Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Condoms for Hamas. Hot dog is my favorite meat. Well, hello. Turks, Jake Huger, Anna Kusperian with you guys, a big show ahead. So Tucker Carlson takes on Donald Trump even more full bore than he has before.
Starting point is 00:00:58 So buckle up, brace for impact. calling him very interesting names. Congress looked for a hot minute like it was going to stand up to Trump. That's hilarious. Of course they didn't. They buckled. We're going to explain that to you in a little bit. Zionists start going after Holocaust survivors saying that if they don't agree to the genocide
Starting point is 00:01:18 Israel's committing, then they're not really Holocaust survivors. And the war plans against Turkey are heating up. Yes, they are a NATO ally. Yes, there are people inside the American government, including the president who disagree, but Israel supporters are doing a propaganda campaign to start even more wars in the Middle East. But let me guess it'll be for self-defense. Okay, so a lot to get to. Let's get started with this first story.
Starting point is 00:01:47 So for a brief moment, it looked like the Republicans are going to stand up to Donald Trump and pass the war powers resolution and keep him in check until they folded like a cheap suit. and made humiliating mockery out of themselves. Anna, tell us all about it. Well, this all started on Tuesday of this week when the Senate, surprisingly, joined the House in a pretty rare rebuke of President Trump and the war against Iran. The Senate voted 50 to 48 in support of the war powers resolution. Per the Washington Post, the resolution states that the president must remove U.S. forces
Starting point is 00:02:29 in hostilities abroad without congressional authorization if Congress passes such a resolution. Now, although Republicans and Democrats certainly disagree with whether or not this carries the force of the law, because of course, I mean, our entire governmental system is apparently a sham and nothing can be enforced. There are no checks and balances. The executive branch apparently can do anything and everything it wants. But nonetheless, it's clear that the measure cannot be vetoed, Right? So it's passing was significant. You know, the fact that you got the majority of senators voting in favor of this is a big deal. It was the first time both chambers of Congress had passed a resolution directing a president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities since the war powers
Starting point is 00:03:15 resolution, more commonly known as the War Powers Act, was enacted in 1973. Now, look, it's not lost on me or hopefully not lost on anyone that, oh, the brave Republican senators voted in favor of the War Powers Act as Trump looks to be pulling out of kinetic warfare, at least, against Iran. Now, who knows things could change, but not lost on me that the timing of this was what it was. Now, with Republicans holding a very thin margin or majority in both chambers, it did feel like this measure, it didn't feel like this measure would pass, but that changed when four Republicans,
Starting point is 00:03:56 Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, joined the Democrats, much to Trump's ire, as you can imagine. So what did Trump do about it? Well, what you would expect Trump to do. He immediately confronted Senator Cassidy at a luncheon on Wednesday, describing the senator as a lunatic and accusing him or the Senate at GOP, in particular, of undermining his position at the negotiating table with Iran. I would venture to say the fact that we lost this war is what, you know, undermines us at the negotiating table. But nonetheless, Cassidy was confronted by Trump on his vote at this luncheon. And then all of a sudden, you know, first he said that he was holding firm on his decision,
Starting point is 00:04:46 saying to the press later, quote, I stood and said, You have not told the American people what's going on. It was supposed to last four weeks. It's lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what's going on. Now, the move was met with widespread approval among the American electorate, as you can imagine, because this war against Iran has been so deeply unpopular. And the polling shows that.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Now, despite the universal praise for their seeming moral clarity on the issue, They did back out later. So yesterday, Republicans took action in a late-night vote to pass a similar resolution in an attempt to offset the damage they had done to their relationship with Trump. So this is what CNN is reporting. One day after adopting a resolution aimed at removing U.S. military forces from the conflict with Iran, the Senate walked back its rebuke of President Donald Trump's handling of the war, rejecting an attempt to advance a similar war. power's measure. So the near identical resolution passed as GOP senators Rand Paul, Bill Cassidy, and Bill Cassidy, who had previously voted to rein in the president's war powers on Iran, change their votes. Paul voted present and Cassidy voted against advancing the resolution.
Starting point is 00:06:11 GOP senators, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski once again voted in favor of the resolution while Democrats, like Senator John Federman, again, voted against it. The final tally was 47 to 50 with one person voting present. Now, Cassidy justified his backpedaling by saying that he's worried, that he's worried that this does undermine the peace negotiations. He said he had a briefing with Vance, Vice President Vance and Whitkoff, and they changed his mind about it and he explained more on X. Here's what he posted.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I want to thank Vice President Vance and Special Envoy Whitkoff for their thorough briefing this afternoon on Iran. I appreciate the quick invitation to the White House to address many of my concerns. Rand Paul similarly offered a ridiculous excuse for changing his vote. He says, tonight I will vote present on the war powers resolution. What a disgrace. My opinion on the debate over war and executive power has not changed, except it has clearly. And then he says, I have voted that way several times. But since hostilities seem to be over and the president asked me to give consideration to his negotiating position, I will do so.
Starting point is 00:07:28 My vote of present is a way to give the president more space and leverage to negotiate a lasting peace. Now, Trump praised their 180, posting on truth social. Wow, the Senate just changed its vote on Iran from 50 to 48 against to 50 to 474. Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy changed. Thank you to leader John Thune of Lindsay Graham, Bernie Moreno, and all. This vote puts Iran on notice, President Donald J. Trump. So this issue is the most recent example of like growing tensions between the White House and I guess some faction of the Republican Party. But who cares? Who cares if there's some tension? At the end of the day, what matters is who wins?
Starting point is 00:08:15 Who's actually going to check the executive branch and do their jobs as part of a governmental body that's whole existence is due to the fact that it's supposed to check the executive branch? But of course, Trump got his way. And something tells me that there's more involved in persuading these lawmakers than just a confrontation with Trump. I'm guessing that some of their donors probably had some talks with them as well. Jank back to you. Yeah. So first question is, did they think this through? So did Bill Cassidy and Rand Paul when they voted to limit the president's ability to go to war, continue in war, think that Trump was going to go?
Starting point is 00:08:58 Oh, okay, no problem guys. Or did they think that he was gonna get furious and push back? Now, if you didn't know that he was gonna get furious, you're an idiot and obviously shouldn't be a US senator, okay? So did they then think through the next part of it? So when he gets mad, what am I going to do? And so there are only two answers to that. One is no, I stick to my guns.
Starting point is 00:09:22 And to be fair to Murkowski and Collins, they did, right? And they said, no, no, we're keeping our vote the same way. thought it through and we're not yeah you can get mad all you like I don't want to continue this more right Rand Paul apparently didn't think it through so when Trump yelled at him he's like oh I'm so sorry why are you sorry all of a sudden you think a present vote is clever it's not clever no that's voting for war because if you vote no then you have at least a chance of being able to stop the war and Rand Paul after he got yelled at by daddy and
Starting point is 00:09:58 maybe spanked a little bit, he was like, oh, okay, I'm a coward, I'll change my vote. There's no hands or butts about that. And for Cassidy, Cassidy at least has one excuse, but then in some ways he's worse than Rand Paul. So his excuses, well, we don't know what's going on. You know, I yelled at the president in that meeting, and apparently he did. You said this would be four weeks, now we're into four months, and the American people don't know what your plan is.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Senator Cassie, again, you're really that dumb. You don't know that Trump doesn't have a plan? Of course he doesn't have a plan. His plan was, what do I do, Daddy Israel? Oh no, Daddy Israel lied to me. Now I'm stuck in a conundrum and I don't know what to do. That's his plan. Anyways, he asked for a briefing and they bring him back to the White House and they give him
Starting point is 00:10:47 a briefing with the Vice President J.D. Vance and Whitkoff. So at least he got something that he wanted and then switched his vote. So that's a little bit more regular politics, I get it. On the other hand, Bill Cassidy has already lost his primary because of Donald Trump. So what's the downside in opposing him? None, zero. I mean, like the only reason that you would then fold and then go back to supporting the guy who eliminated your career, destroyed your career, is you're just pathetically weak, right?
Starting point is 00:11:20 You're just one of the weakest people in the world. And or one of your donors ordered you to change. your mind and said, hey, you thought you were just opposing Trump. No, you're opposing a much larger and more powerful force, the Israeli lobby. And then that'll bring almost any senator to their news, and certainly all the Republican senators. And some of you might be wondering, well, why would Cassidy even care about donors when he's been voted out? He doesn't have to worry about fundraising. No, no, don't forget the revolving door. Many of these loser politicians who get elected out of office, immediately end up working for one of the donors who was bribing them
Starting point is 00:12:01 in the entirety of their political career. So either as a consultant or some other BS job, so who knows, that's a possibility as well. Yes, definitely. But what comes across more than anything is the absolute cowardice of these grown men who have no problem selling the country out, even as they purport to be these tough guys who are so patriotic and who care about protecting our country, they don't care about protecting our country. They couldn't care less about the American people. And when it comes to doing the bare minimum, the bare minimum required of them as part of their jobs, they're unable to fulfill those promises or what the duty intends for them to carry out.
Starting point is 00:12:43 So I'm just, I'm done with these people. You know, honestly, even if it had passed and they stuck. to their guns regardless of the bullying from Trump. Fact of the matter is, Jank, the timing of it is also very revealing. So I was ready to give them half credit, given the fact that they pursued this when the war is wrapping up anyway. But they can't even do that. They can't even do that.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It's just there's a masculinity crisis in the country. These so-called men are doing a really poor job protecting the country from Zionist influence. But it is what it is. Well, that's because the Zionist lobby picked the weakest, most pathetic servants in the country and gave them millions of millions of dollars so that they could win their elections despite being pathetically weak based on the lies that those millions of dollars buy in advertising. Okay, one more thing about this, and that's Susan Collins. So it looks like, hey, she's voting against the war.
Starting point is 00:13:42 No, they just need to get to 50. Once they get to 50, then they release the other senators to pretend to be moderates. She's getting her ass handed to her by Graham Platner, who's actually against war and against Israel's excesses. Susan Collins, of course, can't say anything against Israel because she's funded by the Israeli lobby. So her whole campaign strategy, which is a wonderfully losing strategy, is to go around calling everyone anti-Semites. Graham Platner's an anti-Semite, everybody in Maine's an anti-Semite. So keep that going, Susan. I love it.
Starting point is 00:14:16 So this will be the last, we'll see if Susan Collins. But in regards to this, she wants to appear to be moderate and anti-war. So once they got Cassidy and Rand Paul to switch their votes, they don't need Collins' vote. So they go, okay, Collins, this is the time that you could pretend to be a decent and moral person and one with courage. We all know you're not. Of course, if we need your vote, we'll remove your spine. And you'll get right back in line and do as you're told. And she goes, oh, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Thank you. And if you don't know that that's how the game is played, then you really don't know politics. If you're a normal person out there, so that's not your job. Our job is to let you know how it works. What drives us crazy, of course, is reporters who pretend that they don't understand this concept. They're like, oh, so they release people to vote in a way that's deceptive to their voters once they have enough votes. Huh, huh?
Starting point is 00:15:06 Yeah, that's what's happened. Starting Southern News, terrifying. When we launched our ShopTYTYT store, I was drowning in what ifs. What if no one buys anything?

That's shopify.com slash t-y-t. So we have a mega block ready for you guys. And I actually want to take a break before we get to it because it's really three stories and one. We're going to talk a little bit about Tucker Carlson's increasingly provocative statements about Trump's, you know, how Trump has carried out his. duties as president, the disastrous Iran war. He's got a lot to say. And we're also going to talk
Starting point is 00:16:43 about what the reality is in regard to our casualties as a result of this disastrous war against Iran. It turns out, based on the family members of the casualties, that the situation is much worse than our secretary of war, Pete Higgsith, would have you believe. Stick around. We've got that and more coming right up. All right. Welcome back. Look, I want to do a shout out here real quick to Preveen Singh. This week marks our 15th anniversary at TYT, which is amazing. So when she started here, it was back in 2011, we were still on current TV. We hadn't reached a billion views yet. Now we're at over 30 billion lifetime views, I think over 32 billion lifetime views. She's now our chief business officer. She used to be our chief marketing officer.
