how to manual. Like, they get up on the table, this is a robbery, right? And on every single issue, then Israel robs us, and then the pharmaceutical companies rob us even more than all the rest of them. So, but why is Newt Gingrich in here?

We get why lucky and, I mean, this is what a great name for a guy, hey, I just got lucky. I happened to give money to politicians, and then they put me in a position where I can get a lot more money back from the taxpayers. That's why they call me lucky. Okay, but what's Newt Gingrich doing in that? Newt Gingrich is part of these super old politicians in D.C. That have brought return on investment for the entire donor class, but particularly Israel. So Newt's in there to make sure that if the American military is doing anything,

that Israel gets to find out the technology of it, it's directed towards the benefit of Israel, etc. So whatever they come up with there, Newt will make sure that that gets, to his benefactors in Israel. Yeah, also, I mean, going back to Doge for a second, which was, less we forget, called the Department of Government Efficiency. And speaking of, like, screwing over the American people, they also went after the IRS, which spends about a nickel for every dollar it brings in.

So I don't know why you would go after them. If you're trying to increase efficiency for every $1 that's invested to the IRS, they bring in six more dollars. So, again, seems very efficient. And the reason they bring in $6 is because it allows them to go after billionaires and corporations which can tie up the IRS and like, you know, legal obstacle courses basically. And so must comes through cuts the IRS, making it more difficult for them to go after big whales and forcing them instead to go after everyday people.

Then you also have the USAID cuts, God knows how many people are going to suffer and or die as a result of that as well. And so now again, we're having the same guy come in along with all these other bozos to wreak, God knows what kind of havoc. And it just, it is, I think like the opening scene of Pulp Fiction. The only difference is that a lot of people are just willingly handing over their cash at this point because they've drank whatever Kool-Aid that these people have to offered. In the beginning of Trump's term, Trump gave $13 billion to Israel keep committing a genocide.

Is that efficient? Oh, okay, yeah. We couldn't find a better way to spend $13 billion other than murdering Palestinian kids. And it wasn't, we just did two billion dollars again so that they could buy, 2.8 billion. So they could buy bombs that are made using tax. So 2.8 billion, okay, I'm understanding. Yeah, yeah. It's like a loop. It's a nonstop robbery. That's the robbery. All right, revolution is next. All right, welcome the revolution, guys. So I did a lot of ranting on the young church today. So maybe a little less tonight, doubt it.

Okay, first, let me give you positive updates. So, you know, We do Operation Hope and folks have been setting up their own ideas and some of our collective ideas and I wanted to give you good news about him. So there's a group called the 75, they hatch this on their own, but they do use Operation Hope volunteers and it came out of that project. And I love it. They're proposing a constitutional amendment to restore the authority of Congress and state legislators to set reasonable rules about how money is raised and spent in elections.

That's beautiful. It's very similar to Wolfpack, but a little bit of a twist. They've got a new website, so I want you to go check it out. The75.us, that's the, and then the number 75. It's launched. A key feature of the site is the amendment tracker, a data visualization tool. And so I love it. Let's go get money out of politics. And thank you for being part of the solution. I love anyone who's trying to make a difference and Operation Hope is filled with that. So Corruptionwatch.us is something that we all came up with together.

You guys named it in a poll we did on t.com. And now the site is complete. That's amazing. So what users can do is they can go to Corruptionwatch.us and they can search all current potential 2028 presidential candidates, for example, Ted Cruz that you're seeing on the screen there. It shows where the candidates get their money and how they have voted tying the money to the votes. I love it. So I'm going to start using it going forward, and I want to see what amazing results we can get from that.

So this is a thing that journalists should have done if there are, you know, I know there's some journalists left. Independent journalists are amazing. DropSight News, Guardian, Intercept and others have been doing terrific work. But mainstream media reporters, you know, their job is to bury things like this. They don't want you to find out about the bribery. They don't want you to find out that all of our politicians are scum who get bribed and then betray you and steal your money and give it to their donors. So they're like, follow the money, no, don't follow the money.

Whatever you do, do not follow the money, then you'll find out all the criminals in DC, including us. Yeah, I know, I know. I wonder, this is a random aside here, I wonder if I'll ever get the Hassan Piker treatment, right? So the press, if you're, you know, if you're correct like we are, they try to avoid you like the plague. Now that's why they were banned, they never let us on, and as on cable news, etc. And but one in these days, if it's unavoidable, then we might get into a class.

And then they'll take all my angry diatribes and they'll look at this. Can you believe he's saying this and this and this and when all of us in the press are angels and we're like the greatest people and the politicians are wonderful. Oh, I have access to them, you don't. Oh, good luck, man, enjoy that access. I don't know how you deal with the stench of being around them. But anyways, and if they do, you know, how does it turn out? I don't think it's going to turn out well for them.

