The Young Turks - Trump's F Bomb - April 6, 2026

Episode Date: April 7, 2026

Donald Trump warns Iran of “hell” over the Strait of Hormuz in a profane post as reports from an Israeli outlet tied to a Trump donor suggest Benjamin Netanyahu’s strategy is to cripple Iran’s energy and transportation sectors to force regime collapse. Behind the scenes, U.S. and regional mediators push for a 45-day ceasefire, even as tensions escalate.

Welcome to the Young Turks, Jank, Yugar. Anna Kusparian with you guys. For the first time in a couple of days to say the least, back in the studio together. I love it. So big show ahead, of course, as I previewed in a live video earlier today, Iran has rejected the ceasefire proposal, which because it wasn't really a ceasefire proposal. It was nonsense. So we're gonna get to that.

We're gonna get to a new standard if Israel or US is killing civilians. That's okay. It's okay because those targets had dual use. New excuse for terrorism, but only if Israel does it. Okay. Right. So, so a lot to get to here, including Democratic plans for 2028 and 26. How are they planning to get back the House and the White House? Well, we'll see if they can or not. So a lot to get to, Casper.

Yes, there certainly is. And I want to begin with, well, what Trump had to say during his press conference today. Let's get into it. Because we are obliterating that country. And I hate to do it, but we're oblitering. And they just don't want to say uncle. They don't want to cry as the expression goes, uncle, but they will. And if they don't, they'll have no bridges.

They'll have no power plants. They'll have no anything. If I had my choice, what would I like to do? Take the oil. Because it's there for the taking. There's not a thing they can do about it. This morning, President Donald Trump, decided to double down on the profane Easter mourning threat that he put out against Iran,

threatening Iran's civilian infrastructure if the Iranians refuse to open the Strait of Hormuz. Now before I give you the details on that and more, Jank, your two cents. Yeah, so it is an act of complete desperation by Donald Trump to do all of this. Oh my God, please, we open the strait. And literally nothing he says is true. So we're gonna give you all of his nonsense comments and the reality. And then talk about, uh-oh, what are the consequences of this? So let's begin with what President Donald Trump decided to put out on Easter morning.

He issued this threat to Iran saying that Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day, all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the effing straight, and he actually used the word, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah, President Donald J. Trump. Now targeting civilian infrastructure flies in the face of international law.

It's basically committing war crimes. But we are now unfortunately in a new era where war crimes aren't even a thing. And so if this is the kind of conduct that the United States and Israel thinks is okay when they're carrying it out, then Israel in particular needs to stop whining when war crimes are committed against them. Just saying that, okay. Now moving on, let's get to some of Trump's prior statements. So prior to Trump's threats, U.S. Israeli strikes severely damaged Iran's B1 bridge in

Karaj, and a petrochemical facility in Mashahar, in. was also targeted. Now just today, we got more notification about yet another petrochemical plant or facility that was targeted by the Israelis. We'll get to that in just a minute. But in late March, the Iranian Red Crescent Society reported that more than 82,000 civilian structures had been damaged by U.S. Israeli bombardments, including 62,000 homes, 498 schools, and 281 medical centers, hospitals and pharmacies. Additionally, 17 Red Crescent Basin bases, including 17 Red Crescent bases and 94 ambulances and rescue vehicles have also been damaged. So I don't want anyone to make the mistake of thinking that the targeting of civilian

infrastructure in Iran hadn't happened until now. No, it's been happening throughout the entirety of this incredibly short-sighted and stupid war. CNN also confirmed the targeting of vital civilian infrastructure through its own forensic analysis using videos and satellite imagery. One example cited CNN. CNN's reporting, cited in CNN's reporting, was the use of a 2,000 pound bomb to target Iran's IRIB TV station, which is only 100 feet away from the Gandhi Hospital. Quote, these bombs used by both the U.S. and Israel are capable of killing or wounding people more than 1,000 feet away, according to CNN's reporting.

So Iran's civilian infrastructure, again, was already being targeted. What Trump and the Israelis are doing now is just a continuation of more of the war crimes that have already been committed. Now, Israel's, you know, defense minister, Israel Katz announced today that the IDF forcefully struck Iran's largest petrochemical plant. This key facility accounts for about 50% of Iran's petrochemical output. This follows an attack on Iran's second largest facility last week. facility I was referring to earlier.

As a result, both facilities, which together account for 85% of Iran's petrochemical production, are now out of operation. This represents a multi-billion dollar economic blow. He says to the Iranian regime, but make no mistake about it. It creates a massive blow to the global oil markets, which we all suffer from. So thank you to Israel, the actual terrorist state in this entire situation. Jank, back to you. Yeah, so this is what I'm, well, we're doing.

worried about the Israelification of our policies because in America we don't hit schools and hospitals or we didn't used to. At least not overtly. Yeah. And now we're, you know, doing what Israel does destroying. I mean, look at that, 498 schools, 281 medical centers, what are we doing? You know, I don't know what percentage of that is us and what percentage is Israel. Israel thinks that it's allowed to do terrorism and it's enabled by our mainstream media

here in this country that has this now two different standards. So if a Muslim country does it, they're a goddamn terrorist who can't believe they're targeting civilians, murder them all, right? If Israel does it, they're like, oh, no, that's now, they've invented a new word, we'll talk more about it later, dual use, okay? So a bridge or a medical building or a school could have dual use, so we're allowed to be terrorist? No, we're not.

This is all invented and made up. And if you notice what Anna just told you, we hit a TV station and like it was normal. We dropped a 2,000 pound bomb on a TV station. Yeah, and Trey Yinks reporting we're using bunker busters in Iran, okay? So those are gigantic bombs. So wait, is it now okay for Iran to hit CNN or New York Times or ABC? My guess is if they did, we would all call them terrorists. In fact, my guess is that people at CNN would scream at the top of their lungs about terrorism.

Yet we hit their TV stations, kill civilians, nary a mention, right? Like you could barely hear anything about the invasion of Lebanon from Israel on television, on cable news, or terrorism. You hear almost nothing about it on cable news. I mean, this is, you gotta remember, TV is not news, it's propaganda, it's poison for your brain, turn it off. Okay, so now the Trump's statement there, I mean, you want to talk about projection, you're crazy bastards. Who's the crazy bastard?

I mean, the guy's screaming, open the hyphen-the-hefix-trades. And he sounds like a spoiled child. Like who screams into the abyss? Open the epic straits. Like if you already have power and leverage, you don't need to act like that. And do you think acting like that is gonna get you what you want? But he's been like trained his whole life to be spoiled. 100%.

But it's not gonna work when you're in a way. war with a different country and then he says, you'll be living in hell, brother, we're living in hell. Gas in L.A. is up to six and a half dollars, six and a half dollars, headed to eight. Okay, we'll cover that later in the show. Make sure you check out that video. So, and now he says that Tuesday is power plant day and bridge day. I remember when we had a more innocent time in this country when Tuesday was Taco Tuesday. Okay. Yeah, look, I need, I need everyone to understand. Every time, Israel, or I'm sorry, every time Israel in the United States target civilian infrastructure

in Iran, Iran retaliates in kind. So whether it's water desalienization plants, whether it's these petrochemical facilities, Iran is going to respond and retaliate in kind. Now, one of the ways that they've been retaliating is by striking some of the infrastructure in these Gulf countries. Now I'm going to tell you about someone that is a partner of ours that our audience loves. If you know me, I'm always out of time.

considering the fact that it's Saudi Arabia. They don't have access to clean drinking water, or at least not as much as other parts of the world. And so if Iran decides to strike the desalonization plants in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia is done. Saudi Arabia is done. These, you know, Gulf countries are done. If Iran decides that, you know what, we're going to intensify our attacks against them, and we're going to go after their critical infrastructure. So what Trump and the Israelis are doing here is incredibly dangerous for many countries,

not just Iran, but nonetheless, I mean, they don't learn their lesson. And every time Iran retaliates, they whine and they cry about, oh, Iran is attacking our civilian infrastructure. Yeah, they're retaliating. How about you guys stop attacking their civilian infrastructure? But they're not going to. This is actually their whole blueprint. This is their plan, which we'll get to in a little bit on the show.

Yeah, so along those lines. First of all, if you notice, Iran counter strikes. Yes. They don't strike first. That is incredibly important. By the way, are the neocons that are the cable news anchors in this country noting that? No, no, they're making it seem like Iran is the devil, right?

But look, I don't want any of our guys getting hurt at all. That's why we shouldn't be in this war. But our job is to be honest with you guys and bring you the real news. Iran only retaliates in the same exact way that we have bombed them. So if they were the aggressors, that wouldn't be the case. They'd be hitting the Israeli and Gulf infrastructure before we hit them. But so far, they have not done that at all. So we are clearly the aggressors, we are the ones that started this war.

There's no and zips or busts about it, and we are the ones escalating throughout. All right, now obviously- Can I add one more thing to that guys? Look, what was the first thing Israel did mere days after the US attacked Iran? They invaded Lebanon. At the same time, Israel has made it abundantly clear that they will not put IDF boots on the ground in Iran. Now, why is that? Because they have the United States dutifully fighting its war for them against Iran,

freeing the Israelis up to engage in land annexation in Lebanon. And they have announced, yeah, we're going to annex southern Lebanon. There's nothing you can do about it. So what we are doing is using our soldiers, using our hard-earned taxpayer dollars, or actually, I should be more specific, we are going into more debt as a nation to fight Israel's war for them in Iran so they can expand their empire. That is what's happening right now. Yeah, we're enabling and financing the terrorism of Israel.

and our troops are a distraction and a diversion while they take southern Lebanon. But it gets worse. So if we hit Iran's energy facilities, the power plants, et cetera, and we've already started with hitting the petrochemical plants, and Iran retaliates by hitting the ones in the Gulf, why are they hitting the Gulf and not Israel as much? Because Israel has Iron Dome and the Gulf doesn't. So the Gulf leaders are a bunch of idiots who made a deal with Israel thinking, oh, we'll be safe if we do.

No, exact opposite. Since it's very hard to hit Israel, they're like, well, the leverage that Iran has is oil prices, global oil prices. So you're gonna hit our oil, we'll hit your oil. And by the way, guys, now oil is going to, if Trump follows through on that threat tomorrow, oil will be catastrophically high prices. So get ready, and every time you go to the pump and you pay that extra money, remember, Israel robbed you of that money.

Now you're saying, wait, wait, wait, are you sure that it's all Israel, etc.? Now let me tell you the last part of it, which it will make your blood board. Part of the reason Israel wants to hit all the energy plants in Iran is so that Iran counterstrikes. But why would that help Israel? Because Israel has a giant gas field called Leviathan that they have just opened. And there Netanyahu's all over the air saying, hey, don't worry, guys. You can now buy energy from us. Cool, Iran should strike it.