Starting point is 00:17:41 She's done pretty much everything at this company. She's an aspiring leader. She's great at motivating people and getting the very best out of them. And while she's been here, we have grown and grown and grown. And she has been an enormous part of that. And that's why we're really proud to have her as our chief business officer and leading the company in so many different ways. I love the people that work here and and Pervene is a huge part of that. Anna.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yeah, let me get on. Let me get it on that. I love Praveen. It's such an honor to be able to work with her. She's a strong woman. someone who has been a mentor to me, someone who has, you know, given me so much space to like pour my heart out, to vent, to ask for advice. She's just a wonderful leader. I consider her a friend and I can't believe it's been 15 years. Time flies and hopefully we get to work together for
Starting point is 00:18:35 much longer. All right. Yeah, nothing but love for Praveen here. So all right, let's go back to some of your comments, boomer dragon, cat says so, so tired of one step forward, 10 steps back. Cat, you speak for all of us. Jenks, trisper furious says Trump just called the Republicans anti-Semitic and they fold like weak bitches that they are. Ice cream whisper dragon writes in folded like laundry or bad poker hand. Yeah, that was an eight two unsuited. We'll be back.
Starting point is 00:19:32 All right, back on the online news show, Jank, Hugo, Anna, Casparam with you guys. Also, Gianna, Home Duce, 86, 18. We really appreciate it. They hit the join button below on YouTube that helps the show tremendously. So become a young Turk, tell you guys the whole time we're not the young Turks, you're the young Turks. You're the ones leading a rebellion and we saw it in New York. Three establishment candidates defeated.
Starting point is 00:19:56 We're gonna talk a little bit more about it later as James Carvel starts to cry for his beloved Israel. A Perkins 3, thank you for purchasing a monthly membership through t.yt.com slash join. In the TYT member stream, you get us reading comments and interacting with you guys during the commercial breaks. Great reason to join through tyt.com slash join. Now let me return the favor and give you guys a lot of money back. If you're not using a service like Noble mobile, you're way, way overpaying. So the max you could pay is 50 bucks with them, but they give you cash back if you don't use
Starting point is 00:20:31 your data. So I pay in the 30s every month. But now they're giving three months free. That is crazy. three months free. This is definitely the time to make the switch. tyt.com slash switch. tyt.com slash switch. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:46 So now let's go to the next story. And my father, who was a boxer at one point, would always say there are two types of guys. And you've got to be careful the second. They're the first. We're like, would you say? What'd you say? Say it again. You know, push you in the chest.
Starting point is 00:21:03 You don't have to worry about those guys. And then the guys don't say anything. just knock you cold, hit you in the face with a beer bottle and keep hitting you. Like, those are the people you need to be afraid of. They're not the postures. They're not the braggards. And I think everyone knows that intuitively. And Trump is very much, what'd you say?
Starting point is 00:21:23 Shut up, bitch. I don't take you seriously. Damn. Okay. Things are getting nuclear over at Pelker-Carls's place. So he's going after Trump in every way last week. He said he was leaving the Republican Party and now we're going to apparently another level of Tucker unchained. So Anna, what does 11 look like on that scale?
Starting point is 00:21:50 Oh my God. I had read about Tucker Carlson making those statements. I hadn't actually seen the video of it and damn, the gloves are definitely off. That was amazing. And by the way, I totally agree with him. The people who puff up their chest the most tend to be the weakest. most cowardly individuals. And we're seeing that in Congress right now, actually. Now with that in mind, it does seem that Tucker has some deep regrets on a whole host of things in his past, including
Starting point is 00:22:16 the fact that he lent his support to Trump, helped him get elected, and he persuaded others to support Trump. In fact, he gets into the details in this next video. It wasn't apologizing so much for telling people to vote for Trump. I didn't tell him anybody to vote. I almost never tell anybody to do anything. But what I did was, I vouched for his sincerity on these questions, and clearly he was not sincere. So, or maybe he was sincere in some dramatic event that we don't know much about changed his views. Whatever it is, I did my best to sell Trump, the idea of Trump, to people on the basis of claims that are now clearly false. So I did that.
Starting point is 00:23:01 If I'd sell you a mortgage at 4% interest and it readjust to 12%, I've sold it. the 200 false pretenses. And that's exactly what happened. Now, why did it readjust to 12%? I don't really know. Like, what did the Fed do? I don't know. But it happened. So I'm sorry about that. So this isn't the first time that he has shared his regrets in regard to his support for Trump. And during an interview, a separate interview with Sky News, he also shared his regrets on his previous rhetoric on Islam. But before we get to that, Jank, I actually want to just quickly talk about just the difficulty of being a public figure who feels a tremendous amount of pressure, especially if you're in the political news space to endorse someone in every election.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And I'm done with it. And the reason why I'm done with it is because under this duopoly, this two-party system that's deeply corrupt, where you have moneyed interests and foreign interests, buying our politicians, both on the left and the right, whatever that means, in the context of the United States. I mean, what a joke? Like, what do you do? Who do you support? Who do you endorse? They're all liars, save for a few very specific examples. And so, like, I really respect the fact that he has his regrets and he's willing to vocalize those regrets. I do not respect those who are like, you know, basically like you helped ruin the country by supporting this guy. It's all your fault. We're never going to forgive you. I don't respect that take because I'd just like to ask
Starting point is 00:24:32 those people, what would you expect a conservative Republican to do in the last election cycle? Did you expect them to vote for Kamala Harris? I didn't vote for Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris was a disaster. I didn't vote for Trump, that's for sure. I did what I usually do, which is right in Bernie Sanders. But that has been the case, I don't know, three election cycles in a row for me at this point. Because I don't like what the Democrats are serving up. I've never liked who the Republicans serve up. And so when I say I want people, ordinary Americans to be kinder to each other and not to the systems, not to the politicians, not to those in positions of power. I'm specifically talking about your fellow American. The reason why I'm saying try to be a little more empathetic
Starting point is 00:25:18 is because we're all in this hellhole where we don't really have an option. We don't really have good options, regardless of who you vote for, regardless who ends up becoming the president, at the end of the day, you're going to be humiliated by them reneging on their promises, nickel and diming you as they just pour more and more money into the Pentagon and to foreign wars. And I'm sick of it. Like, I am done with going along with the system as it is right now. We need to break this system up and we need to rebuild it as. something that is for the people and by the people. That is not what we have right now. Anyway, go ahead. Yeah. So a lot to address there. I'm going to answer your actual specific
Starting point is 00:26:06 questions. First, you mentioned the folks who say like don't work with Tucker on anything. I just don't get it. Like number one, he has done what I view to be the maximum, which is he has apologized for, you know, influencing people to vote for Donald Trump. I mean, you just literally can't ask for anything better than that. And then some on our side move the goalpost. No, he needs to say that he really loved Kamala Harris. That, come on, that's absurd. That's an absurd standard.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Why would he say that? I don't even like Kamala Harris. I voted for her, but only because Donald Trump was on the other side. And so, no, is that good enough? Well, I mean, if that wasn't good enough, he just called him a bitch. I don't know anybody insulting Donald Trump more than Carlson outside of me and Anna. Right? So if Tucker Carlson is criticizing Trump more than you are, maybe you should take a seat, right, about criticizing Tucker's on that issue, right? And again, if you're a binary brain and it just can't muster up enough mental power to say, I oppose Tucker on these issues like gay rights, feminism, etc. I agree with Tucker on war or Israel or against Trump. Are you not going to be pro-Trump? Because Tucker's anti-Trump?
Starting point is 00:27:25 I mean, what level of absurdity does that purest camp get to? I don't know, but we're probably gonna find out. Like that would- Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, no, to your point, like, it is totally okay for anyone. Any- or you can have whatever feelings you want about Tucker, and I'm not upset at you for having whatever feelings you have about Tucker, honestly. In terms of like, oh, don't work with Tucker, don't talk to him, don't go- I'm gonna do what I want 100% of the time, and no one's gonna tell
Starting point is 00:27:53 me who I can and can't talk to. That's ridiculous. However, the point that I'm trying to make is we have to work together as ordinary Americans. I'm not talking about media figures. I'm not talking about politicians. I'm talking about ordinary Americans. Guys, whether you're a conservative Republican, whether you're a socialist, leftist, whether you're someone in the middle, I really don't care. What I'm trying to say is we need to think much bigger at this moment because you're still thinking in in terms of like us living in a healthy democracy. We don't live in that situation. Okay. Our political system is inherently broken right now and we have to work together to fix it. So a perfect example, we do have to get money out of politics. And there is widespread
Starting point is 00:28:39 buy-in to get money out of politics across the political spectrum among ordinary Americans. We would need to work together to make that happen, whether it's through a constitutional amendment or some other means. But we need to make that happen. So like I get it. I get all the ire people on the left feel toward people on the right. But can we put, can we please put that aside for a minute so we can build the type of government,
Starting point is 00:29:06 the type of governance that we actually deserve, that's actually responsive to the people and what we want, because that's not what we have right now on the left or the right. That's what I'm trying to say. Yes. In fact, if you want to break up the system, And you want to get rid of the corruption and you want to get money out of politics, which I think literally everyone watching does, unless someone is watching in Washington or national media reporter is watching. But 99.9% of the audience wants to do that, right?
Starting point is 00:29:35 There's only one way to do that, an amendment. There's only one way to get an amendment. The country has to unite. You do not have enough right wingers or left wingers to pass an amendment on your own. It is impossible. You must unite to end the corruption. You don't have a choice. If someone's telling you a fairy tale about how there's enough people on the left or the right to do it on their own,
Starting point is 00:29:57 they're definitely lying to you. And you should ask them why they're lying to you. That is not possible. Okay. So would I unite with someone I disagree with on taxes or even gay rights, etc., to end corruption? Well, why wouldn't I? We end the corruption and then we go back to the debate about gay rights or taxes, et cetera. You surrender? Why do you?
Starting point is 00:30:18 What a weird assumption that a lot of people on the left have that if you collaborate on a joint project, let's say to end a war, that means you have to surrender all of your opinions to the right. Why would you assume that? Couldn't you assume that they have to surrender all their opinions to us? But you see, you don't have to surrender your opinions to anyone. You just fight on the things you don't agree on. You get together and fight together on the things you do agree on.
Starting point is 00:30:46 I feel like I have to talk slow. So it's like, come on. How is this not obvious? And Shank, it's not what you're describing. I want to also be kinder to people on the left who might have that type of thinking because it took a lot for me to break out of that, like break out of the shackles of that kind of thinking. They're not bad people.
Starting point is 00:31:02 They're just cautious and they're worried and I totally understand them because I used to think like that myself. But I also want to be very clear that there is a contingent on the right that thinks that way as well. Oh, definitely. Yeah, exactly. So this is not like simply or uniquely a left-wing problem. It's the way that we've been conditioned to think by our mass media.
Starting point is 00:31:24 We've been conditioned to think that ordinary Americans simply because they might vote differently from us are just irredeemable and we shouldn't even talk to them and we should never work with them. They have an interest in pushing that and pushing that type of culture and they have succeeded to some extent. We need to make sure that they no longer succeed in that. Now I want to move on, I want to move on to, wait, wait, wait, go ahead. No, I want to answer your questions. Okay, so look, to Anna's point, we've all been brainwashed. And you know, I got brainwashed into believing so many things like that they were having real debates in Washington when I was younger.
Starting point is 00:32:01 That's hilarious, what a joke, right? But how was I supposed to know? The entire mainstream media lied to us and told us that the politicians were really having debates, they didn't tell us, they never told us to this day that no, no, the donors are paying them, it's legalized bribes, and they're doing exactly 100% of what the donors want. So with a, and by the way, you should all hate each other, and you should be in two different camps, so you should never look up, you should always fight against each other. So I get it, we all lived it.
