The Young Turks - Trump's Mixed Signals - March 9, 2026

Episode Date: March 10, 2026

Trump keeps contradicting his own Iran War timeline. Israel strikes Iranian oil facilities as crude surges past $100, triggering the long-feared Gulf supply squeeze and rattling global markets. Senator Lindsey Graham escalates the rhetoric, vowing the U.S. will “blow the hell out of these people” and warning strikes on Iran could intensify.

You're listening to the Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. I'm so upset. Oh my God. Anna Kisperin with you guys, oh my God, is Israel losing this war? A panic in Israel has broken out. We're going to tell you about it. There's apparently a rift in the government, and Donald Trump was telling me about leaving early.

There's giant news in today's show. The war must go on. Yeah, turn of event. The war must go on. Well, aren't you running out of interceptors? Is that what's happening? So did you start a war and didn't think it through? Hmm.

Okay, so we've got a lot of updates on that. We've got updates on oil and how it's affecting prices here at home. Just a world of material literally to get to, including some new devastating strikes inside Iran. This is a war against civilization and barbarism. Yeah. So anyway, should we get started with the first story? Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it.

We took a little excursion because we felt we had to do that to get rid of some evil. And I think you'll see it's going to be a short-term excursion. How good is our military, right? Amazing. We've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough. We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory. ultimate victory. President Donald Trump seems to be signaling that we're looking for an exit from this disastrous

war that's playing out in the Middle East against Iran, of course. It looks like Israel is badly hurt, even though there are sensors basically preventing reporting on casualties and things like that. But Jay, maybe I'm getting this wrong. You're two cents. Oh, no, you're not getting wrong at all. So when Donald Trump started saying this in the middle of the day, that's not his only time he said it, we got more for you.

I was like, wow, I wrote on social media, look, if he doesn't do ground troops, I'll give him some credit. Like he doesn't deserve any credit for a war he started, but at least we're not getting further into the morass, which is really, really important, right? And most importantly, like, wow, he's gonna defy Israel. And then we found out later in the day, no, he's not defying Israel. Israel is in a panic about losing this war. And so they're now considering withdrawing.

I think it's called F-A-F-O. I believe so. Okay, that is what the kids call it. Yeah, so there's two awesome developments here. Potentially no ground troops and the war not going as well as the people who started thought that it would. So let's get to the details here because earlier today, President Trump said the following during an interview with CBS News, quote, I think the war is very complete, very pretty much.

They have no Navy, no communications, they've got no air force. Well, it's a funny thing to say considering the fact the Tel Aviv is being pounded as we speak. So really? Is that really what's happening here? He continues. Trump added that the US is very far ahead of its initial four to five week estimated timeframe. And believe it or not, it seems as though the Israelis, or at least some in the higher levels of the Israeli government would like this war to come to an end.

Now before I read you their statements, let me just remind you all that the United States went into this disastrous war with 25% of its missile interceptors depleted. So Iran knew that. And so Iran has been taking some pretty devastating strikes in Tehran, which we're gonna talk about later in the show today. But I think their war strategy has been from the very beginning, short-term pain once they they run out of the interceptors, then we cause the damage. Yeah, and that's what it looks like is happening.

Now, in fact, there was reports that Iran was using decoys to get Israel and America to waste our $4 million interceptors. And it worked. Yeah, and they apparently have 100,000 drones stocked up. They only cost $35,000, knocking them down, cost millions. So they had a long-term strategy of, you know, basically depleting us and then forcing America into a decision. And so what we thought was gonna happen first was America was gonna start to run low on defensive

missiles and think what am we're gonna do with these ships? All these drones are coming. We can't expose our aircraft carriers, et cetera, without enough interceptor missiles, we gotta get out of there. But now it turns out before we even come to that conclusion, the Israelis are coming to the conclusion, oh no, we're running out of missiles and our civilians, of course, are the most precious people on earth. The war must go on.

Right. This is a really important war. They've been wanting it for many decades. Yeah, but I was- They must go on. Yeah, but so I'll say this, of course, they don't mind killing Iranians and Lebanese and Palestinians. To no end, those lives don't count. But precious Israeli lives are now on the line for a war they started.

And they're like, wait, we get to murder everyone and no one's allowed to strike us back. Yeah, sometimes things go wrong in a war. Very happy that you're finding that out, because otherwise you're going to start 100 new wars, right? They had to get to a point where they start to lose so that we could end their offensive wars that go on time and time again. What I wanted to say, though, is about Trump's comment. Great, I'll take it, man. You want to lie about how you're winning and you won and you won the greatest victory in human history and you're leaving? Great.

As long as you leave and you don't do ground troops and then Israel and Iran can deal with it however they like, okay? But our business is concluded. Donald Trump is right. We've destroyed their navy, their air force, their nuclear facilities, and every top leader they had in their regime. Let's pack up and go home. Israel and Iran, up to you guys. You do whatever the hell you like. So what are the Israeli officials telling the Washington Post?

Well, in their latest report, the Washington Post says that a few senior officials in Israel are starting to voice concern about the escalating open-ended attack on Iran and suggesting possible exit ramps that might halt the war. before it further damages the region, they mean Israel, and the global economy. And by the way, the global economy has been hurt already. I'm sure many of you have noticed at the gas pump. But nonetheless, in a telephone conversation on Sunday, a senior Israeli official familiar with the planning and strategy for the Iran war discussed alternatives to Trump's call for unconditional surrender. The official requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the Iran situation.

And this is one of the rare instances where I think the anonymity is necessary because of the fact that even when it comes to the damage Iran has done to Israel, that type of information is being censored from the media. In fact, there are consequences for anyone who dare report on the number of casualties on the Israeli side. Now, with that in mind, the Israeli official also told the Washington Post, quote, I'm not sure it's in our interest to fight until the regime is talking. to toppled, nobody wants a never ending story. Okay, they definitely want the regime to be toppled. It's just that they underestimated how challenging that would be. And as a result, Israel, at least some of the officials in the Israeli government are looking for an exit ramp before more people get killed and more damage is done to the Israelis.

This individual continues to say, we don't see anyone who can replace the regime. So the anonymous official had two big concerns. Number one, that Israel gets stuck in an endless war with Lebanon as this war is, you know, as this war with Iran drags out. And this person hilariously is also concerned that if this war with Iran continues, it could permanently damage American support for the state of Israel. That damage is done. Now, our government, that's a different story, right?

They're either paid or blackmailed. But when it comes to the American people, poll after poll now shows, it's over Israel. You've lost our support for good reason. You keep dragging our soldiers into war. We are in debt because of you. Israel has destroyed this country. And I think more and more Americans have woken up to that. Yeah, there's two more things here.

Number one, they're comical reasons that they're giving for wanting to end the war. I mean, this is rich. Okay. So one of the ones they gave was, well, you know, we're worried about the damage it's doing to our neighbors like the Gulf country. Oh, yeah. I'm super worried about the Gulf countries that you've done false flag bombings of to make it look like Iran bomb them. Yeah.

Yeah. So those Gulf countries are livid, not with Iran, but with Israel, because they thought making an alliance with Israel would protect them. With the United States would protect them. Yeah. Well, UAE also with Israel in a big, big way. Now they're realizing, oh, it turns out Israel does not have our best interests in mind. Yeah, there's snakes. Oh, you didn't see that coming, United Arab Emirates?

So enjoy it, UAE. Enjoy it. Okay, so anyways, does Israel care about you? Of course not, doesn't care about it, the Gulf region. I'm gonna get to the funniest one in a second. But them giving up on regime change is not a small news item, guys. So it like again, the government in Israel is a little bit split between the Netanyahu lunatics and the folks who are like, hey, we already got a lot of land, we already got a lot of

our mission here, we stole half of Gaza, let's get out of here before we endanger the money from America and remember we own their politicians and we own their media, but the people are angry, right? But if we just get out now, we'll be able to tell the media and the government, okay, shut everyone up again and pretend we're the good guys who chose to leave voluntarily, and partly because we care so much about America. So that leads to this hilarious quote from that same Ignatius article in the Washington Post. The Israeli officials said, quote, we won't drag the U.S. into an endless war. Right, right, right.

Quote, Israel is a reliable ally, not a burden. Right, no. Israel has been nothing but a burden. We have gotten nothing out of Israel. Israel has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from American taxpayers, driven us to debt, dragged us into endless wars in the Middle East,

and we're in a world of trouble as a result of Israel. Israel is not an ally. Israel should be seen as an enemy by the United States. by the United States government. But again, going back to the point I made earlier, they're all bought or blackmailed by the Israeli government. With that in mind, I wanna just quickly go to some of the messaging that's coming out of Iranian officials in regard to the possibility of a ceasefire, they're not buying it.

So in one post on X, they write that Trump is seeking through intermediaries to connect with us and Washington to end the war. But at the same time, he claims the opposite. Some states in interviews with American media that there is no specific timeline for ending the war, which contradicts the messages he is sending to us. The American contradiction reflects a state of chaos and deep crisis that Trump is going through, where he has found himself in a major predicament without processing a clear path out of this quagmire.

Tehran has firmly informed the intermediaries that it is not receiving any message from the American side and will not respond to it. In other words, we're not interested in negotiating for a ceasefire. So I want to go to the last paragraph here where they write that Iran has a firm and resolute stance with a strategic objective, something that the United States does not have, by the way, which is not to respond to any initiative until the Zionist entity retreats and completely collapses after all the crimes it is committed in the region and the chaos it has caused in the world.

Now on top of that, Amal Sad, who's a lecture at Cardiff University, spoke to Dropsite and said that Iran will not accept any ceasefire at this stage because what it is pursuing is not a mere end to hostilities, which can and will be easily broken by Israel in the United States, but a deterrence restoring outcome that creates the conditions for a lasting and enforceable settlement. So this is about preventing the same hostilities from happening again and again. Iran doesn't want to find itself in the same position six months from now. In other words, they They know quite well that the US and Israel, if they're looking for a ceasefire, want like a pause in the fighting so they can probably replenish their military capabilities and go right

back at it. Iran would be dumb to accept a ceasefire like that. Okay, so first on the ceasefire, Iran can easily say them, oh, we'd love to send our negotiators, but Israel already murdered them. So I guess we can't get to a peace deal because you killed the people who are interested in peace Iran. And they did that in the first attack against Iran in June. So and Israel consistently murders peace negotiators.

And now all of a sudden when they're begging for peace, oh look, we can't find any negotiators. But more importantly, guys, in the 12 day war, Iran now realizes that it made a mistake. It should not have agreed to a ceasefire. This is based on quotes that we shared with you guys earlier. And so they realized, oh, they're starting a low, running low on interceptors. And now we told you we already had spent 25% of our interceptors already, because we're already before this particular war began. That's because during the 12-day war, we use them all to defend Israel.