And that's why I think they have not engaged yet. And if you're saying, but is that a thing that they do? Yeah, what the press does since they don't do news, they do propaganda is they try to find someone on the left because they despise the left. The right wing is at least pro-corporate. A lot of it is pro-status quo, pro-rich, pro-powerful. So even the right-wing outside is back in the day when they were not rebelling against Israel. They're like, okay, good.

Yeah, that's good. That's good. Yeah, you pushed over to a window to the right, so the rich and powerful can he get even more. But the left wing populace, no, they're against the status quo, they're against the rich and the powerful. So the media despises us. And they've been ignoring us, trying to make sure we never get any coverage. So Bernie Sanders, in that historic run where he went from 1% on the polls to 48% basically in the 2016 run,

You know, in the year he did it was 2015 before they started voting at the very beginning of 2016. Do you know how much ABC News covered Bernie Sanders in 2015 as he's doing one of the most miraculous political ascensions in not just American history, probably in world history? From 1% to nearly winning at all, ABC News covered him for seven seconds in the year 2015. because they purposely try to make sure you don't find out about the good guys. Because if you find out about the good guys, it's really attractive. And you'll see, oh my God, Bernie is a guy who actually cares about you. And a lot of you were attracted to that.

That's why they tried so hard to make sure you didn't find out about Bernie's hands. And then once you do find out and they can't cats out of the bag and they can't help it anymore, that's when they start attacking. I can't wait for that day. So the next time they come to attack us, they're gonna have another thought coming to them. So because why, do we have some secret weapon? Yeah, yes and no. No, there's nothing you don't know.

Yes, we have a secret weapon. It's called the truth. I can just, me and Anna can give you stat after stat, fact after fact, truth after truth. And mainstream media is not used to that. They hate facts, they hate the truth. So when we stump them with the truth, they're like, oh, God damn it's like kryptonite to them. So it'll be interesting to see. Look, this is probably the second or third time I'm gonna tell you this story, but I was so,

it was such a stark example of the difference between us and mainstream media. We're at a news gathering, somebody from the Associated Press is there, and I keep saying stat one stat after another about Israel because somebody asked, somebody else at the table asked. And they're all indisputable stats, you could all look them. up and the things you've heard me say many times, 94% of Congress has gotten campaign contributions from the Israeli lobby, et cetera. And the associate associate associate is getting angrier and angrier. It's like, why is he allowed to say facts? These are

facts that are escaping, stuff them back into prison. And then by the end, he gets so mad, he says, none of those things are true. I said, well, we can look them up on together if you want. I got, I'm not animated. We could have a civil conversation. We're all in news. Let's look Come up, let's, we can Google him. He got so mad he got up and walked away. Why? Because they hate facts. And God forbid that facts slip out.

That's my guess as to why they haven't attacked us yet. Because if they attack us, we're gonna attack back and we're right and they're wrong. Look, any cable news anchor, I've said this a couple times, having to do it in time anywhere. Any cable news anchor that wants to defend their coverage, I'll debate you. And we could have it structured, no talking over one another, limited time, any kind of formal structure you like. But none of them will take it because they know they're wrong. Like if somebody, yeah, anyways, so, and they're also aloof, they're all snobs, and they're

like, debate an online person whose audience is much, much larger than my, what? Okay, no, no, no, Israel's right about everything. And then the rich and the power floor write about everything. They should always take taxpayer money. Facts suck. You bury that guy. Don't let him talk. Okay.

Oh, God, our media is just the very, very worst of us. Okay. And I don't want you guys to think that I'm against journalism. Are you crazy? I love journalism. I want there to be real journalism. I want them to be obsessed with bringing you this. the facts. Instead, they're the exact opposite. Okay. So yesterday we talked to Dan

McKnight, who was from Defend the Guard, and he's talking about how Howard Dean and one of the top Republicans in Vermont came together and are pushing this idea of not sending the National Guard from the different states unless Congress has voted for a war. And I remind you of that today because times are dark, they're about to get darker. But in the midst of that, unity is breaking out. Like, mainstream media told us that bipartisanship was the greatest thing in the world. So some of you are old enough to remember that. They haven't really gotten done that recently for a reason that I'm about to explain.

But, you know, when I was growing up all the way until about five years ago or so, they would all, every time they passed a new tax cut for the rich or a new war or new deregulation, the press would celebrate bipartisanship. They're like, oh my God, this is so surprising and amazing. Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden have agreed again. Well, why is it surprising and amazing? They agree all the time. Every terrible bill we've ever had, Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell brought it to us together.

And the press like, Bravo, more tax cuts for the rich. Bipartisanship is great. Now we say, hey, good news, I know how much you love bipartisanship. I was subjected to that propaganda for decades. Well, we now have bipartisanship. Tucker Croson and I agree. They're like, what? Bipartisan ship is terrible. We should never let them unify.