Starting point is 00:32:30 So I'm not getting on you and saying you're a bad person, I'm glad that Anna is clarifying. I'm saying, brother, sisters, we gotta get past out brainwashing when it comes to Israel, when it comes to war, and when it comes to this partisanship issue. So now, look, in terms of how do you do it? Well, we tried it through Congress. I started just Democrats with some other great folks, and we got a bunch of people elected. That didn't work. They, unfortunately, I mean, like AOC just refused to endorse a bunch of great Democrats
Starting point is 00:33:02 who just won in New York because they were running against her beloved colleagues. I mean, that's crazy. That was the exact opposite of what Justice Democrats was supposed to do. So that experiment didn't work. Nevertheless, though, Anna, now some badasses have been elected to Congress. There are people who are not taking any corporate PAC money or full bore against APAC, and it's driving APAC, and the establishment absolutely crazy. So that's a great sign.
Starting point is 00:33:27 It's a great sign of the times that Democratic voters have finally snapped out of it, and they're not listening to Democratic leadership anymore. They realize that those guys lied to them and have never. delivered on Democratic policies. So that's a beautiful day in America. But most importantly, you don't need 200 people to win in Congress. You just need one person to win the presidency. And how do I know that?
Starting point is 00:33:51 Because Donald Trump just did that over the last decade. He redid the entire Republican Party by winning a primary and then winning the general election. So we just need one honest, strong, courageous, smart person. Is there one person like that in the country? I believe that there definitely is. We find them, they win the Democratic primary, and then the spotlight that a presidential candidate and then a president can bring to any issue is the key guys. So right now, if there was someone who chose to focus on money in politics and getting an amendment
Starting point is 00:34:28 to end it, we could end it like that. You think it's really hard? No, 93% of the country agrees with us. That's according to polling. 93%. The minute that that issue gets attention, we win. But everyone in Washington is basically working to make sure that that never becomes a national issue. Because they know that the minute money in politics becomes a national issue, we're gonna end the corruption because Americans despise it no matter which party they're in or if they're not in any party. And so that is why
Starting point is 00:35:00 we just need one honest guy. And if he will, The wins the primary and we all get together and support them, and that is the most important part of unity, and we get the presidency, we can get that spotlight on that issue, and then at that point, we're the favorites, they're the underdogs. But without political power and without media power, it cannot be done. You can't just whisper to your neighbor and have that work. Believe me, we've tried a billion ways to try to do that and get it through the grassroots. But that's okay, the grassroots finds that leader.

So let's move on to some other elements of what Tucker's been saying. He's been on a tear because he's been going on so many different shows and interviews. But in a conversation with Sky News, Tucker Carlson shared some of his regrets, including his previous rhetoric on Muslims and the religion of Islam. He says the following, quote, many times I said on television, the problem is Islam.
Starting point is 00:36:37 The problem is Muslims. They all want to kill us. They're all crazy. They're all in this lunatic suicide cult created by Muhammad in the seventh century. And I believe that. And then he says, I was hysterical. I believe that. No, that's not true.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Nothing about that is true, but I believed it. Now, I'm sure that's set off a ton of, you know, Muslim hating right wingers who have like really built a career off of fear mongering about Muslims. But I mean, this isn't the first time he's expressed this regret. In fact, he feels that he kind of went along with neocon foreign policy. And honestly, demonizing all Muslims and fearmongering about Muslims is a huge part of, you know, building support for the neoconservative foreign policy that really has dominated this country for the last three decades.
Starting point is 00:37:38 But I'm curious what you think about that statement, Jank, is someone who was born Muslim. Yeah, look, this is another thing that I didn't realize until much later in life and I'm a little bit embarrassed about it. But it is very, very clear now because you can trace the Israeli supporters in our media and in our politics and see that this idea of hating Muslims comes directly from them. And it is incredibly well coordinated.
Starting point is 00:38:05 So I would be very interested if we ever had an honest. as president that could investigate to see is there coordinated talking points coming from a foreign government that would mean that those people are foreign assets that are meant to drive up bigotry in this country. And by the way, Arabs are also Semites. So is there a coordinated campaign to increase, massively increase anti-Semitism against Muslims in this country? And it certainly looks like there is.
Starting point is 00:38:38 And the fact that now very prominent figures on the right are recognizing that and saying, don't go into that type of bigotry, don't believe it, don't practice it, get out of there, it's not right, we've got to treat everyone as equal, should be an incredible development, a wonderful, positive development. But instead, everyone in media is like, you should be bigoted against Muslims. Tucker Carlson's an anti-Semite. No, he's fighting against anti-Semitism, maybe more spectacularly than anyone in the country. Oh, right, I know, for people in media, Muslims don't count.
Starting point is 00:39:18 They're part of the people spreading the bigotry against us. So the fact that Tucker and others on the right are fighting back against that, I mean, Anna, it is a topsy-turvy world. You have the biggest figures on the right saying, don't be bigots, and you have the biggest. Most of the people in power saying, yes, as long as you're biggest against Muslims, you should be bigots. Yeah, and let's not forget, there are plenty of Democrats who are also bigots. They tried to temper their language or their rhetoric a little bit. But at the end of the day, they engage in the same type of fearmongering in order to manufacture consent for Israel's wars.
Starting point is 00:39:54 But speaking of wars, he weighs in on Iran during this Sky News conversation. And he says, I think Trump sincerely allowed himself to convince himself that killing the Ayatollah, The head of Shia Islam would somehow collapse the country. Various intelligence agencies told him that wasn't true. The Israelis told him it was true. When a couple of days in, it turned out to be totally false. I think he was enraged. He also warned Trump of the consequences,
Starting point is 00:40:25 or at least he says he warned Trump of the consequences of entering this war. He says, what's the Bush presidency about? It's about the Iraq war and the financial collapse of 2008. Those are its defining facts. And that will be you. This is what he allegedly told Trump. Like, this is going to destroy your legacy. It doesn't matter what else, I said to him, you're the Iran war guy, if you do this.
Starting point is 00:40:50 He knew that. Boy, did he know that. But he did it anyways. And so the interview, an interviewer Yalda Hakim said of his statements, I asked him whether this conflict could become for Donald Trump, what Afghanistan became for Joe Biden. The question was a personal one. Having reported extensively on the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, I have long felt it was the turning point of Biden's presidency, the moment many voters began to question his leadership. And how to Tucker answer that question or that statement, he said, oh yeah, of course, it's the end.
Starting point is 00:41:28 not a setback, the end, meaning the end of the MAGA movement. And so of the MAGA movement, Carlson says that's over. There is no future of the MAGA movement. She responds, this war caused the end. And he just straight up said, yeah, yeah, this is the end. Yeah. Well, again, you can't ask for better than this. He's attacking Trump.
Starting point is 00:41:55 He's saying MAGA's over. He's defending Muslims. He's fighting against bigotry. So you move on to other topics. You'll have plenty of disagreements with Dr. Krausem. But on these topics, if I wrote it out myself, I couldn't have written it any better. In fact, I would have said, no, no, that's kind of over the top.
Starting point is 00:42:15 And so it looks like to me, and what is he trying to do? Win over the Muslim American voting block? No, that's not a relevant. I wish it was a more relevant voting bloc so we can get some balance in our foreign policy, but it's not right now. Is he trying to win over Muslim American donors or Muslim American viewers? There just isn't enough in the country for that to make a difference. Hence, I believe he's being genuine, and that is amazing.
Starting point is 00:42:44 And I give him a ton of credit for that. Well, when we come back from the break, we'll weigh in on just how disastrous this war against Iran has been for our American troops because CBS News of all places looked into what's actually going on. What are the casualties? How badly wounded are our soldiers? And we've got some details on that and more coming right up. What I did was I vouched for his sincerity. I can't keep track of too many lies. You know what I mean? All right. Back on TYT. Super Platinum Man on Super Chat says, Jake, do you see the viral out of context video by Zionist made of you talking about Hamas and Hezbollah Yes, I have seen it.
Starting point is 00:43:36 No, it's not going viral. It's just Israeli bots just reposting it over and over. And I think it's hilarious. They take it out of context and they have old clips of me saying that when Hezbollah or Hamas did terrorist acts that killed civilians, I was deeply opposed to that. That's my position now. So, and they're like, well, you are principled and you don't want Hamas or Hezbollah or Israel killing civilians? Yes, thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you for showing everyone how brissible I have. They just, they think like, oh, this will get them. Why would that get
Starting point is 00:44:17 me? Because they think you only support your own ethnic side and fairness is totally irrelevant. Well, I don't think like them, because I'm not a bad person like Israel supporting people who say that the genocide is a great thing as long as you're doing it to Muslims and Christians. Irish towel writes in on YouTube member section. I never liked Tucker before, but he's coming a long way. Randy Fine ate my handle says, it seems like Israel are the real anti-Semites. They've killed a lot of Arabic-speaking people and continue to do so in Gaza and Lebanon daily.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Definitely. Israel is probably per capita is by far the most anti-Semitic country. That's not even close. They despise Arabs. And so Abby Norma X says they become, they come back as lobbyists referring to the politicians. That's definitely true. Pixelt says that Democrat versus a Republican, eternal war is so ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Neanderthals versus K. And meanwhile, thousands of innocents die. What a pathetic. They want to make you drink Starbucks every day from now until forever. All right, back on TYT, Jen Canana with you guys, Unknit Channel 87. Thank you for joining. We appreciate it. Young Turks members make this show possible.
Starting point is 00:45:39 We literally can't do it without you. All right, let's go to the next story. It's not that I'm mad at Trump personally, it's that I just grieve for what his decisions in the Middle East have done to the country. And not just the war with Iran, but being a slave of Israel. What? You're an American, dude. This is humiliating to you, not that I care, but to me, I do care. And my country, I care a lot.
Starting point is 00:46:04 You can't be a slave to a foreign power. Stop. So that's why I'm upset. but I'm rooting for him every day as I would root for anybody leading my country and we lost the war that's why we're settling. We lost in the sense that we didn't achieve any of our goals
Starting point is 00:46:22 and Iran is now more powerful than it was when we started but we could lose much worse than we did by continuing and the outcome would not change which a lot more people would die and our power would be even further eroded. Yeah, Tucker's not the only American furious that we're not getting reality about the war, including how many casualties we've had. So Anna, tell us about that.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Yes, in fact, some of the family members of our troops have been speaking to the press about what the reality is, and we're not getting the full story. Now, so far, the official story is that, you know, 13 of our soldiers have tragically been killed. There could be more, but we don't know that for sure yet. The real question is when it comes to the soldiers who have been wounded, how badly have they been wounded? Because if you were to take Pete Higgis's word for it, well, turns out he's a big fat liar. In fact, here's what he had to say previously about American casualties. Right there, green jacket.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Mike, Mike Bress with the Washington Examiner. How many American casualties have there been and where were the American service members when they were injured? I mean, it's a bunch of return to duty. So we've had a whole, the large, large majority have gone in for some medical treatment and returned to duty. We've had in Kuwait, Jordan, down across the southern flank a little bit, a variety of places, most from one-way attack strikes. But I want to clarify that. I think what we try to do here is clarify those numbers rather than saying, KIA or WIA wounded, be more clear about that because the overwhelming majority, almost 90%, thank God,
Starting point is 00:48:08 are return to duty, minor injuries return to duty. So that number can look a certain way in our jobs to get some fidelity to it. Well, a new investigative report by CBS News of all places. I mean, usually they provide cover for the Trump administration and glaze the Trump administration. But in this case, their report shows that both Hegseth and General, Cain totally downplayed how badly some of our servicemen and women have been injured. So just to give you a few excerpts from this report, Chief Warren Officer Rodney Berman's body was riddled with shrapnel in the early hours of the war on March 1st
Starting point is 00:48:49 when an Iranian drone slammed into his workstation in Kuwait. Medical records show he also suffered a concussion, hearing, and vision loss and damage to his lungs. The army has classified his condition as not seriously injured. Then you have Sergeant First Class Corey Hicks, 37 years old, also suffered severe shrapnel wounds from the blast and underwent multiple emergency surgeries in a Kuwaiti hospital. He said his wife was told by an army official after the strike that his injuries were minor. Obviously not minor. Once stabilized, Hicks was airlifted to a hospital injure. and later to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where he required inpatient care. Usually that's not something to expect when you just have minor injuries, you know, inpatient care.