So of course, American defense is not that important, so we had to spend all of our money and resources protecting Israel. But Israel started to worry because they were starting to run low too, and that's why they were okay with a ceasefire at 12 days. And Iran now thinks that was a mistake, because every time we do a ceasefire, Israel never listens to it, whether it's Iran or Lebanon or the Palestinians, Israel's the Palestinians, Israel has violated every ceasefire, for example, with the Hezbollah, they have violated that ceasefire over a thousand times, over a thousand.

So they think, you know what, better to deplete their defenses completely and to keep going, because the ceasefires don't mean anything other than Israel reloading and then counterattacking again and again and again, so we're not going to fall for that. So now when you turn to why Israel's in a panic, well, they're in such a panic that Donald Trump said, We demand unilateral surrender from the Iranians. And the Israelis are like, Donald, the drones are starting to land their bombs in Tel Aviv. Ixnay on the unilateral surrender-e. So let's walk that one back because they're now worried.

Oh, my God, only others are supposed to get hurt, but now we're getting hurt. So the fact that they're telling Donald Trump to warmonger less is extraordinary and unprecedented. So that means they're really hurt. So now let's talk about the drones. So why is half the army and apparently intelligence and officials in Israel is starting to get away from Netanyahu's ideas and propose a second alternative? Because then Yahoo had the army ready to go for a ground invasion in southern Lebanon. That was part of what they were supposed to do while pretending to do self-defense in the middle of this war, right?

Oh, perfect opportunity. occupy southern Lebanon. Now in the 1980s, when they try that, that turned into a disaster. So the Israelis are a little skittish about that, because that was a rare time where they also lost a significant number of their guys. And they have no tolerance for that. They have tremendous tolerance for murdering all their neighbors. But for them, it's like almost no tolerance for casualties.

And the drones that Hezbollah is using, whatever is left of Hezbollah, is now constantly getting past the interceptors and actually doing damage inside Israel. So half the military is now like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, maybe we reel this back, collect our gains. You know, we stole a lot of land in Gaza, we've got some in Lebanon in Syria, let's consolidate our gains, right? And so honestly, that is a smarter strategy. But Nan'yahu, Bangavir, et cetera, are insatiable and they can't stop.

But so finally, you know, we get to that line that I had read you guys before where they're like, well, we don't want to drag America into endless wars, we're such a good ally. We don't want to be a burden, right? Such a joke. So the reason why they're doing that is because it is an infinitely better talking point than, well, we effed around and we found out, and now we'd like to run for our lives, right? So they want to, if they have decided, and they haven't yet decided, there's an internal battle within Israel.

If they decide to run for their lives, they're not going to say that, they're not going to say they lost the war, they're not going to say any of that stuff. Instead, they will try to frame it as, we're doing you guys a favor. You know, we're such generous people to Israelis. And after we've dragged you into endless wars, now that we're losing a little bit, you know what, we're gonna spare America any more losses. We're such a good ally. And by the way, you know every politician and everyone in national media will repeat that

garbage as if it's true from here. I'll be Anna and I will debating that on Pierce Morgan for the whole next year. Everyone will, every one of their forces, including everyone in Main Street media, will come out and go, Israel's the best ally. They just were so they didn't want America to take any more losses. No, okay, look, America should leave. And then like I said earlier, Israel and Iran, you guys keep going as long as you like. But we got no interest in this war.

We've already destroyed whatever we need to destroy. Let's get out of there. Right now, it's got nothing to do with us. Yeah, the US should definitely get out of it.

We've got other updates from the war, including some of the reasons why Iran might not want to sign a ceasefire deal with Israel, considering what they did over this past weekend. We'll be right back.

First comes strength, then comes peace. All right, back on TOT. Guys, we've got a two-minute break. Let's not a former breaks. I'll talk more about it in a second. But let me squeeze in some comments here. Moonshine Dragon said there were two stories Saturday about Iran bombing a U.S. base in UAE and killing 5,000 American troops, no way. Yet Sunday and today there is no mention?

I always have MSM would not hide the truth. And is there any truth of those articles? But we don't know, we don't know. Yeah, 5,000 troops is crazy talk. 500. He said 5,000 or 500? Yeah, he has 5,000. Oh.

Okay, but we'll see, we'll see. So there's just- They're definitely hiding the number of US casualties. But Trump wouldn't be going around going la la la la la if we lost 500 guys or anything along those lines. What do you mean? He doesn't give a damn about the loss of. No, because of appearances, not because he cares. Anyways, we'll check in on that. EMEET 2 says, not wish anyone to be killed, but I hope Iran keeps bombing the crap out of Israel. Even if Israel wants to call a truce, they need to get a taste of their own medicine because they're still bombing Lebanon.

So look guys, I don't want any civilian casualties on any side. But a country that starts a war, if they pay a price, they are less likely to start the next one. And Israel has shown an appetite for infinite wars as long as they don't pay a price. So, you know, there's a silver lining there. Let's put it that way at a minimum. Mangus Dragon says, did those folks who are part of mainstream corporate own media go to a different kind of journalism school? Yeah, they went to the one that said kiss the ass and the powerful and do not write things that are true. B.S.1954 said Anna's looking good, but it was a little early for a summer dress, just saying.

All right, let's get right to our next story.

Israeli military struck several of Iran's oil sites on Saturday, which led to balls of fire, toxic smoke, and acid rain in Tehran, and its neighboring city of Karaj. Now, Tehran is a city of 10 million lives, and now those lives are in jeopardy as this acid rain falls on them. Jank, does this look like liberation to you? Yeah, so we're gonna talk about the damage that it not only did to Tehran. I mean, that dark cloud is so symbolic of what Israel has done to the Middle East and the world.

But we're also gonna talk about the economic damage that it has done here at home, which is a double whammy. And so, but finally, of course, what Anna is referring to. And so keep that in mind as we're telling you the whole story. This is from the people who claimed, oh, we're doing this because we wanna have to have. help the Iranian people out of the goodness of our hearts. Yeah, the Persian diaspora that's comfortably living in Beverly Hills, California, calling for this, I just want to be very clear, despite their threats against me, you're among the worst people on the planet.

Okay, as you live in your mansions in Beverly Hills, California, and just like sit there and enjoy the Iranian people dealing with this terror that you called for, that you cheer led for. You're among the worst people on the planet. But anyway, let me continue. So Tehran's main oil refinery is next to one of the storage facilities, oil storage facilities, in the city's southern Sahar Raid district, which was attacked, and that's according to state media. Also the Saharan oil depot in northwestern Tehran, which Israel targeted last June, was struck yet again. And these attacks came after Israel struck Iran's busiest airport in Mirabad.

Now Netanyahu on Saturday said that the US Israeli bombing campaign in Iran would continue unabated and that the moment of truth was nearing for Iranians to overthrow their government. He advocated the overthrow of the regime as Israeli TV reported that Israel was optimistic about such an outcome. I think that they're bluffing because I don't see where the optimism would come from. There's absolutely no sign of any type of civil war, any type of battle within the Iranian population or community. And it seems like the IRCG was really prepared for a day like today.

Now Netanyahu also said that Israel has an organized plan with many surprises for the next phases of the war with Iran to destabilize the regime to enable change. Now, unclear what his big surprise is. One thing that I do know is that there have been some rumors that the Israelis have considered using tactical nukes against Iran. So when we have a conversation about irrational foreign actors who have nuclear capabilities, I think Israel should be at the top of that list. Now, Iran's ministry of oil said in a statement that multiple oil storage depots in the provinces

of Tehran and Al-Bahors has been targeted, Israel has actually taken responsibility for this. They're not trying to hide it at all. They claim that the oil storage depots were bombed because they were supposedly being used by Iran's armed forces. So it's just, you know, a repeat of what we saw in Gaza. We're bombing everything because of Hamas. And in this case, we're bombing everything, including oil infrastructure, which is devastating to the global oil markets because of the military in Iran. Amir, a businessman who had taken his wife and two children to the countryside from Tehran for safety, says that it's getting to the point where we feel no place is safe.

And even the roads leading in and out of the city are dangerous because targets around them are attacked. Sounds like liberation to me. Shireen, a 36 year old dentist, told the New York Times that she and her family decided to remain in Tehran, but they are very scared. In fact, she says, quote, I want the war to end immediately. I'm surprised that the New York Times printed that. But let me continue. The New York Times also laughably claimed that the US and Israel's attacks on Iran's oil facilities is unusual, super unusual. You know, given how careful they've been when it comes to bombing certain, you know,

facilities and civilian sites, this is an actual excerpt from their piece. Until this weekend, the U.S. Israeli bombing campaign had been largely focused on ravaging Iran's leadership and security services and police stations while also trying to eliminate its ability to produce and launch missiles and prevent Tehran from being able to produce nuclear weapons. Now, they forget that their own publication just confirmed that the United States was responsible for bombing that elementary school, killing 175 people, most of whom were little girls. Furthermore, let's take a look at this headline. This is from the BBC, something we reported on last week. Iranian schools, hospital and landmarks among civilian sites

hit during U.S. Israeli strikes. 10 hospitals have been struck by U.S. and Israeli strikes. So the idea that these types of structures are not being targeted is laughable to say the least. Later in the piece though, the New York Times admits that Iranian media and residents have reported widespread destruction to residential homes, shops, roads, water pipes, and several hospitals and schools located near target sites. Now, Barack Ravid, you know, a former member of Israeli intelligence and the IDF, published his usual slop to make us think that the US is dismayed that the Israelis had targeted Iranian oil depots. You know, Trump is, you know, Netanyahu's bitch if you ask me, so I don't believe he's

dismayed at all. He will do as he's told. Plus, both the United States and Israel confirmed that the US was notified that the strikes were gonna take place before they took place. So I don't believe for a second that Trump is dismayed about anything. Trump will do as he's told by the Israelis. But a US official said that the US military, was surprised by how wide ranging they were, meaning the Israeli strikes on Iran's oil infrastructure. We don't think it was a good idea, senior U.S. official said. An Israeli official said the U.S. message to Israel was WTF. So what the, you get the point.

Now, striking Iran's fuel infrastructure absolutely does backfire. In fact, you see Iranians rallying to support the regime. Usually when foreign actors come in and attack your country, that tends to have. happen. And in fact, here's a video of a massive crowd of Iranians who gathered to celebrate the country's new Ayatollah, new leader, Mostaba Khomeini. Take a look. Good job, America. Jenk, back to you. Yeah. So first, I want to note a couple things that animation. So there's this like shock and chagrin that Israel is not listening to us. We told them not to bomb the oil facilities, but they bombed them anyway. Of course, why are you shocked by that?

