The Young Turks - What's The Deal? - June 22, 2026

Episode Date: June 23, 2026

Donald Trump reportedly issued a series of unhinged threats against Iran just as JD Vance was engaged in sensitive negotiations in Switzerland, raising fresh questions about whether the administration is undermining its own diplomacy. Meanwhile, the battalion linked to the killing of Hind Rajab has reportedly suffered major losses in South Lebanon, and the official Trump White House account stunned observers by publicly mocking Batya Ungar-Sargon for attacking the Iran deal.

Another while and woolly day. So Tucker Carlson has left the Republican Party. We'll tell you who else has because they're big names. Joy Reed is

threatening to leave the Democratic Party over the same exact thing. You're not gonna be surprised at what it is. And now there are new demands that everyone be called anti-Semite for several different things. You have to mourn the loss of Israeli soldiers invading a different country. No, thank you. You have to say that A-PAC is a wonderfully American organization, otherwise you're an anti-Semite. Also, no, thank you. Okay, and the list goes on and on, of course.

The folks trying to drag us back into the war are ever present. We'll talk about that. So so much to cover on today's show. Well, look, there's a lot to dunk on, a lot to feel a little bit depressed over. But I actually want to start off with some good news, which I guess since I consider it good news, they would consider me anti-Semitic. But I don't care because this is in fact good news. Let's get to the details.

All right, going to me. Hezbollah has killed Dorr, Godalia Ben-Simone, who served as the commander of the 52nd battalion of the IDF, otherwise known as the Vampire Empire. Apparently, they believe that he was involved in the killing of six-year-old Hinra Jab, and there are demands to mourn him. We will reject those demands. I don't celebrate anyone's death. I certainly don't have to pay homage to people who participated in a genocide.

We're very actively participating in it, and we're in fact invading a different country while killed in action. So let's break it down for you guys and talk about the consequences. Yes, let's please do that, Jank. And you know, Jank is a better person than I am. I am celebrating his death, and it's because he was the battalion commander who oversaw saw the countless slot, like the slaughter of countless civilians in Gaza. They were specifically in charge of the area where Hindra Job and her family were slaughtered. And if you don't remember Hindra Job, she was the little six year old girl who was trapped in a vehicle with her dead

family members inside. She called for help. And in fact, we have a recording of her pleas for someone to come and help her. And when the first responders showed up to save her, they were fired on. She was then killed because of over 300 bullets being shot at the vehicle with the IDF soldiers knowing full well that that little six-year-old girl was inside the vehicle. So that's the reason why I'm celebrating this guy's death. So I'll give you more details on him in just a minute. But here's Hindra Jab and her pleas for help. A desperate call for help from six-year-old Hind, terrified, trapped in a car. Everyone around her is dead.

Hind was in the car with her uncle, his wife, and their four children, trying to flee fighting from this part of northern Gaza. The horror in that car captured in this call for help from her cousin, recorded by the Palestine red crescent. It's got a in the second. You're in

the car. Hello? Hello. It's got a graphic two here. Units from the 52nd Battalion and

the 400 first armored brigade were operating in the Tel Aviv Al-Hawah area at the time Hind and her family were killed. Israeli military

radio reported that Ben Shimon had assumed command of the battalion two months ago replacing a previous commander who was seriously wounded during earlier fighting in Lebanon. So because of what happened with Hind, I guess they took him, you know, they suspended him as part of the battalion, but now he's back because the person who had substituted in his place was hurt by Hezbollah, by the way. Now, according to this post, apparently Shimon was 32 years old. And the commander of the 15th 52nd Battalion, 400 First Brigade fell in combat in southern Lebanon.

I send my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. May his memory be a blessing. So of course, some in Israel are mourning the loss of this man who oversaw the slaughter of a little six year old girl trapped in a car with her dead family members. There were others who were other IDF members who were killed in this Hezbollah attack. I can get to that in just a moment. But before I do, Jank, just your thoughts about all of this. Yeah, if someone sent their deepest condolences after Yaya Senwar was killed or

Hassan Nasrallah was killed, that was, you know, former head of the military for Hamas and for Hezbollah, they would have been considered absolutely outrageous by the American media. They would have been canceled immediately. So this is one of the worst battalions. It appears that he, certainly the commander of this battalion, which appears to be been, Simone, according to the reporting, ordered the death of that poor success. year old girl that you just heard, but also her entire family, also the health professionals that had shown up, which is obviously a war crime, every part of that is a war crime. And it is a battalion called a Vampire Empire because of all the war crimes they're alleged

to have committed. And so the person ahead that's the head of that has committed acts of terrorism. And so no, I don't send any condolences. So I think that if you treated Senwar, Nasrallah and Ben-Simone in the same way, I'd say that makes sense. And of course, as you all know, because I've repeated it so many times, because I'm trying to make up for everyone else in media, that never tells you. Israel has a worse civilian kill ratio than Hamas or Hezbollah or any other terrorist organization

in the world. It has an 83% civilian kill ratio, led by disgusting commanders like the one who just died in Lebanon. And there are never any consequences for their war crimes or for their war crimes. their genocide and so they're encouraged by the Israeli government to do it over and over and over again. And in fact, they have killed a hundred times what Hamas and Hezbollah have killed. So they're arguably a hundred times the terrorists. Now those are all facts and they're empirical, but people won't hear that here in America among the powerful. What they'll hear instead is

one guy is on the side of Israel. So you all have to bow your heads and show condolence to a guy who helped in mass murder, the murder of children, the murder of healthcare workers that were perfectly innocent? No, no, I do not send any condolences for that, right? And we're told that if they're Arabs or they're Muslims, you must hate them all, even if they're defending their own land. So that brings me to one more point that's super important in this context here. Ben Simone was invading Lebanon. Yep. And their Israeli leaders have said their aim is to take southern Lebanon. So that is an invading fascist army. And so someone attacking an invading army is not a terrorist. So if you want to call Hezboa a terrorist for hitting northern

Israel, or if they were able to kill civilians there, okay, that meets the definition of terrorism. Again, by that same definition, Israel has done a hundred times worse. Definitely. Okay, but if you say Hezbollah is terrorists for defending their own homes inside Lebanon, well, you're just lying. That is not the definition of terrorism at all. And by that standard, starting something new is terrifying. When we launched our shop TYT store, I was drowning in what-ifs. What ifs? What if no one buys anything? What if the site looks amateurish? I almost talked myself out of it. But I took the leap anyway, and I'm glad I did. Because Shopify made it incredibly easy to turn those what-ifs into real sales.

You'll be called a terrorist so any country can invade any other country and then call the people that they're attacking terrorists. Now, of course, one last thing, Anna, of course, that's not how American media handles it at all. The only time anyone is called the terrorists for defending their own home is if they're Muslim,

or by the way, these days Christian and the invading army is the Israeli defense forces, in which case our media then turns around and says, yes, the Muslims and the Christian Arabs are dirty terrorists. The invading army is the victim and is doing self-defense. That is an obvious lie. Well, again, I mean, it bears repeating the legacy media. Legacy media specifically is owned by Zionist interests. And anything that wasn't owned by Zionist interest was later bought by Ellison, David Ellison, Larry Ellison's son, in order to ensure that the narrative coming out of these

platforms, whether it be CBS, whether it be TikTok, which now Larry Ellison has a majority staken, the narrative would be pro Israel, and that is what we're getting. So I'm never surprised when that's the narrative that you see in like. legacy media, the only thing that's really challenging that is independent media shows like this, shows like breaking points, you get the point. Tucker Carlson is another example, right? I mean, he definitely has a bigger voice with the right wing. But I wanna just go back to the question of Hezbollah's conduct in southern Lebanon.

And I want you to kind of think of this in your own terms, in your own context, because if you were sitting in your home and someone forcibly enters in a violent way in a very, order to occupy your home. Who's the problematic one in that scenario? Is it you while you're in your own home, your own property? Or is it the person trying to bust in and steal your property? Now, that's on a very singular level. But that's essentially what's happening with southern Lebanon. And this isn't the first time Israel has tried to annex southern Lebanon. They keep doing it again and again and again. The only reason why Hezbo exists is because because after attempting to steal southern Lebanon multiple times, in the 1980s, Hezbollah forms

as a resistance to Israeli aggression. Israelis never take responsibility for their own behavior or their own actions. They think they're always innocent, even when they carry out the same crimes that they accuse others of doing. It's just amazing to me. Yeah, so look, a couple of things there. So guys, we're taking this from specific sources, like Mark Levine was talking about how This was like incredibly heartbreaking. Why is an invading army getting killed incredibly heartbreaking? Did anyone say, and by the way, actually some people did say, I remember saying that the Ukrainians were being so mean for attacking the invading Russian soldiers.

And I was like, what? Russia is invading Ukraine? No, like I don't have to have sympathy for the invading Russian army. And they said, well, look, you know, some guys in the tanks are just, you know, signed up and it's not their fault. Okay, that's a fair point. That's a fair point when it comes to Russia when it comes to Israel. This commander, by the way, doesn't seem like he was conscripted into the army, right?

He seemed pretty zealous about his job. He sure was. Right? But no matter what your standard is, apply it evenly. Applied evenly to the Russians, to the Israelis, et cetera. But the reality is the reason we're having what is actually kind of an absurd conversation here of are you allowed to defend your own home is because our media and our government says that of course you're allowed to defend your own home.

Unless Israel has attacked your home, in which case you're a dirty anti-Semite and a terrible terrorist if you defend your home. And that is so insane. Yeah. That is so ludicrous. And by the way, they will attack us for this segment. Good, attack away. Because they're saying, no, you have to bow your head in great consternation and sorrow for an invading army. They were in the middle of stealing people's homes and land.

And these terrorists got in the way, can you believe it? No, of course I can believe it. Anyone would defend their own land and that doesn't make them a terrorist at all. And finally, for me, Zionist does not equal Jewish. So for example, Robert Greenwald kind of owns a media company, who owns brave new films, runs it for a long time. And he's wonderful in fighting for actual Judaism and I think he's done a wonderful job of protecting the idea of true Judaism.

He's not a Zionist. Yeah, because he's not a Zionist. He's Jewish, but he's not a Zionist. It's easy to understand. People who are pretending like they can't understand it are pretending. So let's stop pretending like we believe them when they act like morons who don't get it. There are plenty of Jews who are not Zionists. Zionism is a political ideology.

Being Jewish is an identity. Okay, so if you still don't get it, well then you're either a moron or you're pretending not to get it because the only talking point you have, the only way that you can in your mind refute the obvious truth. is by smearing someone as an anti-Semite. So that's the only card they have. That's it. That's it. That's the one they play over and over and over again.

Exactly, exactly. All right, well, we've got a lot to get to in regard to what went down over the weekend with the negotiating between the United States and Iran. So, Jank, take it away. All right, let's watch this first. Does the U.S. want Israel to withdraw forces from southern Lebanon? Well, we want Israel's security to be protected. And we also want Lebanon's sovereignty to be protected. And this is going to be an ongoing conversation.