Starting point is 00:49:45 And it wasn't for a day, it wasn't for two days. He received inpatient care for several weeks. And in fact, he remains at the hospital four months after the attack with a severe traumatic brain injury. He is expected to be there for another six months. So minor. It's so sick. This is so sick. So in several cases, injured service members said that they had been cleared for duty, but that duty involves active orders to recuperate from injuries in specialized soldier recovery units.
Starting point is 00:50:21 So when you're telling the American people, the soldiers are okay, their injuries were minor. they've already returned to duty and it turns out what they're considering duty is recuperating from their severe injuries, it's very clear they're lying to you. So that's what's really going on here as to why these injuries aren't being treated as combat casualties. The reason remains unclear. I mean, we can definitely speculate, right, Jank? Yeah, super clear. No, the reason is they want to minimize how badly the war is going. And so they want to pretend that it's going well. So number one, they're obviously lying. If you can't tell they're lying, God help you, right?
Starting point is 00:51:02 So I mean, Anna just proved it to, there's absolutely no question. So is it just 13 casualties? I don't know. They lied about the planes that were shot down. They hid a whole bunch of planes that were shot down. So, and this is not that abnormal. Most militaries, including the US military, have a pattern of completely lying to the press, and then releasing their,
Starting point is 00:51:25 real numbers, at least in our case, most militaries don't even release the real numbers, two weeks, a couple of months after the conflict is over, and the press dutifully reports the official story the whole time that the war or the conflict is going on, and then they bury the story when the real numbers come out later. And so that's how this game is played. Look, the media is not that bad on this issue, because they do aggressively question them on this. But at the end of the day, when they go to write their stories, they all print the official government story of however many casualties they said. When I think there's an easy tweet to that, Anna, I think that they should say every time
Starting point is 00:52:08 the U.S. government or the Pentagon claims there's been 13 killed and X number injured, but you know, they do not have a great track record of being honest about these issues. And a lot of their stories don't hold up to scrutiny. Like you could get, it's you're allowed to give your readers the actual context of what's happening. Yes, the Pentagon will yell at you. They're supposed to, you're supposed to be journalists challenging the powerful, not just regurgitating the talking points they gave. Let's discuss something that just isn't discussed enough in America today, anti-Semitism. Let's talk about that for a minute.
Starting point is 00:52:50 So we have, that we know of, 13 American soldiers, our service members, gone. They are dead because of the fact that our president was persuaded by Israel to enter a war against a great power. That's what Iran is. It's a great power. Enter a war against Iran, population of 92 million people on Israel's behalf, on Israel's behalf. So when there is ire among Americans directed toward Israel, can you please understand why that Iyer even exists in the first place? Okay, because if you think it has to do with this deep-seated hatred for people with Jewish identity, you're a moron. And in fact, you're either a moron or you know what the truth is.
Starting point is 00:53:44 You just don't want to lend any credibility to the very reality that Israel's behavior and the fact that they have really, they have costed the American, they cost the American people a lot, not just in terms of money, but in terms of blood, okay? In terms of human lives. The Israelis said from the very beginning, we're not going to send a single IDF soldier there. And then they proceeded to say repeatedly that the Americans need. to go in and retrieve the nuclear dust,
Starting point is 00:54:15 knowing what the fate of those soldiers likely would be. This spring, denim gets a softer, lighter update. Introducing Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg, a new fit that moves with you. It's everything you want denim to feel like for summer. Easy, breathable, and effortlessly cool. With a fit that creates natural movement and a wide leg that feels modern, not overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Plus, that signature, wait, for the same thing, This price moment. Old Navy's drapy denim wide leg. When you consider the terrain, when you consider the military capabilities of Iran, when you consider their surveillance capabilities, which Colonel Douglas McGregor was talking to me about in detail on the show yesterday. So the ire toward Israel right now from the American people has nothing to do with hatred of the Jews or toward the Jews. It has everything to do with a country that feels entitled to using our people. our Americans, our soldiers as cannon fodder.
Starting point is 00:55:17 That's what it is. Yeah. And then you put you, and then you put economic, you know, strain on the global economy as a result of that choke point, the strait of Hormuz being shut down. Yeah, people know that this war is for Israel. They're not stupid. Everyone knows what the truth is. Sorry, go ahead, Jake.
Starting point is 00:55:34 No, no, not at all. So look, as usual, if you take out any, take out of Israel, put in any other country, look at how absurd it sounds. If Nicaragua had pushed us into wars against almost all their neighbors, but even if you put that aside, pushed us clearly into a war that has proven to be a disaster for us economically, but also physically, 13 Americans at a bare minimum killed all those casualties over $100 billion. And people were mad at the Nicaraguan government or our politicians that took money from the Nicaragua lobby or our media that was randomly so pro-Nicaragua that if you said any, against the Nicaraguan government, they'd call you a racist and try to destroy your career. Everyone would find that enormously strange, first of all. The second of all, do you think it would be, if when Americans objected to the war that Nicaragua
Starting point is 00:56:29 created and turned into a disaster for America, somebody said, oh, it's because Americans are just racist against Nicaraguans, that anyone would believe that? Or that Americans are just racist against Latinos? And that's the only reason they're objecting in Nicaragua's wars? Or because the Nicaraguans are Christians and that's why we're objecting? No, we're all objecting to what actually happened, the policies. But so to Anna's point, look, I don't know the percentages, what people, what percentage of people who support Israel in this country think, well, obviously we're using
Starting point is 00:57:08 anti-Semitism as a weapon. It's been our greatest weapon. destroyed almost all of Israel's critics, and then we get to use American media, and then when you say that we're using American media, which is super obvious, then we get to cancel you again. Are there a group of people who believe that, who know that, and who are helping to execute that strategy super-callously and immorally in this country? Yes, there definitely are.
Starting point is 00:57:33 But are they the majority? No, not at all. Even among people who support and love Israel, I believe the overwhelming majority believe They believe their, drank their own Kool-Aid, they believe their own propaganda because they're the number one victims of that propaganda, and I would know that. Who got more Turkish propaganda growing up? You or me? Me, obviously, right?
Starting point is 00:57:53 And so I believe a lot of the Turkish propaganda growing up, I get it, I've done your drug, I understand it, right? But if you think, no, yeah, Israel's done nothing wrong at all. And what, this war? But bro, we already know, the New York Times already reported. There is absolutely no question that at a bare minimum, the Israelis talk Trump into this war, let alone all the other factors behind the scenes. So that is an established fact.
Starting point is 00:58:22 But if you still insist, no, there is no war. Israel didn't push for it. There is no genocide. Israel's never done anything wrong. You only irrationally hate Israel because you're a bigot and you hate Jewish people for no reason. Well, number one, you're obviously deeply irrational, right? We're not irrational, you're irrational. And so you gotta snap out of it, and if you don't snap out of it and you keep attacking
Starting point is 00:58:53 everyone else's anti-Semites, when they're actually wonderfully decent people trying to stop genocides and wars, then you also make enemies out of all of them. So then you go, oh yeah, you're an anti-Semite, you're a bigot, you should be pro-Gener. Otherwise, you're racist, you're bigot, we're going to cancel it. When you do that to the entire country, oh wow, people are upset. You couldn't figure that out, rocket scientists? Come on, man, that's the most obvious thing in the world. But when you're in a cult, it's super hard to see straight.
Starting point is 00:59:28 Yeah, it is super hard to see straight. But, you know, I definitely do think your previous denial of the Armenian Genocide had to do with propaganda. But there is something very different from your experience and the Armenian Genocide versus what's currently happening right now. The Armenian Genocide, I mean, the official date is 1915, right? There were atrocities prior to that, but that's the date that's commemorated as the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Genocide wasn't live streamed in 4K. there weren't endless video, you know, surveillance footage, whatever you want to call it, proving what was going on.
Starting point is 01:00:10 I mean, there were some images, there were some photographers who did manage to capture what happened, but obviously the technology back then was very different, which is why when you look at the genocide in Gaza, it's considered the most filmed, you know, the genocide with the most evidence because there's so much footage of it. There's so much evidence of it. And so I just, I'm going to push back a little bit because I think as a product of your pure heart and your ability to always see the good in people, you are under this assumption that the majority of people who are going around smearing people like us as anti-Semites, they just drank their own Kool-Aid. They bought into the propaganda. They genuinely don't think that a genocide is happening in Gaza. I disagree. I think there's plenty of Zionists who know exactly what's going on. They absolutely love it. But they don't want to admit that they're supporters of genocide. So they just deny the genocide is happening as it's clearly and obviously happening. That's what I think.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Now, it doesn't have anything to do with my pure heart. I'm telling you, I know humanity. We can miss ourselves of absurd things that can't possibly be true. We convince ourselves of it all the time. The minute you're honestly like society and culture brainwashes you into anything, right? It could be positive things like eating with a fork at night. It could be negative things like my religion is better than your religion or my race. or my ethnicity is better than your race or whatever it might be.
Starting point is 01:01:32 There's a giant range. It is very, very hard to undo that programming. How many people leave their religion and do an actual analysis of all of the worldwide religions and pick the best one? Some do, but not a lot. Almost everyone is convinced the religion they were born into is the right religion. That shows you the power of propaganda. I'm not saying your religion is wrong because I don't know what religion you're in, right?
Starting point is 01:01:59 Right, if you're watching this. I'm just telling you, did you really do a thorough analysis? Right? No, we, and I'm not doing just saying that to blame you. I'm just trying to get you to understand how the human mind works. Like, we all get, you know, tricked into believing a million things that don't make any sense. So, Anna, I would be shocked if the percentage of, like, whatever words we want to use here, Zionists in America, was high that said, Oh yeah, I know it's a genocide.
Starting point is 01:02:30 We're killing the Palestinians and their children, but I'm going to lie to the other Americans who are schmucks and working for us. I think that percentage is tiny. I think the much larger percentage genuinely have gotten themselves to believe, even though we all see Gaza's utterly destroyed. Every hospital's been bombed, every school's been bombed. Today, Nanjahu bragged that they now seized 70% of Gaza. But I swear to you that every Zionist out there, that, oh, that, that, you know, that,
Starting point is 01:02:59 is in the category I'm talking about, we'll think, no, no, the Palestinians made us take their land. They made, like, and we destroyed guys up, but they're to speak to Hamas and the tunnels. And they just repeat it over and over like a cult. They repeat the same talking points in their own head a thousand times until they can't think of anything else. And they're taught that the rest of the world is enemies. And so you, so they have an open mind to the rest of the world. No, they're all anti-Semites. They're all out to get us, right?
Starting point is 01:03:28 So why would I listen to a guy who hates me and is out to get me? So they can't see straight. So the reality we're seeing is super obvious to us. So they seem kind of crazy to us. You don't have eyes? You didn't see what happened to Gaza? There's 23,000 dead kids. How could you not be moved by that?