Israel never listens to us and Israel always lies. But every time New York Times and all of them are like, wow, what a shocking development, our beloved Israel for the first time ever has done something slightly wrong. Come on, man. And then Bill Maher this weekend complaining about, you know, the New York Times is so against Israel. Right.

You know why? Because he's like, oh my God, like normally, he doesn't say this, of course, but it's between the lines. print exactly what the Israelis have asked for in propaganda, but one or two lines don't match up this time. I have both scripts, why aren't they doing 200% Israeli propaganda? Okay, so speaking of propaganda, look at how they wrote it, right? And the quotes that I read to you earlier.

When it's us or Israel saying something, New York Times used this language. The US Israeli bombing campaign had been largely focused on, et cetera, et cetera. So they don't say could have been, US says, Israel says, they say that is what it was, okay? When they go to reports of that not being true, and in fact bombing schools, hospitals, etc., they instead use the language of Iranian media and residents have reported, right? I mean, the Iranians have reported. Well, it's your job to confirm either way, isn't it? And so instead of confirming, they write it as if the Israelis and the Americans are definitely

telling the truth, and these Iranians say that they were just murdered, whatever, right? And that's why Marz upset. Don't say that! Don't even report what the Iranians say. They're subhuman, they're not Israelis, right? So that's what they get animated. So I wanted to read a couple of members quotes, because they're going to relate to what I'm going to say next.

Okay, so Eddie Jameson is a member on YouTube. You could hit the join button below, become a part of the show this way. And he said, I'm struggling with going about my everyday life with my tax dollars or being used to bomb critical infrastructure and shower millions of people in oil contaminated rain, making land uninhabitable. So that goes to the point that Anna made there, and I want to double down on. And you saw that giant crowd, right, in the square. And so we were told by the liars, not just in Israel first, not just by our disgusting

politicians who served the donor class, but also by the great majority of our media. Israel says this is for the Iranian people. And you know what, we're gonna be greeted as liberators. The minute we attack just like in Iraq, the Iranian people are cheering. You remember all those stories? Oh my God, they're so happy that I told us that. In fact, Bill Maher, his chief actual literal example that he used was, I have read that 90% of Iranians were thrilled that Ayatollah was killed, but that's not what the New York

Times is reporting. Can you believe how wrong they are? Bill, does that look like 90% were celebrating that the Ayatollah got killed? No, you moron, when you drop bombs on people's heads, they do not root for you. They rally around the flag. You'd have to be, have like, I don't even want to besmirch children by saying a childlike innocence, because there is no innocence there, he's lying all the time to help Israel, right? So no, they didn't rally around America and Israel because we started killing their children.

I mean, we have to explain this to the simpletons that we did, I have to get through so many debates where I have to argue, no, Israel's not doing this for the benefit of the Iranian people. Now is Piers Morgan and everyone that we've ever been on these shows, are they going to go, Obviously the Israelis were lying because look at how much damage they did to Iran, Tehran, their civilians, they did it on purpose, they did it to poison them. And now everyone is waking up in Tehran the next day and everything is covered in black. Because once the rain falls, you saw CNN actually did a good job, credit where credit is due. And their reporter there was showing you the cars, the buildings all draped in black from

the sutt, right? So Tehran, they're waking up furious with Israel in America. They're not furious with the Shah, with the Ayatollah anymore. Okay, we ruined that. If you wanted actual regime change that was going to lead to democracy in Iran, this was deeply counterproductive. One more member, sorry, this is a super chat. Elliot ZP said American here, but born and raised in Iran.

Against this war with every fiber, but I know Iran and I'm worried about Moshaba. He was ruthless before he lost all his family, now got to help Iranians. So that goes to the last point I was gonna make. So the guy who took over, Hameini's son now, he lost his dad, which was Hamani, okay. He lost his mom. His wife. He lost his sister. He lost his wife.

He lost his son. He lost a nephew, a niece, and a brother-in-law. And he got wounded in that same bomb. So he was already a hardliner. The morons in Israel and morons like Lindsey Graham and John Fetterman in both parties, told us, oh, once we murder their leaders, we're going to get leaders that will listen to Donald Trump unconditionally. We'll do everything that we order them to do.

Instead, we now have a leader that is significantly worse in charge of the regime, much more brutal, much more radical, and now seething with hatred for Israel and America after we murdered most of his family. So never, ever listen to warmongers, never listen to neocons, never listen to mainstream media. never listen to our scum politicians and never ever make the mistake of believing in Israeli. This Israeli government is the most biggest liars in the world. And now the regime in Iran is worse, not better.

The Iranian people are furious. And we've gotten ourselves into an intractable war, all because of Israel. All right, let's pivot to the other part of this story. Because our government seems to be upset. with embarrassing the American people and I want to give you the latest example of that. So further embarrassing the American people, President Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America, not of Israel, is apparently deferring. I'm sorry, yes, deferring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on whether the war

against Iran will end or when it'll end. Of course. So according to the Times of Israel, the US President was asked whether he he alone would decide when the war with Iran ends or if Netanyahu would also have a say. Number one, the framing of that question tells you everything you need to know about the Israeli press and what they're, you know, trying to push for here. But nonetheless, Trump did respond to that question saying, I think it's mutual a little bit. We've been talking, I'll make a decision at the right time, but everything's going to be taken into account, he responded,

indicating that while Netanyahu will have input, the US president will have the final say. I don't believe that for a second. I think the person who always has the final say in our effed up corrupt government and, you know, system, there's no question that whatever the Israelis want, Trump is going to fulfill it, okay? That's how how we got dragged into this nonsensical war to begin with. Now, the US president said that he wasn't surprised by how widespread support for the Iran, how widespread the support for the Iran war is in Israel, joking that the only thing more popular there is his own favorables.

In other words, he's bragging about how popular he is in Israel, while his approval rating here in the United States keeps falling lower and lower and lower because he promised no war and we got dragged into a war with a foreign country, not for us, but on behalf of Israel. Asked whether Israel would continue the war against Iran even after the U.S. decides to halt its airstrikes, Trump declined to entertain the theoretical possibility before adding, I don't think it's going to be necessary. We're always going to have Israel's best interests in mind, in other words. And Trump does seem concerned about the fate of a foreign country, certainly more so than he is

over the fate of his own country. He says, Iran was going to destroy Israel and everything else around it. We've worked together. We've destroyed a country that wanted to destroy Israel. Well, the latest reports indicate that the US is looking for an exit strategy. There are some in the Israeli government, high level officials who are also looking for an exit strategy because Israel is badly hurt. But nonetheless, I do want to just kind of juxtapose how embarrassing our president is with, you know, a leader who actually has the best interests of his own people at mind.

And that's the foreign minister of Iran who was interviewed by NBC over the weekend. Let's hear what he had to say. Will Iran agree to unconditional surrender for the sake of bringing this war to an end, Mr. Foreign Minister? Well, this is what he asked previous time last year in June, that when Israel started to attack us, we know President Trump used the same phrase, unconditional surrender. That was a tweet he made.

And that didn't happen. We resisted and after 12 days Israelis asked for unconditional ceasefire. So we never give up, we never surround and we

continue to resist as long as it takes, we continue to defend ourselves and we are defending our territory, our people and our dignity. and our dignity is not for sale. That last line is the line that resonated with me the most. It would be great to have leaders here in the U.S.

who say to their donors, to blackmailers, my dignity is not for sale. But unfortunately, we don't live in that society. Yeah. So not the American voters, the American population, but American politicians, their dignity is for sale 24-7 and not just to do. Israel, you come along with big pharma checks, oil checks, et cetera. They have no dignity at all. Those are the worst people in the country.

They're the ones who raised their hand and said, I have no principles or morals. I will work for bribes that you pay me and I will betray all of my voters for you, right? So, I mean, look at Donald Trump. He admitted right there. He's like, oh, we destroyed a country that wanted to destroy Israel. Okay, so this was for Israel. Like, please stop pretending that it was anything else. I'm hearing a lot of like, well, you know, Jake, it could have been 98% for Israel, but 2% for something else.

It could maybe, well, maybe there was a thing to consider it about Chinese oil. No, no, it was 100% for Israel. And they keep saying it over and over and over again. And no matter how many times Trump says it, the Israeli say it, et cetera, our media comes back to, well, no, no, no, you can't ever blame Israel. No, I blame Israel for this war. Everyone on planet Earth blames Israel for this war, because it is exceedingly obvious. They started this war unilaterally, okay? So now, and then the question of, are you gonna consult with Netanyahu on what to do with

this war? I mean, imagine if we're in some war and our main ally there, is this another small country, Israel is a very small country, right? is Tajikistan, right? And Trump's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I got to ask the leaders of the Tajik's before I do anything, because the Tajik's are so important. I mean, we'd all laugh that you would never say that, right?

But when it comes to the Israelis, oh, do it. Oh, please, wait, wait, wait, I haven't checked with my boss yet. I've got to check with that, you'll find out if he's still got the pictures in the videos, right? So, yeah, these guys run us. And that's why today, as we said in the beginning of the show, when Trump started talking about, well, the war might be over sooner than you think. I was like, is he going to defy the Israelis? That doesn't seem possible.

And we found out later in the day, no, the Israelis are panicking and telling Trump, stop talking about unilateral surrender. We got to get out of here. We're running out of defensive missiles. Oh, now you found out that a war might go both ways. Oh, oh, so sorry to hear about that. I know that you, like, a lot of people are like, no, no. You should be super sad about what's happening to Israel.

No, I'm not. Not even a little bit. They wanted this, so congratulations. You got what you wanted. So Israeli population, I would love to go back to loving you, okay? That's never gonna happen. I believe in humanity and I believe we're all the same. What we have to do is stop voting for warmongers who constantly attack everyone around you.

And you have to stop taking other people's land. God is not your servant. They're not capable of that, Jake. They're gonna continue doing it. So Jenk and I are a little different, okay? I would like to decouple from Israel. Decouple entirely, no more money, no more support, period. Period.

No, I agree with that. 100%. And I have no interest in helping Israel or the Israelis. It's that simple. They've already sucked the life out of our country. Anyway, we gotta take a break. When we come back, we'll talk about the economic pain. We're feeling globally as a result of this ridiculous war.

So let's go to Super Chat. Tynab Olympus writes in, love you two. to want to let you know that what you do has an effect. My buddy from the Army days has been converted to reason by both of you independently, send clips of you both daily and has turned away from the Trump cult. That's awesome, thank you for letting us know that. We appreciate it. LAZP wrote back in, Anna, the monarchists not only attack you, but viciously attack any of us if

we try to say a word about this madness. Don't be afraid of them. Yeah, and he says their definition of democracy, right? Yeah, they're clowns, don't be afraid of them. They're the kinds of people who like salivate over the thought of innocent civilians in Iran getting bombed to death. Okay, they're not moral people, they're bad people and they think they're gonna shut people like us up by like literally sending the most vile death threats imaginable.