Yeah, well, if they can. I'm gonna be clear, I mean, look, I know that there's like significant censorship in Israel, but there are some military experts who are in the know about what's going on on the ground in Israel and more and more of Iran's missiles are getting through. Yeah, so look, they're playing a super dangerous game, both for Israel and then obviously in region and the whole world, because as we're gonna tell you later in the show, the oil prices, If you think they're bad in America, oh my God, they're horrific in other places. Israel is going to melt down the entire global economy.

They already have, Jenks. They already have. They're a cancer in this country, in this world, on this globe. Everything that they do is at the detriment of every other country on this planet. It's all about them. And they will go, they will do anything it takes to destroy the economic well-being and the sovereignty of any country. if they see them as a threat, if they see them as real competition when it comes to their economic goals, that's what Israel is.

And now guys, the super dangerous part is that before Israel did not have an internal energy source. So now that they have Leviathan, they feel that they don't have to import energy anymore, so they feel safe. The rest of the world can burn, but they have enough. Plus, they export it and make extra money. So the higher that energy prices are, is it's a lot of the higher that energy prices are, Israel views it as a huge win for them. That is why what Anna is saying in this particular context is literal. The more the rest of the world is in pain, the bigger advantage Israel thinks they have for themselves. That way we get to take southern Lebanon, we get to destroy Iran's military so that there

are no regional competitors of ours. We destroy everyone's energy facilities so that we're the only ones left with Leviathan. And they can, you know, they can charge whatever they want. I mean, considering the fact that there's going to be less oil and gas supply, thanks to the war that they've been pushing for and succeeded in getting the United States to carry out. Now, have you seen any of this in mainstream media? Of course. Have you seen a discussion of Leviathan and how Netanyahu's bragging about they're going to be the only alternative left? You haven't seen any of it, right?

Isn't it weird? Isn't it weird, as you'll see later in the program more and more of this, that when they, like when any of Israel's neighbors defend themselves, they're called terrorists, and they can't believe they hit any civilians at all. When Israel hits civilians, they go, no, no, all of a sudden that's dual use and totally fine and that's not terrorism. And yet they pretend to be objective? No, our mainstream media is the least objective thing.

In fact, they invented the idea, and this was a brilliant piece of propaganda, that they're the ones who are objective to cover up their bias. Right. It's amazing. Brilliant, well done until now. You're caught, and this is all a mask off moment for everyone in national media who's still covering this as if Israel is the victim when in reality Israel is clearly the aggressor and destroying the Middle East and now doing massive damage to the world. Well, let's pivot over to something else that broke over the weekend that you should know about. So over the weekend, President Donald Trump told Fox News reporter Trey Yinks that the United States actually armed protesters in Iran in January in an effort to spur regime change. Take a look. President Trump told me the United States sent guns to the Iranian protesters.

He tells me we sent them a lot of guns. We sent them through the Kurds, and the president says he thinks the Kurds kept them. He went on to say we sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them. The Kurds have since responded by saying that they did not take any weapons from anyone, but nonetheless, I don't deny for a second that the United States sent weapons to protesters on the ground. We also know that the United States, along with Israel, agitated for the protest to take place. The US has implemented crushing economic sanctions against the Iranians.

The demonstrations began as protests against the economic conditions on the ground in Iran, something that's been manufactured by US sanctions. And then we learned that Israel put Mossad on the ground in Iran to further agitate the situation. If you don't believe me, take a look at this headline from the Jerusalem Post, where they write that Mossad spurs Iran protests, says agents with demonstrators in Fars, Farsi says agents with demonstrators in Farsi message. As protests grow across Iran, the Mossad posted an unusual Farsi message urging demonstrators to act. Now their act ended up getting people killed and the fact that there were weapons on the ground supplied by the United States further demonstrates how our actions lead to more people getting killed on the ground.

And this was never, ever, ever about liberating the Iranian people as the target. targeting of civilian infrastructure by the United States and Israel in Iran clearly shows. Yeah, so it's possible that they told Trump that they're sending the weapons to the Kurds and then didn't send it to the Kurds sent it to someone else to Mossad or whoever, right? So now there's absolutely no question Mossad has said it in their tweets about how they're in the field with the protesters. And the Israeli press is confirmed, Mossad has said it, our guys, Mike Pompeo has said it. So there's no question.

So look guys, look at the propaganda again, sorry, but it's true from traditional media. Now they say, oh my God, 30,000 killed. Now Trump, by the way, moved the number up to 45,000 protesters killed. He even said it could be 60,000. Yeah, so these are 100% made up numbers. They are. So we tracked where the number originally started from. And it started from a source at Time magazine, who's the source?

An associate of Reza Polavi, the puppet that Israel wants to put in place in Iran as their Shah as their dictator. So two times in a row, two times in a row, I've gone on Pierce Morgan's show, and both times he just regurgitates the 35,000 person number, right, casualty number. And I reject it because there's no evidence to back that up. None. At all, at all. You guys think I didn't do my research and looked into it?

Of course I looked into it, of course I want to know the number of people. who were killed. So let's actually look at credible numbers, shall we? Numbers where this particular organization attached human names to the casualties. Okay, so that's how you confirm that these are protesters who were in fact killed as a result of, you know, the protests becoming violent and the IRGC responding to it. So the most substantial documentation is from the US-based Iranian human rights organization known as HR ANA, which reported in February that it had recorded the names of 6,425 protesters

who were killed. By the way, that number is devastating enough. Why do you have to needlessly inflate it and make things up? Why do you have to pretend like it's 35,000? Why did Trump have to pretend it was 60,000 during his speech today? It's ridiculous, and it leads to distrust. toward the media, distrust toward government officials. Further, in addition, 214 individuals affiliated with the government and 50, meaning the Iranian

government, and 57 civilian non-protesters have been reported killed, according to the same organization. Yeah, so here's how the plan works, and again, they describe it themselves. Mossad agents go into the crowds. They fired Iranian security. Yeah. Iranian security fires back. Wallah massacre, okay?

So now the Iranian regime was bad enough. You didn't need to make it seem worse, right? Like we already know, do they oppress their own people? Yes, they do. But the question isn't that. The question is, what are you going to do about it? Like, can we actually help the Iranian people? And was this an effort to help the Iranian people,

or was it using the Iranian people as human shields? Did you know that the average employer has to sift through about 250 resumes just to find a single job?

t-y-t that's ziprecruiter.com slash t-y-t meet your match on zip recruiter while they were actually had a different purpose. I would go with the ladder jank. Obviously it's the ladder and so while they pretended to care about the Iranians they purposely fired from the crowd or protesters knowing that it would get the protesters killed and they that was Is their plan get the protesters killed while pretending to care about them? And then that'll spur a war, which they had two plans. One is regime change, which would involve grounds on the troops on the ground?

US troops, of course. Of course, never Israeli troops. Their lives are way too precious. And so that would involve maybe like Iraq, hundreds of thousands of civilians killed. Again, Israel doesn't mind at all while pretending this is for the Iranian people. And now they're bombing petrochemical plants, they're bombing bridges, schools and hospitals, murdering Israeli, Iranian civilians at a massive rate while they pretended this was on behalf the Iranian people.

Now look, that's Israeli propaganda and I get it. What bothers me is what Anna's pointing out here, which is that almost everyone in American media repeats that propaganda as if it's true. Show me a source. And then they pretend to be objective. Show me a source that isn't linked to Israel or the Shah about these numbers that you're inventing out of whole cloth. These are the same exact people, by the way, the same cable news anchors were like,

oh, the number of people killed in Gaza, you can't trust that. It's from dirty terrorist Hamas, you know, wait a minute, they literally counted individuals. They didn't count the people on the rubble. The IDF later said yes, their numbers are accurate, okay? So those are incredibly accurate numbers by Jake Tapper and all the rest of them were like, A bunch of dirty Arabs. You can't trust their lying numbers, right? Then when it comes to Iran and Israeli propaganda, they're like 30,000, 45,000, can I say 60,000, 90,000?

Because they're making up numbers. Yeah. Because they're not doing news. They're doing propaganda. We got to take a quick break. But when we come back, we'll talk a little bit about the, well, the war crimes that Israel not only carried out, but took ownership of and proudly so. Come right back. I'm a double.

All right, back here. Let's go to Supertrack. Krono Hopp says sending love from Vancouver, Washington. Please come visit soon. We need a TYTUS live tour. Let's rally the support. Thank you. I will be going to the Vancouver Web Summit.

So if you can get up to the Canadian side of Vancouver, would love to see you there. That's in May. So it's coming up. Lou McCarm writes in, why doesn't Europe wake up and do something? Explain, please. Since Europe gets affected by oil prices.

Most. Honestly, the reason is a lot of their media and politicians are also Zionists. And so they'll destroy their own people in an effort to help Israel. So we need an actual political rebellion in all of these places to root out Israel from our governments. Because otherwise, why the hell would you? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Why don't we destroy our own economies? That's lunacy. It's not lunacy. Our leaders are disgusting. corrupt and work for a different government. Lord of the hamstrings glory says Trump is losing it, using praise be to Allah to bully Iran while hosting a blasphemous party on Easter.

The hypocrisy is wild. The world is officially done labeling Muslims as the problem. Political speech is broken. It's time to call out the US and Israeli Nazis for what they really are. No more hiding behind old lies. We are done with the labels force, they force on Muslims for years. That is true. Our media in America has been disgustingly racist and racist and

bigoted against Muslims my whole life. They've told you to hate them. They're giant liars. But now what's beautiful is Christians in America are going, nope, we're on to you. We're not going to hate Muslims anymore. TYT, Jankana with you guys. Look at all these beautiful people. Dawn Whitehead, thank you for gifting a membership on YouTube.

Let's get right to our next story. We have a legitimacy to target those civilian targets. And I would advise the Iranian to believe President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu

because they have showed in the last month that they are capable of striking any target in Iran. Well, the man you just heard from who sounds like he has a hot potato in his mouth as he's speaking is Israel's ambassador to the United Nations. And he was essentially previewing the IDF's new war crime-laden plot to try to attempt to topple the regime in Iran. Now before you hear more from Danny Dannen and the plan itself, Jank, your two cents. I thought he sounded German. Like it literally sounded like a German accent to me. He sounds like a douchebag, that's what he sounds like.

Yeah, so because they're now doing the same things as the Germans did. I mean, it's a horrific irony of how fascism has moved from Germany to Israel, who were the original victims, obviously of the Germans. Okay, so what you're about to see guys is a new, a new piece of propaganda. It's called dual use. That's the phrase that they're using. You remember when Dick Cheney said, oh, we're not doing torture.