Starting point is 01:03:47 But people don't get, why do you think that the Germans didn't do anything to fight back against the Nazis? The Japanese didn't do anything in the rape of Nanking and the Cambodians and the Serbs, etc. They all get into this, humans have a mob mentality. And we're not always in that mentality, we're very susceptible to it. And so that's why all the different races and religions throughout the world have at different times, gotten to a point where they think, no, we have to kill everyone else, and it's totally justified. And right now Israel's doing it. And so it is totally absurd to say they, no.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Now, I was like, I think it's absurd to say they all intended and they all love the genocide. I think that's crazy, way, way over the top, in my opinion. On the other hand, if you're a Zionist and you want us to say that the genocide didn't happen when we have eyes and ears, and you want us to say that it's okay because Israel did it, that is a really monumentally unfair ask. And then you want to insult us and call us anti-Syodorants. I don't mean me and Anna. I mean, at this point, the great majority of this country and almost every country on earth, if you insist that we're all the bad guys for opposing a genocide,
Starting point is 01:05:06 and you're the good guys for creating a genocide, don't be surprised when people are angry at you. You're deeply irrational if you get surprised at that. All right, I still disagree with you, but that's okay. We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we'll just weigh in on other things, including, well, a fight that is brewing within the right wing. It's not what you expect, though. We'll be right back. Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? Rich and powerful men abusing, assaulting, and abandoning young women.
Starting point is 01:05:49 These rich and powerful men donate to the politicians in Washington, D.C., play golf with the elites in Washington, D.C. They are foreign leaders who we don't want to offend. They interact with our intelligence agency. that we don't want to disobey. There is something rotten in Washington. And are people still talking about this guy, this creep? All those congressmen you just saw there are on the record as protecting the child rapists who were clients of Epstein. They have not prosecuted a single person outside of Epstein and Maxwell.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Yep. Not one. Is Trump engaging in this cover up because he's in the Epstein files? I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. Pretty boring stuff. So as the government keeps telling us, yeah, there's other people. Yeah, they rape those girls. So what?
Starting point is 01:06:39 We're going to cover up for them. But why are you guys so mad? A nation that chooses impunity for the rich and the powerful at the expense of our children is a nation that has lost its moral purpose. Are you on the side of the people? Are you on the side of America's children? Or are you on the side of the rich and powerful who've had their thumb on the scales and shafted Americans for decades.
Starting point is 01:07:06 The rest of the news media says you should not fight for positive change. If you do, you're not really a reporter or a journalist, because reporters and journalists don't care what happens. I don't agree. That's not written anywhere. That's not a law. It's just a rule that they invented so that reporters didn't actually challenge the people that are in power.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Well, we don't agree with that. We think we should challenge the people in power, that that actually makes you a better journalist, not a worse one. What do you guys use? We have AT&T. And how much do you pay per month? $3.45 and that includes a company discount. How many people?
Starting point is 01:07:51 Five phones. $70 a line, right? I've started a wireless company called Noble Mobile that is trying to cut everyone's bills in half. What would, like, a family of four costs? The average Noble mobile user is paying 42 a month, but also they're using their smartphone 17% less. Okay. How's that work out?
Starting point is 01:08:10 We give you $20 back in cash every month. based upon how much data you use or don't use. You know when you're doom scrolling or messing around on your phone, you're like, oh, wait, I'm actually costing myself money right now. The goal with Noble Mobile is to encourage us to look up at our children's lovely faces, like touch grass, appreciate life. A friend of mine calls these things are rectangles of sadness.
Starting point is 01:08:33 So we're trying to change that and improve everyone's relationships with their phones. It's a very noble cause. Well, thank you, sir. That's what he is. Been on YouTube for 20 years. The original political partner on YouTube. The Young Turks.
Starting point is 01:08:46 The Young Turks. Godfather of independent media. Favorite news platform by far. Oh, it's not even close. The Young Turks. It's the largest online news show in the world. I watched you guys before I had a channel at all. And I watched Jenks.
Starting point is 01:08:59 So Jenks really the start of it all. Big shout out to Cheng from Young Turks. Jenk Yugar, founder of TYT, a man who probably needs no introduction. Jenk, it's so great to talk to you. Great to you, David. Dan, you worked for a long time, man. Anna Kasparian is one of the most followed and influential progressive women online. I love Anna.
Starting point is 01:09:19 Your presence has been essential for me to really grow. Do all of you know the young Turks? This is why what young Turks are doing is so important. I've watched you for many years. You are insightful. I thank you for that. I was going to introduce myself, but it sounds like you guys might know it. What I did was I vouched for his sincerity.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Tucker Carlson, a terrible friend. All right, back on TYT, Jane Hidana with you guys. Let's go to our next story. Allies want to do the plans business with you. And Turkey is definitely one of them. They want their one-time jet engines and they want their 35 fighter jets. Are you going to Turkey with a big gift bag? I think so.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Yeah, I think so. Look, he's a member of NATO. Some people don't consider himself, but he really, he's a strong member of NATO. Yeah. I'm going to probably do something that's going to make them bring him. There's an explosive fight over Turkey coming up in Washington. Trump says let's sell them some weapons because they're a NATO ally. Israel first contingent, which is pretty much the rest of Washington, goes, no.
Starting point is 01:10:48 Why do they not want to sell weapons to Turkey? Well, there's a legitimate reason and an illegitimate reason. Let's talk about it, Anna. Well, look, before I get to the details of this quickly developing fights, even among the right wing, Let's actually hear more of what Trump has to say about Erdogan, who of course is the leader of Turkey. And by the way, the person's sitting next to Trump as he's making these statements for those who are unfamiliar with him is NATO Secretary General Mark Root. He's sitting next to him as Trump is singing Erdogan's praises. Take a look. You know, he was a prime candidate to go into the war with Iran, maybe on the Iran side, because he's not a big fan of Israel as you know.
Starting point is 01:11:32 And I asked him to stay out. He stayed out. Erdogan's a great leader, a very strong person, great military. And I asked him to stay out and he did. Look, he loves Turkey, right? He's doing a great job. He loves Turkey. I love the US, but he loves Turkey and he's doing a great job. He's a respected man or respected leader. And he's been a friend of mine.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Erdogan is a strong man, but he's been everything I've ever asked him for. And Turkey has a huge defense industrial base. 3,000 companies working all over the alliance, also in the United States. So strong. People don't know how big Turkey is in terms of the military. It's a very strong. They have a lot of our equipment, a very strong military because of him. Now, it doesn't surprise me that the Secretary General Mark Rout made reference to Turkey's
Starting point is 01:12:22 weapons manufacturing capacity as it seems like Europe is gearing up to go to war against. Russia in a few years, which I don't think would be a good idea. But anyway, that's an entirely different topic for an entirely different day. Just to give you some more information on this, in the arms sale at issue, the Trump administration asked congressional leaders to approve the sale of U.S. made F-110 jet engines for future use in the con fighter being developed by Turkey. Now, in order to sell weapons or jet engines to Turkey, Trump would need to override a hurdle that's been put in place by Democratic Congressman Gregory Meeks. Now, Meeks claims that he's actually very, very concerned about the fact that Turkey is in possession of a Russian S-400 air defense system, which Turkey purchased from Russia about a decade ago. But why would anyone be concerned about a country's defensive capabilities, regardless of where they got it from?
Starting point is 01:13:29 Well, some worry that the Russian system could gather important information on U.S. technology if you use side by side an issue that has also stymied Turkey's attempts to buy advanced American F-35 fighters. So I'm assuming that's what you think the legitimate reason is, Jank. But before you explained why you think that's the legitimate reason, I'm going to preemptively challenge. this notion because if we are worried, if we're genuinely worried about spying, well, think about the fact that we have Republican lawmakers who think spying on the US by our allies really is no big deal at all. I give you Senator Ted Cruz. Is it in America's interest for Israel to spy on us, including on the president? It is an America's interest to be closely allied with Israel because we get huge benefits for
Starting point is 01:14:21 And you want to see the clear. But I just want to stop on the spying for a second. That it takes place, as you know, including on the president of the United States and several precedents. And I just want to know if that's okay and why is it okay? Wouldn't an American lawmaker say to a client state, you're not allowed to spy on us. I'm sorry, I know why you want to. I'm not mad at you, but you're not allowed to. Sure.
Starting point is 01:14:42 And I don't care for it. I don't want to be spied on by you. Is that, it's kind of weird not to say that, but you don't seem able to say that. Sure, I would say don't spy on us. They're going to anyway. And by the way, the Brits are, the Canadians are, like, I don't think. Well, I'm not for that at all. I think it's disgusting.
Starting point is 01:14:58 But we don't actually pay their, you know, we're not their most meaningful sponsor. Now, of course, in the case of Turkey, Republican lawmakers are very concerned that, you know, some of their, you know, defensive capabilities, which they purchased from Russia, could potentially be used to spy on the United States, which is why we have to limit. By the way, I want to limit weapon sales, period, period, period, period, period. It would be ideal to limit weapon sales. So this is not me defending Turkey, but the double standard here is so obvious. And also you need to be asking yourselves, why do we have a growing number of lawmakers
Starting point is 01:15:38 who are raising concerns about Turkey all of a sudden? Okay, so we'll get back to that in just a second. The reason why I'm raising this is the double standard that we're seeing, right? So for instance, this doesn't make a lot of news, but it's going to be covered here at TYT where we actually care about what's fair, what's right. An Israeli citizen, let's take a look at this graphic, this graphic three. Israeli citizen sentenced for conspiring to steal trade secrets. So what is this story about?
Starting point is 01:16:06 Well, it's about a 48-year-old Israeli citizen living in Arizona by the name of Guy Galante And what he did as a Cedar level manager for green technology investment, GTI in Scottsdale, Arizona, is essentially gather trade secrets for a Taiwanese competitor to this semiconductor chip manufacturing process. So beginning sometime in early January of 2025 and continuing to August 2025, Galante conspired with another individual who hasn't been named. named yet to steal GTI's newly created glass detect design. Galante's co-conspirator sought to recreate GTI's new design as he operated a Taiwanese company that directly competed with our American-based company GTI. Galante was charged for conspiring to steal a trade secret on September 10th of last year and was arrested the following day.
Starting point is 01:17:07 Now, he was held without bail, apparently, or he was, you know, he was detained until he was finally until he finally pled guilty. And then he was sentenced to time served and three years release with, you know, basically they're going to release him for three years supervised release. But, you know, not a big deal. These types of stories, by the way, all over the place involving Israeli citizens. They're spying on us, stealing trade secrets. Are we doing anything to limit the weapons that we send over to Israel?
Starting point is 01:17:42 Of course not. Of course not. It's totally fine. And Jank, the reason why people are fearmongering about Turkey right now isn't because Turkey also armed Azerbaijan to ethnically cleanse Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. No, who cares about that? The reason why they're raising concern is because precious Israel sees Turkey as the next country they want to go to war with. In fact, if you don't believe me, why don't we go to that Naftali Bennett video? Let's take a look at that. Let me just ask you whether there's a risk of further confrontation with Turkey based on comments that you said in the past. Well, we need to ensure that Arduran doesn't create a new alliance of radical Islam Sunni version, meaning an access between himself, Julani, Qatar, and Hamas. We've been facing for many decades of the Shiite radical Islam. And I hope that Turkey doesn't choose to foment terror and Islamism in its power. Just today, Gideon Tsar over in Israel said that he is proposing that the Knesset recognized the Armenian genocide, which is hilarious to me. You know, Israel's one of the countries that doesn't recognize the Armenian genocide. are they doing it because they want to respect and honor the dignity of the Armenian people?
Starting point is 01:19:13 Or is it because they're trying to get under Turkey's skin by acknowledging a reality that Turkey refuses to acknowledge. I think we know the answer to that. Going back to Meeks, though, Meeks pretended like he was worried about spying. But then, as the Wall Street Journal notes, he's also concerned, he also has other concerns about Turkey's role in the region. Gee, I wonder what that's about. A-PAC is trying to drum up support for war against Turkey. Here's one example, recent post on X. Why is Turkey harboring Hamas terrorists? I don't know, why is Israel harboring a lot of terrorists, Israeli terrorists.