Yeah, and those guys, they think they're not, I don't care about the Iranian people. They don't. Okay, the expats in Beverly Hills are like, I'm gonna go back and make more money. I used to make a lot of money in Iran, they want more of the money. Oh, you're killing all the Iranian Muslims? Who cares? cares about them. Kill them, bomb their oil facilities, put our king back in. The Shah, the dictator that Israel wants. No, no thank you. You can shove that shower where the sun

don't shine. Oh, cry me a river about your stupid dictator. Anyway, America 1776 USA says, finally found a channel full of people truly want the best for the USA. Yes. Feels good to be here. Tynti Rainbow, TiT, TiT Rainbow. Love it. We'll be back. Back on TYT, Janganana with you guys, more news. We do have a story. That's somewhat breaking, the confirmation of it is breaking, but it was developing last week. So let's get to it. Turns out that Baselel Smotridge's son has been badly injured after an attack near Lebanon took place. So this is according to Al Jazeera, although the Times of Israel had confirmed on Friday

that shrapnel did strike Basel Smotrich's son. Now we just know the extent of the injuries and they look pretty bad. So in a post on X, Smotridge said a mortar round was launched toward the soldiers on the Lebanese border on Friday. One of them is my beloved son, Benya Hebron, he wrote. So apparently the shrapnel penetrated his back and stomach and he was rushed to the hospital. Here's a quote from Smotridge, he says, by the grace of God, one of these shrapnel tore through his liver and lodged in the wall of his largest blood vessel in his stomach.

If God forbid it had been damaged, the situation would have been much worse. So we don't have any updates on whether or not his condition has improved in any way or if he's expected to survive the injuries. But sounds like a pretty big deal. There are also all sorts of unconfirmed reports guys about how Netanyahu's brother has been killed. not been confirmed. We are keeping an eye on the story. We know that there's a lot of censorship in Israel to prevent news like that from getting out. But if it does get confirmed, of course,

we're going to report it and share it with you immediately. Yeah. Oh, Smotrich's family has been hurt. Oh. So here's the guy who reveled in murdering 20,000 children in Gaza. So when he was doing that, there was talk of Almelech and you kill all the men, women, and children, and babies. And now his son is hurting all of a sudden tears. Okay. Well, maybe next time you don't push your country and our country into endless disastrous wars. Israel thought they were above the law. And now we got Iron Dome, we got America, we got this giant military, we got nukes.

We can just kill, kill, kill, take more land, take more land. drive everybody into more wars and there'll be no consequences for us. Well tonight they're finding out there are consequences. So I'm sure they'll cry and cry over it. So I would like to see them shed one tear for the 20,000 dead kids in Gaza before we get to whether we should be concerned about his son. They won't, so I won't shed any tears for them. I mean, this is, this is what war is.

So. And that's what Israel said the whole time. Oh, this is what war is. So what? Oh yeah, well, you shouldn't have started it. Well, you started it with Lebanon, you started it, you started it. Should be, would be like the Israelis? The suit, like, anyway, all right, enjoy your casualties. Hey, I didn't start the war. It was your stupid idea. And so, let me say the same thing that the Israeli anchor said that Anna quoted on Fiers Morgan. Heaven forbid it was an American, so thank God it wasn't an American, it was just an Israeli.

I actually genuinely believe that. Anyway, let's get to our next story. Now, with respect to what's happening with gas prices right now, this is a short-term disruption for the long-term gain of taking out the rogue Iranian terrorist regime. There's going to be some short-term pain for American consumers until the Iranians are defanged, which we hope is within just a few weeks. There's going to be some short-term pain, but I can assure you it's going to be for the benefit of the long-term gain. This price increase is going to be temporary,

and it is a small price to pay for the idea that we're going to take, get rid of the terrorist regime. Where are my gloves? Come on, heat. Winter is hard, but your groceries don't have to be. This winter, stay warm. Tap the banner to order your groceries online at walla.com. Enjoy in-store prices without leaving your home.

You'll find the same regular prices online as in-store. Many promotions are available both in store and online, though some may vary. Well, it certainly appears as though Trump's lap dogs have received their talking points now that the economy is feeling the pain over this war against Iran, which has destroyed oil infrastructure and is going to lead to increased prices at the pump, which of course trickles down to increased prices everywhere else. So enjoy your inflation, everybody. Now, Jank, before I continue, your two cents. Yeah, so Israel is now panicking because they're worried they're going to lose the war. So the markets have fluctuated. But initially, when we saw the oil facilities being bombed, oil went through the roof, and that was going to cause significant damage to the issue of affordability here in America.

And hence, political damage to Trump and his party. And then the stock market went down. So this is not a concern about the Iranian people and what you know, the cancel they'll get from that oil or all the damage we've done to the innocent civilians of Iran. This is all about, oh my God, it might have consequences for us. Can you believe that things go badly in a war? Yes, that's why we told you not to go into it. Give them the details. So before I continue with the details and the data, I just want to remind you all that oil was about $70 roughly a barrel before the war began.

Now it's over $100 a barrel. And I just really want to emphasize how incompetent our leaders are. Because anyone, including us, by the way, could have predicted. And we did predict what would happen economically speaking if this war happened. Now that the war is happening, everything we predicted is playing out. But we'll never get credit for it, right? We'll still be put on the same playing field as absolute clowns like a fitness guru like Jillian who's still running her mouth about geopolitics, even though she has no idea what she's talking about.

But nonetheless, I continue. Yesterday, President Donald Trump, you know, gave his lapdogs their talking points, as I mentioned earlier. So he posted on social media, short-term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over. It's a very small price to pay for USA and world safety and peace. Only fools would think differently, President Donald J. Trump, well, you are a fool, okay? Getting dragged into this war, which is quickly turning into a quagmire, was disastrous. And it looks like now Trump is possibly looking for an off-ramp. Now meanwhile, prices have spiked since the Iran war began.

So US crude futures shot up 65, I'm sorry, 36% last week. Their biggest surge since the market began in 1983, after Trump's call on Friday for Iran's unconditional surrender, prices rose more than they have on a single day since rebounding from the pandemic crash in 2020. They rose another 20% after markets opened on Sunday evening. And this morning, the American people woke up to oil prices of over $100 per barrel. Prices are rising because Iran had been threatening to attack any ship that travels through the Strait of Hormuz. Now, the update to that is Iran is now, signaling that they will allow all ships belonging to Europe or, you know, Arab states

to go through the Strait of Hormuz without any problem. The only exception is U.S. ships and Israeli ships, which you can understand given the fact that they were attacked by the United States and Israel. Now about 20% of the world's oil and gas passes through the Strait of Hormuz, which is why that straight is incredibly important. And Israel has been bombing Iran's oil infrastructure, which of course, course is leading to an uptick in the price of oil per barrel. Since Iran has threatened to attack any ship that enters the Strait of Hormuz, the strait, Kuwait, Iraq, and the UAE had basically

slowed oil production or stopped entirely. Hopefully they begin oil production now that they're getting promises and commitments from Iran that they will allow them to pass without being attacked. Now the U.S. has promised to ensure the safety of any ships traveling through the strait, which I think is an interesting claim to make, considering the fact that the U.S. has been unable to defend our allies in the Gulf region. But other countries have yet to take him up on that offer, probably because they don't trust him. Trump is pretty unhappy about that, by the way. Take a look. So I asked him, how do you get that, how do you get the prices down? I know how much you care about oil and gas. And he says, tell these tankers to get themselves, get to it.

We've wiped out most of their launchers. Here's exactly what he's. said, these ships should go through the Strait of Hermuz and show some guts. There's nothing to be afraid of. They have no Navy. We sunk all their ships. He went on to say, he said, look, yeah, there's risk in the region. The region's volatile. They are launchers. There's just about 150 left. That's just about 20% of totals. They can't regenerate. They can't make any more. And we are in the region, we're ready to act quickly on all these types of attacks. Now, I think they're going to get some additional naval assets in there to do some escorting. But there was a tanker that came through last night yesterday.

Successfully. Yeah, successfully. No problem. Well, look, a few ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz since the beginning of the war, but it's too risky, which is why, you know, the transport of oil through the strait has basically like stopped, right? You'll get a few ships here and there, but not enough anywhere near what we used to get. Jank, that's a panicky tone from Trump.

Yeah, show some courage. Just go through even though you might. might die. No, no, no, the companies that are involved here are not part of the war. So they're not going to be like, oh yeah, we'll risk not just their employees that are on the ship, the human beings that are on the ship, but all the supplies that are on the ship. That's a ton of money. And you want us to risk that for so that we could help your war effort to look better? No, no, we're a company. Our only job is to maximize profit. So you're So go pound sand, right?

By the way, if I was them, I tell Trump, oh yeah, yeah, we'd love to go through the Strait of Hormuz. You first though. So you come on one of our ships and escorted through the Strait of Hormuz and we'll believe you that it's safe. Put Hagsith on one ship, Marubio on another, and Trump and Vance on the third and fourth ones, and we'll definitely go through the Strait of Hormuz, we'll believe you that it's perfectly safe. Oh, you don't want to do that. You want us to risk our lives? Yeah, no, I don't think so, right?

And guys, so yeah, now we're backpedaling because we're losing and we're running out of defensive missiles. But what if Iran doesn't stop? And Iran goes, no, America, you're free to leave. We'll see you guys later. But no, I'm blocking the Strait of Hormuz. I got every right to do that. You launched a war against me. This is one of the places where I have leverage.

And the longer the American economy is hurt, the bigger the advantage for Iran, right? So they're not going to do us any favors. we just started killing them. We killed all of their leaders. Like we have no right to ask for anything. Guys, and remember, prior to this war beginning, Iran in their negotiations with the United States, try to sweeten the pot, sweeten the deal by saying, look, we will open up our oil to the United States. So this will be more than just a peace deal or peace agreement.

we will, you know, forge new business agreements with the United States that would benefit the United States economically. The only reason why we have a bad relationship with Iran is because of our alliance with Israel. So just keep that in mind as our people suffer and our soldiers get dragged into a war that doesn't benefit the United States in any way, shape, or form. By the way, one more thing you guys should know, the press almost never mentions. Israel now has an energy fuel called Leviathan, okay?

And before they didn't have any oil, and so we would do great damage to ourselves by attacking all these countries that do have oil on behalf of Israel, right? And that was a problem for us. But now part of the reason they're blowing up the storage facilities that have oil in them is because Israel would like to sell oil and gas to Europe and to other places. And so that made me wonder too who blew up that pipeline between Ukraine, between Russia and Europe. in Europe. Yeah. Because Leviathan has been in the works for a long time and that field just opened up. And now they're like, the Israelis are like, don't worry about the Iranians or the Russians.