The Israelis have been very clear. They do not have territorial intentions on South Lebanon. The reason they feel they have to be there is because they're worried about Hezbollah fighters in South Lebanon firing into Israel. Yeah, that's not remotely true. And we're gonna show you receipts right now, showing you that the Israeli government has every intention of taking southern Lebanon. But what's interesting before we get to those receipts is that Israel says, J.D.

is not loyal enough. Even though he lies on behalf of Israel and he helps Israel in every way, because he is resisting slightly going into further disaster in Iran, they're like, how dare you disobey Israel? On your knees! And they've all been attacking him 24-7, and that bitch is still lying for them. So Anna, tell us the truth. Yeah, I mean, look, you have to make a decision.

Either you're going to be a dog for Israel, or you're going to decide to be honest and truthful. honest and truthful. There are no half measures with Israel. You have to be 100% loyal and you have to do as you're told. And so Vice President Vance, of course, is getting a lot of heat from the Israel first crowd. And he did lie in the video that you just watched. And I want to show you the evidence for why I believe he's lying. So Benjamin Nanyahu has said over and over again, we're taking southern Lebanon.

And even though he knows that the incessant attacks in southern Lebanon, the destruction of entire villages in southern Lebanon, is preventing a peace deal between the United States and Iran, he continues with their violence, their aggression against the Lebanese people of southern Lebanon. But of course, some of these strikes have gone even further north, as we've reported on before. Now with that said, here are the more recent comments from Benjamin Netanyahu. Establish a security zone in Gaza. We establish a security zone in Syria. We establish a security zone in Lebanon, and we shall keep it as long as is necessary to protect our people.

And the reason, the reason is perfectly understood. No country would be asked to do otherwise. Now you imagine the United States across the border. You have thousands, an army of thousands of terrorists who pellet your cities and your towns with rockets and ballistic missiles and killer drones. They kill your soldiers, they kill your citizens, they kill your children. And they threaten them every day. Well, what would America do? Would it say, well, there's nothing we can do?

Let's hold our fire. Is that what America would say? No, you know damn well what America would do. It would cross the border, create a security zone, kill the terrorists, and protect its people until the threat is removed. That's exactly what we are doing. America isn't incessantly attempting to steal land from its neighbors, whereas Israel is.

Hezbollah didn't come first. Israel came first. Israel invaded southern Lebanon multiple times. And in the 1980s, Hezbollah formed as a resistance to Israel as it was occupying Lebanese territory. And guess what? Hezbollah was able to end that occupation after nearly two decades of that occupation taking place. Now, we should note, and Jank has noted before, and I think this is a really important point. What does Israel want with southern Lebanon? Do they need more land or is there something deeper going on here? Is there something that they really have their eye on, Jank? Yeah, there's a giant gas field off the waters of Lebanon.

And so it is in Lebanese waters, but they claim that if they take southern Lebanon, that becomes Israeli waters. And then all of a sudden they own a $40 billion gas field at a minimum, okay? So by the way, you know, you could rename things anything you like. Cheney renamed Torture Enhanced Interrogations, as an example. And here what the Israelis have done is renamed Labensraalm a security zone. So the Germans called it living space that they needed to protect the ethnic Germans in the Sudeten landed in Poland, and they said it was for their own defense, and they were being

oppressed, and they needed a security zone, a living space to expand out of Germany. But it wasn't for expansion, it was for self-defense. And that's exactly what Israel is saying now. We look like we took 60% of Gaza and we brag about it and we were gonna make it 70%. That's what Net Yahoo said. It looks like we're shredding the West Bank and taking most of it. And it looks like we're taking southern Lebanon. But it's okay because we renamed Labens realm into security zones.

So we're allowed to steal your homes and your land. And if you don't agree, we're gonna say, well, what would America do? You would also commit a genocide? No, don't insult us with what you've done. You're the monster who committed genocide, not us. The only way that you've implicated us in it is by stealing our money, by bribing our politicians and using that money to commit the genocide. So you could flip the question Anna and go, what would America do if some country invaded

it saying that they needed a security zone and they took the entire southern half of the country? I think that we would fight back viciously, aggressively, not just our military, but everyone who's armed in those areas, and the Israelis would then call us terrorists. How dare you fight back against an invading army? And that's exactly what they're calling the Lebanese today. I'm just sick of having the same conversation every single day. They want the natural resources, they want the gas fields, they're not afraid of Hezbollah.

Hezbollah has made abundantly clear, we will stop attacking the invader once the invader leaves. But Israel doesn't want to leave because they want the gas field. It's that simple. Everything else you're hearing about this is BS. Okay, so let's go to the next video because on one hand, you have Netanyahu pretending this is all about a security zone. We're so afraid, we're so afraid, we're nuclear power, we're so afraid, okay, right.

But Ben-Gavir loves to just tell the truth and he does it every single day, he says it out loud. This is Ben-Gavir, Israeli national security minister. After we come back from the video, I'll tell you exactly what he said for our audio listeners. In fact that there's on certain in the

Lebanon. Lebanon, all Lebanon should have to have to be migration of our national

to be the matter of and I say I'm saying there there's Lebanon and there's

Chisbala not the national alhh a land there's

there's there in the government Chisbala Shams from the Chisbala.

There's some dundiot there has come Deneat In Toronto, Every arrival is a statement, and nothing says it better than this.

He says Lebanon, all of Lebanon, not just southern Lebanon, all of Lebanon should become our playground.

All of Lebanon should be our target. And they tell me, wait a second, there is Lebanon and there is Hezbollah. I do not accept this artificial approach, he says. There's more. He also posted this on X over the weekend. He says, for every tier of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers. must weep, all of Lebanon must burn. He didn't say Hezbollah fighters, he said Lebanese mothers.

Okay, so some people will say like, oh, well, he's on hinge, he's not representative of the Israeli government. I mean, how much more evidence do you need that he is representative of Israel and what they intend to do in the Middle East? How much more evidence do you need? We have a two and a half, nearly three year case study that you can look at where everything Smotrich and Ben-Gavir said was carried out. And then all the Israel firsters here in the United States, people like Jillian Michaels, for instance, people like Batya Ungar Sargon, all the people who denied that the goal was ethnic cleansing and genocide and occupation in Gaza have moved the goalpost or they don't talk about it at all. They never acknowledged that they lied, they knew what the truth was,

but they intentionally lied to make Americans think, I don't know, maybe, maybe Anna's wrong, maybe Gillian Michaels is right, maybe it's not going to be an expanded war in the Middle East. Maybe they're not gonna do ethnic cleansing in Lebanon. Maybe they're not gonna do ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza, but they did and they are. Yeah, and you saw Netanyahu there with your own eyes and ears and you heard them with your ears saying that we're not leaving southern Lebanon. And by the way, Knesset has already voted that they will never free the Palestinians, never. So they're gonna keep them as their chattel or their slaves or their indenture servant in open air camps. And now Gaza is so tiny, the amount that they've shoved 2.2 million people into.

You could argue it's a concentration camp. It absolutely is. And so, but they say we're allowed to do that. We have special exemptions because we are holy and beloved Israel and we can do no wrong, except for one of their most important guys saying all of Lebanon must burn. But they say that's an exception, is it? Let's go to Baselal Smotrich, the Israeli finance minister. He says, time to speak with fire to open the gates of hell.

This is exactly how Nazis talk. Terrorist. The cradle says, asked the military would stay for years in Lebanon. Smotrich said, yes. And I say this as someone who's currently holding negotiations over the management of the defense budget for the next decade. He stressed that quote, until Hezbollah disarms, we aren't moving a millimeter, adding that Israel's prime minister and war minister support the stance.

So the idea that all of Lebanon, including Hezbollah, is going to disarm is, in obvious excuse, because even if you meant it, how would you know if they completely disarmed? It is a purposely impossible standard, so they never leave. And it's not like they're hiding it. We just showed you the top three people in the Israeli government, and he's right, Israel cats their defense minister says the same thing. So the top four officials in their government all say, we're never leaving southern Lebanon. That means they came to conquer it and take it. And in fact, in other instances, Ben Gavir has called it a conquest. So the idea that they're doing self-defense and not aiming to keep the land or the water

or the natural rights involved is utter nonsense. It is a purposeful lie by people who support Israel to try to trick people who don't know better into supporting the military expansion of greater Israel and to finance it and to manipulate them, into giving their hard-earned money for those kind of genocides, ethnic cleansing, and war that they demand and feel entitled to. And look, I'll just wrap this up by saying, if you're going to pursue this, you should expect your soldiers to get killed. And over the weekend, five IDF soldiers got killed. And I guess we were all supposed to mourn the loss of invaders, occupiers, people who are blowing up entire villages in a land that doesn't belong to them. No, no, sorry.

Okay, they're not victims. They are the aggressors. And sometimes you F around and find out. By definition, someone defending their own land and their own home is not a terrorist. They're a freedom fighter against a brutal invading army. And by definition, someone who says all of Lebanon must burn is a terrorist and a fascist. And if you support that government, you're a genocide denier. you're a genocide enabler, and you love war, don't ever pretend you're for peace,

because this is obviously not about peace, it's about land theft to grow the empire of mighty Israel. And it is disgusting that they have bribed all of our officials, and they have stolen our money, those government officials, those politicians have stolen American taxpayer money to finance these atrocities and these crimes against humanity. When we come back, we'll talk about what happened during the negotiations with J.D. Vance involved. And there's a lot of happy talk today, but I want to give you the truth about what's really going on. We'll be right back.

Do you view Vice President J.D. Vance as your successor? No. All right, we're going to our members on TYT.com. Reading these blind bloated ego says, well, Israel struck Lebanon, I'd cut all funding. But if Donnie meant at all what he has been saying, he would get BB on the phone and say something like, okay, Beebe. You've now lost 50% of your funding. Do you want to try for 100? But that's only my pipe tree.

And I don't expect that amount of courage or leadership. I expect tacos. I was watching the evening news over the weekend and a field reporter in Lebanon actually said, I don't know how we can exert enough pressure on Israel to get them to stop. WTF, is this just crappy gaslighting journalism or crappy corrupt journalism? Probably both. The fourth estate is burning. No, look, I don't know which one it is.

And you know, but it is stunning how national media reporters embarrass themselves on a daily basis. Like they claim they have no idea how to exert leverage over Israel. Every one of them says that. Oh, Joe, well, there's nothing we can do. Well, duh, unless you're the stupidest person in the whole country, you know we could cut their funding. That's obviously leverage. And they're like, well, you know what it is, guys? More than anything else, they think, no, they're entitled to your money.

entitled. And if you dare cut their funding, you're an anti-Semite. Because like, it's God's command that you fund Israel and all their war crimes. No, it's not. That's made up. It's made up by the worst journalists in the world and a bunch of corrupt politicians. We don't owe them a goddamn thing. Not another dollar.com.

Boomer Dragon Cat says, and a funny story I think you'll enjoy. Starting about a week ago, every time my husband and I have had a discussion where he knows I'm right but doesn't want to admit it, he says, okay Anna, I'd say high compliment. That's amazing. That's amazing. Jirr 1951 says when you're all, when you're anti-establishment totally, you weaken a society's foundation which allows the oligarchs to gain more power. Don't believe me, that is how Reagan came to power.

sure you save yourself some good money here. All right, so now let's go to the next door. The Iranian delegation stormed out of peace negotiations in Switzerland. That's because Trump threatened all of their lives. Let's watch this. I just spoke with President Trump for more than 20 minutes and he gave some new insight and reaction about the ongoing talks that are taking place in Switzerland and the threats coming from the Iranian regime.