Starting point is 01:19:52 IDF soldiers are terrorists. And then, you know, you have the Israel loyalists in Congress weighing in on this as well. Let's go to Josh Gottheimer, who says Turkish President Erdogan has cozied up to Hamas and Putin. while threatening our allies, Israel, Greece, and Cyprus. Yet the Trump administration is happy to sell them advanced engines to power their fighter jets. Erdogan cannot be trusted. This decision must be reversed. I'm curious what you think, Jank.
Starting point is 01:20:19 That's so weird. All of these people who are pro-Israel in America, all attacking Turkey at the same time and saying, they're religious lunatics. We got to get them. I'm a terrorist. Just like the leading candidate in the Israeli elections. Huh, that's so weird that these people who I'm sure are not Israeli assets are doing the same exact talking points as the Israeli government while pretending to be Americans.
Starting point is 01:20:45 Okay, we'll come back to them in a second. So what's the legitimate issue here? Look, to Anna's point, there's two buckets here, if you're a realistic, you know, observer of the news. There's a bucket for all other countries and then there's the bucket for Israel, two completely different rules. So we'll get back to Israel in a second. But in the bucket of every other country, what we're worried about in regards to Turkey is,
Starting point is 01:21:08 yes, the Russian S-400 air defense system that they bought back in 2017. And so we're worried that if we give them the F-35 engines, they use the F-35s, the Russian system will pick up some of the information about the F-35s that might help the Russians detect the F-35s and combat the F-35s. That is a legitimate issue with this sale, and that has been around since 2017, and Congress has passed laws against it. But that's not like, that's within the bounds of normal and not something that there was a coordinated campaign against throughout all of this time.
Starting point is 01:21:49 Like that didn't involve politicians or different media figures coming out and doing propaganda against the Turks and calling them terrorists. We're just worried about a specific issue there, and I think that's a legitimate concern, And I think that we would be concerned if the Canadians bought a Russian S-400 system in the same exact way, right? So now when you move to the bucket of Israel, those are completely different rules, and we all know that, right? So if we're worried that the Russians might pick up information from that system, but we're
Starting point is 01:22:21 not really sure, so we're really concerned about them getting our sensitive intelligence, Well, if you move to Israel, well, they got all of our sensitive intelligence when they stole all of our top secrets with Jonathan Pollard. And we released Jonathan Pollard and let him go back to Israel where he now lives in comfort, putting America down nonstop and encouraging other people to betray America. Why would we let one of, like the one of the worst spies in the history of this country, why would we let him go? But wait, that's not all.
Starting point is 01:22:56 Hold on. I have to have to just buttress your point there because it's a really important one, Jank. Senator Tom Cotton has proposed a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act that merges Israeli intelligence with U.S. intelligence. So it's not good enough. It is not good enough to merge our militaries. Cotton wants to ensure that we have no choice. We mandatorily have to share our intelligence with the Israelis. That is what the provision says. Yeah, so I'm getting there. So then there's Robert Maxwell who stole our nuclear secrets. They also, the Israelis also legendary Mossad spy and father of Galane Maxwell, who also collected intelligence that could be used against very powerful people in America. I'm sure yet another
Starting point is 01:23:43 startling coincidence. And then they also stole our nuclear uranium and they also stole our nuclear triggers. And not only that, after 9-11, dozens of Israeli spies were arrested here in this country. Now, I'm not saying they're connected to 9-11, but what did we do with those spies that we caught? They're all still in prison, right? No, we released them immediately back to Israel. That is not within a thousand miles of normal. We didn't even arrest Robert Maxwell. We didn't try to arrest Maxwell. That is not within a thousand miles of normal. And so if all of this intelligence stealing and very, very, very literally stealing from us wasn't enough, not only did Israel build weapons of mass destruction with that information, but they also pass that information
Starting point is 01:24:33 on to who? The Russians, back when it was the Soviet Union and our top enemy, a mortal enemy, giving them our nuclear intelligence, but yet the consequences for Israel was zero. Nothing at all. That is not normal. That is stunningly weird. Now, we fast forward to today, releasing all their spies is not enough. Having them steal all of our technology is not enough. Tom Cotton says, let's just make it official.
Starting point is 01:25:04 Let's join the Mossad and the CIA together so the Mossad could steal every piece of intelligence that an American government has. And that's not all, then in Congress, both parties are talking about merging military intelligence and technology so Israel can officially steal all of our intelligence and all of our technology and our disgustingly corrupt politicians authorize it. And by the way, all of this on our dime. So when Israel buys weapons from us that they use for genocide, that's free, gratis. Turkey at least actually buys the weapons.
Starting point is 01:25:38 Okay, now Turkey does have more F-16s than any other country outside of America, and they actually pay for them. So is Neftali Bennett right? Oh, you know, these Turks are very religious fundamentalists. No, Turkey is historically one of the most secular countries in the world. It's in its constitution. Now people in Turkey are concerned that Erdogan is whittling that away a little bit, or maybe a decent amount.
Starting point is 01:26:07 They're internally concerned about that, but still as far as the laws and the Constitution is concerned, one of the most secular countries on earth. So Naftali Bennett is 100% lying about them. There is actually a country filled with religious lunatics, and that's Israel. A huge percentage of Israel's Jewish citizens believe that God promised them land 3,000 years ago, whispered it into their ear, and that is why they must drive out. the Muslims and the Christians who live in that land and seize it for greater Israel. That is a giant percentage of the Israeli citizens.
Starting point is 01:26:47 They are religious fundamentalists lunatics who believe that they are empowered by God to steal our technology and all of our intelligence to pay off all of our congressmen so they could take that military might and technology and the money we give them, use it to murder the Arabs that are Christians and Muslims and take their land. That is a super dangerous country. And one that is not just occupying the Palestinians and now the Lebanese and the Syrians, but I would argue is occupying Washington, D.C. And hence our country, and that is why you have some legitimate concern about Turkey and
Starting point is 01:27:26 other countries, and we deal with that in a rational way. And then you have the category of Israel, where we say, no, we are not going to do anything rational, we are going to be slavishly serving this tiny, tiny country in a gigantically bizarre way. They have a get out of jail free card on everything, and yet our media goes, I don't notice, I think the real problem is Turkey. And Anna, that's the difference between what has happened since 2017 in regards to the S-400 and what's happening today.
Starting point is 01:27:57 There was not a coordinated campaign to do propaganda against Turkey, they were just like, hey, that's an issue, and we have to deal with this issue with a business. very important ally. Now, by the way, they say, oh, he's working with the Russians. Do you know that Turkey is partly funding the war against Russia in Ukraine? And that it's Turkey's drones that the Ukrainian is used to devastate the Russian tanks. Every single thing that FDali Bennett, and hence all of American media, says in unison, is a giant lie. And so when they all attack Turkey in this propaganda war, that leads you to see, oh right, the Israelis would like to to attack Turkey next. And look at that. All of these American politicians and media figures
Starting point is 01:28:39 all of a sudden come out and say, Turkey's the worst. We have to make sure you demonize the Turks so that we can launch another war on behalf of Israel. That's right. We got to take a break. When we come back, we're going to tell you why Gad is sad. And it has to do with his debate performance on Pierce Morgan uncensored. This guy's supposed to be an intellectual. We'll show you just how intellectual he really is. All right guys, remember we're on sub-sac too, so check that out. Quick thing that I didn't get to from the last story, but I want you guys to know if you're members, because I didn't know this, so that's why I wanted to share with you. Last thing from the
Starting point is 01:29:30 last story, Wester Journal also said in the midst of that story about Turkey, NATO air defenses also detected and shot down Iranian ballistic missiles aimed at Turkey, including at a nuclear-armed U.S.-Turkish military base. Did we all know that the there are nukes in Turkey? I didn't know that. That's fascinating news that they threw into the middle of a story that seems like gigantic news to me. It's not that the Turks have nukes. It's that we have nukes on U.S. military bases inside Turkey. Fascinating. Okay, let's go to member comments. On Twitch, we've got Althea Kinsey, 1984, saying hello to the best news team. Well, you're wonderful for saying that.
Starting point is 01:30:18 We appreciate it. So, yeah, that's a good point by YTP renewed. Remember when people were fearmongering about Chinese trade secret theft? I tweeted about that story that Anna told you about that trade secret theft from the Mossad agent. And people are like, how dare you? You're not allowed to criticize them. What is this? Okay, yeah, they can get us.
Starting point is 01:30:42 How about that? They can get us, okay? They are the enemy. That's what they are. They're the enemy. Okay. Call me whatever you want. Call me whatever you want.
Starting point is 01:30:52 Yeah. Buddy X. Lecondo says, I know there's a bunch of news to talk about, but I'm here for Jenks' opinion of the World Cup match tonight. Oh, brother. What are you doing to me? Okay.
Starting point is 01:31:01 So I'm rooting for America and Turkey, obviously. I'm also rooting for Argentina and Norway, a bunch of other places. But Turks have embarrassed themselves. Terrible showing. All right, back on T. T. Jank and Anna with you guys also, Keith Goscindio, there's no way I said that right,
Starting point is 01:31:34 but I love you for joining. They hit the join button below on YouTube, which is super important to us if you can, become a young Turks member and help us do honest news reporting, which you're not getting a lot of in this world, that's for sure. All right, Anna, what's next? Well, we're gonna talk a little bit about a debate
Starting point is 01:31:50 that took place on Pierce Borgon uncensored, aren't we, Jank? Yes, we are, you're right. God's sad or God's sad day for you, is a guy who pretends to be an intellectual on the right. And he used to be known for being on the right a little bit, but now he's mainly known for being pro-Israel and all their genocide and their wars. But he'd like to be on that side and he'd like to be a heavyweight intellectual, but not debate anyone. Why?
Starting point is 01:32:19 That's right. That's right, Jank. That's right. You know, real intellectuals refuse to engage a debate. They're just so above it. And that's the case for Gad Sad, apparently. So he was recently on Pierce Morgan uncensored. And while Pierce absolutely loves to put these debate panels together, I love the rough and tumble personally myself. Turns out that sad has a pretty pathetic excuse for why he refuses to engage in debate.
Starting point is 01:32:44 You're about to hear it. Let me just mention something you wrote in your book about Gabon Marte. Now, the full disclosure, we wanted you to debate with him. You don't like to do debates. Out of interest, why don't you like doing debates? That's a great question. I'm always happy to debate someone if up priori, I feel that both parties could potentially have some means of being swayed away from their anchored position if the appropriate
Starting point is 01:33:19 evidence were presented to them, right? So there is nothing that I could ever share with Dr. Mate. that would ever alter his opinions, and therefore it's a futile exercise. That's why I love speaking to you one-on-one because you're such a charismatic guy. Well, thank you for your full slattery. But I mean, just full disclosure, Gabon Marte is listening to this debate, and the reason for that is that you dedicate two pages in your new book to him. So I can't help myself.
Starting point is 01:33:55 I mean, it's such a bitch move to excoriate someone in your book. You know, be a big tough guy when you're writing your book. And then when you have an opportunity to actually have a discussion or a debate with the individual that you're writing about in your book, oh, I'm not really interested. I'm not interested because I can't persuade him. I can't change his mind. But, Jank, as you and I both know, you don't engage in debate because you're looking to change the mind of the individual you're debating.
Starting point is 01:34:24 you're attempting to make a strong case to the spectators, to the people viewing the debate. That's the reason why I engage in a debate. I've never once thought, oh, I'm going to do another panel with Shabos Kestenbaum, and suddenly, you know, my arguments are going to persuade him that genocide is bad. No, of course not. But I know that Pierce Morgan has a massive audience. They're listening, and they're going to judge based on who makes the strongest arguments. I mean, I would venture to say that Gaddad knows that.