You buy our stuff. Oh, look at that. We happen to bomb their oil. God, it's just evil country. Anyway, you reminded me of something else. So right now, Russia is helping Iran by providing them with Intel. And the US knows it, everyone knows it, it's been admitted. However, at the same time, Trump kind of had no choice but to help Russia, because India is

hurting, needs oil. And so they're like, please let us buy oil from Russia. Trump's like, sure. So India, our ally is buying oil from Russia as Russia provides intel to Iran. Trump is a total incompetent buffoon. Come on, guys, come on, you just have to keep it real. The truth is the truth and the truth is real bad for this administration. Anyway, we do need to take a break when we come back.

We'll talk a little bit about how Trump is getting his advice from some of the worst people on the planet, including Senator Lindsey Graham, who I'm really beginning to think has been compromised by the Israelis. Maybe they have compromise on him, who knows? I think one of his quotes might accidentally show that. I think you guys will really enjoy that. Because he's always in a panic when it comes to defending Israel or doing Israel's bidding. Yeah, there's some guys that are so over the top. Him, Federman, Richie Torres, RFK Jr., that make me go, hmm.

So tyt.com slash connect, it doesn't cost you anything if you're already

a YouTube member. All right, Anna. Let's get to our next story. They're going to lose and we're going to win. Israel and the United States, you just wait to see what comes in the next two weeks. The next two weeks, meaning what? We're gonna blow the hell out of these people. This regime is in a death row now. It is gonna be on its knees. It's going to fall. And when it falls, we're gonna have peace like another time.

We're going to blow the hell out of these people, Senator Lindsey Graham says of the Iranians, which doesn't really sound like liberation to me, Jank. Yeah, so first we started with, oh, we're doing it to help. the Iranian people, now we're gonna blow the hell out of them. Although to be fair, Lindsay might not mean kill them. Lindsay Graham saying we're going to blow the hell out of there. Oh my God, Jank. And he talked about people being on their knees.

I don't know. I don't know, the people are asking. Maybe he does want to help the Iranian people. So I know he's helped the Israelis plenty by doing that. Don't threaten him with a good time. All right. Okay, all right. Now in that same interview, Senator Graham also,

admitted that he worked with Israel to rope Donald Trump into this disastrous war, which is already hurting the economy and is deeply unpopular with the American people. Now Megan McCain was so horrified by that clip of Lindsey Graham that she wrote this on social media. I've known Lindsey Graham since I was a child. I am imploring anyone who will listen in the Trump administration to stop sending this man out as a surrogate, he is scaring people and doing damage to whatever message you're trying to sell to the American public about the Iran war. Now, Megan Kelly was equally disturbed.

Take a look. This guy is a homicidal maniac with a bloodlust that is insatiable, but this guy should be nowhere near President Trump. He should not be allowed within 20 feet of the president's orbit. And the president should make the decision to keep this guy the hell away from. from him or at least in his own mind shut down his influence. This is not a force for good in the United States of America. Lindsay Graham.

I actually disagree. I think Lindsey Graham does something that we don't get enough of from other elected politicians and lawmakers. He tells the truth. I mean, he tells the truth when it comes to how like bloodthirsty he is. He tells the truth when it comes to how this war against Iran had nothing to do with liberating the Iranian people. And in his statements, he makes it clear to me that there's something about Lindsey Graham.

He seems to be compromised by the Israelis because no one is this bloodthirsty and this ridiculous on a regular basis in public. But you know, you watch Lindsey Graham, he's ridiculous on a regular basis in public. Now the senator made other revealing comments, jank, to the Wall Street Journal last week in a piece titled Lindsey Graham's quest to say. sell Trump on striking Iran. Here are a few excerpts worth knowing about. Graham liked to play a little word association game with the president.

Quote, I say Franklin Roosevelt, what do you say? The Republican senator from South Carolina asked. The correct answer, you have nothing to fear but fear itself. As he tick through memorable presidential phrases, Graham asked Trump what his phrase would be. Trump said he didn't know. Graham recalled, keep protesting, help is on the way, Graham suggested, referring to Trump's social media post in January, urging Iranians to confront their government, which got a lot of people killed, I hear.

Graham reminded Trump about ripping up Obama's Iran nuclear deal. This was Trump's moment to make history, Graham argued to the president. What's devastating about this, jank, is something that we've known for a long time, but most Americans are waking up to, which is the fact that Donald Trump, because of his ego, and because of the fact that he likes to have his ego stroked, is easy to manipulate. And Lindsey Graham is manipulating him successfully. Ding, ding, ding. So I have an excellent example of how they manipulate Donald Trump in a second.

But first, Megan Kelly and all, everybody is totally right about Lindsey Graham. Also right about Ted Cruz. They don't help the Republican cause at all. Every time they're on the screen, like people start flipping over to independent and Democrat every minute they're on the screen, right? So, and then in terms of Israel first, please keep putting Mark Lev in, Rabbi Shmuli and Laura Lumer out there. Yes.

Okay, because it just makes Israel more and more unpopular. You're doing us a great service by having those be your main representatives in America. Keep going. All right, now, in terms of how we got pushing this war in the first place, which is the essence of this story. Unfortunately, it's so easy to manipulate Donald Trump. So first of all of our politicians, we don't know to what degree it's just the money, and it's definitely the money, right? Top donor to Trump is the Israeli lobby over $300 million. Lindsay Graham, millions of dollars from APEC in the Israeli lobby. Or if it's blackmail, I don't really know or care.

I just care that they serve us and not a foreign government. And now looking back on it, you say, well, Lindsey Graham was always a neocon, right? But wait a minute, has Lindsay Graham ever said we should invade North Korea, which actually did develop nukes and is far more dangerous? He might have. No, no, before they developed nukes. Not that I know of, he's never been on TV going, oh my God, we're going to attack North Korea. Every single time he's been on TV, it's attack Israel's neighbors, attack Israel's neighbors. Oh, okay, Iraq war, Iran war, same script, same weapons of mass destruction that's fake. The same, oh, we're here to help the Iranian and Iraqi people, let's bomb the hell out of them, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you liar, you disgusting pig.

All right, now let's talk about the beginning of the war. So New York Times actually, again, I love giving credit where credit is due, and they had a really interesting piece about how this war got started. And I learned a couple of things from it. Okay, so number one, did Israel push America into war like Marco Rubio said, hey, we're going to attack if we'd, et cetera. Yes, New York Times also confirms from White House officials, Israel said, We're going to attack and you'll be caught off guard and then you'll lose more American soldiers. So you better do as we're telling you. Disgusting.

Okay. Disgusting deplorable government. Yeah, now if we had strong leadership, ones that were not compromised, that's when you would grab the Israeli official by the ear and you would walk him out of the White House and you would never let another Israeli darken the doorstep of the White House. What did you say to me, you're gonna get my American soldiers killed? And you think that's threatening me? And you call yourself an ally, you'd like another couple hundred billion dollars? No, hell no, right? But since almost all of our politicians are compromised, Donald Trump said, oh, okay, sorry, sir, I'm so sorry, we'll go right away, we'll go right away, okay?

So, but it's interesting is, in fact, Donald Trump was so interested in going right away, and the Israelis slowed him down. Now, why did the Israelis slow him down, especially in the middle of, that was in the middle of the Iranian protest, the one that Lindsey Graham just referenced. So Lindsay Graham was like, oh, we have to save those Iranians that are protesting. Nanjahou apparently called Trump and said, hey, our defenses aren't ready yet. Do you understand what the implication of that is? Let those protesters die.

Even though Mossad had said they were in the streets starting it, right? And getting those guys killed, Israel said, oh, no, no, no, we might lose one or two extra people because our defenses aren't perfectly ready. So let the Iranian protesters that were using as a gimmick and a talking point, let them all die. Wait, don't go yet, we wanna get a couple more missiles ready, defensive missiles. Okay, so that's who the Israelis are. But the main trick was to set impossible standards.

They said, now Donald, you're such a big, strong guy. You don't wanna be a spectator to history, that was a quote that they often used, right? And so what you wanna do is, you can get them to to get rid of all their uranium, including their stockpiles, and go down to zero enrichment. Iran has said from day one, we will never do that. You will get them to turn over all their ballistic missiles. Iran has said, no, we're not gonna turn over all of our missiles. And you can get them to do a regime change and take themselves out and lose power and just

put your guy in. Now, if our president wasn't a moron, he'd say, guys, those things are impossible. It looks like you're leading me into a trap where I'll be seen. I said that we can get all these things done, but we can't get him done. So now I'm in a forever war, just like you guys wanted. Oh, but Trump, not bright enough to figure that out. So they goaded him and goaded him. And by the way, what's really interesting, guys, it's not just the Israelis.

The main people goading him are the Israelis plus his own advisors who are almost all bought off by Israel. So they're whispering in his ear, yeah, yeah, Israel's right. You're so big and tough and strong, Donald. You could do all of this. They'll bend a knee to you. They'll do unilateral surrender. Go in, Donald, go in, go in.

And finally, J.D. Vance, the guy who's supposed to be the most reluctant for war, apparently they were considering either limited strikes, try to scare around one more time, or go full invasion. And J.D. Vance convinced Trump to go full invasion. I knew it. Okay, he said, go big and go fast. and send in everything. So no, J.D. Vance was not anti-war. It turned out at a critical moment, he was the most pro-war.

Remember, he's created in a petri dish by Peter Thiel. Peter Teal is one of the founders of Palantir, deeply connected to Israel and the surveillance and police state that we saw in Gaza and are now seeing at home. Deeply connected to profiting off of war, okay? The guy who created J.D. Vance and funded him in a petri dish is the guy who profits off of war, anyone who tries to lie to you about what J.D. Vance's actual agenda is, make sure you follow the money. You don't even have to trust us, just follow the money, because money talks in this country, believe me. All right, I want to reset to just talk a little bit about

the response to Lindsey Graham from Khalif Ahmad al-Haptur, okay? So over the weekend, And over the weekend, Senator Lindsey Graham called on other countries in the Middle East to join the war against Iran. Take a look. Are you telling us you want the United Arab Emirates and the Saudis to lash out and strike Iran right now? I want them to get in the fight. We sell them weapons.

Iran is striking their country. They have good capability about the strait of her moons. What if the regime fell? Then you never had anybody in Iran in the future that wants to close the straight. What if you had Iran with people who don't want to build a nuclear weapon to kill us all? Our own intelligence indicates that the Iranian regime is nowhere close to falling. But nonetheless, Kalaf Ahmad al-Habtur, a billionaire from the UAE, wrote a fiery response to Senator Graham. The following was translated from Arabic by GROC, so God help us here.