We're doing enhanced interrogations. So now, oh no, we're not hitting civilian targets. We're hitting dual use targets. So Anna, explain to us how Israel and unfortunately us, we've been dragged into this, are going to do terrorism going forward. That's exactly right. Now, this was reported by Miriam Edelson's paper in Israel known as Israel Hiyom.

And they report that on the working assumption that the regime will not accept the American demands and that its overthrow is still out of reach, the direction the U.S. appears to be taking in order to bring about Iran's collapse is the economic one. Fascinating. As part of the escalating attacks, the targets expected to come under fire include additional bridges. We're talking about civilian infrastructure here, folks. major railway lines, especially those leading to the capital, Tehran.

The expanded target bank also includes various sectors of the oil industry, both in extraction and in related products, including petrochemical industries. In fact, why would you look at that? The war minister in Israel, Israel Katz, announced today that the IDF targeted a petrochemical facility in Iran. saying that the IDF forcefully struck Iran's largest petrochemical plant. This key facility accounts for about 50% of Iran's petrochemical output. This follows an attack on Iran's second largest facility last week.

As a result, both facilities, which together account for 85% of Iran's petrochemical production, are now out of operation. Oh, goody. After 19 years, they're back. Frankie Munis, Brian Cranston, and the rest of the family reunite in Malcolm in the middle life's still unfair. After 10 years avoiding them, Hal and lowest demand Malcolm be at their anniversary party, pulling him straight back into their chaos. Malcolm in the middle, life's still unfair.

Now Israel Hymn also claims, and that leads to the next phase of the economic war, a complete halt to Iran's oil exports. It's oxygen pipeline, which has already been hit hard since the start of the war. This economic move, which over the past year has deepened the crisis as sanctions enforcement intensified, is ultimately expected to bring about economic collapse. The whole point is, well, if you succeed in economic collapse in Iran, you're more likely to topple the regime in Iran. That is the plan. So again, I want to be very clear, Israel in the United States have a plot to intentionally target civilian infrastructure, economic infrastructure in Iran in an effort to topple the regime so Israel can expand its borders. In late March, the Iranian Red Crescent Society

reported that more than 82,000 civilian structures have been damaged by U.S. Israeli bombardments, including 62,000 homes, 498 schools, and 281 medical centers, hospitals, and pharmacies. Additionally, 17 Red Crescent bases and 94 ambulances and rescue vehicles have also been damaged. And those are just the numbers from late March. So in the first six days of April, as we know, Israel and the United States further targeted Iranian civil infrastructure, civilian infrastructure. Yeah. So this is a win-win for Israel.

So how so? They have two goals in the war in terms of the Iranian regime. Plan A was regime change, go in put in Rezapolavi. That seems very difficult now. U.S. is partly rejected as Apollabi as the leader of Iran because he has no support inside the country. The support you see in American media is completely manufactured, 100% propaganda, doesn't represent any Iranians at all. It's actually the Israelis pretending the Iranians want a dictator who's a puppet to Israel. So now they that was their plan A and the more

we dig into the war, the more we destroy their infrastructure, they destroy our infrastructure, The more we have to put in ground troops to open up the Strait of Hormuz. So, and the more likely you're going to get regime change. So Israel loves that. But if that fails, they have a plan B. And again, we get this from the Israeli papers. The American press is totally owned by the government of Israel. I don't mean that literally.

I mean it as in their actions. It's owned by Zionists. It's owned by Zionists. They're Americans who care about Israel more. Yeah, I'm accusing them of not dual loyalty, but prioritizing a foreign country over our own. That is what I'm accusing them of. So the evidence, the evidence is clear, right? They won't report things even the Israeli press reports.

So plan B, now according to the Israeli press, is chaos. Now why? Why do they want that? It could lead to civil war. It debilitates the Iranian regime. They have to focus internally. So Israel thinks that that means they can't fund proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. They can't be a regional superpower anymore.

And that allows Israel to dominate the region. And as then yah who recently bragged and we showed you on video. He says now we could even be a global superpower, okay? So that's the first win for Israel. The second win is, is we have been telling you guys and we're about the only ones, Levi, but you can look this up, please look it up for yourselves. Leviathan is a massive gas field in Israel, and they're now bragging that it's all going to be the only alternative left after all the energy infrastructure in the Gulf and Iran

are destroyed. So that's going to make Israel richer. So they're like, we're getting the sucker Americans and the rest of the world to destroy our enemies and destroy all the energy so that we're even richer and no one can stop us. Meanwhile, gas prices all across the world are skyrocketing. So the whole world is in great pain. But Israel thinks this is perfect. It's a win-win for us. cold water on the notion that Israel ever cared about the freedom and liberation of the Iranian people. We turn to Israel's former defense minister, Joav Galant, who urged President Donald Trump to flatten Iran.

Civilian lives be damned, of course, and he said this on Israel's Channel 12, quote, the United States has the ability to do whatever it wants in Iran, to destroy the heavy industry, hit the oil, hit the bridges, hit the production sites, turned Tehran into. a flat place, everything is doable. Who are the terrorists? Who are the terrorists? You still have a lack of clarity on that? I'll keep going.

So Danny Dannan, the gentleman we heard from earlier, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations was on Fox News this morning to declare that Israel is justified in targeting civilian infrastructure and lied to make it appear as though Iran is the one targeting Israel's civilian infrastructure first, which is not true. Let's watch what he has to say, and then I'll break it down. The president has been talking about the possibility of going after power plants and bridges in Iran if they don't reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Joel Rayburn is a retired US Army colonel who says strikes on power plants could destabilize

this regime. I want to get your thoughts. We tried from the beginning to focus on military targets, but according to the international law, if the other side is attacking civilian targets, you are allowed to retaliate. And we are seeing in the last few days that they continue to target the civilian targets in Israel, in the Gulf, airports, hotels. So we have legitimacy to target those civilian targets. And I would advise the Iranian to believe President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, because they have showed in the last month that they are capable of striking any target in Iran.

In reality, Israel and the United States strikes civilian infrastructure in Iran, economic infrastructure in Iran, and Iran responds in kind. And so this lie about how Iran started it is laughable when the United States carried out strikes against Iran to start this war on February 28th. Yeah, as I hear him speaking, I feel like he's gonna finish every sentence with Bachnaz. Totally, right? Totally. So okay, now, we started the war, we killed 49 of their top leaders, including the Grand Ayatollah in the first day of the war. Imagine if Iran had started the war and killed 49 of the top Israeli leaders.

Now, do you think that we would call Iran terrorists if they did that? Obviously, right? Everyone would be screaming from the rooftops, terrorists! But when Israel does it, and now they're dragging America into their war crimes, no, not terrorists. Absurd. So did you hear what he says there? This is an interesting new standard? He says, if someone hits civilian infrastructure and civilian targets, you are allowed to retaliate towards civilian targets.

So wait a minute, Israel hit Iranian civilian targets. So is Iran allowed to retaliate by hitting Israeli civilian targets? Because it's not my logic. It's the German slash Israeli ambassador there. And I'm sorry Germans, you're good guys now. You don't deserve that. No, they side way too much with Israel. Can you guys be on the right side once?

Just once. I know, right. Yeah, okay. So anyways, so now when Iran hits civilian infrastructure in retaliation, will we say, oh, no, that's fair. The Israeli ambassador said that's a new standard and it's perfectly fine. Or will Jake Tapper scream from the top of his lungs, terrorists! Poor Israel!

Poor Israel! They're the victims, right? Of course they will. Every liar on television will pretend that when Iran does it or any Muslim country does it, it's terrorism, and when Israel does it, oh no, they're allowed to. They're allowed to. Nonsense. Biggest terrorist organization in the world is the idea.

100%. In fact, one other element that I want to share with you all has to do. with this fear mongering about Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons. They never built nukes. They didn't have the capacity to use nukes against their enemies. But you want to know who has nukes? Israel. They're not part of the non-proliferation treaty, as any other nuclear power is. And they stole our nuclear secrets to start their clandestine nuclear program and still refuse to officially acknowledge that they have a nuclear program. However, The topic of using nukes against Iran tends to come up quite a bit in Israeli media.

And I want to give you one example. So just recently on Israel's Channel 14, anchor Shimon Ricklin asked Ben-Gavir, okay, that's Minister Ben-Govir, why aren't we using what's called a neutron bomb, a type of atomic bomb that doesn't damage buildings? So there was some back and forth, there was some other panelists on the show, but he turns to Ben Gavir and says, I recognize your smile, Minister Ben Gavir. Ben Gavir then responds with, my position is well known, and I'll put it in the simplest terms. We need to wipe out the Iranian regime.

When asked about nuking Iran. Yes. So guys, there is a giant threat to not just the region, but the entire planet. And it is not Iran. It is Israel. So look, how can you tell who's right and who's wrong? Because there's nonsense propaganda from all sides at all times. So how do you know we're right and they're wrong? Well, you can see the facts for yourself. The trick that the other side uses, which is almost all of American mainstream media, is framing, right? But there are core facts that you cannot argue with. Iran never had nukes. Israel does have nukes. Iran put

out a fatwa. And if you think that's no big deal, you're totally wrong. A fatwa is the most important religious edict you could possibly have, saying that they would never build nukes, let alone use them. The Grand Ayatollah who we murdered put out that fatwa. And also think about this, if Iran ever built a nuke, which they never had and use it against Israel, what do you think would happen? All of Iran would be nuked. Yeah, absolutely. And so do you think that they're going to countenance having their entire population wiped all? off the map, all of American media says it like as if they're such animals and savages that if they ever had a nuke, they would immediately launch it because they're so filled with

hate against Jews and they would want, even though they know that it would kill like 70, 80 million Iranians in the response, that they would do it instantly. Think about how racist that assumption is in the first place and almost everyone in American media says that. And remember, Iran never had a nuke, okay? But Israel not only has nukes, now they're on Now they're on television. Ben-Gavir is among the top three most important government officials in Israel. He is driving the agenda. Everything he has said, Israel has eventually done.