Trump telling Fox News that the U.S. may take over the strait in the future if they have to and collect tolls. The president described this as the United States being the guardian angel of the Strait of Hormuz and the Middle East. And the president said ultimately that would involve the U.S. taking 20 percent of the oil that passes through the strait. Remember, this comes in reaction to the Iranians saying they will close the strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon. President Trump tells Fox News he spoke with Iranian officials overnight and said, you close it and you won't have a country. He went on to tell these officials, you won't even make it back to your effing country.

You won't make it back to your effing country, which is a obviously threat against their lives. And Mohammed Ghali Bafdi, Iranian parliamentary speaker, didn't take kindly to that, as you can imagine, he says, don't they think to themselves that if their threats had any effect, they wouldn't have reached the point of desperation today? We don't take the threats of the Americans seriously. They better be careful with their statements. Our armed forces are ready to respond in another way. Whatever they say, we are the ones who will act. Now, it is true that the Iranians have shown a tremendous amount of restraint, even considering the fact that the framework of the MOU memorandum of understanding indicated that the Israeli hostility and aggression

against the Lebanese people in southern Lebanon needed to end. They haven't responded to that yet, and it's because they are engaged in a good faith effort to actually find a solution to end this war. But I gotta be honest with you, for everything that we've been hearing from both Vice President J.D. Vance and from Trump himself on and off again, because he really switches back and forth, depending on the hour in any given day. I don't think they actually do want peace. Because if they want a peace deal, the only way that you're gonna get it is by raining

in Israel's behavior. And the only way you can do that is by leveraging the money and weaponry, the United States shells out to the Israelis on a regular basis in order to help them sustain their now multiple wars in the region. And since they're not serious about doing it, I don't believe them. I mean, think about it, Trump issues this statement as soon as Vice President Vance lands in Switzerland for peace negotiations. Thus, like the Israelis, sabotaging or attempting to sabotage peace negotiations.

So I'm torn on that because why bothered taking all the heat like J.D. Vance is, unless it's all a giant game, which is not at all impossible. I understand what you're saying, because Vance could be saying, oh, golly gee, I tried so hard for peace. That's why you should vote for me in 2028. Remember when I tried for peace for like a minute and a half? But then there was nothing we could do. Those meany Iranians, they dragged us back into war by continuing to defend their homes,

when they should know that their homes are Israel's. And the Lebanese are the worst, okay, they're all anti-semites. We're not giving away their entire country to Israel. So golly, gee, there was nothing we could do. We had to go back in the war. But Anna, I don't think that'll work at all, right? I don't think any of this will work. If they think they're gonna trick people with that, that's absurd.

So I think there is some chance that they genuinely are trying to get out of the war. No. And so hold on, we'll give me one more sec here on that. So look, Jeremy Schaild had a really interesting report for drop site news, that the Iranians hired a psychologist because they're concerned that Donald Trump is mentally ill. And they needed to know how to speak to someone who's mentally ill. because his words never match one another. One second he goes, we're going to have the greatest peace with Iran. The whole thing's resolved.

And he turns around and goes, I'm going to murder them all, including their negotiators. And they're like, well, how do you talk to a mentally ill person like this? So, okay, I think that's on the board. I think that's a possibility, and he doesn't really know what he's doing. And he's a fool, and he's caught in between a rock and a hard place. I think the Iranians are making a mistake. Trude of Parsy would be very upset with me for saying this. But here's what I actually think is happening.

Now, it didn't surprise me that the memorandum of understanding had one other provision in it. That's really, really important in my opinion, understanding what the Americans are doing here, what our government is doing. So the MOU indicates that ships will transit through the Strait of Hormuz toll free for the next 60 days. Now what is that for? Well, that is to relieve the devastating pressure. of this, you know, energy squeeze that the global economy is experiencing due to the closure and reopening and then closure and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Now, you might be wondering,

why haven't gas prices gotten to, or oil prices gotten to like $150 per barrel yet? You know, this has been dragging on for a while. Well, it's because the United States has been expending its strategic petroleum reserve. So in order to, you know, lessen the blow for the global community, We have been selling that oil like crazy and we are quickly running out. So I believe that what's happening here is a total game in order to get the Iranians to open up transit in the Strait of Hormuz, kind of help ease what's happening with the economy. I have no doubt that the kinetic action, the war is gonna restart again. And at that point, I think maybe the United States will be able to build some of its military

weaponry or arsenal necessary to go back to war with Iran. But my point is, that is what I think is actually happening here. And if I'm proven to be correct, Iran is making a mistake. So look, the memorandum of understanding, on the other hand, also includes Lebanon. And if we didn't mean it, why would we allow the Iranians to include Lebanon in the memorandum of understanding? I mean, it is in the MOU, but I mean, Israel carpet bombed Lebanon just this past weekend. No, of course I know that.

Okay, and nothing happened. Well, my point is the fact that America put that in, knowing that Israel is unlikely to leave and is trying to pressure them to leave and, et cetera, shows you that there's some chance that they're being earnest, okay? So, and remember, this war, if it continues, will be an economic collapse and they know it. They know it, yes, that's why I think, you know, they think this is going to be like a little release valve, right?

The MOU, the 60 days will be a little release valve. Yeah, but it's not gonna get it done and they'd be crazy to think that. So now, having said that, look, anyone that's rational knows that Israel's never leaving Lebanon. We just did a segment where we showed you all four of their top leaders saying we're never leaving Lebanon. In fact, we're considering burning all of Lebanon. That's what Ben-Gavir said. And so that means if you're an American negotiator, i.e. the president, the vice president,

et cetera, you have to realize most things are not zero or 100%, but this one is. Because if you don't cut off ties with Israel, they will always drag you back into wars. Cut off their weapons. Yeah. They're not serious about doing that, shake. So I don't believe that they want peace. So that's my point, which is that if Trump wants peace, he will, like after 200 examples and we're on example number 198 now, he will come to the conclusion that any rational

person would, which is if I don't cut off Israel, they're gonna stay in Lebanon and Iran doesn't want him to stay in Lebanon and this war with me in it is going to drag on forever. So hey y'all, it's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. Ever order furniture online and wonder what if? Like what if it doesn't hold up? That sofa was four days old. You should have ordered from Wayfair. With Wayfair, there's no what if. Just style you love and quality you can trust. Visit Wayfair.ca. Wayfair, every style, every home. You don't have a choice. It's either peace or Israel, but you can't get both because Israel is not for peace and it, and certainly in the In this era, it never will be.

Its greed is endless. It is continuing to take the West Bank, continuing to take Gaza, now in southern Lebanon, claiming Lebanese waters as well, because there's a gas field there. So you're not going to be able to get Israel to stop attacking. That is definitely 100% not possible, okay? Yeah, you're right about that, which is why I will believe the Trump administration is pushing for peace. they put real action behind their words. I don't care that you wagged your finger at a war

criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu. I don't care about the tough talk in private phone conversations, which get leaked to Barak Ravid, Barack Ravid so he can report it for Axios and it's total BS. I don't care about any of that. At this point, we need to have higher standards and we should demand action that goes beyond these, in my opinion, dog and pony show peace negotiations that just happened in Switzerland, okay? Just keep it at 100. I love how J.D. Vance, by the way, one of the things he said in his happy talk following the meetings was, you know, major breakthrough, major breakthrough.

Iran agrees to allow IAEA inspectors into the country. Ah, nah. Okay, but they were doing that already until your boss ripped up the JCPOA. By the way, after that, for a long time, they continued abiding by the JCPOA, even though it had been completely violated, right? Thrown into trash by Trump. Later, they started enriching uranium and they stopped working with the IAEA's inspectors after the 12-day war. So they follow the rules, you bomb them anyway. They don't trust anyone.

And I don't blame them for not trusting anyone. So look, just real quick on that. But that's J.D. Vance trying to paint the peace process as a positive and saying that they got something positive from the Iranians in return. If you were working with the Israelis, you are unlikely to complement the Iranians. And you do see Mark Levine and the rest of Israel first live it at J.D. Vance. I know, I know. But Jake, these people are unhinged. They're living with J.D. Vance because he dared to say even a little bit that was critical of Israel. You're not allowed to do that if you're in the U.S. government.

You're just supposed to get on your knees and pleasure them. And that's what, you know, J.D. Vance for the most part, has been doing. But he, you know, jabbed them just a little bit last week. And I allowed myself to get a little too excited about that. And I regret it. Okay, totally regret it. Because these people are complete and utter frauds. Okay, if they wanted peace, they know exactly what they need to do, and they are unwilling to do it.

Yeah, and so there's a poll out from CBS news, ironically, of all people, asking the conflict with Iran, what should the US do now? Now, 78% of the country says end the conflict now. Only 22% say continued conflict with Iran until Iran gives up more. So what America is saying is 8 out 10 Americans are saying, good enough, that's a good deal by Trump, let's come home. Whether he could have gotten, Obama had a better deal, whether we could have gotten a better deal before the war are you relevant?

Those ships have already sailed. Do you think the current deal is good enough? 78% of the country says yes, 98% of the people on TV says, say no. So they're all arguing against peace, every anchor on MS now, every anchor on CNN, every anchor on Fox News, every Democrat and every Republican on television is all saying screw eight out of ten Americans. Israel wants more war, and whether you like it or not, we're gonna drive you back into the

war. And why all the politicians got paid by the Israeli lobby, that's a stone cold fact, and the media can answer for themselves. But guys, the one thing that is absolutely clear is no matter of Anna's right or I'm right, whether this was real or not real, it doesn't really matter. The only thing that matters is, are you gonna listen to 80% of the country that says, and the war, or are you not going to listen to them and you're gonna listen to Israel instead? Because we're super clear.

America is shouting at Washington. Get out of the war. unclear at all, but you turn on TV and you think that it was the exact opposite. I know, I know. All right, well, let's take a break. When we come back, I actually really want to show you a Lindsey Graham video, so we'll do that because he has no idea what he's talking about, but he speaks with such authority about what needs to be done in Iran.

And then later we'll talk about, well, the Trump administration turning on one of their most loyal media figures, because she doesn't. He doesn't like the MOU. Really interesting turn of events. I can't wait to share that with you. Come right back. All right, by the way, Graphic 9. Among Republicans, what should the US do now and the conflict now?