Okay, hopefully it's correct. But here's what he said. We know full well why we are under attack. And we also know who dragged the entire region into this dangerous escalation without consulting those he calls his allies. Senator Graham, you may be a senator from the United States Senate, but anyone who hears your statements might think you're a member of the Israeli Knesset because you defend Israel's interests more than you defend the interests of the American people.

themselves. That is exactly right. He continues, though. We will not enter this war to serve the interests of others, nor will we sacrifice our sons in a conflict that could have been avoided through diplomacy and political solutions. It'd be great if we had leaders in our country who thought in a similar way, but unfortunately we don't. We have policymakers and an executive branch that's fully captured by the Israeli government and we'll do the Israeli government's bidding. So we find ourselves in this disastrous situation on behalf of a foreign country. Jank. Yeah. So first of all, I want to quote one of our members on t.com, Huang John said, J.D. Vance, that's disappointing. I expected more from a bed, bath, and beyond peace prize winner.

I like it. Anyways, so now Lindsay Graham also tweeted this, and I think this is also telling. He said, our allies in Israel have shown amazing capability when it comes to collapsing the murderous regime in Iran. America is most appreciative, as if Israel is doing us a favor by going into this war, right? Then he continues, however, there will be a day soon that the Iranian people will be in charge of their own fate, not the murderous Ayatollah's regime. In that regard, please be cautious about what targets you select. Our goal is to liberate the Iranian people in a fashion that does not cripple their chance to start a new and better life when this regime collapses. The oil economy of Iran will be essential to that endeavor.

So he's saying the Israelis bombing the oil facilities, which caused the black rain and the disaster in Tehran. He's saying, could you please watch that because that's going to drive up oil prices here at home for us? And, you know, and oh, but the Iranian people will need that later. We care so much about the Iranians. But to me, the most telling part of that whole thing was, pretty please Israel, what do you mean, please? What does that please mean? So embarrassing. Okay, no.

So embarrassing. Hey, hey, you are not the bomb. One more thing that we tell you not the bomb. And if you do, I'm going to take away a billion dollars. And the next bomb that lands that was not authorized by U.S., I'm going to take away another billion dollars. And I'm going to take a ship off your coast that's. defending you with interceptor missiles. And go ahead, I dare you, defy America one more time.

Drag us into another war. We're now spending one to two billion dollars a day on behalf of Israel in this war. So tell me one more time that you're not gonna listen to what America says. I'll move two ships, I'll remove all ships, I'll remove the funding for Iron Dome. Tell me again about how you're not gonna listen to us. But instead, so that wouldn't guys, no matter where you are on the police, political spectrum, wouldn't that be a rational response to a country that we're supposed to be partners and allies with, we're going to this war, and we say, please don't

do this because that is a bad idea and it hurts our interest. And as he goes, shut up America, I'll do whatever I like, ignore them, bomb, right? And they do. So the rational response is to have consequences for that kind of action. They are not supposed to be the boss of us. We're supposed to be supposed to be the boss of them. We're the ones with the money, the military, etc, that they keep taking and taking and taking to no end.

So no, I don't need American politicians pleading with the Israelis. Pretty please, boss, boss, will you ever listen to us? And I know Lindsey Graham is used to being on his knees and that's his favorite place to be. But you're embarrassing the rest of us, Lindsay. Get up, get up, and leave, clean up and go home. Oh my God. Jesus Christ.

Or stay down if you want, I don't care, you know, no kink shaming. Just leave us alone, okay, leave the Senate and leave the American people alone instead of dragging them into nonsensical wars for whatever reason. Anyway, let's take a break. When we come back, we'll talk a little bit about the latest evidence pointing to the United States when it comes to the bombing of an elementary school that killed 175 people, of whom little girls. We'll be right back. If you don't like your kids that much or if you don't like em at all, which happens on occasion,

don't worry about it. All right, let's go to t.y.com members. First, Jake's left tricep of Furious says, short-term pain, Trump has been a pain for 10 years now. Yeah, and it goes on and on. So pessimistic progressive says, Jake, you probably already knew this, but the Illinois Senate candidate that didn't show, that's last week when we had a, um, discussion about the Illinois Senate race where we had two of the leading candidates on. One candidate didn't show up, one out of the three major candidates. And they say they've taken tons of PAC money and 1.7 million of APAC funds, of course.

So that's gonna, same thing's gonna happen tonight. So we're doing the candidate forum for the Illinois district that's the whole country's talking about. And the only candidate that isn't showing up is Laura Fine. Well, that's not true. candidate that isn't coming. But Laura Fine has taken so much money from APEC. To be fair to her, we didn't invite her because the first question she'd be disqualified. She'd say, oh yeah, I'm taking millions from APEC and I plan to serve Israel and only Israel in Congress. So do not

vote for Laura Fine. She's totally against America. Yeah. Sorry to change the subject, but this is very important. So the foreign minister in Saudi Arabia says this. If the Pakistani intelligence services had not provided us with timely information, we would not have known that the attack on the oil refinery had been carried out by Israel and not by Iran. Damn, holy cow. Israel is evil, man, evil. We should talk about that on the show. Yeah.

All right, so sorry, cut off your comment there is more comments. We probably won't have time for. We've got the shorter breaks these days, but we'll come back with that massive news. Don't like your kids that much or if you don't like everyone all, which happens on occasion, don't worry about it. All right, back on TYT, Jenkins Anna with you guys. As Anna read during the break, they're becoming a member, get the breaks as well. All right.

Huge news coming out of Saturday Arabia. We'll talk about it a little bit later once. It's a little bit more developed. But stay with us here. We've got a lot more stories. Okay, for now, though, let's talk a little bit about this. I'm a girls elementary school in southern Iran on the first day of the war and kill 175 people. Based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran.

Is that true, Mr. Hickson? Civilians, he's Iran. Well, despite President Donald Trump's denials, mounting evidence shows that the United States was in fact responsible for slaughtering 175 people, mostly little girls, by the way, at an elementary school in Manab, Iran. In fact, it was part of the opening salvo as the war against Iran started. And Trump tried to blame it on the Iranian saying that it was an Iranian missile. The evidence does not bear that out. And in fact, Iran hadn't even responded to the US strikes until hours afterward. I don't know what's more compelling, Anna.

The video we're about to show that proves it definitively or Hegsif not backing up Trump immediately, right? So anyway, in the video, is a tomahawk missile for sure, we'll explain why that's so relevant in a second. But you notice Hexith was like, they're not confirmed. And you know, the Iranians were the only ones that hit innocent civilians. That's basically saying I can't even back up that lie because that lie is so crazy and outrageous. It's definitely us.

So the footage that Jank is referring to was published by the New York Times. It was obtained by Bellingcat and confirmed by the Times, which is why they reported. on it and it does in fact show a Tomahawk missile, which only the United States has. Israel doesn't have it, Iran doesn't have it, only the U.S. has these Tomahawk missiles. And it shows the missile striking a building described as a medical clinic in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base. Now that base is right next to the girls' school. So that was indication that that area was under attack by the United States.

And then there's more evidence showing a Tomahawk missile. hitting the actual girl school. So a body of evidence assembled by the times, including satellite imagery, social media posts and other verified videos indicates that the Sharjara Taebe Elementary School Building was severely damaged by a precision strike that occurred at the same time as the attacks on that naval base. Again, a tomahawk missile was used in that strike. As the camera pans to the right, large plumes of smoke, dust,

plumes of dust and smoke are already billowing from the area around the elementary school, suggesting it had been struck shortly before the strike on the naval base. This is supported by a timeline of the strikes assembled by the times that shows the school was hit around the time, the same time as the base. Now, there is other evidence that bolsters the fact that the U.S. carried out the strike against the school. Honestly, this is my speculation. My speculation is that the US is relying on AI in order to determine which buildings to strike. And that school, that building used to be part of a military base.

It no longer is, it hasn't been since 2016. But if they're relying on AI, did the AI rely on outdated information in order to determine that building was worthy of a strike? I don't know, but that's my speculation. Now other evidence that the US was behind the attack includes General Dan Cain, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said during a press conference on Wednesday of last week, that US forces were carrying out strikes in southern Iran at the same time the naval base and the school were hit, right?

So he shows a map of the area, which I don't know if he did it unwittingly, but it definitely proved the US was doing strikes in that area. A map he presented showed that an area including Minab had been targeted by strikes, strikes in the first 100 hours of the operation. Now with that in mind, Trump was confronted with the fact that a Tomahawk missile hit the school. The U.S. is the only country that has the Tomahawk missiles. So how did he respond to that question?

Let's take a look. You just suggested that Iran somehow got his hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that when he was asked, standing over your shoulder on your plane on Saturday. Why are you the only person saying this? Because I just don't know enough about it. I think it's something that I was told is under investigation, but Tomahawks are used by others, as you know. I want every single American living in this country right now to

understand this is your government. Okay, the majority of those slaughtered in that airstrike were little girls in elementary school. In total, according to the New York Times, 175 people gone slaughtered because of the US's actions. It is so disgusting and so shameful that the US did that. But what's even more disgusting and shameful is that our government got dragged into this war. Trump got dragged into this war against Iran like a little bitch on behalf of a foreign country, Israel. Just Israel is a liability to the United States of America.

We need to decouple immediately. Go ahead, Jank. Yeah, that was super embarrassing when they said, why are you the only one saying that it wasn't us? He said, because I don't know what's going on. That was a stunning admission. Then why did you say that was Iranians if you don't know what's going on? His natural instinct is to lie at every turn, right? He just can't help himself.

Whose fault was not mine? Muslim Iran. And they're like, okay, no one else uses tomahawks. And you know, everybody uses tomahawks. He just can't stop lying. He's incorrigible. And having a president like that just, obviously it's an enormous problem. If your president can't ever tell the truth, how do you know when something is real and not real?

Are we really going to have tariffs? Are we really going to stay in the war? Are we really not going to put in ground troops? There's no way of knowing because the president is a pathological liar. So, okay, now I'm going to give ironic credit here to a conservative. And that's Laura Ingram. Now, it's a little ironic because most of the conservatives are pushing for the bombings and stuff like that, right? But I like to give credit where credit is due even to make people that I mainly criticize.

Okay, did it earlier in the show for New York Times and CNN. So I'll do it for Ingram. She's now put out several times on X. Now, we have to investigate this. We can't just let it stand. Like, this isn't right, and we can't have this be normal. All right, thank you, Laura Ingraham, for the first time ever. I'll give you credit on that one.