So he is now saying not only do we have nukes, but we're willing to use them. They're a super dangerous terrorist state with nuclear weapons. That's true. Now the only, I guess the only thing that gives me a little bit of hope that Israel is getting checked on their nuclear weapons because you know the West ain't going to do it. China came out and said to Israel, if you nuke Iran, we're going to nuke you. Oh my God, I hadn't heard that. Is that right? Yes. All right. Okay. When West Jet first took flight in 1996, the vibes were a bit different. People thought

denim on denim was peak fashion. Inline skates were everywhere. And two out of three women rocked, the Rachel. While those things stayed in the 90s, one thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when West Jet welcomes you on Here's to Westjetting since 96. Travel back in time with us and actually travel with us at westjet.com slash 30 years. Okay. So, hey, and if you're one of these Israeli ass kissers who are like, how dare they? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You don't get to murder 70, 80 million people, pretend it's self-defense, and then complain when it happens to you, okay? So here's a great way to avoid that. Do not ever think about using your goddamn nukes, which by the way, you stole from us. Iran didn't steal the nuclear technology from us. Israel, the betrayers, stole it from us. The betrayers also sent Jonathan Pollard to steal all of our other top secret information. They are not remotely an ally.

A terrorist state has captured our government through bribery, through billions of dollars in bribes. They've completely captured our government. Now they're threatening to use those nukes. So sorry, I'm not going to shed a tear. If they murder 80 million people, what happens to goddamn Israel afterwards? Right. Anyway, let's take a break. When we come back, we'll hear a little bit from Ben Shapiro on the topic of targeting civilian infrastructure.

And later in the show, we'll also discuss the ceasefire offer that Iran roundly rejected. We'll be right back. I picked those drapes in my first term. I just saved curtains. All right, let's go to our members on t.t.com. Mr. Inbetween says, am I the only one or do Anna and Jenk look marvelous today? Really? I'm exhausted.

Couldn't sleep last night. I feel like I look tired. You look good though. Okay, thank you. But you're not the only one. Abdi Knight says, Anna, I love your hair today, sleek and stylish, very flattering. Oh, and tell Charlie I said, woof. Aw, thank you.

Okay. Lighten in the mood a little bit. All right, back to serious stuff. Ux 7701 says, Israel and the US have checked off every single box on the terrorism checklist. Funny how these are the two developed nations who refuse to recognize the world court. Hypocrisy is a powerful drug. That's right, they're like, now rules for everyone else, international law. Okay, is it gonna apply to you?

No, we're above the law. Who says we're above the law and has our piece of crap media go, oh yeah, of course, they're above the law. That makes sense, that makes sense. By the way, we're objective. It kind of reminds me of when I was on Al-Arabia and, you know, this woman, this former IDF commander starts like whining about, I think it was 14 Israelis who got killed recently as a result of Iranian strikes. And I'm just like, you guys wanted this war. Why are you guys putting yourself in the position of victim over a war you wanted? A billion.

A billion. This guy, they think they got 23 Israelis killed so far, and they're thinking of using nukes. It's crazy. I mean, imagine if it gets worse. No, no, they're out of control. Navinick says that guy Danny Danon sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger doing an impression of an Israeli. Stop whining.

Hilarious. Matt and Chaos says, I hope someday Natyahu Trump and all the many Nazis get tried for war crimes. Agreed. Oh, from your mouth of God's ears, it would be the happiest day of my life. Back on T. Jank Anna, Matthew Cup, thank you for joining brother. We appreciate you. Is the cup half full? It is now.

get me reading your comments in social media. So the t.com slash join. TYT.com slash join. All right, Anna. All right, let's get into it. So as Israel and the United States carry out multiple war crimes in their war against Iran by targeting civilian infrastructure, Ben Shapiro, who of course has a true affinity for the nation state of Israel, has decided to chime in and express his views on blowing up what

he refers to as dual use infrastructure. Take a look. Well, on Thursday, the United States blew up the B1 bridge in Iran. The B1 bridge is a very, very large structure in Iran. We blew a hole in it. Again, one of the reasons that you blow up bridges is because military material is moved via bridge. And as we are going to discuss more widely, there's been a lot of talk about quote unquote war crimes. War crimes meaning the targeting of dual use resources. A dual use means that it can be used for military purposes and also for non-military purposes. So if you target an electrical grid and that electrical grid is used by the military and it's

also used by civilians, then is that necessarily a quote-unquote war crime? The answer is no. It is not necessarily a war crime. It depends on the proportionality of what you are doing. What is the objective you are seeking to achieve? How effective is the taking down of an electrical grid and actually achieving that military ends and how many people have to be damaged. It turns out that the laws of war have a lot of shades of gray to them. And so anybody who is telling you that it's a war crime to bomb a bridge, well, no, it depends on the bridge and it depends on the military purpose of bombing the bridge because every bridge is, of course, an object. And the object can be used for many reasons.

Okay, great. So Iran is free to bomb civilian infrastructure. It's dual-use infrastructure in Israel. Maybe take out their energy grid. What, what? No war crime. I mean, I heard that from, you know, the expert on the Geneva conventions, you know, the representative from the International Criminal Court, Ben Shapiro, of course. Yeah. Yeah, when Hamas and Hezbollah were attacking Israel, by the way, they also targeted the military. And in fact, they targeted the military of Israel far more than Israel targeted the military of Hamas. Israel targeted civilians more than Hamas did. Why would you go after Hamas when you can go after unarmed children?

Yeah, that's an Israeli specialty. It is. And that's from the Israeli press, by the way. Their civilian kill ratio is much worse than Hamas. But when that was happening, I didn't hear anything about Shades of Gray. All I heard was terrorists, right? Now all of a sudden, when Israel's doing the terrorism, Shades of Gray, you're dual use. And did you notice he said, also how many people have to be damaged as you're not?

you're attacking dual use bridges, schools, hospitals, roads, etc. Well, that's just people being damaged in a normal dual use shade of gray attack, right? So now you've now opened that door. Okay, so when Israel gets hit, I don't want any more crying about terrorism, okay? Because Israel just said it is not terrorism. Those were dual use civilian targets. Sorry, sorry, they're not civilian anymore. They're dual use targets.

That's not my logic. I think that's disgusting logic. That's Ben Shapiro and Israel's logic, and I hope they enjoy it. All right, well, let's move on to the likelihood of an end to this war or a ceasefire, which not so likely. Let's get into the details. Iran has now officially rejected a 45-day ceasefire deal proposed by the United States and other regional mediators, Gulf countries.

who would like to see an end to the war. Other Gulf countries, I should note, would like the war to continue until Iran is destroyed. Now, Iran wants a permanent end to the war instead of a 45-day ceasefire. And I think that's the right take when it comes to U.S. and Israeli aggression. But before I give you the details on what the ceasefire deal contained and more, Jank, what do you think? I'm stunned by how little people in politics, media, and Wall Street know.

They think that this ceasefire might happen. It's ridiculous. There is no chance that this ceasefire is going to happen. Wait until you hear the actual details of what Iran is saying. No, guys, things are about to get way, way worse, and we'll explain why. Exactly. Now, the temporary ceasefire was basically designed to put a pause on the fighting. in order to open the Strait of Hormuz while peace negotiations are taking place.

Does that sound familiar? It kind of reminds me of what happened in Gaza with Hamas. Now, Israel has failed to live up to and abide by literally every ceasefire agreement they've signed, including in Lebanon. When a ceasefire was agreed upon with Hezbollah, Israel continued bombing Lebanon. They carried out more than a thousand strikes during the ceasefire period. Now, according to the Wall Street Journal, Iranian mediators, however, are very concerned that if they were to agree on a pause in fighting, the United States and Israel would use that temporary ceasefire as a smokescreen to prepare for yet another attack on Iran.

Now remember, right now, both Israel and the United States are kind of in a tough spot because they have depleted missile interceptors. As a result, far more of Iran's missiles are now getting through the Iron Dome in Israel. are causing some very real damage. Just recently, a building collapsed as a result of an Iranian strike. And there were some reports about how the society in Israel was concerned that there were bodies trapped under the rubble, which sounds a lot like what Israelis did to Palestinians and continued to Palestinians in Gaza. But anonymous source told Reuters that the effort to put together a ceasefire deal was frantic.

Here's what they write. Army chief field marshal Assam Munir was in contact all night long with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, Special envoy Steve Whitkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqqi. But Iran shut down the notion of a temporary ceasefire, emphasizing the necessity of a permanent end to the war. The official IRNA news agency, state media and Iran said on Monday, so the Iranian response consisted of 10 clauses. So they have their own asks, including an end to the conflicts in the region, permanent end, a protocol for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting of sanctions,

economic sanctions that have been crushing the Iranians. In addition to reconstruction, they want reparations for the damage cause to Iran as a result of this war. And meanwhile, President Donald Trump is now claiming that the US is basically negotiating with The third Iranian regime. By the way, anything that comes out of Trump's mouth should be taken with a massive grain of salt. But with that in mind, take a look. We went in for a very simple reason and not regime change, but we got regime change. This is a different group of people. They're more moderate. They're smarter, much smarter.

And, you know, we blew up one regime and we blew up another regime. And now we're dealing with the third. And it is more moderate. It's better. But we didn't do it for. that seems to be a byproduct. We did it for a simple reason. You know, that is no nuclear weapon. You did it for your masters. Good job. Now, here's what Trump had to say about Iran's desire for a permanent end to the war, a deal that would end the war once and for all. They've made a proposal, and it's a significant proposal. It's a significant step. It's not good enough, but it's a very significant step. They're negotiating now and they made a very significant step.

We'll see what happened. So we've got some more highlights from Trump's statements earlier today, Jank. But before we get to them, I just want you to comment on what you heard so far. So look, it's not a grain of salt. You need to take everything Trump says with a boulder of salt. So what he does is every once in a while he'll bluff and he'll say, I'm gonna destroy everything they have. And you have a district deadline.

And he's so dumb because he's done this 100 times and the Iranians already know it. So then he'll send Barack Ravid to put out an article in Axios saying, oh, no, we meant that negotiations are going great. It's totally not, none of it is true. None of it. Iran is like, what negotiations are you talking about, right? So now, why is a ceasefire near impossible at this point? Because you heard Anna tell you Iran's demands, we're gonna lift the sanctions, and we're

going to give them reparations, and we're going to guarantee that they're going to guarantee that that we never attack again and how would we do that? Remove our bases from the Gulf. That's none of this is going to happen, okay? And we have to guarantee that Israel stops attacking Lebanon and all of their neighbors. All of these are impossibilities from Iran, like that's Iran's ass. Now our ass, our ass are open up the straight of Hormuz right away. We won't give you a permanent peace, we'll only give you a 45 day ceasefire while we reload.

And we want all of your uranium, which is the theory of. radical point of the war. So both sides are asking for the moon, totally outrageous ass that aren't even anywhere near close to what would be a deal. Yeah. Right? So we're a million miles apart. And part of the reason why people don't understand how deep this war is going to go and

how buried we are in this war is because the media keeps reporting what Trump and Israel are saying as if they might be true. They're not close to true. Look at the actual details. When you look at the details, you realize, oh, no chance we're gonna get to a ceasefire. So you also have to keep in mind, there are different objectives when it comes to the US and for Iran. For Iran, they see this war as a war for their own survival. And they have calculated that, you know, it makes sense for them to take the hits.