60% of all Republicans say that. 56% of MAGA Republicans say that. You know what CNN just did? Harry Inton did a segment saying that the Republicans don't like this deal and that Trump made a mistake by signing out of this deal. this deal. Of course. So now we're just making stuff up. That is the exact opposite of what it's true. This is CNN does that on purpose. This is a CBS poll guys. Yeah, a CBS poll. And yet CNN takes it and lies to you right to your face. Why? Because they want to influence Trump to get back

into the war. So I mean, you tell me why CNN is doing that. That's disgusting. It's obviously not true and it's obviously only for the benefit of Israel. Only, only. And the other 22% that watch CNN, Fox News and MSNL and have been brainwashed into, yeah, we must serve Israel, give them more war, okay? Because a sick propagandist like Harry Enten, I'm done with Harry, totally done. All polls are accurate until it comes to Israel. And then we flip it on its head and tell you that almighty Israel, you've got to bow down

to them, lie and manipulate people back into the war. Disgusting, black Mamba 97 says, please dear God, give us a war against Israel. They'll never learn. I'll gladly put my uniform back on. Look, I'm not advocating for that. I just read that blind, but that is the level of anger in this country now. But every dumb-ass Zionist goes, oh, you see that, they're all anti-Semites. They're so dumb.

We've never done anything wrong. Israel's the victim. Everyone else's evil anti-Semites. Let's kill them all or destroy them. But we're innocent. Back on TYT, Jankan, Anna, with you guys and Tricia Briggs. Thanks for signing up on YouTube by hitting that sign that join button below. We appreciate it.

All right, Anna, you got another story. Yes, so we didn't get to this in the last segment, but I just really wanted to show you this moment featuring a United States Senator. So take a look. Let's try a diplomatic solution. I think it's gonna fail. What happens next? I spent four and a half hours with President Trump Friday.

Here's what I think will happen next. If this deal fails, President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz over by force. The United States will control the Strait of Hormuz. We'll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation. And we're going to expand the Abraham Accords in calendar year 2026. We're going to get Saudi Arabia joined the Abraham Accords, which is the biggest change in 5,000. years in the mid-east, and if Iran contest control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States will obliterate them.

That was Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is suddenly a military expert and seems to know better than our own military, military generals, colonels, doesn't matter. He believes that the United States can militarily take over the Strait of Hormuz, which, I don't know, Lindsay, don't you think that if that was really an opportunity? a real option to Trump, you don't think he would have tried that already? Don't you wonder why that didn't happen? When he says that he met with Trump and spoke to him for four hours last Friday, do you think he was really saying, yeah, let's give diplomacy a shot?

Or do you think he spent those four hours lobbying Trump or attempting to convince Trump that there is a military option when clearly there isn't one? Yeah, so look, for whatever reason that video put me over the top, I now think like we done and said all we can. At this point, the overwhelming majority of the country is clear. We want to decouple from Israel. We have a negative view of Israel. We do not want to go to their wars. Seventy-eight percent of the country says, get out of this war right now. We're not in favor of genocide. We're not in favor of funding genocide. So Lindsey Graham can play all these war games that he wants, and then Trump and Vance have a decision to make. And they're

either gonna do Israel's bidding and commit more war crimes, more wars, et cetera. Or, or They're gonna decouple from Israel because there is no middle path. If you're with Israel, Israel demands wars and genocide and demands that you pay for them. If you don't, they'll take your head off, okay? And we've got more of that coming up later in the show. And anyone who is 1% disloyal to Israel and they feel entitled to 200% of your loyalty, the 100% is groveling. If you're not groveling to them, they think it's not good enough.

So you have to decouple completely from Israel. If they don't do that and they have us go back into these wars, Anna, nothing's going to matter because the country is going to be so mad at the economic collapse. The world is going to be. Yeah, okay. But before we even get to the rest of the world, the American people are going to have a reaction that the Lindsay Grams of the world are not going to like at all. And nothing we say will be able to slow that reaction down.

people are absolutely sick of it and these people in power are not getting it. We're up to here, man. We can see the truth clearly now. When you keep telling us Israel is the innocent victim and that we have to pay for everything they do, including these wars that get our soldiers killed, our service members killed, and have wasted now over $8 trillion. No, no, no, you cause one more economic collapse for Israel and no one will be able to stop the wrath of the American people.

So okay, that's not, that's me as a news person giving you my analysis of the current environment we're in. And so my favorite is when- That's not my decision to make, it's their decision to make. Well, my favorite is when Americans get scolded for complaining about higher gas prices as a product of this war, right? I mean, there's been plenty of that. And so look, I bring that up because I just want to explain in a calm, dispassionate way,

okay? Because I know I'm a very passionate person, people take it the wrong way. So let me just be as dispassionate as possible for the Zionists, for the Israel firsters. People don't hate you because, I mean, a lot of these people are Christian Zionists, but for the Jewish Zionists, people don't hate you because you're Jewish. Okay, when they're already struggling to put food on the table for their families, we're already struggling economically prior to this. Now on top of that affordability problem that Americans were furious about and elected Trump

to do something about, they have to pay much higher gas prices so Israel can have the war they've always dreamed of. That is going to lead to a lot of anger and rage toward Israel and Zionists in general, not because they're Jewish, but because of their ideology and everything that comes along with that ideology, which includes pain and society. for people across the globe at this point, either economically or in that region of the world, genocide wise, ethnic cleansing wise, land stolen wise. Yeah, I'm gonna add one thing to that. Look, the Zionists are in a cult and they don't realize they're an occult at all.

And they'll be deeply offended by that because they're deeply offended by literally everything. If you're not on your knees for Israel, they're deeply offended and think you're an anti-Semite. And I'm not exaggerating. So why do I say that today? Because today, utter war path against Zoran Mamdani, the mayor of New York, because he said that APEC was acting in a monstrous way, which they most certainly are, okay? They're demanding unconditional support for Israel, even if they committed genocide. No, thank you. Even if they drag us into wars, and they are buying off all of our politicians.

They're doing that the same way the big farmer does, big oil does, defense contractors do. But now the Zionists in this country are saying, you can criticize all those other lobbies, But if you criticize A PAC, we're gonna call you an anti-Semite. So they're calling Zoram-Mam-Dani an anti-Semite for that all over media, all over. All the anchors are, all the politicians are now, businessmen are getting involved. And if you don't call Zora-Mam-Dani an anti-Semite for being opposed to one of the most disgusting packs, and just by the sheer volume of their donations, all these packs are disgusting the way they're buying off our politicians.

If you don't criticize Mamdani for criticizing A-PAC, they're saying, you're all anti-Semites. That's great. So that's why I'm saying it's a cult because they're detached from reality. 80% of the country isn't anti-Semitic. They barely know anything about Jews, let alone hate Jews, right? But unfortunately, Zionists and their cult have been taught all people hate Jews, they're gonna come to get you, they're gonna kill you all, so you have to strike first.

And you have to call everyone an anti-Semite, and if they don't support Israel 100%, 200%, there's vicious anti-Semite. vicious anti-Semites and your life's in danger. You have to attack them, attack them and destroy them. No, you're in a cult and you need to snap out of it because not only are you doing great damage to America and to the rest of us, but you're also doing great damage to Jewish Americans. Most of them do not agree with you. 63% of Jewish Americans are against this current Israeli government.

But you keep saying, we say, hey, Israel should stop their war crimes and you say Jews. We go, no, no, no, no. Israel, you go Jews, you're spreading the anti-Semitism. Totally. But they can't see straight because they're in a cult. And until they somehow get out of their brainwashing, they're never gonna believe anyone. They're just gonna go, oh yeah, yeah, those guys that are trying to help us that are saying, hey, like we should protect Jewish Americans by not associating them with the actions of a

terrible government today, which is true of the Turkish government, the Saudi government, the Israeli government. They go, nope, all I see is anti-Semites as far as I can see, and I'm gonna try to destroy my way out of this. Not only destroying Lebanon and Iran and Gaza and West Bank, but also and Syria, but destroy any Americans in America that they deem to be anti-Semites. Well, someone who's been on the war path in the media is Batyar-Hungar Sargon. So, Jank, take it away. Yep. Batya-Hungar-Sargon and Mark Levin have turned on Trump over efforts to end the conflict

in Iran. They're like, how dare you disobey Israel? So that sparked another interesting Mago Civil War Anna. Yes, it sure did. In fact, there are some twists and turns. It's a bit of a roller coaster ride because typically the pro-Israel crowd can be as vicious and critical of anyone who doesn't toe the line and support anything and everything Israel wants to do, including its disastrous war in Iran. Now, Batya Ungar Sargon has been, let's just say, a vociferous defender of the Trump administration and has even gone so far as to lie to the

American people about how President Trump has really looked out for the working class, that his tariffs have been very beneficial for the working class when it's actually been the opposite. A lot of small businesses have shuttered as a result of the ham-handed way he rolled out the tariffs, for instance. But nonetheless, she's not in favor of the memorandum of understanding, which paves the way for a potential peace deal between the United States and Iran. And she has been running her mouth about it a lot. And I want to give you one example. Here you go.

If this was a great deal for America and a bad deal for Israel, I would champion it because I see myself as an America first American. The problem is it's that it's an absolutely disastrous deal that has brought us to our knees weeks before our 250th birthday. This is an utter humiliation of the United States and everybody knows it. Everybody knows it, but especially Iran knows it. They are celebrating this. They are still calling us the enemy.

And while Iran celebrates this and sneers at us for totally capitulating when we had complete military superiority over them, J.D. Vance is out there criticizing Israel, making up fantasies about how it is Israel's fault. And Israel wants Iran to be a failed state. And if only Israel would lay down its arms and allow Hezbollah to keep. attacking it, there would be peace in the Middle East. It is disgusting. It is the complete Tucker Carlsonification of the vice president of the United States. And it is utterly deplorable. The only good thing I can say about it is, if this was a dry run for advance 2028, we sure

learned a lot. She was also very active on social media, and I want to show you some more videos in just a moment. But after that segment, something a little surprising happened. Rapid Response 47, which is associated with the Trump administration responded to Batya Angar Sargon and said the following. The only humiliation here is Batia desperately begging for an additional brain cell because her failing TV show is even more irrelevant than the likes of Caitlin Collins and fake Tapper. Only a moron of her caliber could still doubt President Trump's leadership. Okay, I am. I mean, it's juicy for sure, but like, I think, I think it's an American's right to doubt the president's leadership, especially Donald Trump on a whole host of things. Now in this case, she's motivated by something that I find particularly deplorable, which is to

try to squash the possibility of an actual peace deal. And she says it's, I mean, she, I don't know if she genuinely thinks, Jenk, that we can militarily accomplish these things that she wants to accomplish? We can't. If we could, we would have done that at this point. So she says this MOU is so humiliating. Okay, yeah, I agree, it's humiliating because Iran won the war. We lost. But can we just talk about the core of that humiliation? Because it stems from people like you who pushed for this war. We should not have entered this war. It's obvious there was no strategy in going into this war. Trump is like testing things out as he goes. Yeah. So you don't want the M.

with you and you think it's gonna be easy, well, I have a great suggestion for you. Why don't you send in the IDF as ground troops? Oh, so you don't think it's gonna be easy. And so you think it's going to be really, really difficult. That's why you wanna send in Americans as ground troops. That's why you want America to continue the war, because what do you need us for? If it's gonna be that easy, why doesn't Israel do it by itself? Oh no, I know, we're anti-Semitic if we don't pay all your bills and fight all your wars.