Starting point is 01:34:53 But he also knows that his arguments aren't strong. So he's using this very convenient excuse for why he doesn't want to engage with Gabor. He just wants to write about Gabor Mattae. Yeah, you know, when I think of the number of people who have been commissed in the middle of a debate that the other side is right, it's not a large category. Now, sometimes it happens on the Young Turks. Anna and I will be talking back in the day Ben Manquitz and I, and I'll say, or Anna will say, well, that's a good point. I hadn't thought of that, you know, let me think on that, right? Or you're right about that. And now these days, to be fair, Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly have kind of apologized and
Starting point is 01:35:29 Glenn back to some degree, to have limited degree, and said, hey, I was wrong about X, Y, or Z. And so I give them that, although it wasn't necessarily in the middle of a debate. But my point, obviously, is that that is a very, very rare thing that happens. And Anna is absolutely right. That is not why you're debating. You're debating to convince the third parties that are watching at home, right? And Anna's also right that if Gad's sad day for you standard was correct, then would we ever debate a Zionist? Zionists are the most immovable people on earth.
Starting point is 01:36:05 I've never seen people with more closed minds in my life. Like you show them 23,000 dead children and they're like they had it coming and you can't move them off of it. They made us killing them. And they believe in the most nonsensical things. It's not even close to being on planet Earth, and you can't move them a centimeter off those positions. That's not why we're doing the debate.
Starting point is 01:36:27 We're doing the debate so the people at home can figure out who's right and who's wrong. That's exactly right. Now later, right after that moment that we just saw, Pierce Morgan wanted to make a point about the kinds of things that were being claimed about Gabor Mote. By the way, that's Aaron Mante's father in Gad Sade's latest book. And so he's going to read the details and then just watch what happens next. You do whack him in the book. You say this.
Starting point is 01:36:58 Gabel Martyr is a Canadian physician who has built a self-help empire on the back of his supposed empathetic and compassionate handling of patients who suffer from addiction. He argues that the root of addiction is childhood trauma. And you also go on to say that Dr. Marta, who was raised Jewish in Nazi-occupied Hungary, was a former Zionist who has since become a prominent critic of Israeli policy. You say this, Marti's infinite well of intergenerational empathy does not apply to Jews, though. He knows as a Holocaust survivor, and you put the word survivor in quotation marks, what true trauma is, and he never fails to remind the world that the Palestinians are suffering
Starting point is 01:37:38 a genocide at the hands of the Nazi-like Israelis. There is nothing noble about the Marti duo, Aaron, his son, is also a regular guest on our sense. uninformed fools engaging in malignant narcissism masquerading as infinite compassion. So those are the kinds of statements he has to say about both Mates. So Aaron Mote and his father, Gabor Mote. But what I found particularly disgusting Jank is that not only did SAD defend what he said about Mote. He, Gabur Mote is a genocide, not a genocide, a Holocaust. I'm a Holocaust survivor. He is a Holocaust survivor.
Starting point is 01:38:19 He is. But Gadsad denies that. So I just, we have one more video on that, I think. Let's go to the next one. Gabor Matte is a Holocaust survivor in that when he was six months old, he was passed on to another family to be protected. But to say that you're a survivor when you're six months infant is like arguing that I too I'm a Holocaust survivor because I was a spermatozoa in my dad's testicles in the 1940s.
Starting point is 01:38:53 A six-month-old infant is not cognizant of the reality around them. So there's no meaningful way by which he can then argue that because I'm a Holocaust survivor that suffered at the hands of the Nazis, I could tell you that the IDF is infinitely worse than the. It's a rhetorical device that is being used to justify his position. So according to what you just heard from Gad Saad, if you were a child who wasn't fully cognizant that a Holocaust was taking place as you were being victimized by said Holocaust, then can you really consider yourself a Holocaust survivor?
Starting point is 01:39:37 I mean, of course, Gabor Mote was living in Nazi-occupied Hungary, meaning that when his mother was pregnant with him, she was living in Nazi-occupied Hungary. And that couldn't have possibly had any impact on Gabour Mante's life at all. He couldn't possibly be a survivor because he wasn't cognizant that he was in the middle of a Holocaust, and he was victimized by a Holocaust. He couldn't have had any impact on his development
Starting point is 01:40:05 in a Nazi-occupied place in the world where people are being starved, where people are being denied things that are obviously being denied to the Palestinian people in Gaza as we speak. It couldn't have had any impact on an infant, right, Jank? So wait, did he survive the Holocaust or did he not survive the Holocaust? He did, right? He did. But if he don't support Israel, not good enough.
Starting point is 01:40:31 It's disgusting. That was disgusting. What I just saw, what you all just saw is so horrific. This guy hates Palestinians so much. hates Muslim so much that he is willing to throw a Holocaust survivor under the bus. If said Holocaust survivor understands, recognizes, and communicates to people that what's happening in Gaza right now, what's happening in the Middle East right now is wrong. So that's why, look, I say that Zionism is a cult and it has nothing to do with Judaism.
Starting point is 01:41:04 It is a nationalist cult. I mean, it has a religious component for the religious fundamentalist settlers and others in Israel, but it's a cult around the nation state of Israel. So, and we prove it to you all the time because they don't just attack Muslims and Arabs or, or anyone who opposes Israel. They also attack Jews who don't support Israel enough in their opinion. We've told you that there's been pro-Israel groups here pretending to fight anti-Semitism that have put together a list of self-hating Jews that they are targeting,
Starting point is 01:41:40 for destruction here in America. Those are in the thousands of names. In fact, the only groups that have names of Jews to be destroyed in this country are pro-Israel groups. That is insane, okay? Now on top of that, not good enough. They're now attacking Holocaust survivors on behalf of Israel.
Starting point is 01:42:02 No, this Zionism is an out of control cult and they don't care about anyone else, including other Jews if and Holocaust survivors if they're not sufficiently loyal to the Israeli ethno state. Now we do have one more moment that I wanted to share with you because rapists are bad, full stop. It doesn't matter what their identity is if you are raping people, whether you be part of a Pakistani grooming gang, whether you be, I don't know, part of any other group that's carrying out those types of crimes, you should be punished.
Starting point is 01:42:39 to the highest extent of the law. But you're about to hear Gadsad essentially, I don't know, equivocate when it comes to which rapists or worse? Take a look. But I don't like the leap many take, including Robinson, that the whole problem is purely Muslim, purely Islam. It's a religion issue because I just don't think that is true. Look, Jeffrey Epstein was Jewish. Harvey Weinstein is Jewish. But they didn't commit those crimes invoking specific tenets of Judaism to justify their debauchery. Many of the Pakistani Muslim men who were grooming and raping those little girls used the pretext of their religion to then argue, look, those girls are negesis. They're impure. If we have at it with them, that is perfectly reasonable within our religion. I mean, I think that's irrelevant. I'll tell you why. Because as you know, the vast majority
Starting point is 01:43:45 of Muslims do not interpret the Quran to mean that kind of stuff. And so I would say there's no difference. If you're a victim of Harvey Weinstein or Jeffrey Epstein or these appalling, grooming gangs of the north of England, you're a victim. And it doesn't matter to me if they've used or invoked their interpretation of religious tracks, which many people are their own religion, think the complete opposite. First of all, that whole framing by Gadsad is so disgusting. Like, look, the Jewish rapists, though, they're just, they're a little bit more moral because they don't turn to religious doctrine to justify their rape. Okay, you want, you want, if you want to play this game, we could play this game. Because what has Israel been using to justify
Starting point is 01:44:33 the endless slaughter that we've been seeing in the Middle East over the last two and a half, nearly three years. What have they been referencing? What is the Greater Israel Project? And why do they feel entitled to expanding their borders, which means ethnically cleansing people, displacing people, slaughtering innocent people? What do they point to? What is at the heart of the Greater Israel Project? And of course, you want to talk about rape. Do you want to talk about what's happening in Israeli prisons right now with Palestinian hostages, because we could talk about that too, gad. Yeah, back to you, Cenk. Yeah, if this is what the Zionists have for what's considered an intellectual, oh boy, they have really lost a thread here. So let's first talk about the debate
Starting point is 01:45:17 thing for a second and then get into the heart of that argument they just got into. So he says, oh, you know, I don't want to debate anyone because I can't convince anyone. Well, then what are you doing here, brother. Okay, so that doesn't make any sense. But the real reason, like there is a reason why you might not want to debate someone. They're bad faith actor, they're gonna take clips out and try to go ha ha, and they're not going to have an honest conversation with you. That's possible, right?
Starting point is 01:45:43 But that's not why he doesn't want to debate Gabon Mante, because he can't call him an anti-Semite without looking like a jackass. And Gabonati is a wonderfully moral Jewish person who's against the genocide and exposes Gabor-exposes Gadsad for the monster, immoral, inhumane person that he is. So that's why he doesn't want to debate him. So now when you look at this thing that he's doing, the sophistry that he's doing, he said, well, look, when Jews committed crimes, that's okay, they're just as individuals.
Starting point is 01:46:10 But when Muslims commit crimes, they're all guilty. That almost sounds like bigotry. Well, you say, oh, no, no, no, it's not bigotry? Oh, good, really? Can we flip it? What if someone said the exact opposite? When Muslims commit crimes, they're just doing it as individuals. But when Jews commit crimes, all Jews are guilty.
Starting point is 01:46:27 That doesn't sound as good, right? Now wait, why doesn't it sound as good to someone like God Saad? Well, because he's a bigot. And he thinks it's okay to smear all Muslims. Now, if you say it about Jews, of course, it's unacceptable, and I agree, it's totally unacceptable to say it about all Jews, all Muslims, all Christians. But he says he doesn't agree. The intellectual says, no, you get to be bigoted against Muslims. Now, let's take the heart of that argument.
Starting point is 01:46:56 But what if he was right, right? Well, you all know, I mean, we've seen different Muslim individuals do terrible things throughout our lifetimes, right? And if you put it all together, you take the grooming gangs, the terrorists, et cetera, that have hit the West, and you take that as a percentage of the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, it is a microscopic number. A couple of hundred people versus 1.6 people. Hey, you wanna say maybe it's a couple of thousand people if you have a broader category, a couple thousand people versus 1.6 billion, a microscopic percentage. On the other hand, there is a country filled with religious lunatics and who believe in violence to get what they think God has promised them.
Starting point is 01:47:43 That country is Israel, filled to the rim with religious lunatics who think that God told them 3,000 years ago, how would they know? No, no, God told me, Yahweh told me that I have to take that land. It was promised to me. Well, how are you going to take land that somebody else is on? Well, you murder them and then you take their land. Oh, gee, what did Israel just do? Even if you leave aside the history of 48, 67 and center, now we're talking about today,
Starting point is 01:48:11 we saw it with our own eyes. They just, today, Netanyahu bragged about how they now have conquered 70% of Gaza, and they're keeping it. See, it was never about self-defense. It was about the religious lunatic idea of greater Israel, that God had promised them most of the Middle East, and they have to kill all the Muslims and Christians on there. Now, does every Jewish person believe that? Absolutely not.
Starting point is 01:48:35 In fact, Gabor Mante, he doesn't want to debate him, because there's a ton of wonderful Jewish people who don't believe that at all, okay? Does everyone in Israel believe that? No, but does a huge percentage, including all the settlers, believe that? Yes. And per capita, which country has the most religious lunatics? Not close. That are willing and actually do do the violence to kill people in other religions to take their land.
Starting point is 01:49:02 Not close. That is Israel by a landslide. And in order to distract you from that clear fact, what do they do? Squirrel, Muslim, the grooming gangs, well, to be fair, that happened just last week, right? No, that happened years ago. So why are we talking about the grooming gangs now? Because a pro-Israel legislator wrote a fake report going, oh, I think blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and this is very important.
Starting point is 01:49:28 Hey, British media, do as you're told. Everyone talk about this and blame all Muslims. If you blame all Muslims, all Jews in any category like that, you are by definition a bigot. That is what Gadsat is. That is honestly what the huge percentage of Zionists are. But they get to proudly say that all over media and nothing ever happens. If anyone were to say all Jews are responsible, they would obviously be eliminated from media instantly. They would never be allowed back on any show.