And don't make any mistake about it. Iran has taken devastating hits from the United States and Israel. But they're willing to do that and basically run out the clock because they know that the United States has depleted its interceptors. And they also know that, well, there are some reports indicating that Iran's salvo of bombings were basically the missiles used for those bombings were like the older missiles and that they're kind of holding back with their more sophisticated. arsenal. So that's not a good sign for Israel as more and more of Iran's missile start to go

through the Iron Dome. And the other thing that I'll just note, and I want to go to video C4 here, is that Iran has a lot more leverage than Trump was willing to admit going into this war when he was a useful idiot for the Israelis and was persuaded that this would be a quick and easy regime change war. Obviously it hasn't been. And now it seems that, in his moments of clarity, Trump has come to terms with the fact that, yeah, Iran actually does hold some cards. Take a look. Are you willing to make a deal that does not include reopening the straight of Burmuse, or is that now a top priority?

I would say it's a very big priority because, see, that's one thing that's a little different than other than. We can bomb the hell out of them. We can knock them out for a loop. But to close the straight, all you need is one terrorist that somehow has a truck loaded with, because you can carry them in trucks, large trucks, a water mine, drop them in the water, and now you tell people that own chips that cost a billion dollars to, don't worry about the mine. You can do that even just by saying we put mines in the water. We've knocked out their Navy. We've knocked out their Air Force completely.

We've knocked out 158 chips in three days. We've knocked out even their mind droppers. They don't have any mind droppers anymore, but they put them on other boats and they could drop them. I mean, considering the fact that Trump genuinely seems to believe that the U.S. and Israel have destroyed Iran's military capabilities, it's strange that you keep hearing about missiles getting through and hitting Israel. You know, he's so inconsistent because he's a child. And so he can't, whatever's in the top of his mind, he says it. And he does the bluster and then he accidentally tells you the truth.

So he says at one point, as you just saw there, we destroyed all their mine droppers. Then but earlier he said, well, you know, there's nothing we could do about the trucks they bring in to drop the mine. So which one is it? You just saw it with your own eyes, you can go back and rewind the tape, right? So what he's doing here is accidentally admitting, yeah, they have massive leverage. We cannot stop them from mining the Strait of Hormuz. And all the things that he explained about how Iran could block the straight and is now blocking the strait, we knew before the war.

But apparently either Trump didn't know it or his Israel first advisors told him, don't worry about it. It'll be easy, Donald, and you'll be a hero, and they'll surrender right away. And as we showed you earlier in the show, he really thought that they were going to surrender right away. He absolutely did. In fact, just last week, the New York Times came out with a report indicating that the head of Mossad, David Barnia, had basically been the one who persuaded Trump that this would

be an easy war to topple the Iranian regime. Didn't work out that way, did it? Yeah, of course, as usual, Israel screwed us. And they lied, it's just same exact way in Iraq, fake weapons of mass destruction, intelligence, oh God, America, we have such important intelligence for you. It'll get you to attack our number one enemy at the time, right? So now, look, Iran is using, I've also seen reports, and this one I'm not as sure about, that they are using, they use decoys to get rid of our interceptors and Israel's interceptors. Oh, they definitely did. There was evidence of that.

So for instance, one of the things that they did is they used in, like basically a massive balloon that looked like a tank. And the US was like using its, using its missiles to strike these massive inflated fake tanks and things like that. So guys, look, our military has incredible capability and the rescue of the two guys who got shot down on Iran was amazing and fantastic. But also, the problem isn't the military, the problem is the leaders, right? So the Iranian leaders thought through these things, and our leaders, Hegzif and Trump,

or like two of the dumbest people in the country and didn't think through anything and believed everything that Israel told them. Like this is not new military strategy. The Turks used it in the 1970s to conquer Cyprus. They drop decoys first, you see where the Greeks are firing from, and then you bomb the places where the fire firing is coming from. So this is, and in the case of the interceptor missiles, it's obvious logic that you use as many decoys as you can to get us to waste our interceptors.

They thought that through, but our leadership didn't think it through, and that's part of the reason why we're in this mess. The final piece of this puzzle, of course, has to do with Israel and what Israel wants, because of course, Israel's desires reigns supreme. It's more important than what the United States wants, obviously more important than what Iran or the globe wants. And so in regard to, you know, Israeli insider Barack Ravid's reporting over at Axios, he claims that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Trump against a ceasefire deal, an Israeli official told Axios. Yeah, of course, he doesn't want a ceasefire, he wants to dig in. He wants America

descending ground troops. I mean, he can't use his own ground troops. They're busy invading Lebanon. God forbid he should fight the war that he started. Israel should ever fight a war they've started. But one last thing guys, as we dig deeper into the war exactly as then Yahoo wants, gas prices across the world have risen from 16 in some countries, 16% to 90% in some countries. So economic global disaster is headed our way as Israel celebrates and thinks,

Perfect. We're getting mired in this muck. The whole world is. And now they're also gonna need our gas field and Leviathan. And that's why they're happy to bomb those power plants, which, you know, is there another perceived win for them. So the whole world melts down, but Israel is ecstatic about how things are going. When we come back from the break, we pose a question, what's worse? Fake news or Jake news? Come right back. If you're Christian, in fact, I will fight for you to have your religious liberty and practice your Christianity. I believe in that. I don't believe in Christianity, which means that you do not get to dictate the way I live my life based on your religion. I don't care what the Bible says.

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

I don't care. I don't believe in it. And I have the right based on our constitution to not believe in it. Aza has been left unscathed. Ain't a whole lot left? I don't know why they need any more mom. Let us be clear. The United States provided $18 billion in military aid to Israel. Netanyahu indiscriminate apartment have killed more than 50,000 civilians, 60% of whom are women, children, paramedics, and journalists, all of this is against base. human decency. You don't starve children with absolutely no humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. It is a war crime. It is illegal for the United States government to provide Israel with more

offensive weapons. It will not forgive us. We've been on our phones too much. I feel like we just need to touch grass or something. I told you. I mean, you know what? Let's actually do it. Let's touch the grass. Andrew Yang? It's not racist, right? It's him. Yes, it is I. Andrew Yang out here giving money away, as usual. Wait, but literally? Do you use a phone?

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

Okay, Anna. All right, let's get to our next story. CNN's Jake Tapper had a bit of a tantrum. after former counterterrorism director Joe Kent, quote tweeted or quote posted something that DropSight News had reported on. Now Jake Tapper gets real sensitive when it comes to DropSight, his competitor that actually does, you know, journalism and gets a lot of praise for the journalism drop site news does. But before I get to the details, which I'm sure you're going to love, Jank, your two cents. Yeah, so it's something I want you to notice in this story and you can notice it going forward to is that when they don't have the facts on their side, people like Jake Tapper immediately go

to smears and name calling that are totally free of the facts. So here he's going to name call drop site news and Joe Kent, but never does he disprove any of the drop site stories, which by the way can be, which are about, mainly, not about this one, but mainly about how Epstein worked on behalf of Israel. Yep, sure did, sure did. And Jake Tapper doesn't want anybody to know that, so he's been talking smack against Dropsite News the entire time, but completely fact-free. Dropside News is one of the only publications in the United States of America that tells

the truth about Israel's depravity and war crimes. It's that simple. Yeah. Dropside is the only source that does does a fantastic job in detailing Israel's expansionist policy, their land theft, land annexation. And again, they're terrorism. Israel carries out terroristic acts. They're doing so right now in Lebanon. They're doing so right now in Syria, where they're occupying even more land. The media isn't even reporting on that at all. Obviously, they carried out a genocide in Gaza and continue to, you know, just be incredibly brutal against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip. And at the same time, they're occupying 53% of the Gaza Strip as we speak.

So with all of that in mind, let's talk about the story that precipitated this tantrum from the likes of Jake Tapper. So here's the context. It has to do with the fact that the United States lost at least six military aircraft recently, both on Friday during U.S. Israeli strikes on Iran and during an operation to retrieve a pilot and weapon systems officer whose F-15 fighter jet got shot down over Iranian territory. Okay, so the F-15 that was shot down was deep inside Iran when it came under Iranian fire and became crashing down. Luckily, the two individuals in the aircraft were not killed. They were

rejected from the aircraft. Within an hour of that strike, the US was able to find the pilot and rescue the pilot. However, apparently there was the weapons systems officer, weapons system officer who was missing for about two days. But over the weekend, it was reported that the US military went in and rescued this individual. He was wounded or injured, but luckily survived. Now, Iran had put out a reward for anyone who recovered the American first. But luckily, you know, our military was able to recover him before the Iranians were. Now, Iran, I don't think would have harmed him, but they would have made this individual a prisoner of war and used him as leverage in negotiations with the United States. Now, the Washington Post claims that CIA allegedly launched a deception campaign to mislead the Iranians into thinking they already have.

had the airmen and were like basically taking him out of Iran on the ground. But obviously that wasn't the case. Now the US rescued him before the Iranians could get to him, but military experts, including Marine Infantry Combat Veteran James Webb, who happens to work as a military consultant now, says he has reason to believe that the pilot was coincidentally saved As the U.S. was in the area, in the middle of a separate operation entirely, here's the argument that he makes. The footprint itself is indicative of a larger operation that was going on or perhaps bumped into the fact that we had a downpilot in the region. And this is what's really opened my eyes was today seeing that, you know, there are some 76 aircraft involved in this and potentially hundreds of guys.

And, you know, when you're taking a look at the different contingencies in place or what. could have possibly happened. It really opens a lot of doors into, you know, maybe they were going to grab the nuclear dust or, you know, perhaps the most logical and baseline thing is they were thinking they were going to contact and brought a lot of people with them. Feeding that is the traditional way that these teams go in. It's traditionally an Air Force operation to recover their personnel. We have a lot of people on the deck, apparently, from different branches to surface. Dev Gruer, Seal Team 6 was there. The 160. looks like they were there with the little birds on the deck, which is an odd thing.