Yes, this isn't America, this isn't normal. Maybe the Israelis slaughter schools or not maybe they do. Slaughter schools and hospitals on a very regular basis. In fact, they destroyed every school in hospital in Gaza. And just because they're our theoretical ally and they dragged us into this war, we should not start acting like that. We're supposed to be the shining city on a hill. No, when America, I would hope accidentally kill those girls, there should be a clear

investigation, an apology, or whatever it takes, it doesn't mean that you could make it totally right, you can never bring those girls back and you can't make those families whole, right? But at least for us to say to our own citizens, hey, we're sorry, we've got to do better than that. We didn't mean to do that on your behalf, because that's not what America stands for. Just absolutely devastating that we're involved in any of this to begin with. Anyway, all right, let's get to our next story. The overwhelming majority of both House and Senate Democrats have made the case to the American people and taken the position that this is a war of choice that Donald Trump decided to get into without any evidence being presented to us as members of Congress or to the American people.

But do you agree with Golden if not an illegal war yet? protect the national security of the American people? No. As the leader of House Democrats, do you plan to block all Pentagon funding, even if the argument is it is critical for military readiness? Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. In other words, no. Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democratic Party in the House,

does not intend to block funding for an illegal war in the Middle East that the United States got dragged into on behalf of Israel. There, I decoded the story for you. Congratulations. Jank, you're two cents. Yeah, ignore everything he says before we'll cross that bridge when we get to him. Oh, this war is bad, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, so you're not gonna pay for this disastrous war, obviously, right?

Because then you'll have less war if you don't give the money for it. And you just told me it was a disastrous war. I will cross that bridge when we get to an A-PAC. Don't worry, big dog, I'm just lying here. I just lie for you guys all the time. Pretend that we're on the other side, we're for peace. But A-PAC, you're gonna get your war, you're gonna get your funding. That's why Hakeem Jeffrey's nickname is Apex Shakur.

That's right. And he's not alone, guys. There's a story we covered last week, Anna's gonna give you a lot more here. But tons of Senate Democrats go, oh, no, no, we're gonna fund the war, right? Yeah, so it's interesting because the Democratic establishment has been giddy about the fact that Trump got dragged into this war against Iran. because they knew it would be unpopular. But at the same, so it gave them a line of attack against Trump. But at the same time, the Democratic establishment wanted the war to begin with.

So it's perfect for them, Anna. It's perfect. You're right. They get to go to A-PAC and go, oh, don't worry. Yeah, we all got the war we were dreaming of. Let's see how many Americans die. Who cares though, right? Give me the check. That's a kind of scum Democratic leadership is, as well as almost every Republican who votes for this war and betrays you. Almost every Republican, okay?

So, but in reality then, but the Democrats also get the extra benefit of pretending they're against the war. Yeah, that's right. Okay, so before we get to how much funding Hakeem Jeffries gets from the Israel lobby, I do want to just mention that there was a vote last week on the, you know, war powers resolution, you know, reigning in Trump and ensuring that he would need to get, you know, a green light from Congress before escalating war in Iran. Well, the House rejected Thomas Massey and Roe-Kana's war powers resolution.

So it failed 212 to 219. Okay, so you're taking a look at a graphic that kind of helps you visualize how it failed. So there were four Democrats who voted against the resolution. Those Democrats include, let's take a look at graphic two here, you'll see a figure next to to their names, that's the amount of money they've taken in from APAC. So you have Representative Juan Vargas, who's taken in nearly a million dollars from APAC. Representative Greg Lansman, who's taken $1.7 million from APAC. Representative Henry Quayar, complete embarrassment, who's taken in more than $3.3 million

from APAC. And then Representative Jared Golden, who's taken in almost $3.5 million from APAC. So these are individuals who don't even want to give Congress the ability to reign in the executive branch. They don't believe in what our founders intended for our system of government, a system of checks and balances. They're happy, ready and willing to cede their power to President Donald Trump, someone who they certainly fearmonger about during election cycles. But when it comes to questions of peace and war, life and death, Jared Golden's like, all the power to you, Trump, everything you want. Go ahead. Yeah. So we talked about this last week. It's a rotating villains. So if the four Democrats

had voted with their own party, the vote would have failed by one. So that's why they needed four Democrats to flip over. And by the way, if they needed eight Democrats, then eight Democrats would have flipped over. If they needed 48 Democrats, then 48 Democrats would have flipped over. Because this is what I need Democratic voters to understand. Your politicians are not remotely on your side. They've been selling you a bag of goods, a bill of goods this entire time. Oh, we're going to get you paid family leave in universal health care and higher minimum wage. And we're against war. Oh, look, we funded all the wars. We funded the defense department. We funded all the pork. Oh, we never gave you anything you wanted. Oh, it's just a

Just a coincidence, golly, gee, every time they need this exact number of votes we wind up giving to them. And then of course, as usual, traditional corporate media didn't notice that the four Democratic votes on average were taking around $2 million from Israel. You can't connect those dots. That is very anti-Semitic to quote numbers, okay? I know you're gonna repeat this point over and over again, and it's fine. You can go ahead and do that, but I just, guys, the media is owned by a Zionists.

So we shouldn't be surprised by that, Jank. We shouldn't be surprised by that. Not all the media is owned by Zionists, a lot of it is cowed. Anything that hasn't been owned by the Zionists, the Ellison's are looking to buy it, okay? Yeah, so no, look, before Alda Ellison take over of CBS CNN, it was more of an informal working for Israel, right? It was like, oh, well, if you write an article about Israel, you know that the same thugs who attack us will attack that reporter and that editor. Probably get them fired. Right.

And as Ryan Grimm said on this show when we're discussing it, because drop site news has already proven that Epstein worked with Israel. Doesn't mean that Israel did the blackmail plot, but Epstein was working to help Israel at every turn. So I asked Ryan, why don't they cover it? And he said, look, the main reason is everyone working in traditional media is scared to death that if they write an critical article about Israel, it's the end of their careers. So and those thugs run Washington. So that doesn't represent the majority of Jewish people at all, at all, okay? But there are a small group of thugs who have a ton of power that try to fire anyone who says anything critical of Israel. Plus now Larry Ellison has bought a great number of media companies with the avowed purpose of serving Israel.

So now that you can't really complain about a trope when somebody's raised their hand and say, I'm doing it. the trope, right? So take it up with Elson. And by the way, I haven't seen a single leader in America, Jewish leader in America say, what are we doing here? Yeah, of course. Right? Like this is outrageous and it's only gonna get people to dislike us more.

Will you stop doing these things? Nope, nope, nope, nope, never ever, ever criticize anyone on the Israel side, only try to be vicious against anyone who tweaks Israel. So we're sick of it, we're absolutely sick of the Democrats, the Republicans, the media, And all these thugs going around enforcing censorship on all Americans who dare to oppose their favorite country that is bribing nearly all of them. I just, I wanna know if we're ever going to experience a day in America where we're not constantly talking about the hurt feelings of individuals who don't want Israel to be,

you know, insulted in any way. And I don't care about your feelings. Your feelings don't matter, okay, your precious country that you care about so much, as getting innocent people killed in the Middle East, dragged us into a war. Seven of our soldiers are dead now because of this nonsensical war against Iran. I don't care about your feelings. God, it's so unbelievably narcissistic that after the genocide committed by Israel in Gaza, after dragging us into war against Iran, after the complete destruction of oil infrastructure

in the Middle East, which means we're gonna be suffering from the economic pain of all of this, You dare to come to me and talk to me about your feelings. I don't care about your feelings at all, not even a little bit. We've got to take a break. We'll be right back. No, Kristen, we're not at war with Iran. Wrong, sir. Wrong.

All right. So, by the way, Apex Shakur is taking $5.5 million from the Israeli lobby. He is not remotely a Democrat, doesn't care about any of you. All he cares about is his donors. He's a deeply corrupt person. It's sick that he's the head of the Democrats in the House. It shows a great sickness, a toxicity, a cancer inside the Democratic Party that they think that is our leader.

That deeply corrupt, the most corrupt out of all of us is the one we want leading. So yeah, Democratic caucus, you know, whatever, they're useless. Why do I even waste my time and energy with the Democrats in Congress who were just the worst people. Anyway, in Liberty and Guns We Trust, spent some time recently reading some of our founding documents. It's sad to see how far those ideals we've fallen from. Our founding fathers warned against this crap. Federal government is evil. Well, no, brother, the money in politics has captured the federal government. It wasn't evil during FBR and when we built the greatest middle class the world has ever seen. Secander on YouTube says, hi, I'm from India, watching

you guys at 5 a.m. here. Am I crazy to watch T.Y.T. first thing of the morning, happy to see your support for Muslims. Surprises I was told Americans hate Muslims. Love you, Anna. No, no, no, American people do not hate Muslims. American politicians and American media are paid to hate Muslims and spread anti-Muslim propaganda so to try to poison the well in America so that we will then attack all of Israel's neighbors for them.

Israel has spread the most cancerous bigotry against Muslims my whole life, and I've never seen a single leader apologize for it ever, and it's a fact. TYT. Jay Hennano with your mourners. Well, we got to catch up with what's been going down in Lebanon because it's not just a war in Iran. Israel used the opportunity to ratchet up its war against Lebanon, and it's been pretty devastating for people living in Lebanon, but it turns out it's kind of devastating for Israelis, too, so let's talk about it.

The Israeli defense forces are struggling to intercept Hezbollah's drone strikes coming out of Lebanon. So they've decided against issuing evacuation orders in Israeli towns near the border with Lebanon, which I think is pretty fascinating considering the fact that these are individuals who are now under threat, since the IDF confesses, according to Heretz, an Israeli paper, that they are having trouble intercepting Hezbollah's, you know, drone strikes. Yeah, so that leads to two fascinating questions previously never conceived. One is, can Israel actually lose this war? And is Israel going to retreat now because for the first time they're in actual danger?

I've never seen an Israeli retreat before, so this is going to be really interesting. Now it's really hard to get information about how Israel fares. in this conflict because of the fact that there is censorship in Israel when it comes to Israeli casualties and stuff like that. But Heretz did publish this piece and they report that the IDF is sticking with its initial decision not to order evacuations, but army officials said that its success at intercepting drones launched from Lebanon has been very partial. They added that no time limit has been set for its operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon,

that a long war is likely. That's what they're claiming. Now the military also claims that Hezbollah is a lot weaker today than it was during the 12 day war last summer. They also claim that Hezbollah's elite Rodwan force is now only active in the north or north of the Latani River rather than near the Israeli border. Nonetheless, it appears that the drones being launched by these Hezbollah militants are not being intercepted, or at least not nearly enough of them are being intercepted.