And they say that, and they say it with a straight, They sure do. Okay, they say at conferences almost every weekend, the JNS conference this past weekend. Just watch the live stream. No, they're crazed, totally detached from reality, okay? Yeah. And so that look, Bata being hilariously wrong and biased about this is not news, okay? There isn't a single Israeli position she hasn't loved to death and hasn't demanded that we all

follow and if we don't all follow it, we're all anti-Semites, that's boring, okay? What's interesting is Stephen Chung, that's what I believe, that sounds like Stephen Jack, I don't know for a fact that it is, but for the first time amusing me, okay? No, that was amusing, for sure, yeah. The White House slapping that hard back is something that I haven't seen in a long time against an supporter of Israel. Exactly, that's what was surprising to me about. Yeah, they blast the left, no problem at all.

But apparently someone in the White House means the deal, I have. Now, you see what I'm saying? And I have to give them credit, fake dapper is funny. I knew you'd like that. Okay, but I want to show you one other video. So this was after the Rapid Response 47, you know, post on X. So I actually want to go to C3, if you guys don't mind. Take a look at what she had to say about just how embarrassing these negotiations are for the American people.

Every video I've seen coming out of Switzerland has been utterly humiliating. we are the world's greatest superpower, and yet we have so obviously been brought to our knees. We are the ones who are showing up with this aura of desperation such that they can tweet the most despicable things at us. We just destroyed their Navy and their economy, and yet it's us who are showing up as if on bended knee begging them to open the Strait of Hormuz. This is an utter disaster, and not just on the Iran, on the, the Iran front, it's a disaster on the global stage. I mean, what message do you think this sends to China that we can be so easily brought down after such a phenomenal military success?

It just makes an utter mockery of American power. And I find that really horrifying to countenance. You are the source of the humiliation, Batia. You and Zionists like you are the source of the humiliation. We have been humiliated because we can't militarily do what Israel wants the United States to do. If we could militarily do it, I mean, I get it. Like she's engaged in magical thinking. I think she genuinely thinks we are the superpower she thinks we are. Okay, but we're not anymore.

That's the truth because we have depleted weaponry that we would need to carry out kinds of operations that in her magical thinking we would carry out. We are not going to dedicate hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers to fight Israel's war for them. At least I don't think we are. And we are 40 trillion dollars in debt, Batia. And you know what? That segment in particular, Jank, made it so clear to me that her pro working class identity,

right, is just a facade. That's the only thing she cares about is Israel. Come on. Guys, look at it. I mean, every single segment that Baia does is pro-Israel. And then she's like, oh, all of these completely pro-Israel positions that the Israeli government has demanded would also coincidentally be good for you. I mean, it involves you losing hundreds of billions of dollars in several Americans, several dozen Americans at a bare minimum, and at least $100 billion already from this war. But trust me, it is really good for you.

It just coincidentally happens that Israel is in favor of every one of those actions I say on. in American media. What are coincidence? And by the way, so Bacch is a super minor character. That's not interesting. What's interesting is News Nation, CNN, MS Now, Fox News, every single cable news outlet has someone exactly like Bata on their TV, a general, a businessman, a pundit, a politician, Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter. This peace deal is humiliating. Trump can't do this deal. Ha ha, ha, we'll make so much fun of Trump for this deal. Only an idiot would do this deal. Don't do this deal.

Go back into war for Israel. That's a coincidence that every single expert you have on is in favor of more war for Israel. My ass, that's a coincidence. Our media is disgustingly corrupt. Well, there's only one thing I agree with Batian. She says this, well, actually, too. She says that this is the Tucker Carlsonification of the Republican Party. Well, if that was true, then you're paying Tucker Carlson an enormous compliment, right?

And so now I would say that Tucker Carlson is against this war. If J.D. Vance really means it and he turns against the war, then you'd be right that he's going towards Tucker Carlson. Except that Tucker Carlson today left the Republican Party, because he's so sure that they're going to keep serving Israel and keep going into more wars. So even he's done with, even the J.D. Vance crew, so he's closer to your account. I think, no, I totally disagree with what you're saying.

This is not the Tucker Carlification of our foreign policy. Number one, I don't trust J.D. Vance and Donald Trump in actually pushing for peace, especially Trump, who try to sabotage the peace talks over the weekend in Switzerland by threatening the lives of the Iranian delegation that showed up for the peace talks. No, but she's specific- Hold on, let me just finish my point. But the other thing is, Tucker Carlson, to your point earlier, just right now, he would end the weapons supply to Israel and end the war. So like, be careful what you're asking for here, Batsia.

Because honestly, if we really had Tucker Carlson's version of responding to this war or ending it, he wouldn't just end it by engaging in diplomatic talks. He would end it by stopping the supply and flow of weapons to Israel. Yeah, but JD Vance for this hot minute, and we'll see how much. how long this minute last did go more towards Tucker Carlson, but you're saying it's not enough and we don't really believe it, and that's fair. And Tucker Carlson agrees, that's why he just left the Republican Party. But one last thing I do agree with, that us bowing down to foreign leaders that are terrorists is humiliating, except you just got the wrong leader.

Benjamin Nanyahu with an 83% civilian kill ratio and 70 times the number of people killed as Hamas, civilians killed as Hamas, is obviously a giant terrorist leader, maybe the largest terrorist leader right now in the world. And we keep bowing to them. Our media does, our politicians do, and it's humiliating. He'll come to our Congress and get standing ovations. Yep. When he's like, hey, I want more money for genocide and for more wars.

And all of our politicians grovel to him, you're right, that is deeply humiliating. So we shouldn't grovel to anyone, not to Iran and not to Israel, but they'll say no, no, no. Make sure you destroy Iran on behalf of Israel. And when the Israeli leader comes, everyone on their knees. Now, Jank, you say that Batya is a minor character in all of this, but someone who's played an outsized role, both in size and voice, is Mark Levine. And I wanted to show you what he had to say in regard to efforts at peace. I want to say to people in and out of the administration.

Stop trashing, smearing, bullying the little state of Israel. stop cozing up to and telling us that the enemy regime in Iran is now more rational, more moderate,

and a regime that we can deal with. When just a few months ago, they slaughtered 50,000 people, they're still hanging young people today. And if they had a nuclear missile today, they'd fired into our country as sure as I'm alive. I don't know what's going on, but if people think they can bully a little, country. Really a people that have existed 4,000 years through the Babylonians and the Persians, through the Romans and the Third Reich into surrendering their defense and their decision on how to secure their country. They get another thing coming. I think it's outrageous. When we used to see the Secretary of War and the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Daley here on Fox, tell us of the

fantastic marriage, symmetry between our militaries and defeating this enemy. I'm really appalled by this. And I hope it comes to an end sooner than later. We would have been in a far better position if we were allied with Iran as opposed to Israel. That would be a much better world. But alas, that's not the situation we exist in. So understand what Mark Levin is saying there, Jank. please stop demanding that the Israelis stop killing innocence and encroaching on land and territory that doesn't belong to them in an effort to steal it. Yeah, if you think that Israel is defending itself by taking southern Lebanon a part of a different country, you've lost your mind, you just don't know it.

Like if you genuinely believe it, look, oh, no, self-defense means we take Western Syria and southern Lebanon and most of the West Bank and most of Gaza. No, that's not self-defense. You're kidding yourself and you've lost your mind. So if you notice with Mark Levin, when he's talking about we, he's always talking about Israel. He's like, you have to defend Israel. You have to do this, this, this, and this for Israel.

Everything is for Israel. Like if imagine, you know, you know the example I always used, the same population for Papua New Guinea as Israel. Imagine if there was a commentator who constantly was like, you have to do this for Papua New Guinea and that for not Papa New Guinea and stuff. a war for Papua New Guinea, otherwise you're all racist. People are like, what kind of lunatic did they let on there? And think about it guys, Bottea has almost no audience.

Mark Levin now almost has no audience. Van Shapiro has almost no audience, but yet we hear about them on the media 24-7. Why do we hear about them when they have almost no audience at all? And the reason for that is because the rest of the media aids and abets them. They amplify their voices as if they're big and legitimate influencers in the right-wing media Nobodies them in the right wing anymore. And did you notice the lie that he put in there? When they first started lying about how many protesters Iran killed, which Mossad has said

publicly, they instigated the protest against Iran, they instigated the violence, okay? So that was always propaganda, Israeli propaganda. They started with a made up number, 30,000. Oh yeah. And we asked them to justify it, and they couldn't give one shred of proof that there was 30,000 killed. So then it went to 40,000. Then it went to 42,000, which was hilariously specific.

And if you just noticed, Levin just moved it up to 50,000. Right, right. It's just, come on. Sure, sure, sure. And we, guys, this isn't over a stretch of a long period of time. It's all on tape over a short period of time. We saw the number move from 30 to 50 all with our own eyes. Aren't you offended at how often they insult your intelligence?

Like they lie to your face with the most brazen lies, and they think you're stupid enough to believe it. It's amazing, it really is. One other thing that he said, though, Cenk. is that the real war mongers, the real war mongers are the isolationists. It's amazing, it's so amazing. Anyway. Yeah, and one last thing for me, he said in that 17 minute. Diet tribe. Yeah, and on X as well, that Israel doesn't have to listen to any advice from J.D. Vance or the American government.

to defend ourselves by taking all of your land and homes. So we don't need to take your advice. You also don't need to take our money. So if you don't want our advice and you won't listen to anything we do, then obviously we shouldn't give you the money. I totally agree with you on that, Jank. In fact, no rational person could disagree with that. The only way you could disagree is saying, well, all Americans are anti-Semites and they

owe Israel all their money, so you should all shut up and do as Israel orders. And those people think that they're rational too, they're called Zionists. Yeah. And they don't realize they're an occult totally detached from reality. Well, when we come back from the break, we're gonna switch gears a little bit, talk about the reflecting pool over in DC. It's really going through it, and we'll explain why would we return? If you're Christian, in fact, I will fight for you to have your religious liberty and

practice your Christianity. I believe in that. I don't believe in Christianity, which means that you do not get to dig. the way I live my life based on your religion. I don't care what the Bible says. You have every right in the world. All those women who identify with your religion have every right in the world to not get an abortion, to not take birth control. But they do not have the right to dictate my life.

And what I decide to do with my body, I don't care about your goddamn religion. I'm so tired of having non-stop conversations about what the Bible says. You live your life in the way that you interpret the Bible. Again, I don't care, but you don't get to take the Bible and tell me, while the Bible says this, in this chapter and this verse, I don't care. I don't care. I don't believe in it. And I have the right, based on our Constitution, to not believe in it.

Has been left on skate. Ain't a whole lot left? I don't know why they need any more bomb. Let us get clear. The United States provided $18 billion in military aid to Israel. Netanyahu indiscriminate bombardment have killed more than 50,000 civilians, 60% of whom are women, children, paramedics, and journalists. All of this is against basic human decency. You don't starve children with absolutely no humanitarian aid getting into Gaza.

It is a war crime. It is illegal for the United States government to provide Israel with more offensive weapons. History will not forgive us. We've been on our phones too much. I feel like we just need to touch grass or something. I told you. I mean, you know what? Let's actually do it.

Let's touch the grass. Andrew Yang? It's not racist, right? It's him. Yes, it is I. Andrew Yang out here giving money away, as usual. Wait, but literally? Do you use a phone?