They would have flown in on those C-130s and been pulled off the back and put into action. That would be, you know, very atypical. That is a very heavy footprint. Would have attracted a lot of attention and it appears to have done so. Right. And I mean, he makes such a great point there, right? 76 aircraft to rescue one airmen who was missing. I mean, obviously that's going to draw attention by the Iranians.

and you're gonna become a target. So what was really going on? Were those aircraft in Iran specifically for the rescue mission? And I wanna go to one more video before we go to the whole Joe Kent debacle with Jake Tapper. So here's Colonel Daniel Davis explaining why he also thinks that the US was actually in the area for a separate mission and just happened to run into the missing pilot, the missing airmen. Take a look. And by the way, I'm showing us an image on the screen here on the on the,

On the lower left-hand side there, you see U.S. search aircraft filmed operating in this area. This is where allegedly the F-15 was taken down, that jettisoned these two pilots. And then you can see in the upper right-hand corner, the other red box of wreckage of the U.S. transport aircrafts, which were right by Isfahan, which is one of the reasons why evidence is starting to pile up that this was more than just an operation to extract the pilot. From what I would have read, and I was looking at the actual Air Force manual on these C-SAR kind of operations, and the idea is you go in there with the smallest footprint that you need to get the job done. You're not going to go in with a couple of these. These are the records you saw there, these HC-130J Combat King II, as my understanding. You're not going to go in with these which we can hold, you know, a company, a company plus of men, these two of them.

Why would you go in there with that many people if you're a bit, you're a bit. objective was to just get that pilot back. Now of course, none of these details, which are incredibly important, were reported by the corporate media or legacy media in the United States. But I love hearing these details because it gives you a better sense of what's actually going on in Iran with our actions, with our military actions. Right. So look, as much as anybody is an expert on these military affairs, like those guys, we're all still guessing, right?

So I have no idea if it was just a rescue mission or if it was something else on But I could totally believe that it was just the rescue mission because politically it would have been a disaster if we lost that guy. And so, and morally too, so I'm super glad we got him back. I also need you to know the cost of that. I don't mind paying those costs to rescue in America. And I do mind bearing those costs because we started this war. We didn't need the war at all, right? So anyway, we lost two planes, a couple of planes and a couple of helicopters, okay?

So the entire mission costs us $300 million added to Israel's tab, right? Of course Israel is never going to pay any of that, but we started this war for them. So we almost lost a couple of guys there. We have already lost 13 service members. A couple of guys got injured in this rescue operation, and we have this giant bill that is now going to be sent to the American taxpayers. So it's maddening. And one last thing, guys, no matter what the mission is for, we're going to be sent to the American taxpayers.

why they sent so many guys in into that rescue operation. 76 aircraft, yeah. Now Iran knows what our tactics are. In fact, I think we made a huge mistake by bragging about all of our tactics all over the press. As I was reading it, I was like, why are you telling us all of these details of how you set up the airport strip? You created a new one. There was a makeshift strip, yeah. Right, and all of the extra details.

It's to get credit for Trump and the team, right? But meanwhile, what if we have to do a second rescue operation? Because it looks like Iran could shoot down our planes. So now they're going to be armed with that knowledge. And what if they hit the plane with a couple hundred troops on it? By the way, according to Secretary of Defense Pete Hexeth, the U.S. now has complete air dominance over Iran. He said that we completely control their airspace. I mean, what a preposterous lie.

So now we've lost how many, now when you include the rescue effort, I think we're up to about six planes and helicopters that we've lost over Iran. Yep. So it doesn't look like complete air dominance to me. Sure doesn't. Super worried about the next time. So all of that context is really important for you to understand in order to understand the next part of the story.

And what Joe Kent had posted prior to the airmen getting rescued. So he had quote posted a drop site post that said that Iran state linked Tasneem news, citing a military source claiming U.S. forces are bombing areas in southwest Iran where a missing pilot may be located, alleging Washington has lost hope of recovery and is attempting to kill him. Now that's what, you know, one Iranian state linked news source had to say, make of that what you will, but in response, Joe Kent says, praying for the rescue of our downed pilot and the safe return of our special operators going in to get him back. Apparently, Jake Tapper lost his marbles over this because of the fact that Joe Kent

quote posted dropside news, which I don't know, Tapper is very salty about. So let's go to what he says. Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent sharing Iranian state-linked outlet. Wait, let's stop there. Dropside news is not linked to Iran. Drop site news was founded by legendary war journalist Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grimm. What do you mean Iranian-linked outlets? Yeah, look, I got a little, I'm not as sure about that because,

So he has referred to DropSight News as Iranian backed before, which is just an outrageous lie in defamation, right? But in this case, maybe he's referring to the fact that DropSight News is quoting the Iranian State-Link Tostom News. But even so, guys, think about it, right? He said, DropSight said, citing a military source claims the U.S. forces are bombing, right? They didn't say that the U.S. forces are bombing. They didn't say that the Iranians are right. They just quoted Iranian press. Right.

We quote Israeli press all the time, we quote Iranian press. You know why? Because we're a journalist. And our job is saying, oh, here's what that side is saying, here's what this side is saying, and now let's try to suss out what's true or not true. But Jay Tapper doesn't do that. He goes, that's it, you're all guilty. I have some sort of connection to Iran.

So I'm gonna smear drop site news. I'm gonna smear Joe Kent. And Joe Kent didn't even reference the Iranian story. He just said, I hope our troops are safe. Right. But so it gives you a sense of Jake Tapper was lying in wait for Joe Kent. 100%. He couldn't wait to try to discredit Joe Kent.

Why? Because Joe Kent implicated Israel in us going to war with Iran and Jake Tapper can't stand that. Yeah, Joe Kent told the truth to the American people, much like Secretary of State Marco Rubio did at the start of this war by noting that we got dragged into it by Israel. It's that simple. We all know it. It's not a secret. So like stop lying to the American people after the fact.

We know that Israel wanted this war. Benjamin Netanyahu at the beginning of the war said, I've been wanting this for decades. I've been dreaming about this for decades. So Israel wants something and they get what they want because they've captured our government. It's that simple. Does Jake Tapper think that he's gonna lie his way into convincing the American people that what the truth is isn't actually the truth? Yes, he definitely does.

To be fair to Jake, that's what they've been doing. Let's not be fair to Jake. No, no, that's what they've been doing for. been doing for the last 40 to 50 years. They've been telling us that the Muslims are the terrorists, and they're their aggressors. And poor Israel, as they took more and more land was the victims and only acting in self-defense. Golly gee, I don't know how they wound up with all that land. Occupied territories, parts of Lebanon, Syria, etc.

So Jake was right for all this time, not about the facts or the news, he was right that Israeli propaganda did trick the American people into believing that Israel was the victim all these years. But he can't get through with his thick head is Jake, the internet exists now. We have access to the actual news and we share it with people and they can confirm it. They can see what is right and not right. So this really pathetic, desperate attempt to smear Joe Kent is because he quote tweeted someone else referring to what the Iranian press is saying, right?

Well we quote you and you're some form of American media, even when you're, you're in some form of American media, even when you're lying and then we give the context for it. Exactly, exactly. So should we never quote you? Let's actually talk about Jake Tapper's conduct. Because in response to what Tapper had to say, Joe Kent says that Tapper's purpose, and I agree with him on this, like the entire corporate media is to promote this foolish war and attack anyone who points out how this war isn't in our nation's interest.

that he tells people to read independent media, Iranian media, and U.S. media always question those cheering on wars and always pray for our troops. I agree with that wholeheartedly. Okay? Now Tapper responded to that by saying, like anyone who watches my show knows that I don't promote the war, I simply cover it critically, critically. Okay, Jake, okay. But let's, I have in my notes, let's pause for laughter.

Good job, Jane. Now, Tapper. When it comes to Tapper's conduct as a journalist, a fair journalist on CNN, let us not forget that he literally had Emily Schrader, who works for Israeli intelligence on his program to speak on behalf of the Iranian people. If you don't remember, here's your reminder. How do the Iranians you're talking to, how do they see the future unfolding in Iran? Of course, there's a lot of uncertainty and there's a lot of problems with the internet still being shut off, although there is some limited use with Starlink and limited other options. But by and large, the responses from Iranians that I've spoken to has been overwhelmingly in favor of the United States and Israeli action on the ground.

At no point during that broadcast was it disclosed to view. viewers that Schrader works for Israeli intelligence in Unit 8200, Jank. That's weird. So look, here's another country's media that we often use, Israel's. And they actually have a very healthy press, and we often get real facts from them. And so Plus 972 magazine is amazing. Arets often has great stories. But Times of Israel and many of the other publications, including Miriam Aidos' publications in Israel.

Sometimes because they're good journalists like it's 972 and arrests and and sometimes they are inadvertently say like- No they report the truth because Israeli society loves these wars. They're supportive of it right whereas here in the United States reporting the truth would turn the American people against Israel clearly. He wants to fight wars on behalf of a foreign country. That's ridiculous. In Israel they love the wars. So yeah, the journalists are going to report the truth including what their actual objective. objectives are.

And so they think that it really doesn't go much outside Israel anyway, so it can't really affect. And because why does it not go much outside of Israel? Because they know the American media will not be as critical of Israel as the Israeli media, right? In fact, the American media's whole job is to cover up the news and do propaganda for Israel. And so that's why Jake Tapper gets so touchy when you point out, wait, this, we had no interest in this war at all.

It was Israel that 100 was clearly, super clearly pushed us into the war. this war, the Israeli press says it, right? But the American media goes, no, no, no, no, cover up all the news, don't let anyone criticize beloved Israel. So like, his bias is so gigantic. But to me, one of the greatest tricks that mainstream media ever did was declaring themselves objective. And like, they just said it.

We are the objective ones and everyone else is biased. If you're going to be massively biased, that is a brilliant piece of propaganda, right? Yeah, except we're not stupid and we can see through it. But as long, but before the online media came, to be fair, they had a monopoly at almost all of the media. They did. So they tricked tons of Democrats and Republicans and everyone in the middle to think that Israel was our ally and that Israel was the victim. And so that, and through all that, and as you know, they've taken over $300 billion from America. Way more than that.

And the people like Jake Tapper pretended that that's for our good. Well, Jake, if that's true, why doesn't Israel give us back to $300 billion? And then that'll be great for Israel, right? No, they never do that. No, only give, only give to Israel, only give to Israel. And anybody else that says it, you're an anti-Semite if you ever question Israel. And that's another reason why the Israeli press is better, because you can't call them anti-Semitic, which is their number one tool to do propaganda in America.

Jake Tapper loves that propaganda tool. Yeah. Well, when we come back, I want to get to the second half of this story, because Trump had issued some threats against journalists who had reported about the missing. U.S. airmen in Iran. Well, we now know who first reported on that story. Is Trump going to do anything about it? And spoiler alert, not an American journalist. We'll be right back. They are kissing my ass. That's kind of nasty. Right. Members on t.com, Huang John says, Israel's using American soldiers as human shields.