Oh, so when the rich and powerful sons of bitches are unifying to rob us, you loved it. When average Americans unite against the establishment, all of a sudden, bipartisanship is evil and toxic and radical, right? And they don't see it because they drank their own Kool-Aid. So like any mainstream media reporter that watches this, they're like, I have nothing to do, no facts for them at all. Can I call them names? Can I, anti-smen, definitely, obviously.

What else can I call them? Radicals, fringe. Well, radical, what do you mean? All my policy positions are in the majority, literally except my strictest gun control views are don't have 50%. But a lot of my gun control views like federal background checks, et cetera, are very, very popular. But I get it, like, you know, on the strictest gun control, I wouldn't win the day. And hey, we're a democracy.

So, okay, I lose on that one. That's, again, that's called life and democracy. And you don't get to every. But other than that, like 99% of my views pull over 50%. The overwhelming majority of my views pull over two-thirds of the country. And the views of the people they call moderates and centrists on television and the New York Times, their views sometimes pull at 16%, 9%, 7%, but the New York Times says they're not the radicals, were the radicals. The American people are the radicals. The disgustingly corrupt are moderates

and centrist. If you're a New York Times reporter, I'll debate you. You want to debate what's a moderate and a centrist? Come get some. Nope, they won't do that because they know they don't have the facts on their side and they've been lying to the American people my whole life. So no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not going to get into any debates. We're not going to get into any conversation. We're going to shut down all opposition because the rich and the powerful must be served because we're objective. Okay, you guys know my war path. So look, last thing on this, and then I'll do a quick bonus episode for you guys. So every day, there's more and more data that comes in that supports the thesis that the bubbles about the burst.

Trump is definitely going to expand the war after the midterms, maybe even before, but definitely after. He's telling everyone, they're moving the troops in, they're moving the ships in, they're talking about tactical nukes. So come November, when we re-attack Iran on a big scale, and they take out the Saudi and the Gulf country oil and gas fields, and we take out the Iranian oil and gas fields, good night, Irene, the depression begins. And so the markets will crash. It'll, like if you think it's bad now, you have no idea how bad it's going to get in November. So now we have a timeline. The, you know,

the economic bomb goes off in November. We're in October. That means it's one month away. And then things go kaput. Be careful. Be careful with your money. I can't give financial advice and you have to do what's right for you and you have to act in a way that's rational for you and I can't make that decision for you and timing is everything in investments so I can't get the timing right for you. So I'm just giving you general thoughts on what I think is going to happen. So when the crash comes, it'll have a very negative, two very negative downsides and one upside. And so the number one, we're going to lose millions and millions of jobs. And we're going

to have really high inflation and bad, high unemployment at the same time. It's going to get really dark. And then what's going to happen is a rage is going to begin. And when the rage begins, I'm then going to have to flip over and say, no, no, no, don't hurt people. Don't Don't do anything crazy. Don't attack people based on their religions. Don't do any of that, right? And then I'll probably bear the brunt of some of that rage, even though I'm the one who wanted to prevent it in the first place.

Because we're always going to protect the innocent, we're always going to protect anyone who's being unjustly targeted. So those are going to be dark times. So what's the one upside? Nobody's going to listen to any bullshit from anybody on television, any mainstream media. any of the politicians, all their bullshit is going to be despised forever. So when they just keep coming and telling you all the same lies, it's not going to end well for them. And so I don't mean that in any physical way.

I just mean like they'll be thoroughly despised by the American people. And so in the 2028 elections, when those propagandists tell you, oh, no, do not vote for the one who would help you most, vote for. Or, you know, the establishment candidate who, you know, six is an elitist and all of us elitists love him and he will continue the robbery, that shit's not going to fly. So I mean, the next two years, guys, is going to be the most interesting thing you've ever seen. So I don't know that's an upside, but that's a reality. Things are going to get crazy. If you think this is crazy now, you ain't seen nothing yet.

So now this is the time when we all hope that I am wrong. Okay, so if you pray, pray that I'm wrong, hope you don't hope that I'm wrong, but I'm worried that I'm not. By the way, I forgot to tell you this, sorry that I'm ending on this note, but there's a part of that prison story that I, in, of how the Palestinian journalist was abused in the Israeli prisons that I forgot to tell you. If anyone prays out loud, the prison guards come in and beat him within an inch of his life. That's the country we send hundreds of billions of dollars to. All right, that's why we need a political revolution. And if the people in charge

who were smart, which apparently they're not, they would be okay with a political revolution before something worse happens. But there are morons who are going to run straight into the iceberg and then blame us for it. But it's not going to work because they're sick puppets in the media are now hated by the country and no one believes them. All right, that's one of the upsides.