Starting point is 01:50:00 But Gadsad will be on other shows, other Zionists will be on other shows. And they'll say they're deeply racist, bigoted. And by the way, anti-Semitic message nonstop. They'll say, hey, no, if you criticize Israel, it's all Jews. You have to blame all Jews, that's anti-Semitic. And then they'll attack Holocaust survivors and other Jews, that's anti-Semitic. And then on top of that, they say Arabs are also semi. So like, oh, murdering Arabs is no big deal.
Starting point is 01:50:24 You can't get any more anti-Semitic than that. Murdering 23,000 Arab children in Gaza is no big deal. You can't get more anti-Semitic and bigoted than that. And that's Gadsad and most of these sick, sick, extreme Zionists who believe they are entitled to genocide. entitled to all of our money in America, entitled to be bigots against Muslims, but they don't want to bother their intellectual self by engaging in debate with anyone moral or decent because they know they'd get their asses handed to them. Yeah, totally embarrassing. All right, let's go to one more story before we wrap up the main show. I'm done. I'm not in a fucking political party. I'm I am totally comfortable in a political party that spends time,
Starting point is 01:51:13 questioning the policies of the government of Israel. In fact, I'm enthusiastic about that. I don't want to be in a political party that denies the right of the state of Israel to exist. That's just not, I just can't do that. I'm sorry, it's just not doable. That's James Carville, who pretended that unity was the most important thing in the world when his beloved Hillary Clinton was running. Now go, unity, I don't believe in that at all. I hate progressives. And anyone who dares to defy Israel, oh, well, then that's it. I'm the Democratic Party. Here's your walking papers, bitch.
Starting point is 01:51:47 Go, there's the effing door. Who the hell needs you, okay? Oh, you want all the Democrats to serve Israel? When 80% of Democratic voters have an unfavorable opinion of Israel? Having you kissed Israel's ass enough throughout your career, James, that on your last legs you're out here going pimping for Israel, trying to destroy the Democratic Party and being against eight out of ten Democrats? they hurt your beloved Israel's feelings.
Starting point is 01:52:15 And by the way, lying on top. That's just me getting warmed up. Anna, tell us more about this. Well, I was just going to toss to the next video so you can get a better understanding of what set him off, but that's definitely going to set you off. So you know what? Let's have fun. Let's go to the next video. She has attacked interracial relationships in the American flag.
Starting point is 01:52:36 Lady, I ain't the same party as you. I'm sorry. I just not. And I actually do think it's time for Democrats to talk the S word, schism. I really do. Everybody's always said, no, no, we're a coalition, we're a big tent. And there's just some that I can't be in the same tent with. Well, young Democrats are not interested in supporting candidates who have taken money
Starting point is 01:53:06 from the Israel lobby or who defend Israel's actions in the Middle East. In fact, young Americans, both in the Democratic Party and Republican Party, would like to decouple from Israel, and they really don't care about whether or not Israel exists. And that's not just me saying it. It's based on the polling. And that makes James Carville lose his mind. Now, he is furious over the results of the New York elections where the Zoran Mamdani endorsed candidates beat out Democratic incumbents in the primaries. he should ask himself why, why these candidates who he thinks are too extreme and do in some cases hold positions that I might disagree with. Why would they win so easily in the primaries? And the reason why is because we've had enough. We'd like to live in a sovereign country, James. We would like to see our tax dollars benefit our country, James. I don't give a damn about
Starting point is 01:54:07 Israel. In fact, Israel's relationship with the United States is a stain on our country. And just because you don't realize it, because you happen to be part of a generation that was brainwashed like crazy about how wonderful Israel is, doesn't mean that everyone else is brain dead. Okay, young people know what's going on and we can't wait to get all these corrupt, disgusting pro-Israel Democrats out of office. And it will happen. Yeah. So let's break it down a little bit more. So is it that we agree with everything that Chevalier says that's one of the women who won in these races? Like, for example, the interracial marriage stuff. No, I don't agree with that at all.
Starting point is 01:54:46 Do I even agree with everything Mom Dani says, no, I've told you I don't believe in rent control and there's plenty of policy discrums. But do I like that they won? Well, first of all, it's not my business because it's the voter's business. But James Carville says, no, if you don't pick the people that we want, it has all of my policy positions, then I'm going to leave the party. And to which I say, again, bitch, get to step in, okay? We don't need you. We don't need you at all. In fact, you've done great damage to the Democratic Party by insisting, oh, no, you have to
Starting point is 01:55:14 be for corruption, you have to be for money in politics, you have to be for Israel, you have to be for a different country, not your own country. Well, it's the corruption, stupid. Maybe that's the phrase you might remember. So he says, man, they said that Israel doesn't have a right to exist, really? Who said that? Give me the quotes, okay? Because what he's trying to imply is that not just the politicians, but the voters, the
Starting point is 01:55:37 Democratic voters that voted for them are somehow what? Because the unspoken part is that they want to murder everyone in Israel. No, that's not what they're saying at all, you monsters, you liars, okay? The people being murdered are not the Israelis, it's the Palestinians and the Lebanese and the Iranians, which Israel has attacked over and over and over again. But a genocide of Arabs doesn't bother James Carville at all. You know why? Because Arabs have never funded the Clintons, his best friends, who got him into power.
Starting point is 01:56:09 So since they never got, he never got funding from any Arabs or Muslims, he doesn't care about their lives at all, at all. But he's like, taking money away from beloved Israel in the middle of a genocide, well, I can't be in this party. Good, F off, please leave immediately. And you're accusing 80% of Democratic voters, but wanting to kill people? people wanting to do monstrous things? No, it's you and your disgustingly corrupt friends in the establishment who have been in favor of all of Israel's wars, all of their war crimes,
Starting point is 01:56:42 their crimes against humanity. But yeah, I know, James, it doesn't count because they're just Arabs and Muslims. And they're getting in the way of your power that you get from the Israeli lobby, right, James? You're going to be honest about it? Have you taken, have the Clintons taking money from the Israeli lobby? Tons and tons, millions upon millions upon millions. But James is gonna tell us, oh, that didn't affect them at all. It's just their natural law from Israel. We love to do you, James?
Starting point is 01:57:11 Do you? I think you're a paid bitch. That's what I think. Oh, you wanna cry about it? It doesn't matter, you're not in our party anymore. So James Carwell is no longer a Democrat and he could F all the way off, accusing 80% of Democrats of being monsters, you're the monster. So no, we don't have to agree with everything Shevallier says, or Mum Donnie says to say,
Starting point is 01:57:33 hey, add a boy for representing your voters, your actual opinions, and not the opinions of a lobby, whether it's a corporate lobby that has been robbing us blind thanks to the Clintons, thanks to every disgustingly corrupt Democratic leader like James Carvel, who have been robbing the American people of trillions of dollars, giving it to big foreign, big oil, A-PAC, et cetera. Yes, thank God you're out of the party. I love it. I wish if every establishment Democrat,
Starting point is 01:58:03 that was a Democratic leader in this party left the party, the Democratic Party would be a billion times better off. Back to you, Anna. I mean, look, maybe Arabs didn't fund the Clinton's campaign. But did the Arabs blackmail Bill Clinton with the Monica Lewinsky thing? I don't think they did. I don't think they did. If you don't know, there's a book written, no one's denied it.
Starting point is 01:58:27 That says that Benjamin N. Yahoo, before the public knew, went up to Clinton and said, we have the Monica Lewiskey tapes. Gee, I wonder how they got the Monica Lewinsky tapes. All right, because Israel spies on us all the time. James, you know that that disgusting country stole our nuclear weapons and now threatens the Middle East with weapons of mass destruction? They stole our uranium. They stole our nuclear triggers. They stole all of our top secrets.
Starting point is 01:58:49 And they stole your honor and your morality and your decency. and they made you their sad, pathetic servant. You want to talk insults? We can go insults all day long. I'm a Cajun, Cajun. Oh, yeah, I get to say this. Well, I get to say something too, Mother. Okay, I love your energy right now.
Starting point is 01:59:07 I'm going to go to one more video here. In this case, it's CNBC talking to Hakeem Jeffries about the fate of the Democratic Party. When the Democratic Party includes someone in that tent that believes these things, I don't think any of those things are going to solve what you just talked about or an answer to any of our problems that you delineate so eloquently. They were saying, you're next. About Hakeem Jeffries, you're next, you're next, you're next, you're next. You can't think this is a positive development in New York politics, can you? And all, they'll just, you know, Dems will be Dems or something like that.
Starting point is 01:59:45 I don't see how you can say that. You need to reject those things, I think. First of all, first of all, I've clearly rejected those things. That's number one. Number two, and my record speaks for itself. This is not a Dem's will be Dem's situation. Donald Trump is the president of the United States of America right now. Are you kidding me? And so I'm happy to talk about primary elections in one of the bluest cities in the country. At the end of the day, listen, our focus is going to be on ending this national nightmare. So real quick, Jenk, because why are these people so like crazed about the election results? Let's go to graphic 6 and 7. So Avila Chevalier refused to vote for Biden in 2020 over his long history of supporting war crimes, writing, quote, I voted in every election since I turned 18, but you're out of your mind if you think I'm voting for a war criminal. Funny, that was my take as well, which is why I did not support Biden when he was still in the race, and I did not vote in favor of Kamala Harris either. She also said, quote, I am an anti-Ziotist full stop.
Starting point is 02:00:58 That's the real reason why they're losing their minds. They don't care about rent control. They don't care about any of the other issues. And look at Joe Kernan. The Democratic voters decided you have to reject them as a Democratic leader to reject your own voters. They have been insolent and have disobeyed. Israel and Hakeem Jefferson said well that's not the issue obviously I reject them I'd like to do a distraction about Trump though You reject them I thought you cared about your colleagues. They're gonna be your colleagues there was a very blue districts
Starting point is 02:01:26 By the way they're calling everything anti-Semitic right do you know that District 10 in New York The one that Brad Lander beat Daniel Goldman in by over 30 points is one of the top three most Jewish districts in the whole country highest percentage of Jewish Americans So that district voted against Dan Coleman But all these liars on television, these lying politicians and their pundits are going out there and going, oh, yeah, they're anti-Semites. Totally made up, okay? Landers Jewish, Lander's Jewish.
Starting point is 02:01:57 Lander is Jewish. I know Ben Shapiro literally said he's Jewish in name only, but he's not adequate enough to be considered a Jew. Because that's because Zionists are deep anti-Semites against Jews who aren't radical Zionists who love genocide. All the decent, wonderful moral Jews in this country are called not Jewish enough by disgusting radical Zionists like Ben Shapiro and probably James Carville. And he says, you can't think this is a positive development in New York politics.
Starting point is 02:02:29 You know why Jill Kernan's saying that? Because he's so hurt by the idea that they would lose power. How could us, the powerful, lose power to these voters? Hakeem, you must reject the voters. And of course, Hakeem does. He rejects his own voters. because the great lobby of Israel has demanded it. So these are the sick people that are still in charge of our country,
Starting point is 02:02:48 but they're a little worried, not for much longer, and that's why you're seeing the panic in their eyes like that. Oh no, you must serve the lobbies and the daughters in Israel. How could you not? I bet so good, good, good. All of you, like the tiny, tiny percentage who want to serve a genocide-loving country like Israel, get out of the Democratic Party, I guarantee you, I guarantee you we will win till the cows come home. We will win so much because the great majority of the country is on our side.
Starting point is 02:03:19 And they're on our side, not because they're anti-Semites, but the exact opposite. Because they're a wonderful, decent moral people who are against these nonstop wars and these genocides brought to you definitively by the Israeli lobby that owns bitches like James Carver. All right. All right. We got to go. We've got an interview next. Go ahead, Shank.