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

All grass works. All grass and we get cash? Did you see that, babe? Don't make it rain, make it rain, make it rain, make it... That didn't rain so good, but now it's raining good. Corruption, injustice, the system is rigged against you. Every day, we're blasted by a flurry of terrible news from every angle, which can make it challenging to stay positive and know how to fight back.

The damage report is your solution. I'm John Adirola, and my daily morning show cuts through the noise and exposes the real damage being done to our country, the world, and how we can fight back against it. Corporate greed crushing workers, we'll name names. politicians selling you out for their corporate overlords, we've got the receipts. Climate disaster, economic collapse, the rise of fascism, no spin, no establishment talking points, just the truth that you need to survive and resist.

But it's not all doom and gloom. We'd love to have you join the Dragon Squad, our community of positive-minded activists who turn the day's news into positive action. With new episodes every weekday, listen to the damage report to get honest news, unflinching commentary, and daring coverage you won't find anywhere else. Listen to the damage report on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, because understanding the damage is the first step to fixing it. I can't keep track of too many lies, you know what I mean?

All right, back on TYT, Jane Havana with you guys. All right, let's go to our next door. We've got an interesting video for you guys. Well, I'm not a scientist, so the algae thing, I mean, I believe that's what happens in bodies of water such as this. So I don't think this is president. I would not support the Republican Party. there's no chance I would support the Republican Party.

Not going to support the Democratic Party. I don't know what I'm going to do. But at this point, you know, how could you support, how could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States? Wow. That's Tucker Carlson leaving the Republican Party today. But he's not the only one. Another giant figure joined on right afterwards.

Anna tells us about it. Well, there is another giant figure who has vocally announced that she will no longer be part of the Republican Party, but I'm going to keep teasing you with that and show you a little more of what Tucker had to say first, because it is informative in regard to what is convincing Americans across the political spectrum to abandon their previously preferred political parties. More from Tucker. How could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States that puts the interest of a foreign country above those of its own citizens? Like, that's, you know, it's not possible to vote for people like that, and I'm not going to.

And I think I voted Republican my entire life. I worked at Fox News. CNN, MSNBC. I've been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party. I mean, very consistent defender. But there's no defending this because it's immoral. And it's exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation, and they're not doing that.

So no, I'm out. And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out. I don't think he's wrong about that. In fact, soon after that was announced, Marjorie Taylor Green posted the following. Tucker is not the only one who has done supporting the Republican Party. There is a lot of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country. That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either, but we are done with the America last Republican Party. So I can't tell you guys how much that resonates with me, but in the opposite direction, right? So under Biden, and after witnessing what the Democratic Party was willing to aid in a bet in Gaza, I can't support that party. And honestly, the Biden administration is representative of the

mainstream Democratic Party. So I'm not a registered Democrat. I'm now a registered independent and a lot of people make the mistake of thinking, oh, well, if you don't support the Democrats, that must mean that you're a secret Republican. No, I lov the Republican Party as well, big time. And so the largest voting block at this point in this country, registered independence. People hate both parties. They are both corrupted, they are both bought, and they don't represent us. So, God, this game is so rigged, because you could tell based on what mainstream means,

media does, right? So we told you 100 times if they'll disagree on cultural war issues meant to divide us. But the minute they're donor wants something like don't do a student debt relief, don't do higher minimum wage, don't do a public option. Don't enforce antitrust laws. Yeah. You know, stuff that hurts the American people but helps the moneyed interest, the corporate world and pushes us toward terrible foreign policy.

And of course, if Israel wants something, right? and they're a giant donor class. All of a sudden, all the cable news guys unite, and they're all on the same page. And we've shown you that repeatedly here, including today, as of today, pushing out message after message. So in this case, we have all of them,

of course, attacking Marjorie Taylor Green and Tucker Carlson. But what's interesting in what Anna said is, and it made me realize something right now in the middle of the show. So we've been telling you that independence are the largest voting block now for a long time, right? But you never hear that on cable news or in mainstream media. And in fact, they only talk about Republicans and Democrats.

And if anyone ever disagrees with the leadership of either side, they go, you're disloyal. You're disloyal to your own party. Yes. And so they go, no, you have to be a Republican or Democrat. And if they ever talk about independence, which is super weird that they're not talking about the largest voting block in the country ever. The only time they talk about them is to disparage them. Low information voters.

Yes, yes, Jay. They don't really know what they're doing. And look, back in the day, back, back in the day, maybe there was some truth to the idea that registered independent voters are low information voters. But that's not the case right now. If anything, the reason why it has become the largest voting block is because they have firsthand knowledge and experience of getting screwed by their party, which they previously preferred. And Jake, you make such a great point about the push for loyalty to a political party or politicians within that party.

Because what that does is it kind of perverts the entire democratic process we're supposed to have, where people literally volunteer and run for public office because they allegedly want to be public servants. But then they get voted into office and it feels like we're supposed to be their servants, Essentially providing cover for their bad behavior, for their failures, for their refusal to actually make good on their campaign promises. We need to get back to a place, regardless of where you actually stand on the political spectrum, we need to get back to a place where the American people, ordinary citizens, voters, have high standards for our politicians and remind them, no, no, no, no, no, you work for us. You raised your hand and volunteered to do this. You wanted to work for us. So either you do that or we're done with you.

It's that simple. Yeah, and so now a lot of people are doing that and the people who used to be the most loyal, because once you tell us about who the next person is, so we just mentioned Marjorie Taylor Green, right? In fact, I'll do it. The next person who then came out and not on the Republican side, but on the Democratic side, was Joy Reid. To be fair, actually she came out before Tucker Carlson to get the chronology, right, and said, I don't know that I'm gonna stay in the Democratic Party if they keep saying we have to do what

everything that Israel wants. You know what? I really, really respect her for saying that. Because I always kind of thought of her as a loyalist of the Democratic establishment. She was, and I went on Joy's show, which you should check out, and she's completely changed. And she has a totally different attitude, which I love. That sounds amazing, and maybe it's the cable news brain rot. But think about it, guys.

Look, me and Joy were on MSNBC. Tucker was on and Megan Kelly were on Fox News. And they now say that about Fox News, like we got fed a lot of propaganda over there. We regret the things that we've said there. And they were the most diehard loyalists to the Republican Party. Joy Reid was the most diehard loyalist to the Democratic Party in the Democratic leadership, right? Now we're all going, wait, now that we're unshackled from mainstream media and Washington, you

You take the blinders off, it becomes so obvious that we're being manipulated into supporting Israel. And guys, you know, just going back to what the two parties use to divide us, but also provide this illusion that they're very different parties representing different interests. You know, there's a political scientist out of Ireland, he's passed away, but he wrote an incredible book. His name's Peter Mayer, M-A-I-R. And he had a theory about political parties in his country.

and how they leaned into, very heavily leaned into, divisive social issues in order to do exactly what we're experiencing in our political system right now. So why did the transgender issue, for instance, become such a gigantic issue, wedge issue during the last election? When you consider how small the transgender population is, we have so many problems in the country, why was everyone harping on that one issue again and again and again? Because it's divisive, it leads to fighting among ordinary Americans over like who perceived

scary things that are happening in some cases. In some cases, you know, you're not allowed to have a debate or a conversation about it. It just everyone was at each other's throats on that issue. And I think it was very much intentional. I think the Republican Party was really good at bringing that issue up again and again and again. I just be careful with what they're trying to distract you with.

Keep your eye on the prize. Two quick things I'll add to that. One, whenever Israel's in trouble, they always launch a distraction. Okay, so like for example, in the UK, they're going back several years and bringing back grooming gangs. Oh, remember, you have to hate the Muslims. Don't look at Epstein and all the child pedophilia there and et cetera. Don't look at the wars that you guys that are super unpopular in the UK.

Muslims, you gotta hate the Muslims. It's part culture war to divide us. Yeah. Part a way to say don't hate Israel, hate the Muslims. One of their pundits here in America while talking to the conservative guy who's, I debated, the Indian guy, Dinesh D'Souza said, said, yeah, you know, it's hard to get people to like Israel, so we're attacking Muslims to get them to, you know, focus on. She said that?

Yeah, to Dinesh D'Souza. Yeah, and I was like, you shouldn't have said that on air. Okay. Wow. Yeah. So it's still clear. And Anna, I had a wow moment in your reporting while I was gone. Because you and Glenn Greenwald were talking about labor together and drop site news wrote

a brilliant article about them because you said it. I not only watched the video, but I then went and read the dropside news article. Oh my God, guys, it was such an excellent explanation. So of why I got banned, but that's the tiny issue compared to the larger iceberg that they explained. There's a group called Labor Together, and their job was to redirect the legislation. Labor Party away from Jeremy Corbin and away from criticism of Israel into supporting not just Israel, but most of the wealthy and the powerful in Great Britain.

Yeah. And the guy they picked to redirect the Labor Party way back in the day was Kier Starrmer. And to me, that article, every layer was amazing. But one of the most amazing parts was they're like, Starmer will pretend to do these big changes. That's what he'll promise in the elections. So he can regain the labor voters, but once he gets into office, he won't do any of that. And that right there describes the entire plan of the Democratic Party in my lifetime here in America.

You're exactly right. And I think now Republican voters are seeing it with their own party. But I just want to go back to the grooming gangs really quick, shank, because look, I see that story as so indicative of a big problem that we have, because the grooming gangs were absolutely real. And the victims were absolutely denied justice for a very long time. And so what happens is you have two different groups of people. You have good faith individuals who want to apply the law equally to everyone.

Okay, not just toward Muslims, not just toward any specific group of people. You are victimizing young girls who cares what your identity is. If you are breaking the law and you're victimizing these girls, you should be brought to justice. But then you have the Tommy Robinson types who are very much driven by hatred and they say vile, disgusting, Islamophobic things. And they tend to be the ones who announce these types of stories and these cases that makes people who might be receptive to that story, might actually care about it, might want to know about it.

It repels them because they think they're getting this information from a gross Islamophope. So the point that I'm trying to make here is the great. Gruming gangs are real. Those poor girls were victimized and neglected by their own government. They failed to keep them safe. So even though you have some of these unsavory people making claims, try to find a reliable source, a non-bias source, and try to find out what the truth is. Because the last thing you want to do is Paul prey to denying something that's actually happening.

Yeah, so real quick on that. So guys, grooming gangs is kind of a perfect example of the cultural wars going wrong in both So in the beginning, they're downplayed because of identity politics. Oh, it's Muslim Americans, we don't want to drive hatred towards them. Not Americans, Muslims in the UK. Sorry, Muslims in the UK, sorry, yes, thank you for that. And so we don't want to drive hatred or bigotry towards them. Yeah, but you don't have to, you could just arrest the actual guys who did it, right?

And then the cultural wars go in the opposite direction and you go, now you have to talk about the grooming gangs nonstop. Why? Because the Israelis want you to, right? So now you're forced into either you have to hate all Muslims because of the grooming gangs, or you're not allowed to arrest any Muslims because then you're hating all. Wait, no, I don't like either one of those extremes. Why don't we hold people responsible for their own actions? So that's why we tell you about Israel all the time.