Last time I heard that was supposed to be a bad thing. Yeah. They've, guys, they There are facts that they cannot deny all the propaganda in the world is not going to change the fact that we are using American troops and not Israeli troops, period. Jake Tapper can do 2,000 lies around that. That's why, by the way, the one question I keep pounding away at that no one else is picking up and you've never seen in mainstream media is, why aren't we using Israeli ground troops? And so they want to avoid that like the plague. Isn't that an obvious question?

How come not a single person, just coincidentally, not a single person in mainstream media has thought of that question? Absurd, right? Mangou says, meanwhile, the Democrats are busy yacking about Hassan Piker. I know, it's insane. It's literally, it's insane. So Israel's committing a genocide, they've dragged us into the sworn, they're like, yes, but what about Hassan Piker?

You want to know why? Because he's influential and he's critical of Israel and you just can't have that. Of course, they want to destroy anyone who's critical. of Israel. Kristen Welker and all the other propagandists wasting their time with his hatchet jobs. Kristen Welker waited on this? Meet the press. Oh, she spent four minutes grilling Rocah on Hassan Piker. Oh my God. Not the war, not the like you could have spent so much time talking about so many different things. Listen, the Democrats, look, this whole campaign was launched by Third Way, which honestly is the core of why Democrats are such losers. Okay, such corporates.

goon losers, Republican light and can't get elected because they have betrayed their own base. All right, back on TYT, Jenk, Anna, and Colin Vitorelli. Oh, what a beautiful name. Sounds like it's from Jersey. All right, guys, I do have a revolution coming up in half an hour for you guys. We have a really interesting guess who's challenging a Democrat because of a dirty trick, an incumbent Democrat did. You guys are going to love that story. And then afterwards in the bonus episode, I'm going to tell you, I have a, I visit a lot of college campuses during spring break.

And what did the students tell me in private and in secret? It's kind of devastating. So I'm gonna tell that to the members at the end of the entire show. Good time to sign up now because of that. All right, Anna. All right, well, let's get to our next story. President Donald Trump is absolutely furious at reports disclosing that the US had lost and was attempting to recover a US.

Airmen who had been shot down by Iranian fire. Now, I'm gonna go to the video, and then we're gonna get to the details of the journalists who broke the story first, and then we'll ask whether or not Trump is actually gonna make good on his threats. Take a look. As you probably know, we didn't talk about

the first one for an hour, then somebody leaked something, which will hopefully find that leaker. We're looking very hard to find that leaker, and talked about there's somebody missing. They basically said that we have one and there's somebody missing. Well, they didn't know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information.

So whoever it was, we think we'll be able to find it out because we're going to go to the media company that released it. And we're going to say national security, give it up or go to jail. And we know who, and you know who we're talking about. There's some things you can't do because when they did that all of a sudden, the entire country of Iran knew that there was a pilot that was somewhere on their land that was fighting for his life. And it also made it much more difficult for the pilots and for the people going in to search for him.

Which is why it shouldn't be surprising that the reporter who first broke this story, thus jeopardizing the U.S. airmen who was missing in Iran was an Israeli, actually. Let's go to Ryan Grimm's post on X, where he says, as Amit Siegel just acknowledged on his telegram channel, he was the first to publish details about the missing second airman. Siegel is an Israeli journalist known for his immediate proximity to Benjamin Netanyahu. So the real question, Jank, is Trump going to make good on his promise and go after this journalist for publishing something that put our soldier in jeopardy? There's no chance of that.

No chance. But what's interesting is why did that guy leak that story? Because they're not our allies, they should be considered our enemies. But we live in a topsy-turvy world where Israel gets to abuse us and we just take it. So we sent in hundreds of guys to rescue that guy. If the Iranians got a load of our actual plans, they could have shot down one of the planes and cost us a tremendous number of troops. And if all those Americans died, what would happen?

We would get dragged deeper into this war, which would serve Netanyahu's interest. We reported to you earlier in the show that Netanyahu called Trump and told him he is not in favor of a ceasefire. He wants us to dig in further. So that is a very curious leak. But of course, since it's an Israeli connected to Netanyahu, there will be absolutely no consequences. I mean, the Israelis murder American citizens and there are no consequences, no one arrested, right? You think that there's going to be consequences for this? No chance. Now on a lighter note for one second,

with that pink hair, Trump looks like an umpalumpa. I just need to like note that for the record. You could rewind it. Maybe we'll show it again. Yeah, I didn't even notice it. Yeah, yeah, if you can rewind it. I know it's like in the middle of a super serious story, but he looks absolutely absurd. Look at the pink hair. He looks just like an umpa lumba. I just, I gotta say the effort in dying that hair when the rest of you looks the way it does is, it's almost admirable. Because at that point, I just give up, it's over, I look like this already. Like what am I gonna dye my hair?

I mean, what difference is that gonna make? We have a literal clown for a president and he puts on orange makeup and has pink hair. Okay, but the plot begins with this story, Jank, believe it or not. Because the real question is, okay, but who? leaked this information to the Israeli reporter. And it turns out that Miranda Devine over at the New York Post had published a story about that and then took it down. And she pointed her finger at Israel cats in Israel.

Yeah, but then said, I just deleted a post quoting the Times of Israel, implying that the Iran rescue leak came from the office of the Israeli Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, because that appears to be false and the Times has now deleted its mention without acknowledging error. And the office of the IMOD strenuously denies being involved. It was Israel Cats. Yeah, that's that's Israel Cats going, what are you crazy? Why did you print that?

That implicates us trying to get Americans killed so they'll get stuck in this war. That's obviously true, but retracted. And so now they all have to retract it. And why would they, why would they want in this context for an American soldier to get killed by the Iranians? Could it be that that would maybe lead to further escalation in a war that Israel wants? Yeah, 100%. Of course. And so guys, here's another reason why you know that we're more likely to be right.

Because if someone wrongly quoted the Israeli defense minister and an implicit, complicated Israel in potentially betraying us and maybe getting our troops killed, that person would be arrested in Israel, okay? They would be massive efforts to get that person who falsely quoted the defense minister. But since they likely correctly quoted the defense minister, there is no such effort, okay? And finally, I just, I wanted to do one quote from Cernovich. Oh yeah, go ahead.

Yeah, so Cernovich is a deep right winger. And so drop site news has been breaking all these stories about Israel. And now Jake Tapper and the neocons on cable news are furious at drop site news and calling them Iranian propaganda, et cetera. When they just have Epstein's emails and Larry Ellison's emails and Ahud Baroque's emails. They decided to do a deep dive and analysis into the emails and then simply report on them. The same emails that we all have access to, by the way. Yeah. Yeah.

And CNN and New York Times and the rest of them are totally ignoring the emails that are public. Everyone acknowledges Israel and they're like, it implicates Israel, cover up the news, cover up the news, okay? So Cernovich, the deep right winger, then had this tweet, which I thought was interesting. He said, we are losing our young guys to the left because they all read drop site news for Israel news. And he puts American in quotes, American. American conservative media won't cover issues that are all over Israeli press.

Zoomers go to left-wing sites instead. So now, why do you think that is? Because most of conservative news media is funded by Israel First. Okay, they're funded to do propaganda on behalf of all the donors, the fracking guys, the oil guys, the banking guys, but also Israel first. So that is why they do nothing but propaganda that's in favor of Israel. It's also true of mainstream media. So Cernovich is for the first time accurately assessing a situation and going, we're losing people to the left because they're the only ones being honest.

That's exactly right. And don't get it twisted guys. The Democrats and their leadership especially are not honest. They're, an MSNBC is not honest, right? No, the populist left, the independent left online is your bastion of honesty, right? So that is why, by the way, of all the people who are not. who hate the independent left, the number one people who hate us are the Democratic leadership because we're a direct threat to them. We take over the Democratic Party,

we will win every election, at least in the near future, right? Because we actually aim to serve the American people and not the Israeli people or anyone else. And that is very appealing to independence and now even some of the right wing, right? They will vote for the first person that actually represents America and not Israel. I mean, Millions of people will vote in that direction. So Republicans, if you want to nominate another Israel first guy, please, by all means, Democrats, Democratic leadership in the primary, you want to put up corporate Democrats that are going to be Israel first, please.

All we need is one, Rokana or someone else, to come in and represent Americans, and Sernovich is right, we're gonna route these guys because there's no one else being honest about Israel. And I want to be clear, there's an old video of Hillary Clinton going viral right now as we speak, where she says, and I quote, I want the Iranians. to know that if I'm president, I will attack Iran. So don't think that this is a Republican versus Democrat thing. This is a corporate, bought off, scummy, corrupt politician thing. That's what this is. Anyway, we got to take a break. When we come back, we'll talk about the latest from the Epstein

class. All right, back on TYT. Let's go to YouTube members. M. Brown 7361 says, Sison is now more popular than ever. Thanks, corporate media. Yeah, they are making him more popular by constantly attacking him. And what they're trying to do guys, if you don't know, is try to remove anyone who's a critic of Israel from the politicians. So that's why they attacked Abdul al-Said, they attack Rokana, they attacked anyone who's ever talked to Hassan. By the way, the number of times they've attacked politicians who are talking to Mark Levin, who is an actual bigot and a racist, zero. Never, never. That's how you can tell.

They're giant liars in corporate media. They're all total propagandists. They're not anywhere near news. Dawn Whitehead says, sick of Israel and our idiotic, war hungry, greedy government. Don, you speak for all of us. Marissa Case says, thank you for coming to Canada to spread this message, which I wish I could be there. I'm in Ontario. Going to the Vancouver Web Summit in May, check that out if you can.

Nick Mon 55 says, the dual use thing isn't new for Israel. They were stopping scissors and other medical supplies from being let in for humanitarian aid, any excuse to be terrorists that they are. Yes, they love to pretend that about that dual use. Oh, if it's them, then we get to kill them and deny them aid, etc. But if they even touch a hair on a precious Israeli head, well, then that's it, the world's worst terrorist. Anyway, Moka Funk says, I hope everyone had a wonderful zombie day. Isn't that every day?

Lord of the Hamstrings Glory says every hour roughly $21 million. Every 60 minutes this conflict costs the equivalent of providing a full year of Medicaid for over 2,500. All right, back on TYT, I just wanted to finish a super chat I was doing during the break. If you want to catch the comments and the interactions during the breaks, t.com slash join that member stream doesn't have the ads during the breaks. It has me reading them. Anyway, Lords of the Hamstrings Glory who wrote in a super chat, I just wanted to finish their thought, they said that this war is costing us $21 million an hour, okay?