IDF officials also said that the joint Israeli American attacks on Iran have severed Hezbollah from some of its sources of funding and weaponry, and that the organization is almost completely cut off from Iran. As a result, it is conducting its fight against Israel independently. That's what they're claiming. So far, Israel, by the way, has raised 50 multi-story buildings in Lebanon under this that those buildings belong to Hezbollah militants. But Hezbollah has done some significant damage to the Israelis as well, including claiming

the lives of IDF soldiers. Two IDF soldiers were killed by anti-tank fire in southern Lebanon. As Heretz also reports, the troops were attempting to recover a stranded Puma armored personnel carrier in Lebanese territory opposite Kabuts Manara, using a bulldozer when the vehicle was struck by an anti-tank missile apparently near its fuel tank. The IDF released the name of one of the soldiers as Master Sergeant Meherr Qatar, a 38-year-old from Majdal Shams. Ten Israeli soldiers were also wounded by fire from Lebanon over the weekend in two separate

incidents. Yeah. So I don't want to root for anyone getting hurt. And on October 7th, some of the people they killed were very pro-Palestinian. So violence always has ironic results and it's never a good idea. So in this case, Israel did start the war, and we know that Israel does not agree with me. Israel believes in Amalek, and their leaders have said it repeatedly. And so that if you're attacked as they were on October 7th, they say they have a right

to kill every man, woman, and child. So that has been the policy of Israel, and they have done that in Gaza. They have the worst civilian kill ratio of any terrorist group in the world. So they kill more civilians on average when they attack than al-Qaeda and Hamas and all the other terrorist groups. That is a stunning, stunning number. And it comes from the Israeli press, the American press won't repeat it, it is a fact, but they say, well, no, that'll make Israel look bad.

By the way, I thought you were pretending to be objective. Okay, so now Israel was okay to do that kind of damage to Gaza, to Lebanon, to Iran, and to all the countries they have attacked seven and all, right? But now when their civilians are getting hurt, all of a sudden they realize, oh, war could be painful. Because look, does this apply to all Israelis? No, not at all. Does it apply to Jewish Americans? Almost not at all. Like, I'm, in my experience with Jewish Americans, they don't think this way at all.

But are there members in, in Israel's government? In fact, the top three, Ben Gavir Smotrich, and I would argue Netanyahu as well, and he has made reference to Amalik, that think, that believe in Jewish supremacy, that think that only Jewish lives matter and no other lives matter at all. I think you're being anti-Semitic by merely acknowledging that Jewish supremacists exist, Jank. Yeah. How dare you? So the settlers are obviously Jewish. supremacists. And you know, we can talk about Christian supremacists. We can talk about crazy Muslims who think that everybody should listen to Allah and kill people for it. The only ones who are

not allowed to talk about is Jewish supremacists. The problem is when they were a small minority in Israel, it was already a huge problem because of the settlers doing endless violence against the Palestinians of the West Bank and other places. But now they have captured the Israeli government. So they think, well, if we kill other people, they don't really count, right? So that is why this development is so important, because for the first time the Israeli government thinks human beings are dying. Before they're like cattle, whatever Palestinians are, whatever Lebanese are, right? But oh my God, Israelis are dying. This is now very, very important.

Real human beings are dying, okay? So that's why they're in a panic. And that part, not the actual deaths of the violence, but the panic it has caused in this, disgusting terrorist, fascist regime currently in charge of Israel is a good thing. Because the only way the fascists stop is if they feel the pain. Until then, they're gonna keep going and going and more wars and more dead and more dead and the more and the ratios don't matter anymore. A thousand and one, 10,001, they don't care because these particular, again, please

don't make this assumption for Jewish Americans who almost none of them think this, okay? But yes, the extremists in charge of Israel believe that other human beings aren't really that human, right? That they're just people that are in their way on their land. Their actions show it. Yeah, so now they're, that they are getting hurt, they're like, wait a minute, I didn't know we were gonna lose one or two people, okay, maybe we should reconsider this war. Oh, thank you, finally, you get it.

Yes, you should definitely reconsider this war. You should reconsider the war in Iran, the war in Lebanon, the war on Gaza, the war, the war that you're de facto doing on the West Bank or all defenseless Palestinians. You should rethink all of your wars, all of your oppression, all of your land acquisition, and you should give West Bank and Gaza to the Palestinians. And for God's sake, have a beautiful, safe Israel. That's what you were supposed to actually care about, 1967 borders, and then you have a safe and secure Israel and Palestine.

And then everyone is happy and everyone is safe, and no one gets hurt. But Israel will never agree to it because they want more land, but they don't want to pay the price. Well, now they're paying the price. All right, we've got a little bit of time left and there was a video we didn't get to, Jank, that I really want to do. The Saudi story? No, no, no, it isn't confirmed. So for those who are in our social break, that isn't confirmed.

So I'm not going to report on that yet. Okay, gotcha. But when it is confirmed, I will report on it. For now, though, I want to go to that Ben Shapiro video. So let me set it up and I'll toss to it. The New York Times reported today that the school, the elementary school in Iran that was struck killing 175 people, was struck by a tomahawk missile, which only the United States has. Israel doesn't have them, Iran doesn't have them, plus the idea that Iran would target

their own elementary school. Killing little girls is a laughable claim to say the least. Nonetheless, Trump made that claim. But putting that aside, Ben Shapiro had some comments about it. I haven't seen this video yet, so I'm sure it'll make my blood boil. Let's take a look. A lot of Trump's critics today are pointing out this tragic incident within Iranian school at which 160 girls were killed. That is indeed tragic and it's terrible. And it's also called collateral damage in war. It is unclear at this point, whether the munitions were American or Iranian will find out. Here is the point. Do you really believe that the Trump administration knew there were girls at school and they decided to hit it with a tomahawk? Do you really believe that? If you do,

you hate not only Trump but America, truly, because that is a scurrilous lie. Iran, by the way, would. If Iran had the ability to launch a cruise missile at an Israeli school filled with school girls, they absolutely would hit it on purpose. They do it constantly. I think Ben Shapiro hates America. Because Ben Shapiro is happy to see American soldiers die on behalf of his precious Israel. I know he likes to use that line against his detractors or anyone who dare criticize Israel. Israel is a terror state. I think that they've proven that to the vast majority of the American people, which is why

public opinion toward Israel is in the gutter where it belongs. But to claim that you would hate America for pointing your finger at the United States for dropping a freaking Tomahawk missile on a girl's school killing 175 people, Oh, God forbid you tell the truth about what's going on. It must mean you hate America. No, the people who keep dragging our soldiers into endless wars on behalf of Israel, they're the ones who hate America. The real question here is, Jank, if you ask me, why isn't Ben Shapiro living where he actually

wants to live? Why is he here in the United States trying to manufacture consent to drag our soldiers into wars that could get them killed on behalf of a foreign country? That's the real freaking question. Yeah. So Mark Levin, Laura Lumer, Traders to this country. Have all said that I should be deported, even though I'm a U.S. citizen.

And this was before the Iran war started. And why do they say that? They say, oh, you're a Muslim, hence evil. Well, okay, then you're a bigot. Actually, you don't understand the concept of America at all. In this country, we believe in equality and not supremacy. Okay, and so these people are constantly talking about get out of our country, you, and they use every kind of terrible adjective about Muslim Americans, et cetera.

And so, okay, but really who's loyal to America and who isn't? Because they started the conversation, they're talking about deporting people, denaturalizing people, you're not really Americans, okay, let's have a conversation about that. We fight for America and only America, and we care about American soldiers, American treasure and rightly and left we have different opinions about what is best for America, but we do not have different opinions on this war. No one thinks that this is good for America except Israel first. So they are asking everyone and getting it from our politicians to betray this country

on behalf of the country that they actually love and support, which is Israel. So you want to start talking deportations? I'd be careful if I was you. And then they'll catch all sorts of feelings. They'll say, what do you mean? How dare you? Are you saying dual loyalty? Are you saying true?

Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm saying dual loyalty. Yes, I'm saying that. In fact, I'm saying even worse. I think that he's far more loyal to Israel than the United States. I don't think it's close. It's not close. I'll give you an example.

Ben Shapiro fancies himself a fiscal conservative, okay? He's always talking about the debt. He's always talking about the solvency or lack of solvency when it comes to our social security program. Have you heard him complain even once about the now multiple times the US government, the executive branch circumvented Congress, went around Congress in order to send tens of billions of dollars to Israel for this war? Well, that's weird, he's never once mentioned it, Anna. He wants you to retire later in life because, oh, well, I mean, Social Security, we're spending

too much money on it, it's not solving, it's not solving. When it comes to us going into more debt to fight Israel's wars for, you know, it's not solving, For them? Never any complaints from Ben Shapiro. Did Ben Shapiro complain about the $300 billion we've given to Israel? Never, not once. Did he complain about the $31 billion we're given to them in the middle of the genocide? Money well spent, according to Shapiro. Has he complained about the $1 to $2 billion a day this war is costing us?

Against Iran? Nope, no. So all of that money, by the way, we don't have. We borrow from China, Japan, and other countries. You and I are going to have to pay interest on that for the rest of our lives so that Israel doesn't have to, so that Israel doesn't have to borrow the money and they don't have to pay it back and they don't have to pay the interest. Us sucker Americans are forced to pay that on behalf of Israel for the rest of our lives.

But Ben Shapiro says, you don't get to retire at 65, back to the mines. Right. Back to the assembly lines, you dirty Americans. And don't you dare question Israel, otherwise we'll have you arrested, deported, and denaturalized. I see who the new fascists are. It's not unclear at all. And this is exactly how our fascist talks.

Did you see him talking about this dead school age girls and boys? He said, now, it's called collateral damage. He's a piece of crap. Okay. So now if you said, hey, you know what? Hamas actually a third of the people that they killed were military and the rest, I guess, were collateral damage. He'd be like, I'll care you, right?

Those are human beings, Israelis. Not like useless Americans or useless Palestinians that we just call, or Iranians that we call collateral damage, right? No, it's not collateral damage when Hamas does it. And it's also not collateral damage when Israel does it. I'm going to say this for the million of time. Israel has a worse civilian kill ratio than Hamas does. They're bigger terrorists than Hamas.

They kill more civilians on purpose as a ratio. And then when you talk about the raw numbers, they've done. 70 October 7th and it wasn't collateral damage. It was done on purpose. And look at that, they stole 53% of Gaza and they're not leaving. Just like we told you they were going to. And all of this paid for by you and me, by Americans. And they, you know what he'll say about your pocketbook?

Collateral damage. So listen, brother, the jury's in. No one thinks that you even care about America. We all know you're obsessed with serving beloved homeland Israel, okay? So self-deport, okay? Just move to Tel Aviv and be done with it. You're a utter fraud, no one believes you on the left or the right anymore, or the right. So enjoy the crash of your disgusting website and your network, oh no, culture wars, Americans hate each other,

die for us, pay for everything for us, and make sure you hate each other. other because that's the culture wars are the only ways we can divide you. Bingo. And take advantage of you so that you serve Israel. All right, debate next.