No, it's not all Jews, that's ridiculous, it's the government of Israel, right? And in this case, in the grooming gangs case, of course not all Muslims, but it is those Muslims, right? And it is those Israelis who are in favor of a genocide and these wars, etc. So let's keep the criticism to who deserves it and not broaden out to a group of people and thereby fall in the trap of the culture wars and us getting divided and not uniting around things we agree on. Totally.

Now let's get back to Tucker real quick because it did spark some interesting reactions, including from Seth Dillon. He's the guy behind the Babylon V, I think. He says of Tucker, he hates Trump and Jews. Sure, sure. Has abandoned the GOP and fallen in love with Islam. He's basically Charlie's, meaning Charlie Kirk's opposite. Interesting that you felt the need to mention Charlie Kirk and speak on his behalf in that

post. But anyway, interesting. Yeah. The way that they constantly talk about Charlie Kirk, man, I mean, when he first got shot, it didn't even occur to me that it might be anything but Tyler Robinson. And then they just keep jumping up and go, it's not Israel. Oh, okay. It's very normal to pave the cement right after a shooting.

I know. It's very normal for a shooter to change twice in the middle of a shooting. I really don't want to get into it, but that whole thing, there's just a lot of weird behavior going on. I will confess to that. Now, Dave Rubin also responded to this saying, told you Tucker, by the way, remember, this is Dave Rubin of all people, who's like changed his political identity a million times based on what he thinks is going to be more profitable for himself. He says, told you that Tucker would leave the Republicans and Megan would come back to Trump. For now, Tucker will say he isn't a Democrat, but watch his guests and topics.

They will only be pro-dem and anti-Republican. His goal is to split the Republicans and usher in national socialism. Okay, that's hilarious because every Israeli accusation is a confession, Right? So watch out for Dave Rubin. He'll abandon the Democratic Party. Oh, right, he did. And he'll try to split the Democratic Party. Oh, right. So that you'll support fascism. The fascism of Israel? Oh, right. Yep. Cat turd says who gives a F get over yourself, your one vote. Yeah, right. If you guys don't care. I mean, they lose their minds about Tucker Carlson every day. Yeah. Like you care. You care cat turd. You care.

And then finally, Mark Levin, I think his new party has uniforms and I don't mean Boy Scouts. Calling him a Nazi, basically. Of course, but who hasn't Mark Levine called a Nazi? And it's not just Mark Levine guys and cat turd and losers and idiots like Dave Rubin. The entire Zionist infrastructure in this country is all like Tucker Carlson hates Jews. Anyone who criticizes Israel hates Jews. Now now they've moved on to as I said. earlier in the program to say anyone who criticizes APAC hates Jews.

So you're, they're allowed to buy off your politicians. By the way, APAC has a pledge saying you must support Israel unconditionally. It doesn't matter what they do or what they do to America. You have no choice, it must be unconditional. Otherwise we're gonna spend tens of millions of dollars defeating you, okay? And all these losers, these traders to our country have signed that pledge. I swear to serve Israel loyally. and unconditionally, okay?

And then they say, well, it's your fault for noticing. You shouldn't be allowed to talk about how we get your congressman on their knees, okay? And now if you dare criticize APEC and their unconditional pledges of loyalty to another country, you're an anti-Semite and will destroy you. Yeah, I think somebody's putting on that dangerous uniform, but it isn't the people opposed to a genocide. It's the people in favor of a genocide. That's right.

All right, let's take another break. When we come back, we've got more for you, including that story I promised about the reflecting pool. That story is just the epitome of the type of corruption we have seen in this administration. It's just way more brazen than previous administrations, and I'll show you why. Tucker Carlson, a terrible friend. All right, YouTube members, Bok says, what are they doing 10 miles into a country that is not theirs? Anti-Semite. Don't you know Israel has owns all the land in the world? God promises them 3,000 years ago. By the way, that's not what a religious lunatic would say at all. Abbey Normal

X says, Nan Yao should be in prison for war crimes. He got off easy. Intruder alert, 007 says, oh, what a tangled web they weave when they practice to deceive. Jonathan Borges Johnny says, Zionism is inherently anti-Jewish, as in Judaism they preach the Jews will only return to Jerusalem after the return of the Messiah, there's nothing more anti-Semitic than saying Judaism is Zionism. By the way, he's not alone. There's a whole sect of rabbis and religious Jews who say that exact same point, and they've been livid with Israel the whole time. And they're the ones that, of course, Bill Maher makes fun of him. He goes, oh, I'm an equal opportunity. I make fun of all the religions. Look at these Jews I'm making fun of that dare disagree with Israel. I know, Bill, nobody thinks you

care about the religion. You're a nationalist, a radical extremist nationalist. So we know. Ali H.S.A.H.N. said, as a Brazilian, I can't believe the United States doesn't have a universal healthcare system. It's the only country in the world that doesn't have such a system, that's insane. Yeah, that's because again, as we say a million times, it's not just the Israeli lobby. Every lobby has bought our Congress.

Our congressmen are the most corrupt people on planet Earth. Mark Francis says, stealing land since 1947, that should be Israel's slogan. Jonathan Bors Johnny writes in again and says, what's crazy? All this could still end up being a win. If Israel's greatly weakened in Iran becomes a responsible and accepted part of the global economy, that's a huge crazy win long way off. So if we decoupled from Israel, that would be a gigantic win for America. You're right about that.

Back on TYT, Jankana with you guys. Just one quick super chat. Don's YouTube channel wrote, and those who have voted for the current circumstances and regret it may be useful. Let them split votes but never forgive or trust them. Brother, it's not about your trust or forgiven, you know, your forgiveness or whatever. Look, let's just get people who agree all on the same side and voting in the way that we need everybody to vote to end the war and the occupation of America.

This is not about the blame game. This is about getting everybody on the right track so that we re-react. gain our country. Absolutely. So all right. Now let's go to this video. Well, I'm not a scientist, so the allergy thing, I mean, I believe that's what happens in bodies of water such as this. So I don't think this is President Trump's fault. But what's so irritating to me about the left here? President Trump is trying to make D.C. nicer. D.C. is filled with Democrats. Okay? He's making it nicer because, yes, he happens to live there for the next couple of years, but you all live there all the time because D.C. is made up primarily of liberals and Democrats, right?

He's trying to make it nicer for you. Trying to make it safe for you. He's trying to make your reflecting pool nicer. He's trying to spruce up the place and they go out of their way to damage and to vandalize it. Yeah, but it is his fault. Oh my God, that's so. Democrats didn't do it. You can say they live there, but Trump did it.

So that's is of course grand renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, turning it into an algae-filled mess. You know, not not everything is a partisan battle. Sometimes you have a corrupt president who offers no bid contracts to his donors and they mess up a project like this. That's exactly what happened here. And, Jake, you know, you saw the image there. Looks a little green, looks a little green, and it turns out that there is a major problem with algae in the reflecting pool. Green algae is visible in the reflecting pool. And everyone seems to have interviewed the same swimming pool specialist.

He's known as swimming pool Steve, and he told NPR that what you're seeing is called New Pond Syndrome. We can put that graphic up. He says it's a known thing that happens when you take a natural, clear body of water like this that sits in an open air environment and then you try to start it up, like move the water, which obviously had to be done in order to do other renovations to the reflecting pool. You often end up with green water almost immediately. And so the Trump administration has been trying to fight the green algae while simultaneously

touting the beauty of the reflecting pool renovations. So the Interior Department said it was using an advanced nanobbubbler technology to kill algae, which the National Park Service is then vacuuming up. Workers and contractors have been waiting through the pool for days, cleaning algae, and have also been seen pouring hydrogen peroxide bleach into the pool to attempt to clean it. Now remember the hydrogen peroxide part because that's gonna come in handy in a bit. Now this is a common form of algae, but resurfacing the pool is definitely a contributing factor to this algae bloom. The new darker interior surface is going to absorb more sunlight.

It is going to result in water that's warmer and that ultimately is going to lead to more prolific algae growth. Now in order to do this, you would want, you know, professionals to do the renovations, experts in this field. Or maybe just swimming pool Steve. I mean, he would have been a better option to be honest with you. No question he would have. But I don't know if he was a major donor to Trump.

Oh, that's a problem. But we'll get to that, hold, hold. Now the second issue is the peeling paint. It turns out that pouring chemicals like hydrogen peroxide and bleach to kill the algae is gonna harm the paint. So first, the new paint job appeared uneven, then large chunks of coating are peeling off the basin, creating islands of American flag blue alongside patches of pea green in a dark murky soup, as the New York Times described it.

Now why would that happen? hydrogen peroxide can also be used as a paint remover. Oops. And we have some video. Keep my mic up. And I'll talk about it a little bit because this is the peeling paint.

It's just kind of floating in the water. And there have been some people who have videoed it or have taken huge parts of the peeling paint out of the water. And I guess Trump is really upset about that. Oh, by the way, there's also dead ducks, baby ducks, ducklets. So there's an image of that. It's heartbreaking. But, you know, there's a ton of chemicals in the water. So that's, you guys blurred it. That's hilarious.

I'm kind of glad they did. But anyways, but obviously, that's the Democrats fault for living in D.C. It was totally the Democrats' fault. Okay. So, and I should note, it's unclear how the duckling died, but there's chemicals in the water. So I think you can deduce that it was the chemicals in the water, right? Okay. No, I bet the Democrats are strangling them. Well, look, to be fair to Trump, Jank, he's not blaming the Democrats per se. He is blaming vandals. Oh, okay? People have been vandalizing the reflecting pool according to Trump, okay? So on Saturday- The pool terrorists, I've heard of them.

Obviously, obviously, it's a real problem here in the states. Anti-pula. You tried, you tried. Something. Yeah, I'll let it slide. Okay, on Saturday, he wrote the following on truth social. Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disdemeanor. disgraceful vandalism of our beautiful reflecting pool.

They took some form of knife or blade and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete. Yes, lots of competence. Now, the reflecting pool, he says, was never so beautiful as it was just one week ago, even going back to 1922 when it opened. So he was touting his renovations. They've been disastrous. Now remember, it's a paint coating in the reflecting pool, not a plastic liner like a normal pool lining would be.

And according to the administration, five people have actually been arrested. So this, he has passed the blame onto ordinary people. He's accusing ordinary people of damaging the pool, of vandalizing the pool. There's no evidence of that. So among those accused of vandalism was David Carter, Hearn, a cyclist, and three-tile, Olympian as a canoeist who says he stopped at the site on Friday just to have a look, then reach down to touch a strip of peeling blue paint mixed with algae. So he was arrested and accused of destroying government property.

And guess what? That is the type of crime that could get you a 10-year prison sentence. Oh my God. What's this brother's name? David Carter-Hern? Yes, yeah. Free David Carter-Hern. We should do shirts on shop t-y-t.com.

Don't, but you're going to put this brother in jail? I doubt. I mean, they have to prove it, and I doubt that he actually vandalized the pool. Come on, man. That's crazy. But the fact that he's even been arrested is absurd. And by the way, National Guard are literally guarding the reflecting pool right now. He's such a disaster.