Which could provide a full year Medicaid for over 2,500 Americans or funding hundreds of local infrastructure projects. But remember, those are only Americans. They're not precious Israelis. I mean, our government is spending money on us, unthinkable when they have to fund all of Israel's wars. Anna. We've got some updates on the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein file, so let's

get into it. The Epstein files has been a saga that's lasted for the entire for the past year. And what happened when the president signed the Transparency Act is that the Department of Justice has now released all the files with respect to the Epstein saga. To the extent that the Epstein files was a part of the past year of this Justice Department, it should not be a part of anything going forward. The pedophile protection racket continues with the now acting attorney general Todd Blanche, since you know, Pam Bondi has been ousted, making clear that the Department of Justice is wiping its hands of the Epstein files. They don't plan to release any more documents, and they certainly do not intend on investigating

or prosecuting anyone, God forbid. Jank your two cents before I give you more details. Yeah, so Pam Bondi didn't get fired for bungling the Epstein files and not releasing them well enough. She got fired because any of them got released. They thought she did a terrible job of burying the file. So Todd Blanche is now coming in to do a better job of that. And you just saw him say on tape, going forward, there will be nothing else released and no one prosecuted. So we're back to full Israel First protection under Todd Blanche. That's what this is all about as Anna is about to show you. In fact, I mean, Blanche is adamant about.

engaging in this cover-up. Take a look. The Epstein Files, you'd agree not handled well? And I don't, first of all, I have never heard President Trump say that the Attorney General was anything that happened to her had anything to do with the Epstein Files. And so look, the Epstein Files has been a saga that's lasted for the entire, for the past year. And what happened when the president signed the Transparency Act is that the Department of Justice has now released all the files with respect to the, Epstein saga. And the Attorney General Bondi and I appeared in front of Congress voluntarily

a couple weeks ago to answer any questions they had. We have made every single congressman, Senator, available to come and see any document redacted, unredacted that they want. And so I think that to the extent that the Epstein files was a part of the past year of this Justice Department, it should not be a part of anything going forward. These people are sick. Just a reminder that the DOJ has only released about 3.5 million pages of records related to Epstein, which is only half of the roughly 6 million documents they initially claimed to have. So we don't have access to 50% of the documents. And here you have Todd Blanche pretending as though they've released everything they can release. Now Blanche, who by the way was also behind transferring Galane

Maxwell to a minimum security facility where she gets to play with puppies as a serial rapist and child groomer, you know, says he doesn't intend to investigate any of the perpetrators in the Epstein files, doesn't intend to help the survivors. Let's take a listen on what he had to say on that. Is the public going to learn the identities of the men who abuse the girls with the information that you're releasing and if not, why not? And then I have a quick follow. You just baked in an assumption into your question that I have never said, and I don't know to be true, is the public going to learn about men that abused these girls? Like, what does

that mean? I understand what that means. We said in July, and it remains as true today as it was in July, if we had information, we meeting the Department of Justice about men who abused women, We would prosecute them, right? We talked about the work that we're doing. That's why I said that. I said this earlier. There's this built-in assumption that somehow there's this hidden trance of information of men that we know about, that we're covering up or that we're choosing not to prosecute. That is not the case.

I don't know whether there are men out there that abuse these women. If we learn about information and evidence that allows us to prosecute them, you better believe we will. They weren't women, they were minors, so girls, minors. In some cases, as young as 13, 14 years old, children. Yeah, so. So Todd Blanche is a disgusting liar. Sure is. So over a thousand girls were abused.

So Epstein and Galane Maxwell were prolific and they're the only ones who did it. But we already know Prince Andrew did it. We already know all these other guys that were involved. It's super clear and they've already paid settlement. for the sexual abuse they did to the girls. But this effing liar is sitting there telling you that there are no other men. I mean, how disgusting guys, do you get it? Our government is covering up for a pedophile ring.

Oh, I get it. Like that is unreal and in the most brazen, outrageous way. This is the same guy that Santa told you when did the deal with Galane Maxwell. Not only case she played with puppies, that's not an exaggeration, that's actually real. He's allowed to order any food she likes into her minimum security prison. She got transferred to a prison where she could play tennis, she can do have fun, it's like a club med, okay? In fact, some of those prisons are literally called club fed, but she can even door dash.

Like it's insane. So this guy has given special privileges to the guilty, says, covers up all the other scumbags who raped American girls. And he does it obviously on behalf of the sick pedophiles who did all of that. That's exactly right. Let's talk about more of the sick pedophiles. So the DOJ also had been accused of withholding records related to Trump, including from a woman who spoke to the FBI four times after saying the president abused her when she

was a minor. That issue prompted the Justice Department to go back and release additional files. It said were withheld in error. But reporters said page numbers indicate about 30 pages of that record are still missing. Gee, I wonder why. Now, it's been two months since the DOJ released their last tranche of Epstein files, and there haven't been any charges brought against anyone since that happened. And remember, about 50% of the files we don't even have access to, and we don't know what

those files say. So there might be more incriminating documents that we just haven't been able to. able to see. And in response to Todd Blanche, one of the most vociferous fighters on this issue, Representative Thomas Massey, wrote the following. Congratulations, A.G. Blanche. Now you have 30 days to release the rest of the files before becoming criminally liable for failure to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And look, even if you are not at all interested in this story, it doesn't fire you up, you have to give Massey credit for being among a tiny group of lawmakers in Congress who still see their role as members of Congress as relevant. Because right now, Congress

seems rather irrelevant, powerless, uninterested in holding the executive branch accountable, for instance. So I love to see this from Thomas Massey. He's not dropping this issue. And there has been some condemnation of Blanche across the political aisle, including from Democratic Representative Robert Garcia and Republican lawmaker Nancy Mace. Todd Blanche was Donald Trump's former personal lawyer. This is not some independent person. He worked for Donald Trump, is very loyal. How can you say the investigation is over when there haven't been actual any convictions when they were refusing to actually meet with the survivors? And so I'm very concerned about

I was not impressed by some of the comments this week that the DOJ would have no further interest in arresting anyone related to trafficking in the Epstein cases. That was very disappointing to hear. Many of the most important documents that I've sought to view at the Department of Justice are still redacted, particularly the names of co-conspirators. Like, why is that information being hidden from the American public? And so I promise to get to the bottom of it. And I hope she makes good on that promise. We'll wait and see what happens. But Cenk, what do you think the outcome of all this is going to be? Yeah, so I'm super curious about that because I don't know how that freight train collision, you know, resolves itself.

So let's go over a couple of things here. Look, I appreciate anybody who comes to the right side of an issue. So Robert Garcia, good job of holding people accountable now as a ranking member there in that committee. Good job by Nancy Mace, fair is fair, right? on this and she was a critical vote to release the Epstein files. And then she got smeared because of that. Instantly there were leaks about, oh, she's so mean to her staff, etc.

Classic Israeli hatchet job against anyone. Wait, why is Israel involved? Because all the emails of Epstein are about how he can help Israel. That's why you're not seeing anything. Because our media and our politicians are in the Israeli protection racket. So that if he had done this on behalf of Cuba or China or Russia, all we would be talking about is Russia, you raped our girls, the Chinese did this, we got to go to war. The Israelis do it. So but really, back to Massey, there's two guys who were American heroes on this.

And there's no question about it, no matter what else happens, they should build statues of them on this alone. Tom Massey and Rokane. And I'm like, I get that Massey was the only guy for a long time on the Republican side, because right now, It's Republicans in charge and it's harder to out your own party, right? I don't know why the entire Democratic Party wasn't with Rokana from day one. They joined much, much, much, much, much later when there was massive inevitability to what they had done. When he first got started as usual with anything Rokana does, which is usually on behalf of the American people, all the other Democrats were like, oh, tis, tis, tis. I can't believe he's working with Tom Massey.

That's so crazy. So it drives me crazy that how corrupt 98% of our Congress is. So now back to Bondi for a second. So the number one mistake she made was saying that the Epstein files are on my desk. So because then everybody's like well then the files exist. Right. That's the giant part of the reason she got fired because she bungled the cover up, right? There is a second reason to be to be fair, which is that Trump was really mad at

that she couldn't prosecute his political enemies. But that's because there were garbage cases. Yeah, the courts just dropped it. Like they're like, no, this isn't- And the president is like, I want you to prosecute my political enemies on tape. So like you can't win that case. That's why he got laughed out of every court. And then as usual with Trump, he blames Bondi when it was actually his fault.

I got no love for Bondi, okay? And I'm glad she's fired. But it's not like it's solved. We got someone who is actually more seasoned in coverups like Todd Blanche. So at this point, last thing overall is at this point you have this hilarious cover up in the media, right? Where we know that there were tapes because we have the emails where Epstein says, remember we're putting the video cameras in the clocks and in the tissue boxes.

I love it so much. Yeah, and our press is like, what videotapes? What blackmail? Oh, and if there are videotapes, first of all, we're not gonna ask any questions about it, we're not gonna press it. I mean, why aren't they all screaming? Where are the videotapes? Where are the videotapes?

Because their friends are pedophiles and they wanna cover up for them, that's why. Let's just call a spade a spade, let's just be honest and blunt. Yeah, it's, look, they're not just doing it because they're pro pedophile. They're doing it because Israel did it, right? And so that's why they're so desperate to cover it. You're telling me they put tapes into tissue boxes, the video cameras in the tissue boxes, and they didn't tape it? Come on.

And the government doesn't have that despite the fact that they entered all of his properties and all of his safes? No, obvious. And they have the tapes, but he didn't use it for blackmail? No, you would have to be the dumbest person in America or a mainstream media journalist to believe that. Agreed. Well, that does it for the main show today.

Coming up on the revolution, Jank. So tonight we're going to talk to someone who's Democrat, but has to is forced to run it as an independent because the Democratic incumbent leaving the seat did one of the dirtiest tricks there is. So I'm going to counsel you. Let's hear the guy out, but my, based on what I've seen already, do not vote for the Democrat, vote for the independent. And if you're one of those Democratic pom-pom people who are like, nah, you vote for the Democrat no matter how corrupt they are. No, I'm not interested in you. Okay, you're those kind of people are the people who destroy the Democratic Party. Oh, let's protect the corrupt.

No, let's not protect the corrupt. Let's drive them out of the party. Let me just read a real quick tweet before we end. This is from Mike Cernovich. Hassan is not my cup of tea, but allowing people who lied about WMDs when they had official power to remain in good standing versus a stream or influence streamer or influencer is a silly double standard. 100%. 100%. Among those liars are Jake Tapper and almost everybody on cable news who lied and lied in Iraq war,

Iran war, every war, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, and you think Hassan's the problem? You guys are 10,000 times the bigots, the liars of any of the folks that are online. All right, we do have the revolution coming up. And afterwards in the bonus episode for the members, my experience on college campuses, and will the students whispered to me as they feared what might happen to them, all that's It's coming up. We'll be right back.