He's such a disaster. Yeah, first of all, who puts in competence in that description that Trump did? Someone who knows he's unconfident, incompetent. Exactly. Like when it's riddled with incompetence, you're like, remember, this reflecting pool was built with competence. Was it, you probably don't have to say that if it was, because then it wouldn't be an issue. No one would be talking about the reflating pool.

Let's just note a couple of things here before we get to the guy who looks like a Mafio, so who actually got this contract, okay, I'm not saying he is, okay? He just looks like it. Yeah, so did we have to do something about the reflating pool? Every time I went to DC, the reflecting pool was totally fine. I never saw any issues with it until Trump gets in, he's like, I'm gonna destroy it. shredded and then oh look I filled it with algae and you see how it's so much better than before no I literally see the exact opposite and there's something

about Trump that he's like a Liberanchi 2.m. Yes, yes. He's like I need the best ballroom and the best reflecting pool and I need my name splashed all over the Kennedy Center I want everyone to know how fabulous I am. The Democrats made him do it's the Democrats. The Democrats made you care about nothing but like theatrics and and and and and and how things look, I think that one's on you, brother. So let's talk about the contracts, the no bid contracts that were given out to Trump's donors. They're the people who are responsible for this, and I don't know if they'll ever be held accountable.

So two notable companies were given no bid contracts to renovate the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. And the government had awarded the pool resurfacing contract to a Virginia-based company, known as Atlantic industrial coatings. And then green water services was given a no bid contract to install this water purification system, which appears to be struggling with the purification part, considering all the green algae that we're seeing. Now let's talk a little more about those no bid contracts. Now Trump originally said that the renovation would cost $1.8 million to repair and repaint

the reflecting pool. But the price has ballooned to nearly $15 million. dollars the federal contract shows. So for comparison sake, apparently the reflecting pool was renovated under the Obama administration, but because it needed repairs, okay? The pool needed leak repairs and things like that. It needed a new filtration system. And that entire project cost $34 million. He also made the water less shallow in order to save water. And obviously it would save energy because you don't have to filter as much water as you previously would need to do. Now, Trump said that he wanted the renovation done at lightning speed.

Okay, I need it right away, right away. So when you do that, you are able to bypass the no, the bidding process and give out no bid contracts. And that's exactly what happened here. So again, he gave the no bid contract to Atlantic industrial coatings of Virginia-based company. He claims that he has hired that firm to work on his property at Mar-a-Lago. and that company was given $14.7 million to carry out this work, which has been a disaster. Now, this is what he said about Atlantic industrial coatings on April 23rd. Take a look. I said, you know, Doug, I have a guy who is unbelievable at doing a swimming pools up the road.

We'll have a club. We have an Olympic-sized swimming pool. He did it 20 years ago, and it's perfect to this day. So I asked them, I said, I have an idea. I mean, to send my contractor over and take a look. He looked at it and he called me up. He said, sir, we could do something on it. He said, it's perfect, actually. He said it's really decaying and it's a terrible condition. But if you would, I'd like to work two weeks from cleaning it up, which is, if you see right here.

We'd like to, I'd like to repoint and fix some of the joints. It won't matter because we're putting a substance over the top. but it's nice to have a nice surface. But Times reporting indicates that Atlantic industrial coatings does not appear to advertise any expertise in painting swimming pools or reflecting ponds or anything like that. The company's website shows it specializes in waterproofing highway culverts, pipes, roofs, and chemical and water storage tanks. The site does not mention swimming pools at Trump's golf clubs or anywhere else, and they

decided to bump up the price tag for the work they did, giving themselves 20% profit profit margin versus the normal 6 to 12% profit margin that other companies that are contracted by the federal government get. And then there's Greenwater Services, Jenk. This is my favorite one. They were given a $1.7 million contract. Federal contracting records show that the firm's ultimate owner is the JJ Kafaro Investment Trust led by John Kaffaro. a donor to Trump and a neighbor to Mar-a-Lago. The water treatment company also listed him, his Palm Beach mansion as its address in Florida corporate records and listed his investment trust phone number and email in Ohio lobbying

records. Karafo, a longtime Republican donor whom Trump has described as a fantastic man, was once involved in a high-profile bribery scandal. Now we legalize it, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Well, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to bribe Democratic Representative James Trafficant Jr. back in 2001. Who's a notorious criminal. So I like that he's bipartisan in his bribery. Well, I mean, most of these people are, right?

Kaffaro also pleaded guilty to making a false statement, both, false statement, making a false statement about a campaign contribution to his daughter, Capri Kaffaro back in 2004. He also admitted to illegally concealing the contribution by structuring it as a loan, which violated the law. He's just a disaster and I got to show you what he looks like. Let's go to this graphic. Oh, that's the guy who screwed it up. And who bribed officials before and now can legally bribe them so he can get no bid contracts.

That is so surprising, Anna. It's amazing. I am very surprised by that picture. But it was the vandals who messed up the reflecting pool. No, to be fair to John J. Kaffaro, he did name it Greenwater Services. He did. He's fair. Fair, jank, fair. We got what, no, we didn't get what we paid for. We overpaid. Yeah, by the way, a new bid contract is an insult to the free markets.

It is the exact opposite of capitalism. And now you know why Donald Trump went bankrupt six different times, six major bankruptcies. It'll cost $1.8 million. Oh, who no one could have known that it cost 15 million and suck way worse. Well, that's what he did with every single project. He's the worst builder, worst businessman ever. The only thing he ever made money from is marketing, not from actually building anything. He's a destroyer.

Oh, the ballroom's going to be great. He destroyed the east wing. It no longer exists. There is no ballroom and they're reflecting pools of disaster. Absolutely. All he's done is destroy things in his path and never actually rebuilt. We did get something out of this though, a positive. Let's go to Graphic 18.

We got fun memes. We got fun memes. This is Marco Rubio as a pool boy. Ready to clean the algae. All right. Well, we gotta take our final break. Let's do that. We'll be right back.

Corn Pop was a bad. All right, let's go to Super Chat. It's Abelina writes, and Anna dispassionately explaining the hate for Zionism is how I will now address pro- lifers to accept the slaughter of children. Nice and slow. Would love to see Jenk dispassionately explain anything, L.O.L. Wait a minute, I thought I dispassionately explained right after she did,

but okay, happy to take the compliment either way. Jeffrey Paff says, funny how anything Zionist label is blood libel is totally fine for them to openly admit in public, but the second we repeated, they lose their minds and start smearing you. Of course. So, Ben Gavir says, we should. should burn all of Lebanon. We go, look, they're trying to burn all of Lebanon.

Blood libel, you anti-Semite. Okay, blood libel is by far the biggest BS so-called trope that they throw around. No one's accusing you guys of literally drinking blood. Oh, the blood of children? Literally no one is accusing you with that. That's just a made up thing they do to protect Israel. And that one they know is a lie. So every single Zionist, and I don't care who you are, who's accused anyone of blood libel,

is a pathological liar who's trying to cover up a genocide and does these disgusting smears of innocent people who are trying to do the right thing and oppose a genocide. And you're a vicious anti-semi. And by the way, the unspoken part and often now spoken part after that is, and hence your life should be destroyed. And then stop antisemitism.com, labor together, canary mission all set out to destroy that person's life. They're the thugs, they're the terrorists. Okay, James Kelly says, did you guys hear Amiad Cohen interview?

He said in 15 years, Egypt and Chutkia are the next target. Yes, yes, he did say that. Thank you for bringing that. Corpop was a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad boys. All right, so guys, don't have enough time for a story on the Young Turks here. So, but let's do the fun interaction we normally do for our members during the commercial breaks with all of you guys, let me read some super chats and some member comments for you all. But if you can join us so you get this during all the commercial breaks, tyt.com slash join

is the way to do that. So super chat, I was just in the middle of reading about James Kelly had said, hey, did you see the Amiyadh Cohen interview where he said in 15 years Egypt and Turkey are next targets for Israel? And also that the US is weak, okay? So look, there's no end to the Greek. an avarice of the Israelis, Neftali Bennett currently leading in the polling, also said that Turkey is next.

And if you ask any Zionists about that, they'll be like, well, of course, we have a right to destroy every country in the Middle East or even close to the Middle East. Self defense, wait, self-defense, Turkey's like so far away from you. What does that have to do with self-defense? You have a perfectly good peace treaty with Egypt, you'd be the one ruining it and going to war. What does that have to do with self-defense? It has nothing new with self-defense guys. Yeah.

They're an imperial fascist empire trying to take as much land as they possibly can in the Middle East. They want to dominate that region of the world and any country nearby that has a modicum of power, they want to destroy. So yeah, I mean, they are broadcasting to you what they intend to drag the United States into next. We have to end this relationship, I mean. Completely, utterly.

Completely. Yeah. Yeah, all right, Joshua James, thank you for the donation on Super Chat. Ali HSA Chen wrote an Anna, you should be the next president of the USA. Oh, come on, no. Besides your extreme beauty, your knowledge and commitment to truth are so great that I'm sure the whole world will campaign for you for free just to hear you speak. Oh my God, please stop. That is very sweet, please stop.

Don't worry. I'm very happy doing what I'm doing. And I think I'm more effective here than I would be in public office, to be honest with you. We'll see, okay. Michael Cotabelli writes in, not sure you guys saw mom. Donnie called A-Pact monsters for supporting the status quo at a rally for DSA congressional candidates, which caused backlash accusing him of anti-Semitism claiming he's talking about all Jews.

So Michael, we did mention that earlier in the show, as you probably saw, I think Michael wrote that in before we mentioned it. And so, yes, that's what I've been kind of livid about throughout the show. Business people I've worked with, like now everybody's coming out of the closet, and they're They're like, here's an anti-Semite, destroy all the anti-Semite. How dare he criticize APEC? You've lost your mind, brother. What is that?

Well, we can't criticize a PAC. We can't criticize a lobby because it works for beloved Israel. Why don't you just announce that you love Israel more than America? And you love it when they buy our politicians. And you love it when they corrupt our system. And you love it when they force our government to work for Israel. That's the facts on the ground. Don't pretend you're offended by anti-Semitism because somebody's criticizing a pack and a lobby.

What's happening right now is more and more Americans are seeing this alliance with Israel as detrimental for our country, for our people. And more and more people, ordinary people, are turning on Israel. And designists see it and they hate it, but there's nothing they can do about it. So they're just seething about it or trying to censor people, ban people, or destroy their livelihood. over it. Yeah, and they think that they, it's, unfortunately, Israel supporters here in this country, the politicians, the media figures, et cetera, feel the same way that these Israeli government does, which is we're entitled to destroy you.

We're entitled to your money, we're entitled to your support, we're entitled to making you shut up, shut your mouth. You're not allowed to criticize Israel or the Israeli lobby, we're entitled to that. And if you don't give us everything we're entitled to, we're gonna destroy you. Okay, well then you're the bad guy. Wakey, waky, you put yourself in a weird or trance because you got brainwashed when you were young. No, the whole world doesn't hate you and they didn't hate Israel until Israel started slaughtering tens of thousands of children. They're like, no, it's not that.

It must be that they irrationally hate Jews. No, brother, that means you've lost your frickin mind. That's the reality. All right, remember Monday's is next. So stay right here.
